 Chapter 1

    [Name: Chen Mobai]


    [Age: 18]


    [Realm: Qi Refinement Level-5]


    [Spiritual Root: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 23, Fire 17, Earth 10]


    ¡­


    At the Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect in Danxia City, at the seat by the window in a classroom, a handsome young man took out his cell phone that was as light as jade and opened his personal data interface.


    School had just started, so their form teacher wanted to check everyone¡¯s cultivation progress during the holidays. Chen Mobai edited some content that needed to be updated.


    Then, he connected to the school website and was about to send his personal interface to the form teacher when he heard a voice in his ear.


    ¡°Eh? You actually went into seclusion to cultivate during the holidays and broke through to Qi Refinement Level-5.¡±


    After his deskmate sent his interface to the form teacher, he glanced at Chen Mobai¡¯s screen and saw that Chen Mobai had filled in ¡°Qi Refinement Level-5¡± in the Realm column. His tone was slightly sour.


    Although the content on the personal interface was filled in by the students themselves, the school could easily verify the authenticity of the content through various exams. Basically, no one would fill in the content randomly. After all, if one was caught faking their information, it would be recorded in the files. This would affect one¡¯s graduation or even their role allocation in the war.


    In the immortal sect, the punishment for cheating was quite severe.


    ¡°I¡¯m different from you. I have a True Spiritual Root. As long as I work hard, I can cultivate much faster than you with your pseudo Spiritual Root.¡±


    There was a hint of smugness in Chen Mobai¡¯s words. Apart from being taken to the temple by his mother to offer incense, he had spent the rest of his time in seclusion at home. With the help of pills, he had finally broken through the bottleneck and advanced to Qi Refinement Level-5.


    ¡°It¡¯s so unfair that your Spiritual Root ranks among the True Spiritual Roots with those attributes.¡±


    His deskmate was furious, but there was nothing he could do. That was the rule of the immortal sect.


    If a Spiritual Root reached 20 points in a certain attribute, it would be considered a Spiritual Root of that attribute. When Chen Mobai was in his mother¡¯s womb, the heavens hadn¡¯t been paying attention to the distribution of talent. Thus, the distribution was a little balanced, and his Spiritual Root was classified as a pseudo Spiritual Root in all attributes.


    However, in reality, the Spiritual Root Attribute points of the person sitting next to Chen Mobai were about the same as Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    ¡°Yes, not bad. Many people have improved during the holidays.¡±


    At this point, the form teacher standing on the podium had finished looking at everyone¡¯s interfaces. A rare smile appeared on his usually serious face.


    Following this, the teacher praised every student who had made progress.


    One of them was Chen Mobai.


    The form teacher¡¯s praise caused the two pretty students sitting in front of him to turn around. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but hold his head high and puffed out his chest, looking extremely pleased with himself.


    Having reached Qi Refinement Level-5, he was among the top 20 in the class.


    He was already in his third year of high school. If he worked hard, he might be able to advance by another level before the university entrance examination.


    If he reached Qi Refinement Level-6, he would have no hope for the four top-tier Dao Colleges, but he could still hope to enter the second-tier Dao Colleges. As for the third-tier Dao Colleges, such as the local Danzhu College and the Chixia College, he was almost guaranteed to succeed.


    As long as he could enter a Dao College after the college entrance examination, he would not be recruited by the immortal sect to participate in the exploration war for the next ten years.


    Perhaps there was hope for him to build his foundation.


    ¡°Finally, I would like to commend Song Zheng and Yan Bingxuan. I didn¡¯t expect that in my lifetime, I would be able to produce two students who have reached the later stages of the Qi Refinement Realm.¡±


    Chai Deyun had just become a form teacher six years ago, and this class was considered the first class he had led. Thus, his emotions were at their peak. He put down the tablet in his hand with a sentimental look. Then, his usually serious gaze became gentle. Together with everyone in the classroom, he looked at the boy and girl who had stood up.


    These were the two top students in their class and also the top students with the most outstanding Spiritual Root Attributes. Indeed, they had lived up to expectations and had entered Qi Refinement Level-7 before the college entrance examination.


    With such results, they would be able to enter second-tier Dao Colleges for sure. Furthermore, they would be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm within ten years. If they succeeded, they would even be able to achieve the Golden Core Dao Seed in the future. At that point, even within the immortal sect, they would be people who would be heavily nurtured.


    Chen Mobai also had a look of envy on his face. Unlike his True Spiritual Root, which bent the rules, Song Zheng and Yang Bingxuan both had genuine True Spiritual Roots. One of them had achieved more than 40 points in a Spiritual Root Attribute, so it would be much easier to cultivate that attribute.


    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all for today¡¯s class.¡±


    When he heard the bell from the highest floor of the school, Chai Deyun gathered the test papers and announced the end of class.


    All the students immediately dispersed.


    Even Chen Mobai simply took his cell phone and jumped out from the window by his side before rushing to the cultivation room.


    Fortunately, he had gone into seclusion during the holidays and his cultivation level had increased by a level, while the Vertical Raising Spell was accelerated by 30 percent. Hence, he was able to arrive at the cultivation room before most people.


    He had no time to choose a room. He saw an empty training room with an open door and simply rushed in.


    There was a beep.


    Chen Mobai swiped the electronic student card in his cell phone and the word ¡°empty¡± on the electronic screen at the door of the cultivation room instantly disappeared. Then, he slowly closed the door.


    ¡°Foo!¡±


    Outside the door, the student who was a step slower cursed and hurriedly rushed to another empty cultivation room.


    It was no wonder they were so anxious.


    It was because spiritual energy was hard to come by.


    After 6,000 years of development by the immortal sect, the resources of Planet Earth were almost depleted. All the spiritual veins and vitality in the 36 Grotto-Heavens and 72 Blessed Lands had been nationalized. Thus, the spiritual energy that was left in the world was at most enough for cultivators to maintain basic breathing exercises.


    Furthermore, if a cultivator wanted to absorb spiritual energy to cultivate, they would have to pay Karma Points to the immortal sect.


    A monthly payment of 10 Karma Points was required for inferior-grade Rank-1 leyline spiritual energy to be delivered to one¡¯s residence.


    Chen Mobai was at Qi Refinement Level-5. Thus, the inferior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy was useless to him.


    If he wanted middle-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy, he would have to pay 20 Karma Points every month.


    As for superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy, one would have to pay a monthly fee of 40 Karma Points.


    To Chen Mobai, the provided amount of middle-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy would only allow him to stabilize his cultivation and barely make progress. If he wanted to improve quickly, it would be best if he used superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy.


    Of course, if he had Rank-2 or even Rank-3 leyline spiritual energy, that would be even better.


    But this was just a thought.


    Only the families of Foundation Establishment cultivators or start-ups could apply to the immortal sect to use Rank-2 spiritual veins.


    Sensing that the concentration of spiritual energy in the three-square-meter cultivation room had started to rise, Chen Mobai opened the software on his cell phone to test the spiritual energy value.


    After almost a minute, the numbers finally stopped changing.


    [Spiritual Energy Value: 10]


    The grade of the leyline spiritual energy could be measured using the Spiritual Energy Value.


    According to the rules of the immortal sect, a Spiritual Energy Value of 1 to 10 meant that the spiritual energy was from a Rank-1 spiritual vein.


    If the Spiritual Energy Value was between 10 to 100, the spiritual energy would be from a Rank-2 spiritual vein.


    If the Spiritual Energy Value was between 100 to 1,000, the spiritual energy would be from a Rank-3 spiritual vein¡­


    And so on and so forth. It was said that the highest-leveled spiritual vein in the entire immortal sect was the cave where the two Soul Formation Patriarch were. It was a Rank-6 spiritual vein.

 Chapter 2

    ¡°Indeed, school benefits are better. A superior-grade Level 1 spiritual energy cultivation room can be used for free for two hours a day.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about how during the holidays, in order to help him break through, his mother had gritted her teeth and used her Karma Points to raise the leyline spiritual energy in the house to superior-grade Rank-1. Even then, the Spiritual Energy Value was only 7, and would occasionally fluctuate to 8 or 9.


    Meanwhile, the Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect was built on top of an inferior-grade Rank-3 spiritual vein and had a total of 300 cultivation rooms.


    After all, these students were the future flowers of the immortal sect. The school couldn¡¯t let them starve.


    Of the 300 cultivation rooms, the first-, second-, and third-year students used 100 rooms each. They enjoyed inferior-, middle-, and superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy respectively.


    The third-year students had it the hardest. After all, the concentration of spiritual energy in these cultivation rooms were already at the peak of Rank-1.


    The cultivation room was simple and square. There was only a futon in the middle of the blue stone floor.


    Chen Mobai did not waste any time. He put his cell phone away and turned on the video recording mode in the Auxiliary Cultivation app. Then, he sat on the futon and started to refine the spiritual energy.


    Since he had just broken through to Qi Refinement Level-5, and had relied on the power of pills, his realm was unstable. In the last two hours, he had not cultivated the Five Elements Internal Technique. He had only circulated the most basic Qi Nurturing Spell.


    Streams of warm currents flowed through his meridians. The pale white spiritual energy that was about to turn into clouds in the cultivation room was like a long dragon that surged into Chen Mobai¡¯s nose and mouth. It fused with his increased spiritual power and slowly integrated with it, turning into his true strength.


    He was immediately immersed in this feeling, unable to extricate himself.


    Time passed slowly.


    There was a loud clang!


    The Soul Suppressing Spell in the cultivation room woke Chen Mobai up from his cultivation. No matter how reluctant he was to leave, he remembered that his classmates had been waiting outside for a long time. He could only pick up his cell phone and walk out of the cultivation room.


    As soon as he came out, a female classmate who was at the front of the queue immediately rushed in, swiped her card, and shut the door.


    He wasn¡¯t the only one. Ninety-nine other third-year students also reluctantly walked out of the cultivation rooms.


    Among them was Chen Mobai¡¯s deskmate, Lu Hongsheng.


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re in luck. You were actually the first batch of students to use the rooms.¡±


    After greeting him, Chen Mobai realized that Lu Hongsheng¡¯s expression was gloomy and unhappy.


    ¡°Do you know what I just saw?¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that Lu Hongsheng couldn¡¯t keep a secret. After a while, Lu Hongsheng took the initiative to speak.


    ¡°I saw Song Zheng enter a Rank-2 spiritual vein cultivation room.¡±


    ¡°A Rank-2 spiritual vein cultivation room? Isn¡¯t that exclusive to teachers? Who would allow Song Zheng to use their cultivation room?¡±


    Of course, the school not only had cultivation rooms for students, but also high-end cultivation rooms specially for teachers.


    Apart from the Rank-3 cultivation room that belonged exclusively to the principal, who was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the other ten Rank-2 cultivation rooms required even the teachers to queue up for their turn.


    The fact that Song Zheng was able to enter a Rank-2 cultivation room meant that a teacher had given him their cultivation resources.


    ¡°Who else could it be? It must be Old Man Ding. He has failed twice in achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm and doesn¡¯t have much time left. He¡¯s focused on his education career. When he saw that Song Zheng had hopes of entering the four top Dao Colleges, he gave him his share of the Rank-2 cultivation room.¡±


    As he said this, Lu Hongsheng was green with envy.


    He wished that he was Song Zheng.


    ¡°This is so unfair. The school doesn¡¯t even care.¡±


    As the two of them spoke, a few of their classmates at the side heard them. One of the boys was indignant.


    Although there was no such thing as fairness in society, in school, the people of the management class still tacitly maintained fairness on the surface.


    Although a teacher had shared their own share of cultivation resources to a student, the real ownership of the cultivation room still belonged to the school. This was already unfair to the students. If they reported this to the Academic Affairs Office, at least it would create a storm.


    ¡°What do you know? I heard that Song Zheng has officially become Teacher Ding¡¯s disciple during the holidays. He¡¯s registered in the inheritance hall of the immortal sect¡¯s Ministry of Education, and they are now master and disciple. The master has given the resources to the disciple, so even the administrative office can¡¯t interfere.¡±


    One of the female students, who had a faithful expression on her face, said to the male student who was about to make a complaint.


    Song Zheng was good-looking and a young genius. Thus, he was quite popular among the girls.


    Chen Mobai was silently envious too.


    If he were to cultivate for a semester with a Rank-2 spiritual vein, he was confident that he would be able to advance to Qi Refinement Rank-6. Students of this level would not be able to enter the four top Dao Colleges, but it was still possible for them to enter second-tier Dao Colleges. Furthermore, they could choose any third-tier Dao College.


    He also had a True Spiritual Root. Why hadn¡¯t any teacher taken a fancy to him?


    It could only be said that there were differences between True Spirit Roots.


    ¡°You guys can chat. I¡¯m going home. See you tomorrow.¡±


    Chen Mobai still had the desire to improve himself. Although he felt that this was unfair, he had no intention of getting involved in these disputes.


    After he finished using the free time in the school¡¯s cultivation room, he rushed home. After all, his mother had forked out a lot to buy half a year¡¯s worth of superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy just so that he could get good results in the college entrance examination.


    He couldn¡¯t waste his mother¡¯s effort.


    When Chen Mobai went home, there was no one present.


    His dad and mom were both working hard to support the family. In particular, after renting the spiritual vein for half a year, they had to work overtime even more and would return home late every day.


    First, Chen Mobai cooked a pot of spiritual rice. Then, in his mother¡¯s office, he cut up pieces of yellow paper and made them into standard paper talismans that were 12 centimeters long and 6 centimeters wide.


    By the time the spiritual rice was cooked, Chen Mobai had already cut more than a hundred blank talismans.


    He counted 12 sheets and stacked them one by one. Then he tied them up with a special spirit rope. He arranged six stacks of talismans into two rows and placed them into the package.


    The cost of this kind of large talisman was 1 Karma Point. If it was cut and packaged, it could be sold for 2 Karma Points. After some calculation, he would earn about 1 Karma Point for each box.


    In order to supplement the family income, Chen Mobai would do whatever he could.


    He arranged the two boxes of packed talismans neatly on the table. Together with the eight boxes that he had previously cut, they made up a total of ten boxes, which filled the whole table.


    He took out his cell phone and took more than ten pictures from different angles. Then, he selected a few of the better-looking ones and placed them in the online market that the immortal sect had officially opened.


    Normally, there would be a steady stream of bidders throughout the week in the mainland. At that point, Chen Mobai would choose the highest bidder to sell the talismans to.


    Because he couldn¡¯t afford the teleportation fees, he had limited the sale of his goods to face-to-face transactions in Danxia City.


    The public transport in the city was well-developed and his student card allowed him to use it for free.


    After he had eaten the spiritual rice that was as plump as jade, Chen Mobai cast a cleaning spell to clean up the pots and pans. Then, he returned to his bedroom.


    Even though a cultivation room had been specially constructed at the entrance of the underground leyline pipe that transported spiritual energy, Chen Mobai still liked to cultivate spiritual energy in his own room.


    After all, as long as the door of the cultivation room was open, the superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy would spread to every room in the house. Even if the windows were open, the spiritual seal throughout the house would firmly lock the leyline spiritual energy in the house, so there was no need to worry about wastage.


    Of course, the expanded range was also why the concentration of spiritual energy in the house was not as high as the cultivation room in school.


    However, Chen Mobai was already very satisfied.


    He resisted the urge to scroll through his cell phone and watch livestreams. He didn¡¯t want to think about those little fairies dancing and singing. He calmed himself down and sat cross-legged on his bed, preparing to cultivate. Suddenly, he saw a turtle shell on the bedside table.


    ¡°Really, Mom, why did you bring such an unlucky thing?!¡±

 Chapter 3

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    When Chen Mobai saw the turtle shell, he felt a slight pain in the wound on his right hand that had healed.


    This was what had happened.


    Half a month ago, he had just broken through to Qi Refinement Level-5. His superstitious mother had been so happy that she had taken him back to her hometown in the mountains to offer incense to a temple that was said to be very effective.


    Then, some god-damned person pushed him from behind as he was offering incense, causing him to stagger. In order to steady himself, he reached out to grab a turtle shell that had been enshrined in front of the statue.


    The turtle shell had been smoked by fire for many years and was not very clean. In the end, Chen Mobai¡¯s right hand was cut by the sharp surface of the turtle shell, which had directly infected his wound. He was so weak that he could not even stand steadily and had to be hospitalized for half a month.


    Since her precious son had been hospitalized because of this thing, his mother was naturally unwilling to let the matter rest. She had a long argument with the abbot of the temple in her hometown, hoping to get back the 188 Karma Points that had been offered.


    However, the senior cultivator was not an easy person to deal with, or rather, the temple was really poor. No matter what Chen Mobai¡¯s mother said, the senior cultivator refused to give up and only gave her two talismans.


    They were evenly matched. However, the senior cultivator was in the wrong after all and finally relented.


    The senior cultivator allowed Chen Mobai¡¯s indignant mother to take the turtle shell away. She said that she wanted to burn it to rid her son of his bad luck.


    However, the turtle shell had not been burnt.


    After all, it was forbidden to start a fire in the city. All the resources that had not been used had to be recycled. After using a special method, the Earth Master would bury them in the spiritual pivots to maintain the cycle of spiritual energy in Planet Earth.


    In the city, only companies that were approved and licensed to refine pills and equipment could start a fire.


    Chen Mobai rolled his eyes and got up to throw the turtle shell into the trash bin. He hoped that the Earth Master would bury this unlucky thing tomorrow.


    However, just as he placed his hand on the turtle shell, a silver light flashed.


    Caught off guard, Chen Mobai¡¯s entire body was enveloped by the silver light and he disappeared from the room.


    ¡­


    He lost track of time.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s consciousness returned to his body and he slowly got up.


    He looked around and realized that he was no longer in his own room, but in a mysterious cave abode.


    He had no idea where this cave abode was, but he was sure of one thing.


    He was currently underwater.


    He looked up and saw a sea of blue.


    The entire cave abode was covered by a thin semi-elliptical spherical light barrier. When the fish and crabs in the water hit the light barrier, they bounced off as though they had hit rubber.


    Chen Mobai waited for almost ten minutes, but no senior expert appeared. He slowly turned around to check.


    Upon closer inspection, he realized that this was a small underwater cave.


    The place where he was standing now should be the front hall of the cave abode. There was a pedestal in each of the four corners with an array flag on each of them. In addition to the main array flag and pedestal in the center of the cave abode behind him, it formed a simple waterproof formation.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai had put in a lot of effort in his formation lessons. Thus, he managed to identify this middle-grade Rank-2 formation. Apart from gathering energy, avoiding water, and hiding and defending, it had no other destructive capabilities.


    He carefully tested the array formation according to what he had learned in school. After about an hour, he finally heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no errors.


    After confirming that this cave abode wasn¡¯t filled with danger, Chen Mobai waited for another half an hour before he started walking around.


    This cave was indeed very small. Apart from the front hall, which was clearly visible, there were only three side halls.


    The side hall in the middle should be a cultivation room. He wondered if there was anyone inside. Chen Mobai took out a ¡°Wooden Armor Talisman¡± from his pocket and held it in his palm. This was his life-saving talisman.


    This was a middle-grade Rank-1 talisman. It could block the attacks of a Qi Refinement Level-6 cultivator.


    With the talisman in hand, he felt slightly safer.


    Then, Chen Mobai took out another coin, placed it on the ground, and gently rolled it towards the door of the side hall.


    Sizzle!


    The moment the coin rolled to the front door, a deep blue electric light flashed, vaporizing the jade-like coin into a cloud of spiritual mist.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s heart ached when he saw this.


    This one-dollar coin was worth one Karma Point.


    It was made of dried-up Spirit Stones that had been crushed and mixed with other jade, minerals, and metal. It was infused with a little spiritual energy to protect against counterfeiting. It was the base currency unit on Planet Earth.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s pocket money was only five dollars a week. He had worked so hard to earn some money from cutting talismans, but he only had 80 Karma Points in his private savings.


    Now that he had lost a coin, he hesitated.


    After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from the side hall in the middle, where the restriction had been triggered. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He searched all over his body, but he could only use coins to test the waters. Thus, he could only bear the pain and roll two coins towards the other two side halls.


    Sizzle!


    Splash!


    The two completely different sound effects and lights made Chen Mobai widen his eyes.


    The restriction on the left side of the door produced the same result as the one in the middle. It triggered a dark blue electric light and directly vaporized the coin.


    However, the restriction on the door of the side hall on the right was completely different. Instead, a deep blue ripple appeared and pushed the coin back like a wave.


    Chen Mobai turned his body to the side to avoid the coin that rolled back.


    When the coin stopped with a roll, he took out another coin and accurately hit it to ensure that there was no residual power of the restriction on it. Only then did he put the coin away.


    He moved to the door of the side hall on the right and carefully tested it a few times. After confirming that the restriction on the door was harmless, he tried to break it.


    However, Chen Mobai did not have any talismans that could break the restriction. The only cultivation technique that he cultivated was the Five Elements Internal Technique that the school had taught him. It was used to build his foundation.


    ¡°If I had known, I would have bought the Water Sword Talisman that I had been eyeing for a long time.¡±


    After trying for a long time, Chen Mobai still could not break the water wave restriction on the door. He couldn¡¯t help but feel regret. He had many items in his shopping cart that he wanted to buy from the online market of the immortal sect.


    One of them was a Water Sword Talisman that was worth 30 Karma Points. It was a middle-grade Rank-1 talisman that was suitable for him to use at Qi Refinement Level-5.


    He felt the strength of the water wave restriction on the side door and felt that it was about the same as the ¡°Wooden Armor Talisman¡± in his hand. If he used a ¡°Water Sword Talisman¡±, he should be able to break it.


    He racked his brain and tried to think of a solution. Chen Mobai was at his wits¡¯ end.


    He could only return to the main hall of the water mansion and sit on the central pedestal where he had woken up. He started to meditate to recover the Dharmic powers he had used to test the water wave restriction.


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    The moment he sat down, he jumped up in shock. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and opened the software that tested the concentration of spiritual energy.


    [Spiritual Energy Value: 60]


    ¡°This is actually a middle-grade Rank-2 spiritual vein.¡±


    Chen Mobai was even more frightened now. This was either the villa of a wealthy family or the cave abode of a cultivator of a higher level than him. If they saw a stranger like him here, they wouldn¡¯t be happy.


    ¡°Why am I here? Oh, that turtle shell¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai had thought of the main point, but he had searched all the places in the front hall that he could move around. He had even searched the pots of flowers and plants, but he had not found the turtle shell.


    ¡°Oh no, how am I going to explain this to Dad and Mom?!¡±


    He waited for another hour and looked at the time. He felt that his parents would be home soon, so he had to take the last route.


    He dialed 110.


    He hoped that the law enforcement cultivators of the immortal sect would be able to locate his cell phone and rescue him from this water mansion.

 Chapter 4

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°What should I say when I call the police? Should I say that I was brought here by the turtle shell? Should I say that I was kidnapped? Or do I tell them that I got lost?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai anxiously dialed the number of the immortal sect¡¯s law enforcement department, something shocking happened.


    There was no signal!


    He couldn¡¯t make the call!


    On Planet Earth, even the bottom of the deep sea that was thousands of meters deep was covered by the satellites of the immortal sect.


    Chen Mobai had even heard from a certain Rank-5 Array Master on television that 2,000 years ago, even the immortal cultivators who had fought their way into the Earth Abyss during the exploration war had been able to find the signal of Planet Earth and maintain communication between all the cultivators.


    But where exactly was he now?


    Chen Mobai was at a loss!


    He went through all the knowledge he had in his head. He even searched all the places in the water mansion that were not dangerous and knocked on every brick on the ground.


    However, in the end, Chen Mobai could only helplessly sit on the floor of the front hall.


    There was no sign of him leaving.


    Just as he was about to accept his fate and start cultivating, his cell phone screen suddenly lit up with a silver light, attracting his attention.


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    He realized that the icon of an application that he had never downloaded before had suddenly appeared on his cell phone.


    The icon was a dark green little turtle.


    The name of the application was shown below the icon.


    It was called ¡°Turtle Treasure¡±!


    What was this?


    Chen Mobai subconsciously moved his finger to the app icon, wanting to uninstall it. He did not allow software that he was unaware of to appear on his cell phone.


    Then, three red words, ¡°unable to uninstall¡±, appeared on the screen.


    What was going on?


    This cell phone was out of control!


    Chen Mobai was so angry that he was about to switch his cell phone back on when he suddenly had an idea.


    The ¡°Turtle Treasure¡± application¡­ Could it be¡­ That turtle shell!?


    He quickly opened the app.


    This action didn¡¯t cause any trouble and he clicked on it smoothly.


    It was a simple homepage with only three function buttons¡ª[Teleport], [Return to City], and [Representative].


    Chen Mobai was pleasantly surprised, but he still felt a little uneasy. He closed the app before opening it again. After confirming that there was no explanation, he clicked on [Return to City] based on his understanding.


    [This process requires eight seconds of guidance. No interruptions are allowed during this time. Please find a quiet place.]


    Just as he hit the [Return to City] button, a line of words suddenly appeared on the screen.


    Just as Chen Mobai was still trying to figure out what could be considered an interruption, a silver light suddenly flashed and surrounded him. Then, like a spiral, it broke through the void and disappeared from the water mansion with him.


    ¡°Did I come back just like that?¡±


    After the silver light flashed, Chen Mobai realized that he was standing in his room again. His hand was touching the turtle shell.


    There was a whoosh.


    He drew his hand back as quickly as he could and fell back to his bed. Then, he pulled out the sword that his father had bought for him at an attraction when he was young.


    The sword was shiny, but it was designed for a child. Thus, it was only 30 centimeters long and was extremely shoddy.


    The room was silent for about two minutes.


    Chen Mobai stared at the turtle shell. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with this thing, the sound of the door opening came from the first floor.


    His mother was back.


    The familiar sound of the door opening and closing told Chen Mobai who it was.


    As there was a sign saying ¡°cultivating¡± on the door of Chen Mobai¡¯s room, his mother did not disturb him. However, he still heard a familiar mumbling voice.


    ¡°This child, I¡¯ve already told him to cultivate in the cultivation room at the entrance of the spiritual vein. Why does he still like to hide in his own room?¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not go downstairs.


    He gently returned the child-sized Demon Vanquishing Sword in his hand to its sheath. Then, using the Light Body Technique, he landed in front of the turtle shell and carefully observed it.


    ¡­


    The next day.


    In low spirits, Chen Mobai went downstairs and ate the breakfast that his mother had meticulously prepared while his mother nagged at him. Then, he carried his backpack and hurriedly caught the bus.


    After the morning self-study session, a plainly-dressed old man walked into the classroom on time.


    ¡°Hello, Teacher Ding!¡±


    After the students stood up and greeted him, Old Man Ding nodded calmly.


    ¡°Today, we will continue to explain the solidification of defensive Dharma spells¡­¡±


    The teaching materials of the immortal sect divided the content that all cultivators needed to know into four courses.


    The four courses were Dharma Spells, Pills, Equipment, and Array!


    These four major courses were further divided into dozens of other subjects and specializations. To third-year students, it was necessary to choose one of these courses as their main course to set their future learning direction.


    It was equivalent to the division of arts and sciences in high school before Planet Earth became a cultivation civilization.


    However, there were now four subjects to choose from.


    After all, if one wanted to get into those Dao Colleges, apart from their basic score in the college entrance examination and their cultivation level, there was also the final and most critical assessment issued by the Dao Colleges.


    As for Chen Mobai¡¯s class, they had chosen the Dharma Spell course as their main course.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know why others would choose this course, but he had chosen this course because it was the most economical course.


    As for the rest of the subjects, be it the Pill course, the Equipment course, or even the Array course, to practice or even improve, one would need a certain amount of resources and Karma Points.


    Meanwhile, the Dharma Spells course was the most straightforward.


    There was only one word to sum it up: practice!


    Furthermore, one could choose to advance as a Talisman Master if they joined the Dharma Spell course. In the later stages of cultivation, it would be a profession with great potential for making money.


    Since young, Chen Mobai had been determined to become a Talisman Master.


    He had the family background to do so. After all, his mother worked in a talisman manufacturing factory. Under the influence of his mother, he had gained some insights Thus, he could shorten the time needed to learn the skills and spend more time on cultivation instead.


    Old Man Ding was also known as Manager Ding. He was a well-known cultivator in Danxia City.


    When he was young, his aptitude was alright. He had a True Spiritual Root with three attributes, which was slightly better than Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    His results during the college entrance examination had been average and he had barely managed to get into the local Danzhu College. However, he had a tenacious personality. Thus, after 20 years of hard work at Danzhu College, he had passed the Immortal Ascension examination of the ten top colleges and had been accepted.


    However, he was too late in producing results.


    Even though he entered Pure Yang College, cultivated the Qi Refinement Realm to perfection before the 60-year limit, and obtained the secret techniques of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he still failed at the verge of success.


    After using his one-time attempt to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, Manager Ding suffered for another 20 years. He once again cultivated the Qi Refinement Realm to perfection. Then, with great determination he tried to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm again.


    However, it was a pity that things did not go well and Manager Ding still failed.


    After two tries, he exhausted all his potential and returned to Danxia City, where he was born, to be a teacher.


    Before reaching the Foundation Establishment, he had been focused on cultivation. However, after he had failed and returned to his roots, he had extra time to study the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.


    Among them, because Dharma Spells did not require capital, Manager Ding had a deep understanding of it. However, his teaching skills were average and most people would get sleepy listening to him.


    Usually, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t too serious, but today was different.

 Chapter 5

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    After Manager Ding announced the end of class, everyone in the classroom rushed to the cultivation rooms.


    Chen Mobai purposely pretended to be one step behind and missed the first batch. Then, he stomped his feet and sighed, using the excuse of going to the toilet to enter the teacher¡¯s office.


    The immortal sect only had classes in the morning. Students would self-study in the afternoon.


    All the students went to the cultivation rooms after class, and the teachers were no exception. Apart from Manager Ding, who had exhausted his potential and was destined to no longer be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, the rest of the students, such as Chai Deyun, were all focused on their cultivation.


    However, even then, only Manager Ding would give up his use of the Rank-2 spiritual energy cultivation room.


    Thus, Chen Mobai had thought that Old Man Ding would be the only person in the teacher¡¯s office at this moment.


    However, just as he arrived at the door, he realized that apart from himself, there were already another classmate present.


    It was not Song Zheng, Old Man Ding¡¯s successor, but another late-stage Qi Refinement Realm cultivator in their class, Yang Bingxuan.


    Her bare face was beautiful and her long hair draped over her shoulders. Even the large school uniform could not hide her tall figure. When she saw Chen Mobai standing at the door, she frowned slightly. Then, she bowed slightly to Old Man Ding and left.


    Chen Mobai nodded at Yan Bingxuan, who was walking out. Yan Bingxuan hesitated for a moment before nodding in response.


    The two of them had different social circles in class. Although they were in the same class, they had only interacted briefly.


    However, Chen Mobai still felt that compared to last semester, Yan Bingxuan seemed to have a colder personality and temperament this semester.


    As though to match her name, this genius cultivator had made herself increasingly cold1.


    ¡°Chen Mobai, why are you here instead of waiting at the cultivation rooms?¡±


    Old Man Ding thought that he was a rather humorous person. After Chen Mobai heard this, he walked in with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this, Teacher Ding. In order for me to have good results in the college entrance examination, my mother hired a tutor to guide me in the application of Dharma spells. Yesterday, he gave me an after-school assignment and asked me to break a wave-like defense barrier. However, I¡¯m really slow-witted and have no choice but to ask Teacher Ding for help.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Old Man Ding did not suspect anything.


    After all, the best way to improve one¡¯s Dharma spells cultivation was to keep practicing.


    Although the content taught in the school was extensive, in terms of specific spells and restrictions, it was indeed inferior to the content taught by some of the private practitioners.


    ¡°Your mom is quite generous. Private training doesn¡¯t come cheap.¡±


    Old Master Ding said casually as he searched for the origin of the water wave restriction in his spell database according to Chen Mobai¡¯s description.


    ¡°My mother has high hopes for me. I can only work hard and trouble Teacher Ding.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to say much, so he could only be vague. Following this, he told Manager Ding in detail about how he had used coins to test the water wave restriction in the water mansion.


    ¡°Yes, according to your description, it¡¯s very likely that these three Dharma spells were used to create the restriction.¡±


    Ever since he had lost hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had put all his heart and soul into education. Thus, he put in a lot of effort to help Chen Mobai, who rarely took the initiative to seek guidance from him. As a result, he managed to dig out three spells from his spell database.


    The three spells were Water Shield, Wave Spell, and Scale Wave Technique.


    ¡°I¡¯ve sent the details of the Dharma spells and the way to crack the spells to your personal database. Go home and experiment more. If you still can¡¯t do it, you can write a report and send it to me.¡±


    When Chen Mobai saw that Manager Ding had sent the three spell files to his interface address, he thanked Manager Ding profusely.


    If he wanted to download the information on these three spells from the immortal sect¡¯s spell library, he would have to pay at least 30 Karma Points.


    Furthermore, without a teacher like Manager Ding, who had a deep understanding of Dharma spells, Chen Mobai would have had to spend days and nights searching the internet alone.


    The welfare from the school was really good!


    Chen Mobai sighed from the bottom of his heart. This was also the reason why they placed so much importance on the college entrance examination.


    If one managed to get into those Dao Colleges, not only would they be able to use Divine Knowledge realm, but they would also be able to use secret techniques, Divine Knowledge realm spells, and immortal techniques for free.


    On Planet Earth, due to the mechanical civilization, there was basically no bias towards knowledge.


    As long as one reached the late stages of the Nascent Soul Realm, they could obtain the secret techniques of the Soul Formation Realm passed down by the immortal sect for free.


    It was also because of this that a Soul Formation Patriarch could be born in a world like Planet Earth, where resources were scarce, and lead the immortal sect.


    ¡°By the way, Teacher Ding, did Yan Bingxuan also come to ask you for advice on Dharma spells?¡±


    Before Chen Mobai left, he recalled what had just happened and subconsciously asked.


    ¡°Yan Bingxuan? After entering the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, she seemed to have decided to transform her gold and water double-attribute True Spiritual Root into an ice Spiritual Root. She was asking me for advice on how to purify and improve her Spiritual Root.¡±


    Initially, Chen Mobai had not thought that he would get an answer. However, Manager Ding had said it directly, causing him to widen his eyes in shock.


    ¡°This¡­ Can the Spiritual Root be converted and improved?¡±


    ¡°Oh, you haven¡¯t reached this level yet, but it¡¯s okay to tell you in advance.¡±


    Manager Ding tapped twice on his keyboard, selected a document, and sent it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°The reason why I was accepted by Pure Yang College was because I had cultivated in seclusion for 20 years in Danzhu College. I had managed to transform my Spiritual Root into a Three-Yang Body. This can be considered a mutation into a special Spiritual Root.¡±


    ¡°However, after 20 years of hard work, although my Spiritual Root has become a superior-grade Spiritual Root, I was left with insufficient time to achieve perfection in the Qi Refinement Realm.¡±


    ¡°All of you know the story of the rest of my life. Even though I had the Three-Yang Body, I failed twice in reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm and my potential was exhausted.¡±


    Chen Mobai roughly browsed through the document that Manager Ding had sent him regarding Spiritual Roots and found out the reason.


    Due to the lack of resources on Planet Earth, the mighty figures of the immortal sects could only focus on developing Dharma spells and cultivation techniques, hoping to improve the overall quality of the cultivators in the immortal sect.


    Six thousand years ago, Guru Tianbo created the ¡°Gold Point Technique¡±. It could increase the attributes of the metal-attribute Spiritual Roots. When cultivated to the peak, it could turn an ordinary pseudo Spiritual Root that had less than 20 points into a metal-attribute Heaven Spiritual Root.


    Today, the immortal sects had more than ten secret spells that could purify and improve one¡¯s Spiritual Root.


    Even the secret spells to transform one¡¯s Spiritual Root into an ice Spiritual Root, a thunder Spiritual Root, or a wind Spiritual Root were widely circulated among the various schools.


    ¡°The better the Spiritual Root, the faster you can cultivate. However, if you spend time improving your Spiritual Root, the amount of time you spend cultivating will decrease accordingly. I¡¯m a negative example.¡±


    ¡°Hence, the immortal sect has a rule that before you go to university, teachers will not teach such content in class, in case the students get distracted.¡±


    ¡°Meanwhile, after you enter university, the various schools and colleges will have secret techniques that are suitable for you to inherit. These techniques will help you improve your Spiritual Root. However, whether you want to cultivate it or not will depend on you.¡±

 Chapter 6

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Chen Mobai looked at the time. There was still more than an hour before the first batch of students finished using the cultivation rooms. He wasn¡¯t in a hurry to leave, so he started to ask more questions about purifying and improving his Spiritual Root.


    ¡°There must be someone highly-skilled in Yan Bingxuan¡¯s family. They know that her Spiritual Root can be turned into an ice Spiritual Root through the Frost Condensation Technique. Hence, she has been working hard in this direction since the beginning of her cultivation.¡±


    ¡°With regards to the way to purify and improve one¡¯s Spiritual Root, less time and resources will be spent the lower one¡¯s realm is.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s already at the late-stage of the Qi Refinement Realm at such a young age. The conservative estimate is that she¡¯ll be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm three times. Hence, she¡¯s trying to transform her Spiritual Root into an ice Spiritual Root before she achieves perfection in the Qi Refinement Realm.¡±


    ¡°Once she succeeds, she will be able to enter Nature College, one of the top ten colleges, without having to take the test. If she takes another step forward, she might even be able to pass the assessment of the four top Dao Colleges and achieve instant success.¡±


    The four top Dao Colleges were established by the five Soul Formation Patriarch who founded the immortal sect.


    Every cultivator who graduated from these colleges was a future high-ranking member of the immortal sect.


    In the past thousands of years, the success rate of the students from the four top Dao Colleges breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm had exceeded 80 percent.


    In Danxia City, a Blessed Land at the edge of the immortal sect, the last person who was admitted to the four top Dao Colleges was the red-robed Perfected One Yu Tianguang from 100 years ago. Now, he had successfully reached the Core Formation Realm.


    After leaving Old Man Ding¡¯s office, Chen Mobai waited for more than ten minutes and became the second batch of people to enter the cultivation room.


    After putting his cell phone away and turning on the video recording mode in the Auxiliary Cultivation app, he sat quietly in meditation. Then, he once again activated the Qi Nurturing Spell to temper the spiritual energy that he had increased using Spirit Pills and turned into his own.


    Time passed slowly. As usual, the Soul Suppressing Spell woke Chen Mobai up.


    When he walked out of the cultivation room, there were only a dozen unlucky people left outside.


    He looked around and saw his deskmate, Lu Hongsheng, and a few of his classmates whom he got along with. They greeted each other and went home.


    In the past, these good friends of his would even drink some spiritual tea together after school and play some games to practice their Dharma spells.


    However, after entering the third year of high school, all these entertainment activities had been canceled.


    Due to the pressure of going to college, even his deskmate Lu Hongsheng, who had always been lazy due to his poor Spiritual Root, started to work hard.


    Before Chen Mobai went home, he had bought a box of glass beads from a convenience store by the road to practice the circulation of his spiritual power.


    When he got home, he took advantage of the time he had to cook. Then, he cut some small talismans and logged into the online trading platform. He realized that there was only one cultivator from the same city bidding for the talismans.


    The cultivator had offered 18 Karma Points.


    It was a little low, but typically, Chen Mobai would definitely agreed to trade. After all, this was a product from a small individual workshop. Thus, it would be cheaper than buying from a regular shop.


    However, today, he had to explore the water mansion that the turtle shell had transported him to, so he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to do business.


    After eating and washing up, Chen Mobai returned to his room.


    He held the turtle shell in his hand and observed it carefully. Just like last night, it was an ordinary old turtle shell. It was covered in traces of being smoked and had no spiritual energy.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for yesterday¡¯s magical trip, Chen Mobai would have never believed that this thing was actually a spatial Dharma artifact.


    After placing the turtle shell in the drawer of the bedside table, Chen Mobai took out his cell phone and tapped on the app called ¡°Turtle Treasure¡±.


    After a night of exploring, he had some understanding of ¡°Turtle Treasure¡±.


    There were three functions. There was no need to further elaborate on [Return to City]. This function allowed him to return to this place.


    As for whether the city referred to his room or the place where the turtle shell was, it remained to be seen.


    The other function, [Teleport], was closely related to the [Return to City] function. Based on Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding, this was the culprit who had sent him to the mysterious water mansion yesterday.


    The last function, [Representative], was the only one he had no clue about.


    Obviously, the three functions could not be used indefinitely. Only when the virtual buttons of the three functions in the software lit up would there be a reaction when he tapped on them. Now, only [Teleport] was lit up.


    The night before, Chen Mobai had waited till three in the morning. When he realized this, he had once again used the [Teleportation] function to go to the water mansion.


    However, he still found nothing. However, after cultivating the Rank-2 spiritual energy for a night, the side effects of taking the pills had been reduced by 50 to 60 percent.


    Chen Mobai estimated that if he went into seclusion to cultivate for another two or three days in the water mansion, he would be able to get rid of the hidden dangers of breaking through after taking the pills. Then, he would be able to cultivate the Five Elements Technique again and raise his level in the Qi Refinement Realm.


    It was also because of this that Chen Mobai had the courage to return to the water mansion and even attempt to break the restrictions in the back hall.


    This was a middle-grade Rank-2 spiritual land. If one wanted to rent leyline spiritual energy of this level from the immortal sect, they would have to spend 160 Karma Points every month.


    In other words, every day that Chen Mobai cultivated in the water mansion was equivalent to earning 5.33 Karma Points for free. It was a pity that he had to work so hard to cut the talismans but only earned 20 to 30 Karma Points a month.


    With this in mind, it was no wonder that Chen Mobai had turned his nose up at his small online workshop.


    ¡°According to yesterday¡¯s two round trips, [Teleport] should have a cooldown time of six hours. Meanwhile, [Return to City] should have a longer cooldown time of ten hours. The cooldown time starts from the last time the function was used.¡±


    Chen Mobai made a mental calculation of the two trips that he had experienced the night before and came to a preliminary conclusion.


    Half an hour later, exactly 10 hours after he had teleported back, the [Return to City] button popped up and lit up in his eyes.


    This way, he could return immediately if he realized something was wrong.


    Chen Mobai immediately hung the ¡°Do Not Disturb¡± sign on his door and locked it. Then, he took a deep breath and pressed the [Teleport] button on his phone.


    [Do you wish to select Destination 1 (Unnamed)?]


    Chen Mobai selected [Yes].


    Following this, a silver light flashed and he seemed to have turned into light. After about five to six seconds, he disappeared from the room.


    He looked up.


    Looking at the familiar underwater environment, Chen Mobai suppressed the joy in his heart.


    Although he didn¡¯t know where he was, at least he had a middle-grade Rank-2 secret base.


    He took out the box of glass beads that he had prepared beforehand and poured his spiritual power into it. The originally transparent beads started to bloom with colorful lights. This was because of the combination of the five attributes and the spiritual power that Chen Mobai cultivated.


    The Five Elements Technique was a basic technique that a Soul Formation Patriarch from the immortal sect had spent 1,000 years developing. When any cultivator cultivated, the technique would automatically transform and take on a spiritual energy attribute that was most suitable for them. It was equivalent to custom-made a Qi Refinement technique for every cultivator, and it was also the most suitable for their physique and Spiritual Root.


    For example, Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Root attribute values were: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 23, Fire 17, and Earth 10.


    In that case, 23 percent of the spiritual power he would generate from cultivating the Five Elements Technique would be of the metal attribute, 27 percent of it would be of the wood attribute, and so on. It would be a perfect match for his Spiritual Root.


    Furthermore, these five elements were interlinked and could increase one¡¯s realm during cultivation. This was the reason why immortal sects were able to survive in a place like Planet Earth, where resources were scarce. It was also the reason why all the people were able to cultivate.

 Chapter 7

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    However, the Five Elements Technique was not omnipotent.


    For cultivators like Chen Mobai, whose Spiritual Root had roughly equal attribute points in all attributes, the Five Elements Technique was a supreme mystic technique. Not only was the spiritual power he cultivated suited for his physique, but his progress was also not slow.


    However, to those cultivators with superior-grade Spiritual Roots, this technique was extremely mediocre.


    For example, for cultivators with Heaven Spiritual Roots, they only needed to cultivate spiritual power of a single attribute. This way, not only would they be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort, their Dharmic power would also be pure. Furthermore, when they broke through to the next realm, there would be few bottlenecks.


    Generally speaking, every cultivator was born with a total of 100 Spiritual Root attribute points.


    Within the territory of the Blessed Lands of the immortal sect, every cultivator had to go to a tertiary hospital to undergo a precise spiritual test before they could step into the Qi Refinement Realm. They had to confirm the attributes of their Spiritual Root and have a Spiritual Root assessment report from the hospital.


    For example, Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Root attribute values were: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 23, Fire 17, and Earth 10.


    According to the rules of the immortal sect, as long as a particular attribute of a Spiritual Root was above 20, it meant that the Spiritual Root had that attribute. Chen Mobai a triple-attribute Spiritual Root with metal, wood, and water attributes. Thus, his Spiritual Root had barely been assigned the rank of a True Spiritual Root.


    This was also what made his deskmate, Lu Hongsheng, feel indignant. This was because his Spiritual Root attribute values were: Metal 8, Wood 25, Water 23, Fire 22, and Earth 22.


    In reality, he was about the same as Chen Mobai. However, because the attributes of his Spiritual Root were a little more balanced, the hospital had identified him as having a pseudo Spiritual Root with four attributes.


    As for the so-called Heaven Spiritual Root, it meant that it had more than 80 attribute points in one of the five attributes!


    This meant that even a cultivator with a Heaven Spiritual Root had attribute points in the other four attributes. It was just that very few points were allocated to the other attributes.


    As for a perfect Heaven Spiritual Root with 100 attribute points in one attribute, there had been no records of it in the immortal sect for tens of thousands of years.


    The spiritual power cultivated by the Five Elements Technique would adapt to the attributes of every cultivator¡¯s Spiritual Root. Even for a cultivator with a Heaven Spiritual Root, the spiritual power cultivated would be mixed with some of the other four attributes. It was as if there were some unnecessary impurities.


    It was the same for the other cultivators with special Spiritual Roots.


    However, all of this was not important to Chen Mobai.


    He circulated the Five Elements Technique that he had been taught in school and poured his five elemental spiritual power into the glass beads, causing the beads to emit a colorful rainbow light. It was as if a halo was floating from his palm.


    This type of glass bead was a small toy that trained one¡¯s control over one¡¯s spiritual power. One could control one at Qi Refinement Level-1. With Chen Mobai¡¯s current strength at Qi Refinement Level-5, he should be able to control five of them at the same time and cause them to float as he wished.


    However, he had just entered the Qi Refinement Level-5 and had not stabilized his realm, so he did not insist on doing so.


    Following the information from Old Man Ding, he threw the four pieces of glass toward the side hall on the right.


    There was a loud crash.


    A wave of water ripples appeared and sent the first glass bead flying. Following this, a second wave appeared. Then, the third wave sent the other glass beads flying¡­


    Chen Mobai held his cell phone and looked at the description of the three spells that Old Man Ding had given him. He frowned.


    He discovered that the water wave Restriction in this side hall actually had the characteristics of Water Shield, Wave Spell and the Scale Wave Technique at the same time. Furthermore, with his realm, if he wanted to break this compound restriction, he would have to use a powerful talisman. Otherwise, he would have to wait until he broke through to the late stages of Qi Refinement Realm before he could try.


    ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just cultivate for now. In any case, I¡¯ll have plenty of time to explore this place in the future.¡±


    Finally, Chen Mobai looked at the time and decided not to waste this middle-grade Rank-2 spiritual land. He sat in the middle of the front hall before starting to meditate and cultivate.


    He had sent his parents a text message earlier today, saying that he was going into seclusion in his room and was not to be disturbed.


    The pure water-element spiritual power turned into blue light particles and were refined by the Five Elements Technique. After the five elements circulated, they turned into a wave of spiritual power that was most suitable for Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Root and physique. It slowly circulated throughout his body, nourishing the meridians and acupoints that had been forcefully broken open by the pills.


    Although there was a lack of resources in the immortal sect, due to their operations that spanned over 10,000 years and the resources they had plundered during the war, they basically had all sorts of spiritual herbs. Furthermore, based on the leylines and the meteorology of the Blessed Land, the spiritual herbs were grown to suit local conditions and were well-cultivated.


    Alchemy was one of the four major subjects in the immortal sect. It was combined with medicine, allowing for the perfect use of medicinal herbs. It was also the foundation of the immortal sect¡¯s ability to support 300 million cultivators on Planet Earth alone.


    There were basically all sorts of pills from the immortal sect.


    However, there was one type of pill that was rarely refined, and that was the Foundation Establishment Pill.


    Although there was a collection of such ancient pill recipes in the immortal sect, they had been banned by the immortal sect 5,000 years ago. It wasn¡¯t that there was a problem with the pills, it was just that they were too wasteful.


    The Foundation Establishment Pill was an inferior-grade Rank-3 spiritual medicine, while the main ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma, was a superior-grade Rank-3 spiritual medicine. Using it to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill was simply a waste of natural resources.


    Furthermore, the Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma could be used to refine a type of elixir called the ¡°Golden Liquid Jade Elixir¡±. This type of elixir could be used to assist a Foundation Establishment cultivator in achieving the Golden Core Realm.


    If the immortal sect was rich in resources and the Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma was planted in the herb garden one batch after another to be harvested, then it wasn¡¯t impossible to use a small amount to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill while refining the ¡°Golden Liquid Jade Elixir¡±.


    However, the problem was that the immortal sect didn¡¯t have many resources. Although they had all the types of spiritual herbs, the Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma could only be grown in two caves. It wasn¡¯t even enough to refine the ¡°Golden Liquid Jade Elixir¡±, so why would they waste it to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill?


    Although the lower-class cultivators did not agree to the rules of the immortal sect, the biggest difference between the cultivation civilization and the mechanical civilization was that the upper class determined everything.


    The value of a Golden Core Perfected One was more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators. In that case, would the Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma be used to refine the ¡°Golden Liquid Jade Elixir¡± or the ¡°Foundation Establishment Pill¡±?


    The answer was obvious.


    It was also because of this that to cultivators in the immortal sect, achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm was extremely difficult.


    In the past, at least there had been Foundation Establishment Pills to look forward to. But now, 99 percent of cultivators could only rely on themselves to break through.


    This was the reason why all the cultivators from the immortal sect wanted to enter the top Dao Colleges.


    Although they would not learn how to refine Foundation Establishment Pills in the top Dao Colleges, they would be able to refine low-grade spiritual herbs that could assist them in reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm. Furthermore, there were many secret techniques that could increase the success rate of achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm. As for the experience they needed to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, there was no need to mention it. There were tens of thousands of such experiences, and they would be able to find a match.


    The Purple Fire Pill that Chen Mobai used to break through to Qi Refinement Level-5 was a pill refined by the local Crimson Afterglow College in Danxia City. They only produced 100 pills a month.


    The reason why Chen Mobai had been able to secure the right to purchase the pill was because he had once connected with a senior from the Crimson Afterglow College from selling talismans. The senior happened to be working part-time as a customer service staff in the Crimson Afterglow College¡¯s online flagship store, so he had done some internal maneuvering.


    For every type of pill, there had to be a corresponding prescription and a letter of credit.


    In the pre-ancient times of the immortal sect, there had been many cultivators who had taken pills indiscriminately, making their lives worse than death.


    In the present day, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that it was a product of a reputable pharmacy, no cultivator would dare to take a pill without an alchemist¡¯s signature and without a certificate.

 Chapter 8

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    The immortal sect had inherited many systems from the previous civilization on Planet Earth. For example, any pills that were put on the market would have to be packaged and labeled with all the ingredients of the pills.


    In other words, for every type of pill sold, the recipe had to be listed in the appendix.


    However, if one wanted to rely on the explanation in the appendix to refine the finished product, it was basically a fantasy.


    The combination of modern medicine refining techniques and pill refining techniques would take more than three days and nights to explain. Hence, although the pill recipes were all public knowledge, pill refining was still a monopolized industry.


    However, every time a university or a Dao College came up with a new type of pill, they would need to spend a huge amount of resources. Thus, they had to earn money. Otherwise, no one would be willing to invest in the pharmaceutical industry just by relying on the subsidies from the sect.


    The Purple Fire Pills of the Crimson Afterglow College were pills that were specially used to break through to the mid-stage of the Qi Refinement Realm.


    In particular, when advancing from Qi Refinement Level-4 to Qi Refinement Level-5, the success rate after consuming the Purple Fire Pill would be the highest at around 60 to 70 percent. Meanwhile, when advancing from Qi Refinement Level-5 to Qi Refinement Level-6, the success rate would be more than halved. There would only be a 20 to 30 percent chance of success.


    Furthermore, if a cultivator with a water Spiritual Root consumed it, the effect would be further halved. Meanwhile, if a cultivator with a wood or fire Spiritual Root consumed it, the success rate would be increased by another 10%.


    However, even so, the Purple Fire Pill was the most popular among pills of the same level.


    Because of its mild medicinal properties, the Crimson Afterglow College had perfected the refining process of the Purple Fire Pill for hundreds of years to the point of perfection.


    After taking the pill, one would only need to nourish their body with the Qi Nurturing Spell, which was issued to the masses by the immortal sect, for half a month and the side effects of the forced breakthrough would be resolved.


    Chen Mobai was very lucky.


    This was because the Purple Fire Pill was made using the ¡°Purple Sunflower¡± that was unique to Danxia City. It contained a trace of Yang fire and purple qi. If it was dissolved using the temperature of water spiritual energy, it would yield twice the result with half the effort.


    Meanwhile, the water mansion was built on top of a middle-grade Rank-2 water-type spiritual vein. Water spiritual energy was the most concentrated here.


    Two days later.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes in surprise.


    He could feel that his body was at his disposal and there was no longer any obstruction to his spiritual power. He was sure that his realm at Qi Refinement Level-5 had been completely stabilized.


    It took even less time than he had expected. He could only say that he had underestimated the spiritual energy from the middle-grade Rank-2 water vein.


    However, he couldn¡¯t be blamed for this. After all, he was from an ordinary family and had never cultivated in a spiritual land like the water mansion.


    He took out the box of glass beads that he had bought previously.


    One bead, two beads, three beads¡­ When the fifth bead emitted a colorful glow and slowly flew out of his palm, Chen Mobai smiled happily.


    Now, he might really be able to reach Qi Refinement Level-6 before the college entrance examination.


    He got up and stretched.


    Then, Chen Mobai started to size up the water mansion again.


    As usual, nothing had changed.


    In the past two days, he had consulted Old Man Ding again, using the excuse that his private teacher had seen his rapid improvement. Thus, his teacher increased the difficulty of his homework and created this big problem of complex restrictions.


    Old Man Ding thought that it was because he had been of great use to Chen Mobai¡¯s learning, so he couldn¡¯t help but feel comforted. After asking Chen Mobai in detail about the characteristics of the compound restriction, he combined it with his own teaching experience and gave Chen Mobai two more ways to break the restriction.


    The first method was similar to what Chen Mobai had thought. He would use a powerful restriction-breaking talisman to hit the weakest point of the restriction and break it with force.


    The second method was to break the complex restriction with a few tricks. Although the complex formation was powerful, it was a combination of multiple spells that were interlocked and extremely precise. As long as one of the spells was broken, the rest of the spells would disappear and jam even if they weren¡¯t broken.


    If the person who had set up the restriction was of an average standard, the restriction could even be destroyed by one of the Dharma spells. The remaining spells would conflict with each other and automatically disintegrate.


    Old Man Ding was a proud man and had given Chen Mobai a subsequent solution.


    He would need to use a forbidden Dharma artifact to isolate the spiritual energy supply of the underwater spiritual energy. After the compound restriction was exposed, he would use the corresponding method to break it.


    However, Chen Mobai was poor and the only Dharma artifact he had was the child¡¯s version of the Demon Vanquishing Sword that he had hung in his room. Because he had cast the Light Spell on it, it could barely be considered an inferior-grade Rank-1 ornamental Dharma artifact.


    He went to the online market of the immortal sect and took a look. He realized that the cheapest Dharma artifact that met the requirements would cost 500 Karma Points.


    Thus, he could only switch to the first method of breaking the restriction.


    Chen Mobai took out three talismans with green arrows engraved on them from his pocket. He looked pained.


    This was a middle-grade Rank-1 ¡°Green Arrow Talisman¡± that was worth 35 Karma Points each.


    After consulting with Old Man Ding for two days, Chen Mobai knew that it was best to use wood-attribute Dharma spells or talismans to break the unfamiliar water-attribute restriction.


    Using fire against water was naturally the most effective.


    However, once the power of the water attribute restriction was far beyond what he had estimated, then the violent reaction of the water and fire spiritual forces would affect the attacker. If he wasn¡¯t careful, he would die on the spot.


    On the other hand, wood also countered water. The stimulation of water attribute spiritual power was not as intense as fire attribute spiritual power. Even if the power of the restriction was extraordinary, the aftermath would not be too intense.


    The power of this ¡°Green Arrow Talisman¡± was not much different from the ¡°Water Sword Talisman¡± that Chen Mobai had taken a fancy to and placed in his shopping cart.


    After the ¡°Water Sword Talisman¡± was used, it would condense into a transparent flowing water sword. It could be gathered and dispersed at will, and it could flow at will for a maximum of 15 minutes.


    Meanwhile, after the ¡°Green Arrow Talisman¡± was used, it would condense into a number of long green arrows based on the caster¡¯s cultivation level. At most, it could release six arrows in one go.


    Chen Mobai was at Qi Refinement Level-5. After using the talisman, there would be five long arrows.


    Although it was a bit of a waste, there was no other way. This was the most suitable talisman to break the seal.


    In order to achieve this, Chen Mobai had not only used up all of his savings, but he had also taken the time to sell all the blank talismans that he had saved up during his spare time in school. Only then did he barely manage to gather enough Karma Points to buy these three Green Arrow Talismans.


    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing of value inside after breaking the restriction, I¡¯ll be at a great loss.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself as he gathered the spiritual energy in his body. He even took out his ¡°Wooden Armor Talisman¡± and infused it with some spiritual energy to activate it, in case something unexpected happened during the breaking of the restriction and he got hit by the aftermath.


    Crash!


    At this point, the sound of running water could be heard.


    As Chen Mobai widened his eyes in disbelief, he saw an opening in the sphere-shaped light shield that covered the entire water mansion. Then, two figures appeared.


    There was one young figure and one old figure.


    The old man had grey hair and held a black flag, but his eyes were shining.


    Meanwhile, the young man had an ordinary face and was wearing a brown robe. After he landed, he immediately kept a distance of two meters from the old man.


    The two of them and Chen Mobai, who was standing in the front hall, formed a triangle and looked at one another.

 Chapter 9

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°Little brother, why are you in my master¡¯s cave abode?¡±


    The old figure was the oldest among the three and also the first to recover. He raised the black flag in his hand and asked with a frown.


    When Chen Mobai heard this, he cursed in his heart and looked embarrassed.


    After all, in the immortal sect, one was not allowed to check the other party¡¯s cultivation level without the permission of the owner. Thus, he did not know their cultivation levels. However, he could sense that their spiritual power fluctuations were not much different from his.


    Furthermore, from the way the old figure and the young man had entered the cave, it was obvious that they had the correct key.


    Although he had entered the water mansion by accident, he had, after all, occupied this treasured land and cultivated for a few days. Now that he had been seen by the master¡¯s disciple, he felt a little embarrassed.


    ¡°Senior, please don¡¯t take it to heart. I entered by accident and will leave immediately.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, he suddenly saw that the two figures who had entered the water mansion were strangers to each other. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind and he stopped.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. There are no signs of the Jade Water Array being damaged. Little brother said that it was an accident, so it should be true.¡±


    The old man waved the black flag in his hand and checked the formation protecting the entire cave abode. He also confirmed that the restrictions on the three side halls were intact. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief and nodded at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I¡¯ll release the array formation now. Little brother, you can leave.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai saw that a two-meter-diameter hole had appeared in the light shield that covered the entrance of the front hall. However, the water outside did not rush in, as if it was blocked by an invisible force.


    Under the gaze of the old man and the young figure, who were obviously sending him off, Chen Mobai nodded slightly even though he was suspicious. He walked between the two of them to the entrance of the cave.


    Buzz!


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to step through the opening of the light shield, a ray of green light shot out of his tightly clenched palm like a jet of ink. It turned into a wooden armor that covered his entire body.


    Dong! Dong! Dong!


    Three long, yellowish-brown needles appeared out of nowhere. The tips of the needles carried a dark yellow glow as they pierced the wooden armor covering of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it just trespassing? How could he do such a thing? Where¡¯s the law?!¡±


    Chen Mobai turned around and saw the ordinary-looking young man holding a needle case in one hand and making hand seals with the other with a cold gaze. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be furious.


    Planet Earth, which was ruled by the immortal sect, adhered to the law of the previous civilization.


    Murder was a serious crime.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for the fact that Chen Mobai had activated the ¡°Wooden Armor Talisman¡± beforehand and activated it automatically, he would have died on the spot.


    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you attacking yet?!¡±


    When the young man in brown saw that his magic weapon had been blocked and that Chen Mobai had a murderous look on his face, he was afraid that both sides would suffer. Although he was already at Qi Refinement Level-6, he didn¡¯t want to waste too much spiritual power before breaking the restriction.


    Hence, he drew out three long needles from the box as he shouted at the old man.


    ¡°Fine, look at my divine lightning!¡±


    When the old man heard this, he shouted and his eyes flashed sharply. He waved the black flag in his hand and waved it at Chen Mobai. Then, with his other hand, he took out a blue talisman from his sleeve.


    However, this talisman was pointing at the young man in brown.


    There was a thunderous sound. Then, the brown-clothed young man shouted angrily and then forcefully reversed his spiritual power. He turned the flying needles that he was about to shoot at Chen Mobai and stabbed the old man.


    As Chen Mobai was still trying to figure out what was going on, the young man in brown was hit by the old man¡¯s divine lightning and fell down unwillingly.


    Meanwhile, his flying needles had been blocked by the power of the old man¡¯s water mansion array formation that was controlled by the black flag.


    ¡°Ding, ding, ding.¡± The flying needles fell on the floor tiles and the tip of the needles stabbed the ground. The sharpness of the needles was obvious.


    ¡°Hahaha, you¡¯re just a third-rate successor of the Flying Needle Sect and you think you can share the gains of this secret realm with me? This is the lawless Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    As the old man laughed, he waved the black flag in his hand again. He controlled the Jade Water Array in an attempt to kill Chen Mobai. However, the power of Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Wooden Armor Talisman¡± had not been exhausted and blocked the water waves that came at him.


    ¡°Where exactly is this place? The Eastern Wastelands? The 36 Grotto-Heavens and the 72 Blessed Lands don¡¯t include a place with this name.¡±


    Initially, Chen Mobai had still been immersed in the huge impact of the old man and the young man turning hostile and killing each other. However, the Wooden Armor Talisman in his palm had exhausted its spiritual power and started to burn, causing him to wake up instantly.


    He didn¡¯t know the old man¡¯s cultivation level, but the black flag in his hand was the core of this great array in the water mansion and could control the power of the entire array.


    Although the Jade Water Array was harmless, once Chen Mobai was trapped and struck by a lightning talisman like the brown-clothed youth, the outcome would be the same. He would die.


    At the critical moment of life and death, Chen Mobai did not hesitate and threw out a Green Arrow Talisman that he had prepared beforehand.


    Tsk tsk tska€|


    Five long green arrows appeared in the air like vines and rapidly covered the area where the old man was.


    ¡°Hmph, if we were outside the water mansion, I would definitely avoid you.¡±


    The old man laughed and confidently waved the black flag in his hand. The power of the Jade Water Array was activated and turned into invisible ripples, freezing the four long green arrows that had fallen in front of him in mid-air.


    ¡°Little child, how did you manage to cultivate to Qi Refinement Level-5? Your aim is so bad.¡±


    Just as the old man was about to seal the entrance with a smile and trap Chen Mobai to death, his expression suddenly froze.


    This was because he realized that the Jade Water Array was no longer under his control. Following this, he saw that the entrance of the light shield, which was about to be sealed, had stopped. However, Chen Mobai, who could have used this opportunity to escape from the water mansion array, stopped at the entrance of the cave. Instead, he took out two Green Arrow Talismans and looked at the old man coldly.


    ¡°This kid¡­ How did he know that the array flag was for protection?¡±


    The old man looked around and couldn¡¯t help but shudder.


    It turned out that Chen Mobai¡¯s Green Arrow Talisman and the four spiritual energy arrows that had been shot at him were just a decoy to attract his attention.


    Another arrow that looked like it had been shot out of alignment happened to fall on an array base not far from him, breaking an array flag that was stuck in it.


    Although the Jade Water Array was a Rank-2 array, it was completely defenseless against attacks from within the array.


    Chen Mobai, who had already figured out the layout of the water mansion, had used this point to break one of the array flags, causing the array that had been running smoothly to be stuck.


    The old man¡¯s face was ashen. He looked at the three side halls behind the water mansion, but when he felt that the talisman in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand was about to be activated, he gritted his teeth and tried to retreat.


    After all, he was only at Qi Refinement Level-3.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the black flag in his hand was the core of the Jade Water Array, he wouldn¡¯t have dared to attack the brown-clothed youth and Chen Mobai.


    However, at this point, a green light flashed across the sky. The two arrows in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands had been activated. Ten spiritual energy arrows appeared in the air and were aimed at the old man.


    ¡°Little brother, no, Senior, please have mercy¡­¡±

 Chapter 10

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    As the old man begged for mercy, he slapped the two protective talismans that he had treasured on himself.


    However, having seen how ruthless the old man had been to his companions, Chen Mobai only hesitated for a moment before he gritted his teeth and activated both of the Green Arrow Talismans. At the same time, five glass beads that were shining with colorful light rose from his back.


    ¡°Watch my Green Arrow Talisman.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of the way the old man had ambushed the young man in brown and felt that he was a cunning and evil man with a suspicious mind. Hence, he decided to trick the old man.


    On the surface, the two Green Arrow Talismans were activated at the same time. Ten spiritual energy arrows were aimed at the old man, who had a two-colored yellow and blue shield around him. Meanwhile, Chen Mobai also secretly controlled five glass beads, which emitted five-elemental spiritual energy fluctuations. It looked very dazzling, like a magic weapon.


    Indeed, the old man looked suspicious.


    After a moment of hesitation, the old man gritted his teeth. He decided to trust his many years of fighting experience and make what he felt was the correct judgment.


    He felt that Chen Mobai¡¯s two Green Arrow Talismans, which he displayed boldly, were just a cover. The real killer move should be the five dazzling beads that were overflowing with five-elemental spiritual energy.


    Finally, he activated both of his middle-grade Rank-1 defensive talismans, which he had used to protect himself, to block the ten spiritual energy arrows.


    At the same time, the old man threw out the black flag and activated the water spiritual energy could still be controlled by the Jade Water Array. It turned into waves of water and swept over, enveloping the five-colored glass beads that were flying from another direction.


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    However, who would have thought that the moment the stream of spiritual energy came into contact with the colorful beads that Chen Mobai had thrown, the beads would turn into dust like plaster powder.


    ¡°Oh no, I¡¯ve been tricked. This guy is so crafty!¡±


    Just as this thought flashed through the old man¡¯s mind, ten long green arrows that had gathered most of Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual power had already struck the two defensive talismans in front of the old man.


    The powerful impact caused the old man, who was protected by the protective shield, to involuntarily retreat step by step.


    The yellow and blue light shield was like a light bulb with insufficient electricity as it flickered.


    The old man was only at Qi Refinement Level-1. Although he was experienced in fighting and had a decent background, he wasn¡¯t supported by the power of the water mansion array and fell into the trap of empiricism. He had been tricked by Chen Mobai. Thus, the spiritual power in his dantian was almost drained by the two defensive talismans.


    However, at a time like this, even if he couldn¡¯t take it, he had to.


    The old man took out a bottle of pills to restore his spiritual power. Ignoring the waste and side effects, he swallowed all of them in one go. Then, his face turned red, but his spiritual power fluctuations suddenly increased.


    The yellow and blue light shield seemed to have received enough spiritual power and started operating at normal power.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Seven green spiritual energy arrows were blocked in succession and dissipated after exhausting their energy. Meanwhile, the yellow light shield around the old man¡¯s body also reached its limit and turned into a yellow glow that disappeared.


    However, at this point, the old man was actually delighted. After all, based on his many years of fighting experience, he had already estimated that his other water attribute defensive talisman could completely block the remaining three spiritual energy arrows.


    It wasn¡¯t as though he hadn¡¯t killed someone at Qi Refinement Level-5 as a Qi Refinement Level-3 cultivator before.


    Just as the old man was thinking of how he could retaliate and kill Chen Mobai so that he could take over the water mansion, he suddenly realized something.


    ¡°No, that¡¯s not right. This kid has been plotting against me from the start!¡±


    The old man tried to adjust his position, but it was too late. Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual power burst out and the remaining power of the Green Arrow Talismans burst out at once. Three long green arrows hit the blue light shield around the old man¡¯s body heavily, pushing him back three steps again.


    It was these three steps that caused the old man¡¯s back to touch the stone door of the side hall in the middle of the water mansion.


    Pfft!


    The dark blue lightning restriction was activated. Under the old man¡¯s desperate expression, it shattered the blue light shield that he was using most of his strength. Then, it entered his body without any obstruction and his body exploded into pieces amidst his screams.


    ¡°Huff huff huff¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai was breathing heavily, not only because he had exhausted all the spiritual power in his body, but also because this was the first time he had seen a living person die before his eyes.


    He had seen this scene countless times in movies and dramas.


    However, he had never felt such a huge impact that was hard to express in words before.


    His mind went blank.


    Although he hadn¡¯t killed either of them, he was indirectly involved.


    In a moment of dizziness, Chen Mobai fell on his butt.


    After some time, a fish that had rolled its eyes landed next to him with a splash. Chen Mobai finally snapped out of his daze.


    One of the array flags of the Jade Water Array had been broken by his Green Arrow Talisman and there were already cracks.


    The hole that had been opened by the old man seemed to be there forever now. It did not continue to seal.


    This fish had been very lucky when it was floating in the water. It had jumped into the hole and lost the protection of the water. As a result, it used all its strength to jump to Chen Mobai¡¯s side, rolled its eyes, and died.


    ¡°I have to think of a way to fix this defensive formation.¡±


    Chen Mobai mumbled to himself. He still had no idea where exactly he was.


    According to the old man, it was a place called the ¡°Eastern Wilderness¡±.


    This place was lawless.


    If anyone else were to discover this water mansion, Chen Mobai felt that it would be useless to reason with them.


    Hence, it was best to fix the Jade Water Array and hide the water mansion again.


    However, the field of array formations was the most difficult out of the four subjects. Even though Chen Mobai was quite hardworking, his results were average.


    He walked to the array flag that he had broken and tied it up with a rope, propping it up again.


    However, it was useless.


    As he sighed, Chen Mobai saw the black flag that the old man had used to crush the glass beads. With a flash of inspiration, he controlled the black flag with the Vertical Raising Spell and replaced the flag he had broken.


    After waiting for 15 minutes, there was still no response.


    Chen Mobai racked his brain, trying to recall all the knowledge he had learned in class regarding array formations.


    Finally, he recalled an example that his teacher had taught him.


    The array formation was equivalent to a sophisticated machine. If there was a problem and it needed to be repaired, it would need to be recharged with spiritual power to activate. It was equivalent to the new equipment having to be powered up and tested.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment. After all, he wasn¡¯t a professional array master and was afraid that activating this step would be dangerous.


    However, when he thought about how the middle-grade Rank-2 spiritual land in this water mansion had helped him greatly in cultivation over the past three days, he gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk.


    A surge of spiritual power was injected into the black flag.


    There was still no response.


    No, that wasn¡¯t right. The activation would have to take place at the main formation flag.


    Chen Mobai thought of another point of knowledge. He walked to the center of the front hall and poured in his spiritual energy.


    Buzz!


    Then, to his delight, the entrance of the Jade Water Array started to shrink and eventually disappeared.


    As expected, it worked.

 Chapter 11

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Seeing that the array had started working again, Chen Mobai could finally heave a sigh of relief.


    He wanted to sit down and rest, but when he saw the two bodies in the water mansion, he wasn¡¯t in the mood.


    Once he closed his eyes, he felt as if both of them had died with a grievance.


    However, Chen Mobai had no experience in dealing with corpses. He paced back and forth in the hall and saw the dead fish. He wondered if he should throw them into the water outside the array and let the fish eat them clean.


    However, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Mobai shook his head.


    Although he did not know where the Eastern Wastelands was, he had been addicted to all kinds of criminal investigation dramas since he was young. Thus, he felt that the fish here should not be so fierce that they could completely destroy the evidence.


    In order to prevent the corpses from floating to the surface and being discovered by the cultivators of the Eastern Wastelands, Chen Mobai felt that the safest way was to completely eliminate the traces of their existence in this water mansion.


    However, how should he eliminate the traces?


    Chen Mobai walked back and forth with a frown. He thought of burning the corpses with fire. However, not to mention that he did not cultivate the Firelight Technique, even if the temperature was high enough, it was impossible for an ordinary third-year student like him to burn the corpse in this sealed space.


    Finally, he walked back to the old man¡¯s torn body. He resisted his body¡¯s instinctive reaction and was about to turn away when he saw the sealed stone door of the side hall.


    ¡°Right, I can use the restriction here.¡±


    Thinking of the first time he had tested the restriction with a coin, which had been vaporized by the ghostly blue lightning, Chen Mobai felt that his idea should work.


    Without further ado, he immediately went into action.


    It was mainly because Chen Mobai really did not want to stay with the corpses anymore.


    He used the Vertical Raising Spell that he was most proficient in to pick up one of the old man¡¯s arms. Then, he threw it towards the stone door of the middle side hall.


    There was a hiss!


    As expected, without the protection of spiritual power and barrier this time, the bloodstained arm directly turned into a large bloody mist under the impact of the dark blue lightning, slightly dyeing the floor tiles red. The blood that splattered on the stone door triggered the power of the restriction again.


    Sizzlea€|


    After that, the entire water mansion was immersed in the constant flickering and flashing of lightning.


    After five trips, the old man¡¯s body was finally disposed of.


    To Chen Mobai¡¯s surprise, the restriction on the stone door of the side hall seemed to have weakened a little.


    ¡°It seems that the restrictions in the side hall are not connected to the spiritual veins in the entire water mansion. This makes it much easier to break the restrictions.¡±


    An outstanding array master would link a few important buildings to the entire spiritual vein array when setting up the protective array. This way, as long as the array was not broken and the spiritual vein did not dissipate, the power of the restrictions on the buildings would immediately recover.


    Although this Jade Water Array was not bad, it was obvious that the person who set up the array had simply bought array discs and array flags. They had copied the array without an attempt at originality.


    After Chen Mobai finished dealing with the old man¡¯s corpse, he discovered that there was a bloodstained cloth pouch on the floor tiles. With the principle of caution, he used the Vertical Raising Spell to lift the cloth pouch into the air and then poured out the contents.


    A pile of items was poured out with a crash.


    Aside from a dozen neatly cut strips of gold, there were two books, three bottles of pills, a short knife, and a change of robes.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s breathing quickened when he saw the gold. Although the value of this thing was not as good as in the previous civilized era, it was still a cultivation material in the immortal sect. Be it gold powder that had been mixed with special craftsmanship to be used for writing talismans or gold essence that was produced after refinement, there was a huge market for it.


    These dozen or so pieces of gold were roughly worth more than 800 Karma Points. If they were handled well, he could earn nearly 1,000 Karma Points.


    Chen Mobai, who had never had so much money since he was young, felt a little uneasy.


    Then, he picked up the two books and flipped through them. One should be the old man¡¯s cultivation technique, the Black Water Technique. Chen Mobai put it down after reading it. Now was not the time to study it.


    After reading the title of the other book, he could not help but breathe heavily.


    The book was called ¡°Explanations of the Jade Water Array¡±.


    This was actually the manual for the entire protective array in the water mansion. Chen Mobai originally thought that the old man was lying when he said that he was the disciple of the water mansion¡¯s master. Now that he saw this book, he felt that it might be true.


    However, this array formation book was a little thick. Chen Mobai looked at his phone. There was only an hour left before class started, so he didn¡¯t study it carefully.


    Furthermore, at that moment, another thought occurred to him. Could he take these things with him when he returned to the city?


    With this question in mind, he began to dispose of the brown-clad youth¡¯s body.


    At this moment, he had experience. First, he flipped the young man up and down with the Vertical Raising Spell. Sure enough, he found six hidden pockets in the sleeves of the brown-clothed young man.


    He found a bottle of pills, two jade-white stones, a collapsible crossbow, and a book titled ¡°Flying Needle Sect Disciple¡¯s Manual¡±.


    Then, he opened the palm-sized needle box in the brown-robed youth¡¯s hand and collected the khaki flying needles that he had shot everywhere. Satisfied, Chen Mobai took the items from the old man¡¯s cloth bag and piled them together.


    Then, after Chen Mobai finished vaporizing the corpse with the restriction at the stone door again, he used the old man¡¯s changing robe as a rag and wiped all the blood stains in the entire water mansion.


    The floor tiles in front of the door leading to the side halls were all wiped clean by using the Vertical Raising Spell to finely control the robes from a distance. Even the fish was put away.


    Everything was neat and tidy again. Chen Mobai felt a sense of accomplishment one experienced after cleaning up their house.


    He sat down in the middle of the hall, in front of the pile of spoils he had worked so hard to retrieve.


    The old man¡¯s cloth bag was also stained with some blood. Chen Mobai thought it was bad luck and it was useless. Thus, he took off his shirt and laid it on the floor tiles. Then, he put all the items he collected on it.


    In the end, he touched the two jade-white stones. A gentle and pure wave of spiritual energy rushed into the meridians in his palm like a warm current, making Chen Mobai shiver and almost shout out in pleasure.


    ¡°Thisa€| Could it bea€| A Spirit Stone!¡±


    If the previous items had only made Chen Mobai excited, then these two jade-white stones made him completely lose his composure.


    One had to know that this thing was as priceless as the gold from the previous civilization on Planet Earth.


    However, at the same time, due to the lack of resources on Planet Earth, all the Spirit Stone mines had long been explored. Apart from the war, all the Spirit Stone mines were not allowed to be mined.


    Even so, according to the latest financial report from the immortal sect, the Spirit Stone reserves on the entire Planet Earth were already in danger.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that a genius had appeared in the immortal sect 2,000 years ago and invented a strange technique that could transform dry Spirit Stones into 80% of their freshly mined and unused state by infusing them with spiritual energy, the immortal sect¡¯s Karma Points system would have completely collapsed because there weren¡¯t enough Spirit Stones to exchange for.


    However, even so, the immortal sect only allowed cultivators to go to the bank to exchange their Karma Points for Spirit Stones during the war.


    Ten thousand Karma Points could be exchanged for an inferior-grade Spirit Stone.

 Chapter 12

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Chen Mobai¡¯s parents worked hard throughout the year, but in the end, they only earned about 50,000 Karma Points.


    Meanwhile, the two Spirit Stones in his hand were equivalent to half a year¡¯s income.


    No wonder he had lost his composure.


    It was because Chen Mobai had never touched a Spirit Stone in his life. If it weren¡¯t for the detailed descriptions of Spirit Stone in textbooks and movies, he probably wouldn¡¯t have recognized it.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai felt that this water mansion might no longer be in the territory controlled by the immortal sect.


    Suppressing his trembling hands, he placed the Spirit Stones on his clothes. Then, he took out his phone and took a photo of the first thirty pages of ¡°Explanations of the Jade Water Array¡±.


    Chen Mobai was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t be able to bring these things back when he returned to the city.


    He would take a photo of the book with his phone. At least he could study the knowledge at school when the time came.


    He tied a knot in his clothes and hugged it to his chest. Then, Chen Mobai opened the ¡°Turtle Treasure¡± app on his phone and pressed the Return to City button.


    The silver light flashed for a while. Then, Chen Mobai opened his eyes and found himself sitting on the bed.


    He looked at the clock on the wall. It was exactly half an hour before class started.


    The heavy feeling on his hands made him even more excited.


    He had brought everything back!


    He opened the clothes and placed them on the floor one by one. After checking them again, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t control the excitement in his heart. He couldn¡¯t help but jump onto the bed and do a somersault.


    Fortunately, when the house was being built, a soundproof restriction had been set up. Otherwise, the noise alone would have awakened his parents.


    After venting his excitement, Chen Mobai opened his cabinet and hid the Spirit Stones, crossbows, short knives, and other items that could easily arouse suspicion into the back.


    Then, he took out his bag that he had not used for a long time and put the gold and books inside.


    Finally, all that was left was the needle case used by the young man in brown.


    Chen Mobai looked hesitant. This thing was undoubtedly a real Dharma artifact, but he did not know its grade.


    He didn¡¯t know how to use it either. Thus, the best way was to sell it online.


    However, on the immortal sect network, the transaction of second-hand artifacts required certification.


    When it came to immortal cultivation items, especially Dharma artifacts, more than 80 percent of them were secondhand goods.


    In order to ensure the order of the Dharma artifact trading market, the immortal sect issued certificates to cultivators who passed the Dharma Artifact Appraisal Assessment. They stipulated that before every Dharma artifact was traded, a treasure appraiser had to issue a confirmation letter.


    For every deal, the treasure appraiser had to re-evaluate the Dharma artifact, determine its depletion, and the number of years it could be used for.


    Of course, the official rules were one thing. The actual deal was another.


    This was especially true for Rank-1 Dharma artifacts. Some low-grade Dharma artifacts were not valuable enough to warrant hiring a treasure appraiser. Therefore, there were still some products that lacked certification circulating in the market.


    However, if an artifact wanted to be traded and sold for a good price, apprisal was an indispensable step.


    In particular, Dharma artifacts of Rank-2 and above were extremely valuable. Basically, only after a treasure appraiser took a look at them would cultivators dare to buy them.


    It was also because of this that the profession of ¡°treasure appraiser¡± had the most candidates among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.


    After buying the three Green Arrow Talismans, Chen Mobai was already poor. He did not have any extra Karma Points to hire a treasure appraiser with a qualification certificate. Therefore, he could only put this needle box aside for now. He would deal with it when he had money, or he could use it himself after fumbling around.


    However, even so, Chen Mobai still put the needle box in his bag and took it to school.


    This was the first real Dharma artifact he had in his life.


    Carrying his bag stuffed with wealth, Chen Mobai went downstairs and threw the fish into the sink. Then, he heated up two pieces of cornbread for breakfast and went straight to school.


    It happened to be the array formation teacher¡¯s turn to teach today.


    The teacher¡¯s surname was Chan. She was a young intern teacher. It was said that she was a cultivator from Danzhu College.


    Although this teacher¡¯s qualifications were the lowest in the entire Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect , Chen Mobai felt that her teaching level was the best¡­ One of the best, that was.


    If not for the fact that there was a Foundation Establishment Realm principal teaching in the school, Chen Mobai would not have called her ¡°one of the best¡±.


    It was probably because she was young and her thoughts were similar to those of the students. At least, every time she explained the array formations, she would explain the complex knowledge points simply, and her examples would be vivid.


    It was also because of this that even though Chen Mobai did not typically pay much attention to array formations, he could basically remember everything that Teacher Chan had taught him.


    Thanks to this, Chen Mobai was able to repair the Jade Water Array and reactivate it.


    Teacher Chan was good-looking and had a good figure, but she didn¡¯t smile much. She was rather. serious when teaching. Otherwise, she would be more popular.


    However, there were basically no ugly cultivators.


    After all, after cultivating for generations, their bodies had already evolved to the point of perfection. It was just that things like Spiritual Roots were arranged by the heavens and relied purely on luck. There was no way around it. However, getting a beautiful appearance would only delay a few years of Qi Refinement.


    There were even some cultivators who would deliberately go to the hospital for plastic surgery to prove their firm Dao Heart. They would make their faces extremely ugly to show that they had no other thoughts other than the Dao.


    For example, Chen Mobai had an uncle from the same family. When he was young, he was extremely handsome. When he was setting up a stall on the street, he accidentally appeared in a video that was posted online. He became an internet celebrity overnight.


    However, his cultivation heart was firm. In the face of countless film companies that came knocking on his door, he went straight to the hospital to make his face look plain and ordinary.


    Although his Spiritual Root aptitude was ordinary, he had also entered the Spiritual Pivot Academy, which was one of the 120 colleges. Now, he buried his head in the mountains every day and excavated the ruins of ancient cultivators for conservation research.


    The morning¡¯s array formation lesson passed quickly while Chen Mobai was focused on reading ¡°Explanations of the Jade Water Array¡±.


    After class, he used the same trick again. He pretended to be a step behind and entered Teacher Chan¡¯s office.


    He used the same excuse that his parents had hired a private tutor to improve his college entrance examination results. He had some after-school homework regarding the repair of array formations that he had to complete alone. However, he was really muddle-headed and could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. Thus, he could only come over to consult his teacher.


    However, Chan Si was different from Old Ding. After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words and taking the draft paper that Chen Mobai had written the grade of the Jade Water Array on, she frowned slightly.


    ¡°With your strength, would this private tutor dare to leave you with homework for a Rank-2 array formation?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a matter of restoring the array formation after repairing it. In fact, my private teacher has already taught me the entire array formation.¡±


    Chen Mobai tried to explain.


    ¡°Oh¡­¡±


    Chan Si glanced at him and smiled meaningfully, but she did not say anything. She picked up his fountain pen and prepared to answer all the questions on the draft paper to show her strength as a teacher.


    However, just as she finished looking at her completed answers, she realized that with her knowledge reserves, she actually did not know where to start.


    ¡°Eh, why is the array formation taught by your private tutor so different from the mainstream teachings of the immortal sect? It¡¯s almost two different systems.¡±

 Chapter 13

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°Ah, what difference does that make? Aren¡¯t they all the same?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s knowledge of array formations was only limited to what he learned in class. As for the Jade Water Array, he only felt that it was slightly more profound than what was usually explained in class. There was no fundamental difference.


    Why did Chan Si say that they were two different systems?


    ¡°On Planet Earth, the cultivation resources have already been nationalized. All the spiritual veins in the 36 Grotto-Heavens and 72 Blessed Lands have been condensed into one by the Soul Formation Patriarchs with a supreme Dharma treasure.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, on Planet Earth, we basically won¡¯t study array formations that require the array flags to be placed into a spiritual vein. However, this knowledge is the foundation of array formations, so as array formation teachers, we will explain it in high school classes.¡±


    ¡°However, in reality, array formations above Level-2 that can only be placed after extracting the power of a spiritual vein have already become the dust of history. The array formations supported by the immortal sect and guided by the various Dao Colleges borrow the power of natural phenomena and the sun, moon, and stars.¡±


    After Chan Si finished speaking, Chen Mobai understood that a formation like the Jade Water Array that needed to be rooted in a water spiritual vein was extremely rare in the entire immortal sect.


    It was not that the array formation was difficult, but that it was very difficult to obtain the permission of the immortal sect¡¯s Department of Land and Natural Resources to allow one to extract the power of the spiritual veins in the territory of the immortal sect and set up the array formation.


    ¡°Perhaps the private trainer my mother invited is a cultivator who has participated in developing the sea, so he¡¯s more obsessed with array formations that require water veins.¡±


    Chen Mobai forcefully explained himself. Chan Si looked at him suspiciously, but did not probe further.


    ¡°Give me your phone number.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Chen Mobai did not expect Chan Si to suddenly ask him for his number. He was a little stunned.


    ¡°I only know a little about array formations. I only filled in the gaps in my foundation after teaching in your school for the past few years. This Jade Water Array is a little beyond my ability. I need to go back and ask for guidance. Coincidentally, a senior professor in array formations came to Danzhu College for an exchange. I¡¯ll go back and ask them. Give me your phone number and we¡¯ll add each other as friends. After that, I¡¯ll immediately forward the answer to you.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not expect Chan Si to be so humble. She was clearly a teacher who taught array formations, but she actually said that she only knew a little.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Chan.¡±


    After saying that, Chen Mobai immediately took out his phone and added Chan Si as a friend.


    Just as he was about to leave, he felt a little embarrassed after thinking about it. Thus, he scanned and converted the 30 pages of ¡°Explanations of the Jade Water Array¡± that he had saved on his phone before sending it to Chan Si, saying that it was a reference sent to him by his private teacher.


    ¡°Yes, with these, I should be able to give you an answer in two days. After all, the Dao of array formations is the same.¡±


    When Chan Si saw the document sent by Chen Mobai, her eyes immediately lit up. She took out her paper and pen and began to calculate the operation of the simulated Jade Water Array, as if she planned to see if she could deduce all the mysteries of the array with her own ability.


    Seeing how immersed she was, Chen Mobai did not dare to disturb her. He retreated and closed the door for her.


    He had wanted to give Chan Si the original copy of ¡°Explanations of the Jade Water Array¡±, but when he thought that the origin of this thing might be outside the territory of the immortal sect and that it was related to evidence that he might be a murderer, he decided to be careful.


    Therefore, after much consideration, he thought that after he returned, he would scan the entire book word by word into a document and eliminate all traces of possible exposure before sending it to Chan Si.


    After leaving the office, Chen Mobai planned to go straight home.


    Now that he had a middle-grade Rank-2 vein heritage treasure land, he looked down on the school¡¯s Rank-1 spiritual energy cultivation room.


    However, on second thought, it was better not to be so conspicuous.


    The Fifth High School was a national school. The students who entered here basically came from ordinary families. Even geniuses like Song Zheng and Yan Bingxuan, who were already at the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, cherished the two hours of free time every afternoon.


    It was not that no one had given up their time to use the cultivation room in school. There were three students who were already at Qi Refinement Level-8. The peak Rank-1 spiritual energy was already a little insufficient for them. Their parents helped rent an inferior-grade Rank-2 single cultivation room outside. Thus, they left the school directly after class in the morning.


    Therefore, if Chen Mobai did not enter and use the cultivation rooms in the school, he would definitely attract attention after others knew about this.


    Qi Refinement Realm cultivators could not cultivate for more than eight hours a day. Otherwise, their meridians and dantian would not be able to withstand it. Chen Mobai did not intend to waste his time here.


    Therefore, in the cultivation room of the school, he took out the Flying Needle Sect Disciple¡¯s Manual that the brown-robed youth had dropped and flipped through it.


    It was a thin book with only 12 pages.


    It was filled with a very long introduction on the origin of the Flying Needle Sect. The founder was a disciple of the Flying Sand Sect in the Ten Directions Hall. After reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, he left the sect because he had no hope of reaching the Core Formation Realm.


    The last two or three pages were filled with stories about how the founder of the Flying Needle Sect established a 300-year foundation and shocked the world after coming to the Eastern Wastelands.


    After that, rules that prohibited betraying one¡¯s master and committing crimes were established in all major sects.


    These were all useless to Chen Mobai. Only the page about the benefits provided by the sect allowed him to roughly understand the origin of the Spirit Stones.


    After joining the Flying Needle Sect, apart from fulfilling the responsibilities in the sect, they would naturally be given Spirit Stones every year.


    Early-stage Qi Refinement disciples could receive five Spirit Stones a year, while mid-stage Qi Refinement disciples could receive ten Spirit Stones, and late-stage Qi Refinement disciples could receive 20 Spirit Stones.


    This brown-robed youth was at Qi Refinement Level-6 and was already at the peak of the mid-stage Qi Refinement Realm. How could ten Spirit Stones be enough for him to cultivate? He must have conspired with the old man to open this water mansion to earn a sum of money quickly.


    However, he did not expect that he would be plotted against and killed by the old man in the water mansion as soon as he left the sect.


    The last page was filled with the brown-clad youth¡¯s signature and the stamp of the Flying Needle Sect.


    ¡°This sect manual was issued for printing in the First Yuan Era, Year 6478.¡±


    The First Yuan Era?


    This should be the local calendar of the Eastern Wastelands!


    At this moment, Chen Mobai already had a vague answer to where the water mansion was.


    There should be a lot of Spirit Stones in this place called the Eastern Wilderness.


    If he was successful in his cultivation in the future, he had to leave the water mansion and go to the mainland to take a look.


    After reading ¡°Flying Needle Sect Disciple¡¯s Manual¡±, Chen Mobai took out the needle case and gently opened it. He wanted to try refining it.


    A total of twelve khaki-colored flying needles were neatly lined up. He injected his spiritual power into them, and they rose one by one. In the end, he used all his strength, and a total of ten flying needles combined with his spiritual power and slowly rose into the sky.


    It seemed that he could control all the flying needles at Qi Refinement Level-6.


    Chen Mobai thought to himself. He was at Qi Refinement Level-5 and could control ten of them. If he completely refined them, this would be suitable for him to use.


    However, he had never used a Dharma artifact before after all. After only three minutes, he realized that most of his spiritual power had been exhausted. He lost control of all ten flying needles, which fell to the ground.


    ¡°It¡¯s no wonder that when he used the flying needles, he always fired them in threes.¡±


    Chen Mobai recalled the scene of the brown-robed youth casting the spell and realized that he had been ridiculously wrong. Even if he could raise all 12 flying needles at Qi Refinement Level-6, he would probably need to be at least at Qi Refinement Level-7 to be able to use them as he pleased.


    After he meditated to recover his spiritual power, he tried to control three flying needles again. Although he extended the time to 15 minutes, the long khaki needles that flew were extremely stiff and did not listen to him.


    If only there was a matching refinement technique!

 Chapter 14

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    After fumbling with the use of the needle case for a while, Chen Mobai finally waited for the two hours to end.


    There was no need for the Soul Suppressing Spell to sound. He opened the door and walked out.


    Only the last unlucky ones remained outside the door.


    Chen Mobai did not see any familiar classmates, so he did not have to greet them. He picked up his bag and left the school.


    He did not go home immediately. Instead, he used his student card to take public transport to a large and comprehensive raw materials market in the east of the city.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mother worked in the talisman factory. He had been brought there to play for a few years when he was young and was very familiar with the procedures of this small factory.


    The boss was a Rank-2 talisman master who ran a talisman store in the city. In order to save money, he opened a talisman accessories factory. The large talisman paper that Chen Mobai cut was bought by his mother at an internal discount.


    Although the talisman factory was not large, it had everything. It could produce ink, paper, and inkstones. However, gold powder, a material rarely used in talisman drawing, was purchased from external sources.


    If Chen Mobai remembered correctly, the shop that supplied gold powder to the talisman accessories factory was here.


    The memories of cultivators were basically very good. Chen Mobai asked three people and accurately found the Wuji Gold Shop in the corner of the trading market.


    ¡°Hello, customer. What can I do for you?¡±


    As he walked through the door, a young cultivator behind the counter with a book in his hands immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.


    ¡°Does your shop buy gold?¡±


    Chen Mobai went straight to the point. Before he came, he had already checked the latest price of gold announced on the website of the immortal sect. Since he was here to sell gold, he planned to accept it even if he had to suffer a loss.


    However, the young cultivator did not offer a lower price. After taking the gold, he placed it on a specialized artifact to test its parameters. Then, he gave a purchase price of 843 Karma Points according to the market price.


    ¡°The quality of your gold is alright. It seems that a cultivator has refined it with spiritual power. Let¡¯s round the price up to 850 Karma Points.¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard this, he felt that this cultivator was easy to deal with. Thus, he immediately nodded.


    After the transaction, Chen Mobai suppressed his excitement when he saw the additional 850 Karma Points in his account. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw the book that the young cultivator had placed on the counter.


    [Predicted Questions for the Rank-2 Treasure Appraiser Examination]


    ¡°Could the boss be a treasure appraiser?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked curiously. As everyone knew, the certification and qualification examinations of the immortal sect progressed level by level. Since the boss was looking at the contents of the Rank-2 Treasure Appraiser Examination, he must have passed the Rank-1 Examination.


    ¡°The questions the year before were relatively simple. I barely passed.¡±


    The young cultivator spoke modestly before handing over a business card.


    [Wu Wan]


    [Wuji Gold Shop Manager]


    [Immortal Sect-Certified Rank-1 Treasure Appraiser]


    After reading the business card, Chen Mobai was filled with respect.


    In the immortal sect, most of the certificates for the Hundred Arts of Cultivation were issued by the officials only after strict selection and assessment.


    A Rank-1 treasure appraiser meant that they had already grasped most of the knowledge about appraising artifacts below Rank-1. Only then were they allowed to register for the certification examination.


    This young-looking boss in front of him could already issue an certification for all Rank-1 Dharma artifacts. Moreover, the results of the certification would be recognized by all the trading markets.


    ¡°Master Wu, I happen to have a Dharma artifact that my ancestors obtained during the war. I discovered it during the winter break when I was cleaning the old residence. Due to the passage of time, my family doesn¡¯t have much of an impression of it. Can you help me appraise it?¡±


    Then, Chen Mobai took out the needle case from his bag. Seeing this, Wu Wan¡¯s smile instantly turned serious. He first took a pair of light and disposable gloves from his cabinet and put them on before solemnly taking the needle case.


    ¡°Customer, would you like to conduct a preliminary appraisal or an in-depth appraisal of your Dharma artifact?¡±


    Wu Wan¡¯s words confused Chen Mobai. Shouldn¡¯t appraisal be done in one go?


    After knowing that he was purely an amateur, Wu Wan explained to him.


    It turned out that the appraisal of Dharma artifacts was divided into three levels.


    The first level was to look and determine the grade, materials, and refinement method of the artifact.


    The second level required the use of professional instruments to determine how long the artifact could still be used and if there were any hidden flaws.


    As for the third and final level, it tested the ability of the treasure appraiser the most. They had to create or deduce a technique that could perfectly unleash the power of the Dharma artifact that had been brought for an appraisal, while reflecting the refinement technique of the Dharma artifact.


    The fees naturally increased across the three stages of appraisal.


    ¡°However, for ordinary artifact appraisal, especially for Rank-1 Dharma artifacts, only the first level of appraisal is needed.¡±


    After Wu Wan explained, Chen Mobai finally understood what was going on.


    The price of a Rank-1 Dharma artifact was limited, but the market was the largest and the profits were meager. Other than true premium items, treasure appraisers would basically only conduct the first level of appraisal. Moreover, many shops needed a certificate from a treasure appraiser for the sole purpose of selling the items. Thus, people would not spend a lot of money to appraise such items.


    Chen Mobai asked about the price. As Wu Wan was a new treasure appraiser, he did not have many achievements and did not have enough points. Thus, his fees were relatively low.


    ¡°This artifact of yours is a middle-grade Rank-1 artifact. I¡¯ll charge you 200 Karma Points.¡±


    After touching it, Wu Wan had a rough idea of the grade of the needle case and gave Chen Mobai a price that made his heart ache.


    That was enough to buy six Green Arrow Talismans.


    However, when he thought of the image of him controlling the flying needles and the danger of the Eastern Wastelands where the water mansion was located, Chen Mobai gritted his teeth and agreed.


    After the price was agreed on, Wu Wan took the needle case and placed it on a workbench in the corner of the shop. Then, he began the appraisal with his professional knowledge.


    He first measured the strength of the spiritual power in the needle case and confirmed its grade.


    ¡°The refinement method is a little unorthodox, but based on the overall spiritual power fluctuations and materials, it can¡¯t be wrong to determine it as a middle-grade Rank-1 Dharma artifact.¡±


    Wu Wan took out another piece of A4-sized immortal sect standard certification paper. Then, he filled in the ¡°Grade¡± and ¡°Material¡± blanks with his judgment.


    ¡°The needle case was chiseled out of a whole block of magnetite. If you want to know the exact type of the magnet and its place of origin, a second level of appraisal is required.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately shook his head. There was no need.


    ¡°The flying needles should be made of a mixture of several metals that are very sensitive to magnetic reactions. Even if you want to perform a second level of appraisal, I can¡¯t do anything about it because I need the help of professional instruments.¡±


    ¡°This Dharma artifact is quite ingenious. It doesn¡¯t require much spiritual power.¡±


    ¡°The key to control and manage the flying needles is this needle box. As long as you can skillfully control the magnetic force, you can easily control the flying needles.¡±


    Wu Wan was indeed a professional treasure appraiser. He did not inject any spiritual power into it. He only relied on his knowledge to explain most of the refining methods and tricks of using this needle case.


    When Chen Mobai thought about how he had completely overlooked this needle case in the cultivation room at school and only used it as a storage device. He even kept infusing spiritual power into the flying needle. As a result, he couldn¡¯t help but feel ashamed.


    No wonder he only controlled it for three minutes before his spiritual power was exhausted. He thought that it was because his cultivation level was insufficient.


    It turned out that he used the wrong method. It was no wonder he only achieved half of the results with twice the effort.

 Chapter 15

    ¡°Customer, if the information is correct, I¡¯m going to add my practitioner¡¯s seal.¡±


    In the shop, after passing the certificate with the information about the owner of the Dharma artifact to Chen Mobai for confirmation, Wu Wan solemnly opened a safe and took out a red seal. It did not need to be inked and he simply pressed it on the certificate. Then, the bright red and oval seal of a Rank-1 treasure appraiser appeared on it.


    The innermost part of the seal contained the words ¡°Wu Wan¡± in calligraphy script. The upper semicircle was made of the words ¡°Rank-1 Treasure Appraiser¡±, while the bottom semicircle contained a series of numbers.


    ¡°This string of numbers if a random anti-counterfeiting code generated every time I affix the seal. After I take a photo of this certificate and register it on the immortal sect network, anyone who enters this string of numbers will see this certificate.¡±


    After Chen Mobai took the needle case and the certificate, he first used his phone to check, but found that the page that popped up was blank. He could not help but look puzzled.


    ¡°Why hasn¡¯t it been uploaded?¡±


    Wu Wan didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry, but then he used his account to log into the treasure appraiser¡¯s electronic archive on the immortal sect network and uploaded the certificate for the needle case.


    Chen Mobai tried again and the relevant page finally appeared.


    ¡°Master Wu, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    After paying 200 Karma Points in satisfaction, Chen Mobai took the needle case.


    ¡°Little Chen, if you want to sell this Dharma artifact, you can display it in my shop. It can also be considered as helping me accumulate some points. If you agree, not only can I return your Karma Points, but I can also help you complete deducing the sacrificial technique for this Dharma artifact for free.¡±


    When Wu Wan was filling in the information about the owner of the Dharma artifact just now, Wu Wan learned Chen Mobai¡¯s name. He knew that Chen Mobai was still a student and was only 18 years old who did not have much social experience. Thus, Wu Wan suddenly had an idea.


    Due to the lack of resources in the immortal sect, almost everyone would be troubled by spiritual energy and resources after stepping onto the path of cultivation. Many of them would rely on the immortal sect¡¯s network to open their own online shops and earn money.


    Although Wu Wan had obtained a Rank-1 Treasure Appraiser certificate and was considered famous among Qi Refinement cultivators, he was still working hard to obtain the resources needed to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Apart from this family shop, he also refined weapons by himself on typical days.


    After all, a treasure appraiser could not make a fortune. Moreover, every cultivator who learned about appraisal definitely wanted to become a refiner at the beginning.


    As for the individual shops on the immortal sect network, they relied on the Karma Points circulated during trades to accumulate points. The more points they had, the more official mystic techniques, Spirit Pills, and Dharma artifacts they could exchange for.


    The immortal sect controlled Planet Earth and followed the order of the previous civilization. Although the Soul Formation Patriarchs suppressed the world, there were still several economic crises.


    The main reason was that there were not enough Spirit Stones. During the war, as soon as the cultivators had Karma Points in their accounts, they would immediately go to the bank to exchange them for Spirit Stones. Even if they could not use them all, they still saved them for future generations.


    In this way, no matter how many Spirit Stones the National Bank had, it would not be able to withstand the plundering of hundreds of millions of cultivators.


    Thus, the economic crisis came.


    Although the immortal sect had issued laws one after another that prohibited the exchange of Spirit Stones, raised the exchange price, and even thought of a secret technique to replenish dried-up Soul Formation with spiritual energy, even the Soul Formation Patriarchs with extraordinary power could not eliminate the rules of the market.


    However, the Three Palaces and Four Divisions under the immortal sect had gathered countless geniuses on Planet Earth for thousands of years. There were countless intelligent people.


    A thousand years ago, someone suggested that the 84,000 Daoist books stored in the National Library of the immortal sect could be exchanged for by all cultivators with points. Furthermore, these points could only be obtained by spending Karma Points on the market of the Immortal Sect.


    For example, Chen Mobai had bought three Green Arrow Talismans online and spent 105 Karma Points. As a result, 105 points were added to his personal household register.


    As soon as this policy was announced, the originally stagnant market economy of the immortal sects instantly became popular. In just ten years, 90% of the Spirit Stones stored by the people returned to the National Bank and were replaced by the Karma Points on everyone¡¯s accounts.


    One could also obtain points through offline transactions, but both parties had to pay taxes to the Tax Bureau of the immortal sect.


    For example, if Chen Mobai wanted to convert the 200 Karma Points of appraisal fees he had paid to Wu Wan into points, he had to pay the immortal sect 20% in consumption taxes. In fact, this 20% represented 10% of taxes from each party. However, the person who received money would definitely be unwilling to do such a thing. Unless Chen Mobai offered another 20 Karma Points to Wu Wan, Wu Wan would not agree to go to the Tax Bureau with Chen Mobai.


    After all, one could only obtain points through consumption. One would not receive points for collecting money.


    Therefore, in the markets of the immortal sect, traders would confirm if the consumers needed points before the trade. If they did, this tax would be added to the total price in advance.


    It was precisely because of this that the immortal sect did not insist on taxes. It was completely voluntary.


    However, Chen Mobai was clearly not that kind of person.


    After all, he didn¡¯t need points yet.


    ¡°Master Wu, what do you mean? I don¡¯t understand.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt a little strange. One would only receive points if they spent money. Even if he sold this Dharma artifact in Wu Wan¡¯s shop, it would have nothing to do with him, right?


    ¡°I¡¯m a treasure appraiser. It¡¯s normal for me to earn money on my own. If you sell this artifact to me and I use my professional knowledge to complete the sacrificial technique of the needle case, its price will naturally double. Am I right?¡±


    After Wu Wan finished speaking with a smile, Chen Mobai shivered and felt a chill down his spine.


    ¡°Master Wu, that would be a fictitious transaction. It¡¯s illegal.¡±


    Fictitious transactions were common. Although they had to pay taxes to the immortal sects, they could obtain two transactions¡¯ worth of points from one Dharma artifact.


    In the official flagship store on the immortal sect¡¯s website, spiritual pills and elixirs that could increase the success rate of achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm would be released every once in a while to be auctioned. They also had to be exchanged with points.


    Wu Wan had already been planning for this for a long time.


    However, this behavior was the same as tax evasion in the previous mechanical civilization on Planet Earth. After being caught, the immortal sect would punish cultivators until they were bankrupt.


    ¡°Many people do. The immortal sect turns a blind eye to this for the sake of economic circulation. If the taxes are low at the end of the year and the higher-ups aren¡¯t satisfied, they¡¯ll only attack those rich people at the top. You can rest assured.¡±


    ¡°If you agree, I guarantee that this needle case of yours can be sold for more than 80,000 Karma Points.¡±


    Seeing that Chen Mobai was a little hesitant, Wu Wan increased the weight of the matter. Although he looked young, he was already 45 years old. If he didn¡¯t try to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, his chances of success would become smaller and smaller.


    Next month, the flagship store of the immortal sect would release a batch of Meridian Protection Pills, Spirit Ascension Powder, and Qi Condensation Liquid. They were all spiritual herbs that increased the chances of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Wu Wan was still short of 300,000 points. Otherwise, he would be able to buy one of the items.


    If it were any other time, he would naturally not dare to make up a deal to cheat points. However, now that the Great Dao was right in front of him and he was a little short on points, he wanted to try any opportunity to obtain points.


    What if he was lucky and succeeded in reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm!


    ¡°This Dharma artifact is a family heirloom. If I want to sell it, I¡¯ll have to ask the elders in the family.¡±


    Chen Mobai was a good student, so he tactfully refused.


    Wu Wan did not say anything else and only looked regretful. In any case, he just wanted to see if he could deceive Chen Mobai since he was young.

 Chapter 16

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°People are vicious.¡±


    After walking out of the Wuji Gold Shop, Chen Mobai sighed inwardly.


    It was no wonder that many cultivators would rather go to large branded shops at a higher price. At the very least, they would not be pulled onto the illegal path just because the owner saw a customer.


    Although it was common for fictitious transactions to be carried out in exchange for points, it was only done between acquaintances. It meant that both parties had information that could be used against the other party. However, Chen Mobai and Wu Wan had only done business once. Thus, there was not even a little bit of trust between them.


    Chen Mobai was still young. According to his current cultivation progress and the Rank-2 spiritual land at the water mansion, he would definitely be able to achieve perfection in the Qi Refinement Realm and break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. He had not reached the stage of taking risks yet.


    After this transaction, Chen Mobai, who had originally wanted to shop around, was no longer in the mood.


    After taking public transport home, since he had a huge sum of money, he decided to treat himself. He didn¡¯t cut any more talismans or even cook anymore. Instead, he ordered spicy hot pot.


    While waiting for the delivery, Chen Mobai scanned the entire ¡°Explanations of the Jade Water Array¡± and sent it to Teacher Chan. Then, he took out the book on the Black Water Technique and started reading.


    This was a typical water-attribute Qi Refinement technique. There were a total of nine levels, and it could be cultivated until one achieved pefection in the Qi Refinement Realm. Moreover, three spells recorded were also recorded in the book.


    They were the Water Control Spell, the Water Essence Barrier, and the Ice Spell.


    The three spells advanced step by step. The Water Control Spell was the simplest, but it took a lot of time to master.


    After mastering the Water Control Spell, one could control refined spiritual water and transform it into a water elemental barrier to protect themselves. It was also a spell that replaced defensive Dharma artifacts and was more popular among low-leveled cultivators.


    Meanwhile, the final spell, the Ice Spell, was the most difficult.


    According to the description in ¡°Black Water Technique¡±, he had to first condense his spiritual power into a breath of ice. Then, he had to combine it with the Water Control Spell to freeze the refined spiritual water and transform it into any form he wanted, be it for attack or defense.


    Although this cultivation technique was simple, it had already formed its own system. Moreover, when practicing the three spells, it could also promote improvement in the Qi Refinement Realm.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad. If not for the fact that my Spiritual Root only has 23 water attribute points, I would have immediately changed my cultivation.¡±


    Several large hospitals in the immortal sect had joined forces to do experiments. If a Spiritual Root exceeded 33 attribute points in an attribute, the efficiency of cultivating the Five Elements Technique would be inferior to that single-attribute Qi refinement technique.


    As for people like Chen Mobai, whose Spiritual Root was almost classified as a pseudo-Spiritual Root, be it his cultivation progress or the efficiency of refining spiritual energy, the Five Elements Techniques was still the most suitable.


    To Chen Mobai, other than being a reference book, the greatest value of the ¡°Black Water Technique¡± book was the three spells recorded in it.


    Although the knowledge in the immortal sect was shared, one had to exchange points for this knowledge.


    Moreover, before exchanging for spells from the immortal sects, they had to swear that they could only cultivate the spells and not teach others.


    Only schools could openly teach spells.


    The Vertical Raising Spell, the Cleaning Spell, the Qi Nurturing Spell that Chen Mobai knew were taught in school. However, most of the students had been instilled with the concept that cultivation was paramount since they were young. The spells that they were passionate about cultivating were also limited to providing convenience in their daily lives.


    After all, Planet Earth was too peaceful. There were many cases of petty theft and tax evasion, but it had been a long time since anyone had killed someone.


    Only when the war was approaching would cultivators begin to cultivate the spells used in combat.


    In peaceful times, the students in school were all focused on cultivating Qi and improving their realms. They wanted to achieve perfection in the Qi Refinement Realm as soon as possible and break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Just as Chen Mobai was comparing the Water Elemental Barrier with the Water Shield technique Old Ding had given him, the doorbell rang.


    His delivery arrived.


    Chen Mobai entered the kitchen and poured the spicy hot pot into a bowl at home. Just as he was about to scoop a bowl of spiritual rice and start eating, he suddenly saw a fish in the sink that had been gutted but was still a little familiar.


    Eh, wasn¡¯t this the fish he¡¯d brought from the water mansion? He¡¯d left in a hurry this morning and had thrown it in the sink after dealing with his loot.


    Initially, he thought that it would not be a waste to make a bowl of boiled fish when he returned at night. However, after earning a sum from selling gold, Chen Mobai forgot about it.


    His mother must have dealt with the fish before she left.


    With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai looked at the transparent fish meat that contained a faint pinkish-white color. He raised his hand and cut the fish into pieces. Then, he started a fire and poured his spicy hot pot into the pot. He used it as the soup base and poured the fish into the pot.


    The moment the tender and spicy fish entered his mouth, Chen Mobai narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.


    After eating, he didn¡¯t waste any time and teleported directly to the water mansion.


    He first circled around the water mansion and realized that nothing had changed since he left. Only then did he walk under the array flags in peace. He sat on the meditation cushion he had brought and began to refine the dense spiritual energy of the Rank-2 water vein¡­


    The next day.


    During class, Chen Mobai looked at his phone screen with a strange expression.


    He had a habit. Every time he cultivated, he would start a recording on his phone and import it into a software called ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡±. He would compare it with the previous cultivation videos to find the difference between the videos, correct his mistakes, and inherit the advantages.


    As for this ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app, a pop-up had not appeared for half a year. This meant that be it his cultivation time or posture, it was already the most suitable. There was no room for improvement.


    However, this morning, a pop-up window had suddenly appeared.


    [Among the spiritual power cultivated by the user last night, there are two more water attribute points than usual. Please confirm the reason.]


    The Auxiliary Cultivation app displayed the difference, but it did not analyze the reason. This required the user to find the reason themselves and then give feedback.


    Chen Mobai recalled his cultivation yesterday. It was exactly the same as his previous visit to the water mansion. He didn¡¯t even change locations. He had always been cultivating on the mediation cushion.


    Since he couldn¡¯t figure it out, he could only experiment more.


    On this day, Chen Mobai turned on the recording again. After cultivating in the water mansion for an entire night, he had improved in the Five Elements Technique again.


    [Among the spiritual power cultivated by the user last night, there are two more water attribute points than usual. Please confirm the reason.]


    The pop-up appeared again.


    Chen Mobai confirmed that there was definitely something different about him the day before yesterday. The ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app was developed by the Butian Dao College of the four major Dao Colleges. After hundreds of years of adjustment, it was already very perfect.


    The software couldn¡¯t be wrong. So what was wrong with him?


    Lost in thought, Chen Mobai began to recall all his experiences the day before yesterday.


    He had attended classes, sought consultation with his teachers, went to the cultivation room to read and test the needle case, and sold gold¡­


    Thinking of the Wuji Gold Shop, Chen Mobai frowned slightly. However, he confirmed that he had never had physical contact with Wu Wan. It was just a conversation and a business deal.


    His memory went back again. He ordered takeout, ate, returned to the water mansion to cultivate, and returned to class!


    A complete cycle appeared in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind. He thought about how different he was from usual that day, and how that could affect the adaptive spiritual power cultivated by the Five Elements Technique. Then, the most likely possibility was that there was a difference in the attribute points of his Spiritual Root.


    Was it the takeout!?


    Chen Mobai thought of this thing that he had eaten. It might have affected his Spiritual Root, but it shouldn¡¯t be the case. He had secretly ordered takeout several times in the past, but he had never seen a pop-up from the Auxiliary Cultivation app.


    Could it be¡­ that there was something wrong with that fish?

 Chapter 17

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    After class.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t fall any further behind. Relying on the fact that his realm had been consolidated, he increased his speed and snatched the first batch of cultivation rooms.


    He had to go to the water mansion as soon as possible to verify if it was because of that fish that caused ripples in his peaceful cultivation.


    He didn¡¯t waste the two hours he had spent in the cultivation room. He seriously read the email that Chan Si had sent him.


    With the complete content of the ¡°Explanations of the Jade Water Array¡±, his array formation teacher did not disappoint him. After Chan Si understood the array thoroughly, she made a very detailed disassembly of the array formation. She started from the five basic array formations of this Rank-2 array formation, from gathering energy and concealment, to its complexity and water control¡­


    As Chen Mobai had personally experienced the Jade Water Array, it was very easy for him to understand the content.


    He compared his exploration and experience of the array flags in the past two days to the extremely detailed explanation in the course materials. Then, he instantly had a preliminary understanding of this Rank-2 array formation.


    Two hours passed very quickly.


    The alarm rang, waking Chen Mobai, who was immersed in his studies.


    ¡°Teacher Chan can speak very beautifully.¡±


    As he muttered to himself, Chen Mobai thought of Chan Si¡¯s typically boring lecture in class. He did not realize that it was because he was not interested in what was taught in class.


    People were like that. Even monks had to stay up all night to find out what interested them, let alone cultivators.


    After getting up and leaving the cultivation room, Chen Mobai stretched and looked around. Suddenly, he froze on the spot.


    Somehow, he was extremely lucky.


    Yan Bingxuan came out of the cultivation room on the left.


    After not seeing her for a few days, the class belle¡¯s temperament seemed to have become even colder. She must have officially cultivated the ¡°Frost Condensation Technique¡± and started to transform her Spiritual Root into an ice-attribute Spiritual Root.


    Meanwhile, the person in the cultivation room on Chen Mobai¡¯s right was the other genius in their class, Song Zheng.


    He probably didn¡¯t manage to join the first batch of students to use the Rank-2 cultivation rooms today, so he came to the Rank-1 cultivation rooms to deal with his cultivation for now.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Since Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t in the same social circle as the two of them, he didn¡¯t know how to greet them.


    After a moment of awkward silence, it was Song Zheng who spoke first.


    ¡°Yan Bingxuan, I still think that your choice is wrong. With your aptitude, if you focus on improving your realm and studies during this semester, you can at least take the entrance examination of the four Dao Colleges. You might even be able to pass the competitive examination and soar to fame.¡±


    However, Song Zheng simply ignored Chen Mobai and spoke to Yan Bingxuan calmly.


    ¡°How can you speak of ice to summertime bugs!¡±


    In response, the cold beauty Yan Bingxuan said something that made Song Zheng frown. As a result, he almost couldn¡¯t help but get angry.


    ¡°I obtained Teacher Ding¡¯s inheritance and also have a method to transform my Spiritual Root physique into a Three-Yang Body. However, I feel that with my limits, I shouldn¡¯t go to the Pure Yang Academy. The four Dao Colleges are the only places I should go to.¡±


    Song Zheng¡¯s words silenced Chen Mobai.


    This man was so confident.


    If Chen Mobai could get into the Pure Yang Academy, one of the top ten schools, his mother would visit their neighbors every day and brag about this matter for the rest of her life.


    Song Zheng was so confident that his eyes were about to shine. When faced with such a person, the beauty Yan Bingxuan, who was a woman of few words, said an idiom.


    ¡°You¡¯re like a frog in a well!¡±


    Song Zheng could no longer control his anger.


    Chen Mobai looked at the time and didn¡¯t greet the two of them, who ignored him. Instead, he walked out from between the two of them.


    ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. I bet the two of them are going to the stadium to sort it out.¡±


    However, before Chen Mobai could leave, he was stopped by his deskmate, Lu Hongsheng. Soon, a group of classmates gathered around the two of them. Everyone looked at Song Zheng, who was clenching his fists and requesting a spell exchange from Yan Bingxuan.


    In school, fighting was naturally not allowed.


    However, the exchange of Dharma spells was encouraged.


    Furthermore, between top students, they often used this as an excuse to prove that they were the strongest.


    ¡°I have something to do today, so I¡¯ll leave. Tell me the results of their fight later.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai also wanted to see the exchange between the only two top late-stage Qi Refinement Realm students in the class, after thinking about his arrangements tonight, he decided not to waste his precious time watching them.


    Meanwhile, Lu Hongsheng¡¯s attention was completely focused on the two top students. Thus, he responded nonchalantly. By the time he reacted, Chen Mobai had already disappeared.


    ¡°The lad¡¯s been a bit odd lately.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. He¡¯s the fastest to run after cultivating.¡±


    ¡°Could he be dating someone?¡±


    The words of the two beauties who sat at the front made Lu Hongsheng shudder suddenly. He realized that this might actually be the case.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Beauty Yan has agreed.¡±


    However, before they could investigate further, Yan Bingxuan had already turned around and walked towards the stadium with a sneer.


    In order to avoid destroying the venue, the exchange of Dharma spells had to be carried out in a place where the school had set up restrictions.


    This place was the stadium.


    After Chen Mobai ran out of the school, he immediately put such a small matter to the back of his mind.


    On the way home, he saw a pharmacy and went inside.


    The pharmacy wasn¡¯t large, but it was relatively well stocked. Strangely, there was no one behind the counter.


    Chen Mobai could only walk around and look for what he wanted to buy.


    ¡°Hello, is anyone there?¡±


    However, after searching around, he did not find the test paper that could easily measure his spiritual power. Thus, Chen Mobai shouted in the direction of the back door.


    ¡°Coming!¡±


    There was a sharp response. Then, the back door was pulled open. A young girl in white clothes and white pants, with her hair tied up and wearing a white hat and mask, walked over. Although only half her face could be seen, their eyes met and Chen Mobai was drawn to her dark, bright eyes that were charming and intelligent.


    Chen Mobai had never seen such a clear and pure gaze. It was as pure and flawless as her clothes.


    ¡°Hello, customer. May I help you?¡±


    ¡°Where¡¯s the spiritual power test paper? I couldn¡¯t find it.¡±


    ¡°Just a minute. This item is in the cabinets. I¡¯ll take it out for you.¡±


    The white-clothed girl¡¯s eyebrows were also extremely delicate. Her skin was snow-white, and she was wearing a mask that increased how attractive she was. Chen Mobai could not help but take a few more glances at her when he spoke.


    After the exchange, the white-clothed girl turned around and walked towards the counter at the door. Her back was slender, but the faint medicinal fragrance wafting from her body made Chen Mobai frown. He raised his finger to cover his nose.


    He had been seriously ill when he was young and had taken medicine for a few years, so he did not like the smell of medicine very much.


    ¡°How many would you like?¡±


    The girl in white walked over with a box of opened spiritual power test papers. At that moment, she noticed Chen Mobai¡¯s right index finger covering his nose. Her dark and bright eyes froze.


    ¡°Five will do. Thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai reached out with his other hand and took five pieces from the box the girl was holding. Then, he quickly walked to the door and scanned the code to pay.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was refining the ¡®Spirit Returning Water¡¯ at the back. My extraction standards weren¡¯t good enough, so the smell of medicine on me was stronger.¡±


    The girl¡¯s words sounded from behind. Chen Mobai turned around and saw that she was standing where she was, not following him. Her eyes were apologetic.


    ¡°Oh, are you an alchemist?¡±


    The immortal sect stipulated that only those who passed the Alchemist Vocation Certification Examination could refine medicine.


    There were many ways to refine pills, but on Planet Earth, the most common way was to refine pills using water.


    This was because fire-based alchemy would dissipate a portion of the spiritual energy in the medicinal herbs, making it a little wasteful. On the other hand, water-based alchemy emphasized on extraction. The utilization rate was high, and the medicinal properties were gentle. Not only were most medicinal liquids effective after consumption or injection, there were basically no residual effects either.


    The ¡°Spirit Returning Water¡± was a Rank-one medicinal liquid that could be taken orally. It could recover the spiritual energy of Qi Refinement Realm cultivators.

 Chapter 18

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ¡°My teacher is an alchemist. I don¡¯t have a certificate yet because I¡¯m not old enough.¡±


    The girl in white responded. Not every cultivator could apply for a certificate for the Hundred Arts of Cultivation. In order to screen applicants and reduce the workload every year, the immortal sect had set restrictions on age, profession, and so on.


    For example, a high school student like Chen Mobai did not fulfill the first condition as he was not old enough.


    The girl in white also didn¡¯t qualify for the same reason.


    The only disadvantage of water alchemy was that it took a long time. It was very difficult for an alchemist to keep an eye on it from beginning to end and participate the entire time.


    Therefore, although the immortal sect stipulated that only alchemists could refine medicine, it was tacitly agreed in the industry that apprentices could help deal with some simple supplementary medicines.


    Chen Mobai felt that the young girl in white in front of him should be an intern apothecary.


    He thought of the method to refine spiritual water recorded in the ¡°Black Water Technique¡±. He still didn¡¯t have any clue and wanted to ask for guidance, but it wasn¡¯t appropriate to ask for no reason.


    ¡°Farewell.¡±


    Finally, Chen Mobai said two words and turned to leave the pharmacy.


    ¡°What a strange person.¡±


    Qing N¨¹ sensed that Chen Mobai had something to ask, but for some reason, he didn¡¯t say it in the end.


    As the young man disappeared around the corner, she shook her head and turned back to the back hall to extract the herbs.


    ¡­


    At the water mansion.


    Chen Mobai pulled out the black array flag somewhat nervously. The huge hemispherical light shield above his head began to fluctuate slightly.


    He immediately injected his spiritual power into the array flags according to the Qi Circulation Spell mentioned in Chan Si¡¯s lesson. Then, he formed a seal with his other hand and made two simple movements.


    Crash!


    Soon, a two-meter-diameter hole appeared in the huge, round, flawless light barrier where the black flag pointed.


    Chen Mobai suppressed the excitement in his heart. After inserting the array flag again, he walked to the entrance of the array formation that he had opened.


    He reached out. With a slight tremble, he extended the range of the light shield and touched the water outside.


    It was cool and felt like silk.


    After playing with the water and confirming that there was no danger outside, Chen Mobai began to lean half his body out.


    As he had never cultivated any waterproof Dharma spells, he could only rely on his deep breathing to hold on.


    However, even so, he saw a little of the scenery beyond the water mansion.


    It was a lake of an unknown size. At least, he couldn¡¯t see the edge of it at first glance. There was a kind of aquatic plant growing at the bottom of the lake that glowed with blue fluorescent light. It stood out in the gloomy environment.


    Among the aquatic plants, there was a green-tailed carp frolicking back and forth.


    Chen Mobai confirmed that it was the kind of fish he had eaten.


    He raised the needle case in his hand and circulated the Five Elements Technique. He injected spiritual power into the needle case, and a golden stream of light shot out.


    Although his usage of this Dharma artifact was still a little stiff, under Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual power, the flying needle flew in a straight line. Without using any technique, the flying needle directly pierced through the green carp that could not escape in time.


    Seeing that he had successfully caught the fish, Chen Mobai raised his other hand. Two glass beads were injected with the spiritual power he had cultivated using the Five Elements Techniques. They flew out like two colorful rainbows and caught the green carp that was slowly descending after its death.


    After retrieving the food and flying needles, Chen Mobai pulled out the black flag again and sealed the entrance of the Jade Water Array.


    He first carefully observed the green carp in his hand and discovered that there was a dark green line on its back that resembled a tendon. There were also two long whiskers at the mouth of the fish. It was cold to the touch, as if he was holding an ice cube.


    ¡°Why is this carp similar to the Level-2 protective spiritual beast in the immortal sect, the Green Dragon Carp?¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself. The source of the Green Dragon Carp¡¯s bloodline was a green dragon in the deep sea. It was captured by the immortal sect after much difficulty when they explored the sea.


    It was said that after the Green Dragon Carp was cooked with a special method, cultivators could absorb a trace of water dragon qi contained in its flesh and blood. Then, they would experience a random increase of one to five water attribute points in their Spiritual Root.


    However, the Green Dragon Carp of the immortal sect could only be raised by the Kunpeng Dao College. It was regarded as a taboo by the Venerable Nascent Soul. Twenty years ago, this Venerable had even placed the wild Green Dragon Carp on the latest list of protected spiritual beasts of the immortal sect. It was already forbidden for cultivators to kill and cook it.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment. In the end, he could not resist the temptation and took out the short knife he had obtained from the old man.


    According to the rules of the immortal sect, wild Green Dragon Carp were protected spiritual beasts, while bred Green Dragon Carp could be eaten.


    Although this green carp was a little similar to the Green Dragon Carp, there were still some differences. This fish did not have much spiritual energy and was raised outside the water mansion. Thus, it could be considered a bred fish.


    He scaled, disemboweled, gutted, and sliced the fish. Chen Mobai¡¯s movements were very skilled and smooth.


    This short knife was not a Dharma artifact, but it was extremely sharp. He had tried using it to cut gold before. It was as easy as cutting tofu. Thus, it was a little overkill to use it to slice fish.


    This time he intended to eat it cold. He even brought ice and condiments from home.


    However, the fish meat was ice-cold, so he could skip the process of freezing it.


    Chen Mobai even brought a can of carbonated drink. If he had a goblet, the ritual would be complete.


    Unfortunately, he was the only one eating.


    With a tinge of regret, the cold and smooth fish meat entered his mouth. Coupled with the old vinegar that he had bought online from the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, an indescribable feeling of numbness and comfort bloomed in his taste buds.


    When the fish entered his stomach, a cooling aura surged throughout his body, causing Chen Mobai to shiver. Then, his entire body felt comfortable, as if he had taken a cold shower on a hot day. It was satisfying and refreshing.


    After eating, Chen Mobai burped. The first thought that came to his mind was that it was truly a waste to cook that fish.


    Of course, he hadn¡¯t forgotten his business.


    After using the Cleaning Spell to clean up, he sat on the meditation cushion and circulated the Five Elements Technique.


    Before the adapted spiritual power that he had cultivated could return to his dantian, Chen Mobai intercepted a strand of the spiritual power and injected it into the spiritual power test paper that he had just bought.


    This was a simple tool for measuring one¡¯s Spiritual Root, but it was only used by cultivators of the Five Elements Technique.


    Everyone in the immortal sect was a cultivator. Basically, every child was taught Qi Refinement and Immortal Cultivation techniques from a young age. In order to be able to measure Spiritual Roots more simply and quickly, the Imperial Medicine Palace invented this spiritual power test paper.


    As soon as Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual power was absorbed by the test paper, it was instantly dyed in five colors. Then, a string of numbers appeared on the paper according to the ratio of the five elements.


    [Gold 23, Wood 27, Water 25, Fire 17, and Earth 10.]


    As expected, there was an increase of two water attribute points.


    Chen Mobai confirmed this point. The next step was to do more experiments.


    He suppressed the fire in his heart and stood up to activate the Jade Water Array again.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Streaks of golden light lit up outside the water mansion. Then, the green carps that were eating the aquatic plants inexplicably became Chen Mobai¡¯s food.

 Chapter 19

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    In the classroom.


    Chen Mobai sat by the window, looking depressed.


    Previously, he had almost thought that he was going to change his fate. After all, a green carp allowed him to experience an increase of two water attribute points. If he ate dozens of them, wouldn¡¯t he be able to change his Spiritual Root into a water-attribute Heaven Spiritual Root?


    However, he had forgotten something. The ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app had detected that there was a fluctuation in the adaptive spiritual energy that he had cultivated for only one day. It returned to normal the next day.


    Reality was a little harsh.


    The power contained in the green carp could only be maintained for a day.


    That day, he ate eight of them in one go and his water attribute points increased to 39 points. That feeling of cultivation was something Chen Mobai had never experienced before.


    The efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy was almost twice as much as before. Apart from the increase in the attributes of his Spiritual Root, it was also because he was cultivating above the Rank-2 water vein. With the combination of the two, Chen Mobai almost changed his cultivation technique to the ¡°Black Water Technique¡±.


    Fortunately, he always did things steadily. He waited a day.


    However, on the second day, he was worried in the school¡¯s cultivation room. He used his spiritual power test paper again and realized that his water attribute points had fallen again.


    He refused to believe it. That night, he returned to the water mansion and caught five green carps to eat them as sashimi.


    The water attribute points of his Spiritual Root soared again. Then, after cultivating for a night, the water attribute points fell again.


    However, it was not that there was no good news. It was probably because Chen Mobai had eaten too much that the power of the green carp had subtly strengthened his Spiritual Root.


    After five days of eating crazily, nearly 40 green carps entered his stomach. Chen Mobai¡¯s water attribute points were also rising and falling like the curve of the stock market. In the end, it stabilized at 30 points and could no longer rise.


    Of course, it didn¡¯t fall any further.


    After going back and forth, Chen Mobai experienced a permanent increase of seven water attribute points in his Spiritual Root.


    [Name: Chen Mobai]


    [Age: 18]


    [Realm: Qi Refinement Level-5]


    [Spiritual Root: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10]


    [Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Technique]


    [Skills: Vertical Raising Spell, Cleaning Spell, Spiritual Power Shield, Qi Nurturing Spell, Water Control Spell]


    Opening the personal interface software on his phone, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment. In the end, he changed the number of water attribute points from 30 to 23.


    He already had a feeling that it was best not to let anyone else know about the water mansion.


    Although there was no lack of cultivation techniques and medicines in the immortal sect that could increase one¡¯s Spiritual Root attribute points, there were not many that could increase one¡¯s water attribute points so quickly. This was almost 20% to 30% of the effects provided by the Green Dragon Carp from the Kunpeng Dao College.


    Every time a cultivator ate a Green Dragon Carp, it could permanently increase their Spiritual Root attribute points. The Kunpeng Dao College had once used this to nurture a talented water-attribute alchemist, from an ordinary Spiritual Root with 33 water attribute points to a Heaven Spiritual Root with 80 water attribute points. This was widely publicized by the immortal sect. When Chen Mobai was young, this matter was reported on television news every day.


    Although the green carp in the water mansion was not as good as the Green Dragon Carp, he had accumulated a lot of them. They had also permanently increased Chen Mobai¡¯s water attribute points by seven points. Once it was publicized, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.


    After all, the Venerable Nascent Soul greatly treasured the Green Dragon Carp. As a result, no one had been able to eat it in the past 20 years.


    However, Chen Mobai did not dwell on this matter now. He opened his ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app and looked at the five halos above his profile picture on the top right corner of the app. He could not help but fall into deep thought.


    Last night, the [Agent] button on the Turtle Treasure app had suddenly lit up. He couldn¡¯t resist his curiosity and clicked on it.


    Then, the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app on his phone changed.


    There were five more halos above his head.


    The resources on Planet Earth were scarce, but the exploration war that occurred every 1,000 years was inevitable. In order to protect their home, there were 36 Heavenly Constellation satellites circling in the sky, forming a super formation.


    These 36 Heavenly Constellation satellites also provided all the networks and communications of the immortal sects. Each satellite was a superbrain, but most of their computing power was used to absorb the spiritual energy of the universe and integrate it into thousands of families for the cultivation of 300 million cultivators.


    It was precisely because of this that in order to avoid the waste of computing power, the extent of permissions that each level of cultivator could use in every application was different.


    For example, Chen Mobai, who was at Qi Refinement Level-5, could only use the most basic functions of the various software on his phone.


    Take the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app as an example.


    If Chen Mobai reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, when analyzing his recordings on the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app, he could also apply to watch the scene of Golden Core Perfect One cultivating the Five Elements Technique in the database. By comparing the two, not only could he correct his mistakes in cultivation, but he could also know the most correct way to cultivate the Five Elements Technique and various tricks.


    Furthermore, in the immortal sect, the app permissions were all displayed using visual halos.


    For example, the Qi Refinement Realm was the first level. As a result, a Qi Refinement-Realm cultivator would have one halo above their profile picture.


    Which begged the question.


    These five halos should refer to the fact that he had Level-5 access!


    What Realm did Level-5 correspond to?


    Chen Mobai calculated in his heart and simply gasped in shock.


    He had become a Soul Formation Patriarch.


    There were only two in the entire immortal sect.


    Didn¡¯t this turtle shell agent know how to keep a low profile? It was enough for him to have Level-3 Golden Core permissions. Why did he directly reach Level-5, which was the maximum level?


    Just as Chen Mobai was feeling inexplicably terrified, in an office in the Heaven Mending Dao College, a few cultivators were also anxiously looking at the data suddenly transmitted to them.


    ¡°This¡­ Could it be that the Patriarch has woken up? Is he traveling in his incarnation and playing in the mortal world?¡±


    Suddenly, a user with Level-5 permissions appeared. As the developer of this app, Mr. Shi was a little terrified as he expressed his surprise.


    It had to be known that the two Patriarchs had been in seclusion for more than 300 years, and his app had only been developed 200 years ago.


    Even though the permissions were divided into five levels, in reality, it was only completed up to Level-3.


    This was because Mr. Shi himself was at the Golden Core Realm. There were only a dozen or so Venerable Nascent Souls, who were a realm above him. Furthermore, once they went into seclusion, they would do so for decades. The only things that the Auxiliary Cultivation app could help them with were the cultivation videos of and the guidance from the Soul Formation Patriarchs.


    Before the Soul Formation Patriarchs uploaded their content, the highest realm that the Auxiliary Cultivation app software could help with was the Golden Core Realm.


    Therefore, after the first Level-5 user appeared, Mr. Shi was both excited and terrified.


    ¡°Use the backend information to look at the location. Then, we¡¯ll go to the scene and determine who it is. Maybe a hacker cracked the access to your app.¡±


    As an investor, the big boss was still very calm. The moment he spoke, the other cultivators who were thinking about how to show off in front of the Patriarch calmed down.


    Can¡¯t wait ReadMTL here ¨C> https://readmtl.com/novel/i-have-a-cultivation-world/

 Chapter 20 - Qing Ping

    Chapter 20 Qing Ping


    However, after conducting a check, Mr. Shi simply furrowed his eyebrows.


    ¡°It actually shows that it¡¯s not in the territory of the immortal sect!¡±


    He reported this result to the big boss. The big boss, who had always been happy and not angry, was stunned for a moment. He almost thought that this worker was playing with him.


    ¡°Our authority over the satellites in the sky only allows us to locate the Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands. Since we can¡¯t find the address, it can only be outside the Celestial Gate.¡±


    When Mr. Shi finished, the big boss nodded gently.


    ¡°Okay, got it. Keep an eye on this account. Let me know as soon as you hear anything else.¡±


    Before they could be 100% sure that it was a Soul Formation Patriarch, they did not dare to alarm the Venerable Nascent Soul who was in seclusion. They could only do this for now.


    Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.


    Chen Mobai was still worried that he would be locked down by the operator of the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app and be questioned by the cultivators in charge of security in the immortal sect.


    He didn¡¯t relax until two days had passed and no one had approached him.


    That night.


    Chen Mobai entered the water mansion again and felt the pure spiritual energy that filled his surroundings. He could not help but nod in satisfaction.


    Thanks to this Rank-2 treasure land and his diligence, his realm had steadily increased.


    According to his current progress, he should be able to attempt to break through to Qi Refinement Level-6 in about two months.


    However, this progress was still not enough for him.


    In his class, there were already Song Zheng and Yan Bingxuan, who were at Qi Refinement Level-7. In the entire grade, there were a total of 12 people at this level. They were already recommended to enter the two local third-tier Dao Colleges.


    Compared to them, Chen Mobai, who was Qi Refinement Level-5, was nothing.


    Not to mention, there were also three God of Studies at Qi Refinement Level-8. They were geniuses who might be admitted into the four top Dao Colleges.


    Furthermore, when the scope expanded to the entire Danxia City, including the private public schools, there were countless geniuses.


    There was no need to mention the Heaven Spiritual Root from the First High School of the Immortal Sect. When he entered the school, he had already been booked by the Goumang Dao College. In addition, two geniuses with Special Spiritual Roots had also received a free admission notice from the Nature Academy.


    It was said that there were still students at Qi Refinement Level-9 in other high schools, but many people were hiding their talents, waiting to amaze the world during the college entrance examination and be selected by the four major Dao Colleges.


    ¡°If only my Spiritual Root was more outstanding.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed. The main goal of the immortal sect was for man to conquer nature. As long as one¡¯s comprehension was outstanding and their luck was astonishing, they would be rewarded by the higher-ups during the exploration war, and their Spiritual Root would directly transform into a Heaven Spiritual Root. Then, they would advance by leaps and bounds, and the matter of becoming the ruler of the world would be on television every day. However, there were only a few people who could really do it.


    re


    As he sighed, he picked up his chopsticks and put the chilled fish slices beside him into his mouth.


    The cool and comfortable feeling made him very satisfied.


    Then, he took out the last spiritual power test paper and measured the attributes of his Spiritual Root. As expected, his the water attribute points of his Spiritual Root increased by two points, although it was only temporary.


    This was the last green carp he had caught near the water mansion.


    Perhaps it was because he had caught them too ruthlessly some time ago, but no green carp dared to come within a mile of him anymore. This one was the one he had caught yesterday and chilled until today.


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t feel that it was a pity. After all, these green carps were very delicious and had also increased his Spiritual Root attributes.


    He did not waste the effects of the fish meat. While his Spiritual Root was improving, he planned to start cultivating the Five Elements Technique.


    In the end, he did not change his cultivation technique to the Black Water Technique. Apart from the fact that the water attribute points of his Spiritual Root did not reach 33 points, it was also because there was no follow-up to this Black Water Technique.


    Although the Five Elements Technique was very ordinary, the spiritual energy cultivated as a result was neutral and peaceful. There were no obstacles in changing it to any cultivation technique. Moreover, if he did not mind having a weak combat ability, he could use his points to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Chapter and Golden Core Chapter of the Five Elements Technique in the National Library of the immortal sect.


    In history, the person who had cultivated the Five Elements Technique to the highest realm was a Nascent Soul expert named Qing Ping from the Heaven Mending Dao College.


    However, after Master Qing Ping broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm with the Five Elements Technique, he immediately switched to other cultivation techniques.


    This was because he could not defeat anyone in the same realm.


    Chen Mobai thought of the legend of Master Qing Ping¡¯s love of torturing rookies. Before cultivating his cultivation technique, he suddenly picked up his phone and opened the Auxiliary Cultivation app. Then, he filled in the ¡°Five Elements Technique¡± in the search bar at the top.


    After typing in the words ¡°Five Elements Technique¡±, he remembered that his phone could not receive a signal in the water mansion.


    He couldn¡¯t help but laugh at himself. He was about to put down his phone and cultivate hard.


    A loading circle suddenly appeared on the screen. Then, with a whoosh, the circle turned into a turtle shell and finally filled the entire interface. As if his phone had connected to a signal, more than 10,000 pages of search results appeared.


    ¡°This ¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth went dry as he read the first entry on the first page of the search results.


    The large headline read, ¡°I¡¯ll teach you everything I know about breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.¡±


    [Author: Qing Ping]


    With trembling fingers, he tapped the screen. At this moment, Chen Mobai could not be bothered to investigate why there was suddenly a signal in the water mansion.


    After he swiped the page, the internet speed was very fast.


    Chen Mobai clicked on an interface that resembled a video website. The title was the one he had seen outside.


    It was a collection of videos!


    There were a total of 28 videos, and they were all thoughtfully labeled with subtitles.


    (Five Elements Technique: Qi Refinement Level-1]


    (Five Elements Technique: Qi Refinement Level-2]


    (Five Elements Technique: Qi Refinement Level-3]


    The final search result was (Five Elements Technique: Nascent Soul Level-1).


    Chen Mobai eagerly pulled up the interface of the video titled (Five Elements Technique: Qi Refinement Level-5) and clicked on it.


    ¡°Hello, students. This is your Teacher Qing Ping. Today, we will continue to explain the Level-5 of the Five Elements Technique.¡±


    ¡°Everyone, please open the textbook on the Five Elements Technique to page 26. Before I explain this lesson, please tell me about the homework I gave everyone yesterday.¡±


    ¡°Although this basic Qi Refinement technique is simple, it contains very rich knowledge. It can even be said that the number one Qi Refinement technique in the immortal sect is also the foundation of the immortal sect. This is also why the immortal sect forcefully stipulates that all cultivators must cultivate the Five Elements Technique when they are young.¡±


    ¡°Even cultivators with Heaven Spiritual Roots have to cultivate the Five Elements Technique to Level-7 before they can switch to their own attribute cultivation technique. Then what¡¯s the reason for this? Teacher Qing Ping will explain it to everyone in detail in this class.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but speed up the video and watch it at double speed. Qing Ping was too naggy.


    However, after watching the 45-minute teaching video, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but light up. He listened to Qing Ping explain the cultivation of the Five Elements Technique from the beginning at a normal speed.


    Then, he eagerly sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion.


    Chen Mobai felt that he could now cultivate to Qi Refinement Level-6 within a month.

 Chapter 21 - The Theory of Spiritual Roots

    Chapter 21 The Theory of Spiritual Roots


    The Imperial Medicine Palace had done a lot of research on the relative relationship between Spiritual Roots and cultivation speed. In the end, the book ¡°The Theory of Spiritual Roots¡± was published and became a treasured medical book.


    Research showed that Spiritual Root attribute points were proportional to cultivation speed.


    Every cultivator who was born normally would have 100 attribute points allocated to their Spiritual Root when their innate essence was sufficient. Then, the attribute points would be divided into five elements according to their luck, which was the ¡°Spiritual Root¡± that every cultivator had.


    Furthermore, the number of attribute points in each of the five elements determined the efficiency of their cultivation techniques.


    Take a genius with astonishing luck, who had all 100 attribute points allocated to the wood attribute, as an example. This was the legendary perfect wood-attribute Heaven Spiritual Root. As a result, their efficiency of cultivating wood-attribute cultivation techniques would be twice that of ordinary people. Originally, it would take 100 years to master it. However, this person would only need 50 years.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Root attribute values were: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 30, Fire 17, and Earth 10.


    With his Spiritual Root, which had the most attribute points in the water attribute, as an example, if he cultivated the Black Water Technique and brought in the formulae in ¡°The Theory of Spiritual Roots¡±, his efficiency of refining spiritual energy would only be 1.3 times that of ordinary people.


    Of course, the specific efficiency of cultivation depended on the concentration of spiritual energy, the mental state of the cultivator, and whether there were any auxiliary spiritual objects.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s talent, it would take at least half a year for him to break through to Qi Refinement Level-6 with the Five Elements Technique.


    However, the water mansion was a middle-grade Rank-2 spiritual land. The concentration of spiritual energy was five to six times that of a superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual land. Thus, the efficiency of cultivating here was like riding a rocket compared to at school and home.


    However, even so, due to the limitations of his Spiritual Root, according to Chen Mobai¡¯s previous calculations, he still needed 100 days to break through to Qi Refinement Level-6. This was just before the college entrance examination.


    This was before he watched the video of Master Qing Ping¡¯s lecture.


    Then Venerable Nascent Soul was indeed Venerable Nascent Soul. Even though he was only explaining the most basic Five Elements Technique and had talked about a lot of unimportant things in the beginning, when he really entered the dry content of the cultivation technique, Chen Mobai instantly felt enlightened.


    It turned out that when the spiritual energy circulated to this meridian, it could easily soar without any obstacles by rotating it counter-clockwise seven times in the aperture.


    When absorbing spiritual energy from the three orifices of the mouth and nose, it was necessary to repeatedly go back and forth between the 12 sections of the throat. This way, the impurities in the spiritual energy of the outside world could be intercepted by the 12 sections and not enter the meridians in the body. When it was time to stop, the waste gas at the throat would be expelled.


    Another example was that after the spiritual energy was refined and gathered in the dantian¡¯s sea of Qi, it could enter the body in the right direction.


    This was because a rotation to the right resulted in a clockwise rotation, allowing for a smooth entry. This helped to condense spiritual power. Furthermore, when one reached the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future, they would turn this spiritual power into liquid. By taking this step, one could increase the success rate of achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future by 10%.


    By the same logic, a rotation to the left was the reverse and was done to dissipate the spiritual power. As a result, the spiritual power would not be able to rush through some of the more blocked and narrow meridians. It needed to spread out and turn into a thin soft aura that slowly advanced.


    After cultivating, Chen Mobai watched the videos of the Qi Refinement Level-1 and Level-2 of the Five Elements Technique. Only then did he realize how crude his understanding of this basic cultivation technique was.


    He saw that it was almost morning. Only then did he reluctantly lock his form.


    However, during his cultivation that night, he had already used the offline download function to download all 28 videos of Master Qing Ping explaining the Five Elements Technique to his phone. This offline download function was also a privilege that only users above Level-3 had. Chen Mobai was now a Level-5 user, so it was naturally not a problem. However, just in case, when he went to class today, he turned off the mobile network on his phone to avoid being found by the operators of the Auxiliary Cultivation app.


    ¡°Did you know that Yan Bingxuan dropped out of school?¡±


    In the morning, before the teacher came in, his deskmate, Lu Hongsheng, had already mysteriously approached Chen Mobai. However, he still couldn¡¯t hide the matter and directly revealed the explosive news.


    ¡°Eh, why? The college entrance examination is coming soon. Is she going to drop out because she lost to Song Zheng and couldn¡¯t take the blow?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s very likely. She¡¯s usually cold and aloof. This time, she lost and couldn¡¯t keep her face, so she simply dropped out.¡±


    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t be. It¡¯s not like she hasn¡¯t lost before.¡±


    ¡°Maybe she used dropping out of school as an excuse to secretly work at home.¡±


    The two beautiful deskmates in front also came over. The tables behind him were not empty either. In an instant, a gossip circle with Chen Mobai and Lu Hongsheng at the center was formed.


    Chen Mobai could only roll his eyes. In the past, he would have participated as well, but now that he was in his third year of high school and needed to risk his life, he couldn¡¯t be bothered to waste time on gossip.


    He wanted to amaze the world and soar into the sky¡­


    At this moment, Yan Bingxuan walked in. Instantly, the gossip circle fell silent.


    A cold gaze looked over. Chen Mobai expressed that he was innocent and did not participate in the discussion at all. However, Beauty Yan only looked at him coldly for two seconds before returning to her seat. She silently packed her things, picked up her blue school bag, and left the classroom.


    There was silence for perhaps ten seconds. Then, everyone began to speak in high tones and whisper to each other.


    The students who had been skeptical about Lu Hongsheng¡¯s news could not help but look at them in surprise, causing Chen Mobai¡¯s deskmate to raise his chest proudly.


    There was a click.


    Then, Chen Mobai stood up and dragged his chair across the floor, making a noise.


    ¡°Where are you going? Class is starting soon.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng asked curiously.


    ¡°I forgot my textbook. I¡¯ll borrow it from the library.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, he avoided the even more ridiculous gossip conjecture that began to be discussed next. It couldn¡¯t be helped. The tables at the back had already imagined the love-hate relationship between the two geniuses, Song Zheng and Yan Bingxuan. It was enough to make a 20-episode television series.


    He couldn¡¯t bear to hear any more.


    It just so happened that he was planning to borrow a textbook from the library, so he decided to slip away.


    The Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect had a small library with a collection of about 3,000 books. This included some commonly used biographies, books about the local conditions and customs of Danxia City, as well as some small spell manuals, cultivation technique books, medicinal pills, artifacts, array formations, and other materials that could be self-learned.


    Although the book of the highest grade was only a superior-grade Rank-1 book, the basic content in all aspects was perfect. If a diligent person finished reading all the books in the library and comprehended them, it would not be a problem for them to become a Rank-1 array master, alchemist, and appraiser.


    Unfortunately, not many people came to this library.


    After all, who read paper books in this day and age?


    Only those who forgot to bring their textbooks would come here to borrow books with their student card for half a day. Then, they would return the books after school.


    If not for the fact that Chen Mobai did not want to spend 10 points to download the electronic version of the Five Elements Technique from the National Electronic Library of the immortal sect, he would not have borrowed it from this library.


    He had benefited greatly from Master Qing Ping¡¯s lecture yesterday. However, when he watched the previous content, he realized that his knowledge was already a little blurry. He felt that it was necessary to take the original textbook of the Five Elements Technique and compare it with the content of the videos.


    ¡°That¡¯ll be one copy of ¡®Five Elements Technique¡¯. Using your student card to borrow the book, it¡¯ll be free as long as you return the book within a month.¡±


    The person who ran the library was a teacher with round glasses. She deftly took Chen Mobai¡¯s student card and swiped it.


    Just as Chen Mobai thanked the librarian and was about to leave, someone suddenly walked into the library.

 Chapter 22 - Mystic Ice Technique

    Chapter 22 Mystic Ice Technique


    Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her beautiful face was cold. It was Yan Bingxuan.


    She was carrying a school bag and a book in her hand. When she walked into the library, she bumped into Chen Mobai. Her head tilted slightly as if she was very surprised.


    ¡°I forgot my textbook. I came here to borrow


    it.¡±


    After Yan Bingxuan heard this, she looked at the Five Elements Technique book in his hand. Her clear eyes narrowed slightly in confusion.


    Didn¡¯t the teachers already finish teaching this basic cultivation technique in the first year of high school?


    However, Yan Bingxuan had no intention of probing into Chen Mobai¡¯s words. She raised her snow-white and round chin and nodded gently in response. Then, she walked past him and stood in front of the female teacher who was in charge of borrowing.


    ¡°Hello, I¡¯ve come to return a book.¡±


    As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Mobai turned around and saw the book she had returned.


    It was titled ¡°Frost Condensation Technique¡±!


    It was a cultivation technique that Old Ding had said could turn a Spiritual Root into an ice Spiritual Root.


    ¡°Finally. You¡¯ve been borrowing this book for almost a year.¡±


    The female teacher with round glasses seemed to know Yan Bingxuan. After taking ¡°Frost Condensation Technique¡±, she teased her. Then, Yan Bingxuan revealed a rare smile, like the spring breeze turning into rain. Chen Mobai, who had only seen Beauty Yan¡¯s cold face in the past year, could not help but be stunned.


    ¡°When I heard you dropped out of school, I figured you must have succeeded. Now that you¡¯re here to return the book, I¡¯m even more


    sure.¡±


    When she was carrying out the book return process, the female teacher spoke casually, which made Chen Mobai¡¯s heart skip a beat. He vaguely felt that he knew the real reason why Yan Bingxuan had dropped out of school.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve already sensed the frost intent. I¡¯ve cultivated the ice Spiritual Root, but my attribute points are still not enough. I need a lot of time to increase them.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan was usually a person of few words, but she seemed to be very close to this female teacher with round glasses. Thus, Yan Bingxuan smiled and told her about her cultivation progress. ¡°If it¡¯s you, you¡¯ll definitely succeed.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Unlike her usual cold attitude in class, Yan Bingxuan was very gentle at this moment. For the first time, Chen Mobai felt the charm of this classmate.


    ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you. You usually make yourself so cold in order to match the ice Spiritual Root.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s pretty good too. You¡¯re pretty quiet.¡±


    It turned out that she usually acted cold.


    Just as Chen Mobai was thinking this, the female teacher had already completed the return procedures for ¡°Mystic Ice Technique¡± and handed Yan Bingxuan¡¯s student card to her.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡±


    However, Yan Bingxuan simply looked at the student card longingly. Then, she shook her head and left.


    Yan Bingxuan walked to the door and saw Chen Mobai standing there. Their eyes met. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded as a farewell to their brief classmateship.


    They hadn¡¯t been in the same class in the first and second years of high school. They had only been assigned together in the third year of high school.


    IThis could be considered a medium-sized fate.


    ¡°After reaching Qi Refinement Level-7, you can give up on cultivating the Five Elements Technique and switch to other cultivation techniques that are suitable for the attribute of your Spiritual Root. What did you choose?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly asked.


    After learning about the method to improve one¡¯s Spiritual Root from Old Ding, he had specially searched for this knowledge online. He knew that although the method to improve one¡¯s Spiritual Root was also a method, it was more inclined to be a Dharma spell.


    Cultivators needed to cultivate and persevere for a long time. Sometimes, they might not even see their Spiritual Root attribute points increase even after a month.


    Many forerunners would ask cultivators to find a cultivation technique that matched their Spiritual Root. This way, they could not fall behind too much in their realm and could advance this technique along with the Spiritual Root Evolution Technique. It was the best of both worlds.


    ¡°The Mystic Ice Technique.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan subconsciously answered. Then, she came to a realization. Why did she have to answer him?


    ¡°We¡¯ll meet again if fate allows.¡±


    After hearing her answer, Chen Mobai¡¯s desire to give her ¡°Black Water Technique¡± faded. He had thought that her Frost Breath Technique and Ice Spell from the book should be of reference to her and wanted to form a good relationship.


    It was obvious that the Mystic Ice Technique was prepared for ice Spiritual Roots. He was the one who was overthinking.


    Watching Yan Bingxuan leave, Chen Mobai turned back.


    ¡°Can I borrow this book?¡±


    The female teacher with the round glasses was about to put ¡°Frost Condensation Technique¡± on the shelf when she heard Chen¡¯s voice. She pointed hesitantly at the book in her hand. ¡°This book?¡±.


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    ¡°This is a book from District A. If a student want to borrow it, they need the approval of the main subject teacher.¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard this, he nodded slightly and recalled what Old Ding had said. Although there were many Spiritual Root enhancement techniques, in order to prevent students with weak self-control from indulging and wasting precious time building their foundation, they usually needed to enter university before they were allowed to come into contact with this knowledge.


    ¡°I understand. Thank you, Teacher.¡±


    The female teacher with round glasses had a good impression of the polite Chen Mobai. At first, she thought that he had a good impression of Yan Bingxuan and wanted to use this opportunity to find a common ground between them. In order to prevent Chen Mobai from delaying his cultivation, she specially reminded him.


    ¡°Bingxuan¡¯s aunt is a perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Nature Academy. It¡¯s said that she¡¯s about to attempt to reach the Core Formation Realm. It¡¯s hard to say if she¡¯ll survive this round, so she plans to nurture a successor before attempting the Core Formation Realm. She¡¯s one of the candidates. If she succeeds in the Frost Condensation Technique and condenses an ice Spiritual Root, then it¡¯ll most likely be her.¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard the female teacher¡¯s words, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he understood that she had misunderstood. However, he knew that the teacher was also reminding him kindly that he was still young and should prioritize his cultivation. If he succeeded in building his foundation, he still had more than a hundred years to slowly pursue his Spiritual Root.


    ¡°A perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator? I¡¯m afraid that there¡¯s no one like that in Danxia City.¡±


    Although the immortal sect had an orderly inheritance and was an immortal cultivation civilization, they could not avoid the gathering effect. Cultivators who were more talented basically went to the Grotto-Heaven cities with high-ranked spiritual veins.


    Although Danxia City had two major academies and an extremely rare Rank-4 fire vein, other than Foundation Establishment cultivators whose cultivation had reached its limit, they would not stay here for long.


    It was even more so for cultivators who had reached the perfected Foundation Establishment realm and had a chance of reaching the Core Formation Realm.


    ¡°Although there are no perfected Foundation Establishment cultivators in our city, there are two Golden Cores.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s sigh, the female teacher, who was born and raised in Danxia City, could not help but say.


    That¡¯s right, among the 72 Blessed Lands of the immortal sects, some did not even have a Golden Core Perfected One presiding over them.


    However, there were two of them in Danxia City, who oversaw the two local Dao Colleges. One of them was a red-robed Daoist who had returned to his hometown, while the other was Perfected One Shi Qing, who had used the fire vein in Danxia City to refine a Dharma treasure.


    ¡°If only I could listen to a Golden Core Perfected One lecture once. After listening to it, I might be confident enough to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.¡±


    The female teacher was also at the perfected Qi Refinement Level-9, but she had never dared to achieve the Foundation Establishment Realm. If a Golden Core cultivator told her that she could successfully build her foundation, she might be able to rush towards the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    However, what kind of status did Golden Cores have? They could be said to be the sky of Danxia City!


    Not to mention a mere high school teacher like her, even students from the two local Dao Colleges might not have the chance to meet a Golden Core cultivator.


    At that moment, the bell rang.


    Chen Mobai immediately bade farewell and rushed back to the classroom with the Five Elements Technique book.


    He put on his wireless earpiece and clicked on the video of the Five Elements Technique lecture that he had downloaded last night. To avoid being seen by his deskmate, he had also switched off the screen of his disconnected cell phone and placed it under his textbook to hide it.


    Master Qing Ping¡¯s long-winded words sounded in his ears. Chen Mobai accurately swiped his finger across the screen without looking


    He wanted to fast forward the video!

 Chapter 23 - Qi Refinement Level-6

    Chapter 23 Qi Refinement Level-6


    In the water mansion, Chen Mobai sat on the meditation cushion.


    Waves of light representing the five elements appeared on his face. After flashing past one by one, they finally turned into a deep yellow color.


    This meant that the Five Elements Technique circulated for one full cycle before turning into platinum. Then, metal gave birth to water¡­ The five elements complemented each other and constantly rotated. After nine cycles, a trace of sweat appeared on Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead.


    After a month of cultivation, under the nourishment of the Rank-2 spiritual energy in the water mansion, he finally reached the peak of Level-5 in the Five Elements Technique.


    When the time came, he had to break through in one go.


    This was what Master Qing Ping had said. Chen Mobai now respected everything this Venerable Nascent Soul had said. Without any hesitation, he felt that he was already at the last step and swallowed a Purple Fire Pill in his mouth.


    Although this kind of breakthrough pill was only 20% to 30% effective in breaking through Qi Refinement Level-6, it was the best Chen Mobai could buy.


    There were no less than 10,000 types of immortal pills and spiritual water in the immortal sect, but those that could help cultivators break through cultivation barriers were always the most popular.


    For example, no such pill was sold in ordinary pharmacies. Even if there was, it would at most increase the success rate by 5% or 10%.


    If ordinary cultivators wanted to buy good things, they could only hope that the pills periodically released by the large pharmaceutical factories or the official flagship stores of the immortal sects were basically top-notch.


    The Purple Fire Pill was one of them.


    After the pill entered his stomach, the sugar coating on the surface was instantly melted by spiritual energy. Then, a gentle Yang energy spread out and instantly spread throughout his body.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Five Elements Technique, which had been circulated to the extreme, seemed to have been pushed and suddenly advanced to Level-6.


    However, that didn¡¯t mean he¡¯d broken through successfully. It was easy to break through, but the most important thing was to stabilize his realm after breaking through.


    A wisp of purple gas faintly appeared between his eyebrows.


    Purple qi rose slightly like fireworks, but it was about to extinguish in the next moment.


    This meant that the medicinal power had begun to run out, and he had only completed half of the full cycle in the Five Elements Technique. If he could not finish a complete circulation, it meant that he had failed this breakthrough


    However, Chen Mobai was not in a hurry. He stabilized his mind and placed his hand on a Spirit Stone beside him.


    Although it was his first time refining a Spirit Stone, he had found a lot of information about this on the Auxiliary Cultivation app. He already knew the main points and taboos.


    With the help of the Spirit Stone, Chen Mobai¡¯s realm, which was about to fall, stabilized again. He even easily completed a full cycle.


    He had successfully broken through to Qi Refinement Level-6!


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes. He had a peaceful expression and couldn¡¯t help but laugh heartily. His hard work for the past month had not been in vain.


    Of course, although there were many factors that allowed him to break through to Qi Refinement Level-6, he knew very well that the greatest credit for being able to break through in a month was still Master Qing Ping¡¯s lecture videos.


    A mighty figure in the Nascent Soul Realm had explained the Qi Refinement Chapter of the Five Elements Technique thoroughly.


    For the past month, Chen Mobai had been watching his videos in school during the day and coming to the water mansion at night to apply what he had learned. In addition, he had the spiritual energy of this Rank-2 treasure land, the Purple Fire Pill, and the help of the Spirit Stone. He felt that if he still could not break through, he would really be stupid.


    ¡°Should I prepare to change my cultivation technique?¡±


    After being excited for a while, Chen Mobai quickly calmed down and returned to reality.


    The immortal sect had a rule that when any cultivator started from the Qi Cultivation Realm, they had to cultivate the Five Elements Technique. At the Qi Refinement Level-7, they could choose to continue cultivating the Five Elements Technique or change to other cultivation techniques.


    The advantages and disadvantages of the Five Elements Technique were very obvious. For cultivators with ordinary Spiritual Roots, their cultivation speed would not be slow, but their combat ability was average. However, the adaptive spiritual power of the Five Elements Technique allowed it to be converted into any attribute cultivation technique without any obstacles.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mother, Tang Pancui, cultivated the Five Elements Technique. She had been stuck at Qi Refinement Level-6 for many years, but her mentality was very good.


    As for Chen Mobai¡¯s father, Chen Xinglan, he had switched to the ¡°Fuse Technique¡± that he had learned from the Crimson Afterglow College at his own expense. He was now at Qi Refinement Level-8 and worked in a workshop of a magic artifact factory. His company provided free superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy to its employees. In order to save money, he spent most of his time at the company.


    Meanwhile, the National Library of the immortal sect had an artificial primordial spirit. As long as one entered his Spiritual Root attribute, it would automatically match the user to the most suitable cultivation technique book.


    He only needed to spend one point to try this function.


    Chen Mobai had tried it before when he was bored. Then, the artificial primordial spirit gave him the Five Elements Technique, which made his face turn green on the spot.


    This meant that although he had a True Spiritual Root, it was basically no different from having a pseudo Spirit Root.


    However, things were different now.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai turned on his phone and opened the National Library app. However, he immediately realized that his phone had no signal.


    ¡°I almost forgot that only the Auxiliary Cultivation app, which has an agent in the Turtle Treasure app, receives a signal in the water mansion¡­¡±


    Chen checked the time. It was still early, but he decided to go back early. With the Purple Fire Pill, he could not cultivate for a period of time after breaking through. He could only use the Qi Nourishing Spell to nourish his meridians. However, Chen Mobai used the pure spiritual energy in the Spirit Stone in the latter half of the cycle. It seemed that the Yang fire effect of the pill was completely neutralized. He did not feel that his meridians were as full as when he broke through to Qi Refinement Level-5.


    It was as if his cultivation of the sixth level of Qi Refinement had completely stabilized without the need for nourishment.


    However, to be safe, Chen Mobai did not continue cultivating today.


    There was no hurry. Cultivation had to be balanced.


    Just as he put away the Spirit Stone that he had sucked dry, a sudden pop-up window abruptly appeared on his phone screen.


    (Do you wish to enable the Agent function?]


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    After a short moment of surprise, Chen Mobai thought of how much Master Qing Ping¡¯s lecture video had helped him. He was about to say (Yes).


    However, just as his finger was about to press down, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He recalled the Level-5 halo after he had activated the agent in the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app. His face instantly turned pale.


    His hand trembled, and he was so shocked that he immediately clicked ¡®No¡¯.


    This was the National Library, the foundation of the immortal sect, not some app from a small workshop.


    Once he became a Level-5 user of the National Library, the three halls of the immortal sect would find this person even if they had to search the entire Planet Earth.


    However, it was a pity to give up on this agent.


    He quickly opened the Turtle Treasure app and could not help but be relieved to see that the (Agent] button was glowing, indicating that it could be used.


    How exactly was this feature triggered?


    Chen Mobai thought about how he had just broken through to Qi Refinement Level-6. Could it be that he could activate this function once every time he broke through?


    But why had he waited for days the last time?


    Was it because this breakthrough was perfect and his realm was stable?

 Chapter 24 - Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water

    Chapter 24 Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water


    Chen Mobai looked conflicted.


    If he allowed the Turtle Treasure app to manage his National Library app, there was no doubt that it would help him more than the second-rate Auxiliary Cultivation app.


    The immortal sect had a very strict hierarchy. The higher one¡¯s cultivation level was, the higher the authority they could enjoy.


    As for the National Library, it was undoubtedly one of the core treasures of the immortal sect. The 84,000 Dao books stored inside were said to be all-encompassing. As long as a cultivator reached a certain level, they could check the corresponding cultivation insights and cultivation techniques.


    Even the seven cultivation techniques passed down by the immortal sect that could be cultivated to the Soul Formation Realm were included.


    However, only Venerable Nascent Souls could check this part of the content.


    Although Chen Mobai also knew how capable he was, he was only an insignificant Qi Refinement Level-6 cultivator now. Even if a Soul Formation Realm cultivation technique was placed in front of him, he could only look at it and not cultivate it.


    However, humans were always curious.


    If the Turtle Treasure app really succeeded in becoming an agent and raised his permissions to Level-5, wouldn¡¯t he be able to browse all the contents of the National Library? Although downloading entire books still required points, he would be able to learn about Soul Formation cultivation techniques. He was happy just by reading the introduction.


    Still, he had some sense.


    He felt that he had to think of a foolproof plan. He had to make sure that the immortal sect would not find out about him before activating the agent.


    Chen Mobai clicked on his user interface in the National Library. The account name was adapted from an ancient poem that he thought was very cool when he was young.


    ¡°If I were the Qing Emperor!¡±


    Looking at it now, it was still a little childish, but only he knew this account name anyway, so he couldn¡¯t be bothered to change it after so many years.


    There was a small tick at the back of the account, indicating that he had passed the real- name verification.


    If this account was upgraded to a Level-5 user, the immortal sect would be able to reach his doorstep that night. It was better to take it slow.


    After Chen Mobai calmed down, he got up and packed his things, preparing to leave the water mansion.


    It was already a joyous matter that he had successfully broken through to Qi Refinement Level-6 today. He could not be greedy. After all, extreme joy led to sorrow.


    He packed up the tin box that had contained the Purple Fire Pill, the Spirit Stone that had been sucked dry and turned gray, and his beverage bottles and snack bags, preparing to take them home for garbage sorting.


    He put on his bag and was about to press the ¡°Return to City¡± button on his phone when he suddenly saw the three side halls that had been closed all this time.


    He had been so engrossed in cultivation these days that he had almost forgotten that there were three side halls in the water mansion.


    Putting aside the two side halls that were sealed with lightning restrictions, he could now try to crack the array formation with the water wave restriction.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go and buy more Green Arrow Talismans. Then, I¡¯ll break them in the next two days.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself, then disappeared in a flash of silver light.


    At school.


    The teacher was giving a lecture while Chen Mobai and most of the other students were minding their own business.


    In immortal cultivation, one¡¯s realm came first.


    After all, the higher one¡¯s cultivation level was, the longer one¡¯s lifespan would be. This knowledge could be learned when one reached a bottleneck in cultivation in the future.


    The teacher knew this, so they ignored it and went on talking.


    Usually, there were only two types of cultivators who came to be teachers. The first type were senior cultivators who had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, such as Manager Ding.


    The other type wanted to use the opportunity of teaching to re-experience the four subjects of Dharma spells, pills, equipment, and array dormations. They also wanted to earn some Karma Points at the same time. Two examples were their form teacher, Chai Deyun, and the array formation teacher, Chan Si. The former had reached a bottleneck in her cultivation, while the latter had accepted the teaching mission from Danzhu College. Chan Si was also learning array formations and using the opportunity of teaching to deepen her foundation.


    Chen Mobai was shopping online.


    The ¡°Green Arrow Talisman¡± he had bought last time had worked very well. Thus, he went to the same shop and placed another order.


    This time, he had the money. Just to be sure, he bought ten of them in one go. Even though half of the Karma Points in his card were gone, he didn¡¯t feel bad. After all, he¡¯d gotten all these Karma Points without doing anything.


    He used the remaining Karma Points to buy two Wooden Armor Talismans.


    It felt good to spend money.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s luck was off the charts. He had snatched two bottles of ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡± that had just been put on sale by Goumang Dao College. It was a medium-grade Rank-1 spiritual water and could quickly fill up his cultivation level after breaking through.


    For example, Chen Mobai had just broken through to Qi Refinement Level-6. If he absorbed spiritual energy to cultivate the Five Elements Technique, he would need about two years to complete his cultivation of the Qi Refinement Level-6 and attempt to break through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm.


    However, consuming the ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡± could quickly shorten this process.


    According to the instructions of the pill formula, if one consumed a bottle and cultivated in a place with sufficient spiritual energy, one day of cultivation would be equivalent to ten ordinary days of cultivation.


    In other words, if Chen Mobai consumed the ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡± every day, he could shorten the cultivation from two years to 70 days and complete his cultivation of Qi Refinement Level-6.


    Many so-called young geniuses were fed this ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡±.


    However, there were pros and cons.


    First of all, it was not cheap. A bottle cost 200 Karma Points.


    Secondly, if one consumed the ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡± to shorten their cultivation time, their foundation would naturally be unstable. The time needed to break through the bottleneck would also far exceed those cultivators who cultivated step by step.


    It was still fine if it was a minor bottleneck, but if one wanted to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm with a weak foundation, the failure rate was almost 100%.


    Chen Mobai would never have thought of buying this, but after breaking through to Qi Refinement Level-6, he felt that if he worked hard, he might have a chance to advance to Qi Refinement Level-7 before the college entrance examination.


    Once he reached the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, it would be completely different. He could basically enter the top ten academies. Even if his foundation was a little superficial, he could just think of ways to make up for it in the future.


    After all, Master Qing Ping had said that one¡¯s realm was number one.


    This Venerable Nascent Soul had experienced more than 300 battles since he started cultivating and had never been defeated. What he relied on was his high realm.


    When he was at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he fought Qi Refinement cultivators. When he was at the Golden Core Realm, he defeated Foundation Establishment cultivators. After reaching the Nascent Soul realm, he only attacked Golden Core cultivators and never fought with cultivators of the same realm.


    Chen Mobai felt that what Master Qing Ping said made a lot of sense.


    In the battle at the water mansion, if not for the fact that he was at the mid-stage Qi Refinement Realm and the old man was only at Qi Refinement Level-3, he might not have been able to win.


    Therefore, the most important thing was to increase his realm.


    That was why he had bought the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water.


    He was also lucky. This was a best-selling product. Every time it was put on sale, it would basically be snatched up within a minute. Moreover, there was a limit of five bottles per account. If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t been browsing the Goumang Dao College¡¯s official flagship store just now and happened to be there, he might not have been able to snatch it.


    It was a pity that he was short of money. Otherwise, he could have bought all five bottles. Even if he didn¡¯t use them, he could still earn 100 Karma Points by reselling them.


    While he was feeling regretful, Chen Mobai heard the bell ringing.


    In the school¡¯s cultivation room, he did not watch Master Qing Ping¡¯s Five Elements Technique video lecture this time. Instead, he searched for the video of him breaking the restrictions. Relying on his high level of permissions, he searched for more than 300 methods of breaking the restrictions similar to the compound water wave restriction.

 Chapter 25 - Milky Way Realm

    Chapter 25 Milky Way Realm


    In addition to the video, there were more than a thousand articles bragging about the best way to break out of jail.


    Chen Mobai set up the search conditions. First, he set the level of the author to the Nascent Soul Realm.


    Instantly, there were only two videos and six articles left.


    After he read the contents carefully, he felt dizzy.


    The content was too advanced. The technique that a Venerable Nascent Soul felt was very basic was like a heavenly book to him.


    He had no choice but to search for authors in the Qi Refinement Realm.


    However, there were too many of them. In the end, he could only choose some of the more popular ones to read first.


    In any case, it would take two to three days for the Green Arrow Talismans to be delivered to him. Chen Mobai slowly began to compare the methods to break the restriction uploaded by various special people on the Auxiliary Cultivation app. Then, he would choose a method suitable for him to study.


    If he really couldn¡¯t understand anything, he would ask Old Ding to teach him. The latter would tell him everything he knew.


    When he obtained the talismans and the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water, Chen Mobai was already very confident in breaking the seal.


    In the water mansion.


    He first controlled the array flags to test it out to ensure that the power of the Jade Water Array was not linked to the restriction before activating the Green Arrow Talisman to break the restriction.


    It turned out that he had done a pretty good job at preparing


    After the bombardment of the three Green Arrow Talismans, the door to the side hall on the right shattered. This was because the power of the Green Arrow Talismans had not been exhausted after the power of the water wave restriction disappeared.


    Chen Mobai hurriedly waved the array flag in his hand. Then, he used the Jade Water Array to pick up the remaining pieces of the stone door one by one and piled them up in the front hall.


    Then, he used the Cleaning Spell to clean up all the dust.


    Holding the array flag in one hand and a Wooden Armor Talisman in the other, he walked to the already open door.


    The side hall was small and had a layout similar to a study. Apart from a large wooden table that was two by three meters large, there were bookshelves along three of the walls. They were filled with rolls of bamboo slips, books, and paper.


    Chen Mobai flicked six glass beads in, which rolled through all areas of the side hall. After confirming that there was no residual restriction power, he walked in. He came to the big wooden table. There was a random pile of white paper on it. There was also a pen holder with three brushes of different sizes hanging on it, and an inkstone. The ink was completely dry, which showed that no one had used it for a long time.


    There was another book on the table with two lines on the cover.


    The first line read, ¡°Jade Wave Mansion Accounts¡±!


    The second line read, ¡°First Yuan Era, Year 6425¡±!


    There was also a signature in the lower right corner which read ¡°Liu Lengpei, Five Elements Sect¡±.


    After Chen Mobai finished looking at the desk, he looked around and realized that most of the bookshelves were filled with ledgers. A small portion of them recorded the local customs. There were also some miscellaneous books that introduced Dharma spells, alchemy, Dharma artifacts, and array formations. He even saw the Black Water Technique among the books.


    There was a stool below the big wooden table. Chen Mobai went over and sat down.


    Then, he picked up the book on the table and opened it.


    In January, a new batch of 200 Jade Blood Carp fries were bought from the Liu cultivation family, while seven stalks of Silver-Bordered Jade Bamboo from Green Bamboo Ridge were purchased. Two stalks of Golden-Bordered Jade Bamboo were also purchased, bringing the total cost to 370 Spirit Stones.


    In February, 100 kilograms of fish food and 50 bottles of spiritual water to nurture the Jade Bamboo were purchased from the South Stream Market. A total of 120 Spirit Stones were spent.


    In March, 150 kilograms of fish food was bought from the South Stream Market. The Silver-Bordered Jade Bamboo was not cultivated well, so two stalks died. He also bought five bottles of spiritual water to clean up the pests, which cost a total of 70 Spirit Stones.


    In April, 200 kilograms of fish food and 20 bottles of spiritual water were purchased, bringing the total amount to 80 Spirit Stones.


    In May¡­ One stalk of Gold-Rimmed Jade Bamboo withered¡­


    The ledger continued until October and ended just like that. He didn¡¯t see any income at the end.


    It seemed that the bookkeeper had something on at this time and had left this Jade Wave Mansion.


    Chen Mobai got up and walked to the bookshelf on the wall. He compared the dates and found the ledgers for the previous year Year 6424. Not only did he find the ledgers for this year, but the ledgers for the next 20 years were also in this row.


    He took ten books, returned to the table, and began to turn the pages from the beginning.


    He flipped through the ledgers for the first three years and finally saw some income.


    In August of Year 6423 in the First Yuan Era, 50 Jade Blood Carps grew into inferior-grade Rank-1 fish. Thirty fish were supplied to the sect, while 20 were sold in the Heavenly Dining Hall of the South Stream Market for 200 Spirit Stones.


    In September, 70 inferior-grade Rank-1 Jade Blood Carps were sold for 700 Spirit Stones.


    In October, 20 inferior-grade Rank-1 Jade Blood Carps were sold for 200 Spirit Stones.


    After flipping through ten years¡¯ worth of accounts, Chen Mobai had reason to suspect that the bookkeeper might have embezzled a lot.


    However, at this moment, he realized that the green carp he had eaten was actually called the ¡°Jade Blood Carp¡±. One fry was worth one Spirit Stones. After nurturing it for three years, it could be sold for ten Spirit Stones.


    le


    He flipped through the other ledgers, finally learning the history of the water mansion.


    The Jade Wave Mansion was a lower courtyard of the Five Elements Sect, a large sect in the Eastern Wastelands. The Jade Cloud Lake, where it was located, was a Rank-2 spiritual vein. Every year, cultivating the Jade Blood Carp and planting the Jade Bamboo allowed them to earn some Spirit Stones.


    However, as a large sect in the Eastern Wastelands, the reason why they sent their disciples here to develop more residences was not mainly to earn Spirit Stones, but to satisfy the desires of the upper-level ancestors.


    After being cooked by a chef, the Jade Blood Carps and the Jade Bamboo Shoots could be said to be delicious.


    After a Golden Core Perfected One from the Five Elements Sect ate these dishes once, he could no longer forget them. Coincidentally, the conditions in the Jade Cloud Lake were suitable for raising fish and planting bamboo, so he distributed this long-term mission in the sect.


    A Qi Refinement Level-9 cultivator named Liu Lengpei accepted this mission in order to accumulate Spirit Stones to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill. He had been stationed in the Jade Wave Mansion for 20


    years.


    He was conscientious. Every year, he bought fish fry, bamboo seeds, and even learned the skills of a Spiritual Value Beast Tamer just to show his face in front of the Golden Core Daoist.


    Then, Chen Mobai looked at the books regarding local customs on the bookshelf and finally knew where he was.


    This place was actually no longer on Planet Earth.


    Instead, it was a cultivation world called the Milky Way.


    It was no wonder that his phone could not receive a signal. He did not know if this ¡°Milky Way Realm¡± was far from Planet Earth.


    Chen Mobai quickly accepted this alternate world. After all, the highest level of the exploration war started by the immortal sect was to develop a new world.


    However, at this level of war, if one was not careful, their own world would be destroyed. Therefore, after knowing that he was in another cultivation world, he decided to be more careful and hide himself.


    But there was another problem.


    How had he come to be in this world?


    What exactly was that turtle shell?


    Based on the Flying Needle Sect¡¯s Disciple Manual from the brown-robed young man that he had read previously, it should be Year 6478 of the First Yuan Era. Meanwhile, the records written by Liu Lengpei, a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, stopped at Year 6425 of the First Yuan Era.


    le


    In other words, Liu Wanpei had left the water mansion for more than 50 years.


    The old man who claimed to be Liu Wanpei¡¯s disciple should know something, but he was already dead.


    Seeing that it was almost dawn, Chen Mobai took two books that he had never read before and prepared to go home.


    Then, he had an idea.


    ¡°Wait. Since I¡¯m no longer on Planet Earth, I¡¯m not afraid of the immortal sect investigating me.¡±


    Can¡¯t wait ReadMTL here ¨C> https://readmtl.com/novel/i-have-a-cultivation-world/

 Chapter 26 - Turtle Deity

    Chapter 26 Turtle Deity


    Chen Mobai took out his phone and clicked on the Turtle Treasure app.


    Just as he was about to press the (Agent] button that had lit up, he remembered something else.


    He exited the Turtle Treasure app, opened the National Library app, and logged out from his account first.


    ¡°I wonder if it¡¯ll work without logging in?¡±


    As he muttered to himself, Chen Mobai pressed the (Agent] button. Then, an interface popped up on the homepage of his phone.


    (Please select the app you would like to activate an agent for.]


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    Why was the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app chosen previously? Could it be that if he was currently using a certain app when the [Agent) function could be activated, an agent would be activated for that app? Meanwhile, he activated the function from the Turtle Treasure app, he would have to choose the app manually.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t think too much about it. He clicked on the icon of the ¡°National Library¡± app.


    Then, another interface popped up.


    [No account has been retrieved. The agent cannot be activated. Do you wish to create a new account?]


    There was actually such a function. This was quite reasonable!


    Chen Mobai selected (Yes).


    Then, when he was about to enter the account name, he thought for a while. The first thing that appeared in his mind was, ¡°I will make the flowers bloom at the same time.¡±


    It just happened to form a complete poem with his previous account, ¡°If I were the Qing Emperor!¡±


    However, after thinking about it, he felt that there was a possibility of being exposed. It was still not artistic.


    With a final flash of inspiration, he typed in two words. ¡°Turtle Deity!¡±


    After the new account was registered, the agent was launched.


    He saw a cute little turtle appear in the center of the ¡°National Library¡± app that he had clicked on. After spinning around, it disappeared into his user profile picture in the upper right corner.


    However, this time, the situation was different from the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± agent. The little turtle crawled around his head with difficulty. It seemed that the protection of the ¡°National Library¡± app far exceeded the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app and could not be overcome easily.


    In the end, it raised his permissions and almost four halos appeared. Then, the small turtle could no longer crawl and disappeared.


    He was a Level-3 user.


    This represented a Golden Core Perfected One.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he felt a little disappointed.


    This Turtle Treasure app was not omnipotent. It seemed that there was a power in the immortal sect that could suppress him.


    However, this was just right. If he was a Level-4 user, the immortal sect would definitely be able to find out immediately that there was something wrong with this new user, ¡°Turtle Deity¡±.


    After all, the entire immortal sect had famous Venerable Nascent Souls. It was too suspicious for a mysterious Turtle Deity to suddenly appear.


    Suppressing his thoughts, Chen Mobai excitedly opened the ¡°National Library¡± app that had been successfully represented with an agent.


    He didn¡¯t know how his Level-3 permissions differed from his previous Level-1 permissions.


    There was no difference in the interface.


    He read the user description. He had only read the introduction, but his eyes lit up.


    A Level-1 user would not have much choice in the face of the National Library. They could only look at whatever cultivation technique was provided to them. Meanwhile, Level-3 users had great freedom.


    As long as one filled in their thoughts, their expected goals, and even the resources they had, the artificial primordial spirit of the National Library would integrate various. conditions. Then, 30 cultivation techniques based on the 84,000 Daoist books in the library would be arranged according to priority.


    In some ways, 95% of the National Library was already open to Level-3 users.


    After all, above that, there were only a handful of Level-4 users, who were Venerable Nascent Souls. There were only a handful of books and cultivation techniques that were useful to them.


    Chen Mobai suppressed the excitement in his heart, clicked on his Spiritual Root attribute in the input bar, and then pressed the search button.


    In an instant, 30 cultivation techniques appeared.


    There were five techniques in each row, with a total of six rows.


    The first cultivation technique listed was still the Five Elements Technique!


    Chen Mobai opened it and saw that it was the complete version. He could use this version and cultivate the Five Elements Technique to the Nascent Soul Realm. He was about to download it when an interface notification popped up.


    [Not enough points. Unable to download.]


    It seemed that no matter how high-leveled a user was, they could not freeload.


    Level-3 users could get a 30% discount, but Turtle Deity was a new account with no points at all.


    However, Chen Mobai did not intend to take advantage of everything. Hence, his mentality was very balanced. He exited the interface of the Five Elements Technique and continued reading the rest of the techniques.


    He looked at the ¡°Infinite Technique¡±, the ¡°Water Flower Sword Scripture¡±, the ¡°Great Dark Yin Technique¡±, the ¡°Nine Melodies Diagram¡±, the ¡°Book of Ten Thousand Rivers¡±, the ¡°Pure Jade Scripture¡±, and the ¡°Pure Yang Manual¡±¡­


    Each cultivation technique was more famous than the last. Furthermore, the more he progressed, the more outrageous it became. The Pure Jade Scripture was the highest technique of the Taiyuan Academy. It was also the only seven Essence Soul techniques in the immortal sect that could be cultivated.


    The Pure Yang Manual was not inferior either. It was the supreme technique of the Pure Yang Academy and also an Essence Soul technique.


    However, after reading the recommended cultivation techniques, Chen Mobai understood something.


    All techniques returned to their origin.


    Although there were 84,000 Dao books in the National Library, these Dao books were basically derived from the seven Essence Soul cultivation techniques. No matter what kind of Spiritual Root one had, if one wanted to achieve the Great Dao, one still had to walk along one of these seven paths.


    Chen Mobai was now a Level-3 user, so the artificial primordial spirit gave him cultivation techniques that could be cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm at the bare minimum. Moreover, it tacitly agreed that he had a trace of potential to cultivate the Essence Soul. Therefore, according to the attributes of his Spiritual Root, the Pure Jade Scripture and the Pure Yang Manual were included among the 30 cultivation techniques.


    Among them, the Pure Jade Scripture could be said to be the ultimate version of the Five Elements Technique. It did not have a high requirement for the attributes of the Spiritual Root. It was even best if the five elements were balanced.


    However, the difficulty of cultivating the Pure Jade Scripture was extremely high. Only after cultivating the Nascent Soul Realm could one comprehend it.


    Therefore, after Chen Mobai clicked on it excitedly, he realized that he didn¡¯t have sufficient permissions. Thus, he could only read the introduction and table of contents.


    Losing interest, he read the introduction of the 30 cultivation techniques from beginning to end, wanting to find the one that suited him the best.


    The Infinite Technique was a cultivation technique of the Nature Academy. The Dharmic powers cultivated were pure and boundless. One could be said to be invincible in a battle against an opponent of the same realm. However, it required a huge amount of spiritual energy and the cultivation speed was slow.


    Meanwhile, the Water Flower Sword Scripture was a sword cultivation technique of the Mountain Sea Academy. It condensed water into a sword and refined it into an array. After the array was formed, it would be easy to fight against many enemies alone. If the battle was in water, the user would be invincible.


    From the introductions alone, each cultivation technique was more powerful than the last, making Chen Mobai, who had difficulty choosing, very hesitant.


    However, he was immediately relieved.


    After all, he had zero points in his new account, ¡°Turtle Deity¡±.


    Thus, he could not download any of these 30 cultivation techniques.


    However, even his main account, ¡°If I were the Qing Emperor!¡±, only had more than 3,000 points, which meant that he had only spent 3,000 Karma Points since he was young. Nearly 1,000 of these points were added when he bought the Green Arrow Talismans and the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water online a few days ago.


    He had no choice. There really wasn¡¯t much he needed to spend money on.


    Chen Mobai clicked on the last cultivation technique, the Pure Yang Manual.


    Although this cultivation technique was also an Essence Soul cultivation technique, compared to the high threshold of the Jade Pure Scripture, it was progressive and the advancement path was very clear.

 Chapter 27 - Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending

    Chapter 27 Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending


    The Pure Yang Manual was divided into five major chapters, from Level-1 to Level-5. They corresponded to the five major realms of Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Soul Formation.


    Moreover, the rarest thing was that the Pure Yang Manual didn¡¯t have high requirements for Spiritual Root attributes.


    However, there was only one threshold.


    That was to cultivate a matching Dao Body.


    This Dao Body was called the Pure Yang Avatar!


    The cultivation of the Pure Yang Avatar was also divided into levels, namely from One-Yang to Nine-Yang, with a threshold every three levels. Only when the avatar was perfected would it be a ¡°Pure Yang Avatar¡±.


    For example, if one wanted to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had to first master the Three-Yang Body.


    Meanwhile, if one wanted to achieve the Core Formation Realm, they needed a Six-Yang Body.


    To advance to the Nascent Soul Realm, one had to first have a Nine-Yang Body.


    When Chen Mobai saw this, he discovered a familiar point.


    Wasn¡¯t the Three-Yang Body the Spiritual Root enhancement technique that Old Man Ding had bitterly cultivated when he was young? It was no wonder that the Pure Yang Academy directly recruited him after he mastered it.


    Unfortunately, Old Ding did not succeed in achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm at the end.


    But wasn¡¯t this Three-Yang Body a Dao Body? What did it have to do with improving his Spiritual Root?


    Chen Mobai was puzzled and wanted to continue reading, but he realized that he didn¡¯t have enough points. He could only read the outline and table of contents in the Pure Yang Manual. He couldn¡¯t read the specific cultivation method of the Three-Yang Body.


    He cursed silently. However, he had another idea.


    He opened the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app and entered the ¡°Pure Yang Avatar¡± in the search bar.


    As expected, all techniques returned to their origin.


    More than 200 pages of search results appeared. It seemed that there were many people in the entire immortal sect who cultivated the Pure Yang Manual.


    Chen Mobai opened a video at the top of the search page. It was uploaded by a Core Formation Perfected One with the name ¡°Shao Yang.¡±


    ¡°Although this Pure Yang Avatar is a cultivation of the Dao Body, it is based on the Spiritual Root.¡±


    ¡°The difficulty of cultivating the Pure Yang Manual is actually on par with the Pure Jade Scripture. However, after Patriarch Yuan Yang became a Soul Formation cultivator, he felt that the Great Dao was difficult, so he created the cultivation method of the Pure Yang Avatar for the Pure Yang Manual, greatly reducing the threshold of cultivation.¡±


    ¡°From the First-Yang Body to the Nine-Yang Body, the Pure Yang Avatar requires 27 wood attribute points, 27 water attribute points, and ideally at least 20 fire attribute points in one¡¯s Spiritual Root. This way, when the technique is perfected, one can basically be sure that they will have a Immortal Spiritual Root with 100 fire attribute points.¡±


    After listening to Daoist Shao Yang¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai understood why the Three-Yang Body was also a Spiritual Root enhancement technique.


    It turned out that the cultivation threshold of the original ¡°Pure Yang Manual¡± was also very high. It required one to be born in a specific year, month, day, and time. Furthermore only a baby with a pure Yang body could cultivate it.


    Ever since the immortal sect established its orthodoxy on Planet Earth, the upper echelons had calculated the time and date of birth, making the cultivators below work hard to have children. There were also many children with pure Yang bodies.


    One of them was Patriarch Yuan Yang, who had founded the Pure Yang Academy.


    However, he was also a great sage who was obsessed with nurturing his descendants and buried his head in the education industry. In order to spread the Pure Yang Dao to the world and allow most cultivators to cultivate it, he created the cultivation method of the Pure Yang Body.


    It was the Pure Yang Avatar!


    Patriarch Yuan Yang came from the Heaven Mending Dao College and had personally experienced the power of the ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending¡±. He had been inspired by it.


    The ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending¡± was comprehended by the first-generation Patriarch of the immortal sect from the Upper World¡¯s Heavenly Book. Once used, it could reconstruct the Spiritual Root attributes of a cultivator. It was indeed heaven-defying.


    Take the attributes of Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Root before he ate the Green Blood Carp for example.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Root attribute values were: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 25, Fire 17, and Earth 10.


    The attribute points of the five attributes added up to exactly 100 points. This was assigned by the heavens, so it could only depend on luck.


    Meanwhile, ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending¡± could allow one to artificially change this point allocation later on.


    In layman¡¯s terms, one¡¯s attribute points would be reshuffled.


    If Chen Mobai used ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending¡±, he could specify a certain attribute and then assign the points from the remaining four attributes to the chosen attributes.


    For example, if he liked the wood attribute the most, he could turn the 23 metal attribute points, 23 water attribute points, 17 fire attribute points, and the 10 earth attribute points into neutral attribute points. Then, he would distribute them all to the wood attribute and simply have a perfect wood-attribute Heaven Spiritual Root with 100 wood attribute points.


    There was another term for this 100-point Spiritual Root in the immortal sect. It was called the ¡°Immortal Spiritual Root¡±.


    Such a person had never been born. It could only be achieved using ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending¡±. Patriarch Yuan Yang had obtained the baptism of ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending¡± and reconstructed his Spiritual Root into an Immortal Spiritual Root with 100 fire attribute points.


    With the ¡°Immortal Spiritual Root¡± and the ¡°Pure Yang Body¡±, he cultivated extremely quickly.


    In just 500 years, he had cultivated his Essence Soul. He was the fastest Soul Formation Patriarch in the history of the immortal sect to do so.


    Unfortunately, only Soul Formation Patriarchs could use this immortal technique, and it would consume a lot of vitality.


    Therefore, no one had had such a blessing in the past 1,000 years.


    Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Mobai finished watching the video of Daoist Shao Yang explaining the Pure Yang Body. Only then did he understand why he needed 27 wood attribute points, 27 water attribute points, and ideally at least 20 fire attribute points in one¡¯s Spiritual Root.


    The way of the heavens was to take what was left and to make up for what was lacking.


    The cultivation of this Pure Yang Avatar used the water and wood attributes to make up for the fire attribute.


    According to the theory of the five elements, his water Spiritual Root would be transformed into a wood Spiritual Root. Then, the wood Spiritual Root would be transformed into a fire Spiritual Root. In the end, he would achieve an effect similar to ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending¡±.


    The cultivation of each level was determined by the cultivator¡¯s talent, comprehension, and resources. At most, they could lose three water attribute points and three wood attribute points at every level. However, in the end, they could experience an increase of nine fire attribute points by using the Pure Yang Manual.


    If one achieved the Nine-Yang Body and was lucky enough to convert nine points every time, even a cultivator without a fire Spiritual Root would eventually have a Heaven Spiritual Root with 81 fire attribute points.


    If he already had 20 fire attribute points in their Spiritual Root, with the two stacked together, his fire attribute points would increase to 100, raising his Spiritual Root to an immortal fire Spiritual Root.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel excited. He looked at the attributes of his Spiritual Root.


    He had exactly 20 wood attribute points. Meanwhile, he originally had 23 water attribute points, but after the Jade Blood Carps, he now had 30 water attribute points. This perfectly met the requirements to cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar.


    He looked at his fire attribute points. He had 17 points.


    This was like a fly in the ointment.


    When he achieved the Nine-Yang Body, it would add up to exactly 98 points. He was just two points way from achieving an Immortal Spiritual Root.


    Chen Mobai had already imagined himself mastering the Pure Yang Body, achieving the Soul Formation Realm, sweeping through the world, and becoming a revered ancestor.


    Then, he watched a few cultivation videos on the Three-Yang Body. In an instant, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.


    ¡°The fastest to cultivate the Three-Yang Body was a cultivator called Ming Yang. He spent 12 years. Then, he used 39 years to cultivate the Six-Yang Body. In the end, he cultivated for 86 years to cultivate the Nine-Yang Body. However, at that time, his lifespan was already insufficient, and he was unable to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. In the end, he died of old age.¡±

 Chapter 28 - Yuan Yang Sword

    Chapter 28 Yuan Yang Sword


    Although Planet Earth had entered a cultivation civilization and everyone¡¯s lifespan had greatly increased, there was still a limit.


    The Imperial Medicine Palace had also done a lot of research on the lifespan of humans.


    After sampling the lifespan of 100,000 ordinary cultivators, the lifespan of every cultivator was determined.


    Qi Refinement Realm cultivators basically had a lifespan of 120 years.


    Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators had a lifespan of 240 years.


    Meanwhile, Golden Core Realm cultivators had a lifespan of 480 years.


    Lastly, the lifespan of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators was double that of Golden Core Realm cultivators at 960 years.


    Of course, this data was not absolute. It would vary from person to person, but that was how long a normal cultivator¡¯s lifespan was.


    If one cultivated a special cultivation technique, used a nourishing technique, or consumed a life-prolonging spirit medicine, it was possible for them to live for another 60 years.


    As for Soul Formation cultivators, due to the scarcity of examples and the lack of sufficient samples, the Imperial Medicine Palace did not announce their lifespan.


    However, according to the previous lifespan pattern, they should have a lifespan of 1,920 years. This was a lifespan of almost 2,000 years.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s biggest dream was to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of 60.


    The Imperial Medicine Palace had also done research on cultivators breaking through to the next realm. The conclusion was that the success rate of breaking through was the highest when one¡¯s age was less than half of their expected lifespan.


    For example, if a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator wanted to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was best to do so before the age of 60. This was the final peak of the human body. After this age, no matter how much one maintained their Qi Refinement cultivation, all kinds of bodily functions would begin to decline greatly.


    Initially, Chen Mobai felt that he only had a 1% chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of 60. Now, although he had the opportunity to obtain the mysterious turtle shell, he felt that there was only a 10% chance.


    There were 300 million cultivators in the entire immortal sect.


    One in 100 cultivators could cultivate to Qi Refinement Level-9.


    Among the Qi Refinement Level-9 cultivators, only the cream of the crop cultivators could successfully reach the Foundation Establishment Realm. After analyzing the data from these successful Foundation Establishment cultivator samples, the Imperial Medicine Palace discovered that more than 90% of them were young people who had reached the Foundation Establishment realm before the age of 60.


    Once one passed the age of 60, their blood essence and spirit would be insufficient. Those who successfully achieved the Foundation Establishment Realm afterwards either had an opportunity or were blessed by the heavens.


    Achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm was already so difficult, but advancing to the Core Formation Realm was even more difficult. The success rate of this realm was one in a thousand.


    Needless to say, there might not even be one Nascent Soul cultivator in several eras.


    The current Venerable Nascent Soul was a veteran who had emerged after 1,000 years and 100 eras.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s aptitude was average. He had no confidence in achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of 60. If he spent another ten years cultivating the Three-Yang Body, he felt that he would basically be done for.


    Therefore, although the Pure Yang Manual was very rare, after summarizing various considerations, he felt that he should cultivate the Five Elements Technique obediently.


    The good example, Master Qing Ping, was right in front of him. With this most common Qi Refinement-Realm cultivation technique, if he could reach the Nascent Soul Realm, he would switch to cultivating the Pure Jade Scripture. It would not be a bad path to immortality.


    Meanwhile, Old Ding was a bad example. His experience was to be taken as an warning.


    After persuading himself in his heart, Chen Mobai resisted the urge to log into his main account and exchange points for the Pure Yang Manual afterwards.


    However, even though he thought so, he could not help but download the video of Daoist Shao Yang explaining the cultivation of the ¡°Pure Yang Avatar¡±.


    At least he could kill time in class today.


    ¡°It happens to be Old Ding¡¯s class today. I¡¯ll ask him about the Three-Yang Body.¡±


    As Chen Mobai muttered to himself, he pressed on the Return to City button.


    In the teacher¡¯s office.


    ¡°Teacher Ding, you were a disciple of Pure Yang College. I wonder what¡¯s the difference between this college and the four major Dao Colleges?¡±


    After class, Chen Mobai followed his old pattern and was a step behind. When he turned into the teacher¡¯s office to ask how to break the lightning restriction, he pretended to be curious and asked casually.


    ¡°Actually, according to the size of the students and the strength of the teachers, the top ten academies are already no different from the four major Dao Colleges.¡±


    Old Ding was a good teacher. After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s question, he told him what he knew.


    ¡°In that case, do they differ in terms of cultivation techniques?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, wanting to steer the topic to the Pure Yang Manual.


    ¡°The Taiyuan Academy and Pure Yang Academy also have Soul Formation techniques. Their techniques are on par with the inheritances of the four Dao Colleges.¡±


    Old Ding shook his head.


    ¡°Then what exactly is the difference?¡±


    Chen Mobai did not dare to mention the Pure Yang Avatar, so he could only follow Old Ding¡¯s words.


    ¡°The legacy of the four top Dao Colleges is the oldest, and each of them has a Soul Formation foundation. Meanwhile, the founders of the ten top academies are basically all from the four top Dao Colleges, so even if they surpass them for a moment, they still abide by their duty and don¡¯t dare to call themselves the fifth Dao College.¡±


    ¡°Then what are the Soul Formation foundations of the four top Dao Colleges?¡±


    There were all kinds of speculations on the Internet. Chen Mobai thought that Old Ding knew about it, so he continued to ask in order to bring the topic back to the Pure Yang Academy.


    ¡°They¡¯re all top secret. Only those at the top know the exact situation. However, there are two Exalted Ones in the immortal sect. One is from the Dance Dao College, while the other studied at the Heaven Mending Dao College when he was young. He¡¯s still the nominal honorary dean of the Heaven Mending Dao College.¡±


    Everyone knew the origins of the two Soul Formation Patriarchs.


    ¡°However, I know that the Pure Yang Academy has a superior-grade Rank-5 Yuan Yang Sword. It can also be classified as a Soul Formation foundation!¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was worrying about how to change the topic, Old Ding started to talk about what happened at the Pure Yang Academy.


    ¡°In the entire immortal sect, there are only three superior-grade Rank-5 flying swords. The Yuan Yang Sword was only refined after Patriarch Yuan Yang burned his entire Dao Fruit before he passed away. It is intelligent.¡±


    ¡°Patriarch Yuan Yang¡¯s eldest disciple once controlled this intelligent flying sword. Anyone below the Soul Formation Realm can be killed with one strike.¡±


    ¡°However, refining this sword requires at least the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm. Moreover, if you refine it for a long time, it will greatly damage your essence energy and is not conducive to cultivation. Therefore, when I entered the academy, this sword had already been sealed to be worshiped in the hall. I was lucky enough to worship it once.¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard this, he felt sad.


    A superior-grade Rank-5 flying sword was actually sealed because no one refined it.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it said that those who cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar are filled with essence energy? Why can¡¯t they refine the Yuan Yang Sword?¡±


    ¡°One still has to completely master the Pure Yang Avatar. Even the Venerable Nascent Soul with the Nine-Yang Body can¡¯t withstand the absorption of spiritual energy from the Yuan Yang Sword every day and night. If one doesn¡¯t even have enough spiritual energy to cultivate, how can they give half of their spiritual energy to the flying sword?¡±


    Old Ding rolled his eyes. What he said made Chen Mobai instantly empathize.


    If it were him, he would definitely not agree to give half of his spiritual power he painstakingly absorbed and cultivated every day to the Yuan Yang Sword before he completed his Great Dao.


    In addition, this Yuan Yang Sword could only be refined by a Nascent Soul expert, and a Nascent Soul expert would make advancing to the Soul Formation Realm their first goal. How could they waste half of their cultivation time on a flying sword?


    ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that if a Dharma treasure isn¡¯t provided with spiritual energy for a long time, its grade will drop? In that case, wouldn¡¯t it be a waste of Patriarch Yuan Yang¡¯s sacrifice?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, every Rank-5 Dharma treasure is a Material Cultural Heritage item of the immortal sect. Every year, the immortal sect will allocate a sum of Spirit Stones from the National Bank to let the Pure Yang Academy nurture the Yuan Yang Sword so that it won¡¯t drop in grade. Unfortunately, this sum of Spirit Stones is specialized and can only be used exclusively. Otherwise, the Pure Yang Academy can at least save half the time of the students who cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar.¡±

 Chapter 29 - Insufficient Points

    Chapter 29 Insufficient Points


    ¡°Can Spirit Stones also shorten the time needed to cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief.


    ¡°The ¡®Pure Yang Avatar¡¯ is actually a type of cultivation technique, and no cultivation technique can lack spiritual energy. The reason why I spent 20 years cultivating the Three-Yang Body is because I wasted time refining spiritual energy when transforming my Spiritual Root. With the help of Spirit Stones, I would have been able to save at least 10 years of hard work.¡±


    Old Ding did not hide anything and told Chen Mobai about his 20 years of experience in the academy.


    It turned out that when one cultivated the Pure Yang Avatar, they also needed spiritual energy to transform their Spiritual Root. Without Spirit Stones, when their spiritual energy was exhausted, they would need to convert and absorb spiritual energy at the same time.


    Why didn¡¯t Daoist Shao Yang¡¯s video mention this?


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but find it strange, but he immediately reacted.


    The Spirit Stones on Planet Earth had basically all been taken back by the country. Ordinary cultivators did not have them at all.


    Since they didn¡¯t have Spiritual Stones, there was naturally no need to talk about them.


    In that case, the Pure Yang Manual was not impossible for Chen Mobai to cultivate.


    There was indeed no way to obtain a large number of Spirit Stones in the Immortal Sect, but it was different in the Heavenly River Realm.


    According to the Jade Wave Mansion Accounts that Chen Mobai had read, the cultivation world there did not seem to lack Spirit Stones. Even a third-rate sect like the Flying Needle Sect could distribute Spirit Stones to every disciple as a benefit.


    However, if he wanted to obtain Spirit Stones, he had to leave the water mansion and come into contact with the true cultivation world in the Heavenly River Realm.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai hesitated again.


    He thought of the two Heavenly River Realm cultivators who had died in the water mansion not long ago. It seemed normal for them to turn on others and stab others in the back. Their words also told of the chaos and disorder in the Eastern Wastelands.


    The Heavenly River Realm should still be in the era of feudal civilization. There might be danger everywhere.


    He might be beaten to death as soon as he left the water mansion.


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself and asked how many Spirit Stones were needed to cultivate the ¡°Pure Yang Avatar¡±.


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure. After all, I only heard Senior mention this matter back then and didn¡¯t personally experience it. I might have to look up some ancient books to confirm it.¡±


    Old Ding frowned and shook his head.


    About 5,000 years ago, Spirit Stones were still circulating normally in the market. In that era, there were cultivators who used Spirit Stones to cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar. However, it might take some effort to find such ancient information.


    Chen Mobai nodded and decided to go back and look for it. If he didn¡¯t need many Spirit Stones, he would consider switching to the Pure Yang Manual after reaching the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm.


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    At that moment, there was a knock on the door.


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    As soon as Old Ding finished speaking, his disciple, Song Zheng, opened the door.


    ¡°Teacher.¡±


    At the door, Song Zheng bowed to Old Ding politely. Then, he looked at Chen Mobai and frowned slightly, as if wondering why he was here. ¡°Teacher Ding, I¡¯ll ask you about the lightning restriction next time.¡±


    Chen Mobai was also very observant and did not stay any longer, disturbing their conversation.


    Although they were classmates, his relationship with Song Zheng was only so-so. It was mainly because the latter was a hardworking person and would not waste time on socializing. They both nodded as a greeting. After leaving the office, before the first batch of third-year students in the cultivation room came out, Chen Mobai returned to the classroom. He turned on his phone and typed in the keyword, searching for the relationship between the Pure Yang Avatar and Spirit Stones.


    In the end, he found a relevant post on a forum.


    The title of the post was: ¡°How long does it take to master the Pure Yang Avatar?¡±


    It seemed that a new student of Pure Yang Academy was asking for guidance from his seniors.


    There were more than 50 replies to the post, and one of them was from a Pure Yang Academy student with a good family background. He mentioned that using Spirit Stones could shorten the time needed to cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar.


    [My ancestors participated in the exploration war and stored some Spirit Stones in the bank. After I entered the Pure Yang Academy, my family was very excited, so they took them all out for me to cultivate. Based on my experience, I have some data for reference.]


    (For a One-Yang Body, if you want the best results in transforming your Spiritual Root, you need nine Spirit Stones. These nine Spirit Stones are used in accordance with the order in which your Spiritual Root is transformed. This way, the effect will be the best. Basically, you can increase your fire attribute points by nine points in the end. This stage takes a month.]


    [A Two-Yang Body requires a lot more Spirit Stones. Because I don¡¯t have enough Spirit Stones at home, I had to refine spiritual energy to pass this stage. In the end, it took me a year and three months.]


    (Due to the fact that I had no Spirit Stones when working towards the Three-Yang Body, I had to cultivate diligently and sat idle for six years before achieving success.)


    This anonymous cultivator was five years shorter than Perfected One Ming Yang, who had cultivated the Pure Yang Avatar for the shortest time without using Spirit Stones.


    Chen Mobai was instantly tempted.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take a look outside the water mansion first. If I can get Spirit Stones, I¡¯ll try to cultivate.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who had originally planned to rest in peace, could not hold back.


    After all, there were only two months left until the college entrance examination. His chances of breaking through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm were very slim. If he could master the One-Yang Body, he might be able to obtain an admission notice from Pure Yang Academy. At the thought of this, he could not help but log into his main account in the National Library. However, he was reminded that he did not have enough points and could not exchange for the Qi Refinement chapter of the Pure Yang Manual.


    ¡°Eh, why does a Qi Refinement cultivation technique require so many points?¡±


    In Chen Mobai¡¯s impression, the Qi Refinement chapter of the Five Elements Technique only cost 500 points. He had more than 3,000 points in his main account, so it should be more than enough to exchange for the Qi Refinement chapter of the Pure Yang Manual.


    In the end, he realized that he needed 10,000 points.


    Then, he looked at the next four chapters. Good God.


    The Foundation Establishment chapter cost 100,000 points, the Core Formation chapter cost 1 million points, the Nascent Soul chapter cost 10 million points, and the Soul Formation chapter cost 100 million points. Moreover, one needed the corresponding level of permissions to download it.


    For example, Chen Mobai¡¯s main account in the National Library, ¡°If I were the Qing Emperor!¡±, was certified as a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator. Even if he had 100 million points in his account, he could only download the Qi Refinement Chapter of the Pure Yang Manual.


    ¡°I¡¯ll sell that Spirit Stone first. Coincidentally, Goumang Dao College will put up the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water every day during this period of time. I¡¯ll use my Karma Points to buy it. At that time, I¡¯ll use the spiritual water to increase my cultivation and use the points I earned to exchange for the Qi Cultivation chapter of the Pure Yang Manual.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s initiative was typically average, he had always been decisive when it came to his cultivation.


    The Spirit Stone was like firewood in his hand. It was only valuable when used.


    He decided that under the premise of breaking through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, he would cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar if possible.


    One of the two Spirit Stones he had obtained from the water mansion had been consumed when he broke through to Qi Refinement Level-6. There was still a complete and unopened one left. If he went to the National Bank to exchange it, he would receive 10,000 Karma Points.


    If it was placed on the market, due to the short supply, it could be sold for at least one to two thousand Karma Points.

 Chapter 30 - Spirit Stone Exchange

    Chapter 30 Spirit Stone Exchange


    However, in the end, Chen Mobai decided to exchange the Spiritual Stone at the bank.


    There was no other reason.


    This was because the immortal sect would give him points if he exchanged the Spirit Stone at the bank.


    They would give as many points as the amount of Karma Points he would receive. The points system was originally developed by the immortal sect in order to collect all the Spirit Stones from the commoners and nationalize them.


    After exchanging a Spirit Stone, the bank would give him 10,000 points. After spending it, another 10,000 points would be credited, which gave him double the profit.


    After school, he walked into the National Bank¡¯s Danxia City branch.


    ¡°Hello, sir. How may I help you?¡±


    In the bank, a short-haired young lady in a uniform with a sweet smile immediately walked over and asked kindly when she saw Chen Mobai standing in front of the machine that issued queue numbers.


    ¡°The matter I want to handle doesn¡¯t seem to be available.¡±


    ¡°May I ask, sir, what business do you require?¡¯


    ¡°I want to exchange a Spirit Stone.¡±


    ¡°Sir, I¡¯m sorry, but the service to exchange for Spirit Stones hasn¡¯t been opened yet.¡±


    The short-haired girl¡¯s smile didn¡¯t waver. She looked apologetic.


    ¡°No, you¡¯ve misunderstood. I want to exchange a Spirit Stone, not exchange for a Spirit Stone.¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­¡±


    After she reacted, her smile suddenly became stiff. When Chen Mobai saw this, he couldn¡¯t help but shrug.


    It took her two or three seconds to gather her wits enough to speak carefully for confirmation.


    ¡°Um, would you like to exchange Spirit Stones for Karma Points?¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°Excuse me, please come this way and sit for a moment. I¡¯ll get the manager.¡±


    The short-haired girl immediately raised her hand and led Chen Mobai to a small room separated by transparent glass. After he sat down, she poured him a cup of tea.


    At this moment, a man in a suit who had received the news walked over. After entering, he first extended his hand to Chen Mobai and introduced himself.


    ¡°Hello, sir. I¡¯m¡­¡±


    An hour later, Chen Mobai walked out of the bank with a satisfied expression.


    The exchange of Spirit Stones had always been the top task of the bank. Chen Mobai took out his Spirit Stones for the other party to appraise. After confirming that it had never been used, the rest of the processes were much more convenient.


    First, Chen Mobai explained the origin of this Spirit Stone.


    Chen Mobai brought up his ancestor again. He said that his ancestor had saved it when he was participating in the war. Now, it was in his hands.


    The bank would just record it and wouldn¡¯t really investigate.


    After confirming that Chen Mobai was a good citizen and that there was no problem with his application, he went through the process.


    Although Chen Mobai only needed to sit and someone would help him complete the procedures, it still took him a full hour to transfer the Karma Points and points to his account.


    Chen Mobai had originally wanted to exchange the empty shell of the Spirit Stone that he had used. The immortal sect had the technology to inject spiritual energy into Spirit Stones, so he thought that the bank would also buy it.


    However, the man in the suit told him that this service was the same as exchanging points for Spirit Stones. It would only be available when there was a war.


    Chen Mobai could only feel that this was a pity.


    However, looking at the five-digit account balance displayed in the latest text message on his phone, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    He¡¯d never had so many Karma Points.


    However, he did not get carried away. After being happy, he first exchanged for the Qi Refinement chapter of the Pure Yang Manual from the National Library using his main account. However, it was not convenient to read it on the road, so he could only take a look.


    When he was about to reach home, he saw the pharmacy where he bought the spiritual power test paper last time.


    The cultivation of the Three-Yang Body would transform one¡¯s Spiritual Root, and the extent of the transformation depended on one¡¯s spiritual energy and luck. It was best to be able to monitor the values at all times.


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and walked in.


    ¡°Hello ¡­ Oh, you¡¯re here?¡±


    He saw that there was no one at the counter and was about to shout when the young woman in the white nurse¡¯s uniform he had seen last time came out of the back door. She was holding a large iron pot and a large box of small glass tubes.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve set up a small array formation at the door. If anyone comes in, the alchemy room will automatically prompt me.¡±


    When the girl saw that it was Chen Mobai, she recalled what had happened last time. She first placed the things in her hands on the counter, then cast a Cleaning Spell to remove the smell of medicine from her body before walking over to greet him.


    She was still wearing a mask, so her face could not be seen clearly. However, her eyebrows were elegant, and her eyes were clear. After meeting her eyes, Chen Mobai¡¯s mind calmed down. The impatience in his heart, which had suddenly become rich, had unknowingly dissipated.


    ¡°What would you like to buy? Are you buying spiritual power test papers again?¡±


    ¡°No. Do you have a spiritual testing instrument?¡±


    ¡°This stuff is expensive. Do you run a cram school?¡±


    The girl looked at Chen Mobai with confusion in her eyes. The spiritual power test paper was a one-time use item, but the spirit testing instrument was different. It could be used all the time. Usually, only those who ran cultivation tuition classes for children would buy this thing. After all, they had to use it in large quantities and teach the children according to their talent.


    ¡°I want to cultivate a technique to improve my Spiritual Root. I need to constantly check my Spiritual Root attribute points.¡±


    ¡°A technique to improve your Spiritual Root? Does such a cultivation technique exist?¡±


    The girl seemed to be about the same age as Chen Mobai. She had not gone to university yet, so she did not know the cultivation technique to purify her Spiritual Root.


    ¡°Yes, my Spiritual Root aptitude is ordinary. I¡¯m about to take the college entrance examination. My chances of breaking through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm are slim. I can only see if I can improve my Spiritual Root. I hope I can enter the top ten academies.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, the girl nodded and walked to a medicine cabinet. She squatted down and took out a well-wrapped spiritual testing instrument from the drawer.


    ¡°That¡¯ll be 580 Karma Points.¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard the price, the corners of his mouth twitched. He wondered if he had been too impulsive.


    The spiritual power test paper cost five Karma Points per piece. He could buy more than a hundred pieces with the cost of this spiritual testing instrument.


    However, after thinking about it, if he cultivated the Pure Yang Avatar, this was definitely indispensable. It was not very environmentally friendly to always use one-time spiritual power test papers. Thus, he gritted his teeth and bought it.


    When Qing N¨¹ saw Chen Mobai¡¯s conflicted expression as he paid, she knew that he was not from a rich family. A thought couldn¡¯t help but appear in her mind.


    ¡°Why isn¡¯t this person bargaining?¡±


    She had originally thought that if Chen Mobai bargained, she would give him a discount of 10 Karma Points.


    However, she would not take the initiative to return the money. When she saw the notification sound of her phone, alerting her that the money had entered her account, her clear eyes narrowed with laughter.


    After confirming that Chen Mobai had no other needs, she walked to the counter and picked up the large iron pot with one hand. She poured a pot of freshly refined spiritual water into the small glass tubes through a pitcher, then sealed the tubes with a wooden stopper. Finally, she used a ¡°Sealing Spell¡± to ensure that the spiritual water would not leak. Chen Mobai thought, ¡°Is it the Spirit Returning Water again?¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered what she had said last time and thought to himself. He did not ask. After all, he had only communicated with her twice and was not very familiar with her.


    With the spiritual testing instrument in hand, he walked straight out of the pharmacy door.


    However, he felt that there was something familiar about the scene of the girl infusing spiritual water.


    What exactly was it that struck him as familiar?

 Chapter 31 - The Truth Is Simple, The Fakes Are Long-Winded

    Chapter 31 The Truth Is Simple, The Fakes Are Long-Winded


    After returning home, Chen Mobai removed the packaging of the spiritual testing instrument and injected a stream of spiritual power to activate it. After confirming that it was functioning normally, he stuffed it into his small bag.


    However, he did not go to the water mansion immediately today.


    Instead, he took out his phone first and ordered some clothes.


    Since Chen Mobai planned to interact with the cultivators of the Heavenly River Realm, he naturally had to blend in with them first. His attire could not be too outstanding.


    Although his school uniform was also quite simple, it was completely different from the style of the old man and young man who had died in the water mansion last time. As he compared the available choices with the clothes of the two people in his memory, Chen Mobai chose a grayish-white ancient costume online.


    After placing the order for the ancient costume, he did not forget to buy shoes.


    Finally, he looked in the mirror and saw the incongruity again.


    His neat buzz-cut hairstyle did not match the ancient costume at all. He could only order two more sets of long wigs and some crown-binding hair accessories. Then, he was finally fully equipped.


    However, it would take at least two more days for the goods to arrive.


    Chen Mobai could only meditate in the water mansion today and could not go out.


    In a flash of silver, he was back in the Heavenly River Realm.


    Sensing the water spiritual energy around him that was several times denser than at home, he could not help but take a deep breath and sit on the meditation cushion.


    He took out his phone and started flipping through the Qi Refinement chapter of the Pure Yang Manual.


    The document began with a page of [Reading Instructions).


    Although all the cultivation techniques in the National Library were exchanged by cultivators with points, they could only be cultivated by themselves and not taught to others. If one agreed with this view, they could agree to the instructions and continue reading


    Chen Mobai naturally agreed. This could be considered a small Dao heart oath.


    If a cultivator violated the rules and gave the cultivation technique he downloaded to others to cultivate, it would go against his own intentions.


    The more the cultivation technique spread, the more obstacles the cultivator would face in the future.


    It was not a big deal when one¡¯s realm was low. However, once one reached the Core Formation Realm or the Nascent Soul Realm, it was very easy to trigger mental demons and fail.


    It was also because of this that although it was easy to obtain cultivation techniques and knowledge in the immortal sect, cultivators basically exchanged them with points or Karma Points.


    Chen Mobai first read the Qi Cultivation chapter of the Pure Yang Manual from beginning to end. He compared it with the Five Elements Technique he cultivated and realized that this was indeed more profound. He could not understand it completely.


    Of course, this might also be because Chen Mobai had watched Master Qing Ping¡¯s lecture videos several times recently and had a very thorough understanding of the Five Elements Technique.


    He still needed to attend class seriously.


    He opened the ¡°Auxiliary Cultivation¡± app and chose Daoist Shao Yang¡¯s column. He began to systematically learn about the Qi Cultivation chapter of the Pure Yang Manual by comparing it with the notes of this person.


    Just like the Black Water Technique, the Qi Cultivation chapter of the Pure Yang Manual had three accompanying spells, as well as the Three-Yang Body that could transform one¡¯s Spiritual Root.


    The Dharma spells were the Fire Lighting Spell, the Blaze Spell, and the Fireball Spell.


    The first topic was naturally the Three-Yang Body. This was the foundation of the foundation and the most important.


    After Chen Mobai listened to the lecture once, he instantly understood.


    As expected, the truth was simple, while fakes were long-winded. Under the detailed explanation of Daoist Shao Yang, Chen Mobai suddenly understood what he did not understand previously.


    When transforming one¡¯s Spiritual Root with the Three-Yang Body, one first needed to transform the water Spiritual Root into a wood Spiritual Root, and then transform the wood Spiritual Root into a fire Spiritual Root. The subtle difference between these two steps was that if Chen Mobai did not listen to Daoist Shao Yang¡¯s explanation, even if he succeeded, the efficiency of the transformation would definitely not be high.


    When Old Ding transformed his Spiritual Root with the One-Yang Body, it was because of this that the fire attribute points in his Spiritual Root only increased by six points in the end. Even though it was only three points away from the maximum nine points, it might be because of this three-point deviation that he failed to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Therefore, after Chen Mobai finished listening, in order to confirm that he had not missed anything, he found explanation videos from two Golden Core Daoists who cultivated the Pure Yang Manual. After comparing the content, he gained a lot.


    ¡°If I can break through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, it¡¯s not impossible to cultivate the Pure Yang Manual.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself. There were 84,000 Daoist books in the immortal sect. Although the Pure Yang Manual was not the first in terms of combat, and the cultivation speed was only average, it was still a promising path. Moreover, the predecessors were experienced. He could follow their experiences if he faced any obstacles and bottlenecks in cultivation. Thus, it was most suitable for people with high permissions like him.


    With that thought, his faith in getting out of the water mansion deepened.


    He had to earn enough Spirit Stones in the Heavenly River Realm.


    ¡°However, the most important thing now is to advance to Qi Refinement Level-7.¡±


    Perhaps because he had used Spirit Pills to break through, after Chen Mobai entered Qi Refinement Level-6, he did not feel as weak as when he had taken the Purple Fire Pill.


    However, he had always been a cautious person. He still used the Qi Nurturing Spell to cultivate for two days. It was only today when he felt the spiritual power in his meridians that he decided to take the ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡±.


    He opened the compartment of his bag and took out two glass tubes the length and thickness of his index fingers.


    The mouths of the tubes were stoppered with a wooden cork, and there was a mouthful of colorless liquid inside. It was the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water.


    Chen Mobai popped the cork and gulped the liquid down.


    The texture was like plain water, but it contained a faint bitter medicinal taste that he could not quite accept.


    After drinking it, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.


    As he circulated the Five Elements Techniques, his meridians and acupoints instantly felt hungry for spiritual energy. The dense spiritual energy in the water mansion rushed into Chen Mobai¡¯s body like wisps of smoke.


    Chen Mobai felt that the efficiency of his spiritual power cultivation had increased by nearly ten times. The water vein spiritual energy continuously gathered around him, vaguely turning into mist and causing his entire body to be shrouded in a hazy fog. However, a colorful and warm treasure light seeped out of his skin. It was the sign that he had cultivated the Five Elements Technique to a profound level.


    Ordinary late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators did not have such an aura when they circulated the Five Elements Technique.


    It was also because this was a middle-grade Rank-2 spiritual vein treasure land with abundant spiritual energy.


    If he was at home, at least half of the medicinal power of the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water would have been wasted.


    After six full cycles, the mist and spiritual energy around Chen Mobai began to slowly dissipate, and the efficiency of refining spiritual energy returned to normal.


    This meant that the medicinal power of the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water had been completely exhausted.


    He circulated two more cycles. He really could not stand the cultivation efficiency that was as slow as a turtle compared to before. Thus, he stopped and opened his eyes.


    ¡°Unfortunately, this thing needs to be snapped up. Although I exchanged the Spirit Stone for Karma Points I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll be lucky enough to get it.¡±


    Chen Mobai still had a bottle of Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water, but he could only take one bottle a day. He was prepared to put it back in his bag. However, just as his hand touched the glass tube containing the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water, his eyes suddenly widened.


    Wasn¡¯t this glass tube the same one that the young lady in the white nurse¡¯s uniform had used to store the liquid from the large iron pot at the pharmacy?!


    No wonder he found that scene familiar. He was familiar with this glass tube.


    What she sealed was not the ¡°Spirit Returning Water¡±, but the ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡±!


    Wasn¡¯t this thing sold directly by Goumang Dao Academy? Could her small pharmacy actually refine it?

 Chapter 32 - Chen Xinglan

    Chapter 32 Chen Xinglan


    The Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water was only a Rank-1 Spirit Pill.


    The pill formula was also written on the glass bottle. However, in the entire immortal sect, only cultivators from Goumang Dao Academy and the Imperial Medicine Palace could master the refinement.


    The girl in the white nurse¡¯s uniform had not gone to university yet. She was about the same age as Chen Mobai. She shouldn¡¯t have been the one to extract and mix it.


    Chen Mobai thought back to his two purchases at that pharmacy.


    The girl said she had a master who was an alchemist.


    She should be working as an assistant. The spirit water in the front was refined by her master, and she was the one who completed the final packing process. He happened to see


    it.


    Chen Mobai made this guess in his heart.


    He picked up the empty glass tube and put it in his bag.


    Then, he took out the needle case.


    It had been more than a month since he obtained this Dharma artifact. After knowing that it was controlled by magnetism, other than reading and studying, he was exploring the usage of this Dharma artifact in the cultivation room in school.


    Hard work paid off. He was basically familiar with the needle case and the 12 flying needles.


    When all three were fired, it was a normal attack.


    In this state, he only needed very little spiritual power to use the magnetic force of the needle box and perfectly control the flying needle. The flying needles could be fast or slow, and they could achieve the effect of a bullet at their fastest speed. He had tested it before. At this speed, the flying needles could easily penetrate the floor tiles of the water mansion.


    Chen Mobai could fire at most six needles.


    It was not that he could not control more, but that he could not do it with ease. Instead, the needles would interfere with one another and their power would decrease.


    However, he had never practiced the true power of this set of Dharma artifacts before, so he did not know.


    The immortal sect had been peaceful for a long time. If he wanted to test the power of the Dharma artifact, he could only go to those specialized clubs, but all of them charged a fee. Chen Mobai did not want to waste his Karma Points on this.


    After practicing with the needle case for a while, Chen Mobai was prepared to put it away when he suddenly thought of something


    He took out his phone again and entered the keywords for magnetism in the Auxiliary Cultivation app. As expected, he found a few documents that used spiritual power to control magnetism. There were even two demonstration videos.


    After spending two hours reading all the documents and watching all the videos, Chen Mobai learned a lot. When he used the needle case again, he was actually able to control eight flying needles at the same time.


    He felt that if he digested all the experiences of controlling the magnetic force uploaded by others, it would only be a matter of time before he completely controlled the 12 flying needles.


    Unfortunately, it was almost dawn on Planet Earth. Chen Mobai had to rush to class.


    ¡°Sigh, I actually feel that going to school is dragging down my cultivation progress.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly understood why Yan Bingxuan had dropped out of school. After reaching the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, the free cultivation rooms provided by the school were no longer of much use, and knowledge could be slowly replenished after entering university.


    After all, in the immortal sect, one¡¯s cultivation realm was the most important.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the representatives of the Dao Colleges and academies would set questions on all four subjects during the college entrance examination and select students based on their performance, those late-stage Qi Refinement-Realm geniuses probably wouldn¡¯t have come to the school at all.


    ¡°I just don¡¯t know which section will be tested this year.¡±


    Everyone¡¯s college entrance examination papers were the same, but the college entrance examination scores were only the entry requirements for the various schools.


    Only when one¡¯s college entrance examination score was sufficient and one¡¯s realm met the lowest requirements could they choose to fill in certain Dao Colleges and academies as their choice.


    Then, there was also the entrance examination of the various Dao Colleges and academies. Half of them had tested on array formations last year.


    Chen Mobai felt that the probability of being issued a Dharma spell examination this year was very high. However, although he had chosen the Dharma Spell department, his results had always been neither good nor bad. Even if he managed to guess correctly, it would probably be useless.


    ¡°Sigh, I should think of a way to break through to Qi Refinement Level-7 first.¡±


    After breaking through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, no matter how bad their college entrance examination results were, they should be able to enter the last few schools in the ten top academies. It could be considered as bringing honor to their ancestors and making their parents happy for a long time.


    After returning to his room, Chen Mobai pretended to have just woken up. After washing up, he was about to go to school when he suddenly realized that his father was making breakfast in the kitchen.


    ¡°Eh, Dad, are you on leave? Didn¡¯t you say that the factory has been quite busy recently?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s father, Chen Xinglan, was a middle-aged man with a square face. He was neither tall nor short, fat nor thin. Although the father and son had not seen each other for long, their relationship was very good.


    ¡°You¡¯re up pretty early. I¡¯m almost done here. Go up and call your mother.¡±


    Chen Xinglan did not stop what he was doing. He turned off the stove and brought a pot of steamed yolk-filled buns to the dining table.


    ¡°Coming, coming. No need to call me.¡±


    Tang Pancui came down from the second floor with a basket of clothes that needed to be washed. Her voice reached them before she arrived.


    ¡°Son, how¡¯s your cultivation these days?¡±


    At the dining table, the family of three gathered together for a rare meal.


    Chen Xinglan casually asked about Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation situation. The latter did not hide anything and said that he had already broken through to Qi Refinement Level-6.


    ¡°Eh, didn¡¯t you just advance to Qi Refinement Level-5 during the summer vacation? How did you break through again in just a month?¡±


    Chen Xinglan had originally planned to ask his son about his cultivation and tell him the good news, but he did not expect Chen Mobai to give him the good news first. ¡°I think it was during the summer holidays. After I went to the temple in our hometown to offer incense, I felt enlightened. My understanding of the Five Elements Technique suddenly deepened.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were half-truths, but now that he said it, he felt that it might be necessary to return to his hometown during the winter vacation.


    Since the turtle shell belonged to that temple, perhaps the abbot who was fighting with his mother over the incense was an otherworldly expert.


    ¡°I told you. That temple is very spiritual. Our village chief¡¯s son was born almost out of breath¡­¡±


    Tang Pancui had completely forgotten that Chen Mobai had been hospitalized because of the turtle shell, and she had cursed at that temple. Instead, she began to talk non-stop about the legends she had heard about that temple when she was young.


    Meanwhile, Chen Xinglan did not want to listen to this at all. After he coughed lightly and interrupted, a Qi Refinement Level-9 aura erupted from his body.


    ¡°You broke through, Dad.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked excited.


    Chen Xinglan¡¯s aptitude was slightly better than his. He had 34 fire attribute points, which made it the top attribute. However, he failed the college entrance examination and studied for another year before being admitted to the local Crimson Afterglow Academy


    Unfortunately, he fell behind step by step. He stayed in the Crimson Afterglow Academy for ten years and barely broke through to Qi Refinement Level-7. Then, he had no choice but to join the army and explore the sea.


    However, fortune and misfortune came together. It was when he was exploring the sea that he met Tang Pancui. The two of them fell in love and became husband and wife.


    After ten years, Chen Xinglan brought Tang Pancui back to Danxia City. Then, Chen Mobai was born the next year.


    It was also the birth of the child that raised Chen Xinglan¡¯s mental state and allowed him to break through to Qi Refinement Level-8.


    Now that Chen Mobai was 18 years old, he had finally reached Qi Refinement Level-9. Next, he could start preparing for the Foundation Establishment Realm.

 Chapter 33 - Three Foundation Establishment Treasures

    Chapter 33 Three Foundation Establishment Treasures


    ¡°I¡¯m 57 years old this year. I¡¯m still three years away from the limit at the age of 60. Although I know that the possibility of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm is not high, this is the only chance I have in my life. I won¡¯t be satisfied until I take a gamble.¡±


    At the dining table, Chen Xinglan said regretfully.


    If any cultivator in the immortal sect broke through to Qi Refinement Level-9 before the age of 60, they would basically fight to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    ¡°Dad, I hope to see you become a true Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.¡±


    In the immortal sect, only after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm could one step into the true threshold of cultivation and be known as a ¡°true cultivator¡±.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that you broke through to Qi Refinement Level-9 too late. If you had broken through a few years earlier, you might have been able to prepare more.¡±


    As Tang Pancui spoke, she looked regretful.


    At Qi Refinement Level-9, one could activate their Qi and attempt to build a foundation. However, the success rate of breaking through would definitely be higher after reaching perfection in Qi Refinement Level-9.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. I know that my success rate is less than ten percent, but I have to try. After breaking through yesterday, I¡¯ve already agreed with my boss to resign. For the next three years, I¡¯ll go to the Crimson Afterglow Academy to cultivate in seclusion and use up my chance to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.¡±


    However, Chen Xinglan was very open-minded. Chen Mobai and Tang Pancui looked at each other, but they could only nod.


    After all, this was Chen Xinglan¡¯s only chance to achieve the Foundation Establishment Realm in his life. They would definitely support him wholeheartedly.


    ¡°You¡¯ve already graduated for almost 30 years. I wonder if the Crimson Afterglow Academy will acknowledge you as a student!¡±


    Tang Pancui looked hesitant. She was somewhat worried.


    In the immortal sects, whether it was the four top Dao Colleges, the ten top academies, or the 120 schools below them, the students who had been officially accepted by them would all provide them a chance to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    With this opportunity, other than being provided with an inferior-grade Rank-3 spiritual vein abode, they would also be provided with Spirit Pills that could increase the success rate of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Although the immortal sect prohibited the refinement of Foundation Establishment Pills, they had also developed a set of prescriptions that could replace Foundation Establishment Pills.


    They were the Meridian Protection Pill, the Spirit Ascension Powder, and the Qi Condensation Liquid!


    Among them, the ¡°Meridian Protection Pill¡± could save the life of a cultivator who failed to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    After consuming the ¡°Spirit Ascension Powder¡±, it could increase a cultivator¡¯s divine sense for a short period of time, allowing them to control their spiritual power more easily.


    Meanwhile, the ¡°Qi Condensation Liquid¡± would facilitate the liquefaction of a cultivator¡¯s spiritual energy. If all the spiritual energy in their dantian was liquefied, it would represent success in reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    This entire set of pills was called the ¡°Three Foundation Establishment Treasures¡±!


    Every once in a while, the official flagship store of the immortal sect would release a batch of this set that could be bought with points.


    As for the remaining online pharmacies, the Goumang Dao College and the Imperial Medicine Palance, one had to use Karma Points to buy these items. On average, each of them cost 800,000 Karma Points. Even at such an expensive price, they were still in short supply and needed to be snapped up.


    This was because every time the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures were successfully refined, the various Dao Colleges and academies would first take their share. Only then would the remaining items flow into the market.


    Meanwhile, after the Dao Colleges and academies took the items, it was naturally for their students to use.


    Although Chen Xinglan had already graduated 30 years ago, since he had never reached Qi Refinement Level-9 before, the opportunity to reach the Foundation Establishment had remained in the school and had never been used.


    If he did not succeed in breaking through in this lifetime, it would automatically become invalid. The Dao Colleges and academies did not approve of future generations inheriting such an opportunity.


    After all, the immortal sect was short of resources.


    Thus, even if it was based on the principle of not wasting his opportunity, Chen Xinglan would definitely try to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    ¡°Which of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures are you going to choose, Dad?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked. The Crimson Afterglow Academy would only provide one of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures. Of course, the choice was in the hands of the cultivator.


    ¡°Choose the Meridian Protection Pill.¡±


    Tang Pancui spoke first. This was chosen by 99% of people.


    After all, in Chen Xinglan¡¯s situation, the possibility of successfully reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm was really not high. In that case, the ¡°Meridian Protection Pill¡± that could save his life would definitely be the first choice.


    ¡°Okay, okay. Whatever you say.¡±


    This was also what Chen Xinglan was thinking. He really did not have much confidence in himself.


    ¡°There are still nearly 300,000 Karma Points in our family account. We¡¯ll apply for a loan of 500,000 Karma Points from the bank, and you can buy a ¡®Qi Condensation Liquid¡¯ from the academy. With this, you can at least take that step to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.¡±


    Tang Pancui spoke again. This was the good thing about being a disciple of a Dao College or academy. During the first opportunity at advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm, if one had enough Karma Points, they could also spend them to buy the remaining two types of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures.


    Of course, this was only available on the first attempt.


    If they failed to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm and wanted to try again in the future, the Dao Colleges and academies would not care about them. Cultivators would have to think of a way to buy these treasures from the market.


    However, Chen Xinglan shook his head. Although the couple worked from dawn to dusk and saved up all their Karma Points, their original intention was to use it when they were in the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    However, Tang Pancui had been stuck at Qi Refinement Level-6 for more than 30 years and had given up. Meanwhile, although Chen Xinglan had reached Qi Refinement Level-9, the success rate of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm was extremely slim. Thus, he did not want to waste these savings at all.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need. Leave this money for our son to use when he attempts the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future. He¡¯s at Qi Refinement Level-6 now, so he¡¯ll definitely be able to enter one of the academies. The two of us will work hard for another ten years. When the time comes, we¡¯ll gather 800,000 Karma Points. With a bank loan, we¡¯ll give him a complete set of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures. Perhaps the Chen family can produce another Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator after a hundred years.¡±


    Chen Xinglan¡¯s words made Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes turn red, but he immediately stood up and shook his head.


    ¡°Dad, you should use the Karma Points for yourself. I¡¯m going to enter one of the Dao Colleges. When the time comes, they will distribute the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures. You don¡¯t need to prepare them for me.¡±


    As the top of the immortal sect and also the oldest universities, the student benefits were naturally the best in the four top Dao Colleges. They would be distributed a complete set of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures.


    Meanwhile, the ten top academies would distribute two of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures.


    As for the 120 schools, such as the local Danzhu College or the Crimson Afterglow Academy, they would only distribute one of the treasures.


    It was precisely because of this that every student made the four top Dao Colleges their


    goal.


    According to the samples taken by the Imperial Medicine Palace, if a complete set of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures was consumed, a cultivator who had achieved perfection in Qi Refinement Level-9 had a 10% chance of successfully reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Chen Mobai tried his best before finally persuading Chen Xinglan to use their savings to buy the ¡°Qi Condensation Liquid¡±.


    ¡°Alright, since my son has such ambition, I won¡¯t refuse.¡±


    Tang Pancui looked at the deep feelings between the father and son and couldn¡¯t help but feel jealous. Seeing that she was about to sob, Chen Mobai immediately changed the topic.


    ¡°So, Dad, when are you going to the Crimson Afterglow Academy?¡±


    When attempting to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, the inferior-grade Rank-3 spiritual vein abode provided by the academy could be used for two years. Chen Xinglan definitely wouldn¡¯t waste these two years. He would probably have to wait until the last day before he could advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    ¡°The day after tomorrow. I¡¯ve also informed Baolan and Yulan about this. I want to say goodbye to them.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s grandparents had passed away early, but they had three children: Chen Xinglan, Chen Baolan, and Chen Yulan.

 Chapter 34 - Pickup

    Chapter 34 Pickup


    Chen Baolan was the uncle who had almost become an internet celebrity because he was too handsome. His Spiritual Root aptitude was similar to Chen Xinglan¡¯s, but because he was not burdened by love and family, he had tried to reach perfection in Qi Refinement Level-9 ten years ago. Unfortunately, he had failed.


    As for Chen Yulan, she married a wealthy businessman in the city and had a daughter.


    ¡°When will Uncle be back?¡±


    Of the three siblings, only Chen Baolan was away all year round. Once he returned, everyone was present. Thus, Tang Pancui asked about his whereabouts.


    ¡°His flight is the morning after tomorrow, so he should arrive in the afternoon. I¡¯ve already called for Yulan. We¡¯ll have dinner the day after tomorrow. Let¡¯s have a meal together as a farewell.¡±


    ¡°Blah, blah, blah. Why are you talking about a farewell? How unlucky.¡±


    Chen Mobai listened to his parents and thought about what he could do.


    ¡°By the way, Dad, I have a bottle of ¡®Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡¯ that I snapped up. You can use it at the Crimson Afterglow Academy too.¡±


    He remembered his unused bottle and immediately pulled it out of his bag.


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re quite lucky to be able to snatch this thing. However, this bottle of yours is a middle-grade Rank-1 bottle. For someone at Qi Refinement Level-9, it can only shorten their Qi cultivation time by two to three days. Keep it for yourself.¡±


    Chen Xinglan took the bottle and looked at it. Then, he shook his head and handed it back to Chen Mobai.


    The ¡°Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water¡± was the most traded medicine in the immortal sect every year. There were two levels of this medicine, each with three ranks. The price was also different based on its grade and rank. It was suitable for Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    Chen Xinglan was at Qi Refinement Level-9. This middle-grade Rank-1 ¡°Qi Replenishing Spirit Water¡± was ten times more efficient for Chen Mobai, but for him, it was only two or three times more effective.


    ¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry. In the past two years, I¡¯ll keep an eye on the flagship stores of those big pharmacies when I¡¯m free. Once a superior-grade Rank-1 Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water is released, I¡¯ll immediately buy it.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai regretted not using Turtle Treasure to activate an agent on the immortal sect network.


    Although it was useless to have high levels of permission to the immortal sect network and he still had to snap the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water up, at least the flagship store would inform him when it would be available in advance. He just had to wait for the right time to compete with other users in speed and luck.


    ¡°I¡¯m glad you have the heart, but your own cultivation is the most important. Also, didn¡¯t you say you were going to the top Dao Colleges? You¡¯ll be leaving Danxia City then.¡±


    ¡°I can just send it to you after I snatch it.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered, but he knew that Chen Xinglan was telling the truth.


    ¡°The most important thing in cultivation is to be single-minded. If you keep thinking about snatching the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water every day, it will definitely delay your cultivation. This will make me feel guilty. If you activate your Qi with this state of mind, you will definitely fail to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.¡±


    Chen Xinglan said solemnly, causing Chen Mobai to have no choice but to nod in agreement. If he could get into a good Dao College, he would definitely prioritize his own cultivation.


    However, as he said this, he thought of the young woman in the white nurse¡¯s uniform.


    ¡°By the way, I think I saw the shop assistant bottling the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water at the Evergreen Pharmacy at the entrance of the street. Can we buy it directly there?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked his parents.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. The manager of the Evergreen Pharmacy is a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Rank-2 alchemist certified by the immortal sect. He has already signed a 20-year supply agreement with the Aquarius Pharmacy, the largest pharmacy in Danxia City. All the medicinal pills and spiritual water refined by him can only be exclusive to the Aquarius Pharmacy. Even his own shop can¡¯t sell them.¡±


    As expected, his mother was very clear about the matters in the neighborhood. Tang Pancui¡¯s words also made Chen Mobai feel dejected.


    ¡°He¡¯s already a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Why is he still selling himself!¡±


    ¡°What do you know? The Aquarius Pharmacy is a large pharmacy chain that has been authorized by Goumang Dao College. If alchemists want to improve, they need to spend a huge amount of materials. If they don¡¯t rely on a large pharmacy, how can they have a chance to practice?¡±


    As expected, Tang Pancui understood the situation very well. She spat and started lecturing Chen Mobai.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai completely gave up.


    He had thought that he would be able to find a way to buy the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water.


    ¡°Then, Dad, have you exchanged for the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Fuse Technique?¡±


    He thought of this matter again and asked. This cultivation technique of the Crimson Afterglow Academy could be cultivated to the Core Formation Realm at most. It was a cultivation technique that focused on refining weapons.


    ¡°I exchanged for it the day I broke through to Qi Refinement Level-9. By the way, son, have you decided on the cultivation technique after Qi Refinement Level-7? Is it still the Five Elements Technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally did not hide anything from his parents and said that he had chosen the Pure Yang Manual. However, he did not say that he had already exchanged for it. After all, 10,000 points was not a small amount, and it was a little difficult to explain, so he simply did not say anything.


    ¡°Oh, son, you¡¯re getting more and more ambitious. Actually, the two top academies in Danxia City can be considered to have been separated from the Pure Yang Academy. If I cultivate my Fuse Technique to the end, I can also return to the path of the Pure Yang Manual. However, the cultivation of the Pure Yang Avatar is really too torturous. You have to think carefully.¡±


    When Chen Xinglan was in the Crimson Afterglow Academy, he had seen many classmates who cultivated the Pure Yang Avatar. There were very few who succeeded.


    ¡°If I can cultivate the Three-Yang Avatar, I can increase my chances of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm by 10%. I¡¯m cultivating for this reason.¡±


    Chen Mobai voiced his thoughts. His lifelong dream was to succeed in reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm. Although cultivating the Pure Yang Avatar took a lot of time, it could increase the cultivator¡¯s success rate of breaking through a major realm.


    Now that he had obtained the opportunity from the turtle shell, he was confident that he could reach perfection in Qi Refinement Level-9 before the age of 60. He decided to spend some effort on increasing his success rate of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    If he could find enough Spirit Stones in the Heavenly River Realm, the Pure Yang Manual would be the most suitable cultivation technique for him.


    ¡°In that case, I won¡¯t say anything. Tell you what, have your mother transfer you 10,000 Karma Points.¡±


    The immortal sect stipulated that everyone¡¯s points were personal and could not be shared. However, Karma Points could be transferred. Chen Xinglan asked Tang Pancui to transfer 10,000 Karma Points to Chen Mobai. This was so that he could first accumulate the points needed to exchange for the Qi Refinement chapter of the Pure Yang Manual into his account.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need. You¡¯re about to go to the Crimson Afterglow Academy to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm. It¡¯s time to use your Karma Points. Meanwhile, I¡¯ve just reached Qi Refinement Level-6, so it¡¯s still early for me to break through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm. Besides, when I want to use Karma Points, I¡¯ll naturally ask Mom¡­¡±


    After much persuasion, Chen Mobai finally stopped Chen Xinglan¡¯s act of entrusting him with these matters.


    wa


    The family of three talked for a while more. It was only when Chen Mobai was about to miss the last bus to school that he was chased out of the house by his parents.


    On this day after school, Chen Mobai did not go to the water mansion.


    It was rare for the family to be neat and tidy. Tang Pancui also got off work early and bought a lot of groceries to show off.


    Chen Xinglan became excited and even drank two bottles of wine.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t like the smell of alcohol, but he still drank two glasses with his old father.


    After class on the third day, Chen Mobai stopped pretending and simply did not go to the school¡¯s cultivation room.


    He was going to the airport to pick up his uncle, Chen Baolan.


    He still swiped his student card and took the public transport.


    However, as soon as he entered the airport, he realized that something was wrong.


    ¡°Why are there so many people!¡±

 Chapter 35 - Jade Phoenix Troupe

    Chapter 35 Jade Phoenix Troupe


    Chen Mobai looked around and discovered the reason.


    Many young male and female cultivators were holding different support signs with different names on them, but Chen Mobai saw two names he knew: Meng Huang¡¯er and Jiang Yuyuan.


    ¡°The Jade Phoenix Troupe is actually here. This is the number one theater troupe of the immortal sect.¡±


    The immortal sect inherited the previous cultural civilization and naturally had many entertainment activities. Coupled with the enhancement of immortal cultivation, there were countless handsome men and beautiful women. Those who transformed into celebrities in this civilization were those opera singers.


    Among them, the Jade Phoenix Troupe was the most outstanding opera troupe in the past ten years.


    Meng Huang¡¯er, who was dressed in green, and Jiang Yuyuan, who was a young actor, performed the opera ¡°Moon Treading¡±. As soon as it was broadcasted on the Spring Festival Gala last year, it instantly became popular in the entire immortal sect. With the two of them as the center, the Jade Phoenix Troupe even sang all over the country in recent years, reaping wave after wave of loyalty.


    ¡°You must have waited long, Nephew.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was wondering if he should join the star-chasing crowd and participate in the fun, a gentle and familiar voice sounded in his ear.


    He turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a gray suit and slightly white hair walking over from not far away with two suitcases.


    It was his uncle, Chen Baolan.


    ¡°Second Uncle, we haven¡¯t seen each other for two or three years, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately jogged over and helped carry the luggage.


    ¡°After two years, three months, and 18 days, Big Brother has finally reached Qi Refinement Level-9.¡±


    Chen Baolan only let Chen Mobai carry one luggage. The uncle and nephew were also very close. They chatted and laughed as they walked out of the airport.


    ¡°Their flight has arrived.¡±


    ¡°Quick, quick, quick, in Terminal Two!¡±


    ¡°I can finally meet my real-life male idol.¡±


    ¡°Meng Huang¡¯er will forever be the Moon Fairy.¡±


    At this moment, the young men and women waiting for the Jade Phoenix Troupe in the airport suddenly became active and ran towards another terminal. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that magic was forbidden in the airport, many cultivators would have jumped up.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you want to meet them


    too?¡±


    Chen Baolan saw Chen Mobai stop in his tracks and couldn¡¯t help but ask with a smile.


    ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t want to meet the male and female gods in the entire immortal sect?¡±


    Facing his relative, Chen Mobai naturally wouldn¡¯t be shy and admitted it generously.


    ¡°Look at this.¡±


    Chen Baolan took out a stack of things from his suit pocket and handed it to Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai took it and couldn¡¯t help but widen his eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s a theater ticket for the Jade Phoenix Troupe. This thing is even harder to snatch than the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures. Where did you get it?¡±


    ¡°Boss Bian happened to be on the same flight as me. We sat together and had a nice chat, so he gave me these tickets.¡±


    ¡°Who¡¯s Boss Bian?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s Bian Yiqing, the commander of the Jade Phoenix Troupe. He was the number one performer of the immortal sect 30 years ago, and is also the master of Meng Huang¡¯er and Jiang Yuyuan.¡±


    After Chen Baolan finished speaking, Chen Mobai remembered that Bian Yiqing was the childhood idol of his parents¡¯ generation. He had even been invited to sing his song, Dragon¡¯s Dream, at the Xianqing Festival. Now, that video was still among the top three viewed videos on the Internet.


    ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re too lucky.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh with emotion. Bian Yiqing was an unparalleled national scholar and a performer who had been selected for the national team. He was also an instructor of the Dance Dao College and was recognized as a grandmaster in the immortal sect.


    ¡°It can¡¯t be considered luck. A few days ago, in the ancient ruins that our academy excavated, there were some things that needed to be identified by an expert from the Dance Dao College. Coincidentally, Boss Bian¡¯s Jade Phoenix Troupe was performing in the nearby Taibai City, so he came over. That¡¯s how I got to know him.¡±


    ¡°Then, on the plane today, we ran into each other again. The two of us talked for a while. We had a good time. He just gave me ten tickets.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately checked the ticketing platform and found that the Jade Phoenix Troupe was going to hold 20 shows in Danxia City. The tickets in his hands could be sold at any time. One simply had to register their seat online before attending the show.


    ¡°That¡¯s three tickets for our family, three for Auntie¡¯s family, and one for you, Uncle. That makes seven tickets. Can I resell the other three?¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately made a reservation for tonight¡¯s event. It just so happened that their entire family was here, but ten tickets was still too many. He thought of selling them in his personal shop.


    ¡°Suit yourself. Anyway, I¡¯ve already given you these ten tickets.¡±


    Chen Baolan laughed and walked out of the airport first.


    That evening.


    At the dining table, Chen Xinglan and Chen Baolan had already started drinking. Tang Pancui was still cooking when Chen Mobai heard the doorbell ring. He knew that his aunt had arrived.


    ¡°Brother, I¡¯m at Qi Refinement Level-4.¡±


    At the door, a 12 or 13-year-old girl¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw Chen Mobai. She had a delicate face and fair skin. Her black hair was combed back and swayed in the air, coupled with a purple pearl hairpin. This was the spiritual snake bun, the most trendy hairstyle in the immortal sect recently. She looked very lively.


    She was Chen Mobai¡¯s cousin, Wang Xinying.


    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s impressive. I guess it won¡¯t be long before you surpass your Brother, right?¡±


    When Chen Mobai saw his sister standing in front of him with her hands on her hips and looking smug, he couldn¡¯t help but reach out and touch her combed-up spiritual snake bun.


    ¡°It looks good, doesn¡¯t it? My mother did it for me.¡±


    Wang Xinying was overjoyed to receive her Brother¡¯s praise.


    ¡°Uncle, Aunt, come in quickly.¡±


    There were two other people at the door. They were Wang Xinying¡¯s parents. The man had a fierce face and a strong figure. Meanwhile, the woman was wearing a long purple-red dress that matched her round and smooth high-cut hair. This made her look rich.


    When they saw Chen Mobai, they all smiled.


    ¡°Little Bai knows his manners. He¡¯s nothing like your father.¡±


    When his uncle, Wang Jianyuan, was chasing after Chen Yulan, he was so fierce that Chen Xinglan mistook him for a hooligan on the street who was harassing his sister. After school, Chen Xinglan blocked him in a small alley with a broom and beat him up.


    With Wang Jianyuan¡¯s personality, he would definitely retaliate. After the two of them were beaten black and blue, they started cursing each other.


    As they cursed each other, Chen Xinglan realized that he had hit the wrong person. However, they had already fought. Wang Jianyuan also knew that this person was his brother-in-law and could only admit that he was unlucky.


    Even though Chen Yulan had married over, Chen Xinglan and Wang Jianyuan still did not get along. Every time they met, they would argue.


    ¡°Alright, today is a great day for my big brother. Go in and talk less.¡±


    Chen Yulan looked resentful when she heard her husband¡¯s words.


    Everything else about Wang Jianyuan was good, but he was too petty. He still remembered how Chen Xinglan had beaten him up and raised it every day. He probably wouldn¡¯t forget it until the day he died.


    ¡°Hmph, can¡¯t you just be a Qi Refinement cultivator? Why must you go to the Foundation Establishment Realm? Some people just don¡¯t know their place.¡±


    However, Wang Jianyuan completely ignored his wife and started mocking Chen Xinglan after entering

 Chapter 36 - Divine Sense

    Chapter 36 Divine Sense


    Chen Xinglan and Wang Jianyuan quarreled again, but under the appeasement of their siblings Chen Baolan and Chen Yulan, they began to drink.


    At the dining table, the adults formed a circle. Meanwhile, Chen Mobai and his Sister, Wang Xinying, formed another circle.


    ¡°Look at this.¡±


    Chen Mobai took out the tickets to the Jade Phoenix Troupe. Wang Xinying was at the age where she was chasing celebrities. Needless to say, she was infatuated with Jiang Yuyuan and screamed on the spot.


    ¡°Brother, you¡¯re so kind. My father can¡¯t even get this ticket. Lili was showing off to me today that she had a ticket¡­¡±


    Wang Xinying simply jumped up from her stool and snatched the ticket from Chen Mobai¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Second Uncle gave it to me. If you want to thank anyone, thank him. I¡¯ve already booked our seats for tonight. Dad, Uncle, don¡¯t drink so much.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that once Chen Xinglan and Wang Jianyuan went against each other, they would definitely drink a lot, so he simply booked their seats for the Jade Phoenix Troupe in advance.


    ¡°You two youngsters go ahead. Us older ones are way past the star-chasing stage.¡±


    Wang Jianyuan simply picked up the wine bottle and filled Chen Xinglan¡¯s empty glass. Meanwhile, Tang Pancui and Chen Yulan chatted on the side, not bothering to care.


    ¡°The Jade Phoenix Troupe belongs to Boss Bian. Tonight is the first show. Perhaps he will also show off his voice and do the opening act.¡±


    However, Chen Baolan understood Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts and smiled.


    ¡°Boss Bian? Which Boss Bian?¡±


    ¡°Who else could it be? He¡¯s Bian Yiqing, the one who sang Dragon¡¯s Dream. He¡¯s Master Bian!¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    Before Chen Xinglan and Wang Jianyuan could react, Tang Pancui and Chen Yulan, who were munching on melon seeds, could no longer sit still.


    ¡°What time does it start? Hurry up and eat. If you miss Master Bian¡¯s performance, come back and see how I deal with you.¡±


    Tang Pancui¡¯s words were directed at Chen Xinglan. Meanwhile, although Chen Yulan didn¡¯t say anything, her eyes narrowed as she looked at Wang Jianyuan.


    Within half an hour, the entire family was urged out the door by the three women.


    At the entrance of the Danxia Troupe, the traffic was already flowing.


    The seven of them waited in line for more than ten minutes before they could finally enter.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually a front-row seat. Thank you, Second Uncle.¡±


    Holding Chen Mobai¡¯s hand, Wang Xinying was the first to find their seat. She pulled her Brother to sit in the middle.


    ¡°The tickets given by Boss Bian should have the best view, besides the private rooms above.¡±


    Chen Mobai raised his head and looked around. As expected, he saw a circle of private rooms on the second floor. However, only two of them were lit. The curtains in one of the rooms were open, and he could vaguely see two figures.


    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t that Master Bian?¡±


    However, Chen Baolan recognized that one of the people in the private room was Bian Yiqing.


    ¡°Since they were able to get Master Bian to personally pay a visit, I wonder whether it¡¯s Perfected One Chi Pao or Perfected One Shi Qing?¡±


    In the entire Danxia City, only these two Golden Cores could make Bian Yiqing, the grandmaster of opera, personally visit them.


    ¡°It¡¯s a man. I think he¡¯s Perfected One Chi Pao.¡±


    As they were guessing, the theater suddenly darkened.


    Then, a young student went on stage and gave an opening speech. Chen Mobai listened for a while. As expected, her foundation was extraordinary. Her voice was clear, and she seemed to be a girl. She first apologized.


    ¡°Tonight, Teacher Meng and Teacher Jiang have some problems with their throats due to the long journey. They can¡¯t make an appearance.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    As soon as she finished speaking, the people in the theater who had worked hard to get in immediately couldn¡¯t sit still and stood up to make a commotion.


    ¡°Then what are we here to see!¡±


    ¡°Damn. I want a refund!¡±


    Amidst the curses, a handsome young man descended from the sky like a swimming dragon. He was breathtaking.


    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry this happened.¡±


    ¡°In order not to disappoint everyone, let me sing this today.¡±


    ¡°If you insist on listening to ¡®Moon Treading¡¯ performed by the two performers, then the tickets for this performance can be postponed to the 21st.¡±


    Bian Yiqing¡¯s appearance instantly stunned everyone.


    Other than a few young people who were too young and insisted on seeing Jiang Yuyuan and Meng Huang¡¯er, most of the older audience members were excited.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually Master Bian!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve struck gold. Boss Bian hasn¡¯t appeared in 20 years!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not true. Every year, he appears and sings two lines for the Dance Dao College¡¯s anniversary. The videos can be found online.¡±


    ¡°This trip was worth it!¡±


    In the theater, there were only a dozen or so young people who did not understand their parents¡¯ fanaticism and insisted on refunding their tickets for a later performance.


    ¡°I wanted to see Brother Jiang Yuyuan¡­¡±


    Wang Xinying was the same and pouted. Although Bian Yiqing was also handsome, her heart had long belonged to Brother Jiang Yuyuan.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I still have some tickets.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately calmed her down. Then, as Bian Yiqing opened his mouth, he performed ¡°Spring Day Banquet¡±. It was as clear and lively as flowing water. It was mellow, pleasant, and unique. Sometimes, it was poignant, and sometimes, it was rich. It was as if the first ray of sunlight in the early spring after the winter had shone through her heart, making Wang Xinying, who was originally a little impatient, instantly addicted.


    S


    ¡°This is¡­¡±


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai, who was originally indifferent, felt the spiritual energy in his body begin to flow and tremble along with the ¡°Spring Day Banquet¡±. It was as if he was lying on a massage chair, and his entire body was being caressed by the music. He could not help but feel intoxicated by the numbing pleasure.


    He felt as if his soul had left his body, as if it had become a feather that fluttered in the wind.


    It was like a dream, but he still had a clear self-awareness.


    He seemed to have touched a different realm under the guidance of the opera.


    In this realm, all the contents in the Qi Refinement chapter of the Five Elements Technique that Master Qing Ping had mentioned were integrated in his heart.


    The spiritual power in his body rose with the opera, but he firmly grasped it and circulated it according to the path of the Five Elements Technique. Whether the circulation was fast or slow, it was all up to him.


    After one song, he performed another. After 12 songs, Bian Yiqing left the stage, but the people in the theater were still in a daze.


    When Chen Mobai came back to his senses, his parents were already waiting for him beside him.


    Meanwhile, Wang Xinying simply fell asleep and was carried on Wang Jianyuan¡¯s back.


    ¡°How do you feel? Most people don¡¯t have such an opportunity to hear Master Bian¡¯s Dream-Stirring Song.¡±


    Chen Baolan asked. Chen Mobai sensed that his spiritual power had not improved much. After all, he had just broken through to Qi Refinement Level-6.


    However, something was different.


    ¡°Close your eyes and try to see it for yourself!¡±


    Chen Xinglan reminded him.


    Chen Mobai had a guess and immediately closed his eyes. Then, in the darkness, he saw colorful lights.


    This was the spiritual power of the Five Elements Art in the Qi Sea of his dantian.


    ¡°How is that possible? This is the ¡®divine sense¡¯ that only late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators have!¡±


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes in disbelief.


    The bottleneck of Qi Refinement Level-7 was the one that trapped the most cultivators in this realm. Tang Pancui had been stuck at this bottleneck for 30 years.


    The reason was that if one wanted to break through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, they needed to grasp their ¡°divine sense¡±.


    Had he grasped it in the time it took to listen to a song?

 Chapter 37 - Dream-Stirring Song

    Chapter 37 Dream-Stirring Song


    ¡°It¡¯s just that you¡¯re still under the effects of the Dream-Stirring Song. You¡¯ll regress after a while.¡±


    Chen Xinglan¡¯s words were like a bucket of cold water on his head, making him happy for nothing.


    ¡°However, you can take this opportunity to feel your divine sense. That way, the next time you break through, it will be much easier to follow this feeling.¡±


    ¡°Can I download the Dream-Stirring Song online and listen to it every day? Wouldn¡¯t that give the effect of cultivating my divine sense all the time?¡±


    However, Chen Mobai thought of a good idea and looked hopeful. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much. The Dream-Stirring Song isn¡¯t just music. It¡¯s an auxiliary cultivation technique passed down from the immortal sect. It evolved from the ¡®God-Stirring Song¡¯. Only by listening to the performer sing wholeheartedly with your own ears can it have such an effect.¡±


    Chen Baolan shook his head. He was not the first to have such thoughts.


    ¡°What¡¯s the God-Stirring Song?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again.


    ¡°It¡¯s the top auxiliary divine technique of the immortal sect. After a late-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator hears this song, they can experience what it feels like for them to be in the Soul Formation Realm. Unfortunately, it has been 2,000 years since a cultivator has cultivated it. Master Bian is a grandmaster in the Dao of sound who is closest to refining the God-Stirring Song. Unfortunately, his Spiritual Root is not good. With his cultivation shackles, he can only master the Dream-Stirring Song.¡±


    After hearing Chen Baolan¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai gasped in shock.


    ¡°In that case, why didn¡¯t Master Bian use Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending to cleanse his Spiritual Root? A grandmaster who has mastered the God-Stirring Song is priceless. Perhaps this can allow our immortal sect to have a few more Soul Formation Patriarchs.¡±


    If Chen Mobai could think of it, how could the upper echelons of the immortal sect not think of it?


    ¡°Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending can only be used by Soul Formation Patriarchs. However, the two Patriarchs have been in seclusion for more than 300 years.¡±


    After Chen Baolan finished speaking, Chen Mobai understood.


    Master Bian was a genius in the Dao of sound who had only appeared in the past 50 years. Compared to the Soul Formation Patriarchs whose lifespans were in the thousands, he was really too insignificant.


    There were three halls and four Dao Colleges in the immortal sect. It was impossible for them to disturb the two ancestors in seclusion over such a small matter.


    ¡°However, it¡¯s said that Meng Huang¡¯er and Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s Spiritual Root aptitudes are very outstanding. Their talent in the Dao of sound is not inferior to that of the Bian family. They are True Dao Seeds that the immortal sect found after searching the 36 Grotto-Heavens and 72 Blessed Lands.¡±


    ¡°If the two of them can cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm, they will be able to play the God-Stirring Song passed down by the immortal sect again.¡±


    ¡°The few masters from the immortal sect must have been waiting for them to grow up, so they got Master Bian to personally lead the Jade Phoenix Troupe on a nationwide tour. While enlightening the cultivators in the country, this also allows them to accumulate blessings and merit so that one of them could cultivate the Nascent Soul Realm in the future.¡±


    Chen Baolan followed the expedition team of the Spiritual Pivot Academy all year round. The professor leading the team was also a member of the three halls in the immortal sect. Thus, he knew more than Chen Xinglan and the others.


    ¡°To enlighten the cultivators in the country?¡±


    However, Chen Mobai grasped the key point again and looked at Chen Baolan in confusion.


    ¡°Why do you think the Jade Phoenix Troupe has to work so hard to tour the country? Moreover, they have to hold 20 shows in a row in every Grotto-Heaven. Do you think they just want to earn a few Karma Points?¡±


    Chen Baolan asked. Chen Mobai nodded subconsciously. Wasn¡¯t that so?


    ¡°The structure of the upper echelons in the immortal sect is very big. Think about it. Since Master Bian can let you grasp the divine sense that only late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators can master, how can he keep this ability to himself? With such a blessing, one naturally has to benefit the masses and all living beings.¡±


    ¡°After Master Bian became famous 30 years ago, the immortal sect arranged for him to tour the entire country. It was hard on him to enlighten most of the talented Qi Refinement Seeds in the immortal sect.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, why do you think Master Bian, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, can become a teacher of the Dance Dao College and be respected by everyone? Isn¡¯t it because the middle-level Foundation Establishment cultivators of this batch of immortal sects were basically enlightened by Master Bian¡¯s Dream-Stirring Song when he toured the country for eight years?¡±


    ¡°If you achieve the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future and meet Master Bian, you have to bow to him.¡±


    After Chen Mobai heard Chen Baolan¡¯s explanation, he felt deep respect for Bian Yiqing, the opera grandmaster.


    Even though this was partly due to the promotion of the immortal sect, it was not an exaggeration to say that Bian Yiqing was a living saint. After all, he was able to persevere for eight years and travel through the 36 Grotto-Heavens and the 72 Blessed Lands just to enlighten the Qi Refinement Seeds of his parents¡¯ generation 30 years ago.


    ¡°In that case, Meng Huang¡¯er and Jiang Yuyuan are also taking the same path as Master Bian and enlightening all the living beings of our generation.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of this again. At first, he was a little puzzled by his sister¡¯s fanaticism with chasing them. Now that he thought about it, he was too narrow-minded.


    ¡°Their cultivation is still a little shallow, but with everyone around, they will be able to enter the inner circle sooner or later. Last year, the two of them were accepted by the Dance Dao College without any tests. Now, they are working while studying. They cultivate and tour at the same time. I hope one of them can master the God-Stirring Song in the future.¡±


    When she said this, Chen Baolan did not have much confidence.


    After all, it was really too difficult to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.


    Even with a Heaven Spiritual Root, there was only a 1% chance.


    Although Meng Huang¡¯er and Jiang Yuyuan had outstanding Spiritual Roots, had the support of the immortal sect, had the personal guidance of a grandmaster like Bian Yiqing, and had even been accepted by the Dance Dao College, the possibility of the two of them cultivating to the Nascent Soul Realm was very slim according to the deductions of the Star Observation Academy.


    If not for the fact that the few Nascent Soul Realm experts were too eager for them to cultivate the God-Stirring Song, the immortal sect might not have invested such a huge amount of resources in them.


    Of course, Chen Baolan did not tell Chen Mobai about this. After all, he could not dampen his enthusiasm for cultivation.


    If Chen Mobai knew that even the two people from the Jade Phoenix Troupe only had a slim chance of reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, wouldn¡¯t Chen Mobai, who had an ordinary True Spiritual Root, have his future cut off compared to them?


    (If only I could listen to Meng Huang¡¯er sing to me every day.]


    However, Chen Baolan had no idea what his eldest nephew was currently thinking. If he knew what Chen Mobai was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes.


    Even the three hall masters of the immortal sect might not receive such treatment.


    Chen Mobai also knew that he was dreaming, but he was still a young man. Although his will to cultivate was firm, some worldly desires had yet to dissipate with the passage of time and the raise in his rank.


    Perhaps when he was in his seventies or eighties, he would laugh at his delusions when he recalled his thoughts from today.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s rare to hear Master Bian¡¯s Dream-Stirring Song today. Let¡¯s go back and celebrate.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Xinglan had already called for Chen Baolan and Wang Jianyuan to drink some more. Chen Baolan readily agreed. However, Wang Jianyuan shook his head and gestured to his sleeping daughter.


    ¡°You guys go ahead and drink. I¡¯m taking Xinying back to rest.¡±


    Wang Xinying¡¯s cultivation level was only at Qi Refinement Level-4. Although she had also experienced the Dream-Stirring Song, she definitely did not grasp the divine sense. However, the benefits were not small. If she woke up after a good sleep, she might be able to stabilize her realm after forcefully breaking through by consuming medicinal pills.


    Chen Mobai helped call a taxi. Then, he sent his uncle and his family to the car.


    Before Chen Yulan left, she gave the gift she had prepared to Chen Xinglan.


    ¡°Big Brother, you broke through to Qi Refinement Level-9. This is a small token of appreciation from Jianyuan and me. Although he is usually rude with you, he¡¯s actually quite happy for you.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. What¡¯s the point of talking so much!¡±


    Unable to hang on, Wang Jianyuan closed the front door of the taxi with his daughter in his


    arms.

 Chapter 38 - Seeking Support

    Chapter 38 Seeking Support


    The next morning, Chen Baolan packed his luggage and left.


    He left behind a book of his insights from when he attempted to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm and even gave Chen Xinglan a jade pendant. Its use was to clear one¡¯s heart and calm one¡¯s mind. If a Qi Refinement cultivator wore it, it could increase their divine sense by 20 to 30%.


    It was equivalent to a quarter of the effect of the Spirit Ascension Powder. It was an opportunity that Chen Baolan had obtained when he was excavating an ancient ruin.


    Chen Xinglan did not argue. After all, it was a gift from his own younger brother, so he simply accepted it. However, he had also said that after he attempted to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, regardless of whether he succeeded or failed, he would return it to Chen Baolan. Chen Baolan also smiled and nodded.


    As for Wang Jianyuan and Chen Yulan, they gave Chen Baolan a huge gift.


    They simply gave Chen Baolan 80,000 Karma Points. They had originally planned to buy one of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures as a gift, but they really couldn¡¯t get it, so they could only give him Karma Points.


    However, Chen Xinglan and his wife naturally refused to accept it. Even if they were biological siblings, they felt guilty accepting such a huge sum of Karma Points.


    It was not easy to refuse the gift at the entrance of the theater that night. This morning, Tang Pancui deliberately woke up early to send the 800,000 Karma Points back.


    ¡°Son, go buy some hangover medicine for your father. I¡¯m going to your aunt¡¯s house.¡±


    After sending Chen Baolan off, Tang Pancui hurriedly took the bus.


    Chen Xinglan had drunk too much last night and his alcohol tolerance was average. Thus, he had yet to wake up.


    ¡°Got it.¡±


    Chen Mobai casually ate some breakfast and then applied for a day off from his form teacher.


    Chai Deyun was also very responsible. After seeing the message, he specially called to ask what was going on. After all, the college entrance examination was coming soon, and every day was very important. However, after knowing that Chen Mobai was going to send his father off, Chen Xinglan, to the Crimson Afterglow Academy to prepare for the Foundation Establishment Realm today, he still congratulated him politely and approved his leave.


    He went to the Evergreen Pharmacy at the end of the street as usual.


    Chen Mobai was experienced this time. After walking in and waiting for a while, the young girl in the white nurse uniform walked out. However, this time, she didn¡¯t have a big iron pot in her hands. She seemed to be in the busy stage of extracting the medicinal liquid. Her exposed snow-white skin by the edge of the mask was slightly covered in sweat.


    ¡°What do you want this time?¡±


    After two transactions, the two of them knew each other. The young girl first removed the smell of medicine from her body before walking over to ask.


    ¡°I want some hangover medicine.¡±


    ¡°How much do you want?¡±


    ¡°Give me a box.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯ll be 30 Karma Points.¡±


    Chen Mobai took the bottle of spiritual water that the girl took out from the cabinet. It was used to cure hangovers. Then, he immediately took out his phone to pay.


    ¡°I think I saw you sealing the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water last time.¡±


    Seeing that the girl was about to return to the back hall, he could not help but ask.


    ¡°You¡¯re talking about that? My teacher refined it. That¡¯s all for the Aquarius Pharmacy. Even if you want to buy it, I can¡¯t sell it to you.¡±


    Qing Nu clearly knew what Chen Mobai wanted to ask and directly blocked his thoughts.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t there any extra portions? I heard on the Internet that every alchemist will refine an extra 10%. This is in case there are any accidents and they cannot report that they have achieved the quota.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai still did not give up. If he had enough Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water, his father might be able to reach perfection in Qi Refinement Level-9 within the next two years by cultivating above an inferior-grade Rank-3 spiritual vein.


    ¡°There are extra portions, but Teacher will sell them to old clients he¡¯s known for years. Even I don¡¯t get a share.¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head and said something that made Chen Mobai have no choice but to give up on the idea of buying the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water from here.


    ¡°That¡¯s too bad.¡±


    Holding the sealed hangover medicine in his hand, Chen Mobai thanked Qing Nu and turned to leave.


    ¡°If you believe me, I can actually refine this Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water.¡±


    At that moment, the girl¡¯s slow voice behind him made him turn around immediately.


    ¡°You! Can you refine it?¡±


    ¡°A Rank-1 bottle shouldn¡¯t be a problem. Even though I haven¡¯t passed the official alchemist examination from the immortal sect, I¡¯ve learned most of the basic knowledge.¡±


    ¡°However, alchemists rely on practical knowledge. No matter how good your grasp of knowledge is, you still have to refine it before you can use it.¡±


    ¡°Oh. sure.¡±


    Qing Nu simply mentioned this. Seeing Chen Mobai sizing her up with a look of distrust, she did not explain further.


    ¡°Wait, you can really refine it?¡±.


    Seeing that Qing Nu had lifted the curtain to the backyard and was about to turn around and leave, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and asked desperately.


    ¡°Apart from the last step of mixing the medicinal liquid, which has always been personally done by Teacher, I¡¯ve already experienced the other basic steps and processes more than a dozen times. The success rate can reach 80-90%.¡±


    ¡°How can I work with you?¡±


    After Chen Mobai recovered from his shock, his high EQ returned again. He did not ask how confident Qing Nu was about the last step. Instead, he humbly asked what he could do.


    ¡°You provide the materials, and I¡¯ll practice with your materials. If I succeed, I¡¯ll give it all to you. If I fail, the losses will be on you.¡±


    Qing Nu¡¯s words made Chen Mobai fall into deep thought.


    It was because the two of them had only made three deals and did not have a deep foundation of trust.


    With Wu Wan¡¯s example, Chen Mobai was now wary of everyone who opened their doors to do business.


    ¡°I have something on today. Are you free after school tomorrow?¡±


    Chen Mobai decided to think about it carefully. This was a rare opportunity, but Qing Nu looked about the same age as him. Even if she had been refining pills since she was young, her level could not be too high. Although he had some Karma Points now, he did not dare to waste them.


    After all, everyone knew that providing for an alchemist to cultivate was the most expensive!


    If one failed at refining weapons, the raw materials could still be decomposed by a machine and reused.


    However, if this pill refinement failed, the product would be completely useless and could not be used anymore. However, the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water used a water-type pill refinement method. As long as there were no mistakes in the extraction of the medicinal liquid in the beginning, even if she failed at the last step of the concoction at the first attempt, she could slowly experiment. It was much more tolerable than fire-type pill refinement.


    ¡°I¡¯m not too free. I have to complete the mission Teacher assigned me.¡±


    When Qing Nu saw Chen Mobai¡¯s attitude of not bargaining when he bought the spiritual testing instrument, she thought that he should be from a relatively rich family. It just so happened that she was planning to apply to be a Rank-1 alchemist in an immortal sect recently and needed to practice her water alchemy techniques in advance. When she heard that Chen Mobai needed to buy the Qi Replenishing Spirit Water, she tactfully mentioned it.


    However, this was the first time that Qing Nu had asked for support. Thus, she was a little unfamiliar with it.


    At this point, seeing that Chen Mobai was not too enthusiastic, she also retreated a little.


    ¡°I still have two tickets to the Jade Phoenix Troupe. I have front-row seats to Meng Huang¡¯er and Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s ¡®Moon Treading¡¯. It¡¯s considered the best seat other than the private rooms.¡±


    Chen Baolan had given him ten tickets. Yesterday, their family had used up seven tickets. He also promised to give one to his cousin, Wang Xinying. Thus, he still had two tickets left. He thought that this young girl in front of him was about the same age as him and should be interested in the Jade Phoenix Troupe.


    However, he had completely underestimated Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s ability to attract the girls of the entire immortal sect


    As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Qing Nu¡¯s eyes lit up.

 Chapter 39 - Jade Parasol Tree

    Chapter 39 Jade Parasol Tree


    Qing Nu did not resist the charm of the Jade Phoenix Troupe and agreed to Chen Mobai¡¯s request.


    After the two of them added each other¡¯s contact details, Chen Mobai brought the hangover medicine home.


    At this moment, his uncle, Wang Jianyuan, had already driven his car over. Chen Xinglan was going to stay in the Rank-3 spiritual vein cave abode of the Crimson Afterglow Academy for two years, so he naturally had to bring a lot of luggage.


    When Chen Mobai arrived home, Chen Xinglan and Tang Pancui were moving things. After the former drank the hangover medicine Chen Mobai bought, he became a little more energetic.


    ¡°I¡¯ll never drink again.¡±


    Although he said that, Chen Mobai felt that if their entire family was reunited next time, Chen Xinglan would still drink a lot.


    There was strength in numbers. Soon, the bedding and clothes were packed. Chen Xinglan comforted Tang Pancui, whose eyes were red, and carried his luggage.


    ¡°All right, my son can take me there. Just wait at home.¡±


    After the couple bade farewell, Chen Mobai sat in the front passenger seat.


    Chen Xinlan originally said that there was no need for any of his family members to send him off. He could just step onto this path alone.


    However, Tang Pancui was worried. Chen Mobai also wanted to see the Crimson Afterglow Academy, so he let Chen Mobai tag along


    Wang Jianyuan¡¯s driving skills were excellent. The journey of nearly 40 kilometers took less than an hour.


    ¡°Is this the Crimson Afterglow Academy?!¡±


    SUIL


    Chen Mobai looked at the buildings in the large forest of parasol trees and felt the extremely dense spiritual energy in the surrounding air. He couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath. ¡°Cough cough¡­ cough cough¡­¡± Then, he couldn¡¯t help but cough violently.


    The spiritual energy here contained a wave of heat. Without refining and integrating it with the 12 sections of his throat, his throat could not take it. The spiritual vein here was a fire vein. Naturally, Chen Mobai, who had been nourished in a water vein recently, could not adapt to it.


    ¡°Do you see that Spiritual Peak?¡±


    Chen Xinglan got out of the car and pointed to the deepest part of the forest, where the highest mountain that towered into the clouds was located. Even though the area was filled with white clouds, they could not hide the incomparably huge Jade Parasol Tree at the top of the Spiritual Peak that seemed to connect heaven and earth.


    From a distance, its bark was as green as jade, and its leaves resembled flowers. It was elegant and clean, and surrounded by clouds.


    ¡°Is this the Jade Parasol Tree that has lived for more than four thousand years?!¡±


    Danxia City was classified as one of the 72 Blessed Lands of the immortal sect because of this superior-grade Rank-4 parasol tree. The tree witnessed the rise of the immortal sect and had also taken root in this mountain range. It gathered superior-grade and suppressed the leyline, turning an ordinary extinct volcano to the current Rank-4 spiritual vein.


    It could be said that without the Jade Parasol Tree, the current Danxia City would not exist.


    ¡°That Spiritual Peak is where Perfected One Shi Qing cultivates. Meanwhile, my Foundation Establishment cave abode is at the foot of the mountain.¡±


    Chen Xinglan had long applied to return to the school and advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm on the Crimson Afterglow Academy¡¯s official website. Then, he obtained an official reply giving him permission to do so. As driving was not allowed in the school, the three of them carried luggages of all sizes and walked to the foot of Spiritual Peak.


    Before entering the cave abode, he naturally had to register with the teacher in charge of management. Fortunately, that person was actually Chen Xinglan¡¯s classmate, but he had been staying in school after his graduation to help with logistics.


    He looked at the content of the official reply with the school seal and immediately arranged for an empty inferior-grade Rank-3 cave abode.


    rs


    ¡°The school is similar to what it was 30 years ago. Nothing has changed. You know the location of the cafeteria. If you want to save some Karma Points, you can prepare your own fasting pills.¡±


    With the help of his acquaintance, everything went smoothly. Under his lead, Chen Xinglan applied for a school card. With this, he could swipe his card and enter the cave abode. He could even enjoy most of the facilities and benefits of the Crimson Afterglow Academy, such as auditing classes, libraries, and even those medicinal pills, Dharma artifacts, and spirit talisman shops that were specially for students.


    ¡°Thanks, Old Yan.¡±


    Chen Xinglan¡¯s old classmate was called Yan Xiang. After helping him with the school card, he even took a plant pot from his office and handed it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This is your son, right? I didn¡¯t prepare much for our first meeting. I¡¯ll give you this green parasol seedling.¡±


    Yan Xiang was a very kind middle-aged man. This was a green parasol seedling with only two leaves. After receiving his father¡¯s permission, Chen Mobai reached out to take it.


    ¡°When students enroll in the Crimson Afterglow Academy, all students will receive a parasol tree branch and have to raise it before graduation. After graduation, they can bring the parasol tree back. If students don¡¯t want to spend too much time on paying a Spritual Gardener, they can plant the parasol tree branch in the school. This is how our parasol tree forest came about.¡±


    Yan Xiang posted to the lush parasol tree forest that stretched over the mountains with a proud expression. After speaking, he had something else to do and left.


    ¡°Well, we won¡¯t disturb you any more. Call me if you need anything. It¡¯s easy for me to drive over.¡±


    Wang Jianyuan carried the luggages into the cave abode. Seeing that it was getting late, he planned to leave.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have a meal together. After all, I just got my card. The food in the Crimson Afterglow Academy¡¯s canteen is also superb.¡±


    Chen Xinglan suggested, but Wang Jianyuan shook his head and said that he had another business in the afternoon and had to rush back. Chen Mobai could only leave with him.


    At the school gate, the father and son said goodbye. Chen Mobai was about to get into the car when he saw an acquaintance.


    ¡°Teacher Chan, why are you here?¡±


    It was Chan Si, who taught array formations in school. She was wearing a red dress today and looked very good. However, she was a student at the Danzhu Academy. Thus, Chen Mobai was very surprised to see her at the Crimson Afterglow Academy.


    However, she was not alone. She was accompanied by another man in green.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you. It must be class time, right?¡±


    Chan Si was also very surprised to see Chen Mobai in the Crimson Afterglow Academy. ¡°I¡¯m here to send my Dad¡­¡±


    After explaining, Chan Si nodded in realization. She looked at the Green Parasol seedling in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand and smiled as she wished Chen Xinglan success in achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    ¡°I¡¯m here on my mentor¡¯s orders to bring this Senior Brother to meet Daoist Shi Qing.¡±


    The man in green also smiled and nodded at Chen Mobai. He did not introduce himself.


    After greeting him, Chen Mobai remembered that Wang Jianyuan had something to attend to and didn¡¯t talk much to Chan Si. He thanked her again for the help with the Jade Water Array and got into the car.


    ¡°Is he one of your students?¡±


    The man in green asked after Chen Mobai left.


    ¡°Yes, he has a good personality, but his aptitude is a little ordinary.¡±


    ¡°Oh, really? Am I mistaken?¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    Chan Si did not understand what the man in green meant. The man in green cultivated a secret technique that allowed him to sense the fluctuations of divine sense. He felt an active but disorderly sense of familiarity from Chen Mobai.


    It was the feeling of an ordinary cultivator who had just broken through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm and had yet to accurately grasp his divine sense.


    He thought that Chen Mobai was already at Qi Refinement Level-7 at such a young age. ¡°I remember that he just broke through to Qi Refinement Level-5 when school started this semester. Based on his Spiritual Root aptitude, it¡¯s impossible for him to break through to Qi Refinement Level-7 in just a month, right?¡±


    When Chan Si heard this, she recalled Chen Mobai¡¯s aptitude and spoke in confusion. The man in green felt that she was right and did not think too deeply about it.


    ¡°I¡¯m a little sensitive about this when I select students for the immortal sects. Maybe I was wrong.¡±


    After the man in green finished speaking, he shook his head. He had been thinking about what questions he should ask during this year¡¯s college entrance examination. Thus, he was tense and might have sensed something wrong.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. You¡¯ll be locked up for the next few days. You can only come down from Spiritual Peak after the college entrance examination ends.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t ask for more than to enjoy a Rank-4 spiritual vein.¡±


    Chan Si brought him to the cave abode on the mountainside near the Jade Parasol Tree. There were eight inferior-grade Rank-4 cave abodes here. As one of the people who set the questions for this year¡¯s college entrance examination, the man in green was isolated in one of the cave abodes.


    ¡°I wonder when the people from the Dao Colleges and academies will come. After I set the questions, will they still have to review it?¡±


    Chan Si smiled at that, but said nothing.

 Chapter 40 - Stepping into the Heavenly River Realm

    Chapter 40 Stepping into the Heavenly River Realm


    After Chen Mobai returned home, he first placed the pot with the green parasol seedling on the balcony. He wanted to water it, but he was afraid of drowning the seedling.


    He took out his phone and checked how to raise this seedling. He realized that many people said different things.


    However, there was one thing in common.


    It was best to raise it in a place with sufficient spiritual energy. The more spiritual energy there was, the faster it would grow.


    This green parasol seedling was one of the few spirit trees in the immortal sect that could be upgraded indefinitely. Currently, the tree with the highest grade was the superior-grade Rank-4 Jade Parasol Tree in Danxia City.


    However, although the green parasol seedling had unlimited potential, its growth was extremely slow.


    The Jade Parasol Tree in Danxia City was planted by a Rank-3 Spiritual Gardener. It was said that it took 200 years for it to grow from a green parasol seedling to a Rank-1 spiritual tree.


    After the green parasol seedling matured, it would comb through the leylines and increase its spiritual energy. The tree and the spiritual land would complement each other. However, if it had grown in a Rank-4 spiritual land from the beginning, the Jade Parasol Tree would not have taken more than 4,000 years just to upgrade to a Rank-4 spiritual tree.


    Seeing that there was sufficient spiritual energy, Chen Mobai naturally thought of the water mansion.


    In a flash of silver, he teleported to the Heavenly River Realm.


    After placing the green parasol seedling on the desk in the side hall, Chen Mobai opened the Jade Water Array. Then, he took a pot of water from outside the protective shield and poured it over the roots.


    It was said on the Internet that this was the easiest spiritual tree to raise. It only needed to be placed in a place with abundant spiritual energy and watered regularly. After the green parasol seedling bloomed and bore fruit for the first time, there was no need to water it. It would grow on its own.


    Furthermore, after this green parasol seedling matured, it would be full of treasures.


    The bark and leaves could be used as talismans, while the sap could be used as ink and could also repel insects. The wood was also a good material for making musical instruments and boxes. However, the most valuable thing was still the flowers and fruits. They were the main ingredient in refining the superior-grade Rank-1 pill, the Clear Fire Pill. The Clear Fire Pill was a rare pill that could increase one¡¯s divine sense. To late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators, it was one of the most precious pills.


    Thinking of divine sense, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but close his eyes again. The effect of the Dream-Stirring Song was still there, but it was no longer as clear as last night. The spiritual power he saw seemed to be covered by a veil that was no longer transparent.


    According to Chen Baolan¡¯s reminder, the effect of the Dream-Stirring Song could last for about three to four days. During this period of time, it was best not to cultivate spiritual power. Instead, it was best to meditate and sense the formation of divine sense to see through the touch of the fog.


    Divine sense was a sixth sense other than the five senses. It came from the sea of consciousness.


    After a cultivator mastered their divine sense, they could check the state of their body. When their spiritual power circulated, they could correct it based on the correct path in the cultivation technique book and refine spiritual energy in the most perfect state.


    The stronger one¡¯s divine sense was, the more parts of the body could be seen. Once they achieved the Foundation Establishment Realm, their divine sense could even leave the body and see the outside world.


    Many spells that could dispel illusions were based on divine sense.


    As for Chen Mobai, he had only just activated his divine sense. Thus, he could only check his dantian¡¯s Qi Sea and feel the fluctuations and rotation of his spiritual power.


    This spiritual power rotation was what he had heard from Master Qing Ping¡¯s lecture. When spiritual power was circulated in this way, it could be condensed. However, he did not have divine sense in the past. Although he could control the rotation of his spiritual power, he did not know the exact situation.


    Today, with his divine sense, he discovered that the spiritual energy was circulating at the speed of a turtle. Moreover, the trajectory it formed was not round at all. It was a flat irregular shape.


    ¡°When I really master my divine sense in the future, I have to correct it.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself.


    With this thought in mind, he opened the Auxiliary Cultivation app and typed in the keywords ¡°Divine Sense¡± and ¡°Qi Refinement Realm¡±.


    There were very few results. There were only two pages with a dozen or so posts.


    After all, those who could post on the Auxiliary Cultivation app were at least Foundation Establishment cultivators. At that time, they basically wouldn¡¯t care about the content of cultivating one¡¯s divine sense at the Qi Refinement Realm.


    Fortunately, there were many people. There were still some Foundation Establishment cultivators who studied the tricks of cultivating divine sense during the Qi Refinement Realm for the sake of their juniors or disciples.


    In order not to waste the effects of the Dream-Stirring Song, while Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t cultivate his spiritual power, he studied these posts seriously.


    After reading the content, he frowned slightly.


    There were actually two paths to cultivate divine sense within the two pages of posts.


    The first path was an orthodox self-cultivation method. It nurtured one¡¯s mind until one¡¯s psychic power glowed and naturally fused into one¡¯s divine sense. Those who took this route could go to the National Library to exchange for ¡°Spirit Nurturing Divine Technique¡±.


    The other path was a little more radical. It used a special fragrance to draw one¡¯s mind out.


    This route believed that the divine sense was born deep in the brain, but because of the postnatal Qi entering the body, it had to seal itself. However, the divine sense was the master of the human body. It was active by nature and could be reactivated with just a little primer.


    However, a Qi Refinement cultivator¡¯s divine sense was weak and could not leave their body for a long time like a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Therefore, when cultivating in this way, someone needed to be by their side. Once one¡¯s mind left their body, the other person had to immediately extinguish the incense.


    After their divine sense was activated and drawn out several times, the cultivator would naturally grasp their divine sense. It was considered as a long-term stimulating cultivation method. Cultivators who believed in this path had a very special name for this: Spiritual Sense Fitness.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this just like listening to the Dream-Stirring Song everyday? However, listening to a song is enjoyable. This sounds like torture.¡±


    Chen Mobai instantly understood. Then, he checked this stimulating cultivation method in the National Library. It was actually included as well. It was called the ¡°Spirit-Stimulating Heaven-Traversing Technique¡±, but exchanging for this technique required the permissions of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    Clearly, the immortal sect did not advocate it, so it was not like the orthodox ¡°Spirit Nurturing Divine Technique¡±. As long as one was a Qi Refinement cultivator, they could download this spell with 1,000 points.


    Chen Mobai was a person who liked to exercise, but he only liked it. He had never acted on it.


    Relying on his high level of permissions, he checked the contents and outline of the ¡°Spirit-Stimulating Heaven-Traversing Technique¡±. He discovered that the incense required was actually a Rank-2 medicinal pill. He was originally a little tempted, but he immediately gave up.


    A Rank-2 medicinal pill could only be bought by a Foundation Establishment cultivator whose real name had been verified by the immortal sect. It could be considered a regulated product.


    It seemed that this ¡°Spirit-Stimulating Heaven-Traversing Technique¡± was a method used by Foundation Establishment elders at home for their juniors to activate their divine senses.


    Chen Mobai thought for a while and decided to get down to business.


    He got up and opened his bag. There was an ancient costume and a wig inside. They were the items he had ordered online and were close to ancient-style decorations.


    Actually, these things had arrived yesterday, but he only had the chance to try them on after sending Chen Xinglan to the Crimson Afterglow Academy today.


    There was no problem with the size. He wore the ancient costume and a coronet wig. He was also a handsome young man.


    He looked at his attire in the small mirror in his hand. After confirming that there were no flaws, Chen Mobai took a deep breath and opened the array of the water mansion.


    He was finally stepping onto the land of the Heavenly River Realm.

 Chapter 41 - Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Southstream Market 1

    Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Southstream Market 1


    Translator: 549690339           ¡ª


    Southstream Market.


    As a larger cultivator exchange among the nineteen countries of the Eastern Wilderness, Yun Country¡¯s southern part, the amount of traffic here is always substantial.


    So when Chen Mobai stepped in, he didn¡¯t provoke any attention. Only two Qi Cultivation disciples on the first tier came forward to greet him. An exchange of glances saw one of them withdraw, conceding the business to his companion who was wearing a hemp garment.


    ¡°Esteemed senior, do you need a guide? I am familiar with all the stores and even today¡¯s stalls¡¯ merchandise.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at this individual who was about his age, with confusion in his heart.


    [Why is his cultivation level so low?]


    If he were in a cultivation sect, someone his age stuck at first tier Qi Cultivation would have been expelled from high school by now. Moreover, the concentration of spiritual energy in this market wasn¡¯t low; it had reached the intermediate grade of rank 1.


    But he certainly wouldn¡¯t dare to ask such a question and instead awkwardly asked another one.


    ¡°Do you charge a fee?¡±


    ¡°Ten gold pieces per day is enough.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai remembered the dozen or so gold pieces he received from the old man¡¯s package and understood that this was the currency unit for cultivators. However, he didn¡¯t know how much gold could be exchanged for a single spirit stone.


    He wanted to ask more questions, but he feared exposure by asking such common knowledge questions. Therefore he could only decline the offer with a shake of his head.


    ¡°Senior, please reconsider. I also know some leasing channels in this market.¡± Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s refusal, the hemp-garbed youngster felt an urgency, leading him to blurt out a phrase that made Chen Mobai embarrassed.


    Was it so lawless here?


    Can such a phrase even be uttered under broad daylight?


    But, being short of money, he could only refuse once again and quickly disappeared into the crowd.


    The youngster dressed in hemp watched his retreating figure disappear with a look of disappointment on his face.


    ¡°Brother Liu, the man appears unfamiliar, but seems to be at the later stage of Qi Cultivation, moreover, considering his dense threaded clothing which still manages to be impeccably tidy, I fear he is not a minor character.¡± The Qi Cultivating youth who had withdrawn earlier walked over. He had been silently observing Chen Mobai all along. Recognizing Chen Mobai¡¯s ancient style suit, which had been carefully tailored by machine, he concluded that only a major cultivation family would pay such close attention to attire and appearance.


    ¡°He didn¡¯t have the innate disdain that cultivation families have towards us loose cultivators. It¡¯s likely he¡¯s a disciple from one of the seven major sects.¡± The Liu family youngster dressed in hemp shook his head based on the short exchange he had with Chen Mobai earlier and his dealings with cultivation families. He arrived at a conclusion he deemed accurate.


    ¡°If he¡¯s from one of the seven major sects, why would he come to our Yun Country? Do they scorn us for the tributes we provide each year and sent someone to inspect us?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s pretend we don¡¯t know anything. Even if the sky were to fall, we loose cultivators only need to escape. Worse comes to worst, we can just hide in the secular world.¡±


    After listening to these words, the young man nodded.


    The situation in the Eastern Wasteland had always been chaotic. Killings, looting, and seizing opportunities were the norms.


    Even the major sects would have friction every few decades, leading to a fierce battle. The loose cultivators had long grown used to this.


    It¡¯s a shame that newcomers like them, who barely stepped into the world of cultivation in hope of immortality, have instead entered a more struggling world where they can¡¯t even afford a complete Qi Cultivation Technique.


    Chen Mobai naturally didn¡¯t know that he was mistaken as a disciple of an Eastern Wasteland Major Sect because of his mass-produced ancient-style suit.


    He learned about Southstream Market from the accounts of Azure Waves Lake. Liu Yanpei, a cultivator from the Five Elements Sect, has been doing business here for twenty years, naturally, he¡¯s dealt with the local cultivators. He noted these matters down for the successor who would take over when he returned to the Sect for his Foundation Establishment.


    However, something happened fifty years ago which caused him to leave Azure Waves Lake and never return.


    After scanning all the books in the side hall, Chen Mobai found a record book on local factions and specialties. As soon as he set eyes on it, he planned to go out and check it out. However, it was only today that he made up his mind and decided to find this place according to the map.


    He was afraid that the situation might have changed after fifty years Who would have thought that this market, jointly established by local cultivation families and small sects, was still around and thriving?


    He walked onto the main route of the Market. Apart from pharmacies and magic instrument shops selling cultivation goods, there were many eateries, lodgings and even a formation shop selling Array Flags and Array Plates.


    Though he was curious enough to venture in, each of these stores had a scarce number of customers. In order not to draw attention to himself and because he lacked the funds, he decided to first go to the stall area to understand the market conditions.


    In addition to over twenty shops on this street occupying prime locations, there were stalls in every corner of the Market, selling all kinds of strange things.


    Despite having no gold or spirit stones, Chen Mobai still enthusiastically walked around the market to understand the cost of items in this world.


    Turns out, lower-tier Qi Cultivators generally trade in gold, with spirit stones being incredibly valuable for them.


    The conversion rate between gold and spirit stones was conventionally ten thousand pieces of gold for one spirit stone.


    However, when actually exchanging, spirit stones would definitely be more precious and would come with a premium.


    The transactions at the stalls were mostly in gold, with only very few items useful for cultivators of the fourth layer or above being traded in spirit stones.


    Chen Mobai noticed a stall selling books. A complete Qi Cultivation Technique was actually divided into upper, middle, and lower parts for selling. He originally found this quite bizarre, until he saw another stall selling the same Qi Cultivation Technique divided into nine parts for the nine levels of Qi Cultivation. One copy costs one spirit stone. Business seemed good, as it appeared most loose cultivators could only afford one copy.


    Chen Mobai was tempted. He could easily get hundreds of this Qi Cultivation Technique online, however, he didn¡¯t dare to resell them. After all, every download came with a pledge from him. If he passed it on for someone else to cultivate, then the Heart Demon might emerge, which wouldn¡¯t bode well.


    However, he did have a technique that wasn¡¯t downloaded from the cultivation world.


    ¡°Blackwater Cultivation¡±!


    After strolling around the stalls, he realized this technique was also being sold and the price tag wasn¡¯t cheap either.


    It was priced at eight spirit stones.


    Moreover, this was just the price for the cultivation technique. If you wanted supplementary spells, you would need to add more spirit stones.


    ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡± for two spirit stones, ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡± for three spirit stones, and the ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡± was not even for sale He asked and found out that the stall owner¡¯s copy was not a complete version and could only be cultivated up to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation.


    Chen Mobai took a deep breath to cool himself down.


    He recalled the spoils he¡¯d originally received, it seemed there were a few bottles of elixirs.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He could neither identify nor dared to consume them, but if he brought them to the stall for selling, there might be some ¡®connoisseurs¡¯ interested in them.


    Where did he place those few elixirs?


    It seemed like they were at the bottom of his bedside cabinet. He would bring them over when he returned home.


    Chen Mobai went around the magic instrument stalls once again. Without needing to ask the price, after standing for a while, he heard many cultivators haggling with the stall owner. He silently noted down the prices in his heart and compared them to the needle box he had.


    An item of similar grade actually has a value of thirty spirit stones..

 Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Nourishing Thought Forge God

    Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Nourishing Thought Forge God


    Technique_i


    Translator: 549690339


    Upon understanding most of the market prices, Chen Mobai felt a sense of unrest in his heart.


    It was only now that he realized, the items he merely saw as common goods could actually be worth so many Spirit Stones.


    No wonder cultivators in this world openly discussed selling items. With just a golden belt and a couple of packages he picked up from ordinary Qi Practitioners, he had nearly fifty Spirit Stones worth of resources.


    Too bad he came to Southstream Market this time only to understand the market trend and gather information.


    Because the impression left by the Eastern Wilderness was of a lawless and cruel world of cultivation, he only brought items that could be used for battle like the needle box from the Flying Needle Sect disciple, a hand crossbow, and an old man¡¯s short sword.


    Although he was quite reluctant, magical artifacts are external objects after all, they are nowhere near as good as exchanging them for Spirit Stones, which can then be converted into self-improvement.


    However, Chen Mobai was cautious by nature and did not hastily set up a stall for sale.


    He clearly remembered that the needle box was a magic artifact of the Flying Needle Sect. According to the disciple handbook of this sect, there were Foundation Establishment cultivators who were in power. Moreover, such a magic artifact was rare in the entire Eastern Wilderness. Upon encountering a disciple from the Flying Needle Sect, he would not be able to explain himself, and they would certainly think that Chen Mobai had committed murder for treasures.


    For now, he dared not sell the needle box, but it was different for the hand crossbow and short sword.


    He found stalls selling these two items were not uncommon in the market, especially the hand crossbow, which was very popular among low-rank Qi Practitioners.


    Probably because cultivators below the third level of Qi Cultivation couldn¡¯t resist a single blow from a crossbow bolt.


    These crossbow bolts were of course not the common iron-headed ones, but special crossbow bolts with Sharpness, Blast, and Gale Techniques applied. However, since carrying crossbow bolts was not as convenient as carrying spell bags, they were much cheaper in price, with ten pieces of gold per piece in the market.


    Arrows are consumable, but the crossbow is not the same. If you buy a good one, it can be used for a long time.


    The one Chen Mobai got from the Flying Needle Sect¡¯s disciple had decent quality. It was a foldable type that was not only convenient to carry, but also had the Fortitude and Aim Techniques applied. It was robust and accurate.


    After another round at various stalls, Chen Mobai confirmed the market price.


    500 pieces of gold.


    The short knife was completely worthless, two pieces of gold each. It seems like they are generally used as a bonus when buying magic artifacts.


    Having understood the magic artifact market and seeing that it was almost time, he decided to go back.


    Out of caution, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t immediately sell the Blackwater Cultivation and the hand crossbow. Mainly because gold was of little use to him, and bringing it back to the Immortal Sect and selling too much of it could easily attract the attention of market regulators.


    After all, the resources of the Immortal Sect were limited, and gold mines were controlled by the state. If too much flowed into the market and caused price fluctuations, it was sure to attract attention.


    Therefore, the best and safest method was to convert all the proceeds from sales into Spirit Stones that can be absorbed.


    Before leaving, he went to the stalls selling pills and took another look. But there were fewer people here. He observed and found that all the stall owners selling pills had a sign: defective products processed by a certain pharmacy. Basically, no one claimed they made the pills, it seems that both worlds have the same attitude towards pills.


    If it¡¯s not made by a renowned Alchemist, you generally wouldn¡¯t dare to take


    it.


    Let alone products of unknown origin, if you¡¯re selling them, you have to hang a sign of a large pharmacy, otherwise, few cultivators would ask for the price. It seems that it will be hard to sell those bottles of pills.


    Chen Mobai thought of the war booty he kept at the bottom of his bedside table and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    After understanding the general situation, he no longer lingered, and under the twilight, he turned around and left Southstream Market.


    At the door, he again met the teenager in hemp clothes who wanted to be a guide to make money. When the boy saw Chen Mobai, he humbly bowed his head. This attitude stunned Chen Mobai who initially wanted to greet him, and then he couldn¡¯t help but shake his head and smile.


    ¡ö¡öIt turns out that our ancient custom of breaking the four olds on Earth¡¯s Yuan Planet was justified. This feudal old society is not right.¡±


    However, he was merely an outsider; a mere Qi Practitioner at Rank-6. He wouldn¡¯t have dared to criticize or scrutinize the social environment that these people had grown up in their entire lives.


    Chen Mobai silently walked out of the Fang Market¡¯s gates, disappearing into


    the mist of the formation.


    The Southstream Market outside has a formation, but the power of this formation isn¡¯t fully activated. It¡¯s just there to prevent ordinary people from getting close.


    An interesting idea popped into Chen Mobai¡¯s mind on his way back.


    If he didn¡¯t return to the Water Mansion to hit the ¡°Town Portal¡±, could he still succeed?


    He stopped, found a deserted valley, took out his phone, and surely enough, the [Town Portal] key protruded and was still lit up on the Turtle Treasure app. He could press it.


    in other words, within the Tianhe Realm, he was not confined to the Water Mansion. As long as he had his phone, he could return home from anywhere at any time.


    Then the problem arose again.


    If the location of [Town Portal] was changed, would his next teleportation be here? Or would it still be at the Water Mansion?


    Chen Mobai thought about it for a while, but in the end, he didn¡¯t dare to give it a try.


    He returned to the Water Mansion.


    However, when heading home, he had a sudden thought and went to the side hall.


    in this way, he could see where he would end up when he arrived next time. If he still appeared in the main hall, it meant that the teleportation location was fixed. If he appeared in the side hall, it meant that wherever he was when he activated the [Town Portal], that¡¯s where he would end up when he teleported back.


    In a flicker of silver light, Chen Mobai returned home.


    He felt that he might have missed something in his logical thinking about [teleportation] and [Town Portal], but after thinking it over, he couldn¡¯t figure out where the loophole was, so he could only shake his head and temporarily give up.


    He glanced at the time on his phone ¨C it was almost time for dinner.


    His mother had gone to work in the afternoon, and he had to cook dinner alone in the evening.


    Well, he was accustomed to it anyway.


    As Chen Mobai cooked some Spirit Rice, he logged into the Blue Emperor account he had in the National Library with his phone.


    He used his points to download the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡±.


    Although he was very interested in the physical-consciousness Cultivation Method, and wanted to give it a try, he had no way to purchase Rank-2 Mind Incense, and the Blue Emperor account couldn¡¯t afford the ¡°Exciting God Travelling Heaven Technique¡±. Thus, the orthodox path was his only option. This was better anyway. Cultivating in this way produced a well-rounded Divine Consciousness, which didn¡¯t need daily incense burning for stability. While waiting for the rice to cook, Chen Mobai read through the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡± once and understood it broadly by comparing the experiences shared by experts on the Auxiliary Cultivation software. Even with the experiences of his predecessors, his practice was still very difficult.


    To cultivate thoughts, one must first ¡°Enter Tranquility¡±, and after entering tranquillity, one needs to ¡°Contemplate¡±.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    One can contemplate anything in this world, but according to the experiences of others, it¡¯s best to contemplate a scene that suits one¡¯s state of mind.


    This scene should be powerful but not shocking, which sounds very contradictory.


    Fortunately, there¡¯s a detailed explanation on the Auxiliary Cultivation software: Contemplating powerful things can quickly grow one¡¯s thought cultivation, but if it¡¯s too shocking, it can cause emotional fluctuations, which will be counter-productive.


    Therefore, cultivators must carefully control the degree of contemplation during practice.


    Chen Mobai considered his own experiences, scratching his head in thought. Finally, he recalled the ¡°Emerald Phoenix Tree¡± he saw this morning..

 Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Qing Nu j

    Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Qing Nu j


    Translator: 549690339


    As a Rank-4 high-quality Spirit Wood rarely seen among the Immortal Sects, the Beryl Phoenix Tree, when converted to the realm of Immortal Cultivation, is equivalent to Nascent Soul.


    However, Spirit Woods face great difficulty in attaining enlightenment. Despite possessing enormous spiritual energy on par with Nascent Soul Level, the Beryl Phoenix Tree has not yet developed its spirituality. Since its upgrade to Rank-4 a thousand years ago, it has enhanced the fire vein rank and scope of the Red Dawn Institution, but it has shown no tendency to transform spiritually.


    This Spirit Wood perfectly embodyies the condition of being powerful yet unshocking.


    Chen Mobai began to enter tranquility and contemplate with peace of mind. However, the first step of ¡°entering tranquility¡± stumped him.


    Perhaps, due to his recent experiences, his mind¡¯s cluttered thoughts noticeably increased. Trying to suppress it all and maintain mental clarity was proving difficult.


    Fortunately, the predecessors of the Immortal Sect had anticipated Chen Mobai¡¯s situation. At the starting of ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡±, there was a companion ¡°Calming Incantation¡±. He recited it silently several times, and approximately two hours later, he finally understood a state of mind that was serene and silent.


    In this quiet state, Chen Mobai visualized the towering tree he had seen today. After an unknown amount of time, he felt as if his spirit was a seed, awakening from a long dormant state. The quiet vitality began to shine, and a tiny green bud slowly broke through the ground.


    This process was very intriguing. All of Chen Mobai¡¯s senses seemed to have transformed into this green bud. While absorbing nutrients from the earth it was also yearning for sunlight. The arduous progress of breaking through the earth made him feel his spiritual growth constantly.


    He had a feeling that as soon as the bud freed itself completely from the earth¡¯s ties, his divine sense would be completed.


    This process might require a considerable amount of time, but the satisfaction of seeing his progress at every moment filled Chen Mobai with delight.


    After a night spent pondering and crafting divinity, Chen Mobai woke up feeling mentally exhausted. However, his soul was clearer than ever before, as if all the dust in his heart had been wiped away.


    ¡°This Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique is indeed a meritorious path. By just entering tranquility every day over a long period of time, the divine sense will naturally be cultivated.¡±


    Chen Mobai was excited, but he didn¡¯t know that many Qi Cultivation Level 6 practitioners would stumble on the first step ¡°Entering Tranquility¡±. Typically it would take a period of time, ranging from a few days to months of practicing the Calming Incantation, to eliminate all distractions and feel the revival of their spirit.


    He was still under the effect of the Dream-shattering Song, his spirit had awakened, and that¡¯s why he managed to succeed overnight.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know these key points, but Chen Baolan did, and that¡¯s why she reminded him not to cultivate spiritual power in the next few days, but to focus on feeling the divine sense. However, she didn¡¯t expect her nephew¡¯s good fortune, being able to visualize the Beryl Phoenix Tree and succeed in entering tranquility.


    After eating something casually in the morning, he spent the whole morning in school with his eyes closed, resting.


    By lunch break, Chen Mobai had recovered his spirit, and seemed to learn more efficiently on the Auxiliary Cultivation software.


    ¡°No wonder cultivators always advocate that cultivation realm comes first. I¡¯ve just begun to sense divine sense, and my learning and comprehension speed are already double from before. If those cultivators whose divine sense is fully developed can leave their bodies, wouldn¡¯t their efficiency be even more impressive?¡±


    Once the cultivation realm improved, the efficiency and progress of learning knowledge in the same amount of time far exceeded the times without divine sense.


    For such a reason, Immortal Sect cultivators would only focus on Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal when they faced a bottleneck.


    Who would want to work if they could concentrate on cultivating immortality? Although Doyuan Star was a Cultivation Civilization, numerous social relationships were still unavoidable shackles for cultivators.


    For example, Chen Mobai wanted the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. Not only could it help him quickly upgrade his realm, but it could also help his father achieve perfection in Qi Cultivation Level 9.


    Hence, after much thought, he finally decided to cooperate with Qing Nu.


    Although there were many Alchemists in Red Sandstone City, the ones at Rank-2 were few and far between. As Qing Nu was able to become an apprentice under the chief of the Evergreen Pharmacy, her alchemic talents were indeed not bad.


    Chen Mobai had looked up the recipe for Qi-replenishing Spirit Water on the medicine bottle. All the ingredients were Rank-t, and after checking the prices online, the cost of producing a pot of spirit water concentrate was about 6000 Good Deed Points. If everything went well, one pot of concentrate could produce 50 tubes of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    According to the last bidding price of 200 Good Deed Points per vial, the profit was indeed attractive.


    However, it¡¯s well known that the initial investment for an Alchemist is huge, and to successfully train one is uncertain. Once they¡¯re finally trained, they might just seek brighter prospects elsewhere.


    But Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t have the time to learn himself, and within the school, the teacher who instructs the Pill Course is just a Rank-1 Lingzhi Husband. Because a Rank-1 Alchemist can earn more working in a pharmaceutical factory, due to the limited teaching resources at the high school, they could only hire a Lingzhi Husband who primarily teaches cultivation and preservation of medicinal herbs.


    Even so, it was the principal who took the initiative to invite this Lingzhi Husband from Cinnabarite Institute.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the resources of the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai would definitely not consider nurturing an Alchemist.


    But now, he wanted to give it a shot.


    Because the pills from the Cultivator that can be purchased on the market are too hard to get hold of, even Foundation Establishment cultivators have to abide by this rule. Therefore, many top-ranked cultivators will cooperate with alchemists to mutually benefit each other.


    But this kind of trust requires long-term cooperation.


    Chen Mobai wonders if he can trust Qing Nu.


    But isn¡¯t all trust cultivated from nothing at the beginning?


    After school, he first went home to change out of his school uniform, and when the time was almost right, he headed towards Evergreen Pharmacy.


    ¡°Hello¡­¡±


    When he entered, Qing Nu was already standing behind the counter waiting for him, wearing casual white clothes, her long hair slightly curled. Seeing Chen Mobai, she smiled and greeted him.


    Because she didn¡¯t need to extract medicinal fluids today, she wasn¡¯t wearing a mask, so Chen Mobai finally got a clear look at her face. Her skin was snow-white, her face was like a delicate egg, her nose small and lips red. Her eyes, bright as gems, matched perfectly with her sweet smile and the small dimple on her cheek. Her overall temperament was pure, with a touch of naivety.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I seem to have arrived late.¡±


    ¡°No, no, I also came over after school. Let¡¯s go eat, my treat.¡±


    Qing Nu got tickets to the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe and seemed very happy. She took the initiative to invite Chen Mobai to dinner.


    ¡°If you leave, will the shop be closed?¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Qing Nu grabbed her small bag and shouted to the back door, ¡°Teacher, I have something to do today. You¡¯ll have to manage the shop.¡±


    ¡°Okay, just remember not to stay out all night.¡±


    An old and majestic voice came from the back door. It must be the manager of the Evergreen Pharmacy, but his words caused Qing Nu¡¯s cheeks to flush. She couldn¡¯t help but spit.


    ¡°What are you talking about? We¡¯re just going for dinner and to see a show!¡±


    She walked out from behind the counter, allowing Chen Mobai to finally see her entire graceful figure. Her waist was slim, and she was wearing blue denim shorts and a pair of well-washed canvas sneakers. Her long, straight legs were full of energy.


    Standing in the sunlight at the entrance, her entire body was as white as beautiful jade, flawless.


    By the way, I still don¡¯t know your name?¡±

    She asked.


    ¡°Chen Mobai!¡±


    ¡°My name is Qing Nu.¡±


    ¡°And your family name?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a family name, just Qing Nu..¡±

    Chapter 44: Chapter 44 ¨C Main Medicine, Auxiliary Medicine 1


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai felt puzzled.


    Were there really people in this world without a last name?


    Seeing that Qing Nu had already walked away, he decided not to ask and just followed her.


    ¡°The grilled fish here is especially good. I only splurge on this meal once every month when I get my paycheck.¡±


    Chen Mobai followed Qing Nu to a small restaurant tucked away in a corner of the city. Being familiar with the place, she picked up a menu and was about to order a spicy dish, then remembered that she¡¯s the one treating him.


    ¡°You pick something.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never eaten here, you can go ahead and order. Just make it not too spicy.¡± Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s request, Qing Nu simply ordered grilled fish in a pepper and salt style instead of the spicy version. She also added lotus root slices, bean sprouts, and glass noodles, and ordered two sodas to round out their meal.


    ¡°How is it? The taste isn¡¯t bad, right?¡±


    Qing Nu seemed happy with her choice. Chen Mobai tried it out and found that the side dishes were indeed tasty. The fish, however, was quite average. Having enjoyed Azure Blood Carp from Lake Azure Cloud consistently, which even the Gold Core masters in Tianhe realm found irresistible, the fish they could source here in the mundane world just couldn¡¯t compare.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡±


    All Chen Mobai could muster was a neutral comment. Qing Nu shot him a white look in apparent disapproval of his lack of social tact, but that didn¡¯t stop her from relishing the meal. She managed to finish the majority of the large portion they¡¯d ordered.


    ¡°Do you like grilled fish a lot?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, watching Qing Nu take a sip of soda to alleviate the greasiness of the meal.


    ¡°Mm, the first time I ate out, it was here. Since then, I¡¯ve always thought that this place serves the best food in the world.¡±


    ¡°Next time, I can personally catch a fish, and with the condiments from this restaurant, I guarantee the taste will be even better.¡±


    Although he had already eaten all the Azure Blood Carp in Lake Azure Cloud, there were still some offspring left over. The taste might not be as good as the original, but it will definitely be better than what this restaurant serves. Upon hearing this, Qing Nu didn¡¯t know how to respond and stood there momentarily dumbfounded.


    The owner was clearing their table at the moment which made the scene extremely awkward.


    Who would have thought someone could criticize the fish right in front of the owner!


    Qing Nu concluded that the boy sitting in front of her was seriously lacking in social grace.


    ¡°The play is about to start. We should go.¡±


    Originally planning for a leisurely chat after the meal, now Qing Nu had to hastily pay the bill and pulled Chen Mobai away citing the play as the excuse. ¡°Do you have any affordable sources for the raw material for the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water?¡±


    The pair found a quiet coffee shop to continue discussing matters related to their upcoming collaboration.


    ¡°No, everything in our store was packaged by the Baoping Pharmacy and sent over. My master handles the item list and I sign when the items arrive.¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head.


    ¡°I looked at the formula. It mainly requires three primary ingredients and four supplementary ones. The primary ones are easy, I could find them online, but there¡¯re so many brands for the supplementary ones, I¡¯m not sure which to choose?¡±


    Chen Mobai took out the tube of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water he hadn¡¯t opened yet and handed it to Qing Nu.


    The three primary ingredients are Huang Jing, Baizhu, and Fangfeng. Since they¡¯re only refining a Rank-1 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, ten years worth of medicinal effectiveness will suffice. These are common ingredients that anyone with Good Deed Points can purchase.


    However, the four supplementary ingredients were different; they were Dextrin, Mannitol, Flavor Modifier, and Fengling Substance.


    These seemed more like industrial materials with so many different brands, it was hard to know which worked best.


    ¡°Use this brand for Dextrin, this one produces good Mannitol, this factory has a good Flavor Modifier, and if you¡¯re consuming the result right after synthesis, you can use the cheapest Fengling Substance¡­¡±


    As expected of a professional, Qing Nu quickly pointed out which brands they should buy from and spoke confidently, having evidently planned out the whole thing beforehand.


    I understand the purpose of Fengling Substance from its name; it should be used to seal the Spiritual Water after completion to prevent the medicinal effect from leaking out. But what are the functions of the other three?¡± ¡°Dextrin is for combining the medicinal properties of the three main herbs, Mannitol is to enhance absorption by the human body, and the Flavor Modifier is for sweetening. The original mix is extremely bitter, and without a Flavor Modifier, it¡¯s hardly consumable.¡±


    ¡°So, are you saying we can leave out the Flavor Modifier?¡±


    Chen Mobai posed another question, causing Qing Nu to choke.


    I mean, it¡¯s not entirely necessary. We can save 500 Good Deed Points that way. But are you sure about this? You don¡¯t like the taste of herbs, right? I¡¯ve tasted the Spiritual Water without the Flavor Modifier before, it¡¯s extremely bitter.¡±


    While Qing Nu continued trying to persuade him, Chen Mobai began to waver. He really didn¡¯t like the taste of herbs.


    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll go with your suggestions for the ingredients for the first batch. How will we solve the issues of location and equipment?¡±


    ¡°Well, I could try borrowing my master¡¯s medication pool and Cold Brewing Machine initially. If he notices and objects, then well have to find another way.¡±


    The pair continued discussing finer details. Qing Nu also helped Chen Mobai select a few online suppliers for the primary ingredients on Xuemen Net, some of which her master also orders from, ensuring their quality.


    Without further questions, Chen Mobai placed the orders following her instructions. Both the address and recipient he entered were Evergreen Pharmacy and Qing Nu, considering she was usually the one signing for packages at the store, keeping it safe from teacher¡¯s discovery.


    After purchasing all three primary ingredients and four supplementary ones, the ten thousand Good Deed Points Chen Mobai had earned from converting¡¯ Spirit Stones were reduced by more than half.


    How many tubes can you ensure to produce out of a single batch?¡±


    Chen Mobai picked up the unsealed tube of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water that was on the table and asked.


    ¡°Somewhere between 10 to 20 tubes.¡±


    ¡°Ahem¡­.¡±


    Mid-drink, Chen Mobai almost choked on his coffee.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that setting up for certain loss?¡±


    ¡°Some initial investment is definitely required. Don¡¯t worry, once I get proficient, you¡¯ll start reaping profits.¡±


    Qing Nu clenched her slender fingers tightly and patted her chest, full of confidence.


    But all Chen Mobai could do was heave a sigh.


    Well, no other options were there. Being in Xuemen where resources were scarce, if he wanted to use ¡®Qi-replenishing Spirit Water¡¯ or even better medicinal items with no restrictions, having an Alchemist was the best choice.


    He could only hope that the girl in front of him was worth the investment.


    Come on, we¡¯re allowed in the theater now.¡±


    Checking the time, Qing Nu immediately urged Chen Mobai to head out, eager to watch ¡®Stepping on the Moon¡¯ by the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe.


    In the theater.


    Chen Mobai sat down in his seat, his face somewhat awkward.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He had overlooked something.


    ¡°Brother, is she your girlfriend?¡±


    To his left was his younger cousin, Wang Xinying who he had given a ticket to for Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s performance today.


    Her eyes widened, and she scrutinized the beautiful Qing Nu sitting to the right of Chen Mobai.


    Qing Nu blushed a little, bowing her head in confusion due to the blunt question from the innocent young girl..

 Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Asking for Directions 1

    Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Asking for Directions 1


    Translator: 549690339                  ¡ª


    Chen Mobai also seemed a bit at a loss.


    He wanted to explain that they were just ordinary friends, but wouldn¡¯t this kind of thing usually be denied by the girl? However, Qing Nu just lowered her head, her slender, snow-white fingers constantly intertwining, and remained silent.


    Fortunately, at this moment, the entire theater darkened.


    A long and crisp shout at the start drew Wang Xinying¡¯s attention immediately to the stage.


    The two stars of the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe came on stage.


    The first one to come out was Jiang Yuyuan, who played the young male lead. He was indeed handsome and elegant. What was even more remarkable was that he was bare-chested, showing off his masculine physique with eight-pack abs. He possessed both beauty and fitness, truly deserving the title of the number one young man in the cultivation world.


    But Chen Mobai was a man, who just watched, listened, and tasted with an appreciation for the play.


    Meng Huang, who came out next, was the one who caught his eye.


    She was dressed in a lavish costume, draped in a robe as light as gauze. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with clear high features, a Mei Hua petal dotting her smooth forehead, extraordinarily beautiful. Her small and exquisite melon seed face was painted with two lunar arcs in red, contrasting with the white lead makeup on her face, showing a holy demeanor.


    Every household would know the story of ¡°Stepping on the Moon¡±. The goddess Meng Huang played eventually ascended to the moon in sorrow. Even though Chen Mobai had long known it was a tragedy, he still felt as if he was experiencing it himself, a kind of inexplicable sadness in his heart after watching it.


    ¡°After immersing myself in the appreciation, my divine consciousness, which was about to fade due to the expiration of the Dream-shattering Song, was indeed awakened once again.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai came to listen to the play, not only to see Meng Huang, the number one maiden in the cultivation world, but also for his own cultivation.


    The Dream-shattering Song from Bian Yiqing had helped him open the door to Divine Consciousness Cultivation, but this wasn¡¯t something he had achieved himself, and by now, its effect had completely faded. Even with the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique, he gradually felt that the speed at which his seed of contemplation would break through the soil was slowing down.


    If one song was not enough, naturally he would need another.


    Fortunately, he still had tickets. Even though Bian Yiqing had stopped performing, the two actors from the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe, considering their reputation and the great responsibility bestowed upon them by the cultivation community, should have some effect similar to the Dream-shattering Song in their performances. So, Chen Mobai came to listen. And indeed, it was a full harvest.


    When Jiang Yuyuan and Meng Huang left the stage, he stood up from the heart and applauded loudly.


    Not only him, but Wang Xinying and Qing Nu beside him, and even the thousands of cultivators inside the theater, all stood up, expressing their gratitude to the pair who had performed a perfect song. The cheers were like raging waves, never-ending.


    It was only after the two actors from the Jade Phoenix Theatre Troupe left the stage for more than ten minutes and confirmed that they would not return, that the cultivators in the theater reluctantly stood up and started to leave.¡¯ ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯m going to take you home first.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t like to queue and be crowded with people, so he waited until most people had left before he stood up and said to Wang Xinying.


    ¡°No need, bro, my dad will pick me up, you can take sister-in-law home.¡±


    Wang Xinying promptly flicked through countless TV dramas she¡¯d seen in her mind, and skillfully assisted in this situation.


    ¡°Just call me sister.¡±


    At this moment, Qing Nu finally responded, and somewhat shyly asked Wang Xinying to change her address.


    ¡°Goodbye, sister, see you next time.¡±


    As Wang Xinying spoke, she blinked at Chen Mobai.


    But despite her reassurances, he called his uncle, Wang Jianyuan, to confirm that he was already in the parking lot waiting. Chen Mobai let Qing Nu wait at the door again, and personally took Wang Xinying over to hand her to her family.


    Remember, don¡¯t say anything unnecessary to your parents.¡±


    ¡°I understand, bro, after all, relationships at your age usually end by the time you start college. But this sister seems to be a good person, so don¡¯t be too terrible to her.¡±


    Before getting in the car, Chen Mobai instructed Wang Xinying over and over again. She beat her chest and made a guarantee, but her words made Chen Mobai knock on her forehead.


    ¡°What are you talking about, am I that kind of person?¡±


    It was not until Chen Mobai greeted uncle Wang Jianyuan and watched them leave, that he himself turned back.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have kept you waiting.¡±


    Qing Nu was in the same place where he had left her, having not moved at all.


    ¡°No, not at all. Your sister is quite adorable.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not true. She¡¯s quite a handful¡­¡±


    With that, the conversation between the two suddenly became awkward.


    Having finished discussing their collaboration and the performance, they were at a loss for topics to talk about.


    ¡°I¡¯ll walk you home.¡±


    No need, I can take the bus back on my own.¡±


    Qing Nu took out a student card from her bag. Chen Mobai took a glance at it and noticed that it was from the number one high school in Red Sandstone City.


    That¡¯s the public school with the highest entrance scores. Does she have exceptional Spiritual Root Talent?


    Right, I don¡¯t even know what level of Qi Cultivation she is?


    ¡°Let¡¯s walk together. Although this city is safe, you never know if there¡¯s a rogue cultivator on the loose. It¡¯s dark out, we can keep each other company.¡± Chen Mobai¡¯s words gave Qing Nu pause, and she found herself looking at him a second time longer.


    Actually, she was just looking for a patron for her alchemy cultivation, but it seemed to have turned into something like a date now.


    No way, no way!


    Stay composed!


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Even though she protested in her mind, her words didn¡¯t follow suit.


    The two walked side by side to the bus station. After waiting for ten minutes a bus finally arrived. Although Chen Mobai wanted to take a taxi, Qing Nu shook her head, saying it was wasteful.


    Once they got on the bus, they sat in the last row, still in awkward silence.


    ¡°This is my stop. I¡¯ll get off here.¡±


    After five stops, Qing Nu was the first to stand.


    ¡°Okay, see you tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Mmm, you can come over after dinner. My teacher won¡¯t be in the shop then.¡± Qing Nu hesitated for a moment, and whispered these words as she moved past Chen Mobai.


    Two stops later, it was Chen Mobai¡¯s turn to get off.


    As soon as he got off the bus, a young man dressed in a blue and white robe asked him for directions.


    Excuse me, how can I get to Evergreen Pharmacy?¡±


    ¡°Turn left at the intersection over there and go straight till the end. But the pharmacy is closed in the evening.¡±


    Qing Nu might be there on normal days, but definitely not today. According to her, her teacher, Gu Changfeng, always finished his work at five o¡¯clock sharp and never stayed a minute longer.


    ¡°Oh, I see, thank you.¡±


    The young man in the blue and white robe thanked Chen Mobai politely upon hearing his answer.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°If you need to buy some medicine, you can wait for this bus and take it two stops down. You¡¯ll see another pharmacy once you get off.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    The boy in the blue and white robe still thanked him with a gentle smile, then stood waiting at the bus stop, seemingly willing to take Chen Mobai¡¯s advice and go to the other pharmacy.


    ¡°This person seems quite powerful.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s senses were still heightened from the effects of the Stepping Moon Tune. He vaguely sensed that this boy who asked for directions was like a boundless ocean, inscrutable..

 Chapter 46 - Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Map_l

    Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Map_l


    Translator: 549690339


    In the Immortal Sect, it¡¯s generally not appropriate to openly probe someone¡¯s cultivation level.


    However, Chen Mobai had experienced his father¡¯s spiritual power at the ninth level of Qi cultivation. He felt that even Chen Xinglan didn¡¯t exert as much pressure on him as this young boy did.


    Could it be that he¡¯s a Foundation Establishment cultivator?


    When Chen Mobai returned home, he kept thinking about the young boy at the bus station asking him for directions.


    The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.


    The boy was incredibly polite, even somewhat old-fashioned, which greatly resembled the demeanor of Foundation Establishment cultivators who were over a hundred years old.


    If he truly was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, then asking for directions was very strange.


    Out of the three hundred million cultivators in the Immortal Sect, those who have attained the Foundation Establishment have truly stepped onto the path of immortal cultivation. You could say that most cultivators are in service to those in the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Even though Red Sandstone City is a remote blessed land, it still has over a million permanent residents. Among these million Qi practitioners, there are less than fifty Foundation Establishment cultivators. These individuals control the city¡¯s economy, power, and resources ¨C you could say that all the cultivators in the city are serving them, creating value for them.


    For instance, the owner of the magic artifact factory where Chen Mobai¡¯s father worked was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Rank-2 Artifact refiner.


    The owner of the talisman factory where Chen Mobai¡¯s mother worked was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Rank-2 talisman maker.


    While the Immortal Sect advocates equality among all beings, in reality, those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage have an increased lifespan, divine senses fully developed for accelerated learning, and if they are willing to work hard, they can basically master most of the wealth.


    Qi practitioners simply cannot compete with Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even on a fair and just basis, they cannot match them solely based on time, not to mention that after Foundation Establishment, they typically master one of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal.


    The same talisman, if made by a Qi practitioner and a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if the latter¡¯s is slightly more expensive, most cultivators would buy the one made by the Foundation Establishment practitioner.


    This is even more true for elixirs and magic artifacts.


    It can be said that Foundation Establishment cultivators collectively own half of Red Sandstone City. Except for Qing Nu¡¯s master who is said to be eccentric and reclusive and maintains a single pharmacy store to keep up his hand skills, the rest are essentially among the upper echelons. Having a car when going out is the most basic.


    Why would a Foundation Establishment cultivator need to take the bus and ask for directions?


    Unless he is¡­ from outside.


    As Chen Mobai thought about this, his mind began to wander. He wondered if this boy was a friend of Qing Nu¡¯s master? They being Foundation Establishment cultivators after all, the boy might have just been visiting an old friend.


    But then he quickly shook the idea off, laid in bed and started practicing the Calming Incantation.


    Under the workings of the Stepping Moon Tune, his divine sense became more active, leading to numerous thoughts, which consequently disturbed his tranquility.


    However, he didn¡¯t practice the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡±.


    Because he had decided to fully utilize the cultivation room¡¯s time at school and moreover, he wanted to go to Southstream Market again that night.


    A silvery light flickered.


    Once again, he returned to the Water Mansion. As he looked around, his feelings became turbulent.


    He was sitting in the side hall.


    That is to say, the teleportation could only send him back to the place where he last departed, not to the main hall of the Water Mansion.


    However, the best course of action would be to test this outside the Water Mansion once more.


    Chen Mobai changed into his ancient costume, put on a wig to ensure no modern aura was present, activated the Azure Water Formation, and went ashore.


    Although Lake Azure Cloud was a short distance from Southstream Market, even if he used the Propulsion Technique at full force, it would still take him an hour to get there.


    It would have been great if he had a car.


    While thinking this, Chen Mobai arrived at the entrance of the market.


    That day he spent his time getting acquainted with the place without rushing to sell anything. When time was almost up, he left.


    This time, instead of returning to the Water Mansion, he found a desolate cave and activated the return function.


    The next day, when he clicked on the teleportation after school, a pop-up appeared on his screen.


    [Found an unfamiliar location (Unnamed), continue teleportation?]


    Huh?


    A new screen appeared on the Turtle Treasure software, and Chen Mobai clicked on [Yes],


    The shimmering silver light faded, and Chen Mobai opened his eyes, only to find that he was not in the Water Mansion but in the desolate mountain where he returned yesterday.


    Now he could confirm.


    The location he was teleported to was the same place he left last time.


    However, Chen Mobai noticed another difference. This time, when he activated the teleportation function in the Turtle Treasure software, a map-like interface appeared. It was quite plain for now, with only a water droplet-like icon, which most likely signified the Water Mansion, and a newly-appeared earthy-yellow triangle, which should represent his current location.


    Upon clicking the icons on the map on his phone, he found that he could rename them.


    So, he renamed the blue droplet as ¡°Water Mansion,¡± and the earthy-yellow triangle as ¡°Desolate Mountain.¡±


    [Once I have explored the entire Tianhe Realm, this blank map should be filled, right?]


    That was what Chen Mobai was thinking.


    After exploring the newly discovered feature for a while, he headed to the South Creek Market. Since it was close by, it only took him twenty minutes.


    Aside from the regular stalls, he also visited several large shops.


    They didn¡¯t accept gold there, instead, the transactions started with Spirit Stones.


    However, both the quality and grade of the items for sale in these shops far surpassed those of the street stalls.


    At a pharmacy in the Hundred Herb Pavilion, he saw a familiar bottle, which was exactly the same as the one he had obtained from the old man. Upon asking the shop assistant, he found out that it was a ¡°Gathering Yuan Pill¡± used by Qi Practitioners in the middle stage to enhance their spiritual power. Each bottle contained twelve pills and costs one Spirit Stone per bottle.


    He also tried to find the one the disciple from the Flying Needle Sect had, but he failed to find it. He suspected that it might be something unique to their sect.


    ¡°Senior, do you want to buy some Gathering Yuan Pills? All the pills sold in our Hundred Herb Pavilion are personally refined by the Alchemy Master from Back to Sky Valley, whose reputation resonates across the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    The shop assistant was a cultivator at the third level of Qi Cultivation. Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s attire, he thought that he was a potential customer and was passionate in his sales pitch.


    The Gathering Yuan Pills are of no use to me.


    ¡°Then we also have Juling Pills, which are used by practitioners in the late stage of Qi Cultivation to elevate their realm. The price is not expensive either, only eight Spirit Stones per bottle.¡±


    ¡°I have just recently taken a pill to break through my realm and am now stabilizing my cultivation level¡­¡±


    Unable to pretend any longer, Chen Mobai had no choice but to come up with an excuse and leave.


    He continued to wander around in other Magic Artifact Shops and Array Flag Shops for a while.


    At a bookstore, he picked up a book named ¡°Introduction to the Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness¡± to gain some general knowledge about the area. He stayed there until the shop assistant couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and was about to drive him away, only then did he leave the South Creek Market.


    Since he¡¯d be spending most of his time in the future exploring this place, he did not return to the Water Mansion this time, but went back to the Nameless Desolate Mountain and activated the teleportation ability to return to the city.


    The sky had turned dark when he got back.


    After finishing dinner, he went out for a stroll and made his way to the Evergreen Pharmacy.


    As he walked into the store and waited for a while, Qing Nu came out from the back door. Seeing him, she looked puzzled.


    ¡°Why are you dressed like this? I barely recognized you!¡±


    ¡°I am a fan of ancient styles.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    When Chen Mobai returned, he was too lazy to change and went out in the same ancient-style outfit. After all, there were many who dressed like this in the world of cultivation.


    ¡°By the way, I have a few bottles of elixirs that I bought from the Blind Box Market. Since you¡¯re the expert, can you help me check them out?¡±


    When Chen Mobai left the house, he brought along the four bottles of elixirs that he had stored at the bottom of his drawer. Even though he knew that three of them were Gathering Yuan Pills, he still wanted a professional to confirm it.


    ¡°These pills are poisonous!¡±


    The conclusion drawn by Qing Nu startled Chen Mobai, which was apparent in his facial expression..

 Chapter 47 - Chapter 47: Chapter 47- Wealth Creation Plan__l

    Chapter 47: Chapter 47- Wealth Creation Plan__l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    ¡°Poison!?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked perplexed.


    This is clearly a Gathering Yuan Pill, it is used for improving realm power, how could it possibly be poisonous?


    ¡°The toxin levels are grossly exceeding the standard, I will check which pharmacy it came from. As a good citizen, I should report this.¡± Qing Nu spoke, looking at the bottom of the pill bottle, it does have various information engraved.


    [Disciple of the Outer Gate of Back to Sky Valley, Lu Yuxuan].


    ¡°Back to Sky Valley? Is that the Huitian Pharmacy from Kuangcang Dongtian?


    But isn¡¯t that meant for brewing spiritual water only?


    A curious expression appeared on Qing Nu¡¯s face. Chen Mobai wiped the sweat off his forehead, quickly shifting the topic to prevent her from probing further and finding out more problems.


    ¡°What does it mean by excessive levels of toxin? Could all these bottles of medicinal pills be sub-standard?¡±


    ¡°The Immortal Sect¡¯s Drug Supervision Bureau stipulates that for all medicinal pills manufactured, the toxin level must be below 0.1%, which is below the detection capabilities of commonly used instruments. The standard medicinal pill, when taken by a cultivator, can be easily resolved by simply circulating one¡¯s spiritual power. The toxicity level of your three bottles of medicinal pills is far beyond the standard, quickly nearing 5%- Although it has the effect of elevating your realm after taking it, you will at least be weakened for ten days to half a month.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt extremely thankful. He owed it to his careful nature, avoiding medicinal pills with unknown origins.


    However, turning his thoughts, he felt sorry for the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm. Even such medicinal pills cost a spirit stone per bottle and they were still in high demand.


    As expected, it¡¯s much better back in the Di Yuan Star.


    ¡°The toxins in this particular pill are slightly less, only about 2%, probably because it¡¯s merely for restoring spiritual power, so the medicinal properties


    are lighter.¡±


    Qing Nu opened another pill bottle Chen Mobai won from the disciple of the Flying Needle Sect, this bottle lacks any identification marking, it¡¯s a product with no details. She took a small spoonful, placed it in her mouth, identifying the medicinal effect and toxin content with her own tongue.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of the toxins?¡±


    Chen Mobai watched her actions, his eyes bulged wide.


    ¡°A little doesn¡¯t matter, besides, we alchemists often also learn pharmacist skills, we will deal with toxins all our lives, we have specialized in the technique of detoxifying.¡±


    Amongst the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, one is a pharmacist, it¡¯s a profession that identifies medical pill information, provides prescription according to each cultivator¡¯s spiritual root and physical constitution, helping to breakthrough and improve realms.


    Generally speaking, an outstanding alchemist is also a distinguished pharmacist.


    Qing Nu appears to have accomplishments in this field too, after tasting it, she took a piece of paper and a pen hanging on the wall, she briskly wrote down several lines.


    ¡°Here, these are the effects I identified from the two types of medicines. It¡¯s better for you not to consume them, it¡¯s best to throw them away.


    In Qing Nu¡¯s eyes, these two types of medicine are sub-standard products from the pharmaceutical factory that should have been destroyed but were taken by dishonest merchants, dumped into the market.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll dispose them when I get back.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally nodded in agreement, then asked about the arrival of the raw material for the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    ¡°Four kinds of auxiliary drugs are here, one of the three main drugs are here too, the remaining two can arrive tomorrow. Do you want to come in and watch the extraction process?¡±


    Qing Nu invited, Chen Mobai has always been interested in alchemy, he nodded and followed her to the back of the pharmacy.


    Unexpectedly, his heart stirred with a touch of nervousness.


    They walked in, it was an open-air courtyard, eight large vats were laid out, half of them were covered.


    ¡°Here you go.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the thing Qing Nu handed over ¨C a mask, he nodded obediently and put it on.


    ¡°The Baizhu has already soaked, roughly after one night, all its medicinal properties will be dissolved. Before my teacher arrives tomorrow morning, I should pour the medicine liquid into the cold brewing machine to concentrate. Chen Mobai followed Qing Nu to a vat with its cover on, after she removed the wooden cover, the sealing spell instantly ceased, a strong medicinal aroma accompanied with a puff of smoke surged upwards.


    However, the mask was indeed very magical, completely isolating that annoying medicinal smell outside his nostrils, hence he couldn¡¯t smell anything.


    ¡°Is the water used for soaking it specially prepared, or is it regular Tianlu


    Water?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Tianlu Water.¡±


    Qing Nu was a little surprised, Chen Mobai actually knew this specialized term. ¡°My teacher mentioned it during class, saying the cost of this water is the lowest, and the effect of soaking and extracting medicine liquid is also quite good.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke, looked at the big vat full of soaked herbs, he nodded for Qing Nu to hurry and cover it back.


    ¡°Even though I can¡¯t smell it, I still feel a bit uncomfortable inside¡­¡± Before he even finished speaking, the bell hanging on the courtyard eaves suddenly rang.


    ¡°A customer is here, I¡¯ll go attend to them first.


    After covering the lid, Qing Nu gestured for Chen Mobai to sit on the rattan chair in the courtyard for a while, then she quickly headed towards the front door shop.


    Not even two minutes later, she came back.


    ¡°Oh, so soon?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s one of my teacher¡¯s classmates, he happens to be on a trip from Huayang Dongtian to Red Sandstone City, just came to visit. But since my teacher is not around, I dare not rashly give him my teacher¡¯s contact information, so I let him leave his name card, I¡¯ll give it to my teacher tomorrow.¡±


    Qing Nu spoke, took out a blue based, black letters, jade quality name card that appears to be a work of art.


    Chen Mobai took a brief look, noticed the two lines written on it.


    [Lan Haitian]


    [Rank-2 Pharmacist]


    For some reason, he thought of the youth who asked for directions last night. Could it be him?


    ¡°He matches your description, appears young but one could feel he¡¯s a conservative person.¡±


    Qing Nu nodded, confirming Chen Mobai¡¯s guess.


    Rank-2 pharmacist, there¡¯s a high chance he¡¯s a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Chen Mobai asked and then put it at the back of his mind.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave first, if there¡¯s anything you need help with, feel free to tell me.¡± The two are already friends now, currently in the stage of cultivating trust, both wanted to show their best side. Qing Nu also lightly nodded, seeing Chen Mobai off.


    After returning home, Chen Mobai ordered online, used nearly half of the remaining three thousand plus goodwill points on his card.


    He is stocking up.


    After these two days of on-site inspections of Southstream Market, he had an initial wealth plan.


    Di Yuan Star had advanced technology whereas Tianhe Realm was rich in resources.

    If he doesn¡¯t become a profiteer, it would be a waste of such a unique difference between the two realms.


    As to what to sell, he made a decision after some contemplation.


    Medicinal pills in both realms would need a large pharmacy factory before cultivators dare to purchase. He knew the Di Yuan Star¡¯s medicinal pills and spiritual water quality significantly exceeded those in the Tianhe Realm, but because they were too good, and the quality was too high, he did not dare to sell them.


    Qing Nu didn¡¯t know the origins of Back to Sky Valley, but he did. He saw from ¡°Introduction to the Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness¡± that it is one of the seven major sects, and the best alchemical sect in the Eastern Wilderness. Even the medicinal pills produced by this Back to Sky Valley carries such a toxin level, the medicinal pills he sold were almost without poison. Once a cultivator takes it, they would realize immediately. If this caused a sensation, it would certainly attract oppression from Back to Sky Valley.


    That did not align with his principle of keeping a low-profile in the Tianhe Realm..

 Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Wood Spiritual Talisman Store 1

    Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Wood Spiritual Talisman Store 1


    Translator: 549690339                  ¡ª


    Potions can¡¯t be sold.


    The remaining options are cultivation techniques and formations. However, cultivation techniques depend on the heart of Dao and formations are too high-end ¨C they are mostly purchased by large companies as a whole set.


    As for magical artifacts, he doesn¡¯t have enough starting capital.


    So, what was left was ¡°Talisman¡±.


    The Taoist sect¡¯s development of talismans has reached perfection and were applied to all aspects of society. Many people within Taoist sects prefer to focus solely on their cultivation and are not interested in learning minor life spells like the Cleaning Technique or Disease Dispellin Technique. Therefore, they use talismans, which are solidified spell.


    The greatest profit of the talisman factory where Chen Mobai¡¯s mother works from is ¡°Flying Talisman¡±.


    Flying is the dream of every human being, but Qi practitioners can¡¯t cultivate flying techniques, which makes the Flying Talisman the best-selling product. In Daoist sects, symbols such as Cleaning Talisman, Guidance Talisman and those for everyday life are the best selling ones.


    On the other hand, talismans such as the Wood Armor Talisman and Green Arrow Talisman, that Chen Mobai frequently buys, are less popular due to the Taoist sects¡¯ peaceful nature, making these products always in low demand. And because demand was low, the prices of these talismans remained low. However, it was different in the Tianhe Realm.


    Guidance Talismans, Cleaning Talismans and other non-combative talismans are considered rubbish items.


    Chen Mobai saw a business opportunity in this.


    He swept all the goods in the Wood Spiritual Talisman shop he previously visited. The shopkeeper seemed to be a Talisman Maker specialized in the wood-series. There were lower-grade Rank-1 Poison Talismans, Coiling Talismans, Wooden Shield charms, Wood Prison talismans and Detoxification Talismans in his shop, selling at 15 Good Deed Points each.


    Before Chen Mobai obtained the Turtle Shell opportunity, he earned pocket money by trimming talisman papers, a dozen sheets of trimmed small talisman paper which is the raw material of these lower-grade Rank-1 talismans could only be sold for 2 Good Deed Points.


    However, this does not mean that the merchants are ripping people off. The main input for talismans is the ¡°ink¡±. Different talismans may require differently dyed ink which needs to be carefully adjusted, it is a tedious procedure that if not handled properly, you might have to start all over again Of course, the ink required for making low and mid-rank talismans has basically been produced on assembly lines, but high-rank talismans still require Talisman Makers to personally prepare the ink.


    For this reason, the minimum price for an upper-grade Rank-1 talisman has skyrocketed to 500 Good Deed Points per piece.


    Chen Mobai checked the four talismans available in this store.


    Revival Talisman, Wooden House Talisman, Wood Spiritual Talisman and Soldier-transforming Talisman.


    Among them, the ¡°Revival Talisman¡± is equivalent to an enhanced version of Returning Primordial Spirit Water. It can restore consumed spiritual power and remove all negative statuses from the user¡¯s body, returning to peak condition in a very brief amount of time. Its price is 500 Good Deed Points each.


    The ¡°Wooden House Talisman¡± on the other hand is the best-selling life talisman. It can be used when you visit the outdoors and a livable wooden house can be summoned instantly.


    You are also able to customize the blueprint according to your needs during talisman making, such as a single room, a room with a living room, two rooms with a living room, three rooms with a living room, and it can even come with a courtyard. The price is set according to customizability, with the base price for a single room starting at 1,000 Good Deed Points.


    Chen Mobai was not familiar with the ¡°Wood Spiritual Talisman¡±, he read the introduction and was amazed.


    The Wood Spiritual Talisman allows the wearer to cultivate at the speed of a Perfect Wood-type Heavenly Spiritual Root when activated, but unfortunately, it only lasts for an hour. Moreover, the price of the talisman has surged to 5,000 Good Deed Points.


    The final talisman, which is the Soldier-transforming Talisman, is the only offensive talisman, yet it only costs 3,000 Good Deed Points.


    Apart from these four Rank-1 upper-grade talismans, there is another treasure of the shop ¨C a lower-grade Rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman.


    It s also an offensive talisman, and prices a bit low, only 50,000 Good Deed Points.


    When he was in Southstream Market, Chen Mobai inquired about the price of this talisman and they were basically starting from fifty spirit stones.


    He was tempted to buy a Wooden House Talisman and build his secondary base on the barren mountain in the Tianhe Realm, but the Wooden House Talisman was too expensive, so he had to give up for the time being.


    Chen Mobai bought 20 pieces of each of the five lower-grade Rank-1 talismans, and one piece of Revival Talisman, which cost him a total of 2,000 Good Deed Points.


    Looking at the drastic decrease in his remaining balance, Chen Mobai felt a different kind of satisfaction after spending money.


    After reselling these things to the Tianhe Realm, he could basically get a profit rate of ten times.


    With the dream of making a fortune, it took Chen Mobai a long time to enter tranquility and cultivate his metal pillar spirit.


    The next day.


    After returning from school, Chen Mobai first went to the Evergreen Pharmacy. All the medicinal materials were ready and Qing Nu started to show her skills.


    He did not disturb her further and quickly left.


    Because the talismans were purchased online, it would take some time for them to be delivered to him. So today, Chen Mobai could only do some preparatory work for setting up a stall.


    Meanwhile, he decided to get rid of the worn-out items on him.


    Southstream Market.


    When he arrived, he didn¡¯t see the young boy surnamed Liu, he must have gotten some business. However, the other boy who was a guide last time was there. He was excited when he saw Chen Mobai, but as he seemed to recall something, he didn¡¯t dare to come over.


    But Chen Mobai needed his help and waved him over.


    ¡°Senior, you were looking for me?¡±


    Looking nervous, Qi Er paid his respects to Chen Mobai and then came over.


    ¡°I have some stuff to sell, but there are too many different items and it¡¯s too slow to set up a stall. Do you have any other channels?¡±


    ¡°Would senior like it to be quick, or slow?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean by quick or slow?¡±


    Chen Mobai was interested and continued to ask.


    ¡°If you want it to be fast, you can directly sell your goods to any of the twenty-six stores in Southstream Market, as long as there¡¯s no issue with the origin of the items, these stores will accept anything. If you want it to be slow, you can hand over your items to the stall owners and leave them there. The stall owner will give you half of the spiritual stones base on the value of the item, and the remaining half will be given to you after the item is sold. After the sale, they will take 10% of the total as their commission.¡±


    The so-called stall owners, are those with the highest reputation among the market peddlers in Southstream Market.


    In fact, these people are also disciples of the six major forces, only facilitating them to control the whole Southstream Market.


    Qi Er explained the procedures to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What are these six major forces?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If it was before, Chen Mobai certainly wouldn¡¯t ask such common sense questions, but during his last visit, he got to know that many cultivators from other countries often visit this Market, so pretending to be an outsider wouldn¡¯t attract any attention.


    The four Foundation Establishment families native to our Yun Country might not be familiar to you, but you definitely have heard of the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Indeed, Chen Mobai had heard of them. According to the Introduction to the Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness, both are among the seven major sects. The Divine Wood Sect was even split from the Five Elements Sect. The disciples of the two sects usually end up fighting whenever they meet.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve this short sword to give to you. I also want to sell a Qi Cultivation technique book and some potions, of course there is no issue with their origins. Do you think those stores will buy them?¡±


    Qi Er accepted the short sword from Chen Mobai, his eyes sparkling at the sight. Although this thing isn¡¯t worth ten gold pieces, if he can help this senior successfully close the deal, the senior might give him more rewards if he¡¯s pleased. So he was very motivated to help out..

 Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Chapter 49: 22 Spirit Stones_l

    Chapter 49: Chapter 49: 22 Spirit Stones_l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    ¡°May I ask what the name of your cultivation technique is?


    ¡°Blackwater Cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Ah, I see. I¡¯m afraid you might not fetch a good price for it since the first seven levels are widely available in the market.¡±


    ¡°My technique can be cultivated up to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, and comes with three accompanying spells. They can be used all the way to the verge of Foundation Establishment.


    Upon hearing this, Qi Er promptly patted his chest, assuring that he would


    fetch a good price.


    ¡°However, if you trust me, you could sell this technique directly to Elder He. He is a stall owner who specializes in selling cultivation techniques, and he has always wanted to collect the complete Blackwater Cultivation technique. He would definitely see the value in having a complete copy of the technique with all nine levels and three accompanying spells. Even if you sell it to a stall owner, they will probably end up reselling it to him; it would be more straightforward to skip the middleman.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes brightened.


    Sure enough, seeking out these local wheelers and dealers when selling items was wisdom. He was also aware of the old man He who sold techniques; it was he who sold the seven levels of Blackwater Cultivation in Southstream Market.


    If Chen Mobai were to set up a stall to sell the nine levels of Blackwater Cultivation, it would be like blatantly trying to usurp He¡¯s business, which would certainly be deeply offensive. It would be better to directly sell it to He. Not only could he exchange it for some spirit stones, but he could also earn some goodwill.


    Qi Er brought Chen Mobai to a stall. After striking up a conversation with an elderly man sporting a goatee and a clear complexion, the three of them quickly got down to business.


    ¡°Very good, the previous seven levels are all authentic.


    The old man was named He Qun, a cultivator of the seventh level of Qi


    Cultivation. He took the books in which Chen Mobai had freshly copied the first eight levels of the technique from Chen Mobai. After carefully verifying them, he confirmed that the technique was correct and nodded approvingly.


    ¡°I intend to sell this complete copy of Blackwater Cultivation to Elder He. How much would it be worth?¡±


    ¡°How much do you wish to sell it for?¡±


    ¡°Selling price¡­ twenty spirit stones, what do you say?


    Chen Mobai had spent quite a bit of time in front of He Qun¡¯s stall previously and was well aware of the prices for which he sold Blackwater Cultivation. The price he quoted was right on the limit, causing He¡¯s eyes to narrow as he naturally started to barter.


    ¡°Friend, among loose cultivators, not many require a cultivation technique that goes up to the ninth level. Although your version of Blackwater Cultivation is complete, it is difficult to cultivate and thus not easy to sell. Furthermore, I already possess the first seven levels and two accompanying spells. I think asking for 20 spirit stones is a bit excessive.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have much experience with haggling, so when he heard what He Qun had to say, he was stuck and didn¡¯t know how to respond.


    ¡°Elder He, it¡¯s known that Blackwater Cultivation might be difficult to sell for others, but isn¡¯t it ideally suited for you?¡±


    At this point, Qi Er chimed in, taking over the conversation.


    ¡°Oh? And what do you mean by that?¡±


    He Qun squinted his eyes at Qi Er, a hidden threat radiating from his gaze. Qi Er somewhat recoiled, but remembering his slim chances at cultivation, he mustered his courage and spoke.


    ¡°Elder He, aren¡¯t you cultivating Blackwater Cultivation? For you, it should be necessary to collect the complete version. After all, for us loose cultivators, reaching the ninth level of Qi Cultivation is the only way to join one of the seven major sects and have a chance at getting a Foundation Building Pill.


    Upon hearing this, He Qun¡¯s eyes widened in shock, and he glared coldly at Qi


    Er.


    ¡°Elder, isn¡¯t it true that the later levels of the technique are worth more, and that only after mastering the Cold Ice Technique can this cultivation technique show its full potential?¡±


    Once Qi Er spoke up, Chen Mobai snapped out of his daze. He stepped forward to interrupt the glare from He. Sensing his cultivation level, He grudgingly nodded.


    ¡°Fine then, 20 spirit stones. But you have to swear that after you¡¯ve sold this copy of Blackwater Cultivation to me, you won¡¯t sell it to anyone else.¡± Chen Mobai gave it some thought. Although he felt that selling the exclusive rights to this technique for 20 spirit stones was a little unjustified, since he had decided to focus on the business of talismans later on, acquiring start-up funds sooner was the right move. Thus, he nodded immediately.


    ¡°Here.¡±


    He Qun counted up twenty spirit stones from his grey cloth bag and reluctantly handed them over to Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai then passed over the ninth level of Blackwater Cultivation and the Cold Ice Technique.


    After they had each checked their merchandise, they looked at each other.


    Chen Mobai then waved and left the stall with Qi Er.


    Next, he sold three Juling Pill bottles bearing the Back to Sky Valley logo to a cultivator who specialized in selling pills. However, since they were secondhand, despite no loss of potency, they could only sell for 2 spirit stones.


    Even so, Chen Mobai was very satisfied.


    The remaining Spirit Revitalizing Pill bottle, which didn¡¯t bear any logo, was recognized by the pill-selling cultivator to be in good condition, but he still refused to purchase it.


    The final item, the hand crossbow, was also successfully sold for 450 taels of gold thanks to Qi Er¡¯s introduction. He even helped to exchange the gold for gold tickets at the Five Elements sect¡¯s bank.


    While selling the medicine, a brilliant idea to make money came to Chen Mobai.


    Could he purchase empty pill bottles from Back to Sky Valley and make a massive profit out of it?


    However, it was just a thought. He still wanted to conduct business in a respectable manner. His education on Earth had taught Chen Mobai that maintaining a good reputation was a surefire way to keep the money flowing. ¡°You worked hard today. Here¡¯s a talisman for you, as a token of appreciation.¡± With 22 spirit stones and a stack of gold tickets in his arms, Chen Mobai was in high spirits. He took out a Green Arrow Talisman and gave it to Qi Er.


    ¡°Thank you, Elder. If you have similar work in the future, feel free to call upon me. Here in Southstream Market, there¡¯s no one we don¡¯t know.¡±


    Although Qi Er didn¡¯t know the grade of the talisman, he knew that even the lowest-grade talismans were worth over a hundred taels of gold in the market. Without any hesitation, he joyously accepted the Green Arrow Talisman from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°By the way, will He Qun cause any trouble for you since you¡¯ve offended him today?¡±


    As Chen Mobai was about to leave, he remembered this issue. He didn¡¯t want Qi Er to face any repercussions because of him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Elder. Though our cultivation levels are low, we have people backing us. Our society leader happens to be the Liu family¡¯s Guest Elder who is quite a prominent figure in Southstream Market. He Qun is known to act prudently and wouldn¡¯t harm me over such a minor issue.¡±


    Qi Er patted his chest and boasted about his connections.

    ¡°The Liu family? The one that breeds the Azure Blood Carp?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of the accounts recorded by Liu Yanpei. The document specifically mentioned this family. The Azure Blood Carp fry in Lake Azure Cloud were all purchased from this family.


    ¡°Yes, the very same Liu family, one of the four Foundation Establishment families in Southstream Market. Reportedly, they¡¯ve even connected with the Five Elements sect. A few years ago, they sent two children with True Spirit Roots to the Five Elements sect. It seems like they are planning to fully commit to this sect.¡±


    Qi Er spoke in a secretive manner. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand any of this, so he could only reply vaguely.


    However, thanks to this reminder, before he left, he went to the largest bookstore in the market again and bought the unfinished ¡°Introduction to the Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness¡±, along with ¡°An Introduction to Local Cultivation in Nanxi¡±, ¡°Distribution Map of Cultivation Powers in Yun Country¡±, and others..

 Chapter 50 - Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Achieving Divine Sense_l

    Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Achieving Divine Sense_l


    Translator: 549690339


    After purchasing the books, Chen Mobai left Southstream Market.


    As he left, two cultivators emerged from the shadowy alleyway.


    ¡°Should we follow him?¡±


    ¡°He Qun said he is at least at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, potentially hiding his true cultivation level, he might be a late-stage Qi Cultivator.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s not follow then.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. Based on his attire, he could be from a significant sect. We¡¯ve just managed to settle down in this market, it¡¯s not worth risking exposure for twenty Spirit Stones.¡±


    Due to the substantial amount of money he now has, Chen Mobai did not return to the Cultivation Room on Wild Mountain but went back to the Water Mansion instead.


    With twenty-two cleanly cut, transparent Spirit Stones before him, he felt an unprecedented sense of elation.


    If he were to bring those stones back to Earth, he could exchange them for two hundred and twenty thousand Good Deed Points at the bank.


    However, Chen Mobai certainly would not hand these Spirit Stones over to the national bank. Wouldn¡¯t that be unabashedly inviting the Immortal Sects to investigate the source of his vast wealth?


    He bagged two of the stones and stored the rest in his Water Mansion.


    Prior to going home, he did not forget to water the Green Paulownia seedling.


    The leaves appeared slightly greener than before, perhaps due to the decent Spiritual Energy in the Water Mansion.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai activated his teleportation key and was back in his room amidst a silver light.


    Good news kept coming his way.


    The next day at school, he received a message from Qing Nu.


    She said all the herbs had been cold extracted and all that was left was the final step of mixing.


    Initially, Chen Mobai thought he would be anxious, but surprisingly, he was exceptionally calm. Perhaps it¡¯s true what they say¡ªthe thicker the wallet, the more confident the man.


    When fortune destined, heaven and earth moved together.


    During his usual cultivation of the ¡®Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡¯ in the school¡¯s Cultivation Room, Chen Mobai noticed that he had unexpectedly broken through his bottleneck. The seed he had been contemplating broke through the soil and sprouted a green bud.


    At that instant, he had thoroughly grasped the transformation of the soul.


    ¡°This is¡­Divine Sense!¡±


    Having felt it once before, Chen Mobai was surprisingly calm. Inside the Cultivation Room, he observed himself internally. His colourful Spiritual Power was turning like a slow-moving whirlpool. However, the whirlpool was quite distorted and not round enough.


    After developing Divine Sense, he could actively correct the circulation of spiritual power within his body.


    Guided by the techniques described by Qing Ping, Chen Mobai slowly channeled his Spiritual Power in a clockwise motion to his Dantian, and slowly corrected the tilted whirlpool. After completing one cycle, the whirlpool which was previously a bit angular was finally less protrudent.


    He felt that in a little while, he should be able to completely form the Spiritual Power Vortex in his Dantian. Once this happens, the Five Elements Cultivation will automatically help condense his Spiritual Power, saving a significant amount of effort.


    According to the information on the Five Elements Cultivation, if this Spiritual Power Vortex is formed, it could even boost the probability of Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai took every word of Qing Ping as gospel. Now that he had developed his Divine Sense and could take the next step, he felt that his spiritual power seemed slightly refined.


    ¡°When the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water concoction is complete, I¡¯ll hand it over to Dad and also mention this to him.¡±


    Lost in his thoughts, his phone alarm rang¡ªit was time to leave the school¡¯s Cultivation Room.


    Chen Mobai stood up to leave.


    ¡°I heard that the representative from the Repairing Heaven Institute has arrived today.¡±


    ¡°The representative from the Dance Tool Dao Academy is said to be from the Bian family.¡±


    ¡°So only Jumang and Kunpeng of the four Daoist Academies are left. They should arrive soon given that they need ample time to arrange for their entrance exams.¡±


    As soon as he stepped out, a large group of students who had finished their cultivation at the same time were gathered in small clusters, sharing tidbits of information they had heard.


    ¡°I finally reached the fifth level of Qi Cultivation!¡±


    A loud, joyful cheer rang in Chen Mobai¡¯s ears. He turned and found it was Lu Hongsheng¡ªhis classmate.


    ¡°Impressive, well done.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations on no longer being bottom of the class.¡±


    Two of his girl classmates teased, drawing a rebuke from Lu Hongsheng.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be too quick to judge. I¡¯ve been laying a solid foundation and broke through naturally. Unlike some people who relied on pills, I wonder if their cultivation level is even stable yet.¡±


    As Lu Hongsheng spoke, he intentionally glanced in Chen Mobai¡¯s direction. He had always held a grudge against Chen Mobai for breaking through to the fifth level of Qi Cultivation during the holiday period.


    He had been harbouring resentment all this while, determined to prove himself better.


    Furthermore, he was a firm believer in cultivating without using concoctions. He believed that doing so would yield purer spiritual power which would make the transformation of Spiritual Power into liquid easier during Foundation Establishment, thus increasing the chances of success.


    ¡°Old Chen, I broke through a realm today, why don¡¯t we celebrate with a grand meal?¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai ignoring him, Lu Hongsheng deliberately approached, clearly wanting to show off.


    However, Chen Mobai was now at a higher cultivation level. After developing his Divine Sense, as long as his Spiritual Power was supplemented enough, he could easily step into the seventh level of Qi Cultivation. Suddenly, he felt an indescribable distance from these classmates who were still in the middle phase of Qi Cultivation.


    ¡°Some other day, I have plans with a friend today.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he turned to leave.


    ¡°A friend? Apart from us classmates, do you have other friends? I am in a good mood today, why don¡¯t you join us?¡±


    Lu Hongsheng walked up to stop Chen Mobai.


    However, Chen Mobai did not slow down. He released his sixth level Qi Cultivation Spiritual Power instantly, breaking through Lu Hongsheng¡¯s Qi aura who had just advanced to the fifth level of Qi Cultivation.


    ¡°How is it possible¡­¡±


    After the aura was broken, Lu Hongsheng swayed unsteadily. Chen Mobai put a hand on his shoulder to anchor him.


    ¡°After a breakthrough, one shouldn¡¯t get too excited, or else, there¡¯s a high probability of falling back.¡±


    After offering this piece of advice, Chen Mobai removed his hand from his classmate¡¯s shoulder and left the Cultivation Room.


    ¡°This guy, when did he break through to the sixth level of Qi Cultivation?!¡±


    Lu Hongsheng stood in place, mumbling to himself in disbelief.


    ¡°The sixth level of Qi Cultivation!? Might be even higher.¡±

    Song Zheng appeared, he had also just left from a Cultivation Room. He had planned to leave, but unexpectedly saw a fantastic scene.


    The others might not have noticed, but as a seventh level Qi Cultivator, he could sense an active Divine Sense fluctuating within Chen Mobai.


    This was a sign of developing Divine Sense, indicating that the bottleneck of the late Qi Cultivation phase had been broken through.


    ¡°It turns out that apart from Yan Bingxuan, there is another person in the class worth paying attention to.¡±


    Song Zheng recalled Chen Mobai frequently entering and exiting Old Ding¡¯s office. After pondering for a moment, he turned around to find his teacher..

    After leaving school, Chen Mobai headed for Evergreen Pharmacy.


    His original intention was to lend a helping hand, but Qing Nu wanted to perform the final step of Water Method Alchemy by herself -undisturbed and focused, which ensured high efficiency.


    With no other option, Chen Mobai could only wish her good luck before taking


    his leave.


    Since he was not needed here, he decided to go and make some money in the


    Tianhe Realm instead.


    Upon returning home, he unboxed the package delivered to him. As he anticipated, it contained the Spirit Talismans he had purchased from the Wood Spiritual Talisman store. The shopkeeper had sorted them neatly by type and placed them in an exquisite wooden box.


    Chen Mobai drew one talisman from each type to sense them, confirming their quality before happily acknowledging receipt on his phone.


    With a click, he was transported to the Water Mansion.


    It had been a while since he last cultivated here and he curiously noticed the Spiritual Energy seemed to have become denser.


    Yet now that he had mastered Divine Sense, he could concentrate on his Five Elements Cultivation. He had also brought with him the unopened vial of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water that he had purchased.


    However, upon checking the time, he decided to visit Southstream Market first.


    As the market closed at night when cultivators preferred to meditate and cultivate, no one squandered this golden time on business.


    Once again at the market, Chen Mobai bumped into Qi Er at the entrance. Seeing him, Qi Er came over to greet him and ask about his plans to set up a stall.


    -If senior wants to set up a stall, you need to apply to the market manager first, pay a Spirit Stone processing fee, receive a blanket, then find your spot according to the blanket¡¯s number, and then you can start your business,¡± he explained.


    After listening to Qi Er¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai understood that setting up a stall wasn¡¯t as free and easy as he had thought, and was still under the market¡¯s administration.


    Moreover, one Spirit Stone only navigates the administration for one month. After a month, if you wish to continue, you must pay another Spirit Stone.


    The only positive, however, was that no deposit was required. After all, most of the people in Southstream Market were Loose Cultivators with limited resources. Having acquired some goods from various undisclosed sources, they set up their stalls to sell their items. Usually, in just a month, most of the goods would be sold out.


    After earning Spirit Stones, they would retreat to their rented cave dwellings to cultivate until their Spirit Stones were used up, upon which they would return to the market to restock and set up their stall again.


    Hearing Qi Er describe the cultivators¡¯ way of life, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel at the live-for-the-moment mentality of cultivators in the Tianhe


    Realm.


    Market stall management was overseen by Wu Hong, a cultivator with Qi Cultivation¡¯s ninth stage from the Wu family, one of the four major Cultivating families in the local area.


    To someone of his stature, running stalls was an insignificant matter. Therefore, after Chen Mobai paid one Spirit Stone, he was immediately handed a blanket.


    ¡°Senior Wu is the least fond of troublemakers among the six managers of Southstream Market. However, if things get out of hand on a vendor¡¯s stall, he is known to be cold and ruthless. He would directly expel the troublemakers from the market. Moreover, those without a strong background, typically disappear without a trace after being expelled from the market,¡± said Qi Er, seemingly oblivious to Chen Mobai¡¯s silent shock.


    [This Tianhe Realm really is in disarray.]


    Having grown up in a place full of order like Dili Elementary School, Chen Mobai always felt out of place in the cultivation environment of Tianhe Realm.


    However, he could only reassure himself by minding his own business, honestly doing business here, without making trouble or meddlesome where it is not wanted.


    ¡°Senior, I have one more question. Are the Spirit Talismans you¡¯re selling made by yourself or did you purchase them from somewhere else?


    As Qi Er led Chen Mobai towards the Talisman sales stalls, he asked this question while they were walking.


    ¡°They are for sale on behalf of a friend.¡±


    ¡°I see. Each line of business in the market has a stall owner. The owner of the Spirit Talisman business is named Jia Sui. He himself is a remarkable Talisman Maker. If you want to sell a Rank-1 high-grade Spirit Talisman, it¡¯s best to notify him first.¡±


    Although Qi Er didn¡¯t make it explicit, Chen Mobai understood the implications after some contemplation.


    Rank-1 high-grade talismans are always traded in Spirit Stones. The market for them was clearly dominated by someone. If Chen Mobai wanted a slice of the pie, it was better to make his intentions clear upfront to avoid any confusion.


    ¡°Do we know anything about the background of this Jia Sui?


    ¡°He used to be an assistant in the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Talisman Paper Shop. After his master returned to the sect, he started his own stall. Owing to his past relations, he gets talisman paper, talisman skins, and spiritual ink at cost price. Any cultivator in the market who makes their talismans usually buys from him. It is said that he gives kickbacks to each successive shopkeeper of the Talisman Paper Shop, so we treat him as a representative of the Divine


    Wood Sect.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai fell silent.


    Should kickback arrangements be talked about in public?


    ¡°Senior, we¡¯ve arrived, here it is.¡±


    At this moment, Qi Er pointed to a corner on the eastern side street of the market.


    The edge of the cobblestone-paved pathway had a rectangular outline drawn in white. In the middle was written ¡°East 19¡±.


    Chen Mobai spread out the blanket he had rented for a Spirit Stone on the white rectangle. It fit in perfectly within the lines, not a millimeter out of place.


    Next to him, three other vendors were also selling Spirit Talismans. The two men and one woman, all cultivators, focused their attention on him.


    ¡°Ahem, my name is Chen Guixian, a newcomer trying to make a living. I look forward to your guidance in the future,¡± Chen Mobai introduced himself using a name he had thought of earlier. He raised his hand in greeting to the surrounding sellers of Spirit Talismans, eliciting three rolled eyes.


    ¡°Senior, I¡¯ll take my leave now. If you need anything, you can find me at the market¡¯s entrance,¡± said Qi Er after completing his task of guiding Chen Mobai. Seeing this, Chen Mobai immediately handed him to taels worth of gold. Money from selling the Hand Crossbow was exchanged for banknotes worth 400 taels, with 50 taels in ready cash left for daily expenses. He had spent 30 taels on books yesterday, leaving 20 taels remaining.


    Qi Er made no further courtesies and happily accepted the offering.


    Chen Mobai stood on the street and displayed two each of the five different types of Rank-1 lower-grade Spirit Talismans he had purchased from the Wood Spiritual Talisman shop, before placing a Rank-1 intermediate-grade Green Arrow Talisman on top.


    He had initially wanted to put up the Wood Armor Talisman too, but after a second thought, decided to hold off on it. He would unlock those talismans once business picked up.


    Moreover, that was a life-saving talisman. He reckoned it was best not to reveal it just yet.


    However, it turned out he had worried for nothing.

    By sunset, the three vendors next to him had packed up for the day, but he had not sold a single talisman.


    On his first day of setting up shop, Chen Mobai made nothing, swept up his talismans in dejection, and rolled up his blanket. With his head hung low, he left the market.


    But upon returning to the Water Mansion, his spirits lifted.


    After taking the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, he began the long-awaited meditation for Qi cultivation.


    Under his control, the multi-colored adaptive Spiritual Power corrected minute deviations and pathways. Following the tips provided by Qing Ping¡¯s teaching material, his Spiritual Energy followed the Grand Circulation cycle. The pale blue Spiritual Energy, resembling water mist, wafted around the center of the grand hall in the Water Mansion, surrounding Chen Mobai. It gave him the appearance of being an immortal bathing in the glow of dawn..

 Chapter 52 - Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Failure of Foundation

    Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Failure of Foundation


    Establishment¡ª1


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Here!¡±


    Early in the morning, Qing Nu called Chen Mobai over and handed him sixteen vials of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    ¡°It¡¯s my first time and I¡¯m inexperienced. I only managed to create so much.¡±


    As Qing Nu spoke, a slight blush crept onto her face, clearly a bit embarrassed.


    ¡°You¡¯ve already done very well. Rest well. I will bring you the next batch of medicinal ingredients in a few days.¡±


    From the result, it seemed like a loss of more than two thousand Good Deed Points, but Chen Mobai still comforted her with a smile. After all, his Good Deed Points came easily, and he didn¡¯t feel distressed.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Listening to the gentle words of the boy in front of her, Qing Nu lifted her slightly lowered head and couldn¡¯t help but wipe her reddened eyes.


    Chen Mobai comforted her a few more times and asked for leave from his head teacher.


    !!..


    He planned to go to Red Dawn Institution to deliver the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water to his father, who was in retreat, and a copy of his understanding of the Foundation Establishment, which ranked relatively high on the auxiliary software.


    Taking the bus, it took Chen Mobai nearly an hour and a half to arrive at the Red Dawn Institution.


    Luckily, this place is also one of Red Sandstone City¡¯s tourist attractions. So, there¡¯s no need for any procedures to enter, otherwise, he would have to ask Chen Xinglan to come out and meet him.


    At the foot of the Azure Spiritual Peak, Chen Mobai again met Yan Xiang, who had once delivered the Green Paulownia Seedling.


    ¡°Waiting for Old Chen, right? He usually comes out at noon.¡±


    Yan Xiang had a pleasant expression, holding a roster in his hand, as if he was checking something.


    ¡°Mr. Yan, are you busy? Is there anything I can help with?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked politely. The latter immediately waved his hand, indicating he could handle it.


    ¡°Daily meals have to be prepared for the representatives of the Daoist Academy and the colleges who are living on the Spiritual Peak. Some have dietary restrictions. I just need to check the ingredients.¡±


    After Yan Xiang spoke, Chen Mobai suddenly realized, unconsciously, half of the semester had already passed.


    In about forty-five days, it will be the university entrance exam.


    ¡°How are you doing? Are you confident in getting into the Daoist Academy?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll do my best.¡±


    Chen Mobai was not arrogant. His face had an expression of modesty. Mainly because lately, he had been busy exploring the Tianhe Realm and had not done his homework for a long time. He didn¡¯t have much confidence in his knowledge reserves.


    However, he had already cultivated the Divine Sense, which greatly increased his learning efficiency. He just needed to work hard during this period to catch up with the progress.


    But the entrance exam cutoff is easy. The real challenge is the entrance exams for the various Daoist Academies.


    Especially the entrance exams for the four major Daoist Academies. The difficulty can be described as hellish every year. Many years, because there were no qualified candidates, none were admitted from Red Sandstone City.


    But it was exactly this policy of preferring to have a gap than admitting inferior candidates that made getting into the four major Daoist Academies the lifelong dream of every student in the cultivation world.


    Squeak!


    At this moment, the wooden door of Chen Xinglan¡¯s Cave Dwelling opened, and he came out.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you to focus on your exams? Why are you wasting time here?¡±


    At first, Chen Xinglan greeted Yan Xiang. After Yan Xiang left, he frowned and reprimanded his son.


    ¡°I rushed to buy some Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and brought it for you. There¡¯s also some Foundation Establishment knowledge I collected online. You can take a look when you have time.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed over ten well-packaged vials of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water to Chen Xinglan, along with a notebook he had printed at a print shop.


    ¡°Son, I understand your intentions. But I hope you understand that seeing you achieve something makes me happier and prouder than successfully establishing my foundation.¡±


    Chen Xinglan said to Chen Mobai sternly. The latter stared back into his father¡¯s eyes for a long while before lowering his head.


    ¡°I understand, Dad.¡±


    ¡°This Qi-replenishing Spirit Water is intermediate grade at best. Its effects aren¡¯t significant for me, but since it¡¯s your intention, I¡¯ll accept half of it. As for the Foundation Establishment knowledge, the library of the Red Dawn Institution has at least a thousand books, all with similar knowledge relating to my ¡®Melting Fire Technique¡¯. Don¡¯t waste time on this in the future. Work hard. If you can enter one of the top ten colleges, your mother and I will be proud of you for the rest of our lives.¡±


    After their father-son talk, Chen Mobai understood Chen Xinglan¡¯s feelings.


    For a father, his son¡¯s success is even more gratifying than his own.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t understand. Perhaps because he didn¡¯t have a son yet.


    But he didn¡¯t confront his father. He just nodded silently.


    After having lunch together, father and son parted ways. Chen Xinglan returned to his cave dwelling, continuing his retreat.


    Chen Mobai stood at the bus stop, waiting for public transportation.


    ¡°Young man, I didn¡¯t expect to see you again here.¡±


    Just then, a familiar voice rang out.


    When Chen Mobai turned his head, he saw the young man in the blue and white long robe standing there, offering a friendly greeting.


    ¡°Hello, are you a student here?¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in response and asked.


    ¡°I just came to visit an older student who¡¯s teaching here. I haven¡¯t learned your name yet. I¡¯ve only been in this blessed land of Danxia for a few days, and encountering you twice shows that we are deeply connected.¡±


    ¡°My name is Chen Mobai, I am a student at the Fifth High School of Xianmen!¡±


    On Tianhe star, Chen Mobai would certainly not dare to reveal his identity. However, here on Digua Star, as a disciple of Xianmen, he did not hide it.


    ¡°I am Lan Haitian.¡±


    As soon as Lan Haitian gave his name, Chen Mobai remembered the business card Qing Nu had held in her hand. It said the owner was a classmate of the owner of the Evergreen Pharmacy. It could indeed be a real cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.


    While Chen Mobai mulled over this, he kept his expression neutral.


    Just then, the bus to Red Sandstone City arrived. Chen Mobai said something and said goodbye to Lan Haitian.


    ¡°My bus is here. I¡¯m leaving now.¡±


    If it weren¡¯t for his business today, Chen Mobai would have liked to chat more with Lan Haitian.


    ¡°We meet again when destiny leads us.¡±


    After saying goodbye, Lan Haitian walked towards the highest Spiritual Peak of the Red Dawn Institution.


    ¡°You¡¯re late. We¡¯ve been waiting for you.¡±


    Under the canopy of the Azure Paulownia Tree, several people were already sitting. Seeing Lan Haitian approaching, a young man in a white suit frowned and spoke.


    ¡°I apologize. I was having a late-night conversation with a senior brother I haven¡¯t seen for a long time yesterday. I lost track of time in the excitement.¡±


    Lan Haitian¡¯s face showed regret.


    ¡°Okay, now that everyone is here, let¡¯s take a look at this year¡¯s test paper.¡±


    The man in red sitting in the main seat nodded and signaled the man in green next to him to hand out the copied exam papers to the representatives of the four major Daoist Academies and a few colleges.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Shi Qing supposed to be in charge?¡±


    ¡°She made a breakthrough a few days ago, and closed herself off. She sent a message to hand over the work to me.¡±


    As he spoke, the man in red robe showed a look of annoyance.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai, with a large bag of exchanged gold, arrived at Wu¡¯s Gold Shop, where he had done business before.


    ¡°Cough, cough.Jt¡¯s you¡­¡±


    However, the condition of Wu Wan was indeed shocking for Chen Mobai.


    The once plump and elegant young figure was now thin with white hair, looking as if he had aged from a teenager to middle-aged man overnight.


    ¡°Failed to form my foundation, lost vitality and my Qi Cultivation Realm has fallen from Perfection, making me a laughingstock..¡±

 Chapter 53 - Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Expelled from the Master’s Door_1

    Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Expelled from the Master¡¯s Door_1


    Translator: 549690339


    Even though he knew the success rate of Foundation Establishment was very low, witnessing failure first-hand still gave Chen Mobai a tremendous shock.


    He still remembered the first time he saw Wu Wan, holding a book, exuding an air of gentle elegance and treating others with the warmth of a spring breeze.


    If it were not for the later attempt to orchestrate a trade to generate points, Chen Mobai would have had a very good first impression of him.


    ¡°Are you here to sell gold?¡±


    ¡°Yes, look at these, how much can they be sold for?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t ask about Wu Wan¡¯s failure in Foundation Establishment. As soon as the latter spoke, he immediately placed the forty gold bars he had exchanged from the Five Elements Silver Shop at the Southstream Market onto the table.


    ¡°Wait a moment, I need to get a scale.¡±


    Wu Wan lightly coughed and took down a Magic Artifact scale from a shelf, specifically designed to measure gold weight and purity.


    Because the gold used for trade among cultivators in the Tianhe Realm was all refined with spiritual power, there were absolutely no issues in terms of purity.


    ¡°The price of gold has risen a bit recently, these are valued at 4300 Good Deed Points, is that acceptable?¡±


    !!..


    ¡°No problem, let¡¯s go with this price.


    Chen Mobai nodded, and the two quickly completed the trade.


    ¡°Do you sell the needle box?¡±


    After Wu Wan had made the account, he suddenly asked another question.


    ¡°No, I¡¯m using it myself.¡±


    ¡°If there are future Magic Artifact appraisals, you can come to me again, I¡¯ll


    give you a discount.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    After agreeing, Chen Mobai bid his farewell and left Wu¡¯s Gold Shop.


    He wondered if Wu Wan could cultivate to the state of Qi Cultivation Perfection again before he turned 60. If he could, there¡¯s no doubt that Wu Wan wouldn¡¯t give up the chance to attempt Foundation Establishment again.


    Many cultivators of the immortal sects do not consider marriage before the age of 60, all for the sake of achieving Foundation Establishment.


    Take Chen Mobai¡¯s grandparents for example, both of them attempted Foundation Establishment twice before they turned 60, and only after passing the prime of their life did they start considering the continuity of family lineage, forming a family. For this reason, after they had given birth to Chen Xinglan and his two siblings, these two elders who had depleted their life essence prematurely passed away when Chen Mobai was still very young.


    This forms one of the two mainstream factions within the sect of immortality. One believes that being trapped by sentiment will undoubtedly lead to a failed path of immortality. The other side advocates that only by caring for the world can one achieve the Way of God Transformation, transcending the mundane


    world.


    Chen Mobai has seen debates between cultivators of both factions on numerous forums and has pondered over this questioning on his own.


    If it¡¯s possible, he would naturally wish to focus on cultivation, indifferent to the mundane issues of the world. But if he has to abandon family and friends and leave behind feelings to achieve Foundation Establishment, he will


    definitely refuse.


    At this moment, how he wished he had a mentor to help dispel the doubts in


    his heart.


    Unknowingly, he had already returned home.


    Upon looking up, he saw the Evergreen Pharmacy.


    He couldn¡¯t help but give a wry smile. After selling the gold, he now has a balance of over 6,000 Good Deed Points in his card, which is just enough to buy another batch of medicine ingredients for Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    But to avoid drawing attention from the monitoring department of the immortal sect by trading too much gold, he has been planning to investigate the medicinal material market in the Tianhe Realm to see if he can purchase the three main medicinal materials there.


    The four supplementary medicines are all industrial raw materials that can only be produced here in Di Yuan Star. Fortunately, the prices are cheap, and they are not just needed for concocting medicine, so buying a bit more should not be an issue.


    Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t afford further thought to the matter.


    The only reality is the improvement of his own cultivation level. As long as there is an ample supply of Qi-Replenishing Spirit Water refined by Qing Nu, he, who has already cultivated a divine sense, can advance to the seventh stage of Qi Cultivation before the entrance exam of the four major Daoist Academies.


    He walked into the Evergreen Pharmacy and waited for a while.


    But Qing Nu hadn¡¯t shown up.


    Huh?


    Has the small formation that notifies them in the back yard malfunctioned? Having waited for a while longer and still seeing no sign of her, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but call out.


    ¡°Is anyone there!¡±


    After calling out three times, a tall, high-nosed, deep eyed, old man in a purple robe walked out just as Chen Mobai was about to call Qing Nu. The old man gave him an annoyed look.


    ¡ö¡öWhy are you making such a fuss? Won¡¯t you let a person take a midday nap!¡±


    ¡°Um, may I ask if you are Elder Gu? I¡¯m a friend of Qing Nu.


    Qing Nu had once mentioned her teacher¡¯s name to Chen Mobai. Out of respect for the Foundation Establishment senior, he remembered it clearly and asked after a polite greeting.


    ¡°From now on, don¡¯t come here looking for her. I¡¯ve already cast her out of my tutelage!¡±


    ¡°What!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened, he couldn¡¯t believe it.


    ¡°Elder Gu, what do you mean by this? What has happened to Qing Nu?¡±


    ¡°From the sound of your voice, it seems I do remember. You are the young boss who provides for my unworthy apprentice to concoct her pills. Hmph, it is one thing for that wretch to make you a scapegoat, but she shouldn¡¯t be practicing on my medicine pool. Having committed such a taboo, being cast out of my tutelage is nothing! If this had happened in the past, I would have destroyed her cultivation level!¡±


    ¡°just because of that, you have such a feudalists and stubborn way of thinking!¡±


    Hearing Gu Changfeng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s voice instinctively rose in defense of Qing Nu.


    -What audacity for a young man, daring to speak to me in that manner.¡± Gu Changfeng was furious. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his powerful spiritual power burst out, causing Chen Mobai difficulty in breathing, his legs weakened, nearly bringing him to his knees.


    Under the invisible heavy pressure, the anger in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart gradually faded and clarity emerged in his mind. He couldn¡¯t help but speak.


    ¡°Elder Gu, Qing Nu used your medicine pool to concoct pills simply because she was commissioned by me. If you are angry, I can compensate you for your losses, even help you rebuild a brand new medicine pool. Qing Nu is innocent, casting her out of your tutelage, I will live in guilt for the rest of my life.¡± ¡°Quite the bold statement, do you know how many Good Deed Points the smallest of medicine pools cost?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, please instruct, I may not have that many Good Deed Points for the time being, but I certainly won¡¯t deny the debt.¡±


    ¡°The medicine pool in my store, rank-2 lower-grade, eight hundred thousand Good Deed Points.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have that much now, but the moment I gather enough, I will definitely give it to you, asking only for you to change your decision.¡±


    Hearing these words, Gu Changfeng narrowed his eyes. Unbeknownst to Chen Mobai, he had already retracted his spiritual pressure, Chen Mobai was able to breathe freely again.


    ¡°It¡¯s too late, I¡¯ve already cancelled her apprentice registration at the Ministry of Education¡¯s Hall of Heritage, she is no longer my apprentice.¡±


    Having said that, he waved his sleeve and a strong burst of spiritual power pushed Chen Mobai out of the pharmacy.


    ¡°Don¡¯t come back again, you¡¯re not welcome here.


    ¡°Then can you tell me where I can find Qing Nu?


    Bang!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He was answered with a heavy slamming of the door.


    Chen Mobai naturally couldn¡¯t break open a door sealed by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so he could only turn around and head to the place where he remembered Qing Nu lived.


    He remembered where Qing Nu got off the bus when they went to see the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe. It was two stops away from here, and which he was too impatient to wait for the bus for, so he directly used the Propulsion Technique to hurry along.


    Inside the pharmacy, Gu Changfeng watched Chen Mobai¡¯s rushing figure leave, his face filled with silence. He turned his head and looked at a sapphire black-lettered jade card placed on the counter.


    [Lan Haitian]..

 Chapter 54 - Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Post-processing_l

    Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Post-processing_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai tried calling Qing Nu, but she didn¡¯t pick up.


    Searching for her at the stop where she got off was like looking for a needle in a haystack, yielding no results.


    At that moment, he resented himself for not getting off the bus with her and accompanying her home.


    It wasn¡¯t until his spiritual power was depleted and he could no longer maintain the Propulsion Technique that Chen Mobai, panting heavily, sat down on a roadside stone, thinking of all the information he had about Qing


    Nu.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, she¡¯s a student at the First High School of the Immortal Sect. She should be at school right now.¡±


    Chen Mobai had taken leave today. He checked the time and found that it was supposed to be the free usage time of the school¡¯s Cultivation Room. If that was the case, Qing Nu¡¯s phone must have been on do-not-disturb mode.


    Once his spiritual power had somewhat recovered, he got on a bus heading towards the First High School of the Immortal Sect.


    ¡°If none of you have any issues, let¡¯s go with this year¡¯s examination paper.¡± At the top of the Spiritual Peak, True Man in Red Robe made the final decision after coordinating everyone¡¯s opinions on site.


    ¡°Yuan He, you take these comments and make the necessary amendments.¡± Yuan He, who was in charge of preparing the questions, immediately stood up and nodded upon hearing the words of the True Man. He then collected the papers that representatives from the four major Daoist Academies and several instructional academies had amended.


    !!..


    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll take my leave.¡±


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    After Yuan He left, the True Man in Red Robe began to discuss the main topic of the day.


    ¡°What special tricks are you planning for the entrance exams for your Daoist academies and instructional academies this year?


    The academic ability reflected by the college entrance examination results was used to filter out those without wisdom roots. Once the college entrance examination scores meet the standard, they could apply to the Four Major Daoist Academies and the Ten Learning Palaces according to the scoreline.


    Only after these fourteen selections were completed, then it would be the turn for places like Red Mist Crimson Bead.


    The Four Major Daoist Academies and Ten Learning Palaces conducted either joint or separate entrance exams every year.


    However, to save public resources, the exams were usually held jointly. During one single assessment, various checkpoints were set up, and scores were assigned according to everyone¡¯s performance. If there was a student the Four Major Daoist Academies found impressive, naturally, they were given priority to choose. If there were two academies interested in the same student, it would then be up to the student to decide.


    However, such situations had never happened in Red Sandstone City. Only the top-ranking major planetary realms would have spiritual seeds that made the Four Major Daoist Academies vie for them.


    ¡°This year, we received instructions from above, so there¡¯s no need for me to rack my brain. Have a look, True Man. This is the response from the dean.¡± Lan Haitian was the first to speak up. He handed a letter to the True Man in Red Robe with a smile, who took it and remarked in surprise after reading it.


    ¡°That¡¯s strange. How did the old fogey come up with this?¡±


    A young man in a white suit furrowed his brow, but he also took out a letter. His teacher had given it to him when he left the Daoist Academy, specifying this year¡¯s entrance exam content.


    ¡°True Man, this is from our department head.


    The True Man in Red Robe took it, and his eyes widened in disbelief. He then looked up at the other representatives of the Daoist Academies.


    The rest hesitated for a moment before all taking out their letters. With a flick, all the letters fell into the hands of the True Man in Red Robe, who already finished reading the contents with his Divine Consciousness Leaving Body, his face betraying his disbelief.


    ¡°This is truly a rare kind of entrance exam.


    After reading all the similar content on the letters, the expression of the True Man in Red Robe finally settled. As a Gold Core True Man, he also noticed some implications from this entrance exam.


    ¡°I see. Let¡¯s arrange it this way. Let¡¯s choose my Cinnabarite Institute as the venue.¡±


    After the True Man in Red Robe finished speaking, the representatives of several instructional academies first rose to bid their leave, followed by the Four Major Daoist Academies.


    After everyone had left the mountain, a woman¡¯s voice echoed from the wooden house at the top of the Spiritual Peak.


    ¡°Thank you, True Man Yu.¡±


    ¡°I now understand why you¡¯re hiding. Did you know this all along?


    ¡°I guess so. But I really am at a critical stage in my cultivation and can¡¯t move at all, so I can only trouble you.¡±


    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll take over the matters regarding the college entrance examination, but as for the Legal Department involved, you should handle it yourself, senior.¡±


    After the True Man in Red Robe finished speaking, one of the people who had gone down the mountain returned.


    ¡°Legal Department¡¯s Lan Haitian pays his respects to both True Men.¡±


    Lan Haitian, who had met Chen Mobai twice, respectfully greeted the True Man in Red Robe and True Man Shi Qing in the wooden house, his expression serious.


    ¡°I was wondering why the Kunpeng Daoist Academy would let you, a Gold Core cultivator, come to Red Sandstone City to handle the matter of an entrance exam. Speak, is it the order from the Daoist Academy or from the Hall Master?¡± The True Man in Red Robe, as a Gold Core Cultivator, had also heard of Lan Haitian¡¯s infamous reputation. He was renowned as one of the next generation geniuses most likely to form a Core Formation alongside Qiongzhi Fairy from the Nature Studies Academy.


    Because Lan Haitian was also a Legal official of one of the three major temples of the Immortal Sect, his reputation even ranked higher than that of the hardworking Ice Spirit Root talent from the Nature Studies Academy.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Hall Master¡¯s order.¡±


    In front of the two Gold Core True Men, Lan Haitian answered truthfully, without any concealment.


    ¡°What is the matter?¡±


    The True Man in Red Robe asked again.


    -We discovered that there is a cultivator practicing Forbidden Techniques and he needs to be arrested immediately.¡±


    ¡°Well, then I¡¯ll take off.¡±


    Upon hearing the words ¡®Forbidden Techniques,¡¯ the True Man in Red Robe immediately shook his head. Being a person fully devoted to cultivation, he didn¡¯t want to get involved in the affairs of the Legal Department. Adjusting his Escaping Light, he vanished from the top of the Spiritual Peak.


    ¡°Since it¡¯s the Hall Master¡¯s order, feel free to proceed. I¡¯ll also send a message to the local department for their cooperation.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, True Man.¡±


    LHaitian delivered a document into the wooden house, and after True Man Shi Qing had checked the handwriting and the stamps, he agreed to his mission in Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°Try not to disturb the citizens. Arrest and try him quickly.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    Evergreen Pharmacy.


    After Gu Changfeng closed the door, he was refining medicine when the alarm formation set up by Qing Nu at the entrance rang, notifying him of someone¡¯s arrival.


    ¡°Breaking into private residences is a crime.¡±


    Gu Changfeng spoke coldly to the visitor.


    ¡°Rest assured. I have all the necessary documents. It¡¯s not a crime.¡±


    The sound of Lan Haitian¡¯s voice startled Gu Changfeng, his actions frozen. He slowly turned around, seeing the arrest warrant in the latter¡¯s hand, and his demeanor slumped.


    ¡°How did you find me?¡±


    ¡°As they say, if you want to avoid criticism, don¡¯t act. You hid pretty well, but given time, some of those who entered the Purple Cloud Palace back then would inevitably try Forbidden Techniques. As soon as someone exposes a flaw, doesn¡¯t that prove that your testimonies back then were all false?¡± Upon hearing those words, Gu Changfeng couldn¡¯t help but curse angrily, ¡°A group of useless people! We should have never trusted them in the first place.¡± With a bang, a group of about ten Law Enforcement Cultivators in blue-black uniforms stormed in. The lead cultivator, once seeing Lan Haitian, respectfully reported.


    ¡°Mr. Lan, we¡¯ve set up arrays around the vicinity and have also evacuated the surrounding residents.¡±

    ¡°Good, leave the rest to me.¡±


    Lan Haitian nodded. A dark silver chain flicked out from his sleeve and landed in his palm. But to his surprise, Gu Changfeng simply surrendered without a fight.


    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you resisting?¡±


    ¡°I understand law. Practicing Forbidden Techniques at most results in 60 years of imprisonment. If I resist and you kill me, I won¡¯t even be able to claim injustice.¡±


    Gu Changfeng allowed Lan Haitian to cuff him..

    Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Forbidden Technique¡ª1


    Translator: 549690339


    At the entrance of Immortal Sect First High School.


    Chen Mobai found a bubble tea shop and slowly sipped a drink of fresh lychee juice. He was using his cellphone while watching the entrance of the high


    school.


    Just a while ago, Qing Nu finally texted him back.


    As he had guessed, she had been in the Cultivation Room, her phone on Auxiliary Cultivation mode, and all sounds muted.


    Once her Cultivation Room time was over, she saw his message and promptly replied.


    ¡°Don¡¯t contact me anymore!¡±


    Upon seeing this message, Chen Mobai hesitated, then composed a reply.


    ¡°I¡¯m right at the entrance of your school.¡±


    ¡°What do you want?¡±


    !!..


    As soon as Qing Nu received his text, she replied, leaving Chen Mobai confused. He just wanted to apologize for her dismissal from the master¡¯s door. Why did it feel like she was thinking of something unpleasant?


    ¡°What do you want to drink? I¡¯ll order it for you.


    Fairly long after, approximately two to three minutes later, Qing Nu finally


    responded.


    ¡°Wait!¡±


    Inside the school.


    Qing Nu packed her bag and was about to leave when a sunny-faced boy in uniform approached her.


    ¡°Let me walk you home.¡±


    ¡°No need, I¡¯m meeting a friend.¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head and turned to leave.


    The sunny boy didn¡¯t mind; after all, he had been rejected more than once or twice before.


    Leaving the school gate, Qing Nu wore a mask and a small round hat. If Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t familiar with how she looked in a mask, and she hadn¡¯t walked so close, he might not have identified her.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry about your dismissal from the master¡¯s door.¡±


    As he handed Qing Nu the juice in his hand, Chen Mobai began with a sincere apology. After all, not everyone has the privilege to be a disciple of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Being expelled would leave a permanent stain on Qing Nu¡¯s life record.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk somewhere else.¡±


    After receiving the juice, Qing Nu looked around to confirm that no one recognized her. She signaled Chen Mobai, and they boarded a public bus together.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Because it was dismissal time, the bus was crowded. Chen Mobai and Qing Nu could only stand close to each other. She just shook her head and remained silent, seemingly in low spirits.


    Finally, they reached Qing Nu¡¯s favorite grilled fish restaurant.


    ¡°There are too many people in school that know me. If my classmates see me


    with you, an outsider, they¡¯re sure to gossip.¡±


    It was only now that Qing Nu spoke, saying something that Chen Mobai found rather strange.


    ¡°Are you famous at school?¡±


    ¡°More or less, perhaps one of the most well-known students?¡±


    ¡°Oh.¡±


    Having heard this, Chen Mobai looked at Qing Nu¡¯s beautiful face, which was more visible without her hat and mask, and nodded lightly in response. He supposes that due to Qing Nu¡¯s beauty and the fact that she was under the guidance of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, her Qi Cultivating Realm might be substantial, and hence her fame.


    ¡°I went to the Evergreen Pharmacy today to find you, and Senior Gu said that because you inappropriately used his medicine pool, you¡¯ve violated a taboo of Alchemists. Because of this, he dismissed you from being his disciple. Is this true?¡±


    At this point, having calmed down from his initial upheaval of emotions, Chen Mobai verified the information he knew with Qing Nu.


    He was thinking it might just be a joke played by Gu Changfeng since their teacher-student bond seemed deep.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s true that it is taboo for Alchemists to use other¡¯s medicine furnace and pool. However, there is one exception ¨C between a master and his disciple.¡± ¡°Usually, a master would give his used medicine furnace and pool to the disciple upon the latter¡¯s graduation, signifying that the disciple was qualified. My master had previously said that when I graduated, he would give me the alchemy equipment used in the pharmacy.¡±


    ¡°He knew I was using his medicine pool to blend medicine liquids the day before yesterday. He didn¡¯t say anything then, but today he suddenly exploded with anger and kicked me out¡­¡±


    As she spoke, Qing Nu¡¯s eyes turned red, and her lips trembled slightly.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it might be because of me.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai could only apologize again.


    ¡°It¡¯S not about you. It¡¯s probably because I haven¡¯t been working hard enough lately. The accumulation of teacher¡¯s dissatisfactions exploded, leading to today¡¯s situation.¡± Qing Nu shook her head, blaming herself. ¡°After finishing the meal, I¡¯ll go back to the pharmacy and apologize to my teacher, hoping that he can forgive me.¡±


    ¡°Well¡­¡±


    After hesitating for a while, Chen Mobai ultimately did not tell her that Gu Changfeng had already removed her disciple status from the Heritage Hall of the Ministry of Education.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    ¡°Nothing, let¡¯s eat.¡±


    The owner obviously recognized the two, but facing the customers, he could only greet them with a smile.


    After finishing the meal, they took the bus to the stop nearby the Evergreen Pharmacy.


    However, as soon as they alighted, they could feel that something was off.


    ¡°This is a police operation, bystanders are not allowed to enter.¡±


    They found that the street to the entrance of the Evergreen Pharmacy had been blocked off. Law Enforcement Cultivators, dressed in black and blue uniforms, were roaming around. When they approached, a person immediately stopped them.


    ¡°What happened? This is my master¡¯s pharmacy.¡±


    With a worried look on her face, Qing Nu saw the pharmacy cordoned off. She wanted to rush past but managed to restrain herself in the end.


    ¡°Oh, if that is the case, please follow me, I will consult my leader.¡±


    After listening to Qing Nu, the Law Enforcement Cultivator nodded and let them through the cordon.


    Chen Mobai followed suit, albeit hesitantly. Given that he was in the vicinity, the Law Enforcement Cultivator assumed he was a disciple of Gu Changfeng as well and didn¡¯t stop him.


    As soon as they stepped inside, they saw Gu Changfeng, handcuffed, being led out.


    ¡°Master!¡±


    ¡°Shut up, you¡¯re not my disciple anymore.¡±


    Upon seeing Qing Nu, who wanted to rush towards him but was stopped, Gu Changfeng glared at her.


    ¡°Are you Gu ChangFeng¡¯s disciples?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At this moment, the leading Law Enforcement Cultivator approached them. He was a middle-aged man with a serious expression. Midsentence, a female Law Enforcement Cultivator with a bob cut handed him a document.


    ¡°According to the response from the Heritage Hall of the Education Department, she has indeed been dismissed as a disciple by Gu Changfeng.¡± After reading the document, the middle-aged man furrowed his brows and looked at Qing Nu, who had widened her eyes in disbelief.


    ¡°Take them too. Considering their past master-disciple relationship, she might have been taught the forbidden technique.¡±


    After saying this, he looked at Chen Mobai again, confirmed with his colleagues that he was just a local resident, and his expression instantly softened.


    ¡°Leave me your phone number. We might need your assistance later..¡±

 Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Purple Cloud Palace_1

    Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Purple Cloud Palace_1


    Translator: 549690339 I


    Chen Mobai hesitated briefly, but eventually decided to accompany Qing Nu to the Law Enforcement Department.


    He was just briefly questioned about his relationship with Qing Nu and about what medicine he usually buys from the Evergreen Pharmacy, before being politely invited to the waiting room.


    However, Qing Nu¡¯s interrogation took much longer. Chen Mobai had been waiting for an hour and she still hadn¡¯t come out.


    So, he reflected on the words that the Law Enforcement Cultivator had earlier revealed.


    Forbidden Technique?


    He immediately looked it up online.


    Among the gentians, there are some cultivation techniques that are massively powerful, but the aftereffects of cultivating them are extremely severe. These are called Forbidden Techniques, as they are, quite literally, forbidden to practice.


    The most recent news about this online was about an incident three years ago. A True Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage had tried to break through his bottleneck by using a Forbidden Technique. This had driven him mad, and his out of control spiritual power had attacked the people around him, causing massive casualties among the ordinary cultivators.


    Just as he was about to read further, Qing Nu was released.


    ¡°Make sure your phone line is open these next few days. You might be contacted at any time to confirm the facts.¡±


    !!..


    As Qing Nu was leaving, the short-haired female Law Enforcement Cultivator who was in charge of her case reminded her one last time.


    ¡°What exactly happened? Did your Master practice a forbidden technique?¡±


    As Chen Mobai left the police department with Qing Nu, he couldn¡¯t suppress his curiosity and asked.


    ¡°I also do not know, Master only taught me knowledge about alchemy, and never mentioned a word about cultivation.¡±


    As Qing Nu said this, her eyes were red, seemingly heavily impacted emotionally. After all, the news that her long-time teacher was a criminal was too heavy for anyone to take.


    ¡°I¡¯ll escort you home. Try not to overthink it, and get a good rest.¡±


    All Chen Mobai could do was to comfort her in this way.


    Inside an office on the third floor of the police department, Lan Haitian was looking out the window at Chen Mobai and Qing Nu leaving. He put down the files of both Chen Mobai and Qing Nu, and turned his head to ask Gu Changfeng, who was sitting down under pressure, ¡°You should know the dreadful nature of the Devour God Technique. Everyone among you who has cultivated this Forbidden Technique hasn¡¯t met a good end.¡±


    ¡°The decision to conceal the Devour God Technique wasn¡¯t mine. I was just dragged into it.¡±


    Gu Changfeng spoke out.


    ¡°I am not asking you about this. I just think that both these young people are good, and I hope they have no connection with the Devour God Technique.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Qing Nu doesn¡¯t know anything about it. Plus, I¡¯ve already expelled her from my tutelage.¡±


    Lan Haitian shook his head and handed Chen Mobai¡¯s file to the Law Enforcement Cultivator next to him. Then he scanned Qing Nu¡¯s file with his own phone and sent it to a friend for further investigation.


    ¡°That¡¯s not for you to decide. After all, she was once your disciple, so we still need to supervise her for a period of time.¡±


    ¡°You are an enforcer of the law; you should stick to the evidence. Qing Nu has not committed any crime.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s precisely because I stick to the evidence that she has been released now. If she were still your disciple, I would have justifiedly arrested both of you.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Gu Changfeng huffed in anger but didn¡¯t argue any further.


    ¡°Elder Brother Gu, why didn¡¯t you choose to flee?¡±


    ¡°You gave your business card to Qing Nu, who forwarded it to me. You wanted to force me to flee, so you would have an excuse to interrogate me with your methods.¡±


    Gu Changfeng looked coldly at Lan Haitian and revealed his thoughts. But the latter only responded with a slight smile.


    ¡°With your talent, Elder Brother, you would not have reached your current realm if you had been practicing normally. It seems like Forbidden Techniques really do affect the mind.¡±


    But at this moment, Gu Changfeng closed his eyes and said no more.


    Lan Haitian queried him for a while, but seeing that he would not speak again, gave up on further questioning.


    As he left the interrogation room, he removed a ¡°Mind-reading Talisman¡± pasted on the door to ascertain which parts of Gu Changfeng¡¯s words were true and which were false.


    ¡°Mr. Lan, what should we do next?¡±


    Inside the office of the police department, after compiling both Gu Changfeng and Qing Nu¡¯s data, the office worker handed it to Lan Haitian, then waited for his next instruction.


    ¡°Just keep him locked up for now. When 1 leave later, I¡¯ll take him away.¡±


    ¡°Alright, what about his female disciple and that student? Do we need to send people to watch them?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll arrange for people.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Chen Mobai escorted Qing Nu back home, where she asked him to stay for a while.


    This was a single apartment in Red Sandstone City. After asking, Chen Mobai learned that Qing Nu had been orphaned from a young age and had grown up in an orphanage.


    When she was fifteen, due to her outstanding abilities, Gu Changfeng had taken her as his disciple when he came to give a lecture at school. She then started working at the Evergreen Pharmacy, and with the help of her master, she had rented this apartment and begun to live alone.


    Chen Mobai checked and found that because the house was public rental housing, the facilities were quite basic, with only the minimum supply of Rank-1 lower-grade spiritual energy.


    ¡°To me, Master is like a father. But they say my Master practiced Forbidden Techniques and is a bad person.¡±


    As Qing Nu spoke, her eyes turned red again. Perhaps due to the hardships she had experienced from a young age, she was resilient enough to control her emotions, no longer as agitated as at first.


    Chen Mobai comforted her some more, and seeing that it was getting late, he made his leave.


    Qing Nu got up and sent him out, then she squatted down alone in the empty room, back against the door. After hearing the sound of footsteps outside grow distant, she hugged her knees and buried her head, then started weeping softly.


    ¡°Master, this is the report on Gu Changfeng¡¯s case.¡±


    At the top of the Spiritual Peak, in front of the wooden cabin, Lan Haitian respectfully lifted the report he had prepared above his head.


    A formidable Divine Sense swept out from within the cabin and instantly read through all the contents of the report.


    ¡°The five people who obtained Forbidden Techniques from the Purple Cloud Palace all those years ago have all been captured, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Gu Changfeng is the last one. However, I suspect that there are some unseen factors in this matter. Because of the limitations in the means available, I couldn¡¯t extract any useful information.¡±


    After years of investigating cases, Lan Haitian developed an intuition that if a case was completely resolved, he would feel exhilarated and his thoughts would be unimpeded. If not, his mind would be clouded.


    ¡°Well, just leave it like this. After all, you have them in your hands. Even if there are hidden facts, you can press them for answers slowly.¡±

    The voice from inside the cabin, Master Shi Qing¡¯s, was calm. It seemed like he didn¡¯t pay much attention to the result of Lan Haitian¡¯s investigation.


    ¡°May I ask, Master, how should we deal with Gu Changfeng¡¯s disciple?¡±


    ¡°Hmm? On this kind of matter, do you still need to ask me?¡±


    Upon hearing Master Shi Qing¡¯s slightly displeased voice, Lan Haitian could only smile bitterly. He took out his phone and forwarded some confidential information from the Daoist Academy he had obtained through illegal means to the Master inside the cabin. ¡°This is Qing Nu¡¯s file. Please review it, Master.¡± ¡°Oh, didn¡¯t expect it to be her.¡±


    After Master Shi Qing finished reading, he expressed surprise..

 Chapter 57 - Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Devour God Technique_l

    Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Devour God Technique_l


    Translator: 549690339 I


    ¡°Exactly, that¡¯s why we need your help in adjusting the matter.¡±


    After Lan Haitian finished speaking, the top of the Spiritual Peak fell into silence.


    After a while, Shi Qing¡¯s voice responded.


    ¡°The students designated for the Jumang Daoist Academy, I can¡¯t intervene. Shang Qing should know about this matter, you go and discuss it with her.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve discussed it with her, but her attitude is very firm. I¡¯m afraid we need you to personally speak to her.¡±


    ¡°Understood, summon her in my name.¡±


    After getting approval from Master Shi Qing, Lan Haitian immediately made a phone call to the representative of the Jumang Daoist Academy who was visiting Red Sandstone City.


    The call was directly hung up. He awkwardly sent a text message.


    In a short while, an ordinary-looking woman with a rustic appearance arrived. She initially gave Lan Haitian a disgusted glance, then respectfully saluted Master Shi Qing inside the hut.


    ¡°Shang Qing pays her respects to the Master.¡±


    !!..


    ¡°Qing Nu is possibly related to the Forbidden Technique of the Purple Cloud Palace and may have been implanted with a God Seed. Lan Haitian wants to bring her into the Kunpeng Daoist Institute for personal protection. What do you think?¡±


    At Shi Qing¡¯s level of cultivation and status, there was no need to beat around the bush. He went straight to the point.


    ¡°It¡¯s only a possibility after all. If there was definite evidence, I would have no objections. Moreover, even if she was really implanted with a God Seed, wouldn¡¯t it be better to send her to the Imperial Medical Academy?¡±


    Shang Qing did not directly object but tactfully expressed her refusal.


    ¡°Well, I understand. Let it be then.¡±


    Shi Qing didn¡¯t exert his authority either. After all, what Shang Qing said made sense as things were just a possibility.


    Left with no other option, Lan Haitian could only sigh regretfully. He felt that Gu Changfeng had stepped onto a promising path and had secured a good future for his disciple in advance.


    However, this leads didn¡¯t necessarily have to stop here.


    With such thoughts, Lan Haitian and Shang Qing took their leave from the Spiritual Peak.


    After dinner, Chen Mobai was planning to search online for more information about the Forbidden Technique when he received a call from an unknown number.


    ¡°Hello, this is Lan Haitian.¡±


    ¡°How did you get my number?¡±


    Chen Mobai was surprised. He barely knew this man.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you leave your number at the police station? I asked them for it.¡±


    ¡°Are you a Law Enforcement Cultivator?¡±


    Chen Mobai was startled, thinking that his secret was discovered. However, he soon composed himself, realizing that it must be about Gu Changfeng.


    ¡°There¡¯s something I might need your help with. I¡¯m at the Evergreen Pharmacy waiting for you. You can come in through the back door. I have already opened it.¡±


    After saying that, Lan Haitian hung up. Chen Mobai was taken aback but soon realized that he didn¡¯t have any options given Lan Haitian was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and possibly a cultivator from the Law Enforcement Division.


    Eventually, he took a deep breath, changed into a black sweatshirt, and told his mom that he was going to take a walk.


    Evergreen Pharmacy.


    Chen Mobai made his way to the back door according to the instructions. The seal tape had been removed, and the door was slightly ajar.


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    Lan Haitian¡¯s voice sounded from inside. Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment before he pushed open the door and entered.


    The familiar yard, the medicine vats placed around, but all the medicinal liquid inside them had been drained out, leaving them empty.


    Lan Haitian was sitting on the edge of the vat in the center, swinging his legs and looking up at the gradually darkening sky.


    ¡°What matter does the senior want to discuss with me?¡±


    ¡°If Gu Changfeng has cultivated a Forbidden Technique, your little girlfriend might be the intended furnace. Do you want to save her?¡±


    As expected, it wasn¡¯t about the secret of the turtle shell he had been called for. As his suspicions were confirmed, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief. However, he didn¡¯t want Lan Haitian to know that he was relieved. Luckily he had been wearing a hat ever since he entered. The light was dim, and half of his face was hidden by the hoodie.


    ¡°She and I are just ordinary friends. Still, I would definitely want to save her if I could.¡±


    He proceeded according to what Lan Haitian had said.


    ¡°Almost all Foundation Establishment Cultivators can¡¯t resist the temptation of a Forbidden Technique. Although Gu Changfeng has not demonstrated it yet, when I tested his Divine Consciousness Intensity at the police station, I found that it far exceeded his actual realm. It can be confirmed that he has cultivated the Devour God Technique.¡±


    ¡°And a thing like a Forbidden Technique, once one starts cultivating it, it¡¯s very hard to stop. In the end, they will inevitably tread the evil path of preparing a furnace and implanting a God Seed.¡±


    ¡°The final fate of the Furnace is pretty much worse than death.¡±


    Having said that, Lan Haitian, who was sitting on the edge of the medicine vat, lowered his head. Chen Mobai, who was standing at the door, looked at him, suppressing various emotions in his heart and pretending to be reluctant.


    ¡°If you were a Law Enforcement Cultivator, I would definitely cooperate. But you¡¯re too suspicious, and I don¡¯t trust you.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not a Law Enforcement Cultivator.¡± Lan Haitian replied. He jumped off the medicine vat and walked towards Chen Mobai. Just when Chen Mobai¡¯s heart was pounding and thought he was about to be threatened, Lan Haitian suddenly spoke again, ¡°I¡¯m from the Regular Law Hall.¡±


    The three Great Halls of the Daoist Academy!


    The Xianwu Hall, Regular Law Hall, and Kaiyuan Hall!


    Among them, the Regular Law Hall holds all the military power of the Daoist Academy. When necessary, even the Law Enforcement Department falls under their jurisdiction.


    ¡°This¡­ do you have a way to prove it?¡±


    Chen Mobai was still pretending to be doubtful. Lan Haitian actually unlocked his phone and showed him his credentials.


    ¡°This is my Jurist number in the Regular Law Hall. If you say that I got it made in a fake ID shop, then I really can¡¯t prove it.¡±


    After glancing at it, Chen Mobai pretended to reluctantly concede and nodded.


    ¡°Alright, tell me what I should do.¡±


    ¡°You can keep an eye on your friend¡¯s mental state. If she suddenly becomes absent-minded or loses her sanity one day, you can inform me.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I observed that Master Qing Nu expelled her from the teacher¡¯s door in advance. She seemed to want to protect her; she doesn¡¯t seem like a bad person.¡±


    ¡°You simply don¡¯t know the temptation of a Forbidden Technique. It can turn a sheep into a wolf.¡±


    Chen Mobai swallowed, and at this moment, Lan Haitian had passed him and was heading towards the back door.


    ¡°How should I contact you?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I call you already? That¡¯s my number, make sure you save it.¡± Lan Haitian¡¯s voice came from behind. Chen Mobai turned around but he had already disappeared. The final words being, ¡°When you leave, remember to put the seal tape back..¡±

 Chapter 58 - Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Return to Fang Market 1

    Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Return to Fang Market 1


    Translator: 549690339


    Once back home, Chen Mobai pondered over the whole situation.


    He then searched for ¡°Devour God Technique¡± online, but indeed, he found no useful information, as if it was controlled by immortal sects.


    He looked up Gu Changfeng only to find out from the police department¡¯s announcement that he was suspected of tax evasion and was under administrative detention for investigation.


    This seemed to be the universal excuse used by the celestial police department whenever they arrested someone.


    Unconvinced, Chen Mobai visited the Water Mansion again and entered ¡°Devour God Technique¡± in the Auxiliary Cultivation application. As expected, thanks to his Rank-5 user privileges, he saw an intriguing post.


    The poster was anonymous.


    The title was: ¡°On the Possibility of Refining the Forbidden Technique, Devour God.¡±


    Chen Mobai glanced through the post. The writer had not maintained a high standard in her writing. It seemed like the readers were assumed to know the Devour God Technique as the author directly put her conjectures and solutions to refine it.


    The post mentioned that the most challenging part after cultivating the Devour God Technique was controlling the suddenly surging Divine Sense, which, if exceeded the limit of the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, would lead to mental confusion and even the possibility of exploding and dying.


    Chen Mobai thought for a while, then opened the National Library software again and entered the keyword: Devour God.


    !!..


    Surprisingly, a Cultivation Technique did appear.


    ¡°Devour God Technique: Fragment¡± stated: ¡°A secret technique from the ancient evil path. The practitioner transforms his own Divine Sense into a ¡®God Seed¡¯ and injects it into the Qi Sea of a cultivator. When the cultivator matures, the God Seed follows the Qi, refining itself and returning to the practitioner¡¯s Sea of Knowledge, thus eventually attaining Dao.¡±


    After reading up to this point, Chen Mobai found it very intriguing and wanted to read more. However, a prompt popped up saying: Insufficient authority, insufficient points, cannot redeem.


    Even though his pseudonym, Turtle Hermit, became a Rank-3 user of the National Library after the agent¡¯s intervention ¨C equivalent to a Gold Core cultivator, he even had insufficient privileges?


    Looking at a footnote in small fonts at the bottom of ¡°Devour God Technique¡±, as Chen Mobai suspected, it was written that a Rank-4 user could use points to view the complete article.


    This Foreign Technique indeed had a high threshold.


    Chen Mobai had no choice but to give up.


    However, it wasn¡¯t a complete loss. He now knew that if he wanted to cultivate the ¡°Devour God Technique¡±, a cultivator would indeed need a Pill Furnace to plant a God Seed. If Gu Changfeng had cultivated this forbidden technique, then Qing Nu would indeed be the only choice for a Pill Furnace.


    In that case, Lan Haitian had indeed given him a kind reminder.


    Thinking of the worst possible scenario, Chen Mobai frowned slightly, feeling that he needed to find a way to verify whether Qing Nu¡¯s Sea of Knowledge had been implanted with the so-called ¡°God Seed¡±.


    But even if he did verify it, he would not know what to do.


    Gu Changfeng was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If he had truly made some moves on Qing Nu, what could he, a junior cultivator at the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation, do?


    A sense of powerlessness surged in his heart. This was the first time he had felt a desperate need for power.


    If in the past he cultivated merely to fulfil his parents¡¯ expectations, and his own satisfaction derived from breaking through, now Chen Mobai had one more reason: to escape from his feelings of powerlessness in the face of Lan Haitian.


    He sat straight on a cushion in the Water Mansion, took out a tube of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water that Qing Nu had prepared, stared at it for a while, and with a firm look in his eyes, uncorked the bottle and drank it all at once.


    For seven consecutive days, Chen Mobai attended school, caught up with his previous coursework using his newly cultivated Divine Sense, cultivated his mind in the school¡¯s cultivation room, chatted and confided with Qing Nu after school, and cultivated in the Water Mansion after returning home. In between, he read the books he had bought from Southstream Market.


    His knowledge, Cultivation Level, and even Divine Sense were all steadily improving.


    The Water Mansion¡­


    After Chen Mobai completed his cultivation for the day, sensing the increasingly round and three-dimensional vortex of spiritual power in his Dantian Qi Sea, he nodded slightly in satisfaction.


    However, when he checked the unopened Qi-replenishing Spirit Water in his bag, he found that only one bottle was left, which made him frown in distress.


    During this period, Qing Nu had come out of her depression thanks to his companionship and comfort, and she had become even more hardworking than before.


    She believed that her master was wronged, and that he expelled her from the sect to protect her.


    So, she wanted to become stronger, in order to clear the false charges against her imprisoned master.


    She took the initiative to offer help to Chen Mobai in alchemy, to earn tuition fees.


    According to her ideas, she sought to enter the Great Dao Academy, improve herself, and make it easier to clear her master¡¯s name. Chen Mobai naturally encouraged Qing Nu¡¯s ideas, but also tactfully mentioned that failing to get into the four major Daoist academies was not a big deal, as the top ten colleges were also good.


    To this, Qing Nu simply smiled.


    Then they both returned to the topic of producing Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Before Gu Changfeng went in, he annulled Qing Nu¡¯s master-apprentice status at the Education Department¡¯s Inheritance Hall, so she could not inherit the things from the Evergreen Pharmacy. Things like medicine pots were fine because they were not expensive. Buying a small cold brewing machine, with a slower efficiency in producing Rank-1 elixirs, was just adequate.


    But only the medicine pond and Pill Furnace were indispensable, and pricey key tools.


    Usually, alchemists would find a spiritual spring for the Medicine Pond, then spend a long time nurturing it with the Water Method Alchemy, to slowly raise its grade.


    The medicine pond of the Evergreen Pharmacy was fed by the Spiritual Spring from the Immortal Gate Water Bureau, and the cost of the Spiritual Spring alone required tens of thousands of Good Deed Points a year.


    There was even less need to mention the Pill Furnace, many alchemists would find an Artifact Refiner to custom-make one according to their own habits.


    Qing Nu had an intermediate grade Rank-1 Pill Furnace, which was a gift from Gu Changfeng when she refined her first kind of elixir. It was just enough to produce Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    The problem now was to find a medicine pond.


    Qing Nu had been exploring various pharmacies in Red Sandstone City after school these days, hoping to rent a spare one that hadn¡¯t been used for a long time.


    Chen Mobai had become accustomed to the rapid progress of cultivation after taking Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. If this type of spiritual medicine were to run out, and he had to revert back to the slow pace of refining Spirit Qi he was used to, the contrast would be too great, and he would not be able to accept it.


    As he was preparing to return to the city, Chen Mobai noticed a thick pile of spirit talismans in his bag.


    These were the talismans he had initially prepared to get rich in the Southstream Market. Sadly, reality was cruel, and he was a bit thin-skinned. After not making any business for a few days, he felt disheartened. And with Gu Changfeng¡¯s incident, he had too many other things on his hands, so he didn¡¯t bother to go anymore.


    ¡°It¡¯s been a while, let¡¯s go check it out tomorrow.¡±


    With the idea of gaining experience, the next day Chen Mobai once again dressed in traditional clothes with a cloth bag hanging from his waist, heading to the Southstream Market which he hadn¡¯t visited for almost half a month.


    He didn¡¯t see Qi Er at the entrance. Maybe he had business today.

    Thinking so, Chen Mobai first strolled around the market place, found no change from before, and then walked to his own stall.


    The three people who used to have stalls nearby were now missing one. Only a bearded youth and a woman in a yellow dress remained. The other one might have made enough money and rented a cave dwelling for cultivation.


    Chen Mobai greeted the two stall neighbours without noticing their weird expressions, laid out his blanket elegantly, then proficiently laid out the spirit talismans one by one.


    ¡°Fellow Daoist, how much are you selling this Green Arrow Talisman for?¡±


    The woman in the yellow dress came over and asked after he finished setting up..

 Chapter 59 - Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Divine Wood Sect_l

    Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Divine Wood Sect_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°One thousand taels of gold.¡±


    Chen Mobai has done a survey in the Fang Market, the average price of a Rank-1 Lower-grade talisman is loo taels of gold, the average price of a Rank-1 Intermediate-grade talisman is 1,000 taels of gold, and the average price of a Rank-1 High-grade talisman is one Spirit Stone.


    So he instinctively shouted an average price.


    After saying this, he realized why he hadn¡¯t had any business before, this price didn¡¯t set out, let others come to ask, business naturally will not be good.


    ¡°How many do you have, I¡¯ll buy them all.


    The woman in the yellow shirt brightened her eyes after hearing this, pointing to the ¡°Green Arrow Talisman¡± that Chen Mobai had laid out on the stall.


    Chen Mobai had six left, but her words made him suspect, dare not sell all of


    them.


    ¡°Only two left.¡±


    ¡°Here, this is the gold ticket.¡±


    !!..


    The woman in the yellow shirt took out two large tickets from her sachet. Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but since he had already spoken and set up his stall here, he naturally could not break his word.


    He took another one from his bag which was hidden along with the one on the carpet and gave them both to her.


    ¡ö¡¯My name is Zhuo Ming, I¡¯m a Talisman Maker, we can exchange more in the future.¡±


    After saying this, the woman in the yellow shirt took two Green Arrow Talismans, then packed up her stall, carrying her belongings, and left.


    Chen Mobai was in a fog.


    At this time, another thin man with a long beard also came up, he squatted on Chen Mobai¡¯s stall and picked over the remaining Rank-1 Lower-grade Spirit


    Talismans.


    ¡°Those Green Arrow Talismans of yours, she could sell it for two to three


    thousand taels per piece.¡±


    The long-bearded youth suddenly said something, Chen Mobai touched his chin, completely unaware of what had happened.


    ¡°A few days ago, that guy Qi Er followed a team of Loose cultivators to hunt a snow rhino in Yun Meng Ze, he used a Rank-1 Intermediate-grade talisman, which broke the legs of this magical beast and made a great contribution.¡±


    After he finished, Chen Mobai finally understood what was going on.


    It turns out it was because of the Green Arrow Talisman that he gave to Qi Er. So when she saw him finally coming to set up a stall, Zhuo Ming couldn¡¯t bear to make the first move and picked up a loss.


    ¡°How many do you have left, pack them all for me.


    The long-bearded youth kindly explained it to Chen Mobai first, then smilingly pointed to the five Rank-1 Lower-grade talismans on the carpet.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment. Originally according to his pricing, it should be 100 taels per piece, but now it seems that his talismans have made a name for themselves through Qi Er, should he raise the price?


    ¡°May I ask for your name, fellow Daoist?¡±


    ¡°Lu Shu.¡±


    The long-bearded youth waved his hand and reported his name.


    ¡°To be honest, I have no idea what price should I set for my talismans in the Fang Market. Could you please give me some advice? These five are for consultation fees.¡±


    Lu Shu obviously did not expect Chen Mobai to have this idea, he was stunned for a moment and then exclaimed in admiration.


    ¡°Where do you come from as a Loose cultivator, looking at your cultivation level is not bad, as a Rank-6 Qi Cultivator, you should be well versed in all these.¡±


    ¡®?When I was young, I accidentally saw a Cultivation Technique carved on the rock wall in a cave, and I accidentally cultivated to the present. I just found this Southstream Market recently. Regrettably, I didn¡¯t even know about the existence of Spirit Stones before.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words prompted Lu Shu to nod slightly, then he was not polite, picked up the five Rank-1 Lower-grade talismans on the carpet, asked one by one about their effects and power, and started to set the price.


    ¡°This one is a Coiling Talisman¡­¡±


    The two were asking questions and answering them, and it took nearly half an hour.


    ¡ö¡¯I made a profit after all. if these five talismans were sold on the island of Yun Meng Ze, at least it would be a thousand taels of gold. I¡¯ll give you this book, consider it as my return gift.¡±


    Lu Shu took out a book from his carpet and threw it to Chen Mobai. It was called ¡°Insights into Talisman Making by Divine Wood Sect¡¯.


    ¡°Judging by the style of your talismans, you should have a Wood Spirit Root. This Divine Wood Sect is a premier Talisman Making sect in the Eastern Wilderness. They recruit a group of disciples every ten years. As you have reached the sixth level of Qi Cultivation at such a young age, if you familiarize yourself with these Insights into Talisman Making in advance, you might be able to become a disciple of Divine Wood Sect, and acquire the Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    At first, Chen Mobai thought this book would be of no use to him. Even if he wanted to learn Talisman Making, he would focus on the skills of the Earth Element Star. But after hearing Lu Shu¡¯s words, he was astonished and couldn¡¯t believe it.


    ¡°Foundation Building Pill? Does Divine Wood Sect give Foundation Building


    Pills to their disciples?¡±


    ¡°Of course, otherwise how could they be a major sect in the Eastern Wilderness? It¡¯s not just because they have a Gold Core elder in the sect who can allow the Rank-3 Alchemy Master from the Back to Sky Valley to share the Foundation Building Pills they make with them, right!


    Lu Shu misunderstood Chen Mobai¡¯s meaning. His point was, isn¡¯t the main medicine of this Foundation Building Pill better for refining Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicines? Why would they waste it by refining Foundation Building Pills?


    But soon, Chen Mobai came around, isn¡¯t this even better!


    This Tianhe Realm is not the Earth Element Star, perhaps this place is rich in resources and spiritual medicines, maybe they just want to waste it!


    He immediately picked up the book ¡°Insights into Talisman Making by Divine Wood Sect¡± and asked Lu Shu when they would recruit disciples next time.


    ¡°If it¡¯s ten years a period, it should be next year.


    Lu Shu is not sure, after all, he plans to learn the Puppetry Technique at Liu Jia Mountain. The reason why he sells talismans is just for livelihood.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai stood up and thanked Lu Shu. The latter was a bit puzzled about why he was so formal, but he just nodded, accepting the gratitude.


    After earning five talismans with a second-hand book, Lu Shu packed up his stall, saying that he would go to Yun Meng Ze to try his luck, and see if he could hunt some magical beasts.


    Compared to setting up a stall in the Fang Market, hunting magical beasts is the legitimate way for Tianhe Realm Cultivators to earn resources.


    A Rank-1 Lower-grade spirit beast, selling it to Sky Meal Building, as long as the meat is preserved perfectly, at least it¡¯s worth a Spirit Stone.

    It¡¯s because of this, with a Green Arrow Talisman, Qi Er followed the team to hunt a snow rhino, got 2 Spirit Stones as the share, it can be said to be a windfall, a huge profit.


    After Zhuo Ming and Lu Shu left, Chen Mobai set up his stall for a while. Not long later, Fang market Cultivators who heard the news rushed over and bought all of his nearly hundred Rank-1 Lower-grade talismans. After getting the tips from Lu Shu, Chen Mobai raised the price of each talisman to 200 taels of gold.


    After selling out, together with the gold tickets given by Zhuo Ming, he went to the Five Elements Sect¡¯s silver shop, converted it into two Spirit Stones.


    With full harvest, he left the Fang Market and returned to Water Mansion. He took out the ¡°introduction to the Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness¡± he had purchased earlier, and carefully read the chapter about Divine Wood Sect. Divine Wood Sect, the Wood branch of the Five Elements Sect, branched out from the Five Elements Sect fifty years ago when the Hun Yuan Elder passed away. The sect is based in Giant Tree Ridge, with a Rank-4 High-grade Spirit Vein. The exclusive Cultivation Technique is ¡°Everlasting Longevity Scripture . After cultivation, every breakthrough in a major realm can extend one¡¯s life by one Jiazi.


    This Cultivation Technique is good for longevity..

 Chapter 60 - Chapter 6o: Chapter 60 Ren Water Thunder Method 1

    Chapter 6o: Chapter 60 Ren Water Thunder Method 1


    Translator: 549690339          ¡ª


    The Eastern Wilderness has nineteen nations.


    In total, there are seven major sects of Immortal Cultivation, namely Back to Sky Valley, Five Elements Sect, Golden Cliff, Divine Wood Sect, Liu Jia Mountain, Mountain Shaker Peak, and Snow-Blowing Palace.


    Among them, the Five Elements Sect was once the overlord of the whole Eastern Wilderness. However, after the only Nascent Soul elder ¡®sat into dissolution¡¯ fifty years ago, a split occurred in the lineage of the five veins. As a result, Golden Cliff and Divine Wood Sect broke away.


    But even a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, the Five Elements Sect remains the strongest force in the Eastern Wilderness.


    In the entire Eastern Wilderness, these seven major sects monopolize the supply of Foundation Building Pills. To get these pills, all the remaining Loose Cultivators, Cultivation families, or even heirs of minor schools have to ask the seven major sects.


    Most Loose Cultivators tend to join these sects directly, becoming disciples. Once their contributions within the sect are sufficient, they can exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.


    On the other hand, heirs of Cultivation families and minor sects can exchange precious resources like Spirit Stones and Spiritual Medicine for the pills.


    Every once in a while, the seven major sects release a batch of Foundation Building Pills for the lower Cultivation powers.


    In addition to this, there are also markets set up by major foreign commercial associations. From time to time, these markets leak some Foundation Building Pills into the market with the intention of opening up the market in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The Yun Country where Southstream Market is located was once a subsidiary power of the Five Elements Sect. After the Divine Wood Sect split off, it became a border area between the two sects. After several clashes, the two sects each raised two Cultivation families. While controlling secular forces, they also slowly harvested the Cultivation resources of Yun Country.


    !!..


    In this process, the two major sects come to Yun Country every ten years to enroll into their ranks any Cultivation seedlings who possess spiritual roots, ensuring their absolute position.


    The Five Elements Sect was originally the supreme emperor of Yun Country, thus it has deep roots among the common folk. Therefore, whenever a child¡¯ with Spiritual Roots is found, their parents generally send them to the Five Elements Sect instead of the Divine Wood Sect.


    In contrast, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s leader cleverly realized they couldn¡¯t compete with the Five Elements Sect in secular competition. Therefore, they shifted their attention to Loose Cultivators. Not only do the recruited disciples have some foundation which saves a part of the spirit stones during training, but it also saves time otherwise wasted in searching among the common people.


    The only disadvantage is that the characters of Loose Cultivators are inconsistent, unlike the disciples of the Five Elements Sect who are brought in and trained from childhood, making them more reliable.


    Of course, this doesn¡¯t mean the Five Elements Sect doesn¡¯t recruit Loose Cultivators. They do, albeit strictly. Furthermore, it is rumored that joining as a Loose Cultivator involves a heart-questioning and soul-examining process to ensure that those who join do not have ulterior motives.


    After reading the introduction to the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai then read the one for the Five Element Sect. Comparing the notes in the Water Mansion, he vaguely realized why Liu Yanpei had disappeared fifty years ago and never¡¯ returned.


    Fifty years ago, the only Nascent Soul senior in the Eastern Wilderness, the elder Hun Yuan of the Five Elements sect ¡®sat into dissolution¡¯, after which two major factions of the gold and wood veins split. Undoubtedly, it must have been a chaotic time filled with bloody strife.


    It is likely that Liu Yanpei was called back to the Five Elements Sect due to the disorder and possibly fell victim to an internal struggle.


    For the next twenty years, the Five Elements Sect intensely battled with the split-off Golden Cliff and Divine Wood Sect. During the war, this Rank-2 Spirit Vein Water Mansion with no value was naturally forgotten.


    If explained in this way, things basically make sense.¡±


    Sitting in the Water Mansion, Chen Mobai consolidated the information he had read over the past few days from the ¡®Introduction to the Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness¡¯, ¡®Distribution Map of Cultivation Powers in Yun Country¡¯, ¡®Biography of Donghuang Cultivators¡¯ and so forth, by forming a timeline in his mind. Through this, he was able to analyze the reason why this Water Mansion was now vacant.


    ¡°But over the past twenty years, the Five Element Sect acknowledges the split of Golden Cliff and Divine Wood Sect, forming the current power structure of the seven major sects in the Eastern Wilderness. The Water Mansion must be recorded in the internal documents of the Five Element Sect. Would they come to reclaim it?¡±


    Chen Mobai realized a loophole: the reason why Liu Yanpei had been here to farm fish and grow bamboo was mainly to meet the dietary preferences of a Gold Core elder in the upper echelons.


    The Five Elements Sect might overlook this small Rank-2 Spiritual Land, but what if this Gold Core elder suddenly got the munchies and remembered it?


    Chen Mobai now hopes that this Gold Core elder either died in the internal strife of the Five Elements Sect fifty years ago, or was seriously injured and needed recuperation, thus forgetting about this fish-growing, bamboo-growing Water Mansion.


    However, with this thought in his mind, Chen Mobai started to feel uneasy in what he had initially considered a safe Water Mansion.


    ¡°After all, this is the Spirit Vein of the Five Elements Sect. If they see me, an outsider, occupying it, they definitely won¡¯t be pleased. Maybe, I should try to join the Five Elements Sect!¡±


    Chen Mobai had already developed some affection for the secret base in the Water Mansion and was somewhat reluctant to leave.


    However, joining the Five Elements Sect is not easy, being subject to the heart-questioning process could reveal the existence of the Ground Origin Star and might even lead to a war between the two worlds.


    When he thought of the significant casualty numbers in the wars of previous eras recorded in the Immortal Sect¡¯s history books, Chen Mobai felt it best to be careful. For the sake of avoiding a war which could cause widespread death and destruction, resulting in rivers of blood, he decided to join the Divine Wood Sect which is known for lenient recruitment of Loose Cultivators.


    ¡°However, before leaving, I should try to open these two auxiliary temples to see what¡¯s inside.¡±


    Having clarified his short-term goal in the Tianhe Realm ¨C to join the Divine Wood Sect, and his long-term goal ¨C to obtain the Foundation Building Pills, Chen Mobai rose to his feet, turning to look at the two auxiliary temples sealed by thunder prohibitions.


    The power of these two prohibitions has reached Rank-i top-grade, representing the strongest measures of Liu Yanpei who was at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    This method is called ¡°Ren Water Thunder Method.¡±


    This is also the supplementary technique of Blackwater Cultivation, which Chen Mobai found out from the cultivation notes left by Liu Yanpei in the study hall.


    The old man who died in the Water Mansion might really be a disciple of Liu Yanpei, because his complete Blackwater Cultivation matched the descriptions in Liu Yanpei¡¯s notes for the most part, except for this powerful ¡°Ren Water Thunder Method,¡± which requires reaching the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and had not been passed down.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The notes Liu Yanpei left behind about his practice of the Blackwater Cultivation also mentioned that he once saved a young man from drowning nearby and seeing he had spiritual roots, took him in as his nominal disciple to alleviate his tiresome duties of raising fish and growing bamboo.


    This ¡°Ren Water Thunder Method¡± is a prohibition formed by drawing spiritual energy from the Water Vein. It¡¯s not connected to the large formation so one only needs a persistent attack with Spirit Talismans to wear down the power of the prohibition until it disappears.


    Originally, Chen Mobai thought that since everything in the Water Mansion would eventually belong to him, he didn¡¯t have to hurry. He planned to cultivate a powerful technique when he reached the late stages of Qi Cultivation and then slowly break the prohibition.


    However, it now seems that he may have to spend some money to buy some powerful Spirit Talismans or Magic Artifacts.


    Chen Mobai knew that in these auxiliary halls, one must definitely be growing Jade Bamboo. But he didn¡¯t know whether it had died or grown more luxuriant after being unattended for fifty years..

 Chapter 61 - Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Siqi Pavilion__l

    Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Siqi Pavilion__l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai seemed to be very lucky recently.


    In Southstream Market, his talismans have opened up the market, and after returning to Di Yuan Star, Qing Nu also brought good news.


    Treasure Bottle Pharmacy has an unused alchemy room, fully equipped with a medicine pool and other equipment, which can be used to start producing Qi-replenishing Spirit Water again.


    This indeed made Chen Mobai breathe a sigh of relief.


    In recent days, without this Spirit Water, his cultivation speed has significantly slowed down, making him, who had been accustomed to high efficiency, feel at


    a loss.


    However, after Qing Nu began preparing the second batch of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, Chen Mobai had another problem.


    That was, where would the Good Deed Points for purchasing the main medicine and auxiliary medicine come from next time?


    Although he now has 24 Spirit Stones on him, he is already a little afraid to go to the bank and exchange Spirit Stones for Good Deed Points.


    The intermediate-Rank-1 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water requires about five days to refine after completion.


    !!..


    The alchemy room rented from Treasure Bottle Pharmacy is for a month, and Qing Nu¡¯s idea is to make the most out of it by buying more medicine materials so that within this month, enough Qi ¨C replenishing Spirit Water can be prepared to support Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation until he reaches the seventh level of Qi Cultivation.


    According to Qing Nu¡¯s efficiency, at least three batches of medicine materials


    are needed.


    After much thinking, Chen Mobai still didn¡¯t come up with a good solution. He could only take out one Spirit Stone, for which he got gold in exchange at the Silver Shop of the Five Elements Sect in Southstream Market, and went to find


    Wu Wan.


    ¡°The quality of the gold is the same, but I can only purchase the same amount as last time, that is, 40 pieces, priced at 4300 Good Deed Points.¡±


    After Wu Wan measured the weight and purity, he hesitated for a moment when looking at the hundred gold bars in front of him. Still, he decided to be a good person and only took 40 ¡ãf them.


    ¡°Oh, what do you mean by this, Master Wu?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit confused and asked.


    ¡°As you know, gold is controlled by the Immortal Gate, and all of us goldsmiths have registered at the Immortal Trade Bureau. Before getting our business licenses, we were told that if the same person trades gold cumulatively more than 10,000 Good Deed Points with us, we need to report to the market supervision department and law enforcement police department.¡±


    Chen Mobai broke into a cold sweat after Wu Wan finished speaking.


    ¡°Thankyou, Master Wu.¡±


    He gave Wu Wan a solemn thank you, who responded by lightly shaking his hand, putting the 40 gold bars in his safe with gloved hands, and then transferring 4300 Good Deed Points to Chen Mobai through his phone.


    ¡°You¡¯ve traded gold twice with me, and you¡¯re only 4850 points away from the 10,000 Good Deed Points limit. If you¡¯re really short of Good Deed Points, I can take 5 more, which will just fall within the 10,000 limit.¡±


    ¡°However, if the Immortal Trade Bureau randomly checks my little shop¡¯s accounts at the end of the year, your transaction just hitting the 10,000 Good Deed Points limit will be a bit conspicuous and might be targeted.¡±


    ¡°So my suggestion is to just trade 40 more this time. In case we are selected for inspection, I have several customers like you, and with some adjustment in the account books and tax forms, the Immortal Gate will most likely turn a blind


    eye.¡±


    After failing the Foundation Establishment, Wu Wan seemed to have let go and was ready to be more devoted to treasure appraisal and business. He earnestly advised Chen Mobai on trading gold, taking the initiative to remind him.


    ¡°Of course, if you¡¯re desperate for Good Deed Points, I can also introduce you to some of my contacts. You just have to be careful not to exceed 10,000 Good Deed Points. However, if you, a new face, go to trade gold, some bosses will report to the Immortal Gate just in case.¡±


    After hearing all of this, Chen Mobai felt quite alarmed.


    His possessions were already a bit illegally obtained, and if they were targeted by the relevant departments of the Immortal Gate, it would be disastrous. ¡ö¡¯I almost forgot. If you register a company, you can avoid this 10,000 limit, and our transactions would then be on a B2B bill. At the end of the year, when the accumulated points are returned, there might even be a discount.¡±


    Wu Wan proposed another method, but Chen Mobai immediately shook his head.


    He is only eighteen years old. If he rashly registers a company specifically for gold trading, wouldn¡¯t that attract more attention?


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai thanked Wu Wan again, and also gave up the idea of exchanging more gold from the Tianhe Realm.


    If it can¡¯t be done here, then it might be worth trying the previous idea.


    Southstream Market.


    Chen Mobai, dressed in ancient-style clothes, walked into a store opened by a local Immortal Cultivation family.


    Because Yun Country is located near the Yunmengze River, it is rich in Spiritual Energy. Many Immortal Cultivation families rely on the local Water Vein to open Medicine Fields, which can not only train their own Alchemists but also be sold to major Alchemy Sects like Back to Sky Valley.


    Moreover, after cultivating Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine, they can exchange it for Foundation Building Pills, so practically all the Immortal Cultivation families here have a Medicine Field as a family treasure.


    But Back to Sky Valley only accepts top-grade medical materials, so a lot of lowly rated materials harvested after maturity fall into the hands of local market shops for sale.


    The three-story shop is called ¡°Siqi Pavilion¡± and is one of the industries of the Lou family, one of the four major Foundation Establishment families in the market.


    Chen Mobai heard from Qing Nu that there are four types of medicine properties: cold, hot, warm and cool, referred as the Four Qi, and that¡¯s probably where this shop got its name.


    ¡°Do you need spiritual medicine, or Spirit Pill?


    As soon as he entered the shop, a beautiful female cultivator who was at the third level of Qi Cultivation greeted him. She took a look at Chen Mobai s exquisitely stitched clothes and had a smiling face.


    -I have these three kinds of medicinal herbs which my elders need for Alchemy. But I don¡¯t exactly know what they are. Could you please check if you have them here?¡±


    Chen Mobai took out the three main medicinal herbs used for the refining of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water from Qing Nu and handed it over to the female cultivator of the Siqi Pavilion, who nodded, took a tray and received the medicines.


    ¡°This is Bai Ji, Chui Zhu Grass, Zhe Li, very common types of Spirit Grass. We have all of them in our store. How much do you need?¡±


    The female cultivator seemed to have a good knowledge of medicinal herbs, looked carefully, smelled, and felt them and finally, with a charming smile, named three types of medicinal herbs that had completely different names on Di Yuan Star.


    ¡°What are the prices?¡±


    -They are all very common medicinal herbs, but the starting price is 1 Spirit Stone per pound. The prices for the three herbs are all the same.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai calculated that one pound of medicinal herbs could be used to refine five times. Even if Qing Nu could only be successful ten times in one go, it could still support his cultivation up to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation. The price is also entirely acceptable. With these, he only needs to buy four types of auxiliary medicines from the Di Yuan Star.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s start by buying one pound each.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the beautiful female cultivator still had the same smile on her face, and she immediately invited Chen Mobai to the second floor.


    After her introduction, Chen Mobai learned that the second floor was where Spirit Grass and medicinal herbs were sold. The third floor was for selling their family¡¯s handmade Spirit Pill. Recently, a new batch of Juling Pills had been put on the shelves, and they wanted to promote it to see if Chen Mobai was interested.


    However, the Spirit Pills in Tianhe Realm all have a history of exceeding the standard toxin measures, and Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t dare to buy these. The Spirit Pills were abandoned, and after paying for the medicinal herbs in Spirit Stones, Chen Mobai left directly..

    Treasure Bottle Alchemy Room.


    Chen Mobai looked at the sign on the door, pulled out the access card given to him by Qing Nu, and the doorman let him in after a quick swipe.


    ¡°You¡¯re just in time, this is the successfully blended spiritual water. All you have to do is pour it into its packaging.¡±


    As one of the top pharmacies in Red Sandstone City, the rented Treasure Bottle Alchemy Room was fully equipped. Dressed in a white lab coat, Qing Nu handed a kettle of standard Qi-replenishing Spirit Water to Chen Mobai and pointed to a dozen glass tubes plugged into slots on the table nearby.


    ¡°What about the rest?¡±


    Chen Mobai placed the three large bags of medicinal herbs he was holding onto the table, grabbed the spout pot to start packaging, and looked at the remaining half of the medicinal liquid that had been separated in the pool.


    ¡°These original liquids exceed the standard for pill poison content. After collection, they need to be put into special packaging bags. Before you leave, give them to the recycling officer of the Treasure Bottle Pharmacy. They¡¯ll take care of their disposal.¡±


    As she spoke, Qing Nu took a rolled-up plastic bag from a cabinet on the wall. With a bit of spiritual power injected, it immediately inflated and turned into a square packaging bag.


    ¡°You¡¯ve improved, there are 20 tubes this time.¡±


    Chen Mobai steadily poured the diluted spiritual water from the spout pot into the standard glass tubes. Then, he stopped up the tube orifices, sealing them.


    ¡°The equipment in this alchemy room is better than what my old master used. Plus, I have practical experience now. I would definitely have improved. If I wasn¡¯t unfamiliar with this alchemy room, there would have been 25 tubes, nearly a 50% success rate.¡±


    As she spoke, Qing Nu had already packaged the original liquid that didn¡¯t meet the standard and put it into a trash bin marked ¡°poison¡±.


    ¡°Is this the next batch of medicinal herbs? Let me take a look.¡±


    Saying so, Qing Nu opened up the main medicinal herbs that Chen Mobai had brought over from Tianhe Realm, took a whiff, and her eyes lit up.


    ¡°The age and medicinal properties of these herbs are more substantial than the ones we bought online the last two times. We might be able to yield 30 tubes in the next refinement.¡±


    Hearing her words, Chen Mobai also smiled. He had been afraid that items from the Tianhe Realm might not meet the criteria here.


    ¡°However, these herbs have been preserved poorly, some of the medicinal properties have already vanished. They need to be used up quickly.¡±


    After confirming all three types of medicinal herbs, Qing Nu gave Chen Mobai some less-than-uplifting news.


    This was expected, after all, in Dihuan Star, the alchemy techniques have reached an apex, and there are classified preservation methods for different properties of medicinal herbs. Some even have specifically designed medicine warehouses set at different temperatures just to best preserve the medicinal properties.


    However, in the Tianhe Realm, the best-case scenario they have is likely just dry, ventilated, and cool storage. If over half the medicinal properties can be preserved, it¡¯s already the result of the cultivators¡¯ hard work.


    ¡°By the way, how does your master usually charge the Treasure Bottle Pharmacy for selling these bottles of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked. Recently, he was planning to buy a strong amulet to break through the Ren Water Thunder Method inside the Water Mansion, but he was short on Good Deed Points.


    ¡°My master only charges a processing fee. The party providing the medicinal herbs pays for them. Regardless of the final production rate, he charges 1000 Good Deed Points per processing session.¡±


    ¡°1000 per session, that¡¯s easy money.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Qing Nu pulled out a calculator and did some math for him.


    ¡°Treasure Bottle Pharmacy has its own medicinal fields and factories, and the cost of the main and auxiliary medicinal herbs add up to around 2000 points at most.¡±


    ¡°My master crafts rank-1, intermediate grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water with 95% or more success rate each time, handing over 40 tubes to them. With the market price of 200 Good Deed Points per tube, they can sell them for a total of 8000 points.¡±


    ¡°Minus the looo-point processing fee, the 2000-point material cost, and a bit of costs for other channels, Treasure Bottle Pharmacy makes at least 4000 points in profit per processing session.¡±


    After hearing all this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°Selling medicine really is profitable.¡±


    ¡°However, we also can¡¯t ignore the cost of maintaining such a large scale operation for Treasure Bottle Pharmacy, or the salary costs at the medicinal fields and factories. But regardless, selling medicine is acknowledged as the easiest way to get rich in the Immortal World.¡±


    In the four disciplines of the Immortal World ¨C Technique, Pill, Instrument, Array-


    The talismans representing spells only sell well if they are for daily life. As the barriers of entry are low and competition is high, the profit margin is usually slim.


    It¡¯s the same for magic artifacts, those used for combat generally don¡¯t sell well. Only kitchen tools, airships, cars, and these sorts of transportation tools allow one to make money.


    Formations are even higher-end products. Most are custom-made private orders for entire houses. Branding is vital there, and very few manufacturers tackle this field.


    Only in the domain of medicinal pills is the industry exceedingly mature. Everyone needs them when cultivating and progressing, but the barriers to entry are strictly monitored by the Immortal World, raising the standards constantly. After thousands of years of internal competition, six large-scale pharmaceutical institutions, including Treasure Bottle Pharmacy, emerged.


    These large-scale pharmaceutical companies are practically monopolies. If not for the Immortal World¡¯s strict control on prices, ordinary cultivators like Chen Mobai might not be able to afford them even if they managed to secure some.


    ¡°It¡¯s a shame that they¡¯re not refining Qi-replenishing Spirit Water for the Treasure Bottle Pharmacy. Otherwise, they would provide ¡®Spiritual Extracts,¡¯ which could help ensure a success rate of over 80% each time.¡±


    Looking at the original liquid in the trash bin waiting to be discarded, Qing Nu couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    ¡°Spiritual Extract? What¡¯s that? Is it a type of auxiliary medicinal herb?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked.


    ¡°Yes, something like that. It¡¯s an auxiliary herb that large pharmacies use specifically for filtering pill poison. The reason my master has a success rate of over 95% every time is not only due to her superb skills but also because of the ¡®Spiritual Extract¡¯ provided by the Treasure Bottle Pharmacy.¡±


    ¡°Can you buy ¡®Spiritual Extract¡¯?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re making it sound simpler than it actually is. That ¡®Spiritual Extract¡¯ is precisely why these large-scale pharmaceutical firms stand out amidst the fierce competition in the Immortal World¡¯s marketplace. Any ordinary pharmacy, despite having a rank-4 alchemist, wouldn¡¯t last long in the competitive pharmaceutical industry due to the lack of ¡®Spiritual Extract¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about all the alchemists in the Immortal World. These alchemists usually join one of the six major pharmaceutical firms to better their opportunities in the end.


    ¡°So, this ¡®Spiritual Extract¡¯ is only available in the six major pharmaceutical firms?¡±


    ¡°Not necessarily, ¡®Spiritual Extract¡¯ is obtained by ground-up spiritual stones that have been drained of their spiritual energy. It can be collected from various channels, but only the six major pharmaceutical firms, supported by either the Immortal World or one of the four Daoist Academies, have a vast reserve of spiritual stones.¡±

    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was taken aback.


    ¡°What did you say?¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Spiritual Extract is crushed spiritual stones that have been drained of their spiritual energy?! That thing can be reused like that?!¡±


    Chen Mobai was once again moved to tears by the thriftiness of Dihuan Star¡¯s cultivators..

 Chapter 63 - Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Heavenly Spiritual Root_l

    Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Heavenly Spiritual Root_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai remembered that there was still a used spirit stone in the drawer of his room. Full of energy, he immediately ran back to retrieve it.


    ¡°Crushing this into a spiritual extract will filter out the toxic remnants of two doses of raw medicine, but we still need a reactant.¡±


    Qing Nu didn¡¯t question why Chen Mobai had such an item. She had simply assumed his family once produced a great cultivator and now he was a somewhat downcast young master.


    ¡°Can the reactant be purchased?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s cheap. You can buy a large jar for 100 Good Deed Points, which is enough to compound 50 doses of spiritual extract.¡±


    Qing Nu¡¯s words eased Chen Mobai¡¯s worries. His Good Deed Points were not in abundance and while the three main elements needed to make Qi-replemshing Spirit Water could be purchased in the Tianhe Realm, the four auxiliary ones could only be bought here on Earth. His remaining Good Deed Points would only be enough to purchase enough for three doses.


    ¡°Do I no longer need a flavor modifier?¡±


    Qing Nu noted the omission and Chen Mobai shook his head, indicating that he had run out of pocket money. He had no choice but to cut back on expenses in any way possible.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll first refine a dose of Spirit Water without flavor modifiers for you to try. If you can tolerate the taste, we¡¯ll continue in this way for the rest.¡± As she said this, Qing Nu was still apprehensive. She had tasted it before and found it unbearably bitter.


    Chen Mobai nodded. At the same time, he was thinking of going to Southstream Market to collect some used spirit stones. He packed away the 20 tubes of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water that was successfully refined and prepared to leave.


    ¡°Right, you¡¯re the same age as me. How are your preparations for the college entrance exam going?¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai remembered this detail and asked with a touch of concern.


    ¡°Whether I take the exams or not, it doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯ve already been given a direct admission.¡±


    ¡°Really? Which university have you been admitted to?¡±


    ¡°Jumang Daoist Academy!¡±


    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s a great university¡­wait, what academy did you say¡­?


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Qing Nu, unsure if he had heard her correctly.


    ¡°Jumang Daoist Academy. Why else would you think the Baoping Pharmacy would rent me this alchemy room? I¡¯m essentially using the facilities of my


    own school.¡±


    After a long silence, Chen Mobai took a good look at Qing Nu. Remembering their first encounter at the top-tier high school, she had always concealed her face with a mask and hat.


    Originally, he thought it was because she was beautiful and had many suitors at school.


    Now it seemed more likely that she was simply too famous within the school. ¡°Now it makes sense why Gu Changfeng, a cultivator who has reached the Foundation Establishment realm, could not resist taking you as a disciple when he came to give a lecture at the school. Even if a Golden Core realm expert met you, they would probably not be able to resist. Your spiritual root is indeed a Heavenly Spiritual Root.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed and felt foolish for not realizing this sooner. ¡°Actually, that¡¯s not the case. Although those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots cultivate quickly before core formation, the absence of obstacles and bottlenecks in the early stage inhibits the success rate of Nascent Soul Formation. It¡¯s not as high as those with ordinary spiritual roots who climb step-by-step. Among the Nascent Soul realm cultivators today, only four started off as Heavenly Spiritual Roots. So if there are sufficient resources, my future achievements might not even surpass yours.


    Qing Nu shook her head. Her words rendered Chen Mobai speechless. Only a short while ago, his sole ambition was to successfully establish his foundation within his lifetime.


    ¡°What realm are you in now?¡±


    ¡°Qi Cultivation Rank-6.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai finally felt a bit better ¨C he was at the same level as her.


    However, considering that the spiritual energy in Qing Nu¡¯s apartment was only Rank-1 Lower-grade and she could only practice Qi cultivation two hours a day in the cultivation room at her school, it was undoubtedly impressive that she could reach Rank-6 under such conditions.


    ¡°You carry on then. I¡¯m going back to review.¡±


    ¡°Alright, come back for the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water tomorrow. After filtering out the toxic residues with spiritual extract, we should still have enough left to compound about fifteen more tubes.


    Chen Mobai nodded appreciatively. He reminded himself that he now had the good fortune of the Tianhe Realm. If he became a major trader between the two realms in the future, there would be an endless supply of spirit stones. Even though he didn¡¯t possess a Heavenly Spiritual Root, he still had a promising future.


    The next day, Chen Mobai went to Southstream Market and happened to run into Qi Er at the entrance. Qi Er was very grateful, saying that he would have died in Yun Meng Ze if it hadn¡¯t been for the Green Arrow Talisman.


    in the course of their conversation, Qi Er wanted to give Chen Mobai the two spirit stones he had earned as a reward, but Chen Mobai shook his head and declined.


    Afterwards, Chen Mobai enlisted Qi Er¡¯s help to buy some used spirit stones, preferably those depleted of spiritual energy.


    Even though Qi Er found the request odd, he successfully collected the used spirit stones from several small loose cultivators in his network in less than half a day, totaling seventeen.


    Qi Er informed him that he had purchased each spirit stone for 10 taels of gold. Chen Mobai nodded and handed him a 500 tael gold note.


    With this amount of spiritual extract, Qing Nu had more than enough for refinement, so Chen Mobai didn¡¯t linger any longer in the market.


    Spurred on by the news that Qing Nu had already secured a place at Jumang Daoist Academy, he devoted himself even more assiduously to his studies over the next two months.


    After acquiring a sufficient amount of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, he stopped wasting time peddling goods altogether, focusing solely on studying and cultivation in the hopes of achieving a high score in the college entrance exam. If he couldn¡¯t make it to the four top Daoist academies, he at least wanted to get into one of the top ten academies.


    For now, his goal was set on the Pure Yang Academy!


    Thus, Chen Mobai embarked on the most hardworking and upwardly mobile time of his life.


    Every night, he would cultivate Qi in the Water Mansion. In the mornings, while attentively listening to lessons at school, he also reviewed the basic knowledge from the past three years for all four subjects.


    Nurturing divine sense, or in ancient times referred to as ¡®enlightenment¡¯, opened up the door of wisdom.


    The spells, formulas, talismans, formations he had once found complicated and difficult to understand became intelligible with a few reads, coupled with his consistent consulting of teachings from the educators. His foundations solidified over time, and he gradually became more scholarly.

    The most surprising thing for Chen Mobai was his breakthrough in his realm of cultivation.


    Perhaps due to his consistent practice of the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique and the early readiness of his divine sense, the bottleneck of the later stage of Qi Cultivation didn¡¯t exist; coupled with a steady supply of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and Rank-2 spiritual energy from the Water Mansion, he broke through to the 7th realm of Qi Cultivation a week before the college entrance examination.


    Henceforth, Chen Mobai finally gained confidence that he could try for entrance to the Four Great Daoist Academies.


    However, after reaching the 7th realm of Qi Cultivation, he was once again confronted with a crucial question.


    Should he continue practicing the ¡°Five Elements Cultivation,¡± or shift to the ¡°Pure Yang Scrolls¡±?

 Chapter 64 - Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Proxy Immortal Gate Network_l

    Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Proxy Immortal Gate Network_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Water Mansion.


    After watering the Green Paulownia seedling, he opened his personal panel.


    [Name: Chen Mobai]


    [Age: 18 years old]


    [Realm: Qi Cultivation Seventh Level]


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 27, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10]


    [Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Cultivation]


    [Skills: Propulsion Technique, Cleaning Technique, Spiritual Force Shield, Qi Nourishing Technique, Water Controlling Technique, Water Elemental Shield] Though Five Elements Cultivation was rather ordinary, it had one advantage: it could use spells of any attribute.


    Even though Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t practiced Blackwater Cultivation, within the Water Mansion, an environment with rich resources, he had integrated all three spells recorded there.


    Among them, ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡± was simplest, and he had now mastered it.


    The ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡±, originally beginner-level, made significant progress after reaching the divine sense realm. He was only one step away from casting it, which required condensing a spiritual water known as ¡°Black Water¡±.


    The only exception was the last, ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±. He had always failed to grasp it, so he hadn¡¯t included this spell in his own skill list yet.


    After some thought, Chen Mobai decided it was best to be cautious about cultivation. He decided to continue practicing the ¡°Five Elements Cultivation¡± for now and consult the professors at the Daoist Academy after he passed the entrance exam.


    If he could be admitted to the Pure Yang Academy, there would be no doubt; he would immediately switch to the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±.


    But what if he showed great potential and was admitted to one of the four major Daoist Academies? There might be even better cultivation techniques than the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±!


    In any case, Five Elements Cultivation can be seamlessly converted into any of the Five Elements attributes. There was no hurry to switch techniques.


    Like Qing Ping, who achieved ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± through Five Elements Cultivation and then transitioned to the Elemental Soul Cultivation Technique of Jade Purity Scripture, he was reputed to be the weakest among his contemporaries. However, he was the only one who had reached that realm. Judging by his achievements, Qing Ping had surpassed ten generations of spiritual root cultivators, and may even hope for Primordial Spirit transformation.


    Chen Mobai took Qing Ping as a model, understood this point, and instantly felt enlightened.


    Anyway, the college entrance examination was just a week away. Even rushing now wouldn¡¯t allow him to start cultivating the ¡°Three Sun Body¡± in time. He could let go for the time being, and consider this problem again after the entrance examination of the various Daoist Academies.


    Then he remembered another matter, opened the Turtle Treasure, and sure enough, the ¡°Proxy¡± button was protruding and glowing.


    ¡°I¡¯ve broken through to Qi Cultivation Seventh Level, and can represent another app. Which one should I choose?¡±


    He returned to his apps list, scrolled through it, and kept looking. He was inclined to pick the comprehensive shopping app ¡°Immortal Portal¡±, but was equally attracted to ¡°Library of Immortal Spells¡±.


    The Library of Immortal Spells contains all the spells from the four great Daoist Academies, ten academies, and one hundred and twenty prefectures of the Lower Land Star.


    It was reported to contain one million spells.


    Alongside the ¡°National Library¡±, they were known as the two major secrets of the Immortal Sect. It¡¯s said that it also collects some divine skills inspired by ancient scriptures, such as the Immortal Technique ¨C Mending the Heaven.


    However, after carefully considering it, Chen Mobai still chose the ¡°Immortal Portal¡±.


    Because he didn¡¯t have much desire for spells at the moment.


    He preferred something more practical.


    He clicked the ¡°Proxy¡± button on the Turtle Treasure, then selected the icon for ¡°Immortal Portal¡±. The cute turtle logo appeared in the center of the screen, rotating once before disappearing into the profile picture of the newly registered user in the top right corner.


    It was still the turtle immortality.


    After the representation was completed, Chen Mobai opened up this new profile to take a look. As expected, it only had rank-3 permissions.


    It seemed the software developed by the Immortal Sect had different protection measures than those from the public.


    But the rank-3 permissions were sufficient.


    Chen Mobai opened the official Immortal Sect flagship store page, and, as expected, he had many new permissions.


    For example, free shipping. Usually, when he purchased items, he only dared to buy from addresses in Red Sandstone City or nearby cities. This was because, when shipped from other major cities, the cost of freight could sometimes be nearly as high as the value of the goods themselves.


    This was largely because all the oil and gas resources on Lower Land Star had been exhausted. Now, vehicles and planes were all powered by spiritual liquid and spirit stones. The price to make a round trip quickly, was quite expensive. In addition to free shipping, he¡¯s also able to know about items that will be available for purchase a month in advance.


    However, the best rank-3 user privilege was that, each month, they could pre-order one item officially released by the Immortal Sect. It could be a pill or a magic artifact. As soon as it was available for grab, it would appear on a user¡¯s order page. The official system assumed you had grabbed it; all you needed to do was pay for it.


    After looking into this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    But he could only look at these. He didn¡¯t dare to use this permission for actual purchases.


    Because once he made a purchase with this account, it would be revealed immediately.


    However, knowing a month in advance about the items that would be listed by the various flagship stores on the Immortal Portal was already very useful to him.


    But Chen Mobai guessed that the early information available via proxy might only include details programmed in advance. If there were last-minute changes by the flagship stores, it probably wouldn¡¯t be included.


    As he was thinking, he began to browse a list of elixirs the Immortal Sect¡¯s official flagship store would be selling in the coming month.


    On the 5th, 18th, and 26th of next month, a triad of Foundation Establishment enhancers will be available. The timing of their releases will vary between morning, afternoon, and evening.


    in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart, a fervor ignited. If he could grab these items and resell them, he could make at least a 20% profit. Based on the official price of 800,000 Good Deed Points per item, that means a gain of over one hundred thousand Good Deed Points per item.


    The only problem was that he didn¡¯t have enough capital to make the purchases.


    But now that he knew this information, he had time to figure out a solution. He could even post online that he had grabbed the items but didn¡¯t have the money to buy them. If anyone was interested, they could wire him the money. Although this may seem somewhat deceptive, as long as he got someone familiar to guarantee him, there would certainly be people willing to take up the offer.


    For example, Wu Wan. He handled business and likely had a broad network of contacts.


    Even though Chen Mobai had been diligently cultivating recently, he had also been contemplating how to make money on Lower Land Star.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Exchanging spirit stones and selling gold were definitely not options anymore. He had also thought about selling the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water produced by Qing Nu on his online store. However, since Qing Nu didn¡¯t have the qualification to apply for the Alchemist registration certificate yet, no one would dare to buy the spirit water, even though it met the standards.


    The first choice for cultivators on Lower Land Star to buy elixirs were the direct supply stores run by the six giant pharmaceutical factories, followed by the stores of famous Alchemists. Small pharmacies could only do business among acquaintances.


    Gu Changfeng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who ran a pharmacy, didn¡¯t have a thriving business. Therefore, Chen Mobai¡¯s business wouldn¡¯t fare any better.


    That¡¯s why he chose to proxy for the Immortal Portal. After a lot of pondering, he decided that this was a solution to his embarrassing financial constraints on Lower Land Star.


    He had already tasted poverty for a month, and dealing with untreated Qi-replenishing Spirit Water was too bitter..

 Chapter 65 - Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Spirit Ascension Powder_l

    Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Spirit Ascension Powder_l


    Translator: 549690339


    One day left until the college entrance exam!


    In the classroom, the usually stern head teacher, Chai Deyun, began to froth at the mouth, emphasizing to all the students the importance of the college test.


    ¡°According to statistics, the success rate of Foundation Establishment among students of the Cinnabarite Red Dawn Institution is 2%. In other words, only two out of a hundred people can successfully establish their foundation.¡±


    ¡°For students of the top ten colleges, the success rate of Foundation Establishment is 20%. Taking our class of 49 people as an example, if all of them are admitted to the top ten universities, then ten people will successfully establish their foundation. Isn¡¯t that an exceptional achievement!¡±


    ¡°And if you are admitted to the Four Great Daoist Academies, that¡¯s even more incredible. Although, the Foundation Establishment success rate for students from these four universities hit a new low last year, even at this new low, it stands at 75%!¡±


    ¡°The benefits of successful Foundation Establishment need not be mentioned by me, right? Not to mention the significant increase in lifespan, you can also apply for a Rank-2 Spirit Vein from the immortal sect, and even access more powerful spells and stronger cultivation techniques in the Immortal Sect¡¯s spell library and the national library.¡±


    ¡°After establishing your foundation, even if you want to become the principal of your alma mater, I guess the principal would be more than happy to give up his position to you.¡±


    While listening to Chai Deyun, Chen Mobai was playing with his phone.


    He was trying to snap up the ¡°Spirit Ascension Powder¡± that the Immortal Sect¡¯s official flagship store had released today. Although he knew in advance that it would be listed at 9:38 in the morning, he had been refreshing and waiting since half past eight.


    After all, there are not a few Gold Core cultivators in the Immortal Sect. Although they have long lost interest in Foundation Establishment treasures like this, what if their later generations need them?


    However, he was quite lucky. Perhaps due to his sincerity, the Immortal Sect was touched by him waiting for an hour before it listed. The moment the 10,000 shares of ¡°Spirit Ascension Powder¡± were listed, his quick order placement got him one.


    Yay!


    If he weren¡¯t in the classroom, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but want to jump for joy.


    ¡°What are you so happy about?¡±


    However, his expression caught the attention of the person sitting next to him. Lu Hongsheng, who had completely forgotten about the previous incident, asked softly.


    ¡°I was randomly scrolling through the Immortal Sect¡¯s website today and luckily came across a newly listed batch of ¡®Spirit Ascension Powder.¡¯ I was lucky enough to snag one.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hide anything, pretentiously showing Lu Hongsheng the unfinalized purchase on his phone screen.


    ¡°Your luck is unbelievable.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng¡¯s eyes widened, and he spoke with a hint of sourness.


    ¡°You actually got one!?¡±


    By this time, the head teacher on the stage had finished speaking, and it was time for a break. The two girls sitting in front of them who heard their conversation also turned around, looking incredulously at Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai shrugged, letting the students around him look at the order page on his phone.


    ¡°Wow!¡±


    Afterwards, everyone looked at Chen Mobai with envious eyes.


    One quick-thinking student took out his phone and started trying to snap up the product. It was like a chain reaction, everyone began logging onto the Immortal Sect¡¯s website, trying to grab the newly listed batch of Spirit Ascension Powder.


    ¡°Oh no, I was so close, I clearly saw there were three left in stock a moment ago!¡±


    The first girl who reacted hit the desk in annoyance.


    ¡°How could I be so stupid!¡±


    The first one who found out, Lu Hongsheng, wanted to bang his head against the wall. If he had tried to grab it right after Chen Mobai told him, maybe he could¡¯ve gotten one too.


    Whether he could afford it was another story, plenty of people would help him pay.


    The only person in the entire class who sat still, as unmovable as a mountain, was Song Zheng.


    He believed he could at least get into one of the top ten colleges. By then, he could get two items for the Foundation Establishment for free the first time. If he had enough Good Deed Points, he could also buy from the school to complete the Foundation Establishment treasures.


    So, Song Zheng had absolutely no interest in a trifling single piece of ¡°Spirit Ascension Powder.¡±


    The commotion also attracted the head teacher, who originally wanted to pack up his textbooks and leave. When he found out that Chen Mobai had gotten the ¡°Spirit Ascension Powder,¡± his face changed a bit. If his first opportunity to establish his foundation in the school hadn¡¯t been used up, he might have wanted to buy it from this student.


    However, some quick-witted students had already picked up their mobile phones and quickly spread the news.


    After all, there are many teachers at the Qi Cultivation stage in the school.


    Ding!


    Just before the second class, Chen Mobai suddenly received a text message.


    The sender was Chansi.


    [I have a Senior Sister who is preparing for Foundation Establishment. If you want to resell your ¡®Spirit Ascension Powder¡¯, you might want to consider me.]


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t expect the first person to approach him would be this teacher. He was originally intending to let the whole class know, after all, selling it to a school teacher is better than selling it to someone he doesn¡¯t know outside.


    Although the faculty of the Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect is mediocre, these teachers who have been hired to teach them are top choices in terms of character and cultivation. Selling to them means not having to worry about them defaulting on the payment.


    If it had been another teacher, Chen Mobai definitely would have held out for a better price.


    But since it was Chansi who had contacted him, after a little consideration, he replied with a [Sure].


    Luckily, Mr. Ding¡¯s term had already passed, and he didn¡¯t need the Foundation Establishment Treasures. Otherwise, if both these teachers needed to buy Spirit Ascension Powder, he wouldn¡¯t know who to give it to.


    After class, head teacher Chai Deyun called Chen Mobai to the office.


    He was introducing another teacher who wanted to purchase the ¡°Spirit Ascension Powder,¡± but Chen Mobai said that he had already promised Chansi. After hearing that, the former teacher left with regret.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, Mr. Chansi hasn¡¯t undergone Foundation Establishment yet, if he needs it, he can buy the complete Foundation Establishment Treasures from the Cinnabarite Institute.¡±


    As the other teacher left, Chai Deyun suddenly brought up this matter. Chen Mobai hesitated a moment before explaining that Chansi was buying it for a senior sister. Chai Deyun nodded in understanding after hearing this.


    Conveniently, Chansi was teaching a neighboring class that day and was also at the school. The two of them agreed to meet after the morning classes ended.


    ¡°The Foundation Establishment Treasures are usually marked up about 20% on the market. I¡¯ll transfer you 160,000 Good Deed Points. How does that sound?¡±


    In the office, Chen Mobai heard Chansi¡¯s words and nodded.


    Among the three treasures, the demand for ¡°Spirit Ascension Powder¡± is slightly lower. After all, compared to ¡°Vein Protection Pill¡± and ¡°Solidifying Qi Liquid,¡± there are plenty of pills and magic artifacts that could replace it. Even if he handed it to Wu Wan for resale, it might not even fetch this price.


    After Chen Mobai changed the delivery information on the order and handed it to Chansi to pay, the latter used his credit card to quickly transfer him 160,000 Good Deed Points.


    Looking at the new message about the bank balance on his phone, Chen Mobai¡¯s hands were shaking a little from never having had so many Good Deed Points before.


    He laughed at how unsophisticated he was, getting this excited over a mere 160,000 Good Deed Points.

    ¡°By the way, the college entrance exam is the day after tomorrow. How are your preparations going?¡±


    All of a sudden, Chansi asked about this. Chen Mobai replied with a self-effacing smile.


    ¡°I should have no problem at least participating in the entrance exam for the Four Great Daoist Academies and the top Ten Colleges.¡±


    ¡°Oh, congratulations. But this year¡¯s entrance examination is a bit special, I¡¯m afraid your chances of passing are slim.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±

 Chapter 66 - Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Past Years’ Real Exam

    Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Past Years¡¯ Real Exam


    Questions_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°I can¡¯t give specifics, but it¡¯ll be happening in a few days. The details of the enrollment exam will be announced after the high-school exam.¡±


    Chan Ssu was tight-lipped, so all Chen Mobai could do was restrain his curiosity and leave her office.


    Back in the school¡¯s cultivation room, Chen Mobai wasted no time.


    After practicing the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God technique¡± for a while and sensing his mind beginning to tire, he stopped and went online to search for information about the enrollment exams of the various academies over the last few years.


    Last year¡¯s entrance exam was arranged by representatives from each Daoist academy, forming nine interconnected formations, ranging from simple to complex. The qualification for admission to the four major Daoist academies was to solve seven formation problems.


    However, among all the students in Red Sandstone City, the best result was solving six formations. In the end, that student could only go to the Astral Observation Academy among the top ten academies.


    Chen Mobai frowned as soon as he saw this. He wasn¡¯t completely ignorant about formations. As he persisted in asking Chan Ssu for guidance over time, he had mastered the Azure Water Formation of the Rank-2 Water Mansion.


    Due to his knowledge, he felt he ranked in the top three in his class in terms of proficiency in formations.


    Thus, with confidence, he spent 10o points to download the real entrance test papers from the fairy¡¯s test bank for the most recent ten years.


    Nine interconnected formations, as intricate as pearls.


    The real test paper was named quite aptly, Chen Mobai thought to himself, then took out his stationary from his bag, ready to start solving the formation problems.


    Half an hour later, wiping cold sweat from his forehead, he slumped down and put down the paper and pen in his hand.


    He had barely cracked the first two formations. By the third formation, nearly half of the knowledge and formation patterns contained therein exceeded his understanding, surpassing the content in the compulsory education textbooks for grades one through nine.


    According to last year¡¯s results, cracking two formations would qualify one to choose to study at any of the 120 houses of Xianmen.


    In other words, this was as far as Chen Mobai could go.


    But Chen Mobai didn¡¯t admit this. He believed that the school taught too little about formations; he had no interest in formations and had not taken the time to delve into and expand upon his knowledge in this area.


    So he switched to another set of real questions from the year before.


    That year, the four major Daoist academies held separate exams. Jumang Daoist Academy tested a kind of spiritual medicine cultivation technique, requiring that this spiritual medicine be upgraded from Rank-1 to Rank-2 within a month.


    Chen Mobai, unfamiliar with the concept of spiritual worth, skipped this entirely.


    Dance Tool Dao Academy sent every eligible student a piece of iron essence weighing six liang (about 225 grams) and required them to refine it into a flying sword. The requirement was that the sword be of at least Rank-2.


    He skipped this as well.


    The entrance exam for the Repairing Heaven Institute was to repair a defective array plate¡­


    Why is it formations again, skip!


    Chen Mobai looked with last hope at the entrance exam question for the Kunpeng Daoist Academy: each student takes a piece of Rank-2 beryl wutong tree bark, inscribes talismans on it, collects essence of thunderfire, and if the talisman reaches Rank-2, they may enroll.


    He skipped with a blank face and opened up the day¡¯s entrance exam real questions from three years ago.


    That year, the format was even more diverse: they needed to form teams of ten to cooperate in cultivating a spirit vein, evolving a Rank-1 spirit vein into Rank-2. This process was recorded in its entirety. If the cultivation was successful, the academy representative would grade each member of the team on their leadership, cooperation, and skills.


    Still, everyone failed, with not a single person admitted into the four major Daoist academies.


    Three years ago, four years ago¡­


    After viewing the real exam questions from the past ten years, Chen Mobai was left in a daze.


    He couldn¡¯t solve a single year¡¯s entrance exam questions.


    However, Chen Mobai himself never had any hope of getting into the four major Daoist academies; his target has always been the top ten academies.


    More accurately, the Pure Yang Academy and the Primordial Elemental Academy.


    After all, the artificial spiritual root from the national library advised Chen Mobai to practice the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± and the ¡°Jade Purity Scripture¡± based on his spiritual root talent, giving him a slim chance of reaching the realm of the primordial spirit.


    Trust in the nation.


    Chen Mobai, who had comforted himself in this way, then looked at the real questions from when the Pure Yang Academy and the Primordial Elemental Academy had separate entrance exams among the top ten academies.


    After seeing this, he finally had a little confidence.


    At least compared to the entrance exams of the four major Daoist academies which basically required at least a Rank-2 realm knowledge, the top ten academies only required knowledge of Rank-1. Occasionally, if there were too many applicants in a certain year, the threshold would be raised to Rank-2.


    However, after looking through ten years of real questions, Chen Mobai had also figured out some patterns.


    If the four major Daoist academies and the top ten academies jointly held the entrance exam, it would typically be in the four major subjects, Technqiue, Pill, Instrument, and Array since these were the basics that could easily distinguish the students¡¯ levels of talent.


    If they held separate exams, all sorts of strange and varied content could arise.


    For example, the Pure Yang Academy emphasized mental state, the Primordial Elemental Academy valued background and powerful Divine Sense, the Five Thunder Academy would admit Thunder Spiritual Root for free, the Nature Studies Academy would admit Different Spiritual Root for free, and the Mountain Sea Academy would select potential Sword Cultivators¡­


    Chen Mobai set his first choice as the Pure Yang Academy, his second choice was the Primordial Elemental Academy, and his third choice was the local Red Dawn Institution.


    As for the four major Daoist academies, he didn¡¯t have much confidence after seeing the real questions from the past years.


    Checking the time and seeing he had a bit left, Chen Mobai started browsing various flagship stores on the Immortal Gate¡¯s website again.


    He had his eye on a lower-grade Rank-2 ¡°Mysterious Yang Purple Fire Talisman¡±. The Pure Yang Academy¡¯s official flagship store would be launching a hundred of them at 6:45 tonight.


    The price was 68,000 Good Deed Points.


    The timing was a bit awkward, normally at that time Chen Mobai would be in his Water Mansion, but he could understand the reason.


    In order to accommodate as many cultivators as possible and give everyone a chance, and limited by the finite resources on Earth Star, each time the Immortal Gate released pills, talismans, magic artifacts, and such, the time was uncertain.


    Which meant that every minute of the 1440 minutes in a day, all the flagship stores might launch good items.


    Even though you were guaranteed to get something good if you kept a constant watch, pills like the Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment that Qi practitioners loved most would only be stocked three times a month. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn¡¯t stay up all month, vigilantly watching the screen and waiting for items to be listed.


    This was the greatest fairness that the Immortal Gate could achieve under the circumstances of limited resources.


    Chen Mobai set an alarm for himself to remind him to grab the ¡°Mysterious Yang Purple Fire Talisman¡± made by the Pure Yang Academy in the evening.


    After leaving school, he decided not to cultivate today.


    The high school exam was in two days, and even if he did cultivate, his mind wouldn¡¯t calm down.

    He called Qing Nu and invited her for dinner in the evening.


    He had promised her before to treat her to grilled fish.


    After getting home, Chen Mobai made a trip to the Water Mansion and caught two descendants of the Azure Blood Carp. He didn¡¯t kill them, but directly handed them over to the helpful owner of the grilled fish restaurant.


    After eating, Qing Nu couldn¡¯t stop praising the food.


    She said she had never eaten such delicious fish in her life..

    On the day of the high school graduation exam.


    Chen Xinglan also specially rushed over from the Red Dawn Institution to cheer her son on.


    Compared to his parents, Chen Mobai looked relaxed, carrying his admission ticket and a pencil case, walking into the examination room with composure.


    Ever since he achieved Divine Sense, he has been reviewing the knowledge in the textbooks, and he has mastered it all within two months.


    Although it can¡¯t be said that he has completely grasped everything, he at least understood every single point of knowledge, and when encountering a related question, he could easily retrieve the corresponding content from his memory.


    On the first morning, the Technique paper.


    Chen Mobai kept filling in smoothly from beginning to end, only stumbling slightly at the very last question.


    This final comprehensive question exceeded the scope of high school knowledge, but Chen Mobai was prepared. He used the knowledge stored in his mind to deduce the omissions in this spell, completed it, and although he couldn¡¯t say it was the standard answer, he filled in every blank space.


    Among the students with worried looks, he calmly turned in his paper and left.


    In the afternoon were questions on Bane.


    Although he hadn¡¯t studied this area in-depth, his interactions with Qing Nu had taught him some extracurricular knowledge. After writing all the answers he knew on the paper, he didn¡¯t bother to exert himself further and stopped writing, waiting until the bell rang for the end of the exam.


    On the next morning was the Vessel paper.


    He had no idea about the final comprehensive question, so he had to fill it out to the best of his abilities.


    Lastly was the Formation paper.


    Chen Mobai smoothly completed the penultimate question, then tackled the final comprehensive question with a let¡¯s-see-what-happens attitude.


    After three different papers, he had deciphered the pattern: the last comprehensive question involved knowledge beyond the textbooks, which was designed to separate the high-grade papers.


    Each paper is scored out of too.


    According to previous years¡¯ cutoffs, generally, a score of 330 and above would allow one to apply to the top ten academies and take the entrance exams. As for entrance to the four Great Daoist Academies, last year¡¯s cutoff was 350 points.


    However, these scores fluctuate, depending on the number of candidates.


    At this point, Chen Mobai finished reading the final comprehensive question regarding formation and couldn¡¯t help but show a look of delight when he understood it.


    [10. Please provide at least two methods of repairing the incomplete Array Plate for the Overwhelming Sea Formation. Also, specify the effects of the five different Array Flags in the Overwhelming Sea Formation and arrange them in the order of the diagram in Example 1 to form the complete Formation. (This question is worth 20 points and no points will be deducted for incorrect answers.)]


    ¡°If I score over 90 points on this test, I¡¯m definitely treating Teacher Chan to a meal.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself, took out his ruler, and based on his understanding of the Azure Water Formation, he integrated it into the Overwhelming Sea Formation. First, he completed the design of the entire formation and then began answering the question according to the diagram.


    The rules of formation may change, but the principles remain the same. The Overwhelming Sea Formation, like the Azure Water Formation, is a Rank-2 formation rooted in the Water Vein.


    Chen Mobai reviewed the functions of the Azure Water Formation¡¯s Array Flags, then filled out their corresponding names in the Overwhelming Sea Formation diagram.


    Finally came the methods of repairing the Array Plate. Having directly repaired an Azure Water Array before and subsequently confirmed his findings online as well as consulted with Chan Si, he had stored several methods of repairing large formations in his mind.


    Chen Mobai was a forward-thinking person and in fear of encountering problems with the Azure Water Large Formation again, he had stored more than two formation repairing methods in his mind.


    Given the incomplete Array Plate of the Overwhelming Sea Formation in the question stem, Chen Mobai selected the two most suitable repair methods from his memory and filled them out satisfactorily.


    This Formation paper was the one that took him the longest and required the most effort. He only finished just before the bell rang five minutes before the end of the paper.


    Finally, he used his Divine Sense to review it once, then put down his pen with relief.


    ¡°Phew! I should have scored about 15 points.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai had confidence in the final comprehensive question of this Formation paper, in the end, the Azure Water Formation was a formation from the Tianhe Realm. Even though Chan Si had helped him understand it with Earth Origin Star¡¯s knowledge, it still differed from the Overwhelming Sea Formation.


    If he could score 15 out of 20 points, he would be very satisfied.


    For the four papers, there were 320 points for knowledge from the textbooks, of which he was confident of scoring full marks. Aside from the final comprehensive question on the Vessel Paper which he had no idea about and could only fill in to the best of his abilities, he believed he should be able to score some points for the small questions on the Technique Paper and Elixir Paper.


    If he performed well, he might just scrape 350 points, qualifying for the entrance exams to the four Great Daoist Academies.


    For cultivators who have achieved Divine Sense, the moment they finish the exam, they can estimate their scores with a high degree of accuracy.


    Chen Mobai was no exception.


    However, he did not check his answers, wanting to leave himself with some hope to keep his mood up during the vacation.


    ¡°Freedom at last!¡±


    ¡°Finally, it¡¯s over!¡±


    ¡°Damn that Overwhelming Sea Formation¡­¡±


    After the high school graduation exam ended, all the various faces of the students in the Immortal Gate High School N0.5 were revealed. Chen Mobai leaned against a pillar in the corridor, watching the emotional rollercoaster of his classmates laughing, cursing, or shouting in victory, and suddenly felt out of place.


    After achieving Divine Sense, these emotional ups and downs had become food for his Divine Sense, leaving him constantly calm but also gradually losing the normal joys and sorrows of a common person.


    Is this what it means to practice Immortal Cultivation?


    Suddenly, Chen Mobai understood why the higher the level of cultivation achieved, the lesser the person liked to interact within society.


    But he had the feeling that this was not right.


    If cultivating to become an Immortal resulted in losing what it means to be human, then what¡¯s the point of becoming an Immortal?


    Or is it that Immortals are supposed to leave behind worldly desires and materialistic pleasures?


    As he pondered, a gaze fell on him. Chen Mobai looked up and saw Song Zheng.


    They nodded at each other and then left the bustling classroom together, heading for the playing field outside.


    ¡°You just achieved Divine Sense, so it¡¯s normal if you¡¯re not used to it. Yan Bingxuan and I decided to pretend to be aloof and limit our interaction with you to avoid this issue.¡±


    Song Zheng spoke, indicating that it wasn¡¯t just Chen Mobai¡ªthey had felt the same.


    ¡°Is Cultivation all about retreating from society in the end?¡±


    ¡°My teacher said that most Cultivators in the Immortal Gate cultivate amidst the mundane world. Those who wish to become Hermits usually end up dying alone.¡±


    Upon hearing Song Zheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Considering the scarcity of resources and the Spirit Veins wholly held by the Immortal Gate, if someone truly wished to retreat to a mountaintop, the lack of Spiritual Energy supply might genuinely lead to such a fate.


    ¡°Which one of the top ten academies do you choose?¡±


    Song Zheng asked again.


    ¡°Oh, so you have that much faith in me?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked surprised. He wasn¡¯t very familiar with Song Zheng.


    ¡°Our teacher said you often ask him questions about Spells. If you wish, we can call each other brothers. If we can go to the same academy in the future, it would be better, so we can look out for each other.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t your goal one of the four Great Daoist Academies?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I only managed to answer the last question on the Technique Paper, so my points might not reach 350.¡±


    As he spoke, the always proud Song Zheng suddenly sighed and showed a solemn expression that Chen Mobai had never seen before.


    ¡°I should probably choose between the Pure Yang Academy and the Primordial Elemental Academy. I just don¡¯t know if they¡¯ll accept me.¡±


    Chen Mobai also spoke up. Even though he and Song Zheng were not close, old man Ding had treated him very well.


    ¡°My three choices of preference are: Primordial Elemental Academy, Nature Studies Academy, and Heavenly Book Academy. I hope we can go to the Primordial Elemental Academy together..¡±

 Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Magic Duel l

    Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Magic Duel l


    Translator: 549690339


    When Chen Mobai and Song Zheng returned, the entire class was looking at them in astonishment.


    Song Zheng¡¯s arrogance was well-known in the class. Previously, when Yan Bingxuan was still there, the two would often compete against each other. After Yan Bingxuan dropped out, Song Zheng had become a solitary figure of pride, hardly interacting with anyone else in the class.


    ¡°Well then, now that you two are here, please have your seats.¡±


    On the podium, the class teacher Chai Deyun, upon seeing Chen Mobai and Song Zheng, signaled for them to return to their seats.


    ¡°I have both good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?¡±


    Chai Deyun, usually quite serious, displayed a rare hint of humor, perhaps due to the impending departure of the students he had taught.


    ¡°Good news!!¡±


    The students chorused.


    ¡°This year, the top ten schools are expanding their enrolment, potentially lowering their admission thresholds. Those at Qi Cultivation Level Six, if they are lucky, may even be admitted.¡±


    As soon as Chai Deyun announced this, half the class erupted in cheers, but Lu Hongsheng, sitting next to Chen Mobai, deflated. He was only at Qi Cultivation Level Five. No matter how much the top ten schools expanded their enrollment, it had nothing to do with him.


    ¡°Having shared the good news, it¡¯s now time for the bad news.¡±


    Chai Deyun continued speaking. Everyone in the class looked up at him. He cleared his throat.


    ¡°The admission test content of the Four Great Daoist Academies and the Ten Schools were sent to all high schools two days ago. For students who are devoted to cultivation, it may pose some challenges. We didn¡¯t tell you earlier for fear it would affect your mindset for regular school exams. Now is a good time to inform you.¡±


    Hearing this, most of the students¡¯ hearts shot up in their chests, including Chen Mobai and Song Zheng.


    ¡°The theme is two words: Magic Duel!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s about testing your Spell mastery. Each student will only rely on Spells in combat, without using any Magic Artifacts, elixirs, or Formations. The students who manage to go far in the competition will be scored by representatives from the Four Great Daoist Academies and Ten Schools.¡±


    ¡°However, the detailed order of the competition and rules will be announced after the cutoff scores are released, and after the Cinnabarite Institute arranges their venue. Possible candidates for the Four Great Daoist Academies and Ten Schools will be divided and put into Magic Duels according to their cutoff score.¡±


    After Chai Deyun finished speaking, everyone was stunned.


    Magic Duel!?


    It seemed like it had been nearly a hundred years since there was such a bare-bones admission test. Were they aiming to select students with exceptional combat talents?


    ¡°Is there a major war brewing?¡±


    Song Zheng mumbled to himself, but his eyes quickly lit up. He found his Element in Spells under the guidance of Ding Jinglue. Even Yan Bingxuan had been defeated by him.


    If the test was really about Magic Duel, his chances of getting into the school he had his heart set on were practically certain.


    If his score is high enough, gaining admission to one of the Four Great Daoist Academies might not be a far-fetched idea.


    ¡°Teacher, may we use talismans during the Magic Duel?¡±


    Chen Mobai abruptly raised his hand and asked a question.


    ¡°Theoretically, talismans are solidified Spells and are within the scope of a Magic Duel. However, if talismans can be used, it would be too advantageous for students from wealthy families with long legacies. I believe they will be banned from use. Still, we¡¯ll have to wait for the official announcement from the Cinnabarite Institute.¡±


    Answering Chen Mobai¡¯s question, Chai Deyun hesitated before replying. His answer lined up with what Chen Mobai had been thinking.


    In the world of Cultivators, talismans were classified under techniques. However, since they only required a minimal amount of Spiritual Power to activate and didn¡¯t need preparation time, unrestricted use of them would obviously be a guaranteed pass for the rich kids.


    Next, Chai Deyun answered a few more questions from the students, then gazed sorrowfully at the 49 familiar faces below.


    ¡°Although I would really like to go on this journey with you all, every journey must eventually come to an end. From here on, it¡¯s your path to walk.¡±


    Having said this, Chai Deyun declared the end of class for the last time.


    Afterward, he forced down the wave of regret welling up in his heart and turned toward the door to exit.


    ¡°Everybody up!¡±


    At the class monitor¡¯s command, all the students rose to their feet and gave a deep bow to this class teacher who had been with them for three years.


    Chai Deyun paused in his steps for a moment but then quickly strode out of the classroom. He didn¡¯t want his emotional departure to rub off on his students.


    Chen Mobai felt a strong wave of emotion welling up in the sea of his heart. After closing his eyes and concentrating, he found that his Divine Sense had increased by a tenth. He was beginning to understand why his spirit might ascend following a profound realization.


    Each strong emotion pushes them to grow.


    No wonder Immortal Cultivation protagonists in TV dramas always go through Refining Heart in the Mundane World when they¡¯re stuck at a bottleneck in their cultivation, regardless of their gender. Indeed, this is a way to make a breakthrough. However, it¡¯s also possible to lose yourself completely, leading to a shattered state of mind.


    ¡°Shall we all have a farewell dinner in two days?¡±


    At this point, class monitor Mo Simin stood up and shouted towards the class. The majority cheered in agreement, and a minority of introverts hesitated, though they remained silent.


    ¡°Old Chen, let¡¯s attend together. We¡¯re about to part ways, and who knows when we¡¯ll meet again.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng, a sociable person, came over when he saw Chen Mobai unresponsive. He then began persuading him.


    The two beauties Pu Jiangxue and Yu Shu from the neighboring desks also came over to persuade him.


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment before finally agreeing.


    While on the other side, Song Zheng promptly declined. He wanted to seize this time to practice a powerful Spell.


    After all, his determination is stronger than mine.


    Chen Mobai watched Song Zheng get up and leave without hesitation and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head and smile bitterly.


    It¡¯s not that he lacked emotional intelligence, but being someone with high EQ often meant compromising one¡¯s own feelings to accommodate others. Therefore, he usually expressed himself directly and honestly, like first time he and Qing Nu went out for grilled fish.


    Cultivators seek a clear and open mind to remove the source of their Heart Demons.


    If they were to build up a host of upset feelings in their hearts, it would undoubtedly cause them to stumble or even shatter their state of mind when the time comes for a breakthrough.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave now. Once you all decide, just notify me of the time and place.¡±


    Chen Mobai notified Lu Hongsheng before getting up to leave. Lu Hongsheng was left speechless, his mouth hung open, wanting to say something. Somehow, recalling the scene of Song Zheng and himself walking into the classroom together earlier, he had a rough understanding of what was happening. Eventually, he quietly nodded.


    After returning home, Chen Mobai started researching information about Magic Duels in the Immortal School entrance examination.


    Sixty-nine years ago, there was a Magic Duel in the entrance examination for Wangwu Cave Sky School.


    The winner at that time was a student from a military family.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After all, a Magic Duel is, in laymen¡¯s terms, a fight.


    And who could fight better than a soldier? Even though there hadn¡¯t been any life-or-death battles for the Cultivators in the military in the last hundred years, the spirit of valor and combat had always been upheld. Being in genuine fights every day, of course, they would be skilled in Magic Duels.


    Chen Mobai eventually found a news interview with the winner.


    [¡°If you want to be good at Magic Duels, real combat experience is the most important. Three years of Spell practice does not compare to three months of intensive military training. You all only see my victory, but not the numerous scars that I¡¯ve healed and accumulated since childhood through my rigorous training.¡±]


    The name of the winner was one that Chen Mobai surprisingly recognized, Lan Haitian..

 Chapter 69 - Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Cold Ice Technique__l

    Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Cold Ice Technique__l


    Translator: 549690339


    Magic Duel.


    Chen Mobai was pondering on how to improve in this area. For now, he would not consider the use of talismans. All the major Daoist academies and institutions within the Immortal Sect wouldn¡¯t favor the children of wealthy families. Even if they could use talismans, restrictions would certainly be placed.


    So, firstly, he had to cultivate some spells suitable for combat.


    Thinking of this, he opened his personal panel.


    [Name: Chen Mobai]


    [Age: 18]


    [Realm: Qi Cultivation Seventh Level]


    [Spiritual Roots: Gold 23, Wood 27, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10]


    [Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Cultivation]


    [Skills: Propulsion Technique, Cleaning Technique, Spiritual Force Shield, Qi Nourishing Technique, Water Controlling Technique, Water Elemental Shield]


    The only ones suitable for combat are ¡°Spiritual Force Shield¡±, ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡±, and ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡±.


    Among them, ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡± requires the refinement of a spiritual water named ¡°Dark Water¡±. The method of refinement is recorded in the notes that Liu Yanpei left behind, which involve the use of the ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡±. However, Chen Mobai was distressed.


    Based on the records in the Blackwater Cultivation notes, the refinement of Dark Water requires finding a spiritual spring that has been stained by the Water Pulse Spirit Qi for a long time, then refining its essence with the Water Controlling Technique. Further processing is then done with a spirit stone and six types of medicinal plants from the Tianhe Realm. The quickest refinement process takes a month.


    About 20 days after the university entrance exam, the scores can be checked, along with the preparation work for registration and group assignments based on grading lines. Chen Mobai figured he would just have enough time to prepare for a month.


    However, even if he had good fortune and the refinement was successful within one try, he did not plan to waste a precious month on refining Dark


    Water.


    At the very least, he needed to practice a powerful offensive spell. After all, the spells he currently knew, be it the Spiritual Force Shield or the Water Elemental Shield, were all for defense purposes. The Water Controlling


    Technique was inclined more towards auxiliary usage.


    Perhaps due to the extended peace in the Immortal Sect, Chen Mobai never felt the need to cultivate destructive spells.


    Even if combat was needed, he could substitute it with talismans. Little did he know, the entrance exam of this year¡¯s Daoist Academy would adopt such a crude and simple method of a ¡°Magic Duel¡±.


    His current situation compelled Chen Mobai to cultivate an offensive spell. Immediately, he opened the ¡°Immortal Sect Spell Library¡± software. He wanted to find a spell that was suitable for himself, could be quickly mastered, had notable power, and preferably would fit with his current skill set.


    However, he was merely a Qi practitioner and didn¡¯t have the authority to let the ¡°Immortal Sect Spell Library¡± ¡®s artificial spirit make such a precise judgment for him.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai regretted not becoming a proxy for the ¡°Immortal Sect Spell Library¡± when he broke through to the seventh level of Qi cultivation.


    But it was too late for regrets now. All he could do was to look for the software that aids in cultivation.


    Searching for the strongest spell that a Five Elements Cultivation practitioner can cultivate, what would it be?


    The results were plentiful. However, most of them were Rank-2 spells and above he couldn¡¯t practice. Some of the Five Elements Cultivation practitioners shared the spell systems they had built from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment.


    But upon looking into it, Chen Mobai was utterly disappointed.


    Most of them did not particularly focus on combat. Many of them were for the ease of cultivation. While there were a small portion of combat spells, none of them could be mastered within a short month.


    And to create a balanced system of offense and defense, at least two or more spells would have to be cultivated, which would leave him no time.


    After looking around online, Chen Mobai was compelled to return to Blackwater Cultivation.


    The spells recorded in this Qi Cultivation method from the Tianhe Realm, started from ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡± to ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡±, then to ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±, are sequentially progressive, forming a complete system. After the ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±, there was the ¡°Ren Water Thunder Method¡± that Liu Yanpei had left in his notes.


    However, Chen Mobai had absolutely no ideas about this method of water and thunder. He only hoped that he could master the ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡± within one month.


    According to Liu Yanpei¡¯s notes, the ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡± also requires water to cast. If ¡°Dark Water¡± is used, its power would double.


    Dark Water, again!


    When Chen Mobai thought of these two words, he felt a toothache.


    But he soon thought of a good solution ¨C to get Dark Water without refining it himself.


    When Chen Mobai previously sold the Blackwater Cultivation to Old Man He, he clearly remembered Qi Er mentioning that he was practicing this technique. Also, being at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, Qi Er must have also mastered the Water Elemental Shield.


    Based on this inference, given the unique social environment of the Tianhe Realm, He Qun would undoubtedly do everything she could to augment her combat abilities. Perhaps, she had already refined Dark Water.


    Thought breeds action.


    Chen Mobai immediately left the Water Mansion and rushed to Southstream Market, hoping to rely on his luck to make a purchase.


    ¡°You want to buy Dark Water?¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, He Qun, the stall vendor selling cultivation techniques, was stunned. He then shook his head and declined.


    ¡°You¡¯re right. I did refine a few bottles of Dark Water myself, but they are my most valuable assets. I don¡¯t even have enough for myself, let alone sell them


    to you.¡±


    Chen Mobai persistently pleaded, but Old Man He was annoyed and directly proposed twenty spirit stones per bottle as an outrageous price to dissuade him.


    ¡°Kid, don¡¯t blame me for being heartless, the refinement of Dark Water is just too difficult.¡±


    ¡°To gather six medicine plants for refining, I need to hire an alchemist. Old Man Liu¡¯s alchemy skills aren¡¯t so refined; three out of every four attempts result in failure, and he still charges me one spirit stone for each attempt.¡± ¡°Altogether, the production cost of one bottle of Dark Water rounds up to about five spirit stones. And as you know, the power of the Cold Ice Technique practiced in the Blackwater Cultivation is doubled when backed by Dark Water. Recently, I planned to hunt Cold Snakes in Yun Meng Ze. Once successful, I will fear no one in the same realm.¡±


    Having recognized Chen Mobai, He Qun knew that he had a lot of powerful talismans and didn¡¯t want to refuse him completely. After quoting an outrageous price, he started explaining.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai became even more depressed. If he hadn¡¯t sold the Cold Ice Technique to Old Man He, the latter probably wouldn¡¯t have valued Dark Water so much.


    It can only be said that every sip and every bite is ordained by heaven.


    ¡°Oh, the Cold Snakes in Yun Meng Ze, can they help in mastering the Cold Ice Technique?¡±


    However, Chen Mobai immediately noticed another piece of information in Old Man He¡¯s words and asked urgently.


    ¡°Yes, the gallbladder of the Cold Snakes contains a unique Cold Ice True Intent. They possess the ability to freeze water and spit out arrows. After consuming a few, practitioners of Blackwater Cultivation can basically comprehend the Ice Breath and subsequently master the Cold Ice Technique.

    ¡°Is Yun Meng Ze dangerous?¡±


    ¡°It can be dangerous, but also safe, depending on which area you go to and whether you go alone or in a team.¡±


    ¡°Does it help in improving a cultivator¡¯s combat abilities?


    This was the question that Chen Mobai cared about the most.


    After reading the interview article about Lan Haitian¡¯s victory in the magic duel and his admission to Kunpeng Daoist Institute, he knew that real combat was the best way to train. There were no real combat conditions on Planet Di Yuan, while in Tianhe Realm, it was everywhere. Also, knowing the shortcut to mastering the Cold Ice Technique, it felt like heaven was encouraging him to make a move..

    Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Five Elements Sect Shop 1


    Translator: 549690339 I         ¡ª


    He Qun nodded in agreement after listening.


    ¡°Of course, if you want to gain something in Yun Meng Ze, you generally need to battle with demonic beasts.¡±


    The deeper you go, the stronger the demonic beasts. Correspondingly, the rewards you get after victory become greater. Beasts of Rank-2 and above have their inner cores, which are necessary for alchemy. Every major sect would purchase them at a high price.¡±


    ¡°Many lone cultivators, if they want to exchange for Foundation Building Pills from major sect trade associations, can only risk their lives to delve deeper and hunt beasts of Rank-3 and above for their inner cores.¡±


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback.


    He hadn¡¯t thought that alchemy in the Tianhe Realm would utilize demonic beasts¡¯ inner cores. This was completely different from how it was done in Di Yuan star.


    However, thinking about it more in-depth, it was understandable. On Di Yuan star, high-rank beasts were rare. Most of them were on the verge of extinction and were listed as protected spirit beasts by the fairy sects. Mention not killing them for their inner cores. Even hurting one would make big news.¡±


    It seemed that the alchemy method in the Tianhe Realm had its merits if it was up to par in terms of dan poison control.¡±


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai asked how to get to Yun Meng Ze.


    ¡ö¡öI am planning to form a team to hunt Cold Snakes, and you¡¯re welcome to join if you follow commands.¡±


    He Qun had some knowledge about Chen Mobai. He knew that he was at least at the Qi Cultivation level of six, and he had many powerful talismans. If his team could recruit Chen Mobai, it would be a big help.¡±


    ¡°When will fellow cultivator depart?¡±


    Chen Mobai was tempted but decided to remain cautious instead of accepting the offer outright.


    ¡°Three days from now. With you included, there will be seven people. After hunting the Cold Snake, the spoils will be divided equally. However, the snake gall must be handed to me. If there¡¯s any difference in value, it can be compensated with Spirit Stones.¡±


    ¡°I will consider it and give fellow cultivator my reply tomorrow.¡±


    Having said that, Chen Mobai left He Qun¡¯s stall.


    Afterward, he first asked Qi Er about He Qun¡¯s reputation in the Southstream Market and found it to be quite good. Cultivators who went out with him were generally able to return safely. Only occasionally would someone perish. However, given the treacherous nature of Yun Meng Ze, his team had an impressively high survival rate.


    Chen Mobai was relieved. At this point, one of his stall neighbors returned. It was Lu Shu. Chen Mobai curiously asked him for his opinion.


    You re referring to old man He? He is somewhat suspicious.¡±


    ¡°Oh? How so?¡±


    Immediately, Chen Mobai widened his eyes and leaned in closer to Lu Shu. ¡°His team has too high a survival rate. Although I just operate at the border market of Yun Meng Ze, I know that every team that enters typically suffers a 100/0 to 20% casualty rate. However, his team can generally return completely intact, which I find very peculiar.¡±


    After Lu Shu¡¯s statement, Chen Mobai started to ponder the reasons behind it. There were only two explanations if almost everyone in the team could return safely.


    First, they did not go beyond their capabilities; second, the overall cultivation level of the team was high, their preparations were adequate, and the team coordinated well to handle various emergencies.


    After hearing his analysis, Lu Shu shook his head, presenting a chilling possibility.


    ¡°Perhaps this team was purposely created to establish a good reputation to attract outsiders to join.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was reminded of the time when he first entered the Water Mansion. An old man and a young man who were supposed to cooperate attacked each other when it came to distribution of the spoils. He shuddered at the recollection.


    No, he needed to be more cautious.


    After thanking Lu Shu, the latter proceeded to inform him about various things to be aware of when going to Yun Meng Ze. He also gave Chen Mobai a small biography.


    ¡°Record of the Descent of the Dragon in Yunmeng River by True Monarch Yi Yuan¡±


    This palm-sized book was a tale of a legend in the Cultivation world that Lu Shu used to pass the time while peddling. Having finished it, he casually gave it to Chen Mobai, who thanked him before pocketing the book.


    By the way, Brother Lu, do you know of anyone else in the Fang Market who practices the ¡®Blackwater Cultivation1 technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked another critical question.


    In this Eastern Wasteland, where people value courage and aggressiveness, cultivators generally need to practice a fair number of techniques for self-protection. If anyone has practiced the ¡®Blackwater Cultivation¡¯ to the later stages of Qi Cultivation, they should have refined some Dark Water within them.


    There are many since the Cultivation Technique originates from the Five Elements Sect of the Water Vein. It¡¯s complete and orderly system. However, lone cultivators who practice this technique would undoubtedly have to join the Five Elements Sect if they wish to establish their foundation. It is a way for these dominant sects of the Eastern Wilderness to control the lone cultivators.¡± This Dark Water you speak of, I do have an impression. I have seen cultivators of the Five Elements Sect use it in Yun Meng Ze. However, I am unsure about whether it can be traded.¡±


    ¡°Right, aren¡¯t there stores opened by the Five Elements Sect in the market? You can ask them.¡±


    Lu Shu¡¯s words reminded Chen Mobai, and he hurriedly excused himself and headed towards the large shops in the market main street with enthusiasm.


    The Five Elements Sect is one of the powers that rule over Southstream Market. They own five shops here, each selling Spirit Stone Gold, Medicinal Pills and Spirit Grass, Talismans, Magic Artifacts, Formations. They have vast resources and robust strength.


    Chen Mobai went to the shop that sold Medicinal Pills and Spirit Grass.


    ¡°Dear customer, regarding the Dark Water you mentioned, indeed our sect does have it available for exchange. However, our shop doesn¡¯t have it in stock, I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    The Shopkeeper of the Medicinal Pill and Spirit Grass store was a middle-aged man at the Qi Cultivation level of six. He was not arrogant like the people from the major sects. After listening to Chen Mobai, he looked apologetic.


    ¡°Shopkeeper, could you bring in stocks from your sect¡¯s headquarters?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, only to be met with the shopkeeper¡¯s shake of the head.


    ¡°Customer, we don¡¯t have the authority to call for stocks. Everything sold in the market is surplus from our sect¡¯s stores, which is then passed to us to handle. This Dark Water is generally only used by people from the Water Vein, and any surplus will only be taken to the market in Yun Meng Ze.¡±


    After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Chen Mobai understood that he needed to go to Yun Meng Ze regardless.


    However, he definitely could not join He Qun¡¯s team.


    Before leaving, he asked the Five Elements Sect about the price of this Dark Water. It was not cheap, priced at 10 Spirit Stones a bottle. This was the internal price. If it were sold in the market outside the Sect, it would cost at least 15 Spirit Stones.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Thank you, Shopkeeper.¡±


    After obtaining the information he wanted, Chen Mobai found He Qun at his stall and told him he changed his mind about joining his team to hunt Cold Snakes in Yun Meng Ze due to a sudden matter. Upon hearing this, He Qun frowned but said nothing.


    Chen Mobai did not mind his reaction. Following Lu Shu¡¯s instructions, he found a caravanning team in the Market that offered rides on Spirit Camels.


    There were three ways to reach Yun Meng Ze.


    The first is to walk; the second is to join one of these caravanning teams; the third is to pay Spirit Stones to use a Teleportation Array, which costs 10 Spirit Stones per use..

 Chapter 71 - Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Teleportation Array_l

    Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Teleportation Array_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Walking there by himself would be a waste of time, and Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know the way.


    He was curious to experience the Teleportation Array, but the cost of ten Spirit Stones was simply too high.


    So, he was left with the option of joining a caravan, which would only cost one Spirit Stone, albeit taking five days on the road.


    Southstream Market was managed by four prominent Cultivator families: the Liu family, the Wu family, the Lou family, and finally, the Luo family that tamed the Spirit Camels.


    It was possible for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to fly for long periods, but those were the pillars of their families ¨C it would be too demeaning for them to transport goods.


    Hence, Spirit Camels were raised, which could grow up to Rank-2, having great endurance, capable of travelling a hundred miles a day, carrying a load of a thousand pounds, and running for seven days and nights without rest.


    Leveraging this skill, the Luo family had the majority of the logistics business in Southstream Market.


    Due to the unique environment of Yun Meng Ze, Spirit Rice could not be cultivated there, so goods had to be brought in from the major markets in the surrounding Yun Country regularly.


    In addition to their own Spirit Rice, the Luo family also transported the Liu family¡¯s Spirit Fish, the Wu family¡¯s Spirit Wood, and the Lou family¡¯s Spiritual Medicine. They charged for transporting people to Yun Meng Ze as well.


    After paying a deposit, Chen Mobai received a ticket.


    Checking the time on it, he noticed it was for three days after.


    Could it be that He Qun was also travelling with this caravan?


    To be sure, Chen Mobai inquired with the receptionist, who remembered He Qun as he had purchased tickets for six people in one go, qualifying him as a major customer.


    Upon confirming that He Qun was on the same trip as him, Chen Mobai frowned and decided, for safety¡¯s sake, to cancel his ticket, earning a glare from the Luo family member.


    But it was one Spirit Stone and Chen Mobai was not planning to join the caravan anymore, so he definitely wanted it back.


    After retrieving his deposit, he stopped wasting time as there was only one month left until the entrance examination at the Daoist Academy. He had to master the Cold Ice Technique within this month.


    After begrudgingly paying ten Spirit Stones and waiting for nearly an hour to gather a group of ten people, he stepped into the teleportation array located within the market.


    This was a small Teleportation Array set up by the Five Elements Sect. However, it was taken over by the Divine Wood Sect during an internal strife fifty years ago. After several conflicts, the two factions finally reached a compromise.


    While the Teleportation Array was formally owned by the Five Elements Sect, half of the income from each teleport was shared with the Divine Wood Sect.


    Chen Mobai reluctantly paid ten Spirit Stones, waited nearly an hour until a group of ten people were ready.


    As silver light flashed, he noticed something strange.


    The teleportation felt similar to when Turtle Treasure had transferred him from Earth to Tianhe Realm.


    Could it be?


    Was Turtle Treasure a mobile Teleportation Array?


    As soon as Chen Mobai felt he had discovered something crucial, his eyes brightened, and they had arrived at the market of Yun Meng Ze.


    ¡°We have arrived.¡±


    The person in charge counted the numbers, finding that all ten were present, and marked a check on a list.


    Chen Mobai stepped out of the Teleportation Array along with most of the group and found himself on an island.


    Surrounding the island was a vast body of water, filled with abundant mist.


    He took a breath and felt the surrounding Spiritual Energy was at least intermediate grade Rank-1. He couldn¡¯t help but nod in approval.


    Walking around the island, he noticed that the size of this market was comparable to the Southstream Market. However, he had been prepared for this.


    Lu Shu had told him that due to the many islands and large lakes of Yun Meng Ze, there were many markets spread across various islands. These markets collectively were referred to as the Yun Meng Ze Market.


    The island they teleported to was just one of the footholds in this area for Yun Country¡¯s Cultivators.


    The deeper one ventured, the more prosperous the markets became.


    The heart of Yun Meng Ze was the main base of the Water Vein of the Five Elements Sect ¨C Wind Rain Retreat.


    However, this was also where the most intense battles occurred. If not for the suppression of the seven factions, the Rank-3 Demonic beasts would have long broken out and ravaged the Eastern Wilderness.


    Not planning to linger, and following Lu Shu¡¯s instruction, Chen Mobai found a ship branded with the Liu family¡¯s symbol at the dock to head to the largest nearby island and Green Light Island Market managed by the Divine Wood Sect.


    Rows of neatly organized wooden houses stood on top ofSpirit Fields on the island.


    This was one of the stopover places for the cultivators in Yun Meng Ze, where the Divine Wood Sect offered protection. Moreover, the island was a blessed land with a Rank-2 high-grade Spirit Vein providing a good place to rest and train.


    After asking for the price, Chen Mobai found that places with abundant spiritual energy costed as much as ten Spirit Stones a month. Being financially constrained, he could only rent a cave dwelling in the area with the least spiritual energy. The person in charge was not bothered. After cheerfully collecting one Spirit Stone, he led Chen Mobai to the lowest and most depressed part of the island.


    ¡°Fellow Daoist, this place only gets flooded when it rains. The spiritual energy here is decent enough,¡± he instructed.


    Chen Mobai sensed the spiritual energy around him and found it to be at upper-grade Rank-1, which was slightly comforting.


    After the person in charge left, he activated the Formation of the cave dwelling, and a green light appeared on a stone at the entrance, indicating that the dwelling was occupied and protected by the Divine Wood Sect.


    The dwelling was a single-story wooden house with a bed, a table, and three stools. It was indeed quite simple.


    He ventured out and noticed that about half of the dwellings here were occupied. Just that dwellings around him were unoccupied due to the unfavorable location.


    But that was better for him; he preferred tranquility.


    After tidying up with the Cleaning Technique, Chen Mobai left to explore the market on Green Light Island.


    Due to heavy footfall, there were more items available here compared to Southstream Market.


    The prices, however, were higher.


    Chen Mobai inquired about Dark Water and hit the jackpot when he found it being sold in the Spiritual Medicine shop operated by Divine Wood Sect. However, it was priced at fifteen Spirit Stones, which he could not afford.


    It seemed that before refining his magic duel skills, he had to earn money first.


    He had to return to his old trade.


    Setting up a stall.


    Things were different here. There was no need to pay a vendor fee to the Divine Wood Sect; he just had to stake a claim on an available spot.


    Chen Mobai placed the mat he brought from Southstream Market in a corner and displayed a stack of talismans on it.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At first, he feared the situation would be similar to Southstream Market where people wouldn¡¯t recognize the quality of the talismans. However, he soon discovered that the cultivators here were different.


    As they frequently battled with demonic beasts, talismans were in high demand. Almost every cultivator could distinguish the quality of talismans.


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s talismans were of excellent quality, it didn¡¯t take long for him to sell half the low-rank talismans he brought from the Wood Spiritual Talisman store, while all the mid-rank talisman were sold off.


    Even the only Rank-1 high-rank Resurrection Talisman was bought by a Rank-9 Qi Cultivator in exchange for three Spirit Stones.


    With thirteen Spirit Stones and two ten-thousand-coin Gold Tickets in hand, he immediately went to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spiritual Medicine store and purchased a purified vial of ¡°Dark Water¡±..

 Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Dark Water System_l

    Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Dark Water System_l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Inside the wooden house.


    Chen Mobai looked at the Blackwater on the table that he bought with all his savings, and he couldn¡¯t help but be filled with many thoughts.


    If it wasn¡¯t for an urgent need, he would never have spent so much Spirit Stone.


    He hoped the effect would satisfy him.


    He opened the bottle. A refreshing mist rose up. Looking inside, although it was called ¡°Blackwater,¡± it was very clear and had a faint medicinal fragrance. The Divine Wood Sect, after all, was a malor sect in the Eastern Wilderness, so the quality of what they sold was guaranteed.


    Chen Mobai used the ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡± and the Blackwater in the bottle started to turn into a thin thread, like a string of necklaces falling into the palm of his hand.


    After a conversation with Lu Shu, he understood the origin of the Blackwater Cultivation. It¡¯s one of the seven Qi Cultivation techniques of the five-element Water Vein, that can be cultivated up to the Golden Core Realm. Although it¡¯s not the most powerful technique in the Water Vein, it is one of the most famous Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The core of this technique lies in the refinement of the ¡°Blackwater¡±. The subsequent advancement of spells, and even the refinement of the Magic Artifact, is all about the continuous advancement of this ¡°Blackwater¡±.


    Chen Mobai naturally had no intention of changing his cultivation to this technique, but he found the construction of its spell system quite interesting.


    In the Tianhe Realm, due to the collapse of rituals and chaotic order, cultivators often engage in magic duels. So, the most important aspect of their cultivation techniques lies in the breakthrough of realms and the construction of a system for all techniques and magic artifacts that can enhance combat capabilities.


    This Blackwater Cultivation is a typical Tianhe Realm technique. It uses ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡± as a basis, followed by the core ¡°Blackwater¡±. Once Blackwater is refined, there is the defensive ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡±, followed by the offensive ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±, and finally, the Rank-3 ¡°Ren Water Thunder Method¡±.


    All spells are based on this Blackwater.


    Chen Mobai began to use the ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡±. The Blackwater in his palm scattered and floated up to the middle of the room according to his will, forming a water wall as thin as a cicada¡¯s wings.


    Compared with the basic spell of the Immortal Sect, the Spiritual Force Shield, this Water Elemental Shield is more flexible.


    The Spiritual Force Shield releases all of one¡¯s spiritual power at once, forming a defense shield without any dead angles on the whole body. But the drawback of this spell is also quite obvious. After using it, the whole body¡¯s spiritual power is exhausted and it¡¯s very wasteful.


    This is a defensive spell that the Immortal Sect requires everyone to cultivate so that it can save one¡¯s life in case of accidents like car crashes.


    The pros and cons of the Spiritual Force Shield are very obvious.


    The Water Elemental Shield, however, is different. It manipulates this bottle of Blackwater. As long as one¡¯s mind is in motion and you can see the way of the opponent¡¯s attack, you can place all the defensive power on the path of the opponent¡¯s attack in advance.


    If the ¡°Spiritual Force Shield¡± is a foolproof full-body defense, the ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡± is a predictive defense, and the latter¡¯s consumption of spiritual power is only one percent of the former¡¯s.


    in other words, if he wants to use the ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡± well, Chen Mobai still needs to improve his magic duel skills.


    He took out his needle box, ready to test the defensive power of the Water Elemental Shield.


    Luckily he had developed the Divine Sense, and he could easily multitask. With a ¡°swoosh¡±, the yellow Flying Needle, repelled by the magnetism of the needle box, shot out like a bullet, forming a stream of light piercing the Water Elemental Shield set up by Chen Mobai in front of the wooden house pillar.


    The faint semi-transparent water wall, under the sharp attack of the flying needle, acted like elastic gelatin, being pierced into the sharp shape of the needle. But under the constant infusion of his spiritual power, it didn¡¯t break at all. Instead, it caught the flying needle within the water wall.


    Ding-dong!


    After the magnetism on the flying needle was exhausted, it lost all momentum and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.


    Chen Mobai looked at the intact water wall, which was only deformed into the shape of a needle tip, and nodded in satisfaction.


    Now with the needle box for offense and the Water Elemental Shield for defense, he should not in much danger moving around the edge of the Cloud


    Dream Marsh.


    Thinking of this, he tried the defensive limit of the Water Elemental Shield and also tested the offensive limit of the needle box.


    After the late stage of Qi Cultivation, this magic artifact was easy for him to control completely.


    Half an hour later, Chen Mobai, who had the feel of the power of the needle box and Water Elemental Shield, put away both things.


    The twelve flying needles scattered around the wooden house, like baby swallows returning to the nest, clanged back into the box under the pull of the needle¡¯s magnetism. Under the control of the Water Controlling Technique, the Blackwater returned into the Jade Vial, like a string of water bead necklaces. According to Liu Yanpei¡¯s cultivation notes, this ¡°Blackwater¡± also has usage limitations. After the Water Elemental Shield has been used hundreds of times, the elixir spiritual energy refined into it would be overly consumed, and it needed to be refined and extracted again. Otherwise, it would become unreliable.


    After calming his breath for a while and recovering his consumed spiritual power, Chen Mobai started to cultivate the ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±. This spell also needs Blackwater. It uses the Water Controlling Technique to transform Blackwater into any shape you need, then concentrates own spiritual power into an Ice Breath, freezing Blackwater. It can be made into an Ice Wall for defense, an Ice Blade for attack, or a Ice Arrow for shooting. It¡¯s very versatile.


    However, this spell consumes even more ¡°Blackwater¡± than the Water Elemental Shield. After freezing and melting twenty times, the Blackwater needs to be remixed.


    Chen Mobai just bought this bottle of Blackwater, and he felt a bit distressed using it to practice the Cold Ice Technique. But in order to improve his magic duel skills, this spell had to be mastered. If it comes to the worst, he would work harder and later sell some Spirit Talismans he made himself.


    Following Liu Yanpei¡¯s cultivation notes, he raised the spiritual power from his Dantian, and started the Qigong practice at his twelve luo-connecting points. With a ¡°huh¡±, a stream of air spouted from his mouth and fell on the Blackwater that was condensed into a stick shape by the Water Controlling Technique in front of him.


    Then, there was no reaction!


    He failed.


    Chen Mobai sighed. He felt he really didn¡¯t have any talent for spells. He had been practicing this Ice Breath since he broke through to the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation, but it had never been successful.


    Not to mention condensing water into ice, he hadn¡¯t even seen a trace of frost appearing.


    And he also blamed the fact that the spell records in the Tianhe Realm were not detailed enough. If it was like the teachers at the Earth Elemental Planet School, who not only drew diagrams when explaining spells, matched the human body¡¯s meridian spiritual power flow lines, and even made more detailed video explanations, wouldn¡¯t he be able to practice this Cold Ice Technique?


    At this moment, the alarm on his mobile phone rang.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    It reminded Chen Mobai that it was time to go home.


    He turned off the alarm. He clicked [City Return] in the wooden house at Cloud Dream Marsh Qing Light Island.


    -I need to buy more talismans. Fortunately, I have some money now. It¡¯s just a pity I didn¡¯t get that ¡®Xuan Yang Purple Fire Talisman¡¯ last time. The Pure Yang Academy is too stingy, they only released a hundred.


    Back in his room, Chen Mobai mumbled to himself while he began to wash up and change his clothes.


    It¡¯s the farewell dinner with his classmates today..

 Chapter 73 - Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Procurement^!

    Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Procurement^!


    Translator: 549690339


    After changing from his traditional attire to his usual casual clothes, Chen


    Mobai picked up his phone and prepared to step out.


    As he walked, he was simultaneously shopping for spirit talismans on his phone. Fortunately, his divine sense was so finely honed that he didn¡¯t need to be worried about bumping into things.


    He once again found himself shopping at the Wood Spiritual Talisman store.


    After selling his Spirit Ascension Powder to Teacher Chan Si¡¯s sister, he had acquired a fortune of completely legal money. He swept through buying the talismans he had coveted before but had been too poor to purchase.


    He bought out all the Rank-1 lower-grade and intermediate-grade talismans, spending a total of 11,600 Good Deed Points.


    Afterwards, he bought two Wooden House Talismans. He was planning to go to Yun Meng Ze to fight demonic beasts for practice and might not be able to return to Green Light Island. If he had to sleep on a deserted island, at least with these talismans, he wouldn¡¯t have to endure the wind and rain.


    He bought five Resurrection Talismans, which could replenish spiritual power and remove negative effects. Each of these was worth two spirit stones at the Southstream Market according to Lu Shu¡¯s estimation, but would sell for three at Yun Meng Ze. Here, the price was 500 Good Deed Points, which meant the profit rate could be as high as 60 times by ignoring exchange rates. It was a gold mine just waiting to explode.


    Regrettably, the store only had five in stock.


    Also there was the Soldier-transforming Talisman he had noticed before. Although it was most potent in a place with abundant vegetation, Chen Mobai knew that Yun Meng Ze had plenty of aquatic plants as well. Unfortunately, the shop only had three of these talismans in stock ¨C far too few.


    After a series of purchases, he had practically bought out the Wood Spiritual Talisman store.


    Only the insignificant ¡°Wood Spiritual Talisman¡± and the Rank-2 ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡± which acted as the centerpiece of the store were left.


    Although he had been liberal with his spending, he seemed to have startled the shopkeeper, who promptly sent him a message through the backend portal of


    Xianmen Website:


    [Dear customer, are you going through a hard time emotionally and need retail therapy? We would like to remind you that although our talismans will undoubtedly provide a satisfactory experience after use, they cannot cure a gloomy mood, you know.]


    What the heck was this?


    Chen Mobai simply shot back with a response:


    [Your talismans are of good quality; they are very popular back home. I¡¯m stocking up in bulk to sell back there.]


    [Dear customer, thank you so much! With your purchases, I have earned enough to pay this year¡¯s university tuition fees for my younger siblings. I will individually package your goods and send them with express delivery right away.]


    This shopkeeper was not bad, crisp and efficient.


    Chen Mobai thought as such while he started browsing the upcoming talismans and magic artifacts that various flagship stores on the Xianmen website would be releasing in the next month.


    After he set the calendar reminders for the 18th and 26th of the month to buy the ¡°Three Gems¡± for Foundation Establishment, he checked again for talismans which could be similar to the ¡°Xuan Yang Purple Fire Talisman¡±. Unfortunately, talismans with offensive abilities were not appreciated in Xianmen. The only one available was the ¡°Golden Luminous Sword Talisman¡±, which Shan Hai Xue Gong would put on sale on the 15th.


    However, this talisman had attained an upper-grade Rank-2. With three uses, its price could compete with one of the Foundation Establishment ¡°Three


    Gems¡±.


    Chen Mobai initially thought he was rich. On seeing this, however, he thought he was still poor.


    Helpless, he could only return to the Wood Spiritual Talisman store, grit his teeth, and purchase their Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman.


    [Dear customer¡­]


    The shopkeeper sent another message through the backend portal. The Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman had been listed for two years and only one piece had been sold. Chen Mobai was the second customer to purchase it.


    This one talisman cost 50,000 Good Deed Points, which was more expensive than buying out all Rank-1 talismans.


    The shopkeeper was concerned that Chen Mobai might have bought it by mistake and specifically sought confirmation from him via the portal.


    [Can you ship it along with the other talismans I bought earlier?] Chen asked. There are many stores selling talismans on the Xianmen website, but the local ones in Danxia City that offer free shipping can be counted on one¡¯s fingers. Chen Mobai was a sentimental person. The talismans from this Wood Spiritual Talisman store were quite good, so he didn¡¯t feel the need to browse other shops.


    [Dear customer, I¡¯m extremely grateful for your generous orders. I¡¯d like to reciprocate your patronage by gifting you a three-bedroom Wooden House Talisman.]


    The shopkeeper wasn¡¯t bad, quite thoughtful indeed.


    While Chen Mobai thought this, he typed another message:


    [I already bought two Wooden House Talismans. A single room is enough when used outdoors. A three-bedroom one would be a waste. I saw that your ¡°Wood Spiritual Talisman¡± has been listed for over two years without selling a single piece. How about sending me this talisman as a gift instead?]


    [¡­.I


    The shopkeeper replied with a full-stop, seemingly speechless.


    While Chen Mobai was secretly chastising the shopkeeper for his stinginess, the shopkeeper sent another message.


    [Okay.]


    This shopkeeper was indeed decent; he was good at dealing with unexpected requests.


    After happily completing his purchases, Chen Mobai found himself at a hot pot restaurant.


    As he walked in, he saw many classmates already seated in groups. As soon as he stepped in, Lu Hongsheng immediately waved him over. Seated around Lu were the beautiful girls who sat in front and behind him in class; along with several friends he was usually close to ¨C all of who were there.


    They were all good friends of Lu Hongsheng.


    ¡°Old Chen, heard from the class president that Yan Bingxuan will also be coming today.¡±


    As soon as he sat down, Chen Mobai heard a surprising piece of news.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t she quit school already?¡±


    -She did but we still maintain the bond of being old classmates so the class president called her. Initially, she declined, but for some reason, she stated last night that she would be coming.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng quietly narrated the secret he¡¯d gotten from the class president. Chen Mobai remembered that Yan Bingxuan was refining her Ice Spirit Root. Wouldn¡¯t that make her the perfect person to consult about his issues with the Cold Ice Technique?


    Suddenly, Yan Bingxuan, the school beauty, walked in. After a quick look around the room, as if wondering where to sit, the class president, Mo Simin, greeted her and led her to a table of girls.


    ¡°See, didn¡¯t I say she was coming?¡±


    Lu Hongsheng indicated Yan Bingxuan, who had just sat down, feeling triumphant as if to flaunt that his information was correct.


    Ignoring him, Chen Mobai opened the class chat, found Yan Bingxuan¡¯s avatar, directly sent her a private message, editing the difficulty he had with his Cold Ice Technique into words and sending it.


    Then he put down his phone.


    After a while, Yan Bingxuan looked up and their gazes met. Chen Mobai nodded his head indicating it was him.


    [My written expression is limited, so I can¡¯t use words to explain it to you. After we finish eating, if you have time, 1 can provide you with a physical experience of my Ice Spirit Power.]


    Upon seeing her reply, Chen Mobai strongly felt the warmth of friendships between classmates.

    just then, another group of youthful boys and girls entered the restaurant. From inquiring, they learned that they were high school seniors who had just finished their college entrance exams and were here for a farewell meal.


    ¡°Wow, Old Chen, look. She is so pretty!¡±


    Watching Xianmen website, Chen Mobai was finally drawn away by a holler from Lu Hongsheng. He looked up at the entrance and saw something surprising.


    ¡°What a coincidence!¡±


    Qing Nu, who had just walked through the door, had removed her mask and hat. Her stunning beauty attracted everyone¡¯s attention in the room. Seeing Chen Mobai, she hesitated for a moment and then walked over to greet him..

 Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Scum Man_l

    Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Scum Man_l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Feeling the sharp gazes around him, Chen Mobai started to feel restless.


    ¡°Well, it¡¯s quite a coincidence. Your class also came here for the farewell


    dinner.¡±


    At these words, the Qing Women burst into laughter.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk after eating, I am heading upstairs.


    The students from the Number 1 High School of Xianmen had reserved private rooms on the second floor. The Qing Women intended to turn around and go upstairs after greeting Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I¡¯ve arranged to meet someone after I finish eating. I¡¯m a bit busy, let¡¯s


    arrange some other time.¡±


    Recalling his arrangement with Yan Bingxuan to discuss the ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±, Chen Mobai rejected Qing Women¡¯s invitation to talk after eating.


    His response left everyone in the room stunned, including Qing Women. She understood Chen Mobai¡¯s personality ¨C casual in his words when dealing with things he didn¡¯t really care about, so she could only shrug helplessly.


    ¡°Alright then, call me when you¡¯re free.¡±


    Chen Mobai had broken through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, so the


    Rank-1 intermediate-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water was ineffective for him Therefore lately, Qing Women had been refining the upper-grade version. But due to lack of experience, she failed many times. However, yesterday she had been lucky and made a successful batch with the assistance of Spiritual Extract. So, she wanted to celebrate at a fish restaurant with her supplicant.


    In fact, she wished to taste the fish Chen Mobai had brought from the Water Mansion as its taste was something hard to forget.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll invite you later.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought he would be preoccupied with practicing the Cold Ice Technique and honing his magic duel skills in Yun Meng Ze in the upcoming period, or selling items to earn Spirit Stones, so he might not have the spare time to return to the Water Mansion. That¡¯s why he postponed meeting with the Qing Women.


    Hiss!


    The irritating remarks made Lu Hongsheng gasp. He stared wide-eyed at Chen Mobai in disbelief, like he was meeting him for the first time, repeatedly glancing back and forth between Qing Women and Chen Mobai.


    Not only him, the adolescent boys and girls from the Number 1 High School of Xianmen who came along with Qing Women also clenched their fists involuntarily, staring coldly at Chen Mobai, who was playing with his phone after finishing his conversation.


    ¡°Qing Women, is he your friend?¡±


    An elegant boy came over. Dressed in white Chinese-style clothes and holding a sharp posture, he appeared extraordinary.


    ¡°Uh, yes, he¡¯s my¡­¡±


    At this point, Qing Women felt she had chosen an inappropriate time to greet Chen Mobai. If she said he was her supplicant, it could lead to misunderstandings. But referring to him just as a friend could seem insincere.


    For a moment, she didn¡¯t know how to introduce him.


    ¡°Well, we¡¯re friends with a very good relationship.


    At this point, Chen Mobai spoke up to defuse the awkwardness. He looked up from his phone and met eyes with the elegant boy.


    ¡°Nice to meet you, I am Gong Xiangyu, the class president and a comrade of


    Qing Women.¡±


    As he finished his introduction, Chen Mobai¡¯s classmates couldn¡¯t help but turn their gazes towards him.


    This name was famous in high schools all over Red Sandstone City.


    As a top-ranked student and a super genius in the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, he was adjudged the most promising candidate to enter any of the four Daoist Academies in the last decade, a real path seed.


    ¡°Wait, she¡¯s¡­ Qing Women!¡±


    However, at this moment, Pu Jiangxue, the pretty girl sitting next to Chen Mobai blurted out when she picked out a more critical name. She widened her eyes in disbelief, looking at the gorgeous girl standing before her.


    At her outcry, over half of the remaining classmates came back to their senses!


    ¡°Qing Women? Do you all know her?¡±


    Not everyone knew the name of a Heavenly Spiritual Root. Lu Hongsheng was a little confused, thinking that Chen Mobai¡¯s girlfriend was somebody everyone in the class knew already.


    ¡°Blockhead, she is the Heavenly Spiritual Root beneficiary who got a direct offer to Jumang Daoist Academy!¡±


    Yu Shu, who was sitting next to Lu Hongsheng, couldn¡¯t help but give him a nudge and told him about Qing Women¡¯s background.


    All the rest who didn¡¯t know about Qing Women gasped as one!


    All eyes turned towards the girl standing in front of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I am Chen Mobai!¡±


    Since Gong Xiangyu did make the introduction, Chen Mobai stood up. Under the gaze of all his classmates, he shook hands with the elegant boy.


    ¡°Hope to see you in the entrance exam for the Daoist Academies.¡±


    Gong Xiangyu said slightly prickly.


    ¡°Oh.¡±


    Chen Mobai replied.


    And then they returned to their respective tasks.


    Qing Women put her hands together and looked at Chen Mobai apologetically, then followed her classmates upstairs.


    When they left, a stir arose among the remaining people in the class.


    ¡°Damn, Chen, you kept us in the dark big time!¡±


    Lu Hongsheng was the first to speak, accusing Chen Mobai of hiding such big news as getting a girlfriend from him, a friend of three years.


    ¡°We¡¯re just close friends, it hasn¡¯t progressed to that point yet.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately rebutted. His relationship with Qing Women was indeed just at the level of friendship.


    People like Lu Hongsheng who created a ruckus caused once jovial friends to feel awkward. Chen Mobai had a good partnership with Qing Women and wouldn¡¯t want it to be misunderstood.


    His true words, however, found no believers. All his classmates looked at him with envy and jealousy, thinking that Chen Mobai was showing off subtly.


    Thus, this farewell dinner began with the eyes of everyone filled with envy towards Chen Mobai.


    in the end, he could take it no longer and left early after paying his share to the class monitor.


    ¡°I also have something to do, I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡±


    After Chen Mobai left, Yan Bingxuan also stood up to leave.


    But the other classmates didn¡¯t connect her with Chen Mobai. After all, they thought that with a Heavenly Spiritual Root like Qing Women in his life now, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t bother with other girls.


    ¡°Sorry about the trouble.¡±


    At the exit of the hot pot restaurant, Chen Mobai greeted Yan Bingxuan with some embarrassment.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I didn¡¯t really want to attend this kind of occasion anyway. My teacher told me to experience these emotions before going to the Nature Studies Academy. He said that they provide a valuable emotional foundation for the future. That¡¯s why I bothered coming here.


    Yan Bingxuan nodded carelessly, pointed to a milk tea shop across the road, and suggested going there to chat in detail.


    ¡°Let¡¯s change the place. In case classmates see us two sitting together, there¡¯ll be more rumors.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment and said something that surprised Yan Bingxuan.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°You¡¯re afraid it will reach the ears of that Heavenly Spiritual Root girl.


    ¡°Not at all, you misunderstood. I am worried about affecting your reputation.¡± Chen Mobai laughed it off. Yan Bingxuan agreed sideways at his joke.


    Both of them left the hot pot restaurant together.


    From the second floor private room, Gong Xiangyu, who happened to be opening a window, saw all this. A description of Chen Mobai came to his mind:


    ¡°Scum..¡±

 Chapter 75 - Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Acting Method_l

    Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Acting Method_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Did you feel it?¡±


    Inside a cafe, Yan Bingxuan withdrew the finger she had used to take Chen Mobai¡¯s pulse. He was shivering, quickly picking up the steaming coffee on the table and downing it in one gulp.


    Then he exhaled deeply.


    ¡°Is this your Ice Spirit Power?¡±


    Chen Mobai lifted his hand, looking at the veins on his wrist that were faintly turning green. The right arm was still numb with cold. He couldn¡¯t help but study the nearly transparent, fair-skinned beauty before him. Was she constantly circulating this Ice Spirit Power within her meridians without feeling cold?


    ¡°The ¡®Frost Condensation Technique¡¯, a Spiritual Root enhancement method, will strengthen the meridians.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan noticed the puzzlement in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, and calmly answered his question.¡±Among the three essentials for Foundation Establishment, the function of the Vein Protection Pill is to protect the meridians from being tom apart under the impact of powerful Spiritual Power. As for me, I cultivate the Frost Condensation Technique to purify and transform my Spiritual Root into an Ice Spirit Root. Although it wastes many years, it allows my meridians to withstand the impact of liquefied Spiritual Power at the Foundation Establishment level without the need for a Vein Protection Pill.¡±


    Chen Mobai had not known this. In other words, even though the Technique for Enhancing Spiritual Roots causes a cultivator to lie low for ten to twenty years in the early stage, it also lays a solid foundation for advancing to higher realms in the future.


    ¡°Do the other Spiritual Root Techniques also have this effect?¡±


    Yan Bingxuan nodded and shook her head.


    ¡°Most of them do. Generally, the techniques needed to transform into Different Spiritual Roots need to strengthen the meridians. The rest of the Heavenly Spiritual Roots don¡¯t require this function much because they are single attribute roots, and the body naturally possesses the Five Elements.¡± ¡°Heavenly Spiritual Roots, truly blessed!¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed. According to the statistics of the Imperial Medical Academy, as long as cultivators with Different Spiritual Roots practice corresponding Cultivation Techniques, they basically have a sure chance of achieving Foundation Establishment. However, if they want to achieve Core Formation, it still requires opportunity and personal aptitude.


    Even if those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots do nothing but sit in their cave dwelling and cultivate all day, they still have a fifty percent chance of reaching Core Formation. Combined with the assistance of Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine from the immortal world, Heavenly Spiritual Roots have a sixty to seventy percent chance of reaching Core Formation.


    When it comes to the stage of Nascent Soul Formation, Heavenly Spiritual Roots are actually less advantageous than ordinary Spiritual Root Cultivators who progress step by step.


    This is probably because they have it too easy in the early stages, lacking in tempering, and thus, they tend to succumb during the Heart Demon Tribulation.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t this mean I¡¯ll never be able to master the ¡®Art of Ice¡¯?¡±


    If Chen Mobai were to practice this technique, he would first need to strengthen his meridians. Where would he get the time for that!


    ¡°Let me see!¡±


    Yan Bingxuan picked up her own mobile phone, read the full text of the ¡°Art of Ice¡± that Chen Mobai had sent her and seriously compared it with her own ¡°Xuan Bing Jue¡±, speculating on the ¡°Ice Breath¡± written in a very vague manner and explaining her understanding.


    However, her ability to express in words was indeed average, and Chen Mobai did not quite understand.


    ¡°Let me give you a practical demonstration.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan saw that there was a ¡®Cultivation Gym¡¯ right across from the coffee shop and suggested going there as it was a suitable place to personally demonstrate the Art of Ice to him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately packed two cups of scorching hot latte, hoping to avoid the feeling of his arm becoming stiff from the cold when he experienced the Ice Spirit Power again.


    In the Cultivation Gym, under Yan Bingxuan¡¯s guidance, he booked a Spells Chamber for two hours. As someone who never visited such places, Chen Mobai felt it a bit pricey when he saw the bill of 138 Good Deed Points.


    The Spells Chamber is a standalone room designed specifically for spell practice, with targets on all four walls and sturdy prohibitions set up, making it hard to destruct.


    Yan Bingxuan walked in and adeptly put on her protective gear. She then opened a bottle of complimentary mineral water provided in the room and sprayed it into the air.


    Whoosh!


    With a light breath from Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai standing beside her felt a chill running down his spine. He couldn¡¯t help but circulate his Spiritual Power to warm up.


    ¡°Crack!¡±


    At that moment, the sound of water freezing could be heard.


    Under the gaze of Chen Mobai¡¯s wide eyes, Yan Bingxuan lightly flicked her hand. The water she had thrown into the air turned into a circle of ice spikes at her breath and fell clinking around them. They perfectly formed a circle of two meters in diameter with an icy landscape of ups and downs.


    ¡°You got it just by watching once?¡±


    Chen Mobai felt disheartened. He had been practicing this Art of Ice for almost half a month now and yet had made no progress. Meanwhile, Yan Bingxuan, who had only seen it today and hadn¡¯t even practiced, seemingly mastered it at once and even succeeded on the first try.


    ¡°This is not your ¡®Art of Ice¡¯, it¡¯s the ¡®Xuan Bing Jue¡¯ that I practice, but the principle is the same.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan¡¯s words made Chen Mobai feel slightly better. Otherwise, the little confidence he had built up after struggling to break through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation would have been destroyed.


    ¡°What I just performed was the Ten Changes Technique from your Art of Ice¡¯s ¡®Ice Breath¡¯. Now I will execute it with my own Xuan Bing Jue, watch carefully.¡±


    At this point, Yan Bingxuan again opened another bottle of mineral water over her head. As the water splattered everywhere, it was as if it was in an extremely cold cave at several tens of degrees below zero. It instantly froze into the shape of a large ice flower.


    Chen Mobai reached out to touch it, but with a ¡°Ping Pong¡± sound, Yan Bingxuan took a step back and the ice flower fell onto the floor, breaking into hundreds of ice pieces.


    ¡°Did you notice the difference?¡±


    ¡°Yes, the execution is much faster when you use the Xuan Bing Jue. The Art of Ice has an additional process of breathing out.¡±


    Chen Mobai had been observing Yan Bingxuan¡¯s movements with his Divine Sense all the while. Keeping his full concentration, he naturally noticed the difference in the two instances of executing the Xuan Bing Jue.


    ¡°The Xuan Bing Jue¡¯s complementary Ten Changes Technique is to give water a thousand variations and then shape it into various forms using ice, which is the same as the core of your Art of Ice.¡±


    ¡°The only difference is that I have already completed the refinement of the Ice Spirit Power inside my body. So, my Spiritual Power can shape the flowing water the moment it touches it. Your Art of Ice tries to mimic the Ice Spirit Power, but your body, Dantian, and meridians cannot withstand the coldness of the Ice Spirit Power. Therefore, you need to convert the Five Elements Spiritual Power into Ice Spirit Power at the Twelve-Fold Pavilion.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°However, your Twelve-Fold Pavilion also cannot withstand the Ice Spirit Power. Therefore, you have to breathe out this Ice Breath at the delicate moment of becoming and not becoming. In this way, you can complete the conversion into Ice Spirit Power at the very moment you exhale. This wouldn¡¯t harm your body and you will be able to shape water using normal Spiritual Power.¡±


    ¡°This technique is quite interesting. It almost exactly mirrors the intention of my transformation of Gold Water Spiritual Roots into Ice Spirit Roots. However, the creator must have only used it for magic duels, which narrows its scope.¡±


    After Yan Bingxuan finished speaking, Chen Mobai sincerely thanked her.


    Indeed, a word from a mentor is worth a month¡¯s study.


    Her practical demonstration and unreserved sharing of her understanding completely enlightened Chen Mobai, who was previously confused about the ¡°Ice Breath¡±..

 Chapter 76 - Chapter 76: Chapter 76 True Monarch of the First Element_l

    Chapter 76: Chapter 76 True Monarch of the First Element_l


    Translator: 549690339


    After Yan Bingxuan finished demonstrating the spell, she casually took a cup of coffee and left.


    Chen Mobai walked her to the door of the Cultivation Gymnasium, and thinking the two hours shouldn¡¯t be wasted, he returned to the ¡°Spells Chamber¡±. Following her instructional points, he started practicing the Cold Ice Technique.


    Thanks to Yan Bingxuan¡¯s transferred Spiritual Power and personal experience, he had figured out how to transform his Five Elements Cultivation spiritual power into Ice Spirit Power. The only issue now was to capture that split second when the Ice Spirit Power takes form.


    Even though he understood the trick, it would still require continuous and tireless practice to be able to spit out an Ice Breath at the exact moment when it has or hasn¡¯t formed.


    Releasing it too quickly would result in frostbite to the twelve-story building, releasing it too slowly wouldn¡¯t produce the intended freezing effect.


    After more than an hour of hard practice, Chen Mobai returned home, feeling his throat raspy and hoarse, almost unable to speak a word.


    He bought a dozen bottles of pear syrup from a big pharmacy on the way home, and once home, drank half a bottle with warm water. By the next day, his throat finally felt a bit better.


    Stepping out, he indeed found a huge package waiting for him.


    The Shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual Talisman store had sent it via express delivery within the same city. Upon opening it, Chen Mobai saw four or five hundred talismans sorted by various types and meticulously placed in clear plastic boxes. He couldn¡¯t help but admire the shopkeeper¡¯s careful handling. He placed the lower and intermediate-grade talismans in his backpack, then carefully put the eleven Rank-1 high-grade talismans in the inner chest pocket of his retro-styled costume.


    Finally, Chen Mobai turned his attention to the only talisman sealed in plastic.


    Rank-2 lower grade, Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman!


    Just this talisman alone cost him 50,000 Good Deed Points, the most expensive thing he has ever bought since becoming rich.


    He opened the user guide that the shopkeeper had included as a gift, carefully reading every word.


    The way the ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡± was activated was no different from ordinary talismans, it just consumed a little more spiritual power for Qi Practitioners. The shopkeeper had done some experiments, revealing that a Rank-7 Qi practitioner firing up this talisman would approximately drain nearly half of their inner spiritual power.


    Chen Mobai already knew this, as it was mentioned in the product description.


    Just to be on the safe side, he also bought five Resurrection Talismans so he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about running out of spiritual power during a Magic Duel and become vulnerable.


    After carefully putting the plastic sealed ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡± in his sleeve pocket, Chen Mobai¡¯s sense of security greatly improved.


    He called his mother, telling her that he had got a monthly pass at the Cultivation Gymnasium, and that he would be spending a lot of time there training in spells with other progressive students.


    Tang Panchui knew that the Daoist Academy¡¯s entrance exam this year was a Magic Duel, naturally, she strongly supported her son¡¯s decision and transferred 1000 Good Deed Points to him, telling him not to keep a tight rein on this.


    Chen Mobai promptly refused, knowing that the family was currently on a tight budget. He told his mother that the gym membership covered food and lodging as well as bathing, and there was no need for additional Good Deed Points expenditure.


    With everything ready, he teleported himself to the Tianhe Realm along with his backpack full of talismans and spiritual medicine.


    As the silvery light flickered, Chen Mobai opened his eyes to see the familiar wooden walls surrounding him and he let out a relief sigh.


    As expected, the Turtle Treasure operated just as he had previously tested, teleporting would anchor to the last departure point. Although the rules were simple, this was the first time Chen Mobai had teleported back from a crowded place. He was a little nervous, afraid he might attract attention.


    Chen Mobai stepped outside to look around and found that he was still the only resident in this inexpensive low-lying feng shui treasure land. His worries were eased.


    In the following days, Chen Mobai practiced the Cold Ice Technique, sold charms on Green Light Island, and inquired about which monsters in the Yun Meng Ze were best suited for him to practice combat on.


    Thanks to the cultivators¡¯ appraisal abilities for charms here, his business was thriving.


    Rank-1 lower-grade talismans, which are sold for 200 gold in the Southstream Market, could be sold for 300 here; Rank-1 intermediate-grade Green Arrow and Wood Armor Talismans could also be sold for 2000 gold here.


    As for higher-grade talismans of Rank-1, he temporarily had no intention of selling them.


    After all, doing too good of a business had already attracted some attention from his peers in the market. He planned to first grow his business in the lower and mid-level market. These talismans were traded with gold, which most of the well-connected Qi Practitioners hardly bothered earning due to their small profit margins.


    While running his stand, Chen Mobai wrote down the name and price of each talisman on a piece of cloth and placed it in front of him as he sat on a small wooden stool. When customers came to ask for the price, he simply pointed at the cloth and then gestured at his own throat, coughing twice, indicating that he had lost his voice due to an injured throat.


    In this way, he drank pear syrup to treat his frozen throat while reading the book ¡°Chronicle of Dragon Suppression in Yun Meng River by the True Monarch of Origin¡± that Lu Shu had given him.


    This tiny book was specially made to kill time.


    It was about the last Cultivator in Tianhe Realm who ascended to the Upper Realm in the last ten thousand years, ¡°True Monarch of the Origin¡±, who reached perfection in the process of Spirit Transformation.


    The calendar of the Immortal Cultivation world in the Tianhe Realm is currently based on ¡°the Era of the Origin¡±.


    The year when the True Monarch of the Origin ascended was taken as the first year of the Era of the Origin, which was exactly 64.78 years from now. Before this True Monarch, the Yun Meng Ze was not the thousands of water ponds as it is now, but continuous mountains, which were known as ¡°Yun Meng River¡±, nearly a Rank-6 Spiritual Land.


    Back then, a Rank-5 monster, a Yellow Dragon, occupied the Yun Meng River. This monster not only possessed the bloodline of the real dragon but was also of the Deity Transformation Level. Even Deity Transcending Cultivators of the same realm would often be defeated by it.


    While practicing Qi Cultivation, the True Monarch of the Origin once practiced in Yun Meng River. He witnessed the human beings here being enslaved and abused by the monsters, became enraged, and fought back, but was heavily wounded and lucky enough to fall into the ruins left by the ancient cultivators, where he found a great opportunity.


    One thousand years later, after achieving Perfection of Spirit Transmutation, the True Monarch of the Origin single-handedly charged into the Yun Meng River before his Ascendance.


    After slaying eighteen Rank-4 Nascent Soul Level monsters, he engaged in a seven-day-and-night battle with the Yellow Dragon Monster, which shattered the Yun Meng River into thousands of water ponds. He then exhausted a great amount of Elemental Energy to use a heaven-defying Immortal Technique to subdue this Rank-5 monster, and finally rode the dragon to ascend.


    The small book Lu Shu gave to Chen Mobai narrated this story.


    Having finished reading it, Chen Mobai was left with one thought.

    He absolutely could not let Tianhe Realm know about the existence of the earth element star.


    Although several Deity Transcending ancestors had emerged in the history of Earth¡¯s Element Star, none of them had a detailed record of ascending. At most, they reached the pinnacle of their cultivation and went to explore the boundless Vast Starry Sky.


    In comparison, although there were two Deity Transcending ancestors in the School of Immortal Cultivation, the overall strength of School of Immortal Cultivation might not be as good as Tianhe Realm.


    Unfortunately, the market lacked books introducing the Immortal Cultivation world outside of the Eastern Wilderness. It was said that only the seven major sects and large trade unions had such books. Chen Mobai could only lament that the transmission of information in this world was far too backward.


    If this were the Earth¡¯s Elemental Star, he could know how high the sky was, how thick the earth was, and how many territorial areas there were in the School of Immortal Cultivation with a click of his fingers..

    Inside the wooden cabin.


    Chen Mobai flicked the bowl in his hand, and the clear water inside immediately spilled out. Then he exhaled, and a stream of air, which glowed white the moment it left his mouth, came out.


    ¡°Crack!¡±


    The sound of freezing water echoed in his ears. Chen Mobai watched the frozen droplets in front of him, swallowing back the pain in his throat, and reached out to catch the ice flower he had so painstakingly formed.


    The icy touch made his palm turn red, but his mood was unprecedently joyful.


    After seven days, he¡¯d finally mastered the ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±.


    Actually, he had already succeeded once three days ago. But it wasn¡¯t until now that he could succeed 100% of the time and fully control the subtle moment of the forming and not forming ¡°Ice Breath¡±.


    He crushed the ice flower in his hand and then laughed happily.


    He had never felt such a sense of achievement as he did when mastering the


    ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡±.


    After laughing, a wave of exhaustion washed over him. It was caused by his excessive use of his Divine Sense over the past few days, constantly monitoring the process of refining the Ice Breath through his twelve floors.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t forcibly rally his spirits. He finished the last bottle of pear syrup on the table and went to sleep on the wooden bed.


    When he woke up, it was already the next afternoon.


    However, after a thorough rest, Chen Mobai felt in better shape than ever before, not just his Divine Sense, but also his Qi Cultivation at the seventh level had improved.


    He pulled his backpack from under the pillow, opened it, and saw the 25 Spirit


    Stones inside glowing brilliantly, making him smile.


    Over the course of seven days, Chen Mobai had virtually sold out all the low- and mid-grade charms he had sourced from Di Yuanxing while practicing the Cold Ice Technique. He had converted all the gold he earned into these Spirit Stones at the silver shop opened by the Shenmu Sect on Green Light Island.


    In addition to these 25 Spirit Stones, the backpack also contained 30 medium and low-grade charms that he had kept for himself. After all, he was about to leave Green Light Island to go and hone his magic duel skills with demonic beasts. He couldn¡¯t afford to be extravagant and use only Rank-1 top-grade charms in battle.


    After checking his equipment again, Chen Mobai meditated cross-legged on the bed all night until dawn, got up, left his wooden cabin, and headed to the dock.


    Since it was his first time in a magical duel against a demonic beast, he had no experience himself, so he wisely signed up for a group.


    Whilst selling charms, he also learned about the situation on Green Light island, and found out that the Divine Wood Sect has a sect mission to help new disciples adapt to Yun Meng Ze. Those senior disciples who accept this mission, in order to maximize their benefits during a trip, would take along new Loose Cultivators while leading the new disciples for practice.


    Chen Mobai always played it safe and cautious. Upon getting this news, he even thoroughly compared those senior disciples of the Divine Wood Sect who were specialized in such tasks and decided on one with a medium reputation.


    ¡°Brother Qi Hou, I¡¯m late.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought he was early, but the disciple of the Divine Wood Sect was even earlier.


    ¡°Hmm, you¡¯re not late.¡±


    Qi Hou is a man of few words. He stands tall and thin on a Spirit Boat, his eyes are bright, and he¡¯s dressed in a black robe.


    This Spirit Boat is also a Magic Artifact, which can travel hundreds of miles with just one Spirit Stone. It¡¯s not slow and could save the Spiritual Power of a Qi Practitioner while hurrying on a journey.


    Apart from Chen Mobai, there is also a delicate-looking young man wearing the Shenmu Sect uniform sitting in the Spirit Boat. He is looking down at a roll of maps. This must be the new disciple Qi Hou is taking along this time.


    After greeting Qi Hou, Chen Mobai paid a fee of two Spirit Stones. Qi Hou swiftly took them, then pointed to a spot on the left side of the Spirit Boat and handed Chen Mobai a similar map.


    -This is the Demonic Beast we¡¯re hunting today, the Black Armored Turtle. This beast¡¯s strength lies mainly in its defense, and it doesn¡¯t have many offensive abilities. It¡¯s ideal for new Loose Cultivators and disciples like you.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement and began to look at the carefully prepared map.


    After a while, two more Loose Cultivators arrived. They seemed to be siblings, looking somewhat alike. The man was named Ba Jiang and the woman Ba Xing. After they handed over the Spirit Stones, the team was complete.


    Qi Hou immediately activated the Spirit Boat and, with a quiet hiss, they left the harbor of Green Light Island.


    ¡°Fellow travelers, please take care.¡±


    Ba Jiang was a simple-looking youth from a Cultivator family in Ba Country. He had a bit of a reputation in his home town, and with his younger sister, he had already reached the sixth level of Qi Cultivation at a young age. A rare talent indeed.


    This time, he set out with his sister to seek means of advancing to the later stages of Qj Cultivation and to gain experience in the Holy Land, Yun Meng Ze, in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The delicate disciple from the Divine Wood Sect didn¡¯t seem to want to mingle, keeping his gaze down on the map without saying a word.


    Chen Mobai immediately picked up the conversation thread. After exchanging a few niceties, the awkward silence that would have followed Ba Jiang was avoided. Everyone was relatively quiet, including the team leader, Qi Hou. The Spirit Boat became silent quite soon.


    They reached the island where the Black Armored Turtles resided.


    ¡°There are a total of seven. I¡¯ll deal with the strongest two. You, Disciple Xi, pick one to practice with, and the remaining four can be handled by you three. I¡¯ll intervene if there¡¯s any danger.¡±


    After Qi Hou withdrew the Spirit Boat, the five people landed on the shore. Two large turtles lying on the beach poked out their heads, their crimson eyes staring coldly at the team.


    ¡°The other five are in the water. Off you go.


    While Qi Hou was speaking, he clutched a talisman and injected it with Spiritual Power. Instantly, two large fireballs soared into the air, smashing into the two large turtles.


    The elegant disciple from the Divine Wood Sect, although not talkative, reacted very swiftly. Upon tapping his waist, a green wooden sword flew out. It cut towards a Black Armored Turtle that had just emerged from the water with a cold glint.


    Chen Mobai noticed that this young man named Xi seemed less proficient than himself.


    However, he quickly focused his attention on the four Black Armored Turtles that surfaced from the water. Ba Jiang and Ba Xing, cunning as they were, each picked one to confront, leaving Chen Mobai to face two alone.


    Murmuring a curse in his heart, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t actually come with the expectation of a leisurely experience. He wasn¡¯t in a hurry to call for Qi Hou¡¯s help either.


    First he took a handful of talismans. Then, he opened his Divine Sense. The bottle tip in his sleeve opened, and the Dark Water Shield activated. The Spiritual Power from his Dantian surged to the twelfth layer, and his Cold Ice Technique began to stir ¡­


    By evening, when they returned to Green Light Island, Chen Mobai bid farewell to the group disembarking from the Spirit Boat.

    The young disciple surnamed Xi, with his head down as usual, didn¡¯t even say goodbye. Tying the bodies of the seven Black Armored Turtles with a wooden talisman, he left with Qi Hou. The spoils from the hunt were for both of them, forming part of a mission for the Divine Wood Sect.


    Qi Hou must have made quite a sum of Spirit Stones and Sect contributions from this trip.


    Ba Jiang wanted to invite Chen Mobai for a drink, seemingly wanting to befriend him. But, seeing as Chen Mobai was eager to find another Divine Wood Sect group to join, he politely declined.


    In the following ten days, Chen Mobai alternated between resting and joining groups.


    Gradually, he progressed from his initial clumsiness, hasty use of talismans, and slow spells to a much more proficient state of magic use..

 Chapter 78 - Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Black Plague Bird_l

    Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Black Plague Bird_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Above the lagoon.


    Large black birds opened their gaping mouths, spewing out gushes of wind that transformed into an onslaught of arrows.


    Chen Mobai immediately crouched in the Spirit Boat, activating two Rank-1 lower-grade Wooden Shield charms he held in his hands. Two green protective shells appeared, encapsulating his upper body.


    Accompanied by persistent thuds, the first Wooden Shield charm quickly expended its energy, the second one didn¡¯t last much longer. However, at this point, the major onslaught of wind arrows had been blocked.


    Breaking past the two layers of Wood Escape defense, only three ¡°arrow- remained, heading towards Chen Mobai¡¯s head. His ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡± sprung into action, forming three water ripples that blocked the forward path of the wind arrows.


    ¡°Are you guys ready yet?¡±


    Chen Mobai pulled out another two talismans from his pocket while asking this to his companions behind him.


    ¡°We¡¯re ready!¡±


    The voice of Qi Hou rang out, immediately followed by a burst of scorching heat from behind Chen Mobai. A streak of crimson Sword Light shot up into the sky, swooping across the dozen or so large blackbirds above the lagoon.


    Squawk!


    Accompanied by shrieks of the birds, the leading bird was cleaved in two by Qi Hou¡¯s crimson Sword Light. The remaining birds scattered in all directions without a leader, however, some were quickly slaughtered by Ba Jiang and the others who were lying in wait.


    ¡°The meat of these Black Plague Birds is not tasty and won¡¯t fetch a good price


    in the Fang Market.¡±


    Qi Hou looked at the talisman in his hand that was turning into ashes, then glanced at the bird corpses floating on the lagoon, a pained expression on his face.


    This Rank-1 top-grade ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡± was worth 8 Spirit Stones. Leading newbies had resulted in a loss this time.


    However, he didn¡¯t dare to complain. After all, such business often balances between profit and loss.


    -There are people who buy bird feathers and they can sell for some gold.¡± Seeing the expression on Qi Hou¡¯s face, Ba Xing, who was perceptive, quickly chimed in. No sooner had her words left her mouth, than a fellow disciple by the name of Xi gave her a stem look ¨C he was the one expected to do the job of plucking feathers.


    ¡°No need, it¡¯s not worth the time.¡±


    However, Qi Hou quickly accepted the situation. Once again, he brought out a Spirit Stone and placed it inside the Spirit Boat, motioning for Chen Mobai and the others to leave.


    The Black Plague Birds always moved in groups, with the largest ones reportedly as high as Rank-2.


    Having now killed a group, some of which had escaped, they feared that several groups may return to take vengeance. Drawing on his rich experience, Qi Hou promptly made the team leave the area after their actions.


    Before they left, Qi Hou insisted that they remove and toss away the jackets stained with bird¡¯s blood. It was by these scents that Black Plague Birds tracked down their enemies.


    Sure enough, shortly after their departure, a dark cloud of black birds arrived, circling non-stop around the area where they had killed the birds and ditched their jackets, causing gusty winds.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this to attract the king of these birds. We can¡¯t come to this place anymore.¡±


    Qi Hou used a long-distance viewing talisman to observe the situation and felt a strong, vicious Spiritual Machine that far surpassed his own. He frowned and marked an X on his map over this location.


    ¡ö¡öWe were fortunate to have Senior Brother Qi leading us. Otherwise, we would never have been able to escape from these Black Plague Birds.


    After taking a pill to restore his Spiritual Power, Ba Jiang stood up and thanked


    Qi Hou.


    ¡°Each one takes what he needs.¡±


    But Qi Hou simply shook his head. He had chosen this location as a team leader. Having experienced different times before, this location was swarmed by some Water Serpent Bull demonic beasts at the most, which was an excellent place for newbies and Loose Cultivators to practice.


    Today, however, it was unexpectedly filled with a large flock of Black Plague Birds, including a Rank-2 king bird close by.


    The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s newbie guidance task usually lasted a month.


    Chen Mobai had joined several teams before, however, he found Qi Hou to be the most reliable and thus decided to team up again. The Ba siblings also did the same. This was their third expedition as a five-member team and they had grown quite familiar with one another.


    ¡°Tomorrow, let¡¯s go hunt some Black Armored Turtles.


    Qi HOU spoke again. He was merely at the Qi Cultivation ninth level. Despite his self-confidence for competing in a Magic Duel with the same level because of his years of experience in hunting demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze, facing a Rank-2 bird king which was equivalent to an Establishment Foundation level would be impossible to win, even if there were ten of him.


    He was leading newbies, it was certainly not a suicide mission. Therefore, he saw that this area was no longer safe and changed the plan promptly.


    ¡°Um, Brother Qi, I might need to isolate myself to make some talismans in the next few days.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly spoke up. He indicated that he had gained much from these few days along with Qi Hou, but he had run out of Spirit Stones, and thus, couldn¡¯t afford to continue teaming up.


    The Ba siblings were taken aback. Although they weren¡¯t short on Spirit Stones at the moment, they didn¡¯t find the location where the Black Armored Turtles were hunted appealing after one experience. They also sought an excuse and decided not to team up anymore.


    Qi Hou heard this and didn¡¯t show any signs of anger.


    ¡°Looking at your talismans, they are all inclined towards the wood attribute, do you plan to join our Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    The disciple named Xi, who had always ignored them, suddenly asked.


    ¡°I do plan to do so.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.


    ¡°Your name is Chen Guixian, right? I¡¯ll remember you.¡±


    Disciple Xi lifted his head, gave Chen Mobai a serious look and nodded as though giving approval.


    ¡°With your talent, it should be no problem for you to join our Divine Wood Sect. Maybe you¡¯ll be my fellow disciples in the future. It¡¯s good to get acquainted earlier.¡±


    The words of Qi Hou surprised the Ba siblings. They knew the requirements of Divine Wood Sect for recruiting Loose Cultivators: one shouldn¡¯t be older than 30 years old and must be at least Qi Cultivation seventh level. Although they had teamed up several times in the past few days, Chen Mobai had never disclosed his realm.


    They had thought he was at the maximum of the Qi Cultivation sixth level, just like themselves.


    However, his conduct in blocking the Black Plague Birds today had revealed his true realm to Qi Hou. Without the development of the Divine Sense, it would be impossible to evolve from a person who was flustered while fighting a Black Armored Turtle to someone who handled it with such ease today.


    ¡öBrother Chen, I never imagined that you were a Talisman Maker. No wonder you have an endless supply of talismans. Some of them we siblings never even seen before.¡±


    Learning about Chen Mobai¡¯s realm, Ba Jiang became even more courteous towards him.


    ¡°Oh, not at all. I¡¯m just interested in this field.¡±

    After landing on the island, Qi Hou and his junior disciple left early. Chen Mobai exchanged a few pleasantries with the Ba siblings, gently declined their invitation to a meal, and returned to his wooden house.


    ¡°Without realizing it, I have been here for twenty days.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the ordinary ink-colored robe he had bought on Green Light Island and couldn¡¯t help but be moved.


    His ancient-style suit had worn out in battle a long time ago. Although life in the Tianhe Realm was hard, he became addicted to the daily feeling of self-improvement.


    If it weren¡¯t for today being the day of the college entrance examination results, he would have almost forgotten to return to Earth..

 Chapter 79 - Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Best in the Whole School 1

    Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Best in the Whole School 1


    Translator: 549690339                        ¡ª


    [Chen Mobai, 345 points]


    After struggling to check his score for quite a while, the rare visitor Chen Xinglan burst into laughter.


    Son, with this score, you¡¯re sure to secure a place in one of the top ten academies.¡±


    ¡°Blessed by our ancestors, I am going back to my hometown tomorrow to burn incense for them.¡±


    The elated Tang Panchui couldn¡¯t help but shed a few tears. Neither in the history of the Chen family nor her family, had anyone managed to secure admission into the top ten academies. Chen Mobai¡¯s score was heralding an entirely unprecedented honour for both families.


    Returning to her hometown, she can hold her head high with confidence.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, five more points would have been even better.¡±


    In reality, Chen Mobai initially expected score was around 330 points. He got lucky on the last major question on the formation paper and gained an extra 15 points.


    However, it¡¯s in human nature to be insatiable. Once the chance of admission to the top ten academies set in, he found himself wishing that the four great Daoist academies would expand their enrollment and lower the admission score threshold this year.


    ¡°Alright, alright. Son, have you decided which academy you want to go to?¡± Chen Xinglan, ecstatically brandishing the printed score sheet, started inquiring about Chen Mobai¡¯s plans.


    ¡°I¡¯m thinking about the Pure Yang Academy or the Primordial Elemental Academy since these two don¡¯t have any particular requirements for the spiritual root aptitude and they have the heritage of the Original Soul Technique.¡±


    ¡°Great ambition, you truly are my son.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Xinglan couldn¡¯t help but pat Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulder, grinning broadly.


    ¡°However, these two academies get the most applications each year, there¡¯s a chance that the cut-off scores might be higher.¡±


    Upon hearing about Chen Mobai¡¯s high score of 345 points that evening, his uncle¡¯s family came over to celebrate and stayed for dinner. Unfortunately, Chen Baolan couldn¡¯t make it as she was in a crucial stage of excavating a ruin. She could only congratulate him through a video call.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. My son¡¯s score is nearing the threshold for the four great Daoist Academies. Even if the cut-off scores for the Primordial Elemental Academy and Pure Yang Academy are higher, they¡¯ll surely admit him.¡±


    Chen Xinglan had checked the previous cut-off scores for these two academies which were generally above 340. With this year¡¯s expanded intake, Chen Mobai¡¯s score could be said to have safely secured his admission.


    ¡°Brother, you¡¯re so amazing!¡±


    Wang Xinymg looked at him with admiring eyes. Chen Mobai, usually quite composed, couldn¡¯t hold back the joy in his heart under his sister¡¯s gaze.


    That night, for the first time in his life, Chen Mobai felt a profound sense of fulfilment. He did not use the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡± to dissolve his various emotions. Surrounded by the proud faces of his parents, the praises from his uncle and his wife, and the admiration in his sister¡¯s eyes, he reveled in his triumph.


    When he woke up the next day, he found that his divine consciousness had increased by nearly half.


    In his contemplative state, the seed that had just begun to germinate sprouted another shoot, gradually reaching the same level as the green paulownia seedling he nurtured in the Water Mansion.


    According to the testing of the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡±, his divine consciousness was nearing the level of an eighth level Qi Cultivation When the contemplation seedling blossoms its first flower, it would represent the divine consciousness of a fully cultivated Qi.


    When the flower bears fruit, it represents the breakthrough of the divine consciousness from Qi cultivation.


    After finishing his morning routine, he sent a message to Qing Nu, planning to meet in the afternoon, and then headed to school.


    As soon as he entered the classroom, he sensed something was off.


    Why were all the classmate¡¯s eyes on him? The boys looked at him with admiration while the girls regarded him with disdain.


    Could it be residual effects from the incident with Qing Nu last time? It shouldn¡¯t be, he had explained himself quite clearly.


    Old Chen, how have I treated you normally?¡±


    As soon as he sat down, Lu Hongsheng rushed over to the water cooler to fetch a cup of water for him, then looked at him with admiring eyes.


    ¡°Get to the point?¡±


    Chen Mobai took the water and drank, knowing that his desk-mate couldn¡¯t keep a secret.


    ¡°How are you two-timing!¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t hold it in and spat out all the water he had just sipped. Seeing that the back of the lovely Yu Shu¡¯s dress at the front desk was about to get wet, all the magic skills he had practiced in Yun Meng Ze came in handy. With a single hand, he performed the Water Controlling Technique, drawing the droplets back into the cup.


    ¡°That was a smooth move.¡±


    The classmates at the neighboring table couldn¡¯t help but widen their eyes and clap in amazement.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Who is tarnishing my good name!¡±


    Chen Mobai turned red in the face and shouted at Lu Hongsheng.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you leave early from our farewell dinner that day? Then Yan Bingxuan followed you out. We didn¡¯t really notice at first.¡±


    ¡°But later, when Gong Xiangyu took their classmates downstairs, he casually mentioned to Qing Nu that he saw you leaving with Yan Bingxuan upstairs Isn¡¯t that stirring up trouble? You should have seen the faces of our class and their class at that time, it was simply splendid!¡±


    ¡°But don¡¯t worry, the expression of your Heavenly Spiritual Root girlfriend was okay. She didn¡¯t look like she wanted to die or anything, but she has been frowning these past few days. She didn¡¯t bother you, right?¡±


    After listening to this, Chen Mobai was more furious than ever.


    ¡°Nonsense! I¡¯ve said so many times that Qing Nu and I are just friends, and as for Yan Bingxuan, we maintain an entirely platonic schoolmates friendship.


    How can you imagine that I am two-timing?¡±


    At this point, even the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique couldn¡¯t calm the turbulent emotions in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart.


    ¡°I get it, but I still want to learn from you about how to develop that kind of pure friendship with classmates.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng was clearly clueless. Chen Mobai clenched his fists and managed to calm down after a while.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me this earlier?¡±


    ¡°I wanted to verify this with you, but you were not answering your phone these days.¡±


    That¡¯s right, for the past twenty days, Chen Mobai had been in Yun Meng Ze honing his skills and Lu Hongsheng¡¯s phone signal couldn¡¯t reach there.


    ¡°Well, I wonder if Yan Bingxuan knows about this. I should apologize to her later.¡±


    As Chen Mobai muttered to himself, the two beauties in front of him also turned back around. They evaluated him anew with the same gaze they might use on a scum.


    ¡°I heard that the class monitor called Yan Bingxuan when he found out.¡±


    Pu Jiangxue stated and Chen Mobai promptly looked at her.


    ¡°Yan Bingxuan said: So it seems that this has affected my reputation.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai heaved a sigh of exasperation.


    If it was going to be like this, he should have stayed in the milk tea shop across the street with peace of mind.


    ¡°Old Chen¡­¡±


    Not a few boys from his class gathered around him. Chen Mobai, who usually didn¡¯t attract many eyes, at this moment became a master in everyone¡¯s mind.


    Song Zheng sat at his desk, his eyes also on Chen Mobai. But what he saw was not merely the spectacular Water Controlling Technique, but more substantial underlying elements.

    Impressive!


    Knock knock knock!


    At this moment, the homeroom teacher knocked on the door, and all the boys around Chen Mobai returned to their seats.


    When Chai Deyun entered, his gaze fell on Chen Mobai as well. But when Chen Mobai thought the teacher was also going to bring up all the gossip, he showed a gratified smile instead and clapped his hands.


    ¡°Chen Mobai, congratulations! You got 345 points in the college entrance examination, number one in the whole school!¡±

 Chapter 80 - Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Training Camp_l

    Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Training Camp_l


    Translator: 549690339


    He¡¯S actually the first in the entire school.


    Upon hearing Chai Deyun¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was taken aback for a moment. He knew that his score could rank among the top in the school, but he never expected it to take the first place outright.


    All he could say was that he guessed right on the last big question, which gained him a significant amount of points.


    After Chai Deyun finished speaking, all the classmates in the room opened their mouths wide in disbelief.


    In their impression, Chen Mobai was just an ordinary classmate who didn¡¯t like to talk much usually. It was only recently that he showed his talent in that area. But many people looked at him with doubtful eyes. After all, it was too astonishing and somewhat hard to accept.


    ¡°What realm are you in now?¡±


    Lu Hongsheng asked puzzledly, recalling the scene when Chen Mobai and Song


    Zheng walked in together that day.


    ¡°Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.¡±


    Chen Mobai answered truthfully. He had always been straightforward on Di


    Yuan Star.


    As soon as he said this, the skeptical eyes that were originally cast on him changed to understanding.


    Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, achieved Divine Sense, no wonder he managed to make a name for himself in such a short time.


    ¡°Did you already know?¡±


    Song Zheng¡¯s tablemate quietly asked him. The latter subconsciously nodded, but still thinking about the ¡°Water Controlling Technique¡± Chen Mobai demonstrated effortlessly earlier.


    ¡°This is the first piece of good news today.¡±


    After Chai Deyun announced that Chen Mobai was first in the entire school, he returned to the podium, feeling invigorated, and started enthusiastically encouraging the students to learn from Chen Mobai.


    However, halfway through his speech, he realized that after today, his students would be going their separate ways; they would no longer study here.


    ¡°Teacher, is there any other good news?¡±


    At this point, the class monitor raised his hand to ask, interrupting Chai


    Deyun¡¯s lament


    -The admission scores for the Top Ten Academies have already been released


    this year.¡±


    After answering, Chai Deyun turned on the projector and displayed the admission scores of the top ten academies on the large screen.


    As expected, the Primordial Elemental Academy and Pure Yang Academy have the highest scores. Even with expanded admission this year, they still require at least 340 points to pass. However, Chen Mobai has no problem at all. He can choose either of these two academies, as long as he can pass the upcoming Magic Duel entrance exam.


    ¡°What score did you get?¡±


    The screen of Song Zheng¡¯s mobile phone lit up. It was Chen Mobai asking his


    score.


    ¡°340 points.¡±


    ¡°Impressive, you got it right on the spot.


    Seeing this message, Song Zheng didn¡¯t know how to respond. He wasn¡¯t used to this kind of relaxed atmosphere and tone of conversation.


    -Did you do intensive training these days? I noticed your spell casting skills are much more proficient than before.¡±


    Indeed, their high school did have practical classes. However, during their class¡¯s spell practice lessons, Song Zheng always took the spotlight. He had observed the techniques of other people in the class. Although he had no impression of Chen Mobai, it meant that he found him quite ordinary, not worth noticing.


    just twenty days after the college entrance examination, could he improve so much?


    ¡°Yes, I attended a closed secret training camp and benefited a lot.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s answer intrigued Song Zheng greatly.


    Although he was very confident about his magic talent and had learned a powerful spell under the guidance of old man Ding the day before yesterday, he still wanted to improve further. Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s earth-shattering changes, he also wanted to participate in the training.


    ¡°The training camp has already ended, I¡¯ll invite you the next time.¡±


    There was no way Chen Mobai could bring Song Zheng to the Tianhe Realm, so he had to avoid the question for now.


    ¡°And now, for the last piece of good news.¡±


    At this point, Chai Deyun at the podium shifted his gaze to Chen Mobai and


    Song Zheng, who were sneakily communicating via mobile. They instantly perceived his stare and looked up.


    ¡°The school has decided to establish a special training class to help eligible students score well on the entrance exam and bring honour to the school. We¡¯ll gather the best teachers, who will teach you their magic-duelling expertise.¡± Upon hearing this, all eyes in the class went to the three of them.


    In their class, apart from Chen Mobai and Song Zheng, only the class president Mo Simin scored 328, which, thanks to the increased intake of the top ten institutes, allows her to apply for the two institutes with the lowest score requirements.


    ¡°You surely didn¡¯t join the training class early, did you?¡±


    After hearing this, Song Zheng asked Chen Mobai with a puzzled look, to which the latter immediately responded with a ¡°No¡± face.


    He had just casually mentioned it, not expecting the school to actually form a training class and gather all the top students for training.


    This won¡¯t do. It would obstruct his monster hunting and levelling in the Tianhe Realm.


    It¡¯s not that Chen Mobai looked down on the teachers at school, but when it comes to duelling experience, Qi Hou from the Divine Wood Sect could probably defeat all the teachers at the Fifth High School of Xianmen on his own.


    ¡°Okay, fill in your preference forms now, everyone else. Chen Mobai and the other two shouldn¡¯t for now. The principal will use your preferences as reference when the training class is established.¡±


    Chai Deyun handed out the preference forms. Chen Mobai and Song Zheng glanced at each other and had no choice but to sit and watch others filling in their forms.


    ¡°Old Chen, do you think I can get into Chixia and Cinnabarite Institute?¡± Lu Hongsheng asked, looking distraught. His performance was not good, with a score of just 310.


    Last year, the admission scores for these two local institutes were 315 for Cinnabarite, slightly higher, and 312 for Chixia.


    No wonder Lu Hongsheng was so tom. As for this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say much. After all, it was a decision that would affect his life. It was better to let his desk mate make it himself.


    At this point, the beauties from the front and back desks came over, indirectly revealing their scores and preferences to Chen Mobai, hoping for his advice. Chen Mobai just shrugged, indicating his inability to help.


    However, this didn¡¯t stop them from starting a lively, chattering discussion around him. He had to admit, being surrounded by a group of pretty girls in their prime, left, right, front, and back was quite nice.


    ¡°Let¡¯s leave first, we shouldn¡¯t waste time here.


    Just then, Song Zheng came over abruptly and said this sentence to Chen Mobai. The others in the class froze upon hearing it.


    When had Song Zheng ever hung out with them?


    Even more shocking, he had taken the initiative to invite Chen Mobai to leave together.


    Was this the circle of Qi Cultivation 7th layer students? But why was Song Zheng always at odds with Yan Bingxuan?


    ¡°Teacher, can we go over there in advance?


    Chen Mobai, being the good student he was, raised his hand to ask Chai Deyun. The latter nodded, giving them the location of the training class.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    After saying these two words, Song Zheng cocked his head, indicating to Chen Mobai, who was still sitting. Chen Mobai said goodbye to the students around him, then stood up to leave with Song Zheng.


    ¡°Is our class president coming with us?¡±

    As they left the classroom, Chen Mobai seemed to remember something. He looked at Mo Simin, who was sitting at his desk, looking hesitant. She wanted to go with them, but she was afraid Song Zheng would mind.


    ¡°Yeah!¡±


    When Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze turned to her, Mo Simin seemed to be brought out of the shadows into the light. She nodded quickly, then rushed to join them.


    ¡°Let me tell you, Yan Bingxuan will also attend this training class.


    Once Mo Simin arrived at Chen Mobai¡¯s right side, setting a person¡¯s distance from Song Zheng on the left, she regained her usual vivacity and shared a piece of news that they didn¡¯t know..

    ¡°Didn¡¯t she drop out? Why is she back?¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could speak, Song Zheng was already unable to hold back.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know either. Chen Mobai, you¡¯re close with her, why don¡¯t you ask her directly when the time comes.¡±


    Mo Simin shook her head. As the class president, she knew about the training camp a long time ago, but without knowing her grades, she wasn¡¯t sure that she could apply for the top ten academies, so she didn¡¯t announce anything.


    She and Yan Bingxuan got along well, they were desk mates in their senior year. Even after Yan Bingxuan dropped out, they still kept in touch regularly.


    Classroom 203!


    Chen Mobai looked at the numbers and confirmed the location which Chai Deyun mentioned, then walked in first.


    The room was empty.


    ¡°Just pick a seat.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally chose the seat in the back row by the window, it had the best view and it was inconspicuous.


    Song Zheng nodded and sat in the row in front of him. Mo Simin hesitated before joining Chen Mobai at the window.


    Soon after, two boys arrived.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you.¡±


    One of them apparently knew Song Zheng and casually raised his hand to greet him, and Song Zheng responded.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°They are Xu Yuan and Shi Yuanqing from class 1. Xu Yuan is at the 7th level of Qi cultivation like you, while Shi Yuanqing is at the 8th level and is considered the top student of the fifth high school.¡±


    Mo Simin immediately leaned over to Chen Mobai and explained to him about the two new students.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai took a closer look at them.


    Xu Yuan was the lazy youth, whereas Shi Yuanqing was a bit immature and followed quietly behind Xu Yuan. They both chose to sit in the farthest corner from them.


    Soon after, two beautiful girls walked into the room, one was tall and slim, the other was petite and cute.


    Mo Simin introduced them as Cao Yaling and Shi Jingjing from class 2. Both were at the 8th level of Qi cultivation and were known as the school¡¯s beauties.


    They were the only prospective 8th level Qi cultivators among the current crop of students in the Fifth High School, which also includes Shi Yuanqing.


    ¡°How did you guys do? I didn¡¯t perform my best this time, I can¡¯t get into the Taiyuan Academy anymore.¡±


    Shi Jingjing seemed very close with the two boys from class 1. She naturally walked up to them and sat down in front of them and asked.


    ¡°Not bad, I scored 342 points and he scored 343 points. It¡¯s impossible for us to get into the four Daoist Academies, but we can still choose freely from the ten academies.¡±


    Xu Yuan casually answered without lifting his head, resting his chin on one hand and playing with the phone in the other.


    ¡°Was the exam paper harder this year? I initially thought that I could aim for the four Daoist Academies and take their entrance exam.¡±


    Shi Jingjing pouted, seemingly unsatisfied with her performance. On the other hand, Cao Yaling just quietly took a seat.


    ¡°How much did she score? I heard that the highest score in our school was 345 points, and it¡¯s a name I¡¯ve never heard before.¡±


    Xu Yuan pointed to Cao Yaling as he asked Shi Jingjing.


    ¡°344.5 points. She only missed becoming the top scorer in the school by half a point. And who on earth is Chen Mobai?¡±


    Song Zheng listened with a strange look while Mo Simin just sat in her seat, not saying anything.


    ¡°Oh, I thought I was early.¡±


    At this point, someone they knew came in. It was Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you drop out?¡±


    Shi Jingjing also recognised the beauty, Yan Bingxuan. She was very surprised and her eyes widened when she saw Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°Even though I was exempted from the Nature Studies Academy entrance exam, I still have to transfer my student records.¡±


    ¡°The principal asked me to process the transfer and, while here, I would help fill up the numbers and promote the academy.¡±


    ¡°After all, I was admitted to the Nature Studies Academy through this high school, and if you guys fail the entrance exam, they may have to use my name on the banners.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan¡¯s comments left Shi Jingjing annoyed, but as three more students walked in, she chose not to argue.


    ¡°Over here.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately waived at Yan Bingxuan, signalling her to sit beside him. Bingxuan did not hesitate upon seeing Mo Simin and chose a seat next to her.


    Song Zheng did not say anything, pretending he did not see her.


    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry about the other day.¡±


    Chen Mobai apologized sincerely to Yan Bingxuan, who dismissed it with a wave of her hand, indicating she didn¡¯t mind.


    ¡°How much did you score, and which academy are you planning to join?¡±


    Yan Bingxuan was still not aware about Chen Mobai¡¯s results. As Chen Mobai was about to respond, a short old man walked in.


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re quite early.¡±


    Seeing the old man, everyone stood up and paid their respects.


    ¡°Hello, principal.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, good, sit down, I¡¯ll speak when everyone is here.¡±


    This was the principal of the Fifth High School, who was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, He Jingshan.


    After about ten more minutes, all 36 students were present. Chen Mobai was familiar with all of them after Mo Simin¡¯s introductions ¡ª 3 students at the 8th level of Qi cultivation, 15 at the 7th level, and 18 at the 6th level.


    ¡°Alright, let me say a few words first.¡±


    When everyone was present, He Jingshan walked up to the podium. After some routine opening remarks, he suddenly asked,


    ¡°Who is Chen Mobai?¡±


    ¡°Hello principal, I am Chen Mobai.¡±


    The handsome and young Chen Mobai stood up. Immediately, everyone in the room turned their eyes on him. Xu Yuan and Shi Jingjing from the corner widened their eyes, clearly shocked that this was the top scorer in the school.


    ¡°What¡¯s happened?¡±


    Only Yan Bingxuan, who had already dropped out, was unaware of this development and frowned at the strange atmosphere in the classroom, asking Mo Simin about the situation.


    ¡°Very good, every generation produces talented individuals. I hope in this year¡¯s entrance exam, you can lead your classmates and show the spirit of the Fifth High School, sit down.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai, the principal was very satisfied and praised him.


    At this time, Yan Bingxuan knew about Chen Mobai¡¯s top score. She was slightly shocked and looked carefully at the boy she had not paid much attention to.


    Although she was surprised by his 7th level Qi cultivation during the farewell dinner, that was it. After all, there were quite a few students at the 7th level in the school. If she had not stalled to transform her Ice Spirit Root, she might be at the 8th level by now.


    But scoring the highest in the exam shocked her.


    After all, she had also completed the exam, and had scored precisely 345 points.


    Has this guy been low-key this whole time?


    Yan Bingxuan remembered when Chen Mobai asked her about the Cold Ice Technique and felt that he might just be a quiet person, indifferent to honor and disgrace, and quietly cultivating his skills.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This kind of person, has the style of a true cultivator.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have dinner together after school. I have mastered the Cold Ice Technique and I want to thank you and apologize at the same time.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai sent a message to Yan Bingxuan.


    After sending the message, he remembered that he had already invited Qing Nu for a grilled fish meal after school.


    Well, that¡¯s fine, he can just invite them both. It makes things simpler..

 Chapter 82 - Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Rules of Magic Duel_l

    Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Rules of Magic Duel_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°The theme for this year¡¯s entrance exam, as you all know, is a magic duel!¡± ¡°Once the cut-off scores are out, the rules will also be delivered to all major colleges. Let me go through them in detail now. Please, make sure you remember them.¡±


    ¡°In the magic duel, only spells are allowed. No pills, magic artifacts, or formations will be permitted. Of course, to test your innate combat talent, and to allow for more possibilities during the magic duel to create opportunities for the weak to overpower the strong, the representatives from the Daoist academies and the colleges have agreed to allow each student participating in the entrance exam to use talismans.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the 18 Qi cultivation Rank-6 students, initially dispirited, instantly became invigorated. They all widened their eyes, paying close attention to what the principal on the stage had to say next.


    Even Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Though he was confident in himself, if he had to go against a Qi cultivation Rank-8 or Rank-9 opponent, his odds of victory still seemed uncertain if they were to only rely on spells.


    However, if talismans could be used, he felt that he should be able to defeat everyone.


    After all, he was now an outstanding talisman trader. During a magic duel, he could have a hundred or so talismans in his pocket and a couple of Rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talismans on standby. He should even be able to defeat Gong Xiangyu.


    ¡°Principal, wouldn¡¯t this favor the rich?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, we all come from ordinary families. We might not even afford to buy a Rank-2 talisman. How is this different from allowing the use of magical formations?¡±


    ¡°If those wealthy students have a hundred talismans in their pockets during the duel, we might as well just surrender.¡±


    As Chen Mobai listened to the complaints from his classmates echoing throughout the classroom, he felt a bit embarrassed about his previous thoughts.


    Yes, winning with money would indeed contradict the original intention of the entrance exam.


    It was highly unfair.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The use of talismans is allowed to give ordinary students like you a chance to overpower the stronger opponent.¡±


    ¡°Naturally, the use of talismans will not be unrestricted. The Daoist academies and colleges have set limits. During the magic duel, you¡¯re allowed to use one Upper-grade Rank-1 talisman, two Intermediate-grade Rank-1 talismans, or four Lower-grade Rank-1 talismans.¡±


    ¡°If you want to achieve good results, the combination of these talismans is crucial. Ideally, they should form a system and should not have any apparent flaws.¡±


    When He Jingshan finished speaking, the crowd instantly began to discuss what talismans would be most effective for combat, and which ones would suit their cultivation techniques best.


    Chen Mobai listened for a while and found that half of the Rank-7 Qi cultivation students had already transformed their Five Elements Cultivation Technique into another technique that suited their Spiritual Root Talent. They now had a clear objective in mind, as the attribute of the cultivation technique was already indicative of the kind of talismans they should use to maximize power.


    Those who were still cultivating with the Five Elements technique had more options. They could construct a system based on the Five Elements or build a hybrid system. This would make it hard for them to be targeted during a magic duel.


    However, the Five Elements Cultivation technique¡¯s balanced Spiritual Power might inhibit the cultivator from maximizing the power of a Rank-1 Upper-grade talisman.


    There are always advantages and disadvantages.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve said all I need to say. Now fill in your preferences, and I¡¯ll offer some suggestions for you.¡±


    With a wave of He Jingshan¡¯s right hand, the stacks of preference forms on the stage flew to each student¡¯s desk.


    ¡°By the way, if you have thoughts about talismans, you can also consult me or any of these four teachers in our school. From Monday to Friday, one of us will be on duty to address your queries.¡±


    He Jingshan picked up a piece of chalk and wrote the names of the four teachers on the blackboard.


    Chen Mobai glanced at the names. He only recognized Ding Jinglue. However, the other three, who also taught spell courses for seniors, were equally trustworthy in terms of their proficiency in talismans.


    But if he were to ask anyone, it would undoubtedly be Ding Jinglue or He Jingshan. After all, the former was his teacher, and the latter was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, evidently more adept.


    With that thought, Chen Mobai completed his three preferences.


    For his first choice, he wrote Jumang Daoist Academy. Even though the cut-off scores for all four main Daoist academies were conventionally 350 points, he figured he had nothing to lose by filling it in. What if a special situation arose, and he got admitted?


    It was one of the four main Daoist academies after all.


    Chen Mobai glanced at Song Zheng and saw that he had also chosen the Repairing Heaven Institute. Looking around, he noticed Mo Simin had chosen the Dance Tool Dao Academy as her first choice.


    Only Yan Bingxuan, who was exempted from the college entrance examination and already admitted to the Nature Studies Academy, did not fill in any preferences.


    It seemed everyone had the same thought. But this was also a small trick in filling out the preferences taught by the class teacher, as that was the intended purpose of the first choice.


    As for why Chen Mobai chose Jumang Daoist Academy among the four main Daoist academies, it simply was because Qing Nu had been admitted there. In case he was lucky enough to get in, it would be great to have a familiar face to study with.


    For his second choice, there was no need for any further thoughts ¨C Pure Yang Academy.


    His third choice was the Primordial Elemental Academy.


    After completing his preferences, Chen Mobai waited for a while, and then He Jingshan collected everyone¡¯s forms.


    He looked over each one, calling up the respective students as he read their names.


    Some students were too greedy. Even though their scores were insufficient, they stubbornly chose the colleges they fancied. In these cases, He Jingshan would ask them to modify their preferences; others were overly cautious¡­


    Before long, it was Chen Mobai¡¯s turn.


    ¡°Hmm, with your scores, you are practically guaranteed a spot in the Pure Yang Academy. Make sure to work hard once you get there and strive to reach Core Formation to keep up the reputation of our alma mater.¡±


    For this top-ranked student, He Jingshan spoke amiably, causing a subtle change in the expressions of many down below.


    Chen Mobai was not Shi Yuanqing and the other well-known students. Many people still viewed this sudden first-place student with skeptical eyes.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai paid no heed to this.


    It wasn¡¯t that he looked down on these people. It was just that none of them among those present could best him. Even the three Rank-8 Qi cultivation students, given the condition that talismans could be used, Chen Mobai felt his chances of winning were quite high.


    He calmly sat in his seat waiting for He Jingshan to review everyone¡¯s preferences.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    When they were dismissed, he stood up and signaled to Yan Bingxuan.


    Mo Simin, who was standing beside them, opened her mouth wide, seemingly stunned. Hadn¡¯t they just said they were merely classmates? Their tones and actions seemed a bit off.


    ¡°Simin, come join us.¡±


    Compared to Chen Mobai¡¯s bluntness, Yan Bingxuan hesitated for a bit and eventually called the class president over as a cover. The three of them would go out to eat together. This way, there would be less gossip.


    ¡°Old Song, why don¡¯t you come along too?¡±


    Chen Mobai, now a bit more solvent, was not bothered by treating a couple more people to a meal.


    ¡°No.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Song Zheng bluntly said two words and then immediately left the classroom.


    ¡°He seems to have a grudge against you?¡±


    Chen Mobai wearily asked Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°During our freshman and sophomore years, he always lost to me in practical spell classes. He has been defeated by me so many times, that¡¯s why he¡¯s like this.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan took it lightly. Her Spiritual Root Talent was better than that of Song Zheng. She used to be the first in the class. However, during her senior year, she began cultivating Frost Condensation Technique, which delayed her progression in cultivation stages, allowing Song Zheng to catch up..

 Chapter 83 - Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Meeting between Two Women 1

    Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Meeting between Two Women 1


    Translator: 549690339            ¡ª


    At the grilled fish restaurant.


    Mo Simin looked at Qing Nu who sat opposite her, then at Yan Bingxuan who was next to her, then at Chen Mobai between the two women, she simply can¡¯t comprehend how he dares!


    ¡°Come, this is the black sturgeon that I had specially delivered from my hometown. It tastes even better than the carp we had last time.¡±


    As Chen Mobai had been on Green Light Island all this while, he had no time to return to the Water Mansion. So, he had to choose this best tasting fish from the seafood market on the island. It was said that its taste was comparable to Azure Blood Carp, it just didn¡¯t offer the effect of enhancing one¡¯s Spiritual Root after eating it.


    Chen Mobai had inquired about it. Even in the Tianhe Realm, the famous dish of Azure Blood Carp wasn¡¯t something that an average cultivator could afford. Back in the day, Liu Yanpei had bought the fry at the value of one Spirit Stone apiece. After intensive care, feeding regime development, and growth into rank-t lower-grade, they were sold in the market for the price of 10 Spirit Stones.


    If you ordered this dish at the Sky Meal Building in Southstream Market, it would already cost 50 Spirit Stones.


    The reason for such high price mainly lied in how this dish, after being cooked by Sky Meal Building¡¯s master chef, could significantly boost the Qi Cultivation speed of Water Attribute Cultivation practitioners for a week.


    Many people thought it was due to the exquisite skills of the Immortal Chef, but in reality, Chen Mobai knew that it was mainly because of the excellent ¡¯ Azure Blood Carp ingredient. Practice is in the Tianhe Realm hadn¡¯t realized that the Azure Blood Carp could enhance the Water Spirit Root. They simply saw it as a high-grade food ingredient.


    However, if Chen Mobai thought about it, he would feel heartache. Those Azure Blood Carps he ate at the Water Mansion were worth hundreds of Spirit Stones each, even at cost price.


    But then, on second thought, raising Azure Blood Carps was an exclusive skill of the cultivator Liu family in Yun Country. If he were to sell fish at Southstream Market, he might be ambushed and done away with by people from the Liu family the next day.


    Looking at it this way, eating the fish seemed to be the best option.


    This black sturgeon was also a local delicacy of Yun Meng Ze. Its flesh was fresh and tender. Chen Mobai had tried it in his wooden house. Even when simply boiled, it could lure him to drink all the fish soup.


    Today, with the restaurant owner¡¯s ancestral recipe, the delicacy from the Tianhe Realm made even Yan Bingxuan, who was always conscious of her appearance, can¡¯t help but devour everything after a bite, leaving her mouth oily.


    Chen Mobai was a bit slow in picking up his chopsticks, so he saw that his three female classmates had only left him some side dishes and fish bones.


    Luckily, he had considered Qing Nu¡¯s love for fish and brought two. When the boss served the second one, he didn¡¯t hesitate to reach for the tenderest piece with his chopsticks, bit it off under the gaze of the three women staring wide-eyed at him.


    Delicious!


    After eating the grilled fish, the three women started to clean themselves up, acting modestly, with the Cleaning Technique.


    ¡°This restaurant is not bad, we can return next time for another taste.¡± Yan Bingxuan thought it was due to the cook¡¯s skill, but Qing Nu immediately explained that it was due to the good ingredients Chen Mobai brought.


    Mo Simin glanced at the two women, suddenly kicked Chen Mobai, who looked at her puzzled. Immediately, the class monitor hinted with her eyes, urging him to say something, to end this meal gathering. She feared that if they continued to stay, some unpredictable situation might occur.


    Chen Mobai also planned to return to the Tianhe Realm to continue practicing his magic duel techniques. So according to her wishes, he said they would meet again next time.


    ¡°By the way, this is the Rank-t high-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water I have been refining.¡±


    Before each of them left, Qing Nu suddenly took out twelve tied-up glass tubes from her bag. Inside, the colorless and transparent Spirit Water was rippling, making Chen Mobai overjoyed.


    ¡°Thanks for your hard work. Without this, my Cultivation Level has been rising slowly recently.¡±                         ¡ã


    After earning money in Yun Meng Ze, Chen Mobai bought to main ingredients for refining Qi-replenishing Spirit Water from a branch of Siqi Pavilion belonging to Lou family on Green Light Island. He also bought some used Spirit Stones, made a trip to Di Yuan Planet to give them to Qing Nu, and also bought some talismans online.


    With the same main and auxiliary medicines, at most only ten tubes could be refined if using them to make Rank-t high-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. However, the market price is much more expensive, with a flagship store price of 1000 Good Deed Points per tube.


    After Chen Mobai reached Qi Cultivation¡¯s seventh level, taking Rank-1 intermediate-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water would only give him two to three times the Cultivation efficiency, which he wasn¡¯t satisfied with. Previously Qing Nu was inexperienced in refining, and the success rate was only ten percent. However, with his ample supply of raw materials and the addition of Spiritual Extract, she finally overcame that hurdle recently.


    ¡°Now my refining success rate has reached seventy to eighty percent. Given that the medicinal materials are sufficient, I should be able to refine a hundred tubes for you before I go to Jumang Daoist Academy. That will be enough for your Cultivation to reach the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.¡±


    When Qing Nu said this, she pushed the twelve tubes of Rank-t high-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water on the table towards Chen Mobai, her eyes full of smiles.


    ¡°Perfect, I just bought ten more batches of medicinal materials online, come with me to pick it up at home. Class monitor, Yan Bingxuan, we¡¯ll go ahead.¡± Under Mo Simin¡¯s unbelieving and wide-eyed gaze, Chen Mobai greeted them, then cheerfully went home with Qing Nu.


    ¡°How can he be so daring!!¡±


    After Chen Mobai left, Mo Simin suddenly couldn¡¯t help screaming. She had never seen such an insensitive man before.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go too, or we¡¯ll miss the bus.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan, however, stood up with a calm expression, without showing any inner emotions.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you angry at all? Honestly, if it wasn¡¯t for me not being able to beat


    him, I would definitely teach him a lesson today.¡±


    Mo Simin¡¯s emotions were greatly stirred. She took deep, hurried breaths while walking with Yan Bingxuan, scolding as they went.


    ¡°What¡¯s there to be so worked up about? You wouldn¡¯t really think that we are dating, right? We¡¯ve made it clear that we are just classmates.¡±


    Upon hearing Mo Simin¡¯s continuous words, Yan Bingxuan couldn¡¯t help but sigh and interrupt her.


    Even if we are just classmates, how could he invite another girl when he invites you for a meal? Even if she is his girlfriend, what¡¯s his point, to show off?¡±


    In Yan Bingxuan¡¯s view, Mo Simin¡¯s thinking was off. They were just having a meal. It would be even better and more lively to invite a friend over. Besides, Chen Mobai had said that Qing Nu was just his good friend.


    What¡¯s wrong with inviting another girl?


    Aren¡¯t you a girl too?


    Mo Simin was stunned by Yan Bingxuan¡¯s line of thought, and after thinking about Chen Mobai, she felt as if she was the most abnormal one among them.

    It can be said that people with the same thinking are indeed attracted to each other.


    After realizing this, Mo Simin shut her mouth.


    Don¡¯t include me in any of your activities in the future. If I continue with your team building exercises a few more times, I¡¯m afraid my worldview and thinking will be shattered and reshaped.


    It seems that Qing Nu is a normal person like me. Was she deliberately showing off just now in order to attract Chen Mobai¡¯s attention?


    What a pity.. A fine Heavenly Spiritual Root, why would she have her eyes on him?

 Chapter 84 - Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Divine Wood Sect’s Understanding of Symbol Making l

    Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Understanding of Symbol Making l


    Translator: 549690339


    After delivering the medicinal herbs with Qing Nu to the rented pharmacy lab, Chen Mobai placed another order online. He swept the newly released two hundred talismans that were set up by the Wood Spirit Talisman store during this period. The shopkeeper responded familiarly with a smiley face emoji and sent it as same-city express delivery.


    Unfortunately, he failed to grab the Vein Protection Pill during the flash sale at the Immortal Sect flagship store. Probably because of his home¡¯s poor network connection, the half-second delay resulted in the sale¡¯s complete sellout.


    Chen Mobai could only regretfully accept this. After all, he has the authority of Rank-3 and can participate in the flash sale every month. There will be a chance to succeed sometime in the future.


    Moreover, he successfully grabbed the Spirit Ascension Powder the last time. If he were to succeed again in grabbing the Vein Protection Pill this time, he might potentially expose himself if the process was observed by anyone with ill intentions.


    That night, he returned to Green Light Island as he usually does.


    Although his own wooden house has only a Rank-1 superior-grade Spiritual Qi level and is incomparable to the Water Mansion, Chen Mobai has recently adopted a habit. As long as he is in the Tianhe Realm, he can will himself to diligently practice his cultivation.


    Perhaps it¡¯s because every time he refines the Spiritual Energy of the Tianhe Realm, he, a cultivator from this planet, always feels as though it¡¯s a freebie.


    This makes him very motivated to cultivate.


    After consuming a tube of Rank-1 superior-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water prepared by Qing Nu, Chen Mobai once again felt the rapid enhancement of efficiency. As the Five Elements Cultivation technique circulated, he absorbed strands of Spiritual Energy. After going through the Grand Circulation, it merged into his Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea, and gradually took shape within the Spiritual Power Vortex.


    Finish meditating, Chen Mobai looked outside. It was still dark.


    Checking the time on his phone, it was exactly 4 a.m.


    He began to prepare the talismans he needed to use for his magic duel.


    Among the Rank-1 superior-grade talismans, the only one he can use for fighting right now is the ¡°Soldier-transforming Talisman¡±.


    According to its description, this talisman can exert its maximum power in environments such as forests. Its primary purpose is to trap and suppress. Given that the venue for the magic duel is the Cinnabarite Institute, and even though there are green plants there, most of the terrain consists of Danxia landform mountains. Chen Mobai considered this for a moment, then abandoned this talisman.


    On the Immortal Sect website, he also searched for various talisman stores, but talismans for fighting were extremely rare. Moreover, there were quite a few restrictions to prevent them from being misused by thoughtless cultivators, causing major incidents.


    All were too gentle.


    Chen Mobai shook his head, unable to find any combat talismans on the Immortal Sect website that satisfied him.


    Oddly enough, he remembered the ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡± that Qi Hou used back then. Although it needed some preparation to launch, its power was extremely powerful, and its speed was very fast. Even the famously fast Black Plague Bird couldn¡¯t evade it.


    After all, when it comes to magic duels, cultivators from the Tianhe Realm are more proficient.


    The development of everyday spells and cultivation techniques may be average, but in terms of combat, Chen Mobai admitted that the cultivators of this world were quite formidable.


    He remembered the ¡°Divine Wood Sect Talisman Making Insights¡± that Lu Shu gave him in the Southstream Market. He immediately took it out from the bottom of his bag.


    Flipping open the book, he first searched for the table of contents, and as expected, found an introduction to the ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡±.


    Crimson Flame Sword Talisman: A Rank-1 superior-grade talisman. Talisman Makers can solidify and infuse the Red Flame Sword Light produced by their cultivation into a piece of paper. They can seal up to three Sword Lights, which can be spontaneously released all at once or one by one.


    Unfortunately, this book only introduces this talisman and did not provide the exact method of refining it.


    However, Chen Mobai learned from this that the ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡± has three levels.


    Like the one Qi Hou used last time, it was the most common one. It only sealed one Crimson Flame Sword Light. If it seals three Sword Lights and the user has enough Divine Sense, a small Sword Array can be set up when launched to make the talisman¡¯s power reach another level.


    Which means, although the ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡± is only a Rank-1 superior-grade, if all conditions are met, it can exert a power comparable to a Rank-2 lower-grade.


    It might not be inferior to the ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡± in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand.


    Maybe this is the one to pick.


    After reading the introduction, Chen Mobai felt like if he had the ¡°Three Crimson Flame Screw Talisman¡±, even if he didn¡¯t win the first place in the magic duel, entering the top ten should not be a problem.


    He would go to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Talisman Shop on the island tomorrow have a look around and see if they sell this talisman.


    After putting the ¡°Three Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡± on his list of primary targets, Chen Mobai started to select two Rank-1 intermediate-grade talismans.


    He was familiar with the Green Arrow Talisman and the Wood Armor Talisman. It was fair to say these were the talismans he used most frequently and was most adept at using. He decided to go with these two for now.


    Now only four Rank-1 lower-grade talismans were left.


    Chen Mobai set up a group composed of the Wooden Shield Talisman, Wood Prison Talisman, Coiling Talisman, and Detoxification Talisman. In the immortal world, duels were generally stopped at some point, and these talismans could be used to deal with Qi Cultivation Rank-6 opponents who were only making up the numbers.


    However, among these, the function of the Wooden Shield Talisman and Wood Armor Talisman are somewhat redundant, and Chen Mobai also mastered the Water Elemental Shield. He felt that there were too many defensive means.


    But he also considered that being undefeated is not a bad thing, so he¡¯ll stick with this setup for now.


    After roughly setting up a set of talismans to be used during the magic duel, Chen Mobai decided to head out on his own to practice against the Black Armored Turtle tomorrow.


    Looking outside, the sky was still dark, so Chen Mobai continued to read the ¡°Divine Wood Sect Talisman Making Insights¡± in his hands.


    He contemplated whether he could use the talismans from Tianhe Realm to further enhance his current set.


    This book of insights was distributed to newly recruited disciples by the Divine Wood Sect. It records the forty-eight most common types of talismans in the Divine Wood Sect, but only five of them come with detailed crafting methods.


    These are the ¡°Consciousness Talisman,¡± ¡°Renewal Talisman,¡± ¡°Regeneration Talisman,¡± ¡°New Life Talisman,¡± and ¡°Life Recovery Talisman.¡±


    From their names, it is clear they are designed as a systematic set to be used for healing and saving lives.


    The ¡°Consciousness Talisman¡± is an inferior version of the ¡°Resurrection Talisman.¡± It can be used to restore Spiritual Power. How much is restored depends on the level of the realm. However, it lacks the powerful effect of the Resurrection Talisman, which removes all negative effects.


    The ¡°Renewal Talisman¡± is quite powerful. It can regenerate severed fingers or even amputated limbs. If this talisman is used shortly after the injury, it can even reattach the severed part.


    The ¡°Regeneration Talisman¡± is the best-selling talisman within the lower market of the Divine Wood Sect. It can enhance a man¡¯s virility.

    The ¡°New Life Talisman¡± allows cultivators who are beginning to age physically to experience the vigor of youth again. Its sales are also good.


    The most powerful ¡°Life Recovery Talisman¡± is used for saving lives. No matter how severe the injury, as long as you slap on this talisman, you can hold on to your last breath for three days. Of course, if your head has been chopped off, ten Life Recovery Talismans would be useless. It is generally used to carry out last wishes.


    After reading this book of talisman-making insights, Chen Mobai had a fair idea about the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s approach.


    Turns out, this major sect of the East Wilderness recruits loose practitioners specifically to create talismans.


    The contribution to the sect gained from making talismans can be accumulated. It is said that when it reaches ten thousand, it can be exchanged for a Foundation Building Pill..

 Chapter 85 - Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Death_l

    Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Death_l


    Translator: 549690339 1


    Although he understood why the Divine Wood Sect recruited Loose Cultivators, Chen Mobai still yearned for the Foundation Building Pill-


    Just one of these pills could reportedly give a Qi Practitioner at the level of Qi Cultivation completion, a minimum of 30% success rate in Foundation Establishment, making it quite the divine ascension spiritual medicine.


    Even if overdosed, Chen Mobai was willing to give the Foundation Building Pill


    a try.


    After all, he would have enough time to detoxify the pill after Foundation


    Establishment.


    However, even though Divine Wood Sect was the most inclusive amongst the Big Seven of the Eastern Wilderness, the enrollment for Loose Cultivators only happened once every decade, highly favoring those with talisman-creation capabilities. After all, Qi Practitioners with this talent could become a source of revenue for the sect with just a bit of nurturing.


    Moreover, to earn enough sect contributions for the Foundation Building Pill, these individuals would work to their utmost capability in talisman crafting and task completion. Cultivators who grew in such an environment and subsequently succeeded in Foundation Establishment were usually of high accomplishment.


    Chen Mobai considered his options, deciding that he needed to sharpen his talisman-making skills as soon as possible if he wanted a shot at fitting in. Hence, after the entrance exams, he decided to prioritize talisman crafting right after cultivation, utilizing the crafting instructions recorded in the ¡°Divine Wood Sect Talisman Crafting Guide¡±.


    Daylight had finally arrived.


    After making preparations and equipping himself, Chen Mobai rented a boat for the first time to hunt demonic beasts.


    He was fully prepared, stocked with talismans, and had even chosen the Black Armored Turtle- a beast famous in Yun Meng Ze for its strong defense and weak offense. As such, this solo endeavor went off without any unexpected twists, and he easily slaughtered an isolated turtle.


    However, during the process, he ran into the Ba siblings, who had also rented a boat.


    Chen Mobai and the siblings exchanged greetings from across the lake and then each took their spoils and sailed off in separate directions back to Green


    Light Island.


    ¡°I feel as though the pair are on guard around me.¡±


    Muttering to himself on his boat, Chen Mobai realized that interpersonal caution in the Tianhe Realm was much more intense than he had thought. Despite a few shared fights with the Ba siblings, they kept him at bay during their meeting in Yun Meng Ze.


    As for this, Chen Mobai could only count himself lucky that he hadn¡¯t run into Qi Hou and his fellow disciples. That would have been truly awkward.


    Once he safely returned to Green Light Island, Chen Mobai sold the Black Armored Turtle he had killed to a beast vendor on the pier. Since his talismans were primarily used for binding and trapping, the most valuable part of the beast- the turtle shell, was perfectly preserved. He sold it for two Spirit Stones.


    After being processed by an Artifact Refiner, these turtle shells became defensive magic artifacts.


    Chen Mobai kept a turtle leg for himself. He had even brought some seasonings this time, planning to cook this nutritious ingredient. However, as he was about to carry the cut turtle leg back to his wooden hut, a streak of spiritual light, like an arrow leaving the bow, flew from the distant lake and hit a cart full of beast meat nearby.


    Instantly, flesh and blood splattered everywhere.


    Chen Mobai acted swiftly, using his Water Controlling Technique. A hemisphere of water formed in front of him, blocking all the flying pieces of flesh and blood.


    ¡°Which little bastard blew up the goods I painstakingly gathered all morning?¡± An eighth-layer Qi Practitioner, ignoring the flesh and blood on him, furiously rushed to the spiritual light. He crushed it with a punch, pulled out the person inside, and prepared to give him a good beating.


    ¡°Quickly inform the Island Lord, there¡¯s an army of¡­ demonic beasts¡­ charging towards us¡­¡±


    The person inside the spiritual light managed to spit out this sentence, even as he continuously coughed up blood. The powerful talisman he had been clasping turned into ashes.


    ¡°It¡¯s him.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw that the person was Ba Jiang and was taken aback.


    At this time, the two disciples of the Divine Wood Sect who had been watching the show on the dock, showed a drastic change in their expressions when they heard Ba Jiang¡¯s words. One of them instantly pushed away the meat vendor who was about to interject, while the other, with distressed eyes, quickly applied a Life Recovery Talisman.


    ¡°Send a message to Uncle Zheng, the most urgent one!


    After applying the talisman and preserving Ba Jiang¡¯s remaining life, the disciple of the Divine Wood Sect gave this command to his brother, who nodded, pulled a talisman for internal communication from his chest, and launched it into the sky after infusing it with spiritual power.


    Whoom!


    A pillar of firework-like light shot instantly into the sky. Anyone outside on Green Light Island could see it clearly.


    ¡°What has happened!¡±


    Not even a minute after the talisman was launched, a white-haired old man with powerful spiritual light flew from the top of Green Light Island. His gaze was as sharp as a knife. He stood in mid-air, his powerful aura telling Chen Mobai that he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    ¡°A loose cultivator reported that an army of demonic beasts is heading towards Green Light Island.¡±


    The Divine Wood Sect cultivator stationed at the dock promptly informed the Uncle Zheng of the situation.


    Upon hearing the news, the white-haired old man immediately flew higher up, and Chen Mobai clearly saw him shooting twelve talismans in all directions. About eight or nine breaths later, seven of the talismans flew back to his palm. ¡°Everyone withdraw to the island immediately and start the Large Formation. Send messages to our disciples and other members outside, telling them not to return to the island and find their own way to survive.¡±


    This senior named Zheng, who was stationed in Yun Meng Ze for many years was well prepared for a situation like this. After confirming the authenticity of the demonic beast army using a Demon-searching Talisman, he began to issue orders and arrange for the sect members.


    ¡°Yes, Uncle Zheng!¡±


    The Wood Sect disciple who was holding Ba Jiang immediately laid down the now useless messenger and began to activate the nodal points of the Large Formation on the shore along with his fellow disciple.


    As for the other Loose Cultivators on the shore, needless to say, they scattered in an instant once the Foundation Establishment cultivator spoke, abandoning their goods to rush to the Fang Market to buy battle talismans, magic artifacts, and medicinal pills.


    The cultivators who had just left the island were somewhat lucky; the Divine Wood Sect disciples waited for them to come ashore before activating the


    Large Formation.


    But those who were far away could only pray for their good fortune.


    It seemed even the disciples of Divine Wood Sect who left the island could only rely on their luck according to the cultivator who had achieved Foundation Establishment. They only hoped they would not encounter the demonic beast army and survive this catastrophe.


    Chen Mobai, seeing the now empty dock, immediately ran to Ba Jiang, who was on his last breath, having seemed to have used up all his spiritual power to activate a life-saving talisman and hoisted him onto his back.

    Ba Jiang was moved to see that Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t fled but had chosen to save him instead in such a situation.


    ¡°Where¡¯s your sister?¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered that not long ago, he had seen the Ba siblings.


    ¡°She¡¯s dead.¡±


    These two simple words caused Chen Mobai to stop in his tracks. He was once again confronted with the dangers of the Tianhe Realm..

 Chapter 86 - Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Summon Order _1

    Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Summon Order _1


    Translator: 549690339


    After carrying Ba Jiang back to the wooden house he had rented, Chen Mobai prepared to say goodbye and leave.


    ¡°Brother Chen, words cannot express my gratitude. Once I recover from my injuries, I will prepare a generous gift for you.¡±


    Ba Jiang weakly lay on the wooden bed, opening his mouth with a wry smile. ¡°After all, we¡¯ve just met and I¡¯d feel guilty if I didn¡¯t help save you from death.¡± Chen Mobai merely shook his head, then asked about the situation with the demonic beasts, but Ba Jiang really didn¡¯t know much.


    After killing the Black Armored Turtle with his sister, he went around to hunt another kind of beast, only to encounter a large flock of Black Plague Birds.


    The Rank-2 bird king didn¡¯t even need to make a move, close to a thousand Black Plague Birds spat out windy plague, dense as a shower of arrows coveting all possible escape spaces.


    Ba Jiang had a Rank-2 defensive Spirit Talisman for saving his life, but his sister was not so lucky. She was pierced through with a thousand holes and lost her life in the water.


    ¡°Do these demonic beasts of Yun Meng Ze often attack islands?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a complete outsider and his understanding of the situation


    here was limited to his recent experience.


    Although Ba Jiang had just arrived, he was nonetheless born into a cultivating family native to Eastern Wilderness. Having grown up listening to legends about Yun Meng Ze, he had an inkling about the situation.


    -Deep within Yun Meng Ze, it is said there is a Rank-4 demonic beast, but a hundred years ago, it was suppressed by the Hun Yuan elder from the Five Elements Sect along with some of his fellows.¡±


    ¡°Fifty years ago, after the Hun Yuan elder¡¯s death, this seal became less stable and often, powerful beasts would break out from the seal. They would lead their clans to stir up trouble. If not for the constant presence of Nu Jiang, a cultivator belonging to the Five Elements Sect¡¯s water clan, guarding the seal from Wind and Rain Keep, Yun Meng Ze would probably have become a playground for these beasts,¡±


    ¡°Still, every once in a while, the seven major sects of Eastern Wilderness would organize mass hunting events at Yun Meng Ze. Otherwise, if the external and internal beasts team up to attack the Wind and Rain Keep, the legendary


    Rank-4 beast might truly escape.¡±


    ¡°In the past thirty years, the army of beasts has become more clever. They would commence their attacks on the various market islands within Yun Meng Ze before the commencement of the major joint beast hunting event by the Eastern Wilderness sects. It¡¯s usually the most intense battles during this


    period.¡±


    After listening to all this, Chen Mobai could not help but fall silent and then he asked a question.


    ¡°Can Green Light Island withstand it?¡±


    ¡°Divine Wood Sect is, after all, one of the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness. They have a remarkable foundation and most likely will be able to withstand the attack, though many people might die.¡±


    It was a phrase uttered by Ba Jiang that made Chen Mobai sigh.


    ¡öMost likely¡¯, meant there was a possibility of it not withstanding the attack. ¡°During these times, we, as loose cultivators have no choice but to rely on the Divine Wood Sect. They would also issue a summons asking us to help defend the island.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is this summon compulsory?¡±


    ¡°That depends on how the Divine Wood Sect decides but even if it¡¯s not compulsory, us loose cultivators would need to help defend the island because if the island breaks, the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect might be able to escape via teleportation arrays, but we loose cultivators will definitely be abandoned as cannon fodder.¡±


    Ba Jiang said all this with a bitter face. Upon hearing it, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show an enlightened look on his face.


    That¡¯s right, with the teleportation array, the Divine Wood Sect obviously has the capacity to evacuate its forces and retreat back to the sect¡¯s mam base.


    However, he quickly grasped another point.


    Green Light Island Market, as one of the best markets operated by the Divine Wood Sect in Yun Meng Ze, brings in tens of thousands of spirit stones every month from rent of the cave dwellings and wooden houses on the island, plus various stores and businesses.


    If they abandoned the island now, leaving it to be destroyed by the beasts, even Core Formation cultivators would be heartbroken by such a loss.


    Therefore, even if the Divine Wood Sect intended to retreat via the teleportation array, that would surely only occur in a situation where they were out of resources and could no longer defend the island.


    Consequently, Loose Cultivators would definitely hope that the Divine Wood Sect would not retreat and would contribute to the defense of the island.


    Chen Mobai, on the other hand, found himself mulling over whether to make an immediate departure.


    He had the Turtle Treasure and could withdraw at will.


    However, the demonic beasts¡¯ invasion of the island represented a rare learning opportunity. Given that he had a safe means of escape, and that the Divine Wood Sect was definitely prioritizing the defense of the island, perhaps he could observe the situation and use it to hone his magic duel skills.


    ¡°Brother Ba, you rest and heal first, I¡¯ll try to find Brother Qi Hou and see if he¡¯s on the island,¡± Chen Mobai said, before getting up and leaving.


    Chen had accompanied Qi Hou on several missions to hunt demonic beasts. He knew where this disciple of the Divine Wood Sect resided ¨C at the highest point of the island, where the spirit veins were the best. The cave dwelling even topped those at the Water Mansion, being of rank-2 top tier.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you.¡±


    Luckily for Qi Hou, he avoided calamity that day by staying on the island since his junior brother Xi had other matters to attend to.


    Chen Mobai was even luckier. He left the island and met the Ba siblings. Fortunately, he chose the right direction and returned safely.


    Qi Hou sighed after hearing from Chen about the situation of the Ba siblings. He then handed Chen a ¡°Consciousness Talisman¡± to help deliver it to Ba Jiang. ¡°Brother Qi, how should we Loose Cultivators deal with the demonic beasts¡¯ island invasion?¡± Chen asked after accepting the talisman.


    If the Divine Wood Sect was hard on Loose Cultivators, he was planning to run away.


    ¡°Hmm, I just came from Uncle Master Zheng and the announcement is about to be issued. Let me tell you in advance.¡±


    -Our Divine Wood Sect is hiring all Loose Cultivators on the island with spirit stones. Those in the later stages of Qi Cultivation would receive 5 spirit stones per day, those in the middle stages 2 spirit stones per day, and those in the early stages 1 spirit stone per day. These spirit stones will be given out daily, provided each person is ready to risk their lives for the cause.¡± ¡°Furthermore, if one greatly distinguishes oneself in the defense of the island, we at the Divine Wood Sect may make an exception and welcome them into our ranks as disciples after the conflict.¡±


    After listening to Qi Hou¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but admire the audacity of this Zheng Foundational Establishment cultivator.


    Even without spirit stones, in order to preserve their own lives, Loose Cultivators on the island would aid in defending the island with their lives. But with this generous solicitation order, practically all of them would fight to the death.


    Even Chen Mobai himself was rather tempted.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯ve cultivated to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation at such a young age. I truly hope you can join the Divine Wood Sect, so that we can officially become fellow disciples.¡±


    After encouraging Chen with these words, Qi Hou mentioned that he needed to prepare defenses at the Large Formation array flag on the east side of the Green Light Island. After waiting for three fellow disciples to form a small team, he also hurriedly left.


    Chen Mobai, holding his Consciousness Talisman, returned to Ba Jiang¡¯s cabin. After giving him the talisman, he told him about the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s solicitation order.


    ¡ö¡¯If they¡¯re distributing spirit stones on the day itself, even the most skeptical Loose Cultivator would drop their doubts. Uncle Master Zheng Deming, worthy of being one of the cultivators from Divine Wood Sect most likely to reach Core Formation level. He¡¯s greatly daring, and having come from a Loose Cultivator background, understands our perspective well.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation, Ba Jiang sighed with admiration. As expected, some Loose Cultivators who had planned to pack up and leave, thinking that the demonic beasts¡¯ main target must be Green Light Island and that they probably had a decent chance of surviving if they could hide in various parts of Yun Meng Ze without encountering the demonic beasts outright, chose to stay after the announcement was issued..

 Chapter 87 - Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Helmet_1

    Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Helmet_1


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai decided to stay.


    Tianhe Realm is his greatest opportunity. There is no doubt that he will spend a long time in this world, and in this world full of battles and danger, he can¡¯t always keep hiding.


    Defending Green Light Island this time can give him a direct view of the large-scale battle level of this world.


    Moreover, with the Divine Wood Sect taking the lead, such opportunities are not plentiful.


    Even if the Divine Wood Sect can¡¯t hold on in the end and has to retreat through the teleportation array, it will surely cause a great commotion, which cannot be hidden. He only needs eight seconds to return to the city. When the time comes, he can dig a hole under his wooden house. If the island is truly breached, he can still hide for eight seconds without any problem.


    After leaving Ba Jiang, Chen Mobai first went to the street, Fang Market on the island, intending to see if he could purchase some magic artifacts and talismans that could increase his combat power. But he was already too late, almost all the items had been snapped up.


    The rest were either inferior products or magic artifacts that had greatly reduced power due to damage.


    As for elixirs, they were truly all sold out. Even those medicinal herbs, as long as they could recuperate spiritual power or cure injuries upon consumption, had been bought up by the cultivators who were willing to spend money.


    The stores set up by the Divine Wood Sect were even more needless to say. After ordering the island¡¯s closure, they closed their doors. All the supplies were controlled by Zheng Deming and partly distributed to the sect disciples on the island.


    There were quite a few loose cultivators dreaming of getting rich by the roadside. They brought out items they usually dare not sell and opened up with exorbitant prices that were two to three times higher than usual.


    Chen Mobai took a liking to a spirit mirror artifact capable of attacking and defending, but the stall owner¡¯s asking price of 80 spirit stones forced him to shake his head and leave.


    After he made his round, he discovered how poor he really was and had to return to his own wooden house, only to find someone already waiting at the door.


    ¡°Mr. Wang, why are you standing at the door?¡±


    Chen Mobai greeted him. This man was the steward of Divine Wood Sect who had originally rented him this wooden house. The latter seemed to have just arrived not long ago. He was hesitating whether to wait a little longer. Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s return, he let out a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Friend Chen, this is the recruitment order issued by my Divine Wood Sect. As a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, I¡¯ve come to inform you, hoping that you can help defend the Spirit Island in this critical moment and lend a hand to our sect.¡±


    Steward Wang handed a recruitment order that was stamped with the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s seal to Chen Mobai. The latter, having decided to stay, naturally would not refuse.


    ¡°No problem, but where can I collect the spirit stones?¡±


    The recruitment order clearly stated the conditions for recruiting loose cultivators to defend the island, exactly as disclosed by Qi Hou. Once you accept the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s conscription, the remuneration spirit stones would be distributed before each day¡¯s battle.


    Such conditions are absolutely full of sincerity.


    ¡°If you¡¯re willing, you¡¯d belong to the small team under my command, and I¡¯ll distribute the spirit stones.¡±


    Steward Wang¡¯s words made Chen Mobai nod in approval, after which he immediately signed right on the recruitment order.


    ¡°According to the investigation of Uncle Zheng¡¯s spirit talisman, the first batch of demonic beast army will arrive in about two hours. I still need to issue recruitment orders to more than ten other loose cultivators. I hope, Friend Chen, you can gather at this place an hour later.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai nodded again. Steward Wang was also very generous, directly paying out the 5 spirit stones.


    After all, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Large Formation to protect the island has been activated. These loose cultivators couldn¡¯t escape even if they wanted to, so they weren¡¯t afraid of Chen Mobai going back on his word after receiving the spirit stones.


    What Steward Wang didn¡¯t know was that right after he left, Chen Mobai immediately used Turtle Treasure to return to the Earth Realm.


    Of course, he didn¡¯t flee. Instead, he went to purchase supplies for battle.


    At home, the packet of more than two hundred talismans sent by the Wood Spirit Talisman store was casually swept by Chen Mobai¡¯s glance and then stuffed into his bag. Then he called Wu Wan.


    There was inflation in Green Light Island, but over here in the Earth Realm, the prices of magic artifacts had always been very steady. However, magic artifacts used for battle were unusually high.


    There was no way, producing a magic artifact that had a huge killing power required prior application and approval from the relevant departments of the immortal gates. Once they were made and bought, the buyer had to register again. It needed to be reported every time it was used. All kinds of reasons made the prices of magic artifacts used for battle soar.


    However, defense-type magic artifacts only needed to be recorded once they were made, so their value had always been very stable.


    Chen Mobai felt that in a battle, it¡¯s safest to protect one¡¯s life. Although he had practiced the Water Elemental Shield and had the Wooden Shield Charm and the Wood Armor Talisman, he still felt he needed to buy another defensive magic weapon to feel assured to participate in the island defense battle.


    ¡°A defensive magic artifact, my budget is around 80,000 Good Deed Points.¡±


    After making his demand clear in one sentence, Wu Wan, as a Rank-1 Treasure Appraiser, had quite a few resources at hand and had three magic artifacts that met his requirements.


    Due to the urgency, this time Chen Mobai didn¡¯t take his time to take public transportation, he went to Wu¡¯s Gold Shop by taxi directly.


    ¡°I only have this one right now. If you need the other two, they have to be transferred from other Blessed Earth Cities.¡±


    ¡°How long would it take?¡±


    ¡°One is in the same city, it can probably arrive tomorrow. The other has to be transferred from Weiyu Blessed Earth, the fastest can be three days if you are not stingy with Good Deed Points.¡±


    In the immortal gates, shipping is free within the same city. The freight for shipping from other Blessed Earth City is not cheap. But at this time Chen Mobai would certainly not care about these, only the time was too tight.


    So he started to look at the defensive magic artifact that Wu Wan took out from his safe.


    It was a helmet, all golden and looked very dazzling.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Rank-1 intermediate grade magic artifact. When worn, it can defend against spells that attack the Divine Sea directly. When I was refining it, I also built in a prohibition for the Spiritual Force Shield. If it is filled with spiritual power in advance, you can activate it once without using your own spiritual power.¡±


    As Wu Wan introduced this helmet, he seemed a bit loath to part with it.


    ¡°Oh, I wasn¡¯t expecting it to be personally crafted by Master Wu.¡±


    Although every treasure appraiser has the heart to become an artifact refiner, Wu Wan¡¯s words still surprised Chen Mobai a bit.


    ¡°Originally, when I was refining this helmet, it was to enhance divine sense during the Foundation Establishment. Because I only got my hands on the Vein Protection Pill, I didn¡¯t have the Spirit Ascension Powder. Sadly, I still lacked the fundamental skills, and my Foundation Establishment failed. It will take several years to reach the Qi Cultivation Perfection again next time. If you need it, I¡¯ll sell it to you at a discounted price.¡±


    When Wu Wan spoke these words, although he sounded nonchalant, Chen Mobai could hear his sighs.


    The difficulty of Foundation Establishment for ordinary cultivators in the Immortal Gate, is akin to ascending to heaven.

    ¡°What price does Master Wu plan to sell it for?¡±


    ¡°This magic artifact is made from refined Essence of Gold, the material cost is extraordinary. We can be considered old acquaintances, 100,000 Good Deed Points.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that too expensive? My budget is only 80,000 Good Deed Points.¡±


    Over this period of buying talismans and auxiliary medicine for the


    Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, Chen Mobai¡¯s original 160,000 Good Deed Points given by Tirio had been halved. This time he was planning to participate in the island defense battle and didn¡¯t plan on saving much. The 80,000 Good Deed Points was all he had left..

    Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Five Transformation Umbrellas l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°The price is truly the lowest it can be, you are well aware of the price of gold. Why don¡¯t you take a look at these other two defensive magic weapons instead? They were made by two artifact refiners I know and are a bit cheaper.¡±


    Wu Wan pulled out two detailed, printed verification certificates that illustrated and described two magic artifacts.


    Chen Mobai took a look; one was a long-sleeved law robe and the other was an umbrella.


    The defensive effect of the long-sleeved law robe was better than the helmet, but it did not have the function to improve divine sense, and its price was 89,000 Good Deed Points.


    As for the wooden umbrella, it was the cheapest, requiring only 75,000 Good Deed Points. In fact, its defense was not weak, but it required a high level of skill from the user as its defense could only be activated when completely open.


    However, once the umbrella was unfolded, it would continuously drain the user¡¯s spiritual power, thus it usually needed to be closed when not in use.


    Precisely because of this, Chen Mobai felt this was the right fit for him. Apart from its reasonable price, another reason was that he was a cultivator skilled at manipulation and this magic artifact was in line with the style of the Tianhe Realm. Wu Wan¡¯s golden helmet stood out too much.


    ¡°Is the umbrella from the city, or is it from Weiyu Cave Sky?¡±


    ¡°From the city.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go with this one then. Where is it? Let¡¯s catch a ride there, I want it immediately.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eagerness caught Wu Wan off guard, but since Chen Mobai was willing to cover the fare, Wu Wan had no objections.


    ¡°This is a piece created by a student from the Cinnabarite Institute. The handle and frame of the umbrella are made from Rank-1 Chinese Parasol Tree wood, with the cover of the umbrella is made of Rank-1 talisman paper.¡±


    ¡°Although it¡¯s called a magic artifact, it¡¯s closer to a talisman.¡±


    ¡°There are five defensive talismans drawn on the umbrella¡¯s cover, theoretically defending against Five Elements Spells. However, in my tests, it can at most withstand an attack of the late-stage Qi Cultivation level.¡±


    While waiting for the car, the two discussed the pros and cons of the magic artifact.


    Although Wu Wan didn¡¯t sell his own magic artifact, he was still in a good mood, knowing he¡¯d earn a commission since the umbrella was listed in his online store.


    ¡°This student is quite imaginative. The concept of this Five Elements Umbrella is remarkable, intending to neutralize all Five Elements Spells. It¡¯s just a pity that it tries to cover too much ground. It can defend against Five Elements Spells cast by a cultivator below the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation. Once it surpasses that limit, the defensive talismans will immediately lose balance.¡±


    ¡°However, this umbrella has a secondary function. Once the defensive talisman fails, you can find a talisman maker to redraw the talisman you want, changing it into an offensive tool.¡±


    ¡°Of course, I won¡¯t write this in the verification certificate. If the authorities come to investigate, I will definitely argue that you, the buyer, illegally modified it.¡±


    Wu Wan¡¯s pointers greatly expanded Chen Mobai¡¯s horizons, and he admired the design of the ¡°Five Elements Umbrella¡±.


    This magic artifact can be called a ¡°half talisman¡±, and it can change its function by replacing its cover and the talismans drawn on it. If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t received such hints from Wu Wan, he would have never been able to come up with this ingenious concept.


    After spending 260 Good Deed Points on a taxi to the Cinnabarite Institute, the student who received Wu Wan¡¯s notification was already waiting at the gate.


    The two introduced themselves.


    ¡°My name is Luan Jingsheng, a sophomore student.¡±


    ¡°Chen Mobai, a commoner.¡±


    Luan Jingsheng was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He didn¡¯t speak much and seemed quite attached to the wooden umbrella when he took it out.


    The two added each other as friends. Chen Mobai immediately paid the Good Deed Points to Wu Wan¡¯s online shop in front of Luan Jingsheng. After obtaining the wooden umbrella, he left without concerning himself with how Wu Wan and Luan Jingsheng would settle their accounts.


    His priority was to earn points, and for that, he paid an extra 3750 Good Deed Points in taxes.


    In the future, even if the Immortal Tax Bureau audits him, he, as the payer, would have all his procedures in order and wouldn¡¯t face any problems. Even if Wu Wan gets into trouble for tax evasion, he himself would remain innocent.


    Chen Mobai got another taxi back home, and then teleported to Green Light Island, arriving just in time, with one hour and one cup of tea to spare.


    Luan Jingsheng had also included a long cloth bag with the umbrella, and also said that if there were any issues in the future, he could contact him anytime for maintenance. From their initial interaction, Chen Mobai felt that Luan Jingsheng was a decent person who he could consider collaborating with in the long term.


    Chen Mobai placed the umbrella in the cloth bag. The bag had a string that could be tied around his waistband.


    Chen Mobai also tied his needle box to his left wrist and slipped on his backpack full of more than two hundred talismans. Fully armed, he headed to the manager, Wang¡¯s office. He was the one who rented him the wooden house, so Chen Mobai was very familiar with the route.


    When he arrived, he was a bit late and everyone was waiting for him.


    ¡°Sorry about the delay, I had to visit a few friends to buy some magic artifacts and talismans,¡± Chen Mobai immediately apologized. Seeing him fully armed, the impatience of the loose cultivators eased. After all, the better equipped their companion, the safer they felt.


    ¡°Cultivator Chen, there are 28 cultivators in our group, and we are tasked with guarding one node of the ¡®Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡¯, here is the basic information,¡± said the manager, handing Chen Mobai a small booklet. He then patted a green cloth bag around his waist and a floating flying boat appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s a storage pouch!¡± exclaimed one female cultivator, surprised at the nature of Wang¡¯s green cloth bag.


    Even the smallest storage pouch requires 100 spirit stones. Wang¡¯s storage pouch, which was large enough to hold a twenty-meter-long flying boat, was probably worth a Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°This is a special storage pouch that the sect uses to handle large amounts of goods. Uncle Master Zheng gave me one. The daily supply of spirit stones for all the cultivators is inside this pouch,¡± said Wang with a smile, patting his waist bag. His words, however, caused a few loose cultivators in the room to stir.


    Naturally, no one dared to make a move, as aside from Wang, who was at the late stage of Qi Cultivation, there were four other disciples from the Divine Wood Sect at the late stage of Qi Cultivation. They had the situation well in hand.


    However, the sense of longing in their eyes was unavoidable.


    Chen Mobai did the math. In their group of 28, besides the five from the Divine Wood Sect, everyone else was a Loose Cultivator. There were 4, including himself, in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, 7 in the middle stage, and 12 in the early stage.


    The daily payment in spirit stones alone to keep them around would amount to 46 spirit stones a day. For a common beast attack on the island, they would probably have to stand guard for about a month, meaning there were at least a thousand spirit stones in that storage pouch.


    With such wealth on display, it was no wonder the loose cultivators were envious.


    Under Wang¡¯s command, everyone boarded the flying boat. Propelled at an extravagant cost in spirit stones, the flying boat swiftly arrived at the node of the Formation Flag they were tasked to guard.

    It was situated atop a cliff by the shore, and a ten-meter-wide plot of land, enclosed by green stones, had a bare tree planted in the center. After reading the booklet, Chen Mobai knew this to be the Formation Flag.


    The ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡± was the most renowned formation of the Divine Wood Sect, which used trees as Formation Flags. The sect¡¯s main headquarters, Giant Tree Ridge, was fortified with countless Spirit Trees. Therefore, under the creeping onslaught of countless Spirit Trees, even a Nascent Soul Ancestor would not dare to invade carelessly.


    On this Green Light Island, the Divine Wood Sect had transplanted 36 Spirit Trees from the Giant Tree Ridge, and when fully activated, the power could reach Rank-3.


    This was exactly why the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect and the loose cultivators had the confidence to guard the island.


    ¡°They¡¯re coming!¡±

    No need for Manager Wang¡¯s reminder.


    Everyone, as they looked up, could see, on the horizon where the lake met the sky, it was like drops of ink had been spilled. They darkened and spread around in an instant, polluting the canvas of the sky into patches of dark, ominous clouds.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Black Plague Birds!¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately recognized these demonic beasts, they were the ones who forced Qi Hou and himself to flee in fear, and were also the culprits behind Ba Jiang¡¯s sister¡¯s death.


    ¡°Indeed, these beasts are the first to arrive.¡¯


    A disciple of Divine Wood Sect, with a stern complexion, moved to the bare tree and introduced a specially formulated talisman.


    ¡°Everyone, ¡®Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡¯ will sweep around in an instant, but to prevent the beasts from detecting a pattern, as well as to guard against the attacks of Rank-2 beasts, as long as we can withstand, ¡®Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡¯ will not activate again.¡±


    Manager Wang quickly talked about the upcoming tactics. Chen Mobai understood the reasons for this strategy.


    It was written in the booklet given to him earlier.


    Since there is only one Foundation Establishment cultivator on the island for now, there will certainly be more than one Rank-2 demonic beasts on the other side. Above Green Light Island, the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, capable of seriously injuring Rank-2 demonic beasts, is their last trump card.


    Thirty-six Spirit Tree Array Banners, stored with thirty-six ¡°Heavenly Wood


    Divine Light¡±.


    Once activated, if a demonic beast takes a direct hit, even a Rank-2 one, it would cost half its life, and some weaker ones would even be directly blasted into dust.


    However, once these thirty-six ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡± run out, those Rank-2 demonic beasts would no longer fear, they would charge onto Green Light Island recklessly, causing carnage.


    But this ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡± can be restored. The talisman that a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect just introduced into the Spirit Tree Array Banner served this purpose.


    It could allow a Spirit Tree, which has activated ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡±, to quickly absorb spiritual energy from earth veins within two hours, and recharge a ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡±.


    Therefore, the battle of protecting Green Light Island hinges on whether they can deter those Rank- 2 demons with ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡±, while also fending off hordes of demonic beasts as they come swarming onto the island. But the Divine Wood Sect is not lacking in competent people either, they all understand the principle of using reality to hide the illusion, and using illusion to conceal the reality.


    The moment the flock of Black Plague Birds arrived above Green Light Island, four ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Lights¡± instantly soared into the sky.


    One of them was unleashed by the Spirit Tree Array Banner they were protecting.


    Boom!


    Chen Mobai could only feel a surging force, strong enough to crush him, suddenly surge from the depths of the precipice under his feet, and then being completely absorbed by the Spirit Tree surrounded by their small team.


    It was like a bolt from the blue.


    A pillar of clear light, like a sword, ripped through the void.


    Incinerating the oncoming flock of Black Plague Birds, turning thousands of them into plumes of dark red blood mist, staining half the sky red.


    Hostile!


    A sharp cry filled with anger sounded, and Chen Mobai felt a sudden vertigo.


    Once the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique was activated, he immediately regained clarity.


    However, the immortal cultivators around him who had not cultivated their divine sense leaned and staggered, Some with lower cultivation levels were even bleeding from the corners of their mouths and fell on the edge of the cliff.


    ¡°It is a Rank-2 Bird King, and there are three of them!¡±


    Manager Wang glanced at the sky, his face a mix of shock and joy.


    The power of the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡± was indeed extraordinary, It directly inflicted severe injuries on one of the Rank-2 Black Plague Bird Kings, causing it to tumble onto the island. One of them had half of its wing evaporated. Only the fastest one dodged the wide range sweep of the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡±.


    The Rank-2 Bird King that was severely injured and fell onto the island was the one that had just unleashed its last sonic divine skills under Zheng Deming¡¯s attack, causing a significant impact on Chen Mobai and others who were not far away.


    However, it was severely injured after all. This Rank-2 Bird King was finally killed in a mournful manner under the flying sword of Zheng Deming, who was in Foundation Establishment late stage.


    But the death of this Bird King triggered a frenzy among the flock of Black Plague Birds.


    After the sweep of the four ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Lights,¡± hundreds of Black Plague Birds screamed and spit out gusts of wind that turned into knives and arrows. They launched a kamikaze attack towards the west side of Green Light Island, which is where the Bird King fell.


    Prepared Chen Mobai and others immediately displayed their divine skills, some using magic artifacts, some activating talismans, and others directly using spells to attack.


    With a swish!


    Chen Mobai opened the Five Transformation Umbrella hanging from his waist, and let loose his spiritual power for this talisman artifact to soak up. A green haze covered the surface of the umbrella, shielding them from the wind knives and wind arrows falling from the sky!


    These Black Plague Birds were numerous but not very high-quality.


    Chen Mobai even had spare energy to protect the two Qi Practitioners beside him who hadn¡¯t recovered from the Bird King¡¯s sonic attack.


    After resisting the first wave of attack, Black Plague Birds began to use their sharp beaks and wings to attack them, who were guarding by the Spirit Tree. Now it could be seen the difference between big Sect Disciples and Loose Cultivators. The disciples of the Divine Wood Sect were trying to protect the people with low cultivation level around them as much as possible, while most Loose Cultivators only cared for themselves, few cared for others like Chen Mobai.


    Manager Wang, who usually looks cheerful, proven to be ruthless when it comes to combat. He controlled a red flying sword to cut the five Black Plague Birds that rushed to his side into a dozen pieces.


    The other Divine Wood Sect Disciples had their own methods as well. They raised their unified black armor shield for defensively and then threw talismans.


    Thunder, frost, fire, and flames burst out in an instant, turning another twelve Black Plague Birds into corpses.


    Chen Mobai, however, reserved his power and didn¡¯t go all out. He confronted the two Black Plague Birds that rushed in front of him and threw two ¡°Coiling Talismans¡±. Instantly, two tendrils of vines emerged, blocking the two demonic beasts that caught off guard due to their fast speed.

    Then, with a flick of his left sleeve, two golden lights shot out, piercing bloody holes in the foreheads of these two Black Plague Birds.


    At this point, those Qi Practitioners who had been affected by the sonic waves also regained their senses, they either consumed elixirs or used secret techniques, then engaged in combat with the Black Plague Birds that rushed in front of them.


    Because the four ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡± previously swept away most of the Black Plague Birds, the ones that remained were largely restrained by the other two Bird Kings, they didn¡¯t recklessly charge and kill. The remaining flock of Black Plague Birds, due to their leader being killed, lost their sense, resulting in chaotic command.


    Chen Mobai and their group quickly dealt with nearly a hundred Black Plague Birds that had rushed into their area.


    The Black Plague Birds still circling outside the island, spat out another two rounds of wind knives and wind arrows. However, the ones that remained ultimately did not dare to charge onto the island again, they landed on a barren reef about a few miles to the west of Green Light Island, blocking one direction. After the battle, Chen Mobai glanced at the bird corpses scattered around the cliffs, and the black feathers, broken wing fragments floating on the ponds below the cliffs, as well as two Qi Practitioners bawling with their arms severed, and fell silent..

    Translator: 549690339


    A disciple from the Divine Wood Sect immediately took out a prepared ¡°Renewal Talisman¡± from his storage bag and reconnected the arms of the two Qi Practitioners.


    ¡°It¡¯s our first time in battle and everyone is still quite inexperienced, but it¡¯s great that no one died,¡±


    Manager Wang indicated for the two injured Qi Practitioners to rest. If they wanted to continue in the battle, they could return and the Spirit Stones reward would still be available.


    One of them immediately shook his head, indicating that he didn¡¯t want to participate in the battle anymore.


    The other one hesitated, feeling that he was unprepared this time. He was certain that he wouldn¡¯t get injured again if the same situation occurred next time. So, he decided to stay.


    As for the one who left, Manager Wang was gracious. He not only had one of his disciples send him back with the Flying Boat, but also gave him two more ¡°Renewal Talismans¡±.


    Meanwhile, the practitioner who stayed received five ¡°Renewal Talismans¡± and even an additional Spirit Stone as consolation.


    Both of these are at Level-3 Qi Cultivation, which is rather low.


    Manager Wang¡¯s spending spree to reward minor contributions slightly eased the downcast mood caused by the injury.


    ¡°After this battle, I noticed some problems with our coordination. Why don¡¯t we split into teams?¡±


    Manager Wang, whose full name is Wang Yuanwu, demonstrated his impressive skills during the battle. Everyone had faith in his capabilities, hence they all agreed to his proposal of dividing the 27 remaining people into five smaller teams.


    A disciple from the Divine Wood Sect would lead each team, while the rest of the participants could freely form their own teams according to preference.


    Chen Mobai was invited to join Wang Yuanwu¡¯s team, along with three independent cultivators, one of whom was Gao Tuo who decided to stay after being injured.


    The other two members of the team were a pair of fellow cultivators.


    The male was named Shi Pengyi and was at Level-5 Qi Cultivation.


    The female was named Luo Lin and was at Level-3 Qi Cultivation.


    They were from a small cultivation sect and were the two that Chen Mobai had protected earlier. They had volunteered to join this team.


    Wang Yuanwu agreed without much further discussion.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I can¡¯t thank you enough. If it weren¡¯t for you, my fellow cultivator and I might have gotten hurt,¡± Luo Lin said.


    Luo Lin was only in her early twenties, although her clothes had been stained with blood, her bright eyes and white teeth, along with her attractive features, added a touch of beauty to their team.


    If only her cultivation level was higher, she would probably have a lot of admirers.


    Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm are very realistic, even when choosing a cultivation partner, they seek someone with a similar talent and cultivation level.


    This way, they can mutually promote each other and have a positive effect.


    Especially since after reaching the Divine Sense stage, their desire for physical beauty decreases dramatically. Of course, this doesn¡¯t apply to those who particularly enjoy such pleasures of the senses.


    ¡°It was nothing, there¡¯s no need for excessive formalities,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Wang Yuanwu waited for his junior brother who was sending people back to return, gave the remaining five independent cultivators to him, and then walked over to his own team.


    He first comforted Gao Tuo, who was injured, then asked each person to introduce their skills and magic artifacts to form a preliminary coordination plan for the team¡¯s future battles.


    Shi Pengyi possessed a Flying Sword inherited from his sect and five talismans. He was skilled in swordsmanship.


    Luo Lin, a fellow practitioner from the same sect, practiced the same Cultivation Technique but didn¡¯t possess a Flying Sword. She only had a Defensive Magic Weapon made from the shell of a Black Armored Turtle, which she bought from the Green Light Island Market.


    Gao Tuo, on the other hand, despite being a solo cultivator, had a hook-shaped Magic Artifact, a Hand Crossbow and eighteen Spirit Arrows. Each arrow was powerful enough to kill a cultivator below Level-3 Qi Cultivation.


    Surprisingly, Gao Tuo¡¯s wealth seemed to surpass Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin, which might explain why he dared to stay even after his unsuccessful cultivation.


    ¡°I have a few talisman, one offensive and one defensive Magic Artifact,¡± Chen Mobai said, conservatively commenting on his equipment. He had just used an umbrella to block a barrage of wind blade and wind arrow attacks and a Flying Needle to kill two Black Plague Birds.


    Shi Pengyi and Brother and Sister Luo Lin had previously seen his equipment and knew it was exceptional.


    ¡°Friend Chen, how many talismans do you have on you?¡±


    Wang Yuanwu asked the most crucial question.


    After the battle started, talismans would become consumables; use one less one. He needed to know the precise number to grasp their actual fighting strength on their side.


    ¡°Well, I did not count them specifically, probably dozens of them.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated and still didn¡¯t tell the truth.


    But even so, it surprised the cultivators of this squad. Wang Yuanwu, as the leader of this team guarding the Spiritual Tree Array Banners, also only had about eighty talismans, including those distributed by the sect.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Friend Chen. I will keep in mind the talismans you consume in battle, and once the demonic beasts are repelled, I will apply to the sect to compensate you.¡±


    Wang Yuanwu¡¯s words made Chen Mobai very comfortable. After all, he was receiving five Spirit Stones as daily wages. The loss of talismans during battle already included that.


    But to lift the team¡¯s morale, Wang Yuanwu was generous, or perhaps it was the sect that paid the spirit stones, and he was just saying it.


    ¡°During our team¡¯s fight, Friend Chen and I will take the lead and end, and the other three Friends will be positioned between us. Will this work?¡±


    As it was their first time cooperating and they lacked mutual understanding, this straightforward tactic was perfect.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai and the other three immediately nodded their agreement.


    At that moment.


    With a ¡°swoosh¡± sound!


    A talisman flew towards Wang Yuanwu. His face changed slightly, and he immediately caught it.


    ¡°Prepare for battle, many Water Serpent Bulls and Black Armored Turtles have been detected in the east-side water pool of the island. These Black Plague Birds may cooperate with them and attack the island.¡±


    After reading the information contained in the talisman, Wang Yuanwu immediately shouted out loud.


    All the cultivators that were originally resting began to move without hesitation, each stuffing a pill that could restore spiritual power into their mouths.


    Afterward, everyone stood in their assigned positions around the Spirit Tree according to newly formed squads, effectively occupying all areas of this cliff.


    A rumbling noise!


    On the east side of Green Light Island, five beams of Sacred Tree Divine Light, like divine swords stretching toward the sky, heavily struck the surface of the boundless pool. This caused enormous waves, carrying countless carcasses of demonic beasts to the shore.


    Not far away, nearly a thousand remaining Black Plague Birds rose from the wasteland, spreading wide. With angry, piercing screams, they started to roll towards this side.


    ¡°These damn beasts really don¡¯t fear death!¡±


    One of the Loose Cultivators spat and then picked up a Black Armor Shield, imbuing it with spiritual power and positioning it at the front of their team.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, surprised that these casualties at this magnitude did not cause the Black Plague Birds to shrink back in fear. Or perhaps the death of their king made these demonic beasts go utterly mad.


    Regardless, the most important thing now was to deal with this upcoming battle.


    In this area, they still had five beams of Sacred Tree Divine Light left unused.

    But Wang Yuanwu had stated earlier that unless a Rank-2 demonic beast attacked or their western line came close to collapsing, they absolutely would not use them again.


    That is to say, they at least needed to hold on for two hours while the Spiritual Tree Array Banners recharged.


    ¡°Protect yourselves well, and leave the protection of the Spirit Tree to Manager Wang and me.¡±


    Chen Mobai reminded the three people stationed between him and Wang Yuanwu. After that, he pinched four Green Arrow Talismans with his right hand and, stimulated by spiritual power, flung them into mid-air.


    A total of 24 green Spirit Qi Long Arrows appeared behind him from thin air..

 Chapter 91 - Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Lingye_l

    Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Lingye_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai spread his five fingers toward the void.


    In the humming sound.


    The green spirit qi long arrow emerging from the void behind him burst out in an instant.


    Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!


    The five black plague birds that had just rushed up the cliff were repelled, followed by the explosion of green arrows, shattering them into puffs of blood mist.


    Whir!


    On the other side, Wang Yuanwu also unleashed his fury, his fire red flying sword danced like flames, directing its violent spiritual power towards a flock of black plague birds in the sky. In no time, several demonic beasts that could not evade were turned into charcoal.


    The trio of Gao Tuo each launched their own attacks.


    A crossbow arrow flew out accurately killing a black plague bird. However, there was no time to reload after that. Gao Tuo could only drag his freshly reattached, stiff and barely movable right hand and command his hook-shaped magic artifact to fight against the black plague bird right in front of him.


    Fortunately, there was Shi Pengyi¡¯s brother and sister on his side.


    Luo Lin held a black armor shield, her lithe form easily helping them to block the Gale Arrow spewed out from the mouth of the black plague bird.


    Shi Pengyi displayed the strength of a fifth level Qi Cultivation. A purple flying sword under his control, moved back and forth like a lightning bolt, suppressing and killing the black plague birds that had bypassed Chen Mobai and Wang Yuanwu.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai nodded slightly, then completely released the remaining 18 spirit arrows from behind him.


    Within the thunderous sounds.


    The sky above the cliff in their area was completely cleared in an instant.


    ¡°The Rank-2 ones are coming!¡±


    As everyone was taking a sigh of relief, Wang Yuanwu¡¯s face turned serious.


    To his shock, Chen Mobai looked up into the sky beyond Green Light Island, and sure enough, two giant birds, three to four times larger than the ordinary black plague birds, appeared in the clouds. One of them, a Black Plague Bird King, only had one wing left. Its eyes were bright red, coldly staring at them.


    Previously, it was the ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡± emitted from the Spirit Tree they were guarding that evaporated its wing, almost knocking it out of the sky.


    ¡°Everyone be alert, protect yourselves.¡±


    ¡°There are still five strands of Sacred Tree Divine Light left on the West Bank. After the bird king lost one wing, the remaining two, without full confidence, absolutely dare not get close.¡±


    ¡°But next, we may have to face the direct guards of black plague birds equivalent to the late stages of Qi Cultivation around the Bird King. But no matter how dangerous, we absolutely cannot let our front lines fall.¡±


    Seeing our Spirit tree eyed by the Bird King, Wang Yuanwu couldn¡¯t help but sweat from the brow. However, his extensive experiences serve him well. Despite the tremendous pressure, he carefully assessed the situation and gave orders.


    Amid the roar.


    As expected, a group of large birds, twice the size of ordinary black plague birds, left the side of the bird king, riding the wind toward them.


    Boom!


    Before the big bird arrived, a huge tornado began forming on the shore, stirring up the violent waves, pushing it towards the Spirit Tree on the cliff.


    Those two bird kings were using their innate divine ability to apply pressure on behalf of their direct guards, while also testing whether Green Light Island still had a trump card.


    Seeing this giant tornado, which was so large that it could sweep over the entire cliff where they were standing, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but change his expression.


    He gripped his last trump card, the Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman.


    But he first looked at Wang Yuanwu, sure enough, even he had a Rank-2 spirit talisman, and this leader of the Divine Wood sect definitely had more up his sleeve.


    Wang Yuanwu grit his teeth and nodded at an other disciple of the Divine Wood Sect. The latter immediately took out a charm and injected it into the Spirit Tree.


    Whoosh!


    As if a gentle breeze had passed, right after the charm was injected, a branch of the previously bare spirit tree emitted a clear glow. In the blink of an eye, a green bud sprouted, then rapidly grew into a palm-sized leaf.


    Wang Yuanwu flicked his flying sword and the green leaf was cut down.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    After taking a healing pill that restored his spiritual power, a Divine Wood Sect disciple imbued all his spiritual power into the cut green leaf. Instantly, a clear light shone dramatically, forming a huge light shield that covered the entire cliff.


    Just then, two rank-2 bird kings unleashed a massive tornado, bringing a storm with it.


    Boom boom boom!


    Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, Chen Mobai braced himself with the wooden umbrella in his hand, stabilising his figure.


    [The functions of this Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation are quite diverse!]


    This thought crossed his mind. He wondered if there were any other functions besides the Heavenly Wood Divine Light and the Green Leaf Light Shield?


    ¡°The big birds are coming, a total of 20. Each team takes on four, those in the later stage of Qi cultivation go first. The remaining Black Plague Birds are handled by the other members of each team, remember to protect yourselves!¡± Wang Yuanwu quickly delegated the tasks and was the first to act. He swung his Fire Red Flying Sword, enclosing the three big birds flying in front.


    Chen Mobai gritted his teeth, selecting one of the big birds.


    However, seeing the almost hundred ordinary Black Plague Birds led by these big birds, he feared that the other members of the team might not be able to handle them. Before engaging the big bird in battle, he unleashed four Green Arrow Talismans again.


    Amidst the resounding bangs¨C


    The big bird in front of Chen Mobai spewed out a gust of wind, directly shattering the green spirit Qi long arrows. But the remaining 23 targeted a large flock of Black Plague Birds rushing from its side.


    Blood splattered, black feathers flying.


    After clearing out once, Chen Mobai held his wooden umbrella, facing off against this Black Plague Bird that was a full meter in size.


    Humming!


    Two green wind blades extended from the Black Plague Bird¡¯s fluttering wings, like two crescent moon blades, striking down towards Chen Mobai¡¯s head from different directions.


    The umbrella opened!


    The mist that wrapped around the umbrella seemed to struggle under the impact of the wind blades, exploding and partially collapsing, but ultimately, it dissolved the attack.


    ¡°Good thing these big birds, while strong in bloodlines, don¡¯t understand cultivation. Their spell power hasn¡¯t exceeded the limits of the wooden umbrella.¡±


    Wu Wan¡¯s expertise in treasure appraisal is trustworthy. He said that this defensive magic artifact could handle an attack from a late-stage Qi cultivator.


    It was able to withstand the Black Plague Bird, clearly at the peak of rank-1.


    But it seemed to be its limit.


    Chen Mobai looked at the two streaks of damage on the umbrella after he retracted it, deciding that he would primarily dodge in the next phase of the fight.


    After all, he wasn¡¯t Wang Yuanwu, who was at the peak of Qi cultivation, had exceptional swordsmanship, extensive battle experience, and had talismans and magic artifacts provided by the Divine Wood Sect. He could take on three big birds alone without falling behind.


    Roar!


    After the two wind blades were dissolved, the big bird spat out a series of Gale Arrows. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to hard block them with the wooden umbrella again, so he threw out two Wooden Shield charms.

    However, how could a lower-grade rank-1 talisman possibly block the Gale Arrows of the big bird? In just two breaths, the two wooden shields floating in mid-air crumbled and disappeared into spirit Qi.


    However, Chen Mobai had taken advantage of this time to move to another location.


    The Gale Arrows fell void, stirring up a cloud of dust on the cliff.


    At this point, all five teams had begun to fight. However, not everyone was powerful or lucky. Soon Chen Mobai heard a terrifying scream.


    Someone had died..

    Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Black Feather Shield_l


    Translator: 549690339


    However, Chen Mobai no longer had the spare attention to focus on others. He concentrated wholeheartedly on the large bird hovering in mid-air,


    Zi zi zi!


    As dust flew, six earth-yellow flying needles shot out from Chen Mobai¡¯s sleeve, aimed at the fast approaching bird.


    Ding ding ding!


    A Rank-1 peak demonic beast, the strongest opponent Chen Mobai had faced since he arrived in the Tianhe Realm.


    When the six flying needles reached the bird, black feathers stood up on its body, forming a spiritual power shield, deflecting the needles.


    [Its wings can unleash wind blades, its mouth can spit wind arrows, the feathers covering its body have been cultivated into a kind of defensive shield. The most likely weak points are its eyes and claws.]


    Though Chen Mobai had limited combat experience, he seemed to have a unique natural talent, quickly growing amidst fierce battles.


    He tested the power of the wind blades with his Five Elements umbrella, used the flying needles to trigger the Black Feather Shield, already forming data about the bird¡¯s battle capabilities and innate divine ability.


    [Let¡¯s test it.]


    Chen Mobai watched the black bird with red eyes charge toward him ferociously, spiritual power rotating, he activated two Wooden Shield charms.


    The green wooden shield only held up for a moment before it was shattered by the wind blade. But the Five Elements umbrella opened in time, absorbing two weakened wind blades head on, draining a considerable amount of spiritual power.


    Although using talisman consumes little spiritual power, he couldn¡¯t sustain it if he used too many.


    Up till now, Chen Mobai had thrown out nearly twenty talismans.


    And, the Five Elements umbrella, a talisman instrument, consumed more spiritual power than he had anticipated.


    No wonder it was so cheap.


    Chen Mobai estimated his remaining spiritual power, which was less than 70%. He decided to use the Five Elements umbrella sparingly in the future.


    At this moment, the Black Plague Bird charged at him ferociously once again.


    Instantly, he threw out a Green Arrow Talisman and a Coiling Talisman, then from his sleeve, four flying needles shot out. With a piercing sound, they accurately targeted the bird¡¯s eyes and claw palms.


    A loud cry echoed.


    The bird¡¯s black feathers stood upright, a spiritual power shield appeared again, but it closed its eyes, curling up its claws.


    All spirit Qi long arrows and flying needles were blocked by the Black Feather spiritual power shield. Only the Coiling Talisman had an effect, restraining the bird with vines that sprang from the cliff rocks. It barely managed to hold for an instant before the bird chopped it into several pieces with its wing.


    [As expected, I am correct.]


    Chen Mobai was elated at the sight. The Black Plague Bird deliberately avoided its eyes and claw palms from getting attacked.


    The weak points of the Black Feather Shield should be these four places.


    At this point, another scream echoed in his ears. It seemed that another cultivator was seriously injured.


    Chen Mobai had no choice but to operate the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique, suppressing all his strange emotions and focusing completely on the battle with the monster at hand.


    He uncapped a bottle of Dark Water from his pocket and took a breath, mobilizing his spiritual power to Level 12.


    The ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡± was ready to go.


    At the same time, Chen Mobai threw out ten Coiling Talismans and ten Poison Talismans all at once. Ten vine branches drilled into the rocks of the cliff on one end and wrapped around the body of the Black Plague Bird, which had been predictably charging in a straight line, at the other end.


    Just as the bird was about to flap its wings to cut off these restraints, it suddenly felt its bones soften and movements stiffen.


    The Poison Talisman doesn¡¯t actually contain poison. Instead, it manipulates the enemy¡¯s internal Wood Qi, causing an imbalance in the five elements that were originally in equilibrium.


    This talisman is not lethal. One just needs to sit in meditation for a while to recover.


    But Chen Mobai sought exactly this moment of stiffness.


    With a breath, the last two Flying Needles in the Needle box fell before him. All the Dark Water formed two spiral ice spears around the Flying Needles, which then shot out at their fastest speed, impaling the immobilized Bird¡¯s eyes.


    Malicious!


    Even by timely closing its eyes and employing the Black Feather Shield, the Black Plague Bird¡¯s eyelids were pierced by the ice spears under Chen Mobai¡¯s full-force Cold Ice Technique, causing an unprecedented shrill scream.


    The raging demonic energy made the Bird shatter ten vines instantaneously. Constantly fluttering, it let loose a flurry of Wind Blades in all directions. The incoming Green Arrow Talismans were shattered in the process.


    Whoosh!


    Faced with this wide-ranging attack, Chen Mobai had no choice but to open the Five Transformations Umbrella again. After dissolving a Wind Blade, he risked depleting his Spiritual Power and melted the ice spears back into Dark Water using the Water Controlling Technique.


    The ten Flying Needles scattered by the Black Feather Shield, drawn by the magnetism of the Needle box, once again converged before him.


    Whew!


    The Cold Ice Technique was launched again, ten slightly smaller but more slender and sharp ice spears buzzed and pierced the Black Plague Bird, whose entire body had now become bloodied sockets.


    Having exhausted its Spiritual Power in the last outbreak, the Bird couldn¡¯t summon the Black Feather Shield against this wave of attack.


    It gave a mournful scream, was penetrated by the ten ice spears, and fell from the mid-air onto the cliff.


    However, just before dying, the Bird exploded with a sonic attack similar to the dead Bird king¡¯s, causing all the cultivators on the cliff to shudder.


    Finally, it ended!


    Chen Mobai resisted the dizziness from the sonic attack, felt the less than half remaining Spiritual Power in his Dantian, smiled bitterly, and immediately motivated a ¡°Resurrection Talisman¡±.


    In an instant, all the negative impacts from the sonic wave disappeared. Moreover, the Spiritual Power in the Dantian, like water from a spring, began to flow out slowly.


    Chen Mobai estimated that he could recover about ten percent of his Spiritual Power every minute. He expected to be fully recovered in about ten minutes¡¯ time.


    This was his first use of the ¡°Resurrection Talisman¡±. The feeling of replenishment after the Dantian was drained was quite novel.


    By now, he finally had the opportunity to observe the rest of the battlefield.


    Wang Yuanwu was single-handedly fighting against three, and in addition to his Red Sword, he had now brought out a Rank-1 shield. He had already killed a Bird, but it might take him some effort to fully eliminate them.


    Gao Tuo and the others were engaged in a tough battle.


    But Chen Mobai only glanced briefly before turning his attention. Near the cliff, the bodies of three cultivators lay about. A small team was about to collapse.


    However, there was one small team that had achieved considerable results, having jointly killed two Birds. A late-stage Qi Cultivator was available to lend assistance.


    Chen Mobai and he exchanged glances, nodded, and then moved to help the small team that had lost three cultivators.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Boom! Boom!


    At this moment, eight beams of Sacred Tree Divine Light exploded simultaneously on both the southern and northern shores of Green Light Island!


    The deep thunderous crashes accompanied the staggering demonic energy. Countless demonic beasts were ready to kill.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face turned pale!


    He didn¡¯t expect that the battle to protect the island would reach the most intense stage on the first day itself..

 Chapter 93 - Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Three Sword Lights (Seeking First

    Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Three Sword Lights (Seeking First


    Order)_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Eight crystal clear divine lights, like massive swords, split the surface of the lake.


    Astonishing demonic aura erupted, with two powerful demonic beasts managing to withstand the Heavenly Wood Divine Light and rushing onto Green Light Island.


    Zheng Deming blocked one of the Rank-2 demonic beasts.


    However, no one could stop the muscular demonic beast with two horns, a humanoid upper body, and a serpent lower body. A small team of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Qi Practitioners fought to push it back into the water, but even with their magic artifacts and talisman scripts all put to use, they only managed to force it three steps back.


    The cost was the complete annihilation of the Divine Wood Sect cultivators in the team.


    ¡°Not good, the demonic beasts have made it to the island, it¡¯s not good to use the Heavenly Wood Divine Light now,¡± Wang Yuanwu, who had just slain three Black Plague Birds, turned around anxiously after seeing on the southern shore of Green Light Island the powerful beast that had broken through the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s defense line and destroyed a Spirit Tree Array Banner.


    [Can¡¯t the Heavenly Wood Divine Light be launched within the covered area of the formation? Or is it feared that its might is too big and will damage the spirit vein on the island, affecting our people?]


    Listening to Wang Yuanwu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai, while teaming up with others to deal with two Black Plague birds, was secretly mulling it over in his heart.


    During their anxious moments, suddenly, three powerful sword lights shot out from the teleportation array within Green Light Island, simultaneously plunging into various parts of the muscular beast¡¯s body.


    Then, in an instant, the sword lights shone brightly, cutting the nearly invincible beast into more than ten pieces.


    ¡°Have the elders from our Sect arrived?¡±


    Seeing this, Wang Yuanwu was both surprised and overjoyed.


    After a moment of astonishment, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression cleared.


    Yes, as one of the seven major sects in the Eastern Wilderness, Divine Wood Sect has quite a few Foundation Establishment masters. Given the onslaught of demonic beasts on Green Light Island, they¡¯d definitely send people to help with the defense.


    Holding the teleportation array, it¡¯s possible that even Core Formation cultivators could show up at the critical moment.


    Perhaps these reinforcement elders have already arrived, just waiting for the Rank-2 demonic beasts to set foot on the island and fall into the trap.


    Sure enough, after these three sword lights killed the half-human, half-serpent beast, they turned towards the other Rank-2 demonic beast that was fiercely battling with Zheng Deming. Seeing its predicament, the beast tried to escape, but the trapping function of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation activated, slowing down its movements.


    Three sword lights crisscrossed forth and back in pursuit, working with Zheng Deming, with all four Foundation Establishment cultivators attacking simultaneously.


    Amid the splattered blood, they managed to kill the demonic beast on the island in merely the time taken to brew a cup of tea.


    Only then did Chen Mobai breathe a sigh of relief.


    He had thought of running away when the demonic beasts were wreaking havoc on the island.


    Just as the beasts on the island were being slain, the two Black Plague Bird Kings circling above the water on their west wing let out a clear cry.


    It seemed like a signal to retreat.


    Then, the large birds, which were still attacking Chen Mobai and his group, spat out a large series of Gale Arrows. From cliff to sea, they washed over them like a storm, before collectively flying into the sky. They led the surviving flock of Black Plague Birds and left Green Light Island.


    ¡°Kill as many as possible, and reduce the burden for future battles,¡± Wang Yuanwu, with a resolute face, said as he chased the last Black Plague Birds with his Flying Sword.


    The remaining cultivators on the cliff also sent a flurry of crossbow arrow talismans, coordinating their attack.


    Chen Mobai teamed up with the late-stage Qi Practitioner, and took the opportunity to kill a large bird. Then he threw two Green Arrow Talismans, knocking down three escaping Black Plague Birds.


    But they were all sensible people and didn¡¯t leave the cliff area to pursue them.


    When the Black Plague Birds were completely out of their attack range, everyone finally breathed a complete sigh of relief.


    Yet, the atmosphere was still a bit heavy.


    On just the first day of defending the island, five cultivators had forever closed their eyes.


    ¡°Junior Brother Qi, please cremate these five comrades. After the war, we will return their remains according to the roster to their families. If they have no family, we will find a good Feng Shui spot on the island for their burial,¡± said Wang Yuanwu to a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, who immediately nodded in acknowledgment.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s emotions were very complex.


    Because one member of his team had also sacrificed their life.


    It was Gao Tuo who had been injured on his arm before. In such a battle, his Level-3 Qi cultivation was clearly inadequate.


    Even Luo Lin, who was at the same cultivation level and under the care of Shi Pengyi, had turned pale with one of her arms drooping.


    She had been using the Black Armor Shield to resist the Gale Arrows of the Black Plague Birds. Not only was her spiritual power exhausted, but her right hand could not bear the strain and was broken. If these birds attacked again, she would likely die.


    Renewal talismans were distributed to each cultivator.


    Chen Mobai received both a Consciousness Talisman and a Life Recovery Talisman. After he took them, he went to Gao Tuo¡¯s body and closed his still open eyes.


    Watching the blazing fire swallow up the five cultivators who had been laughing and talking before, Chen Mobai felt lost.


    Is this what war is like?


    Having lived on Earth from a young age, he had never experienced such a situation where people in their prime would be parted forever.


    He looked at the other surviving cultivators. While their faces held sorrow, their eyes revealed a sense of familiarity with the situation.


    The life of cultivators in this world was really hard.


    Chen Mobai thought this way in his heart, but he couldn¡¯t say it out loud.


    All he could do was stand by the cremation and watch Gao Tuo¡¯s body disappear, turning into ashes.


    ¡°Chen, my friend, we may need to rearrange our teams,¡± said Wang Yuanwu.


    ¡°Whatever you arrange, I have no objections,¡± Chen Mobai nodded slightly, not wanting Wang Yuanwu to notice that his emotions were a bit different from theirs.


    ¡°Well, four comrades have decided not to participate in the defense due to severe injuries, leaving us with only 18 people,¡± he continued.


    ¡°I plan to split us into four small teams, each with four comrades. Junior Brother Liu and I will act as mobile support, ready to assist you at any time during the battles.¡±


    ¡°You, Shi Peng and Luo Lin will remain a team, and after I leave, Junior Brother Qi will join you,¡± Wang Yuanwu suggested, demonstrating his careful thought, to which Chen Mobai agreed.


    Junior Brother Liu was the Divine Wood Sect disciple who could manipulate the Spiritual Tree Array Banners with talismans, and he was rumored to be an Array Master. Having him and Wang Yuanwu in charge would undoubtedly give them a greater sense of security.


    As for Junior Brother Qi, he was a sturdily built cultivator with a square face.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai had just cooperated with him to kill a Black Plague Bird, and their coordination was quite good.


    At the edge of a cliff, the newly formed teams gathered together.


    Luo Lin, with a trace of color returning to her face, tested moving her blood, her broken bones reconnected by the effects of the Renewal Talisman.


    Shi Pengyi, however, was meditating beside her, fervently taking every opportunity to cultivate.


    ¡°My name is Qi Rui. I practice the Red Flame Sword Technique, and I am also a Talisman Maker,¡± introduced the new disciple from Divine Wood Sect..

 Chapter 94 - Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Orthodox Foundation Building

    Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Orthodox Foundation Building


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Qi Rui, when I was out hunting demonic beasts with Qi Hou, I saw him use a Crimson Flame Sword Talisman. It was extremely powerful,¡± said Chen Mobai after hearing Qi Rui¡¯s introduction, which immediately sparked his interest in the subject.


    Qi Hou? He is a candidate for being a true disciple of our Divine Wood Sect. There¡¯s a chance he may receive a Foundation Building Pill from the next batch if there are extras,¡± Qi Rui explained, admiration evident on his face as he mentioned Qi Hou.


    ¡°Oh, aren¡¯t the Foundation Building Pills of the Divine Wood Sect simply exchanged for enough contribution points?¡± said Chen Mobai, noticing Qi Rui seemed open for conversation and attempting to learn more about the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that simple. To concoct an orthodox Foundation Building Pill, a millennial Golden Jade Ganoderma is needed. Our Divine Wood Sect inherited the largest medicinal garden, Giant Tree Ridge, from the Five Elements Sect. Thanks to the foresight of our forefathers, we have a significant number of ganoderma planted, but we can only harvest about ten mature millennium Golden Jade Ganoderma every decade,¡± explained Qi Rui.


    In theory, you can produce ten pills from one concoction of the orthodox Foundation Building Pill. If we get eight or nine, then we are already very fortunate. During the time when the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff split from the Five Elements Sect, it had been agreed that every time the Golden Jade Ganoderma matures, Golden Cliff would receive three,¡± he added. ¡°After the split, the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff fought with the remaining three branches of the Five Elements Sect for twenty years. Eventually, everyone got tired of fighting. We agreed to cease battles. One of the conditions for the Five Elements Sect to recognize the independence of our Divine Wood Sect was that whenever the Golden Jade Ganoderma in Giant Tree Ridge matures, they also get three,¡± he explained.


    ¡°The Foundation Building Pills of all three sects are concocted by the Back to Sky Valley. After each batch, regardless of the quantity produced, the Valley takes one pill. In a decade, our Divine Wood Sect would be able to stock about 30 Foundation Building Pills in the warehouse,¡± Qi Rui added.


    ¡°There are at least a hundred disciples in the Divine Wood Sect of the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation. To be as fair as possible, these 30 Foundation Building Pills should be distributed through contribution points. One can exchange their contribution points for one, but the more contribution points you have, the higher the probability you can get one,¡± he informed.


    These basic sect-knowledge were simple to disciples from the Divine Wood Sect but were precious knowledge to Chen Mobai and Shi Pengyi, who listened with great interest.


    ¡°Golden Jade Ganoderma¡± must be Tianhe Realm¡¯s term. Over at Di Yuan star, it¡¯s called Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom. Quite similar, thought Chen Mobai as Qi Rui started explaining the ranking of the true disciples in the Divine Wood Sect, which was actually the order of obtaining the Foundation Building Pills.    5


    Though Qi Hou wasn¡¯t in the list of top twenty-four true disciples, he had a rather profound cultivation level and he was also a disciple of a Foundation Establishment elder with the surname Xi in the Divine Wood Sect. If there are extras from the next batch of Foundation Building Pills, he could possibly be prioritized.


    The elder named Xi.


    Chen Mobai remembered a quite delicate youth named Xi, who was likely the blood descendant of that elder.


    No wonder Qi Hou was willing to take him into Yun Meng Ze for training. They were fellow disciples.


    ¡°Qi Dao friend, I heard that besides using millennial Golden Jade Ganoderma as the main ingredient, there¡¯s another method to concoct Foundation Building Pill,¡± Luo Lm suddenly asked a question which Chen Mobai had great interest in.


    ¡®Right, using the Golden Jade Ganoderma as the main ingredient is the orthodox way to concoct the Foundation Building Pill. There¡¯s another way which is using a demonic beast¡¯s inner core. But this method has a low success rate and the beasts capable of forming the inner core are usually at least Rank-2 at their peak, making them extremely difficult to hunt,¡± replied Qi Rui, nodding.


    Chen Mobai was hearing this for the first time and asked with great interest. It was usual for him as a loose cultivator to be unaware of such details, and the other three in their group had no reason to suspect otherwise. Both Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin also heard this from their masters.


    Their small sect¡¯s Grandmaster had successfully reached the Foundation Establishment level by taking a Foundation Building Pill made from the inner core of a demonic beast. He then recorded this experience in the sect¡¯s secret chronicles, and his story has been passed down to this day.


    ¡°The two demonic beasts that were killed on Green Light Island this time, I feel they were both at the peak of Rank-2, and perhaps they have already formed their inner cores. If that is true, then there might be a few extra Foundation Building Pills in this batch.¡±


    As Qi Rui said this, he was somewhat envious. However, his Cultivation Level was merely at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation. Even if he does accumulate enough contribution points, he might not necessarily qualify when the time comes.


    ¡°Is there a difference between a Foundation Building Pill made from a demonic beast s inner core and a traditional Foundation Building Pill?¡±


    ¡°There is a difference, but the effects are similar. However, one such batch can only produce two or three pills at the most, and the auxiliary ingredients cannot be short of any. It is a bit uneconomical.¡± As he said this, Qi Rui couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, ¡°Back to Sky Valley is reluctant to refine this type of Foundation Building Pill, as refining it will delay an alchemist¡¯s Cultivation Level for a year. Given the same amount of time, they would rather refine traditional Foundation Building Pills.¡±


    However, it is precisely because of this that the other alchemists of the Eastern Wilderness have a value proposition.


    Back to Sky Valley may be unwilling to refine Foundation Building Pills with the demonic beast¡¯s inner core as the main ingredient, but other alchemists are eager for it.


    The main goal of the East Wilderness Major Sect and even the Immortal Cultivation clans in training their own alchemists is ultimately in order to refine such Foundation Building Pills.


    However, after listening to their conversation, Chen Mobai felt that the decision-makers of Back to Sky Valley were far-sighted.


    After all, if they really monopolized the refinement of Foundation Building Pills, it¡¯s likely that Back to Sky Valley¡¯s status wouldn¡¯t be so transcendental as it is now. They would definitely be targeted by the other six major sects, and might even face destruction.


    ¡°Qi Daoist friend, do you know when the next batch of Golden Jade Ganoderma in the Divine Wood Sect will mature?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked a question, drawing the curious gazes of the rest of the team.


    Ahem, Daoist friend, you may not be able to wait for it. The Golden Jade Ganoderma matured this year and has already been sent to Back to Sky Valley. The new disciples will join next year, which is when this batch of Foundation Building Pills will enter the sect¡¯s storehouse, ready for exchange.¡± Qi Rui understood Chen Mobai¡¯s implications and somberly spoke.


    The Divine Wood Sect recruits disciples once every ten years, which coincides with the time it takes to refine Foundation Building Pills. They do this to ensure that each generation¡¯s succession is orderly.


    Even though Chen Mobai is an exceptional talent, he would have to wait for the next ten years to compete for those Foundation Building Pills.


    ¡°What about the Foundation Building Pills made from the inner core of the demonic beast?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about this, and continued to ask.


    The three seniors who came to the rescue, judging by the Sword Light, two of them are likely teachers from Golden Cliff. The inner cores of the two peak Rank-2 demonic beasts that were killed today will probably be evenly distributed, with one going to them. The remains of this batch should produce two Foundation Building Pills, but among all the disciples in the sect who have enough contribution points, there are at least twenty to thirty senior brothers and sisters waiting after the twenty-four true Disciples.¡±

    As Qi Rui spoke these words, he too sighed slightly.


    He was also aiming for the batch of traditional Foundation Building Pills ten years from now. However, even if he attains Qi Cultivation Perfection by then, he might not be able to compete with these experienced senior brothers and sisters.


    ¡°Has there been any exceptions? Like someone who upon joining the sect immediately assured a Foundation Building Pill?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with reluctance.


    It¡¯s not unheard of. Ten years ago, when we were recruiting disciples, we took in a genius with a Heavenly Spiritual Root from a small sect. Our respected elder came out of seclusion personally and awarded this disciple a Foundation Building Pill..¡±

 Chapter 95 - Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Dual Phase Power_l

    Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Dual Phase Power_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Heavenly Spiritual Root!


    At this point, Chen Mobai fell into silent contemplation.


    He thought of the unused Wood Spiritual Talisman he had stowed away, an idea sparked in his mind, but immediately he mocked himself for his fanciful thinking.


    ¡°Friend Qi, I wonder when this battle for the island will end. Although I have already reached Qi Cultivation seventh layer, my combative methods are still lacking. Do you have any spare Crimson Flame Sword Talismans to sell me?¡± After a bit of conversation, Chen Mobai once again returned to their initial topic.


    The Crimson Flame Sword Talisman was powerful, Qi Rui had used one in the battle just now, slaying a Black Plague Bird.


    Moreover, it had directly shattered the Black Feather Shield.


    In comparison to Chen Mobai, who had to exhaust all means, including his cultivation techniques and the assistance of the Cold Ice Technique, Qi Rui seemed at ease.


    ¡°You¡¯ve asked the right person. In our sect, besides completing tasks, I rely on making talismans to earn Spirit Stones.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qi Rui¡¯s eyes brightened, and he immediately pulled out three Crimson Flame Sword Talismans from his storage bag.


    ¡°One talisman costs 8 Spirit Stones within our sect, but it¡¯s sold for 10 Spirit Stones in the Fang Market shops. I¡¯ll give you the internal price. How many do you want?¡±


    ¡°I can only afford one.¡±


    Chen Mobai rummaged through his bag and reluctantly took out eight Spirit Stones.


    Qi Rui accepted them with a laugh, handed him one Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, and carefully explained the essentials and techniques of using it.


    ¡°I heard there are also dual-sword and triple-sword talismans, what are their prices?¡±


    After buying one, Chen Mobai asked about what truly concerned him. Upon hearing this, Qi Rui actually began earnestly advising him.


    ¡°A single-sword talisman costs 8 Spirit Stones, but a dual-sword talisman costs 20, and a triple-sword talisman is as high as 80 Spirit Stones. It¡¯s completely not worth for us Qi Practitioners to invest that much.¡±


    ¡°A dual-sword talisman basically seals two Crimson Flame Sword Lights. The complexity and difficulty of its creation are several times greater than a single-sword talisman. Generally, even if we have the ability, we wouldn¡¯t create dual-sword talismans. They aren¡¯t easy to sell, and the possibility of failure is high. It¡¯s easy for the investment in a talisman to go down the drain.¡± ¡°Moreover, a dual-sword talisman¡¯s power hasn¡¯t fundamentally changed. It just seals an additional sword light. Using two single-sword talismans is the same as using a dual-sword talisman, only it¡¯s cheaper.¡±


    ¡°As for the triple-sword talisman, since it can form a small sword array, it¡¯s worth it if you¡¯re able to create it. But, a triple-sword talisman, even though it is classified as Rank-1 premium grade, actually requires a Rank-2 Talisman Maker to truly craft it. I don¡¯t have the capability to do that.¡±


    After hearing Qi Rui¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai finally understood why only single-sword talismans were sold in the market.


    Dual-sword talismans are simply not cost-effective.


    And triple-sword talismans require too high of a crafting requirement. Even though they¡¯re classified as Rank-1 premium grade, they will be displayed on Rank-2 counters, usually only being purchased by Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    ¡°That¡¯s a pity, I actually wanted to buy a triple-sword talisman to study.¡±


    Chen Mobai feigned regret.


    ¡°Oh, are you also a Talisman Maker, Friend Chen?¡±


    ¡°No wonder you always have so many talismans.¡±


    Qi Rui, Shi Pengyi, and Luo Lin all had realization dawn on them, but Chen Mobai hastily waved his hands humbly, indicating he was still at the beginner stage.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it because I want to join the Divine Wood Sect? I started learning how to make talismans in advance, to avoid getting cut from the entrance tests next year.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, don¡¯t worry, Friend Chen. Given your age and realm, as long as you can master one of the five Life Talismans, any of the senior uncles will take you into the sect.¡±


    Qi Rui was pleased with Chen Mobai¡¯s expressed longing for the Divine Wood Sect. He revealed a bit of the sect¡¯s customary practices in recruiting disciples, which benefited the other three members of the small team greatly.


    ¡°If you truly want a triple-sword talisman, Elder Brother Wang just happens to have one. It¡¯s just a matter of whether he¡¯s willing to part with it.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was visibly surprised, but thinking of Wang Yuanwu¡¯s Red Sword, which was clearly a result of practicing the Red Flame Sword Jue, he suddenly understood.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s unique cultivation technique the ¡®Longevity Sutra¡¯? Why do Friend Qi, Manager Wang, and Elder Qi all practice the Fire Attribute cultivation technique?¡±


    About this, Chen Mobai was a bit confused.


    Shouldn¡¯t disciples of the Divine Wood Sect be practicing Wood Attribute cultivation techniques?


    ¡°Although our Divine Wood Sect originated from the Wood Vein of the Five Elements Sect, the five veins have shared their ancient techniques with each other for over a thousand years. The fundamental techniques of the five veins have all been excerpted.¡±


    ¡°Precisely because of this, our Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff dared to break away from the Five Elements Sect. Our two sects¡¯ inheritance all comes from the same Book Pavilion, and we possess techniques of all Five Elements.¡±


    ¡°However, it is said that the supreme divine skill of the Five Elements Sect, the ¡®Primordial Dao Fruit¡¯, has always been kept within the Earth Vein.¡±


    ¡°But the ¡®Primordial Dao Fruit¡¯ can only be perceived by those who have reached Gold Core Perfection and possess a Heavenly Spiritual Root. So, whether our Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff possess this technique doesn¡¯t really matter.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, in my opinion, the simplified version of ¡®Primordial Dao Fruit¡¯, the ¡®Dual Phase Technique¡¯, is more suitable for us regular cultivators. It provides us with a glimpse of a chance to Core Formation.¡±


    Qi Rui¡¯s words left Chen Mobai a bit confused.


    Many terms were foreign to him.


    What is the ¡®Primordial Dao Fruit¡¯?


    What is the ¡®Dual Phase Technique¡¯?


    In contrast, Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin, a pair of senior brother and sister on the side, wore expressions of awe, as if they had long heard of those famous techniques.

    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but play the part of a cultivator from the countryside and humbly sought advice.


    ¡°This ¡®Primordial Dao Fruit¡¯ is the number one divine skill in the Eastern Wilderness. Our forebear, the Old Ancestor Hun Yuan, used this divine skill to sweep over the Eastern Wilderness, and even made a big name in the Central State, earning the title of ¡®Number One Nascent Soul of the Eastern Bound¡¯. Unfortunately, since the Old Ancestor Hun Yuan¡¯s demise, no one else has mastered this divine skill.¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Dual Phase Technique¡¯ is a simplified version of ¡®Primordial Dao Fruit¡¯, which requires the cultivation of two attribute techniques among the Five Elements.¡±


    ¡°For instance, disciples of our Divine Wood Sect, generally choose the Wood Attribute ¡®Longevity Sutra¡¯ and Fire Attribute ¡®Red Flame Sword Jue¡¯. The initial stages might be slow, but when you reach Foundation Establishment Perfection, the Spiritual Power cultivated by the Red Flame Sword Jue will utilize the Spiritual Power from the Longevity Sutra as nourishment, increasing the chances of Core Formation by thirty percent.¡±


    ¡°It is said that the ¡®Primordial Dao Fruit¡¯ uses the ¡®Dual Phase Technique¡¯ to successively practice the techniques of the Five Elements, finally unifying the Five Elements into one ¡®Primordial True Qi¡¯, thereby overcoming the Five Element techniques..¡±

 Chapter 96 - Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Future Planning^

    Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Future Planning^


    Translator: 549690339


    After hearing Qi Rui¡¯s introduction, which carried a hint of pride, Chen Mobai had only one thought in his mind.


    What a braggart!


    His boasting even surpasses that of the Seven Elemental Soul Cultivation


    Techniques of the Celestial Sect on Deyuan Star.


    The ¡°Six Sovereign Sutra¡± of Kunpeng Daoist Institute claims that when perfected, one would control the six elemental energies-Yin, Yang, Wind, Rain, Darkness, and Brightness-with the laws of the universe at their fingertips, and their Primordial Spirit could roam endlessly through boundless realms.


    Even so, the ¡°Six Sovereign Sutra¡± wouldn¡¯t dare claim to surpass all Five Elements Cultivation techniques.


    That¡¯s because the Wood Attribute Lasting Spring Cultivation technique passed down by Jumang Daoist Institute, though ordinary in name, promises to stop time and preserve youth once one achieves primordial spirit, maintaining their peak state forever before their life ends.


    Bearing no power over the Lasting Spring Cultivation technique, the ¡°Six Sovereign Sutra¡± certainly wouldn¡¯t dare to assert its dominance over all Five Elements Cultivation techniques.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t argue but feigned astonishment after hearing about it, wondering how something as powerful as the ¡°Primordial Dao Fruit¡± could exist!


    But in his heart, he thought that if the ¡°Primordial Dao Fruit¡± was this mighty, then why did the ancestor of the Wu Xing Sect not breakthrough to Divinity Transformation but instead died of old age!


    From this, it became apparent that this so-called best divine skill in the Eastern Wilderness, despite being excellent in magic duels, probably doesn¡¯t compare to the Jade Purity Scripture of the immortal sects when it came to breaking through realms or even chasing longevity.


    This was why he agreed particularly with something Qi Rui said.


    Compared to the inaccessible and grueling cultivation of the Primordial Dao Fruit, the ¡°Dual Elements Cultivation¡± might be more suitable for him.


    Just with a 30% increase in Core Formation chance after Foundation Establishment, he felt ecstatic.


    Remember, the ¡°Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill¡± of the immortal sect even guaranteed a 20% increase in the Core Formation chance.


    Combining these two, if he could make it to Foundation Establishment, he felt he could already swallow half of the Gold Core.


    Perhaps he was thinking too far ahead.


    Chen Mobai took a deep breath to calm himself down.


    ¡°Is this ¡®Dual Elements Cultivation¡¯ so miraculous?¡±


    He was a bit skeptical. After all, though there were cultivation techniques within the immortal sects that could increase the chance of Core Formation, none of their effects were as exaggerated as a direct 30% increase like the ¡°Dual Elements Cultivation¡±.


    ¡°Indeed! Thirty years ago, our sect¡¯s Elder Fu advanced to Core Formation with the ¡®Dual Elements Cultivation¡¯ and became the second Gold Core cultivator in our Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    ¡°Precisely because of this, the Wu Xing Sect, which would not have compromised under any circumstances, was willing to sit down and negotiate with us, acknowledging our Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff s independence.¡±


    ¡°In essence, isn¡¯t it all because we have one more Gold Core cultivator, balancing the power on both sides that the peace agreement for these hundred years could be signed?¡±


    Qi Rui¡¯s words gradually convinced Chen Mobai.


    Before the Wu Xing Sect¡¯s split, with one Nascent Soul cultivator and five Gold Core cultivators, indeed dominated the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Did you also cultivate this ¡®Dual Elements Cultivation¡¯, Qi Rui?¡± Chen Mobai asked.


    The other party immediately shook their head and gave a bitter smile.


    ¡°This is an honor exclusive to True Disciples.


    ¡°Moreover, cultivating the Dual Elements Cultivation requires more resources and time than cultivating a single cultivation technique.¡±


    ¡°During Qi Cultivation, it doesn¡¯t make much of a difference, but after Foundation Establishment, each bottleneck is extremely challenging. Without the ¡®Eternal Life Scripture¡¯ providing an additional lifespan of 60 years, Elder Fu might not have been able to reach the Core Formation stage.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mind.


    He already knew that although the major realms of the Tianhe Realm were the same as those of the immortal sects, the division of the minor realms was completely different.


    Tianhe Realm¡¯s Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul stages all only had four minor realms¡ªearly, mid, late, and Perfection. However, within the immortal sects, like Qi Cultivation, the stages of Foundation Establishment, Core Formation and Nascent Soul, are divided into nine minor realms. This is because breaking through this way, the bottlenecks are significantly smaller.


    Initially, when the Immortal sects started teaching the cultivation methods on Deyuan Star, the three major stages after Qi Cultivation were also divided into four minor realms¡ªearly, mid, late, and Perfection.


    However, after hundreds of years, due to a lack of resources, these minor realm bottlenecks blocked nearly all cultivators.


    So later, the Divinity Transformation ancestor of the Repairing Heaven Institute created the cultivation techniques of Foundation Establishment Nine Levels, Core Formation Nine Levels, and Nascent Soul Nine Levels.


    Sharing these methods with his disciples, the first Nascent Soul cultivator from Deyuan Star was eventually cultivated after two hundred years. As proven by practice, after breaking the original four minor realm bottlenecks into nine, the difficulty of breaking through reduced considerably.


    The chances of ultimately cultivating to Perfection was nearly fifty percent higher.


    Chen Mobai felt that if he could join the Divine Wood Sect, he could first choose to cultivate the ¡®Eternal Life Scripture¡¯, then become a True Disciple, get the ¡°Dual Elements Cultivation¡±, and swap the fire attribute cultivation technique that comes with it with the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± that he had prepared in advance.


    And if he could successfully reach the Foundation Establishment stage, the Nine Stages of Foundation Establishment in the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± would gradually melt the essence of the spiritual energy cultivated by the wood attribute ¡®Eternal Life Scripture¡¯.


    And what was considered the most difficult minor realm bottleneck for the disciples of Divine Wood Sect, might not be too difficult for him.


    Furthermore, after he cultivates the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± to Gold Core Perfection, his spiritual root attribute could be elevated to Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, which would be perfect to comprehend the requirements of the ¡°Primordial


    Dao Fruit¡±.


    Although he felt that this number one divine skill of the Eastern Wilderness might not compare to the seven great elemental soul techniques passed down by the Immortal Sects, Qi Rui¡¯s praise made him think that if he had a chance in the future, he could give it a try.


    In an instant, Chen Mobai had roughly planned his future cultivation techniques.


    However, whether it would work still required more thought and consideration.


    But foremost, he needed to join the Divine Wood Sect.


    On that night, Chen Mobai and Qi Rui engaged in deep conversation, feeling as if they hadn¡¯t met soon enough.


    Shi Pengyi, after listening for a while, began to cultivate seriously, holding a spirit stone in his hand and meditating with his eyes closed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    On the other hand, Luo Lin, whose arm had just been mended, could only rest and listened with great interest as Chen Mobai and Qi Rui discussed topics ranging from the Divine Wood Sect and cultivation techniques to the sharing of experiences in talisman making.


    On these matters, Chen Mobai naturally couldn¡¯t compare with Qi Rui, a Rank-1 Talisman Maker. But as his perceptions were based on entirely different system of learning from the Immortal Sects, his occasional remarks about what he learned in class greatly astonished Qi Rui who praised that Chen Mobai would definitely become an outstanding talisman maker.


    To this, Chen Mobai could only modestly dismiss. His theoretical knowledge might be fine but his practical skills were a mess.


    After the talisman-making discussion, both of them went on to speak about their experience of dealing with Demonic beasts like the Black Plague Bird. In their conversation, they occasionally sought Luo Lin¡¯s opinion and discussed how their team could coordinate to survive the Island Defense Battle while killing more demonic beasts.


    It wasn¡¯t until the break of dawn, when Wang Yuanwu distributed the Spirit Stones of the day that Chen Mobai and Qi Rui reluctantly ended their chat..

 Chapter 97 - Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Golden Cliff Ning Leshan_l

    Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Golden Cliff Ning Leshan_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Chen my friend, this is today¡¯s spirit stone share.¡±


    Wang Yuanwu handed over a small cloth bag. Chen Mobai was a little puzzled as he took it and felt that it contained more than 5 stones.


    ¡°In the latest order from Uncle Zheng, the reward for killing a rank-1 peak demonic beast is an additional 4 spirit stones.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but reveal his surprise.


    When he opened the small cloth bag, he found 11 spirit stones inside.


    In addition to the five-stone reward for responding to the summoning order today, he had killed a black plague bird alone yesterday, and together with Qi Rui, they killed another one, which gave him an extra 6 spirit stones.


    ¡°The feathers of the black plague birds are excellent materials for artifact refining as well. After collecting these spirit stones, we at the Divine Wood Sect will handle the bodies of these beasts.¡±


    Wang Yuanwu explained further. Chen Mobai then realized that these spirit stones were actually payment for the materials from the beasts.


    However, he wouldn¡¯t know how to handle these materials in the first place, so even if they fell into his hands, the most he could do was roast some wings to eat. If he handed them over to the Divine Wood Sect and even got a few spirit stones in return, then it was a win-win deal.


    Compared to this, Chen Mobai is now even more impressed with Zheng Deming, who managed the distribution of the stones.


    Well, he saw that the cultivators guarding the spiritual tree array banners today seemed to be a lot happier after receiving more spirit stones, despite the fact some had frowned due to their comrades¡¯ deaths and injuries the day before.


    Those loose cultivators who were hesitant about whether to pull out and fight for survival before, couldn¡¯t speak up now.


    At least at the moment they received the spirit stones, all the loose cultivators were full of energy and united in their resolve.


    ¡°Someone¡¯s coming!¡±


    After Wang Yuanwu handed out the spirit stones and was about to discuss the cooperation tactics with everyone, a bright sword light landed on the cliff.


    ¡°I am Ning Leshan from Golden Cliff, who is the leader here?¡±


    The sword light faded, revealing a middle-aged man with a square face and three long straggling beards.


    ¡°Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Wang Yuanwu, I pay my respects to Uncle Ning.¡±


    Chen Mobai recognized this sword light, which was the same as the one that rushed out of the teleportation array and killed a rank-2 demonic beast yesterday. This was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    ¡°Hmm, Brother Zheng assigned me to guard the west bank¡¯s defense line, and I came to meet with you.¡±


    After saying these words, Ning Leshan nodded his head and flew away on his sword, heading towards the location of the next spiritual tree array.


    Although this cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage came and went in a hurry, it nonetheless gave the team immense confidence.


    Indicating that even if the ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡± was used up and a rank-2 beast rushed onto the island, there would be at least one Foundation Establishment cultivator stationed behind them. This immediately gave them a different sense of security.


    ¡°Golden Cliff is full of sword cultivators and they are generally among the strongest within the same rank.¡±


    Qi Rui knew that Chen Mobai was a loose cultivator who had come from the small place of Cloud Dream, and was not very familiar with the knowledge about the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, so he started explaining to him.


    Among the Five Veins of the Five Elements Sect, the Metal Vein has always been the strongest.


    After the Hun Yuan Ancestor passed away, if it weren¡¯t for the alliance with Golden Cliff, the Gold Core ancestor of the Divine Wood Sect would not have the confidence to form their own sect.


    ¡°What realm is Uncle Ning in?¡±


    ¡°I have heard before that he broke through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment just five years ago. I don¡¯t know if he has practiced the two-phase technique. If he is a gold-water dual cultivator with this kind of progress, he might have a chance to attempt Core Formation before his life limit.¡±


    The Divine Wood Sect would organise an exchange program every once in a while where disciples who practiced sword techniques would be sent to Golden Cliff to learn. Qi Rui, who was practicing Crimson Flame Sword Decree, had the fortunate opportunity to stay at Golden Cliff for a period of time, and he remembered the name Ning Leshan very clearly.


    ¡°If practicing the two-phase technique increases the chance of Core Formation, why wouldn¡¯t one cultivate it?¡±


    Chen Mobai found it very strange. Given Ning Leshan¡¯s status as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he certainly would want to reach Core Formation.


    This Dual Phase Technique increased the odds of achieving Core Formation so significantly, he would have definitely cultivated it if he were in that place.


    ¡°Most of our Divine Wood Sect disciples who meet the requirements will practice the Dual Phase Technique, but it¡¯s different for the sword cultivators of the Golden Cliff.¡±


    ¡°Many of them believe that sword cultivation needs a pure Sword Heart. Cultivating the Dual Phase Technique would impure their hearts. They would rather focus on a Sword technique that aligns with their own Spiritual Root and temperament, which allows them to forge ahead bravely and vigorously.¡±


    ¡°In fact, among the Five Veins of the Five Elements Sect, only our Divine Wood Sect places such great importance on the Dual Phase Technique. That¡¯s because the ¡®Longevity Sutra¡¯ can increase lifespan, and after Foundation Establishment, cultivators can get an extra lifespan of sixty-year cycle to breakthrough the bottleneck. In the other four veins, nine out of ten cultivators who practice the Dual Phase Technique would end up dying of old age.¡±


    After hearing Qi Rui¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai could not help but admire the unique advantage of the Divine Wood Sect.


    No wonder they had the audacity to split after the Ancestor Hun Yuan¡¯s passing.


    At this point, Wang Yuanwu gathered everyone again and had them set up defensive lines as they had been divided into teams the day before.


    Chen Mobai led Brother Shi Pengyi to the same spot they had fought in yesterday. Qi Rui was standing on the outermost edge, forming the first line of defense with the other Divine Wood Sect disciples.


    Attack!


    As expected, in a short while, the two Rank-2 Bird Kings led thousands of Black Plague Birds. It seemed they scattered around the nearby waters and in the sky to avoid being wiped out altogether by the Sacred Tree Divine Light.


    There was no more poking and prodding; they went straight into the most dangerous stage of the battle.


    The place where Chen Mobai and his group had set up the Spirit Tree Array Banners was still the primary target of the flock of Black Plague Birds.


    It seemed they had tested the limits of this team¡¯s power yesterday, so today the two Bird Kings sent thirty Rank-1 Peak birds to besiege them with a fierce momentum.


    If it were up to Chen Mobai and his group alone, they could only face these demonic beasts with heavy losses.


    If they fought to the death, no one might survive.


    But today, everyone was full of confidence.


    Wang Yuanwu nodded to his junior brother Liu beside him. Without any hesitation, Liu released the Sacred Tree Divine Light, which had recovered after being energized overnight.


    Amidst the loud rumbling noise,


    The thirty Rank-1 Peak Big Black Plague Birds, which rushed in front of them, were mostly vaporized into a mist of blood by this sudden burst of Sacred Tree Divine Light, despite their careful dispersion.


    ¡°Attack! Don¡¯t let any of these beasts escape!¡±


    Under Wang Yuanwu¡¯s command, Qi Rui and other Divine Wood Sect disciples charged off the cliff with him.


    Attack!


    At this point, the Bird King who was supervising from the distant clouds above uttered a harsh cry.


    Seeing that they had used the Sacred Tree Divine Light, the uninjured Rank-2 Bird King in his peak state, flapped his wings, revealing his true form, and charged towards them.

    ¡°Evil beast, how dare you!¡±


    Ning Leshan, who had been hiding on one side, flew over with his Sword Control Technique and directly blocked the Bird King in mid-air.


    The thunderous roar occurred once again!


    Meanwhile, Sacred Tree Divine Light broke out on the other shores of Green Light Island too, cleaning up the surface of the lake.


    After that, bursts of Sword Lights lit up, and they began to engage with the approaching army of demonic beasts..

 Chapter 98 - Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Red Flame Three Sword Symbol_l

    Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Red Flame Three Sword Symbol_l


    Translator: 549690339


    In the blink of an eye, Chen Mobai had been fighting demonic beasts on Green


    Light Island for ten days flat.


    From what began as a genteel, ancient-style handsome young man, to now wearing short sleeves and letting his hair loose.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the Cleaning technique, his appearance may have been likened


    to that of a savage by now.


    The number of people in their small team was also decreasing, and at this point, only twelve remained.


    However, those remaining were basically the elites.


    Fortunately, those Chen Mobai had met all survived.


    Luo Lin had already left the team. After all, she was only at the third level of Qi Cultivation. After fighting non-stop for five days, even with the supplement of elixirs and talismans, she fell into a coma due to exhaustion of spiritual and physical strength.


    However, surviving was what mattered most after all.


    Three days after Shi Pengyi left with Luo Lin, he returned to the team. Apart from wishing to earn Spirit Stones, he had also advanced to the sixth level of Qi Cultivation.


    His spiritual root talent was quite good, but if he wanted to make further progress or even pursue Foundation Establishment, the island defense fight this time provided him with the best opportunity for advancement. Not only could he obtain Spirit Stones, but he could also further refine his cultivation techniques.


    If he could break through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation in the next few years, at least before the age limit of 60, Shi Pengyi could attempt Foundation Establishment once.


    Chen Mobai had never participated in the struggles for the opening of the Immortals¡¯ Gate, but he felt that even the struggles for the opening should be as brutal as this, right?


    Of the twelve people they still had alive, seven were in the late stage of Qi Cultivation and five were at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation.


    A disciple of the Divine Wood Sect had also died. After Qi Rui cremated him personally, carrying the urn with his ashes, he left the team for a day. But when he returned the next day, he once again devoted himself fully to the fight against the demonic beasts.


    A Loose Cultivator in the late stage of Qi Cultivation also died.


    And of the remaining Loose Cultivators, only three, like Luo Lin, could leave


    alive.


    The brutalities of both life and death, and battle, enabled Chen Mobai to grow significantly within this short span of ten days.


    ¡°Come, Brother Chen.¡±


    Qi Rui threw the wine jug in his hand to Chen Mobai who caught it effortlessly and took a sip.


    Initially, he didn¡¯t like to drink alcohol, seeing that the taste of milk tea was much better than that of alcohol.


    But there was no milk tea in this world, so he had to cope with what was


    available.


    However, after having drunk alcohol for such a long time, he was gradually beginning to appreciate its taste.


    This jug of wine that Qi Rui held, according to him, was brewed from Jade Bud Spirit Rice grown on the Giant Tree Ridge. The taste was full bodied and smooth, and long-term consumption even had a promotional effect on cultivation.


    This pot of wine cost one Spirit Stone.


    After asking Shi Pengyi and his peers about it, he realized that not all Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm could afford to eat Spirit Rice and drink Spiritual Wine for every meal.


    Regarding this, Chen Mobai could only comment that the agriculture of the Tianhe Realm was not developed enough.


    Although the Immortal Gate was short of resources, there was one thing that was never scarce ¨C Spirit Rice.


    On the Earth Elemental Star, regardless of whether it was plains or mountains, as long as it was possible to open and cultivate Spirit Fields, they were all exploited by the Lingzhi Husband of the Immortal Gate.


    After all, the body was the most fundamental thing. If one couldn¡¯t eat enough Spirit Rice, how could one possibly expect the children of the next generation to be talented?


    The technique of cultivating Spirit Rice on the side of the Immortal Gate had reached an absolute pinnacle.


    Therefore, because every generation had grown up eating Spirit Rice for thousands of years, it was very rare for a baby to be born lacking in innate Spirit Root Attributes on the side of the Immortal Gate.


    In the Tianhe Realm, those who had Spirit Roots and could sense and cultivate Spiritual Energy were surprisingly in the minority.


    As a major sect of the Eastern Wilderness, the Divine Wood Sect, which recruited disciples every year, had to let Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage lead a group of people to various cities and villages to measure Spirit Roots among the mortals.


    Not only was this inefficient, but there was also a large probability of overlooking people with Spirit Roots.


    Eight years ago, when Liu Jia Mountain was recruiting disciples in the Eastern Wilderness, their Spirit Messenger found a genius with a Different Spiritual Root in Rain Country which the Divine Wood Sect had previously checked. Upon hearing about this, the Old Ancestor Fu was furious.


    If not for the Spirit Messenger of the previous generation of the Divine Wood Sect who managed to snatch a baby with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, he would probably have been severely punished for this matter.


    ¡°With such an abundant amount of Spiritual Energy in the Tianhe Realm, it would be a waste not to cultivate land.¡±


    As Chen Mobai drank the small wine, he thought if he got into the Divine Wood Sect in the future, he would definitely not waste such good Spiritual Land resources.


    The Giant Tree Ridge with Rank-4 Spirit Vein, known as the second largest medicine field in the Eastern Wilderness, might be a bit difficult to convert into farmland.


    But Chen Mobai didn¡¯t need such good Spiritual Land either.


    Qi Rui said that there were many abandoned rank-1 and rank-2 Spirit Fields around the Giant Tree Ridge. Because the Divine Wood Sect has only been separated for less than a hundred years, there were not many disciples, so the sect¡¯s influence area was rather sparsely populated.


    Basically, every Qi Cultivation disciple could be divided into a rank-2 Spirit Vein.


    He could buy some seeds that grew fast but required high amounts of Spiritual Energy from the Earth Elemental Star, which would perfectly utilize the abundant Spiritual Energy of the Tianhe Realm.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mother, Tang Panchui, came from a village situated in a valley between Danxia City and Yu Wood City, where the people from generations past had made a living farming. The Water Clear Rice they grew had a pure white and translucent color, with a unique green leaf aroma.


    Most of the cultivators in Danxia City and Yu Wood City only acknowledge the rank-2 Water Clear Rice grown here.


    When Chen Mobai was young, he had also been taken to work in the fields. Regarding farming, he felt that he had a bit of a knack for it.


    ¡°Manager Wang, I would like to request two days of leave to rest.¡±


    After finishing his wine, Chen Mobai approached Wang Yuanwu. The latter paused for a moment, thinking that Chen Mobai was tired of fighting and wanted to quit and leave.


    ¡°Brother Chen, if you are dissatisfied with the quantity of Spirit Stones, we can negotiate again.¡±


    ¡°Manager Wang, you misunderstood. It¡¯s just that the non-stop fighting over the past ten days has left me mentally fatigued. If I don¡¯t take a break now, I might lose my guard on the battlefield and get killed by those beasts.¡± Chen Mobai explained with a wry smile, adding that the following day, the Danxia City side would announce the pairing list and detailed rules for the Daoist Academy entrance exam.


    He had to rush back to check his opponents and see if there was anything he needed to take note of.

    ¡°So that¡¯s the case, I apologize for misunderstanding you, Brother Chen.


    After hearing this, Wang Yuanwu immediately apologized, as the pressure he had been under during this period was also very great.


    Just the day before, the defensive line they held had broken. If not for Ning Leshan repelling the Bird King and reinforcing them in time, they might not have been able to retake this place.


    However, despite this, the Spiritual Tree Array Banner they were protecting was damaged. Although their Junior Brother Liu was trying his best to repair it, he wasn¡¯t a Lingzhi Husband and the effect was slow.


    ¡°Oh, Brother Wang, I heard you have a Red Flame Sword Charm. You also know of my aspiration to join the Divine Wood Sect, and I have decided to cultivate the Eternal Life Sutra and the Red Flame Sword technique.. I wonder if you might be willing to part with it and sell it to me?¡±

 Chapter 99 - Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Mixed l

    Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Mixed l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Wang Yuanwu hesitated for a moment. He thought about how Chen Mobai is a mainstay in his team and has been a lot of help recently. Considering Chen Mobai¡¯s age and realm, it wouldn¡¯t be impossible for him to become a true disciple of the Divine Wood Sect. So, befriending him would not be a bad idea. As a result, Chen Mobai returned the Spirit Stones he had received from Wang Yuanwu over the ten days back to him and received Wang Yuanwu¡¯s treasured ¡°Red Blaze Triple Sword Talisman¡±.


    ¡°Chen, return safely.¡±


    Qi Rui, who was standing nearby, said with a chuckle.


    Shi Pengyi also greeted Chen Mobai with a respectful fist-and-palm salute. Although he didn¡¯t say anything, his intention was the same.


    When Chen Mobai returned to his rented wooden hut, he discovered that his one-month lease was up. But, because of the Island Defense War, the Divine Wood Sect had extended the leases for all Loose Cultivators who responded to their call for another month, free of charge.


    He opened the cover of the underground tunnel under the bed and climbed down.


    With a flash of silvery light, he returned to his long-missed home.


    After tidying up his clothes, Chen Mobai pushed open the door of his house and headed to school.


    As he was walking, his phone, connected to Doyuan Star¡¯s signal, showed a continuous flow of incoming texts.


    There were messages from his mother, Tang Panchui and Qing Nu.


    There was also a message from Song Zheng. He had attended two training classes organized by the school but felt there was little improvement. Because he had not run into Chen Mobai these two times, he asked if there were any external training classes that were good for practical Magic Duel effectiveness. After seeing this, Chen Mobai replied, stating that external training classes were no better than the ones organized by the school principal.


    In the end, he saw a text from Yan Bingxuan.


    She asked him where he got the fish they had last time as she wanted to buy a couple online.


    Chen Mobai could only say that the fish were from an old spring in a cold pool in the mountains where his mother lived, and that she wouldn¡¯t be able to buy them online. He promised to bring her a couple more next time he could.


    After calling his mother, Tang Panchui, to reassure her, Chen Mobai arrived at the school.


    Classroom 203.


    By the time Chen Mobai walked in, half of the people had arrived.


    ¡°Over here!¡±


    Class monitor Mo Simin seemed to have forgotten about the previous incident as she waved enthusiastically at Chen Mobai.


    Song Zheng was sitting in the row in front of her. When he saw Chen Mobai coming over, he lifted his eyelids slightly and gave a small nod, a form of greeting.


    ¡°Yan Bingxuan didn¡¯t come?¡±


    After sitting down, Chen Mobai asked casually.


    ¡°She¡¯s already been recommended for admission, so it doesn¡¯t matter whether she participates in the Magic Duel or not. She said that instead of spending time on this, she should cultivate more and increase her Ice Spirit Root Attribute Points.¡±


    Mo Simin mocked Yan Bingxuan¡¯s indifferent tone of speech with an uncanny impression.


    ¡°That makes sense.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, agreeing with Yan Bingxuan¡¯s logic.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that this entrance exam determined his future in the Immortal Sects, Chen Mobai would have preferred to stay in the Tianhe Realm and continue his training.


    His recent fights with the demonic beasts had consolidated the inflated spiritual power he had initially gained from consuming Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. He even felt that he could easily break through the bottleneck of the Qi Cultivation Rank-8 once he refined his spiritual energy to the right level.


    ¡°Well, long time no see, everyone¡±


    At this moment, a spirited and energetic teenager entered the room. It was Xu Yuan.


    He seemed to have gone somewhere to train during this period and had completely changed his casual demeanor. Now, he was more like a sharp sword out of its sheath, filled with fighting spirit and sharpness.


    ¡°Eh, you¡¯ve broken through to the Qi Cultivation Rank-8.¡±


    A flash of spiritual light passed through Shi Jingjing¡¯s eyes, revealing Xu Yuan¡¯s true realm.


    ¡°Correct. I was sent along with Yuanqing to train in the army. After enduring tortures you can¡¯t imagine, I have thoroughly improved!¡±


    Xu Yuan stood at the entrance, his entire person exuding a combativeness and sharpness he had never had before.


    Meanwhile, Shi Yuanqing was still quiet. But the childishness on his face had completely vanished. He stood still like a mountain, giving people an indescribable feeling of solidity.


    ¡°In that case, you guys should be able to make it to the final round this time.¡±


    Shi Jingjing glanced at Shi Yuanqing again. Seeing him, she, who originally didn¡¯t have much confidence in the Magic Duel, slumped her face, turned her head, and leaned against Cao Yaling¡¯s chest. Her face puckered up, and she looked extremely disappointed.


    ¡°If those four who are at the Qi Cultivation Rank-9 all go to participate in the entrance exams of the Four Great Dao Academies, I feel that I can top this competition among the Ten Academies.¡±


    Xu Yuan¡¯s words made Chen Mobai, who had been busy communicating with Qing Nu on his phone, glance at him.


    After making sure this guy couldn¡¯t possibly beat him, Chen Mobai lowered his head again and continues chatting with Qing Nu.


    [Has the duel list been released yet?]


    This was a message sent by Qing Nu.


    She had pretty much been in the Alchemy Room or in her rented apartment recently, busy helping him refine Rank-1 High-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Because she had already been recommended for admission to the Jumang Dao Academy, she didn¡¯t pay much attention to the entrance exam for Daoyuan College.


    [It hasn¡¯t reached our hands yet, but it may have been issued to the school already. After all, they said the duel list would be out today when we were filling out the school preferences.]


    Chen Mobai replied.


    The Cinnabarite Institute.


    ¡°47 people for Dao Academy and 233 people for Doyuan Academy.¡±


    The Red Robe Leader glanced over the duel list with people¡¯s allocations, and then looked up at the fully assembled representatives of the Dao Academy and Doyuan Academy in the conference room.


    ¡°The numbers are a bit awkward, should we kick one out or promote one? That way, it¡¯ll be a perfect head-to-head match.¡±


    The representative of the Repairing Heaven Institute said, which was silently rebuked by everyone.


    ¡°Whether we kick someone out or promote someone, there will be dissatisfaction. We must uphold basic fairness and justice, and I think we should stick with the numbers we have. The extra person will be the one with the highest score, who will get a bye and move on to the next round.¡±


    Bian Yiqing of Dance Tool Dao Academy began speaking. His mature and steady comments earned nods of approval from most of the academy representatives.


    ¡°In that case, there¡¯s another problem.¡±


    Shang Qing of Jumang Dao Academy checked this year¡¯s scores in Red Sandstone City and pointed out the two people with the highest scores, Gong Xiangyu and Yan Feng, who were tied.


    So, who gets the bye?


    For a moment, the conference room fell silent.


    ¡°Lan Haitian, how about your input?¡±


    Among the Four Great Dao Academies, only Lan Haitian hasn¡¯t spoken yet.


    The representatives from the Ten Academies usually followed the lead of the Four Great Dao Academies in such situations.

    When the words of the Red Robe Leader fell, all eyes were on Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we mix the people from the Four Great Dao Academies and the Ten Academies together for the Magic Duel?¡±


    Unexpectedly, Lan Haitian¡¯s suggestion seemed to be unacceptable to some people.


    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that be unfair to the 47 who barely made it into the Daoyuan Academy? They worked very hard to earn this opportunity.¡±


    ¡°The more people there are in the competition, the more rounds there are, the easier it is to see who the true skills are..¡±

 Chapter 100 - Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Versus Table_l

    Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Versus Table_l


    Translator: 549690339


    After hearing what Lan Haitian had to say, the representative from Repairing Heaven Institute frowned, proposing a potential issue.


    ¡°What if the first-place finisherin the end, doesn¡¯t meet the cut-off scores for admission into our Four Great Daoist Academies? What are we to do then?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that even better? It gives us a legitimate reason not to admit any.¡±


    Lan Haitian¡¯s words caused everyone present to startle before their expressions cleared in understanding.


    Admission requirements for the Four Great Daoist Academies were strict, preferring to have fewer but superior students each year. This led to criticisms from cultivators, accusing the academies of hoarding the most cultivation resources from the celestial schools and being overly selfish.


    In every ten years, the Xianwu Hall from the Three Great Xian Halls, which was the highest governing body overseeing operation departments of thirty-six heavenly caves and seventy-two blessed lands, would conduct a public opinion survey.


    With the public¡¯s criticism for the Four Great Daoist Academies mounting over hundreds of years, it was about time to issue some responses. Hence, this year, the Hall Master from Xianwu Hall invited the dean of the Daoist Academy to set the theme of a magic duel for admissions.


    The requirement was that if the first place in the magic duel scored sufficient points for admission, the Four Great Daoist Academies could not refuse the student¡¯s enrolment.


    In the end, to prevent examination migration, a notice was issued by Celestial Schools mandating the completion of at least one semester at a local academy before taking the local admission test.


    The Four Great Daoist Academies agreed to this in respect to the Xianwu Hall Master.


    But, when they announced it, they faced strong opposition from within the academy.


    ¡°Why did we, in our time, had to beat out two to three million people from across the Celestial Schools to barely gain admission into the Four Great Daoist Academies? How could it be so simple this year?¡±


    Each of the Four Great Daoist Academies would only admit a maximum of 49 students every year.


    Adding up to less than two hundred, they were truly the chosen ones amongst myriads.


    According to the Xianwu Hall Master¡¯s requirements, at a minimum one student from each Heavenly Cave and Blessed Lands may be admitted, potentially doubling the intake numbers.


    It was not that Daoist Academy members felt this was unfair, they were mainly concerned that lowering the standards would tarnish their academy¡¯s reputation.


    Could the first-place finisher of some obscure place also qualify for admission into the Four Great Daoist Academies? Did they even have the aptitude for it?


    If you wanted to join the Daoist Academy, you should earn it by outcompeting millions of candidates, just like them.


    But the higher-ups had already decided, so even if students nursed resentment, the representatives of the Four Great Daoist Academies could only follow their leaders¡¯ directives.


    Lan Haitian¡¯s proposal, however, provided a valid reason to reject students.


    Among them, Shang Qing from Jumang Daoist Academy, in particular, wasn¡¯t concerned at all.


    They had Qing Nu with the Heavenly Spiritual Root, so they had already secured a student slot in Red Sandstone City in advance.


    ¡°That¡¯s even better. If we follow past practice, these 47 people might not be qualified for the Four Great Daoist Academies, and will end up joining the ten schools. Mixing exams together will allow the representatives of the academies to better judge the students¡¯ potential and level.¡±


    The representative from the Repairing Heaven Institute nodded and made a remark that turned the representatives from the academies pale.


    Yet, they could not utter a word in protest because they indeed intended to increase enrolment.


    Therefore, everyone¡¯s gaze turned to the True Man in Red Robe.


    He was still the one to make the final decision.


    ¡°I find it feasible. Let¡¯s go according to this. Daoist Academy and the academies holding joint entrance tests can also save resources for Cinnabarite Institute.¡±


    As the Man in Red Robe made the decision, there were no objections from the representatives of the Daoist Academy and the academies, who all nodded in agreement.


    Subsequently, the clerk swiftly reconfigured the duel¡¯s formula on the file, mixing together all 47 Daoist Academy entrants and 233 academy quota.


    In a flash, a new duel table was generated.


    ¡°Make some final changes and then send it to all schools. The magic duels will be held three days from now. Since there are many participants in the first round, it will be divided into several sessions¡­¡±


    After reviewing it, the Man in Red Robe added a few points.


    Suggestions such as prioritizing students from the same school to avoid each other, those with higher realms to duel first with those with lower realms, to prevent those with high realms from encountering each other early and ensuring the excitement in the final rounds.


    After two more rounds of modifications, the representatives of the Daoist Academies and the academies were all satisfied, and this duel schedule was distributed to all high schools in Red Sandstone City.


    Classroom 203.


    He Jingshan skillfully switched on the projector, first showing the entire enormous dueling table, then inputting the keyword ¡°Fifth High School¡±, immediately filtering out the rivalry information for every student in the classroom.


    ¡°Each of you should take note of this. The first round has 140 duels. There are twenty duels a day, which will take seven days in total. Check to see which day you are scheduled on?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked up at his own, and was lucky ¨C it was on the first day, and his opponent was from Third High School.


    Mo Simin even recognized her and said he was a seventh-layer Qi Cultivation genius with a dual spiritual root. She made a comparison with Song Zheng.


    Chen Mobai responded with an ¡°oh¡±, greatly admiring her comparison, which instantly clarified his opponent¡¯s level for him.


    Everyone¡¯s luck is good, no one has encountered a strong opponent, only Chen Mobai¡¯s Qiao Xingwen is in the late stage of Qi cultivation, there might be a fierce battle.¡±


    He Jingshan had checked the duel table before coming, and had a good idea of everyone¡¯s opponents.


    Seeing that everyone in the classroom were looking at him, Chen Mobai could not help but stop playing with his phone.


    Feeling the atmosphere was a bit stiff, Chen Mobai thought it was necessary to say something.


    ¡°Everyone must work hard. As the top scorer of our high school this time, I will set an example and strive to defeat my opponent to uphold the honour of Fifth High School in Red Sandstone City.¡±


    After hearing his words, Mo Simin immediately turned her head away, pretending not to know him.


    Song Zheng was also surprised, not expecting Chen Mobai to actually utter such an embarrassing statement.


    ¡°Cough cough, Chen Mobai, I¡¯m pleased to see your spirit, but I¡¯ve heard some things about your opponent. It¡¯s said that he might soon break through to the eighth layer of Qi cultivation. Safety should be your priority during the magic duel on the stage. It¡¯s not shameful to surrender.¡±


    He Jingshan felt the need to cool the students¡¯ ardor. Although entrance exams are important, they should not risk their lives for it ¨C the journey ahead is long.


    Even among the many houses, there were cases of Nascent Soul seniors.


    Remember, one must not lose their sensibility on the dueling stage because of a moment¡¯s zeal.


    After rambling for a while, the school principal then shared a tip.


    ¡°The talisman used in the magic duel can be changed as long as it doesn¡¯t exceed the grade and quantity set in the rules. If feasible, you can all change to a new set after each round of magic duel, which will keep your opponents from detecting your secrets.¡±


    Upon hearing this rule, Chen Mobai felt it had its pros and cons.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Getting acquainted with talismans takes time; using the magic duel set one is most proficient at will certainly be more effective than sets with which one isn¡¯t familiar.


    But the principal made a point too. If an evenly matched opponent were met, revealing all of one¡¯s spells and talismans might win them the duel, but the opponent in the next round would definitely prepare talismans in restraint.


    At this point, changing the talismans would indeed be a very good strategy, which can disrupt the opponent¡¯s arrangement.


    This made the magic duel even more interesting.


    Should an uncommon set of talismans be assembled as a decoy, to attract attention in the early rounds?

 Chapter 101 - Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Striving for the First_l

    Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Striving for the First_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°I¡¯ll take 5 Quicksand Talismans.¡±


    ¡°This Golden Light Talisman is not bad, I¡¯ll stock up 5 of them as well.¡±


    ¡°Wind Blade Talisman, Wind Binding Talisman, and Wind Speed Talisman can be combined. Nice, I¡¯ll take 5 of each.¡±


    ¡°Fireball Talisman, Big Fireball Talisman, Fire Dragon Talisman ¨C 1¡¯11 prepare 2 sets of each.¡±


    Buying everything he thought of, Chen Mobai opened the fairy gate network and purchased a large number of popular battle talismans from several highly ranked talisman stores.


    In the end, he also bought 10 of the ¡°Water Sword Talismans¡±, which he always had in his shopping cart but never had the heart to place the order when he was short on cash.


    Considering his need for a water source to perform the Cold Ice Technique, he also bought 5 ¡°Water Storage Talismans¡±.


    This talisman was invented by a genius in the fairy gate. Although it¡¯s only a lower-grade Rank-1, it can store up to one cubic meter of water, making it an essential talisman for outdoor exploration and ancient ruin excavation.


    After completing his orders, Chen Mobai saw that he only had over three thousand Good Deed Points left in his bank card and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head and sigh.


    It feels like no matter how many Good Deed Points one has, they¡¯re always not enough.


    The richer one is, the stronger this feeling becomes.


    ¡°Alright, take these match schedules and prepare well at home.¡±


    At this point, He Jingshan distributed a stack of printed and folded match schedules to each student, then left the classroom.


    Chen Mobai took one handed over by Song Zheng, who was sitting in front of him, and put it in his backpack, preparing to leave.


    ¡°Hey.¡±


    Unexpectedly, Xu Yuan approached him.


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    Chen Mobai tilted his head, looking at the guy blocking the door.


    He wondered if this guy was challenging his first place and pondered on which move would be more suitable to beat him later.


    ¡°Qiao Xingwen is a guy who joined the army with me. We had three fights, and I only won two.¡±


    As soon as the theme of the entrance exam for the Magic Duel was released, many people thought military training was the best way to improve.


    Just as Xu Yuan and Shi Yuanqing had the chance to go to the army for training, other senior students in Danxia City also had other ways to get in.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s opponent, Qiao Xingwen, was one of them.


    ¡°Thanks for the heads up.¡±


    After hearing Xu Yuan¡¯s serious words, Chen Mobai was surprised but thanked him.


    ¡°Chen Mobai, may I ask you something?¡±


    At this time, Shi Jingjing, who was sitting at her seat, suddenly raised her hand and spoke.


    ¡°Hmm? Please ask.¡±


    ¡°Have you not updated your personal information panel?¡±


    Shi Jingjing asked a very unexpected question.


    ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit confused, but Shi Jingjing took out her phone and opened a website in front of him.


    ¡°Betting Odds Network.¡±


    ¡°This Magic Duel in Danxia City has attracted many gamblers to place bets. They have collected the information of all students participating in the Daoist Academy¡¯s Magic Duel.¡±


    ¡°I was bored these days and read through everyone¡¯s information. I noticed that your realm is still listed as the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation.¡±


    ¡°I checked the match schedule again. Basically, the matchups in the first few rounds avoid internal consumption between high-realm students. This must have been deliberately set by the organizers to ensure the final rounds are exciting enough.¡±


    ¡°Since you¡¯re regarded as a sixth layer of Qi Cultivation, you¡¯re considered to have the lowest realm in this Magic Duel. So when the automatic arrangement was made, you were paired with Qiao Xingwen, with the intention of advancing this genius in the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation.¡±


    After hearing Shi Jingjing¡¯s words, including Mo Simin, all students with the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation in the class couldn¡¯t help but lower their heads in shame.


    Chen Mobai opened his personal information panel on his phone.


    The update states that I¡¯ve reached the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation.


    ¡°So, you haven¡¯t sent this to the class teacher?¡±


    Shi Jingjing asked again.


    After pondering for a bit, Chen Mobai realized that was indeed the case. The period between his breakthrough from the fifth layer to the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation and then from the sixth layer to the seventh layer was very short. To avoid being questioned by the class teacher, he hadn¡¯t sent his updated personal information to Chai Deyun.


    The grades of the students in each school were public information, and thus, the odds site must have obtained this information.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    Upon hearing Shi Jingjing¡¯s suggestion, Chen Mobai had an epiphany.


    This was the reason two seventh-layer Qi Cultivation students had been paired in the first round.


    Besides these two, all the other 139 matches had late-stage Qi Cultivation students pitted against mid-stage ones.


    ¡°You know, you could¡¯ve easily advanced to the second round, but now you might be eliminated in the first round.¡±


    Shi Jingjing shook her finger at Chen Mobai, her face full of pity.


    ¡°Thanks for the reminder.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say much, just thanked her.


    At this point, many people in the classroom had already gathered around Shi Jingjing, asking for the website address of the odds site.


    ¡°You can only watch, you can¡¯t bet, or your eligibility for the entrance exam will be cancelled.¡±


    Shi Jingjing quickly warned, instantly dampening the spirits of Chen Mobai, who was planning to bet on himself winning.


    However, he still asked for the website address and casually added Shi Jingjing as a friend.


    This classmate¡¯s way of thinking was quite unique; it might be beneficial to keep in touch in the future.


    Upon leaving the school, Chen Mobai went to the Alchemy Room rented by Qing Nu.


    ¡°Here!¡±


    A plastic container half-full of Rank-1 high-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water was handed by Qing Nu to Chen Mobai. There were actually 22 vials of it.


    ¡°1 used four parts of medicinal herbs, and another batch of medicinal solution is still being extracted. There should be about seven more vials by the day after tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡±


    Chen Mobai thanked Qing Nu.


    With one batch of the high-grade Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, you could mix at most ten vials. During the ten days when he was fighting against demonic beasts, Qing Nu had also stayed up without rest, making her look slightly wearied.


    ¡°It¡¯s no big deal, thanks to the medicinal herbs you provided, otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to break through to the next realm.¡±


    ¡°Oh? You¡¯ve cultivated Divine Sense!¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t checked Qing Nu¡¯s Cultivation Level, but to break through to the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation, one must first cultivate Divine Sense.


    ¡°Yes, when I woke up this morning, I had mastered the Divine Sense, but my Spiritual Power isn¡¯t enough yet, so I¡¯m still in the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, congratulations, take the ingredients for the two batches of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and make some Rank-1 mid-grade ones for yourself. You can think of it as a gift from me.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qing Nu however, shook her head.


    ¡°Just being able to practice with your medicinal herbs to improve my alchemy skills is enough for me. Besides, I¡¯m going to Jumang Daoist Academy next semester, which is located on a Rank-5 Spirit Vein, so there¡¯s no need to waste your medicinal herbs since there won¡¯t be a lack of Spiritual Energy there.¡±


    Chen Mobai accepted Qing Nu¡¯s reasoning and didn¡¯t say anything more.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Nevertheless, to celebrate Qing Nu¡¯s breakthrough, the two of them went out for another meal of grilled fish.


    Since he didn¡¯t bring any fish from Tianhe realm this time, the taste was average, but they both ate happily.


    When they were saying their goodbyes, Qing Nu suddenly clenched her right fist and raised it, saying something to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Good luck with the entrance exam.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll strive to rank first and join you at Jumang Daoist Academy..¡±

 Chapter 102 - Chapter 102: Chapter 102: The Situation Looks Great_l

    Chapter 102: Chapter 102: The Situation Looks Great_l


    Translator: 549690339 I


    After returning home, Chen Mobai had another meal with his mother, Tang Panchui, and then under her prattling, went back to his own room.


    Glittering silver.


    He was back in the Tianhe Realm again.


    He carefully stepped out of the burrow he dug, relieved to see the log cabin still stood.


    After confirming no demonic beasts had reached the island, Chen Mobai got dressed and returned to his team.


    ¡°How does it feel, isn¡¯t it uncomfortable resting at home?¡±


    Qi Rui came up laughing when he saw him return, giving a friendly pat on his shoulder.


    ¡°Not at all.¡±


    ¡°How is it possible? Last time I brought the ashes of Brother Wang back, I rested for a day. When I lay in bed and closed my eyes, all I could see was myself fighting beasts here. I couldn¡¯t rest at all.¡±


    Hearing these words, Chen Mobai shook his head. He had rested at his own house in the land of Di Yuan, where he had no fear of beasts attacking.


    ¡°How is the situation?¡±


    ¡°Better than ever before.¡±


    The one speaking was Wang Yuanwu. Chen Mobai was stunned when he saw him; one of his hands was bandaged and hung around his neck.


    ¡°Those bastards attacked last night. We informed Uncle Ning in time, but I still lost a hand. However, I¡¯ve already reattached it with a Renewal Talisman.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai quickly looked around, noting that there were three less people in their team.


    He asked and found out that among them, one had died and two others were seriously injured and had left the team.


    Given this, it was clear that the battle last night must¡¯ve been particularly fierce.


    If only I had been here.


    Chen Mobai felt slightly guilty.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we are about to enter the final stage soon, there won¡¯t be any more casualties.¡±


    At this point, Qi Rui, understanding Chen Mobai¡¯s feelings, gave his shoulder a pat.


    Not far away, on a stone, Shi Pengyi also waved and greeted him.


    Feeling slightly relieved, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t seem to understand Qi Rui¡¯s words.


    ¡°Is it ending soon? Did the Divine Wood Sect send more reinforcements?¡±


    ¡°Old Ancestor Fu personally went to Cloud Dream Marsh and relocated to Fengyu Fort, allowing the Foundation Establishment masters from our sect to withdraw from there. Two of them were transferred to Green Light Island, ensuring a steady hold now.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but rejoice.


    Unconsciously, he had come to consider himself a part of Green Light Island.


    ¡°Now we just wait for when Old Ancestor Fu and Real Man Nu Jiang can spare time to clear out the outer areas of the Cloud Dream Marsh.¡±


    Even though the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff had split off from the Five Elements Sect, during the peace treaty, it was agreed that both factions would respond to the call and help suppress the seal left by the old ancestor Hun Yuan in case any unusual activity occurred among the Cloud Dream Marsh monsters.


    This was precisely why, every ten years, the Divine Wood Sect would station a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators at the Fengyu Fort.


    Of course, all the gains from hunting the monsters belong entirely to them.


    Markets such as Green Light Island were originally established to deal with the harvest obtained by Foundation Establishment Cultivators from hunting Demonic Beasts deep in Cloud Dream Marsh. As things progressed, the two elders of the sect discovered the profitability of these markets, hence paid it more attention.


    This time, six island markets of the Divine Wood Sect in Cloud Dream Marsh were besieged by Demonic Beasts, two of which failed to hold up and have already fallen.


    Green Light Island, being on the outermost periphery and relatively close to the mainland, didn¡¯t have many Demonic Beasts coming over. Plus, thanks to Zheng Deming¡¯s appropriate handling, it suffered the least losses.


    ¡°I¡¯ll watch over tonight.¡±


    Chen Mobai volunteered, and Wang Yuanwu didn¡¯t refuse. It was already Qi Rui¡¯s team¡¯s turn.


    It seems they¡¯ve become addicted to ambushing.


    At night, indeed, a flock of Black Plague Birds took advantage of the darkness to attack from within the black clouds.


    However, with Chen Mobai¡¯s Defense in place and the coordinated cooperation, the defense line was firmly held. Plus, Wang Yuanwu allowed his junior, Liu, to draw upon the spiritual energy from the Earth Veins and once again activate the Sacred Tree Divine Light. They finally waited until two Foundation Establishment Cultivators arrived.


    One was Ning Leshan from the Golden Cliff, and the other was Peng Bei of the Divine Wood Sect, who hurried from Wind and Rain Fort.


    The former was a Sword Cultivator, while the latter was known for hunting Demonic Beasts year-round and was extremely ruthless.


    Not a single bird from this flock of Black Plague Birds was able to flee; all were killed on this cliff.


    Even the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators felt unsatisfied, so they went out of the island and fiercely battled with two Rank-2 Bird Kings.


    However, it was the Bird Kings¡¯ home ground outside. They controlled their flock and arranged a simple battle array. The Foundation Establishment Cultivators couldn¡¯t break through and were even trapped instead.


    Only until dawn did the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, who had exhausted too much Spiritual Power, order the West Bank to launch four Sacred Tree Divine Lights, dispersing the battle array controlled by the two Rank-2 Bird Kings, and they safely retreated.


    ¡°Why haven¡¯t these damned beasts retreated yet?¡±


    After the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators came back and greeted them, they flew back to the center of the island. But Wang Yuanwu was a bit puzzled watching the flock of Black Plague Birds on the barren reef, which was only a quarter of its initial size.


    ¡°Perhaps they received orders.¡±


    The order of demonic beasts is very primitive; the lower ranks obey the higher ones.


    ¡°Maybe, we still have to be cautious, so as not to make a mistake at the last moment and let these damned beasts rush onto the island.¡±


    Wang Yuanwu, dragging his newly reattached arm that started bleeding again due to the intense battle, sat under the Spirit Tree and practiced Qi Cultivation.


    ¡°Since you¡¯re cultivated, Wang, aren¡¯t you a True Disciple of your Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai and Qi Rui were chatting while drinking on the side. Qi Rui nodded and shook his head after hearing this.


    ¡°Twenty years ago, Brother Wang was indeed a True Disciple, but he failed in Foundation Establishment, and therefore stepped down from the True Disciple¡¯s position. He¡¯s still paying off the debt for that Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    At this, Chen Mobai widened his eyes in disbelief.


    ¡°What¡¯s so surprising about that? Do you think that every True Disciple can gather ten thousand contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill? If they aren¡¯t gifted by elders, they have to borrow from sect brothers.¡±

    Qi Rui had nothing to hide from Chen Mobai. After a couple of drinks, he spilled about the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s exchange for Foundation Building Pills.


    ¡°Actually, the sect supports this. After all, the longer a Foundation Building Pill is stored, the more medicinal power it loses.¡±


    ¡°Even the most talented disciples can hardly gather ten thousand contribution points in just ten years. So to avoid wasting Foundation Building Pills, the sect allowed elders to gift contribution points or peer disciples to lend to each other.¡±


    ¡°Generally, as long as you behave appropriately, and you¡¯re a True Disciple, we¡¯re willing to lend. If, by any chance, the brother you lend to succeeds in Foundation Establishment, you would have a great favor in return. In the future, if you need to borrow contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill, won¡¯t they help you in return?¡±


    ¡°Foundation Establishment Cultivators can complete sect missions with contribution points at least ten times higher than us Qi Cultivators. If you¡¯re lucky and lend contribution points to two or three True Disciples who succeed in Foundation Establishment, you can basically borrow enough contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill..¡±

    Qi Rui¡¯s words further piqued Chen Mobai¡¯s interest in joining the Divine Wood Sect.


    Over the next two days, sporadic Black Plague Bird attacks occurred. The remaining members of Chen Mobai¡¯s team were the cream of the crop and there were no further casualties.


    ¡°Manager Wang, now that the situation is essentially stable, I won¡¯t be visiting anymore.¡±


    After essentially receiving ten Spirit Stones for free, Chen Mobai proposed to leave.


    Wang Yuanwu gave him a surprised look. For loose cultivators, the opportunity to earn Spirit Stones effortlessly without engaging in battle was rare. Some, who had initially retreated during the fiercest moments of battle, were now requesting to rejoin.


    ¡°Chen¡¯s noble act is commendable, but our Divine Wood Sect is not lacking in Spirit Stones. There¡¯s no need to feel guilty and leave.¡±


    Before Wang Yuanwu could reply, Qi Rui had spoken up from the side.


    During this period, his relationship with Chen Mobai improved significantly and he already regarded Chen as a future fellow disciple in the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Actually, I have sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough during the short battle period here and I don¡¯t want to miss it.¡±


    Chen Mobai could only force a bitter smile and make an excuse. If he could, he would also like to earn Spirit Stones here by slaying demonic beasts daily.


    However, he would need to go to the Cinnabarite Institute for the Magic Duel tomorrow. This was of great importance to him and he simply couldn¡¯t afford to be late.


    ¡°Indeed, that is more important.¡±


    Wang Yuanwu and Qi Rui respectively did not hold him back when he put forth his cultivation breakthrough as the reason for leaving.


    The former fetched an enrollment record from his storage bag, crossed out Chen Mobai¡¯s name, and then handed him a certificate.


    Qi Rui pulled Chen Mobai aside and gave him a notebook summarizing his own talisman making techniques.


    ¡°As you have decided to cultivate the Immortal Longevity Sutra and the Crimson Flame Sword Decree, you can familiarize yourself in advance with the methods to refine the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman.¡±


    ¡°Once you can successfully make this talisman, any one of the masters will accept you as their disciple.¡±


    ¡°Of course, if someone asks you, just say that you bought the talisman making notebook outside and don¡¯t mention that I gave it to you.¡±


    The Five Elements Sect had five-line inheritances and distributed numerous Qi Cultivation techniques and fundamental spells to the secular dynasties in the Eastern Wilderness, aiming to recruit ordinary people with Spiritual Roots. Therefore, people who stood out were basically admitted into their door due to practicing the Five Elements Sect¡¯s techniques.


    Thus, there were also many cultivation techniques and talismans from the Five Elements Sect for sale in the Southstream Market.


    The Blackwater Cultivation technique in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand was thought to be of this origin by Old Man He.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Qi.¡±


    This address as ¡®Brother¡¯ made Qi Rui burst into laughter.


    ¡°Brother Chen!¡±


    He extended his hand, giving Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulder a forceful pat.


    Chen Mobai returned home with the notebook in hand, its rough binding and coarse paper familiar. It gave him a warm feeling inside.


    Not everything in the Tianhe Realm was about deception and competition.


    People like Wang Yuanwu and Qi Rui from the Divine Wood Sect, and even Qi Hou from the beginning, all left impressions of resilient cultivators full of humanity.


    Of course, this could also be a reflection of the harsh environment for loose cultivators. Surrounded by predators eager to rob cultivation resources, the cultivators outside the major sects of the Tianhe Realm became incredibly ruthless.


    If it were possible to cultivate steadily and improve, most cultivators would be willing to stay peacefully in their cave dwelling and avoid trouble.


    Sitting down at his desk, Chen Mobai thoroughly read through the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman notebook.


    To craft this sword talisman, it requires a Talisman Maker to cultivate the Red Flame Sword Jue, only then can the Red Flame Sword Qi be sealed into the talisman paper.


    Of course, it was written in the notes that the senior cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect had also tried to see if the same type of fire attribute sword Qi could be used as a substitute to achieve the same effect.


    It was later proven that it was possible to do so.


    However, some brush strokes and lines need to be adjusted to accommodate the balance between the Sword Qi and the talisman paper.


    The ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡± could not be created easily.


    You have to start from the Rank-1 intermediate grade ¡°Crimson Flame Talisman¡± and ¡°Sword Qi Talisman¡±, then combine the two talisman scripts to get the Rank-1 high grade ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡±. After that, there is the ¡°Double Sword Talisman¡±, and the ¡°Triple Sword Talisman¡±.


    However, Qi Rui himself only crafted single sword talismans.


    He attempted to craft a double sword talisman for several years and only succeeded twice. After that, he didn¡¯t bother to continue.


    After all, the demand for single sword talismans is greater, and they sell better.


    Qi Rui did try to craft the triple sword talisman, but after failing twenty or thirty times, he simply could not afford to invest any further.


    Even though the triple sword talisman is still a Rank-1 high grade, it is already in the realm of a Rank-2 Talisman Maker.


    Many Talisman Makers, in order to increase their success rate, are directly using Rank-2 talisman paper and talisman ink, Qi Rui being just a Qi Practitioner at the eighth level, simply could not afford such investment.


    Chen Mobai immediately opened Xianmen Web and checked the prices of these items.


    Rank-2 talisman paper costs 50 Good Deed Points for a large piece, and an extra 10 Good Deed Points for cutting.


    As for the talisman ink, it depends on the type. Since the ink for each talisman script is basically different, most need to be custom-made after reaching Rank-2.


    A small bottle of ink for some commonly used Rank-2 talisman scripts can be mass-produced, so the price isn¡¯t high ¨C it¡¯s 100 Good Deeds Points.


    Chen Mobai looked at the dozen or so pages in Qi Rui¡¯s notes about ink making. They were full of his complaints stating that nine-tenths of his time in crafting talismans was wasted in ink preparation.


    Then he looked at the specific steps for preparing the ink.


    The material was manageable. The Giant Tree Ridge area produced a cinnabar known as ¡®Chi Zhu¡¯.


    However, this kind of cinnabar is extraordinarily hard and requires a Qi Practitioner to grind it with a special tool for a full three days and nights to get it crushed into a usable, fine powder state.


    After the grinding, a Spirit Yellow Glue extracted from Spirit Wood needs to be added, along with a certain proportion of Spiritual Water to facilitate the fusion. Then, it¡¯s slowly boiled in a specially-made furnace.


    This small fire requires a kind of soft-burning Spirit Wood, which is an additional investment.


    When the ink in the furnace has thickened enough to no longer flow freely, it has to be dried in the shade ¨C another step that requires another three full days and nights.


    Only once the ink has completely solidified can it be taken out.


    In this process, the upper layer of the ink slab will be slightly yellow, the bottom layer will be purple, but only the bright red in the middle layer is the Rank-2 ink.


    After separating the three types of Chi Zhu, the last step is filtration, in which impurities in the ink will have to be precipitated and filtered out.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The duration of filtration depends on the quality of the previous grinding and the grade of the raw materials. The first time Qi Rui made ink, due to incorrect technique, he filtered for a whole month without achieving the required standard, eventually leading to the discard of the ink.


    It¡¯s no surprise that in these notes, the process of ink preparation is the only one he complains about.


    When crafting a triple sword talisman, the best way to have a higher success rate is to use Rank-2 bright red ink.


    Of course, if you¡¯re a master, you can be successful even if you use slightly yellow or slightly purple cinnabar.


    Upon reading these steps, Chen Mobai found them quite troublesome, but he had his own method..

 Chapter 104 - Chapter 104: Chapter 104: The First Day of Magic Duel_l

    Chapter 104: Chapter 104: The First Day of Magic Duel_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai picked up the phone and dialed a number.


    ¡°Mom, how much is your factory selling a piece of Rank-2 talisman paper now?¡±


    ¡°35 Good Deed Points for a large sheet. Why, do you want to earn some pocket money again? You should focus on your entrance exam at the moment. If you¡¯re short on money, tell me. Although we¡¯re having financial difficulties and still owe the bank a loan for your dad¡¯s Foundation Establishment¡­¡±


    Avoiding to hear any more lecturing, Chen Mobai hurriedly asked the question he most wanted to know and interrupted his mom¡¯s tirade.


    ¡°The machine your workshop uses to mix talisman ink, which spiritual instrument manufacturer did you order it from? It seems all you have to do is put the raw materials in, and the talisman ink that comes out is not only clean and tidy but also evenly colored and in good quality.¡±


    ¡°Zhou¡¯s Sixth Factory. That machine wasn¡¯t cheap, it was a whopping 200,000 Good Deed Points. However, we got it customized only because the boss bears good relations with them¡­¡±


    Listening to Tang Panchui go on and on, Chen Mobai finally managed to hang up the phone.


    200,000 Good Deed Points for one, that¡¯s too expensive.


    So, he checked on the Immortal Gate Network to see if there were alternatives. He actually found several merchants specializing in custom-made machines and decided to inquire from the background. The prices varied, but even the cheapest demanded to start from 100,000 Good Deed Points to take the order. Disheartened, Chen Mobai checked his account balance and clicked out of the web page.


    However, he thought of the Wood Spiritual charm shop that he often bought from.


    Considering such a significant number of charms were produced in a short period, it was impossible for everything to be handcrafted. Yet, from the few conversations he had with the shopkeeper, he realized the owner wasn¡¯t a wealthy man. So, how did he solve this problem?


    After typing and sending a series of texts, the shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual charm shop responded immediately.


    After all, he was a valued customer.


    The shopkeeper sent him several links.


    Chen Mobai clicked the first link and found it was a small crusher.


    The shopkeeper told him how he bought this kind of crusher to crush cinnabar. The cheapest model costs only 3,000 Good Deed Points per piece, but it can only crush up to a particle fineness of 100 mesh.


    However, it¡¯s sufficient to prepare for creating Rank-1 talismans.


    Not knowing the particle fineness required by the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Cinnabarite Institute, Chen Mobai simply added it to his shopping cart.


    Moving on to other links, they were respectively mini temperature pots for boiling the talisman ink, spiritual energy jars for fire creation, filters and glass bottles, and at the end, standardized small aluminum tubes that were used to store semi-solid talisman ink in Di Yuan Star.


    Unable to afford one large machine combining all functions costing 200,000 Good Deed Points, the individual components came down to less than 10,000 Good Deed Points.


    Chen Mobai sent a thumbs-up emoji to the shopkeeper, and then ordered some charms in his shop.


    As his account balance was running low, Chen Mobai could only add items introduced by the shopkeeper to his shopping cart.


    After all, he was primarily focusing on the entrance exam magic duel.


    He would leave the charm creation to practice slowly after he entered college. As he walked downstairs, he saw several parcels on the coffee table.


    They were the Quicksand Talismans, Golden Light Talismans, Wind Blade Talismans, he had purchased. After unwrapping all the packages, he pocketed a few of each.


    Leaving his house, he headed to the cultivation gym where he had previously spent time with Yan Bingxuan, rented a Spells Chamber for an hour to practice, used one of each charm to confirm the feel and functions, and then left satisfied.


    Next, he took the bus to the Cinnabarite Institute to scout out the battlefield.


    ¡°It¡¯s quite a spectacle.¡±


    The Cinnabarite Institute is located in Danxia Mountain, where fortress-like peaks and clusters of peaks loom. The landscape is filled with oddly-shaped rocks, stone bridges, and stone caves, all red color from the layers of sandstone reaching into the clouds.


    And their magic duel platform was located atop these towering peaks.


    Once he rode the special cable car to the top of the peak, Chen Mobai looked at the expansive scenery below and could not help but feel like he was on top of the world.


    ¡°Over here.¡±


    At this time, Chan Si who had been waiting at a snack bar at the peak, waved at Chen Mobai who had just arrived.


    ¡°Hello, Teacher Chan.¡±


    Before coming, Chen Mobai had contacted Chan Si, who had helped him a lot, even buying his Spirit Ascension Powder. This really gave him his startup capital, and he had been wanting to find an opportunity to express his thanks properly.


    So he planned to treat her to a meal today.


    ¡°Is this the student you mentioned?¡±


    Sitting beside Chan Si was a sister with a very generous smile.


    After being introduced, Chen Mobai understood that she was the one who had bought the Spirit Ascension Powder. Her name was Shen Juanxiu.


    So, this meal was covered by this well-off sister student. When they heard that he was participating in the entrance examination of the Daoist Academy, both ladies promised to come and cheer him on.


    ¡°Goodbye, Teacher Chan, Sister Shen.¡±


    Having enjoyed a meal, and toured all the arenas, visited all the essential spots under their guidance, Chen Mobai was ready to leave. But he was stopped by the two ladies.


    ¡°You will have the magic duel tomorrow, don¡¯t go home. Rest well here tonight so you won¡¯t be exhausted from travelling tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°True, there are many hotels near the school gate. I can cover the room cost. With so many students coming tomorrow, traffic might be densely packed in Red Sandstone City. If you¡¯re late and deemed a no-show, wouldn¡¯t you regret it for the rest of your life?¡±


    After listening to the suggestion from Chan Si and Shen Juanxiu, Chen Mobai found their words to be reasonable.


    However, he wouldn¡¯t dare to let Shen Juanxiu pay for his hotel room. Seeing him firmly refuse, both ladies couldn¡¯t help but giggle. After encouraging him to do his best, they left together.


    That night, even with Chen Mobai¡¯s state of mind, he felt somewhat anxious and hopeful.


    In the realm of immortals, qualifying for a good university represented the greatest chance of changing one¡¯s fate.


    At four in the morning, he woke up, rearranged the talismans in his backpack, and ultimately selected the combination he was most confident in.


    After all, Qiao Xingwen was said to be quite skilled, according to Xu Yuan and the rest.


    If his boat capsized in the gutter, there wouldn¡¯t be a chance for a rematch.


    A Rank-1 high-grade Crimson Flame Sword Talisman.


    A Rank-1 intermediate-grade Green Arrow Talisman and Water Sword Talisman.


    A Rank-1 lower-grade Coiling Talisman, Wooden Shield charm, Wood Prison Talisman, Water Storage Talisman.


    Before dawn, Chen Mobai ate a bowl of hot and sour noodles at the school gate, then arrived at his own arena. He sat on a long stone bench at the edge of the peak, watching the distant clouds rolling and the rising sun, with the sunlight shining brightly.


    It wasn¡¯t just him; several students who had arrived even earlier were walking around restlessly.


    One moment they would take out their prepared talismans to check, and the next they would swap a couple of talismans and re-establish a set.


    ¡°This mentality isn¡¯t right, getting on the stage with this mindset is like delivering victory to the opponent.¡±


    Seeing these people, Chen Mobai could only shake his head quietly.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He felt like he could defeat ten of such players easily.


    ¡°Eh, you¡¯re here so early.¡±


    The one speaking was his schoolmate, Shi Jingjing. Beside her was Cao Yaling, who was also due for the magic duel on this platform. They too seemed to have stayed nearby last night. Seeing Chen Mobai sitting unmoving, they walked over hand in hand.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be too nervous, just express yourself. It¡¯s not a big deal if you lose, after all, your opponent is Qiao Xingwen, he¡¯s in the top hundred in terms of odds.¡± ¡°There are only around 280 people in total.¡±


    Shi Jingjing¡¯s words made Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but retort..

    Chapter 105: Chapter 10 5 One Minutel


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°After you¡¯re done, wait for me here, I will come find you.¡± After saying her goodbyes to Chen Mobai, Shi Jingjing turned to Cao Yaling and told her the same thing. The latter nodded quietly, standing still.


    -She doesn¡¯t talk very much. If you get eliminated early, can you wait for her to finish?¡±


    After Shi Jingjing left, she suddenly returned to Chen Mobai¡¯s side, pointed at Cao Yaling, and asked him for a favor.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Chen Mobai agreed without hesitation.


    As the top examinee of Immortal Sect High School no. 5 for this year¡¯s examination, he naturally assumed the role of their team leader.


    Looking after his team members was his duty.


    Soon, students arrived at the peak in groups of two or three.


    Chen Mobai saw his opponent.


    The odds website provided by Shi Jingjing had photos and information of everyone. He just needed to look it up once to remember it.


    ¡°He has a powerful aura.¡±


    Cao Yaling, who had mysteriously appeared by Chen Mobai¡¯s side, also noticed Qiao Xingwen. She adjusted her glasses, her eyes sparkling with an unreadable light behind the lenses. She seemed to have noticed something and casually pointed it out.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you don¡¯t like talking?¡±


    ¡°If she is here, I will not speak.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai looked perplexed as he sized up this refined and quiet female classmate with round glasses.


    ¡°Three of his fingers on his right hand have a larger meridian pathway than the other two, indicating he might have been practicing a spell similar to ¡®Spirit Pill¡¯¡± Cao Yaling continued, ignoring Chen Mobai¡¯s reaction. She lifted her right hand, extending her three slender and fair fingers towards Chen Mobai as a demonstration.


    ¡°Thanks.¡±


    After a long pause, Chen Mobai finally managed to muster two words in reply to this perplexing classmate.


    Although he felt confident facing Qiao Xingwen even without this information, he knew Cao Yaling had good intentions and he could only offer his thanks.


    ¡°My ¡®Spirit Eye¡¯ technique still needs improvement. I could only see so much.¡± ¡°That¡¯s more than enough, your ¡®Spirit Eye¡¯ appears to be same technique practiced by Shi Jingjing,¡± Chen Mobai pointed out.


    ¡°Yes, my master is also her father. Our Spirit Root Attributes are quite similar, so we practice the same Cultivation Technique.¡±


    ¡°Between the two of you, whose ¡®Spirit Eye¡¯ is more formidable?¡±


    Cao Yaling hesitated for a moment then shook her head without giving a direct answer.


    Nonetheless, Chen Mobai knew the answer. It would seem that Cao Yaling might be even more formidable, rendering her as the most capable among the female students in Immortal Sect High School no. 5.


    -Now, will the two students whose names I call please come up to the stage.¡± just then, a cultivator dressed in Cinnabarite Institute¡¯s teacher uniform flew to the centre of the newly erected stone platform atop the summit. With a list of today¡¯s matches in hand, he only spoke softly but his voice clearly reached the ears of all the students and spectators present on the summit.


    ¡°I¡¯m going up now. Remember, stay here,¡± Chen Mobai rose from the long bench. The first round of the competition was between him and Qiao Xingwen.


    His initial plan was to finish his fight quickly because he had promised to show around Chan Sze and Shen Juanxiu around the Cinnabarite Institute yesterday and take them to lunch as a form of gratitude.


    However, since he promised Shi Jingjing to keep an eye on Cao Yaling, he wouldn¡¯t break his word. Moreover, Chen Sze and Shen Juanxiu hadn¡¯t arrived yet.


    What a pity they won¡¯t get to see him swiftly deal with his opponent.


    ¡°Chen Mobai from High School no. 5-¡±


    ¡°Qiao Xingwen from High School no. 3.¡±


    Just then, the Cinnabarite Institute teacher on the platform called out the names of the two competitors.


    Both of them immediately made their way to the stage with the Propulsion Technique and exchanged glances.


    ¡ö¡öThere are no issues with the rules, right? Only the use of spells and talismans of the prescribed grade and quantity are allowed.¡±


    After the referee teacher finished speaking, Chen Mobai and Qiao Xingwen nodded. The latter had a square face and a crew cut, with a tall, lean figure and a robust air. From his outward appearance, he appeared to be highly formidable.


    ¡°A Qi Cultivation Level 7 against a Qi Cultivation Level 6, completely one-sided.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯d rather say it¡¯s a gift match, the first round is just to warm things up,¡± some students were whispering to each other.


    ¡°Today, among all the students on this stage, Qiao Xingwen¡¯s abilities probably rank in the top five.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just glad I wasn¡¯t picked, an automatic win for Qiao Xingwen.¡±


    The chatter around him made Qiao Xingwen, who was even disciplined in the military, break out in a smile.


    Today, he was the protagonist.


    He extended his thumb and little finger of his right hand and, according to the strategy he had already planned, he would first test the efficiency of his opponent¡¯s talismans with his two weakest Spirit Pills. Once the opponent¡¯s strategies were exposed, he intended to finish them off with his three strongest Spirit Pills.


    This first round¡¯s opponent, a mere Qi Cultivation Level 6, possibly wouldn¡¯t even make him use his talismans.


    A confident Qiao Xingwen made his move.


    One minute later.


    Everyone below the stage had their mouths wide open, disbelief evident on their faces.


    Just like that?


    Has he actually been trained in the army?


    Chen Mobai looked at his unconscious opponent, shook his head, and then turned to the referee teacher who had just descended from the platform and was about to take a drink of water.


    ¡°Hmm, for the first round, Chen Mobai wins.¡±


    The teacher flew back up onto the stage and confirmed that Qiao Xingwen had indeed lost his capacity to fight and was unconscious, quickly announcing the result.


    After paying respect to the teacher, Chen Mobai descended from the stage, ignored the shocked gazes of dozens of onlookers, and calmly returned to his previous spot on the long stone bench.


    Cao Yaling, being a good girl, had followed his instructions to not move from her spot.


    Of course, it was mainly because Chen Mobai was too quick.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    Her mouth slightly ajar, Cao Yaling wanted to say something but didn¡¯t know how to start.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, you¡¯re in the third match. It¡¯s going to start soon. Did you observe your opponent? If your Spirit Eye picked up on anything, I can probably help design a strategy since I have some proficiency with magic duels,¡± Chen Mobai, considering himself as the team leader, felt it was essential to not only look after his classmates in between matches but also offer his knowledge and experience from the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°No need. My opponent is an average person with Qi Cultivation Level-6.1 have a 98% chance of winning,¡± Cao Yaling adjusted her glasses and glanced at a male student with a bowl-cut nearby. Her tone was calm but infused with confidence.


    ¡°Alright then, I hope that all of us from our school can progress to the next round in the first round itself. That¡¯s the only way we can do justice to the institution that nurtured us,¡± Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Cao Yaling roll her eyes involuntarily.


    This guy is too formal for his age. Where did he learn these bureaucratic words from?

    Half an hour later, Shi Jingjing rushed over.


    ¡°Why are you so late? I have something to do in the morning,¡± Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t too pleased with Shi Jingjing¡¯s tardiness.


    ¡°You were eliminated quickly, of course. My opponent had a set of Tortoise Shield Talismans. He kept me at bay for ten whole minutes. I was very close to using a Rank-1 high-grade talisman,¡± Shi Jingjing retorted.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t bother arguing. Chan Sze and her wealthier classmate had just sent him a message. They would be here soon.


    ¡°I¡¯m leaving her in your care. I have to go..¡±

 Chapter 106 - Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Rising Fame_l

    Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Rising Fame_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°What did you say?!!!¡±


    At the peak, Shi Jingjing widened her eyes in disbelief, screaming out loud after hearing about Chen Mobai¡¯s combat achievements.


    -He took out Qiao Xingwen in just one minute! You¡¯re not under some illusion spell, are you?¡±


    Cao Yaling knew Shi Jingjing wouldn¡¯t believe her. If Cao Yaling hadn¡¯t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn¡¯t have believed it either.


    Even she, a cultivator of Qi Cultivation Rank-8, couldn¡¯t take out Qiao Xingwen in just one minute.


    Perhaps only someone like Gong Xiangyu with Qi Cultivation Rank-9, along with the use of powerful charms and spells, could do such a thing.


    ¡°The video has been uploaded, you can see for yourself.


    Cao Yaling opened the betting site, where one magic duel video after another


    had been uploaded according to the bracket.


    She selected the match between Chen Mobai and Qiao Xingwen, clicked on the small triangular button between the portraits of both players, and immediately began to buffer a short video.


    Really short, just one minute.


    Shi Jingjing immediately leaned over to watch.


    She saw that after the referee stepped down, Qiao Xingwen tantahzingly launched two Spirit Pills, and Chen Mobai avoided the attack with a conventional Propulsion Technique.


    But that was exactly what Qiao Xingwen had anticipated. He predicted Chen Mobai¡¯s landing point from the Propulsion Technique, and three more powerful spirit Pills burst out from his fingertips, calculating every possible direction Chen Mobai could move.


    Isn¡¯t this over then?


    Just as Shi Jingjing was thinking this, a Wooden Shield charm lit up in Chen


    Mobai¡¯s hand.


    Hmm, a pretty good response.


    Just as Shi Jingjing thought this, Chen Mobai threw out another charm with an even brighter spiritual light.


    Watery light shimmered like waves but in an instant it formed into a sword, striking in front of Qiao Xingwen.


    A Rank-1 intermediate grade ¡°Water Sword Talisman¡±, so the opponent was taken down just like that?


    just as Shi Jingjing was grappling with her confusion, Qiao Xingwen confidently used an Earth Shield Talisman, and with just this lower-grade defensive talisman, was able to block the Water Sword Talisman that Chen Mobai seemed to have thrown out in panic.


    Then, Qiao Xingwen¡¯s right hand spread open, and five Spirit Pills exploded, covering the advancing Chen Mobai who had to stop and dodge left and right to avoid the Spirit Pill attack.


    Just as one of the Spirit Pills was about to touch Chen Mobai, Qiao Xingwen suddenly froze and slumped unconscious.


    Shi Jingjing immediately rewound the video, replayed it at half speed, and watched three times over, even using her Spirit Eye to discern what had actually happened.


    She saw that the water from the Water Sword Talisman, which had originally been blocked by the Earth Shield Talisman, had turned into a stream that flowed beside Qiao Xingwen¡¯s foot. And when he used the Spirit Pills, this stream of water seemed to possess spirituality, like a Spirit snake, it flowed from the edge of the raised shield on the stone platform at his feet to behind him, rising up to the back of Qiao Xingwen¡¯s head.


    Then, a transparent water rod slammed down heavily.


    Without any defense, Qiao Xingwen was knocked unconscious.


    ¡°Water Controlling Technique?¡±


    Shi Jingjing¡¯s face showed a hint of hesitation, Cao Yaling lightly nodded. ¡°The Water Sword Talisman was merely a decoy. Qiao Xingwen believed he had blocked this Rank-1 intermediate grade attacking talisman, directing all his attention towards any possible Rank-1 superior grade talisman that Chen Mobai could have potentially used. But he didn¡¯t anticipate that while the sword of the Water Sword Talisman was just an illusion, the real attack was the water after the sword dispersed.¡±


    ¡°Because we could use talismans, we all placed our trump cards on them, forgetting that the main purpose of a Magic Duel was to test our flexible use of spells.¡±


    ¡°Chen Mobai, although he seems average, has grasped the core of all this. A simple Water Controlling Technique, combined with a Water Sword Talisman and an appropriate strategy, was enough to easily defeat a powerful opponent like Qiao Xingwen.¡±


    Cao Yaling personally witnessed Chen Mobai step by step designing this strategy, making Qiao Xingwen believe he controlled the overall situation, but then using the simplest of Water Controlling Technique to defeat his opponent. Before Shi Jingjing arrived, she had analyzed this intricate and magnificent duel in her head countless times.


    But the more she analyzed, the more she admired Chen Mobai.


    Who knew dueling could be so simple!


    There was no need for powerful talismans or advanced cultivation spells. Just one useful spell at the right time could easily crush an opponent who seemed unbeatable.


    ¡°Where did he go?¡±


    Shi Jingjing looked up and asked.


    ¡°He reportedly made plans to have lunch with Professor Chan.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯re going to¡­ no, we¡¯re going to join them for lunch!¡± Before Cao Yaling¡¯s eyes could widen in surprise, Shi Jingjing had already dragged her in the direction Chen Mobai had departed, while simultaneously sending a message to him.


    The two had previously added each other as friends when Chen Mobai wanted to ask her about the betting site.


    But Chen Mobai was apparently not using his phone and had ignored her. Just as Shi Jingjing was about to give up, she saw that Professor Chan had made a call.


    ¡°How did you guys get here?¡±


    In the snack street of Cinnabarite Institute, Chen Mobai returned after ordering five small dishes to find several familiar classmates sitting at his table.


    in addition to the familiar Song Zheng and Mo Simin, there were Xu Yuan, Shi Yuanqing, and others.


    Basically, more than half of the students from their school had arrived. ¡°I¡¯m your teacher. Since you¡¯re here at the Cinnabarite Institute to take your admission test, it¡¯s only natural for me as your host to welcome you, so I called everyone.¡±


    Chan Si, with a smile, sat down at the end of the long table. He gestured to the restaurant owner and ordered food for two more tables.


    ¡°I guess I won¡¯t be buying lunch after all.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt frustrated at how difficult it was for him to treat Chan Si to a meal.


    ¡°You¡¯ll get your chance. After all, you¡¯ve entered the next round, haven¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Huh, how did you know? According to the odds, wasn¡¯t my chance of defeating Qiao Xingwen only 1%?¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t yet told Chan Si and Fu Xuejie about his duel results when he met them.


    ¡°At first, I thought you had been eliminated and didn¡¯t want to bring up that sad topic but now your duel video is being widely shared in the forums of Red Sandstone City.¡±


    Shen Juanxiu looked at Chen Mobai, whose eyes were brimming with excitement. After hearing this, he immediately took out his phone and entered the forum.


    [Amazing upset-the Rank-7 Cultivator is defeated by a Rank-6] [The Magic Duel Artwork of the Fifth High School Top Scholar-just one simple Water Controlling Technique can turn the tide.]


    [Is the Third High School just too weak, or is the Fifth High much too strong?] [Such devious tactics.]

    After seeing the titles of the first dozen or so posts with small flame symbols, Chen Mobai, full of excitement, clicked to enter.


    Reading the complimentary comments about him made him involuntarily reveal a happy smile.


    Then, Chan Si and the others watched as Chen Mobai actually posted a message directly on the forum.


    [Thankyou all for your discussions. I, Chen Mobai, will continue to honor the Fifth High School¡¯s reputation in this Magic Duel. Please continue to support our school.]

 Chapter 107 - Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Wait for you at the final_l

    Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Wait for you at the final_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Unfortunately, this post was quickly drowned out.


    No one believed him, and the only two responses were from two students from the third high school. They were disgruntled because of Qiao Xingwen¡¯s defeat and upon seeing this post, they vented without confirming the truth.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t bother to argue with them, and Shi Jingjing and Cao Yalmg arrived just in time.


    ¡°Basically all who have advanced have arrived. Those who haven¡¯t should have


    lost and are too embarrassed to show up.¡±


    Mo Simin did a headcount and found six people missing.


    She sat next to Chen Mobai and quietly asserted her judgment.


    ¡°Since everyone is here, let¡¯s start eating.¡¯


    Chen Mobai was a bit hungry, seeing the table full of food, he couldn¡¯t help but


    pick up the chopsticks.


    ¡°What about Yan Bingxuan, her match is the last one.¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t she get a guaranteed spot and is no longer participating?


    ¡°It seems that the representative of the Nature Studies Academy added her name, saying that the opportunity to practice Magic Duel is rare, and she


    should not miss it.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai could only marvel.


    In no time, Yan Bingxuan arrived.


    She brought two unknown people, one with a constant squint, always laughing


    at everything, apparently very carefree.


    The other was a gloomy woman dressed in long-sleeved black attire, revealing her slender limbs and curvaceous figure. She was also wearing a large hat with a round top, which hid half of her face in shadow.


    just looking at her made her feel ominous and wanting to stay away.


    ¡°Who are these two?¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could speak, Mo Simin pulled Yan Bingxuan to her side and asked casually.


    ¡°The laughing one is Kong Feichen, and the constantly frowning one is Yang


    Jing.¡±


    After Yan Bingxuan spoke, Chen Mobai had not yet reacted, but Mo Simin gasped.


    Not only her, but the schoolmates who were preparing to eat all turned their heads tolook at the two of them.


    Even Chansi raised her head in surprise to look at the two people who had called for noodles at the noodle store at the entrance of the snack street and casually sat down to eat.


    ¡°I feel I¡¯ve heard these two names somewhere.¡±


    Song Zheng murmured to himself, and Chen Mobai also frowned.


    ¡°They are the two Different Spiritual Roots from the second high school, Wind Spiritual Root Kong Feichen, Dark Spirit Root Yang Jing, both are at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.¡±


    ¡°Along with Gong Xiangyu from the first high school and Yan Feng from Yuheng Private High School, they are the only four individuals at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation in our batch.¡±


    ¡°Because they have Different Spiritual Roots, they were admitted to Nature Studies Academy when they were in their first year of high school. However, given the opportunity to enter the four Daoist Academies, they certainly wouldn¡¯t pass it up. Moreover, the Different Spiritual Root reaps twice the result with half the effort when practicing matching spells, and they might be more terrifying than Gong Xiangyu and Yan Feng.


    As expected of the well-informed Shi Jingjing, she immediately found out the complete information on these two people.


    ¡°So they¡¯re Different Spiritual Roots, no wonder.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked enlightened.


    in the world of immortals, more than half of the Different Spiritual Roots choose to attend Nature Studies Academy.


    Since Yan Bingxuan is an Ice Spirit Root, if it weren¡¯t for the entrance exam of Magic Duel, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing might have joined Nature Studies Academy with her.


    ¡°They¡¯ve been listening to my aunt¡¯s lectures with me recently.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan said while eating.


    The representative from the Nature Studies Academy this time turned out to be her aunt, who is at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment level. She seems to want to sever all her worldly ties before Core Formation, so she personally came to accept Yan Bingxuan as her closed-door disciple.


    Since Kong Feichen and Yang Jing are rare Different Spiritual Roots, the Nature Studies Academy also wanted to incorporate such outstanding talents into the school. So after Yan Qiongzhi arrived in Red Sandstone City, she simply called them over to teach with Yan Bingxuan.


    If it weren¡¯t for the chance to get into the four Daoist Academies through this Magic Duel, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing would¡¯ve agreed to join Nature Studies Academy after receiving such excellent treatment.


    ¡°Let¡¯s invite them over for the meal.¡±


    Chansi had ordered food to fill two large tables which was too much for them to finish, so she requested Yan Bingxuan to call Kong Feichen and Yang Jing to come and eat with them.


    The former immediately put down his noodles with a cheerful smile and casually sat down to enjoy the feast.


    However, Yang Jing declined with a shake of her head.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mind her. She likes being alone. The more people there are, the more uncomfortable she feels.¡±


    As they both came from the second high school, Kong Feichen was very familiar with Yang Jing and when he saw Chansi going over to invite her in person, he immediately stood up to stop her.


    ¡°What kind of Different Spiritual Root is Dark Spirit Root?¡±


    Although Chen Mobai knew that this category existed among Different Spiritual Roots, this type of Spiritual Root is said to be seen once in a hundred years, and those who have achieved something are extremely rare.


    The highest realm reached by one was a Core Formation real person.


    ¡°It seems to be about cultivating Yin spiritual power. In the ancient times, this type of Spiritual Root was a highly sought-after genius among the demon paths.¡±


    Shi Jingjing came over and answered his question.


    The Demon Path has been extinct for five thousand years, utterly exterminated by the Righteous Hall of the Celestial Sect.


    Chen Mobai muttered in his heart, and also gave up on his inquiry about Yang Jing.


    From the moment he saw the two of them come with Yan Bingxuan, he instinctively felt their strength.


    No wonder they are Different Spiritual Roots, and at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation. If they were to face him, they should be formidable opponents.


    He originally thought that the Magic Duel would be rather dull.


    Especially after he easily defeated Qiao Xingwen, who was touted by Xu Yuan and others as impressive but turned out to be not up to par, this feeling intensified.


    But after seeing Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, Chen Mobai felt that he might not be able to dominate this Magic Duel so effortlessly.


    After all, he is currently only at the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation, facing opponents two realms higher.


    He still needs to design a good strategy.


    Throughout the meal, Chen Mobai was thinking about how to respond if he met Kong Feichen and Yang Jing.


    Kong Feichen was fine, Wind Spiritual Root is the most common Different Spiritual Root, and there are many references.


    But for the Dark Spirit Root, there were no related posts even on the auxiliary cultivation software.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I have heard a lot about you.


    just as Chen Mobai was thinking about defeating them, Kong Feichen walked over with a smile and greeted him.


    ¡°Do we know each other?¡±


    ¡°We didn¡¯t before, but I saw your video where you swiftly defeated your opponent in the Magic Duel. In all honesty, even if I went up there, I would¡¯ve at most performed the same way.¡±


    Kong Feichen¡¯s words were full of confidence. Chen Mobai looked him up and down, and then nodded slightly.


    ¡°Yes, you might also defeat Qiao Xingwen in under a minute.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After hearing his words, it was Kong Feichen who was taken aback, and the smile on his face disappeared.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I hope you don¡¯t lose before facing me.¡±


    Finally, Kong Feichen extended his right hand to Chen Mobai and said this sentence sincerely.


    Under the gaze of more than twenty students from the fifth high school, Chen Mobai also extended his hand, nodded in agreement, and replied,


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll wait for you at the finals..¡±

 Chapter 108 - Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Further Victory_l

    Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Further Victory_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Kong Feichen thought people who could show off like him were already rare, but he didn¡¯t expect that in tiny Red Sandstone City, there was someone who could outdo him.


    He wanted to say something to recover his pride.


    But with his limited experience, he couldn¡¯t think of anything more bragging than Chen Mobai¡¯s phrase ¡°See you at the finals¡±.


    just when he can¡¯t help scratching his head, Yang Jing finished his noodles, indicating it¡¯s time to leave.


    ¡°See you at the final.¡±


    In the end, that was the only thing Kong Feichen can come up with.


    Once they left, the remaining students at High School Number 5 turned their gaze toward Chen Mobai. Xu Yuan gave him a thumbs up. He also had a strong self-pride, but he didn¡¯t even have the courage to challenge Kong Feichen, a ninth-rank Qi Cultivator with a Wind Spiritual Root.


    ¡°Eat up, the food is getting cold.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t feel at all braggy about what he had just said, he


    was only confident in himself.


    Meanwhile.


    At the same time, Gong Xiangyu, who was cultivating his Qi in a Rank-2 Spiritual Vein Cave Dwelling at the Cinnabarite Institute, also saw a short video sent by his classmates.


    He pressed play and saw one of the two guys dueling was Chen Mobai, the one he was told to watch out for.


    After watching, he silently turned off the phone and continued to meditate and


    practice Qi.


    Such a rival was somewhat interesting.


    He was initially worried that Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t be able to compete against him and would be eliminated.


    But now, he felt relieved.


    After lunch, many classmates decided to rent the Spiritual Vein Cave Dwellings provided by the Cinnabarite Institute at the recommendation of Jianshi.


    Chen Mobai originally planned to go home, but after thinking about it, he realized he wasn¡¯t short of money.


    After all, this was the entrance exam that could change his life. Although he was confident, he still needed to take it seriously.


    The next round was in seven days, and the round trip would waste almost a


    day.


    If something unexpected occurred, maybe he could master a spell, or possibly break through a realm.


    By staying here, he could also keep an eye on his opponents.


    Although there was information and uploaded battle videos on the odds website.


    Some things, however, were more certain when witnessed with his own eyes.


    The first day of dueling ended in the evening.


    After watching a few interesting matches, Chen Mobai rented a Cave Dwelling and found it was very cheap.


    Just showing the entrance exam certificate, the Cinnabarite Institute had a special reservation of 200 top-tier Rank-1 Spiritual Vein Cave Dwellings for them, costing only 20 Good Deed Points a day symbolically.


    Chen Mobai paid the fees for a month.


    Early the next morning, he arrived at the peak arena of Zone B.


    The winner here would be his next opponent.


    What Chen Mobai didn¡¯t expect, however, was that he had already become famous.


    As soon as he arrived, many people were secretly looking at him and whispering. Even the two competitors on stage looked his way, one of them even showed a provocative expression.


    In the end, a student named Shen Jian from the Number One High School won.


    Those who dared to provoke usually had some strength.


    Although Shen Jian was only a Rank- 6 Qi Cultivator, he had mastered a set of boxing techniques. After his opponent used up all his talismans, he easily won the duel with close-quarters combat.


    This method was somewhat similar to the Tianhe Realm.


    Cultivators there, due to the lack of Spirit Stones and Cultivation Techniques, would major in martial arts to enhance their battle abilities during Qi Cultivation.


    However, in the later stages of Qi Cultivation, as spiritual power increases, martial arts would gradually be abandoned by the cultivators, who then start focusing on spells and Magic Artifacts as standard means of dueling. After seven consecutive days, Chen Mobai found that there were quite a few people who practiced martial arts.


    Among the Rank-6 Qi Cultivation duels, those who practiced martial arts had an 80% chance of winning. Even two of them managed to defeat Rank-7 cultivators, gaining great popularity.


    However, compared to Chen Mobai, who cleanly defeated Qiao Xingwen with a simple Water Controlling Technique, these two could only be described as barely winning.


    One of them, although victorious, was seriously injured and had to give up entering the next round.


    Time quickly arrived for the second round.


    Chen Mobai was still the first match, but compared to the first round when only Cao Yaling was watching, the remaining students from Middle School Five who had qualified for the second round, except for a few who also had to compete at the same time, all came to watch.


    ¡°Go for it.¡±


    Class President Mo Simin shouted loudly to Chen Mobai.


    Although the other students didn¡¯t shout like her, they all raised their hands. ¡°What a pity that so many of your friends have to witness your downfall.¡± Chen Mobai¡¯s opponent, Shen Jian, had been waiting on the arena stage for a long time and strangely provoked Chen Mobai again when he saw him.


    ¡°Referee, can we start now?¡±


    in response, Chen Mobai only turned his head to ask the referee teacher this question.


    If he dealt with this opponent for just a moment, it would be a waste of his own time.


    ¡°Damn it, I will definitely reveal your true face to Qing Nu.¡± just as the referee nodded, blew the whistle and left the arena, Shen Jian shouted angrily, then immediately threw two talismans at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Qing Nu?¡±


    Chen Mobai finally remembered this opponent. It seemed he was also present at the farewell dinner last time.


    Based on his words, was he actually in the same class as Qing Nu?


    ¡°What nonsense.¡±


    Chen Mobai casually used a Wooden Shield charm, but his opponent¡¯s was a Fireball Talisman, which only lasted for a second.


    [Oh, wasn¡¯t he using Rock Spikes Talisman yesterday? Did he change his talisman combination this round because he knew I used a Wooden Shield charm, deliberately aiming at the few talismans I exposed?]


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s fighting consciousness kicked in.


    After the Wooden Shield charm shattered, the Water Sword Talisman flew out. Within an instant, a stream of clear water became a crystal water sword, which split two fireballs and landed in front of his opponent.


    However, a golden light shone on his opponent¡¯s body, blocking this Water Sword Talisman.


    Chen Mobai also had this talisman, the Rank-1 intermediate-grade Golden Light Talisman.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already figured out your tactics.¡±


    Wrapped in the golden light shielding all water outside his body, Shen Jian slapped two talismans on his legs. His speed suddenly increased threefold.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    Chen Mobai was startled as Shen Jian¡¯s fists came before his forehead.


    Bang! Bang!


    Just as Mo Simin and the others under the stage could not help but close their eyes, not wanting to see Chen Mobai being defeated, the sound of water hitting a boulder rang out.


    ¡°What a superb Water Controlling Technique.¡±


    Song Zheng could not help praising.


    Mo Simin, Shi Jingjing, and others who originally had their eyes closed looked up and saw a layer of clear water waves, like a barrier, appearing in front of Chen Mobai¡¯s face, swirling and completely dissipating Shen Jian¡¯s fist strength.


    Water Elemental Shield!

    ¡°Quite imaginative, but you¡¯re too weak compared to me.


    Seeing Shen Jian in front of him, his fists entangled by his dark water and unable to free himself, Chen Mobai said these words lightly after he clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it heavily onto his opponent¡¯s chin. He thought this punch could knock his opponent out, but the sturdy body of a martial artist gave a strong rebound, causing his hand to hurt a little.


    ¡°Tsk, a tough nut to crack indeed.¡±


    Shen Jian roared angrily, throwing off the shackles of the dark water. Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, feeling that this person was not worthy of his Cold ice Technique, so he slapped a Coiling Talisman on him to bind him again. The dark water that had been shaken off by his opponent wrapped around his fist like a spirit snake, forming a large transparent water fist that smashed onto his chin again.


    Two blood-stained front teeth were directly knocked out..

 Chapter 109 - Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Third Round_l

    Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Third Round_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Just stretching my muscles a bit.¡±


    After knocking his opponent unconscious, Chen Mobai rotated his right hand in a circle. He hadn¡¯t hit anyone this hard in a long time and found it somewhat unfamiliar.


    ¡°Referee!¡±


    He sat down and pushed the opponent who had fallen on the ring. After confirming that he was unconscious, Chen Mobai called out to the referee who had just stepped off the ring less than a minute ago.


    ¡°The winner is, Chen Mobai.¡±


    The referee was also very straightforward, directly declaring the winner.


    Amidst the surrounding hustle and bustle, Chen Mobai stepped down from the ring.


    Students from the Fifth High School immediately came forward. Seeing Chen Mobai live was completely different from watching the video. He had remarkably managed to defeat his opponent in a minute, leaving many astonished.


    Shi Jingjing had already uploaded the fight video she recorded. At the same time, she secretly bet on the odds website that Chen Mobai would advance to the fourth round.


    ¡°How are you so powerful?¡±


    Song Zheng couldn¡¯t help but ask. He knew Chen Mobai might be a bit stronger in terms of Spell Cultivation, but he had no idea that Chen Mobai could be so powerful.


    He also knew the Water Controlling Technique and the Flowing Water Cover, similar to the Water Elemental Shield.


    But he admitted that whether it was the timing of the application or the combination with the talisman, it fell short of Chen Mobai¡¯s proficiency. The latter has formed a complete system combining Spell and talisman. It is not simply one plus one equals two, but the power has increased exponentially.


    ¡°I suppose it all comes down to practice makes perfect.¡±


    After thinking for a while, Chen Mobai felt that he had sublimated in the fight with the demonic beasts on Green Light Island.


    Although there were many opponents in this Magic Duel whose realm was higher than his ¨C such as the four Qi Cultivation ninths, let alone Xu Yuan, Shi Jingjing, and others who were Qi Cultivation eighths.


    Yet, whoever it was, Chen Mobai faced them with a nameless confidence.


    Such a child¡¯s play-like Magic Duel was too simple for him, a real warrior who has been honed on the edge of life and death. It was like an attack from a dimension reduction.


    So no matter who the opponent was, Chen Mobai always had an unhurried and confident demeanor.


    ¡°It¡¯s my turn.¡±


    At this time, Cao Yaling spoke up. She was also in the second round in this field.


    As a Qi Cultivation eighth, she was considered one of the seeded players who were exempted from the initial rounds, but the fight was a shock to everyone because she won with great difficulty.


    Her opponent was also a martial artist. Coupled with Cao Yaling¡¯s poor Magic Duel-based fighting, she was suppressed initially.


    But in the end, she relied on her Spirit Eye to see through the opponent¡¯s flaws, using more Spiritual Power to exhaust her opponent until he was defeated.


    ¡°Chen Mobai, you must make it into the fourth round.


    At lunch, Shi Jingjing suddenly said this in a mysterious tone.


    ¡°Hmm? You didn¡¯t bet on me, did you?¡±


    Inferring her intentions through her words, Chen Mobai glanced at her while eating.


    ¡°Just a little.¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you can¡¯t bet?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t bet on myself, and I bet on you winning.


    Chen Mobai thought of his Good Deed Points balance, which was a little over three thousand points, and an idea flashed in his mind.


    At dusk.


    He called Qing Nu.


    ¡°Are you sure you want to place such a bet?


    ¡°Consider it as putting some pressure on myself.¡±


    ¡°Alright then, after all, such a small amount of Good Deed Points can¡¯t even cover the cost of the materials for one bottle of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.¡± Qing Nu looked at the link Chen Mobai had sent her and the three thousand Good Deed Points he had transferred to her. Unaware that this was all he had, she obediently placed a bet on Chen Mobai¡¯s victory.


    ¡°A 1:100 odds, not bad.¡±


    ¡°How much? Wasn¡¯t it 1:150 when I watched at noon?¡±


    Chen Mobai was taken aback when he saw the screenshot sent to him by Qing


    Nu.


    He immediately asked the insider, Shi Jingjing, who told him that odds change constantly with the betting pool. It probably changed because after the footage of Chen Mobai¡¯s morning match was uploaded, some gamblers thought highly of him and wanted to place a bet on him winning the championship, which in turn caused his odds of winning to drop.


    In any case, the bookmaker never loses.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is, I thought the odds were static.¡±


    Chen Mobai finally understood after reading the long string of text explanations sent by Shi Jingjing.


    ¡°Don¡¯t bet on yourself. If you want to bet, you can transfer your Good Deed


    Points to me and I¡¯ll bet for you.¡±


    Shi Jingjing¡¯s words have changed, but Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t trust her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m just looking, not betting.¡±


    On the betting website.


    The favorites are still the four at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Among them, Yan Feng had the lowest odds at just 1:8 because of his superior family background. Most gamblers believe that he can pull out a powerful rune paper that can determine the outcome of the match.


    Kong Feichen came second, followed by Gong Xiangyu, and finally, it was the gloomy Yang Jing.


    The public sentiment was indeed quite aligned with Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts. It¡¯s truly said that the public¡¯s eyes are sharp.


    Beyond these four, the odds were all over 50. Basically, most people have defaulted that the final champion would be decided among these four.


    However, with more Magic Duels, there have indeed been some unexpected situations.


    For instance, during the first round, two sixth levels of Qi Cultivation defeated a seventh level, causing numerous gamblers to lose heavily.


    But in the second round, such an occurrence did not happen again. Even Qi Cultivators who were not as proficient in Magic Duels, such as Cao Yaling, relied on their much stronger Spiritual Power to seize victory in the most stable manner.


    All the sixth level Qi Cultivators were eliminated in this round.


    One of them was Mo Simin. However, after feeling upset for half a day, she peacefully accepted the outcome the next morning. She then went to watch Yan Bingxuan¡¯s second round match with Chen Mobai.


    The match was extremely thrilling.


    Her opponent was a seventh level Qi Cultiver from the 2nd high school. Yan Bingxuan had used up all of her rune papers and only finally defeated her opponent after relying on her strong Ice Spirit Power.


    But the luck didn¡¯t rub off on Shi Jingjing who was up next.


    She was matched against an eighth level Qi Cultivator from a private high school named Jade Heng. His name was Hong Gang, and he was surprisingly practicing a skill called Vajra Body. Even though Shi Jingjing saw through his defense, she still ended up losing despite using up all her rune papers, due to the combat capability difference.


    After coming off the stage, Shi Jingjing¡¯s eyes were red. But with the comfort of her friends like Cao Yaling, she gradually calmed down.


    Thanks to her sacrifice, Song Zheng, Xu Yuan, and Shi Yuanqing did not encounter terrifying opponents like Hong Gang on the third day, and all easily advanced to the next round.


    Of course, all the other students from the Fifth High School were eliminated in the second round.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai¡¯s information on the betting website has been updated in real-time to a seventh level Qi Cultivator. After two rounds of matches, even people with the poorest judgement could see his real Cultivation Level.


    The 70 students who entered the third round were all in the Later Stage of Qi Cultivation.

    The intensity of the Magic Duel suddenly became entirely different.


    Besides, at this point, it was impossible to avoid competing with students from the same school.


    Xu Yuan and Cao Yaling were matched against each other.


    Yan Bingxuan was even more unlucky, as she was matched against Yan Feng. Song Zheng was set against an opponent called Xue Luan, who was a student soldier who went through military training with Xu Yuan and others. He was the strongest among them and was given the title ¡®Student Soldier King. Shi Yuanqing was set against a figure named Wu Xue, who was an eight level Qi Cultivator from the First High School, and second only to Gong Xiangyu in talent.


    On the other hand, Chen Mobai was very lucky. He was matched against an ordinary seventh level Qi Cultivator..

    The third round of the Magic Duel.


    It is finally not Chen Mobai¡¯s turn to compete first.


    However, his mood is heavier than when he himself has to fight.


    That¡¯S because on the stage, Xu Yuan and Cao Yaling, who are both his classmates, are fighting. Torn between two sides you care for, regardless of who gets eliminated, it would be a loss for the Fifth High School.


    ¡°Please.¡±


    After the referee¡¯s announcement to start, Cao Yaling gave a polite bow to Xu Yuan with both hands, and he also returned the courtesy. Then, both of them did not use talismans, and began to duel using only spells.


    Xu Yuan cultivates a cultivation technique of dual attributes of earth and fire. Although he hasn¡¯t practiced any powerful spells, he can already convert earth into rock, and rock into earth, and continuously transform between the two states. He can attack and defend at the same time, which is very suitable for a Magic Duel.


    Cao Yaling has never disclosed her cultivation technique, but it must be very powerful as well. Chen Mobai can sense her Spirit Eye, which is a useful auxiliary spell in a Magic Duel.


    In this round of fight, both sides agreed tacitly not to use talismans.


    With one stomp of Xu Yuan¡¯s foot, the rock-made stage began to loosen and turned into mud, which coalesced into a black long sword in his palm.


    However, Cao Yaling waved a finger in the blink of an eye when the sword took shape, and a strong gust of wind shot towards Xu Yuan¡¯s earth sword, causing it to warp and disintegrate.


    But when the dirt dispersed, it quickly coalesced again under the infusion of Xu Yuan¡¯s spiritual power.


    The spiritual light flickered in Cao Yaling¡¯s eyes, she had already seen the follow-up changes, and knew that if she didn¡¯t break Xu Yuan¡¯s rock sword at the beginning, what awaited her would be her own defeat.


    Therefore, unlike the last round, she didn¡¯t choose to exhaust her opponent with her powerful spiritual power. Instead, she burst out all her spiritual power in an instant, and her slender, fair-skinned hands crossed to form a triangle pointing at Xu Yuan.


    Golden Light Cannon!


    The splendid golden glow erupted between Cao Yaling¡¯s fingers, enveloping Xu Yuan s entire body like a divine light from heaven.


    Bang!


    After a loud noise, dust filled the sky.


    Cao Yaling gasped violently, sweat sweating from her forehead. This move was her trump card that she had practiced for this Magic Duel. She thought she could at least save it for the next round.


    ¡°Did she win?¡±


    Shi Jingjing looked nervously at her.


    ¡°Seems so.¡±


    Chen Mobai frowned. He couldn¡¯t see the situation in the dust, but just before Cao Yaling¡¯s magic spell was launched, he saw Xu Yuan disperse his earth sword. The rock armor he formed only covered half of his body.


    Cao Yaling had exhausted all her spiritual power with this move. Even for him, he would have to use his talismans, Water Elemental Shield and even the Cold¡¯ Ice Technique to be able to block it unharmed in a head-on confrontation.


    It seemed that Xu Yuan had some reservations, wanting to win impressively but not wanting Cao Yaling to lose too horribly. His hesitation during the casting of the spell made him lose to Cao Yaling, who unexpectedly launched a full-force attack with the ¡°Golden Light Cannon¡± as soon as the duel started.


    Sure enough, when the dust settled, Xu Yuan was coughing violently, covered in dust, kneeling on one knee, a thin stream of blood trickled from his mouth and nose, looking utterly defeated.


    ¡°How can you hesitate in a Magic Duel?¡±


    Chen Mobai watched this scene and sighed.


    Originally, in the Fifth High School, apart from himself, only Xu Yuan had the potential to advance to the next round. As he was against Cao Yaling who was not good at Magic Duels, everyone thought he was guaranteed to win.


    However, in the face of an almost certain victory, he made a very youthful mistake.


    He hesitated, and then he was defeated.


    Xu Yuan, feeling the numbness in his right leg and the chaos in his body meridians, couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly, surrendering by raising his hand.


    ¡°I concede.¡±


    After a bow, Cao Yaling immediately ran over to help him up.


    ¡°It¡¯s not enough cultivation on my part. Yuanqing, you mustn¡¯t make the same mistake as I did.¡±


    In the face of his schoolmates who rushed onto the stage, Xu Yuan said this to his best friend Shi Yuanqing then passed out reassuredly.


    Chen Mobai clearly saw Shi Yuanqing¡¯s hands clenching tightly, nodding his head resolutely.


    The next round would be his turn, and his opponent is also a female.


    It¡¯s this stage again.


    ¡°How is Yan Bingxuan doing?¡±


    Taking advantage of the break after Xu Yuan and Cao Yaling¡¯s magic duel, Chen Mobai immediately called Mo Simin. Although she had already been eliminated, she stayed at the Cinnabarite Institute, saying she would cheer them on.


    Due to conflicting schedules, Chen Mobai asked her to stay with Yan Bingxuan while he watched this match and Mo Simin watched another.


    ¡°It¡¯s over, Yan Feng is too strong.¡±


    Mo Simin¡¯s tone was very heavy, Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback, he thought that the duel between Xu Yuan and Cao Yaling that ended so quickly was fast enough, he did not expect the match between Yan Bingxuan and Yan Feng to be so quick as well.


    ¡°Did you record the video of the fight?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to end so quickly, I didn¡¯t get a chance to, but Yan Bingxuan only managed to withstand half a move.¡±


    ¡°Right, comfort her for me, tell her I¡¯ll avenge her.¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t you comfort her yourself¡­¡±


    Before Mo Simin could finish, she heard the busy tone, Chen Mobai had hung up the phone, which left her angrily slapping the stone bench beneath her.


    Next to her, Yan Bingxuan leaned on her shoulder, pale and weak


    ¡°My name is Wu Xue, pleasure to meet you.¡±


    The reason why Chen Mobai hung up the phone was because Shi Yuanqing¡¯s opponent had entered the stage.


    The girl named Wu Xue had a graceful figure, beautiful face, and a bewitching charm hidden within her smile.


    ¡°Shi Yuanqing.¡±


    After exchanging names, the referee announced the start of the magic duel.


    With a ¡°bang¡±.


    Shi Yuanqing¡¯s hands pressed on the rocky surface of the stage, instantly shattering the rock into large granules. He then seemingly pulled out two stone whips from the earth, violently whipping them towards Wu Xue.


    ¡°Truly doesn¡¯t know how to cherish a woman.¡±


    Wu Xue¡¯s eyebrows knotted, apparently oblivious to the fate of the last person who tried to cherish a woman on this stage.


    She shook her hands, revealing two Godspeed Talismans which she placed on her long legs.


    Chen Mobai had seen Shen Jian use this talisman before, its speed surprised even him.


    It seemed that for those from The First High School who participated in the magic duel, the Godspeed Talisman was standard equipment.


    With that thought, Wu Xue¡¯s graceful figure danced as if evading lashings from the stone whips and, amazingly, made a swift twist and rushed towards Shi Yuanqing. Her long fingers turned into claws, fiercely aiming for her opponent¡¯s forehead.


    A golden light emerged, blocking the attack.


    Golden Light Talisman, a very practical talisman.


    Chen Mobai nodded silently, and at that moment, Shi Yuanqing spat out a flame. But Wu Xue was able to sidestep the flames at close range thanks to the speed of the Godspeed Talisman.


    ¡°How long does this Godspeed Talisman last?¡±


    Chen Mobai identified the problem and asked Shi Jingjing standing next to him.


    ¡°Selling of Godspeed Talismans that last more than ten minutes is officially approved by our school.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°So you mean, there¡¯s no upper limit to the duration of the Godspeed Talisman?¡±


    If this was the case, isn¡¯t this talisman the most powerful talisman in this duel!


    Well, not exactly, if it lasts more than ten minutes but less than thirty minutes, it¡¯s considered a lower-grade Rank-i talisman; if it lasts more than thirty minutes, it¡¯s considered an intermediate-grade Rank-t talisman; if it lasts more than an hour, it¡¯s considered an upper-grade Rank-1 talisman.¡±


    Even so, this talisman is a bit too powerful.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself, pondering various tactics to counter this Godspeed Talisman in his mind..

    Chapter 111: Chapter ill Green Jade Talisman_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Just as Chen Mobai was contemplating how to break this Godspeed Talisman, Shi Yuanqing on the stage was displaying his true strength.


    While Wu Xue was moving at high speed, she suddenly found her right foot confined.


    Looking down, she saw a thread of dust, like a chain, seeping out from the cracks of the rock-composed stage and hooking onto her ankle.


    ¡°Got you.¡±


    Shi Yuanqing said coldly, then spread his right hand¡¯s five fingers. The rocks under his feet lifted, and with a wave of his palm, they flooded Wu Xue like a rain of flowers.


    Hum!


    However, Wu Xue, being the sole genius second to Gong Xiangyu in the first high school, made it to this round by defeating many opponents, was no pushover.


    She clasped her hands, activated a talisman, and a pool of clear water wrapped around her forming a powerful defense.


    ¡°Water Dragon Talisman!¡±


    Seeing this talisman, Chen Mobai was taken aback.


    This was one of his favorite talismans, part of the same set as the Water Sword Talisman, but it was a Rank-1 superior product and close to Rank-2 in power. It¡¯s a formidable talisman with both offensive and defensive capabilities.


    ¡°Is it another quick decisive strike?¡±


    Shi Jingjing murmured, regretting her hesitation. During the second round, she unconsciously engaged in a protracted battle with Hong Gang and ended up losing to his powerful vitality and his Vajra Body technique.


    Cao Yaling learned from her mistake, knowing that if it came to a drawn-out fight, females definitely couldn¡¯t outlast males, so she adopted a quick and decisive strategy.


    Wu Xue, who had witnessed the entire fight from below the stage, adopted Cao Yaling¡¯s strategy as her own.


    ¡°Everyone¡¯s improving, is this the point of the Magic Duel?


    Chen Mobai noticed that compared to the first round, many students who were initially flustered on stage, now had a basic sense of strategy.


    If Qiao Xingwen was allowed to have a few more matches before encountering him, it would probably take him five minutes to defeat him.


    On the stage, backed by the powerful spiritual powers of the Water Dragon Talisman, Wu Xue soared like a dragon goddess, wrapped in spiraling water streams that formed a half-transparent dragon-shaped water shadow.


    But, learning from Xu Yuan¡¯s lesson, Shi Yuanqing also activated his own talisman at the same time.


    He held a beautiful talisman, which was as clear and transparent as jade and had a faint floral pattern, with two fingers of his right hand and attached it to his forehead.


    Broken pieces of jade porcelain tiles spread from the talisman to cover Shi Yuanqing¡¯s body, transforming into a Porcelain Armor with no blind spots in no time.


    ¡°Green Jade Talisman!¡±


    Shi Jingjing, Shi Yuanqing¡¯s cousin, couldn¡¯t help showing envy when she saw this talisman.


    A dragon roar echoed, accompanied by a wave of water sweeping everything in its path.


    Exuding all of her spiritual power, Wu Xue pushed the power of her talisman to its apex. Her skin turned red as she rammed into Shi Yuanqing, who was entirely covered in his Jade Porcelain Armor.


    Boom!


    The center of the stage began to twist slightly where the two talismans collided, and there was even a faint thunderous rumble.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t bear the intense spiritual light, forcing him to squint.


    However, Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling on the side used their Spirit Eye to keept their gaze fixed on the outcome of the talismen clash.


    ¡°We won!¡±


    Shi Jingjing cheered as the spiritual light at the center of the stage gradually faded. Chen Mobai saw Wu Xue slump beside Shi Yuanqing¡¯s feet. The latter crouched down and swung his right hand, striking heavily on Wu Xue¡¯s pale neck.


    With wide eyes, Wu Xue who thought Shi Yuanqing might show mercy because she was a woman, passed out in disbelief.


    ¡°Referee.¡±


    Having finished his task, Shi Yuanqing coldly called out to the referee outside


    the arena.


    ¡°This guy, he seems to have gone a bit extreme.


    Chen Mobai saw Shi Yuanqing¡¯s actions. From a Magic Duel¡¯s point of view, there was nothing wrong, but he still felt something was off.


    ¡°He¡¯s been shy since he was little, and only Xu Yuan could make him lower his guard.¡±


    Shi Jingjing began to babble. Shi Yuanqing was the one with the best Spiritual Root Talent among their generation in their family, but he was timid and looked like a child, almost developed autism due to the excessive expectations from his family.


    The Xu family and the Shi family were neighbors. Every time the two families communicate, Xu Yuan would play with Shi Yuanqing. Over the decades, their bond had grown closer than actual brothers.


    ¡°Yuanqing was the first in our school to reach the Qi Cultivation eighth layer. If he didn¡¯t have to worry about Xu Yuan¡¯s feelings and suppress his own progress, he might have reached the Qi Cultivation ninth layer.¡± Shi Jingjing knew best about Shi Yuanqing¡¯s talent. His Earth and Fire Dual Spiritual Root Talent were extremely high, and he was no less than Gong Xiangyu. His cultivation of Green Jade Jue perfectly fit him.


    After hearing this explanation, Chen Mobai, looking at Shi Yuanqing who silently walked down from the arena, had an idea.


    ¡°Xu Yuan has been eliminated, the responsibility he can¡¯t carry would be shouldered by you.¡±


    ?


    Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling on the side were completely bemused, having no clue what Chen Mobai was talking about.


    However, the usually indifferent Shi Yuanqing showed a flash of determination in his eyes upon hearing these words. He then pounded on his chest and vigorously nodded.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take it.¡±


    Are these two crazy!?


    Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling realized they couldn¡¯t keep up with the thought processes of these two.


    If Mo Simin were here, she would resonate strongly with them.


    ¡°Next up is Song Zheng, but I won¡¯t have time to watch.¡±


    Chen Mobai glanced at the time. His match would start in an hour. Moreover, the arena wasn¡¯t here; he needed to go to another peak.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, they¡¯re all basically eliminated anyway, we won¡¯t watch either.¡± Shi Jingjing¡¯s words made Chen Mobai sigh, wondering how Song Zheng had such poor popularity.


    ¡°Old Song still has some skills and he has mastered quite a few strong spells. Maybe he¡¯ll create an upset.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt that his match was almost guaranteed, resolving within one minute.


    His classmates coming with him wouldn¡¯t have much to watch.


    They should go cheer for Song Zheng instead. Perhaps just this little outside help might spark something in him.


    ¡°Xue Luan¡¯s strength is comparable to mine. Song Zheng¡¯s chance of winning is less than io%.¡±


    Shi Yuanqing spoke.

    After the college entrance examination, in order to hone their Magic Duel skills, he and Xu Yuan had been sent to the army by their parents through connections. Among the fifty people of the same batch, the most formidable were him and Xue Luan.


    Shi Yuanqing had suppressed his own strength slightly so as not to overshadow Xu Yuan, but Xue Luan had seen through it.


    During a practice duel, Xue Luan deliberately injured Xu Yuan, infuriating Shi Yuanqing.


    That night on the drill ground, Shi Yuanqing found Xue Luan, who had been waiting for him, and the two had a fierce duel.


    Although Shi Yuanqing was stronger than Xu Yuan, he still lost due to having suppressed himself for a long time..

 Chapter 112 - Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Final Round_i

    Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Final Round_i


    Translator: 549690339


    Before Chen Mobai¡¯s meteoric rise, Shi Yuanqing was indisputably the top student at the Fairy Gate¡¯s Fifth High School.


    Song Zheng was a prodigy too, but only at the Qi Cultivation level 7, ranking below both Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling, and was no match for Shi Yuanqing. Now, his opponent is Xue Luan, who had defeated a fully-committed Shi Yuanqing.


    As they were talking, they had already reached the arena where Chen Mobai would duel.


    Trading blows with him was Kan An, a Qi Cultivation level 7 student from the same academy.


    And his observation of Kan An was accurate.


    Just another ordinary opponent.


    It took him less than two minutes to end the fight.


    As he left the stage amidst the cheering, Chen Mobai checked on Song Zheng¡¯s duel, which was still underway.


    The result, however, came in a dozen minutes later.


    As Shi Yuanqing had predicted, Song Zheng lost.


    At this point, there were only three students left from the Fairy Gate¡¯s Fifth High School.


    In the fourth round, Chen Mobai was still lucky, faced with another ordinary Qi Cultivation level 7 fighter ¨C slightly stronger than Kan An but lasting only three minutes.


    However, for the first time in this round of duels, Chen Mobai used a rank-1 high-tier talisman.


    The Soldier-transformation Talisman.


    He was quietly laying a small subplot for the tactics of the last two rounds.


    Shi Yuanqing, on the other hand, faced a strong enemy ¨C a Qi Cultivation level 8 master of palm techniques. But by unleashing his latent capacities, he demonstrated awe-inspiring combat abilities and defeated the opponent to advance to the next round.


    But Cao Yaling didn¡¯t possess such strength. She encountered a woman named Ji Jing, and despite changing her tactics to rely on her Spirit Eye to seek the opponent¡¯s weak points during this battle of attrition, she lacked both focus and willpower. In the end, she was the first to exhaust all her Spiritual Power and had to concede defeat.


    In the fifth round, Chen Mobai finally encountered an interesting opponent named Jia Mo, a Qi Cultivation level 8 student from the Second High School.


    He attended the same school as the Different Spiritual Root bearers Kong Feichen and Yang Jing.


    However, when Jia Mo entered the field, he seemed intimidated.


    ¡°I know I¡¯m not your match, but I will do my best.¡±


    Once the referee was offstage, an earnest Jia Mo spoke to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Have you ever sparred with Kong Feichen?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, causing Jia Mo to hesitate, but before he could respond, Chen Mobai asked another question.


    ¡°How long can you last against him?¡±


    If he goes all out, I guess I would only hold out for three moves.¡±


    After hearing Jia Mo¡¯s response, Chen Mobai nodded in understanding.


    Three moves imply that, without using any talismans, he could defeat you with three spells.¡±


    These mumblings stirred Jia Mo¡¯s curiosity; he felt overlooked by Chen Mobai who was standing in the ring, but seemed to be in a discussion elsewhere.


    How conceited!


    Fuming with indignation, Jia Mo deployed two intermediate grade rank-1 talismans.


    Coincidentally.


    Chen Mobai also possessed these ¨C the Wind Blade Talisman and the Wind Binding Talisman. When used in conjunction, their power increased by thirty percent.


    With the activation of the talismans, bluish wind blades began to gleam in the sky.


    Then, whirlwinds rose, enhancing the power of the wind blades.


    As Jia Mo¡¯s Divine Sense moved, a wind blade hurtled towards Chen Mobai. A wooden shield materialized out of thin air, effortlessly blocking the first wind blade, but what followed was a continuous and intricate web of eight wind blades covering every possible escape direction for Chen Mobai.


    As the Wind Blades rapidly emerged, they also stirred a flurry of cyan whirlwinds, abruptly halting the airflow within a three-meter radius around Chen Mobai. It made his movements involuntary and slow, and his limbs stiff.


    This was the combined effect of using the Wind Blade Talisman and the Wind Binding Talisman together, they could promote each other¡¯s effects.


    Just by these two charms alone, Jia Mo used them more skillfully than Chen Mobai. Plus his talismans were clearly of better quality, vastly different from the cheap common ones that Chen Mobai would buy online.


    However, under the triple protection of the Wooden Shield charm, Golden Light Talisman, and the Water Elemental Shield, Jia Mo¡¯s Wind Blade Talisman still couldn¡¯t break Chen Mobai¡¯s defense.


    Next was the Wind Binding Talisman.


    Chen Mobai felt as if his limbs were weighed down by hundreds of pounds, and a charm slipped from his sleeve into his palm, triggered by the injection of Spiritual Power.


    At the same time, Jia Mo was already preparing his trump card, a Rank-1 superior grade Shocking Divine Talisman.


    Although Chen Mobai was confident in his Water Elemental Shield, it was better to avoid a head-on collision if he could help it.


    Thus, he also activated a Wind Blade Talisman.


    The whirlpools that were supposed to bind him became fuel at the instant the talisman was triggered, instantly swept away by the Wind Blade.


    Before Jia Mo¡¯s incredulous gaze, twelve Wind Blades, more extreme than the ones he had unleashed, tore through the air towards him.


    He slapped his last two Defensive Talismans, a golden light, and a wind wall appeared in front of him, blocking the twelve Wind Blades manipulated by Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense.


    ¡°The Shocking Divine Talisman is ready.¡±


    Just as Jia Mo blocked the Wind Blade Talisman and prepared to unleash his own trump card, he suddenly felt his hands and feet bound.


    A simple Coiling Talisman, but he couldn¡¯t trigger his talisman anymore.


    Chen Mobai came to his front and knocked him out with a single karate chop.


    ¡°The winner is Chen Mobai.¡±


    Another neat and clean victory.


    Unlike Shi Yuanqing and others who had to exhaust all their spiritual power, Chen Mobai¡¯s fights were always unexpectedly efficient, countering opponents¡¯ attacks with the most suitable tactics, precise as a scalpel.


    After the end of the fifth round of Magic Duels, this month-long competition was finally nearing its conclusion.


    Only nine people remained.


    Besides Gong Xiangyu, Kong Feichen, Yang Jing, and Yan Feng, the four Qi Cultivators at the ninth level, there were Xue Luan, Hong Gang, Shi Yuanqing, Ji Jing, the four Qi Cultivators at the eighth level.


    And finally, there was Chen Mobai, the rather noticeable Qi Cultivator at the seventh level.


    Next, they had to draw lots again.


    Also, as the number of participants was nine, some changes were made to the rules of the tournament.


    The Red-robed Daoist and the representative of the Daoist Academy will appear in this final lottery ceremony, or rather, only the students who can make it this far can earn their personal attention.


    Dusk.


    Jia Mo, who had just lost during the day, opened the door to his Cave Dwelling while Kong Feichen and Yang Jing came in.


    ¡°What was it like to face him head-on?¡±


    Kong Feichen asked first. After pondering for a while, Jia Mo shook his head.


    ¡ö¡öAlthough I lost quickly and felt I didn¡¯t fully display my abilities, after giving it careful thought, I suspect that even if we fought ten more rounds, I probably wouldn¡¯t be his match.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is he really that powerful? Even the Wind Binding Talisman and Wind Blade Talisman that I refined, along with her Shocking Divine Talisman, didn¡¯t manage to push him to reveal his true strength.¡±

    Kong Feichen originally thought only Yan Feng and Gong Xiangyu were the strongest opponents in this magic duel. He never expected Chen Mobai to appear out of nowhere.


    The Shocking Divine Talisman didn¡¯t trigger, so he probably still has a weakness regarding his Divine Sense. You can tailor your strategy according to


    Jia Mo returned the unused Shocking Divine Talisman to Yang Jing and gave his assessment.


    ¡°I see, thanks.¡±


    After getting the answer he needed, Kong Feichen excused himself with Yang Jing and left..

 Chapter 113 - Chapter 113: Chapter 113 Ambitious Goals l

    Chapter 113: Chapter 113 Ambitious Goals l


    Translator: 549690339


    On the day of the draw, Chen Mobai and the other eight arrived at the final peak arena early.


    After waiting a while, a red cloud appeared on the horizon, like a second sun had risen.


    An overwhelmingly powerful presence that Chen Mobai had never felt before swept over the area like a tide. A dozen figures appeared in the sky, among them was a middle-aged man with red hair in a crimson robe. He laughed uproariously, leading a group of people descending from the sky.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡±


    After landing and taking a seat, the man in the crimson robe swung his sleeve and motioned for the presiding teacher to begin


    This was the first time Chen Mobai had seen a Gold Core True Person in flesh. His Realm was low, so he couldn¡¯t tell how powerful the principal of Cinnabarite Institute was. However, the several people beside him, each with their unique demeanor and symbols of the Daoist Academy on their clothing, attracted everyone¡¯s attention as soon as they appeared.


    Chen Mobai recognized two of them.


    Lan Haitian from Kunpeng Daoist Institute and Bian Yiqing from Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    The ordinary-looking woman should be Shang Qing from Jumang Dao Academy, whom Qing Nu had mentioned to him.


    So the last one, the man in the white suit, must be the representative of the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Following these four were the representatives of the top ten academies. Despite their low profile, they also attracted a lot of attention from the students.


    As those who were eliminated were now left without hope of entering the four great Daoist institutes, they had to start considering how to attract the attention of these ten representatives.


    At this point, the teacher responsible for the draw brought out a square box and walked up to the nine of them.


    ¡°There are nine balls in this box, each one of you has your name on one of them. The principal will draw the nine balls one by one, and the order will represent the numbers one to nine. Among them, the last one, which is number nine, will be the luckiest as they will get a bye into the next round while the rest will fight in pairs.¡±


    After the explanation, the teacher placed the box on a table in the middle of the arena.


    Chen Mobai and the others never expected that they themselves wouldn¡¯t be the ones to draw. However, no one complained about the unfairness since luck is, after all, the greatest fortune on the way of cultivation.


    ¡°I assume you have no objections to me drawing the lots.¡±


    The man in the crimson robe walked up to the box, laughing as he asked the nine people assembled before him.


    Who dared to object? All shook their heads.


    The Gold Core True Person¡¯s credibility was such that he commanded the trust of everyone¡ªmore than all the cultivators in Red Sandstone City combined.


    ¡°Then let me get started.¡±


    The man in the crimson robe had a relaxed demeanor. He inserted his right hand into the box and drew out the first black sphere. He crushed the sphere, revealing a card with a name written on it.


    ¡°Ji Jing!¡±


    She was up first.


    Chen Mobai and the others cast their gaze at the calm and upright woman standing on the stage.


    She was a genius who had suddenly risen in this Magic Duel. It was said that she had originally been at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, but she had burst out with the peak strength of the eighth level during the duel, defeating many opponents along the way, with much impressive strength.


    Chen Mobai had a deep impression of her, because like him, she cultivated the Five Elements method.


    ¡°Second, Yang Jing.¡±


    ¡°Third, Xue Luan.¡±


    ¡°Fourth, Gong Xiangyu.¡±


    Soon, the man in the crimson robe drew out the names of the first four people. The refereeing teacher used the Object Capturing Technique to make a huge board float mid-air. Then, with a flick of the brush, he wrote down the names on the left-hand side of the board.


    ¡°Next, we will draw the opponents for these four.¡±


    The man in the crimson robe grinned, without hesitation, he reached into the box and drew the fifth black ball, crushing it at once.


    A name was revealed for everyone to see.


    ¡°Kong Feichen.¡±


    The referee immediately wrote this name to the right of Ji Jing on the board, marking the first pair of competitors.


    Chen Mobai observed Ji Jing¡¯s expression. She remained calm, no emotional turbulence visible even when faced with such a powerful and renowned opponent.


    ¡°Hong Gang.¡±


    ¡°Shi Yuanqing.¡±


    The man in the crimson robe drew another two names in a breath. Amid the fleeting gazes of the crowd, two more pairs of competitors appeared on the giant board.


    Only two remained.


    Chen Mobai and Yan Feng.


    Among them, the eighth one drawn would face Gong Xiangyu.


    And the lucky last one would advance directly, with the advantage of observing the duel between the powerful opponents, and their exposed hands after the fight.


    Finally, the hand of the man in the crimson robe paused, looking at Chen Mobai and Yan Feng with a playful gaze.


    However, in the end, he still laughed and drew the eighth ball.


    ¡°Chen Mobai!¡±


    Swoosh!


    It was unknown when, probably when he heard his own name, Chen Mobai felt that his heartbeat had reached an unprecedented high. Even though he believed he should remain calm and confident regardless of the opponent, at that moment, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a surge of emotions.


    In the end, he was still caught in Gold Core True Person¡¯s control.


    However, all of it returned to calm when his name appeared on the dueling board.


    Ji Jing vs Kong Feichen.


    Yang Jing vs Hong Gang.


    Xue Luan vs Shi Yuanqing.


    Gong Xiangyu vs Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    A voice of regret sounded in his ear. Chen Mobai turned to see Yan Feng, who seemed to be sighing at the fact that he couldn¡¯t encounter a strong opponent in this round.


    ¡°Alright, all four fights must be completed today. We seniors have been waiting for this round, so don¡¯t let us down.¡±


    As he spoke, the man in the crimson robe pulled out the last sphere. Upon crushing it, Yan Feng¡¯s name was inside, indicating no trickery.


    However, given the public trust in the Gold Core True Person, even if he hadn¡¯t made such a gesture, everyone would have believed him. Because for a figure like him, if he really wanted to benefit Yan Feng, there were far better ways to do it.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to step down and prepare to observe the following exciting duels, the man in the crimson robe stopped him.


    ¡°The order of the fights is exactly the opposite to the lot drawing. You are up first.¡±


    Gong Xiangyu was also taken aback for a moment, but soon his face lit up with excitement, and with a chilly laugh, he walked to the center of the arena.


    ¡°Before we begin, I have a question for both of you.¡±


    The man in the crimson robe had not yet stepped down; Chen Mobai also came over, and together with Gong Xiangyu, turned to face this powerful figure and paid their respects.


    ¡°Please ask, Sir.¡±


    ¡°If you win the Magic Duel and can choose to go to one of the four Daoist Institutes, which one would you choose?¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated at this question; he didn¡¯t have much hope of joining one of the four Daoist Institutes considering his grades and scores.

    ¡°Kunpeng Daoist Institute!¡±


    On the other hand, Gong Xiangyu, hearing the question, didn¡¯t hesitate at all and called out the name of the most reputable among the four Daoist Institutes.


    ¡°Oh, can I ask for your reason?¡±


    Gong Xiangyu nodded, then with a resolute gaze, he looked at Lan Haitian and declared his grand ambition.


    ¡°Riding the Righteousness of Heaven and Earth, Commanding the Variations of the Six Qi, Wandering in Infinity, Carefree and at Ease. My lifelong dream is to cultivate the ¡®Six Qi Sutra¡¯ and Ascend to become an Immortal..¡±

 Chapter 114 - Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Broken Taoist Heart_l

    Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Broken Taoist Heart_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Upon hearing Gong Xiangyu¡¯s words, the man in the red robe showed a slight change in his expression and seemed to nod approvingly.


    ¡°What about you?¡±


    He turned his head to ask Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Jumang Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡°Oh, judging from your tone, it seems like a reluctant choice. Why? Don¡¯t the four major Daoist Academies appeal to you?¡±


    The man in the red robe was a bit puzzled. He was quite interested in Chen Mobai, the only Qi Cultivation seventh level participant in this round.


    ¡°I have a friend who wants to study at the Jumang Daoist Academy. I¡¯m a bit worried about her going there alone.¡±


    After some hesitation, Chen Mobai finally chose a rather plain and simple reason.


    His statement caused a commotion among the hundreds of students below the stage.


    Gong Xiangyu, who initially appeared confident declaring his grand ambitions in front of the Gold Core true person, suddenly felt utterly defeated.


    Everyone knew that a Heavenly Spiritual Root was sent directly to the Jumang Daoist Academy in Red Sandstone City this year.


    ¡°Old Chen is so romantic.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng, who came specially to cheer on Chen Mobai, finally understood why Chen Mobai could win the favor of the Heavenly Spiritual Root. This kind of comprehension and realm, he could never obtain in his lifetime.


    Being able to declare his love for his girlfriend on such a grand stage, amidst questioning by the Gold Core true person, Chen Mobai was truly unprecedented since the inception of the Immortal Gate.


    But what they didn¡¯t know was that Chen Mobai had no such intention.


    He simply could not come up with a solid reason.


    To say it was for his parents¡¯ expectations or the hopes of his family members would be too bland, and compared to Gong Xiangyu¡¯s vigorous ambition to ascend to become an Immortal, that just seemed unconvincing.


    Chen Mobai thought of many reasons, yet none of them seemed able to outweigh Gong Xiangyu¡¯s grand ambition to ¡°Ascend to become Immortals¡±.


    Since he was doomed to be outperformed by Gong Xiangyu anyway, he just listened to his heart and chose the reason he had once promised to Qing Nu.


    However, he had no idea that this reason nearly shattered Gong Xiangyu¡¯s determination.


    Too heart-wrenching!


    This guy has a dangerously cunning mind, the magic duel hasn¡¯t even started yet, and he¡¯s already launching a psychological attack on me through his words.


    Gong Xiangyu reminded himself to stay calm. He slowly rotated the technique of cultivating his senses to recover the emotional upheaval he was undergoing.


    ¡°Uh, young man, do you know that each of Four Major Daoist Academies will accept only one person from each blessed land. If you want to go to the Jumang Daoist Academy, your friend might not be able to go there.¡±


    At this moment, the man in the red robe suddenly said this. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be stunned.


    He actually didn¡¯t know about this rule for admission into the Four Major Daoist Academies.


    On the outer edge of the arena, Shang Qing moved her lips slightly, intending to say that even if there was a conflict between the two, Jumang Daoist Academy would certainly choose Qing Nu over Chen Mobai. However, with the man in the red robe present, she decided to remain silent after some thought.


    ¡°Then it must be the Repairing Heaven Institute.¡±


    If he couldn¡¯t go to the Jumang Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai thought for a moment and then chose another one.


    ¡°Why?¡±


    Why do you have so many whys?


    If it weren¡¯t for the Gold Core True person standing before him, Chen Mobai really didn¡¯t want to answer.


    ¡°More than half of the hall masters in the three great halls of the Immortal Gate come from the Repairing Heaven Institute. I hope to rule the Immortal Gate in the future and have millions of cultivators follow my will. Going to the Repairing Heaven Institute would make this path the simplest.¡±


    Compared to Gong Xiangyu¡¯s ambition of ¡°Ascend to become Immortals¡±, Chen Mobai felt that his aspiration to be the ¡°Master of the Immortal Gate¡± was somewhat mundane.


    ¡°So it turns out, in his heart, the position of Qing Nu is higher than that of the Master of the Immortal Gate!¡±


    Down on the stage, Lu Hongsheng once again felt lower in his realm.


    Just look at Chen Mobai, who interpreted the words for any girl, knowing that her position in a man¡¯s heart is even higher than that of the Master of the Immortal Gate, she would probably pass out in excitement.


    Gong Xiangyu felt the determination he had painstakingly restored once again shatter. He felt that he could never win Qing Nu from Chen Mobai in this lifetime.


    This man¡¯s plot to break his heart was too insidious.


    ¡°Ha ha ha, what an interesting young man.¡±


    The man in the red robe finally stopped asking. He laughed heartily and flew up, leaving the stage to Chen Mobai and Gong Xiangyu.


    ¡°This person¡¯s score is too low, it won¡¯t benefit our academy to accept him.¡±


    The representative of the Repairing Heaven Institute in the white suit, after the man in the red robe returned, softly leaned in and whispered.


    ¡°I know, I won¡¯t interfere.¡±


    The words of the man in the red robe relieved the representative of the Repairing Heaven Institute. He was afraid that this Gold Core True person would cherish talent and want to keep Chen Mobai in the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    The Gold Core True People of the Immortal Gate had a very special privilege, which was to unconditionally admit a student to one of the Four Major Daoist Academies.


    This privilege could only be used once in a lifetime.


    As the man in the red robe was still young and had no offspring, he had not yet used this privilege.


    Lan Haitian and Shang Qing also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his words.


    If the man in the red robe insisted on protecting Chen Mobai, even the Heavenly Spiritual Root would not be able to secure a place in the Daoist Academy.


    Among them, the Kunpeng Daoist Academy, due to its reputation, has always been the first choice for these Gold Core True People. Shang Qing was afraid of losing a Heavenly Spiritual Root in her hands due to such dramatic events and eventually being snatched away by the other three major Daoist Academies.


    After the man in the red robe stated his position, the three of them all relaxed, and began to watch the magic duel with ease.


    The representatives from the Top Ten Academies, on the other hand, began whispering among themselves, speculating and considering which conditions to offer to snatch Chen Mobai after he gets eliminated.


    ¡°It begins.¡±


    Boom!


    Gong Xiangyu clenched his right fist, the air swirling around him. A faint phantom, bristling with scales, resembling a snake¡¯s body and a dragon¡¯s tail, moved with him and collided heavily with Chen Mobai.


    Bang!


    Chen Mobai launched his Wooden Shield charm, but the green shield had just emerged when it was shattered into splinters by the terrifying punch.


    Amidst the dust, threads of snake-like phantoms emerged. With a terrifying force capable of tearing and shredding everything, they made their way into Chen Mobai¡¯s neck.


    ¡°Spiritual Control Technique!¡±


    Seeing this scene, Lan Haitian exuded a burning gaze.


    The Kunpeng Daoist Academy, with its reputation as the best Daoist academy, owes this not only to the Six Royal Sutra but also to the fact that after their founder¡¯s death, he left behind a Transformation God level Giant Kun Spirit Pet to guard the academy.


    The Kunpeng Daoist Academy is also the top beast taming heritage of the Immortal Gate.


    Gong Xiangyu truly has a firm will to seek the Dao, as he has chosen to practice the most difficult, yet potentially the most rewarding Spiritual Control Technique related to beast taming.

    ¡°This spirit that is compatible with his divine sense should be at the Rank-2 level. If he can achieve Core Formation in the future, he might be able to transform into a dragon.¡±


    The man in the red robe commented, and Lan Haitian nodded slightly. He had some expectations for Chen Mobai, but after witnessing Gong Xiangyu¡¯s Spiritual Control Technique, he knew that this game was probably over.


    Swoosh!


    At this moment, strange sounds of water ripples echoed.


    Amid the dust, the figure of Chen Mobai emerged. A whirlpool, like a soft water shield, had somehow appeared around his neck, constantly rotating and dissipating, completely neutralizing the terrifying punch of Gong Xiangyu, which was many times stronger than a human¡¯s power..

 Chapter 115 - Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Tactics_l

    Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Tactics_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°That was terrifying. I nearly had my neck bitten off.¡±


    Chen Mobai stood up, touching his neck area. His initially calm eyes started to sharpener.


    Having fought through numerous games of Magic Duel like a child¡¯s play, he found it difficult to adjust again when facing a sudden life and death fight.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t kill you. The Snake Fangs will release toxins in your neck at the moment they pierce you, numbing you.¡±


    Although Gong Xiangyu disdained Chen Mobai, he maintained his sanity.


    A Magic Duel is just a Duel. If he genuinely killed his opponent by accident, his brilliant life would be tainted by an ignominious stain.


    ¡°Oh, in that case, I should thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai moved his neck a bit. His right hand reached out, a Spirit Talisman was already in his fingertips.


    Water Sword Talisman!


    Having watched all of Chen Mobai¡¯s previous five rounds of Magic Duels, Gong Xiangyu became intimately familiar with all the talismans Chen Mobai had used. He even devised a way to break each talisman.


    Upon seeing the talisman Chen Mobai held, he recognized it and adopted the tactic he remembered.


    Hiss hiss hiss!


    A strange sound resembling a spirit snake hissing rang across the dueling stage. The airflow around started to distort convolutedly, gradually forming a semi-transparent giant snake shadow surrounding Chen Mobai with Gong Xiangyu at the center.


    Humm!


    Just as the semi-transparent giant snake opened its transparent mouth to strike Chen Mobai, a rain of green Spirit Qi Long Arrows appeared in the void.


    Amidst the continuous thud sounds.


    Six arrow-shaped Spiritual Energies, like spears falling from the sky, accurately struck the semi-transparent giant snake¡¯s mouth, head, neck, heart, abdomen, tail that was charging at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This guy, what a trickster.¡±


    Gong Xiangyu glanced at the Water Sword Talisman held between Chen Mobai¡¯s right fingers. He immediately realized that talisman wasn¡¯t activated.


    His focus was drawn by the action, leading him to make a hasty and wrong decision.


    ¡°Now comes this talisman.¡±


    After activating the Green Arrow Talisman in his left hand behind his back, Chen Mobai channeled Spiritual Power to the Water Sword Talisman in his right hand. A reel of clear water was condensed to form a sword. With a swing of his fingers, he sent the snake¡¯s head, held back by the green Spiritual Energy Long Arrows, flying with one strike.


    The power of the Water Sword Talisman has yet to dissipate. Chen Mobai opened his mouth, activated Cold Ice Technique, froze and strengthened the transparent water sword in his palm, and then flicked his fingers.


    In the cracking sound-


    Gong Xiangyu exploded with the powerful spiritual energy of the ninth level of Qi Cultivation. He forcibly withdrew his Spiritual Control and broke free from the Green Arrow Talisman¡¯s Spirit Qi Long Arrows.


    At that moment, the lost Cold Ice Water Sword shot straight at Gong Xiangyu¡¯s forehead between his eyes, emanating a bright Bai Guang, like a divine sword from the heavens.


    ¡°This guy, is he trying to kill me!¡±


    Gong Xiangyu was furious, regretting his earlier decision to hold back.


    Applying two Godspeed Talismans on his legs, his entire body, accompanied by afterimages, quickly retreated three meters back.


    With a ¡°thunk¡± sound!


    After losing the target, the Cold Ice Water Sword went straight through the dueling stage, leaving only the hilt on the stone¡¯s surface.


    ¡°Is the Water Sword Talisman this sharp?¡±


    Below the stage, many students were taken aback watching this scene.


    The Water Sword Talisman is known for its ability to control its dissipation and concentrate like a soft whip.


    While it could leave a mark on stones using this talisman, cutting through like tofu was entirely another level of power, just like what Chen Mobai did.


    ¡°The combination of spells and talismans, this young man may have a weaker cultivation level, but when it comes to duel awareness, he¡¯s likely the top of his class.¡±


    The man in the red robe sitting in the commentary stand quietly nodded as he watched this.


    ¡°It looks like this battle won¡¯t be one-sided.¡±


    The representatives from the Daoist Academy who were originally just idly watching, were now fully engaged.


    There were even Daoist Academy representatives evaluating Chen Mobai¡¯s battle consciousness, his mastery of spells, pondering how they could recruit him if his scores weren¡¯t enough.


    The representatives of the last several academies in the top ten rankings even stood up, directly coming to the edge of the platform.


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai found himself in a tough fight.


    Gong Xiangyu¡¯s Godspeed Talisman was of exceptional quality, and it seemed he had also used another powerful talisman. His right hand was suddenly covered in a layer of fine scales, and his eyes had transformed into vertical pupils.


    Boom!


    A spray of water erupted from Chen Mobai¡¯s right abdomen, a reaction produced from his Water Elemental Shield clashing with Gong Xiangyu¡¯s incoming right fist.


    Boom!


    This time, it was his left cheek that got hit.


    Boom!


    Next, it was the area around his spine.


    If it wasn¡¯t for his well-trained Water Elemental Shield that could move according to his will, and his proficient Water Controlling Technique, he may not have been able to withstand Gong Xiangyu¡¯s ferocious punches.


    ¡°About time, let¡¯s test his speed limit.¡±


    After being hit almost ten times, Chen Mobai had a clear understanding of Gong Xiangyu¡¯s rhythm.


    Between his thoughts, the Dark Water in the Water Storage Talisman poured out, turning into a water net under his Divine Sense control, covering every possible direction Gong Xiangyu could attack from.


    But Gong Xiangyu¡¯s battle consciousness was nothing like his previous opponents.


    Gong Xiangyu¡¯s rapidly advancing figure paused momentarily, then quickly darted left and right, pulling with it the circulating Dark Water, each testing the other¡¯s speed.


    However, compared to Chen Mobai¡¯s Water Controlling Technique that moved at his thoughts, Gong Xiangyu¡¯s Godspeed Talisman, which required physical movement, had a limit.


    ¡°Got you.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes flickered with Spiritual Light, his Divine Sense working at its best, using the Dark Water net controlled by his Water Controlling Technique to trap Gong Xiangyu on the platform, tightening around him.


    ¡°Is it about to end?¡±


    This thought flashed through the minds of the students watching below. They hadn¡¯t expected that it would be Gong Xiangyu who was first pushed into a corner.


    Boom!


    Just when Gong Xiangyu was about to be trapped by the water net, his speed, already thrice that of an ordinary man, increased even further, darting out from the opening as the net closed in.


    ¡°Perfect, my Spirit Transformation Talisman is ready. It¡¯s time to show everyone my Spiritual Control Technique.¡±


    After Gong Xiangyu broke through the Dark Water Net with a burst of speed, one could see dark scales appearing all over his body, starting from his right hand.


    ¡°You¡¯ve fallen into my trap.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s voice sounded in Gong Xiangyu¡¯s ears, the latter frowned, not understanding what the former was babbling about. Suddenly, it seemed like he had stepped on a talisman.


    Crack!


    Columns of wood sprouted from the platform where Gong Xiangyu had stepped, instantly turning into a sturdy wooden cage that only a bug could fly out of.


    ¡°Wood Prison Talisman, a simple talisman. I put it near the spot where the Dark Water Net had a flaw, waiting for you to step on it.¡±


    Chen Mobai still stood at his original position. He made no move, but waved his right hand, a chunk of Dark Water formed into a giant fist following his Divine Sense. It then punched the wooden cage that trapped Gong Xiangyu out of the platform¡¯s range..

 Chapter 116 - Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Victory_l

    Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Victory_l


    Translator: 549690339


    One of the rules of the Magic Duel stipulated that anyone who was knocked out of the ring and touched the ground would be considered defeated.


    Chen Mobai knew that the Wood Prison Talisman would not be able to hold Gong Xiangyu for long, so he immediately knocked his entrapped opponent out of the ring.


    ¡°Damn it, how can I lose in this round?¡±


    While shouting in rage, Gong Xiangyu, who had been hit by the water fist in mid-air, took out another talisman. Suddenly, a burst of black blade light erupted. However, the mere Rank-1, lower-grade ordinary Wood Prison Talisman only lasted for two seconds before it was sliced open and shattered.


    ¡°The Spirit Transformation Talisman is complete, and I can soon display power that surpasses the Qi Cultivating Realm¡­¡±


    At that moment, Gong Xiangyu¡¯s right hand was completely covered with scales. Along with his roar, the arm suddenly stretched out like a long snake, grabbing onto the edge of the ring. Then a burst of extraordinary strength erupted, forcibly steadying his out-of-control body in the air.


    ¡°Get back in there!¡±


    Amidst his booming shout, Gong Xiangyu, pulled by his right hand, forcibly dragged his body suspended in mid-air back towards the ring.


    This sight made many people¡¯s hairs stand on end.


    Although there were countless spells on the Path of Cultivation, this scenario of an arm converting into something resembling a snake was something that the less seasoned Qi Cultivation students found rather unsettling.


    However, on the spectator¡¯s stand, the representative of the Daoist Academy watched with great interest.


    ¡°After completing the transformation, he can now fully leverage the power of the Spiritual Control Technique.¡±


    ¡°If this continues, despite the excellent fighting awareness and magical construction of the youngster, he might not stand a chance to beat him.¡±


    ¡°We share the same thoughts, but Chen Mobai has given me too many surprises. Maybe he has a trump card that can beat the Spiritual Control Technique.¡±


    The words of Lan Haitian slightly surprised the three people present.


    Judging from his tone, it seems he knew him.


    ¡°No, it seems there won¡¯t be a second round.¡±


    Just then, Bian Yiqing, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Although his Cultivation Level was merely at the Foundation Establishment, he was a grandmaster in the path of sound. He had the ability to perceive details that others did not notice by the melody of the atmosphere, predicting future omens.


    Lan Haitian, the other two, as well as the representatives of the Daoist Academy seated behind them, all looked forward to the ring, especially Chen Mobai¡¯s actions.


    Finally, Lan Haitian, the one with the highest cultivation and the most battle experience, noticed something.


    He saw Chen Mobai¡¯s fingers trembling slightly, and the left hand seemed to be holding something while being gently lifted.


    At the same time, the Cold Ice Water Sword, which was originally inserted at the center of the ring, flew straight up and fell towards Gong Xiangyu like a Flying Sword under the control of the Water Controlling Technique.


    Whoosh!


    A brilliant Bai Guang streaked across the ring, drawing a perfect arc in everyone¡¯s eyes. Bringing with it a faint cold stream, it severed the base of Gong Xiangyu¡¯s snake hand, which was gripping the edge of the ring, at a lightning speed.


    With a ¡°ding¡± sound, sparks flew everywhere!


    Gong Xiangyu¡¯s scales, which had emerged from his body after transforming, were surprisingly hard. While the Cold Ice Water Sword was indeed bolstered by the Spell, it was not a true Flying Sword. Although it did shatter two scale armors, it could not sever his snake hand completely.


    Hiss Hiss Hiss¡­


    The eerie hissing noises came from between Gong Xiangyu¡¯s teeth. With his cold slit eyes wide open, and half of his body already back on the ring, his foot was about to step on the platform. Suddenly, an incredibly hot stream of air abruptly emerged.


    Then, a crimson flame rose around Chen Mobai, like a giant sword overflowing with flames, it heavily descended onto Gong Xiangyu¡¯s head.


    The latter immediately triggered his last defensive talisman, not hoping to block this top-quality, rank-1 talisman that was Chen Mobai¡¯s trump card, but hoped to delay it for a moment in order to get himself free.


    ¡°It¡¯s over.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke softly. His right hand held the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, his left hand moved again, controlling the Cold Ice Water Sword.


    To everyone¡¯s astonishment, he used the water sword to cut off a large chunk of the arena that Gong Xiangyu¡¯s snake-like arm was holding onto.


    Simultaneously, the power of the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman erupted completely.


    Gong Xiangyu felt an unexpected lightness in his body. He then lost control, carried by the red fire sword, heavily crashed outside the arena, more than ten meters away.


    Boom!


    Starting from Chen Mobai, the perfectly square stone-built arena was cut with a huge trench by the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, extending twenty to thirty meters outward. The farther out it went, the bigger the trench¡¯s diameter, as if spreading outwards and reaching its maximum at the edge of the arena.


    This was because Chen Mobai had caused the concentrated Crimson Flame Sword Talisman to explode at that point, turning it into a tremendous shockwave that sent Gong Xiangyu flying out of the arena.


    At the end of the trench was Gong Xiangyu, his body trembling after landing, his eyes wide, his face in disbelief.


    Every part of his body seemed like it had been smoked and charred, looking quite horrifying. Laymen would think he was severely injured, but cultivators such as Lan Haitian at the Foundation Establishment level could sense his vitality was unprecedentedly vigorous.


    This was the sign that the Spirit Transformation Talisman was fully effective, providing him with the ability to control a portion of the Rank-2 Spirit Control Power.


    However, all of this had become pointless.


    Because he had been thrown off the arena.


    And he had lost.


    It was a total defeat.


    Even though he could justify himself by blaming his carelessness and underestimating his opponent, Gong Xiangyu knew if he really did that, he would lose his last vestige of dignity and become a sore loser in the eyes of the representatives from the Daoist Academy, a weak-hearted clown.


    ¡°Who would have thought, I would lose to you!¡±


    In the magic duel, Gong Xiangyu did not assume he could win with 100% certainty, but he believed the ones who could potentially defeat him were Yan Feng and Kong Feichen. Not even Yang Jing would be a match for him.


    ¡°Referee.¡±


    But Chen Mobai did not respond to his words. Instead, he raised his hand and called out to the astounded teacher from Cinnabarite Institute who was sitting below the stage.


    ¡°Oh.¡± At Chen Mobai¡¯s beckoning, the referee teacher regained his senses. After lightly coughing, he announced the result.


    ¡°The winner is, Chen Mobai!¡±


    As these words were called out, Lu Hongsheng¡¯s suppressed cheer broke out. It was as if he had gone mad, shouting loudly.


    Not just him, those who had gambled a lot and placed their bets on Chen Mobai also had bloodshot eyes.

    Facing his fellow students from the Fifth High School rushing onto the arena towards him, Chen Mobai remained calm.


    To be honest, Gong Xiangyu¡¯s Spirit Control Technique and even his spiritual power had somewhat exceeded his expectations.


    When Gong Xiangyu¡¯s Spirit Transformation Talisman took effect and unleashed a vast spiritual power far beyond the Qi Cultivating Realm, Chen Mobai even had the feeling that he was going to lose.


    However, in the end, Chen Mobai found a way to win.


    Or perhaps, sensing the aura of the demonic beast within Gong Xiangyu who was undergoing Transformation, aroused Chen Mobai¡¯s battle experience obtained from fighting to the death against demonic beasts on Green Light Island..

    Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Thunder Method_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Old Chen, you¡¯re awesome.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng was the first to dash to Chen Mobai¡¯s side, trying to lift him by hugging his waist, but the latter didn¡¯t budge an inch. Not feeling awkward, the former naturally rested his hand on Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulder, hopping in celebration with the classmates from the fifth high school.


    ¡°Congratulations.¡±


    Compared to the boys, the girls were more composed. Cao Yaling subtly expressed her congratulations. Class president Mo Simin was somewhat excited, with her pretty face blushing. But Shi Jingjing had turned pale, her eyes vacant.


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai knew immediately. She probably bet on his loss this round and had lost everything.


    ¡°Oh, aren¡¯t you happy that I¡¯ve advanced, Miss Shi?¡±


    Chen Mobai decided to tease her, but she burst into tears immediately upon hearing this.


    This unexpected reaction left everyone a bit at a loss.


    In the end, it was Cao Yaling, who had experience in such matters, who took her away from the stage to console her.


    ¡°It seems that she put all the profit from the previous rounds into this one.¡±


    Shi Yuanqing, who was Shi Jingjing¡¯s relative, quietly explained why she had reacted this way. Chen Mobai understood, but what could he say about it?


    After all, it was Shi Jingjing who didn¡¯t trust him.


    Meanwhile, the referee teacher magically transformed the ruined stage back to its original condition within five minutes, after it was damaged by Chen Mobai¡¯s Crimson Flame Sword Talisman.


    Following Chen Mobai and Gong Xiangyu, it was now Shi Yuanqing and Xue Luan¡¯s turn for a magic duel.


    The latter had already landed on the stage. With his square face and buzz cut, he looked thin but exuded a tough aura.


    ¡°Good luck in the next round.¡±


    Chen Mobai patted Shi Yuanqing¡¯s shoulder, encouraging him.


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m sure to win this round.¡±


    Having overcome his self-repression, Shi Yuanqing was very different from before. He stepped onto the stage with high morale.


    ¡°Oh, you seem to be a bit different.¡±


    Xue Luan, seeing Shi Yuanqing in front of him, raised an eyebrow, but his gaze didn¡¯t change.


    ¡°And you seem to be just the same as before.¡±


    Shi Yuanqing¡¯s face was calm. With each breath, his cultivation technique revolved, causing the freshly repaired stage to slowly shake.


    ¡°Tsk, I never realized you could talk like this.¡±


    Xue Luan tilted his head, narrowing his gaze, and slightly bent his knees.


    At the same time, Shi Yuanqing mirrored the motion.


    ¡°Have both of them served in the army?¡±


    One of the representatives of the Academy was confused upon seeing their starting stances.


    ¡°They must¡¯ve been sent there for training for magic duels.¡±


    Lan Haitian comes from a military family. Although he only glanced at their stances, he made an accurate judgment.


    While these two had been trained well, especially Xue Luan, they still lacked a blood-thirsty, combative aura seen in veterans.


    Nevertheless, the standard boxing stances of Shi Yuanqing and Xue Luan made Lan Haitian itch for action, something he hadn¡¯t felt in a while.


    ¡°Who do you think will win?¡±


    ¡°Xue Luan, I guess.¡±


    ¡°I agree with you.¡±


    Among the representatives of the Academy, eight thought Xue Luan would win, one believed Shi Yuanqing might deliver an upset, but Yan Qiongzhi of the Nature Studies Academy showed no interest and made no comment.


    Just as they turned to the representatives of the Four Daoist Academies to hear their opinions, the referee on the stage had already announced the start of the duel.


    Bang!


    Shi Yuanqing and Xue Luan did not waste any time in fanciness and directly engaged in a face-to-face punch.


    The air emitted ripples that originated from the center of their fists.


    Then, Xue Luan¡¯s entire presence suddenly vanished.


    Shi Yuanqing raised his left hand as if he had anticipated this¡ªall at once, a kick seemed to be automatically delivered to his wrist.


    Thump thump thump!


    In an instant, the two had swapped places, moving so swiftly that students with poorer visual acuity could hardly discern their true location. All they could hear was the tumultuous upheaval of the air, and the subsequent clear footprints emerging one after another atop the rock that formed the fighting ring.


    However, in a blink of an eye, the entire rock shattered due to the stray force generated from their battle. Even the rock ring couldn¡¯t withstand such an impact.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    A distinct sound echoed from before, Shi Yuanqing had shown an opening in his form, and his chestplate had been kicked open, fractures appearing all over.


    His body seemed to have been hit by a hefty force, as he took several steps back, creating various dents in the process, releasing a significant amount of force just to halt his backward momentum.


    Whoosh!


    Just like a shadow, Xue Luan appeared at Shi Yuanqing¡¯s left, delivering a sweeping kick to his left knee.


    Crack!


    Something seemed to have been torn apart. The swift Xue Luan halted abruptly and then retreated hastily.


    Yet at that moment, Shi Yuanqing advanced instead of stepping back. Both of his hands came together, transforming the sky full of mud into two whips and striking hard at Xue Luan¡¯s tangled arms.


    ¡°Whoo!¡±


    Shi Yuanqing exhaled, a faint red flame spewed out from his mouth and nose, landing on Xue Luan¡¯s uncontrollably shaking face.


    Though his hands were hit badly and his feet were in severe pain, Xue Luan, against all odds, spat something out of his mouth. A talisman attached to his tongue was activated.


    Whoosh!


    The sound of gushing water echoed. A water sword burst forth from Xue Luan¡¯s mouth, colliding with the flame from Shi Yuanqing¡¯s mouth. Amidst violent explosions, a cloud of water vapor was diffused, thoroughly obscuring the two of them.


    ¡°Hm, this move is not bad, I can copy it.¡±


    After watching Xue Luan hide the talisman in his mouth in advance and activate it with his tongue when his hands were incapacitated, Chen Mobai found it enlightening.


    Thump thump thump!


    At this moment, half of the fighting ring was shrouded by the water vapor. Still, the rapidly moving shadows of the two could be vaguely seen by the crowd. The continuous sounds of punches colliding and the unsettling noise of the disturbed airflow incessantly reminded all the spectators of the fierce battle within.


    ¡°Not good, Yuanqing seems to be suppressed.¡±


    Unbeknownst to when it happened, Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling had returned. Their eyes twinkled¡ªthe Spirit Eye they used saw through the fog.


    ¡°Hm, you¡¯re alright now.¡±


    ¡°Shut up, you made me lose all my pocket money.¡±


    She would¡¯ve been fine hadn¡¯t he spoken¡ªShi Jingjing felt the urge to cry again the second he opened his mouth.


    ¡°So, this¡­¡±


    Boom!


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to start preaching, a thunderous roar came from the fighting ring. The mist was then torn apart, revealing the upper body of Xue Luan, a lithe figure with no apparent muscular definition but, an amazingly well-proportioned and perfect physique.


    Meanwhile, Shi Yuanqing was sent flying out by his punch, along with the surrounding mist.


    Streaks of lightning flickered on Xue Luan¡¯s buzz cut brows; he stood in the middle of the ring like a thunder god.

    ¡°Thunder method!?¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t believe what he was seeing.


    For it was known that the Thunder method was the undisputedly most powerful among all spells.


    All the spells that came with Blackwater Cultivation, only the ¡°Ren Water Thunder Method¡± was something he couldn¡¯t master at all, he couldn¡¯t even manage the basics.


    Could it be that Xue Luan had mastered the Thunder method!?

    Chapter 118: Chapter 118 ¨C On the verge of a breakthroughl


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°It¡¯s just electricity, not yet thunder.¡±


    Cao Yaling adjusted her glasses, discerned the reality behind the scene, and informed Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Although Thunder method is difficult to practice, there are countless wonders and unique skills in the world of immortals. Xue Luan from the Five Thunder Sect may have practiced ¡®Ascent Thunder Jue¡¯, and maybe he has successfully transformed his Spiritual Root into the Thunder Spiritual Root.¡±


    Class president Mo Simin, knowing that Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t pay much attention to these things, pointed out the representative of the Five Thunder Sect in the spectators¡¯ gallery after Cao Yaling finished speaking. Indeed, the representative was already standing up, looking at Xue Luan with new respect.


    ¡°How is Yan Bingxuan doing?¡±


    Speaking of the Technique for Enhancing Spiritual Roots, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered his classmate who had helped him before and asked about her.


    ¡°She probably needs a good rest. Although Yan Feng didn¡¯t intend to hurt her seriously, her usage of Xuan Ice Change completely drained her Spiritual Power and somewhat damaged her foundation.¡±


    ¡°Is it serious?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she has used this opportunity to completely transform her foundation into Xuan Bing Jue, which can be considered as achieving her original goal of participating in the Magic Duel.¡±


    After hearing Mo Simin¡¯s words, Chen Mobai nodded slightly.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    At this moment, Xue Luan, who had used the Purple Electrical Cultivation on the stage, suddenly doubled his speed and completely suppressed Shi Yuanqing.


    If it weren¡¯t for his Green Jade Talisman, which provided a strong defense, and his Porcelain Armor that covered his entire body without a blind spot, he would have been pierced through long ago.


    Even so, the layers of jade-like porcelain tiles on Shi Yuanqing¡¯s body started to crack under the impact of Purple Electric Fist Strength.


    Traces of Electricity Penetrating Power seeped in, causing his skin to redden and bleed.


    In no time, half of Shi Yuanqing¡¯s body turned bloody red, his clothes tattered and he was about to be blasted off the stage by Xue Luan.


    ¡°It¡¯s over.¡±


    Xue Luan, full of afterimages on the stage, raised his right fist, a cluster of purple lightning gathered around it. Like a roaring thunder, it carried a tremendous force, and he heavily pounded it into the center of Shi Yuanqing¡¯s chest.


    Crack!


    The Green Jade Talisman that covered his entire body finally reached its limit. After a harsh sound, it broke completely, scattered into the sky and disappeared.


    Whoosh!


    But at the same time, Shi Yuanqing formed his fingers into a sword, gathering dust particles into a thin earthen sword, and stabbed it into Xue Luan¡¯s right shoulder at the moment his fist hit his chest.


    In the ensuing spray of blood, the two opponents each extended their other hand, disregarding their own injuries, and punched each other again.


    Splat!


    Shi Yuanqing couldn¡¯t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, and fell to the edge of the stage.


    On the other hand, Xue Luan was also in a bad state, he retreated to the center of the stage, his right hand hanging limply, having lost all sensation due to his shoulder blade being pierced.


    ¡°You really are different from before.¡±


    Despite his disabled hand, Xue Luan stood fiercely, lightning flickering between his brows. His momentum seemed to become stronger after being wounded, as if his battle-hardened nature had been aroused.


    ¡°If you were the same as before, with only these skills, then you would have lost to me in no time.¡±


    Shi Yuanqing raised his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and despite the sunken wound on his chest, his blood-soaked skin emitted a jade-like glow.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xue Luan couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. Then, his eyes turned sharp, and the previously flickering electricity suddenly intensified into streaks of purple lightning.


    ¡°You make me want to kill you.¡±


    Shi Yuanqing gave a cold smile, reached out his both hands, and grabbed at the stage. The dust fragments crushed in their fight, under his Divine Sense control, covered his entire body.


    ¡°Useless. My Purple Electrical Cultivation broke your Green Jade Talisman. Your Rock Soil Armor won¡¯t be able to withstand two of my punches.¡±


    Even as Xue Luan was speaking, he had already rushed to Shi Yuanqing, his left hand powerfully aiming a punch right at the wound on Shi Yuanqing¡¯s chest.


    Whoosh!


    Shi Yuanqing opened his mouth and a jet of fire spewed out, covering his entire body.


    Xue Luan, not wanting another lose-lose tactic, immediately activated his Purple Electrical Cultivation and quickly pulled back.


    But at this moment, Shi Yuanqing charged towards him.


    Bang!


    The two once again sparred mid-air, Xue Luan continued to retreat. Having no other choice, he activated the Gold Armor Talisman that covered his entire body. Then, amid the intertwining of purple lightning and the golden light, he rammed head-on into the fiery Shi Yuanqing.


    A thud echoed!


    Shi Yuanqing was sent flying, but Xue Luan was also in pain. An unknown Ceramic Sword managed to stab him in the waist, causing another injury.


    As blood gushed, Xue Luan pulled out the Ceramic Sword from his waist and crushed it. He lifted his head, with his pupil showing unprecedented frenzy.


    ¡°Interesting, you are the first one in the same realm that could inflict such damage on me.¡±


    Shi Yuanqing somehow donned a layer of Porcelain Armor, but it definitely wasn¡¯t from an illegal usage of the Green Jade Talisman, otherwise he would have been knocked down by the crowd watching the duel by now.


    He struggled to stand up on the stage, spitting out the blood from his throat.


    ¡°You¡¯re wrong, we¡¯re not in the same realm.¡±


    Saying this, Shi Yuanqing reached into the void. Dust gathered onto his hands and the broken Porcelain Armor, subsequently covered by flames. Two shining snow white Ceramic Swords and a brand new Porcelain Armor were formed in the scorching flames.


    ¡°Great, he has made a breakthrough¡±.


    Shi Jingjing, who knew best about Shi Yuanqing¡¯s cultivation technique, looked at the stage where his cousin effortlessly formed the snow white Ceramic Sword and Porcelain Armor, her face filled with surprise and delight.


    At first, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand which aspect she was referring to when she mentioned a ¡°breakthrough¡±.


    But soon he detected that although Shi Yuanqing was weakened, his spiritual power fluctuation was even more vigorous than before, promptly understanding.


    So he made a breakthrough in battle and reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Could he be the highlight of this Magic Duel?


    ¡°Perfect, when I knock someone like you off the stage, then my invincibility in battles is significant!¡±


    However, seeing Shi Yuanqing breakthrough to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, Xue Luan wasn¡¯t scared at all. Instead, he became even more fanatical and with his only usable arm left, raised his Purple Electrical Cultivation to a peak far beyond his physical limits.


    Rumble!


    The sky seemed to crack open with a thunderous boom. The clouds grew dark, and a cluster of menacing thunderclouds gradually gathered, emitting blinding light.


    ¡°If you attract that thunderbolt into your body, you might die.¡±


    The representative of the Five Thunder Sect suddenly spoke, seriously advising Xue Luan.


    ¡°I would rather die than lose!¡±


    Xue Luan laughed loudly and raised his left arm.


    Woosh!


    At the same time, Shi Yuanqing also burst out all his spiritual power, swinging his two snow white Ceramic Swords and executed his most stunningly brilliant Sword Light.

    Rumble!


    A bolt of lightning struck down from the heavens, directly hitting Xue Luan on top of his head, incinerating his hair, but also igniting his stalled Qj mechanism.


    Without hesitating, he clenched his fist, with the lightning enclosed within, and met Shi Yuanqing¡¯s Sword Light head-on.


    In an enormous sonic boom, blinding light erupted.


    Even Cao Yaling and Shi Jingjing couldn¡¯t see clearly..

    Amidst the roaring blast.


    Two bloody figures fell simultaneously, Chen Mobai rushed towards Shi Yuanqing immediately, intending to catch him before he hit the ground.


    But while his reflexes were quick, someone else was quicker.


    A plain white figure overtook Chen Mobai, supported Shi Yuanqing, then gently laid him on the ground and skillfully sealed off several critical acupoints on Shi Yuanqing¡¯s body.


    ¡°Friend Ning, the situation here is more urgent, he¡¯s barely breathing, come over quickly to save him.¡±


    The representative of the Five Thunder Academy, who had just taken care of Shi Yuanqing on the stage, called out in a panic.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, as long as I¡¯m here, even if he has no breath left, I can bring him back from hell¡¯s door,¡± the voice assured.


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai had just arrived. The representative of the Imperial Medical Academy, dressed in a white robe, immediately grabbed his hand and placed it on Shi Yuanqing¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Use this pressure and don¡¯t stop, I¡¯ll head over there to save the other one,¡± the representative of the Imperial Medical Academy, a young man with a face ¡¯ mask, instructed Chen Mobai before rushing towards the stage.


    Although Xue Luan had ejected Shi Yuanqing out of the platform, his condition was extremely desperate, not only were all his pores burnt, but the fingers of his left hand, clenched to form lightning, had melted to only show the stark white bones.


    Moreover, his breathing was extremely weak and the frantic power of heavenly thunder was rampaging, rupturing his meridians and even causing them to explode.


    Had it not been for the representative of the Five Thunder Academy who understood thunder spiritual power very well, used his power to protect Xue Luan¡¯s Dantian Qi Sea, and taken out a Thunder Bead to place on Xue Luan¡¯s chest, constantly absorbing the unchecked power of the heavenly thunder inside him, Xue Luan would have been long gone.


    When the representative of the Imperial Medical Academy arrived, he was even more professional.


    He pulled out a scalpel from his sleeve, made eighteen precise and graceful incisions on Xue Luan¡¯s body, and blood was splattered everywhere.


    Upon the first cut, the dark purple thunder force that was restrained by meridians and flesh rapidly rushed out from Xue Luan¡¯s body along the incision and was completely absorbed by the Thunder Bead handled by the representative of the Five Thunder Academy.


    ¡°Go back and recuperate for half a year; your life is spared, but full recovery might depend on your academy¡¯s Shenxiao orthodoxy.¡±


    ¡°He may not even be able to enter our academy.¡±


    The representative of the Five Thunder Academy glanced at Xue Luan, whose breathing had returned to normal, and no longer showed the earlier sense of urgency. Instead, he put on an act in front of the representative of the Imperial Medical Academy.


    ¡°The school doctor of Cinnabarite Institute, come take this person away, I¡¯ll go handle the other one.¡±


    The representative of the Imperial Medical Academy, Ning Anning, had been rapidly gaining a reputation in the field of medicine over the past twenty years. After instructing the school doctor, he returned to where Chen Mobai was.


    ¡°Hmm, good first aid.¡±


    Ning Anning first looked at Chen Mobai¡¯s actions, complimenting him before asking him to stop. He then pulled out his scalpel again and deftly cut open the layer of Porcelain Armor on Shi Yuanqing¡¯s body.


    The Porcelain Armor, which could resist the power of heavenly thunder, was as weak as tofu in front of this small scalpel.


    ¡°This kid is really reckless. On the verge of breaking three ribs, he still wanted to fight for victory.¡±


    Ning Anning opened the chest wound that Xue Luan had caused Shi Yuanqing, released the lightning spiritual power trapped within, sprinkled a bottle of healing powder on the wound, then swiped his hand over it, all the displaced and broken bones instantly corrected, and the dented flesh bounced back to its normal state.


    However, the wound needed time to heal, and bone recovery was the slowest. ¡°Take a calcium supplement and rest for three months, you¡¯ll soon be fine,¡± Ning Anning advised.


    ¡°Thank you, doctor.¡±


    Chen Mobai and Shi Jingjing both thanked Ning Anning at the same time Ning Anning merely waved his hand and called the school doctor of the Cinnabarite Institute to transport Shi Yuanqing away after using the Cleaning Technique on himself.


    ¡°I initially thought it would be a boring magic duel, but I have become quite interested in the next two rounds.¡±


    Having treated the injured, Ning Anning casually returned to his observation platform and laughed as he addressed the other representatives of the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Both of them just now were promising candidates for our Primordial Elemental Academy.¡±


    A stunning-looking young lady glanced at Xue Luan and Shi Yuanqing, who were being carried away on a stretcher, and opened her mouth to say something that made the representative of Five Thunder Academy snort indignantly.


    ¡°The one who had an Earth and Fire Dual Spirit Root breakthrough during the battle aside, if this Xue Luan does not come to our Five Thunder Academy, the rest of his life will be ruined.¡±


    If he has a Fire Spirit Root, he could come to our Pure Yang Academy for advanced studies. Who knows? He might have a chance for Core Formation in the future.¡±


    A chubby man said something that earned everyone¡¯s rolled eyes. Core Formation was a possibility for everyone present, but those who finally managed to achieve Core Formation will most likely be one or two at most.


    The names of Lan Haitian and Yan Qiongzhi were highly regarded. They had been at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage for over a decade and were still waiting for the right opportunity, daring not to rashly take the leap forward.


    ¡°The third round has begun.¡±


    After the warm-up of the previous two rounds, the representatives of the Daoist Academy, who were not initially interested, immediately turned their attention to Yang Jing and Hong Gang who had just taken the stage.


    ¡°There seems to be a problem with this girl.¡±


    Upon closer inspection, Ning Anning suddenly noticed something.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Have you taken a liking to this Different Spiritual Root? Do you want to snatch her from Elder Sister Yan?¡±


    The representative of Five Thunder Academy asked curiously when he heard Ning Anning¡¯s words.


    ¡°No, I could be mistaken.¡±


    Ning Anning shook his head and didn¡¯t say anything else.


    The girl in a blue dress sitting at the far left of their row raised her eyes and gave Ning Anning a slightly surprised look.


    Yan Qiongzhi hadn¡¯t expected him to notice.


    The battle was somewhat disappointing for them.


    Although Hong Gang had cultivated the Vajra Body, he was completely overpowered by Yang Jing¡¯s weird Yin spiritual power and was quickly targeted for his weak divine sense. After only ten moves, his eyes went white, and he fainted on the stage.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°It¡¯s a bit disappointing.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head. Hong Gang had a grand reputation and was reputedly evenly matched with Xue Luan. Chen Mobai initially thought that even if Hong Gang wasn¡¯t Yang Jing¡¯s equal, he should at least be able to force some tricks out of her, but he didn¡¯t even have the chance to fight back.


    The last round was between Kong Feichen and Ji Jing.


    That was even more of a foregone conclusion. Although Ji Jing put in a lot of effort and even reached the peak of the Qi Cultivation eighth stage, with Shi Yuanqing¡¯s on-the-spot breakthrough as a precedent, Kong Feichen didn¡¯t give her any opportunity to breathe.


    The moment he stepped on stage, he bombarded her with a Rank-i Wind Thunder Talisman and wind spiritual power. Ji Jing struggled to hold on for several rounds, but after she used up all her talismans, Kong Feichen broke all her defenses and she had to surrender..

    Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Drawing the Spirit Pen 1


    Translator: 549690339                    ¡ª


    ¡°Anticlimactic.¡±


    After watching the latter two magic duels, the representatives of the Daoist Academy shook their heads, unable to hide the disappointment on their faces. In the first duel between Chen Mobai and Gong Xiangyu, the weaker overcame the stronger, beating an opponent in a higher rank.


    In this battle, the tactical consciousness and battle experience Chen Mobai showcased, even the complete system of spells and talismans, would rank him top three among all Qi cultivators they have ever seen.


    Gong Xiangyu, who was Chen Mobai¡¯s opponent, had mastered the Spiritual Control Technique in the Qi Cultivating Realm, which was quite remarkable.


    If Gong Xiangyu had won this duel, Lan Haitian would also have been willing to recruit him into the Kunpeng Daoist Institute.


    The second duel was the most devastating in this round, whether it was the breakthrough on the battlefield or the invocation of lightning into the body, both were worth to be known as remarkable stories.


    There are still five people left, do we need to draw lots again?¡±


    Shang Qing asked the Chi Robed True Man in front of him, who shook his head. ¡°According to this draw, the first and second halves of the draw will match. Kong Feichen and Yang Jing are in the upper half, while Yan Feng, Xue Luan, and Chen Mobai are in the lower half.¡±


    ¡°If there are three people in the lower half, how do we duel?¡±


    Shang Qing was somewhat puzzled ¨C he had never seen such a pairing.


    Xue Luan can¡¯t fight anymore, he can only lie in bed to recover for the next half-year.¡±


    At this time, Ning Anning spoke up.


    Being the doctor who treated Xue Loan¡¯s injuries, he was confident about his prognosis.


    ¡°So, it turns out to be a perfect pair.¡±


    The Chi Robed True Man clapped his hands seemingly satisfied, indicating the referee from Cinnabarite Institute to bold the name of the winning player in the match table.


    Three days later, the semi-finals, you four can¡¯t disappoint me.¡±


    After hearing the Chi Robed True Man¡¯s words, Chen Mobai looked at his opponent.


    Yan Feng.


    A youth with a stern face, he was surrounded by people from Jade Everlasting High School in the center, their eyes meeting, sparks flying.


    ¡°Hey.¡±


    At this moment, the voice of Kong Feichen sounded beside Chen Mobai, who turned to look at him.


    ¡°As we agreed, see you in the final.¡±


    ¡°Yes, see you in the final.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded vigorously.


    Yan Feng sneered after hearing this, and amidst the indignant looks of his classmates, he turned and left.


    That guy has something up his sleeve, you need to be careful.¡±


    Kong Feichen pointed to Yan Feng¡¯s receding figure and suggested ambiguously.


    ¡°Yes, I feel like he might be stronger than you, perhaps the most formidable one in this duel.¡±


    Chen Mobai straightforwardly expressed his feelings, making Kong Feichen click his tongue.


    ¡°The most formidable one is right beside me?¡±


    Kong Feichen pointed to Yang Jing next to him, making a confusing remark


    that left Chen Mobai scratching his head.


    ¡°She can¡¯t reveal her true strength. In the semi-final, she will lose to me outright. But it¡¯s quite a pity, I originally planned for her to go against you so I wouldn¡¯t have to step in personally.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was even more puzzled.


    ¡°Do you have that much confidence that she could beat me?¡±


    ¡°She has cultivated a very strange technique that makes her invincible at the Qi Cultivating Realm. However, she suffers greatly from using that technique, and will be closely watched by the Daoist department, so we decided to let her lose to me in this duel.¡±


    What Kong Feichen said made Chen Mobai frown, as his description reminded him of something.


    Could she be cultivating a forbidden technique?¡±


    ¡°Huh! You are even aware of forbidden techniques!¡±


    Kong Feichen was astonished, seemingly surprised by Chen Mobai¡¯s accurate guess.


    ¡°I must remind you that Lan Haitian is here in Red Sandstone City this time to arrest someone practicing forbidden techniques. If you don¡¯t want her to be arrested as well, it¡¯s best not to reveal this matter any further.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai saw Kong Feichen as an opponent, he quite liked him and felt good about their first meeting, so he kindly offered this reminder.


    ¡°Your kindness is unnecessary, the forbidden technique Yang Jing practiced is approved by the Daoist department.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai slightly squinted his eyes but chose not to say anything more.


    If she is invincible in Qi Cultivation, why don¡¯t you lose to her? That could protect her to the final match, making it possible for neither me nor Yan Feng to be her opponent.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want her to suffer. The Four Major Daoist Academies won¡¯t accept her+¡±


    Kong Feichen eyed Yang Jing beside him, who remained motionless, half of her face hidden beneath a wide-rimmed hat.


    ¡°So I should thank you for stopping such a powerful opponent at the semi-final?¡±


    The words of Chen Mobai made Kong Feichen shook his head lightly.


    ¡°Well, the outcome is still going to be your defeat. There¡¯s no need for thanks.¡±


    The two of them sparred with words once more, then turned and left together.


    On his way back to his rented cave dwelling, Chen Mobai encountered a few students from Jade Everlasting High School who were goading him, but before he could take action, the student council of the Cinnabarite Institute stepped in. They subdued this group of people and expelled them from the area.


    One of them Chen Mobai recognized, it was Chan Si.


    Next to her was the rich senior sister.


    ¡°The principle specifically ordered us to ensure you are in the best condition


    for the semi-finals three days later.¡±


    The student council president, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a gentle demeanor and a calm expression. After hearing his explanation, Chen Mobai expressed his gratitude and returned to his cave dwelling under his escort.


    ¡°The school has already upgraded the spiritual energy in your cave dwelling to a Rank-2 lower-grade for free.¡±


    The student council president saw Chen Mobai off, upgraded the spiritual energy in the cave with his card, and then left with his people. But Chan Si and Shen Juanxiu stayed behind, spending some time talking to him.


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t the Cinnabarite Institute renowned for its Talismans? Do either of you have any old spirit pens that have been discarded?¡±


    Chen Mobai recalled his need to prepare for talisman making after the duel.


    He could buy talisman paper and he had sorted out the machine for making talisman ink, but he was still unsure about the spirit pen for drawing talismans.


    The shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual Talisman shop said that his spirit pen was passed down from his ancestors and had been used since childhood.

    In the Daoist world, the best spirit pens naturally come from Wei Yu Cave Heaven, but Chen Mobai was just about to get started and didn¡¯t need such high-grade goods. When he thought about buying online, local online shops only had single digit orders, and the reviews were average, making him hesitant to try.


    ¡°I have a Rank-1 upper-grade green bamboo pen, you can have it if you want.¡±


    The one who spoke was Shen Juanxiu, her family ran a mining business that specializes in a type of spiritual sand produced in Red Sandstone City, which makes them extraordinarily wealthy.


    ¡°That won¡¯t do, it¡¯s too valuable.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately refused, this Rank-t upper-grade drawing spirit pen would at least cost a hundred thousand Good Deed Points in the market, but he was a man who wouldn¡¯t accept undeserved rewards..

    ¡°Alright, then,¡± Shen Juanxiu began with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ll ask you for a favor. If you agree, you can have this green bamboo pen as a thank you gift. What do you say?¡±


    Chen Mobai was puzzled. He wondered why such a wealthy senior would need his help.


    ¡°Go ahead.¡±


    ¡°Do you know about the ¡®Foundation Establishment App¡¯?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid not.¡±


    Chen Mobai answered honestly. Shen Juanxiu then took out her cell phone, opened the app, and showed him its logo.


    ¡°This app was jointly created by the four Daoist academies and the top ten colleges. It¡¯s one of the best-reviewed apps in the entire cultivation world.¡± Shen Juanxiu explained what the ¡®Foundation Establishment App¡¯ was. After listening to her, Chen Mobai was stunned. He hadn¡¯t known that such an app existed in the cultivation world.


    Just by importing your personal data into the app, along with whatever spiritual objects you have for assisting in foundation establishment, the app can estimate your chances of successful foundation establishment based on your cultivation technique, realm, and the available external spiritual objects. The actual result of one¡¯s foundation establishment and the data analyzed by the ¡®Foundation Establishment App¡¯ had less than 1% discrepancy in the most recent thousand-year sample.


    However, using the ¡®Foundation Establishment App¡¯ requires borrowing the supercomputing power of the cultivation world, so not anyone could use it freely.


    To avoid wasting computational power, and to afford the chance to those who really needed it, ordinary users of the ¡®Foundation Establishment App¡¯ could only import one personal data profile.


    Since cultivators above the foundation establishment level do not need this app, most users are Qi Cultivating Realm students.


    In this, the students of the four Daoist academies get first priority to use the Foundation Establishment App, followed by those from the top ten colleges. From the remaining one hundred and twenty-forty schools, only a minimal few can be put in line by getting a recommendation from a distinguished figure like Crimson Robe. They could then apply to use the supercomputing power.


    ¡°So you mean to say that, if I enroll in the Daoist Academy, I can use my opportunity to import your personal data and see your chances of successful foundation establishment.¡±


    After listening to Shen Juanxiu¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai finally figured out what she was getting at.


    ¡°Exactly. Students from the four Daoist academies can apply to use supercomputing power to estimate their chances of foundation establishment through the Foundation Establishment App every two years before they establish foundation. But it takes three years until students from the top colleges can make a request.¡±


    ¡°However, each new student can directly queue in the front line to use the Foundation Establishment App.¡±


    ¡°Considering your performance in the magic duel, you can select any of the top colleges. This is the favor I¡¯m asking for,¡±


    Shen Juanxiu finished and then anxiously looked at Chen Mobai.


    She had failed to establish foundation once. Even though her family was rich, she couldn¡¯t afford more than two more attempts.


    Among these, failing twice consecutively would drain too much life force and essence. Thus, even if the last attempt happened before turning 60, the odds of success would drastically decrease.


    Therefore, this second chance at foundation establishment was valuable and she couldn¡¯t afford to fail it.


    While she was seeking spiritual medicine to recover her lost essence after failing her first attempt at foundation establishment, she was also slowly accumulating ¡®Foundation Establishment Treasures¡¯. For the chance of an additional estimation with the Foundation Establishment App, she had asked many people for help.


    However, no one was willing to give up such an opportunity. After all, if they succeeded in foundation establishment on their own, it would be like ascending to heaven in one step.


    Moreover, asking Crimson Robe for a queue slot was out of the question. Despite having a wealthy family, Shen Juanxiu didn¡¯t have enough influence to seek the aid of a Gold Core cultivator.


    ¡°You¡¯re currently at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation. It will take several years at minimum to reach the ninth level. If you give me the opportunity right after you get admitted to the academy, you can make a request again in three years when you¡¯re done with Qi Cultivation Perfection and ready to try foundation establishment.¡±


    ¡°If you agree, I won¡¯t only give you the green bamboo pen but also three jin of Rank-2 Ling Sha,¡±


    Shen Juanxiu had no need to beat around the bush and directly stated her offer.


    Upon hearing the proposal, Chen Mobai gladly accepted without the slightest hesitation.


    ¡°Ha!¡±


    His quick response left Shen Juanxiu, who had prepared for quite a lengthy persuasion, slightly startled.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to give it more thought?¡±


    Shen Juanxiu ironically felt a bit embarrassed now.


    However, Chen Mobai had already considered it thoroughly. Since he had Turtle Treasure to act as a proxy, this precious opportunity to others was nothing more than switching accounts to him.


    In addition, this wealthy senior had bought his Spirit Ascension Powder, thereby providing him with seed money.


    Thanks to this fund, he had been able to buy sufficient medicinal herbs to let Qing Nu refine the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. This enabled his realm to advance in such a short time and allowed him to stand on the stage of the magic duel to compete for the chance to get into the Daoist Academy.


    From this perspective, she also had helped Chen Mobai.


    More importantly, what she had said made sense.


    Based on his current stage, even if he had enough Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, it would take at least three to four years to achieve Qi Cultivation Perfection and prepare for foundation establishment.


    If that was the case, this opportunity was better used to gather resources for himself.


    Moreover, Ling Sha of Rank-2 was a precious commodity that one couldn¡¯t come by even with enough good deed points.


    Besides ¡°Beryl Phoenix Tree¡±, Red Sandstone City was mostly famous for its ¡°Cinnabar Ling Sha¡±.


    This magic-enhancing substance was an excellent spiritual object used to prepare the ink for talisman making. Similar to having spiritual extract in medicine making, including it in the ink would significantly increase the success rate of concoction and improve its quality.


    On the market, this Cinnabar Ling Sha could only be purchased by registered talisman makers within the cultivation world.


    Rank-1 Cinnabar Ling Sha was relatively cheap, selling at 5000 good deed points per jin.


    Rank-2¡¯s price, however, skyrockets to 100,000 good deed points per jin, with a purchase limit applied.


    About Rank-3, it¡¯s a priceless treasure, not available on the market.


    Only every ten years, Shen Juanxiu¡¯s family¡¯s Ling Sha mine could refine a few ounces of Rank-3 Ling Sha. These spiritual objects could never be utilised just for the minor benefit of getting an estimation from the Foundation Establishment App.


    After all, sometimes, knowing the outcome could be more discouraging. The largest Ling Sha mine in Red Sandstone City belonged to the Cinnabarite Institute. Alongside Beryl Phoenix Tree, Cinnabar Ling Sha was renowned as one of the twin treasures of Danxia, and it was the main source of fame for the region in the cultivation world.


    ¡°Wait here, and I will bring you the Green Bamboo Pen right away. I only have one jin of Rank-2 Cinnabar Ling Sha on me now. I¡¯ll go home tonight to fetch the rest.¡±


    After getting Chen Mobai¡¯s approval, Shen Juanxiu was thrilled. She was ready to give him his rewards ahead of the fulfilment of his promise and reserve this opportunity for herself.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to trouble yourself, senior Shen. How about converting the remaining two jin based on the market price and giving me the equivalent good deed points instead?¡±


    Chen Mobai showed no modesty and accepted the offer right away.


    Considering he was short on good deed points recently,furthermore, a jin of Rank-2 Cinnabar Ling Sha would last him quite a while as a novice talisman maker.


    ¡°Alright, just wait here.¡±


    Shen Juanxiu, eager to solve the matter, immediately dragged Chan Si to her cave dwelling to retrieve the pen..

    Chapter 122: Chapter 122 Let Me Enter the Final_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Inside the Cave Dwelling.


    Chen Mobai played with the drawing Spirit Pen in his hand. It was made of a bamboo tube, the pen body was engraved with a very sophisticated map of the bamboo sea, the end of the pen was decorated with a red tassel, the pen tip was conical, and the pen head was a full and smooth cylinder, full-bodied and evenly bristled.


    As expected of a Rank-1 top-grade, the manufacturing process alone was extremely exquisite.


    After inserting his spiritual power and dabbing it with a little water, he tested the pen tip on the table, but it was a bit difficult to control.


    But this was understandable, after all, he had just got it and needed more practice.


    After fiddling with the Green Bamboo Pen for half an hour, Chen Mobai placed the pen in the pen box that came with the gift, then picked up another woven bag.


    The opening of the bag was casually tied with a red string, and inside the bag was the ¡°Cinnabarite Ling Sha¡± of Rank-2.


    Upon opening the bag, Chen Mobai took out five irregularly sized reddish minerals, which were dark red in color, opaque but sparkling, and had a touch of deep, yet stable spiritual charm within.


    A careful look revealed two large pieces and three small ones.


    When held in hand, if Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know that this was Cinnabarite Ling Sha, he would feel they were nothing more than stones that no one would pick up at the side of the road.


    After playing with two items thoroughly, Chen Mobai¡¯s excitement faded, so he put them away into his own backpack, then diligently drank a tube of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and began practicing Five Elements Cultivation.


    Three days passed in a blink of an eye.


    Although Chen Mobai struggled against Gong Xiangyu, there was not much consumption of his Spiritual Power.


    By the day of the semi-finals, he had fully recovered to his peak state, and he felt that, after this period of Magic Duel, his Spiritual Power seemed to have improved somewhat.


    ¡°Old Chen, our whole class is here today.¡±


    Opening the door of his cave dwelling, Chen Mobai saw his desk-mate Lu Hongsheng. Next to him stood class leader Mo Simin and two beauties from the front desk, Pu Jiangxue and Yu Shu.


    ¡°The others are waiting at the arena, we came to accompany you so that those despicable students from Yuheng High School won¡¯t waste your spiritual power on the way.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng was indignantly referring to the harassment Chen Mobai received from the students of Yuheng High School.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the seniors from Cinnabarite Institute will escort me.¡±


    Chen Mobai appreciated their kindness, but at that moment the Escorting Student Council President also came. Chen Si and Shen Juanxiu were also among the group. Upon seeing their Formation teacher, Lu Hongsheng and the others started greeting them.


    ¡°Good, let¡¯s go together to cheer for Chen Mobai.¡±


    Though introverted by nature, at this time, Chen Mobai could only allow himself to be surrounded by a big group of people. He was escorted all the way from the cave dwelling entrance to the top of the peak to the combat arena.


    ¡°Oh, Yan Bingxuan is also here.¡±


    Upon reaching the top, Chen Mobai saw Yan Bingxuan sitting on a stone bench and was surprised.


    ¡°Not only her, but your girlfriend is also here.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng secretly pulled Chen Mobai aside, pointed in another direction, Qing Nu wearing a hat and a mask stood nearer to the front of the arena. When they looked over, she squinted and waved, smiling.


    ¡°How did you recognize her?¡±


    Honestly, if it were not pointed out by Lu Hongsheng, Chen Mobai might not have recognized Qing Nu among the crowd in this disguise.


    ¡°I came here early in the morning and saw Yan Bingxuan talking to her, so I recognized her immediately.¡±


    ¡°Those two?¡±


    Upon hearing that, Chen Mobai felt curious.


    He had the impression that Yan Bingxuan and Qing Nu would have absolutely nothing to chat about.


    Just then, a cheer rose from the crowd, and Yan Feng with his cold demeanor surprisingly flew up from below. Facing the rising sun, it was as if the whole person was enveloped in a layer of morning glow, making him blindingly radiant.


    ¡°So handsome!¡±


    Many of the Look Party audience saw this scene and couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in awe.


    ¡°This is in the bag!¡±


    Upon witnessing this scene, Chen Mobai knew that he should have this magic duel under his control.


    One in the Qi Cultivating Realm cannot fly by manipulating qi; the only possibility is by using a ¡°Flying Talisman.¡±


    However, even if this ¡°Flying Talisman¡±, a rank-1 superior talisman, consumes little spiritual power, it still uses spiritual power nonetheless.


    Yan Feng had used up a Flying Talisman to get here, which meant that he didn¡¯t start with his spiritual power at its fullest.


    Perhaps for others, this may seem like a trivial detail. But for Chen Mobai, a master tactician, it was enough to see the scale of victory tilt in his favor.


    Shortly after, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing also joined in.


    Unlike Yan Feng¡¯s flashy entrance, they honestly took the main route up, accompanied by a few students from the secondary school.


    Once all four of them were present, they looked around, each choosing a corner to stand in.


    While they¡¯re waiting for Crimson Robe and the representatives of Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai noticed Qing Nu making her way towards Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, a surprising sight that left him puzzled.


    Wanting to understand the situation, he observed that Qing Nu seemingly knew Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, greeting them with laughter and merriment.


    Feeling a bit lost, Chen Mobai decided to join them.


    ¡°Why did you come over as well?¡±


    Upon arriving, Chen Mobai greeted Qing Nu as if he had just noticed her, with evident joy.


    ¡°I came to cheer you guys on.¡±


    Qing Nu replied with a smile, leaving Chen Mobai, Kong Feichen, and Yang Jing utterly confused.


    When did you become acquainted?


    At that moment, Crimson Robe and the representatives from the Daoist Academy flew over. Upon landing, he waved his hand broadly.


    ¡°No need to waste time. Let¡¯s start the first half of the matchup.¡±


    After Crimson Robe announced the order for the semi-finals, he sat down leisurely.


    Kong Feichen and Yang Jing exchanged glances, greeting Qing Nu in unison.


    ¡°Sister, we¡¯ll go up first.¡±


    At the referee¡¯s beckon, they stepped onto the specially strengthened and widened arena.


    ¡°The rules are the same as before.¡±


    Having said that, the referee leaped off the stage, leaving it to the two contenders.


    Kong Feichen was still mulling over how Qing Nu and Chen Mobai got to know each other, and what their relation was.


    Distracted, he started to activate a ¡°Big Wind Talisman¡±.


    According to the plan they came up with earlier, Yang Jing would throw in the towel.


    They knew they couldn¡¯t keep this from Crimson Robe and the representatives of the Daoist Academy, so they decided to be upfront about it.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He would release a talisman to blow Yang Jing off the stage.


    The ¡°Big Wind Talisman¡± was activated, causing a whirlwind of blue air stream to blast in front of Yang Jing. This gust blew her black gown and pants, enhancing her tall and long legs¡¯ silhouette and curves. She had to hold onto her wide-brimmed hat to prevent it from being blown away.


    Just as Kong Feichen was ready to see her step down, Yang Jing suddenly raised her head, waving off the approaching ¡°Big Wind Talisman¡± with her hand.


    ¡°What if I compete in the final?¡±


    She suddenly said something that caused Kong Feichen¡¯s eyes to widen with surprise..

 Chapter 123 - Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Sky Sea Thirteen Swords 1

    Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Sky Sea Thirteen Swords 1


    Translator: 549690339       ¡ª


    ¡°Are you serious?¡±


    Kong Feichen found it hard to accept, his brows furrowed.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Yang Jing nodded slightly, without giving any explanation.


    ¡°You¡¯re not my match.¡±


    ¡°In our usual state you¡¯re right, but I¡¯m not so sure if I use the Twofold Divine Technique.¡±


    ¡°Is that necessary?¡±


    Yang Jing didn¡¯t respond to Kong Feichen¡¯s challenge, which angered Kong Feichen and made him clench his fist. Nevertheless, he managed to cool down in the end.


    ¡°I understand.¡±


    After saying that, Kong Feichen raised his hand, admitting defeat straightaway.


    There was an uproar among the spectators.


    The teacher in charge of judging the Cinnabarite Institute match immediately got on the stage to check if there was any hidden reason behind Kong Feichen¡¯s resignation, but Kong Feichen simply stated he didn¡¯t want to continue the fight.


    Although he was aware that there must be more to it, it was a difficult situation for the judge to handle especially when a student voluntarily admitted defeat in such a crucial competition as the semi-finals.


    He then turned to the Real Man in Red Robe for guidance.


    The responsibility lay with the top brass of the academy.


    ¡°Can I ask why you admitted defeat?¡±


    The Real Man in Red Robe seated in his position, his expression calm, his tone filled with a seriousness distinct from when he previously questioned Chen Mobai and Gong Xiangyu.


    ¡°If she had gone all out, my chances of winning would be slim. If we both ended up injuring each other, wouldn¡¯t that benefit the other participant during the finals?¡±


    Confronting the Real Man in the Gold Core, Kong Feichen met his gaze squarely, candidly stating his reason.


    ¡°Well, in that case, as you wish.¡±


    If it was his disciple or a descendant, the Real Man in the Red Robe would undoubtedly chastise them, but since it was an unrelated disciple, he simply nodded after querying, signaling the adjudicating teacher to announce the result.


    ¡°Since Kong Feichen has forfeited and admitted defeat, the winner is Yang Jing.¡±


    As soon as the result was announced, the hundreds of viewers who were crowding around the stage started to chat incessantly. Nearly 99% of them didn¡¯t believe in the reason given by Kong Feichen.


    ¡°Could it be due to love?¡±


    ¡°These two come from the same high school, both possessing Different Spiritual Roots, they might have fallen in love a long time ago.¡± ¡°This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to enter the four great Daoist Academies, which could change one¡¯s destiny. To give up for a woman is simply absurd!¡±


    Though many had regretful expressions, among the young students, there were quite a number who admired Kong Feichen¡¯s potential reason for forfeiting, due to love.


    ¡°Old Chen, if you were in Kong Feichen¡¯s position right now, and your opponent was Qing Nu, what would you do?¡±


    Suddenly, Lu Hongsheng couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°I will fight with all my might!¡±


    Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai spoke out his innermost thoughts.


    Entry into one of the four great Daoist Academies was like a chance to ascend to the heavens.


    Moreover, his relationship with Qjng Nu was purely platonic and didn¡¯t reach that level of intensity.


    Besides, there¡¯s still an abundance of time to explore romantic love.


    If one succeeds in Foundation Establishment, there will be more than two hundred years to look for a spouse. If one is lucky enough to reach Core Formation, even Nascent Soul, the lifespan would exceed a thousand years. Chen Mobai¡¯s dream was to complete his immortal cultivation and to take charge of the three main halls of the cultivation sect.


    I m beginning to doubt, did Qjng Nu actually chase after you?¡± Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s candid remark, Lu Hongsheng couldn¡¯t help but say a few words in admiration, which earned him an eye roll from Chen Mobai. He already said they were just friends.


    Chen Mobai saw that after descending from the stage, Kong Feichen and Yang


    Jing joined Qjng Nu. He wanted to ask what was going on.


    Didn¡¯t they agree to meet in the finals?


    Why did you break your promise?


    Who am I supposed to vent all my pent-up desire for victory on?


    ¡°Please welcome the two participants for the next round.¡±


    At that moment, the judging teacher on stage made the announcement. Chen


    Mobai had no choice but to suppress his doubts for now.


    Yan Feng made an impressive entrance as always, stepping lightly as if on air and basking in the cheers of the crowd as he landed in the center of the stage. Chen Mobai walked up, taking his time, each step consuming half a minute. After he had taken his position, Yan Feng frowned slightly. He had been all geared up, ready to defeat his lucky opponent in one go and showcase his undeniable supremacy in this Magic Duel.


    Yet, he had to wait for Chen Mobai, who dawdled, walking slowly for half a minute, which dissipated half of his morale.


    ¡°Please advise.¡±


    After Chen Mobai ascended the stage, he greeted with a bow, and out of respect, Yan Feng had no choice but to return the courtesy.


    ¡°Begin.¡±


    After the adjudicating teacher uttered that remark, he immediately withdrew from the stage.


    Whiz!


    Without uttering any words, Yan Feng raised his right hand and with two fingers bunched in a sword-fighting position, he unleashed a formidable Finger Sword technique towards Chen Mobai, despite the fact that he had lost half of his built-up momentum.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Water Elemental Shield responded instantly, forming a spiral wave of light that deflected the powerful Finger Sword which was aimed at him.


    A collision of magic spells.


    Bang!


    The crowd felt their eardrums vibrate slightly as though they had heard the sound of muffled thunder. The vortex of water Chen Mobai had formed failed to fully neutralize all the energy from Yan Feng¡¯s Finger Sword technique. Chen Mobai was then forced to cast the Wooden Shield charm once more.


    But the Wooden Shield, radiant in its aqua hue, could only hold up for a second before it shattered. In the end, Chen Mobai had to reconstitute the Water Elemental Shield. Deploying a three-layered defense, he finally fended off Yan Feng¡¯s first Finger Sword attack.


    ¡°Not bad, you are the first person in this Magic Duel who has blocked one of my sword strikes.¡±


    Retracting his Finger Sword, Yan Feng¡¯s unrevealed surprise managed to break through his icy countenance.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, your strength lies in that sword strike. As long as 1 can block this sword strike, no matter how many more you throw at me, be it ten, hundred or thousand, their power can¡¯t surpass this first strike.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, a charm was held between his fingers, and six Spirit Qi Long Arrows shot out like bullets from a gun barrel, aiming at Yan Feng¡¯s head chest, and four limbs.


    ¡°Hehl¡±


    Yan Feng sneered and raised his right hand Finger Sword to intercept the six


    Spirit Qi Long Arrows flying towards him.


    Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!


    With six explosions, the Green Arrow Talisman was easily broken by his single Finger Sword, exploding into a sky full of spiritual light and dissipating over the stage.


    There¡¯s no need for you to probe. After reaching Qi Cultivation Level 7,1 started focusing on the ¡®Thirteen Swords of the Sky Sea¡¯.¡±


    ¡°This sword technique, starting from Qi Cultivation Level 7, each level allows one to condense a Sword Qi. I¡¯m currently at Qi Cultivation Level 9 but have condensed four Sword Qis.¡±


    What you¡¯ve just blocked was my first sword strike. There are three more to come. If you can block all of them, I will admit defeat.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    With that, Yan Feng raised his right hand, index and middle fingers together again, revealing a sword charm at his fingertips.


    Chen Mobai was unable to identify the charm, as nobody in the previous six rounds had been able to force Yan Feng to make a second move, let alone use a charm, so there was no information at all.


    Woosh!


    The Sword Charm burned, and a dim radiance lit up at the tip of Yan Feng¡¯s fingers, transforming into a half-meter long, arm-thick Sword Qi at the blink of an eye.


    The second sword attack has been unleashed!

 Chapter 124 - Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Ice Knife_l

    Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Ice Knife_l


    Translator: 549690339


    When Yan Feng¡¯s second sword struck down, Chen Mobai felt an oppressive force far more potent than what he had previously experienced in the six rounds of the magical duel. It seemed like the air on the arena was cleaved apart by this strike.


    He could not take this sword strike head-on!


    His potent divine sense made him come to this judgment immediately.


    However, before each of Yan Feng¡¯s sword strikes, he would first lock onto Chen Mobai with his qi, forcing him into direct confrontation.


    ¡°I must first find a way to break this qi chain.¡±


    In the midst of these thoughts, Chen Mobai threw all of his remaining two rank-1 lower-grade talismans.


    At the same time, under his divine sense control, the dark water condensed into seven thin waves, emulating wings of cicadas.


    All the defensive power of Water Elemental Shield was concentrated by him onto the attack point of Yan Feng¡¯s sword.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The first three dark water waves couldn¡¯t withstand even for a moment. Upon contact with the Mengmeng Sword Qi emitted from Yan Feng¡¯s finger sword, they burst into a rain of water droplets.


    Whoosh!


    At that moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s Ice Breath was already fully brewed, and he breathed it out.


    With the ¡°crack¡± sound, the remaining four water waves were frozen into ice shields.


    But under the powerful impact of Yan Feng¡¯s second sword, two more ice shields were pierced, turning into fragments. Fortunately, the third ice shield managed to hold for a breath¡¯s time, followed by the last ice shield that lasted two seconds.


    Boom!


    Yan Feng finally broke through Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Water Elemental Shield¡± and ¡°Cold Ice Technique¡± conjured into the strongest seven-fold defense. The Mengmeng Sword Qi erupted from his fingertip had halved in size, leaving only about three centimeters in width and twenty centimeters in length.


    But he had already broken through all the obstacles and came in front of Chen Mobai. His right-hand double fingers were ready to strike, about to knock his opponent off the arena.


    ¡°Scatter!¡±


    At that moment, Chen Mobai yelled out and activated a simple talisman.


    The Quicksand Talisman!


    This rank-1 lower-grade talisman that could turn rocks into fine sand was used by immortal sects for creating ways through mountains.


    But when Chen Mobai used it here, he achieved an unexpected effect.


    Yan Feng¡¯s feet suddenly softened as the rocky stage under his feet instantly turned into a pit of sand, causing him to start sinking.


    But his eyes sharpened, disregarding everything, he even poured all the remaining power of his finger sword into a thrust aimed at Chen Mobai¡¯s chest.


    ¡°This guy is definitely in a different league compared to previous opponents.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed inwardly, and had no choice but to activate the ¡°Wood Armor Talisman¡±.


    This intermediate grade rank-1 defensive talisman transformed into a green light covering his whole body, barely blocking Yan Feng¡¯s finger sword, which already had been weakened seven times and was barely holding on.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Even so, Chen Mobai was forced to continually retreat by the powerful impact of this finger sword. His feet dragged out two marks on the arena. By the time he steadied himself, he was one step away from the edge of the arena.


    ¡°If the second sword forced me to use up all my defensive methods, aren¡¯t his third and fourth swords even more terrifying?¡±


    Chen Mobai let his thoughts run, pondering over the information about the cultivation techniques that Yan Feng had willingly revealed.


    If things were as Yan Feng had said, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand the fourth sword, and might even be knocked down from the arena by the third sword.


    But there was no fear in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart.


    The Sea Sword Qi, one can start training from the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, and by the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, one should only be able to cultivate three sword Qis.


    If Yan Feng deliberately mentioned he had cultivated four sword Qis, it could be a tactic to unnerve his opponents by bluffing about being at the Foundation Establishment level, causing them to hesitate and become timid during the magic duel.


    Of course, Yan Feng may be a rare genius who managed to cultivate four sword Qis at the Qi Cultivating Realm.


    But regardless, in the present moment, he could only assume he didn¡¯t have it.


    He could not fall into Yan Feng¡¯s rhythm, allowing him to wield his sword at will.


    He needed to pressure him into using the Sea Sword Qi, to observe any potential weaknesses from it.


    Chen Mobai finalized his battle tactics, his eyes narrowing as he breathed out, maximizing the power of his Cold Ice Technique.


    The hundreds of students watching from around the arena, those with lower cultivation levels suddenly unconsciously shivered.


    ¡°Strange, how has it suddenly become cold in this hot summer?¡±


    Lu Hongsheng scratched his head, using his spiritual power to drive away the chill from his body.


    Yan Bingxuan, who had been pulled by Mo Simin to stand with them after Chen Mobai¡¯s arrival at the stage, brightened her beautiful eyes at this moment.


    ¡°Even my Xuan Ice Change couldn¡¯t withstand his Sea Sword Qi, can your Cold Ice Technique achieve that?¡±


    Before this, Yan Bingxuan had always thought that her strength and that of Chen Mobai should be on par.


    But, as the magic duel progressed, she came to realize that, although both she and Chen Mobai were at the Qi Cultivation Realm¡¯s seventh layer, the gap between them was quite significant.


    What she couldn¡¯t do, Chen Mobai might be able to.


    With this Cold Ice Technique, which she had helped him to comprehend and cultivate!


    Whoosh!


    A long and chilling stream of Ice Breath wildly spurted out from Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth. The surrounding air temperature plummeted instantly, causing Lu Hongsheng¡¯s hair to stand on end and he couldn¡¯t help but sneeze.


    But everyone was so focused, their gaze towards the rainbow that had suddenly appeared above the arena was unwavering.


    The Dark Water, which was previously shattered into droplets and ice shards by Yan Feng, under the double enhancement of Chen Mobai¡¯s Water Controlling Technique and his Cold Ice Technique, turned into a gigantic semi-transparent ice knife. Under the sunlight, it emanated a seven-colored light.


    It was exceedingly dazzling and beautiful.


    Chen Mobai exerted 70% of his physical stamina¡¯s spiritual power, and used his strongest spell to form this three-meter long Rainbow Ice Knife, slashing heavily towards Yan Feng, who had been caught in quicksand because of the surge of his Sword Qi.


    Hum!


    Seeing this magnificent ice knife, Yan Feng didn¡¯t hesitate for a moment, and once again triggered a Sword Talisman. A clear Sword Sound echoed on the peak.


    A swing of the Finger Sword!


    A rumbling Sword Qi. Yan Feng, who had fallen into quicksand, his eyes were flickering with intense light. He rose like a sharp sword breaking through the sky, trying to escape the Rainbow Ice Knife¡¯s attack which was obviously slower and a bit clumsy, whilst simultaneously breaking free from the binding of quicksand.


    At this moment, another talisman, buried together with the Quicksand Talisman, was activated.


    Yan Feng who had just sprung out of the quicksand, his expression suddenly changed. Wooden columns rose rumblingly from the sand beneath him, forming a two-meter high wooden prison, tightly trapping him who intended to change direction.


    Bang!


    With a swift swipe of the Finger Sword, Yan Feng easily broke through this Wood Prison Talisman.


    But at the same time, the colossal Ice Knife had already fallen overhead. There was no time to dodge, he could only brace himself to withstand!


    Yan Feng hesitated for a moment. He didn¡¯t have any better solutions, so he could only reluctantly launch his third Sword Qi.


    Only to see that his right finger tip sparked a nearly two-meter long and double fists wide, giant Sword Qi, striking horizontally towards the Ice Knife that was slashing down from above.

    In the midst of the grating sound.


    The immense Ice Knife, under the impact of Yan Feng¡¯s third Sword Qi, had some small cracks before it shattered with a loud bang.


    ¡°Let¡¯s decide the outcome!¡±


    The silently chanting Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate, nor did he want to face the third sword head-on anymore, let alone consider the fourth sword he wasn¡¯t sure about!


    He drew out his final talisman!

 Chapter 125 - Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Heaven Heart Sword Talisman l

    Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Heaven Heart Sword Talisman l


    Translator: 549690339


    Yan Feng was the strongest opponent Chen Mobai had encountered in this magic duel so far.


    All his previous opponents had fallen at the first blow of his Sea Sword Qi.


    After learning about Yan Feng¡¯s powerful abilities from Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai entered this round without any delusions of fluke.


    He brought his strongest talisman.


    He clasped his hands together, then opened them. A long rectangular talisman, with a yellow base and red lines, floated above his palm.


    The Crimson Flame Tri-Sword Talisman!


    Three sword-shaped red patterns on the talisman appeared like a trident. After Chen Mobai injected his spiritual power into it, the talisman began to burn. One sword pattern leaped up from the talisman, transforming into a nearly two-meter, crimson flame longsword.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    Chen Mobai grasped at the air with his right hand, linking his divine sense with the flame longsword. Borrowing Yan Feng¡¯s sense of locking onto him, he locked onto his opponent in return!


    Boom!


    In the roaring sound of the Red Flame Sword Qi, a formidable aura was released that was no inferior to Yan Feng¡¯s Sea Sword Qi.


    Wherever it passed, the air was cut open, and the invisible burning airflow even cut open the stage, sweeping up dust. With dreadful might capable of incinerating everything, it slashed down in front of Yan Feng.


    ¡°Good, you¡¯re not bad.¡±


    Even the usually cold-faced Yan Feng broke into a wide grin.


    Facing the formidable Red Flame Sword Qi, he didn¡¯t dodge this time.


    The third Sea Sword, which had just shattered the ice blade, was festering like a spirit snake on his right fingertips. With his soaring fighting spirit, it lit up a vast, unprecedented mysterious glow.


    Boom!


    When the Red Flame Sword Qi and the third Sea Sword met, the two incompatible spiritual powers exploded into a huge shockwave upon contact.


    The audience under the stage only saw the red flame sword qi explode into blinding brilliance upon impact, then gradually dimmed as if being swallowed by the mysterious glow, ultimately dissipating into wisps of smoke, disappearing into thin air.


    ¡°It¡¯s over!¡±


    Indeed, Yan Feng was formidable. His third Sea Sword combined with the sword talisman had forcefully shattered the Red Flame Sword Qi in a head-on confrontation.


    Raising the third sword qi on his fingertips which only had fifty percent of its spiritual power remaining, he thrust it straight towards Chen Mobai who remained standing unmoving in place.


    ¡°Not good, Old Chen, quickly admit defeat!¡±


    Seeing this scene, Lu Hongsheng, who was under the platform, was so anxious that he was breaking out in cold sweats.


    Song Zheng, Mo Simin, Yan Bingxuan, and other classmates also looked worried.


    Boom!


    At this moment, the roaring sound of the Red Flame Sword Qi resonated once again.


    With a wave of Chen Mobai¡¯s hand, the sword pattern in the center of the talisman in front of him ignited and leapt up, forming another flame longsword, he slashed fiercely at Yan Feng who had arrived in front of him.


    Caught off guard,


    Yan Feng could only raise his right hand¡¯s sword finger to intercept the Red Flame Sword Qi that had come down on his face.


    ¡°It¡¯s not over yet!¡±


    Chen Mobai gripped with his other hand, and the last Red Flame Sword Qi also jumped out wrapped in flames. As he swung his wrist, he slashed fiercely at Yan Feng, whose sword finger was only left with a wisp of mysterious glow.


    ¡°I can¡¯t block it!¡±


    Yan Feng made a judgment the moment the third Red Flame Sword Qi appeared. His third Sea Sword Qi had less than ten percent of its spiritual power left.


    He needs time to use the fourth sword qi, this was the biggest dilemma he had encountered in the magic duel so far.


    Luckily, Yan Feng considered the possibility of encountering such a situation beforehand, so he equipped a defensive talisman.


    The very common ¡°Golden Light Talisman¡± lit up in his palm. After the third Sea Sword Qi was entirely worn down by the Red Flame Sword Qi, it perfectly blocked the Red Flame Sword Qi¡¯s attack for two seconds.


    Taking advantage of this brief period, he pulled out the last trump card of his talisman.


    The one that only has a sword wound drawn on it.


    But in the moment this talisman appeared, the always relaxed representatives of the Daoist Academy, including the nonchalant real person in red robes, all changed their expressions.


    ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman! I didn¡¯t expect him to possess a Heaven Heart Sword Talisman!¡±


    ¡°Using this talisman on a Qi practitioner is a waste!¡±


    ¡°Wasting natural resources!¡±


    White paper, black ink, and the brushstroke was as sharp as a sword!


    A hint of reluctance flashed across Yan Feng¡¯s face, but in the end, he steeled his heart, injected his spiritual power, and activated this ungraded ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡±.


    Although he is a prodigy and the three Sword Qi of ¡°Thirteen Sea Swords¡± Qi cultivation chapter have already reached perfection, to cultivate the fourth Sword Qi, he must reach the Foundation Building Realm.


    However, there are countless miracles and strange methods in the sects. Some talismans and magic artifacts allow practitioners to use the power of the upper layer.


    This ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡± is one of them.


    A thousand years ago, two Rank-4 Talisman Makers from the Heavenly Book Academy and the Mountain and Sea Academy created this talisman together.


    And classified it as ¡°ungraded¡±.


    Because any cultivator can use the ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡±, and it automatically matches the user¡¯s cultivation level to unleash an even more powerful force.


    If Yan Feng, who is at the ninth level of Qi cultivation, uses this Heaven Heart Sword Talisman, he could slash out sword qi at the Foundation Building level for a short period of time!


    Similarly, if a cultivator at the perfection of Foundation Establishment uses this talisman, it can also unleash powerful sword qi at the Gold Core level.


    However, there is a limit to this talisman, and it can only unleash the power at the Gold Core level at most.


    Because the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman can bring out the power from the Qi cultivation to the Gold Core across the three realms according to the user¡¯s cultivation level, it is an ungraded talisman.


    It¡¯s unbelievable that Yan Feng used this talisman for this magic duel. The representatives of the Daoist Academy felt that it was utterly unnecessary.


    There was no need at all.


    The method to refine the ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡± is passed down in the two academies, but after the two founders passed away, no new ones have been made.


    There are probably less than twenty of them circulating in the sects.


    Extremely precious.


    While the representatives from the Daoist Academy were regretting, Chen Mobai, who was on the stage, was facing the sword talisman directly and feeling an unprecedented pressure.


    It seemed there was a fierce sword qi enough to tear him apart brewing from the sword talisman at Yan Feng¡¯s fingertips.


    He didn¡¯t know the origin of this talisman, nor did he think about it. He just urged the talisman he could use to its limit!


    He bit his finger and, following the method Wang Yuanwu had taught him, mixed a drop of essence blood with all his remaining spiritual power and injected it into the talisman floating in front of him.


    ¡°Three Red Flame Swords, Purple Sun Sword Array!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense erupted completely, and the Red Flame Sword Talisman, having unleashed its three sword qi, absorbed his essence blood and spiritual power. It started to produce a strong suction force, drawing back all three Red Flame Sword Qi defeated by Yan Feng.


    In the blink of an eye, this talisman started to burn with roaring flames.


    The flames first turned a deep red, then deepened further, eventually transforming into a faint purple flame.


    This faint purple flame seemed to be of extremely high temperature. The moment it appeared, it completely consumed the talisman.


    A streak of purple flame emerged, seeming like a slender strip held between his hands..

    Translator: 549690339


    Veins throbbed on Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead, his hands trembling.


    He had never imagined that after unleashing the full power of this talisman, it would be so hard to control.


    If not for his diligent practice of the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡± recently, which had enhanced his Divine Sense, he would have lost control over this Purple Blaze Sword Aura long ago.


    Despite this, he could still feel a sense of agitation and violent energy emanating from the purple flame, which was leaping and burning between his fingertips like a conscious being itself, constantly surging, trying to break free from his divine sense control.


    ¡°It¡¯s over, once I wield this sword, you are doomed to lose!¡±


    At this moment, Yan Feng also completed his fourth sword.


    The ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡± in his fingertip turned into a sky-shattering gloomy aura about five or six meters long. Carrying a terrifying pressure of stagnating airflow, it slashed towards Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Perfect, my Purple Flame Tri-Sword Talisman is also ready.¡±


    Chen Mobai shouted inwardly, it was perfect timing. A dazzling flame of purple color sprung up from his fingertips in an instant.


    He let go of his control over the Purple Blaze Sword Aura with both hands and struggled to guide the flame with his divine sense to face the Sea Sword Qi slashing towards him from Yan Feng.


    One purple light, one gloomy aura!


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, the two Sword Auras collided. After a moment of silence, they exploded, sending out a shockwave after shockwave in expanding circles, spreading in all directions from the arena.


    Everywhere the shockwaves went, the rocks in the arena cracked open, the air burned, and the gravel was crushed into dust.


    In the midst of the startled cries, just when the nearest hundreds of spectators were about to be affected, several figures suddenly descended, waving their hands and forming a giant cubic light shield that closed off the area.


    It was the student council members from the Cinnabarite Institute who had been on standby. Under the leadership of the familiar student council president, they restricted all the aftermath of the Sword Qi collision to the arena.


    But it made things tough for Chen Mobai and Yan Feng.


    At this point, both felt they were losing control over their own Sword Auras and could only passively supply their inner spiritual and vital energies as the power source for the rapidly ascending Sword Qi.


    Because of his lower Realm level, Chen Mobai had been merely waiting for the outcome after releasing the control on the Purple Blaze Sword Aura.


    The moment this Purple Blaze Sword Aura was cast, he could only leave it to fate.


    Because he had run out of all spiritual power inside his body, as it had all been injected into the Sword Qi.


    On the other hand, Yan Feng still had half of his spiritual power left. He felt that once his ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡± was out, the fourth Sea Sword could completely crush Chen Mobai and secure victory.


    But the development of the situation was completely unexpected.


    The fourth sword he forcibly launched with the ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡± was actually suppressed by the Purple Blaze Sword Qi in the first instance.


    Yan Feng could not accept it, his face turning red as he burst out with all the remaining spiritual power in his body, increasing the power of his fourth sword.


    The power of the ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡± depends on the user, and can be ascended up to Rank-3 at most.


    Yan Feng, being at the ninth level of Qi cultivation, had already shown great rarity by using this valuable talisman to launch a Foundation Establishment level Sea Sword Qi across a large Realm boundary, even if draining his entire Dantian could only increase it a little bit.


    However, charging it with the remaining half of his spiritual power balanced the power of the two Sword Auras.


    ¡°Damn it, just a little bit more, if I had a little more spiritual power, I could overpower this Purple Fire Sword Aura.¡±


    At this point, Yan Feng began to regret using the Flying Talisman earlier which had wasted his spiritual power.


    In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the two Sword Auras clashed and exploded, the shockwaves pushing him backward.


    ¡°I have to hang in there.¡±


    Yan Feng planted his feet firmly, hoping to stay on the stage.


    Across him, Chen Mobai looked equally pale, retreating step by step under the impact of the Sword Aura¡¯s aftermath.


    It was a matter of who would leave the stage first.


    ¡°I¡¯m at the center of the arena, I have more room to fall back, I can win.¡±


    Yan Feng¡¯s divine sense circulated, calculating the distance between him and Chen Mobai, and his eyes suddenly lit up.


    Just as he saw a glimmer of hope, Chen Mobai grinned at him and immediately dropped to the ground. In this position, his fallback speed slowed down.


    Yan Feng was taken aback, but he sneered and did the same, dropping to the ground.


    ¡°I can give up in the face of victory.¡±


    Whispering to himself, Yan Feng gripped onto the stage with both his hands and feet, step by step, he was pushed off the stage by the Sword Aura¡¯s aftermath.


    But his eyes were filled with excitement, for he knew Chen Mobai would definitely leave the stage before him.


    Almost five minutes later, the power of the two Sword Auras finally died down. Yan Feng managed to get himself up, wanting to embrace his victory.


    But he realized that Chen Mobai was not beneath the stage.


    Moreover, the spectators looked at him with pity.


    ¡°Where is he?¡±


    Yan Feng looked around, his hoarse voice questioning the adjudicating teacher who stepped onto the stage. He found no sign of Chen Mobai on or below the stage.


    ¡°Over here.¡±


    The adjudicating teacher walked to a pit on the stage, extending a hand to pull out Chen Mobai who was trapped in quicksand.


    The latter had completely run out of strength and after being pulled out, he lay on the stage, gasping for breath.


    ¡°The winner, Chen Mobai!¡±


    Upon hearing these six words, Yan Feng stood stupefied under the arena.


    Looking at his opponent lying on the stage, he felt a sense of regret for the first time.


    He should have been the winner.


    He had even used the ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡± passed down from his ancestors¡­


    Chen Mobai did not understand his opponent¡¯s emotions, for joy and satisfaction had already filled his chest.


    He had won!


    Indeed, he, a cultivator honed in life-and-death battles, participating in this child¡¯s play-like magic duel, managed to win the end, even though his Realm was lower.


    It was with this belief, that Chen Mobai, even when facing Yan Feng¡¯s ¡°Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡±, didn¡¯t lose his sanity, but calmly sought everything he could use to find the light of victory.


    He had accurately seized control of the pit he had created earlier using the Quicksand Talisman.


    [If someone interviews me later, I¡¯ll say this was a tactical plan I had laid earlier, Yan Feng¡¯s all actions were within my calculations¡­]

    While thinking this, Chen Mobai suddenly felt his body being lifted up.


    He struggled to turn his head and found he was being lifted by Lu Hongsheng and his classmates, all celebrating wildly.


    [Really now, this is just the semi-finals, the championship has not yet been won.]


    Chen Mobai rolled his eyes at his classmates¡¯ premature celebration after the semi-finals.


    But he was completely drained, and he could only let them lift him..

    Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Reason_l


    Translator: 549690339


    At dusk, Chen Mobai woke up from a deep sleep.


    He was lying on his bed in his cave dwelling, enjoying the rest he hadn¡¯t had in a long time, and mustered the energy to sit up.


    Today¡¯s two duels, because of Kong Feichen¡¯s direct withdrawal in the first round, led to Chen Mobai and Yan Feng going on stage ahead of time.


    However, both of them were quick fighters. Their duel lasted less than fifteen minutes, and the winner was decided within four slashes of their swords.


    After the magical duel, even though Chen Mobai was more exhausted and Yan Feng could still stand, the latter left the platform. The ultimate victory belonged to the former.


    While he was being lifted up by the students of his academy in a wild celebration, Ning Anning smiled and came over to help him adjust his qi and meridians, also asking if he was interested in studying at the Imperial Medical Academy.


    Chen Mobai did not know how to respond and passed out due to the fatigue of his body.


    When he woke up, it was now.


    He wasn¡¯t sure who had brought him back to his cave dwelling.


    Chen Mobai turned his head and picked up his mobile phone on the edge of his bed, discovering that there were dozens of missed calls and hundreds of unread messages.


    He glanced at them, first called his parents back, then sent a group text message to the relatives who saw his match on TV.


    He said he would work hard for the upcoming finals, so he wouldn¡¯t be able to return their calls.


    Finally, Chen Mobai read the text from Qing Nu and naturally dialed her number.


    ¡°Hello.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your concern, I¡¯m fine.¡±


    The familiar clear voice sounded, and Chen Mobai responded gently.


    ¡°Are you free right now?¡±


    Qing Nu suddenly asked, Chen Mobai was a bit confused, but still nodded.


    ¡°I am in my own cave dwelling, are you still at the Cinnabarite Institute?¡±


    ¡°Yes, which dormitory building are you in? I¡¯ll come to find you.¡±


    Chen Mobai put down his phone and sent his location to Qing Nu.


    After a while, there was a knock on the door.


    Upon opening the door, Qing Nu, disguised with a mask and cap, smiled and waved at him.


    ¡°Congratulations on making it to the finals.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai paused, then asked another question.


    ¡°Are you coming in for a while? Or shall we go out for a walk?¡±


    ¡°I think I¡¯ll come in and sit down. After all, you¡¯re still quite weak.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not completely agree with this statement, but sensing the unprecedented emptiness in his Qi Sea, he reluctantly opened the door to let Qing Nu in.


    ¡°Here, you haven¡¯t eaten yet, have you? This is the dinner I brought for you.¡±


    As Qing Nu entered, she put two boxes of small buns she carried in her hand on the table inside the cave dwelling.


    Chen Mobai was indeed a little hungry and didn¡¯t hesitate to dig in.


    ¡°Speak, what are you here for?¡±


    ¡°I was with Little Dust and Little Scenery earlier, trying to persuade Little Scenery to withdraw from the finals.¡±


    ¡°What!¡±


    Chen Mobai, who was enjoying his meal, choked on this sentence and sprayed out.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? I¡¯m looking forward to winning the championship under the watchful eyes of the public, aren¡¯t I?¡±


    Even though he had exhausted the biggest card, the Burning Flame Triple Sword Talisman, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing were both students from a Taoist public high school. They were unlike Yan Feng who was from an old and wealthy family and could not have such an overwhelming item like the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman.


    In a normal battle, Chen Mobai felt that he had a 51% chance of defeating Kong Feichen. Against Yang Jing, not taking into account the unknown Forbidden Technique, he should have a 65% chance of winning.


    ¡°Your battle with Yan Feng was too fierce. Even if you could recover your spiritual power in three days, you wouldn¡¯t be able to compensate for the loss of your qi, blood, and essence.¡±


    Qing Nu was an alchemist. Medicine and alchemy go hand in hand. She was well-aware of Chen Mobai¡¯s physical condition.


    ¡°Even so, I should be able to beat Yang Jing.¡±


    Chen Mobai said calmly, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Qing Nu with a puzzled look.


    What was her relationship with Kong Feichen and Yang Jing?


    The latter two seemed to call her ¡°sister¡±?


    Even if she was their sister, why could she make them give up the chance to enter the Taoist Academy?


    Moreover, the relationship between Kong Feichen and Yang Jing seemed abnormal. Under these circumstances, how could they simply concede defeat because of the latter¡¯s caprice, giving up the opportunity to ascend to heaven? There were too many doubts in his heart.


    Chen Mobai did not ask.


    He trusted Qing Nu.


    So he waited for Qing Nu to reveal it herself.


    ¡°We grew up in the same orphanage. I am older than both of them so they call me sister.¡±


    ¡°They were adopted by two cultivator families in Red Sandstone City that could not have children. But we always kept in touch. We three are not actual siblings, but we are closer than actual ones.¡±


    ¡°So, when Yang Jing decided to go to the finals, Kong Feichen agreed because it¡¯s the first time that Yang Jing had a say in something in many years.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai widened his eyes in disbelief.


    ¡°What kind of orphanage could take in two Different Spiritual Root children, and you, a Heavenly Spiritual Root child!¡±


    Qing Nu did not hide anything. It was an orphanage established by the official Taoist sect in Red Sandstone City, located in the eastern part of the city.


    Chen Mobai looked it up on the map, and it was indeed there.


    ¡°Perhaps it was a coincidence. All three of us have good Spiritual Root Talents.¡±


    As for Qing Nu¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai could only take it as it was for now.


    ¡°Later, the family that adopted Yang Jing, after learning about her Dark Spiritual Root, found a Forbidden Technique for her to cultivate. At the age of 14, this matter was discovered by law enforcement. Her adoptive parents were incarcerated.¡±


    ¡°As Yang Jing was also a victim, and because she had already mastered the Forbidden Technique and could no longer abandon it, the Taoist sect allowed her to return to society after conferring her as a magical cultivator, to go to school and grow up.¡±


    ¡°But Forbidden Techniques are still Forbidden Techniques. To prevent her from being possessed in the future, the law enforcement department of the Taoist sect put an electronic bracelet on her wrist. Apart from monitoring her mental status, it also tracks her location at all times.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned. He felt that things probably weren¡¯t so simple.


    ¡°So why did you try to persuade her to forfeit the finals?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qing Nu lifted her slender and smooth fingers, breaking them one by one to list the reasons.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Firstly, your strength is too strong. If Little Scenery wants to beat you, she will definitely have to use the Forbidden Technique. But every time she uses her Twofold Divine Technique, it brings her a step closer to death. I don¡¯t want her to use it.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, after she started cultivating the Forbidden Technique, the best place for her to go is the Imperial Medical Academy. I and Little Dust hope that she can study medicine, hopefully to find a way to stop cultivating the Forbidden Technique. The reason why I chose the Jumang Daoist Academy is because I want to find a cure for her from medicine. With Little Scenery¡¯s current results, as long as she is willing, it¡¯s absolutely not a problem to go to the Imperial Medical Academy. There¡¯s really no need for her to have a fierce battle with you.¡±


    ¡°Thirdly, which is also the last reason.¡±


    At this point, Qing Nu raised her head and looked straight into Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°I hope that you can go to the Academy!¡±

 Chapter 128 - Chapter 128: Chapter 128_1

    Chapter 128: Chapter 128_1


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°I would also like to go, but I am short of points.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    Although he could possibly win first place in the Magic Duel, if the four major Daoist Academies didn¡¯t want to accept him, they could completely reject him by setting a points threshold.


    At this moment, all he could do was to perform to the best of his ability in the Magic Duel.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, with your outstanding performance, the four Daoist Academies would definitely be willing to lower their points threshold to accept you,¡± said Qing Nu.


    Her words gave Chen Mobai a slight confidence boost.


    ¡°I have done all I can; the rest is up to fate. Even if I can¡¯t enter the four Daoist Academies, it¡¯s not impossible for me to ascend to become an Immortal if I go to Pure Yang Academy or Primordial Elemental Academy.¡±


    The ultimate goal of all cultivators on the planet Earth Element Star is to Ascend to Immortality.


    In front of Qing Nu, Chen Mobai allowed himself to express his desires for reaching the pinnacle of Cultivation realm.


    ¡°If your goal is to ascend to Immortality, then you should start cultivating the Original Soul Technique.¡±


    After hearing this, Qing Nu began giving serious advice to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Oh? Why is that? Isn¡¯t it said that of the 84,000 Daoist scriptures in the Immortal Cultivation path, in the end, all lead to the seven Original Soul Cultivation Techniques?¡±


    Chen Mobai found it strange. In his impression, the Cultivation Technique pyramid of the Immortal Path should allow anyone from the base of the pyramid to reach the pinnacle in the end.


    ¡°I heard this from my teacher. The Cultivation Techniques in the National Library are based on the seven Original Soul Techniques, but they have essentially become the paths that the talented individuals have carved out for themselves.¡±


    ¡°If you want to return to the original path of Ascendancy, after Nascent Soul Formation, you need to spend some time transitioning to an Original Soul Cultivation Technique. If they share the same origin, at most, it would be a waste of a few decades. But if their origins are too different, then you can only carve out your own Path to Immortality or ponder upon the Jade Purity Scripture, which is very difficult.¡±


    ¡°But if you are confident in yourself and resolutely practice the Elemental Soul Technique from the beginning, at the very least, you can save several decades to ponder on the Elemental Soul Technique after Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    After listening to Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai carefully thought about it, and indeed, it was as she said.


    If he aimed to Ascend from the beginning and solidly laid his foundations with this goal throughout his Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul periods, then indeed he could be more confident during the final step of condensing his Elemental Soul.


    If that was the case, then the reason ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± and ¡°Jade Purity Scripture¡± had been recommended out of the 30 Cultivation Techniques for Chen Mobai by the artificial spiritual being in the National Library was probably because they were aimed at helping him Ascend.


    [My Spiritual Root Talents are average, so these two are the most suitable Elemental Soul Techniques for me.]


    Chen Mobai suddenly realized.


    Of the seven Elemental Soul Techniques in the Immortal path, the other five had extremely strict prerequisites, not even Heavenly Spiritual Roots could necessarily meet.


    In theory, the Pure Yang Scroll should also be like this, only those with Pure Yang Daoist bodies could cultivate it. However, after Elder Yuan Yang risked his life to test the technique and succeed in forming the Elemental Soul, he created a post-natal cultivation method for the Pure Yang Daoist body, allowing all living beings to adopt the Pure Yang Daoist body, an achievement of immeasurable merit.


    ¡°If you are going to Jumang Dao Academy, you will certainly cultivate the Lasting Spring Cultivation. It¡¯s said that after cultivating it, you will remain forever young. It¡¯s truly a great fit for you girls,¡± Chen Mobai commented, thinking about Ascendancy, as they were within his cave dwelling.


    She removed her mask and hat, exposing her stunningly beautiful face, which time should never erode.


    ¡°This may not be feasible. Lasting Spring Cultivation is an Ascendancy Technique that only those with Earth, Water and Wood Heavenly Spiritual Roots can cultivate. I only have a Heavenly Water Spiritual Root. I fear I can only attempt it after Nascent Soul Formation,¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head, revealing a truth that greatly surprised Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Earth, Water and Wood Heavenly Spiritual Roots all needed for Cultivation?! Where can we find such a person among Immortal cultivators?¡±


    ¡°None are born with it, but we can cultivate it after birth. The techniques in our sect to promote and purify the Spiritual Root were originally created by those with great power, who wanted to cultivate immensely demanding techniques such as Lasting Spring Cultivation.¡±


    Having heard what Qing Nu said and having thought about his own Spiritual Root Attributes, Chen Mobai was left speechless.


    He had thought that since Qing Nu started with Heavenly Spiritual Root, she had already reached the peak at the start. He hadn¡¯t expected that even she couldn¡¯t cultivate the Lasting Spring Cultivation.


    If he wanted to Ascend with his slightly above-average Spiritual Root, he might really be left with the choice to cultivate only ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± or ¡°Jade Purity Scripture¡±.


    Of course, Chen Mobai could also choose to first cultivate a more common technique, such as the Five Elements Cultivation.


    This fundamental Immortal Cultivation Technique can be cultivated until the first layer of Nascent Soul Formation.


    At that point, he could then switch to ¡°Jade Purity Scripture¡± and ponder the method of Ascendancy.


    But during the 6,800 years of immortal cult legend, only one person has managed to form an Elemental Soul through ¡°Jade Purity Scripture¡± cultivation, and that person was regarded as the most dazzling figure in the history of Earth Element Star.


    Although Chen Mobai was confident in himself, he decided not to challenge this difficulty after all.


    He would take the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± route honestly, since this path has already been paved by Elder Yuan Yang. All the difficulties were a matter of Spirit Stones and resources.


    For other Immortal Cultivators, simply cultivating the Pure Yang Body postnatally would consume half of their lifespan, and those who could reach the threshold of Ascendancy could be counted on one hand.


    However, for Chen Mobai, he only needs to have the support of Tianhe Realm. He only needs to strive harder and earning the Spirit Stones required for cultivating Pure Yang Body wouldn¡¯t be a problem.


    With the resources of the Tianhe Realm, he could cultivate the techniques of the Immortal Path.


    Maybe then, he really might have a chance to catch a glimpse of the realm of Ascendancy.


    Thinking this way, Chen Mobai felt it didn¡¯t matter whether he goes to four major Daoist Academies or not.


    ¡°I¡¯ve made my decision!¡±


    Qing Nu, who was getting ready to say her goodbyes and leave, suddenly heard Chen Mobai speaking solemnly. She was a bit confused at first, but she soon reacted and guessed what he meant. Her pretty face turned red instantly, and she asked hesitantly.


    ¡°What have you decided?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to Pure Yang Academy.¡±


    ¡°Ah!¡±

    Qing Nu looked disappointed.


    Chen Mobai was puzzled at her reaction. Was it because he had given up the four major Daoist Academies that she was disappointed?


    ¡°I want to ascend to become Immortal, and among the seven major Ascendancy Techniques in the Immortal path, the Pure Yang Scroll is the most suitable for me. As I¡¯m planning to cultivate this technique, whether I go to four Daoist Academies doesn¡¯t really matter. After all, none knows the Pure Yang Scroll better than Pure Yang Academy, and it still has the strongest atmosphere since it was established by Elder Yuan Yang himself,¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation, Qing Nu¡¯s disappointment faded away. However, she said something that made him feel slightly uncomfortable.


    ¡°Do you know that Pure Yang Scroll and the Ascendancy Technique of Dance Tool Dao Academy share the same origin!¡±

 Chapter 129 - Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Battle Law Victory l

    Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Battle Law Victory l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai honestly didn¡¯t know this.


    ¡°The Cinnabarite Institute¡¯s ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ and ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ were passed down by Yun Ya, one of the five founders of the immortal sects,¡± Qing Nu began.


    ¡°As the story goes, Yun Ya was actually a Supreme Elder of the Dan Ding Sect, one of the original patriarchs, before coming to Earth. These two cultivation techniques were fundamental to his sect, and he practiced ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ himself and used it to ascend to become Immortal,¡± she continued.


    ¡°The ¡®Pure Yang Scroll,¡¯ due to the difficulty of finding those with the Pure Yang body required for its inheritance, was kept with him for a long time. It wasn¡¯t until thousands of years after he started to cultivate at the Immortal Gate that Yuan Yang was able to successfully practice it,¡± she finished.


    Qing Nu recounted these facts as if listing cherished family heirlooms, causing Chen Mobai to nod along in continued agreement.


    ¡°Where did you hear all this? How come I¡¯ve never heard it before?¡± he asked.


    ¡°I came across these facts posted by anonymous users on an online forum while I was killing time. I have a deep impression of them because they involve ancient Immortals,¡± she explained.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel at the depth of knowledge among internet users.


    ¡°Well, it looks like my first target should be the Dance Tool Daoist Academy,¡± he said.


    ¡°Indeed, the Dance Tool Daoist Academy has a low profile; ranked among the bottom four of the immortal gates, but in fact, its foundation is extraordinary. Chixia, one of our local real people in Red Sandstone City, is a graduate of the academy. Our local Cinnabarite and Danxia institutes can be considered its branches,¡± confirmed Qing Nu, nodding in agreement with Chen Mobai¡¯s choice.


    The two chatted some more before Chen Mobai noticed it was getting dark and went to see Qing Nu off.


    ¡°You go ahead, I can wait for my ride alone,¡± she said.


    They honored the parting at the school gate. Since the final would take place three days later, Qing Nu decided not to stay at a local hotel for three days, as it would be a waste of money and time.


    ¡°I have plenty of time,¡± Chen Mobai reassured, shaking his head. He watched Qing Nu board her vehicle and waved her off before heading back himself.


    When he returned to his dwelling-


    He decided to visit the national library first. He typed ¡°The Union of Differences¡± into the search bar!


    Immediately, he found hundreds of precise results.


    ¡®The Union of Differences,¡¯ ¡®Divisional Chapters of The Union of Differences,¡¯ ¡®Explanation of The Union of Differences,¡¯ ¡®Different Interpretations of The Union of Differences,¡¯ ¡®Solution to The Union of Differences,¡¯ ¡®Chapter Notes of The Union of Differences,¡¯ ¡®Chapter and Verse of The Union of Differences,¡¯ ¡®Miscellaneous Notes on The Union of Differences,¡¯¡­


    Chen Mobai clicked on the one with the most views, ¡®The Union of Differences.¡¯


    Unsurprisingly, it was the authentic script of the Way of God Transformation Technique.


    ¡®The Union of Differences: Using Heaven and Earth as the alchemical vessel, Yin and Yang as barriers, water and fire as the transformative mechanism, the Five Elements as aids, and metaphysical essence as the base of the elixir. Man and Heaven mix and blend, attracting the true Yang of Heaven to transform the Yin qi in the human body, ultimately refining Qi to become a God. This is compliant with nature¡¯s creation!¡¯


    The opening general outline sounded very profound. After comparing it with the Pure Yang Scroll, Chen Mobai realized that both were hyped up quite a bit.


    As for what Qing Nu had said about the two techniques originating from the same source, he couldn¡¯t see it with his current level of understanding.


    But the download points for ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ were as high as three hundred million, which left Chen Mobai quite surprised.


    He wanted to try downloading the initial part that dealt with Qi Cultivation, to see what special nuances it contained.


    However, he found out that ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ was only available in its entirety and not like ¡®The Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ which had individual chapters.


    ¡°That doesn¡¯t make sense. Does that mean I can only learn the fundamentals of ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ if I go to the Dance Tool Daoist Academy?¡± he pondered aloud.


    Understanding more and more, Chen Mobai logged out amidst his muttering, opened the other techniques with ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ in their titles, and glimpsed over the first couple of pages that could be previewed. It was all so confusing; he couldn¡¯t make sense of any of it.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai began to question whether he was lacking in comprehension.


    However, one of his best attributes was his self-awareness.


    If he couldn¡¯t understand it, then he wouldn¡¯t strain himself by trying to read it.


    After all, once he entered the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, the teachers there would surely teach him.


    Putting down his phone, Chen Mobai sat cross-legged on the bed to recover the spiritual power he had exhausted while using his Red Flame Three Sword Talisman.


    If he were to recover by meditating, it would take an entire day. Being a critical juncture, he couldn¡¯t afford to waste time.


    He took out a ¡°Resurrection Talisman¡± and slapped it onto his body.


    A Rank-1 superior talisman was indeed extraordinary.


    Chen Mobai soon felt his empty Dantian filling up, and his previously weak body gradually regained its strength. On the surface, he looked like he had completely recovered.


    However, on examining himself more closely using his Divine Sense, he noticed that his body was still slightly slower in responsiveness than when he was at his pinnacle state.


    This was because he used a drop of his essence when activating the Red Flame Three Sword Talisman, which resulted in a temporary drain in his Qi and essence.


    But this wasn¡¯t a major concern.


    During the treatment on the stage, Ning Anning had already provided a prescription, stating that two Blood-boosting Talisman and Qi-boosting Talisman would make a quick recovery.


    Cinnabarite Institute was known for its talisman cultivation and was the largest talisman supplier in Red Sandstone City. Nearly all students cultivated talismans unless they were extremely specialized ones.


    The next day, Chen Mobai asked Chan Si for help.


    Once he heard the request, Chan Si, in no time, used his connections and found seniors who specialized in Blood-boosting and Qi-boosting Talismans to buy the needed two talismans and, along with Shen Juanxiu, personally handed them to Chen Mobai.


    After expressing gratitude, Chen Mobai retreated to his cave dwelling to focus on restoring his Qi and blood.


    Through a nearly month-long magic duel, his spiritual power had markedly improved. However, compared to his Qi Cultivating Realm, his growth in Divine Sense was truly astonishing.


    Perhaps it was because of the happiness and satisfaction he had gained during this period, or maybe it was because his profound foundation made him particularly suited for the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique.¡± But on the eve of the finals, during his quiet meditation, he was actually able to form another green sprout through his contemplation.


    Because this progress had no levels to measure against, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t clearly comprehend his Divine Sense¡¯s current realm.


    But he could feel that grasping spiritual power and refining Qi-replenishing Spirit Water was much easier for him now.


    Time flew by like a river.


    Soon it was the day of the finals.


    Chen Mobai and Yang Jing stood on the stage, greeting each other with a nod.


    ¡°Begin!¡±


    After the referee teacher left the stage, neither of them made the first move immediately.


    ¡°My sister won¡¯t let me use the Twofold Divine Technique. I¡¯m sure I won¡¯t be able to withstand your Purple Flame Talisman if I do,¡± Yang Jing suddenly said.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment after hearing this. He had also done some research on the Twofold Divine Technique, but to his dismay, his main account, Blue Emperor, didn¡¯t have enough access rights, and he couldn¡¯t find any related information.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you are Qing Nu¡¯s sister, and we don¡¯t need to fight to the death. How about we just use spells to fight, no talismans, and you don¡¯t use forbidden techniques?¡± he suggested.


    Even though Chen Mobai only had one Red Flame Three Sword Talisman left, he managed to defeat each opponent and advance to the finals, thanks to the perfect combination of spell and various talismans.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Without talismans, his strengths were greatly reduced.


    If it were anyone else, a pure spell duel between a seventh stage Qi Cultivator and a mismatched spiritual root ninth stage Qi Cultivator like Yang Jing would undoubtedly be a losing battle.


    But when Chen Mobai proposed this, everyone felt he was fair.


    ¡°This person is a natural talent in magic duels, swiftly defeating each opponent in under a minute. Overcoming stronger opponents has become his normal state, hence deserving the title ¡®Duel Law Victory¡¯,¡± Chixia, veiled in his red robe, suddenly commented from the audience stand.


    Hearing this, the representatives of the four major Daoist Academies felt a slight chill in their hearts..

 Chapter 130 - Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Persuasion_l

    Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Persuasion_l


    Translator: 549690339 1


    The representatives of the four Great Dao Academies fell silent.


    No one dared to respond.


    ¡°Yiqing, I¡¯ve heard that the enrollment situation at Dance Tool Dao Academy


    hasn¡¯t been ideal in the recent ten years.¡±


    With no one fueling the conversation, the Red Robed Daoist continued, being an alumnus and currently a listed teacher at Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    As his junior, Bian Yiqing could only respond with a bitter smile.


    ¡°Indeed, not only in the recent ten years, but if we go back to the past thirty years, the number of new students admitted to our Dance Tool Dao Academy has always been the lowest among the four academies.1¡®


    ¡°As a teacher of the academy, I am very concerned about this and have been pondering on how to improve the situation.


    ¡°Oh, what would be your wise suggestion?¡±


    Playing along quite well, the Red Robed Daoist, satisfied, glanced at Bian


    Yiqing and then pointed towards Chen Mobai and Yang Jing on the stage.


    ¡°In these two, if Yang Jing wins, her score would be sufficient to enter any of the four Great Dao Academies, do you think she would choose Dance Tool Dao


    Academy?¡±


    ¡°She probably wouldn¡¯t.¡±


    Bian Yiqing frowned and shook his head.


    The Dark Spirit Root is extremely rare and there are not many cultivation techniques suitable for it, but it just happens to be suited to cultivating one part of ¡°The Six Discipline Sutra¡±, as well as a secret technique derived from ¡°The Union of Differences¡±.


    But if Yang Jing wins the championship and can freely choose which of the four


    Great Dao Academies to enter, ninety percent would choose the Kunpeng


    Daoist Institute.


    ¡°What if Chen Mobai wins?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t the Daoist already ask him before? He said his first choice is Jumang Daoist Academy, and the second is the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    ¡°But he can¡¯t enter either of these two academies. Jumang already has a Heavenly Spiritual Root, and the Repairing Heaven values academic performance the most.¡±


    ¡°What advice does the Daoist have? I¡¯m all ears.


    The representatives of the Daoist Academy basically guessed the meaning of the Red Robed Daoist¡¯s words, but no one dared to expose it. As a junior, Bian Yiqing could only respond with a bitter smile.


    ¡°Strength lies in numbers. Although the Four Great Dao Academies have profound foundations, the lowest number of new students over the past thirty years would not affect the overall situation of Dance Tool Dao Academy. However, if we could slightly lower the admission criteria and recruit promising students like Chen Mobai, we might even net a Real Path Seed capable of influencing the future state of the immortal door.¡±


    The meaning of the Red Robed Daoist was clear. If Chen Mobai wins, the Dance Tool Dao Academy should lower the admission score slightly to accept this


    Magic Duel winner.


    ¡°Is¡­ the Daoist going to use his quota to admit him?


    Bian Yiqing asked cautiously. If the Red Robed Daoist were to use this privilege, not only him, but even the dean of Dance Tool Dao Academy would have to agree.


    ¡°Not exactly, even though I believe that this kid will undoubtedly become an extraordinary figure in the future, I¡¯m still somewhat reluctant to waste this quota on him.¡±


    The Red Robed Daoist shook his head, Bian Yiqing understood his meaning.


    He wanted to get Chen Mobai into Dance Tool Dao Academy while keeping his hands clean.


    ¡°I think the Daoist¡¯s words make sense, but I¡¯m afraid that if I set a precedent,


    it might affect the other cave heavens and blessed lands.¡±


    Bian Yiqing cautiously started.


    The four Great Dao Academies have an unspoken agreement. Although the immortal door requires them to be open to all, they still strictly implement high-standard entrance examinations to ensure that all of the students that enter the four academies are exceptionally talented Dao seedlings.


    If Bian Yiqing lowers the admission score for Dance Tool Dao Academy in Red Sandstone City, the students from the other cave heavens and blessed lands naturally could also demand their representatives to lower the threshold.


    Such a consequence was what Bian Yiqing could not bear.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the immortal Gate requesting you four to lower the threshold this year, so that at least one student from each cave heaven and blessed land is admitted? You could completely push the blame onto the three major halls of the Immortal Gate.¡±


    Bian Yiqing did not dare to accept the words of the Red Robed Daoist, not everyone dared to make the Immortal Gate take the blame.


    ¡°Let me ask for instructions.¡±


    In the end, Bian Yiqing was persuaded by the Red Robed Daoist.


    Originally, he had decided not to admit Chen Mobai even if he won the championship, but now for this matter, he immediately compiled the admission test situation of Red Sandstone City into a document on the spot and sent it to the current admissions director of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°I also think that the Daoist¡¯s words make sense. If Brother Bian feels troubled, why not leave this child to us at Kunpeng Daoist Institute?¡±


    Just then, Lan Haitian, who had been listening all along, suddenly spoke. His words shocked everyone.


    ¡°You¡­ what do you mean?¡±


    The representative of Repairing Heaven Institute was a little slow to react, wasn¡¯t it you who said it was a good excuse not to recruit a student?


    ¡°This kid and I have some destiny. Plus, his talent in Magic Duel is indeed outstanding. With some cultivation, he might become another me.


    Lan Haitian¡¯s words were of high praise.


    He was hailed as the number one Foundation Establishment person in immortal Gate. Although his probability of achieving Core Formation might not be as high as Yan Qiongzhi, in terms of Magic Duel alone, he was undoubtedly the strongest.


    If Chen Mobai could really display his invincible prowess in battle, it would indeed be an exception.


    After all, although the Immortal Gate is peaceful, there were wars to open up territories every once in a while. The talented Magic Duelist was absolutely indispensable to protect the students of the academy.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    The representative of Repairing Heaven Institute hesitated.


    Shang Qjng from Jumang Daoist Academy remained calm. She already had a Heavenly Spiritual Root and had no interest in Magic Duel talents.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s finally starting.¡±


    At this time, the representative of Pure Yang Academy broke the silence.


    On the stage, after Chen Mobai and Yang Jing agreed to duel using only spells, the final Magic Duel began.


    An Ice Breath spewed out.


    Chen Mobai waved his long sleeve, a splash of clear water droplets flew out, then froze into ice needles that covered Yang Jing¡¯s entire body like a shower of flowers, and like a horde of bullets.


    Thud thud thud!


    A clear sound of rain hitting banana leaves echoed, all the ice needles missed Yang Jing¡¯s body by a hair¡¯s breadth, outlining her figure on the stage behind her.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Chen Mobai was surprised, he was certain that his Divine Sense had aimed accurately, this kind of human body outline situation should not have occurred.


    At this moment, Yang Jing made her move too. Her right hand raised, a wisp of pitch-black smoke rose from her palm, turning into several small black knives, which shot towards Chen Mobai.


    Splash!


    The Water Elemental Shield reacted and blocked the four black knives.


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense suddenly fluctuated, a vein emerged on his forehead, and his face changed slightly as he moved to the right.


    ¡°Swish!¡±


    A black knife grazed his cheek, leaving a small wound from which blood seeped out.


    This was the first time Chen Mobai had been injured since he participated in the Magic Duel.


    ¡°Is it an illusion? Or did you manipulate the light?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Touching the wound on his cheek, Chen Mobai recalled the situation just now, if it were not for his breakthrough in Divine Sense, he might have already lost. However, Yang Jing didn¡¯t reply at all.


    She smirked, her right hand clenched, and a puff of black smoke was produced from her palm. It condensed into a pitch-black long sword, nearly two meters long and two fingers wide.


    In an instant, she seemed to stretch through half the stage and appeared right in front of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    When Chen Mobai noticed, the pitch-black long sword was already at his throat..

 Chapter 131 - Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Winning the Championship 1

    Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Winning the Championship 1


    Translator: 549690339                   r¡ª


    Just as Yang Jing¡¯s pitch-black longsword neared Chen Mobai¡¯s neck, a ripple of water spread out and instantly transformed into a massive water wall separating the two.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    The longsword plunged into the water wall, causing an explosive splash!


    ¡°All your methods, I¡¯ve seen through them in this seven-round magic duel. Other than your Purple Blaze Sword Aura talisman, I have ways to break everything else.¡±


    The pitch-black longsword spiraled and shattered the water wall, hurtling straight towards Chen Mobai¡¯s chest.


    Crack!


    But at that moment, the shattered water wall froze into ice spikes under the influence of Ice Breath, blocking all space between the two from all directions. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The sound of ice spikes being shattered by the pitch-black longsword resounded throughout the arena. Yang Jing, appearing like a bolt of black lightning, breached all obstructions and attacked Chen Mobai¡¯s right shoulder. Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense exploded in its entirety, tracking his opponent¡¯s movements, his right hand covered in dark water which rapidly froze into an Ice Claw, catching the pitch-black longsword that was aimed at his shoulder in the nick of time.


    However, at this moment, black smoke rose from Yang Jing¡¯s other hand and transformed into a short stick, striking straight at Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead.


    The Water Elemental Shield was activated again, blocking the black short stick from Chen Mobai¡¯s line of sight.


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense rippled again, veins bulging in his forehead, as he quickly expanded the range of the Water Elemental Shield to cover his entire upper body.


    A massive force hit him in the waist and sent him flying into the air.


    What I saw really was different from reality.¡±


    Chen Mobai replayed their brief one-minute encounter in his mind, seeking traces of Yang Jing¡¯s cultivation technique.


    Firstly, his vision would deviate at critical moments.


    Secondly, the black smoke should be a medium similar to Xuan Ice Change, freely shifting in form, possibly a specifically refined ¡°gas.¡±


    Finally, Chen Mobai sensed a greater source of spiritual power within her. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this moment, Yang Jing held her sword again, as the short stick in her hand morphed under her control into four black small daggers, aimed at Chen Mobai¡¯s chest.


    Her illusions cannot bewilder the divine sense.¡±


    Chen Mobai found some loopholes in Yang Jing¡¯s cultivation techniques, but he hadn¡¯t reached Foundation Establishment and hence could not leave his body through divine sense.


    ¡°Fortunately, my divine sense can accompany spiritual power into controllable spiritual bodies. Let¡¯s try this.¡±


    With a thought, Chen Mobai activated the Propulsion Technique, moving erratically.


    All the black daggers aimed at him missed.


    As expected, despite Yang Jing¡¯s ability to confuse his vision, she could only resort to close combat when faced with Chen Mobai¡¯s unpredictable movements.


    At that moment, Chen Mobai swung his hands and all the dark water under his divine sense control converted into slender spikes of ice that shot out in a large radius.


    ¡°It¡¯s useless, what you are seeing is not the real me.¡±


    Yang Jing¡¯s voice sounded three meters to the left from where Chen Mobai saw her. However, in the blink of an eye, she was already in front of him, wielding her pitch-black longsword.


    But just as she was about to strike, her eyes widened in surprise. Her body reacted as if harmed, retreating explosively in the opposite direction.


    Just a reminder, the same trick doesn¡¯t work on me.¡±


    Chen Mobai stood in the same spot, watching Yang Jing clutching her stomach wound with a light laugh.


    ¡°You can¡¯t possibly see my real body.¡±


    Yang Jing, her brow furrowed, pulled out the ice spike that had nearly gone through her abdomen.


    ¡°Do you know, the scariest on the battlefield are rookie gunmen because even they don¡¯t know where their bullets will end up.¡±


    ¡°Just now, even I didn¡¯t know where some of those ice spikes were going to end up.¡±


    ¡°Lucky strike, I managed to hit you once.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he covered the area on his waist where Yang Jing had struck him with a short stick. Although the Ice Armor had provided some protection, the force still made its way into his body, causing some pain.


    ¡°You won¡¯t have such luck next time.¡±


    Yang Jing raised her head and, all of a sudden, vanished from the dueling platform.


    Chen Mobai frowned slightly. The wide-range ice spike attack he had just used was extremely draining on his Spiritual Power. He could only use it two more times at most.


    However, luckily, after this probing attack, he had thought of a solution to break the illusions.


    ¡°Over here!¡±


    A Water Elemental Shield materialized in front of Chen Mobai¡¯s left side, blocking a pitch-black long sword that suddenly pierced out from the void.


    Yang Jing widened her eyes in disbelief, yet shortly after, she once again disappeared into the void.


    Swish!


    Chen Mobai turned his head to the right rear, the Water Elemental Shield moved to this side, blocking the pitch-black long sword yet again.


    Boom boom boom boom!


    Yang Jmg¡¯s silhouette appeared everywhere as if omnipresent, but every time she attacked, Chen Mobai predicted and blocked her attacks beforehand with the Water Elemental Shield.


    Drip!


    A droplet of sweat slid off Yang Jing¡¯s chin, landing on the dueling platform, making a faint noise. To her ears, however, it sounded like thunder.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is!¡±


    Looking up at Chen Mobai¡¯s surroundings, she finally noticed droplets of transparent water floating around him within a two-meter range, leaving no dead angle.


    Every time she attempted to attack, she had to approach Chen Mobai, but as soon as she came closer, she would touch the water droplets suspended in the air. Chen Mobai, who controlled these droplets, could then detect her moves.


    No wonder her clothes felt much wetter.


    Danger!


    But by the time Yang Jing realized, it was already too late.


    An intense chill burst from her body surface, soon followed by a layer of white frost covering her entire body.


    Chen Mobai raised his right hand, several dozen water droplets forming an icicle, guided by his Divine Sense, shot towards the now frozen Yang Jing¡¯s chest.


    ¡°I still have one last strike!¡±


    As the acute pain from her chest hit, in her completely frozen state, Yang Jing¡¯s eyes suddenly emitted an eerie glow, meeting Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze.


    Divine Sense Attack!


    Chen Mobai felt a severe headache.


    He didn¡¯t expect Yang Jing to perform a divine sense attack without reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. However, his diligent practice of the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique was now coming into play.


    As soon as a strand of Yang Jing¡¯s divine sense rushed into his sea of consciousness, it was blocked by the two budding leaves of his contemplation.


    Chen Mobai staggered slightly but quickly regained his balance.


    ¡°Why is his Divine Sense so steady? Could it be that he didn¡¯t practice with the Mind Incense?¡±

    It was the last thought that crossed Yang Jing¡¯s mind before she passed out due to the backlash of her Divine Sense attack.


    Slowly opening his eyes, Chen Mobai looked at the unconscious Yang Jing lying on the dueling platform with furrowed brows.


    A worthy opponent!


    At that moment, the referee, a teacher, stepped onto the stage. He first checked on the fallen Yang Jing, and then walked up to Chen Mobai, announcing the final result.


    Congratulations, you are the champion of the magic duel!¡±

    Even though Chen Mobai had predicted that he might come out victorious, truly accomplishing it still gave him an indescribable feeling.


    Satisfaction, excitement, happiness¡­


    All of those emotions welled up in him and ultimately took the form of a sense of accomplishment!


    ¡°Chen, you¡¯re awesome!¡±


    Below the stage, his classmates from the fifth high school gathered around, led by Lu Hongsheng. But this time, Chen Mobai was prepared and didn¡¯t let them lift him up.


    As his group of friends celebrated, Chen Mobai noticed his school¡¯s principal and another middle-aged cultivator, who didn¡¯t seem too pleased, approaching the man in the red robe. The other man was likely the principal of Yang Jing¡¯s school.


    After a while, Principal He Jingshan approached with a wide grin.


    ¡°Chen Mobai, you¡¯ve brought honor to our school this time.¡±


    ¡°I just did what I had to do.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha, I will hang a banner commemorating your victory in the Magic Duel at the school entrance.¡±


    Amidst He Jingshan¡¯s laughter, Chen Mobai felt somewhat embarrassed.


    It was too showy.


    At that moment, he noticed Kong Feichen and Qing Nu approaching the stage.


    The latter made eye contact with him and then picked up the unconscious Yang Jing.        B


    ¡°That¡¯s strange.¡±


    Nmg Anning, who had gone offstage at the end of the Magic Duel, had just finished his diagnosis and was frowning as he withdrew his two fingers from Yan Jing¡¯s wrist.


    ¡°Are you her family members?¡±


    He hesitated a bit, glancing at Kong Feichen and Qing Nu, unsure of how to proceed.


    ¡°Mr. Ning, if she is admitted to the Imperial Medical Academy, can her condition be cured?¡±


    Qing Nu, knowing Yang Jing¡¯s condition, nodded and asked the most crucial question.


    ¡°It¡¯s up to her.¡±


    After Ning Anning gave his diagnosis and instructed Qing Nu on dietary restrictions and recovery methods, he turned and walked toward Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Are you feeling alright?¡±


    ¡°No significant problems.¡±


    Even though Chen Mobai assured him, Ning Anning still took his pulse and checked his wounds, just to be safe.


    These are just superficial wounds, rest for a week and you¡¯ll be fine.¡± Once Ning Anning had confirmed his diagnosis, Chen Mobai followed He Jingshan to meet the man in the red robe.


    ¡°Congratulations.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, master.¡±


    ¡°As the top student in Red Sandstone City, it would reflect poorly on me if you don¡¯t get into one of the four major Daoist Academies. But unfortunately, there¡¯s no way for you to get into Jumang or Bu Tian. Would you be willing to change your aspirations for the sake of Kunpeng or Dance Tool, for my sake?¡± The man in the red robe was very straightforward; after congratulating Chen Mobai on his victory, he gave him a huge surprise.


    ¡°Absolutely willing!¡±


    The prospect of getting into any of the four major Daoist Academies had his family¡¯s ancestors turning in their graves with excitement, there was no room for Chen Mobai to be picky.


    However, he had not anticipated that two of the academies would actually be willing to admit him.


    ¡°Very well, then. Would you prefer Kunpeng Daoist Institute, or Dance Tool Dao Academy? Why not hear what the representatives from each Academy have to say first?¡±


    The man in the red robe pointed to Lan Haitian and Bian Yiqing standing beside him and handed over the stage to them.


    ¡°You¡¯ve demonstrated talent in Magic Duels, and the spells you used were primarily water attributed.¡±


    ¡°If you were to enter Kunpeng Daoist Institute, you could train in the art of Kun Essence, a supreme technique second only to the Six Imperial Scriptures.¡± ¡°Once you¡¯ve achieved Qi Cultivation Perfection, we still have some Kun Essence Blood in our institute. Consuming it in conjunction with the Kun Essence Technique could increase your chances of attaining Foundation Establishment by ten percent.¡±


    Lan Haitian set out his terms with a smile, which surprised Chen Mobai.


    To his mind, being able to enter a Daoist Academy was dignified enough! Did his performance truly stand out, garnering the attention of delegates from all four major Daoist Academies, or did Lan Haitian have other motives?


    ¡°In our Dance Tool Dao Academy, we also possess some spiritual objects that aid in Foundation Establishment. But, like the Kun Essence Blood, they need to be exchanged using academic points.¡±


    As soon as Bian Yiqing started speaking, he pointed out what Lan Haitian failed to mention in his proposition. Apparently, the Kun Essence Blood wasn¡¯t free, but needed to be exchanged using academic points.


    ¡°As for the cultivation techniques, due to my humble realm, I won¡¯t give you any guidance. If you join our academy, you can ask the Core Formation professors after school begins.¡±


    After saying this, Bian Yiqing glanced at the man in the red robe, indicating to Chen Mobai that he too was a teacher of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    However, Chen Mobai completely missed the meaning behind his glance. Right now, he was completely immersed in his joy, initially thinking that his score was insufficient and he couldn¡¯t get into his desired academy.


    But after his victory in the Magic Duel, his performance had impressed the representatives of two academies.


    Should he go to Kunpeng Daoist institute or Dance Tool Dao Academy?


    If it had been earlier, he would have definitely chosen Kunpeng Daoist institute, given its claim as the best among immortals and its highly-qualified teaching staff.


    But after his late-night conversation with Qing Nu, he understood his own pursuit.


    ¡°I want to go to Dance Tool Dao Academy!¡±


    Chen Mobai announced his choice without hesitation.


    His choice took Bian Yiqing by surprise.


    Given a choice between Kunpeng Daoist Institute and Dance Tool Dao


    Academy, most students would opt for Kunpeng.


    He didn¡¯t expect Chen Mobai to choose his academy, and that too with such firm conviction and without any hesitation.


    ¡°Oh, you won¡¯t reconsider? There¡¯s no hurry; after all, this decision will influence the rest of your life. We can give you a few days to think it over.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head at the man in red robe¡¯s suggestion.


    He had thoroughly thought this through!


    This was his path!


    His first choice was Dance Tool Dao Academy, followed by Pure Yang Academy.


    ¡°Very well, let¡¯s settle it then.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s determined gaze, the man in the red robe clapped his hands in joy. He then motioned for He Jingshan to retrieve Chen Mobai¡¯s previous application form and make necessary amendments.


    After the application was completed, he handed it over to Bian Yiqing.


    ¡± What a pity.¡±


    Lan Haitian sighed regretfully.


    ¡°May I ask why you didn¡¯t choose Kunpeng Daoist institute? Was it because of the misunderstanding between us earlier?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai shook his head.


    Actually, he didn¡¯t have any issues with Lan Haitian, but he obviously couldn¡¯t mention his plan to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll in public. In the end, he chose a suitable yet hasty reason.


    ¡°The reason I was able to cultivate my divine sense is because I listened to a piece by the Bian family, known as the ¡®Spring Festival Banquet¡¯. I can be considered as a half-disciple of the Bian family, and naturally, I would choose Dance Tool Dao academy under similar circumstances.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation, Bian Yiqing was at a loss for a moment.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Then, he looked at Chen Mobai more closely.


    Because he had performed all over the thirty-six heavenly caves and seventy-two blessed places with the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe, he had seen a vast number of audiences, and initially, he didn¡¯t recall Chen Mobai.


    But after hearing what Chen Mobai said, his memory of the event was clear as day, thanks to his Core Formation divine sense. After all, in these years, he had only performed once in Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°Good boy, respecting the masters and their teachings.¡±


    The man in the red robe nodded satisfactorily after hearing this..

 Chapter 133 - Chapter 133: Chapter 133 Green Mountain Village_l

    Chapter 133: Chapter 133 Green Mountain Village_l


    Translator: 549690339


    After returning home.


    Chen Mobai was tightly embraced by the emotionally overwhelmed and tearful


    Tang Panchui.


    Chen Xinglan was also back home, standing there with her eyes slightly red, watching the mother and son hugging each other.


    They initially wanted to go to the scene to cheer him on, but Chen Mobai, citing his potential distraction, asked them and even his aunt and uncle¡¯s family not to come.


    ¡°Brother, you¡¯re truly awesome!¡±


    His cousin Wang Xinying shrieked and dashed over, plunging into Chen


    Mobai¡¯s arms.


    Her family had been there early, watching the whole magic duel on the living room TV.


    After Chen Mobai won, they seemed to have celebrated thoroughly, the living room was strewn with all sorts of party decorations.


    ¡°Come here, my nephew, let me have a good look at you, I really didn¡¯t expect


    it!¡±


    Uncle Wang Jianyuan came over, patted Chen Mobai¡¯s head, a look of awe on his face.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget whose son he is.¡±


    Pride was written all over Chen Xinglan¡¯s face, and for once, the typically argumentative Wang Jianyuan didn¡¯t rebut.


    ¡°Your uncle will come over tomorrow evening, let¡¯s have a good celebration


    today.¡±


    The celebration went on for a full three days.


    After the family meal, Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui invited their neighbours and friends over.


    After all, getting admitted into one of the four Great Dao Academies was a rare event in Red Sandstone City.


    The last one who got admitted was Yu Tianguang in his red robe, who had now reached Core Formation.


    Whether Chen Mobai could reach Core Formation after entering the Dance Tool Dao Academy remains to be seen, but Foundation Establishment should not pose any problems.


    After all, the Foundation Establishment success rate of students from the four Great Dao Academies is as high as 8o7o.


    After celebrating at home, Chen Mobai was summoned back to school.


    Representing the fifth high school, he faced more than a dozen reporters, beneath the banner hanging at the school gate that read, ¡°Warmly Celebrate our student Chen Mobai being accepted into the Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡± He also posed for photos with He Jingshan and answered numerous questions. Initially, He Jingshan was worried that Chen Mobai, being young, would be overwhelmed facing such a large crowd.


    But Chen Mobai surprised him with his mature demeanour, answering reporters¡¯ questions skilfully, neither humble nor arrogant, displaying humility with intense self-confidence.


    Representing the school, there were other journalists from dozens of media outlets wanting to interview him.


    However, Chen Mobai rejected them all.


    He did not lose himself in the limelight, knowing perfectly well that in the world of cultivation, only realm is the reality.


    However, his home address was quickly discovered by the infamously keen paparazzi. Although they did not dare to barge in, their daily loitering still frustrated Chen Mobai.


    He didn¡¯t even dare to go to the Tianhe Realm.


    Perhaps there were reporters with the ability to detect his disappearance in the room.


    At first, Tang Panchui enjoyed flaunting the fact that her son had been admitted to one of the four Great Dao Academies.


    But after a while, she too started to grow annoyed.


    Chen Xinglan had already returned to Red Dawn Institution to continue her preparation for Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°These guys really don¡¯t give people a moment¡¯s peace.


    After returning home in the evening, Chen Mobai and Tang Panchui found a camera pointed at them across the street while they were having dinner. The latter was understandably annoyed, but there was nothing they could do about these people.


    ¡°Mom, how about we go back to the village to stay with grandma and grandpa for some peace and quiet?¡±


    Chen Mobai also didn¡¯t want to stay in Red Sandstone City, unable to meet his friends outside anymore.


    He could only stay home, cultivate, shop, prepare ink, and draw talismans every day.


    Though he had the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, so his cultivation progress hadn¡¯t slackened too much, he hadn¡¯t gone back to the Tianhe Realm in a month. He was unsure of the situation regarding the island surrounded by demonic beasts there.


    Even though everything was basically settled before he left, this was the place where Chen Mobai planned to make his fortune and collect Spirit Stones. He was just afraid of the unforeseen.


    But then he thought, if something unforeseen were to happen, his current cultivation level wouldn¡¯t be of much help.


    But he couldn¡¯t give up now, not after he had finally received an offer from the Divine Wood Sect.


    It so happened that every year during the holidays, he would go back to the countryside with Tang Panchui to visit their grandparents. This was a good opportunity for him to lay low in the mountains.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll ask the boss for time off now.¡±


    Tang Panchui had also had enough over the past few days. Both of them were action-takers; once they¡¯d decided, they immediately began packing their bags.


    That evening, they left Red Sandstone City.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai asked his uncle, Wang Jianyuan, to help them out. Wang Jianyuan drove them to the bus station, and before the reporters could react, they bought tickets and left.


    After the mother and son duo arrived at a suburban stop, a slightly tanned old man who had been waiting for them with a pipe in his mouth was already driving a pickup truck.


    As soon as the old man saw Chen Mobai getting off the bus, his eyes lit up and he rushed over to hug him.


    ¡°My precious grandson, you¡¯ve finally arrived!


    ¡°Dad, let¡¯s go quickly. I guess there are quite a few people following us.¡± Tang Panchui urged them to leave while stowing their luggage in the back of the pickup truck.


    ¡°Once we get to the mountains, let¡¯s see who dares to bother you.¡± The old man huffed dismissively, speaking with a dictatorial manner. His name was Tang Lu, he was the village head of Green Mountain Village, he was also Tang Panchui¡¯s father, and Chen Mobai learned officialdom from him. After alighting at this stop, they drove in a pickup truck for another three hours before arriving at a beautiful mountain village filled with terraced fields. ¡°Panchui, I heard your son got into Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Tang Panchui had already bragged to Tang Lu, and the latter was not good at keeping secrets. It seemed that the entire Green Mountain Village knew that Chen Mobai had been accepted into one of the Four Daoist Academies. Showboating in public, especially in the place where she grew up, immediately energized Tang Panchui.


    ¡°Auntie, long time no see. This matter, well, the bulk of the credit goes to me. If I didn¡¯t take him to the temple on the mountain to pray during the holidays, how could this rascal possibly have such good luck¡­


    After getting off the bus, Tang Panchui started chatting with an old lady in the village. Soon enough, a group of women got the news and came to see the genius prodigy rumored to be bom to Tang Panchui ¨C a fusion of the divine celestial scholars and warriors.


    Chen Mobai could only force a smile. Thankfully, Tang Lu called him to carry the luggage, and he quickly slipped away from the circle of women. The women didn¡¯t pursue, choosing instead to surround Tang Panchui, who was loudly bragging about her unique experiences in child-rearing. They looked on with envy.


    ¡°Grandma.¡±


    When he arrived at a house in the deepest part of Green Mountain Village, Chen Mobai saw an old woman with silver hair waiting at the door and called out to her.


    ¡°Ah, my good grandson, you¡¯ve really made your grandma proud.¡± The woman hugged Chen Mobai tightly, a proud smile on her face.


    That night, the whole family gathered.


    In addition to his grandparents, there were also two uncles and aunts.

    After two or three days of celebration, Tang Panchui was thoroughly bathed in glory.


    ¡°Oh, right, tomorrow we¡¯re going to the temple on the mountain to fulfill our vows, so don¡¯t run around.¡±


    That day, as Chen Mobai was in the courtyard, mixing ink for drawing talismans with his pieced-together ink-making tool purchased online, Tang Panchui, who had just returned from an outing, suddenly spoke.


    ¡°Mhm, I know.¡±


    After replying, Chen Mobai glanced at the turtle shell resting on the stone table, which he had been using to press down on the talisman paper..

 Chapter 134 - Chapter 134: Chapter 134 Taixu Temple 1

    Chapter 134: Chapter 134 Taixu Temple 1


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Green Mountain Village is located to the east of the Taixu Mountain Range and has been dependent on fanning since its first inhabitants.


    The village lies at the foot of the mountains, with wave-like terraced fields cascading down the slopes.


    The terraces give way to a forest of lush trees further uphill.


    Passing through that forest and navigating over five more mountains, one comes across a squarely constructed temple.


    This temple is known as ¡°Taixu Temple,¡± situated by the mountain and near the water.


    Whenever something comes up, many villagers from all over the Taixu Mountain Range flock here to offer incense.


    Chen Mobai had obtained his turtle shell in this temple, and he had always wanted to return to investigate whether there were more hidden secrets behind this fortunate opportunity.


    Early in the morning, he and his mother climbed mountains and crossed ridges, bringing tributes to the Taixu Temple.


    But they found that white lanterns were hung under the eaves of this temple. ¡°Who has passed away?¡±


    Tang Panchui wiped the sweat from her forehead and said quietly to herself. Her cultivation level was average and crossing five mountains had already left her a bit exhausted.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go ask.¡±


    Chen Mobai picked up his bag, calm and composed, and started to knock on the door while his mother took a rest.


    Soon, a junior cultivator opened the door.


    ¡°Greetings two donors, our firework elder passed away and became immortal last night. These days we are performing a ceremony and are not open for business, we apologize.¡±


    The junior monk showed his regret after listening to them.


    ¡°The dead should be respected.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, expressing understanding and was about to leave with Tang Panchui and come back another day.


    ¡°Since we¡¯ve come all this way, crossing over five mountains, let¡¯s offer some incense.¡±


    Tang Panchui made an casual suggestion.


    The junior cultivator hesitated for a moment, and after consulting the abbot, actually let them in.


    This Taixu Temple is neither big nor small.


    It is square, encircling an open courtyard in the middle.


    In the middle of the courtyard is a three-meter-long bronze urn filled with ashes of burned incense.


    Directly opposite the entrance is the main hall of the Taixu Temple, inside which is a Taixu True God statue of unknown origin. It is carried by a giant stone turtle. With a jade ruler in its left hand, the Tai Chi Eight Diagrams on its chest and brilliant galaxies on its sleeves, its face is dignified.


    Chen Mobai looked at the open right hand of the statue. Originally there was a turtle shell there, but now it was empty.


    ¡°Donors, please stop here.¡±


    After guiding them in, the junior monk pointed towards the white lanterns in the rear hall, indicating that it was the place of mourning and they shouldn¡¯t go there.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai thanked him, and then donated 1888 Good Deed Points by scanning the QR code at the door with his phone.


    He¡¯s quite affluent now.


    He had twenty thousand Good Deed Points, converted from Shen Juanxiu¡¯s Ling Sha in his card. Also he had thirty thousand Good Deed Points from the bets on Qing Women, but since her card could only transfer 2,000 per day, Chen Mobai told her not to transfer it to him yet.


    Recently, he had enough Qi-replenishing Spirit Water for the next three months. Chen Mobai asked Qing Women to use these Good Deed Points to buy medicinal ingredients and auxiliary materials to refine a different type of pill. Because all Spiritual Water pills have an expiration date and the ones just made have better effects when consumed.


    As for what pill to refine, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know, so he let Qing Women choose the medicinal materials and practice on her own.


    Qing Women considered it and chose the Rank-i High Quality ¡°Fire Clearing Pill¡± after weighing the two factors.


    When there¡¯s enough Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, prioritizing the enhancement of Divine Sense is the best option.


    After all, to succeed in Foundation Establishment, you need to excel in psyche, qi, and spirit. Shortcomings in any of these aspects would spell failure. Among these elements, enhancing one¡¯s divine sense is the most difficult.


    Yet, in Red Sandstone City, there is the advantage of making local use of resources to refine the ¡°Fire Clearing Pill,¡± whose main ingredient is the paulownia flower and fruit of the Jade Wood Tree.


    Chen Mobai applauded her choice.


    However, among Rank-1 elixirs, this elixir is exceedingly precious. Refining one furnace of this elixir would cost 20,000 Good Deed Points.


    While Chen Mobai, who had just accrued a small amount of Good Deed Points, was pained by the cost, he reasoned that the Good Deed Points in Qing Nu¡¯s account were all gained from bets. If they could be converted into his power or used to enhance Qing Nu¡¯s level of alchemy, it would be well worth it.


    Moreover, if they could successfully refine the Fire Clearing Pill, the Immortal Gate¡¯s official price for it was 5,000 Good Deed Points per pill.


    A furnace could yield up to ten pills. With the spiritual extract provided by


    Chen Mobai, Qing Nu could quickly earn back their investment if she successfully refined the pills.


    Multitasking.


    Chen Mobai was thinking about Qing Nu while his hands were busy finishing lighting the incense. He also placed the offerings he brought from his bag one by one on the table before the idol.


    On the other side, the abbot of the temple came out from the back and began to chat with Tang Panchui.


    ¡°Is that so? I couldn¡¯t have imagined that among our Taixu Mountain People, a true dragon from the Four Great Daoist Academies could arise.¡±


    Upon hearing from Tang Panchui that Chen Mobai had been admitted to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the abbot couldn¡¯t help but reveal a shocked expression, also accompanied by a sense of pride.


    ¡°We are indeed indebted to the incense here. We came here today to fulfill a vow. But since the temple is busy, we won¡¯t bother you anymore.¡± Seeing that Chen Mobai had put all the offerings like melons, fruits, and jujubes on the table, and that the incense had been lit, Tang Panchui smiled and said goodbye to the abbot.


    ¡°Would it be possible for you to leave a group photo?¡±


    The abbot was an old man with grey hair. He remembered Tang Panchui and Chen Mobai because over the years, there had only been issues with the mother and son during the incense offerings.


    He shamelessly asked Chen Mobai to take a photo with him, planning to use it later to promote the Taixu Temple. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t refuse.


    After the photo, Chen Mobai hesitated and finally decided not to ask about the turtle shell.


    ¡°Both of you, it¡¯s already noon. Please stay and have some vegetarian meals before leaving.¡±


    The abbot looked at the photo on his phone with satisfaction and had a junior cultivator guide the mother and son to have a vegetarian meal. He needed to go to the memorial hall to recite scriptures.


    ¡°Thank you, abbot.¡±


    Under the guidance of the junior cultivator, they headed to the eastern side-room, which was the cafeteria.


    The three of them chatted while eating.


    ¡°Do you know when this Taixu Temple was built?¡±


    ¡°It is said to have a long history. Anyway, when our ancestors settled in the


    Taixu Mountain Range, this temple was already here.¡±


    ¡°I sense that the spiritual energy in this temple is not bad.¡±


    ¡°Yes, there is a Rank-2 Spirit Vein in the Taixu Mountain Range. Although it has been subdued and collected by the Immortal Gate, if we apply to use it the spiritual energy transferred through the pipe from source to us will have less loss because of the proximity. So even though we only purchased intermediate grade Rank-t spiritual energy, it is actually very close to high-grade Rank-1.¡± Chen Mobai listened to the junior cultivator¡¯s explanation and measured the spiritual energy value with his phone. After he finished, Chen quietly nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Junior brother, the trash collecting Earth Master will be here soon. Quickly pack up Elder Liu Yanpei¡¯s relics. These things cannot be cremated in the temple, let them take it away.¡±


    At this moment, an older cultivator called to the junior from the doorway. The latter immediately put down his chopsticks.


    Please continue eating. I will go pack up Elder Liu¡¯s relics.¡±


    ¡°Wait a minute, is the elder who passed away in your temple today named Liu Yanpei?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened, and he abruptly stopped the junior cultivator who was about to leave.


    ¡°Yes, do you know Elder Liu?¡±


    ¡°It seems that when I was young and came to the temple to burn incense, I saw him. He even gave me a candy to eat.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave an excuse, causing the junior cultivator to look confused.


    Elder Liu was a loner and never received worshippers..¡±

 Chapter 135 - Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Liu Yanpei’s Notes_l

    Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Liu Yanpei¡¯s Notes_l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    ¡°But I¡¯ve only been in the temple for three years, perhaps elder Liu used to receive guests before.¡±


    The junior cultivator quickly found an excuse for Chen Mobai¡¯s words, easing the latter¡¯s worries.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t I help you clean it up.¡±


    ¡°This ¡­ thank you, benefactor.¡±


    Having help is always welcome.


    Chen Mobai watched Tang Panchui eat, and alongside the junior cultivator, they decided to clean up the remains together.


    ¡°This Elder Liu, has he always been in your Taixu Temple?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Elder Liu was one of the most senior people in our Taixu Temple. He was regarded as an elder brother by our abbot, but he was a solitary man. Over the years, he has been taking care of the temple¡¯s miscellaneous items, and loves to go to the mountains to collect herbs. Often, he wouldn¡¯t come back for more than ten days.¡±


    As the two of them were talking, they arrived at Liu Yanpei¡¯s room. A simple bed, a table, a wardrobe, a storage cabinet and rows of bookshelves lined up around the room, filled with all kinds of books.


    There were books on the history of the Immortal Sect, laws, administrative policies, introductions to the Daoist Academy, and many books on Cultivation Techniques and Spell collections, even the method of Alchemy.


    ¡°Elder Liu was also our temple¡¯s doctor. He used to help us with the preparation of herbal medicines for common ailments like headaches and fevers. His treatments were truly effective.¡±


    While the junior cultivator spoke, he unfolded the blankets on the bed and placed them on the floor, then bundled up all the clothes, medicine jars, pots and pans and other items in the room, prepared to pack them all up and dispose of them at the garbage dump for the Earth Masters to collect.


    ¡°Do you want to keep these?¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed to the nearly too books on the shelf, thinking that within, there might be some clues as to why this Cultivator from the Five Elements Sect of the Tianhe Realm had come to Di Yuan Star.


    ¡°No need, the abbot said to dispose of everything.¡±


    The junior cultivator glanced up while tidying the clothes and seeing that they were books, shook his head immediately.


    ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll help to collect these.¡±


    Chen Mobai picked up the mat on the bed, much like the junior cultivator did, and placed it on the floor, then removed each book one by one from the bookshelf.


    Using his divine sense to scan each book, he made sure there were no hidden pages or content before placing them on the mat.


    After about half an hour of tidying, he had finally finished sorting all the books, finding three to four empty notebooks.


    These notebooks were strange, although blank, many pages were folded, as if they were constantly flipped through and written on.


    Using his divine sense, he discovered a clue.


    These notebooks were written with a special ink that likely only became visible after being washed with a specific solution. Alternatively, using divine sense to observe the handwriting made it appear even clearer.


    ¡°What was Elder Liu Yanpei¡¯s cultivation level when he was alive?¡± ¡°Late-stage Qi Cultivation, I¡¯m not sure which layer specifically, but the abbot once said that among the people in Taixu Temple, Elder Liu had the highest cultivation level.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in understanding. The high priest had only reached the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation. Liu Yanpei had used this method to hide his notes, so even if someone accidentally came into the temple, they wouldn¡¯t see what he¡¯d written.


    ¡°Just as well, I¡¯ve been making talismans recently and need some notebooks for drafting. Why don¡¯t you give these to me? I¡¯m willing to donate some more Good Deed Points to the temple.¡±


    ¡°Oh, no, you just take them as you need.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the junior cultivator hurriedly shook his head.


    They were just a few blank notebooks after all, not worth much.


    ¡°Where is your temple¡¯s garbage dump? I¡¯ll use a spell to help you take everything over.¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai activated the Propulsion Technique, picked up the bundled up blankets and mat, and under the guidance of the junior cultivator, dumped all of it on an open area to the south outside the temple.


    ¡°Thank you, benefactor.¡±


    The junior cultivator was only at the third layer of Qi Cultivation. Without Chen Mobai¡¯s help, he would have needed to make two trips to dispose of everything.


    Now that everything was easily taken care of, he wore a satisfied smile. On the way back, Tang Panchui looked disgustedly at the notebooks in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands.


    The belongings of the dead are thought to bring bad luck.


    Chen Mobai heard, rolled his eyes, and pretended not to hear.


    Upon returning to Green Mountain Village, Chen Mobai sat on a recliner in the yard and began to decipher the invisible ink-written diary using his divine sense.


    [Received news from a junior disciple, Han Yuan¡¯s ancestor has passed away, and the Wood Vein and Metal Vein clans intend to rebel and split the sect. As a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, I will not allow this to happen.] [On the way, I encountered a senior from the Metal Vein clan. After the fight, although I managed to kill my opponent, I was severely injured. I had to look for a mountaintop with a hint of spiritual energy to recover.]


    [The mountain was nameless, but at the spirit vein center of the mountaintop, there was a Taixu Temple. I stepped into it to heal under the statue, but when I woke up, I found myself in an alien continent.]


    [According to the sect¡¯s legend, the Tianhe Realm was initially a vast ocean. After the Mother of Water Refines the Void, she created five continents and four seas. I never expected it to be true. I can¡¯t tell whether it is a blessing or a curse for me. Hopefully, the Cultivators on this alien continent are not from


    the Devil Sect.]


    At this point, Chen Mobai noticed that Liu Yanpei seemed to take a long time before continuing to write in his diary.


    And the next content, hastily written, hinted at the tremendous shock Liu Yanpei must have felt when he wrote these lines.


    [This place is not the Tianhe Realm, but an alien world called Di Yuan Star. The hundreds of millions of people here all possess a Spiritual Root and are all practicing immortal cultivation. Altogether, there are probably not as many Cultivators as those in the Tianhe realm. A sect called ¡®Immortal Gate¡¯ rules over this world. They even have two True Monarchs, who have achieved Divinity Transformation, and more than ten Nascent Souls. Could this be a celestial world?]


    After the above entry, he stopped for quite a while before adding new content.


    [I heard that the Immortal Gate sends troops every so often to wage expansion wars. We must not let them know the existence of the Tianhe Realm. Otherwise, Eastern Wilderness, as their entry point, will surely be destroyed by the strongest Five Elements Sect.]

    [I don¡¯t have an identity certificate, so I can only wander in rural outskirts. I dare not enter the reputed Thirty-Six Celestial Caves and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands. I heard that in these celestial cities, there are Jindan elders.]


    Chen Mobai reached this point, which marked the end of a notebook. It described Liu Yanpei¡¯s astonishment at the Immortal Gate and his cautious inquiries about the various situations of the Immortal Gate on the outskirts of the city.


    Because he was undocumented, he wasn¡¯t even able to buy a phone or go online.


    After understanding the systems of the Immortal Gate and learning that there were two Jindan True People guarding the nearby Danxia City, he dared not seize it forcibly and had no choice but to retreat to the Taixu Mountain Range. Chen Mobai picked up the second notebook and finally discovered what happened after Liu Yanpei entered the Taixu Temple.


    [I heard that there is another Taixu Temple located in the mountains. It has become clear to me that my arrival in this world may be related to this temple and 1 must find a way to infiltrate it..]

    [Resources in this world are extremely scarce, even spirit stones are nonexistent.]


    [When I traveled through time, I had a few dozen spirit stones on me. Unfortunately, they were all exhausted in the wilderness as I tried to restore my cultivation level.]


    [However, even if I had kept them, I wouldn¡¯t dare to use them to exchange for Good Deed Points.]


    Upon reading this, Chen Mobai could sense Liu Yanpei¡¯s helplessness between the lines.


    Being a stranger in a strange land, especially in a highly modernised society like the Xian Sect, where one couldn¡¯t even move a step without an ID card nor buy the spiritual energy needed for cultivation.


    [I pretended to be an amnesiac mountain man, I faked my age, fainted at the temple¡¯s doorway, was kindly taken in by the Master, and started to do odd jobs in the temple.]


    [Although the spiritual energy in this temple is meager, at least I can continue my cultivation. I meditated covertly under the statue every night. But even after a year, when I opened my eyes, I was still within the Xian Sect¡¯s territory. I searched all over the statue and the entire temple, found nothing mysterious. How can I return home?]


    [With my rank of Qi Cultivation 9th level, I am the strongest one in the temple. Simultaneously, I learned even more about the Xian Sect, this superpower, through this magical artifact, the internet.]


    [The Xian Sect has many teachings here, and one can even exchange for Divinity Transformation Art. Sadly, I don¡¯t have an ID card, so I cannot register for a national library account. However, even if all the Divinity Transformation techniques were presented before me, none would be as important as a single Foundation Building Pill.]


    [It¡¯s lamentable that I was close to accumulating enough Sect contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill. I wonder how things are going in the Tianhe Realm, how is the suppression of the rebellion there? Did my junior brothers and sisters survive the rebellion¡­]


    Chen Mobai finished reading the second diary, full of snippets about Liu Yanpei¡¯s exploration of the Xian Sect, his life in the temple, and longing for his Sect and hometown, recorded in a patchwork way.


    As the diary progressed the handwriting became more and more rushed, with the final page dominated by a single conviction, reading:


    [I must establish the Foundation!]


    Liu Yanpei had been lurking around in Taixu Temple for ten years and had a thorough understanding of the Xian Sect.


    He clearly understood that there were no Foundation Building Pills here, and the three herbs that substituted for the Foundation Building Pill were luxuries he, a rogue cultivator, could not afford or purchase.


    Seeing himself grow older by the day, and soon surpassing the age of 60, the peak of his prime, he could hold back no longer.


    He decided to risk everything in a desperate fight, and break through the Qi Cultivation Realm without the Foundation Building Pill.


    [I confided this to the Master, and he was very supportive, allowing me to go into seclusion in the great hall of the temple where the spiritual energy was most concentrated.]


    [I looked at a dozen accounts of successful Foundation Establishment in the Xian Sect, got to the step of Spiritual Power Liquification, but failed at the final step due to my inadequate Divine Sense; my spiritual power raged out of control, my meridians ruptured, and my attempt at Foundation Establishment failed. But in a sense, I also succeeded.]


    [My cultivation level fell to the 8th level of Qi Cultivation, but when I woke up,


    I suddenly found myself back in the Tianhe Realm.]


    Chen Mobai flipped open the third diary. The first line made his eyes widen in anticipation, and he plunged into the text.


    [This rich spiritual energy, this run-down little temple, undoubtedly, it¡¯s the place I was in before I traveled to the Elemental Star.]


    [I couldn¡¯t wait to return to the sect, but discovered that I had been expelled from the Five Elements Sect. The charge was fear of warfare and desertion, failing to respond to the sect¡¯s call to arms ten years ago. Even my junior brothers and sisters thought I did not want to share the sect¡¯s difficulties and considered me a disgrace. They even tried to kill me to purge me from the sect.]


    [Originally, I had fallen from the failure of Foundation Establishment and was still injured. Luckily, I had a Rank-2 Spirit Talisman to save my life. Besides, the sect was having a face-off with Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Golden Cliff and had no energy to care about an insignificant character like me. I narrowly escaped.]


    [I returned to Azure Waves Lake and felt my entire life was in darkness. I wanted to end it all but couldn¡¯t muster up the courage.]


    [Under the Rank-2 Spirit Vein of Azure Waves Lake, I spent a year recuperating from my injuries and once again broke through to the 9th level of Qi Cultivation.]


    [However, after my breakthrough, I found myself back in the Taixu Temple on the Elemental Star.]


    [What on earth is going on!?]


    The third diary described Liu Yanpei¡¯s sorrow after his failure in Foundation Establishment, his surprise at returning to the Tianhe Realm, his despair upon being expelled from the sect and shunned by friends and family, and his disappointment at once again returning to the Elemental Star.


    [I think I understand. Perhaps every time I break through a cultivation level, I¡¯ll travel between the two realms. But what is the cause of this behavior?]


    [Nevermind, why think about this? After all, I won¡¯t be able to make any more breakthroughs. It¡¯s ideal that everybody turned their back on me in the Tianhe Realm; I might as well spend the rest of my life in this small temple.]


    [At least, the Master and the fellow disciples here never considered me a disgrace.]


    What followed was an account of Liu Yanpei¡¯s simple yet fulfilling life in the Taixu Temple on the Elemental Star.


    He wrote about the aging of the Master, the arrival of the younger disciple, the departure of his brothers and sisters, the expansion and renovation of the temple, and the admission of the next generation.


    Just like that, another decade passed.


    [The Master has passed away. My brothers and sisters have all returned. After the funeral, the four of us started discussing who would take his place.]


    [The eldest brother despised the mesriness here and didn¡¯t want to stay. The second sister always followed the eldest brother. In the end, only the younger disciple and I remained in the temple. The younger disciple wanted to leave, and I didn¡¯t want to be the Master.]


    [After much persuasion from me, the younger disciple reluctantly accepted the role of Master of this decrepit temple. Once approved by an official, he received his certificate of appointment.]


    Time flew in the diary, and before he knew it, thirty years had passed. Liu Yanpei eventually wrote about something familiar to Chen Mobai.


    [Today, a mother and son from Green Mountain Village came. They arrived early in the morning, wishing to offer incense and pray for success in the college entrance exams.]


    [When the kid was offering incense, I happened to be sweeping the main hall. I don¡¯t know what happened, maybe because I am old, I accidentally bumped into him.]


    [He stumbled. The incense in his hand was flung away. His hands flailed aimlessly in his loss of control. He touched the turtle shell held by the right hand of the Taixu statue, slicing open his palm and bleeding profusely.]


    [When the junior Master learned the truth from me, he sent me up the mountain to pick herbs for a while as he dealt with the angry woman.]


    [When I returned, I learned that the junior Master had compensated the mother and son with the turtle shell. It¡¯s odd, even though I¡¯m old, I still have good control over my body. How did I accidentally bump into the kid?]

    [Since then, I suddenly felt my condition deteriorating day by day. After calculation, I realized that I¡¯d been living on the Elemental Star for fifty years. As a Qi Practitioner, I should be able to live to 120 under normal circumstances. But considering my countless battles, multiple near-death experiences, and failure in Foundation Establishment in the Tianhe Realm, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t live past 100.]


    [On my deathbed, I suddenly became unwilling to accept my fate. I decided to try Foundation Establishment again during my life¡¯s final moments.]


    [Even if the success rate is less than 1%, I want to die trying.]


    The diary abruptly ends there.


    However, Chen Mobai already understood the tumultuous yet vacant life of Liu Yanpei..

 Chapter 137 - Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Return to Green Light Island l

    Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Return to Green Light Island l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai put down the notebook in his hand.


    His sentiments were far from calm.


    After some time, he solemnly stood up, and with closed fists, saluted in the direction of the Taixu Temple, as a gesture done in the Tianhe Realm.


    Although Liu Yanpei was a stranger to him, if Chen Mobai would achieve anything in the future, he would not forget this man¡¯s kindness.


    ¡°Did this turtle shell come from Tianhe Realm? Or was it originally on Di Yuan Star?¡±


    Chen Mobai picked up the turtle shell he had placed above his talisman paper. To anyone¡¯s eyes, it appeared to be an ordinary object devoid of any spiritual energy.


    Because of this, Liu Yanpei who had spent fifty years beside this treasure didn¡¯t realize that it was this very turtle shell responsible for his inter-realm travels.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t understand it, but one thing he was certain of was that the Taixu Temple was definitely not simple.


    Or perhaps, could the Taixu True God statue be the incarnation of a mighty being?


    However, learning from the experience of Liu Yanpei, Chen Mobai knew that if a treasure didn¡¯t want to reveal itself before you, even if you held onto it for decades, you wouldn¡¯t gain the opportunity.


    One¡¯s own strength is what ultimately matters in the end.


    With this thought, Chen Mobai picked up the last notebook of Liu Yanpei.


    What was recorded in it was not his journal entries, but his insights about the cultivation of the ¡°Blackwater Cultivation¡± technique.


    Even though Liu Yanpei had purchased many cultivation techniques and laws from the Xiandor markets, he hadn¡¯t switched cultivation methods due to his solid foundation, instead always practicing this method of Qi Cultivation from the Five Elements Sect.


    After reading it all in one go, Chen Mobai harvested quite a bit from it.


    Even though he didn¡¯t switch to practicing ¡°Blackwater Cultivation¡±, he had almost mastered its corresponding spells. He believed that he had accomplished quite a bit, but compared to Liu Yanpei who had been immersed in it his whole life, he had barely scratched the surface.


    From Liu Yanpei¡¯s insights about the Blackwater system, Chen Mobai harvested greatly.


    If he were to fight Yang Jing again, he felt it would be much easier to win.


    However, these were not the greatest gains. In this notebook, it also recorded how to set up and break the ¡°Ren Water Thunder Method¡± prohibition technique.


    With this, when returning to the Water Mansion, Chen Mobai would not need to use the Rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder talisman, and could easily open the remaining two side halls.


    He just didn¡¯t know what object Liu Yanpei left within.


    However, Liu Yanpei would never have thought that, decades later, Chen Mobai would inherit his turtle shell and Water Mansion.


    Maybe it was the will of the heavens, he had included the method of breaking the Ren Water Thunder Method prohibition in his notes.


    Chen Mobai had a look and saw that it required the use of ¡°Dark Water¡±. Fortunately, he had some. It was just that the method of breaking the prohibition required practice, which might take a while. Good thing he didn¡¯t have other matters to attend to, so he decided to start practicing.


    [It¡¯s time to go back to Tianhe Realm to have a look. If the siege of the demonic beasts has ended, I¡¯ll leave Green Light Island and make a trip back to the Water Mansion.]


    Chen Mobai decided to visit Tianhe Realm that night, after contemplating.


    After having dinner.


    He returned to his room, placed the turtle shell carefully under his pillow, and then took out his phone. After a long time, he clicked on the [Teleportation] function.


    The flashing silver light signaled his long-awaited return to the Tianhe Realm after a month.


    However, as soon as he returned, Chen Mobai sensed that something was amiss.


    The entrance to the tunnel he dug was blocked.


    His eyes changed, Chen Mobai readjusted his stance to battle mode, with the Array Flag Needle box in hand, he carefully moved the blocks of wood and clods of earth blocking the entrance bit by bit.


    About half an hour later, he finally saw daylight again.


    After waiting for some time and making sure it was safe, Chen Mobai poked his head out.


    Looking at his surroundings, a drastic change overtook his face.


    His wooden hut had collapsed, showing signs of being caught in the aftermath of some battle.


    That was probably why the entrance to the tunnel was blocked.


    Chen Mobai was even more careful now, after clearing the debris from the entrance, he scurried out to take a look outside.


    What awaited was an even more shocking sight.


    The wooden houses lining the island were largely collapsed and in ruins. The entire Green Light Island seemed to have been ravaged by a giant monster, the highest peak of the island was missing a huge chunk, as though bitten off.


    The once bustling streets were shattered and broken, the remnants and scars of the battle were still evident. He could see many incomplete bodies of demonic beasts, but there were no human bodies.


    Reaching a high place, he saw that several of the Array Flag Spirit Trees that should be in sight had been broken, and more, completely uprooted and turned into ash by the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡±.


    Chen Mobai took out his phone and checked the remaining concentration of spiritual energy on the island, and discovered that it was only at 1 point.


    ¡°Just how dreadful was this battle?¡±


    When Chen Mobai was teaming up with Qi Rui, he had heard the latter say that as long as the spirit vein of Green Light Island remained intact, the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation could continuously extract the spiritual energy from earth veins to protect the entire island.


    But now, it was abundantly clear that the spirit vein of the entire Green Light Island had been depleted in the intense battle.


    This act of depleting resources was something that even cultivators of the Tianhe Realm wouldn¡¯t resort to unless they were backed into a corner.


    After all, the spirit vein on Green Light Island had been cultivated by the Divine Wood Sect for several decades, consuming tens of thousands of Spirit Stones in the process. Unless it was a matter of life and death, they would not resort to these extreme measures.


    Chen Mobai used a Guidance Talisman. This talisman could guide him to the place with the most prosperous spiritual energy.


    He quietly followed it, arriving at the highest peak of Green Light Island. Looking around, he saw that the place had turned into charred earth.


    He arrived at what should have been the place of the last battle, where the teleportation array was located.


    Chen Mobai saw more horrific traces of the battle. The ground was strewn with ashes of used talismans, shattered magic artifacts, and empty potion bottles. The ground had turned dark red but there wasn¡¯t a single body.


    Approaching the collapsed teleportation array temple, blood had seeped out staining half of the mountain red.


    Grinding his teeth, Chen Mobai turned around and headed towards the west bank where his team had been posted.


    The Array Flag Spirit Tree had been broken, lost all its spiritual energy, and was lying dried up on the cliff.


    The signs of battle were also visible here. And it was here that Chen Mobai found the reason why there were no bodies.


    In the distant waters, dozens of Black Plague Birds with red eyes were floating on the water, feasting on the bodies of the cultivators.


    It seemed that after Green Light Island was breached, the demonic beasts swarmed in and treated the bodies of the cultivators as food.

    Who knows how many people managed to escape through the teleportation array?


    Were there any cultivators who had survived elsewhere on the island?


    Were the members of his team still alive?


    As these thoughts ran through his mind, Chen Mobai squatted down on the cliff, careful not to draw the attention of the group of Black Plague Birds.


    He didn¡¯t dare stay here too long. Using the Cleaning Technique, he removed all scents from his body, returned to his hand-dug hut via the original path, and after covering it up, he returned to Di Yuan Star with a heavy heart..

 Chapter 138 - Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Switching to the ‘Pure Yang

    Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Switching to the ¡®Pure Yang


    Scroll¡¯_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai was anxious about the safety of Qi Rui and the others in his heart, but unfortunately, communication in the Tianhe Realm was inconvenient, nothing like the Di Yuan star where he could just make a phone call to ask about them.


    However, his worry was useless, and all he could do was continue to strengthen himself.


    After consuming a dose of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, he continued to refine his Spiritual Energy through the Five Elements Cultivation technique. A night passed, and with the growth of his spiritual power, Chen Mobai started contemplating about switching his cultivation to the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±.


    The cultivation of the Pure Yang Daoist Body should ideally start as early as possible.


    Luckily, he had ten Spirit Stones, which he could use to try cultivating the Body of One Yang.


    But Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare frivolously proceed with changing his cultivation technique on his own; it would be better to have guidance from an experienced teacher.


    pulling out his phone, he looked at his contact list.


    The two with the highest cultivation level were Lan Haitian from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute and Bian Yiqing from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    However, he didn¡¯t dare to call the former and could only contact Bian Yiqing, whom he had just added as a friend after their magic duel.


    ¡°Teacher Bian, I plan to switch my cultivation to¡­¡±


    After composing a long text about his situation and sending it, Chen MoBai waited for a response.


    A few minutes later, a message came back from Bian Yiqing.


    ¡°I practice the ¡®Dream-shattering Song¡¯, which can¡¯t provide any reference for you, but I can help you ask around.¡±


    Chen Mobai replied with a thankful expression, then continued making talisman, while waiting for a reply.


    He took out a stack of prepared, long strips of talisman paper, picked up the green bamboo pen given by Shen Juanxiu, dipped it in the simplest talisman ink he made, and started drawing talisman.


    Naturally, what he was drawing was the basic talisman that the Divine Wood Sect used to recruit Loose Cultivators, the Consciousness Talisman.


    When he set down the first stroke, he felt good.


    However, when he proceeded with the second stroke, he felt something wasn¡¯t right. But he could only grit his teeth and continue.


    After finishing, the talisman paper didn¡¯t show any spiritual energy.


    With a hopeful heart, Chen Mobai picked it up and tried to activate it by injecting spiritual power.


    There was a ¡°poof¡± sound.


    A puff of green smoke rose, and the talisman paper burned by itself without wind, turning into ashes.


    He had failed!


    Failure on the first try was normal.


    Chen Mobai thought so, his mood unaffected. He picked up the pen and ink again and began drawing on the second talisman paper¡­


    After failing repeatedly twelve times and used up all the talisman paper, Chen Mobai¡¯s hand started trembling slightly.


    His confidence, which he had slowly built up from being number one in the magic duel, was slightly shaken.


    Before drawing the talisman, he had gone over the process several times and clearly understood the order of strokes and writing. He thought that for such a basic Rank-1 lower-grade talisman, he should succeed at least once after trying a dozen times.


    But unexpectedly, he kept failing.


    Just as he was about to pick up another stack of talisman paper and aim to overcome this challenge through perseverance, his phone rang.


    Bian Yiqing had actually personally called him.


    ¡°You should go to the Cinnabarite Institute and look for a true person in red robes.¡±


    ¡°Is the true person going to personally give me guidance?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai excitedly asked.


    ¡°In my Dance Instruments Dao Academy, there is only one Junior Yang and he is in Core Formation who cultivates the Pure Yang Scroll. But he has been in seclusion for ten years now. Fortunately, the one in red robes is his junior. I mentioned your situation to him, he has a good impression of you, and he is willing to take out some time to guide you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Bian.¡±


    Chen Mobai was well aware that if it was himself who asked for guidance from the one in red robes, it would be impossible to even meet him.


    Definitely, Bian Yiqing reported Chen Mobai¡¯s situation to the Daoist Academy, and then the Daoist Academy relayed the information to the one in red robes, giving him this opportunity.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, just focus on cultivating your skills.¡±


    After the polite conversation, Bian Yiqing hung up the phone.


    He had left Red Sandstone City soon after the magic duel ended.


    Bian Yiqing had delayed a lot of time for the school entrance exam. His two apprentices from the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe had already toured two fairy cities and blessed lands after Red Sandstone City.


    However, now when Chen Mobai met Meng Huang and Jiang Yuyuan again, he had to call them his senior brother and sister.


    Although he was a bit reluctant to leave this peaceful countryside life, Chen MoBai eventually had to leave for his own path of cultivation.


    The next day, Chen Mobai bid farewell to his grandparents.


    Although the two old people were reluctant to let him go, they knew that the child¡¯s future wasn¡¯t here.


    Tang Panchui however, seemed a bit unresolved. During this time, she was the most popular woman in the village and many people sought her advice on cultivating their children to success.


    For the first time, she tasted what it was like to return home in glory. Although it was a halo from her son, she still enjoyed it a lot.


    On the day of departure, the two old people packed a large bag of mountain treasures and fruits for Chen Mobai.


    On the long journey to Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai got off the bus outside the city. He needed to transfer to another bus to go to the Cinnabarite Institute.


    He also told Tang Panchui about it, who was surprised to hear that her son was going to be taught by an extraordinary Gold Core cultivator, and urged him to hurry up and not keep the extraordinary cultivator waiting.


    When he arrived at the entrance of the Cinnabarite Institute, a familiar person was already waiting for him.


    ¡°Hello, Teacher Chan.¡±


    ¡°Get on.¡±


    Chan Si was riding a bicycle and patted the back seat.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment but eventually got on the back seat of the bicycle in front of many surprised gazes at the school gate. He was then brought into the campus by Chan Si.


    ¡°Here we are.¡±


    In the grand office of the Cinnabarite Institute, a real man in red robes was sitting on the sofa, sipping tea, and greeted Chen Mobai as he walked in.


    ¡°Greetings, True Man.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, I heard you want to switch to cultivating the ¡¯Pure Yang Scroll¡¯?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I believe everyone should have a dream, and my dream is to Ascend to become Immortals.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not right, that was your opponent¡¯s dream last time, why does your dream change every day?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t my dream of going to the Jumang Daoist Institute with my friends already fail? Besides, becoming the head of the immortal doors and Ascending to become Immortals are not contradictory. Rather, they complement each other. If I become an immortal, being the head of the immortal doors is as easy as I like.¡±


    ¡°You have a point.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, the man in red robes nodded.


    Then he asked Chen Mobai about his understanding of the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After all, there were thousands upon thousands of cultivators in the immortal doors, and after joining the Daoist Academy, many students were blinded by the name of the Way of God Transformation, and despite their mismatched spiritual root aptitude, they insisted on cultivating it. However, they didn¡¯t even manage to achieve the basic steps, and thus wasted the best years of their lives.


    Conversely, thanks to Yuan Yang¡¯s trailblazing, at least everyone could start with the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±.


    Chen MoBai answered every question and saw no need to hide anything in the presence of an extraordinary cultivator. He fully disclosed his spiritual root aptitude and the reasons why he wanted to switch to cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll.


    ¡°Although your chance of Ascending to become Immortals is less than one in ten thousand, since you have decided, I won¡¯t bother to discourage you. Moreover, given your spiritual root aptitude, if you want to attain Foundation Establishment or Core Formation, cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body might be the best path.¡±


    The man in red robes¡¯ words left Chen Mobai speechless¡ªhis spiritual root was indeed lacking..

 Chapter 139 - Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Foundation Establishment

    Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Foundation Establishment


    Treasure Deductionl


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Switching to ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ requires half a year. Speak to your family about it, you will likely stay here till you report to Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit excited. After all, this was a Golden Core Cultivator¡¯s personal guidance, and it would last for half a year.


    In all of Red Sandstone City, who would get such treatment?


    It was probably because he impressed Master Red Robe during the Magic Duel and his choice of Dance Tool Dao Academy, otherwise, Master Red Robe probably wouldn¡¯t even bother, not even for Qing Nu.


    However, he soon realized that he was overthinking it.


    Master Red Robe only guided him for three days initially. After Chen Mobai completed his first thread of Five Elements Spirit Power transformation, the master disappeared.


    ¡°The Headmaster is very busy. But he did say if you encounter any difficulties, you can directly message him. He will respond if he thinks it¡¯s necessary.¡±


    In the school canteen, Chen Mobai was treating Chansi to a meal, who spoke while eating.


    ¡°It¡¯s such a pity. I thought I would receive guidance from Master Red Robe for half a year.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked regretful.


    ¡°You should be thankful. We¡¯ve been students for six years, and only took four lessons from the headmaster in total, probably less than a day.¡±


    Returning with some desserts, Shen Juanxiu heard Chen Mobai¡¯s words and responded with a certain sour envy,


    ¡°By the way, my admission letter has arrived. I can register as an official member of Building Foundation Treasure.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly changed the subject, reaching for his phone.


    ¡°Really? Quick, quick, import my personal panel.¡±


    Shen Juanxiu was indeed distracted by Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    Chen Mobai had downloaded the Building Foundation Treasure app long ago, but he was always a regular member.


    To apply for Super Brain Computing Power and predict the success rate of foundation building, one has to be an official member.


    Aside from developers or Core Formation level cultivators¡¯ invitation codes, official membership could also be activated with a student ID from the four big Daoist Institutes or ten major academies.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s admission letter was electronic and sent directly to his phone by the official account of Dance Tool Dao Academy. Opening it caused a classic green background to pop up with black characters and a cute unfolding bamboo slip animation.


    Then appeared his photo and the content of his admission to the Academy, followed by his student ID number at the end.


    Chen Mobai copied it and entered it into the Building Foundation Treasure activation sequence.


    After a quick refresh, his profile picture was now framed with red.


    ¡°This red frame symbolizes the Dance Tool Dao Academy. A gold frame means it was activated by a Golden Core cultivator¡¯s invitation¡­¡±


    Shen Juanxiu had thoroughly researched the Building Foundation Treasure App and excitedly guided Chen Mobai to import his personal panel.


    Her practice was the Golden Ring Skill, and although her cultivation had dropped to Qi Cultivation level 8 due to a failed Foundation Establishment, she hadn¡¯t yet recovered. Nevertheless, she filled in Qi Cultivation level 9 perfection on Chen Mobai¡¯s personal panel information.


    Then they clicked ¡®next¡¯, which prompted a new interface.


    [Please select supplementary spiritual items for Foundation Establishment]


    ¡°Choose all three Foundation Establishment treasures. Although I don¡¯t have them yet, I will surely have them before I build my foundation.¡±


    Shen Juanxiu spoke with confidence when she said this.


    Chen Mobai nodded and selected Vein Protection Pill, Spirit Ascension Powder, and Solidifying Qi Liquid.


    ¡°Also, add Kun Essence Blood and Profound Fire Spirit Liquid.¡±


    Chen Mobai was astounded to hear this. He hadn¡¯t anticipated Shen Juanxiu would have a connection to acquire these things.


    The Profound Fire Spirit Liquid was an item used by the Dance Tool Dao Academy to assist in Foundation Establishment. Consuming it expands and nurtures the meridians, increasing the odds of successful Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°I actually don¡¯t have them, but the Building Foundation Treasure app gives us this one chance. I want to fill in every item that can raise my foundation building success rate to see how high my success rate can be.¡±


    When Shen Juanxiu said those words, she seemed slightly less confident probably because she had failed in Foundation Establishment once.


    By using Building Foundation Treasure, she intended to boost her confidence.


    Chen Mobai nodded and manually filled in these two spiritual objects.


    Then move on to the next step.


    [Which attempt at Foundation Establishment is this?]


    Eh, why is there such an option?


    Chen Mobai and the two women looked at each other. After Shen Juanxiu nodded, they chose [Second Time],


    Next step.


    [Which step did the first Foundation Establishment reach? One: Change Tendons and Wash Marrow; Two: Condensing Qi into Liquid; Three: Divine Consciousness Leaving Body]


    Shen Juanxiu hesitatingly chose the first. She couldn¡¯t lie about this, lest it affect the accuracy of the supercomputer¡¯s extrapolation.


    Continue to the next step.


    [What rank is the Spirit Vein used for Foundation Establishment?]


    [Rank-3, Intermediate-grade.]


    Shen Juanxiu is wealthy, so this is the highest grade spirit vein that Cinnabarite Institute can provide for its students.


    [Please confirm whether all the information above is correct?]


    Finally, at the last step, Chen Mobai placed his mobile phone on the dining table and let Shen Juanxiu check everything again one last time. After confirming that there were no issues, he took a deep breath and clicked [Confirm],


    Then suddenly, a red popup window appeared!


    [The user ¡®If I Were the Blue Emperor in the Future¡¯ backend data does not match the character on the data panel, do you want to continue with the extrapolation? After this time, you need to wait for two years before you can queue up to use this software again.]


    Shen Juanxiu immediately looked nervously at Chen Mobai, who was taken aback, not expecting this software to also have backend validation.


    However, he had already accepted the payment, and the green bamboo pen was also used several times, so there was absolutely no reason to go back on his word.


    [Yes]!


    He extended his finger and clicked the button.


    Shen Juanxiu breathed a sigh of relief, then looked even more nervously at the rotating animation on the Foundation Treasure screen.


    About two minutes later, a huge percentage number appeared before their eyes.


    [Foundation Establishment Success Rate: 39%!]


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but frown.


    Despite applying so many conditions, the success rate was still less than fifty percent.


    He felt a little awkward, but noticed that Shen Juanxiu looked ecstatic, as if she was extremely happy with this number.


    ¡°Professor Chen, does this success rate of 39% looks pretty good to you?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, somewhat confused.


    ¡°Without using any Foundation Building spiritual objects, the success rate of Foundation Establishment at the 9th level of Qi Cultivation is one in a hundred, which is 1%. You can imagine how high a success rate of 39% is.¡±


    Shen Juanxiu guided Chen Mobai to click on the detailed calculation of the Foundation Treasure.


    [A complete set of the Three Great Foundation Treasures increases the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 10¡ã/o]


    [A bottle of Kun Essence Blood, its efficacy overlaps with the Three Great Foundation Treasures, the success rate of Foundation Establishment increases by 6%]


    [A portion of Profound Fire Spiritual Liquid, its efficacy overlaps with the Vein Protection Pill, and conflicts with the user¡¯s Gold Ring Cultivation, increases the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 3%]


    [At the perfect stage of the 9th level of Qi Cultivation, the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow step has already been completed in the first attempt, increases the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 12%]


    [Rank-3, Intermediate-grade Spirit Vein, increases the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 8%]

    After reading this, Shen Juanxiu breathed a sigh of relief, but her face showed some struggle.


    Among these, she couldn¡¯t get ¡°Kun Essence Blood¡± and ¡°Profound Fire Spirit Liquid¡±. In other words, her actual success rate for Foundation Establishment was only 30%.


    But even so, she was already very satisfied.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai was thinking about the Foundation Building Pill from the Tianhe Realm.


    It seems that a single Foundation Building Pill can offer a success rate of 30% for Foundation Establishment!

 Chapter 140 - Chapter 140: Chapter 140: The White Jade Bell i

    Chapter 140: Chapter 140: The White Jade Bell i


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Thank you for giving me this opportunity for inference.¡±


    Shen Jianxiu repeatedly expressed her gratitude. After getting the result of the Foundation Establishment treasure, she could finally calm her worries.


    ¡°Not at all, I also got what I wanted.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head. Perhaps to others, the opportunity to infer a Foundation Establishment treasure was invaluable, but to him, it was just a matter of delegation.


    After chatting for a while, they parted ways.


    Lately, Chen Mobai was busy transforming his Five Elements Cultivation spiritual power. Usually, he stayed in isolation within the cave dwelling he had rented during his previous magic duel. He had re-leased it for another six months.


    The ¡®Pure Yang Scroll,¡¯ indeed one of the seven Divinity Transformation cultivation techniques of the immortal world, produced a much purer spiritual power than the Five Elements Cultivation, and its operation routes were also more complicated.


    It was during this time that Chen Mobai realized that changing cultivation techniques was even more challenging than rebuilding them from scratch.


    If you were to start anew, you could calmly transition to a new method after dissipating your spiritual powers.


    However, transforming the spiritual power cultivated by one technique into another involved harnessing much more effort and a firmer understanding of the respective techniques, compared to re-cultivating them.


    If it weren¡¯t for the crimson-robed real-person supervising him and teaching him how to accomplish the transformation of the first wisp of spiritual power, Chen Mobai would probably have burnt up months with his talent and comprehension. Moreover, he could possibly face irreversible problems due to a distorted understanding of the techniques.


    After completing the first transformation of the ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ spiritual power, Chen Mobai overcame the most challenging beginning. The rest was only a test of patience.


    Thanks to the Immortal School allowing all students to cultivate the Five Elements Cultivation, which had balanced and neutral spiritual power, it could be transitioned into any other technique without obstructions. Otherwise, Chen Mobai could only restart his cultivation or continue with Five Elements Cultivation as his only path if he wished to cultivate the ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯.¡¯


    But if that were the case, Chen Mobai would definitely walk this path to the end and exclusively cultivate Five Elements Cultivation.


    Worse comes to worst, he would follow in the footsteps of Qing Ping and come out victorious through superior realms.


    One night, after completing the spiritual power transformation, Chen Mobai, equipped with a newly purchased batch of talismans, once again transported himself to the Tianhe Realm using the Turtle Treasure.


    Only after using the Spirit Seeking Talisman to ensure there were no demonic beasts nearby did Chen Mobai cautiously lift the lid of the cave opening.


    Upon stepping out, he sighed at the sight of the still and silent Green Light Island under the starry sky.


    Unsure if the Black Plague Birds would come to forage at night, Chen Mobai carefully produced three talismans and placed them on himself. They concealed his aura, hid his body, and allowed him to float.


    Last time, he only visited two places ¨C the Green Light Island center and the spot where his old team had guarded a Spirit Tree.


    Despite the large scale of Green Light Island and the havoc wreaked by demonic beasts, there must be some fortunate survivors, he thought.


    Chen Mobai wanted to know what exactly had transpired.


    Hovering, he set off from an abandoned wooden hut like a floating cloud, heading first for the Green Light Island center, which housed the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Teleportation Array.


    All along the way, countless broken and shattered magic artifacts lay scattered.


    Without a storage bag, it was a pity that all these items couldn¡¯t be transported back to Earth. Even if he sold them to the Earth Masters who recycled scrap, it would still amount to a considerable number of Good Deed Points.


    If he had the right connections with Artifact Refiners, these broken artifacts could indeed be melted down and reprocessed.


    Over the past century, prices for all raw materials in the Immortal World, whether precious metals or gemstones, had skyrocketed.


    However, the origin of these broken artifacts seemed suspicious, and to avoid exposure, Chen Mobai abandoned the idea of collecting scraps.


    Reluctantly, he traveled all the way from the ruined marketplace at the bottom of the island to the teleportation hall at the top, picking and choosing, gathering, and discarding. But all the artifacts were utterly ruined, devoid of spiritual light.


    Just as he was about to give up and head towards the hall, a piece of red string caked with mud in a crevice between Qing Shi stones caught his attention.


    He reached his hand out, pinching the end of the string and tugged lightly.


    Ding Ling Ling!


    The crisp and pleasant sound of the bell calmed Chen Mobai¡¯s anxious heart.


    A faint, creamy-white jade-like luster caught his eye.


    It was a pair of exquisite bells made of white jade, strung together on a red thread writhed into multiple strands.


    Chen Mobai immediately played a Quiet Talisman, fearing the bell¡¯s sound might draw the attention of the Black Plague Bird, while also hiding in a secluded spot.


    Although this was the center of the island, far away from the reefs where the demonic beasts resided, the bell¡¯s sound absolutely couldn¡¯t reach there.


    However, it was better to be save rather than sorry. These Black Plague Birds inherently controlled swift winds, what if the vibrations from the bell¡¯s sound was captured by some creature out of the ordinary?


    Thinking of this, the always cautious Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate anymore.


    He returned the way he came, back in his burrow, and hit the [Return to City] button.


    There was a flicker of silver light.


    Holding the white jade bell in his hand, Chen Mobai had returned to his cave dwelling within the Cinnabarite Institute.


    He used the Cleaning Technique, and instantly the bell stained with mud regained its luster, shiny and transparent.


    The red thread stringing it was especially vibrant under the contrast of the white jade color, as red as if it was on fire.


    As a boy, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but fondle this exquisite magic artifact.


    He lightly shook it, and the two bells instantly emitted clear, pleasing, and suppressively annoying sounds, making him extremely uncomfortable.


    ¡°It seems that the two bells serve different purposes. One should soothe the mind, and the other might cause irritation.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to infuse spiritual power into them for a test. What if the power of this magic artifact surpassed his imagination and left his senses damaged?


    He had to find a professional.


    He took out his phone, took a dozen photos from all angles of the jade bells, and sent them to Wu Wan.


    The next day.


    Wu Wan showed up at the Cinnabarite Institute in person.


    ¡°Master Wu, why did you come here personally?¡±


    Chen Mobai was very surprised when he opened the door to see him.


    ¡°Now that Brother Chen is a disciple of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, your status is unlike the past. It¡¯s my honor that you¡¯d think of me. I couldn¡¯t possibly keep you waiting.¡±


    The way Wu Wan carried himself now was completely different, which made Chen Mobai feel a bit uncomfortable.


    ¡°Please, let¡¯s keep things as they were before. You make me uncomfortable like this.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately welcomed Wu Wan in, took the white jade bells from beside his pillow, and casually passed them across the table to him.


    ¡°Body like white grease, radiance within blue.¡±


    Wu Wan first visually inspected it, gave his evaluation of the jade¡¯s color and luster, then geared gloves to finally dare take it and observe closely.


    After a while, he exclaimed and gave another four-word comment.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°White, transparent, fine, moist.¡±


    Seeing Wu Wan¡¯s unprecedented expression, Chen Mobai knew this magic artifact might be extraordinary. He must¡¯ve hit the jackpot.


    ¡°Master Wu, how do you grade the quality of these bells, to what level can you appraise?¡±


    Now that he was rich, Chen Mobai naturally hoped Wu Wan could thoroughly appraise these bells, preferably reverse engineer the refining and usage methods, so he can truly master them.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, this magic artifact¡¯s raw material should be Rank-2 ¡®Flowing Water Jade¡¯, but the refiner¡¯s skills were subpar, only reaching high-quality Rank-1. What a waste..¡±

 Chapter 141 - Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Symbols Complete_l

    Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Symbols Complete_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°I am a registered Rank-1 Treasure Appraiser in the world of cultivation after all. Although this white jade bell is a bit unconventional, as long as it is within the Rank-1 range, completing the third level of appraisal should not be a problem.¡±


    Wu Wan confidently spoke up, seeing him not asking about the history of this Magic Artifact, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief.


    ¡°However, the price may be a little expensive.¡±


    Speaking of this, Wu Wan seemed afraid that Chen Mobai would misunderstand, and immediately explained.


    ¡°Because it involves a Magic Artifact related to sound, I have to research some material, and perhaps consult a senior in the industry. I will definitely need to give a little token of appreciation. But don¡¯t worry, Chen, it won¡¯t exceed 8000 Good Deed Points.¡±


    Speaking of sound, Chen Mobai thought of Bian Yiqing, a master in this field. However, he definitely wouldn¡¯t dare to have this Magic Artifact evaluated by Bian Yiqing.


    Wu Wan has been cooperative for many times, even though at first his impression wasn¡¯t ideal, at least in the later times, Chen Mobai was pretty satisfied.


    But the appraisal fee of 8000 Good Deed Points still made him feel a little expensive, even though Chen Mobai now had more than a hundred thousand Good Deed Points in his account.


    But thinking about it as spending 8000 Good Deed Points to buy this top-quality Rank-1 bell Magic Artifact, he felt much better.


    ¡°As long as Master Wu can complete the third level of appraisal, we¡¯ll proceed with your pricing.¡±


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s sign a standard contract first.¡±


    The third level of appraisal, which involves backtracking the process of offering sacrifices and usage, can¡¯t be completed in a short time.


    Wu Wan needed to take the white jade bell back, he might also need to use some special equipment.


    The cultivation world has standard contracts to handle such situations, to prevent Treasure Appraisers from being greedy when they see precious Magic Artifacts, either disappearing after taking it away or forging a replica to replace it.


    Chen Mobai was sure that Wu Wan would not do such a thing, not because he knew his character well, but because once such an incident occurred, a Treasure Appraiser¡¯s registration certificate would be directly revoked.


    Although the white jade bell might be valuable, it definitely could not compare to the Rank-i Treasure Appraiser certificate that Wu Wan had worked so hard to obtain.


    Even if his gold shop went bankrupt, with this certificate, Wu Wan would be in demand by numerous Artifact Refining shops if he decided to work, easily earning ten thousand Good Deed Points a month.


    After both of them signed the contract, Wu Wan stamped his Professional Seal on it, attached a photo of the Magic Artifact, and then uploaded the standard contract to the network of the cultivation world for backup.


    ¡°A maximum of ten days.¡±


    After receiving the deposit paid by Chen Mobai, Wu Wan patted his chest to assure him.


    ¡°By the way, Chen, are you free at noon? I have invited Luan Jingsheng for lunch, why don¡¯t you join us?¡±


    Luan Jingsheng was the Cinnabarite Institute student who sold the Five Phases Umbrella to Chen Mobai last time. He was also a customer of Wu Wan. Wu Wan received a good percentage from that business deal. Since he was here, it was natural for him to maintain their relationship.


    ¡°Sounds good, I have some questions about talismans that I want to ask a master.¡±


    Chen Mobai initially wanted to decline, but he remembered his recent experience of constantly failing in drawing talismans. He thought that he shouldn¡¯t just blindly rush ahead in his learning.


    He had also asked Chan Si and Shen Juanxiu, but the former focused all his energy on formations, and the latter was only thinking about Foundation Establishment. Although she knew a bit about talismans, she couldn¡¯t provide much help to Chen Mobai.


    The former student council president of the Cinnabarite Institute was a master in drawing talismans, but Chen Mobai was not familiar with him at all. Chan Si wanted to introduce them, but the former is a reclusive cultivator. Since the entrance examination ended, he hadn¡¯t left his Cave Dwelling.


    Since Luan Jingsheng could refine a talismanic artifact like the Five Phases Umbrella, it indicated that his expertise in talismans should not be low.


    Chen Mobai had almost forgotten about him, and if Wu Wan hadn¡¯t mentioned it today, he would have missed an opportunity to learn from a knowledgeable person in Cinnabarite Institute.


    ¡°Oh, with your talent, you actually failed repeatedly. It must be a very complex and difficult talisman, right?¡±


    In a small restaurant in the campus of the Cinnabarite Institute, Luan Jingsheng was quite surprised to see Chen Mobai come over with Wu Wan.


    During the last finals of the entrance examination, although he did not go to watch it, he easily found out about Chen Mobai, praised by the True Man in Red as the ¡°Battle Law Victory¡±, from the trending posts in the friend circle afterwards.


    Being able to enter the Four Great Daoist Academies, he could basically be regarded as a True Cultivator who will Establish the Foundation. If his future development goes smoothly, there is a chance to become the next True Man in Red, returning to his hometown in glory.


    Therefore, to have a genius like Chen Mobai come to him for advice on drawing talismans, Luan Jingsheng was somewhat surprised.


    ¡°Not at all. I only have some talent in magic duels, I have not even entered the threshold of the way of talismans, I still need your teachings, Brother Luan.¡± After Chen Mobai agreed to pay for the meal, Luan Jingsheng generously took Chen Mobai to a large classroom in the Cinnabarite Institute that specialized in teaching talisman drawing.


    Having saved a meal¡¯s expense and eaten for free, Wu Wan left with a happy smile, he was still busy with the appraisal of the white jade bell.


    ¡°Show me by drawing one.¡±


    Chen Mobai obediently set up his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, then began to draw.


    After completion, he infused it with spiritual power.


    With a ¡°pu¡± sound, it failed again.


    Chen Mobai, with an awkward expression, looked at Luan Jingsheng, but Luan Jingsheng was thinking carefully. He looked at the method of drawing the Consciousness Talisman provided by Chen Mobai, then picked up his brush to draw it himself.


    Halfway through the drawing, Luan Jingsheng paused.


    Then he continued to draw, but the final product also failed.


    However, Luan Jingsheng¡¯s expression did not change. He took another piece of talisman paper, then picked up the brush and began again.


    This time, he finished in one go without any pause.


    Chen Mobai looked at him admiringly, he knew without trying that this Consciousness Talisman was successfully drawn.


    ¡°It¡¯s a bit weird.¡±


    However, after completing the drawing, Luan Jingsheng furrowed his brows slightly.


    ¡°What¡¯s weird, isn¡¯t it successful?¡±


    ¡°The change of stroke here is too sharp, when there is a better way to make the transition.¡±


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s incredulous gaze, Luan Jingsheng dipped his brush again and started drawing another Consciousness Talisman. He adjusted the transition of the brushstroke in the place where he had previously paused, making it rounder and simpler.


    ¡°Drawing like this feels much better.¡±


    The modified version of the Consciousness Talisman was successfully drawn, Luan Jingsheng nodded in satisfaction.


    ¡°Try drawing using this changed version of mine.¡±


    Chen Mobai respectfully nodded, then took the final version of the Consciousness Talisman drawn by Luan Jingsheng and started copying.


    But he failed twice more.


    However, having someone guiding and exploring it oneself are two completely different things, similar to when he transferred to the Pure Yang Scroll, the True Man in Red gave him guidance. On the third attempt, seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s stiff technique, Luan Jingsheng couldn¡¯t help but directly hold his wrist to let him feel the correct stroke.

    He was successful this time.


    Chen Mobai showed a delighted expression.


    Although he failed again immediately after, he finally managed to complete the drawing of the Consciousness Talisman successfully on his own in the next attempt.


    He took up the talisman he drew, infused it with spiritual power to activate it, and felt the spiritual power consumed in drawing the talisman slowly recover, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t contain his joy.


    He finally succeeded!

 Chapter 142 - Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Brass Ring 1

    Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Brass Ring 1


    Translator: 549690339 |     ¡ã


    Chen Mobai felt exceptionally pleased after successfully drawing his first talisman in his life.


    Riding on the wave of success, he went on to draw ten more, failing three times but succeeding seven times.


    Just as he prepared to continue solidifying his ability, he felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.


    Drawing talismans may not deplete much spiritual power, but it severely exhausts one¡¯s mental energy. One must not overstep one¡¯s limits and should strike a balance between work and rest.¡±


    Luan Jingsheng, who was standing by, stopped Chen Mobai from continuing his drawing and explained the reason for this.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai paused. Seeing that it was getting late, he and Luan Jingsheng went out for dinner.


    After returning to his cave dwelling, instead of continuing to explore the Green Light Island in the Tianhe Realm, he had a good night¡¯s rest with the help of the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique.


    The next morning, with the dawn of the rising sun, he resumed transforming his Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    Chen Mobai had already completed nearly half of the Five Elements Cultivation power transformation. His Divine Sense in operation, the Spiritual Power Vortex in his Dantian Qi Sea had split into two.


    Following the route for qi cultivation in the Pure Yang Scroll, he gathered the concentrated Spiritual Energy that was refined after ingesting the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water into the smaller vortex of his Spiritual Power. Only then did Chen Mobai slowly open his eyes.


    After finishing his training, he noticed there was still plenty of time left.


    He took out his ink, brush, paper and ink stone and began drawing the Consciousness Talisman again.


    A night of rest coupled with half a day¡¯s cultivation left him in an optimal state, and his first three attempts were all successful.


    However, during his fourth attempt, due to the negligence of not soaking enough Talisman ink, the strokes became lighter towards the end, leading to a failure.


    Nonetheless, Chen Mobai was not perturbed by this.


    Feeling like he already mastered the art of drawing this Talisman, he dipped the ink again and successfully drew another one. He then put down his green bamboo pen.


    Drawing talismans requires a great deal of mental energy, and after drawing five consecutively, he started to feel tired.


    After lunch¡­


    He meditated to restore his spirit, closed the gate, took out his mobile phone and teleported to the Green Light Island in the Tianhe Realm once again.


    The spoils from acquiring the white jade bell stirred a strong motivation within Chen Mobai to seek more treasures.


    He felt that there should still be many intact Magic Artifacts scattered around the Green Light Island. Last time, he came during the night to avoid detection and hence had a limited field of vision. This time, he decided to teleport there during broad daylight.


    Upon exiting the cave¡­


    Chen Mobai used three talismans to conceal his figure. Then he retraced his previous search route again, and spent the entire afternoon meticulously scouring the half-collapsed Fang Market. However, he didn¡¯t have the same luck as before.


    He found nothing.


    The mam issue was that too many wooden buildings in the market had collapsed, and he dared not make a big fuss.


    The sound of moving planks and rocks might draw the attention of the Black Plague Birds.


    He could visit this place countless times and take his time searching. Even though it was slow, he could cover the entire area eventually.


    As the sun was about to set, Chen Mobai arrived at the location where the Shenmu Sect¡¯s Teleportation Array was previously situated.


    The battle here was sure to have been the most intense.


    The ground was still a dark red color, and above it was the gnawed-off mountaintop ¨C the origin of Green Light Island¡¯s Spirit Vein, a Rank-3 Spirit Vein that the Divine Wood Sect had cultivated using tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.


    Regrettably, it was now gone, and it was unclear whether the Divine Wood Sect had drained the Spirit Vein using the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation or if it was destroyed by powerful demonic beasts that invaded the island.


    Chen Mobai scoured the area around the ruinous Spirit Vein, which resembled a gaping crater or volcano.


    Here, he made another discovery.


    A dull golden glow flickered amidst the mud, catching his eye.


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    His gaze shifted, falling on the inside of the pit, as he closely inspected that hint of golden shimmer.


    It was only thanks to it being daytime, the golden light from the setting sun fell on that object, causing it to twinkle with a subtle glow that Chen Mobai happened to notice as he came back around.


    You could say he was incredibly lucky.


    But, as a precaution, he dared not step into the pit.


    But he didn¡¯t have any rope in his backpack either, so how could he retrieve that object?


    Perhaps he should come back tomorrow?


    After pondering for a while, Chen Mobai slapped his forehead, opening his needle box which he hadn¡¯t used for a long time.


    A row of flying needles levitated, under the control of magnetism, crisscrossing into a palm-sized rack, flying into the mud where the glow was located, scooping up the object, and finally delivering it to his gaze.


    The Cleaning Technique was cast, and the mud fell, revealing the golden sheen in its true form.


    It was a brass ring.


    The workmanship was very simple, one could even call it a little crude. It was simply cast into a ring that could be slipped onto a finger. There were many scratches on the outer surface, and he didn¡¯t know if they were always there or made later.


    The inside of the brass ring was quite smooth though..


    Chen Mobai extended a finger and pressed on it. Although it was metal, it was not very hard and felt comfortable to touch.


    However, he dared not wear it.


    Who knew what the purpose of this brass ring was, it might even be used for suppression.


    He dared not inject spiritual power to try its effects either.


    It would be best to bring it back for Wu Wan to appraise.


    He hoped Wu Wan would not ask where this magic artifact came from


    However, after Wu Wan¡¯s Foundation Establishment failure, his actions fit


    Chen Mobai¡¯s intentions pretty well.


    But this could not continue, as he could foresee that he would obtain many magic artifacts in the Tianhe Realm in the future. Even if Wu Wan were tight-lipped, he risked being exposed with every additional person who knew.


    Should he find another treasure appraiser to appraise this brass ring?


    Or should he take the time to learn treasure appraisal knowledge for himself?


    After tucking the brass ring into the pocket of his jacket, a thought suddenly flashed in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    But soon, he shook his head.


    He still hasn¡¯t mastered the talisman, how could he possibly distract himself to learn about treasure appraisal and artifact refining.


    After being accepted into the Dance Tool Dao Academy, his main goal was to enter the Divine Wood Sect, obtain the Foundation Building Pill, and the ¡°Dual Phase Cultivation¡± that could increase the success rate of Core Formation.


    After that, before the sky completely darkened, Chen Mobai took another round around the pit. But it seemed his luck had run out, as he didn¡¯t find any more intact magic artifacts.


    After returning, he texted Wu Wan, asking for an update about appraising the white jade bell. The latter seemed to be busy and only replied half an hour later.


    He said it was more difficult than expected, as the refining method was very unique.


    Chen Mobai knew it might be because the refining method in the Tianhe Realm was different from the immortal world, so he was understanding and told him to take it slow.


    However, in this case, Wu Wan definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to appraise the brass ring in the meantime.

    For now, let¡¯s focus on the white jade bell.


    A month went by.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s life was simple, everyday at the Cinnabarite Institute he would practice Qi cultivation, draw talismans, and painstakingly travel to Green Light Island in the Tianhe Realm for treasures.


    But apart from a green handkerchief with embroidery, he had no other gains.


    His progress in drawing talismans was also not substantial, only to ask Luan Jingsheng for help again. The latter carefully examined the remaining four Life Talisman of the Divine Wood Sect, but discovered something that greatly surprised Chen Mobai..

 Chapter 143 - Chapter 143: Chapter 143 – Tactics l

    Chapter 143: Chapter 143 ¨C Tactics l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Where did you learn these talisman drawing methods?¡±


    ¡°Why do you ask?¡±


    Chen Mobai felt a bit uneasy when he saw Luan Jingsheng looking a bit serious, suspecting that he might have realized these talismans were not from the Immortal sects.


    ¡°I noticed something off about that ¡®Consciousness Talisman¡¯ you showed me earlier. It could have been drawn in a much simpler manner, but instead, it has many unnecessary turns in its strokes. I thought the teaching materials that you obtained may have been misprinted.¡±


    ¡°But now looking at this set of four talismans, each one has a stroke altered. They are not altered wrongly, just that the changes made would greatly increase the failure rate, making it harder for those who try to learn from these materials.¡±


    ¡°For me, as a Rank-1 Talisman Maker, I could still force it out with my foundational knowledge. However, for beginners, if they were to follow this set of materials, they would likely need at least a year or more to master.¡±


    After hearing Luan Jingsheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was stunned.


    He thought about his laborious efforts in practicing every day back in Green Mountain Village but couldn¡¯t successfully draw even a single talisman. He used to think he had no talent in this, which had caused a blow to his self-confidence.


    He didn¡¯t expect it would turn out like this.


    The book ¡°Divine Wood Sect Talisman Making Insights¡± he obtained from Southstream Market had been meddled with. The five methods for drawing the Life Talismans within were all altered somewhat. Not only would it waste the time of loose cultivators studying it, it might even shake the confidence of some loose cultivators in joining Divine Wood Sect.


    He didn¡¯t know if Lu Shu, who gave him the book initially, knew about it.


    If he did, that would signify Chen Mobai was quite naive for not realizing he was a real villain, smiling on the surface but carrying a knife behind it.


    Instinctively, Chen Mobai believed that Lu Shu didn¡¯t know, he was probably fooled as well.


    Then, remembering the intrigues amongst loose cultivators in Tianhe Realm, he felt maybe he had misjudged people.


    With a multitude of thoughts, Chen Mobai finally calmed down using the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡±.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Luan. The book on these talisman drawing techniques, I got it from a street stall. I was quite attracted by its archaic style and thought I got a bargain, who could have imagined¡­¡±¡±


    Chen Mobai dared not tell Luan Jingsheng the truth and could only sigh, improvising a convincing reason.


    ¡°I will try to redraw them, correcting the strokes for you. Come find me tomorrow.¡±


    Luan Jingsheng was also a straightforward person. Since Chen Mobai sought his help, he was more than willing to lend a hand.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    At this, Chen Mobai could only express his gratitude again, and treated him to a meal.


    ¡°You should buy official teaching materials if you wish to study talisman-making.¡±


    ¡°I still have ¡®The Primordial Three Talisman Books¡¯ published by the Cinnabarite Institute. I can give them to you if needed.¡±


    ¡°As for these nameless products at the street stalls with no publication number, try to purchase fewer of such. They usually are counterfeits, meant to scam students who think they could find a treasure.¡±


    After several previous interactions, Luan Jingsheng treated Chen Mobai as a friend, and freely gave him advice during the meal.


    ¡°What Brother Luan said makes sense, I will not buy such things in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai said, his face hesitant. In the end, he couldn¡¯t resist and also handed over the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman notes given by Qi Rui, asking Luan Jingsheng to vet them for him.


    He simply couldn¡¯t trust cultivators from Tianhe Realm too much.


    ¡°Actually, the reason why I trusted that stall owner was that I did find something valuable.¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Crimson Flame Three Sword Talisman¡¯ that I used during the magic duel, which crossed against the ¡®Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡¯, I bought it from that stall. It even came with a drawing tutorial.¡±


    ¡°Could you help me to check this as well and see if there are any issues?¡±


    Luan Jingsheng was surprised to hear this. He had seen the spectacular scene of the ¡®Heaven Heart Sword Talisman¡¯ and the ¡®Crimson Flame Three Sword Talisman¡¯ matching up against each other on social media.


    However, he never thought that Chen Mobai had found it at a stall.


    His casually nonchalant attitude immediately became more serious as he picked up his phone to look at the screenshots of the drawing notes for the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman that Chen Mobai sent over.


    ¡°Based on the strokes alone, this rank-1 superior talisman doesn¡¯t seem to have the abruptness as the previous five. But whether it truly has no problems, I will only know after trying to draw it.¡±


    ¡°However, my skills are limited. I have only succeeded with three rank-1 superior talismans. If I want to learn this Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, I reckon I will need at least a month of full focus.¡±


    ¡°If it is not urgent for you, I can try drawing it for you once I finish refining my current talisman..¡±


    Chen Mobai declined immediately upon hearing this.


    ¡°How can I burden you for such a long time? With my current level, to learn to draw this Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, I would need at least one or two years of fundamental practice. I can slowly explore it by myself then.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Luan Jingsheng also nodded in agreement.


    Being a dual cultivator of talisman and artifact refining, he focused more on artifact refining.


    To completely master and practice this Crimson Flame Sword Talisman would indeed be a waste of time for him.


    The next day, Chen Mobai made a personal visit and collected the remaining four Life Talismans with corrected strokes from Luan Jingsheng. He even painstakingly drew out a sample for each, for Chen Mobai to refer to in case he didn¡¯t understand.


    Chen Mobai was deeply moved, but since it was inappropriate to reward him with Good Deed Points, he could only give him two vials of rank-1 superior Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Luan Jingsheng initially refused, but eventually accepted after much persuasion.


    When Chen Mobai left, Luan Jingsheng gave him his annotated ¡°Primordial Three Talisman Books¡±.¡±


    With the correct samples for reference,


    The standard of Chen Mobai in talisman making made considerable progress, managing to successfully draw all the five basic Life Talismans of the Divine Wood Sect within just ten days.


    He finally realized his talent in talisman making was actually not bad. The multiple failures in the past were solely due to being misled by the incorrect teaching materials.


    It was only fair to say that the situation in Tianhe Realm was too complex, and he was too naive.


    Having experienced this, Chen Mobai finally understood why the stores set up by major sects in the markets of Tianhe Realm sold their products at such high prices.


    At least, they guaranteed that their products were correct.

    If you bought cheaper cultivation techniques of the same name at the stalls, they might be the snares of those with ulterior motives, deliberately changed to harm loose cultivators.


    Tianhe Realm was indeed fraught with danger at every turn.


    Chen Mobai learned his lesson the hard way, but he was also grateful everything was not too late. Otherwise, he might have been tricked into practicing the ¡°Blackwater Cultivation¡±.


    Just when he was getting ready to go to Green Light Island to look for treasures again, Wu Wan came over with excitement radiating from his face.


    The sacrificial refining method for the ¡°White Jade Bell¡± had been figured out..

 Chapter 144 - Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Subdue God, Bewilder God_l

    Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Subdue God, Bewilder God_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Wu Wan had been busy identifying this pair of white jade bells all this time.


    With the help of professional equipment and consulting industry experts, he finally completed all the identification work yesterday.


    ¡°As expected, here.¡±


    Chen Mobai took the identification certificate from Wu Wan. When he opened it, he discovered that it was accompanied by more than a dozen sheets of paper.


    In addition to the raw materials, refining methods, usage years, and intactness of the white jade bells written on them, they also included the most critical rituals and usage methods.


    ¡°This pair of jade bells has different functions, one for Subduing God and one


    for Bewildering God.¡±


    ¡°The Subdue God function is more than just suppressing the mind to keep it in the most stable state, it also allows the user to better control the rapidly increasing Divine Sense within a short period.¡±


    ¡°As for Bewilder God, it makes those who hear the bell sound confused and irritated. If a cultivator with a low cultivation level hears it while meditating or cultivating Qi, it could even cause them to lose control and go mad.


    ¡°Of course, it appears that these bells have been overused. Although they look intact on the surface, under a microscope you can still see some cracks. Therefore, these two functions might have a limit, and it would be best not to exceed the Qi Cultivation level.¡±


    After Wu Wan gave a detailed introduction, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t wait to use the ritual method he had deduced to inject his spiritual power into the white jade bells.


    After a simple ritual, he activated the bells¡¯ functions.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    First there was ¡°Bewilder God¡±. The moment Chen Mobai heard the sound of the bell, he felt a feeling of nausea and dizziness.


    ¡°Amazing.¡±


    Keep in mind that although he was only at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, his Divine Sense was extremely stable, so stable that even Yang Jing¡¯s lethal move could not shake him. Yet just a single magic artifact made him feel overwhelmed.


    No wonder cultivators in the Tianhe Realm, no matter how low their cultivation level, equip themselves with a magic artifact.


    The gap in combat power between those with and without a magic artifact, especially at the Qi Cultivating Realm, is just too vast.


    Ding Dong!


    Chen Mobai then activated the ¡°Subdue God¡± bell. Immediately, both he and Wu Wan recovered from their dizziness. Their spirits were even more robust than before. It was as if they were refreshed after a deep sleep, their spirit was better


    than ever.


    ¡°Very good, better than I expected.¡±


    After playing with the beautiful and useful white jade bells which he couldn¡¯t put down, Chen Mobai satisfiedly paid Wu Wan the remaining appraisal fee. ¡°Master Wu, I have two more artifacts here that I need to trouble you with.¡± In the end, Chen Mobai brought out the brass ring and the blue handkerchief with a pattern he picked up from Green Light Island, and gave them to Wu Wan for appraisal.


    Faced with these, Wu Wan was initially taken aback, but quickly his face lit up with delight.


    This month, just these three contracts alone would earn him as much as he usually made in a quarter. This was because he didn¡¯t work at any major refineries and mainly worked by himself. Before, it was not common for him to get the job of appraising magic artifacts in a month.


    He put on gloves and took the blue handkerchief with a pattern from Chen Mobai.


    Unfolding the handkerchief, he found a slightly crude brass ring inside.


    After looking carefully, the blue handkerchief was not bad, just a Rank-1 intermediate-grade defensive magic artifact. Its power was probably the equivalent of a Wood Armor Talisman, but it could be reused.


    If Wu Wan was willing, he could appraise this blue handkerchief on the spot.


    However, this brass ring was a bit of a stumper for him.


    ¡°This material seems to be red copper mixed with other metals and smelted. Looking at the technique, it should be an ancient forging craftsmanship, not modern elemental blending. It may need to be tested with the particle determination machine at the Red Dawn Institution to determine all material proportions.¡±


    When Wu Wan said this, Chen Mobai was a bit worried.


    The origins of this item were a bit off to begin with. If it were taken to the laboratory at the Red Dawn Institution for material element testing, wouldn¡¯t it be possible that the material not found in the Immortal World could be exposed?


    ¡°If we don¡¯t test the materials, can we assess the third level and deduce the ritual and usage method of this artifact?¡±


    He asked and Wu Wan was mildly surprised, but since it was the client¡¯s request, he didn¡¯t say much and simply nodded.


    ¡°Usually, third-level assessment requires a material ratio report, but if you don¡¯t care about it, I won¡¯t pry any further. Compared to this, the ritual and usage method is relatively straightforward.


    ¡°Then that¡¯s settled. I¡¯m in a hurry to use these two artifacts, how soon can you finish the appraisal?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s say ten days. This handkerchief is not challenging, and there¡¯s only one ring. It will definitely be faster than the white jade bells.¡±


    Hearing Wu Wan¡¯s confident words, Chen Mobai nodded and directly sent the deposit to him.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go print the contract at the school gate. I didn¡¯t expect to pick up two more jobs coming over here, and I didn¡¯t prepare.


    Wu Wan first drafted an electronic version and let Chen Mobai check if there were any issues. Initially, Chen Mobai thought about not signing a contract since he was a bit concerned about leaving traces of artifacts from the Tianhe Realm here in the Immortal World.


    But after careful consideration, with a plethora of cultivators filled with strange ideas in the Immortal World and countless strange artifacts made for gaining attention on video websites, he just presented three normal artifacts. There¡¯s no need to be so apprehensive.


    Moreover, if he didn¡¯t sign a contract with Wu Wan, given his shrewd nature, he could guess that there¡¯s something wrong with the origins of these artifacts.


    It¡¯s better to follow the regular process.


    It avoids any suspicion.


    After signing the contract, they called Luan Jingsheng over and the three of them had dinner together.


    After that, Chen Mobai returned to his cave dwelling and focused on transferring to the Pure Yang Scroll and drawing symbols.


    The blue handkerchief was quickly appraised, and as expected, it was for defense. It didn¡¯t even need a special ritual or method of use, just inject the spiritual power, and it would turn into a blue square shield.


    The area depended on the user¡¯s spiritual power, at its maximum, it could cover the entire person.

    But the brass ring was a bit troublesome. Wu Wan underestimated this artifact, and it wasn¡¯t until a half-month later, with dark circles under his eyes, that he completed the third-tier appraisal.


    This was an artifact for condensing Sword Qi, quite suitable for cultivators with Gold Attribute Spirit Power. After injecting spiritual power in a specific way, it would emit a fierce Sword Light.


    Chen Mobai gave it a try and its power was equivalent to a Rank-1 high-grade Red Flame Sword Card.


    However, it consumed a fair amount of spiritual power. With his realm, he could only activate it seven times at most.


    ¡°Although I haven¡¯t tested it, I feel that the maximum limit of this ring should be nine swords in a row. It¡¯s even possible that like the Three Swords Card you used during the Magic Duel, once the nine Sword Lights come out together, they can form a subtle change, triggering a more powerful Sword Qi.¡± Wu Wan wrote everything he had appraised on the certification, and after Chen Mobai read it, he couldn¡¯t help but admire his professionalism..

 Chapter 145 - Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Half a Year_l

    Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Half a Year_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Half a year passed by in a flash.


    During Chen Mobai¡¯s transition to the Pure Yang Scroll, he encountered several problems he couldn¡¯t solve on his own. But under the guidance of the man in the red robe, he finally established the foundation of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    ¡°Well done, now all you need to do is to cultivate the Pure Yang Qi Cultivation in an orderly manner, and transform the remaining Five Elements Cultivation spiritual power in your Qi Sea,¡± said the man.


    On a certain mountain peak in Cinnabarite Institute, the man in the red robe retracted his hand that had been pressing on Chen Mobai¡¯s Dantian, seemingly relieved, and gave him a slight nod.


    ¡°It¡¯S been hard on you during this period, master,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai immediately stood up from his meditation mat and thanked the


    Golden Core master standing in front of him.


    ¡ö¡¯As a teacher of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, it¡¯s my responsibility to guide you,¡± the man in the red robe responded with a slight shake of his head, accepting Chen Mobai¡¯s salute without moving.


    ¡°Master, did you cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll too?¡±


    Over the past six months, Chen Mobai realized that the man in the red robe had a deep understanding of the Pure Yang Scroll, which made him wonder if the man had practiced this cultivation technique before.


    ¡°During my Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment stages, I indeed practiced the Pure Yang Scroll. But in order to have more time for my Core Formation, I switched to Scorching Heaven Cultivation, which is derived from the Pure Yang Scroll.¡±


    The man in the red robe spoke of his cultivation journey without hesitation. He had ranked first in Red Sandstone City and entered the Dance Tool Dao Academy a hundred years ago, practicing Five Elements Cultivation at that time.


    After entering the academy, 36 students chose to transfer to the Pure Yang Scroll like him. However, only he and another cultivator named ¡°Little Sun¡± succeeded in Core Formation.


    His success was attributed to his realization that if he wanted to break through his realm and improve his Fire Spirit Root attributes with Pure Yang Daoist Body cultivation, he might ultimately die of old age.


    Therefore, he made the decisive decision to focus on Scorching Heaven Cultivation to improve the realm after establishing his foundation, without further cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    Such resolve allowed him, who used to be just an ordinary talent among his peers, to succeed in forming his Core on his first attempt, and now he even has the possibility of Nascent Soul Formation.


    ¡°Master, are you warning me not to be too obsessed with the reputation of the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s Divinity Transformation technique, and be ready to give it up without hesitation if I find I may not break through my realm before I exhaust my lifespan?¡± Chen Mobai thought he had understood the meaning of the red-robed sage¡¯s words, but the latter simply laughed and shook his head. ¡°Don¡¯t overthink it. For you, the most important thing is to establish your foundation now. To be honest, your progress is much slower than I expected. You should have abolished all the foundation of your Five Elements Cultivation in half a year. However, you¡¯ve only reached the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation.¡± ¡°Yes, master,¡± replied Chen Mobai, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Although his Spiritual Root Talent was only considered average among the students in Cinnabarite Institute, the red-robed sage¡¯s guidance had helped him replace the root of his Five Elements Cultivation with Pure Yang spiritual power, and he had only just reached the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation a day before.


    His Five Elements Cultivation realm remained at the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation, partly due to his mediocre Spirit Root and partly because the transition to the Pure Yang Scroll was too slow. However, it was also because he had been using Qi-replenishing Spirit Water to enhance himself every day.


    This was a method taught by the man in the red robe, who noticed from the very beginning that Chen Mobai¡¯s Five Elements Cultivation spiritual power, boosted by Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, had an unstable foundation and that it was rather insubstantial.


    Noticing this, the red-robed sage did not let Chen Mobai cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll to absorb spiritual energy to increase his spiritual power. Instead, he had Chen Mobai maintain the root of his Five Elements Cultivation with Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, and then transform it into Pure Yang spiritual power using the method he taught. In this way, the root of the Pure Yang Scroll that he cultivated would be solid and beyond compare.


    It was like loose soil being compacted by a road roller, becoming incredibly firm and extraordinarily pure.


    ¡°Very well. After this, unless there¡¯s something else, we shouldn¡¯t meet again. Our connection ends here,¡± the man in the red robe said, looking at the fully risen sun in the horizon. After extracting the rising Purple Qi for cultivation that day, he got up and stepped into the clouds above the mountain peak.


    ¡°Even though master didn¡¯t officially take me as a disciple, I¡¯ve considered you my mentor in my heart,¡± said Chen Mobai, respectfully bowing to the figure disappearing into the clouds.


    When he looked up, the man in the red robe was nowhere in sight. In fact, they had only met six times in the past six months.


    However, every time the man in the red robe appeared, he was able to easily solve the doubts in Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation, even providing a wake-up call, and giving him direction in his cultivation.


    Chen Mobai truly wished he could improve himself under the man in red robe¡¯s guidance forever, if possible.


    Regrettably, happy times were always short-lived. Today was the day he was leaving the Cinnabarite Institute. In addition to his six month period being up, it was also New Year¡¯s Eve the next day.


    And a month after the New Year, the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s semester would start, and Chen Mobai had to prepare to leave Red Sandstone City for Crimson City!


    The academic year in universities was different from elementary and high schools, as the curriculum was year-round. Therefore, Chen Mobai was able to stay at the Cinnabarite Institute without worry for half a year. However, he was also privileged to receive tutelage from the faculty of the Dance Tool Dao Academy in advance. Not all new students were fortunate enough to receive the attention of the Golden Core masters, offering one-on-one instruction, for half a year.


    With the New Year approaching, there were no students left in the Cinnabarite Institute.


    Shen Juanxiu and Luan Jingsheng had both gone home half a month ago. One of them, Chanshi, who was from another region, bought a ticket and left a month ago.


    After packing his things, Chen Mobai pocketed a stack of charm papers he had drawn and put them on the table, then went to the dutiful teacher on duty to check out.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget your belongings,¡± the teacher on duty reminded him after taking back the key.


    ¡°Thank you, sir. I have everything with me.¡±


    After eating breakfast at the school gate, Chen Mobai caught the earliest coach and, after almost two hours of twists and turns, finally arrived home. Unfortunately, Chen Xinglan couldn¡¯t make it home for the New Year. After Chen Mobai passed the entry into the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Xinglan seemed to have let go of all his worries. Buying enough Fasting Pills for two years of use, he directly applied for closed-door cultivation at Red Dawn Institution.


    Tang Panchui, though reluctant to let him go, knew how to prioritize and has since then discouraged Chen Mobai from disturbing Chen Xinglan without reason, so the latter could focus on his cultivation.


    At this, Chen Mobai could only smile bitterly, as he was hoping to help his father exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.


    Unfortunately, he hasn¡¯t even joined the Divine Wood Sect yet, let alone successfully joining as a formal disciple. According to the rules, he would have to become True Inheritance, only after 10 years would he be eligible for the exchange.

    ¡°This year it¡¯s just you and me for the New Year,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t grandma and grandpa coming over?¡± he asked.


    ¡°They are used to living near the mountains and don¡¯t want to come to Red Sandstone City,¡± she explained.


    Chen Mobai felt it was a shame after hearing that.


    After dinner, Chen Mobai went upstairs. He teleported to Green Light Island, but he didn¡¯t come to collect items, he was preparing to leave and head back to the Water Mansion..

 Chapter 146 - Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Leaving the Island_l

    Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Leaving the Island_l


    Translator: 549690339


    After half a year of exploration, Chen Mobai had traversed every corner of Green Light Island.


    Three months ago, the flock of Black Plague Birds that once lurked around the island left, as the food in this area had been depleted.


    With no more concerns, Chen Mobai thoroughly searched the important markets and areas where the teleportation arrays were located.


    The most significant find was a storage bag he found in the ruins of a collapsed market.


    He didn¡¯t know whose ill-fated property it was. The owner might have left it there, fearing it would draw attention during a battle, only to lose it when the entire Green Light Island fell.


    Unfortunately, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know how to open it and he dared not ask any questions at the Immortal Sect.


    So, it remained in his hand, waiting for an opportunity in the future, perhaps after joining the Divine Wood Sect, to figure it out.


    In addition to the unopenable storage bag, there were other intact magic artifacts: a black iron stick, a curved knife, an axe, five crossbows, and sixteen bottles of elixir.


    Chen Mobai gathered the elixirs and stored them in his cave.


    The rest were handed to Wu Wan for appraisal, and it turned out that apart from the valuable materials used, these artifacts were crudely forged and functioned just like ordinary weapons¡ªall it took was to infuse them with spiritual power.


    Since the items were large and cumbersome, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t be bothered to take them off the island, so he turned them all over to Wu Wan.


    They were sold for a total of 138,000 Good Deed Points, which amounted to a fair reward for his half-year of hard work.


    Now on his account, including the 200,000 from Shen Juanxiu, minus the investments spent on drawing symbols over the past six months, he had a total of 320,000 Good Deed Points, which is quite a decent sum.


    However, during this half year, due to dabbling on Green Light Island, collecting items, and transferring to the Pure Yang Scroll, he hadn¡¯t been able to fully commit to snatching the three treasures for Foundation Establishment on the Immortal Sect¡¯s website, otherwise, his assets could have doubled.


    Yet, perhaps it all worked out for the best. After all, if he kept succeeding in winning the auctions, he would no longer be seen as simply lucky and might even draw official attention.


    Chen Mobai had searched every inch of the surface of Green Light Island over the past six months, feeling there might still be something buried underground, but he couldn¡¯t possibly tear up the entire island.


    Moreover, the Divine Wood Sect was about to start recruiting Loose Cultivators soon, so he couldn¡¯t waste any more time here.


    Therefore, he decided to leave.


    Using the Spirit Tree, he made the simplest of rafts. Armed with sixteen bottles of elixir that he had found on the island, he left the deserted island that held many memories.


    Opening the Turtle Treasure, the mostly blank map came into view.


    After careful consideration, Chen Mobai decided to go to the island run by Southstream Market first.


    Who knew what the situation there was?


    Was it also eradicated during the demonic beast frenzy?


    If the teleportation arrays there were also destroyed, it would take Chen Mobai nearly a month of drifting in the Cloud Dream Marsh before he could return to land.


    With a compass he had purchased from the Immortal Sect, and cross-referencing the map in the Turtle Treasure, Chen Mobai began his journey alone on the raft.


    The trip from Green Light Island would take three days.


    By dawn, he found a reef to disembark, anchored the raft, and clicked on the ¡°return to city¡± option.


    After spending a peaceful New Year with his mother, Tang Panchui, they went to his aunt and uncle¡¯s house. When the elders started playing mahjong, he took his sister, Wang Xinying, to watch a New Year blockbuster.


    The story was about a young man who fought against heaven and earth, ultimately saving his wife and having a happy life together.


    Chen Mobai forgot the plot as soon as the movie ended, while Wang Xinying was engrossed, still recounting the protagonist¡¯s perseverance and loyalty to love as they left.


    ¡°By the way, bro, where¡¯s that beautiful sister-in-law from last time? Why haven¡¯t you brought her home yet?¡±


    Wang Xinying¡¯s words caught Chen Mobai off guard.


    ¡°I told you, we¡¯re just friends.¡±


    ¡°I understand¡­¡±


    Seeing his sister¡¯s barely suppressed laughter, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but give her double buns a rub. As she squealed in surprise, he laughed heartily and ran off.


    The joyful banter between the siblings filled the New Year with festivity.


    However, Wang Xinying¡¯s words did remind Chen Mobai of something.


    Indeed, he hadn¡¯t contacted Qing Nu in a while.


    He wondered how she was doing recently.


    Had she completed the concoction of the Fire Clearing Pill?


    Yang Jing¡¯s injuries should be healed, right?


    With these questions in mind, he decided to give her a call.


    The next day, they were back at the grilled fish restaurant.


    ¡°Here you go!¡±


    Qing Nu gave Chen Mobai a large bottle of pills.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Fire Clearing Pill.¡±


    ¡°You made it?¡±


    ¡°I failed countless times at first, couldn¡¯t even extract the medicinal materials correctly. Later, I asked for help from Teacher Shang Qing. She brought a professional alchemist from Bao Ping Pharmacy to teach me for half a month. She also rented me a lower-grade Rank-2 caldron. After ruining seven batches of raw materials, I achieved success.¡±


    Qing Nu spoke of her hardships in alchemy, but once she succeeded in concocting the Fire Clearing Pill, everything had been smooth sailing for her.


    All the successful Fire Clearing Pills she had prepared in the past six months were in that bottle.


    ¡°Did you keep any for yourself?¡±


    As Chen Mobai took the bottle and counted the pills using his Divine Sense, he was surprised to find there were 24 pills.


    ¡°No, after all, we had agreed that all the successful pills belong to you.¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head; she was more than satisfied from gaining mastery in alchemy skills.


    ¡°The 300,000 Good Deed Points I earned from betting, after deducting handling fees, were used to purchase materials for 14 batches of Fire Clearing Pills. I have 12,000 Good Deed Points left over, I will transfer to you.¡±


    ¡°No need, didn¡¯t I already say it before? I wanted to give you a hardship allowance. Consider it as a reward for your alchemy.¡±


    Chen Mobai refused to accept the money. When Qing Nu¡¯s teacher was arrested and she lost her source of income, he had stated that each successful pill represented a reward which could be seen as a sponsorship for her studies at Jumang Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Then let me not hold back.¡±


    Qing Nu didn¡¯t hesitate upon hearing this, she thanked him and accepted the money.


    ¡°Oh, by the way, can I buy a Fire Clearing Pill from you?¡±


    After the grilled fish arrived, Qing Nu suddenly made a request that surprised Chen Mobai.


    ¡°You could have easily given me one less, and I wouldn¡¯t have known.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not that kind of person.¡±


    A bit angry, Qing Nu pouted. Chen Mobai quickly apologized, opened the pill bottle, and poured out a pill for her.


    ¡°I¡¯m buying it for Yang Jing. She is having some trouble with her Divine Sense after practicing the Twofold Divine Technique.¡±


    Having said this, Qing Nu transferred 5,000 Good Deed Points to Chen Mobai.


    While Chen Mobai wanted to refuse, Qing Nu insisted that he take the money.


    Seeing her resolve, Chen Mobai had no choice but to accept.

    ¡°Oh, you guys got here first.¡±


    At this time, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s voice sounded from behind them.


    Next to her, Mo Simin was staring in surprise at Chen Mobai and Qing Nu who were already seated.


    ¡°The friends you were talking about having lunch with, it¡¯s these two?¡±


    Mo Simin asked her good friend with a stiff face. Yan Bingxuan nodded slightly and pulled her to sit down..

    Translator: 549690339                  ¡ª


    This meal had a strange taste for Mo Simin.


    Qing Nu also looked a bit odd.


    Only Chen Mobai and Van Bingxuan were unaware, thoroughly enjoying their meal.


    This was a Spirit Fish Chen Mobai had caught specifically from Yun Meng Ze. The meat was tender and delicious; paired with the boss¡¯s secret recipe, the taste was outstanding.


    ¡°By the way, when are you planning to leave?¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally referred to the time of departure to the Daoist Academy. The Crimson City cave dwelling he was going to was not too far from Red Sandstone City. With an express train, it would probably only take a day and a night.


    ¡°I might leave early. As I have direct admission, there are some processes to go through.¡±


    While eating and speaking, Qing Nu glanced at Chen Mobai who was completely unobservant.


    ¡°I¡¯ll also go early.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan was also directly admitted to the Nature Studies Academy by her aunt.


    I might be a bit later since I am nearby.¡±


    Class president Mo Simin was lucky; though she had a mediocre entrance exam score, she was still admitted by the Heavenly Book Academy.


    Chen Mobai asked about the situation of others.


    It was a pity that Song Zheng did not receive an admission notice from the Primordial Elemental Academy and ultimately went to the Heavenly Book Academy, just like Mo Simin.


    Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling agreed to go to the Spiritual Treasure Academy. It was said that Cao Yaling had originally received an admission notice from the Astral Observation Academy, but she made this choice to not separate from Shi Jingjing.


    As for Xu Yuan and Shi Yuanqing, the latter also wanted to choose the same academy as Xu Yuan, but was rejected by him.


    In the end, under the repeated persuasion of family and friends, Shi Yuanqing still went to the Primordial Elemental Academy. He achieved the best results in his grade, second only to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Can my sister go with you? It would be nice for her to have company.¡± Qing Nu suddenly asked Yan Bingxuan, who was momentarily startled. Chen Mobai quickly explained that Qing Nu¡¯s sister was Yang Jing. Yan Bingxuan and Mo Simin¡¯s expression was the same as Chen Mobai¡¯s initial shock.


    No problem. My master asked me to take her when she left.¡±


    Hearing this, Qing Nu thanked Yan Bingxuan with a nod.


    Originally, Qing Nu intended for Yang Jing to go to the Imperial Medical Academy, but Ning Anning said, ¡°Physicians can¡¯t heal themselves.¡±


    After the three of them pondered, they ultimately decided to let Yang Jing go to the Nature Studies Academy to seek a method to solve her own problems through the cultivation technique. Kong Feichen chose the Imperial Medical Academy, and with his achievements, he soon received an admission notice.


    Yan Qiongzhi from the Nature Studies Academy regretted Kong Feichen¡¯s choice. However, considering he did it for his sister, she expressed understanding.


    Furthermore, Chen Mobai¡¯s two rivals, Gong Xiangyu, went to the True Spiritual Academy, and Yan Feng went to the Mountain and Sea Academy. The two had already chosen their paths. When they couldn¡¯t attend one of the four main Daoist academies, they didn¡¯t choose the most famous Primordial and Pure Yang, but instead chose the academy that best suited the advancement of their cultivation technique.


    They were all individuals with strong will power!


    It was rumored that they were quite unwilling to accept their defeat at the hands of someone.


    ¡°Hope that when we meet next time, we have all reached the Foundation Establishment.¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai expressed his sincere wishes for their parting.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Qing Nu replied with a smile.


    ¡°In that case, we may not see each other again for ten or twenty years.¡± Yan Bingxuan wiped her mouth expressionlessly, uttering a dark joke. She would need several years at least to improve her Ice Spirit Root. By the time she was ready to make the strike to attain Foundation Establishment, it could really be that long.


    As for the class president Mo Simin, although she was short of confidence, she nodded nonetheless.


    No one didn¡¯t aspire to reach Foundation Establishment.


    Even if it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.


    After chatting for a while longer, everyone went their separate ways home. In the following days, Chen Mobai met up with his desk mate Lu Hongsheng the two girls seated at the front, Yu Shu and Pu Jiangxue, Song Zheng and other classmates to say their goodbyes.


    As for the Tianhe Realm, after three days of drifting, he finally arrived at the island operated by the Southstream Market.


    Here, you could clearly see the traces of the demonic beasts¡¯ attack, but, fortunately, there were still human traces remaining.


    As soon as Chen Mobai¡¯s raft drew near, it was stopped by two cultivators.


    Only after negotiation and explaining the situation was he permitted to land on the island.


    Brother, you really are lucky. Of the sixty-six markets in the outskirts of Yun Meng Ze, twenty-four have been overrun by demonic beasts. There are a handful of people who survived the destruction of the islands. You¡¯re the third one we¡¯ve met here,¡± a cultivator said with a sigh after confirming that Chen Mobai was a human and not a transformed demonic beast.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the situation to deteriorate to this extent. To my shame, I hid in a cave I dug myself for a full half a year after the destruction of Green Light Island, only daring to emerge when I completely ran out of supplies.¡±


    ¡°Oh, it seems there were no Seeking Spirit Birds among the group of demonic beasts that overran Green Light Island.¡±


    This cultivator surnamed Liu was from the cultivation family of the Southstream Market.


    Chen Mobai asked what a Seeking Spirit Bird was.


    ¡°Much like the Treasure Hunting Rat, this type of demonic beast is extremely sensitive to spiritual energy.¡±


    ¡°Rank-2 and above demonic beasts possess spiritual wisdom. They know that powerful spiritual objects can bring about their transformation, so stronger demonic beasts typically keep a Seeking Spirit Bird by their side.¡±


    ¡°Every time the demonic beasts overrun a cultivators¡¯ market, they go through every corner with a Seeking Spirit Bird, sweeping up all objects with spiritual properties. We cultivators, being mobile sources of spiritual power, cannot escape the detection of a Seeking Spirit Bird.¡±


    It was for this reason that the cultivator surnamed Liu thought that Chile Mobai was able to avoid disaster following the fall of Green Light Island because the group of beasts that attacked did not own a Seeking Spirit Bird.


    Chen Mobai was not aware of this. No wonder he had searched the island for half a year only to find a few items. They had already been swept through by the bear of demonic beasts.


    The magic artifacts he found must have been missed by the demonic beasts.


    Is the teleportation array in the market still functional?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to continue speaking in fear of again revealing any flaws. He immediately changed the topic.


    -It¡¯s not usable anymore, it was destroyed by the demonic beasts. The array master who can repair the teleportation array won¡¯t be able to come until next year. If you want to go back to Southstream Market, you¡¯ll have to take our Liu family¡¯s boat and then transfer to the Luo family¡¯s Spirit Camel on the mainland, or you can walk there yourself.¡±


    The cultivator surnamed Liu shook his head.


    Unlike the high and mighty seven sects, these cultivation families, realizing that the beasts were about to attack, promptly packed up their spirit stones and strategically transferred them to the mainland via the teleportation array, effectively giving up the island.


    After the demonic beasts arrived on the island, they could only destroy the buildings since there were no spiritual objects left for them.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The teleportation array was the only valuable thing, but the demonic beasts didn¡¯t understand formations and didn¡¯t dare to teleport to the cultivators¡¯ base on the mainland, so they just destroyed it.


    Chen Mobai was lucky, the team from Southstream Market had just arrived at the island this month.


    If he had come earlier, he would have only seen a ruined desert island.


    ¡°Did the Wind and Rain post at the center of Yun Meng Ze fall? How else could the demonic beasts wreak such havoc?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words caused the cultivator surnamed Liu to shake his head and sigh..

 Chapter 148 - Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Rank-3 Demonic beasts_l

    Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Rank-3 Demonic beasts_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°The situation at Storm Fort is alright, but outside of it, things have gone awry.¡±


    The cultivator surnamed Liu sighed.


    Originally, the main forces of the seven major sects were suppressing the Nascent Soul demon beast in the Storm Fort, but unbeknownst to them, a new demon beast that had just broken through to Rank-3 suddenly appeared on the periphery of Yun Meng Ze.


    This demon beast didn¡¯t show off after its breakthrough, but it began to command the hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts outside of Yun Meng Ze to besiege the sixty-six Fang Markets of the seven major sects.


    When Elder Fu of the Divine Wood Sect arrived at Storm Fort, all the markets on the outside thought that the game was up and relaxed their vigilance.


    It was at this very moment that this long-hidden Rank-3 demon beast began its attack.


    In a single day and night, it broke the large formation of twelve markets and scattered the spirit veins that the seven major sects had cultivated with great difficulty with its innate divine abilities.


    However, thanks to the demon beast focusing most of its attention on breaking the array, the surging invasion of demonic beasts outside carried out the attacks, whilst it quickly moved on to the sixty-six markets on the periphery of Yun Meng Ze.


    But the response from the side of the seven major sects was swift too, they couldn¡¯t let this rank-3 demon beast do as it pleased.


    A few Gold Core Elders received the news and immediately arrived at Storm Fort through the teleportation array, then jointly deployed a magic artifact capable of detecting strong demon beasts, locking onto its aura.


    In order to resolve things swiftly, Elder Fu from the Divine Wood Sect even used a Rank-4 Wind Escape Talisman, and Elder Mo of the Golden Cliff intercepted the newly promoted Rank-3 demon beast in a very short period of time.


    Unexpectedly, the strength of this demon beast was surprisingly powerful, a direct descendant of the Nascent Soul demon beast that was suppressed by Hun Yuan Elder in the past. Although the two Gold Core Elders could overpower it, they were unable to kill it.


    The fierce battle lasted for three days and nights. The surrounding waters within dozens of miles were blasted into a wasteland by them. In the end, it was Elder Mo of the Golden Cliff who used his life¡¯s magic sword at the cost of his vital essence and severely wounded this demon beast.


    Then there was a pursuit that lasted for a month, and even two Gold Core Elders exited Storm Fort, wanting to kill off this unlimited potential rank-3 demon beast, nipping the problem in the bud.


    But at this moment, the seal in the heart of Yun Meng Ze began to stir. The Nascent Soul demon beast that had not appeared for a long time personally attacked the seal left by Hun Yuan Elder.


    In the end, the four Gold Core Elders had to give up the pursuit and withdrew back to the Storm Fort.


    After all, if they allowed the Nascent Soul demon beast to emerge, their seven major sects would probably have to abandon the Eastern Wilderness and go far away.


    They, cultivators who had lived for over a hundred years, naturally understood which mattered more.


    After Chen Mobai listened to the words of the cultivator surnamed Liu, he finally understood why Green Light Island was breached.


    A Rank-3 demon beast, coupled with innate divine powers that could specifically shatter spirit veins, indeed couldn¡¯t be resisted by a Fang Market guarded by only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    At this moment, he couldn¡¯t help but feel glad that he wasn¡¯t there at the time; otherwise, he might not have been able to find an eight-second gap in the tide of beast invasion and teleported back to the Celestial Gate.


    ¡°Wait, does that mean that that Rank-3 demon beast could come back at any time? Isn¡¯t it unsafe here too? ¡±


    Upon further thought, Chen Mobai¡¯s face changed slightly.


    He realized that this island could possibly repeat the same mistake, and now even the teleportation array was damaged. If attacked by demonic beasts, they would be sitting ducks.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about this. If the seven major sects hadn¡¯t resolved the problem, how would we dare to return?¡±


    Cultivator Liu revealed another piece of news. Namely, the seven major sects announced last month that they had driven out the rank-3 beast from Yun Meng Ze.


    Because of this, their family of cultivators dared to send people over to rebuild this trade route.


    After all, the spiritual objects produced from Yun Meng Ze in the entire Eastern Wilderness account for more than thirty percent of what all cultivators use daily.


    If they were to abandon this place, it would not only wreak havoc upon the cultivator families, but also cause serious distress to the Seven Major Sects.


    Although the Seven Major Sects did not disclose how exactly they expelled the Rank-3 Demon Beast, their credibility remains quite high in the hearts of cultivators from all over the Eastern Wilderness. Therefore, the cultivators who had fled Yun Meng Ze earlier have gradually begun to return.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt relieved.


    He had just begun to familiarize himself with the Eastern Wilderness, so if a monster were to break out of Yun Meng Ze, wouldn¡¯t his plan to join the Divine Wood Sect get thwarted? He would then be forced to seek refuge in other domains of the Tianhe Realm.


    Upon reaching the island, Chen Mobai registered his name.


    A group of new cultivators had recently arrived from the Southstream Market, and their fleet was undergoing repairs, with an expected return voyage in about three days.


    Without hesitating, he paid the fare of three Spirit Stones and secured his ticket. The price had tripled compared to before, but without any choice, to go back by himself would be too time-consuming. Furthermore, he couldn¡¯t rule out the possibility of encountering demonic beasts on the waterway¨Cfor security reasons, it was better to move with the large group.


    Chen Mobai strolled around the island, noting how rapidly the cultivators constructed huts. The market that was previously destroyed was slowly taking shape again.


    Regrettably, the trading volume was very low, with just a few stalls set up.


    Chen Mobai made some inquiries and found that the prices of magic artifacts and talismans had plummeted. The prices of elixirs had also fallen a little bit, but they remained relatively firm. Some elixirs for healing wounds or enhancing cultivation levels had even begun to surge in price following the onslaught of the demonic beasts.


    Because many people have realized that cultivation level is the key.


    Therefore, many surviving Loose Cultivators, instead of hoarding their Spirit Stones, started to buy large amounts of elixirs that enhance cultivation levels.


    As for the healing elixirs, it goes without saying that several cultivators, despite having escaped from the island during the monster attack, had paid a heavy price.


    Chen Mobai recalled the sixteen bottles of elixirs he brought from Green Light Island. He glanced at the labels and found that most of them were for boosting cultivation levels, while a small portion without labels were likely produced by those nameless alchemists.


    Unfortunately, the shops of the major cultivator families on this island haven¡¯t opened yet, and the Loose Cultivators selling elixirs at the stalls did not have enough Spirit Stones to buy the sixteen bottles in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands.


    He would have to wait until he returned to Southstream Market to sell them slowly.


    After strolling around, Chen Mobai rented a room to stay in.


    Three days later, he took his ticket to the shore only to spot a familiar face.


    ¡°Daoist He, I didn¡¯t expect to run into you here.¡±


    He Qun, who was already on the ship, was a little surprised at seeing Chen Mobai. However, he was in a terrible state, having lost one of his hands, his complexion looked much more aged than before, full of wrinkles.


    ¡°Daoist Chen.¡±


    Both men, having only met once before, just exchanged greetings and took their respective seats on the ship.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai noticed that He Qun was alone. He remembered the seven-member team that He Qun had mentioned earlier. They must have suffered heavy losses in the monster attack, with only He Qun escaping with his life.


    He wondered which market they had gone to.


    Previously, he was a bit wary of He Qun, but now he thought it might have been Lu Shu¡¯s words that had influenced him, making him overly suspicious.


    Ever since knowing that Lu Shu had tampered with the Symbol Making Tips he had given him, Chen Mobai began to review all his previous conversations with him, at least no longer blindly trusting him.


    In this Tianhe Realm, one must maintain a suspicious attitude towards everyone..

 Chapter 149 - Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Casting Sword Ring l

    Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Casting Sword Ring l


    Translator: 549690339


    That day, Chen Mobai was in his seat, eyes closed, nurturing his thoughts and casting his spirit.


    Suddenly, a violent shaking occurred, causing his body to sway uncontrollably. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    All the cultivators on the ship rose, making their way to the windows.


    ¡°A group of Water Snake demonic beasts are attacking us. We could use your help.¡±


    Two cultivators from the Liu family entered, speaking gravely to all.


    Subsequently, they approached the Cultivators on board with the highest levels of Qi Cultivation, and in a moment, one was at Chen Mobai¡¯s side.


    ¡°Brother Chen, would you be willing to help? We would reimburse your fare.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately nodded.


    He understood the principles of shared glory and shared defeat.


    If the ship capsized now, he was likely to find survival in the vast Cloud Dream marshes extremely difficult, and might be forced to flee back to the Immortal Gate.


    Inside the cabin, twelve Qi Practitioners in the later stages of cultivation, ten of them, along with the Liu family cultivator, reached the deck.


    Chen Mobai glanced at the two who didn¡¯t come out, one seemed wounded, pale-faced. The other was He Qun, who had lost one hand, severely handicapped in battle, and could be said to be severely injured.


    ¡°Everyone, please stand on either side of the ship¡¯s exterior. This Ice Breaking Ship is a joint product of Liu Jia Mountain and Shake Mountain Peak. It can withstand both magic attacks and physical attacks from demonic beasts but needs intermediate grade Spirit Stones to power its source. I only have a few left. To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, we need to find an opportunity to repel or kill this group of demonic beasts.¡±


    The lead Liu family cultivator on the ship was named Liu Yongnian, with a Qi Cultivation Level of nine layers.


    After briefly explaining the situation, he immediately directed Chen Mobai and the other nine to their positions.


    The mention of intermediate grade Spirit Stones surprised Chen Mobai.


    In their normal trades at the Fang Market, they used low-grade Spirit Stones. To exchange for intermediate grade Spirit Stones, one would need a hundred low-grade ones.


    All Spirit Stone Mines in the Eastern Wilderness were monopolized by the seven sects, and what flowed into the outside world were mostly lower-grade Spirit Stones. After all, these intermediate grade Spirit Stones are used by Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage to cultivate Qi, and even the seven sects themselves found it insufficient.


    The Liu family, indeed worthy of being one of the four major Immortal Cultivation families in Yun Country, managed to obtain intermediate grade Spirit Stones, although it¡¯s also possible they were given when they bought the ship.


    Realizing this, Chen Mobai understood why the ticket was so expensive, considering the significant investment the Liu family put into obtaining this ship.


    Amid the humming noise.


    Chen Mobai looked up to see an earthy-yellow light shield light up, enclosing the entire ship.


    At the same time, nearly dozens of blackish-blue water snakes probed their heads out of the water off the ship¡¯s side, opening their huge mouths, and spewed waves of water in their direction.


    Accompanied by the chilling whistle, the water waves fell on the ship like rows of sword light, blanketing the sky.


    However, the earthy-yellow light shield blocked all attacks.


    But after two rounds, the light shield began to dim slightly. Liu Yongnian begrudgingly took out an intermediate grade Spirit Stone and had his nephew replace the spent one.


    ¡°Everyone, it will still take three days to reach shore. If we let this group of beasts attack continuously, we might attract other demonic beasts. Please join me in a counterattack.¡±


    After finishing this, Liu Yongnian was the first to leave the Ice Breaking Ship, riding a Flying Sword to fight against a distinctively large black snake.


    Chen Mobai waited a moment. Until half of them had begun to leave the protection of the light shield and battle the water snakes, he followed suit.


    First, he slapped a floating charm on himself, then shot a hidden-yellow Flying Needle from his sleeve into the eyes and vital points of two large snakes that were opening their mouths to bite him.


    Blood splattered everywhere.


    All the Flying Needles penetrated the bodies of the water snakes. However, the vitality of the demon beasts was so tenacious that it was totally different from humans.


    Or rather, the damage from the needle pricks wasn¡¯t fatal enough for them.


    As two gaping mouths lunged at him, Chen Mobai swiftly pulled out a blue handkerchief.


    A large blue shield materialized in front of him, blocking the two Cold Snakes that, having been injured, were now in a frenzied state.


    ¡°Perfect time to test out these three magic artifacts.¡±


    Seeing the snakes get blocked by the blue shield and then becoming even more enraged, they began to coil around him, trying to bypass his defenses. Chen Mobai raised his right hand.


    He rubbed the brass ring on his middle finger with his thumb, injecting spiritual power into it.


    Golden light flickered!


    It seemed as if a sword had glided over the water easily, severing the two Water Snakes that had just coiled themselves around him.


    ¡°Not bad, but it consumes a lot of spiritual power.¡±


    Chen Mobai glanced at the results of the battle, his eyes lighting up. However, after sensing the spiritual power within his body, he shook his head slightly.


    Inside the cabin, He Qun, who watched this scene through the window, narrowed his eyes slightly.


    He had a memory of this brass ring, it seemed to be a sword casting ring from the Golden Cliff.


    These people outside were generally experienced individuals who had fought with demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze. They were Qi Practitioners in the latter stages, including even two who were at the ninth level of Qi cultivation. With the Ice Breaking Ship backing them up, they could retreat onto it at any time if they could not hold on. Naturally, they had won a complete victory in this battle.


    Chen Mobai tested the power of the brass ring and blue handkerchief once again. Since the white jade bell was for group attacks and couldn¡¯t be controlled, he didn¡¯t use it.


    After killing two more Water Snakes, the rest scattered in fear.


    However, the leading black snake was firmly entwined by Liu Yongnian and couldn¡¯t escape.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai and the others didn¡¯t miss this opportunity. They all rushed over using their various techniques. Ten spells were bombarded together, directly killing this rank-1 peak demonic beast.


    ¡°Thanks for your help, everyone. I will send someone to pay for your boat tickets soon.¡±


    After returning to the boat, Liu Yongnian first thanked Chen Mobai and the others, then beckoned his nephew and began to refund the Spirit Stones.


    He, on the other hand, called three other cultivators from the Liu family on board the ship and skillfully dissected the black snake, taking the snake gall, bones, skin, eyes, and other useful things with great satisfaction.


    These things could be sold at the Southstream Market for at least a hundred Spirit Stones.


    Since the people who helped out needed the use of their Liu family¡¯s Ice Breaking Ship and had gotten their boat ticket money back, no one said anything more.


    But Liu Yongnian was a good man. He divided the snake meat and gave two pounds to each of the ten cultivators who had fought, including Chen Mobai.


    The meat of these rank-1 demonic beasts was full of rich spiritual energy. If sold to restaurants such as the Sky Meal Building that specialized in spiritual meals, two pounds of meat could be exchanged for two Spirit Stones.


    Having gained these benefits, everyone was even less inclined to gossip.


    On the rest of the journey, they encountered another group of demonic beasts ¨C a group of slow-moving Black Armored Turtles. The Liu family didn¡¯t hesitate to use Spirit Stones to speed up their boat to its fastest to avoid the area where these beasts were and avoid a battle.


    Three days later, they finally landed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    There was naturally a stopover market on the shore.


    Chen Mobai looked at the map and found the journey back to the Water Mansion quite far.


    Even though going to the market before heading back to the Water Mansion was a roundabout way, due to his cautious nature, he decided to follow the Luo family¡¯s caravan back to Yun Country first.


    He Qun watched as Chen Mobai bought a ticket from the Luo family, his eyes slightly narrowed.


    He made eye contact with the other two Loose Cultivators who just got off the boat and then bought a ticket on the same coach as Chen Mobai while the other two left immediately..

 Chapter 150 - Chapter 150: Chapter 15?_1

    Chapter 150: Chapter 15?_1


    Translator: 549690339


    Five days later, standing before the familiar plaque of Southstream Market, Chen Mobai felt as if he had been transported to a different era.


    ¡°Elder, it¡¯s been a while. I didn¡¯t expect to see you still alive.¡±


    Qi Er, who was acting as a guide at the entrance, looked at Chen Mobai, his face filled with excitement.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    For this, all Chen Mobai could do was smile gently.


    ¡°There hasn¡¯t been any big incident in the market lately, has there.¡±


    He didn¡¯t ask Qi Er to lead the way, but when the latter saw an acquaintance, he greeted his fellow companions at the entrance and followed Chen Mobai into the market on his own initiative.


    ¡°Our Yun Country is within the influence of the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect, as long as these two sects don¡¯t fight each other, even if enemy forces attack, our Southstream Market is as secure as Mount Tai.¡± Qi Er¡¯s face showed pride, as if he really considered himself a part of the market.


    ¡°Brother Chen, hold on.¡±


    just at this moment, He Qun suddenly ran over and stopped Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Oh, is there something you need, Brother He?


    Chen Mobai turned around, looking a bit puzzled.


    ¡°The thing is, as you know, I wasn¡¯t so lucky during our expedition to Yun Meng Ze. Not only did I lose an arm, but I also exhausted all of my spirit stones.¡±


    ¡°I am in dire need of spirit stones right now. You once asked me about buying Dark Water. I still have two bottles of it, do you still need it?


    ¡°I can give them to you at the cheapest price, 15 spirit stones per bottle.¡±


    He Qun said sincerely, but Chen Mobei just shook his head.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Brother He, I want it, but I am a little short of funds, I can¡¯t afford even one bottle.¡±


    The actual reason was that Chen Mobai felt the Dark Water refined by He Qun himself should not be as good a quality as that of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Moreover, he still had a bottle of Dark Water that he could use, so it was not necessary to invest his precious spirit stones in this.


    ¡°I see. I am sorry for my prattle.¡±


    Looking disappointed, He Qun walked away.


    After leaving Chen Mobai¡¯s line of sight, he entered a small lane.


    Two ordinary-looking, thin loose cultivators were already waiting there, their faces slightly changed when they saw him coming in, and they asked.


    ¡°How did it go, have you confirmed it?¡±


    ¡°Yes, when I was selling Dark Water just now, I took a good look. The brass ring he wears on his hand is the ¡®Casting Sword Ring¡¯ of Golden Cliff. If you get it, you can easily break through to the perfection of Qi Cultivation.¡±


    ¡°This Casting Sword Ring is a symbol of the true disciples of Golden Cliff, rarely circulated outside. How did he get it?¡±


    ¡°Well find out when we ask him.¡±


    The older of the two loose cultivators spoke with a cold tone.


    ¡°I¡¯ve given you the information, where¡¯s my payment?¡±


    He Qun asked.


    ¡°This time is different from before, we¡¯ll give it to you after we get the goods.¡±


    ¡°No, I¡¯m in urgent need of spirit stones, I need it now.


    Hearing He Qun¡¯s words, the elder loose cultivator lifted his head, and the air in the entire alley suddenly turned cold.


    ¡°Old Man He, all your sworn brothers, have died in Yun Meng Ze. Even you only have one hand left. You need to realign the way you treat us brothers.¡±


    ¡°You all¡­¡±


    After hearing these words, a flash of anger crossed He Qun¡¯s face. However, seeing the two men opposite squinting their eyes, recalling his current situation, and the fact that the two sworn brothers who left earlier haven¡¯t returned to the market yet, he had to swallow his rage, held his tongue and turned to leave.


    ¡°Brother, isn¡¯t this a bit inappropriate? After all, the information provided by him has helped us to settle in Southstream Market.¡±


    After He Qun had left, the smaller cultivator frowned and asked a question.


    ¡°We were just being polite because he is of use to us.


    ¡°Once we seize the Casting Sword Ring, we¡¯ll leave Yun Country immediately and head to Kun Country.¡±


    ¡°As long as we cultivate Golden Light Tactics to Qi Cultivation Level Nine, pass the Sword Tomb trial, and become disciples of Golden Cliff, we won¡¯t have to spend our time in this small market, working as He Qun¡¯s henchmen.¡± After the larger cultivator finished speaking, the other showed an enlightened expression.


    Indeed, since this was their final score, there was no need to give face to He


    Qun.


    ¡®¡öYou keep an eye on the market entrance. The moment that boy leaves, we¡¯ll ambush and kill him halfway. I will watch Old He.¡±


    After dividing their tasks, the two disappeared into the alley.


    Chen Mobai was completely unaware of this. He handed over the two pounds of snake meat he was carrying to Qi Er, asking him to sell it to Sky Meal Building for him.


    Then he brought the sixteen bottles of elixirs that he had picked up from Green Light Island, and went to set up his stall.


    By now he was familiar with the ropes, he found the stall owner who had previously bought his elixirs, and after haggling over the price, he sold all the elixirs at once, earning 28 Spirit Stones, which was considered a conclusion to his half-year¡¯s hard work.


    After waiting for a while, Qi Er, who had finished selling the snake meat, returned with the earnings of two Spirit Stones.


    Also there were 68 used Spirit Stones that he had bought over time, following Chen Mobai¡¯s order. These would be invaluable as Spiritual Extract once taken to the Celestial Sects.


    Chen Mobai directly handed him a silver note worth a thousand taels as a reward, to which Qi Er expressed his deep gratitude.


    ¡°By the way, do you know if Lu Shu, who shared a booth with me, is still in the market?¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen him for a while, but Miss Zhuo Ming returned from Yun Meng Ze last month. She has a good relationship with Lu Shu. You might want to ask her. But she hasn¡¯t been at her stall recently either, and has been staying in her rented cave dwelling.¡±


    Hearing Qi Er¡¯s words, Chen Mobai thought of the woman in a yellow dress who had bought two Green Arrow Talismans from him. If he remembered correctly, she was only at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation.


    She was pretty lucky to have survived the attack of demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze.


    However, he and Zhuo Ming only had one conversation before, and he wasn¡¯t sure if she would want to see him if he went to see her abruptly.


    After much consideration, Chen Mobai decided to pay her a visit.


    This matter had been bothering him for a long time, and it would continue to be uncomfortable if he didn¡¯t resolve it.


    When he arrived at Zhuo Ming¡¯s cave dwelling, he found the door was closed. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to shout or pass a note in, it would be too presumptuous.


    He wanted to leave a note at the door, but he didn¡¯t dare to write his questions on it, and so he ended up shaking his head and leaving.

    At the entrance of the market, Chen Mobai found Qi Er and instructed him to pass a message to Zhuo Ming if he saw her, saying he wanted to talk to her. After all the arrangements, he made another trip to the pharmacy in the market where the Divine Wood Sect sold medicinal pills and Spirit Grass, to ask when they would begin accepting loose cultivators this year.


    The shopkeeper somewhat recognized him, and noticing Chen Mobai¡¯s late stage of Qi Cultivation, his attitude was even more amiable.


    -This year our sect lost quite a few disciples in Yun Meng Ze. We need to recruit new blood earlier than usual, so the Spirit Messenger has left early. But to reach Yun Country, it would take at least half a month at the earliest.¡± After all, the land of the Eastern Wasteland was vast. Yun Country was considered near, but on average, a sect would set a year as the period for the Spirit Messenger¡¯s recruitment of disciples.


    ¡°Is that so? It seems that it¡¯s best to stay here for the time being.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai muttered to himself..

 Chapter 151 - Chapter 151: Chapter 151 The Body of Sun 1

    Chapter 151: Chapter 151 The Body of Sun 1


    Translator: 549690339


    Joining the Divine Wood Sect was crucial for Chen Mobai¡¯s future establishment in the Tianhe Realm.


    So, in order to avoid missing the opportunity and to increase his chances of success, he chose to settle down in the Southstream Market.


    This was his first time renting a cave dwelling within the market.


    Keeping with his consistent frugality, he rented the cheapest dwelling with a single Spirit Stone. After all, his recent focus on cultivating a Pure Yang Daoist Body did not require a high demand for spiritual energy.


    The ¡°Pure Yang Daoist Body¡± served as the basis for unsealing the Pure Yang Scroll.


    To establish a Foundation, one must cultivate a Three Yang Body, but once that is accomplished, it can increase the odds of Foundation Establishment by ten percent.


    Though Chen Mobai had, under the guidance of the real man in the crimson robe, entered the gate of the Pure Yang Scroll, cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body could only be achieved over time, slowly refined through patience. However, compared to others, he had a Spirit Stone, which could greatly shorten the time required.


    During his six months at the Cinnabarite Institute under the watchful eyes of the Gold Core Real Man, out of caution, Chen Mobai followed the most conventional methods for cultivating a Pure Yang Daoist Body and did not use the Spirit Stone.


    This resulted in his Pure Yang Daoist Body still lingering on the threshold of ¡°The First Yang Birth¡±.


    But now that he had returned to South Creek Fang Market, in the calm days before the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Messenger arrived, he could use the time to try Spirit Stone cultivation for his Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    After cleaning his newly rented cave dwelling using the Cleaning Technique, Chen Mobai sat down in the middle on a cushion.


    He took out a piece of Spirit Stone and held it in his right palm, recalling the mental cultivation method of Pure Yang Daoist Body. After confirming its accuracy, he closed his eyes.


    A stream of pure spiritual energy surged from the acupoints in his palm, traveling along a particular path through his body, and when it finally circulated into the Qi Sea in the Dantian, only a faint trace remained, which disappeared before reaching the Spiritual Power Vortex.


    Chen Mobai was mentally prepared for this.


    Over the Auxiliary Cultivation software, he had read the detailed steps and procedures for using Spirit Stones in cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body, more than ten times.


    He knew that the disappearance of spiritual energy in various parts of the body indicates that the hidden Spiritual Roots within the body have absorbed it, which means that the cultivation has been successful.


    However, for the first trial, the result was not the best.


    According to posts by experts from the Pure Yang Academy on Auxiliary Cultivation, the Pure Yang Daoist Body¡¯s enhancement and purification of Spiritual Roots require compensating for deficiencies in abundance.


    Research by the Imperial Medical Academy shows that the Five Elements Spiritual Root, although it can¡¯t be observed specifically, is housed in the human body, with its yin and yang and five elements, which is regarded as the resting place of the Spiritual Root after numerous experiments.


    In this philosophy, the gallbladder and liver contain wood, the heart and cauterized areas ignite fire, the stomach and spleen nourish earth, intestines and lungs embody metal, and kidneys and bladder store water.


    According to the theory of the Pure Yang Daoist Body, one needs to reduce water to nourish wood and ignite wood to kindle fire!


    To prevent the Five Elements Spiritual Root in the human body from disrupting the original balance and leading to a weak body during the depletion phase, spiritual energy needs to be added from the outside to make up for the loss.


    In other words, at the beginning of the Pure Yang Daoist Body cultivation, it¡¯s required to bring the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stones into the bladder and kidney, and supplement it before the depletion of the Water Element Spiritual Root.


    Chen Mobai was a bit awkward when he first began practicing.


    But during the second run, he used his Divine Sense to control the spiritual energy m the Spirit Stones, accurately delivering it to the kidney and bladder area.


    About the time of an incense sticks¡¯ burning, most of the remaining spiritual energy was delivered to his liver and gallbladder, with the residue sent to his heart and the Triple Burner.


    Finally, he began practicing the One Yang Body technique, depleting water and wood to ignite fire.


    If anyone was in the cave dwelling, they would see a Xuan Guang light shining through Chen Mobai¡¯s clothes at his kidney and bladder area.


    The Xuan Guang light seemed like water, rippling across his abdominal muscles at an inclined angle, flowing into his liver and gallbladder.


    After the Xuan Guang entered, both the liver and gallbladder seemed to be activated, emitting a green Spiritual Light that rose like a sharp sword, piercing into the heart and Triple Burner area.


    A trace of a flame¡¯s phantom ignited at Chen Mobai¡¯s heart, seemingly about to extinguish at any moment.


    But the rising strands of green spiritual light, like adding firewood to a fire, maintained the flame from extinguishing.


    Pitch-black Xuan Guang, emerald Spiritual Light, bright red flame.


    These three colors represent three types of spiritual roots, illuminating various parts of Chen Mobai¡¯s body. Following the Cultivation Method of the Pure Yang Daoist Body, they burn and glow, illuminating every part of his body, causing his originally calm blood and qi to start churning.


    Boundless spiritual energy continued to pour from his palm, the tri-color spiritual light constantly flickered. After about nine cycles of this.


    A ¡°crack¡± sound.


    Chen Mobai opens his eyes to see that the Spirit Stone he was holding was dim and even had a fine crack in the middle.


    This indicates that half of the spiritual energy has been consumed, and the Spirit Stone can no longer self-lock the spiritual energy.


    It needs to absorb the remaining spiritual energy in a short time; otherwise, it will dissipate on its own.


    Although this process is very slow, for any Loose Cultivator, it is as painful as cutting flesh.


    Chen Mobai, being such a frugal person, naturally wouldn¡¯t let the spiritual energy in the Spirit Stone slip away right in front of his eyes.


    He continued to grip it tightly, diligently cultivating the body of one Yang.


    In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and the Spirit Stone in his hand was completely emptied.


    For the Tianhe Realm, this is considered as trash now.


    But for the immortal world, it is an uppermost treasure for extracting dan toxins, the Spiritual Extract.


    After putting away the used Spirit Stone, Chen Mobai took out his long-unused ¡°Spirit-Testing Instruments¡± from his backpack.


    From the larger Spiritual Power Vortex in his Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea, he mobilized a stream of Five Elements Cultivation spiritual power and infused it.


    In a little while, a series of numbers illuminated on the small screen of the Spirit-Testing Instruments.


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 27, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10]


    There is no change at all!


    After careful comparison by Chen Mobai, he felt the rampant boiling of blood and qi in his body, this is indeed the state of entering the door of a One Yang Body as described in the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    He found it a bit strange and tested again.


    The result is still the same.


    However, he soon realized.


    If merely the first practice could lead to obvious changes in the Spiritual Root, then why would Ding Jinglue need to spend twenty years to cultivate the Three Yang bodies.


    Even a gifted person like Yan Bingxuan felt that she needed nearly ten years to complete the purification of the Ice Spirit Root.


    I must remain calm and patient.


    With the assistance of the Spirit Stone, according to the experience of predecessors, there will be changes within a month.


    Chen Mobai comforted himself in this way. Just as he was about to take out a new Spirit Stone to practice, an unexpected message suddenly flew in.


    He didn¡¯t dare to neglect it and immediately accepted it.


    Before his retreat, he had commanded Qi Er to notify him immediately if the


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Messenger came to Yun Country.


    Chen Mobai thought it was about this matter, but after reading it, he found it was something else.


    Zhuo Ming had come out of her retreat.


    Qi Er ran into her and immediately informed him with a message.


    Chen Mobai had almost forgotten about this task he had given to Qi Er..

    Messenger_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Miss Zhuo, long time no see.¡±


    At the stall position of the Southstream Market where talismans were displayed, Chen Mobai saw a woman in a yellow dress sitting on a small stool, selling some middle and low-rank talismans at the old spot. He walked over and greeted her.


    ¡°It¡¯s you. I didn¡¯t expect to see you again.¡±


    Upon hearing the voice, Zhuo Ming raised her head and saw Chen Mobai. She was slightly taken aback, then nodded and responded.


    ¡°As it happens, Miss Zhuo, you mentioned before that you are a Talisman Maker. I have some doubts about talisman making and wanted to ask for some advice.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t ask bluntly about Lu Shu¡¯s matter, but chose a more subtle approach.


    ¡°Oh, it seems that you are planning to join the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Zhuo Ming showed some caution in her eyes. At this point in time, if talisman makers who are still in the Southstream Market, most of them are planning to join the sect.


    If she also wants to join the Divine Wood Sect, they naturally become competitors.


    ¡°That¡¯s true. This is the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Talisman Making Insights¡¯ that Lu Shu gave me. He said mastering the basic talismans recorded in it would be more than enough to be accepted into the Divine Wood Sect. However, I¡¯m slow, and despite trying many times, I still fail to draw successfully as per the book. Could Miss Zhuo help me out?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words did not reveal his suspicion about Lu Shu, but effectively asked about the errors in the talisman strokes recorded in the manual.


    This kind of talent in rhetoric is inherent to him.


    His grandfather Tang Lu said Chen Mobai¡¯s talent would be a great loss for the imperial court if he didn¡¯t become an official.


    ¡°This book¡­¡±


    Zhuo Ming saw the ¡®Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Talisman Making Insights¡¯ that Chen Mobai took out, her eyes began to dodge, seeming to know something, but finally shook her head.


    ¡°You better ask Lu Shu. I haven¡¯t read this book and can¡¯t answer your questions.¡±


    ¡°Oh, the talismans you sell here are not made by you?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was quite surprised and pointed at the Consciousness Talisman, Regeneration Talisman, and New Life Talisman displayed on Zhuo Ming¡¯s blanket. These were all basic talismans required for loose cultivators to join the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°I have things to do today. I¡¯ll pack up first.¡±


    Zhuo Ming was embarrassed after being revealed by Chen Mobai. She directly packed up her blanket and talismans, carried her small stool, and returned to her cave dwelling.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t stop her.


    At least, from Zhuo Ming¡¯s attitude, it showed that she probably knew there was something wrong with the ¡®Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Talisman Making Insights¡¯ from Lu Shu¡¯s hands.


    ¡°I will take my time. Once I join the Divine Wood Sect, I will have plenty of time to convince her to speak up.¡±


    Chen Mobai was not in a hurry.


    He had just observed the talismans made by Zhuo Ming. If the Divine Wood Sect had indeed lost a good number of disciples in Yun Meng Ze, someone at her level, as long as her Spiritual Root Talent was not too bad, would also be accepted.


    Once they become fellow disciples, given enough time, Zhuo Ming will eventually reveal the truth.


    Chen Mobai was not affected by this incident.


    Since he came out of his cave dwelling, he visited the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s shop where spiritual herbs were sold and had a long chat with the shopkeeper.


    However, the Loose Cultivators who were tailing him in the market were getting a little anxious.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say he would be leaving soon?¡±


    ¡°It was the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Messenger who left early. He should be on his way to Yun Country. He probably plans to join the Divine Wood Sect. After receiving the news, he must have stayed.¡±


    In the same alleyway, He Qun, looking very impatient, said to his fellow Qi Cultivation practitioners.


    ¡°What should we do? He doesn¡¯t leave the market and we can¡¯t make a move here.¡±


    ¡°What else can we do. You can only wait for him to leave the market.¡±


    After saying these words, He Qun waved his missing right hand, turned around and left.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    One of the Loose Cultivators was furious at his attitude. He tried to take action, but was stopped.


    ¡°Big Brother.¡±


    ¡°We can only wait. If we don¡¯t get a chance, then let it be.¡±


    Sighing, the two of them disappeared into the alley.


    After leaving the alley, He Qun made a few turns and entered a cave dwelling.


    ¡°Old Seven, what did the remnants of the Xuan Guang sect say?¡±


    ¡°What else can they say? They don¡¯t dare to make a move in the market, so they can only wait for the kid to leave.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a shame that the kid is too careful. He never left the Spirit Camel of the Luo family on his way back. We haven¡¯t found an opportunity either.¡±


    Except for He Qun, there were two more people in the cave dwelling.


    If Chen Mobai was here, he would definitely find out that these two were the Loose Cultivators who helped him fight against the demonic beasts on the Ice Breaking Ship of the Liu family.


    Chen Mobai thought that only He Qun survived from his team, but they had split up.


    ¡°What if he really joins the Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    One of the middle-aged men with a grim face asked.


    ¡°After the two brothers take the stuff, we will kill them and avenge the kid. Even if the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s investigation leads to us, they will reward us.¡±


    The youngest looking boy calmly said.


    ¡°Brilliant.¡±


    Chen Mobai had no idea about these undercurrents aimed at him.


    After leaving the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s shop, he learned that the Spirit Messenger of the Sect was one of the top three experts among the twenty-four true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    It was said that he had already obtained the Foundation Building Pill, but he felt that there were still some flaws in his state of mind. Therefore, he voluntarily undertook this Ferrying Spirit mission, looking for talents for his Sect, while also making the final summary of his Qi Cultivation career.


    Three days passed, and Chen Mobai noticed more and more unfamiliar faces in Southstream Market.


    Qi Er told him that these were Loose Cultivators who lived in various places in Yun Country. They came here to try their luck after receiving news that the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Messenger had set off.


    Chen Mobai tried to interact with a few of them, but found that some of them couldn¡¯t even draw the ¡°Consciousness Talisman¡±.


    Those with Zhuo Ming¡¯s talisman making skills were considered the elite among them.


    He then learned that this is how Loose Cultivators are.


    They were busy earning Spirit Stones, cultivating, fighting; they didn¡¯t have time to study the high-end Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal such as talisman making.


    While lamenting the harsh cultivation environment in Tianhe Realm again, Chen Mobai also understood why these Loose Cultivators were scrambling to join large sects.


    Cultivation techniques, elixirs, Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    All of these things are incomplete among Loose Cultivators. Only in the sects and families do they have a complete inheritance.


    And if they want to go beyond Foundation Establishment and obtain the inheritance of the Rank-3 Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, the entire Eastern Wilderness only has the Seven Great Sects.


    While feeling the preciousness of knowledge in the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai also felt fortunate that the knowledge in the Immortal Gate could be freely obtained. He was, in fact, lacking resources.


    Two more days passed.


    Finally, the Spirit Messenger of the Divine Wood Sect arrived at Southstream Market amidst anticipation..

 Chapter 153 - Chapter 153: Chapter 153 True Spirit Root_l

    Chapter 153: Chapter 153 True Spirit Root_l


    Translator: 549690339


    At the entrance of the Southstream Market, the stewards of the four major cultivation families were all gathered around two disciples in the teal uniforms of the Divine Wood Sect, nodding and bowing profusely.


    Chen Mobai squeezed into the crowd, carefully inspecting the two individuals who garnered such attention.


    ¡°Strange, why are there two True Disciples here?


    According to the information he had gathered earlier, it was supposed to have been the Third True Disciple, E Yun, who would be visiting.


    It was said that E Yun¡¯s appearance was ordinary and unassuming, but due to his devoted cultivation of the ¡°Longevity Sutra,¡± he was considered one of the most promising talents for Foundation Establishment among this generation¡¯s


    True Disciples.


    The two disciples from the Divine Wood Sect, one male and one female.


    The man was elegant and handsome.


    The woman had rosy lips, bright teeth, and picturesque eyes. Although she seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, her potential for breathtaking beauty in the future was already apparent.


    Chen Mobai caught snippets of conversations that identified the man by the surname Yuan and the female by the surname Ding.


    If it¡¯s a Yuan, could he be Yuan Chiye, who is ranked eighteenth among the twenty-four True Disciples of this generation?


    As for the surname Ding, There are two true disciples within this generation including a woman who might be Ding Ying.


    Chen Mobai naturally gathered a lot of intelligence about the sect since he had decided to join the Divine Wood Sect.


    From what¡¯s made public by the Divine Wood Sect, there are two Gold Core elders at the highest rank, and twenty-four True Disciples at the lower rank.


    However, there¡¯s no precise number as to how many elders there are inside the sect who are at Foundation Establishment stage, with so many differing conjectures floating around.


    The cultivators of the Tianhe Realm are so dedicated to working for their Spirit Stones and Cultivation Techniques every day that they have no spare time to collect and study this kind of information.


    On the other hand, Chen Mobai managed to make an approximate computation based on what the Spirit Medicine Shopkeeper from the Divine Wood Sect in the market revealed.


    He said, approximately two to four out of the twenty-four True Disciples are capable of successfully Establishing Foundations in each generation.


    That means an average of three additional Foundation Establishment cultivators per decade.


    The Divine Wood Sect has been in existence for fifty years since its inception, so there are at least fifteen True Cultivators with established foundations as a base.


    But it¡¯s unknown how many Foundation Establishment cultivators were brought along from the Five Elements Sect and how many were lost in these years.


    Among the True Disciples of this generation, the three deemed most likely to Establish Foundations include E Yun.


    Since he never splits his focus by practising dual cultivation techniques, his spiritual power is extremely pure, hence why most people regard him as the True Disciple most likely to Establish Foundation first in this generation.


    But this isn¡¯t absolute.


    There were several instances where individuals who initially ranked lower among the True Disciples, surprised everyone and successfully established their foundations.


    A short time later, the two disciples from the Divine Wood Sect were escorted by the four major cultivation families to the most central Sky Meal Building in the market.


    Chen Mobai waited in place for a while.


    About the time It takes to burn one stick of incense, Qi Er ran over.


    ¡°Senior, I have asked around, this E Yun, being the Third True Disciple, is highly regarded by many in the Divine Wood Sect for his potential to reach Foundation Establishment. That¡¯s why there are a lot of disciples who choose to attach themselves to him.¡±


    ¡°This time, he undertook a task as the sect¡¯s Spirit Messenger, but his primary aim is to prepare for his Foundation Establishment. Therefore, he delegated the task of recruiting loose cultivators to these two disciples who are bound to him.¡±


    ¡°The male disciple from the Divine Wood Sect is Yuan Chiye, the Eighteenth True Disciple and the young looking lady is Ding Ying who seems to be a True


    Disciple too.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded.


    As long as the Divine Wood Sect still recruits loose cultivators, it doesn¡¯t matter who they send for recruitment.


    He isn¡¯t boasting, but although there are a good number of Qi Cultivation experts at the eighth or ninth layer in the market now, when it comes to creating talismans, he is definitely superior compared to these loose cultivators after six months of hard training at the Cinnabarite Institute.


    During that half a year, besides switching over to the Pure Yang Scroll, he sought guidance from Luan Jingsheng.


    With Luan Jingsheng¡¯s assistance, he immersed himself in studying the three fundamental talisman books.


    Not only could he now produce the five types of Life Talisman, but he was also able to produce the ¡°Crimson Flame Talisman¡± and the ¡°Sword Qi Talisman¡± which Qi Rui had given him.


    If it weren¡¯t for the ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡¯s¡± creation requires a unique ink for talisman making, available only at the Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai might have already completed this high-end Rank-t talisman.


    Indeed, his thinking proved to be perfectly on point.


    After enjoying a hearty meal courtesy of the four major cultivation families, the two True Disciples appointed by the Divine Wood Sect proceeded in the afternoon to have their store cleared and prepared for the talisman making stage.


    Meanwhile, they occupied a vacant lot down the middle of the streets in the Southstream Market.


    One swipe from Yuan Chiye¡¯s storage bag sent a streak of light flashing across.


    Out of nowhere, a platform suddenly rose from the central space of the vacant lot, large enough to accommodate two to three people.


    ¡°Is that the ¡¯Spirit Root Testing Platform¡¯?¡±


    Qi Er, who was beside Chen Mobai, asked, an expression of anticipation in his eyes.


    There was no need to ask. Just by the name alone, Chen Mobai understood


    what it was.


    It should be the magic artifact used in the Tianhe Realm to measure a cultivator¡¯s Spiritual Root Attributes.


    Being so huge probably meant that it was faster and more precise compared to the spirit-testing instrument he had.


    just as Chen Mobai was thinking about it, the two representatives of the Divine Wood Sect made their way to one side. Immediately, disciples from the sect brought over two chairs and placed them behind them.


    ¡°Our Divine Wood Sect opens its mountain gate wide to welcome all loose cultivators. As long as your Spirit Root is suitable and you have not committed any grave sins from the Demon Path, all are welcomed to enter our sect!¡± Yuan Chiye¡¯s proclamation was loud and clear, ensuring everyone on the street could hear it.


    ¡°Now, let¡¯s begin with the males and females of suitable ages from the four major families to test their Spirit Roots.¡±


    The moment his words fell, the four prearranged queues began to move forward.


    With either anxious or anticipatory feelings, one by one, they stepped onto the Spirit Root Testing Platform.


    The first one up was a youngster from the Liu family.


    It seemed like someone had briefed him previously as he instantly sat cross-legged on the Spirit Root Testing Platform as soon as he got up there, beginning to meditate and circulate his Spiritual Energy.


    About two to three minutes later, just as Chen Mobai was getting bored and about to yawn, the Spirit Root Testing Platform lit up with a four-colored light. ¡°False Spiritual Root of four elements: Metal, Wood, Water, and Fire.¡± Seeing this, although Yuan Chiye shook his head slightly, he still gave the Liu family some face by signaling for the youngster from the platform. He extended a hand and checked the youngster¡¯s bone age.


    ¡°Aged sixteen, Qi Cultivation at the third layer, borderline acceptable for our sect.¡±


    Hearing this, a heavy burden seemed to have been lifted off the face of the leader of the Liu family, reflected in the form of a relieved smile.


    Chen Mobai was somewhat puzzled; didn¡¯t they still have to pass the talisman-making assessment? Yet from the looks of it, it seemed as if the youngster had already secured a spot in the Divine Wood Sect.


    But what surprised him even more was the crude construction of this Spirit Root Testing Platform.


    Can¡¯t it read out the Spirit Root Attribute values?


    Chen Mobai thought he may be misunderstanding something, so he continued to observe.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As the second, third, and fourth individuals stepped onto the platform, the Spirit Root Testing Platform continued to shine only according to their Five Elements Spiritual Root, revealing the Spirit Root Attributes of the individuals but not their specific values.


    He had a full understanding now. It seemed that the spirit-testing instrument in his bag might be considered quite ahead of its time in the Tianhe Realm.


    After all the individuals from the four major families had been tested, the best Spirit Root discovered was a Three Spiritual Root from the Liu family.


    In this round, Yuan Chiye recruited thirteen disciples, and seemed to be pretty satisfied with the only individual bearing a three attribute True Spirit Root. Not only did he ask him to stand by his side, but he also assured the head of the Liu family in a friendly manner that the next time the Divine Wood Sect has surplus Foundation Building Pills, they would consider inviting their family to bid for it.


    Next up, it was time for the Spirit Root testing of the loose cultivators..

    Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Top Talent_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai looked around and found that everyone was hesitant.


    He found it rather strange, but after putting himself in the shoes of these Loose Cultivators, an understanding dawned upon him, and he realized their feelings.


    From the moment these people embarked on the Path of Immortality Cultivation, they understood the importance of the spiritual root.


    Being able to become a cultivator meant that they all possessed a spiritual root. However, this spiritual root could either lead them to ascend to immortality or plunge into hell.


    They wanted to know their spiritual roots through the Spirit Root Testing Platform but also harbored a fear of discovering they had False Spiritual Roots of four or five attributes, which could dim their prospects in the Path of Immortality Cultivation.


    In such a dilemma, a lull fell upon them for a while.


    However, Chen Mobai knew his own spiritual root talent. If he were in Xian Men, he would have been the first to finish the test and go up the stage straight away.


    But this was the Tianhe Realm, where drawing attention was the last thing he wanted.


    He held back, waiting for the first Loose Cultivator to come forward, one eager to attract the attention of the two True Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    As expected, after about a stick of incense¡¯s worth of time passed, Yuan Chiye noticed that no one had yet stepped onto the stage, which made him furrow his brow.


    ¡°If there¡¯s no one willing, then this Spirit Root Testing will come to an end. Those who don¡¯t test their spiritual roots cannot participate in the next round of talisman evaluations.¡±


    As soon as he said this, someone finally couldn¡¯t help but step forward.


    A robust, bald, and eyebrow-less man came forward. After paying respects to Yuan Chiye, he carefully stepped onto the Spirit Root Testing Platform.


    Following the example of the people before him, he sat cross-legged and breathed in and absorbed the spiritual energy.


    Then, a five-color light shone brightly.


    ¡°False Five Elements Spiritual Root, disqualified.¡±


    ¡°Senior Yuan, I¡¯m at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation. M-my spiritual root couldn¡¯t be this poor. Could you perhaps try to read my bones again?¡±


    This bald man¡¯s face turned pale when he saw the light of his spiritual root, but he ran in front of Yuan Chiye without giving up, extending his right hand.


    ¡°The eighth level of Qi Cultivation, huh? Alright then, you may participate in the next round of talisman evaluations.¡±


    Yuan Chiye did not read his bones again. He nodded, signaled the bald man to step down, and gestured for the next person to come up.


    Seeing this, many of the Loose Cultivators present believed the rumors that had been circulating in the market recently.


    The Divine Wood Sect lost quite a number of disciples in Yun Meng Ze, and it really seemed like they were planning to recruit more people this time.


    Normally, those with False Five Elements Spiritual Roots would definitely be eliminated. But someone at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation could finish quite a few sect tasks, and they were being given a second chance.


    As such, the remaining Loose Cultivators at the later stages of Qi Cultivation all enthusiastically took to the Spirit Root Testing Platform.


    But the results surprised Chen Mobai greatly; they all had False Spiritual Roots of four or five attributes.


    ¡°This is strange, how can this be?¡±


    ¡°Senior, these people who can advance to the later stages of Qi Cultivation have experienced multiple recruitments by the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect. They have tested their spiritual root talents long ago. And the talents with True Spiritual Roots have been picked off in the previous recruitments.¡±


    Qi Er¡¯s words enlightened Chen Mobai.


    All his previous thoughts were mistaken. It wasn¡¯t that these people didn¡¯t dare to take the stage due to the fear of discovering their poor spiritual root talents.


    They already knew that they had False Spiritual Roots of four or five attributes. And most of them were overage and did not meet the recruitment requirements of the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect, knowing they will get eliminated, thus they did not step forward.


    However, thanks to the recent rampage of the demonic beasts in Yun Meng Ze, the Divine Wood Sect seemed to have suffered considerable losses and were loosening their requirements towards these Loose Cultivators in the later stages of Qi Cultivation this time.


    But there was no certainty as to how the talisman evaluations that were coming up would be.


    While Chen Mobai was pondering this, the Loose Cultivators at the later stages of Qi Cultivation were nearly finished with their tests. They were indeed all possessing False Spiritual Roots, which made Yuan Chiye shake his head repeatedly.


    In the end, he didn¡¯t even bother to watch. He began to chat with the disciple who was looking after the Divine Wood Sect Shop.


    ¡°If the Sect Leader hadn¡¯t demanded that we recruit more people this time, basically none of these people would have been able to enter our sect.¡±


    ¡°Well, it¡¯s not entirely a bad thing. After all, these Loose Cultivators have cultivated to the later stages of Qi Cultivation, each with some useful skills. They can never hope to reach the Foundation Establishment, but they would be perfect to replenish our team in Yun Meng Ze.¡±


    One of the shopkeepers from the Magic Instrument Shop said laughingly.


    ¡°Well, would you look at that. There¡¯s a hidden gem.¡±


    Suddenly, the young-looking female True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect spoke up in surprise.


    Yuan Chiye, who was chatting leisurely, immediately turned to look and saw a handsome young man sitting on the Spirit Root Testing Platform, practicing Qi cultivation.


    White light, green light, and black light shone!


    It¡¯s actually a True Spiritual Root of three attributes!


    Yuan Chiye¡¯s eyes brightened, and he stood up.


    ¡°What¡¯s the background of this Loose Cultivator?¡±


    The shopkeeper of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Dan Medicine Shop promptly got up and reported to Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°He¡¯s a Loose Cultivator who appeared in Yun Country just last year. Some time ago, he also went to our Sect¡¯s Green Light Island Market in Yun Meng Ze and was very lucky. He managed to escape after the island was destroyed by demonic beasts.¡±


    ¡°Ah, so he escaped from the ruins of Green Light Island.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yuan Chiye couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    As a true disciple, he certainly knew about the brutal conditions at the Green Light Island battlefield. The Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff sacrificed two Foundation Establishment elders to buy time for most of their disciples to retreat via the Teleportation Array.


    The fact that this person managed to survive in such a battlefield without a doubt demonstrated his exceptional abilities.


    ¡°Can we investigate this person¡¯s initial experiences in cultivating immortality clearly?¡±


    Although the Divine Wood Sect was not as strict as the Five Elements Sect in recruiting Loose Cultivators, they would still conduct a basic background investigation. Doing so was to prevent someone sent by another Sect from stealing their cultivation technique.


    ¡°He did mention that when he was a child, he fell into a great lake while fishing, accidentally entered a Water Mansion, and thus obtained the method of immortal cultivation.¡±


    The foreshadowing in Chen Mobai¡¯s previous conversation with the shopkeeper of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spiritual Medicine Shop was revealed. Chen was thinking of confessing the Water Mansion as his own after joining the Divine Wood Sect.


    After all, the Water Mansion used to belong to the Five Elements Sect and no one had come to retrieve it at this point. Therefore, as a sect derived from the Five Elements Sect, the Divine Wood Sect is also entitled to claim ownership of this Water Mansion.


    Once he joined the Divine Wood Sect, wouldn¡¯t this Water Mansion become rightfully his?


    Considering that the Divine Wood Sect had so much unused spiritual land in Giant Tree Ridge, they would certainly not care about this small Water Mansion.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai stepped off the Spirit Root Testing Platform and walked toward Yuan Chiye.


    After the spiritual root testing, there was still the bone reading and cultivation level check.


    ¡°Very good. You¡¯re only nineteen and are already at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, and you possess a True Spiritual Root.¡±


    After the bone reading, Yuan Chiye seemed even more pleased.

    ¡°With your cultivation speed, this True Spiritual Root is definitely of high quality. It might even be close to a top-tier Dual Elemental Spiritual Root. You don¡¯t need to participate in the talisman evaluation.¡±


    Yuan Chiye directly confirmed the qualifications for Chen Mobai¡¯s admission.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Chen Mobai was shocked by this. He knew he only possessed a most ordinary trinity spiritual root, which lacked a few points from being considered a Four Element Spiritual Root.


    Why did Yuan Chiye¡¯s words start to disagree with the Spiritual Root Certificate given by Xian Men¡¯s large medical institute?

 Chapter 155 - Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Oh No, I Became a Genius_l

    Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Oh No, I Became a Genius_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai was unaware of the significance of his tri-attribute True Spirit Root.


    But after all the cultivators in Southstream Market had gone through the Spirit Root Testing Platform, he finally understood.


    Surprisingly, he had the best outcome.


    Not a single person in the entire Southstream Market possessed a Spiritual Root with more than three attributes.


    Even among those with a tri-attributed Spiritual Root, barely six individuals could be counted.


    Excluding him and the young lad from Liu family, among the remaining three Loose Cultivators who were tested, one had a bone age of over thirty with only Qi Cultivation of the third level, considered by Yuan Chiye to possess a tri-attributed Spiritual Root close to being a False Spirit Root.


    Normally, possessing a tri-attributed Spiritual Root should allow direct entry into the sect, but after Yuan Chiye¡¯s assessment, the Loose Cultivator was asked to participate in the second round of talisman examination. Only if the results met the standard would he be permitted to join the sect.


    Although a little annoyed, the Loose Cultivator could only reluctantly accept the decision from the True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Among the remaining two, one was merely a six-year-old boy, the son of a pair of Loose Cultivators, with cultivation only as high as the first level of Qi Cultivation.


    However, Yuan Chiye judged his Spiritual Root to be quite good, so he made a reservation for him outright.


    He gave the boy a token from the Divine Wood Sect, so that he could present it for identity verification when the Spirit Messenger arrived again in ten years. After that, he would be able to directly enter the sect.


    Chen Mobai wondered why they didn¡¯t directly recruit the boy into the Divine Wood Sect. Weren¡¯t they afraid he¡¯d be taken by another sect the next time around?


    Not wanting to directly ask Yuan Chiye, he instead asked an old acquaintance standing nearby¡ªthe shopkeeper of Shenmu Spirit Drug Store.


    ¡°In Yun Country, only Five Elements Sect dares to snatch candidates from us, Divine Wood Sect. However, our relationship has been mellow for the past two decades. Just for a tri-attributed Spirit Root disciple, they wouldn¡¯t stoop so low as to perform such contemptible actions.¡±


    ¡°Apart from that, even if he is taken away, it merely represents that the boy does not have a fate with our sect.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s only a measly tri-attributed Spirit Root; if it¡¯s taken away, so be it.¡±


    This speech, revealing the breadth of mind befitting the Divine Wood Sect¡ªa major sect in the Eastern Wilderness¡ªleft Chen Mobai admiring and rethinking his decision to join this sect.


    ¡°However, I didn¡¯t expect that this year we could find three suitable talents in our Southstream Market. Disciple Chen, if you manage to establish your foundation successfully within our sect in the future, don¡¯t forget about me¡ª your old friend.¡±


    The shopkeeper of the Shenmu Spirit Drug Store was named Yu Tian. He was also someone who entered the sect as a Loose Cultivator, his cultivation level was just barely at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation. There was basically no hope for him to receive a Foundation Building Pill.


    But he had been diligently contributing to the sect for his whole life in order to fight for a chance to establish foundation, even without a Foundation Building Pill.


    That¡¯s why Yu Tian had always been looking for an opportunity to return to Giant Tree Ridge. Because the Spirit Vein there was prosperous, that was undoubtedly an excellent place to self-cultivate foundation establishment.


    However, due to his lack of connections in the sect, he¡¯d been having problems getting approved for his transfer back.


    But seeing that Chen Mobai had the best tri-attributed Spiritual Root, and having the potential to shine in the sect, he could possibly become a true disciple in the next round, Yu Tian sparked a bit of hope and immediately tried to make friends.


    ¡°Not at all, I¡¯ve just entered the sect. I haven¡¯t even become a True Disciple yet, let alone establishing my foundation. The words of Elder Brother Yu have overstepped.¡±


    Back in the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai always strove to maintain a low profile.


    Originally, he thought with his talent, which was close to a False Spirit Root, he could moderately exert himself during the talisman examination and achieve a medium-grade result to get into the Divine Wood Sect. He could avoid drawing attention to himself while having a chance to learn and communicate in this major sect of the Eastern Wilderness. It would be a win-win situation.


    Who would have thought that the Spirit Root testing artifact in the Tianhe Realm was so crude that with his age and cultivation level, he would be misinterpreted by Yuan Chiye as a genius with a True Spirit Root.


    As a result, his low-profile strategy was off to a wrong start.


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, I was wrong before. I hope you¡¯ll look out for me in the sect in the future.¡±


    At this time, the last of the Loose Cultivators with a tri-attribute Spiritual Root from the Southstream Market came over.


    It was Zhuo Ming.


    Her beautiful and captivating face carried a touch of unease, her eyes filled with both excitement and trepidation.


    Excitement, because she had a tri-attributed Spiritual Root, and she was only twenty-four years old.


    Not to mention, an impressive cultivation level of Qi Cultivation of the fifth level, reaching the minimum standard for direct admission into the sect.


    After her Spiritual Root result came back and her bone age was verified by Ding Ying, Yuan Chiye directly dismissed her from the talisman examination the following day, allowing her to be directly enshrined in the sect records.


    Although Zhuo Ming was consumed by excitement in that instant, upon seeing Chen Mobai, who was chatting and laughing with Yu Tian, she remembered her previous refusal of him, and immediately felt as though she¡¯d been doused with a bucket of cold water.


    Having dwelt among Loose Cultivators for so many years, she naturally understood social norms.


    This Chen Mobai was clearly the most talented individual in the Spirit Root evaluation of Southstream Market this time, and had already caught the eye of the two True Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Moreover, he was already in the later stages of Qi Cultivation. Once he joined the sect and received the resources of Divine Wood Sect, he could very possibly become one of the twenty-four True Disciples in the next round.


    Given his age and aptitude, there¡¯s a possibility he could receive a Foundation Building Pill in the future.


    And if he could get a Foundation Building Pill, then there would be a chance for Foundation Establishment.


    Foundation Establishment¡ªis the ultimate goal of all Loose Cultivators.


    Therefore, Zhuo Ming was extremely anxious, even if she too had been accepted into the Divine Wood Sect.


    She was well aware that Chen Mobai, possessing such talent, had a high probability of becoming a True Disciple. But her, she would probably end up like Yu Tian, spending her whole life maybe only managing to handle the sect¡¯s market shop.


    Having offended a potential True Disciple even before entering the Divine Wood Sect, Zhuo Ming felt her future prospects had already turned bleak just by thinking about it.


    ¡°Not at all, Miss Zhuo¡­Elder Sister¡­Junior Sister, there¡¯s no conflict between us. Since we all come from Yun Country¡¯s Nanxi, once we join the sect, we certainly must support each other.¡±


    Chen Mobai had initially thought that Zhuo Ming was younger than him, but when Ding Ying measured her bone age, she turned out to be twenty-four years old.


    By age, he should be calling her elder sister.


    However, in the Tianhe Realm, respect is given to the level of cultivation, and so, Zhuo Ming can only be his older junior sister.


    He had these changes in his address turning on the tip of his tongue for a while, before he got it right.


    However, his grown-up words led the nearby listeners to misunderstand.


    Just as Chen Mobai was thinking of inviting Zhuo Ming for a meal later to inquire about Lu Shu, another person approached him.


    The young man from Liu family, Liu Wenbo, came over under the leadership of his elders, kindly greeted Chen Mobai, and respectfully called out ¡°Elder Brother.¡±


    It was as if Zhuo Ming had set the example. The tri-attributed Spirit Root boy named Shen Wei also came over, led by his parents, to mix and familiarize himself.


    Even some Loose Cultivators who had clearly failed the talisman examination also came over to pay their respects to Chen Mobai.

    Hence, Chen Mobai, who had not even been to the Giant Tree Ridge yet, suddenly became the leader of this batch of Divine Wood Sect disciples from Yun Country¡¯s Nanxi.


    His plans for maintaining a low-profile instantly failed.


    Chen Mobai even noticed the deep and thoughtful expressions in the eyes of Yuan Chiye and Ding Ying¡ªtwo True Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect¡ªletting out a silent cry of disaster in his mind.


    He thought they were dissatisfied with his behavior of forming cliques as soon as he entered the sect.


    Darn, how did I end up becoming a genius!

 Chapter 156 - Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Hidden Truth_l

    Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Hidden Truth_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°What do you think?¡±


    ¡°Not bad, he reminds me of Brother Zhou. It¡¯s like having an interesting junior brother among the true disciples in the next session.¡±


    Yuan Chiye asked the young girl beside him, receiving an answer he did not expect.


    ¡°Brother Zhou? He is the next prospective leader of the Divine Wood Sect, and you¡¯re already rooting for this Chen Guixian.¡±


    ¡°The next leader? He has to reach Foundation Establishment first.¡±


    ¡°Hehe¡­¡±


    Yuan Chiye couldn¡¯t continue the conversation. He merely laughed it off.


    The next day.


    The site for the talisman assessment was ready, and all the loose cultivators who passed the first round of the spirit-detecting test came in one after another. Under the guidance of the representatives of the four major families who helped maintain order, they sat down in an orderly manner.


    As soon as the tasks of guiding spirits throughout Yun Country were completed, Chen Mobai was accepted and Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed in Yun Country would take them to the Divine Wood Sect.


    He didn¡¯t even have the leisure to look at those miserable faces.


    Fortunately, Zhuo Ming did not need to take part in the talisman examination either.


    So the two of them found a place and started discussing matters regarding Lu Shu.


    ¡°He also gave me this ¡®Understanding Talisman of Divine Wood Sect,¡¯ but before that, I had already received the cultivation book that included the Regeneration Talisman, Consciousness Talisman, and New Life Talisman. When I took it back and compared them, I found the trick.¡±


    As soon as Zhuo Ming opened her mouth, she confirmed that the talisman guide Lu Shu gave Chen Mobai had indeed been tampered with.


    ¡°Did you confront Lu Shu about this?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t dare to do that. At that time, I was only at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, and he was already in the late stages of Qi Cultivation. I just pretended not to know and thanked him every time he gave me a book.¡±


    ¡°Do you think it¡¯s possible that he was also deceived and actually doesn¡¯t know there¡¯s a problem with this talisman guide?¡±


    ¡°Humph! I originally thought so too, but one day I saw him give a talisman guide that was exactly the same to another loose cultivator setting up a stall. If he was being deceived, would he buy two error-filled books? I thought he was a loose cultivator who loved to help others. It turns out he¡¯s so sneaky.¡±


    Hearing Zhuo Ming say this, Chen Mobai nodded.


    If it really was like this, Lu Shu was damaging the ecosystem of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s recruitment of loose cultivators in this way.


    How precious the knowledge of the Tianhe Realm is, he knew that.


    Offering incorrect talisman guides for free would undoubtedly damage the future of the Divine Wood Sect in the shortest possible time.


    ¡°Does Junior Sister have any idea why Lu Shu would do this, based on your observation?¡±


    ¡°I think he might be from the Five Elements Sect.¡±


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s tone was hesitant, but her expression was firm. After some thought, Chen Mobai felt there was a lot of sense in her words.


    Indeed, the Five Elements Sect was the most likely, the most suspicious, and the least afraid of the Divine Wood Sect discovering and retaliating against them.


    ¡°Sister, do you think we need to report this to the two true disciples?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, Zhuo Ming hesitated, then immediately shook her head.


    ¡°It¡¯s best to pretend not to know if we want to survive in the world of immortal cultivation over the long run. It¡¯s better to feign ignorance about certain things.¡±


    This was also why she didn¡¯t tell Chen Mobai about this in the beginning.


    Who knows what Lu Shu¡¯s origins are. She didn¡¯t want her resentment towards him to lead to a possible cause for revenge in the future when he possibly hears about it.


    ¡°If you¡¯re going to report this to the two true disciples, say it was your own discovery. Don¡¯t involve me.¡±


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s words left Chen Mobai speechless with disbelief. The customs of the Tianhe Realm were truly conservative.


    However, he couldn¡¯t criticize Zhuo Ming for it because he himself also acted in the same way.


    However, because he had been placed in the spotlight, being hailed as the leader of this session of Yun Country South Creek Divine Wood disciples, he couldn¡¯t possibly keep a low profile anymore.


    He may need to show off a bit in the future.


    Just as well, he wanted to become a true disciple and compete for Foundation Establishment Pill.


    ¡°Since Junior Sister has such sentiment, I naturally won¡¯t expose you.¡±


    When the talisman-making assessment ended, Chen Mobai handed over the Divine Wood Sect talisman guide in his hand to Yuan Chiye. When Yuan Chiye read through it, his eyebrows furrowed in puzzlement.


    Being a true disciple and assigned the important task of coming to Yun Country to guide spirits, both his vision and insight are of top choice.


    He didn¡¯t need Chen Mobai to point it out, he understood the malicious plot hidden behind this incorrect book.


    ¡°No wonder the talisman-making skills of the loose cultivators in this session are a whole grade worse than the previous session. If it wasn¡¯t for the sect leader lowering the expectations, I¡¯m afraid I would¡¯ve eliminated eighty percent of the loose cultivators.¡±


    Yuan Chiye shook his head, his eyes solemn, and asked Chen Mobai seriously: ¡°Who else knows about this matter besides you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that, since Lu Shu directly gave me this book. Perhaps he also gifted the others in the market the same book, but for the specific details, you¡¯ll have to ask the other loose cultivators.¡±


    There were no discrepancies in Chen Mobai¡¯s words, and Yuan Chiye didn¡¯t notice any ambiguity either. After Yuan Chiye nodded, he put the ¡°Understanding Talisman of Divine Wood Sect¡± into his bag.


    ¡°It just so happens that the mission of guiding spirits here at South Creek Market has ended, and I have to make a trip to visit Uncle Dan¡¯s residence. I¡¯ll report this matter on the way. Before instructions from senior management arrive, act as though this matter never happened. Even if you run into the man who gave you this book, remain ignorant and greet him with a smile.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Brother Yuan.¡±


    The two true disciples, who originally planned to rest for the night, did not delay and left South Creek Market in the night, heading north.


    ¡°I have some time now. I should return to the Water Mansion to have a look.¡±


    Chen Mobai had already successfully mastered the method of lifting the Water Thunder Ban Prohibition recorded in Liu Yanpei¡¯s notes. If it wasn¡¯t for the matters of joining the Divine Wood Sect being too important, he would have returned earlier.


    Now he had to wait for about half a month, waiting for Yuan Chiye and the others to complete the task of guiding spirits in the other three directions of Yun Country, before he could go to the Giant Tree Ridge.


    He could take this time to accomplish something he had been longing to do.


    This was a problem that had been troubling him since he arrived in the Tianhe Realm.


    What exactly is in those two side halls?


    After a night of cultivating his Pure Yang Daoist Body, a spirited Chen Mobai left South Creek Market in high spirits.


    ¡°I¡¯ve finally waited for this day!¡±


    The loose cultivator that has been hanging around the market gate saw Chen Mobai¡¯s receding figure and squinted his eyes, then activated a Communication Talisman.


    Not long after, another loose cultivator arrived.


    ¡°Brother, he¡¯s left.¡±


    ¡°Junior brother, do we really have to do this? He is now a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect. If we kill him, even if we join the Golden Cliff, once it¡¯s exposed, we¡¯re likely to be killed in return.¡±


    ¡°Brother, we could simply rob him of his casting sword ring and not kill him. He¡¯s originally a loose cultivator, he must be someone who knows the ways of the world.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Ultimately, the temptation of the casting sword ring was too great, or perhaps they had gotten used to the rapid wealth escalation brought about by plundering and couldn¡¯t resist. They gritted their teeth and pursued the direction in which Chen Mobai had left.


    Not long after they left, He Qun and his two blood brothers appeared.


    They all laughed sinisterly.


    The mantis stalks the cicada, oblivious of the oriole behind!


    Everything is theirs..

 Chapter 157 - Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Reaching Consensus—1

    Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Reaching Consensus¡ª1


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai left Southstream Market and arrived at a barren mountain.


    Just as he was about to rest, two streaks of sword light suddenly attacked from behind him, shining brightly and incredibly dazzling.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡±


    Chen Mobai was no longer the novice in magic duels he once was. From his sleeve, two Wooden Shield charms flew out, transforming in an instant into two cyan light shields, blocking the path of the sword light.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    To his surprise, the two streaks of sword light directly pierced through the two Wooden Shield charms without any hindrance.


    ¡°It¡¯s two masters!¡±


    Upon seeing this scene, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression changed, and he dared not to be indifferent any longer.


    The Water Elemental Shield moved at his thought, transforming into two whirlpools, appearing in the path of the sword light, enveloping it, and dissipating its sharp and powerful spiritual power.


    But at that very moment!


    A sword humming sounded.


    The sword light split from one into two. As the Water Elemental Shield blocked the two of them, the other two lights took a curved path and struck towards Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulder blades.


    [They didn¡¯t aim for my vitals. Do they not want to kill me, or are they hesitant?]


    Chen Mobai had this thought flash across his mind at that moment.


    While he activated the Wood Armor Talisman and Golden Light Talisman that he held in his hand,


    In the other hand, he waved his sleeve, and a blue scarf handkerchief flew out.


    With three defenses activated all at once, he finally managed to block the two streaks of sword light that was right before his eyes.


    Amid the ¡®Bang! Bang!¡¯ sounds,


    Chen Mobai involuntarily stepped back twice.


    The spiritual power contained in these two streaks of sword light was so powerful that even his three defenses could not completely dissipate it.


    Compared to the magic duels during the entry exams at the immortal academy, it was opponents on a whole different level of strength.


    Chen Mobai compared it with the most formidable opponents he had ever encountered, Gong Xiangyu, Yan Feng.


    He realized that even if those two joined forces against him, they did not pose as big a threat as the sword light just now.


    It¡¯s not that the sword lights were more potent than the Sea Sword Qi cast by the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman, but rather that the individuals who attacked him far surpassed the students of the immortal academy in terms of battle experience, judgement, timing, and control over their swordsmanship.


    Chen Mobai felt at ease and confident when dealing with foes from the academy, but when faced with these two streams of sword light, he had to put in an extra effort to block them.


    ¡°Who dares to attack a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect like me!¡¯


    Chen Mobai estimated that if the opponents were hesitant about him, it could only be because of the identity he had just acquired.


    ¡°Humph, nobody knows if we kill you in this desolate wilderness.¡±


    Two skinny loose cultivators appeared in Chen Mobai¡¯s line of sight, one tall and one short, wearing straw hats and having their faces wrapped in black cloth, showing only a pair of eyes. They held two longswords in their hands.


    ¡°Fortunately, they¡¯re both paupers.¡±


    On seeing that they were not manipulating flying swords but holding longswords in their hands, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief.


    If it were flying swords against him, neither his Defensive Talisman nor his magical artifact would be able to resist them for long.


    ¡°Respected seniors, I¡¯m just a mere loose cultivator as well, carrying only twenty spirit stones on me. If you need some wealth to ensure safe passage, please take them and spare my life.¡±


    Even without flying swords, judging by the proficiency shown by those two streaks of sword light just now, it can be concluded that these loose cultivators, who had to remain undercover, were at least cultivators in the late stage of qi cultivation.


    Moreover, they were noted among cultivators for their potent combat strength


    ¨C they were sword cultivators.


    Chen Mobai felt that he was not their match, so he first thought of reaching consensus with them through dialogue.


    He untied a cloth bag tied around his waist, opened it, and directly tossed it in front of the two men on the grassland.


    With a ¡°Ting, ting, dong¡± sound, chunks of spirit stones rolled out from the open bag, where the twinkling spiritual light instantly attracted the two cultivators¡¯ attention.


    However, they quickly regained their senses, raised their swords, and aimed at


    Chen Mobai¡¯s right hand.


    -Respected seniors, what do you mean by this? Do you want one of my hands?¡± Chen Mobai could not accept that. If this were the case, he would have to fight for his life.


    ¡°No, we want the Casting Sword Ring you¡¯re wearing!


    The taller cultivator, referring to the brass ring worn by Chen Mobai, opened his mouth.


    ¡°Casting Sword Ring?¡±


    Chen Mobai lifted his hand, looked at the brass ring he wore on his finger, and realized that the magical artifact was indeed named in this way.


    Is it a famous magical artifact?


    ¡°Respected seniors, I can give it to you, but please also give me an assurance that after you take it, you must not harm me in any way.¡±


    Although, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to part with the brass ring he had only used once, but compared with his safety, this item could be given up.


    ¡°Okay, we can agree to your condition, but you must also agree to one of our conditions.¡±


    ¡°Please proceed.¡±


    ¡°We will take our Casting Sword Ring and leave, and you should not look into the origins of us two because of this incident. Even if you learn about them, the three of us cannot harm each other.¡±


    This was something the two brothers had discussed in advance.


    The best way would be to loot by killing.


    However, both brothers had ambitions. With the Casting Sword Ring, they had a good chance of joining the Golden Cliff.


    Golden Cliff had a Sword Tomb Questioning Heart stage; if one had done harm to Golden Cliff in their heart, they would be unable to pass the stage.


    Since Golden Cliff and the Divine Wood Sect had a well-known relationship throughout the Eastern Wilderness, if they directly murdered and robbed, they would be the ones at fault; if their actions were exposed, Golden Cliff would undoubtedly execute them for the sake of its reputation. Hence, they didn¡¯t want to kill the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Nor did they want to kill Chen Mobai, the genius talent who had remarkable spiritual roots and was likely to succeed in the future.


    However, if they didn¡¯t kill Chen Mobai, this genius would possibly retaliate against them when he reached a high cultivation level in the future.


    Therefore, they also wanted Chen Mobai to make a promise.


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s all make a solemn oath.¡±


    While Chen Mobai was unaware of the twist and turns in the two brothers¡¯ minds, he did grasp the idea that they didn¡¯t want to kill a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.


    While marveling at how useful the cover of a major sect of the Eastern Wilderness was, he also took off the brass ring he was wearing.


    As the three of them looked at each other and were about to swear an oath with their hands raised,


    A faint sound of thunder suddenly echoed.


    ¡°Good heavens, there¡¯s an accomplice after all. Indeed, the people here are all crafty villains!¡±


    Chen Mobai thought that the two cultivators deliberately deceived him, waiting for him to take off the ring before attacking.

    However, he immediately saw that the lightning flashing from the distance indiscriminately fell on all three of them.


    Uh!?


    At the moment of his surprise, the brothers¡¯ expression changed as well. They thought Chen Mobai had known about the situation and had called for reinforcements.


    They combined their two swords, the sword qi circulating, vanquishing all the blue lightning at the roadside and prompting charred marks on the grassland. ¡°In my thirty years in the Eastern Wilderness, I¡¯ve never come across people like you.¡±


    He Qun walked over with his two sworn brothers ¨C they looked disturbed, obviously startled by the scene where Chen Mobai negotiated with the two men just now..

 Chapter 158 - Chapter 158: Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talismanl

    Chapter 158: Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talismanl


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°He Qun!¡±


    Upon seeing the newcomer, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but frown.


    So, Lu Shu didn¡¯t lie to him, this guy was indeed a problem.


    ¡°You¡¯re biting the hand that feeds you!¡±


    The Loose Cultivator brothers¡¯ expressions changed dramatically upon laying eyes on He Qun and his two companions. It was clear they hadn¡¯t anticipated He Qun daring to tail them.


    But when they saw the two people emerging from behind He Qun, they understood his motivations.


    ¡°You South Mountain Thieves are still not completely wiped out in Yun Meng Ze!¡±


    Chen Mobai recognized the three men He Qun was with, even though he didn¡¯t know the names of the other two, he had seen them before.


    They were the advanced Qi Cultivators invited aboard the Liu family¡¯s Ice Breaking Ship to deal with the Demonic Beasts.


    He didn¡¯t know the exact relationship these two Loose Cultivators had with the trio of He Qun, but after hearing their conversation, he had a rough idea in mind.


    It seems he exposed himself to He Qun and the others by using this brass ring on the Liu family¡¯s Ice Breaking Ship, which triggered today¡¯s situation.


    In the end, it was because he had not been careful enough.


    ¡°Lei Da, Wang Liu, there are only three of you South Mountain Thieves left today. I¡¯m afraid seizing both us brothers and this disciple of the Divine Wood Sect simultaneously won¡¯t be an easy task.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say a word, he simply quietly put his brass ring back on his hand.


    Meanwhile, the Loose Cultivator brothers started signalling him with their eyes, intending to form an alliance.


    ¡°Kan Xiu, Kan Ping, you both might have mastered sword techniques, but without a Flying Sword, you are no match for me.¡±


    He Qun remained silent and made way for the young man nicknamed Lei Da to step forward.


    ¡°Let¡¯s stick to the rules. Once we get hold of the Casting Sword Ring, you will naturally receive your share.¡±


    Upon seeing Lei Da stepping up, Kan Xiu spoke up, seemingly indicating weakness as if acknowledging he was not an opponent.


    ¡°That works.¡±


    Lei Da appeared to ponder for a while, then nodded his head and pointed at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Then, start by killing him.¡±


    ¡°We just need to get our hands on the goods, whether we kill him or not, does it really matter?¡±


    Kan Xiu furrowed his brows. He knew that if they killed Chen Mobai today, a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect with an outstanding Spiritual Root Talent, they would be forever held hostage by these South Mountain Thieves, even if they did manage to join Golden Cliff.


    ¡°You won¡¯t have a say in that. If you don¡¯t kill him, we¡¯ll kill you first, then kill him.¡±


    During the conversation, Lei Da took out a magic artifact shaped like a drum.


    ¡°Thunder Drum!¡±


    Upon seeing this artifact, Kan Xiu¡¯s brow furrowed.


    Chen Mobai felt that the tide of battle was starting to tilt in favor of He Qun¡¯s party.


    This situation was not sustainable. If the opposing party reached a consensus, his death would certainly follow.


    ¡°Gentlemen, if we three join forces, we may not win, but escaping with our lives should be a breeze.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately spoke up.


    ¡°Brother, I follow your lead.¡±


    Kan Ping nodded at Kan Xiu and after sighing, he pointed his sword at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai, who had been prepared, did not hesitate to take out his trump card.


    It was a sealed green talisman.


    A lower-grade Rank-2 ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡±.


    He had already experienced the abilities of the two Loose Cultivators. If dragged into a lengthy battle, he undoubtedly couldn¡¯t triumph over two opponents.


    Moreover, even if he did manage to achieve victory, there were still the three watchful men at his side.


    If he wanted to survive, he had to defeat his opponents as quickly as possible to reduce their number, and ideally wipe them out all in one swoop.


    He had been prepared to risk his life the moment He Qun¡¯s party appeared. Using the energy absorption technique, he clutched the talisman in his palm and infused it with his spiritual power.


    Now that the talks had broken down and the Kan brothers drew their swords on him, he did not hesitate or feel any regret.


    He directly unleashed his most potent talisman!


    Boom!


    Without a doubt, it was a Rank-2 talisman. Even though it was only lower-grade, its power equated to a fully-focused spell of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    The moment Chen Mobai threw the talisman, strands of green lightning sprung forth, transforming into a sky full of wildly dancing streams of green current in the blink of an eye. It appeared like an Azure Dragon sweeping through the Kan brothers, reducing them to charred remains.


    At this point, the power of this talisman was only one-tenth unleashed!


    Chen Mobai could feel his divine sense being severely drained amidst the rapid consumption of his spiritual power. He started feeling dizzy after only a brief moment, but he still mustered his energy, controlling the remaining power of this talisman and aimed it at the position of He Qun¡¯s group.


    Rumble!


    The green electric current danced wildly, bringing with it an immensely destructive power capable of leveling a hill, and descended upon Lei Da.


    Lei Da¡¯s face changed dramatically, but he clung onto the Thunder Drum with both hands, putting all his strength into striking it.


    A loud thunderous noise echoed as a bolt of blue thunderbolt burst forth like a silver serpent, colliding with Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡±!


    After a burst of intense light, the Water Elemental Shield of He Qun and the Heart Protecting Mirror of Wang Liu both erupted with incredible spiritual light, trying their best to neutralize the power of the Divine Thunder Talisman.


    After almost two minutes of the fierce havoc wreaked by the Azure Dragon electric current and the silver serpent thunderbolt, the deserted hill finally quieted down.


    Lei Da violently coughed twice, spitting out a mouthful of blood.


    But he still managed to survive, relying on his Rank-2 magic artifact.


    However, when he turned his head, his eyes turned red with rage.


    He Qun was lying down, barely breathing, while Wang Liu¡¯s Heart Protecting Mirror was shattered, its fragments scattered all over the ground.


    Turning to look at Chen Mobai¡¯s former position, Lei Da realized it was already empty.


    The latter had already fled in a random direction while the Yi Wood Divine Thunder talisman wreaked havoc.


    ¡°Damn it, kid, I¡¯ll grind him to dust.¡±


    Directing Wang Liu to carry He Qun, Lei Da lit a piece of Tracking Incense, fixed the direction where Chen Mobai had fled, and angrily gave chase.


    Just as they began their pursuit, a tall man dressed in black suddenly appeared, blocking their path.


    ¡°Who goes there?¡±


    Despite his fury, Lei Da hadn¡¯t lost his cool. He sensed that the man in front of him was likely a peak Qi Cultivator similar to himself.


    If it were a normal situation, he would not fear any peer, especially given his possession of a Rank-2 Magic Artifact.


    But after barely surviving a ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡±, and with his strength reduced by almost one-third, he had to proceed with caution.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t want to interfere originally in the fights and fights between you Loose Cultivators.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The man in the black robe lifted his head, revealing an ordinary face with unusually bright eyes.


    Lei Da thought of a person.


    ¡°My name is E Yun, and you guys shouldn¡¯t be laying hands on a disciple of my Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    This isn¡¯t good!


    Just as Lei Da was about to flee, E Yun stretched out his hand towards him..

 Chapter 159 - Chapter 159: Opening the Water Mansion_1

    Chapter 159: Opening the Water Mansion_1


    Translator: 549690339


    After using the ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡±, Chen Mobai did not hesitate. He applied two Godspeed Talismans directly and fled towards the location of the Water Mansion.


    Of course, before he left, he did not forget to retrieve the Spirit Stone Bag that he had thrown away.


    It had been hard-earned, after all.


    While on the run, terrified of being caught by the South Mountain Thieves, Chen Mobai managed to take refuge in the Water Mansion amidst his anxiety.


    Having secured the Array Flag of the Azure Water Formation, he felt slightly reassured knowing he could rely on this Rank-2 Formation.


    Feeling his Dantian Qi Sea nearly devoid of spiritual power, Chen Mobai, without wasting time, immediately slapped on a Rank-1 Resurrection Talisman onto himself.


    He managed to recover his full state in the shortest possible time.


    He also held onto his phone, prepared to retreat back to the Immortal Gate at any signs of the enemy breaking the Azure Water Formation.


    After anxiously waiting for half a day, he discovered that no enemies had shown up.


    This made Chen Mobai breathe a sigh of relief.


    However, he still did not dare to let his guard down. While maintaining the Azure Water Formation at maximum power, he began preparing to decipher the Water Thunder Ban Prohibition on the remaining two side halls.


    If the South Mountain Thieves attacked, his plan was to grab whatever was inside the side halls and teleport away immediately.


    Chen Mobai had practiced Liu Yanpei¡¯s recorded decryption techniques so often during his half year at the Cinnabarite Institute that they were second nature to him.


    However, having never tested them in a real situation, his first attempt to crack the prohibition ended in failure.


    But this was mostly due to Chen Mobai¡¯s restlessness and hesitation.


    Before his second attempt, he meditated for a quarter of an hour using the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique, calming his mind and spiritual power before calmly applying the decryption techniques.


    A clear ¡°click¡± sound resounded in his ears.


    Chen Mobai saw the lighting arc that was originally enveloping the side hall doorway flicker and fade until it disappeared completely.


    The disappearance of the prohibition seemed to trigger the doorway mechanism, and under his anticipating gaze, the door slowly opened.


    A wave of warmth hit him in the face.


    Finally, he saw what was inside.


    It was a cultivation area designed in a specific way.


    Around it was a trench dug to flow clear and bright water ¨C the source of which was unknown.


    And surrounded by the trench was a mound of soil, covering an area of about five to six square meters.


    The soil was different from what he usually saw; it was actually red. Chen Mobai could feel the warmth emanating from it where he stood by the door.


    Within the red soil, four bamboo stalks were planted.


    Their bodies looked like green jade, tall and straight, their leaves like swords, leaving golden and silver edges barely visible.


    Chen Mobai took a look and saw one gold and three silver; these should be the Gold-Edged and Silver-Edged Jade Bamboos mentioned in Liu Yanpei¡¯s notes.


    It was fortunate that this side hall created an environment suitable for the Jade Bamboo to grow. Otherwise, they probably would have all withered after several decades.


    Chen Mobai used a coin to test and confirmed that there were no other prohibitions inside before walking in. As he carefully observed the four Jade Bamboos, he also reached out and touched the sole Gold-Edged Jade Bamboo.


    He saw that this bamboo seemed to have absorbed most of the spiritual energy over the years and grew the most robustly. Even a flower bud was at the top.


    As his hand touched the bamboo, Chen Mobai felt a pure and strong spiritual energy swirling in each node.


    He squatted down and brushed through the red soil around the Jade Bamboo, indeed discovering six or seven bamboo shoots.


    Liu Yanpei¡¯s main task in the Water Mansion was to cultivate these Jade Bamboo shoots, along with the Azure Blood Carp. They were favorite spiritual ingredients for a certain Gold Core Elder within the Five Elements Sect.


    But since Chen Mobai had already eaten all the Azure Blood Carp, he wondered if these bamboo shoots also possessed the ability to enhance spiritual roots?


    Without delaying, Chen Mobai used the methods noted in Liu Yanpei¡¯s records to dig up all the emerging Bamboo shoots, and after sealing them with red soil and water, he placed them in a preservative bag he had prepared earlier.


    After extracting the bamboo shoots, Chen Mobai stretched out his hand to also pluck all the silver-edged and gold-edged bamboo leaves, stacked them one by one and put them into two other boxes.


    As soon as he knew that Liu Yanpei might be cultivating Jade Bamboo in the side hall of the Water Mansion, he began to search for the uses of this spirit plant.


    There is a shop in Southstream Market run by Green Bamboo Ridge that specifically sells jade bamboo-related products.


    Chen Mobai casually asked around and obtained the information he wanted.


    Jade bamboo shoots are a delicacy in the mortal world.


    The bamboo leaves can be used as talisman paper, silver-edged bamboo leaves are rank-1 talisman paper, and gold-edged bamboo leaves are rank-2 talisman paper, which can be perfectly used to refine Crimson Flame Sword Talismans.


    The bamboo flowers are also a kind of spiritual medicine, but if you wait for the bamboo flowers to yield fruit and turn into bamboo seeds, even if you don¡¯t refine them, consuming them directly can clear your vision and increase your divine sense.


    The remaining bamboo poles, bamboo hearts, and bamboo roots also have their uses, but to obtain these, you need to cut them down.


    The education he received since childhood in the Immortal Sect taught Chen Mobai not to randomly chop down flowers and plants. Who knows, they might be protecting the Spirit Plant?


    Although this place is the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai feels that cutting down these Jade Bamboos is somewhat a waste, at most they can be sold as raw materials.


    It¡¯s better to keep them for seed, and you can harvest jade bamboo shoots, bamboo leaves, bamboo flowers, and bamboo seeds every year.


    Of course, if the Water Mansion were to be breached, Chen Mobai would definitely toughen up.


    But for now, sustainable development is the main priority.


    He put the silver-edged and gold-edged bamboo leaves into two separate boxes, then, along with the fresh-keeping bag containing the jade bamboo shoots, stored them in his backpack and exited to open another side hall.


    But this hall was completely empty, with only a cushion in the center.


    It seemed to be Liu Yanpei¡¯s cultivation room.


    After walking in and making a round, confirming there were no hidden compartments, Chen Mobai left a little disappointed.


    He returned to Earth, taking the Jade Bamboo Shoots and Bamboo leaves with him.


    Then, unable to contain his excitement to showcase his culinary skills, he cut a jade bamboo shoot in half, and after slicing it, fried it in oil with the bacon he brought from Green Mountain Village.


    A bowl of sauteed bamboo shoots with meat made Chen Mobai finish a whole pot of cooked Spirit Rice.


    Fragrant, tender, crisp, delicious¡­


    He had never eaten such a delicious dish before.


    After eating satisfactorily, Chen Mobai did not forget to take out his Spirit-Testing Instruments.


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 28, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10]


    As expected, his Wood Spirit Root increased by 1 point.


    It¡¯s unknown whether it will decrease later like the Azure Blood Carp, or if there is a maximum limit.


    Even though he was already full, for the sake of comparison, Chen Mobai still directly sliced and ate the remaining half of the Jade Bamboo Shoot raw.


    To see if frying it would affect the effects of the Jade Bamboo Shoot.


    After eating, he tested it again with the Spirit-Testing Instruments.


    Wood 29.


    There was no effect.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai waited for another night, and tested it again the next morning, and indeed found that it had dropped.


    It went back to Wood 28.


    He was a little disappointed, but instantly he had a thought.


    It just so happened that his cultivation of the Pure Yang Daoist Body would damage his liver and gallbladder. If the Jade Bamboo Shoot could replenish this in advance.


    Is there a possibility¡­.

 Chapter 160 - Chapter 160: The First Sun Formsi

    Chapter 160: The First Sun Formsi


    Translator: 549690339 I


    Chen Mobai wondered if the fluctuating Spiritual Root Attribute Points due to hts diet could be used to offset the damage to his Spiritual Roots from cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body without affecting his original Spiritual Roots.


    No sooner said than done.


    He held onto a Spirit Stone and began cultivating One Yang Body.


    Two days later, looking at the data displayed on the Spirit-Testing Instrument screen, Chen Mobai was both delighted and somewhat disheartened. [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 27, Water 29, Fire 20, Earth 10] Progress was finally made in the phase transformation of his One Yang Body. The Spiritual Root Attribute Points of Wood and Water each lost 1 point, while the Fire Spirit Root grew by 3 points.


    However, the temporary 1 point increase in his Wood Spirit Root from eating half a piece of jade bamboo shoots was not consumed by his Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    Ideas are good, but reality said otherwise.


    These temporary increments in Spiritual Root points, while deceiving the Spirit-Testing Instruments, can¡¯t ¡°deceive¡± the Pure Yang Daoist Body. But this was of no major concern.


    Chen Mobai still felt happy about the progress he had made with his One Yang Body. 5


    According to experienced practitioners in Auxiliary Cultivation, each level of Pure Yang Daoist Body cultivation could increase Fire Spirit Root by up to 9 points.


    Chen Mobai was using Spirit Stones for the transformation, which was the most efficient method. If he made no mistakes, by the time he completes the Three Yang Body, his Fire Spirit Root could increase to 44 points.


    At that point, not only could the chances of Foundation Establishment be increased by 10%, but the time for practicing fire spells could also be significantly reduced.


    Cultivating One Yang Body requires 9 Spirit Stones.


    He had already used 3, making him a third of the way through the One Yang Body.


    It took nine days.


    That is to say, in about a month¡¯s time, he could complete One Yang.


    However, the ¡°Pure Yang Daoist Body¡± is notoriously easy to learn but difficult to master.


    When it comes to Two Yang Body, it requires 90 Spirit Stones.


    Three Yang Body, it requires 900 Spirit Stones.


    In other words, Chen Mobai needs to prepare a thousand Spirit Stones to complete the practice and prepare for Foundation Establishment.


    However, the number of Spirit Stones for the Three Yang Body was, for him still acceptable.


    After all, he had access to the teleportation channels of both Tianhe Realm and Di Yuan Star. As long as he transported goods diligently, earning a thousand Spirit Stones should not be a problem.


    The amount of Spirit Stones required from Four Yang to Six Yang was astronomical for Chen Mobai.


    However, it could be because he is still a Qi Practitioner. Perhaps once Foundation Establishment is achieved, it may not feel that much.


    Moreover, the leading figures in Auxiliary Cultivation speculated that the best way to progress from Four Yang to Six Yang is to use intermediate-grade Spirit Stones.


    From Seven Yang to Nine Yang, it¡¯s best to use upper-grade Spirit Stones. One high-grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to ten thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones. Just the thought of it made Chen Mobai scratch his head.


    Such resources were impossible to obtain in the Immortal Sect.


    Could it be possible that the Spirit Stone Mine controlled by the Divine Wood Sect in the Tianhe Realm could produce high-grade Spirit Stones?


    However, compared with other practitioners of the Pure Yang Scroll, at least he has the hope that he could significantly reduce the time by using resources. For other cultivators in the Immortal Sect, after the Three Yang Body, they all rely on slowly absorbing and transforming Spiritual Energy on their own for progress.


    Dreaming of cultivating with Spirit Stones was a wishful thinking. For the following eighteen days, Chen Mobai did not go to the Water Mansion nor did he go out.


    He stayed home and successfully completed the cultivation of the One Yang Body in one fell swoop.


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 31, Water 27, Fire 26, Earth 10] Looking at the spiritual root attribute points displayed on the spirit-testing instrument, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud.


    Seven jade bamboo shoots provided a permanent increase of seven points to his wood spirit root, but the One Yang Body reduced it by three points. In addition, three points were lost from his water spirit root, in exchange for a nine-point increase in his fire spirit root.


    The resources he spent for this were only nine lower-grade spirit stones. These depleted spirit stones could still be used as spiritual extracts, letting Qing Nu further refine the dan poison for reuse.


    After completing the One Yang Body, Chen Mobai made further progress in his cultivation of the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±, reaching the fifth level of Qi Cultivation. However, if he wanted to cultivate the Two Yang Body to upgrade his fire spirit root next, it would take him 270 days, or nine months, at the rate of one spirit stone every three days.


    For the Three Yang Body, it would be 2700 days, or seven and a half years.


    That is to say, he would be stuck at this stage for eight years.


    Chen Mobai had no choice in this matter. This rate of progression was already the fastest in the Immortal Gate. Moreover, he estimated that he would probably need the same amount of time to advance to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Most people who cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll usually don¡¯t have spirit stones and rely on slowly grinding spiritual energy instead.


    It took Ding Jinglue twenty years of hard cultivation to achieve the Three Yang Body.  6


    He could only hope that after breaking through the next Cultivation Realm, the speed of refining spirit stones would increase.


    Chen Mobai was very clear about his own situation. The Daoist Academy gives


    its students a school term of ten years.


    As long as he succeeded in building the Foundation Establishment within ten years, he wouldn¡¯t have to serve in the military service.


    So, he set a small goal for himself: to achieve Foundation Establishment success within ten years.


    With this mindset, Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts became clear.


    He glanced at the date and realized it was almost time to report to the Dance


    Tool Dao Academy, so he booked a train ticket on his phone.


    Then, he figured that the situation in the Tianhe Realm should have died down by now. They couldn¡¯t possibly be hunting him for a month, right?


    He teleported into the Water Mansion once again.


    This time, when he returned, Chen Mobai was taken aback.


    Outside the Water Mansion, there was a ¡°Message Talisman¡± floating.


    Someone had found this place!


    Chen Mobai immediately grabbed the Array Flag and checked the Azure Water Formation. Finding no signs of attack, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    He only let the ¡°Message Talisman¡± in after fully unleashing the Array¡¯s power and confirming that there were no issues.


    [The Guiding Spirit mission in Yun Country has been completed. In seven days, Single Uncle Master will be coming to Southstream Market to take you to Giant Tree Ridge. Remember not to be late, otherwise you¡¯ll have to march back to the sect on your own.]


    [- Yuan Chiye]


    Chen Mobai was surprised. He wondered how this true lineage member had managed to locate this Water Mansion.


    That being said, none of that mattered. He quickly checked the time and found that he wasn¡¯t late. There were still two days left. He breathed a sigh of relief.


    Chen Mobai immediately packed his bag and was about to head to the Southstream Market when he stopped abruptly.


    What if the South Mountain Thieves were still outside looking for him and happened to ambush him on the only way back to Southstream Market? What then?


    A cautious Chen Mobai stood hesitating.


    In the end, he gritted his teeth, found a Donghuang map in the study left by Liu


    Yanpei, and located Giant Tree Ridge on it.


    It was in Jian Country, right next door to Yun Country, and he would need to cross three thousand miles to get there.


    It would be time-consuming. He might need three months if he went over mountains and through rivers. However, for safety¡¯s sake, he decided not to go back to Southstream Market.


    Furthermore, who knows? He might find a teleportation array in some cultivator market along the way to shorten the distance.

    Having made up his mind, Chen Mobai relaxed a bit.


    With the One Yang Body completed, he planned to try taking the Fire Clearing


    Pill that Qing Nu had created to improve his divine sense.


    Entering the side hall for cultivation, Chen Mobai sat on the cushion. He was about to take the pill when he sensed that something was off.


    Why was the spiritual energy here so dense?

 Chapter 161 - Chapter 161: Taking the Fire Clearing Pill_l

    Chapter 161: Taking the Fire Clearing Pill_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes.


    He took out the mobile phone by his side and opened the app that measures spiritual energy.


    [Spiritual Energy Value: 89]


    How could this be? This is already at the value of a high-tier Rank-2 Spirit


    Vein.


    Chen Mobai thought there was a problem with the software, so he restarted it.


    After placing it on his crossed legs, he tested it again, but the value surprisingly rose by two points.


    His eyes widened. He sprang up, picked up his phone, and walked around the edges of this cultivation-specific side hall.


    He finally discovered that the closer he was to the meditation mat, the higher the spiritual energy value became.


    The peak was nearing 100.


    ¡°Could this mat be a treasure?¡±


    Chen Mobai murmured to himself. Not daring to be negligent, he gently picked up the mat.


    Then he placed it on the ground of the outer hall and measured it with his mobile phone again.


    [Spiritual Energy Value: 60]


    It was not because of the mat, so there must be something mysterious within this side hall.


    After a careful procedure of elimination, Chen Mobai found he was closer to the


    truth.


    He returned to the side hall and placed the mobile phone where the mat used to


    He measured the spiritual energy again.


    [Spiritual Energy Value: 93]


    ¡°It¡¯s here.¡±


    Chen Mobai confirmed that the vibrant spiritual energy almost at Rank-3 was surging from this spot.


    It seemed clear that Liu Yanpei was aware of this, hence he placed the meditation mat here. It was even possible that this cultivation room was specifically made for this purpose.


    So, what exactly caused such abundant spiritual energy in this place?


    Filled with curiosity, Chen Mobai lightly tapped the floor tile at this spot.


    Thud, thud, thud, followed by a series of knocks¡­


    He found a hollow brick and lifted it with his suction technique.


    in an instant, an even more vigorous and powerful spiritual energy gushed out.


    It even transformed into a visible white mist, rising like a spirit snake.


    Chen Mobai glanced at his phone screen.


    [Spiritual Energy Value: 112]


    Surprisingly, it had reached the level of a lower-level Rank-3- Could this place be the source of the Spirit Vein for the entire Water Mansion?


    Bending over, he waited for the mist of spiritual energy to dissipate, and the spiritual energy value to fall back to the Rank-2 level. Finally, Chen Mobai saw the full view under the brick.


    It was an empty space, housing a palm-sized, round, black iron plate. In the center of the plate, a transparent spirit stone was embedded.


    Chen Mobai recognized it. This iron plate must be the location of the Array Plate of the Azure Water Formation.


    He had no idea it was hidden here.


    The Azure Water Formation had the ability to ¡°gather spirits,¡± but even so, it wouldn¡¯t cause the leap from a Rank-2 Spirit Vein to a Rank-3 spiritual energy concentration.


    The reason must be the Spirit Stone embedded in the Array Plate.


    After confirming that the Array Plate was fine, Chen Mobai put his hand on the transparent Spirit Stone, faintly flashing with multicolored light from its interior.


    As soon as he touched it, he felt something extraordinary.


    Unprecedentedly potent spiritual energy surged into his arm¡¯s meridians and acupuncture points, turning his arm¡¯s skin red.


    This was a phenomenon caused by his body unable to withstand such a powerful spiritual energy.


    Chen Mobai immediately let go of his hand, feeling the numbness in his arm after being filled with powerful spiritual energy, his eyes were burning intensely as he stared at the spirit stone embedded on the array plate.


    If he wasn¡¯t mistaken, this should be a high-grade spirit stone.


    Only the spiritual energy contained in a high-grade spirit stone could be so powerful.


    After all, a high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to ten thousand lower-grade spirit stones.


    That is to say, the source of the Spirit Vein and the source of spiritual power for the Azure Water Formation of the water mansion all relied on this high-grade spirit stone embedded on the array plate.


    Was it necessary to go to such lengths just to eat a fish and bamboo shoots? Given Liu Yanpei¡¯s status, he definitely couldn¡¯t have access to a resource like high-grade spirit stone.


    Only the gluttonous Gold Core master from the Five Elements Sect could afford to give a high-grade Spirit Stone, specifically for creating a suitable environment in Lake Azure Cloud for cultivating Azure Blood Carp and Jade Bamboo shoots.


    After hesitating for a long stint, Chen Mobai eventually placed the pavement stone back.


    He also wanted to take this high-grade spirit stone, but doing so would basically ruin this water mansion.


    He guessed that the jade bamboo in the neighboring wing would stop growing due to the lack of spiritual energy, and the power of the entire Azure Water Formation would diminish drastically due to losing its source of spiritual power. He had some fondness for this water mansion and couldn¡¯t bear to see it destroyed.


    In addition to that, there was a more important reason, this high-grade Spirit Stone had already been activated and its spiritual energy was constantly leaking.


    Yet, due to the restraint of the Azure Water Formation¡¯s array plate, the rate of this leakage was kept within a controllable range. It formed a good interaction with the water vein of the Azure Waves Lake.


    Perhaps after a hundred years, a Rank-2 high-grade Spirit Vein could be cultivated from it.


    If Chen Mobai were to remove this high-grade spirit stone from the array plate, without the restraint of the Azure Water Formation, it would be like carrying a moving spirit vein.


    Walking around, especially in such an environment as the Tianhe realm, it would be blatantly advertising to Loose Cultivators that he carries a treasure and it would invite them to rob and kill him.


    ¡°I will go back and check the data to see if there¡¯s a way to seal the open high-grade Spirit Stone again.¡±


    Muttering to himself, Chen Mobai moved the meditation cushion back onto the array plate.


    He sat down cross-legged and consumed a bottle of Qi-replenishing Spirit


    Water.


    The spiritual energy, far richer and purer than before, was constantly gushing out from beneath him. He refined it along the route of Five Elements Cultivation and incorporated it into the large spiritual power vortex in the Dantian Qi Sea.


    Half a day later, Chen Mobai, who had completed cultivating the Five Elements, again put into motion Chic Robe True Man¡¯s transformation technique, beginning to convert the Five Elements¡¯ spiritual power into Pure Yang Scroll spiritual power.


    In this round of cultivation, his efficiency indeed improved a bit than before.


    The addition of the Fire Spirit Root greatly sped up his conversion of Five Elements spiritual power.


    After nearly two hours, Chen Mobai slowly ended his cultivation.


    Feeling his Five Elements Cultivation maintaining its progress at the Qi Cultivation¡¯s seventh level, he took out Qing Nu¡¯s ¡°Fire Clearing Pill contentedly.


    This is one of the very few spirit pills in the immortal gate that can increase divine sense targeted at Qi Practitioners.


    Qing Nu had already told him about all the taboos and refining methods for taking the medicine. Chen Mobai checked them one by one in his mind, confirmed that his spirit and body were at a peak state, opened the vial, and poured out a pill.


    It was a green pill.


    But originally it was pure white. Qing Nu knew Chen Mobai disliked the taste of medicine, so after its creation, she purposely coated it with a sugar layer. This not only sealed its medical taste but also improved its rather plain taste. Naturally, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know this. He just felt that the ¡°Fire Clearing Pill¡± was aptly named since it was indeed green.


    He opened his mouth to take it, and then swallowed it with warm water brought from home.

    The medicinal property of the Fire Clearing Pill has to slowly dissipate on an empty stomach within half an hour.


    Chen Mobai closed his eyes and used his divine sense to carefully sense it.


    A little while later, he felt waves of coolness rising from his abdomen, flowing into his heart, getting burned by the heart flame, then seeping into the sea of his consciousness.


    The Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique started operating.


    In his contemplation, the green paulownia seedling, originally with only two tender buds, seemed to receive the nourishment of a drizzle. It sprouted another green bud again..

    Water Mansion.


    Chen Mobai looked at the Green Paulownia seedling on his desk. This Spirit Wood, located in this Spiritually rich place, had already grown its third leaf.


    It was remarkably similar to the Jade Paulownia he was contemplating within his Divine Sense.


    The efficacy of the Fire Clearing Pili was indeed extraordinary.


    After consuming one, his stable Divine Sense unexpectedly increased by a fifth. The third leaf bud on the seedling under contemplation quickly grew under the boosting effect of the pill¡¯s potency.


    His Divine Sense had directly breached into a level, advancing prematurely into a realm equivalent to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Now, his Divine Sense could not only observe the Qi Sea in his Dantian but even extend it to his internal organs. However, if he wanted to scan every nook and cranny of his body along the meridians, he was still somewhat incapable. Considering the astonishing effects of the Fire Clearing Pill, Chen Mobai wanted to directly swallow the entire bottle that Qing Nu had given him. Unfortunately, even though this pill didn¡¯t possess toxicity, it could only be consumed once every seven days.


    Chen Mobai could only suppress the excitement in his heart and water the Green Paulownia seedling.


    This Spirit Wood would continue to grow as long as it was in a place abundant in Spiritual Energy.


    Since he brought it to the Water Mansion, he had never moved it.


    But its growth was extremely slow. Despite being a year, it had only just grown another leaf.


    Chen Mobai wondered if he should transplant it from the pot to the heap of red soil in the side hall.


    But after some consideration, he decided not to risk disrupting the Jade Bamboo¡¯s growth environment and abruptly transplant a new Spirit Wood.


    Just when Chen Mobai was preparing to return to the Immortal Gate.


    Suddenly, there was a movement in the Azure Water Formation.


    The entire Formation seemed to be slightly ripples. It appeared as if someone was striking at the formation from outside.


    Chen Mobai was alarmingly startled. He rushed out of his study, grabbed the Array Flag with one hand and his phone with the other.


    He thought it might be the South Mountain Thieves at his door, but under the defense of the Rank-2 Large Formation and knowing the source of spiritual power of the formation was a top-grade Spirit Stone, he felt assured and did not retreat to the Immortal Gate at once.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡±


    Chen Mobai took the Array Flag and walked out of the Water Mansion¡¯s gate, and through the thick ripples on the lake¡¯s surface, he saw only the ambiguo¡¯us figure of a person standing on the water.


    It seemed that the person had a way to see Chen Mobai encased within the formation and fired a Spirit Talisman towards him.


    Chen Mobai initially did not want to let this Sound Transmission Talisman into the formation but then noticed that its style looked familiar.


    Did it look similar to the Sound Transmission Talisman that Yuan Chiye used before?


    He recalled another incident, quickly waved the Array Flag, and accepted the Spirit Talisman.


    [We¡¯re only missing you. We¡¯ll be returning to the Giant Tree Ridge tomorrow, aren¡¯t you regretting joining our Sect?]


    It was indeed a True Disciple from the Divine Wood Sect.


    Chen Mobai slapped his forehead. He never expected that people from the Divine Wood Sect would come knocking at his door first.


    He waved the Array Flag and parted the water surface. Standing inside the mansion, he peered at the person on the lake; it was his younger-looking female senior apprentice, Ding Ying.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sister Ding, I was pursued by the South Mountain Thieves awhile ago, and it was by extreme effort that I managed to escape back here. I feared they would attack me on my way back to the market, so I didn¡¯t dare to go out.¡± Once Chen Mobai confirmed it was a True Disciple from Divine Wood Sect, he began to complain immediately.


    Upon hearing this, Ding Ying tilted her head and let out a laugh, then swung her right hand that was behind her back to reveal two severed heads, throwing them in front of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Upon closer inspection, Chen Mobai realized they were two members from the South Mountain Thieves who had tried to kill him.


    One of them was indeed He Qun, his eyes wide open, unresigned even in death.¡±


    ¡°Many thanks, Sister Ding, for helping me. I won¡¯t express my immense gratitude, but if there¡¯s anything you need in the Sect in future, don¡¯t hesitate to command me.¡±


    Chen Mobai was full of gratitude. Regardless, he showed his attitude right away.


    However, the Ding Ying opposite him waved her hand, indicating it was not her merit.


    ¡°It was Elder Brother E who personally took action and eradicated your troubles. However, Lei Tao, who was leading, escaped with an intermediate grade Rank-2 Spirit Talisman.¡±


    ¡°But you don¡¯t have to worry about Lei Tao seeking vengeance. Elder Brother E is very concerned with his reputation, so him letting Lei Tao slip away has actually aroused his competitive spirit.¡±


    ¡°It seems that Elder Brother E has taken this matter as the last worldly concern before his Foundation Establishment and is currently pursuing the chief of the South Mountain Thieves thousands of miles away.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai was taken aback.


    Even though he knew joining a large sect would provide him with substantial backing, he hadn¡¯t expected E Yun, the third-ranked True Disciple, to personally take action and remove his trouble.


    However, this was definitely a good thing.


    He had previously considered crossing Yun Country to go to Giant Tree Ridge, but now, he could simply follow the main squad.


    ¡°Thank you for Elder Brother E¡¯s help.¡±


    Chen Mobai paid his respects towards the void, just to show his manners.


    ¡°Hurry up and pack your things and come with me. Everyone else arrived at South Creek Fang Market three or four days ago. If it wasn¡¯t for your special Spiritual Root Talent, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have made a special trip to notify you.¡±


    Ding Ying rolled her eyes as she spoke, seeming to think that Chen Mobai shouldn¡¯t have made her go to such trouble.


    ¡°Yes, Elder Sister Ding.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t even consider inviting Ding Ying into his Water Mansion for a cup of tea. After all, there were quite a few precious things inside, so it was best not to reveal them to outsiders.


    After coming down, he only grabbed his backpack, then directly closed the Water Mansion and maximized the Array Flag of the Azure Water Formation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Ding Ying didn¡¯t care about what Chen Mobai¡¯s Cave Dwelling looked like. After seeing him come up, she took a green leaf out from her storage bag.


    With a pinch of her cherry lips, she gently blew onto it.


    The green leaf fluttered in the wind, transforming into a Green Leaf Boat.


    ¡°Get on.¡±


    Ding Ying jumped on first. Chen Mobai had initially thought it was a Device for Reservoir crossing, but once he got on, he realized that it was his lack of experience.


    This Green Leaf Boat, surprisingly, lifted them both into the sky.


    Fortunately, he was not afraid of heights and had flown before. After taking a few deep breaths in mid-air, he quickly adjusted to the sensation of suddenly taking off.


    Ding Ying looked surprised at this.


    Even among the True Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, not everyone owned a Flying Artifact.


    The first time a cultivator flies into the sky, they would at least tremble in fear Chen Mobai, however, remained calm and composed. Could it be that he had experienced a Flying Artifact before?¡±


    However, she didn¡¯t bother to think too much about it.


    Chen Mobai was also afraid of making mistakes by speaking too much, so he


    kept his mouth shut the whole way.


    The two were silent during the journey and arrived within the South Creek Fang Market¡¯s range about half an hour later.


    Ding Ying called back the Green Leaf Boat, landing it on a barren mountain in front of the market.


    ¡°Don¡¯t let anyone know I have a Flying Artifact.¡±


    After saying this, she headed towards the market.


    ¡°Yes, Elder Sister Ding.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly nodded in acknowledgment and followed her.


    Indeed, the South Creek Fang Market was filled with many unfamiliar Loose Cultivators.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    These were the new disciples admitted into the Divine Wood Sect by Yuan Chiye and Ding Ying after their talent assessments throughout Yun Country this month.


    Chen Mobai counted roughly a hundred people.


    Clearly divided into four groups, they were standing in the central plaza of the Fang Market.


    As he approached, one group immediately surrounded him.


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, you¡¯ve finally arrived..¡±

 Chapter 163 - Chapter 163: Yu Lian, Luo family’s brother and sister_l

    Chapter 163: Yu Lian, Luo family¡¯s brother and sister_l


    Translator: 549690339


    The first to come forward was the genius of the Liu family, Liu Wenbo.


    In the absence of Chen Mobai, as a child of a prestigious family and possessing the excellent talent of having three spiritual roots, he has garnered the support of the majority of the loose cultivators, effectively becoming their leader.


    ¡°junior Brother Liu, are all these people loose cultivators recruited from other places in Yun Country by our sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai joined the Divine Wood Sect for cultivation and Foundation Building Pills; he had no interest in power struggles.


    ¡°Yes, there are four Cultivator Fang Markets in Yun Country. Ours here in South Creek is the closest to the Divine Wood Sect, so it has become the assembly point for this departure.¡±


    Although Liu Wenbo has already rallied most of the loose cultivators in South Creek Fang Market, he still held the same respectful attitude towards Chen


    Mobai as before.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, then chose a less crowded place to sit down.


    Liu Wenbo was a bit confused by his actions.


    Wasn¡¯t this man supposed to be power-hungry?


    However, since Chen Mobai was not stepping up, he could only grit his teeth and return to his original position.


    Above the streets of South Creek Fang Market, cultivators who stood out among the four major Cultivator Fang Markets in Yun Country and joined the Divine Wood Sect, distinctly stood in four clusters.


    Among them, a cold-faced youth in black clothes led the group on the east side.


    The group on the west side was crowded around a male and a female cultivator, both in the later stages of Qi Cultivation.


    The group on the north side was a disorganized bunch, haphazardly arranged.


    And naturally, the group on the south side represented South Creek Fang Market. Many people who were standing behind Liu Wenbo looked hesitant when they saw Chen Mobai approaching, some even ran over to him directly.


    ¡°Why are you coming over here?¡±


    Chen Mobai was surprised to see the person who came over.


    It was Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Among us, you are the one who most resembles a True Disciple. Pm siding with you now, so if you successfully establish your foundation in the future, it¡¯ll be a major accomplishment for me too.¡±


    Zhuo Ming lifted her pretty face and spoke her true feelings without hesitation.


    ¡°Oh, you just believe in me like that.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw that Liu Wenbo wanted him to step up to face disciples from the other three directions. He had decided to be cautious in the Tianhe Realm, especially after surviving series of attacks from loose cultivator swordsmen and South Mountain Thieves. Now, Chen Mobai wanted nothing but to enhance his Cultivation Level and establish his foundation.


    He was not interested in such troublesome matter that would obviously drain much of his energy.


    ¡°Of course, you have the best talent among us, at such a young age you¡¯ve already reached the seventh level of qi cultivation. If I don¡¯t have faith in you, who else should I have faith in?¡±


    Zhuo Ming glanced at Liu Wenbo while speaking.


    Chen Mobai just smiled and didn¡¯t mind her words.


    At that moment, another five or six loose cultivators came over and greeted


    him.


    ¡°Senior Brother Chen.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t shun them, but calmly nodded.


    In a short while, nearly half of the loose cultivators who were initially beside


    Liu Wenbo had come over to his side.


    Even if Chen Mobai wanted to keep a low profile, his extraordinary talent revealed when testing his spiritual root, along with the attitude of being personally brought here by a True Disciple of Divine Wood Sect, made many loose cultivators who resented the cultivation families automatically pledged themselves to him.


    It seemed that Liu Wenbo had already anticipated this, his face did not change as he calmly stood at the front of the team.


    He has good composure in dealing with things.


    Chen Mobai silently thought.


    ¡°Are there any people I should pay special attention to?¡±


    A sentence reached Zhuo Ming¡¯s ear, and she immediately pointed to a stern-looking young man in black attire and a boy and girl standing at the front of two other groups.


    ¡°His name is Yu Lian, a dual spiritual root prodigy. He¡¯s already accomplished the eighth level of Qi Cultivation and is favored by Senior Brother Yuan. 1 heard that Uncle Shan also intends to take him under his wing and pass down his mantle.¡±


    Chen Mobai glanced at the stern-faced youth, realizing that this person was probably Divine Wood Sect¡¯s greatest gain during this Ferrying Spirit Mission in Yun Country.


    ¡°Is he a loose cultivator or from a distinguished family?


    ¡°He hails from a small sect. His master passed away three years ago, making him the sect leader. However, for his Foundation Establishment, he boldly decided to join the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai squinted slightly, took a closer look at this Yu Lian, then motioned towards the poised-looking boy and girl.


    ¡°They are the prodigies of the Luo family. The boy is Luo Yixiu, and the girl is LUO Yixuan. Both are tri-spiritual root. The former has reached the eighth level of Qi cultivation and the latter, the seventh level. They¡¯ve always been raised at Tianfeng Mountain, the Luo family headquarters. It¡¯s unclear why they were allowed to leave and join the Divine Wood Sect this time.


    Zhuo Ming might seem disinterested, but she had already thoroughly researched the talented geniuses among the four Fang Markets in Yun Country over the past few days.


    ¡°Are there not many people coming from the north?1


    Chen Mobai then pointed towards the disorderly group of people. Zhuo Ming shook her head and explained why.


    ¡°That area borders the Snow Country. Two years ago, when the Snow-blowing Palace publicized its spirit-testing event, many loose cultivators responded and participated; those with outstanding spiritual roots were scouted in advance.¡±


    ¡°Oh, does the Divine Wood Sect not interfere with this kind of situation?¡±


    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t know.¡±


    Zhuo Ming shook her head; details of a contest among the higher-ups were beyond the reach of a small loose cultivator like her.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded his head slightly.


    He noticed Yu Lian and the Luo siblings were also observing him. He naturally responded with a smile.


    The three of them all reacted indifferently.


    Under the watchful eyes of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s true disciples, no one dared to cause trouble.


    Time quickly moved onto the next morning.


    A giant floating airship appeared over Southstream Market, accompanied by a thunderous noise.


    ¡°Everyone on board, maintain order.


    Yuan Chiye¡¯s voice resounded, and the floating airship slowly descended.


    Chen Mobai saw a middle-aged man with a beard standing at the highest point of the ship¡¯s bow, with Yuan Chiye and Ding Ying by his left and right, showing respectful attitudes.


    Obviously, this was the Foundation Establishment elder of Divine Wood Sect stationed in Yun Country, Shan Hongyi.


    Yu Lian didn¡¯t hesitate at all; he leaped onto the ship first and then paid his respects to the three from the Divine Wood Sect.


    With him leading, the Luo siblings followed suit.


    Liu Wen Bo was eager, but hesitated at the last moment. After some thought, he walked up to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Brother Chen, after you.¡±


    Chen Mobai was surprised; he didn¡¯t expect to command such respect in Wen Bo¡¯s eyes.


    He initially planned to pass on the position of spokesman for the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s new disciples from Southstream Market. But he didn¡¯t foresee Wen Bo stepping back in this situation.


    Given the circumstances, Chen Mobai had no reason to reject the offer.


    He was the fourth to board the floating airship.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Then it was Liu Wen Bo¡¯s turn.


    After the five of them boarded, the remaining loose cultivators hesitated no more and chose their spots on the ship deck to jump onto.


    ¡°Is this the one you mentioned?¡±


    Shan Hongyi asked Yuan Chiye beside him. The latter wondered about Chen Mobai, aware that another true disciple had personally undertaken a task due to his absence yesterday; this level of attention piqued the interest of Elder Shan.


    ¡°Yes, Brother E thinks he¡¯s worth cultivating..¡±

 Chapter 164 - Chapter 164 Three Divine Trees_l

    Chapter 164 Three Divine Trees_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Hmph, you haven¡¯t even achieved Foundation Establishment, but you re already thinking about such matters. You¡¯re not afraid you¡¯ll crumble midway, are you?¡±


    Shan Hongyi appeared to be displeased with E Yun, and his words were tinged


    with criticism.


    Upon hearing this, Yuan Chiye had no choice but to pretend he didn¡¯t hear anything.


    ¡°Elder, all are present now.¡±


    Finding it necessary to change the subject, he checked the name roster against his memory of the initial spiritual testing. Upon confirming its accuracy, he handed the roster to Shan Hongyi.


    ¡°Mmm, let¡¯s go then.¡±


    After glancing at the roster, Shan Hongyi returned it and stomped his foot, infusing a massive surge of spiritual power into the power source of the Floating Airship.


    Amidst the creaking sounds¡ª


    The huge flying artifact, crafted from wood, began to ascend.


    Many of the Loose Cultivators were amazed, standing at the vessel¡¯s rail, their hands gripping the railing tightly. As they watched the Southstream Market on the ground grow increasingly smaller, they marveled at and enjoyed their first flying experience.


    Quite a few people turned pale, but under the gaze of Shan Hongyi and the two true disciples, all of them insisted on standing.


    Even the Luo Siblings were somewhat pale.


    In contrast, Yu Lian stood there, his face as composed as ever.


    Chen Mobai took a look around and then found a spot to close his eyes and meditate.


    A day and a night later¡ª


    They finally arrived at Giant Tree Ridge.


    In response to the commotion around him, Chen Mobai opened his eyes, walked to the ship¡¯s edge, and looked down.


    He saw towering trees reaching into the sky, forming a sea of green foliage.


    As per his assessment, each tree had to be a hundred meters long, with a diameter equivalent to two people embracing. The three enormous trees at the center even reached the clouds, their tops were invisible. They must have been thousands of meters in length.


    This was the famed ¡°Three Divine Trees¡± upon which the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s reputation was built, right?


    Apparently, they were transplanted from an immortal¡¯s secret realm by Yuan Daojun for cultivation of a secret longevity technique. After Daojun ascended, these three Divine Trees served as his cultivation site and survived countless wars because no one dared to destroy them.


    They genuinely deserved their reputation as Divine Trees¡¯.


    Comparing them to the jade phoenix tree in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai conceded that due to the limitation of his realm level, he could not discern any difference.


    As everyone admired the view, Shan Hongyi created a talisman, and a ripple emerged in the air, creating a portal.


    An unprecedented dense spiritual qi flooded their senses, and in merely a moment, Chen Mobai felt his Five Elements Cultivation improving.


    Was this truly the Rank-4 top-grade Spirit Vein?


    While he was still marveling inwardly, they entered the portal. It felt as if a leaf boat fell into an endless sea. All they could see were dense green leaves and trees.


    The Floating Airship significantly slowed its speed. After gliding for about fifteen minutes, they finally broke out of the sea of trees and landed on a vast plain.


    A string of grand wooden halls carved with dragons and phoenixes appeared before their eyes.


    A broad timber path, about ten meters wide, extended from the landing platform where their airship touched down, leading directly to a grand hall suspended in the air, between two giant trees.


    ¡°New disciples should first report to our Ancestor worship hall.¡±


    Upon landing, Shan Hongyi withdrew the Floating Airship and vanished.


    As the guide, Yuan Chiye immediately stepped forward to call them.


    Chen Mobai and his group followed him along the long wooden path to the grand hall suspended between the trees.


    Three disciples from the Divine Wood Sect were already waiting for them with writing materials in hand.


    After Yuan Chiye led them to register their names, he brought them to a place called Bud Hall.


    ¡°All new disciples who join must chop wood for three months.


    ¡°After three months, if you have made no errors, you can choose a department


    of your preference.¡±


    ¡°These are your nameplates. New disciples can go to the Book Pavilion to receive a Qi Cultivation Technique and a Spell.¡±


    -Every month, you can also go to Spirit Treasure Pavilion to receive your share of Spirit Stones as a ritual of the Divine Wood Sect. The number of Spirit Stones will depend on your cultivation level and the number of tasks you¡¯ve accomplished.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll be addressing any queries regarding the rules of the Divine Wood Sect here for the next month. If you have questions about cultivation techniques, you can approach me as well. However, given the limitations of my cultivation level, it¡¯s another story whether I can answer your questions.


    After Yuan Chiye finished his explanation, he distributed the nameplates to everyone.


    When Chen Mobai received his, he saw it was a piece of black ebony, inscribed with a sophisticated formation. After infusing it with a drop of blood, it turned into a magic artifact that only he could activate.


    He could use the nameplate to enter or leave Giant Tree Ridge.


    However, before entering or leaving, they first needed to apply to another department of the Divine Wood Sect. Specialists would input an additional restriction into their nameplate, which would be recognized by the Large Formation, granting them passage.


    Chen Mobai learned all these details after Yuan Chiye¡¯s explanation.


    Three days passed without him noticing, and he had already been in the Divine Wood Sect for three days.


    Every morning, he listened carefully to the rules of the sect explained by Yuan Chiye.


    Initially, everyone else was also engaged, but soon enough, they started to lose interest.


    While Yuan Chiye was lecturing, they were sitting below and meditating.


    The spiritual qi in Giant Tree Ridge was indeed extremely dense. Compared to Yun Country, their cultivation progress was astoundingly fast. Everyone was eagerly refining the spirit qi.


    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s it for today¡¯s lesson. Those seven of you who are scheduled today, come with me to the Book Pavilion.¡±


    After finishing his lecture, Yuan Chiye stood up and walked towards the exit of the lecture hall.


    For the newcomers like Chen Mobai who had just joined the Divine Wood Sect, their most anticipated event was naturally selecting their cultivation techniques from the Book Pavilion.


    However, with so many new disciples, it was impossible to let over a hundred people swarm in at once.


    Moreover, they didn¡¯t know the way.


    Hence, the kind-hearted Yuan Chiye decided to take seven disciples to the Book Pavilion after finishing his lecture each day.


    In this manner, everyone would have made their selection after half a month.


    Because of their strong enthusiasm about picking a cultivation technique, many Loose Cultivators offered up their most precious spirit stones to Yuan Chiye. He accepted those with grace and arranged the order according to the number of spirit stones given.


    Chen Mobai, being a prodigy, was scheduled for the third day just by symbolically giving one spirit stone.


    It seemed that to remain in step with him, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming were also scheduled for today.


    Yuan Chiye guided the seven of them through numerous timber trails to a giant tree about ten meters in diameter.


    This tree was, impressively, the Book Pavilion.


    Yuan Chiye presented his nameplate for verification, following which a door appeared at the base of the tree.

    ¡°Follow me inside, make sure not to damage anything in there. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be expelled from the sect.¡±


    The usually gentle Yuan Chiye spoke in a tone that was unexpectedly serious, before leading them in.


    All nodded their agreement.


    Upon entering the giant tree, they realized its core was hollowed out.


    A range of bookshelves were carved out around the circular tree walls, with ladders and walkways leading to various levels, all the way up to the hundred-meter-high ceiling. Truly spectacular..

    Chapter 165: Choosing the Second Phase Skill 1

    ¡°Brother Hu,¡±


    The monk standing guard at the book pavilion was an old man. Yuan Chiye greeted him.


    ¡°New disciples can choose a Qi Cultivation Technique and a Spell from the shelves.¡±


    Brother Hu nodded in response to Yuan Chiye, emphasized the rules to Chen Mobai and the other six while holding a book, and then waved his hand, implying them to proceed.


    ¡°Once you have made your selection, come over here for registration.¡±


    Yuan Chiye added, as Zhuo Ming and the others nodded in agreement, and then, unable to control their excitement, headed towards the neatly arranged books on the shelves.


    Chen Mobai and Liu Wenbo, however, were not in a hurry. The latter even bowed in respect to Brother Hu.


    When the rest of the six had left, Chen Mobai walked up to the two older brothers.


    ¡°Can I choose the ¡®Dual Phase Technique¡¯?¡±


    Chen Mobai had a clear goal. His primary aim in joining Divine Wood Sect was to get the Foundation Building Pill and the Dual Phase Technique.


    ¡°Are you sure you want to choose the Dual Phase Technique? We generally don¡¯t recommend ordinary disciples practice this technique. Although it can increase the chances of Core Formation, it requires twice the resources and time beforehand,¡± Brother Hu frowned and advised after hearing this.


    ¡°Ever since my time on Green Light Island, when I heard Brother Qi Rui talk about Dual Phase Technique, I¡¯ve yearned for it. I hope today, I can fulfill this wish.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Brother Hu appeared troubled, turning his head to look at Yuan Chiye. Since he was in charge of the new entrants, Xu was already half a teacher.


    Brother Hu wanted him to offer some advice.


    swear an oath with your


    ¡°After becoming a True Disciple, you can get the Dual Phase Technique for free. If you choose this technique now, you need to not only r¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª


    Dao-heart but also submit a voluntary application, lest you regret stalling the


    progress of Qi Cultivation in the future.¡±


    After Yuan Chiye finished speaking, Brother Hu once again started talking, stating the disadvantages of practicing the Dual Phase Technique to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I used to think of myself as extraordinarily talented, capable of managing two techniques concurrently, and even had hopes of achieving Core Formation.¡± ¡°But the thirty years I spent in the sect after joining taught me that it is better to face reality unless one has extraordinary talent or substantial family support.¡±


    ¡°Now, even though I¡¯m at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, due to the Dual Phase Technique involving the concurrent practice of the techniques of wood and water, I missed the prime age for Foundation Establishment and can only sit in this book cavern.¡±


    These words finished, Yuan Chiye¡¯s face turned slightly unnatural.


    He, too, was practicing the Dual Phase Technique, was cultivating wood and water, and was resource-poor.


    However, he was flexible, taking on all sorts of tasks as a True Disciple, even tedious tasks like teaching sect rules to new disciples ¨C he was thus a little better off than Brother Hu.


    He¡¯d achieved the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation with his water attribute technique, but his Longevity Sutra was stuck at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation, requiring several years of intense cultivation to balance the Dual Phase and attempt Foundation Establishment.


    However, Yuan Chiye¡¯s Foundation Building Pill was already in hand and nearly twenty more years were left until he reached the age of sixty; he was sure he would not follow in Brother Hu¡¯s footsteps.


    Staying firm on his thoughts, Chen Mobai wrote a voluntary application under the guidance of Yuan Chiye. Then he followed Brother Hu to a locked bookcase.


    Upon opening it, they found it filled with a hundred well-copied volumes of the ¡°Dual Phase Technique.¡±


    Brother Hu casually pulled out a volume and handed it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Brother Hu, these are hand-copied, will there be any errors or missing words?¡±


    Chen Mobai flipped through it, asked this question with a worrying look, which earned him a side-eye from Brother Hu.


    ¡°This was printed directly using a spell, and only because it was originally


    hand-copied does it resemble a manual copy.¡±


    ¡°It was originally written by Fu, our ancestral founder. It even has his insights.¡± ¡°You disciples are very fortunate. Back when I was at the Five Elements Sect the notes and insights of Core Formation seniors were only accessible through exchanging sect contribution points, unlike now, where it¡¯s directly printed in the technique and given to you.¡±


    Chen Mobai listened, looking grateful.


    Having the notes of predecessors to refer to would surely make comprehension easier during cultivation. He had a deep understanding of this from his auxiliary cultivation software.


    ¡°You can also choose a spell.¡±


    After both men returned, Yuan Chiye reminded him.


    In Tianhe Realm, Cultivation Techniques and Spells were categorized separately.


    This was also why Chen Mobai noticed He Qun selling the Blackwater Cultivation Technique separately from the Water Controlling Technique, Water Elemental Shield, and others in the Southstream Market. It wasn¡¯t because He Qun was greedy, but because the traditional rules in Tianhe Realm were always like this.


    Brother Yuan, do you have any recommendations?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know which famous spells were available in the Divine Wood Sect.


    With the Immortal Gate Spell Library in his possession, he didn¡¯t urgently need the spells of the Tianhe Realm, so he hadn¡¯t inquired beforehand. Instead, he directly asked Yuan Chiye without feeling embarrassed.


    Practicing the Dual Phase Technique requires a lot of resources, and our Divine Wood Sect is renowned for its vast medicinal fields. You can practice the ¡®Spirit Needle Technique¡¯ or the ¡®Falling Rain Technique. After finishing chopping logs, when applying to go to the medicinal fields, many elders would be willing to accept you.¡±


    If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t asked, Yuan Chiye wouldn¡¯t have bothered mentioning it. But since he was asked and Chen Mobai was someone he had his eye on, he gave some guidance.


    Due to the ¡°Falling Rain Technique¡± requiring water attribute spiritual power for the most effective execution, Chen Mobai ultimately chose the ¡°Spirit Needle Technique,¡± which could be practiced by any of the Five Elements spiritual power.


    Thus, among the seven, Chen Mobai was the first to choose his Cultivation Technique and Spell.


    ¡°By the way, Brother Yuan, I once met a disciple from the Flying Needle Sect. I wonder which is more powerful when compared to the Spirit Needle Technique?¡±


    Seeing that it was getting boring standing there, he casually started chatting with Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°Flying Needle Sect? Seems like there is an affiliated sect under Golden Cliff that matches your description.¡±


    Saying this, Yuan Chiye pulled out a thick book from his storage bag, flipped through a few pages, and found information about someone named Red Needle Daoist.


    ¡°Found it. The Flying Needle Sect was quite renowned in the past, but after the last Foundation Establishment practitioner passed away around sixty years ago, it¡¯s likely nearing its end.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw Yuan Chiye inspecting the information and then casually placing the book back into his storage bag. It reminded him of the storage bag he had picked up on Green Light Island, which he still hadn¡¯t managed to open yet.


    Brother Yuan, can these storage bags be purchased within the sect?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Of course, you can get anything from our sect at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. The smallest cubic storage bag is a hundred Spirit Stones. Are you interested? I happen to have an extra one.¡±


    ¡°How did Brother Yuan get this extra one?¡±


    ¡°Heh, some Loose Cultivators tried to rob me, but they ended up being killed by me, leaving their storage bag. After refining the brand of the previous owner with my divine sense, I got over 200 Spirit Stones. Having extras doesn¡¯t make much of a difference, if you really want it, I can sell it to you for 80 Spirit Stones.¡±


    After hearing Yuan Chiye¡¯s words, Chen Mobai immediately declined. He couldn¡¯t afford it.


    However, the mention of refining with his divine sense, was something he stored in his memory..

    Chapter 166: On The Road_l


    Translator: 549690339


    It wasn¡¯t until almost noon, when Yuan Chiye was becoming impatient, that Zhuo Ming and the other five finally made their reluctant choices and came down from the bookshelf.


    All they could do was watch; they could not take books themselves but had to rely on Elder Brother Hu.


    ¡°Huh, you also want the Dual Element Technique?¡±


    Surprisingly, Liu Wenbo had made the same choice as Chen Mobai, which greatly surprised Elder Brother Hu.


    ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t expect that Elder Brother Chen and I would make the same choice.¡±


    Given that Liu Wenbo comes from a familial line of immortal cultivators, his choice of Dual Element Technique was certainly a decision made carefully with the help of his family.


    ¡°Fill this first.¡±


    Elder Brother Hu advised once more, making Liu Wenbo hesitant.


    However, knowing that Chen Mobai had already made his choice seemed to help him make up his mind. He gritted his teeth, wrote his volunteer letter, and took a copy of Dual Element Technique.


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, what is the Dual Element Technique?¡±


    On the way back, Zhuo Ming, who had chosen the Complete Immortal Longevity Scripture for Qi Cultivation, was very curious. Although she was informed about the small affairs, she was still unaware of such things as the Dual Element Technique as a loose cultivator.


    Chen Mobai did not hide anything, after all, they were members of the Divine Wood Sect now.


    ¡°If there¡¯s such a miraculous cultivation technique, then I¡¯m at a big loss.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming opened her mouth wide, her face full of regret.


    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s a blessing in disguise.¡±


    On the other side, Liu Wenbo joined the conversation with these words.


    As Zhuo Ming looked puzzled, he explained the difficulties of practicing Dual Element Technique. Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming instantly understood.


    Being a loose cultivator herself, she definitely didn¡¯t have to worry about the Dual Element Technique until she became a true disciple.


    ¡°By the way, Junior Sister Zhuo, are you planning to switch to the ¡®Immortal Longevity Scripture¡¯?¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed to the book Zhuo Ming was holding. The Dual Element Technique required the practice of two cultivation techniques that supplemented each other from the Five Elements.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, there are usually two ways to practice: Water-Wood or Wood-Fire!


    Among these, the path chosen by Yuan Chiye was Water-Wood. If he successfully reached the Core Formation stage, the spiritual power gained from the Immortal Longevity Scripture would absorb the essence of that water cultivation technique.


    The other path was Wood-Fire.


    This was the path chosen by Chen Mobai.


    For his Fire attribute, he would certainly choose Pure Yang Scroll; for the Wood attribute, in order to hide in the Divine Wood Sect, he could only choose the Immortal Longevity Scripture.


    In Divine Wood Sect, regardless of which path is taken, the basic Wood attribute cultivation technique is the Immortal Longevity Scripture.


    Aside from this technique being a standard of the Divine Wood Sect, it also increased the lifespan of the cultivator, giving them more time to reach the threshold of the Core Formation phase.


    Thus, after acquiring the Dual Element Technique, Chen Mobai naturally had to find a way to get the Immortal Longevity Scripture.


    He had asked Elder Brother Hu at the Book Pavilion. Since it was the most common Qi Cultivation technique in the Divine Wood Sect, every disciple could exchange for it.


    The price was not too expensive for Chen Mobai, 50 Spirit Stones.


    If he had not been hard-pressed for cash, having only 30 Spirit Stones left after practicing the One Yang Technique, Chen Mobai would definitely want to buy a copy.


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, this is a benefit given for free by the sect to new disciples, and a Dao Heart Oath was taken when receiving it. It cannot be sold.¡±


    Upon understanding Chen Mobai¡¯s meaning, Zhuo Ming vehemently shook her head.


    Although she was only a loose cultivator, she knew the importance of the Dao Heart Oath. If broken, it would plant the seed of a Heart Demon.


    ¡°That¡¯s a pity.¡±


    Chen Mobai was just asking, but soon he seemed to remember something and turned to look at Liu Wenbo.


    The latter was a bit puzzled and didn¡¯t know why he was being stared at.


    ¡°Junior Brother Liu, since you¡¯ve chosen the Two-Phase Technique, your family must have already prepared the two Qi cultivation techniques for you.¡± ¡°Correct, Senior Brother Chen, you mean¡­.¡±


    Both were smart individuals, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t need to further express himself for Liu Wenbo to understand his motives.


    No matter which path Liu Wenbo¡¯s Two-Phase Technique took, The Elixir of Immortality was essential.


    And since Liu Wanbo¡¯s Elixir of Immortality was prepared by his family, there was naturally no restriction due to the Heart Oath.


    ¡°If Senior Brother Chen needs it, I can copy it for you upon return.¡±


    Liu Wenbo had a tactful way of handling matters. A mere Qi Cultivation technique, in his eyes, could serve as a gesture of goodwill to establish a relationship with Chen Mobai, a potential true disciple.


    ¡°Then I will not hold back, Junior Brother Liu, feel free to command me in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai initially wanted to borrow The Elixir of Immortality on credit, to no avail. He hadn¡¯t expected Liu Wenbo to be so generous.


    For a moment, Chen Mobai felt guilty for his suspicion towards the cultivators from Tianhe Realm, supposing only some loose cultivators have malicious intentions, whereas the majority were decent like the Immortal Sect.


    After returning to Bud Hall, Chen Mobai and the others immediately proposed a closed-door training session to Yuan Chiye.


    He did not refuse them, only reminding them that they still had to fulfill their monthly quota of firewood. Aside from that, there was no restriction on their cultivation, attending his lectures on the sect rules was optional.


    The Red Sun Wood was the most abundant species in the Giant Tree Ridge. The controlled gentle heat produced by its combustion made it a highly popular material among Rank-1 Alchemists and Artifact Refiners.


    However, the sect contribution points for chopping wood were too little, very few disciples from the Divine Wood Sect took up this task, hence it fell upon the newcomers.


    One could only earn one sect contribution point by chopping a hundred standard size logs.


    New disciples were expected to deliver three hundred logs every day.


    Chen Mobai, who was in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, worked diligently from dawn to dusk using the iron axe provided by the sect but could only manage to chop approximately five hundred logs.


    For those in the middle stage, they had to give it their all just to meet the task requirements.


    Luckily, most of them were loose cultivators who had joined them, and a few from small sects were at least at the fourth stage of Qi Cultivation.


    The task of chopping wood was generally completed adequately.


    Chen Mobai was confident he could make up for the Red Sun Wood deficit later, but Zhuo Ming and the others couldn¡¯t afford to close the door for even a day without having to go out and chop wood.


    ¡°Is this kid not afraid of being punished by me for not meeting the monthly quota?¡±


    Watching Chen Mobai¡¯s seven-day lock-up record, Yuan Chiye mumbled to himself.


    Little did he know.


    The wooden house was already empty.


    Chen Mobai, with his possessions and copy of the Elixir of Immortality, had taken a seat by the window of the train, heading towards the Crimson City Cave.


    ¡°Excuse me, that¡¯s my seat.¡±


    While Chen Mobai was engrossed in his book, a pleasant voice rang by his ear. He turned his head to find a beautifully youthful and seductive young woman. She had a light touch of makeup, her eyebrows were sharp like a crescent moon, and her face was fair. She looked about seventeen or eighteen, with a slight smile on her lips, her cherry lips gently pursed as though lip-glossed, emitting an alluring charm.


    ¡°Pardon me.¡±

    Chen Mobai had crowded her half-space with his bag. Realizing this, he immediately apologized and moved the bag to his feet.


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    The young lady let out a slight smile then stepped in.


    She wore a simple white half-sleeve blouse showing her full and rounded curves, and a slender waist. Below, she wore a black pleated skirt with fine long legs in white knee-length stockings, paired with black round-toed shoes. Her pure appearance carried a hint of charm.


    She pushed her half-body tall pink suitcase under the seat, after sitting next to Chen Mobai, she took off the big backpack she was carrying and placed it between her bare beautiful legs, on top of the skirt and stockings..

 Chapter 167 - Chapter 167:1 am from Dance Tool Dao Academy _1

    Chapter 167:1 am from Dance Tool Dao Academy _1


    Translator: 549690339


    She¡¯s really pretty.


    These were the thoughts that ran through Chen Mobai¡¯s mind as he gazed at her.


    A faint fragrant aroma wafted from her, extraordinarily pleasant.


    However, he quickly refocused his attention on the Immortality Scripture in his hand.


    Given that this technique belonged to the Tianhe Realm, there were no online resources or video lectures available for it in the cultivation world, leaving him to his own understanding and study.


    Honestly speaking, this was quite challenging for Chen Mobai.


    He was used to looking for answers on the Internet whenever he encountered a problem, being left to his own comprehension to study the Immortality Scripture written in classical language was a tall ask.


    Upon receiving this Qi cultivation technique, he along with his fellow new disciples sought advice from Yuan Chiye.


    However, the latter only taught the rules of the Divine Wood Sect, and additional spirit stone payment was required if they wanted to seek guidance on cultivation techniques.


    The price was not low either; one class costed 10 spirit stones.


    But Yuan Chiye did not intend to cheat these new disciples. He had used up his twenty years of savings and borrowed many contribution points from his fellow disciples just to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill, leaving him indebted and penniless.


    Under such circumstances, Yuan Chiye abandoned his prestige as a True Disciple and started taking on jobs intensively, doing everything to earn spirit stones and sect contribution points.


    Yuan Chiye also informed them about the lecture hall that the sect had established specifically for the growth of new disciples.


    The lecture hall had many cultivators who had failed to establish their foundation; they gave free classes periodically to pay back the contribution points owed to the sect. Some taught cultivation techniques, while others taught about talismans, spirit plants, alchemy, and other Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal.


    They could potentially learn the practice of the Immortality Scripture if they asked in advance.


    However, they had to wait for three months before they could attend the lecture hall.


    ¡°Hello.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was intently reading, a clear voice reached his ears.


    He turned his head to see a pair of eyes on a maiden whose glance bewitched him. She was smiling beautifully, her hands clutching a bag that sat on her white thigh, turning towards him to introduce herself.


    ¡°My name is Wanyu. I¡¯m going to Crimson City for school.¡±


    ¡°Chen Mobai, I¡¯m also going to school.¡±


    As she was the first to initiate conversation, Chen Mobai naturally wouldn¡¯t snub her, so he smiled and put down the book in his hand.


    ¡°Are you from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute?¡±


    Wanyu stretched out her slender finger, pointing to the antique book that Chen Mobai had placed on the table. The words ¡°Immortality Scripture¡± were very conspicuous.


    ¡°No, this is something I stumbled upon in a thrift market. Some of the viewpoints inside are interesting, so I¡¯m reading it while taking this trip.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew about the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute, an university spun-off from the Imperial Medical Academy. Under the patronage of the Immortal Cultivation, it focused on researching the lifespan of cultivators with the aim to break the lifespan limits of each realm.


    This institution had already researched many herbs and elixirs that could prolong the lifespan of cultivators in various realms. It was a shame they were not widespread due to the scarce resources of the cultivation world.


    ¡°Then which university are you attending? All the universities in Crimson City are in the same district. I¡¯m from the Starlight Institute, so we might bump into each other often.¡±


    As Wanyu spoke, Chen Mobai perked up immediately.


    Finally, she asked.


    ¡°Wanyu, what a coincidence, you are also on this train.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to mention Dance Tool Dao Academy, a handsome young man with luggage entered the compartment.


    As soon as he stepped in, his gaze was fixed on Wanyu; he also glared at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Gu Mingxuan?¡±


    Upon seeing the young man, Wanyu appeared surprised, seemingly not expecting to share the same compartment with him.


    Chen Mobai shrugged helplessly, suppressing his desire to show off in front of the young girl. He picked up the Immortality Scripture that lay on the table and continued reading.


    Gu Mingxuan approached their table, scrutinising Chen Mobai from head to toe. Having taken the Fire Clearing Pill, his spiritual sense was acute even at the Qi Cultivation level and was very sensitive to the young man¡¯s gaze.


    But Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say anything. He merely frowned, picked up the old book in his hand, and casually used it to block the young man¡¯s view.


    It was then that Gu Mingxuan sat down. He took the seat directly opposite Wanyu, and after putting away his luggage, he started chatting with her naturally.


    Chen Mobai listened to their conversation for a while and realised that they were classmates from the same high school in Yu Wood City.


    Like him, they were also going to report to the university.


    However, according to Chen Mobai¡¯s guess, Gu Mingxuan was unlikely to be on the same train as Wanyu by coincidence; it must have been planned.


    He had seen such tactics on TV many times before.


    ¡°Move, you¡¯re in my seat.¡±


    Just as Gu Mingxuan was enjoying himself, a cold voice rang out.


    A young man with a buzz cut, wearing a tank top and trousers, and a tattoo on one arm, stood beside him.


    ¡°Got it.¡±


    Despite the rude tone of the tattooed youngster, Gu Mingxuan had his brows knitted together but decided to show his temperament in front of Wanyu and yielded his seat, moving to sit opposite Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This is also my seat.¡±


    Just as Gu Mingxuan sat down, the tattooed youngster waved two tickets at him.


    ¡°Brother, you¡¯re being wasteful by squatting on two seats, why don¡¯t you give one to me?¡±


    Gu Mingxuan¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the two tickets in the tattooed youngster¡¯s hand, and he started asking politely.


    ¡°The reason I bought two tickets is to sit comfortably, move.¡±


    The tattooed teenager didn¡¯t mince his words, and Gu Mingxuan¡¯s face turned from white to green.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you in this carriage?¡±


    Shi Wanyu asked curiously, Gu Mingxuan immediately took out his ticket. Indeed, it was for this train, but not for this carriage.


    The bright-eyed girl showed a momentary fluctuation in her eyes, displaying a sudden realization.


    She probably knew now.


    With a reluctant expression, Gu Mingxuan had no choice but to leave with his luggage.


    After the tattooed teenager sat down, he couldn¡¯t help but light up at the sight of the vibrant, curvaceously alluring girl across from him.


    ¡°Hello, my name is Wen Xiong¡­¡±


    ¡°Wanyu, I asked the attendant, there are two vacant spots in the sleeper cabin, and I upgraded my ticket, do you want to come along? There¡¯s also more space there, it will be more convenient for your luggage.¡±


    Before Wen Xiong could finish his words, Gu Mingxuan ran over excitedly with the ticket and approached their table again.


    ¡°We¡¯re heading to Crimson City Immortal Realm, it¡¯s just a day¡¯s journey, closing your eyes to rest will get us there, there¡¯s no need to waste Good Deed Points.¡±


    However, Shi Wanyu frowned delicately and shook her head in refusal.


    Gu Mingxuan looked disappointed, but under the pretext that he knew someone, he sat on his luggage and thick-skinnedly didn¡¯t leave.


    ¡°Beauty, are you also going to Crimson City Immortal Realm? I¡¯m a freshman at Pure Yang Academy, can we exchange contact information?¡±


    At this point, Wen Xiong spoke again.


    His gaze was enflamed, not hiding his admiration for Shi Wanyu at all.


    ¡°Pure Yang Academy!¡±


    Indeed, upon hearing him announce his school¡¯s name, both Gu Mingxuan and Shi Wanyu looked astonished.


    Not just them, everyone in the carriage who heard his words looked over in surprise, with some even standing up to get a good look at the figure from Pure Yang Academy.


    ¡°Worthy of being a Pure Yang scholar, such distinct style!¡±


    ¡°Only those with a unique personality can go further on the path of cultivation, this youngster is clearly one of the elites.¡±


    ¡°Kid, you should learn from this older brother, strive to be admitted to the Pure Yang Academy in the future.¡±


    The surrounding admiring comments and respectful gazes made Wen Xiong the focal point of the carriage.


    However, Wen Xiong didn¡¯t pay any mind to it, having grown up in such an environment.


    He is a prodigy.


    Isn¡¯t it normal for a prodigy to enter Pure Yang Academy?


    The only pity being that his small hometown lacked competitive rivals, even after defeating all opponents, he still did not catch the eye of any of the Four Great Daoist Academies, and had to opt for Pure Yang Academy, one of the top ranked among the Ten Great Academies.


    ¡°Maybe next time.¡±


    Again, Shi Wanyu shook her head denying Wen Xiong¡¯s request for contact information.


    This incited Chen Mobai to put down his book in surprise, looking at her with newfound respect.


    Gu Mingxuan, who had been looking down, seemed to have been shot with a dose of adrenaline, his face beaming with delight.


    ¡°Tsk.¡±


    Upon hearing Shi Wanyu¡¯s refusal, Wen Xiong clucked his tongue.


    But as a face-conscious individual, he did not persist and sat back in his space, his gaze filled with heat as he overtly ogled at Shi Wanyu¡¯s attractive face and curvaceous body.


    His unabashed staring caused Gu Mingxuan, who was sitting to the side, to furrow his eyebrows.


    ¡°Brother, can I exchange my ticket with you? I have a berth seat.¡±


    Gu Mingxuan didn¡¯t want to quarrel with Wen Xiong, and also didn¡¯t want to leave Shi Wanyu alone here. Seeing Chen Mobai reading by the window, he had a bright idea, he pulled out his ticket.


    ¡°No thank you, my mom told me not to take advantage of others.¡±


    Chen Mobai replied with a smile, causing Gu Mingxuan to almost choke on his words.


    This kid is definitely also lusting after Wanyu¡¯s beauty, that¡¯s why he doesn¡¯t want to leave.


    With that thought, Gu Mingxuan looked warily at both Chen Mobai and Wen Xiong.


    ¡°¡®The Classic of Longevity¡¯! Are you from Life-Extension Cultivation Institute?¡±


    Only now did Wen Xiong notice Chen Mobai. In surprise, he glanced at the ancient book in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand and asked.


    Crimson City Immortal Realm, as a place where one of the Four Great Daoist Academies, Dance Tool Dao Academy, was located with a Rank-5 Spirit Vein, naturally attracted many universities.


    In addition to the leading Dance Tool Dao Academy and the runner-up Pure Yang Academy, there were twelve other Institutes.


    The Starlight Institute and Life-Extension Cultivation Institute were among them.


    Finally, it¡¯s my turn.

    Hearing Wen Xiong address him, Chen Mobai suppressed his excitement, put down the book, and casually announced his school¡¯s name.


    ¡°No, I¡¯m from Dance Tool Dao Academy!¡±


    Immediately, silence descended upon the entire carriage.


    Shi Wanyu¡¯s mouth fell open in shock.


    Staring at Chen Mobai¡¯s handsome face by the window, bathed in the soft sunlight, the young man seemed to be glowing!

    Wen Xiong was having a hard time accepting it.


    Why did those admitted to the Dance Tool Dao Academy seem so ordinary?


    Yet at this time, after Chen Mobai announced the name of his academy, the attention of everyone had already shifted from him towards this handsome young man.


    That was the Dance Tool Dao Academy!


    Those who could get in were the geniuses among geniuses, essentially future Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.


    ¡°Little brother, could you give my child an autograph?¡±


    A young man holding a little girl walked over, full of admiration. Chen Mobai, who had never experienced such a scene, reached into his pocket only to realize he hadn¡¯t brought a pen.


    ¡°Use this.¡±


    Shi Wanyu instantly opened her bag and took out a lipstick pen.


    Chen Mobai hesitated. He had brought a green bamboo pen for drawing talismans in his bag.


    But faced with the expectant eyes of the bright young girl, he was too embarrassed to refuse.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    When he took the lipstick pen, Chen Mobai nodded to Shi Wanyu. Her face blushed slightly as if she was somewhat excited.


    It was a senior student from the Dance Tool Dao Academy!


    Chen Mobai signed his name on a handkerchief hanging around the little girl¡¯s neck, then other people in the carriage began to bring all kinds of objects for autographs.


    In the end, the whole lipstick pen was used up, and people from next door¡¯s carriage also heard the commotion and came over in a wave.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, after getting off the train, I¡¯ll buy you a new one.¡±


    Chen Mobai, with an apologetic look, gave back the lipstick pen, which had been used up, to Shi Wanyu. She immediately shook her head, indicating it was unnecessary.


    Then, with a slightly red and lovely face, she took out her mobile phone and asked shyly,


    ¡°Could I add you to my contacts?¡±


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    Wen Xiong¡¯s ears turned red with anger. Shi Wanyu¡¯s differential treatment made him unable to bear it any longer and he said,


    ¡°Who knows if it¡¯s real or fake?¡±


    At this time, Gu Mingxuan also couldn¡¯t bear the sourness in his heart and nodded in agreement.


    Hearing them say this, the passengers in the next carriage, who had planned to ask Chen Mobai for his autograph, also hesitated.


    After all, students from the Four Great Daoist Academies were indeed rare.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Just then, the commotion in the carriage attracted the attention of the train attendants. Two men and a woman in blue uniforms came over.


    After understanding the situation, one of the higher-ranking men saluted Chen Mobai and said something very politely,


    ¡°Sir, as a student of one of the four great Daoist academies, you are entitled to travel in first class on any public transportation in the immortal world.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is that so?¡±


    Chen Mobai had no idea about this.


    ¡°May I see your student ID please?¡±


    ¡°I just enrolled this year and haven¡¯t issued a student ID yet.¡±


    Upon hearing this, some people looked skeptical, but the train manager had seen several students from the Four Great Daoist Academies and knew there was more to it.


    ¡°Could I see your admission letter?¡±


    Chen Mobai opened his mobile phone and flipped out a screenshot of the electronic version of the admission letter from his album.


    After the manager scanned the student ID number on it, his attitude became more respectful.


    ¡°You are in the normal carriage, which could cause a gathering. It would be better if you come with me to first class.¡±


    Chen Mobai was reluctant within. After all, by sheer luck, he was seated next to a beautiful young girl.


    But seeing the crowd from the nearby carriages squeezing in the aisle trying to get in, he thought it better to leave.


    ¡°In that case, thank you.¡±


    After thanking the train manager, Chen Mobai picked up the ancient book from the table, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and got up to leave.


    ¡°Oh, I almost forgot.¡±


    As he was leaving, Chen Mobai took out his mobile phone and added Shi Wanyu to his contacts.


    ¡°See you if fate allows.¡±


    Hearing this, watching the handsome young man leave nonchalantly, Shi Wanyu suppressed a throb in her heart.


    Was this a genius from the Dance Tool Dao Academy?


    Gu Mingxuan and Wen Xiong looked at each other, the former sagged, the latter slightly unconvinced.


    After arriving in the first class compartment, Chen Mobai was surprisingly the only one there.


    ¡°This area is usually reserved for Foundation Establishment True Cultivators and students of the Four Great Daoist Academies.¡±


    The train manager explained, then pointed to the young, attractive female attendant, indicating she was in charge of the first-class carriage and could be approached if needed.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    After expressing his thanks again, Chen Mobai finally had some peace.


    He began to seriously read the Longevity Scripture.


    As Qi Cultivation was the only section covered, it wasn¡¯t very lengthy, but Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but doubt his comprehension due to the cryptic ancient text.


    After all, he was considered a genius who had passed the examination to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, so why couldn¡¯t he understand this ancient text?


    Chen Mobai took out his mobile phone and began to look up the meanings word by word.


    He didn¡¯t finish until it started to get dark and the outer attendant had already brought dinner. He had completed the annotation and translation of the whole text.


    Even so, Chen Mobai felt that he might still have some misunderstanding.


    When night fell and the attendant turned off all the lights in the train, Chen Mobai went to the restroom, where he used the Turtle Treasure to teleport to the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Elder Brother Yuan, I have some questions about the Longevity Scripture.¡±


    ¡°My charges are not cheap.¡±


    Yuan Chiye clarified in advance.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t afford the charge of ten Spirit Stones, but he just wanted to consult the meaning of a few sentences, and verify whether he had misunderstood the translation.


    He gave Yuan Chiye two Spirit Stones, who reluctantly agreed to proofread it for Chen Mobai for twenty minutes.


    As a result, Chen Mobai¡¯s translation was generally correct, only some minor interpretations differed from Yuan Chiye¡¯s.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that, as there are a thousand hamlets in a thousand people¡¯s eyes. In the words of Ancestor Zhou, if everyone practices the same cultivation technique in exactly the same way without exception, the Divine Wood Sect would not be far from extinction.¡±


    Regarding this minor difference, Yuan Chiye thought it was only natural, and Chen Mobai could only temporarily accept it.


    But for actual cultivation practices, he would wait until he reached the Crimson City Cave Heaven, and consult the professors in the academy.


    As Chen Mobai was leaving, he suddenly remembered something.


    He asked Yuan Chiye a probing question.


    If life were really too hard to bear, would he consider selling the Foundation Building Pill?


    Yuan Chiye¡¯s attitude was resolute.


    Even if he died, he would swallow the Foundation Building Pill before he did.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Divine Wood Sect could only harvest Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms once a decade. If Yuan Chiye gave up the Foundation Pill now, he would have to wait another decade.


    And ten years later, whether the sect would allow him to exchange for another Foundation Pill was uncertain.


    Even for geniuses like E Yun who had failed in their first tried Foundation Establishment, their value would diminish greatly in the eyes of the higher-ups.


    Therefore, even though there were cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect who succeeded in Foundation Establishment after taking the pill twice, all True Disciples knew that they could only win the favor of the sect and get more resource allocation by succeeding in one go.


    ¡°Only True Disciples who succeed in Foundation Establishment in one go can enter the Three Divine Trees and get the true inheritance of our sect..¡±

 Chapter 169 - Chapter 169: Is There a Possibility !

    Chapter 169: Is There a Possibility !


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Could it be the Primordial Dao Fruit!¡±


    Upon hearing Yuan Chiye¡¯s words, the first thing that flashed across Chen Mobai¡¯s mind was this most potent Divine Skill from the Eastern Wilderness he had once heard of, and he couldn¡¯t help but blurt it out.


    ¡°Oh, you actually know about the Primordial Dao Fruit? However, the cultivation method for this Divine Skill is held by the Five Elements Sect¡¯s Earth Vein. We from the Divine Wood Sect don¡¯t have it.¡±


    Yuan Chiye shook his head.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but ask him what the real heritage of the Divine Wood Sect was?


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that, but each time a genius disciple successfully establishes their foundation, they can go to the forbidden land where the Three Divine Trees reside. The better one¡¯s Spiritual Root Talent, the more benefits they can gain.¡±


    ¡°The foremost True Disciple of the previous generation received a Tree Fruit and the method to use it. He advanced directly from the early Foundation Establishment stage to the middle stage, saving twenty years of hard cultivation.¡±


    ¡°The Flying Sword of Elder Mo from Golden Cliff was also snapped from a branch of the Three Divine Trees. It is said that it could aggressively progress. Its success in Core Formation was due to the superior Sword Training method it received along with the branch.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai, who had initially been indifferent, now had his eyes gleaming.


    Whether it was the tree fruit that directly broke through realms or the tree branch valued by Golden Core Cultivators, to him, they were all exotic treasures.


    His demands were not high. He didn¡¯t need cultivation techniques; he just wanted the Realm-Breaking Tree Fruit.


    However, based on Yuan Chiye¡¯s description, it seemed that the Three Divine Trees awarded people according to their Spiritual Roots. The better the Spiritual Root, the better the Spiritual Objects given. He, who merely possessed an ordinary True Spiritual Root, wondered if he could fool it.


    But Chen Mobai felt that the Three Divine Trees, being spiritual wood left behind by Ascended Monks, shouldn¡¯t be as crude as the Spirit Root Testing Platform.


    If only he had a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    While lamenting, something suddenly came to Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    He seemed to still have a ¡°Wood Spiritual Talisman¡± in his bag.


    Could there be a possibility¡­


    After this idea flashed across his mind, Chen Mobai became restless.


    He promptly bid Yuan Chiye farewell.


    After returning to his room and declaring closed-door cultivation again, he returned to the train.


    Over the past year or so, he had fully explored the functions of the Turtle Treasure.


    The [Teleport] function could only transport him to where he last left the Tianhe Realm.


    Whereas [Return] recognized the location of the Turtle Shell.


    Meaning, no matter where he was in the Tianhe Realm, as long as he activated Return and wasn¡¯t disturbed within eight seconds, he would appear next to the Turtle Treasure on Earth Element Star.


    [Delegate] recognized his cultivation progress to activate.


    It wouldn¡¯t accept any progress after his cultivation level had regressed.


    For example, after Chen Mobai had switched to cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll and his realm improved, the Turtle Treasure still recognised him at the Qi Cultivation seventh tier, and ignored any realm breakthroughs below this tier.


    After the silver light flickered, Chen Mobai, seeing the familiar restroom, picked up the backpack placed on the washstand and walked out.


    The first-class cabin was still empty.


    He sat down on the sofa, put down the book of the Immortality in his hand, and started to think about Foundation Establishment.


    Originally, Chen Mobai planned to try Foundation Establishment after reaching the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, even if he failed, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem.


    The common view among immortals regarding Foundation Establishment is that the first attempt is exploratory, setting the groundwork for success during the second attempt.


    The Imperial Medical Academy had done a survey.


    Excluding the samples of Heavenly Spiritual Root and Different Spiritual Root, they collected samples of successful common Spiritual Root users.


    It was found that over 65% of cultivators succeeded in Foundation Establishment after failing once, only 20% succeeded on their first attempt, and the remaining 14.5% succeeded after three attempts.


    Lastly, there were some extremely rare lucky ones who succeeded on their fourth attempt, accounting for 0.5%.


    The reasons for this, besides the differences in ideas between the two realms, was mainly because immortals here didn¡¯t concoct Foundation Building Pills.


    Moreover, immortals here have more experience and insights regarding Foundation Establishment and a complete guiding system. This gave ordinary spiritual root cultivators more hope for successful Foundation Establishment.


    However, all the above statistics are based on conditions before the age limit of sixty.


    Success in Foundation Establishment after sixty is extremely rare, as one in tens of thousands.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s father certainly only has one opportunity for Foundation Establishment.


    Therefore, he has asked Yuan Chiye if he has any intention of selling a Foundation Building Pill, to see if he can get one for his father.


    However, Chen Mobai is very clear-headed, knowing that obtaining a Foundation Building Pill within this year can only rely on luck, and definitely should not resort to unconventional methods to demand it.


    If heaven indeed doesn¡¯t offer him this kind of luck, then nothing can be done.


    But he certainly needs to try.


    And now, he has another motivation.


    That is to succeed in Foundation Establishment at once.


    Or perhaps, secretly attempt Foundation Establishment from the Immortal Gate¡¯s end. Even if he fails, as long as he promptly recovers his cultivation level and essence, the Divine Wood Sect probably won¡¯t notice his failure, right?


    Shaking his head, after throwing out this unrealistic thought from his mind, Chen Mobai began to think about how to rapidly improve his cultivation level.


    He has practically finished understanding the Longevity Sutra, so what remains is to take care of the Great Divine Wood Sect Technique and Pure Yang Scroll after entering university.


    Looking at the completely darkened sky outside, Chen Mobai had no desire to sleep.


    He thought about how he only has a measly Qi Cultivation seventh level, and without the assistance of the real man in the red robe, the progress of the transfer to the Pure Yang Scroll has slowed down, which made him sigh.


    He is keen to hasten with taking Qi-replenishing Spirit Water to enhance himself, but the train only provides the most basic Rank-1 spiritual energy for cultivators to breathe, making it impossible to cultivate.


    No wonder most True Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage don¡¯t take the train.


    Chen Mobai looked at the Two-Phase Technique again and found this cultivation technique even more difficult to comprehend. Without Fu Laozu¡¯s personal experience and annotations on the side, he probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to understand it.


    No wonder the Divine Wood Sect does not allow disciples outside the True Disciple to practice it.


    After struggling to read it once, Chen Mobai sighed and put down the Two-Phase Technique.


    Looking at the time, he realized that there were still six hours until Crimson City Cave.


    Such a long time.


    If only there was a beautiful miss on the side to admire.


    Unintentionally, Chen Mobai thought of Master Wanyu.


    However, he certainly cannot go to the ordinary carriage now, as the crowd is too enthusiastic about him as a student from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Right, there¡¯s still something I haven¡¯t opened yet.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who had planned to find something to do for himself, suddenly remembered the storage bag he picked up from Green Light Island.


    From Yuan Chiye¡¯s words, he knew that as long as his Divine Sense is stronger than the previous owner¡¯s, he can refine and open it.


    He hoped that the former owner¡¯s Divine Sense wasn¡¯t as strong as his.


    Chen Mobai thought so, opened his school bag, and took out the palm-sized brocade bag that was pressed on the turtle shell.


    He held up the storage bag and placed it on his forehead.


    Since he hadn¡¯t reached the Foundation Establishment stage, his Divine Sense couldn¡¯t leave his body, so he had to try to crack it this way.


    Like opening a treasure chest, Chen Mobai was very excited.


    About an hour later, Chen Mobai, panting heavily, helplessly put down the storage bag in his hand.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The luck wasn¡¯t good. The divine sense of this storage bag¡¯s previous owner is stronger than his, probably a Qi Cultivation ninth level.


    It seems that he can only wait to attempt to crack it again after he has consumed all the Fire Clearing Pills in his hand.


    Just in time, seven days had passed since the last time he took a Fire Clearing Pill, so he could take the second one now.


    This pill is specifically to enhance Divine Sense, with no requirements for Spiritual Energy. Even in the train environment, it can still be taken as usual.


    After notifying the attendant outside, Chen Mobai went to the first-class cabin lounge, sat on the bed, and began to enhance himself..

 Chapter 170 - Chapter 170: Acquaintance^

    Chapter 170: Acquaintance^


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Take care.¡±


    At the exit of the carriage, a young and beautiful stewardess bent over to bid farewell to the only passenger.


    Chen Mobai thanked her and, carrying his backpack, he followed the special passage she pointed out.


    After a long corridor, he arrived at a luxuriously decorated lounge. The lounge was situated right at the center of the station, surrounded on all sides by translucent glass. Chen Mobai glanced around and found that he cou see the outside through the glass, but people outside seemed unable to see inside.


    ¡°Hello, are you a student at Dance Tool Dao Academy?


    A female staff member dressed in a blue uniform approached him; her tone was soft, her face bearing a gentle smile.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Please rest here for a while. Your school¡¯s shuttle will arrive in twenty minutes. Would you like something to drink?¡±


    Chen requested a glass of water, then settled himself on a small couch. He looked around and saw that there were, including him, six people in the lounge: three adults and two youngsters, a boy and a girl, around his age.


    The boy had a youthful face, deeply engrossed in a Rubik¡¯s cube he held in his hands.


    The girl was sitting sideways to him, her face half-covered by a face mask as she focused on her phone.


    After observing them for a moment, Chen was about to take out the Two-Phase Gong to meditate when he suddenly saw something, causing him to take another glance at the girl.


    She seemed familiar to him, maybe because her attire was too similar to Qing


    Nu¡¯S.


    ¡°Those two are also students from your school.¡±


    The staff member set down a glass of water on the table in front of him, and


    she said quietly.


    Chen Mobai nodded briefly.


    The immortal Sects had thirty-six heavens and seventy-two blessed lands, an innumerable number of geniuses.


    Since he was able to gain admission to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, naturally, there would be others who were as brilliant, or even more stunning than him, who were also admitted.


    He wondered what their background was?


    Chen Mobai was not a sociable person thus he did not take the initiative to introduce himself.


    The other two seemed to be the same; all three of them sat quietly in their own


    seats.


    Conversely, the three older cultivators sat together, laughing and chatting, apparently people of some status in their sects. They seemed to be aware of them being students of Dance Tool Dao Academy, their gaze occasionally resting on them.


    ¡°Sir, the shuttle is here. Do you need help with your luggage?


    Chen Mobai only carried a backpack; he shook his head ¨C he could handle it himself.


    The staff member similarly asked the others, all of whom also declined.


    ¡°Please.¡±


    The door to the lounge opened, and Chen Mobai who was sitting closest walked out first, only to find many passengers gathered on either side of the door. Seemingly aware that there were new students from the Dance Tool Dao Academy inside, they constantly took snapshots with their phones.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai was perplexed. Even though the Dance Tool Dao Academy was famous, people from Crimson City came across them daily, so why such a frenzy?


    He took out a cap from his backpack and put it on, hiding his face. His sister, Wang Xinying, had gifted him with this cap when he left Red Sandstone City; now it came in handy.


    A shuttle with only two rows of seats stopped at the doorway. The driver came out and motioned for Chen Mobai to sit in the back row.


    The young boy exited shortly after, taking up the shotgun seat.


    The girl came out last. Now, Chen Mobai could finally see her in full: a tight yellow dress beautifully outlined her slender waist and long legs.


    The hem of the dress ended just above her knees, revealing a section of her perfectly white and delicate thighs, as well as her straight and beautiful calves Adding to this was her white pointed heels, revealing the most beautiful pair 0 legs Chen Mobai had ever seen.


    With only one seat left, she had no option but to sit beside Chen Mobai. In addition to her previous features, she now wore a pair of sunglasses, disguising almost all of her face with her face mask.


    ¡°Odd person.¡±


    That was Chen Mobai¡¯s silent judgement of her. He let down his backpack from his shoulder and placed it beside his feet.


    ¡°Please make sure you haven¡¯t left anything behind, we¡¯re about to depart.¡± After the shuttle bus driver said this, he sat down in his seat and started driving towards the exit.


    Many people lingering outside the lounge became suddenly excited on sighting the girl by Chen Mobai¡¯s side.


    ¡°That must be Meng Huang!¡±


    ¡°Only she would conceal her identity.¡±


    ¡°Quick, quick¡­¡±


    In the frenzy of shutter clicks, Chen Mobai noticed many covert paparazzi hiding in the crowd, taking shots of them continuously.


    Wait a minute, they were saying¡­ Meng Huang!


    Chen Mobai swiftly turned his head to look at the slender girl next to him, decked out in a mask and sunglasses. It was no wonder he felt a strange sense of familiarity the moment he saw her.


    It was actually her!


    One of the two main stars of the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe, hailed as the musical genius most likely to master the ¡°Shocking God Sonata.¡± Back in Red Sandstone City, he and Qing Nu had once gone together to watch her perform.


    Back then, he and Qing Nu each had specific goals: he was there for Meng Huang while Qing Nu was there for Jiang Yuyuan.


    For this reason, he had a deep impression of Meng Huang. After all, this was his first close encounter with a mega-celebrity. He almost forgot that she was also a student at the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Her teacher, Bian Yiqing, was the person who enabled Chen Mobai to enroll in the school.


    Seeing the press surrounding her from all sides, Meng Huang sighed, shrinking further into her seat, hoping to vanish under the glare of the camera flashes.


    ¡°Master, we should leave quickly.¡± Chen Mobai called out to the stunned driver. He quickly took off his own hat and placed it on Meng Huang¡¯s head, helping her block all the flashes.


    ¡°Oh, sure!¡±


    Immediately, a station staff member came over and unleashed a Magic Artifact to create a path for their shuttle.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai unexpectedly heard a soft whisper of gratitude. He almost thought he had misheard.


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome. I owe a favor to teacher Bian. If I come across a situation like yours, rd definitely help.¡±


    Meng Huang lifted her head and stole a glance at Chen Mobai. Her clear eyes sparkled behind the sunglasses, then she nodded her head again to express her thanks.


    ¡°To think we¡¯d be at the same station as Meng Huang.¡±


    At another end, Gu Mingxuan and Shi Wanyu, carrying their luggage, had just cleared security and entered the main hall. Upon hearing the hubbub around them and learning what had transpired, Gu Mingxuan couldn¡¯t resist showing his disappointment.


    This was the goddess of his dreams. If he¡¯d known, he would have left his baggage behind for a chance to glimpse her true face.


    ¡°Hey!¡±


    At that moment, Wen Xiong sauntered over, acting all cool in front of Shi Wanyu and left her a remark.


    ¡°I¡¯ll prove that your choice was wrong. I¡¯m stronger than that guy.¡± Having said that, he walked off immediately.


    Leaving Shi Wanyu gaping, completely clueless as to what he was talking about.


    -I¡¯ve got a front view shot of Meng Huang, who wants it? Selling with negatives for 2000 Good Deed Points, a one-off deal!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At that moment, a paparazzo inside the station was naming his price for Meng Huang¡¯s photos, which were quickly snapped up by a mysterious buyer.


    ¡°Who still uses film these days.¡±


    GU Mingxuan clicked his tongue and then pulled out his phone to check the Meng Huang fan community.


    Sure enough, plenty of pictures from today had been uploaded.


    Then he opened his eyes wide in surprise..

 Chapter 171 - Chapter 171: Crimson Mountain_l

    Chapter 171: Crimson Mountain_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Gu Mingxuan clearly saw a series of photos featuring a handsome, young teenage boy and Meng Huang sitting together, talking intimately. Particularly catching was the shot where the boy tenderly put a sun hat on the latter. His face radiated affection while the young girl looked astonished ¡ª the shot was brilliantly vivid and expressive.


    ¡°Why is he everywhere?¡±


    Gu Mingxuan recognized Chen Mobai at once.


    Out of the corner of her eye, Wanyu, who was standing to the side, glanced at the series of photos. Her expression subtly stiffened, but she began to explain for Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Meng Huang is also from Dance Tool Dao Academy. As it seems she was specially admitted last year. In fact, she¡¯s technically Chen Mobai¡¯s senior. It¡¯s only reasonable that being from the same college, they went to Crimson Mountain together.¡±


    Even as Wanyu spoke, there was a flash of regret in her beautiful eyes.


    Truly, only a favored daughter of heaven would be compatible with a favored son like Chen Mobai.


    Meanwhile, on the other side.


    Chen Mobai and Meng Huang had already boarded the bus provided by the academy for student transportation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get to know each other, I¡¯m Ma Xiaoming.¡±


    Another Dance Tool Dao Academy student on the bus with them suddenly paused his Rubik¡¯s Cube, turned his head towards Chen Mobai, and reached out his hand.


    ¡°Chen Mobai.¡±


    ¡°I come from Huayang Dongtian, and you?¡±


    ¡°Red Sandstone City.¡±


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re from a blessed land. You must be one of the lucky ones who got in during the expanded recruitment this year. Too bad, I thought you were an elite.¡±


    To everyone¡¯s surprise, upon hearing just a few words from Chen Mobai, Ma Xiaoming lost interest.


    After knowing Chen Mobai was from a Blessed Land, he turned his head back and continued to play with the Rubik¡¯s Cube in his hand.


    Chen Mobai was somewhat bewildered.


    Was regional discrimination so severe among the inhabitants of the 36 Dongtian?


    ¡°Those students who got into the academy through their genuine abilities generally look down on us, who are assumed to have got in through backdoor channels.¡±


    A pleasant voice sounded off in his ear as a sun hat was handed over by a fair hand.


    ¡°But I also officially passed the examination.¡±


    Chen Mobai accepted the hat handed over by Meng Huang and put it in his bag, stating so with a bit of dissatisfaction.


    ¡°Due to the pressure from the Immortal Sects, the four Great Dao Academies expanded their recruitment quota this year. All the freshmen admitted from the 72 Blessed Lands are generally regarded as the same as me ¡ª considered to have got in through special means.¡±


    The words of Meng Huang confused Chen Mobai somewhat.


    ¡°So, you, a great star in Dance Tool Dao Academy, are also discriminated against?¡±


    ¡°Just to clarify, it¡¯s not discrimination. We just feel that you are entering the academy too easily, which seems enormously unfair to us who have studied hard for ten years only to scrape by.¡±


    Ma Xiaoming¡¯s words came from the front seat.


    ¡°He¡¯s a second-year student from Dance Tool Dao Academy and a talent who stood out from Huayang Dongtian ¡ª the region with the largest number of students and the fiercest competition.¡±


    Meng Huang softly turned her head towards Chen Mobai¡¯s ear and quietly introduced Ma Xiaoming¡¯s background.


    ¡°Huayang Dongtian? Isn¡¯t that under the domain of Kunpeng Daoist Institute? If he is so talented, why didn¡¯t he go there? It¡¯s even close to his home.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai asked, slightly scratching his head in confusion.


    Crack.


    Ma Xiaoming suddenly trembled, crushing the Rubik¡¯s Cube in his hand.


    ¡°Hee hee.¡±


    Meng Huang laughed happily but quickly put her hand over her mouth, trying to repress her mirth though failing to completely hide the smile at the comers of her mouth.


    ¡°Hmph, I lost to a competitor who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of 18. So, I could only come to Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    The words coming from Ma Xiaoming made Chen Mobai gasp for breath.


    ¡°Foundation Establishment at the age of 18? Where is this monster from?¡± ¡°Approximately every few years, a monster like this appears. Among the freshmen admitted to the academy this year, there seems to be such a monster.¡±


    Meng Huang bit her lip and softly spoke to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Are there many?¡±


    ¡°Well, I guess not.¡±


    Meng Huang was uncertain, hesitating as she shook her head.


    ¡°No, there seems to be quite many of these anomalies this year, so many that each academy can have one.¡±


    The ahead Ma Xiaoming turned his head and gazed at Chen Mobai with a sympathetic look.


    ¡°The quality of the freshmen in Dance Tool Dao Academy this year is really polarized. You might become a counter example, compared with the genius who established his foundation at eighteen and remembered by the whole school.¡±


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be, aren¡¯t there any other freshmen recruited by the seventy-two blessed lands?¡±


    Chen Mobai felt Ma Xiaoming was targeting him. Could it be because of Meng Huang¡¯s affection towards him?


    But it shouldn¡¯t be, since he got on the car, Ma Xiaoming had barely looked at Meng Huang, even to the point of mocking her being enrolled based on special consideration.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that, I just checked the information on this year¡¯s freshmen. Your score is the lowest, so low that you should not have been admitted.¡±


    Ma Xiaoming pulled out his mobile phone and looked at Chen Mobai with some confusion. He fails to understand what¡¯s so special about him that the academy would lower the overall admission score.


    ¡°I was lucky. The entrance exam happened to be what I¡¯m good at.¡±


    Regarding his low score, Chen Mobai admitted.


    After all, there was indeed a gap between him and the real geniuses, so he handled it humbly.


    ¡°I hope I won¡¯t see you next year.¡±


    At this moment, the car already arrived at the main entrance of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    After Chen Mobai got out of the car, he looked up to see the golden sign of the academy.


    They were at the foot of the mountain where a long stairway reaching the top connected the upper and lower parts. The middle was filled with enumerable mountain fog, and each stone platform projected out vaguely, with buildings standing on them.


    Ma Xiaoming had already gone up the mountain, disappearing into the fog.


    ¡°Go, the dormitory for freshmen is at the foot of the mountain. You can see it after walking up just a few dozens of stairs.¡±


    Meng Huang waved at Chen Mobai, picked up her luggage, and headed in another direction.


    ¡°Hey, aren¡¯t you going to the academy?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t get along well with my dormitory peers, so I rented a place outside.¡±


    Meng Huang said with a smile. She turned her back, leaving a delicate figure, slowly fading away.


    After watching her departure, Chen Mobai suddenly realized, patting his forehead.


    He forgot to ask for her contact info!


    Nevermind, they¡¯re in the same academy and she¡¯s so famous. There will definitely be opportunities to meet again.


    With that thought, Chen Mobai started to ascend Crimson Mountain.


    The moment his foot landed on the stair, he could feel a mild spiritual power gushing in. With each step, it got hotter.


    In his Dantian Qi Sea, the spiritual power vortex of Pure Yang Scroll suddenly began to rotate on its own, absorbing and refining this gentle spiritual power.


    After just ten steps, he even felt like he was about to break through.


    Is this the rank-5 spiritual land of Crimson Mountain!


    Before coming to Chen Mobai, he naturally looked up a lot of information about Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The rank-5 spirit vein of Crimson Mountain mainly contains gold, earth and fire attributes of spiritual energy. Therefore, students with outstanding spiritual root talent in water and wood attributes might not choose to come here even if they get into Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s Pure Yang Scroll found this place to be the best cultivation holy land.


    This stairway seemed to be a magic artifact itself. After sensing the pure yang spiritual power in his body, it filtered out the gold and earth spiritual energy, providing the purest fire spiritual energy for Chen Mobai to absorb.


    Just because of this rank-5 spiritual land, even if he has to stick around, he¡¯s going to stick around here for ten years!


    Chen Mobai made up his mind!

 Chapter 172 - Chapter 172: Just This Building_l

    Chapter 172: Just This Building_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Soon enough, Chen Mobai arrived at the first stone platform.


    Two people, a man and a woman who were in charge of welcoming new students, were sitting behind a long desk. Seeing Chen Mobai approaching, they immediately waved him over.


    Unlike Ma Xiaoming, they didn¡¯t discriminate against him and once they confirmed his admission certificate and identity, they assigned him a dormitory and issued his student card.


    ¡°Good, your information has now been entered into the school¡¯s system.¡±


    ¡°The Daoist Academy Library and classes all require your student card, but of course, you can also link your student card to your phone. Most places accept electronic student cards, with the only exception being the Dance Instruments Hall.¡±


    ¡°Only the physical student card can be used to enter there. Additionally, the library in the Daoist Academy provides free access to Cultivation Technique books for its students. But if you want to download, you need the corresponding permissions.¡±


    ¡°Generally speaking, those practicing Qi Cultivation can only download related materials.¡±


    The student taking care of enrolment gave an example, and Chen Mobai nodded in understanding.


    ¡°Alright, your advisor is¡­ Huh¡­ It¡¯s actually Zhenren Shaoyang¡­¡±


    The student entered Chen Mobai¡¯s information and checked the allocation from the Daoist Academy, she looked surprised.


    ¡°Did they make a mistake? This Zhenren has been in retreat for ten years.¡±


    After refreshing the page to confirm there was no mistake, she looked at Chen Mobai with sympathetic eyes.


    ¡°May I ask, is there a problem with this Zhenren Shaoyang?¡±


    ¡°Not really. It¡¯s just that he¡¯s been in retreat for a long time. If you¡¯re assigned under his name, you might not see him for a decade or so. But don¡¯t worry, students at the Daoist Academy are free to choose courses of their interest. As long as you can accumulate 10 credits by the end of the term, and don¡¯t fail any tests over three years, you won¡¯t be asked to leave the academy.¡±


    Chen Mobai took the opportunity to ask which courses were easier to get credits from, and how to spend the least amount of time to accumulate enough credits.


    ¡°I guess it depends on you, I can¡¯t say much.¡±


    The senior student, who tied her hair in a ponytail and wore round glasses, looked very elegant. She avoided discussing Chen Mobai¡¯s question further.


    ¡°Here, this is your student card.¡±


    At this moment, the male student on the side grabbed a rectangular badge from a small laser cutter on the desk. It had just finished being processed.


    Chen Mobai took it and discovered it was also a Magic Artifact.


    ¡°Keep it safe. For replacements, you need 100 Good Deed Points.¡±


    After thanking them, Chen Mobai continued onwards, quickly arriving at the new student dormitory building.


    He walked in and found his dorm on the third floor¡­ Room 303! After pushing the door open, Chen Mobai found he was the first to arrive.


    It was a four-person room.


    This won¡¯t work.


    On top of the stone platform where new students were received, the senior student brother and sister who had just sat down watched Chen Mobai come down again.


    ¡°Huh, did you put your things down so quickly?¡±


    ¡°Is there any single-room accommodation available at the school?¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head and then asked a question that made both of them exchanged glances.


    ¡°We do have some better conditioned double rooms, and if you want a single room, you¡¯ll have to go to faculty housing. But you definitely won¡¯t be able to stay there.¡±


    The senior student, who thought that Chen Mobai came from a wealthy family and wasn¡¯t used to dorms, told him upfront to break his illusion.


    ¡°This won¡¯t work!¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai shook his head again, then asked a question that both of them didn¡¯t know how to answer.


    ¡°Can new students rent a house off-campus?¡±


    ¡°Well, there¡¯s no rule against it, but the Grade of the Spirit Veins outside Crimson Mountain definitely can¡¯t compare to those inside the school. Are you sure you want to rent a house outside?¡±


    Chen Mobai had too many secrets to keep. Plus, he had just been admitted to the Divine Wood Sect in the Tianhe Realm, and he needed to travel frequently between the two realms. He definitely needed to live alone.


    However, the senior student sister made a point; if he can¡¯t enjoy the benefits of Crimson Mountain, a Rank-5 Spirit Vein, it would be counterproductive.


    ¡°There are cultivation rooms in the school, right?¡±


    But soon, Chen Mobai realized something.


    It wouldn¡¯t make sense that the Daoist Academy allows students to cultivate in their dorms. They definitely must have special places for cultivation.


    ¡°Of course, there are, from the lowest Rank-2 to highest Rank-4. They¡¯re provided free of charge to teachers and students according to their cultivation Realms.¡±


    ¡°What about Rank-5?¡±


    ¡°A Rank-5 could be used, but only with the application of a real-level professor and the approval of the Dean.¡±


    After saying that, student counselor realized she might be providing too much information. This was irrelevant to the new students; they didn¡¯t need to know this.


    ¡°If you really want to live off-campus, it would be best to let your adviser know.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t my adviser in retreat? I don¡¯t even have his contact information.¡±


    Chen Mobai shrugged, at a loss. The counselor and the senior student glanced at each other, agreeing.


    ¡°I¡¯ll leave first then.¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai, with his backpack, went down the mountain.


    He walked in the direction where Meng Huang disappeared for about ten minutes and indeed found a modern small town.


    After asking a few people, he quickly found a house agency.


    ¡°Young man, what are your requirements for rental housing?¡±


    ¡°A quieter place, preferably a detached house in a less populated area.¡±


    ¡°I see, you¡¯re looking for the villa district, but the rent might be a bit expensive.¡±


    The agent showed Chen Mobai a few houses, but he wasn¡¯t satisfied.


    ¡°Do you have any cave dwelling villas in the mountains here? There should be one every few hundred meters, but make sure it has electricity, water, and spiritual energy.¡±


    Chen Mobai further specified his demands.


    The agent looked embarrassed.


    ¡°We do have some, but most of them are already rented by masters who came to retreat in the Crimson Mountain range. The rest are in poor locations.¡±


    ¡°Take me to see.¡±


    Half an hour later, Chen Mobai was brought to a two-story wooden house located in a mountain ravine.


    ¡°It¡¯s by the hill and water, only the lighting isn¡¯t very good.¡±


    The agent led Chen Mobai into the house, looking a bit embarrassed. The house was quite dusty and had sparse furniture ¨C only wooden bed, table, and chairs, no appliances.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai looked up and from the second-floor balcony, he saw a luxurious wooden villa at the top of the mountain, taking up all the beautiful scenery and views.


    ¡°That¡¯s the dwelling place of the superstar, Meng Huang. She often comes out in the mornings to do her vocal exercises. If you live here, you will be woken up by her beautiful voice every day. That¡¯s the main advantage of this wooden house.¡±


    Facing this rundown wooden house, the agent couldn¡¯t think of any other selling points. After cleaning the dust with a Cleaning Technique, he could only point at the mountain-top villa and say this.


    Chen Mobai, upon hearing this, remembered the dream he had when he first heard Meng Huang sing and immediately decided.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take this one!¡±

 Chapter 173 - Chapter 173: Critical Law l

    Chapter 173: Critical Law l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have high demands for living conditions.


    He could live comfortably even in an environment like Green Light Island, let alone a small mountainside villa in the Immortal Sect, complete with water and electricity, internet, and abundant spiritual energy.


    However, after the estate agent left and he made a detailed inspection, he realized something.


    Didn¡¯t this log cabin seem like it was made by a talisman?


    He took several photos and sent them to the shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual Talisman Shop, who, after inspection, gave a confirmative answer.


    Indeed, it was.


    Chen Mobai could only sigh at the marvel of immortal cultivation civilization ¨C even in the construction industry, money couldn¡¯t be made.


    He checked the rental agreement once more to confirm that the land where the log cabin was located was legal, then he put his mind at ease.


    Since he had already cleaned it once using the Cleaning Technique, the interior of the log cabin was now spotless.


    After going out to buy some basic daily necessities, he returned to the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    The two seniors who were welcoming the newcomers were still on the stone platform, so Chen Mobai went over to greet them.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy had only admitted up to 49 students each year before, but this year the number was expanded due to pressure from the Immortal Sect. Still, the total number of students was relatively low, so the two seniors responsible for welcoming the newcomers were quite relaxed.


    After chatting with them for a while, Chen Mobai finally learned their names.


    The male senior was called Meng Mu.


    The female senior was named Qu Hongyu.


    Both were seventh graders, had reached perfection in the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation, and were planning to attempt Foundation Establishment within the year.


    ¡°By the way, seniors, have you used the Foundation Building Treasure?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of this software. He wanted to know if other factors could be added to increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Of course, we¡¯ve used it. If we follow the conditions we¡¯ve envisioned, there¡¯s basically a 55% chance of successfully establishing our foundations,¡± said Qu Hongyu.


    At Qu Hongyu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was taken aback.


    How could the success rate of Foundation Establishment be raised to over fifty percent without Foundation Building Pills, given the resources of the Immortal Sect? Could there be some unknown elixir even more potent than Foundation Building Pills within the four Daoist Academies?


    If you don¡¯t know, just ask.


    Chen Mobai immediately asked humbly for guidance.


    Since he was the only new student that day, Qu Hongyu was more than willing to give this new junior some pointers. She started talking about the Daoist Academy¡¯s in-depth research on Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Foundation Establishment is the most crucial transformation in the process of Immortal Cultivation. It is only by crossing this threshold that one can truly be considered a cultivator. That¡¯s why cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage are known as ¡®True Cultivators¡¯.¡±


    ¡°To successfully establish a foundation, three steps pertaining to our body, spiritual power, and divine sense are needed. The process of Foundation Establishment involves body transmutation, spiritual power condensation, and divine sense departing the body. As these three processes must be completed at one stroke during Foundation Establishment, the failure rate is quite high.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why the ¡®Three Foundation Establishment Treasures¡¯ developed by the Immortal Sect and Daoist Academy are specifically targeted at these three steps. They ensure that, at the very least, a cultivator can pass through the transformation process of body, spiritual power, and divine sense.¡±


    ¡°However, even though the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures are mystical, they are just a substitute for Foundation Building Pills and can¡¯t aid in the final unified transformation and transmutation of the body, spiritual power, and divine sense. Therefore, the key to Foundation Establishment still lies in the cultivator¡¯s own willpower.¡±


    After listening to Qu Hongyu¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement. He caught the most critical point ¨C Foundation Building Pills are still the best to use.


    Seeing his earnestness in wanting to learn, Qu Hongyu, deeming him a teachable student, continued to explain.


    ¡°But willpower is too abstract. So to significantly increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment, the leader of the Immortal Sect from 800 years ago led an effort for the Jumang Daoist Academy to partner with the Imperial Medical Academy in conducting an in-depth research on the transformation process.¡±


    ¡°After observing cultivators establishing their foundations for thousands of times, they derived a set of ¡®Critical Methods¡¯.¡±


    ¡°This cultivation technique can help cultivators to halt at certain critical junctures during the transformation of their body, spiritual power, and divine sense, allowing them to not waste their energy on the initial three-step transformation process and focus all their attention on the final transmutation.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, the success rate of Foundation Establishment began to increase significantly. In recent centuries, our four Daoist Academies have students who have successfully practiced the Critical Methods and, combined with the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures and other external conditions, have made the success rate of Foundation Establishment exceed fifty percent.¡±


    Chen Mobai listened, a bit confused.


    He didn¡¯t understand what the Critical Methods were or how they worked to halt the transformation process.


    So, he humbly asked for more explanation.


    Qu Hongyu was not weary of his questions, she added him as a friend and sent him some documentation.


    She then instructed Chen Mobai to read the documentation while she explained further.


    ¡°Let¡¯s use a simple example. During the process of Foundation Establishment, there¡¯s the step of body transmutation. You can complete this step before Foundation Establishment.¡±


    ¡°And after the body has undergone transformation, it will automatically trigger the spiritual power to condense. Many people are only able to complete the first transformation step¡ªbody transmutation¡ªand lack the energy to complete the condensation of spiritual power.¡±


    ¡°But with the Critical Methods, you can interrupt this automatic process. After completing the body transmutation step, you can halt progression right there. When you feel that you have accumulated enough energy for spiritual power condensation, you can lift the halt and start the next step.¡±


    ¡°In this manner, if you have strong enough foundation, naturally, you would complete the three major steps in one go, culminating in transmutation. If your foundation is not enough, then you can stop after the second step of spiritual power condensation, and prevent the divine sense from leaving the body.¡±


    ¡°This is the Critical Methods. It was inspired from the ancient method ¡®Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret¡¯, discovered by a genius from the Jumang Daoist Academy.¡±


    After listening to Qu Hongyu¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but give her a thumbs-up.


    For the Immortal Sect, this was indeed an earth-shattering contribution.


    No wonder the success rate of Foundation Establishment in the four Daoist Academies could reach up to eighty or ninety percent.


    However, why didn¡¯t they spread such an extraordinary method and let the public know?


    If this was the Tianhe Realm, definitely because they hated to part with it.


    But here on the Immortal Sect¡¯s side, even the most recent research knowledge could be paid for and accessed on specific websites by the public if they were willing.


    Confused, Chen Mobai asked Qu Hongyu about this. The latter shook her head.


    ¡°The Immortal Sect did try to promote it, but this cultivation technique has a drawback: the threshold for cultivation is extremely high. Ordinary people may not be able to grasp it even after decades of practice. With that amount of time, they could have tried to establish their foundation.¡±


    ¡°How high is it?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai was very worried. He¡¯d recently been struggling to comprehend Longevity Sutra and Diphase Technique, and if the Critical Methods were indeed difficult to comprehend, he felt he might be out of luck.


    ¡°It¡¯s still acceptable for us in the four Daoist Academies. After all, the students who get admitted to our academies are all prodigies, so most of us can comprehend it.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai relaxed a little. He thought he got the lowest admission score because he broke through to the late stage of Qi cultivation very late and didn¡¯t have time to study. He believed he was admitted into the Dance Tool Dao Academy for being a prodigy: there was no way he would be unable to understand it!


    ¡°But when the Critical Methods were disseminated to the ten academies, only one percent of people could comprehend it.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s even more needless to say when it comes to the Hundred and Twenty Prefectures. The student resources of one hundred and twenty universities combined didn¡¯t necessarily produce one person who could comprehend it..¡±

 Chapter 174 - Chapter 174: What a coincidence !

    Chapter 174: What a coincidence !


    Translator: 549690339


    Is it really that difficult?


    Chen Mobai felt doubtful. Could it be that the four major Daoist Academies are hiding some cultivation tricks and are keeping them secret?


    However, he couldn¡¯t ask this directly. After all, he had already enrolled and he has a decade to research.


    Qu Hongyu proceeded to talk about the limitations of the ¡°critical technique.¡±


    The longer one gets stuck, the more challenging the following transformative steps become.


    According to the sample of cultivators over the past five hundred years, it¡¯s best not to be stuck for more than ten years. Ideally, completing all steps within ten years is the best.


    The Imperial Medical Academy offered a specific subject to study Foundation Establishment.


    According to their latest research, the spontaneous interaction of the three steps during Foundation Establishment is because of a particular frequency that can affect the ultimate transformation and ascension.


    If one gets stuck for too long, this frequency will be disrupted, resulting in a failed attempt at the final ascension, no matter how successful the three main steps were.


    Chen Mobai accepted all this humbly.


    Under Qu Hongyu¡¯s guidance, he made a visit to the library of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    After swiping his student ID, he found a bookshelf pertaining to Foundation Establishment, which contained various books about the ¡°critical technique¡±.


    ¡°Detailed Explanation of the Critical Technique¡±, ¡°Understanding Criticality¡±, ¡°Exploring the Original of the Critical Technique ¨C Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret¡±, ¡°How to Get Stuck¡±, ¡°Critical Technique¡±¡­


    Chen Mobai felt his horizons broadened. However, judging by the amount of books, he estimated it would take at least a month to finish reading and understanding them.


    There¡¯s just too much knowledge to digest in the world of cultivation.


    He didn¡¯t even know where to start.


    He decided to borrow the most basic book, ¡°The Origin of the Critical Technique¡±.


    After borrowing the book, Chen Mobai visited the cave dwelling of his tutor, the real person of Shaoyang, left a message on the message board at the entrance to show that he had been there, and then returned to his rented wooden house.


    Since school was still three days away, Chen Mobai teleported back to the Divine Wood Sect to complete the log chopping task.


    As soon as he reached the Tianhe Realm, he took out his phone, switched accounts, and keyed in ¡°critical technique¡± into the auxiliary cultivation software.


    As expected, the software didn¡¯t disappoint him; instantly, dozens of related posts popped up.


    Chen Mobai glanced through and noticed many anonymous posts. One bitterly expressed that they had cultivated for ten years without getting a breakthrough, advising newcomers not to waste their time.


    Another mentioned minor progress, but suggested that it wasn¡¯t worth practising as it required too much time.


    After reading all of these, only two cultivators from the four major Daoist Academies had objectively shared their experiences about cultivating the critical technique.


    However, it did nothing to help Chen Mobai, who was still as confused as ever.


    This technique required understanding, and had nothing to do with Spirit Root Talent.


    One would be considered successful if they could perceive how to lock the essence blood, close the energy channel, open and close the Purple Palace.


    Another cultivator from the Imperial Medical Academy provided a learning approach: read the original book, read the detailed explanation, study others¡¯ experiences, learn how to get stuck, and finally, if you still can¡¯t practice successfully, you can explore the Ancient Method Jade Lock Golden Secrets.


    ¡°Huh, there¡¯s content locked to high-level members only.¡±


    At the end of the post, Chen Mobai noticed a page that required the highest level of membership to view.


    This corresponds to the theoretical Rank-5.


    Coincidentally, that¡¯s his rank.


    With a spark of curiosity, Chen Mobai clicked on it and uncovered content the post owner had intentionally hidden as if not wanting anyone to see it.


    ¡°I mastered the critical technique under a very fortuitous circumstance, when I was researching how to maintain my vital essence after sexual activity, aiming to enjoy the pleasure while retaining my virginity.¡±


    ¡°For this study, I delved deep into research and fieldwork. Innumerable self-funded sessions in seeking special services later, I had a sudden realization during one of these experiences.¡±


    ¡°I mastered the Ancient Method Jade Lock Golden Secrets.¡±


    ¡°Then, by reverse-engineering the critical technique, I had no difficulty in mastering it.¡±


    ¡°Unfortunately, it was too late when I managed to successfully cultivate it. I¡¯d lost my vital essence but the successful cultivation of the critical technique and subsequent success in Foundation Establishment brought me immense joy.¡±


    ¡°This post commemorates a research project that was somewhat absurd.¡±


    The last line signed off with [Imperial Medical Academy ¨C Tian Wenguang]!


    After reading the entire post, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but admire him deeply.


    He doesn¡¯t admire many people in his life. Qing Ping, the cultivator of Five Elements Cultivation, is one, and now Tian Wenguang is the second.


    Someone who could attain enlightenment during such an activity¡­ His realm was high and unheard of.


    However, despite his admiration, as a clean and principled person, Chen Mobai had no intention of following in Tian Wenguang¡¯s footsteps.


    Even if he failed in Foundation Establishment, dropped in realm, was ridiculed, or even if the Dance Tool Dao Academy advised him to withdraw, he would absolutely not stoop to seeking special services!


    But he could learn from Wenguang¡¯s study strategy.


    However, his current priority was the Immortality Sutra and Duality Cultivation.


    After showing his face to Yuan Chiye and the fellow disciples, Chen Mobai picked up the axe and went into the Red Sun Forest to chop wood.


    The Red Sun Tree was hard and resistant. Even though he had strengthened the axe with a sharp talisman, it took him ten to twenty swings to chop a tree.


    After felling a tree, he had to saw it into one-meter sections and then split it into small logs about three fingers wide.


    Chen Mobai spent nearly four hours processing one tree into 120 pieces of Red Sun Wood in accordance with the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s standards.


    This won¡¯t do!


    Chen Mobai set aside the axe, used a spell to neatly stack the chopped wood, and was slightly panting after delivering them to the Bud Hall. He thought he didn¡¯t have much time to spare on chopping wood.


    Regardless of exposure, when he returned to the wooden house on Crimson Mountain, he went online immediately to order a portable chainsaw and table saw.


    The chainsaw for cutting trees, the table saw for chopping logs.


    Despite these two tools being the lowest specification, they still cost him nearly 800 Good Deed Points.


    Unfortunately, due to these being categorized as offensive mechanical magic artifacts, he needed to register with a legitimate purpose and identification before they could be shipped.


    Conveniently, Chen Mobai lived in the mountains and had a genuine excuse; he wished to renovate his wooden house.


    The vendor didn¡¯t inquire much and promptly agreed to dispatch the order the next morning. They informed that upon delivery, some assembly would be required.


    As the vendor was located in Crimson City, the product arrived in the afternoon. Chen Mobai even had to use a Path Seeking Talisman since his residence was a bit tricky to find.


    Upon delivery, Chen Mobai followed the vendor¡¯s video tutorial to assemble the chainsaw and table saw.

    He went back to the Divine Wood Sect in the evening. When everyone else was practicing their Qi cultivation, he snuck off with the two pieces of machinery to the usual place where he chopped wood.


    He put a Quiet Talisman on the machines to mute their noise and used a Spirit Seeking Talisman to ensure nobody was around. And then, he switched on the machines and started sawing.


    The next morning¡­


    Yuan Chiye was flabbergasted as he looked at the 2100 perfectly standard pieces of Red Sun Wood, each appearing as if precisely measured with a ruler before being chopped, that Chen Mobai handed over.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, this is my quota for seven days. I¡¯m going to take another seven days off for closed-door cultivation..¡±

 Chapter 175 - Chapter 175: Chopping Logs Sword Technique_l

    Chapter 175: Chopping Logs Sword Technique_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Over two thousand Red Sun Wood logs piled up at the entrance were immediately attracting the attention of all the disciples at Bud Hall.


    Chen Mobai saw Zhuo Ming, Yu Lian, and the siblings from the Luo family all emerging from their rooms, all watching the scene in disbelief.


    Yuan Chiye was also a little surprised.


    Even if he did it himself, he couldn¡¯t chop so many logs in one night.


    This kind of speed and efficiency, perhaps only elder cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, who have specifically practiced a log-chopping spell, could achieve.


    Were these purchased with Spirit Stones from the sect¡¯s Fang Market?


    But right away, Yuan Chiye shook his head. Why should he bother with these things? All he needed was to collect enough Red Sun Wood logs.


    After confirming that the quantity was correct, Yuan Chiye immediately approved Chen Mobai¡¯s request for another closed-door cultivation session.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, can you introduce us to your method?¡±


    Just when Chen Mobai was about to disappear into his room, he was suddenly stopped by the Luo siblings. Luo Yixiu asked seriously.


    ¡°What method?¡±


    Chen Mobai was utterly confused.


    ¡°If Junior Brother Chen doesn¡¯t want to share, then forget it.¡±


    Frowning slightly, Luo Yixiu expressed his dissatisfaction with Chen Mobai¡¯s pretentious behaviour.


    This aristocratic child is so annoying!


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to turn around and leave, Liu Wenbo suddenly walked over with a few people.


    ¡°Senior Brother Luo, don¡¯t you have your own channel for buying Red Sun Wood logs? Why are you asking Brother Chen?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean by this?¡±


    Luo Yixiu¡¯s face darkened slightly when he heard Liu Wenbo¡¯s words.


    ¡°Senior Brother Luo, there are some things we don¡¯t need to make too explicit, so as not to put Senior Brother Yuan in a difficult position.¡±


    Liu Wenbo spoke calmly, while Yuan Chiye approved with a look.


    ¡°Very well!¡±


    Although Luo Yixiu also believed that he could become a True Disciple in the future, he was still just a newcomer and didn¡¯t dare to be too presumptuous in front of Yuan Chiye.


    After the Luo siblings left, Zhuo Ming and the others, who had been watching from the sidelines, also came over and expressed their solidarity with Chen Mobai and Liu Wenbo.


    Chen Mobai never expected them to do so, but his affection for Liu Wenbo greatly increased.


    ¡°Can we buy our own Red Sun Wood logs to meet the quota?¡±


    As an expression of gratitude, Chen Mobai asked as he invited Liu Wenbo in for tea. Zhuo Ming and the others also thickened their faces and followed.


    ¡°Yes, the Luo siblings and I have bought logs from the sect¡¯s Fang Market before for Senior Brother Yuan¡­¡±


    Liu Wenbo didn¡¯t hide anything and admitted with a nod.


    ¡°At what price?¡±


    Zhuo Ming couldn¡¯t help asking. Recently, she switched to practicing the Longevity Scripture and her realm hadn¡¯t recovered yet. The efficiency of her wood-cutting wasn¡¯t ideal, and she was behind by several hundred logs.


    ¡°One lower-grade Spirit Stone for 500 logs.¡±


    After hearing this, Zhuo Ming looked pained.


    She decided to work harder herself, getting up early and going to bed late to chop wood.


    She silently cursed the wealthy disciples for their abundance of Spirit Stones¡ª they couldn¡¯t even be bothered to chop wood and used Spirit Stones to buy it.


    ¡°Brother Chen, when we go to the Fang Market to buy Red Sun Wood logs, we can only buy enough for two days. How did you manage to buy so many at once?¡±


    Liu Wenbo couldn¡¯t resist his curiosity and asked Chen Mobai.


    [These were chopped by me!]


    But if he said this, no one would believe it. To prove it, he might have to reveal the mechanical magical tools from Earth-source Star, such as the chainsaw.


    Chen Mobai could only pretend to look mysterious.


    ¡°I have my sources, but I can¡¯t share them with you.¡±


    ¡°In that case, could Senior Brother help me to buy some? I don¡¯t want too much ¨C a week¡¯s quota will do.¡±


    During their discussion, Liu Wenbo put 5 Spirit Stones on the table.


    Chen Mobai fell silent.


    In other words, if he helped chop wood for a night, he could get 5 Spirit Stones.


    Five stones overnight! The pay seemed pretty good!


    But Chen Mobai quickly came back to his senses. He didn¡¯t immediately agree, but he didn¡¯t refuse either. After all, Liu Wenbo had given him a hand-copied scripture on longevity, a favor he remembered.


    ¡°1 will contact the seller for you, but whether it¡¯ll work out, depends on their preference. But I will try my best for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were watertight, as if he really did have a seller who could provide him with Red Sun Wood logs.


    ¡°In that case, I am grateful for Senior Brother Chen¡¯s help.¡±


    Chen Mobai humbly accepted this and returned the 5 Spirit Stones on the table to Liu Wenbo. Then he left the room, as if he was really going to do business.


    ¡°You follow him, and see who he is in contact with.¡±


    As Chen Mobai left, Luo Yixiu instructed one of his junior disciples.


    ¡°He is in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, if you follow him, you¡¯ll likely be found out.¡±


    Luo Yixuan stopped the junior disciple who was about to leave and took out an invisibility talisman from her storage bag.


    ¡°Take this.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Chen Mobai wandered around the woods and quietly activated a Rank-1 Spirit Seeking Talisman. This talisman was specifically used by the immortals to locate living creatures and could not be outsmarted by invisibility.


    He promptly spotted three people lurking in the vicinity.


    Though uncertain if all three were tailing him, he acted as if they were.


    After leading them around for half an hour, Chen Mobai returned to Bud Hall, apologetically shaking his head at Liu Wenbo.


    He informed that he had bought up all the stock of Red Sun Wood from the seller, meaning there wouldn¡¯t be any available for the time being.


    Despite his disappointment, Liu Wenbo graciously expressed gratitude.


    ¡°What, you didn¡¯t see who he contacted?¡±


    Luo Yixiu widened his eyes in surprise upon hearing the report of the person in front of him.


    ¡°Alright, you can leave.¡±


    Luo Yixuan waved dismissively, signalling him to leave. Once they were alone, Luo Yixiu dropped his pretense and let his feelings show.


    ¡°These useless Loose Cultivators. If only we could bring the family-born disciples from our clan instead of accommodating them.¡±


    ¡°After all, everyone who enters the Divine Wood Sect aspires to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. How could they be like those family-born disciples who willingly serve us?¡±


    Luo Yixuan had a resigned expression on her face.


    ¡°Where did this Chen Guixian get so much Red Sun Wood? Didn¡¯t that person say that the most they could lose at the Earth Fire Hall was around a thousand logs per day?¡±


    Earth Fire Hall!


    The place in the Divine Wood Sect specialized for Alchemy and Artifact Refining. All the Red Sun Wood gathered by these new disciples every day was sent there by Yuan Chiye.


    The consumption of Red Sun Wood fluctuated during the process of Alchemy and Artifact Refining, which led to some shortage. Some Red Sun Wood, which on paper should have been burned during refining, found its way back into the sect¡¯s Fang Market through inside channels.


    Some cultivators interested in Alchemy and Artifact Refining would buy some.


    But Luo Yixiu, knowing this in advance through the elders of their Liu family in the Divine Wood Sect, would spend Spirit Stones to buy this surplus Red Sun Wood, leaving more time for himself and his sister to cultivate.


    ¡°That is a minor issue. The key is, how did Liu Wenbo find out about it?¡±


    ¡°After all, he is from the Liu family. It¡¯s normal for him to have some channels.¡±


    While the Luo siblings were discussing this, Liu Wenbo also shared his unintentional discovery.


    ¡°You said, on the Red Sun Wood given to Brother Yuan by the Luo siblings that day, there were marks you made while chopping logs?¡±


    ¡°Exactly. It was from that moment I found out that Brother Yuan was also in the know. After that, I privately made connections. Only, the brother who liaises with me from Earth Fire Hall mentioned that the daily amount they can acquire is limited.¡±


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    It seemed that even the celestial sector couldn¡¯t prevent greed and corruption, let alone the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°By the way, Elder Brother Chen, which of the three halls and twelve departments are you planning to go to after you finish chopping wood?¡±


    Liu Wenbo suddenly posed a question.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be tilling Spirit Fields.¡±


    However, all were surprised by Chen Mobai¡¯s answer given without any hesitation. None of them knew that Chen Mobai, after blending into the Divine Wood Sect, only had one goal left; to obtain the Foundation Building Pill. He now only hoped to avoid any distractions.


    ¡°I really admire Elder Brother Chen¡¯s indifference. Unfortunately, I am burdened by my familial commitments. I need to struggle and make my way in the halls of the sect to pave the way for those who will come in the future.¡±


    Liu Wenbo gave a bitter smile. After bidding Chen Mobai farewell, he left.


    When night fell,


    Chen Mobai once again quietly left Bud Hall, but just as he was preparing to go to the Red Sun Forest to chop logs, he found someone trailing him.


    Frowning, he took a roundabout route and returned.


    About fifteen minutes later, Chen Mobai saw Yu Lian enter from outside. After some hesitation, he walked straight towards him.


    ¡°If you have extra Red Sun Wood, I¡¯m willing to buy it at twice the market price.¡±


    After saying these words, Yu Lian turned around and went back into his room.


    Turns out, chopping logs seems rather profitable in terms of Spirit Stones.


    Chen Mobai discovered that his investment of over eight hundred Good Deed Points might generate a profit of tens of times more.


    He went out again, but this time, thankfully, there was no one following him.


    The Giant Tree Ridge was vast and scarcely populated. Although it lacked other resources, it was rich in an abundance of trees. So many trees that every year, the Divine Wood Sect would organize a mission to cut various Spirits Woods, which were then used for building Spirit Fields.


    Red Sun Trees were the most numerous and fast-growing among them.


    Yuan Chiye didn¡¯t restrict where the new disciples should chop. As long as they contributed enough quantities, it was acceptable.


    Previously, Chen Mobai chose the location closest to Bud Hall, but now, to divert attention, he had to go a bit further.


    His chosen wood-chopping location was almost double the distance where Zhuo Ming and others usually frequented, simply to avoid detection by familiar faces.


    However, this made transportation inconvenient.


    But Chen Mobai had already thought of a solution.


    With the incentive of earning Spirit Stones, he was more motivated to operate the chainsaw.


    For two whole days and nights, he tirelessly worked, and wood chips flew around.


    That evening,


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Liu Wenbo received a sound-transmitting talisman and a Guidance Talisman from Chen Mobai. Accompanied by a few disciples, he rushed over. Seeing the piled up like mountains and countable to tens of thousands of Red Sun Wood, he could not help but gasp.


    ¡°During my logging in these woods, I happened to encounter a senior practicing his sword technique with Red Sun Wood¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai made up a very reasonable explanation.


    After listening to this, Liu Wenbo looked at the neatly cut stump nearby and then at each ultra-standard log ¨C seemingly measured by a ruler before being cut. He immediately believed in Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    The sword technique of this wood-chopping senior is truly amazing..

 Chapter 176 - Chapter 176 Zhongli Tianyu l

    Chapter 176 Zhongli Tianyu l


    Translator: 549690339


    Inside a wooden hut on Crimson Mountain, Chen Mobai sat on his cushion.


    On the floor in front of him were the 20 Spirit Stones he had earned from two hard days of chopping logs. He found it quite laborious.


    However, chopping logs indeed seemed to be a path to wealth.


    This was the amount he earned from selling to Liu Wenbo. If he sold to Yu Lian instead, the earnings would be doubled.


    But Chen Mobai remembered the favor he received from Liu Wenbo, when he gifted him the ¡°Sutra of Everlasting Life,¡± so he decided to give Liu the Red Sun Wood logs.


    After this event, their friendship had deepened even further.


    ¡°Now I have 50 Spirit Stones, although it¡¯s still a little far from the 90 needed to cultivate the Double Sun Body. However, these Spirit Stones should be enough to last for half a year. Maybe it¡¯s time to start trying?¡± Chen Mobai muttered to himself.


    But finally, he decided to consult with the teachers of the Dance Tool Dao Academy before taking the next step.


    Even though he possessed the precious Turtle Shell, which allowed him to freely traverse between two realms, Chen Mobai felt increasingly stretched by his limited energy and found it hard to focus on the best plan he had devised.


    He even wondered whether he should abandon the Sutra of Everlasting Life and the Dual Yin-Yang Powers, and concentrate solely on cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll.


    He hoped that after the semester began, he could find a teacher who could answer the doubts in his heart.


    While immersed in numerous thoughts, Chen Mobai took a rare nap.


    The next morning, Chen Mobai left his hut, shouldering a small backpack, and walked on the mountain trail towards the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Oh!¡±


    A familiar voice sounded from behind him and Chen Mobai turned his head to look.


    He saw a girl with delicate facial features, slightly curly long hair, wearing a white shirt, light-colored coat, and tight jeans that outlined her perfect waist and hip curves. She was floating above a skateboard. It was Meng Huang.


    ¡°Why are you here? Are you jogging?¡± She asked, as she took off her headphones, raising her hand to greet Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I¡¯m accustomed to sleeping alone since childhood, so I rented a place.¡± Chen Mobai gave an excuse but avoided mentioning that his wooden hut was located in the valley below her villa to prevent any misunderstanding.


    ¡°Is that so? Then I¡¯ll go ahead, don¡¯t be late!¡± Meng Huang didn¡¯t suspect anything. She injected her Spiritual Power into the skateboard under her feet, put her headphones back on and sped past Chen Mobai, floating along the winding mountain trail.


    ¡°That¡¯s a nice skateboard, I should perhaps consider getting one too,¡± Chen Mobai took out his mobile phone and started searching for similar products on the ¡®Xianmen¡¯ website. He found a variety of prices.


    Sorting by price, the most expensive skateboard turned out to be the one Meng Huang had just been using, costing a whopping 880,000 Good Deed Points.


    He almost gasped at the price.


    Who would dare to charge such outrageous prices?


    Chen Mobai clicked to view more details.


    Oh, it turns out to be a Rank-2 Magic Artifact.


    The core component is an Earth Elemental Magnet. As long as it is within the range of the Starry Earth¡¯s magnetic field, it can freely fly and float according to the terrain, over lakes and mountains.


    When he saw Meng Huang only floating along the mountain trail earlier, he thought its functionalities were simple. He didn¡¯t expect Meng Huang was only abiding by traffic regulations and not flying over the mountains.


    If he brought this Artifact to the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai could sell it for 888 Spirit Stones.


    Only if he could afford it. Moreover, it is a Rank-2 Magic Artifact specially designed for the Starry Earth¡¯s magnetic field. If brought to the Tianhe Realm, it would probably become junk.


    Checking the time, he felt he might be late and quickly stuck two Godspeed Talismans on himself.


    ¡°Hi.¡±


    Half an hour later, Chen Mobai caught up with Meng Huang at the foot of the Dance Tool Dao Academy and greeted her.


    ¡°You can go ahead.¡±


    Meng Huang hesitated a bit, seemingly afraid that her presence might impact Chen Mobai¡¯s peace at school, and gently suggested.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go to the auditorium first and reserve a seat for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai misunderstood, thinking that Meng Huang perhaps had something to do.


    While the effects of the Godspeed Talisman were still in place, he hopped lightly, instantly crossing several steps. After six or seven bounces, he arrived at the reception platform where he had conversed with Qu Hongyu and Meng Mu last time.


    However, the place was now empty.


    Chen Mobai followed the arrows marked throughout Crimson Mountain, and after climbing nearly a thousand steps, he finally arrived at an auditorium in the middle of the mountain.


    There was a receptionist at the door who let him in after scanning his student ID.


    Chen Mobai found a seat in the back corner, continued browsing for similar magic tools like Yuan Magnets Skateboard on his mobile phone, and kept an eye on the door to see when Meng Huang would enter.


    However, even when the leaders of the Daoist Academy took the stage to give their speeches, he still didn¡¯t see Meng Huang appear.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    He wanted to ask, but then Chen Mobai remembered that he didn¡¯t add her as a friend on his phone.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ve said my piece. Now let¡¯s invite this year¡¯s Freshman Delegate to the stage.¡±


    The leader of the Dance Tool Dao Academy ended his speech very concisely. Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t even reacted when he already stepped down from the stage.


    The Freshman Delegate was a short boy with bangs covering his eyes.


    His opening remarks rendered everyone in the audience speechless.


    ¡°My name is Zhongli Tianyu.¡±


    ¡°Originally, my first choice was the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, and I was accepted.¡±


    ¡°However, after evaluating my qualifications, they said I was more suited for ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ instead of the ¡®Six Resisting Sutra¡¯. So, I had no choice but to come here.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s all, done!¡±


    After he finished speaking, he walked straight off the stage and returned to his seat in the first row.


    Only one thing came to Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    This guy is pretty arrogant.


    Not just him, the whole auditorium, including the new students attending the orientation ceremony and those who have been studying for several years, all looked indignantly at Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°Is he the monster who established his foundation before entering school?¡±


    ¡°Yes, from the Zhongli family of the Mysterious Heavenly Cave, after all, he¡¯s a descendant of a Divinity Transformation ancestor.¡±


    ¡°No wonder he is so arrogant, he really has the means to back it up.¡±


    After hearing these remarks, Chen Mobai felt they were correct.


    If he had such a background and had already established his foundation, he suspected that he would probably be more arrogant than this kid.


    ¡°Now let¡¯s invite our student representative to the stage¡­¡±


    The subsequent ceremony went by for Chen Mobai who thought the opening ceremony of one of the four great Daoist Academies would be interesting, only to find it wasn¡¯t much different from high school.


    Despite the opening ceremony being over, he still hadn¡¯t seen Meng Huang. He was about to leave when a call from an unknown number reached him.


    After hesitating a bit, Chen Mobai answered.


    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the assistant guidance counselor from the academy. As your mentor, Master Shaoyang, is in seclusion, I will be guiding your cultivation temporarily to avoid affecting your studies. Are you available now?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Good, please come to the principal¡¯s office in the mountain-top teaching building. I¡¯m waiting for you here.¡±


    When the call was over, Chen Mobai suddenly realised.


    The principal¡¯s office!


    The principals of the four great Daoist Academies are all Nascent Soul experts, aren¡¯t they!


    Why choose this place to meet?

 Chapter 177 - Chapter 177: Soulful Mirror, Formless Puppet 1

    Chapter 177: Soulful Mirror, Formless Puppet 1


    Translator: 549690339           ¡ª


    Following the arrow directions within the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai arrived at the top of Crimson Mountain half an hour later.


    Indeed, there stood a seven-storeyed building that resembled a pagoda.


    There was a formation protecting the entrance, but Chen Mobai¡¯s student ID was the pass. After swiping it, he freely entered the tallest building on Crimson Mountain.


    He quickly arrived at the principal¡¯s office on the seventh floor.


    ¡°Please, come in!¡±


    After the knocking, the voice which had called him earlier came from inside.


    Walking in, he saw a silver-haired old man standing beside the conference table.


    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Chen Mobai.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, you are the earliest one to arrive. Sit for a while, there are thirteen more people.¡±


    The silver-haired old man nodded towards Chen Mobai with a smile.


    He introduced himself as Che Yucheng, the educational director from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Nice to meet you, Teacher Che.¡±


    Sometime later, two more students arrived. They greeted Che Yucheng respectfully, who responded with a smile, instructing them to take a seat. Approximately half an hour later, everyone was present, except for one person. Che Yucheng frowned slightly, made a phone call, and then shook his head helplessly.


    ¡°Zhongli Tianyu has some matters to deal with, and can¡¯t come for now. Let¡¯s begin.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be surprised.


    He didn¡¯t expect the last person to be that Zhongli Tianyu. Given Tianyu¡¯s talents and conditions, could he also have been assigned a neglectful advisor like him?


    The reason I asked you all here was mentioned during the phone call.¡±


    Within our Dance Tool Daoist Academy, there are two Divinity Transformation Techniques. Among this year¡¯s freshmen, only you thirteen have chosen to practice these techniques.¡±


    ¡°The Pure Yang Scroll, after the modifications by the Yuan Yang, is not so bad. As long as persistent efforts are made, anyone can get started, although the improvement will be slow.¡±


    ¡°However, The Union of Differences, requires many considerations and has many restrictions. Since you all have such aspirations, the academy will naturally provide you with the utmost support.¡±


    ¡°First, we need to identify your qualifications and see if they match The Union of Differences. Furthermore, we need to see if there are any participating objects within the Immortals Sect suitable for you.¡±


    Che Yucheng walked to the front of the conference table. After a long speech, he turned and pointed to a full-length mirror sitting in the corner of the principal¡¯s office.


    The mirror was approximately two meters in height and half a meter in width. The corners were rounded, wrapped with a maroon wooden frame. It looked very plain.


    ¡°This is the principal¡¯s legal treasure, the Rank-4 Soulful Mirror.¡±


    ¡°You all stand before the mirror one by one. Approximately three minutes later, the most complete personal panel of your current stage will be formed.¡± After finishing his instructions, he gestured for the closest freshman to walk up.


    Dings and beeps sounded, and features similar to electric waves started flashing on the mirror, forming lines of text. However, no matter how Chen Mobai looked, he couldn¡¯t make out what was written.


    ¡°Alright, you can step down now.¡±


    Che Yucheng waved the freshman down, then pressed a button on the office printer.


    Soon, about a dozen pages were printed out.


    Che Yucheng looked through them, confirmed that there were no abnormalities and then, nodding, handed them to the student.


    ¡°Keep this with you. The academy will keep an electronic version on file, and it will be of use later.¡±


    Chen Mobai was somewhat worried. His Spiritual Root values, due to the special produce of the Tianhe Realm, were slightly higher than normal. He didn¡¯t know if the Dance Tool Daoist Academy would probe deeper into this. However, there was no reason for him to back out at this point.


    When it was his turn, Chen Mobai gritted his teeth and stood in front of the Soulful Mirror.


    In the midst of the beeping sounds.


    He discovered he could clearly see the contents projected on the mirror.


    It displayed his Spiritual Root values, the circulation routes of the spiritual power in his body, the development of his meridians, his physical age, the status of the two Spiritual Power Vortexes in his Dantian Qi Sea, and even the mysterious Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, mirroring the outline of a sapling¡­


    It turned out that the texts and contents reflected on the mirror could only be seen by the related person.


    ¡°Hmm, your innate Yuan Qi seems to be much richer than the average person¡¯s.


    The total of your Spirit Root Attributes exceeds too.¡±


    After Che Yucheng briefly browsed the content printed out, he was slightly surprised when he saw the part about the Spiritual Roots.


    ¡°When my mother was pregnant with me, she lived in the mountains, perhaps I was nourished by a richer Elemental Energy.¡±


    Chen Mobai could only create this story to explain. Fortunately, although it is rare for one to have a total Spirit Root Attribute exceeding too in the Immortals Sect, it¡¯s not impossible.


    ¡°How far have you progressed in your cultivation of the Pure Yang Daoist Body?¡±


    After finishing his reading, Che Yucheng raised his head and asked a very critical question.


    ¡°I¡¯ve just cultivated to the first level.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated but eventually decided to reply truthfully.


    Che Yucheng looked even more surprised after hearing this.


    He checked Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Root values again.


    [Gold 23, Wood 31, Water 27, Fire 26, Earth 10]


    Adding up to a total of 117 points. The Pure Yang Daoist Body consumes 3 points each from wood and water attributes, and adds 9 points to the fire attribute, hence it¡¯s very easy to calculate Chen Mobai¡¯s original Spirit Root Attributes.


    That is to say, his original Spiritual Root Value was 114 points!


    This child¡¯s innate Yuan Qi is quite abundant, to say the least.


    However, Che Yucheng merely memorized it in his heart but didn¡¯t mention it aloud. He handed the pile of thirteen pages to Chen Mobai, and then signaled the next one to go up and look into the mirror.


    In no time, everyone in the office had completed the procedure.


    Then, Che Yucheng led them to the lab on the first floor.


    The lab was mostly empty, but along both sides of the wall, there were life-sized transparent faceless mannequins with eyes and screens on their foreheads.


    Chen Mobai counted fourteen of these mannequins.


    ¡°These are no-feature mannequins, the finest creation from a collaboration between our Dance Tool Daoist Academy¡¯s puppetry studies and Jumang Daoist Academy¡¯s bionics department. They can perfectly simulate the practise and breakthrough of the Cultivation Technique in a human body.¡±


    When everyone was puzzled, Che Yucheng began to introduce the transparent mannequins.


    ¡°I Will input the body model data of each of you, reflected by the Soulful Mirror into these no-feature mannequins. Then, it will simulate all the problems and ¡¯ stages you will encounter when practicing the Divinity Transformation Techniques.¡±


    If you can smoothly reach the Foundation Establishment level, then the academy will not stop you from practicing The Union of Differences or the Pure Yang Scroll. However, if you can¡¯t evolve to the Foundation Establishment level, it means you are not suitable for practicing Divinity Transformation Techniques, and we will persuade you to give up.¡±


    ¡°Of course, if you insist on practicing regardless, the academy will respect your decision.¡±

    After he finished speaking, Che Yucheng inserted the USB drive in his hand into an input socket at the back of one of the no-feature mannequins¡¯ heads.


    In the eyes of the astonished crowd, the insides of this life-sized transparent mannequin began to show meridians, bones, and internal organs.


    In the end, the faceless mannequin transformed into a face identical to a freshman sitting next to Chen Mobai. Its left and right eyes were two digital dials, the purpose of which was unknown.


    As Che Yucheng activated the mannequin, the screen on its forehead began changing, and eventually formed an illusion of a longsword.


    Simultaneously, the mannequin¡¯s left eye slowly started to rotate, and the number changed from ¡°zero¡± to ¡°one¡±..

 Chapter 178 - Chapter 178 Role of the Doll i

    Chapter 178 Role of the Doll i


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°To cultivate ¡®The Union of Differences1, you need to match it with a compatible spiritual object. This is the best choice given to you by the Soulful Mirror.¡± Che Yucheng pointed at the illusory longsword on the forehead display of the mannequin, explaining while manipulating the genderless dummy to transform.


    Amid the exclamations of the crowd.


    The dummy began to sit cross-legged, taking on a cultivation posture.


    Its brain region seemed to store spiritual energy, which, upon the transformation¡¯s initiation, flashed along with the illusory longsword on the dummy¡¯s forehead display, passing through the body¡¯s meridians by the twelve-story building, finally pooling into the Qi sea in the Dantian.


    ¡°This spiritual energy is equivalent to one percent of yours during cultivation. You can observe the slow motion of the spiritual energy circulation within the meridians, which signifies potential areas for improvement during your cultivation.¡±


    As the mannequin began its first round of Qi cultivation, Che Yucheng meticulously explained, then activated the fast-forward button.


    Subsequently, Chen Mobai clearly saw the digital wheel in the dummy¡¯s left eye jump from ¡°one¡± to ¡°two¡±, then from ¡°two¡± to ¡°three¡±, where it got stuck.


    ¡°The left eye represents the realm of Qi cultivation. ¡®One¡¯ signifies the first layer of Qi cultivation. Getting stuck at ¡®three¡¯ means you would likely hit a bottleneck when cultivating ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯.¡±


    Che Yucheng paused here, explained again, and then hit the fast-forward button again.


    But it was stuck for nearly nine minutes before the digital wheel in the dummy¡¯s left eye slowly clicked to ¡°four¡±.


    Nine minutes implies that you will be stuck in a nine-month bottleneck stage at level three of Qi cultivation. Generally, those who get stuck at this stage are not suitable for cultivating ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯.¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s words made the newcomer next to Chen Mobai turn slightly pale, but he remained headstrong with resolute determination in his eyes.


    The digital wheel in the left eye got stuck again for fifteen minutes when it reached ¡°six¡±.


    Chen Mobai clearly saw the young man next to him clenching his fists tightly. Che Yucheng did not say much, just maintaining pressure on the fast-forward button. When it reached the ninth level of Qi cultivation, he signaled everyone to watch carefully.


    ¡°This is the process of Foundation Establishment. The mannequin was initially made for this sole purpose.¡±


    Having heard that, Chen Mobai clearly saw the dummy¡¯s transparent internal organs and meridians begin to tremble wildly. Right after, the spiritual power within the Dantian began drawing to its center, forming a spiritual power vortex and solidifying into the first drop of liquified spiritual power.


    So that¡¯s the function of a spiritual power vortex. No wonder that Qing Ping said in his Five Elements Cultivation lecture that practicing this could increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by ten percent.


    Chen Mobai was excited, his admiration for Qing Ping rising once again.


    However, he also realized why the success rate of Foundation Establishment was so high at the four great Daoist academies.


    With the Critical Method, a simulation mannequin to mimic Foundation Establishment, and an aid for Foundation Establishment, even those with average Spirit Root aptitude would significantly increase their chances of success in Foundation Establishment when they had these three conditions.


    In awe, Chen Mobai suddenly noticed that the clearly visible face of the simulation mannequin started to blur. The liquified spiritual power within its Dantian went out of control, rushing out and damaging internal organs in its path.


    Shortly after, the dummy¡¯s illusory internal meridians and organs faded and turned transparent again.


    It signified that the Foundation Establishment failed!


    Wang Xingyu, you are not suitable for cultivating ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯.


    This is the result of the simulation mannequin¡¯s prediction.¡±


    Che Yucheng spoke regretfully. The young man standing beside Chen Mobai turned pale. However, the obstinacy remained evident in his eyes.


    ¡°I wish to try. If I successfully cultivate the Critical Method and only get stuck in the second step of Foundation Establishment, I believe that I can succeed in Foundation Establishment.¡±


    The young man named Wang Xingyu spoke out his choice after some silence.


    Che Yucheng sighed upon hearing this, and dutifully gave a final word of advice.


    ¡°Even if you manage to cultivate the Critical Method, it cannot guarantee a 100% success rate for Foundation Establishment.¡±


    In the simulation of the mannequin, only when your probability of successful Foundation Establishment goes above 50%, will it show success. If you want to cultivate ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯, this is far from sufficient.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to hurry to make a decision, you can go back and think it over carefully. After you¡¯ve thought it through, you can come to find me.¡±


    After advising, he removed a USB stick and inserted it into another mannequin.


    This thing isn¡¯t just for one-time use, is it?


    Chen Mobai saw this scene and was puzzled.


    However, he believed that given the extreme frugality of the Dao of immortality regarding resources, such disposable items couldn¡¯t possibly be manufactured.


    While he was lost in his thoughts, the transformation of the second mannequin had already begun. This time, the spiritual object chosen was a bird.


    Unfortunately, the Foundation Establishment still failed.


    The girl named Lu Zixuan looked gloomy, but she chose to heed Che Yucheng¡¯s advice and gave up cultivating ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯.


    Among the subsequent eight people, only two of them successfully established their foundation in one go during the mannequin¡¯s transformation.


    Their excitement was evident.


    However, among those who failed the Foundation Establishment simulation, only three decided to give up. The rest expressed their wish to try, Che Yucheng unanimously gave them three days to think it over.


    Next are the newcomers who have chosen the ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the other two boys; the three of them walked up to the three mannequins in front of them.


    ¡°After Yuan Yang¡¯s revision, the threshold of ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ has disappeared. In theory, as long as life span permits, anyone can cultivate it.¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s words puzzled Chen Mobai. If success is guaranteed, what is there for the mannequin to simulate?


    Then Che Yucheng explained the problem.


    ¡°However, the issue with the ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ lies on lifespan, as half of your life has to be used for cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body, which naturally reduces the time available for advancing realms.¡±


    ¡°During Qi cultivation, it doesn¡¯t impact much. But after Foundation Establishment, while others only need a few years to break through a realm level, you might need ten years.¡±


    ¡°Based on the patterns seen in Dance Tool Dao Academy and Pure Yang Academy over the past thousand years, If you establish your foundation with ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ before the age of 30, you have a chance of achieving Core Formation. After 30, every single case, without exception, died of old age at the stage of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    So that¡¯s what the simulation mannequin predicts.


    Chen Mobai understood.


    He also understood why the original Crimson Robed Daoist had abandoned the ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ and converted to practice Scorching Heaven Cultivation.


    Che Yucheng inserted Chen Mobai¡¯s USB stick first. Afterwards, he saw the transparent mannequin in front of him transform into his appearance, and internal meridians and organs began appearing in its body.


    The glow of the three-colored spirit root appeared, and the training routes of both Pure Yang Daoist Body and Pure Yang Scroll started running within the mannequin¡¯s body. The digital wheel in the left eye began to rotate.

    When it turned to the number ¡°nine¡±, Chen Mobai saw a line of text appearing on the display screen on the mannequin¡¯s forehead.


    Age: 39.


    ¡°Your fire spiritual roots value is too low. If you divide your attention to cultivate the three Yangs, you can reach perfection in the ninth layer of Qi cultivation by the age of 39 and attempt your first Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Without any surprise, Che Yucheng began to simulate the Foundation Establishment process.


    Just when everyone expected failure, it surprisingly succeeded in Foundation Establishment at the first attempt..

 Chapter 179 - Chapter 179: The Cost of One Deduction_l

    Chapter 179: The Cost of One Deduction_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    This result surprised Che Yucheng. He specifically inspected the Faceless Puppet, thinking there was a mistake in his deduction.


    No damage at all.


    He then carefully scanned the thirteen pages of data that Chen Mobai had printed from the Soulful Mirror. Finally, he identified the root of the problem.


    ¡°Hmm, your Five Elements Cultivation, while relying on external factors and fostering unstable spiritual power, has already formed a vortex of spiritual power. Furthermore, Xiao Yu has lit the flame with Flame Lighting Technique, converting it into Pure Yang spiritual power, and the step of condensing Qi into Liquid has already been advanced.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, the realm of your Divine Sense vastly exceeds the level of Qi Cultivation. The Soulful Mirror reflects your divine consciousness leaving the body without significant issues.¡±


    ¡°Among the three key steps of Foundation Establishment, the first step, Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, is the simplest. Assisted by spiritual objects such as the Mysterious Fire Spirit Liquid Giant Kun Essence Blood, it¡¯s almost guaranteed to succeed. The Faceless Puppet assumes the most perfect condition in its deduction, confirming that if nothing unexpected occurs, you have a probability of over 50% to succeed in Foundation Establishment on your first attempt.¡±


    This is a small flaw of the Faceless Puppet, after all, it¡¯s just a tool.


    Many people have simulated their Foundation Establishment process and succeeded, but when they attempt it in reality, they discover they can¡¯t perform as flawlessly as the puppet.


    Therefore, to increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment among all the immortal students, the Immortal Gate developed the software Foundation Treasure, and collaborated with the Daoist Academy to research the ¡°Critical Law¡±.


    However, due to limited resources of the Immortal Gate, currently, only a small proportion of elite students from the Four Major Daoist Academies and Ten Major Colleges have access to these resources.


    Following Chen Mobai, the other two students who chose the Pure Yang Scroll also completed their deductions using the Faceless Puppet.


    A boy named Yunyang Bing happened to be thirty years old but failed his Foundation Establishment.


    Another boy, Ming Yuhua, seemed to possess even more astonishing talent. He could cultivate the Three Yang Bodies at the age of twenty-eight and reach Perfection in Qi Cultivation Level Nine, but he also failed in Foundation Establishment.


    After observing this, Che Yucheng fell into deep thought.


    Normally, Chen Mobai, who could only cultivate the Three Yang Bodies and reach Qi Cultivation Level Nine at thirty-eight years old, would essentially be advised to give up and not cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll.


    But he succeeded in his first attempt at Foundation Establishment.


    Furthermore, since the Red-Robed True Man was willing to exhaust a year¡¯s effort to perform the Flame Lighting Technique to ignite his fire, it¡¯s possible that there is potential in him that Yucheng had not seen.


    If Chen Mobai isn¡¯t discouraged, the other two students definitely won¡¯t be.


    Yunyang Bing and Ming Yuhua are the real prodigies. The former¡¯s Fire Spirit Root reaches 48 points, while the latter¡¯s an incredible 61 points, giving them an advantage from the start in Cultivating Pure Yang Body.


    In the best-case scenario, Ming Yuhua will attain the Five Yangs and reach 100 points in his Immortal Fire Spirit Root.


    However, throughout his nearly four hundred years, Che Yucheng has seen more than his share of prodigies.


    He feels that if Ming Yuhua doesn¡¯t cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll, there might be a slim chance for him to achieve Nascent Soul Formation, but if he focuses on this Divinity Transformation cultivation technique, he might only reach Core Formation.


    ¡°As for the two of you, I won¡¯t offer much advice. After all, after establishing the foundation of Pure Yang Scroll, if you feel the breakthrough is difficult, you can always switch to other cultivation techniques like Scorching Heaven Cultivation derived from this Divinity Transformation.¡±


    Upon hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, both Yunyang Bing and Ming Yuhua clenched their fists, their faces brimming with excitement.


    ¡°As for you¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai became nervous when he saw Che Yucheng turning towards him.


    He had already invested so much in the Pure Yang Scroll. He didn¡¯t want his opportunity to be shot down just because of this one deduction result with the puppet.


    ¡°Your Spirit Root is slightly mediocre. If you want to progress further in your cultivation path, indeed, you need the Pure Yang Daoist Body for transformation. Go for it.¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s gentle and encouraging words touched Chen Mobai deeply.


    Indeed, enrolling in the Daoist Academy was the best decision of his life.


    ¡°Alright, next, you recognize the Faceless Puppets that deduced your situations.¡±


    After encouraging Chen Mobai, Che Yucheng spoke to the other dozen students.


    ¡°Although this seems simple, in reality, it is as valuable as a top-tier, Rank-3 magic artifact. If you damage it, in blunt terms, a lifetime of your labor serving the academy would not suffice to compensate for it.¡±


    ¡°The Faceless Puppets are the pinnacle creation of Puppetry Technique fused with modern Bionics. Every time it is activated, it requires charging for half a year before it can be used again.¡±


    ¡°Since you¡¯ve used up thirteen Faceless Puppets, you should take responsibility for replenishing the spiritual energy in the Puppet¡¯s core that¡¯s been depleted. You have no objections to that, right?¡±


    The absence of Zhongli Tianyu resulted in one of the prepared fourteen Faceless Puppets remaining unactivated.


    Che Yucheng picked up the puppet, opened a mechanism on its head, and the faceless head immediately split to the sides, revealing the puppet¡¯s core.


    Within the Puppet¡¯s head, a dense network of thin wires were visible. Surprisingly, its power source was a spirit stone.


    When Chen Mobai and the others followed Che Yucheng¡¯s instructions to open the skull of their own Faceless Puppet, they found that the spiritual energy within the spirit stone of their Puppet had already been exhausted in the previous deduction.


    ¡°Teacher Che, we haven¡¯t learned how to recharge the Spirit Stone?¡±


    One of the students raised his hand with a bitter face.


    ¡°Follow me.¡±


    The crowd immediately followed Che Yucheng, who had left the lab and arrived at the adjacent Charging Room.


    As directed, they carefully placed their Faceless Puppets on specialized stands and plugged one end of a wire into a slot of these reusable Spirit Stones.


    The other end of the wire was a plug socket, which was inserted into the wall¡¯s spiritual energy outlet.


    ¡°The Faceless Puppet can only be charged for four hours a day, and will automatically disconnect when the time is up. Therefore, you need to come and reconnect it every day.¡±


    So, refilling a Spirit Stone is actually this simple!


    Chen Mobai felt like he had seen the world anew today.


    ¡°Teacher Che, how long does it take to fully charge a Spirit Stone?¡±


    Yunyang Bing asked.


    ¡°Half a year. But the academy only requires you to complete it within a year.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt that something was off, what kind of spirit stone requires so long.


    He took a closer look and despite the spiritual energy being exhausted, he, due to his long experience with Spirit Stones, noticed something.


    It was actually an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone.


    In other words, one simulation with the Faceless Puppet cost about a hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones!


    Upon realizing this, he couldn¡¯t help but gasp.


    Was the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s welfare for new students this generous?


    ¡°Because you are cultivating a divinity transformation technique, the academy will take it more seriously and allow you to use the Faceless Puppet in advance.¡±


    ¡°Typically, this is only possible before Foundation Establishment or when stuck in cultivation where you would have to apply for it and wait in line.¡±


    ¡°However, having used it this time, you won¡¯t be able to apply to use it again for two years.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Having given his instructions, Che Yucheng then left the Charging Room.


    ¡°Let¡¯s make a group chat together.¡±


    Ming Yuhua, who seemed to have a lively personality, added everyone as friends and invited them all to a group chat.


    The name of the group was quite awe-inspiring.


    [Metaphysical Class]!

 Chapter 180 - Chapter 180: Open the Book_1

    Chapter 180: Open the Book_1


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°I suggest that we take turns. Only one person needs to come on a daily basis to help everyone charge their spirit energy. This way we can save time for everyone.¡±


    The first proposal put forth by the small group was unanimously accepted.


    Ming Yuhua, who also agreed to this proposition, was elected as the temporary spokesman for the Metaphysical Class.


    He seemed to be quite happy and immediately stated that he would be the one to assist everyone in charging their spirit energy the next day.


    After leaving Building Number One at the top of Crimson Mountain, everyone went out for a meal. After finishing, Ming Yuhua urged Chen Mobai and Yunyang Bing to continue the evening with him.


    ¡°Your advisor is also Master Shaoyang, right?


    When it was just the three of them, Ming Yuhua asked first.


    ¡°Correct, it is said that he has been cultivating in seclusion for ten years, trying to break through from the third level to the fourth level of Gold Core.¡±


    Yunyang Bing seemed to have inquired quite a bit and talked with a hint of worry.


    Among the Dance Tool Dao Academy, only Master Shaoyang has completed Core Formation using the Pure Yang Scroll. If they choose to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll, they can only be assigned as his students.


    ¡°I heard that Master Shaoyang has already reached the fourth level of the Gold Core, but he is still in seclusion because the cultivation of the Pure Yang Daoist Body is dragging on. I don¡¯t know if we can meet this master in our ten years at the Daoist Academy.¡±


    Ming Yuhua also wore a face of helplessness.


    ¡°In the future, let¡¯s all be brothers of the same school. Do keep in touch.¡±


    Seeing that the atmosphere had started to sink, Chen Mobai changed the topic and raised his glass. The other two immediately clinked glasses.


    ¡°By the way, what courses do you guys plan on taking?


    Ming Yuhua was the first to ask, then he continued by sharing his own plans.


    ¡°I plan to develop towards becoming an Artifact Refiner, so I will major in ¡®Artifact Refining¡¯ and ¡®Treasure Appraisal¡¯, and minor in ¡¯Spirit Material Identification¡¯, ¡®Original Ore Extraction¡¯, ¡®Metallurgical Engineering¡¯, and


    ¡¯History of Magical Instruments¡¯.¡±


    Upon hearing Ming Yuhua¡¯s choice, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but give him a thumbs up.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy offers 18 major courses and 72 minor courses.


    Among them, major courses are worth 3 credits, and minor courses are worth 2 credits.


    The academy requires each student to complete 10 credits each year.


    If Ming Yuhua enrolls in all these courses and passes all of them at the end of the term, he could earn U credits in a year, a feat could be dubbed as a super overachiever.


    Chen Mobai plans to only get 10 credits because he will also have to spend time mingling in the Divine Wood Sect. He does not have as much time for studying. ¡ö¡±Spirit Material Identification¡¯ and ¡®History of Magical Instruments¡¯ are closely related to appraisal, while ¡®Original Ore Extraction¡¯ and ¡®Metallurgical Engineering¡¯ are the basics of artifact refining. My two majors and four minors are all carefully considered. Do you guys want to join me? It¡¯ll be good company during class time.¡±


    Ming Yuhua was quite enthusiastic, but both Chen Mobai and Yunyang Bing shook their heads in refusal.


    Yun Yang Bing expressed his thoughts: ¡°I want to study formations, so I probably will choose related courses like ¡®Geology¡¯, ¡®Environmental Studies¡¯, ¡®Atmospheric Sciences¡¯, ¡®Astronomy¡¯, and ¡®Spirit Vein Studies.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai gazed at him in amazement and couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Are you planning to study ground and sky arrays simultaneously?¡±


    The method of array formation is divided into heaven, earth, and man.


    The formation is based on people, mountains and rivers, and the spirit veins, and the array formation is based on the heaven, stars, and all kinds of phenomena.


    Among them, the earth array is complicated, the sky array is vast, and the human array lies somewhere in between.


    Many people who learn array formations tend to choose one among heaven, earth, and man initially. It¡¯s only when their progress in formations hits a bottleneck that they think of learning the other two types of arrays to gain insights through analogy.


    That Yun Yang Bing would immediately take on the highest difficulty of studying both the earth and sky arrays from the get-go could only speak for his confidence that was typical of students who have been admitted into the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Old Chen, how about you?¡±


    Chen Mobai saw the other two looking at him and hesitated for a moment. He originally just planned to major in one course ¡°Inscription Symbols¡±, and then minor in related courses such as ¡°Ink and Pigments Extraction¡±, ¡°Stabilization Studies¡±, ¡°Rune Paper Manufacturing Technology¡±, ¡°Calligraphy¡±, ¡°Rune Paper Layout¡± etc., hoping to scrape by with 10 credits each year.


    But since the other two were so hardworking, he felt embarrassed to express his intention of just getting by.


    Was this the attitude of students who had been legitimately admitted to the Daoist Academy? They hadn¡¯t even started school and they were already being so competitive.


    ¡°I should be majoring in ¡®Inscription Symbols¡¯, ¡®Puppetry Technique¡¯, and for the minor courses, I¡¯ll choose two that are closely related.¡± ¡°Puppetry Technique? Why would you choose something so unpopular?¡± When they heard his words, Ming Yuhua couldn¡¯t help but look shocked. ¡°I¡¯ve loved robots and figurines since I was a kid, and if I use puppets, they can replace me in exploring some dangerous places. Plus, after seeing that amazing Faceless Puppet today, I feel that this subject has a lot of potential.¡± Chen Mobai didn¡¯t lie, he indeed took a liking to the Faceless Puppet, and wondered if he could use it to simulate his own cultivation of the Immortality Technique and the Two Phases Technique.


    In the future, he will definitely delve deeper into the Tianhe Realm. If he learns puppetry technique, he feels it will be incredibly useful.


    The more he thought about it, the better it seemed to Chen Mobai and he couldn¡¯t help but slap the table.


    ¡°Here¡¯s to the hard work we¡¯ll put in over the next ten years at the academy.¡±


    The three men drained their glasses, thus having quite a few rounds.


    ¡°Old Chen, which dorm are you in?¡±


    After finishing their meal, Ming Yuhua and Yunyang Bing noticed that Chen Mobai was walking in the opposite direction and they couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously.


    ¡°I¡¯m used to living alone, so I rented a small house outside the campus.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s also allowed?¡±


    Yunyang Bing was very intrigued upon hearing this. He also preferred quietness, and researching formations required a large area. It would be best if he had his own experiment area.


    After they parted ways, Chen Mobai returned to his wooden shack.


    He looked up to see that the lights in the villa on the mountain where Meng Huang lived were bright. It seemed she had already returned.


    After cleaning himself, he lay on the bed and took out his phone.


    After mentioning that he wanted to study puppetry technique, Chen Mobai suddenly had a brilliant idea.


    Because he didn¡¯t trust anyone in the Tianhe Realm, he was the only one who could chop the logs for business.


    Although it was very profitable and the demand at Bud Hall was high, he also had to cultivate. He had to be careful not to be discovered, and he felt a little overwhelmed.


    What if he used puppets in place of himself to chop the logs? It seems this would perfectly solve the problem.


    With this in mind, Chen Mobai became restless.


    He began to search the internet for puppets or robots that could replace manual labor.


    However, this search made him curse the crafty merchants.


    The cheapest puppet robot that can drive a Rank-1 magic artifact and recognize simple commands was almost 100,000 Good Deed Points.


    It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t have that much money, but the thought of investing so much all at once made Chen Mobai feel reluctant.


    He couldn¡¯t understand why the puppets were so expensive.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Unable to hold himself back, he directly sought consultation from the shop. After chatting, he found out that it¡¯s because he had added the keyword ¡°recognizable commands¡± to his search.


    The puppet robots were not expensive, but those capable of recognizing commands contained artificial intelligence core chips. These components were integrated onto spirit stones, and they were definitely not cheap.


    So, it¡¯s the spirit stones that are expensive!


    Chen Mobai understood.


    But after understanding, he felt it was even less worth it..

 Chapter 181 - Chapter 181: Arrangementl

    Chapter 181: Arrangementl


    Translator: 549690339


    Since Chen Mobai had a good amount of Spirit Stones, he felt this puppet robot was overpriced.


    Moreover, it was easy for him to earn Spirit Stones now, but Good Deed Points were the complete opposite: the more he used, the fewer he had.


    The main point though was because Bud Hall had a limited demand for Red Sun firewood. Those willing to spend Spirit Stones to get it might only be Liu Wenbo, the Luo siblings, and Yu Lian.


    After all, most Loose Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm couldn¡¯t amass many Spirit Stones, and any small bit of resources they had they would immediately use to exchange for Magic Artifacts or talismans that could enhance their combat capability.


    After working hard for a while to earn Spirit Stones from these four people, Chen Mobai reckoned he could stop the firewood business.


    After doing the calculations for the potential profit, he felt that spending one hundred thousand Good Deed Points to purchase a log-chopping puppet was not worthwhile.


    He further looked up the ¡°Formless Puppet¡±.


    However, there was no such thing directly shown on the Immortal Gate network.


    As expected of the peak work of Puppetry Technique, there was actually none available on the market.


    That night.


    After teleporting back to Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai barely showed his face before he was approached by Yu Lian.


    ¡°Sell the Red Sun firewood to me next time.¡±


    His tone was calm, but it didn¡¯t allow for objections, making Chen Mobai frown.


    What¡¯s with these cultivators at Tianhe Realm being so aggressive?


    At the slightest inconvenience, they began to show their displeasure.


    Both Luo Yixiu and Yu Lian acted this way.


    ¡°It depends on whether or not that senior still needs to chop firewood for sword training.¡±


    Chen Mobai said leisurely, but Yu Lian just took out a bag of Spirit Stones and walked away without a word.


    ¡°We don¡¯t need a deposit here.¡±


    He took the Spirit Stone Bag to the door, but Yu Lian had already disappeared without a trace.


    Chen Mobai was somewhat bewildered by his forceful acquisition behaviour. He weighed the bag in his hands and was slightly taken aback.


    There were actually one hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    According to market price where 500 pieces of Red Sun firewood equal one Spirit Stone, this bag could buy a total of fifty thousand pieces. This was practically double the price.


    Was the small sect that Yu Lian inherited really that rich?


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t figure it out. Back at Green Light Island, Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin, both of whom were the direct disciples of a small sect, were also together worth just one Flying Sword.


    Could it be that Yu Lian was a main character and had some other opportunity?


    Just as he was deep in thought, a girl in palace attire with smooth white skin came to his door.


    ¡°Is Brother Chen here? Luo Yixuan pays her respects.¡±


    The door isn¡¯t closed, you can see me directly from the entrance, why are you asking if I¡¯m here?


    Chen Mobai was somewhat speechless at Luo Yixuan¡¯s actions. Perhaps it¡¯s some kind of sect tradition.


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    After Luo Yixuan sat down, she first apologized for what happened with Luo Yixiu before and then got straight to the point. She also wanted to buy enough Red Sun firewood for her and her brother to use over the next couple of months.


    ¡°Not to hide from you, but Yu Lian just dropped off this big bag of Spirit Stones and has already reserved the next thirty thousand Red Sun firewood from that senior. You guys may have to wait until he¡¯s done.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai really didn¡¯t like the strong purchase approach, with this heavy bag of Spirit Stones in his hand, he chose to forgive Yu Lian.


    One simply can¡¯t bear grudges against Spirit Stones.


    ¡°Brother Chen, you can look at our price first.¡±


    Luo Yixuan also took out a bag of Spirit Stones with a smile. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t take it, but by the look of its bulging shape, he estimated it to be around a hundred as well.


    ¡°Junior Sister, there is always a first-come, first-serve rule.¡±


    He still wanted to hold back a bit, after all, he was a principled merchant.


    ¡°Brother Chen, you can totally be fair and square with everyone, just like with Brother Liu, give us each ten thousand Red Sun firewood first. For the rest, within a month¡¯s time, I believe Brother Chen should be able to gather the quantity slowly.¡±


    What Luo Yixuan said struck a chord with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Junior sister makes a fair point.¡±


    It was simple once he took it to heart.


    After Chen Mobai received Luo Yixuan¡¯s Spirit Stone Bag, he personally saw his junior sister out of the room, then enthusiastically went out to cut firewood.


    But this time, to his surprise, as many as twelve people followed him out.


    Twisting and turning the whole way, when he was close to the tree hole where he hid his electric saw, six people were still tailing him.


    Chen Mobai, however, wasn¡¯t blinded by the Spirit Stones and chose to give up. He retraced his steps back to Bud Hall.


    ¡°Senior brother Chen.¡±


    Liu Wenbo greeted him at the entrance.


    ¡°That elder didn¡¯t come out to cut firewood today.¡±


    Chen Mobai misunderstood, thinking that Liu Wenbo also wanted to buy the Red Sun Wood logs.


    ¡°This is my tribute to that elder, please help me pass it on.¡±


    Liu Wenbo handed over a bag of Spirit Stones to Chen Mobai, who measured it and found it to be a hundred stones as well.


    But after hearing his words, Chen Mobai finally realized why both Yu Lian and Luo Yixuan were so willing to part with them.


    Turns out, in their minds, these Spirit Stones weren¡¯t for him, but for the elder he made up who cuts firewood.


    ¡°I¡¯ll accept these three on behalf of the elder, but you don¡¯t need to give yours.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai liked Spirit Stones, he was unwilling to accept Liu Wenbo¡¯s, as he still remembered the favor of receiving the Immortality Scripture from the latter.


    Liu Wenbo wanted to say more, but Chen Mobai had already knocked on Yuan Chiye¡¯s door.


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai enter Yuan Chiye¡¯s room, Liu Wenbo could only take his bag of Spirit Stones and leave.


    ¡°What elder have you met? Why am I not that lucky?¡±


    Yuan Chiye sounded rather sour when he saw Chen Mobai enter.


    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯m poorer.¡±


    Chen Mobai joked, then took out the bag of Spirit Stones from Yu Lian and placed it in front of Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Although Yuan Chiye was heavily in debt to exchange for the Foundation Building Pill, he wasn¡¯t blinded by the bag of Spirit Stones and calmly asked.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t senior brother mention you have an extra storage bag? I¡¯ve always wanted one. Now that I have some Spirit Stones, I want to buy yours.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yuan Chiye¡¯s face revealed understanding. He laughed and took the Spirit Stone Bag.


    ¡°I keep my word, I¡¯m selling it to you for eighty Spirit Stones. There are a hundred in here, you can keep the extra twenty.¡±


    Yuan Chiye took out a palm-sized sky-blue sachet from his storage bag.


    ¡°Actually, I¡¯ll need senior brother to turn a blind eye for this twenty.¡±


    Chen Mobai received the storage bag, but instead of taking back the Spirit Stones, he said something that made Yuan Chiye narrow his eyes: ¡°Elaborate.¡±


    ¡°We work hard every day to chop the Red Sun Wood logs. What do you think, senior brother?¡±


    Although Yuan Chiye had pretended not to know when Liu Wenbo and the Luo siblings had bought the Red Sun Wood logs from the Earth Fire Hall, it wasn¡¯t clear what his attitude would be if the source of the logs was Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai felt it was necessary to smooth things over.

    Besides, he didn¡¯t know when he could break the seal on the storage bag he obtained from Green Light Island, and there might be some complications to its origins, so it was perfect to buy Yuan Chiye¡¯s bag in advance as a cover.


    ¡°You little rascal, your way of doing things truly resembles senior brother Zhou. Don¡¯t worry. Even if you didn¡¯t tell me, I wouldn¡¯t dare offend the Foundation Establishment elder and interfere.¡±


    Upon getting Yuan Chiye¡¯s confirmation, Chen Mobai felt relieved.


    In the dead of night, when he was sure no one was following him, he went out to chop firewood again.


    But this time, after he finished chopping, he could put the electric saw and table saw directly into his newly purchased storage bag, no longer worrying about exposure..

 Chapter 182 - Chapter 182 Performance Puppeti

    Chapter 182 Performance Puppeti


    Translator: 549690339


    Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.


    Chen Mobai worked hard chopping logs until he finally ended the Red Sun Wood business at Bud Hall.


    Yu Lian, Luo Yixiu, and Luo Yixuan each contributed 100 lower-grade Spirit Stones, while from Liu Wenbo, he only received the market price, netting him 50 Spirit Stones.


    Of these, too Spirit Stones were used to purchase Yuan Chiye¡¯s storage bag. Apart from what Chen Mobai already had, he now totted up a considerable sum of 280 Spirit Stones.


    After getting in good stead with Yuan Chiye, Chen Mobai handed over his share of Red Sun Wood, and immediately took two and a half months off to concentrate on the Dance Tool Dao Academy, as the pace of learning was becoming hard to keep up with.


    Chen Mobai chose ¡°Talismanic Runes¡± and ¡°Puppetry¡± as his major courses. He chose to audit ¡°Extraction of Talisman Ink and Pigment¡±, ¡°Calligraphy¡± ¡°Design and Manufacture of Spiritual Instruments and Automation¡±, and ¡¯ ¡°Agricultural Studies¡±.


    Of these, ¡°Calligraphy¡± is the basis for learning Talismanic Runes; if you want to major in Talismanic Runes, this elective must be picked up.


    ¡°Extraction of Talisman Ink and Pigment¡± was chosen as Chen Mobai considered the need for special talismanic ink in Tianhe Realm to depict talismanic runes, hence, he felt the need to learn this subject.


    ¡°Design and Manufacture of Spiritual Instruments and Automation¡± has the same basic requirements as ¡°Calligraphy¡±; it¡¯s a necessity when majoring in ¡°Puppetry¡±.


    As for ¡°Agricultural Studies¡±, Chen Mobai initially didn¡¯t plan on taking it. After all, with two majors and three electives, as long as all of them are passed, it amounts to 12 credits.


    Even if an elective is failed, there would still be 10 credits, allowing one to pass the end-of-term assessment.


    But the issue is all 13 people in the Divinity Transformation class had selected a minimum of two majors and four electives.


    The most extreme one declared three majors and six electives, and only because first-year students are only allowed to declare that many, otherwise, he would have gone for even more.


    And it¡¯s not about showing off by declaring so many electives; they genuinely have the capability.


    All those who can get into the Dance Tool Dao Academy are at least top students, and those who choose Divinity Transformation are considered the best among the best, they¡¯re all study gods.


    In order to fit in, Chen Mobai could only hold back his tears and select ¡°Agricultural Studies¡±, an elective that piqued his interest.


    Originally, he was planning to wait until the second academic year to take this elective; in future, if spare time allows, he would extend his studies to the major of ¡°Spirit Plant¡±.


    One day, he was attending the ¡°Puppetry¡± class.


    On the lecture podium, the silver-haired old man, Che Yucheng, was narrating about the origin of the formless puppets and the Method Acting Puppets.


    As everyone has distinct physical constitutions and talents, the same cultivation technique would yield diverse subtle variations when adopted by different people. To make the technique perfectly adapt to oneself, adjustments would be needed according to personal characteristics.


    However, the ones who can do this are at least Realm Masters at the Golden Core Realm stage.


    As Realm Masters are rare, it¡¯s impossible for them to customize cultivation techniques for each Qj Practitioner.


    But if it¡¯s for their own offspring or close relatives, Realm Masters occasionally do this.                                 y


    During the process of personalizing a cultivation technique for his daughter, a puppet master had a sudden burst of inspiration and created a ¡°Method Acting Puppet¡±.   6


    The puppet master made a puppet identical to his daughter¡¯s physical data, ran the cultivation technique on it, and through continuous trial and error adjustments were made repeatedly, ultimately, the perfect Qi Cultivation technique best suited to his daughter was created.


    Inspired by the Method Acting Puppet, the following generations further innovated to create the Formless Puppet, simulating the Foundation Establishment process.


    Upon this, functionalities like simulating cultivation, breaking through realms, and running cultivation techniques were added.


    Further, after the Foundation Establishment phase, a function to simulate the Golden Core Realm was reserved in the Formless Puppet.


    However, due to the limitations posed by the lack of Spirit Stones, this has not developed to that stage yet.


    But yet, the Formless Puppet which has attained this much has been hailed as the crowning achievement of Puppetry Technique.


    Halfway through listening, Chen Mobai¡¯s mind was just filled with the idea of ¡°Method Acting Puppets¡±.


    He recently started cultivating the Longevity Technique, but due to the lack of conditions on this side from the Earth Star, the transition to the new technique was difficult, and he had not even managed to make a start. This led Chen Mobai to contemplate dropping the Two-phased Techniques, focusing solely on Pure Yang Scroll.


    However, the progress of Pure Yang Scroll was also slow, which caused him great vexation.


    After class, Chen Mobai immediately rushed over to Che Yucheng to inquire if there were ¡°Method Acting Puppets¡± that he could apply for use in the academy.


    ¡°These are required to be custom-made; you can¡¯t use the Method Acting Puppets in the academy.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s face was filled with disappointment.


    ¡°However, I have a student who has a few replicas of the Formless Puppet on hand, which also wield the function of a Method Acting Puppet; as long as your body model data is inputted into it, the effect would be almost similar to a Method Acting Puppet.¡±


    Che Yucheng gave Chen Mobai a phone number and advised him to get in contact himself.


    This senior¡¯s name was Chai Lun!


    He was a year eight student from the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Because the creation and maintaining of puppets require a considerable investment, he opened an online shop to sell his own work and work from fellow puppetry major students.


    As the Formless Puppet was considered as the crowning achievement of Puppetry Study, it became the graduation challenge for many students in Puppetry Studies.


    Chai Lun had three replicas bequeathed by graduates.


    Although not as effective as the original Formless Puppets, they were more than adequate as Method Acting Puppets.


    Chen Mobai was very interested.


    He then asked about the price.


    Chai Lun said they could either be rented, being rather affordable at 10,000


    Good Deed Points a use, or bought outright.


    The price for outright purchase was high, indeed; it was a whopping 500,000 Good Deed Points.


    As Chen Mobai was unsure of how effectively these replicas worked compared to the Formless Puppets, he wanted to have a look in person, preferably with a trial.


    Chai Lun naturally welcomed this.


    He rented a warehouse outside the academy as a workshop and happened to be heading over that day.


    upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately asked him for the address.


    ¡°You seem to be quite in a hurry.¡±


    Chai Lun, a burly giant, saw Chen Mobai waiting at the entrance to the warehouse when he arrived.


    ¡°I have many queries during my recent cultivation process. The slow progress


    in transitioning to Pure Yang Scroll also weighs on my mind.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked helpless, but it was true.


    Hearing that he had chosen to cultivate Pure Yang Scroll, Chai Lun gave him a thumbs up in admiration.


    ¡°I have three here, two are for refining fire attribute cultivation techniques, one is for refining wood attribute cultivation techniques. The prices are all the same. I presume you need one for fire techniques?¡±


    After entering the warehouse, Chai Lun pointed towards three life-sized cyclopean puppets hanging on the wail.


    ¡°Huh, why is there only one set of number wheels?¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered that the Formless Puppet had digital rotary switches in both its left and right eyes.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°These three graduates, despite being naturally talented, still can¡¯t compare to Master Che. That they¡¯ve been able to replicate to this extent is already quite commendable.¡±


    Chai Lun explained with a wry smile when he heard Chen Mobai¡¯s question.


    The number wheel in the left eye of the Formless Puppet can simulate the cultivation of nine levels of Qi Cultivation, and the right eye wheel represents the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Originally, there should also be a number wheel on the forehead that represents the Golden Core Realm.


    However, here in the Daoist Academy, due to the lack of enough Spirit Stones as a power source, it¡¯s not possible to experiment with the function of the Formless Puppet theoretically simulating the Golden Core stage, and cultivation thereafter..

 Chapter 183 - Chapter 183: Custom Made l

    Chapter 183: Custom Made l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Was the Formless Puppet made by Teacher Che Yucheng?¡±


    Chen Mobai managed to seize the key point in Chai Lun¡¯s words.


    ¡°The theory was developed in collaboration by Teacher Che and Master Xin Ji from Jumang Daoist Academy. Unfortunately, Master Xin Ji passed away twenty years ago. Since then, Teacher Che has stopped making Formless Puppets.¡±


    ¡°So, it can¡¯t be purchased elsewhere.¡±


    ¡°With Teacher Che not making them anymore, the remaining thirty-six pieces are absolutely precious.¡±


    There are only thirty-six Formless Puppets in the entire sect; Dance Tool Dao Academy has eighteen, and Che Yucheng has also given eighteen to Jumang Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t Kunpeng Daoist Institute and Repairing Heaven Institute have any?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked surprised. Could the Formless Puppet be a privilege solely enjoyed by their two Daoist Academies?


    ¡°They do have it. Teacher Che publicly shared the manufacturing method of the Formless Puppet. Kunpeng Daoist Institute and Repairing Heaven Institute have masters in Puppetry Technique and have made puppets with similar functions, but they refer to them as ¡®Unlimited Puppets¡¯.¡±


    ¡°What about the top ten academies?¡± Chen Mobai asked again.


    ¡°They probably don¡¯t have it. Anyway, Pure Yang Academy applies to borrow Formless Puppets from our academy every year.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt that his decision to enroll in the Daoist Academy was absolutely correct.


    There would be no such benefits if he had gone to the Academy.


    ¡°These three can only simulate up to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and cannot simulate the Foundation Establishment process. That¡¯s why they are so cheap.¡±


    Chai Lun began to introduce the three one-eyed puppets hanging on the wall.


    ¡°If I use it many times, can I get a discount?¡±


    While Chen Mobai was certain he could not afford to buy it, he still found the price of ten thousand Good Deed points per use to be somewhat expensive.


    ¡°Each use drains the spirit stone completely. Even though it uses only lower-grade spirit stones, my device for energizing is crude, and combined with the mediocre level of Spirit Vein here, recharging takes a month. The price of ten thousand per use is already at cost.¡±


    Chai Lun shook his head, refusing to discount the price.


    ¡°Can this Formless Puppet imitation complete the simulation of all my Qi Cultivation techniques and identify all the problems and difficulties?¡±


    If this were the case, Chen Mobai would decide to grit his teeth and rent it twice, even if the function for the ¡®Union of Differences¡¯ could not be used for simulation.


    ¡°Junior brother, let me be frank with you. The current result of the Formless Puppet imitation simulation is definitely the most suitable for you,¡±


    ¡°But everyone changes every moment. For example, we cultivators, every time we break through a realm, it is actually a process of evolution and transformation. At that time, it would be best to adjust the previous simulation results.¡±


    ¡°Generally, it is recommended to update your body model data and redo the simulation every time you break through a minor realm. For your case, it may be better to custom-make a simulation puppet.¡±


    Since Chen Mobai was his own junior, and also introduced by Professor Che Yucheng, Chai Lun advised him sincerely.


    ¡°How many Good Deed points are needed to custom-make a simulation puppet?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s cheap, only two hundred thousand Good Deed points.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai was left speechless for a moment.


    Is this price considered cheap?


    However, having attended several puppet-related courses these days, he knew this technology required such a large investment.


    Each puppet is equivalent to a collection of large Magic Artifact components, precise and intricate.


    Moreover, simulation puppets are custom-made, many parts need to be handcrafted, which is a huge waste of time.


    Chen Mobai checked the money on his card. After his various expenses, the two hundred thousand given by Shen Juanxiu was left with slightly more than one hundred and ninety thousand. He just couldn¡¯t afford to pay the full amount. ¡°Could you lower the price a bit? I can install the Puppet Power Source myself. You just need to reserve a slot for the Spirit Stone.¡±


    Hearing this, Chai Lun did not express any doubt.


    After all, Chen Mobai was a new student of the Puppet Department of Dance Tool Dao Academy and had attended quite a few of Che Yucheng¡¯s classes. As a budding prodigy, he had enough time to master the basics of Puppetry Technique.


    ¡°In this case, one hundred and ninety thousand Good Deed Points.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Stone recharging device also doesn¡¯t need matching, I have an old set, I can install it myself.¡±


    Chen Mobai had no intention to use the sect¡¯s Spirit Stone that required repeated recharging, but to use the ores from the Tianhe realm directly, especially since he had earned quite a bit from chopping logs recently.


    Upon hearing this, Chai Lun slightly twitched at the corner of his mouth, but still lowered the price a bit.


    ¡°One hundred and eighty-five thousand.¡±


    ¡°I will maintain it myself afterwards, after-sales service is not needed.¡±


    ¡°Fixed price, one hundred and eighty thousand Good Deed Points, junior brother, this is really the final price.¡±


    After calculating in his mind, once Chai Lun was sure he could earn a considerable profit with the expected value, he also gave his final bottom price. ¡°Alright, when can this simulation puppet be delivered?¡±


    Chen Mobai took the deal, primarily because he was urgently concerned about his own cultivation.


    During this period, Ming Yuhua had begun the Transfer to Pure Yang Scroll and had made some progress. Two people in the Metaphysical Class who chose to cultivate ¡°The Union of Differences¡± had also sensed their respective Fate-match items.


    ¡°It might take a month. One of the partners in our workshop graduated last year, and another junior is at a crucial moment of breaking through the realm and can¡¯t leave. We are short-handed.¡±


    Chai Lun wanted to extend the delivery time in the contract, but Chen Mobai was in a hurry.


    ¡°Could it be faster?¡±


    ¡°That would be impossible, but I will try to finish it a few days in advance.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai could only nod in agreement. Soon after, Chai Lun immediately printed up a custom-order contract.


    Since it was a personal custom-order, an 80% down payment was required.


    For his cultivation, Chen Mobai was willing to invest a big sum.


    After signing the contract, he immediately transferred the Good Deed Points to Chai Lun. Upon receiving the money, Chai Lun was enthusiastic about taking Chen Mobai for a full body examination at the hospital to collect body model data.


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen the Soulful Mirror before, Teacher Che has my data, you can ask him for it.¡±


    Medical examinations cost money too. Chen Mobai wanted to save wherever he could.


    Chai Lun thought that made sense too. The data captured by the Soulful Mirror was definitely more accurate than that of the hospital.


    Professor Che Yucheng had given Chen Mobai a call before, and he saved it.


    After explaining the situation to Che Yucheng, the latter was very understanding. However, he insisted that Chen Mobai himself come over to write an application, and this data could only be handed over to him personally.


    Chai Lun didn¡¯t have much else going on, so he went with Chen Mobai. Before leaving, he also bought a basket of Spirit Fruits. After all, this business deal was introduced by this particular teacher.


    ¡°Take good care of it. Don¡¯t lose it.¡±


    In the office at No. 1 Building, Chen Mobai wrote the application. Che Yucheng took out a flash drive that had been prepared from his drawer.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Che.¡±

    Che Yucheng nodded, then suddenly asked Chai Lun a question.


    ¡°Gan Tao graduated. Your workshop should be short-handed, right.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, Teacher Che.¡±


    Chai Lun, unsure why Che Yucheng had asked this, still responded respectfully.


    ¡°He is making his own simulation puppet. You can mentor him..¡±

 Chapter 184 - Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Recognition !

    Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Recognition !


    Translator: 549690339


    Hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s suggestion, Chai Lun¡¯s mouth fell open, a hint of bitterness in his gaze, and he wanted to refute.


    ¡°Teacher Che, making puppets is most time-consuming. Little Chen has just started first year and has a busy course load. I can¡¯t let this affect his studies. Although he is also a new student specializing in puppet lines, he only has theoretical knowledge at the moment. The actual production, assembly, and even debugging tasks require a lot of hands-on experience¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m simply suggesting.¡±


    Che Yucheng replied with a smile. Although Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand why he suggested he should help, he knew that the director of the academy¡¯s education system would never harm him and nodded immediately in agreement.


    ¡°I can help for free. This is a rare internship opportunity. Plus, since I am the sample for the humanoid puppet, having me on the side should speed up the production process, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai assumed that Chai Lun was reluctant to lower the price if he helped, so he immediately spoke up.


    ¡°Since Little Chen doesn¡¯t have any objections, you can take him along.¡±


    Che Yucheng gently spoke. If it were anyone else, Chai Lun would not have agreed, but because it was Che Yucheng speaking¡­


    ¡°Alright then.¡±


    In the end, he could only helplessly nod in agreement.


    Now Chai Lun understood why Che Yucheng had referred this business to him ¨C to teach Chen Mobai.


    He understood the hardships of teaching novices, especially ones new to puppetry techniques. For the novice to master it properly, at least a year or two of hard grinding is required.


    Puppetry technique within the Dance Tool Dao Academy is an unpopular major, hence why Che Yucheng is willing to guide every student who is willing to learn this craft.


    ¡°My temperament isn¡¯t great while I¡¯m working. If you can¡¯t stand it, feel free not to come.¡±


    After they left the first block, Chai Lun abruptly said.


    Chen Mobai voiced that it wouldn¡¯t be a problem.


    However, he regretted it a bit the next day.


    Chai Lun¡¯s temper is more than problematic, when he¡¯s making puppets, it¡¯s like he¡¯s a completely different person.


    The originally polite and gentle man transforms into a fanatic. Chen Mobai¡¯s work had a deviation of just half a millimeter, which led to a half-hour rant from Chai Lun.


    ¡°Do you know that a life-size puppet is composed of a minimum of 12,000 parts?¡±


    Chen Mobai did indeed know, as he had learned about it in class.


    ¡°So, if every part deviates by half a millimeter, what would this humanoid puppet you¡¯re assembling end up looking like in the end?¡±


    When Chai Lun said this, Chen Mobai gave it a thought, scratching his head.


    ¡°Maybe, probably¡­ it would turn into a slightly fatter version of myself.¡±


    ¡°Slightly fatter!¡± Chai Lun¡¯s voice suddenly rose by five tones, then he continued his rant, ¡°More than slightly fatter, I tell you, the final result would be a deformed monstrosity. Any performance would deviate, and eventually, if one were to lose control and die in the Cultivation Room, it would all be because of this part you made that was half a millimeter too large¡­¡±


    After ranting, Chai Lun snatched the tool in Chen Mobai¡¯s hand, pointed to a small stool in the corner with a look of revulsion.


    ¡°Just sit there and rest, don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll consider you the supervisor, don¡¯t add to the chaos.¡±


    Chen Mobai was also annoyed. He was a novice, and it was normal to make mistakes the first time, couldn¡¯t Chai Lun simply teach him?.


    However, once settled on the little stool, after observing Chai Lun¡¯s movements for a while, he realized that he needed to learn from his dedication to every single part.


    Even when a part was seemingly perfect, if the spiritual power it transmitted was half a second slower than usual during testing, Chai Lun would remake it three times until the data showed no deviation.


    Chen Mobai, who originally planned to watch for a while and then leave, unconsciously stayed till it was nighttime.


    As Chai Lun was about to turn off the lights to leave, he saw the takeaway box on the table and was startled.


    ¡°I saw you hadn¡¯t eaten, so I ordered some for you.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Chai Lun vaguely felt that having another person in the studio wasn¡¯t entirely a bad thing.


    At least someone could help order takeaway.


    After eating, the two of them exited the studio.


    The next day, Chen Mobai attended his main class in the morning, and two electives in the afternoon, before rushing back to the studio.


    Chai Lun was already there, holding the blueprint of a finished right index finger, comparing it with Chen Mobai¡¯s body data model, checking for adjustments.


    When Chen Mobai arrived, Chai Lun glanced at him, and pointed to the little stool in the corner.


    Seeing the warning in his senior¡¯s eyes, Chen Mobai who wanted to showcase his skills, could only obediently sit down.


    At this moment he finally understood why Chai Lun looked so bitter when Che Yucheng mentioned that he should mentor him.


    It¡¯s genuinely hard to master puppetry techniques.


    Without someone leading, even if he wasted lots of materials, there was no guarantee he could learn the basics.


    After delivering takeout for seven days straight, Chen Mobai finally got a chance to help.


    Some materials Chai Lun ordered had arrived, Chen Mobai was asked to sign and bring them into the studio.


    Once inside, it was certain that he had to break things apart. Some had been covered in class, such as the mana flexible pipes that replaced the meridians, organic synthetic material replacing the bones, and the gears within the joints. But others hadn¡¯t been covered yet, such as a square green piece the size of a fist, engraved with countless array prohibitions, which made Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes cross, and he couldn¡¯t figure it out.


    He had to modestly ask for guidance: ¡°What¡¯s this, senior?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s the central controller. This is the most expensive thing. The ones produced by the Repairing Heaven Institute are the best quality.¡±


    After periods of take-away deliveries, as long as Chai Lun wasn¡¯t agitated, he¡¯d give detailed explanations to Chen Mobai¡¯s questions.


    After all, it was a junior asked to be looked after by Che Yucheng.


    Once Chen Mobai knew the name, he immediately researched related content online.


    Turns out that this tiny square controlled the entire puppet. It embodies the essence of puppetry techniques used by the immortals and the price accounts for more than half the cost of the puppet.

    The production of Chen Mobai¡¯s puppet gradually began under the guidance of experienced hands like Chai Lun.


    Half a month later, it seemed as if Chai Lun had forgotten about before and he allowed Chen Mobai to begin filing parts again.


    This time, Chen Mobai was completely respectful, following the blueprint precisely down to the millimeter.


    Even still, after checking, Chai Lun found three flaws. However, he didn¡¯t rant this time. Once Chen Mobai produced a piece that satisfied him, he gave Chen Mobai twenty more part blueprints to work on.


    The moment Chen Mobai received the blueprints, he felt a sense of recognition. This made him happier than when he ranked in the top three for the monthly puppetry technique exam..

 Chapter 185 - Chapter 185: Chapter 185: The Sleeper_l

    Chapter 185: Chapter 185: The Sleeper_l


    Translator: 549690339


    In the classroom of the Talisman course, Chen Mobai was sitting in a corner by the window, feeling a little distracted.


    After the class bell rang, the teacher placed a stack of corrected talismans on the rostrum, then began to announce the grades.


    ¡°The first place in this Qi Absorbing Talisman test goes to Zhuang Jialan.¡± The bespectacled woman sitting in the front row stood up and claimed her submitted talisman when her name was called.


    When she turned around, Chen Mobai glanced at her briefly.


    She was quite pretty.


    Dainty nose, dimples formed by her light smile, exquisite skin as clear as jade, and spectacles, along with eyebrows specially drawn for a gentle and charming look, she looked demure but exuding an aura of innocence.


    ¡°Second place, Si Guanyu.¡±


    The next one to go up was another of the top students in their grade majoring


    in talismans.


    There are gains and there are losses. Thanks to the tutoring he received from Chai Lun, Chen Mobai consistently ranked in the top three in the Puppet Lines course. His practical assembly lessons have consecutively ranked first seven times, earning him the reputation of a budding prodigy in puppetry.


    However, the flip side of this was that because he didn¡¯t invest much energy in his other major-the talismans course-and coupled with the fact that his talent for drawing talismans was quite average, he¡¯d been consistently among the last since the beginning of the semester.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for the three who came in through the backdoor and always ranking last, Chen Mobai would have been the last in this year¡¯s class.


    ¡°Twenty-third place, Chen Mobai.¡±


    Upon hearing his name, he hurriedly went up and collected the ¡°Qi Absorbing Talisman¡± he had drawn from the teacher.


    This is a Rank-1 superior talisman. Using it can guide spiritual energy to a specific location. It¡¯s typically used during meditation. One would place it on a mat to assist with cultivation.


    At a lower level, it was capable of enhancing one¡¯s spiritual energy level by a small stage.


    Because Chen Mobai had a good foundation during his time at the Cinnabarite Institute, he was able to keep up with the progress of the talisman course at Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    This ¡°Qi Absorbing Talisman¡± was fairly standard, and the instructor gave him


    a passing score of 60 points.


    Just as he was about to leave having collected his work, the teacher called him back.


    The teacher was Gao Yu. Though he was only at the Foundation Establishment level, he was a Rank-3 Talisman Maker. In terms of his achievements in talismans, he could be called an expert among immortals.


    He glanced at Chen Mobai and spoke with a tone of disappointment.


    ¡°1 know you¡¯re obsessed with puppetry, but you must know that the real major way lies in the talismans.¡±


    ¡°You are a smart boy, you got into the Daoist Academy on your own merit and have made some progress in the unpopular puppetry technique. Of course, your talents are inarguable. But I hope you would spend more time on the study of talismans.¡±


    ¡°The pinnacle of puppetry in the immortal field is only the peak of Rank-3. In contrast, the talismans passed down in our Daoist traditions can achieve up to Rank-5, capable of moving the stars and the moon. It¡¯s far more than what a mere puppet can achieve.¡±


    Chen Mobai could only lower his head and agree. He couldn¡¯t very well say that it wasn¡¯t because he wasn¡¯t trying hard, but that this was his actual talent limit.


    This Qi Absorbing Talisman was the best result he chose after drawing a hundred of them. If it were back in Tianhe Realm, it would already be considered a fine product.


    Little did he know that in the first-grade class of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, all it was worth was a passing grade.


    Because his fame was rising in the Puppet Lines course, everyone attributed his poor performance in the Talisman course to his lack of dedication, instead of his lack of talent.


    Everyone thought he was engrossed in puppetry and chose the Talisman course out of perfunctory intent, and only studied it during class, never practicing afterwards.


    Even so, his grades were able to keep up with the majority of the class, and he understood all the basic knowledge points.


    Both Teacher Gao Yu and the rest of the class believed that as long as Chen Mobai focused on the talisman course, his grades could soar at any time, and he might even surpass Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan, the two geniuses.


    It is for this reason that despite consistently ranking amongst the last in the Talisman course, no one dared to look down on Chen Mobai.


    Some people even gave him a nickname.


    The Sleeper.


    After receiving his criticism, Chen Mobai returned to his seat in a daze, unaware of the thoughtful gazes from the two top students in the class.


    Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu consistently ranked first and second in the Talisman course, but while they were competing against each other, they were also keeping an eye on Chen Mobai.


    They even believed that it was the pressure of this sleeper who could wake up at any time that allowed them to progress so quickly.


    They wanted to use this time to elevate themselves to a level that even if Chen Mobai decided to focus on talismans, he would not be able to catch up.


    But all of Chen Mobai¡¯s attention was now focused on the Practise Puppet that was about to be completed.


    After labouring for twenty-five days, only final assembly, uploading his data model, and adjusting the features were left under Chen Mobai¡¯s careful assistance.


    Finally, the day was here.


    Chen Mobai had had enough of his slowly progressing Longevity Sutra technique.


    After class, even though he was still feeling a little dazed, he quickly gathered up his textbooks, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and bolted out of the classroom.


    Both top students, who had wanted to exchange a few words with him, couldn¡¯t help but look at each other in surprise.


    ¡°Honestly, I wanted to ask him for this month¡¯s class fee.


    Zhuang Jialan stomped her foot a little annoyed as she watched Chen Mobai¡¯s retreating figure.


    ¡°Let¡¯s front him the money for now.¡±


    Si Guanyu, a boy who was as mild-natured as his name implied, also served as an officer along Zhuang Jialan. They were like unofficial spokespeople for the Talisman class of new students of this batch.


    Chen Mobai had absolutely no idea about all this. As soon as he arrived at Chai Lun¡¯s workshop, he skillfully picked up a wrench and helped the latter assemble the last limbs and head of the Practise Puppet.


    Time quickly passed as he focused all his attention on the task.


    Unbeknownst to him, the sky has already darkened outside, and the Practise Puppet had reached its final step.


    ¡°I will demonstrate this once so you can adjust it later when there is a problem.¡±


    Chai Lun placed the assembled faceless puppet onto a cleared partition, then took out a U-disk containing Chen Mobai¡¯s body data and inserted it into the left slot.


    The Practise Puppet still had its head open, with wires extending from the central controller linked to a twenty-centimeter-square screen.


    Chai Lun¡¯s fingers moved so swiftly they left afterimages. He quickly completed the data transfer.


    Then, he instructed Chen Mobai to input the Qi Cultivation technique from the Pure Yang Scroll and started the first debugging.

    The result was perfect.


    The half-hour-long practising technique showed all the potential problems Chen Mobai might encounter during the process on the screen.


    For example, when reaching Qi Cultivation stage six, the two meridians in the left hand were not strong enough. Before the breakthrough, a need for nurture and expansion is needed, which can then enable the condition to break through to Qi Cultivation stage seven in one go.


    Then there was the shortest, and longest time it takes to complete the Three Yang Body. He could set his own conditions to change within this range. With Chai Lun there, Chen Mobai did not dare to set the condition for full spiritual stone cultivation, which could substantially reduce the time taken. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard during this period, senior.¡±


    After practicing the Pure Yang Scroll once and confirming there were no issues, Chen Mobai was excited. He thanked Chai Lun and paid the remaining balance. As Chai Lun watched Chen Mobai carry the Practise Puppet away, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes..

 Chapter 186 - Chapter 186: Chapter 186: The Performance Method 1

    Chapter 186: Chapter 186: The Performance Method 1


    Translator: 549690339                    ¡ª


    Inside the wooden hut.


    Chen Mobai opened the puppet¡¯s head, inserted a Spirit Stone, and then initiated the cultivation simulation of the Longevity Sutra.


    A series of code flashed across the screen embedded on the forehead, which then transformed into an information stream flowing from the central controller to the whole body.


    With a nervously beating heart, Chen Mobai began to watch as the simulation puppet¡¯s body turned transparent.


    Wisps of spiritual energy poured down from the Spirit Stone, simulating the cultivation scene of the Longevity Sutra, where spiritual energy was drawn in. It then passed through the twelve levels, fell into the Qi Sea in the Dantian, and was distributed along the twelve meridians to the vital points and veins throughout the body.


    When circulating to the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin, the spiritual power suddenly halted.


    Chen Mobai immediately began to observe closely. About five minutes later, the spiritual power finally painfully emerged from this meridian. But he found that compared to the initial abundance, it had lost about a third of its spiritual energy.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    He pressed the pause button, made a mark at this point, and planned to review it after the simulation.


    Then, the spiritual power reached the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand-Yangming and encountered the same problem as before. Once again, it stalled for five minutes and by the time it emerged, another third of the spiritual power had decreased.


    Chen Mobai frowned and immediately marked it again. One of the advantages of using his own invention was that he could pause whenever he wanted.


    The spiritual power flowed along the twelve meridians within the body to the Stomach Meridian of Foot-Yangming and the Spleen Meridian of Foot-Taiyin. Here, the circulation was exceptionally smooth. In fact, the power even seemed to have slightly increased when it emerged.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai had a hunch about the answer in his heart.


    According to the theory of the Five Elements Spiritual Root, the intestines and lungs contain metal. When the wood-attribute spiritual force cultivated by the Longevity Sutra passes through the meridians of these two organs, it may have been intercepted by the hidden Metal Spirit Root.


    The stomach and spleen nourish the earth, and earth nourishes wood. So when the Longevity Spiritual Power passed through the stomach and spleen meridians, it was nourished by the Earth Spirit Root, leading to some augmentation.


    To verify his hypothesis, Chen Mobai pressed the simulation button again.


    As he expected, when the Longevity Spiritual Power passed through the Heart Meridian of Hand-shaoyin, it had probably been scorched by the Fire Spirit Root, thereby losing another fifth, but the spiritual power became even purer as a result.


    Next, it passed through the Kidney Meridian of Foot-Shaoyin and the Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang, and the Wood Spiritual Power was nurtured by the Water Spirit Root, replenishing the part that had been reduced by the heat of the Fire Spirit Root.


    Finally, when the spiritual power entered the Liver Meridian of Foot-Jueyin and the Gallbladder Meridian of Foot-Shaoyang, where the Wood Spirit Root was located, it neither increased nor decreased. But Chen Mobai felt that the Longevity Spiritual Power, which was initially refined from spiritual energy, began to truly transform into his own power at this point.


    Once again, it converged into the Qi Sea in the Dantian, and the spiritual power turned into a small whirl of Qi.


    This represented the completion of one cycle of the Grand Circulation for the Longevity Sutra.


    After watching it once, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t linger. He directly fast-forwarded the simulation puppet¡¯s training cycle for all nine layers of the Longevity Sutra.


    All one can say is, expensive things have their reasons for being expensive.


    During this complete simulation, Chen Mobai discovered many small issues that he would never have considered while cultivating.


    But these small issues had become key factors hindering his cultivation progress.


    He didn¡¯t know whether there was a problem with the Longevity Sutra that Liu Wenbo had given him or if his spiritual root was not suitable for this cultivation technique.


    Compared to the slow but smooth cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll, if he cultivated following the standard route of the Longevity Sutra, it might result in a situation where he would make great efforts but achieve little.


    He would have to adjust every minor realm, and even more changes would need to be made to the cultivation paths of the beginning, middle, and end stages to make it more suitable for Chen Mobai¡¯s physique and spiritual roots.


    Being cautious by nature, Chen Mobai decided to make a trip back to the Tianhe Realm to verify his thoughts.


    After making an appearance at Bud Hall to show his existence, he went to the Book Pavilion and didn¡¯t hesitate to spend Spirit Stones to purchase the Longevity Sutra from the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, it turned out he misunderstood Liu Wenbo. The content of the two versions of the Longevity Sutra was exactly the same, except that the version from the Divine Wood Sect included some annotations and examples to make it easier for new disciples to understand.


    After returning to his wooden hut, Chen Mobai looked at the results displayed by the simulation puppet and fell into deep thought.


    After the simulation, nearly one-tenth of the content of the Longevity Sutra had to be changed in order to perfectly adapt to Chen Mobai¡¯s physique and spiritual root.


    He was eager to start cultivating according to this result, but he felt that the technique from the Divine Wood Sect, which had been passed down for hundreds of years through the Five Elements Sect, surely couldn¡¯t be wrong.


    The simulation puppet had made many changes, which made Chen Mobai somewhat uncertain.


    He didn¡¯t sleep all night.


    When Chen Mobai woke up the next day, he had already made a decision.


    Crimson Mountain, Building One.


    Che Yucheng was somewhat stunned as he watched Chen Mobai carry the simulation puppet into his office.


    ¡°You¡¯re saying, back in your hometown, you accidentally found two ancient books in a cave and found them interesting, so you decided to test them using a simulation puppet based on yourself.¡±


    Chen Mobai kept nodding. As a student, he would naturally consult his teacher when faced with a difficult decision.


    Also, over these days, Che Yucheng, the professor of the Puppet Lines, had taken good care of him, the puppetry prodigy.


    Chai Lun even said that as long as he maintained his current rate of progress, as long as he achieved Foundation Establishment, he could ask to become a ¡¯ disciple, and Che Yucheng would definitely agree to accept him.


    Consulting his future teacher about this question seemed perfectly reasonable.


    As for potentially exposing the existence of the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai had thought about it.


    But for now, he crafted a story about finding treasure in a cave, after all, there have been such miracles in the world of cultivation.


    Mainly, he had learned and seen more in the Dance Tool Dao Academy than at any other time in his life.


    He is willing to trust his teachers here.


    Che Yucheng took out a blank USB drive and skillfully copied the simulation result from the memory of the puppet Chen Mobai brought, inserted it into his own computer, and began to view it.


    At first, he was somewhat distracted, but after reading two pages, interest appeared on his old face.


    After reading the information, he closed his eyes. About ten minutes later, he slowly opened his eyes again.


    ¡°These two techniques seem a bit like a combination of the ancient evil sects


    Shrine of Life and Death¡¯ and ¡®Flower Bloom Courtyard.¡¯ Where did you get them?¡±


    ¡°From the Taixu Mountain Range¡¯s¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai made up a story about accidentally falling into a cave as a child.


    After hearing it, Che Yucheng nodded.


    ¡°Teacher Che, what are the ancient evil sects?¡±


    This was the second time Chen Mobai had heard this term. When he previously searched for the ¡°Devour God Technique,¡± the national library of the Immortal Gate also had this keyword.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The ¡°Devour God Technique¡± is a forbidden technique!


    Could all forbidden techniques originate from the ancient evil sects?


    Or, were these techniques classified as forbidden because they were from the ancient evil sects?


    ¡°Have you cultivated the Limit Techniques?¡±


    Instead of directly answering Chen Mobai¡¯s question, Che Yucheng asked something seemingly unrelated..

 Chapter 187 - Chapter 187: Chapter 187 All Included_l

    Chapter 187: Chapter 187 All Included_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°I borrowed the original from the library, but haven¡¯t had time to cultivate it.


    Chen Mobai told the truth. Given how miraculous the Edge Technique was, he had long ago incorporated it into his cultivation plan.


    However, he hasn¡¯t even achieved perfection in Qi Cultivation yet, and is far from Foundation Establishment, so there¡¯s no need to waste time on the Edge


    Technique just yet.


    ¡°The Two Phases Technique seems quite innovative, if you really want to cultivate it, I suggest you temporarily give up cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll while cultivating Qi, and focus on the Immortality Sutra.¡±


    Che Yucheng said a sentence which left Chen Mobai puzzled.


    ¡°Master Che, doesn¡¯t the Two Phases Technique require me to cultivate two mutually engendering attributes from the Five Elements? If I only cultivate the Immortality Sutra, wouldn¡¯t it be pointless?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s realm is not high enough, but Che Yucheng patiently explained to him, even taking out an Attributeless Puppet to demonstrate.


    ¡°Come, I¡¯ll show you.¡±


    As he spoke, Che Yucheng imported Chen Mobai¡¯s body data model into the Attributeless Puppet. Then, to Chen Mobai¡¯s astonishment, he simultaneously inputted the Immortality Sutra, the Two Phases Technique, and the Pure Yang Scroll.


    No one knew how Che Yucheng set it up, but the spiritual power cultivated by the Immortality Sutra and the Pure Yang Scroll interlocked within the transparent dantian Qi sea, forming a shadow of a green cyclone with a spark of flame in the middle.


    ¡°This is the Two Phases Technique simulated by the Attributeless Puppet, combining the Immortality Sutra and the Pure Yang Scroll.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly nodded his head. Although he still didn¡¯t understand Che Yucheng¡¯s meaning, it didn¡¯t stop him from pulling out his notebook and start taking notes.


    A demonstration puppet can only run one technique. Only a high-end product like the Attributeless Puppet can run three techniques simultaneously.


    However, running three techniques at the same time requires Che Yucheng s personal manipulation and cannot be fully automated.


    Then, the Attributeless Puppet started demonstrating the cultivation of the Immortality Sutra, from Qi Cultivation all the way to the ninth layer and finally attempting Foundation Establishment.


    But this time it failed.


    ¡°As I thought.¡±


    Che Yucheng seemed to have expected this result, while Chen Mobai could only take photos and take notes, recording his doubts in his heart. He¡¯d wait until the demonstration was over to ask for clarification.


    ¡°Do you know why the Foundation Establishment failed?


    But at this moment, Che Yucheng hit the pause button and began to guide him directly.


    ¡°Could it be that this technique is not compatible with my physique? Or the Immortality Sutra is problematic?¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s the other two techniques that hindered your Foundation


    Establishment.¡±


    After looking through Chen Mobai¡¯s Immortality Sutra and Two Phases Technique, Che Yucheng seemed to have a clear understanding.


    ¡°The Two Phases Technique links the Immortality Sutra and the Pure Yang


    Scroll together, and if the Pure Yang Scroll wants to establish a foundation, it needs to cultivate the Three Yang Body. The Puppet demonstrated that all the conditions for Foundation Establishment for the Immortality Sutra are met, but due to the impediment of the Three Yang Body, Foundation Establishment cannot be achieved.¡±


    At this point, Che Yucheng began to adjust the conditions again.


    Under the conditions of achieving perfection in Qi Cultivation of the Immortality Sutra, the Attributeless Puppet also brought the Pure Yang Scroll and the Three Yang Body to perfection, then simulated Foundation Establishment. Just like when the Pure Yang Scroll was run individually, it was successful.


    ¡°If you establish a foundation with any one of the techniques alone, there¡¯s more than a fifty percent chance of success.¡±


    Che Yucheng was very satisfied with this aspect of Chen Mobai, but he pointed at the screen on the head of the Attributeless Puppet, which showed the youngest age at which Foundation Establishment could be successfully achieved with the Two Phases Technique linking the Immortality Sutra and the Pure Yang Scroll.


    52!


    ¡°This is too slow. If you establish a foundation at this age, you¡¯ll only have one


    chance.¡±


    ¡°Though the Attributeless Puppet shows you have over a fifty percent chance of a successful Foundation Establishment, it¡¯s not a hundred percent. If you fail, your life is ruined.¡±


    On hearing this, realisation dawned on Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    He understood what Che Yucheng meant.


    ¡°Master, I understand, from now on I will focus on one technique.


    As for which one to focus on, he would definitely choose the Pure Yang Scroll, the broad avenue of the Immortal Sect.


    But as soon as he finished speaking, he found that Che Yucheng was shaking


    his head.


    He was wrong.


    ¡°Actually, this Immortality Sutra is quite interesting too, extending lifespan to provide more time for cultivators of the Two Phases Technique to progress and break through. But due to a lack of understanding, it¡¯s not utilised to its full potential.¡±


    ¡°Master Che, so what do you suggest?¡±


    Chen Mobai was completely confused, scratching his head. Then he saw Che Yucheng give a slight smile and start operating.


    He originally thought that running three techniques at once was the limit of the Attributeless Puppet. But Che Yucheng showed him the terrifying potential of the Attributeless Puppet, touted as the peak of the Puppetry Technique of the Immortal Sect.


    The silver-haired old man¡¯s fingers clicked continuously on the screen.


    Between the Immortality Sutra and Pure Yang Scroll, which were connected by the Two Phases Technique, he forcefully inserted another technique.


    This technique directly broke the link between the Immortality Sutra and the


    Pure Yang Scroll.


    But it did not break the Two Phases Technique.


    It was like a seal, or a lock.


    The link between the two techniques through the Two Phases Technique still existed, but it was no longer effective.


    Then the Immortality Sutra, without the perfection of both the Pure Yang Scroll and Three Yang Body, simulated a successful Foundation Establishment.


    After that, the seal of the Two Phases Technique was released. The Pure Yang Spiritual Power, which was originally rooted in the Immortality Sutra, began to constantly draw upon the Wood Spirit Power, growing rapidly to reach the level of Foundation Establishment.


    After that, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power was continuously refining and absorbing the essence of the Longevity Spiritual Power. But when it evolved to the realm above Foundation Establishment, the Spirit Stone of the Attributeless Puppet was depleted.


    After Chen Mobai watched this, he widened his eyes, remembering the question that Che Yucheng had asked at the beginning.


    His breathing began to quicken.


    ¡°Unlike you youngsters, who are limited in their abilities and choose to give up one choice when facing situations where you cannot handle two things at once, we old folks are different.¡±


    Che Yucheng said this, copying the results of the Attributeless Puppet s demonstration into a USB flash drive and handed it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°With our knowledge and abilities, we can achieve the best of both worlds.¡±


    Chen Mobai accepted the flash drive with an excited expression, bowed deeply to Che Yucheng in gratitude.


    Che Yucheng sat down in his chair, pointed at the Attributeless Puppet whose spiritual energy was depleted, and Chen Mobai nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he would come over every day to recharge it.


    Che Yucheng nodded in satisfaction, and then began to give instructions. ¡°Actually, with your talent, you are not suited for cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll. I should have advised you to quit cultivating it right after the demonstration by the Attributeless Puppet concluded. But now, it¡¯s also a good opportunity.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°You just focus on cultivating the Immortality Sutra for now. You should be able to establish a foundation around the age of thirty by following the cultivation method deduced from the demonstration by the Puppet.¡±


    ¡°You can link the Immortality Sutra and the Pure Yang Scroll with the Two Phases Technique when you reach the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, or you can do it now. Anyway, the cutoff is at age thirty. If you can master the Edge Technique before thirty and fulfill the preconditions I put forth during the Puppet¡¯s demonstration, then you can keep this seed of Pure Yang Spiritual


    Power.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, just give up the Pure Yang Scroll and concentrate on cultivating the Immortality Sutra.¡±


    ¡°Only with Foundation Establishment do you have a future..¡±

 Chapter 188 - Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Farming l

    Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Farming l


    Translator: 549690339


    After returning from Building One, Chen Mobai spent an entire night reflecting alone at home.


    In the end, he decided to fully accept Che Yucheng¡¯s guidance.


    He looked at the Qi Cultivation chapter of the Pure Yang Scroll on his phone, sighing.


    It would have to be set aside for now.


    However, the Pure Yang Daoist Body could carry on with the continuous induction of Spirit Stones.


    Once the decision was made, his cultivation progressed very smoothly.


    Chen Mobai directly converted the spiritual power vortex of Five Elements Cultivation into the spiritual power of the Endless Life Sutra, and within two short months, he had practiced the technique up to Rank-3 QI Cultivation.


    He was keen on advancing to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation in one fell swoop.


    Unfortunately, the leave of absence from the Divine Wood Sect came to an end.


    The three-month-long stint of log chopping at the Bud Hall was over, and they could choose to develop their own cave dwelling or go to one of the three Halls and twelve Divisions to deepen their studies, earning Spirit Stones and building connections in the process.


    The others were all worrying about how to get into a good department.


    Such as the Alchemy Department, the Artifact Refining Department, and the Talisman Making Department, the three hottest departments.


    As long as one could get in, even as a menial worker, the cost of purchasing necessary cultivation materials would be much cheaper, even at cost price.


    But compared to the rest who were agonizing over gains and losses, Chen Mobai was calm and collected.


    Ever since he was given advice by Che Yucheng, he had made up his mind to let go of all distractions and focus on cultivating the Endless Life Sutra, with Foundation Establishment as his primary goal.


    Joining one of the three Halls and twelve Divisions was to learn a skill and earn Spirit Stones for cultivation.


    But he was not short of ways to make money.


    As for building connections, Chen Mobai believed that as long as he became stronger, he would eventually become the one that others needed to ingratiate themselves with.


    So, he did not submit applications to any Division, and after discussing with Yuan Chiye, he claimed three mu of Spirit Field at the Spirit Plant Division of the sect.


    The Divine Wood Sect has plenty of Spiritual Lands so long as disciples are willing to cultivate them, the sect will even subsidize with Sect Contribution Points.


    Harvesting a catty of Spirit Rice yields one Sect Contribution Point.


    On average, a mu of Spirit Field matures in one year and produces one hundred catties of Spirit Rice, which is considered satisfactory.


    The following year, the sect will continue to freely entrust you with the cultivation of the Spirit Field, and you may even claim more mu to cultivate.


    Chen Mobai felt that the ¡°Agricultural Studies¡± he had chosen as an elective at Dance Tool Dao Academy, would prove to be highly rewarding here.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, living a reclusive life in the countryside is a good way of life, but sometimes, cultivation requires competition!¡±


    When packing up to leave the Bud Hall, Yuan Chiye made a point to come and see him off.


    Chen Mobai knew he always expected great things from him.


    He was a direct subordinate of E Yun, who lived up to everyone¡¯s expectations by returning to the sect two months ago, took the Foundation Building Pill, and succeeded in one fell swoop.


    After Foundation Establishment, E Yun was consolidating his realm, but probably within a year, he would be dispatched to Yun Meng Ze to reopen the market destroyed by the Demonic beasts, thereby creating a new source of revenue for the sect.


    This task would undoubtedly require a substantial number of personnel.


    Disciples like Yuan Chiye, who had been by E Yun¡¯s side from the beginning, would undoubtedly continue to follow him to Yun Meng Ze.


    Chen Mobai was originally seen as a promising force among the younger generation. After several interactions, his handling of affairs greatly satisfied Yuan Chiye, but his temperament was too indifferent. At the age of twenty, he was already thinking about retiring to a rural life.


    Still, he had spent some time nurturing him, so Yuan Chiye came over to persuade once more.


    ¡°Senior brother Yuan, for the time being, I have enough Spirit Stones and don¡¯t need to compete for more. However, I will always remember the kindness of you and senior brother E. If there is ever a need for me, please don¡¯t hesitate to ask.¡±


    Chen Mobai also knew that it was E Yun who had helped him escape from the pursuit of the South Mountain Thieves, and he remembered this life-saving grace.


    ¡°To each their own aspirations, then, take care, junior brother.¡±


    Yuan Chiye did not say more, gifting Chen Mobai a small, delicate hoe as a parting gift.


    This was a small magic artifact for weeding, and seemed to have been used by him.


    However, Chen Mobai was still extremely grateful.


    ¡°Brother Chen, keep in touch.¡±


    When he left, many new disciples from South Creek also came to see him off. Liu Wenbo was still polite and respectful.


    ¡°Disciple Liu, you handle things well. I will leave them in your hands after I go farming.¡±


    The new disciples from South Creek, during the three months when Chen Mobai was retreating, basically all found their own paths and had already left Bud Hall.


    For example, Zhuo Ming, due to her outstanding symbol-making skills, became an apprentice in a symbol shop in the sect¡¯s Fang Market. While applying to the Symbol Making Department, she was also slowly learning and improving.


    Apart from fighting, the remaining new disciples of the sect who have no other skills proficiencies, also decided to follow Liu Wenbo. The latter also chose to follow E Yun and, under his management, joined the Spirit Beasts Department.


    A year later, Liu Wenbo will be taking this group of disciples from South Creek to Yun Meng Ze to open a new market with E Yun.


    After learning about this, Chen Mobai immediately renounced his position as the leader of this generation of South Creek to fully concentrate on Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment, also to lend some help to E Yun.


    After the handover was complete, he left feeling much lighter.


    Giant Tree Ridge was sparsely populated on its vast terrain.


    With a Godspeed Talisman attached to him, Chen Mobai travelled for two hours before finally reaching the three-acre Spirit Field assigned to him by the sect.


    This Spirit Field was opened in the woodland, and Chen Mobai could still see twenty odd tree stumps in the field that had not been completely cleared away.


    The boundary was marked by a circle of Red Sun Trees that had not been cut down.


    After walking around and measuring the spiritual energy value with his phone, he found that in the very center of the Spirit Field, there was surprisingly a lower-grade Rank-2 Spirit Vein Aura.


    ¡°What a waste.¡±


    Generally, a lower-grade Rank-2 Spirit Vein could nourish a ten-acre Spirit Field, but the Divine Wood Sect had only casually opened up three acres here.


    Additionally, the previous claimant left unknowingly, and now the Spirit Field was overrun with weeds. The distribution of spiritual energy was uneven, and even some snakes and insects had taken over several spots where the spiritual energy was strong.


    Chen Mobai immediately activated the Needle box. The flying golden needles killed all the snakes and rats, and then, at the point where the spiritual power was most vigorous, he released a Wooden House Talisman.


    He was about to enter the house when he noticed the sound of buzzing mosquitoes. Swarms of them were flying out of the woods towards his wooden house.


    ¡°Just in time to test this magic artifact.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up, and he took out a pair of white jade bells strung together with a red rope from his storage bag and gently shook one of them.


    Ding ding dong dong!


    The sound waves spread out, and all these mosquitoes fell onto the Spirit Field as if they had lost their souls before they could even get close.


    After ringing six consecutive times, no more insects or mosquitoes came out of the Red Sun Forest.

    Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction, then entered the house and closed the door, returning to the Land of Yuan Star.


    The following day, after the agricultural studies course at the Dance Tool Dao Academy ended, Chen Mobai took his notebook to the teacher to ask about farming problems.


    ¡°Oh, you mean you want to plant a few small things for practice. That¡¯s excellent, come, come with me to the Daoist Academy¡¯s experimental field. I¡¯ll explain slowly there.¡±


    This teacher named Lin Wenkang was a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master.


    Seeing that Chen Mobai, a student who usually performed poorly, suddenly started working hard, he felt that his teaching had had an effect, so he enthusiastically led Chen Mobai to the classroom outside..

    Translator: 549690339 |


    In the wooden cabin, Chen Mobai was sitting on a cushion, veins throbbing on his forehead, his face a picture of pain.


    Just then, a melodious and pleasing divine sound rang from the white jade bell placed by his side, falling into his ears like heavenly music. Subsequently, his pained expression began to ease and gradually he looked as usual.


    About fifteen minutes later, Chen Mobai opened his eyes, his pupils flickered with a sharp light, slowly retracting after quite a while.


    This was a phenomenon of his divine sense breaking through again, something he was not yet able to fully control.


    ¡°The Fire Clearing Pill is indeed powerful.¡±


    Chen Mobai swayed the white jade bell in his hand, the sound of subduing God constantly ringing.


    After his breakthrough, his surging divine sense began to relax, gradually merging into the Green Paulownia seedling in his Dantian. It had already grown five leaves and there was even a bud floating on top.


    Unconsciously, Chen Mobai has left the Red Sandstone City for five months


    now.


    After receiving instruction from the best teachers in the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he had cleared all the doubts before Foundation Establishment.


    With the help of the puppet that performed magic, his cultivation of the ¡®Eternal Life Sutra¡¯ was extremely smooth. Furthermore, his original Five Elements Cultivation could transform into any Five Elements technique without hindrance. Along with the ample spiritual energy and Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, he quickly advanced to the realm of Qi Cultivation six-layer.


    If he wanted to, he could easily break through to the Qi Cultivation seven-layer with just seven days of closed-door cultivation, based on the results of the puppet performing magic.


    However, at this time, his ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡± reached the grand achievement realm.


    Although the main benefit was from taking one ¡°Fire Clearing Pill¡± every seven days and the calming effect of the white jade bell, which helped him control his surging divine sense, it was still the first cultivation technique that Chen Mobai had cultivated to a grand achievement realm. He was very happy.


    Today, he took the 22nd Fire Clearing Pill and successfully broke through to the divine sense realm of Qi Cultivation Nine-Layer.


    From now on, although the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique can continue to increase his divine sense, if he wants to go further, to let his divine sense out of his body, he needs to cultivate other higher-level techniques.


    As he listened to the sound of the white jade bell calming his divine sense, waiting for the Green Paulownia seedling brought forth by his contemplation in his Sea of Consciousness to fully form on top, Chen Mobai felt that he had gained control over the divine sense increased by taking the pill.


    ¡°The number of pills Qing Nu made for me is quite alright, with just one more.1


    Chen Mobai picked up the jade vial beside him, which still contained the last


    Fire Clearing Pill. However, for him, it was no longer of much use.


    After putting the pill and the white jade bell into the storage bag, Chen Mobai teleported to the Tianhe Realm.


    It was also a wooden cabin.


    Upon opening the door, he saw green and properly arranged rice seedlings.


    Looking around, the three acres of Spirit Field, which had once been covered with weeds, were now filled with Spiritual Rice seedlings.


    Although it was Chen Mobai¡¯s first time sowing seeds, having often been taken to the terraces by his mother when he was young, he was familiar with the process.


    He also consulted the academy¡¯s teachers on agricultural studies, so the seedlings this time grew very well; their leaves were tender and lush with straight and slender stems. It was clear that they would produce full-bodied Spiritual Rice in the near future.


    In addition to these three acres of Spirit Field, Chen Mobai also developed additional Spirit Fields in his spare time during cultivation, according to the knowledge he learned in class.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, only he would do such a thing.


    It would have taken at least a year for any other disciple to open up a field.


    Agriculture was the most advanced in the immortal sects, wherever it was possible to cultivate, it was all developed into Spirit Fields. Not only was the technology advanced, but there were also various tools for ploughing and


    cultivating.


    Being financially tight after custom making the puppet for performing magic, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t afford to buy farming tools, but luckily, the Daoist


    Academy had some.


    He sent an application to Lin Wenkang.


    The latter was very pleased with his focus on agriculture after puppetry, and directly approved his application to borrow the academy¡¯s farming tools.


    The quality of the farming tools in the academy is much better than those sold in the market, but they consume a bit of spiritual power.


    Before opening a spirit field, the nearby Red Sun Trees must first be chopped down.


    For Chen Mobai, chopping logs was a rather easy task.


    The creation of a Spirit Field depends mainly on the grade of the Spirit Vein.


    According to the methods of the Immortal Sect, the Rank-2 lower-grade Spirit Vein here can be evenly distributed into ten mu of Rank-1 lower-grade Spirit Fields.


    Chen Mobai needs to plant Jade Bud Spirit Rice, a Rank-1 lower-grade Spirit Plant, for the Divine Wood Sect.


    In the beginning, the three mu of spirit field, which was cleared, ploughed and covered with soil, had already been fully sown.


    As for the newly opened seven mu of spirit field, because the aura of the Spirit Vein was just transferred over, it would need another half a month to be conditioned before it can be sown.


    After checking the seedlings and confirming there were no diseases or pests, he pulled out several dead seedlings.


    As it was his first time farming in the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to plant rice varieties that had already been cultivated by the Immortal Sect. He could only receive the Jade Bud Spirit Rice given out by the Sect.


    As he had no choices in the type of seeds, even though he had done a very good job in the entire process from sunning the seeds, soaking them, promoting germination and sowing them, about one-tenth of the seedlings he pulled out were not satisfactory.


    However, because Chen Mobai used the spiritual fertilizer potion from the Immortal Sect, he didn¡¯t need to worry about the fertility of the soil in the Spirit Field or pests. Plus, having a fully developed Divine Sense, he could easily see those seedlings that had turned slightly yellow.


    After plucking and replacing them, in these three mu of spirit field, only the good rice varieties were left.


    Chen Mobai was confident that when the Jade Bud Spirit Rice matures, he would be able to harvest at least one hundred and fifty jin per mu.


    If he had a few more years to select superior types, it wouldn¡¯t be impossible to harvest two hundred jin per mu.


    Chen Mobai took out the spirit fertilizer that he bought from the Immortal Sect from his storage bag and took out the only tool he didn¡¯t borrow from the academy.


    It was a small disc with a diameter of about half a meter, a flying puppet tool he made himself.


    It can fly for ten days and nights by placing a lower-grade Spirit Stone in the groove in the middle.


    Chen Mobai inserted a transparent plastic hose into the large water tank at the door of the wooden house, the other end was plugged into a pipe protruding from the top part of the flying fertilizer spreading puppet disk.


    After injecting spiritual power to start it, the disc began to rotate and fly, drawing water mixed with spiritual fertilizer from the tank while spraying it everywhere in the Spirit Field following the route set by Chen Mobai.


    Having confirmed that the fertilization was without issues, Chen Mobai went back to his cabin to continue his cultivation.


    Seemingly due to his fully-developed Divine Sense, he made a direct breakthrough to the seventh level of the Immortality Scripture this time during meditation.


    At this moment, the Spiritual Power Vortex in the Qi Sea, which originally represented the Five Element Cultivation, was left only as a silhouette.


    Chen Mobai had an intuition that as soon as the Immortality Scripture absorbs the entire Spiritual Power Vortex, it would be the time when he breaks through to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation.

    This was probably another benefit of having a fully-developed Divine Sense.


    At this thought, he remembered that he still had a storage bag that had not been opened.


    Today, with the completion of the ¡°Nourishing Thoughts and Casting God¡± cultivation technique, he could try again.


    Chen Mobai took out the flying puppet that just finished fertilizing from his storage bag. He activated the set of formation from the sect to protect the Spirit Field, preventing wild beasts from Giant Tree Ridge from feeding on these seedlings.


    Then he returned to his place on Planet Diyuan and pulled out the storage bag he had acquired from Green Light Island from his backpack..

 Chapter 190 - Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Opening the Storage Bag 1

    Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Opening the Storage Bag 1


    Translator: 549690339    0   b¡ª


    Inside the room.


    Chen Mobai stared at over eight hundred Spirit Stones which had just spilled out from the storage bag onto the floor, leaving him stunned.


    After successfully mastering the cultivation technique ¡°Nourishing Thoughts and Casting God¡±, he effortlessly removed the previous owner¡¯s imprint from the storage bag. Although he hoped for some gain, such a massive reward still caught him off guard.


    He was never one to have particularly good luck.


    Who would have known that the storage bag he¡¯d picked up amongst the ruins on Green Light Island would yield such an astounding fortune?


    Snapping back to his senses, Chen Mobai excitedly stacked the Spirit Stones one by one.


    Counting as he stacked, he finally ended up with a small hill-like pile of 867 lower-grade Spirit Stones, making him dizzy with joy.


    After setting aside the Spirit Stones, the rest of the items inside the storage bag came into Chen Mobai¡¯s view.


    There were three cultivation technique books.


    Upon checking, they turned out to be the ¡°Sutra of Eternal Life¡±, ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡±, and ¡°Dual Phase Technique¡±!


    Could this bag have belonged to a disciple of Divine Wood Sect?


    A hint of suspicion flashed through Chen Mobai¡¯s mind as he saw the three cultivation techniques.


    In Green Light Island Market, few could hold such many Spirit Stones.


    Before the attack of the demonic beasts, the Divine Wood Sect had handed out multiple Spirit Stones to sect disciples like Wang Yuanwu to hire loose cultivators on the island.


    These three techniques perfectly matched the standard kit of a true disciple from the Divine Wood Sect.


    Besides the techniques, there were also two sets of clothes, which suggested the owner was a male cultivator, and over a hundred taels of gold.


    There weren¡¯t any pills or talismans inside the storage bag. Probably the previous owner had consumed all the pills and expended all the talismans while fighting until the last moment on Green Light Island. Only these Spirit Stones and techniques, which were of no use in battle, were spared.


    The owner might have hidden this storage bag in a concealed spot in the market before dying in battle, where it was later discovered by Chen Mobai, who left no stone unturned.


    Upon realizing this storage bag might belong to a true disciple of Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai became convinced that his decision to buy Yuan Chiye¡¯s storage bag was absolutely right.


    If it had been recognized, having the 867 Spirit Stones reclaimed would be the least of his problems; If he were accused of harming fellow disciples by the Divine Wood Sect, he might have to go on the run.


    Chen Mobai stowed the Spirit Stones into the bag he had bought from Yuan Chiye, and coupled with his savings, he now had 1097 lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    It was enough for him to cultivate the ¡°Three Suns Body¡±.


    Perhaps it was all in his head, but he felt as if the sky-blue silk pouch had become somewhat heavier.


    It took him quite a while to come back to his senses from the jubilation of this sudden wealth.


    He finally calmed down after half a moment of browsing through the three techniques before him.


    Upon browsing through ¡°Sutra of Eternal Life¡± and ¡°Dual Phase Technique¡±, it turned out to be the same book he had exchanged from the sect¡¯s Book Pavilion.


    But, he had heard of ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡± several times, yet he hadn¡¯t seen it before.


    However, he was very familiar with this fire attribute technique.


    After all, in Green Light Island, irrespective of Qi Hou, Qi Rui, or even Wang Yuanwu, he knew each Divine Wood Sect disciple cultivated this technique. Qi Rui had even given him his notes on refining the ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡±, it¡¯s just a shame it was not easy to find someone in the Tianhe Realm, unlike the Immortal Gate where a simple phone call will suffice.


    Chen Mobai also asked Yuan Chiye about how many people the Divine Wood Sect had withdrawn after the battle on Green Light Island, and if these familiar faces were among them.


    However, Yuan Chiye found it too troublesome and told him to find out for himself after he left Bud Hall.


    Unfortunately, as time passed, Chen Mobai was too busy chopping logs, cultivating, and farming, and he gradually forgot about it.


    Now, seeing the ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡±, he was immediately reminded of his time on Green Light Island.


    It was his first time facing the dangers of the cultivation world in Tianhe Realm, and also a crucial period of growing from an inexperienced youth into a mature individual.


    This fire attribute technique unexpectedly includes both talisman and sword dual cultivation.


    Other areas are fine. After all, Chen Mobai has already mastered the ¡°Crimson Flame Talisman¡± and ¡°Sword Qi Talisman¡± recorded above.


    After his studies at the Daoist Academy, he is confident he can draw the ¡°Crimson Flame Sword Talisman¡±. However, he hasn¡¯t had the opportunity to do so yet due to the specific type of talisman ink required.


    As for the subsequent ¡°Two Sword Talisman¡± and ¡°Three Sword Talisman¡±, he might need to further refine his talisman scripting ability.


    However, this Red Flame Sword Jue also documents the first three realms of sword cultivation.


    Sword Training to become Gang, Sword Gang transforming into Qi, and Rainbow Sword Qi!


    Among them, Sword Training to become Gang involves condensing spiritual power into Sword Gang, which can be attached to anything, cutting iron like mud.


    Previously, the loose cultivators who wanted to rob Chen Mobai¡¯s Casting Sword Ring belonged to such a realm. They attached Sword Gang to their longswords, who, thus, become as sharp as flying swords.


    Sword Gang transforming into Qi is a higher realm.


    At this stage, the Sword Gang is condensed into Sword Qi, which can attack from a distance. The more refined the Sword Qi, the farther the attack range and the stronger the attack power.


    Usually, those who can ¡°transform Sword Gang into Qi¡± are considered unblockable killers among their peers at the same Qi Cultivation level, because they can¡¯t use the technique of Divine Consciousness Leaving Body to avoid it.


    Finally, ¡°Rainbow Sword Qi¡± can only be practiced after the Foundation Establishment.


    In such a realm of sword cultivation, the emergence of Sword Qi can pull the nature¡¯s spiritual energy, just like terrifying tidal waves and long rainbows in the sky.


    Chen Mobai recalls the Casting Sword Ring that is buried in the bottom of his storage bag.


    Since this was also a thing that he found, and because it is exclusive to the true disciples of the Golden Cliff, Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t dare to ask Yuan Chiye about it, and he also doesn¡¯t have the time to look it up at the Book Pavilion.


    However, it seems to be very helpful for sword training?


    Chen Mobai thought about the loose cultivators who wanted to snatch this brass ring, and became thoughtful.


    However, he simply glanced at the Red Flame Sword Jue and put the technique book back into his storage bag.


    Now the main goal is to break through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation then try to establish the foundation. He also needs to improve his Spiritual Root in his spare time. Currently, he doesn¡¯t have the time to spare for sword training. Moreover, if he wants to practice sword in the future, he will certainly follow the path of Immortal Sword Technique.


    Because the way of sword cultivation would certainly be researched more deeply in the Immortal Door than in the Tianhe Realm.


    One of the seven Divinity Transformation cultivation techniques of the Immortal Door, which is not taught in the Daoist academies and can only be cultivated by three masters of the Immortal Door, is called ¡°Immortal Sword Technique,¡± and it is known as the first in killing.


    For example, Yuan Yang, this true monarch of Divinity Transformation, is a grandmaster of sword cultivation.


    At his peak, he wielded the Primordial Yang Sword, demonstrating the brilliance of one sword breaking all laws.


    While thinking, Chen Mobai took out the Casting Sword Ring.


    This ring has been appraised by Wu Wan before, but Chen Mobai now knows that Wu Wan¡¯s appraisal was incomplete, and some hidden functions have not been identified.


    He thinks it is necessary to fully understand the functions of this magic artifact.


    He gets up.


    He doesn¡¯t go to the Divine Wood Sect for answers, but makes a phone call instead.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Brother, I found a fascinating magic artifact at the second-hand market. Do you have time to help me appraise it?¡±


    On the other end of the phone is Ming Yuhua, who has also made a big splash in the Artifact Refining Department in the past six months.


    Unlike Chen Mobai, who is somewhat unreal in his talent, Ming Yuhua is a genuine genius.


    Not only did he pass the Rank-t Treasure Appraiser exam in his first month of enrollment, he also recently passed the Rank-1 Artifact Refiner exam. He is known as the most talented refining genius in the Dance Tool Dao Academy in the past decade.


    Ming Yuhua agreed very simply, asking Chen Mobai to come to the artifact room in Building 6 to find him..

 Chapter 191 - Chapter 191: Chapter 191: The Same Participator !

    Chapter 191: Chapter 191: The Same Participator !


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°This ring is a sword training implement.¡±


    ¡°Those who have achieved Sword Gang can inject their Sword Qi into it, creating a corresponding form, saving time on the cultivation of Sword Qi by Sword Cultivators.¡±


    ¡°However, the primary function is similar to the Puppet Technique. It can help those in the first Realm understand the condition of Sword Gang Transforming Qi in the second realm, giving them a sense of direction.¡±


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s description, Ming Yuhua toyed around with various equipment in the Daoist Academy¡¯s appraisal room. After a thorough examination, he finally discovered its real use.


    No wonder it is called ¡®Casting Sword Ring.¡¯¡±


    Understanding this, Chen Mobai then figured out why South Mountain thieves recognized it and couldn¡¯t help but steal it.


    One of the Golden Cliff¡¯s apprentices might have fallen in the battle against the demonic beasts in Green Light Island, leaving behind this Casting Sword Ring.


    If he manages to establish a successful foundation in the future, he could use the Casting Sword Ring to cultivate the Red Flame Sword Qi, offering a defensive cover to the Pure Yang Scroll.


    ¡°Where did you dredge up a treasure like this?¡±


    After the appraisal, Ming Yuhua returned the Casting Sword Ring to Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai simply mentioned that he bought it at Crimson City¡¯s Antique Street.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that place full of fakes? You truly have a golden touch to find a gem like this.¡±


    As a registered Rank-1 Treasure Appraiser and Artifact Refiner, and a member of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Ming Yuhua often helps people authenticate their so-called ancient treasures and artifacts. Most of them usually turn out to be counterfeits, contemporary knock-offs of ancient artifacts.¡±


    ¡°I just got lucky. Speaking of which, have you been in touch with Yunyang Bing? I haven¡¯t seen him in a while.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly changed the topic.


    ¡°A while ago, he was busy helping his professors install a Spiritual Gathering Array in a research institute. He probably got back today.¡±


    Upon this, Ming Yuhua immediately gave Yunyang Bing a call. As expected, he was at the Daoist Academy.


    There wasn¡¯t much to talk about. Chen Mobai invited them for a meal, and the three of them had a good time.


    ¡°By the way, Chen, I¡¯ve heard about your reputation as a farming and puppetry genius. You used to be into talismans, why the sudden change?¡±


    Ming Yuhua teased while enjoying his meal.


    All Chen Mobai could do was shake his head bitterly. Both puppetry and agriculture were considered minor disciplines at the Daoist Academy, the number of their students was even less than half of the talismanology department.


    Only eleven students in their year chose puppetry.


    Agriculture attracted even fewer students, only seven.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the seniors who chose these minor disciplines for the sake of credits, they wouldn¡¯t even have enough students to form a class.


    That¡¯s why Chen Mobai stood out. Through hands-on practice, he managed to integrate and understand the theoretical knowledge, barely securing the title of ¡®genius¡¯ in these two fields.


    ¡°Perhaps I¡¯m not gifted in talismans. Come on, let¡¯s change the subject. Let¡¯s drink.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly changed the topic again, asking about Yunyang Bing¡¯s Formation cultivation progress.


    However, Yunyang Bing just sighed.


    ¡°I¡¯ve overestimated myself. Next year, I might have to focus on Ground Array cultivation. After I pass the Rank-2 Ground Array, I will start considering Sky Array cultivation.¡±


    Yunyang Bing also took the exam for a Rank-1 Ground Array Master last month, at which Chen Mobai could only express envy.


    The two of them are true prodigies. Even though Yunyang Bing failed at simultaneously practicing ground array and sky array, being able to complete an assessment of Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal at the age of twenty virtual years may seem ordinary at Dance Tool Dao Academy, but when compared to the whole Immortal Sect, they are indeed the most brilliant talents in array techniques.


    While accompanying them for drinks, Chen Mobai also thought about finding a time to take a certification exam.


    However, because he has recently focused on practicing the longevity sutra, his knowledge in puppetry technique and spirit plants has not been fully perfected. If he takes the exam now, he might fail.


    For other universities, failing the exam a few times is considered normal.


    But for students of the four great Daoist academies, getting a rank-1 certificate should be accomplished at the first try. Otherwise, it¡¯s a disgrace.


    Thinking about this, Chen Mobai felt he should spend more time studying and improving before going for the exam when he was more confident.


    ¡°I heard that Zhongli Tianyu broke through to the second level of Foundation Establishment a while ago.¡±


    Ming Yuhua brought up another matter, which Chen Mobai and Yunyang Bing were also aware of.


    Those students in the Metaphysical Class who practice ¡°The Union of Differences¡± and Zhongli Tianyu have the same tutor. When the latter broke through, discussions in the group were heated, with envy, determination, and even despair leading some to choose to give up.


    ¡°His object for The Union of Differences is the Bagua Mirror of his ancestor Zhongli, so he doesn¡¯t need to waste time searching. After successfully practicing The Union of Differences, he benefits from the Rank-4 Magic Artifact of the same bloodline, and his cultivation speed won¡¯t slow down before Nascent Soul Formation. It is estimated that he will achieve perfect Foundation Establishment and attempt Core Formation before his hundredth birthday.¡±


    At this point, even the usually cheerful Ming Yuhua was somewhat bitter.


    To practice ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯, one needs to find an object that matches the cultivator¡¯s life fate. A good example of this is Zhongli Tianyu, who directly got an artifact from his bloodline ancestor. His cultivation progresses half the work, double the results, and he basically will not be stuck in a bottleneck when he breaks through realms.


    But if the choice is not good, it will hinder the cultivator¡¯s progress, doing twice the work for half the results.


    The prodigies of the Metaphysical Class have all forcefully practiced ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ relying on their strong talents, but they all want the best for their objects of the same fate, at least a Rank-3 magic artifact or a spirit plant.


    So in this class, the only one who has determined his object for the Union of Differences is Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°Finding an object for The Union of Differences is not as easy as it sounds. One of my grandfathers had amazing talents, but he spent so much time on the object for The Union of Differences that he ultimately failed in Core Formation.¡±


    Yunyang Bing chose the Pure Yang Scroll because he had this example in his family.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. We first practice the Pure Yang Scroll, and after reaching Foundation Establishment, we can try the Spirit Artifact Cultivation Method derived from The Union of Differences. This way, we can at least reach the door to Core Formation. As long as I can reach Core Formation in this lifetime, I will have lived up to my parents and friends.¡±


    Ming Yuhua has a very clear plan for his cultivation path, which is also one of the reasons he chose the Refining Implement Department.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t feel comfortable stating that he had temporarily put aside the cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll, with only the Pure Yang Daoist Body still progressing steadily by consuming spirit stones.


    The three of them, a small Pure Yang circle, chatted for a while on their way home after finishing their barbecue and beer.


    ¡°Once the spirit rice I planted is ripe, I will personally brew a pot of wine for you guys to taste.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    When they parted ways at the school gate, Chen Mobai¡¯s words left Ming Yuhua and Yunyang Bing full of anticipation.


    This spirit rice is not the Jade Bud Spirit Rice planted in the Divine Wood Sect, but the spirit rice in the half-acre experimental field allocated to the new students of agricultural studies.


    Chen Mobai planted Water Clear Rice from his old home in Taixu Mountain Range.


    The wine made from this rice has a sweet and pure taste, is refreshing, and like drinking sweet dew. Regular consumption also purifies the body and rejuvenates the marrow.


    Because he was familiar with it from an early age, the Water Clear Rice in his half-acre experimental field grew well, with full rice ears, and was highly appreciated by his mentor Lin Wenkang. The mentor praised him for his talent in farming..

    Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Reaping l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Chen Junior Brother, have you ever learned the legacy of the Spirit Plant Master?¡±


    ¡°Never, I have just been interested in farming since I was a child.¡±


    At the edge of a Spirit Field in the Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai was chatting with two disciples from the spiritual plant division of the Divine Wood Sect. In front of them were three acres of fully mature Yubud Lingmi.


    The air was filled with a heart-warming aroma of rice.


    Looking around, it was a sea of golden grain.


    The full rice ears looked like grains of gold naturally hanging low, with a perfect curve. As the breeze blew through the woods, they swayed steadily, like golden waves rolling in succession.


    This scene of abundant harvest satisfied the two Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, who had come to inspect the harvest of the Spirit Field.


    One of the disciples plucked a rice ear, and held it in his hand, feeling the fullness of the grain shell, and smiling at the corners of his mouth.


    ¡°Chen Senior Brother, would you like to join our spiritual plant division?¡±


    ¡°Well, actually, I enjoy farming, and there are seven acres of Yubud Lingmi in my Spirit Field about to mature too, and to prevent pests, I can¡¯t leave.¡±


    Now that Chen Mobai joins the Divine Wood Sect, his only aim left is to get the Foundation Building Pill. He does not wish to waste time elsewhere.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Chen Junior Brother, our spirit plant department doesn¡¯t micromanage. You¡¯ll be quite free after you join.¡±


    ¡°Also as long as you¡¯re a disciple in our spirit plant department, you can freely obtain the Lingzhi Husband¡¯s legacy from the Book Pavilion.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s also an annual allowance of a hundred Spirit Stones. This can be stacked with the sect¡¯s benefits.¡±


    After hearing the words of this senior brother named Lu Jun, Chen Mobai was somewhat tempted. He had no interest in the Lingzhi Husband¡¯s legacy because the immortal gate has better ones.


    The key point was the additional income of a hundred Spirit Stones a year.


    Although he was indeed rich now, with thousands of Spirit Stones, one could never have too many of this resource.


    ¡°Lu Senior Brother, does the spirit plant department have any other duties besides these benefits?¡±


    Chen Mobai decided it was better to ask first, there¡¯s no such thing as a free lunch after all.


    ¡°Occasionally, there are some issues in the spirit fields and medicine fields within the sect, and we need the help of the disciples from the spirit plant department. Looking at your farming skills, Junior Brother, I dare say that you will be among the top in the spirit plant department.¡±


    Lu Jun put it quite clearly: he valued Chen Mobai¡¯s farming skills, and wanted him to guide the other farming disciples within the sect to see if they could increase the yield.


    ¡°Well, I am currently at a critical point in my cultivation, and may not be able to multitask.¡±


    If it¡¯s just guiding one or two people, Chen Mobai could accept that. But if he were expected to go around the entire Divine Wood Sect, then he¡¯d rather decline.


    ¡°Junior Brother, take your time to think about it.¡±


    Lu Jun merely made a casual mention. Since Chen Mobai was not very enthusiastic, he didn¡¯t say much more about it.


    ¡°Teng Junior Brother, let¡¯s harvest this three acres of Yubud Lingmi.¡±


    Lu Jun and another disciple from the spirit plant department took out two sickles, and started harvesting the three acres of fully mature Spirit Field with their magic artifacts.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, disciples could claim the Spirit Field and get seeds and formation, but when it was time to harvest, the people from the spirit plant department had to come and do it.


    At this time, the people from the spirit plant department would calculate the harvested yield on the spot and immediately settle the contributions to the sect.


    Lu Jun and his partner seemed to be well versed in this matter, since they completed it very quickly, in just two hours.


    However, Chen Mobai still felt they were too slow. If he could use the harvester from the Dimensional Cultivation, he could have finished harvesting these three acres by himself within half an hour.


    ¡°A total of 458 jin, and a yield of 150 jin per mu. This has already broken the sect¡¯s record.¡±


    After weighing, another spirit plant division disciple named Teng Jie was shocked.


    The price of this Yubud Lingmi in the market is 10 jin for one lower-grade Spirit Stone. That is to say, the three acres harvested here, combined with the seven acres of Spirit Field that is about to mature, total to a crop worth 150 Spirit Stones.


    And what did the Divine Wood Sect pay for it?


    Just some inexpensive rice seeds and a lower-grade Rank-1 Azure Light Formation.


    The Azure Light Formation is worth 50 Spirit Stones, but its ownership is still with the spirit plant department, and they could take it back at any time.


    That means they only paid a few Spirit Stones¡¯ worth of seed costs.


    This man was born to be part of their spirit plant department.


    The two exchanged glances. Lu Jun, who only casually invited Chen Mobai to join the spirit plant department earlier, felt that he might not have shown enough sincerity just now.


    ¡°Junior Brother, did you open up these other seven acres of Spirit Field yourself?¡±


    In terms of the claiming procedure, only three acres were claimed. So theoretically, the crops from the remaining seven acres of Spirit Field belong to Chen Mobai himself.


    Lu Jun clearly remembered this, because it was him who came to harvest this three-acre Spirit Field last time, although the yield was very average, only about 80 jin per mu.


    ¡°Indeed, farming is only busy during sowing. Other times it¡¯s just killing bugs with the Spirit Needle Technique and watering. In my spare time from cultivation, I just took a hoe and opened up the wasteland nearby. It¡¯s also a way to subsidize my cultivation needs.¡±


    Chen Mobai answered truthfully.


    The spirit plant department of the Divine Wood Sect managed thousands of acres of medicinal fields, so how could they be interested in his tiny seven acres of Spirit Field?


    But he didn¡¯t realize that the spirit plant department, while managing thousands of acres of medicine fields and focusing mainly on spiritual medicine, had also abandoned several hundred acres of Spirit Fields due to lack of manpower.


    If Chen Mobai could manage these barren Spirit Fields, even just sowing the basic Yubud Lingmi, he could still harvest thousands of Spirit Stones a year.


    Excluding what had to be handed over to the Three Halls of the Sect, their spirit plant department could still get half.


    Even after being exploited layer by layer to get to these disciples, they could still gain at least a few dozen Spirit Stones.


    This farming genius must be in their spirit plant department.


    ¡°Chen Junior Brother, we¡¯ve been harvesting for half a day and are a bit thirsty.


    I wonder if we could ask for a cup of water?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was wondering why these two hadn¡¯t left yet, Lu Jun suddenly wiped his forehead, pretending to be sweaty, and asked for water.


    ¡°Please.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately scooped two large bowls of water from the big water tank at the door for them.


    ¡°Chen Junior Brother, let¡¯s be frank. Someone like you definitely needs to join our spirit plant department. If the Sect Leader finds out and we don¡¯t recruit you, our Division Leader will surely be blamed for leaving a talent like you in the wilderness.¡±


    ¡°Whatever request you have, just tell me. Whatever I can satisfy, I will.¡±


    ¡°What I can¡¯t satisfy, I can apply to the Division Leader.¡±


    After hearing the sincere words of Lu Jun, Chen Mobai found it a bit strange, was he so popular just because he was good at farming?


    But since the other party had already said so, he might as well make a request.

    ¡°I want the Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lu Jun nearly suffocated.


    This demand was something not even the three Foundation Establishment elders of the spirit plant department could satisfy, let alone him.


    ¡°Chen Junior Brother, if you want the Foundation Building Pill, then you really ought to join our spirit plant department.¡±


    Just as Lu Jun was about to shake his head and leave, Teng Jie on the side suddenly spoke up..

 Chapter 193 - Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Contribution of the Cultivation

    Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Contribution of the Cultivation


    Sect to Farming¡ª1


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Oh, Brother Teng, please do elaborate.¡±


    Chen Mobai was instantly interested.


    ¡°Brother Chen, your Spiritual Root Talent is exceptional, and at such a young age, you have already reached the late stage of Qi Cultivation. I assume you¡¯ll also contend for the position of True Disciple, as only by becoming a True Disciple, one gains eligibility to exchange for Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    What Teng Jie said made sense, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, didn¡¯t conceal anything and just nodded.


    ¡°With Brother Chen¡¯s age and talent, you certainly have a promising future. Brother Liu from our Spirit Plant Division failed his Foundation Establishment last month and his realm dropped, he should be stepping down from his position as a True Disciple in the next few days.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lu Jun slightly furrowed his eyebrows, but thinking of the three hundred sect contributions that Brother Liu had borrowed from him for the Foundation Building Pill, he chose to remain silent.


    ¡°Out of the twenty-four True Disciples of our sect, our Spirit Plant Division is assured of having at least one spot. After Brother Liu¡¯s Foundation Establishment failure and his significant depletion of Elemental Energy, plus owing everyone a lot of sect contributions, it¡¯s certain that he won¡¯t return to the ranks of True Disciples until he settles his debts.¡±


    ¡°After Brother Liu, the one to take his place as a True Disciple from the Spirit Plant Division should be Brother Li Li. However, he¡¯ll occupy the position for a bit, his actual talent and skills are even inferior to Brother Liu¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°If Brother Chen were to join our Spirit Plant Division and work diligently for ten years, by the time the next batch of Foundation Building Pills is ready and if you reach the Perfection of Qi Cultivation, whether it¡¯s competing with Brother Li Li or earning another True Disciple spot for our Spirit Plant Division, it would be much better than being alone out in the wilderness.¡±


    Chen Mobai was greatly moved by these words.


    Indeed, although the Divine Wood Sect only requires ten thousand sect contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill on the surface, there are many unwritten rules in reality.


    For example, True Disciples are given priority.


    In the ranks of True Disciples, one¡¯s place on the roster also matters.


    And within the roster, those who haven¡¯t undergone Foundation Establishment have a higher priority than those who have failed once.


    Originally, Chen Mobai planned to challenge a True Disciple with no backing in the sect¡¯s grand comparison after a few years of achieving perfection in Qi Cultivation, aiming to take their place.


    However, now that he had heard Teng Jie¡¯s words, he realized that even if he succeeded in doing so, wouldn¡¯t he then become a True Disciple in the eyes of other disciples, one with no background and thus could be challenged?


    If he joined the Spirit Plant Division, even though he might be a bit busier, at least he would have a tree to shelter him from the wind and rain in the Divine Wood Sect.


    But, isn¡¯t it too early to join now?


    Chen Mobai was still hesitating, as his current focus was extending towards achieving perfection in Qi Cultivation, he really didn¡¯t want to waste time on other things.


    ¡°Brother Chen, there is another key factor in exchanging for a Foundation Building Pill, I wonder if you have considered it.¡±


    Just then, Teng Jie spoke again.


    ¡°It must be about sect contribution points.¡±


    Chen Mobai was quick to grasp the key and immediately stated it.


    Teng Jie nodded and explained the details to him, this new sect disciple.


    ¡°The setting of sect contribution points is related to Spirit Stones. For most sect tasks, the number of Spirit Stones the task is worth is equivalent to the contribution points given to the person who completes it. This means we need to earn ten thousand Spirit Stones for the sect in order to accumulate enough sect contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    ¡°However, among all sect tasks, there are a few exceptions. Some tasks, being too small in scale, having too little harvest, and no one willing to do them, yet being indispensable to the sect, lead the Reward Virtue Hall to adjust the proportion of contributions to guide sect disciples to carry out these tasks.¡±


    ¡°Farming is one of these.¡±


    ¡°While other tasks provide one sect contribution point for each Spirit Stone, farming requires almost a year to harvest. During this period, pests must be exterminated using the Spirit Needle Technique, irrigation must be done using the Falling Rain Technique, and attacks from birds and beasts must be fended off. The output doesn¡¯t match the input, which has led to the abandonment of hundreds of acres of Spirit Fields in our Divine Wood Sect. All disciples who know about Spirit Plants have applied to take care of medicine fields.¡±


    ¡°Because the value of a single top-tier Rank-1 medical plant is equivalent to the yield of an acre of Spirit Field.¡±


    ¡°After Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, in order to avoid contamination from ordinary grains, cultivators who have reached the Qi Cultivation stage and above usually consume Spirit Rice apart from the Fasting Pill. If no one farms, should we let Foundation Establishment elders or even the two ancestors do it in person?¡±


    ¡°Therefore, in order to encourage disciples to farm, the sect specifically adjusted the conversion ratio of farming contribution to ten times. Even so, many disciples choose to give up after a year, feeling that they put in too much and get little in return.¡±


    ¡°If Brother Chen is willing to showcase his skills, even if you can¡¯t look after too many Spirit Fields by yourself, guiding some newly joined disciples and taking a tenth of the contribution at harvest time.¡±


    ¡°If you do this for a decade, you probably won¡¯t need to borrow from fellow disciples when exchanging for a Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    Having heard this, Chen Mobai was completely swayed.


    So, farming brings such high returns?


    However, this was mainly because he came from Xianmen where his farming technique is superb, coupled with the ample Spiritual Energy of Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Since Brother Teng is so sincere, I will gladly accept.¡±


    At this statement, the three of them shared a chuckle.


    Thus, Chen Mobai went with the two of them to the Divine Wood City at the center of Giant Tree Ridge.


    This was also the only place in Giant Tree Ridge where mortals could survive, as the vast medicinal fields of a thousand acres outside the city constituted the heart of the Divine Wood Sect.


    There were numerous Spiritual Medicines, but the manpower of the Spirit Plant Division wasn¡¯t sufficient, so some ordinary Spiritual Medicines were entrusted to the mortal descendants of sect disciples.


    All three halls and twelve divisions had offices in Divine Wood City. Almost eighty percent of the disciples from the Spirit Plant Division took care of medicine fields here.


    Lu Jun and Teng Jie handed over the Jade Bud Lingmi in their storage bags to the overseer in charge of intake, completing a division task.


    After the intake was confirmed by the Spirit Plant Division, Chen Mobai took his Divine Wood Sect disciple nameplate to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to swipe, and he would find an additional 458 sect contribution points.


    Although a sect contribution point is equivalent to a Spirit Stone, in private transfers, the price tends to float about twenty percent higher.


    ¡°Brother Chen, please wait here for a moment with Brother Teng.¡±


    While they were invited, it was necessary to inform the leadership above.


    Lu Jun went in with a smile, but came out almost immediately with a strange expression on his face.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Please, both of you, come in.¡±


    They arrived at a big hall with many chairs, and saw that quite a number of people were already sitting inside.


    The three leading figures sat in a line under a giant map, sipping tea with varying expressions.


    Beneath the three of them, seven or eight Divine Wood Sect disciples were sitting on either side. The one on the left had a pale face as if he was severely drained of his Elemental Energy. The one leading on the right had yellowish skin with rough hands and feet, appearing like an old farmer.


    Following the entry of Chen Mobai and the others, one chubby Foundation Establishment cultivator pointed to some empty seats in the corner. Lu Jun immediately led them to sit there and listen silently..

 Chapter 194 - Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Spirit Plant Department_l

    Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Spirit Plant Department_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Those three are our Spirit Plant Department¡¯s Director, Deputy Director, and Inspector.¡±


    ¡°The one on the left is Brother Liu Guilong, and the one on the right is Brother Li Li.¡±


    After sitting down, Lu Jun introduced them to Chen Mobai through a voice transmission spell.


    ¡°Director, although I failed in Foundation Establishment, my realm has not fallen. I believe it¡¯s best for me to continue holding this true disciple position.¡±


    The pale-faced Liu Guilong, who is the true disciple of the Spirit Plant Department, had just finished speaking when Li Li stood up to refute him from across the table.


    ¡°Brother Liu, you know the rules of our sect; the capable ones should hold the position. I¡¯m not trying to take your true disciple¡¯s place, but the annual sect competition is approaching. Although you haven¡¯t fallen in realm, you failed to establish the foundation, which greatly reduces your magic duel capabilities. If you lose in the competition, wouldn¡¯t it disgrace our Spirit Plant Department?¡±


    ¡°Although I¡¯m not very talented, at least I¡¯m confident that I can win over many within the sect, except for a few extraordinarily gifted disciples.¡±


    ¡°Why doesn¡¯t Brother Liu focus on healing first? After your injuries heal, you can perform some sect tasks to return the contribution points you owe us. After that, I will immediately return your true disciple¡¯s position to you.¡±


    As soon as Li Li said this, many fellow disciples around him nodded in agreement, even some disciples beside Liu Guilong showed hesitation.


    ¡°It¡¯s rather unwise of Brother Liu to cling so desperately to his position. It doesn¡¯t align with his usual character. Could it be that his mind is disturbed due to his failure in Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Teng Jie murmured to himself and Lu Jun, who was beside him, couldn¡¯t help but nod, feeling that it must be so.


    Afterward, the two of them each had their own arguments. Chen Mobai sat quietly in the corner without saying a word. When the two of them wrapped up their arguments, the three leaders had finished their tea.


    ¡°Reasoning is something that can¡¯t be clearly argued out.¡±


    The chubbily built elder who was sitting on the far right laughed and then proposed a simple solution.


    ¡°Two nephews, why not settle it with a magic duel, according to the sect¡¯s rules? Whoever wins will be our Spirit Plant Department¡¯s true disciple representative.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Li Li held back his laughter, nodding his head at the three leaders to indicate his agreement.


    Despite Liu Guilong¡¯s pale face, a ruthless look flashed through his eyes. But just as he prepared to teach Li Li a lesson, his ear twitched and his eyes flashed with resentment. But in the end, he sighed.


    ¡°Never mind. We are all fellow disciples, there¡¯s no need for hostility. Nephew Liu, it¡¯s best if you focus on healing your injuries for now.¡±


    The one sitting in the center of the three Foundation Establishment stage elders suddenly spoke up.


    Lu Jun introduced him as Lu Zhiwen, the Director of the Spirit Plant Department.


    ¡°The position of true disciple will be temporarily taken by Nephew Li.¡±


    Once Lu Zhiwen spoke, the resolution was immediately settled. The two Foundation Establishment elders on either side had no objections and nodded in agreement.


    And so, Liu Guilong could only leave dejectedly.


    When he left, only a Qi Cultivation stage disciple followed him.


    The remaining four people all gathered around Li Li, the newly appointed true disciple of the Spirit Plant Department.


    ¡°Come, follow me.¡±


    Seeing the three Foundation Establishment True Cultivators each get up to leave, Lu Jun immediately brought Chen Mobai with him to follow the chubby elder and arrived in a courtyard.


    ¡°This is Elder Sun Gaochang of the Reward Virtue Hall, who is also our Spirit Plant Department Inspector.¡±


    As Teng Jie walked alongside Chen Mobai, he introduced the identities and backgrounds of the people they met.


    The Spirit Plant Department is a crucial department in the Divine Wood Sect, which controls thousands of acres of medicinal fields. Its three Foundation Establishment elders come from three different halls.


    The inspector comes from the Reward Virtue Hall who oversees the produce of spiritual medicines and Spirit Rice to prevent corruption. Although his position and power may not be as high as those of the Director or Deputy Director, no one dares to take him lightly.


    Lu Jun and Teng Jie are his subordinates.


    ¡°Sit.¡±


    After crossing the courtyard, the three of them came to a study. Sun Gaochang motioned for them to sit down and then started reading the document handed up by Lu Jun.


    It was the task report for their harvesting trip to the three acres of Spirit Field planted by Chen Mobai.


    When Sun Gaochang saw the yield per acre, he couldn¡¯t help but brighten up.


    ¡°Nephew Chen just joined this year?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to say more but only nodded in response, pretending to be frightened.


    Sun Gaochang then asked about who guided him into joining the sect, his Spiritual Root Talent, his current cultivation progress, and even some highly specialized knowledge about Spirit Plant Farming.


    Chen Mobai answered each question; when it came to the farming questions, he carefully thought about his answers to avoid revealing cultivation techniques beyond the Tianhe Realm¡¯s knowledge of Spirit Plant cultivation. The answering process was quite difficult for him.


    Even so, after hearing it, Sun Gaochang was quite satisfied.


    Indeed, he was talented in the field of Spirit Plant cultivation, particularly in farming, exhibiting unique insights that even caught Sun Gaochang¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Hmm, if your talent can be fully utilized, it would be substantially beneficial to our sect. But since you¡¯ve only just joined, I can¡¯t give you too heavy a workload.¡±


    Sun Gaochang¡¯s tone was gentle, and then he led the three of them to a wall in the study where a detailed leather map hung.


    ¡°Nephew Chen, these are the seven acres of the Spirit Field you¡¯ve developed.¡±


    Sun Gaochang pointed to a brown triangle mark on the southern side of the Giant Tree Ridge map. Chen Mobai took a closer look and noticed this place was marked as ¡®Small Yang Ridge.¡¯


    ¡°Inspector, we are a bit further from Small Yang Ridge, right here.¡±


    Lu Jun immediately pointed to the three small red dots on the right side of Small Yang Ridge.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s there. That¡¯s perfect because there¡¯s a Rank-2 top-grade Spirit Vein in Small Yang Ridge, two acres of medicinal fields at the foot of the mountain, and scattered Spirit Fields covering more than ten acres nearby. How about we assign all of these to Nephew Chen to develop?¡±


    After taking a look at the map, Sun Gaochang immediately circled the brown triangle, including two small green dots nearby and a large number of scattered small red dots.


    Chen Mobai followed his fingers looking at the circled areas, not uttering a word.


    Such a large area, and furthermore, the Spirit Fields were not in the same location. If he were to farm it all by himself, he would have no time to cultivate every day.


    This was not what Lu Jun and Teng Jie had earlier mentioned.


    ¡°Does Nephew Chen have any objections?¡±


    However in the face of Sun Gaochang, the Foundation Establishment elder¡¯s decision, he could only nod in agreement.


    ¡°Inspector¡¯s arrangement is very good, I have no objections.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, Lu Jun, handle the paperwork for Small Yang Ridge for Nephew Chen. I recall that there¡¯s a sect disciple currently overseeing the two acres of medicinal fields there. Just tell them that the harvest yield was not satisfactory and replace him since the year is almost over.¡±


    Upon finishing his sentence, Sun Gaochang waved his hand to signal for the three of them to withdraw.

    Accompanied by Lu Jun, Chen Mobai returned to the main hall of the Spirit Plant Department. Before he could speak, Teng Jie preemptively apologized and explained.


    ¡°Brother Chen, Brother Liu Guilong is under the Director and Brother Li Li is under the Deputy Director. Only under Inspector Sun, no True Disciple has yet emerged. If you work hard, who¡¯s to say the position couldn¡¯t be yours after Brother Li Li¡¯s?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai slightly twitched at the corner of his mouth. He decided not to believe them again.


    In the end, he was still too naive, but since he had been tricked into joining the Spirit Plant Department, he could only put up with it for now.


    If it really impedes his cultivation, he could always give in and quit farming..

 Chapter 195 - Chapter 195: Chapter 195 Spirit Treasure Pavilion 1

    Chapter 195: Chapter 195 Spirit Treasure Pavilion 1


    Translator: 549690339                  ¡ª


    However, having obtained a Rank-2, top-grade Spirit Vein ward for cultivation was an unexpected gain.


    ¡°Brother Chen rarely visits Divine Wood City, let brother Teng show you around. I need to handle the transfer procedures for Small Yang Ridge as well as the nearby medicinal and spiritual fields,¡± said Lu Jun before promptly leaving.


    With Teng Jie¡¯s enthusiastic invitation and Chen Mobai¡¯s desire to visit the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, they exited the Spirit Plant Bureau Hall together. The Divine Wood Sect comprises three Halls and twelve Departments.


    The most prominent amongst these Halls is the Divine Wood Hall where the Sect Leader resides, followed by Penalty Evil Hall which is responsible for law enforcement, punishment, and warfare, and Reward Virtue Hall, which manages resource distribution within the Sect.


    The Spirit Treasure Pavilion serves as the mission hall for the Divine Wood Sect.


    While the assignment of jobs is officially the responsibility of the Divine Wood Hall, the rewards for these tasks, such as Spirit Stone contributions, are audited and granted by the Reward Virtue Hall.


    Under the guidance of Teng Jie, Chen Mobai set foot in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion for the first time.


    He held up his identity nameplate in front of a large jade plate where a ray of light landed and instantly verified him, bringing up Chen Mobai¡¯s account information.


    He saw that he had 458 contribution points in the sect and a balance of 77 Spirit Stones.


    The Divine Wood Sect provides Spirit Stone welfare to its disciples every month, varying amounts depending on the cultivation realm.


    As Chen Mobai was at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, he would be granted 7 lower-grade Spirit Stones per month.


    Unbeknownst to him, he had almost spent a year in the Divine Wood Sect. Previously, since he was preoccupied with farming and had enough Spirit Stones in his storage bag, he never visited the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to collect his share.


    Brother Chen, the Spirit Plant Department grants 100 Spirit Stones annually which is distributed by our department. It¡¯s the end of the year, you¡¯re quite lucky,¡± said Teng Jie.


    The Spirit Plant Department¡¯s welfare is a yearly benefit. Chen Mobai had just joined but the timing was just right.


    This was indeed good news.


    Chen Mobai withdrew the 77 Spirit Stones from his account and browsed through the variety of elixirs, Array Disks of Magical Instruments, and such, that he could exchange for contribution points in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    He saw the familiar Crimson Flame Sword Talisman and Dark Water, among others.


    The Foundation Building Pill was naturally listed at the top.


    ¡°Is the Foundation Building Pill listed here? Could it be that there are surplus pills?¡± Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help asking Teng Jie.


    ¡°Definitely not, no matter how many there are, as soon as it¡¯s listed, it will immediately be exchanged,¡± he said.


    ¡°It is listed there to offer all sect disciples a glimmer of hope. If your account has ten thousand contribution points, you can join the queue.¡±


    ¡°As for the order of exchange after queuing, it would depend on individual prowess.¡±


    After finishing, Teng Jie couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    Both he and Lu Jun had passed the prime age of sixty, and neither of them had cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation. They had lost hope of building their foundation in this lifetime.


    Now, they were just hoping to accumulate some Spirit Stones in hope that among their disciples or descendants, there would be a talented individual with an exceptional Spiritual Root who could continue their immortal cultivation journey.


    Of the twenty-four true disciples in this generation, who would be willing to trade the Foundation Building Pill?¡± Chen Mobai asked, as his father had less than half a year left till he reached the age limit of sixty. When the time came, even if he hadn¡¯t achieved a complete ninth level of Qi Cultivation, he would definitely strive to build the foundation.


    As a son, Chen Mobai hoped that he could help his father acquire a Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°It would be simpler to kill them than to make them trade the Foundation Building Pill,¡± said Teng Jie a matter of factly, rendering Chen Mobai speechless.


    The cultivators in the Tianhe Realm placed the importance of the Foundation Building Pill far above their own lives.


    ¡°However, there¡¯s one person who is not a true disciple but possesses an extra Foundation Building Pill. If you have a good relationship, it¡¯s possible to make an inquiry. You might just be able to purchase it,¡± he added.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to give up, Teng Jie made a comment that brightened his eyes.


    ¡°Brother Teng, are you referring to¡­¡±


    ¡°That Sister Yin with the Heavenly Spiritual Root.¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered that Qi Rui had once told him about this, but she has already been designated by Elder Fu to be the successor. Although she is currently in the Qi Cultivating Realm, she practices in a rank-4 Spirit Vein, which ordinary people can¡¯t reach at all.


    Brother Teng, do you have any way to get in touch with her on my behalf?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just an ordinary disciple of the Spirit Plant Department. How could I reach that prodigy? In our department, only Brother Liu who was a True Disciple might have had some relations with her.¡±


    Liu Guilong.


    Chen Mobai was not familiar with him at all, but speaking of the True Disciples, he did know two of them.


    ¡°Does Brother Teng know Yuan Chiye and Sister Ding Ying?¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan is a True Disciple from the Formation Department, and Sister Ding Ying is a True Disciple from the Talisman Creation Department. Wait, do you know them?¡±


    Chen Mobai did not hide the fact that it was these two who had introduced him to the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°I see, if you want to find them, you can buy a Message Talisman here at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion using a Spirit Stone, ensuring it gets delivered to any disciple of the Divine Wood Sect at Giant Tree Ridge.¡±


    Teng Jie taught Chen Mobai how to communicate with fellow disciples within the sect. This was the first time he had heard of such talisman, which was similar to a pager in the world of immortals.


    Since he had enough Spirit Stones, he sent a Message Talisman to Yuan Chiye and Ding Ying, and also to Qi Rui, Wang Yuanwu, and Qi Hou, whom he had met on Green Light Island.


    However, two of them were returned almost immediately.


    This indicated that the Nameplates of these two people were not in Giant Tree Ridge.


    Upon checking, Chen Mobai found that these were from Yuan Chiye and Wang Yuanwu.


    ¡°Brother Yuan might have already gone to Yun Meng Ze to take control of the situation. As for Wang Yuanwu, he couldn¡¯t have¡­¡±


    The worst-case scenario was that he had died in battle. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to think about it any further.


    However, the good news came quickly after.


    Both Qi Rui and Qj Hou responded. They were both in the sect, but not in Divine Wood City.


    The last one was Ding Ying¡¯s reply, with only three simple words: ¡°Who are you?¡±


    Chen Mobai could only shake his head with a bitter smile.


    This senior sister had a forgetful nature, worthy of her status.


    Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a line of text on the back.


    ¡°Zone B, Spirit Talisman Street, N0.127 Courtyard! Come see me here.¡±


    It was an address. Chen Mobai thought it over and decided it would be good to pay a visit, so he asked Teng Jie about the location.


    Upon arrival, he sent a voice talisman inside.


    After a while, the main gate opened.


    A curvaceous woman in a red long dress with a stunning body walked out.


    She had almond eyes and peach cheeks, and her beautiful face stood at the doorway just as tall as Chen Mobai, giving a strong sense of oppression.


    You are Chen Guixian. I am sure I don¡¯t know you. Why did you contact me with a Message Talisman? Don¡¯t you know it¡¯s taboo?¡±

    Chen Mobai was stunned when the woman in front of him said she was Ding


    Ying. His mouth gaped open, flabbergasted.


    She was just a young girl around thirteen or fourteen when he met her in Southstream Market, so how did she suddenly mature?


    However, Chen Mobai quickly realized that this Ding Ying was not the same person he had met in Southstream Market.


    He vaguely guessed a possibility. Seeing the woman at the door growing more and more impatient, he didn¡¯t dare to hesitate any longer and quickly relayed the whole story..

    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°You said, Yuan Chiye and I initiated you into the sect at the Southstream


    Market?¡±


    After hearing this, Ding Ying stood in silence, her expression altering from a daze to understanding.


    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ve got it now. Do not mention this matter anymore in the future.


    ¡°Yes, Senior Sister Ding.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in comprehension.


    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else going on, please refrain from seeking me out?¡±


    ¡°It seems so¡­¡±


    Seeing Ding Ying about to shut the door, Chen Mobai gritted his teeth and with


    a touch of boldness, spoke his request for his father.


    ¡°You¡¯re saying you want to buy the Foundation Building Pill from Sister Yin?¡± After hearing this, Ding Ying displayed a peculiar expression. She scrutinized Chen Mobai from tip to toe and couldn¡¯t help but reveal a mocking smile.


    ¡°Junior Brother, sometimes you must recognize your place. Some things are beyond your grasp.¡±


    After saying this, she shut the door.


    Chen Mobai frowned slightly as he took in the sight of the courtyard before finally turning to leave.


    He stayed in Divine Wood City for two more days, waiting for Lu Jun to complete the transfer procedure for Small Yang Ridge. Also, Qi Rui had sent word that he wanted to meet him here.


    Qi Hou and Chen Mobai were not close, and with the addition of his own Foundation Building Pill, he couldn¡¯t spare the time as he was honing his spiritual power.


    However, he sent Brother Xi over to communicate with Chen Mobai.


    That night at an agreed-upon tavern, Chen Mobai reunited with the long-absent Qi Rui and Brother Xi.


    ¡°Chen Junior Brother, I knew with your talent, entering the Divine Wood Sect would be a breeze.¡±


    Qi Rui and Chen Mobai shared a bond forged through life and death. A man of hearty temperament, Qi Rui greeted Chen with a big hug upon spotting him.


    ¡°My name is Xi Jinghuo.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo¡¯s name was quite interesting. After introducing himself, he quietly took his assigned seat.


    ¡°Where is Brother Wang?¡±


    ¡°Alas, during the demonic beast invasion, he and a dozen other brothers volunteered to stay behind and guard the Teleportation Array, allowing us to escape. He lost his life on Green Light Island.¡±


    The joy from reuniting dimmed as Qi Rui recounted this, his expression turned somber.


    ¡°When we have the chance, let¡¯s go to Green Light Island to pay homage.¡± Chen Mobai could only sigh, before asking about the status of the other squad members.


    ¡°During the demonic beast invasion, Shi Pengyi and Luo Lin got separated from the group, and Brother Wu died alongside Brother Wang¡­¡±


    Qi Rui spoke of what he knew, and Chen Mobai could only pray that Shi Pengyi and Sister Luo Lin survived. However, considering the circumstances on Green Light Island, their prospects seemed bleak.


    ¡°Right, I advanced to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Finally, Chen Mobai heard some good news. After the life-and-death battle on Green Light Island, Qi Rui had finally reached the last step of Qi Cultivation:


    ¡°Congratulations.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo, who¡¯d been silently listening, couldn¡¯t help but congratulate Qi Rui. ¡°I hope to rank within the first hundred in the year-end grand competition, and strive to become a true disciple within five years. But I should also start working towards getting the 10,000 Good Deed Points needed to exchange for the Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    Qi Rui had devised a steady progression plan for himself.


    The Divine Wood Sect held a grand competition annually. Only cultivators at the Qi Cultivation stage and under sixty years of age could enter. This was their method of picking future stars for the sect and determining who would become the true disciples.


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t planned to participate. It was a waste of time.


    Moreover, he was aware of his prowess in magical duels. In Yuan Realm, he was known as ¡°Battle Law Victory¡±, but in Tianhe Realm, without sufficient talismans or Magic Artifacts, he was basically a pushover.


    His Good Deed Points from the Immortal Path were almost depleted, so the talismans in his storage bag were mostly remnants and assignments from his days at the Dance Instrument Dao Academy.


    Every talisman used was one less, he couldn¡¯t afford to be wasteful. Although participating in the grand competition of the sect could improve his magical combat skills, Chen Mobai felt it better not to subject himself to the humiliation. He would wait until he reached the final stage of Qi Cultivation before honing himself.


    There was a saying from Qing Ping that Chen Mobai would always remember. ¡°As long as your realm significantly surpasses your opponent¡¯s, you will never lose.¡±


    The topic of the Foundation Building Pill had come up, so Chen Mobai naturally mentioned the one in the hands of Tianhe.


    ¡°If you want to purchase the Foundation Building Pill from Sister Yin, I¡¯m afraid it might be too late.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai bring this up, Xi Jinghuo couldn¡¯t help shaking his head.


    ¡°Those of you who don¡¯t rub shoulders with the circle of true disciples may not know this, but we¡¯re clear about it. The Foundation Building Pill that Elder Fu bestowed upon Tianhe was meant to be passed from her hands to his own blood relative.¡±


    Being a relative of a Foundation Establishment elder, and also a member of the second generation of immortals within the Divine Wood Sect, Xi Jinghuo knew some secrets that Chen Mobai and Qi Rui did not.


    Among the last batch of true disciples, there was one named Fu Xingzhou who was Elder Fu¡¯s direct descendant.


    Even though he had Elder Fu¡¯s backing and had exchanged for a Foundation Building Pill, he still failed at Foundation Establishment.


    However, Fu Xingzhou was fortunate to have powerful backing and a bountiful arsenal of Magic Artifacts. Despite failing to build his foundation, he didn¡¯t lose his place among the true disciples. Originally, he was waiting for the next batch of Foundation Building Pills to be refined so he could exchange for one using another batch of Good Deed Points.


    Unfortunately, the Spirit Messenger of the previous generation luckily snatched Tianhe. As a result, Elder Fu instantly used this as an excuse to give the Foundation Building Pill, which should¡¯ve been exchanged by the next true disciple in line, to Tianhe.


    ¡°Five years ago, Fu Xingzhou successfully built his foundation. On the surface, it was said that Elder Fu bought one Foundation Building Pill from Tongbao Merchant Guild, but we know that Tianhe transferred the one in her possession to him.¡±


    Upon hearing this, both Qi Rui and Chen Mobai fell silent. Chen Mobai frowned. ¡°Isn¡¯t this unfair to the disciple who was originally supposed to receive the Foundation Building Pill?¡±


    ¡°Fairness? In the Divine Wood Sect, Elder Fu going to the lengths of using Tianhe as an excuse to take this Foundation Building Pill was already his way of maintaining fairness.¡±


    After hearing this, Xi Jinghuo issued a statement that left Chen Mobai speechless.


    ¡°Only by becoming a true disciple can the Foundation Building Pill be guaranteed.¡±


    After a long while, Qi Rui spoke. His typically determined face seemed even more resolute, making it clear that he had set his mind on battling hard in the sect competition.


    ¡°It seems that in the short term, there¡¯s no way to buy the Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai could not help but sigh in resignation. He made up his mind to buy a portion of Spirit Ascension Powder for his father, to complete the Foundation Establishment trio, and to be the best filial son he could be.


    ¡°There might be a chance.¡±


    At that moment, Xi Jinghuo suddenly spoke.


    ¡°Really?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Even though the Divine Wood Sect suffered a great defeat at the Battle of Green Light Island, some spoils were still retrieved.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai and Qi Rui looked at each other, their eyes brightening simultaneously.


    A Foundation Building Pill concocted from the inner core of Demonic Beasts!


    ¡°Has Elder Rong already refined it?¡±


    ¡ö¡öI wouldn¡¯t know about that. If you have connections with the Herbal Department, you can enquire about whether any auxiliary medicine used for refining the Foundation Building Pill has been taken from the medicinal fields recently. From this, you might be able to infer how far along the Foundation Building Pill has been refined..¡±

    Chapter 197: Chapter 197 End of Term_l

    After the three parted ways, Chen Mobai returned to the Spirit Plant Department.


    Lu Jun had finished the transfer procedures for Small Yang Ridge just in time. Starting next year, Chen Mobai had two acres of medicine fields and sixteen acres of spirit fields under his name.


    In addition to the three acres claimed this year and seven acres he had opened up, he now owned a total of twenty-six acres of spirit fields, making him a small landowner.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, feel free to make any requests. If you need the Azure Light Formation, you can get a few more sets,¡± Lu Jun said generously.


    Sun Gaochang, as the inspector of the Spirit Plant Department, had to handle all spirit stones and various materials. And Lu Jun, being his subordinate, had good control over these resources.


    Chen Mobai directly received five sets of Azure Light Formation and a bag of Dew Grass seeds.


    This Dew Grass is a Rank-1 intermediate category spiritual medicine, a supplementary ingredient for making many elixirs. It is also required in large quantities in the Foundation Building Pill.


    The excess medicine fields in Giant Tree Ridge were all used to grow this spirit grass.


    Normally, he should have received rice seeds as well, but Chen Mobai knew the average quality of the rice seeds in the Spirit Plant Department. He decided to use the Yubud Lingmi produced in his seven-acre spirit field as seeds.


    If it weren¡¯t for fear of exposure, he would have liked to use the rice seeds from the Celestial Sect.


    However, the minimum yield per acre for the Daoist Academy experimental fields is three hundred catties, which is a bit too advanced for the Tianhe Realm.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai also inquired about Elder Zeng from the Alchemy Department making the Foundation Building Pill.


    It was not a secret; many people were keeping an eye on this matter.


    Lu Jun directly told him that the auxiliary medicines were indeed being prepared, but since Elder Zeng was currently refining a furnace of ¡°White Jade Spirit Ginseng Pills¡±, he might not start making the Foundation Building Pill until after the New Year, or even later.


    As for when exactly it would be made, they, the lower-level disciples, could only wait.


    Hearing this, all Chen Mobai could do was sigh.


    He had done all he could at this point.


    That night, he left Divine Wood City and returned to the vicinity of Small Yang Ridge, where his ten-acre spirit field was located.


    Time passed quickly.


    At the gate of Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai, Ming Yuhua, and Yunyang Bing hired a car to the train station.


    ¡°See you next year.¡±


    The three of them had to part ways at the train station because they came from different blessed lands of the Celestial Sect.


    After boarding the train, Chen Mobai sat alone in first class, reading an ancient manuscript on boundary laws: the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret.


    His first year at Dance Tool Dao Academy was fulfilling.


    The main courses ¡°Puppetry¡± and its related ¡°Spirit Artifact Automation¡±, as well as ¡°Agricultural Studies¡± all ended with high scores, maintaining his persona as a hands-on genius.


    However, every silver lining has a cloud. His other major course, ¡°Talisman¡±, could not withstand the final exam.


    The task was to draw a Rank-1 high-grade spirit talisman similar in difficulty to the Red Flame Triple Sword Talisman. Chen Mobai failed all three attempts due to inadequate learning and flunked the course.


    Fortunately, the elective ¡°Talisman Ink Extraction¡± saved him. He used the Cinnabarite Spirit Sand he got from Shen Juanxiu to blend an almost Rank-2 talisman ink because of the good materials, earning him a high score.


    The Calligraphy teacher was kind-hearted; as long as you signed up, didn¡¯t skip classes, and submitted ten pieces of calligraphy as a final project, everyone could pass.


    At the end of the semester, Chen Mobai completed 11 credits, narrowly passing all his courses.


    It was also at the end of the term that Chen Mobai learned that school credits could be used to exchange for many elixirs and magic talismans that were not available on the market.


    For example, the Foundation Building Triad can be exchanged with 5 school credits by students in the Daoist Academy.


    Another example is Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, a Spirit Water that can nourish and expand the meridians, increasing the success rate of foundation establishment, which is valued at 15 school credits.


    Usually, students of the Dance Tool Dao Academy save their credits for use after successfully establishing their foundation.


    Those who cultivate with the ¡°Union of Differences¡± use them to exchange for top-ranked spiritual treasures compatible with their spiritual roots.


    Even those who do not use the ¡°Union of Differences¡± can also exchange for Rank-2 spiritual objects they need.


    For example, those in the Talisman Line would exchange for Rank-2 talisman paper and ink to breakthrough; those in the Puppet Line exchange for precious parts to make higher-grade dolls; those from the Refining Implement Department exchange for the materials they need; credits can also be used to apply for opportunities to use the Soulful Mirror or other top-ranked magic artifacts, and so on.


    However, to prevent profiteering, the Daoist Academy has regulations stating that exchanges can only be made at the end of the academic year, and each person¡¯s credits can only be used by themselves and cannot be traded.


    Chen Mobai was not particularly concerned about saving his credits.


    He used his credits immediately, exchanging for a batch of Spirit Ascension Powder and Solidifying Qi Liquid.


    The Spirit Ascension Powder was intended for his father, while the Solidifying Qi Liquid was to be sold to Shen Juanxiu.


    Before he made the exchange, he first called this wealthy senior sister, who had acquired Vein Protection Pills this year. Adding the Spirit Ascension Powder that Chen Mobai had obtained previously, she only needed a batch of Solidifying Qi Liquid to complete the Foundation Building Triad.


    Chen Mobai was short on money and Shen Juanxiu needed the exchange, so they quickly came to an agreement over the phone.


    Once back in Red Sandstone City, he took care of this significant deal.


    Since he had notified in advance, Shen Juanxiu was prepared this time with enough Good Deed Points. For each type of the Foundation Building Triad, the Celestial School market price is 800,000 Good Deed Points, but due to high demand, the price tends to be 20% higher.


    Shen Juanxiu directly gave Chen Mobai 1 million Good Deed Points, not only because they have a good relationship, but also because she intends to maintain this connection.


    After all, the last person from Red Sandstone City to enter Dance Tool Dao Academy is now the real person in the red robe.


    Chen Mobai did not refuse, but as he was late in returning, Luan Jingsheng, who he knew from Cinnabarite Institute, had already left the school to go home, so they couldn¡¯t catch up.


    He also brought a basket of Spiritual Fruits to visit the real person in the red robe, but the latter was in seclusion, so they could not meet.


    Not long after returning home, Chen Mobai realized that he probably shouldn¡¯t have come back.


    He had underestimated the impact of being a student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Looking at even more reporters outside his window than when he was accepted into the academy, Chen Mobai sighed.


    He had wanted to invite his high school classmates for a meal, but under the circumstances, he decided not to trouble them.


    So, after two days in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai decided to lay low in Green Mountain Village for a while.


    Of course, before leaving, Chen Mobai made a detour to Red Dawn Institution to give the Spirit Ascension Powder he had exchanged from the Daoist Academy to Chen Xinglan.


    The father and son were naturally overjoyed to see each other.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you too, but I didn¡¯t expect such a pleasant surprise.¡±


    Upon receiving the Spirit Ascension Powder, Chen Xinglan felt a deep sense of emotion.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He had decided that after seeing his wife and son, he would immediately go into closed-door cultivation.


    The family reunion did not last long. To prevent Chen Xinglan¡¯s emotions from fluctuating drastically, Chen Mobai and Tang Panchui quickly took their leave.


    After arriving at Green Mountain Village, Chen Mobai contacted people like Lu Hongsheng, Song Zheng, and Yan Bingxuan to catch up.


    Initially, the high school group had planned to have a meal together, but he could only apologize due to the circumstances.


    At night, Chen Mobai made a call to the last person he hadn¡¯t yet contacted, Qing Nu..

 Chapter 198 - Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Divine Manipulation Technique,

    Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Divine Manipulation Technique,


    Soul Awakening Dao Pill l


    Translator: 549690339


    Qing Nu, however, did not return. She was at the Jumang Daoist Academy with her mentor, involved in the development of a Rank-3 Spiritual Water pond and could not leave.


    At first, Chen Mobai thought that he and she would have nothing to discuss, but as they were chatting, he noticed that it had unexpectedly become late.


    From discussing their cultivation levels to their schoolwork, they eventually spoke of their own circumstances.


    Chen Mobai boasted over the phone about his talent in puppetry and agricultural studies, and talked about how his progress in runes was lagging due to lack of energy.


    He also mentioned how after taking the Fire Clearing Pill she had crafted, his Divine Sense had greatly improved and his Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique had reached completion. Feeling grateful for this, he thanked Qing Nu over the phone.


    In the end, Chen Mobai even admitted that he had tried to comprehend a certain technique, but had gained nothing from it.


    ¡°That technique, huh! It¡¯s indeed a bit difficult to cultivate.¡±


    Qing Nu echoed him on the other side of the call, but Chen Mobai knew she was just trying to comfort him, knowing well that among the four Great Dao Academies, almost 80 to 90% of the students have mastered this technique.


    With Qing Nu¡¯s Blue Female Celestial Spirit talent, even if she didn¡¯t master the technique, it would be effortless for her to establish a foundation.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s so late. You should go to sleep, we can continue the chat when we¡¯re free.¡±


    At this time, Chen Mobai glanced at the clock on the wall and realized it was past 3 in the morning.


    ¡°By the way, I have a small gift for you, remember to check it.¡±


    Qing Nu suddenly said this sentence before hanging up the call.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t think much about it then, but after waiting a few days without receiving anything,


    He remembered that he had not told Qing Nu that he was in Green Mountain Village; she may have sent it to his home in Danxia City.


    Just as Chen Mobai planned to call Qing Nu that night, he received a call from a strange number.


    ¡°Where are you?¡±


    The voice on the phone was somewhat familiar, and after thinking for a while, Chen Mobai realized who it was.


    ¡°Kong Feichen?¡±


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me. My sister asked me to bring a package for you, I¡¯m downstairs at your house.¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered that Kong Feichen had gone to the Imperial Medical Academy, which was located in the same place as the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    He didn¡¯t expect Kong Feichen to come back when Qing Nu had not.


    He wondered if Yang Jing had returned.


    ¡°I¡¯m not home, I¡¯m farming in the countryside.¡±


    ¡°I need to give you this thing personally or I won¡¯t be at ease. Send me your location.¡±


    Kong Feichen didn¡¯t seem very happy, and Chen Mobai felt bad about him having to drive all the way from Danxia City to his current place.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you wait for me at the Red Dawn Institution, I¡¯ll come to you.¡±


    In the end, the two agreed on a place to meet.


    Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled, wondering why the object required face-to-face delivery. Couldn¡¯t it just be sent by mail?


    ¡°Here.¡±


    At the entrance of the Red Dawn Institution, Kong Feichen handed a well-packaged box to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Can I open it now?¡±


    ¡°Whatever.¡±


    Kong Feichen rolled his eyes. Chen Mobai felt he was a bit upset, but he couldn¡¯t help his excitement as he unraveled the small gift from Qing Nu.


    Inside, he found a book and a bottle of medicine.


    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±


    Chen Mobai picked up the book and saw that it had no title. Opening it, there was content inside. He skimmed through it, and it seemed to be a cultivation technique for improving Divine Sense.


    ¡°Divine Manipulation Technique, Soul Awakening Dao Pill!¡±


    Kong Feichen mentioned two terms which Chen Mobai had never heard of before.


    ¡°The package has arrived at your hands, I have to go, so I will take my leave now.¡±


    ¡°Since we have met after a long time, how about I treat you to a meal?¡±


    Chen Mobai felt a bit guilty, after all, for this package, Kong Feichen had to come back from the Linwu Cave and travel from Danxia City to the Red Dawn Institution, surely it was quite troublesome.


    ¡°No need.¡±


    Kong Feichen rejected the offer and left immediately.


    After returning to Green Mountain Village, Chen Mobai first checked out the Cultivation Technique ¡°Divine Manipulation¡± in the National Library of the Immortal Gate, learning about its origins.


    It indeed was a cultivation technique that improves Divine Sense, and seemed to have been specially selected for him.


    Not only could it stabilize his rapidly increased Divine Sense, but it could also seamlessly connect with the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique.


    If mastered, it is said to bring about an out-of-body state of Divine Sense, even before the establishment of the foundation.


    This technique was available on the National Library, but only Rank-3 users could download it.


    Chen Mobai did not know where Qing Nu got it from, but since she could hand it over to him, there must be no restrictions of Dao Heart pledge, it may be issued by the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    Still a bit anxious, he checked it again on the auxiliary cultivation app.


    Then, he found the problem.


    The title of a post read ¡°Divine Manipulation Technique: An improved version of the Devour God Technique, it has been experimented and proven to increase the successful rate of foundation establishment, should it be promoted widely?¡±


    This was an improved version of a forbidden technique.


    Chen Mobai thought of Qing Nu¡¯s teacher and thought of Lan Haitian.


    However, after he was accepted into the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Lan Haitian seemed to have completely forgotten about assigning Chen Mobai the task of observing Qing Nu.


    Although the Divine Manipulation Technique suits him quite well, knowing it might involve a forbidden technique made Chen Mobai uncertain whether he should cultivate it.


    In the end, he decided to put it aside and wait until the next semester when he returns to the Dance Tool Dao Academy to ask Che Yucheng about it.


    He then picked up the bottle of pills, which contained only one pill.


    Kong Feichen had said it was the ¡°Soul Awakening Dao Pill.¡±


    Chen Mobai searched for it online, and although the information was limited, he still found out about its origins.


    It turned out to be a Rank-2 Spirit Pill that can stimulate a lucid state of mind for a day after consumption.


    In this state, the efficiency of practicing techniques or learning knowledge could be significantly enhanced. Even the most obtuse person would have deep understanding and clarity.


    Just like having a spiritual awakening or attaining enlightenment.


    Therefore it is called the ¡°Soul Awakening Dao Pill.¡±


    This spirit pill was exclusive to the Jumang Daoist Academy and could only be exchanged using academic points. One pill cost 15 academic points, making it as precious as the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°The gift you sent me is too precious.¡±


    After understanding the origins of the ¡°Soul Awakening Dao Pill,¡± Chen Mobai felt guilty. He called Qing Nu to see if he could return it.


    ¡°Once exchanged, this thing can¡¯t be returned. If you don¡¯t want it, then I¡¯ll have to give it to my younger brother.¡±


    Qing Nu¡¯s younger brother? Kong Feichen?


    Then I might as well keep it for myself.


    With this thought, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t refuse any further.


    But at that moment, he finally understood why Kong Feichen was a bit upset with him.


    ¡°How about I also send you a small gift?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Eventually, Chen Mobai still felt that the gift from Qing Nu was too precious and felt obliged to respond with a gift of his own.


    ¡°Sure, my dorm address in school is¡­¡±


    Qing Nu cheerfully gave him her dormitory number. They chatted a bit more before Chen Mobai reluctantly hung up the phone.


    He took out all the items he had in his storage bag, figuring out which one was suitable for a girl and should also be of reasonable value.


    In the end, he chose the pair of white jade bells..

 Chapter 199 - Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Thorough Realization !

    Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Thorough Realization !


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai had a number of items in his possession, but the only ones suitable for a woman were a white jade bell and a blue scarf handkerchief.


    However, compared to the gifts that Qing Nu had given him, the blue scarf handkerchief seemed a bit too insignificant.


    After selecting the gifts, Chen Mobai wrapped them up and and was ready to return to Red Sandstone City to send them off.


    Then Cling Nu suddenly sent over a message.


    Kong Feichen was planning to return to the forest cave dwelling ahead of schedule, and he could help to deliver the gifts.


    Although it was a bit embarrassing, it wouldn¡¯t do to trouble multiple people for one task.


    Chen Mobai made another trip to Taixu Mountain, arriving at Red Dawn Institution to hand over the white jade bell to the increasingly impatient Kong Feichen. Kong Feichen didn¡¯t even greet him or thank him but left right away after receiving the bell.


    ¡°Thank you,¡±


    Chen Mobai could only shout at Kong Feichen¡¯s departing back, who didn¡¯t pause for even a single step.


    After returning the gift, Chen Mobai wanted to immediately consume the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, but unfortunately, it just so happened to coincide with the maturity of the Jade Bud Spirit Rice in his seven-acre Spirit Field. He could only postpone it for two more days.


    Using his grandfather¡¯s handheld wheat-harvesting machine, he spent half a day harvesting all the Spirit Rice from his seven-acre field, and then meticulously selected the rice seeds for next year¡¯s cultivation and stored them away.


    As for the rest, he was planning to use it all to brew liquor.


    The brewing yeast has already been prepared, and it was his grandfather¡¯s secret recipe.


    Every family in Green Mountain Village had been farming for generations and brewing liquor, with each family having a unique yeast recipe. However, the yeast of Tang family, the village head¡¯s family, was recognized as the best of them all.


    Once he had chosen a spacious area to lay out the rice for drying, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t wait to return to the Land Yuan Star.


    He was about to consume the Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    To keep people from disturbing this critical stage in his cultivation, he notified his grandparents and mother that he needed to go into isolation for a while. Strangely enough, they were even more anxious than Chen Mobai was and assured him they wouldn¡¯t even allow a mosquito to enter his room.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t bother to choose a special place and simply swallowed the pill on an empty stomach with warm water¡ªas instructed by Qing Nu¡ªright in his own room.


    The effects of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill were truly extraordinary.


    As soon as he consumed it, an inexplicable cleansing stream emerged into his conscious sea, washing over his entire body in the most mysterious organ: the brain. It was as if a gate to the Purple Palace had been opened, triggering an explosion of inspiration, a leap of thought, and an unprecedented lively activity in his Divine Sense.


    He didn¡¯t waste any time and immediately picked up the book on the Secret Technique of Nearing the Realm Limits that he had borrowed from the Dao Academy Library.


    The first thing he read, naturally, was the original text of the Secret Technique of Nearing the Realm Limits.


    The formerly obscure and hard to decipher text was now revealing its hidden secrets behind the veil of mystery.


    After understanding the essence of the text, Chen Mobai was like a man starved for knowledge and quickly read through the entire book.


    After finishing the book, he closed his eyes to recall the words and understanding of the Secret Technique of Nearing the Realm Limits, all of which were clear as a mental imprint.


    Taking a deep breath, he sat cross-legged on his bed.


    Chen Mobai felt he was ready to engage in successful Cultivation, but since his Realm was not yet high enough to attempt Foundation Establishment, he didn¡¯t know whether his understanding was correct or not.


    However, he could try it with the Two Forces Technique.


    Under the influence of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, Chen Mobai¡¯s thoughts were remarkably active.


    He closed his eyes and recollect his memory of the Two Forces Technique, which he had embedded in his mind. The archaic text, that he previously only partially understood, was now translated by his brain into the simplest and most easily understood language, which he fully comprehended.


    He then recalled the Immortal Longevity Technique and the Qi Cultivating Chapter of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    The two Qi Cultivation Techniques, which he thought he had thoroughly understood before, had deeper layers of understanding in this state.


    He found that although he had previously used the practicing human puppet to deduce the most suitable route for his Spiritual Root constitution, he didn¡¯t understand why he had to change it like that.


    He had just been passively using the results of the practice human puppet¡¯s deduction.


    But now, Chen Mobai had completely understood it all.


    So that¡¯s how it is.


    Chen Mobai had a moment of realization. The vortex of Five Elements Cultivation spiritual power in his Qi Sea, which he had originally thought would take half a year to completely transform, dissolved in a split second, transforming into strands of extremely pure spiritual power that integrated into the green spirit force of the Longevity Cultivation Technique.


    Qj Cultivating Eight!


    Although this realm breakthrough was early, it happened naturally as if water was flowing into a canal.


    At the same time, he could clearly see every single detail of his two Qi cultivation techniques at this realm before foundation establishment.


    The same happened with the Dual Phase Cultivation Technique as well.


    This secret technique from the Five Elements Sect had been thoroughly understood by him word by word and sentence by sentence.


    In his Qi Sea, the green spirit force of the Longevity Cultivation resided where the vortex of the Five Elements Cultivation used to be, with the flame of the Pure Yang spiritual power enclosed at its center, similar to the picture Che Yucheng had


    demonstrated with the Identityless Puppet.


    The Wood Fire spiritual powers were clearly distinguished but formed a clear connection under the control of Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense.


    With a movement of his divine sense, the Dual Phase Cultivation Technique operated.


    Suddenly, a streak of the Longevity Spiritual Power¡¯s green vortex infused into the Pure Yang flame.


    In a moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s Pure Yang Scroll realm, which he had intentionally stopped cultivating before, also broke through to Qi Cultivating Six.


    The Dual Phase Cultivation Technique was also accomplished!


    Feeling the decline in his the Longevity Cultivation Technique¡¯s realm due to the birth of the Pure Yang spiritual power, Chen Mobai immediately took a dose of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    He didn¡¯t waste any time afterward and immediately began to disconnect the connection between the two, using his latest understanding of the Limit Technique.


    However, he found that his theoretical understanding and practical application were somewhat different.


    But Chen Mobai didn¡¯t panic. Being in the state of ¡°Soul Awakening and Dao Enlightenment,¡± he was unprecedentedly calm.


    After recalling all the details, he thought he¡¯d found the reason for the errors.


    The Limit Technique was created for foundation establishment after all. If he wanted to disconnect the Dual Phase Technique, he needed to make some corresponding modifications, just like when he used the performing puppet to adapt the Longevity Cultivation Technique to himself.


    Che Yucheng must have known this, but he didn¡¯t anticipate that Chen Mobai would master the Dual Phase Technique and the Limit Technique within a year, so he didn¡¯t mention it in advance.


    Chen Mobai began to recall everything he had read about the Limit Technique in the Dao Academy Library.


    Soon, he thought of the borrowed ¡°Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret¡± book.


    An hour passed, and Chen Mobai showed a look of thorough comprehension on his face.


    He took a sigh, and opened his eyes with a vacant look.


    The left eye was shining with green light, and the right eye was golden.


    He had also accomplished the original framework of the Limit Technique, ¡°Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret¡±.


    He had disconnected the Longevity Cultivation Technique and the Pure Yang Scroll that were originally linked.


    Looking out the window, it was already completely dark outside.


    The clock on the wall showed that it was 434 am.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He had taken the Soul Awakening Dao Pill at 12:00 noon, and unbeknownst to him, half a day had already passed.


    There were still seven hours left before the medicine took effect, so he couldn¡¯t waste it.


    Having achieved his goal in advance, Chen Mobai took out the Divine Manipulation Technique which he had prepared and set aside.


    Next to the Divine Manipulation Technique, there was a thick stack of textbooks from the first to the tenth grade of the Dance Tool Dao Academy talisman and inscription course.


    A total of thirty books, from rank-1 to rank-3 knowledge of talismans and inscriptions, were all included..

 Chapter 200 - Chapter 200: Chapter 200 Return to Daoist Academy 1

    Chapter 200: Chapter 200 Return to Daoist Academy 1


    Translator: 549S909RQ               J¡ª


    At twelve o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Chen Mobai, looking utterly fatigued, put down his third-grade talisman textbook.


    Then his vision blurred, nearly passing out.


    He had never realized studying could be such a painful task.


    If it weren¡¯t for not wanting to waste the medicinal power of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, he would never have forced himself to study for an entire day and night.


    After a full twenty-four hours of high-intensity brain activity, Chen Mobai felt entirely drained.


    His brain felt empty, his body powerless, and even the spiritual energy circulation in his Dantian Qi Sea started to slightly lag.


    Chen Mobai immediately stamped himself with a ¡°Resurrection Talisman¡±.


    After quite a while, his physical fatigue finally recovered.


    However, the emptiness of his sea of knowledge made Chen Mobai hallucinate, causing him to see mirages.


    Since he had told his grandparents that he would be in seclusion for several days, sensing that something was wrong with himself, Chen Mobai no longer held back and directly went to bed, falling into a deep sleep.


    He slept like the end of the world, waking up to see it was still dark outside.


    He picked up his phone and checked the date.


    Turned out, he had slept for a full seven days and seven nights.


    Chen Mobai massaged his still bulging temples, got up from the bed and couldn¡¯t help but phone Qing Nu.


    The effect of this ¡°Soul Awakening Dao Pill¡± was just too good.


    In comparison to his gains, the minor after-effects of this seven-day sleep were practically non-existent.


    However, Qing Nu carefully asked about Chen Mobai¡¯s experience taking the pill, and when she found out he had slept for seven days, she quickly hung up to consult her mentor.


    Only after confirming this was normal did she finally relax.


    However, through this consultation, she realized that each student could only exchange for one of these pills, and after taking it, they couldn¡¯t take another for ten years.


    Qing Nu didn¡¯t care about the first half of this rule because she didn¡¯t need the ¡°Soul Awakening Dao Pill¡±.


    But as for the second half, she quickly warned Chen Mobai not to take a second one within ten years.


    Chen Mobai felt a bit regretful after hearing this.


    Though the emptiness and fatigue after the state of Soul Awakening made him uncomfortable, the feeling of comprehending everything was simply superb.


    Deep down, he was considering whether he should take several more to develop himself into an all-round cultivator.


    Under the effect of this pill, Chen Mobai had not only fully grasped all the knowledge regarding rank-i talismans, but he even understood some about the rank-2 ones.


    If he was now asked to draw a Red Flame Three Sword Talisman, he felt that as long as he experimented a few times, he would be successful.


    ¡°For the next half a year, you¡¯d better not use up your Divine Sense too much.¡±


    Qing Nu advised, and because it was time for her to guard the medicinal pool, she had to hang up.


    ¡°Alright, did you receive the thing?¡±


    ¡°I did ¨C a beautiful bell. I really like it.¡±


    ¡°As long as you¡¯re happy.¡±


    ¡°If only¡­¡±


    Qing Nu¡¯s final words went unsaid as she herself hung up.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t think much about it. His brain was still foggy from the after-effects of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, barely awake, he lay down and fell asleep again.


    When he awoke from this sleep, he finally felt energized.


    After stepping out from seclusion, he demonstrated his Qi Cultivation level of rank eight in front of his grandparents and Tang Panchui, indicating a tremendous success of his seclusion.


    The three family members were, of course, extremely happy. Grandma even killed an old hen, and Grandpa brought out a jar of aged yellow wine that he had buried five years ago.


    As for Tang Panchui, she could not help but show off in the village, telling everyone about their son¡¯s achievements.


    Auntie, you wouldn¡¯t believe my son¡­¡±


    By the time Chen Mobai and his grandfather were enjoying a small drink, news of him breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation at the age of twenty had already spread throughout Green Mountain Village.


    Soon, Chen Mobai found it difficult to stay in Green Mountain Village any longer.


    This was because many neighbors were bringing their children along with fine wines and rice, hoping that Chen Mobai would take their children as disciples.


    He himself was only in the Qi Cultivating Realm, he didn¡¯t dare to mislead others.


    But the villagers were too enthusiastic. Even after he refused, they still brought their children to him every day, making Chen Mobai feel like he had returned to Red Sandstone City.


    Hence, Chen Mobai told his grandparents. While keeping his mom back to divert attention, he immediately bought a ticket back to Crimson City Grotto.


    One night, without letting his grandfather drive him, he drew two Godspeed Talismans and left Green Mountain Village directly.


    In this way, he stayed at home for less than half a month before returning to the Daoist Academy.


    As soon as he returned, Chen Mobai found that Ming Yuhua had returned even earlier than him.


    About half of their class had already returned.


    At the school gate, several people from the Metaphysical Class got together for a meal, and they discussed their homecoming experiences, which were all very similar.


    Chen Mobai finally understood why most of the students at Dance Tool Dao Academy chose to stay in Crimson Mountain during the holidays.


    The reason was not that they were hardworking, but because it was quiet here.


    ¡°Old Chen, this wine tastes good.¡±


    Ming Yuhua was drinking the yellow wine that Chen Mobai¡¯s grandfather had given him before he left.


    Although this jar had only been aged for two years, due to the excellent yeast used and the quality of Water Clear Rice, the wine was very satisfying to drink, even though it wasn¡¯t fully aged.


    The wine was clear and transparent, with a rich aroma and sweet, delightful flavor. Plus, it didn¡¯t make you drunk instantly. After a while, a robust flavor spread in the stomach, making one slightly tipsy.


    However, this yellow wine had quite a punch, but the next day you would feel extremely refreshed and comfortable.


    It felt as if all the muscles and bones had been activated and the blood was flowing smoothly.


    The efficiency of refining Spirit Qi even increased by one percent.


    This yellow wine, if sold in Tianhe Realm, would cost at least five spirit stones a jar.


    Chen Mobai had tried Qi Rui¡¯s Jade Bud Spirit Wine, which cost one spirit stone for a small jar. It was not as good as his own.


    He thought that once he achieved Qi Cultivation Perfection, he could consider farming, brewing wine, and selling it to earn spirit stones.


    Of course, first, he needed to improve his brewing skills.


    Even though he had his grandfather¡¯s yeast, he was not using Water Clear Rice, but Yubud Lingmi rice from Giant Tree Ridge, so the taste of the wine might be different.


    However, Chen Mobai believed that with the abundant Spirit Qi in Giant Tree Ridge, even if his skills were a bit lacking, the brewed wine would still not be too bad.


    ¡°By the way, Old Wang, aren¡¯t you from the Alchemy Department? Do you have any extra Qi-replenishing Spiritual Water that you can sell to me?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai asked a young man named Wang Xingyu in the Metaphysical Class.


    ¡°As much as you want, it¡¯s simple to make.¡±


    Wang Xingyu, after drinking Chen Mobai¡¯s wine, was flushed and confidently guaranteed.


    The Qi-replenishing Spirit Water that Qing Nu had made for Chen Mobai before going to Jumang Daoist Academy was all used up. Now she was following a good mentor and had many opportunities to improve her Alchemy, so she didn¡¯t need to rely on selling Spirit Water.


    Of course, even if Qing Nu agreed, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to disturb her time anymore..

 Chapter 201 - Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Wine Brewing_l

    Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Wine Brewing_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Wang Xingyu was proven by the No-Form puppet simulation to be a novice who was unsuitable for Cultivating Participating Together.


    However, he was a man of strong resolve and relying not only on his talents managed to enter the preliminary stage of Cultivating Participating Together, but also following Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s example, transformed a Rank-3 magic artifact handed down in his family into his own object of participation.


    The artifact was a copper bowl, capable of containing all the waters of the world.


    Furthermore, it could be used as a medicine pool to refine Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, which was doubly efficient.


    But according to the result of the No-Form puppet simulation, the best object of participation for Wang Xingyu should be the Flying Sword Tool. However, this was his own choice, as a Rank-3 magic artifact was more tantalizing compared to a Rank-2 flying sword which he could have obtained.


    Chen Mobai who had just secured a million Good Deed Points from Shen Juanxiu, had plenty of funds on hand so he approached Wang Xingyu and reserved a hundred bottles of high-grade Rank-1 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    If it weren¡¯t for the product¡¯s expiration date, he would have been tempted to purchase an entire year¡¯s supply.


    ¡°Chen, don¡¯t embarrass yourself in the makeup exam.¡±


    Upon parting, Ming Yuhua teased Chen Mobai.


    Of the entire Metaphysical Class, only Chen Mobai failed one subject, making him the butt of the joke for the entire vacation.


    ¡°I was careless last year and did not revise, but this year, I devoted myself to studying the textbooks on talismans at home. I can assure you there will be no problems.¡±


    Chen Mobai was brimming with confidence as he spoke.


    ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s good, but if you still fail the makeup exam, you¡¯ll probably be the laughing stock of the seniors for a whole year.¡±


    Ming Yuhua laughed heartily as he patted Chen Mobai on the shoulder, after which they all parted at the school gate.


    Like Chen Mobai, two others had rented separate cave dwellings outside the school.


    After returning to the little wooden hut he had been away from for a long time, Chen Mobai made a trip to the Tianhe Realm.


    After checking on the grain he had dried, and verifying that it hadn¡¯t been poached by birds and insects, he returned, well satisfied.


    In two more days when the drying was just right, he could remove the husk.


    He had already bought the tool needed for husk removal, a versatile version valued at 2000 Good Deed Points.


    The Daoist Academy had this tool too and with his standing with Lin Wenkang, borrowing it would have been easy.


    However, he considered that he might establish his future in the Tianhe Realm and decided it would be better to own one.


    Apart from the husk removal tool, he had also bought various tools for brewing wine.


    After placing an order for the necessary items, Chen Mobai began to focus on his studies.


    In university, those who fail a subject have one chance to retake the exam at the beginning of the next semester. Having failed the Talisman course, Chen Mobai had become a laughing stock and his title of ¡°The Sleeper¡± was barely holding up.


    He had planned to diligently revise the Talisman course during the vacation, even without the Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    Now, though he had thoroughly understood all textbook knowledge from the first and second grades, and had learnt parts of the third grade¡¯s content, he feared the examiner might set a tricky question on a talisman that was not in the textbooks.


    As he was revising, he experienced how much his classmates cared about him.


    Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu, both Talisman course toppers, after learning that he had returned, actually took the initiative to bring him their notes and even offered him tutoring.


    This moved Chen Mobai and he opened another jar of wine he had brought from Green Mountain Village and had a good drink with them.


    ¡°Class Leader Si, Member Zhuang, don¡¯t worry, I will definitely pass the makeup exam.¡±


    ¡°I had a deep realisation during the vacation that I took the Talisman classes too lightly. This year, I will definitely buckle down and work hard. I won¡¯t be dragging the class behind anymore.¡±


    Hearing the sincere words from Chen Mobai, Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu remained skeptical.


    It¡¯s because they had also begun to question Chen Mobai¡¯s actual abilities.


    ¡°Alright, if you have this motivation then we have nothing to worry about. There are still five others who failed, we also need to check on them.¡±


    After emptying their bottles, Si Guanyu did not forget his duties as the class leader.


    The questions from last year were quite difficult. Apart from three who had pulled strings and failed, including Chen Mobai, two others also faced the same predicament and had to retake the tests.


    Since a lot of people in their class had failed, Chen Mobai¡¯s failure wasn¡¯t as conspicuous. Otherwise, his reputation as ¡°The Sleeper¡± would have been exposed long ago.


    The failing students were all from their class, so Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan said they would show concern to all who needed it, before they took their leave.


    As Chen Mobai returned to the Daoist Academy in advance, with half a month left until the makeup exam, when studying, he first dehusked the Spirit Rice crop he had planted on the Giant Tree Ridge and brewed wine from it.


    In the meantime, under the leadership of Lu Jun from the Spirit Plant Department, he took charge of the Spirit Vein at Small Yang Ridge.


    Last year, the fellow disciple who had cultivated the medicine field here, after Lu Jing had settled the contribution points for the two acres of Dew Grass, took a hint from Lu Jing¡¯s implied dissatisfaction with the lack of yield and tactfully packed his tools and left.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, the surroundings within twenty miles is now your territory.¡±


    Lu Jun, who had played the bad guy, cheerfully handed over the former cultivator¡¯s Mountain Formation to Chen Mobai on the spot.


    This was a Rank-2 Formation. In combination with the Spirit Vein of the Small Yang Ridge, it could hold back attacks from a Foundation Establishment cultivator for a while.


    ¡°Thank you Elder Brother Lu. This jar of spirit wine is brewed by me before I joined the sect. You can take it back and give it a try.¡±


    The wine that Chen Mobai gave as a gift was naturally from Green Mountain Village.


    All the wine his grandfather brewed, as long as it was for sale, bore the signature of its maker. He cleared it completely, benefiting from having two storage bags.


    After buying his family¡¯s wine, he also picked some good ones from other families in the village and bought them. A hundred jars in total, they filled the storage bag.


    The wine given to Lu Jun was naturally one of the good ones.


    Like the one he had drunk with Ming Yuhua a few days ago, it was a two-year-old yellow wine.


    This was the best Chen Mobai could buy. The others with more years of age, the villagers kept for themselves or for when guests came to visit.


    The ones they sold were newly brewed in the most recent two years.


    ¡°Alright, thank you, Junior Brother Chen.¡±


    Lu Jun thought Chen Mobai was just being polite and cheerfully left with the jar of wine.


    After two days, Qi Rui and Xi Jinghuo, who had received a message, also came to Small Yang Ridge.


    Upon meeting, Chen Mobai was naturally generous.


    He directly opened five jars of good wine and enjoyed themselves to the fullest.


    ¡°Good wine, Junior Brother Chen is really generous.¡±


    Qi Rui was a wine lover. As soon as the jar was opened, he knew from the aroma that this wine was special. It was not at all in the same league as what he usually drank.

    ¡°You¡¯re about to participate in the sect¡¯s grand competition. This meal is to wish you success. I hope you can make it into the top 24 and be promoted to the true teachings.¡±


    There¡¯s a grand competition in the Divine Wood Sect every year, and all Qi Cultivation disciples below sixty years of age can participate.


    Qi Rui was already at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, and as part of the Talisman Production Department¡¯s structure, naturally he wouldn¡¯t give up the chance to become a student of the true teachings in view of the batch of Foundation building pills ten years later.


    Xi Jinghuo also signed up to participate for self-improvement.


    Only Chen Mobai felt that his level was not enough and didn¡¯t want to waste talismans and time, and directly chose to give up..

 Chapter 202 - Chapter 202: Chapter 202: The Awakening of the Sleeperi

    Chapter 202: Chapter 202: The Awakening of the Sleeperi


    Translator: 549690339 1


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take your word for it.¡±


    Qi Rui cheerfully gulped down more than half a jug of wine.


    ¡°By the way, Qi Brother, is there a platform for betting on the Sect¡¯s Grand Competition within the sect?¡±


    Qi Rui, halfway through his drink, choked on Chen Mobai¡¯s question. Both he and Xi Jinghuo widened their eyes, looking at the latter.


    ¡°What are you planning?¡±


    ¡°Just asking.¡±


    From their reaction, it was clear there wasn¡¯t such a place. Chen Mobai was a little disappointed.


    After this round of drinks, the three marveled at Small Yang Ridge. Even for a true disciple, the sect only assigned Rank-2 high-grade Spiritual Vein Cave Dwellings.


    The fact that Chen Mobai was assigned such a spiritual land just by joining the Spirit Plant Division showed how much emphasis was put on him.


    The Sect¡¯s Grand Competition was coming soon.


    Despite being at the 9th level of Qi cultivation, Qi Rui had newly advanced. His sword techniques and talismans were not as good as the other seasoned cultivators at the peak of Qi Cultivation. Though he fought hard and made it into the top fifty, he still fell before reaching the True Disciples.


    As for Xi Jinghuo, he didn¡¯t even make it into the top three hundred.


    Having carefully observed the Sect¡¯s Grand Competition, Chen Mobai was in awe of the duel techniques of the Tianhe Realm cultivators. If he participated, even among those in the same realm, he would probably rank at the bottom. ¡¯ Once the new year had passed, it was time for the Daoist Academy to start school.


    There was one thing left to do before the term: the resit exam.


    Chen Mobai relaxed as soon as he saw the exam questions.


    The question setter seemed to have shown mercy, simply asking them to draw a Rank-1 high-grade ¡°Thunder-Summoning Talisman¡±.


    This was a talisman that had been emphasized in the first-grade textbook.


    Chen Mobai picked up his Green Bamboo Pen, spread out the Rank-i talisman paper provided in the examination hall, and closed his eyes to recall the details. After about three minutes, he drew the talisman in one go with his pen confidently immersed in ink.


    After drawing, he injected spiritual power into the talisman to confirm that it could be activated.


    To avoid any mishaps, he took another two pieces of Rank-1 talisman paper and drew two more ¡°Thunder-Summoning Talismans,¡± all of which were successful.


    Teacher, can I hand in my paper now?¡±


    The invigilator, who had just sat down, checked his watch¡ªit had only been ten minutes.


    In universities, especially the top four Daoist academies, handing in papers early was normal.


    After all, some geniuses are just too extraordinary to waste their precious time. The two invigilators came over to Chen Mobai, checked the three ¡°Thunder-Summoning Talismans¡± he had drawn, and found that their quality was just as good as the ones they could draw.


    They checked the student¡¯s information in the top left corner.


    So, he was that Chen Mobai!


    These two teachers also taught talisman-related elective courses. They naturally heard of this name and initially thought it was just a rumor. But now it seemed that he really was a genius.


    ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no problem. You¡¯ve passed the resit exam.¡±


    Since the number of people was small, the talisman course resit exam was graded on the spot. After the two invigilators agreed unanimously, Chen Mobai completed the resit exam with full marks.


    His academic points increased by three points.


    However, these three points could only be used to exchange for spiritual objects at the end of this semester.


    The other students in the exam room were surprised at Chen Mobai. Of the five students from their grade who failed, and those from higher grades who had been failing until now, all of them felt the gap in talent when they saw the handsome young man leaving casually.


    They all studied during the holiday break, so why did he become so impressive?


    Could this be the ¡¯¡¯Sleeper¡± after awakening?


    After seeing the resit exam results, Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan felt a bit of pressure.


    Perhaps it¡¯s just that the predicted test question was spot on.¡±


    Seeing the slightly nervous Zhuang Jialan, Siguanyu couldn¡¯t help trying to comfort her.


    Then, as the results of the first monthly test for this term¡¯s Rune class came out, he too started to feel uneasy.


    The top scorer in the Gathering Dust rune test is Chen Mobai.¡±


    The teacher of their Rune class was Xu Xiu. He handed the perfect score Gathering Dust rune to Chen Mobai with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.


    Very good. Last year I assessed your level accurately. Choosing that specific question to fail you was indeed the correct move. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have studied so hard this term.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who was in high spirits after scoring first, was taken aback by Xu Xiu¡¯s words, staring at his teacher in disbelief.


    How could a teacher behave like this!


    However, Xu Xiu, believing in his high teaching skills, gave a wave of his hand, signaling Chen Mobai to leave.


    ¡°Second place, Siguanyu.¡±


    ¡°Third place, Zhuang Jialan.¡±


    The class president and the student committee member still had close scores, but they were no longer alternating first and second places and even throughout the entire term, they never achieved the top score again.


    Under the provocative teaching methods of Xu Xiu, Chen Mobai, under the watchful eyes of all his classmates, took the first place in all six-month exams in the first half of the year.


    In fact, he could have continued to top the list until the final exam, leading with twelve straight wins.


    But something happened at home, forcing him to take leave and return home.


    Upon reaching sixty years old, Chen Xinglan had no choice but to mobilize his spiritual power and start Foundation Establishment.


    The Alchemy department of the Divine Wood Sect hadn¡¯t yet come out to refine Foundation Building Pills, Chen Mobai even made a quick trip back to the Water Mansion and brought back the Array Plate inlaid with a high-grade Spirit Stone, intending to exchange it once a Foundation Building Pill became available, but things didn¡¯t go as planned.


    In the end, he still couldn¡¯t wait.


    After reaching the eighth level of Qi Cultivation, Chen Mobai used the


    Foundation Establishment treasure to help his father predict the success rate of the Foundation Establishment, which was just 14.5%.


    The reality proved that this prediction was accurate.


    Chen Xinglan failed in his Foundation Establishment.


    However, the good news was that Chen Xinglan did not risk everything to try.


    After the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow process, he felt that his ability to Condense Qi into Liquid was already difficult. He thought of his family and decisively chose to give up the transformation.


    At the cost of harming himself, he stopped the Foundation Establishment process.


    When the door of the Cave Dwelling opened from inside, Chen Mobai saw his father looking weak but still alive and well, without serious damage to his Elemental Energy.


    ¡°Alright, stop crying. There are many ups and downs in life, but having Mobai as my son is enough to make me satisfied.¡±


    After Chen Xinglan came out, seeing Tang Panchui crying uncontrollably, he couldn¡¯t help but console her gently.


    ¡°Older brother, I¡¯m glad you¡¯re okay.¡±


    Aside from Chen Mobai¡¯s family, second Aunt Chen Yulan and Chen Baolan, his younger uncle, also came.


    After gathering for two days at their home in Red Sandstone City, Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui went to Green Mountain Village.


    He hadn¡¯t visited his in-laws in two years because of the Foundation Establishment process.

    ¡¯¡¯Son, once I¡¯m healed in Green Mountain Village, I¡¯ll take your mom on a trip around various Immortal Sects. You focus on studying hard at Dance Tool Dao Academy and don¡¯t worry about us.¡±


    Seeing his father being so open-minded, all Chen Mobai could do was nod.


    But seeing his father¡¯s stooping figure as he left, he resolved in his heart that he had to succeed in establishing his Foundation.


    When he returned to the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai began to study even more diligently.


    For the remaining Rune class monthly exams and the final exam, he ended the second grade with all top scores..

 Chapter 203 - Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Another Year’s Harvest_l

    Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Another Year¡¯s Harvest_l


    Translator: 549690339


    By the second year, the caliber of new students in Chen Mobai¡¯s batch had become pretty clear.


    Although they were prodigies produced by the 36 celestial caves and 72 blessed lands of the Immortal Sect, there was a hierarchy among them as well.


    Most people initially thought that Chen Mobai, a student from a minor blessed land who only made it into one of the four major Daoist Academies by barely meeting the score cut-off due to the expanded enrolment, would be the bottom of the barrel. Unexpectantly, however, he managed to make quite an impressive reputation for himself among this group of geniuses.


    Aside from the calligraphy and talisman course in the second semester, Chen Mobai also ranked first in all the other Puppetry Agriculture Studies courses.


    As a result, his moniker ¡®the awakened sleeper¡¯ started to echo amongst his batch and even came to the knowledge of the seniors and faculty members.


    Besides Chen Mobai, other students also outshone the crowd by displaying their extraordinary talent and brilliance.


    For instance, Ming Yuhua, who ranked first in artifact refining, Yunyang Bing, the top-ranked formation master, Wang Xingyu, the top alchemist, Lu Zixuan, the leading beast tamer, and Zhai Jianbai, who held the first place in sword training, etc¡­


    Chen Mobai was also included among these, being collectively referred to as one of the ¡°Top Ten Dancers¡± of their Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s class of 5012. To this, Chen Mobai only responded with a dismissive laugh.


    These were mere reputations. Only reaching the Foundation Establishment stage could be considered a real achievement.


    Even combining all the reputations of the ¡°Top Ten Dancers¡±, it wouldn¡¯t amount to a fraction of Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s formidable standing. Once you mentioned you are a classmate of Zhongli Tianyu within the Immortal Sect, most people would look at you in awe.


    It was in this year that Zhongli Tianyu had another breakthrough, reaching the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage.


    In his hands, ¡°The Union of Differences¡± was radiating luminosity it had never before, leading some to speculate that he might approach the threshold of Core Formation before hitting sixty.


    Some of the seniors and older students who were cultivating in seclusion in the back mountain of Crimson City could not help but come out to witness this prodigy from the Daoist Academy, potentially the most outstanding Real Path Seed in hundreds of years.


    While everyone¡¯s attention was drawn to Zhongli Tianyu entering the back mountains, Chen Mobai quietly picked up his end-term report card and left the Daoist Academy.


    He did not return to Red Sandstone City.


    Since his parents were out traveling, although he longed to catch up with close friends like Lu Hongsheng, after not seeing them for two years, Chen Mobai could feel their figures gradually fading from his memory.


    He made a call to Qing Nu who he was still in touch with and finding out he would not be returning to Red Sandstone City that year, she felt relieved.


    She was busy preparing for the Rank-2 Alchemist certification exam and had to self-study at least a dozen related books during the holidays. After learning that Chen Mobai would not return, she had no reason to return to Red Sandstone City and could focus on studying.


    ¡°Wishing you all the best and success in your examination.¡±


    Chen Mobai ended the call with Qing Nu smiling, but inwardly, he was amazed at how fast the Heavenly Spiritual Root progressed.


    He knew that thanks to the effects of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, he had managed to pass the Rank-1 Talisman Maker exam in one go this year. However, to pass the Rank-2 exam, he would probably need to study for several more years, or probably even after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, before he could confidently pass.


    In contrast to the strict examinations of the Immortal Sect¡¯s Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, the Tianhe Realm was widely regarded as being lenient and having almost no threshold.


    As long as you could refine any Rank-2 talisman, you could call yourself a Rank-2 Talisman Maker.


    According to these standards, Chen Mobai was already a Rank-2 Talisman Maker.


    However, in the Tianhe Realm, he had suffered a lot and did not reveal this fact.


    That year, Chen Mobai primarily focused his energies and attention on his studies at the Daoist Academy. However, thanks to the effects of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, he saved a lot of study time and did not slack off at the Divine Wood Sect.


    He cultivated the two acres of medicinal fields and twenty-six Spirit Fields under his name excellently.


    After all, contribution points from the sect are needed to exchange for Foundation Building Pills in the future. The contribution from these fields is tenfold the rewards of regular missions. While Chen Mobai has enough resources and time, he also puts this matter in mind.


    It is naturally impossible for one person to take care of so many Spirit Fields alone, but Chen Mobai has not forgotten that he is part of the Spirit Plant Division.


    He launched a mission through the Spirit Plant Division to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to recruit three people to care for the Spirit Fields. Their Cultivation Level was irrelevant; all they needed was to have cultivated Spiritual Power to activate the Azure Light Formation and ward off birds and animals.


    After all, the main tasks of plowing, sowing, fertilizing, rainfall, bug removal, and harvesting will all be completed by him.


    He offered a compensation of 15 Spirit Stones for this task, which is considered low. Nevertheless, two Rank-2 Qi Cultivation and one Rank-3 Qi Cultivation disciples from the Divine Wood Sect took it up.


    Chen Mobai himself took care of the two acres of medicine field and two acres of spirit field at Small Yang Ridge. The remaining twenty-four acres of spirit fields are just distributed in three places, with one disciple taking care of each. He was not selfish either. When it came to sowing, transplanting seedlings, and even during rainfall and insecticide, he always held the attitude of guiding them and generously demonstrated it in front of the three Divine Wood Sect disciples.


    However, he kept the key piece of information about the fertilizer, which was brought from the immortal gate, a secret from them.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, another year of good harvest.¡±


    With the guidance of Chen Mobai, Lu Jun and Teng Jie have harvested all the two acres of the medicinal field and nineteen acres of the spirit field under the name of the Spirit Plant Division. Due to the large yield, both of them were busy for three full days before they finished the task.


    ¡°Both Senior Brothers have worked hard. Come, have a drink before you leave.¡±


    ¡°Junior Brother Teng, this is the Spirit Wine that Inspector Sun couldn¡¯t stop praising after he drank it last time. We are in for a treat.¡±


    The jar of wine that Lu Jun took from Chen Mobai last time, after tasting it, he was ecstatic and immediately forwarded it to his superior, Sun Gaochang. The latter was also a wine lover; after drinking, he directly sought Chen Mobai to buy all his stock.


    But Chen Mobai was also aware that scarcity adds value. He only took out ten jars of wine and was not thinking about Spirit Stones, but directly gave it to this inspector of the Spirit Plant Division.


    However, Sun Gaochang was particularly serious. After taking the wine, he directly gave one intermediate-grade Spirit Stone.


    ¡°We from Reward Virtue Hall value clean accounts the most. If this account is not cleared at the beginning, it will become increasingly difficult to clear in the future. If it turns into a debt of gratitude, it might even cost lives, so I must give this Spirit Stone.¡±


    After he said this, Sun Gaochang took away the ten jars of wine and left.


    It is through this that Chen Mobai feels that Sun Gaochang, this Foundation Establishment Elder who looks like a smiling tiger, is a good backing to seek.


    In the Tianhe realm, Spirit Wine is not developed at all.


    The Green Mountain Yeast from Chen Mobai¡¯s hometown can brew Rank-2 Spirit Wine at the most.


    When used on Jade Bud Lingmi in the Divine Wood Sect, due to its abundant spiritual energy, although the variety is unexceptional, the brewed Spirit Wine barely diminishes in comparison to Green Mountain Wine.


    The one Lu Jun and his companion were drinking was the Jade Bud Spirit Wine he brewed at the beginning of the year.

    After the two had finished drinking, they opened another jar of Green Mountain Wine. After comparison, they found that each had its own flavor.


    Jade Bud Spirit Wine is strong, Green Mountain Yellow Wine is mellow.


    After the reception, the three of them settled the yield of Lingmi, and there were 3,000 more contribution points in Chen Mobai¡¯s account.


    Among them, there are 2650 points for Jade Bud Spirit Rice and 350 points for the two acres of Dew Grass.


    Comparatively, indeed, the harvest from planting Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicine is more. No wonder even with tenfold contribution from farming in the Divine Wood Sect, everyone is still flocking to the medicine fields, and almost no one cares about the Spirit Fields..

 Chapter 204 - Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Qi Cultivation Level 9 1

    Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Qi Cultivation Level 9 1

    ¡°Teacher Luo, I want to exchange for a ¡®Qi-Breaking Pill¡¯.¡±


    In the treasure house office of building one on Crimson Mountain, Chen Mobai handed over his student card to the squinty-eyed, short, and fat teacher in front of him.


    ¡°It¡¯s three credits per pill, do you want to exchange for anything else? You only get one chance per semester.¡±


    At the end of the term, students can exchange their credits for items from the treasure house of Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    Last year, Chen Mobai exchanged for two items from the three treasures of Foundation Establishment. This year, since he doesn¡¯t lack Good Deed Points and Chen Xinglan failed in her Foundation Establishment, he only intended to exchange for the ¡°Qi-Breaking Pill¡± that he had set his sights on long ago. ¡°That¡¯s it, thank you, Teacher Luo.¡±


    After swiping his student card, Chen Mobai took a medicine pill wrapped in foil that looked rather shabby.


    After leaving Building one, he headed directly to Building nine.


    This is a cave dwelling specially set up by the Dance Tool Daoist Academy for students to cultivate.


    Chen Mobai reluctantly paid for a room with a lower-grade Rank-3 Spirit Vein. The door of one of the cave dwellings instantly opened, and he immediately went in.


    Sitting cross-legged on a dull-looking cushion, he took a deep breath as he felt the surrounding unprecedented rich spiritual energy washing over him. However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t waste any time and immediately took out his modelling puppet from his storage bag.


    After inserting a Spirit Stone, he skillfully entered various conditions. Then he pressed the start button to begin the simulation of his breakthrough to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    After confirming for the second time that there were no issues, he put away the puppet and opened the packaging of the Qi-Breaking Pill.


    This pill is the best breakthrough pill for the Qi Cultivation stage. After taking it, there is an 80 to 90 percent chance of breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation, and a 50 percent chance of breaking through to the ninth level.


    Thanks to Wang Xingyu¡¯s unlimited supply of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, Chen Mobai finally reached the bottleneck of the eighth level of Qi Cultivation a few days ago.


    Most people at this point would certainly polish for a while, preferably to break through naturally.


    In technical terms, this means laying a solid foundation, which ensures a better chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment in the future.


    However, Chen Mobai strongly believes in Qing Ping¡¯s words- once you reach a bottleneck, you should try every means to break through as soon as possible.


    A solid foundation and profound realm are just comforting words for those who can¡¯t break through.


    The bottleneck is the weakest at the beginning. Once it drags on, it will become more and more solid and harder to break.


    Qing Ping is a great master of the Nascent Soul realm, his words couldn¡¯t be false.


    Therefore, as soon as Chen Mobai perceived that he had reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Cultivation, he immediately looked for a method to breakthrough, and the simplest one was naturally medication.


    Conveniently, the Treasure House of Dance Tool Daoist Academy had a Qi-Breaking Pill¡±, so he directly exchanged it with his own credits.


    After running the Longevity Invocation for one cycle and confirming that he was in peak state, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately swallowed the Qi-Breaking Pill in his hand.


    Three days later.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes, his face filled with joy.


    He had broken through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    The result from the puppet model was correct. Due to the medicinal effect of the Qi-Breaking Pill and his already peak Divine Sense within Qi Cultivation he was able to easily control the suddenly increasing spiritual power after the ¡¯ breakthrough and smoothly refine the thick Rank-3 Spirit Energy in the cultivation room.


    After three days of circulating, Chen Mobai confirmed that his breakthrough realm wouldn¡¯t drop anymore before he finally stopped.


    So this is the ninth level of Qi Cultivation?


    Feeling the Spiritual Power Vortex in his Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea, which was one time stronger than before and almost took up all the space in his Dantian, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but stand up.


    He injected his Spiritual Power into the Casting Sword Ring, and in an instant nine flashes of Sword Light flashed out, incredibly sharp.


    This is the maximum power of this Casting Sword Ring. In the past, Chen Mobai needed to gather spiritual power for ten minutes to launch nine swords at the same time, but now he could do it in one go.


    Although the change in the amount of spiritual power between the eighth level and the ninth level of Qi Cultivation is only double, in actual combat, the fighting capacity can be increased by three to four times.


    If it were those true disciples at the peak of Rank-9 Qi Cultivation, the gap would be even greater, akin to the difference between clouds and mud when compared to those at Rank-8 Qi Cultivation.


    Overjoyed after his experiment, Chen Mobai sat down again and began to ponder his next plan.


    After reaching the peak of Rank-9 Qi Cultivation, one can already attempt Foundation Establishment.


    But definitely, with Rank-9 Qi Cultivation reaching perfection, the chances of success are greater.


    The next main goal is to exchange for the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Foundation Building Pill.


    Chen Mobai recalculated his contribution points.


    After two years of farming, especially the hard work of this year, he now has 3458 sect contribution points in his Divine Wood Sect account.


    If he continues with the scale of his Spirit Field this year, by the fourth year, he would be able to gather the ten thousand sect contribution points needed to exchange for the Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°Even though it is gathered, I would still need to wait eight years for the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom to mature.¡±


    After laughing self-mockingly, Chen Mobai was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something.


    Doesn¡¯t the Divine Wood Sect have a Foundation Building Pill that uses a demonic beast¡¯s inner core as its main ingredient?


    After Chen Xinglan¡¯s attempt at Foundation Establishment failed, Chen Mobai had stopped paying attention to this matter.


    IS it not known whether Elder Zeng of the Alchemy Department has started to refine it?


    If he has indeed done so, should Chen Mobai exchange it?


    Chen Mobai pondered for a while, and then immediately had an answer in his mind.


    Exchange it!


    This is the Foundation Building Pill!


    Although it is different from the orthodox Foundation Building Pill refined using the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom, and its effectiveness might be only 80%, the pill¡¯s toxicity is definitely beyond the limits compared to the Immortal Sect¡¯s, but, anyway, it is a genuine Foundation Building Pill.


    It could increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by up to 30% Even if the effectiveness is not sufficient, at the very least, it could increase the probability by 24%.


    The best spiritual plant for Foundation Establishment in the four grand Daoist Academies of the Immortal Sects can only increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 10%.


    Having confirmed this belief, Chen Mobai began thinking about the feasibility of exchanging for this batch of Foundation Building Pill.


    Firstly, he needs to confirm if Elder Zeng from the Alchemy Department has started the refinements?


    This is Simple. As a disciple of the Spirit Plant Department, and someone who had begun to be recognised as one of Sun Gaochang¡¯s men in the past year he wouldn¡¯t even need to check it himself. He could find out by simply asking Lu


    The Foundation Building Pill is a lower-grade Rank-3 elixir, and the least time required for refining it is half a year.


    If it is already being refined, it could be ready by next year.


    Although Chen Mobai has a fair amount of sect contribution points now, he is still far from ten thousand.


    The most urgent task is to earn sect contribution points as quickly as possible. However, if push comes to shove, he could also find someone to borrow from.


    But he doesn¡¯t know many people in the Divine Wood Sect, even if Qi Rui, Xi Jinghuo, Lu Jun, and others are willing to lend, they probably can only lend a few hundred at most.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Among them, Qi Rui himself was also competing for the position of a true disciple. He might even have to borrow from Chen Mobai in turn.


    As for others, the only person Chen Mobai could think of was Sun Gaochang As he considers himself one of Sun Gaochang¡¯s men now, if the Foundation Establishment elder of Reward Virtue Hall was willing to lend, it is estimated that even borrowing ten thousands directly would be possible.


    However, Chen Mobai felt that he might not yet carry such a huge weight before him.


    First, he must become a true disciple!


    Chen Mobai was full of thoughts, his expression, however, was calm..

 Chapter 205 - Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Out of the Mountain 1

    Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Out of the Mountain 1


    Translator: 549690339                   ¡ª


    To become a true disciple, one must participate in this year¡¯s Sect Grand Competition.


    Chen Mobai had been a spectator last year, but he still felt it necessary to consult those with experience.


    Junior Brother, you¡¯re finally leaving the mountain.¡±


    On top of Small Yang Ridge, Qi Rui and Xi Jinghuo broke into laughter upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    With your cultivation level, you will certainly shock everyone when you step out.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo sipped some spiritual wine and expressed confidence in Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Although I have a good cultivation realm, my dueling experience and techniques are far from yours. Being in the top hundred in this Sect Grand Competition would already be a great achievement.¡±


    ¡°Junior Brother, you¡¯re being much too modest.¡±


    Qi Rui¡¯s words could only invite a bitter smile from Chen Mobai.


    For some reason, both men were very confident in him, believing that as long as he participated, even if he couldn¡¯t become a true disciple, entering the top hundred would be as easy as reaching out.


    But Chen Mobai himself estimated that with his duelling skills, being able to enter the top hundred would already be a great accomplishment.


    Last year, a total of 1600 Qi Cultivation disciples participated in the Sect Grand Competition. As he had been watching all along, he made detailed notes on some notable individuals.


    Of these, there were 176 at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Among the twenty-four true disciples of the previous session, eight bitter cultivators had obtained Foundation Building Pills and no longer participated. With their hearts set on seclusion, they honed their energy, prepared to grasp the opportunity for transformation, and breakthrough at any time with a Foundation Building Pill.


    Among the remaining sixteen true disciples, E Yun, Zhou Wangshen, and Hong He, the three top disciples, had all successfully built their foundations and, under the arrangement of the sect, led their own teams to the Yun Meng Ze to establish a Fang Market.


    Six individuals, including Liu Guilong from the Spirit Plant Department, had failed the foundation establishment. Aiming to vie for the position of true disciple to get a second Foundation Building Pill, Liu Guilong fell short, with no support from the Spirit Plant Department and his injuries not yet healed. He was defeated by a dark horse when they had narrowed down to the top hundred.


    Besides Liu Guilong, three others also lost the position of true disciple.


    Seven individuals including Yuan Chiye and Ding Ying, although having received Foundation Building Pills, did not plan to give up their positions as true disciples due to their Incomplete Dual Cultivation Technique.


    Nevertheless, last year¡¯s Sect Grand Competition had put the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s twenty-four true disciples through a significant reshuffling.


    Fourteen new people ascended to the position of true disciple, becoming the influential figures of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Yuan Chiye, a friend of Chen Mobai, advanced even further, securing the third place among the true disciples, replacing the previous E Yun.


    I hope my luck in drawing lots will be as good as it was last year.¡±


    Qi Rui expressed his hopes as he drank.


    Last year, he did not encounter any strong opponents along the way and made it to the top forty-eight. Unfortunately, in the final round for the top twenty-four true disciples, he was thoroughly defeated by the current sixth disciple.


    Chen Mobai then asked about what matters to pay attention to during the Sect Grand Competition, and both Qi Rui and Xi Jinghuo gave detailed answers. However, all details boiled down to one thing ¨C strength.


    If one is strong enough, the position of a true disciple won¡¯t be out of reach.


    The next day, Chen Mobai made another trip to Divine Wood City, bringing two jars of freshly brewed Jade Bud Spiritual Wine as a gift for Inspector Sun Gaochang.


    ¡°Hmm, I know. Go find Lu Jun.¡±


    Upon learning that Chen Mobai intended to participate in the Sect Grand Competition and had the idea to compete for the position of true disciple, Sun Gaochang nodded slightly. After accepting the two jars of wine, he uttered only one sentence, allowing Chen Mobai to leave.


    A confused Chen Mobai exited and found Lu Jun, who shook his head slightly after hearing the news.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, it seems Inspector Sun doesn¡¯t think highly of you.¡±


    ¡°Oh, why¡¯s that?¡±


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, you should have reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, otherwise you wouldn¡¯t think about competing for the position of true disciple.¡±


    ¡°Elder Brother, your eyes truly see all.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not deny this.


    Then you should also know that there¡¯s a huge gap between the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and the true disciples. Li Li, who cultivates the Rain Sword Technique, along with the support of a Rank-2 Flying Sword from our Spirit Plant Department, just barely made it into the top twenty-four.¡±


    Lu Jun¡¯s words made Chen Mobai understand why Li Li suddenly possessed a Rank-2 Spring Rain Sword last year. It was the Spirit Plant Department, aiming for its own prestige, that had provided support.


    ¡°Our Spirit Plant Department members usually get a magic artifact from the backend when participating in the Sect Grand Competition. Those we need to ensure become true disciples, like Elder Brother Li, are given Rank-2 artifacts.¡±


    ¡°But that requires the consent of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators. If I were to go talk to them, at most I could borrow a Rank-1 high-grade magic artifact for you.¡±


    ¡°But don¡¯t be disheartened, Junior Brother. First, go and experience the atmosphere of the Sect Grand Competition. Once you improve your rank in a few years and have hopes of entering the ranks of true disciples, Inspector Sun will certainly arrange a suitable Rank-2 magic artifact for you.¡±


    As Sun Gaochang¡¯s confidant, Lu Jun going to the Spirit Plant Department¡¯s backend was already considerable coverage for Chen Mobai¡¯s two jars of wine. Consequently, Chen Mobai chose a Rank-i high-grade Green Wood Sword.


    The Elixir of Longevity¡¯s development direction is extremely vast, allowing one to advance in both spell and sword techniques.


    Since Chen Mobai intended to use the Red Flame Sword Charm to veil Pure Yang Scroll, it was time to practice Sword Control Technique now that his realm couldn¡¯t advance any further.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai presented Lu Jun with a jar of Jade Bud Spiritual Wine as a thank you gift, which the latter accepted without reservation.


    He enquired once again about the start of the Foundation Building Pill formulation.


    As before, he advised them to always leave some spirit grass prepared to concoct a batch of Foundation Building Pills.


    This implied that formulation hadn¡¯t begun yet but they were considering it.


    It was estimated to be within a year or two.


    Participating in the Sect Grand Competition for the first time reminded Chen Mobai of when he participated in the enrollment trial in Red Sandstone City. Fortunately, compared to his previous easy and calm demeanor, this time he was a little nervous.


    Fortunately, those arranging the lineup for the Divine Wood Sect did not jumble it haphazardly, and the first few rounds separated those at Qi Cultivation¡¯s ninth level.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s opponents in the first two rounds were all cannon fodder below the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, and even with his poor duelling skills, he easily defeated them with the sheer gap in spiritual power.


    In the third and fourth rounds, however, his opponents were in the later stages of Qi Cultivation.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Nonetheless, under Chen Mobai¡¯s ninth level of Qi Cultivation and the Rank-1 high-grade Flying Sword from the Spirit Plant Department, none of them could withstand even one blow.


    Through these four rounds, Chen Mobai finally understood the pleasure of outclassing someone in terms of cultivation realm, as Master Qing Ping once said.


    It was only in the fifth round that he finally met a decent opponent, an array maker at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    However, the opponent seemed not to have obtained the magic artifact resources from their array maker department. Relying on the green wood sword and his superb understanding equivalent to a Rank-2 Talisman Maker of the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai spotted the fatal flaw in his opponent¡¯s formation and narrowly defeated them.


    After this round, Chen Mobai advanced to the top forty-eight..

    Chapter 206: Chapter 206 Jade Marrow Pill_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Are you sure you want to apply for your Foundation Establishment treasures?¡± In Building One of Crimson Mountain, it was still the same teacher Luo who, frowning, looked at the handsome young man in front of him.


    If he remembered correctly, this individual was just a third-year student, already intending to attempt Foundation Establishment?


    Although most freshmen of the Dance Tool Dao Academy were at the peak of Qi


    Cultivation when they entered, the majority of students would only try


    Foundation Establishment after their sixth year.


    Though it wasn¡¯t unheard of for a third-year student to try it, Chen Mobai was the first in his grade.


    ¡°Yes, Teacher Luo, I feel that I¡¯ve reached a bottleneck, and it¡¯s time to take the


    next step.¡±


    ¡°Have you mastered the Borderline Technique?


    ¡°Mmtn, I was lucky enough to comprehend it.


    Hearing this, Luo Hezheng showed a look of approval.


    This child really was a genius, possibly becoming the first in their grade beyond Zhongli Tianyu, to successfully establish their foundation.


    Knowing that the student before him had mastered the Borderline Technique, Luo Hezheng no longer delved into it, directly giving him a full set of three Foundation Establishment Treasures-benefits every student of the Daoist Academy is entitled to.


    ¡°Teacher Luo, I also want to exchange my credits for two portions of Profound


    Fire Spirit Liquid.¡±


    ¡°Two portions?¡±


    Luo Hezheng confirmed once again, showing no surprise that Chen Mobai wanted to exchange for two portions. After Chen Mobai nodded in agreement, Luo Hezheng swiped his student ID, then fetched two fist-sized bottles of dark red spiritual liquid.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Luo.¡±


    After receiving his three Foundation Establishment treasures and two portions of Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, Chen Mobai returned to his rented cabin outside and made a phone call to Qing Nu.


    ¡°How much longer will your brother take to arrive?


    ¡°Probably two days; I just gave him the Jade Marrow Pill yesterday.¡±


    ¡°I really can¡¯t thank you enough, wasting your precious credits.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯m willing to help. Besides, didn¡¯t you trade the Profound Fire Spirit


    Liquid with me? It¡¯s an equal exchange.¡±


    Though she said this, Chen Mobai knew that as a Heavenly Spiritual Root, Qing


    Nu didn¡¯t need these items for Foundation Establishment.


    After hanging up, Chen Mobai was pondering how to repay Qing Nu¡¯s kindness in the future.


    ¡°Jade Marrow Pill¡± is a spirit supplement from Jumang Daoist Academy that assists with Foundation Establishment. Like the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, it can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 10%.


    Taking this pill can help a cultivator to complete the marrow washing process. The ¡°jade Marrow Pill¡± alone isn¡¯t much, but if taken in conjunction with the ¡°Profound Fire Spirit Liquid¡±, the first step of Foundation Establishment, Changing Tendons and Washing the Marrow, can be 100% successful.


    Chen Mobai had heard from Wang Xingyu of the Alchemy Department that ¨C most of the elder school brothers and sisters usually contact Jumang Dao Academy to trade their academy¡¯s Profound Fire Spirit Liquid for their ¡°Jade


    Marrow Pill¡±.


    As it pertained to Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai had no choice but to thicken his face and mention the matter to Qing Nu. After hearing about it, she agreed without hesitation.


    Originally, Qing Nu planned to give the pill to Chen Mobai as a gift, but he couldn¡¯t accept it without offering something in return. He insisted on giving her the equivalent amount of Profound Fire Spirit Liquid.


    Considering his feelings, Qing Nu hesitated but then agreed.


    Although she didn¡¯t need the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, she could give it to her younger siblings.


    Kong Feichen had also reached Qi Cultivation Perfection this year and was prepared to attempt Foundation Establishment. Qing Nu had exchanged a Jade Marrow Pill for him too.


    If they had the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, given his Different Spiritual Root talent, plus the three Foundation Establishment Treasures, he was virtually guaranteed of success.


    The two days passed in a flash.


    The moment Kong Feichen knocked on the door, Chen Mobai had just put his pen down from drawing the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman.


    ¡°Here we are.¡±


    ¡°This is a Jade marrow pill, please have a look.¡±


    As soon as Kong Feichen entered, he immediately placed a milky-white pill encased in ice on the table.


    ¡°As Qing Nu¡¯s brother, I naturally trust you.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t check and accepted the Jade marrow pill directly. He handed over a bottle of prepared Profound Fire Spirit Liquid. Kong Feichen took it without a glance, put it into his breast pocket and walked away.


    ¡°Won¡¯t you stay for dinner?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll treat you after I have established my foundation.


    Kong Feichen¡¯s words left Chen Mobai speechless. It seemed like this guy always wanted to surpass him.


    Looking at the Jade marrow pill and the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, as well as the three treasures for Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help thinking back to last year¡¯s big competition in the sect.


    in the crucial battle between the top 48 and 24, he met Mu Yuan, the fourth-ranking true disciple, and had no power to resist.


    After the event, when he thought about it in accordance with Qing Ping¡¯s theory, he felt that the main reason was that his realm was not high enough. But he had already achieved the ninth level of Qi cultivation and any higher level would require Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai was very flexible in his thinking and was not bound by the idea that only Foundation Building Pills could be used to establish the foundation in the Tianhe Realm.


    At the end of the third semester, he felt he could not waste the law practice he had gained from consuming the Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    He needed to keep the status quo.


    Even if his Foundation Establishment failed this time, he could push his ninth level Qi cultivation to its peak.


    With the Jade marrow pill and the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, he could definitely complete the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow process. Adding the three treasures of Foundation Establishment and the vortex of spiritual power painstakingly cultivated over the years, he should also be able to reach the step of Condensing Qi into Liquid.


    Because he hadn¡¯t achieved perfection in his ninth-level Qi cultivation, the Foundation Establishment tool predicted that he only had a 26% success rate in Foundation Establishment. However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t plan on succeeding in one go.


    He intended to stick to the Critical Law.


    in professional terms, it is called ¡°a half-step in Foundation Establishment.¡± Participating in the sect¡¯s big competition with this realm this year, he could definitely trounce everyone.


    ¡°Mu Yuan, just you wait!¡±


    Although he knew his fighting skills were somewhat mediocre, the fact that he couldn¡¯t fight back at all against Mu Yuan last year still made Chen Mobai unhappy.


    After getting an assurance from the teacher in the Dance Tool Dao Academy that there¡¯s nothing wrong with the Jade marrow pill, Chen Mobai applied for an intermediate-grade Rank-3 Cultivation Room with a spirit vein and started his first Foundation Establishment.


    First, he took the ¡°Vein Protection Pill¡±. Once the medicinal effect spread throughout his body, he took the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid and drank it all in one gulp.


    Instantly, it felt like a hot surge fell into his Dantian and merged into his Longevity Spiritual Power, circulating through the twelve meridians during the Qi circulation.


    Chen Mobai started to sweat, but he knew it was normal when consuming the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid. Then he took the Jade marrow pill, and soon he could feel the slight numbness in his bones, especially his spine, even feeling mild pains¡­


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, this is your magic artifact for this year.¡±


    In the Spirit Plant Department, Lu Jun smilingly handed a Rank-2 lower-grade Divine Wood Sword to him.

    ¡°Oh, has Inspector Sun given his blessing this year?


    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised as he took over his first ever Ranked-2 magic artifact, even though it was loaned by the department.


    ¡°Originally, the deputy head was in disagreement since Brother Li Li is his man. But due to last time¡¯s incident involving Brother Liu Guilong, the head harbored a grudge against the deputy head. The moment Inspector Sun mentioned it, the head immediately agreed. As the ratio was two votes to one, Junior Brother Chen, your application for the Divine Wood sword was approved.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt the wine he gifted was not wasted. After taking the sword, he flicked it with a finger and the sound was like a dragon¡¯s chant.


    ¡°Brother Lu, do you think if I manage to seize first place among the true disciples this year, will there be a share for me in the Foundation Building Pills that Senior Uncle Zeng is refining?¡±

    ¡°If you are the top of the true disciples and Grand Uncle Zeng has succeeded in making some Foundation Building Pills, then you should get one.¡±


    Although Lu Jun didn¡¯t understand why Chen Mobai was so confident, thinking about his age, he felt that the youth should have such a sharp spirit.


    ¡°Please give these two jars of spirit wine to Inspector Sun, Brother Lu.¡±


    Sun Gaochang had to carry out his duties at the Reward Virtue Hall today, reporting on the spirit stone resource expenditure of the Spirit Plant Department this year, so Chen Mobai did not meet him.


    After receiving his 100 spirit stone benefits from the Spirit Plant Department this year, he returned to Small Yang Ridge.


    Chen Mobai completed the harvesting of the spirit rice on his personal spirit field, then had the three disciples he hired from the Divine Wood Sect dry it in the sun separately.


    The sect¡¯s farmlands had been harvested by Lu Jun and Teng Jie a few days ago, granting Chen Mobai¡¯s account an extra 3100 contribution points. The reason it was more than last year was because 20 more Dew Grass plants had grown in the medicinal field.


    This Dew Grass, as a top-rank-1 spirit grass, can be sold for 5 spirit stones per plant in the market.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have any experience when he grew them for the first time, so the yield was mediocre.


    This year he specially visited the Book Pavilion to learn about the cultivation knowledge inherited from the Divine Wood Sect on Dew Grass. In addition to taking an elective course on ¡°Spirit Grass Planting¡± from the cultivation sect, the harvest of Dew Grass increased by nearly 20% this year.


    The contribution of Dew Grass to the sect is normal, but even without the tenfold effect of spirit rice, the yield of 80 plants from two acres still added 400 contribution points to Chen Mobai¡¯s account. In terms of spirit stones alone, the yield per acre is far higher than that of spirit rice.


    If it wasn¡¯t for Chen Mobai¡¯s plan to make spirit wine for spirit stones in the future, given the excellent harvest of spiritual medicine and spirit grass, he might also change the spirit field to a medicinal field, and, like other disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, would focus on growing precious herbs, waiting for a sudden fortune after ten or twenty years of harvest.


    ¡°Brother Chen, all the rice has been dried.¡±


    A young man with an ordinary face came into the wooden house of Small Yang Ridge and respectfully reported to Chen Mobai who was about to draw symbols.


    You¡¯ve worked hard, Brother Liang, here is your compensation for this year.¡±


    Two other disciples of the Divine Wood Sect were outside the door. The three of them were the ones Chen Mobai had hired from Spirit Treasure Pavilion through the Spirit Plant Department.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Chen.¡±


    After receiving 15 spirit stones as a reward, the leading Brother Liang hesitated for a moment but summoned the courage to voice his plan.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I don¡¯t plan to come back next year.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Why is that? If it¡¯s not enough spirit stones, Brother Liang, we can increase it.¡±


    Chen Mobai put down the green bamboo pen in his hand in surprise when he heard Liang Xinhuo¡¯s words.


    Compared to the two other False Spirit Root disciples, who had reached the Qi Cultivation Rank-2 level and had no prospect for improvement, this Liang Xinhuo, although a four-Spirit Root, was still young and ambitious.


    Over the past two years, thanks to his dedicated service, Chen Mobai was able to spare some time to study at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, research talismans, and improve his cultivation technique realm.


    If it had been the other two leaving, Chen Mobai would have shown them out without a second thought.


    But with Liang Xinhuo, he felt it necessary to try to retain him.


    Upon hearing this, Liang Xinhuo expressed his own thoughts frankly.


    ¡°Brother Chen, you have superior spiritual-root talent and are one of the Sect¡¯s favored sons. In a few years, there¡¯s even hope of you becoming a true disciple. You are very kind and I am happy to work under you.¡±


    ¡°However, I feel that since I was given the opportunity to join the Divine Wood Sect, even though my spiritual roots are not that good, I would like to seize this chance for immortal cultivation.¡±


    ¡°With the fields I¡¯m farming under your command and the subsidies from the sect, I can get around 50 spirit stones a year. However, after I advanced to the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation, these spirit stones were no longer sufficient to support my daily cultivation efforts. To walk further on the path of immortal cultivation, I have decided to participate in the sect¡¯s expedition to Yun Meng Ze and take a chance for myself.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai knew that he couldn¡¯t possibly keep Liang Xinhuo.


    Even if he was able to offer a high amount of spirit stones, how could he possibly outbid people like E Yun?


    Moreover, the opening up of Yun Meng Ze is a major strategic move by the sect for the next ten years. With the endorsement of the Gold Core elder, the spiritual stone resources of the Reward Virtue Hall are essentially supplied to this group first and foremost.


    Almost all ambitious members of the Divine Wood Sect, under the leadership of the newly established Foundation Establishment cultivators Hong He, Zhou Wangshen, and E Yun, are flocking to Yun Meng Ze.


    If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t made a fortune from selling storage bags, he might have been tempted as well.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I wish Junior Brother Liang a smooth journey. You can take this talisman.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai took a Crimson Flame Sword Talisman that he had just drawn on a piece of silver-edged bamboo leaf as the talisman paper from the table.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother Chen. If I can return from this expedition, I will repay your kindness.¡±


    Liang Xinhuo knew how much this high-grade Rank-1 talisman could fetch in the sect¡¯s Spirit Treasure Pavilion. He might not be able to afford two of them even with a whole year¡¯s worth of farming, so despite the fact that it was drawn by Chen Mobai himself, he was extremely excited.


    After seeing off his capable farming assistant, Chen Mobai was a bit irritated about having to recruit new people next year.


    However, this was a matter for later. His main focus now was the upcoming big competition in the sect.


    He picked up a bright red block of talisman ink, a unique ¡°Vermilion Talisman Ink¡± from Giant Tree Ridge, and began to carefully grind it. Thanks to three years of learning ¡°Ink Color Extraction¡± at the Dance Tool Dao Academy and the various ink-making tools in the immortal sect, Chen Mobai was able to blend this ¡°Vermilion Talisman Ink¡± to perfection.


    The whole block was Rank-2, bright vermilion in color, with only a thin layer of impurities settled at the bottom and froth on the top affecting the quality.


    However, if he were to sell this talisman ink in Divine Wood City, everyone would consider it as Rank-2. The reason being, only the cultivator with the deepest understanding of ink-making can make such high-quality talisman ink, and that too only when the state of the material is perfect.


    After grinding, Chen Mobai lifted his green bamboo pen with his right hand and dipped it in the talisman ink.


    Finally, he began to draw on the silver-edged bamboo leaf laid on the table. Just like a bundle of crimson flames cutting across, it illuminated the entire bamboo leaf and completed a full talisman in one stroke.


    Crimson Flame Sword Talisman!


    Chen Mobai, with his skills equivalent to a Rank-2 talisman maker of the Tianhe Realm, found no problem in producing the Crimson Flame Single Sword and Dual Sword Talisman. Only the Triple Sword Talisman, which was equivalent to Rank-2 in difficulty, maintained a success rate of only 50%.


    Since he had only eight sheets of Gold-Edged Bamboo Leaves, he would only attempt to draw it when he was in his best state.


    As he was about to participate in the sect¡¯s great competition for the second time, Chen Mobai decided to complete the drawing of all the bamboo leaf talisman papers he had accumulated for some additional insurance in his hand.

    The Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, as one of the hallmarks of the Divine Wood Sect, could also serve to reveal some of his talisman-making skills. After he becomes a true disciple in the future, he can then sell it just like the Jade Bud Spirit Wine to earn spirit stones.


    Time passed quickly, and he drew all the twenty-six Silver-Edged Bamboo Leaves he had collected in the past two years into Crimson Flame Sword Talismans.


    He used half of the eight Gold Edge Bamboo leaves.


    He had made two of them into Crimson Flame Triple Sword Talisman.


    Two of them failed, but he managed to keep the power of the Crimson Flame Dual Sword Talisman using his immortal sect skills..

 Chapter 208 - Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Surge i

    Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Surge i


    Translator: 549690339


    There were only four sheets of rank-2 golden-edged bamboo leaves left.


    Chen Mobai intended to use them to draw the rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman he had been learning diligently for the past two years.


    This particular talisman is the one he has studied most proficiently. This is not only because he had used it previously, but because his cultivation technique of eternal youth is also of the wood attribute, making it an especially good match. Even though it has been a long time since he returned to Red Sandstone City, he still remembers vividly the talismans sold in the Wood Spiritual Talisman Shop.


    After all, the shop¡¯s talismans were the primary reason for his initially outstanding performance in the Tianhe Realm and during the entrance examination for the magical duel at the academy.


    After Chen Mobai was certified as a Rank-1 Talisman Maker, he chose to specialize in the wood talismans.


    Within the Dance Tool Dao Academy, it was very easy for him to learn these talismans. However, learning the rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman held him back for two full months.


    It was not until Chen Xinglan¡¯s Foundation Establishment when Chen Mobai took leave to go back to Red Sandstone City and paid a visit to the shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual Talisman shop. With the latter¡¯s careful instruction, he finally made a breakthrough in drawing this talisman.


    Now, out of the three rank-2 talismans he can draw, the ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡± has the highest success rate. It is also the one he is most confident with.


    Drawing a talisman consumes a tremendous amount of spirit and spiritual power.


    Chen Mobai only began drawing the ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman¡± again after a night¡¯s rest.


    His condition was superb and he successfully drew three out of the four bamboo leaves.


    However, when he finished drawing, Chen Mobai discovered a faint crack on the shaft of his green bamboo brush.


    After all, it was a Rank-i superior-grade talisman brush. After continuous use over the past couple of days and being used to draw rank-2 talismans, it was showing signs of wear and tear.


    It appears that he needs to get a better talisman brush.


    As for how to obtain it, Chen Mobai already had an idea in mind.


    Purchasing one would definitely be unaffordable. The finished rank-2 magic artifacts from the Immortal Sect generally cost around one million good deed points.


    Due to the single functionality of the talisman brush, it would be slightly cheaper. A standard rank-2 talisman brush only costs five to six hundred thousand, but even at this price, Chen Mobai could hardly afford it.


    On the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s side, the price for a rank-2 talisman brush is around one to two hundred spirit stones.


    Chen Mobai felt that it was too expensive and not worth it.


    So, his plan was to buy the raw materials for crafting a brush in the Tianhe Realm and then ask someone to help him make it in the Immortal Sect.


    Appropriately, there is a peerless refining genius from his own class within Chen Mobai¡¯s circle of friends.


    ¡°Brother, I want to order a rank-2 talisman brush. Do you know any artifact refiners who are good at crafting brushes?¡±


    ¡°Crafting brushes? That is somewhat uncommon, I¡¯ll have to ask around.¡±


    The Refining Implement Department where Ming Yuhua resides mainly focuses on combat and defense magic artifacts. No one really researches auxiliary artifacts like the talisman brush.


    Brother, thank you for the effort. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal when you find someone.¡±


    ¡°Alright, but don¡¯t get your hopes up too high, I doubt there is anyone in our Daoist Academy who has studied this.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Mobai took another two days of rest. After completely recuperating from the mental and spiritual consumption of making talismans, he returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    The sect-wide competition was about to begin.


    Within the Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai, Qi Rui, and Xi Jinghuo sat by a window in a tavern, watching the preliminary stages of the competition take place on the ten huge platforms in the center of the city below.


    Generally, only 1536 Qi Cultivation disciples are needed for the sect-wide competition. After six rounds of dueling, the remaining 24 will become the elite disciples.


    However, due to the large number of recruits by the Divine Wood Sect in these years, the number of Qi Cultivation disciples participating in the sect-wide competition exceeded the limit. But it was not enough to add another round.


    To maintain the configuration of the 24 elite disciples after six rounds, the Divine Wood Sect conducted a preliminary contest to eliminate some of the Qi Cultivation disciples.


    Naturally, those in the late stages of Qi Cultivation like Chen Mobai didn¡¯t need to participate in the preliminary contest. This year, Xi Jinghuo had advanced to the 7th level of Qi Cultivation, making things a bit easier for him.


    The three of them watched the Fight Duels among the disciples at the 3rd and


    4th Qi Cultivation stages below, feeling completely unenthused.


    ¡°Brother Chen, you are going to shine brightly this year.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo suddenly uttered a statement that Chen Mobai did not understand.


    ¡°Oh? Brother Xi, why do you say that?¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Plant Department has applied for a rank-2 Divine Wood Sword for you. This news has already spread widely.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    It must have been Brother Li Li who spread the news.¡±


    ¡°The reason that each of the Twelve Departments can secure a position among the elite disciples each year is because the sect allows them to lend rank-2 magic artifacts to promising disciples. While this helps maintain the face of the Twelve Departments, such a practice is common knowledge. Therefore, during the yearly sect-wide competition, those who have connections will always inquire about which artifacts are lent out.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo naturally belonged to those with connections.


    Qi Rui was not aware of this. He only understood after hearing it and wore a regretful expression on his face.


    ¡°Does your Spirit Plant Department really have such good benefits that they could lend out two rank-2 flying swords? Our Talisman Division only has one set of rank-2 armor for Elder Sister Ding Ying.¡±


    Chen Mobai could only answer with silence. However, when Qi Rui mentioned Ding Ying, his eyes flashed subtly.


    This outstanding disciple from the previous class had not taken the Foundation Building Pill because she practiced the two-phase method, just like Yuan Chiye. Last year, she ranked sixth among the elite disciples and was considered a talent likely to succeed in the Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°If you fail to become one of the elite disciples this year because of the open conflict regarding the three Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Spirit Plant Department, you may be left out for a long time. It¡¯s likely that you won¡¯t be able to borrow a rank-2 magic artifact in the next decade or so.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo¡¯s words were somewhat chilling. Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t noticed this before, but after being prompted by Xi Jinghuo, his face suddenly registered comprehension.


    Indeed, that would be the case.


    In the Spirit Plant Department, Liu Guilong, the original elite disciple, had lost his position to Li Li last year due to failing the Foundation Establishment.


    This year, Liu Guilong¡¯s injuries healed, and if he had a rank-2 magic artifact, he would have a high chance of reclaiming his position as an elite disciple.


    But obviously, Li Li isn¡¯t willing to back off. Behind both of them are the Spirit Plant Department¡¯s dean and vice-dean, two Foundation Establishment Elders, and they all need a reason to meddle.


    Whether Chen Mobai was proactively involved or was selected as a formidable piece in their game by Sun Gaochang, the three Foundation Establishment Elders tacitly agreed that he should receive a rank-2 flying sword.


    If he cannot become an elite disciple this year, the distribution of spirit swords in the Spirit Plant Department will have been established, and the other sword will definitely go to Liu Guilong.


    Therefore, in this sect-wide competition, many people might be watching Chen Mobai from the sidelines.


    ¡°Thank you for your warning, Brother Xi.¡±


    Having understood the hidden implications behind his obtaining a Rank-2


    Divine Wood Sword, Chen Mobai sincerely toasted Xi Jinghuo.


    ¡°This wine is not as good as the one you brew.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After finishing his drink, Xi Jinghuo shook his head, critiquing the spiritual wine served at the tavern.


    I have long finished the liquor I brewed last year, but this year I brewed a hundred jars. When they are opened, I will treat you all to a feast.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qi Rui¡¯s face lit up with joy.


    Time passed quickly. With the preliminary contest over, the main competition of the sect-wide competition was about to begin.


    Chen Mobai encountered his first-round opponent, who turned out to be someone he knew..

 Chapter 209 - Chapter 209: Chapter 209 Recruiting_l

    Chapter 209: Chapter 209 Recruiting_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Brother Chen.¡±


    On the platform, Zhuo Ming respectfully saluted Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought my first round opponent would be Sister Zhuo. It¡¯s been a long time.¡±


    The girl who left Southstream Market with him to join the Divine Wood Sect, had lost contact with him after they left the Bud Hall.


    Being able to meet during the massive sect competition with thousands of participants was quite a coincidence.


    ¡°I hope Brother Chen can progress courageously, so that he can become a true successor in this competition.¡±


    Zhuo Ming knew that she was no match for Chen Mobai. Once she stepped on the platform, she didn¡¯t waste any of her talismans and spiritual power, and after saying a courteous phrase, she directly admitted defeat.


    ¡°Sister, we haven¡¯t seen each other in two years, if by chance let¡¯s have a drink together.¡±


    After stepping off the platform, Chen Mobai invited Zhuo Ming, who was excited to hear this and immediately came over.


    Due to his excellent performance in last year¡¯s competition, Chen Mobai had gained a certain prestige in the entire Divine Wood Sect.


    Many people believed that once the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms matured, he was likely to become one of the true successors.


    And Zhuo Ming had the most confidence in Chen Mobai becoming a true successor.


    After all, at the Southstream Market back then, Yuan Chiye had determined that he had the most top-notch True Spirit Root.


    ¡°Brother Chen, long time no see.¡±


    But before the two of them had a chance to sit down, another acquaintance came to greet them.


    It was another three-spiritual-root prodigy from Southstream Market, Liu Wenbo.


    ¡°It¡¯s you, since you¡¯re here, join us for a drink.¡±


    The three of them sat in a restaurant overlooking some of the platforms and began recounting their experiences in the Divine Wood Sect over the past two years.


    Out of the three, Zhuo Ming¡¯s career was the most simple. The difficulty of her transformation into the Art of Immortality was extraordinary, and she barely achieved Qi Cultivation level six.


    She usually apprenticed in a talisman shop in Divine Wood City. The owner was a disciple from the Talisman Division, and a rank-one Talisman Master.


    However, Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t learn anything from him. The Master closely guarded his talisman creation techniques, only allowing her to handle some talisman paper and ink work.


    ¡°I have average talent. If I want to reach the Qi Cultivation level nine before the age limit of sixty, I might have to join the team exploring the Cloud Dream Lake.¡±


    After Zhuo Ming finished speaking, her face showed bitterness. Joining the sect-wide competition was essentially a chance to showcase her abilities.


    She had originally saved two top-quality rank-one talismans in hopes of winning the first round and finding an opportunity to trade her life for a good price.


    Who could have expected such bad luck, encountering Chen Mobai ¨C a true successor candidate ¨C in the first round, and losing the courage to compete.


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s a bit miserable.¡±


    After hearing Zhuo Ming¡¯s account, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but empathize.


    If he hadn¡¯t stumbled upon the turtle shell, his situation in the Divine Wood Sect probably wouldn¡¯t be much better than Zhuo Ming¡¯s.


    ¡°How about you, Brother Liu? Weren¡¯t you following Yuan Chiye to explore the Yun Meng Ze?¡±


    ¡°Sigh, I had several close brushes with death. Most of the brothers and sisters who came with me didn¡¯t make it, though there¡¯s now a glimmer of hope for the future.¡±


    While Liu Wenbo was speaking, he did not hide his cultivation level, which had actually reached Qi Cultivation level eight.


    Chen Mobai took a closer look at him and compared to when he was at Bud Hall, Liu Wenbo, who was originally gentle, had gained a bit of tenacity. It seemed that the life-and-death battles had really shaped him, giving him a total transformation.


    ¡°Well, not bad. After Brother E Yun ¡°Foundation Establishments¡±, Brother Yuan will take over. By the time Brother Yuan ¡°Foundation Establishments¡±, you should be at Qi Cultivation level nine. With their support, you¡¯ll surely rank among the top of the True Successors in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words left Liu Wenbo feeling flabbergasted, he never expected himself to receive such praise from a senior brother as sublime as an exiled Immortal.


    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare to entertain such extravagant hopes, I would be grateful just to be listed among the direct disciples.¡±


    The three of them chatted for a while, more so it was Chen Mobai asking questions, and the other two answering respectfully.


    Although Chen Mobai had already let go of his position as the leader of the disciples at Southstream Market when he left Bud Hall, the two still held great respect for him.


    This respect deepened even more when last year Chen Mobai made it to the top 48. He was merely a round away from becoming an official disciple.


    In the eyes of Zhuo Ming and Liu Wenbo, Chen Mobai was already seen as an official disciple.


    They firmly believed that it was only a matter of time.


    ¡°I have quite a few medicinal and spirit fields in my Small Yang Ridge that need tending to. If disciple sister Zhuo doesn¡¯t mind, would you be willing to help me?¡±


    Looking at Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered that she too completed her chores by chopping logs at Bud Hall. Thus, fostering those farming skills should be more useful than training under Liang Xinhuo.


    ¡°So, what would be the remuneration for this?¡±


    Zhuo Ming, coming from a Loose Cultivator background, was quite pragmatic and asked the most crucial question straight away.


    ¡°For now, it will be 30 spirit stones per year. If disciple sister agrees, you¡¯re welcome to watch me preparing talismans and ink sketches. If you don¡¯t understand some part, you can write it down and ask me after I finish.¡±


    Hiring a 6th layer Qi cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect at this price could not be considered high. However, upon hearing the latter half of his sentence, Zhuo Ming¡¯s eyes brightened and she immediately agreed.


    In the Tianhe Realm, the legacy of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal is even more precious than the books on cultivation techniques in some aspects.


    Without officially being a master and disciple, it¡¯s impossible to receive the teachings.


    Although it was possible to purchase these from the Book Pavilion of the Divine Wood Sect using spirit stones, it was only limited to disciples in the Talisman division.


    Zhuo Ming had already spent years of savings in the Fang Market to buy the legacy of a rank-1 Talisman Master, but due to her weak foundation, her learning was severely hindered.


    While in Southstream Market, she had known that Chen Mobai was an exceptional talisman maker. His glyphs were concise with intricate constructions, much better than the items sold in the large sect establishments.


    If she could learn under him, she might be able to make up for her weak foundation and there¡¯s a chance she might become a bona fide Talisman Master in the future.


    So, the moment Zhuo Ming heard that Chen Mobai was willing to instruct her, she immediately agreed enthusiastically.


    ¡°Secluded in the mountain, free from the disturbance of carriages and horses, if possible, I really wish to learn from Brother Chen how to farm and brew wine leisurely. Unfortunately¡­¡±


    As Liu Wenbo spoke, his face fell as if he remembered the brothers who died in Cloud Dream Lake. He sighed woefully.


    Carrying the expectations of his family and being responsible for many junior brothers and sisters, he has no way to retreat now.


    ¡°Liu Wenbo, with great power comes great responsibility.¡±


    Chen Mobai consoled him briefly and then left with Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°First, resign from your apprenticeship at the rune store, then wait until the grand sect competition ends and come back to Small Yang Ridge with me.¡±


    ¡°Yes, senior brother Chen.¡±


    The sect¡¯s grand competition ended quickly today, and both Qi Rui and Xi Jinghuo advanced to the next round successfully.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The three agreed to meet for a drink in the evening. Zhuo Ming, who had already packed her things, came over and quietly sat pouring wine for them.


    ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯re a bit unfortunate. If you pass the fifth round, you¡¯re to face senior sister Ding Ying.¡±


    The match-up list for everyone came out today.


    After looking at his match-up, Qi Rui also arranged Chen Mobai¡¯s and found this weird coincidence.


    ¡°On the contrary, I think I am very fortunate..¡±

 Chapter 210 - Chapter 210: Chapter 210 Liquid Spiritual Power_l

    Chapter 210: Chapter 210 Liquid Spiritual Power_l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Chen Mobai put down the wine glass in his hand, his tone calm.


    Qi Rui and Xi Jinghuo looked at each other, not knowing where the ¡°good¡± is in


    this situation.


    ¡°Younger Brother Chen, although you have a rank-2 flying sword, you may win against some weaker True Disciples. However, Sister Ding Ying has occupied the position of a True Disciple for thirteen years now. Even without using the symbolic flower armor from our talisman making department, she has a solid prospect of advancing into the True Disciples,¡±


    As a cultivator in the same talisman making department, Qi Rm understood


    Ding Ying¡¯s strength best.


    In the past ten years, Ding Ying had been filling the number.


    But after E Yun and his group of people either established their foundations or retreated, she was now considered the first level in true lineage.


    ¡°Actually, the person I want to face is Mu Yuan.¡±


    But Chen Mobai¡¯s words made even Xi Jinghuo, the immortal second generation, unable to resist taking a cold breath.


    Who is Mu Yuan?


    The true disciple put forward by the leading hall of the three, Shenmu Hall, is a prodigy meant to succeed Zhou Wangshen, who has already established his foundation.


    It is said that his spiritual root talent is better than Zhou Wangshen¡¯s. If it wasn¡¯t for the Heavenly Spiritual Root, Mu Yuan would be the most talented disciple in the Shenmu sect in the past decade.


    in last year¡¯s sect competition, if it weren¡¯t for his young age and lack of experience in magic duels, he probably wouldn¡¯t have settled for fourth place.


    Even so, in order to defeat him, Yuan Chiye played all his cards, resulting in him being unable to compete with the other two in the final round of the competition for the sequence of the three true disciples, ranking third.


    In this year¡¯s sect competition, Mu Yuan is widely acknowledged as a seed candidate who can progress to the last round, the top three.


    ¡°Younger Brother Chen, I know you were a bit unwilling to admit defeat last year, but sometimes a person has to face their fate. Mu Yuan is too strong, backed by Shenmu Hall and with two rank-2 magic artifacts. Even the previous number one, Uncle Hong He, may not necessarily be able to suppress him in the Qi Cultivating Realm,¡±


    Qi Rui seriously advised.


    in the previous batch of true disciples, Hong He from the Penalty Evil Hall held the position of the first true disciple for a full ten years, with Zhou Wangshen and E Yun from Shenmu Hall alternating in the second and third positions.


    And Mu Yuan, already has the potential of Hong He.


    Many people believe that he would be able to suppress all the true disciples and lead the three thousand Qi Practitioners of Shenmu sect in the next ten years.


    ¡ö¡öIf I can make it to the 9th round, I will inevitably encounter him. We have to have a duel, otherwise, I won¡¯t feel satisfied,¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile. He had already seen the competition chart, the key battle of the 48 to 24 true disciples. As long as Ding Ying was not defeated beforehand, the two of them would face off.


    And if he could beat Ding Ying and defeat the next opponent, then if Mu Yuan really was as invincible as they said, Chen Mobai would meet his old rival in the eighth round of the six to three key battle.


    ¡°That¡¯s fine, but Younger Brother Chen, you mustn¡¯t act forcefully when the time comes. Like last year, if you can¡¯t win, just admit defeat,¡±


    Hearing Qi Rui¡¯s words, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say anything more. He simply lifted the wine glass in his hand to signal a toast.


    Xi Jinghuo looked at his expression, and felt a bit stunned, but after he was overwhelmed by the alcohol, he put it out of his mind.


    Only Zhuo Ming, because she didn¡¯t drink, had a clear view of the situation.


    There was no laughter in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes.


    [Brother Chen is serious!?]


    After a long half month of the first round, the trio who were drinking finally


    had their second round.


    Chen Mobai and Qi Rui, as ninth-level Qi cultivators, were subdivisions of True Disciple seeds defeated their enemies in one move.


    Xi Jinghuo met a sixth-level Qi cultivator with rich magic dueling experience, and it took quite some time to finally defeat his opponent using the Crimson


    Flame Sword Talisman.


    In the third and fourth rounds, Chen Mobai faced opponents in the late stages of Qi cultivation, but he let them do their best in order to test the power of the Divine Wood Sword. Unfortunately, the opponents were too weak, and none could withstand his attacks for more than ten moves.


    Finally, in the fifth round, he encountered a decent opponent, a True Disciple candidate named Guo Sheng. Guo Sheng was a student from the sword training department and practiced the Golden Light Sword Art ¨C outside of Mu Yuan, he was the strongest opponent Chen Mobai had encountered in the sect competition so far.


    Unfortunately for him, Guo Sheng had come across Chen Mobai, and without access to a Rank-2 Flying Sword, he chose not to use his Flying Sword altogether after a few clashes with Chen Mobai¡¯s Golden Light Sword and the Divine Wood Sword that dimmed his spiritual light.


    in the subsequent portion of the match, Guo Sheng chose to use his Sword Gang to battle, while Chen Mobai stayed defensive with his Divine Wood Sword, gradually learning about all attributes of this Rank-2 Flying Sword during the battle.


    As long as spiritual power was channeled into it, the attack executed by the Divine Wood Sword was equivalent to the ¡°Sword Gang Transforming Qi¡± of a sword cultivator ¨C essentially an unstoppable finishing move against Qi Practitioners.


    Only a Rank-2 defensive talisman or magic artifact could resist it.


    Guo Sheng exhausted all his means, relying on his thirty years of rich sword duel experience, and barely dodged seven attacks from Divine Wood Sword Qi, attempting to exhaust Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual power and turn defeat into victory.


    Unfortunately for him, Chen Mobai had surpassed the Qi Cultivating Realm by utilizing the Jade marrow pill, Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, and Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment cultivated from the immortal gates.


    Although he hadn¡¯t succeeded in Foundation Establishment,


    Chen Mobai had completed the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, and also begun Condensing Qi into Liquid.


    in the vortex at the core of his Dantian Qi Sea, two drops of liquid spiritual power had already formed.


    Each of these drops of liquid spiritual power was equivalent to the total spiritual power of a Qi practitioner at the peak of the ninth level. According to The Undying Scripture¡¯s take on Foundation Establishment, this second step of ¡°Condensing Qi into Liquid¡± required ten drops of such liquid spiritual power.


    During his time of Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai was not able to further develop due to not having reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, despite using elixirs and practicing in a Rank-3 Cultivation Room. He could only condense into two drops before reaching his limit, forcing him to hold this progress in a standstill with a last resort technique.


    Despite this, he had already surpassed the realm of Qi cultivation.


    As long as he was willing, he could spend these two drops of liquid spiritual power on casting a Rank-2 spell or fully activating the strongest power of the Divine Wood Sword.


    This was the force of the Foundation Establishment level, capable of crushing all Qi Practitioners.


    After Guo Sheng struggled to dodge four Divine Wood Sword Qi, he found an opportunity to attack up-close, but he was halted by a Crimson Flame Sword Talisman from Chen Mobai at the instant of his move.


    Hardly blocking the Red Flame Sword Qi with his last defensive talisman, Guo Sheng was struck with another Divine Wood Sword Qi from Chen Mobai before he could react.


    With no other options left, a desperate Guo Sheng conceded defeat just as the Sword Qi reached him. He had no means left.


    Not conceding would result in serious injury, even risking damage to his source.


    ¡°The victor, Chen Mobai!¡±


    Upon hearing the elder¡¯s announcement from the stage, Chen Mobai smiled, storing his Divine Wood Sword in his storage bag, and left the stage, gesturing to a sweaty and pale Guo Sheng before leaving.

    ¡°Chen, do you have a moment?¡±


    After stepping off the stage, he was greeted by an unexpected person.


    ¡°If Brother Yuan extends an invitation, of course, I have time.¡±


    Yuan Chiye smiled and turned around. Chen Mobai followed him into a private courtyard, and they sat in a pavilion by a pond where food and drinks were already prepared.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard you made an attempt to visit Sister Ding, but was turned away..¡±

    Chapter 211: Chapter 211: The Successor_l


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°I was too rash, mistaken the wrong person.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not understand what Yuan Chiye was implying, but indeed, he had recklessly approached Ding Ying.


    ¡°Actually, the one with me last time at the Southstream Market was Junior Sister Yin, but her identity is special. If the opposing sects find out, it could stir up trouble. If anything happens to her, our Divine Wood Sect could even start a sect war. Hence, we borrowed the identity of Junior Sister Ding.¡±


    Junior Sister Yin?


    So, she¡¯s really the one rumored to have the Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    Chen Mobai confirmed his suspicion, yet he presented an expression of ¡°shock.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll keep this secret and will not let anyone else know.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. In the end, if Junior Sister Yin does not establish her foundation, she won¡¯t be expelled by Elder Fu.¡±


    Yuan Chiye seemed to trust Chen Mobai very much, even revealing such sect secrets to him.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, in another two years, I plan to retreat and take the Foundation Building Pill. However, our faction does not have any successors in the True Disciples. If you¡¯re willing, I can talk to Junior Sister Ding and let you become a True Disciple this year.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes shifted slightly, surprised at the conditions that Yuan Chiye was willing to offer to recruit him.


    ¡°Senior Sister Ding might not agree.¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re willing, Uncle E would personally persuade Junior Sister Ding. After she obtains the Foundation Building Pill, holding the position of a True Disciple no longer makes sense.¡±


    Yuan Chiye¡¯s words made Chen Mobai fall silent. It seemed that the position of a True Disciple, which was of great importance to them, wasn¡¯t really that significant in the eyes of their superiors.


    That¡¯s right, isn¡¯t the main purpose of a True Disciple position to get the Foundation Building Pill?


    Those who have already obtained the Foundation Building Pill have indeed become somewhat annoying by continuing to hold onto the position.


    ¡°What do I have to do to join you? And what can I gain from it?¡±


    ¡°You would receive the care of our faction, but correspondingly, you would need to undertake some of my tasks in Yun Meng Ze when I retreat to take the Foundation Building Pill. The group of people from Southstream Market would be reassigned to you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai shook his head.


    He would indeed be willing, if he only had to stay in the Divine Wood Sect. However, the risk in Yun Meng Ze was too big. Without establishing his foundation, he didn¡¯t feel the need to take such risks.


    ¡°I owe Uncle E a favor; as long as I become a True Disciple, I¡¯ll claim to be belonging to your group.¡±


    The words of Chen Mobai surprised Yuan Chiye; he hadn¡¯t expected that answer.


    ¡°You mean, not join us, but still claim to be one of us?¡±


    ¡°Correct.¡±


    ¡°Without our help, it would take you at least five or six years to become a True Disciple. Plus, if you lose this time, the Spirit Plant Department won¡¯t lend you a Rank-2 Magic Artifact anymore. You might have to wait another decade for the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom to mature.¡±


    Although Yuan Chiye¡¯s words were quite cold, they were very realistic.


    ¡°What if I beat Senior Sister Ding?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked a question that made Yuan Chiye burst into laughter.


    ¡°That¡¯s impossible.¡±


    After this statement, the two stopped discussing the matter. They chatted on other topics and seeing the day getting late, Chen Mobai excused himself.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, our meeting today was delightful, but the wine was merely average. Once the Spiritual Wine I have made is ready, I¡¯ll invite you to another drink.¡±


    In the pavilion, Yuan Chiye watched Chen Mobai leave. He put down his wine cup and frowned, finishing the remaining half pot of wine in one gulp.


    This wine was worth three Spirit Stones, and was already among the better selections in Divine Wood City. It couldn¡¯t be wasted.


    ¡°You have such high hopes for him.¡±


    A shadow descended, an average-looking man with bright eyes ¨C E Yun was looking at Yuan Chiye, using his chopsticks to finish up the leftovers.


    ¡°Among the talented ones who emerged from Yun Country, Yu Lian was taken as a disciple by Elder Shan, the Luo siblings are the descendants of Uncle Luo, only he is the most innocent.¡±


    ¡°Although Liu Wenbo is also doing well, his Spiritual Root is somewhat lacking. Even with our help, the best he could do is to become a True Disciple.¡±


    ¡°After us, if we want to command respect among the True Disciples, I think he¡¯s the most suitable.¡±


    Yuan Chiye spoke honestly.


    During the previous Ferrying Spirit Mission, among the four countries under the Divine Wood Sect, excluding Jian Country where the sect was, the remaining Yun Country, Rain Country, and Lei Nation were given to E Yun, Hong He, and Zhou Wangshen respectively.


    Unfortunately, among the four talents selected from Yun Country, three were predestined.


    Yu Lian was okay as she was a lone ranger.


    Just like Chen Mobai, after leaving Bud Hall, she concentrated on cultivation.


    But the Luo siblings led away quite many people, making E Yun shortfall in manpower while developing Yun Meng Ze, lagging behind the other Foundation Establishment Elders.


    ¡°Let him hit walls for a few years, by the time the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom is nearing maturity, he will come to us.¡±


    E Yun said this after finishing his wine and food.


    ¡°Should we notify Junior Sister Ding? She seems to have some small grudges against Junior Brother Chen.¡±


    ¡°One must always suffer a bit before learning to bow. Junior Sister Ding knows what she¡¯s doing.¡±


    Hearing this, Yuan Chiye kept quiet.


    When Chen Mobai returned, he found Qi Rui drowning his sorrows in wine at the inn where they were staying.


    ¡°Did you lose?¡±


    He asked Xi Jinghuo, who was sitting aside. Jing Huo had been eliminated in the fourth round.


    However, Jing Huo believed he has a promising future and was confident that he could become a True Disciple before the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom matured.


    So, being eliminated in this sect competition did not bother him. He accepted it calmly.


    On the other hand, Qi Rui, after reaching the Qi Cultivation nine ranks, except for the first year when he breezed into the top 48 due to good luck, was eliminated in the fifth round during the past two years. This had dealt quite a blow to him as he had planned to make a name for himself.


    ¡°I encountered last year¡¯s True Disciple and couldn¡¯t beat her.¡±


    Qi Rui replied and sorrowfully drinks another mouthful.


    ¡°It seems like the three of us will conclude this competition together tomorrow.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo¡¯s words made Chen Mobai shake his head. This guy had already given up on him defeating Ding Ying.


    ¡°I need to rest now. I should take tomorrow¡¯s match seriously.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai left.


    Xi Jinghuo and Qi Rui looked at each other, both left speechless.


    There was no way to win against Ding Ying, so how was he supposed to prepare?


    Prepare to lose gracefully?


    Today, the sect competition finally reached the battle for the twenty-four spots of True Disciples.


    ¡°Junior Brother Mu Yuan, please.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai sat in a tavern, watching the first match below.


    Mu Yuan¡¯s opponent was a True Disciple who had already obtained the Foundation Building Pill. Xi Jinghuo explained that it was the sect¡¯s initiative to encourage those who had obtained the Foundation Building Pill last year and were still occupying their positions to leave.


    Unfortunately, Yuan Chiye suppressed Mu Yuan last year, who was sent by Shenmu Hall to clean up the field.


    But he might not be able to suppress him this year.


    Chen Mobai looked at Mu Yuan emotionlessly knocking his opponent off the stage, pondering to himself..

 Chapter 212 - Chapter 212: Chapter 212 – One Sword_1

    Chapter 212: Chapter 212 ¨C One Sword_1


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai stood on the stage, bowing to the voluptuous woman in red in front of him.


    ¡°I¡¯m surprised you had the courage to come up here.


    Ding Ying¡¯s face was relaxed, her right hand held two green and yellow talismans. She was slowly approaching Chen Mobai, gradually exerting pressure.


    ¡°After all, we¡¯re now in the sixth round. Passing this stage would mean becoming a True Disciple of the Sect. Regardless of how strong the opponent is, I still want to give it a try.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke humbly, expressing his determination not to give up and his desire to fight for victory.


    ¡°Do you think you can defeat me?¡±


    Upon hearing his words, Ding Ying couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth with a surprised laugh, as if she had just heard an uncontrollable joke.


    ¡°Hmm!¡±


    To this, Chen Mobai only responded with one word.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Ding Ying widened her eyes, unable to understand where his confidence came from.


    Sensing this, she snorted, and threw the yellow talisman from her hand. With a loud noise, a fireball with a diameter of half a meter suddenly appeared and fell onto Chen Mobai¡¯s head. It was about to engulf him completely.


    A pure green Flying Sword soared into the sky, circling around the fireball and transforming it into a rain of fire.


    The entire stage seemed to be showered with fire rain, but Chen Mobai blocked it all with a Defensive Talisman.


    ¡°Without this Divine Wood Sword, you won¡¯t even be able to withstand one of


    my attacks.¡±


    In the midst of Ding Ying¡¯s cold laugh, another green talisman ignited a Spiritual Light and fell to her feet.


    Immediately afterwards, a tree sapling burst forth from the earth and in the blink of an eye grew into a tree two meters high.


    ¡°This is¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai found this move somewhat familiar, but Ding Ying¡¯s next move made him understand why it looked familiar.


    He saw her slap a talisman into the tree. A clear and pure light emanated, transforming into a green aura that made the entire stage tremble. This aura was condensed into a fist-sized pillar of light at the tip of Ding Ying¡¯s right hand.


    ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light!?¡±


    Back on the Green Light Island, their team could only withstand the flock of Black Plague Birds and even repel the Rank-2 Bird King due to the Spirit Tree s assistance.


    However, if Ding Ying could activate the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡± by herself, likely no one within the True Disciples could compete against her.


    After calming down, Chen Mobai analyzed and found the difference between this green light and the Heavenly Wood Divine Light.


    It seemed like a degraded version of Heavenly Wood Divine Light.


    ¡°Losing to my Rank- 2 Heavenly Wood Talisman is something you should be proud of.¡±


    Although Ding Ying¡¯s words were dismissive, her actual actions were very cautious. After all, Chen Mobai was at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and had a Rank-2 Flying Sword at hand.


    This Heavenly Wood Talisman was one of her trump cards. She lifted her head, her right fingers pointed at Chen Mobai, the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light began to rotate, forming a spiraling spearhead.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai pressed his sword finger, the Divine Wood Sword hummed. He was ready to give Ding Ying an unforgettable defeat.


    A drop of Liquid Spiritual Power flowed out from the Qi Sea of his Dantian, running through his fingertips into the sword.


    In an instant, the Divine Wood Sword, like pure green silk, shot out from his fingers.


    At the same time, Ding Ying also launched her Heavenly Wood Spirit Light Spear.


    In the midst of the piercing noise, the spiraling green spearhead, akin to a cannonball, distorted the air and even split open the platform it passed by. Possessing a terrifying strength that could crush all protective spiritual lights, it collided with the tip of the Pure Green Flying Sword controlled by Chen


    Mobai.


    After a sharp boom, under the unbelieving gaze of the crowd, the Pure Green Flying Sword bloomed with an even clearer spiritual light, exploding with a horrifyingly powerful Divine Wood Sword Qi. It managed to break through Ding Ying¡¯s Heavenly Wood Spirit Light in a direct confrontation.


    After the Sword Qi split open the spiraling spearhead formed by Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, it continued its momentum, slashing straight towards Ding Ying.


    Petals of vibrant flying flowers spontaneously appeared out of thin air, forming into a robust talisman armor, and miraculously blocked the powerful Divine Wood Sword Qi in the nick of time.


    In the midst of the loud ¡°bang¡±, the reinforced platform shuddered violently. Ding Ying¡¯s body involuntarily drew back, again and again, and the protection of the flying flower talisman armor began to fade. It seemed on the verge of complete collapse. Her face drastically changed, and she used a secret technique that allowed her to boost her spiritual power at the expense of elemental energy.


    Blue and red halos intertwined and flickered on her beautiful face. In an instant, the green spirit force was swallowed up by the red spirit force.


    This was a method of using the ¡°Two Phased Technique¡±. Using Wood Attribute Spirit Force to sate the Fire Attribute Spirit Force, causing the latter to triple its power in an instant.


    With this as her trump card, Ding Ying had been able to keep her position as a True Disciple for over a decade.


    In a thought, the flying flower talisman armor that was on the verge of collapsing under the strike of the Divine Wood Sword Qi burst into an even brighter red light. The disappearing runes began to reappear, reassembling into a complete set of defensive talisman armour.


    And at that moment, the Divine Wood Sword Qi fully exploded. The clear Spiritual Light spread out, attracting nature¡¯s spiritual energy from the surroundings, transforming into a surge of Sword Qi which violently bombarded the flying flower talisman armor.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Rows of petal-shaped runes dimmed under the impact of the Sword Qi, breaking up and disappearing.


    Ding Ying could no longer sustain it. She spat out blood and got thrown out of the ring.


    ¡°This, this is impossible!¡±


    Disregarding the blood trickling from her mouth, she widened her eyes, struggling to get up from the ground and staring at Chen Mobai who recalled his flying Sword back to his side.


    She had faced the Divine Wood Sword before, how could it possibly be this strong?


    Even her prided ultimate attack, along with the flying flower talisman armor, were unable to deflect this powerful Sword Qi.


    If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t sheathed his sword at the end, she might have lost her life on the spot.


    What on earth is this power?


    ¡°Sister Ding, thank you for the lesson.¡±


    Chen Mobai appeared calm, with a flick of his Sword, the Divine Wood Sword trembling slightly, like a swimming fish, flying into the storage bag at his waist.


    Defeating the enemy with a single blow and seeing Ding Ying¡¯s unwillingness, fear, and disbelief, Chen Mobai felt satisfaction seeping away at the frustration in his heart.


    But after that, he was left with a sense of emptiness and disillusionment.


    After a long wait, it seemed the elder presiding over this round was still in shock. Only after a while did he announce that Chen Mobai was the winner. As he stepped down the ring, he saw the astonished Qi Rui, with his mouth wide open, the shocked Xi Jing Huo, with a hand covering his mouth, and the stunned Zhuo Ming.


    Also, on top of the neighboring tavern, holding a wine glass in a daze, was Yuan Chiye along with the greatly shocked Liu Wen Bo standing beside him. ¡°Chen, from today onwards, your name will echo through the entire Divine Wood Sect just like Elder Hong He.¡±

    Qi Rui was overcome with emotion. He remembered the naive boy who was fumbling around when faced with the demonic beast¡¯s attack on Green Light Island.


    Back then, he did envision Chen Mobai becoming a part of the Divine Wood Sect, and maybe even a True Disciple. But he absolutely didn¡¯t think that in less than four years this innocent youth would grow so much.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯re going to celebrate today, let¡¯s drink.


    Chen Mobai smiled and called out to Qi Rui and the others, planning to comfort him after his expected defeat, leading them towards their regular tavern.


    Luckily, Yuan Chiye was also there..

 Chapter 213 - Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Sword Training Part__l

    Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Sword Training Part__l


    Translator: 549690339


    However, by the time Chen Mobai and his group ascended to the second floor, Yuan Chiye had already left, apparently not through the front door but flew straight out of a second-story window.


    Really, how could the leader of a faction be so thin-skinned?


    Chen Mobai shook his head, only to realize that Liu Wenbo had not left yet.


    ¡°Brother Chen, Brother Yuan said that Uncle E wants to see you after the sect¡¯s grand competition.¡±


    E Yun!


    Was he here just now?


    Chen Mobai nodded gently. Whether in terms of courtesy or reason, he wanted


    to express his gratitude to E Yun in person.


    ¡°Brother Chen, congratulations on becoming a true disciple.


    After delivering Yuan Chiye¡¯s message, Liu Wenbo respectfully bowed to Chen


    Mobai.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for such formalities, let¡¯s all sit down.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately gestured for him to rise, then invited the four of them to sit.


    ¡°You have already reserved a Foundation Building Pill in the next batch. I just don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll get the chance.¡±


    Qi Rui sighed. He had quite a bit of confidence in himself, but the crushing defeat in the sect¡¯s grand competitions these last two years had truly shaken him.


    Regarding this, all Chen Mobai could do was console him.


    Honestly, those true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect were all quite skilled.


    If he hadn¡¯t suppressed them solely based on his realm, and if he hadn¡¯t had the Divine Wood Sword, capable of displaying its full power, in his hand, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to defeat Ding Ying in one sword blow.


    Qi Rui¡¯s realm was sufficient, and his Magic Duel experience rich, but he was missing a powerful killer move.


    Ding Ying, for example, had the dual-phase rotation, Heavenly Wood Talisman, and even the Flying Flower Talisman Armor-three powerful techniques. Most true disciples had one or two, and with such strength, she was already at the top among them all.


    Unfortunately, she met Chen Mobai, who suppressed others purely based on his realm. Facing the power of Core Formation, all three powerful techniques were broken and she was completely defeated.


    ¡°After Ding Ying was defeated by Brother Chen this year, the rune production department will naturally follow the flow and will no longer lend her the Flying Flower Talisman Armor. You¡¯re also part of the rune production department, so you might want to think about making a move.¡±


    Xi Jinghuo gave a suggestion. Hearing this, Qi Rui¡¯s eyes lit up, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.


    After Ding Ying was defeated, though there were still eight or nine individuals at Qi Cultivation Rank-9 in the rune production department queue, he at least had the chance to apply for a second-ranking rune formation.


    Unlike before, as long as Ding Ying did not step down, everyone else could only stare in van.


    ¡°Jing Huo, you¡¯re right. I wonder if you could help me out here. I¡¯ve been in the sect for twenty-three years and have accumulated some spirit stones and contributions.¡±


    Although Xi Jinghuo¡¯s cultivation level was ordinary, he had a Core Formation grandfather and pretty good Spiritual Root Talent, which made him one of the heavenly favored ones in the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°I have a bit of influence in our Sword Training Department, but I don¡¯t know anyone in your rune production department.¡±


    ¡°How about I transfer to your Sword Training Department?


    ¡°It¡¯s easy to transfer in, but our Sword Training Department¡¯s true disciple positions are first decided through internal sword duels each year. Even my senior brother Qi Hou, who is my grandfather¡¯s disciple, couldn¡¯t defeat senior brother Feng and thus couldn¡¯t obtain a second-tier flying sword.¡± Xi Jinghuo¡¯s words caused Qi Rui to sigh once again. Chen Mobai was helpless in this situation.


    In the end, the true disciple position hinged mainly on strength.


    ¡°However, next year our Sword Training Department is planning to organize a group to exchange studies at Golden Cliff. I¡¯m part of the group, and if you¡¯re willing to pay some spirit stones, we can go together.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been there once, but my path in the Red Flame Sword technique tends more towards rune techniques, so it doesn¡¯t align well with Golden Cliff¡¯s pure sword path.¡±


    ¡°Why not try training in dual-phase rotation?¡±


    In the end, Xi Jinghuo suggested another plan.


    Generally speaking, the strength disparity among those at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation wouldn¡¯t be large. With secondary-rated talisman magic weapons, it could virtually determine the outcome of a match.


    But without considering external factors and judging based only on the spiritual power realm, those who practiced the dual-phase rotation technique undoubtedly had the advantage over those who specialized in one area.


    However, the benefits and drawbacks of the Dual-phase technique are quite evident.


    Only those with ample Spirit Stone resources and gifted Spiritual Root Talent can cultivate both techniques to the peak of Qi Cultivation.


    Qi Rui¡¯s Spiritual Root is decent, and he has also managed to save up some Spirit Stones over the years. If he wanted to cultivate the Dual-phase technique, he would have to invest all of these resources, even using his hard-earned contributions intended for the exchange of Foundation Building Pills on these cultivation resources.


    Moreover, while the resources needed during the Qi Cultivation phase of the Dual-phase technique are barely manageable, once one reaches Foundation Establishment, without the support of a sect or a prestigious family, it would be almost impossible for the cultivator to persist until Core Formation. Bear in mind that the previous generation¡¯s True Disciple, E Yun, did not practice the Dual-phase technique for this very reason, focusing solely on The Scripture of Everlasting Life.


    Having successfully established his Foundation, he is now regarded as having the potential to reach Core Formation.


    Thanks to not having the burden of the Dual-phase technique and the added century of life granted by The Scripture of Everlasting Life, as long as he doesn¡¯t experience a premature collapse, he can essentially be assured of reaching the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment.


    As for whether he can reach Core Formation or not, that¡¯s entirely up to fate. ¡°Thank you for your advice, Brother Xi. I will give it some serious thought.¡± The words of Xi Jinghuo touched Qi Rui¡¯s heart, and he decided to withdraw and contemplate it further after finishing his drink.


    ¡°Brother Xi, I wonder if there are any restrictions for the Sword Training Department¡¯s quota for going to Golden Cliff?¡±


    The one asking this question was Liu Wenbo. Chen Mobai knew that he was also cultivating the Dual-phase technique, probably both The Scripture of Everlasting Life and the Red Flame Sword Jue. He too was on the path of a Sword Cultivator.


    ¡°The limit is one hundred people. Cultivators in the late stage of Qi Cultivation from our Sword Training Department are given priority. If there are any vacancies, they will be opened up to other departments.¡±


    -If you want to go, you can first give Brother Wen from our Sword Training Department a hundred Spirit Stones to reserve a spot.¡±


    ¡°If there is no place for you later on, these hundred Spirit Stones will be refunded back to you.¡±


    After hearing this, Liu Wenbo stood up and thanked Xi Jinghuo.


    ¡°Brother Chen, are you interested? I have noticed you practicing your sword skills, and it seems your achievements are quite impressive.


    Xi Jinghuo implied.


    Although his defeat of Ding Ying with one strike of the sword was seen by outsiders as the merit of his Rank-2 Magic Artifact, the Divine Wood Sword, as a disciple of the Sword Training Department, Xi Jinghuo knew that without a solid foundation in Sword Dao, even a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage couldn¡¯t strike such a formidable sword blow.


    ¡°I will see, if there is a chance, I would like to visit Golden Cliff.


    This was, after all, the top sword sect in the Eastern Wilderness and the best ally of the Divine Wood Sect. The disciples of the two sects referred to each other as brothers.


    As for Chen Mobai¡¯s sword foundation, it was entirely elevated by the Casting Sword Ring.


    It was very unstable.


    The five of them drank until the end of this round of the True Disciple competition.


    The last one on stage was Yuan Chiye, who won quite effortlessly.


    However, after watching the competition, Chen Mobai knew that this time¡¯s sect competition was going to be a breeze for him.


    No one could match him!

    in the seventh round, his opponent was another True Disciple from last year. However, his secret body-forging technique, which was claimed to be invulnerable during the Qi Cultivation stage, ended up knocked unconscious on the ground, bleeding from all orifices, after withstanding seven consecutive strikes of the Divine Wood Sword Qi from Chen Mobai.


    In the eighth round, during the attention-grabbing twelve-to-six heats. Chen Mobai encountered the seventh ranked True Disciple from last year, from the Artifact Refining Department. Apart from a Rank-2 Magic Artifact borrowed from his department, he also had a Rank-2 Defensive Magic Weapon of his own.


    This battle was the most difficult one that Chen Mobai had encountered in the competition. He couldn¡¯t break through the opponent¡¯s Defensive Magic Weapon with conventional means.


    He could only use the Liquid Spiritual Power again to unleash the strongest attack of the Divine Wood Sword with the force equivalent to the Foundation Establishment level, and forcibly blast his opponent along with his Defensive Magic Weapon off the stage.


    He advanced to the ninth round..

    ¡°It¡¯s basically confirmed now.¡±


    After Chen Mobai defeated the true disciple of the Artifact Refining Department, two young men standing at the window of the restaurant, who had watched the entire battle, nodded slightly and said.


    ¡°He has reached the realm of Rainbow Sword Qi!¡±


    Hearing this, Ding Ying, who sat behind them, looked pale. She was initially considering revenge again in the next event.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the rumors to be true. Indeed, only a peerless genius could understand the third realm of sword cultivation before even establishing their foundation.¡±


    The other man, with a broad and robust physique and bearing high spirits, watched Chen Mobai casually stepping off the stage after defeating his opponent, his eyes sparking with a strong fighting spirit.


    ¡°Nephew Feng, what are your chances if you cross swords with him?¡± Zhou Wangshen asked Feng Hongxue who was sitting beside him. Feng


    Hongxue, the elder brother of the Sword Training Department, closed his eyes and recalled the sword strike dealt by Chen Mobai just now.


    After a long time, he opened his eyes and shook his head.


    ¡°I have no chances at all. In the Qi Cultivating Realm, nobody can withstand his sword!¡±


    After saying this, Feng Hongxue faced Ding Ying apologetically.


    ¡°Junior Sister Ding, I intended to help you take your revenge, but I can¡¯t beat this man.¡±


    Hearing this, Ding Ying still seemed somewhat unwilling to give up.


    ¡°Uncle Zhou, my dispute with him is all because of Sister Yin. With his current momentum, if he truly succeeds in Foundation Establishment, I may not be able to stay in the sect for the rest of my life.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will personally help you resolve this.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen nodded, his eyes fixating on Chen Mobai below while he continued to ask Feng Hongxue.


    ¡°His next opponent is Mu Yuan, the treasured disciple of our Sect Leader. Who do you think will win?¡±


    As last year¡¯s number one true disciple, Feng Hongxue answered without any hesitation.


    ¡°Regardless of how strong Mu Yuan is, I have confidence in defeating him, but against the realm of Rainbow Sword Qi, I don¡¯t even have the courage to challenge.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhou Wangshen wore a smile on his face.


    ¡°Indeed, our Divine Wood Sect is blessed.¡±


    ¡°Since we parted ways from the Five Elements Sect, we not only have Elder Fu¡¯s Core Formation but also a shocking genius like Brother Hong He, and a Heavenly Spiritual Root disciple. Now, we even have a peerless Sword


    Cultivation Genius.¡±


    ¡°When I succeed as the Sect Leader in the future, I¡¯ll have plenty of talents under my command. Maybe we can reunify the Five Elements under the name of Divine Wood.¡±


    Hearing Zhou Wangshen¡¯s words, Ding Ying knew that in the future days in Divine Wood Sect, she would probably need to avoid Chen Mobai.


    Compared to a peerless genius who grasped Rainbow Sword Qi within the Qi Cultivation Realm, she, as a mere true disciple, may not even be one-tenth as important as Chen Mobai in the eyes of the sect¡¯s upper echelon.


    Unless, she succeeded in Foundation Establishment!


    It appeared that she couldn¡¯t delay any longer. Originally hesitant about taking the Foundation Building Pill, Ding Ying finally made up her mind after hearing Zhou Wangshen¡¯s words.


    [Maybe, this is the opportunity for me to establish my foundation.] Ding Ying thought so, and at this moment, Zhou Wangshen took out a Talisman and handed it to Feng Hongxue.


    ¡°This is¡­ the Spirit Leaf Talisman!¡±


    As the elder sister of the Talisman Maker¡¯s Department, seeing this Talisman, Ding Ying couldn¡¯t help but widen her eyes.


    This was a precious talisman made from the leaves of the sect¡¯s Rank-3 Golden Yang Wood. Its highest potential rank was Rank- 3, making it one of the most potent defensive talismans in the lineage of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Talisman Makers.


    ¡°The talisman I created had a defect, it¡¯s only intermediate grade Rank-2. But it should be enough to withstand Chen Guixian¡¯s sword.¡±


    After receiving this talisman, Feng Hongxue, whose eyes were initially half-closed, instantly opened them, his fighting spirit ignited.


    ¡°Sword Qi Long Rainbow is a level that only Foundation Establishment sword cultivators can achieve. Even if he¡¯s a once-in-a-lifetime prodigy, at the Qi Cultivating Realm, he can only release one sword strike at most. If I can manage to handle his attack, I might be able to defeat him.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ding Ying started to get excited. Indeed, Zhou Wangshen, with his proud spirit, wouldn¡¯t stand by and let Chen Mobai oppress him for ten years like Hong He did.


    However, Zhou Wangshen¡¯s next words sent chills down her spine. ¡°After you defeat him, raise your hand and forfeit, and let him have the first position among the true disciples.¡±


    Even Feng Hongxue, who held the Spirit Leaf Talisman in his hand, hadn¡¯t expected Zhou Wangshen to say such a thing, and his hand holding the talisman suddenly stiffened.


    ¡°Uncle Zhou, is this really proper?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s improper about it? You can only win against him if you have my talisman. Based on true power, the first position among the true disciples should have been his in the first place, shouldn¡¯t it?¡±


    As Zhou Wangshen said these words, his eyes, like bronze bells, looked at Feng Hongxue who met his gaze stubbornly. But after pondering for a while, he had to admit that he was right.


    Indeed, considering their true power, in the Qi Cultivating Realm, Chen Mobai can indeed be said to be unrivaled.


    ¡°I understand,¡± vouched Feng Hongxue.


    After hearing this, Zhou Wangshen nodded in satisfaction, then got up and left. When Chen Mobai was stepping off the stage, he felt many eyes watching him, one of them even gave him a very dangerous feeling.


    It must be a true cultivator of the Foundation Establishment stage.


    But having defeated Ding Ying, he had already become accustomed to these kinds of gazes.


    The next round was the battle he was looking forward to the most in this sect tournament.


    He walked to the bottom of another arena, and the Divine Wood Sect disciple who recognized him immediately made way for him.


    Chen Mobai thanked him and then went to the bottom of the stage.


    The two fighters on the stage were Mu Yuan and Yuan Chiye.


    Chen Mobai was sure that the person who arranged this battle chart must have confirmed this fight first before arranging for others.


    Before he burst into the scene, the magic duel between Mu Yuan and Yuan Chiye was without a doubt, the most anticipated one by the entire Divine Wood Sect.


    Last year, Mu Yuan narrowly lost to Yuan Chiye, but this year, after a year of intense cultivating, both his spiritual power and his spells are more refined, almost a perfect copy of E Yun.


    It¡¯s still uncertain whether Yuan Chiye can suppress him this year.


    ¡°Senior Brother Chen, who do you think will win?¡±


    Zhuo Ming, who had been following Chen Mobai these days, couldn¡¯t help but ask as she watched the duel.


    ¡°I hope Mu Yuan wins.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Brother Yuan is not bad, I was originally hoping that he would win.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Zhuo Ming¡¯s face was filled with disappointment. ¡°I just said that I hope Mu Yuan wins, because I don¡¯t want to knock Brother Yuan off the stage, and also hoping to shake off the regret of last year¡¯s defeat.¡± As Chen Mobai had predicted, the outcome was just as expected.


    Mu Yuan and Yuan Chiye contributed the most exciting duel of this sect tournament. Both of them were EQUAL in strength and their understanding and utilization of their Cultivation Techniques and spells were at their peak. Even rank-2 Magic Artifacts were at their command.


    It was a pity that Mu Yuan¡¯s sharpness was superior. In the end, Yuan Chiye didn¡¯t want to deplete his elemental energy to perform the Dual-phase Rotation. After the final spell duel, he voluntarily stepped off the stage.


    This meant that in the ninth round, Chen Mobai¡¯s opponent would be Mu Yuan. The moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived; just before Foundation Establishment, this sect tournament was the perfect opportunity to address all the regrets in his heart..

 Chapter 215 - Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Sword Raising _1

    Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Sword Raising _1


    Translator: 549690339


    The head of the Divine Wood Sect is Meng Hong, a seemingly kind-hearted elder with white hair.


    He particularly likes fishing. There is a Rank-3 water vein lake in the middle of Giant Tree Ridge where he regularly goes.


    Today, Mu Yuan was planning to participate in the ninth round of the Sect¡¯s competition, but Meng Hong unexpectedly called him over.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, your opponent today is powerful, if you feel you can¡¯t hold on, concede directly.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Mu Yuan, who had originally lowered his head, immediately looked up, his face showing absolute disbelief.


    In Mu Yuan¡¯s mind, he thought,[I have already defeated Yuan Chiye. The only ones who pose a threat are Feng Hongxue and Mo Yingyang. What can Chen Guixian, who couldn¡¯t withstand even a single move from me last year, do?] Of course, he could not voice these thoughts out loud. Mu Yuan merely frowned and muttered one sentence.


    ¡°I will never lose!¡±


    Hearing this, Meng Hong didn¡¯t feel like explaining further and just waved his hand, signaling Mu Yuan to leave.


    ¡°This boy is talented, only his pride is a bit of an issue. After this Sect competition, should I send him out for some experience?¡±


    After Mu Yuan left, another grey-haired elder appeared. He was the leader of the mysterious witchcraft division, and his name was Cang Qi.


    He sat with Meng Hong, both of them holding fishing poles and enjoying their favorite pastime.


    ¡°That was the original plan, but with the Foundation Building Pill anticipated to be ready in two months, I was thinking of giving him an opportunity after he becomes the first True Disciple.¡±


    ¡°Originally? So, you are not thinking of doing so now?¡±


    Upon hearing Cang Qi¡¯s query, Meng Hong just chuckled and didn¡¯t respond directly. Instead, he asked another question.


    ¡°I asked you to investigate Chen Guixian¡¯s background. What do you reckon?¡± ¡°He¡¯s a diligent cultivator. After entering Giant Tree Ridge, apart from cultivating, he focuses on farming and brewing wine. He visits Divine Wood City a few times a year at most to consult on spirit plants and have a drink with a few of his friends from the Sect. However, it¡¯s strange that during his first year after joining the Sect, he didn¡¯t participate in the grand competition.¡± After listening to Cang Qi, Meng Hong nodded, then picked up his fishing pole and caught a carp with red scales. It was released back into the water after which, Meng Hong began to speak about another matter related to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°He¡¯s seen as Sun Gaochang¡¯s man. I also made some inquiries a few days ago. It seems he has always been very interested in the Foundation Building Pill that has been under process.¡±


    ¡°Ah, so you mean if it were not for this queue for the Foundation Building Pill, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have even taken part in the Sect¡¯s competition for the last two years?¡±


    ¡°Most likely, if we didn¡¯t have this catalyst, we might have to wait for the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms to mature before we discovered the hidden Sword Cultivation Genius within the Sect.¡±


    Meng Hong¡¯s conversation made Cang Qi ponder. In the entire history of the Eastern Wilderness, there have only been a handful of extraordinary talents who understudied the third realm of Sword Cultivation Technique and could utilise it without suffering major injuries to their elemental energy, before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.


    ¡°So, you mean, the Foundation Building Pill that the elder brother is preparing should be reserved for him?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll see how it pans out. After all, with a stroke of luck, the pill could yield two to three pieces. Also, we are merely speculating here. What if this Chen Guixian desires perfection in Foundation Establishment and prefers to wait for an orthodox Foundation Building Pill rather than the Demonic beasts¡¯?¡± Hearing this, Cang Qi understood that, in reality, Meng Hong was slightly biased towards Mu Yuan.


    The fact that the Demonic beasts¡¯ Foundation Building Pill is still in preparation is indeed fortuitous for the Divine Wood Sect. If Mu Yuan ingests it, and it leads to direct success in Foundation Establishment, then all the better.


    Even if it fails, he can wait seven years for the orthodox Foundation Building Pill from Back to Sky Valley and try Foundation Establishment for the second time.


    Generally, dual Spiritual Root geniuses have more than a fifty percent probability of success after two attempts at Foundation Establishment.


    It was indeed a good plan at first.


    However, Chen Guixian emerged halfway and caused disruption.


    According to the Sect¡¯s rules, if the First True Disciple needs a Foundation Building Pill, he needs to be supplied first.


    There¡¯s nothing even the Sect Leader can do.


    Unless there are private negotiations to make him voluntarily give up.


    But, according to the information Cang Qi collected on Chen Guixian, it is clear that this man is completely dedicated to his cultivation practices.


    Even before he reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, he had already been asking Ding Ying and other True Disciples whether they were selling Foundation Building Pills.


    Now, he has reached Qi Cultivation Perfection and has comprehended Rainbow Sword Qi, a Foundation Establishment level power. No more needs to be said.


    Even if the Sect Leader¡¯s disciple blocks his path, he probably wouldn¡¯t show any respect.


    ¡°Chen Guixian is originally from Yun Country, and it seems like E Yun has some ties with him.¡±


    Cang Qi reminded Meng Hong indirectly, but Meng Hong just shook his head.


    ¡°I asked him as well, but it¡¯s just rumors. E Yun tried to recruit him, but a man of ¡®iron-hearted Sword Dao¡¯ like him would never agree to live under someone else. He flatly refused, leaving no room for discussion.¡±


    ¡°Having such a genius as him in our Sect is fortunate, but shouldn¡¯t we investigate his background to ensure he isn¡¯t sent by another sect?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Hong nodded and pulled out another file to hand to the grey-haired elder next to him.


    ¡°When E Yun recruited him, he had already launched an investigation. Although he¡¯s a lone cultivator, based on some details he unwittingly revealed, we were able to trace his path to Immortal Cultivation.¡±


    ¡°E Yun found a Water Mansion, and I had my eyes and ears at Kunyuan Mountain investigate it. They confirmed it was an offshoot of the Five Elements Sect before the family split. They also found the town guard of the mansion beforehand, a man named Liu Yanpei who practiced Blackwater Cultivation. Unfortunately, it seems he fled out of fear during our family¡¯s split. Later, when he resurfaced, the Five Elements Sect regarded him as a traitor and chased him down to kill him.¡±


    ¡°Chen Guixian stumbled upon his immortal fate. He got separated from his family amidst the chaos of change of regime and entered the Water Mansion whose formation was weakened due to Liu Yanpei¡¯s escape. He acquired Liu Yanpei¡¯s cultivation technique and commenced his journey of Immortal Cultivation. He used to sell the Black Water Cultivation Technique in South Creek Fang Market in order to attain Spirit Stones. He also revealed his Cold Ice Technique when defending against Demonic beasts on Green Light Island. All these clues match.¡±


    After reading this background check, Cang Qi couldn¡¯t help but nod his head.


    Compared to other lone cultivators, Chen Guixian could be considered innocent.


    ¡°Most importantly, if he was a spy sent by another sect, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to cultivate such an excellent Sword Dao Realm.¡±


    Meng Hong¡¯s words made sense to Cang Qi.


    Most Sword Cultivators reflect their Dao heart in their Sword hearts.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Those with conspiracies and calculations in their hearts will never be able to master Rainbow Sword Qi at the Qi Cultivation Realm.


    Chen Guixian is simply an earnest cultivator devoted to Sword Cultivation.


    ¡°He may surpass Hong He in the future, but he may also fall more easily than Hong He.¡±


    Cang Qi sighed. Most Sword Cultivators won¡¯t give in easily. As Chen Guixian progresses on his Sword Dao, his character might become even more radical. ¡°He probably knows this, which is why he engages in farming and brewing, to temper his Sword heart. Unless something major crops up in the Sect in the future, let him continue his strenuous cultivation in Giant Tree Ridge.¡±


    ¡°Yes, this sword should be well nurtured within the sect. When it¡¯s unsheathed, it will definitely shock the entire Eastern Wilderness..¡±

 Chapter 216 - Chapter 216: Chapter 216 Domain Expansion_l

    Chapter 216: Chapter 216 Domain Expansion_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai had no idea that his mere application of liquid spiritual power at the Foundation Establishment level to wield the maximum strength of the Divine Wood Sword had led the Divine Wood Sect to acclaim him as an unparalleled genius in sword cultivation.


    There was just one thing on his mind right now.


    Defeating his current opponent to avenge his humiliating defeat last year.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re capable of, but against me, you have no choice but to lose.¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could even reply, Mu Yuan took the initiative to speak. After he finished speaking, he directly activated a light-blue talisman.


    The Heavenly Wood Talisman!


    But unlike Ding Ying, he activated this talisman in conjunction with a lightly gray-green seed.


    The moment the seed hit the ground, it immediately sprouted, instantaneously transforming into a three-meter-high tree with a crown as radiant as the morning clouds.


    Since Chen Mobai had previously only exchanged for the cultivation method of the Scripture of Longevity and had not exchanged for any corresponding spells, he was unaware that this Heavenly Wood Talisman was the corresponding talisman for the most powerful ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡± of the Scripture of Longevity. It is also the most perfect and robust magic system in the Divine Wood Sect.


    Above Green Light Island, Chen Mobai had already witnessed the prowess of the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡±. It includes cultivation of the spirit veins, gathering spiritual energy, attacking with Heavenly Wood Divine Light, defending with a Spirit Leaves Light Shield, and can be regarded as the most all-rounded formation with no blind spots.


    The highest culmination of the Scripture of Longevity¡¯s cultivation leads to becoming the formation itself.


    Wherever you are, you become a ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡±, covering heaven and earth with Heavenly Wood Divine Light, sweeping through all directions.


    However, cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm certainly cannot achieve this.


    Therefore, before the Divine Wood lineage split from the Five Elements Sect, the Hun Yuan ancestor developed the ¡°Heavenly Wood Talisman¡± to assist Qi refining disciples in using the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡±.


    The Heavenly Wood Talisman seals within it a spirit of wood which can make the prepared ¡°tree seed¡± grow instantly, transforming into the spirit tree array eye needed for the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡±.


    While the grade of this Heavenly Wood Talisman varies, most of its power still depends on the quality level of the tree seed.


    Although Ding Ying had a Rank-2 Heavenly Wood Talisman, the tree seed was only at Rank-1 peak. Naturally, it was incredibly powerful when facing the Qi Refining level, but against genuine Rank-2 Sword Qi, it could only end in devastation.


    However, the aura of Mu Yuan¡¯s tree seed was different. The luxuriantly verdant spirit tree that blossomed radiated a faint presence, reminding Chen Mobai of the spirit tree he had defended on Green Light Island.


    A Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Tree!


    Because Mu Yuan had used this move in his battle against Yuan Chiye, Chen Mobai had already thoroughly investigated his moves.


    Even though he was quite confident in his own half-step Foundation Establishment realm, being confident does not mean being arrogant. He made it a point to ask about anything he didn¡¯t understand.


    As a second-generation immortal cultivator and practitioner of the dual-phase technique, Xi Jinghuo is very knowledgeable about the Scripture of Longevity.


    When Chen Mobai asked, he explained everything about the Heavenly Wood Talisman and tree seeds to him.


    Cultivators outside the Eastern Wilderness call the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s move¡ª ¡°Domain Expansion¡±.


    Once the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡± is activated in the right spirit vein, even the formidable sword cultivators dare not fight head-on with the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s cultivators.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the formation cannot be moved once activated, the Divine Wood Sect would have long dominated the Eastern Wilderness.


    However, this weakness is perfectly compensated for in this kind of competition held in a ring with defined borders.


    It was precisely by relying on this move that Mu Yuan defeated Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°I hope that this time, you can withstand ten moves.¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard the words of Mu Yuan, he recalled last year¡¯s disastrous defeat where he was utterly powerless to fight back.


    ¡°Junior brother, that¡¯s exactly what I wanted to tell you.¡±


    But this time, Chen Mobai¡¯s confidence was entirely different.


    A mere peak Qi Refining Realm, under the suppression of the half-step Foundation Establishment Realm, could he actually go against the heavens?


    At this moment, Mu Yuan sneered and plucked two leaves from the Qingyang Spirit Tree beside him.


    He flicked his finger, and a clear layer of Sword Attack Fly Flower appeared on the leaves, akin to two streaming lights, emitting a sharp whistling sound as they shot in front of Chen Mobai.


    Mu Yuan¡¯s understanding of the Sword Dao was also commendable, his move of Sword Training to become Gang, as shown in his Leaf Picking technique, reveals his exceptional talent.


    Seeing this move, the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect watching the battle under the stage couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in surprise.


    However, those who knew Chen Mobai¡¯s true abilities, like Zhou Wangshen on the second floor of the restaurant, couldn¡¯t help but sneer.


    In their opinion, Mu Yuan was like a beginner making a fool of himself before a unique sword cultivation genius.


    But it seemed that junior brother Chen did not want to be too harsh on Mu Yuan, he chose not to use his Rainbow Sword Qi realm but instead unleashed a Crimson Flame Sword Talisman.


    Two fiery red sword auras burst forth, just enough to resist Mu Yuan¡¯s Sword Attack Fly Flower, causing a huge burst of sparks in mid-air.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Crimson Flame Dual Sword Talisman!¡±


    Seeing a talisman bursting with two bright red sword auras, the crowd below the stage was shocked. This kind of talisman, with its extremely low cost-effectiveness, was almost unsellable on the market.


    Did he refine it himself?!


    Just as this thought flashed through the minds of Zhou Wangshen and others, Chen Mobai took out eight Crimson Flame Sword Talismans with both hands.


    The brilliant red sword aura erupted, like a weaving of flowing light, covering Mu Yuan and his Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    A green leaf fell, conveniently landing in Mu Yuan¡¯s palm. His potent Longevity Spiritual Power surged out, and he immediately unleashed the ¡°Spirit Leaves Technique¡± in an instant.


    A huge light shield shaped like a giant leaf covered both him and the entire spirit tree, blocking in the incoming net of Crimson Flame Sword Qi.


    ¡°My spiritual power is being depleted rapidly. I need to end this quickly.¡±


    After stopping Chen Mobai¡¯s talisman bombardment, Mu Yuan felt that there was only about 80% of his spiritual power left in his body and felt he couldn¡¯t fall into his opponent¡¯s rhythm.


    His face shone with a green spiritual light. He stretched out his hand to pat the Qingyang Spirit Tree beside him, then strands of green light were drawn out from the tree by him, converging into a clear, green spiritual light in his palm.


    It was the simplified version of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light previously used by Ding Ying ¨C the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light!


    Just then, Chen Mobai took out a gold bamboo leaf-shaped Crimson Flame Sword Talisman. As Mu Yuan¡¯s expression slightly changed, a purple flame sword aura appeared, like a thread of fire, bursting instantly before his forehead.


    It was the Crimson Flame Triple Sword Talisman!


    This strength was equivalent to the Rank-2 level. With no other choice, Mu Yuan could only take out a green spiritual pearl from his storage bag.


    Chen Mobai identified it as a grade-2 Azure Spirit Bead which, once filled with Spiritual Power, could form a phenomenal light shield.


    While battling Yuan Chiye, Mu Yuan had already completely exposed his trump cards.


    And Chen Mobai was waiting for precisely this moment. He intended to break through all of Mu Yuan¡¯s ultimate techniques and magical treasures, letting him experience the most complete defeat!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Just as Mu Yuan expelled a pure breath of Longevity Spiritual Power, morphing the Azure Spirit Bead into a light curtain that blocked the impressive Purple Fire Sword Aura, Chen Mobai also opened his storage bag.


    A vibrant green flying sword sprang out, like a lively spirit fish.


    ¡°He¡¯s finally getting serious!¡±


    Seeing that Chen Mobai finally unsheathed his sword, Zhou Wangshen and the others who knew his ¡°true skills¡± couldn¡¯t help but sigh for Mu Yuan.


    They knew that their Sect Leader junior brother¡¯s journey in the tournament had come to an end..

 Chapter 217 - Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Change in Attitude 1

    Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Change in Attitude 1


    Translator: 549690339           ¡ª


    Mu Yuan blocked the Purple Fire Sword Aura with the Azure Spirit Bead Without missing this opportunity, he burst out with a divine thought, and the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light condensed into a crescent shape amidst his ten fingers.


    It was his most powerful killing move that helped him victorious over Yuan Chiye in the previous round.


    Heavenly Wood Spirit Light Blade!


    In response, Chen Mobai also put forth his most powerful sword!


    This sword was hailed by Zhou Wangshen and others as the epitome of the Qi Cultivating Realm, the Sword Qi Long Rainbow!


    Two slender fingers stretched out, gently sliding over the green flying sword. The ordinary Divine Wood Sword, after being infused with a drop of liquid spiritual power, seemed to have been liberated entirely, inciting a vast amount of pure spiritual energy.


    It was like the dawn just breaking, initially, it was but a point, but before you knew it, it had pervaded the whole sky, transforming into boundless rainbow clouds, dazzlingly magnificent.


    The Heavenly Wood Spirit Light Blade, which Mu Yuan was proud of, held on only for a breath under the oncoming Sword Qi Long Rainbow. It then shattered into a large cluster of green light strands, which were then instantly dissolved by the sword qi.


    ¡°How can it be so powerful!!¡±


    Mu Yuan couldn¡¯t believe it, but he wanted to struggle again.


    This powerful sword qi must be his opponent¡¯s trump card, and he could not possibly have a second one.


    If he could hold on, he had the hope of turning defeat into victory.


    Not daring to hold back anymore, Mu Yuan swallowed a pill and spat out most of his spiritual energy, pumping it into the Azure Spirit Bead, pushing the defense of this Rank-2 magic artifact to its limit.


    Next, he took out a talisman, which transformed into a golden light shield covering his whole body.


    Finally, he slapped the trembling Qingyang Spirit Tree beside him while chanting, conjuring a strong defensive magic.


    The once vibrant, cloud-like towering tree suddenly withered and condensed in that moment. All the spirit of the wood transformed into a patch of lush green spirit leaves, forming another layer of defense behind the light curtain of the Azure Spirit Bead.


    However, be it the Azure Spirit Bead, the golden light shield, or even the Spirit Leaves Technique!


    When faced with Chen Mobai¡¯s dazzling sword, they were like waves hitting the shore, stirring up countless beads and sprays of water, and causing ripples.


    In the end, under the powerful power of the Sword Qi Long Rainbow, they calmed down.


    Mu Yuan vomited blood. His whole body couldn¡¯t hold once the triple defense was shattered and was thrown off the platform, falling heavily onto the ground.


    At this moment, Mu Yuan finally understood why the sect leader said that statement.


    [Today your opponent is a bit powerful, if you feel you can¡¯t hold on, just concede.]


    Is this being a bit powerful?


    This guy, he is a complete monster!


    It¡¯s completely unfair for the sect competition to let such a monster compete against them, a group of Qi practitioners.


    But for Mu Yuan, it was too late for regrets.


    He struggled to his feet, feeling the emptiness of his dantian¡¯s Qi Sea, but the fact that his body was unharmed showed that his opponent had held back.


    He looked up to see the young man on the stage who was weak last year, smiling at him and retrieving the once again ordinary Divine Wood Sword back into his storage bag with a sword-shape fingers.


    Had he not experienced it himself, Mu Yuan would never have believed that this fellow, in the Qi Cultivating Realm, could unleash such a terrifying sword.


    At this point, he thought of the Sword Cultivation Realm he first came across when he started to practice sword techniques.


    Comparing with the text in his memory, Mu Yuan recognized it.


    It was the third stage of sword cultivation, Sword Qi like a rainbow!


    [So, they recognized it long ago, and I was just too arrogant¡­]


    At this thought, Mu Yuan¡¯s pride from defeating Yuan Chiye was gone entirely. Compared to Chen Mobai, who had understood the Sword Qi like a rainbow in the Qi Cultivating Realm, they, all of them, were a joke.


    ¡°I lost!¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, Mu Yuan solemnly conceded to him.


    ¡°I know you lost.¡±


    ¡°From now on, you will be my second rival.¡±


    Leaving these words behind, Mu Yuan bowed to Chen Mobai, then turned and left looking pale.


    ¡°This guy, at least he can accept defeat.¡±


    Chen Mobai raised an eyebrow, watching Mu Yuan¡¯s retreating figure, thinking that this complete defeat he was dealt might actually do him some good.


    But even if Mu Yuan had made further progress after this battle, he was still just an outsider to Chen Mobai.


    That¡¯s because Chen Mobai was about to become the top core disciple and get the Foundation Building Pill.


    Once he completes the Foundation Establishment, he will be considered an elder of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Only the final round remained.


    Despite Chen Mobai¡¯s composure, he could not help but feel some fluctuation in his thoughts at this point.


    That night, they were at the usual tavern.


    The only difference was that Yuan Chiye had joined them.


    ¡°I never even considered that you could grow this powerful in less than four years.¡±


    Raising his glass of wine and sighing, Yuan Chiye vividly remembered how he had initially introduced Chen Mobai to the sect.


    The kindness of Yuan senior leading the way, I keep in mind.¡±


    Chen Mobai toasted Yuan Chiye, who, while relaxed days before, seemed a bit restrained now.


    After all, the handsome young man in front of him was basically certain to successfully establish his foundation.


    Even if the pill produced by Elder Zeng did not help him achieve Foundation Establishment, his unrivaled Qi Cultivating Realm meant he could hold the top core disciple position until he succeeded in Foundation Establishment, or until he exceeded his sixties.


    But thinking about it, with this man¡¯s heaven-defying comprehension ability, coupled with his almost dual attribute top-tier True Spirit Root talent, there ¡® was a high probability of him successfully completing the Foundation Establishment on the first try.


    After all, the current talk of the Divine Wood Sect was all about Chen Guixian¡¯s unparalleled talent, surpassing even Hong He, who had suppressed the previous generation of core disciples for ten years.


    ¡°Elder E Yun said that he will discuss meeting with you whenever you have time.¡±


    Yuan Chiye¡¯s words left Chen Mobai surprised. Were the core elders of the


    Divine Wood Sect so generous to the top core disciples, even offering to arrange their meetings?


    But Chen Mobai still understood his position.


    ¡°I¡¯ve always wanted to thank Elder E Yun personally. Just like we agreed before,


    we¡¯ll meet after the sect¡¯s grand competition.¡±


    ¡°Very good, very good. I¡¯ll report this to Elder E Yun right away.¡±


    After conveying his message rather awkwardly, Yuan Chiye put down his glass and stood up. He signaled Liu Wenbo to continue drinking with Chen Mobai as he excused himself.


    Is Elder E Yun very scary? Why did senior Yuan look so constrained just delivering a message?¡±

    Chen Mobai asked Liu Wenbo in curiosity. Not knowing how to answer, the latter could only manage a stiff smile and took a drink to hide his uncertainty.


    Xi Jinghuo, who was at the side, rolled his eyes, but after interacting with Chen


    Mobai for the past two years, he knew that Chen Mobai was always like this.


    To the matters he was less concerned about, he appeared incredibly obtuse.


    However, it was perhaps this pure and simple nature that allowed him to achieve such a formidable Sword Dao Realm while in the Qi Cultivation stage!

 Chapter 218 - Chapter 218: Chapter 218: The Second Sword l

    Chapter 218: Chapter 218: The Second Sword l


    Translator: 549690339


    The grand tournament of the Divine Wood Sect had finally reached the last round that Chen Mobai eagerly anticipated.


    The three True Disciples had taken their positions in the arena.


    Apart from Chen Mobai, there was also last year¡¯s champion, Feng Hongxue, from the Sword Training Branch.


    The last competitor was Li Yixian, last year¡¯s tenth place but had surged into the top three this year as a True Disciple of the Puppet Branch.


    After the trio had stood there for a while, Meng Hong, the Sect Leader of Divine Wood Sect, descended from the sky with two Foundation Establishment elders.


    ¡°Very good, you all did well,¡± Meng Hong commented after a glance at the three, then chuckled and took his seat. On his left, Cang Qi announced the start of the final round.


    ¡°Each of you will face off against each other. If the results are all one win and one loss, then the three of us old fellows will decide the ranking of the True Disciples.¡±


    The importance of the ranking of the twenty-four True Disciples lay in the top three positions. As long as one ranked among the True Disciples, they would be guaranteed a Foundation Building Pill, one Rank-2 quality Spiritual Vein Cave Dwelling, and an extra benefit of 200 spirit stones each year.


    ¡°Both of my seniors are people I greatly admire. It¡¯s a blessing that I¡¯ve made it this far. I¡¯ll take the third position,¡± said Li Yixian.


    Li Yixian was a tall, chubby young man with a gentle demeanor.


    His jump from last year¡¯s tenth to the final round this year was due his mastery of a peak Rank-1 Red Sun Puppet, in addition to a Rank-2 Magic Artifact.


    However, in the top six round, he faced a True Disciple from the Spirit Beasts Branch. Despite a hard-won victory, his Puppet sustained significant damage from the opponent¡¯s counter-attacks, greatly reducing its power.


    Still, he knew very well that even if his puppet was intact, he would have a twenty to thirty percent chance of victory against Feng Hongxue.


    Yet, after witnessing Chen Mobai¡¯s astonishing swordplay that defeated Mu Yuan in the previous round, Li Yixian knew he¡¯d only stand a chance if he upgraded the Red Sun Puppet to a Rank-2 Blue Sun Puppet.


    Otherwise, even ten Red Sun Puppets wouldn¡¯t stand a chance against Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Qi Long Rainbow¡ªthey would only end up as junk metal and broken wood.


    Since he had no way of winning against Chen Mobai and felt no need to fight Feng Hongxue, he chose to concede directly.


    Li Yixian¡¯s sense of timing earned an approving glance from Meng Hong, who had just settled down.


    ¡°This youngster knows when to advance and retreat. If he can reach Foundation Establishment in the future, we should prioritize cultivating him,¡± said Meng Hong.


    Cang Qi nodded in agreement, taking note of this True Disciple from the Puppet Branch.


    ¡°You two may begin.¡±


    After Li Yixian exited the arena, Chen Mobai and Feng Hongxue took their positions upon hearing Cang Qi¡¯s words, each nodding in acknowledgement.


    [Win as quickly as possible.]


    After defeating Ding Ying and Mu Yuan, Chen Mobai, who no longer held any regrets, strategized for a quick and decisive victory. He opened his storage bag and pulled out the Divine Wood Sword, holding it carefully by his fingertips.


    [So this is the demeanor of a Sword Cultivator ¨C straightforward and decisive. Are you planning to defeat me with a single move? That¡¯s just what I want.] Witnessing the pure green Flying Sword leap and harness the sprinkling pure Elemental Energy, transforming into a beautiful sword rainbow that blanketed the sky, Feng Hongxue¡¯s countenance remained unchanged, but his heart stirred with joy.


    If Chen Mobai relied on his superior Sword Dao Realm to break down each of his moves, giving him the same comprehensive defeat as he did to Mu Yuan, Feng Hongxue might really be unable to withstand it.


    However, seeing that Chen Mobai¡¯s first move was the Ultimate Killing Sword Technique, Feng Hongxue was confident that the Spirit Leaf Talisman given by Zhou Wangshen could perform flawlessly.


    Even though he had to admit defeat in the end, Feng Hongxue hoped to leave a lasting impression in the eyes of this unparalleled Sword Dao genius.


    Who knew whether a casual bit of guidance from Chen Mobai in the future could help him break through the longstanding bottleneck in his Sword Training?


    The dazzling Sword Rainbow shot at him, like a sunrise falling. Yet, just when everyone thought Feng Hongxue was about to be defeated, he pulled out a golden leaf.


    After the injection of spiritual power, the veins on the leaf began to emit a powerful spiritual light. They transformed into a translucent shield in the shape of a leaf, blocking the Sword Qi Long Rainbow unleashed by Chen Mobai. A Qi Refining Realm simply could not withstand such a powerful attack.


    ¡°Spirit Leaf Talisman!¡±


    Seeing this, Meng Hong¡¯s aged eyes flickered. Recalling Feng Hongxue¡¯s personal dossier, he quickly understood.


    ¡°Using such a talisman for the battle of true disciples is somewhat wasteful.¡±


    The head of the power-transfer department on the right, Lu Yi, grumbled thus. Regardless of whether it is a magic artifact or a talisman, the price of defensive ones always exceeds that of offensive ones. This Spirit Leaf Talisman, if sold outside in the Fang Market, could fetch thousands of spirit stones.


    Some impoverished true disciples may not even earn this much in a year.


    ¡°However, in doing this, Feng Hongxue may have a chance to win.¡±


    With an unchanged complexion, Cang Qi began to analyze the situation on the field.


    He and Zhou Wangshen thought the same; even if Chen Mobai was extraordinarily talented, he was still only at the Qi Refining Realm. It was estimated that this Sword Qi Long Rainbow could only be used once, pushing him to his limit.


    If this strike did not defeat his opponent, he was likely to lose due to massive energy loss.


    In this case, the ownership of the batch of Foundation Building Pills made by their junior brother might be in jeopardy.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if my guess is correct, Feng Hongxue will eventually concede.¡±


    Meng Hong¡¯s statement took Cang Qi and Lu Yi by surprise, but they soon frowned, especially Lu Yi, who seemed not to agree with this course of action.


    ¡°It¡¯s too deliberate. Although Zhou Wangshen is a descendant of Elder Zhou, his tactics are somewhat crude. Trying to win over someone like a sword cultivators like this might backfire.¡±


    ¡°If it were anyone else, that might be the case. However, he is, after all, a descendant of Elder Zhou. Even if Chen Mobai knows, he would still want to save some face.¡±


    As Cang Qi and Lu Yi disagreed, on the ring, Chen Mobai calmly sheathed his Divine Wood Sword after seeing Feng Hongxue use the Spirit Leaf Talisman to block the Sword Qi Long Rainbow.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, although it may seem a little underhanded, I still would like you to critique my swordsmanship.¡±


    Facing Feng Hongxue¡¯s respectful request, Chen Mobai was slightly anxious inside.


    This guy shouldn¡¯t have a second Spirit Leaf Talisman, right!


    [Forget it, I don¡¯t care. I can still strike one more time. If he can handle it, I¡¯ll admit defeat. Hopefully, by then, Senior Uncle Zeng will have two successful Foundation Building Pills.]


    Chen Mobai felt at ease.


    However, the others didn¡¯t know his internal thoughts and assumed he was just putting on a straight face.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, this sword technique of mine is called ¡®Flying Swans in Snow¡¯¡­¡±


    Just as Feng Hongxue was about to perform his proudest technique, he saw the serious-looking youthful opponent on the opposite side flicking his Divine Wood Sword. Then, again, an extraordinarily pure elemental energy was drawn in, transforming into a brilliant Sword Rainbow, rushing towards him.


    ¡°Puff!¡±


    Without the Spirit Leaf Talisman, Feng Hongxue couldn¡¯t resist at all. His sword broke, he vomited blood, and he was knocked unconscious.

    Chen Mobai had decided that this sword would determine victory or defeat. He injected all his remaining spiritual power, except for the last drop of liquid spiritual power, into the Divine Wood Sword.


    The power was stronger than the first time!


    He hadn¡¯t controlled it well.


    If it wasn¡¯t for Cang Qi who, always vigilant, guided the residual power of this sword strike towards the sky, Feng Hongxue might have been severely injured, if not killed.


    Indeed, those of sword cultivators are known for their fiery tempers..

 Chapter 219 - Chapter 219: Chapter 219 The Weight of Being the Number One Inherited Disciple _1

    Chapter 219: Chapter 219 The Weight of Being the Number One Inherited Disciple _1


    Translator: 549690339


    The day after the sect¡¯s grand competition came to a close.


    Chen Mobai was taken by Yuan Chiye to a courtyard in the Divine Wood City.


    Though the courtyard was not large, there was a towering tree at its center, so large that it would take two people to fully embrace it. Despite it being winter, the tree was lush with dense branches and numerous leaves.


    A youth clad in a black robe, with ordinary features, sat on a bench beneath the massive tree. He had already prepared a pot of tea, and welcomed Chen Mobai with a smile as he entered.


    ¡°Greetings, Uncle Master E Yun.¡±


    This was the first time Chen Mobai had met this well-known disciple of the sect leader.


    The reigning leader of Divine Wood Sect ¨C Meng Hong, had six private disciples. Apart from the eldest disciple who passed away early due to his lack of talent, the rest were all exceptionally talented.


    The second and third disciples had already achieved Foundation Establishment.


    The fourth disciple was none other than Zhou Wangshen, the fifth disciple being E Yun. The two complemented each other, for the past decade, they traded seats as the number one true disciple if not for the sudden emergence of Hong He.


    The sixth disciple was Mu Yuan, who likely would have been the leading Qi cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect for the next decade if it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Please take a seat.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye sat down. E Yun looked fairly ordinary in the crowd.


    His stature was average, his appearance and demeanor were all exceedingly ordinary. ¡ãy


    While conversing with Chen Mobai, it felt as if they were talking as two passengers on a bus, enjoying a chat to pass the time during a long journey. They spoke about everything: from various places to personal lives, nothing was left undiscussed.


    They felt like travelers on a road trip, enjoying tea and chatting until the day turned into dusk before they knew it.


    The entire experience was extremely comfortable.


    ¡°By the way, I haven¡¯t had the chance to thank Uncle Master E Yun for saving me before.¡±                              5


    Chen Mobai was referring to the time when he was pursued by the South Mountain Thieves in the territory of Yun Country.


    ¡°At that time, you had already joined our Divine Wood Sect. If there were rogue cultivators chasing our disciples, naturally, I couldn¡¯t ignore it.¡±


    E Yun brushed it off as a minor matter.


    ¡°I Still have to thank you in person. If there are any tasks in the sect in the future, feel free to delegate them to me.¡±


    Whether or not he would agree, he would decide when the time comes. That was what Chen Mobai was thinking at the time.


    He figured, anyhow, he would have to pick a side in the Divine Wood Sect To avoid further complications, he might as well stick with the person before him.


    At the very least, E Yun truly had been kind to him.


    And it was moreover due to their efforts that he managed to join the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Our sect leader has achieved perfection in the Foundation Establishment stage, and is about to prepare for Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°Before he enters secluded cultivation, he hopes that we disciples can compete With each other to cultivate a leader who is most suitable to guide the Divine Wood Sect for the next hundred years.¡±


    ¡°The second and third brothers are not interested in this, their hearts are set on cultivating the Dao, therefore he is grooming Brother Zhou, me, and little brother Mu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not particularly interested, but if I wish to further my cultivation, being the sect leader is indeed a good shortcut, hence I am obliged to compete with my brothers.¡±


    ¡°Chen brother, you are an unparalleled genius, and you are a sword cultivator who is most dedicated and pure in pursuing the Dao. You probably would not take interest in such matters.¡±


    ¡°In the future, you just need to cultivate your sword at your own pace in the sect. After all, the growth of your astonishing sword, is for me the greatest achievement.¡±


    E Yun¡¯s words made Chen Mobai feel slightly confused.


    He had achieved first place among the true disciples, barely fitting the label ¡öunparalleled genius,¡¯ but when had he become a dedicated and purely dao-oriented sword cultivator?


    Moreover, being a sect leader was something he also took interest in.


    However, even though he didn¡¯t understand the meaning behind E Yun¡¯s words, Chen Mobai wisely didn¡¯t ask, instead posing a question about the matter he was most concerned about.


    ¡°I heard that Uncle Master had been refining a batch of Foundation Building Pills. May I know if I can exchange some contributions for one?¡±


    This was his primary motivation to become the top true disciple. However, after the Sect competition, Meng Hong and the two elders flew away aughing, which made Chen Mobai, who had intended to ask the sect leader about this matter, had to hold his patience until now.


    If it succeeds and at least one pill is formed, if you want it, it will be yours.¡±


    E Yun¡¯s words were resolute and decisive, which eased Chen Mobai¡¯s worries.


    It seems that his hard work to become the first true disciple wasn¡¯t in vain.


    The internal atmosphere of the Divine Wood Sect was pretty good, amazingly there were no hidden rules, they just followed the order of exchange as stated.


    However, Chen Mobai, who was thinking this way, didn¡¯t know, if he hadn¡¯t shown his unparalleled swordsmanship talent in the sect competition, things wouldn¡¯t have been so smooth, and E Yun wouldn¡¯t have been so certain.


    ¡°Today, I have just received my Spirit Rice. Let¡¯s taste it together.¡±


    E Yun took out some precious rank-2 Spirit Rice, which was Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice specifically provided by the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Plant Department to the Foundation Establishment elders.


    Chen Mobai tasted it and found it to be truly extraordinary. Besides being soft fragrant, and glutinous, it even carried a hint of bamboo aroma. Once ingested, it transformed into cool energy that merged with his vital energy, nourishing ¡¯ his essence. His mind even felt slightly clearer.


    Upon inquiring, he learned that this Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice was an upgraded variant of Yubud Lingmi. However, the seeds needed to be buried in the joints of mature Jade Bamboo for it to grow.


    After the Spirit Rice matured, the elemental energy within an acre of rank-2 Jade Bamboo would be completely drained, turned into nourishment for the growth of Spirit Rice.


    Such method was indeed curious as it resulted in wasted bamboo.


    Chen Mobai made a mental note of this, planning to look for related knowledge about Spirit Plants in the Book Pavilion after achieving Foundation Establishment in the future.


    After all, once he established his foundation, the rank-1 Spirit Rice wouldn¡¯t be of much use to him. Only continual consumption of rank-2 Spirit Rice could enhance his vital energy and strengthen his physique.


    Even though it was possible to purchase from the Immortals¡¯ side, homegrown always taste better.


    After finishing the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye bid their farewells and left.


    ¡°In the future, in the sect, you can just focus on sword training, no matter who asks you to do anything, you can just push it all onto me.¡±


    E Yun personally saw them to the door, before leaving he turned to Chen Mobai and said these words with a serious expression.


    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Master.¡±


    Chen Mobai simply thought that since he had become first true disciple, and was seen as the future Foundation Establishment cultivator, this was why he was valued so much.


    After talking with E Yun, Chen Mobai proceeded to the Spirit Plant Department.


    He hadn¡¯t forgotten that the Divine Wood Sword was borrowed and needed to


    be returned after the sect competition.


    However, as soon as he entered the Spirit Plant Department, he noticed a complete change in the attitudes of the people there towards him.


    ¡°Brother Chen¡­no, Senior Brother Chen, you¡¯ve arrived.¡±


    ¡°Brother Teng, there¡¯s no need to be so formal.¡±


    Teng Jie, who was on duty at the Spirit Plant Department, saw Chen Mobai entering. His attitude was beyond courteous, leaving Chen Mobai completely unprepared.


    Before they could exchange much conversation, Lu Jun, who had received the news, rushed over, his attitude even more respectful.


    ¡°Brother Chen, Inspector Sun knew you were coming and he has been waiting


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    for you since early morning. Please, this way.¡±


    Sun Gaochang?


    A lofty elder at Foundation Establishment stage, the official in charge of the Reward Virtue Hall, the inspector of the Spirit Plant Department-why was he behaving like this?


    It was beyond Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding.


    Was the weight of being the first among the true disciples this heavy?

 Chapter 220 - Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Foundation Building Pill l

    Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Foundation Building Pill l


    Translator: 549690339


    After all, he was his immediate superior, so Chen Mobai dared not to be negligent and promptly went with Lu Jun to see Sun Gaochang.


    The latter¡¯s chubby face was brimming with smiles today. After chatting with Chen Mobai for a while, he praised him for securing the first position in the legacy race on behalf of the Spirit Plant Department.


    ¡°When you return the Divine Wood Sword later, you will receive an extra three hundred spirit stones. I¡¯ve already notified the logistics department.¡±


    Upon leaving, Sun Gaochang also asked Chen Mobai if he had enough sect contributions to exchange for the Foundation Building Pill. If not enough, he could lend him ten thousand.


    Chen Mobai was indeed short, immediately thanking him. He planned on borrowing some if he still didn¡¯t have enough contributions after the Foundation Building Pill refined by his elder martial uncle was ready.


    Nevertheless, Chen Mobai felt that Sun Gaochang was overly enthusiastic.


    He was more accustomed to Sun Gaochang¡¯s previous indifferent attitude.


    After all, since he frequently travels between two realms, it would be better not to draw attention.


    But that¡¯s probably the trouble of being the number one true legacy disciple.


    Well, there was no other way; he had to bear with it for the sake of the Foundation Building Pill.


    There were many people in the logistics department. Upon seeing Chen Mobai, they all wore looks of admiration.


    When returning the Divine Wood Sword, Chen Mobai ran into another true legacy member of the Spirit Plant Department, Li Li.


    ¡°Chen¡­ elder brother.¡±


    Li Li awkwardly called Chen Mobai ¡®elder brother¡¯, something he¡¯d never imagined doing towards this colleague of his whom he had never paid attention to before.


    ¡°You¡¯re too polite, Elder Brother Li.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t put on airs. After greeting him, he returned his Divine Wood Sword to the logistics sister, who gave him three intermediate-grade spirit stones.


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, this is your departmental benefit for becoming a true legacy disciple.¡±


    ¡°Why do I only get one?¡±


    Li Li, who was standing at the side, couldn¡¯t help but complain.


    ¡°This is Inspector Sun¡¯s decision. If Elder Brother Li Li has any objections, he can go and talk to him.¡±


    The sister in charge of logistics heard him, but she didn¡¯t give Li Li any face and replied directly without courtesy.


    ¡°Why not? Elder Brother Chen is the number one true legacy disciple and has enhanced the prestige of our Spirit Plant Department. What¡¯s wrong with giving him two more than you, who is at the bottom of the ladder among true the legacy disciples?¡±


    The one who said this was Liu Guilong, the former true legacy disciple of the Spirit Plant Department who happened to be here handling affairs.


    Li Li¡¯s face turned red in anger, but he dared not say anything in front of Chen Mobai.


    Without a Rank-2 flying sword, he wasn¡¯t necessarily Liu Guilong¡¯s opponent, let alone the exceptional sword cultivation genius.


    He could only huffily shake off his sleeves and leave.


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, the department head said that if you have any free time, you can go and visit him.¡±


    After Li Li left in a huff, Liu Guilong relayed this message to Chen Mobai, who could only laugh bitterly and went to the department head¡¯s office.


    After visiting the head, he had to visit the deputy head as well to be polite. Surprisingly, Li Li was also there.


    Chen Mobai only exchanged a few words before immediately excusing himself and left.


    Once he left the Spirit Plant Department, he returned to his lodgings at the inn, only to find Zhuo Ming with a worried expression, having received a load of invitational cards. In addition to the true legacy disciples, there were plenty from Qi cultivation disciples too.


    Luckily, none were from Foundation Establishment elders, or else he would have to socialize again.


    And the moment he returned, there were many Divine Wood Sect disciples waiting at the inn with fiery eyes. A number of them even knelt down to request apprenticeship, eager to learn the unparalleled swordsmanship.


    Chen Mobai was reminded of himself back in Danxia City when he had just been accepted into the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    He had no choice but to sigh, delivered a voice transmission message to Zhuo


    Ming to meet at Small Yang Ridge, and then turned and left immediately.


    Finally, he found some peace when he reached Small Yang Ridge.


    While teaching Zhuo Ming about farming and symbol creation, Chen Mobai also kept an eye on the situation of the Alchemy Division.


    But after only a quiet month, many disciples with wide-ranging divine skills from the Divine Wood Sect had found this place.


    They dared not intrude, but they waited and watched at the foot of the mountain every day, still making Chen Mobai quite annoyed.


    He was so troubled that he didn¡¯t dare to travel between the two realms at night.


    Luckily, at this time, a Message Talisman arrived.


    It was a message from E Yun.


    The batch of Demonic beast Foundation Building Pills had been successfully cultivated.


    Good luck, two pills were successfully formed.


    Upon hearing this news, Chen Mobai was immediately invigorated.


    After so many years in the Divine Wood Sect, he was finally reaching this goal.


    He directly left all the matters of Small Yang Ridge to Zhuo Ming, and then hurried off to Divine Wood City.


    With the help of E Yun, without any mishap, Chen Mobai exchanged for his own Foundation Building Pill in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    ¡°Please take it.¡±


    Chen Mobai received a white porcelain bottle. He opened it to see a blood-red pill inside.


    Just upon smelling it, he felt his own Qi and blood that were originally locked by the boundary law starting to churn, showing faint signs of breaking through.


    It was indeed the Foundation Building Pill!


    Suppressing his inner excitement, Chen Mobai put the stuff into his storage bag, followed E Yun out of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and arrived at his courtyard.


    ¡°This is the accumulation of insights from past elders which I had prepared when I was cultivating for Foundation Establishment. It¡¯s oriented towards the Immortality Sutra, you can have a look.¡±


    E Yun pushed a stack of preparatory books to Chen Mobai, about a dozen or so. ¡°Thank you, who took the other Foundation Building Pill?¡±


    After storing the Foundation establishment insights into his storage bag, Chen Mobai asked a question.


    ¡°The Sect Leader wanted to give it to the junior Brother Mu Yuan, but Brother Zhou stepped in and gave it to Feng Hongxue, who ranks second among True Inheritors.¡±


    E Yun did not conceal anything and told Chen Mobai directly.


    ¡°To avoid any complications, Feng Hongxue secluded himself for cultivation as soon as he got the Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    ¡°He is indeed a bold character.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded in approval.


    ¡°Even though no one is coveting your Building Foundation Pill, it¡¯s best to be careful.¡±


    E Yun gave a reminder, and Chen Mobai immediately stated that he would rent a cultivation room from the transmission department right away, and won¡¯t give anyone any chance.


    ¡°The Foundation Building Pill is extremely precious. It¡¯s best to be in the most perfect state of mind, Qi, and spirit before taking it.¡±


    ¡°Also, if you have any regrets, it¡¯s best to resolve them before Foundation


    Establishment. This would increase the success rate a bit.¡±


    ¡°If successful in Foundation Establishment in our Divine Wood Sect, you could go to the treasure realm of the Three Divine Trees and have a chance of encountering great fortune. Junior Brother, you mustn¡¯t act rashly and miss this opportunity.¡±


    E Yun shook his head and shared some of his experiences. Upon hearing it, Chen Mobai had an idea.


    ¡°I obtained the Blackwater Cultivation in the Water Mansion and stepped onto the path to Immortality, but being separated from my family at a young age has always been a knot in my heart. Just before Foundation Establishment, I would like to untie this knot.¡±


    Of course, that was an excuse.

    Chen Mobai planned to leave the Divine Wood Sect and immediately find a deserted place to return to the Earth Realm.


    Even if he was unlucky and failed to Establish Foundation with this pill, he could still utilize the resources of the Celestial Region, wait until the Foundation Establishment is successful, and then return to Divine Wood Sect. After returning, he would say that during his search for family outside, he had an epiphany and directly took the Foundation Building Pill and succeeded.


    As long as the Foundation Establishment is successful, in the Divine Wood


    Sect, he would be known as a genius who succeeded in Foundation Establishment at the first attempt.


    Anyway, in the Tianhe Realm, it¡¯s not easy to find people, it would be reasonable for him to delay outside for a few years..

 Chapter 221 - Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Foundation Establishment !

    Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Foundation Establishment !


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai, who disappeared back to Crimson Mountain immediately after leaving the Divine Wood Sect, had again attended two months of classes. Although it seemed like he won the Sect Tournament effortlessly, every drop of Liquid Spiritual Power he used represented his full effort.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for his fundamental understanding of the Divine Manipulation Technique, and his Divine Sense being stronger than that of a regular Qi


    Cultivation Level 9 practitioner, he probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to control


    the power of the Rainbow Sword Qi.


    With Spirit Stones in hand, his depleted Spiritual Power recovered swiftly.


    However, the recovery of his Divine Sense took some time.


    Opportunely, during these two months, Chen Mobai read all sixteen volumes of


    E Yun¡¯s Foundation Establishment insights from the Everlasting Life Method, as well as some Foundation Establishment books on Wood Attribute


    Cultivation Techniques from the Daoist Academy.


    Only after he fully understood all of it, did he call the Academy¡¯s teacher to ask for leave, to apply for Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you just try it at the end of last year?


    Che Yucheng asked in surprise when he heard.


    At that time, Chen Mobai had requested his own set of Foundation


    Establishment Three Treasures and exchanged two portions of Profound Fire Spirit Liquid with his student points. The final result was that he completed the first step, ¡°Change Tendons and Wash Marrow,¡± but was stuck at the brink of the second step, ¡°Condensing Qi into Liquid.


    ¡°I woke up this morning with a feeling of serendipity, a deep sense of mystery.


    I believe this is the perfect time for my Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Chen Mobai had to make up an excuse because he certainly wouldn¡¯t say that he immersed himself surreptitiously in a sect in a different world for over three years and strenuously obtained an extremely precious Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll approve your leave. If you succeed in Foundation


    Establishment, all will be fine. But if you fail again, you can¡¯t miss a single one of this year¡¯s 10 credits. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for punishing you.¡± Che Yucheng couldn¡¯t refute Chen Mobai¡¯s metaphysical inspiration. When cultivators have this kind of feeling when breaking through a realm, they often succeed.


    But conventionally, it¡¯s best to attempt Foundation Establishment again only a


    year after a failed attempt.


    However, with the Foundation Establishment Pill in hand, Chen Mobai felt that


    he truly could succeed this time.


    This wasn¡¯t a profound feeling.


    But it was based on scientific evidence.


    In the lobby of the Cultivation Room Building No.9, two girls in school


    uniforms sat.


    They were students working there part-time. Chen Mobai recognized one of the short-haired girls, who seemed to be a year senior to him, so fairly a school senior. The other long-haired girl looked somewhat unfamiliar, probably a freshman who had just enrolled this year.


    Chen Mobai handed his student card to the younger girl who proactively approached. She had a round face and was smiling.


    ¡°Hello, senior. Are you here to book a room?¡±


    ¡°Yes, a Rank-? High-Grade Spiritual Vein room.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the girl who was processing the paperwork showed a surprised look, and turned to look at her senior.


    ¡°Is it a Rank-3 High-Grade?¡±


    The senior who was originally playing with her phone, took the student card and confirmed. This is the highest rank of Spiritual Vein that a student can apply for, which requires a teacher¡¯s signature from the Academy.


    ¡°Correct.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, showing them the photo of the document sent to him by


    Che Yucheng on his phone.


    Upon seeing the reason for application on the document: Foundation


    Establishment.


    The short-haired senior looked dumbfounded as she examined this ordinarily handsome junior student of hers.


    ¡°You¡¯re just in the fourth year, yet you have already cultivated to the brink.¡±


    ¡°I was lucky to have a comprehension.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say much. Under the admiring eyes of the junior student, he opted for an unlimited time renewal for a Rank-3 High-Grade Spiritual Vein room.


    In other words, as long as he remains within the Cultivation Room and the Good Deed Points in his student card hadn¡¯t been completely deducted, he can cultivate indefinitely.


    ¡°Please keep your key, senior.¡±


    After inspecting the documents, the short-haired senior handed the matter back to the junior student. Chen Mobai nodded and accepted it.


    Entering his room, he sat on his cushion, took out his phone, and opened the Foundation Establishment App.


    [Foundation Establishment Success Rate: 31%!]


    Chen Mobai had already used this app while he was in the Tianhe Realm, and


    the results had already come out.


    He clicked on the small arrow to pull the screen down and view the detailed calculation results.


    [Perfection reached at the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation, completed Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, a small part of Condensing Qi into Liquid accomplished, Foundation Establishment Success Rate increased by 16%] [Reached critical state of Cultivation Technique training, no danger if Foundation Establishment fails, good mental state, Foundation Establishment Success Rate increased by 1%]


    [Novice at Divine Manipulation Technique, Divine Sense has been trained, Foundation Establishment Success Rate increased by 5%]


    [Rank-3 Superior Spiritual Vein, Foundation Establishment Success Rate increased by 9¡ã/¡ã]


    He did not add in the Foundation Building Pill, because the formulation of this pill is prohibited in the Daoist Sects, adding it might draw the attention of the app¡¯s developers.


    However, according to statistics from Tianhe Realm, a single Foundation Building Pill has a 30% chance of success.


    His Demonic Beast Foundation Building Pill was only 80% as potent as a traditional Foundation Building Pill, he calculated it would give an additional 24%.


    Adding it all up, his Foundation Establishment Success Rate was 55%-


    It was enough.


    Although Chen Mobai is usually cautious, he becomes extremely decisive at critical moments.


    Even though he knew that the toxins inside this Foundation Building Pill exceeded the acceptable limit, as long as he could successfully establish his foundation, he would have enough time to slowly neutralize it.


    He took out the storage pouch from his bag, pouring the Foundation Building


    Pill into his palm.


    Gazing at the pill that appeared as red as blood jade.


    His eyes fiercely stared, gulping down the valuable Spiritual Medicine he had spent over three years to earn.


    As the pill slid down his throat, a strong surge of medicinal power exploded out.


    However, since Chen Mobai had already completed the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow process, his body was able to perfectly accommodate the powerful medicinal surge. It flowed through his twelve primary meridians across his organs and bones where, finding no areas left to bolster, the medicinal power transformed into a surging heat wave that directly rushed into the Qi Sea of his Dantian.


    If he had not completed the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow process to consume some of the medicinal force of the Foundation Building Pill, Chen Mobai¡¯s Spiritual Power Vortex would have been unable to bear such a sweeping rush of energy.


    Sweat trickled down from his forehead as he activated his Divine Manipulation Technique.


    While operating his Divine Sense, Chen Mobai repeatedly activated the tenth level mental method of the Longevity Sutra, while in his mind, he was recalling the enlightenment on Foundation Establishment that he had read before. Such a situation had been encountered by others before, those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots or even Innate Taoist Bodies naturally complete Change Tendons and Wash Marrow.


    When faced with a powerful medicinal force, one needs to only let the part that can be refined enter the Dantian, letting the rest circulate slowly in the meridians, organs, and bone marrow, gradually increasing the body¡¯s strength while buying time.


    The Spiritual Power Vortex started spinning. A clear, radiant light emerged on Chen Mobai¡¯s face. The dense third-grade superior Spiritual Energy transformed into a cloud of mist and entered his orifices, neutralizing the medicinal power of the Foundation Building Pill. Aided by the Longevity Spiritual Power, it began to condense into the third droplet of Liquid Spiritual Power, then the fourth droplet, the fifth droplet¡­


    He soon condensed the ten droplets of Longevity Spiritual Power required for Foundation Establishment.


    At this point, only 70% of the medicinal power of the Foundation Building Pill had been used, however Chen Mobai dared not continue the conversion.


    He felt a heavy sensation in his Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea, indicating he had reached his current limit.

    Only one final step remained.


    With a rush of spirit, the remaining 30% of the medicinal power transformed into a warm stream that surged into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Palace. With a boom!


    A deafening sound like muffled thunder echoed in his mind!


    Chen Mobai felt his Divine Sense being abruptly pushed beyond his Tianding!


    This was his Divine Sense leaving his body!

    Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Becoming an Apprentice 1


    Translator: 549690330 r r  ¡ª


    Chen Mobai was floating in the middle of his room.


    He saw himself sitting on the cushion, his whole body radiating with a translucent glow.


    This feeling of observing himself was very peculiar, making him joyfully rotate around his body.


    He then permeated his out-of-body divine sense into his own body, the experience was even more wonderful.


    He saw every detail of his body operating the Immortal Cultivation Technique, and also noticed the slightly damaged water and wood organs-his kidneys and gall bladder-due to cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    However, his heart and the Triple Burner were like oil in a blazing fire, exuding vigorous and robust energy.


    Just when he wanted to delve deeper to verify the hidden Five Elements Spiritual Root within him, a wave of exhaustion rushed over him.


    After all, he had just completed his Foundation Establishment, and his divine consciousness intensity couldn¡¯t support a long out-of-body experience.


    Chen Mobai calmed his excited emotions and returned his divine sense to his body.


    After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, feeling the fivefold increased Longevity Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qj Sea, he couldn¡¯t help but clench his fist.


    The final stage of Foundation Establishment, the out-of-body divine sense, was much simpler than he had imagined.


    It seemed like he had already reached the threshold of this stage, and the effects of the Foundation Building Pill merely gave him a gentle push, enabling him to easily cross this barrier, overcoming what was supposed to be the most difficult phase of Foundation Establishment.


    After the out-of-body divine sense experience, his body and spiritual power were unified under his control.


    With the unity of essence, Qj, and spirit, Chen Mobai easily advanced to the tenth level of the Immortal Cultivation Technique, successfully establishing his foundation.


    The rest of the Foundation Building Pill¡¯s effects were not wasted. He directly guided them with his divine sense into his kidney and gall bladder, giving them a good boost.


    To be on the safe side, Chen Mobai waited for three more days, making sure his realm was stable, before finally standing up contentedly.


    ¡°Checkout!¡±


    At the front desk of Building 9, the same diligent student sisters saw Chen Mobai, brimming with vitality, put his student ID on the table. Their faces showed surprise.


    ¡°You, did you succeed!?¡±


    ¡°I managed to break through by sheer luck.¡±


    Chen Mobai remained modest as ever, but the joy and pleasure in his eyebrows clearly told the two girls about his inner happiness.


    ¡°Congratulations, junior brother.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, senior brother!¡±


    Hearing this, the two girls simultaneously stood up, lifted their right hands to their chest level, and bowed halfway in an ancient ritual.


    This was a tradition passed down by Yunya Daoist, the founder of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, a ceremony to congratulate a disciple on their successful Foundation Establishment, officially entering the path of Immortal Cultivation.


    When Chen Mobai first joined the academy, he was taught this ancient ritual and the method to return the gesture.


    ¡°I hope that the next one to establish the foundation will be my senior sisters.¡±


    He opened his left hand, placed it flat on his chest, and slightly lifted it with a smile in return.


    ¡°Thank you, senior brother.¡±


    After Chen Mobai had checked out, under the admiring gaze of the two girls, he walked out of Building 9 into the sunlight.


    He had successfully established his foundation!


    This had been his dream since childhood, as well as the dream of his father, mother, maternal grandparents, and even his faintly remembered paternal grandparents.


    The whole Chen family had a True Cultivator who had established his foundation over a hundred years ago, who was Chen Mobai¡¯s paternal grandfather.


    Unfortunately, he died in a state of cultivation deviation during one of his seclusion sessions.


    After the six offspring of this great grandfather Chen separated, the-third-in-line eventually became Chen Mobai.


    If he wished, he could instantly reorganize the Chen family.


    But that would be too boring. Besides, in modern society, families are already quite rare. Usually, once the old master dies, they choose to split up.


    Right, he hadn¡¯t informed his family of the good news yet!


    Standing on the steps of Building 9, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered the most important thing and couldn¡¯t help but laugh at himself.


    He took out his phone and dialed Chen Xinglan¡¯s number.


    ¡°Hello, son, why did you suddenly think of calling me?¡±


    It had been a while since he heard his father¡¯s voice on the phone. Ever since he failed Foundation Establishment, his father and Tang Panchui had been traveling all over the country.


    They knew that Chen Mobai had reached a crucial point in his training, so they wouldn¡¯t usually make the call themselves unless it was truly necessary.


    ¡°Hello, hello, hello, son, why aren¡¯t you speaking? Your father and I are currently in Rotten Ax City. The wishing talismans here are said to be very effective. Your father and I plan to buy one to wish for your successful Foundation Establishment¡­¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could answer, Tang Panchui¡¯s voice was already heard from the other end of the line, as if she had snatched Chen Xinglan¡¯s phone.


    ¡°Mom, Dad, I¡¯ve established my foundation!¡±


    His straightforward sentence made Tang Panchui, who had been chattering nonstop, immediately fall silent as if she had been muted.


    There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.


    After a long pause.


    ¡°You ¡­ you¡¯re not joking¡­¡±


    Her trembling words indicated disbelief.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    His resounding reply caused Tang Panchui to let out a scream on the other end of the phone!


    ¡°Ah¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but move the phone away from his ear; her voice was just too loud.


    ¡°Son, where are you? We¡¯re coming to find you right now.¡±


    Once her excitement had passed, Chen Xinglan immediately asked. Chen Mobai could also hear Tang Panchui¡¯s cries of joy on the other end of the line.


    ¡°Of course, I¡¯m on Crimson Mountain. But you don¡¯t need to come. I¡¯ll go back to Red Sandstone City when there¡¯s a vacation at the end of the school year. By the way, please notify my grandparents, uncles and aunts. We¡¯ll have a gathering then.¡±


    After ending his call with his parents, Chen Mobai¡¯s elation still had not yet fully subsided.


    He thought of Qjng Nu.


    ¡°Congratulations¡­¡±


    As the two chatted, time flew by unnoticed.


    By the time he hung up the phone, Chen Mobai had already received congratulatory text messages from his uncle and sister.


    After replying to each one, he finally remembered his main task.


    The Tianhe Realm wouldn¡¯t check when someone establishes their foundation, but the Immortal Gate would need it to be recorded and registered.


    First Floor.


    Che Yucheng sat in his office, looking with satisfaction at the handsome young man in front of him.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad.¡±


    He said admiringly.


    ¡°I owe my progress today to Teacher Che¡¯s guidance.¡±


    ¡°Are you interested in becoming my student?¡±


    Naturally, this was not referring to being a student in the classroom but an actual direct disciple. Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai accepted on the spot.


    After all, without Che Yucheng¡¯s guidance, he wouldn¡¯t have come this far.


    ¡°Greetings, Teacher!¡±


    Very good, this is a gift I have prepared for you.¡±


    Che Yucheng helped Chen Mobai up with a smile then pulled a long square box from under his desk. It seemed to have been prepared beforehand, and judging from its shape, it most likely contained a puppet.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher, what¡¯s this?¡±


    ¡°An Unseen Puppet!¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s casual words made Chen Mobai¡¯s hand go soft. The gift was so valuable that he was hesitant to accept it.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Unseen Puppets, known as the peak of puppetry artistry, were worth at least tens of millions of Good Deed Points.


    ¡°Teacher, this is too valuable.¡±


    ¡°Accept it since I¡¯m giving it to you. Good. I¡¯ve updated your cultivation level in the system. You can apply for a new student ID, which will allow access to the back mountain.¡±


    Acting as though he¡¯d merely given a piece of paper, Che Yucheng signed for Chen Mobai to accept the gift. He then registered his disciple¡¯s successful Foundation Establishment in the records and sent out a notice on the campus network.


    [Congratulations to our school¡¯s student Chen Mobai from batch 5012 for successful Foundation Establishment]

 Chapter 223 - Chapter 223: Chapter 223: The Real Genius_l

    Chapter 223: Chapter 223: The Real Genius_l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    A simple announcement in the 5012th cohort caused a significant uproar.


    Ding, ding, ding!


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t even stepped out of his office yet when his phone wouldn¡¯t stop ringing. His classmates, including Ming Yuhua, Yunyang Bing, and Wang Xingyu, called almost simultaneously.


    He had no choice but to answer each call one after the other.


    Those unable to reach him via phone call all began to chat in the Metaphysical


    Class group chat.


    Ming Yuhua: [Wow, Chen is awesome!]


    Lu Zixuan: [So impressive ah w(71 )w]


    Gong Ranran: [Treat us, Chen, time for a treat]


    Wang Xingyu: [I should mention that one-third of his achievement is due to me. Without the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water I made for him, he wouldn¡¯t have improved so quickly.]


    Li Zimo: [I¡¯ve never seen anyone as cheeky as you.]


    Wang Xingyu: [Don¡¯t you want my concocted elixirs in future?]


    The crowd:¡­


    Chen Mobai: [Tonight, same spot, let¡¯s all get together.]


    Just then, Chen Mobai had finished his call and said a word in the chat, instantly garnering a wave of approval and cheers.


    Inside the library.


    Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu, who were gathering data to restore an ancient talisman, saw the popup notification on their phone screens. They showed shocked expressions and stopped their work.


    ¡°He actually established his foundation so quickly?


    Zhuang Jialan, touch gently on her glasses, raised her brows slightly. Her words were laced with a hint of disappointment she herself did not notice.


    ¡°Last semester we caught up to his grades, even surpassing him this semester, we thought he¡¯d reached his limit. Little did we know it¡¯s because he was concentrating on his Foundation Establishment.


    Si Guanyu sighed.


    What he didn¡¯t know was that after Chen Mobai took the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, he only completed the third grade content for his talisman course.


    Thus, near the end of last term, his grades were comparable to those of two high-achieving students in his class. In the nick of time, with one more point, he managed to secure the first position in the third grade.


    However, upon entering the fourth grade this year, Chen Mobai¡¯s grades began to plummet, and he fell to the bottom in the past two monthly exams.


    At this point, some people were doubting Chen Mobai¡¯s talent.


    Especially Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan, who passed Rank-2 Talisman Maker exams this year.


    The Rank-2 Talisman Maker exam in the Daoist Academy is notoriously strict. Upon enrollment, each and every candidate will be given randomly generated ten Rank-2 talismans, they are then required to practice on their own and then make the talismans on the spot at the official test site a year later.


    The test lasts for 24 hours, and if a candidate can successfully make eight out of the ten talismans, they pass the exam.


    Over eighty percent of Rank-2 Talisman Makers are in the Foundation Establishment realm.


    Those who can be Rank-2 Talisman Maker in the Qi Cultivating Realm are generally considered geniuses in the field of talisman making.


    Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan applied for the exam last year, and after passing the examination this year, they completely overshadowed Chen Mobai in the talisman sector.


    Some people had even begun to remove Chen Mobai from the list of ¡°Top io Talents of the 5012nd Cohort¡±. They had claimed the top spots in the talisman rankings.


    ¡°He sees more clearly than all of us,¡± stated Zhuang Jialan. Even though she was once proud of passing the Rank-2 Talisman Maker exam, after seeing the news of Chen Mobai¡¯s successful Foundation Establishment, she felt her achievement was absurdly minuscule and insignificant.


    ¡°After we fix this ancient talisman, I¡¯ll devote myself entirely to the cultivation of threshold techniques,¡± Si Guanyu stated, who also seemed to understand something. The average level of mastering these techniques is generally during the sixth year of the Dao Academy. Hence, they previously thought they had time to understand it and didn¡¯t need to rush.


    But after Chen Mobai became the second student to establish foundation successfully in the 5012nd cohort, they started to feel the pressure. After all, Zhongli Tianyu is far beyond their reach, so even if the former made unprecedented progress, they haven¡¯t felt any substantial comparison or sensation.


    However, Chen Mobai has been with them day and night over the past four years, attending classes together every week.


    The enormous impact of this person beside them achieving such a success stirred up their spirit to compete.


    I must be the third person to establish my foundation in our cohort! At this moment, Chen Mobai also appeared in the talisman class group chat and sent a location.


    He is hosting a dinner tonight to celebrate his successful Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Are we going?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m going to eat him out of house and home!¡± Zhuang Jialan said, clenching her small fists, appearing a little unsatisfied.


    On the Sword Control Department¡¯s training ground, two bright swords struck each other with repeated, deafening clashing sounds, controlled by two young boys and flashing with scintillating sparks.


    After about 20 or 30 strikes, one of the training swords let out a mournful whine, falling from mid-air to impale the ground.


    ¡°You¡¯ve got the basics of swordsmanship down pat, but your Divine Sense is a bit weak and your sword control techniques lack flexibility. Additionally, your offensive and defensive judgment needs work. You need more real combat practice.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your guidance, senior Zhai.¡±


    A second-year genius swordsman respectfully bowed to a young man with a horse-like face after retrieving his sword. This horse-faced young man is Zhar Jianbai, who is ranked alongside Chen Mobai as one of the Top 10 talents of the 5012nd cohort. He is acknowledged as the best swordsman, and is considered the character most likely to establish his foundation after Zhongli Tianyu.


    It¡¯s said that, during one of his training sessions, he entered a god-like state and executed the ¡®Sword Qi Long Rainbow¡¯, a level-three state of swordsmanship.


    Although it took him three months to recover after executing the move, he was personally recognized by the head of the Sword Control Department, left Gong Zhenren, who is a Core Formation swordsman, as a ¡°once-in-a-hfetime swordsmanship genius¡±.


    ¡°OK, let¡¯s have another round of sword play. This time, I¡¯ll use 50% of my power¡­¡±


    Just as Zhai Jianbai was preparing to guide his junior again, a female swordsman with a hair bun ran over with her phone.


    ¡°Senior Zhai, there¡¯s a pop-up notification on the campus network.¡±


    Zhai Jianbai almost commented that there¡¯s nothing to look at when it comes to campus network notifications, that it¡¯s all meaningless talk from the leaders.


    But then, thanks to his keen eyesight from practicing sword play, he saw the content on the phone display.


    [Congratulations to our school¡¯s 5012nd student, Chen Mobai, on his successful Foundation Establishment]


    Chen Mobai?


    Isn¡¯t he ranked first in the Talisman Department?


    Did he beat me to it?


    I always thought I was the first in our cohort to comprehend the threshold techniques.


    ¡°Senior?¡±


    Seeing Zhai Jianbai¡¯s odd expression, the two juniors next to him gently called out to him.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Let¡¯s call it a day. I¡¯m going back first.¡±


    After saying that, Zhai Jianbai retrieved his training sword and left the field. ¡°It¡¯s said that every once in a while, during a golden age, numerous heroic figures and talented youths come together in one cohort. It seems this 5012nd cohort is the golden age of our academy.¡±


    Establishing the foundation in the fourth year, such achievement can be ranked in the top 3¡ã/¡ã throughout the history of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°I believe in Senior Zhai, he definitely can catch up to this Chen Mobai!¡± The tone of the young swordsman from Sword Control Department trembled slightly when he said these words.


    That¡¯s the person who is ranked first in Talisman Making, Puppet Making, and Agricultural Studies. The real genius..

 Chapter 224 - Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Posting on the Friends Circle t

    Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Posting on the Friends Circle t


    Translator: 549690339


    After the meal, Chen Mobai took a big group photo.


    Then, under the influence of alcohol, he couldn¡¯t resist posting on his social media.


    [Into my fourth year at Dance Tool Dao Academy, I¡¯ve finally achieved Foundation Establishment. I¡¯m the second-fastest in my year, need to keep pushing myself]


    After posting, Ming Yuhua next to him dragged him into a second round of drinks.


    In the end, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t even remember how he got home.


    The next morning, he woke up feeling slightly groggy.


    But he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator now, cultivating the Immortality Technique for a Grand Circulation cycle expelled all alcohol from his body, leaving him charged with energy, at peak state.


    This technique of the Divine Wood Sect was considered the best rejuvenating method in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Oh right, I remember hearing that achieving Foundation Establishment gives me an extra lifespan of sixty years, wonder if it¡¯s true¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai mused to himself, changing into a set of new clothes, then tying his carefully cultivated long black hair to fit his ancient-style outfit into a simple ponytail.


    Looking at the neatly dressed youth in the mirror, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction, picked up his phone, slung his school bag on his shoulder and picked up a long box containing the Faceless puppet.


    There was a puppet class today, and Che Yucheng said he¡¯d give him extra coaching after school.


    As he did not want to reveal his storage bag, Chen Mobai had to lug around this inconvenient box to school.


    Leaving the wooden house, he headed towards Dance Tool Daoistry Academy.


    ¡°Eh, good morning!¡±


    Just after stepping out, he found he was lucky today, bumping into Meng Huang at the foot of the mountain path.


    Over the past four years, Chen Mobai and her had been mere acquaintances.


    As Meng Huang was a year senior and focused on music and nationwide performances, they had virtually no interaction.


    Embarrassingly, even after four years, Chen Mobai still didn¡¯t have her contact information.


    ¡°Good morning.¡±


    After greeting him, Meng Huang stood on her skateboard, but didn¡¯t proceed forward alone as usual.


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t notice this. He slung his school bag over his shoulder, took a deep breath, and cast a Rank-2 spell that he had long known by heart but could only cast now.


    A flying technique!


    From his Dantian Qi Sea, a drop of liquid spiritual power surged out, permeating his entire body down to the marrow.


    Chen Mobai felt his body become as light as a feather, thereafter lifting off the ground to his delight, he flew.


    Is this the feeling of flying?


    A sense of intoxication surged in his heart. Looking at the ground that was getting farther and farther away, he held on to the puppet box with both hands, maintaining his balance.


    With a light shout, Chen Mobai flew through the air towards Dance Tool Daoistry Academy.


    Of course, the speed wasn¡¯t fast. Meng Huang, on the skateboard on the road below him, maintained the same speed towards the school.


    One was in the air, the other on the ground.


    Meng Huang, on the ground, looked enviously at Chen Mobai in the sky.


    She remembered this school junior who helped her out at the train station in the past, and found him quite impressive.


    But when he moved next to her on the first day of college, she was somewhat uncomfortable.


    After all, being a superstar, she had dealt with her fair share of aggressive fans. Even though she knew that students of Dance Tool Daoistry Academy wouldn¡¯t be such people, she deliberately kept her distance to avoid any potential scandals.


    In the four years since, apart from the first day of school, the two hadn¡¯t walked to school together again.


    Apart from the rare occasion of bumping into each other at school.


    Meng Huang had deliberately avoided it.


    But, yesterday, when she saw that update on the campus website and the familiar name, Chen Mobai, she was genuinely shocked.


    He had actually¡­ achieved Foundation Establishment!


    She had reached the Perfection of Qi Cultivation in the ninth layer early, but because she had not cultivated the border technique, she did not dare to take that step.


    And this junior, who was a year younger than her, had actually caught up from behind and succeeded in establishing his foundation.


    Should she ask him if he had any tips for cultivating the border technique?


    Thinking these thoughts, Meng Huang, today for some inexplicable reason, was observing the wooden cabin in the valley below from her villa on top of the hill.


    Although she couldn¡¯t clearly see what was happening inside the cabin, she could clearly see when Chen Mobai left the house. This was why, over the past four years, she had been able to avoid possibilities of going to school together with Chen Mobai.


    But today, she intentionally waited for that chance and only sped down to the road junction at the foot of the hill on her skateboard as fast as she could after Chen Mobai left his house, then pretended to bump into him by accident.


    Yet after their chance encounter, she didn¡¯t know how to start a conversation.


    And then, this junior schoolmate of hers just said hello and flew off immediately!


    Didn¡¯t he think that walking to school together along the mountain road might be a very romantic thing!?


    Hovering on her skateboard behind Chen Mobai, who was flying awkwardly in the sky, Meng Huang couldn¡¯t help feeling jealous.


    No matter how clumsy or ungraceful he looked, he was still flying by his own power!


    How come she had never noticed before that this junior schoolmate was pretty attractive?


    Meng Huang watched Chen Mobai flying in the sky and felt a twinge of jealousy.


    At the school gate, she finally waited for the fascinating Chen Mobai to land.


    ¡°Junior, shall we be friends?¡±


    Meng Huang didn¡¯t hold back any longer and actually took the initiative to take out her own phone.


    ¡°Eh, sure.¡±


    Chen Mobai found it a bit strange, he could feel that the big star usually avoided him, why was she so proactive today?


    Oh, it must be because I reached Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai, who understood the reason, couldn¡¯t help feeling that the three years he spent at Divine Wood Sect to obtain the Foundation Building Pill was worthwhile.


    Only a higher realm can earn respect from others.


    This is another proof of Taoist Master Qing Ping¡¯s theory.


    Thinking like this, Chen Mobai opened his own phone, and was immediately taken aback.


    99+ unread messages on his social media.


    What is going on?


    But he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator after all, after recalling for a moment, he immediately remembered everything.


    He seemed to have posted something on social media last night.


    Damn, it was a bit too ostentatious.


    After adding Meng Huang as a friend, Chen Mobai was preoccupied with this matter.


    He greeted the big star and went straight towards the teaching building.


    ¡°Hey.¡±


    He heard Meng Huang¡¯s voice from behind, Chen Mobai turned around, looking puzzled.


    ¡°Is there something else?¡±


    ¡°No¡­ nothing¡­¡±


    Meng Huang was a bit shy to ask about the cultivation tips of the affective limiter realm technique from her new friend.


    She planned to wait for some time to become more familiar with him, then naturally ask for advice.


    ¡°Oh, then I¡¯m going.¡±


    After finishing his words, Chen Mobai turned around, but unexpectedly ran into another familiar face at the fork in the stairs.


    Ma Xiaoming.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy student he ran into at the train station waiting room some time ago. That time, he ridiculed Chen Mobai for being lucky to be admitted to school due to the expansion policy. Now, he stood there, looking quite embarrassed.


    He wanted to turn around, bow his head, and quickly run in the opposite direction.


    But he was a good student who abides by the school rules and regulations. In the end, he could only stand there, grit his teeth, and congratulate Chen Mobai on his success in Foundation Establishment, with a traditional salute from afar.


    ¡°Congratulations.¡±


    Chen Mobai never thought that Ma Xiaoming would be so forthcoming. But since he was, there was no need for him to hold a grudge about it anymore.


    He extended his left hand at chest level, slightly raised it, and returned the salute.

    ¡°You¡¯re welcome. I hope the next one to build their foundation will be you.¡±


    This scene was clearly seen by Meng Huang at the bottom of the steps. Having experienced this before, she felt a strong sense of satisfaction welling up inside her.


    Heeheehee!


    Her laughter rang out like a silver bell, making Chen Mobai surprisingly curious.


    This was clearly him putting someone in their place, what was there for her to be excited about?

 Chapter 225 - Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Treasure Trove 1

    Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Treasure Trove 1


    Translator: 549690339 ¡ª


    After arriving in class, there was still some time before the lesson started. Chen Mobai took a seat by the window, pulled out his phone and prepared to check the unread 99+ messages in his friend circle.


    But before he could even start reading, two fellow students came over to him and congratulated him on his Foundation Establishment with an ancient ritual. Being left with no choice, Chen Mobai had to stand up and return the gesture. At that moment, he truly felt the burden heavy fame brings.


    Just as he was about to sit down, another student who had just entered the classroom raced over enthusiastically upon noticing him.


    It was only when class started that Chen Mobai finally got a break.


    Dividing his attention, he was listening to the lecture given by Che Yucheng earnestly while also playing with his phone.


    Since his Foundation Establishment was successful, his Divine Sense increased threefold. Even when he was multitasking, his learning efficiency was still far better than when he was in the Qi Cultivation phase.


    When Chen Mobai usually checked his friend¡¯s circle, many familiar contacts appeared.


    Lu Hongsheng: [Lu Hongsheng boasted about their friendship: ¡°Congrats to my best bud on his successful Foundation Establishment in the fourth year at the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡±] Chen Mobai was in a fake photo with him that was taken back in high school.


    Chen Mobai was speechless at Lu Hongsheng¡¯s blatant bragging, but he couldn¡¯t help but like the post.


    Mo Simin: [Impressive, don¡¯t forget to treat us this year.]


    Kong Feichen: [?]


    Shi Yuanqing, Shi Jingjing, and other classmates from the same school all sent their congratulations.


    His friends Shen Juanxiu, Luan Jingsheng, and others also sent congratulatory messages.


    After going through the posts by family and friends, Chen Mobai finally found Yan Bingxuan¡¯s response: ¡°As expected, you¡¯re the fastest.¡±


    When they had gone their separate ways in the past, they had made a promise to have reached Foundation Establishment the next time they met.


    Yan Bingxuan mentioned she¡¯ll first need to promote her Ice Spirit Root, implying it may take up to ten years before they meet again.


    Seeing Yan Bingxuan¡¯s reply, Chen Mobai was reminded of the old joke and he couldn¡¯t help but reminisce about his high school days, which felt beautifully simple and naive.


    [Will you come back this year?]


    At the thought of this, Chen Mobai could not help but send her a private message.


    He realized their last conversation was nearly two years ago, when Yan Bingxuan returned to Danxia City and invited him out for grilled fish with Mo Simin.


    Unfortunately, that year Chen Xinglan failed the Foundation Establishment, forcing Chen Mobai to stay.


    Time seems to pass quickly in the world of Immortal Cultivation.


    [I don¡¯t know yet, I might.]


    Yan Bingxuan replied with a very delicate statement. A small grin formed on Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    When it came to matters he was interested in, his Emotional Intelligence (EQ) shot up.


    [I¡¯m going back this year. It¡¯s been quite a while since we last met, let¡¯s all get together.]


    [Sounds good.]


    After those simple exchanges, Chen Mobai¡¯s happiness hit another high note. [Congratulations on your Foundation Establishment, Senior Chen. Do you remember me?]


    At this time, a message popped up from a girl with a pink pig avatar.


    Chen Mobai looked at the note, it was from Wanyu.


    He immediately remembered the beautiful girl he had met on the train during his first year of school.


    [Thank you, of course I remember you, Wanyu¡­ It¡¯s a beautiful name.] After responding, Chen Mobai went back to chatting with Yan Bingxuan. However, he was unaware that after receiving this message, Teacher Wanyu¡¯s heart was pounding, her fair, cute face turned rosy, and she gripped her phone, not knowing what to do due to the surge of excitement.


    He still remembers me!


    After a while, she couldn¡¯t help but compose and send another message.


    Chen Mobai spent the whole morning¡¯s puppet class constantly checking his messages and replying to them.


    By the end, Qing Nu even chimed in, asking him to explain the specifics of Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai multitasked and fully disclosed the problems he encountered during his Foundation Establishment and the essential techniques of the Critical Law to Qjng Nu, who seemed very curious and asked in great detail.


    ¡°Class dismissed!¡±


    Only when Che Yucheng yelled this heavy line from the podium did Chen Mobai snap back to reality. This teacher was supposed to give him a special lesson today.


    Seeing that quite a few classmates were coming over to chat, Chen Mobai quickly grabbed his stuff and followed Che Yucheng off the podium under the excuse of asking for guidance, thus making his exit swiftly.


    ¡°No wonder I¡¯ve attended classes at the Daoist Academy for four years and rarely seen senior students who have reached Foundation Establishment. If every class is this enthusiastic, it may become a bit unbearable.¡±


    In Che Yucheng¡¯s office, Chen Mobai placed the Faceless Puppet on the table and handily made some tea.


    ¡°The reason they don¡¯t show up is not because they¡¯re anti-social, but because they don¡¯t want to miss the opportunities in the Treasure Trove.¡±


    Treasure Trove?


    What is that place?


    If you don¡¯t understand something, ask. Especially now that Che Yucheng is officially his mentor.


    ¡°It¡¯s the core area of the spiritual vein of Crimson Mountain, also known as the ¡®Back Mountain¡¯ that you students refer to.¡±


    ¡°Within the Treasure Trove, there are over ten thousand Rank-2 or higher magical artifacts, formed from the donations of all the students who have graduated from Dance Tool Dao Academy over thousands of years after they passed away, making it the number one treasure house in the Immortal Cultivation World.¡±


    ¡°Aside from the Rank-2 ones, there are over a hundred Rank-3 ones, and even a few Rank-4 ones. The Academy Master¡¯s Soulful Mirror was picked from the Treasure Trove. It was with the assistance of this tool that he achieved ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯, leading to Core Formation and Nascent Soul Formation.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but widen his eyes.


    Back at the Divine Wood Sect, he wreaked havoc among the three thousand Qi


    Cultivation disciples just by borrowing a Rank-2 flying sword.


    There¡¯s more than ten thousand of them in the back mountain of Dance Tool Dao Academy!


    ¡°Teacher, now that I¡¯ve reached the Foundation Establishment, can I go to the


    Treasure Trove to select a magic artifact?¡±


    ¡°The Daoist Academy has rules. If you meet three requirements, you can go in and choose one based on your luck.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly served the brewed tea to Che Yucheng. After taking a sip unhurriedly, he finally began to speak, seeing the anticipation on Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    First, you need to be a student of the academy. Second, you need to have reached Foundation Establishment. And third, you need to have accumulated 100 credit points.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly calculated his own credit points. In the first semester, he accumulated 11 points; the courses he passed in the make-up exam didn¡¯t count towards the points.


    In the second and third semesters, thanks to the Soul Awakening Dao Pills he passed every course, accruing a total of 28 points, and he could reliably obtain 14 more points this semester.


    In total, he only has 53 points, far from enough.


    Teacher, can there be any leniency about this?¡±


    Chen Mobai began to regret his laziness over the past two years, wishing he had taken a few more elective courses.


    ¡°Principles are principles. As the Head of Discipline, I absolutely cannot break them.¡±


    Che Yucheng wore a helpless expression.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Ah, I see now why most Daoist Academy students only reach the Foundation Establishment after their sixth year. It turns out the 100 credit point limitation is there.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed. Even if he took a dozen courses next year to earn credit points, he would have to wait until the end of the fifth grade, that is, during the sixth grade, to be able to enter the Treasure Trove.


    ¡°You fool, didn¡¯t you realize that Zhongli Tianyu went to the back mountain last year?¡±


    Che Yucheng saw that Chen Mobai was not catching on and glared at him while bringing this up.


    ¡°Eh, that¡¯s right, teacher that¡¯s not correct, how did he manage to get in? Did he earn 100 credit points in two semesters? That¡¯s impossible!¡±

 Chapter 226 - Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Puppet Dao 1

    Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Puppet Dao 1


    Translator: 549690339 |


    ¡°Time is the most precious thing for a cultivator, a difference of one or two years might be the reason somebody missed a major realm breakthrough,¡± ¡°Such cases have happened several times within the immortal sects, which is why the third principal of our Daoist Academy implemented a rule that a tutor can recommend a student, whose total accumulated credits are less than loo, to enter the Treasure Trove early.¡±


    ¡°Zhongli Tianyu perfectly fulfills this condition. Yet, his tutor still held him back for two years before submitting a recommendation letter,¡±


    Aftrer hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai clapped his hands impulsively.


    ¡°Teacher, I have been stuck in the Daoist Academy for nearly four years now, I believe it¡¯s time for me to be recommended to enter the Treasure Trove,¡± However, Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Che Yucheng roll his eyes and he shook his head, indicating there was nothing he could do.


    ¡±1 am your teacher, not your tutor,¡±


    ¡°Is there a difference?¡±


    ¡°Not really. To avoid the abuse of this privilege, a teacher can only recommend one student to enter the Treasure Trove early every ten years. I used this opportunity on your senior brother eight years ago. If you¡¯re waiting for my recommendation, you might be able to accumulate loo credits on your own by then,¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai thought quickly and immediately considered two other teachers who favoured him.


    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll look for teachers Lin Wenkang and Xu Xiu. They should not have used this yet. After all, someone like me who reaches Foundation Establishment in his fourth year can be counted on one¡¯s fingers,¡± ¡°Only teachers who are at Core Formation can recommend, they are both only at Foundation Establishment, they can¡¯t recommend,¡±


    Upon hearing this, even if Chen Mobai was slow, he would understand why Che Yucheng had emphasised the term ¡®tutor¡¯,¡±


    ¡°Has Master Shaoyang come out of seclusion?¡±


    In his four years at the academy¡¯s automatic tutor arrangement, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t seen his tutor once.


    ¡°No, he hasn¡¯t. However, his cultivation of the Pure Yang body does not require complete isolation. I have some face, I can send the message in,¡±


    While he was speaking, Che Yucheng opened Chen Mobai¡¯s Puppet Box that was on the table.


    ¡°When can I go to the Treasure Trove, teacher?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the rush? Although I have sent the message of your successful Foundation Establishment, he won¡¯t see it until after he has completed his cultivation session. Don¡¯t worry, Shaoyang was also my student, you just prepare to enter the Treasure Trove,¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai managed to calm his slightly agitated emotions.


    ¡°Teacher, this Formless Puppet is too precious and it¡¯s quite wasteful for me to use. Please take it back,¡±


    After he received this puppet, Chen Mobai had used it according to his understanding.


    However, he could only use it as a cultivation puppet and as he had not been to the Divine Wood Sect to exchange the Longevity Sutra¡¯s Foundation Establishment scroll, he could only simulate the cultivation process of the Pure Yang scroll from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°I have made quite a few of these. In a few decades, I will reach my ultimate limit. If I don¡¯t give it to you, it will just be left in the Daoist Academy,¡± He said this, but when Che Yucheng touched the Formless Puppet that was folded in the Puppet Box, his old face was filled with nostalgia.


    ¡°Do you know why the Formless Puppet, although initially based on a cultivation puppet, finally became the peak of the immortal sect¡¯s Puppetry Technique after forming?¡±


    ¡°Its comprehensiveness. The Formless Puppet can almost perfectly simulate a real cultivator,¡±


    Chen Mobai was a true genius in puppetry. In this major course, he had truly put in a lot of hard work. The moment Che Yucheng asked, he immediately gave the answer from the textbook without hesitation.


    You little scamp, using what I wrote to answer my question,¡±


    The compiler of the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s puppetry textbook was Che Yucheng. Chen Mobai was just being smart.


    ¡°The Formless Puppet can simulate a cultivator¡¯s cultivation, simulate the breakthrough of realms, so can it be used as a real carrier of the soul, as a second physical body?¡±


    Upon hearing this question, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but frown, and after thinking for a while he was covered in cold sweat.


    ¡°This is the next step for the Formless Puppet, which is also key to advancing to Rank-4. Unfortunately, Master Xin Ji who proposed this idea has passed away, and I¡¯m too old. I can only pass this question down to the next generation,¡±


    After finishing these words, Che Yucheng closed the Puppet Box and gave it back to Chen Mobai, who received it solemnly.


    At this moment, what he received was not just the Formless Puppet.


    But Che Yucheng¡¯s puppetry inheritance!


    ¡°In the history of immortal sects, Rank-4 puppets have been made at all costs,¡± -However, that is not Puppet Dao suitable for the Immortal Sects. What we need to initiate is the infinite evolution path with renewable materials, starting from Rank-i and advancing to Rank-4, or even Rank-5,¡±


    ¡°The Formless Puppet carries this idea of mine and Master Xin Ji¡¯s. If you get


    the opportunity in the future, try walking down this path,¡±


    When he said this, Che Yucheng¡¯s face was gentle, and he didn¡¯t force Chen Mobai to complete this path.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, teacher, even if I can¡¯t complete it, I will continue your puppetry inheritance,¡±


    Hearing these words, Che Yucheng nodded and smiled.


    Then he detailed the method for controlling the Formless Puppet and its functions to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This puppet requires an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone to operate because of


    its high rank. That¡¯s the only drawback,¡±


    ¡°However, cultivation is just its simplest function. In reality, a lower-grade Spirit Stone can simulate the entire process of Qi cultivation. Only involves Foundation Establishment is an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone needed. The Formless Puppet is mainly created to simulate human body cultivation and unlimited evolution,¡±


    ¡°Since it can cultivate, it can naturally fight. However, there is still that flaw.


    An intermediate-grade Spirit Stone is needed to bring out the power of the ninth level of Qi cultivation,¡±


    ¡°I once applied for a top-grade Spirit Stone for an experiment. It can let the Formless Puppet simulate the realm of Core Formation and it can also exert the power of Foundation Establishment in battle. However, after considering various factors, it can only exert the power of ranking at the third level of Foundation Establishment at most,¡±


    ¡°The energy source problem is also key to shackles on the Formless Puppet¡¯s progress. Unfortunately, the top-grade Spirit Stones of the Immortal Sects are in the hands of Divinity Transformation elders. With my qualifications, I can¡¯t apply for them. Otherwise, I could try to take a step further,¡±


    Chen Mobai reviewed the puppetry manual given by Che Yucheng, taking in all the functions of the Formless Puppet he had explained.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The deeper he listened, the more he understood how formidable his teacher was.


    The material of this Formless Puppet was closer to a synthetic human-like material compared to precious resources. Although it was also extremely precious, it was a renewable resource in the Immortal Sect. It only required cutting-edge technology and knowledge to synthesise


    But if this path of puppetry can be pursued, then the Immortal Sects will have an additional peak art at Rank-4.


    ¡°Alright, after you go back, think about how to get an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone. All the ones I have are resources of the Daoist Academy and I can¡¯t give them to you,¡±


    Although Che Yucheng had given the Formless Puppet, he had no solution for the intermediate-grade Spirit Stone needed to start it up..

 Chapter 227 - Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Divine Slash 1

    Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Divine Slash 1


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Upon returning to his own wooden house, Chen Mobai took out an intermediate grade Spirit Stone from his storage bag right away. Unlike those Xianmen Spirit Stones of Che Yucheng that are repeatedly recharged and used, having only 60-70% of spiritual energy left, this Spirit Stone he got from the Divine Wood Sect had never been used and it was full of spiritual energy.


    Chen Mobai had six of these intermediate grade Spirit Stones in total. All were hard-earned in the past four years at the Divine Wood Sect. Two were welfare from his Spirit Plant division, one was given by Sun Gaochang for buying spiritual wine, and the other three were rewards from Sun Gaochang after topping all competition and ranking first.


    This way, it seemed that the Spirit Plant division was indeed not bad. As long as you focus on farming, not only will no one cause trouble, various benefits and rewards have never been lacking either.


    After placing an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone in the energy slot of the Formless Puppet, according to the mental control method passed down by Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai linked his Divine Consciousness with the core chip controller of the puppet.


    In an instant, Chen Mobai felt as if he had switched bodies.


    Through the visual capture of the Formless Puppet, he saw himself sitting with eyes closed on cushion, after his Divine Consciousness had departed from his body.


    Stretching out his hand, he touched his own cheek through the puppet¡¯s palm, a very strange sense of touch.


    This is the deepest method of Puppetry, named ¡°Art of Descending the Spirit¡±. As the name suggests, it is to integrate one¡¯s Divine Consciousness into the puppet. In this way, the puppet can be perfectly controlled for fighting and tasks using the Puppetry Technique.


    The only drawback is that, after using the ¡°Art of Descending the Spirit¡±, one can¡¯t control their own body.


    But there¡¯s also a solution to this.


    Just ¡°Dividing Mind into Thoughts¡± is enough.


    These techniques for training Divine Consciousness are in the ¡°Divine Control Technique¡± that Qing Nu gave him.


    This Divine Consciousness method has four levels. Qing Nu had taken great pains in choosing this Cultivation Technique. It was most suitable for Chen Mobai at that time.


    After asking Che Yucheng, the latter also said that this technique is very helpful for cultivating the Puppetry Technique.


    The first level of the Divine Control Technique is called ¡°Divine Consciousness out of the body¡±. Once achieved, it is equivalent to the Divine Consciousness intensity at the Foundation Establishment Realm. The reason Chen Mobai was able to complete the final step of Foundation Establishment easily was all thanks to this.


    The second level is called ¡°Dividing Mind into Thoughts¡±. It requires dividing the Divine Consciousness, and after splitting it into two, the two parts of consciousness could progress and enhance at the same time. This is equivalent to double efficiency.


    And the third level, ¡°Integrating Consciousness into One¡±, is when the divided consciousness becomes strong enough to match the main consciousness. At that time, the two consciousnesses can be re-integrated, thus doubling the consciousness.


    The steps of the second and third levels can continue until the Divine Consciousness becomes strong enough to fill the entire Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, which means the mastery of the Divine Control Technique.


    The final fourth level is called ¡°Travelling Spirit Controlling Energy¡±. With the mere strength of Divine Consciousness, you can do anything, and it can implement a powerful technique called ¡°Divine Slash¡±.


    Claiming to be able to kill within ten miles in an instant.


    This ¡°Divine Slash¡± can overwhelm opponents who are not as strong as him in the realm of Divine Consciousness. It is touted as a devastating technique of realm suppression.


    Chen Mobai is the number one follower of the ¡°Realm Suppression Theory¡±, and he thinks it¡¯s necessary for him to learn this ¡°Divine Slash¡±.


    But for now, the main thing is to master ¡°Dividing Mind into Thoughts¡±. By doing so, he will be able to control the Formless Puppet to launch an attack while fighting his opponent at the same time.


    After his Foundation Establishment, he had already reached perfection in the first layer of the ¡°Divine Manipulation Technique¡±.


    Now, he could proceed to the second layer¡¯s ¡°Dividing Mind into Thoughts¡± at any time.


    However, the ¡°Divine Manipulation Technique¡± specifically noted that when splitting the Divine Consciousness, one would experience intense pain and discomfort. It advised those who lack strong willpower to not cultivate this step, recommending instead to switch to some gentler techniques for increasing Divine Consciousness.


    This reminded Chen Mobai of the ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡± and the ¡°Exciting God Travelling Heaven Technique¡±. The former was gentle, whilst the latter was intense.


    At the time, in order to prepare for the college entrance examination, he wished to try the faster ¡°Exciting God Travelling Heaven Technique¡±. Unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t afford nor find any Rank-2 Mind Incense, so he had to settle for the slower ¡°Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique¡±.


    Now that he had reached Foundation Establishment, he was considered a middle-rank member of the Immortal School and was qualified to purchase certain elixirs which help to stabilise the Divine Consciousness and nourish the mmd. He considered giving it a try.


    He logged out and then re-entered his Immortal School online account named


    ¡°If I Will be Blue Emperor in the Future¡±.


    Upon refreshing, two rings appeared, indicating that he had been upgraded from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment. He was now able to unlock all Rank-2 Spiritual Objects for purchase on the Immortal School¡¯s online platform.


    Compared to the Rank-1 items which were often in short supply due to the three hundred million cultivators vying for them, Rank-2 items were much easier to purchase.


    Chen Mobai looked on the official Immortal School website and found that there were still 34 boxes of Rank-2 Mind Incense in stock.


    However, the price was a bit high, requiring 120,000 Good Deed Points per box. But with no other choice, as it was a necessity, he had to buy it.


    After purchasing the Mind Incense, Chen Mobai looked at the Spirit Pens for drawing talismans.


    He needed a Rank-2 Talisman Brush, but found that the cheapest one required 390,000 Good Deed Points. He could only shake his head and decide to seek out raw materials from the Divine Wood Sect and have someone custom make it for him.


    The craftmanship fee for a Rank-2 Talisman Brush was inquired by Ming Yuhua, which only required 20,000 Good Deed Points. It was quite affordable. He had everything planned.


    For the brush handle, he would use the Rank-2 Gold Edge Bamboo from the Water Mansion. After his Foundation Establishment, this object was not of much use to him. After removing the Array Plate embedded with high-grade Spirit Stones, the spiritual energy of that place would only become weaker over time, resulting in the bamboo¡¯s increasing withering.


    As for the brush tip, he had also inquired about it. The Beast Division of Divine Wood Sect had six Rank-2 Mysterious Spirit Rabbits. As he was now considered an elder-level figure after his Foundation Establishment, getting a few bundles of rabbit fur should not be a problem.


    Because the delivery of the Mind Incense would take two days, Chen Mobai started to mess with the faceless puppet again.


    After his Foundation Establishment, the two cultivation techniques he practiced needed to be upgraded.


    The ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡± was easier to handle. It was one of the two heritage cultivation techniques of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. The library had chapters from the Qi Cultivation stage to the Divinity Transformation stage. However, each could only be exchanged with the corresponding authority to prevent students from aiming too high.


    After leaving Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai went directly to the library and got the Foundation Building chapter of the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±.


    But practically, this was of little use to him now.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This was because he used the Longevity Scripture to establish a foundation, concentrating on this wood-attribute technique for years. He barely practiced the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll¡±, only managing to break through to the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation naturally with the improvement of his Pure Yang Daoist Body. Speaking of which, his Pure Yang Daoist Body had been cultivating with the use of Spirit Stones over the years. Based on the efficiency of one Spirit Stone every three days, the Two-Yang Body was already accomplished.


    However, the Three-Yang Body was a bit behind. 900 Spirit Stones required 2700 days, or more than seven years.


    Up to now, he had only advanced less than halfway through the Three-Yang Body.    6


    It was fortunate that he followed Che Yucheng¡¯s advice to first establish a foundation with the Longevity Scripture. Otherwise, he might have had to wait until his eighth grade to complete the Three-Yang Body and move to the next step.


    However, after his Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai discovered that he was able to transform his Spiritual Root into Spirit Stones at a faster rate..

 Chapter 228 - Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Superior Spirit Stone_l

    Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Superior Spirit Stone_l


    Translator: 549690339


    The higher the cultivation level, the faster the Spirit Stone can transform the spiritual root.


    Chen Mobai can now consume three spirit stones a day while cultivating his Pure Yang Body.


    According to this rate, within less than a year, he will be able to cultivate the Three Yang Body.


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 27, Water 23, Fire 38, Earth 10]


    Chen Mobai felt relaxed after testing his current spiritual root.


    Since his cultivation of the Pure Yang Body is entirely dependent on the Spirit Stone, every time his spiritual root improves, it is in the most perfect state. The upgrade of his Three Yang Body has already been completed once. When he finally reaches perfection, his fire spiritual root will be able to be improved by another 6 points.


    With a score of 44, though he might not surpass Ming Yuhua, he will be close to catching up with Yunyang Bing¡¯s fire spiritual root attributes.


    However, compared to their initial fire spiritual root, Chen Mobai is a little upset since they can further increase their attributes after practising Pure Yang Body; for instance, Ming Yuhua, after successfully cultivating the Three Yang Body, can improve to the level of a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root.


    Well, he needs to continue working hard.


    He continues to play with the Faceless Doll.


    He didn¡¯t use intermediate-grade Spirit Stones to derive the cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll, but input the Red Flame Sword Charm into it.


    Having decided to cover the Pure Yang Scroll with this cultivation technique, Chen Mobai did not stint on the Spirit Stones.


    The Faceless Doll¡¯s ability to perform spells far surpasses the Spell Mage doll he ordered. Since it also uses intermediate-grade Spirit Stones as an energy source, it easily extrapolates to the Foundation Establishment stage.


    The Red Flame Sword Charm can be followed by talisman or swordsmanship.


    During his time at the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai engaged in several exchanges with E Yun and others, and chatted with Qi Practitioners like Zhuo Ming and Lu Jun. He realized that they regarded him as a peerless Sword Cultivation Genius.


    For the Foundation Building Pill, Chen Mobai had to pretend to be one.


    His original plan was to slowly make up his foundation in this area after building the foundation. With the sword casting ring, it would be no problem to practice the first two realms of the sword practitioners.


    However, he didn¡¯t have much confidence in reaching the realm of the Rainbow Sword Qi.


    But there are many sword training books in the immortal gate, and the Sword Control Department of the Dance Tool Dao Academy is a major department.


    Chen Mobai felt that if he started enrolling for this main course from next year, and he studied hard under the foundation building realm, it should be possible to achieve the Rainbow Sword Qi within two or three years.


    The reason why he returned to the Divine Wood Sect for such a long time, he¡¯d already laid out in advance with E Yun.


    However, with the Faceless Doll, it wouldn¡¯t be that troublesome.


    Under the abundant intermediate-grade Spirit Stones as the energy source, the Faceless Doll, which has been input with Chen Mobai¡¯s personal attribute panel, has easily succeeded in foundation establishment. Under the conditions he set in advance, it started to focus on the extrapolation of sword techniques.


    Soon Chen Mobai saw the process of his sword training becoming Gang, and Sword Gang transforming Qi.


    Then, the puppet lifted its right hand, the index and middle finger closed into a sword gesture, and gently pointed at the window.


    The spiritual energy wandering in the wooden house converged in an instant, a spark burst out from the fingertips, and in a flash, it turned into a touch of crimson rainbow radiance.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s complexion changed; he activated a protection talisman with his left hand and used a green kerchief with his right, and his body also activated a shield spell, preparing to block the Sword Rainbow before it exploded and destroyed the mountain top. Then, a wisp of blue smoke rose.


    The Red Flame Sword Rainbow flickered like a suddenly unplugged light bulb at the puppet¡¯s fingertip, and after two flashes, it went out completely.


    The condensed spiritual energy collapsed, but this was not enough to pose a threat to Chen Mobai as a foundation building cultivator.


    He gently manipulated the green kerchief in his hand to suppress all the remaining sword Qi ripple and gradually wiped it out.


    After all this was done, he opened the head of the Faceless Doll.


    Sure enough, the intermediate-grade Spirit Stone had been completely depleted.


    This was precisely why the Red Flame Sword Rainbow transformed into rootless wood and sourceless water, unable to explode.


    While feeling relieved, Chen Mobai remembered what Che Yucheng had said.


    If this Non-Entity Puppet wants to exert the combat power of the Foundation Establishment level, it needs high-grade Spirit Stones as the energy source.


    The third realm of a sword cultivator, Sword Qi as Rainbow, is the combat power of the Foundation Establishment level.


    Because of this, Chen Mobai¡¯s ability to manifest this level of ability in the Qi Cultivating Realm is highly valued by the Divine Wood Sect, and they all believe that once he grows up, he will be unbeatable among his peers.


    Chen Mobai took out a USB stick and copied all the data of his own practice of the Red Flame Sword Jue that the Non-Entity Puppet had just deduced.


    As long as he cultivates this way, Chen Mobai can go straight to achieving ¡°Sword Qi as Rainbow¡± without any detour.


    But he definitely won¡¯t waste time on this now.


    After thinking for a bit, Chen Mobai took out the Azure Water Formation array plate embedded with a high-grade Spirit Stone from his storage bag.


    In the past, he had taken this out from the Water Mansion to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill for his father, Chen Xinglan. Unfortunately, it ended up not being used.


    Although this high-grade Spirit Stone is bound by the Array Plate, it has actually been activated, and its spiritual energy is depleting slowly every moment.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t care about it before, but now he plans to put it in the Non-Entity Puppet.


    Aside from allowing this puppet to exert combat power at the Foundation Establishment level, the energy system within the Non-Entity Puppet is far superior to the Azure Water Formation Array Plate.


    Once the high-grade Spirit Stone is placed in it, the spiritual energy will not deplete as long as the puppet is not activated.


    Chen Mobai is already well-versed in the Azure Water Formation, so he has prepared no less than three plans to remove the high-grade Spirit Stone.


    Using a set of prepared jade tools, Chen Mobai spent nearly two hours to finally remove the high-grade Spirit Stone from the Array Plate and quickly placed it into the energy slot in the Non-Entity Puppet¡¯s head.


    Click!


    The energy slot made by Che Yucheng can adapt to any shape of the Spirit Stone, freely expanding and contracting.


    Once the high-grade Spirit Stone was locked in perfectly, strands of spiritual energy started to circulate. Within a breath, the joints of the Non-Entity Puppet lit up with an unprecedented light.


    Chen Mobai immediately used the ¡°Art of Descending the Spirit¡± to infuse his Divine Sense into it.


    ¡°What a powerful force!¡±


    Although he had not used it, the Red Flame Sword Jue, the realm of the Sword Qi like a Rainbow, was reflected in his Divine Sense.


    If he is willing, at the expense of this high-grade Spirit Stone, he can exert the power of a Foundation Establishment level sword cultivator using this Non-Entity Puppet.


    No, the Red Flame Sword Jue is a cultivation technique of the Tianhe Realm, and there is no such thing as Foundation Establishment level third layer.


    In professional terms, it should be the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage!


    After the excitement, Chen Mobai retracted his Divine Sense and put the Non-Entity Puppet, which was filled with high-grade Spirit Stone, back into the Puppet Box.


    He felt that he could return to the Divine Wood Sect now.

    Besides reporting his successful Foundation Establishment, he also wanted to exchange for the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Longevity Sutra.


    If possible, also collect some fur from a Rank-2 Mysterious Spirit Rabbit.


    And then return Yun Country.


    The Bamboo Fruits on the Gold Edge Bamboo should also be mature by now.


    After the Bamboo Fruits are picked, all the Jade Bamboo in the Water Mansion can be harvested..

    Chapter 229: Chapter 229: This Person¡¯s Sword Qi is


    Overly Domineering_l


    Translator: 549690339


    In the nineteen countries of the Eastern Wilderness, the Divine Wood Sect had taken control over the territories of four countries after splitting from the Five


    Elements Sect.


    Although these four countries were originally under the influence of the Five Elements Sect, many cultivator clans still maintained ties with the Five Elements Sect, given that it had been less than a hundred years since the separation. Thus, while the Divine Wood Sect was nominally seen as the ruling sect over these four countries, their control was not absolute.


    In Jian Country, there was a Foundation Establishment clan named Yuan. The founder of the Yuan clan, a cultivator named Yuan Hongyuan, initially had no Significant affiliation. However, thanks to his exceptional talent and deep set of opportunities, he managed to pass the threshold of life and death without a Foundation Building Pill and succeeded in foundation establishment a hundred years ago.


    However, there were hidden secrets behind this achievement.


    The residence of the Yuan clan was named Black Cloud Mountain, where the spirit vein was most vigorous at the mountain peak, reaching the lower-grade of Rank-3.


    Yuan Hongyuan, the Foundation Establishment cultivator, lived here, overlooking the mountain.


    ¡°Find a way to kill this one,¡± he ordered.


    That day, an unexpected guest arrived at Black Cloud Mountain, who landed back to Yuan Hongyuan and threw down a portrait.


    ¡°Who is this person?¡±


    upon receiving it, Yuan Hongyuan found that it was a young teenager who looked quite young.


    ¡°He¡¯s the top disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    The arrival didn¡¯t hide anything and conveyed the truth.


    ¡°If I make a move, whether successful or not, I fear the Yuan clan won¡¯t be able to stay in these four countries any longer,¡± Yuan Hongyuan fretted, crumpling up the portrait and knitting his brows.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget that your growth today is because our sect granted you a Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    Having said this, the visitor sneered, without any further delay, directly turned into a beam of spiritual light, and disappeared on top of Black Cloud Mountain.


    Yuan Hongyuan stood under a spirit tree laden with peaches, pondering for a long time, then let out a long sigh and descended from the mountain where he hadn¡¯t left for ten years.


    ¡°Ancestor, why didn¡¯t you notify us when you left seclusion?¡±


    Inside the hall of the Yuan clan, the current clan head, Yuan Shaoyuan, expressed his surprise upon seeing the incoming Yuan Hongyuan and immediately offered him his seat.


    ¡°Find out about this year¡¯s number one true disciple of the Divine Wood Sect. I need to know all his information.¡±


    As the founder of the Yuan clan and a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Yuan Hongyuan was the de facto emperor. Upon his order, Yuan Shaoyuan immediately set out personally, ran to Giant Tree Ridge, and asked about the condition from several disciples of his clan who had joined the Divine Wood


    Sect.


    Two days later, after learning about Chen Mobai, the worry on Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s face deepened.


    If he were to kill this man and the truth were to be revealed, even if he took the Yuan clan and fled the four countries, they would likely still be tracked and hunted down by the Divine Wood Sect for their extermination.


    -Ancestor, this person is recognized by all in the Divine Wood Sect as a Sword Cultivation Genius. He is unparalleled among his peers. If he establishes his foundation in the future, and a Gold Core isn¡¯t out, he will be an invincible existence under the heavens,¡± said Yuan Shaoyuan with a hint of hidden worry in his words.


    As the clan head, he naturally understood that there was a manipulating hand behind the Yuan clan. It was because of this manipulator that they had managed to root themselves in Jian Country, and even gain Black Cloud Mountain with its lower-grade Rank-3 Spirit Vein.


    On ordinary days when Yuan Hongyuan was in seclusion, he, the clan head, would be the one to communicate with the manipulating hand.


    Now that the pillar of their family had suddenly descended from the mountain and was inquiring about Chen Mobai¡¯s news, he, as the clan head, could guess why.


    ¡°You, Little Si and Little Liu, go and watch closely at Giant Tree Ridge. As soon as this person leaves Jian Country, immediately inform me.¡± After long consideration, Yuan Hongyuan had no choice but to follow the manipulator¡¯s orders.


    After all, over the past hundred years, he had done quite a few things in Jian Country that were detrimental to the Divine Wood Sect, and he had already crossed the line too many times.


    ¡°Yes, ancestor, but although this person is the top true disciple, he is only one person. The three of us at Qi Cultivation Perfection, along with that Three-Smoked Cloud Formation, should be able to take him, and there¡¯s no need for you to personally make a move,¡± Yuan Shaoyuan suggested. He felt that Yuan Hongyuan, being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was too high profile, and might likely be discovered by the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s investigators once he took action.


    ¡°Hmph, when hunting a rabbit, the lion still uses its full power. The reason I, Yuan, have been able to cultivate to this day is my caution. I always ensure complete preparation and am able to eradicate the root of any problem, leaving no future trouble. This is why my Yuan clan has what it has today,¡± said Yuan


    Hongyuan.


    ¡°Moreover, not to put too fine a point on it, but if this person is recognized by the Divine Wood Sect as the unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius, even if the three of you together with the formation can take him down, it¡¯s likely that one or two of you may die in the process,¡± added Yuan Hongyuan.


    Hearing this, Yuan Shaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but feel horrified.


    ¡°Could this person be even more amazing than Hong He!


    Hong He was previously the most famous number one true disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, holding this position for a full ten years, leaving Zhou Wangshen and E Yun to alternate in the second and third places. His formidable fighting talent was well-known even outside the Eastern Wilderness to those from the major sects.

    ¡°The last one recognized as the unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius, is the current Gold Core cultivator at Golden Cliff,¡± concluded Yuan Hongyuan. Upon hearing this, Yuan Shaoyuan felt that it was better to proceed with caution, in accordance with the ancestor¡¯s wish.


    However, he also felt pity for Chen Mobai.


    Such talent and potential, yet before he could make his name known to the world, he was about to die from a secret attack


    Yuan Hongyuan, who was on the verge of breaking through to the mid-foundation stage, had once fought off three early foundation stage invaders single-handedly at Black Cloud Mountain.


    No matter how exceptional Chen Mobai¡¯s talent was, he was merely at Qi Cultivation level at the moment. Under the personal suppression of Yuan Hongyuan, there was surely no chance of escaping alive..

    Chapter 230: Chapter 229: This Person¡¯s Sword Qi is too Dominant_2


    Translator: 549690339


    After bidding farewell to the family elder, Yuan Shaoyuan excused himself to discuss important business matters, taking his two brothers with him. They left Black Cloud Mountain and, disguising their faces, hid outside Giant Tree


    Ridge.


    It seemed as if fortune was favoring them.


    They only waited half a month before Chen Mobai surprisingly left the Divine Wood Sect.


    As he passed through a forest, they activated a Cloud Mist Talisman. This talisman wasn¡¯t offensive, but anyone who passed through its mist would be marked by an almost imperceptible smoky residue.


    This colorless, odorless residue could linger for a month undetected, and only their specially crafted lens from the Yuan family could perceive it.


    The trio observed the movement of the smoke from ten miles away. After following for half a day, they found that Chen Mobai had gone to a Fang


    Market.


    This market was guarded by Qi Cultivation disciples from the Divine Wood Sect and also had their family¡¯s shops.


    However, they didn¡¯t want to expose themselves, so when Chen Mobai rented a cave dwelling, they also rented a nearby available one.


    ¡ö¡öIt¡¯s strange. This is their Divine Wood Sect¡¯s property. As long as he shows his sect¡¯s nameplate, he can stay for free. Why spend spirit stones?¡±


    All three were puzzled by Chen Mobai¡¯s behavior, but more mystifying behavior was yet to come.


    They waited for two whole months without seeing Chen Mobai leave the house.


    ¡°This doesn¡¯t look good. Have we been exposed and he¡¯s run away?¡±


    Yuan Shaoyuan had vast assassination experience and immediately sensed something was not right.


    But the cave dwellings in the market were Divine Wood Sect¡¯s properties, so they didn¡¯t dare break the formation and intrude to investigate.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait a bit longer. If still no sign, we¡¯ll report back to headquarters.¡±


    One month went by since they deployed this strategy.


    just when Yuan Shaoyuan decided to give up and leave with his two brothers¡­


    Squeak!


    The door of Chen Mobai¡¯s cave dwelling was opened.


    The long-awaited assassination target was right before their eyes.


    ¡°Damn brat, he¡¯s prepared so many fasting pills.¡±


    Yuan Shaoyuan cursed under his breath, but his years of assassination experience helped him remain calm during this critical moment.


    He asked his fourth brother to track the smoke at the market exit, while he and his sixth brother waited inside the cave dwelling, so they wouldn¡¯t be discovered by the top disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Damn, his direction¡­ He seems to be heading back to Giant Tree Ridge!


    After Chen Mobai left, they followed the smoke, but after half a day they noticed something was off.


    ¡°If he returns to Divine Wood Sect, we¡¯re out of options.¡±


    Even with a hundred times more guts, they wouldn¡¯t dare to kill someone at


    Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°I¡¯ll inform the elder immediately.¡±


    Yuan Shaoyuan is a decisive person. He knew that they might not have a chance to see Chen Mobai leave Jian Country, but he didn¡¯t want to lose this rare opportunity, so he activated a valuable Rank-2 Concentric Talisman. This talisman is part of a pair. Once one is activated, the other one will get the message sent by the activator.


    Black Cloud Mountain.


    After receiving the message, Yuan Hongyuan pondered for a moment.


    Then, his expression hardened, and he decided to activate the other Concentric Talisman.


    [You three stop following him, I¡¯ll set an ambush on his inevitable path back to Giant Tree Ridge.]


    Upon receiving this message, Yuan Shaoyuan sighed in relief. He pulled his two brothers with him, and after conveying the elder¡¯s message, the three of them headed toward Yun Country.


    They were supposedly going to negotiate a sale of Spirit Beasts with the Luo family, a cultivator family from Yun Country. To avoid suspicion and investigation by the Divine Wood Sect after the elder kills Chen Mobai, they had to play their roles convincingly.


    Chen Mobai was completely unaware that someone was following him.


    After leaving the market, he headed straight for Giant Tree Ridge.


    His mind was preoccupied with how to maintain his reputation as an unparalleled genius in sword Dao after he returned to the sect. He planned to say that he had successfully established his foundation, but during the breakthrough process, he had a sudden epiphany and understood an immensely domineering sword technique. He was involuntarily overcome with this understanding and injured his meridians, internal organs, and Divine Sense. He would need two to three years of recuperation.


    After all, he was registered with the Divine Wood Sect for practicing a two-fold Technique.


    At some point in the future, after the Art of Eternal Life, he still needed to have a Red Flame Sword Jue to reveal.


    But he was on the edge of the limit. He had to wait until the Melting Sun Body was completed before he could mimic the Flame Sword Charm¡¯s cultivational level with the Pure Yang Scroll.


    If there was a chance when nobody was around, he could use an unrefined puppet to apply the Foundation Building Realm¡¯s Flame Sword Charm. If someone analyzed the battlefield afterward, they would find traces of the Rainbow Sword Qi.


    But currently, there was no one who could test an unrefined puppet¡¯s power after being set with high-grade Spirit Stones.¡±


    While he was thinking about this, Chen Mobai had arrived at a barren hill.


    It was about one hundred miles past here, where one could see Giant Tree Ridge again.


    Previously, Chen Mobai could only trek over mountains and ridges to cross this barren hill.


    But things were different now.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He had established his foundation.


    He could fly!


    The effectiveness of the two Godspeed Talismans had just run out, so he stopped and started to fly.


    His entire body transformed into a green light, suddenly rushing into the sky. Like a green flying sword streaking across the sky, it sliced a clear path across the clouds, revealing the blue sky.


    Yuan Hongyuan, who was lying in ambush in the middle of the barren hill, was holding a prearranged Array Flag. Seeing Chen Mobai flying across the sky, he opened his mouth wide in disbelief..

    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°[He¡­ has reached Foundation Establishment!?]¡±


    Realizing this, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s face revealed a twist of conflict. The Formation he had set up was intermediate grade Rank-2, designed specifically for opponents at the Foundation Establishment level; it could even bring down cultivators flying in the sky.


    If used against Qi Practitioners, even if a hundred of them fell into the Formation, Yuan Hongyuan could slaughter them all one by one.


    However, Chen Mobai had reached Foundation Establishment!


    He remembered the appraisal given to Chen Mobai by the entire Divine Wood Sect.


    An unparalleled genius in Sword Dao!


    Invincible among peers!


    Although Yuan Hongyuan was very confident in himself, believing his magical duel abilities to be among the upper echelons of his rank, and fortified by the Formation he had set up in advance, he dared to battle even those in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.


    But, Chen Mobai was a Sword Cultivator!


    Moreover, he was an unparalleled genius among Sword Cultivators. Yuan Hongyuan truly lacked confidence in himself to win against such a prodigy.


    ¡°The information I gathered earlier indicated that Chen Mobai was invincible among Qi cultivators during the Sect competition. After that, he obtained the Foundation Building Pill refined by Zeng Woyou. I didn¡¯t expect that in less than half a year, he would have successfully reached Foundation Establishment.¡±


    After piecing together all the clues in his mind, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s evaluation of Chen Mobai was sky-high.


    This man was the first genius of the Divine Wood Sect after the family was divided!


    Joined the Sect for three years, the first true disciple.


    In a place like Yuhu Market, merely a Rank-2 Spirit Vein land, he dared to ingest the Foundation Building Pill, and even succeeded in establishing his foundation.


    This revealed his unparalleled talent. It might even be possible that he had already comprehended a higher realm of Sword Dao at that time, which would explain why he chose to seclude himself in a place of average spiritual quality. Without the Foundation Building Pill, he might have been able to break through this stage with his sword alone.


    Thinking of having to face off against an unparalleled prodigy like this, risking life and death, Yuan Hongyuan no longer held any confidence.


    And, if he wasn¡¯t certain of success, he would absolutely not take risks.


    Thus, he clenched his teeth.


    Finally, he chose to conceal his aura, allowing Chen Mobai to fly past overhead without initiating the Formation.


    [In any case, this information was wrong. If I think of an excuse, I should be able to muddle through.]


    Almost half a day after Chen Mobai had disappeared, Yuan Hongyuan only then collected his Formation and stealthily returned to Black Cloud Mountain.


    Half a month later, Yuan Shaoyuan and the others, pretending that their business talks had fallen through, returned. When they asked about their Patriarch, the latter feigned a sword injury, coughing weakly twice before recounting the ¡°life-or-death¡± struggle that day.


    ¡°That Chen Mobai, as expected of a Sword Dao genius, has already established his foundation. Unaware of this, I used the Five Clouds Binding Formation to detain him. However, his Sword Qi was too overpowering, after dueling for a day and a night, both my protective Magic Artifact and the Large Formation were consecutively shattered by his domineering Sword Qi. In the end, only after sacrificing a life-preserving talisman was I able to barely escape from his sword.¡±


    Hearing how intense the battle had been, Yuan Shaoyuan and the others gasped.

    It was fortunate that they hadn¡¯t risked ambushing him outside of the market.


    Otherwise, they might already be dead and cold now, and after death, disguises would be useless. The Divine Wood Sect had many means to identify their origin from their corpses.


    If that were the case, Black Cloud Mountain would probably be flooded with blood from the massacre by this Number One True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect by now.


    Who would have thought that he would establish his foundation in such a place, and wonder why he¡¯d been missing for two whole months!


    Truly deserving of being recognized as an unparalleled Sword Dao genius by the whole Divine Wood Sect. Even their patriarch, who was almost at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and had the advantage of the Formation and the terrain, was no match for him, only managing to escape in disarray..

 Chapter 232 - Chapter 232: Chapter 230: Benefits of Foundation Establishment!

    Chapter 232: Chapter 230: Benefits of Foundation Establishment!


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°You¡¯ve actually succeeded in your Foundation Establishment!¡±


    Inside the Divine Wood City, Yuan Chiye looked at Chen Mobai, who was drinking tea with E Yun, with a face full of shock.


    ¡°After leaving the sect, I contemplated the mountains, rivers, and the blooming and wilting of flowers. I came to understand the principles of growth and decay, and felt that the opportunity for breakthrough had arrived. So, I secluded myself in a market and took a Foundation Building Pill,¡± Chen Mobai replied, feigning a weak state by softly coughing a few times.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you are a cherished prodigy destined to succeed in Foundation Establishment. Next time, do not rush so. Attempting to establish one¡¯s foundation when one¡¯s spiritual energy is insufficient can likely lead to a failure to complete the step of condensing Qi into liquid,¡± E Yun advised, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.


    ¡°Establishing one¡¯s foundation by understanding the Dao is the most orthodox method of Foundation Establishment. I did not expect that in my lifetime, I would encounter an unprecedented genius like Junior Uncle Chen. I have a premonition that bringing you into the Divine Wood Sect will be the greatest contribution I have made to the sect in my life,¡± Yuan Chiye said with a face full of emotion.


    Initially, in the South Creek Market of the Cloud Country, he had already taken a liking to the ¡°extraordinary¡± genius Chen Mobai due to his outstanding Spirit Root Aptitude. He felt that if he nurtured Chen Mobai in the sect for at least ten years, the latter would undoubtedly become a direct disciple.


    However, he had not expected Chen Mobai¡¯s talent to far exceed his initial estimation.


    This was no longer just extraordinary ¨C establishing a foundation through understanding the Dao is a trait possessed only by those with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    Before the Foundation Building Pill formula was researched, ancient cultivators relied on themselves to establish their foundation.


    The earliest breakthrough among this was understanding the Dao at once, achieving a resonance with the elemental energies of heaven and earth, and directly forming a perfect foundation most suited to oneself: essentially, one¡¯s future cultivation progress would be smooth sailing.


    The reason why the Heavenly Spiritual Roots are highly valued by all major sects is because such geniuses, when they cultivate to the peak of Qi cultivation, would naturally resonate with the corresponding elemental energies of Heaven and Earth due to their extraordinary Spirit Root Attributes, enabling them to understand the Dao during the foundation establishment.


    After establishing one¡¯s foundation through understanding the Dao, is to establish it through force.


    This is done by forcibly stimulating the spiritual energy that has been refined to its limit within the Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea, triggering the transformation of spirit, qi, and essence. Unfortunately, this process is extraordinarily difficult due to the lack of resonance with the elemental energies of Heaven and Earth.


    Nearly ninety percent fail, and those who fail often meet a grisly end: their body shatters, their divine sense is destroyed.


    These two methods of establishing a foundation do not classify as high or low, but the former is a natural breakthrough, occurring as easily as water flowing into a canal, while the latter is akin to seeking life in the face of death.


    However, correspondingly, cultivators who have succeeded in establishing a foundation through force, having survived their tribulations, are undoubtedly the most ruthless of individuals.


    ¡°For instance, that old ancestor of the Yuan Family from Black Cloud Mountain is one such ruthless character.¡±


    The conversation then turned to Yuan Hongyuan.


    ¡°To fend off three opponents of the same realm with only an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level, even I may not be capable of it. If Yuan Hongyuan didn¡¯t have such capabilities, the Black Cloud Mountain and the Rank-3 Immortal Peach Spirit Tree at the top of the mountain wouldn¡¯t belong to them,¡± E Yun praised as he spoke of Yuan Hongyuan.


    ¡°Uncle Master, you are being too modest. Yuan Hongyuan only managed to do that by taking advantage of the situation and setting up formations. If you had enough time to set up the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation and reach the peak of the early foundation stage, you could do the same.¡±


    Yuan Chiye shook his head at these words. He admired those of Yuan Hongyuan who had managed to establish their foundations through force, but within the Divine Wood Sect, it was commonly acknowledged that the top three true inheritors of the previous generation ¨C Hong He, Zhou Wangshen, and E Yun ¨C could possibly establish their foundations through sheer force, even without foundation building pills.


    In comparison, no matter how powerful a loose cultivator might be, the disciples of a major sect like them could not be compared.


    ¡°Enough about that. Junior Brother Chen just completed his Foundation Establishment, but due to insufficient spiritual energy during the breakthrough and comprehending an incredibly domineering sword strike, he injured his spirit and needs some healing elixirs,¡± E Yun then steered the conversation back to its original purpose, explaining why he had called over Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°There are still a few bottles of Rank-2 God Nourishing Pills in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. Junior Brother Chen used all of his sect contributions to exchange for Foundation Building Pills, you take my identity nameplate to exchange for the pills, and also fetch a Heart Stabilizing Talisman.¡±


    ¡°I remember that there is a set of Rank-2 Nurturing Formations in your department¡¯s warehouse. Inform Minister Niu that the newly established market at Cloud Dream needs it, take it into account for the year-end calculations and collect it now.¡±


    ¡°Also, a Foundation Establishment elder can select a courtyard and a shop in the Divine Wood City, as well as a Rank-3 Spirit Vein. You should also inquire about those that are vacant to see which one has the best location and can rent for the highest price.¡±

    Hearing E Yun¡¯s words, Chen Mobai immediately waved his hands, indicating that there was no need for such trouble. For a minor injury to his spirit, he only needed to recuperate for two or three years.


    ¡°Consider these sect contributions as a loan from me. Besides, since you¡¯re officially my person, if I didn¡¯t handle these things for you, wouldn¡¯t it make outsiders suspect our relationship?¡±


    With the conversation going this far, all Chen Mobai could do was smile bitterly and nod.


    He should have made up a different excuse. The Rank-2 spiritual objects E Yun was purchasing for him to recover his spirit were worth at least a thousand sect contributions. The debt from the Foundation Building Pills hadn¡¯t been repaid yet, but now he had racked up another debt.


    ¡°By the way, now that I¡¯ve established my foundation, can I go and gain the true heritage of the Divine Wood Sect? As for the Cultivation Techniques for the Undying Scripture and the Red Flame Sword Jue at the foundation stage, do I simply go fetch them from the Book Pavilion?¡±

    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai began asking about what mattered most to him upon returning to the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°You have to go to the Witchcraft Division for that. It¡¯s also time for you to report your Foundation Establishment to the Sect Leader. Come with me.¡± The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s three divisions govern twelve departments. Among them, the Shenmu Hall directly oversees only two departments, Witchcraft and Cultivation Technique, managing the sect¡¯s hidden strength and heritage respectively.


    He followed E Yun to meet with the Sect Leader, Meng Hong.


    ¡°Very good!¡±


    The old man who was fishing swiftly returned when he heard the news of Chen Mobai¡¯s successful foundation establishment, laughing heartily.


    ¡°The sect is flourishing under my leadership, greatly gratifying me.¡± Meng Hong stood in the middle of the hall, chatting with E Yun and Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Master, Junior Brother Chen has successfully formed his foundation, he is eligible to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm.¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could politely broach the topic, E Yun was already saying it outright.


    As it should be, Lu Yi, who is in charge of opening the secret realm, has been away handling some affairs. We might have to wait until he returns.¡±


    Meng Hong agreed without hesitation.


    Afterward, the Sect Leader continued talking with them for a while, before suddenly asking Chen Mobai a question.


    ¡°You¡¯ve been cultivating till now without a master, are you interested in becoming my disciple?¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai hesitated.


    He had heard that the Sect Leader had reached the Perfection stage of the Foundation Establishment and was about to retreat to attain Core Formation. Now he is focused on cultivating the next Sect Leader.


    Taking on a disciple is definitely because he has recognized Chen Mobai¡¯s talents and wants to catch as many fish as possible.


    ¡°I prefer individual cultivation.¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai refused.


    Although having Meng Hong as his master had many benefits, Chen carried too many secrets to avoid exposure-it would be better to cultivate solo.


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    Meng Hong could only sigh, shaking his head and signaling for them to leave.


    ¡°How is it?¡±


    After Chen Mobai and E Yun left, Meng Hong suddenly turned to look into the shadow of the hall, where Cang Qi emerged, handing him a scroll.


    ¡°We¡¯ve heard from our insiders in the Five Element Sect that Chun Yusu has been putting out assassination contracts on the black market.¡±


    ¡°Who¡¯s the target? What happened?¡±


    Meng Hong lifted his head abruptly with narrowed eyes, causing the temperature in the Shenmu Hall to seemingly drop several degrees, which made Cang Qi shiver.


    Someone took the contract, but up until now it hasn¡¯t been called off.¡±


    If it hasn¡¯t been called off, it means the mission has not been completed yet.


    ¡°What about Lu Yi¡¯s side?¡±


    ¡°Chen Guixian has not left Jian Country. He investigated all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the country, and found that a total of five people have left their residing places recently. The most suspicious one is Yuan Hongyuan from Black Cloud Mountain. Yuan Shaoyuan and his two brothers said they went on a business trip to Yun Country with the Luo Family. However their time of disappearance coincides with Chen Guixian becoming a true successor. Due to the delay in intelligence from Yun Country, we can¡¯t confirm if this is true. But Yuan Hongyuan mysteriously left Black Cloud Mountain yesterday and returned seriously injured.¡±


    ¡°Seriously injured? Are you sure?¡±


    Although he knew that Yuan Hongyuan might potentially be a spy implanted in Jian Country by an opposing sect, Meng Hong also knew this man achieved Foundation Establishment through force, and has astonishing battle power. Even a Mid Foundation Establishment cultivator could only hold their ground against him.


    ¡°Yes, Lu Yi reported that today, Yuan Hongyuan sent his men to buy elixirs for sword wounds in various Fang Markets. He was likely pitted against a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator and had a hard time.¡±


    ¡°A Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator!¡±


    Meng Hong and Cang Qi exchanged a glance. Thinking about the injury that Chen Mobai had earlier, an answer immediately emerged in their hearts.


    ¡°If it was really Chen Guixian, why didn¡¯t he say anything?¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t had much contact with this kid, but he left a deep impression on me. He has a fiery temper and probably wants to fully recover before personally seeking revenge.¡±


    Cang Qi believed he was beginning to understand Chen Mobai, this simple-minded Sword Cultivator. Meng Hong thought for a moment, considering the explanation quite reasonable.


    Since he¡¯s not mentioning it, let¡¯s pretend we don¡¯t know either. Let¡¯s keep


    Yuan Hongyuan around as his sharpening stone.¡±


    ¡°However, this kid is really savage. He just broke through and picked a fight with Yuan Hongyuan, a renowned Foundation Establishment expert. He won against the odds, reminding me of Master Mo back in the old days.¡± Mo Douguang from Golden Cliff was known as the top sword cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness before his Core Formation, having managed to slain a Mid Foundation Establishment cultivator during his Early Foundation Establishment stage.


    ¡°It¡¯s been four years since the last batch of Foundation Building Pills were distributed in the Back to Sky Valley. Issue a notice in the name of Shenmu Hall, stating that the Divine Tree Secret Realm will open in a month. That should quicken the pace of those brats.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Naturally, Chen Mobai was unaware of the conversation that took place in the Shenmu Hall after he left.


    He followed E Yun to the Book Pavilion.


    The key to opening the Divine Tree Secret Realm has to be arranged by the Cultivation Technique Department, but the Foundation Building versions of the techniques ¡®Eternal Youth Sutra¡¯ and ¡®Red Flame Sword Jue¡¯ only require the corresponding identity nameplate.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai took out his newly upgraded Foundation Establishment nameplate. The guardian of the Book Pavilion was still the elderly Hu surname cultivator.


    He clearly remembered Chen Mobai and was visibly shocked to see that the latter had achieved Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°A young genius indeed!¡±


    With a sigh, he felt his aging body and couldn¡¯t help but regret not fighting till the end to achieve Foundation Establishment through force in his youth.


    The Book Pavilion, naturally, is a treasure trove for other disciples of the Divine Wood Sect..

    However, Chen Mobai took the Foundation Establishment chapters of the Immortal Life Scripture and the Red Flame Sword Jue and left without any hesitation.


    ¡°Younger brother Chen¡¯s heart is as firm as a sword!¡±


    E Yun watched as Chen Mobai selected two books and returned within the time it took an incense stick to burn. He thought that in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart, there was nothing beyond the sword.


    Chen Mobai could not explain himself and had to accept the assumption.


    What he was really thinking was to explore the Divine Tree Secret Realm before revealing his true capabilities and see the profound secrets of the much-praised heritage of the Divine Wood Sect.


    After all, he had already achieved his two goals for infiltrating the Divine Wood Sect.


    The first was the Foundation Building Pill, which greatly facilitated his success in Foundation Establishment.


    The second was the Dual Aspect Skill to improve the chances of Core Formation. After obtaining the Immortal Life Scripture, which could be cultivated to the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, this goal could also be considered fulfilled.


    He was now ready to escape at any time.


    However, he had gained a reputation in the Divine Wood Sect, and if he could maintain his profile as a peerless genius in the Sword Dao without breaking it, he would still like to keep mingling here.


    After all, he liked the atmosphere here very much.


    No one disturbed his farming and cultivation.


    The two of them returned to E Yun¡¯s courtyard in Divine Wood City, where Chen Mobai would soon have a building of his own, a shop, and a Rank-3 Spirit Vein Cave Dwelling.


    Thinking of this made the idea of leaving the Divine Wood Sect even less appealing.


    Yuan Chiye was already waiting for them.


    ¡°There is only one bottle of God Nourishing Pills left, no Heart Stabilizing Talisman, but I did get the Nurturing Formation. But that¡¯s only because I¡¯m a True Disciple from the Formation Division and got there early.¡±


    Upon hearing this, E Yun frowned. Although his appearance was ordinary, his anger was quite formidable.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°Ding Ying and Feng Hongxue failed in Foundation Establishment. They each exchanged for one bottle of God Nourishing Pills and a Heart Stabilizing Talisman. Not long after you left, the Shenmu Hall announced the impending opening of the Divine Tree Secret Realm. The other dozen or so True Disciples who obtained the Foundation Building Pills were a bit impatient and exchanged for every Spiritual Object that could potentially improve the success rate of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    The Heart Stabilizing Talisman and Nurturing Formation could calm the mind and were somewhat helpful during the out-of-body experience for those with insufficient Divine Sense.


    ¡°What about you? The Divine Tree Secret Realm needs to rest for a while before it can be opened again. If you miss this opportunity, even if you succeed in Foundation Establishment, you¡¯ll have to wait another three years.¡±


    Upon hearing this, E Yun realized that this was Meng Hong urging those senior True Disciples, who had obtained Foundation Building Pills but were hesitant to take the next step, to proceed.


    The last time the Divine Tree Secret Realm was opened was when he, Hong He, and Zhou Wangshen all successfully established their Foundations.


    ¡°I was just about to discuss it with you. Should I use this Nurturing Formation first?¡±


    Hearing this, E Yun turned to look at Chen Mobai. The latter did not hesitate and immediately nodded.


    ¡°Elder Brother Yuan, go ahead, and I¡¯ll wish you success in Foundation Establishment.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your good words, then I¡¯ll enter closed-door cultivation.¡±


    After saying this, Yuan Chiye showed a relieved expression on his face. If it were not for the command from Shenmu Hall, he might not have had the courage to take this step.


    ¡°Elder Brother Yuan, this is a ¡®Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf¡¯ I obtained in the Divine Tree Secret Realm last time. I¡¯m still exploring its functions, but wearing it can clear your mind and resist external temptations. It¡¯s somewhat helpful for Foundation Establishment. You can use it first.¡±


    E Yun took out a leaf as thin as a cicada¡¯s wing and about the size of a palm from his storage bag.

    Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye were taken aback. This was the opportunity E Yun had obtained in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Master.¡±


    Yuan Chiye accepted it without any ceremonial pretense.


    Chen Mobai also gave a high-quality Rank-1 Resurrection Talisman, which could help recover quickly in case of a failed Foundation Establishment.


    It was also a token of his goodwill..

 Chapter 235 - Chapter 235: Chapter 231 Xiao Nanshan l

    Chapter 235: Chapter 231 Xiao Nanshan l


    Translator: 549690339


    After Yuan Chiye went into seclusion for his Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai inquired E Yun about the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°This is a secret passed down orally in our Divine Wood Sect, now that you¡¯ve reached Foundation Establishment, there¡¯s no harm in telling you.¡±


    ¡°It is said that the Divine Tree Secret Realm was left behind by an ancient cultivator. The True Monarch Yuanyuan once entered it and, after acquiring the greatest opportunity, it should have collapsed and disappeared.¡±


    ¡°However, the True Monarch, out of compassion for all beings, felt that future cultivators should be given an opportunity. Hence, he painstakingly transplanted three Divine Trees and connected them to the Spirit Vein of the Giant Tree Ridge, reinforcing this Secret Realm, and even left behind an entrance that can be opened.¡±


    ¡°After you enter, there will be three paths, each representing a different type of test. The opportunity you get depends on this.¡±


    E Yun no longer treated Chen Mobai as an outsider, revealing the secrets passed down from the foundation of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Chen Mobai had no idea about ancient cultivators, Secret Realms or Divine Trees.


    However, True Monarch Yuanyuan was quite well-known.


    He was the most recent Ascended Monk in the Tianhe Realm. Since the Divine Tree Secret Realm had some association with him, the things inside must be extraordinary.


    ¡°What exactly are the three tests?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, the more he knew, the better prepared he could be.


    E Yun chuckled.


    ¡°Dao, Legal treasures, Talent!¡±


    ¡°Can you explain each of them?¡±


    E Yun didn¡¯t know the exact answer to this question, so he shook his head and simply shared his own experience.


    ¡°After entering the Secret Realm, all you need to do is show your true nature and advance in any of the three directions.¡±


    ¡°I fainted in front of the Dao tree, obtained the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf from the Legal treasures tree and from the Talent tree, I got an Ancient Method scroll.¡±


    ¡°Back then, when the three of us brothers entered the Secret Realm, Zhou Wangshen and I quickly passed out in front of the Dao tree. But when we passed out, our senior brother Hong He was still marching forward steadily, he may know something.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai thanked E Yun.


    In a competitive environment like the Tianhe Realm, E Yun¡¯s ability to generously share his experience and insights showed immense generosity.


    ¡°Is Senior Brother Hong He at the Giant Tree Ridge? Would it be inconvenient for me to visit him?¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai naturally asked a question.


    As for this outstanding head disciple of the previous generation, who was deemed as his equal, Chen Mobai always wanted to meet him.


    ¡°Well¡­after Senior Brother Hong He¡¯s Foundation Establishment, he¡¯s been in the Yun Meng Ze and hasn¡¯t returned. If you want to see him, you might have to look for him in Yun Meng Ze yourself.¡±


    Hong He is vastly different from Zhou Wangshen and E Yun. His temperament is solitary, but his talent is extraordinary, proficient in Body Forging, Sword Training, Formations, and Puppets.


    Just like Chen Mobai, they both are focused on cultivation.


    Yun Meng Ze is regarded as the most precious land in the Eastern Wilderness. Confident cultivators will choose to stay there for a long period of time.


    After all, the major merchants from Central State permanently station themselves near Fengyu Pass, ready to spend large sums of money to buy inner cores of demonic beasts.


    ¡°That¡¯s a shame.¡±


    Chen Mobai could only sigh. Then, pretending to be still recovering from his injury, he coughed a few times.


    Yun Meng Ze was too dangerous. Without a compelling reason, he would definitely not consider going there.


    Although Yuan Chiye was in seclusion, he arranged all the matters that E Yun requested before leaving.


    The benefits of the Elder of Foundation Establishment in the Divine Wood Sect were also claimed for Chen Mobai.


    Among the twelve departments, there is a Spiritual Vein Department.


    This department might sound like it controls the sect¡¯s Spirit Vein, but in reality, apart from the Spirit Vein, it also governs the property shops in the Giant Tree Ridge and the retail outlets of the Divine Wood Sect in the major Fang Markets of the Eastern Wilderness.


    After Chen Mobai was promoted to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his benefits were distributed by this department.


    However, he first needs to complete some procedures at the Reward Virtue Hall.


    With E Yun, the sect leader¡¯s disciple stepping in, all official procedures were handled in less than a day for Chen Mobai.


    In the grand hall of the Spirit Vein Department, there was a miniature model of the Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°The two elders, the ones that are lit up already have a owner. The rest, you can choose as you like,¡±


    A tall and mediocre-looking female Qi Practitioner escorted E Yun and Chen Mobai here, pointing at the floating, slightly transparent model in mid-air and said.


    Chen Mobai nodded his head slightly, looking closely.


    He found out that most of the courtyards and shops in the Divine Wood City were already taken, especially the busiest central street, which had none left at all.


    ¡°Our sect does not have this many Elders of Foundation Establishment, right?¡±


    E Yun frowned upon seeing that all of the 300 shops on the busiest street were taken.


    He himself had rented out his shop directly to one of his senior brothers, receiving an annual rent of a thousand Spirit Stones.


    ¡°Indeed we do not have that many established elders, but there¡¯s no issue with the property rights of these 300 shops. If Elder E Yun has time, he can have a talk with our department head.¡±


    The Qi Practitioner from the Spirit Vein Department wiped the sweat off her forehead, answering E Yun¡¯s question a bit unconfidently.


    ¡°Are there any larger shops?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai opened his mouth, helping her out of the predicament.


    ¡°Yes, the larger the shop, the more remote the place is, Elder Chen you can look here.¡±


    The female Qi Practitioner let out a sigh of relief, quickly pointing to the south of Divine Wood City.


    ¡°This won¡¯t work, this place is inhabited by mortals. Even if the shop is big, it won¡¯t make much Spirit Stone profits.¡±


    E Yun immediately shook his head upon seeing this..

 Chapter 236 - Chapter 236: Chapter 231: Xiao Nanshan 2

    Chapter 236: Chapter 231: Xiao Nanshan 2


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Divine Wood City was originally an area inhabited by ordinary people. After all, many cultivators have descendants, and there are some tasks that require ordinary people to carry out. So, the sect decided to open a plain here. However, as time went on, the population gradually flourished and it became today¡¯s situation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s pick the largest one, I might open a rice shop or a tavern in the future, and I need a warehouse. It doesn¡¯t matter if the place is a bit remote.¡±


    Chen Mobai ended up selecting the largest shop in the southern part of the city, which was nearly a thousand square meters.


    ¡°Uncle Master has good vision, this place was originally a granary. But later to maintain hygiene, the Sect Leader promoted the use of Fasting Pills among mortals, and this granary became vacant and then was transformed into a shop.¡±


    After choosing the shop, Chen Mobai also selected a courtyard-house. Using the excuse of needing to manage the shop, he selected a two hundred-square-meter house in the south of the city.


    The main reason was for tranquility. After all, he was someone who would disappear at any time. Even though he would only stay at this house occasionally, if his neighbors were all Foundation Establishment cultivators, it could potentially expose him over the years.


    Although E Yun didn¡¯t think Chen Mobai¡¯s choices were good, he didn¡¯t intervene either.


    It wasn¡¯t until the final selection of the cultivation place, which was a Rank-3 Spiritual Vein Cave Dwelling, that he began to take it seriously.


    ¡°Junior Brother, the Rank-3 Spiritual Veins can be divided into upper, middle and lower grades. For the sake of convenient cultivation, you absolutely can¡¯t¡¯ be careless.¡±


    ¡°Elder Uncle, the upper-grade Rank-3 Spirit Veins were already picked clean twenty years ago.¡±


    The female Qi Cultivating cultivator who said this started to sweat profusely again.


    Everyone wanted the best Spirit Veins. The disciples of the Spirit Vein Department depended on this privilege to gain high status within the sect.


    E Yun, as the Sect Leader¡¯s disciple, had his own upper-grade Rank-3 Spirit Vein Cave Dwelling granted by Meng Hong after his Foundation Establishment. As for Zhou Wangshen, being a descendant of Elder Zhou, he didn¡¯t even need to be mentioned.


    Although Chen Mobai was praised as a peerless genius, if he wanted an upper-grade Rank-3 Spiritual Vein, he could only ask one of the Foundation Establishment elders to give up theirs.


    The Spirit Vein Department couldn¡¯t dare to offend people with such a major matter.


    ¡°If there are no upper-grade ones, there should still be middle-grade Rank-3 ones, right?¡±


    E Yun clearly knew the ins and outs as well. This Chen junior brother of his was simple-minded, only thinking about sword training and farming. He felt that if he didn¡¯t come along, the Spirit Vein Department might send him off with a lower-grade Rank-3 Cave Dwelling.


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. There are still seven Rank-3 middle-grade Cave Dwellings. I¡¯ll mark them for the two Elders. You can see which one is suitable.¡±


    The female Qi Cultivating cultivator immediately extended her index finger, cast a Bright Light Technique, and marked out the seven middle-grade Rank-3 Spiritual Vein Cave Dwellings scattered around Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Huh, how come there are so many Spirit Fields here?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked again and again, discovering that large areas of open plains surrounded one of the spiritual veins. It seemed like they were all abandoned Spiritual Lands.


    The previous head of the Spiritual Planting Department tried to cultivate Rank-3 Spirit Rice here and opened up sixty acres of Spirit Fields. After he passed away, this place was abandoned.¡±


    The female Qi Cultivating cultivator, able to stay on duty in the Spirit Vein Department, was indeed competent and was able to answer Chen Mobai¡¯s question immediately.


    ¡°Rank-3 Spirit Rice? Could it be that this Spiritual Vein Cave Dwelling was not just a middle-grade Rank-3 one before?¡±


    To open up a Rank-3 Spirit Field, some essence of the Spiritual Vein needed to be consumed. If these sixty acres were all Rank-3 Spirit Fields, the grade of this Spiritual Vein must not have been low before.


    ¡°Uncle Master Chen is indeed from the Spiritual Planting Department. This Xiao Nanshan originally was a Rank-4 Spirit Vein, but its grade dropped to a middle-grade Rank-3 after the cultivation of the sixty acres of Spirit Fields.¡±


    Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai thought that this name sounded very pleasant and fit his low-profile personality.


    He looked again and again, feeling that this Spiritual Vein was just perfect for him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s choose this one.¡±


    E Yun also knew Chen Mobai¡¯s character, with his heart only set on sword training and farming. Although the Spiritual Vein level of this Xiao Nanshan ranked low among the seven middle-grade Rank-3 ones, who can resist so many Spirit Fields next to it!


    ¡°Uncle Master Chen, we¡¯ll allocate Xiao Nanshan to you, but the cultivation rights to the sixty acres of Spirit Fields, you still need to go to the Spiritual Planting Department to process.¡±


    The female Qi Cultivating cultivator reminded him beforehand, and Chen Mobai expressed his thanks.


    The Spiritual Planting Department, that much face he still had.


    ¡°I¡¯ll accompany you on a trip. I am acquainted with Vice-Minister Jin of your Spiritual Planting Department.¡±


    E Yun saw Chen Mobai to the end. After helping him secure Xiao Nanshan, he again accompanied him to the main hall of the Spiritual Planting Department. Upon arrival, E Yun went to find Jin Shanping, while Chen Mobai went to pay his respects to Sun Gaochang.


    ¡°Master¡­Uncle Chen!¡±


    Sun Gaochang was also here with Lu Jun, who almost didn¡¯t manage to switch his address when he saw Chen Mobai.


    With the announcement that the Divine Tree Secret Realm was about to open, almost everyone knew that a True Disciple had successfully established his Foundation.


    And a bit of inquiry revealed who it was.


    However, when Lu Jun actually saw that Chen Mobai had established his Foundation, he still had a look of astonishment on his face.


    The image of that boy, who had just graduated from Bud Hall, receiving seed downcastedly and cultivating his Spirit Field, was still in his mind.


    In the blink of an eye, that boy had accomplished a breakthrough that he could never complete in his lifetime.


    ¡°Brother Lu, long time no see.¡±


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t accustomed to addressing people based on their cultivation level, so he still affectionately addressed them as brothers. Nobody else cared, it¡¯s common to be like this just after breaking through, but after a decade or two, you¡¯d get used to addressing people based on their cultivation level.


    ¡°Now that you¡¯ve returned in glory, at last, you¡¯ve stopped by. I thought you wouldn¡¯t want to stay in the Spirit Plant Department any more after you established your Foundation?¡±


    The plump Sun Gaochang was really happy that Chen Mobai came to visit him first. He especially prepared a pot of wine to entertain him.


    This wine, in fact, was bought from Chen Mobai himself.


    ¡°No way, in my entire life I¡¯ve had no other interests than farming and brewing.


    Even if I were to become the Sect Leader, I wouldn¡¯t leave the Spirit Plant Department.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words surprised Sun Gaochang slightly, but he took them as a metaphor by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Have you chosen a Spirit Vein yet? I know a place, a Rank-3 Lower-grade Cave Dwelling. Although it doesn¡¯t seem much, at the foot of the mountain, they¡¯ve opened up twenty acres of medicinal fields. If you take it over, I¡¯ll put in some good words for you so you can get the Cave Dwelling and medicinal fields completely. Even if you don¡¯t manage them yourself and lease them to Sect Disciples, you could earn at least a thousand sect contributions every year.¡±


    That¡¯s precisely what I wanted to discuss with you, Inspector Sun¡­¡±


    Since Sun Gaochang brought it up, Chen Mobai honestly told him his purpose of coming.


    ¡°Xiao Nanshan, it really is the most suitable place for you.¡±


    As the inspector of the Spirit Plant Department, Sun Gaochang naturally knew about the abandoned Spirit Field near Xiao Nanshan. He understood immediately why Chen Mobai chose that place, and he couldn¡¯t help but applaud.


    ¡°Lu Jun, issue my order and get this matter taken care of. Before Brother Chen and I finish this pot of wine and he leaves, transfer the rights to farm that sixty-acre Spirit Field for the next ten years over to him.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Inspector.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt somewhat embarrassed by Sun Gaochang¡¯s quick agreement.


    Previously, when he was exchanging for Foundation Building Pills and was short on Sect Contribution, he borrowed from him to make up the shortfall.


    Now, he harbored no more grudges about being talked into joining the Spirit


    Plant Department by Lu Jun. Even though Sun Gaochang¡¯s attitude improved only after he had revealed his talents, Chen Mobai owes him credit for becoming a True Disciple and obtaining the Foundation Building Pills that quickly.


    He decided to do his best in farming for the Spirit Plant Department and create even better profits.


    ¡°By the way, Brother Chen, our Spirit Plant Department is part of the Reward Virtue Hall. After your foundation establishment, if you¡¯re willing, you could also join the Reward Virtue Hall.¡±


    At the end of the drinking session, Sun Gaochang suddenly brought up this.


    Chen Mobai was originally going to agree offhand, but he remembered E Yun and though he should consider him since he officially belonged to E Yun.


    He told Sun Gaochang the truth, and the latter was still smiling and politely saw him off.


    By the time he left, Lu Jun had already completed the transfer of the rights to farm the sixty acres of Spirit Field.


    That evening, he discussed the matter with E Yun, who responded with a guess after a slight smile.


    ¡°The Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall and my master are the only two cultivators who¡¯ve perfected their Foundation Establishment in the Divine Wood Sect. If my master retires to form his core, the calls for him to take over as sect leader will be high.¡±


    ¡°You mean¡­¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°If he becomes the sect leader, the Reward Virtue Hall will need a successor. I guess he has his eye on you.¡±


    Chen Mobai fell silent.


    He was worried.


    What should he do?


    Seems like his genius persona is becoming more and more deeply ingrained in people¡¯s minds..

 Chapter 237 - Chapter 237: Chapter 232: Taking Disciples l

    Chapter 237: Chapter 232: Taking Disciples l


    Translator: 549690339


    [Spiritual Energy Value: 581]


    Chen Mobai stood atop a mountain peak, shrouded by cloud and mist, looking at the Spirit Vein Level displayed on his phone screen and subtly nodded.


    Even though Xiao Nanshan was considered to be on the verge of falling from Rank-3 intermediate grade, it still had quite a bit of leeway. Aside from the main peak where he was, there were five shorter peaks nearby.


    Standing on the mountaintop, looking down.


    A winding path stretched from the base of the mountain all the way up here. Perhaps it hadn¡¯t been maintained for a long time; the entire mountain was filled with rain-eroded, slightly rounded rubble.


    However, there were resilient Red Sun Trees growing amongst the stones. Chen Mobai also spotted some wild weeds haphazardly growing in the cracks of the stones, and even saw two bright red flowers.


    Going over for a closer look, he found that they were a type of Spirit Grass called Gold Lamp Flower. Consuming it could supplement Elemental Energy and treat venomous bites and stings.


    ¡°Uncle Chen.¡±


    At this moment, two people were walking up from the path at the foot of the mountain.


    A man and woman, specifically Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming, who had joined the Divine Wood Sect from Yun Country¡¯s Southstream Market with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Hmm, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    Not only had Liu Wenbo come himself, but he had also brought over many mortals. These were all workers hired by Chen Mobai to re-cultivate the sixty-acre Spirit Field around Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, the Yubud Lingmi at Small Yang Ridge will take some time before they can be harvested. I¡¯ve instructed Wang Junior Brother and Feng Junior Brother to keep a constant eye on rainfall and pest control. I will also go and check from time to time.¡±


    Zhuo Ming spoke with an excited look on her face as she regarded Xiao Nanshan.


    Even though the mountain wasn¡¯t high, the abundant Spiritual Energy was definitely palpable. She increasingly believed that siding with Chen Mobai was the most correct decision she had made in her life.


    She knew that she should have pledged herself back at the South Creek Market. Maybe by now, she would already be a direct disciple.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, you¡¯ve just established your foundation. There¡¯s a lot of space up here in Xiao Nanshan with few people. You need a disciple to manage these odds and ends. I wonder if I could have the honor of becoming your apprentice.¡±


    While Zhuo Ming hesitated on how to broach the topic, Liu Wenbo, who was more experienced, boldly asked to become an apprentice.


    ¡°Well¡­¡±


    This was the first time Chen Mobai had encountered such audacity, and he was slightly at a loss.


    He was still a student himself and hadn¡¯t even graduated. The idea of taking on an apprentice seemed premature given his lack of experience and ability.


    However, he also thought about the fact that the master-disciple relationship in the Tianhe Realm differed from that within the Immortal Sect. Here, besides imparting skills and knowledge, it was more of a traditional, supportive relationship.


    Liu Wenbo also had a point ¨C managing the sixty-acre Spirit Field by himself in the future would indeed be quite challenging, so cultivating some capable disciples was necessary.


    But compared to Liu Wenbo, Chen Mobai felt Zhuo Ming would be more suitable.


    After all, following the previous Sect-wide competition, she came to Small Yang Ridge with him. Her professional knowledge had already been thoroughly taught by Chen Mobai. Over the past half a year, she had become quite adept at growing Yubud Lingmi.


    However, since Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t take the initiative to ask, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t willing to invite her.


    ¡°You¡¯re currently working under Senior Brother E Yun. If I were to accept you as a disciple, I should at least give him a heads up.¡±


    ¡°This is actually Senior Brother E Yun¡¯s suggestion. He says that someone as talented as yourself should concentrate on cultivation, and your disciples can handle the trifling matters.¡±


    After hearing these words, Liu Wenbo knew that Chen Mobai had agreed and delight filled his face as he bowed in submission.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, why don¡¯t you accept me too?¡±


    Upon seeing this, Zhuo Ming¡¯s face blushed in urgency. If she had known it was so easy, she would have asked to become his disciple after the sect competition half a year ago.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, whether I accept one or two students. Consider yourselves provisional disciples for now. When I return from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, the Jade Bud Spirit Wine I brewed last year should also be ready. At that time, I¡¯ll invite Senior Brother Qi and other friends to come. Then you can officially become my disciples.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai decided to just go with the flow.


    ¡°We pay respects to our Master!¡±


    Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming immediately bowed in unison, thus establishing their master-disciple relationship.


    ¡°These two Crimson Flame Sword Talismans can serve as your welcome gifts.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed out two talismans he had drawn himself. Both disciples accepted them with delight, contemplating what they should prepare as gifts for their official discipleship ceremony.


    ¡°Let¡¯s take this opportunity to discuss any doubts you have about your cultivation. Although I haven¡¯t cultivated for much longer than you, I do have some unique insights on the Scripture of Eternal Life.¡±


    These words were humble.


    Within the entire Divine Wood Sect, among those of equal level, Chen Mobai had the deepest understanding of the Scripture of Eternal Life.


    After all, with deductions from the puppet and the effect of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, his understanding of this cultivation technique at the Qi Cultivation stage was almost on par with the sages who created it.

    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming spoke in unison, then glanced at each other, realizing they hadn¡¯t yet determined who was the senior or junior among them.


    ¡°Wenbo, you go first. From now on, you¡¯ll be the eldest brother.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming made a mortified face. The opportunity to be the elder sister had just slipped from her hands.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯m simultaneously practicing the Scripture of Eternal Life and Flame Sword Charm. The former is already at Qi Cultivation Level 8, but the latter is stuck at Qi Cultivation Level 6. This is why I can¡¯t master the Dual-phase Rotation..¡±

 Chapter 238 - Chapter 238: Chapter 232: Taking a Disciple_2

    Chapter 238: Chapter 232: Taking a Disciple_2


    Translator: 549690339


    To master the Dual-Phase Technique, the discipline must achieve the seventh layer of Qi cultivation for both phases.


    If the ¡°Longevity Spiritual Power¡± and ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡± have both reached the eighth layer of Qi cultivation, invoking the Dual-phase Rotation could harness the power of the ninth layer in a short period.


    Of course, it merely elevates minor realms. The bottleneck between Qi cultivation and Foundation Establishment cannot be overcome by this technique.


    ¡°Inject into me one of your spiritual energy.


    Even though Liu Wenbo didn¡¯t understand why, he obediently did as instructed.


    Chen Mobai held up the Spirit-Testing Instruments he had hidden in his palm and inspected his disciple¡¯s Spiritual Roots.


    Liu Wenbo: [Gold 13, Wood 27, Water 28, Fire 22, Earth 10]


    ¡°How old are you this year?¡±


    ¡°I will turn thirty by year¡¯s end.¡±


    Liu Wenbo answered honestly. It¡¯s indeed commendable that at his age, he could cultivate the ¡°Longevity Spiritual Power¡± to the eighth layer of Qi cultivation while simultaneously practicing the Dual-Phase Technique.


    ¡°You have time to switch cultivation techniques. The ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡± doesn¡¯t suit you, but you can practice the Dual-Phase Technique that combines the cultivation techniques of water and wood. However, since this impacts your life, the decision must ultimately be yours.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished these words, he asked Liu Wenbo about his confusion in cultivating the ¡°Longevity Spiritual Power¡±.


    He discovered that, although he had reached the eighth layer of Qi cultivation in this technique, it was mostly due to forcefully using Spirit Stones and pills. His understanding of the essence of the cultivation technique was limited to a few spells suitable for magical duels.


    Chen Mobai again asked Liu Wenbo to circulate his spiritual power. Although Chen Mobai didn¡¯t use the Formless Mannequin to predict, his own experience and discernment helped him point out more than ten areas where Liu Wenbo could improve.


    ¡°Thank you for the guidance, Master.¡±


    Liu Wenbo circulated the ¡°Longevity Spiritual Power¡± again according to Chen Mobai¡¯s tips, to find that both his speed and Spirit Qi refining efficiency had increased by half. This greatly surprised him, spurring deeper respect and more profound obeisance towards his newly consecrated teacher.


    In the Tianhe Realm, the inheritance of knowledge and experience is highly valued. Only to direct disciples or close blood relatives is such candid guidance given.


    This deed of Chen Mobai made their disciples feel that they were not just laborers, but real inheritors.


    ¡°Hmm, you can temporarily stop practicing the ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡±, and raise the ¡°Longevity Spiritual Power¡± to the ninth layer of Qi cultivation. Then, you can try competing for the position of a true disciple.


    As for Liu Wenbo, E Yun and Yuan Chiye initially planned to nurture him to follow their faction as the successor of the True Discipleship. After all, it was indeed very quick for Chen Mobai, who had been confirmed as their symbol, to succeed in establishing his foundation just after being a True Disciple for half a year.


    If Yuan Chiye also succeeds in his foundation building next, there would only be one other true disciple left in their faction from the Spirit Beast Department. That would be too few.


    ¡°Teacher, what about me? I am of average aptitude and don¡¯t wish to cultivate the Dual-Phase Technique. I just hope to obtain a Foundation Building Pill in my lifetime.¡±


    Zhuo Ming passed her spiritual power over and noticed Chen Mobai looking at it with a serious face. She thought her practiced spiritual power was too inferior and it displeased the teacher.


    ¡°When you tested for spiritual roots back in the Fang Market, you were a three spiritual root cultivator, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly asked.


    ¡°Correct, I remember it clearly, there were three colors: green, black, and


    yellow.¡±


    Zhuo Ming would never forget the scene of testing her spiritual roots at the Southstream Market.


    While her aptitude is not as peak as the teacher¡¯s nearly two spiritual roots, she was extremely pleased with her ordinary three spiritual roots as a loose cultivator.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai looked at the results shown on the Spirit-Testing Instruments in his hands with a bizarre expression.


    Zhuo Ming: [Gold 3, Wood 20, Water 21, Fire 9, Earth 471


    The attribute points of her Earth Spiritual Root nearly filled half of the screen. To avoid measurement errors, Chen Mobai had Zhuo Ming transfer another ray of spiritual power to him.


    However, the results were exactly the same. Perhaps there was a slight fluctuation in her emotions-the Gold attribute had reduced a little, and the Fire attribute had increased slightly.


    Yet, the Earth 47 remained wholly unchanged.


    This child is born for farming.


    ¡°Have you ever considered switching to Earth Attribute Cultivation


    Techniques?¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    Zhuo Ming had been practicing her father¡¯s ¡°Classic of Materia Medica¡± since she was a child and switched to the same attribute ¡°Longevity Spiritual Power¡± when she entered the sect. She believed that her constitution was suited for Wood Attribute Cultivation Techniques.


    But now Chen Mobai was telling her she should practice Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques. This took her by surprise.


    ¡°Your Three Spiritual Roots aptitude is already above average, yet you have been stuck at the Rank-6 Qi Cultivation stage for four years, I believe it¡¯s because your constitution is not suitable for the Longevity Spiritual Power cultivation technique.¡±


    Chen Mobai was being completely honest, as for whether Zhuo Ming, this disciple, was willing to give up the wood attribute cultivation technique that she had practiced for nearly twenty years, it was something she had to decide for herself.


    Just like Liu Wenbo, he again pointed out some things about Zhuo Ming¡¯s Longevity Power Cultivation and found that although her realm is low, her foundation is quite steady.


    Running through her spiritual power cycle, Chen Mobai found only five or six problems, which, although few, made Zhuo Ming¡¯s Longevity Spiritual Power flow more smoothly, even offering traces of loosening the bottleneck of the Qi Cultivation layer that she had been unable to break through.


    However, this only twisted Zhuo Ming¡¯s thoughts further.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, she felt that with just another year or so of cultivation, she could break through to the Rank-7 Qi Cultivation.


    If she chose to switch to earth attribute cultivation techniques, due to her not having the same attribute spiritual power, it¡¯s uncertain how many years would be delayed.


    ¡°Master, I¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just giving a suggestion, just like with Wen Bo, this affects your entire life and requires you to make the decision.¡±


    After instructing two disciples, Chen Mobai saw the originally rising sun was now directly overhead. It was midday.


    He intended to comprehend the Longevity Spiritual Power cultivation technique for Foundation Establishment and Red Flame Sword Jue, so he waved his hand, releasing the two pondering disciples.


    ¡°Disciple takes his leave.¡±


    The two immediately turned around to leave.


    ¡°Wait.¡±


    But at this time, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered something and called to his two disciples.


    ¡°Master, any orders?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll be waiting in our sect for the Divine Tree Secret Realm to open, and I happen to have two things at hand that need to be done. Can you two help me handle them?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming exchanged glances, nodded their heads in unison, seemingly quite happy.


    A disciple is ready to lend a hand when needed.


    In the Tianhe Realm, being given work by one¡¯s master indicated that one was a highly regarded disciple.


    ¡°Before I joined the sect, I had a Water Mansion in Yun Country where some Spirit Plants are just about to mature. Can you help me harvest them?¡± Chen Mobai took out a piece of white paper and drew a simple map.


    Anyway, the most valuable high-grade Spirit Stones in the Water Mansion have already been taken by him, and that Green Paulownia Seedling was being raised by him in Crimson Mountain.


    The remaining Jade Bamboo was originally intended for sustainable development. But now that Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation level is higher, he felt it wasn¡¯t worth his concern and decided to harvest everything instead.


    ¡°Wen Bo, I remember you¡¯re in the Spirit Beasts Department, I need some


    Rank-2 Mysterious Spirit Rabbit Fur for my Talisman Brush. Can you find out for me how many Spirit Stones it would cost or which elder I need to contact? Let me know when you have news.¡±


    After assigning the two tasks, Chen Mobai finally got some peace.


    He activated a Wooden House Talisman at the top of Xiao Nanshan and entered. Sitting on a cushion inside, he began reading the subsequent chapters of Longevity Spiritual Power that he had just received from the Book Pavilion. There are four stages, starting from the nth stage up to the 14th stage. These represent the early, middle, late, and final stages of foundation establishment respectively.


    This last 14th stage, in addition to the perfection of foundation establishment, also contains the cultivation method from foundation establishment to core formation. Theoretically, this version of the Longevity Spiritual Power in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands should allow him to reach core formation using the Dual-phase Rotation.


    According to E Yun, this cultivation technique has twenty stages in total, which could theoretically allow cultivation to mid Nascent Soul Formation.


    However, the highest cultivation level in the Divine Wood Sect was held by Elder Zhou, who had only cultivated to the 17th stage.


    After reconciling with the Five Elements Sect, this elder had been in seclusion, trying to break through to the 18th stage of Gold Core Perfection and then attempting to transition to Nascent Soul Formation.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As he was already a Foundation Establishment elder, the Longevity Spiritual Power in Chen Mobai¡¯s possession also has a matching cultivation spell.


    What he was most interested in was the so-called Domain Expansion, the ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation .


    However, to cultivate this formation, a ¡°tree seed¡± is required.


    This Tree Seed is made by refining a Spirit Tree. The most complete system within the Divine Wood Sect begins with the Rank-1 Red-sun Spirit Tree, followed by the Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Tree, and the Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Tree.


    As for the Rank-4 Spirit Trees, there are only three Divine Trees throughout Giant Tree Ridge and neither of the two Gold Core elders could refine them..

 Chapter 239 - Chapter 239: Chapter 233: Cultivation Technique_l

    Chapter 239: Chapter 233: Cultivation Technique_l


    Translator: 549690339


    Giant Tree Ridge was originally not home to so many spirit trees.


    After the True Monarch Yuanyuan planted three divine trees, over six thousand years passed before the current flourishing scenery came to be.


    The three divine trees are known as the Everlife Wood. Because the spirit vein of the Giant Tree Ridge contains both earth and fire attributes, they proliferate and form the unique tri-yang Spirit Trees of Giant Tree Ridge.


    Chen Mobai was most familiar with the rank-1 Red-sun Spirit Tree.


    When he first joined the Divine Wood Sect, he has even earned a fortune in Spirit Stones from chopping and splitting wood in the Bud Hall.


    This type of spirit tree grows quickly and the general usage is for firewood, while its bark and leaves can be used to make talisman paper.


    The rank-2 Green-sun Spirit Tree, however, is very valuable. Generally, only one out of ten thousand red-sun spirit trees could possibly advance to become a Green-sun Spirit Tree.


    This type of Spirit Tree has many significant uses. Aside from burning and making talisman paper, the tree juice also serves as a second-grade spiritual medicine.


    Moreover, because of the transformation and absorption of enough earth and fire energy, the tree¡¯s spiritual power is balanced and harmonious, making it an on-demand material for artefact refining.


    The Divine Wood Sword that Chen Mobai borrowed before was made from Green-sun Spiritual Wood, and most rank-2 puppets made by the Divine Wood Sect also use this material.


    Even mortal humans who wear a piece of Green-sun Wood could potentially be invulnerable to chills and free from all diseases.


    The Green-sun Spirit Tree¡¯s next evolution is the rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Tree.


    The transformation of this type of tree is extremely harsh. It comes from the imbalance of its body¡¯s three attributes of earth, wood, Qi and fire, resulting in the fire spiritual power absorbing and swallowing the other two, ultimately transforming into Green-sun Fire, which then burns itself.


    A Green-sun Spirit Tree that can withstand this calamity can then transform into rank-3.


    However, in the thousands of years of Giant Tree Ridge¡¯s existence, Green-sun Spirit Trees capable of nurturing fire seeds without being turned to ash are very rare.


    ¡°Green-sun fire? Spirit fire generated inside the tree! Could this be the ¡®Fire in Wood¡¯!?¡±


    Upon reading this, Chen Mobai remembered an TV show he watched as a child, in which a young deity, who resided in his mother¡¯s womb for three years, became the disciple of a sage after causing trouble.


    The young deity collected three fire types: Fire in Wood, Fire in Stone, and Fire in Air and cultivated a terrifying Immortal Technique ¨C ¡°Samadhi True Fire¡±.


    This True Fire can burn stones and hills, nothing can escape it, dominating everything.


    However, because the extraction of the ¡°Fire in Wood¡± requires burning a lot of forest resources and is very harmful to the environment, it has been explicitly prohibited by the Immortal Gates for practice for thousands of years.


    But here in Giant Tree Ridge, because the Red-sun Spirit Trees grow prolifically, the Divine Wood Sect frequently assigns woodcutting missions in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    Chen Mobai immediately took out his mobile phone.


    He uses his alternate account, Tortoise Immortal, to log on to the proxy ¡°Dao Cultivation Technique Library¡± and typed in ¡°Samadhi True Fire¡±, surprisingly yielding a result.


    It¡¯s a pity, this Immortal Technique is a divine skill derived from the Tian Shu, to prevent those from the Immortal Gates from wasting time on it, downloading and checking it requires rank-4 permissions. The software of the Immortal Gate, which the Tortoise Immortal operates, is only a rank-3 user. Chen Mobai looked regretful.


    Even if he could download the Samadhi True fire, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to cultivate it with his current realm.


    With this matter put to the back of his mind, Chen Mobai went back to looking at the crux of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation ¨C the tree seed.


    Condensing tree seeds is also a major business in the Divine Wood Sect, as the disciples who practice the longevity scriptures are most common.


    If there is no tree seed to accompany, to bring out the full power of this cultivation method, one cannot leave the land of the spirit tree, making it quite inflexible.


    The rank-1 Red Sun Tree Seed is the cheapest. The lower grade ones only need 20 Spirit Stones to purchase.


    After all, Red-sun Spirit Trees are ubiquitous, and even when condensing tree seeds fails, there is not much loss.


    However, the rank-2 Green-sun Spirit Tree is different.


    Back in the day on the Green Light Island, the Spirit Tree that Chen Mobai and Qi Rui were guarding along with Wang Yuanwu, was a Green-sun Spirit Tree.


    This type of Spirit Tree is a major resource of the Divine Wood Sect to open the market and even for battle, the complete transplantation of thirty-six of them can establish a large-scale ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation¡±.


    The large formation draws in the essence of the earth¡¯s veins and connects the heaven and earth¡¯s elemental energies to condense the formidable ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡± of the Longevity Scripture.


    Chen Mobai has witnessed the power of the ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡±


    The rank-2 Demonic Beasts, when hit directly, are instantly vaporized.


    As such, every Green-sun Spirit Tree is considered a strategic resource of the Divine Wood Sect. It would not be considered for condensing any tree seeds, and losing any one of them could result in responsibility being pursued by the sect.


    But Chen Mobai is now a Foundation Establishment cultivator. For him, the rank-1 Red Sun Tree Seed is just a practice.


    On the other hand, the Green-sun Tree Seed of rank-2 has prices ranging from two thousand to over ten thousand Spirit Stones in the sect, depending on the quality.


    After all, there is a huge difference between each level of rank-2.


    The top rank-2 Green-sun Spirit Tree can even attempt to condense the Green-sun Fire.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, there are long-standing tasks to acquire Fire-Green Sun Seeds with prices starting at ten thousand Spirit Stones.


    Even though it¡¯s expensive, every time Green Sun Tree Seeds or Green-sun Fire Seeds go on sale, they are immediately snapped up.


    Chen Mobai remembered the Sect¡¯s competition, his adversary Mu Yuan seemed to have a rank-2 Green-sun Tree Seed, but under Chen¡¯s overwhelming Rainbow Sword Qi, he was soundly defeated.


    Looking back now, Mu Yuan, being the Sect Leader¡¯s disciple, had he not been overshadowed by Chen Mobai¡¯s dazzling emergence, he would have likely been the champion of the Sect competition last year.


    Chen Mobai realized he was still too poor..

 Chapter 240 - Chapter 240: Chapter 233 – Cultivation Technique_2

    Chapter 240: Chapter 233 ¨C Cultivation Technique_2


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Mobai tapped the spirit stones in his storage bag, and after subtracting the ones needed for cultivating the Triple Yang Body, he was left with 5 intermediate-grade spirit stones and 107 lower-grade spirit stones.


    Indeed, his next step would need to involve earning more spirit stones apart from cultivation.


    Or should he cultivate the Condensing Tree Seed Method?


    After careful consideration, Chen Mobai shook his head.


    After the Foundation Establishment, his first goal would undoubtedly be to enhance his realm.


    Next, he would devote his main efforts to farming. After all, he couldn¡¯t let the sixty acres of Spirit Field in Xiao Nanshan go to waste.


    Moreover, the Eternal Life Sutra also mentioned that when cultivating this technique, if coupled with farming or spirit plants, an associated phenomena would occur, where the two would promote each other, making the work half as hard for twice the result.


    If there is any energy left after farming, Chen Mobai decided to work hard on improving his Sword Dao Realm.


    After all, his current persona is that of an unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius. He should strive just in case this persona becomes a reality.


    After Sword Dao, there is the Puppetry Technique.


    Although Che Yucheng said that it¡¯s enough to just pass down the technique, since Chen Mobai has become a disciple, he felt that he couldn¡¯t let his teacher down.


    Aside from these, there was also the making of talismans and brewing wine to earn spirit stones.


    After all, everything is incomplete without spirit stones.


    Cultivation, farming, Sword Dao, puppetry, talisman making¡­


    Having managed the accounts, he felt fortunate that he had successfully established his foundation. With the life span of four centuries plus the life span added by the Eternal Life Sutra for a century, he had at least three hundred years of life.


    Otherwise, with such distractions, it would be unlikely for him to cultivate both techniques to Perfection at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Above the Eternal Life Sutra, besides the strongest Heavenly Wood Divine Light, there were also defensive techniques such as the ¡°Spirit Leaf Technique¡±, ¡°Life Technique¡±, and offensive techniques like ¡°Yi Wood Divine Thunder¡±, ¡°Sky Rotation Wooden Arrow¡±, ¡°Boundless Falling Wood¡±, ¡°Divine Wood Sword Slash¡±, ¡°Alpha Wood Soldier¡± and so on.


    Without exception, these spells could be incorporated into the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, where their power could be increased when used in conjunction with the formation.


    He still needs to find ways to get a tree seed.


    After Chen Mobai finished reading the Eternal Life Sutra, he couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    If he couldn¡¯t afford to buy rank-2, then he would go for a rank-1 Red Sun Tree Seed first.


    He took out a Message Talisman, wrote a few lines, and then sent it to Liu Wenbo.


    He didn¡¯t want to waste this bit of time. Since his disciple happened to be outside on business, he might as well take care of this at the same time.


    At this moment, he felt that taking a disciple seemed to be a really good idea.


    Next, he opened up the ¡°Red Flame Sword Jue¡±.


    This Fire Attribute cultivation technique was much simpler compared to the flashy Eternal Life Sutra.


    It also requires cultivating to the fourteenth layer of perfection at the Foundation Establishment before entering Core Formation.


    Besides the realm, it contains talismans and sword techniques, which are interrelated.


    After the ¡°Red Flame Sword Talisman¡±, there is the intermediate-grade rank-2 ¡°Purple Fire Sword Talisman¡±, and the top-grade rank-2 ¡°Green Flame Sword Talisman¡±.


    Among them, if the ¡°Green Flame Sword Talisman¡± is cultivated to the extreme, it can possess the power of a rank-3 lower-grade talisman.


    Above that, there are the intermediate-grade rank-3 ¡°Golden Flame Sword Talisman¡± and the top-grade rank-3 ¡°Great Sun Sword Talisman¡±.


    However, these two talismans are written in the Core Formation Section, and only their names are in the Foundation Establishment Section that Chen Mobai has.


    The Foundation Establishment Section of Red Flame Sword Jue also records the two Sword Cultivation Realms following Sword Light like a Rainbow, which are ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡± and ¡°Sword Light Solidifying Demons¡±.


    Red Flame Sword Rainbow, Purple Fire Sword Light, Green Flames Sword Slaughter!


    The steps for upgrading and improving are clearly shown. One can¡¯t help but admit, the cultivation tools used for fighting in the Tianhe Realm were so well organized that even Chen Mobai found them impressive.


    The cultivators here put basically all of their energy into this aspect.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivated Pure Yang Spiritual Power has all the characteristics of fire attribute Spiritual Power, hence he could easily use Pure Yang Spiritual Power to operate all talisman techniques and sword techniques of the Red Flame Sword Jue, even possibly with greater power.


    He decided to spend some time learning this technique, at least to practice it to the Red Flame Sword Rainbow.


    After all, he is currently the unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius.


    After reading these two Divine Wood Sect cultivation techniques, Chen Mobai closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then took out a box of Mind Incense.


    This was the rank-2 Mind Incense that he bought on Xianmen Net, used for cultivating the second layer of Divine Manipulation Technique.


    He didn¡¯t know what kind of trials await him in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    It¡¯s better to practice ¡°Dividing Mind into Thoughts¡± first in case there¡¯s a fight, so he can control the Formless Puppet and launch a pincer attack.


    With two against one, he shouldn¡¯t lose under the same realm conditions!


    Because it was inconvenient to leave Xiao Nanshan during this time, Chen Mobai requested another month of leave from Che Yucheng, using the cultivation of Divine Manipulation Technique as an excuse. After Che Yucheng asked about it, he immediately approved it.


    He only had one requirement, don¡¯t fail at the end of the year.


    Regarding this, Chen Mobai had no worries at all. Because after the Foundation Establishment, his Divine Sense had already surpassed that of Qi Practitioners.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He would gain an understanding after thinking once about the related knowledge of rank-1, and although rank-2 is slightly difficult, as long as he was serious, he wouldn¡¯t have the difficult understanding situation like before, and would understand after reading it two-to-three times.


    Becuase of this, after Foundation Establishment, the teachers at the Dance Tool Dao Academy weren¡¯t so insistent on having them attend classes.


    But since credits can be exchanged for many precious things in the Taoist Academy Treasure House, many senior Foundation Establishment students would sign up for several major and elective courses each year, although they wouldn¡¯t go to classes and only appear during the final exams.


    The academy also implicitly allows this.


    After all, many teachers only possessed the Foundation Establishment realm themselves..

 Chapter 241 - Chapter 241: Chapter 233 Cultivation Technique_3

    Chapter 241: Chapter 233 Cultivation Technique_3


    Translator: 549690339


    Evening.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s two new disciples had returned.


    ¡°Master, here¡¯s the rabbit fur you asked for. I spoke with Brother Zhou from the Spirit Beasts Department. Turns out they had some in stock. They gave me a box for 10 Spirit Stones.¡±


    Liu Wenbo handed over a box made of Red Sun Wood. After Chen Mobai opened it, he found it was filled with slender, straight, white rabbit hairs that faintly shimmered with Spiritual Light.


    ¡°Well done.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt the spiritual quality of the fur and found it to be of excellent quality. It could have been cut from a Rank-2 superior-grade Mysterious Spirit Rabbit.


    ¡°We¡¯re just doing what¡¯s expected of us. Oh, I remembered that you also needed Rank-1 tree seeds. I happen to have two. Tell me if they¡¯re what you¡¯re looking for. If not, I¡¯ll purchase some more from The Divine Wood City Spirit Plant Store.¡±


    ¡°Huh, tree seeds are sold by the Spirit Plant department?¡±


    After hearing Liu Wenbo¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was surprised. But then it made sense that such things would fall under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Plant Department.


    Had he known, he would have directly asked Sun Gaochang or Lu Jun.


    ¡°Creating tree seeds requires knowledge in Spirit Plants, Talisman Making, Alchemy and Artifact Refining. Anyone in the sect can make Rank-1 tree seeds, but the making of Rank-2 Green Sun Tree Seed requires permission from the Spirit Plant Department. The quality of privately made tree seeds can¡¯t compare to those sold by the department.¡±


    After explaining this, Liu Wenbo offered a dark red lump of wood about the size of a thumb ¨C a Rank-1 Red Sun Tree Seed.


    Once Chen Mobai took hold of it and felt its vitality, he was convinced that with his spiritual power, he could grow it into a towering tree in an instant.


    ¡°Master, combining the tree seed and the Heavenly Wood Talisman can save a lot of time and spiritual power.¡±


    At this point, Liu Wenbo handed over a ¡°Heavenly Wood Talisman¡±. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but give his apprentice a mental thumbs up.


    This disciple was tactful and reliable, far more so than Zhuo Ming who was standing aside.


    ¡°Well done, Wen Bo. Here¡¯s an intermediate grade Spirit Stone for your trouble.¡±


    The quality of this Rank-1 tree seed was good. Coupled with the Heavenly Wood Talisman and the rabbit fur, the total cost came to about 100 Spirit Stones. Chen Mobai naturally wouldn¡¯t let his disciple spend this much money. He reimbursed him on the spot.


    Liu Wenbo tried to refuse, but ultimately accepted under Chen Mobai¡¯s insistence.


    ¡°Master, Sister and I discussed it. You can¡¯t be without someone attending to your needs. I haven¡¯t been home since I joined the sect two years ago. I¡¯ll go to Yun Country, while Sister remains at Xiao Nanshan.¡±


    Chen Mobai agreed with his logic and nodded in approval.


    ¡°Alright, after Wenbo departs, Zhuo Ming you will need to work hard. I¡¯m going to retreat and cultivate a new spell, you¡¯ll manage the affairs at Xiaon Nanshan.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Zhuo Ming, who finally gets a chance to shine, stepped forward with enthusiasm, answering loudly.


    Once the two departed,

    Chen Mobai set up a Rank-2 Formation obtained from the Spirit Plant Department atop the mountain before he began to cultivate the second layer of the Divine Manipulation Technique.


    Inside his Sea of Knowledge, the jade-green paulownia tree that had emerged from the successful cultivation of Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique, had now blossomed and borne fruit.


    He lit the Mind Incense, feeling a cool sensation surge into his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion through his mouth and nose.


    Chen Mobai started to apply the Diverging Divine Consciousness Technique, planning to split the jade-green Paulownia tree in two. Suddenly, there was a flash of Spiritual Light.


    He severed the root and stem of the blooming Paulownia flower atop the tree..

    The second layer of Divine Manipulation Technique, Diverging Divine Consciousness, requires one to split their own Divine Sense.


    Chen Mobai researched this topic online and, based on what cultivators described, the degree of pain was more than most humans could bear.


    It feels as if one¡¯s head was struck heavily with a stick, and even with the aid of Mind Incense, one would need a month to recover from the weakness brought about by the fracturing of one¡¯s Divine Sense.


    Even though Chen Mobai had great confidence in himself, he was still somewhat apprehensive about this unknown and severe pain.


    Thus, before he formally split his Divine Sense, he thought it¡¯d be better to perform a little experiment first.


    Splitting the Divine Consciousness Forming of the Green Paulownia Seedling into two must be painful, but plucking a bloom or fruit from it shouldn¡¯t hurt as much, right?


    As Chen Mobai thought this, his Divine Sense slightly moved and he felt as if a thin needle gently pricked his forehead, the pain was almost imperceptible.


    Then, the bloom or fruit fell from the top of the Green Paulownia Seedling and planted itself at the edge of the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    The Divine Manipulation Technique was activated, and the nurturing effects of Mind Incense began to display.


    Chen Mobai saw the flower or fruit of the Green Paulownia Seedling rapidly transform into a seed before beginning to sprout and grow one, two, three tender buds.


    This indicated that the consciousness he had divided in such a short period, had grown to a realm equivalent to the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation.


    The principal Divine Consciousness hasn¡¯t suffered any notable damage, only weakened by about ten to twenty percent.


    It remained at the Foundation Establishment level.


    Compared to what others described after practicing Divine Manipulation Technique¡ªsevere damage to elemental energy, clouded consciousness, unbearable pain¡ªhe felt like he¡¯d just done a workout and broken into a sweat.


    Although he didn¡¯t know the reason for this, Chen Mobai stopped his splitting Divine Sense and continued to observe the seedling that had grown from the fruit of the original Green Paulownia Seedling.


    Half a month later.


    Chen Mobai sat in his wooden house, facing an imageless puppet.


    Looking at oneself was a completely new experience.


    He had mastered the second layer of the Divine Manipulation Technique, ¡°Divide Mind into Thoughts¡±.


    Although he didn¡¯t know the reason, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t probe further since the outcome was positive and there was no period of weakness.


    He speculated that the blossoms and fruits of the Blue Jade Paulownia were originally Spirit Medicines used to augment Divine Sense. For instance, Fire Clearing Pill was mainly refined from this ingredient.


    Therefore, his inadvertent division of Mind into Thoughts with the fruit of the Green Paulownia Seedling had instead led to a trick to cultivate the Divine Manipulation Technique.


    Next, he just needed to nurture the new seedling that just sprouted again, and when its flowers bore fruit, he could cultivate the third layer of Divine Manipulation Technique, ¡°Merge Divinity into One¡±.


    Since he was originally at the Foundation Establishment level, and his main Divine Sense was not weakened, he only needed to devote energy to enhance the Divine Sense of the new seedling, and estimated that this could be completed within two to three years at most.


    If he took the help of some pills, he might even be able to halve the time.


    Just as he prepared to try practicing the tactic of attacking with his imageless puppet and his own body, a message token flew to his door.


    His apprentice Zhuo Ming was knocking on his door.


    Since he had said before the retreat that he was going to practice spells, Zhuo Ming wouldn¡¯t disturb him unless there was something important.


    So Chen Mobai immediately stopped practicing, took back the Divine Sense attached to the imageless puppet, stood up, and opened the formation.


    ¡°I apologize for the disturbance, Master.¡±


    ¡°No harm done, is there something you need?¡±


    ¡°Senior brother Yuan¡­ No, Uncle Master Yuan Chiye has successfully Foundation Establishment, Uncle Master E Yun sent a message and invited you to celebrate together.¡±


    That was good news. As a member of the same faction, Chen Mobai should indeed go.


    ¡°Alright, go to Small Yang Ridge and dig up the Spiritual Wine I buried last year, and come with me.¡±


    ¡°Understood, Master.¡±


    That night.


    Chen Mobai came to Divine Wood City with his disciple.


    They were still in E Yun¡¯s courtyard.


    Under the big tree at the center of the yard, the three of them sat around a small square table, drinking and making merry.


    ¡°My successful Foundation Establishment is due to Senior Brother E¡¯s Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf, unfortunately¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai arrived late, and only after hearing Yuan Chiye¡¯s explanation did he understand the reason.


    It turns out that when he was trying to solidify his Foundation Establishment into Condensing Qi into Liquid, even after being fully prepared, he could only concentrate six drops of Liquid Spiritual Power before losing strength.


    Just when he was about to fail, the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf that E Yun had given him suddenly flew up and merged into his Dantian. It released a large amount of pure Wooden Spiritual Energy, helping him complete Condensing Qi into Liquid, and then rushed into the Purple Palace, protecting Yuan Chiye¡¯s Divine Sense from wandering, completing the transition of spirit, energy, and vitality, and advancing to Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Since this ¡®Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf¡¯ shines in your hands, it shows that it is fate for you. There¡¯s no need to feel guilty. It¡¯s alright if you use it.¡±


    Although there was a bitter smile on E Yun¡¯s face, he still generously gave Yuan Chiye his opportunity from the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    There was no other choice. After Foundation Establishment, this ¡°Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf¡± seemed to be a Legal Treasure of his life, integrating with Yuan Chiye¡¯s spirit, energy, and spirit.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If E Yun forcibly takes back this Spiritual Object, it would destroy Yuan Chiye¡¯s Dao foundations.


    Even if he was reluctant, he knew how to weigh the importance of the issue.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother. I¡¯m willing to do my utmost.¡±


    For Yuan Chiye, the kindness E Yun showed him was truly great.


    If it weren¡¯t for the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf, he would not have been able to succeed in this Foundation Establishment. Although he was old enough to fight for the next batch of Foundation Building Pills refined from Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom, he would definitely not be able to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm..

    Translator: 549690339 |


    ¡°This Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf is actually so miraculous? If paired with a Foundation Building Pill, wouldn¡¯t that guarantee a successful Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought in a different direction, bringing up a key point unnoticed by E Yun and Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°I will write a report on this matter to the Sect Leader. It might even be placed in the Book Pavilion for future generations to reference,¡± E Yun said. Since everyone¡¯s chances in the Divine Tree Secret Realm vary greatly, and he seemed to be the only one who had obtained a Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf, the feasibility of his idea still required more samples for validation.


    On the side, Zhuo Ming, who was serving wine, had his eyes gleaming, absorbing everything about this Spiritual Object.


    Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf!


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that Junior Brother Niu failed to establish his foundation,¡± they talked about another True Disciple from their faction, Niu Longyuan from the Spirit Beasts Department. Despite his preparations, he was unlucky and failed to pass this threshold.


    ¡°By the way, Chen junior brother, little sister Ding came to me a few days ago. She said there was a misunderstanding with you before and wanted me to clarify it.¡±


    This Little Sister Ding was, of course, Ding Ying.


    After the sect competition, she immediately secluded herself and took the Foundation Building Pill. Regrettably, due to inadequate groundwork and lack of opportunities, she failed.


    ¡°I have long forgotten about it,¡± Chen Mobai casually shrugged off the incident that had happened earlier. With his promotion to the Foundation Establishment Realm, those little troubles had faded away.


    Moreover, there wasn¡¯t really any deep grievances between him and Ding Ying.


    In fact, it was him who had initially approached her. At that time, he was a low-ranker and it was normal for someone like her to underestimate him.


    ¡°That¡¯s good. Sister Ding heard that you¡¯re looking for materials to make Talisman Brushes. Fortunately, she had collected some wolf hairs earlier, and there were some leftovers after she made her brushes. She asked me to give them to you.¡±


    E Yun handed over a box of wolf hairs, the quality of which was even better than the Mysterious Spirit Rabbit Fur Chen Mobai had.


    Ding Ying had been the chief of the talisman-making department for many years, so whatever she saved must be of top quality.


    ¡°There¡¯s no real grudge between me and Sister Ding. As long as we clarify things, it¡¯s good. I can¡¯t take this,¡± Chen Mobai, now a Foundation Establishment cultivator, thought to display a broader perspective and he pushed back the box of wolf hairs.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, it would be better if you just accepted it. Sister Ding would feel more at ease then. She¡¯s talented, and she¡¯ll likely succeed in establishing her foundation if she gets another Foundation Building Pill next time. I can¡¯t bear to see her living in fear every day.¡±


    E Yun softly broke the ice, pointing out the issue.


    Chen Mobai understood his point and laughed bitterly, shaking his head. If he didn¡¯t accept this box of wolf hairs, Ding Ying would be stuck thinking he still held a grudge against her for mocking him in the past. As a True Disciple, the thought of having a grudge with a promising Foundation Establishment elder would definitely terrify her, making her extremely anxious.


    If she had a weak mentality, her cultivation might be ruined forever.


    ¡°Well, since Brother E Yun put it that way, I¡¯ll accept it.¡±


    Chen Mobai took E Yun¡¯s advice and accepted the wolf hairs, regarding it as settling another karma.


    Next, the three of them discussed the results of the True Disciple group who attempted the Foundation Establishment with the pills.


    Apart from Yuan Chiye, five others had succeeded in establishing their foundation, but three of them were taking the Foundation Building Pill for the second time. In other words, four people would enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    When Chen Mobai calculated the success rate excluding his and Yuan Chiye¡¯s exceptions and the three others, Hong He, Zhou Wangshen and E Yun, who had already successfully established their foundation, there were only eight successful True Disciples.


    This amounted to a success rate of just over 30% for the Foundation Establishment. It just proved the worth of the Foundation Building Pills as top-tier spiritual medicine. It was a pity the main ingredient was not abundant enough on the immortal side for pill production.


    ¡°These are records in the Book Pavilion about the Divine Tree Secret Realm. However, many senior brothers and sisters didn¡¯t want to disclose the opportunities they got, so the records are only about well-known Spiritual Objects,¡± E Yun handed two prepared scrolls to Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye when they were about to leave.


    After thanking him, they each returned to their residences in Divine Wood City.


    Chen Mobai, with Zhuo Ming, arrived at the property he had received when he reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. Despite its location in a populated area, it still contained Rank-1 high-grade spiritual energy. It was a testament to the rich Spirit Vein of Giant Tree Ridge.


    He sat in his courtyard on a reclining chair and pulled out the record of the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    The book was thicker than he expected, and contained not only the records from the Divine Wood Sect but also those from the time before the split ¡ª the Five Elements Sect¡¯s cultivators¡¯ experiences when they entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

    Having read it through, Chen Mobai found many desirable goodies such as the Azure Wood Spirit Heart which could expand the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, the defensive spirit leaf capable of blocking a Rank-3 spell attack once, and tree sap which was exceptionally beneficial for Body Forging Techniques, etc.


    The most famous among these was a branch obtained by Mo, the True Man of Golden Cliff, in the Divine Tree Secret Realm. He refined it into his lifebound Flying Sword and became the foremost Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Next was the top True Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect twenty years ago, who had eaten a ¡°Long-Life Tree Fruit¡±. After consuming it, he directly progressed from the early Foundation Establishment stage to the mid-stage, saving several decades of effort.


    Chen Mobai coveted the ¡°Long Life Tree Fruit¡± the most.


    As a disciple of the Realm Suppression Doctrine, he wondered if the ¡°Long Life Tree Fruit¡± had any side effects when used for advancing realms, because such effects were simply heaven-defying..

    Moreover, since it¡¯s possible to go from the early Foundation Establishment to the middle stage, then can one also advance from the middle stage to the late stage?!


    Or even that, proceed in one step, to the perfection of Foundation Establishment?


    The more he thought, the more he wanted it.


    Compared to this ¡°Everlife Tree Fruit¡±, all other magic artifacts seem meaningless.


    The next day.


    He visited E Yun again, inquiring about details of this ¡°Everlife Tree Fruit¡±.


    ¡°You are talking about this. I guess if you have seen the current circumstance of Brother Yue, you would not want it. Coincidentally, he is also in Divine Wood City. Let¡¯s go visit him.¡±


    E Yun didn¡¯t waste any words and took Chen Mobai directly to the courtyard next door.


    A youthful-looking youth with white hair was leisurely drinking tea on a bamboo chair. In his yard, Chen Mobai saw a variety of talisman papers, talisman ink, and some broken magic artifacts, and even a pill furnace.


    ¡°Oh, why do I have the honor of Junior Brother¡¯s visit today?¡±


    This young man, leaving aside his youthful appearance and behavior, Chen Mobai could still sense an aging aura from him.


    ¡°This is the current chief disciple of our sect, I brought him to visit you.¡±


    E Yun introduced Chen Mobai, then Yue Zutao got two chairs from inside his house, indicating them to sit.


    ¡°I know him, he¡¯s about to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm, isn¡¯t he? So you brought him here to see the consequence.¡±


    Brother Yue mocked himself a bit. His name was Yue Zutao. Although he was not even sixty years old in reality, his body was already a hundred years old in terms of biological age.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    Chen Mobai was shocked when he palpated Yue Zutao¡¯s bone age at his signal.


    ¡°The Everlife Tree Fruit, its effects are amazing, but in truth, it converts your lifespan into realm and power.¡±


    ¡°Before I took it I didn¡¯t know, I thought I had received an extraordinary opportunity. But these past twenty years, I found that not only was I unable to break through the realm, but my lifespan has been reduced by a good forty years.¡±


    ¡°To warn the junior brothers and sisters who come after, every time a new junior brother or sister is about to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm, I let them feel my bone age, advising them not to use the Everlife Tree Fruit unless absolutely necessary.¡±


    After Yue Zutao had spoken, Chen Mobai finally understood.


    This tree fruit, in addition to consuming one¡¯s lifespan, also stagnates the user¡¯s realm advancement.


    In the past twenty years, Yue Zutao had tried every means, taken countless pills, but except for a slight increase in spiritual power, he could never break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage. It was as if he was stuck at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.


    ¡°This matter had even alarmed Elder Zhou, and he took me to Back to Sky Valley for medical consultation. Master Yan said that after I had consumed the fruit which took forty years of my lifespan, it was equivalent to overnight gaining forty years of cultivation, breaking through the realm.¡±


    ¡°After that, in addition to paying forty years of lifespan, I also need to stay in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment for forty years. Only then could the bottleneck to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment be broken.¡±


    ¡°No matter what pill I take to increase my cultivation level, within the forty years after consuming the fruit, I could only at most advance to the peak of Foundation Establishment stage unless I consume a Spiritual Object of a higher grade than the Everlife Tree Fruit to break the fruit¡¯s effects.¡±

    Upon uttering this, Yue Zutao looked helpless. Divine wood was a Rank-4 spirit tree; thus, its fruit was naturally also Rank-4. It already stood at the top tier of spiritual objects in the Eastern Wasteland.


    Not to mention whether there was a Rank-5 spiritual object that could counteract the fruit¡¯s side effects, even if there was, let alone Yue Zutao, even the Divine Wood Sect might not have the resources to acquire it.


    That¡¯s why he stopped cultivating these years and was engrossed in Spirit Planting, Talisman Preparation, Pill Refining, Artifact Refining, etc.


    He achieved some success and is now the Spirit Plant Master with the highest success rate in refining Rank-2 tree seeds within the sect.


    As the three were chatting, a new visitor arrived..

    ¡°Brother E is here too, what a coincidence.¡±


    One of the men who entered the door exchanged greetings with Yue Zutao and then waved to E Yun.


    ¡°Nice to meet you, Brother Zhou.¡±


    Although he had never met him, Chen Mobai had already guessed who this grizzly bear-like young man with a hawkish nose and a tiger-like build was.


    ¡°Brother Chen, we are meeting for the first time, but I have heard much about you.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen finally greeted Chen Mobai with a smile. Pretending not to recognize him, Chen Mobai looked surprised after E Yun¡¯s introduction and got up to respond. &


    ¡°This is Wu Zeyang, who was not part of the twelve divisions, but was lucky enough to succeed in Foundation Establishment this year.¡±


    The young man who came in with Zhou Wangshen respectfully greeted the three people present one by one.


    ¡°Brother Yue, Brother E, Brother¡­ Chen.¡±


    Finally, when facing Chen Mobai, he hesitated. After all, he was a True Disciple of the same generation as Zhou Wangshen and E Yun. But thinking about the rules of Tianhe Realm, where the achiever leads, he finally called him Brother.


    ¡°You two are too kind, please sit down.¡±


    As the host, Yue Zutao prepared two more chairs, and the five of them sat in his¡­

    Brother E Yun, it¡¯s such a coincidence that you¡¯re here too.¡±


    One of the people who entered the gate greeted Yue Zutao, then greeted E Yun.


    ¡°Nice to meet you, Brother Zhou.¡±


    Although they haven¡¯t met before, Chen Mobai had already guessed who this young man with a high nose and a sturdy body was.


    ¡°Brother Chen, although this is our first meeting, I have long heard of your name.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen then laughingly greeted Chen Mobai, who pretended not to recognize him. Only after E Yun¡¯s introduction did he express surprise and greeted him back.


    ¡°This is Wu Zeyang, he is not a part of the twelve parts, but he successfully established his foundation this year.¡±


    The youth who came in with Zhou Wangshen respectfully greeted the three present one by one.


    ¡°Brother Yue, Brother E, Brother¡­ Chen.¡±


    When it came to Chen Mobai, he hesitated a bit. After all, he was a true disciple from the same batch as Zhou Wangshen and E Yun. Nonetheless, given the rules of Tianhe Realm, where the superior rank prevails, he decided to address him as a brother in the end.


    ¡°You¡¯re too kind. Please have a seat.¡±


    The host of the gathering, Yue Zutao, brought over two more chairs. The five of them sat in his cluttered yard, starting their friendly chat.


    The reason Zhou Wangshen brought Wu Zeyang here was the same. They hoped that Yue Zutao, being an experienced hand, could dissuade young disciples who wanted to choose the Longevity Technique fruit.


    ¡°Brother Chen, if you can acquire the Longevity Tree sap in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, I¡¯d be willing to exchange a thousand Spirit Stones for each drop.¡±


    As they left, Chen Mobai was still perplexed about why Zhou Wangshen had made this offer. E Yun, however, looked surprised and murmured to himself.


    ¡°It seems he has begun cultivating the ¡®Taoist Body of Longevity¡¯!¡±


    What is the Taoist Body of Longevity?¡±


    E Yun brought Chen Mobai to his court, where Yuan Chiye was already waiting. After the three sat down, he began to explain the concept of the ¡°Taoist Body of Longevity¡±.


    ¡°Our Divine Wood Sect¡¯s scripture of Immortality was actually evolved from an ancient spell, called the ¡®Technique of Long Life¡¯, that even a True Monarch had to cultivate diligently for centuries to master.¡±


    ¡°Once this Technique of Long Life is mastered, not only you can maintain your youth forever, but you also can extend your lifespan by one-third at your current realm. The higher the realm, the longer the lifespan added.¡±


    ¡°The most astonishing aspect of the Technique of Long Life is that once it is mastered, even if your head is chopped off or your heart is shattered, you will not die as long as there is a breath of elemental energy left within you. It is said that if this technique is mastered at its highest realm, one can regenerate from a drop of blood and become immortal.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye were both taken aback as they did not know this secret before.


    ¡°But what does this have to do with the Taoist Body of Longevity?¡±


    Upon hearing this, E Yun took a sip of his tea and sighed lightly.


    ¡°We, the successors, do not have the astonishing talent of the True Monarch so we are unable to practice the ¡®Technique of Long Life¡¯. Therefore, some wise predecessors split it into the ¡®Scripture of Immortality¡¯ and the ¡®Taoist Body of Longevity¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The former is for Qi Cultivation, the latter for Body Forging. Once these two are practiced to the highest realm simultaneously, one can attempt to merge them and recreate the ¡®Technique of Long Life¡¯.¡±


    ¡°However, this is just a speculation. After all, no one in our Divine Wood Sect even practiced the ¡®Scripture of Immortality¡¯ to its highest realm, let alone the more difficult ¡®Taoist Body of Longevity¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that the Scripture of Immortality has twenty realms. The highest achiever of the Divine Wood Sect, Old Ancestor Zhou, only reached the seventeenth realm.


    ¡°Does the Taoist Body of Longevity also have twenty realms?¡±


    E Yun shook his head and held up three fingers.


    ¡°The Taoist Body of Longevity is divided into three realms: Ageless, Immortal Eternal, corresponding to Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul respectively.¡±


    This was a simple and clear explanation, but Chen Mobai suspected that those who divided the Technique of Longevity probably had a deeper understanding of Qi Cultivation, but a relatively weak understanding of body forging, so they hastily divided it this way.


    ¡°The sap of the Longevity Tree is the best spiritual object to assist in the cultivation of the Taoist Body of Longevity. Wu Zeyang succeeded in building his foundation this time, Zhou Wangshen probably offered his support so that he could enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm and help him get the Longevity Tree sap.¡±                               y


    After hearing E Yun¡¯s words, Chen Mobai now fully understood.


    However, he shook his head. Although he was very fond of Spirit Stones, opportunities like the Divine Tree Secret Realm weren¡¯t to be squandered for others.


    ¡°In the Divine Tree Secret Realm, everyone can get a spiritual object under the Magic Treasure Tree. The Talent Tree and the Dao Tree depend on your own luck. Although all those who enter are sect disciples, if you meet each other, you should look after each other.¡±


    In conclusion, E Yun shared his own experiences. Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye nodded, promising that if they encountered each other inside, they would stick together.


    Time flew by quickly.


    The opening of the Divine Tree Secret Realm approached in an instant.


    On that day, Chen Mobai bid farewell to E Yun and Zhuo Ming, and he and Yuan Chiye arrived at the Shenmu Hall to wait.


    Wu Zeyang had also arrived early.


    Another newbie who had just completed his Foundation Establishment was a true disciple in the alchemy division of the previous batch named Yan Jinye, who seemed a bit carefree sister.

    It appeared that she and Wu Zeyang were on good terms. After arriving at the


    Shenmu Hall, they started talking together.


    ¡°Presumably, Brother Zhou has also asked her.¡±


    Yuan Chiye guessed, given that as an alchemist, Yan Jinye was even more likely to obtain the Longevity Tree sap.

    Chapter 246: Chapter 235: Magic Treasure Tree 2


    Translator: 549690339 ,    ¡ª


    After a while, the sect leader, Meng Hong, came with Lu Yi, the Minister of the Transmission Department. Without wasting any time, he led the way towards the back of the Shenmu Hall, towards the three divine trees that soared into the sky.


    Chen Mobai and the others followed immediately.


    Like six rays of green light, the group rose from the ground and quickly arrived at the very center of Giant Tree Ridge, right at the three Everlife Trees, after flying over Shenmu Hall.


    Meng Hong led them to one of the divine trees that would take ten men to wrap their arms around. He landed gently in front of it.


    Chen Mobai and the rest stopped as well, landing at the same time.


    ¡°After the Divine Tree Secret Realm is opened, you will see three Heaven-reaching Divine Trees. Each tree offers different opportunities. What you can gain depends on yourselves,¡± Meng Hong said and handed a wooden sword to Lu Yi next to him.


    The latter bowed, received it with both hands, looking very serious.


    ¡°Next, I will open the portal to the secret realm. Enter as soon as possible and don¡¯t waste time. Once it ends, you will appear here. The two of us old men won¡¯t wait for you. At that time, come find me at Shenmu Hall,¡± Lu Yi said. After finishing talking, he sat on the ground, held the wooden sword to his chest, muttered a spell, and initiated a ban-breaking technique.


    A pitch-black light burst from the wooden sword and landed in the empty space between the three divine trees.


    Zila! Zila!


    Like the sound of a tearing cloth, a vertical crack about two meters long appeared in the void.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    By this time, Lu Yi had already filled the wooden sword in his hand with spiritual power. He seemed to be struggling, sweat broke out on his forehead. He flung the sword in his palm, and it went straight into the void.


    Then the wooden sword jammed into the crack. With a twist and a turn, a door just large enough for a person to pass through opened in the crack.


    ¡°Quickly, the door won¡¯t be open for long.¡±


    Meng Hong urged immediately. With no hesitation, Yuan Chiye and the others turned into green light and shot towards the void. They almost collided in mid-air.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment before following Yan Jinye into the portal. Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Once all four had entered, Lu Yi immediately withdrew the wooden sword and sat on the ground, gasping for air.


    ¡°Opening the door once exhausts my spiritual power. Luckily, it only opens once every few years. Otherwise, whoever likes to be the Minister of the Transmission Department can have it.¡±


    Lu Yi grumpily threw the wooden sword to Meng Hong. The key to the secret realm was kept by the sect leader, but the task of opening the door was assigned to the Transmission Department.


    Let¡¯s go, I caught a black mud loach. You¡¯ve worked hard today, let¡¯s treat you well.¡±


    After Meng Hong took back the wooden sword, he smiled, pulled Lu Yi, the two old men left the three divine trees laughing and talking.


    ¡°I wonder what opportunities they can find inside.¡±


    The other three getting a magic treasure or spiritual object would be just about right. But that Chen Guixian, maybe he could get an extra cultivation technique.¡±


    With so many openings of the Divine Tree Secret Realm, everyone in the Divine Wood Sect had a clear understanding of the three Divine Tree¡¯s patterns.


    The Magic Treasure Tree is the baseline, the Talent Tree is up to one¡¯s aptitude.


    The Dao Tree is mysterious and difficult. As there were too few who had gained anything under this tree, or most kept their gains secret, no pattern had been discovered yet.


    After Chen Mobai crossed the portal, he only felt a moment of darkness before a sky full of green light engulfed him.


    As he opened his eyes, he found himself suspended in mid-air, hurtling straight towards the ground.


    With a swift invocation of spiritual power to perform the flying technique, he stopped his fall.


    Then he floated in the air, scanning in all directions.


    To his surprise, it was another endless forest.


    Lofty trees flourished in the mist, a sea of green as far as the eye could see. Chen Mobai landed on the ground, took a soft step, and found the soil here covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.


    He landed in front of a large tree, and found it to be a Red-sun Spirit Tree.


    Could he still be in Giant Tree Ridge?


    With this doubt in mind, Chen Mobai flew to the highest tree nearby. From its crown, he finally saw what was different.


    In the far distance, there were three divine trees reaching into the sky. Compared to the three divine trees grouped together in the center in Giant Tree Ridge, each tree here stood alone, far in the distance.


    Chen Mobai estimated the distance and found the divine tree to the east seemed closer. So he flew towards it first.


    As he was flying, he suddenly remembered something.


    How does one leave the Divine Tree Secret Realm?


    Would it be the same as with E Yun? You faint and when you wake up, you find yourself in the Giant Tree Ridge?


    The Divine Tree seemed not too far from him, but Chen Mobai had been flying for three full days and nights before he could finally see the true face of the Divine Tree.


    The bark was a dark grey, the tree¡¯s aura was imposing, and the trunk reached straight into the clouds. Looking up at it, you couldn¡¯t see the top, as if it truly reached into the heavenly palace.


    Chen Brother, what a coincidence.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai landed, Yan Jinye also flew over. She greeted him, then circled the Divine Tree, eyeing a crack in the bark. She took out a medicine hoe and started digging in.


    ¡°Junior Sister, are you trying to collect the tree juice?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked.


    Yes, it seems Brother Zhou has already talked to Brother Chen.¡±


    Yan Jinye was working as she replied, but immediately shook her head and gave up.


    Her medicine hoe could not break the spiritual light of the Divine Tree¡¯s body. Not to mention extracting tree juice, she couldn¡¯t even scrape off a piece of the bark.


    ¡°It seems this trade won¡¯t work out. Brother Chen, I¡¯ll go up first.¡±


    After saying that, Yan Jinye waved at Chen Mobai, then reached out her right hand to touch the Divine Tree and started injecting her spiritual power.


    A flash of silvery light glistened, and she suddenly disappeared.


    Chen Mobai rushed over to where she had disappeared, feeling that it was similar to the trace of a teleportation array.


    After circling the Divine Tree twice and finding no other way, he also reached out his right hand, touched the bark and injected spiritual power as described in the book.


    A familiar sensation came over him. When he opened his eyes again, he felt the howling wind and the sudden thinness of the air around him.


    Looking down, he found himself standing on a branch, seemingly at the crown of the Divine Tree.


    At the tip of the branch he was standing on, there was a green fruit the size of a fist.


    Chen Mobai looked around again and found that not only his own branch, but most of the branches at the top had a fruit of a different color.


    Based on his past experience, the opportunity he was looking for was in this fruit.


    He had a closer look and sure enough, he saw Yan Jinye who had come up before him. She was already in front of her yellow fruit, joyfully picking it.


    ¡°Brother, I¡¯ll go down first.¡±


    After getting her reward, Yan Jinye said to Chen Mobai from afar, then once again put her hand on the branch and injected her spiritual power.


    With a sparkle of silver light, she vanished from the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Chen Mobai tried his flying technique, but found himself unable to leave the branch beneath him. It seemed that there was a force forbidding flight here.


    Which meant, he could only take his own fruit.


    However, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t willing to give up. He took out a glass bead used for practicing spiritual power from his storage bag, hoping to control it to pick the fruit from the neighboring branches.


    But as soon as the glass bead left his palm, it and the spiritual power injected into it lost contact with him and fell from the high altitude.


    Chen Mobai finally gave up.


    He shook his head, picked his own green fruit, then imitated Yan Jinye to leave the top of the Magic Treasure Tree.


    When he opened his eyes again, he was standing in the same spot, his hand


    still touching the bark of the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Chen Mobai tried injecting spiritual power again, but unfortunately it seemed his spiritual power had already left a record in the Magic Treasure Tree and didn¡¯t teleport him back to the top of the tree.


    Sighing, Chen Mobai was about to leave when a thought struck him.


    Aside from his Longevity Spiritual Power, he also had Pure Yang Spiritual


    Power in his Dantian Qi Sea.


    He immediately turned back and tried again.

    With a flicker of silver light, Chen Mobai was back at the top of the Magic Treasure Tree.


    He looked at the purple fruit in front of him and fell into deep thought.


    Most of the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect practiced the Two-element


    Technique, possessing two kinds of spiritual power.


    He s probably not the first one to discover this bug, right?

 Chapter 247 - Chapter 247: Chapter 236 – Jadewood Spirit Heart, Qingyang Fire Seedl

    Chapter 247: Chapter 236 ¨C Jadewood Spirit Heart, Qingyang Fire Seedl


    Translator: 549690339


    However, upon further consideration, Chen Mobai felt that he might actually be the first.


    Because the other disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, cultivating the dual-phase technique, have already linked the two cultivation techniques together. The two distinct spiritual powers, after transformation, have each acquired their specific characteristics.


    Unlike them, he utilized a borderline method to segregate the Longevity Spiritual Power and Pure Yang Spiritual Power. In reality, it was two different spiritual powers cultivated from distinct cultivation techniques.


    After realizing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t harbor any more doubts.


    After plucking this purple fruit in front of him, he once again left the crown of the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Had it not been for the limited time in entering the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he would¡¯ve genuinely wanted to try cultivating other distinct spiritual powers to see if he could ascend again to get another fruit.


    ¡°First, let¡¯s go check out the other two Divine Trees. If there¡¯s extra time at the end, come back here to experiment.¡±


    After making up his mind, Chen Mobai then observed the other two Divine Trees.


    Having confirmed that his tree was a Magic Treasure Tree, based on the records left by the previous generations of his sect, he had already discerned the remaining two Divine Trees.


    Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai first flew towards the Talent Tree.


    The examination of the Dao Tree is far beyond something an average person could pass, generally those going there directly faint, and when they wake up, they find themselves already in Giant Tree Ridge.


    The Talent Tree and the Magic Treasure Tree are almost identical, reaching straight into the sky, the top invisible to the eye.


    However, the way to obtain destiny was slightly different than the Magic


    Treasure Tree.


    Other than injecting his spiritual power into it, Chen Mobai also dropped a drop of blood, and finally let his own Divine Sense stroll around within the


    Talent Tree.


    After injecting his essence, energy, and spirit into it, Chen Mobai sat cross-legged under the tree, waiting quietly.


    About after an incense stick¡¯s worth of time, a green light descended from the sky, falling into his Sea of Knowledge located at his brow, this was the Talent Tree¡¯s evaluation of him, as well as the destiny it bestowed upon him.


    [Practicing Wood Spirit Power, faint traces of Danless Poison in the spirit power, evaluation ¡®high-grade¡¯.]


    [Four types of mixed spiritual roots, Innate Yuan Qi more abundant than ordinary people, Fire Spirit Root being the best, suggested to switch to cultivating fire attribute cultivation technique, overall evaluation


    ¡®Lower-grade¡¯.]


    [Divine Sense surpasses ordinary Foundation Establishment stage, Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion stable, and not because stimulated growth of Divine Sense through violent means, evaluation ¡®high-grade¡¯.]


    [Overall assessment, middle high-grade talent, awarded a secret technique.] After interpreting the message in his mind, a secret technique to open the Purple Mansion Sea of Knowledge abruptly surfaced in his thoughts. It came without a name, like it was severed from an enormous classic text and directly imprinted in his mind to comprehend.


    ¡°To cultivate this secret technique, you need a Jade Wood Spirit Core¡­¡± After going through this secret technique in his mind, Chen Mobai slightly furrowed his brows.


    He opened his storage bag, and cracked open the emerald fruit that he had plucked from the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Indeed, inside was a walnut-sized jade-green gem. According to the literature he had studied before entering, this was what a ¡°Jade Wood Spirit Core¡± looked like.


    ¡°I wonder if that senior sister who obtained the spiritual object thirty years ago got this secret technique.¡±


    Amidst his mumbling, Chen Mobai stored the Jade Wood Spirit Core in a jade vial, then took out the purple fruit.


    However, while opening it, he was caught off-guard and his right hand¡¯s skin got burnt.


    A strand of purple flames was seen burning in mid-air, giving off an astonishing heat.


    You should know that Chen Mobai has already established his foundation, his flesh body having undergone metamorphosis, ordinary flames simply cannot burn the spiritual light of his body.


    That this purple flame could cause him harm, meant that it was already at the minimum, over a thousand degrees.


    ¡°Could this be¡­¡±


    Upon seeing the purple flames, Chen Mobai already had a guess growing in his heart. Then he pressed his burnt hand against the Talent Tree, repeating the steps he had just taken.


    However, this time the injected spiritual power was changed to Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    The previously used Longevity Spiritual Power had traces of poison due to ingesting the Foundation Building Pill. As there wasn¡¯t enough time, the poison had not yet been eliminated. However, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power was different.


    It had been earnestly cultivated without ever ingesting a pill to increase its strength.


    As predicted, the first evaluation regarding spiritual power instantly skyrocketed this time.


    [Practices Fire Spiritual Power, extremely pure with no Danless Poison, a deep foundation, evaluation ¡®Immortal-grade¡¯.]


    [Four types of mixed spiritual roots, Innate Yuan Qi more abundant than ordinary people, Fire Spirit Root being the best, matching with the cultivating technique, overall evaluation ¡®intermediate grade¡¯.] [Divine Sense surpasses ordinary Foundation Establishment stage, Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion stable, and not stimulated growth of Divine Sense through violent means, evaluation ¡®high-grade¡¯.] [Overall assessment, high-grade talent, awarded a set of secret techniques.] Another green light descended again, infusing into Chen Mobai¡¯s brow, the Sea of Knowledge. This time, however, the information he received was slightly massive, and it took him a while to process everything.


    The secret technique he received this time finally had a name, known as ¡°Pure Qingyang Jue¡±, a spell that could continuously enhance the power and grade of the fire seeds.

    It was through this that Chen Mobai realized the purple fruit he obtained from the Magic Treasure Tree contained the seed of the Qingyang Fire.


    However, this seed has not yet matured. Only when the purple flame transforms into a green flame, will it truly become the near Rank-3 power ¡°Qingyang Fire¡±.


    The ¡°Pure Qingyang Jue¡± is a set of secret techniques that could promote the purple fire seed to a complete ¡°Qingyang Fire¡±.


    ¡°This Talent Tree is quite intelligent.¡±


    Chen Mobai, after reading the two secret techniques, murmured to himself..

 Chapter 248 - Chapter 248: Chapter 236: Jade Wood Spirit Heart,

    Chapter 248: Chapter 236: Jade Wood Spirit Heart,


    Qingyang Fire Seed_2


    Translator: 549690339


    From the Talent Tree, he withdrew his burnt hand, then employed the Extinguishing method from the Pure Qing Charm to seal the Qingyang Fire Seeds anew, storing them in his bag.


    Just as he was about to stand up and leave, Chen Mobai hesitated a bit.


    Checking the time, he felt that he could make it to the Dao Tree on time, so he sat back down again.


    From beneath the layers of his storage bag, he pulled out a Wood Spirit Talisman that he had shelved, assuming he would never use it in his lifetime.


    Wood Spirit Talisman!


    Once activated, Chen Mobai could transform into a Heavenly Spiritual Root within an hour.


    Just as he was about to try again, he suddenly furrowed his brow and looked towards the eastern sky.


    He could sense a spiritual light approaching, causing fluctuations in the surrounding elemental energies.


    Not wanting to risk exposure by continuing with the Wood Spirit Talisman, Chen Mobai put away the talisman and waited for about a quarter of an hour until a familiar spiritual light descended from the sky.


    ¡°Eh, Brother Chen is even faster than me.¡±


    The person who arrived was none other than Yan Jinye. Although she left the Magic Treasure Tree earlier than Chen Mobai, her spiritual power was not as profound as his and she was delayed along the way, so she arrived later.


    ¡°Junior sister, have you encountered the other two?¡±


    Chen Mobai stood there with a relaxed smile.


    Since only the four of them were in this Secret Realm, each with their own fortune, there was no need for them to compete with each other, so everyone was quite generous.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t run into them on the road, they should have gone to the Dao Tree first.¡±


    Yan Jinye gave an honest answer. She noticed Chen Mobai¡¯s burned right hand and couldn¡¯t help but show a surprised expression on her face.


    ¡°I obtained the Qingyang Fire Seed from the Magic Treasure Tree. I got like this because I was careless when opening it.¡±


    The Qingyang Fire Seed could be combined with the Red Flame Sword Jue to greatly enhance its power. It would certainly not be possible to hide it in the future, and every single flame seed born from the spontaneous combustion of the Qingyang Spirit Tree in the Giant Tree Ridge is recorded, which Chen Mobai could not afford to buy.


    He decided to simply inform the sect that he had obtained a strand of Qingyang Fire Seed in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°Brother is truly fortunate.¡±


    Hearing this, Yan Jinye looked at him with a face full of envy. This Qingyang Fire Seed was worth at least ten thousand Spirit Stones.


    ¡°May I ask what fortune the junior sister has come across?¡±


    Chen Mobai ventured to ask a question, but Yan Jinye only smiled faintly without answering. The former didn¡¯t continue to press the matter and tactfully bid her farewell and left.


    Only after she confirmed that this Sword Cultivation Genius, who along with Hong He was known as the Twin Pearls of the sect, had left, did Yan Jinye let out a sigh of relief.


    She had come across a rather tricky spiritual object.


    It was because she had opened the fruit halfway and was shocked by what she saw inside that she had been delayed on the road for quite some time.


    ¡°Sigh, I don¡¯t know if this is a blessing or curse.¡±


    After sighing, Yan Jinye reached out to touch the Talent Tree.


    After a long while, she stood up and flew towards the location of the Dao Tree.


    Initially, Chen Mobai had planned to return to the Talent Tree after half a day, use the Wood Spirit Talisman to transform himself into a Heavenly Spiritual Root, and then try to exploit another bug to gain two secret techniques.


    However, he later thought that the secret techniques given by the Talent Tree seemed to complement the fruits gained from the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Since he had gained corresponding secret techniques for both Bi Mu Ling Heart and Qingyang Fire Seed, it would be a waste to use the Wood Spirit Talisman without having any corresponding spiritual objects, even if his spiritual root underwent a qualitative change and he gained more secret techniques through another attempt.


    Moreover, should he be noticed by Yan Jinye when he hastily returned, wouldn¡¯t she suspect that he was up to something?


    After weighing the options, Chen Mobai decided to head towards the Dao Tree first.


    As long as he didn¡¯t demand too much from the Dao Tree and didn¡¯t pass out, he should have time to make another trip to the Talent Tree and try again.


    Having settled his thoughts, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate any longer and flew towards the last Divine Tree at maximum speed.


    When Yan Jinye landed, there was no one by the Dao Tree.


    She hesitated a moment before heading towards this last and most mysterious Divine Tree.


    One step, two steps, three steps¡­


    Her consciousness began to feel an inexplicable pressure, as if she had been laden with a thousand pounds. Her consciousness grew fuzzy, her eyelids drooping slightly as an overwhelming fatigue surged in her heart.


    Finally, as she took the fifth step towards the Dao Tree, she lost all consciousness and collapsed on the spot.


    Afterward, a flicker of silver light appeared, and she completely disappeared from the spot.


    Probably around two days later, Yuan Chiye and Wu Zeyang also descended.


    They glanced at the Dao tree, nodded simultaneously, and headed towards the immense trunk.


    Yuan Chiye also fell unconscious on his fifth step, Wu Zeyang stepped onto the sixth step, but he only lasted one step longer before collapsing.


    Witnessing the disappearance of all three people, a puppet jumped down from a nearby tree.


    It was the Faceless Puppet controlled by Chen Mobai.


    The cultivators of the Tianhe Realm were always cautious. If Chen Mobai himself was peeping nearby, they could possibly reveal him.


    However, a puppet with no life heartbeat, especially a Faceless Puppet made using techniques from the immortal realm, went completely undetected by the three when Chen Mobai put his Divine Sense into it.


    ¡°Probably need to take thirteen steps to reach the Dao tree¡¯s body.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s real body flew over, estimating the range of the Dao Tree¡¯s unconscious-inducing field.


    According to E Yun, he had taken seven steps, and Zhou Wangshen had taken seven and a half. And before the two of them fainted, they saw that Hong He had taken the ninth step.


    It¡¯s just not known what the judging standard of this Dao Tree is, to what extent one has to reach, in order to gain related opportunities.


    Chen Mobai took out his mobile, first checking the spiritual energy value in the area.


    Upon discovering it was not very high, only a Rank-2 Spirit Vein.


    However, he guessed this might be because most of the Spirit Energy in the Secret Realm was suppressed by the three Divine Trees.


    ¡°I¡¯ll test it again with the Faceless Puppet.¡±


    Chen Mobai murmured to himself. Earlier, he himself tried to approach it, but by the fourth step, he already felt like he couldn¡¯t endure anymore.


    Knowing that if he took one more step, he might faint. He directly had the Faceless Puppet, which was outside the Dao Tree¡¯s range, drag him out when his body was numb and unable to move.


    Then he found a place to recover, only to see Yan Jinye flying over.


    He used his remaining energy to control the Faceless Puppet to observe, wanting to see if they could obtain the Dao Tree¡¯s opportunities while he recovered.


    Unfortunately, the test of this Divine Tree was somewhat harsh, no one was favored by it.


    He used a portion of his divided mind to control the puppet to cross himself, and stepped into the Dao Tree¡¯s range.


    Instantly, a bizarre, inexplicable touch emerged on his divine sense. He barely managed to resist its collapse and lose control.


    ¡°Activate Spiritual Barrier.¡±


    However, this puppet was Che Yucheng¡¯s peak work, naturally had means to resist a Divine Sense Attack, Chen Mobai directly activated all these functional parts.


    An invisible layer suddenly appeared on the puppet¡¯s head, wrapping the divine sense where Chen Mobai¡¯s consciousness was attached.


    In an instant, he felt an immense relief, as if a burden had been removed, leaving him feeling invigorated and refreshed.


    Delighted, Chen Mobai maneuvered the Faceless Puppet to take another step forward.


    The transparent spiritual barrier slightly distorted, but remained intact.


    Two steps, three steps¡­ all the way to the seventh step, the spiritual barrier started to show signs of strain and began to deform violently.


    Chen Mobai had a feeling that if he took one more step, the spiritual barrier would shatter.


    However, in order to save the spiritual energy from high-quality Spirit Stones, he had been operating the Faceless Puppet at minimum efficiency. Now, for the opportunities from the Dao Tree, he didn¡¯t care about the consumption of Spirit Stones.


    He glanced at the spiritual energy progress bar at the top right corner of the screen, which displayed the number sixty-seven percent.


    That represented the amount of unused spiritual energy within the high-quality Spirit Stone.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Although the progress bar was not full, Chen Mobai knew that this corresponded to 67 intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, which was a considerable amount of Spiritual Energy for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    ¡°Full power consumption, activate the Spiritual Barrier!¡±


    After transmitting the command, Chen Mobai saw the previously 67% Spiritual Energy bar instantly decreased by 2%, dropping down to 65%.


    However, the effect was indeed amazing. The spiritual barrier that was about to shatter was restored to normal, and he managed to take another two steps forward.


    Then, the tenth step was taken!

 Chapter 249 - Chapter 249: Chapter 23-37 Sword Rainbow Fission_l

    Chapter 249: Chapter 23-37 Sword Rainbow Fission_l


    Translator: 549690339 |


    With a ¡°boom!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense was shocked as he took his tenth step.


    It felt as if the Spiritual Barrier of the Formless Puppet had been battered by a ferocious storm, constantly distorting and transforming, as if it would shatter at any moment.


    However, under the steady supply of spiritual energy from the high-grade


    Spirit Stone, it managed to hold on.


    Chen Mobai wanted to push further, but he saw a yellow warning coming from the Formless Puppet.


    This meant that the restriction on the Spiritual Barrier had reached the warning range. Although it wasn¡¯t at the shattering red stage yet, it symbolized that it was close to the critical point.


    Chen Mobai waited for two seconds, but the Pathway Tree, which was right at his fingertips, remained unresponsive.


    Could it not respond even after ten steps?


    Standing on the periphery, Chen Mobai looked disappointed. However, he didn¡¯t plan on risking further damage to the Formless Puppet and started to manipulate the puppet to retreat.


    However, just as he took a step back, the Pathway Tree, which had been as silent as a mountain before, began to emit a faint green glow.


    Just as Chen Mobai was at a loss, a piece of green leaf fell and blended into the Formless Puppet.


    The divine sense within Chen Mobai, who was attached to the puppet, immediately came into contact with a vast and imposing heavy thought. It felt like his vision blackened, and he almost passed out.


    [Ten steps taken before the Pathway Tree. Result: High-grade. You have qualified for the status of True Disciple in the Immortal Dao Sect.] [True Disciples are bestowed with a higher realm of Grand Spells, please choose the Grand Spell you wish to comprehend.]


    Upon hearing this, only one thought crossed Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    Why won¡¯t you tell me how to choose?


    Seemingly sensing his thoughts, another piece of information surfaced in his mind.


    [You may directly cast a Defensive Great Technique, or you may launch an


    Attack Great Technique at the main body of the Pathway Tree.]


    At this moment, Chen Mobai noticed that the yellow warning on the Formless Puppet¡¯s Spiritual Barrier screen had suddenly escalated to red. Knowing that he couldn¡¯t waste any more time, and that the puppet had no choice, he raised his right hand and formed it into a sword gesture.


    The red Sword Rainbow began to condense. A spark of flame burst out and then exploded completely, enveloping the sky with dazzling radiance before falling onto the body of the Pathway Tree right in front of him.


    It was only then that Chen Mobai noticed the numerous traces of sword slashes and even imprints of fists and claws on the bark of the Divine Tree close at hand.


    The newest one was a fingertip mark.


    With a ¡°hiss¡±!


    His Red Flame Sword Rainbow left a faintly charred mark on the Pathway Tree, like a rain of laser swords.


    It seemed a bit too weak.


    But he had no choice. This was already the strongest attack Chen Mobai could muster.


    If his main body were here, it wouldn¡¯t even match up to the capabilities of this Formless Puppet.


    Chen Mobai unleashed a slash. He felt the Spiritual Barrier shatter. As he prepared to retreat, feedback from the Pathway Tree was received. [Among the twenty-four Grand Spells of the Immortal Dao Sect, there is no such Sword Qi.]


    What did that mean?


    Did I take these ten steps for nothing?


    just when Chen Mobai was feeling a little frustrated and the Formless Puppet was about to retreat, another piece of information finally came from the


    Pathway Tree.


    [Bestowing upon you the realm of ¡®Sword Rainbow Fission¡¯!]


    Afterward, the green leaf that had integrated into Chen Mobai¡¯s puppet¡¯s Divine Sense suddenly radiated infinite brightness. It instantly burned into a Purple Fire Sword Talisman and blended into it.


    Linked through their divine senses, Chen Mobai¡¯s main body, who was watching the show from the outside, also let out a scream at the same time.


    He felt as if his Jade Plane Tree, which had formed from his Divine Sense, was being scorched by flames. This caused Chen Mobai, who was already unable to tolerate pain and had to be very careful with his Dividing Mind into Thoughts, to fall unconscious due to the intense burning sensation.


    [The Avenue of Immortal Dao has ended. Disciple, return.]


    Before losing consciousness, Chen Mobai heard the final message from the Pathway Tree.


    Silver-white radiance began to flicker around him, the power of space fluctuated, ready to transport him back to the Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Beep Beep Beep¡±!


    At this moment, the Turtle Treasure, which had been silent after being integrated into the phone, suddenly started sending pop-up notifications. The piercing sound was even audible to the unconscious Chen Mobai.


    In his dazed consciousness, Chen Mobai just wanted to shut off the annoying phone alert.


    [Detected that the host is crossing the embryonic membrane of heaven and earth and leaving this world. Do you need to anchor this new world for future transportation?]


    Then, the words of the Turtle Treasure made Chen Mobai, who was unconscious, instantly sober. He mustered a little strength.


    Amid the intense pain of being scorched by flames, he forced his divine sense to become excited and issued the ¡°Yes¡± command.


    After that, he could no longer hold on and fell into unconsciousness once more. When Chen Mobai woke up, it was already ten days later.


    He was lying in a room in the Shenmu Hall.


    ¡°Senior Brother is awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?¡±


    The one speaking was Yan Jinye. As a true disciple of the Alchemy Department, she had some achievements in medical skills. After the grandmaster confirmed that Chen Mobai had no life-threatening conditions, she, as his junior, was left behind to take care of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister. My consciousness is a bit muddled, but overall, I¡¯m fine.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Having just woken up, Chen Mobai was a bit confused and replied cautiously.


    ¡°That¡¯s good. I¡¯ll go notify the Sect Leader.¡±


    Yan Jinye breathed a sigh of relief and then turned and left.


    Shortly after, Meng Hong, along with a skinny middle-aged man with a clear and thin face and a goatee, came in.


    ¡°Hmm, his vitality is robust, and his spiritual power is steady. Judging by his pulse, he seems to have fully recovered..¡±

 Chapter 250 - Chapter 250: Chapter 23: Sword Rainbow Fission_2

    Chapter 250: Chapter 23: Sword Rainbow Fission_2


    Translator: 549690339 |


    The middle-aged man was Master Zeng from the Alchemy Department, the one who had concocted the Foundation Establishment Pill for Chen Mobar which was derived from demonic beasts. He was also the master of Yan Jinye.


    ¡°Boy, you must have gained something from the Divine Tree, these three fellows merely fainted for a day, then woke up on their own, and came to report to the Shenmu Hall. But you, you fainted for a whole of ten days, almost at par with Hong He.¡±


    Meng Hong pointed to Yan Jinye and said, making the latter lower her head in


    shame.


    ¡°Indeed, I gained something.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, thinking it was better to preserve his genius image. After all, at this point, he was regarded as one of the twin marvels of the Divine Wood Sect, together with Hong He.


    Hong He might have also taken ten steps, that imprint should be his.


    Since the two are equally renowned, Chen Mobai naturally can¡¯t hide his


    capabilities.


    ¡°How many steps did you take?¡±


    upon hearing this, Meng Hong, who was initially calm, couldn¡¯t help but rush to Chen Mobai¡¯s bedside, asking in an excited manner, which greatly surprised the latter.


    Did he perhaps overstate his achievements?


    -Only up to the tenth step, it¡¯s regrettable that I couldn¡¯t touch the Divine Tree.¡± But there was nothing he could do, having already spoken, he had to continue and play along.


    Everyone in the room gasped in astonishment.


    Even Master Zeng, who had been cold-faced since he came in, showed an astonished expression upon hearing that Chen Mobai had taken ten steps in front of the Divine Tree.


    During the time before the Five Elements Sect was divided, he too had entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm but could only take six steps in front of the Divine Tree.


    It was precisely because he had experienced it that he knew how hard it was to


    take ten steps.


    This was not as simple as one plus one but a huge disparity of many folds, even tenfold.


    No doubt, this man is truly a Sword Cultivation Genius!


    Only this kind of person with a sword heart made of iron could resist such a terrifying Divine Sense Attack that resembled a raging storm.


    This little guy might even be more talented than Hong He.


    Seeing the astonished gazes of Meng Hong and Master Zeng, Chen Mobai felt he might have bragged a bit too much.


    However, at this point, he had no choice but to keep up the facade.


    ¡°Chen senior brother, you are truly formidable!


    Yan Jinye looked at the handsome young man lying on the sickbed with a slightly pale face, full of admiration.


    She felt that even if this person was seriously injured and could only lift a finger, he could easily annihilate a mediocrity like her.


    Because she had just experienced the Divine Tree¡¯s test, the terrifying pressure that was like the dark clouds covering the sky, omnipresent, yet inescapable, was still fresh in her mind.


    Compared to Meng Hong and Zeng Woyou who could only rely on their memories, she was more familiar with the difficulty and pain right now.


    ¡°You are the first True Disciple since our sect was divided from the Five Elements Sect, to take ten steps toward the Divine Tree. Can you share in detail?¡±


    Meng Hong asked Chen Mobai solemnly.


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt dizzy.


    Why was he the first?


    Is Hong He so incompetent that he couldn¡¯t take ten steps?


    Originally, when he heard from figures like E Yun and Zhou Wangshen highly regarded Hong He, and Meng Hong mentioned that he and Hong He had similarly fainted for about the same duration, he had thought that this person had also taken ten steps. He was even considering that Hong He was indeed worthy of being called the twin marvels of the Divine Wood Sect with him, a sword cultivation genius.


    Who knew he had been deceived.


    If it weren¡¯t for the gains he last obtained from the Divine Tree, he probably could have had his persona collapse today.


    ¡°This should have been my extraordinary fortune, even within the sect, I don¡¯t want to leave any traces.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Hong understood what he was implying.


    ¡°Rest assured, your gains from the Divine Tree will only be shared orally within the transfer department and won¡¯t be recorded as text in the Book Pavilion.¡± ¡°Moreover, regardless of whether this fortune is useful to our Divine Wood Sect, I, as the sect leader, will privately compensate you with a Rank-2 Magic


    Artifact.¡±


    ¡°Master Zeng is a direct disciple of elder Zhou, this matter needs to be reported to him when Elder Zhou comes out.¡±


    Upon hearing these three sentences, Chen Mobai knew that even if he had decided not to disclose his gains in front of the Divine Tree, it probably wouldn¡¯t have worked out.


    Elder Zhou was involved after all.


    Since that was the case, Chen Mobai began to use his imagination, combined with the characters he liked from the TV shows he had watched, promptly made up an improvisational story which was half real, half fake, yet it left Meng Hong and the others startled.


    ¡°I took the tenth step, but realized that even with my talent, I could just stop here, not daring to cross the line.¡±


    ¡°However, as a Sword Cultivator, we would rather break than bend, even knowing that I might die if I take the eleventh step, I remained fearless. I took the next step and also swung the most brilliant sword of my life towards the


    Divine Tree.¡±


    -Once this sword was swung, I felt as if I had shattered into pieces and fell into a long sleep. I don¡¯t know for how long, but when I woke up in the darkness, I saw an extremely tall figure.¡±


    -This person was facing away from the world, had hair as black as ink, and held a Rotten Wood Sword in his right hand.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°He spoke a sentence and swung a sword.¡±


    -With that sword, space shattered, even the Dao was slashed away, but finally, a new world was born, I guess it was the origin of the Divine Tree Secret


    Realm.¡±


    ¡°After opening the world with one sword, he asked if I saw it clearly.


    ¡°I shook my head, he sighed, then slowly disappeared. Later, I woke up and as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Yin junior sister..

 Chapter 251 - Chapter 251: Chapter 23-37 Sword Rainbow Fission 3

    Chapter 251: Chapter 23-37 Sword Rainbow Fission 3


    Translator: 549690339 |


    After hearing what Chen Mobai said, Meng Hong and his two comrades were astounded beyond words.


    Given their knowledge and experiences, they truly couldn¡¯t conceive of the majestic being described by Chen Mobai. It had completely surpassed anything written in the ancient texts, even the celestial beings in myths and folklore.


    Remember that even the True Monarch who achieved ascendance, his greatest feat was to shatter the Yunmeng River, transforming it into thousands of water ponds.


    But the power to destroy continents, in the eyes of Meng Hong and his companions, was already the pinnacle of power.


    The supreme being Chen Mobai described, capable of creating a world with a single sword stroke, could likely only be paralleled by the Mother of Water, a primal force at the creation of the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Did that honorable being leave a Taoist name?¡±


    Meng Hong asked, cautiously.


    ¡°Of course, he did. Just before he swung his sword, he said: ¡®I am the Blue Emperor. Here, I manifest the Sword of Everlife. Whoever masters this sword may be considered my disciple.¡±


    Listening to these words, Meng Hong and Zeng Woyou exchanged a glance, their expressions turning even more solemn.


    The Divine Tree Secret Realm is a vestige left behind by the great ancient faction, the Everlife Sect. According to the legend, the origins of the Everlife Sect are so ancient, they¡¯re traced back to the time when the Mother of Water created the continents and oceans. It seems that this lineage belongs to the Blue Emperor.


    ¡°Are there any more?¡±


    Seeing Meng Hong and his comrades¡¯ hopeful gaze, Chen Mobai could only shake his head.


    He had already woven a tale involving the creation of the world, going any further would delve into the primal chaos and the formation of the elements.


    ¡°How unfortunate that you didn¡¯t master the Sword of Everlife. If you had, you might have gained the full approval of the Divine Tree Secret Realm, which could potentially grant you free access and control over all its resources.¡±


    As Meng Hong sighed in regret, Chen Mobai was stirred.


    He remembered the notification Turtle Treasure had sent just before he passed out. He wondered if the anchoring had been successful.


    ¡°The Divine Tree Secret Realm¡¯s spiritual energy is passable; its Spirit Trees, Dao Tree, Magic Treasure Tree, Talent Tree could benefit new Foundation Establishment practitioners at the most. Its resources are probably no better than those in the Giant Tree Ridge.¡±


    Chen Mobai remarked tentatively.


    ¡°Only the environment of the Divine Tree Secret Realm can cultivate Everlife Wood.¡±


    Meng Hong commented, before looking at Chen Mobai keenly.


    ¡°Honghe has taken nine steps and has become the True Disciple of the Everlife Sect, gaining some benefits. Aside from seeing the Blue Emperor¡¯s Sword of Everlife, did you gain any other benefits?¡±


    Here it comes!


    Chen Mobai knew that Meng Hong, as a seasoned veteran, would not believe him unconditionally unless he saw some substantial proof.


    But it was better for them to be sceptical, it would provide the perfect opportunity to reveal his newly mastered Sword Dao Realm.


    ¡°Although I didn¡¯t grasp the Blue Emperor¡¯s Sword of Everlife, I have made ¡®minor¡¯ achievements in the Sword Dao. As a natural progression, my Sword Dao Realm has reached another level. It was a blessing in disguise.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai extended his right forefinger casually.


    Then, a trace of purple flame ignited at his fingertip, in an instant, all the unbound spiritual energies in the room were drawn away by his fingertip.


    The concentrated spiritual power then coalesced, manifesting as a rainbow-like sword rain, brimming with immense power.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    While it should have dispersed in all directions, it was firmly tethered at Chen Mobai¡¯s fingertip, turning into a transparent purple jade sword light, which resembled flowing lava.


    Seeing this, Meng Hong¡¯s visage turned serious, and he brought out a Rank-2 Spirit Leaf Talisman.


    However, the defensive talisman, which could easily deflect Rainbow Sword Qi, couldn¡¯t endure even a moment in the face of the Purple Jade Sword Light, it was cleaved in two and burned to ashes, scattering on the ground.


    ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission!¡±


    Witnessing the sight, Meng Hong and his comrades gasped in astonishment, yet again..

 Chapter 252 - Chapter 252: Chapter 238: Ceremony of Acknowledging a Master 1

    Chapter 252: Chapter 238: Ceremony of Acknowledging a Master 1


    South Mountain.


    Chen Mobai sat in front of his wooden cabin, idly tossing a wisp of purple flame in his palm.


    After demonstrating the ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡± at the Shenmu Hall, Meng Hong immediately had Zeng Woyou and Yan Jinye swear on their Dao heart that they would never divulge this matter.


    Sword Cultivators are known for their unrivalled combat prowess within their own rank, which mainly relies on the powerful single strike power after cultivating sword light.


    The first three realms of sword cultivators-Sword Training to become Gang Sword Gang Transforming Qi, and Rainbow Sword Qi-are indeed formidable but are not invincible within their rank.


    Only after cultivatation of Sword Light, harnessing all spiritual power focused into one point, can a sword cultivator truly rise above the rest.


    Rainbow Sword Qi draws multiple times more elemental energy from a single point of spiritual power, forming a sky-covering sword Qi long rainbow to suppress opponents.


    Despite its power, this attack can be defended against with a defensive magic weapon or a spirit talisman due to its lack of concentration.


    As an example, during the grand competition of the sect, the Spirit Leaf Talisman that Zhou Wangshen gave to Feng Hongxue easily blocked Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Qi Long Rainbow.


    To remedy this shortcoming, the fourth realm of sword cultivators is ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡±.


    Tying the sky-full-of sword rainbows into a string, it collects all the power and transforms into an extreme terrifying sword light. Its power is more than ten times that of the sword rainbow.


    Generally speaking, those who are able to cultivate sword light are at least mid-stage foundation sword cultivators and even then, they are considered extraordinarily talented.


    In the history of the Eastern Wilderness, it¡¯s recorded that more than 80 percent of sword cultivators who could achieve Sword Rainbow Fission were in the late foundation stage.


    Having reached this realm of sword Dao at the early foundation stage Chen Mobai was, according to the records of the Divine Wood Sect, the first one in the Eastern Wilderness to do so.


    It¡¯s precisely because of this that Meng Hong, staking his position as a sect leader, made Zeng Woyou and Yan Jinye swear a Dao heart oath after seeing the Purple Fire Sword Light.


    This is akin to drawing a divine sword, which when unsheathed must not unleash destruction lightly, and absolutely must not run the risk of exposure to opposing sects.


    After cultivating the sword light, those who can stand up to Chen Mobai are only those in the late foundation stage and a few remarkably talented individuals in the mid foundation stage.


    After Chen Mobai recovered, Meng Hong had him return to South Mountain.


    The Sect Leader only had one directive.


    Keep on practicing your sword!


    The realm of ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡±, being the starting point for a sword cultivator¡¯s peerless ability among peers, is also broad and profound Cultivating sword light is just the beginning, sword light differentiation is when one truly gains mastery.


    At Chen Mobai¡¯s current level, he can only condense a Purple Fire Sword Light, and that¡¯s only with the aid of the Qingyang Fire Seed.


    When he is capable of differentiating hundreds or thousands of sword lights, he will truly be an invincible force when pitted against individuals or a horde. Thinking of this, Chen Mobai¡¯s mind moved and he ignited the Qingyang Fire Seed in his palm, which absorbed the free spiritual energy from the peak of South Mountain, and instantly condensed into a jade-like, flowing molten sword light.


    This was the ¡°Purple Fire Sword Light¡± from Red Flame Sword Jue.


    Through the manipulation of his divine sense, a second small Purple Fire Sword Light sprouted from the top of the Purple Fire Sword Light floating in his palm, much like a branch from a tree.


    This newly differentiated sword light burst forth and landed on a rock at the peak of the mountain.


    The sword light sank into the rock, silently melting it into molten lava, scorching a large swath of green grass. This was ¡°Sword Light Differentiation¡±.


    The divine tree had empowered him with the complete understanding of this realm. With a mere thought, it was as if the practice and realization of many years came to him, and he could execute it with ease.


    It¡¯s a pity that his divine consciousness strength is not sufficient. While it¡¯s considered decent at his current level, it only allows him to differentiate a second Purple Fire Sword Light.


    Naturally, he didn¡¯t demonstrate this level at the Shenmu Hall.


    This was to maintain his persona of an unparalleled sword Dao prodigy. A few years later, he could casually use it, giving the impression it was of his own understanding.


    The main reason he fabricated the story of the Blue Emperor was for this reason.


    Firstly, it portrayed that he ascended to the realm of ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡± by observing the Blue Emperor¡¯s Immortal Sword, showcasing his authentic natural gift for sword Dao.


    To further consolidate his persona.


    Secondly¡­


    Chen Mobai took out his mobile phone and opened ¡°Turtle Treasure¡±.


    The single teleportation button that was originally there had become two.


    [Teleportation 1], [Teleportation 2].


    He named Teleportation i ¡°Tianhe Realm¡±, and Teleportation 2 ¡°Divine Wood Realm¡±.


    The Turtle Treasure was indeed amazing. Even though its master had been unconscious, it still successfully anchored the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Chen Mobai planned to develop this secret realm later when his cultivation level was high enough for him to be in control of the overall situation.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As just one person, he might not be able to fully utilize all the resources of the Divine Tree Secret Realm and may need the assistance of the sect or the Immortal Gate in the future.


    However, compared to the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai believed the Divine Wood Sect would make better partners.


    He felt that if he stayed here for a few decades, he might even become sect leader. If the two Gold Core Elders died, wouldn¡¯t he have the final say?


    Moreover, he didn¡¯t want to expose the existence of the Turtle Treasure. He wouldn¡¯t be able to fool the Immortal Gate, so it would be best to deepen his roots in Tianhe Realm first.


    Therefore, Chen Mobai laid the groundwork in the Divine Wood Sect by fabricating the story, so when the time comes, he could claim that he had comprehended the Immortal Sword and can freely enter and exit the Divine Tree Secret Realm..

 Chapter 253 - Chapter 253: Chapter 238: The Ceremony of Accepting a

    Chapter 253: Chapter 238: The Ceremony of Accepting a


    Master_2


    ¡°Master, Brother Liu is back.¡±


    At this time, Zhuo Ming called from outside the formation.


    Chen Mobai withdrew the Qingyang Fire Seed, and the Purple Fire Sword Light disappeared instantly.


    He rubbed his eyes, which were slightly sore and swollen from staring at the flames for a long time, and couldn¡¯t help but sigh that he needed to buy some eye drops.


    At the same time, an entrance was opened in the thick fog of the formation that enveloped the peak of Xiao Nanshan.


    It was a Rank-2 Cloud Mist Array acquired from the Spirit Plant Division. Besides defense, it could also gather cloud and fog from the sky. When it reached a certain level, it could transform into a Spirit Rain and moisten the earth.


    Chen Mobai placed the core of the formation on the peak of Xiao Nanshan, considering he had many secrets, and he couldn¡¯t let his disciple stumble upon some matters.


    After the Cloud Mist Array opened, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming entered with respectful expressions.


    ¡°Master, as per your expectation, I brought all the spirit plants from the Water Mansion.¡±


    While speaking, Liu Wenbo took out three jade boxes of various sizes from his storage bag.


    These are tools used in the Tianhe Realm to preserve spirit plants and medicinal herbs, capable of preserving spiritual energy for the longest time.


    Among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal in the Immortal Sect, there is also a specific division for ¡°Jade Masters¡±, which includes knowledge like jade hunting, jade nurturing, jade cutting, jade carving, jade repairing, etc. This is considered a relatively high-end profession.


    However, in the Tianhe Realm, it is simply classified under Artifact Refiners.


    Chen Mobai took a look and found that the three jade boxes were prepared with care, and even had some patterns on them.


    He first opened the long jade box, inside which were four slender bamboos, all uprooted with their branches and leaves untrimmed, taken out completely. However, the Gold edge bamboo seemed to have been drained of spiritual energy and had wilted.


    ¡°Huh, why is this?¡±


    Chen Mobai intended to use this bamboo as a pen shaft, and now in this condition, he didn¡¯t know if it could still be used.


    ¡°I beg your pardon, Master. After I plucked the Bamboo Fruit, this Gold edge bamboo wilted. I consulted with my family and learned that to harvest this Bamboo Fruit, the entire bamboo plant¡¯s spiritual energy must be drained for it to mature.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know about this, but he understood that his disciple wouldn¡¯t deceive him on such matters. He nodded his head, accepting his explanation.


    Then, he opened the smallest box, and pure Wood Spiritual Energy rushed out. Inside was a smooth and fist-sized, deep green fruit.


    This was the Bamboo Fruit.


    After Chen Mobai confirmed it, he immediately closed the box to prevent the loss of spiritual energy.


    The Bamboo Fruit, which had been nurtured for sixty years to maturity, had reached the high-quality of Rank-2. If it¡¯s sold in the market, it could sell for at least several hundreds of Spirit Stones.


    However, he already had a plan for this fruit and didn¡¯t want the Alchemists of the Tianhe Realm to waste it.


    In the Divine Tree Secret Realm, his pill was underrated due to the poison in the Longevity Spiritual Power.


    So, it¡¯s better to let Alchemists of the Immortal Sect handle it.


    Chen Mobai opened the final jade box, which was full of crimson soil and six or seven Jade Bamboo shoots peeping out, wrapped in red soil.


    ¡°Wenbo, you¡¯ve worked hard. Take these two bamboos.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave his eldest disciple two Silver-edge Bamboos from the long jade box. The latter refused at first but accepted them after some persuasion.


    ¡°Zhuo Ming, take one too.¡±


    The Rank-1 Jade Bamboo was useless to Chen Mobai, but it was a spiritual object for Zhuo Ming. After all, the bamboo leaves could be used as talisman paper, and the bamboo body could be made into a Talisman Pen Shaft.


    After thanking their Master, the two disciples were about to leave.


    ¡°In two days, I have invited a few friends to officially take you two as disciples.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming both showed delighted expressions.


    Although the three of them had already set their roles, only after the official master-disciple ceremony Chen Mobai would become their support.


    From then on, when the two of them acted outside, they could act under his name.


    ¡°Hahaha, I have to call you Uncle Master now.¡±


    Qi Rui was the first to arrive on the day of the ceremony.


    He was Chen Mobai¡¯s death-defying friend, and even though Chen Mobai is now the first of the true disciples and even a Foundation Establishment Elder, Qi Rui was still carefree and made jokes.


    ¡°In a few years, this title will have to change back. This rule isn¡¯t good.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Qi Rui showed a face full of happiness. This was him saying that Qi Rui could get the next batch of Foundation Building Pills and successfully complete Foundation Establishment in one attempt.


    ¡°This has been the rule since ancient times, and it can¡¯t be changed.¡±


    The two chatted for a while, then Xi Jing Huo arrived, and not just him, but also Qi Hou came.


    ¡°Qi Brother, it¡¯s rare to see you.¡±


    Chen Mobai personally welcomed him up the mountain.


    Qi Hou squeezed out a smile. After receiving the Foundation Building Pill, he had been in seclusion. Because of the incident in the Divine Tree Secret Realm some time ago, he forced himself into Foundation Establishment but failed.


    Seeing Chen Mobai and recalling the young man who used to need his protection when going to Cloud Dream Field for cultivation, Qi Hou couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of desolation. Now that young man was already a successful Foundation Establishment cultivator, and together with Hong He, was acclaimed as the peerless twin pride of Divine Wood Sect, Qi Hou could only address him as Uncle Master.


    ¡°Here, this is our gift.¡±


    Compared to them, Xi Jinghuo, like Qi Rui, casually handed a jade box to Chen Mobai.


    South Mountain was rather simple.


    Chen Mobai straightly set up the Master-Disciple ceremony outdoors, outside the wooden house.


    Cultivators are generally free-spirited and saw no issue in this. Xi Jinghuo and Qi Hou directly sauntered to Qi Rui¡¯s side and sat together, forming a circle.


    The next ones to arrive were E Yun, Yuan Chiye, and Yan Jinye.


    The first two were Chen Mobai¡¯s buddies, and the latter had taken care of him for a long time at Shenmu Hall. After learning about Chen Mobai¡¯s background, he sought to form a close relationship, and they had grown fond of each other over time.


    Their arrival rounded up most of the attendees.


    After all, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know many people in the sect.


    Two invitations were also sent to Yue Zutao and Sun Gaochang, but the former, who preferred staying at home, sent a Spirit Talisman through E Yun.


    Chen Mobai accepted it with thanks.


    After a while, Sun Gaochang also arrived, bringing Lu Jun and Teng Jie.


    Once everyone had arrived, Chen Mobai invited Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming to introduce themselves to the crowd.


    His two disciples were presentable, an attractive man and woman, receiving compliments from the crowd.


    Then came the Master-Disciple ceremony.


    There was no such red tape in the Divine Wood Sect. Chen Mobai sat at his designated spot, had the Master-Disciple tea presented by the two, and thus the Master-Disciple relationship was established.


    From here on, the three of them will share weal and woe.


    ¡°Master, this is the Master-Disciple gift from our Liu family¡¯s Great Elder.¡±


    After Liu Wenbo presented the tea, he gave Chen Mobai a jade box.


    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised by this gesture. Upon inspecting the contents, he found it to be a Rank-2 Magic Artifact, an arm guard covered with scales.


    ¡°Please thank the Great Elder for me.¡±


    After thinking for a moment, Chen Mobai decided to accept the Magic Artifact.


    He was aware of the Liu family, who had made a fortune by breeding Azure Blood Carps. Apart from their Great Elder, they also had a Foundation Establishment cultivator under the wings of the Five Elements Sect.


    Now, Liu Wenbo was rising rapidly within the Divine Wood Sect and was expected to become a disciple of a core lineage. The resources the family provided were growing accordingly, resulting in a particularly generous Master-Disciple gift.


    Rank-2 Magic Artifacts, especially defensive ones, were even more valuable. This arm guard could be worth thousands of Spirit Stones.


    ¡°Master, this is my Master-Disciple gift.¡±


    Zhuo Ming might not have a cultivation family supporting her like Liu Wenbo, but she also presented her cherished possession, the most valuable item she had.


    A yellowing Taoist book called the ¡°Classic of Materia Medica.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re kind-hearted.¡±


    Without checking inside, Chen Mobai accepted it with a smile.


    He knew about this disciple¡¯s wealth. This Taoist book was her heirloom. Giving it as a gift indicated the sincerity of her intention.


    ¡°Hahaha, it seems like I¡¯ve come at just the right time.¡±


    An familiar voice sounded from mid-air as the Master-Disciple ceremony was coming to an end.


    Meng Hong descended from the sky, walked over laughing merrily.


    ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader.¡±


    ¡°Get up, get up, no need for formalities.¡±


    Meng Hong signaled everyone not to come over and to make themselves comfortable. Then he took out a storage bag and handed it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Here are the things I promised you, and I added a little extra.¡±


    After handing over the items, Meng Hong took out two bottles of elixirs from his pocket and gave them to Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming. Then, without a shred of modesty, he sat down.


    ¡°Where¡¯s your wine? Little Yun told me that your brewed wine is unparalleled, just like your swordsmanship.¡±


    At these words, E Yun became a bit embarrassed.


    He wasn¡¯t keen on people knowing his nickname.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Zhuo Ming, open a jar.¡±


    Today, Chen Mobai was naturally not stingy. Zhuo Ming, who also participated in the making of the Jade Bud Spirit Wine last year, distributed each guest a jar of the pleasantly sealed miniature jars of wine.


    ¡°The wine will not run short today.¡±


    At these words, Sun Gaochang¡¯s eyes sparkled.


    That night, the guests were merry..

 Chapter 254 - Chapter 254: Chapter 239: Inventorying the Gains l

    Chapter 254: Chapter 239: Inventorying the Gains l


    After seeing off the guests, Chen Mobai sorted the gifts he had received.


    Pills or Spirit Talismans, suitable for Qi Practitioners, were the presents given by E Yun and the rest. He divided them equally between Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming.


    The former immediately tucked them into his storage bag while the latter held them in her hands.


    ¡°This is the storage bag I used to use. You can have it.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed over the storage bag he had bought from Yuan Chiye to Zhuo Ming. Besides not wanting his disciple to look too shabby, it was also because today Meng Hong had gifted him a larger storage bag.


    The space in this bag was ten cubic meters, ten times the size of the one he had previously used.


    Adhering to the principle of allocating resources where they would be of most use, he gave the replaced one to his disciple.


    ¡°Thank you, Master!¡±


    Zhuo Ming excitedly received the storage bag, something she had long coveted.


    In the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, this artifact was priced at a hundred Spirit Stones. Today, by becoming a disciple, she¡¯s harvested the most.


    ¡°How are you doing with your Cultivation Techniques?¡±


    Now that they had officially become disciples, Chen Mobai naturally had to show some concern and asked about their progress in their cultivation.


    ¡°Master, after I halted the cultivation of the Red Flame Sword Jue, as expected, there were signs of improvement in the longevity sutra. Within two years, I am hopeful of attaining the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.¡±


    Liu Wenbo talked about his progress in cultivation, with a face full of admiration.


    Originally, he felt that becoming a true disciple before the next batch of Foundation Building Pills was ready would be great. Now, it seems that he might secure his position as a true disciple three to four years earlier.


    ¡°In the next two years, besides improving the Longevity Sutra, I also plan to gradually convert the Red Flame Sword Jue into the family¡¯s secret Azure Water Cultivation. According to Master¡¯s idea, I will alternate between water and wood cultivation techniques.¡±


    Liu Wenbo still listened obediently, probably because he had also consulted with the elders of his family.


    The Liu family¡¯s inherited technique is also of water attribute, which may suggest their intent on having him inherit the family clan in the future.


    ¡°Excellent. Given your resources, plus the backing of E Yun and others, you should at least be able to wait for two batches of Foundation Building Pills to be ready. Spiritual attainment, however, depends on your future opportunities.¡±


    Between his words, Chen Mobai has already arranged the future path for this oldest disciple of his.


    Upon hearing this, even the normally composed Liu Wenbo was visibly excited.


    You have to understand that even with the Liu family¡¯s resources, they could not easily afford a Foundation Building Pill.


    It¡¯s not something that can be measured in Spirit Stones, it is a strategic resource used by the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness to contain all cultivation forces.


    But after becoming a disciple of Chen Mobai, Liu Wenbo has at least two opportunities to strive for this.


    Moreover, the first Foundation Building Pill was basically a sure thing. But whether he could get the second one depended on the attitude of the sect¡¯s upper echelons at that time.


    Even so, Liu Wenbo was already very excited.


    He had become the most likely prospect in his generation to establish a foundation with the Liu family¡¯s support.


    It is precisely because of this that the Liu family was willing to present a Rank-2 Magic Artifact, and more than that, a preciously rare defensive Magic Weapon.


    ¡°Master, I have also decided to switch to Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques.¡±


    At this time, Zhuo Ming also revealed her choice.


    She had also been practicing Earth Spiritual Energy during this period, and sure enough, compared to the difficult practice of Wood Spiritual Energy, which required extra focus to refine into her body, Earth Attribute Spiritual Energy seemed to rush eagerly into her body in great numbers.


    And although she has become a disciple under Chen Mobai, she knows that to strive for the Foundation Building Pill, her ability to duel with magic must also be improved. It is obvious that it is not possible to compete for the position of true disciple with the difficult-to-cultivate Wood Attribute Spells.


    ¡°Have you decided which cultivation technique you are switching to?¡±


    Chen Mobai was quite satisfied with his obedient disciples as compared to the unique students of his immortal sect. The cultivators here were more open to advice.


    ¡°I have read a few in the Book Pavilion, but I am not sure how to choose. Could Master please give me some advice?¡±


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai felt a bit troubled.


    In Divine Wood Sect, he had only studied the Longevity Sutra, Red Flame Sword Jue, and Two Phases Cultivation with focus. When it came to Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques, he was utterly ignorant.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Book Pavilion together tomorrow.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai was somewhat confident in his ability to appraise cultivation techniques, after all, they were not valued very highly over at the immortal sect.


    In Tianhe Realm, these secret manuals considered as treasures whereas, on Dinyuan Star, they were shared knowledge.


    Many cultivators in Divine Wood Sect could only peruse a few cultivation techniques in their lifetime. However, Chen Mobai had examined several, in addition to the influence of TV shows, films, and novels, there were at least hundreds if not thousands.


    Moreover, he could spend the night giving himself a crash course.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    Zhuo Ming and Liu Wenbo thanked him and retreated.


    Chen Mobai began to examine the large storage bag that Meng Hong had given him.


    Pouring it directly, it was accompanied by the clatter of precious stones.


    A heap of luminous jade, shimmering with spiritual light, made him squint his eyes.

    So many Spirit Stones.


    A sweep of his Divine Sense, and Chen Mobai had already counted them all.


    The Sect Leader¡¯s generosity was indeed impressive, a full hundred intermediate-grade Spirit Stones.


    Equivalent to normal units, that was ten thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    When Meng Hong left after the drink, he said that considering the value of the information on the Daoist Trees Chen Mobai had contributed, in addition to the promised Rank-2 Magic Artifact, he gave him a bit more as a reward for Chen¡¯s ¡°openness and honesty¡± and his ¡°loyalty¡± to the sect..

 Chapter 255 - Chapter 255: Chapter 239 Tallying the Harvest_2

    Chapter 255: Chapter 239 Tallying the Harvest_2


    It just so happened that Chen Mobai recently felt that he almost accomplished his cultivation of the Trithereal Body, and could now begin the next stage for the Sixthereal Body.


    The intermediate grade Spirit Stone came at just the right time.


    It would be enough to complete his cultivation of the Fourthereal and


    Fifthereal.


    And inside the storage bag, apart from the Spirit Stones, there was the Rank-2


    Magic Artifact that was mentioned at the beginning.


    However, it wasn¡¯t just one, but two pieces.


    Both were Flying Swords.


    One of them was the Divine Wood Sword that Chen Mobai was most familiar with, which was the standard Flying Sword of the Divine Wood Sect available from Rank-1 to Rank-3.


    The Flying Sword given to him was the one he had used during the sect¡¯s competition. It was perhaps because they thought he was familiar with it, so they directly called for it from the storage of the Spirit Plant Department. However, a lower-grade Rank-2 Flying Sword naturally does not suit the status and the level of the Sect Leader.


    Chen Mobai picked up a hairpin.


    This hairpin was jade green, the end carved into the shape of a sparrow showing hints of dark gold. The moment he held it, he felt a chilling Sword Qi.


    This was also a Flying Sword.


    But its grade had reached upper grade Rank-2, a proud creation of the head of the Artifact Refining Department, named ¡°Flying Sparrow Hairpin¡±.


    It was carved from a branch of Rank-3 Golden Yang Wood. It can perfectly withstand the super high temperature of the Qingyang Fire Seed. Even more so, it complements each other. If this hairpin were to stimulate Purple Fire Sword Light, its power could rise to another level.


    Chen Mobai immediately conducted some tests.


    Upon seeing the originally pure purple fire seed, when he channeled it into the Flying Sparrow Hairpin and reached the realm of the Sword Rainbow Fission, a trace of cyan emerged in the Purple Fire Sword Light.


    The color between purple and cyan indicated the thriving nature of the fire seed.


    Once the pure purple completely changed to pure cyan, it implied that ¡°Qingyang Fire¡± was accomplished. If he further cultivates ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡±, then it would mean he truly became invincible below Gold Core.


    Meng Hong had chosen this Magic Artifact for Chen Mobai with deep consideration.


    It suits him very well.


    In line with the Divine Wood Sword and the Flying Sparrow Hairpin, two corresponding Refine Treasure Techniques were also included.


    After Chen Mobai finished reading them, he directly used his Divine Sense and Spirit Qi to refine these two large and small Flying Swords.


    It was just right since his hair grew longer. He¡¯d always let it down before, but now with the hairpin, it could be styled.


    Unfortunately, he wasn¡¯t proficient in this area, and eventually ended up simply coiling up his hair and attaching the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    As for the Divine Wood Sword, he toyed with it for a while and then set it aside.


    Then, Chen Mobai took out the Green Scale Arm Guard that Liu Wenbo had gifted him.


    There was a corresponding Refine Treasure Technique for it as well, and he found this Magic Artifact extremely interesting and ingeniously designed.


    It was a Defensive Magic Weapon made from cold iron and the scales of the Rank-2 Azure Blood Carp.


    Upon infusing Spiritual Power, Chen Mobai saw the green scales on the surface of the armguard flying off like a shower of falling blossoms, forming a scale shield in front of him.


    He used his Divine Sense to strike the shield with the Divine Wood Sword, but could only leave a white mark on it.


    Even a Sword Rainbow cut only managed to shatter two or three scales, entirely unable to break through the dense scale barrier.


    The most mystic part about this scale shield was that it could continually change its shape and move its position with Divine Sense, very similar to the Water Elemental Shield, only its defense ability was vastly different.


    Chen Mobai found it very interesting, at his will, the scales on his face turned into a mask, covering the lower half of his face, making his originally handsome face look both mysterious and powerful.


    He had the scales form the shape of a skateboard, which he then stood on, discovering that it could also be used for flight.


    The Senior Elder of the Liu family, known as the top Artifact Refiner in Yun Country, truly lived up to his reputation.


    Chen Mobai really loved this Green Scale Arm Guard.


    In the Tianhe Realm, a Rank-2 Magic Artifact was valued at least a hundred Spirit Stones, with the highest quality ones even selling for several thousand Spirit Stones.


    Although the grade of this Green Scale Arm Guard was only Rank-2 lower-grade, as a defensive Magic Weapon its price could match a Rank-2 intermediate-grade Flying Sword. Additionally, with its multiple functions, it could probably sell for nearly thousand Spirit Stones in the market.


    The gift for accepting a disciple was a bit too much.


    It seemed that he had to pay more attention to his senior disciple Liu Wenbo in the future.


    Considering that he had the Divine Wood Sword and the Flying Sparrow Hairpin for attack, and the Green Scale Arm Guard for defense, along with the realm of the Sword Rainbow Fission and the Qingyang Fire Seed, Chen Mobai felt somewhat secure for the first time.


    Now that he was prepared for both offense and defense, he should be able to put up a fight against cultivators at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, right?


    Chen Mobai, who had no clear concept of his own combat power, thought so. Wearing the arm guard, it perfectly covered the part of his body that had been burnt by the Qingyang Fire Seed.


    The Wood Fire has a characteristic that prevents wound from healing, and it continually burned the body¡¯s Qi and Blood. However, his injuries had been treated by Senior Master Zeng, the negative effects of Blood Combustion were eliminated, but even so, it would still take a month for complete recovery.


    After stowing the Divine Wood Sword in the storage bag, Chen Mobai started to examine the gift from Zhuo Ming.


    Classic of Materia Medical


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This was a book of Wood Attribute Qi Cultivation Technique, which could be cultivated up to the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation. However, it did not record corresponding Spells, instead, it appended two Elixir recipes at the end.


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai knew that Zhuo Ming had indeed given him her most precious possession.


    In the Tianhe Realm, the value of Elixir recipes surpassed that of Cultivation Techniques.


    These two Elixir recipes were known as the Hundred Herb Elixir and Restoring God Soup respectively, both of which were Rank-1 Elixirs.


    The Hundred Herb Elixir was suitable for cultivators in the mid and late stage of Qi Cultivation to consume, which could enhance the efficiency of refining Spiritual Qi..

 Chapter 256 - Chapter 256: Chapter 239: Tallying Harvest s

    Chapter 256: Chapter 239: Tallying Harvest s


    The Restoring God Soup, as its name suggests, can nourish divine sense. If consumed for a long time during the mid-phase of Qi cultivation, one will sense divine sense ahead of time. Those who have already cultivated divine sense can also enhance it by taking this medicine.


    For Qi practitioners, if these two formulas can be successfully concocted, they can be considered invaluable treasures.


    Unfortunately, Zhuo Ming never thought about Alchemy in this life. She clearly remembers that her father went through years of hardship to gather the medicinal materials for the Hundred Herb Elixir. He started the concoction process himself, but the furnace just ended up in ashes.


    Even if one were to hire an Alchemist among the loose cultivators to concoct it, not only would he need to provide the formula and spirit stones, but he would also need to collect the medicinal materials himself. Moreover, the success rate isn¡¯t guaranteed, and there is a two to three percent chance that the furnace would turn into ashes.


    Given these experiences, even though Zhuo Ming knew the immense value of the Hundred Herb Elixir and Restoring God Soup, she never intended to concoct them herself.


    Chen Mobai, after a glance, didn¡¯t care either.


    As for the formulas, immortal sects always print them on the packaging box of each spiritual medicine.


    After finishing the Classic of Materia Medica, Chen Mobai finally took out the ¡°Green Wood Spirit Heart¡± he obtained in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    This spiritual object, which looked like a green gemstone, felt icy cool and comfortable in his palm. It felt so comfortable that even his burned areas seemed to heal faster.


    He recalled the cultivation technique he got from the Talent Tree to refine this ¡°Green Wood Spirit Heart¡±.


    This spiritual object has been brought back several times since the Divine Tree Secret Realm was recorded. After the Divine Wood Sect separated from the Five Elements sect, only one senior sister got it.


    After she consumed it, her Purple Palace expanded, her divine sense increased greatly, and she could even control a Rank-3 puppet. She became quite famous in the Divine Wood Sect.


    After Chen Mobai finished reading, he felt it was not very good to take the ¡°Green Wood Spirit Heart¡± directly.


    The Expansion of the Purple Palace technique states that how much one¡¯s Purple Palace can expand after consuming this spiritual object depends entirely on one¡¯s own foundation.


    If the foundation is solid and divine sense is not illusory, the Purple Palace can open more; otherwise, it opens less.


    A Foundation Establishment practitioner who can refine seven or eight percent of the power of the Green Wood Spirit Heart is considered to have a solid foundation.


    However, don¡¯t worry about wasting its power. After the Purple Palace is opened to its limit, the remaining power will also be integrated into the divine sense, enhancing the user¡¯s divine sense realm.


    But Chen Mobai felt that this was very wasteful.


    The relationship between the Purple Palace and divine sense is like a container and water.


    Divine sense is like water. No matter how much it can be increased, if the container cannot hold it, any excess is waste.


    On the contrary, if the container is expanded, even if the divine sense is weak for a while and cannot fill the container, with the accumulation over time, it will eventually be filled.


    It¡¯s easy to increase divine sense, but it requires an opportunity to enlarge the container.


    One should know that spiritual medicines to open the Purple Palace are scarce even in immortal sects, and only those above Gold Core are qualified to purchase.


    Chen Mobai thought for a while and put the Green Wood Spirit Heart into the jade box.


    I wonder if Qing Nu can concoct such an elixir?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He returned to the immortal sect, first looked for Che Yucheng to report his return, and then called Qing Nu.


    But it seemed that she was concocting elixir, so she was transferred directly.


    After sending a text message, Chen Mobai went to the library of the Dance Tool Dao Academy to search for basic information about the Earth Attribute Qi Cultivation Technique, and then returned to Xiao Nanshan.


    Before going to the Book Pavilion, he used a small number to input Zhuo Ming¡¯s spiritual root information into the National Library of the Immortal Sect to simulate it.


    After being surer, Chen Mobai opened the Cloud Mist Array and led his apprentice, who was already waiting at the door, down the mountain..

 Chapter 257 - Chapter 257: Chapter 240: Another Year_l

    Chapter 257: Chapter 240: Another Year_l


    Book Pavilion.


    Chen Mobai was sitting on the first floor, sipping tea while the disciple in charge of the pavilion, Brother Hu, was keeping him company.


    Meanwhile, Zhuo Ming had already begun selecting the cultivation technique she needed for her path transition. After hearing Zhuo Ming¡¯s requirements, Brother Hu directed her toward a section where he had meticulously arranged most of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques.


    ¡°Uncle has good judgment. You have a disciple with an inherent elegance, and she should be successful in Foundation Establishment in the future.¡±


    Brother Hu, whose name was Jinshan, poured Chen Mobai a cup of his cherished tea while watching Zhuo Ming browsing through the bookshelves in Area B. Rubbing his white beard, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh in admiration.


    ¡°Oh, is Brother Hu an expert in physiognomy?¡±


    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised. Although Zhuo Ming looked delicate, everyone who met her for the first time found her very ordinary, like a common stone or grass by the roadside.


    Her potential was average, and her cultivation level was also ordinary.


    She was quite diligent, though. She always completed any task assigned by Chen Mobai meticulously.


    Like E Yun and others, he thought that Chen Mobai only accepted her as a disciple because there were no other suitable candidates around, and they also shared the bond of being from the same hometown. So when Liu Wenbo became a disciple, Zhuo Ming was also conveniently accepted under his guidance.


    After all, Liu Wenbo was seen as the future True Inheritor they all held high expectations for. He would surely not stay with Chen Mobai for long. At that time, there will be many fertile lands in Xiao Nanshan that need someone to manage. Zhuo Ming was lucky. She was the only choice at that time.


    A countless number of Qi Cultivating disciples in the Divine Wood Sect envied her.


    From being an ordinary, low-level Qi Cultivating sixth level disciple, she leaped to the top, becoming a disciple of the Chief True Inheritor and a Foundation Building elder.


    No matter if she becomes a True Inheritor or not, after joining Xiao Nanshan, Zhuo Ming will no longer be lightly insulted or bullied by others.


    For dangerous missions such as opening up Yun Meng Ze, as long as she does not wish to, nobody can force her to go to the battlefield and fight.


    ¡°I¡¯ve reached Qi Cultivation Perfection, but I¡¯m unable to achieve Foundation Establishment. And since I¡¯ve already surpassed the critical age of sixty, there¡¯s no need to waste time on cultivation, so I naturally read various books.¡±


    ¡°Although Disciple Zhuo looks very ordinary, her features are well-proportioned. With a round forehead and moist jaw, she is endowed with a very auspicious bearing. If she hadn¡¯t embarked on the cultivation path, she would definitely have led a life of wealth and happiness in the mundane world until the end.¡±


    ¡°Others may not notice, but I can see the innate elegance hidden in her brows. And with you, at the very least, you can shelter her for two hundred years, enough for her to grow.¡±


    After listening to Hu Jinshan¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but look surprised.


    This little round face has so many interpretations? Why didn¡¯t he see them?


    If he hadn¡¯t known from the Spirit Testing Instrument that Zhuo Ming had an excellent Earth Spirit Root, he would never have thought that she could eventually reach Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°I hope Brother Hu¡¯s insights are accurate. This way, I will have a disciple to look after me in my old age.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t really want people to know about Zhuo Ming¡¯s talent. After all, she had not even cultivated her Divine Sen


    ¡°Teacher, which of these four books do you think is good?¡±


    At this time, Zhuo Ming had come down, holding four blue books and seeking Chen Mobai¡¯s opinion.


    ¡°Mother Earth Cultivation,¡± ¡°Mountain Chasing Decree,¡± ¡°Wu Earth True Method,¡± ¡°Fossil Treasure Scroll.¡±


    ¡°Brother Hu, What do you think?¡±


    As Chen Mobai began to look at these four cultivation techniques, he asked Hu Jinshan, who was seated in front of him, for his opinions.


    He had been in the Book Pavilion for decades, after all. Despite being only in the Qi Cultivating Realm, he surely knew about the various cultivation techniques and their exchange situations.


    ¡°Mountain Chasing Decree has the most practitioners. It starts with cultivating a magic artifact called Mountain Flipping Seal from the Qi Cultivating Realm. It is a magical artifact cultivating technique. It¡¯s astonishingly powerful among peers and practitioners and, if the magic artifact is cultivated well, it will accelerate the cultivator¡¯s progress. However, it consumes a lot of resources, too much for the average person to cultivate.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Wu Earth True Method is the most comprehensive. As the Earth Vein Qi Cultivating Technique of the Five Elements Sect, it¡¯s profound and extensive. In theory, once it¡¯s perfected, it can even be linked with the supreme method of the Five Elements Sect, the Primordial Dao Fruit. This is usually chosen by disciples who have some ambition and confidence in themselves.¡±


    ¡°Fossil Treasure Scroll is a Qi cultivating technique that originated from the Flying Sand Sect in the Ten Directions Hall. Although it¡¯s the most ingenious of the four techniques, the version collected by the Divine Wood Sect only includes instructions up to the Foundation Building Realm. If you choose to cultivate this, you need to consider this point carefully.¡±


    ¡°Finally, we have Mother Earth Cultivation. It¡¯s not very popular compared to the other three because it requires a secondary cultivation skill, the Spirit Plant Master. Its fighting power is average, but if you have expansive fertile fields or medicinal fields to apply the techniques, it¡¯s the fastest method to cultivate instead. Due to our numerous medicinal fields in the Divine Wood Sect, this cultivation technique has many buyers. Many of them acquire it for its knowledge and most of them primarily cultivate the Longevity Sutra.¡±


    While Hu Jinshan was explaining each technique, Chen Mobai had already gone through the four cultivation techniques and naturally had no doubts in his heart.


    But this decision concerned Zhuo Ming¡¯s lifelong path, so he still gave her a choice in the end..

 Chapter 258 - Chapter 258: Chapter 240 Another Year_2

    Chapter 258: Chapter 240 Another Year_2


    ¡°Since you have joined my school, as your master, I can promise you that as long as I¡¯m in the Divine Wood Sect, you don¡¯t need to go to battle and fight if you don¡¯t want to,¡± Chen Mobai told Zhuo Ming after finishing his sentence.


    He then pulled out the ¡°Wu Earth True Method¡± and ¡°Mother Earth Cultivation¡± and placed them on the table.


    ¡°These two cultivation techniques are whole within the sect; you need not worry about cultivation techniques before reaching the Nascent Soul Formation,¡± he said.


    ¡°If you feel that you can cultivate fully and are determined to climb to the peak of Immortal cultivation, then choose the ¡®Wu Earth True Method.¡¯


    ¡°If you decide to peacefully spend your life as my disciple, choose ¡®Mother Earth Cultivation.¡¯ I will give you the 60 acres of good farmland under Xiao Nanshan for cultivation practices,¡± he added.


    After hearing this, Zhuo Ming was stunned, her mouth open wide in surprise.


    ¡°Master, my greatest wish in life is to establish a Foundation. I don¡¯t even dare to dream of Core Formation,¡± she admitted.


    ¡°We should have dreams,¡± Chen Mobai replied, shaking his head, somewhat disappointed at the modesty of her dreams.


    Those on the immortal path, even children, dream of ascending and roaming the universe.


    ¡°Choose this one then,¡± Chen Mobai said, picking up the ¡°Mother Earth Cultivation¡± technique and using 50 spiritual stones to exchange for this Qi Cultivation technique.


    ¡°Foundation establishment elders can exchange three Qi Cultivation techniques for free each year.¡±


    Hu Jinshan laughed, pushing the spirit stones back. Chen Mobai truly didn¡¯t know about this rule.


    However, considering that there must be several Qi practitioners under the Foundation establishment elder, the Divine Wood Sect probably implemented this rule for the better development of the younger generation.


    ¡°Excluding ¡®Mountain Chasing Decree,¡¯ give me a copy of the remaining three,¡± Chen Mobai said, knowing the rule, he didn¡¯t plan to waste it. Hu Jinshan nodded, registered it, swiped the former¡¯s sect nameplate, and gave all three techniques to Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Why are you giving her these? Her realm is too low now, it¡¯s better for her concentrate,¡± he reminded her.


    Chen Mobai remembered when he was studying, wanting a good looking Qi cultivation technique, how his parents ruthlessly refused him with the same reason.


    Now he tried relishing the role of a good teacher.


    He took the ¡°Wu Earth True Method,¡± and ¡°Fossil Treasure Scroll¡± from Zhuo Ming¡¯s hands and put them into his storage bag.


    Zhuo Ming pursed her lips, not daring to counter him.


    She quickly shoved ¡°Mother Earth Cultivation¡± into her storage bag, afraid that if she was too slow, her teacher would want to teach it to her layer by layer, and confiscate everything.


    Back at Xiao Nanshan, Chen Mobai decreed that she should manage the sixty acres of farmland below the mountain and to take care of the Yuba Lingmi in the spirit fields of Small Yang Ridge.


    ¡°I am going to retreat to cultivate the ¡®Supreme Sword Dao.¡¯


    Unless it is a very important matter, even if the sect leader comes, do not disturb me.¡±


    Zhuo Ming felt both fearful and excited. She worried that she may not handle all these farmlands well, but was exhilarated at the trust her master placed in her.


    The ¡°Mother Earth Cultivation¡± required her to manage these fields. Through the process of farming and nurturing seeds, she could gather a type of spiritual power known as the ¡°Mother Qi of All Things.¡±


    ¡°Right, there¡¯s also a shop and courtyard in Divine Wood City belonging to me that you need to manage. You can start selling the spirit wine and spirit rice. The price is same as in the market. If you have troubles, ask your big senior brother,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    After leaving this statement, he returned to the mountain, activated the cloud mist array, and shut off the peak of Xiao Nanshan.


    Returning to the school of immortals, the carefree Chen Mobai had only one thought in mind.


    The feeling of being a hands-off store manager was great.


    Now that he didn¡¯t need to worry about the Divine Wood Sect, he concentrated on Dance Instruments Daoist Academy¡¯s courses. As he had already established his Foundation, his divine sense significantly exceeded that of the other Qi practitioners.


    Despite taking almost half of the year off for his Foundation establishment, he still scored almost full marks in all his subjects during the end-of-year exams.


    He came first in all six subjects ¨C two majors and four electives.


    Everyone thought it was only to be expected since he was the first one of his batch to establish his Foundation.


    Zhongli Tianyu doesn¡¯t count in their minds.


    ¡°Really envious of you. With just two months of casual studying, you can score first,¡± said the others.


    After the exams, the little circle of metaphysical class resumed their gatherings. Ming Yuhua sighed while holding a cup of wine and looking at Chen Mobai; he had thought he would be the first to establish his Foundation in their circle.


    ¡°How did you cultivate your boundary technique? We¡¯re at a loss.¡±


    Yunyang Bing and Wang Xingyu also came over. The people of their batch, after four years in the Dance Tool Dao Academy and benefiting from the abundant spiritual energy of Crimson Mountain, had basically all reached the ninth layer of Qi cultivation.


    However, due to the influence of the God Transformation Cultivation Technique, after extrapolating the formless puppet, to ensure a successful foundation establishment, they all followed the guidance of the successful Chen Mobai to grasp the boundary technique.


    But only two people had achieved success, one was Ming Yuhua and the other was named Lan Yufan.


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s the difference in innate talent.¡±


    The one who said this was Ming Yuhua. He had already felt the trick to break through the bottleneck and had applied for his own three treasures for foundation building at the end of the year. Adding a bottle of Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, he planned to rent a cultivation room in Building 9 during the holiday, waiting for the mysterious opportunity to challenge the Foundation Building Realm.


    Seeing Ming Yuhua being so provocative, the rest of the group naturally refused to admit defeat. They immediately picked up their cups and swarmed over to get him drunk.


    ¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡±


    When the party was over, Ming Yuhua coughed several times on the side of the road to get all the alcohol in his stomach out.


    ¡°Why did these bastards target me?¡±


    ¡°Lan Yufan and Lu Zixuan were sitting together, a little couple with a girlfriend as a shield. We couldn¡¯t bring ourselves to target them.¡±


    Speaking was Yunyang Bing, and responding to him was a middle finger from Ming Yuhua.


    ¡°Here, this is a specially crafted Spirit Gathering Array I made. It can increase your Spirit Vein Level by a small grade. You open up a Rank-3 top-grade, it can help you improve to Rank-4 lower-grade.¡±


    ¡°Awesome, Old Yun, how did you do this?¡±


    Ming Yuhua grabbed the canvas bag from Yunyang Bing¡¯s hand, took out an array plate and eight array flags from it, and couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    They knew that students could apply for a Rank-3 top-grade spirit vein cultivation room at most, and that also needed the teacher¡¯s signature. Only when applying for foundation establishment for the first time would it be approved.


    They had been in the Daoist Academy for four years, but they had never experienced a Rank-4 spirit vein.


    ¡°You simply can¡¯t tell anyone about this. You should just know for yourself. Don¡¯t spread it. Once the academy knows about it, I guess we both will be punished.¡±


    ¡°Is there something wrong with your array? Did you find a bug in the formation of Building 9?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re overthinking. This special Spirit Gathering Array is only useful for a very short time. You can only use it at the crucial moment.¡±


    The three sat down on the roadside, talked for a while and in the end Yunyang Bing sighed.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe I¡¯m the last one.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha, it¡¯ll be your turn next year.¡±


    All Chen Mobai could say was that as he asked Ming Yuhua about the task he had entrusted to him.


    ¡°How is my Talisman Brush coming along?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s done. He¡¯ll deliver it himself in a couple of days. But have you prepared the ¡®Solidifying Qi Liquid¡¯ to exchange for it?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go exchange it tomorrow. After all, academic points are not that easy to earn.¡±


    Due to the fact that the fruit of the Golden-Edged Jade Bamboo had matured and absorbed all the spiritual energy, causing the bamboo body to wither. After sending it for inspection, it was found that it could not serve as the pen body for a Rank-2 Talisman Brush.


    So the Talisman Brush maker introduced by Ming Yuhua added his own materials and used rabbit and wolf hair to help Chen Mobai make two Rank-2 Talisman Brushes, one large and one small.


    In exchange, Chen Mobai needed to exchange a portion of ¡®Solidifying Qi Liquid¡¯ for the Talisman Brush maker.


    After two days.


    The Talisman Brush maker arrived. He was also a teenager, a former high school classmate of Ming Yuhua with excellent grades, who had entered the Tian Shu Academy, one of the top ten colleges.


    The transaction completed, Ming Yuhua showed him around for two days.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As for Chen Mobai, he had already boarded the train home.


    When he left, he followed Qing Nu¡¯s request and used 20 academic points to exchange a ¡®Vermillion Fruit¡¯ from the academy¡¯s treasure house to bring back home.


    The Vermillion Fruit Tree is a special divine tree unique to Crimson Mountain. Each mountaintop has one planted, and it is a key research object in Spirit Plant classes.


    The grades of the Vermillion Fruit Trees vary. The highest-grade Rank-4 Vermillion Fruit, Chen Mobai obviously could not afford.


    The Vermillion Fruit he brought home was only Rank-2, but even so, it almost used up all his academic points..

 Chapter 259 - Chapter 259: Chapter 241: Winner of Life_l

    Chapter 259: Chapter 241: Winner of Life_l


    ¡°Indeed, the Vermillion Fruit is surely a specialty of the Crimson Mountain; it¡¯s Fire Spirit energy is gentle and nourishing.¡±


    In the Elixir Refining Room of Danxia City¡¯s Elixir Store, Qing Nu took the jade box handed over by Chen Mobai, opened it, and couldn¡¯t help but nod in satisfaction.


    ¡°After confirming the exchange, this fruit can be picked. As soon as I heard your request, I brought Wang Xingyu, the top alchemist in our year, with me. We scoured every hill on the Crimson Mountain for a Vermillion Fruit Tree and picked the best quality one among the Rank-2 Intermediate Grade.¡±


    In order to make this happen, Chen Mobai specifically took out a week¡¯s time during the end of the term to tutor Wang Xingyu.


    ¡°Let me take a look at your Bamboo Fruit.¡±


    Qing Nu opened another jade box on the table, and the pure clear spiritual energy made her narrow her eyes and gently nod.


    ¡°We have both primary ingredients, but we still need twenty-four auxiliary herbs, have you prepared them all?¡±


    The elixir they were preparing to refine was called ¡°Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew,¡± a type of spiritual water for eye refinement and divine sense enhancement.


    Due to Chen Mobai¡¯s continuous gazing at the Qingyang Fire Seed while cultivating Crimson Flame Sword Decree, his eyesight had slightly declined.


    Thus, he consulted Qing Nu if there was any specific spiritual elixir for this situation.


    Luckily, Bamboo fruit had the effect of clarifying vision, and Qing Nu delved into numerous sources from the Jumang Daoist Academy to find the recipe for this ¡°Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew¡±.


    Bamboo Fruit has a cold nature, hence, another mild and yang-filled spiritual fruit is needed as a primary ingredient to provide balance.


    The Vermillion Fruit, a specialty of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, fits this requirement perfectly.


    As for the twenty-four auxiliary herbs, these were even simpler.


    The disciples were called upon to do the task.


    For this purpose, Chen Mobai specifically returned to the Tianhe Realm and summoned his main disciple to handle it.


    Liu Wenbo did not disappoint. Despite the different names for spiritual herbs in both realms, he successfully gathered eighteen of them relying on Chen Mobai¡¯s hand-drawn patterns and descriptions of their medicinal attributes.


    As for the remaining six, if given more time, they could probably be purchased.


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t further complicate this task for his disciple.


    He himself went back to the internet in the Immortal Gate and spent two hundred thousand Good Deed Points to acquire the remaining six types.


    To refine this ¡°Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew,¡± Chen Mobai invested over a hundred Spirit Stones and two hundred thousand Good Deed Points in purchasing the auxiliary herbs. Thanks to the unexpectedly obtained Bamboo Fruit and the Vermillion Fruit that could be swapped with his scholastic points, he managed to save a great deal. Making one bottle of this elixir in the Tianhe Realm would have cost at least a thousand Spirit Stones for the ingredients.


    ¡°Extracting the medicinal properties from these two main ingredients will take about half a month. Looks like I¡¯ll be occupied over the holidays.¡±


    Qing Nu complained, prompting only a sheepish smile from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I appreciate your help.¡±


    ¡°No trouble at all. Just help guide my younger brothers and sisters in their cultivation.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai patted his chest, promising to complete the task.


    Kong Feichen and Yang Jing had also returned this year, probably called back by Qing Nu.


    ¡°By the way, what¡¯s the best way to deal with this ¡®Azure Wood Spirit Core¡¯?¡±


    Having finished discussing trivial matters, Chen Mobai and Qing Nu began discussing the main event.


    The ¡°Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew¡± is a Rank-2 spiritual water. After her second semester at Jumang Dao Academy, Qing Nu passed the Rank-2 Alchemist Assessment. Refining this spiritual water is basically a surefire success as long as she is careful.


    However, the ¡°Azure Wood Spirit Core¡± is different. According to Chen Mobai¡¯s research, in the Immortal Gate, any spiritual object that can open up the Sea of Knowledge in the Purple Palace is at least Rank-3.


    Although Qing Nu has been learning how to become a Rank-3 Alchemist, there is still the possibility of failure in refining a Rank-3 Elixir.


    ¡°I checked the documents. The core should ideally be refined in its original form. However, with your current Foundation Establishment Realm, it is indeed impossible to completely absorb the Azure Wood Spirit Core¡¯s effectiveness at once.¡±


    ¡°Luckily, you have an old classmate who cultivates Ice Spirit Power, right? You can absorb a bit of the core¡¯s power first, then let her perform a spell to reseal the awakened Azure Wood Spirit Core.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll prepare some Primordial Spirit Water and buy a sealed container. Triple-sealed and nurtured, the spiritual essence of the Azure Wood Spirit Core will be preserved.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but give Qing Nu a thumbs-up.


    She truly was a professional.


    Deciding a date can wait, but striking while the iron is hot cannot. After hearing Qing Nu¡¯s plan, Chen Mobai immediately picked up his phone and called Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°Hello there, old classmate, have you returned yet?¡±


    ¡°I arrived yesterday! Why didn¡¯t you tell me? I would¡¯ve picked you up at the station.¡±


    ¡°No worries. It¡¯s been a while since we last met, why don¡¯t we get together for a meal?¡±


    ¡°No one else, just a bunch of old friends.¡±


    ¡°Alright, see you tonight.¡±


    Having set up the date with Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai flashed a ¡®mission accomplished¡¯ sign to Qing Nu. He was oblivious to the slight twitch of Qing Nu¡¯s mouth in front of him.


    ¡°Speaking of which, where are your younger brothers and sisters? Do they want to join us? I just brought back two Azura Blood Carps from home. These are undoubtedly the most delicious thing you¡¯ve never tasted.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s main disciple¡¯s family¡¯s main business was fishing. At the end of the year, as his mentor, he confessed he missed the taste of Azura Blood Carp.

    When Liu Wenbo came to deliver New Year gifts, he purposely brought nine of them.


    One of which was even a Rank-2 Azura Blood Carp King.


    Qing Nu, although still slightly irritated, couldn¡¯t help but swallow her saliva at the thought of the delicious fish that Chen Mobai brought before. She nodded involuntarily.


    [At least he still remembers I like to eat fish!]


    With two fish and five people, Chen Mobai felt it was just enough. Hence, he did not invite anyone else..

 Chapter 260 - Chapter 260: Chapter 241 Life Winner_2

    Chapter 260: Chapter 241 Life Winner_2


    ¡°Huh, how come you¡¯re here, class monitor?


    When Yan Bingxuan came over, she brought Mo Simin with her. Chen Mobai wondered in his heart whether there would be enough to eat.


    ¡°On the way here.¡±


    Mo Simin saw Chen Mobai and Qing Nu, who had already sat down, and her mouth twitched at the sight. However, since she didn¡¯t trust her innocent friend, Yan Bingxuan, to venture into the battlefield alone, she had decided to come over with a ¡®if I don¡¯t go to hell, who will¡¯ mentality.


    ¡°Alright, then. Boss, serve the dishes.¡±


    Since they were old classmates, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t drive them away. It was the same restaurant they ate in when they parted ways four years ago. He had sent two Azure Blood Carps to the restaurant earlier in the day and they were just perfectly grilled now.


    ¡°Where are your little brother and sister? Why haven¡¯t they arrived yet?¡± When the food was served, Chen Mobai asked Qing Nu where Kong Feichen and Yang Jing were, as they hadn¡¯t arrived yet.


    ¡°They¡¯re a bit delayed, they¡¯ll be here soon.


    They ended up waiting for half an hour until Chen Mobai and the others had finished eating one of the carps before the two of them arrived.


    ¡°Hurry up, we¡¯re waiting on you. Fortunately, I had the foresight to save one.¡± Kong Feichen had matured greatly over the year. He wore a white coat and a middle-parted hairstyle. Upon arriving, he greeted everyone before sitting down.


    Yang Jing, on the other hand, sat down without a word and began to eat.


    ¡°Come to think of it, isn¡¯t it said that the success rate of Foundation


    Establishment is high for those with Different Spiritual Roots? How did you manage to fail?¡±


    Chen Mobai brought up the awkward topic, making Kong Feichen glare at him.


    The delicious food in his mouth lost its taste immediately.


    -He has a knot in his heart, or in ancient terms, he has a Heart Demon. Unless


    he breaks through this Demon, he cannot advance.


    Qing Nu didn¡¯t hide anything, she quickly picked at the fish meat while talking about her brother¡¯s situation.


    ¡°A Heart Demon?¡±


    Chen Mobai glanced at Yang Jing who had been eating non-stop since he sat


    down.


    ¡°It¡¯S pretty much what you¡¯re thinking, so we might need your help.¡±


    ¡°How can I help?¡±


    Regardless of his relationship with Qing Nu, Kong Feichen had been running errands for the two of them over the past two years, so it was only right for him to help.


    ¡°We¡¯ll discuss it another time, let¡¯s eat.¡±


    After saying this, Qing Nu bowed her head and resumed her onslaught on the


    fish.


    ¡°The fish tastes even better than last time.


    Yan Bingxuan elegantly put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth after


    she finished eating.


    ¡°Of course, it¡¯s a specialty of my hometown, you can¡¯t find it anywhere else.¡±


    -I¡¯ve been to your hometown before, but I didn¡¯t see any such fish there.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai looked surprised. He stared blankly at Yan Bingxuan, unable to comprehend that she would travel such a distance just to eat fish.


    ¡°Really?¡±


    All those present were astonished upon hearing Yan Bingxuan¡¯s words, and couldn¡¯t resist asking more questions.


    ¡°During the holiday of our second year, I came back as you guys weren¡¯t here. Not knowing how to pass the time, I took a spontaneous trip to Green . Mountain Village. The alcohol there is good, but they don¡¯t have this fis .¡± Yan Bingxuan looked straight at Chen Mobai, who swiftly averted his gaze but quickly came up with an excuse.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t explain correctly. Taixu Mountain Range is vast. Actually, three mountains away from Green Mountain Village, there¡¯s a lake connected to an underground river. The fish living there is the kind we¡¯re eating.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ll have to show me the place when you¡¯ve time.


    ¡°Sure¡­ But I¡¯ll be busy creating the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew with Qing Nu over the next few days, so perhaps sometime after half a month.¡± As Chen Mobai spoke, he pretended to be pressed for time, shaking his head and sighing.


    ¡°Oh, I see.¡±


    When Yan Bingxuan responded, her tone didn¡¯t fluctuate, but Chen Mobai felt inexplicably guilty.


    ¡°Seriously, I¡¯m not lying. I also need a piece of Spiritual Medicine that you¡¯ll


    have to help freeze.¡±


    ¡°Oh, alright then, I¡¯ll help you.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t tell if it was an illusion, but he sensed a different emotion in Yan Bingxuan¡¯s last sentence.


    Right now, Qing Nu simply wanted to say:


    [What does Alchemy have to do with you two? I alone is enough. Are you guys here just to mess things up?!]


    But considering that Chen Mobai might face difficulties, she pouted and continued eating her fish.


    Kong Feichen clenched his fists rigidly, the only thing stopping him from making a move was knowing he wouldn¡¯t win.


    After settling the bill, everyone went their separate ways.


    When Chen Mobai returned home, both his parents were watching television in the living room.


    -Son, your uncle will arrive tomorrow night. You¡¯ll go pick him up. Then invite your aunt¡¯s family so we can all have dinner together.


    ¡°Alright, mom, are you thinking of going back to Green Mountain Village anytime soon?¡±


    ¡°No, why do you ask?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai shook his head, indicating it was nothing. After all, he couldn¡¯t tell them he needed to prepare the stage to prove that the Azure Blood Carp was truly a specialty of Taixu Mountain Range.


    Let¡¯s take one step at a time. If all else fails, he could always say he had a school event and had to return early due to being busy.


    With these thoughts in mind, Chen Mobai went back to his room. It¡¯s strange When he returned to his hometown after Foundation Establishment, the previously annoying reporters disappeared without a trace, not even one appearing before his eyes.


    Perhaps this is what leveling up feels like.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai sat cross-legged on his bed, clutching a Spirit Stone and began Cultivating his Pure Yang Body..

 Chapter 261 - Chapter 261: Chapter 241: Winner of Life 3

    Chapter 261: Chapter 241: Winner of Life 3


    Today is the day he completes the cultivation of his Three Yang Physique.


    When midnight comes, and the Spirit Stone in his palm has dried up, Chen Mobai completes his spiritual practice. The tricoloured spiritual light within his body recedes and he opens his eyes.


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 31, Water 21, Fire 44, Earth 10]


    Looking at the results displayed on the Spirit-Testing Instruments, Chen Mobai cannot help but sigh.


    Finally, something worth acknowledging.


    Due to ingesting Jade Bamboo Shoots, his Wood Spiritual Root had increased yet again.


    However, after his Wood Spiritual Root reached 33 points, the Jade Bamboo Shoots had no further effect on him, seemingly reaching a bottleneck. Having lost two points in the process of attaining the Three Yang Physique, he wasn¡¯t sure if he could regain the points by consuming more shoots.


    As for the Water Spirit Root, there was no hope. The Azure Blood Carp had become ineffective a long time ago. After forming the Three Yang Physique, the value of his Water Spirit Root plummeted.


    Upon reaching the Four Yang Realm, it would fall under 20.


    However, this brought him back within the realm of True Spirit Roots, a silver lining of sorts.


    But the best news was that he could now attempt to establish the foundation of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    With his current Foundation Establishment Realm, returning to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll Qi Cultivation chapter was incredibly easy. In just half a year, he had perfected the ninth level of Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    If it weren¡¯t for the completion of the Three Yang Body, he could have already broken the threshold law and started the Dual-phase Rotation.


    But it¡¯s fine as well. This was the perfect opportunity to demonstrate how to achieve the Foundation Establishment directly.


    The next day, Chen Mobai went to the airport to pick up Chen Baolan, then joined up with his aunt¡¯s family. They celebrated his successful foundation establishment.


    After the family celebration, the principal of Immortal Door High School N0.5 came to visit.


    Of course, he wanted to invite the well-known alumnus, Chen Mobai, back to take some photos and request a piece of calligraphy to hang on a banner.


    Unable to delay any further, he could only go along with a bitter smile.


    With the principal¡¯s arrangements, reporters finally dared to take pictures.


    A photo of Chen Mobai gazing into the distance was added to the wall of the corridor in Immortal Door High School N0.5.


    Upon hearing the news, old classmates learned that this top student who was admitted to the Dance Tool Dao Academy had successfully established his foundation, and would be honored in his hometown this year. This prompted them to invite Chen Mobai to catch up.


    Reluctantly, he asked the class leader, Mo Simin, to organize a gathering.


    In the same restaurant they¡¯d celebrated graduation, Chen Mobai and his group coincidentally ran into Gong Xiangyu¡¯s group. Both were having a reunion, naturally revolving around Qing Nu, the Heavenly Spiritual Root from Jumang Dao Academy.


    ¡°Oh, what a coincidence.¡±


    With his face turning from white to red, Gong Xiangyu realized he couldn¡¯t confront Chen Mobai, a true cultivator who had successfully established his foundation. But with so many classmates behind him and it being his own arrangement, he absolutely couldn¡¯t back down.


    ¡°Hmm, don¡¯t forget to come tomorrow, I¡¯ll wait for you at the old place.¡±


    Just as he was about to respond, he heard a clear voice from behind.


    Without needing to turn around, he knew it was Qing Nu¡¯s voice.


    At that moment, Gong Xiangyu realized he no longer qualified to talk with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Do you want me to help you with something tomorrow?¡±


    The one asking was Yan Bingxuan, who was next to Chen Mobai. A few days ago, he had mentioned having something for her to help with.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I guess so.¡±


    Chen Mobai seemed to agree with some reluctance.


    Everyone watching this scene could only think of one thing.


    Is this what a winner in life looks like?


    Damn, I¡¯m so envious!

 Chapter 262 - Chapter 262: Chapter 242: Refining the Azure Wood Spirit

    Chapter 262: Chapter 242: Refining the Azure Wood Spirit


    Heart_i


    This meal didn¡¯t sit well with Gong Xiangyu.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai was downstairs, chatting and laughing with Lu Hongsheng and others, reminiscing about various embarrassing incidents from their high school days.


    ¡°You¡¯re really amazing, Yuanqing tried to follow your lead and proceed to Foundation Establishment, but he failed,¡± Shi Jingjing, looking at the radiant Chen Mobai, couldn¡¯t help but express her admiration.


    ¡°Oh, is he okay?¡±


    Chen Mobai had a strong impression of Shi Yuanqing. After all, he was the second-best talent in their high school year at Fifth High School, only after Chen Mobai. When he was dueling, he advanced to the ninth level of Ql cultivation, causing representatives from Daoist Academy to marvel. -He suffered a minor loss of Qi and blood. Xu Yuan rushed over to take care of him, fortunately, he didn¡¯t fall from his realm.


    Seems he failed to cultivate the Critical Technique.


    After hearing Shi Jingjing¡¯s words, Chen Mobai felt a pity for Shi Yuanqing. He was admitted to Primordial Elemental Academy, so he certainly had the opportunity to learn about Critical Technique. However, this feat was extremely dependent on talent. Even within the Four Daoist Academies, there were some who couldn¡¯t comprehend it.


    ¡°By the way, didn¡¯t Cao Yaling say she was going to come with you? Why is she not here?¡±


    Chen Mobai walked around, clinked glasses with Song Zheng, who was sitting in the corner, and after realizing he couldn¡¯t find this old classmate, he asked Shi Jingjing once he returned to his seat.


    ¡°She felt she has an opportunity to break through in her Void Spirit Eye cultivation and didn¡¯t want to miss it, so she didn¡¯t come.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai remembered.


    These two top female students of their year both practice Spirit Eye cultivation, and he was just about to refine the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew. Could this also be an opportunity to refine their cultivation skills in this aspect.


    ¡°You want to cultivate this too? Not that it¡¯s impossible, but we cultivate this primarily to inherit the Jade Stone Shop. It won¡¯t be much of a help for cultivation.¡±


    Shi Jingjing advised Chen Mobai hesitantly, after all, she didn¡¯t want her ambitious and talented old classmate to waste time on this not-so-useful technique.


    ¡°I guess I¡¯ll be able to enter the back mountain of the Dance Tool Dao Academy next year and pick out a magic artifact that suits me from the Treasure Trove.


    If I master this technique, it will definitely come in handy at that time.¡±


    ¡°Treasure Trove?¡±


    Many people were not familiar with this place.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to explain, Song Zheng, who was sitting in the corner, spoke up.


    He was admitted into Heavenly Book Academy, and he happened to have read about Treasure Trove in the school¡¯s books.


    After he finished talking, everyone looked at Chen Mobai with even more envious eyes.


    ¡°Mobai, are you going to pick a Rank-3 legal treasure since you¡¯re so incredible?¡±


    ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? How could a mere Rank-3 be enough?


    At least Rank-4!¡±


    ¡°When we enrolled as freshmen, I knew Mobai was extraordinary. A purple halo encased him, and he had an astonishing destiny. I think he might get an unparalleled Rank-5 Legal Treasures!¡±


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai felt a headache coming.


    These guys are overexaggerating as they drink more. Among the thousand students who enter the Treasure Trove, more than 99% get only a Rank-2 Magical Artifact.


    On average, only one lucky student gets a Rank-3 artifact every twenty years. As for Rank-4, the last person who got one is the current Dean of Dance Tool Dao Academy, and that was more than six hundred years ago.


    Rank-5?


    It seems Treasure Trove didn¡¯t even have a legal artifact of this level at all! As he watched his friends grow increasingly absurd in their flattery, Chen Mobai quickly raised his glass to change the subject.


    -You should come to my place when you¡¯re free. Given your current realm, only my father can converse with you about Spirit Eye cultivation.¡± When they were wrapping up, Shi Jingjing left this message.


    Her father was a grand master of jade, antique, and magic artifact identification in Red Sandstone City, and also a foundation establishment True Cultivator.


    After thanking her, Chen Mobai also shared his wishes for Cao Yahng¡¯s breakthrough.


    The next day.


    in the elixir refining room of the Baoping Medicine Shop, Chen Mobai introduced ¡°Bimu Lingxin¡± to Yan Bingxuan.


    She didn¡¯t bring Mo Simin this time. With no idlers hanging around, Chen Mobai felt relieved.


    On the side, Qing Nu was focusing on preparing the Primordial Spirit Water.


    ¡°I understand.¡±


    After explaining what he wanted Yan Bingxuan¡¯s help with, she nodded, understanding what she needed to do and promised to deliver.


    ¡°Is this where you usually work?¡±


    Since it would still take some time for Qing Nu to prepare the Primordial Spirit Water, Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan watched her work and chatted.


    ¡°in high school, the reason I was able to make rapid progress in my cultivation right before the college entrance exam was because of the Qi-replemshing spirit Water prepared by Qing Nu. You could say that she was my biggest help in getting into the Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    ¡°There are countless people who have entered the late-stage Qi cultivation in high school, but only more than two hundred people can make it into the four major Daoist Academies. What you have achieved is all due to your own efforts.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan with her serious personality, shook her head and rejected Chen Mobai¡¯s humility.


    ¡°Hahaha, if you say so, I¡¯m going to start getting proud.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    With a ¡°pah¡± sound!


    The glass container Qing Nu was preparing in her hands suddenly shattered, making a crisp noise that startled Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Nothing serious. The refining of the Primordial Spirit Water has completed, but the normal container can¡¯t withstand its sealed medicinal power, so I¡¯ll just replace it with the Sealing Spirit bottle that you bought.


    Turning around with her eyes squinted and a smile, Qing Nu captured the glass fragments in her hand and threw them into the designated trash can. Meanwhile, she used her superb spiritual power to control a lump of blue solution floating in mid-air and poured it into a square bottle that had been prepared..

 Chapter 263 - Chapter 263: Chapter 242: Refining the Azure Wood Spirit

    Chapter 263: Chapter 242: Refining the Azure Wood Spirit


    Heart 2


    ¡°That¡¯s great, let¡¯s get started.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately said happily. Then, with a spirited look, he took out the Green Wood Spirit Heart and sat in the corner of the Elixir Refining Room, starting to absorb and refine this spiritual object.


    Qing Nu took a deep breath and approached him with a bright smile.


    Yan Bingxuan also silently walked over.


    The two women each stood to one side of the young man, who was kneeling and holding Green Wood Spirit Heart, watching as strands of blue-green light, like the fuzz of willow trees, drifted into Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead.


    They waited quietly.


    What kind of Spirit Eye do you want to cultivate, nephew?¡±


    In the biggest jade and jewellery palace in Red Sandstone City, inside the hall of Qingyu Zhai, a middle-aged man with refined facial features and a mustache chatted with Chen Mobai with a smile.


    ¡°Uncle Shi, the thing is, because I¡¯m cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, I have to stare at flames for a long time, and recently I¡¯ve noticed a decline in my eyesight.¡±


    ¡°Also, I¡¯m about to go into the Treasure Trove. There are many magic artifacts in there, and I want to choose one that suits me. To be honest, of course I hope to choose a Rank-3 item.¡±


    ¡°So I wanted to ask you, as a professional, if there is a Spirit Eye that allows me to stare at flames without strain, and can see through the reality of magic artifacts.¡±


    This middle-aged man was the father of Shi Jingjing, named Shi Qujin, and he was one of the few Rank-3 Treasure Appraisers in Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°Generally speaking, Spirit Eyes tend to focus on certain specific functions. For example, the Void Spirit Eye I cultivated is mainly used to perceive the spiritual energy contained within an object. If you are trying to select a magic artifact, you could cultivate it.¡±


    ¡°As for Spirit Eyes related to flames, there are indeed several. The topmost one I can think of is the ¡®Zulong Divine Eye Technique¡¯ of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute.¡±


    ¡°Once cultivated, it can control the Great Sun Fire, Dark Moon Fire, and Star Fire. I don¡¯t know whether your Dance Tool Daoist Academy has this collection or not.¡±


    As expected from a professional Foundation Establishment True Cultivator specializing in cultivating Spirit Eyes, Shi Qujin promptly resolved Chen Mobai¡¯s confusion.


    ¡°Thank you, uncle. I will ask my teacher when I return to the academy. But just to be on the safe side, besides the Zulong Divine Eye Technique, are there any other options?¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai poured Shi Qujin a full cup of tea.


    Besides these two, Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling were also present. The latter had reached a higher level of the Void Spirit Eye, but since she had just made a breakthrough, her eyes were radiating with spiritual light and she couldn¡¯t control it.


    Chen Mobai poured a cup for his two old classmates as well, and they both said thanks instantly.


    ¡°The Observing Stars Technique of the Astral Observation Academy, the Heavenly Phenomena Eye Technique of the Nature Studies Academy, the Fiery Eyes Technique of the Pure Yang Academy, and the Heavenly Vision Technique of the Heavenly Book Academy can also suit.¡±


    ¡°You can go to the technique library of the Immortal Sect and read the introductions of these techniques, then compare them. However, the best one is certainly the Zulong Divine Eye Technique.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, if you just want to see the flames directly, cultivating the Void Spirit Eye would be enough as long as you¡¯re not directly gazing at those high grade Heavenly Spiritual Fires.¡±


    Chen Mobai firmly recorded Shi Qujin¡¯s words in his mind.


    He had already begun refining the ¡°Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew¡± and did not want to waste the efficacy of the Spiritual Water.


    Furthermore, he believed that he would certainly be able to gain a bargain in the Tianhe Realm in the future. Thus, it felt necessary to cultivate the Void Spirit Eye.


    As for the Zulong Divine Eye Technique, it sounded too advanced and didn¡¯t suit him, so he decided to leave it out for now.


    ¡°Thank you, uncle. This is the Spiritual Wine made in my hometown. You can try it.¡±


    Of course, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t visit empty- handed. But Shi Qujin still politely refused a couple times before reluctantly accepting his gift.


    ¡°Nephew, you should come often.¡±


    After Chen Mobai left, Shi Qujin turned to his daughter and disciple and asked them.


    ¡°Does your classmate have a girlfriend?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s had one for a while now, they¡¯ve been dating since high school.¡±


    Shi Jingjing, knowing the implications of her father¡¯s question, preemptively cut off the conversation he was about to start.


    ¡°What a pity. Why didn¡¯t any of you hold on to him?¡±


    In response to Shi Qujin¡¯s regret, Shi Jingjing grumbled about Chen Mobai¡¯s romantic past.


    ¡°He has two girlfriends! One with a Heavenly Spiritual Root and the other with an Ice Spirit Root¡­¡±


    ¡°Ah, that¡¯s not good. Polygamy is illegal in the Immortal Sect. You should persuade him more. A great future cannot be destroyed by such a mistake.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Shi Qujin was taken aback.


    He really couldn¡¯t see that Chen Mobai was that kind of person!


    ¡°But isn¡¯t he not married yet?¡±


    Suddenly, Cao Yaling said something that rendered Shi Qujin and his daughter speechless.


    ¡°Disciple, it¡¯s better not to pursue this person.¡±


    After hearing about Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°romantic history¡± from his daughter, Shi


    Qujin retracted his previous words and advised gently.


    ¡°Master, what are you thinking!¡±


    Realizing her previous remark could be easily misunderstood, Cao Yaling rushed to explain.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai got on a bus intending to go to the apartment rented by Qing Nu.


    However, he frowned as soon as he boarded the bus.


    He saw someone who shouldn¡¯t be there.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Long time no see.¡±


    At the back of the bus, Lan Haitian waved at Chen Mobai.


    After hesitating for a moment and considering that he was already at the Foundation Establishment stage and a student of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, he decided to find out what Lan was up to and walked over.


    After getting off the bus, Chen Mobai frowned again. However, he quickly put this matter out of his mind and took the elevator up to the apartment.


    Kong Feichen, who opened the door, looked at him expressionlessly..

 Chapter 264 - Chapter 264: Chapter 242 Refining the Azure Wood Spirit Heart_3

    Chapter 264: Chapter 242 Refining the Azure Wood Spirit Heart_3


    ¡°How is your sister?¡±


    Chen Mobai entered as if he was no stranger to the place.


    Ever since he refined half a heart of Bi Mu Ling, his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion expanded by more than twice, along with a slight increase in his Divine Sense.


    The remaining half was frozen by Yan Bingxuan, and was conserved inside a container of Primordial Spirit Water.


    Likewise, Qing Nu mentioned something that she wanted his help with.


    Yang Jing, being forced by her foster parents to cultivate Twofold Divine Technique, developed a second personality when she was young.


    But this personality, owing to her childhood fantasies, turned into a snake, causing her to sleepwalk and wriggle uncontrollably each time she fell asleep.


    After Yang Jing¡¯s foster parents were arrested, the Law Enforcement Cultivator from Xianmen sealed her second personality. However, this Sealing Skill needs constant reinforcement and cannot be slackened.


    In order to help her, Kong Feichen cultivated this Sealing Skill.


    However, his Cultivation Level was too low. By the time Yang Jing developed Divine Sense, his Sealing Skill could no longer control it.


    Luckily at that time, Qing Nu took Gu Changfeng as her teacher. As a cultivator of Foundation Establishment, he easily generated a strong seal.


    But Gu Changfeng has been imprisoned for labor reformation for four years, and the seal he set up originally is no longer effective.


    Practicing Forbidden Technique is unacceptable to Xianmen, and Yang Jing transforming into a wriggling snake is indeed unpleasant to see. So Qing Nu and Kong Feichen do not want others to know about this.


    Originally they thought that once they succeed in Foundation Establishment, they can resolve this matter easily.


    However, Qing Nu wasted a lot of time before starting university. She has only achieved the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation even now. She could surely succeed in Foundation Establishment if she took the Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment, but Jumang Daoist Academy did not allow her to do this given her Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude.


    Her tutor wished Qing Nu to hear the Dao teachings to build the Foundation so that she could cast the most perfect Dao foundation naturally when water flows into the channel.


    Doing so would make the Core Formation equally smooth, combined with the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, the success would be almost guaranteed.


    So this issue fell onto Kong Feichen, however, the more anxious he got, the less successful he became.


    Qing Nu exchanged for him a jade marrow pill, Chen Mobai also swapped for the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, along with a full set of the Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment, but Kong Feichen still failed.


    Just as Qing Nu was about to confide in her tutor in desperation, they saw the circle post sent by Chen Mobai.


    Success in Foundation Establishment!


    Qing Nu felt that even heaven was helping her. This boy would step forward every time she needed help most.


    ¡°Why are you so slow at practicing the Sealing Skill? You call yourself a student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy?¡±


    Kong Feichen and Chen Mobai arrived at the living room. Yang Jing was sitting quietly on the sofa watching TV. She raised her head to greet them when she saw them coming in.


    ¡°I¡¯m doing it this way to ensure it¡¯s foolproof. After all, she¡¯s your and Qing Nu¡¯s sister, so I have to be extra cautious. But don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m now fully confident. I¡¯ll reinforce her seal today.¡±


    Chen Mobai would never admit that he wasn¡¯t naturally gifted in Sealing Skill, and that was why it took him nearly ten days to learn it.


    ¡°Thank¡­ thank you.¡±


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought he heard wrong, he turned to see Kong Feichen¡¯s blushing face, trying to listen again, the latter directly turned his head away.


    This guy, why had he never noticed before how awkward his personality was?


    Chuckling silently, Chen Mobai also sat down on the sofa and extended his right index finger to Yang Jing who was looking over.


    ¡°Just relax, I¡¯ll try to be as quick as possible.¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡±


    Yang Jing nodded, then closed her eyes.


    Chen Mobai drew a complex pattern in the air with his index finger, then Divine Sense surged out, forming a dazzling, golden diamond seal following his finger and landed on Yang Jing¡¯s smooth forehead.


    ¡°Ding!¡±


    The seal fell, and Chen Mobai was about to withdraw his finger when all of a sudden, Yang Jing¡¯s eyes snapped open, revealing a strange smile..

 Chapter 265 - Chapter 265: Chapter 243 Ascension Sect l

    Chapter 265: Chapter 243 Ascension Sect l


    What?


    Just when surprise furrowed Chen Mobai¡¯s brow, a dark, long shadow, akin to a spirit snake, shot out from Yang Jing¡¯s open mouth.


    A blazing, scorching energy erupted, and a strand of purple flame rose from Chen Mobai¡¯s palm. It incinerated the dark shadow, but the invisible divine consciousness residing within it penetrated through the Purple Fire Sword Aura and infiltrated Chen Mobai¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    Divine Consciousness Forming!


    Has Yang Jing reached the foundation establishment stage?


    Chen Mobai frowned at this unanticipated development but, as this pertained to his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, he remained vigilant and decided to meditate immediately to investigate.


    Meanwhile, the extremely quiet Yang Jing was now widely gaping, her eyes sparkling with a beastly, sinister glow as she laughed chillingly and lunged at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What is going on? Is there a problem with the seal?¡±


    At this moment, Kong Feichen, who was observing this scene from the side, wanted frantically to intervene.


    ¡°Could it be, that guy was telling the truth?¡±


    While he muttered to himself, a sharp snap was heard.


    Mysterious cyan lights peeked out from under the sleeve of Chen Mobai¡¯s right arm, then suddenly shot out in the blink of an eye, turning into small, finely shattered cyan scales, constricting the hands and feet of both Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, rendering them suspended in mid-air.


    ¡°Until I figure out what the situation is, the two of you stay still for me.¡±


    Having said that, Chen Mobai sat on the couch and closed his eyes.


    He immediately plunged his mind into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    Next, he saw a Shadow Snake coiled around his split-off Divine Consciousness in the form of the Green Paulownia Seedling¡ªthe snake¡¯s two blood-red eyes flickering with unconscious chaos.


    Without saying, Chen Mobai drove his Divine Consciousness to directly crush the Shadow Snake.


    If it were about spiritual power, he still had deficiencies since he only established his foundation half a year ago and was still recovering from a pill toxicosis.


    However, his Divine Sense was his strongest fortification.


    The firm foundation laid by the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique, his self-created Pain-Free Diverging Divine Consciousness, plus his recently refined Green Heart broadening his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion by more than twice its original size.


    Purely in terms of Divine Consciousness, he was already among the top cultivators at the early foundation stage. Even compared to middle-stage cultivators who only improve their Divine Consciousness through raising their cultivation levels without any specific training, he was not inferior.


    After his Divine Consciousness, transformed into the Green Paulownia Seedling, tore the Shadow Snake into shreds, Chen Mobai carefully inspected his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion one more time. After he confirmed there were no threats, he finally opened his eyes with ease.


    ¡°What the hell are you trying to do?¡±


    Kong Feichen, who was suspended mid-air by the Green Scale Arm Guard, was still fiercely struggling.


    He was wide-eyed, trying to call forth his Wind Spiritual Power to cut off the bonds that constrained his hands and legs. However, the power of a rank-2 Magic Artifact wasn¡¯t something he, a mere Qi Practitioner, could break free from.


    As soon as he attempted to release his spiritual power from his body, it would be immediately crushed by a magical scale, preventing him from forming his Wind Blade technique.


    On the other hand, Yang Jing, who was initially opening her mouth and squirming, slumped abruptly, fainting immediately as the Shadow Snake was shattered.


    ¡°Stay quiet.¡±


    Chen Mobai snapped his fingers, and five cyan scales flew out, adhering to Kong Feichen¡¯s lips and dropping him gently on the floor to alleviate his discomfort.


    Then, bending his finger, he made the cyan scales on the unconscious Yang Jing¡¯s limbs to light up. Guiding her with his spiritual power, she flew over and landed on the couch.


    Looking at the unconscious girl breathing evenly in her sleep, Chen Mobai reached out his fingers, touching her forehead.


    A golden diamond-shaped mark lit up, representing the seal he had just set¡ªit was successful.


    ¡°Wuu wuu wuu!¡±


    Kong Feichen was still struggling on the floor. Chen Mobai found it annoying, so with a wave of his left hand, a dozen golden needles flew out from his sleeve.


    The golden light shimmered, and the chilling needle points pressed against Kong Feichen¡¯s skin, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body.


    He stopped moving abruptly.


    ¡°Qing Nu is refining the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, I won¡¯t call her now, to avoid distracting her.¡±


    Having said this, Chen Mobai pulled his finger off Yang Jing¡¯s forehead, then rose to his feet and headed for the balcony.


    He took out his phone, hesitated with a frown, but finally sent a text message to Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Although it¡¯s unlike what you predicted, something unexpected indeed happened.¡±


    Beep beep beep, a message arrived immediately in reply.


    ¡°Can you explain in detail?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not very convenient right now, let¡¯s meet somewhere tonight.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s meet where we first met then, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    After they made an appointment, Chen Mobai remembered what Lan Haitian had told him on the bus.


    Yang Jing¡¯s foster parents were once part of a heretical cult. Gu Changfeng in his youth was also a follower of this cult.


    Furthermore, the fact that Qing Nu, Kong Feichen, and Yang Jing, three individuals with extraordinary Spiritual Root Aptitude, were in the same orphanage is clearly suspicious.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, Lan Haitian investigated the orphanage but found no irregularities.


    Standing on the balcony, Chen Mobai pondered over every bit of information. Finally he realized, the exposed problem lay with Yang Jing.


    Her foster parents had her Practice Forbidden Techniques, but it was discovered by a Law Enforcement Cultivator.


    Then Gu Changfeng appeared, took on Qing Nu as a disciple and, consequentially, put the seal on Yang Jing¡¯s second personality ¡°Snake¡±.


    Furthermore, for the years that passed, it was Gu Changfeng who reinforced Yang Jing¡¯s seal until he himself was also suspected of practicing forbidden techniques and arrested by Lan Haitian..

 Chapter 266 - Chapter 266: Chapter 243 Ascension Sect_2

    Chapter 266: Chapter 243 Ascension Sect_2


    Then, why did a problem arise when he tried to enforce the seal himself?


    After sifting through all the clues, Chen Mobai found himself back at square one.


    He pondered for a moment, then took out his phone, opened the Immortal Gate¡¯s spell library, and started to look for this sealing spell.


    With his current rights as a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, it was easy for him to find the sealing spell named ¡°Tao¡±.


    After spending 600 points to download the complete content, Chen Mobai finally discovered the problem.


    The sealing spell that Qing Nu and Kong Feichen taught him was different from the one in the Immortal Gate¡¯s spell library. Although the differences were minor, a precise spell like a sealing spell could not tolerate a single mistake.


    So, he was taught the wrong sealing spell, no wonder it took him so long to grasp.


    Coming to this realization, Chen Mobai put down his phone and walked to the center of the living room.


    With a snap of his fingers, the blue scales on Kong Feichen¡¯s mouth and limbs transformed into pieces of azure light and flew back to his right sleeve, reattaching themselves to his arm guard.


    ¡°Who taught you this sealing spell?¡±


    Chen Mobai started to inquire, and due to the flying needles still being in place, Kong Feichen dared not move. He only stared at Yang Jing impassively, without uttering a word.


    With another snap of his fingers, the green-scaled chains binding Yang Jing were also retracted.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, just because I¡¯m not interested in you two. Plus, if it weren¡¯t for Qing Nu¡¯s referral, you wouldn¡¯t have been able to get me, a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, to be here.¡±


    Even though they were both geniuses with Different Spiritual Roots, under the difference in realm, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing had no room to counter.


    Now that Chen Mobai knew what the problem was, he had lost interest.


    He retracted the flying needles, edited a text message about the current situation, and sent it to Qing Nu.


    Qing Nu should have finished brewing her Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew for the day, and could now be called over to take control of the situation.


    Beep beep beep!


    His message had just been sent when Qing Nu immediately made a call back.


    After Chen Mobai picked up, he heard her frantic voice.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be right there!¡±


    After listening to his description, Qing Nu said only these words before hanging up the phone.


    About ten minutes later, the door was pushed open with a ¡°bang¡±. Qing Nu came in, rushed to the couch first, and checked the condition of the unconscious Yang Jing. Only after she confirmed that he was fine did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Here is the ¡®Tao¡¯ downloaded from the Immortal Gate¡¯s spell library. There are six different patterns compared to the one you two taught me.¡±


    Chen Mobai patted the couch next to him, indicating to Qing Nu that she could rest for a while. Then he sent her a link about ¡°Tao¡±.


    Ignoring her wasted points, Qing Nu downloaded the spell using her own account and looked it over. She then recalled the sealing spell inside her mind and found that it did indeed deviate from what Chen Mobai had said, with a difference appearing in six patterns.


    This would indeed lead to a faulty seal. However, why hadn¡¯t there been any problems with Yang Jing before?


    ¡°Gu Changfeng was the one who sealed her before. It¡¯s possible he was using the correct seal on Yang Jing all along, but he held back when teaching you two.¡±


    Chen Mobai proposed his theory, but this brought up another question.


    Why did Gu Changfeng do this?


    ¡°The sealing spell we learned was taught to us by the Law Enforcement Cultivator who arrested Yang Jing¡¯s parents. After initially helping to seal Yang Jing¡¯s second personality, she talked about the potential impact in the future. To protect Yang Jing, we insisted on learning this seal from her. She was kind. When we took Yang Jing away, she taught us.¡±


    Now that Qing Nu was back, Kong Feichen finally spoke. He cooperatively disclosed crucial information.


    ¡°What¡¯s her name? Do you remember?¡±


    ¡°Not anymore. We only remember other people addressing her as Captain Gan.¡±


    Upon hearing Kong Feichen¡¯s words, Chen Mobai noted down the surname. With Lan Haitian¡¯s influence, he should be able to access the records of those involved in arresting Yang Jing¡¯s parents.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think she has any problems. I can feel that the pity she showed Yang Jing back then was genuine.¡±


    In the middle of this, Qing Nu suddenly spoke.


    She gently touched the still frowning, unconscious Yang Jing, and her face was filled with worry.


    ¡°There is one person who would definitely know the truth.¡±


    ¡°Who?¡±


    ¡°My master.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the resolute Qing Nu and couldn¡¯t help shaking his head.


    ¡°It seems that he was transferred out of the Danxia City Prison in the year we entered university. We don¡¯t know where he is serving his sentence now.¡±


    ¡°I will apply to visit him as a disciple. Whether it works or not, at least I can try to get a chance to contact him by phone.¡±


    ¡°Alright, Yang Jing¡¯s second personality¡¯s influence has entered my Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Palace and was defeated by me. For at least the next half a year, she doesn¡¯t need to worry about this. However, it only takes me about three days to re-cultivate ¡®Tao¡¯. Once I apply the correct Ssealing Spell, as long as she doesn¡¯t succeed in Foundation Establishment, she won¡¯t be able to break through my seal within two or three years.¡±

    Chen Mobai comforted Qing Nu. At least they discovered the problem at the scene, compared to Yang Jing returning to school and having the problem arise thereafter, this could be considered a blessing in disguise.


    ¡°Thank you. I really troubled you.¡±


    ¡°We don¡¯t need to talk about these things.¡±


    Hearing this, a rare smile emerged on Qing Nu¡¯s sad face.


    ¡°It¡¯s getting late, I should go back. I¡¯ll come back in three days..¡±

 Chapter 267 - Chapter 267: Chapter 243 Ascension Sect 3

    Chapter 267: Chapter 243 Ascension Sect 3


    Chen Mobai glanced at the sunset outside and excused himself.


    Qing Nu asked Kong Feichen to take care of Yang Jing, and she personally escorted Chen Mobai downstairs.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have everything under control.¡±


    After uttering these words, Chen Mobai boarded the bus.


    Evening.


    At a bus stop not far from his home, Chen Mobai checked the time and hadn¡¯t seen Lan Haitian yet.


    He frowned, then remembered that their formal conversation had taken place at the Evergreen Pharmacy.


    ¡°You¡¯re late, and I thought you were not coming.¡±


    As expected, in the backyard of the pharmacy, Lan Haitian was sitting on the edge of a medicine vat, looking up at the moon, and greeted Chen Mobai descending from the sky.


    ¡°Our first meeting was at the bus stop on the road outside.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is that so? Maybe there¡¯s a problem with my description.¡±


    Lan Haitian said with a smile and then threw a document to Chen Mobai. The latter didn¡¯t need to open it, his Divine Sense scanned it in a flash, and he immediately handed it back after reading its content.


    [Gan Rongxia, retired four years ago, currently a housewife teaching her children at home.]


    [ After checking, there is no trace of her involvement with the Ascension Sect.]


    [However, the head of law enforcement who caused her to retire died of demonic possession a month ago. The autopsy is still ongoing, but it is essentially confirmed that he cultivated a Forbidden Technique.]


    ¡°Ascension Sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai extracted the main information from the document.


    ¡°A heretical cult founded by a group from the ancient Dao lineage, the current Sect Hierarch is the hall master of the Ascension Sect. So it¡¯s called the Ascension Sect, he practices the art of the Corpse Disposal Immortal, and has undergone two reincarnations, his cultivation Realm is profound, you can view him as a very powerful Nascent Soul cultivator.¡±


    ¡°View him? With so many Nascent Soul practitioners in the celestial sect, can they not handle one tiny heretical cult?¡±


    Chen Mobai was perplexed. How dare a mere cult leader behave so recklessly in the celestial sect!


    ¡°But he needs to be within the celestial sect¡¯s territory, right? This Ascension Sect Hierarch has been refining stars and galactic energies outside the earthly realm ever since he established his sect.¡±


    Lan Haitian was also helpless. The celestial sect indeed had profound strength.


    They¡¯ve eradicated twenty-eight ancient Dao lineages in the past six thousand years.


    Nine grandmasters of the Divine Sect were killed three thousand three hundred years ago.


    A few centuries ago, just after the Real Sun Master had cultivated a Primordial Spirit, he was shattered by two ancestors of the celestial sect who had undergone Divinity Transformation.


    Now, these ancient successors have directly avoided confronting the celestial sect, and many have surrendered.


    Stubborn ones, like the Ascension Sect Hierarch, have even created a Starship and fled from the earthly realm. They have left seeds in the Divine Senses of some of their followers, ready to descend and possess them for preaching at any time.


    ¡°So, does that mean Gu Changfeng is a part of the Ascension Sect?¡±


    ¡°It is preliminary assessed to be so, and he¡¯s likely one of the core disciples within the sect. According to my observations over the past four years, a God Seed has been planted in his Divine Sense.¡±


    ¡°Whose? Is it from that Ascension Sect Hierarch?¡±


    ¡°If he has cultivated the Devour God Technique, it should be from another formidable figure from the ancient grandmasters, one of the vice Hierarchs of the Ascension Sect, Shen Yu Xuan Master.¡±


    ¡°Are there many vice Hierarchs in the Ascension Sect?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve confirmed three: Shen Yu Xuan Master, Flower Bloom Courtyard


    Master, and Shrine of Life and Death Master.¡±


    ¡°Are they all outside the earthly realm?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Hearing Lan Haitian¡¯s words, an indescribable emotion rose in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart.


    If it were pride, the celestial sect had intimidated these ancient grandmasters to such an extent they dared not set foot in the earthly realm, and this indeed seemed a little prideful.


    But when he thought about how there was a hidden evil force like the Ascension Sect within the tranquil celestial sect, he felt as if the many Nascent Soul practitioners and the two Qivinity Transformation ancestors of the celestial sect were somewhat negligent.


    The task of removing evils should be carried out thoroughly!

    ¡°Why are you telling me all this out of the blue?¡±


    He asked Lan Haitian again.


    ¡°What is your identity now? A disciple of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, a rightful direct descendant of the Celestial Sect. Like me, you have the duty to suppress the ancient Dao lineages.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was dumbfounded. He pointed at himself, his face filled with confusion.


    ¡°I¡¯m just a student..¡±

 Chapter 268 - Chapter 268: Chapter 244: Repairing Heaven Group_l

    Chapter 268: Chapter 244: Repairing Heaven Group_l


    Red Sandstone City¡¯s train station.


    A woman wearing sunglasses strolled out with two teenagers in tow.


    ¡°Is this the little place?¡±


    One of the bald teenagers glanced around, his tone slightly dismissive.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, the Vice Sect Hierarch hasn¡¯t descended from the sky in a long time, since he ordered us to pick someone up, we must do this matter skillfully.


    The other square-faced teenager, carrying two large luggage trunks, led the way out of the station.


    ¡°Be discreet, there are Law Enforcement Cultivators patrolling at the entrance.¡± The woman with the sunglasses used a secret telepathic technique to relay her observations to her two companions.


    The previously nonchalant boys quickly sobered up, playing the part of law-abiding citizens schlepping their own baggage, they checked their tickets and exited through the gateway.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t we fly?¡±


    After exiting the train station, the bald boy seemed puzzled. Although the fare on the train was not bad for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it seemed a bit time-consuming.


    ¡°Each airplane is covered with Rank-3 prohibitions, once our identities are exposed, we won¡¯t even be able to escape. But trains are different, they¡¯re only shrouded by Rank-2 formations. If the three of us all go all out, we could blow a hole and run.¡±


    The lady with the sunglasses explained. Although all three of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators, they had all practiced ancient secret techniques.


    Even though they could hide their energy without leaving any leak, it was always better to be safe than sorry. Several individuals who cultivated forbidden techniques have been exposed every year.


    in the face of the relentless pursuit from the ¡°Heaven Mending Group¡± of the immortal sects, the first thing they had to consider before each operation was their escape route.


    ¡°Remarkably, this small city has two Gold Core experts settled here.¡± The square-faced boy pulled out his phone and checked out the upper echelons of Red Sandstone City, seeing True Man Chi Robe and True Man Shi Qing, he couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    You see, among the seventy-two blessed places of the immortal sects, some even lacked Core Formation experts.


    -It does seem a bit extravagant. However, The Sect Hierarch Shen Yu said that we don¡¯t need to worry about these two Gold Core experts, we just need to fetch the target person.¡±


    The sunglasses woman slowly buffered the target¡¯s picture that had just been sent on her cellphone, and after she took a look at it, she let her two companions also take a glimpse, then she quickly deleted the photo.


    ¡°Remember it, let¡¯s act separately now. I¡¯ll go to connect with the underground network in the city and check out the target¡¯s whereabouts.¡±


    The bald-headed boy nodded after hearing her words, then called his pre-scheduled supplier to confirm that everything he needed was ready.


    ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll go collect the weapons.¡±


    Only the square-faced teenager was left, he seemed to be searching for something on his phone, and finally found a tourist attraction he wanted to visit.


    -There¡¯s a zoo outside the city. I¡¯m going to kill some time there. Call me when you¡¯re done.¡±


    Hearing this, the woman with sunglasses frowned but, considering his Dao sect, had no choice but to nod.


    ¡°Keep a low profile, don¡¯t draw attention. The main purpose of this mission is


    to train you.¡±


    The square-faced boy¡¯s name was Tuoba Wanyi. Despite his young age, he¡¯s already at the third stage of Foundation Establishment-a figure the Ascension sect is diligently cultivating from amongst its Dao sects.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If there¡¯s no one from the latter stages of Foundation Establishment in this Red Sandstone City, and those two Gold Core experts aren¡¯t going to act, then I¡¯m invincible.¡±


    Even though he¡¯s only at the third stage of Foundation Establishment, Tuoba Wanyi was very confident in his abilities.


    He had previously escaped after a face-to-face fight with a vice-captain of the Heaven Mending Group-who was a sixth-stage Foundation Establishment expert, superior to him by three realms.


    ¡°Never disclose the Ascendance!¡±


    After the three of them said that, they went their separate ways.


    Chen Mobai retracted his finger from Yang ling¡¯s forehead.


    A golden light, strand by strand, opened up to finally form an equilateral rhombus mark, carved into the sea of her consciousness.


    ¡°Done. As long as her Divine Sense realm doesn¡¯t exceed mine, this seal can ensure that she becomes a normal person.¡±


    Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Chen Mobai, with his dedicated focus, easily learned ¡°Tao,¡± fulfilling the promise he¡¯d made to Qing Nu.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    On the side, Kong Feichen, having witnessed this, also gratefully thanked him. ¡°But, I feel like I might reach Foundation Establishment next year. Since I cultivated Twofold Divine Technique, my Divine Sense grows twice as much every time I progress a realm.¡±


    At this time, Yang Jing, who was sitting on the couch, raised a question.


    ¡°Huh, how can you be so certain that you can reach Foundation Establishment next year?¡±


    Chen Mobai was puzzled. He had strived for three years in the Divine Wood Sect just to reach Foundation Establishment, plus his cultivation techniques and resources from the immortal sect. It was only through the combination of both forces that he was able to reach Foundation Establishment at such a young age.


    Even Hing Nu, who had a Heavenly Spiritual Root, didn¡¯t dare to claim she would reach Foundation Establishment next year.


    ¡°Actually, I could have reached Foundation Establishment this year, but I intentionally broke the process of Enlightenment.¡±


    Yang Jing said something that left Chen Mobai speechless.


    Are you even human?


    ¡°Keep suppressing it for now. If you really can¡¯t hold back, I¡¯ll concoct a pill for you to suppress your realm.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°After all, we have ten years in university. Once either of us advances to the second level of Foundation Establishment, you can proceed.¡±


    ¡°We always need to ensure that the realm of one of us is higher than yours.


    This way, we can suppress your second personality.¡±


    Big Sister Qing Nu made the decision, and Yang Jing obediently nodded.


    On the side, Kong Feichen opened his mouth, wanting to say this might be a bit too much..

 Chapter 269 - Chapter 269: Chapter 244: Repairing the Sky Group_2

    Chapter 269: Chapter 244: Repairing the Sky Group_2


    He thought about how both he and Yang Jing belonged to different spiritual roots. The latter had already realized the path, and while he himself had consumed so many foundation establishment spiritual objects, he still faild to establish his foundation. He couldn¡¯t help but feel despondent and could speak no more.


    ¡°Will your doubled divine sense strength benefit my Divine Manipulation Technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai noticed something else and couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Yes, it will be useful. Both the ¡®Divine Manipulation Technique¡¯ and ¡®Twofold Divine Technique¡¯ are modified versions of the ¡®Devour God Technique¡¯.¡± ¡°However, the ¡®Twofold Divine Technique¡¯ was modified in the wrong direction and was classified as a forbidden technique.¡±


    ¡°Whereas the ¡®Divine Manipulation Technique¡¯ is a successful modification. As long as one does not exceed the limit of one¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, every time one has a realm breakthrough, the strength of one¡¯s divine sense can be doubled.¡±


    Yang Jing nodded and cleared up Chen Mobai¡¯s doubts. The latter¡¯s eyes brightened and he immediately sat down to listen attentively.


    However, after listening, he looked somewhat troubled again.


    In the Immortal Sect, the Foundation Establishment stage is divided into nine levels. This means that from the first to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, there would be a total of eight realm breakthroughs, during which the strength of divine sense could be enhanced sixteen times.


    Yet, the issue was that Chen Mobai is currently using the Longevity Sutra to increase his foundation establishment progress.


    This cultivation technique from the Tianhe Realm only has early, middle, and late stages ¨C at most there would be two breakthroughs.


    Although reaching the perfection of foundation establishment is considered a realm, it is actually the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage.


    The part of the Longevity Sutra that relates to reaching the perfection of foundation establishment mostly discusses core formation.


    It seems that he could only think of ways through the Two-Phase Gong and Critical Laws.


    After all, it was too much to expect Chen Mobai to create a technique for the Longevity Sutra for Foundation Establishment stages from the first to ninth levels.


    Although the Void Puppet has the feature of deducing techniques, it can only evolve the technique to be the most suitable for one¡¯s own spiritual-root constitution and can¡¯t create techniques on its own.


    At least it would require an upper level of Core Formation to do so.


    Fortunately, he still has the Pure Yang Scroll as a backup.


    This is a supreme technique that has been revised by the founders of the Immortal Sect. It ranges from the nine levels of Foundation Establishment, the nine levels of the Gold Core stage, to the nine levels of the Nascent Soul stage.


    If he progresses step by step, his divine sense may incredibly reach an unprecedented powerful realm.


    ¡°Remember, your divine sense must not exceed the limit which the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion can tolerate, otherwise, your head will explode and you will die.¡±


    Seeing his strange expression, Yang Jing emphasized again to keep him from going astray.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my purple palace is very empty right now.¡±


    Qing Nu did not tell her younger siblings about the matter of the Green Wood Spirit Heart, therefore, after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing wore strange expressions.


    ¡°The Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew is almost ready, I also need some spiritual extract.¡±


    Qing Nu changed the subject, and Chen Mobai immediately understood, promptly offering to get it from home.


    After ordering Kong Feichen to take good care of Yang Jing, the two of them left and walked towards the Elixir Refining Room of the Treasure Bottle Medicine Shop.


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    ¡°Not at all, I should be the one thanking you. If it wasn¡¯t for you, Yang Jing would definitely have to suffer a lot more.¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head, skillfully crushing the dried spirit stones, and after measuring out the required dosage, poured it into the medicine pool.


    ¡°Oh right, have you ever heard of the Repair Heaven Group?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly asked a question, and Qing Nu frowned and nodded.


    ¡°This is a special power agency under the Dharma Temple. They recruit people from the four major Daoist academies every year. My alchemy skills are pretty good, so I also received an invitation from the fours groups last year, but my tutor helped me reject it. Why, have you also received an invitation?¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded. Three days ago Lan Haitian invited him to join the sixth group of the Repair Heaven Group.


    He explained the benefits; a year¡¯s work in the group is equivalent to ten years for an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. They also receive a full set of Rank-2 magic artifacts, have the right to command law enforcement departments in blessed lands and cave heavens in special circumstances, and even mentioned the annual spirit stone allocation from the Immortal Sect.


    About spirit stones, Chen Mobai sneered inwardly.


    But Lan Haitian also said that the Repair Heaven Group can allocate all resources from the Immortal Sect, such as the sacred medicine for aiding the core formation, ¡°Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill¡±.


    As long as one serves the Repair Heaven Group for sixty years, one can directly receive it.


    This was very tempting to Chen Mobai. Even the Dance Tool Dao Academy could not gather the six hundred and sixty-six types of spirit grasses necessary to brew a batch of ¡°Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill¡±. Only the Immortal Sect could afford to do that.


    Lan Haitian stated that his sole reason for being in the Repair Heaven Group was for a ¡°Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill¡±.


    Now that he was close to serving sixty years, he was looking for a successor. He felt that Chen Mobai was a very good fit, especially seeing his talent for magic duels four years ago during the admission test in the city of Danxia.


    Over the years, as the representative of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, Lan Haitian had watched three admission tests and watched several impressive magic duel videos online. However, everyone seemed immature to him.


    They were not as good as Chen Mobai!


    With generous salary and benefits, plus the promise of a future leadership position and the sacred pill ¡°Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill¡± for core formation, Chen Mobai almost accepted on the spot.


    Luckily, he asked a couple more questions in the end.


    ¡°What does the Repair Heaven Group do?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Well, you must¡¯ve seen the Jinyiwei, Liufanmen, and Dongchang on TV. The functions are basically the same.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately sobered up.


    ¡°Does it involve fighting?¡±


    ¡°Occasionally. The security of the Immortal Sect has improved a lot in recent twenty years. The last time I had to act was in Huayang Cave Heaven two years ago.¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll pass. I¡¯m not good at fighting, let alone fighting against the cultists..¡±

 Chapter 270 - Chapter 270: Chapter 244: Repairing the Sky Group s

    Chapter 270: Chapter 244: Repairing the Sky Group s


    ¡°Suppressing the heretical cult, it is our duty. Even if it¡¯s not for ourselves, we should protect everyone in the Immortal Gate.¡±


    However, as soon as Chen Mobai heard about the fight, he immediately shook his head and refused.


    He held the Tianhe Realm, and now he had another Divine Wood Realm, he was not short of resources, and there was no need to risk fighting with the cultists.


    Although he coveted the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, Chen Mobai had just begun his Foundation Establishment stage. It would be at least decades before he could reach the Core Formation stage. He would think about it then.


    What if his business in the Tianhe Realm became bigger and stronger by then?


    Maybe, he could collect enough Spirit Grass to make a furnace of Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill.


    [Qing Nu, you need to learn Alchemy well.]


    If he were successful in collecting them, Qing Nu would have to be the one refining them. Seeing her busy figure by the medicine pool, he couldn¡¯t help but bewail in his heart.


    ¡°Why are you looking at me? You haven¡¯t answered my question. Which team from the Restoration team invited you?¡±


    ¡°Team Six.¡±


    ¡°Ah, it turns out to be Hell Team Six that kills without blinking, and is always fighting at the most dangerous places.¡±


    Seeing Qing Nu suddenly covering her mouth in surprise, Chen Mobai felt that Lan Haitian was really something. This guy never mentioned that Team Six¡¯s reputation was that bad.


    [As expected, I was right not to join. Stay away from danger and develop secretly.]


    As Chen Mobai thought so, Qing Nu had just completed the extraction of the first bottle of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew.


    In two plastic bottles the size of fingers, filled with clear Spiritual Water, the bottle mouth was shaped like a pen tube, with a round opening. Just twist the cap, aim at the eye, and it will drop the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew.


    He tried it on the spot.


    Chen Mobai felt the cool liquid drip into his eyes. His eyes that had been sore from staring at the flames for a long time suddenly felt refreshing and cool, like a dry land that had been parched for a long time and had finally met a sweet dew.


    The small Green Paulownia seedling grew a green bud in an instant, and the larger one, from which the top flowers and fruits had initially been plucked, seemed to be growing back.


    The second-order Spiritual Water indeed was different.


    Chen Mobai once again activated the ¡°Void Spirit Eye¡± he had exchanged from the Immortal Gate spell library.


    The remaining potency of the ¡°Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew¡± was fully absorbed by his eyes, and his eyes even sent him a signal of hunger.


    It wasn¡¯t until he had dripped six drops that he felt a feeling of saturation in his eyes and stopped.


    ¡°How does it feel?¡±


    Qing Nu asked. Chen Mobai lowered his head and looked at her, then quickly shifted his gaze away with embarrassment.


    ¡°Huh¡­¡±


    Qing Nu was a little confused at first, but then she saw the extra layer of Spiritual Light in his eyes and thinking about Chen Mobai saying that he wanted to cultivate a Spirit Eye, she couldn¡¯t help but think of something.


    She spat and immediately performed a shielding technique.


    ¡°Well, I just practiced it, I haven¡¯t controlled the power well, it won¡¯t happen next time.¡±


    Chen Mobai swore. As soon as he realized something was wrong, he turned his head away immediately. He didn¡¯t see anything.


    He was a gentleman.


    ¡°There are probably about twenty more bottles that can be extracted from the pool. If you don¡¯t use it to improve your Divine Sense and justuse it to cultivate your Spirit Eye, it should be enough for you to use for a year.¡±


    Qing Nu¡¯s cheeks were slightly red, but she deliberately changed the topic.


    Chen Mobai took a sneak peek at her shoulder, he didn¡¯t have to force himself to look through her shielding technique unless he forced himself.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t been able to control it yet, but it will be fine in a couple of days.¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed to his eyes that were still radiating Spiritual Light, and nodded in thanks.


    Drip, drip, drip.


    At this time, Kong Feichen sent a message.


    He and Yang Jing had finished cooking and they were ready to eat.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s eat.¡±


    To reward Chen Mobai for his hard work in sealing, they said they would cook a meal for him personally. Chen Mobai was also very much looking forward to it.


    ¡°Buy a pair of glasses before going back.¡±


    Qing Nu pointed to Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes which were still emitting Spiritual Light and said.


    ¡°I remember there is a glasses store here.¡±


    Chen Mobai followed behind Qing Nu without looking sideways, because he could not see things casually now because his eyes could see too much.


    ¡°Found it.¡±


    When the words of Qing Nu came, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to follow in, a bald teenager with a bag on his back cut in between the two of them.

    The bald teenager didn¡¯t care. After all, there was a three- or four-person gap between Chen Mobai and Qing Nu.


    He was in a hurry to cross the road and went straight through between them.


    But because of this, Chen Mobai saw that in his bag, there was a Gun Magical Weapon that the Immortal Door had banned.


    Chen Mobai casually walked into the glasses shop with Qing Nu and while she enthusiastically helped him choose glasses, he took out his phone and sent a message to Lan Haitian.


    Such a dangerous thing should be left to the professionals to solve..

 Chapter 271 - Chapter 271: Chapter 245: Indestructible Concrete Body 1

    Chapter 271: Chapter 245: Indestructible Concrete Body 1


    [Received]


    Chen Mobai saw the two-word reply from Lan Haitian and felt slightly relieved.


    This guy claimed to be the cultivator closest to Core Formation within the Daoist realm. He was also a top disciple of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute and the leader of some Heaven Repairing Hell Group Six. He should have no problem dealing with a small terrorist, right?


    ¡°Why are you daydreaming? Try these glasses and see how they fit.¡±


    Qing Nu¡¯s voice came over, and Chen Mobai saw a pair of gold-rimmed thin-framed glasses in her hand. They looked like the type worn by successful people.


    Your taste is really good, sir. These glasses were designed using the latest research from the Heavenly Eye Academy. The frame is made of Spiritual Titanium Alloy, and the lenses are synthesized from the latest Spirit Detecting Glass. After wearing them, you can see traces of Spiritual Energy flow and directly measure Spiritual Energy Values.¡±


    In order to make the best sales in the world of cultivation, everything had to be associated with the cultivation of spiritual energy, and the common commodity of glasses was no exception.


    Ordinary glasses could only be used as glasses, but once they became Magic Artifacts, they came with a variety of gimmicks.


    However, not many people would buy them.


    As expected, upon hearing these fancy features, Qing Nu figured they must be expensive and quickly turned them down, opting instead for a pair with no special features, only used for blocking spiritual light.


    But Chen Mobai was stirred ¨C in the world of cultivation, since all spiritual energy was centrally managed, not many people cared about glasses that could observe spiritual energy. But it was different in the Tianhe Realm.


    He could buy a pair.


    The Void Spirit Eye could see things in a small range. If he were to use it to examine the entire sixty acres of the Spirit Field, he would probably exhaust himself to death.


    However, the pair Qing Nu had chosen wouldn¡¯t do ¨C the design was too showy. Even after Qing Nu picked out a silver, semicircular pair, Chen Mobai still shook his head.


    In the end, he chose a pair of black-framed glasses that Qing Nu found extremely unflattering.


    Too ugly.


    Seeing that Qing Nu was somewhat upset, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but buy the two pairs she had liked as well.


    ¡°It¡¯s too wasteful, one pair is enough.¡±


    However, he had just bought three pairs of glasses, and Qing Nu instead reminded him to spend wisely.


    ¡°Next year, I want to delve into the cultivation of Rank-2 Spirit Rice in Agricultural Studies. I need to see the distribution of spiritual energy within the Spirit Field. These glasses will come in handy.¡±


    This was the truth. The sixty acres of Spirit Field beneath Xiao Nanshan, after being painstakingly tilled by Zhuo Ming and a group of laborers under his instruction, had been arranged according to Chen Mobai¡¯s plan, completing the process of cultivating the soil for the coming year.


    But since the field had been neglected for a long time, it had only recovered to a lower-grade Rank-2 level. It needed to go through several cultivation cycles, along with fertilization and maintenance, before it could potentially reach Rank-3.


    Alright then, nothing will happen after you put them on, right?¡±


    Qing Nu didn¡¯t explicitly ask, but Chen Mobai nodded, indicating that the custom black-framed glasses, had successfully blocked his uncontrollable Void Spirit Eye.


    After paying fifty thousand Good Deed Points, the two of them left the glasses store.


    The gold-nmmed glasses that could measure Spiritual Energy Value were the most expensive, equivalent to a middle-grade Rank-1 Magic Artifact.


    Rumble!


    Just as the two were about to take the bus, they suddenly heard a deep thunderous sound.


    ¡°Is it going to rain?¡±


    Looking up at the clear sky, Qing Nu pouted, remarking how fickle the weather was.


    It might just be a thunder strike, not necessarily rain.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly took off his black-framed glasses and put on the gold-nmmed glasses, looking in the direction of the thunderous sound.


    He could see the spiritual energy in the air crazily gathering there.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, the bus is here.¡±


    Qing Nu turned her head and called out to Chen Mobai. Seeing him wearing the pair of glasses she had chosen, she couldn¡¯t help but smile sweetly.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    Chen Mobai had no interest in joining the commotion. He followed Qing Nu onto the bus and left the area.


    Bang!


    Lan Haitian clenched his right fist and slammed the bald youth, who was trying to assault the barrier, heavily into the ground.


    But he immediately withdrew his fist, looking at the red mark on it with a frown, and gently shook it to ease the lingering ache.


    ¡°Golden Stone Nunnery¡¯s Indestructible Concrete Body, are you immobile, or restless?¡±


    Before Lan Haitian could finish speaking, the bald youth he had slammed into the ground suddenly bounced up, and the floating rocks in the sky condensed into a two-meter crisp concrete fist in his palm, swinging hard.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know who I am?¡±


    Lan Haitian looked at the bald youth who dared to attack him, frowned and opened his right hand. His fair and slender fingers lightly pressed down, and the overwhelming Yuan Magnetic Force erupted.


    Boom!


    The huge stone fist swung by the bald youth disintegrated the moment it met


    Lan Haitian¡¯s fingers.


    Immediately after, Lan Haitian¡¯s fair fingers turned from claws to palm, and lightly patted the chest of the bald youth.


    Black streams of energy appeared, spreading over the youth¡¯s body like tattoos, trying to resist Lan Haitian¡¯s palm thrust.

    ¡°Your Indestructible Concrete Body training is not bad, it¡¯s just a pity about the difference in realms.¡±


    Lan Haitian looked at the youth, whose veins stood up on his forehead, his skin was flushed red, and his meridians looked like thick black earthworms, suddenly transformed into a two-meter giant man. Lan Haitian withdrew his fingers and clenched his fist.


    The sound ¡°clang¡± rang out as if a bronze bell was struck.


    The giant man¡¯s Indestructible Golden Body was broken, like a cannonball rebounding from Lan Haitian. After drawing a red, broken trail on the ground, the man spat blood up into the sky.


    ¡°You¡­ Butcher, why¡­ are¡­ you¡­ here?¡±

 Chapter 272 - Chapter 272: Chapter 245: Indestructible Concrete Body_2

    Chapter 272: Chapter 245: Indestructible Concrete Body_2


    He struggled to stand up, but he felt his strength waning along with the blood loss. His originally expanded body slowly shrunk, becoming extremely hunched and thin.


    ¡°Hmm, how should I explain it to you? It¡¯s simply a coincidence, right?¡±


    Lan Haitian stroked his chin, gradually approaching the unmoved one while simultaneously the hazy sky with his footsteps began to shrink, gradually enclosing the two of them.


    ¡°As expected, there are¡­ traitors within¡­the ranks¡­¡±


    Seeing the Yuan Magnet Domain starting to shrink, the unmoved one knew he could no longer escape today. He attempted to rotate his Immortal Body, only to find that in just three moves earlier, Lan Haitian had already shattered every bone and meridian in his body.


    This injury, basically had rendered him useless.


    He only felt that his luck was extremely bad. He had already reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, trained an Immortal Body, within the vast Immortal Gate, there were a few True Cultivators who could render him absolutely defenseless.


    But the person in front of him, is just one of those few.


    ¡°Tell me why you are here, and I will spare your life.¡±


    Lan Haitian arrived in front of the unmoved man and looked directly into his eyes which were bloody due to the rupture of his Immortal Body.


    ¡°Cough cough cough¡­ I won¡¯t be a traitor¡­¡±


    The unmoved man was also quite tough, immediately closing his eyes.


    ¡°Tsk, what a pity, you prefer to suffer.¡±


    Sighing, Lan Haitian reached out his finger and touched the unmoved man¡¯s Dantian Qi Sea, directly crippling his cultivation level.


    Beep beep beep!


    After finishing his job, Lan Haitian called the leader of the third group responsible for extracting memories from the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    ¡°I understand, I¡¯ll send someone over to receive him right away.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Lan Haitian looked down at the unconscious unmoved man and suddenly became curious.


    ¡°Could it be possible, that behind Gu Changfeng¡¯s line, there¡¯s a big catch.¡±


    As he was thinking this way and preparing to search the body for potential leads, sudden warnings erupted in his Divine Sense.


    Yuan Magnetic Force exploded and the unmoved man was abruptly lifted into the air. Six pitch-black dark gold grenades then appeared before his eyes.


    This bastard!


    Lan Haitian cursed angrily, activating the Six Control Sutra with all his might.


    Boom boom boom!


    Chen Mobai, who was dining with Qing Nu and the other two, felt a sudden minor earthquake. He put down his chopsticks and looked in the direction where the spiritual energy was continuously gathering.


    Is this guy capable or not!


    Just when he was contemplating whether or not to call and ask, a text message came in.


    [It¡¯s done]


    It was sent by Lan Haitian, succinct and to the point.


    He really is quite capable.


    Chen Mobai saw the reply and couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    It must be said, the cooking skills of Yang Jing and Kong Feichen were quite good, he had eaten very well.


    According to Qing Nu, when they were in the welfare house, the three of them would secretly sneak into the kitchen and practice their culinary skills.


    ¡°By the way, I found two alchemy formulas in an ancient book in the Dance Tool Dao Academy Library, I don¡¯t know if we can improve them, what do you think?¡±


    After eating, Chen Mobai sat with Qing Nu on the sofa while Kong Feichen and Yang Jing were cleaning up the dishes.


    ¡°Hundred Herb Elixir, Restoring God Soup?¡±


    Qing Nu looked at the two formulas that Chen Mobai had sent over very seriously.


    ¡°The formula is fine, but the materials are a bit wasted, these seven herbs can be replaced by¡­¡±


    These two formulas from the Classic of Materia Medica, Chen Mobai planned to prepare them for his disciples.


    Liu Wenbo has his family¡¯s support, hence it¡¯s almost certain that he would be recognized as a true disciple once the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms mature. But it¡¯s a bit harder for Zhuo Ming, as she herself had her eyes set on the next but one batch.


    But Chen Mobai feels that since he took her as a disciple and made her change her cultivation technique, which will delay her cultivation progress as she would be administering the sixty acres of Spirit Field at Xiao Nanshan in the future, hence it¡¯s necessary to compensate her.


    He didn¡¯t want to get the Immortal Gate¡¯s elixirs over to the Tianhe Realm. Moreover, even if they did have elixirs, they only dared to eat the ones they recognized the branding, so even if a new elixir or spirit water was suddenly produced and claimed as unique, no one would dare try.


    This is because every alchemist would claim that the elixir they concocted is unique.


    So, Chen Mobai thought to incorporate the techniques from the Immortal Gate side to improve the Hundred Herb Elixir and Restoring God Soup, and then train another alchemist in the Tianhe Realm.


    This was to lay the foundation for him collecting elixirs for his Jade Return Pill from spirit grasses and spiritual medicine in the future.


    After all, if he himself didn¡¯t practice alchemy but occasionally bought spirit grass for cultivation, it would easily raise suspicions with time.


    However, Zhuo Ming had already taken over the responsibility of his farming, wouldn¡¯t it be a bit too much to also assign her the task of alchemy?


    As Chen Mobai was thinking of this, Zhuo Ming who was at the Tianhe Realm selecting rice varieties, suddenly sneezed out of nowhere.


    She unconcernedly wiped her nose and continued to pick out the good rice grains for planting, and began to water the nursery.


    ¡°The unmoved one is dead.¡±


    The woman in sunglasses and Tuoba Wanyi met in a closed stairwell in the mall, their faces grave.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Isn¡¯t there a word that Red Robed Man and Shi Qing will not make a move?¡±


    Tuoba Wanyi frowned, he knew the unmoved man¡¯s capability. In Red Sandstone City, aside from the two Gold Core True Men, no one could kill this high-ranking disciple of the Gold Stone Nunnery.


    ¡°It isn¡¯t them.¡±


    ¡°Then who? The Sky Patch Group?¡±


    ¡°The covert operation has not yet obtained information, but since the unmoved one is dead, our mission might have been exposed..¡±

    Chapter 273: Chapter 245 ¨C Indestructible Concrete


    Body_3


    After the woman in sunglasses finished speaking, she ignited a talisman.


    This was the only Descending God Talisman she had to contact the Divine Manipulation Hierarch. Although she felt it was a bit of a waste, she decided to use it for caution¡¯s sake.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    A silver flame rose after the talisman was completely burned, transforming into a silver fire ring two meters in size, resembling a round mirror, revealing a vague figure holding a seven-color treasure tree.


    ¡°Greetings to the Divine Manipulation Hierarch¡­¡±


    After the woman in the sunglasses finished explaining the situation, the Divine Manipulation Hierarch let out a sound of acknowledgment.


    ¡°Please guide us on how to proceed next, Divine Manipulation Hierarch!¡±


    Tuoba Wanyi stealthily glanced at this Vice Sect Hierarch of the renowned Ascension Sect, known as the Divine Manipulation Hierarch who is said to have devoured a god.


    ¡°I have a hidden card, which I originally didn¡¯t plan to use.¡±


    The Divine Manipulation Hierarch spun around as he spoke, stretching forth a finger which passed through the silver fire ring and landed on the eyebrow of the woman in sunglasses, lightly tapping it.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    After leaving his last words, a gentle breeze blew by, and the silver sparks swiftly extinguished, as beautiful and brilliant as fireworks.


    ¡°Thank you, Divine Manipulation Hierarch.¡±


    The woman in sunglasses raised her head, and a silver flame mark was now apparent between her snowy white brows.


    Tuoba Wanyi could feel that the already powerful woman seemed to have exceeded the limits, reaching a terrifying realm that he couldn¡¯t comprehend.


    ¡°What did you receive?¡±


    He could not help but ask.


    ¡°A formidable power, with this mark, I can have unrivaled strength below the Gold Core, as long as I don¡¯t come across the strongest Foundation Establishment power like Lan Haitian from the Immortal Sect, I have confidence that I can emerge victorious.¡±


    The stunning face of the woman in sunglasses radiated an unprecedented aura of confidence. Tuoba Wanyi¡¯s face showed a hint of envy, but he consoled himself that such strength was illusory and unstable at its roots.


    ¡°We¡¯ve identified the person, let¡¯s finish this quickly.¡±


    Having said that, the two of them disappeared on the spot.


    At night, Evergreen Pharmacy.


    As soon as Chen Mobai flew in, he saw that Lan Haitian was already waiting.


    ¡°What¡¯s the origin of that terrorist?¡±


    ¡°A follower from the Ascension Sect, a descendant from the ancient path of Gold Stone Nunnery, their dharma name is ¡®Immovable.¡¯


    ¡°Is he powerful?¡±


    ¡°At the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, he has also trained the Indestructible Concrete Body, previously matched the vice-captain of the seventh team for three hundred moves without winning or losing.¡±


    ¡°Why would such a shocking character come to Red Sandstone City?¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s question, Lan Haitian¡¯s forehead furrowed. All his emphasis on the strength of Immovable was to showcase his own power in defeating the opponent in just three moves.


    But Chen Mobai did not finish his question, which left Lan Haitian feeling a bit choked.


    ¡°I originally wanted to extract information from his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, but he self-destructed using six Geng Metal Hand Grenades.¡±


    ¡°But I traced his journey, there were three people in total that exited the train station.¡±


    ¡°I have identified the locations of the other two as well. Tonight, I will deal with all of them.¡±


    When Lan Haitian mentioned this, his tone was relaxed, as if it was as simple as going for a meal.


    ¡°Well, thanks for your hard work.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not take the bait, leaving only those words behind before flying away.


    ¡°Wait, don¡¯t you want to see the dark world hidden within the Immortal Sect?¡±


    ¡°With me taking action, your safety is assured.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Not everyone has this opportunity.¡±


    As soon as Lan Haitian finished speaking, Chen Mobai was already out of sight.


    When he arrived home, he chatted with Yan Bingxuan for a while, then he started cultivating the Four Yang Body with a Spirit Stone in one hand, and in the other hand, he released the Qingyang Fire Seed, using the Pure Qing Technique to enhance the power of the fire seed.


    The skill of multitasking was taught to him by the Admiring Landscape Sect, this perfectly matched his current level of Divine Manipulation Technique ¨C Dividing Mind into Thoughts, and he picked it up immediately.


    With his unwavering Dao heart, Chen Mobai was entirely unswayed by any temptations. He stayed true to his heart and continued improving his strength in his own way..

 Chapter 274 - Chapter 274: Chapter 246: One Sword_l

    Chapter 274: Chapter 246: One Sword_l


    Lan Haitian stood on the rooftop of a high-rise building, looking down at the murky sunglasses woman and Tuoba Wanyi walking along the streets below, an inexplicable smile playing on his face.


    ¡°Are those two the ones?¡± he asked.


    He turned and posed the question to a middle-aged man who was bound by


    Yuan Magnetic Force and collapsed on the roofs concrete.


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes, she was the one who contacted me.


    The middle-aged man was the leader of Ascension Sect in Red Sandstone City.


    He had located the target as requested by the woman in sunglasses.


    However, he had no idea that he would be captured by Lan Haitian that very night.


    His job was gathering intelligence, not combat. Just thinking about Lan Haitian¡¯s fearsome reputation terrified him enough to confess everything.


    ¡°Hmm, I didn¡¯t expect it to be her.¡±


    Lan Haitian looked down at the woman wearing dark sunglasses who was slowly walking towards the apartment building in the early morning, and could not help but express his amazement.


    ¡°Group Leader Lan, is it too late for me to abandon the dark and embrace the light?¡±


    The middle-aged man, pinned to the rooftop by the Yuan Magnetic Force, cautiously posed the question.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m very merciful. Basically, as long as you don¡¯t resist, I¡¯ll spare my opponents¡¯ lives,¡± said Lan Haitian with a smile. Yet this only frightened the middle-aged man more, as he trembled with sweat soaking his clothes.


    ¡°Group Leader Lan, please spare me!¡±


    Bang!


    Finding the man too annoying, Lan Haitian knocked him out.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Downstairs, the woman in sunglasses seemed to hear something and looked up


    at the sky.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Nothing, just suddenly feeling a little oppressed.¡±


    She clutched her chest, following Tuoba Wanyi into the elevator.


    Soon after, Qing Nu¡¯s screams and Kong Feichen¡¯s furious shouts could be heard.


    But under the suppression of two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, even if they were geniuses, they had no chance of breaking free.


    ¡°Good, it¡¯s confirmed it¡¯s a Dark Spirit Root.


    The woman in sunglasses held Yang Jing down, drew a drop of blood from her fingertip for testing, and gave a satisfied nod.


    ¡°What about these two? Shall we kill them?


    Tuoba Wanyi¡¯s right hand shot out white spider-silk, bundling Qing Nu and Kong Feichen into two white cocoons, hanging upside down from the ceiling. -We aren¡¯t the crazy ones from the Heretical Cult. We don¡¯t need to cut off new disciples¡¯ worldly ties.¡±


    Shaking her head, the woman in sunglasses made her way to the door.


    Despite Yang Jing¡¯s struggles, it was as if she had been picked up by an invisible person. The woman in sunglasses reached out a finger and touched Yang Jing s slender, white throat, causing her to fall unconscious.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Set up your spider silk to bind them for three days.¡±


    Three days would be enough time for them to escape the territory of the sect with Yang Jing in tow.


    ¡°This is a nuisance.¡±


    Tuoba Wanyi clicked his tongue.


    Even so, he flicked his palm and two balls of spider silk shot out, cocooning


    Qing Nu and Kong Feichen, whose heads were previously visible.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to make a move?¡±


    A slightly magnetic female voice sounded next to Lan Haitian ¨C as if an invisible figure was standing there.


    ¡°I was originally planning to, but my Dao-heart is giving me a warning.¡¯ ¡°Oh, is there a Core Formation Cultist from the Heretical Sect lurking in the shadows?¡±


    ¡°Whether there is or not, a little probing will reveal the truth.¡±


    Lan Haitian watched the woman in sunglasses and Tuoba Wanyi leaving the lobby on the first floor with Yang Jing in tow. A mysterious smile graced his features.


    -The same old rules. I¡¯ll handle the weaker one, and you take care of the


    stronger one.¡±


    ¡°No, don¡¯t make a move this time.¡±


    Lan Haitian said something that bewildered the hidden figure.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡ö¡öI just feel that the duo from the Ascension Sect picked an excellent target,¡± Lan Haitian replied, taking off a button from his sleeve as he smiled.


    He jumped down from the rooftop, abruptly dropping over thirty meters. He hovered outside the window of Qing Nu¡¯s apartment, flinging the button. The spider silk that was originally supposed to bind Qing Nu and Kong Feichen for three days suddenly dimmed.


    ¡ö¡öWhat¡¯s the purpose of doing this?¡± asked the female voice.


    Lan Haitian laughed and replied with a phrase that confused her further,


    ¡°It can make someone who doesn¡¯t want to act, act.


    Beep,beep,beep!


    In the dead of night, Chen Mobai was cultivating his Pure Yang Daoist body and Qingyang Fire Seed, contemplating whether he could utilize Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s spells to control Qingyang Fire. Suddenly, he heard the ring of his phone.


    ¡°Who could it be at this late hour? A prank call?¡±


    just as he was about to hang up, he noticed the name of the caller.


    Qing Nu!


    What¡¯s wrong?


    He picked up immediately.


    ¡°What, Yang Jing was taken by two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators?¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but hearing Qing Nu¡¯s tearful voice, he could no longer remain detached.


    ¡°Stay at home and wait for me, I¡¯m on my way!¡±


    Having said that, he grabbed his storage bag and jumped out of his room¡¯s window.


    The Sect had rules prohibiting cultivators from flying over the 36 Cave-Heavens and 72 Blessed Lands.

    However, moving along rooftops was not prohibited.


    As Chen Mobai rushed towards Qing Nu¡¯s apartment, he called Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Hello!¡±


    ¡°Two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators have taken one of my friends. I suspect it¡¯s the doing of people from Ascension Sect.


    ¡ö¡öOh, that¡¯s a major incident, but I¡¯m currently chasing after the two companions of that Gold Stone Nunnery disciple from this afternoon. 1 can¡¯t leave..¡±

 Chapter 275 - Chapter 275: Chapter 246 – One Sword_2

    Chapter 275: Chapter 246 ¨C One Sword_2


    ¡ö¡¯Weren¡¯t you supposed to be capable, how come those two have been killing for


    so long?¡±


    There was a hint of doubt in Chen Mobai¡¯s tone. Considering what Qing Women said about two people carrying Yang Jing away, a thought flashed through his mind abruptly.


    ¡°You, you weren¡¯t just standing by watching this whole thing happen, were


    you?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t just shoot off your mouth. I was busy trying to kill the cultists. As powerful as I am, I¡¯m only one person. I killed one of them, but the other one managed to escape. I¡¯m not good at tracking, so it has taken me this long.¡± Lan Haitian immediately denied it. Chen Mobai had no evidence to further accuse him, and after all, he needed Lan¡¯s help.


    ¡°Could you come help me first?¡±


    ¡°That doesn¡¯t work, the members of the Ascension Sect are all fanatics. I¡¯m afraid that the other one who escaped might hurt the public. I should continue to seek him out and eliminate him.¡±


    -The individual on my side could also be a cultist. We have known each other


    for some time, aren¡¯t you going to help me out?¡±


    Chen Mobai could only play the emotional card. Although he had reached the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission and acquired the Qingyang Fire Seed, and Meng Hong stated that he could fight anyone bar later stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Yang Jing was kidnapped by two True Cultivators in Foundation Establishment stage.


    What if they were higher-level cultists in the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment stage or above?


    To ensure safety, it would be wise to get Lan Haitian, a well-known figure, involved.


    ¡°So, about joining the Sky Patching Group ¡­¡±


    From the other end of the call came Lan Haitian¡¯s tactful proposal. Chen


    Mobai¡¯s eyebrows twitched as he weighed his options.


    ¡°There¡¯s always an interview process for joining a group. I haven¡¯t seen the awesomeness of the Sky Patching Group yet, so you should give me a chance to broaden my horizons.¡±


    Lan Haitian hung up the phone with a speechless expression on his face.


    ¡°Is this kid really worth all the trouble you¡¯re going through?¡±


    A feminine, magnetic voice sounded again, laced with bewilderment.


    ¡°When I retire, the higher-ups are likely to appoint you as the leader of the sixth team. He¡¯s meant to be your deputy.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Is he as outstanding as me?¡±


    ¡°In terms of killing, probably not as good as you. But when it comes to the talent for magic duels, he is almost on par with me.


    Lan Haitian¡¯s words left the unseen woman silent.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it!¡±


    After quite a while, this phrase echoed in the empty air.


    ¡°He¡¯s here.¡±


    Lan Haitian watched as a dark shadow leaped across several tall buildings onto the rooftop, covering his body and erasing his presence from the rooftop.


    Chen Mobai rushed into Qing Women¡¯s room and saw the two yet enwrapped in the snow white spider silk cocoon. Qing Women had managed to get her head half-free.


    In the humming of swords,


    Two scarlet sword energies sliced through the cocoon.


    immediately thereafter, the snow white spider silk, which neither Qing Women nor Kong Feichen could snap with their full spiritual power, was dyed in the flame of the sword energy, glowed red, and disintegrated into fragments.


    In the blink of an eye, it fell to pieces.


    Chen Mobai caught Qing Women as she fell from the split-open cocoon, while Kong Feichen crashed heavily onto the floor.


    ¡°Do you have a way to track down Yang Jing?¡±


    ¡°Her phone¡¯s probably been located. Let me try.


    Qing Women, pale-faced, took out her own phone, but found that Yang Jing¡¯s phone had been left at the door.


    ¡°What about the Aura Chain Technique and the Bloodline Curse?¡±


    Chen Mobai then remembered these tracking spells from the immortal gate.


    The blood of relatives, objects used by the missing person, all could be used for tracking.


    ¡°The Bloodline Curse won¡¯t work. We don¡¯t share a blood relation.


    Kong Feichen spoke up, producing a rag doll from the couch.


    ¡°This is her favourite. You can try the ¡®Aura Chain Technique¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, then opened the immortal gate¡¯s spell library and immediately downloaded the tracking spell.


    ¡°Judging from your situation, the enemy would have long fled by the time you learned the spell.¡±


    Lan Haitian¡¯s voice came from outside the window, giving Qing Women and Kong Feichen a scare. Kong Feichen even instinctively activated the Wind Blade Technique, but it was easily crushed by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°He¡¯s a friend I asked to help.¡±


    ¡°I asked the Sky-Patching Team to check the local sky-eye cameras, and they found footage of them leaving.¡±


    ¡°Take me with you!¡±


    Kong Feichen rushed to the window, right in front of Lan Haitian, and pleaded with wide eyes.


    ¡°You two are too weak.¡±


    Lan Haitian shook his head and pointed at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°There are two of them, and two of us. That s enough.


    At this point, Chen Mobai also found himself backed into a corner,


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    He came to the window, preparing to leave with Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Please, you need to bring her back.¡±


    Kong Feichen implored both of them solemnly.


    Chen Mobai looked at Qing Women, whose eyes were filled with hope and worry. She wanted her sister to return safely, but was also concerned about the dangers Chen Mobai might face. Eventually, this translated into a single sentence,


    ¡°Both of you must return safely.¡±


    ¡°You take care of her, we¡¯ll be right back.¡±


    After instructing Kong Feichen, Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian disappeared from the window.


    ¡°I thought you couldn¡¯t fly?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As Lan Haitian¡¯s Yuan Magnetic Force carried them, they flew through the sky towards the suburbs.


    ¡°We are the Sky Patching Group. In special circumstances, we can ignore some of the immortal gate¡¯s rules. We only need to submit a report afterward.¡±


    Lan Haitian said nonchalantly.


    ¡°Tell me the truth, our opponents are those two Ascension Sect disciples who came to Danxia City with the bald guy, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked..

 Chapter 276 - Chapter 276: Chapter 246: One Sword_3

    Chapter 276: Chapter 246: One Sword_3


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that, but I can assure you that I did catch a cultist from the


    Ascension Sect today.¡±


    [Even though that spy was a bit weak, he was indeed a genuine cultist.]


    Lan Haitian was careful with his words.


    ¡°Thank you for helping me.¡±


    Seeing that he couldn¡¯t get any more information, Chen Mobai could only express his gratitude first.


    ¡°About joining the Restoring Heaven Team¡­¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s discuss it after we bring back Yang Jing. I¡¯ll consider it.


    Chen Mobai continued to dangle the bait, while Lan Haitian did not press too hard. After all, as long as Chen Mobai began to consider it, there was a possibility of success.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to speed up.¡±


    He intended to display his strength. With the full explosion of the Yuan Magnetic Force, Chen Mobai could feel the buildings and streets beneath them blur, leaving a trail of afterimages.


    in merely three minutes, Lan Haitian had left Red Sandstone City with two people.


    Then there was a streak of rapid movement, as if the earth was propelling them forward, and within half an hour, they saw two figures flying in the sky.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take the initiative to rescue the hostage. You are responsible for providing support and protection. They will definitely scatter and run when they see me. You don¡¯t need to chase, just protect yourself and the hostage.¡±


    Lan Haitian simply stated the tactics, and Chen Mobai felt for a moment as if the vast earth was waking up, with the earth trembling in sync with the breathing of the leader of the Restoring Heaven Team.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!¡±


    The two figures in mid-air turned their heads to look. The woman in sunglasses felt a portion of her Divine Sense being severed, and Yang Jing, whom she previously had control over, suddenly became uncontrollable.


    It seemed like instant teleportation, as Chen Mobai saw Yang Jing, who had disappeared from the woman in sunglasses, fall from the empty space in front of him. Chen Mobai quickly stretched out his hands to catch him.


    ¡°What kind of spell is this? A pickpocket¡¯s trick?¡±


    Lan Haitian, who planned to showcase his Foundation Establishment¡¯s top strength, nearly lost control of his breath when he heard Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    He sensed his vice leader¡¯s anger.


    Using a thief¡¯s term to describe her proud unique technique.


    ¡°Damn, it¡¯s Lan Haitian. Why is he here?¡±


    The woman in sunglasses who was angry turned her head and saw Lan Haitian, the one man from the Daoist Academy that she wasn¡¯t sure she could defeat, her face turned pale.


    ¡°You have the imprint of the Master of Divine Mastery. How far can you fight


    with Lan Haitian?¡±


    Tuoba Wanyi suddenly asked beside her.


    ¡°Although I don¡¯t have confidence of defeating him, I can definitely escape.


    The woman in sunglasses was a master at the 7th tier of Foundation Establishment. After receiving the technique transfer from the Master of Divine Mastery, she could elevate her secret technique to the Core Formation level.


    If her opponent was another Foundation Establishment level opponent, even if it was Qiongzhi Fairy from the Nature Studies Academy, she was confident she could defeat them.


    But only Lan Haitian!


    This was a magical combat genius who had practiced one of the Six Commands and formed a Gold Core Domain before reaching Core Formation.


    However, even though she may not be able to defeat him, she felt she could hold him off.


    ¡°I will kill that lad and grab the target before escaping. Before I disappear, do your best to hold off Lan Haitian.¡±


    Tuoba Wanyi said this, waved his hands, and transformed into wings. He turned into a streak of black light and rushed towards Chen Mobai who held Yang Jing in his arms.


    ¡°Agreed, even if it costs my life, I will hold off Lan Haitian!¡±


    After formulating the battle plan, the woman took off her sunglasses, revealing a terrifying pair of eyes with only an iris and no pupil.


    ¡°The will of heaven is with me!¡±


    She executed her supreme technique, and in an instant, the sky flashed and thundered, the stormy winds roared around her, as if she was the master of everything, the living will of heaven and earth!


    ¡°Oh, you think you can block me?¡±


    Lan Haitian himself was still a hundred meters away, but in the blink of an eye, he found himself pulled into the illusion.


    ¡°You¡¯ve become the Heart Demon of many in our Ascension Sect. If I can drag you down into the abyss with this life of mine, I will die a worthy death!¡± After saying this, the silver flame mark on the woman with only whites in her eyes began burning fiercely, and her aura escalated moment by moment. Peak of the 7th tier of Foundation Establishment, 8th tier of Foundation Establishment, 9th tier of Foundation Establishment, Perfection of Foundation Establishment¡­


    Next, there was even a dazzling Gold Core brilliance emanating from her Dantian Qi Sea, and the frantic scene around her multiplied in its intensity, gushing towards Lan Haitian like the end of the world.


    ¡°This is a bit troublesome. If I don¡¯t try my best, I might not be able to defeat her.¡±


    Upon seeing the state of his opponent, Lan Haitian couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly.


    Once he had to go all out, he wouldn¡¯t be able to hold off reaching the Core Formation stage, and might have to retire from the Restoring Heaven Team ahead of schedule.


    ¡°Do you need my help?¡±


    Hearing the Vice Leader¡¯s voice in his ear, Lan Haitian glanced at Tuoba Wanyi who had turned his arms into wings and his legs into giant claws, he sighed slightly.


    ¡°Stay near and protect him, step in when he can¡¯t keep up. I might not be able to take care of you guys.¡±


    Lan Haitian initially thought his trip to Red Sandstone City was a vacation. Unexpectedly, it ended up being the push he needed to reach the Core Formation stage.


    ¡°If I step in, your lie will be exposed.¡±


    ¡°Well, there¡¯s no other way. I can¡¯t just watch him get killed by cultists, right?¡±


    Lan Haitian sighed, he was no longer uncertain.


    He closed his eyes momentarily, then opened them again.


    With a resounding roar, the illusion was pierced and torn apart by his gaze.

    The most powerful technique of Kunpeng Daoist Academy¡¯s dominance over thirty-six blessed lands, the Six Commandments, was about to be executed. Just then, a brilliantly blinding purple Sword Light rose into the sky not far away. Quietly cracking open the vast sky, the rain and thunderstorm, frost and chilly winds under this purple Sword Light were all somewhat dispersed and half melted.


    All three turned their heads simultaneously to see Chen Mobai holding the now conscious Yang Jing in his left hand, and reinserting a wooden hairpin into his hair with his right hand.


    In front of him, a purple flame Sword Light split Tuoba Wanyi from his brow to his chest, slowly burning him from the inside, splitting his body in two, and turning him into two burning torches. He fell from the sky in disbelief. However, before he even hit the ground, he was turned to ash by the purple flames and scattered by the violent winds.


    ¡°Should I help?¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, feeling bad about doing nothing, and asked Lan Haitian, who seemed to be about to begin a fierce battle not too far away..

 Chapter 277 - Chapter 277: Chapter 247: Ambition of the Bird_l

    Chapter 277: Chapter 247: Ambition of the Bird_l


    The people present fell silent in an instant.


    Although Lan Haitian knew that Chen Mobai was a naturally born battle immortal, with amazing skills in magic duels, in his understanding, the latter had not yet experienced a Foundation Establishment level battle. He would need to join the Repair Group, go out on a few missions, and then be eligible to be promoted to a member of the six groups.


    However, the current situation was greatly unexpected.


    That guy, the sword just now was ¡°Sword Light¡±, right?


    Isn¡¯t he just at the Foundation Establishment stage?


    How many years has it been since a cultivator at the first level of Foundation Establishment has comprehended such a sword cultivation realm?


    It must have been a thousand years, right!


    ¡°Or, you should do it for another ten or twenty years, and after you retire, let him be the team leader, I can be the vice team leader.¡±


    Hearing the tentative words from his vice captain, Lan Haitian could not help but chuckle.


    Suddenly, the woman from the Ascension Sect who had been eager to fight, once witnessing Chen Mobai¡¯s instant kill of Tuoba Wanyi, didn¡¯t hesitate any more.


    With a sudden sound.


    She instantly transformed into a silver current and shot away toward the sea.


    ¡°She ran away. Shall we chase?¡±


    As the feminine voice sounded in his ears, Lan Haitian nodded and glanced at Chen Mobai, signaling her to deal with things below.


    ¡°After all, she¡¯s a Cultist, and while I scared her, I still need to see her leave the Sects¡¯ territory with my own eyes before I can be at ease.¡±


    After saying that, Lan Haitian followed the silver current using the Yuan Magnetic Force.


    Chen Mobai saw the two who had a powerful aura and whose confrontation was so intense that it caused an upheaval in the heavens and earth and turned them into a thunderstorm suddenly disappeared before his eyes. He couldn¡¯t help scratching his head.


    [They must be afraid that the aftermath of the battle would hurt us, so they want to have a great fight; that¡¯s why they went offshore to a barren land.]


    While he was thinking about this, a pair of soft arms hugged his neck, and a warm breath hit his face.


    ¡°Brother in law, you¡¯re amazing!¡±


    On Yang Jing¡¯s pale cheeks was a hint of pink, her eyes were wide open, and she looked relieved to have survived, hugging Chen Mobai tightly with all her might.


    She woke up just in time to see Chen Mobai draw out his hairpin, strike casually in the air, and cut the half-beast monster that easily restrained Qing Nu and Kong Feichen in two with a single sword.


    Girls always idolize heroes.


    But Yang Jing¡¯s experience as a child made her turn into a snake and hide in the shadows.


    Today, the invincible posture of Chen Mobai¡¯s one-sword kill rekindled the warm breath of life in her frozen heart.


    She felt a warm current flowing all over her body, causing her to tremble.


    The deep purple Sword Light, in the moment it killed the enemy, seemed to break the shell that had confined her for over twenty years, allowing her to feel an emotion called excitement once again.


    This was the first time Chen Mobai had been this close to a girl. Although Yang Jing usually liked to wear hats, long sleeves, and long pants, wrapping herself tightly, she was actually a very beautiful girl.


    Feeling the softness and fullness against him, he realized that Yang Jing¡¯s figure was much more attractive than Qing Nu¡¯s.


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, Qing Nu and I are just good friends.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he immediately let go of his left hand that was hugging Yang Jing¡¯s slender waist, signaling her that the danger was over and she could come down.


    ¡°Brother-in-law, I can¡¯t fly.¡±


    Yang Jing, however, was unwilling to let go, but she was a little shy after all. She let her legs, which were wrapped around Chen Mobai, loose, and leaned in his arms, hugging his neck tightly.


    Chen Mobai also reacted. After all, she hadn¡¯t reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and his cultivation level was not enough either. He couldn¡¯t fly with spiritual power like Lan Haitian, so he could only let Yang Jing hang around his neck.


    ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re okay. Qing Nu is worried about you. Call her first to tell her you¡¯re safe.¡±


    At these words, Yang Jing finally came to her senses. She held onto Chen Mobai¡¯s neck with one hand and took the phone with the other to dial the number she knew by heart.


    The two sisters talked on the phone, and there was more crying. Qing Nu on the other end of the phone kept thanking Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I just made a little effort, it¡¯s nothing to be mentioned.¡±


    Chen Mobai said these words sincerely. He didn¡¯t mention that he easily killed the ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. As for the woman with white eyes who could stand against Lan Haitian and caused a great upheaval, he was definitely no match for her.


    He felt that if he hadn¡¯t brought Lan Haitian, a notorious guy, they would have been able to save their lives at most when facing these two cultists from the Ascension Sect.


    There was no way he could have saved Yang Jing.


    [Brother-in-law is so strong, yet so humble. My sister is so lucky.]


    When Yang Jing returned the phone to Chen Mobai, this was what she was thinking.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait here for a while.¡±


    After thinking about it, Chen Mobai felt that it wasn¡¯t very appropriate to go back like this. After all, Lan Haitian came over to help. They had to wait at least until dawn.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Moreover, although it was self-defense just now.


    But they did kill people after all.


    This was in the Sect. They didn¡¯t know how to handle it.


    He wanted to ask Lan Haitian.


    The deputy team leader of the sixth group, who was hiding not far away, thought it unnecessary for Chen Mobai to waste time like this. After all, they didn¡¯t know when the team leader would come back from driving away the man from the Ascension Sect..

 Chapter 278 - Chapter 278: Chapter 247 Aspiration of the Flying Bird_2

    Chapter 278: Chapter 247 Aspiration of the Flying Bird_2


    Ding ding ding!


    At this moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s phone rang.


    He thought it was Qing Nu calling again due to her worry, but it turned out to


    be Lan Haitian¡¯s.


    ¡°You guys go back first, I¡¯ll probably take a few more days before I can come back.¡±


    Is this guy that powerful?


    He can still send text messages while fighting?


    Chen Mobai was shocked, feeling that he had underestimated the power of cultivators at the peak of Foundation Establishment realm. Indeed, there were many areas where he needed improvement.


    To avoid distracting Lan Haitian during his peak battle with the powerful opponent, he didn¡¯t reply the text, planning to discuss in more detail upon the latter¡¯s return.


    However, at this moment, Chen Mobai realized that he had begun to slacken off since reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.


    It seemed that his dream from childhood had been realized and he had lost some motivation.


    Then let¡¯s set another small goal!


    Strive to reach Lan Haitian¡¯s realm as soon as possible!


    Reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment realm would allow him to perfectly harness the most powerful state of the Sword Rainbow Fission technique. By then, should he encounter formidable opponents like the white-eyed woman from the Ascension Sect again, he would be able to fight side by side with Lan Haitian!


    Chen Mobai, who didn¡¯t want to become a burden, secretly made up his mind.


    ¡°Hold on tight, I¡¯ll take you home.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Jing immediately clung on tighter, with her slender legs looking as though they were ready to spring up. But Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze stopped her, and embarrassed, she lowered her head.


    Watching the two disappear, a short, gray-haired female figure appeared in mid-air. She had snow-white skin and brown eyes, but wore a black mask over the lower half of her face, making it difficult to make out her features.


    Behind her head, a right hand appeared clutching a cell phone.


    It was indeed her who had logged into Lan Haitian¡¯s number and sent Chen


    Mobai a message to return first.


    It was a bizarre sight, a solitary head and arm floating in mid-air. It could be mistaken for some practitioner of a forbidden technique that allows for airborne corpses.


    ¡°Where does our group leader find such monsters!


    Lin Yin, as the deputy leader of the Sky Patching Team Six and a veteran of countless battles, found this particularly dangerous. His most dangerous battle was against an evil sword cultivator of the Ascension Sect. The latter, while fighting Lan Haitian, exhibited the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission, splitting a streak of sword light toward her.


    It was this very streak of sword light that almost caught her off guard, almost separating her body into two halves, just like what almost happened to Tuoba Wanyi.


    Just at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai has managed to manipulate the Sword Rainbow Fission. He couldn¡¯t simply be described as a genius anymore!


    ¡°Monster¡± would be a more accurate term!


    But this was better in a way, at least it ensured the leader of Team Six was always a ¡°monster¡±.


    Lin Yin was completely unaware that Chen Mobai had no intention of joining the Sky Patching Team.


    By the time Chen Mobai and Yang Jing returned to Red Sandstone City without


    Lan Haitian¡¯s Yuan Magnetic Force assistance, it was almost dawn.


    After reaching the apartment, the sight of Qing Nu and the Yang sisters embracing was such a beautiful scene that Chen Mobai and Kong Feichen made their way to the balcony.


    ¡°Thank you, I owe you my life.¡±


    On the balcony, Kong Feichen earnestly spoke to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°It was nothing more than a lift of a hand.¡±


    Chen Mobai waved his hand, indicating that he didn¡¯t need to be so serious about it.


    ¡°Do you want to know the story of the three of us?


    At this moment, Kong Feichen suddenly asked.


    Well, since you¡¯ve brought it up, I am a bit curious.


    Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.


    The two of them sat on the small sofa on the balcony, Kong Feichen opened a bottle of beer, and began his story as he drank.


    ¡°The three of us grew up together in a laboratory. There were hundreds of children like us, and from the moment we became conscious, each of us was shut inside room-size boxes like bugs.¡±


    ¡°Every once in a while, someone would be taken out to undergo all sorts of experiments. Some kids never came back once they left.¡±


    ¡°As you may have guessed, the purpose of those experiments was to create superior Spiritual Roots. We are their most successful experiments.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned. These stories, which he had only seen on television, actually existed in reality?


    Kong Feichen lifted his sleeve, revealing a dark tattoo on his chest: [E2] ¡°I am a second-level Spiritual Root. As it turned out, our experiments were exposed, and a bunch of people from the Immortal Sect came to clean up.¡± ¡°The three of us were then sent to a welfare institute in Red Sandstone City.¡± ¡°But before we left the lab, we were all cursed with a mark that prevents us from talking about anything happening there.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt very strange.


    ¡°Then how are you able to tell me?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t spend my years at the Imperial Medical Academy in vain. I unsealed it when I was in the stage of Foundation Establishment, but because of this, I failed.¡±


    ¡°No wonder, despite your talent, and us providing you with so many spiritual objects, you still haven¡¯t successfully establish your foundation.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai seemed to understand, it finally answered one of the questions in his heart.


    ¡°There is another thing, even my sister and Yang Jing don¡¯t know about.¡¯ At this moment, Kong Feichen suddenly put his cup down, and said something that made Chen Mobai very concerned.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°I also practiced the Twofold Divine Technique.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Kong Feichen looked at Qing Nu and Yang Jing sleeping soundly on the couch after crying, tenderness flickering in his eyes.


    ¡°When Yang Jing was a kid, he dreamed of being a snake so he could crawl out of the square room to observe the green grass and fresh flowers.


    ¡°And I, I dreamt of being a bird that could freely soar in the sky. ¡°The Sealing Skill given to us by Captain Gan was right, but I made some changes to the Sealing Skill I gave you.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face dramatically changed, he got up and was about to make a move, only to find himself unable to move.


    ¡°Did you poison the beer? What did you do to Qing Nu and Yang Jing?¡±


    It was at this moment that Chen Mobai realized something was wrong.


    With the cultivation level of Qing Nu and Yang Jing, no matter how tired they were, it couldn¡¯t be like this.


    At a time when Kong Feichen was telling such an important story, there were no interruptions.


    ¡°It¡¯s not poison, but a medicine that can enhance the quality of spiritual power. In the past four years, I am the top medicinal student at the Imperial Medical Academy, and my tutor regards me as a genius who can change the future of Immortal Sect¡¯s pharmacology.¡±


    Kong Feichen took out an empty glass vial from his bosom, explaining as he spoke.


    ¡°This spiritual medicine is named ¡®Solid¡¯. You can regard it as an advanced edition of Solidifying Qi Liquid, it solidifies the spiritual power of the cultivator. As everyone knows, the process from liquid spiritual power to solid is the process of Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°The medicine I am referring to simulates this process. Though, it only carries a ten-thousandth of the spiritual effect of Liquid Gold Return Pill, it can allow you to experience higher-quality spiritual power in advance.¡±


    ¡°But since your body and Divine Sense are still at the foundation stage, you can¡¯t use such high-quality spiritual power. But the effects of the drug can only sustain for half a day.¡±


    After Kong Feichen had finished speaking, he placed the empty glass vial on the table in front of them. He then finished the rest of his beer.


    ¡°Oh, yes, this medicine only works on liquid spiritual power, so for a Qi Practitioner like me, this is really just beer.¡±


    ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±


    Chen Mobai tried to think about a solution while also trying to gauge Kong Feichen¡¯s true intentions.


    ¡°Nothing, I just can¡¯t let go of my past.¡±


    Kong Feichen touched his tattoo on his chest, he laughed self-mockingly, his face slightly distorted, and suddenly, his pupils turned dark gold.

    -I practiced the Twofold Divine Technique. I thought I could bury my past hatred, pain, and despair. But, I overestimated myself; I couldn¡¯t do it.¡± Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai understood that Kong Feichen was already controlled by the other personality within his body.


    Or maybe the two personalities reached an agreement in their shared hatred. ¡öTve been searching for the answer to undo the Twofold Divine Technique at the Imperial Medical Academy in the past few years. The only solution I found was the source of this forbidden technique, the Devour God Technique.¡± Kong Feichen walked into the living room saying this. He lifted Yang Jing who was sleeping in Qing Nu¡¯s arms, covered Qing Nu with a blanket, returned to the balcony and activated a talisman.


    A silver fire ring tore a portal out of thin air on the balcony.


    ¡°I¡¯ll leave my sister to you, I am taking her to get cured.


    After saying this, Kong Feichen stepped into the silver fire ring with Yang Jing. At this moment, a grey, short-haired head emerged in mid-air. Lin Yin silently wielded a dagger, aiming it at Kong Feichen¡¯s neck..

 Chapter 279 - Chapter 279: Chapter 248 Behind the Scenes Person_l

    Chapter 279: Chapter 248 Behind the Scenes Person_l


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Upon witnessing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but cry out in alarm.


    Even though Kong Feichen had plotted against him, after their conversation, Chen Mobai understood his motives, because it was all to cure the mental illness of Yang Jing.


    So when Kong Feichen left with Yang Jing, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it might be a good resolution for the siblings.


    The moment Lin Yin appeared abruptly, Chen Mobai wanted to stop her. But the influence of Kong Feichen¡¯s ¡°binding¡± was too powerful, and even his potent Divine Sense could not mobilize an iota of the spiritual power within his Qi Sea in the Dantian.


    A flicker of inexplicable sorrow flashed in his eyes. He closed them, unwilling to watch the scene of Kong Feichen getting killed.


    At that very moment, his Divine Sense sensed an unprecedented mighty aura that he had never felt before.


    A faint sound of cutting through the air echoed, and a withered, yellow leaf shot down from the roof across. It gently landed on Lin Yin¡¯s dagger that had already drawn blood on Kong Feichen¡¯s neck.


    A sharp ring!


    The crystal-clear sound of the shattering echoed. After breaking the dagger with the falling leaf, the momentum of the shot continued and grazed past Lin Yin¡¯s outstretched right shoulder.


    Blood splashed, and Lin Yin let out a muffled grunt. Holding her injured joint, she disappeared into thin air once again.


    Who was it?


    Chen Mobai was unsure. That blood-stained, withered yellow leaf fluttered down and landed on the table in front of him, next to an empty glass bottle.


    He looked up and saw Kong Feichen also looking surprised. Apparently, he hadn¡¯t expected someone to be lying in wait nearby. He didn¡¯t know who had made the move, let alone who had saved him.


    ¡°Get going!¡±


    A synthesized electronic sound rang out. Chen Mobai looked over and saw a figure in a black hoodie. He couldn¡¯t see the figure or face clearly. Only the pair of bright pupils indicated that it was a human being.


    ¡°Thank you, senior.¡±


    Kong Feichen felt the injuries on his neck. Not wanting to delay any further, he thanked the mysterious person, and with Yang Jing in his arms, he directly stepped into the silver fire ring.


    After watching them disappear, Chen Mobai looked back to the rooftop across the street only to find that the person was gone.


    He took a deep breath and struggled to lift his palm, gently touching the withered yellow leaf on the table.


    It was a commonplace leaf, one that could be easily plucked from the cypress trees planted all over the city.


    However, this ordinary leaf, right before Chen Mobai, had defeated a high-powered cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, whom not even he was aware of.


    Who was this person?


    Undoubtedly stronger than him, as Chen Mobai¡¯s most powerful Sword Rainbow Fission, if it were to accomplish its full power, must be used in combination with a Rank-2 Magic Artifact, such as the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    But this person had used merely a common withered leaf.


    Plucking leaves into flight, flicking enemies away with a snap.


    Chen Mobai had a feeling that this person seemed to be more formidable than both the earth-shattering Lan Haitian and the eye-commanding woman from the Ascension Sect!


    But Lan Haitian was already the strongest cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage in the Sect.


    Stronger than him¡­


    Could it be the Gold Core cultivator!


    Upon realizing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but gasp in surprise.


    After a long while, when he felt that his hands could move freely again, he took out his mobile phone and located the number of his teacher, Che Yucheng, in the contacts list.


    Just as he was about to make the call, a faint cough sounded in his ear.


    ¡°You¡¯re still here?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know who Lin Yin was, but he immediately realized it was her.


    ¡°Every move of a Gold Core cultivator in the Sect must be reported to the Xianwu Hall in advance.¡±


    Lin Yin appeared before Chen Mobai, holding her shoulder. She sat in the spot where Kong Feichen was just now. While she spoke, she took out two pieces of white plasters and applied them crosswise on the wound.


    In no time, Chen Mobai saw that her wound stopped bleeding, healed rapidly, and started forming a scab.


    ¡°What are you trying to say?¡±


    ¡°There were no other Gold Core cultivators visiting Red Sandstone City recently. There are only two that hold the city.¡±


    Lin Yin looked up, her brown pupils meeting Chen Mobai¡¯s, revealing shocking news.


    ¡°Do you mean¡­¡±


    ¡°If the Gold Core cultivators are indeed involved, the palace entrusted with upholding the law in the Sect may not necessarily be able to handle it. The matter needs to be escalated to the Xianwu Hall.¡±


    The Sect is governed by three halls. While the Xianwu Hall is in charge of administrating the three billion cultivators as per the law, including birth, old age, sickness, and death, the judicial hall is committed to upholding the law and eliminating any heretical elements who disrupt it and the happiness of the people.


    The final hall, the originator, is responsible for mandating the laws of the Sect.


    Admission to the originator hall is simple.


    Any cultivator who is a Gold Core and hasn¡¯t been deprived of his political rights by the Sect can join.


    That implies that each Gold Core cultivator is a manager of the Sect.


    And the two Gold Core cultivators of Red Sandstone City are listed in the originator hall. If they are indeed involved, the judicial hall has no jurisdiction over them.


    First, the originator hall needs to oust them, and then only can the laws of the Sect be applied to them.

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe that the two true men are like this.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head and declared his disbelief, but he didn¡¯t directly mention the names of the two real men of Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°Simply on my suspicion, the originator hall certainly won¡¯t start an investigation.¡±


    While Lin Yin spoke, her brown pupils met those of Chen Mobai, who shook his head immediately.


    ¡°Whether the culprit is a Gold Core cultivator is merely your speculation, I cannot testify for you..¡±

 Chapter 280 - Chapter 280: Chapter 248: The Person Behind the

    Chapter 280: Chapter 248: The Person Behind the


    Scenes_2


    ¡°As you wish.¡±


    Lin Yin said no more, made a gesture with one hand, and began to vanish again.


    ¡°But I don¡¯t even know who you are.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ll know in due time.¡±


    Due to their combat roles, members of the Patching Six Group usually kept their identities hidden. Though Lin Yin knew that Lan Haitian wanted to pull Chen Mobai into Patching Group, she wasn¡¯t her colleague yet, so she did not reveal her name.


    Although she didn¡¯t say her name, Chen Mobai had a guess based on the few words she had just spoken.


    She must be a person from the Justice Hall, and the only one he had contact with recently from the Justice Hall was Lan Haitian.


    Therefore, there is a high probability that she is a member of the Patching Group.


    In that case, the credibility of Lan Haitian¡¯s words earlier is questionable now.


    However, at this point, these are minor details.


    If it was a Gold Core True Cultivator who let Kong Feichen go in the end¡­


    Pondering this, a worrisome expression flashed across Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    After thinking it over, he recorded this incident in a detailed document and sent it to his teacher, Che Yucheng.


    This Dean of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, who is also a Gold Core True Cultivator and once served on a standing committee of the Kaiyuan Hall, must certainly have more experience in such matters than he does.


    However, he did not reply immediately, seemingly not by his phone.


    By mid-morning, Chen Mobai finally felt that he could regain control of the spiritual power in his Dantian Qi Sea.


    He took a deep breath, feeling the more substantial spiritual power, and couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    This medicine is quite potent. It seems that the pill toxicity accumulated from taking the Foundation Building Pill disappeared. At the very least, it saved him the grueling task of detoxifying the toxins for half a year.


    Beep,beep,beep!


    At this time, Che Yucheng finally responded with a message.


    Just one sentence.


    [I see. After you¡¯re done with your affairs, come back as soon as possible. Before the truth comes out, don¡¯t rashly investigate a Gold Core True Cultivator.]


    Seeing this message, Chen Mobai promptly replied two words: [Okay],


    Actually, when he had just returned to Red Sandstone City, he had visited the Red Robed True Man at the Red Dawn Institution. However, he was in seclusion and could not be seen.


    Given the current situation, Chen Mobai may not return to Red Sandstone City for a few years.


    Once sure his spiritual power was unharmed, Chen Mobai walked into the living room.


    Seeing Qing Nu sound asleep on the sofa, he sighed, reached out, and touched her smooth, white forehead.


    ¡°Hmm¡­What happened¡­ Where is Jing¡¯er?¡±


    When Qing Nu woke up, she was not yet clear about the situation, she rubbed her eyes and looked for her younger sister, who in her confused state, should¡¯ve just been rescued.


    ¡°Kong Feichen took her to a faraway place for treatment.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, and then told her everything that happened.


    After listening, Qing Nu fell into a daze.


    After what felt like a long time, her eyes welled up with unstoppable tears, and she cried to the point that Chen Mobai was at a loss about what to do.


    In the end, he had no choice but to hold her and comfort her.


    Two days later.


    Chen Mobai received a call from Lan Haitian, and they agreed to meet at the same place.


    ¡°It was burdensome for you last time.¡±


    Chen Mobai greeted Lan Haitian, who was sitting above the medicine vat, as soon as he landed in the courtyard. After all, Lan Haitian had come to rescue Yang Jing at his request. Even though Kong Feichen had taken her away in the end, he should still be grateful.


    ¡°How are you considering joining the Patching Group?¡±


    Lan Haitian asked with a smile, seemingly in a good mood.


    ¡°I¡¯ve thought about it and believe I¡¯m not made for combat. I¡¯m really sorry.¡±


    Originally, after killing Tuoba Wanyi of the Ascension Sect with a single sword strike, Chen Mobai felt that joining wouldn¡¯t be a big deal. At least his abilities seemed capable amongst the cultivators.


    However, his confidence wavered after a mysterious expert broke his offense with a simple leaf when Kong Feichen was leaving.


    He was still too weak and needed to cultivate and progress further.


    ¡°Kong Feichen of the Imperial Medical Academy colluded with the Ascension Sect, seriously violating the laws of the cultivators. He¡¯s been listed as a Rank-2 wanted criminal of the cultivators. Any cultivator who can provide clues will be rewarded with 100,000 Good Deed Points.¡±


    Lan Haitian suddenly stated.


    Chen Mobai stood still, unaffected.


    What does Kong Feichen matter to him? Since he chose this path, whether he lives or dies is all down to his own luck.


    ¡°An announcement was issued from the Hall of Orthodoxy, saying that whoever kills Kong Feichen will be rewarded with a Barrier Breaking Pill and six hundred thousand Good Deed Points.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°A Small Barrier Breaking Elixir or a Big Barrier Breaking Pill?¡±


    The Barrier Breaking Pill is one of the most popular Rank-2 spirit medicines in the Immortal Sect. As the name suggests, it helps cultivators break through their bottlenecks.


    The Small Barrier Breaking Elixir is meant for the small bottlenecks from Foundation Establishment Rank-1 to Rank-2, or from Rank-4 to Rank-5.


    On the other hand, the Big Barrier Breaking Pill is aimed at the bigger bottlenecks of Foundation Establishment from Rank-3 to Rank-4 and from Rank-6 to Rank-7.


    But whether it¡¯s a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir or a Big Barrier Breaking Pill, it¡¯s the most valuable medicine for the true cultivators in the Immortal Sect working on their foundation establishment.


    Because even though the Immortal Sect has a variety of complete and mature spiritual medicine and spiritual water systems to boost spiritual power, the obstacles between each realm can only be tackled by two or three kinds of rare elixirs.


    Even at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, every time the end-of-term score exchange is held, any Barrier Breaking Pill that appears is sure to be snapped up instantly.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Big one.¡±


    With a smile on his face, Lan Haitian gave Chen Mobai an impressively intriguing answer.


    ¡°He¡¯s actually worth that price.¡±


    ¡°What, you want to capture him and exchange him for a Barrier Breaking Pill?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve thought about it, but I mainly find it unbelievable that a mere Qi practitioner like him could warrant such a rich reward from the Hall of Orthodoxy.¡±


    Lan Haitian initially held the same sentiment, but after hearing Lin Yin¡¯s report and giving it some thought, he realized that the person hidden behind all this would be terrifying.


    Which was not hard to comprehend.


    ¡°If you join the Heaven Replenishing Group, you will be the first to know if Kong Feichen¡¯s trace is found within the Immortal Sect.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±


    ¡°You and his sister are close, aren¡¯t you? You should be looking to save him and the girl who has practiced the Forbidden Technique. If you join the Heaven Replenishing Group, I could turn a blind eye.¡±


    Hearing Lan Haitian¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh. He shook his head.


    ¡°Seems like you still don¡¯t understand me.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai lifted his phone, turned around and bid farewell.


    ¡°If I reach Rank-9 Foundation Establishment and cannot acquire the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill by any other means, then I might consider joining the Heaven Replenishing Group. But for now, I value my freedom.¡±


    ¡°Freedom? You would still be free in the Heaven Replenishing Group, you would just need to complete five missions a year.¡±


    Lan Haitian tried to convince him one last time.


    However, Chen Mobai was not at all interested.


    ¡°I owe you a favor. If you need my help near Crimson Mountain in the future, feel free to give me a call.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai jumped up and left the Evergreen Pharmacy.


    ¡°Team leader, I thought you had already recruited him?¡±


    Lin Yin emerged behind the drug vat where Lan Haitian was standing.


    With a black mask on her face, her body tall and slender, her skin as white as snow; the only flaw being her flat chest, showing no curvature.


    ¡°After all, I¡¯m just a man, and I can¡¯t get everything my way.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lan Haitian simply shrugged his shoulders and shook his head with a sigh.


    ¡°No, but that other person, as you predicted, team leader, when I told her the purpose of my visit, she immediately agreed to join the Heaven Replenishing Group.¡±


    Upon hearing Lin Yin¡¯s words, a smile crept onto Lan Haitian¡¯s face.


    ¡°While I may not have increased the manpower of our group six, at least group four gained a new member. So, this trip wasn¡¯t a total loss.¡±


    ¡°Team leader, her only requirement for joining the Heaven Replenishing


    Group, was to be assigned to our group six.¡±


    ¡°What!¡±


    Lan Haitian was taken aback upon hearing this, but then soon realized.


    ¡°Deny her request. Our group six doesn¡¯t need her.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°But team leader, she¡¯s a Heavenly Spiritual Root.¡±


    ¡°A Heavenly Spiritual Root only has a faster cultivation speed and no bottlenecks. Our group six needs ruthless individuals.¡±


    ¡°From what I¡¯ve seen, she seems highly determined, and with training, she could become an eligible member of group six.¡±


    Lin Yin objected, thinking it a shame to overlook someone of her potential, trying to persuade him. But Lan Haitian remained unmoved.


    ¡°Group six only needs those naturally ruthless people, just like Chen Mobai.¡±

 Chapter 281 - Chapter 281: Chapter 249 Farewell_l

    Chapter 281: Chapter 249 Farewell_l


    ¡°Thank you both for your hard work.¡±


    Within Wu Wan¡¯s workshop in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai puts down his Rank-2 Talisman Brush and expresses his gratitude to Luan Jingsheng and Wu Wan.


    ¡°Oh no, not at all. We are quite happy to lend you a hand.¡±


    Wu Wan began to tidy up the scattered bits of paper in his workshop with a smile.


    On the other hand, Luan Jingsheng seemed to be immersed in a state of deep comprehension, his eyes closed as he sat in his spot.


    ¡°This Five-Phase Umbrella might even evolve into a Rank-2 Magic Artifact in the future.¡±


    Picking up the wooden umbrella on his workbench, a product of the combined efforts of the trio, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help feeling sentimental.


    He was a man of nostalgia.


    Having been through numerous battles with him during the demonic beast invasion on Green Light Island, this Five-Phase Umbrella had suffered considerable damage, both to the umbrella surface and talismans drawn on it.


    If any other Foundation Establishment True Cultivator in the Tianhe Realm had encountered this, they would have discarded it and replaced it with a better defensive magic artifact.


    But Chen Mobai instead considered whether it could be repaired.


    Although he now possessed a Rank-2 Green Scale Arm Guard, this simple Rank-1 intermediate grade defensive talisman wasn¡¯t of much use to him. Yet, it was a very nice gift for his disciples.


    With his family¡¯s backing, Liu Wenbo already had one attacking and one defending Rank-1 magic artifact. But as a Loose Cultivator, Zhuo Ming couldn¡¯t even afford a storage bag with a lifetime accumulation of Spirit Stones, let alone a magic artifact.


    Fortunately, he still had quite a few artifacts that he was no longer using. He thought to sort them out and give them to his two disciples.


    He had all planned out: sharing evenly.


    The Needle Box and the Five-Phase Umbrella would go to Zhuo Ming, and the Green Kerchief and Casting Sword Ring would go to Liu Wenbo. That way, each disciple would receive two items, a Rank-1 intermediate grade, and a Rank-1 superior grade.


    The Five-Phase Umbrella was previously degraded and just a Rank-1 intermediate grade, but Chen Mobai was not deterred.


    As a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator and a registered Rank-1 Talisman Maker of the Immortal Sect, he was more than capable of redrawing the defensive talismans on the Five-Phase Umbrella.


    However, casually redrawing wouldn¡¯t upgrade a talisman artifact, it required precise preliminary design and calculations.


    To repair the Five-Phase Umbrella and upgrade it to Rank-1 superior grade, Chen Mobai specially invited its original creator, Luan Jingsheng.


    Wu Wan, a treasure appraiser, was also invited by Chen Mobai for assistance.


    With more hands to help, they quickly designed an upgrade plan for the Five-Phase Umbrella based six revisions on Luan Jingsheng¡¯s original blueprint.


    Luckily, Wu Wan had his own Artifact Refining and Treasure Appraisal workshop, so Chen Mobai started the formal work there with new paper and ink for talisman making.


    However, when they started, they encountered some issues that were not reflected on the blueprints.


    Nevertheless, with Chen Mobai being a Foundation-Based True Cultivator and a student of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, he overcame all difficulties after consulting with his talisman drawing teacher, Xu Xiu, and the artifact refining genius, Ming Yuhua. He successfully upgraded the Five-Phase Umbrella after seven days of work.


    During the process, Luan Jingsheng, who was assisting, greatly benefitted and seemed to have entered some realization state.


    Not disturbing him, Chen Mobai and Wu Wan decided to wait for him in the tea room outside.


    When Luan Jingsheng finally emerged, he thanked Chen Mobai heartily.


    ¡°I was the one who taught you the basics of talisman drawing. No need for formalities,¡± Chen Mobai replied, which evoked overwhelming emotions for Luan Jingsheng.


    Back in the old days at Red Dawn Institution, the student who received even the three basic sets of talisman drawing from him, was now a successful Foundation Establishment Cultivator.


    Upon realizing that Chen Mobai was a student of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, everything made sense to Luan Jingsheng.


    After all, he was a genius.


    The three enjoyed a meal together in the evening. Although Chen Mobai initially intended to pay, Luan Jingsheng insisted on covering the bill.


    Having learned so much from assisting Chen Mobai this time, he believed that he could pass the Rank-1 Talisman Maker¡¯s exam next year.


    Subsequently, Chen Mobai met up with Shen Juanxiu and Chan Si again.


    Shen Juanxiu didn¡¯t look too well. Her attempt at the Foundation Establishment this year had ended in failure again.


    Besides, she had over-exerted herself, causing a downgrade in her cultivation state and decline in her vitality. As a result, she¡¯d have to wait another ten years before attempting the Foundation Establishment for the third time.


    ¡°Maybe I genuinely don¡¯t have any talent for cultivation,¡± lamented Shen Juanxiu, looking at Chen Mobai, who had successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage, his skin glowing. She took another sip of her drink with a bitter smile.


    ¡°Chan should be preparing for her attempt at the Foundation Establishment soon, right?¡± Chen Mobai consoled Shen Juanxiu and added after a short chat with Chan Si, who subtly nodded.


    She had also prepared a full set of ¡®Foundation Treasure¡¯, but Shen Juanxiu¡¯s setback made her lose her courage to take the next step.

    ¡°There¡¯s a cultivation technique called ¡®Threshold Method¡¯ in the National Library. It might help.¡±


    As Chen Mobai shared the cultivation technique that could enhance the success rate of Foundation Establishment, the two women listened with awe.


    ¡°Such cultivation techniques exist in the Immortal Sect; how come we were unaware of it?¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Threshold Method¡¯ is highly demanding; about 70-80 percent of the students in the Four Great Daoist Academies can master it. Only the top students of the Ten Colleges can achieve it.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mention the success rate of Foundation Establishment students practicing the ¡®Threshold Method¡¯ because the sample size was too small to make a general conclusion..

 Chapter 282 - Chapter 282: Chapter 249: Farewell_2

    Chapter 282: Chapter 249: Farewell_2


    It was only after their thoughts on the Qi Cultivating Realm were fully formed and Shen Juanxiu had no other methods to offer, finding time to ponder on the border methods, that Chen Mobai gave them a hint.


    Not only them, but all the old classmates around Chen Mobai who had reached the ninth level of Qi cultivation, he also had given them some advice.


    Song Zheng, Shi Jingjing, Cao Yaling and others in their own Xuegong had come into contact with the border method, but it was a pity that they were still


    stuck at the entrance.


    This border method was really difficult to cultivate successfully!


    They asked Chen Mobai for tips on it, but he could only shake his head and sigh, telling them they could only understand it by themselves.


    Everyone could only lament their lack of talent.


    In the last few days of the holiday, Chen Mobai returned to Green Mountain


    Village with his parents to visit his grandparents.


    He found a suitable place, arranged the scene a bit, and released the Azure


    Blood Carp.


    Originally he planned to just invite Yan Bingxuan over to play, but considering that it would affect her reputation, he also invited all his old classmates.


    It was like saying goodbye to his youthful self.


    ¡°The scenery here is really nice.¡±


    Shi Jingjing admired the green mountains and crystal-clear nature scenery while collecting wildflowers with Cao Yaling.


    Not far away, Song Zheng sat with a fishing rod on the water, while Mo Simin and Yan Bingxuan were starting a fire to grill fish; Lu Hongsheng was busy courting Pu Jiangxue and Yu Shu¡­


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you invite your girlfriend?¡±


    Mo Simin asked inquisitively, she originally thought Qing Nu would be there too.


    ¡°She had some matters at Jumang Daoist Academy, so she left first.¡±


    Chen Mobai said as if nothing had happened.


    The day after Kong Feichen left, Qing Nu called to say she planned to improve herself and decided to return to Jumang Daoist Academy.


    Chen Mobai sent her to the train station. Though Qing Nu looked a bit haggard, she was still normal. She wanted to consult her mentor about how to save her siblings from the Ascension Sect.


    ¡°Let me know if there¡¯s anything I can help with.¡±


    After thanking him, Qing Nu turned and walked into the train station.


    Watching her figure disappear in front of his eyes, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    ¡± it seems like something¡¯s on your mind?


    Yan Bingxuan¡¯s voice sounded in his ear. Chen Mobai caught her clear gaze, hesitated for a moment, and nodded faintly.


    ¡°Can I help with anything?¡±


    Yan Bingxuan tilted her head and asked in her comforting manner.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s just that I feel like I¡¯m lacking in strength. It would be great if I were at


    the Core Formation stage now.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Mo Simin¡¯s face froze stiffly.


    She had never realized before how good he was at pretending to be humble.


    ¡°A cultivator is never satisfied, always pursuing higher realms, my aunt said


    SO.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan nodded her head in agreement, causing Mo Simin to open her mouth wide in shock, uttering a word: ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Yes, when I was practicing Qi cultivation, I thought about reaching Foundation Establishment. Now that I have reached Foundation Establishment, I look forward to Core Formation. Maybe when I really become a Gold Core cultivator, I would then worry about Nascent Soul Formation¡­


    Chen Mobai laughed and shook his head, feeling a bit greedy.


    However, this was also because he had felt the power of the genuine Gold Core cultivators. Compared to them, he was indeed too weak.


    He would take it one step at a time and strive for the small goals first.


    ¡°I believe you can do it.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan suddenly declared this, surprising Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Core Formation, Nascent Soul Formation, I believe you can reach these two realms.¡±


    ¡°You have so much faith in me?¡±


    ¡°The book says that agreeing with a friend like this generates positive


    feelings.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan was honest, causing both Chen Mobai and Mo Simin to burst into laughter.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to agree with others. Just be yourself and act according to your feelings. In this way, you are the most beautiful, and the one who attracts us


    the most.¡±


    Unable to bear it, Mo Simin hugged Yan Bingxuan and said this to her good friend.


    ¡°Is that so?¡±


    Yan Bingxuan frowned a little, seeming surprised as she asked Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    After she got the affirmative answer, she nodded, then gave a very nice smile.


    ¡°Although I was just agreeing with you, my intuition tells me that you really can reach these two realms.¡±


    ¡°What about Divinity Transformation?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid not.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan shrugged, causing a surge of competitiveness in Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What if I do make it?¡±


    ¡°Then I will apologize to you.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s insincere.¡±


    ¡°Hmm¡­¡±


    Mo Simin on the side found that the conversation between the two had become strange again. She quickly pulled Yan Bingxuan away to continue grilling fish.


    ¡°The fish needs to be flipped. Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Watching their graceful departing backs, Chen Mobai suddenly found his mood lightened considerably.


    The fear of the Gold Core cultivator in his heart began to dissipate, and his face brightened again.

    It seemed that it was worthwhile to release the five Azure Blood Carps this time. Thinking this, Chen Mobai came to the water¡¯s edge and sat next to Song Zheng, helping him catch one fish after another.


    He then opened two jugs of Green Mountain wine that his grandfather treasured.


    Grilled fish with wine, everyone had a great time.


    [Will you come back this year?]


    Chen Mobai, who was on the train back to Dance Tool Dao Academy, saw the message Lu Hongsheng sent him in the class group, shook his head and replied. [I am going to enter the Treasure Trove this year, it¡¯s a rare opportunity. I might spend a lot of time cultivating in the back mountain, so I won¡¯t be coming back.]

 Chapter 283 - Chapter 283: Chapter 249 Farewell_3

    Chapter 283: Chapter 249 Farewell_3


    After saying this, he sighed in the solitude of his compartment.


    Not just this year, but likely for many years to come, he wouldn¡¯t be returning to Red Sandstone City.


    To buy osmanthus flowers and carry the wine, it¡¯s not the same as the adventures of youth!


    After returning to the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai first went to visit Che Yucheng.


    The latter indicated that he had gotten in touch with Master Shaoyang who confirmed that a trip to the Treasure Trove should pose no problem. However, he would have to wait until after the start of school when the relevant teachers were present to be processed accordingly.


    Having waited half a year, a little bit more time didn¡¯t matter to Chen Mobai.


    After thanking Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai had assumed the teacher would ask him about the Ascension Sect in Red Sandstone City, but he simply waved his hand, signaling that he could leave.


    It appeared that the Gold Core cultivator indeed could not act rashly. Even when colluding with the Ascension Sect, there had been no immediate response from the immortal sect.


    Or perhaps, the Sky-mending Group had not reported it?


    Full of curiosity, Chen Mobai enrolled in many courses for the new year. After all, he had already established his foundation, and the Daoist Academy allowed them to skip classes, requiring students only to take exams at the end of the year.


    Chen Mobai considered his energy and time, he chose three main courses: Talisman, Puppetry, and Sword Control.


    Talismans and Puppetry were standard, whereas Sword Control was aimed at improving the basic knowledge of his Sword Dao.


    Embarrassingly, even though he had already mastered Sword Rainbow Fission, he was still clueless about the first three realms of Sword Cultivation.


    In terms of Sword Dao, he was essentially building a castle in the air.


    So, he needed to enroll in the Sword Control Department.


    In addition to the three major courses, he also registered for Agricultural Studies, Herb Distinguish, Treasure Appraisal, Mineral Identification, Ink Extraction for Talisman, and Calligraphy as elective courses.


    Among these, Agricultural Studies would be crucial for his future. Whether he could make a fortune in the Tianhe Realm would depend on his mastery of this subject.


    ¡°Herb Distinguish¡± and ¡°Mineral Identification¡± were in preparation for the future production of his Liquid Gold Jade Elixir.


    After all, Giant Tree Ridge was famous throughout the Eastern Wilderness for its medicinal fields. If he wanted to collect resources in the Tianhe Realm for pill-making, he couldn¡¯t always allow his disciples to find herbs based on images.


    He needed to familiarize himself with various kinds of spirit grass in the immortal sect, translate their names into those used in the Tianhe Realm, and then instruct his disciples accordingly to avoid any risks of exposure.


    ¡°Treasure Appraisal¡± was chosen due to the thriving market for magic artifacts in the Tianhe Realm. He couldn¡¯t always rely on Wu Wanming for every new magic artifact acquisition.


    Moreover, Wu Wan was merely a rank-1 treasure appraiser, no longer able to assist him in any meaningful way.


    Ming Yuhua was always willing to help, but Chen Mobai felt he shouldn¡¯t rely on him all the time. He decided to delve into the knowledge of treasure appraisal when he had time.


    With his cultivation of Void Spirit Eye, he would be able to pick up the necessary skills in half the time.


    As for ¡°Ink Extraction for Talisman¡± and ¡°Calligraphy,¡± he chose them purely because they were easy for him.


    Even if he didn¡¯t study for a whole year, he would still be able to pass the exams and earn credits.

    If he passed all of the three major courses and six elective courses, Chen Mobai would earn 21 credits.


    There were no other requirements, he could simply exchange them for a Vermillion Fruit.


    With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai once again dropped a drop of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew into his eyes, feeling the cool sensation as it surged into his consciousness. The two Green Paulownia Seedlings in his Purple Palace began to sway excitedly.


    However, instead of letting his divine sense absorb the power produced by the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew immediately, he waited until his Void Spirit Eye was satisfied and then allowed the Green Paulownia Seedlings to absorb it.


    After practicing his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai, with Spirit Stone in hand, promoted his Pure Yang Daoist Body. During this process, he multitasked by browsing through the Foundation Establishment section in the ¡°Pure Yang Scroll.¡±

 Chapter 284 - Chapter 284: Chapter 250 The First Lesson of the Sword

    Chapter 284: Chapter 250 The First Lesson of the Sword


    Control Department 1


    Since successfully establishing his Foundation in Longevity, Chen Mobai has devoted part of his energy to the Pure Yang Scroll.


    After all, the cultivation techniques in the Tianhe realm, aren¡¯t as detailed in the Foundation Building Realm as they are in the immortal sects.


    If he wanted to advance from the early foundation stage to the mid-foundation stage, it would usually take about twenty years according to the experiences in the Tianhe realm.


    Given that the breakthrough in the Longevity would take some time, and he still had pill toxicity in his system from the Foundation Building Pill he took during his foundation establishment, Chen Mobai spent most of his time after his foundation establishment on improving his understanding of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Under the vast knowledge of the Foundation Building Realm, he easily and thoroughly mastered the Qi Cultivation part of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    However, his three yang bodies had not been fully established, so even though he reached the ninth-level of Qi Cultivation, he never tried to take the step into the foundation establishment stage.


    Now, after returning from Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai felt that both his cultivation level and spiritual power have reached perfection and he was ready to take that step.


    So after he returned to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he had Che Yucheng sign a request to exchange books for the Pure Yang Foundation Building Scroll in the library.


    However, although Che Yucheng signed the request, he proposed an intriguing suggestion.


    ¡°You¡¯re at the Foundation stage already, so you won¡¯t be called up for war unless it¡¯s a major conflict. You have enough time to cultivate. Why not try to establish your Foundation through enlightenment?¡±


    Establishing one¡¯s foundation through enlightenment!


    This was the original method of foundation establishment. In the absence of foundation building pills and other auxiliary items, ancient cultivators listen to the rhythm of nature, resonate with the elemental energy of heavens and earth, and connect their divine sense to the pulsation of the Dao, creating a perfect foundation.


    It¡¯s said that this method of building a foundation has unexpected benefits.


    As for what these benefits are, they aren¡¯t recorded in the Tianhe realm.


    But there is plenty of information about it in the Immortal sects.


    Some managed to elevate a common technique to almost a Rank-3 level during the process of foundation establishment.


    Others received a kind of permission bestowed by Heaven and Earth, capable of entering any place with water ¡ª the unparalleled Water Escape.


    Even more extraordinary cases managed to awaken the powerful bloodline of their ancestors, gaining invulnerability to fire and ice and indestructibility like a diamond. After advancing to the Gold Core stage, they even became capable of growing extra limbs, with a broad range of divine skills.


    In summary, establishing the foundation through enlightenment definitely has its benefits.


    However, the size of these benefits depends on the individual cultivator¡¯s luck. Yet even the common ones offer a powerful method capable of being used until the Gold Dan Level for foundation establishment cultivators.


    For other Qi Practitioners, unless they carry a heavenly spiritual root, they generally don¡¯t push to establish their foundation through enlightenment, as it¡¯s often unattainable.


    But Chen Mobai is different; he has the conditions for it.


    Since he was determined to use Bilateral Cultivation to increase the probability of reaching the Gold Dan stage, he was sure to cultivate the Longevity to perfection for his foundation establishment. Now that his pill toxicity had been cleansed by Kong Feichen¡¯s medicine, he could continue advancement.


    He planned to focus mainly on improving his level in the Longevity while also cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, hoping to seize an opportunity one day to establish his foundation through enlightenment.


    This was Che Yucheng¡¯s suggestion. After listening, Chen Mobai found it very reasonable.


    Whether the Pure Yang Scroll reaches foundation establishment or not wouldn¡¯t affect his position in the Divine Wood Sect.


    After all, he is portrayed as a sword cultivation prodigy.


    However, Chen Mobai still spent two days reading through the Foundation Building part of the Pure Yang Scroll to get a clear understanding.


    When the term started.


    Forty-seven students from the Sword Control Department were led to the training field by their instructor.


    Among the forty-seven, nineteen were freshmen and the rest were upperclassmen who signed up for the course to earn credits. Since they hadn¡¯t taken the sword Control course before, they were all assigned to freshman classes to conserve educational resources.


    ¡°Good day to all the new students of the Sword Control Department, I am Zuo Gong.¡±


    A square-faced man of average height stood at the front of the field. Standing beside him were three other individuals. This man was the head of the Sword Control Department, a Gold Core sword cultivator, the real Zuo Gong.


    He greeted the twenty-seven new students with a gentle tone.


    ¡°As I am quite busy, courses for the first and second year students will be taught by your senior students.¡±


    ¡°The Assistant Professor of the Daoist Academy, Wu Shizheng, will be hosting the classes for third to sixth graders.¡±


    ¡°If there are any doubts that they can¡¯t answer, you can come directly to the office and askme.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised. He didn¡¯t expect the Sword Control Department¡¯s courses to be conducted in such a manner.


    In the Puppet Lines Department, Che Yucheng personally took care of the classes for all ten grades.


    But the total number of people in all ten grades of the Puppet Lines Department was probably just over a hundred, and after the seventh grade, it mainly revolved around self-study.


    Hence, Che Yucheng could easily manage it all by himself.

    The Sword Control Department was different. It¡¯s one of the top three domains in the Dance Tool Dao Academy. With the influence of popular dramas, where the protagonists were often depicted as soaring swordsmen and incredibly cool.


    Everyone wanted to be stylish, so even if they didn¡¯t sign up for the Sword Control Department at first, many would choose to study here to acquire extra credits, when they¡¯ve finished simple elective courses.


    If they truly had a talent for sword training, they would continue their studies or even skip grades.


    Because of these factors, Zuo Gong could not do as Che Yucheng did and take care of everything from start to finish by himself; hence, he had to come up with this method.


    The senior students had the opportunity to review what they had learned by teaching, allowing them to truly understand the knowledge they had learned and make it their own.

 Chapter 285 - Chapter 285: Chapter 250 The First Lesson of the Sword

    Chapter 285: Chapter 250 The First Lesson of the Sword


    Control Department_2


    By an uncanny coincidence, Zha Jianbai, who was in the same cohort as Chen Mobai, was assigned by Master Zuo Gong to teach the first grade this year.


    The top sword practitioner of the class of 5012!


    ¡°I will observe the first class.¡±


    After saying these words, Master Zuo Gong, with his hands behind his back, walked over and sat down on the concrete steps at the edge of the training field.


    ¡°Little Zha, don¡¯t be nervous, just follow your lesson plan.¡±


    After Wu Shizheng, the Vice Dean of the Sword Control Department and Master Zuo Gong¡¯s teaching assistant, said these words with a smile and patted Zha Jianbai on the shoulder, he paused for a moment as his gaze landed on Chen Mobai in the crowd before he chuckled, grabbed a bottle of water, and joined Master Zuo Gong.


    Zha Jianbai had a long face and, due to years of sword training, held an aura of coldness.


    He had complete confidence in himself, not at all plagued by the nervousness that Wu Shizheng had mentioned.


    ¡°As new students, I need to understand each of your foundations in Sword Dao. Grab a standardized practice flying sword and perform your proudest sword technique in front of me so I can evaluate.¡±


    Zha Jianbai carried out his planned lesson smoothly.


    One by one, eager-to show-off students stepped forward, demonstrating their well-practiced swordsmanship in the order they were called, in front of Zha Jianbai.


    When it was Chen Mobai¡¯s turn, he held the standard flying sword in his hand, his expression full of hesitation.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Don¡¯t know any sword techniques? Then perform some beginning-level sword-wielding exercises.¡±


    Zha Jianbai mistakenly thought that Chen Mobai had solely focused on his Foundation Establishment previously and hadn¡¯t practiced any sword techniques, so he offered what he thought was a great suggestion.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s just¡­ do I really need to show my most skilled sword technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, seeking further confirmation.


    Zha Jianbai frowned, what was up with this guy, how had someone so indecisive managed to establish his foundation?


    ¡°Hurry up, there are still quite a few students waiting.¡±


    ¡°Alright then, can you step back a bit?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Zha Jianbai¡¯s expression turn displeased. However, considering that this guy in front of him had already achieved the Foundation Establishment, and might actually be able to demonstrate some formidable sword qi, he decided to take a couple of steps back.


    But still, Chen Mobai just looked at him, making no movements to perform his sword technique.


    ¡±What¡¯ s wrong now?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not far enough!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s far enough! No matter how powerful your sword qi, it absolutely won¡¯t be able to affect me.¡±


    Zha Jianbai finally lost his patience. Raising his voice, he gestured impatiently for Chen Mobai to stop wasting time. Yes, you¡¯ve established your foundation, but there are limits to showing off!


    ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll try to control my strength a bit.¡±


    Chen Mobai had always been a good student and agreed with his head nodded when his teacher asked him something.


    Grasping the standard flying sword in his hand, under the indifferent gaze of the students and the teacher, he slashed out, creating a dazzling deep purple sword light.


    ¡°Why did you come over here? Aren¡¯t you helping your disciple?¡±


    Master Zuo Gong questioned when he saw Wu Shizheng sitting down next to him.


    ¡°Although little Zha is only at the Qi Cultivation stage, his master achieved the Rainbow Sword Qi, so you can treat him like a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator.¡±


    ¡°As for Chen Mobai, he may have achieved Foundation Establishment, but in a real fight, he might not necessarily be a match for little Zha.¡±


    ¡°Also, the first class is only to let the students understand the divisions of the sword cultivator¡¯s realm, and to measure their swordsmanship talent on the spot. With little Zha¡¯s Rainbow Sword Qi, it should be enough to hold the fort.¡± Just as Wu Shizheng finished speaking and was about to open the bottle to take a few sips, a deep purple sword light entered his line of sight, causing him to stand up abruptly.


    My disciple has achieved Sword Rainbow Fission!


    No, wait, didn¡¯t he just comprehend Rainbow Sword Qi at the end of his vacation after failing in his attempt at Foundation Establishment?


    Upon closer look, Wu Shizheng realized that the person holding the practice flying sword and producing deep purple sword light wasn¡¯t his disciple Zha Jianbai, but Chen Mobai.


    What¡¯s going on?


    What is this guy trying to do?


    Coming here to study as a first-year?


    Is that necessary?


    With your level, you could directly skip to the seventh year of Master Zuo Gong¡¯s class, I wouldn¡¯t even be able to teach you.


    As Wu Shizheng was being stunned, Master Zuo Gong, who was originally sitting down, had a sparkle in his eyes, and disappeared from his spot.


    The head of the Sword Control Department pointed a finger at the Purple Fire Sword Light cast by Chen Mobai with his academy standard training sword.


    A sizzle sound was heard!


    Chen Mobai only felt a numbness in his wrist, the sword light he had cast was no longer under control, it turned into a string of purple flame light, caught between the fingers of Zuo Gong.


    It seemed like a fiery little snake, continuously twisting and struggling, but unable to break free.


    ¡°Not bad, this is Sword Light.¡±


    After Master Zuo Gong confirmed that what Chen Mobai had cast was indeed the Sword Light only available to the fourth realm of Sword Cultivator, he immediately frowned and criticized Chen Mobai with a displeased face.


    ¡°You¡¯ve already learned to manifest Sword Light, is there any need for you to waste time as a first-year student? Are you showing off?¡±


    ¡°Master, you misunderstood. I had requested to assess each student¡¯s swordsmanship skills, and only after much insistence did Chen Mobai manifest this Sword Light.¡±


    Zhai Jianbai quickly explained. He was left completely stunned when Chen Mobai had cast the Purple Fire Sword Light.


    At that moment, he finally understood the gap between ordinary people and geniuses!


    Compared to the real ¡°genius¡± in front of him, his so-called swordsmanship talent was just like an ordinary person.


    Although Zhai Jianbai was cold in nature, he greatly admired the strong.


    Having seen the formidable power of the Purple Fire Sword Light firsthand, he immediately saw Chen Mobai as a model to pursue.


    So upon hearing Zuo Gong¡¯s words, he immediately spoke out to explain for him.


    ¡°You, young man, tell me why you came to attend a first-year class with your Foundation Establishment realm. For the year-end exam, all you need to do is show up and you¡¯ll still get the three credits.¡±


    When Master Zuo Gong spoke, the other forty-seven newcomers found out that their senior was actually a True Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Many of the male and female juniors immediately looked envious, some were in awe, and others thought they could reach Foundation Establishment when they were in the fifth year, they managed to keep cool faces, but could not hide the envy in their eyes.


    ¡°Well, Teacher Zuo, although I have reached the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission, my foundation in Sword Dao is actually unstable, like a structure built in the air. Therefore, I have to come to class to strengthen my foundation.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that sword cultivators were notoriously grumpy. This Zuo Gong often quarreled with the principal and Che Yucheng, so he immediately told them about his situation.


    ¡°What? ¡®Achieved¡¯? You mean to tell me you got the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission when you were establishing your foundation?¡±


    Zuo Gong imagined an answer with a surprised face. This is not unprecedented, just like Yuan Yang, who had comprehended the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission when he was establishing his foundation.


    However, the reason Yuan Yang had this opportunity was that he had already developed his Rainbow Sword Qi before establishing his foundation, and then he seized the opportunity to understand Sword Rainbow Fission.


    Chen MoBai hesitated for a while and then nodded.


    After all, since the Great Dao Tree had directly given him the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission, it would be better not to mention it if he could avoid it.


    He was prepared with a similar explanation, and since Zuo Gong proposed it, he simply admitted it directly.


    [Yes, I received Sword Rainbow Fission upon Foundation Establishment! ]


    After listening, Zuo Gong said with a very sour tone.


    ¡°Why wasn¡¯t God watching during my Foundation Establishment!¡±


    The opportunities during Foundation Establishment are varied and numerous. Although it was strange for a cultivator to directly receive the Sword Rainbow Fission realm without practicing sword cultivation methods, none of the people present cared about this small detail.


    ¡°Don¡¯t waste too much time below the seventh year, try to advance to my class within this year.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After knowing Chen Mobai¡¯s predicament, Zuo Gong didn¡¯t bother anymore.


    After saying this, he ended his observation for the day.


    He was quite satisfied with his grandson Zhai Jianbai, thinking that if he could achieve Foundation Establishment in the future, he might let him watch the video of the ¡°Immortal Sword Technique¡± treasured in the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Now that he sees Chen Mobai, he knows that Zhai Jianbai will definitely not get this chance.


    Why did such a good seedling get taken by the sculptor?

 Chapter 286 - Chapter 286: Chapter 251: Sword Destruction Collection !

    Chapter 286: Chapter 251: Sword Destruction Collection !


    Finally, after Zuo Gong¡¯s departure, Chen Mobai was able to attend his classes with peace of mind.


    However, the gaze of the junior students around him was fiery. In response, he had no choice but to speed up his learning progress.


    Under Zha Jianbai¡¯s careful guidance and the effect of his casting sword ring, Chen Mobai broke all records of the Dance Tool Dao Academy1 s Sword Control Department.


    Mastering the sword to establish Gang in one day!


    Transforming Sword Gang into Qi in three days!


    Rainbow Sword Qi in ten days!


    In just two weeks, he went from nothing to mastering the first three realms of a sword cultivator.


    Although this was partly due to his existing comprehension of Sword Rainbow Fission, regardless, he had now added ¡°Best at Sword Training¡± to his existing titles of being first in talisman and puppet cultivation, and Agricultural Studies.


    Regarding this, Zha Jianbai, the previous champion of Sword Training, had no complaints.


    After all, it is fitting that conversation amongst sword cultivators is conducted via their swords.


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Dao Realm was stronger than his, it was natural that Chen Mobai would take the first place.


    The Sword Control Department consists of ten classes in total, varying from low to high. The first year mainly teaches ¡± Sword Training to become Gang,¡± and the second year teaches ¡°Sword Gang Transforming Qi¡±.


    Because Chen Mobai mastered the sword to establish Gang in one day, he graduated on the same day he attended the first class of the first year.


    The rest of the forty-six classmates in the same class were astonished at this, but they also merely felt that it was expected since Chen Mobai was a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator. They all believed it was only natural for him to achieve such feats standing on a higher plane.


    Afterward, Chen Mobai skipped to the second year and graduated in three days¡­


    Then came ¡°Rainbow Sword Qi,¡± equivalent to the strength of a foundation establishment, which was set by Zuo Gong to be taught over four academic years from the third to the sixth year. The one teaching this section was his disciple cum teaching assistant, Wu Shizheng.


    It is from this realm that one starts to distinguish whether or not they have a talent for sword cultivation.


    Generally, only a few among a hundred people can pass and successfully earn the credits for this course.


    Even those who managed to cultivate the ¡°Rainbow Sword Qi¡± have gone through failure at this stage, reaping the results after much accumulation and preparation.


    Because of this, when Zha Jianbai managed to cultivate the ¡°Rainbow Sword Qi¡± during his fourth year, he was seen as a sword cultivation genius by everyone in the Sword Control Department.


    The subsequent ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡± belongs to the seventh-year curriculum. The assistant professor of the Sword Control Department, Wu Shizheng, has only attained this level.


    For a sword cultivator at this level to improve further, only Zuo Gong was qualified to teach them.


    In other words, within just two weeks, Chen Mobai had jumped from the first year of the Sword Control Department to the seventh year.


    For those first-year students who had witnessed Chen Mobai¡¯s Purple Fire Sword Light, although they had braced themselves, they were still incredibly shocked when they heard the news.


    However, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t too thrilled about this.


    If it weren¡¯t for Zuo Gong¡¯s promise that he would be credited for his skip-levels at the end of the term, he would have opted to enjoy his six years at the Sword Control Department.


    After all, as long as he appeared for the end-term examinations, he was confident of securing the credits.


    However, since he had the opportunity to acquire credits for six academic years of the Sword Control Department in advance, Chen Mobai also agreed not to waste time in the lower years. He immediately skipped to the seventh year of the Sword Control Department.


    However, he did not stay in the seventh year for long and was directly kicked out of the Sword Control Department by Zuo Gong.


    That¡¯s because the Sword Control Department mainly instructs on the realm of ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡± from the seventh to the tenth year.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding of this realm was no less than Zuo Gong¡¯s.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have anything left to teach you. You¡¯ve graduated.¡±


    With a sigh, Zuo Gong inspected Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Dao foundation, and gave him his graduation certificate.


    ¡°Wait, Teacher Zuo, aren¡¯t you a Gold Core sword cultivator? Your Sword Dao realm is far above mine; there must be something you can teach me.¡±


    Chen Mobai, scratching his head as he looked at the Diploma from the Dance Tool Dao Academy for the Sword Control Department, was hesitant to leave the office. He stared at Zuo Gong, thinking about the tuition fees he had paid this year and hoping not to waste them.


    ¡°You¡¯ve mastered Binding Sword and Solidifying Light, Sword Light Differentiation, becoming one with the sword, and Sword Control to become immortal; you just need to practice more and gain more experience with these techniques.¡±


    ¡°However, there has been peace for the past hundred years in the immortal world without any wars. Even I don¡¯t have anywhere to sharpen my sword skills. What you have learned is already sufficient.¡±


    ¡°Beyond this is the fifth realm of sword cultivation, Sword Light Solidifying Demons.¡±


    ¡°This depends on which sword technique you¡¯re cultivating, what direction you plan to develop in the future, and then spending a substantial amount of Good Deed Points or joining relevant departments in the immortal world to find suitable demonic qi.¡±


    ¡°I cultivated Geng Metal Sword Sha, which doesn¡¯t match your cultivation technique or Spiritual Root. At most, I can give some suggestions based on experience. Here, add my contact info, and feel free to ask me if you have any questions about sword cultivation.¡±


    Zuo Gong also felt that neglecting the guidance of a sword cultivation genius like Chen Mobai would be a shame. Hence, he accepted Chen Mobai¡¯s friend request and sent over his insights and experiences from his sword cultivation.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon receiving it, Chen Mobai scrutinized it carefully, only to realize that these were just the textbooks from the first to the tenth year of the Sword Control Department!


    ¡°Teacher Zuo, considering I graduated under your guidance, if Teacher Che asks me what I learned in your class, what should I say?¡±


    Chen Mobai, holding his graduation certificate and sighing, thought about Che Yucheng¡¯s previous advice. He made a long face and refused to leave.


    Upon hearing this, Zuo Gong¡¯s eyebrows twitched.


    He pondered that indeed, if this kid went around the academy claiming that he learned nothing in the Sword Control Department, wouldn¡¯t it make it seem as if Zuo Gong had nothing important to impart?

    In the end, Zuo Gong sent him an electronic version of a book called ¡°Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill¡±, containing all the Sword Sha techniques he had collected from the immortal sects.


    Chen Mobai glanced at it, slightly disdainful.


    The sequel development of his Red Flame Sword Jue is ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡±!


    So this stuff is of no use to him, moreover, due to the lack of resources in the immortal sect, only thirteen of the seventy-two types of Evil Qi of the earth can be collected.


    Among the thirteen types of Evil Qi of the earth, six are on the verge of extinction and are not allowed to be mined and extracted for refining spells or Sword Sha.


    In other words, the Evil Qi that the immortal sect can use for refining is only of seven types.


    Although the Evil Qi of the earth can be combined with different Sword light to generate thousands of Sword Sha, in fact, the highest cost-effective and strong fighting ones are those that can be counted on fingers.


    ¡°Go to the last section.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s undisguised expression, Zuo Gong irritably told him to directly look at the results of his lifelong research.


    Chen Mobai oh¡¯d and turned to the last section:


    [The feasibility of multiple Sword Sha complementing each other and forming a Sword Devil Array]


    Surprised by the beginning, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but read on.


    Generally speaking, sword cultivators only condense one kind of Sword Sha, because they need to specialize in one, so that they can cultivate the ultimate realm of sword Dao, ¡°one sword shatters all laws¡±.


    For many sword cultivators, especially those in the immortal sect, only a few can actually cultivate Sword Sha.


    Generally speaking, out of ten Gold Core sword cultivators, only one or two have enough resources and strength to get the Evil Qi of the earth, and condense all their sword light into Sword Sha.


    The rest of the sword cultivators can only buy one or two Sword Sha to symbolize that they have entered the fifth realm of sword cultivation.


    Under these circumstances, Zuo Gong thought about whether they could use these one or two Sword Sha to play a might as strong as that of the full Sword Sha.


    In addition to being a sword cultivator, Zuo Gong himself is also a Rank-3 array master. He studied ground arrays deeply, collected all Sword Sha techniques circulated in the market of the immortal sect, and finally wrote this ¡°Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill¡±.


    Two Rites Sword Devil, Triple Interplay Sword Devil, Four Poles Sword Devil, Five Elements Sword Devil, Six Controls Sword Devil, Seven-Star Sword Devil, Desolated Eightfold Sword Devil, Ninty Heavens Sword Devil.


    From one to nine, all have corresponding ideas and a substantial theoretical foundation, but now Zuo Gong only completed the simplest Two Rites Sword Devil and Five Elements Sword Devil.


    In addition to those, due to a lack of corresponding Evil Qi for experiments, others are still in paper form.


    ¡°Since the publication of the Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill, apart from a few old friends who have discussed it together, you are the first student I have ever given it to. I hope that one day you will complete all the Sword Devil arrays I have envisioned.¡±


    When saying this, Zuo Gong also sighed deeply.


    If possible, he really wanted to personally complete all the theories in the Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t have enough funds, and those above him were not willing to allocate the budget.


    Zuo Gong understood very well. After all, there were many more important experiments ahead of this one.


    Perhaps, when war breaks out, the theories in the ¡°Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill¡± will be valued by the immortal sect.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Zuo.¡±


    After reading, Chen Mobai happily left Zuo Gong¡¯s office with his diploma, went upstairs and arrived at Che Yucheng¡¯s office.


    ¡°How was it?¡±


    Che Yucheng asked.


    ¡°Teacher Zuo really gave me his final powerful technique.¡±


    Chen Mobai happily told Che Yucheng about the ¡°Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill¡±.


    ¡°You, you¡¯re still too young.¡±


    Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Che Yucheng sighed deeply.


    ¡°The Sword Destruction Collection is not even necessary to prove in the immortal sect. Zuo Gong has an image of a sword technique of the immortal sect, which is the most valuable thing in the Sword Control Department of Dance Tool Dao Academy. I originally wanted you to take a look at this, who knows, you might even comprehend some mysteries of ¡®one sword breaks ten thousand laws¡¯.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai looked regretful, as if he had truly been fooled by Zuo Gong.


    In fact, he was thinking that there could be many kinds of Evil Qi in the Tianhe Realm. Later, he would go to the Book Pavilion to check some information, or ask in the Technique Transfer Department.


    After all, he is now a peerless sword cultivation genius under the attention of the sect leader. It is a very normal thing to prepare for Sword Sha in advance.


    ¡°Teacher, isn¡¯t it said that only the three Hall Masters can practice the sword technique of the immortal sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai skillfully changed the subject.


    He was well acquainted with the ¡°Immortal Gate Sword Technique,¡± one of the seven Divinity Transformation Techniques.


    This is the symbol of the Immortal Gate¡¯s master, embodying the strongest breakthrough, combat, and killing force.


    ¡°The third-generation Kaiyuan Hall Master hailed from our Dance Tool Dao Academy. During his return visit to his alma mater, he demonstrated the Immortal Gate Sword Technique atop Crimson Mountain,¡±


    explained Che Yucheng. Chen Mobai acknowledged this with a sound of understanding.


    However, he felt that with his current realm, observing the Immortal Gate Sword Technique wouldn¡¯t yield much benefit.


    The ¡°Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill¡± might be more useful, possibly even allowing him to shine in the Tianhe Realm.


    Maybe when he reaches Core Formation in the future, he could ask Zuo Gong to see the Immortal Gate Sword Technique. Zuo Gong wouldn¡¯t refuse him, right?


    If Zuo Gong refused, Chen could always attempt to contend for one of the three Great Hall Master seats.


    His biggest childhood dream was to become the master of the Immortal Gate, after all!


    Right now, his short-term goal was to attain Perfection in Foundation Establishment, the long-term goal, for the time being, was set on this.


    Thinking this to himself, Chen Mobai asked Che Yucheng about entering the Treasure Trove.


    ¡°You¡¯re lucky, all procedures are already complete. Take this, Shao Yang will be waiting at the rear mountain¡¯s entrance tomorrow.¡±


    As Che Yucheng spoke, he handed Chen Mobai a recommendation letter stamped with the official seal of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Thank you, teacher.¡±


    Chen Mobai genuinely thanked the old man before him, knowing that without Che Yucheng¡¯s intervention, he wouldn¡¯t have been recommended so easily, and he would¡¯ve also been delayed by the Academy¡¯s related procedures.


    ¡°Prepare some clean clothes and toiletries. The Treasure Trove has a Rank-5 Spirit Vein. Although most of the spiritual energy is used to cultivate Magic Artifacts, if you¡¯re lucky, you might find a lower-grade Rank-4 Cave Dwelling for cultivation.¡±


    Che Yucheng reminded Chen Mobai about what he needed to pay attention to in the Treasure Trove. Chen listened attentively, taking mental notes.


    When he returned home in the evening,


    He put his belongings in the storage bag, then put the bag into his backpack. He stuffed some clothes in there as camouflage before transporting himself to the Tianhe Realm.


    Standing atop Xiao Nanshan, a place he hadn¡¯t visited in a long time, Chen Mobai felt supremely relaxed as he inhaled the fresh, natural air.


    He activated the array and arrived halfway up the mountain.


    With his gold-rimmed glasses bought from Red Sandstone City, he looked down at the overturned and re-graded Spirit Fields, nodding in satisfaction.


    Zhuo Ming was quite competent. Some Spirit Fields were even fully sown already.


    Some fields had been planted with Gold Edge Bamboo ¨C the only Rank-2 Spirit Rice planting method known to the Divine Wood Sect.


    First, bamboo is grown. Once the bamboo sprouts, the grains are sealed inside using a special method. Ten years later, when the bamboo is split open, the mature Jade Bud Lingmi absorbs the bamboo¡¯s fragrant spiritual energy, transforming it into Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    The only downside is that the bamboo withers after the Spirit Rice is harvested.


    This is essentially the same concept as picking bamboo fruits.


    This planting method was acquired by the Divine Wood Sect in a heavy cost auction at a grand bazaar event before they separated from the Five Elements Sect.


    Chen Mobai felt there should be a better way.


    The Rank-2 Water Clear Rice from his old home, Green Mountain Village, only took six years to mature.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice had a complicated planting process and a long maturation time of ten years. It definitely needed improvement.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare bring out mature cereal seeds from the Immortal Gate that had been improved over thousands of years.


    Because in the Tianhe realm, the high-ranked Spirit Rice was the lifeline of the major trade guilds. If it suddenly appeared, it would likely be targeted.


    The only Grade-3 Spirit Rice seeds in the Eastern Wasteland could be purchased and planted only with permission from Back To Sky Valley.


    Even though Back To Sky Valley purchases cereals from the Star Heaven trade guild every year at great expense, the returns after the harvest are even greater. Moreover, the trading of this Rank-3 Spirit Rice only accepts high-grade Spirit Stones.

 Chapter 288 - Chapter 288: Chapter 252: Dividing the Treasure_l

    Chapter 288: Chapter 252: Dividing the Treasure_l


    Just as Chen Mobai was watching the flow of spiritual energy in Xiao Nanshan¡¯s sixty acres of fertile land, Zhuo Ming, who had received his sound transmission talisman, had already arrived.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    Zhuo Ming came with a straw hat on her head, a bamboo basket slung over her right arm, and bare feet. Despite her feet being fair and clean, Chen Mobai could see that the hems of her trousers were speckled with mud.


    It seemed that when she came over, she was barefoot in the field, checking the newly planted seedlings.


    After receiving his summon, although she had washed her feet, the rolled up hems of her trousers were still wet, indicating the signs of her recent busyness.


    ¡°Stand up, you have been working hard these days.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very pleased with his disciple. Although many in the Divine Wood Sect could not understand why this promising genius had chosen an ordinary Qi Cultivation disciple, had he chosen someone with Heavenly Spiritual Roots and asked him to plough the soil and nurture seedlings, he certainly wouldn¡¯t have found such an obedient and diligent disciple as Zhuo Ming.


    Putting all else aside, if he had asked his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo, to farm, although he would not refuse, he would certainly have his reservations.


    Sometimes, disciples like Zhuo Ming, who come from a hardship-borne Loose Cultivator background, are better behaved and more understanding.


    ¡°It¡¯s not hard work, especially since it helps my cultivation.¡±


    Zhuo Ming got up and showcased her cultivation of the Mother Earth Scripture. In half a year, she had reached the third level of Qi Cultivation.


    Chen Mobai nodded, asked her some questions concerning cultivation. Having twice undergone the process of changing the Qi Cultivation Technique, he was very familiar with it.


    Although converting Wood Attribute spiritual power into Earth Attribute entails first transforming it into Fire Attribute spiritual power, thereby inevitably resulting in partial loss of spiritual power.


    However, Zhuo Ming, due to her excellent Earth Spirit Root, and the earth energy from the sixty-acre Spirit Field, had compensated for the lost Longevity Spiritual Power and even made her experience a rapid increase in levels and a breakthrough for the first time.


    The reason why she only managed to recover to the third level of Qi Cultivation in half a year is not because she lost too much during the transition but because she deliberately suppressed her progress.


    In actual fact, there is still 70% of the unconverted Longevity Spiritual Power in Zhuo Ming¡¯s Dantian Qi sea.


    ¡°Mmm, the fact that you can maintain a calm and steady attitude will increase your chances of successful Foundation Establishment in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt Zhuo Ming¡¯s pulse, probed the state of the spiritual power in her body, and nodded with satisfaction.


    Even though all cultivators are at Qi Cultivation Perfection and have the aid of Foundation Building Pills, why is it that of the 24 true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, only a handful can successfully establish their foundations?


    The gap is in these details.


    Understanding of Cultivation Technique, refinement of spiritual power, nurturing of the spirit and so forth. If there is a flaw in any of these aspects, it may prevent successful Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    As the Teacher and Disciple were discussing about sowing and transplanting seedlings, Liu Wenbo, who had received the news, arrived.


    ¡°Come, follow me up.¡±


    With both disciples present, he could proceed with the division of treasures.


    Arriving at the wooden house at the peak of the mountain, Zhuo Ming immediately went in and brought out a chair. Chen Mobai took the seat without delay.


    ¡°During my retreat, I made some progress in Sword Dao¡­.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, Master.¡±


    Without Chen Mobai completing his sentence, both disciples were already beaming with joy, more excited than he was.


    However, this was understandable as in the Tianhe Realm, the master-disciple bond is even more intimate than the blood bond.


    A high-ranking cultivator lives for hundreds or even thousands of years. The longer one lives, the distant their relatives and descendants become, and disciples who remain by their side often become closest.


    ¡°These Magic Artifacts were used by me during my Qi Cultivation period. I no longer need them, so I am giving them to you guys.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t beat around the bush. He was going to the Treasure Trove tomorrow and time was running out so he got straight to the point.


    With a sweep of his large sleeve, four spiritual lights flew out, landing in front of each disciple.


    Zhuo Ming received a dark golden needle box and a wooden umbrella, while Liu Wenbo was presented with a green kerchief and a brass ring.


    Both disciples were even more delighted, but they seemed somewhat embarrassed.


    ¡°You can both have them.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    Following Chen Mobai¡¯s words, both disciples gleefully accepted the Magic Artifacts in front of them.


    ¡°Wen Bo, your Green Kerchief is a Rank-1 intermediate grade Defensive Magic Weapon. It can be controlled by a very simple method, all you need to do is inject it with spiritual power.¡±


    ¡°However, this brass ring is one of the things that contributed to my success in the Sword Dao Realm.¡±


    ¡°Today, I am giving it to you in hopes that you too will achieve success in Sword Dao.¡±


    With that, Chen Mobai explained the history of the Casting Sword Ring to the two.


    Learning that it was a secret treasure for Sword Training passed down by Golden Cliff, Liu Wenbo could not help showing a moving gesture, and excitedly paid his respects to Chen Mobai.


    This was a lineal inheritance!


    Chen Mobai really regarded him as a true disciple.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Stand up, however, one¡¯s progress in Sword Dao depends on their talent. Your main goal now is still to achieve Perfection in Qi Cultivation and strive to get a good ranking in this year¡¯s sect competition.¡±


    With a wave of his hand, Chen Mobai pulled Liu Wenbo up using his spiritual power.


    During the sect competition at the end of last year, although Chen Mobai was meeting with friends and relatives in Red Sandstone City, he took two days off to watch the competition in Divine Wood City and had a few drinks with Qi Ruiyuan and Chi Ye, his old friends.


    Unfortunately, Liu Wenbo¡¯s accumulation was not enough, and he was eliminated before the final two rounds of the competition.


    Since the disciples who were deemed true disciples by the previous generation all took the Foundation Building Pill when the Divine Tree Secret Realm was opened. The ones who failed had no choice but to go out and fight for the position of True Disciple once again. That is why last year¡¯s Sect competition was more intense than the previous ones.

 Chapter 289 - Chapter 289: Chapter 252 Divide the Treasure 2

    Chapter 289: Chapter 252 Divide the Treasure 2


    But without Chen Mobai, an extraordinary being capable of suppressing all heroes with a single sword, Mu Yuan took the first place without any dispute. As for his other disciple, Zhuo Ming, her participation was for gaining experience.


    She was eliminated in the first round.


    However, her opponent knew that this chubby-faced junior sister at Qi cultivation third stage was last year¡¯s top real-world student and the new Foundation Establishment elder Chen Mobai¡¯s disciple, and was lenient, just pushing her off the stage.


    The most regrettable was Qi Rui.


    He, along with Liu Wenbo, followed Xi Jinghuo to the Golden Cliff for further training. He felt that his swordsmanship had improved, and he believed he was at the peak of Qi cultivation in both talisman and swordcraft, but unfortunately, he ran into Feng Hongxue, who had failed the Foundation Establishment and had to start again, and still fell before reaching the real- world stage.


    However, after this battle, Qi Rui was full of confidence.


    Because Feng Hongxue also lost in the next round to Qi Hou after a life-and- death struggle with him, this means that he indeed has the strength of the real world.


    There are still five years left. He is confident that he can achieve the real-world status and obtain a Foundation Building Pill in the year when the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom matures.


    Teacher, I will not disappoint you, this year I must become a real-world practitioner.¡±


    Liu Wenbo put on the brass ring, injected his spiritual power according to the method taught by Chen Mobai, and felt the evolution of the Sword Qi, full of confidence.


    His Longevity Spiritual Power has shown signs of breaking through to Qi Cultivation¡¯s 9th stage, at which time, combined with the casting sword ring, he can complete the family¡¯s secret skill, the BiBo Sword Qi.


    Even if he can¡¯t suppress all the real-world practitioners with one sword like his teacher Chen Mobai, he must at least occupy a real-world position and not disgrace his teacher.


    Liu Wenbo, who believes he has inherited Chen Mobai¡¯s mantle, quietly resolved his decision in his heart.


    Zhuo Ming also looked envious on the side. Who would like to farm if they can defeat the enemy with one sword?


    This needle box¡¯s magic artifact refinement technique is¡­¡±


    After telling Liu Wenbo about the refinement methods of his two magic artifacts, Chen Mobai turned to talk about Zhuo Ming¡¯s two artifacts.


    Zhuo Ming, who received such precious magic artifacts for the first time, had all of her attention drawn by the needle box and the five-phase umbrella¡¯. When she heard that the five-phase umbrella was a rank-1 top-grade defense magic weapon, she was shocked and opened her mouth wide.


    ¡°Master, this is too valuable.¡±


    Defense magic artifacts of the same grade are at least one level higher in price than attack magic artifacts and must be at least one-third higher.


    If you put the casting sword ring and the five-phase umbrella together for a cultivator to choose from, everyone except the sword cultivators would choose the five-phase umbrella.


    ¡°Among my disciples, you are the weakest, so take it.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s truthful words did not discourage Zhuo Ming at all.


    She joyfully held the wooden umbrella in her hand, inserted her spiritual power into the handle using the new refinement method she had learned, and opened the umbrella with a ¡°pap¡± sound.


    ¡°Wen Bo, give it a try.¡±


    Upon the master¡¯s order, Liu Wenbo raised his thumb, where he just put on the casting sword ring, and conjured a gush of blue Sword Qi, slashing at the surface of the five-phase umbrella.


    A rustling noise, like the sound of rain falling on the umbrella, resonated. Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t feel the pressure of the Sword Qi, but her face turned pale.


    Her spiritual power was about to be drained.


    Chen Mobai immediately helped her to close the five-phase umbrella.


    ¡°You should be barely able to control it when you reach the sixth stage of Qi cultivation.¡±


    Zhuo Ming took a moment to rest. Holding the five-phase umbrella, her face was crimson and filled with joy.


    ¡°When you have a chance in the future, get familiar with the refining techniques of these two magical tools. Both the needle box and the five-phase umbrella are magical tools that require much experience to use.¡±


    In the past, Chen Mobai had displayed quite a few tricks using these two magical artifacts.


    Zhuo Ming, a cultivator born and raised in the Tianhe Realm, had also experienced many magic duels and had spent several years coming and going in the cloud dream marsh.


    She should be able to break through to the latter stage of Qi cultivation after her Longevity Spiritual Power is completely transformed. At that time, with these two magic tools, she might make it to the third round of the sect competition. ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    After the two disciples thanked him again, Chen Mobai earnestly asked if they had any confusion in their cultivation.


    Liu Wenbo was ready to ask for advice on breaking through to the ninth stage of Qi cultivation, and Zhuo Ming, who was practicing earth spiritual power for the first time, had also accumulated many questions.


    After Chen Mobai finished answering all the questions, he discovered that it was already dusk.


    Knowing their master¡¯s fondness for food and drinks, Zhuo Ming went down the mountain to pick up some fresh bamboo shoots, and Liu Wenbo caught some Spirit Fish kept in the paddy fields. They both showed off their skills by making a lot of dishes.


    Chen Mobai even opened a jar of last year¡¯s Jade Bud Spirit Wine.


    ¡°Oh, what a coincidence.¡±


    Just as the three disciples were about to start eating, a green light fell from the sky, and Yuan Chiye descended from the heavens, smiling at the lavish banquet before him.


    ¡°Come on, we were just missing a drinking buddy.¡±


    On seeing Yuan Chiye, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up and he immediately invited him over.


    Though his two disciples were pretty good, their status was a generation lower, making them a bit restrained when drinking with him. The arrival of Yuan Chiye was perfect.


    I thought of catching up with you before leaving the sect, but didn¡¯t expect to make it in time for such a good meal.¡±


    ¡°Oh, so you¡¯re going back to Yun Meng Ze?¡±


    Not exactly. A Sapphire vein within the territory of Lei Nation was found to have accompanying Spirit Stones. This could be a miniature Spirit Stone mine. The six major cultivation families in the area had been keeping it a secret, not reporting it. Several people died when they divided the benefits unequally amongst themselves and the local sect¡¯s town guard discovered their plot.¡± Yuan Chiye explained his mission briefly.


    Although he had already achieved Foundation Establishment, he still had not paid off all the contributions and Spirit Stones he owed to the sect, so he accepted this task given out by the Spirit Vein department.


    ¡°Are you going alone?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a little worried, since all families who are treated as cultivation families by the Divine Wood Sect had Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed there.


    ¡°I¡¯m just going to assist the town guard of Lei Nation¡¯s sect and investigate the production output of that Spirit Stone mine. The sect has already informed Brother Zhou about this matter. He will also depart from Yun Meng Ze with some people and head to Lei Nation. The worst-case scenario would be the sect taking action and wiping out the six cultivation families.¡±


    Yuan Chiye spoke casually while discussing all this.


    For cultivators in the Tianhe Realm, annihilating sects seemed to be an everyday occurrence.


    However, according to the rules of Immortal Sects, every resource, above and below the earth, is national property and must be reported immediately upon discovery.


    As Lei Nation is a secular force of the Divine Wood Sect and they discovered a


    Spirit Stone Mine, it naturally belongs to their sect.


    ¡°Then I wish you a successful journey.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m borrowing your good luck. Oh, Sister Yan discovered a Foundation Establishment cultivator¡¯s cave dwelling, but she can¡¯t break the array by herself. She wants to invite three fellow sect members to help. She came to me, but I just accepted this task in Lei Nation. If you¡¯re interested, you can invite her for a talk.¡±


    As Yuan Chiye left, he gave Chen Mobai some information.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in agreement, but deep down he didn¡¯t want to leave at all.


    He was very comfortable staying here in Giant Tree Ridge, and he was just about to enter the Treasure Trove. Whoever wants to go to a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator¡¯s cave dwelling can go.


    After Yuan Chiye left, the two disciples had already tidied up the mess of plates and cups on the mountain top.


    ¡°I have come to some realizations and need to seclude myself for a short period. Unless it¡¯s really necessary, don¡¯t disturb me.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming looked at each other.


    Why did their master have another realization?


    Up to now, neither of them had experienced such profound insights.


    Obviously, they, being ordinary humans, could not compare to their master who was an exceptional genius.


    After the two with respectful expressions left down the mountain, the Cloud Mist Array started again, blocking off the peak of Xiao Nanshan.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The next day, when Yan Jinye, who came for a visit, heard Zhuo Ming¡¯s words, she could only regretfully go find another senior sister, while looking at him with admiration.


    At the back mountain of Crimson City.


    Chen Mobai, carrying a backpack, handed over the recommendation form in his hand to a tall young man with sword-like eyebrows and a robust physique.


    ¡°I am Qin Beichen.¡±


    The man who spoke was none other than Chen Mobai¡¯s official mentor at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the Real Man of Shaoyang, Qin Beichen.

 Chapter 290 - Chapter 290: Chapter 253: The Real Shaoyang l

    Chapter 290: Chapter 253: The Real Shaoyang l


    ¡°Hello, Master Qin.¡±


    Chen Mobai greeted politely.


    ¡°Follow me. The Formation in the Treasure Trove is quite powerful. It requires a Gold Core Master to lead the way in order to enter.¡±


    Qin Beichen sized up Chen Mobai, nodded slightly, and turned to lead the way. The two arrived at the back mountain of Crimson City, one after the other.


    Here lies a canyon among the mountains. One could see streams flowing down from the tops of the mountains and lush trees amongst it, surrounded by green grass with multicolored flowers.


    ¡°We¡¯re here.¡±


    Qin Beichen led Chen Mobai to the center of the canyon.


    Looking down, it was a massive pit of unknown depth.


    The entrance of the hole was about a hundred meters in diameter with a steep wall. Numerous tunnels were dug into the sides, though their destination were unknown.


    ¡°So, this is the Treasure Trove?¡±


    The place only existed in legends with no images or videos for reference online. Seeing it for the first time, Chen Mobai found it quite ordinary.


    ¡°This place was originally an abandoned Spirit Stone Mine left over from the prehistoric Daoist regime. Despite its rich Spiritual Energy, it initially only had Rank-3 Spirit Veins.¡±


    ¡°One of the five ancestors of the immortal Dao, Ancestor Yunya, discovered this place. He perceived the mystery under the Spirit Stone Mine, used the Heaven Reaching Great Method to penetrate through the layers of the mine, and found the first Vermillion Fruit Tree within the underground currents.¡± ¡°Below the currents, he discovered the Red Iron Mine. Unsatisfied, Yunya kept drilling through the earth crust until he finally reached the core of the Crimson Mountain Spirit Vein and found a Rank-5 Earth Vein Spirit Pearl.¡±


    ¡°Later, Yunya established the Dance Tool Dao Academy here to pass down his Daoist Lineage and Great Method.¡±


    As Qin Beichen spoke, he stretched out his hand and unfolded a misty cloud. It encircled the both of them, and they levitated, descending towards the underground cavern.


    At that moment, a red glow rose from the depths of the Treasure Trove. Chen Mobai felt a horrifying temperature that could potentially turn him into ashes.


    ¡°This is Fire Godlight, the inheritance of our Dance Tool Dao Academy, a defensive prohibition laid by a Divinity Transformation Elder. Even a Nascent Soul Master wouldn¡¯t dare to trespass rashly.¡±


    As Qin Beichen spoke, Chen Mobai watched as the red divine light descended upon them.


    Qin Beichen flashed his teacher ID, while Chen Mobai promptly took out his student ID stored in his bag.


    After the Fire Godlight scanned their proof of identity, it halted before them.


    Qin Beichen quickly produced the official, stamped recommendation letter. The Fire Godlight, seemingly sentient, scanned the document. After verifying its authenticity, it slowly dissipated.


    A sparkle of fire came to life.


    Chen Mobai watched as the recommendation paper in Qin Beichen¡¯s hand suddenly ignited. Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    This meant that his identity had been registered into the Fire Godlight and, within this year, he could come and go from the Treasure Trove freely with his student ID.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to meet the manager of the Treasure Trove.¡±


    Wrapping them in his misty light, Qin Beichen began to descend. Chen Mobai felt the surrounding Spiritual Energy get denser and denser. After descending about three hundred meters, he peeked through his gold-rimmed glasses; they were already at Rank-3.


    And this was just the beginning.


    As they kept descending, around one thousand meters deep, Chen Mobai found that energy shown on his glasses had reached Rank-3 of the intermediate grade¡­


    When they hit three thousand meters, the Spiritual Energy Value had reached the lower level of Rank-4.


    The temperature outside was increasing. Even with Qin Beichen¡¯s misty light to shield him, he could not help but sweat.


    And they were yet to reach the bottom. Not until they were twenty-eight thousand meters deep, did Chen Mobai¡¯s right lens suddenly crack from the middle.


    The glasses could only measure Spiritual Energy Value up to the upper levels of Rank-4.


    Apparently, the concentration of Spiritual Energy here had exceeded Rank-4, reaching Rank-5.


    Chen Mobai did not dare to act rashly and stayed under Qin Beichen¡¯s protection, watching the crack on the lens grow longer.


    ¡°We¡¯re here.¡±


    Finally, Qin Beichen¡¯s voice echoed.


    Chen Mobai let out a sigh of relief and stopped to take off his glasses when¡­ There was a ¡®snap¡¯!


    Unable to bear the pressure, the lens shattered. Half of it flew out of the cloud of misty light.


    Then, Chen Mobai watched as the lens instantly vaporized.


    The temperature outside was so high that a human couldn¡¯t possibly endure it.


    Hovering mid-air, he looked down to see a lava flow beneath him. The scorching atmosphere filled his surroundings.


    Chen Mobai finally understood why one needed a Gold Core Master to come here.


    If one were to be careless at the depths of the Treasure Trove, even a True Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment could face danger.


    Qin Beichen used his misty cloud to take Chen Mobai toward the center of the lava. Soon, they arrived above a dark red island in the middle of the lava.


    Strangely enough, Chen Mobai, who had been feeling quite hot, felt a sense of coolness as soon as he set foot on the island.

    Looking around, the island was not very large, about two to three thousand square meters.


    The center of the island was dominated by a fiery red Vermillion Fruit Tree, laden with plump Vermillion Fruit. Seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    Was this the only Rank-5 Vermillion Fruit Tree in the Dance Tool Dao Academy?


    He followed Qin Beichen to a stone house under the tree.


    A red-haired woman stood there..

 Chapter 291 - Chapter 291: Chapter 253 True Man of Shaoyang_2

    Chapter 291: Chapter 253 True Man of Shaoyang_2


    Qin Beichen beheld her and made an extremely respectful bow.


    ¡°Teacher Duanmu, it¡¯s been a long time.¡±


    The woman with fiery red hair was average in terms of facial features, with slightly darkened skin, but her curvaceous figure, thin waist, long legs, and exceptional height (almost comparable to Qin Beichen) made her stand out.


    She was Duanmu Longrong, the caretaker of the Treasure Trove, as well as the deputy principal of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Hmm, this is your student, right?¡±


    Duanmu Longrong turned her head, sized up Chen Mobai, and he immediately bowed in greeting.


    ¡°Take this.¡±


    A small, dark, red iron piece, about the size of a thumb, flew out of Duanmu Longrong¡¯s hand and fell in front of Chen Mobai, who immediately accepted it with thanks.


    It was a ¡°Device Piece¡±.


    As a key, it could be used to unlock magic artifacts nurtured in the Treasure Trove.


    A ¡°Device Piece¡± could unlock one magical artifact.


    As for the type of magic artifact that can be unlocked, it would all depend on one¡¯s luck and fate.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Duanmu. I¡¯ll take him up now.¡±


    After Qin Beichen had completed his duty, he did not linger. He activated his cloud energy once more, wrapping Chen Mobai and himself within, and swiftly returned to the cave entrance at the back of Crimson Mountain.


    ¡°Since I¡¯m your mentor, I should take this rare opportunity to fulfill my responsibilities.¡±


    Qin Beichen led Chen Mobai to a pavilion at the back of the mountain. After they sat down, he initiated the conversation by asking if Chen Mobai had any doubts.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it said that the Treasure Trove nurtures over 10,000 magic artifacts? Why didn¡¯t I see any?¡±


    Before arriving, Che Yucheng had only told Chen Mobai the most basic details, such as the ¡°Device Piece¡± and the ¡°Fire Godlight¡±. It would be a missed opportunity not to ask questions of his mentor who was obviously a long-time resident of the back mountain.


    ¡°Do you know the origins of the Treasure Trove?¡±


    After receiving an affirmative answer from Chen Mobai, Qin Beichen conjured a white jade sphere, about the size of a human skull, and passed it over to him.


    It seemed that this mentor also possessed a storage space of at least the sphere¡¯s dimension.


    He was just curious whether it was a magic artifact, or perhaps a personal void space refined directly from a Void Stone.


    While his mind was on other matters, Chen Mobai asked about the origin of the white jade sphere in a curious manner.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    ¡°This is a ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯. It is made from crushed Spirit Stone mixed with other spiritual mineral materials to cultivate magic artifacts. After it is filled with specially made Spiritual Water, a magic artifact can be placed inside. This ensures that the artifact will not decay or decline in grade even when not cultivated by a cultivator.¡±


    This was the first time Chen Mobai had encountered such an artifact. He held it in his hand and turned it around. Indeed, he found a groove about the size of a fingernail on one side of the Device Nurturing Sphere, perfectly designed to fit a Device Piece.


    ¡°The artifacts in the Treasure Trove were sealed and placed there by graduates of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Those cultivators returned here before their imminent death to personally place their proudest artifacts inside.¡±


    ¡°As for the specific location of an artifact within the Treasure Trove, the Daoist Academy does not deliberately search for them. And so, over thousands of years, it¡¯s become possible to find a Device Nurturing Sphere anywhere within the Treasure Trove.¡±


    ¡°The way to unlock a Device Nurturing Sphere is through a ¡®Device Piece¡¯. Throughout the year, as long as your body can bear it, you can search the Treasure Trove countless times. However, you only have one chance to choose and take away a Device Nurturing Sphere for unlocking.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s face reflected enlightenment.


    However, another question soon arose in his mind.


    ¡°Looking at this ¡®Device Piece¡¯, it doesn¡¯t seem difficult to forge. Has no one tried it?¡±


    According to the previous experience of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, a true cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage could find four or five Device Nurturing Spheres in the Treasure Trove over a year. Most people would wait until the end of the term, then choose to unlock the one they were most confident in.


    So, had anyone ever cracked the code of the ¡®Device Piece¡¯?


    ¡°Do you think that a Device Nurturing Sphere is opened with this ¡®Device Piece¡¯?¡±


    Qin Beichen shook his head. Suddenly, an additional ¡®Device Piece¡¯ identical to Chen Mobai¡¯s appeared in his hand, and then he inserted it directly into the Device Nurturing Sphere in front of him.


    With a crisp crack!


    A red glow ascended from afar, resembling a long dragon of flames which flew into the Device Nurturing Sphere.


    Subsequently, the white jade sphere the size of a skull turned into ashes in an instant, scattering across the ground, revealing a palm-sized red mist.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually another ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯.¡±


    When Qin Beichen shook his head and sighed, Chen Mobai was already shocked.


    ¡°Master, was that just now¡­¡±


    If he hadn¡¯t seen wrong, the Device Piece he just touched was real, which implies that the Device Nurturing Sphere he played with before was also real?


    ¡°As a full professor of the Daoist Academy, I can get twenty credits every year. Saving for five years allows me to exchange for a Device Piece. Unfortunately, my luck seems to be average and I got a duplicate magic artifact.¡±


    In order to let Chen Mobai understand the principle of Device Pieces, Qin Beichen demonstrated it on the spot.


    In the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Device Pieces can also be exchanged with credits, costing too credits each.


    ¡°The Device Nurturing Sphere is one of the masterpieces of our Taoist Institute¡¯s Artifact-refining Department. However, most of the restrictions inside are set by cultivators who seal the magic artifacts themselves, and they can be very unpredictable. Therefore, after inserting the Device Piece, they will attract the Fire Godlight from the back mountain to sweep away the restrictions inside.¡±


    Having said this, Qin Beichen reached out to pick up the red mist, then directly threw it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Take it. I already have a better one.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t possibly take it!¡±


    Even though he said that, Chen Mobai¡¯s hands had already involuntarily reached out to take the red mist, but the heat forced him to withdraw his hands.


    ¡°¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯ is also considered one of the signature artifacts of our Dance Tool Dao Academy. It is refined using the spiritual energy steam ejected from the magma at the bottom of the Treasure Trove, red iron blocks, fire jade shavings and magma. Apart from being used as a flying tool, it also provides impressive defense, especially against fire spells, which it can block most of.¡±


    When Qin Beichen finished speaking, Chen Mobai remembered the smoke he had brought down to the bottom of the Treasure Trove.


    More than 20,000 meters below the earth¡¯s crust, it could isolate the terrifying high temperature, causing him to only break out in a slight sweat. This showed just how powerful this artifact is.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    His words, calling him ¡®Master¡¯, echoed surely and vividly.


    Qin Beichen nodded and gave a few more words of caution.


    ¡°When you go down, you should be able to see the tunnels carved into the cave walls. These were dug by ancient cultivators when this place was a Spirit Stone Mine. The tunnels are intricate, spanning throughout the top 3,000 meters of the Treasure Trove like a spiderweb.¡±


    ¡°Generally, this where students like you will operate. If you go deeper than 3,000 meters, you will need to do your own digging and might not necessarily find anything of worth.¡±


    ¡°You can select a tunnel as your resting place. If you¡¯re thirsty, come up and drink some mountain spring water; if you¡¯re hungry, eat some fasting pills.¡±


    ¡°The spiritual energy here is the most vigorous in all of Crimson Mountain. The headmaster signed a contract to lease the Treasure Trove for another 600 years from the immortal gate a hundred years ago. Since you are cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, don¡¯t waste this place¡¯s powerful Fire Vein spiritual energy.¡±


    After finishing his words, Qin Beichen got up to leave.


    ¡°Master, let¡¯s become good friends.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately took out his phone, saved Qin Beichen¡¯s contact information, and the latter disappeared from the spot.


    He was set to seclude himself for his Cultivation of the Pure Yang Body again.


    Chen Mobai looked at the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± in his hand and felt a little guilty.


    After all, he was currently using the Eternal Life Sutra to establish his Foundation, and his Pure Yang Scroll was still stuck at Qi Cultivation Perfection.


    Luckily, the Immortal Gate highly respects personal privacy, they won¡¯t actively inquire about someone¡¯s cultivation level and cultivation technique. Thus, Qin Beichen still believes that Chen Mobai established this foundation through the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Speaking of the Pure Yang Scroll, at the end of last year, Ming Yuhua attempted to establish his foundation by condensing ten droplets of Liquid Spiritual Power, but he had to stop breaking through because he had to use a critical technique card.


    In comparison, Chen Mobai acknowledged that Ming Yuhua indeed had excellent aptitude.


    You should know when Chen Mobai first tried to establish his Foundation, he only condensed two droplets of Liquid Spiritual Power.


    To establish a Foundation via the Pure Yang Scroll, one needs to condense fifteen droplets of Liquid Spiritual Power, which means they have then finished the step of Condensing Qi into Liquid.

    Compared to Chen Mobai, if Ming Yuhua wasn¡¯t cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, a Divinity Transformation technique, he could at least have reached the stage of Divine Sense Ascending, perhaps even have succeeded in one attempt. Thinking of this, Chen Mobai gave Ming Yuhua a call.


    He explained to him the situation at the Treasure Trove. After hearing what he said, Ming Yuhua was eager to check it out for himself. As an Artifact Refiner, he couldn¡¯t wait to find a Device Nurturing Sphere and open it.


    Unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t get in.


    ¡°By the way, Brother, how do you practice the ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯ artifact?¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai raised the main reason for his call..

 Chapter 292 - Chapter 292: Chapter 254 Fire Spirit Root 531

    Chapter 292: Chapter 254 Fire Spirit Root 531


    Chen Mobai stood at the entrance of the Treasure Trove, taking a deep breath. The faint red cloud of smoke in his hand dispersed, fragmenting into myriads of jade crystal fragments, forming a faint red cloud suspended half a meter above the ground.


    Chen Mobai took a gentle leap and found himself standing on this ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±.


    The sensation was like stepping on a soft rug, incredibly comfortable.


    ¡°It¡¯s just like the flying nimbus in the TV shows I watched as a kid.¡±


    Receiving his own exclusive vehicle for the first time, Chen Mobai was a bit excited.


    He applied spiritual power under his feet, and the Red Misty Cloud Silk immediately radiated a faint red light, then lifted him into the sky.


    The easiness and satisfaction, entirely different from using a flying technique, made Chen Mobai involuntarily indulge in the experience.


    Yesterday he had asked Ming Yuhua how to refine this Red Misty Cloud Silk; she simply sent over a book detailing everything from material extraction, smoke refinement, to the final refining process.


    Chen Mobai selectively flipped to the end of the book.


    After reading the refining mantra, he practiced it all night and finally today, he was able to control this iconic cloud-like magic artifact of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    If he felt like riding a bicycle, exerting his entire body when he was using the flying technique previously,


    Then now, controlling the Red Misty Cloud Silk was more akin to steering a vehicle.


    All it required was infusing spiritual power and then controlling the direction with Divine Sense.


    Chen Mobai navigated through the air with the faint red cloud, carving one colorful arc after another. Gradually, his movements became more flamboyant, ascending and descending, rolling and turning.


    After a good while, his enthusiasm finally diminished.


    The Red Misty Cloud Silk, carrying him like a red cloud, drifted into the Treasure Trove.


    Chen Mobai spotted the tunnel entries on the cave wall, put on his gold- rimmed glasses with only one lens left, and started measuring the spiritual energy value of each entrance.


    Many were wide open, but some had restrictions set up, indicating they were owned by someone.


    Following the generally accepted rules, of course, he wouldn¡¯t intrude without permission.


    First, he tested his limit.


    The Red Misty Cloud Silk continuously descended, swiftly dropping a thousand meters in height.


    By this point, just his physical body could barely endure the heightened temperature around him, he had no choice but to enshroud himself with the Misty Cloud Silk.


    Depending on this Rank-2 magic artifact¡¯s excellent resistance to fire spiritual power, Chen Mobai descended another twelve hundred meters. Here, he felt the consumption rate of his inner spiritual power was a bit too fast.


    Although he felt he could still descend a bit more, Chen Mobai thought there was no need for it.


    With a slight stamp of his foot, he started to turn the Red Misty Cloud Silk around, lifting towards the upper direction.


    As he had already observed the spiritual energy density of most entrances during his descent, he drifted into a pre-marked tunnel entry after ascending eight hundred meters.


    Upon setting foot on the solid ground, Chen Mobai stowed away the Red Misty Cloud Silk.


    The magic artifact transformed into a red jade bracelet, worn on his left wrist, perfectly complementing his pale and glowing skin, appearing extremely beautiful.


    The tunnel maintained its original natural state, dim and narrow, twenty meters ahead there was no light source.


    Well-prepared, Chen Mobai took out an illumination pearl from his backpack.


    This Rank-1 lower-grade magic artifact only required a bit of spiritual power to provide more than seven days of light, the highest-grade illumination pearl can reportedly shine for a thousand years without extinguishing.


    However, the one Chen Mobai had was merely the most common type.


    He manipulated four illumination pearls using the Object Capturing Technique to levitate ten meters ahead of him, two pearls floated behind him, and two floated on his sides. He did not proceed into the depth of the tunnel until the area within the fifty-meter radius was well-lit.


    Recording every step he took, measuring the distance he had covered.


    At the three hundred and sixty-seventh meter, Chen Mobai suddenly came to a halt.


    He looked up above his head.


    A Device Nurturing Sphere was embedded there.


    Under the light of the shine pearl, the pearl-like outer shell emitted a glittering jade glow.


    Under the contrast of the surrounding red iron ore, it glowed with a faint blush, tempting like the skin of a beauty.


    Chen Mobai levitated, closely observing this Device Nurturing Sphere.


    The gold-rimmed glasses could only observe the broad flow of spiritual energy, which was useless at this moment.


    Chen Mobai removed his glasses, his originally pitch-black pupils began to emit a faint clear glow.


    In an instant, the vision in his eyes started changing.


    The surface of the Device Nurturing Sphere of the size of a human skull gradually became transparent, Chen Mobai saw the spiritual liquid filling it up, and a bar-shaped magic artifact at its center.


    It seemed to be a flying sword?


    Chen Mobai thought secretly, infusing his Divine Sense and Spiritual Power into his eyes in a certain proportion, pushing the power of the Void Spirit Eye to the bearable limit of his eyes.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The scene his eyes saw further improved, he vaguely understood why each Device Nurturing Sphere was placed differently.


    The red iron ore surrounding the white jade sphere had strands of Essence of Iron slowly and uniformly integrating through the outer shell of the Device Nurturing Sphere. After being filtered by the spiritual liquid, they were absorbed by the magic artifact at the center.


    Chen Mobai observed the blush on the outer shell of the Device Nurturing Sphere, his face revealing realization.


    This was the impurity of the essence of iron filtered out by the spiritual liquid.


    Waiting over many years, when the effect of the spiritual liquid had completely dissipated, this magic artifact would cease to grow. Worse, because the interior environment of the Device Nurturing Sphere was no longer pure, it might start to decay and even drop in quality.

 Chapter 293 - Chapter 293: 254 Fire Spirit Root 53_2

    Chapter 293: 254 Fire Spirit Root 53_2


    No wonder when opening with a Device Piece, the sphere and spiritual liquid must be completely obliterated by the Fire Godlight.


    They have become useless now.


    Yesterday, while chatting with Ming Yuhua, he mentioned that the efficacy of this nurturing spiritual liquid generally lasts from one hundred to a thousand years.


    The Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, a treasure for the Foundation Establishment at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, was actually an unexpected by-product when this nurturing spiritual liquid was initially made.


    No wonder the academy allows students after Foundation Establishment to select magic artifacts here and even use academic credits to exchange for ¡°Device Pieces¡±.


    Because many of the magic artifacts in these Device Nurturing Spheres become junk if no new cultivators develop them for more than a hundred years.


    However, there are two modes to the Device Nurturing Sphere, one being like the one now, placed within the range suitable for the growth of magic artifacts, openly absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world.


    It is for this reason that they could easily be seen through by Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye, which he has just entered the gate of.


    The other mode is a completely enclosed one.


    In this mode, the spiritual liquid inside the Device Nurturing Sphere will not be consumed. Under the circumstances where it does not interact with the external spiritual energy, it can maintain the initial state of magic artifacts even after a thousand years like just sealed.


    Which way to choose depends on the mood of the last owner of the magic artifact just before his demise.


    Or whether a suitable environment for the continued growth of the magic artifact is found in the Treasure Trove.


    Chen Mobai already has the Flying Sparrow Hairpin and Divine Wood Sword and has no desire for magic artifacts such as the Flying Sword.


    So he chose to give up on this Device Nurturing Sphere, did not pluck it, and left it to grow by drawing upon the Essence of Iron here.


    However, before leaving, he still left a mark.


    Wearing glasses again and following the traces of the flow of spiritual energy, Chen Mobai walked another 300 meters in this tunnel until he reached the end.


    There was no way ahead.


    After scanning around with his Void Spirit Eye to confirm that there were no sealed passages, he retraced his steps.


    When he came out of the tunnel entrance, it was high noon outside.


    Half a day had passed.


    Feeling that his spiritual power and divine sense were still full, Chen Mobai once again rode on his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and rose to another entrance to a tunnel with a higher concentration of spiritual energy.


    However, his luck this time was worse. After spending most of the day and exploring all three intersections inside this tunnel, he did not find a single Device Nurturing Sphere.


    After coming out empty-handed, it was completely dark outside.


    The first day in the Treasure Trove passed just like that.


    He did not return to the rented wooden house outside, but directly set up a prohibition in front of this fruitless tunnel entrance, reminding people there, took out a zabuton from his storage bag, held two Spirit Stones and started cultivation.


    Time flew like running water.


    In the blink of an eye, Chen Mobai had stayed in the Treasure Trove for half a


    year.


    Because he found a Device Nurturing Sphere on the first day, Chen Mobai enthusiastically explored the caves for treasures every day for the first half month.


    But it seemed like all his luck was used up on that one day. All his actions afterwards ended in disappointment.


    With time, he began to focus on cultivation.


    With diligent efforts, plus the abundant fire spiritual power here, he finally made a breakthrough in his Pure Yang Daoist Body again, forming a Four Yang


    Body.


    [Spiritual Root: Metal 23, Wood 28, Water 19, Fire 53, and Earth 10] Seeing that his Spiritual Root finally looks like that of a genius, Chen Mobai¡¯s heart was filled with joy.


    Although his Wood and Water Spiritual Roots each lost 3 points again, seeing his fire spiritual root grow to 53 points, Chen Mobai decisively decided to selectively ignore these facts.


    At the very least, according to the judgment standards of the Immortal Sect, he is now a true genius of both wood and fire attributes, a True Spirit Root!


    in the Tianhe Realm, that would be considered a super prodigy second only to the Heavenly Spiritual Root and Different Spiritual Root.


    With the increase of his spiritual root, when he is free, he can go to the Divine Wood Realm and try his luck.


    In fact, his Water Spirit Root should have dropped to 18 points. However, eating the Rank-2 Azure Blood Carp offered by his eldest disciple surprisingly increased his Water Spirit Root by 1 point, despite his resistance to such spiritual objects.


    Upon discovering this, Chen Mobai made a special trip out of his seclusion to check on Liu Wenbo¡¯s cultivation status and asked about the pillar industry of their family.


    After asking, he realized that even though their family were famous for breeding Azure Blood Carp, they actually only bred twenty-six Rank-2 Azure Blood Carp.


    These Rank-2 fish seedlings could only be purchased from the Water Vein of the Five Elements Sect.


    What Liu Wenbo¡¯s family has mastered is just the feeding method of Rank-1 Azure Blood Carp, which can hatch from the eggs laid by Rank-2 female Azure Blood Carp.


    For this reason, the two female Azure Blood Carp capable of laying eggs are the lifelines of their family. Buying the fish seedlings at the time cost them thousands of Spirit Stones.


    Giving Chen Mobai one male Azure Blood Carp was an incredibly generous gesture.


    After getting it clear, Chen Mobai realized that if he wanted to freely eat Azure Blood Carp, he would have to go to the Wind and Rain Pavilion of the Water Vein from the Five Elements Sect.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Wind and Rain Pavilion is located near the central area of Cloud Dream Lake.


    That place is considered one of the most dangerous places in the Eastern Wilderness.


    After thinking about it, Chen Mobai decided to put this matter aside for now. Anyway, his remaining 19 points of Water Spiritual Root were enough for him to cultivate to the Nine Yang Body.


    After his Fire Spiritual Root increased to 53 points, Chen Mobai finally felt the speed of cultivation that a genius should have.


    In the advantageous environment of the Treasure Trove, since his Pure Yang Spiritual Power has already perfected and his realm could not be further improved, he spent the remaining time after daily meditation cultivating fire- related techniques.

 Chapter 294 - Chapter 294: Chapter 254 Fire Spirit Root 533

    Chapter 294: Chapter 254 Fire Spirit Root 533


    Within half a year, Chen Mobai has mastered all the techniques recorded in the Qi Cultivation section of the Pure Yang Scroll, including the ¡°Ignition Technique¡±, ¡°Flame Manipulation Technique¡±, and ¡°Fireball Technique¡±, as well as the ¡°Flame Lighting Technique¡±, ¡°Flame Explosion Technique¡±, ¡°Fire Stabilization Technique¡±, and ¡°Sun Raising Technique¡± from the Foundation Establishment section.


    The Pure Yang Scroll embodies the Grand Method of Divinity Transformation, which is the fundamental cultivation method of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    If one wishes to master the powerful Primordial Yang Sword Secret, which complements the Pure Yang Scroll, it is best to refer to the Pure Yang Academy.


    Of course, if you have enough points, you can also spend hundreds of millions to download and redeem it from the celestial national library.


    Another significant benefit within the Daoist Academy is the wealth of books and knowledge available in the university library, all of which are provided free to students once they have reached a certain realm.


    Although the Dance Tool Dao Academy does not have a copy of the Primordial Yang Sword Secret, it does possess the Mysterious Sun Needle Secret, Departing Fire Sword Song, and Burn Heaven Great Method, which are derived from the Pure Yang Scroll. These powerful techniques can all be practiced up to the Nascent Soul Realm.


    Even the spells within the Pure Yang Scroll itself are very useful to Chen Mobai.


    Consider the three techniques from the Qi Cultivation section ¨C at a basic level, these cultivate a cultivator¡¯s affinity for flames.


    They can ignite sparks from the void, control sparks, and shape the flames.


    However, the four spells from the Foundation Establishment section are different.


    They fully embody the mysteries of the Grand Method of Divinity Transformation.


    Among them, the ¡°Flame Lighting Technique¡± can purify oneself and eliminate impurities.


    For example, if Chen Mobai takes medicinal pills from the Tianhe Realm and there is pill poison in his Pure Yang Spiritual Power, he can quickly eliminate the poison by using the Flame Lighting Technique.


    But that¡¯s not all.


    The ¡°Flam Lighting Technique¡± not only works on spiritual power, but also can work on physical vitality and even divine sense.


    Long-term practice of this technique can make a cultivator¡¯s body as solid as steel, spiritual power as clear as glass, and spirit as brilliant as a gem.


    Moreover, this technique has no grades. After Yuan Yang Ancestor cultivated the Flame Lighting Technique to Rank-5, he discovered there were even higher realms to explore.


    The ¡°Flame Explosion Technique¡±, which follows the ¡°Flame Lighting Technique¡±, can cause flames to explode, enhancing their power based on the spiritual fire used.


    If Chen Mobai triggers the explosion of the Qingyang Fire Seed in his hand, the power can increase threefold. This technique can be combined with any type of fire and is regarded as the strongest booster technique for Fire Essence Cultivators.


    The only drawback is that the spiritual fire will extinguish and disappear after the explosion.


    It might be fine with ordinary flames, but if Chen Mobai were to detonate the precious Qingyang Fire Seed, he wouldn¡¯t be willing unless it was a matter of life and death.


    The ¡°Fire Stabilization Technique¡± is the opposite of the Flame Explosion Technique.


    This technique can stabilize burning flames, making it one of Xianmen¡¯s top fire repellent techniques.


    Meanwhile, the ¡°Sun Raising Technique¡± is the second most profound technique in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes after the Flame Lighting Technique.


    Only cultivators who have yet to break Primordial Yang can use this technique. By stimulating the innate Primordial Yang within the body and combining it with any flame, the flame level can be elevated.


    Not only does this enhance the flame¡¯s power, but during the process, you can comprehend the innate mystery of the flame returning to its source.


    The Yuan Yang Ancestor was once able to use the Sun Raising Technique to elevate a piece of common flame directly to the Innate True Fire realm of the Sun Golden Flame, capable of burning mountains, boiling seas, and destroying stars, tremendously powerful.

    Chen Mobai has tried it with the Qingyang Fire Seed.


    After employing the Sun Raising Technique, what was originally a mere flame sprout transformed into fist-sized purple-green flames.


    Once the purple color in the flames disappears and transforms into pure green, it signifies that the ¡°Pure Green Fire¡± has been fully cultivated.


    This also means that the ¡°Pure Green Technique¡± for refining the Qingyang Fire has reached Perfection.


    With this, Chen Mobai can use this spiritual fire to cultivate the ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡±.

 Chapter 295 - Chapter 295: Chapter 255: Using the Wood Spiritual Talismanl

    Chapter 295: Chapter 255: Using the Wood Spiritual Talismanl


    In the Treasure Trove.


    After practicing the skills listed in the Pure Yang Scroll for a while, Chen Mobai then began training with the techniques of immortality.


    However, compared to his rapid progress in fire attribute spells, his advancement in this cultivation technique was lackluster.


    This was due not only to his Wood Spirit Root being nearly half as strong as his Fire Spirit Root, but also his lack of dedication.


    But it wasn¡¯t entirely his fault; after all, once a cultivator reaches the perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, the technique will be integrated with and become the nourishment for the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s Core Formation process.


    By then, the power of the spells he practiced will dramatically decrease due to different spiritual power attributes.


    So there wasn¡¯t really a need for diligent practice.


    Chen Mobai just familiarized himself with the use of tree seeds and the Heavenly Wood Talisman because, after all, the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation is the trademarking technique of the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, the environment within the Treasure Trove wasn¡¯t suitable for practicing the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation.


    He usually chose another small world for this purpose.


    Taking out his phone, he selected the teleport function.


    Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    With a flash of silver light, Chen Mobai¡¯s figure emerged.


    Since Turtle Treasure anchored this miniature world, Chen Mobai only came here to practice his technique of immortality whenever he hadn¡¯t fully digested his previous gains.


    Raising his head, he saw a towering tree in front of him.


    This was the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Training wood attribute techniques in this small world, full of trees, was not as efficient as being in the Treasure Trove bolstered by the Pure Yang Scroll, but it was still decent.


    After placing a tree seed onto the Heavenly Wood Talisman, Chen Mobai infused it with the Longevity Spiritual Power within his body.


    A Red-sun Spirit Tree sprouted beside him, forming a domain, protecting him inside.


    Chen Mobai reached out and touched the tree trunk, a strand of Heavenly Wood Spirit Light was extracted, and under his Divine Sense reshaping, it transformed into swords, spears, cars, airplanes, and so on.


    This was the ¡°Heavenly Wood Spirit Light¡± from the technique of Immortality. Once practiced to the top tier, it becomes ¡°Heavenly Wood Divine Light¡±.


    If any other monk from the Divine Wood Sect had seen him freely shaping the spirit light, they would have been astounded.


    Even Mu Yuan, the top of the Sect¡¯s true disciples with extraordinary talent, could only transform the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light into six forms. But even that made the sect monks regard him as a marvel.


    Yet, in the blink of an eye, Chen Mobai had completed ten forms transformation of the Spirit Light.


    This was not because Chen Mobai¡¯s talent surpassed Mu Yuan¡¯s, but mainly because of his gains from this miniature Divine Wood world.


    After the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, he then practiced the Spirit Leaf Technique, Wood Arrow Technique, and so on.


    After completing his routine training, he sat down to cultivate in the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation for half a day. This small domain could also gather Wood Spiritual Energy to assist in cultivation, proving to be quite versatile.


    Although the Spirit Vein Level of this small world wasn¡¯t high, because it was full of Wood Spiritual Energy, the speed of cultivating Longevity Spiritual Power was faster compared to the Treasure Trove and Xiao Nanshan.


    When he finished his cultivation, feeling the 11th drop of Liquid Spiritual Power that has formed inside him, Chen Mobai opened his satisfied eyes.


    The feeling of progress was intoxicating.


    According to the 11th layer of mental state description in the technique of immortality, after condensing 35 drops of Liquid Spiritual Power, one can attempt to break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.


    However, due to the huge differences among individuals, this number was just a reference.


    It was said that Zhou Laozu, due to his substantial foundation, had to condense 50 drops of Liquid Spiritual Power for a natural break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.


    Yet, Chen Mobai thought the earlier the breakthrough, the better.


    After all, all of his Longevity Spiritual Power would eventually be absorbed and merged by the Pure Yang Spiritual Power; even a profound foundation would be useless.


    He was clear about his own cognizance.


    He wasn¡¯t going to wait for the Spiritual Power to overflow for a natural breakthrough.


    Given his average talent, he didn¡¯t cultivate quickly anyway.


    As soon as he met the breakthrough conditions, along with various kinds of breakthrough elixirs, he would first elevate his realm before anything else.


    Having clarified this plan, Chen Mobai collected the tree seeds beside him and glanced again at the towering tree not far away.


    He went over to the Magic Treasure Tree and reached out to try again.


    He injected the newly condensed drop of Liquid Spiritual Power into the tree trunk. However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no reaction.


    ¡°As expected.¡±


    Chen Mobai murmured to himself.


    In the past six months, he had experimented many times with this Magic Treasure Tree.


    As long as the spiritual power that was previously injected into it did not change, despite his improvement or degradation in his realm, he wouldn¡¯t be drawn to pick fruits from the tree crown again.


    Unless, he practiced new techniques.


    Chen Mobai had also experimented with this idea.


    After he realized this method, he specifically practiced the Blackwater Cultivation, cultivating a strand of Dark Water Spiritual Power.


    And it worked!


    He was once again teleported to the crown of the Magic Treasure Tree, where he received a black fruit.


    However, when he opened it, there was just a drop of Tree Juice.


    He tried a few more times and finally reached a conclusion.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The fruit given by the Magic Treasure Tree is primarily influenced by the injected spiritual power and supplemented by factors like the Spirit Root, to provide the cultivator with the most suitable Spiritual Object for their growth.


    For instance, when Chen Mobai cultivated the technique of immortality and his Divine Sense was strong, he was given a very valuable ¡°Bimu Spirit Heart¡±.


    The quality of his Pure Yang Spiritual Power was exceptionally high, and it practically covered all properties of fire spiritual power; thus the Magic Treasure Tree gave him a ¡°Qingyang Fire Seed¡±.


    In the history of the Divine Wood Sect, he was the first one to have received it.


    But Chen Mobai speculated, if he had injected Pure Yang Spiritual Power of the Foundation Establishment realm, the Magic Treasure Tree might have directly given him a real ¡°Qingyang Fire¡±.

 Chapter 296 - Chapter 296: Chapter 255 Using the Wood Spiritual Talisman_2

    Chapter 296: Chapter 255 Using the Wood Spiritual Talisman_2


    Rather than a spark of flame, he needed to figure out a way to elevate it on his own.


    The Blackwater spiritual power that he had cultivated overnight, although of decent quality, in the eyes of the Magic Treasure Tree, it was the weakest spiritual power that had ever been infused into it.


    Hence, it only rewarded him with a drop of ¡°Tree of Longevity Juice¡±.


    Even though this was still something good, an unsurpassed spiritual object for body forging, which could strengthen any part of the body, it was really too little.


    Chen Mobai subsequently attempted once more. It took him three days to cultivate the Black Water Cultivation Technique to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation, hoping to gain something additional from the Magic Treasure tree.


    But since the spiritual power had already been injected, there was no reaction at all.


    After reaching this conclusion, he could only regretfully abandon his grand plan of practicing Qi cultivation technique more often and harvesting all the fruits from the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Compared to this, the Talent Tree was much more sensitive.


    Any slight change in the spiritual root, and it could provide you with different things.


    In the process of cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body, Chen Mobai went to the Talent Tree every time his spiritual root changed, from three Yang bodies to four Yang bodies.


    The previous two times, he had obtained the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue, the Searching Heaven Searching Earth Method, the Fire Repelling Technique, and the Fire Snake Technique.


    Of these, the ¡°Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue¡± was used in conjunction with the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light of the unaging sutra.


    Regarding the shaping and changing of the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light inside the Divine Wood Sect, it relies on the individual Cultivator¡¯s own experience and their experience with magic duels. Although there are past experience records on this aspect in the Book Pavilion, they are basically tailored to the individual Cultivator, and the next generation can only refer to it.


    But the ¡°Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue¡± that Chen Mobai obtained was different; it was an official version from the Church of Life Extension.


    Perhaps, in ancient times, the ¡°Heavenly Wood Spirit Light¡± was supposed to be combined with the ¡°Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue¡± to cultivate and unleash its full power.


    The ¡°Searching Heaven Searching Earth Method¡± is a technique for using Divine Sense.


    In theory, under the premise of unlimited Divine Sense, every speck of dust in the sky-earth mountains and rivers of one realm can be found, making it an essential technique for hunting down enemies.


    Of course, this is assuming that the other party has no means of shielding against divine sense.


    The Fire Repelling Technique and the Fire Snake Technique, on the other hand, were much simpler. With Chen Mobai¡¯s current spiritual root and realm, just one glance was enough to learn it all.


    He wondered, what would he gain from this change in his spiritual root?


    Holding that thought, Chen Mobai rode the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± into the sky, like a fiery cloud.


    On the Talent Tree¡¯s side, he had also conducted many experiments.


    He once tried to inject the minuscule Black Water spiritual power from his body into it, but the Talent Tree didn¡¯t react at all.


    It seemed to be saying that such mediocrity is unworthy of inheriting the great techniques of the Church of Life Extension.


    After descending, Chen Mobai directly and familiarly injected his own essence, qi, and spirit into the talent tree.


    In a short while, he once again received two techniques from the Church of Life Extension.


    Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue, Fire Chain Technique.


    After reading them with his eyes closed, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    The Church of Life Extension, which was a great sect in ancient times, truly had an innumerable number of ingenious and marvelous techniques.


    This ¡°Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue¡± offers another avenue for improving the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light.


    It uses the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light to absorb the essence of various wood attribute magic artifacts, transforming them into the cultivator¡¯s magic treasure. As the cultivator¡¯s realm improves, in theory, it can be infinitely upgraded.


    This reminded Chen Mobai of a prehistoric Daoist lineage from the Immortal Sect.


    After he finished Foundation Establishment, he had the privilege to look up some prehistoric Daoist lineage information in the library of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Among them, there is a Daoist lineage called the ¡°Ruyi Sect¡±.


    Cultivators of this lineage refine a Primordial Heavenly Essence, collecting the elemental energy of heaven and earth, constitute of all the gold and stones in the world, and the essence of all living beings. They can transform it into any magic treasure, which can be regarded as the number one strange technique.


    The idea behind ¡°Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue¡± is similar to that of the Ruyi Sect.


    However, in comparison with the wide-ranged Ruyi Sect, it seems that this can only absorb the essence of wood -based magic artifacts.


    Chen Mobai took out the Divine Wood Sword, intending to try it, but in the end, he didn¡¯t.


    Because he felt that if the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light absorbed the Divine Wood sword, the resulting power might not even be as strong as the original Divine Wood sword.


    Moreover, he doesn¡¯t have many Rank-2 magic artifacts on him now. The Divine Wood Sword acts as his disguise so it should not be wasted.


    He took another look at the Fire Chain Technique. It¡¯s a spell that twists flames into rope or chain-like shapes to ensnare an enemy.


    After practicing it once, he felt that he could master it and Chen Mobai begin to tackle today¡¯s main topic.


    He pulled out the Wood Spirit Talisman from the storage bag.


    He had been wanting to test it for a long time.


    But he was always busy. Now that he had completed the Four Yang bodies, it was the perfect opportunity to explore.


    Without any hesitation, as he infused his spiritual power, the Wood Spiritual Talisman turned into a verdant light that enveloped his entire body.


    In that instant, he gained a new understanding of the Unageing Sutra. It seemed that his previous understanding was too superficial, it should be like this¡­


    Also, regarding the spells related to this technique, Chen Mobai realized that there might have been a problem with the direction of his practice. He seemed to have taken some wrong turns.


    Is this the Heavenly Wood Spirit Root!?


    This is unimaginable.

    While Chen Mobai marveled at the function of this talisman, he also remembered to take out the Spirit-Testing Instruments to check his current spiritual root attributes.


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood too, Water 19, Fire 53, Earth 10]


    According to the shopkeeper of the Wood Spirit Talisman Store, after using this Wood Spirit Talisman, it directly grants the user 80 wood spiritual root points. Since Chen Mobai originally had 28 points, it should be 108 in total when added up.


    But the maximum number that this spirit-testing instrument can display is too, so it is shown as Wood too.


    Even though he knew that the effect would only last an hour.

 Chapter 297 - Chapter 297: Chapter 255: Using the Wood Spiritual

    Chapter 297: Chapter 255: Using the Wood Spiritual


    Talisman_3


    But when he actually saw the Wood Spirit Root fully displayed on the screen, Chen Mobai could not help but feel satisfied.


    However, he had not forgotten the task at hand.


    He once again reached out and touched the Talent Tree.


    [Wood Spirit Power without Danless Poison, top grade.]


    [Single attribute Heavenly Wood Spirit Root, Immortal grade.]


    [Stable Divine Sense and vast Purple Palace, top grade.]


    [Overall Evaluation, top grade, eligible to be Holy Sons and Daughters candidate, rewarded with the complete set of the ¡®Dual-Phase Rotation Skill¡¯.]


    A ray of emerald light descended from the sky and landed on Chen Mobai¡¯s brow.


    When he saw that the reward was the Dual-Phase Skill, he almost could not help but swear.


    He had already exchanged for this thing in the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, as his realm was high, his state of mind had improved.


    He noticed that there were two extra words and thought that it might be slightly different from the Dual-Phase Skill of the Divine Wood Sect, so he carefully read it.


    After finishing reading, Chen Mobai opened his eyes with a bright look, radiating vitality.


    It was indeed different.


    This ¡®Dual-Phase Rotation Skill¡¯ had an additional volume compared to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s ¡®Dual-Phase Skill¡¯, supplementing a crucial key point.


    It was about how cultivators could cultivate both Foundation Establishment techniques to perfection even when their lifespan is limited and before their vital energy peaked.


    According to the research of the immortal sects, the chances of breaking through the great realm are the highest before half of one¡¯s lifespan has passed.


    Take Foundation Establishment for example, which has a limit of sixty.


    And correspondingly, Core Formation is the same.


    Foundation Establishment cultivators have a lifespan of four cycles of sixty years, which means it is best to form the core before one hundred and twenty years old, so that the vital energy is at its peak and the probability of breakthrough is the highest.


    However, this ultimate mysterious technique of the Dual-Phase Skill, which can increase the probability of forming the core, is only valued and practiced by true disciples in the Divine Wood Sect among the Five Elements Sect.


    Because after Foundation Establishment through the Immortality Sutra, the extra cycle of sixty years added to one¡¯s lifespan is too crucial.


    If not for this extra cycle of sixty years, basically no cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness would be able to cultivate both Foundation Establishment techniques to perfection while their vital energy is at its peak.


    Even so,


    From the Five Elements Sect to the Divine Wood Sect, there are still only a handful of people who can cultivate both techniques linked by the Dual-Phase Skill to Foundation Establishment Perfection before one hundred and eighty years old.


    The Longevity Sect, as an ancient major sect, naturally discovered this issue as well.


    It also included the solution to cultivation in the first volume of the Dual-Phase Rotation Skill.


    Or to put it another way, what is recorded in this first volume is the prerequisite for cultivating the Dual-Phase Skill.


    This was the same line of thought as Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    First of all, use all means to enhance the technique that will eventually be assimilated and used as a resource, regardless of lack of solid foundation or shallow spirit power, since it would be consumed by the other rotation technique anyway.


    And how did the Longevity Sect rapidly enhance it?


    By consuming the fruits of the Longevity Tree!


    But there¡¯s a problem. After consuming the fruit of the Longevity Tree, although you break through the realm, your lifespan is consumed by the power of this spiritual object and you are even shackled at the breakthrough realm for a long period of time.


    The solution of the Longevity Sect is straightforward.


    If lifespan is consumed, then consume elixirs that prolong life.


    If the spiritual power realm enhanced by consuming the tree fruit is shackled, then consume higher grade tree fruits to overlay it.


    This is what is recorded in the first volume of the Dual-Phase Rotation Skill.


    From Early Foundation Stage to Middle Foundation Stage, break through by consuming small Longevity Tree Fruits.


    From Middle Foundation Stage to Late Foundation Stage, consume medium Longevity Tree Fruits again.


    From Late Foundation Stage to Perfect False Golden Core Realm, consume large Longevity Tree Fruits.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Small fruits, medium fruits, large fruits.


    The progression route is clear and concise.


    Finally, when forming the core, the spiritual power at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm achieved through the shortcut of the Longevity Tree Fruit will be assimilated by the spiritual power properly cultivated through the other technique of the Dual-Phase Skill.


    When the spiritual power is no more, the shackles of the Longevity Tree Fruit on the realm naturally disappear as well.


    Chen Mobai could not help but deeply admire the Longevity Sect for coming up with this method.

 Chapter 298 - Chapter 298: Chapter 256: The Harvest of the Secret Realm by All 1

    Chapter 298: Chapter 256: The Harvest of the Secret Realm by All 1


    But admiration aside.


    Chen Mobai immediately thought of a major issue.


    Where could he possibly find three Longevity Tree Fruits, in small, medium and large sizes too?


    The Divine Wood Sect noted that Yue Zutao was recently recorded as the one who had obtained the Longevity Tree Fruit.


    However, the size of the Longevity Tree Fruit that he obtained, whether it¡¯s small, medium, or large, was unknown.


    Therefore, the Magic Treasure Tree was the only known method to definitively obtain the Longevity Tree Fruit.


    But Chen Mobai himself was no longer able to enter the Divine Tree to obtain the fruit.


    His hope now lies on his younger brothers and sisters who succeed in establishing their cultivation base once the Divine Wood Sect is in the rear to gain access to this Secret Realm.


    But then another problem arises.


    The type of fruit one could obtain from the Magic Treasure Tree was a matter of luck, and no one could guarantee that they could certainly obtain the Longevity Tree Fruit.   ¡¯


    Besides, even if one did obtain the Longevity Tree Fruit, why would they want to give it to you?


    Walking back and forth in front of the Talent Tree, Chen Mobai was pondering how to solve this problem.


    Soon, he clapped his hands, and thought of his two apprentices.


    If he fully supports their cultivation foundation, under the condition of obtaining the Longevity Tree Fruit, they could exchange it for enough Spirit Stones or Cultivation Technique.


    However, even if both of them are extremely lucky and get two Longevity Tree Fruits from the Magic Treasure Tree, it would still be one short.


    The first part of the Dual-phase Rotation Technique would require a full set of small, medium, and large Longevity Tree Fruits. After breaking through the realm by consuming the Longevity Tree Fruits, they would need to consume the complete set to achieve Foundation Establishment Perfection, which could be used as the foundation for their Core Formation.


    No, it doesn¡¯t have to be a complete set.


    He could break through to the middle stages of the Foundation Establishment and then take the medium and large fruits.


    But in that case, time would be wasted.


    Before getting this Dual-phase Rotation Technique, he could patiently cultivate Longevity Spiritual Power to breakthrough, step by step.


    However, knowing now about this shortcut makes him reluctant to slowly condense the Liquid Spiritual Power, consuming twenty years to breakthrough. There isn¡¯t a better solution right now, so he can only plan accordingly. The first priority is to help his two apprentices in Foundation Establishment. At least they must succeed in Foundation Establishment once, giving them a chance to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm¡­ eh, can he help them sneak in? Or maybe he could help core forming cultivators from the Immortal Sect sneak in to pick fruits?


    However, Chen Mobai immediately dismissed this thought as soon as it sprang He would rather slowly cultivate and ascend step by step than risk exposing the secret of Turtle Treasure.


    Isn¡¯t it just time?


    At the age of 24, with the extended lifespan from the cultivation of the Undying Technique, he still has at least 150 years to reach Core Formation.


    Next, he would think of ways to take in more disciples who are credible and trust-worthy. Then collect data on cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect, or even the Five Elements Sect who have entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm. This is to see if anyone other than Yue Zutao has obtained the Longevity Tree Fruit.


    Chen Mobai believes there should be.


    The culture in the Tianhe Realm are different from others. Many cultivators prefer to withhold their cards and not reveal their gains.


    Meanwhile, he should also start collecting some elixirs that can extend his lifespan.


    This is because one of the side effects of consuming Longevity Tree Fruit is that it consumes lifespan to breakthrough realms.


    Chen Mobai was once again calm after planning out what needed to be done. At this time, he remembered that after using the Wood Spiritual Talisman he still had one more chance to pluck from the Talent Tree.


    After injecting the Pure Yang Spiritual Power, another Secret Technique entered his mind.


    Bing Fire Divine Thunder Technique!


    A powerful attacking technique benefitting the most from becoming a talisman, with a power level that can reach Rank-3.


    Moreover, being the utmost robust and buoyant, it is the nemesis of all evil spirits and demons.


    However, with the huge surprise from the Dual-phase Rotation Technique


    Chen Mobai barely noticed this technique.


    While the power of the Wood Spiritual Talisman was still present, he was comprehending the Wood Attribute Technique while flying towards the Dao Tree.


    Last time, he managed to take ten steps with a shorter route. This time, he wanted to rely on himself to see how many steps he could take.


    The next day, at Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai, while his two disciples had yet to arrive, was pondering the refinement method of the Wood Spiritual Talisman.


    This talisman costs 5000 Good Deed Points to purchase. He planned to give one each to his two disciples when they enter the Divine Tree Secret realm, reminding them to use it in front of the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Because it¡¯s so expensive, he felt it would be more economical to draw it himself.


    Shortly after, his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo, arrived.


    This surprised Chen Mobai a little.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Zhuo Ming should be watching over the Spirit Field at the foot of the mountain and logically, she should be the first to arrive.


    ¡°Junior sister Zhuo went to deliver goods to the shop at Divine Wood City yesterday. If she received a Message Talisman there, she would be a bit late.¡± Liu Wenbo, knowing that his master¡¯s heart was only focused on the Supreme Sword Dao and not so much on these trivial matters, immediately started to explain for his junior sister.


    ¡°Oh right, I forgot I assigned her that task.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly realized, as a core elder of the sect, apart from his own territory at Xiao Nanshan, he also has a courtyard and a shop in Divine Wood City, which he had previously entrusted to Zhuo Ming to manage.


    According to his arrangements, she should be selling Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine, but how is the business going?

 Chapter 299 - Chapter 299: Chapter 256: Everyone’s Secret Realm Gains_2

    Chapter 299: Chapter 256: Everyone¡¯s Secret Realm Gains_2


    ¡°Let¡¯s not wait for him then. As your mentor, this is a rare chance that I come out of seclusion. Tell me about the obstacles you have encountered in your cultivation¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, dismissing all thoughts of his mere seven steps under the Dao Tree from the day before.


    After listening to these words, Liu Wenbo respectfully spoke about his doubts when attempting to break through to the ninth level.


    Chen Mobai carried the Formless Marionette on him, and had already gone through the process of Liu Wenbo¡¯s Foundation Establishment using an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone the night before, so he was well-prepared for any issues that might arise.


    After answering a few questions posed by Liu Wenbo, Chen Mobai took the initiative to ask about issues that were present during the cultivation but he himself had failed to notice.


    By the time Zhuo Ming arrived at Xiao Nanshan, she discovered Liu Wenbo drenched in sweat but with an enlightened look on his face, sitting in front of Chen Mobai¡¯s wooden cabin, meditating in seclusion.


    ¡°You¡¯re late, Wen Bo has had some revelations under my guidance. He should be able to break through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation when he wakes up.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming¡¯s face was instantly filled with envy.


    Over the last half year, she had only managed to cultivate up to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation. She had no idea when she would achieve Qi Cultivation Perfection.


    However, having grown up in hardship, Zhuo Ming, although envious of Liu Wenbo¡¯s progress, knew the importance of stable and solid cultivation and wasn¡¯t in a rush to break through.


    She was very clear that as long as she clung onto her current Master, she could at least secure a Foundation Building Pill in the future.


    ¡°Master, this is the account book for the South Mountain Shop. Please take a look.¡±


    Chen Mobai accepted the book offered by Zhuo Ming and skimmed through it. He noticed that the Spirit Rice was selling really well.


    In just half a year, all Spirit Rice from the thirty mu of land harvested at Small Yang Ridge the previous year, excluding the portion taken by the Spirit Plant Department, had been completely sold out.


    In total, they had earned 150 lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    Then he took a look at the sales of Spiritual Wine. Half a year had passed and only eighteen jars had been sold.


    ¡°Did I set the price too high?¡±


    After putting down the account book, Chen Mobai asked Zhuo Ming with a hint of confusion.


    He had set the price of the Jade Bud Spirit Wine at five lower-grade Spirit Stones per small jar.


    Although this price was five times higher than the general market price of one Spirit Stone, his Spiritual Wine was at least ten times better in both taste and mouthfeel.


    This certification had been given by people like Sun Gaochang and others, confirming that it was indeed overwhelmingly delicious.


    Logically, the price wasn¡¯t expensive.


    ¡°Master, most of the disciples in the Divine Wood Sect are like me. Every day, we have to painstakingly scrape together Spirit Stones for cultivation.¡±


    ¡± Even those few who are wealthy are saving Spirit Stones to buy Magic Artifacts or Cultivation Techniques. Why would they be willing to spend Spirit Stones on luxuries?¡±


    ¡°With these five Spirit Stones, wouldn¡¯t it be better to buy a pill that boosts Spiritual Power!¡±


    After spending a few years together, Zhuo Ming knew that Chen Mobai, although slow in some aspects, was easygoing and didn¡¯t put on the airs of a mentor, so she wasn¡¯t as reserved when speaking to him as she had initially been.


    ¡°I see, it seems my wine can only cater to the high-end market.¡±


    After hearing her, Chen Mobai completely understood.


    He looked at the account book again and found that most of the eighteen jars sold had gone to his good friends, mostly Foundation Establishment elders.


    Only cultivators of their standing had sufficient wealth to buy a few jars of Spiritual Wine for the sake of indulgence.


    ¡°Although drinking Master¡¯s Spiritual Wine can aid in cultivation, it clearly can¡¯t compare with real elixirs. If we can improve this aspect, our wine may become popular in the lower-class market as well.¡±


    Zhuo Ming held a different opinion and planned to create a new brand of wine that tasted good, aided in cultivation, and perhaps even helped in breaking through realms. This idea was completely different from Chen Mobai¡¯s intention to cater to the high-end market.


    What did Qi Practitioners value most? Wasn¡¯t it the advancement of their cultivation realm?


    So, elixirs had the highest demand and sold the best.


    ¡°Disciple, by that you mean¡­¡±


    ¡°Master, I was thinking if we could combine the Hundred Herb Elixir or Restoring God Soup with the Spiritual Wine to create a unique new wine that not only tastes good, but also aids in cultivation and even helps to break through realms.¡±


    Chen Mobai, of course, remembered the two formulas in the Classic of Materia Medica that Zhuo Ming had gifted him when she became his disciple.


    He had no objections to her idea.


    ¡°Do you have a plan?¡±


    ¡°A little bit. We need a trusted Alchemist to help. Otherwise, your wine brewing secret recipe might get leaked.¡±


    Zhuo Ming made a small request.


    Before Zhuo Ming became his disciple, Chen Mobai had already involved her in brewing wine.


    After she was accepted as his disciple, their relationship grew even closer. To save himself some trouble, he had directly passed on to her the yeast for brewing the wine.


    Now, there was no need for Chen Mobai to make the Jade Bud Spirit Wine with his own hands; Zhuo Ming could manage it perfectly well.


    In a few years, the flavor of the wine she brews might even surpass his.


    ¡°A trustworthy Alchemist? I don¡¯t know of any.¡±


    [There is one in the Immortal Gate.] But there was no way to bring Qing Nu over.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai shook his head under his disciple¡¯s expectant gaze.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you on good terms with Elder Yan?¡±


    Zhuo Ming reminded Chen Mobai.


    Yan Jinye was the Chief Alchemist, and a disciple of Zeng Woyou. In Tianhe Realm, she was considered an outstanding Alchemist.


    ¡°We¡¯ve only crossed paths a few times, but we can certainly get in touch. However, she¡¯s a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and probably wouldn¡¯t be able to help you.¡±


    By the end, Chen Mobai thought of this and felt it wasn¡¯t very feasible.

 Chapter 300 - Chapter 300: Chapter 256: Everyone’s Secret Realm Gains_3

    Chapter 300: Chapter 256: Everyone¡¯s Secret Realm Gains_3


    ¡°You could ask uncle Yan to introduce some reliable seniors from the alchemy division. It would lend more prestige if you, Master, were to make the request. That¡¯s certainly more effective than me running around.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded. This was simply a matter of making a small mention.


    It had been quite a while since he had met with E Yun, Yuan Chiye, and others. He could take this opportunity to invite Yan Jinye. She should be willing to provide this courtesy.


    ¡°All these matters are minor. Although I have entrusted you with managing the Spirit Field and the shop, all these should take a back seat to your own cultivation level. After all, for us cultivators, the pursuit of longevity is the most important.¡±


    The implication of these words was that Chen Mobai was not taking Zhuo Ming¡¯s proposal seriously.


    As for that shop, he was just reluctant to waste it. Hence, he kept it running selling spirit rice and spirit wine. The income of a few hundred spirit stones a year was, for him now, merely better than nothing.


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming showed a teachable demeanor, indicating that she would prioritize cultivation in the future.


    Next, Chen Mobai performed his duties as a teacher.


    Compared to Liu Wenbo, the still unformed Zhuo Ming had much more that could be molded. Furthermore, Zhuo Ming¡¯s cultivation was still low, and considering she hadn¡¯t encountered a teacher during her time as a loose cultivator, she had accumulated a great many questions.


    Usually, due to Chen Mobai¡¯s infrequent appearances, she could only select the most important questions to ask.


    Yet now, Chen Mobai, contrary to his usual behavior, indicated that he had encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation recently and planned to give them thorough guidance. They could feel free to ask anything.


    A question asked would be answered.


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming¡¯s eyes lit up. She pulled out a thick notebook from her storage bag. This was a compilation of all the questions she had accumulated since she entered the world of cultivation.


    There were questions related to cultivation, talisman making, and various miscellaneous topics about elixirs and magic artifacts.


    Every once in a while, she would flip through this notebook. If she could answer a question herself, she would cross it out.


    However, up until today, she still had this thick book filled with unresolved queries.


    Although Chen Mobai felt slightly bitter, having declared so, he couldn¡¯t very well back out.


    As a result, the teacher and student, from sunrise to sunset, from nightfall to daybreak, spent three full days and nights, going through all the questions in Zhuo Ming¡¯s notebook.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation level and the knowledge he had gained as a top student at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he was able to answer almost all of the questions.


    There were a few such as, how strong is the Gold Core Elder? How many Gold Core Realm cultivators could a Nascent Soul person fight? Can those who ascended return?


    These were questions he genuinely could not answer.


    All he could say was that his disciple, though she appeared simple and naive, had quite an imaginative mind.


    At that moment, the two spirit stones held in Liu Wenbo¡¯s hand suddenly shattered. He opened his eyes, his face beaming with delight.


    Feeling the breakthrough within his body and a stronger spiritual power, he was tempted to let out a loud roar.


    But, seeing his master and junior sister opposite him, he held back.


    ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Master.¡±


    ¡°Haha, all I hope is that you can be successful in achieving the Foundation Establishment stage in one go and make the most out of the opportunity to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm.¡±


    Chen Mobai expressed his sincere hope. His two disciples took this as a blessing.


    ¡°By the way, are senior brothers E and Yuan in the sect?¡±


    ¡°Senior brother E went to Cloud Dream Marsh to oversee an event. Senior brother Yuan just returned from a mission last month.¡±


    ¡°Arrange a meeting for me with them.¡±


    Hearing this, Liu Wenbo immediately went off to make arrangements.


    That evening, the two old friends who hadn¡¯t seen each other in a long time had a merry drink up.


    ¡°You rarely come down from the mountain. The last time we had a drink was half a year ago.¡±


    Yuan Chiye took the spirit wine brought by Chen Mobai, smelt it, and poured himself a full glass with satisfaction.


    ¡°Is the issue with the spirit stone mine in Lei Nation resolved?¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Zhou and Brother Luo, the town guard of Lei Nation, put pressure on them together. I was there to back them up in the sidelines. And we managed to suppress the six immortal cultivation families of Lei Nation and dissected 40% of the spirit stone mine for ourselves.¡±


    Yuan Chiye simply stated the result, but Chen Mobai understood the undercurrents of conflict associated with it.


    Snatching food from the tiger¡¯s mouth, and that too nearly half the cake at once, wouldn¡¯t have been an easy task even though they were representing the Divine Wood Sect.


    The allied and forced friendships, the threats and manipulations, Yuan Chiye elaborated on all this over drinks. Initially, his tone was calm, but the more he talked, the more excited he became. Especially when he talked about Zhou Wangshen¡¯s secret midnight meeting with the two biggest families, his combat with the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator of Lei Nation, and how he deterred the prowling town guard of Shake Mountain¡­


    ¡°Senior Brother Zhou is truly divine.¡±


    Although he was E Yun¡¯s man, after their cooperation in Lei Nation, Yuan Chiye had nothing but praise for Zhou Wangshen.


    He stated that if Zhou were to become the sect leader, the Divine Wood Sect might reunite with the Five Elements Sect and unify the Eastern Wilderness within his lifetime.


    Chen Mobai just listened quietly. When Yuan Chiye finished speaking, he subtly shifted the topic.


    ¡°Has senior sister Yan been in the sect lately? My little disciple wants to experiment with making two types of medicinal drinks and needs a trustworthy alchemist to assist. Yan, as the former chief of the alchemy division, should have someone in mind, right?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Having promised, Chen Mobai naturally brought up the matter.


    ¡°As for Senior Sister Yan, she hasn¡¯t returned since her last visit to that Foundation Establishment cave dwelling. She might be trapped by the dwelling¡¯s array prohibitions. We can go to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion later and check if the alchemy division has issued any rescue missions.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    Indeed, he had made the right choice by staying put and not following them to treasure hunt.


    After all, in the Tianhe Realm, previous cave dwellings were usually filled with traps. Some loose cultivators specialized in setting up these traps.

 Chapter 301 - Chapter 301: Chapter 256: Everyone’s Secret Realm

    Chapter 301: Chapter 256: Everyone¡¯s Secret Realm


    Gains_4


    ¡°What a pity, I hope Junior Sister Yan is safe and sound.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai put Yan Jinye out of his mind.


    He felt this person was a bit unlucky, so it would be wise to avoid her if she returned to the sect in the future.


    As for Zhuo Ming¡¯s medicinal liquor, she could take her time to research on it herself.


    ¡°By the way, Senior Brother Yuan, I don¡¯t know what you got from the Divine Tree Secret Realm? I was pretty lucky, I got the seed of the Green-sun Fire.¡±


    Chen Mobai started to talk about the real reason why he had invited Yuan Chiye for a drink today.


    He laid his cards on the table first and talked about the yield he had from the fruit.


    ¡°Since it¡¯s you asking, I won¡¯t hide it.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a gourd of longevity tree juice, which doesn¡¯t have much use to me, so I sold it to Senior Brother Zhou when I was in Lei Nation.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t disclose the price to you, but it not only cleared all my debts but also provided enough to buy all the alchemy needed for my cultivation until the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Yuan Chiye trusted Chen Mobai a lot, and he openly shared his chance encounter on the Magic Treasure Tree in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°Oh, congratulations on that. Do you know what the other senior brothers and sisters got in the Secret Realm?¡±


    Chen Mobai tried to probe the information, he didn¡¯t expect much initially, but Yuan Chiye surprisingly gave him some interesting news.


    ¡°I will tell you, but you must not disclose this to others.¡±


    Yuan Chiye hesitated for a while, but under a full glass of Spiritual Wine poured by Chen Mobai, he revealed what he knew.


    ¡°Senior Brother Zhou Wangshen traded with Wu and Yan in order to cultivate the Taoist Body of Longevity. The latter two managed to establish their foundations, and Zhou also played a part in their success.¡±


    ¡°Before they entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm, they made an oath that if they found the juice of the longevity tree, they must sell it to Senior Brother Zhou.¡±


    ¡°So, Senior Brother Zhou was aware of their gains in the Secret Realm, and he revealed it to me when he made a deal for the longevity tree juice.¡±


    ¡°Just like me, Senior Brother Wu also obtained a gourd of longevity tree juice and sold it directly to Senior Brother Zhou.¡±


    ¡°But Yan Jinye¡¯s luck was very bad, she surprisingly found a longevity tree fruit.¡±


    Speaking of this, Yuan Chiye was filled with regret.


    Everyone in the Divine Wood Sect knows the huge drawback of the longevity tree fruit.


    These disciples who had successfully reached the foundation establishment phase also saw themselves having a slim chance of reaching Core Formation, naturally, they would not take the fruit, which would limit their lifespan and future prospects.


    Therefore, no one in the Divine Wood Sect wanted to buy the longevity tree fruit Yan Jinye got, and she herself was reluctant to use it.


    If it was put on sale outside, there might be some ignorant people who would snatch it.


    But those people didn¡¯t have much family wealth.


    If it were to be auctioned in a big syndicate, all the positive and negative effects of the longevity tree fruit would have to be written clearly, and an oath would have to be taken that there was no deception.


    After all these, it¡¯s sure that the selling price would not be good.


    It was precisely for this reason that Yuan Chiye, who earned 100,000 Spirit Stones from Zhou Wangshen, felt very sorry for Yan Jinye¡¯s results in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°That is truly¡­ bad luck¡­¡±


    After listening to the story, Chen Mobai had to grit his teeth to utter the last four words.


    His expression was a bit weird, but Yuan Chiye just thought that he had drunk too much and was a bit dizzy.


    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s have another drink. In a few days, I¡¯m going into closed cultivation. I probably won¡¯t come out until the end of the year, so let¡¯s drink to our heart¡¯s content today.¡±


    Yuan Chiye had bought enough elixirs for his use for a year, it was a coincidence that Chen Mobai came looking for him today, if it were a couple of days late, they might not have met each other.


    When Chen Mobai left after drinking, he asked for the location of the Alchemy Department.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Why do you ask?¡±


    ¡°Sigh, after I came out of the Secret Realm and fell into a coma, Junior Sister Yan took care of me for some time. Now, she has not been back for half a year, and I am really worried about her. So, I thought about asking her master, Elder Zeng, to see if I could help her.¡±


    Hearing this, Yuan Chiye felt puzzled.


    I didn¡¯t see any changes in your expression when I talked about it before.


    Why suddenly so concerned after drinking?

 Chapter 302 - Chapter 302: Chapter 257 Lonely Spirit Ridge l

    Chapter 302: Chapter 257 Lonely Spirit Ridge l


    After bidding farewell to Yuan Chiye, Chen Mobai first went to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    As an elder of Foundation Establishment, he naturally did not need to verify his cultivation realm like those Qi Cultivation disciples who needed to do so when accepting tasks in the hall.


    ¡°The task concerning Sister Yan from the Alchemy Department? That¡¯s unfortunate, it was just accepted by an elder.¡±


    The Qi Cultivation disciple specially assigned to serve Chen Mobai checked the request, and alerted him with a surprising result.


    So there actually was a task already active, and someone else was paying attention?


    ¡°Oh, which brother is this?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not at liberty to disclose that. If you really want to know, Uncle, you can ask the Pavilion Master.¡±


    The Qi Cultivation disciple in front of him apologized. Due to a number of incidents of scheming among fellow disciples, the Spirit Treasure Pavilion has strict controls in place regarding information of this nature.


    If Chen Mobai wanted to know, he could explain the situation to the person in charge of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, who would then report it up for approval.


    Such a troublesome matter, Chen Mobai naturally wouldn¡¯t entertain.


    After leaving Spirit Treasure Pavilion, he returned to his courtyard in Divine Wood City.


    Liu Wenbo had originally followed him, but considering he had just broken through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and needed to consolidate his realm, Chen Mobai brought Zhuo Ming instead.


    The little disciple was not resting, but was drawing talismans in the moonlight.


    After giving her a few pointers, Chen Mobai told her about Yan Jinye¡¯s situation, assuring her that he would find a way to help.


    If it had been before, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have been bothered with Yan Jinye¡¯s safety, yet after learning from Yuan Chiye about the Sacred Tree Fruit she possessed, Chen Mobai felt the need to figure out a way to rescue her.


    Although the task was already accepted, it can be confirmed that the task was published by the Head of the Alchemy Department.


    Chen Mobai, having acquainted with Zeng Woyou, left the latter with a deep impression on him as an unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius.


    The next day he submitted a formal visit request.


    Chen Mobai easily met the top Alchemy Master of Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Speaking of little Yan, she left her Life Plaque with me, so she¡¯s not in danger yet. However, I¡¯ve been quite worried because she hasn¡¯t returned for quite a while, so I posted a task.¡±


    Zeng Woyou trusted Chen Mobai. After all, as the unprecedented genius who took ten steps in front of the Dao Tree in the history of the Divine Wood Sect, this junior brother has the potential to form a Core Formation.


    Hence, even though he, a Rank-3 Alchemist, was a top figure within the Divine Wood Sect, he was incredibly courteous towards Chen Mobai, a junior who had just started his Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Sigh, I missed Sister Yan¡¯s invitation due to my closed-door Sword Dao cultivation, and now I greatly regret it. If I had accompanied her at that time, perhaps with my strength added, this wouldn¡¯t have happened.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were filled with regret and remorse.


    Upon hearing this, Zeng Woyou was inwardly puzzled. Had the relationship between his disciple and this junior brother really been that good?


    ¡°Brother Bi Yiyuan and Brother Shan Hongyi have taken up the task issued by the Alchemy Department. If you, Brother Chen, also wish to help, I will not refuse.¡±


    Zeng Woyou told Chen Mobai about those who accepted the task, and it turned out to be two people.


    He didn¡¯t know Bi Yiyuan, but he had met Shan Hongyi once. Back then, he even took his Floating Airship to Giant Tree Ridge from South Creek Market in the Cloud Country.


    ¡°What are the cultivation levels of these two brothers?¡±


    Chen Mobai directly asked the most crucial question.


    ¡°Brother Bi Yiyuan is at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage. However, he¡¯s a Body Refining Cultivator, and his strength is enough to fight against someone in the mid Foundation Establishment stage. Brother Shan Hongyi is a genuine mid Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. Had he not wanted me to refine a furnace of pills for him, he wouldn¡¯t have been persuaded to leave his seclusion.¡±


    In other words, it¡¯s equivalent to two mid Foundation Establishment stage cultivators going to rescue her.


    It must be said, Zeng Woyou, being the top Alchemy Master of the Divine Wood Sect, was quite influential.


    ¡°Brother Chen, although your cultivation level is not as high as theirs, the fighting power of a Sword Cultivator at the fourth realm surpasses them. If you¡¯re willing to help, I¡¯ll reward you with a hundred-year-old Swordgrass from my medicinal field.¡±


    Swordgrass? What is that?


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, it might be a very helpful item for a Sword Cultivator, but he did not really want it.


    After all, he had no doubts about his Sword Cultivation realm. As soon as his Qingyang Fire Seed was refined to perfection, he could start forming his ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡±.


    If he didn¡¯t want the Swordgrass, could he choose other spiritual medicines or spirit grasses as a reward?


    At the moment, Chen Mobai needed a specific kind of spiritual medicine fruit.


    ¡°Bamboo Fruit?¡±


    Zeng Woyou was slightly surprised at the request of Chen Mobai.


    This rarely used alchemical medicinal plant is usually the main ingredient for detoxification pills, or is directly consumed to enhance the Divine Sense.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But if one wanted to detoxify and enhance the Divine Sense, there were better substitute spiritual medicines.


    In addition, there were very few people who grew century-old Jade Bamboo just to see the Bamboo Fruit.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have any in my medicinal field, but there are plenty of sufficiently aged Jade Bamboo plants in the sect¡¯s Green Bamboo Mountain. If the special secret technique were used to speed up its maturity, it could grow Bamboo Fruits.¡±


    As an Alchemy Master, Zeng Woyou was quite familiar with what kind of spiritual medicine and grass were grown in which medicinal field in Giant Tree Ridge.


    He was also an expert in spiritual plants, and knew the methods to stimulate the birth of Bamboo Fruits.

 Chapter 303 - Chapter 303: Chapter 257: Lonely Spirit Ridge_2

    Chapter 303: Chapter 257: Lonely Spirit Ridge_2


    ¡°Is it possible?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai asked.


    Half a year had passed, and due to his diligent cultivation of Void Spirit Eye, only less than half a bottle was left of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, and it was about to be used up.


    This spiritual liquid could also be used to enhance Divine Sense. During this period, another green paulownia seedling in his sea of knowledge had sprouted two green buds, making rapid progress.


    For Chen Mobai, Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew was undoubtedly the most suitable spiritual medicine for him at this stage.


    Therefore, he still hoped to be able to continuously consume the medicine. Unfortunately his request for bamboo fruits on the Spirit Treasure Pavilion had been hanging for half a year, and there were still no takers.


    He casually mentioned it today and didn¡¯t expect there to be a harvest.


    ¡°No problem, I will arrange for Green Bamboo Mountain. The price of a bamboo fruit is usually 350 Spirit Stones. I probably paid about 1000 Spirit Stones as compensation for the other two disciples. I can count that as three bamboo fruits, how does that sound?¡±


    Upon hearing Zeng Woyou¡¯s words, Chen Mobai nodded.


    So it was settled.


    Lonely Spirit Ridge!


    A very ordinary mountain in the eastern part of the Rain Country.


    If it wasn¡¯t for confirming that Yan Jinye¡¯s Life Plaque pointed here, the three of Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t dare to believe that there was a Foundation Establishment cultivator¡¯s cave dwelling hidden here.


    ¡°Master, the Qi Pointer Disk is starting to spin chaotically.¡±


    High above Lonely Spirit Ridge, a black-robed youth held a bronze plate on a floating airship. The bronze spoon on it started to spin wildly as if the target was rapidly moving in all directions.


    ¡°Hmm, it seems that there should be natural geographical patterns here. Coupled with the exoteric array plate, all the spirit energy of the land veins has been sealed off, turning this place into a terrifying forbidden area.¡± The middle-aged man who spoke was Shan Hongyi, whom Chen Mobai had previously met.


    The black-robed youth next to him was Yu Lian, who had joined the Divine Wood Sect along with Chen Mobai.


    It was heard that after he left Bud Hall, he had become a disciple of Shan Hongyi and seemed to have been cultivating diligently. He was not seen in the grand sect competition a few years ago.


    Today, he has reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, and it doesn¡¯t seem like he just broke through. It is likely that in one or two years, he would be able to achieve Qi Cultivation Perfection.


    ¡°So, do we go in directly?¡±


    Bi Yiyuan, another cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm, asked.


    His face was rough, bald, and without eyebrows. The entire person stood there like a source of heat with his vitality running high.


    ¡°Junior sister Yan left the mountain gate with Sister Mei from the Spirit Vein Department. If this Foundation Establishment cave dwelling could trap the two of them, we¡¯d better be a little more careful.¡±


    As Shan Hongyi spoke, he took out a Message Talisman, injected spiritual power into it, and shot it towards Lonely Spirit Ridge below.


    Chen Mobai took a look and found out it¡¯s a Message Talisman.


    Upon a brief thought, he couldn¡¯t help but admire Shan Hongyi¡¯s seasoned experience.


    This Message Talisman can track the nameplate of a divine wood sect disciple within a certain range.


    If Yan Jmye is really trapped under this Lonely Spirit Ridge, this would be the most convenient and fastest way to get in contact with her.


    Sure enough, the Message Talisman was unaffected by the surrounding geomagnetic spiritual energy and the array, it flew directly towards Yan Jinye¡¯s Divine Wood Sect nameplate, and disappeared into a hidden cave on the southern side of Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    ¡°What¡¯s next? Do we just barge in?¡±


    Bi Yiyuan asked, a little reckless in his words.


    However, Chen Mobai felt that a person who could cultivate to such a realm wouldn¡¯t be so foolhardy. This was probably just a ruse.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, what do you think?¡±


    Bi Yiyuan suddenly asked Chen Mobai.


    All three of them had introduced themselves under the introduction of Zeng Woyou.   5


    After getting on the floating airship, Chen Mobai kept quiet as much as he could, indicating that he¡¯d follow the two senior brothers¡¯ decisions.


    ¡°Whatever Senior Brother Shan decides.¡±


    Chen Mobai clearly knew himself. Although he had decent fighting abilities, he was still lacking in experience in places like the Tianhe Realm, where danger lurked everywhere. It was better to follow Shan Hongyi¡¯s instructions.


    Let¡¯s wait for Junior Sister¡¯s response.¡±


    After the two finished speaking, Shan Hongyi finally spoke.


    The Message Talisman can reply once, and if it could indeed be delivered to Yan Jinye¡¯s hands, then it was necessary to ask what exactly was going on in her cave dwelling.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    The three of them reached a consensus.


    Yu Lian, you go around and ask if there are any legends or strange stories about the Lonely Spirit Ridge.¡±


    Shan Hongyi instructed his disciple to gather information, and Yu Lian immediately nodded in agreement.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with him, it¡¯ll be faster.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly spoke up, causing everyone present to be slightly taken aback.


    But considering that Yu Lian had not yet reached Foundation Establishment and could not fly, it would be more convenient if Chen Mobai were with him. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you, junior brother Chen.¡±


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    Chen Mobai, with a smile, activated his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±. A wisp of pale red cloud appeared in mid-air, and he stepped on it first.


    Yu Lian hesitated for a moment, then carefully followed him onto the cloud.


    Junior brother, this magic artifact of yours is quite intriguing.¡±


    Shan Hongyi and Bi Yiyuan had never seen a cloud artifact like the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, which could gather and disperse at will. They couldn¡¯t help but admire it.


    Chen Mobai just chuckled lightly, not saying anything.¡±


    He then flew with Yu Lian towards the nearby areas rich in spiritual energy. ¡°Senior Uncle Chen¡­ do you have something to say to me?¡±


    While standing on the cloud of mist, Yu Lian looked at Chen Mobai and spoke hesitantly.


    ¡°After all, we both come from the same place, and bear a hometown friendship. Plus, there¡¯s not much common ground between me and my two senior brothers on the Floating Airship, so I¡¯d rather go out with you.¡±


    ¡°Senior Uncle Chen, you¡¯ve managed to suppress three thousand Qi Cultivation disciples in the sect with a single sword, and achieved Foundation Establishment just four years after joining. You¡¯re like the sun and the moon in the sky. I didn¡¯t expect that you¡¯d remember a mere hometown fellow like me.¡± What Yu Lian meant to say was that he was surprised and flattered, but his face showed no expression and his tone was calm, leaving Chen Mobai at a loss for words.


    Initially, our group was assigned to Senior Brother E Yun by the sect. However, I went to the farm to avoid trouble after leaving Bud Hall. It¡¯s good that you became a disciple of Senior Brother Shan. The Luo siblings in the sect have the backing of their clan¡¯s Foundation Establishment Cultivators.¡± Upon hearing this, Yu Lian furrowed his eyebrows, unclear about what Chen Mobai was trying to say.


    ¡°If I hadn¡¯t established my foundation first, I would probably have to risk my life for the sect at Yun Meng Ze, even while farming. You¡¯ve reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, why didn¡¯t you participate in the sect competition?¡± ¡°To make a name for myself.¡±


    Yu Lian said something that slightly surprised Chen Mobai, then he laughed.


    ¡°With your abilities, it could be possible.¡±


    ¡°I could do that initially, but with you in the picture now, no matter how much I stand out, I can¡¯t reach your level.¡±


    Yu Lian sighed.


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai was at a loss for words.


    Indeed, he had set a benchmark in the sect¡¯s true education that was virtually unattainable, and certainly unsurpassable for others.


    ¡°There¡¯s a Cultivator over there.¡±


    The bronze plate in Yu Lian¡¯s hand suddenly pointed in a certain direction.


    Chen Mobai promptly flew towards it with him.


    ¡°In the future, if you can enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm and obtained something good that you don¡¯t need, you could sell it to me.¡±


    The two of them asked several nearby Cultivators about the Lonely Spirit Ridge


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    and on the way back, Chen Mobai subtly dropped a hint.


    Upon hearing this, Yu Lian looked surprised.


    ¡°Do you think I can succeed in Foundation Establishment on the first try?¡± ¡°Among those who have joined the Divine Wood Sect with us, your talent is widely acknowledged to be the best. If I can do it, you certainly can too.¡± Chen Mobai said something that caused a change in Yu Lian¡¯s expression. ¡°Here¡¯s the reply from Yan Jinye, Junior brother Chen, you should take a look at it.¡±


    After the two of them returned to the Floating Airship, Shan Hongyi handed a piece of paper to Chen Mobai.


    [The owner of the cave dwelling has turned himself into a Silver Armored Corpse. Sister Mei and I cannot leave its side in order to suppress it. Please, brothers, bring some extremely yang and extremely hard artifacts or talismans when you come in.]

 Chapter 304 - Chapter 304: Chapter 258: Feiming Taoist 1

    Chapter 304: Chapter 258: Feiming Taoist 1


    ¡°Have you made any findings?¡±


    As Chen Mobai was looking at Yan Jinye¡¯s reply, Shan Hongyi also asked his disciple.


    Master, Chen Uncle Master and I asked some cultivators nearby. They claimed that the Lonely Spirit Ridge was, a hundred years ago, the Cave Dwelling of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator named ¡®Fei Ming Daoist¡¯.¡±


    ¡®He was adept at formations and techniques of corpse manipulation. Before his mysterious disappearance, he had a cultivation level of mid-Foundation Establishment and even had a record of battling late-Foundation Establishment and retreated intact. He was indeed a rather notorious figure among Loose Cultivators.¡±


    Though this area has Rank-2 Spirit Vein, it was once an ancient battlefield tomb, and the corpse¡¯s Qi polluted the Earth Vein. Therefore, after the disappearance of Fei Ming Daoist, not many Cultivators were willing to explore.¡±


    After Yu Lian finished reporting the information he¡¯d gathered, Shan Hongyi nodded and turned to Chen Mobai and Bi Yiyuan.


    ¡°Any suggestions, junior brothers?¡±


    ¡°We will follow your lead, elder brother.¡±


    Chen Mobai repeated his usual statement, and Bi Yiyuan nodded in agreement. ¡°Hmm, if Fei Ming Daoist was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in his lifetime, becoming a zombie after death, even after a century, he might have restored only to the Foundation Building Realm. The three of us working together should be more than enough to suppress him.¡±


    The implication of Shan Hongyi¡¯s words was that their next step would be to break in.


    Right. There are also our two Junior Sisters inside. The five of us in the Foundation Establishment stage should be able to handle it, unless this Fei Ming Daoist has evolved into a golden zombie. Otherwise, he will forge my


    Bi Yiyuan was also very confident.


    Among the three, only Chen Mobai smiled without comment.


    ¡°You stay outside. If there are any unexpected situations, such as our inactivity for a long time, report straight back to the sect about this situation.¡±


    Before going in, Shan Hongyi asked Yu Lian to stay behind, to which the latter naturally agreed.


    After all, he had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment. If he is impacted by the residual energy from the clashes between Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he might be harmed.


    ¡°I¡¯ll lead the way.¡±


    Bi Yiyuan decisively took the lead and plunged into the cave. Chen Mobai followed in second.


    Here m the Tianhe Realm, they used Luminous Pearls for illumination, which although considered a top treasure for mortals, is just a regular spiritual object for cultivators.


    As soon as Chen Mobai entered the cave, he felt a chilling aura.


    With a slight frown, Chen Mobai unfolded his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± from his wrist, transforming it into a faint mist that enveloped the three of them.


    Seeing this, both Bi Yiyuan and Shan Hongyi were slightly taken aback.


    ¡°Junior Brother, since none of us are completely familiar with each other¡¯s Divine Skills or Magic Artifacts, it will be best if you look after yourself first.¡± Only then did Chen Mobai realize that this was the custom among the Tianhe Sect.


    He could not help but feel internally moved: even among fellow disciples, there was a distinct lack of trust.


    Of course, he was more than willing to oblige, and so withdrew the Red Misty Cloud Silk to his side.


    A copper sheen spread across Bi Yiyuan¡¯s skin and a faint warmth radiated from his body. The chill in the air around them dissipated as Bi Yiyuan passed by, leaving the trailing Chen Mobai and Shan Hongyi feeling much more comfortable.


    The three quickly reached a fork in the road.


    Under normal circumstances, they might have split up here.


    But Shan Hongyi once again launched a Message Talisman.


    Follow this talisman, and it will lead us to Junior Sister Yan.¡±


    Without waiting for his response, Bi Yiyuan already dashed into the cave entrance on the left. Chen Mobai¡¯s brow briefly furrowed as he started smelling a faint, foul odor.


    Could they be getting close to the Silver Armored Corpse¡¯s lair?


    ¡°Outrageous beast!¡±


    As he followed into the cave, he suddenly heard Bi Yiyuan yell, followed by a flash of copper light. A rotten, helmeted skull flew past them.


    Red light flashed, and with a thought from Chen Mobai, the Red Misty Cloud


    Silk around him transformed into a cover that swatted away the undead skull knocked flying by Bi Yiyuan.


    It seems that this place is a natural breeding ground for zombies.¡±


    Shan Hongyi¡¯s voice echoed from behind him. At the same time, a streak of fire flared up, transforming into a crimson flame serpent that reduced three resurrecting zombies from the cave¡¯s walls to ashes.


    ¡°Did Junior Sister Yan really pass through here?¡±


    Using his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai scanned the surroundings of the cave and found no recent signs of battle.


    ¡°We have to be careful from now on. This Fei Ming Daoist was skilled at formations in his lifetime, so he may have rerouted his lair¡¯s passages. The Message Talisman only flies in the shortest path towards Junior Sister Yan. This rigid weakness can easily be exploited.¡±


    As Shan Hongyi spoke, Chen Mobai also launched another couple of ¡°Red Flame Triple Sword Talisman¡±. The crossfire of six Sword Qi, together with the glistening purple Sword Glow, swept clean the zombies rising back to life from both sides of the cave.


    ¡°What should we do next? Advance or retreat?¡±


    Meanwhile, at their front, Bi Yiyuan was not to be outdone, having somehow produced a Fine Iron Wolf-teeth Mace from his storage bag. As he swung it around, several zombies were smashed into fragments.


    ¡°Charge! With our powers, we can easily take down this cave dwelling!¡±


    Upon seeing the Message Talisman¡¯s faint glow about to disappear before them, Shan Hongyi made a swift decision.

    ¡°Good, you two, keep up!¡±


    Upon hearing the words, Bi Yiyuan struck out with his Wolf Fang Club, sending six zombies in their path flying. Copper light bristled around him as he charged forward like an unstoppable copper figure.


    Chen Mobai and Shan Hongyi activated talismans simultaneously. After quickly mopping up the area with their fire serpent and Sword Qi, they hurriedly closed the gap.


    Bam Bam Bam!


    They advanced and fought their way through.

 Chapter 305 - Chapter 305: Chapter 258 Flying Ming Taoist _2

    Chapter 305: Chapter 258 Flying Ming Taoist _2


    The piercing sound of fractures permeated the air as flames and Sword Qi intertwined¡ªmixing the stench of corpses, the aroma of charred flesh, and the sickly smell of mud. The smell overwhelmed the three of them, forcing them to breath internally.


    Having slain an indefinable number and traversing a distance of roughly a hundred meters, at last, the zombies did not appear anymore.


    Chen Mobai exhaled slightly. Although the job was done just using talismans, implying minimal Spiritual Power loss, the sheer number was undeniably excessive.


    He estimated that he had aided the passing of at least fifty to sixty of them.


    ¡°These are Iron Corpses, the lowest in rank among zombies. They are created by burying strong malefactors in corpse raising grounds. A Qi Cultivation cultivator at level seven can effortlessly dispose of them.¡±


    Just as Shan Hongyi began to speak, and Chen Mobai pondered why he was explaining this to him, a monotonous rumbling sound echoed.


    With a sudden thud!


    The Wolf Fang Club that Bi Yiyuan had tossed out rebounded back, hitting the top of the cave, making the entire mountain seem to vibrate slightly.


    Chen Mobai discharged the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± blocking the falling dust and rocks.


    ¡°Huh, this Bronze Armored Corpse has been well cultivated. It has a powerful force.¡±


    The voice of Bi Yiyuan rang out. Afterward, two crimson eyes lit up in the dust, followed by an explosion of golden light. Accompanied by a cacophony of collision sounds as if copper and iron were fiercely colliding, the noise attacked Chen Mobai¡¯s eardrum.


    A sudden slashing noise!


    Accompanied by the sound of a mass of meat and bone being torn apart, Chen Mobai used his Void Spirit Eye. Through the dust, he saw Bi Yiyuan tearing a Bronze Armored Corpse in half.


    ¡°Generally speaking, a Bronze Armored Corpse is equivalent to the end of Qi Cultivation phase, coupled with an unyielding body and immense strength, immune to ordinary spells, it¡¯s not guaranteed that even the Qi Cultivation peak disciples of sects can overpower it.¡±


    The voice of Shan Hongyi echoed, as Chen Mobai nodded lightly.


    Given that the Bronze Armored Corpse could engage several moves with the Foundation Establishment cultivating Bi Yiyuan before getting torn apart, it was indeed a formidable foe.


    And just at that moment, two more blazing crimson eyes lit up in the dust.


    There was another Bronze Armored Corpse!


    On Chen Mobai¡¯s right side, sensing his weakest aura, the Bronze Armored Corpse rushed forward, with hands like claws, charging at him.


    Gently patting the storage pouch at his waist, a blue Flying Sword sprang out like a fish, effortlessly severing the grotesque creature¡¯s neck.


    In almost an instant, the Bronze Armored Corpse charging towards Chen Mobai had its head separated from its body.


    Its body continued forward through inertia onto the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± colliding with the hot Fire Jade Crystal fragments, causing sparks to explode, and then ignited, which gave off an intense stench of the corpse.


    On the other side, Shan Hongyi released a Clear Wind Talisman, converging the dust within the cave into a clump, clearing the obstruction in their field of vision.


    Seeing the reality, his heart sank.


    Before they could figure out when it happened, ten Bronze Armored Corpses had already surrounded them. Their eyes ¡ª ablaze with crimson light ¡ª were filled with a longing for flesh and blood, looking coldly at the trio.


    ¡°Both of you should go all out now; junior sister Yan might be in danger.¡±


    Upon seeing this, the casual demeanor of Shan Hongyi hardened slightly. From his storage bag, he retrieved a red Flying Sword.


    If the Daoist Mystic had twelve Bronze Armored Corpses, then he would definitely have had Silver Armored Corpses when he was alive.


    Considering his transformation into a Silver Armored Corpse, even with the combined strength of Yan Jinye and Mei Jingjun being at the Early Foundation Establishment stage, it would have been impossible for them to survive half a year in this place.


    A series of rumbling echoes!


    When the three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect moved to attack at the same time, even the ten Bronze Armored Corpses that had formed a defensive formation and been empowered by the Earth Evil Yin Qi were eventually completely destroyed after the three cultivators brought out their Magic Artifacts.


    Bi Yiyuan, who had regrasped his Wolf Fang Club, smashed three Bronze Armored Corpses chunks. Chen Mobai and Shan Hongyi, employing their two Flying Swords to execute the Red Flame Sword Jue, overwhelmed the remaining zombies with their fiery Sword Qi Long Rainbow.


    After the pouring of Sword Rainbow, only gray-black traces were left on the cave wall.


    Once the trio revealed their full prowess, there was no longer anything that could obstruct them. Guided by the most recently activated Message Talisman, busting through three cave walls, slaying minimal hundreds of Iron Corpses, finally, they stormed into a cavernous hollow about four to five hundred meters deep underground.


    ¡°Senior brothers, over here!¡±


    As soon as the three landed, they heard a voice filled with surprise.


    Upon looking, they realized that at the center of this enormous hollow was an astonishing, translucent pool.


    In the center of the pool was a white jade sacrificial altar with a Black Wood Coffin placed on it.


    Normally, a coffin would be nailed shut, yet this one seemed to have been opened by someone. The lid was partially lifted, revealing a figure, clad in a brilliant silver robe with his eyes shut tight¡ª a corpse.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    An artefact resembling a talisman, marked with cinnabar and made of yellow paper, was resting on the corpse¡¯s forehead. It was presumably a Corpse Suppression Curse. Beside the head of the corpse, there was a multicolored lotus lamp. Unfortunately, the wick seemed to have burned out, leaving no visible flame.


    ¡°This is the corpse of Daoist Mystic. He trained himself to become a zombie. Thankfully, Mrs Guo has a Rank-2 Golden Axe. Otherwise, we would probably be in quite some danger.¡±


    At the side of the coffin on the altar, three Foundation Establishment female cultivators were seated. The voice was coming from Yan Jinye.


    She, along with another female cultivator, stretched out their hands and poured their Spiritual Power into the talisman situated on the Silver Armored Corpse¡¯s forehead, suppressing the corpse¡¯s awakening.


    A veiled, amply endowed beauty among them manipulated an artifact, interrupting the Yin-Evil Qi flowing to their location.

 Chapter 306 - Chapter 306: Chapter 258: Daoist Feiming_3

    Chapter 306: Chapter 258: Daoist Feiming_3


    Only after Chen Mobai and his comrades landed did they see a jade axe embedded in the chest of the Silver Armored Corpse. However, there was no sign of fresh blood from the wound, only shining white bones and torn flesh.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, take care of this Silver Armored Corpse. Leave the rest to Brother Bi and me,¡± Shan Hongyi said, organizing the tasks, to which Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.


    ¡°The rest? Are there more Silver Armored Corpses?¡±


    Those who had cultivated to the Foundation Building Realm weren¡¯t ordinary. Just from a single phrase, the wife inferred their suspicion.


    ¡°Yes, in this Cave Dwelling, besides Daoist Feiming himself, there should be another Silver Armored Corpse, which he cultivated during his lifetime.¡±


    As he was speaking, a sneer came from within the coffin.


    The faces of Chen Mobai and his comrades changed as they simultaneously attacked Daoist Feiming.


    However, the Lotus Lamp turned into a light barrier, blocking all their attacks.


    ¡°I never expected that my humble Netherworld Mansion would be graced by the presence of five Foundation Builders.¡±


    Once again, a voice echoed from above. Silver-grey rays of light descended from the sky, condensing into zombies that surrounded a towering commander wearing a helmet and brandishing a broadsword.


    Undoubtedly, this was a Silver Armored Corpse.


    Only a Silver Armored Corpse could retain the rationality akin to a normal person.


    ¡°Who are you? Do you honestly believe that you can defeat the six of us?¡±


    Shan Hongyi stroked his beard, attempting to dig out more information, all while pulling out a compass-like magic artifact from his storage bag.


    ¡°Me? You came to my Cave Dwelling and you don¡¯t know who I am?¡±


    The Silver Armored Corpse, wielding a war sword, spoke, causing everyone to frown.


    ¡°You¡¯re Daoist Feiming? That¡¯s impossible!¡±


    ¡°Hehehe, nothing is impossible. You know nothing about the Yellow Springs Dharma.¡±


    The Silver Armored Corpse trapped in the Black Wood Coffin spoke. Despite its inability to move, it managed to laugh, sending chills down everyone¡¯s spine.


    ¡°Damn, let go now!¡±


    Just then, Shan Hongyi noticed something and shouted at Yan Jinye and Mei Jingjun, who were channeling spiritual power into the Corpse Suppression Talisman on the Silver Armored Corpse¡¯s forehead.


    But it was too late, the Corpse Suppression Talisman burst into flames and turned into ashes in an instant.


    The Silver Armored Corpse within the coffin laughed triumphantly, its closed eyes opening to reveal a faint golden glow in its pupils, which stunned everyone.


    An incredibly frightening aura erupted from the coffin!


    Yan Jinye and the two women, already on the brink of exhaustion, spat out blood and were blown away.


    ¡°Damn! When he was alive, he must have swallowed a corpse pearl from a Golden Armored Zombie. That¡¯s why he could transform his body within a hundred years, developing some qualities of a Golden Armored Zombie,¡± said the experienced Shan Hongyi, his face changing dramatically.


    ¡°An old man who knows quite a bit, huh!¡±


    The Silver Armored Corpse, floating midway in the air, brandishing its war sword, looked at Shan Hongyi with a hint of surprise.


    ¡°Junior Sisters, retreat!¡±


    Shan Hongyi, without hesitation, threw two bottles of elixirs to Yan Jinye and Mei Jingjun. Then, flinging a talisman toward the direction of the White Jade Sacrificial Altar, he flew directly upward.


    But he had barely taken off when he was stopped by a war sword that swooped down from the sky.


    Bi Yiyuan, however, did something that Chen Mobai didn¡¯t expect.


    He swung the Wolf Fang Club, aiming a fierce attack at Mrs. Guo, whom he had just rescued from the White Jade Sacrificial Altar.


    With a clang!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Although the Jade Handle Golden Axe flew out and blocked Bi Yiyuan¡¯s attack, Mrs. Guo spat out blood, staining a large part of her veil red.


    ¡°Brother Bi, what are you doing?¡±


    Yan Jinye looked shocked and was about to persuade Bi Yiyuan not to go all out, when Mei Jingjun held her back.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you see? Something¡¯s wrong with her.¡±


    Initially, Chen Mobai was baffled, but after hearing Mei Jingjun¡¯s words, he furrowed his eyebrows and snuck away in search of an escape route.

 Chapter 307 - Chapter 307: Chapter 259: Underworld Array l

    Chapter 307: Chapter 259: Underworld Array l


    ¡°Is that how the Divine Wood Sect, despite being a major faction in the Eastern Wilderness, plans to kill me as an excuse to plunder the spiritual resources of my Guo family?¡±


    After blocking Bi Yiyuan¡¯s attack with her Golden Jade Axe, Madame Guo spat out fresh blood. Her usual gentle demeanor instantly sharpened. She took two lead pellets colored purple-gold from her belt, and as she channeled her spiritual power into them, faint golden arcs of electricity began to dance around them.


    ¡°Purple-gold God Thunder!¡±


    Seeing the two lead pellets in Madame Guo¡¯s hand, Bi Yiyuan, who had been planning to launch another attack, immediately halted.


    Although ChenMobai didn¡¯t know what those things were, he could sense the tremendous spiritual power contained within these small pellets. They were likely similar to the ¡®hand-thunder¡¯ used by the immortal factions.


    ¡°Madame Guo, after the three of us entered here, you used your Golden Jade Axe to wake the Silver Armored Corpse and induced Yan Jinye and me to inject our spiritual power into the Corpse Suppression Curse, aiding the Silver Armored Corpse in breaking its seal. How do you explain this?¡±


    Mei Jingjun was a woman with slightly yellowish skin and a well-proportioned figure.


    Everyone present turned their suspicious gaze to the pale-faced Madame Guo after hearing Mei Jingjun¡¯s words.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget, you were the ones who invited me.¡±


    Although Madame Guo¡¯s gaze was icy, she maintained her composure, rebutting each of Mei Jingjun¡¯s accusations with careful precision.


    Chen Mobai could understand her predicament. After all, everyone present, apart from her, belonged to the Divine Wood Sect.


    If they all agreed that she was problematic, they could effortlessly dispose of her, then split the contents of her storage bag amongst themselves.


    She had no choice but to tread carefully.


    ¡°Let¡¯s move on. It¡¯s not worth wasting time on her.¡±


    At this moment, Bi Yiyuan turned his grave gaze towards Feiming, who was slowly rising from Wumu Hall.


    Feiming, whom the transformation had turned completely into a Silver Armored Corpse, seemed to shimmer with a silver powder light. In the underground cavern, he appeared as bright as the moon, incredibly conspicuous.


    The tinkling sound of fighting resounded in the air above.


    Shan Hongyi, using his full firepower, controlled his crimson Flying Sword like a flaming serpent, engaging in a heart-stopping battle with the Silver Armored Corpse, who had monopolized the only upward passage.


    ¡± Indeed, one of you was arranged to come here to disrupt the Corpse Suppression Curse.¡±


    Feiming, with silver powder applied to his face, held up the five-colored Lotus Lamp in his right hand and laughed sinisterly. His statement made everyone present exchange uneasy looks.


    ¡°It¡¯s really you!¡± Yan Jinye exclaimed, her eyes filled with anger. She glared at Madame Guo, who sneered coldly in return. Madame Guo didn¡¯t offer a counterargument. She simply held the two lead pellets in her hand, her icy gaze sweeping over everyone present.


    ¡°Be careful. This could be an attempt by the enemy to create discord amongst us.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai finally spoke. He had been observing for a while and had not found any problems so far. However, compared to the unknown truth about a possible mole, the current main goal was to leave this cave dwelling.


    ¡°In any case, we need to get out of here first.¡±


    The moment Chen Mobai finished his sentence, everyone nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Which way did you two sisters come from?¡±


    Bi Yiyuan took out a full suit of armor from his storage bag and quickly dressed himself in it, fully armed.


    ¡°There is an underground passage at the bottom of this lake. We can reach another cavern through the undercurrent. After traversing for several kilometers, we can leave Lonely Spirit Ridge.¡±


    Upon hearing Yan Jinye¡¯s words, Feiming chuckled coldly and landed heavily on the White Jade Sacrificial Altar.


    At that moment, the earth shook violently.


    Stalactites fell one after another, forcing Chen Mobai and the others to use various means to defend themselves or dodge them.


    ¡°Oh no, he¡¯s trying to collapse the underground passage!¡±


    Yan Jinye instantly understood Feiming¡¯s intention.


    She summoned her magic artifact¡ªa Medicine Hoe that Chen Mobai had seen before¡ªto try to stop Feiming.


    However, the five-colored Lotus Lamp set off a burst of flames, and an invisible light barrier appeared again, freezing Yan Jinye¡¯s Medicine Hoe in mid-air.


    Next, Feiming raised his hand and a gray deathly aura instantly enveloped the Medicine Hoe.


    Accompanied by the crisp sound of falling, the Medicine Hoe lost all its spiritual light and fell into the lake.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sharp sound of three Sword Qi shattering the air resonated. The three Sword Qi lined up in the air, forming a ¡°H¡± character. They pierced into Feiming¡¯s forehead, neck, and heart like startling sparks of lightning the moment the wick of the Lotus Lamp went out.


    However, the potentially lethal Red Flame Sword Qi was only able to leave a trace of charred tailings on Feiming¡¯s silver-gray skin.


    This was due to the fire attribute of the Red Flame Sword Talisman used by Chen Mobai; had it been something else, it probably wouldn¡¯t have even left a mark.


    Boom!


    Before Chen Mobai made his move, Bi Yiyuan, who had also seized the opportunity just as the light of the Lotus Lamp went out, swung his Wolf Fang Club heavily towards Feiming.


    However, his body couldn¡¯t move as swiftly as the Sword Qi, so his attack reached Feiming only after the Red Flame Sword Qi had been blocked.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Faced with the Wolf Fang Club¡¯s impressive might¡ªdistinctly different from his previous strikes¡ªFeiming didn¡¯t seem to want to take any chances. He opened his mouth and spat out a golden bead that ricocheted like a marble, effectively stopping Bi Yiyuan¡¯s all-out attack.


    Feiming¡¯s dark golden pupils constricted, and the Lotus Lamp in his right hand reignited.


    The invisible light barrier flickered, as if it was endowed with enormous strength. It forcefully repelled Bi Yiyuan.


    Whistle!


    At this moment, Chen Mobai, who had been waiting for this opportunity, controlled his Divine Wood Sword. Like a fish swimming through water, he slipped through the gap as the barrier disappeared when the lamp wick extinguished. He lightly circled Feiming¡¯s neck with his sword.

 Chapter 308 - Chapter 308: Chapter 259 Underworld Array_2

    Chapter 308: Chapter 259 Underworld Array_2


    A screeching sound!


    With a deafening noise, the Divine Wood Sword landed on what seemed like a chunk of pure iron. It slightly pierced the outer layer, but was then firmly seized by the left hand of Feiming Daoist, unable to advance further.


    ¡°Interesting, he is actually a sword cultivator.¡±


    Feiming Daoist¡¯s dark golden eyes moved onto Chen Mobai off in the distance. Of all the six Foundation Establishment cultivators present, he had paid the least attention to this handsome young man.


    Because he could sense that the young man¡¯s cultivation level was only just starting to establish a foundation.


    However, the swordsmanship displayed in these two rapid attacks, expertly capitalizing on the gaps in his magic artifact¡¯s defenses, reflected an impressive visual prowess and Sword Dao Realm. It even surpassed the older man in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.


    As Feiming Daoist turned his attention to Chen Mobai, Bi Yiyuan, who had initially been repelled by the Lotus Lamp, launched his Wolf Fang Club. Seizing the moment when his opponent was stalled by the Divine Wood Sword, he struck him heavily on the forehead.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Feiming Daoist¡¯s head cracked open like a baseball being hit, revealing an empty scalp. He was smashed heavily into the wall of the cave, leaving a human-shaped hole.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    Having landed a hit, Bi Yiyuan did not hesitate and took back his magic artifact before flying upwards.


    Remaining underground in the hidden current tunnel was too risky, and since he did not know the Earth Escape Technique, he decided to follow Shan Hongyi¡¯s example and head upwards.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate either. Summoning back the Divine Wood Sword, he merged with it and started running at full speed.


    Yan Jinye and Mei Jingjun also decisively followed them.


    ¡°Attack together!¡±


    Shan Hongyi yelled out, and the five Divine Wood Sect cultivators who had never collaborated before simultaneously unleashed their most powerful fire-attribute spells on Feiming Daoist¡¯s Silver Armored Corpse!


    In an instant, flames filled the sky, immersing the Silver Armored Corpse. There were flame serpents, fireballs, Purple Fire Sword Aura, and rolling thunder, engulfing like a meteor shower and melting more than half of his wide-bladed war sword.


    The five people of the Divine Wood Sect did not care about their battle achievements and rushed straight for the exit that the Silver Armored Corpse had left unguarded before, flying into it.


    As they were leaving, Chen Mobai caught a glimpse of Lady Guo. She was flying across the lake on escaping light.


    ¡°She chose the opposite direction.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s no use. This is my Netherworld Mansion, all spatial dimensions are within my control.¡±


    With the sound of Feiming Daoist¡¯s voice, Chen Mobai and the others suddenly felt a surge of silver mist obscuring their vision, and they could no longer discern the direction.


    Upon extending their divine senses and identifying the exit, the cultivators attempted to leave. However, they soon discovered that they had been transported back to their original location.


    Then, a silver fog carrying a cold and sinister aura rose from below, filling the cave and blocking their sight.


    ¡°Fellow disciples, don¡¯t panic!¡±


    Shan Hongyi¡¯s voice echoed as a light lit up in the silver mist, dispersing all darkness and bringing them back into the light.


    It was one of Shan Hongyi¡¯s magic artifacts, perfectly suited for this kind of situation.


    Chen Mobai retracted his Void Spirit Eye, stood on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, and took his place in four corners with the other members of his sect, all showing solemn expressions.


    Above the two of them, Feiming Daoist¡¯s Silver Armored Corpse reappeared at the cave entrance, having unknowingly healed the injuries that they had inflicted.


    His body was charred all over, one of his arms was missing, but the silver mist swirled into his wounds and in the blink of an eye, the wounds healed at a visible rate.


    ¡°lam beginning to get familiar with this new body.¡±


    Feiming Daoist emerged from the cave wall, the wound on his forehead inflicted by the Wolf Fang Club quickly healing. The smoke emitted from his Lotus Lamp turned into beneficial silver mist for the Silver Armored Corpse.


    ¡°Netherworld array, activate!¡±


    Once familiarized with his new body, Feiming Daoist started manipulating the formation of the cave dwelling he had set up in his previous life.


    Then, a portal in the void opened, and Lady Guo, who should have escaped, rushed out with a panicked expression on her face.


    So, that¡¯s how it is!


    Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai and the others realized that they were teleported back here in the same manner.


    What was the origin of this Netherworld array that it could be so mysterious?


    After landing next to Feiming Daoist, Lady Guo tried to attack with her Jade Handle Golden Axe, but was repelled by the colorful Lotus Lamp, which caused her magic artifact to stagnate. She was heavily smashed against the cave wall.


    But Lady Guo wasn¡¯t as resilient as the Silver Armored Corpse, and she nearly shattered on the spot.


    Even so, her vision blackened, and though she managed to barely maintain her form lodged in the cave wall, her breath was feeble.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t she one of yours?¡±


    Watching this unfold, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°One of mine? I never said it was her.¡±


    Having said this, Feiming Daoist grabbed the Jade Handle Golden Axe that Lady Guo had been holding in front of her and threw it at her. It penetrated straight through Lady Guo¡¯s chest, avenging his corpse that had been previously cut by this axe.


    Upon seeing such a gruesome sight, Chen Mobai and Yan Jinye frowned slightly, while the other three seemed used to it.


    At this moment, Feiming Daoist pulled the Jade Handle Golden Axe from the lifeless body of Lady Guo, and threw it towards Bi Yiyuan in the air.


    Clang!

 Chapter 309 - Chapter 309: Chapter 259: Underworld Array 3

    Chapter 309: Chapter 259: Underworld Array 3


    Bi Yiyuan used his Wolf Fang Club to smash open the golden jade axe, but to his surprise, he discovered that his weapon was lighter, the three spikes on it having been severed, revealing a shimmery cut surface.


    This golden jade axe is indeed sharp!


    No wonder it was able to cut open the body of the Feiming Taoist.


    ¡°Junior Brother Bi and I will join forces to cut down this silver-armored corpse above. Junior Brother Chen and two Junior Sisters, can you hold off the Feiming Taoist for a while?¡±


    Seeing this, Shan Hongyi quickly proposed a strategy.


    Everyone understood the current situation. Although Yan Jinye and Mei Jingjun looked uncomfortable, they had no option but to agree.


    Chen Mobai remained silent, everyone took that as his agreement.


    ¡°One of my men is still among you.¡±


    At this moment, the Feiming Taoist added another psychological warfare tactic, Shan Hongyi and Bi Yiyuan exchanged a look and simultaneously attacked the silver-armored corpse in the air.


    The two of them released a terrifying spiritual power in an instant that shook the entire cave dwelling. Within just five or six moves, they crushed their opponent, then plunged into the cave entrance and vanished.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go too.¡±


    Yan Jinye, pulling Mei Jingjun along, followed the path cleared by the two men.


    They turned into a green light, rapidly ascending.


    ¡°Huh, aren¡¯t you leaving?¡±


    Feiming Taoist looked curiously at Chen Mobai who had stayed put.


    ¡°Can they escape?¡±


    Chen Mobai replied with a strange question.


    ¡°They probably can¡¯t.¡±


    The Feiming Taoist¡¯s response was also intriguing and ambiguous.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Although my Underworld Array is deployed based on the local conditions here, the array plate has defects, and an Array Master above Rank-3 can find a way to break it.¡±


    ¡°How unfortunate. It seems we don¡¯t have a Rank-3 Array Master among us.¡±


    Shan Hongyi had some knowledge of formations, but Chen Mobai appeared to be mainly relying on his long years of experience.


    Bi Yiyuan was a body cultivator, Yan Jinye was an alchemist, and Mei Jingjun, whom he had no contact with, did not seem to be a Rank- 3 Array Master either.


    ¡°You guessed right. Indeed, there¡¯s none.¡±


    The multi-colored Lotus Lamp in the hands of the Feiming Taoist flickered, reflecting images of Shan Hongyi and the other three flying endlessly within the passage but never making it outside of Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    ¡°I¡¯ve split the four of them up, you can go and chase them down one by one. I want to play with this sword cultivator slowly.¡±


    The silver-armored corpse, which had recovered under the effects of the silver mist, nodded. Since its weapon was destroyed, it picked up the golden jade axe. Chen Mobai watched as it disappeared, pursuing his fellow disciples to execute them.


    ¡°Oh, aren¡¯t you going to stop it?¡±


    The Feiming Taoist felt a bit disappointed seeing Chen Mobai still standing on the cloud, believing that his mind game had failed.


    ¡°No, dealing with you alone will be much easier.¡±


    Chen Mobai responded with a sentence that made the Feiming Taoist raise his eyebrows.


    ¡°Are you aware of what you¡¯re saying?¡±


    The Feiming Taoist¡¯s face darkened, he lifted the multi-colored Lotus Lamp in his hand, preparing to use this magic artifact to torment this presumptuous boy, when a green flying sword shot out of Chen Mobai¡¯s hand.


    The overwhelming Sword Qi Long Rainbow descended, carrying ostentatious flames, which were easily condensed, immobilized, and dissipated by the colorful firelight¡­


    Too weak!


    Just as the Feiming Taoist was sighing and ready to eliminate this disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, a dazzling purple light like a shooting star appeared in his vision, such as he had never seen before.


    He looked up, only to see Chen Mobai pulling out a hairpin and drawing it lightly downwards.


    The Feiming Taoist turned grim, planning to spew out a golden pearl, but the speed of purple sword light was far beyond his expectation.


    He wanted to rely on the tough body of the silver-armored corpse to resist it.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As long as there was no fatal injury, he could swiftly recover with the aid of the magic artifact.


    But when he finally came to his senses, he found his head flying in the air, his eyes could see his headless body still holding the multicolored Lotus Lamp. How is this possible?


    Could a mere Sword Rainbow break my defense?


    It was not until the Feiming Taoist¡¯s bewilderment that he found something wrong.


    The thing that just struck him, it didn¡¯t seem to be a Sword Rainbow!

 Chapter 310 - Chapter 310: After a fierce battle of 260, he was killed _1

    Chapter 310: After a fierce battle of 260, he was killed _1


    It was a sword light!


    Finally, the Daoist Flying Spirit reacted.


    However, at this time it was already too late. Even for a zombie, being beheaded was a fatal injury.


    However, before he died, there was at least one more thing he had to do.


    After Chen Mobai had killed Daoist Flying Spirit with all his might, he was about to burn this silver armored corpse using the Qingyang Fire Seed. However, he spotted a golden pearl emerging from the neck of the headless corpse like a dazzling, dark golden sun.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Chen Mobai, who felt the intense fluctuation of the spiritual power, immediately realized that this was the opponent¡¯s final struggle before his death.


    Without daring to take risks, he unleashed all his defensive methods and quickly retreated.


    Chixia¡¯s Red Misty Cloud Silk cloaked his whole body, lifting him rapidly with a faint red light, like a cloud.


    Then, dark green scales flew out from his right hand sleeve, forming a shield covered in scales, protecting him from the Chixia.


    Even after these two defensive measures, Chen Mobai was still a little uneasy.


    He bit his left finger and painted a symbol in the air, setting up a ¡®Spirit Leaf Technique¡¯.


    Although he could not initiate the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation in time, it was still the most potent defensive magic he currently knew and could perform.


    Finally, he took out a defensive talisman from his storage bag. If the three layers of defenses in front of him couldn¡¯t withstand the terrifying force of the golden pearl¡¯s explosion, this talisman would provide him a fraction of time to recede further.


    Of course, before retreating, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t forget to retrieve his ¡®Flying Sparrow Hairpin¡¯.


    It was the most valuable thing he owned now.


    A Rank-2 high-grade attack magic artifact, it was worth over a thousand spirit stones in value.


    Moreover, it was a fire attribute flying sword, which is most suitable for Chen Mobai to execute the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    Since Chen Mobai obtained the artifact, he had used it twice. Coupled with the Qingyang fireseed boosted by the Sun Raising Technique, he killed two laymen who were in the Foundation Establishment Phase with just a single shot. It is indispensable for him.


    The Flying Sparrow Hairpin, already in sync with his divine sense, burst into a pure purple flame as soon as the golden pearl emerged from the headless corpse. It deflected its direction akin to a dexterous sparrow.


    However, at this moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye noticed the multicolored lotus lamp that the headless corpse was holding.


    His divine sense directed the Flying Sparrow Hairpin¡¯s tail fire to elongate and transform into a chain of fire. It pulled the Lotus Lamp and the separated hand towards Chen Mobai, who had retreated to the entrance of the cave, right when the explosion was about to occur.


    However, Chen Mobai, who had already fled, didn¡¯t notice that a small, pure and quintessential spirit had flown out from the wick of the Lotus Lamp as he took it.


    Boom!


    The terrifying spiritual force that erupted from the golden pearl swept across the entire underground cave like a tsunami in a snap.


    Despite retreating at his fastest speed, Chen Mobai still felt the overwhelming spiritual energy fluctuations mixed with the cold, evil corpse energy. They struck his triple-layer defense like a tempest.


    The external green scale shield disintegrated first, scattering into fragments.


    It was deprived of all its spiritual power during the airborne shuffle and was subsequently sucked back by the chitin armguard worn on his right hand.


    At this moment, a touch of deep purple light flew towards Chen Mobai from afar. He took out his storage bag and accepted the Flying Sparrow Hairpin and the Lotus Lamp.


    In the midst of the vibrating and thunderous explosion, the faint red glow from the Red Misty Cloud Silk started to warp and fade.


    Chen Mobai, however, had already ascended to a considerable height with the help of his Divine Wood Sword. He was expending his spiritual power lavishly to break the rocks and make his way.


    The attack that Daoist Flying Spirit had inflicted before his death was rather easy to fend off after withstanding the initial turbulence and maintaining a safe distance.


    Chen Mobai halted his actions, waited for the aftermath to fade while simultaneously crushing the falling rock debris.


    About the time it took to brew a pot of tea later, the terrifying surge of spiritual energy finally started to dissipate.


    The earthquake ceased.


    After waiting for a while, Chen Mobai took out the Flying Sparrow Hairpin and the Five-colored Lotus Lamp from his storage bag, confirming there was no danger.


    He placed the jade-green hairpin back into his hair before looking at his gains: an exquisite Five-colored Lamp.


    The only eyesore was the severed hand attached to it.


    Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai used the Qingyang Fire Seed to burn it into ashes. He then reached out and took the Lotus Lamp, which was obviously not an ordinary magic artifact.


    While Chen Mobai did not dare to hastily inject his spiritual power into it, he felt that this artifact might rank above two.


    However, it appeared incomplete, and he didn¡¯t know how to ignite it.

    It seemed he needed to return to the Celestial Gate and ask his dear friend to identify it.


    Thinking so, Chen Mobai put the Five-colored Lotus Lamp back into his storage bag and continued to dig with his flying sword.


    He had nearly hundreds of intermediate-grade spirit stones, enough to keep the flying sword running and to hollow out the entire Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    However, two days later, when Chen Mobai had tunneled through a mountain wall and thought he had struck an undamaged tunnel, he found the scene in front of him extremely familiar.


    This was the cave where he had killed Daoist Flying Spirit, wasn¡¯t it?

 Chapter 311 - Chapter 311: Chapter 260: After a fierce battle, he was

    Chapter 311: Chapter 260: After a fierce battle, he was


    killed _2


    However, the original underground lake had long been filled in by stalactites and other debris scattered by explosions. The White Jade Sacrificial Altar, along with the headless corpse, had also turned into dust under the explosion of the


    Golden Pearl.


    Chen Mobai flew around, confirming several signs of battle, and his expression


    became grave.


    What had happened?


    Could it be that Daoist Fei Ming had died, yet the Underworld Array was still


    active?


    Was he still within the range of this formation?


    Or was it possible¡­Daoist Fei Ming wasn¡¯t dead!?


    Or else, perhaps that Silver Armored Corpse who pursued Shan Hongyi could manipulate the Underworld Array as well?


    Chen Mobai pondered all the possibilities, cross-legged on the Red Misty Cloud Silk, pulling out an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone to replenish his exhausted spiritual power.


    In the situation where a fight might break out again, he needed to maintain his


    peak condition.


    Half a day later, he opened his eyes, operating the Void Spirit Eye.


    This Art of Spiritual Eyes, touted as the most comprehensive among immortal sects, was something Chen Mobai, with relentless cultivation for half a year using Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, had already mastered.


    Now exerting its full power, he immediately saw residual traces of differently colored Spiritual Power in the air.


    He compared them to his memories, first identifying the the most vibrant red glow.


    That was Shan Hongyi¡¯s!


    Among the five people from the Divine Wood Sect, only he was at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, thus, without concealing, the residual traces of Spiritual Power left behind would naturally be the most noticeable.


    Chen Mobai instantly followed in the direction that he disappeared.


    However, halfway through, he found that the traces of Spiritual Power abruptly vanished.


    He immediately recalled the scene where Lady Guo, who had originally escaped, was teleported back by Daoist Fei Ming. It must have been the Underworld Array that teleported Shan Hongyi to another place in the Lonely


    Spirit Ridge.


    However, such a Large Formation with the potential to teleport at any time would surely have rigorous activation conditions.


    Chen Mobai recalled the knowledge about array techniques he had learned and quickly figured out the key point.


    The Teleportation Array required a tremendous amount of Spiritual Energy to activate.


    He had once used the Teleportation Array in the Southstream Market to reach Yun Meng Ze, which not only drained the Spiritual Energy from the Market¡¯s earth veins but also required Spirit Stones as an energy source during activation.


    The Array Plate for the Underworld Array must be in a place with the most abundant Spiritual Energy.


    Either at the core of the earth veins, or a place stacked with numerous Spirit


    Stones.


    Chen Mobai revoked the Void Spirit Eye and put on his gold-rimmed glasses with newly replaced lenses.


    Although this Magic Artifact was fragile, its functionality was reliable.


    After expanding the range to its maximum, Chen Mobai flew towards the place where the Spiritual Energy Value flared up the most.


    With a bang!


    He punched through a mountain wall and entered a cave. Seeing the scene before him, he couldn¡¯t help but be slightly taken aback.


    He saw Bi Yiyuan with his eyes wide open, a large hole in his chest, heart entirely gouged out, already dead.


    However, the ground beneath his corpse did not have a single trace of blood. With a single glance, Chen Mobai knew the reason, it was because not a drop of blood, from head to toe, remained in his body.


    Was it done by that Silver Armored Corpse?!


    Speculating inwardly, Chen Mobai gently closed Bi Yiyuan¡¯s eyes. In such a dangerous place, he dare not travel with a corpse.


    Furthermore, the space in his storage pouch was limited, so this was the only help he could offer.


    Surveying the surrounding battle traces, Chen Mobai found a Wolf Fang Club with only its iron handle remaining, and armor that had been cut through.


    Touching the cut on the armor plate, smooth as jade, he immediately thought of that Gold Jade Axe.


    This Magic Artifact was probably not inferior to his own Flying Sparrow Hairpin. It¡¯s a pity that Lady Guo was not lucky. It was not known where this Artifact came from, but it tragically fell on this Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    Chen Mobai searched around but didn¡¯t find anything like a storage bag, so he didn¡¯t waste any more time.


    He pursued the location where the spiritual energy fluctuations were the most intense once again.


    He was getting closer and closer.


    He could even faintly hear the explosive sound of flames roaring.


    After the Divine Wood Sword flew out and cut open a mountainside, Chen Mobai rushed into another large underground lava cave.


    What came into view was Shan Hongyi, who was casting the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation.


    One look revealed that this Cultivator who was a foundation establishment elder of the Divine Wood Sect, had one side of his face green and the other red, the spiritual powers of wood and fire were continuously revolving inside his body. When they clashed with each other, they transformed into a vast and boundless ¡°Heavenly Wood Spirit Light¡± and ¡°Red Flame Sword Qi¡±.


    And at his oblique sides, two Red-sun Spirit Trees rose from the ground, which were Yan Jinye and Mei Jingjun.


    The three of them opened their hands, using their divine sense and spiritual power with all their might, manipulated the three Heavenly Wood Spirit Lights to merge into a huge ball of light, trapping the Silver Armored Corpse inside.


    The three foundation establishment cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect had jointly cast the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, setting up a formation within the Underworld Array of the Netherworld Mansion, suppressing the flow of the spiritual energy of the Earth Veins in the Lonely Spirit Ridge. They used this method to demonstrate and shield the power of the Underworld


    Array.


    ¡ö¡¯Brother Chen arrived just in time. We four can join hands to refine it.¡± In the center of the three was the Silver Armored Corpse of the Flying Nether Daoist.


    He was holding a gold jade axe and continually assaulted the cage formed by the three Heavenly Wood Spirit Lights, but with Shan Hongyi using fire attribute Red Flame Sword Qi to resist from the front, he maintained a stalemate.


    Without a doubt, the arrival of Chen Mobai made the faces of the three from the Divine Wood Sect light up with joy.


    On seeing Chen Mobai burst in, the Silver Armored Corpse¡¯s face also dramatically changed.


    Immediately afterward, as if he had made some decision, without any hesitation, he directly spat out a silver pearl.


    He actually imitated the Flying Nether Daoist and self-detonated his Corpse Pearl.


    The three from the Divine Wood Sect didn¡¯t expect this, and were immediately severely injured. A green shield in Shan Hongyi¡¯s hand cracked open, his face turned pale, as if his spiritual power was depleted excessively, his originally black hair started to turn half grey and half white.


    The most tragic one was Yan Jinye. Her cultivation level was the weakest, the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light that was connected to her heart and mind exploded when the Silver Armored Corpse spit out the pearl, she directly turned pale as golden paper, blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth and she collapsed on the ground.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t pay attention to Mei Jingjun. After the Silver Armored Corpse self-detonated its Corpse Pearl, it unexpectedly escaped unscathed, on the contrary, it used this powerful strength to break through the cage of the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light.


    He held the gold jade axe and directly cut into the Green Iron Shield in Shan Hongyi¡¯s hand. Then, he extended his sharp claws towards the latter¡¯s heart. Shan Hongyi let go of the shield in his hand, together with the axe on it, he tossed it into the air. His complexion turned fiercely red, intending to use a secret technique that would result in mutual destruction. A green flying sword flew past his cheek from behind, striking straight into the brow of the Silver Armored Corpse.


    With a ¡°ding¡± sound!


    The Silver Armored Corpse which was already in front of Shan Hongyi was instantly pushed back, pinned to the opposite mountainside by Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Wood Sword piercing through its forehead.


    ¡°Brother Shan, are you alright?¡±


    The voice of Chen Mobai came from behind. Shan Hongyi, who had been desperately holding on, couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. He sat his rear down on a stone in the lava cave, took out a spirit stone, and began to recover while gasping for breath.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯m fine, but it¡¯s a shame that Brother Bi didn¡¯t cultivate the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, so he couldn¡¯t shield the teleportation power of the Underworld Array like us. Not long ago, he was killed by the demonic corpse.¡±


    With each word Shan Hongyi spoke, his expression became more somber.


    His mission this time initially seemed to be a simple task. He never imagined that they would lose a fellow sect member along the way.


    ¡ö¡öAh it¡¯s all my fault for not discovering the operating rules of the Underworld Array sooner. Perhaps if I had come earlier, I might have been able to save Brother Bi.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed, and Mei Jingjun, who was not far away, walked over with a weak Yan Jinye.


    ¡°How did Brother Chen manage to escape the pursuit of the Silver Armored Corpse?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Mei Jingjun asked curiously. After all, she only realized that they could use the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation to block the Underworld Array in a moment of life and death crisis.


    This was made possible because the Silver Armored Corpse was delighting in the notion of slowly killing and feeding on them one by one, and had teleported Bi Yiyuan away from them first. When it was killing this physical cultivation cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, it inadvertently bought Mei Jingjun thinking time, finding a slim chance to survive.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment and saw Yan Jinye¡¯s gaze. He knew that this woman was aware of his Sword Dao Realm.


    When they return to the sect, it would probably be impossible to hide it. So, he might as well tell the truth.


    ¡°I had a bitter battle with that Flying Nether Daoist and managed to kill him..¡±

 Chapter 312 - Chapter 312: Chapter 261: Void Stone_1

    Chapter 312: Chapter 261: Void Stone_1


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, everyone was stunned.


    They all knew how terrifying Fei Mingdaoren was.


    His cultivation level was ordinary, roughly similar to his in life, foundation establishment mid-stage.


    However, since he had transformed into a zombie, and even possessed some of the unique features of a Golden Armored Zombie¡¯s body, the toughness of his corpse far exceeded that of an ordinary Silver Armored Corpse. It could not be breached without a Rank-2 superior attack magical artifact or sword qi equivalent attacks. It would be tough to even scratch his skin.


    Furthermore, the mysterious lotus lamp, the Rank-3 Corpse Pearl, and the cover of the large formation of the Netherworld Mansion at Lonely Spirit Ridge, probably even a late Foundation Establishment cultivator could only manage to self-preserve here.


    However, such a powerful enemy was eliminated by this handsome junior brother of theirs!


    Looks of disbelief appeared on the faces of Shan Hongyi and Mei Jingjun.


    In contrast, Yan Jinye, who knew about Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Cultivation Realm, showed an expression of ¡°as it should be¡±.


    Condensed to the extreme, the Sword Light was sharp and unbeatable, the bane of the tough-skinned zombies.


    Moreover, there was this junior brother¡¯s Qingyang Fire Seed, obtained from the Secret Realm of the Divine Tree, which had strong yang energy.


    Combining the two, it was understandable to have struggled to kill Fei Mingdaoren.


    ¡°Worthy of being Senior Brother. It¡¯s normal that you could achieve this,¡± Yan Jinye said, which silenced Shan Hongyi and Mei Jingjun, who were initially somewhat dubious.


    They recalled the name Chen Mobai had earned in the sect as a newly advanced Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    A peerless Sword Cultivation Genius!


    Could this man be another Hong He?


    The two, thinking thus, looked at Chen Mobai differently.


    In the previous generation of True Disciples, Hong He was the most famous. He was strong when weak, killing three Rank-2 demonic beasts at the early foundation stage, hailed as the most brilliant genius of the Divine Wood Sect in a century, a Gold Core cultivator.


    Chen Mobai was able to kill Fei Mingdaoren at the early foundation stage, an accomplishment no less impressive.


    ¡°I am indebted to Junior Brother Chen for saving my life this time. When we return to the sect, I must properly thank you,¡± Shan Hongyi said, his tone completely different from before.


    ¡°This Jade Handle Golden Axe is a Rank-2 peak magic artifact. Junior Brother, you have contributed the most this time, you should take it.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw the Jade Handle Golden Axe that Shan Hongyi handed over and didn¡¯t react at first. But then considering the customs of the Tianhe Realm and seeing Mei Jingjun and Yan Jinye¡¯s matter-of-fact expressions, he accepted it graciously.


    Compared to the Lotus Lamp, which he didn¡¯t know how to use, this Jade Handle Golden Axe was very straightforward. Even with his basic treasure appraisal skills, he could deduce the practice method for it.


    Simply input spiritual powers into it.


    ¡°Since this place was the nest of Fei Mingdaoren, maintained for hundreds of years, there might be hidden treasures inside. Now that the greatest danger has perished under Junior Brother Chen¡¯s hand, we should look around,¡± said Shan Hongyi, slightly envious at Chen Mobai accepting the Golden Axe. He had personally experienced the power of this artifact; it even broke through his Rank-2 defensive magic weapon, pointing to its strength.


    As he couldn¡¯t acquire the Jade Handle Golden Axe, he hoped to scour this place to take some sort of compensation for the loss of his Rank-2 Magic Artifact.


    ¡°You two go ahead. I¡¯m unable to move, so I¡¯ll wait here,¡± said Yan Jinye with a bitter smile. Her face was pale and her vitality at its lowest point. It was feared that if she didn¡¯t recover, it would cause damage to her source.


    ¡°Then I will go to deal with Elder Brother¡¯s body, and at the very least, should bring his corpse back to the sect,¡± Mei Jingjun didn¡¯t fare much better, and since they owed their survival to Chen Mobai and the other¡¯s rescue, they tactfully gave them all the spoils.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, let¡¯s regroup here in an hour,¡± said Shan Hongyi before rushing off in the direction indicated by the bronze plate in his hand after he had finished speaking.


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and decided to go with the flow.


    After notifying Yan Jinye and the others to ensure their safety, he headed toward where he had sensed the most spiritual energy.


    Soon, he came to a cliff side.


    His sword qi burst out, and he carved through the rock disguise.


    He saw a cave dwelling that had been meticulously carved out. Before entering, he already felt a surge of rich spiritual energy.


    He looked closer and saw a small white jade sacrificial altar in the center of the dwelling¡ªidentical to the one he saw earlier with the Wumu Hall on it.


    Except, what was placed on this was a twenty-or-so diameter silver-gray disc.


    At one glance, Chen Mobai recognized it as an Array Plate.


    This Array Plate had three cracks, dividing it into four parts. Fei Mingdaoren seemed to have collected three of these already, and now it lacked a corner.


    After Chen Mobai ascertained it was safe, he reached out and took down the silver-gray Array Plate.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Then, the rich spiritual energy became even stronger, as if he were in a mist of spiritual energy.


    The familiar sensation caused Chen Mobai¡¯s face to change slightly.


    He activated his Void Spirit Eye and looked down at the small white jade sacrificial altar, only to find that it was made of Spirit Stone, and of a not low quality at that¡ªit met the standard of an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Spirit Stone in the ore state.¡± Due to Yuan Chiye serving as the town guard for the Spirit Stone Mine in the past year, Chen Mobai had heard him mention Spirit Stone mining conditions over drinks.


    In the world of Immortal Cultivation, the Spirit Stones in circulation were all cut to standard shapes and weights, to serve as the most basic unit of currency in circulation around the world..

 Chapter 313 - Chapter 313: Chapter 261: Void Stone _2

    Chapter 313: Chapter 261: Void Stone _2


    The rough spirit stone just mined is an unnatural shape nurtured in the earth. But after Yuan Chiye had overseen the Spirit Stone Mine in Lei Nation for half a year, the largest raw Spirit Stone he had ever seen was just the size of a skull.


    The one in front of Chen Mobai was already nearly the size of his chest.


    A rough estimate would put its value at around two to three hundred intermediate-grade spirit stones.


    All the Spirit Stone mines in the Eastern Wilderness were under the supervision of the seven major Sects.


    Loose cultivators were absolutely unable to trade for raw Spirit Stones.


    Is there a possibility¡­


    That the Daoist Feiming had a Spirit Stone mine, and he had mined it himself during his lifetime?


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai activated his Void Spirit Eye and scanned the entire cave dwelling from top to bottom.


    He finally found a hidden hollow.


    After opening up, he found several books within.


    Without examining them, he put the White Jade Sacrificial Altar, the Array Plate and these books into his storage bag. After confirming that he had not missed anything, he stepped out of the cave.


    After the collapse of the cave dwelling, Chen Mobai went back to where the Daoist Feiming¡¯s Wumu Hall was originally located.


    We dug out the huge White Jade Sacrificial Altar with great effort, but found that it was not a raw Spirit Stone. Disappointed, he was about to leave.


    ¡°Eh!¡±


    Chen Mobai stopped in his tracks, looking at a place.


    That was a human-shaped wall that had sunk in. If he remembered correctly, that was where Madam Guo was killed by the Daoist Feiming.


    Chen Mobai looked around, but didn¡¯t see any bodies.


    Did they disappear in the aftermath of the Golden Pearl¡¯s explosion?


    But why couldn¡¯t he see even a drop of blood or a bit of bone remains?


    Perhaps the center of the explosion was a high temperature, which turned the corpses into fly ash.


    Chen Mobai, thinking thusly, estimated that it was about time, and with his doubts, returned to the place he had left before.


    Upon his arrival, he found that Shan Hongyi had not yet returned.


    Yan Jinye¡¯s face was much better. After all, being an alchemist herself, she had various pills in her storage bag.


    Mei Jingjun had also split a stone sarcophagus with a magic artifact, and Bi Yiyuan¡¯s corpse was placed inside.


    ¡°My storage bag space is almost full as well as Sister Yan¡¯s, we can only carry it out.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded, indicating that his own storage bag was also full. However, since Shan Hongyi had the Floating Airship, as long as it was carried outside, it should be fine.


    After a while, it was getting close to the agreed time, but Shan Hongyi still had not returned.


    The two women were a bit anxious and Yan Jinye, who had been healing her injury all along, couldn¡¯t sit still anymore and began pacing back and forth.


    Just as Chen Mobai was pondering whether or not Shan Hongyi was in danger and whether or not he should escort the two junior sisters out first and go back to the sect for help, Shan Hongyi finally returned.


    His expression was excited, and in his hand he held a silver-gray ore. ¡°junior brothers and sisters, this place is actually a vein of Void Mysterious Stone. It¡¯s no wonder Daoist Feiming could lay down a large formation to transfer space.¡±


    Upon hearing Shan Hongyi¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s face jumped with surprise. The Void Stone, also known as the ¡°Void Stone¡±, was an essential material for the refining of storage bags.


    In the Immortal Gate, this ore was even one of the nine rare treasures, and even a Golden Core True Human might not be able to get one.


    in the Eastern Wilderness, only the Five Elements Sect and Shake Mountain headquarters had discovered two veins of Void Stone.


    The reason why the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff were divided at the beginning, and the reason why they fought with the Five Elements Sect for fifty years, was to include the Void Stone vein in their own territory, but the other three veins of the Five Elements Sect would not agree.


    The value of a Void Stone vein was immeasurable, and even a Golden Core ancestor would be alarmed.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, report to the sect right now.¡±


    Without any hesitation, Shan Hongyi put the Void Mysterious Stone into his own storage bag after he finished speaking.


    This harvest was too big, even for the four of them who were at the Foundation Establishment stage, it was too much to digest.


    Chen Mobai nodded.


    After leaving Lonely Spirit Ridge, they made their way back to Giant Tree Ridge without stopping.


    Because the Void Mysterious Stone vein was too precious, the four of them went directly to Shenmu Hall.


    Meng Hong, who was fishing at the time, got the news and promptly went to report to Elder Zhou in his closed-door cultivation.


    After waiting for about half a day, Meng Hong followed a young boy with white hair and a youthful face into the hall.


    ¡°Greetings to Elder.¡±


    Shan Hongyi immediately bowed to the young boy with white hair.


    The three of them, Chen Mobai, who had never seen the Golden Core ancestor of the Divine Wood Sect, didn¡¯t know until that moment that the boy was the Supreme Elder of the sect, and the head of the Shenmu Hall, with a faint reputation as the number one person in the Eastern Wilderness, Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°Greetings to Elder Zhou.¡±


    Chen Mobai, Yan Jinye, and Mei Jingjun also bowed in reverence.


    ¡°You¡¯re all young talens of our sect, there¡¯s no need for such formality.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s skin was smooth and delicate, his skin was faintly emitting a gem-like glow. Although he was over three hundred years old, he looked younger than Chen Mobai.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Golden Core ancestor spoke gently. After finishing, he did not waste time and directly asked them about all the details of their journey to the Lonely Soul Ridge.


    At first, of course, he asked Shan Hongyi.


    The piece of Void Mysterious Stone was held by Zhou Shengqing. After confirming that it was real, he asked Yan Jinye how she had discovered the cave dwelling.


    ¡°It was at a small trading fair. I exchanged a bottle of pills that are useful for breaking through the early Foundation Establishment stage for a fragment of a treasure map. After studying the maps in the Book Pavilion, I filled in the information on the map and found the location of Lonely Spirit Ridge.¡±


    -By the way, Madam Guo, who led me into this trading fair, is the Foundation Establishment elder of the Guo family..¡±

 Chapter 314 - Chapter 314: Chapter 261: Void Stone 3

    Chapter 314: Chapter 261: Void Stone 3


    ¡°Before I went to explore the Solitary Soul Ridge Cave, for safety¡¯s sake, after Mei sister agreed to go with me, I also sought out Mrs. Guo from the Guo family.¡±


    After Yan Jinye finished speaking, Zhou Shengqing asked a few more questions, all of which Yan answered one by one.


    ¡°What is the background of the Guo family?¡±


    Hearing the ancestor¡¯s question, Meng Hong on the side immediately answered.


    ¡°They are one of the immortal-cultivating families of Jian Country. They have two Foundation Establishment cultivators and are considered one of the top forces outside our sect.¡±


    ¡°Would wiping out their clan have any impact?¡±


    Upon hearing this sentence, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. The customs of Tianhe Realm were quite ruthless.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t work. There is another Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Guo family called Guo Boyear.¡±


    ¡°Who is Guo Boyear?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing looked puzzled. He did not have this name in his memory.


    ¡°He is a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Five Elements Sect. Even though it has been a long time since he returned to the Guo family, he still has to consider the influence of that side.¡±


    Upon hearing the Five Elements Sect, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s expression seemed to understand.


    It¡¯s not that he was scared, but if he had to fight with the Five Elements Sect again over this trivial matter, it would surely affect his solitary cultivation. He still has some hope for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± and can¡¯t waste any more time.


    ¡°Alright then, you let Cang Qi and Lu Yi pay attention to this Guo family. If anything happens, then we will act.¡±


    After saying these words, suddenly two Foundation Establishment cultivators whom Chen Mobai had never seen before came in.


    ¡°Pay respects to Elder Zhou.¡±


    One of them was dressed in a luxurious robe with a Jade Crown on his head, had a regular face, and his mustache was extremely symmetrical.


    The other one was neither tall nor fat, had a waxen complexion, and looked like an old farmer.


    The two have completely different temperaments, but after they came in, they first paid homage to Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°Hmm, Meng Hong, you tell them the situation.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing spoke and threw the Void Dark Stone Vein in his hand to the mustached cultivator. After the latter looked at it, his face became solemn and he handed it to the old farmer next to him with utmost seriousness.


    ¡°Tell me your thoughts. The mine vein is under the jurisdiction of your Spirit Vein department, and the Spirit Vein department is under the jurisdiction of your Reward Virtue Hall. There must be a rules and regulations.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai already knew the identities of the two.


    They must be the Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall and the Department Leader of the Spirit Vein department in the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°This mine vein belongs to our Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    The Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall stated his position as soon as he spoke.


    ¡°Other veins, probably the other sects will let it go. However, because the Void Dark Stone Vein is necessary for setting up the Teleportation Array, even if it is in our Divine Wood Sect¡¯s territory, a dispute may need to be initiated.¡±


    Meng Hong¡¯s face showed worry. As the Sect Leader, he had to consider the whole picture.


    ¡°I think we first need to ascertain the yield of the mine vein. If it is just a minor vein like the one at Shake Mountain, the other sects probably won¡¯t risk battling with the two old ancestors.¡±


    The Department Leader of the Spirit Vein department spoke maturely.


    ¡°What if the vein is big?¡±


    The one who asked this question was Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°Then I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll have to share some of it with Golden Cliff.¡±


    The one who answered was the Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall.


    ¡°Sigh, the Void Dark Stone Vein, I really don¡¯t want to give it up.¡±


    Upon hearing Zhou Shengqing say this, everyone present looked at each other.


    From the old ancestor¡¯s words, does he want to fight?

    Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled. The Divine Wood Sect could secretly mine this vein without letting others know.


    But he knew that if the idea was so simple, everyone in the hall would certainly know it, so he wisely kept his mouth shut.


    ¡°Ma Gang, first go and ascertain the size of the mine vein.¡±


    Finally, Zhou Shengqing made a decision and the Department Leader of the Spirit Vein department took his leave after taking the assignment.


    Mei Jingjun, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Spirit Vein department and familiar with the Solitary Soul Ridge, also followed him out..

 Chapter 315 - Chapter 315: Chapter 262: Harvest—1

    Chapter 315: Chapter 262: Harvest¡ª1


    Shan Hongyi discovered the Void Dark Stone Vein, a significant achievement.


    Upon hearing that he lost a defensive magic weapon in the Lonely Spirit Ridge, Elder Zhou compensated him with two Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talismans that he had personally crafted.


    Each of these talismans can be used three times to defend against any attack from cultivators under the Gold Core realm.


    In terms of value, they are even more precious than some enchanted treasures.


    Placed for auction in the Fang Market, each one would fetch a value of at least three or four thousand spirit stones.


    For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this is indeed a lifeline.


    When Shan Hongyi received the two talismans, Chen Mobai saw his hands trembling slightly.


    Despite his envy, he felt balanced as the original mineral spirit stone he received was of much more value.


    ¡°Both of you have made contributions too. I¡¯ll reward you with some spirit stones and sect contribution points.


    Before Zhou Shengqing left, he pointed to Chen Mobai and Yan Jinye and left these words behind.


    ¡°Yes, ancestor.¡±


    As the sect leader, Meng Hong immediately responded respectfully to the place where Zhou Shengqing had disappeared.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chu, what do you think would be an appropriate reward?


    After Meng Hong got up, he asked Chu Zuoshu, the hall master of the Reward Virtue Hall, who hesitated slightly.


    Normally, he would certainly hold back a bit, but since it¡¯s the ancestor¡¯s orders, he should be more generous.


    ¡°Six hundred for Sister Yan each. Chen Mobai slain two Silver Armored Corpses which is a great achievement, how about three thousand?


    ¡°Agreed.¡±


    Upon hearing these numbers, Meng Hong didn¡¯t say much else.


    Chen Mobai and Yan Jinye followed Chu Zuoshu to the Reward Virtue Hall, swiped their sect nameplates, and received their rewards.


    Seeing the three thousand spirit stones and three thousand sect contribution points that Chen Mobai received, Yan Jinye looked very envious.


    However, she considers herself lucky just being able to return alive this time.


    Shan Hongyi came along with them to the Reward Virtue Hall, and then the three of them went to the Alchemy Department together.


    The rewards from Zeng Woyou were yet to be collected.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    Yan Jinye gratefully saluted Zeng Woyou. If he hadn¡¯t posted the task and invited Chen Mobai and the others to save her, she would certainly be a corpse by now.


    ¡°It¡¯S nothing, the spirit stones for the task and the expenses are all on your account. I just advanced them for you.¡±


    After Zeng Woyou finished speaking, he took out a bottle of elixir and a jade box from his storage bag.


    The elixir was the ¡°Return the Jade Pill¡± he helped Shan Hongyi refine. It¡¯s very helpful for mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators to enhance their realms, and only Zeng Woyou in the entire Divine Wood Sect is confident enough to produce it.


    Of course, since it was Zeng Woyou who asked for help, it was him who provided all the ingredients for the elixir, the Medicinal Materials Spirit Grass.


    Shan Hongyi made a huge gain from this journey.


    After receiving the elixir, he didn¡¯t stay any longer and immediately excused himself to leave.


    He was eager to return, to count this time¡¯s losses and gains.


    ¡°Brother Chen, this is yours.¡±


    Zeng Woyou handed over another jade box to Chen Mobai. Chen opened it and saw inside.


    As expected, there were three bamboo fruits, still with some crystal-clear dew, seemingly freshly picked.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    His primary goal this time was Tree Fruit, but considering the current situation, it¡¯s not good to discuss too much with Yan Jinye.


    Chen Mobai was very satisfied with receiving three Bamboo Fruits.


    After all, he will only consume the Tree Fruits once a complete set is collected. As long as Yan Jinye has it, there will always be opportunities in the future. ¡°Brother Chen, I shall pay a visit to express my gratitude for saving my life once my injuries are fully healed.¡±


    When Chen Mobai was about to leave, Yan Jinye specially escorted him out the door, expressing her gratitude in her words.


    After all, despite Shan Hongyi¡¯s significant contribution of discovering the Void Dark Stone Vein to the sect, their safe return from the Lonely Spirit Ridge was thanks to Chen Mobai¡¯s formidable Sword Dao.


    ¡°By the way, junior sister, I have a little disciple¡­


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai thought it would be too blunt to directly mention the Tree Fruit, so he used Zhuo Ming as an excuse to invite Yan Jinye to visit Xiao Nanshan and give some guidance when she¡¯s free.


    ¡°I will.¡±


    Yan Jinye promised without hesitation. After all, she had always wanted to make friends with promising senior brother Chen Mobai, but hardly had the chance.


    Now that they share a bond forged in life and death, and being proactively invited by him, she promised to visit in a few days.


    After returning to Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai began to count his gains.


    He had learned quite a bit from this year¡¯s Treasure Appraisal course and quickly deduced most of the usage techniques for the golden jade axe. Although the practice method was simple, the power of this magic artifact was far from insignificant.


    After trying it, Chen Mobai found that without the reinforcement of the Qingyang Fire Seed, his Flying Sparrow Hairpin, in terms of pure attack, might be slightly inferior to it.


    This Golden Jade Axe could be classified as a top-notch Rank-2 magic artifact. In the market, such an artifact could sell for up to sixteen to seventeen hundred spirit stones. If auctioned, it might even exceed two thousand spirit stones with enough demand.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, after testing its power, Chen Mobai felt that the Flying Sparrow Hairpin was more suitable for him.


    The artifact Meng Hong gave him was quite insightful as it could perfectly combine his Qingyang Fire Seed and Purple Fire Sword Light to enhance its power.


    Combined, those surpassed the power of the Golden Jade Axe by far.


    Putting down the axe, he took out the five-colored Lotus Lamp, used his Appraisal knowledge to deduce its functionality, and merely found out that after injecting spiritual power, it could emit a defensive flame.


    However, Chen Mobai felt he could use this mysterious artifact to hone his appraisal abilities..

 Chapter 316 - Chapter 316: Chapter 262: Harvest 2

    Chapter 316: Chapter 262: Harvest 2


    Once he could fully understand the function and the training methods of this magical artifact, then his treasure appraisal skills can be said to have reached a professional level.


    Moreover, he is going to reside in the Tianhe Realm for a long time, and since Mmg Yuhua has also started focusing on secluded cultivation and Foundation Establishment after mastering the boundary law, he might not have any spare time to help him with appraisal.


    After storing the two appraised magical artifacts in his storage bag, Chen Mobai took out all his spirit stones.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, cultivators at Foundation Establishment stage are entitled to receive eight hundred spirit stones every year for their cultivation purpose.


    Chen Mobai also has the identity of a member of the Spirit Plant department, but since all the main positions are already filled, he can only receive six hundred spirit stones annually, which is the department¡¯s elder benefit.


    Adding these all up, he had received a total of one thousand four hundred spirit stones last year.


    If you add the ones given by Meng Hong, minus the ones used for cultivation and for the Formless puppet, Chen Mobai had 93 intermediate grade spirit stones left.


    Today, he collected 30 intermediate grade spirit stones from the Reward Virtue Hall, which is equivalent to more than two years of sect benefits.


    However, these added up are still less valuable than the original ore spirit stone from the White Jade Sacrificial Altar.


    This could probably be equivalent to three to four hundred intermediate grade spirit stones. Just in terms of value, it could be enough to buy ten Rank-3 Lingye Talismans.


    However, what excited Chen Mobai the most was this block of silver-grey array plate in his hand.


    The books that he had plundered from that cave dwelling were all records of the Underworld Array.


    All twelve volumes, from selecting a suitable terrain, forging Array Flags, Array Plates, to setting up the formation, activating, maintaining, and using the formation, were all described in detail.


    But that wasn¡¯t what shocked Chen Mobai.


    The content noted in the final three volumes seemed unbelievable even for him as a person from the Immortal Sect.


    This Underworld Array can actually integrate with the human body. If one refines Array into the body, they can teleport within a certain range.


    This teleportation distance depends on the realm of the cultivator who refined the array into their body, as well as the quantity of Void Stone absorbed by the array plate.


    Chen Mobai felt that this formation suits him very well.


    After all, he shuttles between two worlds every day, inherently giving him a connection with these spatial techniques.


    The unfortunate thing is that Array Refining into Body requires maintaining the array first.


    The array plate needs to be whole at least.


    Looking at the three-quarters assembled silver-grey array plate in his hand, Chen Mobai nodded.


    Only the final corner piece is missing; perhaps one day he will see it at a stall in the Fang Market of the Tianhe Realm.


    Once the array plate becomes complete, the cultivator¡¯s body needs to be robust, because only those with strong bodies can shuttle freely in the void.


    This would be a bit tricky.


    After all, Chen Mobai is just a Sword Cultivator, famously known for high offense and low defense.


    The other cultivation technique for gaining immortality also focuses on a broad application of spells.


    There are a lot of body training techniques in the Divine Wood Sect, the most famous of which is certainly the ¡°Longevity Taoist body.¡± However, when Chen Mobai thought about how this technique requires Elixir of Longevity to be fully accomplished, he felt he wouldn¡¯t be able to cultivate it.


    The ¡°Mixed Gold Copper Body¡± practiced by Bi Yiyuan is also excellent, but this technique is best for those with metal spiritual roots.


    The rest, like ¡°Wood Spirit Body,¡± ¡°Water Elemental Body,¡± and so on, are most powerful for assisting the corresponding attribute of spiritual energy refinement and improvement. It¡¯s unclear if the strength of the physical body can meet the requirements of the Underworld Array.


    The Pure Yang Daoist Body he is cultivating only enhances spiritual roots and the pre-natal Yuan Yang.


    As for the body refining technique, he could look in the Immortal Sect.


    After all, in terms of cultivation techniques, Chen Mobai still feels the Immortal Sect is more mature.


    Although due to the cost of many resources, very few people in the Immortal


    Sect practice body refining techniques, at least the system of cultivation techniques in the Immortal Sect is much more complete than in the Tianhe Realm.


    After thinking about this, Chen Mobai carefully put the array plate away.


    This trip to the Lonely Spirit Ridge had granted him the Underworld Array, which might even be valued above the tree fruit of long life.


    Indeed, the fixation of cultivators in the Tianhe Realm on exploring ancient cave dwellings does make sense.


    If one stays in their own sect every day, it might be safe, but surely there wouldn¡¯t be such huge gains.


    Emotionally charged, even Chen Mobai¡¯s normally cautious demeanor began to waver.


    He had to drop a few drops of the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew to calm his mind.


    Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai was having a pleasant conversation with Yan Jinye, while Zhuo


    Ming was serving at the side.


    There were also two male and female Qi Cultivation disciples in Alchemist


    Department uniforms who respectfully stood by.


    ¡°That¡¯s the general idea, but if you want to turn the Hundred Herb Elixir and the Restoring God Soup into medicinal liquor, you still need lots of trials ¡±


    After hearing Zhuo Ming¡¯s idea, Yan Jinye quickly proposed a solution based on her Rank-2 Alchemist abilities.


    However, as she is a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, she probably wouldn¡¯t spend too much time on such trivial matters.


    These two are disciples from my Alchemy Department. You can exchange ideas with them in the future.¡±


    The two disciples that Yan Jinye brought immediately stepped forward and greeted them. They were also excited about this matter because they could get two Rank-i elixir formulas for free.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In the Tianhe Realm, elixir formulas are the most precious inheritance among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal.


    Zhuo Mmg, under Chen Mobai¡¯s suggestion, took the two Alchemy Department¡¯s disciples to the wine cellar for a trial run.


    ¡°I heard, junior sister, that you got a Tree Fruit of Longevity in the Divine Tree Secret Realm?¡±


    After the two were left alone, Chen Mobai thought for a moment and felt it¡¯s better to ask directly.


    ¡°This¡­ did brother Zhou tell you?¡±

 Chapter 317 - Chapter 317: Chapter 262: Harvest_3

    Chapter 317: Chapter 262: Harvest_3


    Only Yan Jinye¡¯s mentor Zeng Woyou and Zhou Wangshen knew about her harvest in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, with the latter being more likely to leak the information.


    ¡°It seems so, Sister Yan, don¡¯t get me wrong. I¡¯m just curious.¡±


    ¡°Brother Chen, you flatter me. Indeed, I have acquired a Tree Fruit of Longevity that I dare not use. Since you brought it up, could it be that you are interested in this Fruit of Longevity?¡±


    As one of the selected Foundation Establishment geniuses of this generation, Yan Jinye was also perceptive. With just one sentence from Chen Mobai, she understood his meaning.


    ¡°To be honest with you, Sister Yan, I obtained an alchemy technique before joining the sect. Apart from practicing the Sword Dao, I also attempt to refine some elixirs in my spare time. The Tree Fruit of Longevity is undoubtedly a very precious spirit fruit. I was wondering if I could use the alchemy technique to remove its side effects, so upon hearing that you have one, I presumptuously asked.¡±


    ¡°Oh, does Brother Chen¡¯s alchemy technique come with elixir formulas?¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yan Jinye¡¯s eyes lit up.


    You must know, the key factor for an alchemist to grow is the number of elixir formulas they have at hand.


    The reason why Zeng Woyou is the number one Alchemy Master of the Divine Wood Sect is because he is a disciple of the Elder Zhou, and he obtained twenty-four elixir formulas from the Sect.


    Although Yan Jinye is his disciple, she could only assist him with the herbs before he passed away.


    If she wanted to have access to the Sect¡¯s elixir formulas, she had to rely on her own contribution points to exchange for them one by one.


    Up to now, she had only exchanged for four elixir formulas from the Sect.


    All her previous contribution points were spent buying Foundation Building Pills.


    In addition to these two, she has three other formulas that she acquired herself by buying or trading in the outside market.


    Unsightly as it might seem, she, as a Rank-2 Alchemist, can only concoct five types of Rank-1 elixirs and one type of Rank-2 elixir.


    Being able to get the Hundred Herb Elixir and Restoring God Soup for free today, not to mention those two Qi-Cultivation disciples, even she, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was very pleased.


    ¡°I do have a few elixir formulas.¡±


    Chen Mobai, pretending to be hesitant, gave a small hint.


    ¡°If the elixir formula provided by Brother Chen is valuable enough, I am willing to exchange this Fruit of Longevity for it.¡±


    Yan Jinye, being a generous woman, on seeing things come to this point, directly took out the jade box containing the Fruit of Longevity from her storage bag.


    ¡°May I know what kind of elixir formula Sister Yan needs?¡±


    ¡°Oh, does Brother Chen have many elixir formulas from his alchemy technique?¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yan Jinye¡¯s eyes lit up and she became excited.


    ¡°Not too many, but not too few either.¡±


    While Chen Mobai said this, he was thinking about the countless elixir formulas that could be downloaded from the Immortal Sect Network.


    All knowledge within the Immortal Sect is shared. Unlike the Daoism books and cultivation techniques, which require points to read or watch, most of the elixir formulas are free.


    In addition to the Immortal Sect requiring the elixir formula to be attached to each bottle of spiritual water, giving the elixir formula alone to an ordinary cultivator would hardly lead to the concoction of a Danless Poison Elixir that meets the Immortal Sect standards.


    ¡°You are well aware of the value of an elixir formula, Sister Yan. Even the most ordinary lower-grade Rank-2 elixir formula sells for two to three thousand Spirit Stones on the market. Although our relationship is quite strong, your Fruit of Longevity has too many side effects, so at most, I can only exchange it for two or three formulas.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai looked at the Tree Fruit of Longevity with a hesitant expression, as if he was not too keen on making the exchange.


    Seeing him like this, Yan Jinye got anxious.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I have saved up 3,200 Spirit Stones. Along with this Fruit of Longevity, could you please give me three formulas? If you ever need any elixirs concocted in the future and I am available, I will definitely not delay.¡±


    [Who needs you to concoct elixirs, I have already trained Qing Nu!]


    Although these thoughts were crossing the mind of Chen Mobai, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh, still appearing somewhat unwilling on his face.

 Chapter 318 - Chapter 318: Chapter 263: Exchanging Pill Prescription for Tree Fruit_1

    Chapter 318: Chapter 263: Exchanging Pill Prescription for Tree Fruit_1


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, I will forever remember your immense kindness and grace,¡±


    After receiving the alchemy recipe from Chen Mobai, Yan Jinye, her face flushed with excitement, emptied all the spirit stones in her storage bag.


    Chen Mobai looked distressed as usual.


    He accepted Yan Jinye¡¯s spirit stones ¨C over a dozen intermediate-grade ones and a pile of lower-grade ones ¨C placing them into his own storage bag as if he had suffered a great loss.


    ¡°Junior Sister, since this alchemy recipe is so precious, you must study and practice it on your own. You must absolutely not share it with anyone else,¡± Chen Mobai sternly warned.


    As a professional in the field, Yan Jinye immediately made a solemn Daoist vow. Her teacher, Zeng Woyou, had obtained all of the alchemy recipes from the Divine Wood Sect, but he could only study and comprehend them on his own.


    So, if Yan Jinye wants a certain alchemy recipe, she can only buy or trade for it herself.


    In the Tianhe realm, knowledge is extremely precious.


    After seeing off Yan Jinye, who had gained a lot and left with an empty bag of Spirit Stones, Chen Mobai turned to the Jade Box on his table with a smile.


    Inside, a fist-sized fruit with a grey shell and a white mark caught his eyes. It was a Tree Fruit.


    Picking up the fruit, Chen Mobai felt like he was holding an extremely massive and profound clump of energy.


    According to the description in the Dual-phase Rotation technique, a white mark signifies a small fruit, which is perfect for him.


    If he consumed it right away, he could rapidly break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.


    But of course, Chen Mobai would not act rashly. As long as the shell of the fruit remains intact, it can be preserved for a long time.


    He put the Tree Fruit back into the Jade Box with satisfaction.


    A high tower rises from the ground. Having obtained the first fruit is a good start.


    If he could really collect a set of three fruits, he would consider consuming them. If not, he could treat it as a collection of a rare and exotic treasure.


    However, now that he had the first fruit, he began to consider replenishing his lifespan.


    This was not something he would attempt to solve within the Tianhe realm.


    The Crimson City Cave Sky hosts a Life-Extension Cultivation Institute ¨C a university specialized in this field. Luckily, there seemed to be an event in the second half of the year that all universities in the cave sky will participate in.


    As a representative of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he could take this opportunity to exchange ideas with students from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute.


    It¡¯s a pity that Kong Feichen has joined the Ascension Sect. Otherwise, he could have asked him to check some relevant information in the Imperial Medical Academy.


    However, the origin of alchemy in the Immortal Sector comes from the Jumang Daoist Academy, maybe he could ask Qing Nu about it too.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai left a Message Talisman for Zhuo Ming, stating that he was closing down, before he sealed off the peak of Xiao Nanshan again.


    Now that he had obtained the Tree Fruit from Yan Jinye, his purpose for staying in the Tianhe Realm had been fulfilled. He could return to the Immortal Sector to handle the matters he had been pondering.


    Amidst the shimmering silver light, Chen Mobai, having returned to the Treasure Trove, opened his eyes.


    First, he called Qing Nu to deepen their relationship and ask if she was available at the end of the year.


    The Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew was almost depleted, and he wanted to ask Qing Nu to help brew two more portions.


    Since Vermillion Fruit could only be exchanged with credits at the end of the year, he was just trying to arrange a time with Qing Nu for then.


    By the way, during the call, he would inquire about replenishing his lifespan.


    However, the call was not connected, and an automated text message was returned.


    As it turned out, Qing Nu had sensed an opportunity and got a glimpse of the Dao. She was now in seclusion, working on her Foundation Establishment.


    Not just Chen Mobai, everyone was unable to reach her.


    After reading the message, Chen Mobai was genuinely happy for Qing Nu.


    After all, throughout his journey, he didn¡¯t have many friends.


    And Qing Nu was one of his best friends.


    In the long future, if he could indeed reach the Core Formation stage, the only friend who could accompany him would probably be Qing Nu, who possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    [You will definitely succeed.]


    After sending a message back, Chen Mobai left the Treasure Trove.


    Since Qing Nu couldn¡¯t be counted on for the time being, Chen Mobai had another good friend ¨C Wang Xingyu.


    As the top alchemist of the class of 5012, he had passed the examination for a Rank-2 Alchemist¡¯s certificate and was a genuine genius.


    Moreover, last year, it was Wang Xingyu who had helped Chen Mobai select a high-quality Vermillion Fruit. His contribution to the success of Qing Nu¡¯s Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew was undeniable.


    However, thinking that he currently had three Bamboo Fruits but not enough credits to exchange for three Vermillion Fruits at the end of the year made Chen Mobai feel a bit gloomy.


    A Vermillion Fruit of Rank-2 cost 20 credits. If he had not mooched ten semesters of credits from the Sword Control Department this year, he could probably only exchange for one at the end of the year.


    Immediately after exiting the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai called Wang Xingyu.


    ¡°Old Chen? What a surprise!¡± came Wang Xingyu¡¯s surprised voice from the phone.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Bro, the merchant who cultivates bamboo has matured three more Bamboo Fruits this year. Could you help me choose three high-quality Vermillion Fruits again?¡±


    ¡°No problem, but do you have enough credits?¡±


    ¡°Enough for two.¡±


    Wang Xingyu was a man of his word. After ending the call, he immediately guided Chen Mobai to a robust, luxuriant Vermillion Fruit Tree in Building Three.


    On the thickest brown branch, there were three fiery red fruits. From a distance, they looked like red jade, brimming with elemental energy.

 Chapter 319 - Chapter 319: Chapter 263 – Trading Pills for Tree Fruits_2

    Chapter 319: Chapter 263 ¨C Trading Pills for Tree Fruits_2


    ¡°These three fruits are definitely of excellent quality.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded and then asked Wang Xingyu if he was confident about producing Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew.


    ¡°I can try, but I wouldn¡¯t say I¡¯m a hundred percent confident. This stuff is a bit offbeat, any Rank-3 alchemist or specialist who tried to produce it would likely end up with an excessive amount of pill toxicity.¡±


    As good brothers, Wang Xingyu told the blunt truth.


    ¡°What about if there were Spiritual Extracts?¡±


    ¡°If you add this gem to the mix, I might just barely manage to try, but there would still be a fifty percent chance that the pill toxicity would exceed the limit.¡±


    Meaning, he wasn¡¯t particularly confident about it.


    That wasn¡¯t like Qing Nu, she had succeeded on her first attempt.


    Chen Mobai quietly made a comparison in his heart.


    However, even if there was pill toxicity, as long as it wasn¡¯t too high, he wasn¡¯t afraid of it.


    His newly developed Flame Lighting Technique would be put to good use.


    ¡°I happen to have some Spiritual Extracts on me. Could you help me refine it? You can name the price.¡±


    Chen Mobai was always straightforward¡ªhe laid it all out on the table.


    ¡°You have them? This stuff is really rare. Our instructor says it is to force us to improve our alchemy under harsh conditions, so he doesn¡¯t give us any Spiritual Extracts. But isn¡¯t he basically just keeping our share for himself?¡±


    Wang Xingyu complained, suggesting that the instructors of their Alchemy Department were not as affectionate towards their students as those of other departments.


    ¡°By the way, where did you get this Spiritual Extract? Don¡¯t they distribute it exclusively to our Alchemy Department every month?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai calmly gave the excuse he had prepared earlier.


    ¡°You know I¡¯m in the Puppet Lines department. Spirit Stones are used as the energy source, and after many recharges, they easily wear out.¡±


    ¡°That makes sense.¡± Wang Xingyu agreed, then asked, ¡°By the way, old Chen, do you have a lot of Spiritual Extracts?¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated at this question.


    He had an overabundance of the stuff.


    The formulas from the Immortal Door, and the Spiritual Extracts from Tianhe Realm, all provided him with a virtually inexhaustible wealth.


    But one shouldn¡¯t brag about his wealth, even in front of his best friend. There are certain things he needed to keep hidden.


    ¡°I have some, but not much.¡±


    After hearing this, Wang Xingyu shook his head regretfully.


    ¡°If you had more, I would help you make connections.¡±


    ¡°One of the seniors in our Alchemy Department exchanged for a Vermillion Fruit at the end of last year. He wanted to refine a Fire Origin Pill, but because of the poor cultivation of one of the key ingredients by the supplier, the medicinal efficacy didn¡¯t meet the standards, and the Vermillion Fruit is still lying around.¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re willing to trade with Spiritual Extracts, I¡¯m sure he¡¯d be interested.¡±


    After listening to this, Chen Mobai¡¯s tone immediately changed.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a lot, but my teacher has saved quite a bit.¡±


    ¡°Director Che!?¡±


    Everyone knew that Chen Mobai had become a disciple of Che Yucheng.


    Wang Xingyu didn¡¯t doubt it.


    ¡°Brother, can you ask about it first? A Vermillion Fruit can only be stored for one or two years after being picked. I can take over, and he can pass it on¡ªit would be a win-win.¡±


    Chen Mobai made a persuasive argument, and Wang Xingyu immediately made a call.


    Both sides were interested, and the deal was immediately struck.


    Chen Mobai pretended to go to Che Yucheng¡¯s office, then came back with a bag full of Spiritual Extracts and gave it to Wang Xingyu. Holding the bag of Spiritual Extracts, the latter left as a confident middleman.


    Half an hour later, Chen Mobai looked at the Vermillion Fruit that was brought back, feeling very satisfied.


    Now, he wouldn¡¯t run out of medicine.


    He could use the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew till the end of the year. Then, he could exchange for two Vermillion Fruits, which would last for another year.


    However, while he had both key ingredients, he still needed to buy the auxiliary ingredients from the Tianhe Realm.


    Chen Mobai simply didn¡¯t expect to get the Vermillion Fruit so quickly.


    Since he had gone through the experience once and had learned how to identify medicinal herbs this year, he managed to translate all twenty-four auxiliary medicinal names into those of the Tianhe Realm.


    He gave this task to his biggest disciple, Liu Wenbo, who had just solidified his Rank-9 Qi Cultivation and confidently claimed he¡¯d complete the task within three days.


    Soon, Chen Mobai handed over the complete set of two main drugs and twenty-four auxiliary drugs required for Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew to Wang Xingyu.


    On Wang Xingyu¡¯s strong insistence, the reward for alchemy was switched from Good Deed Points to two pieces of Spiritual Extracts.


    Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t trick his good brother. He promptly handed over three pieces of Spiritual Extracts, delighting Wang Xingyu immensely.


    After accomplishing this task, Chen Mobai took a basket of fruits and visited his teacher, Che Yucheng.


    Having spent a long time in the Treasure Trove, he hadn¡¯t attended Puppetry Technique class in a while. Fortunately, the knowledge was already his, so there was no fear of forgetting it.


    Che Yucheng had essentially passed to him all of his Puppetry Technique traditions, leaving only practice and manufacturing exercises for Chen Mobai to work on.


    This is generally how things go on the Immortal Cultivation side.


    After Foundation Establishment, due to the powerful Divine Sense, knowledge could basically be self-taught. The difference lay in whether or not time was spent for focused improvements.


    Chen Mobai felt somewhat remorseful. He was busy honing his spells, but indeed he did not put much heart into Puppetry Technique.


    But Che Yucheng didn¡¯t reproach him. After all, Chen Mobai had just started his Foundation Establishment, with more than two hundred years ahead.


    Typically, Foundation Establishment cultivators would commit time to the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal only when their cultivation level reached a standstill.


    Though Che Yucheng didn¡¯t mention anything, Chen Mobai made a firm decision to practice Puppetry Technique whenever he had a chance.


    ¡°By the way, teacher, I hear there¡¯s a cross-university exchange event in Crimson City at the end of the year?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked about the event he had heard of.


    ¡°Right, are you interested?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t my Pure Yang Scroll stuck in Qi Cultivation Perfection, struggling to seize the chance of Foundation Establishment? I thought I might exchange ideas with talents from other universities to find some inspiration.¡±


    In reality, he wanted to communicate with students from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute, but he couldn¡¯t reveal that he might need to consume lifespan, so Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dare to make his purpose clear.


    ¡°This year¡¯s Crimson City cross-university exchange is a bit different. Our Daoist Academy may send out more senior students.¡±


    ¡°How is it different?¡±


    Chen Mobai was curious.


    ¡°It happens to be the six thousandth anniversary of Crimson City. Heavyweights from the celestial realm would be coming and apart from our Dance Tool Dao Academy, the other three major Daoist Academies might also send people to join the celebration.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai sensed a potentially troublesome situation.


    He figured he might as well give it a miss, after all, he hadn¡¯t gathered all the Tree Fruits. He could wait for the next one.


    ¡°However, since you are interested, I, as your teacher, will surely arrange it for you. Rest assured, our Academy is bound to have a place for you.¡±


    But to his surprise, Che Yucheng misunderstood his intentions thinking he was genuinely seeking opportunities to reach Foundation Establishment and decided to take matters into his own hands.


    At this point, it would be awkward for Chen Mobai to refuse, he would end up slapping his own face.


    He could only grit his teeth and smile at Che Yucheng while expressing his thanks.


    After leaving the office, Chen Mobai, who had inadvertently backfired his own plans, felt somewhat depressed.


    Considering that it had been a while since he caught up with his friends, he invited Ming Yuhua and Yunyang Bing out for a drink.


    Unfortunately, Ming Yuhua didn¡¯t pick up the call.


    After calling Yunyang Bing, he found out that Ming Yuhua had gone into closed-door cultivation for Foundation Establishment.


    Since mastering the Law Body at the threshold, Ming Yuhua had been solely focused on Foundation Establishment. Once he tuned his mental and physical state to its peak, he dove back into the cultivation room.


    Although he knew other people from the Metaphysical Class, Chen Mobai usually communicated more with Wang Xingyu, who was now switched off his phone to concentrate on refining Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew.


    Consequently, Chen Mobai could only go drinking with Yunyang Bing.


    It was a good opportunity to ask about the Array Refining into Body technique.


    He discovered that there were similar Cultivation Techniques in the celestial realm.


    ¡°Look.¡±


    Yunyang Bing showed Chen Mobai his right pinky finger.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The fingernail was black and stood out.


    ¡°You got a manicure?¡±


    ¡°Nonsense. This is the Array Refining into Body. I can only try out the Spirit Gathering Array on this little spot because of my weak cultivation level. Don¡¯t underestimate this small fingernail. It¡¯s capable of enhancing a Rank-1 Spirit Vein to Rank-2.¡±


    Listening to Yunyang Bing, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    There really were all kinds of Cultivation Techniques in the celestial realm.

 Chapter 320 - Chapter 320: Chapter 264: Map of Treasures_1

    Chapter 320: Chapter 264: Map of Treasures_1


    In the history of Immortal Gates, there was a brilliantly talented Rank-5 Array Master who proposed the ultimate conjecture for formations.


    That a person can become a formation, encompassing the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, skys, and seas, omnipresent and all-encompassing.


    However, to refine a formation into the body truly requires a body suited to the formation and a sufficiently strong Divine Sense.


    Yunyang Bing passed the Immortal Gate¡¯s Rank-2 Array Master test, but he only dared to refine a small Spirit Gathering Array on his own thumbnail, just to give a small trial to this path.


    Even so, he barely managed to finish under the guidance of his formation lesson teacher.


    However, it was precisely because he had refined a Spirit Gathering Array into his body, that Yunyang Bing¡¯s attainment on this path began to progress by leaps and bounds. Last year, he even developed a special Spirit Gathering Array that could raise a Rank-3 top-grade Spirit Vein to Rank-4.


    Ming Yuhua was able to condense ten droplets of liquid Pure Yang Spiritual Power during her first Foundation Establishment attempt because she borrowed this array.


    Chen Mobai provided Yunyang Bing with some introductory books, all of which could be borrowed from the library of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Half a month later, he received from Wang Xingyu, who looked ashamed, the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew that had exceeded the Dan Poison standard by 0.6%.


    Wang Xingyu, an honest person, wanted to return the spiritual extract, and compensate for Chen Mobai¡¯s loss, but the latter treated him like a brother and would never accept it.


    ¡°Inviting someone to do alchemy means taking on some risk of failure. Don¡¯t worry about it, after all, I chose you to do the alchemy.¡±


    Chen Mobai comforted the guilt-ridden Wang Xingyu, carrying what was already very pure-quality Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew for the Tianhe realm, he returned to the Treasure Trove.


    He first tried out a droplet.


    The effect of the Spirit Dew was almost indistinguishable from what Qing Nu had previously refined.


    After all, it¡¯s only 0.6% Dan Poison. In Chen Mobai¡¯s view, it can already be considered Danless.


    But after using it, when he exerted the Flame Lighting Technique, he felt a subtle warmth in the eye he had dripped.


    He then dripped it again, this time sending the medicinal effect into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    After the Green Paulownia Seedling received the irrigation of the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, it became more lush and vibrant.


    When the Flame Lighting Technique was applied to the Divine Sense, there was just a warm feeling as usual.


    After confirming that there was no problem with the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew refined by Wang Xingyu, Chen Mobai began to use it with peace of mind.


    Just as the one Qing Nu had refined was almost depleted.


    After half a year of cultivation, the Void Spirit Eye had made great progress.


    Before the Device Nurturing Sphere that Chen MoBai had found when he first entered the Treasure Trove, he floated in the tunnel, with a clear spiritual light emerging from his eyes.


    He could now see the specific shape of the elongated magic artifact that he could only previously see a blurred outline of.


    He had guessed correctly before, it was indeed a flying sword.


    However, it seemed like the flying sword was broken, so it was constantly absorbing the Essence of Iron to repair itself.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye could even clearly see that the wound where the flying sword broke into two parts had already healed halfway.


    But he still couldn¡¯t determine the grade of the flying sword.


    After all, the Device Nurturing Sphere, as one of the masterpieces of the Dance Tools Dao Academy, is an isolated inner and outer world once sealed, almost a complete mini world.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that this flying sword needed to absorb the Essence of Iron from the Red Iron Mine to repair itself, and adopted an open seal, unless Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye reached a high level, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to see even its shape.


    Despite this, Chen Mobai was not discouraged.


    He still steadily cultivated according to his own rhythm, the abundant Fire spiritual power of the Treasure Trove, combined with his now exceptional Fire Spirit Root, enhancing the proficiency of all the Fire Attribute techniques he knew.


    One day, while Chen Mobai was practicing the Bing Fire Divine Thunder Technique, suddenly a strange spiritual power came from the tunnel wall next to him.


    Then a head popped out from within it.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s hand trembled and a crimson flash of lightning suddenly shot out, just like playing whack-a-mole, it fell onto the head that had mysteriously appeared.


    Boom!


    At a critical moment, Chen Mobai remembered that this area was the Immortal Gate and all who could appear in the Treasure Trove were definitely students of the Dance Tools Dao Academy.


    He activated his Divine Sense, shifting the crimson lightning by an inch, and the head also quickly retreated at the same time.


    The Bing Fire Divine Thunder just grazed past his scalp, leaving a deep mark as large as a fist on the tunnel wall.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the tunnel wall was all Red Iron Mine, this lightning could have caused a collapse.


    ¡°Huff.¡±


    The head poked out from the wall again. Chen Mobai saw clearly this time, it was a short-haired, round-faced youth, still sporting a look of near panic on his face.


    ¡°Senior, my Earth Escape Skill disturbed you, I¡¯m sorry, but you didn¡¯t have to go that hard, did you?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The round-faced youth rubbed the bald patch on his scalp, spoke with a relieved expression, and Chen Mobai listened with a look of apology.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, senior. I was practicing a technique, and when I got startled, I couldn¡¯t control it and I shot you with electricity¡­¡±


    The two called each other seniors.


    Chen Mobai did this because he knew that he was the latest Foundation Establishment student in the Dance Tools Dao Academy. Anyone in the Treasure Trove who had reached Foundation Establishment, except for Zhongli Tianyu, had to be older than him.


    The round-faced youth, on the other hand, had sensed the power of the lightning just now, and knew he was absolutely no match for it. He thought Chen Mobai was a True Cultivator who was in the highest grade of Foundation Establishment.

 Chapter 321 - Chapter 321: Chapter 264 Map of Treasures_2

    Chapter 321: Chapter 264 Map of Treasures_2


    After exchanging names, Chen Mobai learned that the man standing before him was Mi Yudao, a student from the 5009th cohort, and was a Rank-8 Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    He specialized in the Earth Escape Technique and was currently one of the teaching assistants in the field of mineral studies.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, everyone from your 5012th cohort has left a deep impression on me.¡±


    Learning that Chen Mobai was only a fifth-grade student, Mi Yudao sighed. He was also surprised by how the incoming generations could surpass the previous ones. But then he said something that surprised Chen Mobai.


    ¡°You¡¯ve also met Zhongli Tianyu?¡±


    ¡°Ah, I happened to accidentally enter the area where he was cultivating last year. I ended up getting a bump on my head due to his Technique of transforming earth into steel.¡±


    Mi Yudao pointed to the bald spot on his head with slight embarrassment. It was the spot where Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s spell had hit him last year, causing a swelling.


    ¡°Senior Brother Mi, using the Earth Escape Technique so recklessly does seem to be inappropriate.¡±


    Chen Mobai said it tactfully.


    Qin Beichen had told him about the rules of the Treasure Trove. If someone had set up an Array Prohibition, other students should not disturb it.


    After all, the place was vast and the tunnels were nearly infinite for all the Foundation Establishment students of the Daoist Academy, so why create conflict in just one place?


    ¡°I was simply following the Student Association¡¯s instructions to find the Device Nurturing Sphere. I didn¡¯t know that you already claimed what¡¯s here. Had I known, I wouldn¡¯t have come¡­¡±


    Mi Yudao murmured, glancing at the white jade sphere embedded in the red iron ore above Chen Mobai¡¯s head. He sighed and shook his head.


    ¡°Oh, so the Student Association can also manage the affairs of the Treasure Trove?¡±


    This was news to Chen Mobai. The Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s Student Association was practically non-existent in their first to sixth years, but it was undoubtedly a major force within the academy.


    As one of the ¡°Top Ten Talented Students¡± of the 5012th cohort, Chen Mobai had received an invitation to join the Student Association.


    However, he was busy acquiring the Foundation Building Pills at that time and didn¡¯t even respond.


    Apart from him, others from the Metaphysical Class such as Ming Yuhua, Wang Xingyu, and Yunyang Bing had also received invitations, but they declined because of their high self-esteem.


    Even individuals with a mild temperament such as Lan Yufan and Lu Zixuan stated that they wouldn¡¯t consider this matter until they established their Foundation.


    ¡°Not exactly. The Student Association has many talented and unique individuals. They compiled the documents left by the previous senior brothers and sisters, combined them with their own exploration results, discoveries, and deductions to create a Map of Treasures.¡±


    ¡°The map indicates over a thousand specific locations of Device Nurturing Spheres in the Treasure Trove. They offered rewards, and they were willing to transfer 5 credit points to anyone who could find a Device Nurturing Sphere outside of the Map of Treasures.¡±


    ¡°Like me, those who help the Student Association improve the information about the Device Nurturing Sphere recorded on the Map of Treasures can also get 1 credit point.¡±


    Mi Yudao didn¡¯t hide anything. He found Chen Mobai here by following the instructions on the Map of Treasures from the Student Association.


    ¡°So, does that mean the Student Association considers this Device Nurturing Sphere as their own?¡±


    Chen Mobai frowned, looking somewhat discontented.


    Although he didn¡¯t need this flying sword much, it was still the only thing he had gained in the past six months. To be told now that this thing had already been marked by someone else, it was hard not to feel somewhat indignant.


    ¡°Not exactly. Opening a Device Nurturing Sphere requires 100 credit points, and even if all the credit points of the students in the Student Association are added together, they can only exchange at most for 10 Device Pieces.¡±


    ¡°The creation of the Map of Treasures has been a task passed down by the Student Association from generation to generation to prevent some Device Nurturing Sphere seals from exceeding their time limit, leading to the degradation of the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid and the decay of the magic artifacts inside.¡±


    ¡°Any member of the Student Association can freely view the information on the Map of Treasures, find the information of the magic artifact they need, and thus greatly save everyone¡¯s time.¡±


    Upon hearing this, there was an expression of sudden enlightenment on Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    He had been wondering before, since the effectiveness of the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid only lasts a hundred years. If some Device Nurturing Spheres were deeply hidden and never discovered by anyone, wouldn¡¯t they decay for nothing?


    Obviously, the upper echelon of the Daoist Academy must have realized this point as well, and thus assigned the Student Association to handle this matter.


    ¡°What about non-members of the Student Association? Can we also view the Map of Treasures?¡±


    ¡°You can, but there is a fee of 2 credit points for the information.¡±


    Having heard Mi Yudao¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai thought about it and felt that he could afford to pay this much in credit points.


    ¡°How do I make the payment?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll take you there.¡±


    Mi Yudao naturally couldn¡¯t use the Earth Escape Technique with Chen Mobai in tow. He exited from the mountainside and led Chen Mobai to fly out of the cave opening.


    They then ascended to a height of about a kilometer and flew into a wide cave entrance with a diameter of nearly thirty meters.


    The two continued onward, and Chen Mobai soon heard the sound of rushing water.


    This was an underground stream; he didn¡¯t expect it to be here.


    Looking at the clear and transparent water before his eyes, and the hollow space across the stream that had been excavated, roughly over two hundred meters wide, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    In that massive hollow space across the stream, there were quite a few stone houses, as well as a square that looked like a market place.


    Chen Mobai followed Mi Yudao across the stream, and saw a ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡±, similar to white jade, hanging at the entrance of many of the stone houses.


    ¡°These are dead seals, so it¡¯s not an issue to take them out. At the end of the year, everyone will place these on the square, choose one to open, and that sight is truly spectacular.¡±


    After hearing Mi Yudao¡¯s words, Chen Mobai imagined a dazzling scene of over a dozen magic artifacts flying out from the white jade spheres, and nodded.


    ¡°If it¡¯s a dead seal, then there¡¯s no way to know what kind of magic artifact is sealed inside. Could there be a decayed magic artifact?¡±


    ¡°There might be, it¡¯s all about luck. Have you heard of stone gambling? This is the highest-end stone gambling in the celestial door.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback, then his face showed realization.


    It can¡¯t be denied, the phrase ¡®stone gambling¡¯ is quite fitting.


    He activated his Void Spirit Eye to look at a dead sealed ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡±, but found it chaotic and completely unreadable.


    He couldn¡¯t help feeling disappointed.


    ¡°Eh, have you also practiced the Art of Spiritual Eyes? Does that mean you can see clearly what¡¯s inside the ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡±?¡±


    Mi Yudao saw the clear luster flashing in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, and his eyes lit up.


    ¡°You could say that, why do you ask?¡±


    ¡°You can exchange the information from that ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯ for school credits at the student association, isn¡¯t that the reason I came here for that 1 school credit?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately remembered what Mi Yudao had said earlier and nodded.


    Fortunately, he had plenty of flying swords and had no interest in broken ones.


    They arrived at a three-story house in the middle of the square. Mi Yudao introduced it as the student association¡¯s location.


    The person on duty inside was a stern-looking young man.


    ¡°Tiansuan, why are you the one on duty?¡±


    It seemed that Mi Yudao recognized the stern young man, and greeted him with familiarity.


    ¡°Get to the point.¡±


    The young man¡¯s last name was Lu, and his first name was Tiansuan, a very domineering name. He and Mi Yudao were from the same class.


    ¡°This is Chen Mobai from the 5012 class, also the youngest True Cultivator of Foundation Establishment in our Daoist Academy¡­¡±


    Mi Yudao, with his mild temper, introduced Chen Mobai to Lu Tiansuan, whose expression didn¡¯t change upon hearing this, as if that was always his face.


    ¡°Checking the Map of Treasures once equals 2 school credits.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and handed over his student ID.


    ¡°The Academy originally doesn¡¯t allow the exchange of school credits between students, but the Map of Treasures is one of the few channels that can conduct school credit transactions.¡±


    While Mi Yudao was talking, Lu Tiansuan deducted the school credits and took out a tablet. He opened a software program with a ¡°treasure¡± icon.


    ¡°State your requirements for the magic artifact as specifically as possible. I¡¯ll help you search.¡±


    Chen Mobai understood, so the Map of Treasures was a search engine, with 2 school credits for one search opportunity.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Turtle Treasure seems to have found a place to shine again.


    ¡°I would prefer a Rank-3, suitable for Fire Essence Cultivators to use as a companion item.¡±


    Unfortunately, he found out too late, he already paid the school credits, and it was too embarrassing for Chen Mobai to change his mind, so he could only state his requirement.


    Upon hearing him, Lu Tiansuan and Mi Yudao both rolled their eyes simultaneously.


    If the Map of Treasures could determine which ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± contained a Rank-3 magic artifact, they wouldn¡¯t just charge you these few school credits.

 Chapter 322 - Chapter 322: Chapter 265: Using the Elixir from the Tree of Life_1

    Chapter 322: Chapter 265: Using the Elixir from the Tree of Life_1


    ¡°Six-yang Divine Fire Mirror, Luminous Fan, Green Flame Band, Red Jade Silks, Brahman Crossbow, Departure Fire Bell, Great Sun Gold Needle.¡±


    Looking at the names and images of the seven magic artifacts displayed on the tablet, Chen Mobai felt that the two credit points were well spent.


    ¡°No one knows for sure how many Rank-3 magic artifacts are in the Treasure Trove, even the Principal doesn¡¯t have a clear idea. The Map of Treasures inherited by our Student Council only lists those that are known for sure to exist.¡±


    Lu Tiansuan took down Chen Mobai¡¯s contact details and sent him a file containing the search results.


    ¡°That means, these seven Rank-3 magical artifacts are definitely somewhere in the Treasure Trove.¡±


    Upon receiving the file, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t hide his excitement.


    He knew that in the Tianhe Realm, even the cheapest Rank-3 magical artifacts would cost tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.


    These artifacts, meant for Golden Core Cultivators, were of high quality and could even serve as embryos for their destined magical treasures, thus their value was immeasurable.


    ¡°We can only confirm that these seven devices were once sealed in the Device Nurturing Sphere and placed into the Treasure Trove. Whether they are still there now, we cannot guarantee that.¡±


    Lu Tiansuan was meticulous, his words watertight and free of loopholes.


    ¡°After all, some students, even if they find something good, would not readily declare it. So, we can only try our best to perfect the information and contents on the Map of Treasures.¡±


    These were the words of Mi Yudao, who usually earned some credit points by updating information on the Map of Treasures.


    ¡°The Device Nurturing Sphere I found earlier likely contains a broken Flying Sword with a gold attribute¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai sold the details about the Device Nurturing Sphere he had discovered to the Student Council. It was worth one credit point, nothing to be sneezed at.


    ¡°Alright, thank you for the information provided.¡±


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s description, Lu Tiansuan, referring to the data maintained by the Student Council from graduates, already had four or five guesses about the origins of this sword.


    Once everything was finished, Mi Yudao left with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Junior, are you interested in partnering with me?¡±


    Being skilled in the Earth Escape Technique, Mi Yudao thought that if he could pair up with Chen Mobai¡¯s Art of Spiritual Eyes, they could both easily earn some credit points.


    After thinking for a while, Chen Mobai found the idea rather reasonable.


    Finding the Device Nurturing Sphere would prove most difficult. After that, using various methods to discover and examine the sealed devices inside was uncomplicated by comparison.


    Perfectly, Mi Yudao had found eight Device Nurturing Spheres unrecorded on the Map of Treasures that year: four dead-seals and four live-seals.


    The four live-sealed ones were also examined by another True Cultivator from the Student Council who cultivated the Art of Spiritual Eyes. He had to share the one credit point fee earned for the information.


    ¡°Since the senior said so, naturally, I am willing. There is no need for any credit points, given that you are the one doing all the hard work.¡±


    Chen Mobai just wanted to broaden his horizon.


    Furthermore, finding a Rank-3 artifact himself would probably take an indeterminate amount of time, it would be more effective relying on Mi Yudao, who was more experienced.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Chen Mobai followed Mi Yudao to a Device Nurturing Sphere hanging at a tunnel entrance.


    Activating his Void Spirit Eye, he saw inside a bell-shaped artifact as though guarding the cave tunnel, absorbing Fire spiritual power.


    Next, they visited three more sites with live-sealed artifacts.


    He saw inside a Pagoda, a Jade Page Book, and a Water Divider Fork.


    ¡°Excellent, excellent. Junior, your Art of Spiritual Eyes is no worse than Vice President Ming. The items you saw are identical.¡±


    After testing Chen Mobai¡¯s mettle, Mi Yudao nodded approvingly.


    He then took Chen Mobai to inspect the remaining four dead-seal Device Nurturing Spheres.


    Despite all his efforts, Chen Mobai was unable to see the shape of the devices inside.


    ¡°In this Device Nurturing Sphere, Vice President Ming saw a square shadow. He suggested it might be a box.¡±


    Pointing to a Device Nurturing Sphere placed in the underground stream, Mi Yudao said something that took Chen Mobai aback.


    Considering this Device Nurturing Sphere was dead-sealed, being able to peer through the seal meant that Vice President Ming¡¯s Art of Spiritual Eyes exceeded his own.


    ¡°Not necessarily so, it¡¯s just that his Art of Spiritual Eyes leans towards the water attribute. So if the sealed device also has a water attribute, he can see a vague image.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s exclamation, Mi Yudao, shaking his head, explained the reason.


    ¡°What about you? What attribute does your Spirit Eye possess?¡±


    ¡°Fire, I guess.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated briefly before offering a hypothetical attribute.


    In fact, the Void Spirit Eye does not lean towards any particular attribute, it is the most popular and adaptable Art of the Spirit Eye in the Immortal Sect.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity. If only it were Gold or Earth attributes.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Wearing a face of regret, Mi Yudao lamented. His True Spirit Root bore dual attributes¡ªGold and Earth. For this reason, he could cultivate the Earth Escape Technique, freely traveling under the earth¡¯s surface.


    This is why he spent so much time in the Treasure Trove, in search of a Rank-3 magic artifact suitable for him.


    However, no Rank-3 magical artifact has been unearthed in the Dance Instrument Daoist Academy for nearly two decades.


    After bidding him farewell, Chen Mobai randomly chose a tunnel entrance, set up an Array Prohibition to claim the area, and perused the data on the seven Rank-3 magical artifacts given to him by Lu Tiansuan.


    Not only were there appraisal reports of the magic artifacts, but there were also biographies of their previous users, and even records of the year they were placed in the Treasure Trove.

 Chapter 323 - Chapter 323: Chapter 265 Using the Tree of Longevity Juice_2

    Chapter 323: Chapter 265 Using the Tree of Longevity Juice_2


    Most unexpectedly, there were even incantations provided for the use of the magic artifacts.


    One could only say that these 2 credits were worth it, or perhaps the intention of the Dance Tool Dao Academy student council was intentionally for them to use more of the Device Nurturing Sphere.


    After all, once the incantation was obtained, there would be this intriguing notion that only an artifact was missing.


    After reading through the presentations of the seven Rank-3 magical artifacts, Chen Mobai was a little restless.


    He took out his Device Piece, eager to open one to test his luck.


    However, in the end, he regained his calmness.


    ¡°As long as I keep practicing the Void Spirit Eye persistently, one-day I will be able to see through the Dead Seal Device.¡±


    With that thought, Chen Mobai droplets of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew on himself again.


    After completing the fire attribute spell practice in the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai was transferred to the Divine Tree Secret Realm to continue practicing the wood attribute spells from the method of Immortality.


    After all the spells of the two systems were practiced, Chen Mobai was about to visit Xiao Nanshan again.


    Looking at the towering Magic Treasure Tree before him, he suddenly remembered that he still had a drop of ¡°Longevity Tree Juice¡±.


    Can this stuff be used to cultivate the Void Spirit Eye?


    Rashly using his own body for experiments is not Chen Mobai¡¯s style.


    So he went to the Book Pavilion of the Divine Wood Sect.


    With his status as a Foundation Establishment elder, he can take three Qi Cultivation Techniques every year for free.


    Last year, he took the Earth Mother Cultivation and two other techniques, whose names he had forgotten, for Zhuo Ming. This year, he had not yet used this privilege, so he could just exchange for a Qi Cultivation Manual of the Taoist body of longevity to take a look.


    After greeting Brother Hu, he found that the Taoist body of longevity does not have a Qi cultivation manual.


    It starts with Foundation Establishment as the prerequisite for cultivation.


    Having no choice, he gave an intermediate grade Spirit Stone and took a hardcover edition.


    Returning to Xiao Nanshan, he first patrolled the 60-acre rice field.


    Under Zhuo Ming¡¯s careful care and the aggregation of earth qi during the practicing of Earth Mother Cultivation, which condenses the Mother Qi of All Things, the Spirit Rice in these spirit fields was thriving, better than what Chen Mobai planted in Small Yang Ridge last year.


    However, this was not because Zhuo Ming¡¯s agricultural knowledge had surpassed him, but because the spirit fields in Small Yang Ridge were only Rank-1, while the 60 acres of spirit fields beneath Xiao Nanshan, after their tilling and fertilizing last year, had already reached Rank-2.


    The ten acres with the most vigorous spiritual energy were planted with Jade Bamboo, preparing for the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s only Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    It looks like there will be a good harvest this year.


    Chen Mobai grabbed a handful of soil, put on his golden-rimmed glasses, and observed the wide range of spiritual energy. Looking at the initially barren spirit field that was now increasingly vibrant, even gathering the spiritual energy of Xiao Nanshan, Chen Mobai was very satisfied with Zhuo Ming¡¯s achievements.


    Going at this rate, perhaps after a few decades, Xiao Nanshan will be upgraded to a Rank-4 Spirit Vein again.


    Speaking of spirit veins, Chen Mobai thought of Yunyang Bing.


    Didn¡¯t this good brother of his have a special spirit gathering array that can enhance spirit veins? Putting one on the mountaintop, at least he could enjoy it first.


    Even if it doesn¡¯t rise to Rank-4, Rank-3 is still very good.


    Chen Mobai was still considering whether to set one up for his two disciples. But after thinking about it, Giant Tree Ridge was not a sect, and Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t lack spiritual energy.


    Moreover, if their realm was hastily elevated, their foundation would be unstable, and it would become a hidden danger when establishing their foundation in the future.


    After all, not everyone was like him, combining the cultivation techniques of the sect and the resources of Tianhe Realm, to forcefully establish their foundation successfully.


    Soon, Zhuo Ming also came by.


    She was followed by those two disciples from the Alchemy Department, who greeted Chen Mobai as soon as they came over.


    ¡°Master, how come you didn¡¯t call me when you came out?¡±


    ¡°In stillness lies motion, you don¡¯t need to worry about me. I¡¯m just taking a look around.¡±


    Chen Mobai scattered the soil in his hand, dusted his hands, turned around and went back to Xiao Nanshan.


    Zhuo Ming, who was about to report on the progress of spiritual wine development, saw her master flying into the sky. She could only shake her head helplessly, leading the two Alchemist Department disciples back to the wine-making workshop.


    At the foot of Xiao Nanshan, Zhuo Ming had built many wooden houses, not only for ordinary people who were tilling and sowing seeds, but also for storing Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine.


    At first Chen Mobai attempted to intervene, but seeing how efficient Zhuo Ming was, he completely hands-off this year.


    After reading about the Daoist Body of Longevity, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    The juice of the Tree of Longevity could affect any part of the body.


    According to the exploration of the ancestors of the Divine Wood Sect, it is the best Body Forging Spirit item in the whole Eastern Wilderness. It not only has no side effects, but also can break away from the shackles of talent and continue to advance if there are enough amounts.


    There are only three realms in the Daoist Body of Longevity: Ageless, Deathless, and Eternal Life.


    The orthodox method of practicing this body training technique requires that all of the 206 bones in the human body should be fused with a drop of Tree of Longevity juice to form an indestructible skeleton. Then the power of the Tree of Longevity juice is permeated from inside to outside, soaking the five viscera and six bowels, muscles and skin, meridians and acu-points, etc.


    This means if you want to cultivate the Spirit Eye, you can start by fusing the bones around the eye socket with the Tree of Longevity juice.


    It is said that the Body Refining Technique is a Cultivation Technique that develops the original power of the human bloodline.


    Some cultivators, who are as normal as Spiritual Root, can awaken their innate Divine Skills by practicing the Body Refining Technique, and step into a broader and easier path.


    However, after reading it, Chen Mobai had no intention of cultivating the Daoist Body of Longevity.


    Because if this method does not have the Tree of Longevity juice, it is almost impossible to achieve it just by Refining Spirit Qi and absorbing Spirit Stone.


    The Divine Wood Sect here uses 206 drops of Tree of Longevity juice to fuse into the bone marrow, and then spread throughout the body through the bones. This is already the most economical method.


    Moreover, this is just the first realm of ¡°Ageless¡±.


    Chen Mobai took out a drop of Tree of Longevity juice and dropped it onto his left eye bone.


    In an instant, he felt a gentle and immense vitality melt into it.


    Operating the Flame Lighting Technique to refine vitality, he manually spread the power of the Tree of Longevity juice to the left eyeball, surrounding blood vessels, muscles, and eye socket skeletal system.


    Chen Mobai multitasked, also operating the method of the Void Spirit Eye, and began to rapidly absorb the vitality of the Tree of Longevity juice.


    After an unknown amount of time, he lifted his head.


    There appeared a halo of blue light around the pupil of his left eye, like a sun¡¯s halo, incredibly mysterious.


    Because the Void Spirit Eye is the most common Spirit Eye method in the immortal sect, there isn¡¯t even a specific realm division. It is only known that it can be improved continuously, so Chen Mobai does not know exactly what level this left eye is after absorbing part of Tree of Longevity juice.


    However, he had a way to verify it.


    After returning to the Treasure Trove, he came to the place where the sealed ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± that Mi Yudao brought him to before was placed.


    It was the branch of the underground dark flow, and this Device Nurturing Sphere was a square box according to them.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes glowed clear, with a mysterious deep green light gleaming in his left eye, as he focused his gaze on the white jade sphere at the bottom of the water.


    Suddenly, he saw a double vision in his eyes.


    In his right eye, he still couldn¡¯t see clearly and there was only the surface glow of white jade.


    But in the vision of his left eye, he had seen through the shell and Spiritual Liquid, and saw a blurred four-sided Magic Artifact occupying most of the space.


    It seems that while the left eye has absorbed some of the effect of Tree of Longevity juice and the Void Spirit Eye has been practiced to a higher level, it still couldn¡¯t completely see through the true face of this sealed Device Nurturing Sphere.


    His left eye¡¯s technique of Spirit Eye should now be almost the same as that of the vice-president of the student council.


    But to be precise, it¡¯s the same level when looking at the Device Nurturing Sphere that seales the Magic Artifact with a water attribute.


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye can see all the attributes of the sealed Device Nurturing Sphere.


    To verify this idea, Chen Mobai went to the other three sealed Device Nurturing Sphere that Mi Yudao had taken him to see.

    However, he only saw through one that sealed a round Magic Artifact, while the other two sealed spheres could see through the shell, but not the specific shape.


    Maybe it¡¯s because they haven¡¯t been sealed for a long time, and the isolation effect of the Spiritual Liquid has not worn too much.


    It seems that more Tree of Longevity juice is needed to continue to enhance the Void Spirit Eye.


    After reading the information, Chen Mobai found that the eye socket had seven bones.


    If he has 6 more drops of Tree of Longevity juice, he should be able to enhance his left eye to the utmost, right?

 Chapter 324 - Chapter 324: Chapter 266: 30 Drops of Tree of Life Juice_1

    Chapter 324: Chapter 266: 30 Drops of Tree of Life Juice_1


    However, in the entire Divine Wood Sect, only Zhou Wangshen possessed the Tree Juice of Immortality.


    Although Chen Mobai only wanted six drops, turning up uninvited was likely to result in embarrassment.


    After all, the more Tree Juice of Immortality one has for cultivating the Immortal Taoist Body, the better. Zhou Wangshen, who wanted to use it all for himself, would probably find it insufficient.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai and Zhou Wangshen were not familiar with each other. They had only met once at Yue Zutao¡¯s place. If he really wanted to buy Tree Juice of Immortality, he might need a significant middleman to help him.


    After thinking it over, among the people he knew, it would be E Yun.


    Both of them were disciples aspiring to become the Sect Leader, so at least they had a higher status than himself.


    However, after thinking about it, Chen Mobai decided to give up the idea.


    These two were clearly vying for the position of Sect Leader. If E Yun owed Zhou Wangshen a favor owing to his request, it would bring even more trouble in the future.


    Besides, if E Yun were unwilling, the good relationship that Chen Mobai currently shared with him might be ruined from then on.


    Chen Mobai could push himself, but he would not force others for his own sake.


    If he didn¡¯t consider the Tree Juice of Immortality that Zhou Wangshen possesses, then there was only one other method.


    Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Chen Mobai looked at the Magic Treasure Tree in front of him, picked up his phone, and downloaded Water Moon Skill, a water attribute Qi Cultivation Technique, from the National Library of the Immortal Gate.


    After three days of hard practice, he upgraded the Water Moon Skill to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Then he injected this newly cultivated water attribute spiritual power into the Magic Treasure Tree.


    As the silver light twinkled, he vanished.


    A quarter of an hour later, holding a black fruit, he reappeared in front of the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Inside the fruit, a drop of shiny, milky white Tree Juice of Immortality appeared on his palm.


    Sure enough, the method was feasible.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai clenched his fist in joy.


    He had received a drop of Tree Juice of Immortality in the Magic Treasure Tree after practicing the Blackwater Cultivation last time. This time, using the same method but with a different Qi Cultivation Technique, he managed to obtain the same result.


    Although there were still many fruits on the Magic Treasure Tree, Chen Mobai deduced that when met with the weak spiritual power of the third or fourth level of Qi Cultivation, the Magic Treasure Tree would only yield low-quality fruit.


    Clearly, within the Magic Treasure Tree, the value of Tree Juice of Immortality was comparable to such heavenly treasures as Green-sun Fire and Tree Fruit, but one would need as much as a gourd full to be efficacious.


    In the face of Chen Mobai, a disciple with weak Cultivation Level, the Magic Treasure Tree algorithmically gave out the least valuable thing in its treasure trove.


    Which was one drop of Tree Juice of Immortality.


    Unfortunately, having wasted three days time, he got one drop of Tree Juice of Immortality after one night practicing Blackwater Cultivation.


    But after figuring out this basic rule, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t dwell on it.


    He took out his phone again, but he didn¡¯t waste points to download from the National Library this time. The downloads there were of complete first to ninth level Qi Cultivation Techniques, and Chen Mobai didn¡¯t need that many.


    He directly found a store on the Immortal Gate Internet that mainly sells Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques wholesale, and spent 50 Good Deed Points to buy a hundred books containing only the first three levels.


    A month later.


    Chen Mobai looked at the full vial of Tree Juice of Immortality and left the Divine Tree Secret Realm satisfied.


    Since he had found the method, the more, the better.


    He immediately opened thirty drops of Tree Juice of Immortality, preparing to refine all the twenty-three bones in his head.


    Time flies the fastest during cultivation.


    In the blink of an eye, half a year went by.


    The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s annual grand competition began as usual.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s Foundation Establishment, he had little interest in these competitions among Qi Cultivators.


    However, this year, his disciple might become a true successor. Moreover, he hadn¡¯t met with friends like Qi Rui and Xi Jinghuo for a long time, so he also came to Divine Wood City to watch.


    ¡°Look quickly, your senior brother is on stage now.¡±


    In the same tavern, Chen Mobai sat by the window. Besides Qi Rui and his other friends, Zhuo Ming was also present.


    Since Zhuo Ming was always eliminated in the first round every year, he didn¡¯t sign up this year.


    Chen Mobai was indifferent to this. As long as he had Liu Wenbo to hold the fort, it was good enough, and it was perfectly fine for this small disciple to farm and brew wine.


    Having reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and fully equipped with Magic Artifacts, Liu Wenbo lived up to expectations and defeated his opponent, advancing to the round prior to becoming a true successor.


    ¡°Greetings sect uncle.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was planning to leave with his two disciples, he ran into two familiar faces at the stairway.


    It was Luo Yixiu and Luo Yixuan who had joined the Divine Wood Sect from Southstream Market with him.


    After leaving Bud Hall, the siblings became disciples of a Foundation Establishment elder from their own family in the Divine Wood Sect.


    Since this elder was the guard of the Lei Nation, the siblings had also left Giant Tree Ridge and had been practicing in Lei Nation ever since.


    Chen Mobai had almost forgotten about them but didn¡¯t expect to run into them here today.

    ¡°It¡¯s rare for old friends to meet. Among us who joined at the same time, it¡¯s quite remarkable that we are all alive in this world.¡±


    Among those disciples who joined the Divine Wood Sect back then, the ones Chen Mobai remembered were his two disciples, the Luo siblings, and Yu Lian.


    ¡°We are not qualified to be the sect uncle¡¯s friends.¡±


    Luo Yixuan, who had blossomed beautifully, looked fresh and charming. She was dressed in an elegant palace-style long skirt, adding to her sophistication. She was as pleasant as ever, being humble in speech.


    On the other hand, Luo Yixiu, who was standing beside her, looked incredulous when he saw Chen Mobai, with a hint of defiance in his eyes.

 Chapter 325 - Chapter 325: Chapter 266: 30 Drops of Elixir Tree Juice_2

    Chapter 325: Chapter 266: 30 Drops of Elixir Tree Juice_2


    Luo Yixiu had always believed that if he hadn¡¯t followed his uncle to Lei Nation from among that group of people back then, he should have become a true disciple two years earlier.


    However, to his surprise, within a span of just five years, the Loose Cultivator whom he had dismissed as insignificant had already successfully reached the Foundation Establishment.


    The severe hierarchical system of the Tianhe Realm and Luo Yixiu¡¯s own pride conflicted. Under Chen Mobai¡¯s teasing gaze and his sister¡¯s continual gestures, in the end, Luo Yixiu had no choice but to bow his head and call Chen Mobai uncle teacher.


    ¡°Are you participating in this year¡¯s sect competition?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked. He had only been following the tournament events of his apprentice and a few friends, spending his usual time busy cultivating the Void Spirit Eye with Tree Juice.


    ¡°We are participating, and fortunately, we haven¡¯t been eliminated yet.¡±


    The answer was still from Luo Yixuan. Chen Mobai nodded, feeling that it was almost time for his cultivation, so he did not continue catching up with them.


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome to visit Xiao Nanshan whenever you have time. You both know Wen Bo and Zhuo Ming.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai let his two apprentices stay and chat with the brother-and-sister duo, and departed directly.


    Luo Yixiu stared at Chen Mobai¡¯s retreating figure, his face full of unwillingness.


    On the other hand, Luo Yixuan had a gentle conversation with Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming, reminiscing about old times.


    In the next round of the competition concerning the true disciples, Chen Mobai made sure to watch the whole procedure.


    Unfortunately, Liu Wenbo met a powerful opponent and was eventually defeated.


    Chen Mobai had been mentally prepared for this eventuality. After comforting his senior apprentice, he turned his attention to the performances of Qi Rui and the others.


    This friend, who had failed to become a true disciple several times, finally had a stroke of luck this year. He did not encounter any formidable opponents and managed to secure a place among the twenty-four true disciples.


    Ironically, Qi Hou and Xi Jinghuo, the pair of senior and junior brothers, both met strong opponents. The former encountered Mu Yuan while the latter met Li Yixian from the Puppet Department, all of them unfortunately defeated.


    The remaining siblings from the Luo family ended their matches in defeat as well, a fact Chen Mobai noted when he cast his eyes their way.


    He looked at Luo Yixuan, who had fallen off the stage, and he pondered.


    This one could be worth investing in.


    ¡­


    Inside the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai opened his eyes. His eyes shone with a clear glint in the dark, exceptionally striking.


    Looking up, he saw the Device Nurturing Sphere buried in the Red Iron Mine above his head as if it were transparent, revealing everything inside it to him.


    He saw the broken Flying Sword inside, every pattern on its surface, and every nick on the blade appearing clearly in his vision.


    Chen Mobai also noticed two small characters engraved on the hilt of the sword.


    Red Copper!


    This must be the name of this Flying Sword.


    Searching online at school, he discovered that more than two hundred years ago, there had been a genius in The Sword Control Department whose Flying Sword bore this name.


    This genius had reached the 9th Realm of Foundation Establishment before he passed away. Unfortunately, his lifespan was not long, and he joined the war for a last-ditch attempt at survival.


    Unfortunately, all that was sent back to the Immortal Gate after he passed was this broken Flying Sword.


    If it was intact, this would be a Rank-2 top-grade Flying Sword, even mightier than the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai felt regret.


    He withdrew the Void Spirit Eye, and according to the description of this Cultivation Technique, he should have reached the intermediate accomplishment stage.


    This was even more profound than what Shi Qujin had reached after a lifetime of cultivation.


    Through this experience, Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding of the advantages he held became even clearer and more profound.


    Within just a half-year period, he had enhanced the Void Spirit Eye to a level beyond what Shi Qujin had achieved in decades of laborious cultivation, all with the help of the Tree Juice.


    He was reliant not on talent, understanding, dedication or hard work.


    It was resources!


    He must maintain this advantage, ensuring that he stays ahead by utilising the resources from the Tianhe Realm and Divine Wood, within the Immortal Gate.


    After firming up his resolve, Chen Mobai turned his attention to the eight Dead Seal Device Spheres Mi Yudao had found.


    The completed Void Spirit Eye allowed him to see the sealed Device Nurturing Spheres as clearly as the lines on his palm.


    Using the vast information in the Map of Treasures, he recognized the bell magic artifact as the Soul Capture; a rank-2, intermediate-grade weapon designed for mental attacks.


    Of course, the most valuable was the pagoda, surprisingly a Rank-2, high-grade defensive artifact. If he couldn¡¯t find a Rank-3 artifact, then Chen Mobai thought he could open this one with a device piece.


    There was no detailed information on the Jade Page Book in the Map of Treasures, but according to the student council¡¯s calculations, it should be a rare Formation Device.


    However, he had no idea which formation was sealed inside, so its grade and value could not be deduced.


    Even his Void Spirit Eye was helpless, the only way to confirm it was to cut it open.


    The Water Divider Fork, on the other hand, was a Rank-2 high-grade, but such a magic artifact required long-term training to use, which Chen Mobai naturally had no interest in.


    After examining the four seals, Chen Mobai viewed the four dead-sealed Device Nurturing Spheres.


    One in the underground undercurrent, he could now clearly make out its contours¡ªit was a box. He tried to peer further into it with his Void Spirit Eye but found it was still chaotic.


    As expected, it seemed a bit difficult to see through the dead seal completely.


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t discouraged, after all, the potency of the Tree Juice he had fused into his skull, although it had fully integrated with his bone marrow, had not yet fully released to permeate both his Spirit Eyes. In time, his Void Spirit Eye would reach a higher level.


    Then he examined the other three.


    The round magic artifact seemed to be a ball. He searched the Map of Treasures and found six similar artifacts, but none were Rank-3, so Chen Mobai didn¡¯t waste his Divine Sense and Spiritual Power.


    The other two were a pot and a flute.


    Chen Mobai found that among Rank-3 magic artifacts, one was shaped like a pot, called the ¡°Saro Pot¡±. It absorbed the fiery energy from the depths of the Treasure Trove and when released, it could transform into a hundred-meter-long fire mist, powerful enough to melt gold and boil stones.


    There were also two flute-shaped Rank-3 artifacts, but Chen Mobai had no interest in the sound path, so he didn¡¯t bother comparing the information in the Map of Treasures.


    But that pot, he¡¯ll have to look at it again in the future when his Void Spirit Eye upgrades to the next level.


    If he could confirm that it¡¯s a Rank-3 Saro Pot, he would definitely choose it.


    After looking through eight Device Nurturing Spheres, Chen Mobai felt a novel sensation. He wanted to go and look at the dead-sealed spheres hanging around the student council¡¯s place, but the moment the thought arose, he felt a heavy sense of fatigue in his head.


    After the enhancement of the Void Spirit Eye, each activation required more Divine Sense and Spiritual Power. As he intensely observed the Device Nurturing Spheres, he was unconsciously drained of over half his Divine Sense.


    He laid down a formation on the spot and meditated to recover. Just as Chen Mobai was about to go to the student council¡¯s place in the Treasure Trove, his phone lit up with a message.


    It was from Che Yucheng.


    He said that arrangements for the Alliance Exchange Meeting at Crimson City Cave were done and asked him to come over to take care of the procedures.


    He almost completely forgot about it.


    Chen Mobai rode his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± out of the Treasure Trove and headed to Building No. 1.


    To his surprise, another familiar face was in Che Yucheng¡¯s office.


    ¡°Long time no see, Professor Bian.¡±


    Upon seeing Chen Mobai, Bian Yiqing smiled and nodded, saying hello.


    He was a music professor, and since Chen Mobai didn¡¯t enroll in any elective courses in that field, it was the first time they had met in Daoist Academy after parting ways in Red Sandstone City five years ago.


    ¡°For Crimson City¡¯s 6000th anniversary, a VIP from Xianwu Hall will be attending. The City Lord of Crimson City invited Professor Bian to arrange for the program, so he took on the responsibility of leading our school as well, saving us the trouble of appointing two people,¡± Che Yucheng quickly explained. Naturally, Chen Mobai¡¯s name was also on the attendance list for the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s celebration.


    ¡°Thanks for your hard work, Professor.¡±


    Having said that, Chen Mobai just stood on the spot.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Since he was the one who brought up the idea of participating, he could only face the music now.


    ¡°Although I¡¯m leading in name, the management of you students will be the responsibility of the student council, and they might contact you later.¡±


    Bian Yiqing mentioned, and Chen Mobai nodded.


    ¡°Alright, you can go now.¡±


    It seemed Che Yucheng still had things to talk about with Bian Yiqing, so he waved his hand to signal that Chen Mobai could leave.

 Chapter 326 - Chapter 326: Chapter 267: Merging with God and Returning to One_1

    Chapter 326: Chapter 267: Merging with God and Returning to One_1


    During the following days, Chen Mobai was waiting for the student council¡¯s contact while continuing to swipe on the Magic Treasure Tree.


    After he got the Longevity Tree Juice from the water attribute cultivation technique, he attempted to see what low guarantee fruits the other four types of spiritual power could produce.


    After constant attempts, gold attribute spiritual power could produce a grain of metal, wood attribute a dried leaf, earth attribute a clump of earth, and fire attribute a spark.


    Among these, the metal was identified to be pure iron.


    Being a Rank-2 material, it is a basic requirement in most magic artifact crafting.


    If refined using alchemical fire, it could even reach Rank-3 quality, and when mixed into a flying sword, it would not only increase its power but also upgrade its rank.


    Unfortunately, the fruit that Chen Mobai grew yielded only grains the size of rice. If he wanted to gather a sufficient quantity of pure iron, he didn¡¯t know how much gold attribute cultivation technique he would need to practice.


    The dried leaf turned out to be a normal Qingyang Spirit Tree leaf, which can be used to make Rank-2 talisman paper.


    The clump of earth was rather peculiar, containing a strong vitality, even surpassing the most vigorous Rank-2 fertile land in Xiao Nanshan, he guessed it could be the spirit soil of a Rank-3 or higher spirit field.


    Regrettably, when spread out it was only a thin layer in his palm, not even enough to plant a flower. Chen Mobai dumped this clump into the pot of his green paulownia seedling that he had been nurturing for several years, and didn¡¯t bother with it anymore.


    Finally, there was the spark which he felt was the most useful.


    At the moment the fruit was produced, this spark flickered, nearly extinguishing.


    Chen Mobai immediately swallowed and absorbed this spark with his own Qingyang Fire Seed.


    Because it was the same source of fire, it easily merged as one.


    This spark was also Qingyang Fire.


    However, compared to his fist-sized fire seed, this spark was merely like a burning matchstick, insignificant.


    But no matter how little, it was still Qingyang Fire.


    After he absorbed it using the Pure Qing Talisman, he felt his Qingyang Fire Seed improved slightly.


    Chen Mobai roughly estimated that if he could absorb another hundred Qingyang Fire sparks, then his fire seed should be able to fully upgrade to ¡°Qingyang Fire¡±.


    You must know, he had refined the Qingyang Fire Seed in the Treasure Trove using the Pure Qing Talisman to absorb the fire spirit energy of Crimson Mountain, it was about equivalent to refining five Qingyang Fire sparks in a year.


    One Qingyang Fire spark could save him more than two months of hard work.


    Looking at the towering Magic Treasure Tree in front of him, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes inexplicably shone.


    This was truly a treasure tree.


    Compared to the Talent Tree which only provides cultivation techniques, the Magic Treasure Tree was a massive treasure trove waiting for him to exploit.


    Regrettably, it was too miserly, only giving one thing at a time.


    With a complaint in his heart, Chen Mobai once again practiced the spell from the Scripture of Longevity, then returned to the Treasure Trove.


    Today was the official end of the term.


    Chen Mobai successfully passed all the course exams with high scores, earned all the credits, plus the ones he scrounged from the Sword Control Department, a total of 48 credits.


    He didn¡¯t have the habit of hoarding. After exchanging for two Vermillion Fruits that he had set his eyes on, he used the remaining 8 credits, plus the 2 leftover credits from previous years, a total of 10 credits to exchange for a Rank-2 ¡°God Returning Pill¡±.


    This was Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s Alchemy Department¡¯s creation, specifically used for healing damage to divine sense.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense was naturally not injured, but he had cultivated the Divine Manipulation Technique, and after a year of continuous use of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, the separate Qingyang seedling that he previously split from his divine sense forming had finally borne fruit.


    This indicated that the second layer ¡°Dividing Mind into Thoughts¡± of Divine Manipulation Technique had been mastered, and he could now attempt the third layer ¡°Unifying Spirit into One¡±.


    Honestly, he had initially estimated that even with Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, it would take two years to reach this step.


    But after blending the Longevity Tree Juice into his 23 skull pieces, he discovered that the efficiency of his divine sense cultivation had greatly increased.


    Even under the bolstering effect of the Lamp Technique, the combination of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew and Longevity Tree Juice produced a magical effect that was greater than the sum of its parts.


    Not only did his Void Spirit Eye improve tremendously, but his divine sense intensity also reached the level suitable for ¡°Unifying Spirit into One¡± within a year.


    He searched the auxiliary cultivation software for the advancement experience of this cultivation technique, among many elixirs recommended by people, ¡°God Returning Pill¡± ranked third. Since the Dance Tool Dao Academy had it in stock, Chen Mobai directly exchanged it with his credits.


    The best two elixirs were ¡°Five Mushrooms Hundred Flower Cream¡± and ¡°Heavenly Fragrant Eight Treasure Pill¡± respectively, both of Rank-3 level.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Among them, ¡°Five Mushrooms Hundred Flower Cream¡± was the signature product of Jumang Daoist Academy and the Imperial Medical Academy. It required five kinds of hundred-year-old spirit mushrooms, plus a hundred different kinds of spirit flower essences. Not only for divine sense, it could even instantly restore any injury to vitality and life force.


    And ¡°Heavenly Fragrant Eight Treasure Pill¡± was a spirit pill specifically for healing divine sense injuries. For any divine sense-related problems below the Core Formation, consuming it would cure the illness and restore peak condition immediately.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy had made some six years ago under the guidance of the head of the Alchemy Department, there were still three in stock now. But when Chen Mobai saw the number of credits needed to exchange, he immediately gave up.


    This thing actually needed 120 credits per pill.


    After finishing the exchange for his credits this year, Chen Mobai promptly handed the two Vermillion Fruits to Wang Xingyu along with the auxiliary ingredients and two additional Bamboo Fruits. Wang Xingyu guaranteed that he could definitely make Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew without Danless Poison this time.

    Chapter 327: Chapter 267: Unity of Spirit_2


    Chen Mobai could only laugh at this. The slight poisoning posed no threat to him, given the aid of the Flame Lighting Technique, it was as if it was nonexistent.


    This year, he naturally didn¡¯t return to Red Sandstone City. After making calls to his parents, grandparents, and other relatives, Chen Mobai set up a ban in a place in the Treasure Trove, then teleported to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    In this world where he was the only one, Chen Mobai sat under the towering Magic Treasure Tree and took the ¡°God Returning Pill¡±.


    Three days later, he opened his eyes, a hint of regret flashing in them.


    The ¡°God Returning Pill¡± indeed had a good effect, but it was a pity that it was not potent enough to completely fuse his two divided divine senses together.


    If he had one more pill, he would surely succeed.


    But even so, he had already fused a large part.


    After using the power of the God Returning Pill to begin, the rest was down to painstaking work.


    The difficulties in performing the Divine Manipulation Technique were a bit beyond his expectations, but the effects were amazingly surprising.


    His Divine Sense has grown by 1.6 times. Using the ¡°Searching Heaven Searching Earth Method¡± he gained from the Talent Tree, he could cover a radius of twenty meters from the previous twelve meters after his Divine Sense went out of his body.


    If he could completely fuse it, he felt he should be able to reach thirty meters.


    Chen Mobai began to look forward to that day.


    Because after he completed the first fusion of his divine senses, he could start practicing ¡°Divine Slash¡±.


    This move was a killer against those whose realm was inferior to his own.


    It was after his return from the Treasure Trove, after a habitual glance at his mobile phone, that a flash of joy suddenly appeared on his face.


    Ming Yuhua has succeeded in his Foundation Establishment.


    His good brother had spent nearly the entire year in seclusion. Under various favourable conditions, he finally emerged victoriously at the end of the year.


    Being the second person in the Metaphysical Class to successfully establish a foundation, he was even more excited than Chen Mobai. When treated to drinks, he was generous and high-spirited, full of inspiration, almost to the point of announcing it across all the teaching buildings of the Daoist Academy.


    This year four more persons achieved insight into boundary magic spells in the Metaphysical Class: Gong Ranran, Li Zimo, Fan Yuanpu, Jin Shuwei.


    Daring to practice the Divine Transformation Technique, except for Chen Mobai who had loopholes, the rest were exceptionally talented and had extraordinary confidence in themselves. Being able to comprehend boundary magic spells in the fifth grade was above average within the Daoist Academy.


    They pledged on-the-spot to practice in seclusion upon returning and said they would not drink next year¡¯s New Year¡¯s wine if they had not established their foundations.


    Last year¡¯s other successful practiser of the boundary magic spell, Lan Yufan, sat in the corner, quietly drinking without a word. If not for Ming Yuhua¡¯s success, he could still be calm, but now he was a bit anxious.


    He glanced at his girlfriend, Lu Zixuan, and felt that dating might have affected his cultivation progress.


    At this point, the exultant Ming Yuhua floated off the ground and began to fly slowly, displaying the unique flying technique of the Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    In the end, his classmates couldn¡¯t take it anymore, they pulled him down and took turns toasting him, directly to the point of making him drunk.


    This semester, other than Ming Yuhua, one more student from the class of 5012 also successfully established their foundation.


    However, that person was not part of the Metaphysical Class group.


    That one is Zha Jianbai from the Sword Control Department, a true Sword Cultivation Genius, who is extremely dedicated to cultivation.


    After serving as a teaching assistant for a year, his foundation was perfection. With a sword in his arms for seven days in the school field, the moment he opened his eyes, his pupils were like meteors, indicating his successful Foundation Establishment.


    Following the end of the year small gathering of the Metaphysical Class, Chen Mobai returned to his own cabin outside the school, rarely allowing himself a day of relaxation.


    That night, while reading a book on the Underworld Array, a clear voice as refreshing as spring water suddenly resonated from above, sweet as honey, delicate and sublime.


    Chen Mobai closed his eyes, indulging in the enchanting melody.


    To think that since joining the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he and Meng Huang have been neighbors for five years, yet it was the first time he had indulged in the celestial-like clear voice of this superstar.


    He had to admit, the voice of a music prodigy who was recognized and trained by the immortal world to master the Shocking God Sonata was truly enthralling and extremely comforting.


    After a long while, the clear notes dissipated from his ears, Chen Mobai opened his eyes, feeling an unprecedented lightness and contentment in his Divine Sense.


    His face was filled with joy.


    In the interlude of this musical aria, the third layer of the Divine Manipulation Technique, ¡°Blending Divine into One¡±, had actually made some progress.


    If he could listen to it a few more times, he might reach Perfection directly.


    Unconsciously, Chen Mobai was reminded of the dream he had when he first saw the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe¡¯s performance.


    [Listen to Meng Huang sing for him every day.]


    Five years ago, when he rented this wooden house, besides the fact that it was secluded, part of it was this desire.


    Unfortunately, in these five years, he had been busy cultivating during the Qi Cultivation phase, busy gathering Foundation Building Pills. After the Foundation Establishment Stage, he was busy gathering resources to cultivate various spells. Only today, he had barely made a start on this dream.


    Chen Mobai took out his cell phone. He had run into Meng Huang once after his Foundation Establishment, and she had taken the initiative to add him as a friend.


    [Meng, elder sister, your ¡®Linjiang Immortal¡¯ sounds really good.]


    He tentatively sent a compliment in a message.


    However, after two minutes, there was no response.


    Just as Chen Mobai was thinking that this star might not have seen it, the sound of an incoming message rang out.


    [Thank you. Are you at the bottom of the mountain?]


    [Yes, I am. Today, my good friend successfully established his foundation. We had a drink to celebrate, so I did not plan to return to the Treasure Trove for cultivation. I am staying here for the night.]


    When chatting with women, Chen Mobai had an instinctive talent. Soon, the two of them started chatting back and forth for half an hour.


    Meng Huang expressed her envy towards their younger schoolmates who have successively built their foundations. As a seventh-year senior, she has not yet grasped the Threshold Technique, hesitant to take that step forward.


    Chen Mobai immediately comforted her that it was only a matter of time given her talent.


    Then, he wanted to share his own experience and tips for understanding the Threshold Technique. But he realized that he had no insights since he had understood it while under the influence of a potion.


    Well then, switch topics.


    Chen Mobai talked about recently running into Meng Huang¡¯s teacher, Bian Yiqing, in Che Yucheng¡¯s office. The teacher is responsible for leading this year¡¯s students from the Dance Tool Dao Academy to participate in the University Alliance Exchange in Crimson City. He was fortunate to be part of the team.


    [I will be performing on stage during the Millennial Celebration and also on the Dao Academy¡¯s list, so we are teammates, I guess.]


    The topic switch was very successful, Meng Huang immediately started talking about her hardships in daily rehearsals and tours.


    When she first enrolled, she was not proficient in Qi Cultivation, so she was distracted. She had to balance her classwork, cultivation, and touring all over the country to open her spirit. She failed two elective courses and was laughed at by her peers for a long time.


    Once the topic was opened, Meng Huang became an automatic chatterbox, no longer sending text messages, but directly sending big chunks of voice messages.


    Chen Mobai clicked it open and listened to her clear, unique voice. A satisfied expression appeared on his face.


    Early the next morning, he was planning to visit his neighbor on the mountain after five years, to ask about Meng Huang¡¯s singing and vocal practice habits, preparing to camp regularly in the future.


    However, before he had left his door, a red spiritual light descended from the sky.


    This small wooden house had never been visited by a Cultivator who had accomplished Foundation Establishment before. Early in the morning, Chen Mobai almost thought he was back in Xiao Nanshan.

    Upon closer look, he realized it was Ming Yuhua.


    After the effects of the alcohol wore off, he directly came over, saying he wanted to go to the Treasure Trove.


    Unlike Chen Mobai, who had accumulated over 100 credits in the Dao Academy over the past five years and met the conditions.


    However, since his mentor, Qin Beichen, was currently in seclusion, Ming Yuhua had no choice but to come to Chen Mobai, a ¡°Senior Brother¡± who had been stationed in Treasure Trove for a year.


    Since his good friend rarely needed him, Chen Mobai had to give up visiting his neighbor with a heavy heart and took him to get familiar with the Treasure Trove.

 Chapter 328 - Chapter 328: Chapter 268: Mysterious Yang Cauldron_1

    Chapter 328: Chapter 268: Mysterious Yang Cauldron_1


    It¡¯s indeed a coincidence that Ming Yuhua¡¯s Foundation Establishment took place at a perfect time.


    It happened exactly at the end of a semester, senior students at the Treasure Trove who had worked hard for a year on their Foundation Establishment would typically open their ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± at this time every year.


    However, Ming Yuhua¡¯s luck wasn¡¯t great.


    Because Master Shaoyang was in seclusion, no one took him to the deeper part of the Treasure Trove to get the highest authority device piece meant for new Foundation Establishers from Duanmu Longrong.


    But as an Artifact Refiner, Ming Yuhua was extremely attracted to the Device Nurturing Sphere after hearing about it from Chen Mobai.


    Although he was quite disappointed he didn¡¯t have the device piece, just being able to come and have a look was already very fortunate for him.


    ¡°You¡¯re too slow.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who had been waiting at the entrance of the tunnel, complained as he watched Ming Yuhua leisurely descend from the sky.


    He could have descended using Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± but Ming Yuhua, who had just established his foundation and had not had enough fun flying, insisted on flying himself, wasting quite a lot of time.


    Ming Yuhua, who underestimated the height of the Treasure Trove, arrived there with a rather pale face.


    ¡°How was I supposed to know flying consumes so much spiritual power?¡±


    After landing in the tunnel, Ming Yuhua sat down, caught his breath and immediately began condensing the dense fire spiritual power around him.


    All Chen Mobai could do was wait with a helpless expression, but it also provided a good opportunity for him to observe the circumstances of Foundation Establishment through the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Although he couldn¡¯t directly observe it with the Void Spirit Eye, he gained a lot by watching the spiritual energy around him rush into Ming Yuhua¡¯s seven orifices.


    Actually, Chen Mobai had long accumulated enough Pure Yang Spiritual Power. If he chose to directly establish his foundation, he was 99 percent sure he could succeed.


    However, waiting for the perfect opportunity to establish his foundation after hearing the Dao, he held himself back.


    This time, observing the operation of Ming Yuhua¡¯s Pure Yang Scroll during his Foundation Establishment, comparing with his own comprehension, he seemed to have a hint of an idea.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Half an hour later, Ming Yuhua, who had recovered most of his spiritual power, was full of energy and stood up.


    Chen Mobai led him through the tunnel, bypassed the underground undercurrents, and quickly reached the underground cavern plaza where the student union was located.


    Compared to usual, today there were about 60 to 70 people, all of them true cultivators who had established their foundation.


    Quite a few people had set up stalls and were presenting their Device Nurturing Spheres with dead seals.


    Chen Mobai spotted someone familiar, it was Qu Hongyu, a senior who had been in charge of reception when he first enrolled.


    If he remembered correctly, she should have graduated, right?


    ¡°Senior Sister, what a coincidence.¡±


    Of course, he had to greet her after encountering her. Qu Hongyu also recognized Chen Mobai and responded with hearty cheerfulness.


    ¡°It¡¯s you, I really didn¡¯t expect the first one to establish foundation from your grade would be you.¡±


    ¡°Senior sister is mistaken, Zhongli Tianyu is the first one.¡±


    Chen Mobai was still rather modest. Compared to Zhongli Tianyu, who broke through as if drinking water after enrollment, he was merely an ordinary person.


    ¡°You¡¯re as modest as ever. By the way, both of you are new Foundation Establishers. You should have the device piece, right? I know of two active sealed Device Nurturing Spheres. Interested?¡±


    Qu Hongyu established her foundation in her junior year and applied for a delay in graduation after succeeding. Now, she was an assistant teacher for the spirit flower cultivation course under the Spiritual Plant Department.


    For real cultivators who established their foundation, aside from teaching, they had loads of time. And since the Spiritual Energy in the Treasure Trove was dense, most of their cultivation time was spent here.


    Upon finding two active sealed Device Nurturing Spheres, Qu Hongyu didn¡¯t have enough school credits, so she came over to see if anyone needed it.


    She wasn¡¯t there to trade Device Nurturing Spheres.


    After all, the device piece was the most important thing. So here in the Treasure Trove, if you accept other people¡¯s information and extract something good, you need to transfer a sum of Good Deed Points as information fee afterwards.


    If the item extracted is ordinary, or of the lowest, lower-grade Rank-2, or a fragment then, they¡¯d just have to accept the bad luck.


    Generally speaking, if you extract a mid-grade Rank-2 Magic Artifact, you have to transfer a symbolic 10,000 Good Deed Points as information fee.


    Extracting a high-grade Rank-2 undamaged Magic Artifact, the information fee is 100,000 Good Deed Points.


    And if a Rank-3 Magic Artifact is extracted, this information fee can be as high as millions.


    However, it has been nearly twenty years since a Rank-3 Magic Artifact was extracted in the Treasure Trove.


    Active sealed Device Nurturing Spheres can¡¯t be moved, so the person providing the information needs to take you there. Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua were both interested, but they haven¡¯t finished browsing the stalls in the plaza. So they agreed to go have a look when they had time in the next few days.


    ¡°The student council seems to be opening a dead sealed Device Nurturing Sphere at noon. Don¡¯t miss it.¡±


    After Qu Hongyu added the contact information of the two junior students who had established their foundation, she shared a piece of news.


    Chen Mobai took Ming Yuhua around the dead seal Device Nurturing Spheres at the stalls again. This thing was much simpler compared to the active seals.


    If you like what you see and the two sides can agree on terms, it can be directly transferred, and no information fee needs to be transferred afterwards no matter what is extracted.


    Although Device Nurturing Spheres were technically property of the Dance Tool Dao Academy before they were opened, students painstakingly digging them out from various parts of the Treasure Trove, charging a hard-work fee has become the default.

    Chen Mobai stopped at another familiar stall.


    ¡°Huh? Is he also a junior?¡±


    Mi Yudao looked at Ming Yuhua, asking curiously.


    ¡°Correct, my good brother here happens to be the leading figure of our year¡¯s Refining Implement Department.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, introducing Ming Yuhua. The latter, when in front of strangers, was not unassuming and introduced himself modestly.

 Chapter 329 - Chapter 329: Chapter 268: Mysterious Yang Cauldron_2

    Chapter 329: Chapter 268: Mysterious Yang Cauldron_2


    ¡°Interested? I¡¯ve got four Dead Seal Device Nurturing Spheres here.¡±


    Mi Yudao pointed to the spheres on his stall, signalling Ming Yuhua to reach out and have a feel of them.


    As for Chen Mobai, he had already seen everything. However, as Ming Yuhua curiously picked up one of the Device Nurturing Spheres, Mi Yudao claimed that he had found another functioning Sphere sealed under a Fire Spirit Tree in the last six months.


    ¡°Oh? There are spirit plants in this Treasure Trove?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai became quite curious.


    His current major cultivation technique, the Wood Technique for eternal life, would greatly benefit from a wood attribute magic artefact of Rank-3.


    ¡°The Treasure Trove is the most powerful fire spirit vein of the Immortal Realm. Apart from the Vermillion Fruit Tree, only this Fire Spirit Tree can survive here. However, this tree bears no fruit and is only able to detoxify fire poison. Based on its location under the root system of the tree, I suspect the magic artefact is not of the wood attribute, but of the fire attribute.¡±


    Mi Yudao, drawing on his experience, made a guess that diverged from Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    ¡°Sounds reasonable.¡±


    Ming Yuhua, standing by, gave his verdict, agreeing with Mi Yudao.


    He was a Rank-2 artifact refiner and treasure appraiser. If it weren¡¯t for his focus on Foundation Establishment this year, he¡¯d be preparing for his Rank-3 examination.


    Chen Mobai trusted in his good friend¡¯s professional competence.


    With the possibility of a fire attribute, Chen Mobai¡¯s interest was well and truly piqued.


    ¡°Did you get anyone to look at it?¡±


    ¡°With you here, why would I need to find anyone else?¡±


    Mi Yudao shook his head¡ªhaving Chen Mobai look at things with his Spirit Eye saved him a credit.


    ¡°After today¡¯s dead-sealed sphere is opened, let¡¯s go and have a look.¡±


    Once they made their agreement, Chen Mobai, accompanied by Ming Yuhua, began browsing through other dead-sealed spheres at other stalls.


    The prices varied wildly, from low to high, a complete mess.


    These were all cultivated by students after all, and the student council seemed too lazy to manage such things. Thus, the highest asking price was an outrageous 800,000 Good Deed Points, whilst the lowest was merely 10,000.


    Chen Mobai picked up the sphere with the highest asking price of 800,000 while wearing his glasses that blocked the Spiritual Light emitted by his Void Spirit Eye.


    Compared to the rest, this sphere was peculiar. It seemed that due to the large volume of the sealed magic artefact inside, one could vaguely make out its general shape through the surface of the white jade shell.


    ¡°Looks like a furnace.¡±


    Ming Yuhua examined it for a while before hesitantly making a comment.


    Chen Mobai nodded. Through his Void Spirit Eye, he easily saw through the dead-sealed sphere to the artefact within¡ªa tripod-shaped magic furnace.


    ¡°A furnace¡± has always been one of the most popular shapes for magic artefacts.


    It can be used for alchemy, artifact refining, defense, and attack. Occasionally it can also act as the Array Eye when laying out arrays. It¡¯s considered an all-purpose magic artifact shape.


    Ming Yuhua owns a lower-grade furnace-shaped Rank-2 artifact, his work when he passed the Rank-2 artifact refiner examination.


    ¡°I want 800,000 Good Deed Points for this dead-sealed sphere. It could possibly yield a Rank-3 Flame Dragon Cauldron, hence the hefty price tag.¡±


    The one who spoke was a slightly yellow-skinned youth who had unshakeable confidence in his sphere.


    ¡°That¡¯s too expensive. There are dozens of furnaces in the Treasure Trove. The sealing force of this particular dead-sealed sphere might have weakened over time, and the nurturing spiritual liquid within it started to lose its effect, hence the exposure of the artefact¡¯s power.¡±


    Chen Mobai began to haggle immediately, having gained expertise from previous Fang Market dealings. His swift repartee left Ming Yuhua astounded.


    ¡°Humph, the price is set at 800,000. If you¡¯re not buying then others will. At least I can guarantee that a furnace can be opened from my dead-sealed sphere.¡±


    The yellow-skinned youth was hot-tempered. Two other true cultivators of the Foundation Establishment stage were also interested in the most expensive dead-sealed sphere in the plaza, and looked impatient to negotiate.


    ¡°Why not just say it¡¯s a Rank-4 True Dragon Ding.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head. The moment he touched the sphere, he felt a unique warmth different from other device nurturing spheres¡ªa warmth that exuded from the magical device that even the seal couldn¡¯t contain.


    ¡°Senior, I just established my foundation this year, and I¡¯m about to open a ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯. This one you have is not bad, why not give it to me?¡±


    Ming Yuhua playfully made a statement that almost made the pale-looking young man turn red.


    Compared to other people who use 100 credits to exchange for device pieces, the newcomers who have established their foundation, like Duanmu Longrong who initiated the ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯, have the highest authority in the Treasure Trove and can open any Sphere in there.


    So basically, unless the fair-skinned young man also takes out a device piece and decides to open this special ¡®Dead Seal Device¡¯ sphere himself, the newcomer at the foundation establishment stage can directly acquire the ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯.


    After all, all the ¡®Device Nurturing Spheres¡¯ in the entire Treasure Trove belong to the Daoist Academy.


    Originally, selling ¡®Dead Seal Devices¡¯ spheres in this place was just because the academy couldn¡¯t be bothered.


    Ming Yuhua learned about this during his conversation with Mi Yudao earlier. So, upon seeing the fair-skinned young man charging such a high price and maintaining a bad attitude, he deliberately made such a remark.


    ¡°Kind brothers, it wasn¡¯t easy for me to make a bit of Good Deed Points, please, could you both let me be?¡±


    Only at this moment did the fair-skinned young man realize that Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua were very unfamiliar, and they were seeing each other for the first time here. He was pretty sure they were indeed newcomers at the foundation establishment stage and immediately started pleading pitifully with a wry smile.


    ¡°With a price of one million Good Deed Points, I feel like you might want to keep it and open it yourself.¡±


    Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua could have used the academy¡¯s rules to forcibly open the ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯, but doing so might result in being boycotted by many established students. Hence, they were only safe to make such a statement, with no action behind their words.


    They put down the ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯ that had sealed the furnace-shaped magic artifact and started browsing other stalls.


    ¡°I feel that the ¡®ding¡¯ could be a good thing.¡±


    After they had walked a distance, Ming Yuhua confided to Chen Mobai, who was slightly surprised, thinking that the former had spotted something he wasn¡¯t aware of.


    ¡°I established my foundation with the ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯. The moment I touched it, I felt warmth in my arm, and my Pure Yang Spiritual Power even became slightly more active. It might be a fire attribute magic artifact that¡¯s very suitable for our lineage.¡±


    ¡°Do you plan on opening it?¡±


    ¡°I intend to, but isn¡¯t Senior Shao Yang in seclusion now? I haven¡¯t got my device piece yet.¡±


    After Ming Yuhua finished speaking, Chen Mobai remained silent for a while, then led him straight to the three-story building of the Student Council.


    The person standing guard there wasn¡¯t the familiar Lu Tiansuan, but another fair-skinned boy with squinted eyes and a smiling face.


    Chen Mobai had brought Ming Yuhua here, naturally intending to use the ¡®Map of Treasures¡¯


    ¡°I can see with the ¡®Void Spirit Eye¡¯ that the ding looks like this. If you want to open it, it¡¯s best to first search it in the ¡®Map of Treasures¡¯.¡±


    Since Ming Yuhua had such an idea, Chen Mobai would surely assist with all his might.


    The search fee of two credits was definitely something Ming Yuhua could afford. They watched as the ¡®Map of Treasures¡¯ searched out for all the ¡®ding¡¯ shaped magic artifacts, and deciphered them one by one. Chen Mobai finally settled upon a Rank-2, high-grade magic artifact, the ¡®Mysterious Yang Cauldron¡¯.


    Upon searching, they discovered that the previous owner of this artifact was also a cultivator of the ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯, and even a master who had cultivated to the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment.


    Unfortunately, they ultimately stagnated at the ¡®Pure Yang Daoist Body¡¯, and failed to reach the Core Formation stage, even until the end of their lifespan.


    No wonder Ming Yuhua¡¯s Pure Yang Spiritual Power reacted when he touched it.


    After understanding this, both of them seemed relieved.


    The Rank-2 high-grade artifact was very good. In recent years, when no Rank-3 artifact had been opened, Ming Yuhua would, for sure, be willing to open it with his own device piece.


    However, he is somewhat unwilling to spend an additional million Good Deed Points.


    Although he could use the rules of the academy to forcibly open it, he preferred to negotiate if it was possible.

    When they were about to leave, the squint-eyed boy from the Student Council stopped them.


    ¡°Are you two the newcomers at the Foundation Establishment level this year?¡±


    ¡°Yes, we are.¡±


    ¡°I like the ¡®Mysterious Yang Cauldron¡¯. What about letting me have it?¡±


    Hearing his words, Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua both frowned.

 Chapter 330 - Chapter 330: Chapter 269: Cyan Treasure Pot_1

    Chapter 330: Chapter 269: Cyan Treasure Pot_1


    ¡°Senior Brother, taking things that others enjoy is not a gentleman¡¯s behavior.¡±


    Chen Mobai has experienced a lot and has a knack for polite speech. Ming Yuhua, who had intended to retort, chose to keep her mouth shut when he spoke.


    ¡°Two younger brothers, I am about to participate in the millennium celebration of the Crimson Mountain Sanctuary. At that time, I will compete with the Foundation Establishment cultivators from other Dao Academy schools. If I have this Mysterious Yang Cauldron, I can bring glory to our Dance Tool Dao Academy. If you could give it to me, it would be a contribution to our academy.¡±


    At these words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but give a cold laugh.


    ¡°Senior Brother, it is always better to have some shame.¡±


    Ming Yuhua began speaking sarcastically, causing the young man with squinted eyes to flash a momentary look of embarrassment and annoyance.


    Chen Mobai chose to ignore him further and directly left the student council.


    ¡°That is a pity, my device piece hadn¡¯t yet come into my possession, maybe in an instant, this Mysterious Yang Cauldron will be confiscated by this guy.¡±


    Once they had left the Western-style building, a hopeless Ming Yuhua sighed sorrowfully.


    ¡°You can also fork out 800,000 Good Deed Points first, which could land you that Dead Seal Device Nurturing Sphere.¡±


    ¡°Forget it, if I win, it¡¯s my fate, if I lose, it¡¯s my fortune. Without the Mysterious Yang Cauldron, I might find a better Magic Artifact, let¡¯s just leave it at that.¡±


    Neither was Ming Yuhua willing to part with that many Good Deed Points, nor was he willing to owe a favor to folks of the student council, it was just in his nature.


    Chen Mobai too was aware, so the two walked around the stalls in the square once again.


    Through the cover of his black-rimmed glasses, he utilized the Void Spirit Eye and thoroughly scrutinized all the Dead Seal Device Nurturing Spheres, memorizing all discernable outlines and details in his mind.


    Planning to cross-check the information in the Map of Treasures at a chance later in the night, to see if he could snatch up a Rank-3 Magic Artifact.


    Time quickly approached noon, and the two met up with Mi Yudao at a chosen location to sit down and take a break.


    ¡°The person you guys encountered should be Yuan Jinjun, among the student council he¡¯s the most unprincipled, though his talent for cultivation is astonishing, he is one of the few top hand Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡°Exactly what level is this expert at?¡±


    As for the worthiness of the expert powerhouse here at the fairy gate, Chen Mobai expressed much skepticism.


    ¡°Foundation Establishment Fourth Stage, anyone who can cultivate to this stage before graduation is among the top of the top.¡±


    Despite his disdain for Yuan Jinjun, the respect in Mi Yudao¡¯s voice for his cultivation level was quite significant.


    ¡°Foundation Establishment Fourth Stage? Who within the Daoist Academy students holds the highest realm?¡±


    Upon listening, Chen Mobai eased up, kept silent; however, Ming Yuhua, was interested and began to inquire.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t count those who have applied for an extension for graduation, the highest cultivation level is naturally the student council president Zuo Qiushi, who is at the Foundation Establishment Seventh Stage.¡±


    At this point, there was a look of admiration on Mi Yudao¡¯s face.


    ¡°Foundation Establishment Seventh Stage? What grade is he? If he hasn¡¯t graduated yet, then he isn¡¯t even 30 years old yet?¡±


    In the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the usual age for a freshman starting school is around 20 years old.


    A decade of university, and being able to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Stage before graduation, the talent that this mirrors is terrifyingly fabulous.


    ¡°President Zuo Qiu happens to be a tenth grader, and he was already at Foundation Establishment Second Stage when he started school.¡±


    In other words, in ten years at the Daoist Academy, he broke through five stages, averaging one minor realm every two years.


    Just that, not as good as Zhongli Tianyu.¡±


    Such thoughts ran in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind, while Ming Yuhua listened in awe.


    ¡°So, the president also practices the divine method of Divinity Transformation?¡±


    ¡°Of course, if it wasn¡¯t for Cultivating Participating Together along with the objects to be used that were prepared in advanced, who could cultivate so quickly?¡±


    Mi Yudao nodded, though still, Zuo Qiushi managing to cultivate to Foundation Establishment Seventh Stage before graduation has been the most remarkable talent in the Dance Tool Dao Academy in the past 30 years.


    ¡°What is Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s current realm?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly asked. For this elusive legendary figure from the 5012 batch, he always had an inexplicable expectancy. This person had only shown himself once at enrollment and then, he was heard of, but not seen.


    The only news he received was the shocking message that he was breaking a realm every year.


    ¡°From the last time he demonstrated his technique ¡®Transform soil into firmness,¡¯ one could ascertain he should be at Foundation Establishment Fourth Stage.¡±


    Even Mi Yudao didn¡¯t dare to confirm and was very cautious with his words.


    The reason why the 5012 batch is greatly valued by most of the seniors and senoritas in Dance Tool Dao Academy is that they have Zhongli Tianyu, a genius who exceeds all norms, amongst them.


    He is the next Zuo Qiushi.


    ¡°Are there only ones at Foundation Establishment Seventh Stage in the Academy?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked another question, after two battles, he now understood that only an existence in the latter stages of the Foundation Establishment could pose a threat to him.


    ¡°There are two more. They are senior brothers and sisters who have extended their graduation. However, they have not shown their faces for several years.¡±

    Although Mi Yudao¡¯s cultivation level wasn¡¯t advanced, his understanding regarding the setup of true Foundation Establishment cultivators within the Daoist Academy was on his fingertips. This allowed Chen Mobai to get a rough idea of the current composition of personnel in the Crimson Mountain after the Q&A session.


    Totaling all ten grades of students, and the repeating students who applied to extend graduation, there were about six to seven hundred people.


    Among them, half were at the Foundation Establishment stage and the rest at Qi Cultivation stage.


    ¡°Our Dance Tool Dao Academy, the average time to reach Foundation Establishment stage is midway through the seventh year, and I just happen to be average.¡±


    ¡°Both of you, one made Foundation Establishment in the fourth year, the other in the fifth year. You have far exceeded the average line. Even in the Treasure Trove, you are considered geniuses. As for those who were already establishing their foundation when they started school like Zuo Qiu and Zhongli Tianyu, we usually call them ¡®monsters¡¯.¡±

 Chapter 331 - Chapter 331: Chapter 269: Cyan Treasure Pot_2

    Chapter 331: Chapter 269: Cyan Treasure Pot_2


    ¡°Most of the senior brothers and sisters who have deferred their graduation have become teaching assistants. There¡¯s also a small group who secluded themselves here in the Treasure Trove, waiting to reach Perfection in the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and then use the accumulated credits to exchange for a ¡®Fire Gold Core Pill¡¯ from the Daoist Academy, so they rarely come out on normal days,¡±


    After Mi Yudao finished speaking, he was filled with emotion. This would be his future life.


    Although he has already successfully established his foundation, and could even be considered a local hero if he returned to his hometown, if he wanted to form his core, his best chance would be at the academy.


    The ¡°Fire Gold Core Pill¡± is a unique Rank-4 pill coined by the Alchemy Department on the Dance Tool Dao Academy side, which can increase the success rate of a cultivator who practices fire attribute cultivation techniques by 10% when forming his core.


    For Foundation Establishment Practitioners with other attributes, the effect of this pill would be discounted by half.


    Although Mi Yudao was not of the fire attribute, as long as he could exchange it, he could completely find cultivators from the Repairing Heaven Institute and Jumang Academy to exchange for his suitable ¡°Earth Gold Core Pill¡±.


    As for the best sacred medicine for core formation, the ¡°Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill¡±, only the immortals can afford it.


    So, that batch of top talents from the four academies who had a way within, would all try to join the three halls of the immortal realm after graduation. They hoped to serve the country or participate in the exploration wars, accumulating and exchanging for spiritual pills that could assist in core formation.


    ¡°It is said that Brother Zuo Qiu will go to the Law Enforcement Bureau after graduation,¡±


    Mi Yudao mentioned another piece of gossip that he had heard.


    Chen Mobai was not interested in this.


    He asked about the names of the other two people who were deferring their graduation and were at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.


    [In other words, currently in the academy, apart from the teachers, among the students, I only need to keep an eye on these three people.]


    After Chen Mobai memorized the names of Zuo Qiushi and three other Foundation Establishment level seven, he thought to himself.


    ¡°It has started.¡±


    While they were chatting, the long-awaited highlight has finally arrived.


    A capable-looking woman wearing a white shirt, black suit trousers, tall, with her short hair tied into a ponytail, walked onto the balcony of the three-story building owned by the student council.


    ¡°That¡¯s Hua Zijing, she¡¯s the second-hand of the student council. Zuo Qiu has been making fewer appearances this year, and it¡¯s estimated that after his graduation, she will take over his position as president,¡±


    Mi Yudao, the know-it-all, immediately introduced.


    Chen Mobai took a look at Hua Zijing, a very unique beauty, her clothes were a bit conservative, but that might be deliberate.


    Behind her, there were two people familiar to Chen Mobai.


    They are Lu Tiansuan and Yuan Jinjun, both members of the student council.


    Among them, Yuan Jinjun was holding a ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡±, which is probably what they were going to open today.


    Chen Mobai took a look with his Void Spirit Eye and found a bottle-shaped Magic Artifact inside.


    Hua Zijing took out a Device Piece. Without any extra bullshit, she directly called on the power of the Fire Godlight.


    The red brilliance, like a stream of fire, quickly fell into the Device Nurturing Sphere. In an instant, the seal and the Spiritual Liquid inside were dissolved into nothingness, revealing the true face of the concealed Magic Artifact.


    It was a Bronze Pot, with an empty spout and a slender handle, looking like a long snake. It had a very good exterior.


    However, Chen Mobai shook his head slightly after looking at it.


    This Spiritual Energy fluctuation seemed to be only a lower-grade Rank-2 Magic Artifact.


    However, at this time, Chen Mobai noticed that the expressions of several Foundation Establishment Cultivators around were a bit off, very shocked.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually the Cyan Treasure Pot!¡±


    Mi Yudao looked at the Bronze Pot in Hua Zijing¡¯s hand, his face filled with envy.


    And at this moment, many of the students in the academy who knew the name of this Bronze Pot were also exclaiming in surprise, causing an uproar.


    ¡°What is the Cyan Treasure Pot?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand why a lower-grade Rank-2 Magic Artifact could cause such a huge stir and reaction.


    ¡°It¡¯s one of the very few Storage Artifacts from the Immortal Realm. Even though it is only a lower-grade Rank-2, in the eyes of some people, its value is almost comparable to that of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact,¡±


    As an outstanding student in the Refining Implement Department, Ming Yuhua obviously knew the origin of the ¡°Cyan Treasure Pot¡±, and immediately explained it to Chen Mobai.


    [Oh, it¡¯s essentially a storage bag!]


    Even though he thought this way internally, Chen Mobai still cooperatively showed a ¡°shocked¡± expression after hearing this.


    In the Tianhe Realm, this sort of thing was the basic equipment of a core formation cultivator.


    In the near future, if the Void Dark Stone mine of the Lonely Spirit Ridge was mined, it was estimated that even the Qi Practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect could have one each.


    With this in mind, Chen Mobai covered his storage bag, which was stitched into the wide sleeve of his garment.


    Hua Zijing, who unveiled the ¡°Cyan Treasure Pot,¡± was delighted. She cradled the bronze pot in her snow-white palms to show off to the sixty-seven Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered in the square.


    Stimulated by this, students who originally planned to wait directly took out the device pieces they had prepared for a long time and opened the Device Nurturing Sphere they had set their sights on at their stalls.


    In an instant, the Fire Godlight flashed continuously, like a splendid red firework display in this underground cave.


    Witnessing this scene, Chen Mobai suddenly had a feeling.


    This Hua Zijing wouldn¡¯t happen to be a shill, would she?


    The whole point was to stimulate these guys to open the Device Nurturing Spheres, thereby depleting a batch of Device Nurturing Spheres that may have been sealed for over a century.


    The more he pondered, the more it made sense, but Chen Mobai didn¡¯t rant about it.


    He just quietly watched the rising and falling Fire Godlight.


    In the blink of an eye, thirteen Device Nurturing Spheres were opened. Among the flashing spiritual lights of the Rank-2 magic artifacts, some people looked ecstatic while others seemed regretful.


    One cut to heaven, one cut to hell.


    No wonder it¡¯s called ¡°high-end gambling stones.¡±


    After the Cyan Treasure Pot was unveiled, the entire afternoon saw the consumption of nineteen device pieces on this plaza. The two best magic artifacts were top-tier Rank-2, namely, a Flowing Light Dagger and a Red and Black Robe.


    Among them, the Black Robe with Red Patterns represents the uniform style of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and it¡¯s also one of the traditional costumes passed down.


    Each of the four Daoist Academies has its own unique uniforms.


    The Dancing Device Red and Black Robe.


    The Kun Peng Flying Fish Suit.


    The Repairing Heaven Colored Cloud Suit.


    The Sentence Mang Fairy Green Shirt.


    Wearing any of these could draw envious glances from the people of the Immortal Door.


    Chen Mobai can also apply for one after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.


    However, the Daoist Academy only issues Rank-1 level robes, and also everyone here is from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, so they don¡¯t show off superior feelings, thus he was too lazy to pick them up.


    But this unearthed Dancing Device Red and Black Robe was carefully woven and cultivated by Artifact Refiners, and have already reached the top-tier of Rank-2 level.


    Hua Zijing immediately referred to the Map of Treasures and found out it was left by a Golden Core Cultivator.


    Besides the Cyan Treasure Pot, this Dancing Device Red and Black Robe was the next most valuable. The senior sister who got this defensive magic artifact was both excited and torn.


    She was excited because she had made it big, and torn because the Red and Black Robe didn¡¯t quite fit her size.


    ¡°Look, there¡¯s a shameless one trying to open that one.¡±


    Ming Yuhua pointed at that Device Nurturing Sphere which was priced at 800,000 Good Deed Points. Yuan Jinjun, along with another ordinary faced youth, walked up to the stall. The latter¡¯s eyes lit up with a yellow glow, and he carefully picked it up for inspection.


    ¡°That is Ming Yu, the vice president of the Student Council. His Bright Mirror Method Eye has the third highest accuracy rate for appraising Device Nurturing Spheres in the entire Treasure Trove.¡±


    As expected of a man of many knowledge, there¡¯s nobody Mi Yudao doesn¡¯t know.


    ¡°Huh, why did he put it down?¡±


    However, to their surprise, after inspecting this Device Nurturing Sphere, Ming Yu shook his head.


    Subsequently, Yuan Jinjun, who originally held a device piece and was excited to open it, instantly lost interest and left with Ming Yu.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go ask.¡±


    Having connections everywhere, Mi Yudao sneaked into the three-story building to inquire about the situation from Lu Tiansuan. He soon learned what had happened.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°After hearing from you guys that there may be a Mysterious Yang Cauldron inside that Device Nurturing Sphere, Yuan Jinjun wanted to snap it up and open it.¡±


    ¡°However, he is a suspicious man. Before opening it, he asked Ming Yu to appraise it. Ming Yu using his Bright Mirror Method Eye could only see a blurry pot-like shape but couldn¡¯t see any patterns that could prove it was the Mysterious Yang Cauldron.¡±


    Because Ming Yu himself considers his Bright Mirror Method Eye as the best in the Daoist Academy, he couldn¡¯t see the pot patterns and so concluded that you two, in collaboration with the stall owner, were setting a trap for Yuan Jinjun ¨C intending to make him spend 800,000 Good Deed Points to purchase that Device Nurturing Sphere and be the ¡®fool¡¯.¡±


    After hearing Mi Yudao¡¯s words, Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua exchanged glances.


    Those people from the Student Council, why are they so confident!

 Chapter 332 - Chapter 332: Chapter 270: Ming Yu_1

    Chapter 332: Chapter 270: Ming Yu_1


    Things suddenly started to look up.


    After the self-proclaimed expert students evaluated it, the Device Nurtifying Sphere sealing the Mysterious Yang Cauldron, which was initially in high demand, instantly became an object of mockery.


    The yellowish young man wore an even more bitter expression, wanting to limit his losses in time.


    The price dropped from eight hundred thousand Good Deed Points and continued to fall.


    Six hundred thousand.


    Three hundred thousand.


    One hundred thousand.


    And finally, it was reduced to fifty thousand Good Deed Points, but still, no one was interested.


    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s my turn.¡±


    Ming Yuhua¡¯s eyes lit up as he witnessed this and was about to step forward to buy the Device Nurtifying Sphere that had been identified by the student association as a rip-off scam.


    ¡°Wait a bit longer. Let¡¯s go check out the one that Senior Brother Mi found.¡±


    Chen Mobai stopped him. Mi Yudao paused slightly, but he quickly caught on and nodded with a smile.


    The trio left the square, rode on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, descended 800 meters, flew into a tunnel entrance about two meters in diameter, travelled another five to six hundred meters where the narrowest part only allowed one person to fly flat, and finally made it to the Fire Spirit Tree.


    A scorching breath rushed towards them. Chen Mobai looked at the dark red Spirit Tree rooted between the fiery red rocks with the Void Spirit Eye activated.


    The Device Nurtifying Sphere, buried between the roots and the rocks, instantly lost its misty covering, clearly descending into his sight.


    In his Void Spirit Eye, the sealed Device Nurtifying Spheres were basically unhidden.


    However, upon closer inspection, he noticed another Device Nurtifying Sphere sealed inside the Fire Spirit Tree, and found that he could not penetrate the seal.


    ¡°It¡¯s an Array Plate.¡±


    Wearing glasses in black frames, Chen Mobai kept his emotions well hidden from his companions.


    After he identified the Device Nurtifying Sphere that Mi Yudao had found, he used his mobile phone¡¯s drawing software to outline the magic artifact he had seen in his penetrative monochrome vision.


    ¡°Thanks. I¡¯ll look for a few more and send them to you all at once at the end of next year.¡±


    Looking at the drawing of the magic artifact sent over by Chen Mobai, Mi Yudao was full of admiration for his excellent drawing skills.


    ¡°Old Chen is the chief of our generation in the Symbol Department, his drawing skills are almost at par with mine¡±


    While saying this, Ming Yuhua also praised himself.


    But it was the truth. An Artifact Refiner also needs impressive design skills.


    Prior to the mechanical diagram, one needs to learn hand-drawing skills.


    Though Ming Yuhua¡¯s realistic-style drawing was different from Chen Mobai¡¯s elegant minimalist style, both of them were highly regarded and imitated by their classmates and even their juniors.


    After examining the Device Nurtifying Sphere, they returned to the square.


    At this point, only three to four dozen people remained.


    The Device Nurtifying Sphere of the Mysterious Yang Cauldron was still unsold.


    The trio of Chen Mobai pretended to be very surprised, walked up, and asked for the price.


    ¡°Twenty thousand Good Deed Points, do you want it?¡±


    The yellowish young man, who had initially insisted on a fixed price of eight hundred thousand, was no longer putting on airs and called out a price listlessly.


    All he wanted was to sell it off at this point and then fully dedicate himself to his cultivation, no longer wasting time looking for Device Nurtifying Spheres.


    ¡°Alright, should I pay using QR code or bank transfer?¡±


    Ming Yuhua also stopped mocking and pulled out his cell phone to pay.


    The yellowish young man was taken aback, as he hadn¡¯t held much hope at this point.


    After all, one Device Piece could be exchanged for a hundred school credits, and everyone was extremely careful when opening a ball.


    A Device Nurtifying Sphere, which had been determined by the student association to be ordinary, was basically unsellable at this point.


    He had already planned that if he couldn¡¯t sell it by tomorrow morning, he would just randomly throw this Device Nurtifying Sphere into a tunnel.


    So, any money he could make now was pure profit.


    Without any hesitation, he added Ming Yuhua as a friend and received his payment.


    ¡°Good luck.¡±


    After giving Ming Yuhua the Device Nurtifying Sphere from his stall, the yellowish young man left with these parting words.


    But just as he was leaving the square, about to cross the undercurrent, he felt a surge of unwillingness in his heart.


    However, having already sold the item, what use was his unwillingness?


    With a sigh, he disappeared at the end of the tunnel.


    On the other side.


    Ming Yuhua held the white jade ball, which faintly revealed the shape of a cauldron from its case, and he was enamored.


    ¡°I wonder when my Device Piece will arrive.¡±


    If Ming Yuhua had a Device Piece now, he would want to open this Device Nurtifying Sphere on the spot.


    ¡°You trust me this much?¡±


    Chen Mobai heard his mutterings and asked with a smile.


    After all, that was an item worth 100 school credits. Chen Mobai had practiced the Void Spirit Eye, but his cultivation time was admittedly short. According to logic, his Daoist skill in this aspect was definitely inferior to the vice president of the student council, Ming Yu.


    ¡°Of course. And this is not me boasting, but at the same stage, you and I are definitely better than Ming Yu.¡±


    Ming Yuhua¡¯s words made Chen Mobai chuckled, following which he handed over a Device Piece to the former.


    ¡°Old Chen, what do you mean by this?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°You go ahead and use it first. Just return your Device Piece to me when you get it.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Ming Yuhua pause for a moment, and he couldn¡¯t resist asking.


    ¡°What if there¡¯s something you like, won¡¯t that delay your plans?¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I haven¡¯t seen anything I like yet.¡±


    ¡°Alright, then I won¡¯t stand on ceremony with you. At most, by the beginning of next year, I¡¯ll ask Teacher Yan to take me deep into the Treasure Trove to return your Device Piece.¡±

 Chapter 333 - Chapter 333: Chapter 270 Ming Yu_2

    Chapter 333: Chapter 270 Ming Yu_2


    Ming Yuhua¡¯s Foundation Establishment happened to fall at the end of the term. Otherwise, given his status in the Refining Implement Department, under True Master Shaoyang¡¯s retreat, True Master Yan, the head of the department, would surely be willing to make the effort.


    With that said, Ming Yuhua accepted Chen Mobai¡¯s device piece.


    Then, he opened his ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± on the spot.


    A red gleam like a galloping dragon suddenly stripped off the white jade sphere in Ming Yuhua¡¯s hand, revealing its true form.


    Indeed, it was a blackish-green round cauldron with three legs and two handles.


    The treasure light was hidden, but as one¡¯s eyes fell on it, they felt a sudden weight and heat.


    ¡°It really is the Mysterious Yang Cauldron.¡±


    Seeing the round cauldron, Mi Yudao at the side couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    The spectacle of opening the nurturing sphere attracted the attention of the remaining thirty or forty people.


    Suddenly, the news that they had gotten a Rank-2 top grade magic artifact was known to everyone.


    In the conference room on the second floor of the Student Council, Yuan Jinjun was expressing his gratitude to Ming Yu.


    ¡°If not for you, I would have been duped by these three devious juniors for eight hundred thousand Good Deed Points.¡±


    ¡°Hmph, they¡¯re playing tricks with us, the Student Council. These juniors clearly lack the respect for their seniors.¡±


    ¡°Alright, alright, if you weren¡¯t so greedy, this trick wouldn¡¯t have worked on you.¡±


    As the person seated at the head of the conference table, Hua Zijing¡¯s delicate eyebrows furrowed, a look of disdain on her beautiful face.


    Yuan Jinjun listened, looking embarrassed, not daring to retort.


    On the other hand, Ming Yu frowned and was about to retort.


    A red light shone outside the window.


    ¡°Someone else has opened one.¡±


    The scene of the Fire Godlight had been witnessed more than twenty times today. Lu Tiansuan immediately changed the subject to prevent the two vice presidents from arguing.


    ¡°Go and find out what they got.¡±


    Ming Yu gave an order to Yuan Jinjun, who immediately complied and left.


    A quarter of an hour later, he walked in with a pale face, looking at Ming Yu strangely.


    ¡°What are you looking at me like that for?¡±


    Seeing Yuan Jinjun, who had always respected him, looking at him with suspicion, anger, doubt¡­.all sorts of emotions. Ming Yu frowned.


    ¡°It¡¯s that nurturing sphere you appraised. It¡¯s been opened.¡±


    Yuan Jinjun said one sentence, and Ming Yu hadn¡¯t reacted yet.


    Aside, Hua Zijing and Lu Tiansuan looked shocked, they glanced at each other, thinking of something.


    ¡°The two new Foundation Establishment students opened the sphere, and the artifact inside is the Mysterious Yang Cauldron!¡±


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    After Yuan Jinjun finished speaking, Ming Yu stood up in surprise and anger.


    He even forget about his usual poise, he jumped out of the window, turned into a yellow spiritual light, and landed in front of Chen Mobai and the others.


    Seeing Ming Yuhua holding a blackish-green round cauldron with both hands, treasuring it like it was invaluable, Ming Yu was stunned.


    Having seen it with his own eyes, no matter how much denial, the fact was right in front of everyone.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Art of Spiritual Eyes indeed surpassed his own.


    How could a new Foundation Establishment student in his fifth year¡­!?


    At this moment, Ming Yu became aware of the gazes around him.


    The fact that he had appraised this eighty-thousand nurturing sphere had already spread everywhere in half a day.


    He had previously promised confidently that with his Bright Mirror Method Eye, he could not confirm the cauldron pattern. Thus, no one could be sure that the artifact inside was a top-grade, rank-2 Mysterious Yang Cauldron.


    Because they believed his judgement, this originally hot-selling, sky-high nurturing sphere, was nowhere near as popular as it was in the evening, being sold to Ming Yuhua by a youth in light yellow clothes for almost a giveaway price of twenty thousand Good Deed Points.


    The surrounding skeptical glances made the usually arrogant Ming Yu¡¯s face flush red.


    ¡°Damn student council, did you intentionally collude with these two guys, trying to trick me out of my Device Nurturing Sphere that I painstakingly fished out of the magma all at a low price?¡±


    A voice filled with anger rang out, and everyone turned their heads to see the wheatish young man.


    He had already left, but the news about the Mysterious Yang Cauldron that Ming Yuhua had revealed was passed on to him by people on the square who knew him.


    The feeling of a knife being stabbed in his heart almost made him vomit blood, he hurriedly rushed back only to see Ming Yu and Chen Mobai standing together, and naturally assumed that the student council had found two unfamiliar faces to trick him out of his treasure.


    ¡°Watch your words, slandering the fair student council, do you want to be criticized by the whole school?¡±


    Ming Yu also happened to be angry, and he couldn¡¯t bear to be slandered by the wheatish young man. His face turned gloomy as he yelled angrily.


    ¡°Damned dog, do you really think your student council is the dean¡¯s office?¡±


    The anger in the heart of the wheatish young man was accumulating wave by wave. After being appraised by Ming Yu at noon, his Device Nurturing Sphere that could have been sold at a sky-high price was ultimately sold at a loss and it even attracted much ridicule from his fellow Daoist Academy students on the square.


    But at that time, he thought that his Device Nurturing Sphere was merely starting to fail to nurture the spiritual liquid, and the sealed magic artifact was just ordinary, so he bore with it.


    After all, charging eight hundred thousand Good Deed Points for an ordinary Rank-2 magic artifact was indeed a bit over the top.


    However, now the misunderstanding was resolved ¨C the magic artifact inside was a very good one indeed, and it was a versatile Rank-2 top-grade Mysterious Yang Cauldron. The market price was at least ten million Good Deed Points. All his anger surged up, the wheatish young man directly disregarded Chen Mobai and the two others, and rushed towards Ming Yu with clenched fists.


    ¡°How dare you!¡±


    A burst of yellow light erupted, and the clothes Ming Yu was wearing turned out to be a Rank-2 magic robe, which directly repelled the young man.


    However, the fact that someone dared to attack him, the vice-president of the student council, made his face flush with anger, who always thought highly of himself.


    He took out a golden wooden stick and couldn¡¯t help but slam it down on the wheatish young man, who was rushing up again.


    This golden wooden stick was also a Rank-2 magic artifact which he proudly made using his Bright Mirror Method Eyes. It was a top-grade Rank-2 Nine Raging Woods.


    The light of the magic artifact bloomed, and the wheatish young man¡¯s protective Spiritual Light dissolved in an instant at the moment of contact.


    Just as he was about to be hit by Nine Raging Woods, a sword light burst out from mid-air, precisely hitting the side of Nine Raging Woods, deflecting this magic artifact.


    Thud!


    The Nine Raging Woods fell to the ground, creating a large hole.


    Ming Yu turned his head and glared at Chen Mobai who controlled the Divine Wood Sword. An idea flashed in his mind to clear his name.


    ¡°I see, your targets are me, not Yuan Jinjun.¡±


    ¡°You used this Device Nurturing Sphere, the result of which you knew long ago, to trick me and tarnish my reputation, right?¡±


    ¡°Hmph, it must be that bastard¡¯s doing. But I have seen through it in the end¡­¡±


    Just as Ming Yu was halfway through his sentence, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t listen any longer, he simply disapproved.


    Moreover, he felt a bit guilty towards the wheatish young man. Although picking up a bargain was his own ability, the mood of having been picked upon was definitely bad. Seeing the latter¡¯s mental breakdown, as a fellow Daoist Academy student, he didn¡¯t have the heart to let his body suffer another blow.


    ¡°Only after I¡¯ve exposed and hit the nail on the head did you get angry in embarrassment? I¡¯ll first restrain you guys, and then invite the teachers from the dean¡¯s office to come over to investigate the truth and clear my name.¡±


    As Ming Yu spoke, he sneered at Chen Mobai and his group.


    He had already observed the cultivation levels of the three of them using his Bright Mirror Method Eyes ¨C they were all at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Even in a three-on-one fight, he could easily win.


    Thinking this way, he clenched the Nine Raging Woods in his hand, subconsciously ignoring the scene where Chen Mobai¡¯s lower-grade Rank-2 Divine Wood Sword had effortlessly deflected his high-grade Rank-2 magic artifact, thinking that it was because he hadn¡¯t taken it seriously.


    ¡°Stop blabbering.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s language was still quite gracious. If it were Ming Yuhua, she would probably say directly: what are you barking at?

    Five red and yellow halos emerged at the top of the wooden stick, turning into wave-like ripples, engulfing the fire spiritual power above the square. It quickly formed a bright yellow vortex ripple, forming a domain that made people feel heavy.


    ¡°Foundation Establishment Stage 5.¡±


    Since Ming Yu had used his Bright Mirror Method Eyes to probe his cultivation level, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate to use his Void Spirit Eyes in return, and saw the former¡¯s realm with one look.


    ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s not too late for you to surrender now.¡±


    Ming Yu didn¡¯t plan to hide anything either; he was openly flaunting his ¡°great¡± cultivation level.

 Chapter 334 - Chapter 334: Chapter 271: You moisten your throat first_1

    Chapter 334: Chapter 271: You moisten your throat first_1


    The Foundation Establishment True Cultivators watching from the sidelines showed anger on their faces, they didn¡¯t like Ming Yu¡¯s actions.


    However, some of them believed in Ming Yu¡¯s imagination, thinking he was really tricked by Chen Mobai and these freshmen.


    Mi Yudao felt bitter in his heart, but if he disassociated himself at this time, the reputation of abandoning his friends would follow him for a lifetime.


    ¡°Senior Ming, there must be some misunderstanding. How about we stop and find a place to discuss this, and sort out the whole situation?¡±


    He could only step forward, hoping to alleviate the situation.


    ¡°Humph! You¡¯re in the same group as them, trying to muddle the waters, pretending to be a mediator in front of me.¡±


    But Ming Yu did not even give him a proper look. Believing that he had exposed Chen Mobai and the others¡¯ plot to slander him, his body illuminated with spiritual power. Nine Raging Woods ripples surged out, emanating a powerful aura of restraint.


    Ming Yuhua and Mi Yudao felt their bodies getting heavier, each blink of the eye consuming spiritual power.


    [It¡¯s hard, but the only thing we can do is explain to the student council through Lu Tiansuan afterwards.]


    Mi Yudao felt bitter in his heart yet did not plan to resist, directly surrendering.


    However, it was Ming Yuhua whose face turned red, as he began to mobilize the Pure Yang spiritual power in his body, attempting to break through the constraint of the Nine Raging Woods.


    ¡°You actually strike me, merely a Rank-5 Foundation Establishment, are you overestimating yourself?¡±


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai said something that shocked everyone present.


    Why was he so outrageous?


    It was understandable that the yellowish youth lost control and attacked Ming Yu.


    But this handsome young student, who seemed very calm, how could he say such absurd things that provoked laughter?


    Who was it that was truly overestimating himself?


    Although many people disliked Ming Yu for bullying the new students, they had to acknowledge his cultivation level.


    Rank-5 Foundation Establishment, plus the Nine Raging Woods, only a few students in the entire Daoist Academy could defeat him head-on; otherwise, he would not be able to hold the position of vice president.


    ¡°Resisting futilely.¡±


    Ming Yu sneered; he no longer wanted to exchange words with Chen Mobai.


    He exerted 80% of the power he could control from the Nine Raging Woods in his hand, planning to showcase his terrifying strength in front of these dozens of people as a way to intimidate everyone and pave the way for his vindication.


    Red and yellow ripples emerged around Chen Mobai and others, as if the three were about to be completely restrained.


    Ming Yuhua gritted his teeth, preparing to launch the Flame Explosion Technique from the Pure Yang Scroll, stimulating his innate spiritual fire for artifact refining. A dazzling purple glow suddenly shone beside him.


    He turned his head to look, and saw in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm, a ball of purple flames, with a hint of green in the center, pulsing like a heart.


    Although the flame was only the size of a fist, everyone felt a piercing brightness and heat the moment their vision touched it.


    Rank-2 Spiritual Fire!


    But to defeat Ming Yu, it was simply impossible.


    Just when everyone thought that Chen Mobai was just trying to struggle, the fist-sized purple and green flame in his palm suddenly burst out with a spectacular deep-purple Sword Light.


    No Flying Sparrow Hairpin was used, he merely launched the Purple Fire Sword Light with the Qingyang Fire Seed.


    The Sword Light was like silk.


    The moment it burst forth, it entered the invisible ripples of the Nine Raging Woods in front of him, creating streaks of currents, rapidly and irresistibly bursting out of the restraining whirlpool, then its momentum remained unstoppable, going straight above Ming Yu¡¯s head.


    ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission!¡±


    Disbelieving eyes emerged ¨C are there students in the Daoist Academy who have this level of sword cultivation?


    But it was too late for regrets; Ming Yu¡¯s Divine Sense exploded, the yellow treasure light emerging from his robe to form a hard barrier, blocking this deep purple dazzling Sword Light for a breaths¡¯ time.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    The yellow treasure light shattered, creating a beautiful firework display.


    Taking advantage of this moment, Ming Yu kept retreating; he no longer dared to hold back, he releases twelve times his spiritual power and Divine Sense, maximizing the power of the Nine Raging Woods.


    However, the six golden-yellow light rings had just formed, then one by one they were defeated by the deep-purple dazzling Sword Light that followed.


    ¡°Junior Stooge¡­ Spare me!¡±


    ¡°Show mercy!¡±


    Along with his blood-spitting, Ming Yu¡¯s pleading voice sounded.


    In another small western style building of the student council, Hua Zijing¡¯s angry shout came, along with a turquoise light that rushed towards Chen Mobai, trying to block this sword for Ming Yu.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai specifically paused the sword light bursting from his palm.


    Waiting until Hua Zijing¡¯s turquoise light hit the ground before striking out again.


    ¡°Splashing!¡±


    The moment the turquoise light touched the Sword Light, it shattered like mercury, turning into multitudes water droplets falling to the ground.

    Under the disbelieving eyes of everyone, this deep purple dazzling Sword Light stopped at the center of Ming Yu¡¯s forehead, circled his scalp like a dragon,While burning his hair at the same time, it reversed and returned to Chen Mobai¡¯s palm as if time was flowing back.


    ¡°The two vice-presidents of the student council, is this your level?¡±


    Chen Mobai let out a sigh after retracting his Sword Light, and said to Ming Yuhua beside him in a dispirited manner.


    ¡°Junior fellow student, may I ask for your distinguished name?¡±


    Hua Zijing descended with Lu Tiansuan and Yuan Jinjun, their faces were shocked. She greeted Chen Mobai with the ancient courtesy of the Dance Tool Dao Academy and asked.

 Chapter 335 - Chapter 335: Chapter 271: You First Moisten Your Throat_2

    Chapter 335: Chapter 271: You First Moisten Your Throat_2


    ¡°Enrollment Class 5012, Chen Mobai.¡±


    Since I¡¯ve taken action, there is no need to hide any longer.


    After revealing his name, he retracted the Qingyang Fire Seed he had been holding and put his hand behind his back, his face filled with boredom.


    ¡°Class of 5012! He¡¯s in the same class as Zhongli Tianyu! I didn¡¯t expect there would be another terrifying monster besides that freak.¡±


    True Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment stage surrounding them were visibly taken aback upon hearing of Chen Mobai¡¯s background.


    Everyone regarded Zhongli Tianyu as a monster primarily because of his promising future. All believed that his potential would surpass Zuo Qiushi, the current top student, by the time he reached grade ten.


    But now, Chen Mobai, a Sword Cultivation Genius who has mastered Sword Rainbow Fission, has entirely surpassed the realm¡¯s limitations.


    Ming Yu and Hua Zijing, the two vice-presidents of the Student Union, couldn¡¯t withstand a single sword strike from him.


    Only if Zuo Qiushi, takes action, is there any chance of challenging this guy.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, Ming Yu was wrong first in this matter. I apologize on his behalf.¡±


    Hua Zijing cast a sharp glance at Ming Yu. At that moment, the latter didn¡¯t dare say a word. He hung his head, pretending to reflect upon his actions, fearing that Chen Mobai might notice him and strike him with another sword.


    ¡°Hmm, should I accept?¡±


    Chen Mobai pretended to consider, then turned his head to ask Ming Yuhua and Mi Yudao beside him. The latter swallowed nervously, his face blank, too stunned to speak.


    ¡°I feel his apology lacks sincerity,¡±


    Ming Yuhua, who was naturally bold, agreed.


    ¡°If you two juniors agree, I can allow you to use the Map of Treasures for free ten times.¡±


    Hua Zijing misunderstood, thinking that Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua were trying to take advantage of the situation.


    ¡°No, I mean your apology lacks sincerity.¡±


    Chen Mobai stretched out his hand and pointed at Hua Zijing. Although she was beautiful and the vice president of the Student Union, after his last sword attack, she no longer had the courage to confront him again.


    ¡°Ming Yu, come and apologize.¡±


    Hua Zijing yelled immediately. At this point, Ming Yu no longer cared about face-saving. When Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Light threatened his life, he had felt the threat of death for the first time.


    A young man who grew up in a comfortable and safe environment now had his Dao heart shattered by the sword.


    ¡°Juniors, I was wrong in this matter. I hope you can forgive me.¡±


    Without any hesitation, Ming Yu immediately came forward and bowed, performing an ancient apology gesture to the three of them.


    ¡°This is reluctantly some show of sincerity. Don¡¯t forget the ten uses of the Map of Treasures.¡±


    Ming Yuhua watched all this with a satisfied face, nodding as he held the Mysterious Yang Cauldron.


    ¡°Ah, that¡¯s it for you,¡±


    But clearly, this time, Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua were not on the same wavelength.


    ¡°What else do you want? Should we also make him apologize?¡±


    Ming Yuhua, somewhat at a loss, indicated towards Yuan Jinjun, who was white-faced. As the latter broke into a cold sweat, Chen Mobai shook his head with a helpless look.


    ¡°I originally wanted Zuo Qiushi, the president, to apologize. And see if my Sword Light could win against a seventh-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.¡±


    Hiss!


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s statement, everyone, including Ming Yuhua, took a sharp breath.


    [Bro, I know you¡¯re strong, but challenging Zuo Qiushi directly seems a bit too fierce.]


    Ming Yuhua slipped over stealthily, indicating that it was enough and that there¡¯s no need to go too far.


    ¡°Since you¡¯ve said so, let¡¯s call it a day.¡±


    Chen Mobai was willing to listen to advice, but his original plan also wasn¡¯t bad. After all, in Tianhe Realm, the life-and-death dividing line is crossed upon reaching late Foundation Establishment stage.


    In the Immortal Sect, sparring is primarily done in the name of exchanging moves. He could use this rare opportunity to gauge the gap between him and those in the late Foundation Establishment stage.


    After all, following two battles, he has got a basic understanding of his strength¡¯s lower limit.


    He can instantaneously kill cultivators in the early Foundation Establishment stage and most of those in the middle stage.


    But he hasn¡¯t yet fought those in the late stage. Those on the seventh floor of the Foundation Establishment stage are their weakest. It¡¯s perfect to test his sword skills against them.


    But it seems Zuo Qiushi is not here. If he continues to humiliate others, it would appear disrespectful.


    Chen Mobai shook his head feeling bored and pulled back the Qingyang Fire Seed held in his palm.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, if you really want to spar with the president, you can leave your contact information.¡±


    But at this point, Hua Zijing was a little dissatisfied.


    Even though Chen Mobai mastered the Sword Rainbow Fission and could instantly kill the two vice presidents, Zuo Qiushi had also forged an invincible belief in their hearts over the years.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai had belittled the Student Union president in front of so many people with his almost contemptuous tone. As vice president and director of the Secretariat, who had been following Zuo Qiushi all the way, Hua Zijing felt insulted.


    ¡°Okay, set up a time and place when he¡¯s free. But I¡¯m going to participate in the Crimson City University Alliance Exchange very soon, so you better arrange it quickly.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t show the worry that everyone expected. Instead, he took out his phone excitedly, added Hua Zijing as a friend.


    ¡°Alright, please wait, Junior Brother Chen.¡±


    After adding a remark ¡°Madman¡± gritting her teeth, Hua Zijing decided to immediately inform Zuo Qiushi about this matter.

 Chapter 336 - Chapter 336: Chapter 271: You First Moisturize Your Throat_3

    Chapter 336: Chapter 271: You First Moisturize Your Throat_3


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t waste any more time here, he left with Ming Yuhua and Mi Yudao.


    ¡°Junior, if there¡¯s any way I can help in the future, don¡¯t hesitate to contact me.¡±


    After flying out of the tunnel, Mi Yudao looked at him with awe, then bid farewell and left.


    Chen Mobai laughed and said goodbye to him, then took the satisfyingly fruitful Ming Yuhua and flew away from the back mountain.


    ¡°Brother, thank you.¡±


    Holding the Mysterious Yang Cauldron, Ming Yuhua was completely satisfied. He hadn¡¯t expected his first visit to the Treasure Trove would yield such a precious magic artifact.


    ¡°There is no need for formalities between us.¡±


    The two separated on campus, with Ming Yuhua still living in the campus dormitory.


    Chen Mobai returned to the small wooden house he was renting.


    Having given Ming Yuhua a Mysterious Yang Cauldron, ensuring he would spend a long time on treasure appraisal and refining incantations, and wouldn¡¯t bother him again about going to the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai intentionally adjusted his flying light to its brightest setting as he flew home.


    There was even a breaking sound accompanying the flight, to notify his neighbor Meng Huang, that he was back.


    Upon returning to the small wooden house, Chen Mobai waited about half an hour before taking out his phone and tentatively sent a very direct message.


    ¡°Can I hear you sing?¡±


    ¡­


    The Student Association.


    Hua Zijing and the others sat in the previous meeting room, the atmosphere was extraordinarily gloomy and depressing.


    ¡°Vice President, I suddenly remembered that it¡¯s been a while since I went home. I suddenly want to go back this year.¡±


    Yuan Jinjun carefully said to Hua Zijing.


    ¡°Going home? Hmm, you heard that the little junior is also participating in the exchange event, scared to be in the same team, right?¡±


    Hua Zijing sneered and saw through Yuan Jinjun¡¯s careful thinking.


    The exchange meeting of the Crimson City Cave Sky University Alliance is always organized by the student associations of all participating universities. Hua Zijing has been in charge of this for three consecutive years. Yuan Jinjun is responsible for liaising with Pure Yang Academy and is always enthusiastic about this.


    Because the students of the Dance Tool Dao Academy are always highly esteemed in the exchange meetings.


    After all, they are young and enjoy being looked up to and admired by others.


    But after Yuan Jinjun heard that Chen Mobai would also be participating this year, he thought it would be better to avoid the limelight and suddenly started to miss home.


    ¡°Alas, the fundamental error is mine. Over the past few years, as the vice president of the student association, I¡¯ve been so arrogant and complacent that I can¡¯t admit that someone is superior to me in the Art of Spiritual Eyes. So I caused this, and I am willing to resign.¡±


    At this time, Ming Yu suddenly spoke, and everyone was shocked.


    ¡°I can¡¯t make the decision. When the president arrives, you can tell him yourself.¡±


    Although Hua Zijing didn¡¯t like the arrogant Mingyu on ordinary days, when he heard that this long-time colleague was about to leave, he was a little bit emotional.


    ¡°No need. I have heard.¡±


    Suddenly, a heavy voice sounded.


    Everyone in the meeting room heard it and looked overjoyed, then a tall young man dressed in a Red and Black Robe appeared at the end of the table.


    ¡°President.¡±


    ¡­


    Night time.


    Chen Mobai was discussing music styles with Meng Huang, just about to persuade her to sing a few lines, when a call came in and hijacked the chat app.


    It was Hua Zijing who called.


    [Really annoying, especially at this time.]


    But Chen Mobai still patiently answered, without any small talk, Hua Zijing represented Zuo Qiushi in challenging him to a duel.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Alright, wait for me!¡±


    After grinding his teeth and saying this, Chen Mobai sent an apologetic voice message to Meng Huang.


    ¡°You moisten your throat first, I¡¯m going to have a duel with Zuo Qiushi, I¡¯ll come back soon to hear your singing.¡±


    In the villa on the hilltop, Meng Huang who had just heard this voice message opened her eyes wide.


    She naturally knew who Zuo Qiushi was!

 Chapter 337 - Chapter 337: Chapter 272: All Techniques Used_1

    Chapter 337: Chapter 272: All Techniques Used_1


    Chen Mobai stepped over the underground currents and flew to the square where the student council was located.


    It was a place that was bustling with people just yesterday, but it was now eerily deserted.


    There was only one person waiting for him.


    Chen Mobai landed and took in the sight of Zuo Qiushi. He was sturdy, had a square face without eyebrows, half red and half black hair down his shoulders, and was dressed in the Dancing Device Red and Black Robe.


    He had a Ring-headed Broad Sword embedded in the ground, supported by his right hand. His whole figure seemed strong and formidable.


    ¡°You have arrived.¡±


    Contrary to what Chen Mobai had imagined, Zuo Qiushi did not start talking in an aggressive or insulting manner, he just said calmly.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard a lot about the president. I only made this challenge because I wanted to test my abilities and see where I stand.¡±


    Watching Zuo Qiushi¡¯s tone, Chen Mobai naturally treated him in kind, laying out his reasons at the start.


    ¡°Oh, you want to know your own strength? Could it be that you also know the ¡®Little Red Sky¡¯?¡±


    ¡°Little Red Sky! What¡¯s happening?¡±


    Zuo Qiushi¡¯s mentioning of a mysterious term startled Chen Mobai. Could this be an earth-shattering event?


    ¡°It is something that the Crimson City Sky Hole will reveal during its millennium celebration. The major figure from Xianmen is here to host the ¡®Little Red Sky¡¯ event. According to my teacher¡¯s guess, it could be related to another world.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Due to the scarcity of resources on the Ground Origin Star, wars were launched regularly by Xianmen, in order to sustain the large number of cultivators.


    And the highest level of such war was to ¡°conquer a new world¡±.


    The last world-conquering war took place two thousand years ago. Xianmen had lost half of its population and almost got invaded by creatures of the other world.


    Although they won in the end, it was a hard-fought victory.


    ¡°Is there any other news?¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but ask. Zuo Qiushi was taken aback.


    ¡°I asked you here for a fight, not a chat.¡±


    ¡°Oh, sorry, since I was a kid I¡¯ve been a little obsessed with wars over new territories. I couldn¡¯t help but excited hearing about the possibility of conquering a new world.¡±


    Zuo Qiushi couldn¡¯t be bothered to talk anymore, he drew his Ring-headed Broad Sword.


    The moment the sword left the sheath, it was glinting chillingly, about a meter long and sharp. The blade¡¯s tip formed an arc, and when swung around, illuminated half of the square.


    ¡°Why is it just you? Where are the rest of the student council members?¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai noticed something. On this square, there were only the two of them.


    ¡°To avoid anyone knowing the exact result of our fight, it¡¯s easier with just the two of us.¡±


    After these words from Zuo Qiushi, he swung his sword and a sharp Sword Light broke out, like a crescent moon tearing through the sky, its sharpness echoing in the air.


    Zing!


    Chen MoBai didn¡¯t say anything more. Drawing the Divine Wood Sword from his sleeve, he crushed the Sword Light. As if a fish swimming through the water, the Sword Qi Long Rainbow overcame the adversary¡¯s Sword Light landing


    Sword Rainbow, as if a heavy rain, covering the sky.


    However, Zuo Qiushi only needed to swing the big sword horizontally and vertically. The intersected cross Sword Light had already cut through the incoming Sword Rainbow.


    ¡°Should I try first?¡±


    From what he learned from Hua Zijing and others, Zuo Qiushi was well aware that Chen Mobai was a powerful Sword Cultivator who mastered the Sword Rainbow Fission. But the Sword Rainbow he used as a first move seemed quite an underwhelming choice, which made Zuo Qiushi slightly frown.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll make the first move.¡±


    Zuo Qiushi gripped the sword with his right hand and made a strange seal with his left. Suddenly, Chen Mobai felt the Fire Spiritual Power around him become active. In the blink of an eye, a sea of fire erupted around him.


    The Fire Stabilization Technique was used, and the dark red sea of fire about to engulf him suddenly stopped in place. Then it seemed to be under Chen Mobai¡¯s control, concentrated in his palm, into a reddish lightning bolt.


    Bing Fire Divine Thunder Technique!


    After some time of cultivation, Chen Mobai has mastered this thunder method. However, this was the first time he used it against someone. Good thing his opponent was up to the task.


    In the thunderclap, a rain of Divine Thunder crossed the sky, leaving behind a hint of charred smell, and landed on top of Zuo Qiushi¡¯s head. It broke through the three layers of his Defensive Magic, but was eventually blocked by the Spiritual Light of his Dancing Device Red and Black Robe, before vanishing silently.


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai reached out and pulled out his Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    After three moves, he had a rough idea of his opponent¡¯s strength.


    Given his brief period of cultivation, the power of his spells is not very strong and basically poses no threat to Zuo Qiushi.


    Indeed, the only thing that can disregard the realm difference, is his Sword Rainbow Fission.


    Thinking that he¡¯ll soon have to return and listen to Meng Huang¡¯s singing, Chen Mobai decided not to hold back anymore, and directly took out his strongest techniques.


    Brilliant deep purple Sword Light, with the Flying Sparrow Hairpin at its core, fired from his hand, like a laser cutting through the air. It cut through Zuo Qiushi¡¯s twelve Sword Lights and even penetrated the Spiritual Light of his Dancing Device Red and Black Robe.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This is the first time that Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Light has been blocked by someone.


    He didn¡¯t know if it was because Zuo Qiushi was really strong, or the Dancing Device Defensive Robe is powerful.


    Sword Light shone, Zuo Qiushi, blocking the Sword light, was already in front of Chen Mobai.


    The Green Scale Arm Guard lit up and countless dark green spots flew out from his sleeves, transforming into a sturdy shield, to block the opponent¡¯s sword.


    At the same time, Chen Mobai¡¯s left hand behind his back extended. Somehow he was holding a golden ax, seemingly awaiting Zuo Qiushi¡¯s approach.

 Chapter 338 - Chapter 338: Chapter 272: All Methods are Exhausted_2

    Chapter 338: Chapter 272: All Methods are Exhausted_2


    The axe fell, facing the slash of the two offensive magic artifacts, the protective spiritual light on the Dancing Device Red and Black Robe finally reached its limit.


    Zuo Qiushi swung his blade to block the golden jade axe.


    But he found that his wrist was tight, and he couldn¡¯t withdraw his sword for a moment.


    Looking down, he saw blue scales adhering to his bronzed skin from his wrist to his elbow without him noticing when they appeared. The scales released a paralyzing spiritual power at the critical moment, causing him to show flaws.


    Seeing the golden jade axe about to fall, Zuo Qiushi had to spit out a fiery red bead from his mouth.


    With a ¡®pop¡¯!


    Chen Mobai only felt that his palm, which was holding the axe, seemed to have suffered a huge impact. The palm stung and he couldn¡¯t help but let go. The axe flew up into the sky and struck the top of the cave wall.


    At this time, he was exposed.


    Zuo Qiushi shouted, his abundant spiritual power bursting out far beyond Chen Mobai¡¯s. While shattering the blue scales on his arm, he flipped the blade with both hands and struck out toward Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulders and chest.


    At the crucial moment of victory or defeat, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes suddenly burst out with clear light, and his divine sense operated to its limit.


    Zuo Qiushi, a seventh-rank Foundation Establishment cultivator and the long-term top student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, proved to be the most powerful opponent Chen Mobai had ever met with his three magic artifacts and extraordinary magic duel skills.


    If he had already integrated his spirit at this time, he could use the divine sense to cast ¡°Divine Slash¡±, disrupting the opponent¡¯s mind and dodging this blade.


    Unfortunately, his relationship with Meng Huang was not yet mature, and he did not have enough practice.


    Even so, Chen Mobai still has an ace up his sleeve.


    A streak of red fiery sword qi burst behind him, as if another powerful Foundation Establishment true cultivator was ambush, seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stab at Zuo Qiushi¡¯s brow.


    Although this blade can incapacitate Chen Mobai, Zuo Qiushi will also be severely injured under this sword.


    This was just a friendly spar, and Zuo Qiushi naturally made the most prudent choice.


    He flicked his wrist, turning the blade to deflect the fiery sword qi. At the same time, he kicked towards Chen Mobai¡¯s chest.


    His shoes were also a Rank-2 magic artifact called ¡°Stepping on Cloud Shoes¡±, which provided not only flight capability but also significant power.


    If this kick landed, even the Body Cultivators could bleed heavily.


    But Chen Mobai had regained control of his body at this opportunity. His right hand stretched forward, and the arm guard he was wearing absorbed more scales and perfectly blocked the Stepping on Cloud Shoes.


    A ¡®clang¡¯ sound.


    After the dull sound, both of them retreated.


    At this time, under Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense control, the Flying Sparrow Hairpin and Divine Wood Sword were once again transformed into sword light and sword rainbow.


    The Sword Qi Long Rainbow of the Divine Wood Sword interwove into a sword net and slashed towards Zuo Qiushi.


    The latter was retreating in mid-air, and the Stepping on Cloud Shoes flickered with spiritual light. Along with the attack of the Divine Wood Sword, it drove his body to constantly adjust his posture and wave the long sword in his hand in a very short time, leaving no opening at all.


    ¡°This guy is tougher than I thought.¡±


    Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai finally made up his mind and launched the ¡°Sun Raising Technique¡±.


    He spat out his own Yuan Yang¡¯s Qi toward the Flying Sparrow Hairpin in the mid-air, and the Qingyang Fire Seed, which was originally integrated with this small flying sword, instantly burned like oil. The color also changed from deep purple to half purple half green.


    The Flying Sparrow Hairpin, endowed with the purple-green fire seed, increased the sharpness of the Purple Fire Sword Light, enhancing to another level.


    Bright light arose!


    In this giant cave, which has existed for thousands of years, a round of purple sunlight suddenly appeared. It cleared all the darkness and flew towards the just-landed Zuo Qiushi with a terrifying sword intent that can cut everything.


    The latter changed his face drastically as he saw this.


    He first turned pale, then flushed, seemingly using a technique to stimulate his potential. His abundant spiritual power was elevated to the next level in a flash.


    Then, the fiery red spiritual pearl that had blown away the golden jade axe and made Chen Mobai¡¯s body out of control was spit out by him again. However, this time it revealed its true power.


    The fiery red brilliance shone, carrying a bit of Dao¡¯s true meaning, and collided with the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    In the rumbling sound.


    As the center of the collision of the two forces, Zuo Qiushi was flung back again, a streak of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.


    Chen Mobai launched the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± with the little spiritual power left in his body, and wrapped himself with the power of this magic artifact to block the aftermath while starting his divine sense.


    The hidden mannequin burst out from the darkness like a shadow.


    ¡°Cough cough¡­¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After about half an hour, the aftermath of the collision between the spiritual pearl and sword light finally dissipated. Zuo Qiushi waved his wide sleeve, wiping off the blood from the corner of his mouth while clearing the smoke around him.


    Gradually, the figure of Chen Mobai appeared in his sight.


    The strand of mists and clouds dissipated, revealing his untouched and calm posture.


    Compared to this, although Zuo Qiushi wiped off the blood from his mouth in time and his Red and Black Robe remained stain-free, his overall demeanor was somewhat disturbed.


    However, as the top student of the Daoist Academy for all these years, he had no intention of admitting defeat just like that.

 Chapter 339 - Chapter 339: Chapter 272: All Means Used _3

    Chapter 339: Chapter 272: All Means Used _3


    Although using a Rank-3 magic artifact might seem overbearing, compared to the prospect of failure, Zuo Qiushi was willing to temporarily set aside his pride.


    ¡°You lost.¡±


    But as Zuo Qiushi was about to unleash the true power of his Fire Spirit Pearl, Chen Mobai¡¯s voice rang out.


    ¡°Lost? Impossible¡­¡±


    As Zuo Qiushi refuted, he felt a piercing chill at his back, as if a sharp sword was pressing against his heart, leaving him immobile.


    [Did he resort to trickery? Did he call for reinforcements?]


    This was the first thought that flashed through Zuo Qiushi¡¯s mind.


    Immediately, he recalled how he had previously forced Chen Mobai into a corner, only for a mysterious blaze of sword light to strike from behind, forcing him to return his blade to defend, costing him the crucial victory.


    ¡°I admit defeat, what happened?¡±


    At this point, Zuo Qiushi wasn¡¯t a sore loser. Once he put down his long knife and dispelled the accumulated liquid spiritual power, he stared straight into Chen Mobai¡¯s clear ¡®Void Spirit Eye¡¯.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you inquire about my reputation before we fought?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked back with curiosity.


    ¡°I did. Besides Zhongli Tianyu, you¡¯re the best in the 5012th class. First in Rune Mastery, Sword Training, and Puppet Mastery¡­¡±


    Zuo Qiushi suddenly stopped as he said the last three words.


    His eyes slowly widened as he understood.


    ¡°I see.¡±


    Ignoring the flying sword pressing at his back, Zuo Qiushi turned around to find Chen Mobai¡¯s anonymous puppet holding the Divine Wood Sword, and he couldn¡¯t help but let out a sigh.


    ¡°Who would have noticed that you, a sword cultivator, were also a puppet master.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re pretty impressive, had you not underestimated me at the beginning, you might have been able to defeat me.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s voice came from behind Zuo Qiushi. He snapped his fingers and the anonymous puppet holding the Divine Wood Sword jumped up and landed beside him.


    ¡°I thought very highly of you, and put in all my effort. Why do you think I underestimated you?¡±


    Zuo Qiushi turned around again, faced Chen Mobai, and asked in confusion.


    ¡°That bead of yours is a Rank-3 magic artifact, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed at the unmoving Fire Spirit Pearl in mid-air, which had collided with the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    At first, he didn¡¯t notice it. But now thinking about it, the artifact that could directly confront a top-tier Rank-2 Golden Jade Axe and cause him to lose control, if not Rank-3, then what could it be?


    Moreover, everyone in the Dance Tool Dao Academy knew that Zuo Qiushi was practicing ¡°The Union of Differences¡± that incorporates a Rank-3 Co-participation Legal Device.


    ¡°Correct, but a loss is a loss. Your anonymous puppet is also a Rank-3 Mech. Even if I had used the true power of the Fire Spirit Pearl from the beginning, I would have likely been at a disadvantage against you.¡±


    Zuo Qiushi¡¯s demeanor was even better than Chen Mobai had imagined, as he candidly admitted his defeat.


    ¡°It¡¯s not the same, my anonymous puppet, due to the nature of the spirit stone, only has the power for three attacks. If we were to do it again, you would probably win.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, although the truth was mixed in his statement. The intermediate-grade spirit stone within his anonymous puppet indeed only possessed three attacks worth of power.


    If he ignored the damage to the precious spirit stone, the power that could be manifested by this anonymous puppet probably wouldn¡¯t be weaker than Zuo Qiushi¡¯s Rank-3 artifact.


    ¡°I¡¯m not a sore loser. I¡¯m graduating this year and I¡¯ve been wondering who would succeed me. Are you interested?¡±

    After losing, Zuo Qiushi breathed a sigh of relief and offered an invitation that surprised Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Me? Student Council President? Isn¡¯t that a bit casual?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, once you agree, I¡¯ll take care of the rest.¡±


    Initially, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t interested in joining the Student Council as he didn¡¯t want to deal with trivial matters.


    But if they let him become the president directly, it seemed worth considering.

 Chapter 340 - Chapter 340: Chapter 273: Not Shying Away From Responsibilities_1

    Chapter 340: Chapter 273: Not Shying Away From Responsibilities_1


    ¡°Do you know why I moved everyone away so they won¡¯t see the results of our magic duel?¡±


    Zuo Qiushi asked a strange question that Chen Mobai naturally didn¡¯t know the answer to.


    ¡°The presidents of the student unions in the four Daoist academies are representatives of their own institutions and are often compared by all university students in the Immortal Sect. I think I¡¯ve done an adequate job without letting Dance Tool Dao Academy down. So, the successor naturally can¡¯t be weak.¡±


    As Zuo Qiushi said this, he pointed to Chen Mobai, suggesting he was suitable.


    ¡°Zhongli Tianyu is good. He was my first choice, but he is only at the fifth tier of Foundation Establishment, and he needs two more years of cultivation to handle this position.¡±


    ¡°You are good, although your cultivation realm is low, your talent for magic duels is unmatched. I checked your data, and you were able to join our academy because you won against all contenders at the same generation in Red Sandstone City.¡±


    ¡°I was thinking if I win over you, I would publicly announce that we were equal matches. It would be a hype for you since you achieved the Sword Rainbow Fission, and no one would easily contradict this record.¡±


    Unfortunately, Zuo Qiushi lost.


    But because of this, what was initially just a thought in his head, he made up his mind instantly after witnessing Chen Mobai¡¯s terrifying talent in magic duels.


    It would be you.


    Chen Mobai was a bit tempted, but he wondered if his frequent absences would affect his exploration of the Tianhe Realm once he takes on the role of student union president.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about this, when I was president of the student union, I was also a laissez-faire boss, and I left all the work to Hua Zijing. After I graduate, it may even be better if you, as president, don¡¯t want to manage affairs.¡±


    After listening to Zuo Qiushi¡¯s words, Chen Mobai nodded and then asked the most important question.


    ¡°What are the benefits of being the student union president?¡±


    ¡°What kind of benefits are you referring to?¡±


    Zuo Qiushi was a bit uncertain as to what Chen Mobai referred to as ¡°benefits.¡± His imminent entry into public service gave him a profound understanding of these two words, and he instantly thought of several implications. To avoid misunderstandings, he simply asked directly.


    ¡°Something substantial, such as potions, magic artifacts, academic credit, Vermillion fruit, etc. Are there such benefits for being the president of the student union?¡±


    Chen Mobai was still quite innocent, asking for these things put Zuo Qiushi at ease.


    ¡°Since the student union helps the academy connect with students and maintain order, the academy will grant us five credits a year.¡±


    ¡°As for magic artifacts, since the president is the face of the academy, you will receive a set of Rank-2 Dancing Device Red and Black Robe.¡±


    ¡°And you can freely use the Map of Treasures. The academy takes half of the credits acquired from the Map of Treasures, and the rest counts as benefits.¡±


    These are the overall benefits of the student union. Everything else is related to various responsibilities, obligations, and associated powers.


    After hearing about this, Chen Mobai felt somewhat let down.


    ¡°Just five credits a year?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a small number. These five credits are only available to ten members of the entire student union, all of whom are my trusted aides. Our main source of credit income is still from the Map of Treasures. Although half of it will be taken by the academy, if you are lucky, you can accumulate enough in one or two years to exchange for a Device Piece. If a magic artifact emerges, you, as the president, have the priority to choose.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai showing some dissatisfaction, Zuo Qiushi had to disclose some of the hidden benefits of the student union.


    Sure enough, when he heard about this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Accumulating credits on his own would take a long time, which isn¡¯t as fast as earning rent directly.


    At the end of each year in the Daoist Academy, people would open the Device Nurturing Sphere. Each person who does so spends 100 credits to exchange for a Device Piece and will not hesitate to pay the small two-point fee for the information query on the Map of Treasures.


    And with the influence of the student union, his search for Device Nurturing Spheres that probably seals Rank-3 Magic Artifacts will certainly be more efficient.


    ¡°In that case, I think it¡¯s worth considering.¡±


    Upon hearing this from Chen Mobai, Zuo Qiushi assured him that he would immediately vacate his position for him.


    ¡°Why so suddenly?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve graduated this year, and after handing over the student union affairs, I will be starting my new job in the enforcement bureau. If it weren¡¯t for you, I would have given the position to Zijing to serve as an interim for two years before handing it over to Zhongli Tianyu or other more talented candidates.¡±


    Zuo Qiushi didn¡¯t hide anything and directly told Chen Mobai why he was in such a hurry to step down.


    Indeed, compared to the promising career in the Immortal Sect and the potential of gaining the ¡°Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill¡±, being the president of the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s student union is also a vital position for accumulating credits to exchange for the ¡°Fire Elemental Knot Golden Elixir¡±, but having a better option, one should strive to get the best.


    Presumably, Lan Haitian from Kunpeng Daoist Institute feels the same way.

    ¡°You just trust me like that.¡±


    Chen Mobai still feels a bit like he¡¯s dreaming. How did he win over the whole student union after winning over Zuo Qiushi?!


    ¡°I¡¯ve personally experienced your talent in magic duels, the best I¡¯ve ever seen in my life. What we need for the foremost representatives of the four Daoist academies is strength, and aren¡¯t you the most suitable?¡±


    Upon Zuo Qiushi¡¯s counter-question, Chen Mobai felt the reasoning was still a bit far-fetched.


    ¡°Moreover, you are a disciple of Supervisor Che. Even if you can¡¯t manage the student union properly, he can pick up after you. Anyway, once I hand this position over to you, I will have fulfilled my responsibility to the academy.¡±

 Chapter 341 - Chapter 341: Chapter 273: Not Shying Away from Responsibilities_2

    Chapter 341: Chapter 273: Not Shying Away from Responsibilities_2


    It was only after his final words that Chen Mobai understood.


    So Che Yucheng¡¯s reputation was also at stake here.


    Upon saying this, Zuo Qiushi finally revealed his true thoughts, leaving no doubt in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    Influenced by his grandfather, he had longed to hold an official post since he was a child.


    Although it was only a small office in a school, it was still an office after all!


    In no time, the members from various student council departments arrived after receiving the news.


    ¡°After I graduate, he will be the next chairman.¡±


    Zuo Qiushi acted swiftly and decisively, recognizing Chen Mobai as his predecessor in front of everyone present, and then he submitted the job handover application in the system of the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Wait, why is this¡­¡±


    ¡°We need a reason.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Chairman, can you please tell us the reason?¡±


    Yuan Jinjun, who was originally waiting for Zuo Qiushi to teach Chen Mobai a lesson, could not comprehend, he opened his eyes wide and looked at them.


    The rest of the people naturally disagreed too, but Zuo Qiushi carried weight in their hearts and they didn¡¯t dare to oppose it openly. They could only subtly express their slight protest.


    ¡°I lost, he is the most talented student in magic duel in the Daoist Academy in the past century, he is strong enough to be the face of the Daoist Academy, is this reason enough?¡±


    Zuo Qiushi pointed to the traces of the magic duel in the cave, admitting his defeat.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe you would lose.¡±


    The person who said this was Hua Zijing, she regards Zuo Qiushi as a deity.


    Ever since she joined the student council and followed Zuo Qiushi to attend several joint activities with representatives from other Daoist faculties, she had never seen him lose.


    ¡°I also didn¡¯t believe that I would lose, but once I lost, it is still loss, it isn¡¯t something to be proud of, do you think I am the kind of person who would tarnish my own name to benefit someone else?¡±


    Zuo Qiushi retorted with a question, and Hua Zijing and the others were left speechless.


    Indeed, Zuo Qiushi was strong, but he was not grand.


    ¡°Starting from tomorrow, Chen is the president of the student council, I have already submitted my application, you guys need to assist him well in future.¡±


    ¡°The application has just been submitted, can the Daoist Academy¡¯s academic affairs office approve it this quickly? And there¡¯s a chance that the Daoist Academy might not agree.¡±


    Hua Zijing and others were a little unwilling, after all, after Zuo Qiushi graduated, she was supposed to inherit his role.


    Although she didn¡¯t have any ambitions for this role, she still found it hard to accept the fact that a junior who had just denounced her yesterday was about to take over.


    ¡°No problem, the head of the academic affairs office is Chen¡¯s teacher, if he is still handling academic affairs, he will likely approve it by tonight upon seeing the application.¡±


    Zuo Qiushi said something that left Hua Zijing and others dumbfounded.


    So there was this kind of relationship!


    At this moment, a new email came to the student council¡¯s computer, it was an acknowledgement of Zuo Qiushi¡¯s resignation as the student council president and a recommendation for Chen Mobai to take over.


    There were only two words:


    [Agreed!]


    Ding ding ding!


    At the same time, a mass notification was sent to everyone¡¯s phones through the campus network of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    [After a period of internal selection, our academic affairs office agrees to have Chen Mobai from 5012 batch take over as the president of the Daoist Academy¡¯s student council for the new session. We hope under his leadership, the student council can continue to be the bridge and hub connecting all students, always keeping in mind the purpose of serving students, assisting teachers, and collaboratively building a beautiful campus.]


    Once this notification was released, it indicated that the matter was settled and even if Zuo Qiushi wanted to come back as president, it was impossible.


    Chen Mobai felt as if he was dreaming.


    It¡¯s all set?


    ¡°Zijing, Ming Yu, Renyou stay back, I have a few words to say to you.¡±


    At this moment, Zuo Qiushi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He introduced the three deputy presidents of the student council to Chen Mobai, and the other heads of departments had no choice but to leave reluctantly.


    Zuo Qiushi, being the most respected student council president in the Daoist Academy all these years, made a heartfelt speech. After that, the three people, Hua Zijing, promised not to let down the student council they had fought for over these years, and would assist the junior Chen Mobai well, continuing to play the role of the student council in the Daoist Academy.


    Among them, Ming Yu, who was beaten up by Chen Mobai once, seemed to be the most enthusiastic, as if he had completely accepted the situation.


    Hua Zijing was a bit unwilling at first, but she was a loyal follower of Zuo Qiushi, and when he asked her for help, she could only agree helplessly.


    The last one, Shen Renyou stood out a little less, with small eyes, big mouth, and a turned-up nose, his face looked a bit peculiar, his cultivation level was six levels of Foundation Establishment, second only to Zuo Qiushi.


    He hadn¡¯t been beaten up by Chen Mobai, and he was still a bit skeptical about Chen taking over, his eyes showing caution and hesitation.


    But he joined the student council only for the academic credits and benefits from the Map of Treasures. Since the matter was already settled, he just drifted with the current and acknowledged Chen Mobai¡¯s succession.


    ¡°Soon, you will know how correct my choice was.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Seeing that the three vice presidents agreed not to make trouble under his persuasion, Zuo Qiushi said these words while laughing and then got up and walked towards the exit.


    His era finally came to an end.


    It was tough to get to this point.


    At last, he didn¡¯t have to face those three monsters anymore.


    Thinking about this, Zuo Qiushi¡¯s footsteps got brisker and he disappeared at the door in a blink.

 Chapter 342 - Chapter 342: Chapter 273: Showing No Mercy_3

    Chapter 342: Chapter 273: Showing No Mercy_3


    ¡°For now, let¡¯s leave it at that. I do like holding an office, but I¡¯m not fond of managing things. Let¡¯s operate the student council as per his previous rules.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were very straightforward. Hua Zijing and the other two nodded their heads. This is what was agreed upon before Zuo Qiushi left.


    ¡°By the way, Chairman, here is the big list and schedule for attending the exchange meeting. Please check it.¡±


    Hua Zijing handed over a document, originally intended for Zuo Qiushi¡¯s approval. However, the latter had made a run for it and left the decision to Chen Mobai.


    He glanced at it and noticed that some names were highlighted in red.


    ¡°These are the candidates that the Daoist Academy decided on. They must be included.¡±


    Hua Zijing¡¯s words were very tactful, and Chen Mobai spotted both his and Meng Huang¡¯s names in the document.


    In other words, these were people with connections, and the student council couldn¡¯t do anything about it.


    Initially, Chen Mobai, who had little interest in the matter, perked up at the sight of the page with the performance schedule.


    ¡°Is this the program list for the millennial celebration? How did you guys get it?¡±


    ¡°The overall director of the program is our academy¡¯s team leader, Teacher Bian. He asked us to help maintain order during the performance. At that time, the majority of our student council will be deployed.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t care about that. He wouldn¡¯t object to the entire student council being deployed.


    What piqued his interest was seeing that the start of the millennial celebration program featured Meng Huang¡¯s solo performance of ¡°Like a Dream Order.¡±


    ¡°Is rehearsals happening every day?¡±


    He asked.


    ¡°Recently, it¡¯s every day, but as we approach the millennium celebration of Crimson City, the frequency may gradually decrease to prevent accidents.¡±


    ¡°As the newly appointed student council president, this is the first order of business. The millennium celebration involves the upper echelons of the immortal gates and student groups from the other three Daoist Academies. It concerns the overall image of the Daoist Academy. I believe it¡¯s necessary to do this as well as we can.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished reading, he closed the document in his hand and spoke with gravity.


    ¡°What¡­ does the president mean?¡±


    Hua Zijing seemed uncertain and asked, frowning.


    ¡°During the program rehearsal, I will personally lead the team to maintain order.¡±


    Chen Mobai disclosed his plan. With a few more listens to Meng Huang¡¯s song during his ¡°Merge Spirit Into One¡± practice, he should be able to master it.


    Hua Zijing and the others didn¡¯t overthink it. They felt that their new leader was setting an example, first showing himself in the most challenging and tiring positions to win their favor.


    ¡°I was originally in charge of this, but since the president is interested, I can take a rest.¡±


    Shen Renyou nodded and immediately handed over his position.


    When Chen Mobai returned to his wooden house, it still dazzled with rainbow lights.


    By that time, Meng Huang had completely let go of her reserve and had immediately sent a message over.

    [You said you were going to have a magic duel with Zuo Qiushi. How did you end up being the student council president?]


    [He lost to me in a magic duel and was defeated by my demeanor. He believes that among Daoist Academy students, only I am eligible to succeed him. I was initially not planning on taking over, but his constant persuasion made me change my mind. He said that without me, no one in the Daoist Academy could compete against the chiefs of the other Daoist Academies. Alas! With the reputation of the academy resting on me, how could I ignore such a heavy burden? Wouldn¡¯t that betray the kind teachings of our esteemed teachers? I had to step up. ]


    Chen Mobai spoke based on facts, slightly exaggerating his own achievements.


    However, Meng Huang¡¯s response made him feel cheated, as if he was stuck in a scheme by Zuo Qiushi.


    [Certainly, the previous years Zuo Qiushi managed to suppress Zong Zi from Jumang Daoist Academy, Ling Dao teacher from Repairing Heaven Institute, and Taishi Shu from Kunpeng Daoist Institute using his higher realm. However, this year, it is said that all three have broken through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment while he has shown no progress. He would definitely not win. Seeing you as a magic duel prodigy, he made a strategic retreat and removed himself from the situation.]

 Chapter 343 - Chapter 343: Chapter 274: Playing Gods and Controlling Qi_1

    Chapter 343: Chapter 274: Playing Gods and Controlling Qi_1


    Crimson City¡¯s Great Theater.


    In the center of the front row, Chen Mobai clasped his right hand into a fist and rested it on his cheek, his eyes half-closed as he listened to the celestial-like voice of Meng Huang rehearsing on stage.


    Next to him were Bian Yiqing, Hua Zijing, and other student council members.


    Chen Mobai was a man who kept his word.


    Even after chatting with Meng Huang and realizing that he might have been manipulated by Zuo Qiushi, he still held onto his words, never retreating from his commitment.


    Consequently, he spent the past few days personally leading the student council¡¯s key personnel, responding to Bian Yiqing¡¯s call, and coming to the cave in Crimson City to help.


    As expected, his integration with the Divine, which was slightly deficient, under the healing power of Meng Huang¡¯s song, completed its final stage of unity.


    In the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, a green paulownia with two branches and over twenty buds took root.


    This signified the formation of Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Consciousness, which was considered his personal destiny.


    If he were cultivating the ¡°Union of Differences¡± and using the non-physical puppet to infer, this would be the form of his integrating object.


    Unfortunately, the Rank-4 green paulownia in the Red Sandstone City was taken by Master Shi Qing; otherwise, he would really consider switching to ¡°The Union of Differences¡±.


    After all, Zhongli Tianyu served as a great example. If he could truly transform the green paulonia to his integrating object, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t need the Tree Fruit and could reach Foundation Establishment Perfection in a short time.


    But this was merely wishful thinking, as cultivating the ¡°Union of Differences¡± required even stricter criteria than the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Chen Mobai tried inferring it once with the non-physical puppet and found his compatibility with this divine transformation technique average.


    The Pure Yang Scroll suited him better. As long as he was armed with a Spirit Stone, it could step by step elevate his Fire Spirit Root to a Heavenly Spirit Root. There was no need to worry about elusive compatibility or chance.


    After merging the Divine into One, the Divine Manipulation Technique was trained to its final level¡­ ¡°Steering Ether with Wandering Mind¡±.


    At this realm level, reality and virtual space can be affected with Divine Consciousness.


    As a result of division and fusion, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Consciousness seemed to have undergone a transformation, elevating in quality.


    With a thought, a bud from the Green Paulownia rooted in the central Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion broke off from the branch, transforming into an intangible thought knife.


    This was the ¡°Divine Slash¡±!


    Against opponents with Divine Consciousness below his own, he could deliver a decisive kill in a split second.


    Even for opponents with higher Divine Consciousness levels, he could use this move to disrupt the opponent¡¯s mind and find the key to victory.


    If he had developed this move earlier, he wouldn¡¯t have been forced to reveal all his cards against Zuo Qiushi in order to win.


    Chen Mobai carefully counted; the green paulownia now had two branches, each bearing twenty-three buds, suggesting he could launch twenty-three ¡°Divine Slashes¡±.


    On two branches, apart from buds, there were two paulownia fruits.


    If Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate to use up the source of his Divine Consciousness and utilized the fruits to perform ¡°Divine Slash¡±, even a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator might not be able to withstand it.


    But his first thought was to continue to divide the Green Paulownia.


    After all, ¡°Divine Manipulation Technique¡± could be practiced repeatedly.


    Chen Mobai decided that after a while, when he adapted to the sudden doubling of his Divine Consciousness after integrating it into one, he would continue to split the Green Paulownia Seedling and divide his mind into thoughts.


    Moreover, with the increase in Divine Consciousness, he could consider refining the remaining half of the Green Wood Spirit Heart.


    ¡°President ¡­¡±


    Just as he was considering how to further enhance his abilities, a familiar voice from outside snapped him out of his thoughts.


    ¡°Hmm, has the rehearsal finished?¡±


    Chen Mobai woke up, opened his eyes, and looked at the stage, only to see that the performers were already tidying up various props.


    ¡°Yes, you said you would be leaving the rehearsal for another date with a superstar.¡±


    Hua Zijing said grumpily.


    Originally, she wasn¡¯t on the list for this exchange meeting. But Chen Mobai, feeling that he wasn¡¯t familiar with the student council members and would be exhausted if he led the team personally, specifically called her for help.


    He also enlisted Shen Renyou, who was originally in charge of this.


    Bian Yiqing was overjoyed to see Chen Mobai, the newly elected president of the student council, bring along two vice-presidents to help in person.


    But when Chen Mobai came backstage after rehearsal ended and had a brief chat with Meng Huang, Bian Yiqing realized that things weren¡¯t as straightforward as he thought.


    However, he was just a teacher and wouldn¡¯t attempt to forcefully interfere.


    Yet considering Chen Mobai¡¯s unclear relationship with that Heavenly Spirit Root in Danxia City, Bian Yiqing subtly reminded Meng Huang to see a man¡¯s true colors before making any commitments.


    Over this period, the relationship between Chen Mobai and Meng Huang gradually warmed, and two days ago, they even started dining out together.


    However, during the first dinner, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.


    Meng Huang brought along her senior fellow, Jiang Yuyuan, and Chen Mobai brought Hua Zijing as a cover.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The cautious interaction over the past few days between Chen Mobai and Meng Huang had left both Jiang Yuyuan and Hua Zijing feeling quite uncomfortable.


    Seeing that it was nearly time for lunch, Hua Zijing was rather unwilling.


    She didn¡¯t want to be the third wheel, and if it hadn¡¯t been for the chance to see the handsome Jiang Yuyuan, she would never have agreed to this.


    ¡°I have something to do today, so I¡¯ll go back first.¡±


    After merging the Divine into One, Chen Mobai¡¯s control over the latest realm of the Divine Manipulation Technique, ¡°Steering Ether with Wandering Mind¡±, was still slightly unstable, so he felt returning and closing himself off for a few days would be the better option.

 Chapter 344 - Chapter 344: Chapter 274: Traveling God Controls Qi_2

    Chapter 344: Chapter 274: Traveling God Controls Qi_2


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Hua Zijing had already done her make-up and even let loose her ponytail. She styled her hair to look beautiful, hoping to leave a good impression on Jiang Yuyuan.


    But then Chen Mobai said he wouldn¡¯t go for their meeting.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled. Just then, he noticed that Hua Zijing looked quite attractive today. She wore a black dress that accentuated her tall and fair figure. Her long and black hair draped over her shoulders. She was looking much more beautiful than the serious and dignified image she maintained during the student council meetings.


    ¡°Nothing¡­¡±


    Hua Zijing was forced to utter these three words through gritted teeth.


    ¡°Well then, I should leave now. After these few days of personal observation, I feel both of you are quite capable of maintaining the order,¡± Chen Mobai said.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    While Shen Renyou couldn¡¯t comprehend his words, Hua Zijing intuited what he meant and widened her eyes to ask him.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be coming from tomorrow. Inform me on the day of the official exchange meeting. I will show up to meet the representatives of the Daoist Academy,¡± Chen Mobai bluntly explained his plans.


    The entire student council was flabbergasted.


    What just happened?


    Wasn¡¯t he pursuing Meng Huang?


    How could he suddenly retreat when he was about to succeed?


    Is this a case of a new broom sweeps clean? But it happened too soon!


    No matter what they thought, Chen Mobai simply resumed his cultivation, shuttling only between the Treasure Trove and Xiao Nanshan after achieving his objective. He didn¡¯t even return to the small cottage he had rented.


    ¡°What happened? Did you reject him?¡±


    Two days later, Jiang Yuyuan, who hadn¡¯t seen Chen Mobai at his usual spot, asked Meng Huang with a puzzled expression. Meng Huang had the most complicated expression on her face that he had ever seen. There was resentment, grievance, distress, confusion, regret, and so on¡­


    She didn¡¯t understand why he suddenly gave up on her after only a few days of pursuit.


    Was it because she didn¡¯t make enough progress?


    If she had known, she would have agreed to meet him alone at the beginning.


    Why was he so impatient!


    Chen Mobai was completely oblivious to the complex thoughts of Meng Huang and her group. He happily took out the half of the sealed Emerald Wood Spirit Heart from his storage bag after solidifying his realm in the ¡°Wandering Spirit Qi Control¡±.


    The blue solution inside the glass bottle was frozen by Yan Bingxuan into a stone resembling a giant sapphire.


    Centred in the sapphire was the half piece of the Emerald Wood Spirit Heart.


    Chen Mobai rented a cultivation room from the Daoist Academy to ensure that no one would disturb him.


    With his previous experience of absorbing the spirit, he was not worried about refining it.


    However, due to the triple sealing and the need to maintain the effect of the Emerald Wood Spirit Heart without damaging it, he had to be extremely careful.


    Being proficient in the Divine Manipulation Technique and with increased level of his Divine Sense Realm, he meticulously worked on unsealing the seal.


    Following the seal breaking mantra left by Qing Nu and Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai began to dissolve their sealing power one by one on the Emerald Wood Spirit Heart.


    Time passed quickly.


    After fully absorbing the Emerald Wood Spirit Heart, Chen Mobai opened his eyes. If there was someone in the cultivation room, they would have seen an invisible and shapeless sword in his eyes, extremely captivating.


    He felt his Sea of Knowledge in the Purple Palace. The space that was originally occupied by the Green Paulownia Seedling had expanded again, taking up only one sixth of his Sea of Knowledge. This happened after the absorption of the Emerald Wood Spirit Heart, which had initially occupied about a quarter of the space.


    Chen Mobai checked his data and found that the space of his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion had already reached the level of cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    To put it in other words, when he was in the early Foundation Establishment stage, due to the refining of the entire Bimu Spirit Heart to open up the Purple Mansion, he was able to enhance his Divine Sense to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Right now, he only expanded the container of the Purple Mansion, and his Divine Sense has not been upgraded to the extreme.


    But soon, Chen Mobai picked a flower fruit from his Divine Wood Bimu WuTong which has started Divine Consciousness Forming, and divided his mind into thoughts and planted it on the other side of the Purple Mansion.


    The drops of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew fell, and a tender shoot slowly sprouted.


    Once this Green Paulownia Seedling grows up, he can repeat the process of integrating the divine self into the whole to greatly increase his Divine Sense.


    Just as expected, the two batches of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew refined by Wang Xingyu this time contained no Danless Poison. He handed them over to Chen Mobai with a sigh of relief, stating that if he failed again this time, he would have a Heart Demon even if he were to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Chen Mobai believed that Wang Xingyu¡¯s attitude was wrong. The alchemists in the Tianhe Realm always boldly claimed that the employer should bear all the losses of the failed alchemy, and if they succeeded, they would take another 20-30% as refining fees.


    However, because of this, the alchemists in the Tianhe Realm were bolder and braver than one another.


    They dared to refine any pill without worrying about the amount of Danless Poison. As long as it did not kill people, it was considered to have fulfilled the commission and the alchemy was successful.


    At Xiao Nanshan, if it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai¡¯s intervention, those spiritual wines experimented by Zhuo Ming and the two disciples from the Alchemy Section would have been sold in their shop by his little disciple.


    With much persuasion, stern looks and some scolding, Zhuo Ming finally felt a bit reluctant to feed these spiritual wines to the spirit mice bought by Liu Wenbo from the Spirit Beast Section.


    After this incident, Chen Mobai set a rule.


    All newly produced spiritual wines needed to be fed to spirit mice for over a year to confirm their safety before they could be sold in his shop in the Divine Wood City.


    Although Zhuo Ming and Liu Wenbo didn¡¯t understand, the master in the Tianhe Realm is equivalent to heaven, and they could only obey the orders.


    After dealing with this matter, Chen Mobai was concerned about the issue of the Void Dark Stone Vein, but this was kept top secret in the Divine Wood Sect, so he had to visit Yan Jinye.


    As expected, Yan Jinye knew some inside information. After all, she was the discoverer of Lonely Spirit Ridge, and also the direct lineage of Master Zhou. Many things were not hidden from her.


    ¡°Although the Void Stone Mine in Lonely Spirit Ridge is not as good as the one in the Five Elements Sect, it greatly surpasses the one in Shake Mountain. It should be a small to medium mine. Master Zhou even took the time to visit personally.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai became even more curious.


    ¡°Is the Void Stone Mine in Lonely Spirit Ridge already under excavation now?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t really know about this. Master Zhou is paying great attention to this matter and Hall Master Reward Virtue is personally in charge. However, many elders of the Foundation Establishment Stage in our Divine Wood Sect have broken away from the Five Elements Sect. There are probably many hidden spies from the other realms. If there is too much movement, it simply cannot be concealed. It should be the head of the Spirit Vein Section leading a few trusted people to mine on a small scale.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded slightly.


    This matter could be told to him, which shows that within the Divine Wood Sect, he was truly considered as one of their own.


    However, this is understandable. After all, his origin is clear.


    From Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment, he had been advancing all the way under the watchful eyes of the Divine Wood Sect, coupled with his extraordinary talent, at least in the future, he would be invincible under the Gold Core Realm, so the upper echelons of the sect already regard him as one of the future helmsman.


    After chatting with Yan Jinye for a while and learning the information he wanted, Chen Mobai bid farewell and left.


    After cultivating the Divine Slash, his cultivation had no short-term goals.


    Apart from practicing spells daily, he was using Spirit Stones to propel the progress of his Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    Sometimes, he really thought about directly taking the three treasures for Foundation Establishment and activating the Pure Yang Scroll Foundation Establishment.


    He didn¡¯t know if he had the opportunity to successfully cultivate his foundation through enlightenment.


    Just when Chen Mobai was bored enough to start using the Map of Treasures to compare all the Dead Seal Device Balls he had seen, Hua Zijing finally sent him a message.


    The big people of the fairy gate had arrived.


    This meant that this year¡¯s Crimson City Skyhole University League Exchange Conference had finally begun.

    ¡°You actually look quite impressive in this outfit.¡±


    In the three-story villa of the Student Union, in the president¡¯s office on the third floor, with Hua Zijing¡¯s help, Chen Mobai put on the Dance Instruments Red and Black Robe that the Artifact Refining Department had urgently woven during this period.


    Since he was often in the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai usually dressed in ancient style, and his black hair had long been grown out.


    Paired with this black bottom red stripe wide sleeve robe, he looked like the villainous young masters in ancient dramas. His entire person was elegant and solemn within his elegance, but these two contrasting temperaments perfectly merged into one in him, making the eyes of Hua Zijing, who was used to Zuo Qiushi¡¯s powerful bearing, light up.


    This person looks kind of good in formal wear!

 Chapter 345 - Chapter 345: Chapter 275 Little Red Sky_1

    Chapter 345: Chapter 275 Little Red Sky_1


    The important figure from the Immortal Sect was named Gongye Zhixu.


    He was one of the two Vice Hall Masters of the Xianwu Hall, and he may even become the Lord of the Immortal Sect in the future.


    The overall system of the Immortal Sect was interesting.


    Among the three Halls, the Xianwu Hall with general management of everything was the highest institution of the Immortal Sect.


    The Master of the Xianwu Hall was known as the Lord of the Immortal Sect.


    Therefore, the Vice Hall Master of the Xianwu Hall could be considered the most important person in the Immortal Sect, second only to the three Hall Masters.


    Gongye Zhixu was born in the Primordial Elemental Academy and his cultivation level was Gold Core. He was not even two hundred years old, and was at the peak of his youth. If he succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation, it was highly probable that he could succeed the present Xianwu Hall Master, who was nearing retirement at nearly continuous eight hundred years of age.


    Unfortunately, in a resource-poor place like Deyuan Star, achieving Nascent Soul Formation could be described as extremely difficult.


    Gongye Zhixu was a prodigy and, because the Primordial Elemental Academy was near his home, gave up the opportunity to go to the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    At thirty-three, he reached Perfection of Foundation Establishment. To acquire resources for Core Formation, he joined Xianwu Hall. After moving between various departments and serving people at the grassroots level for sixty years, he finally received a Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, and achieved Core Formation with one attempt.


    However, after Core Formation there was still Nascent Soul Formation.


    In Immortal Sect, the three kinds of Infant Forming Spirit Medicines¡ªInfant-Feeding Elixir, Infant-Accumulating Elixir, and Infant-Transforming Elixir¡ªwere extremely valuable, and could not be bought using Good Deed Points, thus making them invaluable treasures.


    The orthodox way to acquire them was to serve the people; if your governance was recognized by the Immortal Sect, then you could procure the Infant Forming Spirit Medicines from the treasury of the Immortal Sect.


    Gongye Zhixu was a practitioner of this orthodox path.


    However, he gradually realized that there wasn¡¯t enough time.


    Gold Core had a lifespan of eight Jiazi, which was 480 years. Establishing a nascent soul before the decline from peak vigor would undoubtedly have the highest success rate.


    Gongye Zhixu had already passed his two hundredth birthday. Although he had many longevity elixirs, the time left for Nascent Soul Formation was at most only a hundred years.


    Despite serving the Immortal Sect for over a hundred years, he had only obtained an Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    The remaining two types of Infant Forming Spirit Medicine weren¡¯t achievable in time if he continued to pursue the orthodox way.


    Albeit in the history of the Immortal Sect, there had been the rare fortunate ones who succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation with just an Infant-Feeding Elixir, Gongye Zhixu still wanted to be more prepared.


    Five years ago, fluctuations began in the ¡°Realm Gate¡±, the supreme treasure of the Immortal Sect heritage.


    This indicated that a different world was approaching Deyuan Star.


    Therefore, after consulting with the three Hall Masters, Gongye Zhixu began preparing for a conquest war.


    The Immortal Sect didn¡¯t have enough resources to refine the Infant-Accumulating Elixir and the Infant-Transforming Elixir, hence they had to pin their hopes on the newly discovered parallel world.


    Regrettably, although the ¡°Realm Gate¡± had detected the existence of the different world, the passage could not yet be opened due to the vast distance between the two realms.


    According to the calculations by the Astral Observation Academy, it would likely take a century for the two realms to draw close.


    A century was precisely the last peak period for Gongye Zhixu.


    Not only him, many Gold Core cultivators within the Opening Origin Hall who were stuck due to the lack of Infant Forming Spirit Medicine, also saw this as an opportunity to go further.


    Even a few Nascent Soul rankers sitting at the peak of the Immortal Sect had been awakened by the fluctuations of the Realm Gate.


    After all, above the Nascent Soul, there was the realm of Divinity Transformation.


    Everyone wanted to ascend further.


    However, regarding the strength of the different world caught by the Realm Gate, it was necessary to confirm it as soon as possible before the two realms drew close.


    If it was excessively powerful, the Immortal Sect could only conceal its trace and hope to remain undiscovered.


    If it had average power and sufficient resources, then they would certainly wage a conquest war.


    So, five years ago, the peaceful Immortal Sect started to consciously train the combat consciousness of the next generation.


    Over these years, Gongye Zhixu had gathered the best prodigies from hundreds of fields within the Immortal Sect to reopen the closed Little Red Sky in preparation for this event.


    Before Chen Mobai¡¯s team departed for Crimson City Cave, he specifically visited Che Yucheng, who told him about the main policy directions of the Immortal Sect in recent years.


    When he heard terms such as ¡®different world¡¯, ¡®Realm Gate¡¯, and ¡®capture¡¯, there was an undeniable shock in his eyes and expression.


    However, it was normal for anyone to be more stunned than Chen Mobai when exposed to these secrets, so Che Yucheng didn¡¯t take any notice.


    On the other hand, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help wondering, would the different world captured by the Realm Gate happen to be the ¡°Tianhe Realm¡±?


    If so, hadn¡¯t he successfully infiltrated in advance?


    Nevertheless, he had done quite well in Tianhe Realm. If a war between the two realms was forthcoming, wouldn¡¯t all his efforts in these years be in vain?


    Additionally, there were a few monks who had ascended in Tianhe Realm before, so no one knew if there was any connection between the lower and upper realms.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If those ascended monks intervened at the critical moment of the conquest of a new world, the Immortal Sect might suffer greatly.


    He needed to find a way to ascertain whether the world caught by the Realm Gate was the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°What is Little Red Sky?¡±


    His thoughts and words were completely contradictory. In order to prevent Che Yucheng from noticing his anomalies, Chen Mobai asked another question he was interested in.


    ¡°It¡¯s a virtual reality world, a masterpiece of the first generation of Immortal Sect¡¯s founder when he was Cultivating Void. You can project your power into it. While experiencing various trials, you can also interact and practice against each other to enhance your combat awareness and ability.¡±

 Chapter 346 - Chapter 346: Chapter 275 Little Red Sky_2

    Chapter 346: Chapter 275 Little Red Sky_2


    ¡°Does the Immortal Sect have this kind of thing? Why didn¡¯t they take it out before?¡±


    Chen Mobai expressed great confusion about this.


    ¡°This object is equivalent to a rank-6 spiritual treasure, once activated it consumes huge amounts of nature¡¯s spiritual energy every moment. It¡¯s only before wars of the scale of world creation that the Immortal Sect would power it up, using it to enhance the overall magical duel level of the sect.¡±


    Che Yucheng, as an experienced Gold Core of the Immortal Sect, once acting as a revolving commissioner of the Open Yuan Hall, is one of the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect himself.


    So he is very clear about Gongye Zhixu, Little Red Sky, and the Realm Door.


    When his disciple, Chen Mobai came to ask, he did not hide anything, but told him everything he knew.


    ¡°After Little Red Sky is activated, the spiritual energy supplied to the masses of the Immortal Sect would be lowered by a rank, but the most pitiable is our Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    Che Yucheng sighed, he had already received the notice that the opening of Rank-5 Spirit Vein at Crimson Mountain was prohibited from now on.


    Because operating Little Red Sky requires a large amount of nature¡¯s spiritual energy, and only the energy from the Spirit Vein of Crimson Mountain, among the four rank-5 Spirit Veins of the Immortal Sect, meets its requirements.


    So when he heard that Gongye Zhixu was coming, he had already guessed this point.


    But when he received the formal document from the Immortal Sect, Che Yucheng still felt a little heavy-hearted.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai looked indignant.


    But he immediately thought that Rank-5 Spirit Vein wouldn¡¯t be available for him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, to use anyway, so he simply lambasted the Immortal Sect verbally.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t the Dean object to it?¡±


    The rank-5 Spirit Vein at Crimson Mountain undoubtedly belongs to the Dean of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    If he, as a Nascent Soul elder, dissent, the Immortal Sect presumably would not forcibly requisition the Spirit Vein of Crimson Mountain.


    ¡°The dean is already past half his lifespan, he may have a chance of Divinity Transformation by initiating the opening of the world. Although slim, it¡¯s still higher than vainly waiting for the ephemeral Shocking God Sonata.¡±


    Hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai seemed to understand.


    It turns out the Dean also supports this war of opening the world, no wonder when Gongye Zhixu requisitioned the rank-5 Spirit Vein at Crimson Mountain, he didn¡¯t explicitly show any disapproval.


    ¡°What do I need to do within Little Red Sky?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, Che Yucheng nodded, laying down a requirement for him.


    ¡°In Little Red Sky, the magic duel shows rankings. As the current premier representative of our Dance Tool Dao Academy, you can only aim to be number one.¡±


    ¡°Master, I won¡¯t say I don¡¯t have confidence in myself, but after all I¡¯ve only just started my Foundation Establishment, I might be able to beat Zuo Qiushi, but if I encounter Lan Haitian or a Gold Core and Nascent Soul, even ten of me together wouldn¡¯t be their match.¡±


    Chen Mobai grimaced, indicating his inability to achieve the task.


    ¡°Rest assured, Little Red Sky has a perfect matching system, you will only encounter opponents of similar levels, it won¡¯t let you challenge levels above yours.¡±


    ¡°That means, the strongest opponent matched to me would be at the third layer of Foundation Establishment, isn¡¯t that bullying!¡±


    Chen Mobai widened his eyes, looking utterly incredulous.


    It¡¯s not that he wanted to brag.


    He couldn¡¯t believe that there is any third-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Immortal Sect who can withstand his sword!


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Of course, if your number of victories is too many, Little Red Sky will raise your hidden score, and you might encounter opponents from the fourth to sixth stages of Foundation Establishment. However, at this point even if you lose, you would have already brought honor to our Daoist Academy.¡±


    Che Yucheng knows the magical duel capabilities of his disciple. Under the Sword Rainbow Fission, he stands undefeated across stages of early Foundation Establishment.


    It indeed seems a bit like bullying.


    But in the middle stages of Foundation Establishment, there are indeed some extraordinarily talented figures with deep foundations that his Sword Light might not necessarily overcome.


    But just as Che Yucheng said, as long as Chen Mobai can show his usual strength, even if he loses to someone from the sixth stage of Foundation Establishment, he would have already brought honor to the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Master, I feel that there is no challenge in facing opponents below the seventh stage of Foundation Establishment, which is not conducive to refining my skills in magical duel. And since I became the student council president, part of it is for the purpose of interacting and learning from the number ones of the other three major Daoist Academies, now that the realm separates us, I feel a bit regretful about not being able to test myself.¡±


    Chen Mobai said something that left Che Yucheng speechless.


    ¡°First, beat all the opponents at the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment, and besides, after they enter Little Red Sky, they might not have time to bother with you.¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s words left Chen Mobai very puzzled.


    But when he arrived at the Crimson Sky Cave with Hua Zijing and the other student council members, he immediately understood the reason.


    On the gigantic screen in the center of the cave¡¯s main square, nine separate panels were displayed. Some showed rankings, while others showed magic duels taking place in the Little Red Sky.


    In the center, the screen was divided into three panels that displayed the chiefs from the three major Daoist Academies.


    In the upper right corner of the tri-screen magic duel displays, a number of 100+ in matching was shown.


    This meant that at least three hundred cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage who got the internal test quota had initiated ranked challenges against the chiefs of the three major Daoist Academies.


    In this, no one knew how many were at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. It was estimated that there were also cultivators at the perfection of the Fake Core Realm.


    Everyone seeks fame.


    Challenging the chiefs of the four major Daoist Academies is no doubt the most attention-grabbing. If one could defeat them, it would boast their superiority and even cast doubts on the worthiness of the four great Daoist Academies.


    No wonder Che Yucheng said the other three chiefs of the Daoist Academies did not have the time to acknowledge him, because there were just too many people lining up to challenge them.


    ¡°Mobai, you¡¯re finally here?¡±


    Bian Yiqing, Jiang Yuyuan, and Meng Huang came over. When they saw him, they visibly sighed in relief.


    Gongye Zhixu had arrived. Bian Yiqing led Meng Huang and other artists to perform at the grand theatre as a welcoming gesture. Chen Mobai was not interested in this event and had stayed home in quiet cultivation.


    When Little Red Sky opened, the chiefs of the other three major Daoist Academies were present and were each given a place by Gongye Zhixu on the spot.


    The three leading figures did not shrink away and had already begun to face the large-scale multiplayer assault.


    As the leader of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Bian Yiqing received twenty places from Gongye Zhixu.


    Many from the student council had entered, including Zuo Qiushi who had already graduated and managed to get a place.


    However, whether they have it or not doesn¡¯t matter, because the only academy left from the Four Daoist Academies was the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Because Chen Mobai didn¡¯t show up yesterday, and someone with ulterior motives found out that he had just reached the first level of Foundation Establishment last year, whispers had already begun to circulate.


    Fear of war, retreat, cowardice, the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s five-thousand-year reputation is going to be ruined by his hands¡­


    Hua Zijing selectively mentioned some rumors, originally hoping to stimulate Chen Mobai, but he remained completely unmoved.


    Compared to the comments he used to receive online, these words seemed quite childish.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t Senior Zuo Qiu also enter? How has he performed?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t rush to enter the Little Red Sky but instead asked about Zuo Qiushi¡¯s performance.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, he competed in five rounds, with three wins and two losses, barely maintaining a positive record.¡±


    Hua Zijing was absolutely loyal to her previous leader. Not only did she give Zuo Qiushi¡¯s internal test account, but she also kept a close eye on his performance since he entered Little Red Sky.


    As soon as Chen Mobai asked, she knew everything.


    Who he fought against, which level of Foundation Establishment they were, what cultivation methods they were good at, reasons for winning or losing, etc., she explained everything in precise detail.


    ¡°Alas, it¡¯s good that he fled quickly. Otherwise, as the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, this performance would not be presentable, losing the majesty of our academy.¡±


    Hua Zijing was enthusiastically talking when she heard Chen Mobai¡¯s comment, her complexion changed from pale to a bluish-white.


    Ming Yu, Shen Renyou, and other student council members who were nearby looked elsewhere, pretending not to hear.


    Chen Mobai dared to talk like this, they didn¡¯t dare to respond.


    However, in their hearts, the student council members agreed with Chen Mobai¡¯s comment.


    After all, the chiefs of the three major Daoist Academies have fought ten battles since yesterday, every fight ending with a crushing victory. Their performance was extremely satisfying.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Compared to them, Zuo Qiushi¡¯s performance was indeed a bit embarrassing.


    ¡°Chairman, why don¡¯t you give it a try? After all, as the current Chief, the academy needs you to honor us!¡±


    By the time Hua Zijing said the last two words, her teeth were gritting.


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s face was full of determination.


    ¡°Defending the honor of the academy is a duty we cannot decline.¡±

 Chapter 347 - Chapter 347: Chapter 276: Orthodoxy of Crimson City in Pure Yang_1

    Chapter 347: Chapter 276: Orthodoxy of Crimson City in Pure Yang_1


    Chen Mobai¡¯s righteous demeanor left officials like Hua Zijing from the student council feeling ashamed.


    Even Bian Yiqing, the veteran musical dao grandmaster, was extremely impressed.


    The deep sense of proud honor that this young man had for the Dance Tool Dao Academy made him, as a teacher, feel a bit inferior.


    Behind Bian Yiqing, Meng Huang looked at Chen Mobai with traces of resentment in her eyes. However, upon hearing his words, she couldn¡¯t help but think that maybe it was the immense pressure of carrying the honor of the Daoist Academy that made him give up on their romance.


    ¡°Quick, look, Daoist Mentor Ling lost.¡±


    At that moment, whispers swept across the square.


    Chen Mobai and the others immediately looked up at the big screen. In the center grid, representing the top student of the Repairing Heaven Institute, daoist mentor Ling took a hit to the chest and slowly faded away, his brow furrowed.


    In magic duels within Little Red Sky, because both sides are projections, there¡¯s no need to worry about casualties, and one can freely use their most powerful and ruthless spells.


    Of course, it¡¯s limited to spells.


    Because magic artifacts from the outside world cannot be brought into the illusory world of Little Red Sky.


    ¡°It seems that there are still capable people in Academies from other Immortal Sects. And here I thought that I would only be able to bestow defeat on the top students from the three great Daoist Academies after my arrival.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words, unveiled, immediately drew the attention of the rest of the academy¡¯s students in the square.


    Many wanted to know who possessed such arrogance to speak such words.


    But when they saw a youth surrounded by members of the student council, dressed in the red and black robe of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, they all couldn¡¯t help but gasped in shock.


    ¡°The last top student from the Four Daoist Academies has finally appeared.¡±


    ¡°Is it Zuo Qiushi?¡±


    ¡°Zuo Qiushi is a thing of the past. The newly appointed top student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy is a newcomer who has only been enrolled for five years and is at the foundation establishment stage.¡±


    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that be a disaster? After all, when Little Red Sky opened in our Crimson City, without Zuo Qiushi, won¡¯t the Dance Tool Dao Academy, as the local snake, be dominated by the top students from the other three great Daoist Academies?¡±


    ¡°What do you know? Even though Zuo Qiushi graduated, he entered Little Red Sky just yesterday. Without the aid of the Co-participation Legal Device, he¡¯s merely a middle-grade foundation establishment cultivator.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s even worse, there¡¯s not even an excuse.¡±


    Hearing the words of the bystander, veins bulged on Hua Zijing¡¯s snow-white forehead.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she represented the Dance Tool Dao Academy, she wouldn¡¯t have been able to hold back her rebuttal on the spot.


    Didn¡¯t they see that the top student from the Repairing Heaven Institute just lost?


    It was normal for former president Zuo Qiu to lose.


    ¡°What is the background of this person?¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai pointed at the person who defeated Daoist Instructor Ling with great interest. The man wore a calm expression, his sharp eyes under his unibrow were full of unprecedented confidence.


    Indeed, anyone who faced down the top student from the Repairing Heaven Institute and defeated them in front of an audience would unquestionably feel a sense of supreme honor.


    And this honor could bring the winner confidence that surpassed everything.


    ¡°He¡¯s the top student from the Pure Yang Academy seven years back, Sima Xingyu.¡±


    The one who answered him was Ming Yu.


    ¡°You know him?¡±


    Chen Mobai was surprised.


    ¡°Seven years ago, I had just joined the student council. I accompanied the then-president to that term¡¯s exchange meet. This Sima Xingyu was already shining brightly, only falling short of the top students from the Four Daoist Academies at that time.¡±


    Listening to Ming Yu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai nodded slightly.


    The screen showed Sima Xingyu¡¯s cultivation level: eight layers of Foundation Establishment.


    This person was also based on Pure Yang Scroll and was a sword cultivator. He should be practicing ¡°Primordial Yang Sword Secret,¡± which is considered second only to the Immortal Sect¡¯s sword secret.


    Daoist Instructor Ling had just broken through to the seventh layer of the Foundation Establishment stage this year. Although he was already dazzling as the top student of the Repairing Heaven Institute, it was understandable that he was defeated facing Sima Xingyu, who had higher cultivation and stronger cultivation techniques.


    ¡°Taishi Shu also lost.¡±


    At this moment, another focal point, the top student of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, a plain-looking but elegantly mannered young girl, looked at her right arm, which had been chopped off at the elbow, in disbelief.


    Across from her was a man with a bald, eyebrow-less head and a red face covered in wiry facial hair.


    With a look of arrogance, he stood tall in mid-air, made a chopping motion with his don juan sword, and Taishi Shu¡¯s Yuan Magnet force field completely collapsed under the extremely overbearing Yuan Yang Sword Qi. She was split in two.


    Her defeat was even more complete than Daoist Instructor Ling¡¯s.


    After defeating Taishi Shu, the bearded bald man laughed boastfully, basking in arrogance.


    ¡°Who is this mighty warrior?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with interest.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t met him, but I heard legends about him when I was a kid. If my memory serves me right, he should be the top student from the Pure Yang Academy twenty years ago, known as ¡®Xiahou Weihuan of the Crimson Sword¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Xiahou Weihuan¡­ a good name.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered, and looked at Xiahou Weihuan, now at the center of the screen, with admiration.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The top-left corner of the screen displayed his cultivation level: ninth layer of Foundation Establishment.


    However, based on what Chen Mobai saw just now when he defeated Taishi Shu, this man seemed to have already achieved the perfection stage of Foundation Establishment.


    Although being at the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment during one¡¯s term as a top student of a Daoist Academy is already an extraordinary achievement.


    But when faced with the people from Pure Yang Academy who bullied the weak, they could only swallow their defeat.


    After all, with the combination of Pure Yang Scroll and Primordial Yang Sword Secret, even in the Four Daoist Academies, it would be considered top-tier.

 Chapter 348 - Chapter 348: Chapter 276 Crimson City Orthodoxy in Pure Yang_2

    Chapter 348: Chapter 276 Crimson City Orthodoxy in Pure Yang_2


    ¡°So, the only one left is Zong Zi of Jumang Daoist Academy.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he turned to look at the chief student idol of the academy, taking up the gazes of everyone on the big screen in the square.


    His opponent was from Pure Yang Academy as well, but Zong Zi¡¯s cultivation technique, the Spring Divine Cultivation, was known for its endurance. Even if his opponent¡¯s realm surpassed his, they were unable to finish the battle quickly.


    This resulted in a stalemate.


    Despite this, the chiefs of the three major Daoist Academies lost face in front of Pure Yang Academy, forfeiting their previously invincible aura.


    In a flash, everyone in the Thirty-Six Celestial Heavens and the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands, who were witnessing the grand opening of Little Red Sky, were lost in vigorous discussion.


    At this moment, Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s comment on the big screen caused many people from the Dance Tool Dao Academy to blush with shame.


    He said: ¡°The orthodox lineage of Crimson City is in Pure Yang!¡±


    The look of admiration Chen Mobai had previously given him turned into dislike.


    ¡°Nice name, but unfortunate character.¡±


    After this remark filled with disgust, Chen Mobai asked Bian Yiqing how he could join Little Red Sky.


    ¡°I have twenty places gifted by Gongye Zhixu, and I¡¯ve already registered you as chief.¡±


    Bian Yiqing said this, asking Chen Mobai to take out his student badge for activation.


    ¡°Little Red Sky has just launched and is currently in its testing phase. Everyone entering will have their real names verified. Once you¡¯re in there, like them, you will have the status of Dance Tool Daoist Academy Chief. You¡¯ll be the target of everyone¡¯s enmity.¡±


    After the activation, there was a worrying look in Bian Yiqing¡¯s eyes.


    The former unbeatable chiefs of the three major Daoist Academies had already suffered two losses and one draw. And this was only because Little Red Sky just started open sessions for the Daoist Academies.


    If access to Little Red Sky was granted to everyone within the Thirty-Six Celestial Heavens and Seventy-Two Blessed lands, countless late stage Foundation Establishment cultivators might emerge from universities and various organizations.


    In order to prove themselves and gain fame, the first opponents these people would choose to challenge would surely be the chiefs of the Four Major Daoist Academies.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage won¡¯t be matched with me.¡±


    Chen Mobai appeared completely unfazed.


    Upon hearing his words, Bian Yiqing was momentarily shocked before finally understanding the matchmaking mechanism of Little Red Sky. An understanding glow appeared on his face,


    Soon, though, he felt a twinge of annoyance.


    Among the Four Major Daoist Academies, the chief of their Dance Tool Daoist Academy was not a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. If this got out, it would be quite embarrassing.


    If Zuo Qiushi hadn¡¯t graduated yet¡­


    The moment this thought crossed Bian Yiqing¡¯s mind, he considered how Zuo Qiushi¡¯s mediocre performance due to his lack of Magic Artifacts would have looked had he projected himself into the event. He then felt that having Chen Mobai as chief wasn¡¯t so bad after all.


    After all, Chen Mobai could easily sweep the ranks of early to mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    As long as he wasn¡¯t matched with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and he didn¡¯t lose, he would always have an excuse.


    While Bian Yiqing was thinking, Chen Mobai had already completed his projection.


    He was physically standing in the square of Crimson City, but felt as if his senses had split in two. It was as if another version of himself had entered a dream. Although he couldn¡¯t feel his physical body, he could use any cultivation technique or spell he had learned.


    Not long after his projection, the middle screen that had gone dark due to Ling Daoshi¡¯s loss suddenly displayed an image of Chen Mobai dressed in the Dance Tool Daoist Academy¡¯s Red and Black Robe.


    The top right corner displayed his identification and basic information.


    [Certified incumbent Chief of Dance Tool Daoist Academy!]


    [Foundation Establishment First Level!]


    This was like a lighthouse in the night or a star in the dark, instantly capturing the attention of all the early and middle-stage Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who had projected themselves into Little Red Sky, but had not been matched due to insufficient cultivation levels.


    In a flash, Hua Zijing noticed the matching number at the upper right corner of the screen, which was initially zero, skyrocket to over 100, similar to the other three chiefs of the major Daoist Academies.


    ¡°Did Dance Tool Daoist Academy run out of people? They¡¯ve sent someone who is barely in the Foundation Establishment stage.¡±


    ¡°Having a Rank-5 Spirit Vein conscripted by the celestial flower shrine, they might actually be surpassed by Pure Yang Academy and fall out of the top four.¡±


    ¡°I wonder who the first lucky person is?¡±


    The lively discussions among the spectators in the square filled Meng Huang with mixed feelings. She was angry at the audience¡¯s disregard for Chen Mobai, yet hoped he would embarrass himself, punishing the jerk who had toyed with her feelings.


    At this time, Zong Zi from Jumang Daoist Academy, hailed for his substantial health and spiritual power, managed to grind down his opponent from Pure Yang Academy, emerging as the only chief with a flawless record.


    Following this magic duel, Zong Zi decided against matching with another opponent, instead choosing to exit Little Red Sky.


    Unlike the ten opponents who were easily defeated yesterday, today¡¯s were obviously prepared.


    He needed to carefully consider his tactics and strategies to maintain his unbeaten record.


    Thus, within the Little Red Sky, only one chief of the Daoist Academy remained.


    Chen Mobai.


    In the dormitory of Starlight Institute, Wanyu, who was watching the highlight reel of Little Red Sky with her roommates, blushed slightly at the sight of Chen Mobai.


    [He actually became the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.]


    Soon, under the gaze of cultivators from all over the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai clicked the match button in the top right corner.


    A flash of fire flickered, and the first lucky one appeared in front of everyone.


    Looking at this opponent, Chen Mobai showed a surprised expression.


    It was actually someone he had seen before.


    ¡°It¡¯s me! Hahaha, heaven has eyes, I didn¡¯t expect to have this opportunity to inflict the most painful defeat on you, the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, in front of billions of beings in the Immortal Gate.¡±


    With a buzz cut, black vest and pants, revealing muscular arms and shoulders, along with tattoos, the whole person looked extremely strong and dangerous.


    ¡°Congratulations, lucky one, what¡¯s your name again, Bra?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Wen Xiong!¡±


    The buzz-cut youth was Wen Xiong, who was slapped in the face by Chen Mobai on the train using the admission letter from the Dance Tool Dao Academy. He had actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage.


    However, considering that he was a student of Pure Yang Academy, his talent must be excellent. It¡¯s understandable that he could reach Foundation Establishment stage after five years.


    ¡°Alright, I remembered. After all, you will be the first to be defeated by me in the Little Red Sky. Your name will be remembered by history, along with my legend.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai raised his right hand.


    Actually, he could use Divine Slash to silently crush Wen Xiong¡¯s divine sense, but that would lack sound and visual effects.


    What was he here for?


    He was here to make his name known all over the world and restore the glory of the Dance Tool Dao Academy!


    Every Magic Duel should not only be won cleanly, but also astonish all spectators.


    So that everyone knows that Chen Mobai, the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, is invincible in the early and mid Foundation Establishment stages!


    ¡°Just be stubborn, I will turn you into ashes under the Burn Heaven Great Method!¡±


    But Wen Xiong was even more confident in himself. Either the whole Pure Yang Academy had already decided to replace the Dance Tool Dao Academy, or he just didn¡¯t like Chen Mobai and wanted to defeat him in front of the public to wash away his shame from his Heart Demon.


    ¡°Die! Burn Heaven¡­¡±


    Wen Xiong¡¯s words were contemptuous, but his actions were very serious. He used his most powerful Sky-burning Linghuo from the start.


    Then, he only saw a brilliant deep purple sword light.


    When the sword light slashed across, his avatar in Little Red Sky turned into ashes.


    He was unable to withstand even a single blow!


    How is this possible?


    Wen Xiong, standing on the other side of the square, widened his eyes in disbelief.


    When Wanyu from Starlight Institute saw this, she clenched her small, snowy white fist in victory.


    At this time, Chen Mobai had clicked the match button again.


    The second opponent had arrived.


    The first impression is always the most impactful.

    For this opponent, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t even bother to ask his name.


    As the opponent was about to speak, he was met with a brilliant deep purple sword light.


    Another one-shot!


    After seeing the second opponent turn into ashes, the entire Immortal Gate was stunned.


    ¡°Those who can withstand my single blow may leave their names.¡±

 Chapter 349 - Chapter 349: Chapter 277: Superior Tactics_1

    Chapter 349: Chapter 277: Superior Tactics_1


    A sword.


    A sword.


    Still a sword.


    After twenty battles, Chen Mobai left Little Red Sky with an indifferent expression on his face.


    Among the true cultivators who paired up with him for the Foundation Establishment, some were from the two hundred and twenty houses, some were from the Top Ten Academies, and there was even one from the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Yet, none of them could withstand his strike.


    ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you at the same time tomorrow.¡±


    After saying this sentence, Chen Mobai turned and left the square.


    The dozens of students in the student council immediately followed.


    Since half of them were wearing the Daoist Academy¡¯s red and black long robes, they looked like a red and black sunset cloud when walking together, exerting an incomparable oppressive feeling.


    ¡°Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s red and black robe, it¡¯s been a long time since I saw this scene.¡±


    On the rooftop of a building to the right of the square, a middle-aged man with gray-black hair and a kind face stroked his long beard, expressing his nostalgia.


    He watched the bustling crowd on the street below involuntarily part to make way for the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s students.


    ¡°This kid is not bad.¡±


    Across from him sat an old man dressed in the red and black robe of Dance Tool Dao Academy. A beautiful woman dressed as a court lady was diligently making tea for the two of them.


    The middle-aged man was none other than the Vice Hall Master of Xianwu Hall, Gongye Zhixu.


    And the old man was the Cave Master of Crimson City, Hong Mengkui, who also graduated from Dance Tool Dao Academy and had Golden Core Cultivation. Although he was older, he was of the same generation as Che Yucheng.


    ¡°What do you think of Pure Yang Academy¡¯s actions?¡±


    After seeing Chen Mobai leave, Gongye Zhixu asked a question.


    ¡°Before wanting something, there is always some fuss.¡±


    After saying these words, Hong Mengkui took a sip of his tea, squinting his eyes as if to savour the taste.


    ¡°How will you handle it?¡±


    The question from Gongye Zhixu made Hong Mengkui look at him in surprise.


    ¡°Do you still care about such trivial matters?¡±


    ¡°Nangong Xuanyu has been looking for me.¡±


    The current principal of Pure Yang Academy is none other than Nangong Xuanyu, who is reputed to be the number one person of the Golden Core Cultivation.


    Once relying on the Pure Yang Scroll and the Primordial Yang Sword Secret, he had challenged Qing Ping, a Nascent Soul master, and although he lost, he held his ground.


    Many people said that if Nangong Xuanyu were to use the ¡°Primordial Yang Sword¡±, even a Nascent Soul master might fall under his sword.


    ¡°Is he preparing for Nascent Soul Formation?¡±


    Gongye Zhixu barely mentioned it, and Hong Mengkui immediately understood the implied meaning.


    ¡°If the realm gate wasn¡¯t fluctuating, he might have already closed himself off to the outside world.¡±


    Resources on the Earth Elemental Star were scarce. Gongye Zhixu, who was second only to the top three Hall Masters of the Immortal Gate, only had one infant forming spiritual medicine. Although Nangong Xuanyu was the principal of Pure Yang Academy, if he sought to form a nascent soul, he could only rely on his brute strength.


    However, the fluctuation of the realm gate changed everything.


    After all, the approaching foreign world contained resources that no one knew the extent of.


    If there were no other choices, Nangong Xuanyu, as the top cultivator of the Golden Core, naturally had to close himself off to seek the slightest chance of forming a nascent soul.


    If there is hope now, who would be willing to risk their life to form a nascent soul?


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll try to dissuade the chiefs of the Dance Tool Dao Academy who have already graduated?¡±


    Since Gongye Zhixu had spoken to this extent, although Hong Mengkui was a bit unhappy, he had to give him face.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    After finishing his greetings, Gongye Zhixu laughed and left.


    ¡°Master, if we don¡¯t take action, I fear that none of the true cultivators in the Daoist Academy will be able to match Xiahou Weihuan.¡±


    The beautiful woman in court lady attire, who had been diligently making tea, raised her delicate chin after only Hong Mengkui was left, frowned slightly, and handed him a new cup of tea with her snow-white hands.


    ¡°Let him show off for a while.¡±


    ¡°Master, the millennium reputation of Dance Tool Dao Academy can¡¯t be ruined in our hands.¡±


    The beautiful woman in the court lady outfit was a bit dissatisfied. She pouted her mouth and poured out the tea leaves from the pot.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I just took a look, and this year¡¯s chief has got some ability. I estimate he could set an unprecedented record.¡±


    Hong Mengkui thought of the sword that Chen Mobai had used to beat twenty people earlier.


    With his discerning eye, he naturally saw through Chen Mobai¡¯s abilities at a glance.


    The Sword Rainbow Fission could resist even the later stage of Foundation Establishment, and the protective mechanism of the realm in Little Red Sky would only match Chen Mobai, who is at the first level of Foundation Establishment, with opponents up to the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment.


    Frankly speaking, Hong Mengkui felt that Che Yucheng had bullied people by letting Chen Mobai, his disciple, fight.


    However, acting hypocritically had always been Che Yucheng¡¯s style.


    He thought that Che Yucheng would become less cunning with age, but it turned out that it¡¯s difficult to change one¡¯s nature. He was still as devious as ever.


    But it was precisely because of this that Hong Mengkui agreed to Gongye Zhixu.


    Because he knows Che Yucheng¡¯s style of doing things, after Xiahou Weihuan shouted ¡°Crimson City¡¯s orthodox is in Pure Yang¡±, there were at least three batches of obvious or hidden means about to be deployed.


    From now on, we just sit and drink tea, watching how your master suppresses Pure Yang Academy.¡±

    The next day.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t bring a large group of people from the student council out.


    Apart from him not liking being surrounded by people, it was also because after activation, he could project himself into Little Red Sky from any location covered by the Spirit Vein of Crimson Mountain through his mobile phone.


    The same time, the same result.


    Facing the beautiful female student in front of him, he regretfully had to uphold his persona of defeating the enemy with one sword strike.

 Chapter 350 - Chapter 350: Chapter 277 Superior Tactics_2

    Chapter 350: Chapter 277 Superior Tactics_2


    What a pity, Chen Mobai was quite curious about the name of this senior sister from the Primordial Elemental Academy.


    But even when he went easy on her, the moment she saw him entering the match, she seemed to have lost all her fighting spirit.


    With just one slash of his sword, she only put up a symbolic shield before turning into ashes.


    This beautiful senior sister with her fair, snowy complexion seemed to be quite popular among some groups. After defeating twenty opponents one day, Chen Mobai searched online for a while and found many people criticizing him for his lack of mercy or affection towards women.


    Chen Mobai immediately logged into his second account and began to troll under the post.


    The protectors of the Flower, who were initially calming down, started criticizing the Dance Tool Daoist Academy as being full of rude people under his lead.


    While the rhythm was flying high, his experience kept climbing step by step.


    Very soon, Chen Mobai had already completed a terrifying record of consecutive victories in the Little Red Sky in just five days.


    A hundred percent win rate wasn¡¯t unheard of.


    Before Chen Mobai, Yuan Yang had left a record of a hundred percent wins in the Little Red Sky with 119 fights.


    In the 120th fight, Yuan Yang, who was then only at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, was defeated by a Cultivator at the Fake Pill stage from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy.


    Could Chen Mobai break this record?


    If someone had proposed this topic five days ago, even the students of the Dance Tools Dao Academy would have ridiculed it.


    119 fights with a 100% win rate.


    If Yuan Yang were to be reborn, even he would probably not be able to do it.


    But today, everyone is looking forward to this day.


    ¡°You were sent to break the things that the Pure Yang Academy takes pride in, one by one. That is one of the reasons I sent you out,¡± Che Yucheng said to Chen Mobai in the office in the No. 1 building of the Crimson Mountain.


    ¡°Teacher, did you know from the start that the Pure Yang Academy wanted to challenge the status of our Dance Tools Dao Academy?¡± Chen Mobai asked in surprise, thinking that he was able to become the student council president just because of a series of fortunate accidents ¨C an incident involving Zuo Qiushi wanting to escape, and a teacher who just happened to be the director of academic affairs.


    ¡°More or less,¡± answered Che Yucheng. ¡°The fluctuation of the gates between worlds means that people need to be sent to investigate the situation before an official transition between the two worlds.¡±


    ¡°Nangong Xuanyu is the closest to Nascent Soul Formation, he certainly will not miss this opportunity. Gongye Zhixu, who he gets along with, would also follow.¡±


    ¡°As long as the Pure Yang Academy gets excellent results in the Little Red Sky, they can justify including people from the Pure Yang Academy in their team that will be sent to explore the other world.¡±


    After hearing what Che Yucheng had to say, Chen Mobai patted his chest, showing that he understood what he needed to do.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, teacher, I¡¯ve already cut down about twenty Pure Yang students these five days. As long as I¡¯m in the Little Red Sky, nobody at the early to middle Foundation Establishment stage can outshine me.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai remembered Xiahou Weihuan and other Pure Yang Academy veterans who have graduated many years ago.


    ¡°I might lose to the late Foundation Establishment stage, and they won¡¯t be matched up with me, so I can¡¯t target them.¡±


    Just as he was fretting, Che Yucheng responded with a smile.


    ¡°We also have several former chief graduates from the Dance Tools Dao Academy. They are all busy exploring the Gold Core Way. Even if I call them, they may come out of their seclusion, but if our previous chief graduates deliberately step in to suppress the Pure Yang Academy, it seems a bit too deliberate, and the act is somewhat demeaning.¡±


    Chen Mobai understood, but he was also a little confused.


    ¡°So, Teacher, what exactly should I do to not only perform excellently but also suppress those like Xiahou Weihuan who rule without rivals in the late Foundation Establishment stage?¡±


    Not hiding anything from his disciple, Che Yucheng made two phone calls in front of Chen Mobai.


    He called the Academic directors of the Kunpeng Daoist Academy and the Repairing Heaven Institute. First, he made some small talk, then he subtly mentioned the recent events in the Little Red Sky.


    I heard that your chief graduate was beaten!


    Who did that?


    It was the chief graduate of the Pure Yang Academy?! Does that mean your academy¡¯s students are no match for Pure Yang¡¯s students?


    Oh, so it turns out it was several former chief graduates of the Pure Yang Academy who have graduated several years ago? Well, no wonder Ling Dao Teacher had a hard time, it¡¯s understandable that they lost.


    After the two phone calls, Che Yucheng had a beaming smile on his face as the call was hung up.


    ¡°If I called them a few days earlier and used this to provoke them, they will definitely retort that our Dance Tools Dao Academy is dwindling and full of cowards. They will laugh at you, a first level Foundation Establishment cultivator becoming the chief graduate because those rightfully with higher seniority decided to abandon the place.¡±


    Now that wouldn¡¯t happen, as Chen Mobai had won every contest. He was the most popular figure in the Little Red Sky and had brought immense glory to the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Che Yucheng observed his apprentice, Chen Mobai, with growing satisfaction. He beamed, his elderly face radiant.


    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯ve earned so much honor for you and the academy. Shouldn¡¯t the academy give me a few extra credit points?¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he pretended to be massage his hand as if it were sore, suggesting that it took quite the effort to release those hundred swords in the past five days.


    ¡°Credit points are the essential system of the academy. No teacher has the authority to give extra credit points to students.¡±


    Che Yucheng refused Chen Mobai¡¯s request in a very serious manner.


    ¡°I was just saying. By the way, teacher, when will True Lord Shaoyang come out of seclusion? My classmate, Ming Yuhua, also studies the Pure Yang Scroll, and he has reached Foundation Establishment, but we have never seen our mentor.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly changed the topic. He knew that while Che Yucheng was a great teacher, he tended to be conservative and a stalwart defender of the Daoist institution¡¯s laws.


    Only this way, could the world of cultivation of the immortal gateway maintain its civilization.


    As cultivators increase their cultivation level and power, they tend to despise worldly law and order. This will result in a situation like that in the Tianhe Realm, where courtesy and music are lost, and the strong are respected.


    Judging seniority based on cultivation level shows how the order in the Tianhe Realm has collapsed.


    However, from top to bottom in the Immortal Gateway, a system of heavenly rules and commandments is upheld to ensure the orderly civilization and heritage of Di Yuan Star, where everyone is treated as equal.


    The biggest difference between the Tianhe Realm and the Immortal Gateway is this:


    Order!


    ¡°Speaking of which, I recalled that Sister Duanmu had stored a few ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± with Rank-3 magic artifacts. You haven¡¯t used your device piece, have you? You did contribute to the academy, so I¡¯ll take you to the depths of the Treasure Trove when school starts next year.¡±


    Hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened in surprise.


    ¡°Teacher, isn¡¯t it said that the magic artifacts in the Treasure Trove¡¯s Device Nurturing Spheres are random?¡±


    ¡°They are random, but the Device Nurturing Spheres on Sister Duanmu¡¯s island randomly produce a Rank-3 magic artifact.¡±


    Che Yucheng solemnly reiterated, hinting at what he didn¡¯t need to make explicit.


    Chen Mobai gave him a thumbs-up.


    ¡°Don¡¯t celebrate too soon. The Rank-3 magic artifact might not suit you. Besides, whether Sister Duanmu agrees to this is still unknown.¡±


    However, the fact that Che Yucheng dared to make this suggestion indicated that he had some confidence that it would be possible.


    After all, this time Chen Mobai had earned the Dance Tool Dao Academy quite a bit of glory in the Little Red Sky.


    If the academy didn¡¯t reward anything, where would the motivation for future students come from?


    That evening, as Chen Mobai was looking at the introduction and diagram of the Rank-3 magic artifact in the Map of Treasures, a person he hadn¡¯t contacted for a long time called.


    It was Lan Haitian.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    Considering they had cooperated once and he had helped him with the Yang Jing incident, Chen Mobai decided to answer the call.


    ¡°Can we meet in person? I¡¯m at Crimson Mountain.¡±


    Lan Haitian¡¯s voice came through the phone.


    At the entrance of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai looked strangely at Lan Haitian whom he found both familiar and unfamiliar.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Did some heretical cult members mix in this time when Little Red Sky was opened?¡±


    The only explanation Chen Mobai could think of was Gongye Zhixu being a target of a cult attack. Perhaps in the shadows unseen by ordinary people, the Heaven Repair Group and the Ascension Sect had already started a bloody battle.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Director Nan of the academy ordered me to come over, to seize first place for Kunpeng Dao Academy in the Little Red Sky.¡±


    Lan Haitian casually said this.


    A thumbs-up immediately arose in Chen Mobai¡¯s heart for his teacher, Che Yucheng.


    The method used was indeed superior!


    Maddeningly smart!

 Chapter 351 - Chapter 351: Chapter 278: Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method_1

    Chapter 351: Chapter 278: Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method_1


    Lan Haitian is the most reputed Foundation Establishment true cultivator of Kunpeng Daoist Academy, and his strength is widely recognized as the best within this realm.


    Chen Mobai fulfilled his duties as a host to the best of his ability.


    ¡°Does the avatar projected into the Little Red Sky possess unlimited spiritual power?¡±


    During their meal, Lan Haitian didn¡¯t forget to discuss important matters with Chen Mobai. Although he was confident in his abilities, he always prepared thoroughly before taking any actions, a practice he always adhered to.


    ¡°At the start of the Magic Duel, the avatar you project in is assumed to be the same as your physical self outside. Using spells and the like will consume your spiritual power. Once your spiritual power is exhausted, Little Red Sky will declare automatic surrender.¡±


    ¡°However, after a match, regardless of victory or defeat, if you re-enter the duel, your spiritual power will be restored to its peak state.¡±


    ¡°As long as your mind can withstand the stress, theoretically, you could keep finding opponents within the Little Red Sky.¡±


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation, Lan Haitian nodded slightly, signaling his understanding.


    Projecting into the Little Red Sky doesn¡¯t consume spiritual power, but it does drain the mind.


    Because of this, many people can only participate in ten matches per day at most.


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s opponents were unable to pose a threat to him, he won each duel with a single sword strike, making twenty matches in a day a breeze.


    ¡°Before I came here, Director Nan advised me to pay a visit to Director Che of your academy after I clinch first place.¡±


    As he was leaving, Lan Haitian suddenly said these words. Chen Mobai immediately pretended not to know.


    ¡°Oh, is there something going on?¡±


    Lan Haitian glanced at Chen Mobai and simply laughed.


    ¡°A good show is about to begin.¡±


    Having fought alongside Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai clearly understood the weight of his reputation.


    Xiahou Weihuan of Pure Yang Academy, however, was a fellow of the same cultivation level at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment. Moreover, he was armed with the premium combination of Pure Yang Scroll and Primordial Yang Sword Secret. Even though his abilities were halved in the Little Red Sky as he couldn¡¯t carry his Destiny Flying Sword, Chen Mobai felt that he might give Lan Haitian a fierce competition.


    Chen Mobai immediately reported this development to Che Yucheng.


    Upon hearing it, Che Yucheng was taken aback for a moment as he hadn¡¯t expected Kunpeng Daoist Academy to dispatch Lan Haitian.


    ¡°It seems Taishi Shu¡¯s loss has also greatly infuriated that guy, Nan Dou.¡±


    The dean of the Kunpeng Daoist Academy is named Nan Dou and among the four major Daoist academies, his fame rings the loudest in the last hundred years. Despite being only a Gold Core cultivator, he owned a Rank-4 companion beast which made him acknowledged as an equal to those at the Nascent Soul level within the immortal gate.


    ¡°And what about the Repairing Heaven Institute? Why is it so quiet?¡±


    Chen Mobai then asked. After all, the initial defeats of Ling Daoshi and Taishi Shu were made public and these two academies had lost face in a grand scale.


    Pure Yang Academy, propelled by these two, and Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s proclamation that ¡°Crimson City¡¯s righteous lineage lies in Pure Yang,¡± has led to several forum discussions about whether Dance Tool Dao Academy, which has always ranked last among the four major Daoist academies, should shift its position.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. Oh, by the way, I have asked Sister Duanmu, she has permitted you to open a Rank-3 ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯. Do you have time now? I¡¯ll take you there.¡±


    Upon hearing another piece of good news, Chen Mobai nodded with excitement.


    ¡°Master, I have loaned my device piece to Ming Yuhua.¡±


    But immediately, Chen Mobai remembered this problem and his brows furrowed.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, let¡¯s call him. I can take him to meet Sister Duanmu at the same time.¡±


    Arriving once more at the depths of the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai still felt a bit hot along the way.


    When they were in front of the stone house, Ming Yuhua immediately handed the device piece he received from Duanmu Longrong to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°These two are the new Pure Yang Taoist seeds?¡±


    Duanmu Longrong suddenly asked, catching Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua by surprise.


    ¡°Correct, sister.¡±


    Che Yucheng lightly nodded.


    ¡°A bit weak.¡±


    Duanmu Longrong looked at them, shaking her head expressionlessly.


    ¡°They can still grow. Perhaps a hundred years from now, they will be the ones to replace you, sister.¡±


    Che Yucheng replied with a smile, causing Duanmu Longrong to shoot him an annoyed glare. He did not say any more, and immediately took Ming Yuhua up first.


    When only Chen Mobai was left, he looked nervously at this Core Formation cultivator standing in front of him. However, she didn¡¯t show him any prejudice because he was Che Yucheng¡¯s disciple.


    ¡°You wait here, don¡¯t move.¡±


    As she spoke, Duanmu Longrong pointed at the large Vermillion Fruit Tree next to her, then got up and entered the stone house behind her.


    Chen Mobai sneaked a glance and saw several cabinets inside, some empty, some holding ordinary-looking white jade spheres.


    Are these all Rank-3 ¡®Device Nurturing Spheres¡¯?


    Chen Mobai wanted to count them but found Duanmu Longrong had already closed the door.


    He had no choice but to wait under the Vermillion Fruit Tree.


    ¡°There are four, whose sealed spiritual liquid is of the fire attribute. What you can open depends on your own fate.¡±

    When Duanmu Longrong emerged, she waved her red-black sleeve, and four ¡®Device Nurturing Spheres¡¯ appeared in front of Chen Mobai.


    He immediately activated his Void Spirit Eye. The clear glow in his pupils allowed him to see past the surface and get a general understanding of the contents.


    They were each a circle, a blur, a bell shape, and a straight long shape.


    With the Rank-3 ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯, the effect of the sealed spiritual liquid is much stronger. Even his Void Spirit Eye couldn¡¯t see through everything.


    Despite this, the moment Duanmu Longrong caught sight of the shimmer in his eyes, she revealed a look of surprise.

 Chapter 352 - Chapter 352: Chapter 278: Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method_2

    Chapter 352: Chapter 278: Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method_2


    ¡°You¡¯ve practiced the Art of Spiritual Eyes well.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your compliment, Teacher Duanmu. This is the shape that I see, could you perhaps point out which are the Rank-3 Magic Artifacts?¡±


    Chen Mobai felt that Duanmu Longrong and Che Yucheng had a good relationship, so he started familiarizing himself, describing the shapes he saw in the four Device Nurturing Spheres using his Void Spirit Eye.


    ¡°The round one should be the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror; the blurry one is probably a Rank-3 Red Misty Cloud Silk refined by someone, although it doesn¡¯t rule out the possibility of it being a higher grade artifact that you can¡¯t see clearly; the bell-shaped one should be the Departure Fire Bell; as for the elongated one, it could either be a flying sword, a ruler, or a Flying Needle.¡±


    Duanmu Longrong didn¡¯t put Chen Mobai in a difficult position and told him everything she knew.


    Among them, the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and the Departure Fire Bell are Rank-3 magic artifacts recorded in the Map of Treasures, Chen Mobai could easily get the mantra for their cultivation.


    Chen Mobai also found himself drawn to the Rank-3 Red Misty Cloud Silk, after all, when cultivated to the highest realm, it could allow the cultivator to freely roam amongst the stars in the universe.


    However, considering that he had already received Rank-2 Red Misty Cloud Silk from True Yang Sage, he temporarily excluded this option.


    As for the higher-grade artifact mentioned by Duanmu Longrong, Chen Mobai did not even consider it.


    He was always cautious in his approach. The Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and the Departure Fire Bell were both very suitable for him, especially the former, which could be used to cultivate the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡±. There was no need to take risks for an extremely slight possibility.


    As for the last elongated artifact, since even Duanmu Longrong was not sure, Chen Mobai was definitely not going to choose it.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.¡±


    After contemplating for a long time, Chen Mobai chose the first Device Nurturing Sphere.


    The previous owner of this artifact was also a Pure Yang Scroll cultivator, but unfortunately debido to the constraints of the Pure Yang Daoist Body, he was stuck at the sixth level of Gold Core.


    However, he was also an outstanding Artifact Refiner. According to the record in the Map of Treasures, this mirror had a maximum grade of intermediate grade Rank-3. After the Pure Yang Scroll cultivator¡¯s death, he had basically invested all his lifelong essence into the artifact, making this piece a suitable choice for him.


    Seeing his choice, Duanmu Longrong didn¡¯t argue but directly put away the remaining three Device Nurturing Spheres.


    Chen Mobai activated the Device Piece in his hand. Fire Godlight of the fire element emerged from the infinite magma outside the island, as if a fire dragon had been summoned.


    ¡°So the source of the Fire Godlight is here.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai saw the Fire Godlight break through the magma, it appeared to enter a dark artifact. He only had a glimpse and did not know what shape it was, let alone its grade.


    He wisely didn¡¯t look further, lowering his gaze to the Device Nurturing Sphere in his hand, which was activated by the Fire Godlight. After the shell and the Spiritual Liquid turned into ash and disappeared, an ancient bronze mirror was revealed.


    The mirror was flawlessly smooth, reflecting Chen Mobai¡¯s figure like a placid lake.


    However, it was strange that it not only displayed the skin, but also the internal bones and meridians of the body appeared one by one on the mirror. Even his skull, which had been refined with the glowing Tree Juice, was reflected.


    ¡°This mirror was refined in imitation of the Soulful Mirror and probably has about one percent of the Soulful Mirror¡¯s power.¡±


    Duanmu Longrong said a sentence that moved Chen Mobai.


    The Soulful Mirror was a Rank-4 artifact and the co-cultivating object of Cheng Xuan, the head of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. The latter relied on it to cultivate ¡°The Union of Differences¡± and even achieved ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    Although it was a simplified version, Chen Mobai was already very satisfied.


    He was currently the Student Council President and could use the Map of Treasures at will. Therefore, he directly checked the mantra for cultivating the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and refined this Rank-3 artifact into his Dantian in front of Duanmu Longrong.


    Magic Artifacts of Rank-3 and above could serve as a cultivator¡¯s lifebound artifact.


    However, many cultivators do not initially decide on their lifebound artifact, because the spiritual energy provided by the Daoist Academy is limited. They barely have enough for their own cultivation, let alone extra spiritual energy to cultivate and enhance the power of the artifact.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s ¡°The Union of Differences¡± is a reversal of this approach.


    It utilizes the artifact¡¯s surpassing grade to drive the cultivator¡¯s enhancement, realizing the true meaning in the artifact, constantly breaking the mirrors, and participating in Heavenly Creation.


    The academy has a ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡± derived from ¡°The Union of Differences¡±.


    It is the unparalleled method to upgrade a cultivator¡¯s realm.


    For example, if Chen Mobai refines a Rank-3 artifact as his lifebound artifact, during cultivation he will draw on the power of the artifact to elevate himself until his realm is on par with the artifact, at which point the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡± is considered to be successful.


    The next step is that if a cultivator wants to advance, he must promote the artifact and himself together to break the mirror.


    Moreover, when cultivating the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡±, one can only select a magic artifact that exceeds their own realm by one rank. If the rank is surpassed, the individual would explode and instantly die upon the artifact entering their body, without exception.


    Many Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, when they estimate that their lifespan would not permit them to advance to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, would risk practicing the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡±, utilizing the power of high-grade artifacts, forcefully breaking the mirror, and attempting Core Formation.


    In contrast, the ¡°Union of Differences¡± is different.


    Not only does it possess all the advantages of the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method, but one can also refine Rank-4 or even Rank-5 artifacts across realms, and can sever this co-cultivation connection at any time.


    Lets say, for instance, one day Zhongli Tianyu feels that his ancestors¡¯ Bagua Mirror does not meet his preferences, he can discard this mirror and swap it for something else to join him.


    The condition could be explained with a simple example.


    Practicing the ¡°Union of Differences¡± is like a playboy, while practicing the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡± is like the embodiment of loyalty and commitment.


    Chen Mobai felt that he was very suitable for practicing the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡±.


    When he first started school, Ming Yuhua mentioned this. After he checked it out, he kept it in mind ever since.


    However, due to the lack of a suitable Rank-3 magic artifact, he had put it aside.


    Because the requirements for the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method are too restrictive, and once a life magic artifact is chosen, it cannot be changed, and it is the only chance in one¡¯s life. Therefore, many people are extremely careful.


    There are even some Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who think about relying on their own talents to form the core, and then find a Rank-4 magic artifact to practice the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡±, to reach the threshold of Nascent Soul Formation.


    Chen Mobai is not one of these ambitious people; he has a clear understanding of himself.


    As long as he advances a step faster, he can gain more resources in the Tianhe Realm.


    After all, in that world, it is strength that commands respect.


    If he could form the core, perhaps he could implement new policies within the Divine Wood Sect, making all Foundation Establishment cultivators go to the Divine Tree Secret Realm to seize opportunities, such resources and secret techniques obtained could elevate the Divine Wood Sect to a higher level.


    Unfortunately, he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage right now.


    After leaving the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai went to Building One to thank Che Yucheng. Without him, Chen wouldn¡¯t have had the opportunity to get the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror that perfectly matched his Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method so soon.


    ¡°You can watch the ups and downs of the Little Red Sky in the next few days and wait for the right opportunity to break the winning streak of Yuan Yang¡¯s ancestor.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s choice, Che Yucheng gave an approving look.


    In this way, at least he can try to advance to Foundation Establishment using ¡®Pure Yang Scroll¡¯ with the help of the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method.


    After Chen Mobai left Building One, he went to Building Nine and obtained a Cultivation Room.


    He had stalled in the Pure Yang Scroll for over a year. If it wasn¡¯t to advance to Foundation Establishment via Enlightenment, he would have already impatiently used the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures to break through.


    Hopefully, with the pure Yang Truth in the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and the help of the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method, he can enter the realm of legend.


    Inside the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Palace, the green jade phoenix tree which had taken form using his divine sense, dropped a flower and fruit from the top of a branch. It transformed into a ray of light, and entered the ancient bronze mirror in his Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea.


    In an instant, Chen Mobai felt as if he were entering a world of flames.


    The six True Fires conveying different Dao rhymes seemed like six spirit snakes coiling around his divine sense. In just a blink of an eye, he felt a sharp pain in his divine sense, as if his entire being were being burned and gradually turning into ashes.


    Is this what my opponents, whom I killed with one stroke, felt?


    At this moment, Chen Mobai was contemplating this question.

    However, his powerful divine sense eventually got the upper hand. Although the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror was a Rank-3 artifact, with no one controlling it, he was able to subdue it after surviving the initial wave.


    At the same time, Chen Mobai also introduced his Pure Yang spiritual power from the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Yet, it was devoured by the Six Yang Divine Fire in an instant.


    According to the theory, Pure Yang Scroll cultivators at the level of Qi Cultivation cannot refine Rank-3 artifacts for the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method.


    But he was different.

 Chapter 353 - Chapter 353: Chapter 279: Fire Spirit Body_1

    Chapter 353: Chapter 279: Fire Spirit Body_1


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation level was only at the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation according to the Pure Yang Scroll.


    However, due to the existence of the Dual-phase technique, his realm was essentially that of the Foundation Establishment. Therefore, he could perfectly refine the Rank-3 Six Solar Divine Fire Mirror.


    Under the dual-phase rotation, the dense and unending Longevity Spiritual Power, similar to timber, was devoured by the normally insignificant Pure Yang Spiritual Power. Chen Mobai spared no expense in consuming his origin, and soon the pure Yang energy, which was only gaseous, began to liquefy.


    He then infused this drop of liquid Pure Yang spiritual power into the Six Solar God Fire Mirror. The ancient bronze mirror, which had been restlessly turbulent, began to slowly stabilize after sensing the power identical to its previous owner.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense, which originally seemed to be caught in a sea of fire, now began to feel relaxed and comfortable.


    As if he were immersed in a hot spring, his body felt warm and light.


    He had an illusion that the flames seemed like hot water.


    Vague as it was, Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense began to lose itself in the infinite expanse of flames. He seemed to be transformed into a spirit of flames, freely soaring within them.


    By the time he emerged from this state, five days had already passed.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes, looked at his right hand, snapped his fingers, and a spark appeared on his fingertips.


    This was a benefit he gained during the Taoist Revelation process, and it also delivered him a formidable physique.


    Named ¡°Fire Spirit Body.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know why he was aware of this name. It felt like it naturally popped up within his divine sense.


    Since he knew the name, it was easy to handle.


    He took out his phone, conducted a quick internet search, and sure enough, he found relevant information.


    It turned out that this Fire Spirit Body was an extremely rare and powerful physique that might be born with a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root.


    Individuals with the Fire Spirit Body, depending on their level of awakening, could possess various talents such as Fire Affinity, Mastery of Flames, and Flame Resistance.


    When cultivating spells and techniques of the fire attribute, their efficiency could be exponentially increased.


    Usually, a cultivator with a Fire Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root could possibly possess a Fire Spirit Body, but the probability was only one percent.


    Inversely, a cultivator with a Fire Spirit Body is always a cultivator with a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root. This is a law derived by the Immortal Sect.


    After reading all this, Chen Mobai was dumbfounded.


    He took out the Spirit-Testing Instruments to re-examine his Spirit Root Attribute, and indeed his Fire Spirit Root had increased by ten points in the process of Foundation Establishment, changing to ¡°Fire 63,¡± which could be regarded as entering the realm of genius.


    But he still didn¡¯t have a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root? Why?


    After much thought, Chen Mobai could only attribute this Fire Spirit Body to a gift from the Heavenly Way, which allowed him, who was not a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, to possess it directly.


    After suppressing the random thoughts in his mind, Chen Mobai took out his Qingyang Fire Seed.


    He operated his Sun Raising Technique with his newly acquired Fire Spirit Body, and soon, what was originally just a purple-tinged fire seed almost instantaneously changed into a flame that was half purple and half green.


    Just a little more, and this fire seed could completely ascend and become ¡°Qingyang Fire.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel invigorated. A complete Qingyang Fire, an absolute peak of Rank-2 Spiritual Fire, possesses traits of some Rank-3 Spiritual Fire. With this as its foundation, once he had mastered the Green Flames Sword Slaughter Technique, he would be able to contend even with a Golden Core Real Person.


    Because the Sword Slaughter Technique could only be refined by a Golden Core Cultivator.


    Regrettably, he had obtained this Qingyang Fire Seed only recently. Although he had repeatedly refined it with the Pure Qingyang Technique and the fiery Spiritual Energy of the Treasure Trove, only slightly more than half of it had been advanced under the augmentation of the Sun Raising Technique and the Fire Spirit Body.


    After his cultivation level had improved, Chen Mobai visited the Divine Tree Secret Realm at the first instance.


    Unfortunately, the Magic Treasure Tree had already been fed with Pure Yang Spiritual Power. Even though he had successfully reached the Foundation Establishment level, he was unable to obtain any special fruits from it.


    Chen Mobai then went to the Talent Tree.


    The tree was more sensitive and, after he elevated his Fire Spiritual Root due to Foundation Establishment, it bestowed upon him another technique known as ¡°Precious Fire Forging Physical Technique.¡±


    Originally, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t care much about it, but after going through it, he couldn¡¯t help but widen his eyes.


    This ¡°Precious Fire Forging Physical Technique¡± required the use of Qingyang Fire and Tree Juice of Longevity. By using the former to instill fire into wood, the powerful and dynamic tree juice could dissolve and immerse one¡¯s entire body. It significantly accelerated the pace of refining the Longevity Taoist Body.


    This Talent Tree is too intelligent, isn¡¯t it?


    Chen Mobai looked at the towering and enormous Divine Tree in front of him in disbelief. Despite owning such profound heritage, the Ancient Longevity Sect had still vanished in the river of history. It really demonstrated how terrifying the concealed power of the Tianhe Realm was.

    Within the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he practiced the spells from the Pure Yang Scroll with his newly acquired Fire Spirit Body and, without exception, all of them were enhanced and elevated.


    Chen Mobai cultivated using the Flame Lighting Technique and Precious Fire Forging Physical Techniques in combination, and in a short period of time, he had completely fused all the Longevity Tree Juice, which was originally infused into his skull but hadn¡¯t been completely refined yet.


    The Void Spirit Eye was influenced and saw some improvement, but he didn¡¯t test it and was unsure about how much it had enhanced compared to before.


    Once all the Longevity Tree Juice was completely merged into his skull, Chen Mobai felt his Sea of Knowledge in the Purple Mansion expand slightly, causing the operation speed of his divine sense to increase.


    He only wondered if the Divine Slash had also increased in power?

 Chapter 354 - Chapter 354: Chapter 279: Fire Spirit Body_2

    Chapter 354: Chapter 279: Fire Spirit Body_2


    At this thought, Chen Mobai could hardly contain himself.


    He returned to the Xianmen and logged onto Little Red Sky.


    Soon, the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who were always watching him began to click on the matching request.


    Before the first opponent could even say a word, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes seemed to slash out with an icy sharpness, forming an invisible heavenly sword that exploded his opponent¡¯s head.


    It was another simple defeat of the enemy.


    ¡°Just a Rank-4 Foundation Establishment level, not very impressive.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself, then clicked the match button again.


    Three seconds later, a handsome male, donned in the uniform of Pure Yang Academy, appeared before him.


    His unfettered aura made Chen Mobai¡¯s face glow with joy.


    ¡°Rank-5 Foundation Establishment, you¡¯re not bad.¡±


    After identifying the opponent¡¯s cultivation level using the Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai did not immediately use his Purple Fire Sword Light to defeat the opponent. Instead, he cast a fire attribute spell that he had been practicing for a long time.


    The opponent obviously knew about Chen Mobai¡¯s powerful magic duel ability, and did not dare to slack off.


    After a burst of Finger Swords Qi broke Chen Mobai¡¯s Fireball Technique, he was about to rush forward.


    But he realized that his opponent had clenched his right fist, and the fireball, which had been split by him, was ignited at once.


    ¡°Flame Explosion Technique!? He¡¯s also from the root of the Pure Yang Scroll.¡±


    Seeing this scene, a flash of surprise crossed the eyes of the True Cultivator from Pure Yang Academy, but his hand movements did not stop. He drew out ten Sword Lights with his fingers and turned on his toes. Like a top, he spun blocking all the explosive forces from the Flame Explosion Technique.


    However, in doing so, he had made himself a target.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai would not miss this opportunity, and with a slash of his sword, the magnificent deep purple Sword Light hit heavily, colliding with the opponent¡¯s spinning Sword Qi, but was silently nullified.


    There was a ¡°puff¡± sound.


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s Purple Fire Sword Light was eventually blocked by his opponent, the opponent spewed out blood and retreated backward, spinning in the air a few times before half-kneeling on the ground.


    ¡°How interesting.¡±


    Chen Mobai had fought hundreds of battles in Little Red Sky, facing different opponents. Naturally, he encountered those who couldn¡¯t be defeated in one hit.


    However, nobody had quite caught his eye like the opponent in front of him now.


    ¡°After taking your one hit, I should be able to leave my name behind.¡±


    The handsome man from Pure Yang Academy stood up, wiped the blood from his mouth and looked somewhat proud in defeat.


    ¡°Pure Yang Academy Ninth Grade, Chang Zhengyang.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re good. Since I¡¯ve made a breakthrough in my cultivation, let¡¯s spend some more time together.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, a flash of red lightning appeared in his right hand, like a whip swung towards Chang Zhengyang. Chang Zhengyang did not expect this, and even though he had proudly taken a hit from Chen Mobai of Dance Tool Dao Academy, he wasn¡¯t prepared this time and was taken away.


    ¡°Still lacking in magic duel experience.¡±


    Seeing Chang Zhengyang blasted into dust by the Bing Fire Divine Thunder Technique, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. Over in the Tianhe Realm, even facing a dead opponent, one must not let their guard down.


    The Little Red Sky may be a place to increase their magic duel capabilities and hone their skills, but after all, it¡¯s not a life-or-death battle, the mentality naturally falls short.


    Chen Mobai clicked the match button again.


    His third battle of the day was against a formidable opponent, the topmost Rank-6 Foundation Establishment student of Spiritual Treasure Academy, named Dai Shiqing.


    ¡°Nice to meet you, Senior Brother Chen of the superior academy.¡±


    However, when Dai Shiqing arrived, he first respectfully greeted Chen Mobai with an ancient salute, adopting the etiquette of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    All top ten academies basically originate from the four Daoist Academies, and this Spiritual Treasure Academy is a branch of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    They primarily practice ¡°Unity of Self and Tool Technique¡± and ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡± that evolved from ¡°The Union of Differences¡±.


    The latter is something that Chen Mobai has been practicing, while the former is a Treasure controlling spell, which can integrate the caster and the Magic Artifact in a short period, maximizing their power.


    The dean of Spiritual Treasure Academy, is also the only Rank-5 Treasure Appraiser in Xianmen.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, Magic Artifacts cannot be used here.¡±


    After returning Dai Shiqing¡¯s salute, Chen Mobai, taking a look at the latter with his Void Spirit Eye, could not help but shake his head in regret.


    He has decent cultivation. If he had an associated Magic Artifact, he might have been able to duel with me.


    As the top student of the Spiritual Treasure Academy, Dai Shiqing could probably have already refined a Rank-3 artifact and practiced the ¡°Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method¡±.


    ¡°It¡¯s already an honor to spar with the top senior of the superior academy, let alone having any regrets.¡±


    Dai Shiqing was nonchalant. After the salute, he executed a movement technique, and his full person split into two, then four, launching attack spells from all directions at Chen Mobai.


    But with the operation of Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye, he quickly identified the real body.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Divine Slash shot out, and the real Dai Shiqing on the right suddenly froze for a moment. Chen Mobai seized this opportunity and slashed out with his sword.


    ¡°Treasure Light Technique!¡±


    Dai Shiqing was after all the top student of the Spiritual Treasure Academy. Although his Divine Sense was out of control, his body sensed the crisis and the powerful defensive magic etched in his Dantian came out in response, transforming into a treasure bell that firmly ensnared him.


    The brilliant Sword Light fell, and together with the Treasure Light Technique, it created a deafening explosion.


    Under this commotion, Dai Shiqing woke up, his face full of terror.

 Chapter 355 - Chapter 355: Chapter 279 Fire Spirit Body_3

    Chapter 355: Chapter 279 Fire Spirit Body_3


    However, when Chen Mobai¡¯s first strike was blocked, he immediately launched another, With two consecutive strikes, the bell formed by the Treasure Light Technique began to teeter, showing thin cracks.


    ¡°Breaking Treasure Dismantling Great Technique!¡±


    Anyone capable of reaching the level of the head of the ten academic palaces would be above the simple Foundation Establishment Stage. Although Dai Shiqing lacked a Magic Artifact, he also had a desperate spell.


    Seeing that the Treasure Light Technique was about to be broken, he boldly capitalized on the characteristic of the Little Red Sky where one does not fear death. He directly abandoned his defense. As he destroyed the Treasure Light Technique, he also made all the Spiritual Power in his Dantian explode, forming a misty surge of Spiritual Energy, like a towering tidal wave rushing toward Chen Mobai.


    But at the same time, Dai Shiqing himself, due to the disappearance of the Treasure Light Technique, was struck in the chest by the Purple Fire Sword Light, barely holding onto his last breath.


    And it was this last breath that allowed him to see Chen Mobai use a defensive technique for the first time since entering the Little Red Sky.


    As a spiritual leaf just started to bloom, Dai Shiqing was already unable to hold on and turned into ashes.


    Chen Mobai felt the huge white wave that hit him before it suddenly vanished, his face showing a trace of melancholy.


    After he mastered the ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡±, whether it was Meng Hong, Che Yucheng or Master Zuo Gong, they all said that such power would be unmatched unless one was against an opponent above the late Foundation Establishment Stage.


    But they also warned him to be wary of some outstanding talents in the middle stages of Foundation Establishment. Their strengths have already surpassed their own realms and should be able to fight against those in the late stages of Foundation Establishment.


    In the words of the Tianhe Realm, these were all prodigies.


    Chen Mobai had not met one before, but today he finally encountered one.


    Since entering Little Red Sky, Dai Shiqing was the only opponent that made him feel threatened.


    Even though his opponent used a desperate spell under the rule of the Little Red Sky where there was no fear of death, regardless of his own safety, it was clear that due to his high winning percentage, which was nearing breaking Yuan Yang¡¯s winning record, the ones he would encounter next would all be at Dai Shiqing¡¯s level who were heads at the Foundation Establishment Stage.


    However, because of this, Chen Mobai could feel a surge of excitement unconsciously welling up from the depths of his heart.


    Although instant killing was impressive, it was indeed too boring.


    He hoped to fall to a powerful opponent in a peak duel, rather than always catching fish in muddy waters.


    He clicked to match again.


    Very quickly, his third opponent of the day entered the room.


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised when he saw her.


    ¡°Long time no see,¡±


    Qing Nu greeted Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell me when you succeeded in reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s last contact with Qing Nu was when she said she was going to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage. Also because of this, he handed over the matter of refining Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew to Wang Xingyu.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a very ordinary event, not worth mentioning.¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head and calmly replied.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°All right, then.¡±


    On hearing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know what to say. After Kong Feichen left with Yang Jing, she seemed to have closed herself off a bit. He was not very good at giving advice, and it wasn¡¯t appropriate in this situation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have a good match.¡±


    Out of sight, out of mind. After saluting, Chen Mobai directly raised his right finger and pointed at Qing Nu.


    With one slash, Qing Nu disappeared from his sight.

 Chapter 356 - Chapter 356: Chapter 280 Lu Qiulong_1

    Chapter 356: Chapter 280 Lu Qiulong_1


    Qing Nu¡¯s real self awakened in a high-tech chair.


    She was breathing lightly, releasing her tightly clenched hands.


    ¡°You¡¯re really unlucky, encountering that monster after ten consecutive victories.¡±


    A cup of boiled water was handed to Qing Nu. A mature woman in glasses and a white lab coat looked at the combat scene playing on the screen on the wall across from her.


    This is one of the benefits of being in the Repair Group.


    After each battle, the supercomputers help analyze the reasons for their wins and losses, detailing all the aspects they didn¡¯t consider. It¡¯s to enhance everyone¡¯s magic duel abilities while nurturing their higher level combat consciousness.


    ¡°I knew he was strong, but I didn¡¯t expect him to be this strong.¡±


    Qing Nu took the water and drank it all in one go, seemingly wanting to drive away the burning sensation caused by her projected avatar¡¯s annihilation by the Purple Fire Sword Light.


    ¡°This man is a once-in-a-millennium Sword Dao prodigy. He comprehended Sword Rainbow Fission at the Foundation Establishment Rank-1. I wonder how Dance Tool Dao Academy cultivated him.¡±


    The mature woman was Zhongli Yi, deputy leader of the Repair Group 4; she too had an account in Little Red Sky, but her expertise in medical treatment and poisons didn¡¯t help in that environment where combat relies solely on spiritual power and spellcasting, leading to her lower achievements.


    Once, she was fortunate enough to be matched against Chen Mobai, but she was instantly killed by a single sword strike.


    ¡°He probably comprehended it himself, right? I wonder if he can break Yuan Yang¡¯s record.¡±


    Qing Nu, having drunk the water and calming down for a good while, finally managed to rid the burning sensation sparked by the annihilation of her projected avatar in the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion. She got up, clicked on the screen and watched Chen Mobai¡¯s subsequent battles.


    ¡°It might be a little difficult now; they¡¯ve matched him up with this guy.¡±


    Upon seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s next opponent at this moment, Zhongli Yi couldn¡¯t help but widen her eyes and let out a sigh.


    It was a man with rough and coarse features, his skin faintly yellow, and his hands and feet were thick.


    ¡°Who is this person?¡±


    Qing Nu knew that even though Zhongli Yi was average in magic duels, because her background was from the Zhongli Clan and she was part of Repair Group, she was very familiar with the genius standout talents of the Immortal Sects.


    She had personally experienced Chen Mobai¡¯s strength, but upon seeing the man, she felt that Mobai could lose.


    So clearly, this man¡¯s origin and strength must be outstanding.


    ¡°He¡¯s Lu Qiulong!¡±


    Upon hearing this name, Qing Nu couldn¡¯t help but widen her eyes in surprise.


    It¡¯s actually him.


    ¡­


    After sending Qing Nu off, Chen Mobai let out a long sigh.


    This obstacle could only be crossed by Qing Nu herself.


    He shook his head, cleared his thoughts, and clicked the pairing button again.


    A man who looked somewhat old appeared in front of him.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye was active, and he had already seen through his opponent¡¯s cultivation level.


    Foundation Establishment Rank-5.


    His vitality was more vigorous than normal people¡¯s, almost like it was burning. When Chen Mobai tried to look closer, he found the opponent¡¯s vitality suddenly transform into a mighty, colourful big bug with its mouth wide open, rushing into Chen Mobai¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion through his gaze.


    Roar!


    Caught off guard, a tiger materialized in front of the Green Paulownia Seedling that Chen Mobai had just divided his consciousness into.


    Its white teeth were poised to snap up the Green Paulownia Seedling.


    Clang!


    The sound of metal singing as swords were unsheathed rang out, a green sprout fell and transformed into an invisible blade whistling down, cutting into the middle of the roaring character on the tiger¡¯s forehead in the blink of an eye.


    Under the Divine Slash, the illusionary bloodthirsty tiger formed by the condensation of vitality instantly dissipated within Chen Mobai¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    But that attack had still taken Mobai by surprise and his previously somewhat relaxed spirit was immediately reinvigorated.


    At this time, because of his horrifying combat record, the only individuals that could be matched with him were those also undefeated or the peak individuals among those at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.


    These individuals all had terrifying dueling capabilities, having carved out their own impressive reputations within Little Red Sky.


    ¡°Lu Qiulong.¡±


    The man stated his name, and Chen Mobai nodded to indicate he remembered him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know who I am?¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s calm expression after hearing his name, Lu Qiulong was puzzled and couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Are you famous?¡±


    Chen Mobai actually hadn¡¯t heard of the name Lu Qiulong before. He was sincerely immersed in his cultivation within the Immortal Sects, collecting resources in the Tianhe realm, and practicing cultivation in the Crimson Mountain.


    He didn¡¯t concern himself with events outside his window.


    ¡°Oh no, how could the president run into this guy!¡±


    Meanwhile, the members of the Dance Tool Dao Academy Student Union who had been paying close attention to Chen Mobai saw his opponent, and even Ming Yu, who had always respected him like a god, couldn¡¯t help but frown.

    ¡°I saw he¡¯s just at Rank-5 Foundation Establishment; old Chen has killed about a dozen or so Rank-5 opponents under his sword. Is this man really so terrifying that you¡¯re afraid of him?¡±


    Ming Yuhua, who had come to watch on the big screen, saw the Student Union members react as if they were on the brink of a crisis and scratched his head, expressing his confusion.


    ¡°This man is the best graduate from the True Spiritual Academy. Although his cultivation level isn¡¯t high, his companion beast is an Extremely Wicked Tiger at the peak of Rank-2. Its combat strength is so strong, it even ranked among those at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Hua Zijing looked extremely worried.


    ¡°Then there¡¯s even less to fear. Artifacts aren¡¯t allowed in Little Red Sky, let alone spirit beasts. Old Chen is sure to win.¡±

 Chapter 357 - Chapter 357: Chapter 280 Lu Qiulong_2

    Chapter 357: Chapter 280 Lu Qiulong_2


    Ming Yuhua¡¯s view, however, was different from those of the student council members.


    ¡°The True Spirit Academy is different. If they know their opponent is strong, they can absorb the power of their spirit beast in advance, regardless of the spiritual consumption,¡± he said.


    Lu Tiansuan voiced out everyone¡¯s concern. Upon listening, Ming Yuhua couldn¡¯t help but gasp in surprise.


    If it were indeed the case, Chen Mobai might truly not stand a chance.


    Now, all they could do was hope that Lu Qiulong had not done so.


    Chen Mobai was oblivious to this.


    After knowing that his opponent was Lu Qiulong, all the cultivators watching the Little Red Sky livestream diverted their attention to watch their fierce competition.


    At this moment, this magic duel topped the trending list on every portal website and forum.


    ¡°Do you belong to the Kunpeng Daoist Institute or the True Spirit Academy?¡± Chen Mobai asked Lu Qiulong. The famous beast tamers were from these two institutions.


    ¡°True Spirit Academy.¡±


    ¡°Oh, what a pity.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the pity?¡±


    ¡°Most of the power of you beast tamers lies with your spirit beasts. In this Little Red Sky, you can¡¯t fully exert your strength and fight at your best.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he retracted his Void Spirit Eye.


    Undoubtedly, Lu Qiulong had reached deep into spiritual cultivation. His bloodline and beast tamer aptitude combined, bearing the fierce and evil Qi of the Extremely Wicked Tiger. If it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai¡¯s counteracting Divine Slash, he might¡¯ve already been defeated at first glance.


    ¡°No pity, because I knew I would face you today. Hence, I borrowed some power from my spirit beast in advance,¡± said Lu Qiulong. As he spoke, his fists clenched.


    With a boom!


    A magnificent surge of blood and evil aura burst out from all over his body, tearing his upper body clothes apart and revealing his muscular and perfect physique.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes locked onto Lu Qiulong!


    Beyond his sight, Lu Qiulong disappeared all of a sudden. A terrifying fist force, indescribable in words, loaded with ferocious evil Qi, aimed right at Chen Mobai¡¯s right cheek.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    This pure physical speed was the fastest that Chen Mobai had encountered in his over a hundred fights.


    Fortunately, his sword light had reached the level of reacting as swiftly as his thoughts.


    He lifted one finger on his right hand, a brilliant deep purple sword light erupted, perfectly intersecting with Lu Qiulong¡¯s punch before it could hit his cheek.


    Sword light and fist force!


    From the very beginning, they clashed directly with their powers!


    In the midst of a thunderous boom, after Lu Qiulong¡¯s left fist was blocked by the sword light, he wore a wild grin. Without advancing, he retreated, and his right fist-force, loaded with explosive blood force, heavily smashed towards Chen Mobai¡¯s chin.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai raised his left index finger and pointed a sword at him.


    With a bang!


    A massive impact spread from the center where the two were, and Chen Mobai immediately flew backward.


    While retreating, he clasped his palms together, and dazzling red electricity had already begun to form in his palm.


    On the other hand, Lu Qiulong grounded his feet and, like a cannonball, counterattacked and sprinted towards Chen Mobai.


    Amidst the roaring sound!


    Lu Qiulong crashed directly into the Bing Fire Divine Thunder Technique. His whole body hair ignited, his bronze skin radiated streaks of red lightning, but he forcefully disrupted the powerful spell.


    He was getting close to Chen Mobai once again.


    At this point, a pair of fireballs formed in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm along with the exhalation of sword light.


    With a swing of both fists, the fireball and Sword Light shattered simultaneously.


    But in the face of a strong adversary, Chen Mobai started to display his talent in Magic Duel. His hands moved again, his Divine Sense started to operate, wielding the Fire Chain Technique from the Eternal Life Sect.


    Flames and Sword Light, scattered by Lu Qiulong, rapidly consolidated under his control. They transformed into large fire chains, seemingly rooted in the void and firmly bound Lu Qiulong, who had already made it to Chen Mobai¡¯s front.


    After control was established, a shimmering light sparkled in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, he opened his right hand, and within his palm, a cluster of purple-green flames began to burn, an awe-inspiring and terrifying Sword Light was about to burst forth.


    Lu Qiulong felt the power of his Spirit Beast within him rapidly depleting while also being astonished at Chen Mobai¡¯s terrifying power, but the equation for victory was already in his hands.


    Roar!


    After a thunderous roar, his blood surged, and his entire body transformed into a three-meter-high fierce tiger, breaking free from all the fire chains, and lunged towards Chen Mobai.


    At the same time, Purple Fire Sword Light, aroused by operating Sun Raising Technique with Fire Spirit Body, extended from the palm of Chen Mobai, directly piercing the center of the huge mouth of the fierce tiger that Lu Qiulong transformed into.


    ¡°Who won!¡±


    On the outside, under the dazzling purple-green firelight intermingled with an impressive burst of Qi and blood, everyone was prevented from seeing the scene clearly where the two of them locked in combat.


    Just as Hua Zijing and Ming Yuhua were clenching their fists tightly in tension, the Spiritual Light surrounding the two of them began to fade away.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Light was held by Lu Qiulong with his left hand, redirecting what would have been a fatal injury piercing his heart, to his left shoulder.


    Although his left hand was rendered useless, he managed to avoid death and being disqualified. At the same time, Lu Qiulong¡¯s right hand turned into a claw, holding Chen Mobai¡¯s neck, looking as if he was about to decapitate him.


    However, a cluster of clear Spiritual Light transformed into an invisible barrier, akin to an aura, protecting Chen Mobai¡¯s neck, preventing his right hand from advancing further.


    This was ¡°Heavenly Wood Spirit Light¡±, that Chen Mobai had worked hard on for nearly two years after his Foundation Establishment!


    As an immature version of ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡±, the supreme secret technique of the Divine Wood Sect, this Heavenly Wood Spirit Light may not possess much offensive power, but with the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue that Chen Mobai learned from the Eternal Life Sect, its form could vary, making it his most powerful defensive technique.


    ¡°Weren¡¯t you supposed to perform Foundation Establishment using Pure Yang Scroll?¡±


    Lu Qiulong looked surprised as he glanced at the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light that was defending against his right claw. He could sense that it was transformed from a Wood Attribute Spiritual Power, which perfectly countered his Earth Spiritual Power.


    ¡°Your Earth Spiritual Power counters my Fire Attribute Sword Qi, indeed, you are the most suitable opponent to face me.¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai wanted to pull his right Sword Finger out of the blood hole in Lu Qiulong¡¯s shoulder, but the latter held it tight, immobilizing him.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that your previous hundred or so opponents were too weak, they didn¡¯t push you hard enough to reveal your trump cards.¡±


    Lu Qiulong expressed his sentiments as the nails of his right hand, under his Spiritual Power, transformed into five sharp blades. They slowly yet firmly pierced into Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, almost scratching Chen Mobai¡¯s neck.


    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t the True Spiritual Academy stand with the Kunpeng Daoist Institute?¡±


    Suddenly, Chen Mobai said something that caused Lu Qiulong to frown.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Taishi Shu was defeated by the Pure Yang Academy not long ago, Lan Haitian, out of resentment towards Xiahou Weihuan and others for bullying the weak, has already come to Crimson City, I originally thought that you ought to be fighting against the Pure Yang Academy, instead.¡±


    Lu Qiulong¡¯s face changed at Chen Mobai¡¯s words, but soon he shook his head.


    ¡°Although I am a graduate of the True Spiritual Academy, I come first, since I promised to beat you, I will fulfill that commitment.¡±


    As Lu Qiulong finished speaking, his eyes suddenly turned into the pupils of a tiger, his left hand firmly gripped Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Finger, and one of the five right claws finally broke through Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, seeming about to slice the latter¡¯s throat.


    ¡°Such a pity, I had hoped to make your surrender honorable.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly let out a sigh. As Lu Qiulong wondered what that meant, the latter¡¯s entire head suddenly exploded into blood and gore.


    To face such a formidable adversary, Chen Mobai used a ¡°Divine Slash¡± evolved from his flower fruit-shaped Divine Consciousness Forming.

    If Lu Qiulong had been in his prime, he certainly wouldn¡¯t have suffered so easily.


    But after a fierce battle with Chen Mobai, along with Lu Qiulong holding his breath while forcefully absorbing his Spirit Beast¡¯s powers just to fight Chen Mobai, he had already been significantly drained, which consequently led to his demise.


    Chen Mobai lifted his right hand with its bending and straightening fingers, and with intersecting Sword Qi, sliced Lu Qiulong, who had been restraining him, into several pieces.


    In the midst of the blood rain, he looked up at the final trace of his adversary and expressed his heartfelt admiration.


    ¡°A formidable opponent indeed.¡±

 Chapter 358 - Chapter 358: Chapter 281: Lan Haitian’s Strength _1

    Chapter 358: Chapter 281: Lan Haitian¡¯s Strength _1


    ¡°He actually won.¡±


    Among the Patch Up Crew, Zhongli Yi seemed astonished at Chen Mobai, who was standing unscathed in the middle of the screen, disbelief in her eyes.


    ¡°It appears that this Lu Qiulong isn¡¯t as splendid as his fame suggests.¡±


    She shook her head as she spoke. As one of the vice team leaders of the Patch Up Crew, she was not only in charge of medical affairs and dispensing medicines, but also for managing all sorts of information and intelligence.


    She had seen a top-tier document about Lu Qiulong once.


    It stated that the Patch Up Crew was focusing on nurturing him. After Lan Haitian retired, they planned to invite him to maintain order, serving as another Foundation Establishment heavyweight.


    Seeing now, he was just so-so.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t there a possibility that the head of Dance Tool Dao Academy is just too strong?¡±


    Qing Nu calmly commented, leaving Zhongli Yi stumped.


    ¡°If that were the case, he would be too overwhelmingly strong.¡±


    With her eyes fixed on that elegantly-dressed young man in a red and black robe, Zhongli Yi could not help but sigh.


    In the student association of the Crimson Mountain¡­


    Ming Yuhua and others were overwhelmed with joy, while Hua Zijing was astonished in front of the screen, unable to believe her eyes.


    She knew that Chen Mobai was very strong, but she had never imagined that he would win to this extent.


    That was Lu Qiulong!


    He was known as the Ferocious Tiger of the Immortal Doors, a Foundation Establishment powerhouse famous for his formidable fighting ability.


    After watching the results of this battle, Meng Huang felt a great sense of relief.


    She put her cell phone away, finished her break, returned to the broadcasting studio, and continued rehearsing with the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe.


    ¡°Why were you gone for so long?¡±


    Jiang Yuyuan, who had already sweated through his training, noticed the joy in Meng Huang and asked curiously.


    ¡°I watched an amazing show.¡±


    ¡°An amazing show? What kind of show?¡±


    Meng Huang shot a contemptuous glance at Jiang Yuyuan. Unfortunately, he was a natural drama addict. His obsession was the reason he outperformed her, finished his foundation establishment early on and was a prime candidate for mastering the Shocking God Sonata.


    Because she was unable to establish her foundation after two long years, she was about to drag down the average level of Dance Tool Dao Academy. The people who flattered her started to look at her differently.


    [If only I could be as outstanding as him.]


    Thinking of Chen Mobai just now, how he casually defeated Lu Qiulong, Meng Huang became lost in thought.


    In a certain area of the Crimson City square, Lan Haitian looked on in surprise as Chen Mobai chopped Lu Qiulong into pieces on the large screen.


    ¡°This guy seems stronger than before.¡±


    Naturally, Lin Yin was at Lan Haitian¡¯s side. She had witnessed the entire battle between Chen Mobai and Lu Qiulong. Having personally assessed their strengths before, she had originally thought that Lu Qiulong had a better chance of winning.


    She had once encountered Lu Qiulong while on a mission with Lan Haitian.


    They had fought once.


    Faced with Lu Qiulong who had merged with his Rank-2 peak partner beast, Lan Haitian had a hard time winning.


    For this very reason, she thought that Chen Mobai would be slightly inferior.


    Who knew, he ended up winning.


    ¡°If he had prepared in advance, he could only possibly absorb 20% of the Tiger¡¯s Evil Qi. It¡¯s normal for him to lose.¡±


    Lan Haitian instantly saw the reason for Lu Qiulong¡¯s defeat.


    ¡°Oh, so you thought Lu Qiulong would lose before they even fought?¡±


    Lin Yin was a bit puzzled.


    ¡°No, like you, I thought the same.¡±


    Hesitating momentarily, Lan Haitian spoke the truth.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s victory was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations.


    This naturally included the Pure Yang Academy, who had personally arranged this match.


    ¡°If Lu Qiulong was defeated, who can conquer him among the late-stage foundation establishment?¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan frowned as he turned to Pure Yang Academy¡¯s top student of this generation, Wenren Zijing. Despite the academy¡¯s investment, the latter had only reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.


    Even when faced with the late-stage foundation establishment, relying on the Pure Yang Scroll and the Primordial Yang Sword Secret, there might still be a chance to fight.


    But if he were to have a magic duel with Lu Qiulong, there would certainly be no chance of survival.


    ¡°Senior, although I¡¯m not a match for him, this concerns our ancestor¡¯s record. Even if it means dying once, I must fight.¡±


    With unwavering determination, Wenren Zijing said this as he was about to resolutely project himself into Little Red Sky.


    ¡°If nothing else works, let¡¯s use the strategy we discussed before.¡±


    At this moment, Sima Xingyu blocked him, opening his eyes to speak.


    ¡°Your sacrifice is too great, I won¡¯t agree unless it¡¯s the last resort,¡± Xiahou Weihuan shook his head , rejecting Sima Xingyu¡¯s proposal.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait till he wins one hundred and nineteen battles.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Nevertheless, seeing Chen Mobai, the God-like being in the screen who had defeated three powerful opponents again, Xiahou Weihuan eventually wavered. With a sigh, he nodded reluctantly.


    ¡°Let me warm up the battleground then. I¡¯ll try to dig up some information on Chen Mobai for my senior.¡±


    Wenren Zijing volunteered, and the other two agreed.


    ¡°Alas, I¡¯m feeling frustrated. I need to vent it out in Little Red Sky.¡±


    Seeing Wenren Zijing looking as if he was prepared for death, Xiahou Weihuan is no longer able to suppress the pent-up anger he had for the two or three days due to Chen Mobai¡¯s successive victories. He projected himself into Little Red Sky, intending to find a couple of opponents to kill in a fit of rage.

 Chapter 359 - Chapter 359: Chapter 281 Lan Haitian’s Strength_2

    Chapter 359: Chapter 281 Lan Haitian¡¯s Strength_2


    In view of this, Sima Xingyu did not stop him. Cultivators of the Pure Yang Scroll, in order to better break through the realm and keep their spells pure and powerful, basically follow the example of Yuan Yang¡¯s ancestors, remaining celibate for life to preserve their juvenile purity.


    In such cases, there will be an excessive amount of yang energy in the body, if the spiritual realm is not high, there will often be a situation of intense emotional fluctuations.


    That Xiahou Weihuan could suppress it for two or three days already proved his divine sense realm was high enough.


    But these two chiefs, the most outstanding in the Pure Yang Academy for a century, did not know, that there was a shark hidden in the sea, waiting for his entry.


    ¡°Xiahou Weihuan has appeared.¡±


    Above the square, Lin Yin couldn¡¯t help feeling thrilled when he saw the image in the upper right corner of the big screen.


    ¡°Lucky me. I didn¡¯t have to wait too long.¡±


    Lan Haitian saw the image of Xiahou Weihuan beheading his opponent with a single sword and a relaxed and satisfied smile crept up his lips.


    Then, he divided his divine sense into two and projected it into the Little Red Sky.


    ¡°They are all trash.¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan was matched with a cultivator at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. While it appeared that he had a good chance of winning, he still couldn¡¯t block his sword.


    If only he could be matched with that junior from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy!


    Xiahou Weihuan, who was feeling even more upset, clicked the match button again after slaying his opponent.


    Today, he decided to kill thirty.


    And then, his third opponent of the day appeared before him.


    The first thing that appeared was a blue and white long robe. There was an embroidery of a strange creature with a dragon head, a fish body, and wings on the robe.


    ¡°Flying Fish Python, it also has two horns. It is the Kunpeng Flying Fish Suit, don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s Taishi Shu again.¡±


    As the opponent¡¯s projected incarnation gradually solidified, a grin spread across Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s face. Compared to the weaklings, he preferred killing stronger opponents head-on.


    Although Taishi Shu was just at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, as the chief of Kunpeng Daoist Academy, her strength was so formidable that probably only he and Xingyu could say with certainty that they could win against her among the True Cultivators of Foundation Establishment who had graduated from the Pure Yang Academy.


    That¡¯s perfect. Another loss should help him vent much of the anger in his heart.


    Xiahou Weihuan thought with his hands behind his back, waiting arrogantly for the appearance of Taishi Shu.


    But soon he felt something was wrong.


    Only those who projected into the Little Red Sky for the first time would be this slow.


    Could it be that it¡¯s not Taishi Shu, but some other True Cultivator of Foundation Establishment from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy?


    Could it be they are sore losers and have called for reinforcements?


    After this thought flashed through his mind, Xiahou Weihuan frowned slightly. But he was extremely confident in himself. Except for Lan Haitian, he was not afraid of any other graduated chiefs from Kunpeng Daoist Academy.


    However, it was exactly what he feared that came.


    When the incarnation of his opponent finally took shape, not only Xiahou Weihuan but everyone in the Immortal Sect who was watching him had their eyes wide-open.


    What¡¯s going on!


    How come this guy is here!


    Can¡¯t the Kunpeng Daoist Academy bear to lose?


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard of your reputation, saying that you are the most likely genius to become invincible within the realm of Foundation Establishment after me.¡±


    Lan Haitian said with a gentle smile to Xiahou Weihuan.


    ¡°You have been invincible for sixty years and are about to reach Core Formation. If you lose to me, you might have a flaw in your Dao¡¯s heart. Is it worth it?¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan, being one of the most outstanding graduates of the Pure Yang Academy in the last century, was only fifty years old, and faced Lan Haitian, who was almost seen as a legendary undefeated myth in the Foundation Establishment realm, was still thinking of ways to break his opponent¡¯s will.


    ¡°Not losing is the solution.¡±


    Lan Haitian said nonchalantly, then raised his right hand.


    Clang!


    Seeing this, Xiahou Weihuan didn¡¯t dare to neglect and immediately displayed his proudest Yuan Yang Sword Light.


    ¡­


    After the Purple Fire Sword Light flashed past and mutually neutralized his opponent¡¯s Yuan Yang Sword Qi, Chen Mobai blinked.


    Upon launching the Divine Slash, Wen Renzijue, who was already exhausted, could no longer hang on. His head burst open, he collapsed on the ground and disappeared from the field.


    One hundred and nineteen victories!


    Chen Mobai looked at his record. He needs only one more round to surpass Yuan Yang¡¯s ancestor and enjoy the longest winning streak in the Little Red Sky.


    The feeling of personally breaking something is indescribably delightful.


    Just as Chen Mobai decided to go for it and match again, he suddenly stopped.


    His external physical body saw the push notifications on the phone.


    [Peak confrontation, Foundation Establishment unbeatable legend VS First Foundation Establishment of the Pure Yang Academy]


    [Shocking, Lan Haitian and Taishi Shu have such a relationship]


    [Bursting with anger for the sake of a beauty, why did Lan Haitian not mind bullying the weak to stand up for Taishi Shu, please click the following link]


    [Xiahou Weihuan is only one battle away from the throne of Foundation Establishment King, becoming the second Yuan Yang ancestor.]


    If he didn¡¯t know the ins and outs of Lan Haitian¡¯s visit to the Crimson City Cave, Chen Mobai almost believed these eye-catching headlines just by looking at them.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, this battle, there is no doubt, is extremely important.


    So, he decided to wait.


    Wait until Lan Haitian defeats Xiahou Weihuan, then seize the opportunity to go beyond the winning streak of Yuan Yang¡¯s ancestor, deal a double blow to the Pure Yang Academy.


    So, he exited the Little Red Sky and put his full attention on live streaming.


    Meanwhile, Sima Xingyu, who had scrapped his cultivation level of Foundation Establishment 8 layer and dropped his realm to Foundation Establishment 6 layer, was waiting for Chen Mobai to rematch, his face turned red, waiting left and right, but to no avail.

 Chapter 360 - Chapter 360: Chapter 281 Lan Haitian’s Strength_3

    Chapter 360: Chapter 281 Lan Haitian¡¯s Strength_3


    ¡°What¡¯s happening, could it be that someone else has queued up?¡±


    Simaxingyu asked anxiously, and the person in charge of technology at the Pure Yang Academy immediately contacted the operator of Little Red Sky to confirm the backend connection was not interrupted, ensuring that as long as Chen Mobai clicked to match, his next opponent would be him.


    ¡°He seems, he has withdrawn!¡±


    Soon, the manager of Little Red Sky sent a message. After seeing it, Simaxingyu could no longer hold back his injuries and vomited blood.


    ¡°There¡¯s bad news, senior.¡±


    Just then, another piece of bad news arrived.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    Simaxingyu activated Pure Yang Scroll to suppress his Spiritual Power, then asked with patience.


    ¡°Senior Xiahou got matched with Lan Haitian!¡±


    Bang!


    Simaxingyu jumped up, knocking over the table in front of him, he immediately switched channels to observe Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s.


    As soon as he switched, he saw his idolized senior getting beaten.


    ¡°The Primordial Yang Sword Secret is indeed outstanding.¡±


    In Little Red Sky, Lan Haitian moved his hands, suppressing and tearing apart the sword light unleashed by Xiahou Weihuan. Then his whole person seemed to become a phantom, suddenly shifting in front of the latter.


    A heavy punch was thrown, although Xiahou Weihuan timely used sword technique to defend, he still heard the sound of his right hand fingers snapping.


    Like being hit by a heavy steel hammer, even if his sword light could cut open a mountain, at this moment, his sword was still broken.


    ¡°There¡¯s still a chance!¡±


    However, Xiahou Weihuan was also a peak practitioner of the Foundation Establishment realm, and the combination of Pure Yang Scroll and Primordial Yang Sword Secret enhanced his strength, allowing him to break free of the Yuan Magnetic Force of Lan Haitian in an instant.


    His eyes began to burn with blood, like two blazing red suns, his whole body seemed to burn with qi and blood, his already powerful aura broke through the boundary of the Foundation Establishment realm in an instant, reaching a terrifying realm.


    ¡°Burning Blood and Opening Sun Sword!¡±


    This was Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s desperate move, which required burning half of the essence blood in his body. If it weren¡¯t for the exemption in Little Red Sky, he would rather admit defeat than use this move.


    But at this moment, this became his only opportunity to shake things up.


    Feeling the vastly more majestic Spiritual Power than his peak state, Xiahou Weihuan extended his burning hands, revealing his skeletal fingers. He pretended to hold a bloody light sword and slashed heavily in the direction of the chasing Lan Haitian.


    With this sword thrust, the void trembled, the space twisted.


    A Core Formation expert¡¯s move would be no more than this.


    ¡°I might be able to win!¡±


    The thought just flashed across Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s mind, he saw Lan Haitian stretching out his fair and slender right hand, gently grabbing his emitted bloody sword light.


    Then, Lan Haitian tightened his fingers.


    Crack!


    The bloody sword light was shattered.

    ¡°Is that all you¡¯ve got?¡±


    Lan Haitian¡¯s sighing voice reached Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s ears, then his whole body swept past, and the latter¡¯s half body was crushed into blood mist and bone fragments under the sweep of his right hand.


    ¡°Is this guy really just at Foundation Establishment level?¡±


    After watching Lan Haitian cleanly and decisively defeat Xiahou Weihuan, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help widening his eyes.


    He had never seen anyone from the Tianhe Realm who was invincible at the Foundation Establishment level, but he imagined that even those who had grown up in bloody battles would not be as good as Lan Haitian.

 Chapter 361 - Chapter 361: Chapter 282: Core Formation Probability_1

    Chapter 361: Chapter 282: Core Formation Probability_1


    After Lan Haitian¡¯s victory over Xiahou Weihuan, he continued to compete in the Little Red Sky for thirteen matches.


    With his strength, he naturally had no rivals.


    The reason for only thirteen consecutive victories was not due to Lan Haitian being exhausted or uninterested in fighting.


    Rather, there were no late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators in Little Red Sky who dared to compete.


    Although he could still get matched with some mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, Lan Haitian felt quite indifferent towards this. After defeating a Rank-5 sword cultivator in the thirteenth match, he chose not to engage in another match and exited the Little Red Sky.


    ¡°Zijing, is there any interesting place to visit in our Daoist Academy?¡±


    In the student council, Hua Zijing, who had watched two consecutive battles, received a call from Chen Mobai, who asked a rather peculiar question.


    ¡°Visit? Do you have a friend coming over?¡±


    As the vice-president and the head of the secretary¡¯s office of the student council, Hua Zijing instinctively thought of this upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s question.


    ¡°Yeah, you can set up the schedule and write up the itinerary for me, including lunch. The food should preferably be the characteristic delicacies of our Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡°I am the head of the secretary¡¯s office in the student council, not your personal secretary. You should arrange for your own friend¡¯s visit.¡±


    Hua Zijing responded, sounding quite disgruntled.


    Ming Yu and a few others on the side were constantly winking at her, suggesting that it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for her to act as the president¡¯s secretary, as none of the student council members had an issue with it.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s like this. My friend is technically coming on a private visit, but in reality, he¡¯s been invited by our Daoist Academy as a helper. Apart from visiting Crimson Mountain, we also plan to show him a great time to express our Daoist Academy¡¯s gratitude.¡±


    The words that came over the phone from Chen Mobai confused Hua Zijing a little.


    ¡°Our academy¡¯s gratitude? Who is it? This person must be quite an important figure.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Lan Haitian!¡±


    Upon hearing this name, Hua Zijing¡¯s hand trembled and her phone almost slipped out of her hand onto the floor.


    ¡°Lan¡­ Mr¡­ Are you¡­ friends with him?¡±


    Hua Zijing, who was usually decisive, calm, and collected, suddenly discovered that she was quite stuttering.


    ¡°Yes, during my entrance exam to the Daoist Academy, the representative from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute was him. We hit it off well and became friends-cum-confidants.¡±


    ¡°When Pure Yang Academy crossed the line this time, he heard about Taishi Shu¡¯s defeat and as he was nearby, he came to help us out.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a shame that Sima Xingyu did not dare to enter the Little Red Sky for a match, otherwise we would¡¯ve made short work of those from Pure Yang Academy today.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s regretful voice came through the phone, causing Hua Zijing and the rest of the student council to open their mouths wide in shock.


    ¡°I understand now, Mr. President. Don¡¯t worry, I will make sure everything is arranged perfectly, you¡¯ll be utterly satisfied.¡±


    In the end, Hua Zijing responded seriously.


    After hanging up the phone, she immediately started giving orders to the student council members to start preparing and purchasing ingredients.


    Ming Yuhua was just about to leave when he was caught by her sharp eyes. She ordered him to go with her to invite the master chef.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this a bit too grand?¡±


    That day, Lan Haitian, who had just visited Che Yucheng, was brought around Crimson Mountain by Chen Mobai for half a day. After that, they came to the student council¡¯s dining room arranged by Hua Zijing.


    In the face of the lavish spread of food and the man and woman in black suits serving on either side, Lan Haitian was somewhat overwhelmed.


    ¡°You stood up for our Daoist Academy, no amount of grandeur is excessive. Here, this is the Transparent Spirit Fish grown in the underground currents of the Treasure Trove, I heard the taste is exquisite. I¡¯ve never tasted it before.¡±


    Seeing the dish being served, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but swallow.


    This Spirit Fish was something he had only heard of, rumored that a student had spent 1 academic credit to exchange for this delicacy.


    Hua Zijing and Ming Yuhua on the side immediately helped to cut up the half-transparent crystal-like steamed fish and placed it in front of the two of them.


    After tasting it, both Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian couldn¡¯t stop praising it.


    There was no need for any added seasoning, the original taste after steaming was better than the Azure Blood Carps that Chen Mobai had eaten before.


    However, this fish only had taste, it could not enhance the Spiritual Root.


    After a series of dishes, Chen Mobai also brought out his own brewed Jade Bud Spirit Wine.


    Lan Haitian took a few sips.


    Everyone at the feast was pleased.


    After dinner, Che Yucheng came again.


    He took them to the core of the Treasure Trove where Duanmu Longrong was.


    ¡°Pick one.¡±


    Duanmu Longrong had already prepared five ¡°Device Nurturing Spheres.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m truly unworthy of such treatment.¡±


    Lan Haitian felt a bit embarrassed. He had heard about the Treasure Trove from Chen Mobai in the morning and knew how precious these ¡°Device Nurturing Spheres¡± were. Plus, he was merely following Nan Dou¡¯s orders, the Dance Tool Dao Academy did not really owe him anything.


    ¡°Heh, just take it, otherwise, Nan Dou will definitely say we¡¯re stingy when you go back.¡±


    Che Yucheng smiled and indicated for Lan Haitian to accept.

    ¡°Right, it¡¯s the give-and-take principle. This way, the bond between us can deepened. The four major Daoist Academies share a common lot. As you¡¯ve helped us this time, it¡¯s natural to present you a Rank-3 Magic Artifact as a sign of appreciation.¡±


    While Duanmu Longrong was speaking, she took out a Device Piece and handed it to Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Well then, I will not decline any more.¡±


    Lan Haitian picked up all five ¡°Device Nurturing Spheres¡± and played around with them. He also tried to inject his Spiritual Power into them to sense the attributes of the artifacts within.


    Chen Mobai was initially a bystander, but Che Yucheng gave him a meaningful look. The master-student pair shared an understanding, and he immediately understood his master¡¯s intention. This was to go all out for the occasion, to be thoroughly kind to the guest.

 Chapter 362 - Chapter 362: Chapter 282: Core Formation Probability_2

    Chapter 362: Chapter 282: Core Formation Probability_2


    It would also grant him a personal favor.


    ¡°The seal on this item blocks divine sense and spiritual power. Only the Art of Spiritual Eyes can see directly through it.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai activated his Void Spirit Eye and then described what he saw in detail.


    ¡°You possess a True Spirit Root with dual attributes of earth and metal. This Star Concentrating Stone or this Sky Spider Hand is more suitable for you.¡±


    In front of Duanmu Longrong and Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai compared the images from the Map of Treasures, asked about Lan Haitian¡¯s spiritual root, and then gave his own opinion.


    ¡°If it¡¯s for combat, naturally the Sky Spider Hand is more suitable.¡±


    After Lan Haitian said this, he chose the Star Concentrating Stone.


    ¡°But in fact, I am not someone who enjoys battle. The reason I joined the Heaven Patching Group before was merely to obtain resources for Core Formation. After retirement, I probably will be casually fishing and gardening, so I choose this.¡±


    The Star Concentrating Stone is a Rank-3 lower-grade magic artifact, mined from the extremely northern lands of the immortals.


    The place naturally attracts meteor falls over time. After millions of years of impact, the permafrost layers have absorbed the power of the celestial stars. It was also nurtured at a yuan magnet pole, and then further refined by an artifact refiner from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, which made it a Rank-3 item just based on the material alone.


    Most importantly, this Star Concentrating Stone is just an embryo of a magic artifact, which can be refined by anyone into their own legal treasure.


    If Lan Haitian reaches Core Formation, he can use his own elixir fire to refine the Star Concentrating Stone into the magic artifact shape he likes.


    For this reason, even though the Sky Spider Hand is a Rank-3 intermediate-grade magic artifact, Lan Haitian still chose the Star Concentrating Stone.


    Apart from him saying that he does not wish to battle anymore, this reason is probably also included.


    ¡°Thank you for your academy¡¯s gift.¡±


    Although Lan Haitian has used many Rank-3 magic artifacts from the immortal doors in the Heaven Patching Group over the years, as a cultivator on the verge of Core Formation, his desire for his own legal treasure is incomparable to any Rank-3 item.


    The Star Concentrating Stone contains the power of celestial stars and earth magnets, very suitable for his spiritual root. When Lan Haitian felt it for a while after getting his hand on it, he couldn¡¯t help but reveal a look of joy due to his realm.


    ¡°With your foundation, coupled with the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, you might join us soon enough. Consider this as establishing good karma beforehand.¡±


    Che Yucheng spoke his mind.


    Lan Haitian once again expressed his thanks, bid farewell to Duanmu Longrong, and the three of them returned the way they came, leaving the Treasure Trove.


    ¡°When you visit the Huayang Dongtian one day, I will properly entertain you.¡±


    At the entrance to Crimson Mountain, Lan Haitian sincerely said this when saying goodbye.


    ¡°Certainly.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded with a smile.


    Next to him were Hua Zijing and Ming Yuhua who followed him over. At this moment, they finally couldn¡¯t help themselves and went forward to ask Lan Haitian for an autograph.


    In the eyes of these proud sons of heaven from the four major Daoist academies, being a celebrity meant nothing.


    Only someone like Lan Haitian, a True Cultivator, was worthy of their admiration.


    After saying goodbye, Chen Mobai returned to the first building.


    ¡°Has he left?¡±


    ¡°He said he is still going to stay in the vicinity of the Crimson City cave for a while to guard against Xiahou Weihuan projecting back into the Little Red Sky after he leaves.¡±


    Che Yucheng listened, then nodded.


    ¡°He can probably reach Core Formation. This Star Concentrating Stone is just right for him.¡±


    ¡°Master, I feel with his talent, shouldn¡¯t his success rate of reaching Core Formation be 100%?¡±


    ¡°What do you know? There is no such thing as 100% in this world. Moreover, reaching Core Formation is not the same as Foundation Establishment, which can be assisted by Critical Techniques. If it fails, even though there are pill powers, your life can be saved, but your realm will drop, there will be a significant loss of elemental energy, and there may not be a second chance for Core Formation.¡±


    Che Yucheng shook his head, uttering a statement that caused Chen Mobai to worry.


    Even someone with a foundation like Lan Haitian who also received the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, there is still a possibility of failure.


    Then if he with such a weak foundation, wouldn¡¯t his future be even more uncertain.


    ¡°Master, then what do you think. What are the chances for him reaching Core Formation?¡±


    ¡°About fifty percent.¡±


    ¡°That little?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s already at a high level, his Technique of Turning into Gold has cultivated to the Heavenly Spiritual Root realm, and combined with the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill and the solid foundation of his Six Defense Sutra, they are almost comparable to those innate Heavenly Spiritual Roots.¡±


    With Che Yucheng saying so, Chen Mobai was reminded.


    The Heavenly Spiritual Root for Core Formation has a success possibility of 50%, is there a difference between this posterior cultivation and the prior one?


    ¡°Of course there is, or else why would the Heavenly Spiritual Roots get an exemption to enter the Four Great Daoist Academies? The Heavenly Spiritual Roots that are innate have the favor of the Heavenly Way, which not only can easily help in Foundation Establishment, but also during Core Formation, there¡¯s a high probability of Enlightenment.¡±


    Enlightenment?


    It should be similar to the state after taking the Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai was thinking this way in his mind, but he was also pretending to be a genius, so he dared not ask this question in front of Che Yucheng.


    ¡°The Heavenly Spiritual Roots promoted in the acquired way, although not as good as the innate, still have the advantage for Core Formation, and are even more friendly with the corresponding attributes of nature¡¯s spiritual energy.¡±


    Che Yucheng did not notice the change in Chen Mobai¡¯s expression and kept on speaking.


    ¡°That¡¯s why the cultivators who have reached Perfection in Foundation Establishment from the Immortal Sect, if their lifespan is long enough, will generally try to enhance their spiritual roots corresponding to their Cultivation Techniques to over 80 points, which can increase the probability of Core Formation by about 20%.¡±


    After listening to Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but express that he had learned something new.


    He had just completed his Foundation Establishment and had not looked for Core Formation resources yet. Today, he learned about this thing because of Lan Haitian, and he couldn¡¯t help but praise himself for his self-discipline, dedicating extra time every day to the progress of his Pure Yang Daoist Body by using Spirit Stones.


    Moreover, he also had to thank Che Yucheng for reminding him. If he hadn¡¯t urged him to build up his base, he probably wouldn¡¯t have gotten this opportunity to obtain the Fire Spirit Body.


    Because of this, his Fire Spirit Root was elevated to 63 points. Just by completing the Body of Five Yangs and the Body of Six Yangs, his Fire Spirit Root can be elevated to 81 points, just stepping into the threshold of the Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    By calculating this way, just through the Dual Attribute Technique and the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, he could have a 50% probability of Core Formation, which is comparable to Qing Nu, who has the innate Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    If he could get the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pills from the Immortal Sects again, then it would basically be a sure shot for him towards his Core Formation.


    The more he thought, the more excited he became.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but wish to catch up with Lan Haitian, complete Foundation Establishment, then make a Core formation in one go, and reach the peak.


    ¡°By the way, you can start preparing to break the record of Yuan Yang¡¯s ancestor¡¯s straight wins.¡±


    At this time, Che Yucheng¡¯s words brought Chen Mobai back to reality.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this an easy task? I¡¯ll probably just have to fight one more round with Lu Qiulong.¡±


    Chen Mobai shrugged his shoulders, and he had to say, of all the battles he had in Little Red Sky, Lu Qiulong was the most threatening. If Lu Qiulong could fully control Ling, he might be a tough opponent.


    ¡°No, your opponent will be Sima Xingyu.¡±


    But Che Yucheng smirked and named a person Chen Mobai didn¡¯t expect.


    ¡°He¡¯s only at the 8th level of Foundation Establishment, how could he be matched with me?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked confused.


    ¡°He self-funded his cultivation level to the 6th level of Foundation Establishment, then the operators of Little Red Sky can match you with him.¡±


    ¡°So what if he wins? Pure Yang Academy would lose all its face.¡±


    Chen Mobai frowned, if he were from the Pure Yang Academy, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to hold his head up on the Internet for the rest of his life because of this.


    Probably everyone in the Hundred and Twenty Mansions could taunt the students of the Pure Yang Academy.


    ¡°Saving the face of Yuan Yang¡¯s ancestor is one thing, the main reason is that Nangong Xuanyu was provoked by me previously and made a bet with me.¡±


    ¡°A bet?¡±


    Chen Mobai was puzzled. What bet had led the Pure Yang Academy to such a shameless state?


    ¡°The operation of Little Red Sky can only cover the territories that the Spirit Vein of Crimson Mountain passes through, but Gongye Zhixu wants to fully activate this Spiritual Treasure and cover all the blessed lands and caves. In addition to Rank-5 Spirit Veins, a Rank-5 Magic Artifact is needed as a core to rely on.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Previously, Gongye Zhixu¡¯s intention was not to trouble two with the same matter, to borrow our Daoist Academy¡¯s Nine Dragon Cauldron, which was also of suitable attributes. The Dean initially agreed, but he still wanted to discuss it with us, so he did not agree on the spot.¡±


    ¡°After I came to know about it, I indicated to the Dean to let me deal with this matter completely.¡±


    ¡°When Pure Yang Academy revealed its ambition, I called Gongye Zhixu and said that the Primordial Yang Sword of Pure Yang Academy was also Rank-5. It had been sustained by the Spirit Stones of the Immortal Gate for years to keep it from falling in grade. This was also a huge expense, and the three major palaces had always had grumbles about it. If the Primordial Yang Sword could be used for Little Red Sky, then this financial expenditure of the Immortal Gate would also be justified.¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard this, he blinked his eyes.


    He needed to learn more from the methods of his teacher.

 Chapter 363 - Chapter 363: Chapter 283: Breaking the Record_1

    Chapter 363: Chapter 283: Breaking the Record_1


    ¡°Did the Pure Yang Academy agree?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked. Although no one dared to use the Primordial Yang Sword at this present moment, it was one of the rank-5 flying swords that the cultivator sects could count on and was also a symbol of Pure Yang Academy.


    It was precisely because of owning this flying sword that the Pure Yang Academy could confidently rank in the top three among the ten major academies.


    ¡°Of course they didn¡¯t agree, but sometimes you just can¡¯t win against the odds.¡±


    ¡°Although Gongye Zhixu is the Vice Hall Master of the Xianwu Hall, if our Daoist Academy doesn¡¯t cooperate, this Little Red Sky won¡¯t be able to start.¡±


    ¡°I just proposed it once, but he must have thought it was the dean¡¯s idea, so he invited Nangong Xuanyu and me to discuss it. Just at that time, you were consecutively winning in Little Red Sky, so he proposed to use you as a wager.¡±


    ¡°If you can break the winning streak record of the ancestor Yuan Yang, then the Primordial Yang Sword will be used as the core of Little Red Sky; if not, we will still take the Nine Dragon Cauldron from the depths of the Treasure Trove.¡±


    Che Yucheng explained with a slight smile, revealing some hidden aspects to this. Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    He never expected that he would determine the ownership of a rank-5 legal treasure.


    ¡°With Sima Xingyu self-crippled his cultivation level, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be my match.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very confident in himself.


    During Sima Xingyu¡¯s peak period, he was considered to be the most talented person in Pure Yang Academy for a hundred years, second only to Xiahou Weihuan. He was also the top configuration of the Pure Yang Secret and the Primordial Yang Sword Secret, and he even defeated the Chief of the Repairing Heaven Institute in a direct confrontation.


    If he were to duel with this kind of opponent, the chances of winning indeed would not be high.


    However, at the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Stage Six, sudden changes to his realm would certainly cause problems in controlling his spiritual power and sword qi. If he had these flaws when facing Chen Mobai, there was a high likelihood that he would lose.


    ¡°You¡¯re oversimplifying things.¡±


    Che Yucheng gave Chen Mobai a bewildering response.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, master?¡±


    ¡°In the cultivator world, Sima Xingyu willingly crippled his cultivation level back to Foundation Establishment Stage Six. However, due to the uniqueness of the Little Red Sky and the existing character template of Sima Xingyu, he will be able to use his peak strength at Foundation Establishment Stage Eight when he faces you.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but gasp.


    How is he supposed to fight this!


    Although he did have some tricks up his sleeve, facing this kind of opponent, his odds of winning were likely to be one or two out of ten.


    After all, Sima Xingyu was not an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. In addition to having a top configuration of cultivation techniques and sword secrets, he, like Xiahou Weihuan, had also reached the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission.


    The biggest trick up Chen Mobai¡¯s sleeve when he could defeat opponents above his cultivation level was his sword light, but his opponent also possessed this, perhaps even at a deeper realm.


    Although he could use Dual-phase Rotation to temporarily elevate Pure Yang Scroll to Foundation Establishment Stage Two, in face of Sima Xingyu, a peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage Eight, it was utterly insufficient.


    ¡°Master, doesn¡¯t that mean things look bad for me?¡±


    Chen Mobai started to panic. He didn¡¯t care much about his win-loss record, but if this could affect the important matters of Che Yucheng and Daoist Academy, he would definitely feel guilty.


    ¡°Relax, now that I know this, how could I let Nangong Xuanyu have his way?¡±


    Che Yucheng calmly brewed a cup of tea and drank it leisurely.


    ¡°What¡¯s your plan, master?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, eager to learn more.


    But Che Yucheng simply shake his head, refusing to say more.


    ¡°You just go on fighting your matches, I¡¯ll take care of the rest. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t trust you, but only three people know about this situation. It¡¯s better this way to avoid attracting Nangong Xuanyu¡¯s attention and make him fall into the trap.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai was eager for knowledge, he stopped questioning since Che Yucheng had said so.


    ¡°Can I enter Little Red Sky now and start matching directly?¡±


    Curiosity prompted Chen Mobai to think of the fastest way to find out the truth.


    Che Yucheng nodded, signaling that it was not a problem.


    Lan Haitian, who had just left Crimson Mountain, was on his way. Suddenly, with a subtle smile, he instructed Lin Yin, who was driving, and then leaned back on the rear seat to close his eyes, entering Little Red Sky at the same time.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes and clicked on the match button at the top right corner.


    Instantly, his log-in message was forwarded to the Pure Yang Academy¡¯s side through the operators of Little Red Sky.


    ¡°We¡¯ve been waiting for this.¡±


    In the room, the pale-faced Sima Xingyu stood up, facing Xiahou Weihuan, whose face was tense.


    After losing to Lan Haitian, Xia Hou Weihuan, the strongest cultivator of Foundation Establishment of Pure Yang Academy for the past hundred years, no longer appeared as arrogant and confident as at the beginning.


    ¡°The future of the Academy is entrusted to you.¡±


    However, at this time, Xiahou Weihuan, who was in charge of the situation, could only forcefully cheer up. He led the others over to Sima Xingyu who had injured himself by self-crippling his cultivation level.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Sima Xingyu took a scarlet pill which Pure Yang Academy had kept as a secret medicine. It could restore him to his peak state in a short time and even surpass his previous self, reaching Foundation Establishment Stage Nine.


    Plus the manual adjustments by the operators of Little Red Sky, once he entered, he would be matched with Chen Mobai to complete this final sniping mission.


    ¡°Leave it to me, I must win!¡±


    After definitely stating these words, Sima Xingyu projected himself into Little Red Sky.


    The power of the pill began to function. He could feel that the spiritual power in his Dantian and Qi sea was growing stronger and soon it filled his whole body. He even felt a sense of swelling as if he was about to burst.

 Chapter 364 - Chapter 364: Chapter 283: Breaking the Record_2

    Chapter 364: Chapter 283: Breaking the Record_2


    ¡°Such formidable power, is this the normal state of Senior Xiahou?¡±


    ¡°Although I¡¯ve crippled my cultivation level this time, if I slay Chen Mobai, I can then use the academy¡¯s elixirs to heal my wounds. Perhaps this will allow me to break through the bottleneck to complete the Foundation Establishment.¡±


    ¡°I guess it¡¯s a blessing in disguise.¡±


    With these thoughts, the depression accumulated in Sima Xingyu¡¯s heart due to his self-crippling cultivation dissipated.


    The pair of sword-like eyes under his brow became resolute, overflowing with a torrent of sword intent that was about to burst out from his body, urgently needing an opponent to vent.


    ¡°Prepare to die, Chen Mobai!¡±


    Soon, the fog in front of him cleared, and the opponent arranged long ago by Little Red Sky appeared in front of Sima Xingyu.


    Then, his eyes widened in disbelief.


    ¡°Who are you?¡±


    Chen Mobai widened his eyes, looking at the tall and thin young man with dark circles under his eyes in front of him. He clicked on his avatar, checked his information, and found he was merely at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.


    Where is the promised Sima Xingyu?


    ¡°Didn¡¯t expect I would be matched against a Battle Law Victory from the Dance Tool Dao Academy. But according to your rules, should I receive your first sword strike before I reveal my name?¡±


    The young man with dark circles looked at Chen Mobai. He didn¡¯t expect this either and rubbed his hands a bit excitedly.


    ¡°I see.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai finally understood why Che Yucheng was so confident and sure about letting him in to break the record.


    The Pure Yang Academy side thought everything was settled, believing that as long as Sima Xingyu was guarding the final stage, no matter how many wins were accumulated before, in the end, there would only be one outcome ¨C defeat.


    But they did not expect that Gongye Zhixu might have already negotiated a deal with Che Yucheng in private, selling out the Pure Yang Academy early on.


    However, one cannot blame Nangong Xuanyu too much. He underestimated the Gold Core cultivators standing at the top level of the immortal gate.


    Even if he knew about it beforehand, he probably would be helpless to resist. After all, if Gongye Zhixu and Dance Tool Dao Academy joined forces to pressure, the Pure Yang academy still needed to give up the Primordial Yang Sword.


    Yet, even facing such a scenario, at least they would go down fighting. Moreover, they would not let Chen Mobai easily break the record by continuously winning all the way.


    Perhaps Sima Xingyu had already made an early appearance after a hundred consecutive victories, disregarding any shame.


    Although the master of Little Red Sky was Gongye Zhixu, if the end result was to give up the Primordial Yang Sword, Nangong Xuanyu would undoubtedly fight to maintain at least the winning streak record of his own ancestor under the worst result.


    Unfortunately, the reveal of this game arrangement only came to light at this stage.


    As Chen Mobai was realizing how much more he needed to learn, he thought about Sima Xingyu, the formidable opponent he was supposed to face.


    He wondered who Sima Xingyu was matched with now?


    But regardless of the opponent, after the joint efforts of Che Yucheng and Gongye Zhixu, everything was already destined.


    Even if Sima Xingyu hacked his opponent to pieces, it wouldn¡¯t change the fact that he was about to break the Primordial Yang Ancestor¡¯s winning streak in Little Red Sky.


    At this moment, he finally remembered that someone was still in the magic duel against him.


    ¡°As the opponent in my record-breaking match, I will allow you to leave your name first.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, the young man opposite with dark circles under his eyes solemnly performed an ancient etiquette, then stated his name.


    ¡°Graduate of the Imperial Medical Academy, Tian Wenguang, I seek guidance from the Battle Law Victory!¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai gently nodded.


    Then, he widened his eyes again, scrutinizing the tall, thin, and seemingly depleted opponent in front of him, showing a face of understanding.


    ¡°Do you know me?¡±


    Seeing the look on Chen Mobai¡¯s face, Tian Wenguang was a bit surprised.


    Although he was a graduate of the Imperial Medical Academy, had successfully cultivated to the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment, and served as an andrologist in a big hospital in a certain cave world, only people in a specific field knew him.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard about you.¡±


    Naturally, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t mention that he had seen the post about special training method for the boundary spells that Tian Wenguang set up initially. If he said it out loud, it would probably embarrass the other party immensely.


    ¡°I know I¡¯m not your opponent, but as a very meaningful battle, I still hope to give it my all to live up to the luck of being matched with you.¡±


    After earnestly saying this, Tian Wenguang¡¯s hands crossed, his spiritual power formed into surgical knives held in his palms, and he began to deploy his most formidable attack spell.


    Chen Mobai knew that the person in front of him was a genius who managed to cultivate to the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment and matched him in Little Red Sky surely had a good winning rate.


    It was probably to avoid the pressure of public opinion, so the opponent that was matched with him this time should be randomly selected as normally.


    It¡¯s good this way. If the opponent had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, even if I broke the record, people would doubt its authenticity.


    The five surgical knives emitting cold light are as fierce as five strands of sword qi.


    Chen Mobai extended his five fingers, transforming the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light into a light shield in front of him.


    It was like stabbing into cotton, the five Spiritual Power surgical knives slowed down gradually after entering the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light, eventually coming to a complete stop right in front of Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes.


    With a flick of his hand, the purple fire flickered, burning them to nothing.


    At that moment, Tian Wenguang approached him from the right hand side, his right hand palm shining with a golden light and transforming into a longsword with a side slash.


    ¡°His speed is not bad, almost as fast as Dai Shiqing.¡±


    Chen Mobai appraised internally, then extended his left sword finger, the Purple Fire Sword Light burst forth, clashing with Tian Wenguang¡¯s golden longsword.


    Crack!


    The longsword in his palm shattered, and his whole body was sent flying backwards.


    After two moves, Chen Mobai had already sized up his opponent¡¯s strength.


    While he might stand a chance against Dai Shiqing, compared to Lu Qiulong, he fell short of the mark. Had he crossed swords with him before he established his foundation, perhaps it would have been somewhat challenging.


    But in his present eyes.


    The man just seemed a bit weak.


    With this in mind, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hold back anymore. To prevent further complications, he immediately applied his strongest method.


    Through the amplification of the Sun Raising Technique, the Fire Spirit Body made the Qingyang Fire Seed blaze vehemently, transforming into a ball of Purple Green Flame, a dazzling Sword Light bursting forth from his palm.


    He also had an ace up his sleeve.


    In the Little Red Sky, items with physical forms can¡¯t be projected, but the Qingyang Fire Seed, a pure earthly energy, could be represented perfectly.


    Spells with huge side effects can be used unrestricted here, so Chen Mobai can use the ¡°Flame Explosion Technique¡± to detonate the power of the Qingyang Fire Seed to set off the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    This technique, even if it were to meet Sima Xingyu, he would probably be wounded if caught off guard.


    But now it was used on Tian Wenguang.


    The effect was much better than he had imagined.


    With a swipe of the Sword Light, Tian Wenguang, who had constructed a seven to eight-layered golden light shield with his spirit power, was vaporized along with his projected form under the defense.


    ¡°Ding!¡±


    The sound was automatically produced by the system after a victorious Magic Duel in the Little Red Sky.


    After Chen Mobai broke the record, he felt emptied seeing the blank virtual field ¨C nothing was left after it was swept by his Sword Light.


    After all, his opponent was a bit weak.


    The excitement of breaking the record diminished.


    But, it still felt awesome!


    Feeling the genuine satisfaction and accomplishment surging from deep within, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud.


    Everyone from the thirty six heavens and seventy two fortunate lands of the Immortal Sect watched as the young chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy broke a two thousand year old record. Even though they predicted it, they were still greatly awed by the sight.


    Could this be the start of a new legend?


    ¡­


    ¡°Boss, did you help that kid block Sima Xingyu and the others? Does he know?¡±


    Driving the car, Lin Yin saw Lan Haitian open his eyes and couldn¡¯t help asking.


    The screen in her car, plus her own mobile phone, captured the scene ¨C Chen Mobai had broken the record of the Primal Yang Ancestor and Lan Haitian killed everyone daring to enter the Little Red Sky.


    After the image of Chen Mobai¡¯s match appeared, seeing that his opponent was not Sima Xingyu, Xiahou Weihuan, or any other Pure Yang Academy cultivators who have achieved Foundation Establishment, they went wild.

    They spared no expense and sacrificed their cultivation levels to try to correct this error.


    But Lan Haitian was waiting in front of them.


    With each person from the Pure Yang Academy that entered, he slaughtered them, killing them in endless rounds until Xiahou Weihuan, Sima Xingyu, and the rest were driven to despair.


    ¡°Consider it returning a favor. Besides, sometimes when you volunteer, it becomes overly deliberate.¡±


    Playing with the Star Concentrating Stone in his hand, Lan Haitian said with a smile.

 Chapter 365 - Chapter 365: Chapter 284: The Reaction of Former Classmates_1

    Chapter 365: Chapter 284: The Reaction of Former Classmates_1


    Mountain Sea Academy.


    On top of a sword peak, Yan Feng was sitting in front of a stone sword several meters high, putting down his cellphone with a thoughtful expression.


    ¡°Feng, during your entrance exam, did you really fight evenly with this Magic Duel Champion from the Dance Instrument Dao Academy?¡±


    Next to Yan Feng sat a man and a woman, one of whom asked in disbelief.


    Today it was their turn to come in front of the stone sword and cultivate their internal Sword Qi. After their cultivation was over, they were watching the Magic Duel live broadcast on Little Red Sky that was just pushed on their phones.


    ¡°Believe it or not, you can search online for the entrance exam video of Danxia City¡¯s cohort, look for the semifinals, it¡¯s my peak showdown with him.¡±


    At first, Yan Feng was very unconvinced of his loss to Chen Mobai. With a strong determination, he came to the number one mountain-sea academy for sword cultivators, aiming to master earth-shattering swordsmanship and prove that he should have been the top of Danxia City¡¯s cohort.


    You should know, at that time, Yan Feng¡¯s scores were enough to get into any of the Four Great Daoist Academies, as long as he could rank first in the Magic Duel during the entrance exam.


    Not only him, but also Gong Xiangyu, even Kong Feichen, and Yang Jing.


    Any of those four cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, could have replaced Chen Mobai and become the favored prodigy of the Four Great Daoist Academies, had they reached the end.


    This is precisely why every genius who fell at the hands of Chen Mobai in that cohort was full of resentment, unwillingness, and refusal to concede defeat.


    They all believed that they lost to Chen Mobai not because the opponent was too strong, but because they made serious mistakes during the Magic Duel, allowing the opponent to seize the opportunity and reverse the situation.


    If they had the chance to do it again, both Yan Feng and Gong Xiangyu believed they could win one hundred percent.


    Even Kong Feichen was thinking a few years ago that if Yang Jing hadn¡¯t insisted on going to the finals and it had been him who faced Chen Mobai in the duel, he had several strategies that could have won him the match.


    However, when the news of Chen Mobai¡¯s Foundation Establishment was received, this idea made them all waver.


    Although they were students of the top ten academies, they were all enrolled with Daoist Academy score lines and thus received core treatment upon admission. The edge method was also passed down to them. Before the Foundation Establishment, their resources and cultivation techniques were nearly the same as the students of the Daoist Academy.


    That¡¯s exactly why they knew how difficult it is to establish a foundation.


    Kong Feichen, who had the greatest talent, had a heart demon which led to his initial failure in establishing a foundation.


    As for Yan Feng and Gong Xiangyu, they only comprehended the edge method last year, and by now they have reached the Condensing Qi into Liquid stage. Even though it is as such, their progress is already very close to the average of the four Great Daoist Academies.


    According to Yan Feng¡¯s own estimation, he should be able to successfully establish his foundation by next year.


    Knowing the difficulty of the Foundation Establishment, their inner assessment of Chen Mobai, who has successfully established a foundation, begins to change.


    Perhaps, he is the real genius.


    Yan Feng even wondered if during the entrance exam, because his talent was better and his resources were more abundant, he was able to just barely duel evenly with Chen Mobai due to him being at a higher realm.


    At that time, he began to doubt himself.


    Not long ago, when Little Red Sky started up, and Chen Mobai, as the chief of Dance Instrument Dao Academy, swept through the cultivators at the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment, Yan Feng confirmed his thoughts.


    Yes, it¡¯s exactly that!


    Gong Xiangyu, who refused to accept defeat the most and thought that his love had been snatched away, lost all his arrogance after seeing the footage of Chen Mobai defeating Lu Qiulong.


    As a student of the True Spiritual Academy, he knew very well what the name Lu Qiulong stood for.


    That was their academy¡¯s most promising genius to reach Core Formation stage in the past hundred years.


    As for the others, they didn¡¯t even need to be mentioned.


    And after Yan Feng saw Chen Mobai officially break the winning streak record of Elder Yuan Yang, his inner thoughts changed again.


    [I was actually able to force that Magic Duel Champion into a corner, making it so that he could only barely beat me by one move!]


    If before Yan Feng felt humiliated because he lost to Chen Mobai and couldn¡¯t go to any of the Four Great Daoist Academies, then now he only felt relieved.


    ¡°It¡¯s really there.¡±


    At this time, his female classmate had found the entrance exam video of Danxia City¡¯s cohort, the peak showdown between Yan Feng and Chen Mobai during the semi-finals.


    ¡°You actually used a Heaven Heart Sword Talisman, you wastrel!¡±


    The female classmate was Yan Feng¡¯s girlfriend at Mountain Sea Academy. After watching the video, her eyes widened in disbelief. She was so hurt that she couldn¡¯t catch her breath and almost fainted.


    ¡°What, you used a Heaven Heart Sword Talisman and still didn¡¯t achieve invincibility under Qi Cultivation?!¡±


    The other male classmate couldn¡¯t help exclaiming when he heard this, looking at Yan Feng with disbelief.


    ¡°What do you know? That¡¯s the Magic Duel Champion. His talent in combat is monstrous. Any small mistake will be seen through by his piercing eyes, leading to defeat,¡± Yan Feng retorted, starting to talk tough.

    ¡°It seems to be the case, after all, your opponent then was him.¡±


    The male classmate¡¯s gaze turned to the young man in a red and black robe, who was at the center of the Little Red Sky¡¯s live broadcast screen on his phone. After seeing him, he couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    The title Magic Duel Champion was a nickname that Chen Mobai¡¯s opponents during the entrance exam in Danxia City spread out.


    They were distributed among the major academies of various sects, and now, when Little Red Sky was at its hottest, the news spread quickly and soon everyone knew.


    The Crimson-robed True Person who was sitting in Danxia City could not have imagined that a nickname that he casually bragged about has now become Chen Mobai¡¯s title.

 Chapter 366 - Chapter 366: Chapter 284 Reaction of Classmate from the Past_2

    Chapter 366: Chapter 284 Reaction of Classmate from the Past_2


    The canteen of the Nature Studies Academy.


    Yan Bingxuan, who was eating alone in a corner, put down her chopsticks after seeing Chen Mobai break the record. Her normally indifferent face flashed an incredibly beautiful smile with a grain of rice at the corner of her mouth.


    This made many male students watching the scene from the next table, absolutely amazed.


    She was so stunning when she smiled!


    The Repair-the-Sky Group.


    Qing Nu looked at the youthful and ambitious young man on the screen. After Kong Feichen and Yang Jing left, a trace of pride that even she herself did not notice appeared in her indifferent eyes.


    Next to her, Zhongli Yi watched with a thoughtful look on his face.


    Chen Mobai knew nothing about all of this. After he broke the record, he logged out immediately.


    ¡°Teacher, I haven¡¯t disappointed you.¡±


    After opening his eyes in the office, he said to Che Yucheng.


    ¡°Good, you can take a good rest for a while and concentrate on improving the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s cultivation level using the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method. The Alchemy Department has just made a whole pool of Rank-2 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water during the holiday. Go and receive 100 units of it. I¡¯ve already given Luo Hezheng a heads up.¡±


    Che Yucheng looked at his disciple with satisfaction.


    ¡°Thank you, teacher.¡±


    Chen Mobai was also very happy to hear it.


    When it comes to Immortal Dao Alchemy, the water method is supreme, and ¡°Qi-replenishing Spirit Water¡± is the best-selling spiritual water in all Immortal Dao pharmacies.


    The formula for this kind of spiritual water is simple, and the three main medicinal spirit plants are easy to find. Depending on the grade of the main and auxiliary medicinal materials, it can be refined into Rank-3 at its highest.


    However, the four auxiliary materials are industrialized spiritual materials, and Rank-1 can be produced by small workshops, but those above Rank-2 can only be produced by large pharmaceutical factories.


    By coincidence, among the six largest pharmaceutical factories of Immortal Dao: Golden Cup, Lingxiao, Wide White, Cicada Clothing, Shang Lu, and Sky Blue.


    ¡°Wide White¡± belongs to the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    The person in charge of running the Wide White Pharmaceutical Factory is none other than the head of the logistics department of the academy, Luo Hezheng.


    Every student in the academy has dealt with Luo Hezheng. At the end of each year, they find him to exchange their study points for the spiritual objects they need.


    Generally speaking, the students of the academy can only receive rewards and make exchanges at the end of the term.


    However, it¡¯s different since Che Yucheng has already spoken to him.


    ¡°Take it and sign here.¡±


    Luo Hezheng¡¯s office is also in Building 1. Chen Mobai went straight down to his office, where Luo Hezheng was waiting for him. As soon as he walked in, Luo Hezheng handed him a large bottle of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water that had a capacity of one litre.


    Each bottle of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water has about 10 millilitres. Chen Mobai is taking a lot, so Luo Hezheng didn¡¯t bother to fill the small glass tubes and directly gave him a large volume bottle. Chen Mobai weighed it and felt that it should be more than 1 litre.


    It might have been a generous act on Luo Hezheng¡¯s part.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Luo.¡±


    Chen Mobai happily took the bottle and signed his name on the receiving form.


    He glanced at the reason for receiving, which read: ¡°Reward for bringing honor to the academy by completing the task assigned by the dean.¡±


    How did it involve the dean again?


    Chen Mobai had never seen the Nascent Soul Senior in person in his life. Although he had seen his image in video material, he wanted to see him in person if he had the chance.


    After all, Cultivators at the ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± realm are comparable to Demi Immortals.


    They are almost at the end of the Immortal Cultivation journey in the Mortal World.


    ¡°You should drink a bottle¡¯s worth once every three days at most, and use it sparingly. If this pool of Spirit Water was not freshly made, it would have been grabbed up a long time ago.¡±


    Luo Hezheng reminded him. The pure spiritual energy contained in the Rank-2 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water far exceeds that of Rank-1. With Chen Mobai¡¯s current cultivation realm, he could only refine it once every three days.


    ¡°Teacher Luo, can I buy some more myself?¡±


    After putting away the large bottle, Chen Mobai thickened his skin and asked.


    ¡°No, I pride myself on being fair in all my dealings. If all the resources are taken away by you geniuses, wouldn¡¯t the lower-ranked cultivators have no chance.¡±


    Luo Hezheng shook his head, refusing adamantly.


    Chen Mobai brought honor to the academy in Little Red Sky, and Che Yucheng¡¯s requisition for a reward of one hundred bottles of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water was only natural. Luo Hezheng had no objections about that.


    But apart from Chen Mobai, there are also some hardworking teachers in the academy waiting for this pool of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Once these reserved allocations are distributed, the remaining Qi-replenishing Spirit Water won¡¯t be kept for students to exchange at the end of the term. Instead, it will be sold at the flagship store of the Dance Tool Dao Academy at the start of the academic term, as well as in the Wide White pharmacy offline.


    Only when there is an excess stock will students be allowed to exchange at the end of the term.


    However, this is unlikely, as these things sell out within two or three days as soon as they¡¯re listed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The main reason is that all Foundation Establishment cultivators can use it, and the price is not expensive ¨C 20,000 Good Deed Points for a lower-grade Rank-2 bottle ¨C hence it¡¯s affordable.


    Let¡¯s not talk about the other academies, but at least the Dance Tool Dao Academy has always adhered to the principle of allocating some resources to the lower-ranked cultivators over the past five thousand years. This ensures that there is room for mobility between the upper and lower levels of the Immortal Gate.


    If the students of the academy want Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, the most they can do is collect materials and let the Alchemy Department refine them, or know the listing date in advance and wait to snap them up.


    Luo Hezheng can only turn a blind eye to this, at least each flagship store of immortality on the Immortal Gate¡¯s website has restricted the purchase quantity for individuals, ensuring that at least some of it can flow into the market.


    After thanking Luo Hezheng once again, Chen Mobai left Building 1 with a large bottle of Rank-2 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water in his arms.

 Chapter 367 - Chapter 367: Chapter 284: Reaction of Former Classmates_3

    Chapter 367: Chapter 284: Reaction of Former Classmates_3


    The value of the bottle is not expensive, it¡¯s probably worth about 10 credits.


    However, most of the items that can be exchanged for credits in the Daoist Academy are cheap and good quality. Most students deeply regret not having enough credits.


    After all, there are numerous items stored in the Academy vault that have better cost performance than the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, especially the Elixirs.


    Like the ¡°God Returning Pill¡± that Chen Mobai exchanged at the end of last year.


    It was also priced at 10 credits, but it almost perfected his Divine Manipulation Technique, its value was definitely higher than that of the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Earlier, since Chen Mobai¡¯s Pure Yang Scroll was still not at the Foundation Establishment, and he had a quicker way to advance in the method of Immortality, he did not focus on enhancing his Spirit Power Breakthrough.


    Now, having reached the Foundation Establishment in understanding Dao, and having acquired the Fire Spirit Body and Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method, he could surpass the bottleneck between realms more easily than average people, making this Qi-replenishing Spirit Water particularly crucial.


    His Magic Duel experience with Little Red Sky made Chen Mobai deeply realize his low cultivation level.


    He felt like he was letting down his kind mentor, Qing Ping.


    If he were presently on the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, he wouldn¡¯t need to bully nobodies, but could move straight to the higher-ranked battles.


    He wouldn¡¯t need Lan Haitian to step in to suppress Pure Yang Academy¡¯s Xiahou Weihuan and Sima Xingyu.


    Thoughts swirling, Chen Mobai finally remembered the original reason he wanted to attend the exchange meeting.


    ¡°The exchange? It¡¯s going on as usual, right on the square where we first arrived. In addition to the Crimson City Dongtian¡¯s fourteen universities, three Great Daoist Academies and nine Great Cultivation Institutes are also invited. Do you want to go check it out?¡±


    In the three-story Western-style building of the Student Council, Chen Mobai called over Hua Zijing to ask, and she gave him the good news.


    ¡°Of course, my original intention was to interact with the geniuses from other universities, to learn more knowledge by drawing analogies.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mention that his main intent was to find someone from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute to ask about rejuvenating his lifespan.


    ¡°Then you go ahead.¡±


    Hua Zijing left him with that and turned to leave, but Chen Mobai called her to stop.


    ¡°I¡¯m not too familiar, how about you come with me.¡±


    [Why should I?] If this happened a few days ago, Hua Zijing might have straight up asked why she had to accompany him to the exchange. How come chasing dramas with her spare time isn¡¯t a better choice.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go change my clothes.¡±


    In the end, she didn¡¯t even know why she agreed.


    [Never mind, after all, he worked hard for the Daoist Academy¡¯s honor and it¡¯s also my duty as the Student Council¡¯s Secretary to guide our guests while touring the Crimson City Dongtian.]


    With that in mind, Hua Zijing went to change into her Dancing Device Red and Black Robe that she had custom made by a senior from the Refining Implement Department. The wide-sleeved long robe was cinched at the waist, perfectly highlighting her tall and exquisite figure.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up at her attire, admiring it before he stood up to leave with her.


    ¡°Are you going out in broad daylight just like this?¡±


    But Hua Zijing, wide-eyed, stopped him.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there a problem? Can¡¯t I be seen by people?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know how popular you are? The recent hot searches on the Celestial Gate website are all about you and Lan Haitian. If you show up, I fear you¡¯ll be surrounded by everyone at the exchange.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai realized he hadn¡¯t considered this, he humbly asked:


    ¡°So what are you suggesting¡­?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Disguise yourself a bit, some slight concealment, maybe wear a mask or something. In that way, people will only think you¡¯re from the Dance Device Dao Academy.¡±


    Hua Zijing thought she gave good advice, but was met with weak opposition from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Won¡¯t they fail to recognize me then?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Hua Zijing widened her eyes, somewhat unable to keep up with Chen Mobai¡¯s thought process.

 Chapter 368 - Chapter 368: Chapter 285 – Alleyway_1

    Chapter 368: Chapter 285 ¨C Alleyway_1


    In the end, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t go against Hua Zijing¡¯s desires, and made a small disguise to his appearance.


    The scales of the Green Scale Arm Guard flew out, gathering on his face to form a slightly transparent Black Crystal Mask, which conveniently covered half of his face, revealing his eyes, forehead, and chin.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    Hua Zijing looked at the mask, and her face showed surprise.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    Chen Mobai reached out and touched the mask. Like crystal, its scales were cool and slightly hard to the touch.


    The mask¡¯s style was taken from the dark alter ego of the main character in a TV show he had watched as a child. Its aesthetics were top-notch. Upon wearing it, his originally calm and slightly immature temperament suddenly took on a mysterious and dignified aura.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this the mask of the villainous Demon Teachings male lead from ¡®Legend of the Heavenly Sword¡¯? His name was King Abilo, right?¡±


    Unexpectedly, Hua Zijing had also seen the show. Chen Mobai immediately felt that he had found a kindred spirit. The two of them immersed themselves in discussions and debates about the tragic fate of the characters in the series.


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t forget his main task.


    He activated his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, taking both of them away from Treasure Trove and towards Crimson City Celestial Cave.


    When they arrived at the city¡¯s entrance, the two of them got off.


    Private flying is not allowed within Celestial Caves and Blessed Lands.


    ¡°President, if you were the Sect Hierarch of the Demon Teachings and ended up with the Heavenly Sword, invincible in the world, at the grand finale, what would be your choice? The world or love?¡±


    After getting down from the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, Hua Zijing asked a question.


    ¡°Impossible, I had received Immortal Gate teachings from childhood. Throughout my life, I have been a good person and could never be part of the Demon Teachings.¡±


    Chen Mobai, with righteousness and confidence, answered from a different perspective, prompting Hua Zijing to roll her eyes at him.


    ¡°I meant hypothetically.¡±


    ¡°Then I guess I would choose the world.¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment but felt that love was too elusive. He hadn¡¯t experienced it, so he made this choice.


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    Hearing this, Hua Zijing coldly huffed and walked past him, leading the way into the Crimson City Celestial Cave.


    Chen Mobai scratched his head. He knew that girls probably liked boys to answer with ¡°love,¡± but he chose to follow his heart.


    Both of them were wearing the Dancing Device Red and Black Robe. True to their expectations, they did attract some surprise and attention from some passers-by. However, because Chen Mobai was wearing a mask, no one recognized him. It was like getting to experience life as a ¡°regular person¡±.


    As he looked around the entire Crimson City Celestial Cave, he could see students from various other universities.


    However, the most eye-catching ones were those from the four major Daoist Academies.


    ¡°That row over there are all stalls from Jumang Daoist Academy. They are the most popular in this exchange meeting because they have a lot of rare pills and Spiritual Water for sale, and at cheap prices.¡±


    Hua Zijing pointed at a row of wooden stalls located at the best spot on the east side of the plaza. Around seventeen or eighteen students from the Repairing Heaven Institute, wearing the Fairy Qing Shan robes, were busy selling pills and tubes of Spiritual Water to the young people from various universities lined up in front of their stalls.


    Chen Mobai even saw two familiar figures from the Dance Tool Dao Academy within the crowd.


    ¡°Class Leader Si, Member Zhuang.¡±


    He immediately waved at the two, completely forgetting that he was wearing a mask and needed to keep a low profile.


    Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan, who heard Chen Mobai¡¯s greeting, looked back in shock. They had been classmates in the Talisman Script department with Chen Mobai for two to three years, and were naturally familiar with his voice.


    As soon as they heard it, they knew who was calling them.


    ¡°I told you to¡­¡±


    Zijing started nagging Chen Mobai at his side. It was only now that he recalled that he needed to keep a low profile. Yet, Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan, who were queueing, had already walked over. It would be rude to just turn around and leave.


    ¡°Chen¡­ classmate, what brings you here?¡±


    With a beautiful face shape and pear vortex-like thin eyebrows, Zhuang Jialan adjusted her glasses. Upon seeing Chen Mobai wearing the mask, she instantly knew she couldn¡¯t say that name out loud in public.


    Otherwise, they would surely be swarmed. Given they couldn¡¯t fly, the crowd could potentially block traffic.


    ¡°Our Student Council has the annual responsibility of ensuring the safety of the Daoist Academy¡¯s stalls during the exchange meeting. Since we were busy fighting in the Little Red Sky earlier and had some free time today, the Vice President and I came over to take a look and do some inspection.¡±


    Chen Mobai used a ready-made excuse to respond, and carefully looked at the two of them. He noticed a slight difference in their auras¡ªthey seemed a bit thicker. However, those from the Immortal Gate would never actively probe others¡¯ cultivation level, so he could only guess that the two might have comprehended the Threshold Law and were trying to establish their Foundation.


    ¡°The Alchemists from the Repairing Heaven Institute will be refining a batch of Dry Yuan Bone Changing Pills here today. Once ready, there will be a draw for a chance to buy them, so we came to try our luck.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Class Leader Si took the initiative to explain why they came. Upon hearing this, Chen confirmed his guess.


    The Dry Yuan Bone Changing Pill was an alternative to the Jade Marrow Pill, with about one-tenth of the latter¡¯s effect.


    ¡°Are you both going to establish your Foundation?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked directly. Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan nodded.


    ¡°We wasted a few years earlier trying to get our Talisman Maker certificates. But it was only after seeing you establish your Foundation that we realized no matter how brilliant our skills are, they cannot compare to our personal Realm.¡±

 Chapter 369 - Chapter 369: Chapter 285 Alley_2

    Chapter 369: Chapter 285 Alley_2


    ¡°These past two years, I¡¯ve been reducing my study time and focusing on cultivating the Threshold Method. I¡¯m finally making progress. It¡¯s just a pity that my attempt to establish the Foundation was hampered at the very first step last year.¡±


    ¡°But we¡¯ve already prepared another set of three treasures and some Profound Fire Spirit Liquid for Foundation Establishment. Now, it¡¯s just a matter of whether we can purchase a Dry Yuan Bone Changing Pill.¡±


    After hearing what Si Guanyu had said, Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you buy a Jade marrow pill?¡±


    ¡°When the people from the Repairing Heaven Institute came over to set up their stall, they only brought ten Jade marrow pills. These were all sold on the first day to the senior students from the other Daoist Academies. By the time we got the news, it was already too late.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan gave a bitter smile. Both of them have talked to the students from the Repairing Heaven Institute attending the exchange meeting, trying to see if they might exchange some Profound Fire Spirit Liquid for a Jade marrow pill.


    However, due to the decrease in Big Tree¡¯s sap production over the past two years, the number of Jade marrow pills available at Jumang Daoist Academy has also been dwindling. Without a firm relationship, it has become less likely for others to agree to a swap.


    ¡°I see. I have a friend at Jumang Daoist Academy, I¡¯ll ask for her help later on.¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered the Qing Woman he had defeated with a single stroke in the Little Red Sky. He still hadn¡¯t apologized for it, so he decided to call her when he had time that night.


    ¡°Is it that Heavenly Spiritual Root Qing Woman?¡±


    Zhuang Jialan abruptly asked after hearing him.


    ¡°Huh? How did you know?¡±


    Chen Mobai was surprised.


    ¡°You¡¯ve been the hottest topic in the Cultivation world lately. Many of your classmates from your days in Red Sandstone City have been spilling the beans online. They claim that you were openly dating the Heavenly Spiritual Root from Jumang Daoist Academy in high school, while also having a covert affair with the class beauty in your own class. They¡¯re painting you out to be a total jerk.¡±


    ¡°Slander, defamation, smear campaigns¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was almost jumping in anger. He swore that his relationships with them were nothing but wholesome friendships. He had never even held their hands, he was absolutely pure.


    ¡°In my opinion, it¡¯s probably your jealous high school classmates who are fabricating these things to defame you. For the past five years at the Daoist Academy, aside from your cultivation, you¡¯ve shown little interest in anything else. We¡¯ve all seen this directly.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan showed understanding, patting Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulder to comfort him. Hua Zijing, standing beside her, nodded in agreement.


    Indeed, Chen Mobai¡¯s actions over his five years at the Dance Tool Dao Academy have been clear for all to see.


    He¡¯s never had a girlfriend, let alone invited a female classmate to dine with him alone.


    The only time they¡¯d see him relax was during their annual end-of-year gatherings with their Cultivation group.


    Outside of these, he was always either cultivating or studying. An absolute cultivation maniac.


    Because of this, most people at the Dance Tool Dao Academy recognized Chen Mobai¡¯s achievements. After all, he was the one who¡¯d put in the hardest work over his five years at the Academy.


    ¡°Damn it! If I find out who¡¯s spreading rumors about me, I¡¯ll hire a lawyer to sue them for defamation and have them locked up for a few days.¡±


    Still fuming, Chen Mobai seethed violently.


    Meanwhile, in Red Sandstone City, Lu Hongsheng, who was busily keyboard-warrioring on some online forum, suddenly sneezed. Shrugging it off, he continued to ¡°drop bombshells¡±.


    After saying goodbye to Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan, Chen Mobai and Hua Zijing went on to visit the stalls of the Repairing Heaven Institute and the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, both of which were brimming with people.


    Lastly, they visited the area that belonged to their own Daoist Academy.


    Ming Yu from the Student Union was in charge of maintaining order. He recognized Chen Mobai straight away ¨C after all, the only one Hua Zijing would accompany like this was the Student Union President.


    ¡°Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, Replenishing Blood Spirit Water, Spiritual Liquid, Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, Nourishing Spirit Water¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the various items displayed on the stall of his Academy, all familiar to him.


    A second-rank Alchemist from the Alchemy Department at the two-level Foundation Establishment was demonstrating Water Method Alchemy, refining Nourishing Spirit Water, a type of spiritual water that could nourish the Divine Sense and stabilize the Purple Palace. Its primary ingredient, the Vermillion Fruit, was present.


    Hua Zijing introduced the alchemist as Ying Sizhen from the eighth grade. He was a Second-Rank Alchemist, the head of the Alchemy Department in Student Union, and was a highly probable candidate for the position of Deputy President after Shen Renyou graduates next year.


    Though fully engrossed in his Alchemy demonstration, Ying Sizhen still managed to momentarily turn around and nod at Chen Mobai as a greeting.


    ¡°You guys focus on your work, I¡¯m just here to have a look.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt like an extra wheel and promptly left with Hua Zijing after he finished talking.


    After the four major Daoist Academies, there were the top ten university palaces.


    On the booth of the True Spirit Academy were all sorts of fluffy and cute pets like puppies, kittens, and rabbits. Hua Zijing immediately took a liking to a white cat with big eyes and flawless white fur that was soft and smooth to the touch.


    However, these pets were not for sale; they were simply brought there to experience the outside world.


    ¡°You go pet the cat for a while, I¡¯ll call you when it¡¯s time to go back.¡±


    Seeing that Hua Zijing was unable to move due to her fascination with the cat, Chen Mobai took the opportunity to split up with her and act alone.


    ¡°Yes, Mr. Chairman.¡±


    After hearing that, Hua Zijing hugged the white cat, ordered a portion of cat food, and sat down without looking back.


    The forgotten Chen Mobai was not bothered. He walked through the booth of the True Spirit Academy and into a small alley, planning to take a shortcut to the corner booth of the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute in the western part of the square.


    However, when he reached the end of the alley, he saw a girl wearing sunglasses who had set up a stall in that spot.


    A black cloth was spread on the table with eight words written on it.


    ¡°Heaven and Earth, Mystical calculations of machines!¡±


    A fortune teller? From Astral Observation Academy?


    Among the top ten academies, Taiyuan, Pure Yang, and Astral Observation rank just below the four Daoist Academies. The dean of the Astral Observation Academy is a stage-one Nascent Soul individual, whose technique of Joseon fortune-telling has never been wrong.


    Even the big three Hall Masters of the immortal gate sometimes seek guidance from him.


    Generally, those who set up fortune-telling stalls on this side of the Immortal Gate are assumed to be from the Astral Observation Academy.


    Out of curiosity, Chen Mobai sized up the girl with sunglasses sitting on the folding stool. Unlike him, who wore a mask that covered the lower half of his face, her large black sunglasses covered both her eyes and the upper half of her face, revealing only her fair cheeks and the elegant lines of her chin and jaw.


    Although he didn¡¯t get a good look at her, the delicate snow-white chin he saw made Chen Mobai think she must be very attractive.


    However, it seemed she was not adept at conducting business, having chosen such a location to set up her fortune-telling stall with hardly any potential customers passing by.


    Furthermore, she didn¡¯t even try to attract him as a potential client when he walked past.


    He guessed she must be an apprentice fortune teller, too nervous to show off her skills.


    While thinking this, Chen Mobai was about to step out of the shadow of the alley, the bright light outside just a step away.


    Suddenly, a whim crossed his mind.


    Why not get a prediction?


    ¡°Hello, how much do you charge for fortune-telling?¡±


    Turning around, Chen Mobai asked the girl with sunglasses sitting on the folding stool.


    Was it his imagination or had her figure appeared a bit ethereal, like a TV picture with poor signal, half-existent and half-absent?


    However, as soon as he¡¯d opened his mouth, it was as if the signal had suddenly improved, the girl with the sunglasses, whose body had been slightly ethereal, suddenly became clear and solid.


    ¡°Fortune-telling is for fate, not for profit.¡±


    A hoarse voice, almost electric, came from behind the girl¡¯s sunglasses, with no way to tell what expression was hidden behind them.


    Chen Mobai, standing in front of her stall, was full of curiosity.


    ¡°Free of charge? Are you a student at Astral Observation Academy? Are you practicing fortune-telling techniques by setting up this stand?¡±


    ¡°I only tell three fortunes per day, and you are today¡¯s first.¡±


    The sunglasses girl didn¡¯t answer Chen Mobai¡¯s question; her raspy voice was very distinctive.

    ¡°How does it work?¡±


    ¡°You write down a word and then ask your question.¡±


    A sheet of white paper and a ballpoint pen were taken out from under the table and handed to Chen Mobai.


    Having received them, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment.


    Should he ask about love? Or about his cultivation level?

 Chapter 370 - Chapter 370: Chapter 286: Ascending to Another World, Tread the Path into the Void_1

    Chapter 370: Chapter 286: Ascending to Another World, Tread the Path into the Void_1


    Chen Mobai pondered for a moment, then wrote down the character for ¡°pill¡±.


    Compared to marriage, he still felt that the cultivation realm was more substantial.


    ¡°Can I form the Core Formation?¡±


    Chen Mobai handed over the paper and pen he had used to write, simultaneously asking the question he wanted to ask.


    The sunglasses-wearing girl reached out with her pale right hand, her slender fingers taking the paper. She lowered her head slightly, her gaze hidden behind the sunglasses was unclear. Chen Mobai suddenly had an impulse to take off her sunglasses and see her true face.


    Very strange.


    He considered himself a person who could control his own emotions very well, especially when cultivating with the Thought Casting Divine Technique during Qi Cultivation, he was accustomed to dissipating distractions and transforming them into divine senses.


    Since the Foundation Establishment, such unusual impulses that emerged from his heart had been absent for a long time.


    ¡°In the world of cultivators, any cultivator has the opportunity to form the Core Formation.¡±


    At this moment, the sunglasses-wearing girl answered.


    After Chen Mobai heard this, he lost interest in listening to her further.


    Just like those unskillful fortune tellers, they never answer the question directly, always using vague and ambiguous language.


    ¡°Very well, I¡¯ll borrow your well-wishing words.¡±


    But Chen Mobai was a very polite person. Even though he didn¡¯t want to listen anymore, he still smiled and responded, then got up ready to leave.


    ¡°If you form the Core Formation, you must go through three tribulations.¡±


    The hoarse voice of the sunglasses girl came from behind. Chen Mobai heard it but didn¡¯t care, shaking his head nonchalantly. This is modern society, why do you fortune-tellers still stick to these old clich¨¦s?


    First, they say nice things, then they exaggerate the danger.


    Chen Mobai, who thought he had seen through her, felt disgusted and no longer wanted to pay attention to this unskilled fortune-telling girl. His steps did not stop, and he was about to leave the alley.


    ¡°These three tribulations correspond to Essence, Energy, and Spirit. The tribulation of the Essence means that if you want to form the Core Formation, you have to shorten your lifespan by one hundred and eighty years.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to step forward, he heard these words and immediately turned around and walked back to the stall.


    ¡°Master, may I ask how to overcome this tribulation?¡±


    The sunglasses girl looked at Chen Mobai, who was now even more polite than before. Her expression and tone did not fluctuate in the slightest as she continued speaking.


    ¡°The Energy tribulation is the Core Formation Heavenly Tribulation, which theoretically shouldn¡¯t exist among cultivators in this day and age. Your ¡®pill¡¯ character manifested this tribulation, which is very strange.¡±


    Although she admitted it was strange, her tone remained as steady as ever.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai looked puzzled. However, he didn¡¯t dare interrupt the divination of the master in front of him. He simply made a mental note to look up information about the world of cultivation or ask Che Yucheng when he had time in the future.


    ¡°The tribulation of the spirit signifies your unstable foundation. The cultivation for forming the Core Formation is not solid enough. It is possible that you might lose control of the drastic increase in cultivation level after forming the Core Formation, thus failing at the last hurdle.¡±


    After hearing about his three tribulations for Core Formation, Chen Mobai took out his phone, intending to transfer the payment by scanning the QR code.


    However, after scanning the entire stall, he only saw words implying profound and divine calculation ability. He did not see any payment codes.


    ¡°Master, how should I counteract these tribulations?¡±


    Seeing that the sunglasses girl stopped speaking after finishing describing the disasters, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t hold back anymore and asked again.


    ¡°The Immortal Toon Fruit from the Jumang Daoist Academy can increase one¡¯s lifespan by four hundred and eighty years upon consumption.¡±


    After pondering for a long time, the fortune teller finally gave a solution for overcoming the first tribulation. However, upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was instantly lost for words.


    The single sixth-order Spirit Tree in the world of cultivation, namely, the ¡°Big Tree¡± of the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    This tree bears fruit once every eight hundred years. Even if a mortal consumes it, their lifespan will be increased instantly. It is even capable of turning dead bones into flesh, bringing the dead back to life, and thus it is referred to as the number one divine fruit of the cultivation world.


    But this item is exclusive to those who have completed the Divinity Transformation, and even the three Hall Masters of the cultivation world do not have the privilege of consuming it.


    Although he had seen many dramas in his childhood where the male lead died accidentally, the female lead went through all sorts of hardships to get an Immortal Toon Fruit from the elder and revived the male lead.


    But that was just television. Chen Mobai even felt that even if half the people in the world of cultivation died, the two elders who had completed their Divinity Transformation would not even blink an eye.


    ¡°Master, is there a simpler method to dissolve the tribulation?¡±


    Chen Mobai continued to ask.


    The sunglasses girl, however, continued speaking as if it was a programmed response.


    ¡°The Energy Tribulation should no longer exist for cultivators. If you go to a place in the cultivation world to form the Core Formation, you can resolve it.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Tribulation is due to your unstable foundation. You need to refine your internal energy or prepare corresponding ¡°dan¡± medications as support, which could also have miraculous effects.¡±


    After saying these words, the sunglasses girl folded up the paper Chen Mobai had written the character ¡°pill¡± on and placed it in the sleeve of her right hand. After that, she no longer spoke, no matter what Chen Mobai said, remaining silent as if she were mute.

    ¡°Master, I have some savings and quite a few magic artefacts and spiritual objects. Can these be used as the fee for your divination?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought it was because of his lack of sincerity, but the sunglasses girl continued to remain silent.


    ¡°Alright, master, don¡¯t you divine three trigrams a day? If you give me two more pieces of paper, I can cover all the business for today.¡±


    These words from Chen Mobai did catch the attention of the seemingly daydreaming sunglasses girl in front of him. She raised her head, her eyes hidden behind the sunglasses looking straight at him. Her tone fluctuated for the first time.


    ¡°Only the destined will receive divination. Although no fee is charged, it creates a causal connection with my Divine Machine Mansion. One trigram forms a shallow connection, but three trigrams form a deep connection, intertwined and connected. In the future, you might not be able to break free.¡±

 Chapter 371 - Chapter 371: Chapter 286: Ascending the World, Treading the Dao in the Void_2

    Chapter 371: Chapter 286: Ascending the World, Treading the Dao in the Void_2


    Huh, this person really isn¡¯t after money!


    While Chen Mobai was surprised, he was also wondering about the background of The Divine Machine Mansion.


    In front of the girl with sunglasses, he didn¡¯t feel right to directly search it on the internet with his phone.


    ¡°We, the cultivation community, don¡¯t believe in karma. The education we received from a young age has always been that mighty powers are gathered within ourselves, and might breaks rules. Do your fortune-telling.¡±


    But Chen Mobai knew that this fortune-teller must be an expert.


    After all, no one in his entire Cultivation sect knew about the Tree Fruit affairs, only he himself knew.


    This person was able to see his Core Formation¡¯s calamity at a glance, which must be a sign of true skill.


    ¡°Alright, but I can only cast one more divination for you.¡±


    The girl in sunglasses hesitated and drew out another piece of white paper. She was about to hand it along with the retrieved ballpoint pen to Chen Mobai.


    Thump, thump, thump!


    Footsteps echoed, sounding like dress shoes hitting the ground, crisp and pleasant to hear.


    Chen Mobai turned his head to look at the alley¡¯s exit. He couldn¡¯t see the face against the light, but he could see a slim woman with a full chest. She wore a tight-fitting pink plaid shirt, which accentuated her slender waist. Below, she had on a striped pleated skirt, revealing a pair of slender and beautiful legs clad in black knee-high stockings and rounded toe shoes.


    ¡°Excuse me, can I pass by?¡±


    As she came in, she noticed Chen Mobai and the girl in sunglasses doing fortune-telling.


    Because the alley was not large, with two people sitting down and the stall in the middle, there was basically no space for others to pass.


    Chen Mobai looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. It was someone he used to know.


    It was Wanyu, whom he had met on the train when he first came to the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Despite the five years that had passed, time seemed to have left no mark on her. She was still as pure and beautiful as before. Between her speech, the corners of her mouth were always curled into a smile. The way she gently stroked the strands of hair by her ear was even more charming than before.


    ¡°Please.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately stood up to let her pass and she thanked him with a smile.


    ¡°Fortune-telling is for those who are destined, miss, do you want a love divination?¡±


    However, as Wanyu walked past the stall, the girl in sunglasses who had been indifferent to Chen Mobai, took the initiative to ask her if she wanted her fortune told.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I don¡¯t believe in these things.¡±


    Although a bit surprised, Wanyu politely declined and turned to leave. However, Chen Mobai had a thought in mind.


    The people of The Divine Machine Mansion only cast three divinations a day. He had already had two, and the remaining one could be used to see the truth.


    ¡°This fortune teller here is an expert. Since we¡¯re fated to meet, don¡¯t let it pass.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke up, causing a hesitant Wanyu, who had been preparing to leave to pause. After all, Chen Mobai¡¯s Dancing Device Red and Black Robe was very persuasive.


    ¡°Forget it, my friend is waiting for me in front of the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s stall. I heard Battle Law Victory is coming today, I don¡¯t want to miss it.¡±


    Wanyu¡¯s words caused a slight twitch in Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth.


    How can the news of his arrival have leaked out? It must have been a loose-lipped student who let it slip. Had he known this, he wouldn¡¯t have gone there in the first place.


    ¡°It won¡¯t delay you.¡±


    Seeing Wanyu turning to leave, Chen Mobai replied and removed the mask from his face. Pieces of black crystal-like scales flew from his cheeks into the arm guard of his lifted right sleeve.


    ¡°It¡¯s you¡­why are you here¡­¡±


    Wanyu saw Chen Mobai, covered her mouth in surprise, her pretty face flushed with surprise and disbelief.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m a bit popular now, so I have to do some disguising when I go out.¡±


    Chen Mobai apologized to Wanyu, who shook her head repeatedly, indicating that it was all right.


    ¡°If you want to see me, just contact me directly. Don¡¯t we have ways to get in touch?¡±


    Hearing this, Wanyu lowered her head in embarrassment.


    It was not easy for a girl to actively reach out. It was only when Chen Mobai had just established Foundation Establishment and expressed his heartfelt happiness for him on social media, that she mustered up the courage to send a message.


    Although they talked through the night afterwards, for the next two years, unless Chen Mobai took the initiative, she could only bury her feelings deep in her heart.


    This was especially true after Chen Mobai became the top student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, swept through Little Red Sky, and his fame reached its peak.


    Feeling the substantial gap between them, she dared not take the initiative to contact him anymore, afraid that Chen Mobai would mistake her for someone who was insensible and drawn to his fame and fortune.


    ¡°If you need anything in the future, you can tell me directly. I¡¯m usually cultivating, but I¡¯ll reply when I see it if I¡¯m free. Plus, I think I still owe you a lipstick.¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered when he was on the train and Master Wanyu gave him a lipstick to use for autographs. He had clearly promised to buy one as a replacement after getting off the train but forgot about it when he later moved to first class and ran into Meng Huang and Ma Xiaoming.


    ¡°You still remember.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Master Wanyu¡¯s face brightened with joy. She squinted her lightly made-up eyes and smiled, looking extraordinarily beautiful.


    ¡°This lady is a master from another world, able to divine with extraordinary accuracy. She only makes three predictions a day. Since you¡¯ve run into her, you might as well ask her about the thing you¡¯re most curious about.¡±


    As Chen Mobai introduced the girl in sunglasses, Master Wanyu listened attentively while focusing her gaze on him.


    ¡°What are the charges?¡±


    As she asked this question, it became clear that Master Wanyu intended to have her fortune read. However, she remained rational and didn¡¯t lose her sense because of her reunion with her good friend Chen Mobai, and asked about fees in advance to avoid any embarrassment if she didn¡¯t have enough Good Deed Points.


    ¡°There¡¯s no charge, only causes and effects.¡±


    After the girl in the sunglasses answered Master Wanyu¡¯s question, she took out another piece of white paper, picked up a pen from the table that was meant for Chen Mobai, and handed it to him. Although perplexed, he didn¡¯t overthink, knowing that Chen Mobai was the one who introduced her.


    There¡¯s no way he would deceive her.


    ¡°I¡¯ll choose this one.¡±


    After thinking for a while, Master Wanyu¡¯s fair skin flushed slightly. She quickly wrote a character, folded the paper without letting Chen Mobai see it, and handed it over to the girl in the sunglasses.


    ¡°Miss, what do you want to ask? Is it about marriage?¡±


    The girl in sunglasses, after opening it and taking a look, asked with a meaningful glance.


    ¡°No, no, I want to ask about the course of my future life.¡±


    With Chen Mobai right beside her, Master Wanyu felt embarrassed and could only subtly change her question to be about marriage.


    ¡°Your life will be blissful.¡±


    The reply from the girl in sunglasses made Master Wanyu very happy, but Chen Mobai furrowed his brow slightly. This standard answer is exactly the same as the one he received earlier¡ªlacking any depth or meaning.


    ¡°How will it be blissful?¡±


    Master Wanyu asked further.


    ¡°You will die a peaceful death.¡±


    The girl in the sunglasses replied with such a killjoy phrase that the initially elated Master Wanyu slightly hardened her expression. She opened her mouth to say something but felt embarrassed to ask in front of Chen Mobai and fell silent.


    ¡°To die a peaceful death is also my dream.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai spoke. He defused the awkwardness and picked up a blank paper from the table. He wrote down the second character representing his fortune for today.


    [Turtle]!


    Everything he had now was due to the turtle shell. Now he got a chance, he might as well ask a question.


    ¡°What do you want to ask?¡±


    ¡°About life.¡±


    Chen Mobai also wanted to know how far he could go in his life.


    ¡°Most people ask about life, and yours is one I¡¯m unable to decipher.¡±


    The girl in the sunglasses suddenly remarked. Then, from under the table, she withdrew a thick stack of cards.


    ¡°Draw one. These are the treasures of The Divine Machine Mansion. The phrase written on them will be your future life.¡±


    Chen Mobai slightly knitted his brows but still followed her instructions and drew a laminated card.


    The back of the card had an image of a bronze trigram wheel spiraling in the star-studded sky. When he turned the card over to look at the front, sure enough, there was a line of text.


    [Ascend and step into the world, tread on the path over emptiness.]


    ¡°Master, how should I understand this?¡±


    Chen Mobai was puzzled and asked the girl in the sunglasses, whom he thought this was very fitting to his life.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Miss, since you have also asked about life, draw a card as well. Although I saw the end of your life, there¡¯s some haze covering the path leading up to it.¡±


    Instead of answering Chen Mobai, the girl in sunglasses turned to Master Wanyu, who drew a card with a clueless expression.


    When she opened and looked at it, it was a different line of poetry.


    [Burst of stars beyond brushing dawn, falling ashes before the stairs.]


    Chen Mobai and Master Wanyu looked at each other, both of them didn¡¯t understand. As they turned to ask the girl in the sunglasses, her face suddenly turned pale, and she coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

 Chapter 372 - Chapter 372: Chapter 287 About Longevity_1

    Chapter 372: Chapter 287 About Longevity_1


    ¡°Master, are you alright?¡±


    Chen Mobai was about to ask how the poem on their cards came about when he turned to see the sunglasses-wearing girl spitting out blood, which shocked him greatly.


    He was inclined to reach out to the master in front of him, but remembering that they had female company, he quickly sent Wanyu over to see to her instead.


    ¡°No need, my fate here today is already fulfilled. I will take my leave.¡±


    The sunglasses-wearing girl waved her hand, stopping Wanyu who was approaching her.


    After saying this, she wiped the fresh blood from the corner of her mouth, then swept all items like card cloth from the table to the floor. Suddenly, she seemed like a phantom, retreating rapidly and retreated into the wall behind her, disappearing from their sight.


    Chen Mobai released his Divine Sense, searching high and low, but all he caught sight of was the girl¡¯s heel disappearing into another wall.


    He hesitated for a moment, but didn¡¯t forcefully follow her.


    ¡°I wonder what this line of poetry means?¡±


    Once the sunglasses-wearing girl left, Wanyu glanced at the card in her hand and muttered to herself.


    ¡°Let¡¯s look it up on an ancient text website when we have some time.¡±


    Chen Mobai casually suggested, which Wanyu agreed to happily. She then slid her card into the compartment of the little black bag she was carrying around her waist.


    ¡°Are you well-versed in the exchange fair?¡±


    Chen Mobai once again checked his drawn card, stashed it inside the pocket of his sleeve after understanding the general literal meaning, then posed a question.


    ¡°Pretty much, I¡¯ve been to most of the stalls with friends.¡±


    Wanyu said excitedly.


    ¡°Shall we walk around together? I want to go to the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute to ask some professional questions.¡±


    Chen Mobai courteously invited Wanyu, already mentioning his intended destination. She could easily steer the conversation elsewhere if she had other things to do.


    ¡°Mm-hmm!¡±


    However, Wanyu blushed and eagerly agreed.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go then.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave it no further thought, glanced at where the sunglasses-wearing girl had been sitting, which was now empty, adjusted his mood and said to Wanyu, before turning around and heading towards the end of the alleyway.


    At the moment his foot stepped into the outside sunlight, he wiped his face with his right hand and black crystal-like scales flew out, covering his face once more like a half-faced mask.


    Wanyu happily followed him out, her black shiny round-toed shoes on her feet.


    Upon seeing Chen Mobai put the mask back on, she felt as though she had him all to herself, her heart bursting with joy and her radiant face radiating sheer happiness.


    Some passers-by stopped in their tracks when they saw the stunningly attractive Wanyu emerge from the alleyway with a joyous expression on her face.


    However, when they saw her rushing to join the young man dressed in a Dancing Device Red and Black Robe, there was a hint of regret on their faces.


    So the beautiful lady¡¯s heart already belongs to someone.


    Damn it! Who was this Dancing Tools Dao Academy guy, acting mysterious with a mask on?


    Can¡¯t he see that we are here?


    Even the Magic Duel victor probably wouldn¡¯t act this pompously.


    Two male students watched as Wanyu, who was genuinely smiling by Chen Mobai¡¯s side, found their hearts souring and couldn¡¯t help disparaging him.


    ¡°The Life-Extension Cultivation Institute has four stalls: one for life extension, one for health preservation, one for medical consultation, and the most popular one, is the beauty preservation. It¡¯s crowded every day.¡±


    Listening to the cheerful voice of Wanyu next to him, smelling her scents wafting from her body, Chen Mobai found himself at peace.


    It was so much better than shopping with Hua Zijing.


    This vice-chairman, even though he¡¯s good-looking, never smiles, always acting detached, which makes this handsome boy who enjoys admiring beauty feel pressured.


    In contrast, Wanyu was a breath of fresh air. The two walked together, her face with light luxurious makeup was not only radiant with smiles the whole time, Chen Mobai could also feel her genuine joy and excitement. The cheerful rhythm of her elegant legs in her little leather shoes filled the atmosphere with her youthful vigor. It even seemed to affect him, whose mood was a bit down due to the Core Formation Tribulation, making him smile unconsciously.

    ¡°Why are there four stalls? I thought there¡¯s just one for life extension.¡±


    Chen Mobai asked while smilingly jabbering as if in response to Wanyu¡¯s sprightly chatter.


    ¡°I know this. Our Starlight Institute and the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute are in the same campus and we interact quite often. Although they said they¡¯re studying the secret of eternal life, in reality, only those True Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and the teachers could participate in the life-extension project.¡±


    ¡°Though the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute was spun off from the Jumang Daoist Academy, the cut-off points for admission are just average each year. Hence, most people who study here do not have the interest or talent to invest time in the ¡®life-extension¡¯ course which takes a long time to yield results. They typically select health preservation and beauty maintenance courses.¡±


    ¡°Among these, many Cultivators would practice Health Preservation Techniques in their later years and after mastery, they would open a tutoring class. If they manage to establish a good reputation, it could be lucrative. As for beauty maintenance, needless to say, many female cultivators would go to great lengths to achieve it.¡±

 Chapter 373 - Chapter 373: Chapter 287 About Life Extension_2

    Chapter 373: Chapter 287 About Life Extension_2


    As she said this, Miss Wanyu clenched her small fist, indicating that she was also part of this. This motion was quite adorable.


    As they were speaking, the two had already arrived at the stall of the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute.


    True to what Miss Wanyu said, their stall, which offered aging reversal services, was crowded with people.


    However, the second most popular wellness stall didn¡¯t seem to have many visitors.


    Perhaps this was because the expo was mainly attended by students ¨C young people full of vitality who did not yet feel the need for wellness services.


    ¡°Wanyu, didn¡¯t you say you were going to watch the Magic Duel Victory at the Dance Tool Dao Academy? Why did you come over here?¡±


    At this time, it seemed that Miss Wanyu had run into acquaintances. Two young girls waiting in line at the anti-aging stall were surprised to see her and immediately called out to her. One of them, seeing Chen Mobai in his Dancing Device Red and Black Robe, looked puzzled.


    ¡°These are my roommates. Let me say hello to them first.¡±


    Caught unexpectedly by friends, Miss Wanyu fought the urge to flaunt the person by her side, and softly spoke those words.


    ¡°Mm, I¡¯ll go over there to ask about something I¡¯ve been wondering about.¡±


    Chen Mobai also didn¡¯t want Miss Wanyu to know what he was about to ask. But right after they split up, he had just taken a seat at the Life-Extension Institute¡¯s stall when he felt two burning gazes looking his way.


    He didn¡¯t need to turn around. With a flicker of his Divine Sense, he knew it was Miss Wanyu¡¯s two roommates. One of them seemed to have guessed his identity and looked slightly excited.


    ¡°Esteemed senior student, a consultation at our booth will cost 100 Good Deed Points, to fund the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute¡¯s research on prolonging human life.¡±


    Seated at the Life-Extension booth was an attractive young man with dyed white hair, presenting himself as of juvenile appearance despite his white hair, and gestured to the payment QR code beside him.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate and took out his phone to pay the consultation fee.


    ¡°If you have any questions, please ask. My name is Yu Rulin, I am the chief of the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute. I established my Foundation just last year.¡±


    The young man with white hair introduced himself with an air of grace. Compared to the standards for chiefs at the Four Great Daoist Academies and Ten Great Schools, the requirements for the chiefs of the 120 Institutes were much lower. Any student who could establish their Foundation during their school years could become a chief.


    ¡°My father joined the Trench War when he was young. He faced an extremely dangerous situation and used a technique that consumed lifespan in exchange for temporarily raising his cultivation realm. I want to ask if there¡¯s any way to replenish the lifespan he consumed?¡±


    Chen Mobai made up a reason he had thought of beforehand; his words were full of a son¡¯s regret and an earnest desire to help his father.


    ¡°Oh, what technique did he use, Wildfire Spring Wind Technique? Starfire Scorched Earth Technique? Shocking God Ringing Bell Technique? Dry Wood Fierce Fire Technique? Holding Fire Accumulating Technique¡­¡±


    Yu Rulin named a great many techniques, all of which seemed to burn lifespan to increase cultivation or break through realms in the short term.


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t heard of them and didn¡¯t want to search on his phone in front of others or blindly choose one, so he tried to guide the conversation in the direction he wanted.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know exactly ¨C he didn¡¯t want me to worry, so he never mentioned it. I only discovered this after investigating some clues on my own. What I really want to know is whether lifespan lost to techniques or pills can be restored?¡±


    Yu Rulin didn¡¯t show any suspicion and nodded with certainty.


    ¡°That¡¯s the simplest. But my research focuses on lifespan extension. If you need to restore consumed lifespan, you should go to the medical stall over there.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the difference?¡±


    Chen Mobai really didn¡¯t know, so he asked in a puzzled tone.


    Seeing the Dance Instruments Red and Black Robe on Chen Mobai, Yu Rulin patiently started explaining.


    ¡°In the professional field of lifespan, we refer to the lifespan of a person under normal circumstances, without accidents or diseases, as ¡®Destined Life¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Everyone may have slight differences, but the general lifespan doesn¡¯t differ much. It¡¯s formed innately in the womb. Only the breakthrough of cultivation realm or heaven-defying spiritual objects like Immortal Toon Fruit can increase or prolong it.¡±


    ¡°To give you a simple example, imagine your body as a container that can hold a liter. No matter what you fill it with ¨C water or beverages ¨C it can¡¯t exceed the volume of the container itself. Consuming lifespan is like emptying some of the liquid from a full container in advance. Once the liquid in the container runs dry, it means that the lifespan is exhausted, or in other words, that the person has died a natural death.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai easily grasped the concept and couldn¡¯t help but praise Yu Rulin¡¯s professional expertise as the chief of the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute.


    ¡°So you¡¯re saying, to replenish lifespan, we need to refill the container with water?¡±


    He asked, and Yu Rulin nodded in affirmation, then pointed to a medical stall opposite them.


    ¡°Our lifespan extension study mainly deals with various methods to increase the container capacity beyond the limits of cultivation realm. It is about extending one¡¯s innate lifespan, which is among the top ten difficult problems in Daoist cultivation. The consumption of lifespan is just due to premature overdraft of the body and mind, or perhaps damage to the container itself. This is a problem distinct from life extension research. In simple terms, if you were sick, you would need treatment.¡±


    Though bluntly put, these words resonated deeply with Chen Mobai.


    Because the implication from Yu Rulin was clear: replenishing lifespan is an easy task, not worth calling out the chief of the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute.


    Following his instruction, Chen Mobai stepped into the neighboring medical stall.


    The stall owner was merely at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, named Le Chengwei. Chen Mobai¡¯s concern wasn¡¯t about disrespect, it was just that his level of expertise compared to the chief, Yu Rulin, was quite inferior.


    Clinician Le insisted Chen Mobai to disclose which exact spell he had used, only then would he prescribe the right elixir to replenish his lifespan.


    Seeing his obstinacy, Chen Mobai decided to return to Yu Rulin¡¯s stall, as it was clear that convincing him would be futile.


    ¡°Senior from the upper academy, although my stall isn¡¯t busy, professionalism is essential. If you wish to extend your lifespan, I can still discuss it with you, but I suggest not asking me to replenish your lifespan.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai in his mask return, Yu Rulin couldn¡¯t help but frown a little and put down his book.


    He had already mentioned that he¡¯s involved in lifespan research, not competent in treating patients.


    Only because he was from Dance Tool Dao Academy did Yu Rulin elaborate. Had it been any other university, even the top ten colleges, he would have directly referred them to a clinic.


    ¡°Brother Yu, how about we find a coffee shop and have a thorough chat?¡±


    At Chen Mobai¡¯s suggestion, Yu Rulin uttered a sigh. With a face full of impatience, he was just about to reject, when Chen Mobai¡¯s black crystal mask began to peel away and revealed his true identity.


    Once Yu Rulin recognized him, he was struck speechless, his face filled with disbelief.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    Meanwhile, Wanyu, Chen Mobai¡¯s roommate, who had been consistently observing him also caught a glimpse of his real face and couldn¡¯t help but exclaim shockingly.


    Luckily, in a split second, Chen Mobai reached up to his face and recovered his mask, hiding half of his face again.


    The surrounding onlookers, not having noticed anything amiss, stared curiously at Wanyu¡¯s roommate who just exclaimed in surprise. She didn¡¯t say anything, just covered her mouth and looked excited.


    ¡°Senior Chen, I know an excellent maid caf¨¦. Let¡¯s head over.¡±


    Yu Rulin¡¯s attitude had completely changed. He stood up to lead the way, and also signaled a junior from the next stall to take care of the lifespan extension stall for him.


    ¡°Please wait, I need to check in with a friend.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and then turned towards the ever-observant Wanyu and waved at her. She quickly moved apart from her two excited roommates and trotted over to him.

    ¡°I have some professional matters to discuss with Chief Yu, would you like to join us or explore around on your own?¡±


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s words were very tactful, his meaning was clear.


    Wanyu¡¯s radiant face fell a little. Nodding, she indicated that she¡¯d shop around with her roommates and wouldn¡¯t join them.


    ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s plan for another day. I still owe you a lipstick, I¡¯ll buy you one then.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and then left with Yu Rulin, who had been waiting for a while.

 Chapter 377 - Chapter 377: Chapter 289: The First Industry_1

    Chapter 377: Chapter 289: The First Industry_1


    In the world of immortals, for a true cultivator at the foundation establishment stage, earning money is not a difficult task.


    After all, every true cultivator at the foundation establishment stage can obtain a rank-2 professional certificate of Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal as long as they are willing to spend time.


    It¡¯s a bit embarrassing to say, Chen Mobai, who is the number one talisman prodigy of the 5012 cohort, despite having successfully established his foundation, is still only a rank-1 talisman maker.


    His peers, Siguanyu and Zhuang Jialan, had studied hard and utilized their extracurricular time to pass the rank-2 talisman maker exam back in the fourth grade.


    If it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai¡¯s fast advancement in realm, he would probably have lost the title of ¡°Number One in Talismans¡± by now.


    An arduous cultivator at the foundation establishment stage can basically earn over a million Good Deed Points per year.


    Chen Mobai calculated the amount of Good Deed Points he would need to purchase life-extending elixirs from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute to replenish 180 years of his lifespan.


    The life-replenishing elixir, priced at 8800 per pill, would cost 264000 points of Good Deed Points for 30 pills.


    The longevity pill, priced at 128000 per pill, would cost 115200 points of Good Deed Points for 9 pills.


    Since the turtle longevity pill is unavailable, he might need to endure drug resistance, continuing to consume longevity pills even after the 9th pill.


    Yu Rulin mentioned an experiment conducted by the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute: For the same person, the 10th longevity pill would only replenish 9 years of lifespan.


    After that, each pill would decrease by one year. By the time of taking the 20th pill, the effect of the longevity pill would be the same as the life-replenishing elixir.


    However, there would be an effect if one continues to consume it. Each longevity pill would continue to add 1 year of lifespan until the 30th pill, after which it would finish.


    If both the life-replenishing elixir and longevity pill are consumed 30 times each, it will replenish 177 years of lifespan, almost perfectly offsetting the side effects of the tree fruit.


    After doing the mental arithmetic, a precise number came up soon.


    4,104,000 points of Good Deed Points.


    Four million¡­


    A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth.


    It¡¯s a bit pricey. The fastest way is to sell the foundation establishment treasures bought with academic credits, which is in high demand throughout the whole immortal world. As long as there is stock, there will be no lack of buyers who are willing to pay extra.


    However, this method could only be used in emergencies. After all, Chen Mobai would graduate someday and could not always exploit the Daoist Academy.


    He still needed to think of a way to generate a stable income. After all, though resources were scarce in the immortal world, there were still a lot of good items. Having some Good Deed Points stocked up would undoubtedly be useful at some point.


    After some thought, and upon reading through the legal terms of the immortal world, Chen Mobai discovered that all possible means of earning money in the immortal world have been monopolized by others.


    The most lucrative industry was, of course, elixirs.


    But the six major pharmaceutical factories in the immortal world dominate most of the market, and the remaining areas are almost monopolized by certain sectors like the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute.


    The elixir areas overlooked by the six pharmaceutical factories and the major universities of the immortal world have unfathomably intense competition. After a brief consultation with Wang Xingyu, Chen Mobai immediately dismissed the idea of making money from elixirs.


    He originally thought about smuggling herbs from the Divine Wood Sect in the Tianhe Realm to sell here, but Wang Xingyu mentioned that every piece of spiritual medicine that enters the market in the immortal world needs to be stamped by the Immortal World Drug Supervision Bureau.


    If one procures some for personal use, these regulations can be disregarded. However, if one wishes to engage in large-scale selling, it is impossible to get around the bureau.


    The origin of every herb needs to be accounted for, from cultivation to harvesting and storage. If any step is missing, the bureau will not issue the stamp.


    Medical stores will not purchase any herbs that are not endorsed by the Immortal World.


    After elixirs, the next lucrative businesses are talismans and magic artifacts.


    Talismans have deeply penetrated all aspects of life in the immortal world and are considered consumables. The competition here is pretty stable. As long as one can produce these, and there is a certified professional talisman maker to stamp the professional seal, buyers will exist.


    However, this field relies heavily on reputation. Even if Chen Mobai gains his rank-2 talisman maker certification immediately, it probably wouldn¡¯t be a match for the factories run by rank-3 or even rank-4 talisman makers.


    When it comes to the magic artifact industry, the most profitable items are various life utensils, but Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t have any connections in this field.


    He shouldn¡¯t even consider array law infrastructure, as he knows nothing about it.


    After turning it over in his mind, he finally ended up going back to studying elixirs and talismans.


    He is familiar with talismans, whereas for elixirs, he has connections in the Tianhe Realm.


    However, at this stage, Chen Mobai is only considering his options and has not made a final decision.


    He decided to consult an expert in the field.


    After turning on his phone, he sent a private message to the shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual Talisman Shop in Red Sandstone City, which he had frequented in the past.


    As expected, the shopkeeper remembered him, the large customer, and spoke warmly to him.


    However, when Chen Mobai asked for advice on how to run a good talisman shop, the shopkeeper immediately replied with a speechless expression.


    Who would ask their competitors?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But this shopkeeper didn¡¯t have any grand ambitions, and his shop was merely a personal workshop. He shared his experiences and insights from running his shop over the years.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai realized it¡¯s not as easy as it seems.


    As there¡¯s no professional equipment or machinery, the shopkeeper has to mix his own talisman ink painstakingly. Fortunately, there are some small tools that can help crush cinnabar, infuse spiritual objects, and control the fire with a timer and thermometer.


    If he were in the Tianhe Realm, where everything relies on experience and manpower, Chen Mobai would probably give up immediately.


    The advantage of a small workshop is the lack of maintenance costs for large equipment and costs for hiring cultivators. Talisman paper can be purchased, and a well-made talisman brush can be used for several years.

 Chapter 378 - Chapter 378: Chapter 289: The First Industry_2

    Chapter 378: Chapter 289: The First Industry_2


    However, the downside is, it can¡¯t scale up.


    The profit margin in talismans is already thin, and with everyone capable of becoming a Talisman Maker, competition is fierce.


    The entire Cultivation industry has industrialised, which saves on labour costs. The talisman industry only has a profit margin of about 5%.


    Even so, every year at least a hundred newly registered talisman shops end up closing and filing for bankruptcy.


    The fact that Wood Spiritual Talisman Shop has been able to operate online in the cultivation world for ten years, even turning a slight profit every year, is already an industry success story.


    [Generally for us Qi Practitioners, even achieving Rank-2 as a talisman maker only enables us to scrape by. However, it¡¯s different for those who have achieved the Foundation Establishment. They just need to settle locally, places like our Red Sandstone City are willing to give them a piece of land for free to start an industry, and there are also various tax incentives.]


    [So in the cultivation world, only the realm truly matters. Unfortunately, I failed at establishing my foundation and still owe the bank a large loan. Though I have managed to cultivate back to the ninth level of Qi cultivation, I guess there¡¯s no chance for me to move up in this lifetime.]


    [Right now, the only thing I can hope for is that my younger siblings who are in college will successfully establish their foundation, so that our family will have a chance to escape our debts.]


    At the end of the conversation, the Shopkeeper of the Wood Spiritual Talisman shop seemed to be touched and sent over a string of long texts, reflecting on his struggles over the years.


    Chen Mobai comforted him for a bit, added his real-life contact details, and then called his mother.


    ¡°What, you want to start a talisman factory?¡±


    After hearing about Chen Mobai¡¯s plan, Tang Panchui yelled in surprise.


    ¡°Yes, I heard there¡¯s a policy in Red Sandstone City that gives free land to those who have achieved the Foundation Establishment. I recently achieved my Foundation Establishment, so it¡¯d be a waste not to take advantage of this,¡± explained Chen Mobai.


    When Chen Mobai was at university, his residence registration was changed to Crimson City.


    Now that he found out about these benefits upon returning, he naturally wouldn¡¯t let it slip by.


    ¡°Son, your entrepreneurial spirit makes me very proud, but starting a business is not a simple matter. After getting the land, you need to build a factory, where is the startup capital coming from? Even if you get the factory up and running, managing the operation team is another big issue. Even if all this is completed, there¡¯s the problem of how to distribute and sell the talismans you manufacture¡­¡±


    Tang Panchui, who had been a worker in a talisman factory for over twenty years, was deeply versed in the complexities of the industry.


    ¡°How about opening a small shop first to accumulate some experience?¡± Chen Mobai suggested after the lecture, feeling that he had not considered things thoroughly, though his entrepreneurial spirit remained undaunted.


    As a trader between the two worlds, he felt that it was necessary to open a proper factory on the cultivation side to act as a cover for his large-scale reselling activities in the future.


    ¡°That¡¯s a much better idea, and if you truly plan to start a business after graduation, I do have an opportunity for you,¡± Tang Panchui suddenly proposed, surprising Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Mom, you¡¯re a worker, do you have a startup opportunity?¡±


    ¡°Our boss is said to be close to reaching the sixth rank in Foundation Establishment. If he wants to progress further, he definitely cannot stay in a small place like Red Sandstone City, he has to venture to the larger Heavenly Caves. When he leaves, he will have to handle these factories. I¡¯ll talk to him, if you¡¯re genuinely interested, he might be inclined to sell to you,¡± Tang Panchui explained.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but recall his childhood days playing in the talisman factory where his mother worked.


    He had met the boss several times, a very mild-mannered man.


    His name was Wu Shangru, a graduate of Cinnabarite Institute. He successfully achieved the Foundation Establishment during his school years, and was adopted by Red Sandstone City as a prospective talent. After years of hard work in talisman crafting and business, he set up his now-existing industry.


    However, every gain comes with a loss. The resources and spiritual energy in Red Sandstone City could not compare to those larger Heavenly Caves. Despite having earned tens of millions of Good Deed Points, his cultivation level had undoubtedly been progressing slowly.


    If Chen Mobai remembered correctly, Wu Shangru should be around 80 years old. If he could not reach the ninth level of Foundation Establishment within the next forty years, and miss the peak of his physical and spiritual energy, it would basically be hopeless for him to achieve Core Formation.


    If Wu Shangru had more ambitious goals, he indeed should head towards the Great Cavernous Heaven.


    Obviously, this head graduate from the Cinnabarite Institute still retained his pride.


    In the evening, he personally made a phone call to Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai respectfully addressed him as uncle, considering he watched him grow up, the latter was quite pleased with this address.


    Wu Shangru actually planned to leave Red Sandstone City a long time ago, but he had established his footing there with the help of the city government. The current city lord considered it a personal favor, and was reluctant to see him, a talent, leave.


    Even though the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators of the 72 Blessed Lands in the Immortal Sect had mostly migrated to the 36 Great Cavernous Heavens, the Red Sandstone City Lord would delay Wu Shangru¡¯s departure for as long as he could.


    Moreover, his Flying Sky Talisman Factory was one of their pillar industries. Although Wu Shangru promised when leaving that he would hand over the factory to local businessmen, ensuring no massive unemployment.


    But without a renowned Foundation Establishment True Cultivator taking over, the talisman factory, with its annual output value of millions, would only decline until it finally declared bankruptcy.


    For this reason, Wu Shangru, who should have left Red Sandstone City five or six years ago, was held back.


    He had already found his way out, as long as he could move his residence to Huayang Cavernous Heaven, and coupled with sixty years of experience and dedication to the prefecture¡¯s number one talisman factory, he would qualify to purchase a Water Elemental Gold Core.


    Wu Shangru actually joined the factory twenty years ago, now he just needed to change his residence.


    Now that Chen Mobai had approached him, it was a perfect fit for Wu Shangru.


    With the most popular current chief of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy taking over, it was estimated that Red Sandstone City would send him away with drumming and cheering, so that Chen Mobai¡¯s residence could be moved back as soon as possible.


    ¡°Dear nephew, you have indeed helped me out. How about this? I hire you as the spokesperson for my Flying Sky Talisman Factory. I won¡¯t give you a spokesperson fee, but after you graduate in four years, I¡¯ll give you my business here in Red Sandstone City, how¡¯s that?¡±


    Wu Shangru proposed very sincere terms at the beginning, Chen Mobai thought for a moment and agreed immediately.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll start arrangements for your mother to take over the Talisman Factory from tomorrow. If you have time, you can come back and sign the contract, if not, I¡¯ll come to Crimson Cavernous Heaven to find you.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about it and felt it would be better to go himself.


    After all, he was getting a huge bargain. For four years he was getting a reputable talisman factory, which has been around for fifty years, for free.


    Although the land belonged to Red Sandstone City, the factory building and equipment were at least worth nearly ten million Good Deed Points.


    Even if he put himself at risk, he had planned to find a quiet, low-key place to practice and improve his cultivation after graduating.


    His hometown, Red Sandstone City, was just perfect.


    Before heading back, Chen Mobai called Qing Nu first, but unfortunately, she was busy improving herself and didn¡¯t plan to return as Red Sandstone City would remind her of Kong Feichen and Yang Jing.


    ¡°By the way, since you could appear in Little Red Sky, are you also in Crimson Cavernous Heaven?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly thought of this question, but Qing Nu said she wasn¡¯t.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°The spiritual vein of Crimson Mountain is actually one of the prehistoric dragon pulses, theoretically, it can flow through most of the Immortal Sect. That¡¯s why we chose to open Little Red Sky here.¡±


    ¡°The four main Daoist Academies and the ten universities all have internal projection lines distributed by the Immortal Sect to enter Little Red Sky. However, it¡¯s not as stable as in Crimson Cavernous Heaven, and the number of people who can enter is limited.¡±


    ¡°But after this period of beta testing, Little Red Sky has become stable. Once the core Rank-5 Spiritual Treasures are put in, the Crimson Mountain Dragon Pulse will immediately be activated, covering the whole Immortal Sect. At that time, our Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from the four Daoist Academies, who have graduated long ago, will be able to enter one after another. Your unbeatable winning streak may be in jeopardy.¡±


    Upon hearing Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai simply laughed.


    ¡°I have always been waiting for someone who can defeat me to appear.¡±

 Chapter 379 - Chapter 379: Chapter 290: Returning Home in Glory_1

    Chapter 379: Chapter 290: Returning Home in Glory_1


    Qing Nu did not answer, and Chen Mobai then called Yan Bingxuan.


    Since it was agreed last year that everyone would not return, Yan Bingxuan did not return to Red Sandstone City either. She dedicated herself to enhancing her Ice Spirit Root at the Nature Studies Academy.


    However, there was good news. Her close friend, class president Mo Simin, had returned. Although Chen Mobai was only somewhat familiar with her, she was at least someone he knew.


    After greeting Hua Zijing and handing the student council matters to her, Chen Mobai bought a plane ticket overnight and returned to Red Sandstone City.


    Wu Shangru had already arranged everything, and when the City Lord of Red Sandstone City learned that Chen Mobai was transferring his household registration back, he personally came to witness the contract transfer between the two.


    The City Lord of Red Sandstone City, named Qin Baipeng, was a graduate of the Heavenly Book Academy. He had a refined appearance, bright eyes, and his upright posture gave people a feeling of strength and rectitude.


    ¡°After achieving in your cultivation, you still want to return to your hometown, you will become the second True Red Robe Cultivator.¡±


    After witnessing Chen Mobai and Wu Shangru sign the two contracts, Qin Baipeng spoke with satisfaction.


    ¡°I am honored to meet the City Lord. I wonder if the right to use this industrial land can be renewed?¡±


    The land for the Heavenly Talisman Factory was allocated to the True Cultivator Wu Shangru by the Immortal Sect of Red Sandstone City. In four years, Chen Mobai would officially obtain the factory. Due to the change in ownership of the land, the use right of this land is automatically voided.


    It requires Chen Mobai¡¯s name to renew a land use agreement with the government of the Immortal Sect of Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°No problem, once you transfer your household registration back, I will immediately designate this land in your name.¡±


    Qin Baipeng was a decisive man who promptly clarified matters.


    ¡°Can I then transfer my household registration out?¡±


    Wu Shangru immediately asked, receiving a negative nod from Qin Baipeng.


    ¡°We can spare a little time. Little Chen still needs to study at Crimson City for four years before graduating. When he transfers his household registration back, you can then transfer out. You already work there, so four years won¡¯t matter much.¡±


    Wu Shangru had already anticipated this. He planned to ask the two Gold Core Cultivators for help if Qin Baipeng indeed refused.


    Although he now had a confirmation and felt somewhat disappointed about waiting for another four years.


    ¡°In fact, I can transfer my household registration back now if that¡¯s okay.¡±


    Seeing Wu Shangru sigh, Chen Mobai felt a bit embarrassed, after all, he was getting the Talisman Brush Factory which Wu Shangru had managed diligently for fifty years. He proposed his idea.


    ¡°Oh, if that¡¯s the case, it would certainly be best.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Baipeng burst into laughter.


    There is an Immortal Sect rule that after enrolling in a local university, students can choose whether to transfer their household registration based on their willingness.


    When Chen Mobai enrolled, he chose this option wanting to experience life as a resident of Great Heaven City.


    Since returning now has such benefits, he decided it¡¯s better to return early and help Wu Shangru.


    Sure enough, when he expressed this, all three present were overjoyed.


    To avoid delay, Qin Baipeng personally helped Chen Mobai with the procedures to transfer his household registration. On receiving the reply from Red Sandstone City, Crimson City also agreed without any delay.


    ¡°That¡¯s how it is in Great Heaven City. For those who want to move out, they barely do any review. But for those moving in, unless they are students of the Daoist Academy with rules set by the Immortal Sect, they will almost examine the past three generations.¡±


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s change of household registration had been completed, Qin Baipeng said the above with a touch of mockery, and then also approved the transfer of Wu Shangru¡¯s household registration.


    ¡°My Taoist partner is a resident of Huayang City. If it weren¡¯t for your blockade, I would have already changed my household registration there.¡±


    To this, Wu Shangru complained a bit. If it hadn¡¯t been for Qin Baipeng¡¯s obstruction for all these years, he would have already left Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°With the wealth you have today, all thanks to the support of the Immortal Sect of Red Sandstone City. Now that you have reached a high cultivation level, you want to take your tens of millions of assets and leave with a clap of your hands. It¡¯s not that easy.¡±


    Qin Baipeng was of a strong character and didn¡¯t mince his words.


    Knowing he was in the wrong, Wu Shangru didn¡¯t comment but gave a reluctant smile.


    ¡°Ensure a smooth transition of the Heavenly Talisman Brush Factory, otherwise, even if you go to Huayang City, I can influence your reputation.¡±


    The three of them had a meal together, then Qin Baipeng left after advising Wu Shangru. He didn¡¯t need to say that as Wu Shangru would ensure it anyway.


    In the end, on this star, all cultivators are bound to the Immortal Sect.


    In the following days, Chen Mobai followed Wu Shangru to familiarize himself with the operation of the Heavenly Talisman Brush Factory.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He finally got a look at the fully automated talisman ink production equipment he had been dreaming of. As long as the raw materials are fed and the machine is operated by the staff, high-quality talisman ink, nearly impurity-free, can be obtained after a certain period.


    There are three such devices in the entire factory, all left for Chen Mobai by Wu Shangru.


    Besides the talisman ink machine, there are also paper making machines and printing machines.


    Chen Mobai even found a device for making talisman brushes.


    However, according to Wu Shangru, this machine was a second-hand product he had acquired and could only produce Rank-1 Talisman Brushes.

 Chapter 380 - Chapter 380: Chapter 290: Return to Hometown in Glory_2

    Chapter 380: Chapter 290: Return to Hometown in Glory_2


    Though this Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory was not large, it was fully equipped. All the equipment and machinery required for making talismans were available here, the result of Wu Shangru¡¯s fifty years of painstaking efforts.


    Yet, for the sake of reaching Core Formation, he had resolutely decided to abandon everything.


    After giving Chen Mobai a tour, Wu Shangru convened all the factory workers and announced the transition. Apart from Tang Panchui and a few top-level executives who were already aware, most were shocked but prepared.


    After all, Wu Shangru had mentioned this matter several years ago.


    In the world of cultivation, the cultivation realm has always been the top priority.


    Compared to the possibility of attaining Core Formation, this factory had indeed become an obstacle to Wu Shangru¡¯s further advancement.


    ¡°I will stay here for another half year, ensuring a smooth transition of the factory to your mother.¡±


    Since Chen Mobai was still studying, he naturally couldn¡¯t manage the factory for an extended period. Wu Shangru had taken this into account and willingly offered his assistance.


    Tang Panchui, who was usually quite carefree, was a little apprehensive at this point.


    After all, she had been a worker all her life, and suddenly becoming the boss was a bit overwhelming.


    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Wu.¡±


    Chen Mobai thanked Wu Shangru. With his promise, at least some of the load was lifted off Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulders.


    When he returned home that night.


    He informed his father, Chen Xinglan, of the matter, hoping he too would resign from his job and help out at the Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory.


    Chen Xinglan naturally agreed.


    Chen Mobai stayed in Red Sandstone City for half a month, helping his parents take over the factory and visiting the True Man in Red Robe whenever he got a chance.


    Regrettably, the True Man had been in deep cultivation since last year and Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t gotten a chance to see him.


    However, he took this opportunity to catch up with Chansi, Shen Juanxiu, and Luan Jingsheng.


    Among them, Shen Juanxiu had failed Foundation Establishment again and had completely given up. She had begun to consider marriage under her family¡¯s arrangement, after which she would manage their family business.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai could only provide encouragement and remind her not to abandon her ambition to reach greater heights in cultivation, even after getting married and having children.


    Because of Shen Juanxiu¡¯s continuous failures, Chansi had also developed a bit of a shadow around Foundation Establishment, despite being ready for it. Now, she was devoting herself to studying the Lore of Thresholds, hoping to understand this Foundation Establishment divine skill before she took the next step.


    She was still young, and Chen Mobai was very supportive of her decision.


    Luan Jingsheng was still accumulating Good Deed Points to purchase the Foundation Establishment three treasures. He was able to obtain one of them from the institute, but he had to arrange for the other two himself.


    Thus, he had obtained the Rank-1 Talisman Maker certificate and was studying hard in the hope of qualifying as a Rank-1 Artifact Refiner.


    These old friends from Cinnabarite Institute all had a bright future.


    Shen Juanxiu lit up when she heard that Chen Mobai had acquired the Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory. Her family¡¯s Spirit Sand mine mainly served various talisman factories in Red Sandstone City, as well as some individual buyers with demand.


    The Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory hadn¡¯t previously sourced their Spirit Sand from her family, but with Chen Mobai taking over, she felt it was a business opportunity she should pursue.


    ¡°Given our relationship, I would naturally prioritize you. However, I¡¯ve just taken over and will need to maintain the current mode of operation for the first couple of years. Once I understand the situation better, I¡¯ll switch to your family as the supplier of Spirit Sand.¡±


    Before Chen Mobai had reached Foundation Establishment in the cultivation world, most of his start-up capital came from Shen Juanxiu¡¯s generosity, so he naturally agreed to her request.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll graduate next year and formally join the family business. By then, clinching your order would reflect well on my performance.¡±


    Shen Juanxiu was delighted at this.


    In the cultivation world, there¡¯s a rule that if a female cultivator becomes pregnant, she can be exempted from military service.


    This was why Shen Juanxiu was in such a hurry to marry. But generally, female cultivators who make this choice essentially give up the possibility of reaching Foundation Establishment. It was for this reason that Chen Mobai had previously advised her to hold on to her dreams.


    ¡°Brother Luan is a Rank-1 Talisman Maker. If you¡¯re willing, you can join my Feitian Symbol Factory. The talisman industry has more or less reached saturation, but there¡¯s still plenty of room for movement in the area of talisman devices. That¡¯s what I plan to focus on in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai invited Luan Jingsheng again. The latter being able to produce the Five Transformation Umbrella, a type of Talisman Artfact, even before graduation, was undoubtedly a talent.


    Luan Jingsheng was willing, of course. He hadn¡¯t earned enough Good Deed Points, and compared with working small-time with Wu Wan, joining a big company for development was clearly more promising.


    ¡°So I¡¯m the only one being left out by this Foundation Establishment true cultivator.¡±


    With a joking remark from Chen Sike, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t dare agree, and laughed as he raised his cup to toast her.


    ¡°If Professor Chen is willing to come to our company, I would naturally be more than happy to welcome her.¡±


    ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ve gathered my three Foundation Establishment treasures and now I¡¯m only interested in creating my own Foundation. If I fail in the future, I¡¯ll come to your company to earn some Good Deed Points.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai wished her success in her Foundation Establishment.


    After arranging for Luan Jingsheng to join the company, Chen Mobai went to visit Shi Qujin.


    ¡°Nephew, you really are worthy of being the top student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Your Void Spirit Eye is probably no worse than mine.¡±


    In the Jade Utensil Hall, two true cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage were chatting over tea. Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling were listening on the side. Shi Qujin, with his years of experience cultivating the Void Spirit Eye, was astounded to see Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze deep within his eyes, pure and jade-like, as clear as the empty void.


    ¡°I was lucky. I got some spiritual objects suitable for cultivation in the Daoist Academy.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mention that his Void Spirit Eye was already superior to his. He modestly changed the subject, speaking about moving his household registration back and taking over the Feitian Symbol Factory.


    ¡°Ah, I really envy Xiao Wu. At least he has the option to give up everything and pursue Core Formation.¡±


    Shi Qujin had known about this long ago. After all, there were only about fifty true Foundation Establishment cultivators in Red Sandstone City, and those who had the hope of Core Formation would try to go to those big cave heavens.


    It was expected that Wu Shangru, who had the hope of Core Formation, would leave.


    What they didn¡¯t expect was that it would be Chen Mobai who took over.


    ¡°We didn¡¯t expect Nephew to be willing to return.¡±


    ¡°The Daoist Academy can exchange for Fire Element Gold Core Pills. It doesn¡¯t matter where my household registration is. If there is a chance to obtain the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, I might be more eager than Uncle Wu.¡±


    Chen Mobai said in self-deprecation, but Shi Qujin couldn¡¯t laugh.


    He probably wouldn¡¯t be able to cultivate to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment in his lifetime and had given up many years ago.


    ¡°Nephew, you¡¯re welcome to visit whenever you¡¯re free.¡±


    After visiting Shi Qujin and expressing his friendly stance towards the other Foundation Establishment true cultivators in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai bid his leave.


    In the following time, Chen Mobai invited classmates like Mo Simin, Shi Jingjing, and Cao Yaling for a meal, but unfortunately, many made excuses to not come.


    He didn¡¯t mind and started to focus on managing his first business.


    Feitian Symbol Factory has an annual output of about twenty million Good Deed Points. Last year¡¯s profit was 1.2 million Good Deed Points. Chen Mobai found this puzzling. A Foundation Establishment true cultivator working for a salary also has an annual salary of a million Good Deed Points. It seemed Wu Shangru had wasted his effort in setting up the factory.


    Wu Shangru personally explained that he had another personal talisman shop on the Fairy Door Network. All the talismans sold there were Rank-2 or higher boutique talismans, and the profit from that part also equated to a million Good Deed Points.


    The raw materials were all from the Feitian Symbol Factory, and he considered the sales pure profit.


    No wonder Wu Shangru gave up his business in Red Sandstone City so resolutely. He had already set up his own brand.

    Chen Mobai could only admire this and couldn¡¯t blame him. However, Wu Shangru promised to pay with Good Deed Points for talisman paper and talisman ink from the Feitian Symbol Factory from now on.


    Chen Mobai humbly asked Wu Shangru for business advice, and the latter answered all his questions.


    ¡°Uncle Wu, if I want to get four million Good Deed Points in a short period, do you have any good suggestions?¡±


    ¡°This is simple. The talisman factory I left for you is a high-quality asset without any debts or loans. You can use the property and land use rights as mortgage at the Fairy Door Bank. They will easily loan you not just four million, but even eight million.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was enlightened.

 Chapter 381 - Chapter 381: Chapter 291: Rank-2 Spiritual Wine_1

    Chapter 381: Chapter 291: Rank-2 Spiritual Wine_1


    After spending half a month in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai had no choice but to return to Crimson City.


    Because the new school term had begun.


    This year he officially became a sixth-grade student.


    However, for Chen Mobai, the division of grades no longer held any meaning.


    After all, after Foundation Establishment, he would barely attend classes. He would appear only at the year-end examinations to earn credits.


    This year, Chen Mobai, as usual, chose three main courses: Talismans, Puppetry, and Spirit Plant Cultivation.


    He just replaced Sword Control from last year with Spirit Plant Cultivation.


    The main reason being that he had completed all the knowledge related to ¡°Agricultural Studies¡± offered by the academy, having a firm grasp of everything from the cultivation of Rank-1 to Rank-2 Spirit Rice, to the maintenance of the Spirit Field.


    To progress further, and dive into the knowledge regarding Spirit Fields and Spirit Rice above Rank-3, he had to join the major discipline of Spirit Plant Cultivation.


    After his three major courses, he had some elective courses. After completing all credits for the most burdensome Agricultural Studies, he started to focus on ¡°Herb Distinguish¡± and ¡°Treasure Appraisal¡±.


    These two courses were crucial to becoming a major merchant in the future.


    However, to earn credits, he still chose courses like Mineral Identification and Extraction of Pigments from Talisman Ink.


    Having completed the Calligraphy course, Chen Mobai also selected other Spirit Plant related subjects such as Geo-survey, Mining Geology, and Protection and Cultivation of Spiritual Medicines.


    After registering, Chen Mobai arranged a time to meet Yu Rulin, who informed him that the reserves of Life-replenishing Elixirs and Longevity Pills were quite abundant. Thus, he did not rush to pawn the Talisman factory he owned in Red Sandstone City.


    He decided to wait until he had accumulated a set of Immortal Fruit before dealing with this issue.


    After all, pawning also required interest. Saving a bit here and there could lead to accumulated savings.


    The next few days returned to the normal rhythm.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s Pure Yang Scroll Foundation Establishment, he began to concentrate on improving the Cultivation Level and Realm of this Divinity Transformation Technique.


    After all, even if he successfully completed his Foundation Establishment using the Immortal Fruit in the future, he would still need to elevate this technique to the same realm if he wished to use the ¡°The Union of Differences¡± for Core Formation.


    Fortunately, the Immortal Cultivation side had Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. As long as the realm was achieved, he could use this elixir to replenish his Spiritual Power.


    Chen Mobai earned glory for the Dance Tool Dao Academy in Little Red Sky, and as an academy reward, received one hundred vials of Rank-2 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, which was sufficient to complete the first layer of Foundation Establishment of the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s ability to break through one realm per year was due to the wonders of ¡°The Union of Differences¡±, and the function of the high-grade Spirit Vein of Crimson Mountain and the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Upon comparing the circumstances of Immortal Cultivation in the Tianhe Realm and the Earth Yuan Star, Chen Mobai felt that on the Immortal Cultivation side, the most remarkable Spiritual Medicine should be this Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Although not every cultivator in the Immortal side can afford Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, Chen Mobai, at least, had the means to procure it.


    Furthermore, after consuming Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, a corresponding amount of Spiritual Energy was required to manifest its effects. The thing that Chen Mobai was least lacking in, whether in Crimson Mountain or the Tianhe Realm, was Spiritual Energy.


    This year, Chen Mobai honed his Fire and Wood attribute Spells in Little Red Sky while using Qi-replenishing Spirit Water to boost his Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    Without a doubt, as time progressed, the level of duels between True Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage in Little Red Sky was becoming increasingly fierce.


    In the beginning, Chen Mobai was able to easily suppress and defeat Cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment using his rich combat experience and spells. By the start of the new semester, however, some Cultivators, to his surprise, were already capable of pushing him to the point where he had to utilize Sword Light to achieve victory.


    The Cultivators in the mid stages of Foundation Establishment progressed even faster.


    When facing the top individuals among them, Chen Mobai sometimes had to go all out to ensure his victory.


    However, this was also a significant grind for him.


    After expanding his rule into half of the academy¡¯s territories in Little Red Sky using the Spirit Vein of Crimson Mountain and the Primordial Yang Sword, the opponents Chen Mobai encountered became increasingly numerous. There was even a time when his legendary invincibility was almost broken.


    The challenger was a rising star of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, named Nangong Xiu. Although his Cultivation Level was only at the third layer of Foundation Establishment, he had partially cultivated the Six Controlling Technique and was hailed as the second Lan Haitian.


    The match between Nangong Xiu and Chen Mobai still ranks first in the video on demand of Little Red Sky.


    Fortunately, in the end, Chen Mobai ended up winning, using the Sun Rising Technique Flame Burst Technique Triggering Green Yang Fire Sword Light to penetrate Nangong Xiu¡¯s Six Controlling Technique, and securing his victory.


    In addition to Nangong Xiu, Chen Mobai also encountered the Divine Transmuting progenies of the other two Daoist Academies.


    In addition to Qing Nu, the Jumang Daoist Institute also had an Innate Heavenly Spiritual Root. However, his mastery over the ¡°Eight Wildernesses and One Qi Technique¡± was still quite shallow. Since he was not good at Magic Duels, the pressure he gave Chen Mobai was far less than that given by Nangong Xiu.


    Apart from the four major Daoist Academies, there were hidden dragons and tigers among the remaining ten major academies, with several talents similar to Lu Qiulong.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Luckily, they generally lacked fighting spirit and hadn¡¯t fully amassed their Magic Duel skills, allowing them to calmly accept the result of failure when facing Chen Mobai.


    But Chen Mobai had a feeling that in a few years, after they had become familiar with their own power in Little Red Sky, it wouldn¡¯t be as easy for him to secure victories.


    For Cultivators, time flew the fastest.


    Divine Wood Sect.


    It was once again time for the year-end Sect Competition. For Qi Cultivation disciples, this was a battle that could change their destiny.

 Chapter 382 - Chapter 382: Chapter 291: Rank-2 Spiritual Wine_2

    Chapter 382: Chapter 291: Rank-2 Spiritual Wine_2


    For Foundation Establishment cultivators, it was a rare period of leisure after a busy year.


    ¡°What a pity that Senior Brother Yuan is still in seclusion; he will not get to taste this Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine.¡±


    In his courtyard in Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai sat on the ground, opening a large jar of spiritual wine brewed from Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice harvested last year. The rich and mellow scent of the wine permeated the air, causing everyone present to narrow their eyes in intoxication.


    ¡°It seems I came back at just the right time this year.¡±


    E Yun, sitting next to Chen Mobai, spoke.


    This year, there weren¡¯t many battles at Yun Meng Ze. E Yun transported the inner cores of demonic beasts and other precious items back to the sect. He also took the opportunity to apply for resources like Spirit Stone Arrays for the coming year.


    Besides the two of them, Yan Jinye and Yue Zutao were also present. The former had been quite close to Chen Mobai ever since the event at Lonely Spirit Ridge ¨C after all, they could be considered friends who had gone through life and death together.


    As for Yue Zutao, he was someone Chen Mobai had always wanted to befriend. After all, he was the only one who had sampled the Tree Fruit beverage.


    Before, when he was invited to Xiao Nanshan, Yue Zutao didn¡¯t come because he felt it was too far. Today, he was in Divine Wood City and when he heard that Rank-2 spiritual wine was going to be opened, he gladly attended.


    This Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine did not disappoint the four Foundation Establishment true cultivators present.


    After each of them had a taste, their faces flushed, and a faint white mist ascended from their foreheads. A long while later, everyone sighed in relief, relishing the satisfaction of their vitality and spirits. They couldn¡¯t help but praise it.


    ¡°I did not expect that this Spiritual Wine made from Rank-2 Spirit Rice, just one sip, has an effect almost comparable to taking a Rejuvenation Elixir.¡±


    The Rejuvenation Elixir is a Rank-2 lower-grade elixir, used by Foundation Establishment cultivators at the early stage to nourish their bodies and invigorate their vitality. If taken long-term, it can also help in cultivating spiritual power and enhancing divine sense.


    Even though it¡¯s not too expensive, at ten Spirit Stones each, the sheer quantity needed is daunting. Basically, any Foundation Establishment cultivator in a good condition would keep hundreds of them on hand.


    And those body refining cultivators would take it day and night.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, when will this Rank-2 spiritual wine be available in your shop?¡±


    After drinking, Yue Zutao couldn¡¯t help but inquire about placing an order.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that will have to wait ten years.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made everyone on the scene gasp in surprise.


    ¡°Junior Brother, why does it take so long?¡±


    ¡°Zhuo Ming, could you explain to Elder Brother E and the others?¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately called on his little disciple who was serving at the side. Her cultivation level had already reached the sixth level of Qi Cultivation. In these two years, she had been focusing on cultivating Spirit Rice and concocting Medicinal Wine. Her originally fair skin had developed a slightly jade yellow color, making E Yun almost fail to recognize her.


    ¡°Two elder uncles, this is how it is. The maturation of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice takes ten years. The Spirit Rice used for brewing this wine was ripened using a special method by my master; its quality is actually not up to Rank-2.¡±


    E Yun and Yue Zutao looked at each other in surprise after hearing this.


    On the other hand, Yan Jinye, who had been frequently visiting Xiao Nanshan this year, already knew about this. In fact, she even participated in the process of brewing the wine.


    ¡°But that¡¯s not right, this jar of Spiritual Wine is a genuine Rank-2.¡±


    The difference between Rank-1 and Rank-2 was something that these Foundation Establishment cultivators could discern. The Elixirs and Spiritual Wine of Rank-1 were of no use to them now, only a Rank-2 Spiritual Wine could let their bodies and minds be intoxicated and circulate their vitality efficiently.


    ¡°That¡¯s because the ripened Spirit Rice retains some of the characteristics of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice. Besides, during the brewing process, with the help of Elder Sister Yan, we integrated the formula of the Hundred Herb Elixir and Restoring God Soup, and brewed it using medicinal wine techniques. Yet even so, out of 26 jars, only two were successful.¡±


    As Zhuo Ming said this, she took out another jar of Spiritual Wine from her storage bag. Although it also gave off a tempting aroma of wine when opened, it wasn¡¯t nearly as intoxicating as the one they were drinking.


    ¡°This one failed. Although it can be considered Rank-1 Spiritual Wine, it¡¯s completely useless for elder uncles.¡±


    E Yun and Yue Zutao filled a large bowl and took a sip. Although the taste was not bad, it was as Zhuo Ming said, of no use to them Foundation Establishment Cultivators.


    ¡°It¡¯s still considered a success. After all, for Qi Practitioners, this Spiritual Wine is definitely a great tonic.¡±


    Yan Jinye, who was sitting on the side, spoke up. Without her, a Foundation Establishment cultivator to help, it would have been basically impossible to brew Rank-2 Spiritual Wine.


    Therefore, to thank her, Chen Mobai gave her a Rank-2 Elixir formula, earning Xiao Nanshan the exclusive right to brew this Rank-2 Spiritual Wine.


    At this, Yan Jinye was extremely delighted. She even told Zhuo Ming privately that she should feel free to notify her if she encountered any problems while brewing new medicinal wines. As long as Yan was free, she would come to help.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, there¡¯s still one jar, so hurry up and open it.¡±


    Having understood the reasons, E Yun immediately turned his attention to the other jar of Rank-2 Spiritual Wine.


    ¡°Elder Brother, let¡¯s finish this jar first.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai patted the jug by his side that was almost half his height. With their drinking capacity, it would be good if they could finish half.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, I was reserved in drinking because the wine wasn¡¯t up to par. For this jar of wine, I could finish it on my own.¡±


    E Yun¡¯s words made Chen Mobai burst into laughter.


    ¡°If Elder Brother E can truly drink that much, I will gladly offer the other jar I have been saving.¡±


    ¡°Good. Add my portion, and I guarantee we will finish both jars today.¡±

 Chapter 383 - Chapter 383: Chapter 291: Rank-2 Spiritual Wine_3

    Chapter 383: Chapter 291: Rank-2 Spiritual Wine_3


    Suddenly, another familiar voice echoed in mid-air, and a green light flashed. Yuan Chiye, with a smile, stood atop the roof.


    ¡°Huh, have you caught a whiff? I thought you said you were in seclusion and won¡¯t have time?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked even more pleased upon seeing this old friend who had led him into Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°The Sect Leader summoned me, so I came out from seclusion. I just so happened to notice the Message Talisman you sent, isn¡¯t that a coincidence?¡±


    Yuan Chiye came down laughing and sat opposite to Chen Mobai. Liu Wenbo standing on the side immediately filled a bowl and served him.


    ¡°You, always there when good things are happening.¡±


    E Yun couldn¡¯t help but laugh upon seeing this.


    In the end, Chen Mobai managed to save another jug of his wine.


    Because E Yun and the others never had Rank-2 Spiritual Wine before, they didn¡¯t expect the alcohol content to be so strong. Halfway through, they all found it hard to keep up.


    Yan Jinye, being a woman with more delicate manners, left early.


    The other four, however, got utterly inebriated till dawn.


    Upon waking up, Chen Mobai filled a small jug for each of them to take away. E Yun and Yuan Chiye took theirs without hesitation, but Yue Zutao felt a bit embarrassed. He wanted to pay with a Spirit Stone, but felt it wasn¡¯t a suitable occasion.


    ¡°Brother Yue, just visit us more often in the future.¡±


    ¡°Absolutely! Chen Mobai, do drop by my place whenever you¡¯re free.¡±


    Their bond of friendship seemed to have taken its first step.


    After seeing his guests off, Chen Mobai was about to sit down for his practice, to dissolve the remaining alcohol in his body.


    Suddenly, he noticed Zhuo Ming sitting in the corner, her skin glowing red, her body emitting clouds of mystic energy, almost like an immortal from the clouds.


    Liu Wenbo was standing beside her, serving as her protector.


    Chen Mobai glanced over and immediately understood what was happening.


    Zhuo Ming had broken through to Qi Cultivation Level Seven.


    She was at the sixth level of the Eternal Life Scripture before she switched her Cultivation Technique. After joining Chen Mobai for over two years and practicing the Mother Earth Scripture, she finally overcame the bottleneck issue that had plagued her for a long time.


    It seemed that she had drunk half a glass of Rank-2 Spiritual Wine last night. Along with her already accumulated energies, it was naturally conducive to her breakthrough.


    ¡°Congratulations, junior sister.¡±


    After Zhuo Ming regained her senses, her flushed round face was filled with excitement. Liu Wenbo waved at her.


    ¡°Thank you, senior brother, for your protection, and thank you, master, for the wine.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought back and remembered that he did say something last night about letting both his disciples taste the wine.


    Liu Wenbo, being at Qi Cultivation Level Nine, could easily process it after meditating for several rounds.


    Zhuo Ming, on the other hand, managed to break through her bottleneck just by chance. You could only say she was well-prepared.


    ¡°Both of you should have a jug as well. During each practice, Ming, take a sip to aid your advancement.¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed at the jug filled with a quarter of the wine left and said this to his two disciples.


    Neither of them refused. Having experienced the potency of Rank-2 Spiritual Wine, they naturally knew it was superior to any Rank-1 elixir.


    ¡°Also, those failed batches of Rank-1 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine are just right for you two to consume in the long run. Take two jars each, and leave the rest for sale at the South Mountain Shop. It¡¯s about time we made our investment back.¡±


    Chen Mobai, having set his mind on becoming an inter-realm trader, established a talisman factory in the immortal realm and naturally, he should have some business on this side of the Tianhe Realm as well.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The South Mountain Shop, which he hadn¡¯t put much attention into before, was also about time he started doing business again.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    After his two disciples took their leave, Chen Mobai gave some guidance to his elder disciple Liu Wenbo, who was about to participate in the sect¡¯s grand tournament. There was hope this year that he could become a true disciple, so Chen appropriately imparted some Magic Duel experiences to him.


    Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t sign up before as she was only at Qi Cultivation Level Six and was busy with the harvesting of Spirit Rice in South Mountain at the end of the year.


    Although she had now broken through her confines, she also had little confidence in Magic Duel and didn¡¯t take Chen Mobai¡¯s words to heart. She was totally focused on expanding and strengthening the South Mountain Shop.

 Chapter 384 - Chapter 384: Chapter 292 Divine Wood Sect Changes_1

    Chapter 384: Chapter 292 Divine Wood Sect Changes_1


    After hosting a banquet for E Yun and others, Chen Mobai invited friends like Qi Rui, Xi Jinghuo, and Qi Hou within the sect the next day.


    After making each of them taste a cup of Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine, they all praised it effusively.


    Before departing, Chen Mobai instructed Zhuo Ming to gift each person a jar of Rank-1 wine.


    On the third day, Chen Mobai went to visit the three Foundation Establishment leaders of the Spirit Plant Department with the wine.


    Inspector Sun Gaochang, the senior leader, was given two jars, and although he wasn¡¯t familiar with the other minister and deputy minister, he personally gifted each of them a jar of Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine.


    ¡°Do you have more of this wine? I¡¯ll buy all of it,¡± he said.


    Sun Gaochang was a heavy drinker. After taking a sip, he couldn¡¯t stop and quickly finished a jar with Chen Mobai. After the drink was finished, he wanted more but still had some sense left. He saved the remaining jar and didn¡¯t open it.


    ¡°I have some more, but I haven¡¯t delivered any to the Sect Leader yet. I also need to ask a favor from Minister Zeng of the Alchemy Department, so I need to deliver two jars there as well.¡±


    Chen Mobai answered honestly, indicating that the Rank-2 Spiritual Wine could only be internally tasted at this time. Bigger production and selling would have to wait until the first batch of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice matures.


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    Sun Gaochang sighed, then immediately pre-paid a deposit of a thousand Spirit Stones and reserved a large barrel once he heard that Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine was well stocked.


    Chen Mobai accepted without hesitation, promising to have it delivered by his apprentices.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, you¡¯re still within our Spirit Plant Department¡¯s organization, right?¡±


    After the gifts had been delivered and Chen Mobai was about to say goodbye and leave, Sun Gaochang stopped him and spoke abruptly.


    ¡°Yes, I wouldn¡¯t have been so easily victorious in the sect competition if Inspector Sun hadn¡¯t given me the Divine Wood Sword. If I hadn¡¯t won, I probably wouldn¡¯t have received the Foundation Building Pill and might still be at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, waiting hard for the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms to mature.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand what Sun Gaochang meant, but being familiar with the superficial language from the time he spent every year living at his grandfather¡¯s house, he expressed the gratitude he owed the Spirit Plant Department.


    ¡°Well, Chen, you know, among the twelve departments in the sect, each only has a position for three Foundation Establishment cultivators. If we three won¡¯t leave, you¡¯re permanently stuck with the benefits of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Elder, haven¡¯t you thought about progressing further?¡±


    Sun Gaochang had also nurtured Chen Mobai and recognized his character, so he spoke frankly.


    ¡°Do you mean, Inspector, for me to leave the Spirit Plant Department?¡±


    ¡°Ah, not at all. I¡¯m suggesting you should be promoted. Chu Zuoshu, the Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall, looks highly on you. There would be some changes in the upper layer of the sect in a few years, some positions would be open and you can become an Inspection Envoy in the Reward Virtue Hall, and get promoted again when a position for Inspector in one of the twelve departments is open.¡±


    Sun Gaochang¡¯s words were intriguing. Changes were to happen in the upper levels of the sect? Chen Mobai exchanged a look with him and knew there would be no further explanation.


    Although Chen Mobai was nominally mentored by Sun Gaochang, they¡¯re, in fact, like water and gentlemen. Unlike the solid friendships with E Yun and Yuan Chiye which had started from nothing, Sun Gaochang had his own circle and was much older than Chen Mobai. Unless he completely committed to him, both of them would not be able to fully confide in each other.


    His sudden talk was not Sun Gaochang¡¯s idea. It should be that something was going to happen in the upper layers of the Divine Wood Sect, and someone wanted to involve him in the upfront battle power.


    The person was also hinted at by Sun Gaochang, the Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall, Chu Zuoshu.


    Among the three halls and twelve departments in the Divine Wood Sect, the Spirit Plant Department was under the Reward Virtue Hall.


    If Chu Zuoshu brings Chen Mobai up, it would conform to the rules, although Sun Gaochang had mentioned it first. The tactic was at least not offensive to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Thank you, Inspector Sun and Hall Master Chu for your kindness, I¡¯ll think about it carefully when I go back.¡±


    Chen Mobai dedicated himself to cultivation most of the time. He spent most of his time with the Divine Wood Sect in Xiao Nanshan, so he was confused about the upper situation and dared not hastily answer.


    ¡°Very well, Chen, don¡¯t forget my barrel of wine.¡±


    Sun Gaochang personally sent Chen Mobai out. With a wide smile on his plump face, the two of them seemed like true bosom friends in front of others.


    ¡°Surely.¡±


    After greeting his familiar friends in the Spirit Plant Department, Chen Mobai went to Shenmu Hall.


    Because E Yun had given Meng Hong a heads-up in advance, he didn¡¯t go fishing today and waited for Chen Mobai¡¯s visit.


    ¡°Hmm, this wine is good. Didn¡¯t you say you still have a barrel of it? Why did you only give me two jars?¡±

    Meng Hong was not shy about accepting the opened jar. After a sip, his face turned rosy, and his whole demeanor became radiated. He looked like he had even younger by two years.


    ¡°If the Sect Leader needs, I will dig out that barrel and have it delivered to you.¡±


    Chen Mobai still had a high regard for Meng Hong. After all, when he just established his Foundation, he gifted the Flying Sparrow Hairpin, Divine Wood Sword, and ten thousand Spirit Stones. He kept this kindness in his heart.


    ¡°Forget it, just saying. Just send over five jars.¡±


    Meng Hong shook his head, then motioned for Chen Mobai to leave. He was going fishing.

 Chapter 385 - Chapter 385: Chapter 292 Changes to Divine Wood Sect_2

    Chapter 385: Chapter 292 Changes to Divine Wood Sect_2


    ¡°Sect Leader, this is how it is¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai too, did not dare to waste Meng Hong¡¯s time and repeated what Sun Gaochang said to him. The man in front of him was the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, the top core player. He definitely understood the implications.


    Chen Mobai was still his disciple E Yun¡¯s man, asking him wouldn¡¯t be wrong.


    ¡°That Chu Zuoshu, he was suppressed by me for a lifetime, and now upon hearing that I am stepping down, he¡¯s getting impatient.¡±


    Meng Hong listened and chuckled helplessly.


    ¡°Oh, Sect Leader is stepping down?!¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard this, his face was shocked. Although he had heard about this matter a long time ago, he did not expect it to happen so quickly.


    E Yun, Zhou Wangshen, and others had only established their foundations a few years ago. If Meng Hong stepped down at this time, they were probably unable to take the position of Sect Leader due to their insufficient cultivation levels.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to be 180 years old soon, if I don¡¯t form a core, I guess there¡¯s no chance in this lifetime.¡±


    Meng Hong said regretfully about the reason.


    As long as anyone calculated his age, they could basically know this. For a Foundation Establishment cultivator to form a core, the best age naturally is before their lifespan is half over, that is, 120 years old.


    However, Meng Hong has practiced the Immortality Art, which has added 60 years to his lifespan, allowing him to survive until the age of 180.


    For this very reason, when he reached perfection in foundation establishment twenty years ago, many people had already thought of this.


    After all, compared to Core Formation, the position of Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect seemed too trivial.


    The other six major factions in the Eastern Wilderness were actually also paying attention to this matter.


    They originally thought that Meng Hong would immediately step down from the position of Sect Leader after reaching perfection in foundation establishment to prepare for Core Formation, but who knew that he still held on for another twenty years.


    ¡°I have already reported this matter to the two elders. I will officially step down in two years.¡±


    ¡°If nothing unexpected happens, Chu Zuoshu should take over. But he is also at foundation establishment perfection, he is Sect Leader only to get the Core Formation spiritual medicine. Once your group matures, he will step down to prepare for Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°However, his desire for power is stronger than mine. Among the next generation, Hong He and Yin Qingmei are Elder Fu¡¯s disciples, Zhou Wangshen and E Yun are my disciples, his direct disciple Yue Zutao wasted his potential after ingesting the divine tree fruit. Therefore, he probably intends to train you as the representative of his camp.¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised to hear this, he did not expect that Yue Zutao was Chu Zuoshu¡¯s disciple.


    After Meng Hong decided to retire and form the elixir, he let go and told Chen Mobai about the personnel relationships of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions.


    ¡°Your move to the Reward Virtue Hall is good, it just balances the power of the three main halls, which will prevent the Reward Virtue Hall from collapsing after Chu Zuoshu steps down.¡±


    With Meng Hong¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was reassured.


    After leaving Shenmu Hall, he went to the Alchemy Division next.


    Through Yan Jinye, he had already made an appointment with Zeng Woyou in advance, and the latter had even prepared dinner in advance.


    Chen Mobai brought two jars of Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine, although Zeng Woyou did not drink alcohol, he still praised this rank-2 spiritual wine that his own disciple improved.


    However, in the Tianhe realm, it¡¯s common to secure the best things for oneself first, so Zeng Woyou did not mention the recipe of this medicinal wine.


    ¡°Chief Zeng, this is the situation. I am practicing a Divine Consciousness technique that requires Bamboo Fruit as the main ingredient to concoct a type of elixir. The spiritual effectiveness of the three Bamboo Fruits last time was very good. I wonder if you could arrange to give me a few more.¡±


    After a satisfactory meal, Chen Mobai made his request.


    Both batches of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew made by Wang Xingyu at the end of last year have been used up this year. He could use academic points to exchange for Vermillion fruits, but Bamboo fruits are very rare in the immortal door, and purchasing it would require at least millions of Good Deed Points.


    Chen Mobai now had more Spirit Stones and fewer Good Deed Points, so he turned his attention to Tianhe Realm.


    Last time Zeng Woyou asked him to save Yan Jinye, it cost three Bamboo Fruits, Chen Mobai, with a try-it-out mentality, delivered two jars of wine.


    ¡°How many do you want?¡±


    ¡°Three per year.¡±


    With the improvement of his cultivation level, especially the progress of the Divine Manipulation Technique, Chen Mobai¡¯s demand for Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew is also increasing. However, three bamboo fruits would be enough for him.


    ¡°Only spiritual bamboo over 60 years old can produce bamboo fruits upon ripening. There are only 46 such bamboos left on Green Bamboo Mountain. I can only get six more bamboo fruits for you at most. Any more, and I, as the head of the Alchemy Division, would not be able to cover for it.¡±


    Zeng Woyou was telling the truth. He could use alchemy as an excuse to catalyze the Spiritual Bamboos into Bamboo Fruits, but there were limits to what he could do.


    After all, he was not the two old elders who could control and hide everything within the sect.


    ¡°I¡¯m extremely grateful, Elder Brother Zeng.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai was already very satisfied. At least he could ensure a supply of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew for the next two years.


    In two years, the sect leader position would change hands, and they would see how the situation evolves then.


    Anyway, he had his sights set on the forty Rank-2 Spiritual Bamboos on Green Bamboo Mountain.


    The next day, Yan Jinye personally visited and delivered a jade box.


    Inside were three freshly ripened bamboo fruits.


    Spiritual Medicines were most potent immediately after picking, so Chen Mobai didn¡¯t ask for all six fruits at once. He gave the one thousand spirit stones that Sun Gaochang had paid for the alcohol to Yan Jinye as payment for the bamboo fruits.


    After Yan Jinye sat for a while, E Yun and Yuan Chiye also came over.


    ¡°Then I will take my leave first.¡±


    Though Yan Jinye and Chen Mobai were close, he didn¡¯t want to label himself as part of E Yun¡¯s faction.


    ¡°Chen Junior Brother, do you want to go to the Reward Virtue Hall?¡±


    After the three of them were left alone, Yuan Chiye opened the conversation with this question. Chen Mobai had informed them of his plans through a Message Talisman and had summoned them to discuss it further.


    ¡°The sect leader thinks it¡¯s a good idea for me to go.¡±


    With these words, Chen Mobai hinted at his intention to go.


    ¡°Good, if Chen Junior Brother can take control of the Reward Virtue Hall in the future, I will have more clout in the Shenmu Hall.¡±


    After understanding his hint, E Yun didn¡¯t object but just nodded lightly.


    ¡°It¡¯s also good for Chu Zuoshu to take over as sect leader. Zhou Wangshen¡¯s Taoist body is likely to reach the first level of perfection after getting enough Tree Juice from the Divine Tree. By then, I¡¯m afraid only a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would be able to deal with him.¡±


    As soon as Yuan Chiye¡¯s words fell, E Yun gave him a displeased look. Zhou Wangshen could reach perfection with his Taoist Body because of the Divine Tree Juice that Yuan Chiye gave him.


    ¡°It¡¯s not my fault. The sect leader hinted that it would be better to focus on creating one complete long-lived Taoist Body rather than two half-power ones.¡±


    Yuan Chiye defended himself, and his every uttered word was the truth.


    The Divine Wood Sect still had some sense of unity. Zhou Wangshen got a Gourd full of Divine Tree Juice from the Divine Tree Secret Realm on his own, in addition to that from Yuan Chiye. Combined, it was just enough for one person to cultivate a Long-lived Taoist Body.


    As the sect leader, Meng Hong would naturally favor his disciple, Zhou Wangshen.


    As Yuan Chiye needed spirit stones, he just went along with it.


    E Yun could not blame him for this. After all, in his heart, he too agreed with Meng Hong¡¯s view. Although he had competition with Zhou Wangshen, he couldn¡¯t let their rivalry escalate to the point of internal strife.


    ¡°What did the sect leader call you out for this time?¡±


    After discussing the matter of Chen Mobai going to the Reward Virtue Hall to become an Inspection Envoy, the topic turned back to Yuan Chiye. He had planned to seclude himself for ten or eight years after selling the Divine Tree Juice out of guilt towards E Yun. However, he was summoned by the sect leader after just over a year.


    ¡°There has been some trouble with the Spirit Stone Mine in Lei Nation. There¡¯s a deficit of eight thousand spirit stones, and I need to go investigate.¡±


    ¡°Eight thousand spirit stones? I recall that mine only produces about twenty thousand spirit stones a year. With such a large deficit, could it be that the local immortal cultivating families are colluding to deceive us, the Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    Upon hearing this, E Yun sensed where the problem lay.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°This is the reason why I was sent to investigate. The report submitted by Elder Brother Luo is somewhat vague. There¡¯s a possibility that he might have been bribed. That¡¯s why my movements this time may need to be discreet.¡±


    Upon hearing Yuan Chiye¡¯s words, Chen Mobai remembered another matter.


    Last year, Luo Yixuan, who he had an eye on, he wondered if she could become a true disciple in this year¡¯s sect-wide competition.


    Although she had been concealing her brilliance, allowing Luo Yixiu to stand out, Chen Mobai spotted that her talent and realm were above Luo Yixiu¡¯s.


    Among those who joined the Divine Wood Sect at the same time, Luo Yixuan was second only to himself, comparable to Yulian Cha.

 Chapter 386 - Chapter 386: Chapter 293 Human Sentiments _1

    Chapter 386: Chapter 293 Human Sentiments _1


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Isn¡¯t Lei Nation Zhou Wangshen¡¯s territory?¡±


    Yuan Chiye: ¡°He was taken by Zhou Laozu. The Sect Leader can¡¯t just go to Divine Wood and ask Zhou Laozu for him.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly stunned.


    If that was the case, then Meng Hong stepping down early was actually a good thing. With Zhou Wangshen¡¯s background and talents, if he cultivated the Taoist Body of Eternal Life, indeed no one in the sect could compete with him for the position of Sect Leader.


    Now, thanks to Chu Zuoshu acting as a buffer, Chen Mobai might even have a chance in a few decades.


    E Yun: ¡°When are we leaving?¡±


    Yuan Chiye: ¡°I was initially thinking of leaving after the grand sect competition, but last night the sect leader had the witchcraft division send over related documents. He probably wants me to set off as soon as possible.¡±


    Hearing this, E Yun and Chen Mobai furrowed their brows. The two looked at each other and sensed something was off.


    E Yun: ¡°Junior Brother Yuan, this matter might be suspicious, so be careful.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°The Sect Leader is not such an impatient person.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yuan Chiye nodded slightly. He had already felt that there was something wrong, and now after hearing the two¡¯s words, it confirmed his suspicions.


    E Yun: ¡°If I remember correctly, Brother Luo should be returning to the sect this year after his tenure as a town guard.¡±


    Under the Divine Wood Sect, they command four countries. Every ten years, a Foundation Establishment cultivator is dispatched to guard the territories. This is considered one of the tasks within the sect that is not given much attention. While it provides a significant amount of contribution points and Spirit Stones, there is no place as abundant in spiritual energy as Giant Tree Ridge for cultivation.


    However, precisely because not many people are willing to go but cannot be left unattended, the Divine Wood Sect has a rule.


    Every Foundation Establishment cultivator who wishes to hold a key position among the three Halls and twelve divisions within the sect must have the experience of guarding the four countries.


    After Shan Hongyi returned to the sect, E Yun had already taken over the position of town guard of Yun Country.


    Yun Country borders Yun Meng Ze, and he spends a lot of his time supervising the development of the number one spiritual realm in Eastern Wilderness. As long as he doesn¡¯t encounter a catastrophic loss due to a beast tide, E Yun could greatly increase his strength, influence, and even Spirit Stones after saving up for ten years.


    By the time his duty as the town guard ends and he returns to the sect, E Yun can use these ten years¡¯ savings to attempt to break through to the middle Foundation Establishment stage.


    If he succeeded, he would be in contention for the position of Sect Leader. If not, he might at most end up as one of the heads of the twelve divisions or vice hall master of one of the three main halls.


    Before Meng Hong stepped down, he had at least arranged a path of ascension for his disciples.


    Lei Nation also borders Yun Meng Ze and was assigned to Zhou Wangshen. Last year, a Spirit Stone Mine was discovered. Before Luo Shupin¡¯s tenure as town guard ended, Zhou Wangshen was already eagerly going there to negotiate with the local Immortal Cultivation families and establish his presence.


    ¡°About the deficit in Spirit Stones, Brother Luo definitely knows the inside story. The reason he did not reveal it to the Sect can only mean one of two things, either the higher-ups are suppressing it, or he has encountered a problem in Lei Country.¡±


    Yuan Chiye was not entirely without preparation. After receiving the Sect Leader¡¯s order, he had already begun investigating related people and affairs.


    ¡°You mean¡­ betrayal.¡±


    E Yun directly mentioned that term, while Chen Mobai remained silent after hearing it.


    ¡°Or he could have been controlled by opposing forces. After all, Brother Luo is only in the early Foundation Establishment stage.¡±


    Yuan Chiye, however, was not in a position to make such a judgement, and his comments were more discreet.


    Either way, Luo Shupin, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s town guard of Lei Nation, had most definitely run into issues regarding the Spirit Stone deficit.


    ¡°Brother Luo comes from a cultivation family in Yun Country, which is just under my command. After the grand sect competition, I plan to visit the Luo family to probe for any information.¡± E Yun broke the silence, however, he seemed to suddenly recall something, turning to Chen Mobai, ¡°In recent years, due to Brother Luo, the Luo family has sent quite a few people to the sect. At least two who tested with Chen Junior Brother back then have shown good promise.¡±


    When the Divine Wood Sect was conducting Spiritual Realm testing in Yun Country, although E Yun did not show his face and Yuan Chiye was in charge, E Yun was observing behind the scenes and remembered a few individuals with extraordinary Spiritual Roots.


    This was precisely why E Yun was able to rush to the scene when Chen Mobai was being robbed by South Mountain Thieves.


    ¡°The Luo siblings, they reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation last year. Luo Yixiu has a deep pool of spiritual power, and his spells are well-practiced. If he hadn¡¯t met a True Inheritor, he might have been considered for the twenty-four sequence, while Luo Yixuan is slightly inferior.¡±


    Yuan Chiye was well-informed and began to explain all this in detail as soon as E Yun asked. Before Chen Mobai could say anything, Yuan Chiye had already explained everything.


    ¡°After the grand sect competition, you, using my token, invite them to drink tea in my courtyard.¡±


    E Yun nodded his head and instructed Yuan Chiye.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai remained unmoved and did not say anything.


    ¡°By the way, Brother E Yun, you obtained a demonic beast inner core last year in Yun Meng Ze. Does it represent that our sect is preparing to cast the demonic beast Foundation Building Pill once again?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai asked about another matter. Last year, the Divine Wood Sect reaped massive rewards in Yun Meng Ze, particularly when E Yun and Hong He, two Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators, jointly hunted down a Rank-2 Peak Pig Baolong.


    ¡°Indeed, the Sect Leader has already ordered the head of the alchemy division to put aside other alchemy duties and fully concentrate on casting Foundation Building Pills.¡±


    ¡°It seems, the Sect Leader wants to pave the way for your Junior Brother Mu Yuan before stepping down.¡±


    Yuan Chiye said teasingly.


    After Chen Mobai reached Foundation Establishment, Mu Yuan had been holding the top position among the True Inheritors for three consecutive years.

 Chapter 387 - Chapter 387: Chapter 293 Human Sentiments_2

    Chapter 387: Chapter 293 Human Sentiments_2


    A Beast Foundation Building Pill was completed; regardless of how many pills were made, Mu Yuan would certainly have one.


    In response to this, E Yun just gave a faint smile without expressing any opinion.


    The three went on to discuss how the situation would change after Meng Hong¡¯s abdication until it was getting dark. Liu Wenbo returned from participating in the Sect Competition, and then E Yun and Yuan Chiye took their leave.


    ¡°Master, did elder brother easily achieve victory today?¡±


    Zhuo Ming contributed eagerly to Liu Wenbo¡¯s victory report. The siblings had set out early in the morning. Even though she did not participate, she got a great joy out of watching Magic Duels.


    ¡°Good, be sure to remind me to watch before the True Disciple stage.¡±


    Chen Mobai was interested in watching the Sect Competition in the two years just after his Foundation Establishment. But now, the level of the Qi Cultivation disciples¡¯ Magic Duels, can no longer attract him.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the critical True Disciple stage and his own disciples and several friends participating, Chen Mobai probably wouldn¡¯t even go watch the last few rounds of battles among True Disciples.


    ¡°Master, are you going out this late?¡±


    Zhuo Ming was about to prepare some Spirit Delicacies and warm a pot of wine when she saw Chen Mobai heading towards the door.


    ¡°I have an old friend to meet.¡±


    Chen Mobai sent out a Message Talisman before leaving. Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t dare to ask whom he was going to see, they just watched him leave.


    About an hour later.


    On a slope outside Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai stood there basking in the fresh wind, utterly at ease.


    He saw a stern young man dressed in black clothes flying over from a distance, and in no time at all, he was at the bottom of the slope. After seeing Chen Mobai, he sprung up and landed right next to him.


    ¡°Chen Uncle, why did you call me out so late? Is there something important?¡±


    Yu Lian asked with a puzzled look.


    This being within the Divine Wood Sect, if it was anywhere outside Giant Tree Ridge, he would not have come alone.


    ¡°With your talent and Cultivation Level, becoming a True Disciple should be as easy as lifting your hand.¡±


    Chen Mobai asked a question to which Yu Lian was puzzled, as they both had a brief conversation last time.


    ¡°Becoming a True Disciple is for obtaining the Foundation Building Pill, and the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom will mature in four years. If I become a True Disciple before then, it would only expose my spells and Magic Artifacts, which I do not want to.¡±


    Yu Lian provided a reasoning consistent with Chen Mobai¡¯s understanding.


    Indeed, although becoming a True Disciple would bring more Spirit Stone salaries each year, and decent Spiritual Land for cultivation.


    But for Yu Lian, who was already under the tutelage of Shan Hongyi, practicing Qi Cultivation in a Rank-3 Spirit Vein land, and already possessed plentiful Spirit Stone savings before joining the Divine Wood Sect, these benefits didn¡¯t matter much.


    What could truly attract him to become a True Disciple was just the Foundation Building Pill.


    In order to ensure a moment of glory in the Sect Competition when the Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms mature, also the most heated competition year, it is indeed best to remain unmoved as a mountain now.


    ¡°What if I said that the Sect is already preparing to refine a batch of Foundation Building Pills.¡±


    Chen Mobai stated a sentence that made Yu Lian¡¯s eyes widen.


    ¡°Is this true.¡±


    Without Chen Mobai reminding him, Yu Lian already thought of the Beast Foundation Building Pill. After all, the most dazzling Chief for the past century in the Divine Wood Sect accomplished his Foundation Establishment this way.


    This successful example has caused other True Disciple who originally doubted the Beast Foundation Building Pill to lump it in with the orthodox Foundation Building Pill in their minds.


    If he had the opportunity to obtain a Beast Foundation Building Pill, Yu Lian felt that there was no need to hide anymore.


    ¡°Unfortunately, the Sect Competition has already begun this year and you didn¡¯t sign up.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head and sighed again.


    ¡°After the True Disciples are determined, the disciples who did not register have the right to challenge the twenty-four True Disciples.¡±


    Yu Lian spoke coldly. Although he wasn¡¯t interested in True Disciples, he was very aware of the rules of the Sect.


    ¡°But True Disciples also have the right to refuse a challenge.¡±


    Chen Mobai countered, after all, even True Disciples could get hurt in the Sect Competition. To prevent others from taking advantage of their weakness, the Divine Wood Sect had given True Disciples the power to refuse a challenge.


    ¡°I will challenge those True Disciples who won easily and are in good condition. If they don¡¯t want to be laughed at by the Sect¡¯s people, they will surely accept.¡±


    Yu Lian had already figured out his plan upon hearing about the Beast Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°Hmm, a Beast Foundation Building Pill can yield only two or three pills per batch. If you want to compete for it, you¡¯ll have to work hard.¡±


    Having said this, Chen Mobai left with a smile.


    ¡°Why has Uncle Master Chen told me about this?¡±


    Yu Lian immediately asked. Although he was somewhat of a fellow townsman with Chen Mobai, they never had any interaction during their time in the Bud Hall. Their only exchange had been when buying Red Sun Wood for firewood and Chen Mobai¡¯s attitude had been quite aloof.


    As a Loose Cultivator who had already experienced plenty of bloodshed before joining the sect, the unexpected cordiality from Chen Mobai made him somewhat uneasy.


    ¡°I¡¯m a person who values the camaraderie of our hometown greatly. You have potential, so I thought I¡¯d share this with you.¡±


    ¡°If Uncle Master Chen needs anything in the future, as long as it is within my capabilities, I will not refuse?¡±


    Facing a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Yu Lian could only make such a promise.


    ¡°We¡¯ll discuss that when you achieve Foundation Establishment.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke these words, he had already stepped onto a cloud of smoke and mist, flying away from this hillside.


    Seeing this, Yu Lian clenched his fists tightly.


    Foundation Establishment, he must achieve Foundation Establishment.


    Only by achieving Foundation Establishment could he avenge the annihilation of his sect.


    The sect¡¯s grand competition soon reached the crucial battle to become a True Disciple.


    On the dueling platform, Luo Yixiu, with an arrogant expression, defeated a True Disciple from last year and proudly displayed his ¡°mighty¡± cultivation level.


    While in the tea house next door, in one of the elegant rooms on the second floor.


    Dressed in a white palace costume, with a scholarly demeanor and fair skin, Luo Yixuan knelt in front of two Foundation Establishment elders of the sect, a look of anxiety on her face.


    ¡°To avoid affecting your mood during the sect¡¯s grand competition, we didn¡¯t inform you and your brother in time. Now that you¡¯ve been eliminated this round, we thought it was a good time to tell you about it.¡±


    Across from Luo Yixuan, Yuan Chiye sipped his tea, informing her about the incident at the Spirit Stone Mine in Lei Nation and the possible mishap involving Luo Shupin.


    ¡°Please see reason, our great-uncle would never betray the sect.¡±


    All Luo Yixuan could say was this. The Luo family¡¯s foundation in the Yun Country was solidified not only by their patriarch who had achieved Foundation Establishment, but also by Luo Shupin in the Divine Wood Sect.


    Anyway, once the crime of betrayal was confirmed, not only the Luo family disciples in the Divine Wood Sect, but all of the Luo family in Yun Country could be implicated.


    After all, the large sects in the Eastern Wilderness, despite the decades of peace, all had bloody pasts to their beginnings. The methods to extinguish cultivating families and minor sects were numerous.


    ¡°It¡¯s because we trust Senior Disciple Luo that the sect wants to send someone to investigate the truth.¡±


    After Yu Chiye uttered these words, he took out a letter from E Yun and handed it over to Luo Yixuan.


    ¡°After the grand sect competition, Senior Disciple E would like to invite you and your brother over for tea. Expect you to relay everything you¡¯ve seen and heard in Lei Nation during these past few years without omitting any details. We are informing you in advance so you can recount everything accurately when the time comes.¡±


    After saying this, Yu Chiye waved his hand, indicating that Luo Yixuan could leave.


    Chen Mobai had been sitting on the side drinking tea, silent throughout the entire conversation.


    Before she left, Luo Yixuan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but eventually bowed her head and withdrew due to the silent pressure from the two Foundation Establishment elders.


    ¡°Oh, Luo Yixiu has become a True Disciple.¡±


    At this moment, Yuan Chiye opened the window and saw Luo Yixiu stepping down from the dueling platform.


    ¡°Among our generation, his talent could be ranked within the top five. He deserves such an achievement.¡±


    Chen Mobai uttered a sentence that confused Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°Top five? He¡¯s the second to become a True Disciple after you. How did you calculate this top five?¡±


    When faced with Yuan Chiye¡¯s doubts, Chen Mobai pointed to himself.


    He was ranked first, an assertion Yuan Chiye had no objections to.


    ¡°Yu Lian, Luo Yixuan, my disciple, then Luo Yixiu ¡ª he is fifth.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I can accept Yu Lian, but didn¡¯t Luo Yixuan get eliminated before him?¡±


    Yuan Chiye remained confused.


    ¡°She has cultivated a peculiar technique that conceals her cultivation level and Divine Sense, but it couldn¡¯t fool my eyes.¡±


    Chen Mobai gently began to speak.


    After hearing these words, Yuan Chiye looked surprised. He stared at Luo Yixuan, who had just left the tea house, and approached the smug-looking Luo Yixiu. With the reminder from Chen Mobai, he observed more carefully and as a cultivator who had achieved Foundation Establishment, he indeed noticed something.

 Chapter 388 - Chapter 388: Chapter 294 Comments_1

    Chapter 388: Chapter 294 Comments_1


    In the Tianhe Realm, due to the unique environment, many Qi Practitioners love to conceal their true cultivation levels to confuse potential enemies and flip the table at critical moments.


    Even when Yuan Chiye was training his Qi, he had made use of such mechanisms to hide his true cultivation level.


    He hadn¡¯t paid much attention before, but now, with the keen sight of the Foundation Building Realm and past experience, he unhesitatingly discovered the fact that Luo Yixuan had hidden part of her cultivation level.


    To the eye, it seemed as though she had recently entered the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, but in truth, she was almost at Qi Cultivation Perfection, at par with the senior disciples of true lineage.


    If she had a Rank-2 magic artifact and didn¡¯t conceal her abilities, she would likely not defeat the true disciples handpicked by the twelve department heads of the three halls. However, there wouldn¡¯t be a problem for her to rank within the top twenty-four.


    ¡°What is she trying to achieve with this?¡±


    Yuan Chiye scratched his chin, commenting curiously.


    The Luo Family is a practitioner¡¯s family in Yun Country, and she has the backup of Luo Shupin, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, in the Divine Wood Sect. Typically, only those without backing in the Tianhe Realm will practice such techniques to hide their cultivation levels.


    ¡°Perhaps, she doesn¡¯t want to overshadow Luo Yixiu.¡±


    Chen Mobai made a casual guess, but the real reason could only be known by understanding the Luo family¡¯s intentions in Yun Country or hearing from Luo Yixuan herself.


    ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s not important. The key point now is the situation with Lei Nation. I wonder if Luo Shupin is alive or dead?¡±


    Before the end of the year, the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect delivering the spirit stones found a discrepancy in the amount. After a count, nearly eight hundred spirit stones were missing.


    Since the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s disciples had personally received the bag from Luo Shupin, they should have counted it then. But the disciple was hesitant to count in front of the master cultivator and trusted Luo Shupin¡¯s character, so he filled in the reported amount in the handover document.


    Upon discovering the discrepancy, the Reward Virtue Hall naturally wanted to investigate.


    Generally, for assignments requiring foundation establishment cultivators, the Divine Wood Sect would assign two or three people to ensure full clarity about the truth of the situation.


    The case of missing spirit stones from Lei Nation¡¯s mine, in theory, should have been led by Zhou Wangshen, with one person from each the Reward Virtue Hall and Penalty Evil Hall.


    Like Chen Mobai, Yuan Chiye was once a chief of the Formation Division. After establishing his foundation and finding no available position, he stayed in the Formation Division as a wandering elder.


    While the Penalty Evil Hall did invite him over as an inspector, Yuan Chiye wasn¡¯t interested. He wanted to join Shenmu Hall and help E Yun, who lacked support.


    However, due to big plans, the Reward Virtue Hall didn¡¯t send anyone to do the task and had the Shenmu Hall arrange for it.


    Not surprisingly, a mere loss of eight hundred spirit stones was insignificant to the Reward Virtue Hall.


    After Meng Hong reviewed the files of the Lei Nation spirit stone mine, he found that Yuan Chiye had participated in it. So it was decided, at the time when Zhou Wangshen couldn¡¯t intervene, Yuan Chiye was the only choice.


    So, the secluded Yuan Chiye was called over to represent Shenmu Hall, fully responsible for handling this situation.


    Perhaps the Sect Leader made a promise, if this matter is handled well, he will let him into Shenmu Hall.


    Hence, Yuan Chiye poured his heart and soul into this.


    ¡°Who was dispatched by the Penalty Evil Hall?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked this key question after hearing the story.


    ¡°I am not sure, the tasks of the three halls are generally carried out separately, and the final truth and results are concluded by comparing the reports of the three people¡¯s archives by the sect.¡±


    The system of the Divine Wood Sect was quite interesting, but if the matter were to be investigated, it would not be possible to keep it under wraps.


    After all, there are only so many cultivators who have established foundations within the sect, just by looking at who is not in their usual place, basic deduction can guess who took the task.


    ¡°Right, you are going to take up your post in the Reward Virtue Hall, right? Why don¡¯t you inform Chu Zuoshu, come with me to Lei Nation and investigate this matter.¡±


    Yuan Chiye suddenly suggested something, but Chen Mobai had an instinctive reluctance to travel.


    What he liked best was to stay peaceful in his small piece of land, farming, cultivating, practicing techniques, and experiencing the slow rate of improvement and evolution.


    But since Yuan Chiye said so, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t refuse.


    ¡°I can report to Reward Virtue Hall only after the end of the year, but I can pay a visit to Master Chu and see if I can get the appointment letter in advance, and go with you to Lei Nation.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no hurry, I estimate the investigation will take several months. It¡¯d be best if we can get approval from Master Chu, but if not, it doesn¡¯t matter. Though I¡¯m average at magic duels, my survival skills are top-notch.¡±


    Yuan Chiye said with a smile, to which Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.


    Later on, the two of them saw the twenty-four true disciples of this year advancing one after another on the second floor.


    Mu Yuan remained dominant, unbeatable.

    Next were familiar faces like Feng Hongxue, Li Yixian, Ding Ying, Guo Sheng, as well as new faces making a name for themselves.


    For example, Luo Yixiu, Lian Maozhi, Jiang Zongheng, Gu Yan, and others.


    ¡°Your batch finally started to grow.¡±


    Seeing this scene, Yuan Chiye commented with a sigh.


    Six years ago, when E Yun and Zhou Wangshen were assigned the task of guiding the spirits and recruiting new disciples, the Yun Country batch attracted attention due to the emergence of Chen Mobai, a rare sword cultivation genius, thus believed to be the most gifted batch.

 Chapter 389 - Chapter 389: Chapter 294 Review_2

    Chapter 389: Chapter 294 Review_2


    However, among the group of new disciples from the Rain Country, Jian Country, and Lei Nation, there are quite a few astoundingly talented individuals.


    Lian Maozhi from Lei Nation, Gu Yan from Rain Country, and Jiang Zongheng from Jian Country have already become true disciples last year.


    It should be known that they managed to secure their position among the twenty-four ranks in spite of the absence of Rank-2 magic artifacts and against the competition of fifteen contenders from the three halls and twelve divisions, demonstrating their talent and proficiency in magical duels.


    ¡°This year Luo Yixiu has been added, and these four are likely to be considered as the leading candidates for the next generation of true disciples.¡±


    Yuan Chiye implied as he spoke, and currently, a magic duel that was extremely crucial for Chen Mobai was taking place on the fighting stage.


    One of the participants was Liu Wenbo, and his opponent was a true disciple from the Body Forging division.


    Though Liu Wenbo tried hard, his opponent was stronger; they managed to knock Liu Wenbo off the stage with relative ease, without even using a Rank-2 magic artifact.


    ¡°Truly, the reputation of Yun Country¡¯s immortal cultivation world still has to rely on me.¡±


    Beneath the stage, Luo Yixiu, who was waiting for the results of the bout, saw Liu Wenbo knocked off the stage and squinted his eyes as he spoke with a smile to his sister, Luo Yixuan, who was walking over.


    ¡°Big Brother is like a fallen heavenly immortal. Only you can inherit Master Chen¡¯s reputation.¡±


    Luo Yixuan knew that two elder cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage were watching them from above, so her words were somewhat more respectful than usual, but Luo Yixiu showed displeasure after hearing her words.


    ¡°If I had received a Foundation Building Pill, I would have reached the Foundation Establishment stage two years ago. I am myself, I don¡¯t need to inherit anyone¡¯s reputation.¡±


    Hearing this, Luo Yixuan could only lower her head and give a bitter smile, not daring to say more, so as to not irritate her proud and conceited older brother even further.¡±


    ¡°Wen Bo, after I become a true disciple, I want to gather the Qi Cultivation disciples from the Yun Country within the sect. If you are willing to be my assistant, after my Foundation Establishment, I will give you my position as the true disciple.¡±


    But contrary to her expectation, Luo Yixiu took the initiative to approach Liu Wenbo instead.


    Seeing Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming standing together, their faces filled with confidence and pride, it seemed as if they did not put any true disciple in their eyes.


    ¡°Frogs at the bottom of the well.¡±


    At this, Liu Wenbo only spoke four words, then turned around to leave with Zhuo Ming¡¯s assistance.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    Luo Yixiu, who had never been treated this way, had a flash of anger in his eyes, but he was rational enough to know that while Liu Wenbo was ordinary, he had at least three Foundation Establishment cultivators from Yun Country behind him, so he could only swallow his anger.


    ¡°Hmph, when I become the sect leader, I¡¯ll make him realize that he missed out on an opportunity to ascend to the heavens in a single bound.¡±


    Hearing her brother¡¯s words, Luo Yixuan¡¯s beautiful eyes filled with even more anxiety. She glanced surreptitiously at a window on the second floor from the corner of her eyes, but Luo Yixiu did not notice this at all, as he was already thinking about his opponent in the next round.


    Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye, naturally, saw all this.


    ¡°This chap¡¯s attitude will cause him a great deal of trouble in the future. However, your disciple¡¯s spiritual root and talent seem to be inferior to his, you might want to revise your ranking a bit.¡±


    Yuan Chiye sharply critiqued Luo Yixiu, but he did recognize the latter¡¯s talent and naturally shifted the topic to Chen Mobai¡¯s previous comments.


    ¡°I was speaking about my little disciple.¡±


    Chen Mobai gestured to Zhuo Ming, who was helping the injured Liu Wenbo. Upon hearing this, Yuan Chiye¡¯s eyes widened, he looked at Zhuo Ming, but he couldn¡¯t see anything extraordinary in her.


    ¡°Let¡¯s see again in ten or twenty years, and see if my judgement today holds up.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai was not a professional educator, he had undergone nine years of mandatory education and had studied for six years in the top Daoist academy. He believed that his methods of teaching disciples were far superior to anyone else¡¯s in the Tianhe Realm.


    Zhuo Ming had a weak foundation and had chosen the wrong cultivation technique, which delayed her for twenty years and made her seem average and ordinary.


    But under Chen Mobai¡¯s tailored guidance, along with her own hard work and the appreciation for this rare opportunity, diligently farming and practicing the Earth Mother Cultivation, the hopes for her to reach Foundation Establishment stage in the future might even surpass Liu Wenbo¡¯s.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s bet a jar of wine. However, this year¡¯s true disciples are still the old faces. If you were to bestow a powerful Rank-2 magic artifact, your disciple might also become a true disciple.¡±


    ¡°Even if she enters the top twenty-four true disciples this year, how does it matter? There are many big fish lurking beneath the surface. If you don¡¯t believe me, just wait until the round before the Foundation Building Pill is perfected. By then, a Rank-2 magic artifact could be the standard.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai felt regret about Liu Wenbo¡¯s defeat, it was only normal for his main disciple, Liu Wenbo, who had only recently reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and whose spiritual power and spell control were far from perfect, to lose. It was essential that he practiced diligently over the next four years.


    ¡°To strike iron, one must be strong himself. Currently, due to the lack of Foundation Building Pills, many people are not interested in the position of a true disciple.


    But after four years, those at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation who have prospects to become true disciples will borrow a Rank-2 magic artifact as a last resort, even if it means getting into debt.


    ¡°There will be Foundation Building Pills next year too, but not many people seem to have gotten that news,¡±


    Yuan Chiye looked at the familiar twenty-four true disciples, and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, feeling dispirited and ready to leave.


    ¡°I informed someone, perhaps there will be a good show.¡±


    Chen Mobai told Yuan Chiye about his notifying Yu Lian, the latter¡¯s eyes lit up immediately.


    ¡°This kid Yu Lian, when he joined the sect, he seemed to have already broken through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation. However, after he became a disciple under Elder Shan, he has been diligently cultivating, even more indifferent to fame and fortune than you. If he¡¯s willing to make a move, there might be a good show this year.¡±


    Right after the last true disciple was confirmed, an elder who was presiding over the sect¡¯s competition was about to announce to resume the fight tomorrow when Yu Lian jumped out.


    ¡°I want to challenge a true disciple.¡±


    When he landed on the stage, he did not conceal his cultivation level. The fluctuation of spiritual power of complete ninth level Qi Cultivation caused all remaining disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, numbering in the thousands, to look at him.


    ¡°Who do you want to challenge?¡±


    The presiding elder, after confirming that Yu Lian had not registered this year, nodded and asked.


    ¡°Him.¡±


    Without any hesitation, Yu Lian pointed at Luo Yixiu, who was sitting below the stage watching the show.


    ¡°Me?¡±


    Luo Yixiu opened his eyes wide, incredulously pointed at himself, then a surge of anger rushed to his heart. Before the elder could ask him if he was willing to accept the challenge, he immediately guided a flying sword onto the stage.


    ¡°Yu Lian, you came at just the right time. Since we were in Bud Hall, I¡¯ve had my eyes on you. If it weren¡¯t for the rules that new disciples can¡¯t duel, I would have shown everyone that I¡¯m the rightful first place in our batch.¡±


    Luo Yixiu¡¯s attitude left the elder presiding over the sect competition speechless. Following the sect¡¯s rules, he asked again.


    ¡°Are you willing to accept his challenge? You have the right to refuse.¡±


    ¡°I accept. I want him to know that he¡¯s picked the most impossible opponent to defeat.¡±


    In Luo Yixiu¡¯s cold smile, he held another defensive magic weapon in his hand. He also had a Rank-2 treasure given by his family to ensure his position as a true disciple.


    However, he felt that, to deal with Yu Lian, two Rank-1 magic artifacts would be enough.


    ¡°Then let it begin.¡±


    After the elder announced, he flew down from the stage. At the same time, a gleam of light shone in Yu Lian¡¯s eyes. He then drew a sharp long knife with a silver glow from his sleeve.


    The dazzling light of the blade seemed like a surging sea of snow, covering half of the stage in an instant.


    This long knife was actually a Rank-2 magic artifact.


    Yu Lian didn¡¯t hold anything back with his first move. His years of life and death battles made him understand the importance of taking the initiative.


    In just an instant, Luo Yixiu wore a shocked face and hastily brought out his secondary Rank-2 magic artifact. The artifact was a bowl, a defensive weapon.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But due to inadequate preparation, the bowl hadn¡¯t absorbed enough spiritual power and the defensive aura failed to function. The moment it made contact, it was knocked away by the silver long knife.


    Fortunately, Yu Lian knew that he was currently a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect. When his knife reached Luo Yixiu¡¯s neck, he reversed the knife and knocked Luo Yixiu¡¯s chest with the back of the knife.


    Even so, the chilling knife aura invaded his body, causing Luo Yixiu to spit out blood while he was knocked off the stage.


    ¡°If he calls himself second rank, I would agree.¡±


    Seeing this scene, Yuan Chiye nodded, acknowledging Chen Mobai¡¯s previous assessment.

 Chapter 390 - Chapter 390: Chapter 295 Silver Sky Sect_1

    Chapter 390: Chapter 295 Silver Sky Sect_1


    The sect¡¯s grand competition ended with an unexpected outcome.


    Although Mu Yuan still ranked first with his profound base in the Immortal Life Scripture, the Rank-2 Green Sun Tree Seed in his hand, and his Rank-2 Magic Artifact. He was still able to withstand a few moves even when faced with cultivators in the state of Foundation Establishment.


    But the second place was surprisingly taken by the suddenly appeared Yu Lian.


    If it wasn¡¯t for him becoming a True Disciple through challenges, and being targeted by all during the last few rounds, with almost all of his cultivation technique cards exposed by the time he entered the finals, perhaps Mu Yuan would have had a fierce fight with him.


    Nonetheless, Yu Lian becoming the second True Disciple still caused a huge sensation within the Divine Wood Sect.


    As the stepping stone of Yu Lian¡¯s rise, Luo Yixiu was secretly complained about by quite a few True Disciples.


    If he had refused Yu Lian¡¯s challenge in the first place, the latter wouldn¡¯t have been able to become a True Disciple due to not having signed up, and all these troubles wouldn¡¯t have occurred.


    While the grand competition was progressing to the last two rounds, the news that the Alchemy division was preparing to refine a furnace of a Demonic Beast Foundation Building Pill was finally spread and was known to all the True Disciples.


    Following Chen Mobai, Mu Yuan, who had held the first position among True Disciples for three consecutive years, would undoubtedly receive one.


    According to the pill formation rate of Zeng Woyou three years ago, there would be at least two pills.


    The second Yu Lian, instantly became the object of all True Disciples¡¯ jealousy.


    The two True Disciples who ranked third and fourth found their respective department heads in a bid to invalidate this year¡¯s performance of Yu Lian.


    Despite knowing that such an act would lead to them being ridiculed by other True Disciples and even all the Qi Cultivation disciples, in the face of the Foundation Building Pill, they had no other choice than to abandon any notion of shame.


    After all, the good example of Chen Mobai suppressing the entire sect¡¯s three thousand Qi Cultivators with one sword strike three years ago, obtaining the Demonic Beast Foundation Establishment Pill, and then catapulting overnight to become the sect¡¯s youngest Foundation Establishment elder was right in front of their eyes.


    As long as they could drive Yu Lian away, they would have the hope of obtaining the Foundation Building Pill.


    When the department heads of the Puppet division and the Artifact Refining division came to meet him, Sect Leader Meng Hong naturally showed a bit of interest. Once he learned about the whole story, he also became a bit curious. He let his subordinates from the Witchcraft division and the Technique Transmission division investigate Yu Lian¡¯s background.


    Upon investigation, they found some surprises.


    Thus, on the second day of the sect¡¯s grand competition, Meng Hong convened the upper echelons of the Reward Virtue Hall and Punishment Hall to discuss, and finally decided to temporarily freeze Yu Lian¡¯s second place results.


    The news reached Chen Mobai, surprising him.


    ¡°Oh, why would the Sect Leader do that?¡±


    Chen Mobai was in the Reward Virtue Hall. He was led by Sun Gaochang to visit Chu Zuoshu. The latter was dressed in brocade and had a straight-looking face. Visually, he could beat Meng Hong ten times over.


    The news of Yu Lian¡¯s results being frozen was told to Chen Mobai by Chu Zuoshu.


    ¡°He seems to be an orphan of the Silver Sky Sect. Although he used a knife as a sword during the sect competition, traces of the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture were still discovered by the Witchcraft Division. The Sect Leader consulted me and the Vice Hall Master and we decided, just to be safe, to freeze his results.¡±


    ¡°Silver Sky Sect?¡±


    This was an unfamiliar term to Chen Mobai, as he had never heard of it. However, he didn¡¯t bother understanding the forces in Tianhe Realm or even Eastern Wilderness. The time may be better spent cultivating his Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    ¡°The Silver Sky Sect is the inheritance of the Wangu Sect. The Wangu Sect was the overlord of Eastern Wilderness before the Five Elements Sect. They were wiped out by the seven great sects in Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    ¡°The Silver Sky Sect was established by disciples of the Wangu Sect who conceded to our Five Elements Sect back in those days. It¡¯s a pity that the Silver Sky Sect made some minor moves during the split of our Five Elements Sect and was expelled from their original place in Yun Country by the Ancestor of the Fire Vein.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s unexpected though, that after the Silver Sky Sect relocated to the neighboring Snow Country, it quickly began to decline. After the sect¡¯s three Foundation Establishment cultivators each passed away, the sect was raided by a group of mysterious cultivators twenty years ago. All inheritances and foundations obtained from the Wangu Sect were completely looted.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu was very pleased that Chen Mobai was willing to come to the Reward Virtue Hall, with Yue Zutao accompanying them and brewing tea. They sat together, all at the Foundation Establishment realm, discussing the origins of the Silver Sky Sect and the Wangu Sect.


    ¡°So, the fall of the Silver Sky Sect has nothing to do with my Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai was puzzled as he opened his mouth. The fall of the Silver Sky Sect, although it originated from the infighting of the Five Elements Sect, was in the final analysis due to their own lack of strength, holding the foundation of the Wangu Sect, and the sin of harboring precious things.


    ¡°True as it may be, who knows what the descendants of the Silver Sky Sect think. If they harbor resentment, wouldn¡¯t giving him the Foundation Building Pill be inviting a wolf into the house.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu¡¯s words made sense, and both Sun Gaochang and Yue Zutao nodded in agreement.


    Chen Mobai merely took a sip of his clear tea and said nothing.


    ¡°Does Junior Brother Chen have a different opinion?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Of course, Chu Zuoshu also noticed this and asked.


    ¡°A little bit. Yu Lian became a True Disciple completely according to the rules and laws of the Divine Wood Sect. If today his achievements are stripped away due to such unfounded resentment, then in the future, could the upper ranks of the sect use the same excuse to strip other True Disciples of their Foundation Building Pills?¡±


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s words weren¡¯t explicit, everyone present was quick-witted and understood what he meant.


    This precedent must not be set.


    ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t really have any opinion on this matter. After all, I¡¯ve agreed with the Sect Leader that I¡¯ll support whatever he wants to do for the next two years.¡±

 Chapter 391 - Chapter 391: Chapter 295 Silver Sky Sect_2

    Chapter 391: Chapter 295 Silver Sky Sect_2


    ¡°As long as he gives me the position of the sect leader after he steps down.¡±


    ¡°However, Quan Shanlin believes that we should eliminate any potential threats in advance, not only deprive that disciple of the second rank in the true inheritance but also make him work in the Penalty Evil Hall for constant supervision.¡±


    Chen Mobai sitting here today signifies that he is now allied with Chu Zuoshu, so the latter speaks very directly.


    Although he doesn¡¯t pay much attention to matters outside his cultivation progress, Chen Mobai is still aware of Quan Shanlin.


    The Vice Hall Master of the Penalty Evil Hall.


    Although he is the vice hall master, he is essentially the acting hall master, as the nominal hall masters of the Shenmu Hall of the Penalty Evil Hall are the two Gold Core elders of the Divine Wood Sect.


    These two naturally wouldn¡¯t manage trivial matters on a daily basis, so the vice hall master of Shenmu Hall is Meng Hong, the sect leader, and the vice hall master of the Penalty Evil Hall is Quan Shanlin, the cherished disciple of old master Fu and also a high-level expert at the late Foundation Establishment stage.


    Among the three halls of the Divine Wood Sect, only the Reward Virtue Hall is led by Chu Zuoshu, a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. However, he and Meng Hong are both disciples of elder master Zhou, so this hall master role is stable and secure.


    ¡°The sect leader has a kind heart and just plans to freeze the disciple¡¯s score this year and hone him. After four years when the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom matures, if he truly has the talent, he will still get a Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu reveals the decision they agreed upon when they discussed this matter among the three major halls. Now, Chu Zuoshu fully supports Meng Hong. With the two of them in agreement, Quan Shanlin can¡¯t object.


    ¡°With such action, even without resentment, I¡¯m afraid it would emerge.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed. If it were him and the recognition he earned through his hard-earned efforts were frozen due to such circumstances, even the most open-minded person would harbor resentment.


    When the Divine Wood Sect is prominent, Yu Lian certainly wouldn¡¯t dare to show it, but if an accident happens in the future, this bit of resentment might become a seed, ready to sprout rapidly.


    ¡°Indeed, this person must be talented compared to his peers considering he has achieved the second rank in true inheritance on his first attempt. If he harbors resentment and reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, this would present a great risk for the sect.¡±


    After being reminded by Chen Mobai, Chu Zuoshu also realizes this.


    Meng Hong only has a couple of years left, and given Yu Lian¡¯s ability, obtaining a true Foundation Building Pill in four years would be a breeze. But by then, he would likely harbor resentment because of today¡¯s matter.


    In that case, Chu Zuoshu, being the leader at that time, would have to pay for the mistake Meng Hong made today.


    After all, if Yu Lian successfully reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, his own position as a sect leader would be very awkward.


    He is an elder of the Divine Wood Sect, but he might not be faithful! If he advances to the Foundation Establishment stage, thousands of spiritual stones need to be granted each year, in addition to providing him with the appropriate spirit veins and duties, and Yu Lian and the sect will likely harbor mutual suspicion due to this.


    ¡°The sect leader¡¯s edict has not yet been issued, I will go to the sect leader again and see if we can discuss this again.¡±


    After Chu Zuoshu thought it through, he put down his tea cup, stood up, and decided to go to Shenmu Hall.


    Chen Mobai did not expect that Chu Zuoshu was such a vacillating leader who is easily influenced, and also impulsive when it comes to taking action.


    Upon reaching this conclusion, he left his guest behind and left on his own.


    ¡°Brother Chen, have some tea.¡±


    Yue Zutao can only act on behalf of his master and entertain guests like Sun Gaochang and Chen Mobai.


    After finishing a pot of tea, the two immediately took their leave.


    ¡°Brother Yue, it¡¯s getting late. Today I have to send off Brother Yuan. I originally planned to ask the hall master if I could represent the Reward Virtue Hall in investigating the deficit of the spirit stone mine in Lei Nation, but it seems I can only discuss it another day.¡±


    In fact, deep down, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to travel, so he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to mention it. Now that Chu Zuoshu has gone to Shenmu Hall, he¡¯ll have to bring it up the next time they meet.


    ¡°That should be easy. However, it might have to wait till next year when your assignment officially shifts from the Spirit Plant Department to the Reward Virtue Hall.¡±


    As one of the inspection envoys of the Reward Virtue Hall, Yue Zutao is very knowledgeable about the process.


    ¡°That would be a great help, Brother Yue.¡±


    They were in the Reward Virtue Hall in the Divine Wood City. After they left, Sun Gaochang returned to the Spirit Plant Department, while Chen Mobai headed directly to E Yun¡¯s mansion.


    Interestingly, he ran into the Luo siblings at the entrance.


    ¡°Greetings, Uncle Master Chen.¡±


    Luo Yixuan elegantly lifted the hem of her palace dress and respectfully greeted Chen Mobai. On the other hand, Luo Yixiu standing beside her took a step back as soon as he saw him.


    ¡°Mm, let¡¯s all go in together.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally knew why they had come but what he didn¡¯t expect was that Luo Yixiu, who was full of vigour and arrogance after becoming a true disciple after the sect competition, would end up like this after being defeated by Yu Lian.


    He noticed Chen Mobai¡¯s glancing in his direction but dared not meet his eyes, staring at the ground with a frightened and timid look. It seemed as though he had completely lost his confidence, as if he had been thoroughly crushed.


    ¡°Chen¡­ Uncle¡­ it¡­ has nothing to do with me¡­ the issue of Uncle Luo¡­ I¡­ I returned to the sect last year¡­ The deficit in the spirit stone mine, certainly, has nothing to do with me¡­¡±


    The words stuttered out from Luo Yixiu, fear in his voice as he muttered a string of excuses in his defence.


    Chen Mobai finally understood after hearing this.


    It wasn¡¯t Yu Lian¡¯s defeat that caused it but rather the downfall of Luo Shupin, the man he had relied on, who might even face the accusation of betraying the sect. This substantial change had caused Luo Yixiu to lose all his spirits.


    ¡°if your confidence is rooted in your family or elders, you will never truly become a powerful cultivator in this lifetime.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t particularly fond of Luo Yixiu, seeing a once proud young man become so discouraged overnight was unbearable.


    However, after reassuring him, he noticed that Luo Yixiu¡¯s head hung even lower, even hiding behind Luo Yixuan, making Chen Mobai shake his head and turned to walk into E Yun¡¯s mansion.


    ¡°Thank you for your advice, Uncle Chen.¡±


    The voice of Luo Yixuan attempting to defuse the situation came from behind as the siblings trailed into the mansion.


    Luo Yixiu¡¯s legs shook as if he was walking to the execution grounds, in the end, it was Luo Yixuan dragging him into the courtyard.


    ¡°Greetings to the three Uncles.¡±


    E Yun and Yuan Chiye had already set up a banquet, even if a pot of wine had been opened. Chen Mobai took a seat and sniffed, finding that it was rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine. He wondered whose it was.


    ¡°Sit, there are some things we need to ask you, just answer truthfully, the sect won¡¯t wrong you.¡±


    E Yun pointed at the two long tables in the courtyard, naturally on top of which were empty and devoid of food and wine.


    ¡°Yes, Uncle E.¡±


    After Luo Yixuan sat down, Luo Yixiu had composed himself, sitting across her.


    Chen Mobai remained silent, just focusing on eating and drinking.


    ¡°Mm, we understand the general situation. In the upcoming days, you siblings should concentrate on cultivating within the sect, I will also make a trip to Yun Country and talk to the head of your Luo family.¡±


    After asking, E Yun nodded his head and waved his hand, signaling that the two could leave.


    ¡°Three uncles, I believe that my great uncle would not betray the sect. And even if he did make a small mistake, it doesn¡¯t mean that the entire Luo family is guilty.¡±


    When Luo Yixiu got up to leave, upon hearing that E Yun was intending to go to the clan in Yun Country, worried that his last stand may be implicated, he gathered the courage to speak up.


    Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t have time to stop him. She could only pull at her brother¡¯s clothes, trying to take him away quietly.


    ¡°Whether there¡¯s a crime, whether it¡¯s a big or small mistake, it¡¯s not you and I who get to decide; the sect will find out the truth.¡±


    As expected, E Yun, who had been facially expressionless all along, heard Luo Yixiu¡¯s words. He frowned, his tone significantly harsher in response.


    ¡°Uncle¡­¡±

    Luo Yixiu, hearing that E Yun wasn¡¯t pleased, instantly lost the courage he had gathered. He stood there helpless and not knowing what to do.


    At this point, Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t dare make any moves. She could only stand there alongside her brother, waiting for words from the Foundation Establishment elder in front of them.


    ¡°Alright, you may leave.¡±


    It was at this moment that Chen Mobai spoke up.


    This mundane phrase, when heard by Luo Yixuan, was as if a heavenly sound had sounded.

 Chapter 392 - Chapter 392: Chapter 296: Rank-3 Herbs_1

    Chapter 392: Chapter 296: Rank-3 Herbs_1


    Luo Yixuan had never imagined that having her dismissed could be such an effortless task.


    Once Chen Mobai spoke, E Yun naturally stopped applying pressure and lifted his hand, indicating the Luo siblings could leave.


    ¡°The person from the Penalty Evil Hall going to Lei Nation this time is Fu Xingzhou.¡±


    When only the three of them were left, E Yun shared the information he had gathered in the last few days.


    ¡°Is it really him?¡±


    Yuan Chiye was a bit surprised.


    Chen Mobai also knew this person. In the past, Chen Mobai wanted to acquire a Foundation Building Pill for his father, so he thought about buying one from the Heavenly Spiritual Root Yin Qingmei. However, he later found out through Xi Jinghuo that the pill she owned had long been transferred to Fu Xingzhou.


    This man is the direct descendant of one of the other Gold Core ancestors of the sect, and his Spiritual Root Talent stands out as well.


    However, Fu Xingzhou kept a low profile. Since establishing his foundation, he constantly secluded himself to practice his cultivation technique. He seems to avoid creating any negative influence on Fu the Gold Core ancestor.


    ¡°He set out half a month ago, so I did not get a chance to communicate with him.¡±


    After E Yun finished speaking, Yuan Chiye waved his hand carelessly.


    ¡°Following the sect¡¯s rules, it¡¯s better that he and I don¡¯t interact. I finished my drink too, so I¡¯ll be leaving.¡±


    After saying this, Yuan Chiye put down his wine glass, transformed into a green light, took off into the sky, and disappeared over his seat.


    ¡°Elder brother Yuan is really a carefree man.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a laugh. Finishing the last of his drink, he bid farewell and left.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, I am going to Yun Country to guard the place tomorrow. I¡¯ll count on you to look after the sect.¡±


    E Yun sincerely said.


    ¡°Of course, but I might have to go to Lei Nation along with elder brother Yuan to investigate the shortfall in the Spirit Stone Mine on behalf of the Reward Virtue Hall.¡±


    ¡°He said that casually, you don¡¯t need to pay it any mind.¡±


    E Yun shook his head. Chen Mobai was not interested in going out, so this reply would serve as an explanation to Yuan Chiye in the future.


    However, he still pretended to hesitate a little before agreeing.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    After Yuan Chiye and E Yun left, Chen Mobai suddenly found himself in possession of a lot of free time.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, the one with whom he had the deepest friendship was Qi Rui.


    The two of them used to endure bloody battles against demonic beasts together on Green Light Island, that¡¯s true comradeship.


    However, since Qi Rui is a person from Tianhe Realm and Chen Mobai had established his foundation, he felt a disparity between their statuses.


    Now, unless Chen Mobai takes the initiative to invite him, Qi Rui seldom visits of his own accord. Not to mention the Qi Hou brothers and Xi Jinghuo.


    Because of this, after E Yun and Yuan Chiye left the sect one after the other, Chen Mobai had been enjoying a few peaceful days in Divine Wood City.


    One night,


    He invited Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye over for a drink.


    After they had their fill of good food and wine, Chen Mobai proposed that he was cultivating a technique for absorbing spirit and needed different cultivators¡¯ spiritual power for his understanding.


    Despite being puzzled about why they hadn¡¯t heard of this technique before, Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye trusted Chen Mobai and gave him a strand of their cultivating spiritual power without any hesitation.


    After the two left, Chen Mobai wrote down the results shown on the Spirit-Testing Instruments in his palm.


    [Yue Zutao¡¯s Spiritual Root: Gold 6, Wood 57, Water 27, Fire 12, Earth 8]


    [Yan Jinye¡¯s Spiritual Root: Gold 3, Wood 40, Water 10, Fire 35, Earth 12]


    As one of the only two Foundation Establishment cultivators who managed to obtain the Tree Fruit from Divine Tree Secret Realm in the recorded history of Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai had long wanted to explore and study both their spiritual roots and associated cultivation techniques to understand the pattern behind it.


    However, he wasn¡¯t close enough to Yue Zutao to do so before. Now that he had shared a drink and joined the Reward Virtue Hall, they had become good friends.


    However, the result from the Spirit-Testing Instruments was astonishing for Chen Mobai.


    Yan Jinye¡¯s result seemed normal; all his attributes added up to an exact 100. Regardless of how it was counted, he was a genuine True Spirit Root cultivator with Wood Fire dual attributes which are very suitable for the Dual Phase Technique. If his lifespan permitted, he had a hope for Core Formation.


    But there was something odd about Yue Zutao¡¯s spiritual root.


    The total amount of his Five Elements Spiritual Root added up to 110, with Wood Spirit Root reaching an astonishing 57. If he were to practice the cultivation technique for Spiritual Root in the Celestial School, he might even be able to upgrade to Heavenly Spiritual Root after spending a decade or two.


    Could it be that Yue Zutao, like Chen Mobai, had consumed some sort of spiritual object which could enhance the Spiritual Root? Or was it an enhancement after consuming the Tree Fruit?


    In response to this, Chen Mobai could only make a guess for now and confirm it through further communication later.


    After comparing the Spiritual Roots of Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye, he found that their Wood Spirit Roots were both exceptionally high.


    This must be the key to producing the Tree Fruit on the Magic Treasure Tree!


    With this discovery, a surge of energy enveloped Chen Mobai.


    As he possessed the Wood Spiritual Talisman, he could artificially create a Heavenly Wood Spiritual Root.


    If he could send the chosen Foundation Establishment cultivators into Divine Tree Secret Realm and give them the Wood Spiritual Talisman to use while obtaining the Tree Fruit from the Magic Treasure Tree, wouldn¡¯t the likelihood of getting a Tree Fruit greatly increase?!

    However, this was just Chen Mobai¡¯s conjecture. Whether it could succeed or not still needed validation.


    Or maybe, the key was not the Wood Spirit Root, but the cultivation technique?


    Both Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye practiced the Dual Phase Technique, albeit the former practiced Water Wood while the latter Wood Fire. However, they both have practiced Eternal Life Sutra.


    This line of thought was also worth thorough investigation.


    Just when Chen Mobai wanted to continue pondering on these issues, a slight fluctuation of spiritual power fell into the courtyard. His mind stirred, and he cast the Ignition Technique to turn the paper where he had written down the Spiritual Roots of Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye into ashes.

 Chapter 393 - Chapter 393: Chapter 296 Rank-3 Herbs_2

    Chapter 393: Chapter 296 Rank-3 Herbs_2


    After completing all of this, he pushed open the room door and walked out.


    A youth in black clothing was standing in the courtyard, waiting for him.


    ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised to see Yu Lian.


    ¡°I came to thank you.¡±


    ¡°Oh, if you¡¯re talking about informing you about the Foundation Building Pill being produced in the Alchemy Department, didn¡¯t you already thank me before?¡±


    ¡°You know that¡¯s not what I¡¯m referring to.¡±


    Yu Lian spoke without any expression. Chen Mobai was a bit surprised upon hearing this. In the past few days, no decree had been issued by Shenmu Hall under the sect leader¡¯s name to cancel Yu Lian¡¯s genuine pass mark for this year, indicating that Chu Zuoshu¡¯s persuasion had been successful.


    But this should have been something that only a few people knew about.


    ¡°You knew?¡±


    ¡°Yes, my master serves as the Inspection Envoy of the Reward Virtue Hall. He mentioned this matter when he visited Hall Master Chu yesterday, so I came to thank you.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t really know that Shan Hongyi was also from the Reward Virtue Hall, but finally, his doubt was cleared up. He was under the impression that those few had loose lips and was reminding himself to be cautious about what he says in the future.


    ¡°I simply stood up for basic order and rules. For a sect to develop and become stronger, rules are the foundation. If they are broken in your case, who else would respect the genuine achievements of the sect in the future?¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yu Lian felt enlightened but puzzled at the same time.


    After all, in Tianhe Realm, the weak are prey to the strong. Order only serves the privileged. The interests of the lower echelons are only ensured and perpetuated when they do not conflict with the upper echelons.


    ¡°In the future, you can come to me whenever you have something you can¡¯t handle.¡±


    Although Yu Lian did not fully understand Chen Mobai¡¯s Immortal Cultivation mindset, he knew that he should return the favor. He gave Chen Mobai his own pledge.


    ¡°You should focus on your cultivation.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head. Although Yu Lian¡¯s cultivation level was already supreme in Qi Cultivation, for Chen Moyai at the moment, Yu Lian could be crushed at a finger¡¯s touch. Plus, Yu Lian has ties with the Silver Sky Sect¡¯s Wang Gu Gate, and even if he successfully achieved Foundation Establishment in the future, he would likely not be at peace.


    Moreover, his two disciples were very conscientious, and he currently didn¡¯t need to use Yu Lian.


    ¡°Alright, then I will come to find you again after my Foundation Establishment next year.¡±


    After leaving these words behind, Yu Lian left Chen Mobai¡¯s courtyard.


    After his departure, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming came out of the corner. Yu Lian did not hide himself, so they also felt unusual spiritual power fluctuation entering the courtyard from their own rooms.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°Yes, I will return to Xiao Nanshan tomorrow.¡±


    Chen Mobai had long detected the presence of the two, and now that he had finished all his tasks in Divine Wood City, it was time to return to the Immortal Cultivation world.


    ¡°Master, we should come back with you.¡±


    ¡°No need. Wen Bo¡¯s wound has not fully healed, so stay here to recuperate. As for Zhuo Ming, isn¡¯t the business at the South Mountain Shop quite booming recently? You stay here to oversee the whole operation. After the wine is sold out then you can return.¡±


    Because the Grade-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine had such good effects before, it has been gaining popularity among Foundation Establishment cultivators recently. However, after Chen Mobai sent it to Chu Zuoshu and Meng Hong and had them send ten jars to the two Gold Core elders, only half a vat was left.


    He did not keep any for himself to drink, leaving it all for Zhuo Ming, instructing her to put a small jar in the South Mountain Shop every once in a while.


    There are approximately 100 catties in a vat and 2 catties in a small jar, Chen Mobai left his little disciples with 20 jars of Grade-2 Spiritual Wine.


    Each jar of Grade-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine was priced at 100 Spirit Stones.


    Chen Mobai originally thought the price was already extremely high, but after leaving the South Mountain Shop, it was auctioned off for a price of 150 Spirit Stones.


    As for this, all Chen Mobai could do was sigh. It¡¯s always faster to make money by selling things related to boosting one¡¯s cultivation level.


    ¡°Master, doesn¡¯t that mean I might not be able to come back at all next year?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming¡¯s small round face immediately showed a bitter expression.


    While the Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine was selling well, there was still a stock of ordinary Jade Bud Spirit Wine made two years ago in the shop.


    The spiritual wine isn¡¯t very beneficial to cultivation, and no one usually buys it. If Zhuo Ming really needs to sell all the wine in the Xiao Nanshan Shop¡¯s cellar before he can return, it¡¯s very possible that he might be selling them until the annual Sect competition next year.


    ¡°You can come back anytime you want, you¡¯re a grown man with your own legs, am I going to stop you?¡±


    Only after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words did Zhuo Ming feel reassured, promising that he would fulfill his task.


    Early the next day.


    As Chen Mobai was preparing to eat the simple breakfast prepared by his disciples, another guest arrived.


    ¡°Oh, coming early isn¡¯t as good as coming at the right time, would you like to join us for a meal?¡±


    When Zhuo Ming led Luo Yixuan in, Chen Mobai was eating boiled spirit chicken eggs.


    These eggs are not generally available to the public. Liu Wenbo, who works in the Spirit Beasts Department, managed to get them. They came from a kind of spirit chicken domesticated by cultivators, rated the same grade as the Azure Blood Carp.


    Ever since he improved his spiritual root by eating the Azure Blood Carp and Jade Bamboo shoots, Chen Mobai had developed a keen interest in tasting the various and bizarre spirit meals and spirit beasts in the Tianhe Realm.


    Liu Wenbo knew about this, and whenever he had the chance, he would bring some of the poultry meat bred in the Spirit Beasts Department to let Chen Mobai taste.


    However, so far, they had not yet found a third item that could enhance the spiritual root.


    It can only be said that Liu Yanpei¡¯s luck was against heaven. After eating the fish and bamboo he bred in the Water Mansion, they were found to be beneficial to the spiritual root.


    ¡°I came specifically to thank Uncle Master Chen, this is a little token of appreciation from our clan leader, I hope you will accept it.¡±


    Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t dare to take Chen Mobai¡¯s politeness literally. She shook her head and untied a golden storage bag from her waist, holding it with both hands and handed it over with her head bowed.


    Zhuo Ming immediately took it and happily placed it on Chen Mobai¡¯s dining table.


    ¡°You this child, I didn¡¯t say I will accept it.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, but since the item was already in front of him, it was only polite to take a look.


    The storage bag had no seal. After Chen Mobai projected his divine sense into it, he saw a dazzling array of items, which turned out to be six hundred Spirit Stones.


    ¡°This should be prepared by you, shouldn¡¯t it?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked a question, Luo Yixuan¡¯s body trembled, and then she revealed a bitter smile.


    ¡°Uncle Master Chen, please forgive me. It will take some time for my clan to mobilize resources. When I heard that you would be leaving Divine Wood City tomorrow, I used the Spirit Stones at hand to prepare a gift.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded after listening, indicating that he understood.


    Such a test is bearable for him.


    For him back in his Qi Cultivation days, six hundred Spirit Stones were a great fortune, but for him now, it was simply dispensable.


    Seeing that he didn¡¯t express acceptance, Luo Yixuan thought that the gift was too light. She bit her lip and took out a jade box from her sleeve and handed it to Zhuo Ming.


    However, at this time, Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t take it, but rather, he looked at Chen Mobai first.


    ¡°Bring it over.¡±


    Chen Mobai was also a bit curious. After all, he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the stuff that Luo Yixuan presented with such gravity must be no ordinary item.


    He opened the jade box to take a look, and it was instantly met with a refreshing and fragrant scent.


    In the box, a small herb with five yellow and white round leaves and an exquisite stamen in the middle made its appearance. It seemed like the herb had been plucked for quite some time, but because it was well preserved, it retained eighty to ninety percent of its medicinal properties.


    ¡°Camelweed!¡±


    Chen Mobai had not learned the herb identification courses in the academy for nothing over the past two years, he immediately recognized the origin of the herb.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, what he said was the term used in Tianhe Realm. In the Immortal Cultivation world, this herb was called the ¡°Ancient Duduo Lotus¡±. It was a rank-3 spirit grass that could be used to concoct Spirit Pills increasing strength and purifying Qi and blood, and was one of the main ingredients of the Foundation Building Pill.


    The ¡°Camelweed¡± presented by Luo Yixuan should have medicinal effects for two to three hundred years, and had just entered rank-3.


    Even so, if it were put up for sale, it would be worth at least two to three thousand Spirit Stones.


    ¡°This item is the most precious one in our Luo family¡¯s herbal fields.¡±


    Luo Yixuan gently mentioned the origin of this item.

 Chapter 394 - Chapter 394: Chapter 297: Accepting Another Disciple_1

    Chapter 394: Chapter 297: Accepting Another Disciple_1


    ¡°This item is indeed precious, but it should have been given to the sect, shouldn¡¯t it?¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he picked up the third-ranked medicinal herb to verify the knowledge he had learned about medicinal herbs over the past two years.


    ¡°Elder Chen indeed possesses keen eyes. Our Luo family¡¯s Spirit Camel Mountain is very suitable for the growth of this herb, so we deliberately allocated a garden to plant it. The family has planted it for over three hundred years, and now it has become a considerable scale. Every ten years we would provide the sect with a Camelweed.¡±


    Luo Yixuan did not hide anything and told the truth upon Chen Mobai¡¯s inquiry.


    ¡°Since it¡¯s meant for the sect, isn¡¯t gifting it to me jeopardizing the sect¡¯s crucial task of formulating the Foundation Building Pill?¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke again, and Luo Yixuan laughed softly, uttering a thought-provoking statement.


    ¡°In fact, every ten years, a few Camelweeds mature in our family¡¯s medicinal garden. Besides supplying to the sect, we are willing to sell the rest to other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness should they need it.¡±


    In the Tianhe Realm, cultivator families are mostly affiliated with major sects, but each has its unique means of support.


    For instance, Liu Wenbo¡¯s family fish farming technique in South Creek, where Chen Mobai originated from, and the Luo family¡¯s Spirit Camel cultivation.


    No matter which family it is, if they can secure a piece of Spiritual Land for survival, they would typically establish a medicinal garden to cultivate spiritual medicines.


    After all, everyone in the Tianhe Realm knows that the best way to enhance one¡¯s cultivation is by consuming pills.


    Moreover, once a cultivator has reached a high level of achievement, Spirit Stones will no longer attract top-ranked cultivators, and centurial medicinal materials and millennial medicinal herbs would become the main currency for transactions.


    The seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness are supportive of this.


    Everyone knows that if you want to catch a net full of fish and shrimp, you must first feed them well.


    However, the seven major sects understand the principle of sustainable development. As long as the Cultivator families are law-abiding, they would purchase the high-age medicinal materials they cultivated based on the prevailing market values.


    At least a hundred different varieties of primary and auxiliary herbs are needed for the formulation of Rank-3 and higher pills.


    As for herbs, they are very dependent on the quality of the Spirit Soil and climate. Although Giant Tree Ridge boasts thousands of acres of medicinal fields, some herbs simply cannot be cultivated and grown here. The sect has established many secondary manors for cultivation in various parts of the four kingdoms. Due to the lack of manpower, many tasks are delegated to the lower cultivator families, resulting in better outcomes.


    This Luo family¡¯s ¡°Camelweed¡± is one such case.


    Every time the Divine Wood Sect wants to formulate the Foundation Building Pill, they would purchase one Rank-3 Camelweed from Luo¡¯s family.


    ¡°So, this one is supposed to be sold to the sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, Luo Yixuan nodded in approval.


    ¡°Last night, my brother reported the current situation within the sect to our family patriarch through the Concentric Talisman. The patriarch will instruct our family to urgently transport one Camelweed to the sect for pill formation. This one is given to Elder Chen as a thank you for your fair words.¡±


    As the Divine Wood Sect was going to process the Foundation Building Pill, even though most of the primary and auxiliary herbs can be picked from Giant Tree Ridge, there are also some that need purchasing from other cultivator families and merchant groups. Therefore, this Camelweed from Luo¡¯s family, being delayed for just two days, was not a big deal.


    Even though Luo Yixuan reassured him, Chen Mobai put the valuable Rank-3 herb back into the jade box and closed the lid after hearing her words.


    ¡°I have accepted the gratitude from Luo¡¯s family. As for this Camelweed, it¡¯s best to leave it for the sect.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he signaled Luo Yixuan to take back the item, the latter, slightly startled, hesitated and dared not to approach.


    ¡°Although it would only cause a two-day delay as you mentioned, matters of the sect definitely take precedence over my personal affairs, so this herb must first be given to the sect.¡±


    Zhuo Ming was somewhat puzzled by his words, but Luo Yixuan understood, her face initially puzzled then enlightened, and finally, wore an enlightened look. She respectfully collected the jade box.


    ¡°I should learn from Elder Chen¡¯s attitude of prioritizing the sect.¡±


    Once Luo Yixuan finished her words, she picked up the box and stood by his side.


    ¡°I have something I want to ask you. If it¡¯s inconvenient for you to answer, you don¡¯t have to.¡±


    Seeing the beautiful girl in palace attire right in front of him, Chen Mobai remembered the matter of the sect competition and asked her. Luo Yixuan nodded, signifying that he could ask whatever he wanted.


    ¡°Why do you hide your cultivation level? Are you afraid of overshadowing your brother?¡±


    Upon hearing this, a flicker of panic flashed through Luo Yixuan¡¯s eyes, but then she gave a bitter laugh and shook her head.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Indeed, I cannot hide my Returning Essence Secret Technique from Foundation Establishment cultivators.¡±


    ¡°No, you¡¯ve practiced it quite well. Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators you¡¯ve encountered, probably only I can see through your disguise.¡±


    Luo Yixuan stood still for a long time. Just when Chen Mobai thought she didn¡¯t want to answer, she sighed and began to speak.


    ¡°In the family, females are always married out. If you perform too brilliantly and your reputation spreads, other cultivator families nearby will send people to marry you, treating you as a breeding tool. Or, you might be favored by a top-ranked cultivator from the upper sect and treated as a medicinal furnace. Although my brother and I share the same father, we have different mothers.¡±


    ¡°My mother was a female cultivator from a small family in the Yun Country. Due to her beautiful looks and decent spiritual root talent, she was taken as the sixth Daoist partner by my father at the age of eighteen for a hundred spirit stones and two rank-1 magic artifacts.¡±

 Chapter 395 - Chapter 395: Chapter 297: Accepting Another Disciple_2

    Chapter 395: Chapter 297: Accepting Another Disciple_2


    ¡°My father practices a cultivation technique of Yang-attribute, and he has contributed greatly to the expansion of our family. He has a total of twenty-seven children, however, only five of us have spiritual roots. Among them, my two sisters have already been used as tools for marriage alliances, married off to two other cultivation families.¡±


    ¡°I was supposed to be the third to be married off, but my spiritual root is suitable for cultivating the Art of Eternal Life. On average days, I flatter and mix up with my brother, who happened to be heading for the Divine Wood Sect and was a bit upset about going alone. So, he let me accompany him.¡±


    ¡°I knew this was my only chance to change my destiny, so I tried desperately to cultivate. However, I also knew that if I surpassed my brother, the family would see me as an uncontrollable factor and might even cut off my spirit stone resources. I might end up with the same fate as my mother.¡±


    ¡°So, I carefully controlled my cultivation progress, ensuring I remained a step behind my brother. But I also needed to secure my position as a true disciple in the Sect¡¯s grand competition four years later.¡±


    As Luo Yixuan finished speaking, Zhuo Ming, who was by her side, widened her eyes in disbelief. She couldn¡¯t believe that this beautiful young lady from a noble family was carrying such a heavy psychological burden from a young age.


    ¡°It seems that your relationship with your father is mediocre.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai was also somewhat surprised by the customs of the cultivation families in the Tianhe Realm. Despite being cultivation practitioners, their thoughts were still so feudal and traditional.


    ¡°If I become a true disciple and acquire the Foundation Building Pill, my father will surely ask me to give it to my brother.¡±


    With an expressionless face, Luo Yixuan coldly uttered a sad sentence.


    ¡°Will you give it to him then?¡±


    ¡°No, this is my only chance to change my destiny. Even if I die, I will take it.¡±


    As she said this, Luo Yixuan¡¯s eyes were resolute. Amid her pair of clear, dark eyes, there was a touch of defiant determination.


    ¡°Well, with such a determined spirit, there¡¯s a 30-40% chance of you building your foundation.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded satisfiedly. He indeed didn¡¯t misjudge these people. Both Yu Lian, and Luo Yixuan were geniuses second only to him.


    On the other hand, Zhuo Ming¡¯s spiritual root was also not bad, but she didn¡¯t have the same ruthless mentality as these two.


    Perhaps because of her impoverished childhood, she didn¡¯t harbor any deep hatred or oppressive fears, allowing her to have a normal childhood.


    ¡°Master Chen, if my family found out about what I said today, my life would be over.¡±


    Suddenly, Luo Yixuan appeared on the verge of tears, with a faint sheen moistening her eyes. She hung her head in a seemingly defeated manner, revealing a sorrowful expression that Chen Mobai could just see.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that, I promise I won¡¯t let them know. As for Zhuo Ming, you can also rest assured, she is not a tattler.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately made a promise. However, it was only a verbal promise. He would certainly not let himself and his disciple be sworn to oath over this matter.


    ¡°Master Chen, what do you think of me?¡±


    ¡°?¡±


    But at this time, Luo Yixuan said something ambiguous that caused confusion.


    Zhuo Ming immediately widened her eyes and looked at Luo Yixuan as if she were a vixen, rolling up her sleeves preparing to cast her out.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Chen Mobai furrowed his brows.


    He was a man of integrity and could absolutely withstand such questioning. If he wasn¡¯t considering the girl¡¯s face in front of him and pitied her unfortunate childhood, he would probably turn his face immediately.


    ¡°Master Chen, I also possess a True Spirit Root with three attributes. I wonder if this qualifies me to become your disciple?¡±


    Suddenly, Luo Yixuan knelt before Chen Mobai. This action and her words left both master and disciple sighing a breath of relief.


    [So, that¡¯s what she meant.]


    ¡°Master Chen, both my brother and I have been cultivating under our sub-uncle for the past few years, but we have never formally acknowledged him as our master. Right now, our sub-uncle might be involved in a matter about betraying the sect. If I can acknowledge you as my master, our family will surely be ecstatic, and I can free myself ahead of time. Furthermore, if I become your disciple, I will be sincere and absolutely loyal to you. After all, my family has only ever given me negative emotions since I was a child.¡±


    As Luo Yixuan spoke, she started to perform the ritual of three kneels and nine prostrations towards Chen Mobai, who instantly waved his large sleeves, and a gentle, dense surge of Longevity Spiritual Power transformed into an invisible cushion, preventing her from performing the ritual.


    ¡°Master Chen, are you unwilling to accept me?¡±


    Luo Yixuan saw this scene, the teardrops finally fell from the corners of her eyes, traversing along her smooth and fair cheeks and dropping to the ground. The sight of her vulnerability even stirred up some heartache in Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that¡­never mind, please transfer some of your spiritual power to me first.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know what to say.


    Throughout his life, he had never seen such posturing, and at first thought to refuse. But soon after, he considered that Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming already did, so accepting another one wouldn¡¯t be such a big deal. Moreover, having a mentor-student relationship would be beneficial in the Divine Tree Secret Realm in the future.


    Most importantly, given this disciple¡¯s determination and potential, she could probably enter the top ten of the true transmission disciples. As long as there were no accidents, she had a good chance of reaching Foundation Establishment, which would greatly enhance his reputation.


    Luo Yixuan did not understand why but obediently held the jade box with one hand, and offered her fair, slender right hand, transferring a thread of spiritual power she had cultivated to Chen Mobai.


    [Gold 21, Wood 22, Water 37, Fire 10, Earth 10]


    The spiritual root is indeed good, especially the Water Spirit Root, these numbers could already be considered above average.


    ¡°Well then, you¡¯ll be my registered disciple first.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment. Seeing the dried tear stains on Luo Yixuan¡¯s fair cheeks, he nodded his consent.


    ¡°Disciple pays respects to Master.¡±


    Luo Yixuan immediately performed a grand salute. This time, Chen Mobai did not stop her.


    ¡°Hmm, after you go back, tell your clan leader about this matter. You should also stop trying to please your brother, just move into Xiao Nanshan and live with Zhuo Ming.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    Two voices answered.


    In Luo Yixuan¡¯s tone was a joy unlike any she had known before, and at that moment, Zhuo Ming finally came to a realization.


    From now on, she was no longer the youngest disciple.


    Unexpectedly, she felt a sense of loss.


    [Everyone says that adults pay the most attention to the youngest child. I wonder if Master will stop paying as much attention to my cultivation progress.]


    Zhuo Ming thought so, but as the respect for a teacher is paramount in the Tianhe Realm, and with her gentle personality, she could only smile and welcome Luo Yixuan, her new junior sister, to the Xiao Nanshan lineage.


    ¡°These spirit stones were your personal property; take them with you. Your Master doesn¡¯t lack them.¡±


    Chen Mobai motioned towards the storage bag full of six hundred spirit stones that Luo Yixuan had earlier offered. She hesitated at first, but noticing the serious look in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes, she took them back. However, she returned the jade box she had been holding onto her chest.


    ¡°Master, now that I¡¯m your disciple, you should take this medicinal herb. In two days, I will deliver the herb that the clan elder sent to the sect. Nobody will know.¡±


    Luo Yixuan had good intentions, but Chen Mobai still shook his head and pushed back the jade box.


    ¡°You don¡¯t tell, I don¡¯t tell, and Zhuo Ming won¡¯t tell either. But the people in your clan know about this as well. As long as I¡¯m in the Sect, the Luo Family won¡¯t dare to publicize this matter. Nonetheless, it remains a potential problem. If someone with ill intentions learns about this, they might report it to the Sect Leader.¡±


    ¡°If this matter is brought up in the future when I am competing for key positions in the twelve divisions of the three halls of the sect, it could cause a great deal of trouble, accusing me of disregarding the sect¡¯s well-being and prioritizing my own interests.¡±


    ¡°In fact, I don¡¯t really care about what your Luo family has sent, you came today, and you brought offerings, they¡¯re valuable enough, so that will do.¡±

    This principle was something Chen Mobai learned from his grandfather when he was a child. Every New Year, his grandpa, the village chief, would bring special fruits, vegetables, Spirit Rice, and Spiritual Wine from Green Mountain Village to the town leaders. Even if they didn¡¯t accept the modest gifts, he would still offer them every year.


    One of his phrases left a deep impression on Chen Mobai.


    Even if the leaders don¡¯t accept, you still have to offer.


    After sending Luo Yixuan, who was listening attentively, out of the front door, Zhuo Ming smacked herself in the forehead.


    If she had known a younger sister would come along today, she wouldn¡¯t have opened the door!

 Chapter 396 - Chapter 396: Chapter 298: Lamp Becomes Spirit_1

    Chapter 396: Chapter 298: Lamp Becomes Spirit_1


    Chen Mobai, who originally should have returned to South Mountain, stayed in Divine Wood City for two more days because he accepted Luo Yixuan as his disciple.


    One day, an elderly figure from the Luo family, who was at the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation, came to visit with the Luo siblings.


    This elder was named Luo Yuanxian. He was a figure second only to the Foundation Establishment cultivators in Luo family. He presented a Rank-3 Camelweed and two thousand Spirit Stones as Luo Yixuan¡¯s gifts to her teacher. Chen Mobai did not decline and accepted it without a second thought.


    However, Luo Yuanxian, having lived for a long time with thick skin, proposed after Chen Mobai accepted the gifts that Luo Yixiu also be accepted under South Mountain.


    The reason Luo Yuanxian mentioned made Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    He said that the two siblings had been very close since they were young. At first, it was Luo Yixiu who didn¡¯t want to separate from his sister, so the family arranged for both of them to join the Divine Wood Sect.


    Now that Luo Yixuan had the chance to be taken under the wing by Chen Mobai, why not fulfill the siblings¡¯ affection and let them not part ways on the path of future cultivation.


    Zhuo Ming who knew about the situation, barely maintained his composure.


    ¡°I myself am usually busy with my own cultivation, I¡¯m struggling to teach three disciples already, I wouldn¡¯t want to impede nephew Luo¡¯s future.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai did not directly reject the suggestion, Luo Yuanxian, an old and cunning man, immediately caught the refusal. All he could do was sigh and didn¡¯t dare to bring it up again.


    At this point, Luo Yixiu¡¯s handsome face turned red. After being repeatedly insulted, he didn¡¯t dare to argue back. He could only lower his head and keep his humiliation to himself.


    Fortunately, Liu Wenbo had been healing his injuries in seclusion since the sect competition, not present today, otherwise Luo Yixiu might have felt even more awkward.


    ¡°What does the sect think of my second uncle?¡±


    At last, Luo Yuanxian asked the matter he was most concerned about. Luo Shupin was his second uncle.


    The reason for the current status of the Luo family, apart from the Foundation Establishment ancestor of the family, was Luo Shupin, the foundation establishment elder of the Divine Wood Sect. The latter was more important.


    Without the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s support, their Luo family would just be a regular Foundation Establishment family.


    ¡°The sect doesn¡¯t have an official stance on this matter yet, and I shouldn¡¯t comment too much. However, the Sect Leader and the two Hall Masters are all fair and just. As long as elder Luo has not betrayed the sect, they will certainly clear his name.¡±


    A shortfall of eight thousand Spirit Stones is not a major issue. The Luo family could bear the loss with some gritted teeth.


    The key problem was that when the sect found out about this matter and sent a letter to Luo Shupin for explanation, the latter sent back an ambiguous and confusing report. When the Sect Leader asked him to return for questioning, he agreed in writing, but he stayed put in the Lei Nation.


    Therefore, he showed a lack of respect for the sect authority, ignoring the rules.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the Divine Wood Sect lost contact with Luo Shupin later, fearing that something strange was going on, the inspectors of the Penalty Evil Hall would have gone to the Luo family long ago.


    Luo Yuanxian felt quite satisfied to get this response from Chen Mobai.


    Before his visit, the clan head had already made up his mind. If Luo Shupin really had issues, then the Luo family would have to find ways to distance themselves from him.


    In the end, Luo Yuanxian left with Luo Yixiu.


    Of course, Luo Yixuan stayed behind.


    After becoming a disciple, she was like a married daughter.


    Although the Luo family was a little reluctant to let go of a relative with good looks and exceptional Spiritual Root Talent, linking up with the talented Foundation Establishment genius like Chen Mobai was ten times more beneficial to the family than marrying her off for an alliance.


    This was precisely why the Luo family would give two thousand Spirit Stones as a gift to Chen Mobai, after the Rank-3 medicinal herb.


    ¡°Xuan, you can take these Spirit Stones.¡±


    After Chen Mobai stowed the Camelweed inside his sleeve, he pointed to another storage bag. Naturally, Luo Yixuan declined, saying that this was the family¡¯s gift to the teacher, how could she take it.


    ¡°Take it. Your master is content with the herb. Consider this set of talismans a welcome gift from me.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai waved his hand at the table, and three Crimson Flame Sword Talismans landed neatly in Luo Yixuan¡¯s sight. She initially thought they were all the same type of talisman, but upon receiving them she discovered the difference.


    They were in fact a set of first, second, and third order talismans.


    This set of talismans totalled over a hundred Spirit Stones. Luo Yixuan¡¯s most prized possessions were only two Rank-2 talismans equivalent to the third order talismans.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    ¡°Now that your affairs are sorted out, if you don¡¯t want any connections with the Luo family in the future, just follow me back to South Mountain and focus on your cultivation. As long as your master is around, they dare not mess around.¡±

    Once Chen Mobai had said this, Luo Yixuan¡¯s eyes turned slightly red and she sobbed quietly. However, she quickly bowed and spoke in a previously unheard crisp voice.


    ¡°I will follow Master¡¯s arrangement.¡±


    Before leaving Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai first went to report to Chu Zuoshu, his direct superior, and got permission. Then he took Luo Yixuan to see familiar faces Yue Zutao, Yan Jinye and even Zeng Woyou. They generously gave talismans or elixirs as gifts.


    ¡°Xuan, your master believes that you are more competent than your senior sister in social interactions. In the future, you may need to socialize more with these few friends of your master.¡±


    The disciple and master were standing on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, flying to South Mountain, and Chen Mobai¡¯s words surprised Luo Yixuan a little.

 Chapter 397 - Chapter 397: Chapter 298 Incandescence Transforms into Spirit_2

    Chapter 397: Chapter 298 Incandescence Transforms into Spirit_2


    ¡°Senior Sister Zhuo has managed the South Mountain Shop with utmost meticulousness. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to do as well as her. Besides, isn¡¯t there still Senior Brother?¡±


    ¡°In front of me, there is no need for such caution.¡±


    Chen Mobai glared at her. Luo Yixuan lowered her head a little guiltily, squeezing the hem of her skirt pitifully.


    ¡°If Wen Bo advances in his cultivation level, I plan to let him venture outside our sect more often.¡±


    ¡°Zhuo Ming has become increasingly simple-minded over the years in the sect, and managing the sixty-acre Spirit Field along with the South Mountain Shop has been arduous for her. Let¡¯s not add more tasks to her load.¡±


    ¡°Mainly because all of these Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the sect are not simple. With your astuteness, you can understand the true meaning behind their words; this puts Master¡¯s mind at ease.¡±


    Upon hearing those words, Luo Yixuan could only nod in agreement. Still, she hesitantly said,


    ¡°Master, actually, I can be simple-minded, too.¡±


    In response, Chen Mobai just shook his head.


    What he was impressed with was Luo Yixuan not being naive, but astute. If this newly accepted disciple were simple-minded, she would not have made it through the gates of his South Mountain.


    ¡°Here we are. The wooden house at the foot of the mountain belongs to Zhuo Ming. You can live there, or you can build your own. I will be at the mountaintop during my meditations, and a Cloud Mist Array will usually seal the mountaintop. If you need me for anything, you can use the Message Talisman.¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai, bringing Luo Yixuan along, landed on the peak of South Mountain. He then took out a packet of Message Talismans that he had made himself from his storage bag and gave them to her.


    The sect sells these for one Spirit Stone each. However, since he is a Talisman Maker, naturally, he would not allow the sect to profit off him and his disciples.


    ¡°Tell me when you run out. By the way, what cultivation technique are you practicing?¡±


    After briefly introducing the situation around South Mountain, Chen Mobai asked Luo Yixuan about her cultivation practice.


    After all, as her master now, he needed to be concerned about these matters.


    ¡°I¡¯m practicing the Longevity Scripture and the Black Water Technique. Thanks to the Luo family¡¯s Spirit Stones and resources, I have already reached the 9th layer of Qi Cultivation.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised.


    Luo Yixuan was around his age, but her cultivation level was even more robust than Liu Wenbo¡¯s. She was probably not worse off than the top direct disciples. If she didn¡¯t hide her brilliance, she¡¯d likely have become a direct disciple two years ago.


    ¡°Water-Wood Techniques¡­dual-phase techniques, huh¡­¡±


    After listening to this, Chen Mobai became contemplative. It was similar to Liu Wenbo¡¯s situation, albeit different. If Luo Yixuan continued to cultivate like this based on her Spiritual Root, she might have strayed onto the wrong path.


    ¡°Does Master feel something is inappropriate? Do I need to change Cultivation Techniques? I will fully comply with Master¡¯s advice.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai like this, Luo Yixuan was quick to guess, and spoke out even before Chen Mobai could open his mouth.


    ¡°You girl, you¡¯re too shrewd.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head and gave a wry smile. Advising someone to discard a technique that had been diligently cultivated to the 9th layer of Qi Cultivation was hard to bring up, even for a master. But Luo Yixuan understood on her own and saved him from the trouble.


    ¡°You¡¯re a True Spirit Root of the Gold, Wood, and Water attributes. The Gold and Wood attributes are just about passable, but your Water Spirit Root is excellent. If you focus on cultivating the Black Water Technique, not only will you achieve more with less effort, but your chances of reaching Foundation Establishment will also be higher.¡±


    ¡°I understand. I will abandon the Longevity Scripture.¡±


    Having heard this, Luo Yixuan nodded, looking obedient.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you want to think it over? After all, training the Longevity Scripture to the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation must have cost you a lot of time and resources. Besides, dual-phase techniques are significantly beneficial for Core Formation. If you focus solely on the Black Water Technique, you will face Core Formation on your own.¡±


    Chen Mobai was somehow surprised, advising his new disciple to reconsider her choice.


    ¡°Master, I sensed this quite some time back. When I practiced the Black Water Technique, I felt rejuvenated, and the breakthroughs were smooth and straightforward.¡±


    ¡°When cultivating the Longevity Technique, although I can feel myself improving every moment, there¡¯s a certain satisfaction that does not quite match the comfort felt with the Dark Water spiritual power.¡±


    ¡°And the Core Formation stage you mentioned, I¡¯ve never considered it. For me, the greatest hope in this lifetime is merely the Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed after hearing these words from Luo Yixuan, who spoke with such seriousness. At a time when the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm could only dream about such things, his respect for his disciple increased even more.


    Despite her obedient nature, she had her own opinions.


    Her future was promising!


    ¡°If you choose to rotate between wood and water, the Longevity Spiritual Power will devour the Dark Water spiritual power. However, your Spiritual Root is compatible with Dark Water so I advise focusing on the Dark Water Cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Alternatively, you can abandon the Longevity Power and practice a gold attribute cultivation technique, rotating between gold and water.¡±


    ¡°But without the longevity added by the Longevity Technique, Core Formation with the two-phase technique is just a wishful thinking. So, I suggest that you focus on the Dark Water Cultivation which might lead to higher achievements.¡±


    Chen Mobai expressed his thoughts clearly. Listening to his perspective, Luo Yixuan was deeply moved.


    In the Tianhe Realm, the master-disciple inheritance has always been dictated by the master, with no explanations required.


    The premise here is that the masters¡¯ directives are absolute. The disciples merely have to follow them.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s gentle and sincere guidance was a new experience for Luo Yixuan, something she had never encountered growing up.


    ¡°Thank you for your guidance, master, I will remove my Longevity Spiritual Power.¡±


    If her previous agreement was merely to please Chen Mobai, Luo Yixuan¡¯s current commitment was sincere.


    ¡°Mm, having such a well-behaved disciple makes a teacher¡¯s job easier. By the way, with your current cultivation level, you must have consumed quite a lot of concoctions, right?¡±


    Compared to the students in the cultivation schools, Tianhe Realm cultivators are incredibly obedient which made Chen Mobai¡¯s job easier, but also led him to ask the question he was most worried about.


    Tianhe Realm cultivators have a tung tunnel vision towards the pursuit of power, often neglecting the importance of overdosing on concoctions. They believe that as their cultivation level increases, the body will naturally metabolize these overdoses.


    ¡°Master, I honestly relied heavily on concoctions to achieve my current cultivation level.¡±


    Luo Yixuan honestly admitted. Besides her own talent, her current cultivation level of nine layers also relied heavily on the Spirit Stones and concoctions provided by the Luo family.


    ¡°In the future, it would be better if you refrain from consuming concoctions whenever possible. Give me your hand.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave a reminder, but he also knew that consumption of concoctions was inevitable in the Tianhe Realm, thus he did not mandate it.


    However, since Luo Yixuan was now his disciple, he planned to give her a small assistance.


    Without any hesitation, she extended her right hand immediately, thoughtfully rolling up her thin, palace-style sleeves to expose her arm, fair and gracefully rounded like lotus roots.


    Chen Mobai instructed Luo Yixuan to activate the Longevity Technique, and then he used two of his fingers to check her pulse. He placed his fingers accurately on the key points of the Longevity Technique¡¯s circulation.


    Luo Yixuan felt a warm energy flowing from Chen Mobai¡¯s fingertips into her Longevity Spiritual Power. The energy began to spread, gently dissolving and transforming her Spiritual Power, just like a slowly burning source of heat.

    After a full cycle of the Longevity Technique, she felt an unprecedented pure spiritual force integrating into her Dantian and Qi Sea, and gradually merging with her Dark Water spiritual power. The feeling was one of thorough invigoration as if a great load had been lifted off her.


    Back then, when Chen Mobai was converting his Five Elements Cultivation into the Pure Yang Scroll, his mentor gave him the Flame Lighting Technique, which became the initiating spark inside his body.


    Not only did this aid Chen Mobai¡¯s technique transformation, but it also helped him refine his spiritual power previously buoyed by conjurations. Although it caused his spiritual capacity to shrink slightly, the resulting Pure Yang spiritual power was extremely pure and solid at its core.


    In the end, he even used this technique to achieve Foundation Establishment, receiving the Fire Spirit Body.


    Since Luo Yixuan had quite a bit of toxicity from the concoctions in her spiritual power, and also needed to remove her Longevity spiritual power, Chen Mobai decided to try his Flame Lighting Technique. As expected, it worked wonders.

 Chapter 398 - Chapter 398: Chapter 299: Short Teleportation Talisman_1

    Chapter 398: Chapter 299: Short Teleportation Talisman_1


    With the help of Chen Mobai¡¯s Flame Lighting Technique, Luo Yixuan sat with her eyes closed on the top of Xiao Nanshan.


    She cultivated the Water Wood Technique, connecting the two elements in her dantian¡¯s Qi Sea. The Black Water Spiritual Power transformed into a ripple-like pool, and the Longevity Spiritual Power turned into a piece of green wood rooted on the edge of the ripple.


    The green wood absorbed water, but at this moment, a point of light resembling a miniature sun landed within the wood.


    This was the manifestation of Chen Mobai¡¯s Flame Lighting Technique, and it would serve as the fire seed.


    While it slowly consumed the Longevity Spiritual Power, it also refined out the deeply ingrained toxicity from the Dan, leaving only the purest Wood Attribute Spiritual Power to be absorbed by the Black Water Spiritual Power. This process furthered enhanced Luo Yixuan¡¯s foundation.


    Chen Mobai sat on a wooden chair at the top of the mountain and took out a teapot. By using water condensation and ignition techniques, a pot of boiling water was quickly prepared.


    Watching Luo Yixuan sitting on the grass, her creamy skin glowing in aqua and crimson hues, he nodded with satisfaction.


    This signified the successful implantation of his Flame Lighting Technique into his disciple¡¯s dantian.


    However, his cultivation level was not as advanced as the man in the red robe, so this technique could only last for about seven days. After seven days, the fire seed of the Flame Lighting Technique in Luo Yixuan¡¯s dantian would be exhausted.


    By then, he would have to replant it, which could prove troublesome for him.


    He couldn¡¯t help but admire the man in the red robe who had simply planted a flame that lasted in his dantian for six months when he initially cultivated the Five Elements Technique.


    The gap between Foundation Establishment and Core Formation was indeed vast.


    Just as he was about to finish his pot of tea, Luo Yixuan finished circulating her energy and opened her eyes, shining brightly.


    ¡°Thank you, Master, for bestowing me this technique.¡±


    Rising, she felt as invigorated as if she¡¯d enjoyed a refreshing bath. She was about to bow deeply to Chen Mobai in gratitude, but he stopped her.


    ¡°Stand up. I¡¯m quite casual. No need for such formalities.¡±


    After lifting Luo Yixuan up out of thin air, Chen Mobai motioned for her to extend her hand over for a pulse check, intending to see if he could stack the Flame Lighting Technique to avoid administering it every seven days.


    However, halfway through the test, Luo Yixuan¡¯s normally translucent and smooth complexion suddenly turned very red. She started to break out in sweat. Large beads of perspiration seeped from her pure white skin, soaking her white palace dress. The damp clothing clung to her body, revealing her delicate and charming curves.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me you were feeling unwell?¡±


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai withdrew the spiritual power of the Flame Lighting Technique that had just entered Luo Yixuan¡¯s body, then immediately took his fingers off her wrist.


    ¡°Receiving the grace of my master, how could I refuse due to some minor discomfort?¡±


    Luo Yixuan breathed lightly, her sweaty face glowing with jade-like radiance. As she spoke, she couldn¡¯t help using her long sleeves to wipe the sweat from her forehead and cheeks.


    ¡°Alright, as your master, I will take you down the mountain. Rest well. Once the effect of the Flame Lighting Technique dissipates, come up the mountain again.¡±


    Observing alert by Luo Yixuan sweating profusely, Chen Mobai unfurled a ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± from his wrist. It spread into mist, obscuring her sweat-drenched body from sight except for her head.


    The mist then lifted them both, transforming into a cloud and flying down from Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°You stay with Zhuo Ming for now.¡±


    After Chen Mobai delivered Luo Yixuan to a wooden house at the foot of the mountain, he pointed to the house of his second disciple. Once Luo Yixuan jumped off the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, she instinctively began to show deep respect again.


    ¡°Your esteemed presence, Master, fills this disciple with trepidation.¡±


    However, remembering Chen Mobai¡¯s words, she switched her deep bow to a slight curtsy. Still, her words were as respectful as ever.


    ¡°Don¡¯t cultivate these few days, take care of your health first. After the effect of the Flame Lighting Technique has worn off, resume cultivating. If anything happens, use the Message Talisman to tell me, and don¡¯t hesitate.¡±


    After leaving these words, Chen Mobai turned and flew up Xiao Nanshan on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±.


    Luo Yixuan watched his retreating figure. The obedient expression on her face dissipated, replaced with a slightly bewildered look.


    This teacher was unlike any other she had ever encountered.


    He seemed different from the Immortal Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness. He didn¡¯t have the imposing aura of oppression that normally accompanied a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. Despite being the most outstanding genius in the Divine Wood Sect for the past hundred years, he did not exhibit the overbearing pride of Mu Yuan and his brother. He was as warm-hearted and tranquil as jade, nothing seeming to disturb his tranquillity.


    Perhaps, this was the mark of a true Immortal.


    Compared to her master, the other True Disciples in the Sect were like stones compared to fine jade.


    Luo Yixuan watched Chen Mobai, who was now just a tiny spot in the sky. Silently, she clenched her fist, thinking that she had indeed chosen the right person to rely on this time.


    Ever since Luo Shupin¡¯s mishap, the Luo family had been beset with difficulties. Whether the family would survive depended on the ruling of the higher-ups in the Divine Wood Sect. Luo Yixuan¡¯s initial reaction had been to abandon ship.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, she had been part of the Luo family since birth, and that label was as much a part of her as her surname.


    As long as the deficit in the Spirit Stone Mine in the Lei Nation was not resolved, no one in the Divine Wood Sect would risk linking themselves to her or her brother.


    In this crucial moment, Chen Mobai appeared.


    She cleverly seized this lone opportunity and successfully aroused his sympathetic heart with her tale of woe.


    Interestingly, Luo Yixuan had initially been planning on revealing her true cultivation level to Chen Mobai, but it turned out he had already seen through her from the beginning.

 Chapter 399 - Chapter 399: Chapter 299: Short Teleportation Talisman_2

    Chapter 399: Chapter 299: Short Teleportation Talisman_2


    That would be better; after all, deliberate actions often leave traces and might end up revealing her intentions, resulting in repulsion.


    Initially Luo Yixuan only wanted to find a backer to avoid being affected should the Luo family collapse.


    But after honestly becoming a disciple and interacting, she wondered if her unhappy childhood was actually destined for this turning point.


    She could hardly believe that such a talented and responsible mentor exists in this world.


    If she had known earlier, she would have implored him back at Bud Hall, no, at Southstream Market. That way, she would have been the eldest disciple now.


    [Eh, wait a minute, mom once told me that men prefer younger ones, being the youngest disciple might be even better.]


    Luo Yixuan thought to herself, determinately resolving not to be expelled from Xiao Nanshan. She would demonstrate her worth!


    The behaviour of concealing her abilities for half of her life should change now. She will aim to attain a true disciple position in the sect¡¯s annual competition next year to honour her master.


    However, Chen Mobai was completely oblivious to his youngest disciple¡¯s inner turmoil.


    After climbing the mountain, he activated the Cloud Mist Array to seal the peak and then returned to the Immortal Gate through the Turtle Treasure.


    He traded this year¡¯s study points for a Vermillion Fruit which he gave to Wang Xingyu, along with three Bamboo Fruits and Spiritual Extracts he acquired from Zeng Woyou. However, he still needed two more Vermillion Fruits and ran out of study points.


    But Chen Mobai had a plan. He couldn¡¯t let his power as the Student Council president go to waste.


    Treasure Trove, Student Council¡¯s central square.


    Nearly half of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from the Dance Tool Dao Academy had gathered.


    As it was the end of the year, they could exchange study points for Device Pieces to unlock the Device Nurturing Sphere.


    However, this year many students looking to unlock spheres went stirring relationships trying to get Chen Mobai¡¯s help.


    At the end of last year, he helped Ming Yuhua unveil a Mysterious Yang Cauldron which made him famous. After all, Chen Mobai outshone Ming Yu, the vice-president of the Student Council who was rumored to be the top Spirit Eye in the Daoist Academy.


    Because of this incident, the Student Council¡¯s reputation plummeted.


    If it were not for the previous president, Zuo Qiushi, who selflessly convinced Chen Mobai to take his position and become the Student Council president, there would hardly be any Foundation Establishment True Cultivators in the Dance Tool Dao Academy taking the Student Council seriously now.


    And this year, the opening of Little Red Sky, with Chen Mobai, the undefeated chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, known as the ¡°Battle Law Victory¡±, made his reputation soar.


    It¡¯s for this reason that the True Cultivators seeking favors from Chen Mobai offered quite decent gifts.


    ¡°This Short Teleportation Talisman is from Senior Jing Zuyin. He was also in the Student Council, but he graduated several years ago and wants you to help with a few Device Nurturing Spheres.¡±


    In the president¡¯s office on the third floor, Chen Mobai patted the little white cat in his arms, his desk full of gift boxes. Hua Zijing, seated opposite, unwrapped one of them and took out a silver, shining talisman, introducing with a look of envy.


    ¡°You¡¯re still lacking professional experience. If we really need to help senior Jing Zuyin, you should have started by showing me a few very ordinary things that I wouldn¡¯t be interested in. When I became disappointed, reveal this Short Teleportation Talisman. This way, the mission would have been practically accomplished.¡±


    Seeing Hua Zijing¡¯s full-of-traces speech, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but think of his own little disciple. The comparison just showed how enormous the gap was.


    But he can¡¯t blame Hua Zijing, after all, she has only gained experience in the small group of the Student Council for five to six years only. On the other hand, Luo Yixuan had spent more than twenty years in the cruel Immortal Cultivation world of the Tianhe Realm in fear.


    The knack she cultivated in that environment certainly outmatched Hua Zijing¡¯s.


    ¡°Just tell me if you can help.¡±


    Being looked down upon by Chen Mobai, Hua Zijing was frustrated and slapped the Short Teleportation Talisman on the table, grumbling.


    Seeking help from others is indeed not her forte. If it wasn¡¯t for Jing Zuyin treating her well when she just joined the Student Council, she wouldn¡¯t have done this.


    ¡°Of course I will help. This Small Teleportation Talisman is the most popular talisman in the Rank-2 class. It deals with the Space Path. Since senior Jing gave out this, it¡¯s not just a few Device Nurturing Spheres. Even if it were ten of those spheres, I¡¯ll help him appraise them.¡±


    The Small Teleportation Talisman is the best-selling Rank-2 talisman at the Immortal Gate. When used, it would teleport the user to a previously set location.


    Moreover, it¡¯s not a one-time thing¡ªit can be used repeatedly.


    This is akin to a simplified version of the Turtle Treasure; first, mark a place, then use the Short Teleportation Talisman, and you can teleport there anytime, anywhere.


    However, the distance is limited, generally only within a hundred kilometers.


    Even so, it¡¯s the favorite of many Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    Because there are always occasions when urgency is met, using the Short Teleportation Talisman at these times can allow them to quickly return home, to work, or to school.


    After all, a hundred kilometers is already enough to encompass half of the Crimson City cave sky.


    After receiving it, Chen Mobai set it up on the spot in this office. He planned to go back to his wooden house tonight and try this Short Teleportation Talisman and Turtle Treasure¡¯s teleportation difference tomorrow morning.


    Upon hearing this, Hua Zijing immediately said that Jing Zuyin was already waiting in the meeting room on the second floor, and the Student Union officials like Ming Yu were also there. They said they wanted to observe the president¡¯s great skills and learn a lot.


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t afraid of them stealing his techniques, after all, this Void Spirit Eye was purely cultivated by resources with no tricks.


    Jing Zuyin has a scraggly beard. It seemed he had been secluded in the Treasure Trove for a bit too long, as two holes were worn in his clothes. But his personality was similar to Zuo Qiushi¡¯s, being direct and straightforward. Upon seeing Chen Mobai enter the room, he immediately placed the six Device Nurturing Spheres he brought onto the table.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t waste any time. After checking all of them for him, he compared them with the image data in the Map of Treasures and confirmed four of them.


    The other two were not in the Map of Treasures, but based on the shape of the magic artifact seen by the Void Spirit Eye, the Student Union compared it with the records of the graduating classes and still came up with results, effectively supplementing the Map of Treasures with information on two artifacts.


    Jing Zuyin was also astounded by this, acknowledging that hearing about something is not as good as seeing it. Chen Mobai¡¯s Art of Spiritual Eyes could even rank among the top level of Foundation Establishment stage in the entire Immortal Gate.


    Eventually, Jing Zuyin chose a Rank-2 top-grade Pine Stone Inkstone Stage. He came to the balcony of the Student Union¡¯s Western-style building with the Device Nurturing Sphere. According to the annual tradition, he inserted the Device Piece in front of everyone in the square.


    The result was naturally identical to what Chen Mobai saw with his Void Spirit Eye.


    After the Fire Godlight disappeared, a green inkstone stage with exquisite stone quality, silky texture, and refined ink color landed in Jing Zuyin¡¯s hands.


    He is a Rank-2 Talisman Maker. This inkstone stage complements his abilities perfectly.


    After this great start, Chen Mobai was ready to reap the benefits.


    The True Cultivators of the Daoist Academy who had exchanged for the Device Pieces this year had all spent a hundred study points and naturally wanted to make the best use of them, not wanting to waste the large investment that had taken so hard to accumulate over the years.


    This was a sunk cost.


    Chen Mobai instructed Hua Zijing to return all the gifts except for the Short Teleportation Talisman to the givers. It¡¯s not because he is upright and doesn¡¯t want to accept gifts, but because he believes it should be a long-term transaction, allowing it to flow continuously at a slow pace.


    ¡°Would they agree to this?¡±


    Hua Zijing looked sceptical after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    ¡°You can convey my intentions. Those who agree will naturally be willing to come to us.¡±


    The condition for Chen Mobai to help people see Device Nurturing Spheres with his Void Spirit Eye was simple, just like the Map of Treasures. As one of the symbols of the Student Union, each use costs one study point.


    It was fortunate that he was now the president of the Student Union and controlled the Map of Treasures, and held the authority to trade study points. Otherwise, even if the Void Spirit Eye technique was cultivated to the top level, he would not be able to trade for study points from other True Cultivators.

    As expected, after the news that Chen Mobai would examine one Device Nurturing Sphere for one study point was released, the doors of the Student Union were soon trampled flat.


    At the entrance to Chen Mobai¡¯s office, the True Cultivators who had exchanged Device Pieces this year lined up in an orderly fashion despite Hua Zijing¡¯s disbelief. Some held two or three Device Nurturing Spheres, while others carried a whole sackful, probably around a dozen or more.


    Hua Zijing counted; there were sixteen people, equivalent to the number of Device Pieces exchanged by the academy this year.


    That is to say, apart from a few people who just established their foundation this year, the rest were all here.


    The President is going to make a fortune!

 Chapter 400 - Chapter 400: Chapter 300 Foundation Establishment Level 2_1

    Chapter 400: Chapter 300 Foundation Establishment Level 2_1


    After exhausting an entire day, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes had turned red from inspecting every single one of the 16 Device Nurturing Spheres.


    However, his effort was rewarded.


    Seeing the additional 86 credits deposited into his students¡¯ account, Chen Mobai rubbed his sore, tearful eyes and dropped a couple drops of freshly made Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew into them.


    After producing a considerable amount of this spiritual water, along with the effects of the Spiritual Extract, Wang Xingyu had already mastered the art of concocting it.


    Just as Chen Mobai was closing his eyes to rest, a brilliant, flaming red light shone from outside the window, reminiscent of the brilliant fireworks on New Year¡¯s Eve.


    This was the scene of one of the true cultivators at the Foundation Establishment level, after identifying the Magic Artifact within the Device Nurturing Sphere, couldn¡¯t wait to activate it.


    Chen Mobai turned his chair in the direction of the window, enjoying the annual spectacle within the Treasure Trove.


    ¡°The Divine Wind Sword! It really is the Divine Wind Sword, hahaha¡­¡±


    A chilling sword Qi roared into the sky and along with the green light that coiled like a dragon, transformed into a clear, water-like flying sword, held in the palm of a puny-looking youth.


    He was a tenth grader from the Sword Control Department, known as Zou Siliang. Since his admission, he had diligently practiced swordsmanship, saving up credits for ten long years, all for the purpose of acquiring a decent sword.


    The Device Piece given to him by the academy upon reaching the Foundation Establishment level turned into an Iron Wing Staff due to his lack of experience at the time.


    Later, he saved up a hundred credits to exchange for another Device Piece. He sought advice from Mingyu Palm Eye. Unfortunately, at that time, the latter had just started studying the Art of Spiritual Eyes. Although he saw it was long in shape, he still accidentally activated a Suppression Ruler.


    This year, Zou Siliang had once again accumulated enough credits. After exchanging for another Device Piece and still having some leftover, he directly brought five Device Nurturing Spheres to ask Chen Mobai for help in inspecting them.


    What¡¯s more, after two previous disappointments, the Device Nurturing Spheres he collected this time surprisingly contained three flying swords, a stick, and a hook-shaped magic artifact.


    After Chen Mobai finished inspecting them, Zou Siliang spent another 2 credits to consult the Map of Treasures, indirectly also generating revenue for the student council.


    All three flying swords were listed on the Map of Treasures. Among them, this Divine Wind Sword was ranked the highest, being the life-bound flying sword of a genius swordsman from Dance Tool Dao Academy, who had the wind Spiritual Root.


    This genius swordsman had attempted Core Formation twice, and although he failed both attempts, his Divine Wind Sword was still considered top-notch among Rank-2 artifacts.


    Zou Siliang¡¯s validation of Chen Mobai¡¯s keen eyes instantly convinced the remaining hesitant cultivators to make their decision.


    One after another, the Fire Godlight lit up, revealing magic artifacts exuding radiant spiritual light and interwoven with spiritual patterns.


    The Red Phoenix Shield¡­


    The Purple Mu Robe¡­


    The Tornado Spear¡­


    The Qing Ruyi¡­


    The Wind Breaking Ring¡­


    The No Light Cover¡­


    The Thousand Sounds Fan¡­


    The cultivators on the square who recognized the origins of the Magic Artifacts each called out the names of the Magic Artifacts that emerged from the Device Nurturing Spheres, their voices full of envy.


    These were mostly upper-tier Rank-2 artifacts, and one of them was, like the Divine Wind Sword, a top-tier Rank-2 artifact.


    Only that Qing Ruyi was of intermediate quality within Rank-2, but it was also due to the choice of the Device Piece¡¯s owner. This senior, named Ren Yuanjun, needed an artifact to nourish his Purple Palace because he encountered problems with his Divine Consciousness while practicing a certain Art of Divine Consciousness.


    However, his Device Nurturing Sphere did not contain such an artifact. Fortunately, the Qing Ruyi was present in a Device Nurturing Sphere that Chen Mobai had identified earlier.


    In line with the principle of providing full service, Chen Mobai called back the female student who owned the Qing Ruyi, explained the situation, and the latter very understandingly gave her Device Nurturing Sphere, which sealed the Qing Ruyi, to Ren Yuanjun for a nominal exchange of ten thousand Good Deed Points.


    Because this student was certain that she would activate a Rank-2 upper-grade Purple Mu Robe, she would never activate the Qing Ruyi in her lifetime.


    However, the reality was that Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation was vast indeed. Otherwise, anyone else desperately in need of the Qing Ruyi would probably have to pay a hefty transfer fee.


    This matter, following the activation of the Qing Ruyi, was soon spread by Ren Yuanjun. In no time, that female student earned a reputation for generosity and goodwill.


    Moreover, besides the label of being invincible in magic duels, Chen Mobai also added the new image of being enthusiastic, kind-hearted, and helpful.


    A myriad of magical artifacts bathed in radiant light rose into the sky once the red divine light faded, held in the hands of the overjoyed Foundation Establishment cultivators, weaving a stunning spectacle of spiritual light fireworks¡ªutterly brilliant and beautiful.


    Meanwhile, the seven cultivators who hadn¡¯t activated their Device Nurturing Spheres even after identification all looked at them with longing eyes.


    After Chen Mobai had examined the Device Nurturing Spheres they brought with his Void Spirit Eye, he realized that the artifacts sealed within were not what they wanted nor suited them. Therefore, they still held on to their Device Pieces, waiting until they found suitable Device Nurturing Spheres before coming back for identification.


    However, regardless of whether or not they activated the spheres, Chen Mobai had already earned his credits.

    When the riotous celebration in the square finally subsided, Chen Mobai greeted Hua Zijing before leaving the Treasure Trove, finding Luo Hezheng to exchange for two Vermillion Fruits and a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir.


    ¡°Don¡¯t advance your cultivation too quickly. With your talent, you¡¯re practically guaranteed to reach the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. A steady foundation will increase your chances of successful Core Formation.¡± warned Luo Hezheng seriously, as he exchanged a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Yes, thank you for the reminder, Teacher Luo.¡±


    Even though he said that, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t take it to heart.


    Within the immortal path, both the Steady Foundation Faction, and the Realm Supremacy Faction have stoked numerous debates throughout cultivation¡¯s long history.

 Chapter 401 - Chapter 401: Chapter 300 Foundation Establishment 2nd Level_2

    Chapter 401: Chapter 300 Foundation Establishment 2nd Level_2


    The Foundation Faction believes in taking steady steps to reach the peak.


    However, the Realm Faction believes in limited lifespan, and expects to elevate their realm within the shortest possible time. After all, the higher the realm, the longer the lifespan. And when the realm can¡¯t be further elevated, they slowly make up the foundation and cultivate other skills later, creating breakthroughs.


    Without a doubt, Chen Mobai is a supporter of the Realm Faction.


    After all, he has ample resources to build up his realm first. And when he just about hits the bottleneck of advancing into the major realm, he would cross the widespread obstacles of Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and other stages considered mountainous to cultivators.


    Anyway, this is how Chen Mobai successfully crossed the Foundation Establishment stage. So he plans to elevate himself to the Perfection of foundation first, then find ways to collect Golden Elixir spiritual medicines and use them in combination with the Dual-Phase technique.


    Even if his own foundation is somewhat weak by then, the five-percent probability to complete the Core Formation through the combined use of liquid gold jade rebirth pill and Dual-Phase technique should be good enough, especially if the first attempt fails, he should succeed on the second try according to probability theory.


    After leaving Luo Hezheng¡¯s office, Chen Mobai went upstairs to meet his teacher, Che Yucheng.


    The meetings between this mentor and his disciple decreased over the year.


    Mainly because Chen Mobai spent most of the past year cultivating in seclusion, with the stable expansion of his Little Red Sky, his Yuan Yang sword has also been requisitioned by Gongye Zhixu according to Che Yucheng¡¯s plan.


    As the Dance Tool Daoist Academy had no problems, Che Yucheng didn¡¯t have to guide Chen Mobai, leaving him to comfortably cultivate with the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    ¡°Given your annual improvements, you actually look like a top student now,¡± Che Yucheng said with restrained satisfaction after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation progress. Chen Mobai laughed awkwardly, he had initially thought his pace of cultivation was quite fast.


    However, among the four major Dao academies, most of those from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy are from the Realm Faction, notoriously known for quickly elevating their realms.


    The main reasons for this are ¡°The Union of Differences¡± and the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method that sprang from this divine metaphysical method. And the multitude of magic artifacts in the Treasure Trove added to their mastery.


    By making use of the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method, Chen Mobai continuously draws on the pure yang essence within the Hexayang Divine Fire Mirror, coupled with an ample supply of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, he advances one realm every year. This is just barely catching up with the average level achieved by the top students in the history of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯ve been toiling away in the Little Red Sky for the academy this year, and brought glory back to our Dance Tool Dao. I heard from Wang Xingyu that in a few days, the alchemy department will have a pool of Rank-2 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water ready. Do you think you could speak to Master Luo for me¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai revealed the main reason for his visit, of course, Che Yucheng agreed to this small but totally legal and legitimate request.


    After all, the Dance Tool Dao had scored the highest points in Little Red Sky this year, thanks to Chen Mobai¡¯s Battle Law Victory, which held the top position for the longest time. This merit can easily be converted into some Qi-replenishing Spirit Water exchange quota even if it were brought up with the principal; it¡¯s reasonable.


    ¡°Once the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water is ready, look for Luo Hezheng. I¡¯ll let him reserve a liter for you. But this time, you need to exchange it with your own points.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    A liter of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water is worth 10 points. After Chen Mobai exchanged two Vermillion Fruits and a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir, he will still have 16 points left on his student card, more than enough.


    After leaving Che Yucheng¡¯s place, Chen Mobai went to see his good pal, Yunyang Bing.


    ¡°Here, be sure to return it when you¡¯re done.¡±


    Yunyang Bing handed a cloth bag to Chen Mobai. It was a special spirit gathering array he meticulously researched, capable of elevating a top-grade Rank-3 Spirit Vein to lower-grade Rank-4.


    This spirit gathering array was one of the factors in Ming Yuhua¡¯s success in achieving Foundation Establishment last year.


    ¡°Thanks, brother. I¡¯ll buy you a drink when I break through.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t bother. Like I said, if I don¡¯t achieve Foundation Establishment, I¡¯m not touching alcohol in this lifetime.¡±


    Yunyang Bing declined with a cold face.


    In the Metaphysical Class, two more individuals achieved Foundation Establishment this year. Among the three cultivators of the 5012 Pure Yang Scroll, Yunyang Bing was the only one yet to have done so, causing him considerable pressure recently.


    He made up his mind to put his research on formations on hold, and dedicate himself solely to achieve Foundation Establishment from next year onwards.


    However, he had already understood the Edge Method this year, so Chen Mobai felt that even without trying hard, Yunyang Bing should be able to achieve Foundation Establishment quite easily next year.


    The annual gathering of the Metaphysical Class was canceled this year because most of them felt the pressure. When Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua achieved Foundation Establishment, they were still comforting themselves that they would catch up.


    But earlier this year, after Lan Yufan successfully achieved Foundation Establishment by severing his lingering romantic attachment, everyone started to panic.


    The remaining four who understood the Edge Method all rented rooms in Building No.9 for a year and took an oath in the group that they wouldn¡¯t come out unless they had succeeded in achieving Foundation Establishment.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But when the end of the year arrived, not one of them had come out.


    Instead, after breaking up with her boyfriend, Lu Zixuan, who drastically changed her temperament, forced herself to break into the Foundation Building Realm without understanding the Edge Method and succeeded.


    Regarding this, Chen Mobai could only remark how extreme the two of them were. The fact that strong emotional stimulation was needed for them to achieve Foundation Establishment made their progress less steady than his own natural process.


    After receiving the Spirit Gathering Array from Yunyang Bing, Chen Mobai also checked into Building No.9.


    Sitting cross-legged on the soft carpet, he cast his Divine Sense out of his body, placing the Array Plate and the eight Array Flags at the appropriate positions. In an instant, Chen Mobai felt as if the originally dense spiritual energy had been sucked out in the blink of an eye, becoming extremely rarefied.

 Chapter 402 - Chapter 402: Chapter 300 Foundation Establishment Level 2_3

    Chapter 402: Chapter 300 Foundation Establishment Level 2_3


    This Spirit Gathering Array works by storing the spiritual energy that would normally be released over a long period of time, and then detonating it all at once, creating the illusion of being in a vein of higher rank spirit.


    Therefore, before it is activated, it needs some time to absorb spiritual energy.


    Taking advantage of this time, Chen Mobai took out his Small Barrier Breaking Elixir.


    He held up his phone, silently snapping a picture of the formula on the bottom of the package. If he were to sell this thing in the Tianhe Realm, he reckoned it would cause a bidding war amongst all the major factions.


    But at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, this pill was only worth 30 academic credits.


    Among Rank-2 elixirs, the Barrier Breaking Pill and Qi-replenishing Spirit Water were the bestsellers. As a result, the Alchemy Department of the Dance Tool Dao Academy would make them every year, ensuring there were always some Barrier Breaking Pills in the storeroom to prevent students from being unable to exchange them when needed.


    It was a pity that the academy only had the materials to make Small Barrier Breaking Elixirs, not the Big Barrier Breaking Pill.


    However, unlike the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, it wasn¡¯t as valuable. If the medicine factories of the four main Daoist Academies combined efforts, they could still make it.


    Back when there was no Little Red Sky, the top ten colleges of the four Daoist Academies would engage in friendly exchanges and sparring sessions every three years.


    If the talks were successful, there would be occasions where they would cooperate to produce elixirs.


    In the past twenty years, the Big Breakthrough Pill had been successfully produced three times under these circumstances.


    Chen Mobai calculated the time. The last occasion was just two years ago. Zuo Qiushi represented the home team and challenged representatives from these three major Daoist Academies. With his Rank-7 Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level, he barely maintained the reputation of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    This meant that the next event would be the following year, but it was still unclear which Daoist Academy would host.


    At this thought, Chen Mobai felt invigorated.


    As the chief of the Dao Academy, he must lead the team in participation. Given his current fame, he would be in the spotlight no matter which Dao Academy he went to.


    He hoped it would be at the Jumang Dao Academy, where he intended to support his friend, Qing Nu.


    At this moment, the Array Plate of the Spirit Gathering Array before him lit up with spiritual light, signalling that it was fully charged and ready to be activated.


    Chen Mobai wasted no time, pointing a finger to activate it.


    As the dense spiritual energy rushed towards him, he tore open the plastic seal of the Small Barrier Breaking Elixir and swallowed the small black pill.


    The pure and concentrated spiritual energy was like a solid substance, absorbed bit by bit through Chen Mobai¡¯s seven orifices. His eyes closed, and his whole body began to radiate a rosy glow. The Pure Yang Spiritual Power, boosted by his Fire Spirit Body, turned into waves and began to assault the bottleneck in his Dantian.


    Usually, the Realm bottleneck would gradually loosen under constant impact, from being rigid to loose, until it is completely broken through.


    This was Chen Mobai¡¯s first attempt, so his bottleneck was still very rigid. Faced with the incoming Pure Yang Spiritual Power, his Dantian barely wavered and showed no signs of loosening.


    However, at that moment, the potency of the Barrier Breaking Pill began to permeate the surroundings of his Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea.


    In an instant, the rigid bottleneck started to slowly dissolve, like snow under the sun or lumps of soil falling into water.


    Chen Mobai seized this opportunity. Using his Divine Sense to control the Pure Yang Spiritual Power, he quickly broke through to Rank-2 Foundation Establishment.


    His Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea expanded by one third, allowing him to store more spiritual power.


    After his breakthrough, he didn¡¯t relax. His Divine Sense remained taut, repeatedly operating the Pure Yang Scroll. The Dao Academy Library contained many records of failed breakthrough experiences.


    The most common mistake was not sufficiently reinforcing a new Realm after a breakthrough, resulting in the opening in the bottleneck closing again and a fall in the Realm.


    By this time, the spiritual energy stored in the Spirit Gathering Array was depleted during the breakthrough process, and the pressure of the Rank-3 top-grade spiritual energy in the room even began to decline.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This was the Achilles¡¯ heel of the Yunyang Ice Formation.


    But Chen Mobai was prepared. He shattered the two intermediate-grade Spirit Stones that had been placed on the Array Plate earlier.


    In an instant, the Spirit Gathering Array glowed even brighter, even more so than when it started.


    Three days later.


    A refreshed and stable Chen Mobai walked out of his room, shouting ¡°checkout¡± very loudly to the two student workers at the front desk.

 Chapter 403 - Chapter 403: Chapter 301 Separation_1

    Chapter 403: Chapter 301 Separation_1


    After breaking through to the second level of Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai was eager to share the good news with his friends.


    However, despite searching throughout the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he found himself uncertain who to share it with.


    This year, Ming Yuhua joined a major project, working alongside the top students of the Refining Implement Department to refine a Rank-4 large equipment magic artifact under an order from Gongye Zhixu, effectively a mission from the Immortal Sect.


    He had left the Daoist Academy in the middle of the year and has not returned up to present.


    After receiving two more Vermillion Fruits from Chen Mobai, Wang Xingyu had started refining pills in his medicinal pool while Chen was secluded for cultivation advancement. It was estimated that it would take some time before the refining process was completed.


    The other students of the Metaphysical Class has also been stimulated by stress, choosing to go into reclusive cultivation during the break.


    Only Yunyang Bing could be reached, but Chen Mobai felt it would be inappropriate to show off in front of him. After all, his Spirit Gathering Array has been of great help in Chen¡¯s breakthrough.


    After returning the Array Plate and Array Flag, Chen Mobai walked through the academy, looking at the youthful and spirited path filled with students, and felt a sincerer sense of loneliness.


    Posting on the friend circle was something that Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t bring himself to do unless drinking.


    He opened the friend page on his phone, scrolling up and down, and paused when he saw a few avatars of friends he hadn¡¯t contacted in a long time.


    He remembered that he still owed Wanyu a tube of lipstick.


    He immediately sent her a message asking if she was at school during the break.


    Wanyu replied immediately with great surprise.


    But sadly, she had gone home this year and was not in Crimson City Cave Heaven.


    In response, Chen Mobai could only regretfully shake his head. However, the message he sent back was very polite, stating that he would ask her out when he was free.


    On the other side of the phone, Wanyu, who was lying on her bed with her long, beautiful legs crossed, was playing with her phone in annoyance.


    ¡°Damn, why did I have to go home this year!¡±


    Unaware of this, Chen Mobai contacted a few other friends. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the cabin he rented.


    Lifting his eyes, the villa on the mountaintop was still deserted.


    Meng Huang has not returned for half a year. No one knows what motivated her this semester, but she attempted to achieve Foundation Establishment without understanding the Boundary Law.


    Unfortunately, she wasn¡¯t Lu Zixuan, who had gone through a deep emotional shock from a breakup, and ultimately failed.


    Chen Mobai only learned of this later from the student council members.


    During that time, he returned to Red Sandstone City as the half-year agreement with Wu Shangru drew near. The Feitian Talisman Factory was to be officially handed over to him.


    Once this matter was taken care of, Wu Shangru could formally leave Red Sandstone City. He was extremely keen on this, always urging Chen Mobai to return.


    Under the witness of Qin Baipeng, Chen Mobai officially took over the Feitian Talisman Factory. The media reported on this for several days.


    Of course, all the news was positive.


    Return home with honor, make the family proud¡­


    In that period, Chen Mobai was the hottest topic in Red Sandstone City.


    But because he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, no media dared to harass him, allowing him to stay peacefully at home and at the factory for some time.


    After the carefree departure of Wu Shangru, Chen Mobai had to stay and manage the factory for a month.


    Thankfully, Chen Xinglan, Tang Panchui, and even Luan Jingsheng, had all become proficient at their respective tasks. After the change in management, suppliers and channels gave face to Chen Mobai, the Chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. They were even willing to yield a point or two in profits, wanting to sign longer-term contracts.


    With a smooth transition in mind and considering his youth and the more than two hundred years he had to run the talisman factory, Chen Mobai renewed the contracts for four years. After his official graduation from the Daoist Academy, he would make further adjustments.


    However, he fulfilled his promise to add Shen Juanxiu¡¯s family to the list of Ling Sha suppliers for the Feitian Talisman Factory as a way to repay her for her previous support.


    In return, Shen Juanxiu and her newlywed husband invited him over for a meal.


    After dealing with matters in Red Sandstone City, he returned to Crimson City Cave Heaven.


    However, on the first day he returned, Chen Mobai heard the news of Meng Huang¡¯s failed attempt at the Foundation Establishment.


    He wanted to visit and comfort her as a friend, however, the villa on the mountain was empty, and she did not pick up his calls.


    It was only after he asked Bian Yiqing that he found out Meng Huang has gone on a national tour with him to heal her injuries, temper her heart, and hopefully comprehend her path amid the bustling world.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, this time there was no Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe as Jiang Yuyuan has achieved Foundation Establishment. He was taken away by a higher up from the Immortal Sect.


    Based on Chen Mobai¡¯s guess, Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s cultivation progression should not be slower than his. The Shocking God Sonata, being dependent on Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s cultivation level, is one of the hopes for Nascent Soul elders to achieve Divinity Transformation.


    Jiang Yuyuan definitely wouldn¡¯t lack items like Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and Barrier Breaking Pill.


    There were times when Chen Mobai wondered if Meng Huang deliberately failed her Foundation Establishment because she didn¡¯t want to live a life of being reared by the higher-ups.


    But he only thought of it. After all, they had several warm conversations. From texts and voice messages, he could feel her longing for Foundation Establishment and frustration at her inability to comprehend Boundary Law.

 Chapter 404 - Chapter 404: Chapter 301: Separation _2

    Chapter 404: Chapter 301: Separation _2


    Meng Huang¡¯s failure in her Foundation Establishment had returned Chen Mobai, the ever-optimist, to the ruthless reality of Immortal Cultivation.


    The last failure he witnessed was from his own father¡¯s attempt in Foundation Establishment.


    He wondered how many of his friends would be forced into military service to participate in wars, due to their inability to establish their foundation, at the time of graduation.


    With an indescribable sense of melancholy, Chen Mobai returned to the Tianhe Realm.


    Two Message Talismans were blocked outside the Cloud Mist Array.


    Upon reading them, he found out that they were from Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan.


    Zhuo Ming had returned. Although the Jade Bud Spirit Wine from the South Mountain Shop hadn¡¯t all been sold yet, a part of the Spirit Field needed to be harvested by the end of the year, so she put her business aside and came back first.


    Luo Yixuan, on the other hand, had written a long list of her insights when she used the Flame Lighting Technique, as well as various changes to her body, and wanted to ask if her condition was normal.


    Indeed, Chen Mobai had experience in that area.


    After all, he had been planted with the Flame Lighting Technique by the Crimson Robed True Man, which had transformed his Five Elements Cultivation into the Pure Yang Scroll.


    After reading the Message Talismans, Chen Mobai opened the Cloud Mist Array.


    The dispersing cloud and mist on the mountain top signaled his exit from seclusion.


    It wasn¡¯t long before Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan joined him.


    ¡°Greetings, master.¡±


    ¡°Well, I¡¯ve had some insights during my retreat, and have somewhat advanced in my cultivation. Today, I will teach you some techniques.¡±


    Since taking on apprentices, Chen Mobai had rarely given formal lessons, because he was still a student himself and felt he wasn¡¯t qualified to teach.


    However, today, his emotions got the better of him and he suddenly felt like teaching a class.


    ¡°Congratulations on your advancement, master. Should we call senior brother to listen to your lecture?¡±


    Zhuo Ming looked eagerly surprised, but Luo Yixuan, while congratulating him, smoothly suggested inviting their senior brother. She was always thoughtful in words and deeds.


    ¡°He¡¯s still recuperating from his injuries. When he¡¯s recovered and comes to South Mountain, I¡¯ll give him an individual lesson.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Luo Yixuan nodded in understanding. Zhuo Ming, on the other hand, scratched her head awkwardly, feeling a bit guilty as she had not thought about Liu Wenbo.


    Although Zhuo Ming was cultivating the Mother Earth Scripture and Luo Yixuan was practicing the Blackwater Cultivation, which differed from Chen Mobai¡¯s Wood Fire Duality, once they reach the Foundation Establishment, learning Qi Cultivation techniques becomes as easy as solving elementary school math problems.


    The lesson lasted until sunset, and both apprentices were both amazed and pleasantly surprised. They even took out pen and paper to take notes on parts they didn¡¯t understand, intending to ponder over it later.


    Chen Mobai felt like he still had more to say, but his teaching also helped him solidify his understanding of the realm he just broke through.


    After the lesson, he planted the Flame Lighting Technique in Luo Yixuan again.


    This time, due to his advancement, Chen Mobai found that the flame he gave through the Flame Lighting Technique could now last as long as nine days.


    That could be considered good news.


    After his disciples left, Chen Mobai contacted Yue Zutao through a Message Talisman to inquire about the investigation into the loss of the Lei Nation¡¯s Spirit Stone Mine.


    The latter informed him that there was still no news, but the materials for the Foundation Building Pill had been arranged by the Reward Virtue Hall. Zeng Woyou would start refining it after a month of quiet cultivation. This was also good news.


    He hoped that Mu Yuan and Yu Lian would be successful in their Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai had always been confident in them. After all, he didn¡¯t feel any difficulty when he was establishing his foundation.


    He wasn¡¯t planning to succeed the first time, and the second time he took the Foundation Building Pill, he succeeded with his eyes open and shut.


    But after witnessing Meng Huang¡¯s failure, he began to feel a bit apprehensive.


    After showing his presence at the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai returned to the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Mr. President, congratulations on breaking through. Let me wish you a Happy New Year in advance.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, same to you.¡±


    In the small western-style building of the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai greeted a few resigned student council members. After they finished their tasks, they too were going to leave Crimson City and return home.


    Fortunately, Hua Zijing chose to stay.


    In this way, even without Chen Mobai, the student council could still operate.


    ¡°You have to work hard in the coming days.¡±


    While Hua Zijing was petting a cat, she suddenly heard Chen Mobai¡¯s words. She turned around somewhat puzzled to find that Chen Mobai, who was sitting in the president¡¯s seat, had disappeared. His voice came from outside the open window.


    ¡°I¡¯m bored at the academy. I¡¯m going home.¡±


    Hua Zijing was speechless, but as the secretary-general of the student council, she was used to it.


    It was just like when Zuo Qiushi was there; she was always left in charge.


    ¡°Next year when I graduate, I¡¯m curious to see who you¡¯ll find to do all these things.¡±


    Hua Zijing looked at the window from where Chen Mobai had left, voicing her frustration.


    She was in ninth grade this year, and she would be a tenth grader when school started next year. She was set to graduate by the end of the year and did not plan on wasting time at the Daoist Academy. Instead, she aimed to join the Immortal Gate and obtain the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, like Zuo Qiushi.


    Chen Mobai was fully aware of her plan, and he was already searching for someone new to be his secretary.


    Many classmates did not come back to Red Sandstone City this year.


    Among these included Qing Women, Yan Bingxuan, Song Zheng, Shi Yuanqing, Mo Simin, and so on.


    Only Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling would come back almost every year. After Chen Mobai had visited Shi Qujin, he had taken them out for a meal.


    He received some good news during the meal.


    Cao Yaling had apprehended the boundary technique and had tried to take the three Foundation Establishment treasures this year. Although she had failed, she was essentially halfway through the threshold of Foundation Establishment.


    At the same time, he heard regrettable news.


    Chen Si hadn¡¯t been successful in establishing her Foundation.


    She and Shen Juanxiu graduated in the same year, and in an attempt to avoid military service, Chen Si had no choice but to try to build her foundation. But ultimately, she failed.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that before leaving, even the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy would come to see me off.¡±


    At the gates of the Cinnabarite Institute, Chen Mobai saw Chen Si, who was dragging a small suitcase. Seeing him, she smiled slightly, seeming quite cheerful.


    Chen Mobai greatly respected her decision after her failure to establish her Foundation.


    Chen Si did not choose to marry like Shen Juanxiu. Instead, she bravely faced the military service by choosing to enlist.


    Along with Chen Mobai, Shen Juanxiu had also come over.


    They left the institute gate and arrived on a wide road.


    Shen Juanxiu wept like rain, making Chen Si, who was initially quite composed, unable to hold back the tears welling in her eyes.


    ¡°Take care.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave Chen Si a set of Crimson Flame Sword Talismans and a rabbit puppet he had made. It was not only cute, but it could also serve as a companion for conversation. She accepted with a smile.


    ¡°Thank you, we¡¯ll meet again someday.¡±


    Watching Chen Si¡¯s beautiful figure retreating, Chen Mobai thought back to their first encounter at the Immortal Gate High School. At that time, she walked in with a smile, and the sunlight outside the window poured onto her long black hair, as if it was coated with a thin layer of golden sheen.


    Her elegant posture and the warmth in her eyes at that time were a beautiful scene Chen Mobai would never forget.


    He wished he could reach out and ask her to stay, but he couldn¡¯t find a valid reason.


    Moreover, joining the military was Chen Si¡¯s decision, and in her heart, there was still a flame burning, yearning for higher realms.


    In the end, all Chen Mobai could do was watch her figure fade away under the grey sky.


    Before this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t quite comprehend the feeling of separation. Now, he understood.


    It was indeed very bitter.


    Establishing one¡¯s Foundation was already so challenging. He couldn¡¯t help but wonder if any of his friends could walk with him to the realm beyond Foundation Establishment.


    In the following days, Chen Mobai had dreams every day. He dreamt that after a long period of seclusion, when he woke up and opened the door, the world had changed, and a millennium had passed.


    All his friends had turned to dust, dissipated between heaven and earth.


    The dreams were so frequent that he thought he might be obsessed with it.


    He immediately called Che Yucheng for advice. But to his surprise, Che told him that this was a sign of an epiphany and a symptom of realm improvement.


    Generally, those who are cultivating the Divine Manipulation Technique would experience such situations.


    Of course, if one couldn¡¯t surpass this hurdle on their own, then they would indeed fall into obsession.


    But Che Yucheng also reassured Chen Mobai. The Immortal Gate had plenty of medicine that could treat these situations, but it would be best if he could overcome it on his own, as it would result in greater rewards.


    If he were to medicate, he would miss the rare opportunity to enhance his state of mind.

    ¡°You can choose to do something that makes you focus.¡±


    On the phone, Che Yucheng shared some of his experiences.


    He had also experienced this situation in the past. It was only when he engrossed himself in building an aircraft carrier puppet model that he could finally surpass this hurdle.


    ¡°What should I do?¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Mobai started to ponder.

 Chapter 409 - Chapter 409: Chapter 304 Tian Shu and Talisman Brush Set_1

    Chapter 409: Chapter 304 Tian Shu and Talisman Brush Set_1


    The new semester began, and Chen Mobai made a special trip to the Talisman Department for some matters.


    By the time he was in class, he heard a piece of good news.


    Zhuang Jialan had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment.


    If it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai, she and Si Guanyu would have been the leading figures in the Talisman Department.


    Even so, she still showed off her talent.


    Si Guanyu also understood the critical law, but he was a bit unlucky. He failed at the critical moment where Divine Sense was about to leave the body. If he had not used the critical law to retrace, he would have scattered his mind, and his Elemental Energy would have suffered significant damage.


    Even so, he still needs to delay for half a year before he can establish foundation.


    ¡°Congratulations, committee member Zhuang, Class Leader Si shouldn¡¯t be discouraged. With your talent, you¡¯ll definitely be able to establish your foundation within this year.¡±


    After the first class of the new semester ended, Chen Mobai sat in the center of the front row. Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan walked over to greet him, the chief of the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Let¡¯s hope your words bring me luck. However, I originally made an agreement with Zhuang to restore a Rank-3 ancient talisman this term. But now, it has to be postponed.¡±


    Si Guanyu said with a bitter smile. He and Zhuang Jialan had passed the Talisman Maker¡¯s Rank-2 examination given by the immortal gate when they were in the fourth grade. Their next goal is naturally the Rank-3 position.


    And restoring an ancient talisman is a way they improve their learning.


    There are many high-rank ancient talismans in the Talisman Department that are damaged and cannot be used, all of which contain rudimentary and profound knowledge about talisman-making.


    Restoring each ancient talisman is an enhancement and refinement of one¡¯s knowledge base.


    This is because during the restoration process, various modern talisman knowledge needs to be used to supplement those incomplete patterns of the dao and traces of spirits in the ancient talisman.


    Using this method, Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan improved their talisman making skills significantly and also developed the ability to think and solve problems independently.


    This was also mentioned by Xu Xiu, the Talisman Department¡¯s teacher, in the classroom. However, only a few among the entire class did it, and the ones who achieved results were these two.


    Chen Mobai focused on elevating his realm and cultivation level. Although Xu Xiu had suggested several times that he join Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan¡¯s team to restore ancient talismans, he promised but had never participated in this ancient talisman restoration group.


    ¡°That¡¯s the case, Class Leader Si, Committee Member Zhuang, I also registered for the Rank-2 Talisman Maker exam this year. Thinking about your experiences, I came today to draw on your wisdom.¡±


    After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Mobai got straight to the point.


    Upon hearing this, Si Guanyu and Zhuang Jialan exchanged glances. Later, the latter nodded and spoke.


    ¡°Class Leader Si will focus on establishing foundation this year and probably won¡¯t have much time. If you have any problems in talisman-making, you can directly ask me.¡±


    ¡°Won¡¯t that be too much trouble for you?¡±


    Chen Mobai thanked her politely.


    Zhuang Jialan shook her head, indicating that she alone could hardly restore the Rank-3 ancient talisman. As Si Guanyu was working on his foundation, she also had no other things to do. She felt honored to be able to help Chen Mobai, the academy¡¯s chief, improve. As a member of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, she was more than willing to help.


    ¡°Thank you. By the way, Committee Member Zhuang, after establishing the foundation, you must have received a device piece, right? Have you thought about what type of Magic Artifact you want? As the student union president, there¡¯s not much I can help you with, but I do have some skills in identifying Device Nurturing Spheres.¡±


    Chen Mobai originally wanted to give some Rank-2 talisman paper and talisman ink, but that seemed a bit common. Thinking that Zhuang Jialan had just established her foundation and likely hadn¡¯t opened a Device Nurturing Sphere yet, he offered to find a suitable Magic Artifact for her from the Treasure Trove.


    ¡°That would be great. I¡¯ve heard about your reputation as the No.1 Spirit Eye from the senior students who have established their foundations.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a reputation.¡±


    Chen Mobai modestly downplayed the compliment, then invited Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu to have lunch in the cafeteria.


    It must be said that people who concentrate on studying talismans have indeed more outstanding professional knowledge than Chen Mobai, who has divided attentions.


    Zhuang Jialan tutored Chen Mobai for seven days, and the latter finally made some progress on the Water Mirror Talisman, which he had been unable to draw.


    ¡°Your two talisman brushes, the rabbit hair one is softer and can carry more ink, suitable for drawing round and thick strokes; the wolf hair one is stiffer, powerful and vigorous, suitable for those lines.¡±


    ¡°The outer contour of the Water Mirror Talisman can be drawn with the wolf hair brush, and the mirror surface is best drawn with the rabbit hair brush. Use the firm and direct lines of the wolf hair brush to envelop the shadow and light and dark of the mirror surface.¡±


    ¡°This golden paper is very good, particularly suitable for the Water Mirror Talisman. The talisman ink is also not bad, although it is not the most suitable water pattern ink, it is still the best-selling standard Rank-2 talisman ink in the immortal gate¡­¡±


    Generally speaking, although there are many types of talisman papers, there are only a few suitable for the Five Elements. So Chen Mobai¡¯s Flying Heaven Talisman Factory can basically manufacture them all.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But talisman ink is different. With various types, Chen Mobai, not being that meticulous, simply took some of the best quality and most versatile Rank-2 talisman ink from his factory.


    ¡°But the talisman brushes are a bit inadequacy. In addition to the two main talisman brushes, it¡¯s better to purchase a set of good auxiliary talisman brushes. Rank-1 is enough. This will be of great help for the exam.¡±


    At last, Zhuang Jialan gave her opinion after the training.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been using these two talisman brushes for several years, and I feel their feel is not bad. It¡¯s no problem to draw any talisman or line.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the two Rank-2 Talisman Brushes made of rabbit hair and wolf hair by his side. After he established the foundation, he had been using these two brushes for drawing any talisman, spiritual patterns, lines, even coloring and his success rate was quite high.

 Chapter 410 - Chapter 410: Chapter 304 Tian Shu and Talisman Brush Set_2

    Chapter 410: Chapter 304 Tian Shu and Talisman Brush Set_2


    Tianhe Realm occasionally taught Zhuo Ming how to make talismans, and let her use these two talisman brushes. After each use, she would clean them thoroughly with mountain spring water, cherishing them greatly.


    ¡°Without wasting hundreds of brush tips, one can¡¯t become an outstanding Talisman Maker.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan quoted a famous saying from the most famous talisman maker in the immortal world: there are no shortcuts to success, only the cycle of diligent study and practice.


    Since Chen Mobai started learning to make talismans, he had only wasted one talisman brush, which was far from enough.


    ¡°I¡¯ve learned my lesson, so what kind of talisman brush should I buy, in your opinion, Zhuang?


    Zhuang Jialan unzipped the brush pouch hanging from her slender waist and took out the talisman brushes she used most often.


    There were needle-tube brushes designed for fine lines, graphite pencils for sketching, colored pencils for simple coloring, as well as a rainbow brush filled with seven colors of ink, in addition, she had brushes made of wolf hair, goat hair, rabbit hair, purple hair, rat whiskers, and so on.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened at the sight of Zhuang Jialan taking out a full eighteen different types of talisman brushes from her palm-sized brush pouch. He deeply felt that his attitude towards making talismans was flawed.


    ¡°In my dormitory, there are another fifty or sixty talisman brushes of different thicknesses and colors,. What I carry here are just the most common ones.¡±


    After Zhuang Jialan finished introducing her talisman brush tools, Chen Mobai memorized them in his heart and then asked where he could buy such a complete set of tools.


    ¡°The best ones are from the Heavenly Book Academy in Weiyu Dongtian, but their stuff is too expensive. A complete set of Rank-1 talisman brushes, encompassing a variety of lines and colors with a total of seventy-two brushes, would cost 108 million Good Deed Points. I only bought the seven most commonly used ones.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan pointed to the seven rainbow brushes as she spoke. Due to her limited Good Deed Points, most of her other auxiliary talisman brushes were still cheap lower-grade Rank-1 talisman brushes, or unbranded ones with good reputations that were middle to high grade Rank-1.


    ¡°I see, I¡¯ll order them right away.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, looking serious.


    He finally knew why his study of talisman engraving was so slow. The key was the lack of proper tools.


    ¡°Mom, is there still more than a million Good Deed Points in profits left in the company¡¯s account?¡±


    After sending Zhuang Jialan away, Chen Mobai immediately called Tang Panchui. She was the one managing the finances of Flying Sky Talisman Factory at the moment.


    ¡°Yes, why?¡±


    ¡°Please buy a set of auxiliary talisman brushes from the Heavenly Book Academy in the name of the company for me. I realized after consulting with a master today that the tools I use are too simple and have been negatively impacting my efficiency in learning to make talismans.¡±


    ¡°No problem. That money was originally intended for you anyway. Whether you buy it in the name of the company or not, it¡¯s still for your use. This way, we not only avoid paying taxes, but can also get an invoice for tax deduction.¡±


    If it were anyone else asking to spend Good Deed Points from the account of the Flying Sky Talisman Factory, Tang Panchui wouldn¡¯t have agreed so readily.


    Only for Chen Mobai, who, in order to take the Rank-2 Talisman Master Examination, needed to use up all the profits the factory made last year, was Tang Panchui generous, and even asked him if it was enough. After buying a set of auxiliary talisman brushes from the Heavenly Book Academy, there were still more than 50 million Good Deed Points left in the company account. Tang Panchui wanted to know if he wanted to buy more tools.


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Mobai asked Zhuang Jialan if there were any other areas where he lacked in terms of tools.


    Zhuang Jialan stated that other areas could be compensated by technique and practice but the area of talisman brushes could not be spared. The more wasted, the higher the technique.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t have enough Good Deed Points, you can do like me and just buy the seven key colors first. These should be sufficient for making talismans.¡±


    ¡°Mm-hmm, I understand. Thank you, Committee Member Zhuang.¡±


    After getting a definite answer, Chen Mobai immediately instructed the company¡¯s finance department to place the order.


    Under the personal supervision of Tang Panchui, the order was successfully placed that day at Heavenly Book Academy¡¯s flagship store. Since the transfer of millions of Good Deed Points required a trip to the bank, she personally accompanied the accountant to complete the transaction before the end of the workday.


    Three days later.


    When Zhuang Jialan came to the student council to tutor Chen Mobai again, she was stunned to see a complete, brand-new Heavenly Book Talisman Brush Set on the table. She was so shocked that her rosy lips were agape.


    ¡°This is¡­.¡±


    She extended a hand excitedly, touching each one to confirm its authenticity. After confirming they were genuine, her pale cheeks turned rosy and were at a loss for words.


    ¡°Committee Member Zhuang, I don¡¯t really know how to use these auxiliary talisman brushes. Could you teach me?¡±


    ¡°Alright, but I¡¯ve only seen this on the Internet. In order to truly grasp it, I need hands-on experience to be able to teach you.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan had finally calmed her emotions down a bit at this point.


    She couldn¡¯t help but touch the two talisman brushes that she had planned to save up for, which were currently tucked inside her Heavenly Book Collection. Her dainty eyes, framed by delicate glasses, looked at Chen Mobai, seated in his office chair, with a peculiar gleam.


    Is he so rich even after Foundation Establishment because he¡¯s the Student Council President?


    As Zhuang Jialan thought of it, she asked. Having been classmates with Chen Mobai for seven years, she knew him well. He was a student with excellent behaviors and temperaments.


    ¡°You misunderstand, Miss Zhuang. Didn¡¯t I make quite a name for myself last year in the Little Red Sky? A talisman factory from my hometown invited me to be their spokesperson. Due to local policy support¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai explained everything about how he managed to get his household registration transferred and the opportunity with the Flying Talisman Factory. After hearing his story, Zhuang Jialan looked at him with envy.


    She didn¡¯t have Chen Mobai¡¯s fame. Even if she transferred her household registration back to her hometown, the most she could hope for, she thought, was probably a piece of land, relevant policy support, and maybe a complete talisman factory, but she dared not even imagine it.


    ¡°What¡¯s your family factory¡¯s online store name? Will it be cheaper if I place an order there?¡±


    ¡°Absolutely! Just mention my name to the customer service, I will ensure you get a good deal.¡±


    Chen Mobai patted his chest confidently, implying that he will take care of her talisman paper and talisman ink needs for the rest of her life.


    Upon hearing this, Zhuang Jialan blushed again. She adjusted her round-framed glasses, her slender eyebrows and eyes flickered toward him. Combined with a smile that appeared on her dimpled cheek, it was a type of enchanting demeanor that Chen Mobai had never seen before.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s forget it. I am just teaching you how to make talismans. There¡¯s no need for such generous payback.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered he was looking for a new secretary candidate for the student council after Hua Zijing graduates. Would the person in front of him be suitable?


    ¡°Miss Zhuang, are you interested in joining the Student Council?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t embarrass himself by asking her to help him manage trivial matters right from the start, but he asked her first.


    ¡°Are there any benefits?¡±


    If she asked such a question, it means she was interested.


    Chen Mobai quickly repeated the pitch that Zuo Qiushi initially used to woo him. Zhuang Jialan listened attentively, and her eyes lit up a bit when she heard that she could look at the Map of Treasures for free.


    ¡°If you join the Student Council, you¡¯ll be my confidante, and you¡¯re guaranteed a minimum of 5 credits per year.¡±


    ¡°The credits earned from the Map of Treasures, after giving half to the Daoist Academy, the rest is shared equally among the members of the Student Council. Last year, each person got 2.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t promise much else, but as long as I¡¯m the president, you can count on getting 7 additional credits per year.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan was somewhat tempted by Chen Mobai¡¯s words. After all, she understood the benefits of these credits very well.


    For Chen Mobai, 7 credits were trivial, but for her, they were equivalent to nearly half of a year¡¯s hard-earned results.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be too busy, right? I mainly want to improve my talisman-making skills.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I personally invited you, so you are my confidante. Who would dare to assign work to you? All you need do is to help me manage some simple paperwork, just as a gesture.¡±


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t sure if Zhuang Jialan could take over the work of Hua Zijing, so he didn¡¯t make it clear. His plan was to assign her some simple work after she joined the Student Council.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If she could handle it well, he would continue to train her.


    If she was just average, then he would consider it as a reward for helping him with his studies, and let her be a little invisible presence in the Student Council.


    ¡°Let¡¯s continue with the talisman-making first. I¡¯ll think carefully about joining the Student Council when I go home.¡±


    Although Zhuang Jialan was tempted, she didn¡¯t let her mind wander.


    Chen Mobai nodded, then he took out the True Void Talisman he failed to draw last night to humbly seek her advice.

 Chapter 411 - Chapter 411: Chapter 305: Sowing in Spring_1

    Chapter 411: Chapter 305: Sowing in Spring_1


    The days seemed to fly by when there were things to do.


    Under the guidance of Zhuang Jialan, Chen Mobai quickly mastered the drawing of the three Rank-2 talismans for his examination.


    In addition to this, there was one more piece of good news: Zhuang Jialan agreed to join the Student Council.


    Without him having to command anything, Hua Zijing¡¯s eyes lit up at the sight of Zhuang Jialan, and she took the initiative to help her adjust.


    For such attention, Zhuang Jialan felt somewhat flattered.


    She naturally knew Hua Zijing, regardless of whether Zuo Qiu or Chen Mobai was the president, she was undoubtedly the second-ranking figure in the Student Council.


    It was surprising that the prestigious Vice President and Secretary, would take time out to guide her, a newbie, with great dedication. It could only be said that Chen Mobai¡¯s face was big enough.


    After some time of guidance, Hua Zijing stated that although Zhuang Jialan was not as capable as her, she had high potential, plenty of room for improvement, and strong learning skills.


    Hearing Hua Zijing¡¯s assessment, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t think much about the underlying implications of this comment. He nodded satisfactorily, feeling relieved that one worry was out of the way. He could now focus on the planting of this year¡¯s spring rice in the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Master, these are the rice grains we selected last year.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, wearing a straw hat, took out several bags of plump rice grains from the storage bag at her waist.


    They were now at the foot of Xiao Nanshan, in the core ten acres of Spirit Field, where the spiritual energy of the earth veins was most abundant, and Jade Bamboo was growing strong and sturdy.


    For each joint that the jade bamboo grew, Zhuo Ming would cut an opening with a pinching knife, then seal carefully selected Jade Bud Rice Grain into it.


    After cultivating for ten years and when the jade bamboo was fully grown and ripe, one could cut off the topmost bamboo joint with a sickle, which would then be filled with fragrant Rank-2 Spiritual Rice.


    When all the bamboo joints of a whole piece of jade bamboo were cut off, it meant that a cycle of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice had matured.


    It was time to sow the second round.


    Each spring, these Jade Bamboos, which are specially grown to nurture Spiritual Rice, would grow one more joint, and today Chen Mobai had descended from the mountain specifically for this matter.


    In addition to Zhuo Ming, Luo Yixuan had also come along.


    She had even changed into a coarse hemp shirt suitable for farming, with all her sleeves and trouser cuffs tied up with a red silk ribbon. She wore straw shoes on her feet, and in her fair right hand she held a crescent sickle, wearing a straw hat on her head, mimicking Zhuo Ming¡¯s method of sowing seeds.


    Although her actions seemed very clumsy to Chen Mobai, he was very pleased with her attitude as a teacher.


    Seeing Luo Yixuan stumbling along, doing exactly as Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai who was also busy cutting bamboo joints and sealing Spiritual Rice, gave a slight nod of approval.


    The cultivators of the Tianhe Realm had a kind of determination that the students of the Immortal Sect did not have.


    Perhaps they all knew that opportunities for Immortal Cultivation were hard to come by and were unusually cherished.


    After the teacher and his two students had spent five or six days sealing all the newly grown Jade Bamboo joints with carefully selected premium Jade Bud Rice Grain, Chen Mobai felt that Zhuo Ming¡¯s cultivation level seemed to have increased a bit.


    The Mother Earth Cultivation truly suited her.


    ¡°Xuan, for the next month, use the Falling Rain Technique that your master has taught you to irrigate these ten acres of Spirit Fields.¡±


    Luo Yixuan obediently nodded, while also expressing a little embarrassment that she had never used the Falling Rain Technique before. She was afraid that she wouldn¡¯t do it well and would delay the most precious ten acres of Spiritual Rice in Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, if you don¡¯t understand anything, just ask Ming. She has a natural talent for Spirit Plants. She has learned about one or two of master¡¯s achievements in this area. There should be no problem in taking care of this Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.¡±


    ¡°My sister is so amazing. This is the only Rank-2 Spirit Rice of our Divine Wood Sect. When these ten acres of Spirit Rice mature, she will be a Rank-2 Spirit Plant Master.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan admiringly spoke to Zhuo Ming who was at her side. The latter, who was praised by her, felt somewhat embarrassed and repeatedly waved her hand, indicating that it was just a matter of proficiency.


    ¡°Coincidentally, your master is free today. If you have any questions about cultivation, just ask.¡±


    By the Spirit Fields, Chen Mobai chose a stone and sat down, while his two disciples stood on his left and right, each raising the confusion they had encountered in their cultivation during this period.


    Luo Yixuan, having already reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, had only a few questions about Foundation Establishment, but she still managed to squeeze out a few to show her presence.


    Unexpectedly, Zhuo Ming had more questions about Spirit Plants compared to her cultivation.


    ¡°Master, I feel that the cultivation method for Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice is incomplete. Aren¡¯t the other 20 plus types of Spirit Rice you made me plant aimed at improving this point?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit surprised that Zhuo Ming could raise this question.


    This child was naturally suited for farming.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I am pleased that you noticed this. Later, take my nameplate and go to the Department of Cultivation to read all the data related to the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.¡±


    Chen Mobai had long discovered that as the only method of breeding Rank-2 Spirit Rice in the Divine Wood Sect, there was a significant defect.


    Mature seeds on the Celestial Gate side, are directly sowed and irrigated, naturally absorbing earth energy to grow. Once they break through the soil, they open tender buds and can absorb nature¡¯s spiritual energy, and essence of the sun and moon.


    During the maturation process of the seeds, the Spirit Plant Master merely needs to regularly irrigate and fertilize, and pay attention to pests. There was no need for complicated and troublesome operations such as planting Gold Edge Bamboo first, waiting for the Jade Bamboo to grow, and then sealing the seeds into it.


    As a core Foundation Establishment elder of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai naturally had access to all the secret scrolls about the ¡°Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.¡± within the sect.

    Chapter 412: Chapter 305 Planting in Spring_2


    The technique for cultivating this Rank-2 Spirit Rice was acquired by Zhou Shengqing at a great price in an auction held by a large trading union during the time when he was traveling in the territories outside the Eastern Wilderness and the Five Elements Sect had not yet split up.


    In the Tianhe Realm, there are two ways to trade the Methods of Cultivating Spiritual Plants.


    One is licensing, and the other is outright purchase.


    The former is akin to Back to Sky Valley¡¯s Rank-3 Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice. Each year, they purchase rice seeds from the Star Heaven Trade Union. This fee is for the licensing, which grants them the exclusive rights to cultivate and sell within the Eastern Yi Territory.


    The latter method of outright purchase is exemplified by the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice. This was a Secret Technique inherited from a Sect within the Eastern Yi Territory. If it wasn¡¯t for the Sect¡¯s Foundation Establishment elder being grievously injured and needing Spiritual Medicine in exchange for treatment, this technique would not have been auctioned off.


    After Zhou Shengqing acquired this inheritance and brought it back to the Sect, he was praised by the then-living Hun Yuan elder.


    According to this inheritance specifically for Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, it¡¯s possible to raise ordinary Yubud Lingmi to Rank-3 if Rank-3 Spiritual Bamboo can be found.


    The value of Rank-3 Spirit Rice is vastly different.


    From the experience of the Tianhe Realm, if a Gold Core cultivator wishes to advance to ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, strengthening their qi and physical body can increase their rate of success.


    And only Spirit Rice of Rank-3 and above can be beneficial to these Gold Core cultivators.


    The Xiao Nanshan was an experimental ground for raising Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice to Rank-3. Unfortunately, the cultivation method for this kind of Spirit Rice was too complicated and required a full ten-year cycle to mature.


    By the time the third trial cycle was underway, the Hun Yuan elder had passed away.


    After the splitting of the Five Elements Sect and Zhou Shengqing busying himself with seclusion to advance to Perfect Core Formation, he no longer had time to pay attention to this matter.


    It wasn¡¯t until Chen Mobai successfully established his foundation and chose Xiao Nanshan as his own Daoist training ground.


    The Sect Leader, Meng Hong, naturally knew about the origins of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice. He also knew that Chen Mobai, aside from sword training, had a love for farming. Thus, he gave all the data on the Sect¡¯s experiment on cultivating Rank-3 Spirit Rice to Chen Mobai.


    However, this data was incomplete.


    Originally, in order to cultivate Rank-3 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, the Spirit Plant Masters of the Earth Vein, Water Vein, and Wood Vein of the Five Elements Sect tilled sixty acres of Spirit Field in Xiao Nanshan of the Giant Tree Ridge.


    After the big event of the sect¡¯s splitting, the Spirit Plant Masters of the three veins naturally each chose their own sides. The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s version was written from the memories of their vein¡¯s Spirit Plant Masters, kept only for passing down.


    It is said that they actually succeeded in cultivating two stalks of Rank-3 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, but it was unknown whether it was by chance or they had truly mastered the trick. Moreover, this key technique was held by the core Earth Vein Spirit Plant Master and the Divine Wood Sect did not have it.


    This is why the Divine Wood Sect showed no interest in raising Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice to Rank-3. They knew it would consume a huge amount of resources and success was not guaranteed.


    The inheritance of Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice cultivation is accessible even to cultivators who have established their foundation.


    Only the scrolls pertaining to Rank-3 Spirit Rice are treasured in the transmission department. Chen Mobai, considered to be at the core of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s future, naturally had easy access to this kind of information.


    Even so, Sect Leader Meng Hong specifically reminded him.


    He told him to prioritize sword training. While Rank-3 Spirit Rice is important, the sect¡¯s stockpile of Spirit Stones is adequate, and they can still purchase Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice for the two Core Formation elders. Most importantly, he must not delay his main cultivation due to this.


    Chen Mobai was somewhat touched by this.


    At least, Meng Hong, the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, truly treated him as a future leader of the sect, and his treatment was no different from his fellow disciples.


    For this reason alone, Chen Mobai set a small goal.


    He wanted to apply his talent for farming to the Divine Wood Sect, so that everyone in the sect could have access to Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    This is also why Chen Mobai has been extremely diligent in agricultural studies for the past two years.


    Lin Wenkang, his Agricultural Studies teacher at Dance Tool Dao Academy, was extremely pleased with this and imparted all his knowledge, believing Chen Mobai would become a leading figure in the cultivation farming field.


    Having completed reading the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s treasured data on Rank-3 Spirit Rice and combining it with the extensive knowledge available from the cultivation schools, Chen Mobai now understood all the concepts behind the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice cultivation inheritance.


    The Spirit Plant Master who initially created the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice was a genius.


    The Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice seed is actually a Rank-1 Yubud Lingmi, a type of spirit rice which is considered the most widely sown and technologically advanced spirit rice in the Tianhe Realm.


    The seven major factions of the Eastern Wilderness, as well as various immortal cultivating families and small sects, all have extensive experience in cultivating Yubud Lingmi and are able to harvest a significant amount each year.


    However, this spirit rice has one weakness¡ªit can¡¯t withstand the spiritual energy from Rank-2 Earth Veins.


    So, it can only be sown in Rank-1 Spirit Fields.


    The creator of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, however, had a whim. He wondered if he could filter the spiritual energy from Rank-2 Earth Veins in some way to make it bearable for the Yubud Lingmi, thus promoting its rank.


    After decades of grafting and sowing experiments, Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice was created.


    The spiritual energy from Rank-2 Earth Veins is absorbed and transformed by the Jade Bamboo, becoming incredibly pure and gentle.


    And the seeds enshrined within the sections of the Jade Bamboo, under the nourishing effects of bamboo dew and bamboo spiritual energy, will undergo peculiar changes. After ten years of nurturing, these seeds will upgrade to Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    Following this theory, if there¡¯s a Rank-3 Spiritual Bamboo suitable for Yubud Lingmi, it is indeed possible to cultivate Rank-3 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    It¡¯s no wonder that Hun Yuan was thrilled that Zhou Shengqing could buy this spirit plant legacy.


    However, from the Immortal Sect¡¯s perspective, it is indeed a wrong approach.


    To cultivate Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, the initial process requires the consumption of earth- and spiritual energy to nourish the Jade Bamboo¡¯s growth. After the spirit rice seeds are sealed inside, it needs to absorb the essence of Jade Bamboo. After two transformations, the energy consumption is one and a half times that of the Sect¡¯s Rank-2 Spirit Rice, and the maturation time is rather long.


    For the Spirit Plant Masters of the Immortal Sect, who meticulously cultivate every inch of the land and spiritual energy, Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice is naturally seen as the wrong path.


    After discovering this, Chen Mobai specifically consulted the Agricultural Studies teacher from the Daoist Academy, Lin Wenkang, and received several suggestions.


    Softening earth energy, maturing in stages, and improving the rice varieties, and so on.


    However, to definitively solve this problem, the best method is to improve the rice varieties.


    That is, by cross-breeding the Yubud Lingmi with another spirit rice that can endure Rank-2 earth energy. The combined seed variety, after several rounds of practical planting and cultivation, should select the most suitable, the fullest, and the most vigorous seeds.


    The process and methods are relatively simple. With Chen Mobai¡¯s top-class agricultural foundation from the Daoist Academy, he does not need Lin Wenkang¡¯s help to write a full thesis and method for improving rice varieties.


    However, the most difficult yet tedious and detailed part is the subsequent practical planting and cultivation.


    To obtain accurate and comprehensive experimental data and samples, and eventually derive the most suitable variety, the more types of cross-bred rice varieties, the better.


    During this process, it is necessary to have many people to record data and supervise them.


    The more seeds are planted, the more Spirit Fields are needed, and the more Spirit Plant Masters are welcomed.


    Unfortunately, Chen Mobai¡¯s dream of improving rice varieties using the power of the Agricultural Studies Class could not be realized as the Daoist Academy¡¯s experimental fields were full of more precious Rank-3 and 4 medicinal herbs, leaving only a tiny piece for Spirit Rice.


    As a second-best option, he could only experiment at Xiao Nanshan.


    Luckily, Zhuo Ming was talented. After Chen Mobai explained the knowledge of cross-breeding and cultivating different rice varieties once, she understood everything.

    Seeing as all the major firms in the Tianhe Realm pay great attention to high-quality Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai chose local rice varieties from the Eastern Wilderness to cross with Yubud Lingmi.


    After Chen Mobai secured Xiao Nanshan, he, under his own name, had for the past two years consistently posted tasks in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to acquire all kinds of Spirit Rice varieties.


    With the power of the sect, apart from the ten core acres of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice cultivated following the standard method, the other fifty acres were all sown with various kinds of Spirit Rice bought by Zhuo Ming, as arranged by Chen Mobai.


    These varieties of Spirit Rice varied in terms of rank, some mature in half a year, some take a full year, and some even take two to three years.


    Last year, Chen Mobai¡¯s Rank-2 Spiritual Wine made from Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice was crossbred with a Rank-1 Premium variety called Precious Ginseng Spirit Rice. After adding in Rank-2 yeast from his hometown, and fermenting it with over a hundred ingredients from Hundred Herb Elixirs and Restoring God Soup, he was incredibly lucky and successfully brewed two jars.

 Chapter 413 - Chapter 413: Chapter 306: Gold Core Makes a Move_1

    Chapter 413: Chapter 306: Gold Core Makes a Move_1


    After bringing the hybrid rice varieties to the cultivator¡¯s lab and inspecting them with the most advanced Magic Artifacts, Chen Mobai eliminated thirteen types.


    Among the remaining twelve, six were merged with the merits of Jade Bud Spirit Rice to create more vigorous Spirit Machines in the rice seeds, with hopes of developing a new Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    One of those was indeed the gem ginseng rice variety, the source of Rank-2 Spiritual Wine.


    However, these hybrid rice varieties still had to be sown and further inspected after they matured. At the same time, their cultivation process needed to be observed to see if they were suitable to be grown in normal Spirit Fields.


    The spectrum results of the other six new types of rice showed a positive trend during inspection, but still needed to be planted to determine their uses.


    When Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming were sowing the new rice varieties, Liu Wenbo had recovered from his injuries and came to see him.


    An extra helping hand was naturally a good thing.


    Although Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan were not as good as Zhuo Ming, they were still Cultivators and had both practiced water-related cultivation techniques, so they were assigned to irrigate the newly sown rice seeds with the Falling Rain Technique.


    Chen Mobai, on the other hand, began brewing Spirit Rice wine from last year¡¯s harvested Spirit Rice with Zhuo Ming.


    Probably because the success of their Rank-2 Spiritual Wine had surprised the master and disciple, they decided to brew wine from every variant of hybrid Spirit Rice this time.


    While making the wine, Chen Mobai specifically invited Yan Jinye, who was already very familiar with the process of adding medicinal herbs into the brewing process just like Alchemy.


    When Yan Jinye arrived, she not only brought the two named disciples who had helped her last year but also brought along six disciples from the alchemy department.


    Because they needed to brew various types of wine, some were suitable to be brewed with added medicinal herbs, while others were not. Each needed to be tested and tasted separately.


    Zhuo Ming was delighted with this process.


    After all, her South Mountain Shop had basically transformed into a wine store, but there were only two types of Spiritual Wine.


    If they could brew a different type of wine from each of the twenty-five types of Spirit Rice, South Mountain Shop could firmly hold the title of the top wine store in Divine Wood City. They might even become the top shops in the Eastern Wilderness through Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Fang Markets.


    After about three busy months, the busiest spring of South Mountain¡¯s year had finally ended.


    After thanking Yan Jinye, Chen Mobai invited her and Yue Zutao to try some of the Rank-2 Spiritual Wine that they still had from last year.


    ¡°At Lonely Spirit Ridge, Elder Zhou arranged for personnel from the Spirit Vein department to mine the Void Stone. It was indeed this unexpected windfall that allowed Elder Zhou to secure the Core Formation Spiritual Material from outside the Eastern Wilderness for the Sect Leader,¡± Yue Zutao revealed something he learned from his master Chu Zuoshu, while they were half through their drinking.


    ¡°No wonder the Sect Leader is in such a hurry to abdicate,¡± Chen Mobai remarked, having realized why the Sect Leader was eager to step down. If he were Meng Hong, he would choose Core Formation over the sect without hesitation.


    ¡°Our Alchemy and Spirit Plant departments have recently joined forces to capture the ¡®Void Ascending Immortal Mushroom¡¯ from our medicine field. Apparently, it¡¯s also being prepared for the Sect Leader¡¯s Core Formation ¨C they plan to turn a slice of the mushroom into Spirit Emptiness Tea,¡± Yan Jinye revealed, confirming that Meng Hong was about to prepare for Core Formation.


    Chen Mobai did know about the ¡°Void Ascending Immortal Mushroom¡±.


    In the four years that he had spent in the Spirit Plant department, he had learned that the most precious among the medicine fields of Giant Wood Mountain were the seventeen types of Rank-4 Thousand Year Medicine Herbs.


    The ¡°Void Ascending Immortal Mushroom¡± was one of them and was among the top three in terms of value.


    It was something that Elder Hun Yuan personally acquired from a large stockade in the Eastern Wu Region. The mushroom had already achieved spirituality, whizzing everywhere along with the earth Qi from the Spirit Vein. If not for the prohibition seal on the medicine field, the mushroom would probably have escaped.


    During Core Formation, drinking a slice of mushroom brewed into Spirit Emptiness Tea could reportedly provide continuous vigorous lifeblood and essence, thus increasing the success rate a little.


    Chen Mobai could only grumble inwardly about such a waste.


    This mushroom was one of the main ingredients for a sect¡¯s Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, and could also serve as the main ingredient for a Fire Elemental Gold Core and a Gold Elemental Gold Core.


    If a group of sect Alchemists saw the Divine Wood Sect discarding the potential of the mushroom by casually brewing it into tea, they would probably pop their eyes out in anger.

    After noting down this information, Chen Mobai asked Yue Zutao about the deficit of the Spirit Stone Mine in Lei Nation.


    ¡°It¡¯s almost ready to be wrapped up. Fu Xingzhou found out that two local Cultivator clans have pledged allegiance to Mountain Shaker Peak, jointly imprisoned Brother Luo, and forced him to ingest some kind of poisonous insect, leading to this farce,¡± Yue Zutao, who was Chu¡¯s disciple and had almost been guaranteed the next Sect Leader post, had access to almost all the high-level information.


    ¡°And what about Brother Yuan? Also, isn¡¯t this method too crude?¡± After hearing this, Chen Mobai found some contradictions. It was too risky for the local Cultivator clans in Lei Nation to imprison Luo Shupin, even if they had Mountain Shaker Peak as their backer.


    For any forces that have long been struggling to survive between the two major sects, they wouldn¡¯t resort to such extreme measures, even in desperate situations.


    ¡°Elder Brother Yuan¡¯s report is similar. But like you, he is planning to investigate why these two Cultivator clans are so desperate to betray the Divine Wood Sect,¡± Yue Zutao replied. Chen Mobai was still frowning, as he still could not figure out the meaning behind this incident.

 Chapter 414 - Chapter 414: Chapter 306: Gold Core Takes Action_2

    Chapter 414: Chapter 306: Gold Core Takes Action_2


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t Mountain Shaker Peak want to go to war with our Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    From the simplest perspective, Yan Jinye voiced her understanding.


    ¡°Mountain Shaker Peak only has one Gold Core elder, how could they dare to go against our Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    Yue Zutao didn¡¯t understand at all, and Chen Mobai knew even less.


    They could only wait for news from Yuan Chiye.


    After finishing their drinks, the two of them bid their farewells and left with heavy hearts.


    After exchanging the news, they both sensed a storm brewing.


    The Eastern Wilderness, which hadn¡¯t seen conflict in over fifty years, might once again be on the brink of war.


    Chen Mobai could only sigh.


    If it were possible, he would prefer to just farm, practice his swordplay, and paint his talismans.


    However, in the Tianhe Realm, these aspirations were a luxury for most cultivators.


    The last prolonged era of peace in the Eastern Wilderness was when the Hun Yuan elder was alive. The Five Elements Sect then reigned supreme for five hundred years, with all cultivation forces bowing their heads in deference.


    Now, in the Seven Great Sects of the Eastern Wilderness, the one with the most promising chances of Nascent Soul Formation was Zhou Shengqing from the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, moving into the Nascent Soul Formation stage is considered a life-and-death situation for Eastern Wilderness cultivators. Therefore, Zhou Shengqing might need to cultivate another Golden Core cultivator for the Divine Wood Sect before attempting it.


    When he was alone, Chen Mobai speculated about the thinking of the higher-ups in the sect and the situation in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The more Golden Core cultivators the Divine Wood Sect had, the worse it would be for the other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness.


    After all, during the peak of the Five Elements Sect¡¯s prominence, they only had one Nascent Soul and six Golden Core members.


    If the Divine Wood Sect had three Golden Core cultivators, they might even be able to challenge the remaining three branches of the Five Elements Sect alone.


    So, did the Five Elements Sect have a hand in all this?


    Chen Mobai felt as though he had grasped a hint of the truth when he thought up to this point.


    However, as far as he was concerned, the best thing would be to avoid conflicts.


    To avoid missing out on the latest news from the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai spent most of the year in Xiao Nanshan.


    Hua Zijing still had a year left in the Daoist Academy, so it wouldn¡¯t be a waste of her talent.


    One day.


    While Chen Mobai was explaining laws to Liu Wenbo on the peak of Xiao Nanshan, his expression suddenly changed as he looked towards the very center of Giant Tree Ridge.


    A surge of great and vast spiritual power emerged from the top of an Everlife Wood, turning into a Qingyang green sun, breaking through the sky and heading north.


    ¡°Master, this is¡­¡±


    Liu Wenbo voice trembled. He had never felt such a powerful spiritual machine. It was like a tremendous wave sweeping half the sky. Faced with this spiritual power, he felt like an ant facing an elephant, liable to be crushed at any moment.


    ¡°It should be Elder Zhou.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai had encountered many Golden Core cultivators from the Immortal Sect, the only time he truly faced one was back in Red Sandstone City when dealing with the mysterious person from the Ascension Sect.


    He had the same feeling this time round.


    Even though his cultivation level had improved, facing the vast spiritual power of the Golden Core cultivator, he still felt a sense of unstoppable power.


    ¡°Master, are we going to war?¡±


    At this time, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan also hurriedly rushed up from the bottom of the mountain. With looks of panic on their faces, they had nearly the same thoughts as Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Wen Bo and Xuan, prepare yourselves. If the Divine Wood Sect goes to war with another sect, Ming will stay at Xiao Nanshan. You two will come with me into battle.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai was reluctant to fight, he has, over the years, come to see himself as a part of the Divine Wood Sect and had long since made up his mind about what he would do in such a situation.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    Both Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t hesitate at all. As cultivators born and raised in the Tianhe Realm, they saw this kind of situation as a matter of course.


    On the other hand, Zhuo Ming looked a bit hesitant. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to volunteer, but at this moment, Chen Mobai had already mounted his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and left Xiao Nanshan, heading for Reward Virtue Hall.


    After all, he was currently part of the Reward Virtue Hall¡¯s organization. Plus, why would Elder Zhou suddenly leave the sect in what seemed like a fit of rage?


    As the next sect leader, Chu Zuoshu certainly knew about these matters.


    ¡°They are here.¡±


    Unexpectedly, when Chen Mobai arrived, most of the people he recognized from the Reward Virtue Hall were already there. Yue Zutao and Sun Gaochang greeted him, and Chen Mobai joined them.


    Chu Zuoshu sat calmly in his own seat, nodding in acknowledgment as he saw Chen Mobai enter.


    On his left and right, there were two Foundation Establishment cultivators, a man and a woman, who were strangers to him.


    Through Yue Zutao¡¯s voice transmission introduction, Chen Mobai found out that these were the Vice Hall Masters of the Reward Virtue Hall, Luo Xue¡¯er, and the Inspector, Fu Huakun.


    Luo Xue¡¯er was from the Shenmu Hall, and Fu Huakun was from the Penalty Evil Hall, both were late stages of the Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    Sometime later, six more Foundation Establishment cultivators arrived.


    One of them was Shan Hongyi, who Chen Mobai knew. They exchanged greetings through eye contact.


    ¡°Jiang Shougang and Xu Gongming are not in the sect and He Ruping is in closed-door cultivation, so we don¡¯t need to wait for them.¡±


    At this time, Chu Zuoshu spoke up.


    There were twelve Inspection Envoys of the Foundation Building Realm in the Reward Virtue Hall, and Chen Mobai, Yue Zutao, and Sun Gaochang were among them.


    Some of these inspection envoys also belonged to the factions of the vice hall masters and inspectors.


    If it weren¡¯t for the grand spiritual sense of Elder Zhou coming out of seclusion that startled them, even Chu Zuoshu might not have been able to summon them all so easily on a normal day.


    ¡°Our elder has gone to fight Ji Zhenshi, we should also prepare, we may have to go to war with Shake Mountain.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu¡¯s speech was very straightforward, getting right to the point.


    Luo Xue¡¯er and Fu Huakun, who were next to him, seemed to have known this in advance, and their expressions were serious.


    ¡°I will ask for the leader¡¯s permission to lead a team to Lei Nation. You will be in charge of the things in the hall, and Inspector Fu will accompany me.¡±


    The three of them seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and as Chu Zuoshu gave his orders, Fu Huakun, who usually liked to argue a bit, immediately nodded in agreement.


    ¡°You two arrange the following matters, Inspector Yue and Inspector Chen will accompany me to the Shenmu Hall.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu waved his sleeve and rose from his seat. Yue Zutao immediately pulled Chen Mobai, and it took him a moment to realize that he was the ¡°Inspector Chen¡± being referred to.


    On the way, Chen Mobai finally learned what had happened.


    It turned out that today, the soul lantern of Luo Shupin, the town guard of Lei Nation stationed inside the Shenmu Sect, had shattered. This signified that he had been killed.


    Moreover, the soul lanterns of Yuan Chiye and Fu Xingzhou had started to dim, indicating that their divine senses had suffered serious damage and were in a very dangerous situation.


    For this reason, Fu Huakun was eager to go to war, because Fu Xingzhou was his grandnephew.


    The soul lanterns of the Shenmu Sect corresponded to the nameplates of the sect. The sect could sense the general situation and location of its disciples through this.


    ¡°Both of them have already fled from Lei Nation, but they did not come to Giant Tree Ridge. One entered the territory of Shake Mountain in Rock Country, and the other ran to Snow-blowing Palace in Frost Country.¡±


    In the Shenmu Hall, Cang Qi of the Witchcraft division opened his eyes, put down the soul lanterns of the two in his hands, and asked with a pale face.


    ¡°It seems that Shake Mountain really wants to go to war.¡±


    The always kind Meng Hong had a cold face at this time. In the hall, Chen Mobai had just arrived with Chu Zuoshu.


    ¡°You are about to reach the Core Formation. I will go this time.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu took the initiative to speak up, showing great responsibility. Among the Shenmu Sect, besides the two elders, he and Meng Hong had the highest cultivation level. They would have the most confidence if they took action.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Elder Fu is not here, otherwise the two elders would join hands. Ji Zhenshi would not die, but he would have to lose a layer of skin¡±


    The other Core Formation elder of the sect had been stationed at Yunmeng Ze Windy Rain Dock for the past ten years. Now only Zhou Shengqing could take action.


    Ji Zhenshi was the Core Formation elder of Shake Mountain.


    Although he was only in the middle stage of Core Formation, he was a body cultivator. His cultivation of the Void Law Body combined with Shake Mountain Fist made him almost invincible in the Eastern Wilderness.

    When Zhou Shengqing was still in the Five Elements Sect, he had fought Ji Zhenshi three times. He could only trap Ji Zhenshi with the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation and could not kill him.


    However, without the threat of the Core Formation, the two who were perfect in the Foundation Establishment, Chu Zuoshu and Meng Hong, were not afraid of anyone from Shake Mountain.


    As the Sect Leader could not act lightly, and Meng Hong was preparing for Core Formation, Chu Zuoshu was the most suitable person to lead the team to this battle.


    ¡°Ji Dingjin might take action, you still have to be careful.¡±


    Shake Mountain also had a Body Cultivator whose cultivation was perfect at the Foundation Establishment stage. He was the offspring of Ji Zhenshi¡¯s family. Although he no longer has the chance to reach Core Formation, it was his very reason for being feared by others.

 Chapter 415 - Chapter 415: Chapter 307: Azure Light Formation of Eight Gates_1

    Chapter 415: Chapter 307: Azure Light Formation of Eight Gates_1


    ¡°We are old opponents, after all. Knowing our strengths and weaknesses. Fast-acting is the key to warfare. I will lead the people from the Reward Virtue Hall first, and then you will assemble the Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivators within our sect to launch towards the Lei Nation border. We might even have to charge into the territory of the Rock Country and have a fierce showdown with the folk of Shake Mountain Peak.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu laughed confidently and then began to lead Yue Zutao and Chen Mobai back to the Reward Virtue Hall.


    [I initially wanted you to focus on your cultivation, wait until you perfected your skills, and then surprise the entire Eastern Wilderness.]


    The voice of the Sect Leader Meng Hong came sighing with sensation in Chen Mobai¡¯s ears just as they were about to leave.


    [The timing couldn¡¯t be more perfect!]


    Chen Mobai just smiled back at Meng Hong, turned around, and left the Shenmu Hall.


    ¡°A true temperament of a Sword Cultivator indeed!¡±


    Cang Qi, standing on a side, commented with a sigh. He seemed to have overheard the conversation between the two.


    ¡°Publish my order, highest priority, summon all the sect¡¯s cultivators!¡±


    Watching the trio from Reward Virtue Hall leave, Meng Hong said word by word to Lu Yi from the Transmission Department.


    ¡°Your orders!¡±


    In no time, an order from the Sect Leader was issued from the Divine Wood Hall, calling upon all the cultivators who were not in deep seclusion.


    In just the duration of a single incense stick burning, dozens of strands of spiritual light descended from the sky, coming over in response.


    By half a day later, all the three Hall¡¯s and twelve Departments had started full-scale mobilisation.


    After being prepared for three days, Xie Yuntian, the head of the Sword Training Department, led a thousand Qi Practitioners on twelve large Magic Boats, setting off to the Lei Nation in great battle array.


    This movement from Divine Wood Sect could not escape the notice of other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness.


    In a while, numerous Message Talismans were sent out from the Giant Tree Ridge using various methods.


    ¡­


    The Shake Mountain Peak, one of the Seven Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness, while having an inheritance of thousands of years, was simply a common first-rate sect quite a while ago.


    Before Ji Zhenshi reached Core Formation, the most prosperous time for Shake Mountain Peak was when they had four Foundation Establishments.


    Within the Rock Country, there were also some Immortal Cultivation families and sects whose strength was not inferior to Shake Mountain Peak, the Ji family was one of them.


    The turning point came three hundred years ago.


    The Ji family found a Void Dark Stone Vein. The location was at the border between their family and the Shake Mountain Peak.


    At that time, the Foundation Establishment elder from the Ji family was a visionary. Knowing that they could not hide this from Shake Mountain Peak, he went to the door himself and talked with the four Foundation Establishments of Shake Mountain Peak openly revealing this matter.


    Afterwards, the entire Ji family was incorporated into Shake Mountain Peak.


    Ji Zhenshi was the most promising genius of the Ji family at that time. He was taken in as a disciple by the Sect Leader of Shake Mountain Peak, with the resources from his sect and family, he successfully reached Foundation Establishment and began to gradually emerge.


    In the next hundred years, he cultivated to the Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and then used the mined Void Dark Stone Veins to exchange for Gold Core Spiritual Materials in regions outside the Eastern Wilderness.


    Ji Zhenshi was also a prodigious genius, he succeeded in forming his core on his first attempt.


    And then, he gradually developed and strengthened Shake Mountain Peak, he suppressed and acquired the remainder of the Immortal Cultivation families and small sects within Rock Country, becoming a major sect in the Eastern Wilderness.


    And even fifty years ago, taking advantage of the internal strife and splitting of the Five Elements Sect, he occupied the Sky Country connected to Rock Country, a territory formerly under the power of the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°Ji Zhenshi swallowing his own family to encompass the whole Shake Mountain Peak, he is truly a ruthless and ambitious man. But the current setup is being completely supported by him alone, the moment he dies, everything will fall apart.¡±


    On the Magic Boat, Chen Mobai was asking Yue Zutao for insights on Shake Mountain Peak, this force.


    After consuming the Tree Fruit for eternal life, his cultivation level was locked. Apart from various miscellaneous knowledge, he had also spent time deeply studying about the major sects in the Eastern Wilderness. He eloquently recounted the history of the rise of Shake Mountain and Ji Zhenshi.


    On this Magic Boat, there were in total eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators, all from their Reward Virtue Hall.


    Apart from Chu Zuoshu being the Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall, there was also Fu Huakun, the supervisor.


    The rest were six Inspection Envoys. Among them was a familiar face to Chen Mobai, Shan Hongyi. He and Yue Zutao were the only ones in mid Foundation Establishment.


    Before leaving, Chu Zuoshu, as the manager of the sect treasury from the Reward Virtue Hall, had taken a lot of good stuff from the Meritorious Hall Treasury and let Luo Xueer, the Vice Hall Master, handle the procedures.


    Among them was a set of Azure Light Formation, an intermediate grade Rank-3 Formation Method, requiring eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators to operate together. It contained three layers of transformation and when combined with the Array Flag and Array Plate could exert complete power. It might even be able to resist Gold Core Cultivators for a short period of time.


    The Array Flag of this Formation Method, when combined with Tree Seeds, was even more powerful. As Chu Zuoshu was the Hall Master in charge of the sect treasury, when he took the Formation Method, he naturally wouldn¡¯t forget about the Tree Seed.


    He not only took a Rank-3 Gold Sun Tree Species for himself but also gave each of the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators accompanying him a Rank-2 Green Sun Tree Seed.


    When they set off, seeing the Green Sun Tree Seed in his hand, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel emotional.

    He had been considering how he might get Yue Zutao to snag one for him in the future, but he hadn¡¯t expected to get hold of one this easily.


    Although it was officially distributed by the sect as supplies for a magic duel, it had to be returned after the war ended. But at least for now, it belongs to them.


    With the Tree Seed in their hands, those who travelled with Chu Zuoshu were more motivated. They were exceptionally active while practicing the Azure Light Formation.


    While the group of people were resting on the Magic Boat after practicing the Formation, they formed two circles.


    ¡°The forces of Shake Mountain Peak alone will not be able to withstand our Divine Wood Sect. Is it possible that the other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness will assist Ji Zhenshi directly or indirectly?¡±

 Chapter 416 - Chapter 416: Chapter 307: The Azure Light Formation of Eight Gates_2

    Chapter 416: Chapter 307: The Azure Light Formation of Eight Gates_2


    Chen Mobai voiced his concerns, and Yue Zutao nodded, outlining the key issue.


    ¡°In the past, when the Five Elements Sect was dominating, Back to Sky Valley, Mountain Shaker Peak, Snow-blowing Palace, and Liu Jia Mountain banded together for survival. The Gold Core ancestors of these four families can be regarded as friends who have braved life and death together.¡±


    ¡°So you¡¯re saying our Divine Wood Sect may possibly face the four largest sects in the Eastern Wilderness?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s the worst-case scenario. However, Back to Sky Valley has always remained neutral, backed by the large business association Star Heaven, and is solely interested in making Spirit Stones, so they basically won¡¯t involve themselves in such matters. If we are only dealing with three sects, joining hands with Golden Cliff, we should be able to withstand them.¡±


    In other words, the Divine Wood Sect had already prepared psychologically for a major battle against the other three sects.


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh at how common battles have become in the Tianhe Realm.


    The cultivators here, right from their early days of Qi Cultivation, seem imbued with the idea that only by fighting can they progress to the next level.


    The shortest route from Jian Country to Lei Nation passes through Yun Country and Snow Country, naturally crossing Snow Country.


    However, that is the territory of the Snow-blowing Palace, and with the possibility of the three sects joining hands, Chu Zuoshu would naturally not walk into the trap. He detoured through Yun Country and then went to Lei Nation.


    Fortunately, they had the magic boat for the journey, and they also needed time to familiarize themselves with the Azure Light Formation. Only after five days and five nights did they finally arrive in Lei Nation.


    The first stop in Lei Nation, and the frontline of the battle with Mountain Shaker Peak, was the location of the Spirit Stone Mine.


    Phoenix Wave State, Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    The Foundation Establishment elders of the four major cultivating families in Lei Nation led hundreds of Qi Practitioners in respectfully welcoming the magic boat of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Eight streams of spiritual light descended from the sky, and Chu Zuoshu and his seven companions alighted onto the open ground.


    ¡°I, Lian Chenghai, pay my respects to Hall Master Chu. I did not expect you to personally come here. Your presence truly graces our humble Rolling Thunder Mountain.¡±


    A tall and upright male cultivator with wide cheeks, big ears and a purple-colored face stepped forward.


    It seemed that he knew Chu Zuoshu as he came forward with the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators to greet him.


    ¡°Two town guards from our Divine Wood Sect were murdered in your Lei Nation, and two patrol members disappeared here. If you can¡¯t give me a satisfactory answer, I fear there might have to be a change in the immortal cultivation families of Lei Nation.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu calmly stated something that caused all the Lei Nation cultivators present to turn pale.


    No one doubted the truth in his words, knowing that the Divine Wood Sect could indeed make it happen.


    ¡°Bring them forward!¡±


    Lian Chenghai immediately signaled to the family¡¯s cultivators behind him, who then brought ahead several dozens of captives.


    ¡°After receiving the news, we led people to surround the Gong family and Zheng family, intending to rescue the members of your sect. However, the old devil from the Gong family and Zheng Wulyu had already fled Lei Country with a group of people via the Teleportation Array. Still, we managed to capture thirty-six cultivators from both families who had blood relations, along with the Spirit Stones and treasures they didn¡¯t manage to take.¡±


    While speaking, Lian Chenghai took out a large storage bag and presented it in front of Chu Zuoshu, who nodded. Yue Zutao on his side immediately stepped forward to accept it.


    ¡°These thirty-six people can first be kept to mine. If we start a war with Mountain Shaker Peak, they can atone for their crimes.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu announced the fate of these people from the Gong and Zheng families. He did not choose to exterminate them directly but opted for a more ruthless path.


    ¡°Yes, we will have our family members personally guard them.¡±


    While speaking, Lian Chenghai began to introduce the three Foundation Establishment cultivators beside him.


    They were the supreme emperors of the other three major families in Lei Nation. These venerable ancestors, who wielded great authority within their families in the past, now dared not make a peep in front of the eight people from the Divine Wood Sect, remaining obsequious.


    Chu Zuoshu: ¡°How did my fellow disciples Fu and Yuan go missing?¡±


    Lian Chenghai: ¡°The two immortal masters from your sect infiltrated the Gong family and found the missing Luo Town Defender. But they were discovered by the old devil from the Gong family. He decisively killed Luo Town Defender and then joined forces with Zheng Wulyu and others to chase down Masters Fu and Yuan. Upon receiving a message from your sect, we, the four families, immediately led our family¡¯s cultivators to surround the two families. But we were one step too late, and the core cultivators of the two families managed to escape via the Teleportation Array.¡±


    While speaking of this, Lian Chenghai appeared ashamed.


    However, without the actions of their four families, Fu Xingzhou, and Yuan Chiye wouldn¡¯t have been able to escape so easily. All in all, they had done what needed to be done.


    ¡°A hundred miles past this Rolling Thunder Mountain, it falls into the territory of the Rock Country right?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu stood at the highest point of Rolling Thunder Mountain, looking towards the rugged hills not far away, and spoke.


    ¡°Correct. When the Spirit Stone Mine was discovered here before, Shake Mountain wanted to muscle in, but was repelled by your Sect¡¯s Elder Zhou.¡±


    ¡°How large is this Spirit Stone Mine?¡±


    ¡°Approximately one hundred lower-grade raw Spirit Stones can be dug out each day. According to an investigation by your Sect¡¯s Spirit Vein Department, mining should last around sixty years.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who heard this on the side, calculated silently in his heart. That meant this small Spirit Stone Mine was worth two to three million Spirit Stones.


    In this case, it was indeed possible to arouse the covetousness of Shake Mountain.


    However, mining a Spirit Stone Mine is tedious. After all, the number of cultivators is limited, and having them mine would also delay their cultivations.


    Typically, one sends a team to be stationed, and then have physically strong mortals labor. These are good at by the local immortal cultivation families. They are basically local tyrants, able to summon tens of thousands of mortals at a command.


    For this reason, although the Lei Nation is the territory of the Divine Wood Sect, they could monopolize this Spirit Stone Mine with their military force. But they still have given six-tenths of the profits to the six major families of cultivators locally.


    After all, this Spirit Stone Mine¡¯s total output per year is only around thirty-six thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones, it¡¯s simply not worth mobilizing forces for such a small profit.


    However, for local Cultivator families, over three thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones per year is a huge fortune.


    For them, mortals can be dismissed with food and copper money, a deal that promises a great return without any capital.


    But there are some who are never satisfied.


    The Gong family and Zheng family are examples of this. Especially the old ancestor Gong Wanshan of Gong family who is at the mid stage of Foundation Establishment. Always comparing himself to Ji Zhenshi, he also aspires to reach Core Formation.


    The Spirit Stone Mine was originally discovered by him, but once this thing is mined on a large scale, the leakage of Spiritual Energy will cause a rain of Spiritual Energy and it¡¯ll be hard to hide.


    Lian Chenghai is also at the mid stage of Foundation Establishment. After discovering this, the six major families of Lei Nation first had a good internal fight, but nobody wanted to suffer losses. Gong Wanshan even teamed up with his in-law¡¯s family, the Zheng family, asking for half of the profits.


    Nobody was willing to submit to anyone. Since Lian Chenghai couldn¡¯t beat Gong Wanshan, in a fit of anger, he turned to Luo Shupin.


    After the Divine Wood Sect entered the battlefield, Gong Wanshan was still unwilling to give up, he even went so far as to reveal this matter to the Town Guard of Shake Mountain next door.


    Unfortunately, Sect Elder Zhou Wangshen was a formidable Cultivator and nobody could get the better of him. In the end, Shake Mountain retreated, and the Gong family could only endure.


    However, the development of events ultimately went beyond everyone¡¯s expectations.


    The Gong family and Zheng family resented the Divine Wood Sect for this matter and completely shifted their loyalty to Shake Mountain.


    It seemed that Shake Mountain wasn¡¯t prepared for this either.


    Seven days after Chen Mobai and others arrived at Rolling Thunder Mountain, only then, in the sky of the Rock Country, did five or six Shake Mountain cultivators in golden robes and two Foundation Establishment cultivators in brown brocade clothes fly over.


    ¡°Chu Zuoshu, come out and see me!¡±


    The lead cultivator from Shake Mountain had white hair but held an aura of authority around him. His high nose made him dignified; he had two black Iron Gall nuts were rotating constantly in his palm. After his arrival, he stood in mid-air, his words resounding like thunder, echoing across the entire mountain peak.


    ¡°Ji Dingjin, you¡¯re still not dead yet.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chu Zuoshu also took seven cultivators of the Reward Virtue Hall and flew out of Rolling Thunder Mountain straight at the group of people from Shake Mountain.


    ¡°I have protected the Gong family and Zheng family. Hand over the cultivators of their families, and we¡¯ll call it quits. We Shake Mountain won¡¯t compete with your Divine Wood Sect for this Spirit Stone Mine.¡±


    Ji Dingjin seemed uninterested in arguing with Chu Zuoshu. He pointed to the two cultivators beside him, presumably Gong Wanshan and Zheng Wulyu.


    Chu Zuoshu shook his head, ran a hand over his own mustache, and with a smile uttered a sentence that prompted an uncontrollable outburst from the other side.


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s awkward, because I wish you were dead.¡±

 Chapter 417 - Chapter 417: Chapter 308: Bead that Breaks Meridians_1

    Chapter 417: Chapter 308: Bead that Breaks Meridians_1


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡±


    Ji Dingjin was a fiery character in his youth, but as he aged, he considerably mellowed down. However, constant verbal provocations from Chu Zuoshu pushed him past his limits.


    From the palm of his right hand, two Iron Gall sparkled with brilliant sparks. In an instant, a flash of lightning erupted, striking at Chu Zuoshu¡¯s head.


    However, as the heir apparent of the Divine Wood Sect, Chu Zuoshu was heralded as a cultivator on the verge of the Core Formation Realm.


    Without panic, he simply adjusted the jade crown on his head, and a crystal clear spiritual light surged outwards, transforming into distinct, lushly green leaves.


    It was the signature ¡°Spirit Leaves Technique¡± of the Divine Wood Sect.


    The Iron Gall Thunderbolts fell on the leaves, causing a slight ripple before dissipating into nothingness.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    However, Ji Dingjin, the oldest Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness, had sparred with the monks of the Divine Wood Sect many times, losing count himself. Therefore, he had already developed a countermeasure to the Spirit Leaves Technique.


    With a cold snort, he immediately threw one of the Iron Gall from his hand, the sound akin to wind thunder, scattering sparks and lightning along the way.


    As expected.


    When the Iron Gall fell, the originally distinct leaves started to blur, finally disappearing with a ¡°pop¡±.


    Chu Zuoshu saw that this was a golden magical artifact, the nemesis to his cultivation technique, furrowed his brows, and activated a blazing red talisman.


    In an instant, the fire transformed into a dragon and snake, but Ji Dingjin summoned back his Iron Gall at this moment, causing Chu Zuoshu¡¯s powerful talisman to miss its target.


    However, Chu Zuoshu was not one to fall behind; he immediately sent the fire-like dragon and snake charging at the monk from the Shake Mountain who stood beside Ji Dingjin. The latter cursed but had no choice but to block the talisman.


    Attaining full Foundation Establishment was tantamount to entering the Fake Core Realm. If Ji Dingjin refused to step in, even if the group beside him could defend, they would be greatly damaged.


    ¡°Your artifact is not bad. I initially thought that you are old and had just taken up such playthings, but it seems it is specially made to deal with me,¡± Chu Zuoshu, looking at the two Iron Gall in Ji Dingjin¡¯s hand, which turned red due to the fire dragon and snake, touched his mustache and chuckled.


    ¡°Stop flattering yourself. It seems you are itching for a beating.¡±


    Ji Dingjin was also fired up. He put the two Iron Gall in his storage bag, then wore a black arm guard and boxing gloves. His vigour exploded, and his already large physique expanded even further, like a giant.


    ¡°Set up the array!¡±


    Upon seeing this, Chu Zuoshu instantly shouted and took out a silver array plate shaped like an octagon.


    Chen Mobai and the other six were already waiting for this command. In an instant, they set up their array flags and moved their feet to set around Chu Zuoshu, forming the well-practiced Azure Light Formation.


    The void started to fluctuate, clouds and mist formed and expanded, conjuring up eight gateways. Hundreds of azure lights flickered within them.


    With Chu Zuoshu¡¯s control over the array plate, the hundreds of azure lights turned into flying swords, blanketing the sky as they lunged at the monks from Shake Mountain.


    Amidst the buzzing sound.


    Having lost the initiative, Ji Dingjin roared furiously, took out a human-sized brass shield, and positioned himself at the forefront. Simultaneously, he shouted at the monks behind him, ¡°Set up the array.¡±


    Seeing the five Foundation Establishment monks from Shake Mountain, along with Gong Wanshan and Zheng Wuxie, siding with Ji Dingjin who shielded them, the eight Foundation Establishment monks also set up the ¡°Thousand Rocks Ten Thousand Mountains Array¡±.


    Under the traction of the array and the divine sense control of the Foundation Establishment monks, nature¡¯s spiritual energy transformed into a giant rolling stone phantom, akin to a meteorite, barreling towards the cloud gates on the opposing side.


    However, amidst the ever-changing eight gates, azure lights that shot out like flying swords continually swerved, not only resisting the impact of the rolling stones but also enabling Chu Zuoshu to control another cloud gate to sidestep and shoot azure light at the monks from Shake Mountain.


    However, the ¡°Thousand Rocks Ten Thousand Mountains Array¡± was both offensive and defensive.


    The vast yellow sands rolled in and instantly dissolved the azure light that had entered into the earthly spiritual energy.


    ¡°Lian Chenghai, when are you going to act?¡±


    Seeing both sides locked in a stalemate in mid-air, Chu Zuoshu immediately yelled at Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    This Spirit Stone mine was a joint venture between the Divine Wood Sect and six immortal cultivation families; and a Rank-3 Large Array, different from the Azure Light Formation, had also been set up. Since it was connected to the spiritual energy of the earth¡¯s veins, its power exceeded the former by far.


    Just as Chu Zuoshu finished speaking, golden rays appeared below on the mountaintop, condensing in the sky above into a giant golden knife phantom. Seeing that it was about to slash at the yellow sand around the Thousand Rocks Ten Thousand Mountains Array, Ji Dingjin surprisingly led his people to retreat.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Chu Zuoshu, just you wait.¡±


    Leaving behind a harsh remark, the monks of Shake Mountain, like a yellow cloud, chased after the Azure Light Formation¡¯s flying swords, retreating towards Rock Country without looking back.


    Chu Zuoshu led Chen Mobai and the others to chase after them for a while, stopping only when they were about to cross the border of Lei Nation and return victoriously.


    ¡°Hahaha, Ji Dingjin, that old guy was always relying on being one realm higher than me and being senior to me. Seeing him get beaten up today is truly satisfying.¡±


    After returning to Rolling Thunder Mountain, Chu Zuoshu¡¯s initially stiff expression finally couldn¡¯t hold back and erupted into hearty laughter.

 Chapter 418 - Chapter 418: Chapter 308 Bead that Breaks Meridians_2

    Chapter 418: Chapter 308 Bead that Breaks Meridians_2


    At his laughter, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators from Lei Nation who were originally worried also let go of their concerns.


    At least, they don¡¯t have to worry about the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s pursuit.


    ¡°The battle with Mountain Shaker Peak is inevitable. This is also an opportunity for your four major clans to redeem yourselves through meritorious deeds. Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t give you a chance.¡±


    After laughing, Chu Zuoshu began to tap into the cultivation families of Lei Nation again.


    ¡°Yes, please rest assured, Elder Chu. As part of the Divine Wood Sect, we have always followed the sect¡¯s commands with absolute respect over the past decades and will not fear the battle.¡±


    Lian Chenghai spoke on behalf of the four major clans.


    ¡°Hmm, prepare some rooms for us. Later the four of you will come together to discuss how to defend against Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s attack.¡±


    At Chu Zuoshu¡¯s command, Lian Chenghai naturally carried it out at the earliest opportunity.


    Even though the scenery of Rolling Thunder Mountain was not particularly spectacular, after the discovery of the Spirit Stone Mine, the spiritual energy gathered underground for millions of years surged upwards, forming an almost Rank-4 Spirit Vein in a few short years.


    It should be known that among the six cultivation families in the entire Lei Nation, the highest spirit vein level in their Spiritual Land is only Rank-3 Top Quality.


    This was also why, after the discovery of the Spirit Stone Mine, the Foundation Establishment practitioners of Lei Nation all stationed themselves at Rolling Thunder Mountain for a long period under the pretext of guarding the Spirit Stones.


    Their clan ancestors naturally all had their own dwellings, but now they had all been given to the members of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Lian Chenghai was the first to offer his cave dwelling, and Chu Zuoshu had no qualms about accepting.


    However, there were eight people from the Divine Wood Sect this time, and there weren¡¯t enough rooms.


    But the cultivators of Tianhe Realm were all accustomed to living in the open air, which they didn¡¯t mind. They each found a spot rich in spiritual energy, set out a meditation mat, and just sat on it.


    ¡°Because it¡¯s expected that we will be later than Mountain Shaker Peak which is directly mobilizing troops from Rock Country, we have to rely on the advantages of the formations and geographical features of Rolling Thunder Mountain to resist for a while before our Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army arrives.¡±


    After the first victory, Chu Zuoshu, as the commander, analyzed the situation very calmly.


    Inside the room, apart from the eight people from the Divine Wood Sect, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators from Lei Nation were present as well.


    ¡°The Rank-3 Formation of Rolling Thunder Mountain, the Earth Gold Knife Array, was constructed by a member of your sect¡¯s formation division. It holds the dual attributes of earth and gold and has already connected with the local spirit veins. If Ji Zhenshi does not take action, it should be able to hold out for a while.¡±


    Lian Chenghai immediately offered up a square Array Plate, which was the core of the Rolling Thunder Mountain Formation.


    Chu Zuoshu nodded, but let Fu Huakun beside him take it. He had to control the Azure Light Formation and might even have to engage Ji Dingjin in battle from time to time. If he had to handle the Earth Gold Knife Array as well, it would be too much.


    ¡°We need to consider the possibility that Mountain Shaker Peak has a Bead that Breaks Meridians.¡±


    After taking over the Array Plate of the Earth Gold Knife Array, Fu Huakun brought up a point.


    The Bead that Breaks Meridians is a magic artifact in the Tianhe Realm specifically used to destroy spirit veins. It is formed by the condensation of the ancient and toxic gas extracted from the earth veins. Once triggered, it can quickly penetrate into the earth veins along the connection with the formation and disrupt the spiritual mechanisms of the earth veins within a radius of a hundred miles.


    ¡°The Bead that Breaks Meridians is invaluable. When our Divine Wood Sect separated from the Five Elements Sect, we only obtained three such beads. I don¡¯t believe that Mountain Shaker Peak would have any.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu shook his head, uncertain whether it was true confidence or if he was trying to instill confidence into the four Foundation Establishment cultivators of Lei Nation.


    However, at his words, the four people from Lei Nation looked at each other, feeling exposed. Their mountain protection formations, which took more than a hundred years to construct, were even more formidable than the Earth Gold Knife Array and were their greatest reliance.


    Upon hearing that the Divine Wood Sect actually had three Beads that Breaks Meridians, they instantly felt disquieted.


    They felt as if their family was naked in front of the Divine Wood Sect, leading to a chill down their spines.


    Immediately, their attitudes became even more respectful.


    ¡°Each of your clans will provide 100 Qi practitioners. I don¡¯t care if these practitioners are hired from loose cultivators or if you have to reveal your cards to your subordinate clans. Within three days, I want to see at least 400 cultivators.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu started to assign tasks. Upon hearing this, Lian Chenghai and the others looked bitter, but they had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree.


    It should be known that although the four major clans were practically imperial rulers in Lei Nation, even the largest clan, the Lian family, had in total only a little over 200 cultivators between old and young.


    As for the smallest clan, the Bao family, they barely numbered above 100 cultivators.


    Now, Chu Zuoshu had straightforwardly assigned a hundred Qi practitioners to each family, almost draining their power by half.


    However, under the eave, and considering the Divine Wood Sect still held the Bead that Breaks Meridians, a powerful weapon, the four of them pledged that within three days, Qi practitioners who would satisfy Chu Zuoshu¡¯s requirements would arrive at Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    After all, Chu Zuoshu had made it quite clear.


    It only mattered if there were enough people, not whether they were part of their clans or not.


    If they had known this earlier, the Gong family and the Zheng family wouldn¡¯t have handed them over, and spread the load evenly, then they could substitute the places of nine people.


    ¡°Senior brother, how come I didn¡¯t know there are three Beads that Break Meridians within the sect?¡±


    After Lian Chenghai and the others had left, Fu Huakun asked somewhat doubtfully.


    ¡°If I hadn¡¯t said so, how could the four of them agree so easily to dispatch cultivators from Lei Nation to come over.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu spoke plainly when faced with his own people,


    Everyone respectfully nodded in approval.


    ¡°We still need to consider the possibility of Mountain Shaker Peak having a Bead that Breaks Meridians. Before Ji Zhenshi¡¯s Core Formation, he used Void Stones in the Eastern Wilderness to exchange for many goods, perhaps he has one.¡±


    Even after digesting this, Fu Huakun was still slightly concerned.


    ¡°The Spirit Vein Level of Rolling Thunder Mountain is nearing Rank-4, meaning Mountain Shaker Peak would require a Rank-4 Bead that Breaks Meridians to completely rupture the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array. The Five Elements Sect only has two such items, I find it hard to believe Ji Zhenshi would waste resources to acquire such things.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu shook his head, but now, even if the enemy truly had one, they could only let it be.


    Considering that the opponent would automatically destroy and contaminate the spirit veins once it¡¯s thrown into the formation, there is almost no solution.


    ¡°Hall Master, we should still consider this possibility. If the spirit veins of Rolling Thunder Mountain were to be polluted, we could manually disconnect the formation from the earth¡¯s veins, and use spirit stones as the power source for the formation. After all, what¡¯s most plentiful here are spirit stones.¡±


    At this moment, Chu Zuoshu¡¯s disciple, Yue Zutao, stepped forward to advise. The latter often took advice to heart, and after thoughtful consideration, found it sensible, hence he had Fu Huakun practice the plan of cutting off the earth¡¯s veins with the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array¡¯s Array Plate.


    ¡°If we really run out of spirit stones and Mountain Shaker Peak breaks through Rolling Thunder Mountain, we also need to be prepared to retreat.¡±


    Yue Zutao spoke again. He had locked his cultivation level all these years which gave him ample time to dabble in various fields of study. On top of that, he was primarily trained to be the next head in the Reward Virtue Hall, hence he was excellent in both literary and military strategies.


    ¡°Hmm, once those Qi practitioners arrive, we can practice the battle array. If anything goes wrong, we can also use these people as cannon fodder to cover for our retreat.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu nodded, and then everyone discussed responses for all kinds of situations.


    Listening to the conversation from the side, Chen Mobai was intrigued and taken aback.


    Finally, he was about to witness a large-scale war among the cultivators of Tianhe Realm.


    He wondered how many people would die this time.


    The three days passed in a blink of an eye.


    On Rolling Thunder Mountain, various makeshift camps have been fully established. More than four hundred cultivators gathered together, they even created a simple Fang Market.


    Chen Mobai inquired about it and found out that less than a hundred cultivators from the four great families have arrived here. The majority were Loose Cultivators and Guest Elders, but once they climbed up Rolling Thunder Mountain, they could receive 2 spirit stones from the four families each day.


    For high-level cultivators, such as those in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, it would be even more.


    This sight reminded Chen Mobai of the scene when the Cloud Dream Marsh Monster attacked the island, he too had accepted the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s recruitment then.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He wondered how the sibling disciples of the small sect he was with at that time were doing now?


    He heard from E Yun that Green Light Island had been rebuilt, but it was not overseen by Senior Brother Zheng Deming, but instead, the latter reportedly went to Fengyu Pavilion with Elder Fu.


    ¡°They are here!¡±


    One day, Chen Mobai was practicing a battle array with Yue Zutao, when Chu Zuoshu suddenly flew into mid-air and shouted to everyone.


    All they could see were flying boats from Rock Country transporting hundreds of cultivators, coming towards Rolling Thunder Mountain in a grand manner.

 Chapter 419 - Chapter 419: Chapter 309: The Great Battle 1_1

    Chapter 419: Chapter 309: The Great Battle 1_1


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye was activated and he looked up.


    He saw a total of twenty flying boats heading from Shake Mountain Peak. The leaders on the first eight flying boats were all cultivators dressed uniformly in golden robes, all of them from Mountain Shaker Peak.


    As for the rest of the twelve flying boats, some were orderly and some were in complete disarray, they must be cultivator clans from within Rock Country and loose cultivators they recruited.


    When cultivators wage war, especially top sects like Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain Peak in the Eastern Wilderness, they naturally mobilize all usable resources.


    Chu Zuoshu, for example, was able to mobilize the Lei Nation¡¯s four major clans and gathered a force of four to five hundred people in a short time.


    The opposite side, Rock Country, is the base of Shake Mountain Peak, which has been operated for hundreds of years and is solid as iron.


    Even without Ji Zhenshi taking action, it managed to quickly gather the cultivator clans nearby and the other big sects, along with the hired loose cultivators, they managed to gather over a thousand cultivators, making a grand march towards Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    This time, Ji Dingjin didn¡¯t engage in any unnecessary speeches.


    Each of the twenty flying boats was adorned with an Array Flag, forming a massive battle array, appearing like dark, endless clouds, advancing in a formidable manner.


    ¡°Gentlemen, the main forces of my Divine Wood Sect have already reached the borders of Yun Country and Lei Country. If we hold out for three more days, support will arrive.¡±


    ¡°If we win this battle, I can assure each of your four families a place to purchase a Foundation Building Pill. Whenever you need it, as long as the Divine Wood Sect has them, we will supply.¡±


    ¡°If one of you should perish, I guarantee in the name of the Divine Wood Sect, we will compensate your family with a Foundation Building Pill and ensure its safe consumption.¡±


    ¡°Also, tell the cultivators, whoever beheads an enemy cultivator will receive corresponding rewards of Spirit Stones and medicine. The expenses will be covered by our Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Prior to the battle, Chu Zuoshu made promises to the four Lei Nation families.


    The initially reluctant foursome of Lian Chenghai immediately brightened up and stated their commitment to defending the honor of the Divine Wood Sect.


    One should know that even though the Divine Wood Sect produces a batch of Foundation Building Pills every decade, there is never enough for the disciples within the sect and there is rarely an external supply.


    For these cultivator families seeking Foundation Building Pills, they either need to exchange them with thousand-year-old medicinal herbs or use substantial amounts of Spirit Stones to bid for them during auctions.


    Alternatively, they can send their disciples with excellent Spiritual Root Talent to the Divine Wood Sect to become true disciples and obtain Foundation Building Pills.


    For instance, Lian Maozhi, who had distinguished himself during last year¡¯s sect competition, was a nephew of Lian Chenghai.


    Those exceptional individuals from cultivator families, who join the sect, naturally progress faster than ordinary disciples.


    Not only do they have abundant resources, but they also have outcompeted others within their families.


    But as a result, the cultivator families are sending their best bloodlines into the sect, making the sect stronger over time.


    After all, cultivators tend to prioritize themselves, and even those from families who have succeeded in Foundation Establishment usually won¡¯t return to their families after being protected by the big tree that is the Divine Wood Sect. They end up being confined to a corner.


    Because in the Eastern Wilderness, the families of cultivators only have cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage at most.


    But within the Divine Wood Sect, there¡¯s a chance of Core Formation.


    However, clear as they were about this, all the major cultivator families are still willing to send their outstanding disciples into those big sects.


    Not only because they don¡¯t have a steady supply of Foundation Building Pills, but also because it would be a major boon for their families if someone successfully establishes their foundation within a sect.


    Who¡¯s to say they can¡¯t follow in Ji Zhenshi¡¯s footsteps, swallowing an entire sect just with the power of one family or one clan?


    Moreover, this wouldn¡¯t interfere with the future of those with talent in the family.


    For all the major cultivator clans, Foundation Building Pills are a sought-after rarity.


    Many disciples in Qi Cultivation Perfection from these families only attempt to establish their foundations forcefully without consuming a Foundation Building Pill before they reach the age of sixty.


    Over the past centuries, successful cases have been rarely seen, most of them ended up as giblets in their caves. This is a history written in blood and tears by the cultivator families.


    Now with Chu Zuoshu¡¯s such promise, not only did Lian Chenghai and other cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage breathe rapidly, but also those cultivators from families who were originally reluctant to come to Rolling Thunder Mountain to participate in the battle are now filled with excitement.


    While this Foundation Building Pill may not necessarily end up on their heads, what if it does?


    Seeing that everyone was getting excited about the upcoming battle, Chen Mobai gave Yue Zutao a thumbs up.


    Over the past few days, the two of them had been leading cultivators on Rolling Thunder Mountain in practicing their battle arrays, but they found that most people were not very enthusiastic. After inquiring, they naturally found out the reasons.

    Chen Mobai thought about it and felt that these people needed some reward as encouragement.


    With no experience in this matter, he could only consult Yue Zutao.


    Yue Zutao had a deep understanding of the Eastern Wilderness¡¯ cultivator clans and even loose cultivators. Cultivator clans are after Foundation Building Pills, whereas loose cultivators want Spirit Stones and medicines.


    The two of them mentioned this to Chu Zuoshu, who obviously agreed, and with a clap of his hands, he asked them to discuss the specifics of how many Spirit Stones and which pills should be rewarded for defeating cultivators of what ranks.


    As for the matter of Foundation Building Pills, he personally spoke to the four families of Lei Nation, because as the Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall, Chu Zuoshu represented the Divine Wood Sect here.

 Chapter 420 - Chapter 420: Chapter 309: The Great Battle 1_2

    Chapter 420: Chapter 309: The Great Battle 1_2


    Just as expected, once the hired Loose Cultivators below heard about this, their once slackened attitudes instantly changed.


    With solid morale, the Rank-3 large formation of Rolling Thunder Mountain displayed unprecedented formidable power.


    A gigantic golden knife, around ten meters tall appeared in mid air. Possessing a terrifying spiritual suppressive aura, it ferociously cleaved towards the twenty flying boats from Shake Mountain Peak that formed the yellow cloud battle array.


    Under the fierce eruption of dazzling spiritual light, the yellow clouds began to dispel, yet they constantly reformed like an endless sea of clouds.


    The Earth-Metal Golden Knife cut through eight yellow clouds consecutively, finally it ran out of spiritual power and dissipated in mid-air.


    In an instant, Fu Huakun, who controlled the Array Plate, commanded the twenty Qi practitioners who were holding Array Flags to furiously absorb earth vein spiritual energy, immediately causing two more giant golden knives to appear and condense in the air.


    However, at this time, on the twenty flying boats shone a stream of earth-yellow rays, transforming into giant rolling stones, plummeting towards the skies of Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    Amid the sound of clanging noises,


    The two newly formed Earth-Metal Golden Knots had a hard time shattering six giant stones, and subsequently their spiritual power was exhausted, causing them to dissipate.


    Fu Huakun¡¯s expression remained unchanged, but the seal of Array Plates in his hands started to shift. A fist-sized raw spirit stone by his side was sucked dry by the Array Plate in an instant. Following this, the formation evolved, and a grey light shield appeared, covering the whole of Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    This was the defensive changes of the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array, the Earth-Metal Armor!


    Boom!


    Giant stones with a diameter of ten meters fell, hitting the Earth-Metal Armour and caused a huge dull sound.


    The entirety of Rolling Thunder Mountain started to shake, some cultivators with faint hearts turned pale, believing the large formation was about to break.


    However, after the first round of twenty giant stones, twenty flying boats from Shake Mountain Peak came for two more rounds.


    In the final round, the Earth-Metal Armor finally couldn¡¯t withstand it. It was smashed open by a giant stone. Chu Zuoshu, who was on the mountain peak, immediately led two Foundation Establishment cultivators to block this giant stone.


    Despite this, two more giant stones smashed the defense and fell. Chen Mobai and the other foundation Establishment cultivators didn¡¯t hesitate at all. They casted all kinds of talismans and magic artifacts to protect the Qi practitioners from being wiped out by this large-scale lethal spell.


    Fortunately, after three rounds, it finally came to a halt.


    After dozens of giant stone bombardments, even though the earth-metal shield was distorted and twisted with several cracks, it still barely maintained its completeness.


    ¡°Quickly replace the one maintaining the formation, bring the spare Spirit Stones over.¡±


    After a round of probing hand to hand combat, Fu Huakun¡¯s face turned pale. Two of the four cultivators, who were holding Array Flags died, with blood flowing from all orifices.


    The remaining Array Masters, who were scattered around Rolling Thunder Mountain, had also depleted their spiritual power and divine senses.


    However, Lian Chenghai, who had come prepared, immediately commanded another group of cultivators knowledgeable in formations to take over the Array Flags of the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array. At the same time, the light of the flying boats in the sky from Shake Mountain Peak began to dim.


    This mode of attack was the limit for the flying boat artifacts after three rounds.


    But at least the Earth-Metal Armour was blasted open with three holes, allowing the cultivators from Shake Mountain Peak to enter Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    In the sky, Ji Dingjin had already put on a full set of Armor. His deep vision met Chu Zuoshu on the mountain peak through a hole in the Earth-Metal Armor. Raising his right hand, he coldly yelled a word.


    In an instant, twenty flying boats landed on Rolling Thunder Mountain, and twelve hundred Qi practitioners all descended towards the holes in the Earth-Metal Armor.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    At the same time, Chu Zuoshu on the mountain peak also spoke the same word. He then adjusted the Jade Crown on his head. A clear spiritual light enveloped a grey-green Tree Seed, which flew out and instantly turned into a lush Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    He flew in mid-air, standing tall under the Spirit Tree, single-handedly blocking a hole in the Earth-Metal Armor.


    The dozen or so unlucky Qi practitioners who landed there were instantly skewered into a gourd by the light spikes transformed by the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, spraying blood all over the side of the mountain.


    The commander naturally had to face a corresponding commander.


    Ji Dingjin didn¡¯t hesitate at all, directly charging at Chu Zuoshu, he swung his right fist, and a terrifying fist energy broke through the air, causing the gap in the already cracked Earth-Metal Armour to widen.


    But Chu Zuoshu¡¯s spiritual power surged, and the branches and leaves of the Qingyang Spirit Tree by his side became more luxuriant, solidly covering this gap.


    Ji Dingjin¡¯s Shake Mountain Punch came down, a piece of Lingye that the Qingyang¡¯s Spirit Tree stretched to block shattered, but immediately two, three pieces, a whole branch of Lingye flew out, transforming into a six-layer defense.


    Boom!


    But under the full force of Ji Dingjin¡¯s punch, this entire branch and leaf was broken and flew away. Chu Zuoshu¡¯s jade crown on his head trembled slightly, and his hair scattered somewhat.


    ¡°The old fellow is indeed a Body Cultivator; he¡¯s almost two hundred years old, but his punch is still powerful.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu felt it for a moment, then slightly shook his head. Next, he adjusted the jade crown on his head.


    Another clear spiritual light emerged, but this time it was cuddling a golden tree seed.


    The Heavenly Wood Talisman was activated, a Golden Sun Spirit Tree with only trunk and sparse leaves rose from the ground, standing on the left and right of Chu Zuoshu along with the Qingyang Spirit Tree from before.


    Seeing this Golden Sun Spirit Tree, Ji Dingjin¡¯s expression became slightly serious.


    After the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s domain expansion, using flexibility to overcome strength, it was most restraining for him, a Body Cultivator.


    If it were not by the general attack of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, facing Chu Zuoshu who had two tree seeds opened, he might have to stake half his life to win.


    But on the battlefield, no matter how hard it is, Ji Dingjin, as the commander of Shake Mountain Peak, still had to set an example for all the cultivators from the Rock Country.


    He took a deep breath, and his whole body suddenly swelled a bit.


    The vigorous and vast Qi and blood made the leaves of the Qingyang Spirit Tree on the left of Chu Zuoshu a little withered.


    Chen Mobai saw the two commanders enter the peak state of going all out from the beginning. He and Yue Zutao also immediately took action to welcome the Foundation Establishment cultivators rushing in from the gap of the Earth-Metal Armour.


    This time Shake Mountain Peak mobilized all the families and sects on the frontier of Rock Country and added in their Sect¡¯s own Foundation Establishment cultivators coming to a total of twenty.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s revealed cultivation level was only at the early foundation stage, as soon as he flew up, a sword light immediately slashed towards him, seemingly wanting to pick on the weak.


    And two Foundation Establishment cultivators also surrounded Yue Zutao. They were acquaintances¡ª they were Gong Wanshan and Zheng Wulyu who had defected from Lei Nation to their side.


    Among them, Gong Wanshan was at the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and was hailed as the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in Lei Nation, his cultivation level was even above Yue Zutao¡¯s.


    But if it was a one-on-one, Yue Zutao wasn¡¯t too afraid. Because his cultivation level was locked, he had enough time to hone all the techniques of the Longevity Scriptures to perfection. Also, after the second-rank Green Sun Tree Seed was activated, even if there were people who could defeat him in the same realm, they definitely couldn¡¯t kill him.


    However, it was different when Zheng Wulyu was added. This person was a Sword Cultivator and also had a second-rank high-quality flying sword. After the Qingyang Spirit Tree was opened, it became a target instead.


    After only a few exchanges, Yue Zutao was forced to take out a blue flag magic artifact that transformed into a stream surrounding him. With the power of this magic artifact, he barely managed to withstand Zheng Wulyu¡¯s flying sword attack.


    But at this time, Gong Wanshan took a dark green talisman from his storage bag. He even bit his tongue to activate it with his own blood essence.


    A terrifying black Xuan Guang shone through the talisman, and a threatening sense that made Yue Zutao¡¯s divine sense tremble came up on the sea of consciousness.


    His face changed slightly, and he also took out his trump card¡ªa Rank-3 attack talisman. But just as he was about to activate it, Zheng Wulyu operated his flying sword desperately to stop his action.

    [Damn, I hope the old ancestor¡¯s Spirit Leaf Talisman can resist this wave of attack.]


    Yue Zutao flung the Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talisman he had exchanged from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion out from his sleeve.


    Defensive spirit talismans were generally set to automatically activate upon attack, and he now only hoped that when Old Ancestor Zhou refined this spirit leaf talisman, he put his heart into it, so its defensive power could be greater.


    At this time, a dazzling and brilliant purple sword light lit up not far away.


    The sword light was like a shooting star. As it swept across the sky, the head of a Shake Mountain Peak foundation cultivator wearing a golden robe flew up.

 Chapter 421 - Chapter 421: Chapter 310 Nine-Jo Law Body_1

    Chapter 421: Chapter 310 Nine-Jo Law Body_1


    ¡°Daoyuan!!!¡±


    With one sword swing, Chen Mobai decapitated the Foundation Establishment cultivator from Mountain Shaker Peak before him, and heard a sorrow-filled shout not far off.


    He lifted his gaze, seeing a somewhat short but muscular man, in a yellow robe with a big beard, manifesting disbelief.


    As their eyes met, Chen Mobai clearly saw the boundless rage and a slight regret in the other¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Did I just kill his son?¡±


    This thought quickly flashed through Chen Mobai¡¯s mind as he reached out with his Flying Sword to collect the storage bag from the waist of the headless body in front of him.


    Meanwhile, the big-bearded cultivator waved both hands, letting out a pressure like a collapsing mountain and bursting sea. It was like shocking waves, one after another. While suppressing the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the four major families who were fighting him, he still had the power to spare and smashed a palm towards Chen Mobai¡¯s direction.


    After putting the storage bag away, Chen Mobai lifted his right hand.


    A series of green lights spilled out from his Arm Guard, forming a dazzling fish scale defense in front of him.


    Bang!


    To everyone¡¯s surprise, the following unfolded.


    Although the palm seemed singular, in reality, it was infused with seven layers of Spiritual Power. The moment it touched, it shattered Chen Mobai¡¯s fish scale defense in front of him.


    Fortunately, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense was formidable, and he had a backup plan. With a flicker of a thought, three defensive Spirit Talismans flew out, managing to offer resistance for just three breaths.


    Nonetheless, this momentary respite allowed him to fully unleash the power of the Green Scale Arm Guard.


    The remaining 320 scales were all released, and under his Divine Sense control, they once again formed five defenses.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Three successive fish scale defenses were shattered under the heavy palm strike, with many scales broken and no longer usable, even if collected back.


    At least, he managed to block the enemy¡¯s move.


    It turned out to be a late Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    Through this exchange, Chen Mobai discerned the Cultivation Realm of the big-bearded man, and frowned at his right hand that now lacked a small piece of the green scaled Arm Guard.


    I hope this can be fixed.


    He had grown rather fond of this Defensive Magic Weapon.


    Chen Mobai looked back at the ongoing battle where Lian Chenghai and the others from the four major Foundation Establishments of Lei Nation had formed a small Array, pooling their strength to hold back the big-bearded cultivator from the Mountain Shaker Peak.


    Had Yue Zutao not been at the edge of life and death at the moment, Chen Mobai would have rushed in with his sword drawn, cooperating with Lian Chenghai and others to first take down the big-bearded cultivator who obviously harbored vengeance against him.


    [Forget it, I¡¯ll let you live for now.]


    Chen Mobai thought those words, but he didn¡¯t have the time to concern himself with the damage to his Green Scale Arm Guard.


    He controlled another Divine Wood Sword and swooped towards Gong Wanshan who was focused on launching a Rank-3 Talisman, aiming to stage a flank attack.


    However, every Cultivator in Tianhe Realm was greatly experienced in Magic Duels.


    Facing his offensive, Gong Wanshan flung a piece of shimmering silver gauze from his sleeve.


    In a flash, the silver light brightened like a waterfall, blocking the Divine Wood Sword.


    Yet, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Wood Sword was merely a feint.


    From his own storage bag, he whipped out the Golden Jade Axe. As he channeled his inner Spiritual Power, this apex Rank-2 Magic Artifact shimmered an intimidating edge, heading straight for Zheng Wulyu who was wholeheartedly manipulating his Flying Sword.


    During a cultivator¡¯s fight, their Divine Sense extends everywhere around them. As the Golden Jade Axe took aim from behind, Zheng Wulyu detected it.


    All Zheng Wulyu could do was to draw out a black shield from his storage bag.


    But his momentary distraction gave his opponent Yue Zutao, who initially had no chance to breathe, the opportunity he needed.


    In addition to the Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talisman, he waved a blue flag conjuring a turtle out of water to shield himself, while illuminating the Qingyang Spirit Tree¡¯s light, shedding its vibrant green leaves and initiating the Spirit Leaves Technique.


    Juts as he completed the triple defense, Gong Wanshan¡¯s Profound Breaking Divine Talisman was activated!


    The pitch black and deep light was like a Poisonous Dragon erupting from the mark in his palm. It clashed instantly with the outermost Spirit Leaf Talisman, causing a thunderous noise.


    Several Qi Practitioners who couldn¡¯t dodge in time were caught in the aftershock. Their faces turned pale instantly, as if their spirits had been obliterated, they collapsed silently to the ground.


    Seeing this scene, Yue Zutao¡¯s face changed slightly. What he feared most had happened.


    This Spirit Leaf Talisman was unexpectedly unable to withstand the black light akin to the Poisonous Dragon. The lush green leaf illusion began to slowly lose its vibrancy, eventually vanishing.


    Gong Wanshan¡¯s talisman seemed a bit unusual.


    But at this point, Yue Zutao could only wave his Black Tortoise Flag, unleashing the full defensive power of this intermediate-grade, Rank-2 Defensive Magic Artifact, encountering the dark light that was almost upon him.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Meanwhile, the branches from the Qingyang Spirit Tree sheared off under Yue Zutao¡¯s Divine Sense manipulation, transforming into wooden arrow after arrow, each radiating an intense Heavenly Wood Spirit Light. They were shot towards Gong Wanshan like a barrage of tens of hundreds of arrows.


    Amid the roaring sound.


    The Black Tortoise Flag¡¯s watery turtle shadow could not hold any longer and burst into countless water droplets, a crack appeared in the middle of the flag.


    Luckily, after successively breaking through the Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talisman and the Black Tortoise Flag, the pitch-black light had its power reduced to merely one-fifth.


    Yue Zutao wasn¡¯t stingy with his Qingyang Spirit Tree. He almost turned the tree¡¯s entire foliage into the Spirit Leaves Technique. He finally managed to completely neutralize Gong Wanshan¡¯s talisman¡¯s power when he was left with no more than a dozen of leaves.

 Chapter 422 - Chapter 422: Chapter 310 Nine-Ren Law Body_2

    Chapter 422: Chapter 310 Nine-Ren Law Body_2


    The arrow he shot out did not pose a threat to Gong Wanshan either, as it was easily blocked with Gong Wanshan¡¯s silver light veil.


    Their gazes locked, once again they began to circulate their spiritual power, ready for another magic duel.


    A scream of agony resonated through the air.


    Recalling his Flying Sparrow Hairpin, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised. Across him, Zheng Wulyu had only lost an arm at his hand, his head still intact.


    Just now, he had split his opponent¡¯s black shield with the Golden Jade Axe and had activated the Sword Light once more.


    He originally wanted to catch Zheng Wulyu off guard without the Qingyang Fire Seed, yet unexpectedly, the latter had a life-saving artifact that automatically flew out and deflected his Sword Light, saving him from the brink.


    ¡°This kid from the Divine Wood Sect has mastered the Sword Light. There¡¯s no way I can defeat him.¡±


    Dragging his severed arm, Zheng Wulyu flew to Gong Wanshan¡¯s side, his face pale with fright as he spoke.


    He himself was a sword cultivator, and if it hadn¡¯t been for the near-death experience moments ago, he would hardly have been able to believe that the cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect standing before him, who was merely in the early phase of his Foundation Establishment, had actually achieved the ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡± realm ¨C something even many cultivators at the late phase of their Foundation Establishment could not attain!


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Gong Wanshan instinctively disbelieved it. But then, in his line of sight, he saw the decapitated body of a cultivator on Shake Mountain Peak slashed through by Chen Mobai.


    If he was not mistaken, the dead Foundation Establishment cultivator was Ji Dao Yuan.


    Ji Dao Yuan was the youngest cultivator in the Shake Mountain Peak to reach Foundation Establishment. He was hailed as the greatest genius in the Ji family after Ji Zhenshi, having achieved the ¡°Nine Rens Law Body¡± during his Qi Cultivation stage. With his vigorous Qi and blood, and robust physique, he could be said to be as tough as a rank-1 top defense magic weapon.


    Ji Dao Yuan had once dueled with the Nine Great Disciples of Golden Cliff.


    He naturally lost at swordsmanship, but even the flying swords of the Nine Great Disciples of Golden Cliff got nicked, and none of them could harm him to any degree.


    After this battle, Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s reputation skyrocketed. After his Foundation Establishment, he depended on the resources of his sect and family, even attaining the second layer of the ¡°Nine Rens Law Body¡±. His physical strength was comparable to that of a rank-2 defensive weapon.


    During this grand showdown between the two sects, Ji Dao Yuan just came out of his closed-door cultivation. Thinking it was a chance to make a name for himself, he immediately rushed over upon hearing the call of sect.


    Ji Dingjin knew of his junior¡¯s cultivation level, and even if they ran into cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect who were at the late phase of their Foundation Establishment, he thought that Ji Dao Yuan could keep himself safe with the second layer of the ¡°Nine Rens Law Body¡±.


    After all, the Longevity Scripture, which they were proficient in, was good at defense and endurance. To the body cultivators of Shake Mountain Peak, it was tantamount to just bearing a beating.


    Ji Dingjin believed that as long as he could confront Chu Zuoshu, Ji Dao Yuan wouldn¡¯t face any imminent danger on the battlefield of Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    That is what Ji Dao Yuan thought himself as well.


    Upon stepping onto Rolling Thunder Mountain, he was cautious. After all, it was his first battle since the Foundation Establishment stage. So, he chose an opponent who also seemed to have been in the Foundation Establishment stage for only a few years from the Divine Wood Sect.


    Who knew he would directly hit the jackpot?


    He stumbled upon a sword cultivation prodigy.


    Achieving the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.


    Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s forceful physique that he was so proud of, despite being tough like a copper wall in the face of Sword Light, was still beheaded by Chen Mobai.


    The disbelief on Gong Wanshan¡¯s face turned into silence as he spotted Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s headless corpse.


    What followed was a bout of excitement and fear.


    He was excited because the death of Ji Dao Yuan meant that there would definitely be no reconciliation between the Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain Peak in the near future.


    He was afraid because as the instigator of the conflict between the two sects, he might be blamed by the elders of Shake Mountain Peak.


    But it was too late to ponder all this now.


    Bearing his flying sword in hand and slashing out at the midair Gong Wanshan, Chen Mobai was about to strike again!


    This was the Purple Fire Sword Aura!


    Gong Wanshan instantaneously threw out a defensive talisman, but the talisman only managed to form a silver light shield against the Sword Light before it shattered like porcelain hitting the ground.


    Such a terrifying Sword Light!


    Gong Wanshan, having witnessed such horrific destructive power, his face turned graver.


    No wonder Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s Nine Rens Law Body couldn¡¯t resist it.


    He immediately activated his silver light veil, a defensive magic artifact, forming a silver waterfall that descended from the sky, standing in the path of the imminent Purple Fire Sword Light. At the same time, Gong Wanshan also put a defensive talisman on both himself and Zheng Wulyu before they started running in opposite directions.


    ¡°Ji Dao Yuan was killed by a man from the Divine Wood Sect!¡±


    Gong Wanshan shouted loudly as they ran, quickly drawing everyone¡¯s attention.


    ¡°This old guy, always thinking of wicked schemes.¡±


    Unable to resist, Yue Zutao spat a mouthful of saliva and cursed at Gong Wanshan¡¯s retreating figure.


    ¡°Who is Ji Dao Yuan?¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai flicked his finger and shot out the Flying Sparrow Hairpin. It burst out like a beam of light, or a silver galaxy crossing the pitch-black void, dazzlingly brilliant.


    Not far in front of him, Zheng Wulyu, who had managed to run just a few steps, looked down at the hole through his heart. He wanted to say something, but his body began to burn with purple-green flames. He was turned to ashes by the Qingyang Fire Seed in a blink of an eye.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Of course, Zheng Wulyu¡¯s storage bag was brought into Chen Mobai¡¯s hand by the flying sword before it was incinerated.


    Collecting spoils of war was a tradition among cultivators in the Tianhe Realm.


    This was also why the cultivators here were so enthusiastic about magic duels.


    ¡°He was the chief disciple of the previous generation in Shake Mountain Peak. He was known as the second only to Ji Zhenshi and known for his robust physique.¡±


    Yue Zutao looked at the decapitated head not far away. He had seen the portrait of Ji Dao Yuan, and it indeed looked very similar.

 Chapter 423 - Chapter 423: Chapter 310 Nine-foot Law Body_3

    Chapter 423: Chapter 310 Nine-foot Law Body_3


    Despite his certainty, his voice trembled slightly.


    ¡°No wonder after beheading him, the Qingyang Fire Seed couldn¡¯t burn his body to ashes, so he was a Body Cultivator after all.¡±


    Upon hearing the name Ji Dao Yuan, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression became clear.


    He was well aware that battles among Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm resulted in life or death in an instant, so he didn¡¯t hold back.


    Facing Ji Dao Yuan who attacked him, he immediately used the Flying Sparrow Hairpin combined with Qingyang Fire, and instantly boosted his Purple Fire Sword Light to its peak under regular circumstances.


    Average Foundation Establishment cultivators, like the Sword Cultivator Zheng Wulyu, were reduced to ashes under a single sword from Chen Mobai.


    Although Ji Dao Yuan had been beheaded, his body was left intact.


    At first, Chen Mobai doubted whether he had overestimated his own strength. But after hearing Yue Zutao¡¯s words and seeing Zheng Wulyu¡¯s ashes scattered over the sky, he was relieved.


    He was still formidable, it was just that his first opponent was an adept, whose physical strength could withstand the heat of Qingyang Fire Seed.


    ¡°Younger brother Chen, this Ji Dao Yuan is as famous as your senior brother Hong He, together with Huangfu Gan of Liu Jia Mountain, Bai Cai of the Snow-blowing Palace, Ban Zhaodan of Golden Cliff, they are known as the Five-colour Immortal Seeds of the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Seeing that Chen Mobai had not fully understood the weight of Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s identity, Yue Zutao drew a very vivid comparison.


    ¡°Five-color Immortal Seeds?¡±


    Chen Mobai had never heard of this term, but he understood the intention of Yue Zutao¡¯s explanation.


    In other words, the guy whom he beheaded was equivalent to his senior brother Hong He from Divine Wood Sect.


    If Hong He was killed by the people of Shake Mountain Peak, the Divine Wood Sect would definitely not give up.


    In simple terms, the person he had killed had a high standing, and the treasures in his storage bag must be plentiful.


    Yue Zutao admired Chen Mobai¡¯s calmness, but he did not know that the latter was already thinking about opening the storage bag after the battle ended.


    At this moment, an extremely strong spiritual pressure rushed towards the two of them.


    Chen Mobai immediately became stern and looked up at the big-bearded cultivator who was stepping forward from the sky not far away, his palms stained with blood.


    ¡°No good, it¡¯s Mu Hanxiong, one of the Nine Peak Masters of Shake Mountain, a late-stage Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator. We are no match for him.¡±


    Upon seeing who it was, Yue Zutao¡¯s face turned pale.


    The path of Body Cultivation is difficult and consumes a lot of Spirit Stones, but once successful, they become a headache for all Cultivators.


    Only a top-ranked Sword Cultivator who has trained to the point of Sword Rainbow Fission can penetrate their defense¡­.


    Wait, Sword Light!


    Reminded of this, Yue Zutao suddenly recalled what Gong Wanshan had shouted earlier.


    Because he had just managed to survive, he hadn¡¯t reacted in time.


    Now he returned to his senses!


    He suddenly turned to look at Chen Mobai, who was calm and controlling two Flying Swords.


    ¡°Senior brother Yue, I need to concentrate fully to fight this person, I may not be able to pay attention to you after this.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As he spoke, the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± on Chen Mobai¡¯s wrist scattered, turning into a mist-like cloud of gas carrying him into the sky.


    Upon hearing these words, Yue Zutao swallowed nervously.


    He had been thinking about how to run away a moment ago.


    This younger brother Chen was too courageous.


    Perhaps only this kind of unyielding spirit can form Sword Rainbow Fission at such a realm.

 Chapter 424 - Chapter 424: Chapter 311: The Power of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact_1

    Chapter 424: Chapter 311: The Power of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact_1


    Yue Zutao first heard of Chen Mobai when he demonstrated his Sword Qi Long Rainbow at the Qi Cultivating Realm, dominating the sect¡¯s grand competition.


    His reputation as an unparalleled genius in sword cultivation spread throughout the Divine Wood Sect, reaching the ears of all cultivators.


    However, at that time, to those at the Foundation Establishment stage, he was merely seen as a potential fellow cultivator of immense talent.


    Little did they know that within just one year of becoming a formal disciple, Chen Mobai would successfully establish his foundation.


    So, when E Yun proposed to bring Chen Mobai to pay him a visit, Yue Zutao readily agreed.


    The first impression Chen Mobai left on Yue Zutao was a positive one.


    He was a genius, but unlike arrogant figures like Hong He and Mu Yuan, he was gentle and elegant in his speech and manners, not at all like the fervently devoted sword cultivators often portrayed in tales.


    In retrospect, Yue Zutao realized that he had judged Chen Mobai solely by his appearance.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s true personality as a sword cultivator was hidden deep within him, not displayed falsely on the surface like others.


    His sword path had reached the stage where he could wield it at will.


    The sharpness, straightness, and essence of his sword were engraved deeply in his heart, erupting passionately in the moment his sword left its sheath, charging forward fearlessly amid a sea of opponents.


    Chen Mobai was unaware of the admiration that arose in Yue Zutao¡¯s heart when he saw him fly into the air to confront Mu Hanxiong.


    Even though he had fought and won against hundreds of foundation establishment cultivators in Little Red Sky, this was the first time he was facing someone in the late stages of foundation establishment.


    If he had the choice, Chen Mobai would certainly not want to engage in a life-or-death battle with Mu Hanxiong.


    However, the reality was that he had killed Ji Dao Yuan, and the foundation establishment cultivators of Shake Mountain were bent on avenging him.


    After Gong Wanshan roared, three foundation establishment cultivators from Rock Country stepped up to help Mu Hanxiong break free from the formation laid out by Lian Chenghai¡¯s quartet. Taking advantage of the chaos, Mu Hanxiong managed to kill one of the cultivators, releasing some of his pent-up rage caused by Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s death.


    ¡°I will claim your life to pay respects to Dao Yuan.¡±


    Mu Hanxiong spoke coldly. Now, he had donned full body armor, surrounded by a rust-colored aura, appearing like a deity of iron.


    ¡°You could be the first late foundation establishment cultivator I kill, and I will remember you.¡±


    As Chen Mobai uttered these words, he was about to use the Heavenly Wood Talisman to activate the Green Sun Tree Seed that Chu Zuoshu had given him.


    Suddenly, a green spirit light flew towards him, shielding his front.


    It was Fu Huakun, the Reward Virtue Hall Inspector of the Divine Wood Sect, who was second only to Chu Zuoshu at the late Foundation Establishment Realm.


    ¡°Leave him to me, you deal with the other foundation establishment cultivators from Rock Country.¡±


    Fu Huakun had been unable to take action before due to the need to restore the Earth Gold Knife Array. Now that he was in the air, it became clear that the array had been fully repaired.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai looked up and indeed, the Earth-Metal Armour, which had previously been split into three sections, was now slowly being repaired and augmented by the abundant spiritual energy from the earth veins.


    However, if Fu Huakun was now dealing with Mu Hanxiong, then who was controlling the Earth Gold Knife Array?


    Now wasn¡¯t the time to worry about that. Since Fu Huakun had sprung into action, arrangements must have been made.


    ¡°Be careful, Inspector Fu. This man is not to be underestimated.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai had not engaged Mu Hanxiong in combat, their clash of auras allowed him to glimpse the immense vitality within his opponent¡¯s body through his Void Spirit Eye. Indeed, he was a formidable adversary, not at all inferior to Lu Qiulong.


    Fu Huakun nodded in response. With the activation of his Heavenly Wood Talisman, the seed in his palm blossomed into a twelve-meter-tall Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    ¡°First, I¡¯ll kill you.¡±


    Seeing Fu Huakun expanding his domain, Mu Hanxiong realised that unless he killed this man, he wouldn¡¯t be able to get to Chen Mobai.


    Taking a deep breath, his body was engulfed in a surge of rust-colored energy.


    At the same time, three similar lights flew towards him and landed beside him.


    ¡°Peak Master, we will hold him off. You go after that Sword Cultivator from Divine Wood Sect. If that man is not eliminated, he will remain a continual threat.¡±


    Mu Hanxiong¡¯s eyes narrowed, but without voicing any objections, he turned around to bypass Fu Huakun and charged towards Chen Mobai.


    Fu Huakun, upon seeing this, couldn¡¯t help but furrow his brows. Reaching into his storage bag, he released a green-black glow which instantly transformed into a wooden puppet.


    The wooden puppet, brandishing a two-meter-long wooden spear, maneuvered agilely atop the Qingyang Spirit Tree and lunged straight at Mu Hanxiong.


    ¡°First get past us!¡±


    However, one of Shake Mountain¡¯s foundation establishment cultivators intercepted the puppet with his ring-headed broad sword. The slash of his sword was akin to a boulder crashing into calm waters.

    The grandeur of his sword radiance was such that both the puppet and its spear were knocked back to Fu Huakun.


    However, at this moment, three more green-black glows emerged from Fu Huakun¡¯s storage bag ¡ª another three Rank-2 wooden puppets materialized, each wielding a different weapon: a wooden knife, a wooden sword, and a wooden shield. They formed a small square-shaped battlefield around Fu Huakun and the Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    ¡°We¡¯re here to help.¡±


    Two more foundation establishment cultivators flew over ¡ª one of them was Gong Wanshan, and the other was an elder from a Rock Country foundation establishment family. Along with the three cultivators from Shake Mountain, the five of them launched an attack on Fu Huakun. Even though Fu Huakun had a higher cultivation level, he was forced to focus entirely on deploying his Longevity Sutra to the maximum at this moment.


    From his storage bag, eight more Rank-1 wooden puppets emerged. Along with the previously summoned four Rank-2 puppets, they arranged a simplified version of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation around the Qingyang Spirit Tree.

 Chapter 425 - Chapter 425: Chapter 311: The Power of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact_2

    Chapter 425: Chapter 311: The Power of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact_2


    Upon witnessing this spectacle, Gong Wanshan and the other four exchanged glances, instantly feeling a headache brewing.


    If the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s cultivators began to deploy this formation, even if the five of them collaborated, they might not be able to break through this realm.


    However, they had no room to retreat on the battlefield. If they didn¡¯t stop Fu Huakun here, the latter could easily act. Whether it was dealing with Mu Hanxiong or attacking the Qi Practitioners from Rock Country, it would be a significant issue.


    If Mu Hanxiong were held back, then the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s young man, who had perfected the Sword Rainbow Fission technique, could challenge any of them individually and ensure a fatal outcome.


    On the other hand, if they avoided Fu Huakun¡¯s strongest attack now, then the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation would show the Qi Practitioners of the Rock Country what it means to mow the grass.


    The harm caused by the Immortality Skill was average, relevant only to cultivators of the same realm.


    If a Qi Practitioner was up against this skill, even ordinary wooden arrows, which were unblockable Rank-2 spells, would pose a problem.


    Rock Country attacked Rolling Thunder Mountain with a force of twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators and twelve hundred Qi Practitioners.


    The strongest among them, Ji Dingjin and Chu Zuoshu, battled fiercely in the air above the mountain peak, but everyone knew that Ji Dingjin holding on was their biggest victory.


    Fu Huakun, the second most potent cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect after Chu Zuoshu, didn¡¯t show himself earlier due to his preparation of the Earth Gold Knife Array. Nevertheless, Mu Hanxiong had been vigilantly anticipating his arrival.


    However, growing impatient during the wait, Mu Hanxiong plunged into the battle array of Qi practitioners from Lei Nation.


    Lian Chenghai and the other four Foundation Establishment cultivators of Lei Nation, who were initially idle, had to join forces to pull Mu Hanxiong out of the Qi Practitioner battlefield, to save their kinsmen from more casualties.


    It was during this time that Ji Dao Yuan sought Chen Mobai and was confidently beaten by a single strike.


    ¡°Today, even an Immortal from the Upper Realm couldn¡¯t save you!¡±


    Mu Hanxiong flew to Chen Mobai¡¯s face, glanced at Fu Huakun, who was fighting against five others, and spoke coldly.


    In response to him, a splendid Purple Fire Sword Light flared.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t bother to waste words with him.


    The abundant combat experience in Little Red Sky made him acutely aware of his strengths and weaknesses.


    Although his spiritual power was comparable to that of a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator due to the practice of Two Phases Technique, he knew he could not compete with the late-stage cultivators. Hence, a quick battle resolution was imperative.


    Of course, Mu Hanxiong understood the formidable power of the Sword Light.


    The Body Cultivators of the Shake Mountain, fear such top-ranked Sword Cultivators who have mastered the Sword Light.


    In fact, during the Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment stages, the Body Cultivators could claim to be the strongest among their peers.


    Aside from a few cultivators who had practiced unique Cultivation Techniques, even Sword Cultivators found it impossible to breach their defenses.


    However, a Sword Cultivator who had mastered Sword Rainbow Fission was another story.


    The extremely refined Sword Qi could cut through even pure iron, let alone the body of a Body Cultivator.


    Nonetheless, having completed Foundation Establishment over a hundred years ago and having battled with Golden Cliff Elders who have cultivated Sword Light, Mu Hanxiong had his unique experiences and techniques for battling top-ranked Sword Cultivators.


    ¡°Iron Armor Cultivation!¡±


    With a fierce shout, the swirling black-red energy streams around him merged with his armor instantaneously, further fortifying the Rank-2 Magic Artifact with another layer of energy shield.


    Add to that his robust physical body.


    With three layers of defenses, he was able to grasp Chen Mobai¡¯s Purple Fire Sword Light, despite his palm being ripped open and smoke rising from it. He could undoubtedly endure the Sword Light.


    Amid a roaring sound.


    Mu Hanxiong swiftly moved in mid-air, lunged at Chen Mobai, and launched a powerful palm strike.


    Sword Cultivators were generally offensively strong but defense-wise weak¡ªthe polar opposite of Body Cultivators.


    As long as they landed one close-range attack, they could crush their foes¡¯ fragile bodies.


    However, Chen Mobai, who had experienced countless battles in Little Red Sky, was quite familiar with this tactic due his peers in the four major Daoist Academies and the top ten universities coming up with various strategies against it.


    With the rapid operation of his Divine Sense, the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± around him condensed into a dark-red fire gas¡ªlike an incredibly soft cotton cloth, dissolving most of the powerful force in Mu Hanxiong¡¯s palm.


    Then, spots of green light flew out as the full power of the Green Scale Arm Guard was unleashed, transforming into a six-fold scale shield.


    Mu Hanxiong¡¯s left palm fell, dispersing the misty cloud gas and breaking three shields. Although his palm lost its force, his right hand was already swinging down.


    Even more terrifying, his powerful right palm cleared all the clouds and mist around Chen Mobai, and the remaining three scale shields scattered into hundreds of pieces that filled the air.

    Yet, what met Mu Hanxiong¡¯s strike was a golden jade axe.


    This top-ranked Rank-2 Magic Artifact, after being instilled with five drops of liquid spiritual power by Chen Mobai, exploded with an unprecedented jade-like glow. It exhibited its sharpness to the fullest, not only breaking Mu Hanxiong¡¯s robust palm force but also shattering his energy shield, armor, and three-layer defense.


    Amid the sudden burst of bloody light, almost half of his palm was sliced off. However, Mu Hanxiong¡¯s expression remained unchanged.


    After trapping the golden jade axe with the bones of his right hand, the fully recharged left palm was violently slammed down on Chen Mobai, who was fully devoid of any protective energy.


    But at that moment, Mu Hanxiong saw Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes flash a clear lustrous gloss.

 Chapter 426 - Chapter 426: Chapter 311: The Power of Rank-3 Magic Artifact_3

    Chapter 426: Chapter 311: The Power of Rank-3 Magic Artifact_3


    Then a burst of Purple Fire Sword Light erupted, seeming like a purple meteor that was shot towards Mu Hanxiong¡¯s forehead.


    A faceless puppet, controlling the Flying Sparrow Hairpin, bursts out with a spiritual power fluctuation that was not inferior to the mid Foundation Establishment stage, and it flew from Chen Mobai¡¯s back.


    ¡°A puppet?¡±


    Seeing the exquisite faceless puppet took Mu Hanxiong by surprise. Although he was confident in his triple-layered defense, he didn¡¯t dare to take a risk about his eyebrows and his sense of the sea was similarly important.


    His left palm, which was originally smashed towards Chen Mobai¡¯s face, was raised, as he gripped the Purple Fire Sword Light. Then, the black and red spirit streamed around as he eradicated the Purple Fire Sword Light with his Iron Armor Cultivation.


    Both of the spiritual power explosions separated the two, letting Chen Mobai escape from the continuous attacks of his opponent.


    Using this time, Chen Mobai unfolded the tree seed with the Heavenly Wood Talisman. While he has been focusing on the Pure Yang Scroll over the years, he often practiced the spells from the Longevity Scripture within the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Mu Hanxiong once again rushed over, and the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light formed a large spiral-like spearhead under Chen Mobai¡¯s control of his divine sense, knocking his opponent away.


    However, the attack power of the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light was indeed a bit underwhelming. Mu Hanxiong¡¯s outer Qi Armor was only broken, the person himself took off unscratched, and once again charged towards Chen Mobai.


    Chirp sound resounds.


    Chen Mobai finally initiated the ready Bing Fire Divine Thunder Technique. The red electricity, like a spirit snake, gushed out from his palm and heavily struck Mu Hanxiong¡¯s body.


    As the thunder and lightning continued to strike, Mu Hanxiong widened his eyes. After taking a bottle of Qi restoration elixir, he pushed his Iron Armor Cultivation to its extreme. Surprisingly, he resisted the Bing Fire Divine Thunder and the arrows raining from the sky, once again forcefully rushing to Chen Mobai¡¯s front.


    Hummmmm!


    But at this time, Chen Mobai took the fully charged Flying Sparrow Hairpin from the hand of the faceless puppet.


    He opened his mouth and spat, infusing the tiny and exquisite Flying Sword with his own Qi of Yuan Yang.


    In an instant, the sword light was blazing like a sun that had escaped the darkness, under the horizon¡¯s restraint, it erupted with an unprecedented blinding brilliance.


    Mu Hanxiong who had just rushed up, received Chen Mobai¡¯s strongest sword strike, bolstered by his own Fire Spirit Body, the Sun Raising Technique, and Qingyang Fire Seed.


    With the swing of this sword, another sun seemed to emerge over the entire Rolling Thunder Mountain!


    Mu Hanxiong widened his eyes, outside of his triple defenses of Qi Armor, Physical Armor, and his Physical body, he also took out a Rank-2 defensive Spirit Talisman.


    Yet, even so, under this sword, all of them were broken.


    Amidst the emergence of the blood, Chen Mobai frowned slightly.


    He felt that this sword couldn¡¯t completely slaughter Mu Hanxiong.


    After hesitating for a moment, he took out the ultimate Magic Artifact he had been saving.


    The Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror ascended behind his head, injecting 12 drops from the remaining 15 drops of Longevity Spiritual Power housed within his Dantian Qi sea, into this Rank-3 Magic Artifact.

    A semi-transparent, golden color flash of fire vomited out from the face of the mirror, landing on Mu Hanxiong who just survived the Sword Light.


    Mu Hanxiong was seen to have a deeply visible wound that could be seen directly into his bone on his chest from the Sword Light, blood was all over the place. Based on his four-layered defense, he survived Chen Mobai¡¯s strongest sword strike.


    ¡°Hahaha, the Sword Rainbow Fission is nothing special, after this battle, I can see the path to the perfection of Foundation Establishment. Boy from Divine Wood Sect, to thank you, I will leave your body intact¡­ Ah¡­ What¡¯s this¡­¡±


    As the golden flames fell, Mu Hanxiong¡¯s prideful Qi Armor, Physical Armor, and his flesh turned into flying ashes in an instant.


    The Peak Master of Shake Mountain Peak, a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, turned into flakes of ashes under everyone¡¯s horrified gazes, scattering across the sky.

 Chapter 427 - Chapter 427: Chapter 312: Post-War Spoils_1

    Chapter 427: Chapter 312: Post-War Spoils_1


    ¡°Retreat.¡±


    Up in the sky, the voice of Ji Dingjin sounded.


    But there was no need for him to say it. After witnessing Chen Mobai turn Mu Hanxiong into flying ashes, the cultivators from Rock Country who came to attack Rolling Thunder Mountain had already lost their will to fight.


    Some Foundation Establishment cultivators had guessed the grade of that mirror, their eyes full of fear and a hint of greed.


    However, Mu Hanxiong¡¯s ashes still floated in the sky, and no one dared to step further in the direction of Chen Mobai.


    Even when the retreat order was given, everyone was eager to leave.


    They were afraid that if they left too late, they too would be dispersed by this handsome boy from the Divine Wood Sect.


    Chu Zuoshu did not stop them. After all, they were even fewer in number. That they were able to hold off this attack on the mountain was an extraordinary feat.


    You must understand that, before the battle, Chu had even hinted at Chen Mobai and the others that if the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array was broken, everyone should scatter and flee.


    Before Ji Dingjin left, he gave Chen Mobai a significant look. The latter, with his powerful divine sense, naturally noticed this glance.


    At the moment of their eye contact, Chen Mobai saw a deep murderous intent in Ji Dingjin¡¯s eyes.


    He had a feeling that this old man might risk his own life to take him down.


    If Chu Zuoshu was not present at the moment, Ji Dingjin might have attacked long ago.


    ¡°Don¡¯t pursue a desperate enemy.¡±


    The cultivators from Rock Country escaped through the hole in the Earth-Metal Armour which hadn¡¯t completely repaired itself. More than three hundred cultivators who were still alive on Rolling Thunder Mountain were about to break out to chase them, but Chu Zuoshu stopped them.


    Three flashes of spiritual light rose into the sky. It was the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Lei Nation, Lian Chenghai and others. Initially, there were four of them, but the eldest from the Bao family was unlucky and died in Mu Hanxiong¡¯s hands.


    The three of them joined forces, halting the Qi practitioners on Rolling Thunder Mountain who were about to pursue their attack.


    Chu Zuoshu also gathered the people from Divine Wood Sect and looked at the numbers, his face turned gloomy.


    The battle at Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    Rock Country lost six Foundation Establishment cultivators, and over two hundred Qi Practitioners.


    On the Lei Nation¡¯s side, one of the Foundation Establishment elders of the four major families died, two of the eight Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Reward Virtue Hall of the Divine Wood Sect also died, and the other Qi practitioners suffered a loss of nearly one hundred.


    If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t killed Mu Hanxiong with his Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, causing the cultivators of Rock Country to be terrified, and if the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array hadn¡¯t started to repair and close, trapping Ji Dingjin in fear, this battle would not have ended so quickly.


    The two Foundation Establishment cultivators from Divine Wood Sect who died were named Feng Feixiong and Liu Mingjing. They were both cultivators at the early Foundation Stage, both died in the midst of the siege.


    Chen Mobai had become acquainted with them along the way. It¡¯s a pity that they didn¡¯t get to know each other well before they had closed their eyes forever.


    Chu Zuoshu cremated the two bodies directly on Rolling Thunder Mountain, but their storage bags had been seized by the cultivators from Rock Country.


    ¡°Record the achievements of the two younger brothers. If they have descendants or disciples who achieve Qi Cultivation Perfection in the future, the sect will prioritize the supply of Foundation Building Pills.¡±


    Yue Zutao listened to Chu Zuoshu¡¯s words and nodded solemnly.


    At this moment, Lian Chenghai and the other two came over. They were accompanied by a grieving-looking boy of fifteen or sixteen and presented a storage bag.


    ¡°Master Chu, this is the most outstanding member of the Bao family¡¯s current generation. Let him consume the Foundation Building Pill. If possible, we hope that he could become your disciple. This is the tribute to the master from the Bao family.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu nodded in agreement to the first half of Lian Chenghai¡¯s words.


    ¡°I have not accepted any disciples for a long time. However, the Foundation Building Pill is my commitment. As soon as the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms matures, as long as he achieves Qi Cultivation Perfection, the first one will be supplied to him.¡±


    Since he didn¡¯t agree to accept a disciple, naturally, Chu Zuoshu did not accept the storage bag.


    ¡°After the elder Bao died, the three veins of the Bao family have already started to fight internally. Although QiYuan was the successor appointed by Elder Bao in advance, I¡¯m afraid that even if the Foundation Building Pill comes down, it may not reach QiYuan¡¯s hands.¡±


    Lian Chenghai sighed and handed the object to the young man of the Bao surname.


    ¡°Great Immortal Chen, I want to acknowledge you as my master to learn swordsmanship.¡±


    After receiving the storage bag, QiYuan took a firm bite and directly turned around and knelt in front of Chen Mobai, his hands held high.


    ¡°For the elders of our sect to accept a disciple, one must first become a disciple of our sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai was taken aback but refused tactfully.


    At the same time, he held out his hand, and his soft Longevity Spiritual Power pulled QiYuan up.


    Indeed, there was such a rule in the Divine Wood Sect. Chen Mobai had learned this from Yuan Chiye during his time at the Bud Hall.


    Foundation Establishment cultivators who were traveling around, seeing those with exceptional Spiritual Root Talents, would first have the disciples join the Divine Wood Sect before accepting them as disciples.


    The reason for this additional step was because this was a rule passed down from the time of the Five Elements Sect. It was set up by Hun Yuan Grandmaster.


    Although the Divine Wood Sect had split up, they still recognize this Grandmaster.


    ¡°Why not acknowledge the Divine Wood Sect first? I wonder if this is okay.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Seeing this, Lian Chenghai immediately intervened.


    Meeting this small request, Chu Zuoshu naturally agreed.


    The battle with Shake Mountain Peak had been planned by the high-levels long ago, expecting that the number of Qi cultivation disciples in the sect would decrease substantially after the battle. They predicted that the normally every-decade crossing of the boundary to accept disciples might have to be shortened.


    Chu Zuoshu, as the future sect leader, still had the right to accept a disciple into the Divine Wood Sect in advance.


    ¡°The Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array has been fully repaired, but too much spiritual energy from the earth veins has been extracted. The next time Shake Mountain attacks, the power may not be as great as it was today.¡±

 Chapter 428 - Chapter 428: Chapter 312: Post-War Harvest_2

    Chapter 428: Chapter 312: Post-War Harvest_2


    After arranging for Bao Qiyuan to leave, Lian Chenghai returned to consult with the Divine Wood Sect on the next course of action.


    When Fu Huakun made his move, it was Lian Chenghai who was controlling the Array Plate and repairing the Large Formation.


    Before the two sects engaged in a war, he was the one presiding over the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array, so he was very familiar with it.


    ¡°Thanks to Junior Brother Chen¡¯s sword light deterrence, after this battle, Mountain Shaker Peak would certainly not dare to come over,¡± said Fu Huakun, prompting expressions of relief from the Foundation Establishment Cultivators.


    All of them looked at Chen Mobai in astonishment. He simply shook his head modestly, implying that the victory was due to everyone¡¯s joint effort.


    ¡°No wonder the Sect Leader was a bit reluctant when I said I wanted to bring you out,¡± Chu Zuoshu said, recalling the moment before they had left Shenmu Hall.


    He had noticed the communication between Chen Mobai and Meng Hong, initially assuming the Sect Leader had given them some secret assignment, but now he understood Meng Hong¡¯s regretful expression.


    It seemed like a bit of a waste to use this unparalleled Divine Sword on the battlefield.


    However, if it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai, Rolling Thunder Mountain might have knocked a few teeth out from Mountain Shaker Peak, but they would¡¯ve likely suffered heavy casualties.


    Moreover, being able to kill Ji Dao Yuan and Mu Hanxiong, the future and present of Mountain Shaker Peak, was already a significant gain.


    ¡°We still need to be careful of any additional support from Mountain Shaker Peak, Ji Dao Yuan and Mu Hanxiong¡¯s deaths here wouldn¡¯t be taken lightly by Ji Zhenshi,¡± said Yue Zutao, who was the most calm among them and raised the worst possibility.


    After all, Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s stronghold is right across the Rock Country. With Mu Hanxiong, one of the nine Peak Masters dead but with six Foundation Establishment Cultivators remaining, they could not hold their ground even with the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array if Mountain Shaker Peak roused the forces of two countries under it.


    ¡°The sect¡¯s main forces will arrive in two days, but given Junior Brother Chen¡¯s astonishing swordsmanship talent, I fear Mountain Shaker Peak will spare no effort to stop him,¡± Yue Zutao said worriedly. If he were Ji Zhenshi, he would certainly do so upon hearing that the Divine Wood Sect had a prodigy who had practiced Sword Rainbow Fission in the early foundation stage.


    ¡°If Mountain Shaker Peak acts on this, they might lose half of the sect¡¯s power.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu laughed, then delivered some good news.


    ¡°Quan Shanlin has already led twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators from our sect here in advance, they will likely arrive tonight.¡±


    Qi Practitioners can¡¯t fly, so they rely on the sect¡¯s Flying Boat or Floating Airship for transport, but Foundation Establishment Cultivators are different. Even at the expense of Spiritual Power and Magic Artifact, it only takes four to five days to get here from Giant Tree Ridge.


    Of the Divine Wood Sect, it¡¯s Penalty Evil Hall that goes to war.


    But it was necessary for Quan Shanlin to wait for the Sect Leader¡¯s order to gather Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Due to the preparation of Legal Treasures, talismans, and arrangements of aftermath prior to battle, it took three days to prepare before setting off.


    Fortunately, Mountain Shaker Peak was also unprepared, enabling Chu Zuoshu to stall until this day.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, the mirror you used to kill Mu Hanxiong doesn¡¯t seem to be a regular Rank-2 Magic Artifact.¡±


    That night, while Chu Zuoshu and others were secretly welcoming Quan Shanlin and other sect cultivators, Chen Mobai and Yue Zutao were drinking tea. Suddenly, the latter posed a question.


    ¡°Right, it¡¯s the Rank-3 Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.¡±


    After hearing this, Yue Zutao sighed in relief, then proceeded to say earnestly.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, Rank-3 Magic Artifacts are extraordinarily precious. Only the two elders and the Sect Leader in our sect own them. It¡¯s better not to reveal them when you¡¯re alone outside.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for the reminder, Brother Yue. I used it today because it was a matter of life and death, and I felt safe amongst my fellow brothers.¡±


    Earlier, while discussing strategies, Chen Mobai sensed that everyone¡¯s gazes were often on him. Even Chu Zuoshu seemed to want to speak but ended up keeping silent. He probably wanted to inquire about the Rank-3 Magic Artifact, but it was considered a taboo in the Tianhe Realm to probe others¡¯ Magic Artifacts and Cultivation Techniques, even among fellow sect members.


    It took a lot of determination for Yue Zutao to bring it up. It also meant that since Chen Mobai had saved him today, he now regarded him as a true friend.


    ¡°After the conflict on Rolling Thunder Mountain, Junior Brother Chen¡¯s reputation will probably echo throughout the Eastern Wilderness. However, once the battle is over, Master will succeed the Sect Leader, so it¡¯s better for you to focus on practicing and raising your Realm in the sect. If you form the Core, our Divine Wood Sect will be truly secure. It might even return to the Five Elements Sect and dominate the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    In Yue Zutao¡¯s words, a lot of information was revealed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°If I could, I¡¯d love to keep practicing my swordsmanship and drinking wine in Xiao Nanshan. Unfortunately, Elder Brother Yuan was the one who brought me into the sect. If he¡¯s in trouble and I don¡¯t come, I won¡¯t feel at peace.¡±


    What Chen Mobai said was from the bottom of his heart. His bond with the Divine Wood Sect was due not just to his disciples but also to E Yun, Yuan Chiye, and even Sect Leader Meng Hong treating him sincerely.


    Given Yuan Chiye¡¯s unknown fate, he couldn¡¯t just sit idly in Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°Fortune smiles upon the blessed. By the way, Junior Brother Chen, you killed three Foundation Establishment Cultivators, did you get a great haul?¡±


    Yue Zutao swiftly changed the topic to lift the mood by bringing up some good news.

 Chapter 429 - Chapter 429: Chapter 312: Post-War Harvest_3

    Chapter 429: Chapter 312: Post-War Harvest_3


    Chen Mobai shook his head and placed two storage bags in front of him. He first emptied out the one on the left, which contained over two hundred of lower-grade spiritual stones, a cultivation technique manual, an armor set, and five bottles of pills of unknown purpose.


    ¡°Mu Hanxiong¡¯s storage bag turned to ashes together with his corpse by the Rank-3 magic artifact. Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s storage bag only contains these spirit stones and this ¡®Nine Slaying Technique¡¯ manual, along with this Rank-1 superior armor. It¡¯s quite surprising for him being a famed disciple of Mountain Shaker Peak to be less wealthy than Zheng Wulyu.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a look of disgust as he shook the right storage bag.


    A small mountain of over two thousand lower-grade spiritual stones poured out. This pile included fifty translucent intermediate-grade spiritual stones, a Rank-2 flying sword radiating spiritual light, a damaged Heart Protecting Mirror, and, of course, an array of different pills.


    Zheng Wulyu, as the patriarch of a family, was far wealthier than Ji Dao Yuan, having over seven thousand spiritual stones alone.


    This Rank-2 superior flying sword is worth nearly two thousand spiritual stones; it¡¯s just a pity that the Rank-2 lower-grade protective magic artifact, the Heart Protecting Mirror, has been damaged while blocking Chen Mobai¡¯s sword light.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, haven¡¯t you heard the saying, ¡®Among the hundred arts of cultivation, alchemists are the richest, while body cultivators are the poorest¡¯?¡±


    Yue Zutao laughed and remarked.


    Among cultivators, alchemists are the richest, while body cultivators are the poorest. The latter needs to constantly purchase blood and flesh of spirit beasts, spirit rice and spirit vegetables, combined with all kinds of pills that strengthen their Qi-blood and refine their bones. Essentially, no matter how many spiritual stones they have, they are bound to spend them all.


    Even if Mu Hanxiong¡¯s storage bag had not been burnt to ashes by the Six Suns Divine Fire Mirror, the items inside would probably not exceed those of Ji Dao Yuan¡¯s.


    It is well known that amongst the seven major sects of Eastern Wilderness, the cultivators of Shake Mountain Peak are the poorest.


    Ji Zhenshi had to sell himself to the Xuan Xiao Corporation as a bodyguard to acquire a set of Rank-3 armor after his Core Formation. He is still working there, having to escort goods from time to time.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt slightly better knowing that Mu Hanxiong was also poor, therefore, his own loss was minimal.


    ¡°Junior brother, you can let Lian Chenghai deal with these pills. The cultivators from Lei Nation are gathered here already, so it should be easy to sell them. As for this flying sword, the value of magic artifacts has risen a lot due to the war between our two sects. If auctioned, it could probably fetch over two thousand spiritual stones.¡±


    Yue Zutao¡¯s suggestion resonated with Chen Mobai. However, this flying sword is of the earth-attribute, which is not compatible with his own. If kept for his disciples, it might have to be kept for a long time. It would be better to exchange it directly for resources that could enhance his combat abilities.


    ¡°Elder Brother Yue, do you have a Qingyang Fire Seed?¡±


    Yue Zutao, one of the most outstanding Spirit Plant Masters in the Divine Wood Sect, was among the few Foundation Establishment cultivators who could take care of the sect¡¯s Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Trees. These spirit trees might burst out Qingyang Fire Seeds under certain conditions during their promotion.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    A Qingyang Spirit Tree that failed to level up successfully and a Golden Sun Spirit Tree that did level up successfully both have a chance to produce Qingyang Fire Seeds.


    Being natural Spiritual Fire, the Divine Wood Sect would assign specific Spirit Plant Masters to collect them during the spirit tree¡¯s promotion process. If lucky, they could collect a Qingyang Fire Seed from every ten Qingyang Spirit Trees that got promoted.


    ¡°I understand what Junior Brother Chen means. I see that your fire seed is about to advance to become a complete ¡®Qingyang Fire.¡¯ You want to merge two fire seeds to shorten this process, right?¡±


    While saying this, Yue Zutao took out a clay pot from his own storage bag.


    Upon opening and looking inside, Chen Mobai saw a Qingyang Fire Seed burning.

 Chapter 430 - Chapter 430: Chapter 313 Mysterious Yin Sha_1

    Chapter 430: Chapter 313 Mysterious Yin Sha_1


    Chapter 313: Mysterious Frost Yin Sha


    In the more than twenty years since Yue Zutao¡¯s Foundation Establishment, he had only managed to gather two Qingyang Fire Seeds, one of which he had handed over to the sect. The one he currently held was his own harvest.


    In the Spirit Treasure Pavilion owned by the Divine Wood Sect, the price tag for the Qingyang Fire Seed was 10,000 Good Deed Points. However, due to its high demand, it was usually overstated by about twenty percent.


    Chen Mobai gave all the items from the two storage bags he had obtained this time to Yue Zutao, which was equivalent to just over 10,000 spirit stones.


    Yue Zutao really wanted to show his gratitude to Chen Mobai. If it were someone else, he wouldn¡¯t even think of giving away the Qingyang Fire Seed.


    ¡°Disciple, you should make a copy of this ¡®Nine Slaying Technique¡¯. Our sect doesn¡¯t have this cultivation technique. I will submit it to the Transmission Department when I return, and it could be exchanged for some contribution points.¡±


    In the Divine Wood Sect, contribution points were akin to the Good Deed Points of the Immortal School. They could be directly exchanged for spirit stones, as well as all kinds of herbs and foundation building pills required by the sect, which was why many sect disciples would take on tasks to accumulate them.


    As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Chen Mobai could also post tasks in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. He could choose whether to pay in contribution points or spirit stones, as the sect didn¡¯t enforce this.


    ¡°Many thanks to senior brother Yue. I happen to have a disciple with a good Earth Spirit Root, this ¡®Nine Slaying Technique¡¯ can be brought back for her to refer to.¡±


    In truth, Chen Mobai did not regard the Nine Slaying Technique highly. After all, he could download as many of such techniques as he wanted from the Immortal School.


    However, he could not share the techniques from the Immortal School with his three disciples. Compared to this, the Nine Slaying Technique was already one of the most renowned Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques in the Eastern Wilderness.


    This was a Body Forging technique, with a total of nine levels.


    It¡¯s challenging to get started with the Nine Slaying Technique, but the complete version can be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul Realm.


    However, Ji Dao Yuan only had the first six levels.


    After Chen Mobai finished copying it, he sketched out a plan and found that while practicing this technique, one would not only need to consume various types of Spirit Rice and Meat over a long period of time, but they would also need specially formulated blood and energy replenishing pills at each stage. It was very detailed and far superior to Divine Wood Sect¡¯s ¡°Earth Spiritual Body¡± technique.


    The Nine Slaying Technique could perfectly fill the void in the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s high-grade Earth Attribute Body Forging Techniques.


    It was a pity though, that it wasn¡¯t the complete version, but perhaps the Shake Mountain Peak only had this much.


    After all, in the Eastern Wasteland, only the Hun Yuan old ancestor had managed to reach the Nascent Soul Formation in the last thousand years. The techniques that could be cultivated to the Nascent Soul Level were even rarer than Rank-3 Magic Artifacts.


    It was said that after Ji Zhenshi formed his core, he had to mortgage twenty percent of the profits from the Void Dark Stone Mine to Xuan Xiao Corporation, in order to purchase a Body Forging technique that could be cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, each Qingyang Fire Seed contains a different spiritual nature. When you are fusing and refining it, don¡¯t be too hasty.¡±


    Just before leaving, Yue Zutao reminded him again.


    The Qingyang Fire Seed is a heavenly spiritual fire, born during the process of a Qingyang Spirit Tree evolving into a Golden Sun Spirit Tree. As the divine souls of each Spirit Tree are different, every Fire Seed also has different spiritual natures.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, besides the two old Nascent Souls, only three or four people have managed to cultivate the complete ¡°Qingyang Fire¡±.


    Yue Zutao had read their notes left in the Transmission Department, so he knew that the refining of Qingyang Fire Seeds also had to be done step by step, slowly.


    ¡°Thank you for your reminder, senior brother Yue.¡±


    Chen Mobai had obtained the pure Qingyang technique from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, which could quickly fuse and refine Qingyang Fire Seeds, but Yue Zutao was kind-hearted, so he thanked him very politely.


    ¡°After cultivating the Qingyang Fire, you can improve the realm of your Red Flame Sword Jue, and then, you can start condensing the Green Flames Sword Slaughter. However, the amount of Green Wood Evil in our Giant Tree Ridge is not much after being refined by the two Core Formation ancestors, and it has always been considered a taboo by the Sword Training Department. Brother Chen, if you want to condense the Sword Sha, you might need to plan for it in advance.¡±


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t aware of this until now.


    It was only because Yue Zutao considered him as a close friend that he revealed these matters.


    The next day.


    Chu Zuoshu arranged for Quan Shanlin and the other twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators who arrived at night to hide in the cave of Rolling Thunder Mountain. He intentionally increased the power of the Earth Gold Knife Array to misguide Shake Mountain Peak into thinking that they intended to hold out till the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s reinforcements arrived.


    After hesitating for a long time, Ji Dingjin, finally decided to attack when the other three late-stage Foundation Establishment peak masters from Shake Mountain Peak arrived with their sect¡¯s reinforcements.


    When they had spent a vast amount of spirit stones to activate the battle array and break through the Earth Gold Knife Array, Chu Zuoshu laughed heartily, and Quan Shanlin and the other twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect rushed out.


    Even with the number advantage still favoring the cultivators from Rock Country who had received support from Shake Mountain Peak¡¯s headquarters, they had fewer Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    When Ji Dingjin saw Quan Shanlin and the others, he didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately ordered a retreat.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But this time, Chu Zuoshu did not miss the great opportunity to pursue them.


    He led twenty-six Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect, plus three from Lei Nation, along with the remaining three hundred Qi Practitioners, to chase after the twenty flying boats of Shake Mountain Peak.


    Ji Dingjin, however, was not unworthy of his reputation. He led the three late-stage Foundation Establishment peak masters from Shake Mountain Peak, as well as the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Rock Country, and withstood the pursuit of the Divine Wood Sect without collapsing.


    This chase and retreat were extremely fierce.


    A late-stage Foundation Establishment peak master of Shake Mountain Peak, in order to block Chu Zuoshu, challenged him despite the difference in their levels. His fate was miserable. Although his sturdy body withstood seven rounds of Qing Light Impact, he was ultimately shot into a sieve and died, with his Qi and spiritual power exhausted.

 Chapter 431 - Chapter 431: Chapter 313 Mysterious Yin Sha_2

    Chapter 431: Chapter 313 Mysterious Yin Sha_2


    However, the Divine Wood Sect also lost three Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    Without Chu Zuoshu blocking, Ji Dingjin, at the risk of severely injuring his elemental energy, exhibited the Void Law Body, shattering the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation that besieged him. The three Penalty Evil Hall Inspectors who were involved in arrays of warfare that had their realms expanded were torn in two on the spot by Ji Dingjin.


    Apart from these three, another Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect, who was unlucky, was slain by a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from Rock Country who had concealed his cultivation level.


    The losses on Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s side were even more severe.


    In addition to the Peak Master who was slain by Chu Zuoshu, five Foundation Establishment cultivators also perished.


    The flying boats, bereft of the protection of Foundation Establishment cultivators, along with the over 300 Qi Practitioners from Rock Country inside, naturally also turned into scattered bones and flesh on the vast earth when they were shot down.


    This pursuit continued until it reached the Lei Nation¡¯s territory, and only stopped in front of a third-rank Spiritual Land where Ji Dingjin had already set up a defensive array.


    Chu Zuoshu then, along with cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect and Lei Nation, blocked the entrance to this third-rank Spiritual Land and the large formation for a whole day, until it was completely dark before calling the retreat and returning to Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­¡±


    ¡°This time we reaped benefits.¡±


    ¡°I killed three late-stage Qi Cultivators.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re remarkable, I only killed two. Let¡¯s show each other what good stuff we¡¯ve got.¡±


    During the night at Rolling Thunder Mountain, Chen Mobai and Yue Zutao sat outside, drinking and listening to the intermittent cheers of less than 200 cultivators from Lei Nation who were excited by the significant spoils of war, their faces each showing different expressions.


    ¡°Even though we won, we lost three senior brothers and one senior sister.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed, drinking all of the newly brewed spiritual wine made by Zhuo Ming in his cup. This was just matured before the expedition, and Zhuo Ming dug it out for him to bring along.


    It just so happened that today¡¯s victory was significant, so Chen Mobai directly opened the whole jar of wine and distributed it to the Foundation Establishment cultivators present.


    This spiritual wine was even more intense than the regular Jade Bud Spirit Wine. The moment it hit the throat it felt like a knife was rolling down, but the exhilaration of blood boiling and the drunkenness surging up immediately after was praised by many.


    Of course, there were also cultivators who abstained from alcohol.


    However, Yue Zutao and Chen Mobai both found a place where they drank happily. After three rounds of wine, they began to speak their true feelings.


    ¡°I can understand my junior brother¡¯s feelings. I didn¡¯t understand war at first either. You might not know this, but when I was accepted as a disciple by the Master, it was done under the name of the Five Element Sect. Even though I was merely a young boy at that time, I witnessed and experienced the bloody carnage of intra-sect battles for twenty years.¡±


    When Yue Zutao said this, there was no change in his expression. During the twenty years of the intra-sect war of the Five Element Sect, his best friend and seven out of the nine disciples from the Chu Zuoshu branch who were higher in rank than him also died.


    From the initial crying, to the subsequent hatred, then to numbness, and finally to the confusion after reconciliation.


    Listening to Yue Zutao recounting his life experiences, Chen Mobai could not help but have another cup of wine.


    ¡°One day, I will put an end to the chaos in the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    For the first time in his life, Chen Mobai expressed his aspirations in this world.


    Having lived in the Immortal Gate since childhood, he had never been accustomed to the Tianhe Realm environment, which involved fighting and plundering resources everywhere. If possible, he wanted to use his abilities to end this chaotic era and bring unprecedented peace and tranquility to this disorderly foreign world territory.


    Listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s drunk confession, Yue Zutao¡¯s long quiet heart stirred slightly.


    He looked at Chen Mobai¡¯s serious face, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he raised his wine cup.


    ¡°No wonder your level of understanding in the Sword Dao is so high. Your dao heart, ambition, and aspiration align perfectly with the Way of the Sword Cultivation: brave, diligent, and unstoppable. If you truly achieve your heart¡¯s desire, you may be able to reach the highest realm that Hun Yuan¡¯s Ancestor regretted not achieving in his lifetime.¡±


    Why the True Monarch of the Past was able to ascend, was because he had quelled the Yellow Dragon monster that had been causing disaster in Yunmeng River for a millennium and hence accumulated great merits.


    The upper echelons of the Five Element Sect know that Hun Yuan¡¯s Ancestor was actually able to become the first Nascent Soul in the Eastern Wilderness in the last millennium due to his inheritance.


    Hun Yuan¡¯s Ancestor¡¯s greatest regret before his Nirvana was that he was unable to repay his birthplace by establishing merits like his ascendant master and he was confined to the Nascent Soul Realm.


    The environment of Tianhe Realm makes all the immortal cultivators selfish from the start.


    The Five Element Sect upholds the teachings of the Hun Yuan Ancestor and tries its best to change this trend.


    For this reason, although there are occasional frictions and competitions among the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect, in actuality, they are relatively harmonious.


    During Yue Zutao¡¯s time in the Five Elements Sect, his nine senior brothers and sisters took great care of him, the youngest among them. That period was the happiest childhood of Yue Zutao¡¯s life.


    Unfortunately, the joy of those days now only served to amplify the pain of his memories.


    ¡°I drank too much and said things I don¡¯t mean. Brother Yue, please don¡¯t take it to heart,¡± said Chen Mobai who had finally come back to himself.


    The wine Zhuo Ming made seemed to amplify the different emotions in a cultivator¡¯s heart. He drank too much and started to be mumbling about the intensity of the battle and the sacrifices made in the daytime.


    However, Chen Mobai, due to his formidable Divine Sense, had already managed to control the influence of the alcohol. He laughed it off, making Yue Zutao believe that he had merely been babbling due to his drinks.


    ¡°Haha, please, brother,¡± said Yue Zutao, not pushing the matter any further. He presumed Chen Mobai had simply had too much to drink.


    After he put down the wine cup, Yue Zutao couldn¡¯t have enough and reached out for a small jug beside him, pouring it down his throat.


    Chen Mobai stood still, watching in astonishment as Yue Zutao finished the entire jug. Then, flushing deeply, he leaned on a side table and began to sing a nursery rhyme. His eyes were half dreamy, half drunk, and he seemed to be lost in memories. His gaze was vacant.


    ¡°Damn it, did Zhuo Ming make a mistake during the brewing? Is this actually poisoned wine?¡± Chen Mobai thought.


    Heaven forbid! This alarmed Chen Mobai into sobriety. He quickly rushed to Chu Zuoshu and the others. Luckily, they had not lost all reasons despite drinking some.


    Only a few of them seemed to be indulging unreservedly, probably because they were drowning their sorrows over the loss of their fellow Foundation Establishment Cultivator.


    ¡°Come over here. This is a good wine. Let¡¯s have another cup together.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu lifted his wine cup when he saw Chen Mobai, but he and Fu Huakun by his side merely took one sip.


    It seemed that as long as one didn¡¯t drink too much, there wouldn¡¯t be any problem.


    Chen Mobai then realized that this new wine Zhuo Ming brewed was at most of Rank-1. As for Foundation Establishment cultivators, they could just suppress the alcohol by using their Divine Sense if they didn¡¯t want to get drunk.


    Perhaps Yue Zutao had been overwhelmed with emotion.


    The next day when Chen Mobai woke up sober, he was thanked by many people.


    Because most of these Foundation Establishment Cultivators felt refreshed after a bout of heavy drinking, they seemed to experience a slight growth in their Divine Senses.


    According to Yue Zutao¡¯s personal testimony, this wine would awaken prematurely some depressing matters in one¡¯s mind, allowing the cultivators to handle them in advance. This significantly reduced the probability of awakening the Heart Demon during a realm breakthrough.


    Chu Zuoshu and the others who knew about this thanked Chen Mobai and ordered the new wine.


    ¡°Junior brother, what is this wine called?¡±


    ¡°This was just a casual brew, without a specific name yet. Brother Yue, do you have a name for it?¡±


    ¡°I now realize it is but a dream, and once awakened, what more to seek? Let¡¯s call it ¡®Realization Wine¡¯.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a good name,¡± Chen Mobai agreed, feeling the name to be apt so he adopted it.


    At this point, Chen Mobai noticed the gourd Yue Zutao was holding. Chen Mobai felt a chill as he looked at it and out of curiosity, he asked, ¡°What is this?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I had great luck this morning. I went to the Qi practitioners¡¯ stalls and saw this gourd of Mysterious Yin Sha. It was what I needed for my Mysterious Yin Thunder Child. Therefore, I spent a hundred Spirit Stones to buy it.¡±


    Mysterious Yin Sha!


    These substances were already protected within the immortal gates and extraction was prohibited.


    Could you really buy it at the stall of a Qi practitioner here!?


    Chen Mobai felt he ought to make the most out of his hard-trained Void Spirit Eye and give consumption in the Rolling Thunder Mountain Fang Market a boost.

 Chapter 432 - Chapter 432: Chapter 314: Earth Master_1

    Chapter 432: Chapter 314: Earth Master_1


    As soon as Chen Mobai heard about the Mysterious Yin Sha, he was reminded of the ¡°Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill¡± he had received from Master Zuo Gong, the head of the Sword Control Department at Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    In the Immortal Sect, due to the scarcity of Earth Sha Qi, divine skills like Sword Sha have basically become mere decorations.


    Exactly for this reason, the ¡°Collection of Sword¡¯s Kill¡± compiled by Zuo Gong and several experts from the Sword Dao Association was purely a display of skill, with no possibility of realization.


    Chen Mobai had been so busy advancing his Pure Yang Scroll cultivation for the past two years that he had almost forgotten about it.


    The Earth Sha Qi is sparse in the Immortal Sect, but it is not the same in the Tianhe Realm.


    Hearing that Chen Mobai was interested, Yue Zutao, who happened to be free, took him for a stroll at the newly opened Fang Market of Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    Although more than a hundred cultivators of Lei Nation were lost in the two wars, those who survived made quite a fortune.


    Sane loose cultivators were already thinking about opting out of this war, as selling all the magic artifacts, pills, and materials they had would yield enough spirit stones for them to cultivate for several or even ten years.


    The two sect wars had too many uncertainties. When a loose cultivator was faced with poverty, they would dare to risk everything.


    But now that they have accumulated a small fortune, they have started to value their lives and think about exchanging all the resources gained from the war into spirit stones and fleeing from the mountain.


    However, because of this, starting from last night, many good things that the Qi Practitioners at Rolling Thunder Mountain had put up for sale attracted many Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    Yue Zutao was a bit late, but he still bought the valuable Mysterious Yin Sha.


    By the time Chen Mobai started shopping, most of the Rank-2 spiritual objects had been snapped up.


    After all, no matter how much a Qi Practitioner earned, it couldn¡¯t compare to what a Foundation Establishment cultivator got.


    While strolling in the market, Chen Mobai and Yue Zutao bumped into two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect who had also received the news. The four of them greeted each other with a glance and then began to look for bargains on their own.


    None of them revealed their identities, as being known as a Foundation Establishment cultivator to the Qi Practitioners would certainly lead to a price increase for the goods they were eyeing.


    Chen Mobai also noticed that many Qi practitioners wearing masks, large bamboo hats, or other things to conceal their faces were for sale or browsing. Some even used a disguise technique to disguise themselves as entirely different people.


    However, this is just the way of loose cultivators. The core principle is not to flaunt wealth.


    If wealth is to be flaunted, change your face and name.


    If wealth has been revealed, run away immediately.


    Reminded by Yue Zutao, Chen Mobai also wore a fish scale mask, which reminded him of the scene when he swept across the four major Daoist academies in Little Red Sky and then battled in Crimson City.


    All of this was due to the troubles of fame.


    The two mixed with the crowd, looking at the stalls on both sides filled with various magic artifacts, pills, and unknown spiritual objects. Each Qi Practitioner would stop, pick up something they were interested in, compare it with others, negotiate a little, and then make the transaction.


    ¡°Now each Qi Practitioner has some nice things and a pretty good fortune. They are eager to leave the battlefield, so if they see something they need, they usually don¡¯t waste time and buy it directly.¡±


    Yue Zutao whispered to Chen Mobai, who was next to him.


    As they walked along, they saw many magic artifacts and spirit talismans being sold at low prices.


    However, the pills were the most popular commodities. Those produced by Back to Sky Valley were all snapped up, and those marked with the logos of the seven major factions in the Eastern Wilderness also attracted a number of people.


    However, it takes some experience to buy good pills, so the loose cultivators were still carefully identifying them.


    ¡°The prices of magic artifacts and spirit talismans have dropped a lot, haven¡¯t they?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked about the prices. Due to the two sect wars, the prices of these two items had been rising and were usually sold at a premium of twenty to thirty percent.


    But now, the situation had completely reversed.


    Probably because so many people had died, everyone had more magic artifacts than they were allowed and thought of using them to secure spirit stones, pills, and other resources.


    An influx of sellers naturally brought the prices down.


    Chen Mobai took a look and found they were all Rank-1 magic artifacts. Occasionally, there were some high-quality ones, but they were all useless to him and Yue Zutao.


    ¡°I found the Mysterious Yin Sha over there.¡±


    At this moment, Yue Zutao suddenly stopped. He pointed at a stall not far away, whispering to Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai nodded, understanding his hint, and walked over there alone.


    The stall owner was a seemingly honest middle-aged man. He had a yellow skin gourd, a jade vial, a bronze kettle, and other objects containing various Sha Qis on a blanket. He also had several books, six or seven pieces of mineral rocks, and two ordinary lower-grade Rank-1 magic artifacts, barely filling the entire stall.


    Surprisingly, there were even price tags in front of each item.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Mysterious Yin Sha, Fire Yang Sha, Clear Wind Sha, Tao Hua Sha, Grey Boulder, Ice Blue Jade, Fiery Copper Mine, Green Mist Stone¡­


    However, the place marked for Mysterious Yin Sha had been vacated, apparently bought by Yue Zutao.


    Earth Sha Qi is actually a higher-level spiritual energy, but because it contains some essence of the universe, ordinary cultivators could not refine it into their bodies.


    Only those who practice special cultivation techniques or require it for artifact refining could refine, extract or use it.


    Yue Zutao purchased it because Mysterious Yin Sha could be used to refine a kind of Yin Thunder.

 Chapter 433 - Chapter 433: Chapter 314: Earth Master_2

    Chapter 433: Chapter 314: Earth Master_2


    As for the remaining types of Evil Qi, as they were of no use to him, he naturally wouldn¡¯t buy them.


    After all, the use of Earthly Qi is limited, and Yue Zutao¡¯s cultivation level has been locked, so he couldn¡¯t make use of these things for the time being.


    [This person must be an Earth Master.]


    Chen Mobai took a look at the items on the stall and made a judgement.


    Among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, Earth Masters were the fewest in number. Not only was this craft extremely difficult to master, but also, the mineral spirit veins and Earthly Evil Qi within the immortal sects had been fully explored, leaving no future prospects.


    However, in the vast and abundant Tianhe Realm, Earth Masters still played significant roles.


    Ji Zhenshi, the elder of Mountain Shaker Peak, was the only Rank-4 Earth Master in the Eastern Wilderness. Probably due to the fact that he started with a Void Mysterious Stone Mine, he went to the big commercial association for further study in this skill after Core Formation, hoping to discover more valuable mineral veins.


    The Divine Wood Sect established a special agency for Earth Masters too.


    In addition to finding Spirit Stone Mines, they also searched all over the Eastern Wilderness for various rare mineral veins. So when Void Stone Mine was found, Zhou Shengqing immediately sent Ma Gang, the head of the agency, over.


    ¡°What are these things? How much do they cost?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked.


    ¡°These are Earthly Evil Qi and some mineral crystals. I killed an Earth Master on the battlefield and picked up his storage bag. There¡¯s also this set of Earth Master heritage books. If you need it, I can sell it to you at a cheaper price.¡±


    The owner of the stall spoke the truth, leaving Chen Mobai speechless for a moment.


    However, he quickly realized that it was normal for things to be acquired this way. There was no Earth Master who would specifically come to the battlefield to do business.


    It was a pity that the Earth Master who was killed by the stall owner was probably a key training target of Shake Mountain.


    Being able to refine Mysterious Yin Sha and Fire Yang Evil, according to the local standard, he was already a Rank-2 Earth Master. But he died on this battlefield, his skills and savings taken advantage of others.


    ¡°Friend, Fire Yang Evil is a hundred spirit stones, Clear Wind Evil and Peach Blossom Evil are twenty each. If you buy Fire Yang Evil, I¡¯ll give you a piece of mineral for free. You can pick it yourself.¡±


    The stall owner seemed anxious to dispose of these items, and pointed at the various colored ores on the stall during the conversion.


    For Earth Masters, these things were worth studying, but for loose cultivators, they were just ordinary materials for Artifact Refining.


    Placed in other markets, they might only be worth a few spirit stones.


    ¡°Hmm, let me take a look first.¡±


    Chen Mobai picked up the things and opened his Void Spirit Eye to take a casual look. He was somewhat surprised.


    How come the spiritual light contained in these ores is so lush?


    He used his three years of ore recognition skills learned in Dance Tool Dao Academy to identify a few ores on the stall, and he immediately spotted something off about four of them.


    ¡°How much for the Earth Master inheritance?¡±


    After Chen Mobai put down the ores, he picked up the Yellow Skin Gourd containing the Fire Yang Evil. But suddenly, he asked about the three books on the stall.


    ¡°This one, as you know, in the Eastern Wilderness, the value of cultivation techniques and Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal are untold treasures. Moreover, this is a complete inheritance book for a Rank-1 to Rank-2 Earth Master¡­¡±


    ¡°Just name your price. I¡¯m in a hurry to leave.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately interrupted, seemingly ¡°impatient¡±. The stall owner immediately stretched out a finger.


    ¡°One hundred spirit stones?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked in surprise. But the stall owner just smiled and shook his head.


    ¡°One thousand! Why don¡¯t you just rob me? Earth Master is only nurtured by Shake Mountain and I¡¯m just curious and want to expand my skills. If you¡¯re not sincere, forget it. I¡¯ll take these three types of Evil Qi. Give me this ore, that¡¯s it.¡±


    The stall owner was a bit surprised to hear that Chen Mobai wanted to buy so much. Fearing he might lose a big customer, he immediately stood up, indicating that the price could still be negotiated.


    ¡°All these things are bundled together for 140 spirit stones, I don¡¯t want any others.¡±


    Chen Mobai just shook his head forcefully, indicating that he couldn¡¯t afford the Earth Master inheritance.


    ¡°900 spirit stones, if you buy it, I will give you these Evil Qi and ores for free. Consider it funding for your Earth Master inheritance study.¡±


    ¡°200.¡±


    ¡°800, can¡¯t be less.¡±


    ¡°300, that¡¯s all I have on me.¡±


    ¡­n


    After some bargaining, Chen Mobai eventually purchased everything on the stall except for the two magic artifacts for 650 spirit stones.


    After receiving the Spirit Stone, the stall owner, apparently afraid that Chen Mobai would change his mind, immediately packed up his stall and left the Fang Market.


    ¡°Is Junior Brother Chen actually interested in the Earth Master¡¯s inheritance?¡±


    Yue Zutao, who was not far away, witnessed all this and couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly surprised.


    ¡°I just want to learn a bit about the Shake Mountain Peak. Besides, I will need to understand the knowledge of the evil Qi of Earth Sha in the future when I am practicing the Green Flames Sword Sha, so I bought it.¡±


    The two people continued to stroll around the market, and Yue Zutao found a pair of ox horns and bought them. They were made of Rank-2 material. If an outstanding Artifact Refiner were to refine them, it might be possible to create a Rank-2 magic artifact.¡±


    As Chen Mobai activated his Void Spirit Eye, he also discovered some good items, but they were all useless to him.


    However, he was already very satisfied with his harvest today.


    After parting with Yue Zutao, Chen Mobai returned to his room and started to closely examine the things he bought today.


    First, he opened the Yellow Skin Gourd, which contained the Fire Yang Sha, already identified. Strands of dark red Qi were revolving within the gourd, giving off a faintly discernible wave of heat.


    The Primordial Yang Sword Secret in Pure Yang Academy contains a method for condensing the Fire Yang Sha. The resulting ¡°Primordial Yang Sword Sha¡± is powerful and one of the highest-quality Sword Shas in the Immortal Sect.


    However, within the Immortal Sect, even Nangong Xuanyu, the principal of Pure Yang Academy, has managed to condense only nine forms of Primordial Yang Sword Sha.


    Chen Mobai weighed the Fire Yang Sha in the gourd and felt that it should be enough to condense one form of the Primordial Yang Sword Sha.


    He planned to download the Primordial Yang Sword Sha¡¯s condensation method once he returned.


    If it¡¯s simple, he would spend some time condensing one.


    The method of Sword Sha is a genuine Rank-3 technique.


    Therefore, if one can condense Sword Sha at the Foundation Building Realm, only a Gold Core could subdue it, otherwise, no one could.


    Compared to Fire Yang Sha, the Clear Wind Sha and Peach Blossom Sha are just Rank-1 Earth Sha Qi, and their values have greatly decreased.


    However, his Red Misty Cloud Silk can be refined with Clear Wind Sha to upgrade.


    As for the Peach Blossom Sha, could it be refined into Zhuo Ming¡¯s Five Transformations Umbrella and enhance the power of the magic artifact?


    He didn¡¯t know when Ming Yuhua would be back. Among Chen Mobai¡¯s friends, only this good brother was an Artifact Refiner, and he was very skilled, capable of accomplishing this task.


    After inspecting all three kinds of Evil Qi, Chen Mobai took a deep breath.


    Then, he took out those seven pieces of differently colored ores.


    Activating his Void Spirit Eye, he began to examine them closely.


    Three of them turned out to be normal, which he selected and put aside.


    But the other four- the Grey Boulder, Ice Blue Jade, Fiery Copper Mine, and Green Mist Stone, under the view of his Void Spirit Eye had their surface disguises stripped away.


    Chen Mobai saw the rich Spiritual Light deep within.


    They were actually four Evil Qi Crystals!


    If the Earth Sha Qi becomes extremely dense and refined, it will form crystals, this is something that only Rank-3 Earth Masters can do.


    Which Rank-3 Earth Master did that stall owner kill?


    Chen Mobai wondered in his heart. Rank-3 Earth Masters are well-known and most of them are Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Qi Practitioners should not be able to kill them.


    But now is not the time to think about these things. Chen Mobai reached out with his fingers and touched the surface of the five Evil Qi Crystals.


    Once the surface seal of these things is broken, the originally stable Evil Qi will gush out and need to be thoroughly refined and fused in a short period of time.


    He doesn¡¯t need them now, so naturally he won¡¯t break the seal.


    However, he should be able to sense what kind of Evil Qi it is. After all, he had studied it deeply in the Daoist Academy for credits.


    Thousand Rock Sha, Profound Ice Sha, Red Copper Sha, Jade Green Sha.


    After identifying them, Chen Mobai¡¯s face seemed to slightly change.

    The Mysterious Yin Sha and Fire Yang Sha are both Yin and Yang properties.


    And these four types of Evil Qi Crystals, are nearly a complete set of the Five Elements.


    Although it¡¯s very common for Earth Masters to gather Earth Sha Qi and ores, the collection of seven Rank-2 Earth Shas Qi, coincidentally of the Yin Yang and Five Elements is a bit abnormal.


    Who exactly did this stall owner kill?


    Holding onto this question, Chen Mobai started studying the three Earth Master inheritance books.

 Chapter 434 - Chapter 434: Chapter 315: Yield to None_1

    Chapter 434: Chapter 315: Yield to None_1


    After reading the book of Earth Master¡¯s legacy, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but nodded subtly in approval.


    The Shake Mountain lineage, renowned for their body forging and Earth Master techniques in the Eastern Wilderness, indeed held unique merits.


    Although they couldn¡¯t compare to the Immortal Sects, they had, under limited conditions, clarified various terrain veins, speculated on the mysterious origin of natural spiritual objects, and the chi of Earth Sha. They even provided accompanying illustrations, depicting the geographical features and water element veins.


    Unfortunately, these three books of Earth Master¡¯s heritage only encompassed the content from rank-1 to rank-2, with only conjectures regarding the subsequent advancement course.


    Branded with the Dao of the earth onto the Purple Palace, augmented by the mountains and rivers, standing atop the vast earth, I am the nexus of the earth¡¯s veins. My spiritual power is boundless and inexhaustible.


    Doesn¡¯t this feel a bit like refining arrays into the body?


    Upon finishing the book, Chen Mobai thought of the Underworld Array he acquired back in the Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    However, Earth Masters and Array Masters have always had similar professions. There is a saying in the sects that the ultimate goal of an Earth Master is to become an Array Master.


    After reading the three books of Earth Master¡¯s heritage, Chen Mobai found a line of small print in the corner.


    [Disciple Song Xishun pays his respects and thanks to his master.]


    Who is Song Xishun?


    Chen Mobai did not recognize the name.


    However, at least he now had a lead to follow. If given the opportunity in the future, he could investigate this name.


    Finishing the last page, Chen Mobai closed the book.


    ¡°Master, your disciple seeks an audience.¡±


    It was just a coincidence. At that time, Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan arrived with the army of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Upon landing, they naturally came to meet their teacher, Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    Seeing his two disciples, Chen Mobai revealed a smile.


    ¡°Master, you wielded your sword¡¯s might brilliantly, cutting down the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from Shake Mountain Peak. We have heard all about your heroics as the sect¡¯s greatest sword cultivator on our journey here. It stirred our blood.¡±


    Upon entering, Luo Yixuan¡¯s refined little face was filled with admiration and respect. The brightness in her eyes shone with adoration and pride, instilling a sense of vanity in Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Alright, alright, it¡¯s just a mere title. Brother Xie from the Sword Training Department also became a master of Sword Light. He is even attempting to condense Sword Demons. The title of number one sword cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect shouldn¡¯t belong to your master.¡±


    Despite being young, Chen Mobai remained calm, refusing to be blinded by his disciples¡¯ praise, and stayed humble in his speech.


    ¡°Master, this is the letter Uncle E Yun sent to you.¡±


    Liu Wenbo handed a letter to Chen Mobai, who took it and gave a subtle nod after reading it.


    With the war between the Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain, it was natural to consolidate their forces to avoid being ambushed by other hidden enemies. E Yun and other Foundation Establishment cultivators who had initially opened offices in Yun Meng Ze were most likely to be reassigned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    In E Yun¡¯s letter, he briefly mentioned the overall situation within the sect, and subtly said at the end.


    Old Ancestor Fu has also left Yun Meng Ze.


    Whether he has returned to Giant Tree Ridge or joined Elder Zhou to fight Ji Zhenshi, no one knows.


    After reading the letter, Chen Mobai immediately burned it.


    Information about a Core Formation cultivator capable of changing the battlefield dynamics is better known by fewer people.


    ¡°It¡¯s dangerous on the battlefield. Even though you are my disciples, it would be hard for me to take care of both of you during fights. Use these two magic artifacts to protect yourselves. My only requirement is that you keep yourself safe and then find a way to contribute to the sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai took out the Divine Wood Sword from his storage pouch and removed his own Green Scale Arm Guard. These two artifacts were no longer of much use to him.


    Moreover, after revealing the rank-3 magic artifact, the Foundation Establishment cultivators on Shake Mountain were avoiding him. For this reason, in the previous pursuit battle, he only assisted a fellow sect cultivator in killing one opponent.


    ¡°Master, these are too precious.¡±


    Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan were reluctant to accept. After all, both the Divine Wood Sword and the Green Scale Arm Guard were rank-2 magic artifacts.


    ¡°They¡¯ll help protect your lives. Take them for now, and return them to me after the war.¡±


    Although he said that, Chen Mobai had already decided to give the two artifacts to his disciples.


    He gained fame during this war and The Divine Wood Sword was no longer a deceptive trick to his opponents.


    Although Chen Mobai liked the Green Scale Arm Guard, a defensive artifact, to be honest, it was slightly behind his current stage.


    The arm guard was destroyed by Mu Hanxiong during the fight in Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    Furthermore, Chen Mobai possessed the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield, a rank-3 magical artifact. Although it was more offensive, it also provided a defensive Profound Yang Divine Light Shield.


    Chen Mobai also had the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±. From a defense perspective, the Green Scale Arm Guard was indeed of little use to him now.

    ¡°Disciple dreams of becoming a sword cultivator like Master, I¡¯ll take the Divine Wood Sword.¡±


    Luo Yixuan spoke first, choosing the Divine Wood Sword. She was clever and knew that the Green Scale Arm Guard was a gift from Liu Wenbo¡¯s family to Chen Mobai as a teacher¡¯s gift. It made sense for her older disciple brother to take it back.


    Moreover, for the same grade of magic artifact, the defensive ones are pricier than the offensive ones. Liu Wenbo, as the eldest disciple, had to show magnanimity in front of Chen Mobai, their teacher. He would most likely offer the Green Scale Arm Guard to his newly entered junior sister.


    So, Luo Yixuan simply chose the Divine Wood Sword to prevent Liu Wenbo from facing a difficult choice.


    After listening, Chen Mobai immediately nodded at his clever and beautiful little disciple with an approving look.

 Chapter 435 - Chapter 435: Chapter 315: Unyielding Generosity_2

    Chapter 435: Chapter 315: Unyielding Generosity_2


    ¡°The Green Scale Arm Guard was damaged and some of the scales shattered when you clashed with Mu Hanxiong. Wen Bo, you need to exercise some caution when using it. Do you have the method to nurture and practice it?¡±


    ¡°I am in need of your instruction, Master.¡±


    Liu Wenbo truly had no idea how to nurture and practice the Green Scale Arm Guard. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but shake his head at the insular nature of knowledge in the Tianhe Realm.


    It must be remembered that Liu Wenbo is a member of the Liu family.


    ¡°Master, I will take my leave now.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to impart the method of nurturing and practicing, Luo Yixuan, a habitually obedient disciple, began to excuse herself.


    In the Tianhe Realm, when a master imparts teachings to one disciple, other disciples are not allowed to be present. Being present would be considered stealing knowledge.


    ¡°Xuan, stay behind. I need to teach you the method to nurture your Divine Wood Sword.¡±


    Chen Mobai, however, did not hold such reservations.


    Hearing this, Luo Yixuan lifted her little delicate face in surprise, but she was overjoyed and quickly nodded in agreement.


    This indicated that her master truly considered her as one of his own, treating her the same way as Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming.


    The method to nurture and practice the Green Scale Arm Guard was quickly grasped by Liu Wenbo, as their family constructed the magic artifact. Chen Mobai also shared some of his own experiences in using it.


    The Divine Wood Sword was even simpler. After all, it was a standard rank-2 magic artifact of the Divine Wood Sect.


    If the disciples in the artifact refining section want to become Rank-2 Artifact Refiners, the simplest way is to refine a Divine Wood Sword.


    The method is simple, and the raw materials are plentiful.


    However, as the most famous Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai had his own techniques for using the Divine Wood Sword.


    In the course of teaching them the nurturing method, he also gave a lesson to his two disciples.


    After listening, both Luo Yixuan and Liu Wenbo found their enlightenment.


    ¡°Master, are you studying the heritage of the Earth Master?¡±


    After the teaching was finished, upon seeing the Earth Master¡¯s heritage book on the table in front of Chen Mobai, Luo Yixuan couldn¡¯t help but ask out of curiosity.


    ¡°I am somewhat interested. Ming has a decent Earth Spirit Root. If she has time in the future, she can dive deep into it.¡±


    As Chen Mobai said this, noticing his younger disciple¡¯s apparent interest, he gave her the three Earth Master heritage books without further thought.


    ¡°You can take a look first, and give it directly to Ming after going back to Xiao Nanshan. If she is interested, she can use it as a reference for study. If she doesn¡¯t have time, she should cultivate the Mother Earth Cultivation by focusing on farming.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Luo Yixuan immediately took the three Earth Master heritage books into her hands and began flipping through them. Her eyes sparkled with unprecedented joy.


    In the Tianhe Realm, the thirst for knowledge among cultivators even surpasses their desire for magic artifacts.


    Luo Yixuan¡¯s family, the Luo family, is a prominent cultivator household, but only the heritage of the Spirit Beasts Master and the Spirit Plant Master have reached Rank-2, which are the top secret techniques of the family. Only a few elders and core male members of the family are allowed to cultivate it.


    In the eyes of cultivator families, females are meant to be married off and absolutely cannot be taught the family¡¯s core cultivation arts.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, if one wants to obtain a Rank-2 cultivator¡¯s art heritage, they need to first join the twelve divisions, then accumulate contribution to the sect. After passing the relevant tests, an Establishment Foundation cultivator from the upper echelons has to sign for approval before they can access the Book Pavilion.


    Now, Luo Yixuan was able to obtain the Rank-2 Earth Master¡¯s heritage as if she was dreaming.


    She deeply felt that joining Xiao Nanshan was the best decision of her life.


    ¡°By the way, these Earth Master heritage books are spoils of war, and you could help me to check this Song Xishun. Find out if there is such a person in Shake Mountain and his master¡¯s lineage.¡±


    ¡°If there is any task at hand, let the disciples take up the labor. Luo Yixuan took the Earth Master¡¯s heritage book with her, so let her do this small task as well.¡± Naturally, Luo Yixuan nodded quickly.


    Liu Wenbo, who was at one side, also promised to pay attention.


    Chen Mobai then told them that there were many good things in the Fang Market, and the two of them could buy the items they needed according to the situation.


    Once the two disciples left, Chen Mobai also went out to participate in the mobilization meeting which was held after the arrival of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s main force.


    Chu Zuoshu naturally took the lead, seated in the top position. On either side of him were Quan Shanlin from the Penalty Evil Hall, and Xie Yuntian, the head of the sword training division.


    When Chen Mobai entered, he noticed Xie Yuntian assessing him. When he looked back, the latter nodded slightly.


    Xie Yuntian was neither tall nor thin, nor fat nor short. His appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were sharp and his posture upright, conveying an imposing sense of mastery not unlike a deep sea or an imposing peak.


    Before Chen Mobai, he was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect who had formed a Sword Light, making him referred to as the third person of the Divine Wood Sect.


    This third person could either refer to the third Foundation Establishment cultivator behind Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu or the third powerhouse of the Divine Wood Sect after the two old ancestors.


    At a mobilization meeting, Chu Zuoshu outlined the upcoming battle plans.


    That is to break into Rock Country and plunder their Spirit Stone Mines.


    Although Rock Country had scant forest vegetation, it was rich in various mineral resources and spiritual objects.


    In addition to the precious Void Mysterious Stone Mine, there are five Spirit Stone Mines of different sizes.


    Presumably, due to the Earth Veins, there are two mines not far from the border of Rock Country that is close to Lei Nation.


    It was also for this reason that even though Mountain Shaker Peak struck Spirit Stone Mine at Rolling Thunder Mountain and initially coveted it, they did not lose their reason and attacked directly.


    Because a hundred miles away, they were mining another small mine whose scale was ten times greater.


    This Spirit Stone Mine could provide over a million Spirit Stones in revenue for Mountain Shaker Peak each year.


    It was also one of the lifelines of Mountain Shaker Peak, and if it could be captured, then it would be a complete victory for the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Ji Dingjin¡¯s gang has retreated to that miniature Spirit Stone Mine. If we want to attack the small Spirit Stone Mine behind them, we must first clear out these cultivators.¡±


    In the simple house of Rolling Thunder Mountain, Weng Chuanyou, deputy head of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Vein Department, used his magic artifact to display the nearby mountainous terrain, pointing at the spiritual land that Ji Dingjin and other cultivators from Rock Country were defending.


    ¡°Their number of cultivators is not much different from ours. If we force to attack a Rank-3 Large Formation, we can¡¯t do it without a Bead that Breaks Meridians.¡±


    Quan Shanlin analyzed the power of both sides calmly.


    ¡°I remember there¡¯s a Rank-3 Bead that Breaks Meridians in the sect.¡±


    Fu Huakun spoke up, as keeper of the sect¡¯s treasury in Reward Virtue Hall, he was very clear about the sect¡¯s resources.


    ¡°The Bead that Breaks Meridians is precious, and it¡¯s unnecessary to use it here.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu was the one speaking this time, although conquering Mountain Shaker Peak was a great achievement, once the Bead that Breaks Meridians was activated, the Spirit Stone Mine would essentially be abandoned. Even if it were to be conditioned by an Earth Master, it would take decades to recover.


    ¡°If we try to grind it down, it will probably take a few months to break the formation.¡±


    Xie Yuntian frowned and spoken, long-term warfare would be extremely challenging for the sect¡¯s logistics.


    This time he led 1,200 Qi Cultivation disciples, driving fifty airships. Among the airships, fifteen were fully loaded with consumables such as spirit stones, talismans, medicinal pills, and Spirit Rice, but they would only last for up to six months at best.


    If they could conquer the two Spirit Stone Mines, the income would naturally offset the expenses. However, if they were unable to succeed, not only would the sect¡¯s resources be wasted, but many cultivators might also lose their lives.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the sect has made plans for this. Brother Weng is here for this very reason.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu was nonplussed, speaking out the decision that the upper echelons had discussed before the war began.


    ¡°We¡¯ll send a small team deep into Rock Country, where Brother Weng will set up a Small Teleportation Array. Our army will then bypass Ji Dingjin¡¯s defense and go straight for the Spirit Stone Mines.¡±


    When Chu Zuoshu finished speaking, everyone praised the idea.


    ¡°Setting up the Teleportation Array requires a Rank-3 Array Master, a considerable amount of Void Stones, and some time to connect to the Earth Veins. Therefore, Brother Weng is key here. We can¡¯t have many people to guard him, they must be the best.¡±


    When he said this, everyone¡¯s eyes turned to Chen Mobai.


    Among the Divine Wood Sect cultivators present, they were reluctant to admit that the youngest junior brother who had a Rank-3 Magic Artifact and had formed a Sword Light was the most elite Foundation Establishment cultivator in the room.


    ¡°Is Junior Brother Chen willing to do it?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu asked very politely.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai glanced at the sand table of the terrain, guessed that the small Spirit Stone Mine where the Teleportation Array was to be set up was no more than a hundred miles away from Rolling Thunder Mountain, and was within the range of the Short Teleportation Talisman.


    Knowing that his retreat could be guaranteed, he decisively said four words.


    ¡°I found it amenable!¡±


    When everyone heard it, they all admired him.


    They thought, indeed, such is the character of a Sword Cultivator, fearlessly forging ahead.

 Chapter 436 - Chapter 436: Chapter 316 Solemn Declaration_1

    Chapter 436: Chapter 316 Solemn Declaration_1


    Soon, the team¡¯s roster was finalized.


    In addition to Chen Mobai and Weng Chuanyou, there was Liao Shiying from the Penalty Evil Hall, and Xi Yisheng from the sword training department, all of whom were cultivators at the intermediate Foundation Establishment stage.


    Among them, Xi Yisheng was the grandfather of Chen Mobai¡¯s good friend Xi Jinghuo. However, Xi Jinghuo and other friends did not come this time. They were led by another Foundation Establishment cultivator of the school, and went to the border area near Snow Country and Wind Country to avoid being attacked from behind by Liu Jia Mountain and Snow-blowing Palace.


    After they had bid farewell to the three team members, they went back to prepare. They agreed to enter Rock Country by a roundabout route when Chu Zuoshu led the Divine Wood Sect army to attack Ji Dingjin the next day.


    After all, Foundation Establishment cultivators could fly. As long as they were willing to spend time, a small group could easily infiltrate in.


    ¡­


    In the small western-style building of the student council, Hua Zijing was leading Zhuang Jialan to process various documents. Compared with the former¡¯s smooth actions, the latter was in a mess, but this was due to a lack of experience. Mistakes would naturally correct themselves over time.


    Ding Ding Ding!


    Just then, the telephone on the table began to ring. The type they used between their offices was still the old-fashioned landline.


    Hua Zijing picked it up and heard Chen Mobai¡¯s voice, her face full of surprise.


    ¡°What a rare visitor, I haven¡¯t seen you for two or three months.¡±


    Three minutes later, she went upstairs and knocked on the door of the president¡¯s office. Seeing Chen Mobai sitting in the boss¡¯s chair, stroking a white cat with squinting eyes and an unwilling face, she made a tsking noise.


    ¡°Here I am. By the way, can you contact senior Jing Zuyin? I want to buy an unused Short Teleportation Talisman.¡±


    ¡°Okay, is this why you¡¯re here?¡±


    Hua Zijing nodded, raising her brows slightly with a hint of dissatisfaction. Her displeased tone as she crossed her arms over her chest emphasized her curves, causing Chen Mobai to feel a little awkward as he looked at her leaning against the door.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand the meaning behind Hua Zijing¡¯s expressions, and lowered his head to continue stroking the cat, asking directly.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t the director tell you? At the end of the year, you are going to lead a team to the Jumang Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡°What for¡­ Ah, it should not be for the exchange meetings managed by the Daoist Academy, we already have the Little Red Sky, why waste manpower and materials to go offline!¡±


    Chen Mobai replied halfway before he realized, somewhat puzzled.


    ¡°Humph, isn¡¯t it because you are so domineering in the Little Red Sky. But those in the late Foundation Establishment stage couldn¡¯t catch up with you. Because some people hate you too much, they want to suppress our Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s score in the Little Red Sky. Under the promotion of Pure Yang Academy, the majority agreed to hold this offline exchange meeting.¡±


    When Hua Zijing mentioned this, her face was full of resentment. She felt disdain for the other Daoist Academy¡¯s way of dealing directly with physical confrontations offline since they could not win in Little Red Sky.


    ¡°In the Daoist Academy exchange, people like Xiahou Weihuan and Sima Xingyu who have graduated long ago shouldn¡¯t be able to participate, right?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s face was also somewhat shocked, and he immediately inquired about his two biggest enemies within the sect.


    He could rule the realms of the early and mid-Foundation Establishment, but he didn¡¯t have any confidence when it came to dealing with these two former chiefs of Pure Yang Academy, who had also cultivated the Divinity Transformation Method.


    Offline exchanges are unlike those in Little Red Sky. When Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t have the advantage in the magic artifact and cultivation realm, even if he confronts the chiefs of the other three Daoist Academies, it would be a tough fight.


    ¡°According to past rules, they cannot participate. However, they hate you so much that they will definitely find ways to get in. Only by defeating you can they achieve an inner perfection and reach a higher realm.¡±


    Hua Zijing shrugged, and her fluctuating curves made Chen Mobai, who had just raised his head, lowered it again to stroke the cat.


    ¡°However, since you brought so much glory to our Daoist Academy in Little Red Sky, even if you fail in the offline exchange, the teachers and students of our Daoist Academy will understand.¡±


    Upon hearing Hua Zijing¡¯s seemingly comforting words, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes showed a bit of unwillingness.


    Although he had little chance of winning against the chiefs of the other three Daoist Academies,


    But they have not fought yet, and you all take it for granted that I will lose. This made Chen Mobai, who had not tasted defeat in the same realm since his debut, extremely unconvinced.


    Who knows, at the end of the year, the president here will use the perfect Foundation Establishment cultivation level to suppress all the chiefs of the Daoist Academies and make them unable to lift their heads.


    ¡°By the way, I heard that you have a girlfriend in Jumang Daoist Academy. If you lose in front of her, you might feel a bit embarrassed. Do you want to think of a way to get her out of there in advance?¡±


    At this point, Hua Zijing said something that made Chen Mobai confused.


    ¡°What do you mean by ¡®a girlfriend¡¯? It¡¯s as if I have many! Are you talking about Qing Nu? She and I are just friends.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Of course, Chen Mobai is aware of the false rumors circulating online that he¡¯s an irresponsible man. He never expected that even Hua Zijing, who is usually calm and wise, would be affected by these rumors. He felt it necessary to clarify things.


    ¡°I wish to formally announce that I am single, devoted to cultivating my Pure Yang body, and am a pure and sincere sword cultivator dedicated to Sword Dao. Until I have achieved success in Dao, I will definitely not be distracted by love.¡±


    After finishing these words, Hua Zijing made a face, indicating that she understood.


    But from her expression, Chen Mobai knew that she definitely didn¡¯t believe him.


    In that moment, his heart was icy cold. There was nothing he could say to change her mind, leaving Chen Mobai feeling disappointed and continuing to stroke the cat.

 Chapter 437 - Chapter 437: Chapter 316 Solemn Declaration_2

    Chapter 437: Chapter 316 Solemn Declaration_2


    Luckily, Jing Zuyin arrived at that moment.


    Chen Mobai offered him two hundred and fifty thousand Good Deed Points, which was the market value of the Short Teleportation Talisman, but Jing Zuyin didn¡¯t accept them. Instead, he wanted to exchange them for an equal value of Rank-2 talisman paper and ink.


    Jing Zuyin had heard that Chen Mobai owned a talisman factory where the quality of the talisman paper and ink was quite good. As he was a dedicated monk who concentrated on cultivation in the Treasure Trove, he had not been willing to go out since he created a Rank-2 top-grade inkstone at the end of last year.


    However, the talisman paper and ink were consumables that needed to be replenished, so he planned to seize this opportunity to stock up in one go.


    As for this, Chen Mobai naturally agreed.


    He pulled out from the drawer, which in fact meant taking out the talisman paper and ink from his storage bag, and even gave some extra to Jing Zuyin.


    With the guests now pleased, Hua Zijing, who acted as the intermediary, also displayed a smile.


    Having obtained the Short Teleportation Talisman, Chen Mobai, taking advantage of her not having reacted yet, quickly made his escape.


    When Hua Zijing came to the third floor again with Zhuang Jialan, who held a stack of documents, intending to have Chen Mobai sign them, she found the president¡¯s office was empty. She was so mad that she broke the pen in her hand.


    Because of this, Chen Mobai felt a bit sorry for Hua Zijing.


    However, given that he was currently on a battlefield and the situation there was even more urgent than at the Daoist Academy, he had no other choice.


    When he returned, Chen Mobai was about to set the Short Teleportation Talisman at the Rolling Thunder Mountain, but then he thought that if it really needed to be used, his sudden appearance without an explanation for Chu Zuoshu and others would not do.


    He did not want to reveal any traces of the Immortal Gate.


    After considering all that, Chen Mobai went down the mountain and set the teleportation point of the Short Teleportation Talisman in a deserted hill a few kilometers away from the Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    For concealment, he used his flying sword to create a cave dwelling inside the deserted hill, where the teleportation point was set.


    The next day.


    As he watched the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Qi Practitioners stepping onto the massive airships floating mid-air, Chen Mobai waved to his two disciples beside him, gesturing for them to follow.


    ¡°Disciple will certainly not disgrace Master.¡±


    Both disciples had resolute expressions as they prepared to leave, but Chen Mobai once again instructed them to prioritize their safety.


    Seeing the overwhelming Qi army of the Divine Wood Sect and the spectacular fleet of airships floating mid-air, the Loose Cultivators of Lei Nation, who were originally planning to sell their spoils of war and then leave, were enticed by this sight. Gritting their teeth, they surprisingly also stepped onto the ships.


    Chu Zuoshu was pleased to see this. However, in order to prevent the Loose Cultivators from causing chaos and disrupting order, he had Lian Chenghai and two others lead the Lei Nation cultivator army onto two airships that were empty after transporting materials.


    ¡°Let¡¯s set off too.¡±


    As the thirty-eight airships disappeared from their sight, Weng Chuanyou turned to Chen Mobai and the others next to him and said.


    Of course, Weng Chuanyou, the Deputy Head of the Spirit Vein Department and a Rank-3 Array Master, was leading the group.


    Whether in terms of identity, qualifications, or cultivation level, Weng Chuanyou was the undisputed leader.


    He pulled out a leaf, which, in the wind, transformed into a small flying artifact.


    After the four of them got on, they concealed their figures and flew towards the Rock Country.


    On the frontline battlefield.


    Standing within the Rank-3 Large Formation, Ji Dingjin looked through the protective shield at Chu Zuoshu in the air outside. When their gazes met, sparks seemed to burst in the void.


    In an instant, thousands of spells, working in tandem with the Battle Array, came pouring down.


    Dozens of thick and clear light columns, like divine swords reaching the sky, erupted from the airships, engulfing the spiritual energy in the sky. It was as if Immortals were waving their swords, aiming their attacks at the earthen-yellow cloud layer shield that enveloped the entire Rank-3 Spiritual Land.


    The thirty-six airships could perfectly demonstrate the power of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, which the Divine Wood Sect was particularly proficient in.


    The attack of the ¡°Everlasting Life Sutra¡± was general, but the ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡± was an exception.


    After a round of twelve Sacred Tree Divine Lights, a breach was opened in the Rank-3 Yellow Earth Sand Dance Formation.


    However, Chu Zuoshu did not rush to send people to attack. Instead, he signalled to the other twelve airships to absorb more Spirit Stones and once again solidify the Sacred Tree Divine Light. It seemed that he planned to completely break this Large Formation before facing the nearly one thousand Rock Country cultivators below head-on.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Seeing the Sacred Tree Divine Light slashing from the sky, triggering earth-shaking tremors, Ji Dingjin felt a tightening in his heart.


    He had an ominous premonition.


    However, he thought it was because the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army before him might cause their elite cultivators from the Rock Country to lose most of their strength once the formation was broken.


    Ji Dingjin was prepared, even ready to stake his own life, in order to inflict heavy losses on the Divine Wood Sect.


    Even if he couldn¡¯t drag Chu Zuoshu to death, he would still pull some Foundation Establishment seeds that had the potential to reach the Core Formation stage.


    The primary target was the young cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage who had mastered the sword light.


    Thinking about Chen Mobai, Ji Dingjin looked up to the sky. Each of the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect controlled a flying ship rigged with the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation, so they stood tall above the flying ship, clearly visible.


    But, he couldn¡¯t find Chen Mobai among them.


    Could it be that the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect had increased and he was resting?


    Ji Dingjin thought so, but it didn¡¯t feel right.


    But before he had time to think carefully, the twelve beams of the third round of Heavenly Wood Divine Light had already fallen.


    Amid the booming rumble, the Rank-3 upper-grade large formation, known for its defense, was breached in seven or eight places, and even hundreds of Qi Practitioners within the formation couldn¡¯t avoid it and were directly vaporized.


    ¡°Hurry up, Earth Masters and Array Masters come and replace the ones who are exhausted.¡±


    Ji Dingjin listened to the loud call from a junior brother controlling the array plate by his side. He slowly closed his eyes, and after inhaling deeply, he who had already put on full body armor, flew out of the formation first.


    Together with the other six Peak Masters who had come to support from Shake Mountain Peak yesterday and a few Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Sky Country, a total of twenty-eight Foundation Establishment cultivators flew up like rocks pulled out of the ground towards the thirty-eight flying ships of the Divine Wood Sect in the sky.


    ¡°The time to establish merit is now.¡±


    Mid-air, Chu Zuoshu saw this scene, and said coldly. He then adjusted his jade crown, and two tree seeds evolved and went to meet Ji Dingjin who was in the front.


    Next to him, Xie Yuntian unsheathed his sword without saying a word. The sharp edge shot towards the sky, shattering the clouds and clearing the sky, his momentum was even more terrifying than Chu Zuoshu.


    The remaining members of the Quan Shanlin, Fu Huakun and other four Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect late stage, also each found their own opponents.


    The two sect¡¯s large armies, without the protection of formations, began the most direct war.


    As for this, Chen Mobai naturally didn¡¯t know.


    They had already taken a detour into the territory of Rock Country and were twenty miles away from the target Spirit Stone Mine. Weng Chuanyou found an uninhabited Rank-1 Spirit Vein and began setting up a teleportation array.


    ¡°If there was a Rank-2 Spirit Vein, it would be even better, but given our limited conditions, we can only use more spirit stones.¡±


    While Weng Chuanyou was talking, he directed Chen Mobai and the other two to bury twelve fist-sized Void Stones in corresponding positions.


    He, on the other hand, solemnly held a circular array plate with a hollow center and placed it in the centermost position. He then took out several Array Flags and planted them into various parts of the Spirit Vein.


    Huge amounts of spiritual energy like white mist rose from the ground and resonated with the Void Stones placed by Chen Mobai and the others. In an instant, a circular outline was formed on the ground. Immediately afterward, intricate and complex Dao runes generated from the inner edge of the outline, stretching like spirit snakes towards Weng Chuanyou at the center.


    This process lasted three days and three nights.


    Chen Mobai saw Weng Chuanyou use more than a hundred intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, and even used a translucent Spirit Stone that was glowing with colorful light when he finished, placing it in the center of the array plate.


    This was a top-grade Spirit Stone.


    The cost of setting up this small teleportation array was twenty thousand in spirit stones alone.


    No wonder only the seven major sects of Eastern Wilderness have the ability to set it up.


    If the Divine Wood Sect hadn¡¯t happened to discover a Void Mysterious Stone Mine, they probably wouldn¡¯t have made this plan.


    After all, these twelve Void Stones were worth thirty to forty thousand Spirit Stones, and they were priceless.


    But precisely because of this, Shake Mountain Peak didn¡¯t consider the possibility that the Divine Wood Sect would set up a teleportation array within the borders of Rock Country.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s test it first.¡±


    Weng Chuanyou wiped the sweat from his forehead, then activated the teleportation array and tossed in a prepared rabbit.


    Two breaths later, a disciple who was left on Rolling Thunder Mountain brought the rabbit to them through the teleportation array in a flash of spiritual light.


    ¡°It succeeded.¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai let out a sigh of relief and a slight relaxation.

 Chapter 438 - Chapter 438: Chapter 317: Three Gold Cores_1

    Chapter 438: Chapter 317: Three Gold Cores_1


    Initially, they assumed that setting up the Teleportation Array would be a dangerous task, but they finished effortlessly.


    However, Chen Mobai and his team couldn¡¯t leave right away.


    They had to stay here until the troops from the Divine Wood Sect were transferred over.


    Since it was a small Teleportation Array, it could only transport ten people at a time.


    Moreover, most of the forces guarding the Spirit Stone Mine were sent to the frontlines, thus it wasn¡¯t necessary for all of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s troops to be transferred at once.


    Weng Chuanyou secretly implemented some secret technique or magic artifact, confirming that there were only two Foundation Establishment cultivators and thirty Qi Practitioners managing this large formation.


    Using his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai found that although he could barely penetrate through the defensive large formation outside the Spirit Stone Mine, he was unable to perceive the actual situation inside.


    It can be said that the Divine Wood Sect, being recognized as a Major Sect of the Eastern Wilderness, indeed has profound resources.


    What followed was quite simple.


    Chu Zuoshu led the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army and surrounded Ji Dingjin¡¯s force for seven days, handling them from close combat at the start to a siege later.


    Ji Dingjin thought that his hardline strategy had inflicted pain to the Divine Wood Sect, but in reality, he was just unable to recognize the withdrawal of four Foundation Establishment cultivators and a hundred elite Qi Practitioners from the frontlines.


    After Chen Mobai and his team joined forces with the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s troops coming from the Teleportation Array, they directly led by Weng Chuanyou, a Rank-3 Array Master, and swiftly cracked the defense of the small Spirit Stone Mine.


    Despite the fierce resistance from the cultivators of Mountain Shaker Peak, they were outnumbered and even with the support of the large formation, they were still quickly defeated by the Sacred Tree Divine Light in half a day.


    Once the formation was broken, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators from Mountain Shaker Peak ordered all the cultivators to scatter, each carrying a storage bag and flee.


    To prevent the raw Spirit Stones in the mine from being carried away, Chen Mobai and the others had to divide their forces to pursue everyone.


    Luckily they had foreseen this, and the number of people they had teleported over was sufficient.


    However, not everything went exactly as planned; two Qi Practitioners from Mountain Shaker Peak erupted with great power and managed to escape under the assault of six to seven people from the Divine Wood Sect.


    According to feedback from the surviving Divine Wood Sect monks, these two Mountain Shaker Peak cultivators had attained the first level of Nine Ranges Law Body, and their physical strength surpassed theirs.


    But these unexpected incidents did not hinder the overall victory of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s strategy.


    Chen Mobai and seven other Foundation Establishment cultivators personally exterminated the two fleeing Foundation Establishment cultivators from Mountain Shaker Peak, yielding a haul of raw Spirit Stones worth over two hundred thousand within their storage bags.


    This was the monthly yield of the Spirit Stone Mine, and besides them, by adding up the Spirit Stones present in all the Qi Practitioner disciples¡¯ storage bags, they made an additional gain of fifty to sixty thousand Spirit Stones.


    From this raid, they brought back a total of nearly three hundred thousand Spirit Stones.


    ¡°Such is the nature of small Spirit Stone Mines. After a little processing, the raw ores will become intermediate grade Spirit Stones,¡± Weng Chuanyou declared with a smile, holding a piece of the raw ore.


    The Spirit Stone Mines in the Tianhe Realm are classified into micro, small, medium, and large.


    The Rolling Thunder Mountain is a miniature Spirit Stone Mine and only produces lower-grade Spirit Stones, with a total yield of several million Spirit Stones.


    The small mines¡¯ core ore veins can actually produce intermediate grade Spirit Stone raw ores, producing over a million Spirit Stones annually, with a total yield of several tens of millions.


    A medium mine is even more impressive, with upper-grade Spirit Stones in the core ore veins, and only four have been discovered all over the Eastern Wilderness.


    Two belong to the Five Elements Sect, one belongs to the Snow-blowing Palace, and one to the Divine Wood Sect.


    Of these, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s mine was taken from the Five Element Sects¡¯ hands with help from Golden Cliff during a split in the clan.


    Thus, half of the annual yield of Spirit Stones needs to be afforded to Golden Cliff.


    Although the Mountain Shaker Peak does not have a medium mine, it has two small mines and three micro Spirit Stone Mines.


    The Divine Wood Sect¡¯s occupation now almost cut off half the source of the Spirit Stone for Mountain Shaker Peak.


    So when Ji Dingjin heard the news brought back by the two escapees, his eyes turned red.


    He immediately led all his surviving cultivators, ready to abandon the micro Spirit Stone Mine and recapture the small mine occupied by Chen Mobai¡¯s team.


    But Chu Zuoshu, who had already predicted this, immediately led his army to intercept.


    Although Ji Dingjin was furious, he had not lost his sanity. After failed attempts to break through, he had to retreat back to the micro Spirit Stone Mine under the circumstances.


    He was at his wits¡¯ end.


    His only hope now was the old ancestor of their sect.


    Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s sect is located in a valley between two plateaus.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Apparently, the old ancestor of the sect had split the valley by shaking the mountains with a single fist, and hence the sect was named after this legend.


    In the plateau on the left of Mountain Shaker Peak, a towering Golden Sun Spirit Tree stood erect with cloud-like branches and leaves, reaching into the clouds and covering most of the valley.


    This was the area unveiled by the Immortality Sutra of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Old Ancestor, Zhou Saintly Pure.


    On the top of the plateau on the right, a thick black long spear stood on the mountain peak, and a young man in a golden robe stared coldly at Zhou Saintly Pure with his hands behind his back.


    This person was naturally the Core Formation real person of Shake Mountain, Ji Zhenshi.

 Chapter 439 - Chapter 439: Chapter 317: Three Gold Cores_2

    Chapter 439: Chapter 317: Three Gold Cores_2


    A month ago, Zhou Shengqing came to blockade the gate.


    Ji Zhenshi naturally couldn¡¯t bear this and directly suited up for combat, clashing with Zhou Shengqing.


    However, there was no choice, the Immortality Sutra was too taxing. Coupled with Zhou Shengqing being slightly higher in cultivation level, although Ji Zhenshi was able to resist by relying on his strong physical body and defensive Legal Treasures, he was still blocked inside the sect for a whole month.


    Other Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation disciples from the Shake Mountain Peak were allowed to come and go as they pleased by Zhou Shengqing, but not Ji Zhenshi.


    Yet even if Ji Zhenshi could leave, under the circumstances of Zhou Shengqing blocking the main gate, he wouldn¡¯t dare to take a single step away from Shake Mountain Peak.


    Thus, the two began a stalemate.


    The state of the border warfare was constantly reported to Ji Zhenshi. At first, this elderly ancestor of Shake Mountain Peak was able to accept it.


    After all, he had lived for hundreds of years and had seen many separations of life and death. The nine peaks¡¯ masters had all changed three or four times over.


    But today, when Ji Zhenshi learned that his small Spirit Stone Mine was occupied by the Divine Wood Sect, he could no longer bear it.


    ¡°Zhou Shengqing, do you want to go to full-scale war with my Shake Mountain Peak?¡±


    Ji Zhenshi gripped the black long spear at his side, an awesome aura of blood burst forth, causing the void to twist. The two mountains beside Shake Mountain Peak started to tremble, as if an earthquake was about to occur.


    ¡°The first to act was your Shake Mountain Peak.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing remained calm and casually waved his sleeve. The golden light from the Sun Spirit Tree at his side blossomed, instantly suppressing the trembling mountain ridges beneath his feet.


    ¡°Can¡¯t you see through such ham-fisted tactics?¡±


    In the past, Ji Zhenshi had been able to consolidate the power of the whole Shake Mountain Peak by himself and develop it into one of the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, using many dark and complicated strategies.


    The current conflict between Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain Peak was clearly stirred up by someone. He couldn¡¯t believe Zhou Shengqing couldn¡¯t see it.


    Usually, such matters would be settled by some verbal sparring, followed by letting it go to save face.


    If it comes to a large-scale war between the two sects, it could drag the entire Eastern Wilderness into the chaos, causing death and suffering for hundreds of years.


    ¡°Of course, I saw it. But last year, you killed our sect¡¯s Administrative Elder sent to the Eastern Yi Territory, and took Void Mysterious Stone worth nearly a million Spirit Stones, which went a bit too far.¡±


    When Zhou Shengqing said this, Ji Zhenshi¡¯s pupils harshly shrunk. He stared wide-eyed, disbelievingly at the young man with the demeanor of an ageless youth on the other side.


    ¡°Were they your people?¡±


    ¡°Heh, don¡¯t you know they were mine?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing sneered in response. Last year, in order to assist Zhou Wangshen in his Immortal Cultivation of Taoist Body, he had sent a disciple of his to the Eastern Yi Territory to exchange some newly mined Void Stones for another type of Gold Core Spiritual Material.


    Who would have expected that just after completing the transaction with a large pharmacy, and barely stepping out of the city, Ji Zhenshi would slaughter them.


    Unfortunately, the location where the Administrative Elder exchanged the Gold Core Spiritual Material was the headquarters of Xuan Xiao Chamber of Commerce, where Ji Zhenshi had some influence.


    This is the cultivation world of Tianhe Realm. Even a large sect like Divine Wood Sect could accidentally fall prey to local bullies or crossing over fierce dragons.


    For Zhou Shengqing, the loss of Spirit Stones was a small matter, but delaying Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation and revealing the Void Mysterious Stone Mine was a big deal.


    ¡°The Divine Wood Sect found the Void Mysterious Stone Mine, yet you did not share it with Golden Cliff. It¡¯s only natural us to become greedy for a slice of the pie.¡±


    After Zhou Shengqing revealed the underlying cause, Ji Zhenshi¡¯s face calmed down. He drew the black long spear in front of him. The overwhelming sea of qi within his body suddenly burst through its limit, materializing into a river of blood qi, dyeing half of the sky.


    ¡°Oh, have you broken through to the late stage of Core Formation?¡±


    This was somewhat unexpected to Zhou Shengqing, causing him to frown slightly.


    ¡°Heh, there¡¯s much more you haven¡¯t expected.¡±


    A cold laugh echoed in the void, and a faceless man in a black robe with a white cloth covering his face appeared next to Ji Zhenshi.


    ¡°Nan Shidao!¡±


    Seeing this Core Formation elder from Liu Jia Mountain, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s brows furrowed more deeply. He unexpectedly and unhesitatingly joined forces with Shake Mountain Peak.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Fu Zongjue, that old decayed wood smell can be detected from a long distance, aren¡¯t you hiding and waiting for me?¡±


    The lips behind the white cloth of Nan Shidao trembled, and he mockingly derided.


    ¡°This might disappoint you. My junior brother Fu is still over at Wind Rain Shelter suppressing the demonic beasts and hasn¡¯t come here.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing was facing two alone, but his expression remained unchanged, still calm and confident.


    ¡°If he hadn¡¯t come, you would probably have died at our hands today,¡± said the Southern Teacher, and with a gesture, a blade without a handle shot from his palm. The blade shimmered faintly blue, and as it appeared, the surrounding air suddenly chilled several degrees.


    ¡°I¡¯m quite confident in my own defensive abilities. I doubt you alone could kill me.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing spoke with an indifferent look on his face.


    ¡°Oh, it seems like you are too conceited and have not directly faced his Void Law Body power in the late Gold Core stage.¡±


    The Southern Teacher, who seemed to have had some experience, peered at Ji Zhenshi next to him, a tremor of unease appearing in his eyes.


    It was precisely because he had experienced his power, in addition to the presence of that person, that the Southern teacher had decided to ally with the Shake Mountain Peak against the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°I guess today¡¯s as good a day as any to learn about it.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing spoke with a calm demeanor, flicking his fingers and sprouting two more tree seeds.


    Three towering Golden Sun Spirit Trees encased him in the middle, at the same time suppressing the part of the terrain below the Mountain Shaker Peak, causing the originally targeted Mountain Protection Array to operate slowly.


    ¡°Ever since I reached the late Gold Core stage, I haven¡¯t encountered an opponent who could stop me head-on.¡±


    Ji Zhenshi slowly opened his mouth. The black long spear in his hand pointed towards Zhou Shengqing.


    The void seemed to open a vortex that sucked in the tip of his spear.


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s facial expression changed slightly. He tilted his head, and saw the black spearhead appearing out of nowhere in front of him, leaving a streak of blood on his fair cheek.


    ¡°Void Law Body, truly the number one Body Forging technique in Eastern Wilderness,¡± said the Southern Teacher, recalling how he was defeated by this technique.


    ¡°Interesting.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing on the other side, however, gently touched the wound on his cheek, a green light flashed and the wound had already healed.


    Then a beam of Sacred Tree Divine Light burst from his fingertips, half of it in the air, blasting towards the Southern Teacher and Ji Zhenshi.


    Ji Zhenshi, without moving his feet or swaying his body, shook his spear and deflected the Sacred Tree Divine Light into the sky, as if he had propelled a beautiful, green meteor into the sky.


    The Southern Teacher extended his left hand, and its five fingers ingeniously reassembled into a shield, blocking the Sacred Tree Divine Light. Yet under the impact, he involuntarily retreated a dozen meters before managing to dissipate Zhou Shengqing¡¯s attack.


    ¡°I¡¯ll assist you. We need to finish him off quickly. If Fu Zongjue and Mo Douguang come over, it would be troublesome,¡± the Southern Teacher said, subtly pressuring Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°He¡¯s right, we might not be able to kill him,¡± Ji Zhenshi suddenly said.


    ¡°I believe your Void Law Body will be able to do it,¡± the Southern Teacher expressed confidence in Ji Zhenshi.


    ¡°If I go all out, it may not coincide well with your efforts,¡± said Ji Zhenshi, Zhou Shengqing did not object, seemingly waiting for his opponents to finish their discussion.


    The Southern Teacher asked, ¡°Then you mean to say¡­¡±


    Ji Zhenshi said, ¡°Since my true cultivation level has already been exposed, I naturally have to have a good fight with him. Since you came, please go to the trouble of clearing all the monks from the Divine Wood Sect in the Rock Country for me.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At this point, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s facial expression finally changed.


    However, the Southern Teacher burst into laughter, rose into the sky and headed towards the border between Rock Country and Lei Nation.


    ¡°Stop!¡± Zhou Shengqing was about to fly up to hinder the Southern Teacher¡¯s departure, but he was stopped by the sudden appearance of the spearhead in front of him.


    ¡°I want you to feel the same pain I felt days ago, hearing about the death of the disciples of my sect and being powerless to do anything.¡±


    Ji Zhenshi looked at Zhou Shengqing and said, word by word.

 Chapter 440 - Chapter 440: Chapter 318 Fu Zongjue_1

    Chapter 440: Chapter 318 Fu Zongjue_1


    After taking over the Spirit Stone Mine, the Divine Wood Sect wouldn¡¯t simply pillage and leave.


    Under Weng Chuanyou¡¯s command, the Qi practitioners that they had transported via the Teleportation Array, began mining the stones, one after the other.


    Although none of them were professionals, under the lure of the Spirit Stones, everyone was using their magic artifacts to dig, sparing no effort.


    With a hundred Qi practitioners and the assistance of eight cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm, they could mine raw ores worth seven to eight thousand spirit stones a day from this mine.


    During this time, Ji Dingjin led his team in two field charges but was repelled back by Chu Zuoshu, who relied on superior manpower and meticulous battle arrays.


    Inside the mine tunnel, Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± scattered from his wrist.


    Under his Psychic control, the mist transformed into strands of Sword Qi, it smoothly cut the surrounding stone walls into large squares like slicing tofu.


    With his divine sense scanning over, which stones contained spirit stones and which were ordinary stones were clearly imprinted into his mind.


    As the misty cloud turned into a whirlwind-like dragon and swept up the cut-off stones, under Chen Mobai¡¯s meticulous operation, all the ordinary stones were quickly crushed into rubble, revealing only irregularly shaped spirit stones of varying sizes among the debris on the ground.


    Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction, beckoned with his hand, and the dozen or so spirit stones on the ground flew into the storage bag tied around his waist.


    Compared to the others, his mining efficiency was quite high.


    Even so, not even cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm were give up rest and continuously practice their psychic control round-the-clock.


    Not to mention the Qi practitioners.


    Hence, the usual practice of mining a Spirit Stone Mine is to use mortal miners to slowly excavate the entire vein. Mortals lack the strength to damage the spirit stones which, although slow, ensures that nothing is wasted.


    While cultivators mine more efficiently, their limited psychic control might damage the integrity of the spirit stones during violent excavations.


    But given that Chen Mobai¡¯s team were not in their own spirit stone mine and feared a counterattack from the cultivator army of Rock and Sky Countries marshalled by Mountain Shaker Peak, they made full use of this time to mine as much as they could, ignoring any wastage or damages.


    On the other hand, Chen Mobai, whose psychic control far exceeded that of a cultivator at the early foundation stage, and who had the Void Spirit Eye that could see Spiritual Light, did not have this worry.


    In the ten days he spent in this Spirit Stone Mine, he had mined raw ore worth nearly four to five thousand Spirit Stones.


    The other cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm had also gained two to three thousand Spirit Stones.


    Weng Chuanyou stipulated that each cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm had to submit two hundred Spirit stones to the sect daily, but he turned a blind eye to the rest of their earnings, letting them store it in their own storage bags.


    For this reason, every cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect was happily mining away.


    However, these good times would inevitably come to an end.


    One day, while Chen Mobai and the others were mining, an oppressive, terrifying aura suddenly descended from the sky. Accompanied by a cold snort, the entire mine began to vibrate and shake.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t good, it¡¯s a Golden Core Cultivator!¡±


    Chen Mobai had confronted such an entity before in Red Sandstone City, when he sensed this being¡¯s aura, his face immediately turned pale.


    But just as he was going to flee using the short-range teleportation talisman, the terrifying aura suddenly moved away, seemingly occupied with other important matters.


    After thinking for a moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s face turned pale again.


    The Golden Core Cultivator just now was openly hostile to them and being at his realm, he probably would need less than a day to annihilate them all.


    Despite this, he still gave up on the Spirit Stone Mine. The only explanation was that there was a more worthwhile target for him to pursue.


    Compared to their small group, the only thing that could be of main concern to a Golden Core Cultivator was the Divine Wood Sect army led by Chu Zuoshu.


    ¡°This is bad!¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately rushed out of the underground tunnel, not alone, but with the other seven foundation establishment cultivators who had also sensed the aura of the Golden Core cultivator earlier.


    Weng Chuanyou, with a gloomy face, announced some bad news.


    The teleportation array was destroyed.


    The choice of the Golden Core cultivator sure was swift, accurate, and ruthless.


    If he could seriously damage or even kill a few key cultivators at the foundation establishment realm in his own army, he would be able to disband and annihilate them completely.


    He hadn¡¯t spared their small group, having infiltrated the Rock Country either.


    After cutting off the teleportation array, there would be time to surround and kill them, once the Divine Wood Sect army besieging Ji Dingjin was defeated.


    ¡°Can it be repaired?¡±


    ¡°No, the Golden Core cultivator has cut off the earth vein. However, I had taken two sets of small Teleportation Array materials from the sect as a precaution, which we can use to set up another one.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The first half of Weng Chuanyou¡¯s words caused everyone to look serious, but fortunately, there were good news following it, else they might have already been thinking about how to escape.


    ¡°Setting up the teleportation array takes three days. If the Golden Core Cultivator takes action, Hall Master Chu there might not be able to hold out for even a day.¡±


    Xi Yisheng said with a worried look on his face.


    ¡°Previously, due to the low Spirit Vein Level, it would take three days as we needed to infuse Spirit Stones to enhance the Spirit Vein. But this time, if we do it here, it will take only two days.¡±


    Weng Chuanyou brought another piece of good news and everyone¡¯s expressions eased slightly.

 Chapter 441 - Chapter 441: Chapter 318 Fu Zongjue_2

    Chapter 441: Chapter 318 Fu Zongjue_2


    ¡°There is a safer alternative. We can find another deserted Spirit Vein nearby and set up a Teleportation Array. Even if the front lines are breached, it will take time for the people of Shake Mountain to find us. I believe three days would be enough for us to re-establish the Teleportation Array and return to Rolling Thunder Mountain.¡±


    Liao Shiying from the Penalty Evil Hall suddenly put forth a suggestion.


    Upon hearing this, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators present became thoughtful. Indeed, compared to staying in this Spirit Stone Mine, which will undoubtedly become a focal point of dispute after the war, finding another Spirit Vein seems a better option.


    ¡°But what about the disciples of our sect who are Qi Practitioners?¡±


    Weng Chuanyou worriedly asked. It¡¯s easy for the eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators to hide, but if they leave, the hundred Qi Practitioners in the Spirit Stone Mine will surely be unable to stand their ground.


    ¡°If we encounter a Golden Core Cultivator, we wouldn¡¯t be able to resist even if we were all present. However, if we only face the army from Shake Mountain, we should be able to hold out for three days with the help of our formations.¡±


    Another Foundation Establishment Cultivator named Yue Tianheng calmly analyzed the two scenarios. Afterwards, everyone turned their eyes towards Weng Chuanyou who, in name, was the leader of this troop.


    It was up to him to make a decision.


    ¡°If we abandon this Spirit Stone Mine and slip away silently, the eight of us can mostly ensure our safe return. But if we choose to stay, we can only hope that after the Golden Core Cultivator has decimated our main force, we may be able to hold out for three days with the help of our formations.¡±


    With two choices and given the urgency in setting up the Teleportation Array, they didn¡¯t have much time to deliberate.


    Weng Chuanyou was indecisive. If he, as the leader, chose to abandon the disciples of the sect, regardless of whether the Divine Wood Sect won or lost the war, his prospects within the sect would be over.


    However, the matter concerned his own life and the murderous intent of that Golden Core Cultivator was still imprinted in his heart. Instinctively, Weng Chuanyou leaned towards the first option.


    ¡°Younger Brother Chen, what do you think?¡±


    Weng Chuanyou asked Chen Mobai. Though he was the nominal leader of the team, Chen Mobai was their strongest combatant, so everyone¡¯s gaze immediately turned towards him.


    ¡°I will absolutely not abandon the disciples of my sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai resolutely stated, showing the fearless and straightforward character of a Sword Cultivator.


    Upon hearing this, Xi Yisheng nodded in approval.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s put it to a vote.¡±


    Liao Shiying from the Penalty Evil Hall suddenly suggested, and everyone thought he disagreed with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I agree with Chen.¡±


    As the deputy head of the Sword Training Department, although Xi Yisheng knew that leaving would ensure his survival, he did not want to go against his conscience.


    The remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators showed hesitation upon hearing this.


    Although fear of death is instinctive, the Divine Wood Sect had indeed treated them well. If they abandoned the Qi Practitioner disciples to protect themselves now, they would likely live with guilt, even if they survived and returned to the sect.


    If everyone else chose to abandon them, they would naturally follow the crowd. However, Chen Mobai¡¯s righteous words and determination filled them with shame.


    In the end, six people raised their hands to decide to set up the Teleportation Array here, at least giving those disciples a glimmer of hope for survival.


    The only ones who hadn¡¯t expressed their opinions were Weng Chuanyou and Liao Shiying.


    However, after the rest had agreed, Weng Chuanyou, as the leader, would surely follow the majority.


    Only Liao Shiying from the Penalty Evil Hall remained.


    But when everyone¡¯s gazes turned to him, he suddenly burst into laughter.


    Then a powerful aura erupted from him, and Liao Shiying¡¯s face suddenly changed, turning into a dignified visage that everyone was very familiar with.


    ¡°Greetings to Elder Fu!¡±


    To Chen Mobai¡¯s surprise, this man turned out to be another Golden Core elder from the Divine Wood Sect.


    Although E Yun had warned him earlier, no one had expected that this Elder would be hiding among this small troop.


    ¡°Chen Guixian, you did well.¡±


    Fu Zongjue looked at Chen Mobai with admiration, then waved his hand to signify that no one needed to be overly courteous.


    ¡°I¡¯m only a puppet body here, my true body is still with Chu Zuoshu. Master Nan¡¯s cultivation level is above mine, if I confront him, I¡¯ll also have to recall this Rank-3 puppet body.¡±


    Due to the urgency of the situation, Fu Zongjue revealed his identity and immediately began to command the next strategy.


    ¡°Senior Brother Chen has already arrived in Rock Country, and if he joins forces with Senior Brother Zhou, they will surely kill Ji Zhenshi on the spot. I was originally here to prevent any accidents, but meeting Master Nan is also rewarding.¡±


    ¡°On one hand, set up the teleportation array and prepare to retreat, on the other hand, guard against Mountain Shaker Peak calling on cultivators from the other two countries for a siege.¡±


    ¡°All disciples are part of the sect, but if you really can¡¯t hold on, I allow you seven to retreat first.¡±


    With this statement from Fu Zongjue, everyone seemed to have found their central pillar and responded loudly.


    ¡°Elder Fu, this is the harvest of these days, it is safest with you.¡±


    Weng Chuanyou put the more than 300,000 spirit stones collected after occupying the Spirit Stone Mine into a large storage bag and respectfully handed it to Fu Zongjue¡¯s puppet body. The latter was not polite and accepted it directly.


    Afterward, he transformed into a green light, rising to the sky, disappearing in front of everyone.


    ¡°Junior Brothers, let¡¯s get to work.¡±


    With Fu Zongjue gone, Weng Chuanyou began to energetically direct operations. Inwardly, though, he wiped a bead of sweat off his brow. If he had abandoned the Qi Practitioners and left earlier, his future in the sect would surely be gloomy.


    Speaking of which, he still had to thank Chen Mobai. If it weren¡¯t for this sword cultivator junior brother insisting on his own views, not abandoning or giving up, Weng Chuanyou and the others would undoubtedly have prioritized their own lives.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, we owe you a favor today. If there¡¯s anything you need in the future, just give the word.¡±


    Weng Chuanyou expressed his gratitude to Chen Mobai, and the others also nodded in agreement.


    If they all run away today, even if Elder Fu gives them a pass because of the war, they will certainly be unwelcome when they return to the sect in the future.


    ¡°I was just following my heart.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were very elegant, but in reality, he felt that if Chu Zuoshu¡¯s army was defeated, Rolling Thunder Mountain might not be a safe place, and going there by teleportation array might be walking into a trap.


    Moreover, he had a Short Teleportation Talisman in his hand. If a Golden Core Cultivator really came knocking, it would be easy to escape.


    Not long after, they felt two terrifyingly powerful surges of spiritual energy erupt from the location of the miniature spirit stone mine where the two sects¡¯ large armies were stationed.


    It should be that Fu Zongjue and Master Nan, the two Golden Core cultivators, have started their confrontation.


    At this point in the war, one could say that the battle was fully engaged.


    But bad news soon arrived.


    As expected, Fu Zongjue, who was in the early Golden Core stage, was no match for Master Nan. However, because of his appearance, he had ensured that the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s army did not collapse and orderly withdrew from Rock Country.


    But in doing so, the large army of Ji Dingjin was now liberated and able to move freely.


    Luckily, Fu Zongjue had bought enough time for them to set up the teleportation array.


    However, more bad news followed. The army of Mountain Shaker Peak, after driving back the Divine Wood Sect, did not rest and headed directly towards them.


    ¡°Let¡¯s retreat first. I hope that half of these disciples can safely return to the sect.¡±


    Weng Chuanyou gave the final order to Chen Mobai and the other six.


    Outside of these seven people, the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect, many of whom were carrying storage bags, looked anxious and had an uncertainty about their future in their eyes. However, most people still gritted their teeth and left the spirit stone mine in all directions.


    The teleportation array takes some time to activate each time. After the Qi Cultivation completion, those who can seize the opportunity are definitely the late-stage Qi practitioners. Those Qi practitioners who know they can¡¯t wait for the teleportation array choose to leave early.

    Seeing that most of the Qi Practitioners had left, Weng Chuanyou calculated the time and designated the order of the remaining Qi Practitioners to use the teleportation array. He then nodded to Chen Mobai and the others and was the first to step into the teleportation array.


    Their group of seven, plus three disciples who had reached Qi Cultivation perfection, made up the first batch of ten people.


    However, after a flash of spiritual light, the ten of them were still standing in the same place.


    ¡°Not good, the teleportation array in Rolling Thunder Mountain has been closed or damaged. It must have fallen.¡±


    The color drained from Weng Chuanyou¡¯s face as he considered the worst possibility.

 Chapter 442 - Chapter 442: Chapter 319 Return to the City_1

    Chapter 442: Chapter 319 Return to the City_1


    In the Spirit Stone Mine, Chen Mobai and the other six watched all the Qi Practitioners leave before saying their goodbyes.


    If the Teleportation Array couldn¡¯t be used, then their last resort would be to escape by other means.


    Everyone departed in different directions. In the end, it all came down to who had the best luck.


    After bidding farewell, the remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators turned into streaks of Spiritual Light, disappearing into the sky.


    One fled towards Sky Country, another towards Rainbow Country in Liu Jia Mountain, while Weng Chuanyou and Yue Tianheng chose to head for Frost Country, under the jurisdiction of Snow-blowing Palace.


    Another person, surprisingly headed directly towards the heart of Rock Country.


    It seemed that the mindset was: the more dangerous the place, the safer it would be.


    ¡°Chen, where will you go?¡±


    Only Xi Yisheng and Chen Mobai were left. The former asked the latter.


    ¡°I¡¯m headed for Rolling Thunder Mountain.¡±


    That meant straight into the arms of Ji Dingjin¡¯s large army. But Xi Yisheng did not voice his confusion. Instead, he just waved his hand, transforming into a Sword Light and heading toward Frost Country.


    Once everyone had disappeared, Chen Mobai stood alone in the now deserted Spirit Stone Mine and sighed deeply.


    The Short Teleportation Talisman could only be used by a single person. He could only wish the rest of the Divine Wood Sect disciples safe returns to the Sect.


    He pulled out a sealed jar of wine from his storage bag and popped it open with a strike. It looked as if a sharp sword had cut open the seal.


    After taking a big gulp, Chen Mobai turned to leave the place.


    Suddenly, a yellow Spiritual Light descended from the sky like a meteor and hurled violently towards him.


    With a loud rumbling sound¡­


    The entire Spirit Stone Mine seemed unable to withstand the impact and began shaking violently.


    Chen Mobai retreated to mid-air, standing above the clouds, watching the dust fill the sky below him.


    A towering figure clad in full armor appeared before him¡ªJi Dingjin.


    ¡°Oh, only you are left it seems.¡±


    Ji Dingjin looked around and seeing that the place was deserted, his brow furrowed unconsciously.


    ¡°You arrived fast. It seems this Spirit Stone Mine is indeed very important to your Shake Mountain Top.¡±


    As Chen Mobai said this, he raised his wine jar, took another swig, then sat on his Red Misty Cloud Silk¡ªby all appearances, intending to have a chat with Ji Dingjin.


    ¡°Preserving your lives is the most important thing to us.¡±


    Ji Dingjin¡¯s fist clenched, a powerful surge of qi exploded out from it.


    But an Ancient Bronze Mirror materialized and blocked in front of Chen Mobai.


    Ji Dingjin¡¯s horrifying fist strength, enough to shatter a small mountain, only managed to make the Rank-3 Magic Artifact tremble slightly before dissipating.


    ¡°It¡¯s very brave of you to stay behind, to cover your Sect member¡¯s escape. But if I were you, I would have been the first to flee.¡±


    Ji Dingjin, noting that Chen Mobai was the only one left and considering his status and position, inferred that he had voluntarily stayed behind.


    Even though he admired this, as an enemy, Ji Dingjin reluctantly knew he had to kill this genius from Divine Wood Sect who represented the greatest chance of reaching Core Formation.


    ¡°Even without the help of Elder Nan, I doubt you can kill me all by yourself.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very confident that he could escape from this body cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, thanks to his Short Teleportation Talisman¡ªa spatial tool that a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could not block.


    ¡°Overconfident! I admit you are very talented and have a Rank-3 Magic Artifact, but if I¡¯m willing to risk my life, I can still drag you down to Huangquan with me. Moreover, I only need to hold you off. Once my Shake Mountain Top cultivator army arrives, we can use the Large Formation and numerical advantage to seal your fate.¡±


    Ji Dingjin bloviated, but Chen Mobai, holding all the aces, just laughed and took another long drink from his jar.


    This audacious and carefree attitude of Chen Mobai, who seemed ready to die, made Ji Dingjin sigh inwardly, thinking how great it would be if this young man was a disciple of their Shake Mountain Top.


    ¡°Ji Zhenshi is nearing death. You still have the mood to besiege me here?¡±


    However, the next words out of Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth made Ji Dingjin explode with fury.


    ¡°Even if Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang join forces, they still don¡¯t understand the terror of the Void Law Body. Moreover, after Elder Nan of Liu Jia Mountain breached the Rolling Thunder Mountain, he already went to Shake Mountain Top. Your schemes from Divine Wood Sect will never succeed.¡±


    ¡°Go to Shake Mountain Top? I think he should try to escape back to Liu Jia Mountain.¡±


    Despite his mocking tone, Chen Mobai was worried about his two disciples.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that Elder Nan could breach Rolling Thunder Mountain. Fu Zongjue should have been able to hold up.


    Or perhaps there were unexpected changes that he was unaware of.


    But now was not the time to think about these things.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai finished the last bit of wine in his jar, wiped his mouth with his sleeve¡¯s edge, and then laughed heartily as he threw the empty jar at Ji Dingjin.


    With a ¡°pop¡±!


    The jar was directly crushed by Ji Dingjin¡¯s palm. Then, the body cultivator from Shake Mountain Top at the peak of Foundation Establishment, expanded both his eyes and body. He channeled black and red Spiritual Power, which surged dramatically as he dashed quickly into the air.


    Looking up at his opponent close by, Chen Mobai stared with intense eyes. Two invisible blades formed from Divine Sense erupted instantly, and in the blink of an eye, they cut into Ji Dingjin¡¯s Sea of Consciousness.


    Although Ji Dingjin was a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, he had focused so much on increasing his physical strength that his Divine Sense was his weak point.

 Chapter 443 - Chapter 443: Chapter 319: Return to the City_2

    Chapter 443: Chapter 319: Return to the City_2


    This was exactly why Ji Dingjin had always been unable to take the crucial step into the Core Formation stage.


    As the Divine Slash struck into his sea of knowledge, it was like two fine needles stabbing into his forehead, causing Ji Dingjin to frown inadvertently.


    Seizing this opportunity, Chen Mobai reached out and pulled out the Flying Sparrow Hairpin from his bun.


    Utilizing his Fire Spirit Body, Qingyang Fire Seed, and Sun Raising technique combined with this Rank-2 top-grade Flying Sword that could best manifest his Red Flame Sword Jue, Chen Mobai unleashed the most powerful Sword Light he could presently manifest.


    Although Ji Dingjin¡¯s Divine Sense was his weakness, his realm was still higher. He forcibly suppressed the two Divine Sense Notions that had invaded his sea of knowledge using his vast Divine Sense.


    Then, facing the dazzling Sword Light that had already descended upon him, he glared angrily and spat out a strong surge of vital energy.


    A pitch-black vortex emerged seemingly out of nowhere before the Sword Light, swallowing Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Light like a black hole. Then, it exploded in mid-air not far away, landing on the ground and creating a deep trench several hundred meters long.


    Amidst the whistling air current, Chen Mobai saw that after Ji Dingjin had redirected his Sword Light, he had pulled out a Black Mace as thick as an arm from the void. With a terrifying force that could crush Pure Iron, he heavily smashed it towards Chen Mobai.


    The ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± turned into streamlets of air current. While it took Chen Mobai backward, it was also gradually damping Ji Dingjin¡¯s attack.


    However, the defensive power of this magic artifact was still somewhat lacking in front of a body cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment stage, and it immediately exploded into a sky full of clouds.


    Chen Mobai could only activate the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror by his ear. A ray of radiant golden light fell from the mirror surface, transforming into a spherical shield, which protected him from all angles without any blind spots.


    The Black Mace smashed onto the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield, bursting out with a very dull noise,


    But the power of a Rank-3 magic artifact was still something Ji Dingjin couldn¡¯t break through.


    Though Chen Mobai was repelled over a dozen meters, he only suffered from mild tinnitus and suffered no injuries.


    After he probed with a gesture, Chen Mobai estimated his own strength.


    If he was fighting against someone at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment, with the help of a Rank-3 magic artifact, he might be able to achieve a surprising victory. However, against Ji Dingjin, a cultivator with rich battle experience at the peak of Foundation Establishment, he basically stood no chance.


    ¡°Was that what shifted my Sword Light just now, the famous ¡®Void Law Body¡¯ of the Shake Mountain?¡±


    Although he had figured out that his Sword Light might be unable to breach Ji Dingjin¡¯s defenses, Chen Mobai had not expected it to be so easily countered.


    Even Mu Hanxiong had to rely on layered armor to withstand it.


    But the method Ji Dingjin used just now had made Chen Mobai feel a bit creepy.


    It wasn¡¯t because of the weird ability of the Void Law Body.


    It was because he remembered the Underworld Array he had encountered on Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    The abilities of the two were very similar.


    Could there be a connection between them?


    But one was used by a Corpse Cultivator and the other was the town¡¯s cultivation technique of the East Wilderness Major Sect. They shouldn¡¯t be connected, should they?


    ¡°Today, you will die here.¡±


    Ji Dingjin didn¡¯t answer Chen Mobai¡¯s question directly, instead, he pulled out another Black Mace from the void.


    This time, Chen Mobai noticed. When the Black Mace appeared, a pitch-black vortex appeared in mid-air, exactly the same as when the Underworld Array was activated.


    At this very moment, streaks of Escaping Light lit up in the distance and started heading in this direction.


    When Chen Mobai activated his Void Spirit Eye, he naturally saw that it was the rest of the cultivators from the Shake Mountain.


    And behind them, there were numerous Flying Boats; clearly, the army of cultivators from Rock Country was on the way.


    It was time to leave.


    However, he still needed to deliver the necessary parting words; he couldn¡¯t let the Divine Wood Sect lose face.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t find today¡¯s battle satisfying, so let¡¯s call it a draw. If we have the chance in the future, let¡¯s have a good fight again.¡±


    In reality, Chen Mobai had already exhausted all his means. His last resort was to use the Flame Explosion Technique to ignite the heavenly and earthly might of the Qingyang Fire Seed all at once, and unleash the Sword Light.


    But that would mean losing the fire seed that took years to cultivate, and he definitely wouldn¡¯t do that.


    ¡°Although I¡¯d very much like to go all out and fight one-on-one with you, to experience the battle fervor that hasn¡¯t boiled in a long time, the interests of the sect are paramount. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll have to die under the onslaught of our battle array.¡±


    Ji Dingjin said these words with regret. Chen Mobai was the strongest sword cultivator he had ever seen, with an astonishing level of talent and destiny, possessing even a Rank-3 Magic Artifact.


    Given some time, he was sure to achieve great deeds.


    But unfortunately, he was an adversary, and Ji Dingjin had to leave him here today.


    Even if he let the rest of the Divine Wood Sect members escape, he would undoubtedly kill this young man.


    ¡°We¡¯ll have a chance, next time we meet, I¡¯ll show you how unstoppable I can be when I put my all into it.¡±


    Chen Mobai faced the Mountain Shaker Peak cultivators, who were beginning to form a battle array at a distance, without fear. Right when Ji Dingjin thought him to be out of his mind, he saw him take out a silver talisman.


    ¡°Is it a Rank-3 or Rank-4 talisman? Is he risking his life?¡±


    Ji Dingjin¡¯s heart tightened. For someone who possessed a Rank-3 Magic Artifact, having a Rank-4 talisman was possible.


    His Void Law Body had not been fully cultivated. Facing the power of a Rank-4 talisman, it was very likely that he would die on the spot.


    Just as Ji Dingjin stepped back, Chen Mobai initiated the Short Teleportation Talisman in his hand.


    Silver light flared up like a thin veil, enveloping his entire body in the blink of an eye. His figure slowly faded, eventually turning into particles of light that disappeared without a trace!


    ¡°Escape Sky Talisman! This is impossible! How could he have such a talisman!¡±


    Ji Dingjin watched this scene, dumbfounded.


    In his experience, only a Rank-4 Escape Sky Talisman could instantly teleport a person away.


    But no one in the Eastern Wilderness could create such a talisman. Even if the Core Formation elders had them, they were treasured life-preserving trump cards.


    ¡°Could it be that he has obtained the inheritance of some hidden major sect?¡±


    This thought suddenly surfaced in Ji Dingjin¡¯s mind, causing his expression to change dramatically. But by this time Chen Mobai had left and all he could do was stamp his foot in frustration and direct the cultivators of Rock Country who had cornered him to spread out and chase the remaining disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    However many spirit stone mines they could recover would be a bonus. Even if they couldn¡¯t recover them, they would kill all of them out of spite.


    ¡­


    Within the twinkling silver light.


    Chen Mobai felt a sensation different from Turtle Treasure¡¯s teleportation. Compared to Turtle Treasure¡¯s effortless method, this Short Teleportation Talisman was a little dizzying.


    Even though he had tried it twice before, he was still not quite used to it.


    Opening his eyes, everything around was pitch black. He carved an entrance in the sealed mountain cave with his sword for people to pass through.


    After coming outside, Chen Mobai looked in the direction of Rolling Thunder Mountain. Even though it was far away, after activating his Void Spirit Eye, he faintly saw strands of indescribably black fire, which gave him a slight sting in his eyes.


    This black fire made him instinctively feel fear, as if once tainted, his foundation would collapse and his divine sense would disintegrate.


    Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not fly towards Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    He returned to the desolate mountain, resealed the cave entrance, and then took out his phone.


    He decided to return to the Immortal Gate and hide for a while.


    After all, the key to the current battle lay with the three Core Formation elders of the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff. If they could kill Ji Zhenshi and the Dao Master of South, then they would surely have a big victory.


    As a cultivator in the early foundation stage, he could not play a significant role in such a battlefield.


    Moreover, he had successfully occupied Ji Dingjin¡¯s attention in the Rock Country for a while, buying time for the other sect disciples to escape. He had already done his best.


    He would peek his head out again when the time was right and see what the result was.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If the Divine Wood Sect won a great victory, he would say he had covered the sect disciples¡¯ retreat, had a big battle with Ji Dingjin, barely escaped, but was seriously injured and had to recuperate for a while before he could return to the sect.


    If they lost¡­


    Chen Mobai clenched his fist. He had feelings for the Divine Wood Sect.


    He made up his mind that once his cultivation level was high, he would surely kill Ji Zhenshi and the Dao Master of South to avenge their Sect and the fallen Sect members.


    With a clear mind, Chen Mobai pressed ¡°Return to City¡±.

 Chapter 444 - Chapter 444: Chapter 320: Face _1

    Chapter 444: Chapter 320: Face _1


    After returning to the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai naturally first visited the student council.


    This time, Hua Zijing didn¡¯t hold back and directly made him handle the accumulated paperwork.


    Chen Mobai also reflected for a moment, feeling it wasn¡¯t right to delegate everything to subordinates. Given that Zijing was graduating this year, he felt a need to be more engaged, to understand what exactly needed to be done in the student council.


    His decision delighted Hua Zijing, who promptly began to transfer her burdens onto Chen Mobai one by one.


    It was during these days that Chen Mobai understood the true meanings of the comments that Zijing had made about Zhuang Jialan before.


    ¡®High potential for growth¡¯ meant she didn¡¯t yet have any usable skills.


    ¡®Large room for improvement¡¯ meant she was starting from the bottom.


    ¡®Great learning ability¡¯ meant she didn¡¯t know anything.


    The matters the student council handled were actually very complex. As a bridge between the teachers and students of the Daoist Academy, they needed to communicate with all the instructors of the 18 major specializations and 72 electives, and even the students.


    Zhuang Jialan was good at most things, but her communication and coordination skills were lacking somewhat. However, these were skills that could only be developed with long-term experience.


    Hua Zijing also had her share of stumbling when she first began, always relying on her seniors.


    Moreover, Zhuang Jialan did have her strengths. She used to be a study committee member in her class, and along with class president Si Guanyu, was responsible for coordinating the entire class¡¯s learning plan. Having liaised with the student council before, she had a foundation to build on.


    For this reason, it was somewhat easier for Zijing to guide her. After three months, Zijing even handed over to her the task of coordinating with the teachers and students of the Runes Department and its four elective courses.


    Since Zhuang Jialan was most familiar with the Runes Department itself, she was able to handle the task quite well.


    ¡°Why is everything dumped on our student council?¡±


    ¡°What on earth are the teachers of the Taoist Academy doing?¡±


    ¡°I think we need to reform the system of the Taoist Academy, and let the teachers participate in its administration again.¡±


    Only a week¡¯s workload had made Chen Mobai feel that the student council was dealing with too many matters. He suggested reducing the workload.


    But Hua Zijing just shot him a look and told him not to even dream about it. The teachers, having successfully shaken off these tasks, would not possibly take them back.


    The most arduous task of the Student Council within the Daoist Academy was formulating the teaching plan and coordinating interdepartmental courses to prevent conflicts.


    As the number of students choosing each major field and elective differed each year, the Academy needed to devise a new teaching plan and assign teaching resources according to the number of students.


    This involved a large outlay of credits, which were directly connected to the resources within the Taoist Academy Treasure House, and therefore required utmost caution.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy has a tradition, that after graduation, Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, given that they don¡¯t need to serve in the army, and still want to enjoy the benefits of the Rank-5 Spirit Vein of Crimson Mountain and exchange for Gold Core spiritual material, would directly convert to assistant teachers at the Academy.


    All four Dao Academies reserved a chance for their students to reach Gold Core.


    Generally, after a ten-year study, those successful at Foundation Establishment would become teaching assistants, continue their cultivation while waiting for the Academy¡¯s arrangement to grind out their seniority, and accumulate the necessary credits to exchange for Gold Core spiritual material. This was the average life of most Daoist Academy students.


    A teacher of an elective course could receive 10 credits after a year of teaching in the Academy.


    If they were teachers of a major course, they would get double the amount.


    With 18 major and 72 elective courses across ten grades in the Academy, if fully staffed, that would mean an annual nominal expenditure of 10800 credits on the Academy¡¯s teachers. The Academy would have to shoulder this expenditure itself.


    Compared to that, even though the annual expenditure on students¡¯ credits was also substantial, for this part, the Dao Academy could apply for reimbursement from the Immortal Gate.


    The Immortal Gate, in fact, would be more than happy to see the Academy apply for more.


    Bigger applications indicated a greater number of new students admitted to the four major Dao Academies, which in turn signified a brighter future for the Immortal Gate.


    However, the four major Dao Academies were not enticed by the subsidies from the Immortal Gate. Even though they had been expanding enrollments over the years, they always kept them within a reasonable range.


    The reason the Immortal Gate didn¡¯t subsidize the Academy¡¯s teachers was actually to nudge this group of talents stuck on the campus to venture into society and play a more active role in various fields.


    Indeed, the Daoist Academy also hoped these people could leave.


    But these cultivators didn¡¯t have much desire for material things. Some didn¡¯t even need magic artifacts, focusing only on refining Spirit Qi, upgrading their own realm, and aspiring to have Core Formation or even Nascent Soul Formation.


    For these True Cultivators, both the Immortal Gate and the Daoist Academy were on the same page, left helpless.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai thought of his batchmate Zha Jianbai, who was actually the top swordsman of the 5012 batch. He had begun to undertake auxiliary teaching tasks in The Sword Control Department quite early on. He seemed determined to become a teacher at the Taoist Academy after graduating.


    Even Qu Hongyu, the senior who welcomed new students, and Mi Yudao, the senior he¡¯d encountered at the Treasure Trove, had chosen the same path.


    After all, as long as you worked there for sixty years and accumulated enough credits, you could exchange for a Five Elements Gold Core in any of the four great Dao Academies.


    Qing Ping was the best example, who achieved Core Formation and even Nascent Soul Formation this way.


    Because of this, the burden of supporting so many assistant teachers and teachers placed heavy pressure on the Daoist Academy. As the number of teachers increased, a competition for teaching assignments also began to emerge.

 Chapter 445 - Chapter 445: Chapter 320: Face_2

    Chapter 445: Chapter 320: Face_2


    Besides those senior professors from all major departments who have already reached Core Formation, the Daoist Academy hires annually, allowing them to choose the major and elective courses they want to teach. The rest of the Foundation Establishment teaching assistants even need to tap into their connections to get teaching assignments.


    Zha Jianbai, for instance, was already assisting with teaching during his student days. After graduation, True Cultivator Zuo Gong could naturally recommend him to become a teacher for the lower grades.


    For those like Qu Hongyu and Mi Yudao, who are of average talent and without the care of a Golden Core Cultivator, they can only bide their time, waiting for a vacancy in the courses they are good at and then step in to become a teacher.


    If they teach well and receive unanimous praise in subsequent student surveys, they will receive more and more teaching tasks, and they might even become teachers of primary courses in the future.


    These aspects such as survey questionnaires, course arrangements, etc., would require the assistance of the student council.


    Of course, the student council certainly doesn¡¯t have the authority to arrange teachers¡¯ courses. That lies with the academic affairs office.


    Hua Zijing told Chen Mobai that due to resource constraints, the Daoist Academy usually controls the amount of academic credit they spend on teachers each year to around three to four thousand. If a course has fewer registered students, several grades may be combined into one class to save credit and teaching resources.


    The tasks of combining classes, and dealing with all sorts of trivial matters in communicating with students and teachers, also fall on their student council.


    To enable a purer environment for teaching and learning, to allow teachers to focus on teaching and students to concentrate on learning, the Daoist Academy from a very early time delegated virtually everything other than core assignments such as arranging teachers to the student council.


    Partly for this reason, after being involved for only a week, Chen Mobai as the student council president was already feeling the headache.


    After all, communication and coordination are not tasks that can be completed by individual effort alone. It requires making call after call, even setting up face-to-face meetings, and not everyone¡¯s schedule can necessarily be neatly arranged together.


    ¡°The academic affairs office needs to arrange a trial class for the elective course ¡®History of Magical Instruments¡¯ in the Refining Implement Department, and they want us to coordinate the time and course details,¡± Hua Zijing announced the latest issue that needed to be resolved.


    She and Zhuang Jialan had already spent half a month discussing this issue, but had not yet made a decision.


    Having no choice, Chen Mobai had to personally take action.


    Since it was his first time handling such an issue, Hua Zijing didn¡¯t pin much hope on him; she just wanted him to experience the difficulties they faced.


    But that day, Chen Mobai left in the morning, and by the time he went to eat lunch, he phoned in to say that he had already resolved the issue.


    The class would be held tomorrow.


    ¡°How did you manage to do it?¡±


    Upon returning, Chen Mobai, who was in the office stroking a white cat, looked at Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan, who had rushed in with wide eyes in disbelief, and pointed at his own face.


    ¡°You have such influence?¡±


    ¡°Not exactly, while I do have a bit of reputation, the reason why the teacher of History of Magical Instruments, Mr. Liu, was willing to accommodate me, it was because I invited him to discuss the matter in Teacher Che¡¯s office in Building One.¡±


    Hearing this, Hua Zijing couldn¡¯t help giving Chen Mobai, who had discreetly used his resources, a big thumbs up in admiration.


    All course arrangements in the Dance Tool Dao Academy were decided by the academic affairs office, and the director of the academic affairs office was Chen Mobai¡¯s teacher, Che Yucheng.


    By inviting people for discussions in Che Yucheng¡¯s office, no matter how difficult the issue, it would no longer be a problem.


    ¡°Both of you work hard. Teacher Che happens to be free tomorrow, and he wants to sit in on this trial class too.¡±


    With sincere admiration, Hua Zijing took Zhuang Jialan to arrange for this.


    On the academy side, since there are quite a few Foundation Establishment True Cultivators lingering around Crimson Mountain, but the number of primary and elective courses available each year is limited, while they need to cater to newcomers by giving them a chance to test the waters, they have the concept of trial classes.


    Such trial classes involve choosing a curriculum for the new teacher to teach, where students normally attend the class, but in the end, a row of professors and senior teachers from the Daoist Academy will sit in as observers to evaluate the teaching level of the new teacher.


    After the trial class, the student council will conduct a questionnaire survey. If the professors and students are both satisfied, then the following year they will start arranging for him to become a lower-grade teacher for this elective course. If his teaching level improves subsequently, they will start scheduling him to teach higher grades.


    Next, it would be the main course teacher.


    However, the competition in this field is even more intense, as each teacher¡¯s teaching level is already very high. The Daoist Academy can only distribute opportunities evenly: this year you, next year him, the year after it¡¯s someone else, and so on¡­


    Since cultivators¡¯ lifespan extends to 240 years after reaching Foundation Establishment, and there is a new batch of graduates every year, it is unavoidable to be stuck in such an ¡®involution¡¯ situation.


    But even under such circumstances, the higher-ups at the Dance Tool Dao Academy still offer opportunities for young Foundation Establishment True Cultivators to distinguish themselves.

    If you receive unanimous praise in the trial class, you will be given a chance to teach an elective course for a year.


    ¡°With the realm of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, it should be quite simple to meticulously prepare a class that can satisfy most people, right?¡±


    On the day of the trial class, Chen Mobai, as a representative of the student council, was reporting to Che Yucheng, the director of teaching, and asked about some doubts in his mind.


    ¡°If they can be prepared for a class to make people satisfied, they should be able to prepare for every class. As long as they are willing to put forth effort, we at the Daoist Academy are willing to give opportunities.¡±


    ¡°And besides, while putting forth effort, they will get used to this rhythm of meticulously preparing for class. In fact, these new teachers might be more responsible and focused than those older teachers, at least for the first few years.¡±

 Chapter 446 - Chapter 446: Chapter 320: Face_3

    Chapter 446: Chapter 320: Face_3


    ¡°It is precisely for this reason that we are willing to give each newcomer a chance, not only to eliminate some teachers who have lost their motivation and original aspiration, but also to ensure the egalitarianism of opportunities.¡±


    ¡°The reason why Immortal Path can maintain its long-term stability is because it allows every cultivator to see the hope of ascension. Even if this glimmer of hope is extremely faint, but at least, when they lift their heads, they can see that ray of light in the darkness.¡±


    If everything around is completely dark, then cultivators would easily fall into despair and self-doubt.


    Fairness and justice, everyone has an opportunity, this is also the foundation of Immortal Path¡¯s governance over the Yuan Star.


    After listening to Che Yucheng¡¯s guidance, Chen Mobai was thoughtful.


    On the Immortal Path¡¯s side, as long as you have talent and are willing to work hard, even if you can¡¯t enter the top four Daoist Academies, you can still establish your foundation in places like the top ten academies, or even the 120 Manors.


    After Foundation Establishment, choose one of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal to study. As long as you can become top-class in your chosen field, then you have the chance to join various big businesses, to earn the chance to exchange for a Five Elements Gold Core.


    Take Wu Shangru for example, his talent in rune creation is outstanding, so he was recruited by the number one talisman factory of the Immortal Path.


    After the trial class ended, members of the student council immediately came in to distribute questionnaires to each student.


    And the long-serving professors at the end of the line received their forms from Chen Mobai directly. Out of respect for Che Yucheng sitting in the middle, they filled them out on the spot.


    After collecting them, Chen Mobai handed them over to Hua Zijing, then followed Che Yucheng who stood up and left first.


    ¡°Sir, at the end of the year, I will lead a team to Jumang Daoist Academy. Do you have any instructions?¡±


    On the school¡¯s mountain road, master and apprentice walked one after the other.


    Che Yucheng: ¡°What plans do you have?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Well, not anything specific. Like Little Red Sky, just promote the reputation of our Academy.¡±


    Che Yucheng: ¡°Offline, that might not be enough for you.¡±


    Che Yucheng spoke frankly. Although Chen Mobai had mastered the Sword Light, a rank-2 Foundation Establishment against the rank-7 Foundation Establishment from the other three great Daoist Academies, who are all top-class, he had basically no chance of winning.


    ¡°Then what is your thought, master¡­¡±


    ¡°The Pure Yang Academy wants to let Xiahou Weihuan and Sima Xingyu participate too. They say that it¡¯s to let the graduated seniors guide the juniors in school. I¡¯ve already taken the opportunity to get the other three great Daoist Academies to agree.¡±


    What Che Yucheng said left, Chen Mobai a little confused. Even if he was a good fit, coming up against these two former chiefs of the Pure Yang Academy, who had the absolute advantage of possessing the Pure Yang Scroll and Primordial Yang Sword Secret, he wasn¡¯t sure of winning.


    ¡°Could it be that you want to let Lan Haitian participate again using the pretext of guiding the juniors at the offline workshop?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of this possibility, presuming that the Dance Instrument Dao Academy was going to repeat an old trick.


    ¡°Lan Haitian has already taken the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill and has gone into closed-door cultivation.¡±


    Che Yucheng shook his head and said something that made Chen Mobai feel disappointed. When would he be able to reach this stage?


    ¡°As Lan Haitian can¡¯t come, Xiahou Weihuan is confident that as long as he can participate, he can win against anyone. Since that¡¯s the case, I have also informed the three rank-9 Foundation Establishment graduates of our Academy. This time when you lead the team, they will follow you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel curious.


    ¡°Master, can these three seniors defeat Xiahou Weihuan?¡±


    ¡°To tell you the truth, they might not definitely win. But I¡¯ve arranged something. Hong Mengkui¡¯s disciple has studied ¡®The Union of Differences,¡¯ I¡¯ve sent her to Duanmu sister.¡±


    ¡°Vice-principal Duanmu? Going there¡­¡±


    At first, Chen Mobai was a little confused, but halfway through he got the point and couldn¡¯t help sucking in a breath of cold air.


    Duanmu Longrong is in charge of the Treasure Trove where the highest things one can get are rank-4 magic artifacts.


    Remembering that Che Yucheng had specifically mentioned that this senior was cultivating ¡®The Union of Differences,¡¯ Chen Mobai instantly understood what his master¡¯s arrangements were.


    ¡°Master, it¡¯s a bit forced for a rank-9 Foundation Establishment true cultivator, even at the Perfection realm, to control a rank-4 magic artifact.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai felt it very strenuous to control the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, a magic artifact that he had cultivated as his life¡¯s spiritual artifact using the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method. He could stimulate it at most three times.


    After the third time, he felt his spiritual power being drained. He was dizzy, and his vitality and blood were fading.


    As for the rank-4¡­


    He felt that even if he was completely drained, he might not be able to activate it.


    ¡°You¡¯re underestimating ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯¡­¡±

 Chapter 447 - Chapter 447: Chapter 321 Divine Consciousness Breakthrough_1

    Chapter 447: Chapter 321 Divine Consciousness Breakthrough_1


    Although the Dance Tool Dao Academy possesses two techniques of Divinity Transformation, Chen Mobai, who has focused on the Pure Yang Scroll, is still not very familiar with ¡°The Union of Differences¡±.


    He only knows that this technique is a tool cultivator¡¯s technique, and is one of the fastest tactics to cross realms in the cultivator¡¯s world.


    But the key to success lies entirely on the ¡°tool¡±.


    For instance, Zhongli Tianyu, who has a Rank-4 Bagua Mirror, cultivates at such a swift speed that it even made Chen Mobai envious.


    ¡°By the way, teacher, since I am leading the team, could I designate the students of the Daoist Academy to participate in this offline exchange and competition?¡±


    Upon thinking of this, Chen Mobai suddenly raised a question, which caught Che Yucheng by surprise.


    ¡°Who are you thinking of bringing?¡±


    ¡°Zhongli Tianyu. He also has a Rank-4 Magic Artifact, and his cultivation level is not weak. He can be considered a useful combat power.¡±


    ¡°As for him, it¡¯s better to give him a heads-up in advance. I have a good relationship with the patriarch of the Zhongli family and I promised to look after him.¡±


    Hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai nodded.


    The master and disciple chatted for a while before parting at the fork in the road of the main building.


    Before leaving, Che Yucheng gave Chen Mobai the contact information of three people.


    They are the three Foundation Establishment ninth level graduates that he invited to assist, named Sun Daoji, Chi Shicheng, and Bian Jingchun.


    Among them, Bian Jingchun is the senior who cultivated ¡°The Union of Differences¡±, she is the disciple of Hong Mengkui, the master of Crimson City, and she is currently refining a Rank-4 magic artifact in the Treasure Trove.


    Chen Mobai contacted all of them.


    Sun Daoji answered the call instantly. After introducing themselves, they had a friendly conversation and got to know each other.


    Chi Shicheng returned the call after a while. After graduation, he had joined a scientific research department under the immortals through the Academy¡¯s connections. He was quite busy with his current project, so he was not able to answer the call immediately.


    But he stated that his project will end at the end of the year, and has already taken time off in advance for the Daoist Academy offline exchange and competition.


    Both of them knew Chen Mobai.


    After all, as Little Red Sky expanded over the past two years, Chen Mobai, who has consistently led the ranking by a significant margin, has become a widely known figure.


    Everyone considers him as having a high probability of reaching Core Formation and even sees Chen Mobai as the next Lan Haitian.


    After a friendly exchange, Chen Mobai called Bian Jingchun.


    However, it seemed that the senior student was in closed-door cultivation, and she did not respond even after two days.


    Chen Mobai simply sent her a text message and put the matter at the back of his mind.


    After all, she is currently in the Treasure Trove. Once she finishes her cultivation, it would be easy to arrange a meeting with the Student Council.


    Of course, the main reason is that Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Manipulation Technique has reached a critical breakthrough point again.


    Actually, it should not have happened so soon, but at the beginning of the year, due to Meng Huang and Chan¡¯s failures in reaching the Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai fell into a state of entering tranquility.


    After he came out of his confusion on his own, his divine sense greatly improved.


    Moreover, with the continuous supply of Spirit Dew from Clear Eyesight Bamboo and the intense battles in the Tianhe Realm not long ago, his perspectives and state of mind have broadened.


    Finally, today, the Green Paulownia Seedling which has differentiated grew robustly and bore flowers and fruits.


    With the experience of the first fusion of divine sense, this time Chen Mobai completed the unity of the divine sense very easily, without even taking the God Returning Pill, simply by listening to the opera singing of Meng Huang in the chat records.


    After completing the Divine Manipulation Technique once again, Chen Mobai¡¯s realm of divine sense astonishingly reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.


    The improvement of divine sense is like a tiger with wings added for cultivation.


    Chen Mobai felt that he could control spiritual power, run cultivation techniques, and refine spiritual qi more swiftly and smoothly.


    Moreover, he distinctly perceived that his divine sense could grow further again.


    Because he took the heart of the divine wood, although his realm is currently only the second level of Foundation Establishment, his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion is as expansive as a sixth-level cultivator¡¯s.


    The so-called bottleneck in cultivation refers to the limitations of the Qi Sea and the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    When the Qi Sea in the Dantian is filled with spiritual power, it needs to be expanded again to accommodate more; the Sea of Knowledge works the same way. When the divine sense fills up the Purple Palace, it cannot grow anymore, and if it continues to grow, the head would explode.


    The immortals divide the two original expansions of the Qi Sea and the Sea of Knowledge into eight times, naturally greatly reducing the difficulties of breakthrough.


    Despite his low current realm, Chen Mobai can grow his divine sense without concerns, because his Purple Palace has been cultivated to the equivalent of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.


    It still has a lot of space now, it is far from reaching its limit.


    That¡¯s why after merging the divine consciousness for the second time, his divine consciousness doubled, jumping past the third level of Foundation Establishment, and directly increased to the equivalent of the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.


    Observing the jade green Plane Tree, which has grown four fruits, in his Sea of Knowledge, Chen Mobai felt that he had completely mastered the Divine Manipulation Technique.

    Therefore, he decided to cultivate two Green Paulownia seedlings after the fused divine sense fully blended in.


    One would be used for fusion, and the other would be used solely to control the Faceless Puppet.


    As the situation in the Tianhe Realm becomes increasingly tense, he might need to stay in the Divine Wood Sect for a long time, but he needs to cover both the immortal world and the Daoist Academy, so it¡¯s necessary to create a clone.


    Fu Zongjue¡¯s puppet body gave Chen Mobai inspiration.


    It was clear that this older generation¡¯s expert also divided his mind into thoughts. His real body stayed with Chu Zuoshu to protect the main forces of the sect, while his puppet body stayed with them, possibly to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, or maybe for some other protective purpose. All this was done without anyone noticing any flaws.

 Chapter 448 - Chapter 448: Chapter 321 Divine Consciousness Breakthrough_2

    Chapter 448: Chapter 321 Divine Consciousness Breakthrough_2


    Chen Mobai was taught by Che Yucheng, and learned the art of puppet mastery, although he hadn¡¯t paid much attention to it earlier due to his focus on cultivating the basic Pure Yang Scroll.


    Therefore, he dedicated these two days to learn more. While Che Yucheng found it a bit strange, he was nonetheless delighted to see his disciple willing to learn the puppetry technique.


    Under the careful guidance of a Golden Core Cultivator, Chen Mobai learned the trick quickly.


    His real body and the faceless puppet looked at each other. Following the techniques taught by Che Yucheng, the puppet¡¯s face and skin transformed until it resembled another Chen Mobai.


    The feeling of looking at oneself was very novel.


    After the puppet body was successfully created. Chen Mobai even let it attend the student council on his behalf. Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan didn¡¯t notice that the person they¡¯ve spent the entire day with was just a puppet.


    Chen Mobai was very pleased.


    In the future, his real body and the faceless puppet could separately oversee the student council and the Divine Wood Sect. When his real body was busy, the puppet could manage things on its behalf.


    After finishing most of the preparations, Chen Mobai returned to the Tianhe Realm for a while.


    His real body stayed in a desolate mountain, while his divine sense controlled the faceless puppet on a trip to the Rolling Thunder Mountain.


    The whole place was charred black. The spiritual energy was mixed with a putrid smell. Fortunately, as it was a puppet body that didn¡¯t need to absorb spiritual energy and relied solely on the superior spirit stone in its body for energy, it did not get affected.


    ¡°Could this be the¡­ Bead that Breaks Meridians!¡±


    Although Chen Mobai hasn¡¯t seen this situation before, he had heard about the Bead that Breaks Meridians from some in the Divine Wood Sect. The current status of Rolling Thunder Mountain looked like the aftermath of a blast by the Bead that Breaks Meridians, where the veins of the earth were tainted by ancient poison.


    If the clan of Nan Shi truly used such a lethal weapon, it was no wonder that Fu Zongjue could not hold them off.


    With the Spirit Vein of Rolling Thunder Mountain contaminated, no cultivator could be found in the vicinity anymore.


    Chen Mobai could only feel regretful and then issued a few message talismans to his two disciples, Chu Zuoshu, Yue Zutao, and other acquaintances.


    However, after waiting for two days, he received no response.


    He could only leave the puppet body there and have his real body retreat back to the cultivation institute.


    But upon his return, Chen Mobai felt something was amiss.


    Being just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the sensation of having his divine sense split across two realms caused him to feel a disconcerting dizziness.


    He felt as if his mind had been stretched across the ends of the earth. His instinct was to merge back into one, but due to the immeasurable distance, he could do nothing.


    Thankfully, although his divine sense was divided across two realms, it did not disappear or get damaged.


    During episodes of weakness and dizziness, Chen Mobai forced himself to get accustomed to the sensation.


    After all, if he wanted to manage both the cultivation institute and Tianhe realm in the future, his real body and puppet body would have to remain separated in the two realms for a long time.


    Luckily, the dizziness was bearable for Chen Mobai.


    He opened up his chat history with Meng Huang and repeatedly played her melodious opera recording. Initially, it did offer some relief.


    However, after a few plays, Chen Mobai realized that the opera no longer had any effect on him.


    But he had already known this.


    The songs and voices of cultivators practicing the Way of Music contained unique spiritual power fluctuations that were as melodious as the music of nature. Although the records and videos available online were pleasant to the ears, they didn¡¯t have the same spiritual effects as hearing them live.


    It was because of this that Bian Yiqing had to bring Jiang Yuyuan and Meng Huang to travel throughout the whole cultivation institute and its blessed lands to enlighten the young cultivators. Only by hearing it directly could they potentially stimulate their minds and understand the divine sense.


    Of course, an immersive record bought back home initially does have some kind of spiritual effect.


    However, as time passes and with each play, this spiritual effect would eventually disappear.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s voice chat history with Meng Huang has been used multiple times when he was trying to merge his divine sense into one for the first time.


    But now, its spiritual effect had all been drained.


    Thinking about it, it seemed like he hadn¡¯t contacted Meng Huang in a long time.


    He wondered whether she had found any opportunity to reach the threshold of laws after failing her Foundation Establishment during her tour around the cultivation institute.


    With that thought, Chen Mobai sent Meng Huang a long overdue message.


    [Are you there?]


    He waited for a long time, but there was no response.


    She must be busy, maybe singing a song.


    With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai felt his head slightly alleviate from dizziness after listening to Meng Huang¡¯s opera. He didn¡¯t want to bother her further and had to distract himself.


    He opened his friends list.


    Chen Mobai was surprised to see that Qing Nu, who he¡¯d marked as special, was online. He sent her an emoji out of curiosity.


    [What¡¯s up?]


    Qing Nu promptly replied with three words.


    Chen Mobai: [Are you at school at the end of the year?]


    Qing Nu: [I should be.]


    Chen Mobai: [What do you mean you should be (question face)]


    Qing Nu: [I recently joined a department of a Dao sect under the recommendation of my advisor to prepare to obtain the Jade Return Pill after graduation. The department occasionally assigns me urgent tasks, and I just finished assisting in the creation of a large batch of Golden Wind and Dew Cream, so I¡¯m currently free. But I can¡¯t say the same about the end of the year. Why do you ask? Are you looking to visit me during the holidays instead of returning to Red Sandstone City?]


    Qing Nu and Chen Mobai have a deep friendship. They met at a time when they were insignificant, and know each other well through incidents involving Kong Feichen and Yang Jing. Hence, Qing Nu¡¯s speech is casual and direct.


    Chen Mobai: [Exactly, I¡¯m bringing a team to attend the offline exchange forum organized by your Daoist Academy at the end of the year. I thought we haven¡¯t met for three years, we might be able to gather this year.]


    Qing Nu:[I almost forgot you are now the head of Dance Tool Dao Academy. I¡¯ll try my best, but the department I joined has strict rules, so I can¡¯t promise I¡¯ll be available.]


    Upon reading this, Chen Mobai responded with a ¡°Okay¡± emoji.


    Then he inquired about the three kinds of longevity elixirs offered at the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute and asked if she could prepare them if he provided the medicinal herbs.


    Qing Nu: [Probably not, these specialized elixirs typically require dedicated cultivation pools and pill furnaces to prepare. In other words, the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute orders pill-refining magical instruments from large equipment factories to refine the elixirs in a way that minimizes failure rates and potential toxicity.]


    Qing Nu:[If I were to refine these myself without the tailor-made instruments, I¡¯d probably have to fail a few times before finally getting it right. Even then, the toxin content would likely exceed the limit.]


    Qing Nu:[It would be too wasteful. For these specific elixirs, it¡¯s better to just buy them directly. By the way, why do you need to replenish your life span?]


    Chen Mobai:[It¡¯s not for me. It¡¯s for a friend who did some misguided things when they were younger¡­]


    Since Qing Nu also lives in Red Sandstone City and might meet Chen Xinglan in the future, Chen Mobai thought for a moment and decided not to use his father as an excuse again.


    Qing Nu: [Oh.]


    After chatting a little more, Chen Mobai shared his experience of the Divine Consciousness Breakthrough, expressing his gratitude to Qing Nu once again.


    After all, the Divine Manipulation Technique was specially selected by Qing Nu for him, and it indeed perfectly fit his needs.


    Qing Nu: [It¡¯s because of your exceptional talent.]


    This comment warmed Chen Mobai¡¯s heart. Praises from others didn¡¯t feel as genuine as this simple compliment from Qing Nu.


    After all, apart from the resources in the Tianhe Realm, his current success could also be attributed to the Soul Awakening Dao Pill given to him by Qing Nu.


    If not for this pill, he might still be struggling like Meng Huang, worrying all day about how to establish his foundation and comprehend the critical Daoist techniques.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai wondered if Qing Nu could exchange another Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    It wasn¡¯t for his own use but for Meng Huang. He wondered whether he could ¡°buy¡± some time at her opera house with it and solve the Divine Consciousness problem.


    But after thinking it over, Chen Mobai chose not to ask.


    He felt a little embarrassed and couldn¡¯t bring himself to ask the question.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Perhaps he could hint this information to Meng Huang and let her figure out how to obtain a Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    After chatting with Qing Nu for a while longer, they wished each other goodnight.


    Chen Mobai stayed up until the next transmission time and returned to the Tianhe Realm.


    Withdrawing his Divine Sense from his Puppet, Chen Mobai felt a long lost sense of clarity and refreshment.


    He even sensed an increase in his Divine Sense, as if this had been a good method for Divine Consciousness growth. However, it made him a bit dizzy and didn¡¯t suit him very well.

 Chapter 449 - Chapter 449: Chapter 322 The Outcome of War_1

    Chapter 449: Chapter 322 The Outcome of War_1


    Chen Mobai estimated the time and felt that the battle between the Core Formation elders should have had a result, so he left the barren mountains.


    Rolling Thunder Mountain¡¯s Spirit Vein was polluted and there were no longer any cultivators.


    Chen Mobai had no intention of heading to Rock Country. The most urgent matter was to find out the result of the battle between the two sects.


    After thinking for a moment, he headed towards a local Fang market in Lei Nation.


    However, just as he began to fly into the sky, a message talisman flew towards Chen Mobai.


    Upon looking at it, he couldn¡¯t help but show a relieved expression.


    It was sent by Yue Zutao. Though Rolling Thunder Mountain was broken, Fu Zongjue managed to save most of the people from the Divine Wood Sect.


    They were now recuperating in the Luyang Mountain Market closest to Rolling Thunder Mountain. Chu Zuoshu had taken the severely injured sect disciples back to Giant Tree Ridge and left Yue Zutao in charge of gathering the scattered survivors of the war.


    Chen Mobai had his sect nameplate with him and happened to be within the range of the message talisman, so he received Yue Zutao¡¯s message intended for all the missing Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    He immediately drove the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± towards Luyang Mountain Market.


    ¡°Brother Chen, it¡¯s great that you¡¯re safe.¡±


    Yue Zutao was personally waiting at the entrance of the market. Seeing Chen Mobai unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    ¡°What¡¯s the outcome of the battle among the higher-ups?¡±


    Chen Mobai followed Yue Zutao into a Divine Wood Sect store in the market. The two sat in the topmost loft, and after exchanging some pleasantries, he directly asked the most critical question.


    If the two Core Formation elders were defeated, their Divine Wood Sect would likely return to the Five Elements sect.


    ¡°With Elder Zhou and Elder Mo of the Golden Cliff making their moves, even if Ji Zhenshi broke through to the late stage of Core Formation, he would still meet a dead end. However, when Ji Zhenshi was about to die, Kong Lingling of Snow-blowing Palace and Yan Shaoyin of Back to Sky Valley proposed reconciliation. In addition, Nan Shidao hurried over too, leaving the two elders no choice but to spare his life.¡±


    In other words, all the major sects in the Eastern Wilderness, except the Five Elements Sect, became involved in this war.


    Although it was expected, both Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace used to rely on Mountain Shaker Peak of Liu Jia Mountain to survive in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The Core Formation elders were well aware of the phrase ¡®When the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.¡¯


    If the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff joined forces to destroy the Shake Mountain and kill Ji Zhenshi today, their two sects might also meet the same fate tomorrow.


    Hence, no matter how unwilling they were, Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley had to intervene and at least save Ji Zhenshi¡¯s life.


    But there seemed to be something missing in all of this.


    After discussing with Yue Zutao, both of them found the war very strange. Although Meng Hong, the sect leader, and the two elders could clearly see the signs of provocation, they still initiated the war, even involving all the major sects in the Eastern Wilderness except the Five Elements Sect.


    It seemed as if they were deliberately stirring things up, trying to change the layout of the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Why hasn¡¯t the Five Elements Sect made a move?¡±


    Yue Zutao figured out the crux of the matter, and Chen Mobai nodded slightly.


    Theoretically, if the Five Elements Sect were to cooperate with the other sects, they could potentially reabsorb the separate Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff, but they showed no signs of intervention.


    They allowed the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff to join forces and again pressured the other four major sects to unite.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t Master Chu know?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again. Chu Zuoshu, as the next sect leader, was already the highest-ranking person under the two elders. He was also the chief commander in this attack on Mountain Shaker Peak. If he didn¡¯t know anything, he would definitely not be so enthusiastic.


    ¡°Master said that the Sect Leader wanted to clear things inside and outside the sect before his retirement, so as to leave Master an easier control of the three halls and twelve branches. The war against Shake Mountain was roughly planned last year, and after the Spirit Stone Mine started to lose money, the Sect Leader took advantage of the situation and planned to use this as an excuse to attack Rock Country.¡±


    Yue Zutao hesitated for a moment, but felt that Chen Mobai was trustworthy, and then revealed what he knew to him.


    ¡°What about Brother Yuan and Fu?


    ¡°The Sect Leader just wanted them to casually investigate, but who would have expected them to discover a mysterious force behind Gong Wanshan and Zheng Wulyu, after which things got a bit out of control.¡±


    ¡°Apart from the seven major sects in the Eastern Wilderness, are there any other forces?¡±


    ¡°The various chambers of commerce, and the grand leaders of areas outside the Eastern Wilderness, even the Five Elements Sect has to tread lightly.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai did not ask any more questions. At least their Sect elders had won, which was the best news.


    ¡°Brother Weng, Brother Xi, have they responded?¡±

    Of the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators who occupied the Spirit Stone Mine, to avoid being pursued by the army of Shake Mountain, they all fled in different directions.


    Chen Mobai had fought Ji Dingjin and bought them some time, but even so, their chances of survival were slim.


    ¡°Elder Brother Wang¡¯s corpse was found at the border between Rock Country and Lei Nation. He seems to have been caught up with by the army, and there has been no news from the others. You are the first to respond to the message talisman.¡±


    When Yue Zutao said this, his expression was gloomy.


    Although the Divine Wood Sect had triumphed in this war, their losses were severe, with eleven Foundation Establishment cultivators dead.

 Chapter 450 - Chapter 450: Chapter 322 War Outcome_2

    Chapter 450: Chapter 322 War Outcome_2


    Furthermore, seven are still unaccounted for and whether or not they are alive is unknown.


    Even though the Divine Wood Sect is strong, this incident could be likened to a crippling wound.


    ¡°May the blessings of heaven keep them all safe and sound,¡± Chen Mobai exclaimed, before inquiring about the current situation between the two sects.


    ¡°As victors, our Divine Wood Sect should naturally recover our losses from the Shake Mountain Peak. Our two founding ancestors are currently negotiating with the Core Formation ancestors of the remaining four sects, with the aim to have Shake Mountain Peak compensate us with a small Spirit Stone Mine and two Miniature Lingshi Mines.¡±


    This accounts for nearly half of the Shake Mountain¡¯s assets. No one would willingly accept this.


    However, Yue Zutao remarked that Dudan ancestors from Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley, who had no intention of participating in the war, only wanted to save Ji Zhenshi¡¯s life. Therefore, this matter was still negotiable.


    ¡°So basically, the war is over?¡± Chen Mobai asked. Yue Zutao nodded in agreement.


    ¡°If the Sect Leader can successfully establish his core, then even if Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace enter the war, our Divine Wood Sect and the Golden Cliff would surely annihilate Shake Mountain Peak.¡±


    After chatting for a while, suddenly, two Qi Cultivation disciples came up from downstairs.


    ¡°Master, it¡¯s a relief to know you are well,¡± they said.


    The visitors were Chen Mobai¡¯s disciples, Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan. Under Yue Zutao¡¯s care, although they had experienced several major battles, they had been able to safely survive.


    However, their faces were very pale. Chen Mobai could tell that something was not right with them.


    ¡°The two disciples were affected by the strength of the Bead that Breaks Meridians. The toxic gas entered their bodies and may have damaged their foundation. The Alchemy Department is already preparing the antidote Spirit Pill. All sect disciples who participated in this war can get it for free.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression also darkened.


    He signaled for his disciples to extend their arms so he could check their pulses. After inspection, he found that Luo Yixuan was only slightly weak and otherwise fine.


    On the other hand, it seemed that Liu Wenbo¡¯s vitality had been blunted, as if he had lost several years of his lifespan.


    ¡°Master, it may be because of the spell you maintained within me for a long time. When the toxic gas entered my body, my meridians instinctively produced a harmonizing yang energy, neutralizing some of it. So, I was not as badly affected as my fellow disciple,¡± Luo Yixuan quietly informed Chen Mobai through a sound transmission spell. Upon hearing this, light dawned on Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Brother Yue, I will take them back to the sect.¡±


    Yue Zutao did not object and even personally escorted them out of Fang Market.


    ¡°Bear with it.¡±


    Above the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, Chen Mobai extended his fingertips and incorporated the Flame Lighting Technique into Liu Wenbo¡¯s body.


    A trace of dark energy suddenly surfaced on Liu Wenbo¡¯s originally pale face, and then slowly seeped out, eventually dissipating into thin air.


    ¡°Thanks, Master.¡±


    After the toxic gas in his body was expelled by the Flame Lighting Technique, Liu Wenbo coughed up a mouthful of black blood. However, his face instantly looked much better. He struggled to salute Chen Mobai, but was stopped.


    ¡°Rest well, this is a good opportunity for you. You previously consumed pills to improve your cultivation, making your foundation unstable. Now that this toxic gas has taken away two of your realm levels, it might end up being a blessing in disguise.¡±


    Liu Wenbo, being born into a prestigious family, has basically been relying on medicine to practice cultivation till now. When he pledged allegiance to Chen Mobai, the foundation of his body was already fixed and the damage done by pills was deep. It was not easy to change this.


    If things continued this way, even if he had the Foundation Building Pill, the chance of success would be very low.


    However, the entry of toxic gas this time removed his level nine Qi cultivation, dropping him to level seven. There is a chance that this misfortune could be transformed into a blessing.


    There are still three years before the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms mature. He should have enough time to become a True Disciple.


    ¡°Master, I heard that brother Yu Lian also got your help, which allowed him to get the second place in the real transfer.¡±


    On the way, Liu Wenbo sat cross-legged at the edge of the misty cloud, holding two Spirit Stones in his hand, trying to recover his cultivation level as soon as possible. After detoxification, Luo Yixuan took the opportunity to ask Chen Mobai various questions.


    ¡°The main reason is that he was able to rank among the top in the True Disciples. I wonder how many Foundation Building Pills Brother Zeng could prepare this time?¡±


    At the beginning of the year, the alchemy department had already collected all the main and auxiliary ingredients needed to refine the foundation building pills. By now, the pills should be ready to come out of the oven. Last time, Zeng Woyou successfully made two of them. Here¡¯s hoping this time wouldn¡¯t be any lesser than the previous one.


    ¡°Had I known the sect would be making Foundation Establishment Pills this year, I wouldn¡¯t have held back last year.¡±


    As Luo Yixuan said this, her pale little face was full of regret.


    ¡°Even if you had gone all out, you still wouldn¡¯t have been able to beat Yu Lian and Mu Yuan.¡±


    Chen Mobai told her the truth. Initially, he thought that Luo Yixuan would argue back, but she just nodded seriously, a look of relief flashing across her face, as if she would believe anything he, her mentor, said.


    The trio of master and disciples flew on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± for half a month before they finally returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    Upon returning to the sect, Chen Mobai received some great news.


    Zeng Woyou has succeeded in producing three Foundation Establishment Pills.


    Mu Yuan, Yu Lian, and Li Yixian, the three true disciples, didn¡¯t hesitate at all, rushing to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to make requests for the exchange of Foundation Establishment Pills.


    ¡°I hope at least one of them would be successful. The sect has lost quite a few foundation establishment cultivators this time.¡±


    Within the Reward Virtue Hall, Chu Zuoshu and Chen Mobai sat facing each other, the former sighed as he spoke.


    As the inspector of the Reward Virtue Hall, Chen Mobai naturally had to report to Chu Zuoshu as soon as he returned to the sect. It was through him that he got the good news about Zeng Woyou¡¯s success in refining three pills.


    ¡°Mu Yuan¡¯s contribution points for the sect have been prepared by the Sect Leader; Li Yixian, as a true disciple of the puppet department, has also managed to scrape together enough somehow; only Yu Lian who has been cultivating at Shan Hongyi¡¯s mountain gate for the past few years, hasn¡¯t accumulated much. He gave the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture to the sect in exchange for enough contribution points.¡±


    Listening to Chu Zuoshu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was very surprised.


    Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm view the inheritance of cultivation techniques as more important than their own lives.


    For Yu Lian to give up the Silver Sky Sect¡¯s cultivation technique for a Foundation Establishment Pill, not only did it help him earn contribution points, but it probably also expressed his loyalty to the sect.


    Although Yu Lian¡¯s second place standing among the true disciples wasn¡¯t suspended thanks to Chen Mobai, the underlying potential problem still persisted.


    After all, even though three Foundation Establishment Pills have been produced, none of them have been placed in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion yet. Until they are actually in someone¡¯s hands, the situation can always change.


    Recently, the disciple of the artifact refining department who ranked fourth among the true disciples has been trying to find ways to pull Yu Lian down from his position.


    At this time, Yu Lian trading the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture for contributions to the sect was undoubtedly a smart move.


    According to Chu Zushu, the Sect Leader had already decided who would receive the three Foundation Establishment Pills.


    It would be the top three True Disciples.


    ¡°Hall Master, do you know how many people in the sect can practice the Green Flames Sword Slaughter by using the sect¡¯s Green wood evil?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked another question. After the war, he deeply felt that his cultivation level was still too weak. If he could master the Sword Sha, he would not have to use a short teleportation talisman to escape when he encounters Ji Dingjin next time.


    ¡°Oh, has your Qingyang fire technique been fully developed?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu had already witnessed Chen Mobai¡¯s sword light on the battlefield. In order to master the Green Flames Sword Slaughter which is a part of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Red Flame Sword Charm, beside being in the sword light realm, one also needs to fully develop the Qingyang fire technique. With this, they could condense the Green wood evil and eventually burn the evil with fire, bringing the power of the sword light to a higher realm.


    ¡°It should happen in the next few days.¡±


    During his time in the immortal sect, Chen Mobai had not wasted any time. Using the spiritual energy of fire vein from the Treasure Trove, he had integrated Yue Zutao¡¯s Qingyang fire seed into his own Qingyang fire.


    In addition to getting the Pure Green Technique from the Talent Tree and making a breakthrough in his divine sense, the enhancement of his fire seed which originally would have taken several months has now nearly completed.


    ¡°Ever since Elder Fu condensed the evil, the quantity of Green wood evil has recovered over fifty years. It should currently be enough to condense twenty-one swords evil. However, Xie Yuntian has already reserved all of it, and I¡¯m afraid it might be difficult to ask him to give some up.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chu Zuoshu was truthful and let out a sigh.


    ¡°Well, it seems I¡¯ll have to find a way outside of the sect.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai had no choice. After all, in terms of seniority, cultivation level, and even contributions to the sect, Xie Yuntian, the head of the sword training department, surpassed Chen Mobai, who had only established his foundation four years ago.


    ¡°But you¡¯re mine, so I¡¯ll find a way.¡±


    Just when Chen Mobai had given up all hope, Chu Zuoshu gave a mysterious smile, resurrecting his hopes once again.

 Chapter 451 - Chapter 451: Chapter 323 Intimate Disciple_1

    Chapter 451: Chapter 323 Intimate Disciple_1


    One day, Chen Mobai was observing the hybrid spiritual rice sown in the spring with Zhuo Ming.


    Some are double-cropping and now we can observe the adaptability of the finished product.


    ¡°Focus on these five in the future. After the rest are harvested, you can use them to brew wine.¡±


    After looking at all the spiritual rice, Chen Mobai confirmed that the five hybrid spiritual rices were within the feasibility range of adapting to Rank-2 earth qi, and asked Zhuo Ming to remember them.


    The ones used to make wine are the failed products of cultivating Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    Over these years, besides the spiritual rice contributed to the sect, Zhuo Ming uses the remaining to brew wine. Because the price of selling it directly is too low and it¡¯s not as popular as fasting pills.


    Thanks to the excellent yeast Chen Mobai brought from his hometown, the wine he brewed was quite good, each with a unique flavor. Infused with various herbs, it has now become a unique local flavor of Divine Wood City.


    When people mention South Mountain Shop, even those keen on cultivating in the sect know that the wine from this shop is exceptional.


    At this time, a young girl in a moon-white gown, with a delicate figure and exquisite face, but somewhat pale, walked over.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at Luo Yixuan with slight surprise. Although the poisonous gas from the Bead that Breaks Meridians did not affect his disciple¡¯s Flame Lighting Technique much, it still damaged her vitality. After returning to the mountain, he asked both her and Liu Wenbo to focus on healing.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to rest? Why are you here again?¡±


    ¡°Five green wood evils have been put up at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. Master, you asked me to keep an eye on it. So, as soon as I got the news, I rushed over.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai showed a trace of joy. Chu Zuoshu lived up to his position as Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall and presumably the next sect leader, for he actually managed to get Xie Yuntian to give up five green wood evils.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, prepare some good wine. I will go to thank Hall Master Chu.¡±


    Although Zhuo Ming was not quite certain why Chen Mobai was so delighted, she obediently went to the wine cellar and fetched a small jug of precious Rank-2 Spiritual Wine, as well as five jugs of different types of Rank-1 Spiritual Wine.


    Luo Yixuan carried the wine and followed Chen Mobai as he flew towards Divine Wood City.


    In the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, Chen Mobai showed his own sect nameplate, and a familiar Foundation Establishment cultivator came out.


    This person¡¯s name is Chen Zhenwu. He is also one of the Inspection Envoys of the Reward Virtue Hall. On the battlefield of Rolling Thunder Mountain, Chen Mo Bai and he assisted Chu Zuoshu in practicing the Azure Light Formation together. They chatted a bit because of their shared surname.


    ¡°Brother Chen, it¡¯s great to meet you again in our sect.¡±


    Chen Zhenwu is also one of the rotating head elders of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. This month is his duty, and he needs to handle the exchange of precious items such as Foundation Building Pills in person.


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t in a hurry to exchange for the Green Wood Evil. As long as everything has been arranged by Chu Zuoshu, the Evil was up for sale and the person who could handle the exchange was in front of him, then it meant these five Greens Wood evils were for him.


    Many Qi Cultivation disciples were in the main hall, and their faces showed respect when they saw the two Foundation Establishment elders.


    ¡°Brother Chen, let¡¯s talk inside.¡±


    Chen Zhenwu led Chen Mobai and his disciple into a partition on the second floor of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, where a pot of tea was already brewing.


    ¡°Although the sect possesses Green Wood Evil, it has always been regarded as taboo by the Sword Cultivation Division, so it has not been on sale in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to avoid being exchanged out. Chu Hall Master had to ask Fu Inspector specially to act as the middleman, and they both invited Xie Division Head for tea, with multiple pleas to reluctantly agree to let go of the five Green Wood Evil. Brother Chen, you should remember this favor.¡±


    Chen Zhenwu is not really Chu Zuoshu¡¯s man, but a direct subordinate of Fu Huakun, inspector of the Reward Virtue Hall.


    After Chu Zuoshu has been confirmed to be the next Sect Leader, the position of Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall has naturally become the goal of those who have ambitions.


    The most likely candidates are Vice Hall Master Luo Xue¡¯er and Inspector Fu Huakun.


    Among them, Fu Huakun has the support of Elder Fu, but doesn¡¯t have as much experience as Luo Xue¡¯er.


    Luo Xue¡¯er, being a Shenmu Hall native and a direct descendant of the Sect Leader, has once served as the inspector of the Alchemy Division and the head of the Spirit Plant Division, and thus has a wide network of connections.


    However, as the final battle on the frontline has not yet ended, both people are restrained and are only secretly trying to win over those who have the voting power.


    As one of the inspectors of the Reward Virtue Hall, Chen Mobai also has a vote.


    ¡°Inspector Fu stood up for me during the Rolling Thunder Mountain Battlefield. Naturally, I lean towards him.¡±


    Even though it was ultimately Chen Mobai who faced off against Mu Hanxiong, this favor is certainly worth remembering.


    Also, if Fu Huakun truly helped with the matter of Green Wood Evil, Chen Mobai would support him even more.

    Even though Luo Xue¡¯er is more likely to succeed the Reward Virtue Hall, in politics, even if you have mistaken positions, you cannot give people the impression of being mean and ungrateful.


    Chen Zhenwu mentioned the key points of the matter.


    Xie Yuntian, as the head of the Sword Cultivation Division, has great prestige due to his strong fighting power, and is considered the first among the twelve divisions. However, although he has practiced Sword Light, another key to Condensing Sword Demons, Qingyang Fire, has not yet fully integrated.


    The Qingyang Fire Seeds that have been placed on sale by the sect in recent decades have all been exchanged by Xie Yuntian.


    As the only Sword Cultivator in the sect who has practiced Sword Light besides Chen Mobai, it is only a matter of time before Xie Yuntian completes Qingyang Fire Seed. If he wanted to monopolize Green Wood Evil, no one would dare to disrespect him.

 Chapter 452 - Chapter 452: Chapter 323: Thoughtful Disciple_2

    Chapter 452: Chapter 323: Thoughtful Disciple_2


    Just for this reason, there was always no Green Wood Evil on the shelves in Spirit Treasure Pavilion, as it was generally accepted as belonging to Xie Yuntian.


    Previously, Yue Zutao had also reminded him of this matter.


    Thus, when Chen Mobai expressed his intention to cultivate Sword Sha, the first person he needed to convince was Xie Yuntian.


    Although Chu Zuoshu could use his blue blood with the Reward Virtue Hall to forcibly have the Green Wood Evil put on the Spirit Treasure Pavilion shelf, this would no doubt provoke animosity with Xie Yuntian.


    This would definitely be detrimental to his future control of the sect.


    If it were not for the fact that Chen Mobai is already considered Chu Zuoshu¡¯s direct descendant, and has a great future ahead of him, being the most likely young genius to achieve Core Formation, Chu Zuoshu would have feigned ignorance and let Chen Mobai figure out a solution on his own, regardless of who came to him.


    Even so, Chu Zuoshu decided to enlist Fu Huakun¡¯s help in finding Xie Yuntian.


    The Sword Training Department falls under the jurisdiction of the Penalty Evil Hall, and the master of the Penalty Evil Hall is Elder Fu. Xie Yuntian, even if he doesn¡¯t give face to Chu Zuoshu, would still give face to Elder Fu.


    During their time on Rolling Thunder Mountain, both Fu Huakun and Xie Yuntian, who rank only below Chu Zuoshu in terms of status, had personally heard Elder Fu¡¯s profuse praise of Chen Mobai.


    After the two of them found Xie Yuntian together, even though Elder Fu was currently out of town, Xie Yuntian had already figured out their purpose for coming.


    While he could refuse outright, Xie Yuntian ultimately wasn¡¯t so oppressive.


    In the end, even if he practiced his Red Flame Sword Jue to the point of Foundation Establishment Perfection, at most he could only condense fifteen Green Flames Sword Sha. Right now, both Chu Zuoshu and Fu Huakun meant to leave him with enough to condense sixteen Sword Sha, sacrificing five for Chen Mobai, a Sword Cultivation Genius.


    Respecting the face of Chu Zuoshu, the future sect leader, Xie Yuntian agreed to this the next day.


    After that, the Green Wood Evil was put on the shelves.


    Before it was listed, Chen Zhenwu, the rotating elder in charge of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, was naturally notified in advance to avoid it being exchanged by others in the sect.


    ¡°Each Green Wood Evil costs 1000 sect contributions. Are you ready, junior brother?¡±


    After finishing his tea, Chen Mobai proposed to exchange for the Green Wood Evil. Chen Zhenwu chuckled as he accepted his Sect Nameplate, deducted 5000 points with a mild shock after seeing the amount it held.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you truly are a dark horse.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt a bit weird hearing Chen Zhenwu¡¯s response. After checking for himself, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a mild surprise.


    After deducting the sect contributions needed to exchange for the Green Wood Evil, it turned out he still had 16950 points left.


    ¡°Zhuo Ming has done a good job managing the spiritual fields of Xiao Nanshan in the last two years. I didn¡¯t realize I had accumulated so many sect contribution points.¡±


    Upon thinking it over, Chen Mobai knew what was going on. However, he still found it strange.


    Out of the sixty mu of spiritual fields on Xiao Nanshan, all of it is used to grow Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice and experiment with various hybrid spiritual rices. Only six mu of the spiritual fields can grow Jade Bud Spirit Rice and are supplied to the sect because their spiritual energy is thin and only Rank-1.


    Even if it yields 200 jin per mu, it would only be a select 3600 sect contribution points over the past three years.


    Adding to the contributions he had previously saved himself, and the sect¡¯s 1000 points awarded for the war, according to his estimate, would be just enough to exchange for five Green Wood Evil.


    But he didn¡¯t expect that he had accumulated so many points unnoticed in his sect account.


    ¡°Master, in addition to the spirit fields of Xiao Nanshan, Elder Sister Zhuo also manages those on Small Yang Ridge. She hired a few disciples to take care of it. Last year, I accompanied her there to give rain and fertilize the soil,¡± Luo Yixuan, who was at Chen Mobai¡¯s side, noticed Chen Mobai¡¯s confusion and promptly moved over to clue him in on what was happening while Chen Zhenwu went to fetch the Green Wood Evil.


    ¡°Did the Spirit Plant Department not reclaim the fields there?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was somewhat stupefied. Logically, when he had moved to Xiao Nanshan, the fields manipulated by the Small Yang Ridge for him should have been reclaimed by the sect and reassigned to other disciples.


    ¡°Inspector Sun from the Spirit Plant Department gave Elder Sister Zhuo the spirit veins of Small Yang Ridge, with nearby two mu of medicine fields and twenty-six mu of the spirit fields. Officially, she has taken on the task of caring for the spirit fields of Small Yang Ridge. However, all the yearly yields are credited to you by the Spirit Plant Department.¡±


    Chen Mobai was unaware of this. However, after brief consideration, he understood the motives behind this.


    Even though there were many spirit fields on Giant Tree Ridge, not many disciples planted Spirit Rice. Xiao Nanshan¡¯s rice growers are amongst the best in the Divine Wood Sect. If other disciples started working the fields in Xiao Nanshan after Chen Mobai had left, it would definitely result in waste and delays.


    So, Sun Gaochang simply handed these over to his disciple. Zhuo Ming, this child, probably tried her level best to show filial piety and, most likely, harbored feelings for Small Yang Ridge. After all, prior to his Foundation Establishment, she had learned the methods of sowing, rendering the rain, exterminating pests, and harvesting Spirit Rice alongside him.


    Thus, unbeknownst to Chen Mobai, the harvest of the two-acre medicinal field and the twenty-six acre spirit field at Small Yang Ridge were all recorded under his account.


    In three years, he had unknowingly amassed quite a bit.


    It was enough to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.


    This disciple, she was too considerate and sensible.


    Although not as tactful as Luo Yixuan, she was practical and needed to be prioritized for future development.


    Chen Mobai felt his affection for Zhuo Ming had not been in vain. In return for her efforts, he had ventured out and brought back to her a Nine Ren Law Body and an Earth Master Heritage Book.


    ¡°Chen junior brother, these are five Green Wood Evils, please check them.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Zhenwu came out, carrying a wooden tray with all five jade vials sealed with charm strips.


    ¡°Thank you, Chen senior brother. I need to go thank Chu Zuoshu and Inspector Fu, so I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡±


    After confirming there were no problems, Chen Mobai put the five Green Wood Evils into his storage bag.


    ¡°I¡¯ll walk you out.¡±


    Chen Zhenwu laughed and led Chen Mobai and his disciple down the stairs, where they unexpectedly ran into someone.


    ¡°I want to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    Standing at the door, Mu Yuan¡¯s usually calm demeanor fluctuated slightly ¡ª after all, this was a matter of his life¡¯s dao, even he couldn¡¯t avoid feeling a bit restless.


    ¡°I also want to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    From outside the door, two voices echoed simultaneously; Yu Lian and Li Yixian from the Puppet department came in.


    ¡°The Foundation Building Pill isn¡¯t available until tomorrow, you guys are early.¡±


    Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Zhenwu stepped outside to speak to Mu Yuan and the others.


    Chen Mobai observed the three men standing in the main hall of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, seemingly set on waiting until the next morning. A thought crossed his mind and he greeted them with a smile.


    ¡°Yu nephew, I¡¯ll be in Divine Wood City for the next few days. If you¡¯re not too busy after you¡¯ve exchanged for the Foundation Building Pill, you could come visit me. I have some insights about Foundation Establishment. Although they might not exceed those of our predecessors, they might still help you avoid some detours.¡±


    The moment Yu Lian heard Chen Mobai¡¯s words, his face lit up as he thanked him earnestly.


    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Chen. I will certainly come.¡±


    Upon hearing this, both Mu Yuan and Li Yixian reacted differently.


    Li Yixian especially, scratched his head, looking like he wanted to come listen as well. However, in the Tianhe Realm, such matters were deeply frowned upon. Unless directly invited by Chen Mobai, he wouldn¡¯t dare to bring it up for fear of being seen as trying to steal knowledge.


    Mu Yuan¡¯s expression remained unchanged, but Chen Mobai could see a slight conflict in his eyes ¨C a touch of eagerness, mixed with hesitancy.


    Because of Chen Mobai¡¯s success, they both took the Beast Foundation Building Pill very seriously.


    As the only cultivator in recent decades to successfully establish his foundation by taking a Beast Foundation Building Pill, Chen Mobai¡¯s experience could certainly light the way for them.


    Even if Li Yixian did not dare to ask, let alone Mu Yuan who had fought with Chen Mobai twice in the Sect Tournament and thought there was some animosity.

    Luo Yixuan, who left Spirit Treasure Pavilion with Chen Mobai, observed their reactions, her brow furrowed in contemplation. She carefully pondered the deeper meaning behind her master¡¯s words, quietly learning on her own.


    Next, she followed Chen Mobai to thank Chu Zuoshu and Fu Huakun for their role in acquiring the Green Wood Evil.


    As it happened, the three of them were already together. They immediately opened the fine wine brought by Chen Mobai and enjoyed a hearty round of drinks.


    Meanwhile, Luo Yixuan served the wine, carefully noting every word exchanged among these senior Sect members.


    This was her unique way of navigating life, quite different from Zhuo Ming¡¯s approach.

 Chapter 453 - Chapter 453: Chapter 324: All Laws Persona_1

    Chapter 453: Chapter 324: All Laws Persona_1


    In the evening, Chen Mobai sat in the courtyard of his residence in Divine Wood City.


    Luo Yixuan stood by his side, serving him wine. The wine was a new brew made by Zhuo Ming, created from a mix of Jade Bud Spirit Rice and Mysterious Frost Rice. This rice variety demanded a significant amount of water during its growth and was specific about the water¡¯s quality, requiring Spirit Rain. Therefore, the resulting wine was exceedingly pure and cooling, providing a refreshing sensation as it went down.


    After Chen Mobai finished drinking, he felt invigorated. If Qi Practitioners consumed this wine regularly, it could enhance their Divine Sense.


    As for practitioners at his Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level, it merely satisfied the taste buds.


    ¡°A guest is arriving, go welcome them,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    Upon hearing his words, Luo Yixuan dutifully put down the wine cup in her hand and went to the door to let Yu Lian in.


    ¡°Chen Shishu, greetings.¡±


    ¡°Did you receive the Foundation Building Pill? Has anyone troubled you on it?¡±


    It had been two days since the trade for the Green Wood Evil. Chen Mobai had heard about how Zhen¡¯s disciple Pang Yun of the Artifact Refining department in Spirit Treasure Pavilion was quite unhappy. He wanted to fight with Yu Lian to determine the ownership of the Foundation Building Pill.


    However, Yu Lian handled it calmly. Despite his confidence, he didn¡¯t accept the challenge.


    After all, the sect¡¯s laws were there. As the second top disciple of the previous year, he rightfully deserved a Foundation Building Pill.


    Even if someone wanted to contest it, they should take it up with third place Li Yixian according to the order.


    Yu Lian¡¯s handling of the situation caused admiration from Chen Zhenwu.


    In the end, right in front of everyone, Chen Zhenwu traded the Foundation Building Pill to Yu Lian.


    True-transmission disciple Pang Yun from the Artifact Refining department was extremely reluctant, yet he dared not violate the sect¡¯s rules, so he could only watch with his own eyes as Yu Lian took away the Foundation Pill.


    According to his cultivation level, even if he failed to get this current Foundation Building Pill, he could definitely secure the traditional Foundation Pill available three years from now. If he were to fight for it now, not even the chief of the Artifact Refining department could protect him. He might even be directly discarded and removed for damaging the unity of the sect.


    ¡°The rules of the sect are paramount. I obtained the Foundation Building Pill lawfully and reasonably, no one gave me any hardship.¡±


    Yu Lian replied with a calm tone. Chen Mobai only chuckled at his words and motioned for him to sit with a gesture.


    ¡°Xuan, refill the cup so Apprentice Nephew Yu can taste Ming¡¯s Jade Frost Wine.¡±


    Luo Yixuan moved in front of Yu Lian, frowned her skirt corners slightly and tilted the wine cup in her jade-white palm, pouring him a small glass.


    Although Yu Lian didn¡¯t enjoy drinking much, since Chen Mobai was being so courteous, he drank it all in one gulp.


    After finishing the drink, he found a refreshing chill rushing straight into his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, making him shudder, yet it left his mind feeling more alert and refreshed than ever before.


    At that moment, Chen Mobai said something that made him ponder deeply.


    ¡°For a sect to be stable and powerful, a unified code and standard from top to bottom are vital. Your ability to exchange for this Foundation Building Pill is also due to the upper echelons of the sect being willing to uphold these rules. After your Foundation Establishment, I hope that you¡¯ll protect the sect¡¯s rules from the bottom of your heart so that the sect can become stronger.¡±


    ¡°Chen Shishu, while the sect has rules, the Eastern Wilderness outside the sect is still chaotic. My master, senior brothers and sisters, and even all of my loved ones died before my eyes, crying out for help but receiving no answer. Since then, I¡¯ve understood that only your own strength is the most reliable,¡± Yu Lian replied.


    After drinking, Yu Lian seemed to loosen up a little and in a burst of emotions, he expressed thoughts that he had been hiding for a long time, knowing that his status was no longer a secret to the senior cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°What if the sect¡¯s rules were to cover the whole Eastern Wilderness? Would that be able to prevent tragedies like that of the Silver Sky Sect from happening again?¡± Chen Mobai counter-questioned.


    After hearing this, Yu Lian fell silent.


    ¡°Are you suggesting that the Divine Wood Sect should rule the entire Eastern Wilderness?¡± Yu asked.


    ¡°Consider it a goal I set for myself. After all, achieving the Cultivation Broken Mirror is not too difficult for me. To challenge myself in this simple lifestyle, I think this is a worthy aspiration.¡±


    Upon hearing this, both Yu Lian and Luo Yixuan were taken aback. The latter looked at Chen Mobai with wide, bright eyes. She knew her talented young master was ambitious, but she never expected his ambitions to be this grand.


    ¡°As long as I can avenge my loved ones, I¡¯m willing to help you achieve this goal,¡± declared Yu Lian.


    He thought that Chen Mobai valued his talents, and after giving it some thought, he felt that if he could take advantage of Chen Mobai¡¯s instruction and establish his foundation to fulfill his obsession, he wouldn¡¯t mind working for Chen Mobai in the future.


    ¡°I¡¯ve looked through the files of the Silver Sky Sect. If you intend to seek revenge, your power as an established foundation might not be enough,¡± Chen Mobai shook his head lightly and started discussing the main reason for inviting Yu Lian over that day.

    ¡°If there¡¯s anything you¡¯re uncertain about regarding Foundation Establishment, feel free to ask me. I¡¯ll tell you what I know.¡±


    Hearing this, Yu Lian bit his lip, pulling out two book scrolls from his storage bag and handed them over to Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai was surprised as he looked at them.


    ¡°Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture¡±!


    ¡°Myriad Law Body¡±!


    Yu Lian: ¡°Chen Shishu, these are two of the main techniques passed down by the Silver Sky Sect from the ancient Wan Gates. Please accept them.¡±

 Chapter 454 - Chapter 454: Chapter 324 All Laws Persona_2

    Chapter 454: Chapter 324 All Laws Persona_2


    Chen Mobai: ¡°The reason I am instructing you is because I feel that you¡¯re a person of character. Moreover, no matter how powerful the techniques of the Eternal Gate are, my foundation has already been set, so to me, these are merely useless books.¡±


    Yu Lian: ¡°The All Laws Persona is compatible with any cultivation technique. It was the ultimate technique that the Eternal Gate used to dominate the Eastern Wilderness. But because it¡¯s extremely difficult to practice, it has always been kept in the Silver Sky Sect¡¯s treasury. Uncling Chen, your talents are astonishing. You comprehended the Sword Rainbow Fission during the early stages of foundation establishment. This technique might be able to regain its glory under your cultivation.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t take it to heart.


    However powerful the All Laws Persona might be, could it possibly be more formidable than the Fairy Gate¡¯s Divinity Transformation method?


    Moreover, he still hadn¡¯t mastered his Pure Yang Daoist Body. How could he have time to distract himself with the All Laws Persona?


    Even if he wanted to practice body forging, it would be better for him to practice the Taoist Body technique that only needed resources to achieve greatness. It better suited someone of his average talent.


    ¡°Since you¡¯re so considerate, I will accept it. I can also take this opportunity to examine the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture that you¡¯re practicing and speculate about your potential for foundation establishment.¡±


    Originally, Chen Mobai only wanted to verbally share some of his experience in foundation establishment. After all, he had succeeded after two attempts at foundation establishment and had direct experience of the subtle changes in spirit, energy, and consciousness.


    He believed that he understood the process of foundation establishment more thoroughly than anyone else who succeeded in the Tianhe realm.


    But since Yu Lian was so considerate, he felt that if he were to ask him to help retrieve the tree fruit from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he would need to invest some resources as well.


    ¡°Wait here for a moment; I will go and get a magic artifact.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, he went back to his room. Then, he took out the Featureless Puppet from his storage bag, took out the high-grade spirit stone inside, and replaced it with an intermediate-grade spirit stone.


    Although it had been a while since he had used the Featureless Puppet¡¯s prediction function, as Che Yucheng¡¯s direct disciple, a master of adjusting the modes and restarting it on the fly.


    After feeding the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture into the puppet, all that was needed was Yu Lian¡¯s body data model, and Chen Mobai took out the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and returned to the courtyard.


    ¡°Relax and don¡¯t use your spiritual power to resist the light from my mirror.¡±


    The moment he finished speaking, the powerful spiritual light from the ancient bronze mirror was so intense that Yu Lian and Luo Yixuan couldn¡¯t directly look at it and both had to lower their heads.


    [What kind of artifact is this? During the Sect Grand Competition, the rank-2 artifacts compared to this mirror were like fireflies compared to the bright moon.]


    Yu Lian was shocked.


    Contrarily, Luo Yixuan had heard during her time on the Rolling Thunder Mountain that her master possessed a rank-3 mirror artifact, so she was not surprised.


    Yet even though she knew this fact, the first time she saw the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror in person, she was still stunned.


    She felt as if she were completely exposed under the radiance of the mirror, her cultivation realm concealed by the Returning Essence Secret Technique was thoroughly discovered.


    The Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror was a rank-3 artifact crafted after the model of the Soulful Mirror and could also examine a cultivator¡¯s physical data thoroughly.


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s activation, Yu Lian¡¯s body model data was all reflected into his sea of consciousness via the artifact.


    He then remotely transferred this through his divine sense into the Featureless Puppet to start the simulation of Yu Lian¡¯s foundation establishment scenario.


    To his surprise, it was successful on the first attempt.


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised, but the Featureless Puppet would display success if the probability of foundation establishment was over 50%, even though there would still be a chance of failure in reality.


    After reviewing the entire simulation process with his divine sense, he paid special attention to the glowing parts of the Featureless Puppet where spiritual power was circulating.


    He already had the answer in mind.


    ¡°Have you injured your right hand before?¡±


    Upon hearing this question, Yu Lian looked surprised, hesitated for a moment, and then gently nodded.


    ¡°When I was practicing the Silvery Sky Sword Qi initially, I injured my hand channel due to the lack of guidance. However, I think I¡¯ve recovered.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve only recovered on the surface. Your sword qi is of the orthodox Gold attribute, which is most damaging to the Wood qi. So your liver and gallbladder are a bit weaker compared to the other organs. During foundation establishment, the circulation of spiritual power will likely get blocked at this point and fail to completely carry out the step of Condensing Qi into Liquid.¡±


    Chen Mobai used the mirror to examine his complexion again. His face was slightly yellowish, a contrast to Luo Yixuan¡¯s delicate, almost pale white skin next to him.


    This was a sign of a weak liver and gallbladder.


    ¡°Though you feel that the meridians of your hand are fine, the part that was originally cut by the sword qi has not fully healed. It¡¯s best that your body has no flaws when you reach Foundation Establishment. This will increase the success rate of marrow washing.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yu Lian touched the wound on his right hand that was initially cut by the sword qi with his left hand. He channeled his Silvery Sky Sword Qi there fully, and indeed felt a slight sting as if being pricked by a needle.


    He had never considered this in the past, assuming that it was just the way his cultivation technique worked.


    Only now did he realize that his old wound had not healed fully.


    ¡°Uncle Master, how should I treat it?¡±


    This honest call of ¡°Uncle Master¡± by Yu Lian was sincere.


    Chen Mobai was reminded of the incident when he first encountered the girl from Divine Machine Mansion in Crimson City. Switching roles, he now appeared as a master in others¡¯ eyes.


    ¡°My knowledge on medicine is only superficial. However, the two types of wine brewed by Zhuo Ming happen to be suitable for your situation.¡±


    Chen Mobai had tasted the twenty new wines brew made from different hybrid spiritual rice by Zhuo Ming lately. Relying on the powerful Flame Lighting Technique, he figured out all their effects.


    Each new wine had a stockpile in the warehouse behind the South Mountain Shop; Chen Mobai asked Luo Yixuan to fetch some.


    ¡°This is Blood Activating and Meridian Connecting Wine, it¡¯s quite strong. Qi Practitioners can¡¯t drink it. Every day, moisten a handkerchief with it, then apply it to your hand wound. Continue this for a month. Within this period, don¡¯t channel your sword qi to this meridian, then you should be able to fully recover.¡±


    ¡°Liver Nourishing Wine, you can drink this. However, you need to take it with this Precious Ginseng Spiritual Rice. Cook and eat this Rank-1 top grade spiritual rice three meals per day, followed by a cup of wine. Similarly, continue for a month. In this period, don¡¯t cultivate and let your liver and gallbladder rest and recuperate.¡±


    Chen Mobai also found that Yu Lian¡¯s heart was beating especially strong, and there was a strand of untamed and pure spiritual energy in his three burners.


    ¡°Have you consumed a fire attribute spiritual medicine?¡±


    After hesitating, Chen Mobai directly asked. Yu Lian was indeed surprised. However, at this point, he was wholeheartedly convinced by Chen Mobai, and honestly revealed his past experience of eating a fiery red lotus in an underground heavenly pool in Snow Country when he was a child.


    It was after this incident that his body started to transform, and his cultivation became smoother.


    ¡°Hmm, no wonder your sword qi is quite pure. Fire refines metal, your Gold Spiritual Power is refined by this fire spirit energy each time it cycles through your three burners and heart. This is rather beneficial for your Foundation Establishment, since your spiritual power has less waste and dan poison. As long as your liver and gallbladder restore, there are basically no problems in condensing Qi into liquid.¡±


    ¡°Thanks for your advice, Uncle Master Chen. If I can reach Foundation Establishment, I will not refuse any tasks in the future.¡±


    When saying this, Yu Lian was sincere. He didn¡¯t hold the guard and vigilance he had when first entering the door.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, Yu Lian felt that there was a forty or fifty percent chance of reaching Foundation Establishment. In the Tianhe Realm, cultivators regard this as a great favor.


    While the two didn¡¯t have the name of master and disciple, after tonight, their relationship had indeed become that of master and disciple.


    ¡°Upon reaching Foundation Establishment, I will need your help to retrieve something from the Divine Tree Secret Realm,¡± stated Chen Mobai, finally revealing his true intentions at that time.


    ¡°What exactly is it?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll discuss it after you reach Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Keeping matters pertaining to his own Foundation Establishment perfection, even Core Formation in mind, Chen Mobai still hasn¡¯t revealed it, remaining careful as Yu Lian has not yet successfully reached Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Master, can you check what I need to pay attention to when I reach Foundation Establishment?¡±


    After Yu Lian left politely, Luo Yixuan appeared hesitant to speak. Eventually, upon Chen Mobai¡¯s encouragement, she timidly expressed her wish.


    ¡°Come over here.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As her disciple made a request, and the Unseen Marionette had been adjusted to the simulation mode today, Chen Mobai naturally wouldn¡¯t refuse her.


    He raised the Six Solar Divine Fire Mirror in his hand, signaling Luo Yixuan to stand in front of the mirror.


    ¡°Thank you, Master!¡±


    To his surprise, Luo Yixuan first expressed deep gratitude before walking in front of the ancient bronze mirror in measured steps.


    She looked composed, but her eyes betrayed unconcealed nervousness.

 Chapter 455 - Chapter 455: Chapter 225 Green Flames Sword Slaughter_1

    Chapter 455: Chapter 225 Green Flames Sword Slaughter_1


    Luo Yixuan left with a disappointed expression on her face.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, most cultivators view Foundation Establishment as their ultimate goal.


    Daring to think about Core Formation is beyond their wildest dreams.


    Chen Mobai simulated Luo Yixuan¡¯s Foundation Establishment process with the help of a No Form Puppet, and found that she couldn¡¯t succeed in one go. In other words, her chances of achieving Foundation Establishment did not exceed fifty percent.


    The problem remained the same. She had consumed too many pills to boost her cultivation level. Although the Flame Lighting Technique had transformed her Longevity Spiritual Power, some traces of pill toxicity remained in her Black Water Spiritual Power.


    However, the result of the No Form Puppet¡¯s simulation was not absolute. After all, the chance of success with just one Foundation Building Pill was thirty percent. Luo Yixuan, as his disciple, was almost guaranteed to acquire one of these pills after three years. Maybe she could successfully advance to the next stage if luck was on her side.


    The master and disciple returned to Xiao Nanshan the following day.


    Thereafter, Chen Mobai, using the excuse of a breakthrough in his cultivation level, announced a closed-door cultivation and sealed off the mountaintop.


    Since he needed to immerse himself in the cultivation of his Qingyang Fire and the condensation of his Sword Demons, he did not dare to leave his puppet body behind in the Tianhe Realm, to avoid a dizzy spell at a crucial moment that could make him miss his cultivation goal.


    Before he sequestered himself, he had already informed the sect leader and Chu Zuoshu. Unless it concerned the survival of the sect, no one was likely to disturb him.


    After returning to his sect,


    To avoid being nagged by Hua Zijing, Chen Mobai chose not to make an appearance in the student union. Instead, he quietly slipped into the Treasure Trove. In a cave, where the strength of the Fire Vein¡¯s spiritual energy was nearly Rank-4, he focused wholeheartedly on his cultivation. Using the Pure Green Art and Spirit Stones, he enhanced his Qingyang Fire Seed which was almost perfect.


    With the powerful Fire Vein Core of spiritual energy close to Rank-5, backed by an Original Mine Spirit Stone, he had acquired from the Lonely Spirit Ridge. In just one short month, he managed to fuse two ¡°Qingyang Fire Seeds¡± and successfully cultivate his highly-desired ¡°¡±Qingyang Fire.¡±¡±


    Looking at the Pure Green Fire, about the size of his palm, and then at the Original Mine Spirit Stone beside him, which had nearly half of its spiritual energy depleting, Chen Mobai felt a twinge of distress.


    This Qingyang fire had consumed the equivalent of over a hundred intermediate-grade Spirit Stones.


    If Xie Yuntian knew this method could quickly enhance Qingyang Fire, he would part with a thousand Spirit Stones, let alone a hundred.


    But, this required cultivation of the ¡°Pure Green Art¡±.


    This secret technique, from the Talent Tree of the Eternal Teaching, is used specifically to enhance the ¡°¡±Qingyang Fire.¡±¡±


    Xie Yuntian had collected four Qingyang Fire Seeds over the years but could only just manage to fuse them together by relying on his own powerful cultivation level and Divine Sense. He still couldn¡¯t control it as easily as he wanted.


    That¡¯s why, despite having cultivated the Sword Light and Qingyang Fire, and having enough Green Wood Evil, he still hadn¡¯t condensed the first ¡°¡±Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡±¡±.


    Even the younger generation from the sect managed to catch up with him.


    Chen Mobai injected the Qingyang Fire in his palm into the cave wall next to him. Soon, the extremely hard rock and the Red Iron Mine inside it were both melted into magma and molten iron. They flowed down the wall, forming a spectacle that resembled a crimson waterfall.


    In terms of temperature alone, this Qingyang Fire could boil stone and incinerate iron.


    If it is fed with Green Wood Evil and upgraded to Green Flames Sword Slaughter, its power would be unimaginable.


    By then, he would be invincible under the Gold Core stage.


    With that excited thought in mind, Chen Mobai took out five Jade Vials he had exchanged from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion from his storage bag.


    He opened one of them. As he peered inside, he saw strands of dark green gas rotating within the vial but not escaping.


    This happened because the air and spiritual energy in the vial was denser than the outside, causing the phenomenon.


    Chen Mobai slightly tilted the mouth of the vial towards the Qingyang Fire in his palm. When the first wisp of dark green gas trickled out, he quickly pulled it back.


    Suddenly, he felt the already hot Qingyang Fire surge up like oil being poured on fire as soon as the Green Wood Evil was dropped in. In an instant, it shot a flame high into the air. The cave ceiling above Chen Mobai¡¯s head was instantly melted, forming a pit.


    The falling magma was blocked by the already deployed ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±. This Dance Tool Daoist Academy material was inherently resistant to lava currents, making it perfect for this situation.


    At this point, Chen Mobai was fully engrossed in condensing his Sword Demons.


    In his left palm was the Qingyang Fire, and in his right hand was a jade vial with Green Wood Evil. His eyes were half-closed as his Pure Yang Spiritual Power began to circulate along the path of the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    Under the control of the Red Flame Sword Jue, the Qingyang Fire quickly transformed into Purple Fire Sword Light under the manipulation of the Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    However, this Purple Fire Sword Light, in comparison to the previous one, had an additional streak of deep, dark green in the middle.


    In the Sea of Knowledge at Chen Mobai¡¯s Purple Mansion, his Divine Sense, which was visualising a jade green phoenix tree, left his body and merged into the Purple Fire Sword Light.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In an instant, he felt as if he had plunged into a sea of lava.


    If it was him from before, he would have been in unbearable pain by now.


    Theoretically, a robust Divine Sense that only a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator has, is required to withstand the scorching heat of Qingyang Fire.


    But ever since Chen Mobai used the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror for his Foundation Establishment and acquired Fire Spirit Body, his rapport with flame has been extraordinary.


    When his Divine Sense fell on the Qingyang Fire, he did not feel any pain or heat. On the contrary, it felt as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring; warm and weightless.

 Chapter 456 - Chapter 456: Chapter 225 Green Flames Sword Slaughter_2

    Chapter 456: Chapter 225 Green Flames Sword Slaughter_2


    A sense of comfort and satisfaction nearly intoxicated him.


    Fortunately, he remembered that he was currently refining the Green Flames Sword Slaughter and quickly sobered up.


    After his Divine Sense merged with the Green-sun Fire, he capitalized on his Fire Spirit Body¡¯s talents to effortlessly devour and refine the deep green evil Qi at the center of the Purple Fire Sword Light.


    After this step, the originally rich purple flame sword light dimmed somewhat.


    It was as if the purple hue had been dyed green, beginning to turn gray.


    Then, turning his right hand upside down, Chen Mobai let another stream of Green Wood Evil fall.


    The Purple Fire Sword Light, nourished by the evil Qi, blazed even more fiercely.


    But under Chen Mobai¡¯s mental manipulation, it didn¡¯t shoot into the sky as before, but instead burned and fluctuated gently, refining and devouring one strand after another of the Green Wood Evil that was poured out from the vial.


    According to the standards of the Immortal Sect, one stream of evil Qi is divided into ten parts, one part into ten strands, and one strand into ten strands.


    Although Chen Mobai possessed a Fire Spirit Body and could perfectly control Green-sun Fire with his divine sense, he still spent half a month integrating all the Green wood Evil in the jade vial into the sword light.


    A beam of cinnabar green light extended from the Green-sun Fire in his palm, like the dawn breaking through the dark when the sun first rises, bringing endless warmth and heat.


    However, Chen Mobai had a feeling that if this cinnabar green beam touched him, his life force would be extinguished instantly, turning him into ash.


    This is the ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡±!


    Chen Mobai pulled two cracked green scales from his storage bag.


    These were fallen from the Green Scale Arm Guard. Because they were damaged and could not be collected, he kept them and did not throw them away. Today, he could test the power of the Sword Slaughter on them.


    Since it came from a Rank-2 water-attribute demonic beast, the scales contain pure water spirit Qi, perfect for resisting fire-attribute spells and magic artifacts.


    Though they¡¯re cracked now, their material is still Rank-2.


    Chen Mobai removed the Green Flames Sword Slaughter from the Green-sun Fire and threw a cracked green scale into the Green-sun Fire.


    The next thing he saw was that the originally shiny, smooth, water-lustrous scale turned scorched and cracked within five seconds, and finally turned into carbide and collapsed into ash, scattered on the ground.


    After the first experiment, Chen Mobai threw another scale onto the Sword Sha. But the moment it made contact, it instantly vaporized into a puff of smoke.


    The difference in power was just too immense.


    Chen Mobai repressed the excitement in his heart, using his Divine Sense to roll that condensed Green Flames Sword Slaughter into a thumb-sized ¡°Sword Pill¡±, and then swallowed it.


    It was because he was a Fire Spirit Body. If it were Xie Yuntian, he would need to use many medicinal herbs to refine the Sword Slaughter even after forming the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, daring then to condense it into a Sword Pill and swallow it into the Qi Sea in his Dantian.


    After refining the first Sword Slaughter, Chen Mobai looked at the Green-sun Fire and found that it had shrunk a bit.


    But according to his estimates, it could form five Green Flames Sword Slaughters, which perfectly matched the quantity of Green Wood evil qi. This was why he didn¡¯t feed all the raw Spirit Stones to the Green-sun Fire.


    He still had one more to spare.


    The limit of his Divine Sense was to control four Sword Slaughters.


    But his Sea of Knowledge in the Purple Palace had already been opened due to the Green Heart Spirit. Under the continuous supply of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, it would only take half a year to grow another fruit.


    After refining the remaining three Sword Slaughters into Sword Pills and swallowing them, Chen Mobai felt a warm sensation in his stomach, as if he was carrying four little heaters.


    He couldn¡¯t help but touch it, but then he felt the move was so amusing and he couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    However, this laughter was more because of his joy in having finally created the ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡±.


    Most of the Core Formation Sword Cultivators in the Immortal Sect only condense a Sword Slaughter as a token gesture.


    Unlike him, he not only possessed a heavenly spiritual object like Green-sun Fire but also had the support of the Sect to extract and refine the evil Qi. He just needed to control the Sword Technique and condense the Spiritual Fire and Evil Qi into the Sword Light, and he could easily succeed.


    He also had the Fire Spirit Body, the physique most suitable for fire-attribute Sword Techniques, saving him from the complicated steps of using medicinal herbs to refine the Sword Slaughter.


    Chen Mobai now was confident that even if he faced Xiahou Weihuan or Sima Xingyu from the Pure Yang Academy, he could still win the battle.


    [So what if you¡¯ve achieved Foundation Establishment Perfection? Wait for me!]


    Chen Mobai was full of confidence.


    His Sword Sha technique was a Rank-3 method. In a fair battle, he was now even eager to fight with Lan Haitian, to test if the so-called invincibility of Foundation Establishment was all hype.


    Unfortunately, Lan Haitian had gone into seclusion to reach his Core Formation and couldn¡¯t spar with him in Little Red Sky anymore.


    A real shame!


    Just as Chen Mobai was preparing to exit seclusion to visit the student council that he had missed for so long, he noticed a bunch of notifications on his newly turned on phone.


    In particular, he had more than 99 unread messages in the group chat of the Metaphysical Class.


    Upon seeing them, Chen Mobai discovered quite a few pieces of good news.


    Among them, the successful Foundation Establishment of Yunyang Bing made him the happiest.


    In addition to him, Gong Ranran and Li Zimo also came out of seclusion in high spirits.


    Fan Yuanpu and Jin Shuwei seemed to be slightly stuck at the Divine Sense breakthrough, but they also announced in the group that they were sure to complete the Foundation Establishment by the end of the year.


    With this development, more than half of the students in the Metaphysical Class have reached the average line of the Daoist Academy.


    But among them, Chen Mobai¡¯s good friend Wang Xingyu remained silent.


    Apparently, he hadn¡¯t reached the end yet, but since he had already comprehended the critical Spell, even if he didn¡¯t succeed this year, he would certainly reach it before graduation.


    After Chen Mobai finished reading, he also made an appearance in the group and made a few comments.


    [Dear brothers and sisters, hold off on using your Device Pieces. Let me take a look for you first. You can also check the Map of Treasures in the Student Council in my name for free.]


    Upon seeing his message, those like Yunyang Bing who had succeeded in Foundation Establishment all gave a thumbs up.


    Everyone agreed to a meeting at the end of the year in the Treasure Trove to open their Device Nurturing Spheres.


    Chen Mobai agreed to wait for them at the Student Council at that time.


    Finally, Ming Yuhua showed up.


    He lamented that he had to spend all his time making a large Magic Artifact, so busy that he didn¡¯t even have time to cultivate. He missed the brothers and sisters in the group terribly and wished he could teleport right over to spend quality time with them.


    Chen Mobai immediately teased him, saying that his disciple had brewed several types of excellent wine and they were just waiting for Ming Yuhua to come and unseal them.


    Ming Yuhua replied with a drooling emoji¡­


    As everyone was joking and laughing in the group chat, Lan Yufan and Lu Zixuan, who had recently broken up, remained silent, and no one brought them into the conversation.


    After chatting for a while, Chen Mobai left the group and proceeded to check his other unread messages.


    After replying to all his friends and relatives¡¯ messages,


    He saw a surprising one,


    Meng Huang had replied to his message from a month and half ago: [I¡¯m here!]


    Her response was quite delayed. Chen Mobai had asked her if she was there two months ago.


    Feeling a bit ignored, Chen Mobai did not reply to her again, and just pretended not to see it.


    After joking around with Yan Bingxuan the Green Maiden and the others for a while, he finally emerged from seclusion.


    First, he made a trip back to the student council. Under the deadly gaze of Hua Zijing, he dealt with all the piled-up official documents, and only three days later did he finish everything.


    After that, Chen Mobai visited his teacher Che Yucheng. The teacher and student spent the afternoon drinking tea and confirmed the team list for the end of the year trip to the Jumang Daoist Institute.

    Last of all, Chen Mobai made a phone call to his mother asking her to take a mortgage out on the Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory from the bank and withdraw five million Good Deed Points.


    Naturally, this money was to be used to purchase the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute¡¯s elixirs.


    After handling all the affairs on the Immortal¡¯s side, Chen Mobai returned to Tianhe Realm full of confidence.


    As soon as he returned, the first thing he heard was some great news.


    Yu Lian had successfully reached Foundation Establishment.

 Chapter 457 - Chapter 457: Chapter 326: Guidance_1

    Chapter 457: Chapter 326: Guidance_1


    A stream of silver spiritual light descended from the sky, landing at the foot of Xiao Nanshan. It was Yu Lian.


    Out of respect, he didn¡¯t fly directly to the peak.


    Chen Mobai immediately signaled to Luo Yixuan standing beside him to bring Yu up.


    The aura around Yu Lian was no longer as deep as before, now it resembled a sharp sword, its chill shimmering freely after being freshly sharpened.


    However, this was because he had just successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage and couldn¡¯t fully control his drastically increased spiritual power.


    ¡°Greetings, Uncle Master Chen.¡±


    Upon arrival, Yu Lian bowed towards Chen Mobai.


    ¡°According to the sect rules, in the future we should address each other as brothers.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai felt awkward about the Tianhe Realm¡¯s custom of ranking based on cultivation level, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Therefore, he changed addressing Yu Lian to junior brother. The latter hesitated for a moment, then immediately addressed him as senior brother.


    ¡°I have already established my foundation, what spiritual object should I retrieve for Senior Brother from the Divine Tree Secret Realm?¡±


    ¡°Take this talisman, when you reach the Magic Treasure Tree, use it. Then you will obtain a fruit, bring this fruit back for me and I will pay you a hefty amount of spiritual stones.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t beat about the bush. During their previous venture into the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Zhou Wangshen had already made transactions with people such as Yan Jinye and Yuan Chiye beforehand, so he just followed their example. Even if it was known by the Sect Leader and the two elders, they wouldn¡¯t mind.


    ¡°I owe my successful foundation establishment to Senior Brother Chen¡¯s guidance. I will bring you the fruit and I do not need extra spirit stones.¡±


    Yu Lian, being a man clear about gratitude and grudges, accepted the Wood Spiritual Talisman and decisively made a promise.


    ¡°The Divine Tree Secret Realm is a benefit granted by the sect to each newly established Foundation Disciple. Each of the fruits it bears are rare treasures. If you do not accept the spirit stone, I would feel indebted.¡±


    Chen Mobai hasn¡¯t fully adjusted his perspective to align with the Tianhe Realm, for the cultivators here, the most precious entities are cultivation techniques and knowledge.


    His guidance brought Yu Lian to successful foundation establishment¡ªan enormous favor.


    This type of chance encounter could not be measured with spirit stones. In Yu Lian¡¯s heart, the importance of Chen Mobai was quickly surpassing his official master Shan Hongyi.


    ¡°I cultivate the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture and also follow the Sword Cultivation path. Senior Brother Chen is the number one sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, could you possibly provide me with some guidance on Sword Dao.¡±


    Yu Lian refused to accept spirit stones, yet respectably lowered his head and asked Chen Mobai for guidance in Sword Dao.


    Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan lifted her head and looked at the seemingly aloof Yu Lian, feeling that she had underestimated him before. Unexpectedly, just like her, he dared to put his pride aside at a crucial moment.


    Ever since Mu Hanxiong was killed at Rolling Thunder Mountain, the title of the top sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect had been attributed to Chen Mobai.


    However, at that time, there were still differences among the sect¡¯s disciples as Xie Yuntian, a well-established sword cultivator, was still around, many believed that the sword training department head at the late Foundation Establishment stage was a tad stronger.


    But during Chen Mobai¡¯s ongoing seclusion for the consolidation of sword demons, news started gradually trickling in about his evenly-matched duel with Ji Dingjin at the location of the Rock Country Spirit Stone Mine, where many cultivators from both Yanxiao and Rock Country nations had been present as witnesses. Although Mountain Shaker Peak wanted to suppress the news, they couldn¡¯t suppress the voices of those loose cultivators who were caught in the crossfire.


    When this news spread, the title of the top sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect became undisputed.


    Therefore, the current goal of all disciples who were practicing sword techniques and sword secrets within the Divine Wood Sect was to be accepted into Xiao Nanshan¡¯s tutelage and receive guidance from Chen Mobai.


    Although Yu Lian had established his foundation, he was extremely self-aware. His aptitude in Sword Dao was decent, but when compared to the prodigious Sword Cultivation genius standing before him, he felt utterly average.


    At the very least, Yu Lian was only at the second stage of Sword Dao at the moment.


    Whereas Chen Mobai, during the Qi Cultivation stage, was already at the third stage of Sword Dao.


    Currently, in the early Foundation Establishment stage, he had already practiced and manifested his sword light, making him unparalleled within his realm.


    Additionally, according to Spirit Treasure Pavilion, he had exchanged his Green Wood Evil, seeming to be climbing towards the fifth stage of Sword Dao: the condensation of Sword Demons!


    If the Sword Demons were to solidify, probably no Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the entire Eastern Wilderness would dare show their face before him.


    Because regardless of who it is, even if it were Ji Dingjin who possessed a forged body, they would be defeated in a single sword strike against the Sword Demons, unless a rank-3 defensive magic weapon was used.


    Yu Lian, with the status of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, asking for guidance from Chen Mobai, who was on the same Cultivation Realm as him, was extremely rare in the Eastern Wilderness.

    Thereby, Luo Yixuan¡¯s opinion of him significantly improved. This person was not as arrogant as he seemed, and his scheming mind was no less than her own.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, show me the Sword Scripture you cultivated, I¡¯ll see if I can give you some guidance.¡±


    With his Immortal Sect¡¯s mindset, Chen Mobai believed that knowledge was meant to be shared, imparting knowledge was a precious achievement. Therefore, when Yu Lian asked for guidance, after some thought, he agreed.


    Of course, unbeknownst to others, he had once again activated the Computational Puppet¡¯s simulation feature, using Yu Lian¡¯s data template to simulate the cultivation of the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture.


    Soon, when Yu Lian held a wooden sword, and performed the entirety of his Sword Training to become Gang and Sword Gang Transforming Qi, Chen Mobai had already simulated the subsequent aura of the Silver Sky Sword Rainbow.

 Chapter 458 - Chapter 458: Chapter 326 Guidance _2

    Chapter 458: Chapter 326 Guidance _2


    ¡°Indeed, your foundation in the Sword Dao is strong. Clearly, you¡¯ve practiced extensively.¡±


    ¡°However, if you aspire to reach the Rainbow Sword Realm, you need to comprehend more about nature¡¯s spiritual energy. After all, the so-called Sword Qi Long Rainbow is about using the strength of one-third sword qi to stimulate seven-tenths of nature¡¯s spiritual energy. Thus, your opponent isn¡¯t just battling with your sword qi, but against the universe itself.¡±


    ¡°My suggestion is to prioritize stability after your Foundation Establishment. Don¡¯t use Spirit Stones to enhance your spiritual power anymore, but use cultivation techniques to naturally absorb and cultivate nature¡¯s spiritual energy. Once you¡¯ve grasped the realm of the Rainbow Sword Qi, start thinking about raising your cultivation level.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he motioned for Yu Lian to use the Silvery Sky Sword Qi.


    ¡°Yes, elder brother.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Yu Lian immediately raised his sword-holding right hand and exercised his cultivation techniques to circulate the sword qi on the sword blade.


    The sword qi shone with a silvery light, reminiscent of snow-capped mountains, like a Milky Way Waterfall, giving a sense of purity, yet coldness.


    ¡°I¡¯ll use my Divine Sense to enter your body and temporarily control your spiritual power and sword qi, so you can experience the realm of the Rainbow Sword Qi. Don¡¯t get nervous, just relax.¡±


    When Chen Mobai mentioned this, Luo Yixuan, who was standing by, was completely flabbergasted.


    Generally, this is a privilege only core direct disciples enjoy. It couldn¡¯t be that her master was about to take another disciple, if so, wouldn¡¯t her position as the youngest one be lost?


    While she was lost in her wild thoughts, a stunningly brilliant silvery light burst forth from the wooden sword held by Yu Lian. As it was a silver meteor flying towards the sky, bearing a brilliant tail, it ascended from the peak of Xiao Nanshan and painted a beautiful arc under the clear sky.


    Zhuo Ming, who was tending to the Spirit Field at the foot of the mountain, saw this scene and thought something had happened. She immediately dropped her hoe and headed for the mountain peak.


    Such a beautiful Sword Rainbow!


    The moment Luo Yixuan saw the Silvery Sky Sword Rainbow, she was dazzled and mesmerized.


    This was more beautiful than all the fireworks she had ever seen. A phrase popped into her mind: trees ablaze and flowers of molten silver.


    ¡°Thank you, Elder Brother, for your guidance. If you don¡¯t mind, I am willing to recognize you as my mentor.¡±


    After Chen Mobai lifted his sword finger from Yu Lian¡¯s wrist, the latter immediately showed his gratitude with a deep bow.


    ¡°You have already sworn allegiance to Elder Brother Shan. Besides, given your talent, you¡¯ll be able to comprehend sword rainbow sooner or later.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head. Although the rules of Divine Wood Sect stated that individuals of the same generation could call each other ¡®elder brother¡¯, he still felt that accepting Yu Lian as his disciple was a bit too much.


    ¡°If you have any questions about Sword Dao in the future, feel free to send a message to me. As long as I¡¯ve finished my cultivation regimen and have some spare time, I¡¯ll do my best to answer. However, keep in mind that my own cultivation level is limited, and there might be some questions I can¡¯t answer.¡±


    ¡°You are truly too modest, Elder Brother.¡±


    Yu Lian responded with heartfelt sincerity then asked some questions that he had amassed while practicing the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture.


    Zhuo Ming arrived at this point. She saw Chen Mobai and Yu Lian deep in conversation, and was confused. Luo Yixuan immediately beckoned her sister to come over and explained the situation.


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming looked on with envy.


    ¡°Amongst us, Yu Lian was the strongest from the beginning. It seems that the first to establish the foundation after our master was bound to be him.¡±


    Hearing this, Luo Yixuan felt a minor prick of dissatisfaction. She believed that if she had sworn allegiance to Chen Mobai when she first met him in the Southstream Market, her achievements might not necessarily be worse than Yu Lian¡¯s.


    ¡°Elder Brother Chen, I will take my leave now.¡±


    In the span of two cups of tea, what Yu Lian had learned from Chen Mobai far exceeded what he had gained from seven years under the mentorship of Shan Hongyi.


    After all, Shan Hongyi wasn¡¯t a Sword Cultivator nor did he practice the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture. Unlike Chen Mobai who knew Yu Lian¡¯s body data and technique more clearly than Yu Lian himself.


    ¡°If my guess is correct, Yu Lian should be able to get a Tree Fruit using the Wood Spiritual Talisman. Even so, he will still lack one. It seems I have to invest more in the other two disciples. However, it would be best if they took the initiative to ask me for help.¡±


    After sending away Yu Lian, while contemplating these matters, Chen Mobai waved at Luo Yixuan, who promptly came over with Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Elder Brother, you called me.¡±


    ¡°What is the situation with the other two Junior Brothers who exchanged for Foundation Building Pills?¡±


    ¡°There is no news yet. They do have backup, not like Brother Yu¡­Uncle Yu, who is desperate to take the Foundation Building Pill as soon as possible. They may delay it for a year or two.¡±


    As required by Chen Mobai, Luo Yixuan also kept an eye on Mu Yuan and Li Yixian, but there was no news of them taking the Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°By the end of the year at the latest, they should take it, but it would be better to take it now.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, uttering a sentence that puzzled Luo Yixuan.


    ¡°In three years, a batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms will mature. If they take the Foundation Building Pills now, even if they fail at Foundation Establishment, they can recover within three years and compete again for these orthodox Foundation Building Pills. If they delay for a year or two, a serious injury from failure of Foundation Establishment might prevent them from recovering completely and they might miss the opportunity to exchange for the second Foundation Building Pill.¡±


    At these words, Luo Yixuan and Zhuo Ming both nodded in enlightenment.


    Zhuo Ming had no thoughts about this as she had just broken through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, and if she could reach the eighth level in three years, she would be very happy. She had given up on Foundation Establishment long ago.


    Luo Yixuan, on the other hand, expressed full confidence that she would succeed in Foundation Establishment at her first attempt and bring honor to Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°Xuan, Ming, you two go to Divine Wood City in the next few days.¡±


    ¡°Master, is there anything we need to do?¡±


    The two disciples asked in unison.


    ¡°Ming, you go to South Mountain Shop to stack a batch of new wines, saying that I opened it personally. Xuan, you take the new wine to some of my friends. If they ask about my condition, just say that I broke through in my seclusion and very happily exited it.¡±


    Although Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan didn¡¯t understand Chen Mobai¡¯s intention, they both agreed obediently by nodding.


    Reward Virtue Hall.


    After Chu Zuoshu received the new wine delivered by Luo Yixuan and was about to open it, Fu Huakun and the Puppet Department head An Jinghui suddenly appeared.


    ¡°Rare guests. It just so happens that Junior Brother Chen sent a jar of new wine through his disciple today, let¡¯s taste it together.¡±


    The Puppet Department is under the control of the Penalty Evil Hall, and the previous Puppet Department leader was Elder Fu himself.


    An Jinghui is a direct disciple of Elder Fu, and he seldom has any association with Chu Zuoshu in daily life. Seeing him come in with Fu Huakun today, Chu Zuoshu was very curious.


    ¡°Brother Chu, I won¡¯t beat around the bush. My disciple would like to ask Brother Chen for some insights on Foundation Establishment, but I don¡¯t know Brother Chen well, so I have to ask Brother Fu to bridge the gap for us.¡±


    An Jinghui sat down with a bitter smile, proactively took up the jar of wine to pour for Chu Zuoshu, while Fu Huakun was silently drinking his wine. After he made the introduction, his task was accomplished.


    ¡°Oh, isn¡¯t there a collection of all kinds of sect Cultivation Techniques insights on Foundation Establishment in the Book Pavilion? Even though Brother Chen is a genius, everyone is different. It¡¯s more reliable to learn from various sources if you ask me.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t know about Yu Lian¡¯s Foundation Establishment. An Jinghui immediately explained the whole story.


    ¡°Brother Chen is the first person in our Divine Wood Sect to successfully reach Foundation Establishment stage by taking a demonic beast Foundation Building Pill. Yu Lian succeeded at Foundation Establishment at his first attempt with his guidance. There must be some key tips. But it would be too presumptuous to ask for these secrets directly, so I can only ask for your help, Brother Chu, who is the future Sect Leader.¡±


    When An Jinghui said this, he was very polite. But Chu Zuoshu was very calm, and wasn¡¯t confused by the flattery.


    ¡°I see, I can only help you to mention this to Brother Chen. After all, it involves secret techniques, and even if he doesn¡¯t agree, no one can force him, not even the two Elders.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Tianhe Realm strongly protects the transmission of Cultivation Techniques and knowledge. Sometimes, even if the sect is destroyed, it won¡¯t be passed down.


    So Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t dare to make promises. If the one asking for help wasn¡¯t the Puppet Department head, Elder Fu¡¯s disciple, and didn¡¯t have Fu Huakun¡¯s face to save, he might have directly refused.


    ¡°Exactly, Brother Chu, I am very grateful that you are willing to help. This really matters to my disciple¡¯s Foundation Establishment, so I have no choice but to be thick-skinned.¡±


    The same situation occurred in Shenmu Hall.


    Just after cleaning up the fishing gear with Cang Qi, Meng Hong, who was preparing to go fishing, found that his youngest disciple, Mu Yuan, surprisingly took the initiative to help him carry the fish basket. He couldn¡¯t help but marvel.

 Chapter 459 - Chapter 459: Chapter 327: Sects Reward_1

    Chapter 459: Chapter 327: Sect¡¯s Reward_1


    It has been less than a hundred years since the Divine Wood Sect split from the Five Elements Sect, and the Foundation Building Pills made from demonic beasts have not been made many times.


    Among the successes, only Chen Mobai and Yu Lian have succeeded.


    In this, everyone, even including Yu Lian himself, claimed that the success of the Foundation Establishment was all thanks to Brother Chen¡¯s guidance.


    Because of this, even though they have not taken the Foundation Building Pill yet, they dare not delay. Mu Yuan and Li Yixian, who are afraid that failure of Foundation Establishment will affect the sect competition in three years when Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom matures, have sought their master¡¯s help since they heard that Chen Mobai finished his cultivation.


    Among them, Mu Yuan, as the youngest disciple of the Sect Leader, was definitely the easiest. His hurdle was just in his heart.


    Once he stepped out, Meng Hong would naturally help him.


    Knowing the cause of the matter, Meng Hong originally planned to go to Xiao Nanshan in person.


    But at this moment, two magnificent Spiritual Lights opened up the protection array of Giant Tree Ridge, fell into the Shenmu Hall.


    Meng Hong and Cang Qi, who originally planned to go fishing, immediately dropped their belongings and hastily went to the front hall to meet the two elders.


    Shortly afterwards, Chu Zuoshu, who received the edict of the Sect Leader, also hurried over.


    Chen Mobai on Xiao Nanshan naturally also noticed that the two Core Formation elders of the sect had returned. After all, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue did not hide their Qi, perhaps they did it on purpose.


    [It should be because they had a big victory on the frontline, so they showed off like this.]


    Chen Mobai speculated in his heart and felt that it was very likely to be the case.


    After all, according to what Yue Zutao said before, Ji Zhenshi was almost beaten to death and only survived with the help of the two elders from Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace.


    Everyone understood the truth of having firewood as long as the green hills stand, let alone Ji Zhenshi, a Core Formation elder.


    At the last moment, even if Mountain Shaker Peak was destroyed, he would probably choose to save his own life.


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t need to guess anymore, because soon after, the Message Talisman of the Divine Wood Sect flew to him.


    The two elders came back victorious, and the sect gained two Spirit Stone Mines and a pure iron mine in Rock Country, as well as a cave that could produce Evil Qi.


    With this, the war between Divine Wood Sect and Mountain Shaker Peak can be said to have come to an end.


    Next is the awarding of merits.


    However, this matter has long been decided, after all, the size of merit on the battlefield is the clearest.


    Chen Mobai killed three Foundation Establishment cultivators from Rock Country. One was the pride of Mountain Shaker Peak, and the other was the famous Mu Hanxiong. In addition, there was the traitor Zheng Wulyu, making him undisputedly the one who killed the most enemies.


    However, Chen Mobai could only be ranked fourth in the merit list.


    The first and second places went to Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue. Without their suppression of Core Formation elders like Ji Zhenshi, no matter how many Foundation Establishment cultivators Chen Mobai killed, it would be useless.


    The third place went to Chu Zuoshu.


    After all, he was the leading general. Although he couldn¡¯t hold Rolling Thunder Mountain in the end, it was not his fault as the opponent had used the Bead that Breaks Meridians.


    Moreover, from the beginning when he defended Rolling Thunder Mountain against Ji Dingjin¡¯s army to the encirclement after the arrival of reinforcements, his series of strategies and decisions were commendable, and most of them were recognized as deserving of third place.


    But there were also some who disagreed.


    During the war, the Divine Wood Sect was united, but after the victory, the internal factions began to stir. But they all received Meng Hong¡¯s attention and wouldn¡¯t jump out at this time.


    By now, many people had tasted the flavor. This war between the two sects might have been started just to get Chu Zuoshu to rightfully sit in the Sect Leader position.


    Chen Mobai being ranked fourth was undisputed.


    After all, he killed the most.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai is now Chu Zuoshu¡¯s direct disciple. When the latter asked Reward Virtue Hall to reward the Foundation Establishment cultivators who fought this time, he put Chen Mobai in the first place.


    Before the two elders returned, no matter if it was Meng Hong or Chu Zuoshu, they could only give each of the outgoing Foundation Establishment cultivators 1000 contribution points as a basic reward. Although most of the big chunks were practically determined, a reward of nearly several hundred thousand Spirit Stones still needed the elders to nod their heads.


    Now the rewards could finally be distributed.


    Chen Mobai received ten thousand sect contribution points, ten thousand Spirit Stones, five Rank-2 pills which can enhance the Spiritual Power of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and a high-end Rank-2 Defensive Magic Artifact as well as a Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talisman personally crafted by Elder Zhou.


    If converted into Spirit Stones, it would be close to thirty thousand in number.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Among the whole sect, only Chu Zuoshu received more. But as the Sect Leader Elect, the two elders did not grant him any more Dan or Magic Artifacts, and directly recorded a hundred thousand sect contribution points for him.


    There is an unnoticeable rule in the Divine Wood Sect that if you want to take over as the head of the three main halls or Sect Leader, you need to make a hundred thousand contributions to the sect.


    Chu Zuoshu¡¯s hard work for over a hundred years has contributed far more than a hundred thousand to the sect, but the two elders still awarded this amount of contribution points when they awarded merits. Basically, it was a clear signal to the rest of the Divine Wood Sect that he is the next Sect Leader.


    However, Chen Mobai knew that Chu Zuoshu actually only received thirty thousand sect contribution points, ten thousand was just what was written on the surface. The latter mentioned this matter to him when he spoke of Li Yixian.


    After Chen Mobai, the fifth place went to the Minister of Sword Training, Xie Yuntian. He received sixteen Green Wood Evil, equivalent to sixteen thousand sect contribution points.

 Chapter 460 - Chapter 460: Chapter 327 Sects Reward_2

    Chapter 460: Chapter 327 Sect¡¯s Reward_2


    The Sect was satisfied with this outcome, and Xie Yuntian was also satisfied himself.


    Weng Chuanyou ranked sixth, safely returning to the Giant Tree Ridge, earning ten thousand contribution points from the Sect and three Rank-2 medicinal pills.


    After the top six, the rewards given by the Sect dropped a notch.


    It was basically a few thousand contribution points or Spirit Stones, and only a single bottle of medicine.


    However, every Foundation Establishment cultivator was quite content. After all, including the previous one thousand contribution points, it was equivalent to several years of benefits in the Sect.


    They could even use these contribution points to exchange for a good set of Magic Artifacts in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion within the Sect.


    But Chen Mobai found that most of them spent their Spirit Stones on purchasing medicinal pills.


    Because the two elder ancestors and other major Sects in the Eastern Wilderness signed a contract, it guaranteed that, at the very least, there would be no wars for another twenty years.


    Therefore, the cultivators¡¯ desire to purchase Magic Artifacts dropped significantly, and many people even tried to get rid of the spoils of war in their hands.


    After receiving the Message Talisman, Chen Mobai arrived in the Divine Wood City, and received his own rewards at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    The Magic Artifact was an upper-grade Rank-2 Divine Wood Shield, which complemented his Flying Sparrow Hairpin, and both were refined using Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Tree.


    Purely due to the good quality of the material, a Rank-3 Spirit Wood was used to refine a Rank-2 Defensive Magic Weapon. If a refiner from the Immortal Sect did this, no one would ask him to refine another one ever again.


    However, Chen Mobai was quite thrilled. Even though he already had the Six Sun Divine Fire Mirror, this Rank-3 Artifact would require too much Spiritual Power to activate each time.


    A higher-grade Rank-2 Defensive Magic Weapon would be virtually impenetrable at the Foundation Establishment Realm, which was appropriate for his early stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation.


    As for the five bottles of Rank-2 medicinal pills, they were called ¡°Yuan Enhancement Pills,¡± which was one of the best pills to enhance spiritual power at the Foundation Establishment Realm. To exchange for a bottle of this from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion would require 280 Sect¡¯s contribution points.


    Last was the Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talisman refined by Elder Zhou.


    This could save lives, as it was known to be able to resist any Rank-2 spell below the Gold Core level.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, please sign here.¡±


    The one on duty inside the Spirit Treasure Pavilion was still Chen Zhenwu. After he gave Chen Mobai the Sect¡¯s rewards, he pulled out a receipt for him to sign.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother.¡±


    After putting everything into his storage bag, Chen Mobai checked his Sect¡¯s account, satisfied, he then bid farewell and left.


    However, at the entrance, he ran into another person he knew.


    It was Shan Hongyi.


    ¡°Senior Brother Shan, are you here to collect your reward too?¡±


    Chen Mobai saw him, greeted him, but the latter just frowned and nodded slightly in response, then walked right past him, going upstairs to collect his items with Chen Zhenwu.


    Chen Mobai sensed dissatisfaction in Shan Hongyi¡¯s eyes when he looked at him, but he knew he was restraining himself. Possibly because he was now a direct disciple of Chu Zuoshu, with astonishing fighting prowess, he did not directly conflict with him.


    [Is it because of Yu Lian?]


    Chen Mobai quickly thought of the key point. After all, Yu Lian was formally a disciple of Shan Hongyi. Although his own guidance led him to successfully establish his foundation, it also spread a rumor in the Sect that Shan Hongyi was poor at teaching.


    This was something Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t explain well, so he figured when he had the chance, he would need to find a way to resolve it, to avoid any grudges in the future.


    Carrying his thoughts, Chen Mobai slowly left the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    He found the entrance was filled with various stalls, very similar to when he was at the Rolling Thunder Mountain Fang Market. The price of Magic Artifacts and Spirit Talismans had completely fallen compared to before, and all kinds of medicinal pills were extremely popular.


    Involuntarily, Chen Mobai thought of the five bottles of Yuan Enhancement Pills in his storage bag. Even though he had the Flame Lighting Technique, if he could avoid consuming the medicinal pills from Tianhe Realm, he would certainly do so. He thought it would be better to find a way to get rid of these pills.


    ¡°Senior Brother Shan, all the medicinal pills suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion have already been exchanged. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll have to try your luck elsewhere in the marketplace.¡±


    At this moment, Shan Hongyi, who had just received his rewards, was sent out by Chen Zhenwu with a look of helpless wry smile.


    Shan Hongyi could only sigh, and when he turned to leave and saw Chen Mobai, he walked away expressionless.


    Chen Zhenwu pretended as if he hadn¡¯t seen it.


    Chen Mobai, however, fell into contemplation.


    ¡°Xuan, I want you to take this and five bottles of pills to visit Elder Brother Shan Hongyi.¡±


    Having returned to his courtyard in Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai personally wrote a letter and handed five Yuan Enhancement Pills to Luo Yixuan. Although she had no idea what the matter was about, she nodded and went off.


    [I heard that Elder Brother is purchasing pills to enhance Cultivation Level. By chance, I have five bottles that I received from the sect. I would like to sell them to Elder Brother at the original price in exchange for Spirit Stones, is it acceptable?]


    After reading the letter, a frown that had been on Shan Hongyi¡¯s face turned into a smile.


    He indicated for Luo Yixuan to sit down, then picked up the five bottles of yuan Enhancement Pills to look at them, then gave a barely noticeable nod.


    ¡°Please help me thank Brother Chen. Here are the Spirit Stones for the purchase of the Yuan Enhancement Pills.¡±


    Luo Yixuan immediately took the fourteen intermediate-grade Spirit Stones handed over by Shan Hongyi, exchanged a few more words, and then excused herself and left.


    After hearing Luo Yixuan¡¯s report, Chen Mobai nodded in approval.


    At present, the market price of pills had inflated by two to three percent, so selling the Yuan Enhancement Pills that he did not need to Shan Hongyi at the original price was a gesture of goodwill. Clearly, Shan Hongyi was quite pleased with Chen Mobai¡¯s gesture.


    This eased the slight unease he had been feeling.


    ¡°Master¡¯s way of doing things is truly ingenious. I have learned something.¡±


    At this moment Luo Yixuan, who had been standing to the side, experienced a moment of realization.


    This scene reminded Chen Mobai of his time with Che Yucheng. He had learned many life principles from his old master as well.


    ¡°The Sect Leader has invited me for a drink tonight. Please go and get two pots of new wine from Ming¡¯er.¡±


    Luo Yixuan took the order and left.


    Chen Mobai had an idea about why Meng Hong had invited him. Yesterday, Chu Zuoshu had already told him that the head of the Puppet Department had interceded for him. Chen Mobai had naturally agreed, as this was his intention to begin with, and it also allowed him to buy favor with his superior.


    Meng Hong sought him out today presumably about Mu Yuan.


    However, when Chen Mobai arrived at the Divine Wood Sect and sat at the wine table, he perceived something amiss.


    He could not quite pinpoint what was wrong, but he felt an indescribable pressure within the hall.


    ¡°I sought you today because I have a favor to ask.¡±


    Meng Hong opened a pot of second-rank Spiritual Wine that Chen Mobai had given him at the beginning of the year, he even poured the wine himself.


    ¡°The Sect Leader has been as gracious as a mountain to me. Whatever it is, just command it.¡±


    ¡°Mu Yuan is about to take the Foundation Building Pill soon, and I would like you to share your experience and tips.¡±


    ¡°Not a problem.¡±


    So it was this matter.


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he was about to relax, Meng Hong seemed to casually mention another matter.


    ¡°The Rank-3 Magic Artifact you used to deal with Mu Hanxiong on Rolling Thunder Mountain Battlefield was quite powerful.¡±


    Upon hearing this, a chill ran down Chen Mobai¡¯s spine.


    Since his background was very clear and he had never ventured beyond the Eastern Wilderness in his lifetime, mysteriously having a Rank-3 Artifact was a regrettable matter.


    Moreover, in the Eastern Wasteland, for thousands of years, it was well known which Core Formation Elder had a Rank-3 Magic Artifact.


    All the Divine Wood Sect had to do was to check, and they would know that the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror had never appeared in the recent history of the Eastern Wasteland.


    Although he was a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, if he did not explain this matter clearly, the upper echelons would definitely have doubts.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, when he used it, he already intended to use the reasoning he previously prepared and the foreshadowing that was laid down.


    ¡°I dare not deceive the Sect Leader, I obtained this Magic Artifact in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Hong was so surprised that he put down the wine cup in his hand.


    It was at this moment that Chen Mobai finally understood why he had been feeling a sense of oppression.


    Somebody within the Shenmu Hall, likely a Core Formation Elder, was eavesdropping on their conversation.

 Chapter 461 - Chapter 461: Chapter 328: The Legacy of the Eternal Life Sect_1

    Chapter 461: Chapter 328: The Legacy of the Eternal Life Sect_1


    ¡°If I remember correctly, you obtained the Qingyang Fire Seed in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, correct?¡±


    Meng Hong pondered for a moment before asking.


    ¡°Sect Leader, do you remember when I took ten steps in front of the Dao Tree and saw the ¡®Eternal Life Sword¡¯ in the broken void?¡±


    Meng Hong was, of course, deeply impressed by this event, and even when he reported it to the two ancestors, they were astounded.


    Subsequently, they opened the Secret Realm again under the condition of no disciples establishing a foundation, but neither the two ancestors nor Meng Hong could have such an opportunity in front of the Dao Tree.


    ¡°What does this have to do with it?¡±


    Meng Hong knew that Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t bring up unrelated matters, and faintly grasped something critical, so he asked directly.


    ¡°The reason I was able to make rapid progress in the Sword Dao Realm is because the ¡®Eternal Life Sword¡¯ was imprinted in my sea of consciousness.¡±


    ¡°After that, I often closed myself off to comprehend this astonishing Sword Dao, and finally, on a particular day, I had an epiphany and entered a mysterious state of divine enlightenment.¡±


    ¡°But when I woke up, I found myself not in Xiao Nanshan, but in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Hong¡¯s expression changed slightly: ¡°Are you sure?¡±


    ¡°Of course, I have a deep impression of the three Everlife Woods there. To verify, I went to the Magic Treasure Tree next to me, and it was then that I obtained the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai took out his Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and calmly handed it over to Meng Hong.


    ¡°The method of refining this magic artifact is completely different from ours here in the Eastern Wilderness, Sect Leader can have a look.¡±


    Meng Hong hesitated for a moment and casually took over the ancient bronze mirror in his hands. He carefully examined it up and down, finding that the lines and patterns were exquisite and the material was perfectly integrated. The refining technique was extremely sophisticated and ingenious, which was simply incomparable to those in the Eastern Wilderness.


    What shocked him most was the prohibition array applied to the magic artifact, which integrated perfectly.


    ¡°Three spells are added.¡±


    Typically, many magical artifacts could add one spell to them, and it¡¯s considered a high-quality item if it is valuable.


    A magic artifact with two additional spells could only be refined by Sheng Zhaoxi, the top artifact refiner in the Eastern Wilderness.


    There are only two artifacts with three additional spells that Sheng Zhaoxi has completed in his lifetime, and both are due to chance and coincidence.


    With that said, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue, who were behind the Shenmu Hall, no longer concealed themselves and came out directly.


    ¡°Greetings to the two ancestors.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought there was only one, but didn¡¯t expect both would be present. He and Meng Hong immediately paid their respects.


    ¡°Rise, may we appreciate this magic artifact?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing asked politely, and Chen Mobai naturally nodded.


    After Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue looked it over, they exchanged glances and reached a conclusion.


    ¡°The refining method of this magic artifact far exceeds the artifact refining heritage of the Eastern Wilderness. It might be the work of a Rank-5 Artifact Master. It could possibly be something left in the Secret Realm by the Church of Eternal Life or the Yuan Ancestor.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Yuan Ancestor?¡±


    After hearing the words of the two ancestors, Chen Mobai looked puzzled.


    ¡°Our Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Primordial Ancestor received part of the True Monarch Yuan¡¯s inheritance. When the Five Elements Sect was established he called himself a Yuan disciple. After I formed my core, I also went with the old ancestor to pay respects to True Monarch Yuan¡¯s ascendance card, so we should honor him as an ancestor.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing explained to Chen Mobai, but Fu Zongjue hadn¡¯t paid respects to True Monarch Yuan¡¯s ascendance card that was enshrined in the Five Elements Sect headquarters when he formed his core because the Primordial Ancestor had passed away and the Divine Wood Sect had separated from the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    Chen Mobai showed a look of sudden understanding. In that case, the ¡°Primordial Dao Fruit¡± is the inheritance of True Monarch Yuan.


    The cultivation technique left behind by an ascended immortal must be taken a good look in the future if there is a chance, and compared with the Immortal Sect¡¯s Divinity Transformation cultivation technique, to see which is superior and which is inferior.


    ¡°However, the reason why Yuan Ancestor was able to ascend is that he obtained some treasures left by the Church of Eternal Life. This Divine Tree Secret Realm is one of the places of inheritance of the Church of Eternal Life. Therefore, this magic artifact of yours might be left by the Church of Eternal Life, or it might be left by the Yuan Ancestor for his junior disciples.¡±


    While speaking, Zhou Shengqing returned the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror to Chen Mobai, who took it over smoothly. In his heart, he was wondering whether the lie he told would be exposed.


    ¡°Can you control entering and leaving the Divine Tree Secret Realm yourself?¡±


    Fu Zongjue suddenly asked, to which Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.


    ¡°Reporting to the two ancestors, I can only occasionally travel to the Divine Tree Secret Realm when I have a breakthrough in my realm. Afterward, I just have to undergo the so-called ¡®Eternal Life Questioning Road Test¡¯ in front of the Dao Tree to return to Xiao Nanshan.¡±


    Chen Mobai can use this to explain the possible sudden disappearance in the future, claiming that he went to the Divine Tree Secret Realm. After all, he indeed could go there.


    ¡°Were there any other gains besides this magic artifact?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Meng Hong asked this question, and Chen Mobai nodded. Then he spoke out the two secret techniques he got from the Talent Tree.


    ¡°Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue¡± and ¡°Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue¡±.


    These two secret techniques were excellent teachings for those who primarily practiced the Eternal Life Scripture, but for him, they were of little use. It was better to offer them up to reinforce the authenticity of his previous statements.


    Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Then, right in front of the three of them, he immediately sat down cross-legged. Approximately half an hour later, he opened his eyes, and a green lightning bolt flickered in his pupils.

 Chapter 462 - Chapter 462: Chapter 328: The Legacy of the Immortality Cult_2

    Chapter 462: Chapter 328: The Legacy of the Immortality Cult_2


    ¡°Indeed, our Divine Wood Sect¡¯s cultivation techniques originated from the Ascension Sect¡¯s legacy, but they are incomplete. If I could¡¯ve obtained the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue and Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue during Foundation Establishment, I might¡¯ve mastered the Sacred Tree Divine Light twenty years earlier!¡±


    Upon standing up, Zhou Shengqing opened his right hand. A stream of deep-green energy curled around his palm, morphing into the phantom of a lightning bolt.


    ¡°Congratulations, elder brother, on advancing your Longevity True Qi. You must be one step closer to Nascent Soul Formation.¡±


    Among those present, only Fu Zongjue was aware of Zhou Shengqing¡¯s realm. Seeing the deep-green energy in his palm, he was quite envious.


    ¡°After Meng Hong establishes his foundation, I will also leave the sect to seek my opportunity for Nascent Soul Formation. It all depends on my destiny in the last years of my life.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing sighed, and the nearby Meng Hong immediately respectfully bowed his head.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, Chen Guixian, you were probably recognized as an inheritor of the Ascension Sect when you met the standards of the Dao Tree during your first visit to the Divine Tree Secret Realm,¡±


    Having confirmed that Chen Mobai¡¯s magic artifacts and cultivation techniques all came from the Secret Realm, Zhou Shengqing had already inferred a ¡°very reasonable¡± answer.


    ¡°Our Divine Wood Sect is truly fortunate to have a genius like you join us. You should know that during our time, elder brother Zhou and I only managed to reach the ninth step of the Dao Tree. We couldn¡¯t pass the Ascension Dao questioning. Indeed, the tenth step is a major hurdle,¡±


    Fu Zongjue agreed with Zhou Shengqing¡¯s judgment. With both regret and relief, he nodded at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°After the two elder ancestors established their foundation, didn¡¯t you try testing again in front of the Dao Tree?¡±


    Chen Mobai voiced his doubt. The key to the Divine Tree Secret Realm lies in the Divine Wood Sect. If they wanted to enter, no one would stop them.


    ¡°We didn¡¯t hide this from you. After hearing about your Ascended Sword Stroke, we initiated it once.¡±


    ¡°But each realm has its own level of trials at the Dao Tree. The trials we Golden Core Cultivators face at the Ascertainment Dao page are terrifying. Although Meng Hong forcibly lasted till the final step by relying on his advanced foundation establishment realm, his age was too great. He was directly teleported out,¡±


    ¡°Regarding the Magic Treasure Tree and Talent Tree, our spiritual power marks have already been recorded in them, so there was no response.¡±


    Upon hearing Fu Zongjue¡¯s words, Chen Mobai secretly broke out into a cold sweat. It was fortunate that the rules of the Ascension Sect¡¯s inheritance site were meticulous towards those from the Tianhe Realm. Only he, who came from the Immortal Sect, could take advantage of the Divine Tree.


    ¡°The Five Elements Sect has another secret realm left by a Primordial Ancestor. It may also be related to the Ascension Sect. If you have the chance in the future, you can meditate and practice there.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing suddenly muttered a statement that made Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widen.


    ¡°Elder Ancestor, would that be effective?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no harm in trying. The Primordial Dao Fruit lies in that secret realm. If you can acquire this cultivation technique, I will give you ten million sect contribution points.¡±


    Upon hearing Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words, sweat trickled down Meng Hong¡¯s forehead. He carefully reminded, ¡°Elder Ancestor, the sect¡¯s storage doesn¡¯t have ten million spirit stones.¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter; we can owe it. Doesn¡¯t the sect already owe me several million contribution points? Owing me another ten million is no big deal.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words left Meng Hong with no other choice but to laugh along. Once one reaches Core Formation, the sect offers little help. Mostly, it¡¯s the individual with the Core Formation protecting the sect.


    Especially Zhou Shengqing, who is about to attain Perfect Core Formation and preparing for Nascent Soul Formation. Only the Void Mysterious Stone Mine and the thousand-year medicinal herbs can pique his interest.


    ¡°When the opportunity comes, I will give it a try.¡±


    Chen Mobai was now also curious about the Primordial Dao Fruit. After all, no Ascended Monks have ever emerged from the Immortal Sect. But in these ancient sects, there¡¯s talk of ascendance.


    The Ascension Sect is indeed very famous.


    He wants to know why the cultivators here can ascend after practicing to the very brink of perfection.


    ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s best if you also successfully form your Core. Then, we, along with disciple Mo, will go back to the Five Elements Sect.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words were as direct as always. It seems he was still resentful about the initial splitting of the family.


    ¡°Now it¡¯s time for Meng Hong¡¯s Foundation Building.¡±


    Fu Zongjue reminded him.


    ¡°The Spirit Void flower and Break Void Mushroom have been prepared for him. It¡¯s a pity that the Rank-4 Dragon Blood Pill was snatched by Ji Zhenshi. That old man took it himself and broke through to the late stage of Core Formation. Otherwise, there would be more confidence.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing said irritably. He had prepared two types of Gold Core Spiritual Material for Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation. He even auctioned off a Dragon Blood Pill in the Eastern Yi Territory, which could enhance the physique and vitality. Unfortunately, it was killed and snatched away by Ji Zhenshi in an unguarded moment.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai twitched his mouth slightly. He didn¡¯t know what the Dragon Blood Pill was, but the Spirit Void flower and Break Void Mushroom were the main ingredients of the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill. According to Zhou Shengqing¡¯s meaning, they were not to be made into pills, but to let Meng Hong swallow them raw.


    What a waste of resources.


    But he could only pretend he didn¡¯t hear. After all, even if these two types of spiritual medicine were given to him, he wouldn¡¯t be able to transform them into Immortal Gate¡¯s Gold Core Spiritual Material.


    ¡°You better cultivate diligently in the sect from now on.¡±


    At last, Fu Zongjue instructed Chen Mobai in a serious and heartfelt manner. In their view, his probability of Core Formation was much higher than that of Meng Hong and Chen Guixian.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    When responding, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.


    This meant that his words today had convinced the two old ancestors.


    When he left Shenmu Hall, Meng Hong saw him off and reminded him not to forget about Mu Yuan¡¯s matter.


    As this related to his Core Formation, Chen Mobai was naturally committed.


    The next day, he let Luo Yixuan go to Mu Yuan and Li Yixian. The two were waiting in Divine Wood City, and arrived at Chen Mobai¡¯s courtyard within half an hour.


    With Yu Lian¡¯s successful experience, Chen Mobai once again imparted his knowledge and solved their problems.


    Through the simulation of the formless puppet, Mu Yuan was able to succeed in Foundation Establishment at once, while Li Yixian failed. The gap between their Spiritual Roots was a bit large.


    Mu Yuan¡¯s Wood Spirit Root was surprisingly high at 57 points, while Li Yixian¡¯s was only the ordinary three attribute True Spirit Root. However, his puppets were powerful, so he had been ranking in the top three in the Sect¡¯s big competitions these years.


    For this, Chen Mobai could only do his best to help, detailing the problems they would encounter in the simulation, and also guiding them on how to solve them.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to have any doubts. As long as you are confident in your heart that you can successfully establish the Foundation, take the pill and take that step.¡±


    Chen Mobai said this to Mu Yuan. Upon hearing this, the latter¡¯s eyes lit up. The confidence he had shown in sweeping the disciples of the Sect in these years was back.


    Mu Yuan was originally a very confident person, but he couldn¡¯t find that confidence in front of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Your Spiritual Root is average, and you have consumed too many pills when upgrading your Cultivation Level. Your Spiritual Power is not pure enough, so you will stop at condensing Qi into Liquid.¡±


    As for Li Yixian, Chen Mobai also spoke the truth. Upon hearing this, the latter couldn¡¯t help but hang his head in disappointment, but still thanked him for his guidance.


    ¡°When you reach the point of being unable to condense Liquid Spiritual Power, don¡¯t try to be strong. Just give up naturally. Your chance of success in taking the second Foundation Building Pill is still very high.¡±


    The last sentence from Chen Mobai made Li Yixian perk up a bit. Although he couldn¡¯t enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm, as long as he could establish the foundation, he would have the opportunity to climb to higher realms.


    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Chen.¡±


    The two bade him goodbye and left.


    They both trusted Chen Mobai¡¯s diagnosis and went back to hone their spiritual power and took blood and Qi replenishing medicine as required.

    But the truth proved that whether they could succeed or not was decided during the process of their cultivation journey.


    Thanks to Mu Yuan¡¯s excellent Spiritual Root, the efficiency of refining spirit Qi was twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, he rarely took pills to improve his cultivation level, and there was almost no Danless Poison in his Spiritual Power. Coupled with the nourishment of Longevity Spiritual Power to his body and Divine Sense, he indeed completed the transformation of spirit and qi once he took the Foundation Building Pill, leading to successful Foundation Establishment.


    As for Li Yixian, he stopped at the step of condensing Qi into liquid. Due to the impact of the Danless Poison, during the formation of the fifth drop of liquid Spiritual Power, he faltered and couldn¡¯t continue.


    However, he took Chen Mobai¡¯s encouragement to heart, and chose not to force himself further but naturally gave up.


    The failure at Foundation Establishment didn¡¯t cause any major damage to his spirit and qi. Not only did it cleanse his marrow, but it also expelled some Danless Poison due to experiencing condensing Qi into liquid once. This laid a solid foundation for him to take the second Foundation Building Pill in the future.

 Chapter 463 - Chapter 463: Chapter 329 I Have A Friend..._1

    Chapter 463: Chapter 329 I Have A Friend¡­_1


    After Mu Yuan had established his Foundation, Chen Mobai breathed a small sigh of relief.


    At least he had secured two fruits, although he had discovered the pattern of the Tree of Longevity and Wood Spirit Root himself, he felt it was generally correct.


    Yan Jinye and Yue Zutao, both possessing astonishing Wood Spirit Roots, had each obtained a fruit of Longevity from the Magic Treasure Tree.


    As for Mu Yuan, his Wood Spirit Root was not inferior to Yue Zutao. According to previous experiences, he was definitely able to obtain a fruit of longevity, but it was unknown whether it would be a small or medium one.


    If it were a small one, it would repeat for him, causing a waste.


    Yu Lian, who possessed his Wood Spirit Talisman, was guaranteed at least one big fruit.


    If he were also to give a Wood Spirit Talisman to Mu Yuan, then that would mean two big fruits, which would also be a repetition¡­


    Chen Mobai was quite troubled. After considering his options, he decided to consult a professional.


    The foremost in the field of spiritual plants within the immortal sects was undoubtedly the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    Fortunately, he had a good friend who was an excellent student from the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    Qing Nu: [What¡¯s the matter?]


    Chen Mobai: [A friend of mine at the Academy has hybridized a very interesting Spirit Fruit. If you take a set of three, it can enhance one¡¯s realm. However, these three fruits need to be ingested and refined in the order of small, medium, and large to be effective. But despite his best efforts, he has only harvested three fruits: small, large, and large. I would like to ask if reducing the efficiency of one of the large fruits could allow it to substitute for a medium one.]


    Qing Nu: [In theory, it¡¯s possible, but you need high-end Magic Artifact equipment to observe It. First, determine the spiritual power contained in the small fruit and the big fruit, then establish a growth model, determine the curve range of the medium fruit, and finally reduce the efficiency of the big fruit to within this curve.]


    Chen Mobai: [Is this difficult?]


    Qing Nu: [It¡¯s not too difficult. If you have a sample, you should be able to create the model curve in two or three days. But the Magic Artifact equipment is hard to find, I don¡¯t know if your academy has it.]


    After she finished speaking, Qing Nu sent over a link. It was a paper from Jumang Daoist Academy on determining the maturity level of Big Tree fruits, detailing not only the procedure but also the required Magic Artifact equipment.


    Chen Mobai: [Thanks, I¡¯ll go ask my academy¡¯s teacher.]


    After replying with a grateful emoticon, Chen Mobai immediately called his familiar Agricultural Studies teacher, Lin Wenkang.


    What¡¯s pleasing is that the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, being one of the top academies within the immortal sects, had all the necessary Magic Artifact equipment, despite not being as advanced in spiritual plants as the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    ¡°These were all discarded by the agricultural academy of the immortal sects. But for our academy, they are more than enough.¡±


    Chen Mobai followed Lin Wenkang into the laboratory for determining the maturity of various agricultural products like seeds and fruits. There was a complete set of equipment and a specific instruction manual, hundreds of pages long.


    With his authority as the student council president, applying to use this laboratory was naturally quite easy. When there was no class in the Spiritual Plant Department at the academy, he could come over.


    After completing the procedures and processes, Lin Wenkang directly gave the keys to Chen Mobai, who also took away the instruction manual.


    Chen Mobai was very motivated to learn.


    However, he did not forget the important matters. After returning to the Giant Tree Ridge, he gave the Wood Spirit Talisman to Mu Yuan, as promised at the time of guidance.


    An arrogant person like Mu Yuan would naturally not break his promise.


    Luckily, the Magic Treasure Tree wasn¡¯t a Talent Tree, otherwise, after Mu Yuan used the Wood Spirit Talisman, he would have noticed a change in his Spirit Root.


    However, to be on the safe side, Chen Mobai decided that after the Divine Tree Secret Realm was opened, he would also enter it to watch over Yu Lian and Mu Yuan to avoid any accidents.


    ¡°The fruits of the Magic Treasure Tree could be of great use to me, but this is your opportunity after all. This Rank-2 top quality Divine Wood Shield and Spirit Leaf Talisman can be considered as my compensations to you.¡±


    Yu Lian, who could establish his foundation, was greatly indebted to Chen Mobai, so he refused the compensation.


    But Mu Yuan, with his profound roots, would likely be successful in establishing his foundation even without Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance. Therefore, he felt it was necessary to give something in return.


    ¡°I agreed to this, you don¡¯t need these.¡±


    However, given Mu Yuan¡¯s personality, he would refuse any offer. He took the Wood Spirit Talisman and left straight away.


    ¡°With his attitude, he¡¯s bound to suffer in the future.¡±


    Luo Yixuan, watching Mu Yuan leave, mumbled this sentence.


    ¡°You should call him Uncle Master now, not ¡®this guy¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai tapped on his apprentice¡¯s forehead. After years of interaction, Luo Yixuan had begun to understand his personality better and had become livelier, treating him with less formality.


    But in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind, he was thinking that he needed to compensate Mu Yuan in some way when the chance came up in the future.


    Good things come in pairs.

    After Yu Lian and Mu Yuan had both established their foundations, Yuan Chiye, who had vanished before the battle between the Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain, returned.


    ¡°You probably don¡¯t know this, but I first ran to Rock Country. But then I felt that a battle between our sect and Shake Mountain was inevitable, so I hurried non-stop to Sky Country and eventually rushed into Cloud Dream. I encountered many formidable demonic beasts, but luckily, I¡¯m good at escaping. After overcoming many difficulties, I eventually found the island Fang Market established by the sect there.¡±


    E Yun brought Yuan Chiye back personally. The three of them sat in his courtyard, drinking heartily after a long time apart.


    ¡°As long as you¡¯re back safe.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile.

 Chapter 464 - Chapter 464: Chapter 329 I Have A Friend..._2

    Chapter 464: Chapter 329 I Have A Friend¡­_2


    ¡°Has Elder Brother Fu returned? In the end, we both went our separate ways. Life and death are fated, it seems he went in the opposite direction to Frost Country.¡±


    Yuan Chiye asked with concern. Fu Xingzhou had not yet returned, but Elder Ancestor Fu had reached an agreement with the Snow-blowing Palace. If they found him, they agreed to send him back.


    ¡°I hope he is also safe and sound.¡±


    Yuan Chiye, who had also collaborated with Fu Xingzhou, sighed.


    However, on the second day, Yuan Chiye was called to Shenmu Hall by the Sect Leader.


    It was said that Elder Ancestor Fu was also there.


    Basically all the Cultivators who were mobilized by the sect in this war and survived have returned, only Fu Xingzhou was missing.


    After Yuan Chiye reported truthfully all he knew, he only received a thousand basic contributions, but he was admitted into the Shenmu Hall and became an inner hall senior manager, which is what he wished for.


    Then, Meng Hong officially announced his resignation from the position of Sect Leader.


    Chu Zuoshu was designated as the next Sect Leader, however, according to the rules, he still needed to decline the position three times.


    But everyone knew that he was about to become the Sect Leader.


    Invitations to the seven major sects were being prepared.


    And after Chu Zuoshu took over Shenmu Hall, the position of the Reward Virtue Hall Master would be vacant, Luo Xue¡¯er and Fu Huakun both started to make their own moves.


    During one of his duties, Chen Mobai was called over by Luo Xue¡¯er for a chat. This Sister who was in the late stages of Foundation Establishment was eloquent and gentle, and she tactfully asked a question in the end.


    ¡°Brother Liu, the Guard of the Founding Nation, his term will end next year. Brother Chen, are you interested?¡±


    Guard of the Founding Nation?


    Chen Mobai was surprised at her words.


    The Divine Wood Sect ruled over four nations, and since Giant Tree Ridge was in Jian Country, the so-called Guard of the Founding Nation was essentially a titular position. Even if one stayed within the sect for ten years, it would still count as completing the task.


    Therefore, the position of Jian Country¡¯s Guard had always been highly competitive.


    After all, if one wanted to hold important positions in the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions of the sect, one needed the experience of being a Guard.


    Compared to Yun Country, Lei Nation, and Rain Country, Jian Country was undoubtedly the easiest and best choice.


    Also, the spiritual energy in Giant Tree Ridge was abundant, other places could at most have Rank-3 Spirit Veins.


    ¡°If possible, that would indeed be the best.¡±


    Chen Mobai responded, feeling that with his abilities, even if he were to become Sect Leader of Divine Wood Sect in the future, he would be more than capable.


    To become Sect Leader, one definitely needed to progress step by step, and a ten-year term as a Guard was a hurdle that couldn¡¯t be bypassed. If he could complete it within the sect, without even needing to leave, that would definitely be the best.


    ¡°I will mention this matter when the Three Halls and the Twelve Divisions discuss matters, Brother Chen, you should also prepare in advance.¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er said with a smile, then she left.


    Chen Mobai pondered for a while, still uncertain, he wanted to find someone to discuss it with.


    Unfortunately, Chu Zuoshu had already taken over Shenmu Hall recently, busy with the succession of the Sect Leader, and he was surrounded by all sorts of bystanders.


    Yue Zutao was also still in Lei Nation, acting as Guard there.


    After E Yun sent Yuan Chiye back, he went back to Yun Meng Ze the next day. He was the Guard of Yun Country, still in the process of accumulating experience.


    After some thought, Chen Mobai could only go to look for Sun Gaochang.


    ¡°I support Inspector Fu, but I am quite tempted by Vice Hall Master Luo¡¯s proposal. I wonder what Brother Sun would suggest?¡±


    ¡°In my opinion, Brother, just go ahead and support Inspector Fu. Even if your vote is added, it won¡¯t affect the overall situation.¡±


    ¡°Oh, what do you mean by this, Brother Sun?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a little confused, but Sun Gaochang just laughed, took a sip of the new wine Chen Mobai brought.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, Master Chu will take over as Sect Leader, but the position of Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall should be vacant.¡±


    ¡°Why is that?¡±


    Sun Gaochang stretched out two fingers indicating the sky, and then stretched out a third.


    Chen Mobai thought for a while, showing a look of realization.


    In the sect, the Hall Master of Shenmu Hall was Elder Ancestor Zhou, the Hall Master of Penalty Evil Hall was Elder Ancestor Fu. Only the Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall, previously Chu Zuoshu, was because there was no third Golden Core Cultivator in the sect.


    The saying goes ¡®No tiger on the mountain.¡¯


    And now after Meng Hong¡¯s resignation, because he was getting old, he would definitely reach the Golden Core stage in a short time.


    If he succeeds in Core Formation, then all three hall masters will be Golden Core cultivators, which would elevate the stature of the Divine Wood Sect. It would also pave the way for Meng Hong to assume the position of Reward Virtue Hall Master.


    Therefore, the position of Reward Virtue Hall Master is likely to be held open until Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation.


    If he fails, Meng Hong, as previous Sect Leader, definitely won¡¯t take up this position and would likely fade away, serving as an elder behind the scenes.


    ¡°Furthermore, whether Master can take up the position of the Guard of Jian Country largely depends on the Sect Leader. Vice Hall Master Luo may have proposed it, but she is not the one to make the decision,¡±


    Sun Gaochang added, as both he and Chen Mobai were Chu Zuoshu¡¯s direct disciples, they could now speak more openly.


    ¡°Thank you for the guidance, Brother Sun.¡±


    With a look of enlightenment, Chen Mobai left the Spirit Plant Department.


    Three days later, Chu Zuoshu officially took over as Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, issuing edicts and official documents to every Cultivator in the Sect.


    However, the official ceremony would take place at the beginning of next year, giving time for the other East Wilderness Major Sects to react.


    After becoming Sect Leader, Chu Zuoshu became even busier.


    But the war was over and the mess created by Meng Hong had been cleared up before his resignation, so all Chu Zuoshu had to do was distribute the compensation to the injured disciples, which was the most troublesome task.


    Especially those who were poisoned with the Broken Pulse Bead Poisonous Gas. Despite the Alchemy Department¡¯s full force treatment, many people¡¯s foundation were damaged and cultivation could be delayed by two to three years.


    This wasn¡¯t a big issue for the younger Cultivators, but for those aiming to compete for the true teachings of the sect, they might miss out on the Foundation Building Pill.


    Xie Yuntian from the Sword Training Department suggested delaying the production of the Foundation Building Pill by three years.


    Chu Zuoshu thought this made sense, but there were many objections. He was unsure whether to take this decision or not.


    As a result, a dispute began among the three halls and twelve departments over this issue.


    During the war between two sects, the disciples of the Sword Training, Body Forging, and Formation Departments were almost completely out on the field in Lei Nation. The impact of Broken Pulse Bead was severe on them. To secure their disciples¡¯ future, the department heads didn¡¯t hesitate to argue publicly.


    It¡¯s interesting when cultivators start a fight.


    However, Chen Mobai heard about this from Xi Yisheng. As the deputy head of the Sword Training Department, he had the privilege to attend and listen to the discussions.


    Meanwhile, as the high-ups of the Divine Wood Sect were arguing, Yu Lian, and Mu Yuan had finally been able to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    Lu Yi from the Transmission Department had used this opportunity to excuse himself from the argument.


    Chen Mobai, who had been eagerly waiting for this day, arrived at the Secret Realm of the Divine Tree in advance to wait.


    His real body was in front of the Magic Treasure Tree and his Avatara puppet was in front of the Talent Tree, to avoid any unforeseen accidents.


    In the sky, the silver light was flickering. Then there was a crack in the void, like a black lightning, splitting a jagged gap.


    Two people descended from this gap in the void.


    It was Yu Lian and Mu Yuan.


    After entering, the two of them immediately controlled their magic artifacts to stop the freefall and landed in the dense forest below.


    Chen Mobai, who had been waiting for three days, finally welcomed the arrival of Yu Lian.


    As obedient as ever, he took out the Wood Spiritual Talisman in front of the Magic Treasure Tree and ignited it, then disappeared on the spot.


    When he reappeared, he was holding an unopened yellow fruit.


    There was curiosity on Yu Lian¡¯s face, but he didn¡¯t open the fruit in the end, instead, putting it into his storage bag.


    Then he flew toward the direction of the Talent Tree.


    Chen Mobai nodded, but in his mind, he wondered why Mu Yuan hadn¡¯t come over yet.


    He waited for five long days, but neither in front of the Magic Treasure Tree nor the Talent Tree, did Mu Yuan appear.


    [Did he go to the Divine Dao Tree and tried the trial, only to be directly teleported outside?]


    Chen Mobai thought of this possibility, and he broke into a cold sweat.


    He felt that it¡¯s not beyond Mu Yuan¡¯s character to do this.


    Hopefully, he wouldn¡¯t fall short of success here!

    Chen Mobai grit his teeth and took out a Message Talisman to find Mu Yuan.


    He discovered that it was working, which meant that Mu Yuan was still inside the Secret Realm of the Divine Tree.


    What on earth was he doing?


    Chen Mobai, who let out a sigh of relief, noticed Yu Lian at the Talent Tree.


    With this mystery, he followed the Message Talisman and flew towards where Mu Yuan was.

 Chapter 465 - Chapter 465: Chapter 330 Getting the fruit of the Tree of Longevity_1

    Chapter 465: Chapter 330 Getting the fruit of the Tree of Longevity_1


    When Chen Mobai found Mu Yuan, the latter was standing in front of a large tree that would take four to five people to encircle.


    This large tree seemed to have experienced a long span of time, its cyan-brown bark had slightly yellowed, its branches were vigorous like dragons. Yet strangely, it didn¡¯t bear any leaves.


    In order to avoid being noticed, Chen Mobai stood two kilometers away and then activated his Void Spirit Eye.


    With one glance, he realized what was happening.


    This was a Qingyang Spirit Tree undergoing transformation.


    It was unsure how Mu Yuan had discovered this, considering that during Chen Mobai¡¯s many years in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he had only ever witnessed Red-sun Spirit Trees and never discovered a Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    However, this could also be because he was not on a specific search for it.


    The tree before his eyes was the legendary transformation process of a Qingyang Spirit Tree ¨C its three spiritual energies of earth, wood, and fire were imbalanced, triggering its transformation into a Qingyang Spirit Tree before it started to burn its own body with Qingyang Fire.


    It was unknown how Mu Yuan managed to find this place. Witnessing this extremely rare scene, he stood still involuntarily.


    Through his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai saw that the Qingyang Spirit Tree seemed to have undergone half of its transformation.


    The surrounding ground was covered with leaves wilted and fallen note after being burned by the Qingyang Fire. From the vigorous dragon-like branches, tiny red flames had begun to ignite at the tips.


    Like a chain reaction, the red flames began to rise in temperature gradually with the help of the Qingyang Spirit Tree¡¯s main body.


    When all the branches had been burnt, the red flames had turned a faint purple.


    Subsequently, the faint purple flames began to heat the main body of the Qingyang Spirit Tree, a process that started slow but soon quickened.


    By the time the flames turned deep purple, there was only a stump of the Qingyang Spirit Tree left that was about as tall as half a person.


    All the flames gathered on top of the stump, which began to condense into form, but it seemed to lack a key force and hence could not form into a fire seed.


    ¡°For a plant to become spiritual, it¡¯s ultimately quite challenging,¡±


    Mu Yuan sighed, injecting his pure Longevity Spiritual Power into the deep purple flames.


    Soon after, the purple flames consumed the remaining stump and even swallowed up all signs of the Qingyang Spirit Tree¡¯s existence down its roots, leaving behind a deep pit layered with ashes and wilted leaves.


    Yet even so, the formation of the Qingyang Fire Seed was incomplete and it was unable to take shape.


    Chen Mobai watched as Mu Yuan took out a Spirit Stone to absorb before continuously injecting Longevity Spiritual Power into the deep purple flames burning within the pit.


    Squeak! Crack!


    Accompanied by the sounds of trees snapping, Chen Mobai watched as Mu Yuan felled nearly a thousand Red-sun Spirit Trees within a half-kilometer radius, then swung each one of them into the tree pit like one would throwing firewood into a fire.


    Originally waning, the deep purple flames were revitalized by Mu Yuan¡¯s spiritual energy and the seemingly endless Red-sun Spirit Trees as fuel. Ultimately, an hour later, they solidified into a palm-sized ¡°fire seed¡±.


    This was the origin of the Qingyang Fire Seed.


    Having seen the entire process, a look of sudden understanding appeared on Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    In the Giant Tree Ridge, Yue Zutao must have also used this method to create a fire seed after a failed transformation attempt by a Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    Mu Yuan was indeed fortunate, being able to witness a Qingyang Spirit Tree undergo transformation within the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    It would have been great if the transformation was successful.


    In his heart, Chen Mobai sighed. After all, the Divine Tree Secret Realm was now practically his. If this Spirit Tree had successfully advanced to a Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Tree, it would be a treasure either kept alive or harvested in the future.


    But failure is the norm, with success being an occasional incident.


    It served as a reminder for him to possibly find other Qingyang Spirit Trees, or even Golden Sun Spirit Trees, in the Divine Tree Secret Realm in the future.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai then directed his gaze towards the three Heaven-reaching Divine Woods at the core of the Secret Realm.


    He wondered if these three Divine Woods could grow into tree seeds.


    By this time, Mu Yuan had stored the newly born and still weak Qingyang Fire Seed into a pot.


    Watching him bring out two Spirit Stones to meditate and replenish the spiritual energy he¡¯d lost, Chen Mobai quietly let out a sigh of relief.


    You should finally head towards the Magic Treasure Tree now.


    Since he¡¯d found Mu Yuan, the guardian puppet at the Talent Tree didn¡¯t need to stay there any longer.


    Chen Mobai instructed his Divine Sense to follow Yu Lian, who had seemingly gained some Cultivation Techniques, and moved towards the Divine Tree.


    He wanted to see how many steps Yu Lian could take.


    A day later, Mu Yuan, who had recuperated his spiritual power, indeed did as he had anticipated and flew towards the Magic Treasure Tree.


    Being a man who kept his promises, he took out his Wood Spiritual Talisman and after activating it, entered the tree crown and also picked a yellow fruit.


    After that, Mu Yuan visited the Talent Tree.


    With his Wood Spirit Root, naturally, he obtained a Secret Technique that seemed extremely useful to him, causing the usually cold him to show a hint of pleasure.


    Lastly, it was in front of the Divine Tree.

    Yu Lian took seven steps, which was already a highly commendable feat.


    Knowing that E Yun also only managed seven steps.


    Without using the puppet, Chen Mobai alone also managed to stop at seven.


    But for the trial set by the longevity religion, seven steps were far from enough, the divine tree would not even notice.


    Chen Mobai wondered what Hong He, who had taken nine steps, managed to achieve here.

 Chapter 466 - Chapter 466: Chapter 330: Obtaining the Fruit of Longevity_2

    Chapter 466: Chapter 330: Obtaining the Fruit of Longevity_2


    As Chen Mobai was lost in thought, Mu Yuan had already stood in front of the Dao Tree, taking a deep breath.


    Before they entered, Meng Hong had specifically mentioned that if he could take ten steps, he could obtain a startling opportunity.


    The Chen Brother whom Mu Yuan begrudgingly respected had taken ten steps in front of the Dao Tree. If he was to catch up in the future, this would be the best chance to gauge the gap between them.


    Ensuring he was at his peak, Mu Yuan took his first step¡­


    By the seventh step, Mu Yuan felt his divine sense becoming chaotic, like a hammer was jammed into his mind, shattering his soul and slowly sinking him into an eternal abyss.


    And yet, Mu Yuan still stubbornly took the eighth step.


    However, before this foot touched the ground, he had already lost consciousness and was then teleported away from this place.


    After watching both Yu Lian and Mu Yuan¡¯s performances, Chen Mobai was somewhat itching to test himself.


    Chen Mobai wanted to know how many steps he could take in front of this Dao Tree.


    The Tree Fruits were of utmost importance to him.


    Chen Mobai glanced at the Dao Tree, took out his phone, and returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    Three days later.


    Chen Mobai stared at the two yellow fruits in his hand, revealing a satisfied smile.


    Yu Lian and Mu Yuan, after awakening, had each sent their fruits over in unopened condition. Their character was indeed trustworthy.


    After unsealing the two yellow fruits, as expected, they contained the Tree Fruits he needed.


    He also pulled out the little fruit he had obtained from Yan Jinye.


    The small fruit had a greyish-brown outer shell with one white mark.


    The two new fruits revealed three white marks, evenly distributed, covering their entire outer shells.


    They were undoubtedly big fruits.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s heart was filled with excitement as he picked up one of the big fruits, feeling its immense energy. He couldn¡¯t wait to return to the Immortal Sect immediately.


    However, he hadn¡¯t finished the model for the fruit¡¯s growth cycle. His hands-on knowledge wasn¡¯t as practiced as Qingnu¡¯s.


    If the Tree Fruits weren¡¯t so important, Chen Mobai would have gone straight to Qingnu for help with downgrading the big fruits.


    But having thought about it, he¡¯d already managed for several years, now with three fruits in hand, he could afford the time.


    So, Chen Mobai learned how to use the medical instrument that evaluates fruit maturity while waiting for the unrest after the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s succession.


    In the end, Chu Zuoshu agreed to delay the Foundation Building Pill refining process by three years. After all, they couldn¡¯t disappoint the true disciples who fought for the Sect, but for fairness, the second next refining wouldn¡¯t be delayed.


    Which meant that the next harvest of the Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms would be postponed to six years later, but the one after that would be seventeen years later, ensuring it¡¯s done before the new disciples join every ten years.


    This gives Ming¡¯er a chance.¡±


    In Xiao Nanshan, after reading the Sect¡¯s decree, Chen Mobai smiled and said to his two disciples.


    Zhuo Ming had barely broken through to Qi Cultivation rank seven last year. Considering her pace, she definitely couldn¡¯t achieve Qi Cultivation Perfection in three years. But with a three-year delay, Chen Mobai was confident that she could become a true disciple.


    I¡¯m not very good at Magic Duels. I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll achieve the necessary cultivation realm, but still lose to the famous true disciples on the dueling platform.¡±


    Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t have much confidence in herself, her round face full of worry.


    You¡¯re being modest, Sister. Magic Duels rely mostly on actual combat. You just need to participate in the Sect¡¯s annual competition each year, and by the time six years pass, you¡¯ll definitely be no worse than any true disciple.¡±


    However, Luo Yixuan encouraged Zhuo Ming. She¡¯s been hiding her strength in every Sect competition, but managed to proceed to the round just before becoming a true disciple, gaining abundant combat experience.


    Furthermore, she participated in the two Sect battles with Liu Wenbo, gaining a fair amount of experience. She had the confidence that as long as she was performing normally, she¡¯d enter the ranks of true disciples.


    Ming¡¯er, there are six years left. Practice more spells.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, the Nine Ranges Law Body Technique that I gave you isn¡¯t bad. You need to continuously consume Spirit Rice daily to practice this technique. We have plenty of this here on Xiao Nanshan. There are also recorded auxiliary spiritual medicines that you can distill into medicinal wine and take them when you have time.¡±


    ¡°If you can master the first layer in six years, your physical strength will be equivalent to that of a top rank-1 magic artifact. By then, I will give you one or two Rank-2 magic artifacts, which will ensure your strong standing among the true disciples.¡±


    Among the three disciples, Chen Mobai is slightly more inclined towards Zhuo Ming currently.


    Mainly because the operation at Xiao Nanshan has grown larger and he is busy cultivating. She is responsible for managing nearly 100 acres of spirit field. If Zhuo Ming could reach Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai feels that she can fully inherit his real mantle in farming.


    Even now, Zhuo Ming brings Chen Mobai a profit of several thousand spirit stones every year.


    This second disciple, casually accepted, is like a treasure trove.


    Moreover, in the foreseeable future, once a mature Rank-2 Spirit Rice seed is developed, it will not be a harvest of patches of Spirit Rice but individual Spirit Stones.


    ¡°The Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine are all master¡¯s assets.¡±


    Zhuo Ming quietly said a sentence. According to the rules of the Tianhe Realm, the work done by a disciple for their master is all unpaid, and in return, masters are happy to impart some techniques and give some Spirit Stones.


    Although Chen Mobai is different from others, Zhuo Ming, who has grown up in the Eastern Wilderness since childhood, believes that being able to worship on Xiao Nanshan is the greatest opportunity. So she has always been diligent and adhered to the rules.


    Usually Chen Mobai does not speak, so she stores the harvested Spirit Rice in the warehouse and buries Spiritual Wine in the wine cellar, like a landlady, managing it diligently, never using it privately.


    ¡°I order you to cultivate the Nine Ranges Law Body. You can use any resources available in Xiao Nanshan, as well as Spirit Stones from the shop¡¯s account. If it¡¯s not enough, tell me.¡±


    After spending these years together, Chen Mobai had completely understood Zhuo Ming¡¯s character.


    If he spoke kindly, Zhuo Ming wouldn¡¯t dare, but she would obey and execute direct orders.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    As expected, after hearing the order, Zhuo Ming¡¯s face flushed slightly and she nodded happily.


    ¡°Master, can I cultivate it too?¡±


    Luo Yixuan also spoke up enviously from the side, but Chen Mobai shook his head.


    ¡°The Blackwater Cultivation you practice contradicts the path of the Nine Ranges Law Body. If you really want to forge your body, you can look for something in the Book Pavilion. As for Spirit Rice, we have no shortage of it at Xiao Nanshan. Whether you or Wen Bo need it, just take it.¡±


    On the surface, of course, Chen Mobai treats everyone equally. Speaking of Nine Ranges Law Body, he thought of another matter.


    ¡°Right, how¡¯s your learning from the Earth Master Heritage book I gave you last time?¡±


    ¡°Master, it¡¯s a bit difficult.¡±


    Luo Yixuan said a little embarrassedly.


    She and Zhuo Ming were studying the Earth Master Heritage together, but the entry to a Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal was tough. They still haven¡¯t caught on.


    ¡°Focus on your personal cultivation, practice more combat-suitable spells, and study the Earth Master Heritage book in your spare time.¡±


    Chen Mobai instructed, telling them not to neglect the essentials.


    Becoming a true disciple and obtaining a Foundation Building Pill is the main thing.


    He is a supporter of the realm-focused path, believing that it¡¯s best to boost the realm first, then enhance skills.


    After the two disciples withdrew, Chen Mobai suddenly thought of another technique he had on hand.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Myriad Law Body.¡±


    This was given to him by Yu Lian, who said it was the invincible technique used by the ancestor of the Wangu Sect in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The ancestor of the Wangu Sect was also a Nascent Soul cultivator. Before the Hun Yuan ancestors, he was the ruler of the Eastern Wilderness, known as ¡°Not bound by all laws, merging with the vast sky¡±. When he used his Nascent Soul¡¯s form, it was like he had the blue dome of the sky above his head and yellow springs beneath his feet. He integrated body forging and Spell cultivation and was a peak existence.


    Previously, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have time to read it. Now that he has the fruit in hand, he is figuring out the growth model. It happens to be a means to use his time efficiently.


    With such an idea, Chen Mobai started reading ¡°Myriad Law Body¡±.

 Chapter 467 - Chapter 467: Chapter 331: Consuming the Tree Fruit_1

    Chapter 467: Chapter 331: Consuming the Tree Fruit_1


    The so-called All Laws Persona!


    It is a condensation of a spiritual energy body, but this body is not an ordinary one. It requires the cultivator to utilise their innate talents and divine sense, constantly incorporating various technique laws and divine skills.


    In the beginning, this cultivation technique seems slightly innovative, but as it progresses it becomes extremely powerful.


    Upon reaching the Nascent Soul Formation, it is as though you possess a second nascent soul. When fighting against others of equal realm, the odds are substantially in your favor.


    But that¡¯s where the problem lies. The experiences of predecessors in cultivating All Laws Persona are completely ineffective. Each person needs to evolve according to their own constitution and talent, supplementing it with divine sense to bestow spirit.


    This has led to an irreversible decline of the Wan Gu sect after their ancient ancestor¡¯s nirvana.


    Because All Laws Persona is a late-stage technique. Even if cultivated in the early stages, it would not greatly enhance a combatant¡¯s capabilities.


    After the Wan Gu Sect was exterminated by the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, its inheritance was dispersed among the stars. Every major sect possessed a part of it, including the basic cultivation method for All Laws Persona.


    Although some disciples later foolishly thought of recreating the invincible might of ancient Wan Gu ancestors in the Eastern Wilderness by diligently cultivating All Laws Persona, none of them made a splash.


    Gradually, the All Laws Persona was shelved.


    The copy of ¡°All Laws Persona¡± gifted to him by Yu Lian was an original version, hence slightly more complete than those confiscated by the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness. However, it mainly contained notes and cultivation insights of later generations from the Wan Gu Sect.


    Still, individuals possess different bodily constitutions, so these insights served only as a foundation for beginners. Once cultivation began, they were of no use.


    This instance of the All Laws Persona was a handwritten copy left behind by the Silver Sky Sect¡¯s ancestor, also the disciple of the ancient ancestor of the Wan Gu Sect. It outlined their lineage¡¯s experience in cultivating the All Laws Persona.


    Starting with a simple palm, the spiritual body is condensed into a single digit, much like the way a human body is gestated. From an ethereal skeleton to meridians and flesh, extended gradually to the whole body, this is a time-consuming process.


    The ancient ancestor of the Wan Gu Sect reportedly spent five hundred years to fully cultivate his unique All Laws Persona. Upon its debut in the Eastern Region, it established a grand reputation listed among the ¡°Seven Extremes of Tao¡±.


    At this point, Chen Mobai lost all interest.


    Given the time, he might as well improve his realm to a higher degree. After all, he feels he has no time to waste in cultivating his Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    However, just as he was about to set aside All Laws Persona, he noticed the Formless Puppet on the side.


    Compared to the Eastern Wilderness, he had substantial advantages in cultivating All Laws Persona because he could use the Formless Puppet to deduce every step involved in cultivating this technique.


    For a cultivator of All Laws Persona, the most difficult part is to consolidate the spiritual energy body based on an individual¡¯s own constitution and talent. It¡¯s akin to extrapolating a body-transformation technique that¡¯s ideal for oneself from scratch right after becoming a novice.


    Even for individuals with mind-boggling talent, this would be a massive headache.


    After all, even Qi cultivators at the foundation-establishment stage require a long period of trials and exploration to deduce a new Qi cultivation technique. Considering this, how could someone deduce a cultivation technique as top-tier as All Laws Persona, a technique from the Eastern Wilderness to the Nascent Soul Realm, in a short period of time?


    Yet, Chen Mobai was different. His Formless Puppet could automatically deduce everything. Given ample Spirit Stones, he did not need to worry at all.


    He felt like he would regret it if he didn¡¯t cultivate All Laws Persona!


    With these strange feelings, Chen Mobai fed All Laws Persona into the Formless Puppet asking it to deduce the cultivation route.


    However, he found that this process was very slow.


    [Please set up a main route, should certain features be prioritised?]


    This prompt suddenly popped up on the Formless Puppet¡¯s screen. Without an order of entry into the technique, even this omnipotent puppet was a bit dumbfounded.


    This was the first time Chen Mobai had encountered such a situation and he couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    It seemed that even the heavens did not want him to cultivate All Laws Persona.


    The Formless Puppet couldn¡¯t even deduce it.


    But this outcome did not bother Chen Mobai much.


    He still favored techniques such as Pure Yang Daoist Body and Immortal Body that only required resources to reach fruition. All Laws Persona, which relied on comprehension and talent, wasn¡¯t suitable for his average talent.


    Having set this matter aside, Chen Mobai began to fully immerse himself in the growth model curve of the large fruit.


    Although he had average talent, being a foundation-establishment cultivator, he could learn some knowledge very quickly when he concentrated.


    After spending half a month¡¯s time, he had finally completed all the theory and was only left with practice.


    At this point, Chen Mobai was already a bit impatient.


    After all, consuming these three tree fruits would save him hundreds of years of hard work and directly elevate Chen Mobai¡¯s longevity sutra from the early foundation stage to foundation perfection.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    It was a bit embarrassing that, although it had been over three years since he reached the foundation establishment, the progress in the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s signature longevity sutra was terribly slow.


    From ¡°10 drops¡± of liquid spiritual power at the time of the foundation establishment, it had only increased to ¡°15 drops.¡±


    According to the cultivation experience of many seniors in the Divine Wood Sect, at around 35 to 50 drops, one can attempt to break through to the middle foundation stage. The exact amount varies from person to person, depending on how deep their foundations are.


    One can start breaking through to the late foundation stage with 100 to 120 drops of longevity spiritual power.


    At foundation perfection, the Divine Wood Sect recorded that the minimum amount of spiritual power was 150 drops, while the most was 180 drops by Zhou Laozu.

 Chapter 468 - Chapter 468: Chapter 331 Consuming Tree Fruit_2

    Chapter 468: Chapter 331 Consuming Tree Fruit_2


    Compared to the countable liquid spiritual power at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment mentioned in the Pure Yang Scroll, the Divine Wood Sect uses approximations.


    Basically, when you feel that your Dantian Qi Sea has been filled with spiritual power and can no longer condense and elevate, you can start breaking through.


    Whether the breakthrough will be successful depends entirely on fate.


    If you overcome the bottleneck, your Dantian will expand, allowing you to condense and store more spiritual power. If not, one must heal the damage to the Dantian and try breaking through again after nourishment and recovery.


    In contrast, the experts of the Immortal World have standardized the pattern and the amount of spiritual power required for each breakthrough.


    These are outcomes of endless experiments, and they represent the easiest way to break through and the way that minimally damages the body and divine sense, even if the breakthrough fails.


    Take the Pure Yang Scroll as an example.


    15 drops of liquid spiritual power signify the successful foundation establishment, and when you accumulate 30 drops, you can begin the breakthrough to the second level.


    45 drops correspond to the third level.


    However, the bottleneck between the third and fourth layers is relatively harder. A slight increase requires 70 drops of liquid spiritual energy.


    But as the Dantian Qi Sea has expanded twice at the second and third levels, the original major bottlenecks have already been broken twice, making the breakthrough much easier.


    At 70, 90, and 110 drops correspond to the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels of the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s Foundation Establishment, respectively.


    At 150, 180, and 210 drops correspond respectively to the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s Foundation Establishment.


    Upon reaching perfection in Foundation Establishment, unless one is innately physically weak or suffers from early Yuan Yang leakage, everyone will have 240 drops of liquid spiritual power.


    In comparison, the level of Foundation Establishment perfection in the Longevity Scroll is equivalent to the seventh or eighth level of the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s Foundation Establishment.


    Based on Chen Mobai¡¯s current cultivation speed of 5 drops every 3 years, if every breakthrough is successful, he could theoretically reach the fourteenth level of Foundation Establishment perfection in the Longevity Scroll in about 100 years.


    His Wood Spirit Root is still somewhat inadequate.


    This is because he has the luxury of abundant spirit stone resources of the Divine Wood Sect. If he adds the time spent on Cultivating Pure Yang Scroll and the Pure Yang Daoist Body, Chen Mobai feels that his current lifespan of 300 years may just allow him to attempt Core Formation once at the peak of his physical energy and blood.


    That¡¯s why Chen Mobai was so excited about obtaining the Tree Fruit of Longevity, which could save him time.


    This fruit could save him a hundred years of hard work.


    First, he wants to reach perfection in the Foundation Establishment of the Longevity Scroll, then use the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method to boost the realm of the Pure Yang Scroll. In this way, he is confident that he can attempt core formation before he turns 100.


    Even if the first attempt fails, he will have another hundred years at his peak to keep trying.


    If he¡¯s short on resources in the Immortal World, he can think of a solution in the Tianhe Realm. Worst case scenario, he could eat Spirit Void flowers and Break Void Mushrooms raw, just like Meng Hong.


    As long as he tries enough times, he¡¯ll eventually succeed.


    With a clear plan in mind, Chen Mobai returned to the Immortal World.


    First, he visited the Crimson City Cave.


    He and Yu Rulin had agreed on the purchase of Longevity Elixirs. A business transaction worth over four million Good Deed Points was no small matter, even for two Foundation Establishment cultivators who are heads of their own Daoist Academies. They both needed to be cautious.


    However, as per Chen Mobai¡¯s request, he didn¡¯t need an invoice for this transaction.


    In other words, he didn¡¯t want any points. This way, the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute didn¡¯t need to pay taxes, saving a considerable amount of Good Deed Points.


    Yu Rulin wasn¡¯t surprised by this, as many who purchased the Longevity Elixir from their institution didn¡¯t wish to let others know they were shortening their lifespans. Some were on the brink of death, trying desperately to extend their lives by wasting Good Deed Points. To keep their families from finding out, they also requested confidentiality in the transactions and didn¡¯t publicize their accounts.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mass purchase of such life-extending elixirs might not have been possible if he hadn¡¯t given the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute a heads-up to start producing the Longevity Pills in advance.


    ¡°Senior Brother Chen, here are your elixirs. Please take care of them.¡±


    Yu Rulin handed a two-layered long wooden box to Chen Mobai. Upon opening, he found thirty Lifespan Extension Pills on the top layer and thirty Longevity Pills on the bottom.


    Each pill was individually packaged, very simple.


    Chen Mobai carefully opened one Life Extension Pill and Longevity Pill to inspect.


    ¡°The transaction is complete, you should check,¡±


    After confirming that there was no issue with the pills, Chen Mobai also instructed his mother to transfer the Good Deed Points to the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute¡¯s account.


    Yu Rulin waited a moment before receiving the deposit confirmation sent by the institute¡¯s finance manager. He wore a pleased expression, having benefited considerably from this large transaction. More so because it did not count towards his points total, allowing him to receive more.


    That being said, Chen Mobai was not at a disadvantage, as without invoice, the original total of over four million Good Deed Points was now just over three million six hundred thousand.


    If the Life Extension Cultivation Institute had to pay tax, then Chen Mobai would earn points, but he would also have to shoulder the payment¡¯s overhead.


    By not going through official channels now, neither party needed to pay tax to the Immortality Gate.


    It was a win-win situation.


    In truth, were it not for his desire to keep his purchase of Longevity Elixir a secret, Chen Mobai would be more than willing to pay tax in exchange for points. After all, he could exchange those points for good things from the Immortality Gate.


    After having coffee with Yu Rulin, the two contentedly parted ways.


    Chen Mobai pondered a moment, and took the box of Longevity Elixir with him back to Giant Tree Ridge.


    After all, he didn¡¯t know exactly what would happen when he used the Tree Fruit to make his breakthrough. If any unusual signs or fluctuations exposed him back at the Immortal Gate, it would be difficult to explain.


    He decided to first try the small fruit from Yan Jinye.


    Xiao Nanshan also had a Rank-3 high-grade Spirit Vein, combined with the Spirit Gathering Array he borrowed from Yunyang Bing, it could be enhanced to a Rank-4 Spirit Vein in a short time, not inferior to the environment at the Daoist Academy.


    Moreover, the whole Xiao Nanshan¡¯s Spirit Vein belonged exclusively to him, so he didn¡¯t have to worry about the Spirit Energy supply being cut off by the Academy¡¯s administrator, should they notice that the Gathering Array was drawing too much energy.


    Before using the Tree Fruit, Chen Mobai thoroughly examined the situation of his breakthrough to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage through the Eternal Life Sutra with his formless puppet. After confirming that there would be no problems, he took a deep breath and bit open the outer shell of the fruit.


    In that instant, an indescribable overflow of vitality burst from within the fruit like a galaxy pouring into his body. Brought along with it was a tremendous energy flow that surged throughout his entire body.


    Chen Mobai felt as if his five viscera, six bowels, and twelve normal meridians were being steeped in a warm current, undergoing a rapid transformation. The circulating longevity spiritual power in his body was forming like dewdrops. For each complete Grand Circulation, a drop would form in his Dantian Qi sea.


    The two intermediate-grade Spirit Stones in his hand were quickly drained, turning into white powder and dispersed.


    But Chen Mobai had prepared for this, the Spirit Gathering Array specially made by Yunyang Bing was activated. The spiritual energy density at the top of Xiao Nanshan was immediately elevated to Rank-4 lower-grade.


    Streams of extremely pure spiritual energy, like colorful rays of light, flowed into Chen Mobai¡¯s body, where he transformed them into drops of longevity spiritual power.


    Zhuo Ming, who was weeding at the foot of the mountain, felt a slight decline in earth energy and looked up in confusion.


    Then, she saw a white vortex emerge suddenly over the mountain peak that was always enshrouded in mist. It devoured and swept away the surrounding spiritual energy, faintly emitting colorful lights. It seemed like a pool of colorful clouds was surging on the mountaintop, or a colorful sun was slowly rising, casting rainbow glimmers. It was incredibly dazzling and beautiful.


    At this time, Luo Yixuan also returned.


    Before Chen Mobai¡¯s seclusion, he had asked her to bring the hired mortals and lower-level Qi Cultivators cultivating in Xiao Nanshan to Small Yang Ridge to avoid anyone finding out about any unusual signs during his breakthrough.


    However, this was always the custom here in the Tianhe realm. When Ji Zhenshi made a breakthrough to the late-Core Formation stage, he was also very secretive, intending to surprise his opponents. However, he didn¡¯t expect to encounter Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang and almost got killed.

    Before his seclusion this time, Chen Mobai told Luo Yixuan that there might be some disturbances. She was very happy, thinking that the master trusted her the most since he entrusted such an important task to her.


    In fact, it was because Zhuo Ming was good at farming but not proficient at handling such matters, so he entrusted the task to Luo Yixuan.


    On the mountain peak, Chen Mobai¡¯s longevity spiritual power quickly increased to 35 drops, but that wasn¡¯t close to enough.


    Having grown up consuming Spirit Rice, his Innate Yuan Qi was plentiful, and the minimum standard clearly wasn¡¯t enough.


    At this point, Chen Mobai could feel his lifespan starting to dwindle.

 Chapter 469 - Chapter 469: Chapter 332: Five Elements Essence_1

    Chapter 469: Chapter 332: Five Elements Essence_1


    For a young man like Chen Mobai, there was barely any noticeable feeling in the slight depletion of his lifespan.


    But the effects of longevity tree fruit were overwhelmingly profound. Drop by drop, as spiritual energy took form, his once robust vitality and essence started to stabilize, as if he had suddenly bypassed his youthful days and transformed into a mature man.


    Gradually, his long, jet-black hair started to grow grey, indicating a significant depletion of his lifespan.


    Simultaneously, the amount of Longevity Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qi Sea reached 50 drops, pushing him to his absolute limits.


    The decrease in his lifespan was now clearly perceptible to him, manifesting in various aspects of his existence.


    Chen Mobai felt his divine consciousness fluctuations smooth out. His Essence and Blood Energy seeped out from secret corners of his body, one bit at a time, blending with the warm flow within his vital organs, acupoints, and meridians, morphing it into a mysterious yet potent force that expanded his Dantian Qi Sea, saturated with Longevity Spiritual Power, inch by inch.


    Days passed one by one.


    As Chen Mobai consumed the tree fruit to break through his realm, his opponents were also making their moves.


    ¡­


    Pure Yang Academy.


    Xiahou Weihuan respectfully ushered a rugged man with yellowish complexion into a Spirit Energy Synthesis Room.


    ¡°Min Master, I¡¯m burdening you once again.¡±


    The rugged man, named Min Fangheng, was a famed Rank-4 Earth Master in the world of Immortal Cultivation. At a time when the cultivation profession was in decline, he was a top expert in his field.


    ¡°It¡¯s no trouble. After all, Nangong Xuanyu has generously rewarded me with Good Deed Points.¡±


    With a faint smile that revealed his pearly white teeth, Min Fangheng moved towards the magical devices in the Spirit Energy Synthesis Room. He began to skillfully operate and fine-tune the equipment.


    ¡°Min Master, actually it¡¯s not the Principal who requested the ¡®Fire Yang Evil¡¯. It¡¯s me,¡± Xiahou Weihuan said something that stopped Min Fangheng in his tracks. Min Fangheng turned around and scrutinized him up and down, asking with a puzzled expression.


    ¡°Bespoke Evil Qi from me is expensive.¡±


    Due to scarcity, the majority of Evil Qi is classified as spiritual objects under control and prohibited from being extracted.


    However, a lot of advanced spells, like Sword Sha, can¡¯t do without it. Hence, under these circumstances, the Repairing Heaven Institute developed an artificial synthesis method for Evil Qi.


    Sometimes, the artificial kind is more suitable for cultivators compared to the wild one.


    Since the former is manmade, it takes the user¡¯s requirements into full consideration during synthesis. This ensures that shortly after the Evil Qi is synthesized it can be refined rapidly and easily.


    The Repairing Heaven Institute¡¯s Yuan Xu, was awarded the ¡°Flying Immortal Award¡±, the highest accolade in the world of Immortal Cultivation, issued only once in a thousand years for his revolutionary synthetic Evil Qi technology.


    This award honours epoch-making transcendental techniques.


    After receiving the award, Yuan Xu graciously published his research paper on synthetic Evil Qi for public view.


    He studied every type of Evil Qi possessed by the world of Immortal Cultivation and came to a basic conclusion.


    Every type of Evil Qi can be broken down into the five basic elements of essence.


    The Five Element Essence is divided into Yin Five Elements and Yang Five Elements. In theory, these are known as the Ten Heavenly Stems in the world of Immortal Cultivation: Jia and Yi Wood, Bing and Ding Fire, Wu and Ji Earth, Geng and Xin Metal, Ren and Gui Water.


    Yuan Xu started here, breaking every pattern of Evil Qi down to its irreducible essence.


    For instance, a strand of Fire Yang Evil consists of 2 parts Jia Wood Essence, 3 parts Bing Fire Essence, 1 part Ding Fire Essence, 2 parts Wu Earth Essence, 1 part Geng Metal Essence, 1 part Ren Water Essence. Then, using a special environment created by the ordered magical apparatus, the Evil Qi is diligently refined, and eventually, a synthetic Evil Qi is produced.


    The ones capable of this in the world of Immortal Cultivation are the ¡°Earth Masters¡±.


    Min Fangheng is a specialist in the artificial synthesis of Evil Qi, most proficient in refining Fire Yang Evil. In addition, thanks to the substantial investment by the Pure Yang Academy in buying magical equipment, it made it possible for Nangong Xuanyu to cultivate as many as nine Primordial Yang Sword Sha in the particular environment of Immortal Cultivation.


    ¡°Min Master, rest assured. It¡¯s the Principal who asked me to invite you here. We will pay you a consulting fee of one hundred thousand Good Deed Points, a commission fee of one hundred thousand Good Deed Points, and an additional ten thousand for expenses. A total of two hundred and ten thousand Good Deed Points will be credited to your account upon completion.¡±


    ¡°Alright then, considering your background in the cultivation of Five Element Essence, instructing you won¡¯t be too tiring.¡±


    After suffering a crushing defeat against Lan Haitian in Little Red Sky, Xiahou Weihuan, spurred on by his pain, resolved that the only way to redeem his humiliation was to cultivate the Primordial Yang Sword Sha before Core Formation.


    The cost of creating synthetic Evil Qi wasn¡¯t high for Xiahou Weihuan, but the issue was the Five Element Essence.


    The so-called Five Element Essence is the spiritual power gained by cultivators practising a single attribute of Five Elements cultivation, and then reversing it back into spiritual energy by dispersing their power.


    What resulted was a pure and unadulterated Five Elements spiritual energy.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Cultivators practising Five Elements techniques can¡¯t cultivate Five Element Essence.


    Five hundred years ago, when Yuan Xu had just released his paper on synthetic Evil Qi, many Earth Masters hired base level Qi practitioners to cultivate it.


    Back then, a cultivation of Five Element Essence could fetch a price of 1000 Good Deed Points.


    For many cultivators who had no hopes for Transcendence, it became a golden path to earning a side income to support their families.


    Consequently, most average cultivators who were practising Five Elements techniques switched en masse to cultivate various single-attribute Qi practices, with the aim of dispersing their cultivated spiritual energy into Five Element Essence for selling.

 Chapter 470 - Chapter 470: Chapter 332: Five Elements Essence Qi_2

    Chapter 470: Chapter 332: Five Elements Essence Qi_2


    Cultivators in the later stage of Qi Cultivation can refine one strand of the Five Elements Essence every three to four days.


    For cultivators who have given up on the prospect of reaching Foundation Establishment, releasing the spiritual power they¡¯ve cultivated in exchange for tens of thousands of Good Deed Points is an attractive option.


    But soon, as more and more cultivators started to sell their refined Five Elements Essence, the price dropped, hitting a low of only 100 Good Deed Points at its worst.


    The immortal sects soon realized that this behavior was damaging the foundations of society and quickly issued a ban on it.


    They even equated the act of selling one¡¯s Five Elements Essence to blood selling in their public announcements, urging cultivators not to trade their future for temporary Good Deed Points.


    Once the massive machine that was the immortal sect got going, no one could stop it.


    However, the immortal sect did not prohibit the artificial synthesis of Earth Sha Qi.


    With the maturation of technology, not only could all thirteen types of Earth Sha Qi recognized by the immortal sect be artificially synthesized, but explorations into the remaining fifty-nine types of Earth Sha Qi were also ongoing with new research paper surfacing every few years and causing a sensation.


    The question then is ¨C


    If the immortal sect forbids the sale of Five Elements Essence, how are cultivators supposed to artificially synthesize Earth Sha Qi?


    The answer is to refine it themselves.


    The nine Fire Yang Shas that Min Fangheng synthesized for Nangong Xuanyu were the result of painstaking refinement by Nangong Xuanyu himself, achieved through the cultivation of Five Elements techniques.


    The sect ignores cultivators who refine it for their own use, viewing it as a part of the cultivation process.


    Of course, many Core Formation Professors claim to refine their essence but actually have their students do it for them.


    Nangong Xuanyu was fairly principled in this regard. Of the nine Fire Yang Shas, the first five were refined from his own Five Elements Essence. The remaining four were refined by others like Xiahou Weihuan and Sima Xingyu.


    That¡¯s why Min Fangheng said that Xiahou Weihuan had experience.


    According to the standards of the immortal sect, one Sha Qi is divided into ten strands, and each strand is further divided into ten threads, and each thread into ten fibers.


    If Xiahou Weihuan was to refine the Five Elements Essence by himself, even though he has achieved Perfection in Foundation Establishment and cultivates Qi quickly, he would need a thousand days at a rate of ten strands a day. He definitely wouldn¡¯t make it in time for the year-endDaoist Academy Conclave.


    But given that they had already brought the person here, they must have planned for this.


    Xiahou Weihuan opened a cabinet on the wall and took out ten large, colorful glass bottles, laying them out in front of Min Fangheng.


    ¡°You¡¯re sure you refined all of this yourself?¡±


    Min Fangheng looked at the glass bottles full of Five Elements Essence with disbelief, but Xiahou Weihuan simply nodded with a calm expression.


    ¡°This is the result of my hard work over the years.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Min Fangheng rolled his eyes. However, he was only there for the money, and if the client said the materials were legitimate, it would not be his problem if any issues arose later.


    ¡°I¡¯ll just take your word for it then.¡±


    ¡°Once I¡¯ve cultivated the Primordial Yang Sword Sha, I¡¯ll first defeat Doufa Sheng of Dance Tool Dao Academy, who¡¯s nothing more than an overrated scholar, then challenge Lan Haitian to avenge my previous disgrace.¡±


    Seeing Min Fangheng start setting up the apparatus to synthesize Fire Yang Sha, Xiahou Weihuan clenched his fists, already tallying up a list of opponents in his mind.


    But then he recalled Sima Xingyu, who had his cultivation restored and said that he would defeat Doufa Sheng of Dance Tool Dao Academy personally.


    The battle in which he sabotaged his cultivation, unable to take down Chen Mobai, who wanted to break the record of the Primordial Yang elder in Xiao Red Sky, had become Sima Xingyu¡¯s Heart Demon.


    ¡°Well, in that case, I¡¯ll leave Chen Mobai to Sima Xingyu. To think that a mere youngster would dare to claim the title of Doufa Sheng. At the end of the year, I¡¯ll show you what a real Sword Cultivator is!¡±


    As a fellow practitioner of Sword Light and the exceptional Primordial Yang Sword Secret, the second-best sword technique in the immortal sect, Xiahou Weihuan was confident that Sima Xingyu could manage Chen Mobai as easily as a cat catching a mouse.


    ¡­


    Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes and lifted his hand to sense the liquefied Spiritual Power deep within his body. He couldn¡¯t help but execute a technique he seldom used.


    Yi Wood Divine Thunder!


    He had developed a preference for this technique ever since he escaped from the South Mountain Thieves with a Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman.


    The first Rank-2 talisman Chen Mobai learned was the Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman.


    Of course, he needed to master the technique before he could begin drawing talismans. Although he had mastered the technique, his mediocre Wood Spirit Root meant that it wasn¡¯t as powerful as his Sword Rainbow.


    But, things had changed now!


    A radiant green thunderbolt shot out from his palm, much like a sword cleaving the heavens, slicing through the misty clouds atop the mountain, unveiling the clear blue sky.


    Chen Mobai discovered that the power of this spell had reached nearly three-quarters of the intensity of his own sword light.


    So this is the increased potency of spells driven by the ascent in realm!


    Indeed, the realm is of utmost importance.


    Chen Mobai deepened his understanding of the importance of the realm even further.


    Just then, a strand of grey caught his attention.


    The Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror appeared before his eyes. Upon seeing his own grey hair reflected in the mirror, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel a pang of heartache.


    He had lost several decades of lifespan just like that.


    Although breaking through the realm felt exhilarating, seeing himself suddenly transition from his youthful prime to middle age was indeed a melancholic experience for him, given his young mindset.


    Luckily, the lifespan he had expended could be replenished.


    Chen Mobai promptly swallowed a life-replenishing elixir that he had unsealed earlier. After waiting for a while, he didn¡¯t feel anything.


    After all, it could only replenish a year¡¯s worth of lifespan ¨C a mere drop in the bucket compared to the several decades he had lost.


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t in a hurry, as longevity elixirs could only be consumed once a day. He began to experience the sensations that followed his breakthrough to the middle phase of Foundation Establishment.


    The Qi Sea in his Dantian had more than doubled its size, and under his divine sense inspection, he noticed white patterns resembling the husk of the Longevity Spirit Fruit on the outer rim of his Dantian. These looked like some sort of natural barrier.


    Only by consuming more Longevity Spirit Fruits could such barriers be breached.


    After the breakthrough, the liquid longevity spiritual power, which was initially packed in Chen Mobai¡¯s Dantian, turned into a deep pool sinking in the lower half of his Dantian. Meanwhile, the upper part contained a small sun formed by thirty-eight drops of Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    Surrounding this small sun were four Sword Pills nurtured by indigo flames.


    They formed a configuration like a pentagram containing one large and four smaller components.


    Once longevity spiritual power surged, it would be ignited by the Qingyang Fire, transforming into Pure Yang spiritual power and fuel for powering up the Green Flame Sword Sha.


    While connecting both powers via Dual Phase Technique, Chen Mobai also isolated wood and fire spiritual power using the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror. The longevity spiritual power was not mature enough to be consumed yet.


    Next, Chen Mobai practiced various spells from the Eternal Life Sutra, and even unfolded the tree seeds using the Heavenly Wood Talisman.


    A pity that the Green Sun Tree Seed he had gotten during the war last time had been returned. Now, he could only experiment with the Red-Sun Spirit Tree. Despite this, Chen Mobai could perceive the essence of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s magic duels.


    The Heavenly Wood Spirit Light changed unpredictably under the control of his two cultivation techniques. Chen Mobai even gained a flash of inspiration about developing the ¡°Sacred Tree Divine Light¡±.


    It seemed that the words of Elder Zhou were not unfounded.


    A pity that just when he was about to evolve along this line of inspiration, the Red-Sun Spirit Tree next to him split open suddenly.


    A Rank-1 spirit tree simply couldn¡¯t withstand such evolutions.


    In his contemplation, Chen Mobai decided to consult Yue Zutao on how to condense tree seeds when he returned.


    Purchasing directly would be too expensive.


    After being reminded by Mu Yuan, Chen Mobai realized that mature Qingyang Spirit Trees must be in the Divine Tree Secret Realm. Since he had them in his backyard, why should he buy them?


    Calculating the time, it seemed like a day had passed. Chen Mobai took out another longevity pill which he had previously unsealed and swallowed it.


    Finally, he felt the effects of a spirit pill that replenished ten years of lifespan.


    He felt a refreshing coolness flow throughout his body, giving Chen Mobai the illusion that he had turned young again.


    However, his grey hair wouldn¡¯t turn back to black.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    To avoid attracting attention, Chen Mobai considered asking Luo Yixuan to help him manage his hair¨C perhaps shave it off completely so that no one could deduce the loss of his lifespan from his hair.


    However, most cultivators in the Tianhe Realm had long flowing hair. If he became bald all of a sudden, it would be hard to explain.


    After some consideration, Chen Mobai returned to the Immortal Gate and found a high-end hair salon to dye his hair black again.


    As he was unsure of just how much lifespan he had lost and didn¡¯t dare to undergo a checkup at a hospital to avoid leaving traces, he swallowed only two longevity pills and ten life-replenishing elixirs to avoid wastage.


    While replenishing thirty years of his lifespan, he finally began the process of downgrading a big fruit.

 Chapter 471 - Chapter 471: Chapter 333: Foundation Establishment Perfection_1

    Chapter 471: Chapter 333: Foundation Establishment Perfection_1


    Black Cloud Mountain.


    Yuan Hongyuan has been sitting under a Rank-3 Immortal Peach Spirit Tree for four years.


    Streams of pure spiritual energy from all directions poured into his body. His spiritual power fluctuated stronger each day, nearing a certain threshold, breaking through barriers.


    His eyes opened, and within the two dark depths were eyes akin to a black cloud, captivating, yet instilling reverent awe. It was as if layers of cloud rested deep within his eyes, concealing formidable power.


    Since pretending to be seriously sword-wounded, Yuan Hongyuan made a show of having his family collect healing elixirs, while he tucked himself away here to cultivate.


    It¡¯s unknown how the organization verified his story, but they indeed believed Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s excuse.


    It seemed he truly fought the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Sword Dao Genius, was severely injured, and even accepted the consoling gift of several spirit pills.


    Yuan Hongyuan played dumb, sighing and coughing from time to time. After taking the pills, he never left Black Cloud Mountain.


    Aside from that, the medication from the organization had also loosened his stagnant cultivation realm.


    Joyful, Yuan Hongyuan had his family purchase breakthrough spiritual objects.


    Today, he finally overcame the bottleneck that troubled him for more than twenty years and advanced to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.


    Although renowned in the outside world as unbeatable within the same rank due to his cultivation through force¡­


    But in reality, he knew it was because of cautiousness. Details about his opponents¡¯ techniques were always learned in advance, resulting in his impressive undefeatable record.


    The most significant victory was one against three, but that was just leveraging the geographical advantage and setting up a formation in advance. Even then, it was hard to repel three enemies of the same realm with the united effort of his clan¡¯s cultivators.


    Stuck in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment for hundreds of years, he had already given up ambition, intending to live the rest of his life peacefully.


    If there were promising talents in his clan, he would be willing to assist them fully, in hope of continuing the lineage of the Yuan family of Black Cloud Mountain that he painstakingly created.


    But after advancing to mid-Foundation Establishment, a hint of excitement stirred within Yuan Hongyuan.


    Could he still strive for a higher realm?


    However, Yuan Hongyuan quickly shook his head with a bitter smile.


    He was already over a hundred years old. He had been severely wounded several times competing for resources when he was young, and estimated that his lifespan was only a hundred years.


    He spent a hundred years advancing from the early to the middle Foundation Establishment stage.


    The opportunity for the next breakthrough probably wouldn¡¯t come until on his deathbed.


    Moreover, the cultivation technique he practiced, the ¡°Black Cloud Wave Technique,¡± could only be cultivated up to the late Foundation Establishment stage. The following part for Foundation Establishment Perfection and Core Formation stages were held in the hands of the organization¡¯s higher-ups.


    However, advancing to mid-Foundation Establishment was, after all, a good thing.


    Yuan Hongyuan used a special talisman to inform his liaison about this breakthrough.


    The higher one¡¯s realm in the organization, the more benefits one can receive. He had nearly exhausted the family¡¯s coffers for this breakthrough, so he planned to take on more tasks to earn spirit stones and resources.


    Three days later, as Yuan Hongyuan was consolidating his realm, a paper talisman flew over.


    After reading the message, his face became solemn, and he immediately switched on the mountain¡¯s large protective formation.


    A familiar figure descended from the sky.


    ¡°Congratulations on your breakthrough.¡±


    The man still faced away from Yuan Hongyuan, but his tone was much more polite than before.


    ¡°Thank you for the Yuan Enhancement Pills you delivered last time. Why did you come personally today? Any new assignments?¡±


    Standing behind the visitor, Yuan Hongyuan had a calm expression but was constantly muttering inside, worrying that it would be another assassination assignment on the chief of Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Do you remember your fight with Chen Guixian?¡±


    The question startled Yuan Hongyuan. Those with less experience might have thought their made-up story was exposed, but Yuan Hongyuan had a well-prepared story about his ¡°great battle¡± with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°The pain and injuries inflicted by his domineering Sword Qi, I will never forget it in my life. If I get the chance, I would love to experience his moves again.¡±


    ¡°Good, I¡¯ll give you that opportunity!¡±


    As soon as the visitor replied, a stunned Yuan Hongyuan nearly lost his composure.


    [I was just saying it, don¡¯t take it seriously!]


    News about the grand battle between Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain had already spread throughout Eastern Wilderness.


    Chen Mobai, the most eye-catching person in the war who slew three Foundation Establishment experts, one of which was Mu Hanxiong, a famous Peak Master from Shake Mountain, as well as bravely dived into the territory of Rock Country to duel Ji Dingjin, the second-in-command of Shake Mountain, resulting in a draw.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    All these remarkable achievements had elevated Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation as the second sword of Eastern Wilderness.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s fame on the rise, Yuan Hongyuan, who once drew a fight with him and was mutually wounded, also found his status in the organization following suit. Even though they knew he did not rely on strength for cultivation, they acknowledged his outstanding battle skill.


    The organization had insiders in Divine Wood Sect and learned that Chen Mobai might become the Town Guard of Founding Nation. He would surely need to patrol the neighboring markets around Giant Tree Ridge.


    They wondered if they could take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate this most brilliant talent the Divine Wood Sect had produced since its split.


    However, when others in the organization learned who the target was, they all found excuses to avoid it.

 Chapter 472 - Chapter 472: Chapter 333 Foundation Establishment Perfection _2

    Chapter 472: Chapter 333 Foundation Establishment Perfection _2


    It wasn¡¯t a lack of time, but the critical moments of seclusion, or the moments when crafting artifacts or refining pills made leaving impossible.


    After finding no other choices, the organization could only assign personnel.


    Among them, Yuan Hongyuan was the key powerhouse.


    ¡°Rest assured, the organization has arranged for you four other Foundation Establishment cultivators this time. Moreover, an ambush will be set up in advance with formations. As long as you can kill Chen Guixian, all the cultivation methods for the subsequent practice of the ¡®Black Cloud Mist Technique¡¯ till the mid-stage of Core Formation will be given to you.¡±


    After the condition was stated, Yuan Hongyuan still remained silent.


    He was thinking of a tactful way to decline.


    Although he yearned for the subsequent cultivation techniques, what Yuan Hongyuan wanted more was his own life and the preservation of his Yuan family at Black Cloud Mountain.


    Yuan Hongyuan himself would not be easily swayed. He knew that if he really faced Chen Mobai, he would probably be defeated in a single sword strike by the latter.


    He felt that the wisest decision he made in his life was to abandon the plunder at that time.


    Otherwise, he would probably have been a corpse four years ago.


    Given that it concerned his own life and the lives of his entire clan, Yuan Hongyuan gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth.


    ¡°Well, actually¡­¡±


    ¡°I know that Chen Guixian is extremely formidable. Even if you break through, you do not have complete confidence. However, the organization has taken your predicament into consideration and specially allowed me to bring you a Huangquan Holy Fruit.¡±


    ¡°Huangquan Holy Fruit!? Is it a medium fruit?¡±


    Yuan Hongyuan, who was about to lay his cards on the table, froze upon hearing this. The words that were about to come rushing out of his mouth were swallowed back.


    ¡°That¡¯s correct, the Huangquan Holy Fruit given to you by the organization is naturally taking into consideration that it would be most effective once you¡¯ve broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    The organization they belonged to was known as ¡°Huangquan¡±. Aside from Foundation Building Pills, the Huangquan Holy Fruit was what attracted loose cultivators the most.


    This holy fruit came in three grades: small, medium, and large, which after consumption could directly cause a breakthrough in one¡¯s cultivation realm.


    Yuan Hongyuan was currently at mid Foundation Establishment. If he took the Huangquan Holy Fruit that was of medium grade, he could directly break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, saving a hundred years of Qi cultivation practice.


    Therefore, upon hearing that he could actually obtain such a spiritual object, Yuan Hongyuan immediately retracted his idea of backing down.


    Additionally, a long-slumbering ambition deep within his heart slowly began to revive.


    After consuming the holy fruit, he would be at late Foundation Establishment stage. With a lifespan of a hundred years to come, was there not a glimmer of hope for Core Formation?


    Yuan Hongyuan, who had previously intended to lie low and protect his family¡¯s legacy, suddenly felt that he might not hesitate to take a gamble.


    ¡°The organization treated me as if I am owing it a great debt of gratitude. It was thanks to the support of the organization that I was able to establish my family on Black Cloud Mountain. Now that there is such a difficult task at hand, I naturally shall spare no consideration of my own safety.¡±


    As he reached here, Yuan Hongyuan began to put on an act again. He stroked his black beard, his face full of confidence.


    ¡°Once my cultivation has reached its peak, that evenly-matched battle four years ago can finally be decided in a life-or-death showdown.¡±


    The Huangquan¡¯s contact person listened to this and nodded in satisfaction. He then took out a sealed box from his storage bag and handed it to Yuan Hongyuan.


    ¡°Peacefully cultivate, await my command.¡±


    With that, the person transformed into a spiritual light and disappeared into Black Cloud Mountain.


    After listening to the taboos concerning the consumption of Huangquan Holy Fruit, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s face changed slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of hesitation.


    ¡­


    Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai slowly opened his eyes. His bright and clear vision shimmered like two sharp swords, cutting open the surrounding clouds and mists.


    He raised his right hand. Five fingers gently clenched, the fingertips flashing with green bright thunder light, condensing into a thunder light glow in his palm.


    As Chen Mobai raised his hand, the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, like a green light pillar, pierced through all the fog at the top of Xiao Nanshan.


    Looking from afar, it was as if a giant light tree connecting heaven and earth had sprouted from the top of the mountain. It swept through the colorful misty clouds, shattered the thick clouds into steam, yet suppressed all the snow and ice flowers. All atmospheric phenomena dissipated into smoke around the green thunder light tree.


    The power of this Yi Wood Divine Thunder had surpassed Chen Mobai¡¯s usual Purple Fire Sword Light and even faintly exhibited the might of a Rank-3.


    Is this the power of a technique deployed after reaching Perfect Foundation Establishment?


    Indeed, the realm forms the basis of everything.


    After feeling this, Chen Mobai revealed a satisfied smile.


    He clenched his right hand into a fist, wanting to withdraw this Yi Wood Divine Thunder, but found it somewhat difficult to control.


    Inout of no other choice, he slowly dissipated the power of this spell, and it took about half a moment before the green bright thunder light in his palm obediently shrank back, like flowing water, it returned to the Qi Sea of his Dantian through his fingertips.


    He closed his eyes again and carefully felt the 180 drops of liquid Longevity Spiritual Power that filled the Qi Sea in his Dantian. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but curl his mouth into a grin and burst out laughing.


    After downgrading a large fruit with the help of the magical artifact equipment in the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai wasted no time and immediately packed everything and returned to Xiao Nanshan.


    Having had the experience of taking the Longevity Tree Fruit for the first time, the energy of the second fruit was even more surging and torrential, but he still controlled the balance very well.


    However, when he took the last large fruit, Chen Mobai felt his power inadequate.


    After all, his Divine Sense realm is only at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment, controlling the power of the late Foundation Establishment was indeed hard work.


    Fortunately, he had anticipated such a situation, having simulated it in advance with the No-Phase puppet.


    Therefore, he used his life¡¯s magical artifact, Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, as a transfer point in his Dantian Qi Sea. It took nearly two months to gradually refine the energy of the tree fruit, and finally today he cultivated the Longevity Immortality Scripture to the fourteenth realm.


    That is, Perfection of Foundation Establishment, 180 drops of liquid spiritual power.


    This seemed to be the limit of this cultivation technique, and even the abundant Innate Yuan Qi of Chen Mobai could not exceed it.


    But for him, this was enough.


    After all, it saved a hundred years of painstaking cultivation.


    Next, he just needed to concentrate on the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Once the Pure Yang Scroll reached the Perfection of Foundation Establishment, he could attempt Core Formation.


    Speaking of which, it seemed that he could also start preparing to obtain the Gold Core Spiritual Material.


    The Immortal School had too many rules and regulations, but it was not the same in the Tianhe Realm. As long as there were enough Spirit Stones, it was basically possible to gather one or two.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, there is the ¡°Void Rushing Immortal Ganoderma.¡± Meng Hong had cut a piece to eat raw when forming his core.


    If he wanted to form his core, and applied, the two elders should be willing to give it to him.


    But what Chen Mobai wanted was more, he wanted to collect a furnace of Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill materials in the Tianhe Realm. If that¡¯s not possible, then both Wood Element Gold Core and Fire Element Gold Core are also acceptable.


    In the past, he felt that Core Formation was still far from him, and he was not yet accomplished in the realm, so Chen Mobai only thought about it in his mind and did not put it into action.


    But now, he could give it a try.


    However, before that, there was one more thing to do.


    Chen Mobai took out a Message Talisman and called for the two disciples below the mountain to come up.


    In no time, Zhang Ming and Luo Yixuan walked through the Cloud Mist Array and arrived.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw the look of surprise in their eyes and thought of something. He stroked his hair and saw that it had lost all of its lustre. He pulled out a strand, and the roots were already all white.


    He took out the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and saw that he looked much older, and that there were faint wrinkles on his forehead.


    Moreover, all the new hair growing from the roots was already all white. Only the part that was dyed two months ago was still black, which showed that the dye used by the hair salon was fine, and the colour didn¡¯t fade.


    ¡°Your master has been practicing a forbidden technique in seclusion. You must keep secret about what you see during this period.¡±


    ¡°Yes, master.¡±


    ¡°Ming, go to Small Yang Ridge and bring back all those ordinary people and Qi Cultivation disciples of the sect. The batches of Spirit Rice at the foot of the mountain are about to mature, and you can¡¯t handle it alone.¡±

    Zhao Ming received the order and left immediately.


    Luo Yixuan stood obediently in the same place, not asking why he hadn¡¯t sent her. She was the one who had originally moved those people from Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°Xuan, your master remembers that you have a secret technique to hide your cultivation level.¡±


    The moment Chen Mobai spoke, Luo Yixuan swiftly took out a small booklet from her storage bag and respectfully handed it to him.


    ¡°Master, this is the ¡®Returning Essence Secret Technique¡¯ that I accidentally obtained at the Yun Country Fang Market.¡±

 Chapter 473 - Chapter 473: Chapter 334: Gold Core Domain_1

    Chapter 473: Chapter 334: Gold Core Domain_1


    Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness tend to be mature and independent at an early age.


    Before joining the Divine Wood Sect, Luo Yixuan spent some time in her family¡¯s shop in the Fang Market, which was a bookstore. The store primarily sold books on the customs, catches, introduction to various cultivation powers in the immortal cultivation world, as well as a small amount of mainstream cultivation techniques, hundred arts of immortal cultivation, and techniques.


    This Returning Essence Secret Technique was brought in by a destitute loose cultivator who wanted to exchange it for some spirit stones.


    Luo Yixuan happened to be on duty at that time. After reading it, she found it good, so she purchased it with the five spirit stones she had privately saved. She made the destitute loose cultivator take a vow not to sell it to anyone else.


    Since she was the only one in the store at that time, Luo Yixuan kept the booklet of the Returning Essence Secret Technique and cultivated it in secret.


    Chen Mobai found this secret technique rather interesting.


    Initially, Luo Yixuan concealed her cultivation level, and all the Foundation Establishment cultivators who had contact with her did not see through it.


    Chen Mobai, due to the achievement of his Void Spirit Eye, just happened to feel that Luo Yixuan¡¯s use of spells during the competition was strange and out of sync. After careful observation, he saw through her.


    After finishing reading the booklet, he discovered that there were three layers to the Returning Essence Secret Technique.


    The first layer was Luo Yixuan¡¯s level, concealing one¡¯s own spiritual energy fluctuations, revealing cultivation level that could mislead others.


    However, if one encounters cultivators with spirit eyes or are extremely mindful with powerful divine sense, they can still see through the disguise and perceive the real cultivation level.


    The second layer, however, was different. It involved leaving only the amount of spiritual power in one¡¯s dantian and Qi Sea that corresponds to the cultivation realm one wants to reveal. The rest of the excess spiritual power is hidden in one¡¯s own magic artifacts.


    In this way, unless one exposes oneself or one encounters those with special secret techniques that can sense cultivation realms, no one can see through it.


    The final third layer was a bit mysterious.


    It spoke of hiding the spiritual power one did not want to reveal in the heaven and earth outside of one¡¯s body. In this way, no one can see through it, but to accomplish this layer, one first needs to establish a small void.


    It¡¯s like carrying a spiritual power pool with you, drawing it out and returning it to the dantian and Qi Sea when you need it, and hiding it in the small void when you don¡¯t.


    [This is very similar to the JinDan Domain in the Immortal Sect.]


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    Golden Core cultivators in the Immortal Sect have a significant achievement of refining their own small space.


    This small space can be used for storage, fighting, and even dwelling.


    The reason for this Golden Core Domain is said to be because during the earliest period of the boundary war, Di Yuan Star was connected to a different world. However, the living environment there was completely different from that of the ordinary spiritual world, and the spiritual energy contained in the void was deadly poison for the cultivators.


    As a result, when the doors in between the two realms were opened, the powerful forces of the Different World could brazenly enter Di Yuan Star; however, the cultivators of the Immortal Sect could only guard their homeland, which was very passive.


    Therefore, while resisting the intrusion of the Different World, the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect gathered all the top talents to study how to solve this problem.


    The power of the collective is strong, and soon, ¡°Domain¡± was studied and discovered.


    By refining a small space, cultivators could set the air and environment in this domain to their advantage. It could also be used to store items and magic artifacts. Then they could wrap themselves in the domain to isolate the deadly poison of the Different World.


    However, not everyone could refine the Domain. It required strong spiritual power to open it and then enough divine sense to control it.


    Moreover, it must be in a void environment because the void is the purest there and easier to open. It also required the assistance of the highest inheritance treasure of the Immortal Sect, the ¡°Domain Door.¡±


    Generally, only Golden Core cultivators can open a Domain.


    That¡¯s why people in the Immortal Sect call it the ¡°Golden Core Domain¡±.


    Of course, there are also occasional rare exceptions. Some can establish a Domain before core formation.


    Such a person is one in a million and truly an exceptional genius.


    In this generation in the Immortal Sect, there were only two.


    One was Lan Haitian, and the other was Yan Bingxuan¡¯s aunt.


    However, because Lan Haitian was the face of Kunpeng Daoist Institute, and due to his numerous achievements, and having never tasted defeat since his debut, his reputation is greater. Therefore, he is hailed as the first Foundation Establishment in the Immortal Sect.


    And Yan Qiongzhi is more low-key, so her fame is not as prominent, but those in the high ranks of the Immortal Sect know her.


    However, unlike Lan Haitian, who has served as a cultivator for the Immortal Sect toiling away for sixty years and now has a Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, Yan Qiongzhi has always been at the Nature Studies Academy. Therefore, she could only obtain a Water Element Gold Core Pill.


    If she were to form the core, there might be risks.


    Chen Mobai thought of this after finishing reading the Returning Essence Secret Technique.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Golden Core cultivators in the Tianhe Realm don¡¯t have this kind of Domain.


    Therefore, when he saw the third layer of the Returning Essence Secret Technique, which seemed to have the same goal by a different route, he couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    Indeed, the thoughts of geniuses are similar. The cultivator in the Tianhe Realm who created this secret technique was extraordinary.


    It¡¯s just a pity that the small book is so vague about the cultivation method of the third layer. It only talks about the situation after practicing it.


    Chen Mobai was once again infuriated by the way knowledge was passed down in the Tianhe Realm. The person who created this secret technique must have been able to practice the third layer and even wrote it down. Hence, there must be a unique method of cultivation, but it is not written down.

 Chapter 474 - Chapter 474: Chapter 334: Gold Core Domain_2

    Chapter 474: Chapter 334: Gold Core Domain_2


    How to practice? Figure it out yourself!


    ¡°Xuan, could you find out the origin of this Returning Essence Secret Technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked his young disciple, Luo Yixuan, who nodded and shared her speculation.


    ¡°There¡¯s a Guiyuan Sect in the Ming Nation. Although now it¡¯s in decline, it had produced Golden Core cultivators a thousand years ago. I suspect this secret technique might have originated from them.¡±


    Ming Nation, among the nineteen nations of the Eastern Wilderness, is under the jurisdiction of the Earth Vein of the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°If you have time, gather some information about this Guiyuan Sect.¡±


    After instructing Luo Yixuan, Chen Mobai dismissed her.


    He was about to start practicing the Returning Essence Secret Technique.


    Initially, he only wanted to learn it for reference. Because cultivators from the immortal world highly value their privacy, they do not practice spells that could hide their cultivation levels.


    This kind of cultivation technique for hiding cultivation level is rare because they don¡¯t usually worry about it.


    On the contrary, in the Tianhe Realm, those who can, often practice such a spell, using it as a mean of fishing and counter-fishing.


    So there are many such spells; the Divine Wood Sect itself has collected several.


    Unexpectedly, this Returning Essence Secret Technique brought by Luo Yixuan is excellent and very suitable for Chen Mobai.


    Although he is merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he possesses a magic artifact tied to his life.


    He could hide the Longevity Spiritual Power within the Six Sun Divine Fire Mirror.


    With his current realm, practicing such a secret technique is easy as pie.


    After ten days, he, who has been taking Longevity Elixirs while practicing the Returning Essence Secret Technique, quickly mastered the first layer.


    However, just as he was preparing to smoothly master the second layer, he ran into a minor obstacle.


    The Six Sun Divine Fire Mirror is fire-attributed, it finds the wood-attributed spiritual power delicious. After the liquid Longevity Spiritual Power was injected, there was an instinctive eager reaction, as if it wanted to consume it.


    After employing the bodiless doll for deduction and trial-and-error, Chen Mobai found a solution. Using his divine sense to suppress the fluctuations of the magic artifact, he wrapped the Longevity Spiritual Power with it, similar to a domain, and then hid it within the Six Sun Divine Fire Mirror.


    Luckily, as all these powers belonged to him, only a tiny bit of his divine sense was needed for this operation.


    With his current divine sense, he could maintain this for two to three months.


    But such long-term depletion is not ideal; he pondered if he could have another wood or water-attributed magic artifact tied to his life.


    Generally, only Golden Core cultivators could create life-bound magic artifacts, referred to as ¡°Legal Treasures¡± in the Tianhe Realm.


    Of course, there are some special methods to attain this.


    The Immortal Sect side has a series of artifact cultivation techniques derived from ¡°The Union of Differences¡±.


    In Tianhe Realm, while Chen Mobai was choosing cultivation techniques for Zhuo Ming, he had come across the ¡°Mountain Chasing Decree¡±, the spell used to cultivate ¡®Overturning Stamp¡¯, which counts as a magic artifact tied to one¡¯s life.


    However, Tianhe Realm¡¯s artifact cultivation techniques are slightly different from those of the Immortal Sect.


    While the Immortal Sect¡¯s ¡°The Union of Differences¡± line advocates using artifacts to cultivate people, the Tianhe Realm, due to the value of magic artifacts, practices people cultivating artifacts. This method has a reputation for being wasteful, forcing cultivators to nurture their magic artifacts¡¯ progression while also advancing their own cultivation. It could become extraordinarily troublesome.


    However, Chen Mobai isn¡¯t worried about wastage. As his status within the Divine Wood Sect continues to rise, resources like Spirit Stones are increasingly accessible. Now that he¡¯s fully accomplished at the Foundation Establishment level with the Immortality Cultivation Technique, he could afford to cultivate another life-bound magic artifact.


    But it¡¯s a decision for another day.


    As a life-bound magic artifact is of grave importance, if its embryo is not chosen carefully in the beginning, and it could only reach a low rank due to the initial limitations of the materials, it would have been better not to cultivate it.


    Hence, the cultivation technique for magic artifacts in Tianhe Realm puts significant importance on leaving enough room for growth while creating the magic artifact¡¯s embryo.


    It shouldn¡¯t say Rank-4, Rank-5, but at least it should ensure the capability of upgrading to Rank-3.


    But Chen Mobai, who believes he has a bright future, thought that Rank-3 might not be his limit.


    But he¡¯s not too demanding either, he just wants a magical treasure embryo that can be upgraded to Rank-4.


    Of course, if one could reach a higher rank, that would be better.


    After another ten-day period and ingesting all the Longevity Elixirs, Chen Mobai finally stores 130 drops of Longevity Spiritual Power into the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and officially announces the end of his reclusive training.


    He stands atop the mountain, full of vigor and enthusiasm, overlooking the bustling Xiao Nanshan below.


    As it¡¯s already autumn, Zhuo Ming has started leading ordinary people and low-level Qi Cultivation disciples in the harvest of various types of Spirit Rice. Not only is Luo Yixuan helping, but even Liu Wenbo, who is recuperating his elemental energy, is present.


    Everyone in Xiao Nanshan knew about Chen Mobai¡¯s importance he places on farming. Every time the Spirit Rice was harvested, as long as he wasn¡¯t in reclusive training, he would personally partake in it.


    So, in the past few years, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming have never missed this Spirit Rice harvest season. Even Luo Yixuan, who is quite shrewd, quickly picked up on this after becoming a disciple and has been present every time.


    Witnessing this scene from atop the mountain, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel greatly satisfied.


    At least he has influenced those around him to appreciate agriculture, and his talent for farming was not wasted in this world.


    After going back to his immortal abode to dye his hair again, Chen Mobai descends the mountain.


    ¡°Wen Bo, if your elemental energy hasn¡¯t fully recovered, you don¡¯t need to come over for the harvest.¡±


    After Chen Mobai descended the mountain, the three disciples came to greet him without delay.


    ¡°As a disciple, I tend to grow sluggish after long periods of secluded training. I thought this would be a good time to be active.¡±


    Liu Wenbo replied respectfully. His complexion had returned to its usual rosiness, but Chen Mobai sensed that his vitality and cultivation realm had not yet fully recovered.


    ¡°Ha ha, that¡¯s fine. The four of us haven¡¯t gathered together for quite a while. Today after the harvest, let¡¯s all go to the mountain to keep me company over a drink.¡±


    Over the years, Chen Mobai has increasingly embodied the poise of a master.


    Laughing heartily after he finishes speaking, he walks over to a field of golden rice. He picks a heavy bundle of rice stalks and, with a face full of satisfaction, plucks a grain of Spirit Rice.


    Feeling the abundant elemental energy within the full grain, he knows it¡¯s another good harvest this year.


    ¡°Zhuo Ming, you did a good job.¡±


    Chen Mobai compliments Zhuo Ming, which makes her a bit bashful and blushes, but she doesn¡¯t forget to be modest.


    ¡°Big brother and little sister also helped a lot. If they hadn¡¯t summoned the rain, we wouldn¡¯t have this great yield.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan immediately refused the credit, saying that they merely made a slight contribution, and that Zhuo Ming was the one who really worked hard.


    ¡°Very well, seeing you three have such a good relationship makes me very happy.¡±


    Chen Mobai shakes the bundle of rice stalks in his hand with satisfaction, and in a blink of an eye, an invisible Sword Qi whips out, sweeping across the Spirit Field in front of him.


    The Sword Qi precisely avoids all living creatures, only cutting the rice stalks.


    With his help, the harvest of all the Spirit Fields is quickly completed. However, the subsequent processes of collecting, hulling, storing, and even brewing need to be done manually.


    Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t do everything by himself and leaves the arrangement to Zhuo Ming.


    In the evening, the four disciples enjoy drinks and merriment on the peak of Xiao Nanshan.


    Even the always modest Liu Wenbo gets drunk and ends up collapsing onto the table and falling asleep.


    A rosy flush covers Luo Yixuan¡¯s delicate and exquisite face, making her beautiful eyes even more bewitching. She suddenly transforms from a reserved lady of nobility into a charming young girl, radiating charm.


    Apparently, the new wine is strong. Luo Yixuan stood up, bit her luscious lips, and walked towards Chen Mobai intending to propose a toast, but suddenly her eyes glazed over and she fell.


    ¡°Zhuo Ming, I never expected you to hold your liquor the best.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai stretches out his hand to catch his young disciple, turns his head, and sees that Zhuo Ming¡¯s cheeks are slightly flushed, but her eyes remain clear.


    ¡°Master, let me handle it.¡±


    Normally seated behind her own table, Zhuo Ming quickly gets up upon seeing Luo Yixuan¡¯s drunken state and comes over to take Luo Yixuan from Chen Mobai¡¯s hands.


    ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s call it a night. Take Yixuan down with you. Wen Bo can stay and rest on the mountain tonight.¡±


    The more Chen Mobai looks at Zhuo Ming, the more he feels she¡¯s suited to inherit his mantle. He smiles and praises her a few times.

 Chapter 475 - Chapter 475: Chapter 335: Secret_1

    Chapter 475: Chapter 335: Secret_1


    After the harvest, Yan Jinye, accompanied by a group of disciples from the alchemy division, paid a visit.


    Over the past two years, her reputation skyrocketed within Divine Wood Sect, all thanks to the elixir recipe she acquired from Chen Mobai.


    For an alchemist, a strong start would launch them into a virtuous cycle.


    After experimenting with over a dozen batches of medicinal herbs, Yan Jinye finally discovered the knack and produced mature pills.


    Given the Tianhe Realm¡¯s indifferent attitude towards elixir toxicity, the pills Yan Jinye had refined, aimed at increasing one¡¯s cultivation level, quickly promoted throughout the Divine Wood Sect via the alchemy division.


    The elixir formulas of immortal cultivation sects, perfected through countless modifications and clinical tests, were undoubtedly far superior to common elixirs available in the market, showing an effectiveness around 20-30% higher.


    Every batch of elixirs refined by Yan Jinye was promptly sold out.


    ¡°Congratulations, junior sister. You¡¯re now known as the top female alchemist in our sect. I heard that Director Zeng is considering retiring and letting you take over his position,¡± Chen Mobai said cheerfully on the top of Xiao Nanshan, pouring Yan Jinye a cup of white wine.


    ¡°It isn¡¯t that easy. I do not have the experience of guarding four nations as he does. Besides, my master has been devoting to refining two batches of Foundation Building Pills for years, which has taken a lot of his cultivation time. He¡¯s complaining about it to the new sect leader currently,¡± Yan Jinye shook her head, explaining the situation. At this moment, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan also arrived.


    Zhuo Ming was there to take the alchemy division disciples, brought by Yan Jinye, to brew medicinal wine. Being already familiar with her, the two leaders didn¡¯t need to say much. After seeing her, they took leave from Chen Mobai and Yan Jinye immediately.


    Luo Yixuan stayed to serve by the side, mainly to help pour wine.


    ¡°Indeed, refining a batch of Foundation Building Pills requires a whole year of devotion. Director Zeng has worked hard indeed,¡± Chen Mobai understood it as he had previously heard the differences between the orthodox and demonic beast Foundation Building Pills, their only commonalities being the required steps and various medicinal herbs. Zeng Woyou lost at least two years of cultivation time due to alchemy.


    Chu Zuoshu had just assumed office. His prestige wasn¡¯t as high as Meng Hong¡¯s yet. It was no wonder that Zeng Woyou took this opportunity to strike.


    ¡°Actually, my master isn¡¯t really considering retirement. He¡¯s negotiating terms with the new sect leader. He wants to refine the orthodox Foundation Building Pills,¡± once they were alone after Zhuo Ming had taken the miscellaneous disciples down the mountain, Yan Jinye naturally revealed Zeng Woyou¡¯s real plan.


    Luo Yixuan, standing beside them, was slightly surprised to hear this news.


    ¡°Huh, weren¡¯t all previous batches handed over to the Back to Sky Valley for refining?¡±


    The medicinal fields of Divine Wood Sect could harvest ten Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms, essential for refining Foundation Building Pills, every decade. Subtracting the three provided to Golden Cliff, the remaining seven, along with other supplementary medicines, would be assigned to Back to Sky Valley for processing.


    As the top alchemy faction in the Eastern Wilderness, Back to Sky Valley could guarantee five or six successful pills per batch.


    Even if Back to Sky Valley took one pill per batch as refinement expenses, Divine Wood Sect could still ensure approximately 30 Foundation Building Pills fell into their hands.


    These pills would be provided first to the descendants of Foundation Establishment cultivators who died in battle for the sect or to cultivating families that contributed to Divine Wood Sect.


    For instance, in the recent war against Mountain Shaker Peak, Bao from Lei Nation died in battle. Chu Zuoshu promised a compensation of one Foundation Building Pill.


    This related to Divine Wood Sect¡¯s reputation. Even if it meant not providing it to sect disciples, that pill must be personally handed to Bao Qiyuan, the successor of Bao family.


    Besides Bao Qiyuan¡¯s pill, Chu Zuoshu also promised Lian Chenghai and other three major cultivating families in Lei Nation that they could purchase a Foundation Building Pill from Divine Wood Sect anytime. If they demanded after this batch was manufactured, they would certainly receive priority.


    After all, it was about the new sect leader¡¯s reputation.


    Five Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect died in the recent war against Mountain Shaker Peak. The five-pill expense must be considered to boost morale.


    Therefore, it was highly probable that not all True Disciples could exchange a Foundation Building Pill this time when Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms ripened.


    Those ranked at the bottom could potentially miss out if their luck wasn¡¯t favorable, and might have to wait for the next batch.


    ¡°With the advancement in age, master isn¡¯t hoping for any breakthrough in his cultivation level now. He¡¯s mainly thinking about refining different types of pills. Having refined four batches of Demonic Beast Foundation Building Pills already, he feels he has grasped the skills to refine Foundation Building Pills and wants to try an orthodox batch,¡± Yan Jinye explained. After listening, Chen Mobai nodded intuitively.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°What¡¯s the sect leader¡¯s opinion on this?¡±


    ¡°No response yet, which is why master is a bit upset. He proposed that since he¡¯s getting old, he wants to retreat and focus on understanding the path to form a Gold Core, along with the previous Sect Leader. The rumour that I was taking over his position as the head of the alchemy division spread from there,¡± Yan Jinye revealed the truth about the situation after which Chen Mobai subtly shook his head.


    Having just assumed the role of Sect Leader, Chu Zuoshu got into a slightly irretrievable situation because of Zeng Woyou¡¯s actions.


    ¡°Senior brother, the sect leader certainly won¡¯t back down, and my master finds it hard to back off after saying those words. Looks like we need someone to mediate between the two,¡± Yan Jinye suddenly said something that surprised Chen Mobai while he was pondering.


    Luo Yixuan, on the side, also picked up the implications in Yan Jinye¡¯s words and looked up in surprise.

 Chapter 476 - Chapter 476: Chapter 335: Secret_2

    Chapter 476: Chapter 335: Secret_2


    ¡°Junior Sister, even though I used to be under the Sect Leader, I am still a part of the Reward Virtue Hall. Without the Sect Leader¡¯s summons, it would not be appropriate for me to ask him for an audience.¡±


    After all, he is a sword cultivator known for his aloof personality.


    ¡°Senior Brother, I have no choice. The former Sect Leader has closed himself off, and the Master is unwilling to find someone he is familiar with to negotiate with the Sect Leader. As his disciple, I am the one who has to worry about this.¡±


    Yan Jinye said ruefully. With neither Chu Zuoshu nor Zeng Woyou willing to back down, she came to Chen Mobai for help under Lu Yi¡¯s guidance from the Transmission Department, using the brewing process as an excuse.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Senior Brother Yue is still in Lei Nation as a substitute Town Guard. Otherwise, he would be the best candidate.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of Yue Zutao. As Chu Zuoshu¡¯s direct disciple, even though his cultivation realm was locked in by the Tree Fruit, he had always been Chu Zuoshu¡¯s closest disciple and most trusted aide.


    ¡°Have you tried reaching out to Senior Brother Sun from the Spirit Plant Department?¡±


    Sun Gaochang was also Chu Zuoshu¡¯s person, and Chen Mobai felt that he was more qualified for this task.


    ¡°Inspector Sun met me, but he hinted that it would be best if my Master took the initiative to apologize.¡±


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai¡¯s face revealed understanding. Sun Gaochang had clearly made his alliance apparent ¨C he was on the new Sect Leader¡¯s side.


    ¡°Minister Zeng gave me a hand before. I can try testing the waters at the Sect Leader¡¯s place, but I will not make things difficult for him. You should be prepared for this.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yan Jinye nodded in understanding.


    ¡°I will also go back and persuade the Master again. Senior Brother, this is a small token of appreciation.¡±


    Before she left, Yan Jinye handed him a jade box.


    When Chen Mobai opened it, he saw three ripe Bamboo Fruits.


    ¡°Junior Sister is thoughtful, however, since the matter is not yet resolved, it would be inappropriate for me to accept such a reward. Consider these Bamboo Fruits as something I¡¯ve purchased.¡±


    Chen Mobai took out a thousand Spirit Stones from his storage bag, but Yan Jinye shook her head and did not accept them.


    ¡°Senior Brother, I initially wanted to give you some pills that enhance cultivation, but I just finished repaying my Master¡¯s Spirit Stones this year. I also spent a lot on materials to practice new alchemy formulas, hence I traded all the pills I refined for Spirit Stones to pay off my debt. Next year, when I finish refining the batch of Beneficial Yuan Pills, I will thank you again.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai shook his head even faster. He wasn¡¯t interested in these pills.


    ¡°Well, for now, I will accept it. By the way, Junior Sister, when Xuan became my disciple, the Luo family gave me a Camelweed. How can this Rank-3 medicinal herb be used most effectively?¡±


    Although the Rank-3 medicinal herb was well preserved, Chen Mobai was worried that its efficacy would diminish over time.


    He hadn¡¯t had the time before, but now that he had completed the Foundation Establishment of the Immortality Scripture, he had time to deal with it.


    ¡°If it¡¯s just one plant, you can grind it with some adjuvant herbs into a paste to strengthen certain parts of the body. I heard that some Senior Brothers from the Sword Training Department use it to enhance the flexibility and strength of their fingers. The Symbolization Department apparently has a recipe to make a very vivid red ink with this herb.¡±


    At first, Chen Mobai had some inappropriate thoughts after hearing this, which made Luo Yixuan blush and lower her gaze.


    ¡°I see, it is mainly used for Body Forging.¡±


    [It¡¯s not much different from the Immortal Sect methods.]


    The Immortal Sect¡¯s Camelweed is known as the Ancient Duduo Lotus. Chen Mobai had asked Qing Nu about it before. It could be used to refine pills that improve stamina, vitality, and physical strength.


    After Yan Jinye left, Chen Mobai finished the wine in his hand. Just as he was about to leave to visit the new Sect Leader, Chu Zuoshu, Luo Yixuan suddenly refilled his empty cup of wine.


    ¡°Master, judging from Uncle Yan¡¯s words, to secure the Foundation Building Pill this time, it seems necessary to enter the top twenty of the real transmission,¡±


    Luo Yixuan¡¯s small face looked worried, and Chen Mobai naturally started to give advice without noticing his disciple¡¯s concern.


    ¡°You have already reached the perfection of Qi Cultivation rank nine. As long as your experience in Magic Duel is sufficient, there¡¯s no problem entering the top ten. Well, there are six years left. Whenever I¡¯m free, you can come to the mountain, and I¡¯ll teach you some techniques of the Magic Duel.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, master.¡±


    Luo Yixuan immediately changed her worries into happiness. Her bright eyes were suddenly shining, just like a sunny day after rain.


    ¡°When you come up, bring Wen Bo and Zhuo Ming along. This way, I can teach the three of you at the same time.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s following words greatly diminished Luo Yixuan¡¯s joy.


    After Chen Mobai, driving the Red Misty Cloud Silk, disappeared into the sky, Luo Yixuan, somewhat displeased, stomped her foot and raised the jug in her hand directly to her red lips, emptying it with a ¡°gulp-gulp¡±.


    After drinking, she wiped the wine stains at the corner of her mouth. Her white, chubby cheeks were flushed, but her eyes were crystal clear. Her mouth slightly pouted, as if reproaching herself for being too clever for her own good.


    ¡­


    ¡°Your family makes really good wine.¡±


    In a side hall of Shenmu Hall, Chu Zuoshu, with a tired face, let out a long sigh of relief after finishing the clear wine Cheng Mobai brought.


    ¡°If Sect Leader wants to drink in the future, just give a heads up. I¡¯ll have a disciple bring it.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt as if his wine shop mirrored an Immortal Cultivation teashop. Due to the hybrid Spirit Rice varieties, each type of Spirit Rice Brew varied in taste depending on the weather and medicinal materials used. So, every time a new wine was introduced, it felt like opening a mysterious box.


    Whenever he brought new wine to others, it was basically a new flavor. This novelty was appealing to those like Chu Zuoshu in the Eastern Wilderness, who were used to just a few tastes of mild yellow wine.


    However, among Qi Cultivation disciples, the most popular was the classic one that enhanced Cultivation Level and Divine Sense.


    ¡°I see, I understand brother Zeng¡¯s concern. Foundation Building Pill is one of the lifebloods of the sect, and it¡¯s best to keep it in our own hands.¡±


    After hearing the reason why Chen Mobai came to him, Chu Zuoshu sighed and voiced another reason, not the most honorable one.


    ¡°Being an Alchemist is the richest among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, and over the years, Back to Sky Valley has relied on alchemy and the cultivation of rank-3 Spirit Rice to accumulate spirit stones and wealth. If all these are used to enhance the overall power of Back to Sky Valley, even the biggest Five Elements Sect in the Eastern Wilderness may not necessarily surpass them.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, our Divine Wood Sect gives Foundation Building Pill and other elixirs to Back to Sky Valley to refine. Besides their high success rate, we also aim to impede Yan Shaoyin and others¡¯ cultivation by involving them in alchemy.¡±


    ¡°This was actually the policy of the Five Elements Sect back then. At that time, the Hun Yuan Ancient Ancestor was there, so we forcefully allocated the task of refining the Foundation Building Pill to Back to Sky Valley, and made them guarantee six Pills per batch. If not, Back to Sky Valley would have to compensate. This was done to pressure Yan Shaoyin, the best alchemist in the Eastern Wilderness in the last two centuries, into alchemy himself, so that his potential for further advancement would be hindered.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t treat Chen Mobai as an outsider, disclosing the real reason for letting Back to Sky Valley make the alchemy.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but admire the blatant law of survival of the fittest in the Immortal Cultivation world of the Tianhe Realm. It was impressive that Yan Shaoyin could put up with such conditions.

    ¡°In that case, why is Back to Sky Valley still willing to refine the Foundation Building Pills for our Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu gave a cold laugh and disclosed another secret.


    ¡°This was something Yan Shaoyin himself promised the Hun Yuan Ancient Ancestor. Although our Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff have separated from the Five Elements Sect, we still maintain a tacit understanding on suppressing other major factions in the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    ¡°After the Ancient Ancestor¡¯s demise, Yan Shaoyin wanted to tear up the treaty. Even joining forces with the Snow-blowing Palace, Liu Jia Mountain, Shake Mountain Peak, and even enlisted the support of the big business firm in Star Heaven. But, the five Core Formation real people of our Five Elements Sect fought them in five battles, with three wins and two losses.¡±


    ¡°However, since our Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff have separated from the Five Elements Sect, and we no longer have the support of the Nascent Soul Ancient Ancestor. It¡¯s impossible to impose such stringent conditions on Yan Shaoyin anymore. So it turned into the current situation: the Foundation Building Pill is still refined by Back to Sky Valley, only guaranteeing at least five successful pills per batch.¡±

 Chapter 477 - Chapter 477: Chapter 336: In Front of the Dao Tree-1

    Chapter 477: Chapter 336: In Front of the Dao Tree-1


    ¡°Sect Leader, if we had asked Back to Sky Valley Alchemy to produce Foundation Establishment Pills before, truly it would have hindered Yan Shaoyin¡¯s cultivation. But now under these conditions, I¡¯m afraid it is probably of little consequence to him.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew Chu Zuoshu was receptive to advice, so he directly expressed his thoughts.


    When the Hun Yuan ancestor was alive, the Five Elements Sect demanded a harsh quota of Foundation Establishment Pills from Back to Sky Valley. Yan Shaoyin had to personally handle this, but now there are no more Nascent Soul Cultivators and the conditions have become much looser, so they can even use the materials they provide to nurture their own disciples.


    ¡°Indeed, since we split from the Five Elements Sect, Back to Sky Valley in just a few decades, has nurtured two Rank-3 Alchemists. If this continues, they might eventually surpass us.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Chu Zuoshu brought out the Back to Sky Valley scroll and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head after reading it.


    ¡°However, suppressing Back to Sky Valley and agreeing to Zeng Woyou¡¯s request to concoct orthodox Foundation Establishment Pills are two different things. If I concede on this matter, in the future will I have to step back every time any one of the people from the three halls or twelve departments tries to pull this kind of stunt?¡±


    The reason is still the same. Compared to suppressing Back to Sky Valley, Chu Zuoshu¡¯s top priority is to establish his prestige.


    Though he had held the Reward Virtue Hall for decades, he did not have as many flourishing disciples as Meng Hong. He held the position of sect leader because there were no other suitable candidates.


    At this crucial moment, Zeng Woyou suddenly stepped forward to challenge Chu Zuoshu, which naturally did not sit well with him.


    ¡°We only have Elder Brother Zeng as a Rank-3 Alchemist in the sect now. He even has to handle many tasks such as refining the elixirs for the two ancestors¡¯ daily use. If matters were to drag on and the two ancestors were to inquire about it, it could be disadvantageous to you, Sect Leader.¡±


    Chen Mobai worded his thoughts very tactfully, but Chu Zuoshu understood and couldn¡¯t help but furrow his brows.


    The reason the two ancestors chose him to be the successor was mainly for smooth transition. If Chu Zuoshu does well, he can accumulate contributions like Meng Hong, obtain Gold Core Spiritual Material with the power of the sect when the time is ripe, and then vacate his position for someone more capable.


    But if internal unrest were to occur from the start and disturb the two ancestors, even if he manages to resolve the issue later, his reputation in the Divine Wood Sect would probably take a significant hit.


    ¡°I can¡¯t possibly back down. If he¡¯s willing to admit his mistake publicly, I wouldn¡¯t mind giving him two furnace loads of orthodox Foundation Establishment Pills.¡±


    Upon hearing Chu Zuoshu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai knew that the words he planned to say next should resonate well.


    ¡°For the sake of the Sect Leader¡¯s dignity, the Seven Furnace loads of orthodox Foundation Establishment Pills that our sect asked Back to Sky Valley to refine should not be given to Elder Brother Zeng. However, if we can find other materials for several furnaces of Foundation Establishment Pills and give them to Elder Brother Zeng, I believe he would be more than willing to admit his mistake at the meeting of the three halls and twelve departments.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t quite understand what he meant, so he took a drink with a puzzled look on his face.


    ¡°Are you implying that we buy Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom and other medicinal materials in the name of the sect? Would that not be redundant, and I¡¯d actually be seen in an even worse light if we did that.¡±


    ¡°Sect Leader, don¡¯t we always have to give three Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms to Golden Cliff in each batch?¡±


    Chen Mobai gently reminded him, Chu Zuoshu was taken aback at first, then his expression cleared.


    ¡°Would Golden Cliff agree to this?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard Brother Sun Gaochang mention that whenever the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom matures, the Spirit Plant Division always prepares enough auxiliary medicine for ten furnaces to refine Foundation Establishment Pills at the same time and sends them to Back to Sky Valley. We collect the Foundation Establishment Pill and then deliver it. So long as the quantity isn¡¯t off, even if they find out, they won¡¯t say anything.¡±


    The Divine Wood Sect and the Golden Cliff, being sibling sects, always back each other in a fight. Whenever one is in trouble, the other essentially responds.


    For instance, in the war against the Mountain Shaker Peak this time, if Mo Douguang hadn¡¯t intervened, the Divine Wood Sect might have really lost.


    Thus, even though the Divine Wood Sect only needs to give Golden Cliff three Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms every ten years, because the sword cultivators of Golden Cliff only know how to fight and aren¡¯t proficient in farming or alchemy, the Divine Wood Sect helps them with the preparation of auxiliary medicine.


    Of course, Golden cliff also gives Spirit Stones, but considering the good relationship between the two sects, their exchanges are essentially half trade, half gift.

    Chen Mobai¡¯s idea is to let Zeng Woyou refine the three furnaces of Foundation Establishment Pills that were meant for Golden Cliff. Regardless of how many pills are successfully refined, they would make up for the shortfall in quantity.


    With these conditions, the latter would surely concede to Chu Zuoshu in the meeting.


    ¡°I understand your intention. However, we should first clear things up with Golden Cliff, as any trust can start to crumble from the smallest oversight. The disciples who are visiting Golden Cliff for exchange study will return next month. Jia Songyang, who is one of the twelve sword bearers of Golden Cliff and a pretty responsible individual, should be escorting them. I¡¯ll discuss this matter with him first.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Chen Mobai looked at Chu Zuoshu with renewed admiration. No wonder the two ancestors unanimously chose him as the sect leader. His management of interpersonal matters was certainly at an expert level.


    Then again, Chu Zuoshu also had similar thoughts about Chen Mobai, considering his understanding of human nature outstanding. The more Chu thought about it, he felt that this plan was extremely clever. It would not only enhance his prestige in the sect but also slowly liberate them from their reliance on Back to Sky Valley Alchemy.

 Chapter 478 - Chapter 478: Chapter 336: In Front of the Great Dao Tree_2

    Chapter 478: Chapter 336: In Front of the Great Dao Tree_2


    Suppressing the Back to Sky Valley was indeed the policy of the Five Elements Sect in the past, but after the death of the respected Hun Yuan, it was practically impossible to continue.


    The reason why the Divine Wood Sect still adheres to this practice is simply because when they initially branched out, they didn¡¯t have a Rank-3 alchemist, so they had to rely on the Back to Sky Valley for support.


    Now that the development of the sect has officially begun, instead of using alchemy to distract Yan Shaoyin¡¯s energy and cultivation, they should shift their focus to nurturing their own top-ranked alchemists.


    ¡°Golden Cliff doesn¡¯t have a Rank-3 alchemist, but compared to Back to Sky Valley, they would certainly trust our Divine Wood Sect more. By analyzing this matter thoroughly, I believe Brother Jia would also agree with the Sect Leader¡¯s views.¡±


    ¡°As long as we ensure that Golden Cliff can get more than twelve Foundation Building Pills, considering the relationship between our two sects, this matter is sure to succeed. Let me handle the following.¡±


    Having now addressed a long-standing concern, Chu Zuoshu¡¯s previously tired face brightened instantly.


    After having a couple of drinks with him, Chen Mobai also asked to take his leave.


    ¡°Junior Brother, there has been a suggestion for you to take up the position of Guard of Jian Country, what are your thoughts?¡±


    ¡°If the Sect needs me to go there, I will certainly not refuse.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s main reason for visiting was due to this matter. Liluo Xue had mentioned it to him almost three to four months ago, but there had been no progress on it.


    The duty of the Town Guard would contribute to his future ascension to the upper echelons. The sooner it¡¯s decided, the better.


    But he didn¡¯t want to push the matter himself, after all, within the Divine Wood Sect, he held the reputation of a genius swordsman and needed to maintain an air of aloofness.


    So now, he conveniently used the matter of Zeng Woyou to remind Chu Zuoshu.


    As expected, Chu Zuoshu remembered.


    ¡°There was a proposition for this matter earlier, but it got shelved temporarily due to not receiving enough support. I will push for it again in a few days.¡±


    Although there was no definite promise in his words, Chen Mobai knew with certainty, that becoming the Guard of Jian Country should be a sure thing.


    After all, Chu Zuoshu was now the Sect Leader. If he truly wants to make something happen, there are not many who would overtly block his way.


    Two days after returning to Xiao Nanshan, Yan Jinye visited again.


    ¡°Senior Brother, Inspector Sun came looking for Master some last night. Today, Master apologized in person to the Sect Leader.¡±


    Although the matter of the three furnaces of Foundation Building Pills at Golden Cliff hadn¡¯t been confirmed yet, Chu Zuoshu¡¯s promise to Zeng Woyou was enough to guarantee the Sect¡¯s credibility.


    That¡¯s why, as soon as Zeng Woyou heard this proposal, he immediately complied without a second thought.


    However, considering that they don¡¯t have their hands on the materials needed for the Foundation Building Pills yet, Zeng Woyou didn¡¯t mention the matter to Yan Jinye. Chen Mobai, uncaring, explained the reason but also instructed her to keep it a secret and not spread it.


    ¡°Not only is Senior Brother extraordinarily talented, but he also has a thorough understanding of human interactions. It can be seen that his Sword Dao cultivation has reached the point where can act as he pleases and reach an enlightening state.¡±


    ¡°If possible, I just want to cultivate, but unfortunately in this world, if I didn¡¯t wield a sword, I wouldn¡¯t be able to keep my territory peaceful.¡±


    Chen Mobai said these words while pointing to Xiao Nanshan and the sixty acres of the Spirit Field at the bottom of the mountain.


    ¡°I am far from reaching Senior Brother¡¯s realm.¡±


    Having resolved matters with Zeng Woyou and Chu Zuoshu, Chen Mobai accepted the three Bamboo Fruits without any guilt.


    As the realm of his Divine Sense keeps climbing higher, this Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew has started to become less effective for him. This is happening because he used it to water the Divine Sense seed when he was dividing his mind into thoughts. If used directly on the main Divine Sense, it no longer improves his strength.


    Because of this, he has been using it mainly to enhance his Void Spirit Eye while focusing less on Divine Sense cultivation.


    However, after reaching perfection in the Foundation Establishment stage, Chen Mobai felt that another body refining technique will improve himself.


    He previously used 23 drops of the Divine Tree juice to refine his skull. While using Precious Fire Forging Physical Technique for refinement, much of the life and spiritual energy were still hidden inside his bones. This energy will form a perfect cycle and gradually infiltrate the whole body¡¯s flesh and blood vessels after all of his bones are refined with this tree juice.


    Now, Chen Mobai could use the Longevity Sutra to stimulate the sleeping Divine Tree juice energy within his bones. This will improve his Void Spirit Eye, and even slowly help him form his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Palace.


    The thing to say here is that this technique and the Divine Tree juice originate from the same source. The Longevity Sutra naturally possesses the controlling power over the Divine Tree juice.


    His Void Spirit Eye showed signs of nearing completion.


    After sending Yan Jinye away, Chen Mobai finally received the Sect Leader¡¯s decree from Divine Wood Hall.


    He was asked to take over the position of Town Guard of Jian Country from Li¨² R¨³zh¨°ng next year.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai accepted it.


    Even though as the Town Guard of Jian Country he can slack off within the Giant Tree Ridge, he will initially need to inspect all six Fang Markets within the borders of Jian Country and the nine inferior medicine fields and fourteen other mineral-producing locations of the Divine Wood Sect.


    But, that is a matter for next year.


    After teaching his three disciples the Magic Duel, Chen Mobai announced that he had gained new enlightenment and needed to retreat for cultivation. He then again sealed off the top of Xiao Nanshan.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The offline exchange and discussion event of the Daoist Academy of the Immortal Sect were about to begin, he needed to first go there and confirm the representatives of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Yet, Chen Mobai did not directly return to Immortal Sect. Instead, he took a ¡°detour¡± and went to Divine Tree Secret Realm first.


    Now that he is at perfection in the Foundation Establishment stage, he believed that he could reach the very end in front of the Divine Tree.


    The divine tree reached the sky.


    The grey-brown tree bark bore the traces of time, yet also possessed the depth of the transcendent blue sky and the heaviness of dominating the vast world, appearing majestically towering.

 Chapter 479 - Chapter 479: Chapter 336: Before the Dao Tree_3

    Chapter 479: Chapter 336: Before the Dao Tree_3


    Chen Mobai recalled the two occasions on which he had ventured before the grand Dao tree. The first time he had cunningly used the Asura Puppet, borrowing the power of this Rank-3 puppet, to reach the tenth step. This secured his unsurpassed reputation in the Magic Duel that spanned two realms and allowed him to obtain the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission.


    The second time was more spur-of-the-moment, using his own true power to test the boundaries.


    Regrettably, he only made it as far as the seventh step. Although it was a decent accomplishment, he felt somewhat humiliated, having squandered so many resources.


    Today, he once again stood before the grand Dao tree.


    When he stepped onto the seventh platform, although he felt pressure on his Divine Sense and physique, compared to the exhausting weariness he had previously felt, it now merely seemed like warm-up exertion after exercise, causing him to break out in a slight sweat.


    It was even somewhat comfortable.


    Thus, he took the eighth step.


    The faint humming sound in his ears caused a momentary blurring of his vision and an intensity threefold stronger attacked his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion. Chen Mobai was forced to stop and digest the aftershock of this trial.


    Not only was his Divine Sense being attacked, but also the spiritual power within his Dantian Qi Sea and his bodily vigor were depleting simultaneously.


    Only at this moment did Chen Mobai understand that this longevity-seeking method is a comprehensive trial on a cultivator¡¯s spirit, vigor, and Divine Sense. However, cultivators from the Tianhe Realm, compared to Divine Sense, focus more on elevating their Spiritual Power Realm. Therefore during previous trials, they often display an inability to stand the pressure, losing consciousness each time.


    The capacity of a barrel is determined by its shortest stave.


    Since the Asura Puppet is a puppet, trials on its spiritual power and physical body prove ineffective. Only the Divine Sense Chen Mobai poured into it reached its limit, therefore he could only take ten steps.


    Compared to that time, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense has improved significantly. However, when it comes to the Perfection of Foundation Establishment and the Longevity and Immortality Sutra, it was still the weakest link.


    At this eighth step, he even felt a slight ringing in his ears.


    But this side effect was completely dismissible to him.


    He glanced at the grand Dao tree that was now within arm¡¯s length and took the ninth step.


    The impact on his Divine Sense was more terrifying than before, and he felt a faint sense of dizziness.


    However, it was still within his tolerance level.


    The tenth step.


    The instantaneous headache caused Chen Mobai to clench his teeth involuntarily, and the perfect Longevity Spiritual Power within the Dantian Qi Sea began to drain wildly.


    At this moment, the effect of refining the Longevity Tree Juice into his skull was revealed. A warm and gentle spiritual energy enveloped his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, which quickly helped him recover his senses.


    Then, he took the eleventh step!


    ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth. The bloodstained palm caused him to furrow his brows, and the intense pain in his head was almost unbearable.


    If it were not for the continuous warmth flowing in his skull, soothing his Purple Mansion¡¯s Sea of Knowledge and easing the headache, he would have fainted by now.


    For this reason, he felt he hadn¡¯t yet reached his limit and could take one more step.


    Without hesitation, while the spiritual power of the longevity tree¡¯s juice had not yet been exhausted, Chen Mobai moved forward again, taking the twelfth step!


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    His vision was abruptly filled with crimson. He knew it was due to blood filling his eye sockets, or more accurately, from blood flowing from his seven openings.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon reaching this step, even with the protection of the spiritual power from the longevity tree¡¯s juice, he had reached his limit.


    So be it, he would try again next time.


    Just as Chen Mobai was turning around, a piece of green leaf floated down and landed on his forehead.


    The scene he had once experienced, commanding the Asura Puppet, was played out once again.


    [Twelve steps before the Dao tree, an excellent result. You are qualified to be the Saint Heir of my Longevity Sect.]

 Chapter 484 - Chapter 484: Chapter 339: Yin Yang Five Elements and Seven Stars Sword Arm_1

    Chapter 484: Chapter 339: Yin Yang Five Elements and Seven Stars Sword Arm_1


    ¡°Teacher Zuo, how should I practice the Sword Slaying Array?¡±


    Chen Mobai treats it as if nothing had happened, still humbly seeking guidance.


    ¡°Ahem, since you have mastered Sword Light Shapeshifting, you can also practice one or two techniques from the Sword Destruction Collection. It appears that you have chosen the Five Elements Sword Sha. This is simple, it¡¯s one of the two Sword Sha Large Formations we have experimented with and completed.¡±


    Due to the limited resources of the Immortal Sect, Zuo Gong and the Sword Cultivators from the Sword Dao Association had only managed to complete the practice of two¡ªTwo Rites Sword Devil and Five Elements Sword Sha.


    ¡°Watch carefully as I demonstrate.¡±


    As he spoke, Zuo Gong opened the palm of his right hand towards Chen Mobai. A silver Sword Seal in the shape of a droplet appeared, then under his control, using his Divine Sense, it transformed into a bright Sword Sha that flowed like mercury.


    As soon as this Sword Sha appeared, Chen Mobai felt the air around him become stagnant in an instant, making it difficult for him to breathe and move.


    Luckily, Zuo Gong was only giving a demonstration.


    After the Mercury Sword Killing, Zuo Gong rolled up his right sleeve to reveal a withered yellow leaf Sword Seal glowing at his wrist.


    This is the Wood Attribute Withered Glory Sword Killing, which can render any living creature it comes into contact with into desolation.


    After the Withered Glory, a Flame Sword Seal appeared on Zuo Gong¡¯s forearm.


    Then on his elbow, a Mountain Sword Seal.


    Finally, the Geng Metal Sword Demon, which Zuo Gong himself cultivates, was transformed into a sword-shaped seal on his upper arm.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye was working to its full capacity as he looked at Zuo Gong¡¯s right arm. He saw a stream of spiritual power, stronger and purer than all of his own combined Longevity Spiritual Power, flowing from the latter¡¯s Dantian Qi Sea. It ran like a thread along his meridian, linking the Five Elements Sword Sha in sequence, forming a perfect cycle of the Five Elements.¡±


    ¡°Since I cultivate the Geng Metal Sword Demon myself, if I want to unleash the power of the Five Elements Swords Slaughter Formation, I must start with Geng Metal, then proceed to evolve it following the sequence of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth.¡±


    ¡°However, after one complete cycle of the five elements, you can adapt based on the spells and magic artifacts used by the opponent.¡±


    ¡°But having a fixed starting point could be a disadvantage in front of a powerful enemy. They could disrupt your Sword Slaughter Formation before it is fully deployed, eliminating all subsequent variations.¡±


    ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting is beneficial in this aspect, as the starting point isn¡¯t fixed, leaving no room for opponents to exploit.¡±


    When Zuo Gong got to this point, he sounded somewhat sentimental. The new generation surpasses the old. This was the first time he felt the weight of the word ¡°genius¡±.


    Every student admitted to Dance Tool Dao Academy was exceptional among the myriad creatures of the Immortal Sect. They were the cream of the crop, hence Zuo Gong was not particularly impressed with the term ¡®genius¡¯.


    Among all the students, only a select few could impress him.


    Zhongli Tianyu indeed did a good job by establishing the foundation before entering the Academy, but it was merely due to inheriting the magic artifacts from his ancestors. If others were as fortunate, they might not lag behind.


    Zhai Jianbai enlightened the Sword Dao and established the foundation upon hearing about it, becoming the first in the Sword Control Department in hundreds of years. But this only affirmed Zuo Gong¡¯s belief that Zhai would be a worthy successor.


    As for the Chen Mobai before him, Zuo Gong had originally thought it was just good luck.


    Although he got to the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission during his Foundation Establishment, his understanding of the sword was not as good as Zhai Jianbai¡¯s. Plus, being a disciple of Che Yucheng, after Zuo Gong taught Chen what he needed, he sent him off to graduate.


    He hadn¡¯t expected any further interaction with Chen, let alone such a pleasant surprise at their next meeting.


    Among the geniuses who could outshine the others, Zuo Gong had seen many. But the one who astounded him the most was the Chen Mobai before his eyes.


    If this man were to become his disciple, he would certainly surpass Zuo Gong and enhance the prestige of the Sword Control Department of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. He might even surpass the Pure Yang and Mountain and Sea Schools, becoming the top sword lineage in the Immortal Sect.


    ¡°Little Chen, have you ever considered taking on another teacher?¡±


    On hearing Zuo Gong¡¯s suddenly amiable tone, Chen Mobai was instantly alert.


    ¡°Teacher Zuo, I have only scratched the surface of the Puppet Dao and truly do not have the energy to learn other things.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Your talent is wasted on Puppet Dao; you should focus on Sword Dao. Join my Sword Control Department. Once I retire, I can ensure you take my place as the director. I can even permit you to study the Immortal Sect¡¯s Sword Technique. I could also help you apply to the Daoist Academy for access to the Mo Bao Sword Scar, left behind by Old Ancestor Bai Guang.¡±


    The terms laid out by Zuo Gong tempted Chen Mobai greatly. Both the Immortal Sect¡¯s Sword Technique and the Divinity Transformation Old Ancestor¡¯s Sword Scar could not be bought with money. These precious artifacts of the Earth Origin Star were supreme inheritances of the Sword Dao. Countless Sword Cultivators had coveted these two items from the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Now, as long as Chen Mobai agreed, he could essentially guarantee access to them.


    But after careful consideration, Chen Mobai still shook his head in refusal.


    ¡°Teacher Zuo, I think your words earlier were correct. One should not be overly ambitious. I have only just mastered Sword Light Shapeshifting and my realm is still low. These two treasures, used on me, would not fully display their effects. Let¡¯s forget about it.¡±


    ¡°What I said earlier was nonsense. Your talent in Sword Dao is the strongest I have ever seen. The Sword Control Department is most ideal for you. However, viewing the Immortal Sect¡¯s Sword Technique and Mo Bao¡¯s Sword Scar now indeed seems wasteful as they can only be used a limited number of times. Moreover, the Sword Intent they contain is too profound. It would be more suitable for you after Core Formation.¡±

 Chapter 485 - Chapter 485: Chapter 339: Yin Yang Five Elements and Seven Stars Sword Arm_2

    Chapter 485: Chapter 339: Yin Yang Five Elements and Seven Stars Sword Arm_2


    After advising a couple of times, Zuo Gong knew that without Che Yucheng¡¯s approval, Chen Mobai would probably not become his disciple. Annoyed, he withdrew his right hand that was demonstrating the Five Elements Sword Sha.


    ¡°To cultivate Sword Sha, one must first possess a strong body. My right arm has been specially strengthened through a Body Training Technique. In addition to the Five Elements, there are also Yin and Yang. In theory, the Two Rites Five Elements Sword Sha could form a composite sword array which would be even more formidable.¡±


    As he spoke, Zuo Gong slightly rolled up his sleeve to reveal his right shoulder, indeed bearing the marks of both Yin and Yang Sword Sha.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Teacher Zuo to have already cultivated both the Two Rites Sword Sha and Five Elements Sword Sha. Even the four great Sword Cultivators like Nangong Xuanyu may not match up to you.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Zuo Gong shake his head, he sighed and revealed the hidden truth.


    ¡°After I theoretically finished the Sword Destruction Collection, in order to verify its practical operability and cultivatability, I proposed to test it on myself.¡±


    ¡°Nangong Xuanyu and the other three each condensed the other four Elemental Sword Sha apart from the Geng Metal Sword Demon, and then injected them into my right arm. But even after the extrapolation through the Emptiness Puppet, they only barely succeeded after failing three times.¡±


    ¡°I managed to cultivate the Five Elements Sword Sha, but the other four Sword Sha are not my own strength. Once they are activated, they will be exhausted and unable to recover, merely a spectacle.¡±


    ¡°The Two Rites Sword Sha is in the same situation. But due to the overpowering strength of Nangong Xuanyu¡¯s Primordial Yang Sword Evil, the Xuan Yin Sword Sha condensed by the other three barely balanced with it to form a formation. Hence, I won¡¯t demonstrate it again, in case I harm my arm even more.¡±


    While talking, Zuo Gong covered up the Two Rites Sword Sha on his shoulder.


    ¡°Teacher Zuo has truly made a great contribution to the world of Sword Dao.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but respect Zuo Gong even more.


    The extrapolation of the Emptiness Puppet assumes under the most perfect conditions, but during actual practice, many unexpected errors can occur.


    With Zuo Gong¡¯s Core Formation realm, he still needed to specifically practice a Body Forging Technique to strengthen his right arm. This indicates how severe the physical damage could be if the Sword Sha Formation fails.


    ¡°So even though you¡¯ve attained the realm of Sword Light Shapeshifting, if you really want to condense the Sword Slaughter Formation, you still need to specifically cultivate a Body Training Technique.¡±


    ¡°I suggest waiting until your Foundation Establishment is complete, then slowly attempt this. By that time, you will also have time to prepare and condense the Five Elements Essence Qi for artificial synthesis of the Earth Sha Qi.¡±


    ¡°However, the foundation of Sword Sha is Sword Light. You can first practice with the Five Elements Sword Light Formation.¡±


    ¡°I will first pass on to you my Body Training Technique, but everyone¡¯s physique is different, you can use it as a reference, just don¡¯t strictly follow my method.¡±


    When Zuo Gong previously passed on the Sword Destruction Collection, he had already added Chen Mobai as a friend, so very quickly he passed on his self-created Body Training Technique for condensing the Two Rites Five Elements Sword Array.


    Yin Yang Five Elements Seven Stars Sword Arm!


    This name is so tacky.


    After seeing the title of the ebook, Chen Mobai restrained his impulse to ridicule and continuously thanked Zuo Gong.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t understand something, feel free to ask me. After all, I am three hundred years older than you, so my experience in Sword Dao is more abundant.¡±


    Zuo Gong¡¯s words made Chen Mobai too overwhelmed to respond fortunately, the bell for the end of class rang at that moment and Zha Jianbai walked over.


    ¡°Director, President.¡±


    Zha Jianbai called out to both Zuo Gong and Chen Mobai. Since he had begun working as a Teaching Assistant, he had frequently interacted with the student council over the past two years and had a few exchanges with Chen Mobai. Being from the same year, they accommodated each other¡¯s schedules.


    ¡°Oh yes, the offline peer exchange meeting of the Daoist Academy is about to begin. The participant list is not yet confirmed. Would you be interested, Old Zha?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly remembered this matter. As he along with three other Foundation Establishment Nine Layer graduates were participating, they had enough top-level competitors, so he thought about cultivating more talented students for the Daoist Academy.


    Out of all the students of year 5012, apart from Zhongli Tianyu and himself, Zha Jianbai was actually the most talented.


    He was a true Sword Cultivation Genius, and was also at the Foundation Establishment stage just by hearing the Dao.


    It¡¯s a pity that he was in the same year as Chen Mobai. Otherwise, if he were chosen as the next Student Council President, Chen Mobai would not have to worry about Dance Tool Dao Academy falling back into last place after his graduation.


    ¡°What does the Director think?¡±


    Zha Jianbai hesitated a bit, then turned to Zuo Gong to ask. The latter just nodded without comment.


    ¡°It¡¯s good to go have a look. One has to get hit to grow.¡±


    Chen Mobai laughed. He had never been hit.


    ¡°Then I will take my leave first.¡±


    ¡°Yes, come to the Sword Control Department whenever you have time. Or you can drop by my office and campus for tea when you are free.¡±


    Zha Jianbai was puzzled as he saw Zuo Gong bid Chen Mobai farewell with a friendly face.


    Previously when he heard Zuo Gong discuss Chen Mobai, it was with a tone of displeasure. How come he is so amiable now?


    After leaving the campus, Chen Mobai visited Che Yucheng again.


    He originally thought this teacher was still upset, but Che Yucheng appeared as usual. The two discussed the upcoming offline exchange meeting¡¯s participant list. Then Chen Mobai skillfully asked a few questions about automatons replacing manual labor.


    ¡°I believe this is the future trend for the Immortal Cultivation World. It¡¯s just that the population of cultivators is still high, making human labor much cheaper than automatons. That¡¯s why it hasn¡¯t been heavily developed. When human labor becomes scarce and expensive in the future, automatons will replace human labor.¡±


    As expected, Che Yucheng¡¯s expression became lively when discussing automatons, and his tone was also filled with passion.


    ¡°Teacher, as you know I own a talisman factory. So I was thinking about conducting an experiment in my factory to create an entirely automated production line.¡±


    ¡°Theoretically, there is no problem. In the cultivation world, there are several high-end Magic Artifact alchemy labs that use entirely automated processes. I have been involved in the design and construction of two of these labs. I will grant you access so you can look up relevant papers.¡±


    As one of the leading figures in the Puppet Dao, Che Yucheng had taken part in almost every major project related to puppets.


    Even though he knew that Chen Mobai was saying this just to please him, it was the thought that counts.


    However, Chen Mobai indeed had been considering this.


    He had been pondering how to safely and efficiently transport resources from the Tianhe Realm and Divine Tree Secret Realm to the Immortal Cultivation World to convert it into his assets, without revealing it to anyone.


    After plenty of consideration, using automatons was the only option.


    Luckily, he now owned a talisman factory, creating a base to start trading between the two realms gradually.


    ¡°By the way, have you solved the issue you sought Zuo Gong about?¡±


    Finally, Che Yucheng asked, concerned.


    ¡°I have. I completed the Sword Light Shapeshifting recently, and it turned out to be a path of ¡®one sword generates countless methods¡¯. So, I couldn¡¯t find any information online. After receiving guidance from Teacher Zuo, I am planning on practicing his Sword Destruction Collection. If things go well, I should be able to complete at least one of the Swords Slaughter Formations before the exchange meeting.¡±


    ¡°Ah, that¡¯s good¡­wait, what¡­Sword Light Shapeshifting!¡±


    Che Yucheng was initially just making polite talk to show his deep attachment as a mentor. But halfway through his sentence, his centuries-old mind suddenly caught up.


    ¡°What did you say you¡¯ve mastered?¡±


    ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Che Yucheng¡¯s eyes widened as he rose from his chair, staring straight at the disciple before him, unable to believe what he¡¯d heard.


    ¡°Yes, Teacher. Is something wrong?¡±


    Chen Mobai initially intended to keep it a secret, but he felt that revealing it would be consistent with his ¡°genius¡± persona. Moreover, it would inevitably be exposed in the future. Since he¡¯d already told Zuo Gong, he might as well lay his cards on the table here.


    Che Yucheng sat down again with an uncertain look on his face. After a long time, he appeared to have made some decision, then said with some reluctance.


    ¡°Your talent in swordsmanship is somewhat wasted in my Puppet Lines. Why not switch over to the Sword Control Department?¡±

 Chapter 486 - Chapter 486: Chapter 340: Breakthrough_1

    Chapter 486: Chapter 340: Breakthrough_1


    Regarding Che Yucheng¡¯s proposal, Chen Mobai promptly shook his head in refusal.


    ¡°Teacher, although I have achieved some accomplishment in Sword Dao, I prefer Puppet Dao at heart. I¡¯d rather not switch to the Sword Control Department.¡±


    The fact is, Chen Mobai understood where his proficiency in ¡°Sword Rainbow Fission¡± and ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting¡± came from.


    Compared to Zha Jianbai, he was but a hollow Sword Cultivation Genius. Being around Zuo Gong, the Jiedan Sword Cultivator, for prolonged periods might give him away. It was best to keep him at arm¡¯s length.


    ¡°Alright then, it was just a suggestion.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s rejection, a relieved expression appeared on Che Yucheng¡¯s face.


    This disciple was so outstanding that he found it somewhat disconcerting .


    If he was genuinely impeded in Puppet Lines, he would feel somewhat remorseful.


    After Chen Mobai took his leave, he went to the Student Council.


    Under the looming gaze of Hua Zijing, he forced a smile and settled some matters that necessarily required his presence or signature.


    ¡°Alright, I can only accompany you till here. The rest is up to you.¡±


    After wrapping up all the business of the year, Hua Zijing stretched lazily and announced her resignation.


    Currently, they were in the conference room, and most of the Student Council members were present.


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard these past two years.¡±


    After receiving the documents, Chen Mobai expressed his gratitude to Hua Zijing deeply. Without her help as the Vice President and Secretary-General, he would have been a complete mess at first.


    ¡°Those were just my due duties.¡±


    Hua Zijing waved her hand, then picked up the white cat lounging on the conference table, entering relaxation mode.


    This semester would end in two more months.


    After Chen Mobai became president, of the three vice presidents, Shen Youren had graduated last year.


    He was replaced by Ying Sizhen from the Alchemy Department, who was now in charge of liaising with the departments of Alchemy and Spiritual Plants. He was doing quite well.


    After Hua Zijing¡¯s resignation, only Ming Yu remained of the three Vice Presidents initially left behind by Zuo Qiushi. However, he was in ninth grade this year and would likely have to step down at this time next year.


    ¡°After Zijing graduates, let Zhuang Jialan take over the secretariat. As for the Vice President, how about Lu Tiansuan?¡±


    Chen Mobai knocked on the table and announced the nominations they had previously discussed.


    Hua Zijing was Vice President and concurrently Secretary-General. Zhuang Jialan¡¯s tenure was not enough, promoting her directly to Vice President would make folks in Daoist Academy talk. They would think she had nepotism going for her.


    Lu Tiansuan was the first Student Council member Chen Mobai had known. Like Ming Yu, he would graduate next year.


    He was experienced enough, and while his communication skills were lacking, he was a practical person.


    Most of the Student Council members voted in favor of him as the third Vice President.


    Thus, at this meeting, the new Student Council team was formed.


    However, this team could only hold for a year.


    Thinking that he wouldn¡¯t graduate for another three years, Chen Mobai felt that he needed to recruit more people.


    [Brothers and sisters, the Student Council is recruiting this year. If anyone is interested, as your president, I guarantee full benefits.]


    In the chat group of the Metaphysical Class, Chen Mobai started to draw in the people he was closest with in the Daoist Academy.


    [Brother, wait for me. I¡¯ll join as soon as I¡¯m back at the end of the year.]


    The first to respond was naturally Ming Yuhua. He spent the whole year outside with Daoist Academy¡¯s main crew refining large-scale magical instruments, but the end was finally in sight. The project would be completed soon.


    [What benefits are there?]


    The chat group immediately came alive as Chen Mobai used the same words he had used to cajole Zhuang Jialan, and soon three people expressed their interest in joining the course.


    Gong Ranran, Li Zimo, and Fan Yuanpu were the ones who responded.


    After their Foundation Establishment, they found that their credits were not sufficient, and were worried about this issue. Given that legal credit benefits could be obtained from the Student Council, they agreed readily.


    Yunyang Bing approached Chen Mobai privately and explained that he intended to start traveling around with his teacher to various Immortal Gates from next year, exploring the great landscapes while completing the mapping of a specific area, so he would not join the Student Council anymore.


    Chen Mobai understood this. Apart from Yunyang Bing, Jin Shuwei was also an Array Department student, who had also received the task of mapping. Both of them had to follow their mentors off-campus for practical courses.


    The three major faculties in Dance Tool Dao Academy, Array, Artifact Refining, Alchemy, all emphasized practical work and encouraged their studies to be applied, so they all had courses similar to internships.


    However, if one truly wanted to improve, participating in such activities was necessary. Isolation was not advisable.


    Aside from these people, Lan Yufan and Lu Zixuan had also successfully completed their Foundation Establishment.


    However, since their breakup, they had never spoken in the group again.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to stop messaging, Lan Yufan suddenly asked him privately: [Is Lu Zixuan joining the Student Council?]


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    [No? What¡¯s up, do you want to avoid her?]


    Chen Mobai was an intuitive person and immediately guessed Lan Yufan¡¯s thoughts when he saw her message.


    [Yes, if she doesn¡¯t join, I¡¯ll hang out in the Student Council.]


    [Okay, I will post the membership application form in the group later, you can download it, fill it, and send it directly to the Student Council¡¯s email.]


    Now Chen Mobai just wanted as many council members as possible, so that they could share the bulk of the work that had fallen on him after Hua Zijing¡¯s graduation.

 Chapter 487 - Chapter 487: Chapter 340 Breakthrough_2

    Chapter 487: Chapter 340 Breakthrough_2


    After he posted the application form and email address in the group, he instructed Zhuang Jialan, who was managing the mailbox, about the matter, and then he left it be.


    Because he started busy helping others to identify the ¡°Device Nurturing Spheres¡±.


    Since he was about to lead a team to the Jumang Daoist Academy very soon, he would probably not be in the Treasure Trove at the end of the year, so he moved this process ahead of time.


    Anyway, it doesn¡¯t matter if they are identified first before being opened.


    Once he set up his ¡°gold-sign¡± with his Void Spirit Eye, the news was published, and many who missed out last year were crowding at the entrance of the student union, each with a sack of ¡®Device Nurturing Spheres¡¯.


    Initially, those to be identified were the people from the Metaphysical Class who had some connections.


    They were all newly established Foundation Establishers and could receive a device piece for free.


    This year, they found several nurturing spheres in the Treasure Trove after looking for a long time. Plus, due to Chen Mobai¡¯s connections, they could freely consult the Map of Treasures. Each person successively found three to four nurturing spheres to present.


    After Chen Mobai had identified each one, both Gong Ranran and Fan Yuanpu had beaming faces on the spot, unsealing Rank-2 superior Magical Artifacts.


    The remaining four people, however, did not use the device pieces on Chen Mobai¡¯s advice as the goods they found were very ordinary.


    After identifying them for the Metaphysical Class fellow students, Chen Mobai began to open doors for regular business.


    However, the doorkeeper changed from Hua Zijing to the current Zhuang Jialan.


    One by one, True Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment came in, some were overjoyed while others were gloomy and upset.


    But compared to directly opening and getting a common and incompatible Rank-2 magical artifact, at least they all have a chance to choose again.


    Since the exchange of the device pieces was not until the end of the year, even those True Cultivators who had identified the magical artifacts they wanted had no way to open them now.


    After all the people had finished the identification, Chen Mobai organized another exchange meeting, picked out some well-identified magical artifacts that were not appropriate for the owners and introduced them to other suitable people.


    After this round of discussion, basically most people got the magic artifacts they were satisfied with.


    The remaining few had to accept their bad luck. They again went to the Treasure Trove to search everywhere, to see if they could find the suitable ones before the end of the year.


    After this identification conference, Chen Mobai¡¯s account was directly credited with 186 school points, a full 100 more points than last year.


    One school point for identifying one ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡±. After making a name for himself last year, he finally had a good harvest this year. And it will be more and more in the visible next three years.


    But it is also exhausting.


    Continuous operation of the Void Spirit Eye consumes a great deal of Divine Sense and Spiritual Power. Only because of the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew and the warm flow of Life Tree Juice, he could finish all the identification within three days.


    When Chen Mobai had no school points, he felt extreme pain.


    But when he had school points and couldn¡¯t spend them, he felt even more pain.


    Chen Mobai felt that this was not good. Since Wang Xingyu was in closed-door cultivation for his Foundation Establishment, the three bamboo fruits in his possession should be refined by Qing Nu. That means, it was better to exchange the other medicinal materials before going to Jumang Daoist Academy.


    But as it was not the right time, Luo Hezheng, who was in charge of the Academy¡¯s storage, would not make exceptions for anyone.


    Chen Mobai had no choice but to turn to Che Yucheng.


    ¡°Teacher, I believe that those who are representing the Daoist Academy to participate in offline exchanges and matches should exchange some elixirs and spiritual objects in advance. After all, we are the facade of Dance Tool Dao Academy. Once we could make a breakthrough with these elixirs, perhaps we could bring honor to the Daoist Academy during the exchange.¡±


    Chen Mobai was naturally apprehensive to say that he wanted to exchange the vermillion fruit. Thus, he found an impressive excuse and even obtained signatures of approval from most people.


    Seeing the application form signed by all members of the student union and many in-school Foundation Establishment cultivators, Che Yucheng had a smile in his eyes.


    ¡°I will discuss this matter at the teachers¡¯ meeting this week. If the vote passes, Luo Hezheng will not stop you anymore.¡±


    Che Yucheng always handles things reasonably in a respected manner.


    Although he could force Luo Hezheng to obey with his position as the director of the academic affairs office, he won¡¯t do that. To avoid bias, he might even vote against it.


    Chen Mobai was a bit confused. However, Che Yucheng¡¯s next sentence brightened his eyes.


    ¡°If you are doing this on behalf of your team, it may be hard to pass the meeting. But if you use your team as a pretext to allow the Academy¡¯s storage exchange to be open to all students in advance, I think no one will refuse.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately understood the hint in Che Yucheng¡¯s words.


    Raising hands to cast votes is essentially adopting what the majority wants!


    If this benefits the majority, then it will obviously succeed.


    Once back in the student union, Chen Mobai quickly told them about the situation and had the True Cultivators who had identified valuable items from each major department persuade their respective tutors and directors.


    So, at the weekend teachers¡¯ meeting, Luo Hezheng looked perplexed as nearly seventy percent of the teachers in the conference room raised their hands in approval, passing the application to open the Daoist Academy¡¯s treasury for exchange earlier this year.


    ¡°Director Luo, I would like three Vermillion Fruit, one Small Barrier Breaking Pill, and one liter of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.¡±


    Chen Mobai was naturally the first one to hear the news and come to exchange.


    ¡°You kid¡­¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai, Luo Hezheng could only shake his head, then he opened the storeroom and took out what Chen Mobai wanted.


    Later, under Luo Hezheng¡¯s supervision, Chen Mobai picked three Vermillion Fruit from the Daoist Academy.


    After preparing the two main ingredients for the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, Chen Mobai quickly made a trip back to Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°Xuan, help me gather three sets of these herbs. Your elder brother usually handles this, but he¡¯s currently in seclusion healing, so I¡¯ll leave this matter to you.¡±


    Luo Yixuan¡¯s efficiency is even faster than Liu Wenbo¡¯s.


    She left with the list of herbs in the morning and came back with three large bags in the afternoon.


    ¡°How did you do it so quickly?¡±


    Chen Mobai checked the three sets of auxiliary herbs, confirmed that they were all top-quality, and couldn¡¯t help but look surprised.


    It usually took Liu Wenbo about a week to purchase and collect everything in Divine Wood City.


    ¡°Master, I went to Inspector Sun of the Spirit Plant Department and explained the situation to him. He gave me a note to give to a sister in charge of the inventory in the Spirit Plant department. She quickly gathered up the materials according to my list. Of course, I used my own sect contribution to purchase, I didn¡¯t use your name to get them for free.¡±


    After listening to Luo Yixuan¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    Compared with the modest and gentlemanly Liu Wenbo, she was indeed more astute and capable.


    The Spirit Plant Department oversees all the fields on Giant Tree Ridge, and also continuously purchases Spiritual Medicine cultivated by various Immortal Cultivating clans under Divine Wood Sect from the four countries. Outside of Back to Sky Valley, their inventory of medicinal herbs is the most abundant in the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    That¡¯s how Zeng Woyou was able to become a Rank-3 Alchemist.


    In the past, in order not to expose himself Chen Mobai would always have Liu Wenbo collect materials from the market. This line of thinking had become a habit and he didn¡¯t think to change it.


    Right now, he is the red-hot new direct disciple of the Divine Wood Sect leader, buying some herbs from the Spirit Plant Department is a completely normal thing. Even if he reveals his elixir recipe, what¡¯s the point? He has already planted the seed of him having an Alchemist heritage through Yan Jinye, and he suspects many people already know.


    Let it be known that besides sword training and farming, he also wants to develop towards becoming an Alchemist.


    After praising Luo Yixuan, Chen Mobai took the herbs and went into seclusion again.


    He returned to Dance Tool Dao Academy, symbolically rented a room, and faked taking a Small Barrier Breaking Pill.


    Since his Dantian Qi Sea was already unblocked to the level of Foundation Establishment Perfection, breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Rank-2 to Rank-3 of Pure Yang Scroll was as simple and smooth as drinking water.


    The important thing was to have enough Pure Yang Spiritual Power.


    After the breakthrough, Chen Mobai put the Small Barrier Breaking Pill in his storage bag.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He had only broken through to Foundation Establishment Rank-2 of Pure Yang Scroll at the end of last year, just ten months ago. Although breaking through one level in a year is a normal speed, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to reveal too much.


    Taking a Barrier Breaking Pill to break through in advance would indeed cause some surprise, but it was still within the normal range.


    After all, Sword Light Shapeshifting could be explained by astonishing comprehension, but going from Foundation Establishment Rank-2 to Foundation Establishment Perfection in one year could not be explained even by an old Divinity Transformation ancestor.


    As long as his Spiritual Power Realm progression speed is the same as Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s, it wouldn¡¯t attract any attention.


    Speaking of Zhongli Tianyu, Chen Mobai happened to have arranged a meeting with him.

 Chapter 488 - Chapter 488: Chapter 341: Fragments of the Bagua Mirror_1

    Chapter 488: Chapter 341: Fragments of the Bagua Mirror_1


    This time, it was a face-to-face discussion at the Daoist Academy.


    This was a showcase of the future exchange between the top universities of the Immortal Sect, and it was only natural to bring out the most outstanding talents in the school.


    Although Chen Mobai was confident in his unrivaled Magic Duel skills, his realm was still a bit low.


    The principals of the other three Daoist Academies were monsters who had already reached Foundation Establishment before entering the academy, and they had all reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment two years ago, which was the exact reason why Zuo Qiushi felt unable to compete and chose to step down.


    But Zong Zi from Jumang Daoist Academy and a Daoist master from Repairing Heaven Institute were both in their tenth year, along with Hua Zijing ¨C they all needed to graduate this year.


    These monstrous figures would naturally seek ways to acquire the Jade Return Pill in preparation for the highest probability of Core Formation, rather than wasting their years in the Daoist Academy.


    This was precisely why both of them had readily agreed when Pure Yang Academy proposed this off-line exchange.


    At the very least, they wanted to suppress the Dance Tool Dao Academy again before they graduated.


    Of course, the offline discussion was also a chance to introduce the next generation of academy principals to the world.


    Chen Mobai was in his prime and wouldn¡¯t graduate for another three years, but that didn¡¯t stop him from bringing along another prospective principal for the next generation of the Daoist Academy.


    After spending two years in the Student Council, what began as a fascinating endeavor had become a bit tedious, especially now given Hua Zijing¡¯s upcoming graduation. Considering that Zhuang Jialan hadn¡¯t grown up yet, Chen Mobai knew he would be busy for the next three years. Hence, he had also started considering stepping down and letting someone else take over.


    But, he wouldn¡¯t let the prestigious title of Academy Principal be tarnished under his chosen successor. He had to choose someone strong enough to hold back the fierce characters of the other Daoist Academy.


    In the end, Zhongli Tianyu was the clear choice.


    His progress was astounding, and he had already broken through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment this year.


    With the Divinity Transformation Legacy and ¡°The Union of Differences,¡± plus the wide array of resources from the Daoist family, Zhongli Tianyu breaks a layer each year. His progress was even more monstrous than the other three.


    Among the rest of the students at the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, the highest realm was occupied by Hua Zijing and Ming Yu, both at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. Besides their innate Spiritual Root talent, it was their ability to secure more credit points than other students, thanks to the resources of the Student Council.


    In particular, Ming Yu, who had learned the Art of the Spiritual Eyes and helped others identify the ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡±, had made a fortune from these Good Deed Points.


    However, both of them were stuck after the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.


    Or to say, ninety-nine percent of the students couldn¡¯t reach the seventh level of Foundation Establishment before graduation. Only one or two do so every ten years.


    These people are the real seed of the Path and it¡¯s because of this, Zuo Qiushi easily ended up in the law enforcement department of the Immortal Sect after graduation.


    It was Che Yucheng who told Chen Mobai about Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s breakthrough to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.


    According to Che Yucheng, this achievement should be announced campus-wide.


    After all, this suggests that the Dance Tool Daoist Academy is on the rise, with one prodigious student after another popping out, promising a bright future.


    But Zhongli Tianyu didn¡¯t agree. He didn¡¯t care to show off.


    The reason he had informed Che Yucheng was that Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s family head and Che Yucheng had always shared a good relationship. Before coming to the academy, his family head had told him to go to Che Yucheng if any issues arose.


    Another reason was that three pieces of the precious Zhongli Bagua Mirror were hidden in the Treasure Trove.


    Zhongli Tianyu could seek clues from Che Yucheng, every time he achieved a breakthrough to the fourth, seventh level of Foundation Establishment, or when he graduated.


    A few days ago, Che Yucheng had just informed Zhongli Tianyu of the second mirror piece.


    That¡¯s why Chen Mobai knew where to find Zhongli Tianyu.


    He had been there before.


    Using a Short Teleportation Talisman, Chen Mobai returned to the Treasure Trove. He greeted Zhuang Jialan, who was standing at the entrance.


    ¡°Are you going deep into the Treasure Trove, Chairman?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here to see someone.¡±


    ¡°Do you need me to accompany you?¡±


    Chen Mobai gestured that he could go alone.


    Seven years after entering school, he had only seen Zhongli Tianyu once during registration. He knew that this man had a peculiar temper, and it might escalate to a fight. If Zhuang Jialan accompanied him, it might restrict his actions.


    Moreover, he felt that the scene of him and Zhongli Tianyu engaging in a duel shouldn¡¯t be witnessed by a third person. That would save him from feeling embarrassed.


    Upon entering the main cave of the Treasure Trove on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, Chen Mobai called Mi Yudao.


    ¡°Mi, that Device Nurturing Sphere you found in the Fire Spirit Tree might be opened today.¡±


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Mi Yudao agreed to go immediately.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Initially, beneath the roots and rubble of a Fire Spirit Tree, Mi had found a Device Nurturing Sphere. After Chen Mobai identified it, they found it was an Array Plate, but there was also another Device Nurturing Sphere within the trunk of the Fire Spirit Tree.


    Even Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye couldn¡¯t penetrate that Device Nurturing Sphere, initially attributing it to the interference of multiple powers. They were now aware that it sealed a piece of the precious Zhongli Bagua Mirror.


    At its peak, this Magic Artifact was Rank-5. His Void Spirit Eye might have been practiced to a good level, but even for a shard of this rank, he couldn¡¯t see through it.


    After waiting for Mi Yudao at the cavern entrance, both of them went together inside.


    After traversing five to six hundred meters, they once again ended up in front of the Fire Spirit Tree.

 Chapter 489 - Chapter 489: Chapter 341: Fragments of the Bagua Mirror_2

    Chapter 489: Chapter 341: Fragments of the Bagua Mirror_2


    A young man with a bob cut and bangs covering his eyes, dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt, stretched out his hand and reached into the trunk of the tree, taking out the Device Nurturing Sphere that sealed a piece of the Bagua Mirror.


    Naturally, Mi Yudao recognized Zhongli Tianyu. He opened his mouth wanting to say something, then hesitated, and ultimately just sighed without saying a word.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you two know the rules? I¡¯ve already claimed this cave.¡±


    After taking out the Device Nurturing Sphere, Zhongli Tianyu turned his head towards the two of them, speaking in a cold tone.


    ¡°That Device Nurturing Sphere is registered to Senior Mi in our Student Association¡¯s ¡®Map of Treasures¡¯. It only seals an Array Plate, unrelated to your Bagua Mirror, and it¡¯s a live seal at that. I hope you won¡¯t disturb the flow of the surrounding Spiritual Energy.¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed to the Device Nurturing Sphere nestled between the roots and broken stones of the Fire Spirit Tree, and then pointed to Mi Yudao, indicating that he was the first to discover it. According to the rules, if Zhongli Tianyu wanted to take it as well, he should compensate them with some Good Deed Points.


    ¡°I¡¯m not interested in that.¡±


    However, after Zhongli Tianyu got the fragment of the Bagua Mirror, he didn¡¯t even glance at the other Device Nurturing Sphere which contained the Array Plate.


    Just as Mi Yudao let out a sigh of relief, Zhongli Tianyu pointed towards the direction of the cave entrance, indicating they could leave.


    ¡°Now that we¡¯ve settled the public matters, I have a personal matter. I was wondering if you¡¯d be interested in participating in the Daoist Academy¡¯s offline exchange meeting?¡±


    Chen Mobai started the conversation with the Device Nurturing Sphere and promptly moved on to the main subject.


    ¡°Not interested. Since I¡¯m in a good mood today, disappear from my sight immediately. Don¡¯t make me kick you out.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu didn¡¯t even pay full attention to either of the two. His eyes, hidden under his flat bangs, were fixed on the Device Nurturing Sphere in his hand. A fragment of the Bagua Mirror, which seemed to have been reassembled after being shattered and falling to the ground, appeared on his palm.


    As soon as the Mirror appeared, the previously quiet Device Nurturing Sphere began to emit streaks of firelight. Then it floated out of the sphere¡¯s surface, forming a Li Gua (Separation Symbol).


    At this moment, the Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror in Chen Mobai¡¯s Qi Sea suddenly began to tremble, as if it had encountered a source of power that greatly attracted it.


    In the Immortal Sects, and especially in the Daoist Academy, one doesn¡¯t have to worry about stealing treasures.


    So, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hold back and let his Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror out directly.


    This bronze mirror instantly emitted a radiant flame of Yang, seemingly wanting to pull in the Li Gua on the Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯s surface.


    ¡°Are you seeking death?¡±


    Seeing this, Zhongli Tianyu seemed to have misunderstood.


    However, he finally looked up at Chen Mobai.


    He brushed his bangs aside, revealing a pair of eyes as black as ink, as deep as the starry sky. In them, the Bagua was faintly rotating, evolving into wind and thunder.


    ¡°Sorry, it seems that my innate artifact has some connection with your Bagua Mirror, so I couldn¡¯t control it for a moment.¡±


    Chen Mobai said this and stretched out his hand to stop his Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror, but his goal had already been achieved.


    ¡°Senior Mi, why don¡¯t you go back first?¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly turned to Mi Yudao and said. The latter hesitated for a moment, but considering his friend¡¯s combat capabilities, he finally nodded.


    ¡°Be careful. I¡¯ll wait for you at the Student Association. If you don¡¯t come back by tonight, I¡¯ll report this to Director Che.¡±


    Words from Mi Yudao caused Chen Mobai to chuckle involuntarily.


    Although Zhongli Tianyu had already reached the Foundation Establishment Level Seven, he definitely wasn¡¯t a match for him.


    But Mi Yudao was worried about him, so he didn¡¯t explain further. He waved his hand to indicate that he should leave first to avoid disturbing their spar.


    ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t worry. At most, I¡¯ll just teach him a lesson.¡±


    As Zhongli Tianyu spoke, he raised his right hand, and a green current of air condensed in his palm. It turned into a crescent moon-shaped blade in a blink of an eye and slashed towards Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Student Zhongli, don¡¯t you recognize me?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit surprised. Now in the Immortal Sects, no Foundation Establishment Cultivator would dare to use such a probing move against him.


    He didn¡¯t use his Sword Light, but the Yi Wood Divine Thunder from his palm erupted, turning into a flicker of green lightning. It shattered the air current arc blade and struck Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s forehead.


    Zi la la!


    However, a purple thunder abruptly appeared and flashed in front of Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s forehead, absorbing all of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    ¡°Your lightning-based method is not bad, but, I am the Thunder Emperor.¡±


    As he was talking, Zhongli Tianyu clenched his right hand in the air, a purple thunderbolt taking shape like a sharp blade in the center of his palm. It was like a long spear, which he hurled right towards Chen Mobai.


    A roaring sound echoed through the ancient cave that was unknowable in age, quaking because of this Thunderbolt Spear.


    Chen Mobai frowned; he also intended to leave a deep impression on Zhongli Tianyu by thoroughly defeating him in Thunder method, the very thing he excelled in.


    He ramped up the power of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder to Rank-2 Peak.


    A cyan-colored electric light condensed and stretched across his palm, morphing into a Spider Web of Thunder and Lightning.


    With his flawless understanding of this Thunder method, the strength was just right, exactly what was required to trap the purple Thunderbolt Spear.


    After experiencing it firsthand, Chen Mobai realized that Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s Thunder method seemed grander than his own, emphasizing destruction and annihilation with terrifying eradicating power. Could it be the legendary Purple Sky God Thunder?


    While he pondered, the power of both Thunder methods, under his meticulous control, dissolved into nothingness simultaneously.


    It signified that the power of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder and Thunderbolt Spear perfectly balanced each other out.


    Zhongli Tianyu, seeing this, widened his eyes in disbelief.


    [Coincidence?]


    He certainly didn¡¯t believe that it was all under Chen Mobai¡¯s control, but at that moment, he realized that this cultivator, seemingly not as powerful as him, seemed a little formidable.


    ¡°You¡¯re lucky to witness my full strength.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu finally got serious; the ¡°Xun Hexagram¡± and ¡°Zhen Hexagram¡± appeared in his pupils hidden beneath flat bangs.


    Suddenly, he disappeared from sight.


    ¡°Impressive speed.¡±


    Chen Mobai, a veteran of numerous battles, had gained ample experience dealing with swift opponents during his intense fight with Lu Qiulong.


    After praising, he flicked his thumb towards his back.


    A cyan-colored electric light, like a drill, burst forth abruptly. Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s face, behind Chen Mobai, turned ashen, then the Yi Wood Divine Thunder hit him, but a flash of purple thunderbolt quickly emerged to block the electric light.


    The electric and thunder lights unleashed the most dazzling radiance in a flash. Just when Zhongli Tianyu was expecting a massive explosion, the two forces suddenly melted into thin air again.


    [What kind of monster is this man!]


    After consecutive occurrences, Zhongli Tianyu finally understood the danger of Chen Mobai.


    This man¡¯s Magic Duel ability was all too capable of making a complete fool out of him.


    But the prideful man that he was, the real body of the Bagua Mirror appeared on his forehead, the two symbols of Wind and Thunder in his eyes materialized, and his entire body exploded into six to seven purple thunderbolt beams. Then, he cupped his hands which formed into a giant Thunder Ball, and smashed it heavily towards Chen Mobai before him.


    This Thunder Ball was so powerful that it had far surpassed the Rank-2 level.


    Only by utilizing the power of the Bagua Mirror could Zhongli Tianyu barely manifest this thunder force.


    He didn¡¯t believe Chen Mobai could dissolve it as perfectly as before after this attack.


    By this point, Zhongli Tianyu knew he was no match for the monster before his eyes, but he wanted to break his humiliating streak of being manipulated.


    Even if it just made this guy step back¡­


    Just as Zhongli Tianyu, with wide eyes and flying hair, was slamming down his most powerful Thunder Ball, Chen Mobai finally turned around.


    And their eyes met.


    Chen Mobai suddenly smiled; then under the incredulous gaze of Zhongli Tianyu, he lifted his right hand again. The cyan lightning condensed into a mirror-like water in his palm, then it was poured out like a sprinkler, transforming the Lightning-Water into a clear and transparent barrier.

    Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s Thunder Ball dramatically fell onto the Lightning-Water barrier. It was like a stone falling into the deep sea, made huge waves but returned to tranquility soon.


    Finally, the light and shadow faded away, revealing his open hands and Chen Mobai¡¯s slender right palm.


    Chen Mobai, extending his right hand, gently patted the forehead of Zhongli Tianyu who stood there shocked and numb, announcing his victory in the friendly match.


    To be honest, it didn¡¯t feel like a significant achievement.


    He felt like he was a bit of a bully.

 Chapter 490 - Chapter 490: Chapter 342: Prominent Family_1

    Chapter 490: Chapter 342: Prominent Family_1


    ¡°Who are you?¡±


    Only at this moment did Zhongli Tianyu finally react. He raised his hand to touch his forehead, looking at the fine-looking young man in front of him and asking.


    ¡°I¡¯m Chen Mobai, we enrolled at the same time. We¡¯ve met before, but at that time you were on the stage and I was below it, so you might not have noticed me.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile.


    During the enrollment ceremony, Zhongli Tianyu was on stage giving a speech as a representative of the new students while he watched from below.


    ¡°So you¡¯re Chen Mobai!¡±


    Apparently, Zhongli Tianyu was familiar with that name. Even though he spent these seven years cultivating in Treasure Trove, he still came out for the exams to obtain credits at the end of each year. Naturally, he had heard of this most well-known classmate in these last two years.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, as you know I¡¯m currently the Student Council President, but I may have to go on an internship in a couple of years. Looking around the entire Daoist Academy, you seem to be the only one capable of taking over my position, so I¡¯d like to take you with me this time.¡±


    ¡°But we¡¯re in the same grade.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu couldn¡¯t help but interject. He was already in his seventh year and in two years¡¯ time, at most, he would only serve as President for a year.


    ¡°That¡¯s okay, even holding the position for a one year still counts.¡±


    In the next couple of years, Chen Mobai decided to focus on trade between the two realms. The student council was no longer of much help to him. He planned to follow in the footsteps of Zuo Qiushi, finding a suitable replacement to step down and pass the torch.


    ¡°If you can defeat me, I¡¯ll agree. But I demand that you fight me once a year.¡±


    After some thought, Zhongli Tianyu, for reasons known only to himself, made this rather self-abasing condition.


    ¡°Sure, meet me at the Student Council residence in half a month, and we¡¯ll set off together.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know where the Student Council¡¯s residence is.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, Zhongli Tianyu suddenly made a surprising comment.


    ¡°During those seven years in the Treasure Trove, were you just cultivating?¡±


    ¡°Pretty much. When there was thunder, I would leave the Treasure Trove to comprehend the evolution of thunderbolts.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu answered honestly. Chen Mobai looked at his clear, innocent expression and couldn¡¯t help but marvel that there was such a person in this world.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you have any other hobbies besides cultivating?¡±


    ¡°Does reading manga count?¡±


    ¡°It does.¡±


    Finally, Chen Mobai understood why Zhongli Tianyu had developed such a personality. Turned out he was quite the homebody.


    ¡°Do you want to open this Device Nurturing Sphere?¡±


    Before leaving, Zhongli Tianyu pointed at the one between the root system of the Fire Spirit Tree and the broken stones. His comment made Chen Mobai wonder if he had missed out on some treasure.


    After activating his Void Spirit Eye to give it another look, he confirmed his previous appraisal result was correct. It was a triangular array plate.


    ¡°It¡¯s of no use to me, let¡¯s just leave it here.¡±


    ¡°The array plate sealed within this Sphere has absorbed quite a bit of the power from the Li Gua, the Separation Symbol. If your mirror could absorb it, it could be very beneficial.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s words brought Chen Mobai to a halt.


    ¡°Can you also see through Device Nurturing Spheres?¡±


    ¡°Before, I could only see the natural energy condensed from ¡®Wind Thunder¡¯, now there¡¯s also ¡®fire¡¯.¡±


    As Zhongli Tianyu spoke, he brushed aside his bangs to reveal his right eye. In his pupils, a Separation Symbol faintly appeared and disappeared.


    ¡°Even though you haven¡¯t opened this Device Nurturing Sphere, you can already use the power of a Separation Symbol fragment?¡±


    ¡°The Device Nurturing Sphere sealing the Bagua Mirror was made by someone in our clan, so I don¡¯t need a Device Piece to summon Fire Godlight and can open it already. After obtaining the item, the seal was essentially already unsealed.¡±


    The Device Nurturing Sphere that was sealing the mirror fragment ignited in Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s palm and melted into a white jade liquid, revealing an irregularly shaped mirror fragment with a faintly visible Separation Symbol on the mirror surface.


    Zhongli Tianyu held his Bagua Mirror and fit the fragment into it like a puzzle piece in a corner. Soon, the Bagua Mirror emitted a fiery red Spiritual Light, transmitting a wave of joyful fluctuations.


    ¡°Your clan sealed the Bagua Mirror fragments in the Device Nurturing Spheres and placed them all over the academy, aren¡¯t they afraid other students might happen upon them?¡±


    ¡°If someone really does take it, then retrieving it becomes part of my cultivation.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu spoke in a calm tone, saying something that Chen Mobai didn¡¯t quite understand.


    ¡°What do you think of my cultivation speed?¡±


    ¡°Very fast, throughout the whole Immortal¡¯s Door, I doubt you¡¯d find anyone faster.¡± Chen Mobai spoke truthfully but in his mind, he thought: [Apart from me, of course.]


    ¡°With the Bagua Mirror, ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯, and the resources of the Daoist Academy, my speed will remain this way until I make a breakthrough in my major cultivation realm. But it has been a thousand years since our family¡¯s ancestor passed away, and not a single one of us has managed to complete ¡®Nascent Soul Formation¡¯. The reason is that our cultivation speed is too fast, and we lack refinement.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    By the time Zhongli Tianyu finished speaking, Chen Mobai had already reached the Fire Spirit Tree and taken the Device Nurturing Sphere.


    ¡°So a hundred years ago, the clan nurtured the shattered and downgraded Bagua Mirror fragments in various places in the Immortal¡¯s Door. They also chose me as the host for the Bagua Mirror, starting a process of cultivation called ¡®recombination¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The clan demands that I gather all the Bagua Mirror fragments, believing it would slow down my cultivation speed and also refine my foundation. It¡¯s agreed that no matter what difficulties or hardships I encounter, I should solve them by myself.¡±


    ¡°Besides this, they also want me to figure out a way to obtain the spiritual objects required for Core Formation on my own.¡±


    When he finished speaking, Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s expression did not change. Chen Mobai¡¯s first thought after listening to him was: [Is this what they call a prominent family?]

 Chapter 491 - Chapter 491: Chapter 342 Big Family_2

    Chapter 491: Chapter 342 Big Family_2


    ¡°Are you implying that your family has pills that assist with Core Formation?¡±


    ¡°Before our ancestor passed away, he crafted a furnace of Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pills, a furnace of Infant-Transforming Elixirs left as heritage for our family.¡±


    ¡°Are you selling them?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked very bluntly.


    ¡°They can¡¯t be used by anyone outside the clan, and now there¡¯s only one left.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s words made Chen Mobai regretfully shake his head. However, upon thinking about it, if they were available for purchase, all the big shots from the immortal sects would have bought them from the Zhongli family a long time ago.


    Take Gongye Zhixu for example, in order to obtain baby-forming spiritual things, he even became the Vice Hall Master of Xianwu Hall, yet he only managed to get one Infant-Feeding Elixir.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I don¡¯t have any Device Pieces to exchange, otherwise I could open this Device Nurturing Sphere on the spot.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye could see through the surface layer, if he wanted to verify the true origins of the magic artifact, he would still need to open it.


    This year he earned 186 credits through the appraisal of Device Nurturing Spheres. Buying three Vermillion Fruits and a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir took 90 of them, leaving him with 96.


    As the final examinations for this year haven¡¯t begun yet, he hasn¡¯t received the credits from the courses he enrolled in. Therefore, he won¡¯t be able to exchange for a Device Piece until the end of the year.


    Considering that he would soon be going to the Jumang Daoist Academy, it might be better to open this Device Nurtifying Sphere prior to his departure. Thus, he took Zhongli Tianyu and headed toward the Student Union.


    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be looking for Teacher Duanmu in the depths of the Treasure Trove to exchange Device Pieces?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu, who followed him flying upward in the cave, asked curiously.


    ¡°Only Golden Core Cultivators can descend to the place where Teacher Duanmu resides. So, in order not to delay the opening of the Device Nurturing Sphere, we generally go to Teacher Luo Hezheng for exchanging Device Pieces.¡±


    Chen Mobai was patient in explaining to Zhongli Tianyu who, aside from cultivation, had little knowledge about anything else.


    ¡°I see. It¡¯s a shame that I¡¯ve just drawn the power from the Li Gua in my Bagua Mirror; I¡¯m not yet proficient in using it. It only works on me. Otherwise, I could have taken you to see Teacher Duanmu.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu regretfully said, causing Chen Mobai to ponder.


    Soon, both of them arrived at the three-story building of the Student Union.


    Unexpectedly, all three vice presidents were there, along with the resigned Hua Zijing. They were on the first floor, looking serious as if about to go out.


    ¡°President.¡±


    Everyone was thrilled at the sight of Chen Mobai walking in.


    However, when they saw Zhongli Tianyu following in, their expressions turned strange.


    ¡°Are you alright?¡±


    Mi Yudao asked from one side.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? We only had a friendly match, and you all act as if we have had a severe fight.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw their expressions and knew what was happening. He laughed and shook his head.


    ¡°Did you win or lose?¡±


    Only the bold Zijing, who had already resigned and was probably used to this place, would ask this question. She would come over from time to time to spend time with the cat.


    ¡°You could say I had a half point advantage. The power of Zhongli student¡¯s Thunder method is so strong that even the top students from the other three Daoist Academies wouldn¡¯t have too much advantage over him.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Zhongli Tianyu, who was acting stiff behind him, relax a bit.


    ¡°I knew it. You don¡¯t have to worry at all about magic duels, but they were scared you might get hurt.¡±


    Hua Zijing¡¯s words made the others feel a little awkward. Mi Yudao, in particular, lowered his head in embarrassment as he was the one who had exaggerated and made the group think that Zhongli Tianyu was very angry and that this duel might turn bloody, causing others to worry as well.


    ¡°It¡¯s rare to hear you praising me.¡±


    Hearing Hua Zijing¡¯s words, Chen Mobai playfully responded, earning him an eye roll from the latter who was busy with a cat.


    ¡°Tiansuan.¡±


    Chen Mobai gestured to Lu Tiansuan, this year¡¯s promoted vice president who managed the Map of Treasures credit check system.


    ¡°President, what can I do for you?¡±


    Lu Tiansuan walked over with confusion on his face.


    ¡°I remember that the Student Union¡¯s annual 5-credit grant hasn¡¯t been issued yet?¡±


    ¡°Right, the names are usually confirmed after the final exams, and then sent to the academic department for approval.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m just short of some credit points to exchange for a device piece, so you might as well give me my five now.¡±


    ¡°This¡­alright, president.¡±


    Although Lu Tiansuan is upright, he¡¯s not pedantic. Every year, the students¡¯ union presents an award of five credit points to 10 excellent members, but no matter what, the president and the three vice presidents are always on the list.


    And who doesn¡¯t know that the director of Academic Affairs is Chen Mobai¡¯s teacher?


    Chen Mobai receiving his award in advance can be considered reasonable.


    His help in identifying Device Nurturing Spheres over the last two years has stimulated many to actively consult the Map of Treasures. After all, once the external identification is completed, a comparison to the design is still needed to determine the grade and function of the magic artifact.


    Thanks to this, other union members have also benefited from Map of Treasure credit points over the course of these two years.


    Especially recently, Chen Mobai had identified 186 Device Nurturing Spheres for people. A single consultation of the Map of Treasures would translate into two credit points, resulting in an overall net benefit of 372 credit points. After deducting half for the Daoist Academy, it translates to each of the 36 student union members receiving five credit points.


    It¡¯s precisely for this reason that, although Chen Mobai was often absent from the students¡¯ union during these two years, everyone recognizes him as the rightful president.


    No surprise there, as the benefits under him have greatly exceeded those during Zuo Qiushi¡¯s tenure.


    ¡°You guys carry on as usual. In the next few days, we may have a couple of graduating seniors coming over. Zijing, could you please attend to them?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already resigned.¡±


    Hua Zijing, who was busy petting a cat, grumbled. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but smack his forehead. He had gotten used to her presence.


    ¡°Then Jialan will have to make do for now. Tianyu and I are going to meet another senior sister.¡±


    After hearing this, the confused Zhongli Tianyu, who had been standing by the door since they entered, looked up.


    When did they discuss meeting a senior sister?


    Chen Mobai, having accumulated 100 credit points, left the students¡¯ union with Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°I¡¯m not particularly interested in senior sisters.¡±


    While crossing the Nether River, Zhongli Tianyu suddenly said something that almost made Chen Mobai trip.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say we were going to meet a senior sister? Isn¡¯t it an introduction?¡±


    ¡°The way your mind works¡­I am going to exchange for a device piece from Teacher Duanmu. Coincidentally, there¡¯s a senior sister there who will be participating in the offline exchange meeting with us. We might as well get to know her.¡±


    ¡°Oh, that was a misunderstanding.¡±


    When Zhongli Tianyu said this, he didn¡¯t seem embarrassed at all.


    Chen Mobai was very curious about the environment in which he grew up. Just what kind of place was the Zhongli Family to have cultivated such an unusual character?


    Zhongli Tianyu: ¡°The temperature in the depths of the Treasure Trove is very high. My Bagua Mirror can only protect me. Can your mirror protect you too?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°No worries, I have a special constitution that can withstand high temperatures. By the way, since you don¡¯t use a device piece to open Device Nurturing Spheres, is this done with the approval of the Daoist Academy? Wouldn¡¯t you save 200 credit points by just using two pieces?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu: ¡°These were originally sealed by the members of our family. I just took them back. Now that you mentioned it, do I need to pay additional credit points?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°We¡¯re going to meet with Teacher Duanmu shortly, let¡¯s ask about this later.¡±


    One has a separating symbol for protection, and the other has a Fire Spirit Body, both quickly descended to the space above the underground magma flow.


    In this furnace environment where even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be burned, they were effortlessly positioned in front of the dark red island at the center.


    Just as they were about to land, a sky-shaking dragon chant echoed, making the surrounding magma boil and explode. A white dragon flew out of the magma, with a terrifying momentum, it soared directly into the sky.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face subtly changed, five fingers on his right hand shone in five colors, and a terrifying sword array was ready to be launched between the rotations of the Five Element Sword Lights.

    Zhongli Tianyu, standing next to him, also held his Bagua Mirror tightly, the Zhen Hexagram appeared, covering his entire body, and the purple thunder flashed.


    However, the white dragon had no intentions towards them. It seemed to be weak after being baptized in the magma and after taking a glance at them, flew into the island.


    ¡°You two can come over now.¡±


    About a quarter of an hour later, Duanmu Longrong¡¯s voice sounded in their ears.


    Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu dispelled their respective spiritual powers and landed.

 Chapter 492 - Chapter 492: Chapter 343: Above Divinity Transformation_1

    Chapter 492: Chapter 343: Above Divinity Transformation_1


    Chen Mobai and his companion landed on the island and met Duanmu Longrong.


    Alongside her, stood a woman dressed in a lady¡¯s dress, tall and graceful, with a slightly pale face and almost translucent skin.


    ¡°Greetings, Teacher Duanmu. This must be Sister Bian.¡±


    Chen Mobai greeted the two. In this offline exchange, Che Yucheng rallied three Rank-9 Foundation Establishment graduates, Bian Jingchun being the most highly anticipated, and even granted her a Rank-4 Magic Artifact.


    ¡°Hello, my two junior brothers.¡±


    She was indeed Bian Jingchun and after a slight nod, she politely bowed to Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°That white dragon earlier was yours, wasn¡¯t it? Surprisingly, there¡¯s still someone who practices the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique.¡±


    As Chen Mobai was pondering how to start the conversation, Zhongli Tianyu, who was by his side, was staring directly at Bian Jingchun and asked a very straightforward question.


    ¡°The Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique, evolved by our ancestor Zhongli from the Six Divine Skills mentioned in the Six Divine Beast Sutras, is a great boon to us, the less talented cultivators. Its value is no less than that of teachings.¡±


    Between her words, Bian Jingchun gave another bow to Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°The ancestor is the ancestor. You don¡¯t have to bow to me. I can¡¯t bear it.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu shook his head and dodged to the side.


    ¡°What is the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai, not understanding, asked. Although he could consult the internet on his phone, there were two knowledgeable individuals beside him, so he preferred to ask directly.


    ¡°The Six Divine Beast Sutras of Kunpeng Daoist Institute are the six innate divine skills of the mythical Candle Dragon. Even the most talented among us humans can only pick one from these to practice, and to integrate all six would require a transformation into a Candle Dragon.¡±


    ¡°However, the blood of the Candle Dragon was used up within a thousand years of the founding of the Daoist sects, thus no subsequent disciples were able to fully master the Six Divine Beast Sutras. It wasn¡¯t until our ancestor Zhongli found an alternative, using the Six Divine Beast Sutras as the foundation to create the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique, that the Dragon Turtle Primordial Spirit was evolved, and thus the complete six parts of the technique could be controlled through the principles of the Later Heaven Bagua.¡±


    ¡°Only a drop of Black Tortoise blood is required for practicing the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique, which significantly lowered the barrier for entry. However, to revert the ordinary turtle essence blood back to its origin and cultivate the Xuanwu Phenomenon takes a thousand years.¡±


    At this point, Zhongli Tianyu looked puzzledly at Bian Jingchun. Although she also followed the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique, she seemed to have not used the turtle essence blood.


    ¡°I used a drop of Rank-3 white snake essence blood.¡±


    ¡°The Xuanwu taught in the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique is a combination of turtle and snake. In my family, there was a senior named Baiyun who also learned this technique when he entered the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, but his constitution was more suited to transform into a snake.¡±


    ¡°It was already a monumental task for our ancestors to master the Sky Snake form, let alone dream of achieving the Xuanwu state. Therefore, they focused on the Sky Snake Transformation, and based on the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique, they created the Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture, which evolved into the white dragon form I had just used.¡±


    Bian Jingchun disclosed her cultivation technique without hesitation.


    ¡°The Spiritual Control Technique!¡±


    Chen Mobai had an epiphany after hearing this.


    He remembered Gong Xiangyu¡¯s method of magic duel back in Red Sandstone City.


    The Beast Tamer, one of the three major professions in the sect, has the Spiritual Control Technique, which although is the most difficult, can also lead to the highest achievements.


    Ordinary Beast Taming involves forming an understanding between the cultivator and the spirit beast, making it a two-against-one situation in battle.


    However, the Spiritual Control Technique involves absorbing the essence blood of spirit beasts and evolving various abnormal transformations that exceed human capacity, mimicking the law of nature.


    The highest achievers in this field were Zhongli¡¯s Ancestor, with his Dragon Tortoise Primordial Spirit, and the founder of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute with his Candle Dragon Primordial Spirit. Once their respective Phenomena Primordial Spirit manifested, they could command all phenomena in the universe, controlling all elemental energy transformations, and were thus known for their endless divine abilities and boundless magical power.


    ¡°Despite the name ¡®Dragon Transformation,¡¯ in my ancestor¡¯s scripture, the Sky Snake form does not actually lead to dragon transformation.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu knew the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique in his family quite well. Despite their tribe no longer practicing this technique, he was quite familiar with it. He pointed out the error in Bian Jingchun¡¯s previous words.


    ¡°The Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique does comprise both the turtle and snake forms. However, due to the scarcity of resources in this realm, the Dragon Turtle Primordial Spirit was the only form that our ancestor was able to cultivate.¡±


    ¡°Your ancestor Baiyun must have received the annotations of the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique that were written by our ancestor Zhongli when he taught at Kunpeng Daoist Institute.¡±


    ¡°According to our ancestor¡¯s inference, only when both the Dragon Turtle Primordial Spirit and the Sky Snake Primordial Spirit were fully cultivated, would he have attempted to combine the two, transform into Xuanwu, and ascend beyond Divinity Transformation.¡±


    Beyond Divinity Transformation!


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt a jolt in his heart, his face showing admiration.


    Of course, he knew what lay beyond Divinity Transformation. After one reached Perfection of Spirit Transformation in the Tianhe Realm, the next step was Ascendance.


    He had initially thought that the Daoist sect was far inferior in strength to the Tianhe Realm, but now he learned that someone had indeed touched the threshold of Ascendance.

    It was a pity that even the astoundingly gifted Zhongli¡¯s Ancestor had not survived to progress the Spiritual Control Technique into the Xuanwu Phenomenon.


    ¡°So, the path of transforming into a dragon via the Sky Snake form, is it a wrong path?¡±


    After hearing Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s words, Bian Jingchun was momentarily stunned.


    The official Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique focuses on cultivating the Dragon Turtle Primordial Spirit, while the annotations focus on cultivating the Sky Snake Primordial Spirit. The subsequent combination of the turtle and snake forms into Xuanwu is only treasured by the Zhongli family, hence even the Daoist sects don¡¯t have it.


    ¡°We can¡¯t exactly say it was a mistake. Your lineage¡¯s Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture has carved out its own path, transforming from snake to dragon, which I think is quite cool.¡±

 Chapter 493 - Chapter 493: Chapter 343: Above Divinity Transformation_2

    Chapter 493: Chapter 343: Above Divinity Transformation_2


    Upon hearing Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s words, everyone present displayed peculiar expressions. If it were any other members of the Zhongli family, they would be filled with indignation upon seeing the founder¡¯s Daoist technique being altered. But instead, he seemed somewhat excited.


    ¡°Only the Zhongli family¡¯s founder has managed to cultivate his Primordial Spirit through the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique. The rest of the immortality seekers in the Immortal Sect could only reach the Nascent Soul stage at most. Moreover, due to the enormous resources and time consumed to revert the essence blood of turtles back to their origin, no one has practiced it in the last three hundred years.¡±


    At this moment, Duanmu Longrong suddenly spoke, drawing Bian Jingchun¡¯s attention back.


    All members of the Immortal Sect are educated from a young age that the best cultivation technique is one that fits them best.


    The Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique was uniquely created by the founder of the Zhongli for his six mastery skills. His achievement of the Dragon Turtle Primordial Spirit was possible largely due to the abundance of resources from a different world obtained during the initial war.


    Even if the Zhongli family¡¯s founder reincarnated and tried to practice the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique in today¡¯s Immortal Sect environment, he would probably find it difficult to attain the Primordial Spirit stage again.


    ¡°You¡¯re doing well in your practice of the Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture, just keep going.¡±


    After hearing Duanmu Longrong¡¯s words, Bian Jingchun became resolute and thanked her for her guidance.


    ¡°Teacher Duanmu, I came here to exchange a Device Piece this time. Also, I wanted to let Senior Bian know that we¡¯re going to the Daoist Academy of Jumang in half a month.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he handed his student card to Duanmu Longrong. After her verification and deduction of 100 credits, she returned the card and a Device Piece to him.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be there on time.¡±


    Bian Jingchun nodded with a smile.


    ¡°No, you should leave with him now.¡±


    Duanmu Longrong suddenly spoke, leaving Bian Jingchun stunned and a little at a loss.


    ¡°After your Dragon Transformation this time, you will need about ten days to recover your Elemental Energy. I wouldn¡¯t let you do another Spirit Control here anyway, so it¡¯s about time for you two to leave.¡±


    After hearing Duanmu Longrong¡¯s words, both Chen Mobai and Bian Jingchun hesitated for a moment, but eventually agreed.


    ¡°The Daoist Academy has given her the True Dragon Ding. Since it was made from the Dragon Pulse of a different world during the war, it suits her Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture technique perfectly. But her Cultivation Level is still low, and she can barely refine it using the power of ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯, but only to the extent of one strike.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, Duanmu Longrong suddenly stopped him. Pointing at Bian Jingchun next to him, she said earnestly.


    ¡°Teacher Duanmu suggests that we shouldn¡¯t let Senior Bian use the True Dragon Ding for the second time during the exchange.¡±


    ¡°Yes, you have managed the student council well for two years. Everything in and out of the Daoist Academy has been in order. I am reassured by your steady work. However, she is a bit stubborn. In order to maintain the reputation of the Daoist Academy, she might impulsively use the True Dragon Ding regardless of her ability to handle it.¡±


    Duanmu Longrong nodded, while Bian Jingchun looked a little embarrassed, her nearly transparent white skin flushing.


    ¡°Lan Haitian has gone into seclusion, and Yan Qiongzhi isn¡¯t interested in such matters. Perhaps there isn¡¯t a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Daoist Academy who could force Senior Bian to use the True Dragon Ding?¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile, and Duanmu Longrong thought about it and found it quite true.


    Bian Jingchun, having reached the power nearing Rank-3 with the Dragon Transformation Technique, not even graduated chief students from long ago may be her match among the students in the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°After all, it¡¯s just an exchange. Even if you lose, it doesn¡¯t matter. What matters to us cultivators is who lives the longest.¡±


    After saying this to them, Duanmu Longrong waved her sleeve. The three of them just felt a lightness in their body, a flash of rainbow light before their eyes and they were no longer on the island.


    When they came to their senses, they had already left the underground lava area.


    Admiring the power of a Golden Core Cultivator, Chen Mobai returned to the Student Council on his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± along with Bian Jingchun and Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°Who¡¯s this?¡±


    Just as they stepped onto the plaza, Hua Zijing, who was sitting on the second-floor balcony petting her cat, noticed them and looked curious upon seeing the elegant lady, Bian Jingchun.


    She had a sense of familiarity about her.


    ¡°Twenty years ago, when I was the President of the Student Council, I used to enjoy sunbathing here.¡±


    Bian Jingchun looked at Hua Zijing on the balcony, covered the lower half of her face with her long sleeve, and gave a slight smile.


    ¡°Hello, senior!¡±


    After hearing the introduction from Chen Mobai and learning that Bian Jingchun was the chief graduate from the Daoist Academy 20 years ago, Hua Zijing immediately stood up on the balcony to salute her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, when I graduated, my cultivation level was about the same as yours.¡±


    Seeing that the two women knew each other, Chen Mobai was able to comfortably delegate, handing Bian Jingchun over to Hua Zijing.


    When he and Zhongli Tianyu walked into the office, Hua Zijing finally reacted. Despite having already stepped down, she was still helping, but seeing the elegant Bian Jingchun next to her, she could only grit her teeth and continue with the reception.


    ¡°Do you recognize this array plate?¡±


    In the chairman¡¯s office on the third floor, after activating the Device Nurturing Sphere with a device piece, Chen Mobai stared at the triangular array plate in his palm, posing the question to Zhongli Tianyu in a slightly puzzled manner.


    This array plate surprisingly had no information on the Map of Treasures.


    ¡°No, I don¡¯t.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu shook his head straightforwardly.


    ¡°Then why did you make me open it?¡±


    ¡°Because this array plate has withstood the influence of the Li Gua for a hundred years, it¡¯s obvious that their powers share the same origin. It will definitely be useful for your mirror.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu stated confidently. Given his understanding of the Bagua Mirror, he was certain he could not go wrong.


    ¡°Bro, are you at school? I have an array plate that I want you to help me examine.¡±


    With Zhongli Tianyu being unreliable, Chen Mobai could only make a call to his good buddy Yunyang Bing. Soon, his buddy came over, bringing along another genius of the Array Department from the Metaphysical Class, Jin Shuwei.


    ¡°It seems like this is the ¡®Three Yang One Breath Array¡¯.¡±


    Yunyang Bing specialized in ground array. whereas Jin Shuwei concentrated on the Sky Array. After examining the triangular array plate, they reached a conclusion.


    Chen Mobai then gave up his seat to them. Using the student council¡¯s computer on the desk, they quickly began searching the database for alumni who had crafted the ¡°Three Yang One Breath Array¡±, rapidly narrowing their options down to sixteen graduates.


    After a thorough comparison and review, they finally confirmed their conclusion beyond any doubt.


    ¡°What¡¯s the use of this formation?¡±


    ¡°Combined with three flying swords, it can establish a Sword Array, which can transform Sword Qi into Primordial Yang Sword Light.¡±


    After their inspection, jointly activating the array plate, a surge of soothing Yang energy effused from it, making everyone in the room feel a wave of warmth and comfort.


    ¡°And without the flying swords, the array plate alone can also maintain temperature within a certain range at the level most comfortable for the human body. The range depends on the spiritual power and spiritual energy infused.¡±


    The ¡®Three Yang¡¯ represented the Sword Array, and the ¡®One Breath¡¯ represented the Constant Temperature Field.


    Chen Mobai only drew the array plate, not the flying swords.


    Which meant, if he wished to use the Three Yang Sword Array, he¡¯d need to match it with three suitable flying swords of his own.


    And even if he manages to do so, the power reached would just be of the Sword Light level.


    Chen Mobai had already trained the Sword Sha by now. For a mere Sword Light, it seemed nowhere near impressive.


    This was a total loss.


    He lost 100 credits just like that. Chen Mobai shot a glance at Zhongli Tianyu, who was sitting on the chair.


    ¡°This array plate has absorbed some power of the Li Gua. You could try extracting it to infuse into your mirror. There¡¯s no way you can lose.¡±


    ¡°Doing so would just give a minuscule boost to the power of a Rank-3 magic artifact, and this array plate would definitely be ruined in the process.¡±

    Yunyang Bing and Jin Shuwei both advised against it.


    At this point, Chen Mobai also thought of taking the Constant Temperature Formation to South Mountain and see whether it could be used in conjunction with Yimu Thunder Water to promote the maturation of Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice and shorten the growth cycle.


    Though Constant Temperature Formations are commonplace in the Immortal Sect, Chen Mobai had not seen them in the Eastern Wilderness.


    The cultivators there would warm up or cool down themselves when it was too cold or hot.


    Moreover, speaking of Yuan Yang Sword Light, he had a Gourd Huoyang Sha in hand, which could be used to forge a ¡°Primordial Yang Sword Evil¡±.

 Chapter 494 - Chapter 494: Chapter 344: Gourd Sword Art_1

    Chapter 494: Chapter 344: Gourd Sword Art_1


    After confirming his attendance to the offline exchange meeting at the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai once again went into closed-door cultivation.


    He intends to cultivate another Sword Sha.


    According to Zuo Gong, if he wanted to withstand the power of Sword Sha with his physical body, he would need to undergo special enhancements, such as his Yin Yang Five Elements Seven Star Sword Arm.


    The main reason Chen Mobai was able to cultivate the Azure Flame Sword Sha and nourish it within his Dantian Qi Sea is because he now possesses a Fire Spirit Body, and as such, is basically immune to the majority of fire-attribute powers.


    However, outside of the fire element, if he also wanted to physically withstand the other four elements, it would be impossible.


    Chen Mobai had seen Zuo Gong¡¯s Yin Yang Five Elements Seven Star Sword Arm. Its cultivation surprisingly required the assistance of four other experts to balance the five elements. However, Zuo Gong also said that it was a result of his joint deduction with several Sword Dao experts based on his own constitution and is mainly suitable for him.


    Chen Mobai extracted the thoughts from it, then imported it into the No Form Puppet, placed the Spirit Stone and began to deduce.


    With Zuo Gong¡¯s successful direction, the No Form Puppet¡¯s deduction had a core. Even though the speed was not fast, at least there was progress every moment.


    After spending nearly twenty intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, the No Form Puppet deduced the Five Element Sword Qi, most suitable for Chen Mobai.


    This Five Element Sword Qi is to strengthen his five fingers and then use the method of Array Refining into Body to build the Five Element Sword Sha into five fingers. Finally, the sword array is formed with one hand, and the enemy is defeated.


    Chen Mobai checked the deduction process and found that some of the random contents that had been imported before were integrated.


    When he got the Underworld Array, he asked Yunyang Bing to teach him Array Refining into Body and was obsessed with this knowledge for a while.


    He later imported Array Refining materials given by Yunyang Bing and those he collected himself into the No Form Puppet for deduction, but the result showed that he needed to cultivate a powerful Body Refining Technique.


    Chen Mobai knew the importance and naturally focused on increasing realm, putting the Underworld Array and Array Refining into Body to one side.


    However, these data were still stored in the No Form Puppet, and they got used this time.


    And this time, as the No Form Puppet deduced the Five Element Sword Qi, it simultaneously included a Body Refining Technique.


    It also used the previously imported body data and related materials. Under its deduction, the remaining Tree Juice could be used to strengthen the fingertips of the five fingers separately. Combined with the vitalizing power of Camelweed, the theoretical enhancement of finger strength could withstand the Five Element Sword Sha.


    Originally, Chen Mobai obtained 30 drops of Tree Juice from the Magic Treasure Tree. After refining into the skull, there was still some left.


    According to this method, Chen Mobai had previously refined five drops of Tree Juice into the fingertips bones of his right hand. Under the Precious Fire Forging Physical Technique, he easily completed the cultivation of Longevity Dao Body Finger Bones.


    However, because the physical strength of his fingers was not enough, he could not bear the Sword Sha entering his body.


    But the second-rank Five Element Sword Qi Array Formation was no problem.


    Chen Mobai was aware of his own comprehension level, he did not cultivate those high-end and difficult Sword Techniques. In addition to his own Purple Fire Sword Light, Divine Wood Sword Light, and Black Ice Sword Light, he chose Zuo Gong¡¯s Geng Metal Sword Qi for the gold attribute and Earth Sword Glow for the earth attribute.


    The Gengjin Sword Art was the most popular in the Immortal Gate. It focused on speed and sharpness, highlighting the two characteristics of sword cultivators. It was also the most practiced, and all the difficult levels had been crossed by others.


    As for the Earth Sword Glow, it came from the ¡°Wu Earth True Method¡± which he obtained when he went to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Book Pavilion with Zhuo Ming to choose a main cultivation technique. This dirt vein technique of the Five Element Sect contained everything, just like the Longevity Sutra.


    Chen Mobai practiced a bit and quickly cultivated its Sword Light.


    The reason for choosing this technique to cultivate the Sword Light was also due to another important reason. Once this Earth Wuxu True Method is perfected, it can connect to the Supreme Technique of the Five Element Sect ¨C Primordial Dao Fruit.


    Chen Mobai believed that he is now in a position to aspire to the Primordial Dao Fruit.


    He will study it now, perhaps in the future the Divine Wood Sect will counterattack the Five Element Sect and replace the Earth Vein to become the orthodox Five Element Sect.


    With this idea, Chen Mobai quickly cultivated the Five Element Sword Light, then transformed the Sword Light into an array and refined it into the fingertips.


    Subsequently, as long as the physical strength is improved, he can try to form Sword Sha with Five Element Sword Light.


    However, the Rank-3 medicinal herb, Camelweed, needs a professional Alchemist to make medicine paste. Since Wang Xingyu hasn¡¯t left the closed-door cultivation, Chen Mobai had to ask Qing Nu again, then went to Xiao Nanshan again and asked Luo Yixuan to collect additional auxiliary medicines.

    In addition to deducing the Five Element Sword Qi, the No Form Puppet also deduced another method for condensing Sword Sha.


    If the body can¡¯t withstand it without forging, then condense the Sword Sha outside of the body and don¡¯t take it into the body after it is formed, as if refining an external Magic Artifact that can store Sword Sha.


    Chen Mobai originally wanted to try it after he cultivated the Five Element Sword Sha, but after activating the Three Yang One Qi Array Plate today, he thought of the Gourd Huoyang Sha in his storage bag.


    I can use the Three Yang Sword Array to generate Yuan Yang Sword Light, saving the time it would take for him to cultivate and transform.


    Although Sword Light Transformation can condense attribute-less Sword Light, if he wants to transform into Yuan Yang Sword Light, he still needs to be familiar with the Yuan Yang Sword Secret and at least learn the method of condensing Sword Light.

 Chapter 495 - Chapter 495: Chapter 344: Gourd Sword Art_2

    Chapter 495: Chapter 344: Gourd Sword Art_2


    For this reason, the Five Elements Sword Light, chosen by Chen Mobai, apart from the three he naturally possesses, the remaining Geng Metal and Wu Earth are easy to start with, but difficult to master.


    In order to utilize the Array Plate to generate Yuan Yang Sword Light, three Yang-attribute Flying Swords are required.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s extensive network came into play. After calling out in the Metaphysical Class and student council groups, the people in the groups helped to ask around in their respective circles, and before long, three Rank-2 Flying Swords that met the requirements were borrowed.


    Once the items were assembled, Chen Mobai immediately rented a Rank-3 Spiritual Energy Cultivation Room at the Ninth Building of Crimson Mountain.


    The triangular Array Plate was held in his palm, while three Flying Swords were levitated in the air with their hilts pointing downwards under the manipulation of his Divine Sense. The extremely pure Pure Yang Spiritual Power surged from Chen Mobai¡¯s hand, continuously infusing into the Array Plate.


    The Array Plate started, brightly lighting up with yellow Spiritual Light, which ascended like a rainbow and infused into the hilt of the Flying Sword closest to Chen Mobai.


    After the first Flying Sword had absorbed enough Spiritual Power, it began to hum, whereupon the Lesser Yang Sword Qi exhaled from the tip and fell back into the Array Plate below.


    The Array Plate transformed and ascended another rainbow light, infusing into the hilt of the second Flying Sword. After the cycle of Middle Yang Sword Qi was complete, it was time for the Old Yang Sword Qi.


    Once all three Yang Sword Qi were formed, they finally converged again on the Array Plate.


    A clear and bright yellow Sword Light formed under the surround of the three Flying Swords at the center of the Array Plate.


    The Sword Light was unfathomable and upright.


    This was the Yuan Yang Sword Light!


    Within the Immortal Sect, it could be said to be one of the highest quality Sword Lights.


    Only because Chen Mobai was practicing the Pure Yang Scroll of the same origin, and had the assistance of this Three Yang Sword Formation, could he produce it so effortlessly.


    After the Yuan Yang Sword Light was generated, it could be considered to condense the Sword Sha.


    Chen Mobai took out the Gourd Huoyang Sha that he had prepared in advance from his storage bag.


    He looked carefully at the Yellow Skin Gourd again.


    When he first bought the Qi of the Land of the Dead on Rolling Thunder Mountain, he did not notice it. It was only after playing with it several times later that he realised that this gourd was not ordinary, but a Rank-2 Spirit Plant.


    Only items of this grade can contain Rank-2 Evil Qi for a long time without damaging its spirituality.


    If other Rank-2 Evil Qi want to be stored for a long period of time, they must be refined into Evil Qi Crystals.


    For instance, the Green Wood Evil that Chen Mobai obtained before, which was not used by Xie Yuntian, was intact and nurtured in the Land of the Dead by the sect.


    Since this Yellow Skin Gourd can hold Huoyang Sha, if he pays a little attention, it might be able to cultivate Yuan Yang Sword Sha.


    After Chen Mobai confirmed that the external Sword Sha method deduced by the Nothingness Clan was okay, he recalled the content of the Yuan Yang Sword Secret¡¯s Condensing Sha that he downloaded from the National Library of the Immortal Sect. Then, he used his Divine Sense to fly the Yuan Yang Sword Qi generated by the Three Yang Sword Array in front of him. After changing the direction, he slowly fell into the Yellow Skin Gourd.


    Under the observation of the Void Spirit Eye, dark and red Qi flow in the gourd began to diverge after the Yuan Yang Sword Light was infused, forming a hollow vortex flow of Sha.


    But Chen Mobai was keen to have Sword Light condense to Sha.


    He immediately released his Divine Sense, and a leaf from the jade green parasol tree branch snapped off, transformed into an invisible blade and surged into the Yuan Yang Sword Light.


    With his control, the Yuan Yang Sword Light slowly retracted its edges, and the previously avoided Huoyang Sha, like retreating tide followed by an incoming tide, rushed towards the bright yellow Sword Light in the center of the gourd.


    The dark red Qi stream gradually seeped into the bright yellow Sword Light, dyeing it with a layer of rainbow light. It became even brighter and golden yellow, forming an orange-red color reminiscent of the dawn of the sunrise.


    This was the Yuan Yang Sword Sha!


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel joy inside.


    It was truly worth spending twenty intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, as the Five Elements Sword technique pointed out and the external Sword Sha method deduced by the Nothingness Puppet was indeed feasible.


    After ten days, when he had condensed all of the Gourd Huoyang Sha into Yuan Yang Sword Sha, Chen Mobai went to the Divine Tree Secret Realm to test its power.


    He held the Yellow Skin Gourd in his hand, gave it a gentle shake towards a patch of forest before him. A magnificent orange light burst from the mouth of the gourd. All the places it went by, the Red-sun Spirit Trees were cut in half at the waist.


    Chen Mobai swung the gourd left and right, there was not a single intact Red-sun Spirit Tree within a thousand-meter diameter around him.


    Looking at the once lush forest around him that turned into a barren logging field in an instant, he felt that he had been late in practicing this gourd. If he had this thing when he just joined the Divine Wood Sect, why would he need to laboriously cut trees with a chainsaw.


    After testing the power of the gourd a few times, Chen Mobai satisfiedly retracted the orange radiance.


    He had already given this external Sword Sha technique a very appropriate name.


    Gourd Sword Art!


    He has just cultivated the Primordial Yang Sword Evil. If he has the chance in the future, he could include the Xuan Yin Sword Evil as well, by then, he will be able to hold Yin and Yang in this gourd, achieving the Two Rites Sword Evil formation of the Sword Destruction Collection.


    He didn¡¯t know if the gourd would still be able to bear it by then.


    Chen Mobai weighed his options. The Yellow Skin Gourd was able to handle the current Primordial Yang Sword Evil without any problems due to its high quality material.


    However, as his cultivation level becomes stronger, the power of his Sword Sha will also increase day by day. If he adds the Xuan Yin Sword Sha to form the Two Rites, the current gourd may not be sufficient.


    Nevertheless, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Ming Yuhua will return by the end of the year, he can ask him if he could solve this problem from the perspective of artifact refining.


    After cultivating the Gourd Sword Art, Chen Mobai tied it to his waist with a piece of hemp rope.


    After all, he couldn¡¯t expose his storage bag when exchanging skills offline, but he might need to use the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, so he simply hung it openly on his waist.


    Just when he was about to leave the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered something.


    It had been a long time since he last tested his Spirit Root Attributes.


    He had previously checked the spiritual roots of Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye, finding that the former¡¯s Spiritual Root Value had exceeded 100. He guessed that after consuming the fruit of the Spirit Tree, he might improve his Wood Spirit Root.


    However, after reaching the state of Perfection in Foundation Establishment, he had been busy with various matters and had forgotten about this.


    Fortunately, while he was in the Divine Tree Secret Realm today, he remembered the Talent Tree, which is highly sensitive to changes in spiritual roots.


    Chen Mobai took out his Spirit-Testing Instruments and injected a stream of spiritual power into it.


    ¡°Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 46, Water 17, Fire 69, Earth 10¡±


    Seeing this value, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    After many years, he had finally turned himself into a true top-grade True Spirit Root.


    His Fire Spirit Root at 69 points was due to his Five Yang Body being close to completion.


    For over two years, he had been continuously using Spirit Stones to progress the Pure Yang Daoist Body, increasing his Fire Spirit Root by 6 points from the previous 63 points after having the Fire Spirit Body to 69 points now.


    However, correspondingly, both his Water and Wood Spirit Roots had lost 2 points.


    But his previously 26-point Wood Spirit Root has now become 46 points, which means that consuming three Spirit Tree Fruits has increased his Wood Spirit Root by 20 points.


    He wasn¡¯t exactly sure about how this increase came about, as he didn¡¯t use the Spirit-Testing Instruments every time he consumed a fruit, thus, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have a clear understanding.


    However, based on his many years of experience and Yue Zutao¡¯s example, he was able to come to a rough conclusion.


    Probably, after consuming the first fruit, his Wood Spirit Root increased by 10 points.


    Subsequently, while consuming the second and third fruit, his body developed resistance and the increased Wood Spirit Root continued to decrease, two fruits combined only increased by 10 points.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t pay much attention to the exact situation, after all, his gain was real and tangible benefits.


    No wonder he felt relaxed and happy practicing the techniques in the Longevity Sutra after reaching Perfection in Foundation Establishment.


    He originally thought it was because his realm had improved and everything appeared simpler. It turns out it was because his Wood Spirit Root had improved.

    On reaching the Talent Tree, Chen Mobai felt that he had lost out.


    He had consumed the fruits three times and experienced a change in his Spirit Root Attributes three times, which could have given him three gifts from the Talent Tree, but now he only got one.


    However, this feeling was only fleeting since he wasn¡¯t eager for the Daoist techniques of the Longevity Sect given his current realm and possession of the entire knowledge system of the Immortal Sect.


    He had previously received two fire attribute techniques for the two times his Fire Spirit Root had changed due to cultivating his Five Yang Body, but they were practically useless for him, as he hadn¡¯t even mastered the C Fire Divine Thunder yet.


    The reason why he came here each time his Spirit Root changed was simply out of habit.

 Chapter 496 - Chapter 496: Chapter 345 I will make a move_1

    Chapter 496: Chapter 345 I will make a move_1


    Chen Mobai was savoring a newly acquired wood-based spell from the Talent Tree, feeling fairly odd.


    The spell was called ¡°Jia Wood Jue.¡±


    It seemed to be of the same kind as the ¡°Pure Qing Jue¡± he had used previously to enhance the Green-sun Fire, which was also used for enhancing spiritual objects.


    It¡¯s just that the Pure Qing Jue was for enhancing fire, while the Jia Wood Jue was for enhancing wood.


    This spell allowed one to select an ordinary Rank-1 Red Sun Wood, absorb the essence of about ninety-nine similarly ranked Red Sun Woods, and upgrade it to a Rank-2 Green-sun Wood.


    However, the Jia Wood Jue seemed to be incomplete.


    Logically, there should be subsequent Parts for upgrading Green-sun Wood to Golden Yang Wood and then Golden Yang Wood to Everlife Wood.


    However, what Chen Mobai received only included the method to upgrade Red Sun Wood to Green-sun Wood.


    That seemed less appealing to him.


    Although Green-sun Wood is indeed a precious spiritual object for Qi Practitioners and many Rank-2 magic puppet artifacts within the Divine Wood Sect were made from it, for Chen Mobai, it was not much use anymore.


    Had there been a part of the technique that entailed upgrading Green-sun Wood to Golden Yang Wood, he would have been much more excited.


    That¡¯s not to say it¡¯s completely useless.


    He had cut down quite a few Red-sun Spirit Trees in the Divine Tree Secret Realm using the Gourd Sword Art; now, those could be upgraded without being wasted, potentially producing tens of Green-sun Woods.


    Of course, he will postpone dealing with this until after he travels to the Jumang Daoist Academy, as the journey was impending.


    Luckily, leaving the wood exposed to the weather for a while wouldn¡¯t hurt.


    But then Chen Mobai thought that synthesizing the thousands of felled Red-sun Spirit Trees on his own would inevitably be a vast waste of his cultivation time.


    It seemed necessary to plan ahead and create puppets for processing.


    With this in mind, Chen Mobai took out his mobile phone and returned to the Immortal Gate.


    After he stepped out of Building Nine, he was bombarded with messages.


    It was Zijing reminding him to hurry up. They were about to leave for the Jumang Daoist Academy and he, as the core member and student council president, was still out of sight.


    ¡°Senior Sun, senior Chi, you¡¯re here too.¡±


    Within the student council¡¯s residence, Chen Mobai saw the other two Foundation Establishment rank-9 graduates that Che Yucheng had invited.


    This included Sun Daoji, who graduated at the top of his class twenty-five years ago and worked with Bian Jingchun in the student council for two years, making them quite familiar with each other.


    The other, Chi Shicheng, was the oldest in their batch, having graduated thirty-five years ago. He was not top of his class and, because he didn¡¯t like socializing, he focused on technology and is now a fellow at the Immortal Gate¡¯s Ancient Biology Research Department.


    Chi Shicheng agreed to go to the Jumang Daoist Academy because he needed to observe the Big Tree for a project he had piled up, which totally coincided with the trip.


    ¡°It¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve visited Crimson Mountain, and it¡¯s not changed at all.¡±


    Sun Daoji, a tall young man with a rugged face, quickly mingled with the members of the student council, unlike Chi Shicheng, who was quieter behind his rectangle glasses. As a former top student of the Daoist Academy, he got used to socializing quickly.


    ¡°I heard senior Sun went to Wangwu Cave Sky to establish a Gold Core domain five years ago. How did it go?¡±


    In the midst of conversation, Bian Jingchun asked a question she was very concerned about.


    In the Immortal Gate, Foundation Establishment rank-9 cultivators with no criminal record could apply to relevant Immortal Gate departments for the opening of a Gold Core domain, using a realm portal.


    Despite there being hundreds of Foundation Establishment rank-9 cultivators, the realm portal is very valuable, and every activation requires a personal intervention from a Nascent Soul cultivator.


    As top-level beings of the Immortal Gate, they naturally cannot be constantly on call for opening realms to establish a Gold Core domain.


    Thus, applications from Foundation Establishment rank-9 cultivators are temporarily put on hold by the Immortal Gate until a sufficient number have accumulated, at which time they are reported to the three Hall Masters. A free Nascent Soul cultivator is then invited to activate the realm portal.


    This process could take as little as ten years, or it could span two or three decades.


    Of course, there is one other scenario. If a Foundation Establishment cultivator successfully forms a Core, such a person could quickly arrange to use the Realm Portal to establish a Gold Core domain through the Immortal Gate¡¯s application process. In this case, Foundation Establishment cultivators who were already in line for realm establishment could take advantage of the situation.


    For this reason, once Immortal Gate cultivators reach rank-9 in the Foundation Establishment stage, they will immediately submit an application, knowing that they will have plenty of time to reach the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment while they wait.


    Bian Jingchun had just broken through to Foundation Establishment rank-9 three years ago, and she missed the opportunity five years previous when the Law Hall Master opened the portal.


    ¡°If I were successful, the Immortal Gate would have publicized it, and the whole world would know by now.¡±


    Sun Daoji joked, causing Bian Jingchun to let out a subtle smile.


    ¡°Out of the ten of us in the same batch, my performance was okay at best. I just managed to comprehend the Power of Void. The subsequent step of Shattering True Void to establish a domain, however, was completely beyond my reach.¡±

    ¡°Xia Hou Weihuan was the closest to succeeding, followed by Tao Mingqing from the Primordial Elemental Academy, and Lou Fengcheng from the Repairing Heaven Institute.¡±


    ¡°They had all comprehended enough Power of Void, but failed in Shattering True Void. Even with the assistance of the realm portal, they couldn¡¯t establish and congeal the Gold Core domain.¡±


    After hearing Sun Daoji¡¯s words, the always silent Chi Shicheng chimed in.


    ¡°The key to creating a Gold Core domain lies in the first step. Only by absorbing sufficient Power of Void with your divine sense, can you shatter the True Void in the next step and create enough Void Fragments to congeal a domain.¡±


    Chi Shicheng graduated the earliest among those present, and his realm was already complete in the Foundation Establishment stage. He went to Wangwu Cave Sky to open the Gold Core domain using the realm portal before even Sun Daoji did.

 Chapter 497 - Chapter 497: Chapter 345: I Will Take Action_2

    Chapter 497: Chapter 345: I Will Take Action_2


    ¡°Considering what Brother Chi has said, could it be that you have stepped into the latter two steps?¡±


    Sun Daoji¡¯s eyes sparkled, only those who had personally experienced the establishment of the Gold Core Domain could understand the meaning behind Chi Shicheng¡¯s words.


    ¡°My accumulation is insufficient, and I stopped upon reaching the Shattering True Void step, unable to glimpse the mystery of the final establishment.¡±


    Chi Shicheng sighed, this matter had always been a regret in his heart.


    ¡°Yes, I feel that even if I were to experience it a few more times, I probably won¡¯t be able to achieve that final step of establishment. I don¡¯t know how Lan Haitian and Yan Qiongzhi managed to do it.¡±


    Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators that are still alive in the Immortal Sect, only Lan Haitian and Yan Qiongzhi have opened the Gold Core Domain.


    It was precisely because he understood the difficulty of this, it made Sun Daoji respect them even more.


    ¡°Lan Haitian is incredibly talented, he has cultivated both the Yin and Yang parts of the Six Sovereign Scripture Technique. The vibration of his Yuan Magnetic Force could naturally perceive the movement of the void. I estimate he had undergone relevant training and preparation long before opening the Gold Core Domain.¡±


    ¡°Due to Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s low key personality, there is not much information about her. Based on my theoretical analysis over the years, however, she could have temporarily elevated her Ice Spirit Power to the Vacuum Frozen Estate Realm, thus leading all others in the Shattering True Void step, establishing enough Void Fragments.¡±


    As a researcher, Chi Shicheng became more eloquent when speaking about these.


    ¡°Does that mean that Taishi Shu might also be successful in establishing the Gold Core Domain when she reaches the Foundation Establishment stage?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Hua Zijing, also present in the room, expressed her surprise. After welcoming Bian Jingchun, it seemed she accepted Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng¡¯s arrivals and helped them arrange accommodations and meals.


    Therefore, during Chen Mobai¡¯s discussion and exchange, Hua Zijing also sat to the side and listened, cuddling her white cat.


    Apart from her, Zhongli Tianyu and Zhuang Jialan were also present. The former, being the designated next president, had already set up a mascot at the student union under Chen Mobai¡¯s arrangement.


    ¡°Taishi Shu only cultivated the Yang part of the Six Sovereign Scripture Technique. If the bipolar Yuan magnet only becomes a single pole, I do not know whether it is helpful for opening the Gold Core Domain. However, as Kunpeng Daoist Institute is the number one Immortal Sect with the most heritage, it is not unlikely she might succeed.¡±


    Over the years, Taishi Shu had used her powers often in Little Red Sky, and her Cultivation Technique was easily scrutinized.


    She used the power of the Yuan Magnet but it wasn¡¯t as domineering and mature as Lan Haitian¡¯s. Even so, she was already invincible except for veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators like Xiahou Weihuan and Sima Xingyu.


    Even if only one part of the Six Sovereign Scripture Technique is cultivated, it is extremely formidable.


    Chen Mobai barely managed to use Sword Light when he was nearly caught off guard by Nangong Xiu, who had merely cultivated the Rain part.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if the Gold Core Domain is not cultivated. Worst comes to worst, just try it after reaching Core Formation.¡±


    Sun Daoji laughed heartily, comforting himself.


    Chen Mobai immediately changed the topic and started discussing potential formidable opponents they might encounter at the offline exchange meeting.


    ¡°Pei Qingshuang from Mountain Sea Academy passes with flying colors in Sword Dao Realm and has even inherited Hao Cao¡¯s teachings. It is rumored that even Lan Haitian wouldn¡¯t dare to confront her directly.¡±


    ¡°Wen Renshui from Jumang Daoist Institute, a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator, is as low-key as Yan Qiongzhi. Although she reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment at graduation, it¡¯s been said that she has been cultivating the remaining two Spirit Root Enhancement Techniques these years, intending to gather and cultivate the three Heavenly Spiritual Roots of Lasting Spring Cultivation. It¡¯s unclear as to her current status.¡±


    ¡°In addition to these two female cultivators, Qi Huanzhi from Kunpeng Daoist Institute has cultivated the Light part of the Six Sovereign Scripture Technique and should not be underestimated. He has only ever lost to Lan Haitian.¡±


    The list of participants from all the major Daoist Academies attending this offline exchange was announced two days ago. While Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know many of the people on the list, Bian Jingchun and the others were quite familiar with them.


    They are all top-tier masters ranked in the top twenty among their circle of ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    ¡°If I were to face them in battle, I assume I could only hold out for a few dozen moves, enough to force out some of their abilities. If we want to win glory for our academy, Brother Chi and Sister Bian might be needed.¡±


    Sun Daoji was very self-aware. He clearly knew where he stood among the ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivators and admitted that he wasn¡¯t too confident about facing off against opponents like Pei Qingshuang.


    ¡°I am a researcher. My battle capability is average.¡±


    Meanwhile, Chi Shicheng sitting next to him opened his hands, indicating he was mainly there to observe the Big Tree and shouldn¡¯t be expected to battle.


    ¡°Brother Chi is being too modest. You have achieved Perfection in Foundation Establishment and have the highest realm among us.¡±


    Sun Daoji looked unconvinced.


    ¡°What I¡¯m saying is true. If we¡¯re really talking about magic duels, I suspect I wouldn¡¯t even measure up to you.¡±


    Hearing Chi Shicheng¡¯s words, Sun Daoji was puzzled. Based on what he knew about Che Yucheng, he was sure that a capable expert should have been arranged to control the situation.


    If he had no confidence, and Chi Shicheng was a researcher, then there was only one option left.


    Everyone turned to look at Bian Jingchun who nodded and spoke honestly.


    ¡°The Daoist Academy lent me the True Dragon Ding.¡±


    Hearing this, Sun Daoji took a long breath of relief. As long as someone could handle things, it was fine.


    Chi Shicheng, on the other hand, started to sparkle. The Rank-4 True Dragon Ding was also related to a backlog of his department. He hoped to take this opportunity to research it well.


    At this point, Chen Mobai finally understood why Duanmu Longrong said those words to him when he was leaving.


    The Daoist Academy this time, in order to win a good reputation in the offline exchange, and not to be suppressed by the academies such as Taiyuan, Pure Yang, and Shanhai, might really need Bian Jingchun to harness the power of the True Dragon Ding.


    ¡°Sister Bian, the power of the True Dragon Ding is too domineering. If you encounter an opponent that you can¡¯t defeat, it¡¯s okay to give up. You can¡¯t harm your foundation because of the rankings of an offline exchange.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke to Bian Jingchun after he understood the matter.


    ¡°I know you are entrusted by Teacher Duanmu, but the Daoist Academy has nurtured me and lent me the True Dragon Ding to cultivate the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique. If I can trade a few years of foundation for the title of being the first in the Daoist Academy, I would be more than happy.¡±


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy had been weak among the four for a long time. Although in the past two years, because of Chen Mobai¡¯s exaggerated undefeated record in Little Red Sky, it had regained some of its past glory.


    But in the eyes of some, the Dance Tool Dao Academy had merely produced a promising Chen Mobai.


    In terms of real strength, it fell short of the other three major Daoist Academies, and it might even be inferior to the top three academies among the top ten, such as Taiyuan.


    Bian Jingchun was proud to be a graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. She wanted to take this opportunity to claim the first place for the Academy.


    Step by step, when Chen Mobai reaches the Perfection of Foundation Establishment in the future, he can once again support the academy.


    If the Dance Tool Dao Academy can maintain the first place in successive exchanges among the Daoist Academy, it can reestablish its glory and recover its status at its peak time.


    ¡°As for ranking, some people think it¡¯s important, but in my opinion, it¡¯s just a number.¡±


    ¡°In this exchange, no matter what our ranking in the Dance Tool Dao Academy, we will always be one of the four major academies, the Holy Land in the hearts of a million cultivators.¡±


    ¡°Dropping in rank for a few years is not a problem at all. After all, we only recruit a few tens of new students each year. Moreover, given the choice between the Daoist Academy and academies, ten thousand would choose the Daoist Academy.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words left Sun Daoji very satisfied.


    Indeed, the graduates of the Daoist Academy and other schools were at completely different levels.


    In the hearts of countless cultivators, the Four Major Daoist Academies were sacred places.


    Perhaps some sacred places were higher than others, but even the combined allure of the Ten Major Academies could not equal their Dance Tool Dao Academy.

    ¡°Since you said that, little brother, I¡¯ll agree to it. I will only call on the power of the True Dragon Ding once.¡±


    Bian Jingchun had no other option when she heard this and could only shake her head helplessly.


    ¡°No, sister, what I¡¯m saying is, you shouldn¡¯t use it at all.¡±


    ¡°In this offline exchange, you all just need to perform according to your normal level. Regardless of who comes from the academy this time, our Dance Tool Dao Academy will always be the first.¡±


    ¡°Because, I will take action!¡±

 Chapter 498 - Chapter 498: Chapter 346: The First Appearance of Sword Sha_1

    Chapter 498: Chapter 346: The First Appearance of Sword Sha_1


    When Sun Daoji and the others heard Chen Mobai¡¯s confident words, they were all completely befuddled.


    ¡°Junior brother, although you¡¯ve been wreaking havoc within Little Red Sky, facing those in the late Foundation Establishment stage, especially those who have reached perfection at the ninth level, isn¡¯t something that can simply be resolved by generating Sword Light. Many of them have even gone farther than you on the path of Sword Light,¡±


    Bian Jingchun cautioned him in good intention. For instance, Xiahou Weihuan from Pure Yang Academy, whose Primordial Yang Sword Light has reached its peak and can only be suppressed by Lan Haitian.


    ¡°Yes, younger brother, in this offline exchange, maybe you can just participate a bit. If you meet those who are in the late stages of the Foundation Establishment challenging you, it¡¯s okay to admit defeat. Your talent is the strongest the Daoist Academy has seen in a century. The future holds great promise for you. You can always wait ten or twenty years to win.¡±


    Sun Daoji also joined in the persuasion.


    The current top disciple of the Daoist Academy has a cultivation level at only the third layer of Foundation Establishment, but his talent for Magic Duels is well-known throughout the Immortal Gate. Everyone believes that, given time to grow, Chen Mobai is invincible among his peers at the same cultivation level.


    The most fiercely debated thread on the Immortal Gate Forum in recent years is titled: ¡°If Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian are both at the ninth layer of the Foundation Establishment level and the latter doesn¡¯t use the Gold Core domain, who would win?¡±


    This thread has sparked thousands of debates over the years.


    Thirty percent of people believe Chen Mobai can win, fifty percent believe Lan Haitian is invincible, and twenty percent believe that it would end in a draw.


    This result shocks many in the Immortal Gate.


    Lan Haitian has an illustrious reputation and is undeniably the top figure of the Foundation Building Realm. Chen Mobai is only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet thirty percent of people believe that at the same level, Chen Mobai can win!


    But these thirty percent have their reasons. Many have analyzed hundreds of Magic Duel videos where Chen Mobai ran amuck in Little Red Sky, which can all be found online.


    Most agree that despite this first disciple of the Dance Tool Dao Academy chiefly relying on his unbeatable Sword Light, many of his opponents have been at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. His easy and comfortable wins against stronger opponents demonstrate his far superior Magic Duel skills and awareness.


    His battles against Lu Qiulong and Nangong Xiu were hailed as peak battles, in which he defeated these geniuses of magic duels from the Immortal Gate despite being at a disadvantage in cultivation level, his Sword Dao, Technique Law, decisions, and on-the-spot judgments were all excellent, which is why he is referred to as the ¡°Battle Law Victory¡±.


    ¡°Although there is a saying that ¡®power shifts from one side to the other in thirty years, never underestimate the young and poor,¡¯ I don¡¯t want to wait that long. I want to restore the glory of the academy this year.¡±


    Chen Mobai lightly laughed while speaking, and then, under the frowning and about-to-persuade-again faces of Sun Daoji and others, he spit out a ray of emerald-blue light from his mouth towards the window.


    At the moment when the light was flickering, everyone present felt their scalps tingle.


    The terrifyingly hot aura made them all feel their blood boil at the sight of the emerald-blue light. It felt as though they had fallen into a high-temperature furnace, and their whole bodies were drenched in sweat.


    ¡°This is ¡ª Sword Sha!¡±


    Chi Shicheng was the first to recognize it. He cried out in shock and stood up.


    Chen Mobai smiled slightly and retracted his Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    ¡°As you know, I come from Red Sandstone City. There, forests of jade-green phoenix trees abound. There¡¯s a Green Wood Evil Cave that the resource department of the Immortal Gate and the Red Dawn Institution have jointly revived. Although the price was steep, they sold me some Green Wood Evil because I¡¯m a student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    Among the seven types of earth sha that the Immortal Gate is allowed to mine, five represent the Five Elements.


    Because the essence of the Five Elements is the source of everything, it¡¯s easiest to break down and revive the Five Element Earth Sha.


    This is why Zuo Gong chose to cultivate the Geng Metal Sword Demon, because this sha can be purchased, and there¡¯s no need to artificially synthesize it by condensing the essence of the Five Elements themselves.


    Thanks to its unique conditions, the Red Dawn Institution does indeed have Green Wood Sha to collect, centered around that rank-4 jade-green phoenix tree.


    Every once in a while, the flagship store of the Red Dawn Institution on the Immortal Gate website will also put Green Wood Sha on sale.


    This is why Chen Mobai dared to reveal his Green Flames Sword Sha.


    ¡°Looking at the appearance of junior brother¡¯s Sword Sha, is it the Qingyang Sword Jue that evolved from the Pure Yang Scroll?¡±


    Chi Shicheng stared at Chen Mobai, his eyes shining brightly. The Sword Sha is typically cultivated by Jiedan Sword Cultivators, and among those at the Foundation Building Realm, only a few people have been able to cultivate it in a thousand years.


    The most famous of them is the one deeply associated with their Dance Tool Dao Academy, the old ancestor Bai Guang.


    This makes for a great research subject!


    ¡°Indeed, it is the Qingyang Sword Jue. However, I felt that this sword technique doesn¡¯t fully match my temperament, so I used the No-form Mannequin to re-enact the technique, making it perfectly aligned with my intentions. As a result, in practical training, my Sword Sha is slightly different from the orthodox Qingyang Sword Sha.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Green Flames Sword Sha may look similar to Qingyang Sword Sha, but they are completely different.


    But he¡¯d already come up with an excuse beforehand.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Junior brother is indeed extraordinarily talented. With his talent in Sword Dao, I imagine he surpasses even Pei Qingshuang from the Mountain and Sea Academy.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Sun Daoji didn¡¯t doubt at all but believed him completely.


    Not just him, Bian Jingchun and Chi Shicheng also nodded and began praising Chen Mobai¡¯s exceptional Sword Dao talent.


    As for Hua Zijing, Zhuang Jialan, and Zhongli Tianyu, they¡¯re even more so.


    The first two have watched Chen Mobai¡¯s battles in Little Red Sky over the past two years. Although they had complaints about him frequently disappearing and not acting as the club president, they had blind faith in their club president¡¯s Magic Duel and Sword Dao talents.

 Chapter 499 - Chapter 499: Chapter 346: The Initial Power of Sword Sha_2

    Chapter 499: Chapter 346: The Initial Power of Sword Sha_2


    Zhongli Tianyu was slightly puzzled, wondering wasn¡¯t Chen Mobai a master of the Thunder method?


    How come his Sword Dao was even stronger than the Thunder method!


    [It seems that during our last fight, he didn¡¯t want me to lose too quickly, too miserably, so he switched to the Thunder method, which he¡¯s not as good at.]


    Chen Mobai had no idea that Zhongli Tianyu was mentally praising him for being so powerful, yet so gentle.


    When facing the praises from the three elder graduates, he humbly responded, explaining that he had to mortgage his own factory to earn the Good Deed Points to purchase the Green Wood Evil. However, for the reputation of the Daoist Academy, he considered this sacrifice necessary.


    ¡°After you¡¯ve learned your Sword Sha, you probably haven¡¯t had any opponents to test it out on, right?¡±


    Bian Jingchun suddenly said with a light smile.


    ¡°You mean¡­¡±


    ¡°Just so happens that my Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture has also made progress under the True Dragon Ding. I need a suitable opponent to test it out.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai struggled for a response.


    ¡°The power of my Sword Sha is hard to control, if it hurts senior sister¡­¡±


    ¡°President, you two can fight in a customized room within the Little Red Sky. This way, you can fully enjoy the sensation of exerting your full power without having to worry about injuring each other.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan, who had been helping pour tea all along, offered a great suggestion.


    ¡°Right, right, I¡¯ve forgotten about that.¡±


    Chen Mobai, accustomed to the chaotic killing in the Little Red Sky rankings, had forgotten about this new feature that was brought about with the addition of the Primordial Yang Sword.


    ¡°Junior brother, please go full force.¡±


    When Bian Jingchun said this, she was full of fighting spirit. She felt that if she fully utilized the Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture, she would be able to fend off the Sword Sha attacks.


    Inside the Little Red Sky.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s projection gradually solidified. Opposite him, the tall and slender Bian Jingchun slightly bowed to him and then suddenly lit up in bright later. In an instant, she transformed into a white dragon, hovering in the sky.


    At the same time, others like Hua Zijing who knew the room password also entered to watch the match.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t expect that, even though senior sister Bian hasn¡¯t reached Core Formation, she has already reached Transform into a Dragon state. The True Dragon Ding is really extraordinary.¡±


    Chi Shicheng, a researcher of ancient life forms for whom dragons are a major topic, couldn¡¯t help but marvel at the sight of Bian Jingchun turning into a white dragon.


    Normally, the Transform into a Dragon state for a Foundation Establishment cultivator would only involve growing a pair of horns. If the cultivator¡¯s Demonic Beast blood level was higher, they might grow a couple of whiskers.


    But the way Bian Jingchun turned into a nearly fully-formed dragon is very rare.


    ¡°I remember when she was in the Daoist Academy, apart from the Transform into a Dragon technique, she also practiced Jade Bone Heavenly Vessel, Jade Muscle Immortal Body, and the Jade Dragon God¡¯s Mind Picture. With this foundation of three techniques, she can manifest this White Dragon form under the Qi of Dragon Vein of the True Dragon Ding.¡±


    Sun Daoji was student union president at the Dance Tool Dao Academy when Bian Jingchun joined. The Transform into a Dragon technique is a mystery, so he specially paid attention to it.


    It was because she divided her time between two Body Training Techniques and one Art of Divine Consciousness that Bian Jingchun only just reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment at the time of her graduation.


    But she was steadily improving, and now with her Transform into a Dragon technique completed, she could rank among the top twenty at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.


    If she leverages the power of the True Dragon Ding, it¡¯s estimated that apart from Lan Haitian, no one can be certain to win against her.


    ¡°It¡¯s starting.¡±


    Hua Zijing shouted.


    In the center of the battlefield, the slender white dragon opened its mouth and breathed out a stream of jade white air. It seemed like a cold frost wave, making all five of the spectators shiver involuntarily.


    In the face of such an attack, Chen Mobai, who did not have to worry about casualties or losing spiritual power, felt an exhilarating sense of freedom.


    Even he himself didn¡¯t know just how powerful he could be when giving his all.


    Today is a good day to try it out.


    He hope that Bian Jingchun could hold on a bit longer.


    Chen Mobai laughed heartily, then opened his mouth to spit out a cyan streak of light. It shimmered like a raging mountain fire, and in an instant turned into a sweeping sky fire.


    As the Green Flames Sword Slaughter passed by, the jade white frost wave was cleaved apart, spilling to the sides.


    In a short while, a thin layer of frost snow covered the terrain beside Chen Mobai.


    But the Green Flames Sword Slaughter had also reached the white dragon at this time.


    It seemed like Bian Jingchun wanted to test the power of this Sword Sha, as she didn¡¯t avoid it. Her eyes emanated a crystalline jade light, and her entire body suddenly turned transparent, looking like a dragon sculpture made entirely of white crystal.


    Jade-colored scales shimmered to life, clearly visible.


    ¡°After transforming into a dragon, the strongest Dragon Scale defense can be compared to that of Rank-3.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu knew the Transform into a Dragon technique well, and upon seeing this, his eyebrows raised in surprise.


    The Qi of Dragon vein of True Dragon Ding could actually reach this level!


    ¡°The power of Sword Sha is truly of Rank-3, and as it comes from a Sword Cultivator, it is the strongest in offense. I¡¯m afraid Dragon Scales might not be able to withstand it.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Sun Daoji didn¡¯t miss any detail of their confrontation as he expressed his opinion.


    By this time, the Green Flames Sword Slaughter had already intruded between the eyes of the white dragon.


    A series of diamond-shaped dragon scales lit up. Between the scale gaps, golden lines appeared, outlining a net that covered the entire body.


    This is the Dragon Scale defense, regardless of where the opponent¡¯s attack hits, it would have to contend with all the dragon scales.


    Only after bypassing the defense of all the dragon scales could one injure Bian Jingchun.

 Chapter 500 - Chapter 500: Chapter 346: Sword Shas Initial Display of Power_3

    Chapter 500: Chapter 346: Sword Sha¡¯s Initial Display of Power_3


    However, it was clear that the power of Sword Sha greatly exceeded Bian Jingchun¡¯s expectations.


    A pang of pain arose at her brow, Bian Jingchun felt that her dragon scale defense had barely resisted the sharpness of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter. But as time went on, her dragon scales, under the assault of Sword Evil Slash, were being slowly worn down. Worse still, an invisible heat seeped through the external dragon scales, striking at her physical form.


    So hot!


    In no time, Bian Jingchun felt as if the blood in her body was starting to boil.


    Meanwhile, the pain in her brow began to feel intensely hot.


    Chen Mobai extended two fingers of his right hand and executed the Sun Raising Technique to enhance the power of flames. In an instant, the power of Green Flames Sword Slaughter was heightened to its peak.


    The Green Flames Sword Slaughter burned, eroded, and ignited, its triple power unleashed simultaneously. The white dragon transformed by Bian Jingchun barely held on.


    A layer of dragon scales guarding her form began to crack, the golden Scale Net also started to dim and shrink.


    The moment the Scale Net retracted to her brow, it would mean the absolute defeat of Bian Jingchun.


    But at that instant, Chen Mobai remembered they were in the Little Red Sky.


    This meant, he could disregard the damage to his opponent and his own loss.


    So, he performed the ¡°Flame Explosion Technique¡±.


    The desperate method recorded in the Pure Yang Scroll, which exploded flames, was a destruction technique that exceeded his limits.


    If it were outside Little Red Sky, he would definitely refrain from performing Flame Explosion Technique, as it would mean the permanent loss of his painstakingly refined Green Flames Sword Slaughter, an irretrievable loss.


    But here, with Bian Jingchun¡¯s admirable Dragon Scale defense, Chen Mobai was curious to see the extent of Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡¯s power at full force.


    At this moment, under the shocked expressions of the onlooking spectators such as Hua Zijing, all with open mouths in disbelief.


    The white dragon, which was struggling mid-air, was caught in a dazzling light, as though mirrored, and in an instant, was cut in two.


    The left and right halves of the white dragon, cleaved by Sword Sha, had flames combusting at the wound, evaporating its blood and turning its flesh and scales to ashes, leaving only a skewered dragon skeleton that fell to the ground, in just two to three breaths.


    With a ¡°crack¡±, the dragon-shaped skeleton enveloped in green flames scattered across the ground, projecting a faint illusion of Bian Jingchun¡¯s shocked expression amidst the radiance.


    Suddenly, the scene changed for the spectators, finding themselves back in the office.


    After the duel was decided, the self-customized room in Little Red Sky disappeared, and the spectators were naturally brought back.


    ¡°Hmm¡­¡±


    The moment they returned, a sound of painful groaning was heard from Bian Jingchun, her skin reddened, fell onto the sofa, appearing as if she just came out from a sauna.


    ¡°Bad luck, junior brother was too harsh. The sensation of dying and losing in the Little Red Sky followed her out.¡±


    Sun Daoji frowned upon seeing this scene.


    As Hua Zijing was about to call for the campus doctor, Chen Mobai also came out.


    Seeing the state Bian Jingchun was in, he was somewhat at a loss.


    He never expected that the full force of Green Flames Sword Slaughter would be so formidable, and it even seemed to have damaged the Divine Sense.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m just tired, I just need some time to recover.¡±


    Bian Jingchun, panting, stopped Hua Zijing. She then closed her eyes, and the shadow of a square blue cauldron appeared above her heart. An unseen and vast dignity spread out, slowly suppressing her body¡¯s stress response.


    ¡°Junior brother, I am a girl after all. Couldn¡¯t you have been a bit more gentle?¡±


    A quarter of an hour later, although Bian Jingchun¡¯s face was still flushed, her body had recovered to normal. She opened her eyes and said in an annoyed voice.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say not to hold back?¡±

 Chapter 501 - Chapter 501: Chapter 347: Repairing the Sky and Dance Instruments_1

    Chapter 501: Chapter 347: Repairing the Sky and Dance Instruments_1


    Before leaving for Jumang Daoist Academy, Bian Jingchun challenged Chen Mobai to a duel in the Little Red Sky.


    But in their subsequent encounter, she behaved honestly, no longer stubbornly resisting Sword Sha.


    Even so, she could only stand her ground for a little while longer.


    After losing ten out of ten duels, Bian Jingchun still persisted. She wanted to continue sharpening her newly accomplished Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique through battle. But Chen Mobai, who had by now nearly mastered the Green Flame Sword Slaughter, made an excuse about conserving energy and stopped pummeling her.


    At this time, Zhuang Jialan announced that the entire team for the offline exchange had finally gathered.


    Among them, aside from Zhongli Tianyu and Zha Jianbai arranged by Chen Mobai himself, there was another familiar face ¨C Jiang Yuyuan.


    ¡°Jiang, are you coming to this event alone?¡±


    Chen Mobai curiously asked. After catching sight of him, Chen Mobai remembered that Meng Huang had seemingly sent a message earlier. What did it say?


    ¡°Yes. I will graduate next year then head to Xianwu Hall¡¯s Arts Division for further studies. For the near future, apart from cultivating, I will be participating in various performances organized by the officials. So, I want to take advantage of this little bit of freedom to explore different places.¡±


    Jiang Yuyuan was a handsome man, appealing to both sexes. His impeccable physique, handsome face, and slightly tanned skin blended to embody a male charm of gallantry and bravery.


    As a promising Gold Core Daoist who could potentially cultivate the Shocking God Sonata, Jiang Yuyuan gradually pulled out of Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe after his Foundation Establishment, with prominent individuals already arranging his path towards Core Formation.


    ¡°Sixty years of performances will just meet the minimum required tenure of Xianwu Hall, and I will receive a Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill.¡±


    Hearing Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s words, everyone looked at him with envy.


    Even the top graduates of Dance Tool Dao Academy like Sun Daoji and Bian Jingchun couldn¡¯t guarantee receiving a Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill after sixty years of public service.


    Because there were too many people in line.


    On the contrary, Chi Shicheng possessed a relatively greater chance of getting the pill since he was a valuable researcher who had completed some challenging projects over the years.


    Upon serving the minimum sixty years in Xianwu Hall¡¯s Arts Division, Jiang Yuyuan would receive a Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, naturally eliciting envy from everyone.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity. I guess Meng Huang doesn¡¯t stand a chance. I heard she still hasn¡¯t cultivated the threshold method.¡±


    A member of the student association expressed regret. Hearing this, Jiang Yuyuan slightly furrowed his brows.


    ¡°Yeah, but she¡¯s always had limited talent. Unlike us who got in by passing exams. Her failing to establish her foundation is quite normal.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s demeanor showed a hint of displeasure. He glanced at the speakers, and one of them who was about to speak instantly fell silent.


    ¡°President, Teacher Luo is here.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan, seeing the gloomy atmosphere, rushed over to inform them.


    ¡°Jialan, please entertain Senior Jiang and give him the Dance Instruments Red and Black Robe.¡±


    For this trip, they were representing the Dance Tool Dao Academy, so they had to wear uniform clothing. Once the participant list was confirmed, the student association collected each person¡¯s measurements and sought help from the Refining Implement Department to make the robes.


    After nodding apologetically to Jiang Yuyuan, whose expression remained unchanged, Chen Mobai headed towards his office.


    Although he was technically the leader of the Dance Tool Dao Academy team, the Academy would certainly assign a teacher to support them.


    Luckily, this year, the Academy¡¯s collection was open ahead of schedule, and Luo Hezheng had completed his duties early, so he volunteered for the task.


    ¡°My main purpose for this trip is to exchange some precious medicinal herbs and elixirs at Jumang Daoist Academy. You can handle the arrangements for the offline exchange.¡±


    The first sentence Luo Hezheng uttered upon meeting stunned Chen Mobai a little, but it was good news to him.


    ¡°Understood, Teacher Luo.¡±


    Before long, it was time for their departure.


    On the third floor of the student association building, Chen Mobai, with Zhuang Jialan¡¯s assistance, put on his Dance Instruments Red and Black Robe in the president¡¯s office.


    By his side, Hua Zijing held a comb, helping him to tie his lush black hair, that had regained its vitality, into a high ponytail.


    ¡°This might be the last time you help me do my hair.¡±


    As Chen Mobai sat in front of the mirror, observing his composed demeanor in the long-sleeved robe, he suddenly said this to Hua Zijing, who was standing beside him.


    ¡°Of course, from now onwards, Jialan will be the one helping you.¡±


    Hua Zijing, her face tinged with a hint of nostalgia, picked up the Flying Sparrow Hairpin from the table and gracefully inserted it into the bun she had made.


    ¡°Which department of Xianwu Hall did you choose?¡±


    Standing up, Chen Mobai asked.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t my choice. I¡¯ve been assigned to a bureau under the civil and political affairs department of Xianwu Hall. I may be sent to a blessed land or a cave dwelling realm for a ten to twenty year initial practice. After which, I will slowly accumulate seniority with hopes of advancing my position through connections.¡±


    Given Hua Zijing¡¯s abilities, becoming a public servant was quite easy. As a disciple of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, she had more networking opportunities than the average individuals for getting a vacancy, which was the toughest part of the journey. However, she was uncertain about her final posting.


    She would have to wait for the retirement, or forced retirement, of an existing civil servant in one of the bureaus this year.


    ¡°In that case, I hope you get assigned to Danxia City.¡±


    Chen Mobai stroked his chin as he said this. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t intend to become an official after graduation. Instead, he planned to engage in business to earn Good Deed Points. If Hua Zijing were assigned to his hometown, it would indeed be a joyful meeting of old friends.

 Chapter 502 - Chapter 502: Chapter 347: Repairing the Sky and Dance Instruments _2

    Chapter 502: Chapter 347: Repairing the Sky and Dance Instruments _2


    ¡°No way, I also have ambitions. I want to make some achievements in the Great Hollow Heaven.¡±


    Hua Zijing spoke with disdain.


    Chen Mobai laughed heartily.


    ¡°It¡¯s time, President.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan, standing by, reminded him, and upon hearing this, the three of them, including Chen Mobai, headed towards the outside door.


    In this trip, a total of ten people from the Dance Tool Dao Academy joined the team to participate in this offline exchange meeting.


    Apart from Bian Jingchun, there were Chen Mobai, Zhongli Tianyu, Zha Jianbai, Jiang Yuyuan, Zhuang Jialan, and two other tenth graders in the foundation establishment stage. Just like Hua Zijing, they were all graduation candidates this year. But having fewer achievements than Hua Zijing, they were eager to participate in this offline exchange meeting of the Daoist Academy to enhance their credentials.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, the flight path has been applied.¡±


    Just when the three of them walked to downstairs, Luo Hezheng put down the phone and spoke to them.


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy had its own flying artifact.


    But to fly over the territory of the Heavenly Dao, all flying artifacts needed to apply for a flight path from the aviation authority.


    Chen Mobai gave instructions to the three vice-presidents, asking them to facilitate communication and exchange between teachers and students during the end of the term, and to stand their last class of the year firmly.


    ¡°Zijing, if you have time, come and help.¡±


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai said to Hua Zijing, who was on the side. Although she had resigned, he still thought she should step up at this time.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll handle things here, Jialan, this guy can be a bit slow sometimes, take care of him on this trip.¡±


    Hua Zijing, who didn¡¯t argue for once, nodded her head, and then gave instructions to Zhuang Jialan, who was leaving with the team.


    As the secretary general, Zhuang Jialan had to assist in arranging accommodations in the Jumang Daoist Academy for the accompanying group, so she was also included in the team.


    ¡°Okay, senior.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan nodded solemnly.


    Vroom!


    When Chen Mobai led everyone to the area above the Treasure Trove, a flying artifact was already floating mid-air, making a tremendous noise while stirring up the air currents.


    It was a bullet-headed, elliptical flying artifact with wings near the tail.


    Luo Hezheng flew up first, opened the cabin door and entered.


    After Chen Mobai led the team in, they found that there were sofas and seats enough for twenty people to ride.


    ¡°Everyone, find a seat. Due to the flight speed limit in the Heavenly Gate, we cannot fly at the maximum speed. It will take three days to arrive at the Linwu Hollow Heaven.¡±


    As Luo Hezheng spoke, he took out a card and inserted it into a groove on the flying artifact¡¯s workstation. He then entered the flight path password authorized by the Heavenly Gate Aviation Authority onto the control panel. Soon, Chen Mobai and the others felt a strong pushing sensation at their backs.


    Linwu Hollow Heaven.


    As the location of the Jumang Daoist Academy, it is one of the most alpha green hilly areas in the Heavenly Gate.


    Sitting in the Daoist Academy¡¯s flying artifact, Chen Mobai and his team looked through the windows and saw that the mountainous landscape below was covered in green. Looking from the sky, it was like a green ocean covering the vast earth.


    As their flying altitude decreased, towering trees started to emerge into view, their golden leaves signifying a season of harvest. Through the lush foliage, they could see various flowers in red, white, purple, pink, and other colors blooming on the ground.


    As the landing cabin door opened, Chen Mobai was immediately greeted by an unprecedentedly fresh breeze. The refreshing scent of the leaves, the fragrant smell of the fresh flowers, and the grace of the vegetation made him feel revigorated.


    After exiting the cabin, they saw an endless ocean of trees beyond the airport. With excellent eyesight, Chen Mobai was able to see the joyful birds singing in the forest, and even hear the faint sound of flowing water.


    If they could live in such a place all the time, it would be quite healthy.


    ¡°Are you friends from the Dance Tool Dao Academy?¡±


    At this moment, a clear voice sounded. Two teenagers dressed in Sentence Mang Fairy Green Shirt stood on the open ground, greeting them.


    ¡°I¡¯m Song Yuexin, and this is Wang Meng Yuan. We are in charge of hosting you.¡±


    The girl spoke again, Chen Mobai nodded and smiled at them, and then followed them towards the outside of the airport.


    Inside the terminal of the Lingwu Cave Sky.


    Thousands of people waiting for their flights suddenly stood still in place, staring blankly at the twelve men and women dressed in pure white and colored clouds, who majestically passed through the exit and walked over.


    ¡°That¡¯s the Repairing Heaven Cloud Robe!¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re from the Repairing Heaven Institute and have probably come to participate in the offline exchange competition to recalibrate the rankings of the Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡°Which one is Ling Dao, he reportedly mastered the ¡®Guidance Book¡¯ of the Repairing Heaven Institute. He is the only talent who has cultivated a complete Divinity Transformation technique among all the chiefs of the four major Daoist Academies.¡±


    ¡°But he can only stand in the second row, who are those two standing in front of him?¡±


    People waiting at Lingwu Cave Sky were buzzing, naturally, their discussion reached Repairing Heaven Institute¡¯s ears.


    Lou Fengcheng glanced at Ling Dao behind him and made a suggestive remark.


    ¡°The outside world has high expectations for you, you better not lose again.¡±


    ¡°Yes, senior.¡±


    Ling Dao responded expressionlessly, when Little Red Sky just started beta testing, he lost to Sima Xingyu. Even though it was comprehensible, he lost anyway, which in their institute that highly values capability, led to some criticism.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go, the vehicle of Sentence Mang Daoist Academy has arrived.¡±


    The teacher leading the Repairing Heaven Institute spoke, just as they were about to leave, the students from Sentence Mang Daoist Academy who came to receive them looked surprised.


    At the same time, the attention of thousands of people in the waiting hall turned to another exit.


    They saw ten men and women dressed in wide-sleeved red and black robes marching out in unison, led by a handsome young man with a high-bun and a long ponytail.


    With the expansion of Little Red Sky over the past two years, many people recognize this face.


    Since his debut, Chen Mobai, the chief of the Dance Instrument Daoist Academy, who has always held the first place in the Little Red Sky ranking and has never faltered.


    ¡°Why is he the first?¡±


    Lou Fengcheng furrowed his brow slightly when he saw Chen Mobai walking in front, and Sun Daoji he knew was actually in third place.


    According to the tradition of their Repairing Heaven Institute, the strong ones naturally should be in front.


    But while Chen Mobai might rampage in Little Red Sky, he is, after all, simply at the early foundation stage, what qualifies him to rank before Sun Daoji at the ninth level of foundation establishment?


    It utterly disregards the order of the hierarchy!


    Lou Fengcheng, who saw this scene, was quite dissatisfied deep down. But, the rules of the Dance Tool Dao Academy are indeed different from theirs at the Repairing Heaven Institute, so he didn¡¯t go to criticize.


    At this moment, it seems like the other side has also seen the people of the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    The leading Chen Mobai shockingly had his eyes fixated on them, then pointed at them and turned to ask the people behind him something. Sun Daoji immediately went to Chen Mobai¡¯s side and seemed to have said something.


    Just as Lou Fengcheng was puzzled, Chen Mobai surprisingly nodded, then took the initiative to walk towards their side.


    When Chen Mobai moved, the remaining nine people from the Dance Instrument Daoist Academy naturally followed.


    The ten young men and women dressed in wide-sleeved red and black robes seemed like a swath of sunset clouds moving towards the twelve people of Repairing Heaven Institute.


    In a flash, the originally noisy waiting hall fell silent.


    Everyone was looking at the handsome youth who walked in the front.


    Many people recognized this Dance Tool Daoist Academy¡¯s chief, who had gained the most reputation in recent years.


    [Could he be eager to demonstrate his power and provoke a conflict right here in the airport?]


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Many had this thought in mind, some even took out their phones and started recording, ready to capture the ¡°intense confrontation¡± that might happen next.


    In this silence, even the people from the Repairing Heaven Institute felt an invisible pressure watching the Sunset Clouds from the Dance Tool Dao Academy walking towards them.


    Lou Fengcheng knitted his brows, as the actual leader of their expedition, he couldn¡¯t show any retreat.


    As he took a step forward, ready to face the pressure from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the leading handsome young man surprisingly showed him a seemingly friendly smile.


    ¡°So you are Senior Lou, back in Red Sandstone City, you, representing the Repairing Heaven Institute, had witnessed my entrance test. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here again, it¡¯s such a coincidence.¡±

 Chapter 503 - Chapter 503: Chapter 348 Golden Boy and Jade Maiden_1

    Chapter 503: Chapter 348 Golden Boy and Jade Maiden_1


    [There¡¯s this matter?]


    Although Lou Fengcheng knew about Chen Mobai, he had no idea that he had personally witnessed this man pass the admission test in Red Sandstone City and get admitted into the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Every year there are new students, and he has overseen too many admission tests in various heavens and blessings, these unimportant memories were stored in a corner of his mind, to be recalled only when needed.


    After being reminded by Chen Mobai, Lou Fengcheng recalled that it was indeed true.


    He was representing the Repairing Heaven Institute at that time, coincidentally at Red Sandstone City with that annoying Lan Haitian.


    ¡°So it¡¯s you.¡±


    After reviewing the memory like a series of images flashing in his mind, Lou Fengcheng recalled the incident from that year, his face suffused with surprise and realization.


    It was him, no wonder he had gained such fame in seven years since joining the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Wasn¡¯t the title of ¡°Battle Law Victory¡± also given by the man in the red robe?


    It has to be said, the vision of a Golden Core Cultivator is far-reaching compared to their Foundation Establishment stage peers.


    ¡°Are we going along with the alumni from Repairing Heaven?¡±


    Chen Mobai turned his head and asked Song Yuexin and Wang Meng Yuan who came to receive him. Both of them were taken aback for a moment, then immediately shook their heads.


    ¡°Every Daoist Academy has its separate bus.¡±


    ¡°What a pity. I was hoping to communicate more with my senior.¡±


    After listening to Song Yuexin¡¯s words, Chen Mobai replied with a regretful expression. Then he prepared to leave with the people behind him.


    ¡°Oh, right, this is Senior Ling the Earth Master, right? Almost forgot to greet you, I hope we can have an exciting contest during this offline exchange.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, turned back, and reached out his right hand towards the silent Earth Master behind Lou Fengcheng.


    Upon hearing this, the four students from the Jumang Daoist Academy, including Song Yuexin, couldn¡¯t help but twitch the corners of their mouths, looking at Chen Mobai in astonishment.


    Shouldn¡¯t this sentence have been said by Earth Master Ling?


    We know you wreaked havoc in the Little Red Sky, but this is an offline exchange. You are in the early stage of foundation establishment, and the person in front of you is the principal of Repairing Heaven Institute and amongst the four largest breakthroughs, he has advanced to the seventh layer of foundation establishment!


    ¡°Interesting!¡±


    Earth Master Ling seemed stunned for a moment, but then he quickly responded with a peculiar smile, extended his right hand, and shook Chen Mobai¡¯s hand.


    In an instant, several hundred mobile phone cameras in the waiting area were pointed at the handshake between the two.


    But contrary to everyone¡¯s expectations, Earth Master Ling did not seem to have the intention to embarrass Chen Mobai. After their palms touched, they gently let go.


    ¡°Before I challenge you, don¡¯t lose to those people from Pure Yang Academy.¡±


    Just as he let go, Earth Master Ling whispered. Everyone in the immortal world knew that after the incident in Little Red Sky, the Pure Yang Academy and Dance Tool Dao Academy, both located in the Crimson City, regarded each other as enemies.


    ¡°I understand what you¡¯re saying, Senior Ling. Rest assured, since you¡¯ve said that, I¡¯ll leave the Sima Xingyu who once defeated you to you. I¡¯ll only cause trouble for Xiahou Weihuan.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words left everyone present wide-eyed and disbelieving.


    Does he have a more audacious attitude than the sky itself?


    Does he think it¡¯s the same as in the Little Red Sky where he could wield his sword recklessly?


    ¡°I¡¯ve never seen such an arrogant man in my life.¡±


    Watching Chen Mobai leave with the people from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Earth Master Ling murmured to himself.


    ¡°Even Lan Haitian wasn¡¯t this arrogant!¡±


    These words were uttered by Lou Fengcheng. He himself, a cultivator at the perfection stage of the foundational establishment, felt oppressed by Chen Mobai.


    He couldn¡¯t understand how this mere cultivator in the early foundation stage, who only mastered the Sword Light, dared to make such audacious claims in public, practically disregarding the Pure Yang Academy and their Repairing Heaven Institute.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. The bus is at exit C.¡±


    At this moment, the two Jumang students who came to receive the Repairing Heaven Institute members called Lou Fengcheng and the others to leave the waiting area.


    After both the Dance Tool and Repairing Heaven groups vanished, the previously silent hall suddenly became noisy.


    ¡°I would call him the greatest lunatic in the immortal world!¡±


    ¡°I feel he is the most insane person in history.¡±


    ¡°Even Divinity Transformation Elder Ancestors weren¡¯t as mad as him.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were not at all concealed and were easily heard by all the cultivators in the hall, many also recorded the ¡°exchange¡± between the two institutes.


    In just a short span of ten minutes, numerous videos from various angles had circulated on the internet.


    The representatives of the other Daoist Academy merely frowned after watching it.


    But the people from Pure Yang Academy had dark expressions after watching it. Those of a more volatile temperament were even prepared to draw their swords to challenge Chen Mobai.

    ¡°Let him bark like a dog. When the contest takes place, I¡¯ll let him know what pain and despair are.¡±


    With an icy tone, Xiahou Weihuan stopped the others. With the help of Earth Master Min Fangheng, he finally synthesized Fire Yang Evil half a month ago.


    Due to the time being too short, his Primordial Yang Sword Evil hadn¡¯t reached its full potential.


    He would need a few more days to fully complete the ¡°Sword Light Solidifying Demons¡±. After his bitter defeat in Little Red Sky, Xiahou Weihuan had learned a virtue known as tolerance.


    Just a few more days, once he masters the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, no one in the Daoist Academy would be his match.

 Chapter 504 - Chapter 504: Chapter 348 Golden Boy and Jade Maiden _2

    Chapter 504: Chapter 348 Golden Boy and Jade Maiden _2


    Bear with it a bit longer!


    Although the others from Pure Yang Academy were annoyed deep down, Xiahou Weihuan held a superior standing in their hearts. Since he had spoken, they had no choice but to endure.


    ¡­


    ¡°We have arrived. This here is our Jumang Daoist Academy.¡±


    Chen Mobai and the rest followed Song Yuexin to a gigantic lake. Right in the center was a vast Big Tree, so wide it would take ten people to encircle it. With the rustle of fresh winds, the tree¡¯s lush leaves swayed, exuding a refreshing fragrance.


    Everyone felt a purifying feeling wash over them as they caught the scent, cleansing them inside out.


    ¡°This is the number one Spirit Plant of the immortal world, the Big Tree!¡±


    Many people were witnessing this rank-6 Spirit Plant for the first time. According to rumors, it was brought and planted here by the founder of hermit Jumang from outside the corelands, where, over thousands of years, it had put down roots in the entirety of Land Elemental planet.


    This Big Tree bore fruit every eight hundred years.


    The Immortal Tree Fruit could extend anyone¡¯s lifespan by four hundred and eighty years upon consumption.


    In addition to the fruits, the Big Tree¡¯s leaves, roots, bark, and sap were among the most treasured Alchemy ingredients in the immortal world.


    Chen Mobai remembered something Yu Rulin had shared ¨C one of the primary ingredients of the Turtle Longevity Pill, the most refined work from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute, was the bark of the Big Tree.


    The Soul Awakening Dao Pill that the Qing Ladies had administered to him also used the Big Tree¡¯s flower as its primary ingredient, thereby contributing to its extraordinary spiritual potency.


    Pill production of the Jade marrow pill, the Foundation Establishment spiritual medicine of Jumang Daoist Academy, had to be reduced in recent years due to the scarcity of Big Tree sap.


    ¡°Everyone, you will be staying on Small Leaf Island.¡±


    Song Yuexin signalled to them from the lakeside. With a wave of her hand, water waves transformed into an invisible bridge under her feet. She led in the front while Wang Meng Yuan brought up the rear, with Chen Mobai¡¯s group in between, as if an invisible water bridge was paving the way for them towards an island to the right of the Big Tree.


    The Jumang Daoist Academy was located over the largest wetlands lake in the immortal world, and only the rank-5 Water Vein present here could support the flourishing growth of the Big Tree.


    The lake, reportedly spanning thirty thousand acres, was dotted with one thousand nine hundred and sixty-eight islands, extolled as ¡°a tree, a water body, thousands of peaks casting shadows¡±.


    Each island appeared like a star scattered across the beautiful lake.


    This lake was named ¡°Wan Shui Lake¡±.


    And thus, the Jumang Daoist Academy held the elegant title of ¡°A Thousand Hills and Wan Shui¡±.


    Chen Mobai and his entourage soon arrived on a picturesque island. Wooden houses studded the cliffs, overlooking the rippling turquoise Wan Shui Lake. The island was flushed with green trees and fresh flowers ¨C the view alone was enough to match any location on Crimson Mountain.


    ¡°Thank you, but Mei Shuan and I had planned to meet today. Could you kindly arrange a ride to Wood God Island?¡±


    After everyone chose a wooden house to stay in, Luo Hezheng, who was a teacher, sought out Song Yuexin. He had acquaintances in hermit Jumang, including the instructor of Sky Blue, one of the six major medicine factories.


    Primarily, Luo Hezheng was here because the medicine factories from each of the four Daoist Academies had a batch of mature spiritual medicines ready, and he wanted to see if they could be combined to concoct a batch of Five Elements Gold Core Pills.


    ¡°I will take you there immediately.¡±


    Song Yuexin nodded. Wang Meng Yuan stayed back on Small Leaf Island to take care of and welcome the group from Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°I happen to have a friend to see too. Let¡¯s head to Wood God Island together.¡±


    After Chen Mobai chose a wooden house, he overheard Luo Hezheng¡¯s conversation with Song Yuexin and decided to join them.


    Wood God Island was the largest among all, hosting the Big Tree and forming the core of the Jumang Daoist Academy campus.


    Not knowing where he would be located, Chen Mobai had scheduled his meeting with the Qing Ladies over there.


    ¡°Please follow me.¡±


    Song Yuexin again demonstrated her water bridge technique and ushered both of them towards the Big Tree.


    ¡°Chen Elder Student, you have an incredibly distinguished reputation. However, it might be best for you to lay low when you¡¯re on your own.¡±


    On their way, Song Yuexin suddenly said.


    ¡°Oh, why is that?¡±


    ¡°Many of our seniors from Jumang Daoist Academy have suffered defeat at your hands in Little Red Sky. They couldn¡¯t wait to challenge you in this offline meet. If you have the Dance Tool Dao Academy graduates by your side, I¡¯m afraid some might not hold back,¡±


    Upon hearing Song Yue Xin¡¯s words, Chen Mobai chuckled. He remembered when he and Hua Zijing went to the cave in Crimson City, disguising themselves using a mask formed by the Green Scale Arm Guard. It was indeed a unique experience.


    It was then that he met a mysterious girl with sunglasses who told fortunes at the Divine Machine Mansion, and a former schoolmate from Starlight Institute named Shi Wanyu with whom he had not been in contact for a long time.


    His mood that day seemed extraordinarily pleasant.


    Perhaps it was because the girl with sunglasses had resolved a dilemma for him. Or it could have been the youthful and beautiful girl by his side, radiating vigor.


    Reflecting on this, Chen Mobai felt an increased sense of anticipation for today.


    After all, the Qing woman he was about to meet today was also a beautiful girl and could be considered his best friend.


    ¡°Which friend is Brother Chen going to meet?¡±


    Song Yue Xin, seeing Chen Mo Bai¡¯s smiling face, couldn¡¯t help but feel curious. In her mind, he was a man of pride. Seeing his cheerful disposition probably meant he was meeting a friend he was anticipating.


    ¡°We graduated high school in the same year from Red Sandstone City. Unfortunately, each Daoist Academy only admits one new student. We had to part ways. She had to cross a thousand mountains and rivers to come here, while I was assigned to Crimson Mountain.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Song Yue Xin, who was used to watching TV dramas, couldn¡¯t help but imagine a complicated romance between a boy and a girl.


    ¡°How nice it is. Both of you were admitted to the four major Daoist Academies, which is a perfect match. If you happen to be together in the future, you can help each other on the path of cultivation without holding each other back.¡±


    Song Yue Xin had also experienced a relationship during high school. Unfortunately, after the entrance exam, she enrolled in Jumang Daoist Academy, and her boyfriend could only go to Bai Er Shi Mansion. For the first two years, they would go back to their hometown every year and share their love for each other.


    But after that, Song Yue Xin comprehended the brink law and found that he couldn¡¯t walk with her to the end.


    After reaching the Foundation Establishment, the naive and sweet love had ended.


    She had been savoring this experience in her heart, but if she could start over, she would still choose to break up.


    Because she didn¡¯t want to see her lover growing old.


    ¡°Admitted? No, she did not get admitted to Jumang Daoist Academy. Qing woman was invited.¡±


    After listening to Song Yuexin¡¯s words, Chen Mobai shook his head and said something that surprised her.


    Invitation?


    Could it be the intervention of a Golden Core Cultivator, which might lead to a breakup in the future?


    Wait, what did he just call her?


    Qing Woman!!


    Muttering that familiar name, Song Yue Xin suddenly realized that this invitation was not a backdoor entry. Instead, it was an invited admission by Jumang Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you reach the airport early? Why are you arriving now?¡±


    By this time, they had reached Wood God Island. A clear voice was heard from the shore. Looking up,


    They saw a girl in a white shirt and black shoes leaning against a tree on the shore, waving at them. She had a beautiful smile on her face and her clear eyes sparkled with happiness. Her tight jeans outlined her perfect waist and hip curve, revealing her slender long legs. With her slightly curly hair reaching her waist, the entire scene was a beautiful landscape painting in harmony with the lake and trees.


    ¡°I brought the people from the Academy to Small Leaf Island first before coming to find you.¡±


    Chen Mobai waved to the Qing Woman who he had not seen for a long time. He then bid farewell to Luo Hezheng and Song Yue Xin on the bridge.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go ahead then, I also know the direction to Small Leaf Island, and I will go back on my own later.¡±


    Luo Hezheng nodded in agreement. Song Yue Xin still had her mouth open, not responding.

    She did not expect Chen Mobai¡¯s friend to be Qing Woman, and it looked like they had a closer relationship than she had imagined.


    ¡°Thank you for guiding me, Miss Song. See you.¡±


    Seeing her still not responding, Chen Mobai called out again.


    ¡°Uh¡­okay, take care, brother Chen.¡±


    Is this what they call a match made in heaven?

 Chapter 505 - Chapter 505: Chapter 349: Observing Stars Technique_1

    Chapter 505: Chapter 349: Observing Stars Technique_1


    Watching Chen Mobai and Qing Nu leave the shore, Luo Hezheng felt nostalgic for the vigor of youth.


    ¡°The Kong Qingge should be this way, right?¡±


    Luo Hezheng wasn¡¯t a first-time visitor to the Jumang Daoist Academy, yet he asked Song Yuexin symbolically, and she nodded in response.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take you there.¡±


    Just as the two were about to step in another direction, Luo Hezheng suddenly let out a yelp and looked in a certain direction.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Teacher Luo?¡±


    ¡°Nothing.¡±


    Luo Hezheng shook his head, not mentioning the unusual feeling of being watched.


    This was a port, and once onshore, one could see several two or three-story houses scattered along the road ascending in steps. The arrangement seemed to follow a particular formation, exuding a harmonious beauty of man and nature.


    In one such modest building, a girl in sunglasses sat on a window ledge, her feet swinging in the air, looking in the direction of the port.


    On the wall behind her, a large screen was displaying the scene at the port.


    ¡°It seems we¡¯ve been spotted.¡±


    The girl with sunglasses turned her head and said a sentence, then heard slight coughing from behind her.


    ¡°This is Jumang Academy¡¯s surveillance. We¡¯re just borrowing the feed. Even if caught, other martial arts academies won¡¯t care. They¡¯ll assume it¡¯s necessary vigilance for the upcoming offline exchanges.¡±


    In the room¡¯s farthest corner away from sunlight, a man with gray hair sat in a wooden chair, watching the screen and lightly pressing buttons on a remote control in his hand.


    Soon, the screen divided into nine small parts.


    One of them flashed the images of Chen Mobai and Qing Nu passing by.


    ¡°I heard you did a divination for him?¡±


    The gray-haired man pointed at Chen Mobai and began using various surveillance feeds from around Wood God Island to continuously track this chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Yes, it was coincidental, I wasn¡¯t waiting for him.¡±


    The girl with sunglasses turned her head and, upon seeing the screen, spoke in a calm tone.


    ¡°Oh, so even the Karmic Doctrine of The Divine Machine Mansion can get it wrong?¡±


    Upon hearing her words, the gray-haired man looked surprised. Speaking too hastily, he coughed a couple of times as if in poor health.


    ¡°My cultivation still needs work, but it¡¯s also likely that crossing paths with him is better than meeting the person I was waiting for.¡±


    ¡°So you¡¯re saying, the bond between you and him is stronger.¡±


    The gray-haired man was Ding Chundzhi, the previous chief of the Astral Observation Academy. He was a Foundation Establishment perfectionist, albeit average in magic duel ability. However, his Observing Stars Technique was advanced to a high level. It¡¯s said he saw through everyone he observed.


    ¡°Probably.¡±


    The girl with sunglasses responded calmly, not revealing the truth from the day she read Chen Mobai¡¯s fortune.


    ¡°Interesting. With you saying this, I suddenly want to inspect his fortune.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ding Chundzhi¡¯s intrigue piqued. He closed his left eye, and a silver starlight shimmered in his right eye. Simultaneously, he pressed incessantly on his remote control to capture the screen image of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°The people from Kunpeng Daoist Institute have arrived.¡±


    Just as Ding Chundzhi was about to read Chen Mobai¡¯s fate, the girl in sunglasses suddenly spoke.


    ¡°What a coincidence.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ding Chundzhi paused, sighing. He had to switch the screen view back to the port with his remote control.


    A youth with golden curls and a cold face arrived on Wood God Island, closely followed by a handsome youth with melancholy eyes: Taishi Shu, the current chief of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute.


    ¡°Qi Huanzhi, Nangong Xiu, Taishi Shu, any one of these chaps has the potential of Gold Core, yet all belong to Kunpeng Daoist Institute. It truly deserves to be the number one institution amongst the celestial academies.¡±


    Seeing the trio disembark, Ding Chundzhi couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Despite being the most talented student of the Astral Observation Academy in the last hundred years, he could only rival these three at best.


    Thankfully, he had mastered the Observing Stars Technique!


    Within the twinkling starlight of his right eye, Ding Chundzhi watched the trio on the screen. He seemed to already see their fates and the ranks they might attain during this offline exchange.


    ¡°Nangong Xiu is currently third, Taishi Shu second and Qiu Huanzhi first.¡±


    After reading the trio¡¯s fortunes, Chundzhi took up a brush and wrote down their names on a large piece of paper.


    ¡°The people from The Divine Machine Mansion have arrived.¡±


    Sitting on the window ledge, the girl with sunglasses reminded again.


    Following the trio from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, Lou Fengcheng and Ling Daoshi arrived on Wood God Island.


    Ding Chundzhi didn¡¯t dare to rest and once again performed the Observing Stars Technique. After glancing at the duo on the screen, he wrote their names between Qi Huanzhi and Taishi Shu.


    This changed the rankings to Lou Fengcheng second and Ling Daoshi third.

    Taishi Shu dropped to fourth and Nangong Xiu to fifth.


    After consecutively reading the fortune of top professionals from two Daoist Academies, Ding Chundzhi drew a handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then, he opened a bottle of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew kept on the table and dropped two drops into his right eye.


    A refreshing sensation, he felt relieved.


    The Observing Stars Technique was powerful, but it consumed much of his Spiritual Power and Divine Sense. The better the person he was watching, the more violently he experienced backlash.


    Thankfully, the members of the ¡®Four Great Daoist Academies¡¯ and the ¡®Top Ten Learning Palaces¡¯ had not all arrived at once. Otherwise, he definitely could not stand it.

 Chapter 506 - Chapter 506: Chapter 349: Observing Stars Technique_2

    Chapter 506: Chapter 349: Observing Stars Technique_2


    Moreover, among the top ten academies, there aren¡¯t many formidable individuals ¨C only two or three whom he could count, could make him feel pressured.


    In the mid-afternoon, Xiahou Weihuan and Sima Xingyu also came ashore.


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    After using the Observing Stars Technique, Ding Chundzhi couldn¡¯t help but utter a sound of surprise.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t see through Xiahou Weihuan.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi slightly furrowed his brows, then subsequently opened the left eye he kept shut. Both eyes sparkled with starlight as he observed the two individuals on the observation screen.


    After fully employing the Observing Stars Technique, he finally pierced through the hazy red mist surrounding Xiahou Weihuan and was able to see his destiny.


    ¡°The guy truly lives up to his reputation. His rank is surprisingly above Qi Huanzhi.¡±


    After previously witnessing Lan Haitian¡¯s crushing victory over Xiahou Weihuan in the Little Red Sky, Ding Chundzhi assumed that the latter was all bark and no bite. However, after observing him closely today using the Observing Stars Technique, he discovered that it wasn¡¯t that Xiahou Weihuan was weak; it was just that Lan Haitian was simply too strong.


    Instantly, Xiahou Weihuan made it to the number one spot on his list.


    As for Sima Xingyu, he ranked tenth.


    ¡°No wonder the Pure Yang Academy dared to challenge the Dance Tool Dao Academy. These two also have a high chance of achieving Core Formation. If Nangong Xuanyu can reach the Nascent Soul Formation, they could indeed compete with the weakened Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    After observing Xiahou Weihuan, Ding Chundzhi once again used two drops of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew.


    ¡°Why has she come?¡±


    Suddenly, the girl in sunglasses seemed surprised.


    Ding Chundzhi could only open his eyes again. Looking at the beautiful woman in the blue dress on the big screen, he frowned. After contemplating for a moment, he sighed, and didn¡¯t use the Observing Star Technique to see her destiny.


    Aside from the two from the Pure Yang Academy he just predicted, due to the heavy consumption, it was also because this person was too formidable to be predicted.


    Thankfully, an unexpected situation like hers was an exception.


    Although the following were all chiefs and graduates from the top ten academies, none of them gave Ding Chundzhi any pressure; they were all seen through by him.


    By evening, the white paper was nearly filled with names from top to bottom.


    ¡°Lu Qiulong is here.¡±


    Hearing the reminder, Ding Chundzhi braced himself for it. Although Lu Qiulong¡¯s cultivation level was inferior to his own, due to his long-term fusion with his partner beast, his Essence and Blood Energy were tainted with the beast¡¯s dominance, so he had to be extremely cautious to avoid backlash.


    ¡°Phew, alright, he can be ranked tenth.¡±


    After predicting Lu Qiulong, Ding Chundzhi breathed a sigh of relief and wrote his name above Sima Xingyu, causing the latter to drop to the eleventh place.


    ¡°That¡¯s about it for the day, it¡¯s also nearly the closing time for the school. We¡¯ll check out the remaining people tomorrow. Only the Daoist Academy¡¯s three and Primordial Elemental Academy¡¯s Tao Mingqing are left, as well as¡­ Pei Qingshuang.¡±


    As he mentioned the last name, Ding Chundzhi¡¯s expression became unprecedentedly grave.


    Despite being a graduate of the Shanhai Academy, Pei Qingshuang, as the top-ranking sword cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, is someone Lan Haitian is unwilling to face. It is unclear why she became interested in participating in this offline friendly competition.


    Just when the girl in sunglasses pushed off her swing with both hands and prepared to retrieve her feet she had been dangling all day, she saw a robust woman clad in a tight dark green suit and a white cloak approaching the shore.


    ¡°Pei Qingshuang is here too.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi, who was about to pack up his things, could only sigh and once again opened his eyes to look at the big screen.


    Hisss!


    A cry of pain rang out from Ding Chundzhi. The girl in sunglasses¡¯ face changed slightly as she noticed Pei Qingshuang suddenly raising her brows and glancing over here.


    She disappeared from the window sill and hurriedly retreated into the room.


    She then went to Ding Chundzhi¡¯s side, took the remote control, and turned off the big screen.


    ¡°This woman, it seems like she noticed us.¡±


    While the girl in sunglasses was speaking, a hint of interest appeared in her usually calm voice.


    After observing the whole day, a truly interesting person had finally arrived.


    ¡°This woman, I will definitely never look at her again.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi released the grip on his right eye. As he did, a red mark appeared on his eyelids that looked just like a sword cut.


    ¡°Xiahou Weihuan is also a sword cultivator, but he¡¯s not this terrifying.¡±


    The girl in sunglasses looked at the sword mark on Ding Chundzhi¡¯s right eye and spoke quizzically.


    ¡°Among sword cultivators, there are also high and low levels.¡±


    After saying this, Ding Chundzhi again used two drops of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew and then began packing up his things, ready to leave.


    ¡°Eh, the school is on lockdown, how come that guy from the Dance Tools Dao Academy hasn¡¯t left the island yet?¡±


    While helping with the clean-up, the young lady with the sunglasses suddenly felt that something was off.


    Most of the people from other Daoist academies, after strolling around Wood God Island once more, basically all left before dark, returning to the island where the Jumang Daoist Academy had arranged accommodations. However, they haven¡¯t seen Chen Mobai, who was the first to arrive, at all.


    Could he have stayed overnight on Wood God Island?


    ¡°He probably has relatives living here like Pei Qingshuang.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi voiced his thoughts. Pei Qingshuang¡¯s original name was Pei Cui, her mother was an influential figure in the Jumang Daoist Academy, so it¡¯s understandable for her to have come before dark.


    But Chen Mobai, a student from another academy, despite receiving a well-arranged island villa, why would he want to stay at a small guesthouse on the island?


    ¡°Could he actually be in a romantic relationship with the Heavenly Spiritual Root?¡±


    As a male, Ding Chunzhi came up with a thought and blurted it out involuntarily.


    ¡°Impossible. I have already seen his fortune when I read his palm last time. Although he has good luck with romance, he¡¯s determined in his cultivation. All of the beauty combined in the world wouldn¡¯t compare to a small advancement in his cultivation path. He wouldn¡¯t indulge in the color of women at such a young age.¡±


    The young lady with sunglasses, having full confidence in her palm-reading skills, was sure Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t that kind of person.


    ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll observe him tomorrow.¡±


    Ding Chunzhi didn¡¯t dispute the words of the heir of the Divine Machine Mansion in front of him, but Chen Mobai was becoming increasingly intriguing to him.


    The next day.


    Both of them waited at the old place, but Chen Mobai¡¯s figure was still nowhere to be seen leaving the island.


    On the third day, Ding Chunzhi finally couldn¡¯t hold back anymore, and scrolled back on Wood God Island¡¯s surveillance, finally locating traces of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°They stayed in the Elixir Refining Room for three days?!¡±


    After watching the scene from three days ago when Chen Mobai and Qing Nu went in and have yet to come out, Ding Chunzhi and the young lady with sunglasses exchanged looks in disbelief.


    ¡­


    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s ready.¡±


    The Elixir Refining Room of Jumang Daoist Academy was of top-notch standards.


    Wiping sweat off her smooth forehead, Qing Nu handed the three portions of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew that had been extracted from the medicinal pool to Chen Mobai. Then, she hurried to a sand furnace, taking over Chen Mobai who had been burning his Pure Yang Spiritual Power for three days, and started to condense medical properties.


    It goes without saying that Chen Mobai sought Qing Nu¡¯s assistance in alchemy.


    Wang Xingyu was going into seclusion for Foundation Establishment. As he was meant to come to Jumang Daoist Academy, he had already requested Luo Yixuan to gather the main and auxiliary medicine for Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew and Camelweed Ointment in advance.


    Among these, Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew is easy to refine, given that Qing Nu has experience.


    Yet, as a Rank-3 medicinal herb, most Camelweed in the Eastern Wilderness can only be refined into Rank-2 ointment. However, on the immortal sect¡¯s side, as long as the Alchemist¡¯s skills are high enough, it can be refined into Rank-3 ointment.


    Luckily, this year Qing Nu had passed her exams and received the certificate of a Rank-3 Alchemist.


    Thus, she was more than qualified.


    Chen Mobai had already discussed with Qing Nu about the prescription for enhancing blood energy in the meridians before coming to the Jumang Daoist Academy, and had purchased another Rank-3 medicinal herb¡ªWater Heart Lotus Seed, along with eighteen types of Rank-2 auxiliary medicine¡ªin the Eastern Wilderness as per her requirements.


    Thanks to the abundance of medicinal resources at Giant Tree Ridge, most of them were available.


    Additionally, Luo Yixuan, who is diligent at work, had specifically gone to the markets outside of the sect to buy two other types of Rank-2 auxiliary medicine that were not available at the Spirit Plant Department.


    For this batch of ointment, Chen Mobai had contributed five thousand sect contribution points and two hundred Spirit Stones.


    Apart from these, he had also spent about thirty thousand Good Deed Points on some of the industrial auxiliary medicine from the immortal sect, but compared to the major investments, these could be neglected.


    ¡°It¡¯s my turn now. It will take me about half a month to finish refining this batch of ointment, which should be when your offline exchange meeting ends.¡±


    Qing Nu sat in front of the sand furnace with a smile, carefully adjusting the prime minister and ministers among the various medicinal materials in the furnace with her Spiritual Power. From time to time, she would take a piece of the Spiritual Extract Chen Mobai had brought, crush a corner into powder, and scatter it to extract the dan poison.


    ¡°Then, I¡¯m leaving it in your hands.¡±


    Feeling that he was interfering with Qing Nu¡¯s alchemy, Chen Mobai nodded and left the Elixir Refining Room as he did in Red Sandstone City.


    ¡­

    ¡°He finally came out.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi, who was leaning on a surveillance system aimed at the Elixir Refining Room, saw Chen Mobai, who had just walked out stretching in a leisurely manner, closed his left eye, and began to use the Observing Stars Technique.


    Cutting through the air with a hiss!


    Like Sword Qi cutting through the air!


    Soon after, the sound of agonized restraint echoed throughout.

 Chapter 507 - Chapter 507: Chapter 350: Number One on the Foundation List_1

    Chapter 507: Chapter 350: Number One on the Foundation List_1


    Ding Chundzhi originally thought that no matter how powerful Chen Mobai was, he was merely at the early foundation stage and he only needed to observe him with his right eye.


    Little did he know, upon observing with his right eye, he encountered the same situation as when he looked at Xiahou Weihuan. He merely thought that Chen Mobai had an artifact that could block his spying attempts.


    Having no choice, he opened both eyes to observe life.


    However, after seeing through a layer of hazy green fog, he discovered there was yet another layer.


    Ding Chundzhi initially thought that due to the heavy usage of the Observing Stars Technique in the previous days, his energy was insufficient. Thus, he forcibly roused his divine sense and spiritual power, pushing the power of Observing Stars Technique to its limits.


    The number one life-observing technique of the Immortals is naturally not empty talk.


    He finally saw through the second layer of green fog covering Chen Mobai¡¯s body.


    Then came the third layer!


    Ding Chundzhi slightly furrowed his brows, thinking that this artifact was quite formidable.


    If it were any other time, he reckoned he wouldn¡¯t continue looking.


    However, entrusted by others and in front of the sunglass-wearing young lady, as a person who has communicated with The Divine Machine Mansion for years, he felt he could not lose face.


    Believing that a mere early foundation stage had no retaliatory power, Ding Chundzhi decided to withdraw half of the divine sense and spiritual power used to resist the backlash from the Observing Stars Technique and focus it on observing life.


    Now, the green fog from the four Sword Sha could no longer obstruct him, all were completely seen through by him, and an ancient bronze mirror appeared in his field of vision.


    A rank-3 artifact!


    After a moment of hesitation, Ding Chundzhi dared not continue looking at the Six Yangs Divine Fire Mirror fearing retaliation. He shifted his gaze to Chen Mobai¡¯s sea of knowledge at the Purple Mansion and saw a flourishing jade-green phoenix tree phantom.


    ¡°His divine sense cultivation is not bad. Even though he is merely at the third level of the foundation, his divine consciousness intensity is even higher than his spiritual power realm¡­ Eh¡­ That¡¯s odd¡­¡±


    Just when Ding Chundzhi thought he understood Chen Mobai¡¯s abilities inside out, he noticed a patch of grey shadow entwined around the jade-green phoenix tree. When he looked closer at the grey patch, he could not discern its implied meaning.


    Interest arose in Ding Chundzhi, as an observer of life who had just mastered his skill, he wouldn¡¯t allow any fog that he couldn¡¯t see through.


    He focused his eyes, narrowing his field of vision to the grey mark. He powered up his Observing Stars Technique and started to minutely observe.


    Gradually, he noticed the origin of the grey mark.


    Next, his gaze met a pair of blood-red pupils.


    At that very moment, an invisible shapeless thought knife had already followed the unseen connection, slashing into his gaze.


    Ding Chundzhi felt his Observing Stars Technique being severed by the Divine Slash. It had even invaded his sea of knowledge.


    He immediately destroyed the big screen displaying Chen Mobai, severing their visual connection. He then crushed a talisman in his cuff, transferring the retaliatory power from his sea of knowledge to his physical body.


    With a ¡®shh¡¯ sound!


    Unexpectedly, an oblique wound appeared on his right eye, which he used previously to observe Pei Qingshuang¡¯s Sword Sha. Drops of bright red blood slowly seeped out.


    The two scars on the eyelid crossed to form an X, but the unbearable pain for Ding Chundzhi was the feeling as if his right eye was slashed.


    But given that someone was observing him, he could only grit his teeth and suppress the pain.


    After a long while, Ding Chundzhi finally suppressed all the backlash and sighed a breath of relief.


    ¡°What did you see?¡±


    The sunglass-wearing young lady sat by the window as before, only this time she turned her back to the port, looking straight at Ding Chundzhi. As she spoke, she released the five fingers of her right hand that were forming a seal behind her back.


    ¡°Spiritual power realm at the third level of the foundation, divine consciousness intensity at the fifth level of the foundation, possesses a rank-3 artifact which seems to harbour hidden powers. However, I focused all my power on his sea of knowledge in order to observe his divine consciousness forming in the Purple Mansion¡­¡±


    After selectively bragging about what he had seen, Ding Chundzhi removed his hand from his right eye. The sight of his blood-soaked half-eye socket made the sunglass-wearing girl fall silent.


    ¡°I was careless this time, but I won¡¯t be observing this fellow the next time.¡±


    What Ding Chundzhi thought was that with Chen Mobai¡¯s talent, the next time they met, his divine consciousness intensity would definitely be stronger. Having been wounded by his sword intent just this once, if his cultivation improves even further, his eye would probably be blinded.


    ¡°Do you need to treat the wound first?¡±


    The sunglass-wearing girl pointed at the cross-shaped sword scar on Ding Chundzhi¡¯s right eye. Although it had stopped bleeding, the sight of it was still rather alarming.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make a call, after all, I¡¯m doing this for Jumang Daoist Academy, they should help out.¡±


    Not long after, a nondescript yellow-faced student in a blue clothes came here with a medical kit.


    ¡°It¡¯s surprising that the top student like you came here personally, I¡¯m quite flattered.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Seeing Zong Zi, Ding Chundzhi couldn¡¯t help express his astonishment. The latter merely gave a small smile, after treating his wound, he even placed a verdant Tree of Heaven leaf on his right eye. It seemed like a peculiar eyepatch.


    ¡°It was hard on senior Ding, the promised Tree of Heaven flower has been picked.¡±


    Feeling the cool sensation coming from the Tree of Heaven leaf and hearing Zong Zi¡¯s words, Ding Chundzhi felt that his hard work these past few days was not in vain.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you surprised that my right eye got injured?¡±


    ¡°The Immortal realm is vast, concealing countless uncommon individuals. Perhaps among the participants this time, there are some master-level figures that surpass our imagination.¡±

 Chapter 508 - Chapter 508: Chapter 350: Number One on the Foundation List_2

    Chapter 508: Chapter 350: Number One on the Foundation List_2


    Zong Zi nodded slightly, having accurately guessed the truth.


    ¡°Guess who is the cause of these two injuries of mine?¡±


    Sitting on a wooden chair, Ding Chundzhi twirled a pen in his hand and posed a question to Zong Zi.


    ¡°I saw that both were sword wounds when I treated them earlier. One should be from Senior Sister Pei Cui of the Mountain Sea Academy, but I cannot guess who gave the other wound.¡±


    Zong Zi, as the chief disciple of the Sentence Mang Dao Academy this year, was clear about the capabilities of the genius from Astral Observation Academy in front of him. He knew that only a few other individuals could injure Ding Chundzhi with the backlash power.


    Lan Haitian didn¡¯t come, so the only ones left were Pei Qingshuang and Yan Qiongzhi. But Yan Qiongzhi was not skilled in the Sword Dao.


    ¡°It¡¯s this year¡¯s Chief disciple from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi named a person that shocked Zong Zi.


    Of course, he knew about Chen Mobai, but it was precisely because he knew about him that he was more surprised.


    ¡°Has he already reached the perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage!?¡±


    ¡°No, but a mysterious power capable of severing the Observing Stars Technique is hidden within his Divine Sense. I was careless and was injured by him.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi, while speaking, raised his pen, pondered for a moment, and then slowly wrote Chen Mobai¡¯s name down after a long time.


    ¡°Take it, this is what I promised you.¡±


    He handed the white piece of paper full of rankings to Zong Zi. The latter showed a surprised look, shook his head, and did not take it.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t there still some people who haven¡¯t come ashore? Shouldn¡¯t Senior Brother Ding wait until he sees them before confirming the rankings?¡±


    ¡°Only Tao Mingqing and the three people from the Dance Tool Dao Academy are left. Even though they are at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, their combat strength won¡¯t exceed my expectations. I can determine their ranks even without watching them. Moreover, the most important thing is that I can¡¯t use the Observing Stars Technique anymore.¡±


    As Ding Chundzhi spoke, he pointed to his well-bandaged right eye.


    If he observes someone¡¯s fate under such an injury, he might lose his life¡¯s Elemental Energy. As precious as the Dalit Flower is, it¡¯s not worth him going to those lengths.


    ¡°In that case, Senior Brother Ding, please rest well.¡±


    Zong Zi, upon hearing this, no longer hesitated and took the paper filled with names from Ding Chundzhi.


    After getting his hands on it and taking a glance, he immediately froze on the spot.


    ¡°Senior Brother Ding, do you think this list of rankings needs to be reconsidered?¡±


    Setting down the piece of paper in his hand, Zong Zi frowned and spoke.


    ¡°I understand what you mean, but I choose to trust the rules that have been passed down in our profession since ancient times.¡±


    ¡°Using the Observing Stars Technique, I¡¯ve looked at everyone who made it ashore, and only the backlash power from Pei Qingshuang and Chen Mobai cannot be resolved.¡±


    ¡°Pei Qingshuang gave me pain, Chen Mobai made me bleed.¡±


    ¡°So, putting them both at the top seems only fair.¡±


    After expressing his reasons, Ding Chundzhi sat back down in his wooden chair, a smile on his face as he gently placed his pen on the table.


    ¡°I see. Thank you for your hard work.¡±


    Zong Zi met Ding Chundzhi¡¯s remaining eye, pondered for a moment, and then nodded gently. After another polite salute, he rolled up the piece of paper, tucked it into his sleeve, picked up his medicine box, and left.


    ¡°We should also go.¡±


    After watching Zong Zi leave, Ding Chundzhi crumbled the remote control in his hand and rose to his feet, addressing the girl in sunglasses.


    After taking a moment to watch his retreating figure, the girl in the sunglasses also hopped off the window sill and followed him out of the wooden house.


    ¡­


    ¡°Strange.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who had just left the Elixir Refining Room, was puzzled and massaged his temples.


    Just now, his Divine Sense had suddenly formed a Divine Slash on its own, aiming at a certain spot in the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    However, it lasted only an instant. He regained control over all his Divine Sense quickly, so quickly that it felt like an illusion.


    Unfortunately, it wasn¡¯t convenient to meditate here, so Chen Mobai suppressed his doubts and made plans to inspect his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion more carefully when he returned to his own home on Small Leaf Island.


    Chirp Chirp!


    Just as Chen Mobai was leaving, loud bird chirping suddenly rang in his ears. He looked up to see a grey-green bird perched lazily on the branch of a tree nearby, languidly spreading its wings.


    What a lovely day!


    As the sun just rose above the Azure Waves Lake in the distance, Chen Mobai stretched lazily in the intoxicated morning light and headed towards the port.


    However, he missed the black snake coiled in the shadow under the green tree.


    After Chen Mobai left, the bright-eyed gray bird chirped at the small black snake hiding in the shadows.


    The initially restless black snake reluctantly quieted down.


    Chen Mobai, returning to his Small Leaf Island, ran into Bian Jingchun and the others who were planning to go to Wood God Island.


    ¡°President, is Wood God Island fun?¡±


    Everyone thought that Chen Mobai must have had a blast on the island as he was there for three days.


    ¡°I hadn¡¯t had the time, Qing Nu kept me busy for three whole days, I didn¡¯t even get outside.¡±


    Chen Mobai yawned, waved, and walked into his room.


    Seeing this, the team leader, Song Yuexin, was taken aback.


    After leaving the island with the Dance Tool members, she secretly told Zhuang Jialan about Qing Nu coming to pick up Chen Mobai at the shore that day.


    ¡°I heard a rumour that our president was dating the Heavenly Spiritual Root of your Daoist Academy in high school. But because the president and the class flower had an on-and-off relationship, they had to part ways to think about what they truly wanted. It seems that the Heavenly Spiritual Root of the Daoist Academy still holds the charm.¡±


    While on their way to Wood God Island, Zhuang Jialan and Song Yuexin chatted non-stop at the forefront of the ship. Unable to resist, Bian Jingchun joined their discussion.


    As the conversation went on, they began to criticize Chen Mobai¡¯s behaviour.


    The faces of Sun Daoji and the others behind them were weird, with envy clearly visible in the eyes of some of the Daoist Academy students who hadn¡¯t graduated yet.


    After landing, the three women went to visit the Dan Medicine Street of the Jumang Daoist Academy hand in hand. However, after visiting only two shops, they discovered a list that was being circulated all over the streets.


    [The most authoritative off-site sparring ranking of the Daoist Academy!]


    [Jumang Daoist Academy invited a heavenly genius for life examination to compile the official expectation list.]


    [This list is named the Foundation list, signifying the deep foundation and strong combat power, and the most probable of reaching Core Formation within the Foundation Establishment Realm.]


    Just seeing these three headlines attracted everyone¡¯s attention, and Bian Jingchun immediately bought a copy from a student wearing a Jumang Daoist Academy shirt.


    Then, she immediately saw her ranking.


    Exactly at tenth place.


    Ranked last amongst all in the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.


    For a moment, Bian Jingchun felt a little angry.


    She felt that she could at least advance two places, and if the power of the True Dragon Ding is considered, making it to the top six wouldn¡¯t be impossible.


    Ranked above her were Chi Shicheng and Sun Daoji. However, they were both at the Perfect stage of ninth level of Foundation Establishment. Given Ding Chundzhi had not predicted, and based on previous intel, the ranking was not unreasonable.


    ¡°Pei Qingshuang from Shanhai Daoist Academy is only ranked second!¡±


    ¡°Xiahou Weihuan is third, Qi Huanzhi fourth, Tao Mingqing fifth, and Lou Fengcheng sixth.¡±


    ¡°The first place is actually him!?¡±


    ¡°The top six include three from the Daoist Academy and three from the Daoist Academy Schools. As of today, there¡¯s not much difference between the Daoist Academy and the Schools. However, I personally think the first place on this list is debatable.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s there to debate? This is unfair¡­¡±


    The Foundation List started printing since the morning, and it only took half a day to spread throughout the entire Jumang Daoist Academy. Virtually everyone visiting the academy had a copy.


    The first place had been a point of strong doubt for everyone.


    Bian Jingchun moved her gaze upwards to see who could be in first place, even overshadowing Pei Qingshuang.

    At that moment, she felt her right hand tighten. Turning to look, she saw Zhuang Jialan gripping her hand tightly. The other one was shaking as she pointed at the name in the first place.


    Not just her, even Song Yuexin was standing dumbstruck in surprise.


    ¡°Could it be Yan Qiongzhi, the number one female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage?¡±


    With this thought in mind, Bian Jingchun finally saw the first place.


    [Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai!]

 Chapter 509 - Chapter 509: Chapter 351: Reactions from All Sides_1

    Chapter 509: Chapter 351: Reactions from All Sides_1


    On Wood God Island, three unique and elegant female cultivators were seated around a pavilion floating atop a lake, sipping their tea.


    ¡°I can¡¯t accept that Chen Mobai is ranked ahead of me on the list.¡±


    Having finished reading the Foundation List, Pei Qingshuang, a woman of heroic and elegant bearing, furrowed her sharp brows and slapped the piece of paper onto the tea table.


    ¡°I heard from our junior brother Zong that Ding Chundzhi insisted on his opinion, so nobody at the Daoist Academy changed anything. They simply printed it according to his ranking.¡±


    A woman in a green dress, with hair cascading down like a waterfall and a seductive posture, was fiddling with the teaware in her hand. The burgeoning tea leaves shimmered in the teacup, releasing a faintly pleasant aroma as they combined with the boiled water.


    ¡°Why isn¡¯t your name on here? If you are first, I would have accepted it, wouldn¡¯t I?¡±


    Pei Qingshuang accepted a cup of clear tea handed to her by Wenren Xuewei, and puzzlingly asked the other female cultivator.


    ¡°Because I didn¡¯t participate.¡±


    The cold, snow-skinned Yan Qiongzhi muttered in a low voice.


    The three of them, poised on the brink of Core Formation within the upper echelons of the Foundation Establishment realm, maintained an excellent relationship.


    ¡°What are you here for, then?¡±


    Pei Qingshuang was slightly taken aback ¨C she initially thought Yan Qiongzhi was here for the same matter.


    ¡°I feel that I¡¯ve accumulated enough experience, and I¡¯ve decided to give Core Formation a try, so I came to borrow the rank-5 Water Pulse Spirit Qi from Jumang Daoist Institute.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi said, leaving Pei Qingshuang furrowing her brows.


    ¡°Amongst the three of us, indeed you are the first to take this step. Let me congratulate you in advance.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m only about forty or fifty percent certain.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi shook her head, not accepting Pei Qingshuang¡¯s congratulations.


    ¡°At least you have the courage to take that step. Unlike me, I have to painfully wait for the Jade Return Pill.¡±


    While Pei Qingshuang was confident in her dueling ability, she wanted to be absolutely certain when it came to Core Formation. Hence, she had also taken up a position in the Immortal Sect and would need to put in sixty years of service.


    ¡°What about you? Why are you only ranked seventh? If you used your Lasting Spring Cultivation technique, I probably wouldn¡¯t be a match for you.¡±


    Upon hearing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s puzzled question, Wenren Xuewei gave a slight smile and elegantly picked up the teapot, pouring more for her two good friends.


    ¡°It¡¯s just temporary fame. I don¡¯t care about these things.¡±


    ¡°But your fiery personality¡­ This time, the Dance Tool Dao Academy came on strong, sending in three rank-9 Foundation Establishment graduates. Obviously, they are gunning for the first spot.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang pointed at Chi Shicheng, Sun Daoji, and Bian Jingchun, who were ranked in the eighties and nineties on the Foundation List, hinting something.


    ¡°Even though the Daoist Academy ranks by overall scores, the world only cares about the person who ranks first. Even if the Dance Tool Dao Academy wins first place in team scores this time, it still cannot change the fact that they are considered weak under certain people¡¯s public opinion manipulation.¡±


    The offline tournament at the Daoist Academy employed a rule where individual scores contributed to team scores.


    Each person could choose ten opponents to duel with ¨C each victory adds one point, each loss deducts one point, and a draw scores zero.


    Each Daoist Academy forms a team of ten, meaning the maximum score they could accumulate was one hundred points.


    The final team rankings were decided by the total team score.


    This rule was implemented because even if an exceptional talent like Xiahou Weihuan emerged from another academy, he wouldn¡¯t be able to compensate for the points his teammates lost due to defeat.


    The reason for this rule was because the Dance Tool Daoist Academy had a poor run previously, having their individual scores surpassed by the Pure Yang Academy and the Primordial Elemental Academy, hence ending up last in rank.


    From then on, the offline exchange tournament became a team competition.


    If the quality wasn¡¯t enough, they made up with quantity.


    As one of the Four Great Daoist Academies that corralled all the genius cultivators, even the weakest among them had an average strength surpassing that of an academy cultivator.


    This invitation for past graduates to join suited Che Yucheng just fine.


    Even though the three rank-9 Foundation Establishment cultivators, Sun Daoji, were just average among high-level Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were more than capable of defeating weaker opponents.


    If these three used their tactics properly, they could secure at least twenty points.


    There¡¯s a possibility they could even get first place in an Inter-Sect College rankings, an honor they hadn¡¯t won in a long time.


    However, since the team scores depended on the overall capacity of the Daoist Academy, there had been hardly any fluctuation over the past few decades. Therefore, the public mainly focused on the individual scores.


    The Daoist Academy where the person who ranks first in the individual score list belongs to will be considered the number one university in reality.


    For instance, the title of first in Kunpeng Daoist Academy was obtained by the previous generation of chiefs like Lan Haitian and Qi Huanzhi.


    And this is why other Daoist Academies only send the past year¡¯s chief to make an appearance.


    For the Dance Tool Daoist Academy to send three at once, it seemed like they¡¯re showing signs of weakness.

    ¡°Should this require a follow-up maneuver?¡±


    Pei Qingshuang glanced ardently at Chen Mobai, the top of the Foundation List, and spoke up.


    ¡°If you¡¯re upset about it, just express your feelings. I only need to ensure my individual ranking stays within the top four.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei casually stated her goal for this duel. Jumang Daoist Academy never cared much about rankings. They sought out Ding Chundzhi to establish this list to prepare some prizes in advance.


    ¡°I heard from my mother that they have Enlightenment Tea as a prize this time, are you sure you don¡¯t want to aim for it?¡±

 Chapter 510 - Chapter 510: Chapter 351: Reactions from All Parties - Part 2

    Chapter 510: Chapter 351: Reactions from All Parties ¨C Part 2


    Upon revealing a piece of news in jest, Pei Qingshuang made the expressions of Wen Renshu and Yan Qiongzhi change slightly.


    ¡°Enlightenment Tea?!¡±


    ¡­


    In the Pure Yang Academy¡¯s stronghold.


    A cold smirk spread across Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s face when he finished viewing the Foundation List in his hand before he skimmed it with his hand.


    An orange high-end badge flickered between his fingers. Within the blink of an eye, it became ashes that scattered across the lake, carried by the island¡¯s fresh wind.


    ¡°Congratulations Senior on achieving the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, unbeatable in the Foundation Establishment realm!¡±


    Seeing this scene, Si Ma Xingyu revealed a face of joy.


    ¡°Hmph, this time I will challenge everyone of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy one by one. I will thoroughly defeat them, turning this offline discussion into a disgrace that the Dance Tool Daoist Academy cannot wash off even after ten or one hundred years.¡±


    With the pride and vigor of someone who had achieved Sword Sha, Xiahou Weihuan had broader words than his might.


    The Foundation cultivators accompanying him from the Pure Yang Academy were full of confidence.


    ¡°Our Pure Yang Academy is finally about to achieve first place in individual ranking.¡±


    Si Ma Xingyu, who was closest to Xiahou Weihuan, was very clear about the power of Primordial Yang Sword Sha. Witnessing the latter achieving such power, he eagerly foresaw the first ever ranking of Pure Yang Academy as the actual first place since its establishment.


    ¡­


    The Kunpeng Daoist Institute is located on Da Ye Island, which is on two sides east and west across Wood God Island from the Small Leaf Island of Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    Sitting on top of the highest cliff of the island, Qi Huanzhi was absorbing the morning purple qi. He glanced at the Foundation List given by Nangong Xiu, put it aside without expression, and continued to practice the ¡®Six Superintendency Bright Part¡¯ diligently.


    His disregard had Nangong Xiu¡¯s admiration.


    ¡°Although Chen Mobai can also be considered a prodigy, your ¡®Six Superintendency Rain Part¡¯ perfectly restrains his fire attribute sword light. This offline exchange of learning can give you a chance to seize victory by defeating him and skyrocket your reputation. So naturally after I graduate next year, you will assume my role as the Institute¡¯s Head.¡±


    Taishi Shu spoke in such a way after seeing Nangong Xiu.


    ¡°Yes, I will definitely not let you down, President.¡±


    After getting Taishi Shu¡¯s encouragement, Nangong Xiu who usually has a shy demeanor was full of confidence for once.


    ¡­


    Over at the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    After Lou Fengcheng finished reading, he put the table-list aside and began to arrange the matchups.


    ¡°This time, the Dance Tool Daoist Academy will undoubtedly be the target of everyone¡¯s arrows. The team from Jumang Daoist Academy lacks fighting spirit, so we must aim for second place and strive for first. I don¡¯t stand much chance of going against Qi Huanzhi, so you must overcome Taishi Shu. That way our Repairing Heaven Institute can legitimately surpass Kunpeng in public face and become the number one Sect.¡±


    Upon finishing speaking, Ling Daoist teacher nodded in silence.


    Zong Zi of Jumang Daoist Academy practised the ¡®Immovable Cultivation¡¯ method, which made him possess massive blood vitality and spiritual power, and extraordinarily strong defense. But his offense capacity was mediocre, so Ling Daoist teacher could only fight him to stalemate.


    Therefore among the chiefs of the four Daoist Academies, only Taishi Shu would be his opponent who had to be dealt with all his might.


    As for Chen Mobai from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, this number one on paper was not a real challenge. He knew just to look at him and pass.


    Even some of the academy chiefs in the top ten were not even at his realm.


    ¡­


    ¡°The person who made the ranking list seems to quite understand!¡±


    On Small Leaf Island, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show admiration after seeing the Foundation List brought by Zhuang Jialan.


    Isn¡¯t he the number one in the Foundation realm!


    ¡°President, according to the original plan, you should keep a low profile. So, let the three senior sisters like Bian Jingchun lead the charge. They can probe the graduates from the other Daoist Academies on your behalf. Finally, you can then make the final decisive strike.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan was frustrated. As soon as this Foundation List came out, Chen Mobai, who was ranked first, could no longer keep a low profile. He was destined to receive attention from start to finish.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Under absolute power, there won¡¯t be any changes in the result. Our Academy will return to the position where we belong.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s confident words moved Zhuang Jialan, who nodded lightly in response.


    ¡°Right, at the beginning of next year, I need to take the Rank-2 Talisman Maker test. Now that I have some spare time, can you help me review the drawing of those ten talismanic scrolls?¡±


    There were still two days left for offline Daoist Academy communications. After quietly sitting for half a day, Chen Mobai had regained his peak state. He felt that there was no need to be so tense in front of these opponents, so he wanted to use talisman-making to relax his mood.


    ¡°Alright, President.¡±


    Upon hearing that she could be of some assistance, Zhuang Jialan couldn¡¯t help but show a happy expression on her elegant face, framed by her glasses.


    ¡­


    The time for the offline exchange and competition quickly arrived.


    With Zhuang Jialan¡¯s help, Chen Mobai donned his Dancing Device Red and Black Robe, tied up his long black hair, and headed out to the shore.


    The other eight, including Bian Jingchun, were already waiting for him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go and get a glimpse of the talented individuals from the immortal schools,¡± Chen Mobai said, leading the group to the water bridge formed by Song Yuexin and Wang Mengyuan over the lake.


    As he moved, the remaining nine from the Dance Tool Dao Academy followed.


    The ten individuals, like a continuous sheet of fiery red and black clouds, quickly advanced over the lake. Before long, they arrived at Wood God Island.


    ¡°What a coincidence, Senior Lou,¡± Chen Mobai greeted Lou Fengcheng with a big laugh as he saw ten people dressed in the colorful clothes of the Repairing Heaven Institute approaching from across the lake.


    Lou Fengcheng didn¡¯t want to pay attention to him, but out of politeness, he nodded in response.


    At that moment, another ten individuals dressed in red and yellow robes flew over from the lake¡ªit was Xiahou Weihuan and his group from the Pure Yang Academy.


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave them a cold look. With a snort and a flick of his sleeve, he ignored them, heading directly for the shore.


    Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s eyes were icy, but he did not flare up at that moment.


    The others from Pure Yang Academy, having borne with this for so long, could hold on a little longer.


    ¡°Just wait!¡±


    This thought filled the hearts of all those from Pure Yang Academy. Once the contest began, they would enjoy the desolate expressions on the faces of the Dance Tool Dao Academy members after Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s victorious one-against-ten match.


    ¡°Sima Xingyu, we still have a score to settle,¡± Ling Daoist suddenly challenged Sima Xingyu. He had been defeated by Sima Xingyu back when Little Red Sky had just opened. But Chen Mobai¡¯s words at the airport had reminded him about it.


    Although he didn¡¯t care much about the defeat, as a first seat, he had to clear away this stain from the reputation of the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    ¡°I¡¯m always ready. But I¡¯ll challenge Chen Mobai from Dance Tool Dao Academy first. You can wait for my second round,¡± Sima Xingyu replied.


    Sima Xingyu had thrown away his cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment tier-6 to target Chen Mobai, but he got tricked and matched up with Lan Haitian, resulting in a disastrous defeat. He had taken healing pills for the past two years to recover his strength, but the resentment in his heart had never been vented.


    Xiahou Weihuan was aware of this, hence, before his ten-to-one competition, he let Sima Xingyu take his rage out on Chen Mobai. After which, he¡¯d step in and have another round.


    This way, they could completely trample over the reputation of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Ling Daoist initially wanted to tell Sima Xingyu that Chen Mobai had been passed on to him.


    But upon second thought, it seemed laughable. How could a mere rank-3 Foundation Establishment tier dare to say that he ¡°yielded¡± someone? It was obviously an excuse because he dared not face them directly.


    Well, he would let Sima Xingyu get rid of his inner demon first, then he would defeat Sima Xingyu to show everyone the power of the ¡°Guidance Book¡±.


    Thinking of this, Ling Daoist didn¡¯t bother saying anything more to Sima Xingyu.


    Lou Fengcheng and Xiahou Weihuan exchanged glances, a touch of astonishment flashing across their eyes as they seemed to sense something. But Lou didn¡¯t say anything. After all, everyone knew that the target of Pure Yang Academy was only Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°See you soon.¡±


    After bidding Xiahou Weihuan farewell, Lou Fengcheng led his team from Repairing Heaven Institute, following behind the disappearing figures of the ten from Dance Tool Dao Academy, towards the venue of the competition.


    Xiahou Weihuan wore a smile. Just now, in their silent exchange, he had slight upper hand over Lou Fengcheng in their contest of divine senses.

    As expected, having cultivated the Sword Sha, he was indeed unmatched among those at the same stage of Foundation Establishment.


    Unfortunately, each person could only participate ten times. He had decided to use these ten opportunities to carry out a one-against-ten match against Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Should he leave a slot for Pei Qingshuang?


    To prove that he is the no.1 sword cultivator in the Foundation Building Realm!


    With this in mind, Xiahou Weihuan confidently led his team onto Wood God Island.

 Chapter 511 - Chapter 511: Chapter 352: If You Use the Sword, I Admit Defeat_1

    Chapter 511: Chapter 352: If You Use the Sword, I Admit Defeat_1


    The venue for this contest is located at the heart of Jumang Daoist Academy, where the Grand Camphor Tree stands.


    Surprisingly, it is a lake on an island.


    The center of the lake is where the number one spirit plant in the immortal world is located, and their battlefield is this very lake.


    Chen Mobai had thought he arrived early enough, but he was surprised to find that the Kunpeng Daoist Institute arrived even earlier, with ten people wearing flying fish suits standing on a platform, suspended by a huge branch of the Grand Camphor Tree.


    As the hosts, Jumang Daoist Academy was, of course, already present.


    ¡°Friends from Dance Tools Dao Academy, please come this way.¡±


    A young man, dressed in blue robes and possessing a steady aura, called out to Chen Mobai and his group.


    ¡°Chen Senior, this is the chief of our Jumang.¡±


    Song Yuexin, who led the team, quickly introduced to Chen Mobai, but Chen Mobai had already seen Zong Zi¡¯s magic duel video in Little Red Sky and recognized the chief of the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Nice to meet you all, friends from Jumang and Kunpeng.¡±


    Chen Mobai greeted the twenty people from the two major Daoist Academies standing on the platform and subsequently led the people behind him towards their branch platform.


    But the moment his feet left the ground, he felt a slight tug of pressure on his shoulders.


    ¡°This Azure Fall Lake is the territory of the Grand Divine Tree, and the higher you fly, the more pressure you face. It is said that only those who have achieved Divinity Transformation can reach the top of the tree.¡±


    As the host, Song Yuexin immediately reminded them. Chen Mobai glanced at the locations of the platforms of the other two Academies. All were close to the surface of the lake, about three meters in height.


    The platform where Dance Tool Daoist Academy was located was a little lower, about two meters high.


    ¡°It is just above the height they can handle.¡±


    Sun Daoji felt the pressure and glanced at the weakest cultivators, Zhuang Jialan, Jiang Yuyuan, and Zhai Jianbai, and softly spoke.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, get on my ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, not minding this at all. The red bracelet on his wrist turned into a cloud of mist, bringing along not only the ten of them, but also Song Yuexin and Wang Mengyuan, flying them up to the platform belonging to their Academy.


    ¡°President, did we drag everyone down?¡±


    Jiang Yuyuan asked somewhat embarrassedly, and Zhuang Jialan also wore a face full of guilt. With this opening, the contest had effectively begun.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. After all, we will be the ones winning first place in the end.¡±


    Chen Mobai waved his hand nonchalantly, not forcing the platform to rise any higher. He just stood on the edge of the platform, observing the clear and green lake below. The massive, sprawling roots of the Grand Camphor Tree could be clearly seen through the water surface.


    This number one spirit plant in the immortal world was rooted in the center of Azure Waves Lake, which is the core of the rank-5 Water Vein.


    ¡°Buto is here as well.¡±


    As Chen Mobai was observing the Grand Camphor Tree, Sun Daoji spoke.


    Perhaps there was some unspoken rule, or it was arranged by the Jumang Daoist Academy in advance, the ten major academies started making their appearance one by one only after all four Daoist Academies were gathered.


    Following right after Buto, naturally, was the Pure Yang Academy led by Xiahou Weihuan.


    Then came Taiyuan, Shanhai, Guan Xing, True Spirit, Natural, Tian Shu, Spiritual Treasure, Taiyi, Wulei, all arriving one after another.


    ¡°This time, the attendees are all at the Foundation Establishment stage.¡±


    Sun Daoji took an unobtrusive look at the fourteen branch platforms and the 140 cultivators from the Daoist Academies and couldn¡¯t help but nod slightly.


    ¡°Oh, were there Qi Practitioners participating in the past? Could it be that they couldn¡¯t gather ten at the Foundation Establishment stage?¡±


    Chen Mobai found it hard to believe.


    ¡°Yes, the academies ranked towards the bottom occasionally have a few generations of talent at a lower level. When there was no choice, they could only send Qi Disciples to make up the numbers.¡±


    Chi Shicheng, the oldest of the group, took out a monocle, stepped off the platform, stood on a branch of the Grand Camphor Tree, and carefully examined the surroundings while answering Chen Mobai¡¯s question.


    His main reason for coming was to observe this number one spirit plant in the immortal world.


    Upon hearing that, Chen Mobai nodded with a realization.


    Even though Dance Tools Daoist Academy is at the bottom among the top four, an average success rate of seventy or eighty percent for Foundation Establishment had given him the illusion that Foundation Establishment was easy.


    He had completely forgotten about the example of Meng Huang who was still struggling at the threshold of Foundation Establishment.


    Ninety-nine percent of the cultivators in the immortal world spend their entire lives stuck at the Qi Cultivation stage.


    ¡°This time, graduated disciples are allowed to participate. Even if it¡¯s the academies on the lower ends, they can muster up a full team at the Foundation Establishment stage. If this contest is successfully held, it may become the norm in the future.¡±


    Bian Jingchun, a civil servant from Crimson City, had a keen sense and vaguely sensed that this might be a trial from the higher-ups.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good idea. The future path and rankings should be left to the future junior disciples to decide. If we win everything for them, they will have no room to grow in the future.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head and expressed his opinion.


    His words met with the agreement of most people.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, this contest could not be changed anymore.


    Feeling that the gaze of more than ninety percent of the people on the fourteen branch platforms of the Grand Camphor Tree had fallen on himself, Chen Mobai gently smiled and stood at the front, letting everyone see him more clearly.


    ¡°If everyone is present, isn¡¯t it time to begin? I¡¯m already a bit impatient.¡±


    Nobody expected the first to speak would be Chen Mobai.


    [Did this guy really think of himself as number one?!]

 Chapter 512 - Chapter 512: Chapter 352: If I Use the Sword, Consider Me Defeated_2

    Chapter 512: Chapter 352: If I Use the Sword, Consider Me Defeated_2


    Sharp gazes, akin to swords, were directed at the platform where the Dance Tool Dao Academy was established, and what made Chen Mobai feel most perturbed was a valiant woman from the Mountain and Sea School wearing a dark green fitted dress, a sword at her waist, and having well-rounded, lengthy legs.


    This must be Pei Qingshuang.


    [Not bad, she¡¯s worthy of being next in line to me on the list.]


    Feeling the tangible sword intent within Pei Qingshuang¡¯s gaze, Chen Mobai suddenly had an urge to spar and learn from her.


    The exchange of glances between the two naturally attracted everyone¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Ahem, ahem!¡±


    Seeing the discussions arise, Zong Zi, acting as the host under the prompting glances from Wenren Xuewei, had to clear his throat, draw everyone¡¯s gaze to himself and recall the past, envisioning the present.


    ¡°The offline discussions of the Daoist Academy originated 5,000 years ago. Initially, only the four of us from the Daoist Academy participated, with the aim of facilitating exchanges and promoting competition among talented individuals to bring out the best in themselves.¡±


    ¡°Subsequently, Taiyuan, Mountain and Sea, Guan Xing, Natural, Tian Shu, and Five Lei, the six major schools, joined.¡±


    ¡°Today, it has become the biggest event encompassing all the young generations within the Daoist Academy. Moreover, for this edition, to allow us to witness the most outstanding cultivators within the same realm, many graduated senior students have been specially invited to participate. As the hosts, we feel immensely honoured¡­¡±


    After a lengthy speech from Zong Zi who then reiterated the rules of the competition, he finally declared the start.


    ¡°The contest¡¯s stage is this Azure Waves Lake. We¡¯ve designated ten areas, all differently shaped. Everyone can choose one as their stage and choose the opponents they want to contest. Of course, your opponents also have the right to refuse.¡±


    ¡°All representative students of the Daoist Academy are required to at least participate in one match every day.¡±


    ¡°This will last for a total of ten days. In the end, individual points accumulated will form the team points, determining the rankings of the Daoist Academies for the upcoming years.¡±


    After finishing his speech, Zong Zi bowed slightly towards the remaining thirteen branch platforms and then scattered a symbol into the Azure Waves Lake below the platform.


    The initially clear lake water began to glow with golden light, forming around the Big Tree, dividing half of the lake into ten varying shaped stages. There were quadrilaterals, triangles and hexagons, among others.


    ¡°Since I have the honour of being the host, let me start¡­¡±


    No sooner had Zong Zi finished speaking than a fiery sword light from the Pure Yang Academy descended first onto the lake¡¯s surface just as Zong Zi was halfway off the Jumang Daoist Academy¡¯s branch platform.


    ¡°I, Sima Xingyu from the Pure Yang Academy, wish to learn from the dance weapon academy chief¡¯s expertise.¡±


    Sima Xingyu landed on a rhombus-shaped lakeside platform, holding a broad-bladed longsword in both hands and raising his head to bellow at the site of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Once he stood forward, many True Cultivators from the Daoist Academy, who initially intended to challenge Chen Mobai, halted their steps.


    [What a pity. The chance to make a name has been preempted.]


    This was the thought in most people¡¯s minds at that moment.


    ¡°I refuse.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s terse response made these people¡¯s eyes light up, followed by contemptuous glances.


    Although they knew that the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s cultivation level was merely at the third layer of Foundation Establishment and he had brought three graduates as bodyguards to ensure the academy¡¯s ranking, it was still disillusioning to see Chen Mobai, who had swept across the competition in Little Red Sky, being so evasive. It felt like a myth being shattered.


    They could understand, though, considering Sima Xingyu was at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment and was also a Sword Cultivator who had practiced sword light.


    ¡°What, are you scared?¡±


    Sima Xingyu tilted his head, mocking.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s just that I promised Ling Dao Shi to leave you to him.¡±


    Chen Mobai stated his reason, for he was always a man of his word and would fulfill any promise he made.


    ¡°In that case, why don¡¯t you leave today¡¯s battle to me, Senior Brother Chen? I have been displeased with the outcome of our confrontation in Little Red sky.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s refusal, Nangong Xiu from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, who had long targeted Chen Mobai as his prime opponent, spoke up.


    ¡°Hahaha, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so popular. I wasn¡¯t satisfied with our battle in Little Red Sky either. If you don¡¯t want to fight them, you can come to me.¡±


    These words came from Lu Qiulong of the True Spiritual Academy. He sat on the platform with his Rank-2 Peak Spirit Beast, the Extremely Wicked Tiger, by him, so formidable that the companion beasts of the other nine Foundation Establishment cultivators from the True Spiritual Academy all shrank to the corners of the platform.


    ¡°Hmph, if you¡¯re scared, just admit it. Using Repairing Heaven Institute as an excuse. It¡¯s because of cowards like you that Dance Tool Dao Academy has been stuck at the fourth rank for so long. The great banner of Crimson City should be held up by us of the Pure Yang Academy.¡±


    Seeing someone trying to take his opponent, Sima Xingyue became slightly anxious, worried that Chen Mobai might really choose them to avoid his challenge. He immediately started to verbally attack, his words almost like a curse pointing at the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Those with tempers would not


    take such provocations lightly.


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡±


    Bian Jingchun¡¯s face turned cold, she took a step forward and was about to give Sima Xingyue an unforgettable defeat.


    But Chen Mobai raised his right hand, stopping her.


    If this was one year ago, Bian Jingchun certainly wouldn¡¯t have hesitated at all. But after being defeated by Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Sha ten times, she began to get used to following the commands of this handsome young man.


    So, she stopped in her tracks.


    ¡°Brother Ling, I¡¯ll defeat him once today, and you can defeat him once tomorrow. That wouldn¡¯t count as me going back on my word, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked towards the Repairing Heaven Institute not far away and calmly asked Ling Daoshi.


    ¡°Whatever you want.¡±


    Ling Daoshi couldn¡¯t be bothered to get involved in the grudge between Dance Tool Dao Academy and Pure Yang Academy. In fact, if it weren¡¯t for maintaining his decorum, he actually wanted to challenge Chen Mobai directly.


    ¡°It seems that your status as the number one on the Foundation List has garnered much hatred towards him. Is this your revenge?¡±


    On the platform of the Astral Observation Academy, Ding Chundzhi listened to the words of the girl beside him, and touched his right eye that was healed but still scarred, with a faint smile.


    With a splash sound,


    Chen Mobai¡¯s figure descended from the platform, his toe touching the surface of the lake, causing small ripples to spread out.


    ¡°Draw your sword. I want to destroy you in your proud territory, giving you a defeat you will never forget!¡±


    Sima Xingyue saw that Chen Mobai was indeed unable to withstand provocation. He laughed loudly, lifting the wide-bladed longsword in front of him, its fiery red sword light flaring up and creating a dense and hot sword light on the broad blade.


    As the sword light pulsed, Azure Waves Lake began to spread out ripples with Sima Xingyue as the center. All the Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Daoist Academies felt a sense of oppression when they saw the Yuan Yang Sword Light.


    ¡°Sword?¡±


    Chen Mobai heard Sima Xingyue¡¯s words and showed a puzzled expression. He had no intention of drawing his sword at all.


    He held out a finger and lightly shook it at Sima Xingyue.


    ¡°To deal with you, if I use a sword, consider it as my loss.¡±


    As soon as these words came out, Sima Xingyue¡¯s face turned pale, and the watching Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, aside from those from Dance Tool Dao Academy, were all shocked. Some people even thought Chen Mobai was planning to throw back the earlier insults before his defeat.


    ¡°I¡¯m gonna tear your mouth off.¡±


    Sima Xingyue roared in anger, his giant Yang Sword swung up, a glaring Yuan Yang Sword Light accompanied his hands as they slashed down, like a thunderbolt from the sky, bringing a terrifying power which threatened to cut everything in its way, heavily falling towards the top of Chen Mobai¡¯s head.


    Then, in front of everyone¡¯s incredulous eyes,


    Two slender fingers reached out and trapped the giant Yang Sword, filled with faint green electricity.


    ¡°It seems I¡¯ve been keeping a low profile, a character of your caliber even dared to challenge me.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, his thumb and forefinger twisted lightly, the swirling Yimu electricity accompanying his words exploded in an instant, like a thunderbolt from his fingertip.

    The lightning was like a tree, the terrifying power of the thunder directly shattered the giant Yang Sword.


    With his two fingers holding the broken blade, Chen Mobai flung it towards the lake on his right, raising massive waves like an electromagnetic cannon.


    If this strike hit Sima Xingyue, it could probably pulverize him.


    ¡°You don¡¯t even have the qualification to have me point my sword at you.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai kicked Si Ma Xingyue right off the diamond-shaped lake platform.

 Chapter 513 - Chapter 513: Chapter 353 Counting the Opponents_1

    Chapter 513: Chapter 353 Counting the Opponents_1


    The entire field was silent!


    All the young Foundation Establishment True Cultivators on the platform opened their eyes wide, looking with disbelief at the young man standing on the lake, dressed in a red and black wide-sleeved robe, with high ponytail hair buns, and a handsome face.


    Some even rubbed their eyes, thinking they might be hallucinating or misseeing.


    The face of Nangong Xiu, who had previously said he wanted to challenge Chen Mobai, immediately collapsed. He sighed, his eyes filled with melancholy.


    Lu Qiulong also slightly furrowed his brows, once resting comfortably on the soft fur of his Spirit Beast on the platform, his demeanor was relaxed, but at this moment, his brows creased, his expression serious.


    Behind him, among the nine Foundation Establishment True Cultivators of the True Spiritual Academy, Gong Xiangyu, who had only just successfully established his Foundation this year and managed to join the offline friendly matches, used to secretly scoff at Chen Mobai for becoming everyone¡¯s target, being pointed at by others.


    But he couldn¡¯t laugh now.


    He looked at his peer standing on the lake, strong like a thunder god, and felt an emotion akin to frustration welling up in his heart.


    Back in Red Sandstone City, when he lost to Chen Mobai, he totally didn¡¯t accept it, believing it was just because he wasn¡¯t good at fighting. If he wasn¡¯t so arrogant and had learned some dueling before the entrance exam, he was sure he would¡¯ve won.


    On their second encounter, Chen Mobai had just successfully established his foundation. Gong Xiangyu thought it was only good luck. If he had the faculty strength and resource techniques of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he could have reached Foundation Establishment at that time too.


    This was their third meeting, and it was exactly this time.


    For the first time, Gong Xiangyu realized that he lost to Chen Mobai in all aspects of cultivation and dueling just because he wasn¡¯t as good.


    Compared to Chen Mobai, he felt as if he was completely worthless.


    No wonder at that time even a person with the blue female celestial spirit root would choose a guy who didn¡¯t seem special at all.


    During the entrance exam, when facing the broken Dao Heart of Chen Mobai, Gong Xiangyu had barely healed over the last seven years, but at this moment, it broke open again, and the crack was much larger than before.


    This time, Gong Xiangyu didn¡¯t even have the thought of catching up or surpassing him.


    ¡°Really, I didn¡¯t expect my opening duel to be against an eighth layer Foundation Establishment, such a weak opponent.¡±


    After Chen Mobai kicked Sima Xingyu away, he lamented in dissatisfaction.


    His words caused the fists of everyone at Pure Yang Academy to tighten, Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s face turned furious. With a ¡°Peng¡± sound, he landed on the surface of the lake, instantly forming an intent to attack, his right hand swiftly forming a sword and aimed directly at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    A soft shout was heard, a girl in a green dress had already appeared in front of Chen Mobai. She swung her hand lightly, an invisible, staggering pressure dropped from the sky, and seemed to petrify Xiahou Weihuan, who froze in an instant.


    With a bang, the orange-red glow flickered in Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s eyes, he forced himself free from the stagnation, but he dared not stand in front of the girl in the green dress and retreated ten steps.


    ¡°Wenren Xuewei!¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan looked at the girl in the green dress with a hint of fear. If he hadn¡¯t developed Sword Sha, he would probably have been slaughtered by her just now!


    ¡°Junior brother Chen has just fought a match, and you violate the rules by attacking him without declaring a challenge,¡±


    As Wenren Xuewei spoke, her bright white fingers waved subtly, like undulating water currents. Rings of invisible ripples carrying a terrifying pressure swept towards the fourteen platforms.


    ¡°I¡¯ll remind one last time, if anyone breaks the rules again, I will see it as a challenge to the dignity of Jumang Daoist Academy. Although I¡¯m not fond of fighting, suppressing any of you is not a problem.¡±


    In between her speaking, a vast spiritual power that made everyone tremble with fear exploded from the Divine Tree behind her. All the Foundation Establishment cultivators felt an involuntary sense of prospective death in that instant.


    ¡°The Lasting Spring Cultivation!!!¡± Gasped Chi Shicheng when he realized this. Only cultivators who had mastered this Divinity Transformation technique could borrow the power of the Divine Tree. Wenren Xuewei¡¯s ability to do this was undoubtedly a proof that she had mastered one of the supreme mystical techniques that had the highest threshold in this Daoist sect.


    ¡°Although I appreciate you stepping in, Sister, why do I feel like you¡¯re helping him?¡±


    At the moment when all the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators were silenced under the pressure of the Lasting Spring Cultivation, Chen Mobai¡¯s somewhat unsatisfied voice came from behind Wenren Xuewei.


    She turned her head after hearing this, her face carrying a hint of annoyance.


    ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±


    ¡°Sima Xingyu is such a minor character, he can¡¯t even let me warm up. Xiahou Weihuan attacked me without regard for the rules, and I can also go against the rules to defeat him seriously. You stopped my move, I can¡¯t act angrily and do heavy moves.¡±


    When Chen Mobai finished, everyone took a deep cold breath.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Can such words be spoken in front of a grand audience?


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan was also enraged by Chen Mobai¡¯s contemptuous attitude. However, at this time, he finally remembered Sima Xingyu and quickly turned around to chase after the junior who was kicked away to an unknown place by Chen Mobai.


    He was deeply afraid that Chen Mobai, the tricky top student from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, had seriously injured him during their brief confrontation.


    Sima Xingyu had already damaged his foundation by wasting his cultivation level. If he was heavily injured again this time, his path to the Gold Core might became bleak.

 Chapter 514 - Chapter 514: Chapter 353 Tallying Up the Opponents_2

    Chapter 514: Chapter 353 Tallying Up the Opponents_2


    Therefore, despite his anger, Xiahou Weihuan was clear-minded enough to prioritize. He instructed the chief of Pure Yang Academy to handle the situation here, while he himself went to find Sima Xingyu who had been kicked away.


    ¡°Has he run away? Alas, I was hoping to warm up.¡±


    When Chen Mobai saw the disappearing figure of Xiahou Weihuan turned into a light of fire, he dissipated the thunderbolts flickering in his hand with a regretful tone.


    ¡°Chen Mobai of Dance Tool Dao Academy wins, earning 1 point.¡±


    At this moment, Zong Zi on the platform finally reacted and immediately announced the result of the first match.


    Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s momentum was too strong just now. Thankfully Wen Ren Xuewei intervened. Otherwise, had he and Chen Mobai the monster irresponsibly started to fight each other, this offline match of the Daoist Academy could have lost control from the start.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you have already won, why not go up first?¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei tried to persuade Chen Mobai with patience.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t everyone have the chance to spar ten times? Since I¡¯ve already stepped down, I should at least stretch my muscles.¡±


    Chen Mobai said cryptically, looking at the green-clad girl in front of him with slightly gleaming eyes. The reputation of Lasting Spring Cultivation was indeed great. On the rare occasion that someone managed to cultivate it, he longed to try it himself.


    ¡°You mean you want to spar with me?¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei raised her eyebrows slightly upon seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze.


    ¡°Would Senior Sister please offer me guidance?¡±


    ¡°I refuse.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought Wen Ren Xuewei was challenging him, but he didn¡¯t expect an outright refusal.


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°There are ten days of offline matches. To ensure that all ten days will be exceptional, you, who draws the crowd the most, are better off fighting one match a day.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei said something quite playful, an excuse that Chen Mobai did not anticipate.


    ¡°Then when would Senior Sister be willing to offer guidance?¡±


    ¡°Anytime you like, as long as it¡¯s not today, I will spare one out of my remaining nine days for you.¡±


    This sentence of Wen Ren Xuewei earned the admiration of everyone present.


    The terrifying power that Chen Mobai demonstrated in defeating Sima Xingyu far exceeded that of the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Even Qi Huanzhi and Lou Fengcheng, who were always haughty, were silenced by Chen Mobai¡¯s Thunder Method that shattered a sword with a mere snap of his fingers. They were considering how they would deal with such a spell.


    Even Nangong Xiu had started to hide behind Taishi Shu. He was already lacking confidence and deeply feared that Chen Mobai would remember his ignorant words and pull him out for a beating.


    ¡°Since you¡¯ve said so, I¡¯ve decided.¡±


    After hearing Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s words, Chen Mobai brightened up, snapped his fingers, and began selecting his opponents for the following days.


    ¡°Although one of my ten rounds has been wasted by a clueless fool, the remaining nine rounds must provide me with worthy opponents.¡±


    If Chen Mobai had said this before defeating Sima Xingyu, everyone would have thought that he was making excuses not to fight.


    But now, the True Cultivators on the fourteen platforms all had grave expressions. Some averted their eyes, fearing that Chen Mobai might pick them.


    ¡°Jialan, give me that thing.¡±


    Chen Mobai shouted at the Dance Tool Dao Academy platform, and Zhuang Jialan immediately pulled out the Foundation List from her bag and tossed it over the lake.


    ¡°Let¡¯s follow this, those ranked below me come one by one.¡±


    As he unrolled the Foundation List, Chen Mobai turned to face the platform of Shan Hai Academy. His eyes met with the fierce gaze of Pei Qingshuang. The latter¡¯s left hand was steadying the trembling sword hilt at his waist, calming the impulse of the renowned sword to leave its sheath.


    ¡°Pei Qingshuang of Shan Hai Academy, since you are ranked just below me, be my opponent on the last day.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Pei Qingshuang stepped forward and nodded assertively.


    ¡°I hope your sword will not disappoint me.¡±


    Then, Chen Mobai replied: ¡°You are worthy of me drawing my sword.¡±


    After saying this, he did not wait for Pei Qingshuang to respond. He turned and faced the platform of Pure Yang Academy.


    ¡°Xiahou Weihuan, you should be ready on the penultimate day.¡±


    His disdainful attitude made the remaining eight Foundation Establishment true cultivators of Pure Yang Academy feel humiliated, but they dared not retort.


    With Xiahou Weihuan absent, the current chief of Pure Yang gritted his teeth and agreed. However, his previous unbeatable confidence bred from the Sword Sha was gradually fading.


    He even began to wonder if the Sword Sha could break Chen Mobai¡¯s Thunder Method.


    ¡°The fourth on the Foundation List is¡­ Qi Huanzhi.¡±


    Chen Mobai seemed to only remember the top three, upon reaching this point, he had to flip the list to confirm that it was from Kunpeng Daoist Institute.


    This action made Taishi Shu and others frown, feeling that Chen Mobai was looking down on Qi Huanzhi.


    But at this point, no one dared to speak up in front of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    On the side of Kunpeng Daoist Institute, the only one qualified to respond to Chen Mobai was Qi Huanzhi. He said a word calmly.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Fifth place, Tao Mingqing!¡±


    Chen Mobai did not know him, but since he could rank here, and received high praise from Sun Daoji, he must be a person of extraordinary talent.


    Tao Mingqing had a scholarly appearance, but despite his young age, he sported a beard. His whole person exuded an air of transcendent elegance.


    ¡°I am ready at any time.¡±


    In response to Chen Mobai¡¯s call-out, he waved his hand with a smile.

 Chapter 515 - Chapter 515: Chapter 353 Counting the Opponents_3

    Chapter 515: Chapter 353 Counting the Opponents_3


    ¡°The sixth rank belongs to you, Senior Lou. I hold you in high esteem, but since you have this rank, I fear that if I don¡¯t challenge you, people might gossip about your Repairing Heaven Institute.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words caused Lou Fengcheng¡¯s eye to twitch, making it seem like he¡¯d already defeated him.


    Yet, the terrifying memory of the Rank-3 Thunder Method made him suppress the retort that threatened to burst forth. In the end, he simply said one word.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    ¡°As the seventh, you¡¯ll be my opponent on the fifth day. Are you okay with that?¡±


    After challenging everyone, Chen Mobai turned back to Wenren Xuewei beside him and politely asked her opinion.


    ¡°I suggest you save me for the last day, so you don¡¯t lose your invincibility by losing to me, which might affect your future battles.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei¡¯s words lit up Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes.


    She has a similar personality to mine.


    ¡°Placing you at the seventh rank would discredit this Foundation List.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words rendered Ding Chundzhi of the Astral Observation Academy somewhat restless upon their platform.


    Wenren Xuewei¡¯s strength was undoubtedly the best among those present. She wasn¡¯t inferior to Pei Qingshuang in any way.


    However, since she didn¡¯t allow divination, Ding Chundzhi had no choice but to place her seventh.


    The subsequent eighth to tenth ranks belong to Chi Shicheng, Sun Daoji, and Bian Jingchun from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    Of course, Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t going to challenge them; he immediately turned his gaze to the eleventh rank.


    Ding Chundzhi.


    ¡°I¡¯m not good at Magic Duels. If you challenge me, I¡¯ll concede today.¡±


    The moment Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes landed on the Astral Observation Academy¡¯s platform, Ding Chundzhi immediately waved his hands. Ignoring his own stature of Foundation Establishment Perfection, he straightaway conceded.


    ¡°So there are three matches left.¡±


    Chen Mobai, too, was not the kind to keep pressuring. Seeing Ding Chundzhi¡¯s response, he decided to let him go, muttering to himself as he reassessed the rankings.


    ¡°The eleventh is me.¡±


    Lu Qiulong took the initiative to speak. He stood up, looking directly at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Senior Lu, your cultivation level is a bit low. Why don¡¯t we skip our duel? I¡¯ll reserve the last three matches for the chiefs of the three major academies.¡±


    Recalling the time when Lu Qiulong had given a white cat to Hua Zijing in Crimson City, Chen Mobai decided to show rare leniency and suggested skipping their duel.


    However, his remarks caused Lu Qiulong¡¯s mouth to twitch. What does he mean his cultivation level is low? Isn¡¯t Chen Mobai only at Foundation Establishment Third Layer?


    Compared to the other opponents, all at Foundation Establishment Perfection, the seventh level Foundation Establishment Lu Qiulong was indeed inferior.


    But he has a Rank-2 Peak companion beast. His combat power with the Imperial Soul Combination Strike was highly praised by Lan Haitian.


    The Repairing Heaven Group even invited Lu Qiulong to replace Lan Haitian as the leader of Group Six, demonstrating his formidable combat capabilities.


    ¡°During our fight at Little Red Sky, I didn¡¯t get to exhibit my full power. This opportunity is rare, and I want to witness your swordsmanship.¡±


    Lu Qiulong, also a man of honor, didn¡¯t accept Chen Mobai¡¯s offer and directly challenged him instead.


    ¡°Since you¡¯ve said it this way, Senior Lu, I¡¯ll make an exception again.¡±


    Chen Mobai had initially planned not to use his sword against opponents who hadn¡¯t reached the Foundation Establishment Perfection level, as it seemed too overbearing.


    I¡¯ll consider it as returning the favor for the cat.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°So, there are two matches left¡­ It would have been perfect to distribute them among the chiefs of the three Daos if not for Sima Xingyu provoking me. Then, I could have completed the feat of overpowering my peers.¡±


    Just like a pleasant nap being disturbed by a mosquito, Chen Mobai looked at the Pure Yang Academy with dissatisfaction again.


    Ling Daoshi, Taishi Shu, and Zong Zi¡¯s brows furrowed.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hide his voice, making them feel like there was a sword hanging over their heads. They wanted to fight back, but recalling the Rank-3 Thunder Method left them pessimistic about their chances.


    Why is this Head of Disciples so strong amongst the others?

 Chapter 516 - Chapter 516: Chapter 354: You Have Already Tried Your Best_1

    Chapter 516: Chapter 354: You Have Already Tried Your Best_1


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen is very powerful, I admit that I am inferior. The remaining two rounds can be left to Senior Brother Ling and Junior Sister Taishi.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was perplexed, Zong Zi, who was the host, stood up, voluntarily acknowledged defeat, and solved his worries.


    ¡°Very good, very good!¡±


    You Ling and Taishi Shu listened and didn¡¯t know if they should say something in their hearts.


    But they didn¡¯t have the same thick skin as Zong Zi and had to reluctantly accept Chen Mobai¡¯s invitation to spar.


    ¡°Same time tomorrow, I¡¯ll be waiting for you here.¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed at Taishi Shu, and after saying these words, threw the Foundation List in his hand to Zhuang Jialan on the Platform of Dancing Instrument Dao Institute. He then turned around, walking towards the direction outside the lake with his hands behind his back.


    ¡°Where are you going?¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai walking past her, Wenren Xuewei couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell me to fight once a day? My quota for today is used up, there¡¯s no use staying here, I might as well go find a friend.¡±


    Chen Mobai retorted curiously instead.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to watch the duel of your opponent? Like me, I might have a spell as powerful as your Thunder method!¡±


    Wenren Xuewei¡¯s words earned a shake of the head from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Either way, the result is the same, what difference does it make to watch or not watch.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai moved his toes and landed by the lake, disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight in two flashes.


    [This guy¡­]


    Seeing this, Pei Qing Shuang¡¯s hand tightened on his sword, if not for Wenren Xuewei calming things down, he probably couldn¡¯t resist drawing his sword and chasing after him.


    Qi Huanzhi continued to wear an expressionless face as usual, while Lou Fengcheng showed signs of unhappiness.


    The remaining opponents all clenched their fists tighter, but when they thought of the astonishing Thunder method earlier, they quietly loosened their grip.


    Only after Chen Mobai left did the heated discussions amongst the hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators begin.


    ¡°So this is the Magic Duel winner who has dominated the Little Red Sky ranking for two years in a row!¡±


    ¡°I originally thought he was unbeatable because of his Sword Light and his low realm level, but it seems like I was wrong. Luckily, his realm level is low, or else he might have already swept through the entire Foundation Building Realm.¡±


    ¡°What nonsense, there¡¯s still Lan Haitian!¡±


    A True Spiritual Academy cultivator couldn¡¯t help but retort when he heard his Spiritual Treasure Academy peer say this.


    ¡°Indeed, Lan Haitian is invincible at the Foundation Establishment level, but I think if this Magic Duel winner from the Dance Tool Dao Academy was at the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, Lan Haitian might not be his match.¡±


    ¡°Any Tom, Dick, and Harry dare to challenge the number one cultivator in the immortal gate Foundation Building stages. If you said Yan Qiong Zhi, it might be somewhat possible. The power of the Gold Core domain is beyond the imagination of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage.¡±


    Hearing such ignorant words, a student from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute couldn¡¯t help but join in, sneeringly saying.


    ¡°If you need to use the power of the Gold Core Domain to be able to defeat the Magic Duel winner, then Lan Haitian is already defeated.¡±


    The Spiritual Treasure Academy cultivator¡¯s words left both the Kunpeng Daoist Institute and True Spiritual Academy speechless, wanting to refute but unable to find a comeback.


    Over at the Dance Instrument Dao Academy, Bian Jingchun and others naturally heard this argument, and couldn¡¯t help but smile at the Spiritual Treasure Academy¡¯s direction.


    After all, it was a school spun off from their own academy, and they were naturally supportive.


    Dai Shiqing, the chief of the Spiritual Treasure Academy, had previously competed with Chen Mobai in the Little Red Sky. He was convinced in his defeat, and after today, Chen Mobai¡¯s status in his mind was already the number one person in the Foundation Establishment stage.


    [Indeed, worthy of being the chief senior brother of the upper court, I am about to graduate, I hope I can pass the application to continue my studies at the Dance Tool Dao Academy. The more contact I have with geniuses like Chief Chen, the faster I can progress.]


    Thinking of this, Dai Shiqing waved at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and under Bian Jingchun¡¯s invitation, naturally conversed with them, building relationships early.


    In the meantime, the second duel had already started.


    The two involved also happened to be the very popular chief cultivators of their respective academies.


    Taishi Shu seemed a bit angry, and after Chen Mobai had left, she directly called out Zong Zi.


    The current chiefs of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute and Jumang Daoist Institute were competing. Had it been before, this certainly would¡¯ve been viewed as the most peak duel.


    Although many Perfection stage graduates were added now, it still attracted everyone¡¯s attention.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Jialan, record this match for our fellow student to see when we return. After all, he will compete with Taishi Shu tomorrow, and it¡¯s always good to be more prepared.¡±


    Bian Jingchun reminded Zhuang Jialan, who immediately nodded, took out her mobile phone, and started filming the two chiefs fighting above the lake surface.


    ¡°Since he left early, I¡¯m guessing even if you put it in front of him, he wouldn¡¯t watch.¡±


    Sun Daoji sighed, comparing how the old wave will eventually be surpassed by the new one, he felt old even though he was still young.


    ¡°Record it anyway, other people can also take some pictures of the valuable Magic Duel spars, although Chen Junior Brother appears to be boastful in his words, he¡¯s actually very measured in his actions, a very reliable younger generation.¡± Chi Shicheng, who was observing the Big Tree through a monocle, suddenly spoke.

 Chapter 517 - Chapter 517: Chapter 354: You Have Already Tried Your Best_2

    Chapter 517: Chapter 354: You Have Already Tried Your Best_2


    He is the eldest and the most experienced. He saw the calm and reliability behind Chen Mobai¡¯s rampant facade.


    Zhuang Jialan, Jiang Yuyuan, and others from Dance Tool Dao Academy, who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, nodded in confusion.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s also select our opponents now. After all, we have to fight once a day, and we should accumulate points in the early days. If we manage to secure the first place, we will challenge Qi Huanzhi and others to identify our shortcomings.¡±


    Bian Jingchun clapped her hands gently, calling Zhongli Tianyu and others over.


    Chen Mobai was not present, and as Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng were older and did not wish to meddle in these matters, the remaining Daoist Academy students came under Bian Jingchun¡¯s management. After all, she had been the chief before graduating.


    ¡°I have already chosen my opponent.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu was the first to express his opinion. He looked at Nangong Xiu, the one who had just challenged Chen Mobai, with a cold gaze.


    Since Chen Mobai had already defeated Nangong Xiu and slots to spar with him were valuable, he chose to ignore him.


    However, Zhongli Tianyu thought that it was necessary to teach Nangong Xiu a lesson.


    To let him know that everyone must take responsibility for their words.


    ¡°With your strength, you could even give the other three top students from the Daoist Academy a run for their money. But Nangong Xiu has mastered the Six Sovereigns Rain Technique, so be careful when you spar.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu responded proudly to Bian Jingchun¡¯s reminder.


    ¡°Torrential rain is just the prelude to thunder. When I, the Thunder Emperor, arrive, he will have no choice but to bow down to me!¡±


    Bian Jingchun didn¡¯t bother with the brat anymore; instead, she began guiding the three who had weaker cultivation levels.


    Although Zha Jianbai was at the third layer of the Foundation Establishment stage, as a Sword Cultivator and a genuine Sword Dao genius, he basically ranked fairly high in the sparring matches, unless he encountered the chief students or graduates of the academies.


    Jiang Yuyuan was at the second layer of Foundation Establishment, and Zhuang Jialan was at the first.


    Their participation was just for the sake of it.


    Bian Jingchun only asked them to soak in the atmosphere. If they felt unmatched in strength during the sparring matches, they should immediately concede.


    Now that the Dance Tool Dao Academy had sent three cultivators at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, along with the monster-like Chen Mobai, they were essentially guaranteed to secure the first place for the group scores.


    Even if these two lost all ten matches, they would still technically contribute.


    While intense discussions about strategizing were happening here, Chen Mobai had already arrived at the Elixir Refining Room.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you supposed to be at the Divine Tree?¡±


    Looking at him walking in, Qing Nu asked with surprise. Her right hand never left the sand furnace where she was refining the Camel Fat Ointment, using her extremely pure Wood Spirit Power to control the flame¡¯s temperature. Simultaneously, she used her Divine Sense to adjust the integration and reaction of the primary and auxiliary medicines.


    ¡°My opponents are too weak. That Cameo girl from your academy saw the massive traffic I naturally attract and wouldn¡¯t let me finish all ten matches in one day, so I came to find you.¡±


    Chen Mobai walked up to Qing Nu with a smile and reached out his right hand to take over control of the flame¡¯s temperature from her.


    The two of them often cooperated while refining elixirs, and their coordination was remarkable.


    Once Chen Mobai injected his Pure Yang Spiritual Power, Qing Nu slowly withdrew her Wood Spirit Power.


    ¡°At the beginning, the temperature of the flames needs to be constantly changed due to the various medicinal properties, so we manually control it. But when it comes to mid-stage of medicine fusion, we can use the temperature control formation that this sand furnace naturally possesses for mechanical operation. I just need to check the fusion conditions of the medicine ingredients daily to ensure they are within normal limits.¡±


    After withdrawing her hand, Qing Nu did not stop to rest. Her Divine Sense remained detached and resided within the sand furnace, orchestrating the order of the ingredients¡¯ refinement.


    ¡°Actually, I can manage it on my own. If you have free time, you can explore this place. Both Ten Thousand Waters and the Forest House Cave have the most beautiful natural scenery within the Immortal Gate. It¡¯s rare that you¡¯re here, don¡¯t miss it.¡±


    Upon hearing Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai shook his head without thinking.


    ¡°I don¡¯t enjoy sightseeing. If I have time, I usually stay home to meditate and cultivate Qi. I prefer the feeling of mastering spells and improving myself.¡±


    Hearing this, Qing Nu¡¯s lips curled up slightly.


    It was still him, utterly unchanged.


    She remembered clearly that in Red Sandstone City, as a high school student, he exhibited an ambitious spirit far beyond his peers. Every Good Deed Point was spent on concocting elixirs for enhancing spiritual and divine senses.


    Apart from discussing alchemy, their most common shared pastime was eating fish, as far as she could remember.


    The thought of eating fish brought even more joy to Qing Nu¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°What¡¯s up? Did you think of something happy?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I thought of something delicious.¡±


    ¡°Roasted fish?¡±


    ¡°How do you know?¡±


    ¡°In all the years we¡¯ve known each other, there aren¡¯t many things you¡¯ve expressed a fondness for. Roasted fish is one of them and is the one you seem to enjoy the most, as far as I recall.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Qing Nu let out a small laugh.


    ¡°Now you tell me, what else do I like besides roasted fish?¡±


    ¡°Alchemy, identifying medicinal ingredients, collecting Good Deed Points, your younger siblings¡­ Those are all I can recall.¡±

    With each point Chen Mobai listed, Qing Nu¡¯s eyes sparkled brighter, all until he mentioned ¡°younger siblings¡±.


    In an instant, the light in her eyes faded, and she looked lost in thought.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for bringing up your painful past.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s all in the past.¡±


    After that, a silence fell between the two of them.

 Chapter 518 - Chapter 518: Chapter 354: You Have Already Tried Your Best_3

    Chapter 518: Chapter 354: You Have Already Tried Your Best_3


    Outside the Elixir Refining Room.


    The gray-green bird perched on the tree held a hint of gloom in its yellow-bean-sized eyes.


    Below its feet, on one of the tree branches, a petite black snake coiled around the twig, its pure gaze locked on the bird above. Suddenly, it stuck out its red tongue and opened its snake mouth, aiming for the bird¡¯s neck.


    But the bird, with its delicate claws lifted, moved so quickly it seemed to leave afterimages. In an instant, it pressed down on the snake¡¯s vulnerable spot, pinning it to the twig, immobilizing it.


    ¡°Sister, I¡¯m sorry for upsetting you. However, I¡¯ve resolved the issue of the Twofold Divine Technique; I believe you¡¯d be happy with this news.¡±


    Kong Feichen, transformed into a bird perched on the tree, was looking at Qing Nu and the bothersome Chen Mobai inside the Elixir Refining Room. He muttered to himself.


    He lifted his claw, allowing the pretending-to-be-dead Little Black Snake to take a breath of relief.


    After taking another look at the petite snake and then Chen Mobai, an idea formed in Kong Feichen¡¯s mind.


    ¡°I¡¯ll come back and keep you company later.¡±


    Early the next day, Chen Mobai, with his impending duel with Taishi Shu on his mind, bid Qing Nu farewell and left the Elixir Refining Room.


    ¡°Hmm, I¡¯ll wait for your return.¡±


    Qing Nu was sitting by the side of the sand furnace; controlling the temperature of the Spiritual Fire with one hand while using the other to gently wave at Chen Mobai.


    The Island in the lake.


    When Chen Mobai arrived, some students were already sparring on top of the ten lake stages.


    However, the moment he showed up, everyone shivered involuntarily; even a True Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment phase who was concentrating on casting a spell almost failed because of this.


    Chen Mobai chose an empty hexagonal stage and gradually walked in.


    ¡°President, do you want to watch the video of Taishi Shu¡¯s duel from yesterday? Her Yuan Magnetic Force form the Six Controlling Meridians is quite powerful; even Zong Zi lost to her.¡±


    On the Platform of Dancing Instrument Dao Institute, Zhuang Jialan whispered this secret information to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°No need, I¡¯m already on the stage, and she¡¯s preparing to go down the stage.¡±


    Chen Mobai waved his hand towards the platform where his own Daoist Academy was and expressed his gratitude to Zhuang Jialan. He then saw Taishi Shu, who was at the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, stepping into empty space. Her tall figure descended lightly onto the surface of the lake, not causing a single ripple.


    ¡°Your academy¡¯s students went too far yesterday. Isn¡¯t a duel meant to stop when one makes their point?¡±


    After landing in front of Chen Mobai, Taishi Shu made a slightly annoyed remark.


    ¡°What?¡±


    Chen Mobai, with a perplexed expression, looked up at the Platform of Dancing Instrument Dao Institute. Zhongli Tianyu puffed out his chest and pointed at himself and then at Nangong Xiu.


    With the Void Spirit Eye activated, he could see through the shield of the platform and noticed Nangong Xiu, with a swollen face and hair and eyebrows scorched and standing on end, sitting in a corner emitting the scent of burning and green smoke.


    ¡°After defeating you, I¡¯ll talk to them and ensure that they avoid the face in future duels.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately apologized to Taishi Shu, but this remark made Taishi Shu so angry that her chest swelled.


    ¡°Do you really believe you are bound to win?¡±


    Taishi Shu shouted angrily. Although she was a woman, she possessed a boldness not inferior to men.


    Even if she knew she had little chance of winning, she wanted to display the demeanor and honor of the chief disciple of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute today.


    A strong Yuan Magnetic Force exploded from her body, and then streaks of pitch-black iron fell from the sky, shaping themselves into a body-hugging armor around her limbs and front and back torso.


    With a ¡°thud¡±!


    Using the Yuan Magnetic Force coupled with the power of the Magic Artifact, Taishi Shu unleashed a powerful punch towards Chen Mobai. This was her strongest punch, honed over an entire day and night since defeating Zong Zi.


    This punch encapsulated all her rage, unwillingness, diligence, and desire!


    With her at the center, the water from the entire stage and the three nearby stages began to rise, forming numerous waves, like a flood bursting out or a sea inverting.


    The terrifying atmosphere of a natural disaster was depicted through her Yuan Magnetic Fist.


    Just with this punch alone, even the ten graduated Foundation Establishment Completers on the Foundation List had to use their trump cards to dare to receive it head-on.


    Even Sun Daoji was thinking about avoiding her initial momentum and waiting until Taishi Shu was exhausted.


    However, against the terrifying punch that resembled a violent wave, Chen Mobai merely extended a single finger.


    He lifted his right hand and, amidst the flickering sparks, pointed with his index finger.


    It landed right in the center of Taishi Shu¡¯s fist, which was covered in pitch-black iron.


    Subsequently, green sparks spread from Chen Mobai¡¯s fingertip, running all over Taishi Shu.


    The pitch-black armor, which was adhered to her body with Yuan Magnetic Force, disintegrated swiftly, like it had been demagnetized, once again turning into blocks of pitch-black iron that fell into the lake.


    Amid the splashes of water,


    The lake water lifted by Yuan Magnetic Force just reached Chen Mobai¡¯s side when it seemed to lose all strength, splattering into countless droplets.


    Yet not a single drop splashed onto Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Why? My diligent cultivation and integration of Yuan Magnetic Force despite my physique¡¯s resistance¡­ they are not even worth a single finger of yours!¡±


    Taishi Shu couldn¡¯t hold back any longer. If she had lost to Lan Haitian or Wenren Xuewei, she could accept it.


    Because they had been cultivating for longer than she had.


    But losing to Chen Mobai, who was younger than her and who had crushed her without giving her a chance to fight back, was something Taishi Shu, always prideful and considered the top genius among her peers, could not accept.


    ¡°You¡¯re already very powerful, don¡¯t doubt yourself.¡±


    In response, Chen Mobai only said this.


    ¡°However powerful, it¡¯s still nothing compared to just a single finger of yours.¡±


    ¡°I can see that you¡¯ve been working hard. I know the pain of defeat, but as long as you don¡¯t compare yourself to me, you¡¯re still the top among your peers.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After comforting her with this remark, Chen Mobai, worried about Qing Nu¡¯s medicinal concoction, sent a signal to the Platform of the Dancing Instrument Dao Institute and left once again.


    The duel between the two of them lasted only an instant.


    When Chen Mobai first arrived, the duelists on the other stages hadn¡¯t even finished their matches.


    But by now, they had all stopped their spells mid-action, stunned, staring at Chen Mobai¡¯s retreating figure.


    So powerful, so dazzling!

 Chapter 519 - Chapter 519: Chapter 355 Guidance Book_1

    Chapter 519: Chapter 355 Guidance Book_1


    After the day of sparring ended, Qi Huanzhi was about to lead the members of Kunpeng Daoist Academy to leave.


    ¡°Do you have some time?¡±


    The voice of Lou Fengcheng suddenly came into his ear. Qi Huanzhi emotionlessly looked toward the platform where the Repairing Heaven Institute was located, where Lou Fengcheng gave him a slight smile.


    After some thought and looking at the somewhat dazed Taishi Shu next to him, Qi Huanzhi nodded his head.


    Night time.


    The Great Ye Island where the Kunpeng Daoist Academy was located, welcomed the arrival of Lou Fengcheng and his companion, Master Ling Dao.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    Qi Huanzhi stood at the top of the highest island of the Great Ye Island, calmly watching the two arriving figures, and asked his question.


    ¡°Please wait for a moment, I also invited others.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng played coy, while Qi Huanzhi also didn¡¯t say much more and closed his eyes to wait.


    [This man¡¯s state of mind truly lives up to his reputation, no wonder he was able to cultivate the Six Mastery Enlightenment Part.]


    This was Ling Dao Master¡¯s first direct interaction with Qi Huanzhi. This man, after Lan Haitian, was the most famous chief of Kunpeng Daoist Academy, a genius who was just one step away from cultivating into a Gold Core Domain. Lou Fengcheng was five years younger than Qi Huanzhi, but barely considered of the same generation. He only took the lead to sweep the other three great Daoist academies after Qi Huanzhi graduated.


    Not much later, another spiritual light shone, falling from above the lake surface to in front of the three men.


    ¡°Sorry for being late.¡±


    Tao Mingqing from the Primordial Elemental Academy said with an apologetic face.


    ¡°No, we arrived early.¡±


    The Primordial Elemental Academy and the Repairing Heaven Institute have a very good relationship, and their current principal, Monk Qing Ping, was actually transferred from the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Tao Mingqing was from the same generation as Qi Huanzhi, but he was unremarkable in his early foundation stage. However, he made a breakthrough after graduation, and he currently ranks even higher than Lou Fengcheng on the Foundation List.


    ¡°Who else is there?¡±


    Qi Huanzhi, who already guessed why Lou Fengcheng invited them here, asked directly.


    ¡°Apart from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, I invited everyone I could.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of the Dance Tool Dao Academy finding out?¡±


    A loud voice accompanied by the sound of a monstrous beast treading on waves resonated, Lu Qiulong riding his Extremely Wicked Tiger landed on the cliff, still holding a skewered meat in his hand and eating enthusiastically with oil smeared all over his mouth.


    ¡°Considering his personality, he might even be pleased that we are thinking about how to deal with him in our meeting.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng spoke, he called these people over today to brainstorm on how they could suppress the already seemingly invincible Chen Mobai.


    ¡°The chief from your academy is up next, what are you planning?¡±


    Lu Qiulong tossed the meat he had partially consumed into the mouth of his mount, the Extremely Wicked Tiger, wiped the oil stains on his hand with its soft fur, and jumped down beside Qi Huanzhi.


    The True Spiritual Academy split from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy. After Lan Haitian retired, Lu Qiulong replaced his position in the Repairing Heaven Group with the push of the Kunpeng Daoist Academy behind him.


    ¡°Junior Brother Ling is definitely not his match, but we absolutely can¡¯t afford to be defeated with one move without probing anything out like we did today.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng no longer hid anything and directly answered Lu Qiulong¡¯s question, expressing his plans.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to wait for people from other academies?¡±


    Suddenly, a question from Qi Huanzhi arose.


    If he had invited all except those from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, then there should still be Wenren Xuewei of Jumang Daoist Academy, Pei Qingshuang, and Xia Hou Weihuan.


    Compared to the people present, these three might be more important.


    ¡°Wenren Xuewei from Jumang Daoist Academy subtly refused, so did Pei Qingshuang, they are both too confident.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng shook his head regretfully, sometimes women care more about face than men.


    ¡°What about Xiahou Weihuan, he should be the person who most wants to defeat him.¡±


    Tao Mingqing asked in surprise.


    At some point, they stopped calling Chen Mobai by his name and instead referred to him as ¡°that person¡±.


    ¡°He is treating Sima Xingyu¡¯s injuries, but he fully supports our actions.¡±


    As Lou Fengcheng spoke, he took out his phone and made a video call.


    Sometime later, Xiahou Weihuan appeared on the screen.


    He was sitting behind Sima Xingyu with one hand pressing on his chest, gentle pure yang spiritual energy flowing into him, suppressing the power of thunder and lightning that remained in his body.


    No wonder he was unable to leave.


    ¡°How is Brother Sima¡¯s injury?¡±


    Lou Fengcheng asked with pretended concern.


    Xiahou Weihuan nodded lightly, indicating that he had gotten it under control and in the process of healing Sima Xingyu, surmised that Chen Mobai¡¯s thunder method was the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    ¡°His thunder method has undoubtedly reached the Rank-3 level, Yi Wood is yin, if you want to counter it, it¡¯s best to prepare a Rank-3 magic artifact with Geng Metal attribute.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Geng Metal is Yang Metal, which just happens to restrain Yi Wood.


    After Xiahou Weihuan finished speaking, everyone fell silent.


    ¡°I have already asked Teacher Liu who accompanied us this time to communicate with the academy¡¯s headquarters, but even if we deployed a flying artifact overnight, it would still take at least two days to deliver from Xi Xuan Cave Heaven to this Lin Wu Cave Heaven.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng sighed ruefully. If Ling Dao had a Rank-3 magic artifact at his disposal tomorrow, they might be able to force out Chen Mobai¡¯s famous sword light, thereby discovering more information for their subsequent moves.


    ¡°Are you eyeing my Big Light Shield?¡±

 Chapter 520 - Chapter 520: Chapter 355: Guidance Book_2

    Chapter 520: Chapter 355: Guidance Book_2


    At this time, Qi Huanzhi finally realized why Lou Fengcheng would approach him, and specifically chose his place for their meeting.


    ¡°Brother Qi¡¯s Great Light Shield could provide a Rank-3 Defensive Magic Artifact. Even though it might not be the most suitable, if it happens to be in the hand of Junior Brother Ling tomorrow, it could compel that person to show more of his abilities, at least enough to make clear the limit of his Thunder method. This could lay a solid foundation for Brother Lu¡¯s subsequent spar with that person.¡±


    Qi Huanzhi¡¯s eyes flickered slightly at Lou Fengcheng¡¯s words.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to worry for me. With my Taibai Golden Tiger Bloodline, I could resist that Thunder method. If he wants to beat me, he has to draw his sword.¡±


    Lu Qiulong seemed unconcerned, but, fearing that Qi Huanzhi might be affected, he spoke deliberately.


    ¡°My Great Light Shield will not be touched by a mediocre.¡±


    Qi Huanzhi said something that caused Lou Fengcheng and Master Ling¡¯s facial expressions to subtly change. Just as they thought they would part on bad terms, the former suddenly spread the fingers of his right hand.


    A round of light, like the sun, brightened his palm and illuminated the lake¡¯s surface in the night, driving away the surrounding darkness and the cold wave.


    ¡°Attack me with all your might, I want to see your strength.¡±


    Qi Huanzhi said calmly to Master Ling, who was momentarily taken aback before his eyes brightened and his aura suddenly increased, breaking through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment in a short time.


    ¡°Tsk, worthy of being the Chief Cultivator.¡±


    Lu Qiulong felt the fluctuation of Master Ling¡¯s spiritual power at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment and he couldn¡¯t help but sound a little sour.


    He had graduated almost ten years ago and had only broken through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment in the last two years. Although he was considered to be at the Peak of Foundation Establishment with the help of his companion beast, he had not actually entered the circle of Perfection Foundation Establishment Cultivators.


    Those in the upper classes of the Immortal Gate don¡¯t care about your combat power.


    What¡¯s the use of being able to fight? Can you challenge someone higher ranked?


    Although the Immortal Gate emphasizes equality for all beings, in fact, everyone knows that there is a distinct difference in status between each Realm.


    Only those who have high realms are everything.


    Because of this, until Lu Qiulong reaches Perfection in Foundation Establishment, he doesn¡¯t even consider joining the Sky Mend faction.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you invite that guy, Ding Chundzhi?¡±


    As Qi Huanzhi and Master Ling were engaged in a contest, Tao Mingqing suddenly asked Lou Fengcheng this question.


    ¡°He said he didn¡¯t want to get involved and declined me.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lu Qiulong couldn¡¯t help but sneer. He was somewhat dismissive of the only person on the Foundation List who had deliberately conceded.


    ¡­


    ¡°This is a great opportunity, if you guys team up with Lou Fengcheng and others, no matter how strong that person is, he will certainly lose under the aim of all the top True Cultivators at the Daoist Academy.¡±


    In the pavilion on the lake of Wood God Island, Ding Chundzhi was sipping tea brewed by Wenren Xuewei and gave an ambiguous suggestion.


    ¡°You should know that our Jumang Daoist Academy and Dance Tool Dao Academy have been brother academies since our foundation. Moreover, that person¡¯s mentor is Mr. Che, who gave our Jumang Daoist Academy eighteen Identityless Puppets.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei shook her head gently, and poured another cup of tea for Pei Qingshuang beside her.


    ¡°Sister Pei could go, couldn¡¯t she?¡±


    Ding Chundzhi asked again. Although Jumang and Dance Tool get along well, they have no relationship with the Shanhai Daoist Academy.


    ¡°I can defeat him fairly.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang said coldly. Being a Sword Cultivator that even Lan Haitian was reluctant to fight, her combat capability was considered the pinnacle of the Immortal Gate¡¯s Foundation Establishment Cultivators.


    ¡°It seems like you really want to see that person defeated?¡±


    Wenren Xuewei looked at Ding Chundzhi and asked, implying something.


    ¡°After all, Guanming got hurt due to backlash, I am a little upset.¡±


    Ding Chundzhi said frankly, pointing to the sword scar that was about to heal and disappear above his eyelid.


    The scar left by Pei Qingshuang was gone, only the one left by Chen Mobai remained.


    ¡°By entrusting the task of observing fate to me, I will handle this matter and give you a satisfactory outcome.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei spoke with a smile. Her confident manner caught Ding Chundzhi¡¯s eye.


    It¡¯s a pity I can¡¯t read her fate.


    ¡°That¡¯s not necessary. I only received the Dalit Flower. Your academy and Sister Wenren don¡¯t owe me anything. Just proceed with our normal exchanges.¡±


    Regardless, Ding Chundzhi wasn¡¯t daring enough to accept her offer, for fear that Chen Mobai would truly misunderstand and think that he had Wenren Xuewei helping him freshen up.


    ¡°You¡­your problem is that you¡¯re too timid.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang saw that Ding Chundzhi was like this and couldn¡¯t help but hum indifferently.


    In response, Ding Chundzhi just smiled faintly without responding, simply sipping his tea.


    ¡­


    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll be going.¡±


    The third day, Chen Mobai bade goodbye to Qing Nu again and left the Elixir Refining Room.


    ¡°Remember to bring me back some Vegetable Dumplings from the East Street Small Restaurant on Wood God Island.¡±


    Qing Nu was refining medicine, but suddenly seemed to remember something, turned her head and shouted towards Chen Mobai¡¯s retreating figure.


    ¡°Sure!¡±


    Chen Mobai waved his right hand and turned the corner at the end of the road without looking back, disappearing from Qing Nu¡¯s view.


    The little grey bird saw this and immediately took Xiao Hei, the Little Black Snake, and followed from behind by flying.

    On the lake island.


    After arriving this time, Chen Mobai went to the platform of the Dance Instrument Daoist Academy first.


    ¡°How is the score now?¡±


    ¡°Our academy is at the top of the list, the only one with double digits.¡±


    Bian Jingchun said proudly. Although it seems easy to gain points, in reality, due to deductions for team losses, only the Four Great Daoist Academies and the two Taiyuan Chunyang academies are positive because of their high overall quality of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

 Chapter 521 - Chapter 521: Chapter 355 Guidance Book_3

    Chapter 521: Chapter 355 Guidance Book_3


    Moreover, the Spirit Treasure Academy and Mountain Sea Academy both had zero points.


    The other six major academies were in the negatives, making the invited graduates who were there to maintain order lose face.


    But even they struggled to gain points.


    Because apart from Bian Jingchun and other Rank 9 Foundation Establishment cultivators, Taishi Shu and other chiefs of major Daoist Academies could suppress them in the fight. Even Zhongli Tianyu, during the two days of matches, won four rounds consecutively, and as he wished, assumed the title of ¡°Little Thunder Emperor¡± and ¡°The next Chief of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy¡±.


    The reason why the Spirit Treasure Academy and Mountain Sea Academy had no negative points was mainly because every person from the Spirit Treasure Academy had received a top-tier Rank-2 magic artifact to bolster their chances before they came over.


    As for the Mountain Sea Academy, all their students were sword cultivators, and even though they were low in their realm, their combat power was truly astonishing.


    Currently in the group points, Dance Tool Dao Academy remained 10 points ahead from the remaining thirteen schools.


    Following them was the Kunpeng Daoist Institute with 7 points, Repairing Heaven and Jumang Institutes each had 5 points.


    The Primordial Elemental Academy had 3 points while Pure Yang Academy had 2 points, which was also quite good.


    ¡°They all know that they can¡¯t compete with our Dance Tools Dao Academy in terms of group points, so they don¡¯t deliberately pick weaker opponents for the sake of points. They all try their best to spar with individuals of similar realms, which can be considered a successful and meaningful result of this offline exchange.¡±


    Bian Jingchun opened her mouth to speak, and at this time, the final pair of opponents on the lake stage below had also determined a winner.


    After Chen Mobai arrived, no more true cultivator with established foundations appeared, all of them were awaiting his match with Master Ling Dao today.


    Surprisingly, after all ten lake stages were cleared, Master Ling Dao voluntarily stepped into the battlefield first.


    ¡°I am going to score 1 more point.¡±


    Chen Mobai said to the multitude of Dance Tool Daoist Academy individuals and then gently landed on the surface of the lake.


    ¡°Zong Zi and Taishi Shu are no match for me.¡±


    Master Ling Dao started speaking first, indicating that he was the strongest among the three major Daoist Academies.


    ¡°Is there a difference?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai displayed a strange expression.


    If it came to being the leader, four major academies would be taken into consideration. As long as he was present, the strongest would have to be Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Then let me show you the difference between me and them!¡±


    While Ling Dao was talking, he stretched out his right hand towards Chen Mobai. Then, golden lines began to outline the palm of his hand, instantly forming an image of Chen Mobai, which he then quickly grasped.


    ¡°Guidance Book!¡±


    Upon seeing this, Bian Jingchun and the rest on the Stage of Dance Tools Institute, their expressions turned a bit solemn.


    This was the most mysterious Skill of Divinity Transformation from the Immortal Gate, famous for its slogan: ¡°controlling the universe within the span of a finger.¡±


    ¡°I remember that when using this technique against an opponent, you have to find their flaws. So, have you found my flaws?¡±


    Chen Mobai was quite familiar with the seven magic methods of the Immortal Gate. Looking at the image that Master Ling Dao had created, he was genuinely curious.


    ¡°Won¡¯t you know if you try?¡±


    As Ling Dao spoke, a series of golden lines suddenly appeared in his right eye. A three-dimensional model of Chen Mobai seemed to emerge in his pupils, as if converting all the information about his opponent into model data.


    Shhh!


    A bluish dazzling electrical light suddenly burst from Chen Mobai¡¯s right index finger, like a laser it aimed at Master Ling Dao¡¯s left shoulder.


    With a sizzling sound!


    A golden shield appeared, blocking this Yi Wood¡¯s Divine Thunder. The electric essence kept dissolving with the power of light, throwing out intermittent bright radiance.


    ¡°Oh, a Rank-3 defensive magic weapon.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know that this Big Light Shield belonged to Qi Huanzhi, he did know that for an established cultivator, utilizing a Rank-3 magic weapon would consume a lot of spiritual power. Even if he could use his perfect longevity spiritual power to control the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirrors, it could only be used about a dozen times.


    So, while his record of defeating enemies in one strike was broken, Chen Mobai¡¯s face remained calm. He raised his left hand so that his five fingers pointed towards the sky.


    Rumble!


    Thunder roared in a clear sky; bluish dazzling electricity began to form on his fingertips, converging into a thunderbolt as thick as an arm, seemingly ready to strike at Ling Dao.


    Suddenly!


    Ling Dao suddenly pulled off a phantom, momentarily closing the previous distance between him and Chen Mobai.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    This speed even surprised Lu Qiulong. Last night, after Ling Dao passed Qi Huanzhi¡¯s test, he shared his experience of fighting with Chen Mobai in Little Red Sky and indicated that the latter¡¯s speed and physical strength were his weak points. If he could exploit these two areas, he might be able to create a miracle.


    That very night, Lu Qiulong had a trial match with Ling Dao, even then his speed was not so fast.


    Ling Dao had made such progress in just one night that it was surprising.


    As expected from the chief of the Repairing Heaven Institute, if Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t present, he might have become the strongest person in their generation, just like Qi Huanzhi and Lou Fengcheng.

    Chen Mobai was a bit surprised. He raised his right hand; the thunderlight was already formed, but couldn¡¯t be unleashed.


    Because Ling Dao¡¯s left hand landed on his neck.


    Chen Mobai loosened the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± on his wrist, turning it into a wisp of smoke, like a soft sword cutting between his neck and Ling Dao¡¯s palm.


    At the same time, he swung his right wrist, and the huge thunderbolt came crashing down fiercely at Ling Dao in front of him.


    In the midst of the thunderous roar, Big Light Shield shone golden once again, blocking the impact of this thunder method completely.

 Chapter 522 - Chapter 522: Chapter 355 Guidance Book_4

    Chapter 522: Chapter 355 Guidance Book_4


    Meanwhile, the three-dimensional human figure in Ling Daoshi¡¯s right eye, which represented Chen Mobai, transformed from a simple sketch to something more detailed. It seemed as though he had obtained some vital intelligence from their exchange in the battle.


    The power of the Guidance Book would continue to strengthen with the progress of battle.


    However, it took an extreme toil on a cultivator¡¯s Divine Sense and computational abilities.


    In preparation for dealing with Chen Mobai, Ling Daoshi had thrown all caution to the wind from the start just to gather enough information. It was precisely this point that swayed Qi Huanzhi and Lu Qiulong¡¯s attitude last night.


    In a split second, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes sparkled crystal clear as he saw through Ling Daoshi¡¯s situation.


    The Guidance Book was exhausting his Divine Sense, while his Spiritual Power was constantly being drained to sustain the Big Light Shield, maintaining it at full power.


    Moreover, under the coordination of the Guidance Book, all his internal energy was harmoniously integrated, attaining a state of super-extreme performance where the sum was greater than its parts.


    Despite being only at the Foundation Establishment eight level, if Ling Daoshi, in his current state, were to battle against Bian Jingchun¡¯s trio without considering the True Dragon Ding, he would have a likely chance of winning more than half the time.


    ¡°Oh, are you looking for my intelligence?¡±


    Chen Mobai appeared to understand the moment his Void Spirit Eye unveiled Ling Daoshi¡¯s true and apparent statuses. He now had an inkling of why Ling Daoshi was striving so desperately.


    Is he paving the way for the opponents who will follow?


    With a sudden sound, the air was torn apart by the super-extreme state of Ling Daoshi. He split into three figures and attacked Chen Mobai from three directions.


    ¡°In comparison, speed is indeed my shortcoming.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye could keep track of Ling Daoshi¡¯s movements, his body was unable to keep up.


    But for him, as long as his eyes could keep track, it was enough.


    Within the Sea of Knowledge at his Purple Mansion, two leaves of the jade-green parasol tree fell, transforming into two invisible Divine Slashes that sprang forth from his gaze.


    Ding Chundzhi¡¯s eyes widened as he watched this scene intently.


    The three figures of Ling Daoshi suddenly quivered, and the ones on the left and right vanished into thin air.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes moved again, and two more Divine Slashes sprang forth from his eyes. The Big Light Shield could not defend against the Divine Sense Attack.


    But Ling Daoshi seemed to have a Magic Artifact that could protect his mind. His Divine Slashes had indeed struck into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, yet within a blink of an eye, it was suppressed.


    However, taking advantage of Ling Daoshi¡¯s momentary stiffness, Chen Mobai formed a thunder ball the size of a fist in his palm, bypassed the Big Light Shield, and pressed it on Ling DaoShi¡¯s right shoulder.


    With a loud bang, Ling Daoshi was sent flying backwards,


    Driven by the power of the Guidance Book, he seemed to abandon all emotions outside of the fight. He ignored his bloody and mangled shoulder as if he felt no pain, exhausting all his spiritual power and Divine Sense in a desperate outburst even discarding the Big Light Shield just to muster enough spiritual power to land his final strike on Chen Mobai.


    The airborne Ling Daoshi suddenly split into five figures and unleashed five different palm techniques. Like surging waves, flames, hurricanes, slashing blades and radiant swords, the forces of different Five Elements elements roared towards Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Using the Five Elements for the final probing, trying to determine exactly which attribute will suppress him.¡±


    The golden lines in Ling Daoshi¡¯s right eye became more tangible, as if he had glimpsed Chen Mobai¡¯s weaknesses.


    ¡°Very well, I admit you are different from the other two chiefs.¡±

    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show admiration for Ling Daoshi.


    Then, to the disbelief of everyone present, he pointed his right hand to the sky, fingers spread.


    One could see that five different colored Sword Lights representing the Five Elements burst from Chen Mobai¡¯s fingertips, and as per the attributes of the Five Elements, they countered and nullified Ling Daoshi¡¯s Five Thunderous Palms, which were evolved from the Guidance Book.


    When the final palm was defeated, Ling Daoshi had been utterly depleted by the Guidance Book. He fell limply, his face expressionless as he sank into the bottom of the lake.


    That guy¡­ he¡¯s a monster!

 Chapter 523 - Chapter 523: Chapter 356: Seeing Kong Feichen Again_1

    Chapter 523: Chapter 356: Seeing Kong Feichen Again_1


    ¡°You should be proud since you forced me to draw my sword. You have performed brilliantly.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the Daoist master who had fallen into the lake and gently said.


    This duel was set up to force him to reveal his tactics beyond the Thunder method.


    Theoretically, the Sword Light Shapeshifting is less noticeable than the ultimate Sword Sha.


    After all, there are genius swordsmen who can practice multiple sword techniques simultaneously, mastering all of them.


    When most people saw Chen Mobai release the Five Element Sword Light for the first time, they did not associate it with ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting¡±. The concept of one sword giving birth to countless methods is too obscure, and only Core Formation sword cultivators in immortal world would actively tap into this knowledge.


    ¡°Could he be practicing five kinds of sword techniques, each embodying one of the Five Elements, to avoid weaknesses being exploited?¡±


    Lao Fencheng looked at the scene and muttered to himself.


    ¡°Could he, like Master Qing Ping, primarily focus on the Five Elements Cultivation at the Foundation Building Realm?¡±


    Upon hearing Lao Fengcheng¡¯s speculation, Tao Mingqing pondered for a moment but came up with no answer.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. His Rank-3 Thunder method is wood attribute. Yet, according to the news from Red Misty Cloud Silk, as well as his earlier rampage in the Little Red Sky, he seems to follow the Pure Yang Scroll. Now he¡¯s demonstrating Five Element Sword Light, I¡¯m not sure what to believe.


    ¡°I need more information to find his flaws.¡±


    After hearing Tao Mingqing¡¯s words, Lou Fengcheng¡¯s golden three-dimensional figure in his right pupil dissipated, and he looked at Lu Qiulong who looked serious not far away.


    ¡°Meet me at the old place tonight. I¡¯ll share the information I gained from this battle with you. His Yi Wood Divine Thunder was countered by Extremely Wicked Tiger. I hope you can force out his deeper level of swordsmanship.¡±


    While Lou Fengcheng and Lu Qiulong were exchanging glances, a stream of Red Misty Cloud Silk suddenly rose before him.


    ¡°Next.¡±


    After saying these words, Chen Mobai, using his own Red Misty Cloud Silk, gently lifted a drenched figure from the lake and placed him on the platform of the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    The Daoist master was a respectable opponent, so he fished him out of the lake and sent him back up.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng glanced at the Daoist master who was completely exhausted from invoking the ¡°Guidance Book¡±, and cupped his hands towards Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I enjoyed the fight, at least it warmed me up. Also, Senior Lou, do you also practice the ¡®Guidance Book¡¯? ¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly asked. Lou Fengcheng nodded slightly in a reserved manner.


    ¡°Great, I hope when I face you, I won¡¯t have to suppress myself anymore.¡±


    Hearing these words from Chen Mobai, the Daoist master, who was nearly depleted of his spiritual power and divine sense, and needed people¡¯s help to sit up, couldn¡¯t help but cough violently.


    ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong, it¡¯s not what you think. You have done very well. You¡¯re the first to make me draw my sword in this fight; you should be proud.¡±


    Chen Mobai comforted the Daoist master, both he and Taishi Shu represented the future of the Immortal World.


    They can¡¯t let their belief be troubled by the tragic defeat at his hands.


    And indeed, the Daoist master did perform remarkably well, exceeding everyone¡¯s expectations.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but praise him sincerely.


    In response, the Daoist master, who had no strength left even to speak, just weakly looked at Chen Mobai without shifting his gaze, as if he wanted to imprint the image of the handsome young man before him deeply in his memory.


    ¡°I hope you don¡¯t reveal too much of your abilities when facing Wenren Xuewei, otherwise, you¡¯ll likely lose under my ¡®Guidance Book¡¯.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng said something that caused Chen Mobai to glance at him.


    ¡°Senior Lou, do you think Wenren Xuewei can¡¯t beat me?¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s just that whether you win or lose, our duel is already set, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    This rhetorical question made Chen Mobai laugh out loud; he nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Correct, no matter what, I have to have a bout with you. I¡¯m looking forward to your ¡®Guidance Book¡¯!¡±


    After exchanging greetings, Chen Mobai turned around and left, returning to his team¡¯s platform.


    ¡°As expected of the president, you decisively defeated the opponent.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan clapped her hands in excitement as she caught sight of him.


    ¡°Just now that Five Element Sword Light¡­¡±


    Zhajianbai, however, still looked incredulous. As an exceptional talent in the Sword Control Department, he had only touched the threshold of the Sword Rainbow Fission till now.


    But Chen Mobai had already mastered four additional kinds of Sword Light besides the fire one.


    This kind of swordsmanship talent made Zhajianbai feel like mediocre talent in comparison.


    ¡°There is a trick, once you master Sword Light, I¡¯ll teach you.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t bear to let down Zhajianbai. After all, he¡¯s really a Sword Cultivation Genius, who painstakingly practices at every realm of swordsmanship. Unlike him, Chen Mobai just received everything through Empowerment without any effort or diligence.


    ¡°Yes, president, I must strive to master Sword Light.¡±


    But at this point, Zhajianbai had already regarded Chen Mobai, second only to Zuo Gong, as a swordsmanship giant. Upon hearing that he was willing to impart his knowledge, he felt like he was being taught by an elder, with a face full of awe and eagerness to learn.


    ¡°By the way, do you know the way to the East Street Small Restaurant?¡±


    At this time, seeing the regular exchanges and challenges restart on the platform over the lake, Chen Mobai felt that he had fulfilled his duties as the leader of the Dance Tool Dao Academy by staying here for about fifteen minutes. He then asked the most important question that brought him here.

 Chapter 524 - Chapter 524: Chapter 356: Seeing Kong Feichen Again_2

    Chapter 524: Chapter 356: Seeing Kong Feichen Again_2


    ¡°Land on the east bank, walk straight for two kilometers, then turn right into a tree-lined path, go through it and then turn left for two hundred meters, and you will see the archway of East Street. The small cafeteria is at the end of the street¡­¡±


    It was precisely pointed out by Bian Jingchun, who had been taken around by Song Yuexin.


    ¡°Thanks, I¡¯ll go ahead. I¡¯m leaving this place to you.¡±


    After getting the address, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t stay there.


    ¡°President, here are some videos of your next few opponents sparring in the last couple of days. I¡¯ll forward them to you. Take a look when you have time.¡±


    Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhuang Jialan promptly took out her phone and forwarded the videos she had captured and collected to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I appreciate it. I¡¯ll bring you the ¡®Vegetable Balls¡¯ from the small cafeteria tomorrow morning. They¡¯re said to be quite delicious.¡±


    After waving to the people of the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai left the Branch Platform riding his ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯, leaving the island amidst the awed gazes of many Foundation Establishment True Cultivators in the Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Let¡¯s quickly sort out today¡¯s quota then, and then go back early to discuss tomorrow¡¯s tactics.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai leave, Lou Fengcheng sent a message to Qi Huanzhi, Tao Mingqing and the others, then descended first.


    Standing on the rectangular ring, no one dared to stand opposite him.


    So he could only choose his opponent.


    Lou Fengcheng¡¯s gaze swept back and forth several times over the trio from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, but ultimately, he felt that he should not choose an evenly matched opponent for now. Although he was confident of victory, it was also possible for him to reveal his trump cards.


    These three graduates from the Dance Tool Dao Academy were undoubtedly meant to gather information on their competition for Chen Mobai.


    After made up his mind, Lou Fengcheng didn¡¯t stoop to choosing a weaker opponent. He chose a Foundation Establishment Seventh Level graduate from the Five Thunder Law School.


    This specialist was in Thunder Law. It was a good way to adapt in advance.


    Zhuang Jialan on the platform watched their duel and took out her phone to film once again.


    ¡°Are Pei Qingshuang and Wen Ren Xuewei also quite good?¡±


    Chen Mobai, on his way back after buying vegetable balls, was watching the sparring videos sent to him by Zhuang Jialan. The opponents of Pei Qingshuang and Wen Ren Xuewei didn¡¯t even have the strength to fight back.


    Pei Qingshuang even didn¡¯t take out her sword, she simply used her fingers as swords, and the Sword Qi at the entrance stage of the Sword Dao Realm, easily defeated the Foundation Establishment Seventh Level leader of Tian Shu Academy.


    Especially for Wen Ren Xuewei, all those who stood in her way couldn¡¯t even move under Lasting Spring Cultivation, let alone force out her real strength.


    However, Chen Mobai also noticed that the opponents of these two girls weren¡¯t serious.


    It¡¯s not to say that they took it easy, but they didn¡¯t push Chen Mobai to the limit like Ling Dao did, knowing they could not beat him, and forcing him to reveal something other than Thunder Method.


    The opponents of Pei Qingshuang and Wen Ren Xuewei tried a few moves, rolled out all their Techniques,they felt they couldn¡¯t win, they didn¡¯t try harder, they just surrendered without a fight.


    Comparing like this, why does he feel like he is against the world?


    Chen Mobai reflected on his recent actions and indeed, it seemed a bit hateful.


    But that¡¯s okay.


    It¡¯s just a fight in the Immortal Cultivation world, at most embarrassing, it wouldn¡¯t involve anyone¡¯s life.


    If this were in the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai definitely would not have been so high-profile, as cultivators there would really kill when they got vicious.


    Walking along the tree-lined path, eating vegetable balls and about to flip through the next sparring video of Qi Huanzhi, a clear chirping of a bird rang out above him.


    Chen Mobai pretended not to hear it.


    There were quite a few birds on this island. When he was with Qing Nu, they often saw gray-green sparrows circling on the tree outside the entrance.


    Having seen a lot of them, he had habitually ignored them.


    However, the chirping sounds of the bird suddenly became more and more urgent, and the pitch became sharper, as if it was being hunted.


    Chen Mobai slightly furrowed his brows, quickened his pace, and planned to leave the tree-lined path, avoiding this noisy sparrow.


    However, unexpectedly, the sound seemed to be going after him.


    Chen Mobai finally couldn¡¯t help it, he looked up and he was about to use some means with his Divine Sense, when he noticed something was wrong.


    The bird perched above caught a little black snake, and that bird seemed to be the one always staying at the entrance of the Elixir Refining Room.


    As Chen Mobai wondered, he suddenly locked eyes with the green beans-sized pupils of the little bird.


    A familiar wave of divine consciousness contacted him. Chen Mobai widened his eyes in disbelief.


    However, immediately afterwards, he seemed to have received some information. Frowning, he slowly nodded after a long while.


    Then, just like before, Chen Mobai started eating his vegetable balls and watching videos on his phone. But after leaving the shaded path, he did not go to the Elixir Refining Room but left Wood God Island. He turned the Red Misty Cloud Silk into a cloud boat, drifting alone over Wan Shui Lake.


    It wasn¡¯t until he had distanced himself substantially from Wood God Island and was almost back to Small Leaf Island that the ash-grey bird descended from the sky, clutching the little black snake.


    ¡°You dare show up in the Immortal Gate again, aren¡¯t you afraid I¡¯ll turn you in to the enforcement department for the reward?¡±


    Chen Mobai stared at the bird in front of him. If it weren¡¯t for the familiar divine consciousness fluctuation of Kong Feichen, he would never believe that this bird was Qing Nu¡¯s little brother.


    ¡°I¡¯m just a bird incarnation controlled by my God Seed. Even if you capture me, I would instantly destroy this God Seed without giving the Immortal Gate anything to gain.¡±


    Although the bird couldn¡¯t speak, the divine consciousness fluctuation enabled unobstructed communication between Kong Feichen and Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Why are you looking for me? Does Qing Nu know you¡¯re here?¡±


    ¡°My sister doesn¡¯t know. The reason I came is to tell her that the disaster of Yang Jing¡¯s Twofold Divine Technique has been resolved by the Devour God Technique. But I didn¡¯t know how to face her or how to broach the subject.¡±


    After Kong Feichen¡¯s divine consciousness finished speaking, it released the little black snake it had been holding onto. The snake landed on Chen Mobai¡¯s cloud boat and started slithering towards him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me this is Yang Jing?¡±


    Chen Mobai slightly furrowed his brow. With a flicker of divine consciousness, a white fog cage formed from the cloud mist, trapping the miniature slender black snake inside and preventing it from approaching.


    ¡°Yes, precisely speaking, it¡¯s the malicious part peeled off from Yang Jing¡¯s divine consciousness. I turned it into a real snake.¡±


    As Kong Feichen spoke, he suddenly spat out a green pill.


    ¡°Give this to my sister.¡±


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a pill that can break the prohibition planted in us when we were kids.¡±


    Chen Mobai had heard Kong Feichen talk about this before; they were used as spirit root research materials in a mysterious research institute when they were young. Although they were later rescued by some division of the Immortal Gate and placed in the orphanage in Red Sandstone City, they were cursed to never speak of this incident.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you give it to her yourself?¡±


    ¡°Because of Yang Jing and me, she had no choice but to join a mysterious branch of the Immortal Gate and voluntarily be monitored. Maybe she¡¯s been prohibited. The moment I contact her, that mysterious branch might discover.¡±


    ¡°The mysterious division you¡¯re talking about, it wouldn¡¯t happen to be the ¡®Mending Heaven¡¯ group?¡±,


    ¡°How do you know!¡±


    ¡°Lan Haitian wanted me to take his place as the leader of Team Six after his retirement, but I refused.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s nonchalant comment left Kong Feichen speechless for a moment.


    ¡°If you were to become the leader of the ¡®Mending Heaven¡¯ Group Six, couldn¡¯t you take care of my sister?¡±


    ¡°I am quite busy, you know, and I did not study hard for ten years to become a hired thug for the Immortal Gate.¡±


    The real reason was that Chen Mobai considered the fact that he needed to travel between the two worlds for a long time. If he were to truly join the Mending Heaven group, what would he do if he got an emergency assignment while he was in the Tianhe Realm?


    [Scumbag!]

    Kong Feichen cursed silently in his heart, but did not express it out loud in front of Chen Mobai since he still needed his help.


    ¡°I can¡¯t touch my sister. Send her this Prohibition Refining Pill under some pretence and tell her to stop investigating the matter from twenty years ago. I already know the full truth.¡±


    ¡°The truth? What is it?¡±


    Chen Mobai took the green pill but was vaguely curious about Kong Feichen¡¯s words.


    ¡°The mastermind behind our tragic childhood is one of the three hall masters of the Immortal Gate.¡±

 Chapter 525 - Chapter 525: Chapter 357 Devouring Heaven Serpent_1

    Chapter 525: Chapter 357 Devouring Heaven Serpent_1


    At the words of Kong Feichen, Chen Mobai¡¯s face changed.


    The three Hall Masters of the Immortal Gate, they are all Nascent Soul experts, and are all in the late stage of their Nascent Souls, even existing at the Perfection level.


    With the two Divinity Transformation Elders in hundreds of years of closed-door cultivation on this planet, they hold the most power and can even be considered the rulers of the thirty-six heavenly caves and seventy-two bless lands of the Immortal Gate which rules over three billion beings.


    ¡°I¡¯ll pretend I didn¡¯t hear what you just said, and I won¡¯t tell it to Qing Nu either.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and then slowly spoke.


    ¡°My sister being in a place like the Heaven Mending Group, surely wouldn¡¯t give up a chance to investigate the truth. If she ends up angering the highest authority in the Immortal Gate, even Tao Hua from the Jumang Daoist Academy, might not be able to protect her.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head at Kong Feichen¡¯s concerns.


    ¡°You clearly don¡¯t understand the strength of the four Daoist Academies. Of the fourteen Nascent Soul experts in the Immortal Gate, three belong to the Jumang Daoist Academy. In addition to our alliance with the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, we might be unable to kill someone, but it¡¯s still more than enough to protect someone.¡±


    ¡°Three Nascent Soul experts from the Jumang Academy, two of them aren¡¯t at the academy right now, and the Dance Tool might not necessarily side with my sister.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll see about that when the time comes.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t feel like explaining the top-level relationship between the Daoist Academies to a defector like Kong Feichen. It was his instinct to stay out of this matter.


    However, he could consider delivering the Prohibition Refining Pill to Qing Nu.


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s attitude, Kong Feichen felt helpless. After all, he didn¡¯t dare to contact Qing Nu directly, and Chen Mobai was the only person around her he could trust.


    ¡°Is there any side effects after taking this pill?¡±


    ¡°No, it just makes the body feel a lot lighter.¡±


    Hearing Kong Feichen¡¯s words, Chen Mobai nodded his head, and placed the pill in the box of colorful vegetable balls he was bringing for Qing Nu. If not given a closer look, it would go unnoticed.


    ¡°You¡¯re just going to give it to her like this?¡±


    On seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s action, Kong Feichen¡¯s bird-like mouth trembled a little, seemingly in disbelief.


    ¡°What else should I do?¡±


    That Chen Mobai was willing to help was already due to his friendship with Qing Nu.


    ¡°Alright then.¡±


    Kong Feichen was the one asking for a favor, so he didn¡¯t dare to say much more.


    ¡°Could you help me to keep this snake?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, Kong Feichen suddenly brought up another matter.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s not possible.¡±


    Chen Mobai was constantly traversing between two worlds, he didn¡¯t even have time for romantic relationships, let alone pets.


    ¡°Do you know about the Dharma Gate?¡±


    Kong Feichen suddenly asked a confusing question.


    ¡°I do. It¡¯s an ancient Daoist lineage. It absorbs and refines everything in the universe into one Primordial Heavenly Essence. It¡¯s reputed to be the best at performing miraculous Techniques.¡±


    ¡°This snake was struck by the Devouring Heaven Technique of the Dragon Tiger Ancestor. It can consume Spiritual Objects containing Spiritual Machine to refine. If it eats enough Spiritual Objects, it can reverse its lineage.¡±


    ¡°What does this have to do with me?¡±


    Chen Mobai was very perplexed.


    ¡°This Devouring Heaven Serpent is one of the masterpieces of ancient biology research by the Ascension Sect. The Dragon Tiger Ancestor encoded all the lineage of dragons and snake species that have appeared in the star¡¯s history into its genes. When its gene reverses back, if it doesn¡¯t collapse and die, it can condense a bit of the highly valuable True Spirit¡¯s Blood.¡±


    ¡°Is this true?¡±


    Chen Mobai, having stayed in the Dance Tool Daoist Academy for so many years, though he never took a course related to biological Spirit Beasts, he was still aware of the term ¡°True Spirit¡±.


    The only living True Spirit of the Immortal Gate is the Kunpeng of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, which is equivalent to the sixth-order Divinity Transformation.


    However, it¡¯s said that even this Kunpeng¡¯s True Spirit Body is incomplete.


    Are the Ascension Sect¡¯s achievements this impressive?


    Chen Mobai expressed doubt about this.


    ¡°If such a precious creature is handed over to me to keep, aren¡¯t you afraid of the Ascension Sect investigating this?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s plenty of this thing. After completing the gene encoding, the Dragon Tiger Ancestor cloned tens of thousands of them, released them onto a suitable planet in the universe, and allowed them to evolve by devouring each other. According to the Ascension Sect¡¯s plan, the final evolved Devouring Heaven Serpent would swallow all its kind and the planet, and there might be a chance for it to evolve into a perfect True Spirit.¡±

    After hearing Kong Feichen¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze completely changed. He lifted the miniature black snake encased in his Misty Cloud Prison to his eyes.


    ¡°When I learned about this, I went to the snake star to catch one. Then I put the impurities of the Divine Sense that Yang Jing had separated from into it. After all, it¡¯s also a part of my sister, I cannot bear to let it return to the snake star, it might be eaten by its kind. But this thing is too well-known in the Ascension Sect, it¡¯s not good for me to carry it around, so I was thinking if there was an opportunity to release it in an uninhabited place without any Spiritual Machine activity and leave it to its fate.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the Devouring Heaven Technique inside this snake?¡±


    Chen Mobai activated his Void Spirit Eye and, sure enough, he found something different inside the belly of the little black snake. It was the most complex and precise prohibition he had ever seen, but he did not sense any Spiritual Power fluctuation from it.


    ¡°The Devouring Heaven Technique is derived and evolved from the Dharma Gate¡¯s great Law by the Dragon Tiger Ancestor. The Dharma Gate absorbs and refines all Spiritual Machines into a single Primordial Heavenly Essence, while this technique is used to devour Spiritual Machines and refine all the legendary dragon and snake bloodlines in the genes, hoping that one day it will reverse its lineage and transform into a True Spirit Body.¡±

 Chapter 526 - Chapter 526: Chapter 357 Devouring Heaven Serpent_2

    Chapter 526: Chapter 357 Devouring Heaven Serpent_2


    This Dragon-Tiger Ancestor is a real talent!


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but applaud after hearing Kong Feichen¡¯s explanation.


    He refined a strand of pure Water Spirit Qi on the surface of the lake and projected it into the mouth of the Little Black Snake who swallowed it directly. Subsequently, his Void Spirit Eye perceived a slight fluctuation in the restrictions within its belly. After that, an invisible force surged throughout the snake¡¯s body, as if cleansing its bloodline.


    ¡°Can I choose which True Spirit¡¯s Blood eventually congeals?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid not, it all depends on luck.¡±


    ¡°Does your Ascension Sect have any successful cases?¡±


    ¡°On that Snake Star, there was a serpent that has condensed a trace of White Dragon¡¯s Blood, and another that has condensed Bashe¡¯s Blood, but both were taken by the Dragon-Tiger Ancestor for research. He wants to cultivate a True Spirit Body to see if it can serve as a reincarnated body for the third body disintegration of our sect¡¯s hierarch.¡±


    After hearing these words, Chen Mobai looked at Kong Feichen differently. Given that he had access to such information, it seemed that he had a good standing within the Ascension Sect.


    ¡°Bloodline Reversion is like winning a lottery then, but there must be certain categories for the True Spirit¡¯s Blood that ultimately congeals, right?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s probably only known to the Dragon-Tiger Ancestor, God knows how many dragon-snake genes he has incorporated.¡±


    Kong Feichen shook his head, suggesting that Chen Mobai can imagine as many dragon and snake species that had appeared in the myths and legends as possible, including the ones whose fossils have been excavated.


    ¡°The Candle Dragon¡¯s Blood should be included too, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, and Kong Feichen hesitated.


    The Six Rulers Sutra of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute can only be fully cultivated with the Candle Dragon¡¯s Blood, and he knew that.


    Since anyone can download the cultivation techniques of the Immortal Sects and even the Techniques at the Divinity Transformation Level, the Ascension Sect also has copies of Six Rulers Sutra¡¯s Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment sections.


    If they have included the Devouring Heaven Serpent, then it¡¯s certain that the Dragon-Tiger Ancestor would have also incorporated the Candle Dragon¡¯s Blood into the gene pool.


    After all, if a serpent managed to transform through the Candle Dragon¡¯s Blood, it would be almost certain to complete the Six Rulers Sutra which is one of the topmost methods of Divinity Transformation in the Immortal Sects.


    This method significantly surpasses the ancient methods practiced by these ancient sects.


    ¡°I¡¯m not certain about that, but I think it should be included. After all, the Candle Dragon¡¯s Blood was available in the Kunpeng Daoist Institute thousands of years ago. Stealing some ashes of cultivators who had refined the Candle Dragon¡¯s Blood can still extract the corresponding gene segments.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai decided to reluctantly stick with raising the Little Black Snake, in consideration of Qing Nu and also because his impression of Yang Jing was pretty good.


    ¡°I want to clarify beforehand that the Devouring Heaven Serpent needs to devour a lot of Spiritual Mechanisms for its evolution. If you want the True Spirit¡¯s Blood, it might take hundreds of years of raising it to have a chance for transformation. What¡¯s more, evolution might not even be successful. In a place like the Immortal Sects where resources are strictly controlled, be careful not to catch the attention of the relevant departments.¡±


    Kong Feichen spoke just to avoid being held accountable by Chen Mobai in the future.


    Being as capable as the Ascension Sect, they were only able to cultivate two successful Devouring Heaven Serpents over hundreds of years. Kong Feichen did not believe that Chen Mobai could accomplish the same feat.


    He only revealed the details of the Devouring Heaven Serpent to make Chen Mobai interested, intending for him to keep the Little Black Snake as a pet for life.


    The resources required for the Bloodline Reversion and achieving True Spirit are too much for the Ascension Sect to handle. They slaughtered the chickens for the eggs and directly captured the only two successful snakes on the Snake Star for research.


    ¡°I got it. You should hurry and leave the territory of the Immortal Sect. Otherwise, if the relevant departments catch you, Qing Nu probably won¡¯t be able to avoid being implicated.¡±


    Chen Mobai waved his hand, signaling Kong Feichen that they could leave.


    ¡°Remember this forum¡¯s URL. If you need to contact me, just leave a message here. Just say you¡¯re looking for Flying Bird.¡±


    Kong Feichen left after giving Chen Mobai a URL. Chen Mobai memorized it, but he would not use his main account to visit.


    Given the strength of the Immortal Sects, he had reason to suspect that this forum was unsafe and had been under surveillance, waiting for the number of visitors to increase before rounding them all up.


    However, while he can¡¯t visit with his main account, there was no issue with his sub-account.


    If Chen Mobai wanted to contact Kong Feichen in the future, he could log in with the account ¡°Turtle Treasure¡± within the Tianhe Realm. No matter how powerful the Immortal Sect¡¯s network information department was, they wouldn¡¯t be able to check the water meter at the Giant Tree Ridge, would they?!


    After watching Kong Feichen leave, Chen Mobai refined the Five Element Spiritual Energy and fed them to the Devouring Heaven Serpent, but found that it doesn¡¯t eat just anything.


    It was a bit picky and only eats Wood Spirit Qi and Water Spirit Qi.


    Perhaps its bloodline isn¡¯t strong enough to consume everything just yet.


    He then took out a lower-grade Spirit Stone. The serpent didn¡¯t refuse it, even quickly swallowing it whole, but immediately choked on it as if it was having a hard time digesting it.


    Its throat swelled up, mirroring the exact shape of the Spirit Stone.


    With a flick of Chen Mobai¡¯s fingers, he helped it break the stone. Then the Devouring Heaven Serpent began to curl up because of the excessive Spiritual Energy entering its body, staying immobile as if it was hibernating.


    He glanced at the time, then at the Little Black Snake, recalling that he didn¡¯t have a Spirit Beast Bag on hand and it also wouldn¡¯t look good to carry this creature around where others could see it.


    After some thought, he returned to Small Leaf Island, then used the Turtle Treasure to teleport into his room within the Divine Tree Secret Realm, where he left the snake.


    However, to prevent it from running amok when it woke, Chen Mobai took out a Mysterious Fog Talisman and activated it. A hazy white mist began to cover and encircle a five-mile radius area.


    This talisman was one of the examination topics for his rank-2 Talisman Maker exam. With the help of Zhuang Jialan, he had mastered this quite well; he could successfully generate the talisman seven or eight times out of ten.


    The purpose of this talisman was to establish a prison within the region covered by the fog. Besides obscuring perception, it could even obstruct Divine Sense.


    ¡°I wonder if I can obtain a drop of any True Spirit¡¯s Blood.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered to himself. Within the Immortal Sect, the most precious was definitely the Candle Dragon¡¯s blood. For this, he suspected the Kunpeng Daoist Institute might even be willing to trade it for Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine.


    However, even if the Devouring Heaven Serpent truly evolves to have the Candle Dragon¡¯s blood, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t reveal it to others. That would be an outright exposure of his communication with the heretical sect!


    Then again, if the Ascension Sect can craft a Devouring Heaven Serpent using biological technology, why can¡¯t the Immortal Sect do the same!


    Is it because they lack talents like the Dragon and Tiger Ancestors?


    That wouldn¡¯t be right either. The Immortal Sect has Yuan Xu, their pool of talents definitely surpasses that of the heretical sect. Perhaps there¡¯s a factor that they can¡¯t speak of that¡¯s preventing them from proceeding, or they may be doing it secretly, unbeknownst to the public.


    Right, isn¡¯t Senior Chi Shicheng from the Immortal Sect¡¯s ancient biology research department? When the competition concludes and I start to return, I can act as if I¡¯m interested and ask about these matters.


    After coming to a conclusion, Chen Mobai left Small Leaf Island.


    Fortunately, the other individuals from the Dance Tool Dao Academy hadn¡¯t returned yet, and Luo Hezheng was nowhere to be found either. It seemed like the four Daoist academies had gathered the materials for refining a rank-3 elixir, and were currently discussing the refining and distribution process.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t particularly care about that; after all, he was still far from reaching the Perfect foundation establishment phase with his Pure Yang Scroll.


    Once again taking out his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± to transform it into a cloud boat, Chen Mobai returned to Wood God Island.


    ¡°Hmm? There¡¯s something different about the taste of these vegetable balls.¡±


    Qing Nu consumed all of the balls Chen Mobai had brought her without any suspicion. Meanwhile, Chen ate the Prohibition Refining Pill whilst her slim eyebrows furrowed slightly as she chewed, mumbling to herself.


    ¡°This is a new flavor that their place just came out with today.¡±


    Chen Mobai uttered a white lie without even blinking. Qing Nu heard him and simply responded with an ¡®Oh¡¯, nodding her head before finishing the entire box of colorful veggie balls using her chopsticks.


    ¡°Although this new flavor is mediocre, I feel refreshed after eating it.¡±


    Hearing Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai chuckled, then immediately asked her to help control the temperature of the medicine refining flames, thereby changing the subject.


    ¡°Remember to bring me another box of vegetable balls like the ones from yesterday.¡±


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t keep eating vegetables all the time. Look at how thin you are, it¡¯s not attractive. I¡¯ll bring you some meat today.¡±

    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t conjure up any more Prohibition Refining Pills, but he had his ways. He took a good look at Qing Nu¡¯s slender yet well-proportioned body, outright saying she was too thin and didn¡¯t look good.


    ¡°Really? Do you really think I would look better if I put on some weight?¡±


    Qing Nu seemed to value this assessment greatly, touching her own cheeks. She felt she was not as plump as Yan Bingxuan¡¯s.


    ¡°Yes! Trust my aesthetic sense, I have seen many beautiful women.¡±


    Chen Mobai thumped his chest, emphasizing that his aesthetic judgement was professional.

    Chapter 527: Chapter 338 All Flaws_1


    Island in the lake.


    When Chen Mobai arrived, those who were exchanging ideas on the stage consciously began to speed up their progression, wanting to end their turn quickly and give up the stage.


    Every match hereafter would be a showdown at the peak level of the Foundation Establishment Realm in the Immortal Gate.


    If they could learn a thing or two from these exchanges, they would undoubtedly achieve significant progress.


    ¡°President, Lu Qiulong¡¯s opponents these past three days have been rather ordinary. He hasn¡¯t even used the Spirit Fusion Technique.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan from Dance Tool Dao Academy said with a look of shame.


    In the meantime, Sun Daoji had even challenged Lu Qiulong proactively to probe for information, but he had been rejected by the latter.


    In order to maintain his peak form for Chen Mobai, Lu Qiulong didn¡¯t care about saving face anymore.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make him use it today, so pay close attention.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile, leaving Zhuang Jialan at a loss for words.


    Wasn¡¯t the purpose of this just to gather more information about the opponent?


    Now, the two top Daoist Academies, Kunpeng and Botian, along with several other well-ranked spiritual academies, had openly formed alliances to target Chen Mobai. They had been shameless from the start, from the time of Master Ling Dao.


    In previous days, Lu Qiulong had only chosen three ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators to fight against him. He had just warmed up.


    But now, not only had he shaved his beard, but he had also switched to a tight, white tank top and black trousers and cloth shoes. His muscular shoulders and arms were exposed. He stood at the very front of True Spiritual Academy¡¯s platform, like a furnace full of vitality.


    Just standing there gave an impression of robustness, magnificence, and masculine intimidation.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for this day for a long time,¡±


    Lu Qiulong addressed Chen Mobai. A colorful old tiger slowly rose from his feet. This enormous beast, nearly two meters tall, emitted a terrifying, beastly aura that chilled the cultivators of True Spiritual Academy on the platform.


    ¡°A long time? Hasn¡¯t it been just two days?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai showed a puzzled expression. He had only challenged Lu Qiulong two days ago.


    ¡°My loss in the Little Red Sky was my second one since graduation. The first was against Lan Haitian, to whom I lost willingly.¡±


    ¡°In other words, you¡¯re not satisfied with your loss to me.¡±


    Chen Mobai tilted his head slightly, indicating that he didn¡¯t quite understand Lu Qiulong¡¯s remark.


    ¡°Correct, very much, utterly resentful!¡±


    Lu Qiulong used three adjectives to emphasize his mood.


    ¡°I see, you¡¯ve been waiting a long time since you lost to me in the Little Red Sky. What a petty man,¡±


    Chen Mobai sneered. At this, Lu Qiulong¡¯s eye twitched. He had a feeling that the word ¡°petty¡± would plague him for a long time.


    ¡°Enough talk, let¡¯s get down there!¡±


    Realizing he wasn¡¯t Chen Mobai¡¯s match in banter, Lu Qiulong immediately interrupted their verbal sparring.


    With a boost from his powerful legs, he launched off the platform. The supporting branches bent under his pressure before he shot into the air. After completing two somersaults, he came down hard onto the lake.


    Boom!


    When Lu Qiulong landed, the triangular stage rattled and lifted from the lake, revealing a network of large tree roots at the bottom. A colorful, giant shadow descended from the sky and lazily stood beside Lu Qiulong.


    ¡°Your realm is still lacking. You can¡¯t even handle things with ease,¡±


    Chen Mobai slowly flew down and paused in mid-air, waiting for the lake water stirred by Lu Qiulong to settle back down. He didn¡¯t forget to comment along the way.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t do it. I just want to give my all against you, so I don¡¯t want to waste even a bit of my Divine Sense,¡±


    After finishing his sentence, Lu Qiulong held up his right fist toward Chen Mobai.


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, he disappeared from sight. The tree root, which had been supporting him, was sprung aside as if it had been affected by a tremendous force.


    Chen Mobai blinked, his vision blurring. Lu Qiulong¡¯s body, along with his huge fist, was filling his entire field of vision.


    A faint, red, misty cloud exploded on Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead during the clash between Lu Qiulong¡¯s fist and the cloud shield formed by the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±. Although it deflected the punch, it was a lower-grade, Rank-2 Magic Artifact. Against a power that surpassed its limit, it was bound to fail eventually.


    Lu Qiulong¡¯s second punch was on the way. Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes flashed as he launched an invisible Thought Knife, targeting his opponent¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, this technique had already been exposed when dealing with Ling Dao, so Lu Qiulong was well-prepared for it.


    Roar!


    A tiger¡¯s roar, sounding like a thunderclap, shattered the Thought Knives just as they were about to invade Lu Qiulong¡¯s Purple Palace.


    Chen Mobai slightly frowned as he watched the Extremely Wicked Tiger wagging its tail nearby. An electrical glow flickered between his fingers, condensing into a Thunder Ball to confront Lu Qiulong, who was about to strike again.


    But at that moment, a giant tiger paw enveloped in the strange white-gold airflow manifested on Lu Qiulong¡¯s chest, helping him to resist Chen Mobai¡¯s Yi Wood Divine Thunder.

 Chapter 528 - Chapter 528: Chapter 338 All Full of Flaws_2

    Chapter 528: Chapter 338 All Full of Flaws_2


    ¡°Such a fast big cat!¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised to see this. Within his view, the afterimage of the Extremely Wicked Tiger was still at its original spot, but its real body had already rushed between him and Lu Qiulong, helping Lu Qiulong block the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    It even swung its tail that seemed like a whip at Chen Mobai, but it was knocked back by a sword light.


    At the same time, the dazzling Qingyao electric light collided with the platinum air current, creating a blinding glow. The power of the glow gradually weakened as if restrained and was gradually pushed back by the tiger¡¯s palm.


    With a whistling sound, Lu Qiulong¡¯s fist hammered again.


    Despite it being two against one, Chen Mobai was very calm. His eyes flashed, using the Void Spirit Eye to capture the opponent¡¯s movements. Guiding the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± with his Divine Sense, he blocked another fist.


    Yet, he was at a disadvantage on the battlefield.


    This scene incited excitement on the faces of hundreds of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.


    Indeed, as long as his Rank-3 Thunder method could be blocked, even the top student of Dance Tool Dao Academy was merely an ordinary genius, incapable of overpowering the top warriors of the same realm.


    Lu Qiulong had pushed his speed to its limits. It seemed like there were three or four people beating up Chen Mobai.


    If the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± hadn¡¯t been refined as per his wish, enabling it to change shape at will, Chen Mobai would have been seriously injured by now.


    ¡°President!¡±


    Seeing this scene, Zhuang Jialan, who was at the platform of Dance Daoist Academy, showed a worried expression. Although she knew that Chen Mobai still had Sword Sha at his disposal, its exposure here might make the battles against future opponents even tougher.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everything is within his control.¡±


    Bian Jingchun voiced, and both Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng were calm and collected. The three of them at Foundation Establishment Rank-9 clearly saw that although Lu Qiulong¡¯s offensive was aggressive, he was holding back a bit.


    As for Chen Mobai, he was merely probing the opponent¡¯s attack power, with most of his energy focused on the Extremely Wicked Tiger.


    The occasional sword light emitted casually was mixed with bright green thunder light, showing his ease in handling the situation.


    ¡°My patience is limited. If this is your level, I¡¯m afraid today might end in your reluctant defeat.¡±


    After twenty moves, Chen Mobai suddenly broke the silence.


    Following that, he spat out a wisp of Green-sun Fire.


    Without using Sword Sha, he merely refined the ¡°Green-sun Fire¡± into a Sword Light. Like a green, shimmering fireline, it broke through the defense of the platinum air current and slashed a deep, charred wound on Lu Qiulong¡¯s crossed arms.


    Roar!


    A huge shadow with a stench of blood and evil aura pounced towards Chen Mobai. A peak Rank-2 Spirit Beast with its powerful bloodline controlling the Golden Wind dual attributes. The power of its Spiritual blood gas was stronger than any of the Foundation Establishment Rank-9 cultivators present.


    Chen Mobai, however, remained unreactive towards the Extremely Wicked Tiger pouncing at him.


    After spitting out the Green-sun Fire, he raised his right hand and touched the Flying Sparrow Hairpin fixed in his high ponytail.


    Just as he was about to release an earth-shaking sword strike, the Extremely Wicked Tiger suddenly stopped its advance. Its face had a very human-like look of apprehension as it retreated back to Lu Qiulong¡¯s side.


    ¡°Your Sword Light¡¯s color has changed?¡±


    Lu Qiulong looked at the injuries inflicted by the Green Sun Fire Sword Light on his arms. His Spiritual Power and blood gas rumbling, he forced out wisp after wisp of green-colored flames.


    ¡°I¡¯ve made a slight advancement in my Sword Dao.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke the truth, but Lu Qiulong took it to mean his Sword Light had become more powerful.


    ¡°As you said, probing is just a waste of time for us.¡±


    Within the duration of their conversation, the injuries on Lu Qiulong¡¯s arms had healed substantially. Chen Mobai floated in the air with his hands behind his back, seemingly waiting for his opponent to recover.


    ¡°Does he seek to crush his opponent at their strongest and most confident? Indeed, it is like him.¡±


    Seeing this scene, the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who were watching had this thought in their minds. Their impression of the top student of Dance Tool Dao Academy, a model of hubris, deepened.


    ¡°Because my realm is inferior to this old fellow, when in Spirit Fusion, my body will be filled with its evil aura and my Divine Sense will also be affected. Only when its power is exhausted to a point lower than my Spiritual Power can I stop.¡±


    Lu Qiulong spoke while, at the same time, the Extremely Wicked Tiger lightly shook its head. It seemed to be persuading him not to use this move.


    ¡°Old fellow, just let me act willfully one more time.¡±


    Lu Qiulong touched the black ¡°king¡± mark on the forehead of the Extremely Wicked Tiger, and the Spirit Beast shook its head again. It had already sensed the terrifying Sword Light of Chen Mobai during their previous exchange, which was extremely restrained towards its Fire Attribute.


    There was not a high chance of winning this battle.

    ¡°Don¡¯t make me a liar.¡±


    Lu Qiulong said these words. His face turned pale as a sheet in an instant, then flushed hard. His body grew bigger and veins bulged all over.


    Seeing this, the Extremely Wicked Tiger let out a sky-shattering roar. Once this move was used, there was no turning back.


    With an earthshaking roar, Chen Mobai saw the Extremely Wicked Tiger turn into a large puff of platinum airflow, mixed with black and red blood gas, and attach itself to the surface of Lu Qiulong¡¯s body.


    At the same time, the remaining Green Sun Fire on Lu Qiulong¡¯s arms was completely removed. The wounds healed, leaving only faint charred traces of the sword wound.

 Chapter 529 - Chapter 529: Chapter 338 Full of Flaws_3

    Chapter 529: Chapter 338 Full of Flaws_3


    And his aura kept soaring, in a blink of an eye broke through Rank-8 of Foundation Establishment, then Rank-9, eventually reached Perfection, and was even still rising, reaching the very ceiling of the Foundation Building Realm.


    As the platinum current dissipates, a completely transfigured Lu Qiulong emerged into Chen Mobai¡¯s sight.


    He had swelled significantly, his skin sprouted sparse hair and a row of sharp tigers teeth glinted coldly, making him appear like an upright striding tiger.


    ¡°Impressive, this power makes even me tremble.¡±


    Chen Mobai observed that Lu Qiulong, in this state, almost equated to the level of spiritual power at the Perfection of the Pure Yang Scroll Foundation Establishment, which was already the peak power attainable in the Foundation Building Realm.


    This sense of oppression was something he had never experienced in the Foundation Building Realm.


    ¡°Ready to embrace the failure?¡±


    Lu Qiulong muttered this with a muffled voice, then in almost an instant, he rushed to Chen Mobai¡¯s front and threw a heavy punch.


    Boom, boom, boom!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s body was sent flying like being impacted by a high-speed train, smashing into the surface of the lake from midair, causing huge splashes.


    Amid the concussive sound, Lu Qiulong instantly reappeared before Chen Mobai, his massive hand, sharpened like claws, was pressing against Chen Mobai¡¯s forehead, seemingly about to press him to the bottom of the lake.


    ¡®Hiss¡¯!


    A wisp of green-blue sword light lit up like a line in the palm of Lu Qiulong, accompanied by the bright red blood, half of Lu Qiulong¡¯s hand pressed against Chen Mobai¡¯s face was sliced off.


    Chen Mobai slightly turned his head, already shaking off the remaining half of Lu Qiulong¡¯s hand.


    In the throes of severe pain, Lu Qiulong seemed to have his animalistic fury fully stimulated, he clenched his other intact hand into a fist, and with terror-inducing force which could upheave the entire island in the lake, smashed heavily towards Chen Mobai¡¯s chest.


    Facing such an onslaught, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes sparkled brightly, remaining cool-headed, his right hand extended, Five Elements Sword Light intertwined creating a rain of sword strikes, piercing towards all parts of Lu Qiulong¡¯s body.


    However, a surge of platinum current seemed to form a Blood and Chi Armor, covering Lu Qiulong¡¯s entire body.


    Just as Lu Qiulong thought his defenses could easily block the rain of Five Element¡¯s sword light as they did the Rank-3 Thunder method, a series of needle-like pains spread throughout his body.


    ¡°Too bad, this isn¡¯t your own power.¡±


    Chen Mobai said calmly, under the opened Void Spirit Eye, he could clearly see at least a dozen overloading points in Lu Qiulong¡¯s physical body due to the uncoordinated fusion of spiritual power, monstrosity, and Divine Sense.


    Spread among his five internal organs and twelve meridians.


    His Five Elements Sword Light rain targeted these areas specifically, particularly the restraining organs and parts.


    With a bang, the platinum current that enveloped Lu Qiulong completely dispersed like the smoke mists burst by his fist.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, at least we¡¯ll both be damaged!¡±


    Seeing his own defenses was completely stripped away, Lu Qiulong, with nothing left to defend, only focused on avoiding, he took a deep breath to suppress the severe pain generated by the disorder of his Five Elements, channeling the remaining power he could mobilize into his intact right hand.


    The already massive arm swelled once more at this moment, several earthworm-like veins bulged out, and even a trace of blood mist seeped out from his pores, clearly demonstrating the massive power of Lu Qiulong¡¯s punch.


    Even the air was punched into rings of waves.


    However, there was another ¡®hiss¡¯!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai, holding the Flying Sparrow Hairpin in his left hand, unknown when he had plucked it out, made a light swipe in front of him.


    The Green-sun Fire Sword Light shimmered like a thread.


    This huge fist of Lu Qiulong was cut off by him at the wrist.


    Chen Mobai initially thought this would be a thrilling duel of true men, however, the big-named Lu Qiulong, albeit with the strongest power on the scene after Spirit Fusion


    ¡°Full of weaknesses!¡±

 Chapter 532 - Chapter 532: Chapter 360 Lasting Spring Cultivation_1

    Chapter 532: Chapter 360 Lasting Spring Cultivation_1


    ¡°How¡¯s your hand?¡±


    On Da Ye Island, Qi Huanzhi turned to ask Lu Qiulong.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, just can¡¯t exert any strength.¡±


    Lu Qiulong sat on his own spirit beast, looking at his hands that were bandaged by the Imperial Medical Academy and hung around his chest, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh bitterly.


    ¡°That guy¡¯s sword is terrifying.¡±


    The one speaking was Lou Fengcheng. In his open right palm, gold lines flickered continuously, forming a three-dimensional image of Chen Mobai. A green lightning and a small flying sword also turned into symbols, flickering around the image.


    ¡°The Thunder Method has been taken care of. Now, once we resolve the Sword Light, we can completely defeat him.¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan wore a frosty expression. He had come over today. Even though he watched the videos of Chen Mobai easily defeating four people, he was still full of confidence in himself. However, after two failures, he had gained something called patience, so he came here to participate in the ¡®Defeat Chen Mobai¡¯ alliance held by Lou Fengcheng.


    ¡°The Sword Light is of fire attribute, and it seems to be refined with a powerful spiritual fire as the foundation of the Sword Light. Defensive techniques and magic artifacts of water attribute are the best, earth attribute is also okay, as long as it¡¯s not metal or wood attribute.¡±


    It was on this matter that Lu Qiulong met his defeat. He had assumed that after merging with the Extremely Wicked Tiger, he would be able to manipulate the platinum air streams to block the Rank-3 Thunder Method, allowing him to fight Chen Mobai on equal grounds.


    Who could have known that he would run into the Green Sun Fire Sword Light and get completely outdone.


    His heavily armored blood Qi and strength, touted to be at the ceiling of the Foundation Establishment Realm, hadn¡¯t even been brought into play, and he was defeated in just two strikes. This was an even more humiliating and quicker loss than back when he was at Little Red Sky.


    ¡°For the next match, Wenren Xuewei¡¯s Lasting Spring Cultivation precisely counters his fire attribute Sword Light. If she also has a defensive artefact that can counter the Thunder Method, the two of them should be in for a fierce Dragon Phoenix Duel.¡±


    Tao Mingqing was the most calm in the room. He didn¡¯t have an obsession in his heart regarding winning or losing against Chen Mobai. He joined this union because the Primordial Elemental Academy had a good relationship with the Repairing Heaven Institute, and he thought it would be interesting if he could defeat Chen Mobai.


    For Tao Mingqing, who now only harbored hopes of Core Formation, during the long period of waiting for the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment, keeping himself busy with something, or having a goal, would make life more interesting.


    ¡°There¡¯s also his Spirit Eye Technique.¡±


    Qi Huanzhi opened his mouth. He had cultivated the Zulong Divine Eye Technique, and when Chen Mobai had accurately shattered Lu Qiulong¡¯s overloaded pressure points after the Spirit Fusion through Five Elements Sword Light, Qi Huanzhi quickly grasped this detail yet critical information.


    ¡°In that case, when confronting him, we need to use a talisman to hide Qi and spiritual power beforehand.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng nodded his head. After further refining Chen Mobai¡¯s 3D model with the Guidance Book, he set a strategy to block the Spirit Eye Technique.


    ¡°Should we send the information we¡¯ve collected to Wenren Xuewei?¡±


    Tao Mingqing suddenly suggested an idea.


    ¡°No need, let those two have a peak duel first. Whether it¡¯s victory or defeat, it will be advantageous for us.¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan suddenly spoke up, revealing the chill in his eyes.


    ¡°I would rather hope that the kid wins. This way, I can personally defeat him thoroughly in front of everyone.¡±


    Everyone quickly reached a consensus.


    After all, Wenren Xuewei rejected them voluntarily, they naturally didn¡¯t need to persist.


    Moreover, Dance Tool and Jumang were originally part of the same group.


    They didn¡¯t really trust Wenren Xuewei either.


    It should be a cause of joy for them that the two were having inner disputes now.


    ¡­


    ¡°Good luck.¡±


    In the Elixir Refining Room, Qing Nu squinted and smiled, holding her fist she cheered for Chen Mobai who was about to leave.


    ¡°What do you want to eat today?¡±


    Chen Mobai stood at the door, stretching his body, and asked.


    ¡°Yesterday¡¯s barbecue was pretty good.¡±


    ¡°Alright, but I might return a bit late today.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a problem, my Cultivation Technique naturally comes with a fasting feature, I can endure hunger.¡±


    ¡°Haha, I¡¯ll only be a bit late, I won¡¯t let you go hungry.¡±


    Chen Mobai cheerfully left, exuding strong confidence.


    Although the Lasting Spring Cultivation is indeed mighty, his Pure Yang Scrolls were on par with those reaching the Divinity Transformation. If it doesn¡¯t work out, he¡¯ll just use an explosive Green Flames Sword Slaughter, anyway, the remaining Green Sun Fire could still condense another Sword Sha.


    The offline competition lasted for ten days, and today was the fifth day.


    And it was on this day that over a hundred true cultivators of the Daoist Academy and the Ten Great Schools around the Center Lake Island had all gathered, but not a single person went up for a match.


    Everyone was waiting for the confrontation between possibly the two strongest competitors in this offline competition.


    Wenren Xuewei of Jumang Daoist Academy, who in the past five hundred years, was the first to have cultivated the Lasting Spring Cultivation.


    And, Chen Mobai, who restored the glory of Dance Tool Dao Academy, who is unstoppable among his peers, and is even about to clear through the entire Foundation Building Realm, Battle Law Victory.

    If it was earlier, most people would definitely think that Wenren Xuewei would win.


    This was because the reputation of Lasting Spring Cultivation is overwhelming.


    However, Chen Mobai in this last five days, demonstrated his extraordinary prowess, convincing many true cultivators of this generation that he will be one of the peaks of the immortality seeking path in the future.


    Moreover, up until now in the offline competition, Chen Mobai hasn¡¯t shown his true strength.


    At this time, everyone acknowledges him as the well-deserved first on the Foundation List.

 Chapter 533 - Chapter 533: Chapter 360 Lasting Spring Cultivation _2

    Chapter 533: Chapter 360 Lasting Spring Cultivation _2


    Today, Xiahou Weihuan also naturally came.


    Having already helped Sima Xingyu stabilise his injuries, he didn¡¯t want to miss this top-notch duel.


    Although he considers that his Pure Yang Scroll combined with the Primordial Yang Sword Secret is not less significant than the Lasting Spring Cultivation method, Xiahou Weihuan respects Lan Haitian¡¯s strength. If Wenren Xuewei can hold him to a draw, she is obviously at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Maybe they even possess Rank-3 methods.


    As per usual, Chen Mobai arrived elegantly at nine in the morning.


    Upon seeing that not a soul stood above the ten ring platforms on the island in the lake, he was mildly surprised, but soon figured out the reason.


    ¡°Did everyone eat breakfast?¡±


    Chen Mobai first arrived at the platform of Dance Tool Dao Academy, handing out the breakfast he had bought to Zhuang Jialan, intending her to distribute it to the rest of their academy peers. Jumang Dao Academy¡¯s food was excellent, although it was light, it still had an exquisite elegance to it.


    Under the guidance of Qing Nu, he practically ate all over Wood God Island, and naturally didn¡¯t forget to bring food back for his own academy members.


    Although cultivators¡¯ desires diminish as their cultivation realm increases, Chen Mobai still retains this habit.


    ¡°Do you need me to wait for you?¡±


    The voice of Wenren Xuewei came. She stood on the platform of Jumang Dao Academy, with a faint smile on her face.


    ¡°No need, I already ate on my way here.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head, then waved goodbye to Zhuang Jialan and the others, joining Wenren Xuewei as they descended towards the surface of the lake.


    Nor stirring up a single ripple, the two stood in a pentagonal ring platform.


    ¡°Your Rank-3 Thunder Method is very terrifying, so I borrowed a Rank-3 Defensive Magic Artifact.¡±


    While Wenren Xuewei was speaking, she raised her own jade-like right hand. A wooden ring sat on her slender middle finger.


    The ring was golden all over, yet it brimmed with ripples as if beneath the blue sky, one sees the sparkling sea.


    ¡°This ring is called ¡®Sea Passage¡¯. It is made from the wood of a big tree. It has both water and wood attributes.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei had briefly introduced it, and Chen Mobai, with the accumulated knowledge about treasure appraisal over these years, assessed it to be a lower-grade Rank-3 defensive artifact.


    Although they, who are top cultivators at Foundation Establishment, can handle a Rank-3 Magic Artifact, if its grade is higher, then trying to use it would feel like a weak youth waving a large hammer, extremely difficult.


    Therefore, Foundation Establishment cultivators typically select lower-grade Rank-3 items as they are easier to handle and drain significantly less spiritual power.


    Wenren Xuewei is indeed confident, but in the face of a Rank-3 Thunder Method, she doesn¡¯t want to resist directly with her own power and physical body.


    ¡°This sword is called ¡®Gliding Sparrow.¡¯ It¡¯s also made from a type of Spirit Wood, with both fire and wood attributes.¡±


    Given the honest way his opponent was behaving, Chen Mobai returned the favor by displaying the same respect. This was the first time he willingly extracted the Flying Sparrow Hairpin from his topknot ponytail in public, pinched it with his thumb and forefinger, presented it and called out the name of this exquisite flying sword for the first time in public.


    ¡°Although this Gliding Sparrow is just a Rank-2 flying sword, it is the ideal match for you.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei seemed to also have knowledge in treasure appraisal, her eyes brightening at the sight. She had already read through the real and false ins and outs of the Flying Sparrow Hairpin¡¯s level and quality.


    However, when Chen Mobai had used this flying sword against Lu Qiulong before, perhaps it was recorded and then identified by others.


    Compared to Wenren Xuewei, who had no choice but to use a Rank-3 Magic Artifact in defense against the Rank-3 Thunder Method, Chen Mobai¡¯s flying sword was a higher-grade second-rank weapon, perfectly matched to his cultivation level, and able to maximize its power potential to the fullest.


    With a hiss!


    Without exchanging any more words with Wenren Xuewei, Chen Mobai directly raised the Flying Sparrow Hairpin in his hand and drew a Green Sun Fire Sword Light at her.


    This sword light had easily defeated the incredibly powerful Lu Qiulong just yesterday. Although Wenren Xuewei had achieved Lasting Spring Cultivation, she had no plans to resist it directly.


    She reached out her hand and lightly clenched toward the lake within inches of it. Several strands of water twisted like a spiral, gathering in her palm into a long whip, which she swung against the Green Sun Fire Sword Light.


    With a ¡°bang¡±, water splashed and the high temperature turned Wenren Xuewei¡¯s water whip into a mist of water vapor, enshrouding half of the lake in a hazy water mist.


    Chen Mobai and Wenren Snow Veil¡¯s figures flickered simultaneously in an instant.


    Sounds of water dragons humming sounded in the lake, the lake¡¯s water seemed to have sprung to life, transforming into partially transparent water dragons that emerged from the mist. With the wild and vast power of waves, they attacked the figure in the mist, who was shrouded in reddish-black color, just like breakers crashing against the shore.


    In the surging sound, a bright arc of sword light swiftly slashed around the reddish-black figure. The moment it came into contact with the sword light, the three water dragons that had just rushed in were evaporated into a cloud of mist.


    Yet the water dragons seemed endless. Under the control of Wenren Snow Veil¡¯s hands, they rose one after another like puppets on strings, continuously plummeting down on Chen Mobai.


    Zizzling!


    A faint sound of electric current echoed in the ears of the spectators, followed by a thunderclap out of the blue. A thick, green thunder pillar shot into the sky, resembling a huge thunder sword. With a wave of Chen Mobai¡¯s right hand, it completely evaporated about twenty or thirty water dragons that Wenren Snow Veil had accumulated.


    The lightning, like a pillar of a sword, annihilated the group of water dragons, then slanted and fell like a collapsing tower, slashing towards the hazy girl standing in the mist of the lake.


    However, a clear wave of water lit up on her golden ring at the tip of her fingers, giving off a shimmering bluish light as if the sea was glistening under the morning sun.


    The Yi Wood Divine Thunder fell on the wave, and the ocean swallowed it up without a trace in an instant.


    At this moment, a greenish-gold point of light lit up at the very center of the mist, and then like a bullet being shot out, crossed the entire circle of the arena in a blink of an eye. Just as Wenren Snow Veil had just controlled the Rank-3 magic artifact and the internal spiritual power operation had slightly lagged, it pierced into the right shoulder of the girl in the green dress.


    As this sword penetrated, Wenren Snow Veil¡¯s body, as if hit by a huge impact, abruptly plunged into the bottom of the lake, causing a spray of water.


    Without the enhancement of the Lasting Spring Cultivation¡¯s spiritual power, the mist covering the stage could no longer be maintained, revealing the figure of Chen Mobai who has just flicked his flying sword with his right hand at the center.


    However, after landing this penetrating strike, his expression did not show the joy of victory.


    There seemed to be confusion and puzzlement in his eyes.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°Did he defeat his opponent so quickly again?¡±


    ¡°No, that¡¯s not right. If he had won, Battle Law Victory would not hide his emotions.¡±


    ¡°So he hasn¡¯t won yet? But that sword obviously pierced Wenren Snow Veil, could it be that there was some protective charm blocking that sword?¡±


    While the spectators were discussing heatedly, Lou Fengcheng¡¯s Guidance Book was already in motion, simulating the mysterious exchange between Chen Mobai and Wenren Snow Veil with his left eye on Chen Mobai, and his right eye on Wenren Snow Veil.


    Out of everyone present, only Ding Chundzhi seemed surprised and enlightened.


    ¡°So this is the Lasting Spring Cultivation!¡±


    Next to him, the heir of The Divine Machine Mansion, who had changed into Astral Observation Academy uniform, muttered to herself. She too saw a trace of what¡¯s happening.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai spoke up. He looked at Wenren Snow Veil, who was sent to the bottom of the lake by his sword stroke, and beckoned with his right hand.


    The ¡®Gliding Sparrow¡¯ hairpin, refined by him to respond to his will, lit up with a greenish-gold light, slowly bringing a intact Wenren Snow Veil out of the water surface.


    The ¡®Gliding Sparrow¡¯ hairpin indeed stabbed into Wenren Snow Veil¡¯s right shoulder. Her green dress on the shoulder was burned by the Green-sun Fire carried by the sword light, exposing a section of her white, round, and smooth shoulder.


    But there was no blood.


    The ¡®Gliding Sparrow¡¯ hairpin is visibly still stuck in Wenren Snow Veil¡¯s shoulder!


    ¡°My Lasting Spring Cultivation is only at the first level, so I can only maintain a state in which my body remains unchanged and unharmed.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    While Wenren Snow Veil was speaking, she reached out to pull out the ¡®Gliding Sparrow¡¯ hairpin stuck in her right shoulder, and at this point, everyone finally saw the bloody glow from the wound after the hairpin was pulled.


    However, it immediately seemed as if time was reversing, the wound disappeared, and the area where the sword mark had appeared, the skin returned to its sleek and delicate state.


    If it wasn¡¯t for witnessing it with their own eyes, no one would believe that she was stabbed by Chen Mobai¡¯s sword earlier.


    ¡°If my sword just now was stuck in your head, could you recover as well?¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai asked with curiosity.

 Chapter 534 - Chapter 534: Chapter 361: Standing on an Undefeated Ground_1

    Chapter 534: Chapter 361: Standing on an Undefeated Ground_1


    ¡°That¡¯s for you to discover.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei smiled faintly, and with her right hand clenched in thin air, arches of flowing water rose from the surface of the lake and solidified into a crescent-shaped water-edged weapon in her palm.


    In the splashing sound.


    The water blade rushed forward as if the water was roaring, and in a moment, it had slashed to within an inch of Chen Mobai¡¯s sight.


    Faced with such an attack, Chen Mobai merely lifted his right little finger, and Earth Sword Glow erupted, easily smashed the water blade, and continued with grandeur, split into three, stabbing at Wenren Xuewei¡¯s forehead, heart, and dantian ¨C three vital areas of the human body.


    However, representing the wood attribute, a green spiritual light lit up on the surface of Wenren Xuewei¡¯s body, transforming into a phantom tree branch that spiraled and wrapped around the three Earth Swords, eventually shattering them.


    But after the Earth Sword Glow was restrained, Chen Mobai had once again driven the Flying Sparrow Hairpin. The Green Sun Fire Sword Light, resembling a line of fire from far and near, burnt the phantom branches and once again stabbed towards Wenren Xuewei.


    However, this time, it was aimed at the Sea of Knowledge at the center of her eyebrows.


    ¡°So ruthless!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a friendly fight, don¡¯t use such deadly moves!¡±


    ¡°Someone stop them. If it really causes a fatality, there will be big trouble.¡±


    The Foundation Establishment True Cultivators in the surrounding audience all changed their faces when they saw Chen Mobai¡¯s ruthless moves.


    Even Wenren Xuewei¡¯s face changed slightly at this moment, she didn¡¯t expect that the man in front of her was not joking.


    The Tonghai ring emitted a blue water light, transforming into a water shield that covered Wenren Xuewei¡¯s face, blocking the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    Hisss Hisss Hisss!


    At this moment, golden sword lights rushed over like a storm, stabbing into various parts of Wenren Xuewei¡¯s body with a thunderous momentum. They were supposed to be the crucial points of the human body.


    The internal organs, twelve meridians, and the most crucial Dantian Qi Sea¡­


    ¡°This guy¡¯s sword glow, it¡¯s flowing a little too smoothly between transformations.¡±


    On the platform of the Mountain and Sea Academy, Pei Qingshuang watched Chen Mobai use earth, fire, and gold attribute sword lights to probe for weaknesses in her friend Wenren Xuewei¡¯s Long Lasting Cultivation. Her moves flowed flawlessly, causing Pei Qingshuang to show a puzzled face.


    ¡°As expected of the Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s top student, I guess in the past hundred years, you and senior sister Pei have the strongest swordsmanship talents in the immortal path.¡±


    Linghu Xian, the top student of this term in the Mountain and Sea Academy, is also a sword cultivator who practices Geng Metal Sword Technique. Seeing how smoothly Chen Mobai¡¯s three attributes of Sword Light transformed, even the typically arrogant Linghu Xian couldn¡¯t help but admire.


    ¡°How does his Geng Metal Sword Light compare to yours?¡±


    Pei Qingshuang suddenly asked Linghu Xian this question, to which he immediately shook his head, indicating he was inferior.


    ¡°I have only just begun to grasp my Geng Metal Sword Light. I can only use it and I¡¯m not at all able to compare with this battle law victor.¡±


    Linghu Xian was a tenth grader, with a cultivation level of the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment. But because he mastered the Sword Light, he was regarded as the Sword Cultivation Genius of the Mountain and Sea Academy in the past sixty years, second only to Pei Qingshuang.


    With the powerful attack power of the Sword Light, even in the Little Red Sky, Linghu Xian soared to fame. Some people even thought he might become the second Battle Law Victor.


    Originally, Linghu Xian still had a bit of wild hope, feeling that with some effort, he might be able to replicate Chen Mobai¡¯s invincible record in the Little Red Sky.


    After all, they both were sword cultivators who had mastered the Sword Light, and his cultivation level was even a bit higher.


    But today, he finally understood.


    There is indeed a difference between one genius and another.


    While he was complacent because he had mastered one type, this Battle Law Victor of the Dance Tool Dao Academy had already mastered five types. Moreover, they were of five different attributes, and he had no flaws in his Sword Dao, making him a perfect sword cultivator.


    ¡°No, this Sword Dao realm has already transcended the word ¡®genius¡¯.¡±


    However, Pei Qingshuang noticed the discord in this. She was known as the most outstanding genius in the Mountain and Sea Academy for the past hundred years. Even Sword Dao Grandmaster Hao Cao had nothing but praise for her talent.


    He believed that she could surpass him in the future and become the first sword cultivator to reach Nascent Soul Formation in the past several hundred years.


    But even with her swordsmanship talent, she had only mastered two types of Sword Light to date.


    Chen Mobai, who has a lower realm than her, has mastered five types of Five Elements Sword Light. This kind of talent can¡¯t be described as a genius anymore. I¡¯m afraid even the White Light Ancestor of the immortal path, a Divinity Transformation Sword Cultivator, was like this when he was the same age.


    Could it be, he is truly a Divinity Transformation person!?

    Or is there some yet undiscovered key point?


    As Pei Qingshuang pondered, her eyes narrowed, and she watched the battle scene on the lake surface even more attentively.


    Chen Mobai looked at Wenren Xuewei, whose green dress had been pierced by his Geng Metal Sword Light but her body did not have a single wound. Her skin remained snow-white, smooth and delicate, even her vitality did not show any signs of weakness and was at its peak.


    ¡°You blocked the flying sword aimed at your Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, but you didn¡¯t care about the Geng Metal Sword Light stabbing at other parts of your body. It seems that the only weakness of your Great Spring Cultivation is the head.¡±


    While Chen Mobai spoke, Wenren Xuewei gave a faint smile. She lightly stroked her Sentence Mang Fairy Green Shirt, and the parts of it cut open by the Sword Light began to mend themselves like extending branches.

 Chapter 535 - Chapter 535: Chapter 361: Standing on an Undefeated Ground_2

    Chapter 535: Chapter 361: Standing on an Undefeated Ground_2


    In a flash, her skirt was left undamaged.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you would figure it out all at once, but there¡¯s one thing you got wrong. Although my Lasting Spring Cultivation is just at the beginning stage, and my Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion can¡¯t remain stable and unharmed, the reason I blocked your Flying Sword is because there is a powerful Spirit Talisman within my Divine Sense. If your Sword Light invaded and triggered the backlash of this talisman, leading to your defeat, it would make this spar rather pointless.¡±


    Hearing Wen Renxue Wei¡¯s words, Chen Mobai thought of the Rank-5 Wood Spiritual Talisman mentioned by Qing Nu and was somewhat taken aback.


    However, he never intended to truly harm Wen Renxue Wei¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, as this was just a spar after all.


    Even if Wen Renxue Wei hadn¡¯t used the Tonghai ring to block the Flying Sword earlier, he would have redirected it towards another part of her body.


    ¡°I believe that the state of being unharmed maintained by your Lasting Spring Cultivation can¡¯t last long, right?¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Mobai summoned the Flying Sparrow Hairpin back to the palm of his hand with a wave.


    ¡°You can try again, maybe I won¡¯t last a few more minutes.¡±


    While Wen Renxue Wei said these words with a smile still on her face, Chen Mobai¡¯s fighting instinct could sense that he seemed to have overlooked something very important.


    [Should I use the Sword Sha technique?]


    [I wonder if the sustain blood effect of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter could break her constant state created by the Lasting Spring Cultivation?]


    [No, let¡¯s test again.]


    Within a moment, numerous thoughts and tactics flashed through Chen Mobai¡¯s mind, but in the end, he decided not to rashly use his best card before fully understanding the limits of the Lasting Spring Cultivation.


    Then, Chen Mobai was sure.


    Wen Renxue Wei, was indeed the fiercest rival he had ever faced within the same realm.


    No wonder Lan Haitian couldn¡¯t subdue her. After mastering Lasting Spring Cultivation, Wen Renxue Wei was invincible against any opponent she faced.


    However, what Lan Haitian couldn¡¯t achieve, Chen Mobai might be able to.


    Facing an unbeatable opponent, Chen Mobai could finally stop restraining himself.


    With a sizzling sound, a red lightning burst out from his left hand.


    Upon seeing the sight of the Thunder method, Wen Renxue Wei instinctively activated the Tonghai ring, and a surge of water light solidified into a barrier. But after taking action, she suddenly realized that this was not the Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder, but the Rank-2 Bing Fire Divine Thunder.


    However, once the Rank-3 Magic Artifact was activated, she couldn¡¯t call it back, so she gritted her teeth and used the water light barrier to block the red lightning.


    As this Magic Artifact was not her own, there would be a gap after each use by Wen Renxue Wei.


    Boom!


    After using the Bing Fire Divine Thunder to exhaust the Rank-3 Magic Artifact, Chen Mobai activated the Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    The wild Thunder Essence in his palm was as gentle as water, being condensed into a fierce Thunder method that suddenly burst out, piercing Wen Renxue Wei who had no other option but to resist with her physical body.


    Nevertheless, Chen Mobai showed mercy.


    The fierce Thunder method slightly deviated, avoiding the originally targeted Qi Sea in the Dantian, and instead opened a hole in the graceful curve of Wen Renxue Wei¡¯s right waist and abdomen.


    Then, the Yi Wood Divine Thunder exploded, spreading through Wen Renxue Wei¡¯s body from the wound on her waist and abdomen.


    With such an injury, even a foundation establishment expert focused on Body Forging at the state of Perfection would likely lose their fighting ability on the spot.


    However, the power of the Lasting Spring Cultivation surpassed Chen Mobai¡¯s expectation.


    Although Wen Renxue Wei¡¯s physical body was rendered a mess by the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, she managed to endure until the activation gap of the Tonghai ring. A clear water light lit up from the golden ring surface, pouring into her body, suppressing and expelling all the raging Thunder Essence outside of her body.


    Amid the sizzling sounds!


    Chen Mobai was unyielding. He raised three fingers on his right hand, and the Divine Wood, Geng Metal, and Green-sun Fire Sword Qi were shot out in parallel.


    Among them, the Green Sun Fire Sword Light was attached to the Flying Sparrow Hairpin. Alongside the support of the Spiritual Fire, its power was at the peak of Rank-2.


    Alone, it could collapse Lu Qiulong. Among those present, few could confidently withstand it.


    Wen Renxue Wei had just driven out the Rank-3 Thunder method, and the fist-sized hole in the waist and abdomen area had only recovered by half. Once again, she was pierced by Chen Mobai¡¯s three Sword Lights into the spleen, liver, intestines, and lungs.


    In an instant, the Five Elements within Wen Renxue Wei¡¯s body started to imbalance.


    However, she remained incredibly calm. Her right hand crystallized a thin layer of Water Essence, acting like a transparent glove. At this critical moment, she was able to grab the Flying Sparrow Hairpin which was aimed at her liver and gallbladder.


    Even though the Green Sun Fire Sword Light still penetrated a part of her body, she managed to minimize the physical damage.


    Chen Mobai once again maneuvered his right hand. The remaining Green-sun Fire in front of him suddenly spread and burned, forming several green-red Flame Chains stretching out from the void, each binding Wen Renxue Wei¡¯s neck and limbs.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Then, his Divine Sense exploded, wielding the Fire Chain Technique, trying to pull Wen Renxue Wei off the duel platform.


    Splash!


    As expected, Wen Renxue Wei couldn¡¯t stand up to Chen Mobai¡¯s entire set of tactics. Her not yet fully recovered delicate body was dragged as though being towed behind a water motorbike, leaving a trail of white foam on the lake surface. It appeared as though she was about to leave the dueling platform.


    ¡°Wood God, assist me!¡±


    With a soft shout, Wen Renxue Wei formed a seal with her left hand, a complex and precise restriction spreading in her palm.

 Chapter 536 - Chapter 536: Chapter 361: Standing on an Undefeated Ground_3

    Chapter 536: Chapter 361: Standing on an Undefeated Ground_3


    Immediately following, two thick roots extended from the bottom of the water. The strong Wood Yuan Force surprisingly surpassed the suppression of properties, forcibly crushing the chain of flames formed by the Green-sun Fire. Afterwards, it grasped Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s slender legs, pulling her back to the center of the stage.


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai finally realized what he had overlooked.


    The Void Spirit Eye lit up, and under the circumstance that Wen Ren Xuewei did not conceal anything, he saw the connection she had established with the Big Tree to transport energy.


    With the influx of pure and powerful Wood Yuan Force, Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s body, which was full of wounds caused by Chen Mobai, seemed as if time was rewinding. The fist-sized hole at her waist slowly shrunk and eventually became smooth, snow-white skin again.


    As Wen Ren Xuewei lightly waved her hand, the Sentence Mang Fairy Green Shirt also returned to its original state.


    The two branches released her legs, and she gracefully landed, standing atop the lake¡¯s surface while frowning slightly. She rubbed her waist and abdomen, where she¡¯d been wounded earlier. It seemed that the pain hadn¡¯t completely faded yet.


    At this time, all the watching True Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment stage were looking at Wen Ren Xuewei as if watching a monster.


    Just now, any person would probably need emergency aid with that kind of injury.


    Bian Jingchun estimated that if she were beaten up by Chen Mobai like that, she would probably be left with a last breath.


    But Wen Ren Xuewei was like in Little Red Sky, as if she was going back in time.


    She looked as if she¡¯d just gotten off the platform to fight with Chen Mobai: elegant and clean, not showing the terrible injury she¡¯d just sustained, which was almost half of her physical body.


    ¡°So, your constant state is not consuming your own power.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the energy link between Wen Ren Xuewei and the Big Tree and knitted his eyebrows.


    He could understand the Lasting Spring Cultivation Technique¡¯s constant state of immunity to physical harm, but he judged that this state must consume a tremendous amount of spiritual power.


    He had previously thought that with Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s Real Cultivation at the Perfection stage, even if she was practicing the Divinity Transformation Technique, she would have at most 300 drops of Liquid Spiritual Power. As long as he injured her physical body multiple times, he could wear her down until she could no longer maintain this state.


    Besides, Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s use of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact would consume a significant amount of spiritual power.


    But he didn¡¯t anticipate that the energy source for Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s constant immunity to physical harm would be this Big Tree.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this a bit too cheeky.¡±


    Chen Mobai extended his hand and called to retrieve the Flying Sparrow Hairpin from Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s palm. But a tree branch flew out from the lake, wrapping around and suppressing the Flying Sword.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s because I have the geographical advantage that I can do this. Once the Lasting Spring Cultivation is achieved, I have already formed a link with the Wood God. Even in the farthest place from the Immortal Gate, or even in the outer space, I can use the power of the Wood God to maintain my constant state of immunity to physical harm.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei explained with a smile, saying even more astonishing words that shocked everyone present.


    ¡°Lan Haitian and I didn¡¯t fight here, but he still couldn¡¯t do anything about my Lasting Spring Cultivation. This is the reason.¡±


    [I wonder if the link between the Lasting Spring Cultivation and the Big Tree will still work if there is a world¡¯s distance between them?]


    This question flashed through Chen Mobai¡¯s mind, though he was certain he wouldn¡¯t ask it.


    He looked at Wen Ren Xuewei. Under the Void Spirit Eye, he was looking for possible flaws and finally found something different about his opponent than before.


    ¡°The power of the Big Tree can maintain your state of not being physically harmed, but controlling the Rank-3 Magical Artifact or even maintaining the link between you and the Big Tree still needs to consume your own spiritual power and divine sense.¡±


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯ve figured it out.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s face showed surprise, but she stood in the middle of the stage, her demeanor still relaxed.


    ¡°That is to say, the key to this exchange of pointers lies in whose spiritual power and divine sense will be exhausted first.¡±


    After seeing through it, Chen Mobai nodded, approving his correct choice of not using the Sword Sha.


    Because the use of Sword Sha consumes too much spiritual power.


    Wen Ren Xuewei has an unlimited health bar, but her attack and defense spells are average.


    In other words, as long as he adopts the correct tactic, he can exhaust her spiritual power and divine senses.


    His Five Elements Sword Light won¡¯t be restrained by any attribute, it can even counter Wen Ren Xuewei¡¯s earth, water, and wood spell.


    It¡¯s not impossible to win this duel.


    Despite pondering a lot, only a moment had passed. After reconfirming his tactics, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t waste any more spiritual power and divine senses on controlling the Flying Sparrow Hairpin to escape.


    He stood on the surface of the lake, the Five Elements Sword Light on his right fingertip ready to go, but he didn¡¯t make a move first.


    ¡°Never mind. How about we call this a draw between us?¡±


    After Chen Mobai took a defensive counterattack stance, Wen Ren Xuewei was stunned for a moment. Then, realizing that the current Battle Law Victory had grasped the key to their duel, she thought about it and didn¡¯t make another move. Instead, she proposed an approach that everyone found both surprising and sensible.


    A draw is permissible in an offline duel.


    And it¡¯s the best choice under the current circumstances.


    ¡°So be it.¡±


    With both sides in agreement, the duel ended in a draw.


    But no one thought the draw was questionable.


    While Wen Ren Xuewei had completed the Lasting Spring Cultivation, she certainly did not want to experience that kind of injury, filled with wounds, again.


    And Chen Mobai, unable to break this, the most difficult entry level cultivator¡¯s technique of the Immortal Gate, could only accept the draw.


    ¡°Your Sword Dao realm isn¡¯t one where one sword breaks all techniques, is it?¡±


    Just when Chen Mobai turned around to leave, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s voice rang out from above.


    ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t expect someone to be able to notice.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked up and smiled slightly.


    The realm of ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting¡± was what he deliberately wanted to reveal, in order to solidify his standing as an exceptional Sword Cultivation Genius.


    It¡¯s just that there weren¡¯t many connoisseurs.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    It was only after going through Ling Daoist Master, Lu Qiulong, and fighting with Wen Ren Xuewei today that Pei Qingshuang, the person with the highest Sword Dao Realm on the scene, noticed something.


    ¡°No wonder with such a realm, you have such a formidable combat power.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s confirmation, Pei Qingshuang, who had always been haughty, looked serious for the first time.


    But their conversation left everyone else at the scene confused.


    Only Lou Fengcheng seemed to have thought of something, his face turning pale.

    Chapter 537: Chapter 362: Qualification of Deification_1


    ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting! I should have thought of it earlier!¡±


    During the conversation between Chen Mobai and Pei Qingshuang, Lou Fengcheng finally ascertained the crucial piece of information. He started, his face aghast, drawing curious glances from those at his side from the Repairing Heaven Institute who were in Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°What is Sword Light Shapeshifting? Is it a sword technique?¡±


    At the neighboring platform of the Primordial Elemental Academy, Tao Mingqing asked outright.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Sword Dao Realm!¡±


    ¡°Realm? Among the Nine Realms of Sword Dao, there doesn¡¯t seem to exist ¡®Sword Light Shapeshifting¡¯?¡±


    As one of the most popular professions in the immortal world, the Nine Realms of Sword Dao are well-known to most. Tao Mingqing had never heard of ¡®Sword Light Shapeshifting¡¯ before.


    ¡°Sword Light Shapeshifting is not part of the Nine Realms of ¡®One Sword Breaks All Laws¡¯. Instead, it lies on the route of ¡®One Sword Spawns All Laws¡¯.¡±


    ¡°One Sword Spawns All Laws? It seems familiar.¡±


    Although in the immortal world, only Jiedan Sword Cultivators would come into contact with and understand the information about ¡®One Sword Breaks All Laws,¡¯ Lou Fengcheng and Tao Mingqing, who were among the most elite students in the Daoist Academy, had heard about this content from extensive extracurricular reading.


    In particular, for Lou Fengcheng, the cultivation of the ¡°Guidance Book¡± involves a lot of knowledge accumulation. The more he learns, the more powerful this Cultivation Technique.


    When he was exploring the practice of sword cultivation, he delved into the Nine Realms of ¡®One Sword Breaks All Laws.¡¯ By association, he learned about the obscure ¡®One Sword Spawns All Laws¡¯ and remembered this formidable sword path proven to reach the pinnacle of achievement, albeit extremely arduous.


    ¡°¡®Sword Light Shapeshifting¡¯ represents the entry point of ¡®One Sword Spawns All Laws.¡¯ If one gets the chance, they can venture further along this path. The Elder Bai Guang succeeded by treading this path and used his Primordial Spirit to Accompany the Sword.¡±


    At the moment when everyone was brimming with doubt, Lou Fengcheng calmly voiced a sentence that drastically changed their expressions.


    ¡°The path of Divinity Transformation!¡±


    ¡°This guy is terrifyingly powerful.¡±


    ¡°No wonder he, with only third-tier Foundation Establishment, can overpower all of us. It turns out he has Elder Bai Guang¡¯s talent.¡±


    ¡°His talent is the best in Sword Dao in the last thousand years in the immortal world!¡±


    Listening to Lou Fengcheng, the more than a hundred Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who were already apprehensive about Chen Mobai¡¯s combat strength, entirely accepted the reality of being inferior.


    It would be normal for them to lose. If they could beat him, wouldn¡¯t that mean that Elder Bai Guang¡¯s reputation was unearned?


    However, while these Foundation Establishment True Cultivators accepted it, Xiahou Weihuan and others from the Foundation List, Chen Mobai¡¯s potential opponents in the next few days, couldn¡¯t.


    Although they were also the prides of their respective schools, they had only hoped to achieve Core Formation up till now, with the more ambitious ones merely aspiring to the ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± stage.


    But now, the guy in front of their eyes had the Deity Form.


    No wonder he dared to challenge the most elite Foundation Establishment True Cultivators of the immortal world alone. Without such a spirit, he really couldn¡¯t achieve Divinity Transformation.


    [Although ¡®Sword Light Shapeshifting¡¯ merely signifies stepping onto the path of ¡®One Sword Spawns All Laws,¡¯ the combat ability of this realm is not as good as that of ¡®Sword Light Solidifying Demons¡¯ of the same realm. I can still win!]


    Xiahou Weihuan consoled himself inwardly in this manner. As the only swordsman on stage second to Pei Qingshuang and Chen Mobai, he too was aware of ¡®One Sword Spawns All Laws,¡¯ but he just hadn¡¯t considered it earlier.


    But now, even if Chen Mobai was formidable, Xiahou Weihuan wouldn¡¯t admit defeat.


    And besides, he had practiced the top-tier Primordial Yang Sword Evil. In a face-to-face battle, unless he were against Wei Ni Xuewei, a monster with Unlimited health, he was confident he could beat any opponent in the same realm.


    ¡°Next, it¡¯s your turn to spar with him. Do you want to admit defeat?¡±


    Tao Mingqing, noticing that Lou Fengcheng looked somewhat troubled, jokingly asked.


    ¡°¡®Sword Light Shapeshifting¡¯ just indicates that he has stepped onto the path of ¡®One Sword Spawns All Laws.¡¯ In the thousands of years of the immortal world, there have been numerous sword cultivators of this realm, but in the end, only Elder Bai Guang managed to attain the Primordial Spirit Accompanying the Sword.¡±


    Under Tao Mingqing¡¯s tease, Lou Fengcheng actually felt calmer, and he regained his usual demeanor.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, even if he has the qualifications for Divinity Transformation, what¡¯s the big deal? Brother Lou, you have practiced the ¡®Guidance Book,¡¯ and Elder Qian Xing also reached Divinity Transformation with the ¡®Guidance Book.¡¯ By comparison, Brother Lou also has the qualifications for Divinity Transformation.¡±


    A Foundation Establishment True Cultivator from the Repairing Heaven Institute flattered.


    Amongst the Dual Sages of the Immortal World, Qian Xing and Bai Guang,


    Qian Xing descended from the Primordial Elemental Academy and was admitted to the Repairing Heaven Institute for further studies after graduation.


    During this period, he acquired the heritage of the ¡®Guidance Book¡¯ that established his foundations for Divinity Transformation.


    Therefore, saying that Lou Fengcheng, who practiced the ¡®Guidance Book,¡¯ had the qualifications for Divinity Transformation was not problematic.


    However, Lou Fengcheng himself was clear-headed. He knew that he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to win this fight.


    But to pave the way for his allies, he decided to step up.

    Even if he were to lose, he would drag the fight out as long as possible.


    The longer the duel, the more information the ¡®Guidance Book¡¯ could gather, making it easier to deduce the opponent¡¯s weaknesses.


    [You must have achieved Sword Sha, right?]


    Xiahou Weihuan was still glaring at Chen Mobai, when he abruptly heard Lou Fengcheng¡¯s utterance. His eyes widened.


    [The ¡®Guidance Book¡¯ is indeed extraordinary. You even managed to spot that.]

 Chapter 538 - Chapter 538: Chapter 362: Qualification of Deification_2

    Chapter 538: Chapter 362: Qualification of Deification_2


    After all, they are now allies. Without hesitation, Xiahou Weihuan agreed.


    ¡°Meet me at the usual place tonight. I¡¯ll revise our tactics. Mingqing and I will pave the way for your duel. I hope your Sword Sha won¡¯t disappoint us.¡±


    Upon hearing Lou Fengcheng¡¯s words, Xiahou Weihuan confidently clenched his fists and declared with an assertive tone.


    ¡°If I lose, I will never use a sword again!¡±


    ¡­


    Naturally, Chen Mobai knew nothing about the alliance between his opponents. However, even if he knew, he wouldn¡¯t care.


    After all, there wouldn¡¯t be another Wen Renuxue.


    The power of the ¡°Guidance Book¡± lies in information. Although he had already made moves five times, his biggest trump card Sword Sha had not been revealed. Lou Fengcheng was doomed to fail against him.


    Although Tao Mingqing ranked fifth on the Foundation List, Chen Mobai thought his actual strength might not be better than Lou Fengcheng¡¯s. Only his foundation might be a bit stronger that¡¯s why Ding Chundzhi ranked him above Lou Fengcheng.


    Qi Huanzhi had also practiced a part of the ¡°Six Sovereign Scriptures,¡± but Chen Mobai was confident he could break it with his Sword Sha.


    Xiahou Weihuan couldn¡¯t defy his Sword Sha either.


    Only Pei Qingshuang gave Chen Mobai a bone-piercing sensation of Sword Intent during their eye-contact. Given that even Lan Haitian was unwilling to fight with her, it was clear that she is another strong enemy who can force him to go all out.


    He just didn¡¯t know if she was as resilient as Wen Renuxue. He hoped she wouldn¡¯t shatter at the first touch.


    After considering all the opponents to come, Chen Mobai and Wen Renuxue left the stage and returned to their academy¡¯s platform.


    ¡°Wen Renuxue had held back.¡±


    The moment Chen Mobai arrived, Chi Shicheng spoke out.


    ¡°Oh? What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Here, she could utilize the power of the Big Tree, but she didn¡¯t. Maybe she thought the victory would be unmerited if she used it. Or perhaps she wanted a fair battle with you.¡±


    After hearing Chi Shicheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai realized that seemed to be the case.


    At the beginning of this offline skirmish, Wen Renuxue stated that she could suppress anyone with the power of Big Tree.


    However, during the battle with Chen Mobai, she only commanded this power when she was about to get dragged off the lakeside platform, and crushed the ¡°Fire Chain Technique¡±.


    ¡°Jialan, ask Sister Wen Renuxue when she¡¯s free. I want to invite her for dinner.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought that this matter could be discussed in person.


    But as a man, abruptly inviting a woman and being refused would damage his pride. So, he asked Zhuang Jialan to test the waters first.


    ¡°No need to ask now, do it when I leave.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai watched two more duels of his Academy¡¯s contestants on the platform.


    Zhongli Tianyu effortlessly won, but Jiang Yuyuan faced an opponent from the Five Thunder Academy who is a fourth-tier foundation establishment. Although she was his fan, she didn¡¯t hold back during the duel and decisively defeated him.


    As Zha Jianbai was preparing for his turn, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t stay to watch and as per his routine, withdrew early.


    After a while, he received Zhuang Jialan¡¯s message.


    Wen Renuxue was having tea at the Qu Shui Pavilion in the evening; Chen Mobai could find her there if needed.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Qu Shui Pavilion?¡±


    In the Elixir Refining Room, Chen Mobai asked Qing Nu.


    ¡°On the west side of Wood God Island, there are many pavilions extending from the island. These act as our cultivation rooms. Qu Shui Pavilion is one of them. However, it seems to be exclusively reserved by Sister Wen Renuxue. You¡¯re going there today?¡±


    Halfway through, Qing Nu suddenly realized what was happening and turned to look at Chen Mobai with wide eyes.


    ¡°Yes, when I dueled with Wen Renuxue today, her Lasting Spring Cultivation was indeed powerful, forcing me to a stalemate. However, I have some doubts about that match, so I want to seek advice from her.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hide anything from Qing Nu and told her the truth.


    ¡°You drew with Sister Wen Renuxue!?¡±


    Qing Nu found it hard to believe. As someone who once experienced the intricacies of Lasting Spring Cultivation, she had a clear understanding of the power of this Divinity Transformation.


    With an unbeatable stand from the start and fighting next to the Big Tree, even Lan Haitian would likely not be a match for Wen Renuxue.


    ¡°It was something like a draw. However, Chi Shicheng suggested she might have held back. That¡¯s what I¡¯m intending to ask tonight.¡±


    Qing Nu took a deep breath, looking up and down at the handsome young man before her once again.


    Although she knew he was capable back in Red Sandstone City, she never would have thought that even Wenren Xuewei, who had mastered Lasting Spring Cultivation, couldn¡¯t suppress him.


    The title given to him by the Red Robe Daoist was indeed accurate.


    Battle Law Victory!


    ¡°Make it a quick trip.¡±


    Qing Nu couldn¡¯t think of a reason to dissuade Chen Mobai from seeing Wenren Xuewei, so she could only say these four words.


    ¡°What do you want to eat for late night snack? I¡¯ll bring it back for you.¡±


    ¡°Bring more barbecued meat. I think I¡¯ve been too thin lately.¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit stunned by Qing Nu¡¯s words.


    ¡°Oh, alright.¡±


    He was just saying, but she actually took it seriously.


    Qu Shui Pavilion.


    When Chen Mobai arrived, he found it wasn¡¯t just Wenren Xuewei there.


    ¡°Greetings to the two senior sisters.¡±


    In addition to Wenren Xuewei with her waterfall-like green tresses and long green robe, there was also a cool, exceptionally beautiful woman with snow-white skin.


    Both were sitting drinking tea, likely of the same rank; hence, calling them senior sisters was surely correct.


    ¡°Originally, Cui¡¯er was here too, but she worried that if she met with you in advance, the Sword Intent she¡¯d been nurturing might be triggered by you, so she didn¡¯t come.¡±


    ¡°Cui¡¯er¡­ who is that?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked when he didn¡¯t understand.


    ¡°Cui¡¯er is Pei Qingshuang. Her original name was Pei Cui. After she got possession of Qing Shuang Sword, she changed her name to Pei Qingshuang for a perfect fit with the sword.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei smiled and spoke up, then pointed to an empty seat indicating for Chen Mobai to sit down.


    ¡°I see. After fighting with Senior Sister Wenren, the only one I look forward to fighting against among the remaining opponents is Senior Sister Pei.¡±


    Once Chen Mobai sat down, he spoke his mind.


    ¡°What do you want from me?¡±


    ¡°Did Senior Sister hold back today?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wenren Xuewei, who was pouring tea, paused her motion and looked at him with a puzzled eye.


    ¡°Why do you think so?¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke of Chi Shicheng¡¯s judgment and Wenren Xuewei nodded her head in understanding.


    ¡°You could say that. But don¡¯t assume I have perfect control over the Big Tree. The constant state of Lasting Spring Cultivation is an agreement between our Jumang Daoist Academy¡¯s ancestor and the Big Tree. I can passively use its power, but if I want to actively harness the Big Tree¡¯s power, I need to actively consume my own Spiritual Power and Divine Sense.¡±


    ¡°After fighting with you, I¡¯ve already experienced the pain of almost being riddled with holes. Even if I barely suppressed you with the power of the Big Tree, I¡¯d probably have to lay low for a year or so afterward.¡±


    ¡°If you were a mortal enemy, I would be willing, but it isn¡¯t necessary for just a competition. Moreover, Jumang and your Dance Instruments Academy are brother schools with thousands of years of friendship.¡±


    Upon hearing Wenren Xuewei¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai was enlightened.


    At this moment, she handed him a cup of green tea, which Chen Mobai immediately accepted.


    ¡°However, considering the friendship between the two academies, you, as a junior brother, did not show any mercy to me. When I was pierced on the stage, I was so angry that I almost couldn¡¯t help but fight back.¡±


    Chen Mobai could only laugh awkwardly in response, took a sip of his tea and changed the topic, while still complimenting her.


    ¡°Senior Sister is wise and just, far beyond my reach. By the way, I haven¡¯t heard the name of this senior sister yet?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I¡¯m Yan Qiongzhi, I often hear Xuan¡¯er talking about you.¡±


    Before Wenren Xuewei had introduced her, Yan Qiongzhi had already spoken up.


    ¡°So it¡¯s you, senior. Back in Red Sandstone City, you were veiled. Today, I have seen your astounding beauty, I didn¡¯t recognize you at first ¨C my apologies.¡±


    At this, even Wenren Xuewei couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°You little fellow, why do you talk in the same tone as those old officials?¡±

 Chapter 539 - Chapter 539: Chapter 363 Sword Sha Takes Action_1

    Chapter 539: Chapter 363 Sword Sha Takes Action_1


    Listening to Wenren Xuewei¡¯s words, Chen Mobai gave an embarrassed smile.


    It¡¯s just a family education.


    ¡°Did you know that Butian and Kunpeng have teamed up with many experts from various academies, and they seem to be targeting you?¡±


    Wenren Xuewei mentioned the invitation from Lou Fengcheng, although the latter did not specifically say what it was, but thinking carefully, she could guess what it was about.


    ¡°It¡¯s not worth mentioning.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave a faint smile, had some tea and chatted with the two older senior sisters for a while before taking his leave.


    Having met for the first time and getting to know each other, this friendship might have room to develop if they have the chance to meet again in the future.


    Of course, Chen Mobai did not forget to exchange contact information with the two women.


    ¡°How do you feel about him?¡±


    After Chen Mobai left, Wenren Xuewei suddenly asked Yan Qiongzhi.


    ¡°A good junior.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi nodded lightly, a symbol of approval.


    ¡°If you fight with him, can you win?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll only find out after we fight, but after watching his last two magic duels, I can say he has a chance to beat me.¡±


    Her words caused Wenren Xuewei¡¯s face to become slightly serious.


    Others may not know how terrifying the Gold Core Domain is, but she clearly understood from her own battles with Lan Haitian and Yan Qiongzhi. Although she was able to withstand them by using the Lasting Spring Cultivation technique, she could only maintain it to avoid defeat.


    ¡°Younger generations will do better than us. But with such outstanding juniors, I can now focus on Core Formation.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei sighed and made a decision.


    Hearing her words, a look of envy appeared in Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Congratulations on your upcoming Core Formation.¡±


    As the most difficult Divinity Transformation technique to master in the Immortal Door, the key feature of Lasting Spring Cultivation is not for fighting, but for utilizing a constant force to repeatedly explore and cross major realms.


    For other cultivators at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, attempting Core Formation not only requires them to adjust their essence, qi, and spirit to their peak condition, but also to find a suitable Spirit Vein that matches their cultivation technique and prepare Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine before they dare to take this step carefully.


    Even so, the majority of them end in failure.


    The consequences of a failed core formation are even more terrifying than a failed Foundation Establishment. Most of them would end up with a Fake Pill collapse, with the lighter injuries falling back to the later stage of Foundation Establishment, and the more severe ones possibly resulting in broken meridians, shattered Dantian, and being critically injured.


    Even for those with light injuries, it would take at least twenty or thirty years to recover.


    However, practitioners of Lasting Spring Cultivation don¡¯t have such worries.


    As long as they maintain their unharmed state before the breakthrough, even if they fail at Core Formation, their physique would not suffer any damage. The most that could happen is a drop in their realm.


    However, for Immortal Door cultivators, rebuilding spiritual power is the simplest task, as long as there¡¯s an ample supply of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.


    Lasting Spring Cultivation is essentially a critical method for Foundation Establishment.


    But compared to methods that only work for Foundation Establishment, Lasting Spring Cultivation can be used at any breakthrough, whether it¡¯s a minor realm or a major realm, it ensures that the body remains unscathed even after a failed breakthrough.


    Therefore, after Wenren Xuewei mastered the Lasting Spring Cultivation technique, everyone considered her unimpeded in Nascent Soul Formation.


    While Yan Qiongzhi needs to plan meticulously for Core Formation and even borrow the powerful Water Vein from the Jumang Daoist Academy, Wenren Xuewei can choose anywhere to conduct Core Formation.


    However, those who have mastered the Lasting Spring Cultivation technique strive for perfection during realm breakthroughs.


    Failing this time is not a problem, as long as they discover the reason for failure.


    They don¡¯t fear death, and after several attempts, they can achieve successful Core Formation naturally, just like Wenren Xuewei¡¯s Foundation Establishment, and thus achieve the highest quality Gold Core.


    Wenren Xuewei has tried Core Formation twice before, but both attempts were unsuccessful.


    Originally, she planned to wait another ten years for Zong Zi to grow up and succeed her as the figurehead of the Jumang Daoist Academy at the Foundation Building Realm.


    But seeing Chen Mobai, who is such a genius, she felt that grinding in the current realm was meaningless.


    After all, Jumang and the Dance Instruments are intertwined, and Chen Mobai can also be considered a representative of Jumang.


    ¡°I¡¯ve estimated that I¡¯ll need one or two more attempts at Core Formation to succeed.¡±


    Hearing this, Yan Qiongzhi looked at Wenren Xuewei with eyes full of envy, and the latter realized that saying this in front of her best friend might have been showing off a bit.


    She couldn¡¯t help but stick out her tongue in a playful manner and suggested.


    ¡°You can ask Ding Chundzhi to predict your luck to see the success rate of your Core Formation. Although he is timid by nature, his skills in divination are indeed the true teachings of the Astral Observation Academy.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi thought for a while and nodded.


    Even she, a distinguished person who has achieved the Gold Core Domain, felt a subtle lack of self-confidence when facing the huge obstacle of Core Formation.


    Under such circumstances, many cultivators of the Immortal Door would choose to have their fortune told.

    The next day.


    When Chen Mobai arrived at the lake-island, he found that the ten arenas were still empty.


    ¡°You did a good job yesterday.¡±


    While on the platform of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai first complimented Zhuang Jialan, but pointing at the empty lake below, he looked confused.


    ¡°Ever since your duel with Wenren Xuewei, no one dares to enter the arena before you¡¯ve completed your match each day,¡± she explained.

 Chapter 540 - Chapter 540: Chapter 363: Sword Sha Acts Out_2

    Chapter 540: Chapter 363: Sword Sha Acts Out_2


    Bian Jingchun shrugged his shoulders, revealing something that Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to do that. I might just be a few hours late one day. There is only so much time in a day, and it doesn¡¯t make sense to waste it waiting for me.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made the people of Dance Tool Daoist Academy exchange glances. It was rare to see someone shirking responsibilities so openly.


    But Zhuang Jialan was used to it.


    In the student union, they barely saw this president throughout the year.


    ¡°Lou Fengcheng is watching you.¡±


    Sun Daoji reminded him, Chen Mobai nodded, then locked eyes with Lou Fengcheng. Both of them flew down from the platform and landed on the lake surface.


    In the midst of the rumbling sound,


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t bother with pleasantries, he directly cast a Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder at Lou Fengcheng¡¯s face.


    Faced with such an attack, Lou Fengcheng activated his Guidance Book. Golden threads of light in his left eye traced a three-dimensional image of Chen Mobai.


    He then gently waved his Colorful Cloud Sleeve with his left hand. A rainbow of light rose and formed a shield against the green bright sky thunder, casting it into mid-air.


    ¡°Eh, a Rank-3 magical robe!¡±


    Chen Mobai noticed that the robe worn by Lou Fengcheng has actual-like cloud patterns at the cuffs and collar. Emerging from his white robe, they floated leisurely around him, forming a strong defensive power.


    ¡°First, seal the Thunder method, then let¡¯s see if I can break through his Sword Light!¡±


    After activating the Guidance Book, all distractions and emotions in Lou Fengcheng dissipated, and he started to calmly work towards his pre-fight goal.


    That was to defeat his current opponent!


    With his Rank-3 Colorful Cloud Robe in a pre-activated state, Lou Fengcheng drew a long, thin blade from his sleeve. The blade¡¯s radiance was clean and in the blink of an eye, he unleashed an invisible blade momentum dozens of meters long, which fell towards Chen Mobai¡¯s head.


    Upon recognizing the gold effect from the sword light using his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai quickly cast a Green Sun Fire Sword Light.


    Fire defeats metal. The moment the blade light came in contact with the sword light, it began to shatter inch by inch.


    But Lou Fengcheng, holding the blade, had already rapidly rushed in front of Chen Mobai. With a horizontal slash, he drew a brilliant streak of cold brightness along the lake surface.


    With a ding sound,


    Chen Mobai pointed his Flying Sparrow Hairpin at the blade, and sparks began to sputter.


    In a mere instant, both of them backed away.


    Lou Fengcheng¡¯s body seemed to have no recoil at all. By the time Chen Mobai had adjusted his position, he had already picked up his blade and lunged once more.


    In a hissing sound, Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye captured the trajectory of Lou Fengcheng, the hairpin was shot from his fingertips, the green-sun fire sword light¡¯s power surged dramatically, and after crushing the blade¡¯s light, it also plunged into his opponent¡¯s shoulder.


    But the studded Lou Fengcheng instantly split into four, much like Ling Daoist¡¯s final strike against Chen Mobai earlier. The four figures crisscrossed with their blades, rushing toward Chen Mobai standing in the center from all sides.


    Moreover, these four blade lights each had different attributes.


    Chen Mobai frowned slightly, knowing his Sword Light Transformation realm, with the subtlety of the Guidance Book, he shouldn¡¯t be making such ineffective attempts.


    Just blade lights.


    He had a bad feeling and didn¡¯t use his routine Five Elements sword light. Instead, he launched the Yi Wood Divine Thunder once more.


    However, this time he didn¡¯t increase its power to Rank-3.


    Although this move might fool Wen Renxuewei, it couldn¡¯t fool Lou Fengcheng who had activated the Guidance Book. But just as the latter¡¯s four figures lifted their blades intending to obliterate this Rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Chen Mobai smiled slightly.


    Before the thunder roared and lightened, the three-dimensional figure of Chen Mobai in Lou Fengcheng¡¯s left eye suddenly brightened up.


    The Guidance Book had caught on to this key point.


    The power of Yi Wood Divine Thunder rose from Rank-2 to Rank-3.


    Lou Fengcheng¡¯s emotions remained unchanged. He immediately halted, and the figures merged into one, the Rank-3 Colorful Cloud Robe triggered, once again completely blocking the Green Bright Thunder Light which Chen Mobai had abruptly escalated.


    At the same time, Lou Fengcheng swung the blade on his right hand backward.


    With a tingling sound,


    The Flying Sparrow Hairpin, carrying the Green Sun Fire, was deflected by the blade. Like a shooting star, it drew a beautiful arc in the air and returned in front of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°So this is the Seamless Book of Square Inches!¡±


    Amidst his admiration, Chen Mobai compared Lou Fengcheng to his previous opponents.


    He might not be as powerful as Lu Qiulong, not as advanced as Wen Renxuewei, but he did a better job than both of them when facing Chen Mobai.


    You could even say that he is the first one to make Chen Mobai feel a sense of difficulty.

    When Ling Daoist used the Guidance Book previously, it was the same. However, his power and realm were inferior to Chen Mobai, resulting in his defeat.


    But Lou Fengcheng, who had already achieved Perfection in Foundation Establishment, might be somewhat inferior to entities like Lu Qiulong and Wen Renxuewei in terms of power and realm but still superior to Chen Mobai.


    After activating the Guidance Book, relying on the data he had collected from Yi Wood Divine Thunder and Five Elements Sword Light in the previous battles, he truly demonstrated flawlessness, without any loopholes.


    Should I resort to using Sword Sha?


    Chen Mobai contemplated this question. At this time under the absolute focus state of the Guidance Book, Lou Fengcheng had already drawn his blade to attack again, and this time he surprisingly used another different blade technique.

 Chapter 541 - Chapter 541: Chapter 363 Sword Sha makes a move _3

    Chapter 541: Chapter 363 Sword Sha makes a move _3


    The blade¡¯s aura swept across the lake, transforming into a myriad of water-hued sword edges that enveloped the entire battlefield where the two were clashing.


    Chen Mobai spread out the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± on his wrist to protect himself, in the face of this extensive attack.


    At the same time, Lou Fengcheng split into five, slashing out bright blade flashes. He attacked from five directions¡ªfront, back, left, right, and underneath the lake¡ªtoward Chen Mobai¡¯s body.


    Fortunately, although Chen Mobai¡¯s agile movements were not up to par, the flexibility of his fingers, refined with five drops of Tree Juice, was faster than Lou Fengcheng¡¯s blade flashes.


    The Five Elements Sword Light burst forth, precisely crushing the five blade flashes, and pierced into the five clones of Lou Fengcheng.


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai suddenly looked up.


    He saw the sixth Lou Fengcheng, like a transparent water man amidst the myriad of water-light, slowly appearing in the vacuum under the sunlight. The tender long sword transformed from transparent to sparkling and crystal-clear, carrying a bone-chilling cold, thrusting towards Chen Mobai¡¯s eyebrow¡¯s Sea of Knowledge.


    ¡°Well, under the Guidance Book¡¯s state, all battle consciousness is tilted towards the fastest victory over the enemy.¡±


    This was the first time Chen Mobai witnessed an opponent attacking his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion during a spar. Earlier, only he knew that Snow Willow could not be killed and had dabbled in this area.


    Compared to the gentleness of other Cultivators, Lou Fengcheng, after using the Guidance Book, completely turned into a ruthless battle machine.


    This attack was fast, accurate, and ruthless. There wasn¡¯t enough time to redirect the Sword Light.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes suddenly contracted. He did not resort to his most potent tactics, instead employed Divine Sense to unleash the fastest ¡°Divine Slash¡± with his gaze.


    If the Divine Slash could stall the opponent¡¯s Divine Sense, even if just for a moment, he could redirect the sword, and have the five-colored Sword Light stab towards the semi-transparent opponent above him.


    The Flying Sparrow Hairpin chirped and also under the control of Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense, it ignited a clear streak of fire, ready to unleash the next wave of attack.


    However, for these tactics to work, it was imperative that the Divine Slash took effect.


    Lou Fengcheng¡¯s semi-transparent figure was entirely visible under Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye, and two invisible, formless mind-blades also cut into the former¡¯s gaze.


    But as soon as the Divine Slash cut halfway, strands of golden lines lit up in Lou Fengcheng¡¯s eyes, tying up the invisible mind-blades like a sky net.


    Information about the Divine Slash had been revealed during previous spars.


    In the Guidance Book state, Lou Fengcheng was ready for all of Chen Mobai¡¯s tactics.


    Unable to execute Divine Slash within Lou Fengcheng¡¯s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, the following maneuvers naturally became ineffective.

    Seeing Lou Fengcheng¡¯s sparkling and clear transparent long sword almost touching Chen Mobai¡¯s eyebrows, the spectators gasped, faces wrought with disbelief.


    Could it be that this undefeated Battle Law Victory was really going to lose?!


    Then, they saw a thumb-sized Sword Pill radiating a splendid light, flying out from Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth.


    It was like a sun erupting on the lake surface, causing all Foundation Establishment True Cultivators¡¯ eyes to go blind in that instant, forcing them to close their eyes.


    But before they closed their eyes, they all saw a beam of brilliant light soaring into the sky. After annihilating Lou Fengcheng¡¯s transparent long sword, it effortlessly pierced through the defense of the Celestial Cloth, and aboard Lou Fengcheng¡¯s shoulder, which could not maintain its transparency, it burned a fist-sized bloody hole.

 Chapter 542 - Chapter 542: Chapter 364: Everyone Bows Down_1

    Chapter 542: Chapter 364: Everyone Bows Down_1


    ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡±


    Lou Fengcheng¡¯s injured body fell from the sky. Under the effects of the Guidance Book, despite his expressionless face, his body¡¯s instinct still made him cough up blood.


    [My Heavenly Resplendence Garment is a Rank-3 magical robe, it can even block a Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder, why couldn¡¯t it block his sword light just now?]


    Because Chen Mobai had not exhibited the Green Flames Sword Slaughter in the past, Lou Fengcheng didn¡¯t have this information in his database. He still saw the azure light as sword light, only that it had elevated to the Rank-3 level.


    But even powerful sword light should not be able to breach my Rank-3 magical robe easily!?


    [Fortunately, he avoided my vital organs. My injuries are not severe, and I can still maintain my peak state using the power of the Guidance Book¡­]


    Lou Fengcheng raised his hand to cover the bloody hole in his right shoulder, with colorful lights pulsating in his palm. He intended to stop the bleeding first, and then forcibly stimulate his body¡¯s potential through the Guidance Book for the final attempt.


    A hissing sound!


    The palm that had just been placed on his shoulder was suddenly pierced by an azure light.


    Under the effect of the Guidance Book, Lou Fengcheng¡¯s face and gaze remained unchanged.


    He lifted his palm, and the strand of azure light, like a spark of flame, started burning at the wound. It turned into a scorching heat wave that flowed through his blood vessels, making his whole body boil in an instant!


    At a sudden sound.


    A clear flame ignited on Lou Fengcheng¡¯s shoulder and palm, making it seem as if his body was burning from the inside. His flesh and blood became fuel, and the fiery heat began to gush out from his wound.


    The Guidance Book, which had been suppressing the various negative states of his weakened body, pain, burning sensation, and so on, suddenly deactivated at this moment.


    Lou Fengcheng¡¯s left eye, in which the three-dimensional golden model of Chen Mobai had collapsed, twisted his face in an instant. He collapsed onto the surface of the lake in agony, opening his mouth to gulp down the lake water as if he was a dragon sucking water.


    ¡°Oh, the Guidance Book is quite smart, right? Did it detect that you would die if you continued to maintain the ¡®Seamless State¡¯? ¡±


    This was the first time Chen Mobai used the Sword Sha against an opponent in reality, and Lou Fengcheng was the first victim of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    It appears that the Sword Sha¡¯s power is much stronger than he had imagined.


    The Rank-3 Heavenly Resplendence Garment was pierced, which was the effect of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter¡¯s ¡®Burning¡¯ and ¡®Armor-Piercing¡¯. In addition, this magical robe seemed to be primarily of the water attribute, which probably made it extremely vulnerable.


    After the Sword Sha entered the body, Lou Fengcheng initially felt that his injuries were not serious. However, under the continuous effects of ¡®Blood Burning¡¯ and ¡®Searing Heat¡¯, he soon felt his blood boil.


    If it weren¡¯t for the exceptional Guidance Book, which removed the Seamless State at a critical moment, Lou Fengcheng probably wouldn¡¯t stop fighting until all his internal organs were cooked and his vitality was depleted.


    ¡°Is this¡­ Sword Sha!?¡±


    On the platform of the Astral Observation Academy, Ding Chundzhi, who had been idly observing, could not help but exclaim in shock.


    Upon hearing his words, the hundreds of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, who were still in awe of the power of Chen Mobai¡¯s sword light, were all dumbfounded, looking at the handsome young man standing in the center of the lake with disbelief.


    On the Pure Yang Academy¡¯s side, their Chief was stunned, his rigid face turned to look at Xiahou Weihuan, whose face was ashen.


    He was the first person in the field to recognize the Sword Sha.


    But he didn¡¯t want to admit that there was a second Foundation Establishment True Cultivator who could cultivate Sword Sha besides him.


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    Pei Qingshuang, who had always been confident in herself, shook her head. Her eyes were also filled with disbelief.


    No one knew better than her the difficulty of condensing Sword Demons.


    Not to mention the Qi of the Sword Sha, just refining one¡¯s sword light to perfection, giving it a spiritual nature, and the consciousness and body being able to withstand the backlash of the Sword Sha, are not things that a Foundation Building Realm Sword Cultivator can achieve.


    Pei Qingshuang could do three of them, but her body¡¯s strength was not adequate to take the hit of Sword Sha entering the body.


    After all, the power of Sword Sha was Rank-3, and although she was a rare genius and never lacked resources, managing to cultivate a Rank-3 Body Training Technique at the Foundation Building Realm was still beyond her ability.


    On the Big Tree Academy platform, Wenren Xuewei¡¯s mood was uncertain as she confirmed that it was Sword Sha.


    [If he had used this Sword Sha against me, could I withstand the pain of my body burning and my blood boiling?]


    Although Wenren Xuewei was confident that she could ignore the destructive power of Sword Sha with the help of Lasting Spring Cultivation, she knew that her Divine Consciousness was limited. If the physical pain from multiple injuries exceeds her limit, she might also faint.

    [If I truly activate the power of the Big Tree¡­]


    Wenren Xuewei imagined a scene where she was fighting against Chen Mobai, who was using Sword Sha to his full potential. She found that, fortunately, she had taken the initiative to make a truce yesterday, otherwise, they might actually have ended up in a stalemate.


    Even if she could use the power of the Big Tree to suppress the power of the Sword Sha, her Divine Consciousness would definitely exceed its limit and she would faint.


    Little did she know that Chen Mobai actually had more than one Sword Sha.


    After the Guidance Book stopped running, Lou Fengcheng¡¯s reason returned. He drank a layer of lake water, relieving the internal burning sensation. However, the terrible burning feeling that seemed to consume his life made him feel weak all over.

 Chapter 543 - Chapter 543: Chapter 364 All Bow Down_2

    Chapter 543: Chapter 364 All Bow Down_2


    ¡°Doctor!¡±


    Upon seeing the withered appearance of Lou Fengcheng, even the skin began to dry and crack, the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from Repairing Heaven Institute could no longer bear it. Two of them jumped off their platforms and yelled loudly towards the Imperial Medical Academy.


    ¡°The contest hasn¡¯t finished. According to the rules, we can¡¯t interfere yet.¡±


    But the two people from the Imperial Medical Academy, though standing on the edge of the platform, looked hesitant. After glancing at Chen Mobai, they said something that made the True Cultivators from the Repairing Heaven Institute frustrated yet helpless.


    ¡°I¡­surrender¡­¡±


    The hierarchy within Repairing Heaven Institute was strict, Lou Fengcheng knew that the two juniors would not dare to admit defeat on his behalf. However, after regaining rationality, he no longer clung onto his dignity, raised his hand with the last bit of his strength, and gave in.


    Upon hearing this, the two students from the Imperial Medical Academy breathed a sigh of relief. They descended to Lou Fengcheng¡¯s side, quickly checked his condition, only to awkwardly ask Chen Mobai for help.


    ¡°Chief Chen, we need you to expel the power of this Sword Sha, only then can we help.¡±


    At these words, Chen Mobai gave a light nod, his right hand slightly clenched, streaks of transparent yet red flames emerged from the wound on Lou Fengcheng¡¯s shoulder. It was as if threads of fire coalesced in his palm.


    The strands of blood-red mist that accompanied the Sword Sha disappeared over the lake, evaporating. The resulting Sword Pill was once again transparent like pure jade, emitting a danqing-colored brilliance.


    Then, in front of everyone¡¯s astounded eyes, Chen Mobai opened his mouth and swallowed the Sword Pill!


    ¡°This competition winner, could he be a Rank-3 Body Cultivator!?¡±


    It is common knowledge that Sword Sha is a Rank-3 power and among the most formidable of Sword Cultivator techniques. To endure and nourish it with one¡¯s body, the minimum requirement would be the Rank-3 Body Forging Realm.


    ¡°No, his body is not that strong. Compared to his thunder method and sword dao, one might even say it is a weakness.¡±


    Lu Qiulong, who had had a bout with Chen Mobai, slowly shook his head, giving a conclusive answer.


    ¡°It¡¯s due to a perfectly compatible spiritual body with the power of Sword Sha! It should be a ¡®Fire Spirit Body¡¯. Having a constitution like this, the power of Sword Sha isn¡¯t a burden, but rather nourishes the Fire Spirit Body. As the Fire Spirit Body becomes stronger, it can in turn nourish the Sword Sha, making it even more powerful.¡±


    The one who said this was a cultivator at the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment from Five Thunder Daoist Academy.


    Being renowned for body forging in the Cultivation World, they were the most scholarly in the understanding of different spiritual bodies.


    After witnessing Chen Mobai swallowing the Sword Sha with no change in expression, and even looking slightly ruddy, as if he was replenished with vitality, after a moment of contemplation, they arrived at the most accurate conclusion.


    ¡°Chief Chen, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need for our spar tomorrow. I am no match for you. I admit defeat.¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was preparing to turn and leave, Tao Mingqing¡¯s voice suddenly sounded. This genius from Primordial Elemental Academy showed a bitter smile. Standing on the platform, he clasped his hands at Chen Mobai, conceding defeat.


    ¡°Oh, sparring with me is a rare opportunity. After all, there is no risk to life, are you really going to give up?¡±


    Chen Mobai did not expect that upon the release of his Sword Sha, not only did he defeat the seamless Lou Fengcheng, but even made Tao Mingqing willingly admit defeat.


    Though winning without a fight is good, he had intended to use his upcoming opponents to hone his practical application of Sword Sha in battle. Tao Mingqing, being ranked above Lou Fengcheng, would surely have been a worthy opponent.


    ¡°I practice the Five Elements Cultivation, merely having a solid foundation. When it comes to magic duels and real fights, even the two opponents you previously had would surpass me.¡±


    ¡°Originally, I thought I could support myself for a while relying on the comprehensive Five Elements Techniques and thus raise the prestige of Primordial Elemental Academy. But once your Sword Sha was out, I went through all the techniques that I have practiced and found none that could withstand it.¡±


    ¡°Since I¡¯m going to lose anyway, why should I suffer more pain on the stage? I might as well give up in advance.¡±


    Tao Mingqing said with a helpless look. If he could fight, or if there was even a glimmer of hope, he wouldn¡¯t be willing to concede at this stage.


    But the problem is, that was Sword Sha!


    And it clearly carries the power to pierce through armor. Although he also had borrowed a Rank-3 Magic Artifact, he wasn¡¯t confident that it could withstand the Sword Sha.


    Even if he could protect himself from it, what if the Magic Artifact suffered damage from the Sword Sha attack? Wouldn¡¯t that be even worse?


    Even if he managed to repair it and returned it, he would probably be chastised by the academy¡¯s administration.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I accept your concession.¡±


    Seeing Tao Mingqing speak thus, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t exactly force him to fight. He could only regretfully nod.


    Truth be told, he was quite interested in testing the Five Elements Cultivation of the Foundation Building Realm.


    The fact that Tao Mingqing could be listed fifth in the Foundation List due to his cultivation technique suggests the depth of his skill in it, likely learned directly from his idol, Senior Qing Ping.


    However, it seemed that he inherited the character as well. As soon as he realized he couldn¡¯t win, he shamelessly conceded right away.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze then shifted towards the Kunpeng Daoist Academy.


    After Tao Mingqing¡¯s resignation, Qi Huanzhi would be his next opponent.


    Should he fight, or also surrender?


    All eyes followed Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze towards Qi Huanzhi. Standing on the platform, Qi Huanzhi calmly pondered for a moment, finally let out a sigh, and shook his head.


    Though he had the confidence to resist the power of the Sword Sha to some extent, his major restriction was that his Big Light Shield was suppressed by Chen Mobai¡¯s fire attribute Sword Sha.


    To withstand the Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder, he must use the Big Light Shield.


    Over the past few days, they had been present at all of Chen Mobai¡¯s magic duels and knew that his application of thunder methods and sword laws was masterful and refined, as if tempered through a thousand hammers and hundreds of trials, allowing for seamless transitions that were smooth and fluid.


    If he used the Big Light Shield to resist the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, and Chen Mobai suddenly unleashed the Green Flames Sword Sha, even if he could resist somewhat with the mysterious six Yu Jingming parts, the ultimate outcome would still be defeat.


    Moreover, his beloved Big Light Shield, which he had practiced with for a long time, would probably suffer significant damage under the devastation of the Sword Sha.


    After considering all the circumstances, despite Qi Huanzhi¡¯s desire to confront Chen Mobai in order to experience the terror of this Battle Law Victory himself, he ultimately chose to withdraw.


    It was just a friendly competition. If he loses, it¡¯s no big deal to concede the title of Academy champion.


    In any case, the Daoist Academy would lose to the Daoist Academy. It¡¯s not shameful.


    The reason he chose to join forces with Lou Fengcheng before was because Qi Huanzhi could still see a chance to defeat Chen Mobai. He believed that by all-out effort, the Six Yu Jingming parts plus the Big Light Shield might not be without hope of victory.


    But now, with the emergence of the Sword Sha, everything has changed.


    This was the power of a Rank-3 Sword Cultivator!


    His and Tao Mingqing¡¯s thoughts were alike, it was not necessary to risk their lives for Xiahou Weihuan.


    ¡°I¡¯m no match for you.¡±


    As soon as Qi Huanzhi said this, although most people had anticipated this, hearing it for real still left them stunned.


    ¡°However, I still want to fight you once. After this time, if you have time, would you accept an invitation for a private magic duel in the Little Red Sky?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was somewhat taken aback by Qi Huanzhi¡¯s surrender, the latter suddenly made another proposition.


    Hearing this, Bian Jingchun cast a pitying look at Qi Huanzhi.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Without any constraints in the Little Red Sky, Qi Huanzhi stood even less of a chance, but since he saved face, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement, considering the numerous kindnesses he had received from Lan Haitian.


    ¡°I won¡¯t surrender. Kid, don¡¯t think you¡¯re the only one who has cultivated the Sword Sha!¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze reached the Pure Yang academy, Xiahou Weihuan laughed haughtily.


    At the same time, a striking orange light flashed in his eyes. An overwhelming sharpness and heatwave spread out, making everyone on the platform unable to stand and retreat one after another.


    Sword Sha!


    Xiahou Weihuan, indeed, was the only genius comparable to Nangong Xuanyu in the Pure Yang Academy over the past three hundred years, and he too, had cultivated Sword Sha.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯ve cultivated the Primordial Yang Sword Sha!¡±


    Seeing the familiar orange light in Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s eyes, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised.


    ¡°Your Sword Sha should be Qingyang Sword Sha, right? Qingyang Sword Jue is a subordinate sword technique evolved from Primordial Yang Sword Secret. I¡¯ll show you how weak your Sword Sha is in front of my pure and orthodox Primordial Yang Sword Sha.¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s confident words made Chen Mobai look puzzled.


    He could not help but lower his head and stroke the yellow skin gourd at his waist.

 Chapter 544 - Chapter 544: Chapter 365 Two Sword Shas_1

    Chapter 544: Chapter 365 Two Sword Shas_1


    ¡°Senior Sister Wen, since my opponents have given up, there¡¯s not much left. How about we finish the two remaining matches today so I don¡¯t have to run back and forth every day?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about it and, to avoid being discovered by the Guidance Book over the next two days about the weak points of his Sword Sha, decided to settle the matches against Xiahou Weihuan and Pei Qingshuang today.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have enough confidence right now to overpower you. You can do as you wish.¡±


    Unexpectedly, Wenren Xuewei responded with a smile, saying something that took everyone by surprise.


    Reflecting back on the beginning, the confident words from Jumang, the face of Foundation Establishment from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai¡¯s remarkable prowess far exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations.


    ¡°However, you¡¯ve just experienced an intense Magic Duel. You should rest a while and recuperate your Spiritual Power and vitality.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei gave another suggestion. Chen Mobai was confident of defeating Xiahou Weihuan, but he knew that any tiny detail could change the outcome, so he nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Our battle will still be on the last day.¡±


    At this moment, Pei Qingshuang suddenly spoke up.


    ¡°I need two days to awaken the sword.¡±


    As Pei Qingshuang spoke, he lifted the Qing Shuang Sword from his waist. The longsword, which looked very ancient and elegant, showed no signs of being a Rank-4 sword from its exterior.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in acknowledgment. He had heard of the Qing Shuang Sword, and he was intrigued by its power.


    The Sword Tower of the Dance Tool Dao Academy housed over half of the top-notch Flying Swords in the Daoist world.


    Apart from the Rank-5 Sea-settling Sword, the most famous are Purple Lightning and Qing Shuang, the paired Rank-4 Flying Swords.


    In fact, a TV series was made to tell the story of the owner of these swords.


    These are Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators¡¯ main swords, and combined, their power is incomparable, making it an unbeatable combination in the Nascent Soul stage.


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s agreement, Pei Qingshuang nodded and greeted Wenren Xuewei, then surprisingly left the stage in advance.


    ¡°President, once today¡¯s matches are over, why don¡¯t I give you the True Dragon Ding first?¡±


    After Chen Mobai returned to the platform of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Bian Jingchun worriedly suggested. The Qing Shuang Sword had such a famous reputation that if Pei Qingshuang could truly master the power of this Rank-4 Flying Sword, she would pose a challenge even to Chen Mobai, despite his Power of Sword Devil.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t mastered ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ yet, so even if you give me the True Dragon Ding, I can¡¯t use it.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head in denial. He felt somewhat challenged to control his own Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror. If Pei Qingshuang really could control the Qing Shuang Sword, she¡¯d probably be like Bian Jingchun, only able to manifest a single sword strike.


    Moreover, this strike would definitely not reach Rank-4 power, probably only the peak of Rank-3 at most.


    If that¡¯s the case, it would actually be advantageous.


    However, given Pei Qingshuang¡¯s reputation over the years, things wouldn¡¯t be that simple.


    Among all the opponents encountered during the offline showdown, she¡¯s the only one that made Chen Mobai feel unsure.


    One can only hope for an evenly matched sword fight on the final day.


    After pushing thoughts of Pei Qingshuang out of his mind, Chen Mobai sat on the platform and began to meditate to recover the Spiritual Power and Divine Sense lost during the fight with Lou Fengcheng.


    ¡°Fengcheng, are you okay?¡±


    On the platform of the Repairing Heaven Institute, Tao Mingqing came over and transferred his highly purified Five Elements Water Spiritual Power into Lou Fengcheng, aiding him in recovering from the heavy injuries caused by the burn of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    ¡°Your decision was wise.¡±


    Although Lou Fengcheng looked weak, thanks to the assistance from the Imperial Medical Academy and Tao Mingqing, he was able to whisper a reply.


    [I am dueling with him this afternoon, did your Guidance Book find any flaws?]


    At this moment, Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s message arrived. Lou Fengcheng¡¯s face twitched slightly, as if he did have some insights on countering the Sword Sha.


    But after considering for a while, Lou Fengcheng shook his head. Because of his severe injuries, he couldn¡¯t use the Messaging Technique and hinted Tao Mingqing to pass on the message on his behalf.


    Tao Mingqing was a little surprised upon hearing the message but still nodded.


    He then delivered Lou Fengcheng¡¯s message to Xiahou Weihuan.


    [The four major Daoist Academies are all part of the same tree, we would never work against each other.]


    [What do you mean?]


    Xiahou Weihuan was confused after hearing this.


    [Our cooperation ends here. You should bury the idea of an alliance in your heart, and do not mention it to anyone.]


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Tao Mingqing passed on another message. Realizing that Lou Fengcheng had backed off, Xiahou Weihuan was enraged. He huffed coldly and cursed ¡°coward¡± under his breath.


    ¡°This matter, I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t hide from that person.¡±


    While treating Lou Fengcheng, Tao Mingqing asked, puzzled.


    ¡°For thousands of years, the four major Daoist Academies have been keeping the Daoist world in check through competition and compromise. Losing a round didn¡¯t bother me, admitting defeat is okay, and the Dance Tool Dao Academy won¡¯t hold me accountable.¡±


    ¡°But if I continue to meddle in the affairs of the Pure Yang Dao Academy, that would be disrespectful. On returning, the senior members of the Repairing Heaven Institute might find an excuse to kick me out of the academy in order to smooth over their relationship with the Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±

 Chapter 545 - Chapter 545: Chapter 365: Two Sword Sha_2

    Chapter 545: Chapter 365: Two Sword Sha_2


    ¡°However, it¡¯s a pity that, after this year, for the next sixty years until that person reaches Core Formation, Dance Tool Dao Academy will occupy the position of the top college in the Immortal Sect.¡±


    As Lou Fengcheng said this, his face was filled with regret.


    Lan Haitian had suppressed the Immortal Sect for sixty years at the Foundation Building Realm, allowing the Kunpeng Daoist Institute to enjoy its top spot until now.


    But now, Lan Haitian had gone to Core Formation, and suddenly there was Chen Mobai!


    They originally thought they from the Repairing Heaven Institute would have a chance.


    Now it seems, they are likely to be at the bottom for a while.


    At least, even in front of Wen Renxuewei who had mastered the Lasting Spring Cultivation, Lou Fengcheng had no confidence in victory, he could only maintain a stalemate at best.


    On the Kunpeng Daoist Institute side, although Lan Haitian had gone to Core Formation, there was also Qi Huanzhi, whom Lou Fengcheng also had little confidence in defeating.


    Among the four major Daoist Academies, their Repairing Heaven Institute was unexpectedly at the bottom.


    ¡°Why think so much about it, let¡¯s both put all our energy into Core Formation.¡±


    Seeing Lou Fengcheng¡¯s melancholic mood, Tao Mingqing laughed and made a remark.


    The Primordial Elemental Academy didn¡¯t care about rankings at all. After Qing Ping became the principal, he upheld the philosophy of cultivation realm. Duels like Magic Duel were secondary. The only real principle was to live long.


    ¡°You¡¯re right, Let¡¯s leave the rest to the younger generation.¡±


    Lou Fengcheng, one of the proud figures who once led the Repairing Heaven Institute, quickly got over the bitter defeat.


    If there is no hope of victory, then one should try to make progress and give up one¡¯s position.


    In this regard, Ling Dao is still hopeful, it¡¯s just a pity that he and Chen Mobai are from the same generation, and can only compete for the second place at most.


    ¡°It¡¯s starting.¡±


    At this time, Tao Mingqing said excitedly.


    Lou Fengcheng opened his weary eyes and discovered that Chen Mobai and Xiahou Weihuan had both stepped onto the stage.


    ¡°The sword¡¯s name is ¡®Dancing Sun¡¯, which I personally cast from read copper.¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan raised his red copper sword. The sword handle was round, carved with flame patterns. Though the sword body wasn¡¯t long, only half a meter, it gave people a sense of solemnity and respect.


    In the Immortal Sect, duels between sword cultivators were very ceremonial. Even though Xiahou Weihuan hated Chen Mobai so much that he gritted his teeth, he still followed this traditional sword-chime ceremony.


    ¡°The Sword¡¯s name is ¡®Gliding Sparrow¡¯, a gift from my elders!¡±


    Chen Mobai held the Flying Sparrow Hairpin in front of him. Everyone believed that this flying sword¡¯s origin was from the Treasure Trove, and every magic artifact sealed inside the Device Nurturing Sphere in the Treasure Trove was left by the graduates of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy before they passed on.


    It was perfectly acceptable to say that it was a gift from elders.


    What they didn¡¯t know, however, was that this elder was not from the Immortal Sect.


    ¡°Let me show you the real use of Sword Sha!¡±


    After the sword chime, Xiahou Weihuan said this in a cold tone, then with a clang, he unsheathed his sword.


    In an instant, the red copper of the sword was coated with a layer of orange-red light, as if a layer of clear oil had been splashed on the edge of the sword. Under sunlight, it released a dazzling, blinding light that people couldn¡¯t look at directly.


    With a bang!


    Facing the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, Chen Mobai first used his Yi Wood Divine Thunder as a probe.


    The same Rank-3 power, the green thunder boomed from his palm, and Xiahou Weihuan simply sliced it in half with his sword.


    The thunder column was split in two, making an arc along Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s body, and on the surface of the lake, it evaporated into a series of hazy mists of water.


    With the sound of the sword piercing the air, Xiahou Weihuan had already rushed up to Chen Mobai with his sword in hand.


    With an icy look, he raised his sword and hacked again.


    The red copper sword imbued with Primordial Yang Sword Evil was invincible, slicing open ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, ¡°Fire Chain Technique¡±, and the Five Elements Sword Light.


    It seemed that nothing could stop it.


    Chen Mobai, who was fully aware of the destructive feature of the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, brought out his spirit weapon.


    An ancient bronze mirror emitted a reddish mirror light, as it made contact with the Wuyang Sword.


    The supposedly unstoppable sword suddenly halted.


    ¡°He does indeed have a Rank-3 magic artifact!¡±


    ¡°After all, he¡¯s the top student at the Dance Tool Daoist Academy. It¡¯s normal, only that his previous opponents couldn¡¯t push him to use his magic artifacts,¡± someone remarked.¡±


    ¡°Forget about a Rank-3 magic artifact, given his talent, I wouldn¡¯t be surprised if the Dance Tool Daoist Academy prepared a Rank-4 magic artifact for him.¡±


    The Foundation Establishment True Cultivators watching the battle saw that Chen Mobai took out the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, and all their expressions showed that it was expected.


    Upon hearing the discussion, Bian Jingchun couldn¡¯t help squeezing her fingers.


    Her True Dragon Ding was of no use here at all.


    But who could help it if the top student of their Dance Tool Daoist Academy was so formidable.


    ¡°The sword augmented by the Sword Sha is as powerful as a Rank-3 flying sword. Each of Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s sword strikes is equivalent to a Rank-3 attack, and the consumption of the Sword Sha is greatly reduced because of the sword¡¯s adherence,¡± Chi Shicheng commented, having the most insight and quickly recognizing Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s combat style.


    ¡°Under prolonged attack, this Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, even if it can block the attacks, is likely to hurt the power of its source. And a Foundation Establishment cultivator operating a Rank-3 magic artifact, the consumption of spiritual power is too much. Chen junior brother may be proficient in magic duels, but after all, his realm is lower, and his spiritual power is not enough. He may have to think of other ways,¡± said Sun Daoji, showing concern. Their Foundation Establishment Perfection spiritual power could operate a Rank-3 magic artifact for at most half an hour.


    Xiahou Weihuan clearly understood this, and kept waving his longsword to clash forcefully with the light shield of the mirror.


    Accompanied by a chorus of ¡°ding, ding, ding,¡± Chen Mobai felt the Longevity Spiritual Power he had stored in the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror with the Returning Essence Secret Technique being crazily consumed. Although he could support it for half an hour, he was currently only showing the third layer of the Foundation Establishment, and therefore couldn¡¯t overexaggerate it.


    ¡°It¡¯s about time.¡±


    So, after estimating the time, Chen Mobai spewed out his Qingyang Sword Sha.


    The cyan and green light burst forth like a thunderbolt, shooting directly towards Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s face.


    But Xiahou Weihuan had long been on guard for this move. He swung his sword to block, and the wide sword blade blocked the Qingyang Sword Sha by a hair¡¯s breadth. At the same time, the orange-red Yuan Yang Sword Sha erupted. In this instant, the two powerful but different fire attribute Sword Sha¡¯s started an all-out direct confrontation.


    Clash of Sword Sha!


    In the absence of attribute suppression, it was a competition of which Sword Sha had a higher level and contained more breadth of power.


    Although the Red Flame Sword Jue of the Divine Wood Sect was also one of the perfected and powerful Sword techniques in the hundreds of magic duels, compared with the top-notch Sword Secret of Yuan Yang, which was derived from the Divinity Transformation cultivation technique, it appeared a bit weaker.


    Under the watchful eyes of the onlookers with widened eyes, the cyan and green radiance confronted the orange-red streamer, then the Yuan Yang Sword Sha gradually went over it. It even started to gradually absorb and transform the power of the Qingyang Sword Sha.


    ¡°Ha-ha-ha, the Yuan Yang Sword Sha is the supreme in fire. How can your mere Qingyang Sword Sha compete with me!¡±


    Seeing this scene, Xiahou Weihuan couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter. Just as he gripped the sword with both hands, ready to increase his effort to absorb Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°Qingyang Sword Sha¡± and bestow upon the annoying fellow before his eyes a thorough defeat, he saw Chen Mobai suddenly smile.


    How can you still smile at this!


    ¡°The Yuan Yang Sword Sha is stronger than the Qingyang Sword Sha. I know this better than you, and you don¡¯t need to tell me,¡± Chen Mobai said, in a tone that Xiahou Weihuan found baffling.


    At the same time, Chen Mobai made a strange movement. He dropped his right hand and unscrewed the lid of the yellow gourd bound to his waist.


    An orange-red radiance rose up, gently sweeping over Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s hands.


    Amidst the sudden appearance of blood, Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s arms that held the sword, and the Wuyang Sword, had flown into the sky.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s left hand held two fingers like a sword, as if sword controlling, he sealed off the orange-red light that had severed his opponent¡¯s arms back into the yellow skin gourd. Then he used his right hand to put the lid back on.

    At the same time, he opened his mouth, recondensed the Qingyang Sword Sha into a Sword Pill, and swallowed it back into his belly.


    ¡°Because, I have also cultivated the Yuan Yang Sword Sha.¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai said something that made Xiahou Weihuan widen his eyes in disbelief.


    Two Sword Sha!


    What kind of monster am I battling against!?

 Chapter 546 - Chapter 546: Chapter 366 Enlightenment Tea_1

    Chapter 546: Chapter 366 Enlightenment Tea_1


    Xiahou Weihuan reflected on the hardships he had endured to master the technique of Sword Sha.


    Although he had accomplished the task of condensing the Five Elements¡¯ vital energy with the help of many students from the Pure Yang Academy, the rest of the body forging process was still entirely up to him.


    Originally, he thought as long as he mastered the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, he would be invincible among his peers, leading the academy to victory against the other nine academies and even the Four Daoist Academies, just like his teacher, Nangong Xuanyu.


    But who would have thought that Chen Mobai, whom he had never regarded seriously, would have surpassed even Lan Haitian, mastering not only the Qingyang Sword Devil but also the Primordial Yang Sword Evil.


    Xiahou Weihuan, who knew full well the difficulty of cultivating Sword Sha, felt a sense of despair for the first time.


    Why do such anomalies always appear among the Four Daoist Academies?


    Lan Haitian before, and Chen Mobai now!


    Could it be that the status quo of the Four Daoist Academies is really unchangeable?


    With this profound sense of despair, Xiahou Weihuan collapsed onto the surface of the lake, lost in a trance.


    ¡°Senior Xiahou ¡­Senior¡­¡±


    Suddenly there was a burst of shouting in his ears. Xiahou Weihuan turned his head to see a few students from the Pure Yang Academy. One of them found his severed arms cut off by the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, another held his Wuyang Sword, and someone else was beckoning a student from the Imperial Medical Academy to come over.


    ¡°Senior, please admit defeat,¡± the Chief of Pure Yang Academy spoke with a grieving expression. According to the rules, if Xiahou Weihuan didn¡¯t admit defeat, the medics from the Imperial Medical Academy couldn¡¯t treat him.


    If his severed arms weren¡¯t reattached quickly, it could potentially affect the flexibility of his meridians.


    ¡°Admit defeat!?¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan muttered to himself. He looked up at Chen Mobai, who was still standing opposite him, finally pulling himself from his despair.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to admit defeat!¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s statement somewhat surprised Chen Mobai, who looked up.


    ¡°Oh, so you want to continue fighting? After all, we both come from Pure Yang. I won¡¯t pull any fatal moves in an exchange. If you admit defeat, we can consider this matter settled.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he reached again for the Yellow Skin Gourd at his waist. Hands trembling, a few of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from the Pure Yang Academy stepped in front of Xiahou Weihuan, casting him in their shadow.


    ¡°Senior Xiahou, if your arms are not treated promptly, there could be lasting repercussions.¡±


    Two students from the Imperial Medical Academy also started offering advice. After all, everyone could see now that Xiahou Weihuan was no match for Chen Mobai. To continue the bout was nothing short of seeking his own humiliation.


    ¡°I made a promise that if I lose, I will never wield a sword again in my lifetime. These cut-off arms are perhaps Heaven¡¯s will.¡±


    Xiahou Weihuan glanced at his arms that were severed by Chen Mobai¡¯s Primordial Yang Sword evil, shook his head, and without even looking at his own Wuyang Sword, turned around and left the island in the middle of the lake.


    ¡°Senior¡­¡±


    The Chief of Pure Yang Academy immediately followed with a few others, but Xiahou Weihuan walked even faster and disappeared at the edge of the lake in a blink of an eye.


    ¡°Quite a man of character.¡±


    Atop the Repairing Heaven Institute platform, Lou Fengcheng, whose vitality was slowly returning, spoke with a hoarse voice.


    ¡°What a pity. With his arms ruined, his chances of achieving Core Formation will likely drop by half. All this anger over a mere match just doesn¡¯t seem worthwhile.¡±


    Tao Mingqing looked in the direction of Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s departure, speaking with incomprehension.


    ¡°You and I have no particular attachment to winning or losing, but Xiahou Weihuan is different. His Sword Dao is permeated with a strong faith. It is precisely because of this that he was able to progress by leaps and bounds. If his faith collapses, his path in this life will also come to an end. By upholding his vow, he has retained a glimmer of hope for reaching Core Formation.¡±


    The Guidance Book was most adept at discerning opponents. During the time when Lou Fengcheng was looking for Chen Mobai¡¯s weaknesses, he also had not forgotten to watch those people on the Foundation List who ranked above him. Xiahou Weihuan, who had achieved Sword Sha, was naturally a key observation target.


    Although Lou Fengcheng was not confident of defeating Xiahou Weihuan, he had a pretty clear understanding of Xiahou¡¯s Sword Dao.


    That¡¯s why, of all the people present, he was the one who understood Xiahou Weihuan the best.


    ¡°Why can¡¯t people see through the illusion of fame?¡±


    After hearing Lou Fengcheng¡¯s explanation, Tao Mingqing was even less able to understand and shook his head in disappointment.


    If Xiahou Weihuan had spent a little more time breaking through his realm, ensuring his dominance in the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages, wouldn¡¯t it have been a better option to settle this grudge later on?


    ¡°The final match is coming up. Do you fancy Pei Qingshuang or him?¡±


    Tao Mingqing gestured towards Chen Mobai who had just landed on the Dance Tool Dao Academy platform and asked Lou Fengcheng.


    ¡°If it was before, I would definitely back Pei Qingshuang.¡±


    ¡°So you¡¯re saying now it¡¯s the other way around.¡±


    Seated weakly on the platform, Lou Fengcheng glanced at Chen Mobai and slowly nodded.


    ¡°The Qing Shuang Sword is a Rank-4 sword, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    Tao Mingqing said incredulously.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a hunch.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°A hunch? I thought you guys at the Repairing Heaven Institute always relied on data, dismissing hunches and intuition as being illusory?¡±


    Lou Fengcheng smiled faintly, then closed his eyes and drifted back into unconsciousness.


    ¡­


    ¡°Chairman, you seem to have gone a bit overboard.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan noticed the cries from the Repairing Heaven Institute¡¯s side, saw Lou Fengcheng slumped over Tao Mingqing and the two students from the Imperial Medical Academy rushing over with their medical box, and couldn¡¯t help but whisper.

 Chapter 547 - Chapter 547: Chapter 366 Enlightenment Tea_2

    Chapter 547: Chapter 366 Enlightenment Tea_2


    ¡°I¡¯ve already shown mercy.¡±


    If this were in the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai would have already turned them into dust.


    As for here in the Immortals Gate, he was really restraining himself.


    ¡°But this time, it seems we¡¯ve made quite a big enemy with the Pure Yang Academy.¡±


    Sun Daoji sighed. As a fellow Gold Core Daoist who went to experience the wonders of the sect gates, he was well aware of Xiahou Weihuan¡¯s strength and accepted that he was not his opponent.


    He was originally thinking about how he could lose gracefully during this competition.


    But who would have thought that the chief of their Daoist Academy was a monster. Not any of their so-called elder brothers and sisters were needed to step in; all the opponents were already taken care of.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, our Dance Tool Dao Academy has an even greater background. Pure Yang Academy can¡¯t afford to mess with us.¡±


    Bian Jingchun, on the other hand, looked completely indifferent.


    The Four Major Daoist Academies are transcendent within the Immortals Gate.


    More than half of the top cultivators in the Immortals Gate come from the academies. Unless Nangong Xuanyu had achieved Nascent Soul Formation, the Pure Yang Academy would not be able to have an equal conversation with the Dance Tool Dao Academy, let alone stir up any trouble.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to leave first, see you on the last day.¡±


    Chen Mobai glanced at Lou Fengcheng who was being carried away by Imperial Medical Academy and Repairing Heaven Institute. After confirming with his Void Spirit Eye that he had only fainted due to a lack of essence caused by the overburning of his blood by the Sword Sha, he decided not to linger here.


    ¡°Alright. Oh, by the way, President, teacher Luo says to contact him when you¡¯re free; he seems to have something to discuss with you.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan suddenly remembered something.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t he have my number¡­ Oh, maybe he doesn¡¯t¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai mumbled. He realized that he had never asked for Luo Hezheng¡¯s number. Fortunately, Zhuang Jialan had saved it and forwarded it to Chen Mobai.


    [Teacher Luo, I heard that you¡¯re looking for me?]


    [Yes, there¡¯s a spirit plant that needs some Pure Yang fire spiritual power to mature. But there¡¯s no hurry. We can talk about it after your match.]


    [Alright.]


    The two quickly finished their conversation.


    Chen Mobai made a note of this in his mind and then returned to the Elixir Refining Room and told Qing Nu about it.


    ¡°Mature a spirit plant? Could it be asking you to go to the Medicine Realm to mature the Fire Lingzhi?¡±


    ¡°Medicine Realm? Where¡¯s that?¡±


    Chen Mobai had heard of Fire Lingzhi, one of the easiest spirit plants to cultivate in the Immortals Gate. They range from rank-1 to rank-4, but ordinary people could only cultivate up to rank-2. Only those major pharmaceutical factories had rank-3 and above.


    ¡°Each of the six major pharmaceutical factories has a miniature world left by a Divinity Transformation True Monarch to use as a medicinal field, which we in the Alchemy business usually refer to as the ¡®Medicine Realm¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The Medicine Realm of Jumang Daoist Academy is known as Qingyou Miniature World, and Yangping Miniature World is for the Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    ¡°Spirit plants that have existed in the Immortals Gate for over a thousand years are basically planted in the six major Medicine Realms.¡±


    Chen Mobai was hearing about this for the first time and was amazed.


    No wonder there were only six big pharmacies in the Immortals Gate. It turned out they needed to have their own Medicine Realm to support and grow into a major pharmacy.


    ¡°Can each Divinity Transformation True Monarch open up a miniature world? Wouldn¡¯t there be more than six Medicine Realms considering the large number of Divinity Transformation elders throughout the history of the Immortal Gate?¡±


    ¡°I am not sure about that; maybe other miniature worlds hold even more precious things than thousand-year-old spirit medicines.¡±


    Qing Nu shook her head, indicating that such knowledge was beyond her scope.


    In the Immortals Gate, due to the possession of the treasure-like sect gate, research into the Power of Void was very advanced. Golden Core cultivators could have domains, Nascent Soul cultivators could condense them into territories. These territories were so vast that any of the Immortal Gate¡¯s great cave heavens could be accommodated within them.


    This is why the domains of Nascent Soul cultivators are called cave heavens.


    And for Divinity Transformation True Monarchs, it¡¯s even more incredible¡ªtheir domain cave heavens are said to be indistinguishable from a miniature world.


    ¡°Oh, and I heard from my mentor that the department head has ordered our Alchemy Department to make Enlightenment Tea. This might be the reward for the winner of this competition.¡±


    ¡°Enlightenment Tea? What¡¯s that?¡±


    Due to the assistance of Qing Nu and Wang Xingyu in alchemy for a long time, Chen Mobai was not very familiar with the final product pills and elixirs.


    He had specifically studied herbs, but only to find the equivalent ones in the Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°Do you remember the Soul Awakening Dao Pill?¡±


    ¡°Of course I remember; it¡¯s something I will never forget in my life.¡±


    Chen Mobai would not forget that divine pill, which allowed him to overcome numerous difficulties and become a genius. To be honest, if not for the assistance of this pill in comprehending the threshold technique, he may still not have achieved Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°The Soul Awakening Dao Pill is only useful for Qi Practitioners, while the Enlightenment Tea is an upgraded version of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, as it is effective for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment level.¡±


    After listening to Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai, who was getting a little tired of the discussions, instantly perked up.


    ¡°How long does the effect of this Enlightenment Tea last?¡±


    ¡°Three days.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai already began to arrange the order of the cultivation techniques he needed to comprehend in his mind.


    The effects of the last Soul Awakening Dao Pill were slightly wasted, so this time he was determined to perfectly utilize the three days of sage-like time provided by the ¡°Enlightenment Tea¡±.


    The Pure Yang Scroll, Puppet Factory, content related to a Rank-3 Talisman Maker, All Laws Persona, and the road behind ¡°One Sword Gives Rise to All Laws¡±¡­


    If arranged in such a way, it might turn out that three days are not nearly enough.


    ¡°You Daoist Academy is too stingy, can¡¯t you provide more of this Enlightenment Tea?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Qing Nu roll her eyes and she began to explain to him how precious the raw materials used to make Enlightenment Tea are.


    ¡°It requires the leaves of the Big Tree to be stir-fried using a special method, then cold brewed using Return to Spring Dew, and goes through forty-nine procedures. Numerous alchemists have to consistently supervise it day and night to brew a pot of Enlightenment Tea.¡±


    ¡°A pot? For just three days?¡±


    ¡°Your three days will definitely be a sip of tea, do you really think they¡¯ll give you a pot of Enlightenment Tea? If you drink this for a long time, it can even permanently improve your insight. It¡¯s generally exclusively for the three major Hall Masters of the Immortal Gate, and any extras are reserved by other superior individuals.¡±


    After listening to Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai realized that Enlightenment Tea of this level could only be generally drunk by Nascent Soul individuals.


    As for cultivators at Foundation Establishment getting to drink Enlightenment Tea, either they have a profound background or¡­ they have a profound background.


    ¡°It is said that when Senior Sister Wenren drank three sips of Enlightenment Tea, she comprehended the mystery of Lasting Spring Cultivation and successfully practiced this grand Divinity Transformation technique. The reason Pei Qingshuang could communicate with the Qing Shuang Sword is also because of the Enlightenment Tea.¡±


    When Qing Nu said these words, her tone was slightly longing.


    This is considered one of the most against-the-heaven medicines in the Jumang Daoist Academy, and its annual output is limited. After the Nascent Soul individuals of the Immortal Gate have taken their share, basically there is none left.


    ¡°Are there any special precautions to be taken when drinking Enlightenment Tea?¡±


    Chen Mobai had already claimed this reward to be his.


    ¡°Just find a quiet place where you won¡¯t be disturbed to consume it. Enlightenment Tea also has the effect of enhancing Divine Sense, so be careful not to waste the medicinal effect.¡±


    When Qing Nu first received the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, she also researched Enlightenment Tea.


    ¡°By the way, other than Enlightenment Tea, are there any other rewards?¡±


    ¡°The second prize seems to be a Dalit Flower; the third prize is a pot of Return to Spring Dew.¡±


    Chen Mobai was still unsure about the effects of these two rewards, so he continued to ask Qing Nu.


    The Dalit Flower, when refined into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Palace, can stabilize the mind spirit. It can effectively fend off attacks like Divine Sense backlash and also suppress Heart Demons, etc.


    ¡°This is also a good thing.¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but admire after hearing this.


    Return to Spring Dew is a type of Spiritual Water that enhances Divine Sense.


    The effect is similar to Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, but it is much more focused. Apart from late stage Foundation Establishment practitioners, even early-stage Gold Core cultivators can benefit from it.


    He wanted all of them.


    With such feelings, Chen Mobai spent two days in the Elixir Refining Room.


    When he arrived at the island in the lake, Pei Qingshuang still hadn¡¯t arrived.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai frowned slightly. He planned to finish the fight as quickly as possible.


    However, as it was still early morning, he could only wait.


    To his surprise, almost evening had arrived, and Pei Qingshuang still hadn¡¯t shown up.


    Without Chen Mobai having to express anything, other True Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, who had also been waiting all day, already started to discuss among themselves.


    ¡°Today is the last day, could it be that Senior Sister Pei still hasn¡¯t awakened the Qing Shuang Sword?¡±

 Chapter 548 - Chapter 548: Chapter 367: The Last One_1

    Chapter 548: Chapter 367: The Last One_1


    On the platform of the Jumang Daoist Academy, Zong Zi looked concerned and asked Wenren Xuewei beside him.


    ¡°No, I just wanted to form a positive connection.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei¡¯s puzzling statement was left unanswered by Zong Zi. If it was not for other reasons that they couldn¡¯t arrive, then it was not a concern for them as the organizers.


    ¡°President, the time is almost up.¡±


    Upon hearing Zhuang Jialan¡¯s words in his ear, Chen Mobai took out his phone to check the time.


    It was four fifty in the afternoon.


    The discussion was set from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon, and there was only ten minutes left for the final day.


    Chen Mobai frowned slightly, he did not believe that Pei Qingshuang was avoiding the battle, but why was she not coming?


    However, now was not the time to think about these things. Since he was here today, he had to do something. Without Pei Qingshuang, he could directly challenge the previously overlooked chief of the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    ¡°Elder Zong, I wonder if you could come down for some guidance?¡±


    Chen Mobai was still concerned about the achievement of suppressing the chief students of the three main Daoist academies. Seeing no sign of Pei Qingshuang, he simply challenged Zong Zi directly.


    ¡°I am not a match, consider this my loss.¡±


    Zong Zi did not care about his reputation. After accepting Chen Mobai¡¯s invitation, he simply admitted defeat, perfectly completing Chen Mobai¡¯s series of offline discussions in the Daoist Academy.


    The time soon came to the last minute.


    But Pei Qingshuang still did not appear.


    ¡°This competition officially ends here. The first place in the group category goes to the Dance Tool Dao Academy!¡±


    When the five o¡¯clock bell rang, Zong Zi, as the host, stood up and announced the ranking scores.


    With Chen Mobai and Bian Jingchun, all at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, Dance Tool Dao Academy would be doing something horribly wrong if they didn¡¯t secure the first place.


    Except for the group first, the individual first place, which carries the most weight and acknowledgment in the door of the immortals, still goes to the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°The individual first place will receive a cup of Enlightenment Tea provided by my Jumang Daoist Academy. Chen, the chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, I will come to pick you up for your reward tomorrow.¡±


    When Zong Zi¡¯s voice fell, everyone was discussing with envy in their voices.


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s Magic Duel capabilities were indeed unparalleled, and everyone agreed that giving the Enlightenment Tea to him was a fair move.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe it¡¯s Enlightenment Tea, I didn¡¯t expect that Jumang Daoist Academy could offer such a great thing this time.¡±


    Bian Jingchun showed a longing look upon hearing about the reward.


    Even a Gold Core Real Person would covet this. There were still many places in her Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture where minor modifications were needed to make it more suitable for her Spiritual Root and constitution. If Enlightenment Tea could assist her, it would save her at least a decade.


    At this moment, Zong Zi also announced two other awards, the Dalit Flower and Return to Spring Dew, which also fueled envy.


    The Dalit Flower was originally for Pei Qingshuang but because she didn¡¯t come today and her discussions were less than ten, she lost her eligibility, and the item was given to Wenren Xuewei who came in second.


    The third place goes to Qi Huanzhi of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute.


    Among the top ten in the Foundation List, Xiahou Weihuan and Lou Fengcheng stopped participating in the discourse after losing to Chen Mobai, like Pei Qingshuang, and they automatically gave up the reward.


    However, Jumang Daoist Academy also prepared another consolation prize for the remaining real cultivators in the top ten.


    Everyone received a Rank-2 Wood Spiritual Talisman.


    This Wood Spiritual Talisman, once worn, can work continuously, adding 5 points to the user¡¯s Wood Spirit Root.


    ¡°The effect of the talisman can be maintained for approximately thirty years.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan, a Rank-2 Talisman Maker, examined the Wood Spiritual Talisman in Bian Jingchun¡¯s hand and gave her verdict.


    ¡°That¡¯s still pretty good.¡±


    Chen Mobai muttered casually, his gaze involuntarily shifted to Wenren Xuewei. A Rank-5 talisman might let the cultivator possess a Heavenly Wood Spirit Root.


    ¡°Pei Qingshuang is here!¡±


    Just as everyone was about to leave, a tall and slender figure slowly walked over. With sharp eyebrows and a vigorous pace, it was Pei Qingshuang.


    Seeing her approaching, everyone gasped with surprise.


    Why does she arrive only after it¡¯s over?


    While people were discussing, Pei Qingshuang landed on the surface of the lake, stepped into a circular ring, and then unlocked her Qing Shuang Sword from her waist.


    Her hand loosened the grip on her sword, and the sword miraculously stood erect in the air.


    ¡°I apologize; the time it took to lift the seal exceeded my expectations.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang was dressed in a dark green military uniform. The tight, deep green pants matched the knee-high black boots, accentuating her round and long legs.


    ¡°Pei, the time is already up.¡±


    On the platform of the Jumang Daoist Academy, Zong Zi had to remind her politely. As the host, he needed to make sure everything followed the rules.


    ¡°I know; since I didn¡¯t catch up with the time, let¡¯s consider that I lost the discussion.¡±


    Many people silently agreed with Pei Qingshuang¡¯s statement. In the immortal door, everyone respects the rules.


    ¡°Now, I want to challenge Chen, the Chairman of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, in my personal capacity.¡±


    At this moment, Pei Qingshuang suddenly made a statement that shocked everyone.


    Instantly, everyone¡¯s eyes were on Chen Mobai.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    They all believed that with his confidence and pride after winning the Magic Duel, he would surely accept this challenge.


    So, they could still witness the peak duel today.


    ¡°I decline.¡±


    However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Chen Mobai flatly refused.


    ¡°Why?¡±

 Chapter 549 - Chapter 549: Chapter 367: The Last Game_2

    Chapter 549: Chapter 367: The Last Game_2


    Pei Qingshuang evidently had not expected this, his eyes widening in shock as his long legs pushed off, swiftly taking him onto the platform of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°It¡¯s time for dinner, Qing Nu is waiting for me to feed her, I¡¯m afraid she might be hungry.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s casual words left Pei Qingshuang speechless.


    ¡°If you want to fight, wait until I had my dinner.¡±


    ¡°What time?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s see, you just wait.¡±


    Having said this, Chen Mobai, ignoring the gaping mouths and admiring looks of the crowd, calmly descended from the platform and left the island in the lake.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, grab a quick bite and hurry back, we can¡¯t miss this duel.¡±


    ¡°Who needs food, us True Cultivators in Foundation Establishment, can go on without food for days, I¡¯ll just wait right here.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, but I didn¡¯t expect Battle Law Victory to still be enslaved by such earthly desire.¡±


    ¡°What do you know, didn¡¯t you hear him? The key point is someone¡¯s waiting for him to eat.¡±


    ¡°Who is this Qing Nu he was referring to?¡±


    ¡°I happen to have heard about her, gleaned while understanding Battle Law Victory¡¯s past. She¡¯s a Heavenly Spiritual Root of Jumang Daoist Academy¡­¡±


    Before long, the remaining hundreds of True Cultivators in Foundation Establishment stage began to gossip.


    Upon hearing that Chen Mobai and Qing Nu have been in a relationship since high school, they couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, indeed, geniuses do attract each other.


    Of course, many of them also noticed Pei Qingshuang, this genius swordsman from Mountain Sea Academy, with his head lowered, his fists clenching and loosening, only to helplessly watch Chen Mobai leave in the end.


    However, he immediately descended to the lake surface, standing in the center of the circular ring.


    The Qing Shuang Sword floated with him, hanging in the air.


    ¡­


    In the Elixir Refining Room.


    Chen Mobai and Qing Nu were dining on a delicate meal of three dishes and a soup when they suddenly noticed an uninvited guest arriving outside the door.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t expect it to be Senior Wenren, would you like to join us?¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he pointed to the empty seat.


    ¡°No more chopsticks.¡±


    Qing Nu chimed in.


    ¡°Thanks for the invite, I just wanted to explain why Cui was late today.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is there a story behind this, didn¡¯t Pei Senior say it? The unsealing of the sword took longer than expected.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei shook her head gently, then, under Qing Nu¡¯s gaze, she sat down and began her narration.


    ¡°Actually, she had partially unsealed the power of the Qing Shuang Sword last night. The reason she intentionally arrived late today is because she heard my advice and wanted to create a good relationship with you, Junior Brother Chen.¡±


    ¡°Good relationship?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked confused, still not understanding.


    ¡°Your battle with her is unpredictable, but the Enlightenment Tea has the best effect on those who have never drunk it. If she¡¯s late, the first-place reward is certainly yours.¡±


    Upon hearing Wenren Xuewei¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai finally understood her intention.


    ¡°My reward, she doesn¡¯t need to give it up!¡±


    Chen Mobai put down his bowl and chopsticks, speaking with a calm expression.


    Upon hearing this, Wenren Xuewei was slightly taken aback, but then she smiled wryly, shaking her head, and explained.


    ¡°The Enlightenment Tea is more beneficial for you than her. You are Qualification of Deification, and the Immortal Gate is already preparing to open a new realm. Given your talent in magic duels, you¡¯re very likely to make a huge leap forward during this war of realm opening. Our request today indeed has selfish motives, hoping it could bring us bigger returns in the future.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was finally somewhat surprised and taken aback.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to hold such high expectations for me.¡±


    Even though Chen Mobai often dreams of becoming the Lord of the Immortal Gate, and Ascend to become Immortals, he has a very clear self-awareness. He knows that just to reach Core Formation will require all of his accumulated resources and power from both realms. Nascent Soul formation is too far-fetched even to think about.


    Unexpectedly, Wenren Xuewei and the others seemed certain about his future success, and wanted to place their bets on him ahead of time.


    ¡°Well, I should get going.¡±


    After Wenren Xuewei finished speaking, she got up and left.


    Before she turned around, she intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Qing Nu, who was quietly eating her meal.


    ¡°What do you think?¡±


    When there were only two of them, Chen Mobai asked Qing Nu. She blinked and then chewed and swallowed the Spirit Rice in her mouth before finally speaking.


    ¡°It¡¯s always better to assume good intentions than bad ones. When cultivating in the vast system of the Immortal Sect, unless you¡¯re a Divinity Transformation elder, everyone needs to build connections to make their cultivation smoother.¡±


    ¡°Makes sense.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded approvingly, indicating that their thoughts were in high agreement.


    Anyway, he had already secured his Enlightenment Tea, no matter how you looked at it.


    Originally, he didn¡¯t want to fight with Pei Qingshuang since there was no benefit, and there was a chance he could get hurt.


    But since Wenren Xuewei had taken the trouble to explain, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t exactly stand her up.


    Well, he might as well get a little exercise.


    ¡°Be careful, Pei Qingshuang is no ordinary cultivator.¡±


    After finishing eating and clearing away her bowls and chopsticks, as Chen Mobai was getting ready to leave, Qing Nu spoke up, reminding him.


    ¡°I know, anyone who can make Lan Haitian wary is bound to be strong.¡±


    ¡°No, I mean she¡¯s no ordinary person. Her mother is Tao Hua.¡±


    Chen Mobai was startled by these words.


    No wonder she had a Rank-4 Qing Shuang Sword and could drink Enlightenment Tea, she was a descendant of a Nascent Soul!


    With a whirlwind of thoughts in his mind, Chen Mobai slowly made his way to the island in the lake.


    He immediately saw Pei Qingshuang standing on the lake surface with her sword suspended in midair, causing him to gather all his distracting thoughts and land in the round arena.


    ¡°The sword¡¯s name is Qing Shuang, inherited from the Sword Tower of the Shanhai Xue Palace, a top grade of Rank-4.¡±


    After seeing Chen Mobai, Pei Qingshuang started the sword ceremony according to the rules of a sword cultivator.


    She reached out to hold the hilt of the Qing Shuang Sword suspended in the air. Then, a grand and majestic Sword Intent burst out, like a divine sword rushing into the sky, cutting open the lake surface under her feet and revealing the twisted tree roots and sludge at the bottom of the lake.


    Facing a Rank-4 Flying Sword, Chen Mobai drew his Flying Sparrow Hairpin, as usual.


    Although there was a huge gap between Rank-2 and Rank-4, he was already about to unsheathe his sword.


    However, it seemed that Pei Qingshuang was unable to fully control the power of the Qing Shuang Sword. In a short while, her cheeks began to turn red. The Sword Intent emanating from her body seemed to have reached a pinnacle, and she soon let go of the sword hilt, promptly retracting the majestic Sword Intent. She became as ordinary as a sword in a scabbard.


    ¡°My cultivation level is limited. I can only absorb four strands of the Qing Shuang Sword¡¯s Sword Qi. If you can block four attacks, I admit defeat.¡±


    Above the lake, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s body floated. Her skin was as cold and white as ice, and a bone-chilling Sword Intent began to spread with her words, like a cold wave attacking in the middle of the night. No matter how thick your clothes were, they couldn¡¯t stop the chill that numbed your bones.


    ¡°This is the first one, Frost White!¡±


    As the onlookers began to shudder in the cold, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s right hand, as white as jade, opened, and a stream of pure white coldness condensed into a white Qi Sword in her palm.


    The Qi Sword hovered in the air, and wherever it passed, the entire lake surface began to freeze, and it even started to spread around.


    In an instant, snowflakes began to float in the sky.


    This sword could actually influence the weather!


    Chen Mobai keenly sensed that this was Sword Qi, but its strength was not inferior to his own Sword Sha.


    Opening his mouth, he spat out a Sword Pill, which had already absorbed ten drops of Liquid Spiritual Power from his Dantian Qi Sea. When the Sword Pill was spit out, it exploded immediately, and the green light transformed into a small, golden sun and shot out to meet Pei Qingshuang¡¯s Qing Shuang Sword Qi.


    Although the Sword Sha was two ranks higher than the Sword Qi, Chen Mobai¡¯s Sword Sha surprisingly found itself on the back foot in the clash of the two forces.


    The light in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes flickered as he activated the Sun Raising Technique to increase the temperature of his Sword Sha again.

    Then he held his hands in the air, and bright green sparks burst from his fingers, which quickly condensed into a thunder ball the size of a skull and suddenly bombarded Pei Qingshuang¡¯s unstoppable white Qi Sword.


    In the rumbling noise,


    The eruption of three Rank-3 powers half froze and half evaporated the arena in an instant.


    In the midst of this miracle, the light in Pei Qingshuang¡¯s eyes became even colder. She seemed to transform into an emotionless divine sword, flying high with the Qing Shuang Sword. The chilling Qi in her left hand began to condense again, but this time it turned into a pitch-black Sword Qi.


    ¡°Dark Frost!¡±

 Chapter 550 - Chapter 550: Chapter 368: Im Very Satisfied with This Sparring Session_1

    Chapter 550: Chapter 368: I¡¯m Very Satisfied with This Sparring Session_1


    A pure black sword aura descended from the sky, like a scene of night, obscuring all light. With a terrifying chill that could freeze divine senses, it dropped onto Chen Mobai¡¯s head.


    An ancient bronze mirror flew out, and the shiny mirror surface lit up with a golden divine light, which instantly turned into a spherical light shield, enveloping Chen Mobai.


    This was the defensive magic technique that came with the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.


    The Frost¡¯s Dark Slash hit the top of the Divine Light Shield, triggering a horrifying spiritual power fluctuation that made one tremble instantly.


    In front of everyone at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, whose faces changed, the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield was pierced by pure black sword aura, slowly caving in, seemingly on the brink of splitting apart.


    But the power of defensive magic weapons resides in their resilience. As long as the strength has not exceeded its limit, it can endure under the continuous supply of spiritual power.


    Despite the continuous crumpling under the relentless onslaught of the pure black sword aura, the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield persisted after Chen Mobai lifted the restrictions and allowed it to consume the 130 drops of liquid longevity spiritual power stored within it.


    Having been sufficiently supplied with spiritual power, the previously concave light shield became smooth and round again, even rebounding the pure black sword aura back.


    After absorbing the sword aura into her body, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s state became strikingly similar to that of the Guidance Book. However, where Lou Fengcheng was extremely calm, she seemed to embody the sword, with a heart as cold as frost, the person led by the sword.


    Upon seeing her Frost¡¯s Dark Slash being stopped by the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, Pei Qingshuang clenched the left hand that controlled the sword aura.


    Chen Mobai felt that the pitch-black sword light in front of him disintegrated in an instant, like the night curtain being torn apart, and also like a pitch-black icy current pouring and covering downwards along the Profound Yang Divine Light Shield.


    instinctively feeling bad, Chen Mobai retreated quickly and issued an order to the artifact. Before the pitch-black icy flow covered the entire Profound Yang Divine Light Shield, he slipped out from behind the protected area of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.


    By the time he landed on the lake surface, a gigantic black sphere that had been sealed fell from the sky and slammed heavily on the half-frozen lake surface, causing cracks to form in the ice with the black sphere at the center.


    Chen Mobai wanted to control his life-bound magic artifact, but found that there was no response at all. The black sword aura enveloped the entire mirror, forming a perfect seal, cutting off his divine senses and perception.


    [Frost¡¯s White is the power of freeze, targeting Sword Sha; Frost¡¯s Dark primarily focuses on sealing one¡¯s consciousness, therefore it was meant to counter my Divine Slash, perhaps?]


    After the two moves, Chen Mobai instinctively started thinking continuously within the fight. Meanwhile, he had already uncapped the yellow gourd on his waist. The orange glamor, like a rising mist, went with the terrifying power which could reduce everything into ashes, towards Pei Qingshuang floating in mid-air.


    But facing the attack of Primordial Yang Sword Evil, Pei Qingshuang actually stood erect in mid-air, unmoving.


    Just when Chen Mobai widened his eyes and wanted to redirect the attack direction of Primordial Yang Sword Evil, the ancient sword tool floating beside Pei Qingshuang seemed to sense the danger of the sword master, and actually unsheathed automatically.


    With a clanging sound!


    The blade was hardly half unsheathed, and the invisible sword light flickered, but the Primordial Yang Sword Evil that Chen Mobai rushed in front of Pei Qingshuang was severed into two beams of glamor at this moment.


    Chen Mobai was gripped by a searing pain in his forehead, feeling his divine senses attached to the Primordial Yang Sword Evil suffering severe damage.


    The severed orange glamor disintegrated into Fire Yang Evil all over the sky.


    Qing Shuang Sword¡¯s bare body slashed, and it directly obliterated Chen Mobai¡¯s Primordial Yang Sword Evil, even demolished the divine senses, and returned to its origin.


    [Although she can¡¯t control the Qing Shuang Sword, the sword tool will decimate any force that threatens her. I need to avoid the Qing Shuang Sword.]


    Chen Mobai endured the pain in his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, but under this situation, he entered into a mysterious combat state. The details of this battle flashed in his mind, and he began to ponder his path to victory.


    ¡°Frost Green!¡±


    At this time, Pei Qingshuang had taken advantage of the momentum to chase, slashing out her third sword aura!


    This sword aura was pure green, but it carried a terrifying sharpness that made Chen Mobai¡¯s divine senses shudder.


    He had a feeling that if he were hit by this sword, his physical body would lose all sensation.


    A spirit talisman shaped like a leaf flew out. Under the infusion of Chen Mobai¡¯s extremely pure longevity spiritual power, it turned into a verdant leaf, blocking the pure sword aura that Pei Qingshuang had swung out with both hands.


    This was the Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talisman refined by the ancestor Zhou of the Divine Wood Sect.


    This talisman was claimed to be able to block all attacks below the Gold Core, but Pei Qingshang¡¯s sword aura was undeniably Rank-3, so it only blocked for three breaths before it disintegrated into Wood spiritual power.

    But by making use of this time, Chen Mobai had already lifted the seal of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.


    A strand of pure white flame broke through the seal of Frost¡¯s Dark, like a chain reaction, instantly shattering the whole black sphere.


    Before fleeing from the seal, Chen Mobai launched the attack spell of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, Pure Yang Fire.


    If it were any other time, the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror would naturally be unable to break through Frost¡¯s Dark. However, this mirror contained Chen Mobai¡¯s extensive longevity spiritual power stored for the purpose of concealing his level of cultivation.


    When he lifted the divine sense barrier, allowing the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror to absorb and devour freely, coupled with the external binding of Frost¡¯s Dark, the power of the Pure Yang Fire exploded to its extreme.

 Chapter 551 - Chapter 551: Chapter 368: Im Very Satisfied with This Sparring Session_2

    Chapter 551: Chapter 368: I¡¯m Very Satisfied with This Sparring Session_2


    Even if he got a Gold Core cultivator to wield it, the power would probably be the same.


    After breaking through the Dark Frost, the pure white flames hadn¡¯t entirely burned out yet. Under Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense control, they transformed into a long flame serpent. With the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror at its core, it came alive, seemingly opening its giant jaws, dashing across the gap, and intercepting Pei Qingshuang¡¯s pure Sword Qi before swallowing it.


    However, as the third Sword Qi, the power of the Frost Green was even stronger than the previous two combined.


    The flame serpent conjured by the Fire Snake Technique started to disintegrate inch by inch from the head after absorbing the pure Sword Qi, scattered into sparkles, flames, and hot sparks all sprinkling in mid-air.


    However, Chen Mobai knew that this was definitely not the moment to retreat.


    He soared into the air, his right hand pressed on the back of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, injecting all of the remaining 35 drops of liquid Longevity Spiritual Power from his Dantian Qi Sea into this life Magic Artifact. Plus the unburned 50 drops inside, the vast and pure Longevity Spiritual Power served as fuel, making the Pure Yang Fire even more vigorous.


    The ancient bronze mirror seemed to be doused in oil, bursting into fierce flames instantly, like a spark streaking through the sky, staunchly resisting the descending pure Sword Qi.


    Among the thumping sounds, the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror gradually descended under the pressure of the Sword Qi, the flame snake also broke inch by inch into fire stars scattered into nothingness. Chen Mobai¡¯s body also continuously fell.


    Still, at his relentless expenditure of spiritual power, the power of this Rank-3 Magic Artifact was brought to its utmost limit. Until only the last 16 drops of Longevity Spiritual Power were left burning, it finally stopped the pure Sword Light from falling further.


    Accompanied by the dissipation of the clear brilliance, Chen Mobai had already sunk into the muddy ground on the island in the lake. His right hand, which was pressing on the surface of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, had already started to burn through his sleeve.


    This Dance Instruments Red and Black Robe of rank-2 could not withstand the Pure Yang Fire of this temperature.


    Chen Mobai retracted the fully-stretched Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, then lifted his head to gaze at the mid-air.


    The fourth Sword Qi, which was also the last one, was already being formed in the pale-faced Pei Qingshuang¡¯s palm.


    ¡°Frost Purple!¡±


    Bang!


    Even without this sword strike, thunder was already rumbling in the overcast sky.


    However, compared to the other thunder explosions, the thunder now emerging was exuding a chilling aura.


    Considering the title of Purple Lightning Qingshuang, Chen Mobai guessed that this should be Ice Thunder.


    The purple Sword Qi fell from Pei Qingshuang¡¯s palm, moving very slowly, but it made every spectator feel oppressed. It seemed as if this one stroke had locked all of them, and no one could escape it.


    Chen Mobai felt he had been targeted by the Sword Qi the moment the ¡°Frost Purple¡± executed, no matter where he escaped to, even to the Ends of the Earth, this stroke would chase him and strike him down.


    Rumble, rumble!


    The purple Sword Qi had not yet arrived, but the thunder that rumbled across the sky had already taken the lead. The Ice Thunder triggered by the Sword Qi had turned into a huge ice-ball, which was three or four times bigger in diameter than the Thunder Ball previously formed by Chen Mobai.


    Before dealing with the fourth Sword Qi, he must first deal with this Ice Thunder.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes glimmered with clear radiance, seeing through the power composition of this Ice Thunder at this instant.


    It was indeed a Rank 3 Thunder method, but this Ice Thunder was a naturally formed phenomenon of energy manipulated by Sword Qi, so Pei Qingshuang could only roughly control it.


    With a swish!


    Chen Mobai tore off the right sleeve of his robe, which was still aflame, with his left hand. His right hand, covered with burns from the flames, clenched, and sparkling green lightning condensed in a blink of an eye.


    However, compared to the previous explosive lightning, this time it was as gentle as water.


    Lightning transformed into a long spike in Chen Mobai¡¯s palm and pierced directly into the falling Ice Thunder, just like a lightning rod.


    These two disproportionate Thunder methods caused a shocking change in the eyes of all the spectators who couldn¡¯t believe it.


    The Frost Green Ice Thunder instantaneously disintegrated into countless small ice balls across the sky, while the Yi Wood Divine Thunder struck like a bamboo shoot, rising straight into the sky, directly hitting the slowly falling purple Sword Light.


    But compared with Ice Thunder, the power of the fourth Sword Light from Pei Qingshuang was stronger than the previous three combined.


    The Yi Wood Divine Thunder was pressed back inch by inch until it finally collapsed completely.


    Is it over!?


    This thought flashed through the minds of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators at Daoist Academy who were watching this.


    Regret appeared on some people¡¯s faces.


    Could it be that the undefeated Battle Law Victory was going to be defeated after all!?


    But if his opponent were the Qing Shuang Sword, to withstand the fourth Sword Qi before being defeated with his mere Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level was already a quite remarkable achievement.


    ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought, that following my mastery of the Observing Stars Technique, my first mistake would occur with him.¡±


    Atop the platform of the Astral Observation Academy, Ding Chundzhi couldn¡¯t help but sigh deeply as he observed the scene in front of him.


    Chen Mobai was his chosen number one on the Foundation List, but surprisingly, he had lost to number two.


    He couldn¡¯t blame himself, though, considering he dared not look at the Qing Shuang Sword, only considering Pei Qingshuang¡¯s strength multiplied by a factor¡ª only to find he¡¯d still underestimated it.


    Ding Chundzhi had estimated that Pei Qingshuang could at most strike two and a half times with the sword!


    ¡°It¡¯s not over yet.¡±


    Just then, the successor of The Divine Machine Mansion spoke four words that surprised Ding Chundzhi.


    It¡¯s not over!?


    Could it be that Chen Mobai would rather die under the Qing Shuang Sword Qi than admit defeat?


    Boom!


    Just at that moment, a startling Green Flames Sword Slaughter lit up in front of Ding Chundzhi¡¯s eyes, and he quickly turned to look across.


    Chen Mobai had once again invoked the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, seemingly exhausting all his spiritual power. The cyan radiance was even more bright and dazzling than the first time he¡¯d used it, the light increasing explosively by thirty percent.


    ¡°It¡¯s useless. The Primordial Yang Sword Evil was extinguished. This green sword slaughter, however¡­¡±


    Just as Ding Chundzhi was shaking his head and sighing, he realized something was amiss. His eyes widened as he carefully observed the swelling sword slaughter in front of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Young brother, risking a permanent Sword Sha for the sake of victory in a friendly match isn¡¯t worth it!¡±


    On the platform of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Bian Jingchun, who had been devastated by this move, widened his eyes. He called out to Chen Mobai, trying to get him to stop using the ¡°Flame Explosion Technique.¡±


    ¡°The glory of the academy is in this sword; let me be the one to recast it!¡±


    That¡¯s all Chen Mobai said.


    Then, he lightly pushed the Qingyi Sword Sha, which had reached its peak in front of him, towards the purple sword light falling down.


    The moment the two forces met, the Green Flames Sword Slaughter was thoroughly ignited!


    The desperate magic of the Pure Yang Scroll is not simply cumulative, but multiplicative!


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Wen Renxuewei also sensed something was wrong at this point, so she immediately connected with the divine tree beneath her at the cost of her own source.


    An overwhelming force, as vast as the earth, surged out, forming fourteen huge light shields around all the True Cultivators of the Daoist Academy.


    Boom Boom!


    At this moment, the entire center island of the lake had boiled to the point where only a purple-green color remained in the sky.


    In the face of the terrifying heat, the purple sword light was slowly dissolved, and in front of Chen Mobai, it shattered completely.


    The aftermath of the sword light and sword slaughter spread out, and the water of the entire island evaporated, but a deep chill condensed the water vapor into snowflakes.


    On that day, it snowed on Wood God Island.


    The students of Jumang Dao Academy, who had never seen this kind of weather, were thrilled and started a joyful snowball fight.


    Qing Nu, in the Elixir Refining Room, watched the falling snow outside the window with a grave look.


    ¡­.


    With a thud, Pei Qingshuang fell. If not for the Qing Shuang Sword supporting her, she might have fallen into the muddy bottom of the lake.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I lost.¡±


    She said, panting for breath.


    ¡°But isn¡¯t this expected?¡±


    Chen Mobai said this, then collected the extinguished Fire Yang Evil into the yellow skin gourd on his waist, before turning around and leaving the dried-up island in the middle of the lake.


    ¡°However, you are the first opponent I had to go all out against. This friendly match, I¡¯m very satisfied.¡±

 Chapter 552 - Chapter 552: Chapter 369: Secluded Small World_1

    Chapter 552: Chapter 369: Secluded Small World_1


    It was only after Chen Mobai left that everyone came to their senses.


    Did Pei Qingshuang actually lose!?


    That was the Qing Shuang Sword, one of the top-notch Flying Swords in the Immortal Sect.


    However, it was this spar that revealed to them just how formidable a full-force magic duel victory could be.


    Rank-3 Thunder method, Rank-3 Magic Artifact, and two Sword Shas!


    Apart from the difference in realms, this was basically the configuration of a Gold Core expert.


    Even if Lan Haitian was here, he might not necessarily be a match.


    Looking at the departing figure of Chen Mobai, Wen Renshuwei had this thought in her mind.


    [However, Cui Er has caused him to lose a Sword Sha. This needs to be remedied.]


    Regardless of the commotion from the Daoist Academy students after the spar, Chen Mobai routinely returned to the Elixir Refining Room after his fight.


    ¡°Did you win?¡±


    Unexpectedly, Qing Women was waiting at the door. The ointment refining had reached the latter stage and she no longer needed to constantly control the temperature of the spiritual fire.


    ¡°Of course, have you ever seen me lose?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at Qing Women, whose face was slightly worried, and spoke with a light smile filled with confidence.


    ¡°That was the Qing Shuang Sword!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qing Women looked shocked. Although she knew that Chen Mobai was talented in magic duels, she still found it hard to believe that he had defeated Pei Qingshuang.


    ¡°It¡¯s merely a Rank-4 sword. In fact, our Daoist Academy also has a Rank-4 Magic Artifact. However, with me here, there¡¯s no need to use this last resort.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke nonchalantly but he soon remembered something.


    ¡°Strange, the fact that the true cultivators in our Daoist Academy can wield Rank-4 Magic Artifacts is because of ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯, why can Pei Qingshuang wield a Rank-4 sword? Could it be that Shanhai Academy has a similar sword cultivation technique to ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±


    Qing Women shook her head slightly. Chen Mobai, unable to figure it out, dismissed the thought. After all, the Immortal Sect is filled with countless magical arts and techniques.


    Moreover, considering Pei Qingshuang¡¯s status as a Nascent Soul descendant with deep backing, possessing a Rank-4 sword is normal.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to drink the Enlightenment Tea tomorrow. I can¡¯t wait.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who had experienced the magic of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, had been eagerly anticipating the Enlightenment Tea, which was even more incredible, ever since he first heard about it.


    The next day.


    By the time Zong Zi came looking for him, Chen Mobai, who had waited all night, had become calm.


    ¡°Junior sister, I¡¯ll take Chen Mobai with me first.¡±


    Zong Zi seemed to have a good relationship with Qing Women and informed her before taking Chen Mobai away.


    The two of them traveled across Wood God Island and surprisingly ended up leaving Jumang Daoist Academy for a place above Wan Shui Lake.


    ¡°The Enlightenment Tea is in the tranquil secret realm. Your academy¡¯s Teacher Luo is also there.¡±


    As he spoke, Zong Zi took out a wooden token. With a gentle wave, it created a serene green halo, gradually revealing a circular portal large enough for someone to pass through.


    Chen Mobai curiously observed the different sights on either side of the portal.


    The outside of the portal was the vast Wan Shui Lake, while inside the portal was a pastoral green land. Rows of spirit-filled herbs grew, appearing like ripe grains during the harvest season. A gust of wind brought along an intoxicating fragrance of herbs.


    Zong Zi stepped in first, followed by Chen Mobai. The portal then gradually shrank until it disappeared.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s expression had changed slightly.


    ¡°Chief Chen, this way please!¡±


    Zong Zi was already calling out to him from up ahead. Chen Mobai nodded, suppressed his inner turmoil, and followed him to their destination.


    [Detecting that the host has crossed world barriers, do you need to anchor this new world for future teleportation?]


    Turtle Treasure, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly displayed a new notification.


    This reminded him of his departure from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, which had been similar.


    [In other words, Turtle Treasure can differentiate between worlds. This tranquil realm of the Jumang Daoist Academy triggered its reaction.]


    Chen Mobai thought to himself and, after thinking for a while, he dismissed Turtle Treasure¡¯s attempt to anchor this place.


    The Daoist sects here aren¡¯t as backward as the Eastern Wilderness.


    Although Turtle Treasure appeared to be a very powerful Legal Treasure, this tranquil realm of the Jumang Daoist Academy had been managed and passed down for thousands of years. Surely they must be aware of every inch of this place. If anchoring it triggered a hidden prohibition, his secret could be exposed.


    Chen Mobai knew that the Four Daoist Academies had the foundation of the Transformation God Level.


    Before he had grown up, it would be better not to expose the existence of the Turtle Treasure.


    Once he was clear about what to do, Chen Mobai ignored Turtle Treasure and calmly followed Zong Zi through the acres of medicine fields.


    As one of the Six Medicine Realms in the Immortal Sect, Chen Mobai finally got to witness the profound foundation of the Four Daoist Academies in this tranquil realm.


    He actually saw Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms, thousands of them in a large stretch of medicine fields, with hundreds of them ripe and ready for harvest.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Among the Six Medicine Realms, our tranquil realm has the best spiritual energy conditions for the growth of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms, so most of them are grown here. When Five Elements Gold Core pills or Liquid Gold Jade are needed for Alchemy, they are picked by the Immortal Sect.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai in a daze in front of an acre of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms, Zong Zi stopped and voluntarily explained as if he were a tour guide.


    ¡°Are herbs used from our own Daoist Academy drug realm also subject to the permission of the Immortal Sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked curiously.


    ¡°Not just this tranquil realm, all the herbs grown in the Six Medicine Realms are registered with the Immortal Medicine Supervision Bureau. Each one can only be picked with the approval of this department.¡±

 Chapter 553 - Chapter 553: Chapter 369: Serene Small World_2

    Chapter 553: Chapter 369: Serene Small World_2


    ¡°Of course, the medicinal herbs planted in this tranquil minor world nominally belong to our Jumang Daoist Academy. But, if we want to refine a batch of rank-3 or above elixirs, we first need to submit an alchemy application to the Drug Bureau, along with a list of required herbs.¡±


    ¡°Once the Drug Bureau approves and stamps our application, we can then pick the medicinal herbs according to the list provided in their reply.¡±


    ¡°Normally, we report a slightly higher number of herbs than needed in our application. If you have connections, they¡¯ll simply approve without checking. However, the applications from herb shops and non-academy alchemists would undergo a more meticulous review, and they make sure to eliminate any potential ¡®padding¡¯ in the listed herbs.¡±


    ¡°So, as long as our alchemy process succeeds, we can always refine a few surplus herbs per furnace batch. Over time, these surpluses accumulate, and some elixirs that are not on the record can enter circulation.¡±


    As the chief of the Jumang Daoist Academy and a rank-3 Spirit Plant Master, Zong Zi frequently visits this tranquil minor world to improve his spirit plant technique, making him very familiar with the ins and outs here.¡±


    Of course, if it were someone else today, he certainly wouldn¡¯t say these things.


    But Chen Mobai is the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Like him, he is an orthodox lineage of the academies, and with his talent, he might even steer a sect in the future, so Zong Zi provided a more detailed explanation.¡±


    ¡°I see, thank you for the explanation, Chief Zong.¡±


    Chen Mobai enlightened after listening.


    Indeed, even within the immortal sects, not everything can be perfectly controlled.


    But that¡¯s normal. If there wasn¡¯t some wiggle room, this world would probably have perished a long time ago.


    ¡°There is one more thing, when we sow new medicinal herbs, although the Drug Bureau will send someone to count the quantity on the spot, after we finish registering and completing all formalities, we can sow more. They generally turn a blind eye.¡±


    Zong Zi revealed another fine detail, pointing to the Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms, indicating that only 95% of the quantity here is officially registered with the Drug Bureau.¡±


    So this implies that they can control and use the excess 5% that matures freely.


    ¡°However, you shouldn¡¯t be too outrageous. The Drug Bureau checks the types and quantities of medicinal herbs grown in each major medicinal field from time to time. If the discrepancy is too big, even our stronghold amongst the four great academies can¡¯t cover it. After all, each medicinal herb requires spiritual energy and other resources to be cultivated, and all these belong to the immortal sect.¡±


    Everyone ensures a certain manoeuvring space within a certain range without crossing the red line.


    Chen Mobai remembered a saying from his grandfather when he was a child. He understood it only superficially then, but now, combining it with the real case of this tranquil minor world, he finally understood.


    So, could this unwritten rule be used in the talisman industry?


    Chen Mobai thought about the abundant resources in the Divine Tree Secret Realm and Tianhe Realm. If he could open up relevant channels, could he slowly convert the resources from different worlds into legal and regulated products on this side of the immortal sect?


    Just as he was pondering over this, Zong Zi introduced him to the various facilities in the tranquil minor world¡¯s herbal field.


    ¡°This is a constant temperature and humidity herbal field, and it is planted with some herbs that are very sensitive to sudden environmental changes and spiritual energy, such as this Jade Dew Grass¡­¡±


    ¡°This one changes with the seasons, and the spirit plants here don¡¯t require much care, as long as they are regularly watered with Spirit Rain to ensure there are no pests.¡±


    ¡°Because the tranquil minor world is situated above the Ten Thousand Water Lake Spirit Vein, it ranks second only to the cloud-dominated minor world of the Immortal Sect in terms of the variety of medicinal herbs planted among the six major medicinal fields.¡±


    Chen Mobai listened and nodded, these were the most critical things in the alchemy industry of the immortal sect.


    If he weren¡¯t the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Zong Zi certainly wouldn¡¯t tell him these things and probably wouldn¡¯t bring him to this tranquil minor world to get Enlightenment Tea, but would just ask him to wait outside.


    ¡°Chief Zong, if I were to open a pharmacy, could I possibly get stock from your Sky Blue Drug Factory?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about how he could use the alchemists from this side of the immortal sect to legitimize the herbs from the Tianhe Realm, and opening a pharmacy would be the best way to do it.


    And one of the first things a pharmacy in the immortal sect needs to obtain before registering with the relevant departments is the drug factory¡¯s supply certificate.


    Although he has the backing of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, who would refuse to have more support?


    ¡°I can¡¯t make that decision, generally, a drug factory can supply many pharmacies, but a pharmacy is only allowed to list one drug factory.¡±


    Zong Zi shook his head. Although he was the chief of the current Jumang Daoist Academy, the Sky Blue Drug Factory was one of the lifelines of the academy, and he, with his shallow seniority, still couldn¡¯t speak on such matters.


    His last sentence revealed something.


    It¡¯s probably not possible.


    Chen Mobai was just asking, after all, the pharmacy idea was still a concept.

    In the months leading up to Core Formation, he would first work to grow and strengthen his talisman factory, then venture into alchemy and artifact refining sectors, striving to become a major trader between the two realms.


    ¡°We¡¯re here.¡±


    By this time, they had already reached the center of the tranquil minor world.


    It was a terraced field.


    There were already five or six people on top of the terraces, each standing by various magic artifacts, seemingly refining elixirs.

 Chapter 554 - Chapter 554: Chapter 369: Tranquil Little World_3

    Chapter 554: Chapter 369: Tranquil Little World_3


    Chen Mobai followed Zong Zi up the terraces and saw Luo Hezheng from their academy, who waved at him.


    ¡°Chief Zong, I¡¯m going to greet Master Luo first.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go together. Master Mei is right by Master Luo¡¯s side.¡±


    Zong Zi took Chen Mobai to Luo Hezheng. Standing next to him was the head of Sky Blue Pharmacy, Mei Shuan, a man with a peaceful expression and white hair.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard about what you¡¯ve done. Well done.¡±


    Luo Hezheng spoke first, looking at Chen Mobai with satisfaction.


    It¡¯s been a long time since Dance Tool Daoist Academy has ranked first amongst the Immortal University. This time, Chen Mobai¡¯s overwhelming performance in the top ten colleges of the three main Daoist Academies made Luo Hezheng really proud.


    ¡°I was only doing what I was supposed to do.¡±


    Having spoken these words, Chen Mobai saw Mei Shuan tap on a teapot-shaped magical instrument in front of him, causing clear tea to flow out of its spout and fall into a transparent glass tube.


    ¡°This is your reward.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately accepted this ¡°Enlightenment Tea¡±, which shared a similar package to Qi-replenishing Spirit Water but was actually completely different.


    ¡°Thank you, Master Mei.¡±


    ¡°Although the effect of Enlightenment Tea can be preserved for many years, it¡¯s best when consumed soon after it¡¯s brewed.¡±


    Luo Hezheng added, prompting Chen Mobai to excuse himself, wishing to find a quiet place to drink the Enlightenment Tea immediately.


    ¡°No need to rush. The effect stays the same within a month.¡±


    As he spoke, Luo Hezheng uncovered a pot-like magical artifact in front of him, which contained an unknown spiritual water showing a cold and blue sheen. In the center of the spiritual water was a scarlet spirit plant with a diameter of half a meter.


    ¡°During the cold extraction of this Fire Lingzhi, I added a little too much cold spiritual water. I need your help to inject a bit of Pure Yang Fire Spiritual Power, for water-fire mutual assistance and Yin-Yang balance.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and asked how to do it.


    ¡°You need to inject your Pure Yang Spiritual Power into this Pure Yuan Spirit Water. Not too much, about one and two-third droplets of liquid spiritual power per unit of water.¡±


    Mei Shuan handed over a dozen glass tubes filled with Pure Yuan Spirit Water that he had prepared in advance. Zong Zi immediately took and stood by Chen Mobai¡¯s side.


    Pure Yuan Spirit Water refers to the spiritual water in the Immortal Alchemy industry void of any Five Elements.


    Injected with Fire Spiritual Power, it becomes Pure Fire Spirit Water; injected with Wood Spiritual Power, it becomes Pure Wood Spirit Water¡­


    In alchemy, these technique finely adjusts the micro differences in the medicine properties to achieve excellence.


    It seemed that the group was working on a high-grade Elixir. After giving some instructions, Mei Shuan went to check the extraction process of the others.


    ¡°We¡¯ve managed to gather enough materials to refine a Rank-4 Elixir this time, but it seems there was an issue with the storage of the Fire Lingzhi, resulting in some leakage of its medicinal properties. Since the Fire Lingzhi is from our academy, we asked for your help. Your Pure Yang Spiritual Power is also most suitable for this kind of work.¡±


    Luo Hezheng was straightforward with Chen Mobai about their work. In addition to representatives from the four major Daoist Academies, there were also two Rank-4 Alchemists specially invited for alchemy.


    Chen Mobai nodded, and under the guidance of Zong Zi, started to dissolve strands of his Pure Yang Spiritual Power, slowly injecting it into the Pure Yuan Spirit Water.


    What seemed like a simple task took Chen Mobai three attempts before Zong Zi finally nodded with satisfaction at the fourth tube of Pure Yuan Spirit Water.


    The originally pure and transparent spiritual water, displayed a golden-purple color, and was warm to the touch.


    Mei Shuan came over, tested the nine tubes of golden-purple Pure Yuan Spirit Water one by one, and took three of them.


    He opened one tube and poured it into the alchemic instrument in front of Luo Hezheng, which immediately displayed a virtual balance scale.


    The left side of the balance was blue and tilted slightly downward, and the right side was red, slanting upward.


    After two tubes of Pure Yuan Spirit Water were poured in consecutively, the red side slowly descended, nearly reaching balance with the blue side.


    Mei Shuan opened another tube and this time added the water drop by drop carefully. Only after the balance scale was completely balanced did he heave a sigh of relief.


    After witnessing this, Zong Zi left the secluded small realm with Chen Mobai.


    Before leaving, Luo Hezheng told Chen Mobai to lead the team back to the academy first and not to wait for him.


    ¡°I wonder what elixir they are refining?¡±


    As they left the secluded small realm, Chen Mobai, seemingly curious, asked Zong Zi, ignoring Turtle Treasure¡¯s vibrations.


    ¡°Having taken a brief look around, I can confirm that it¡¯s a Five Elements Gold Core Elixir, but I don¡¯t know which kind among the Five Elements.¡±


    As a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master, even though Zong Zi had not seen the medicinal plants being extracted in the Alchemic Instruments, he had already guessed what elixir it was by observing the various additives placed on the shelf.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly shocked.


    Five Elements Gold Core Elixir!


    However, he shook his head shortly afterwards. Anyone in the Immortal Gate must follow rules to exchange for Core Formation Elixirs.


    Even if it¡¯s a genius like Lan Haitian, didn¡¯t she have to work for the Patching-Up Group for sixty years before obtaining the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill?


    Although this Five Elements Gold Core Elixir is one grade lower, the shortest period to exchange it is still sixty years of service. Furthermore, he didn¡¯t know which attribute it had.


    Chen Mobai remembered Che Yucheng saying that if he took the Five Elements Gold Core Elixir, it would be best to choose two pills with Fire and Wood Elements, and Fire Element as the second choice.


    Given that the elixir was being refined in the Secluded Small Realm atop the Water Vein, it¡¯s likely to be a Water Element Gold Core Elixir, which doesn¡¯t correspond to his cultivation technique.


    Speaking of Core Formation, Chen Mobai remembered the Divine Wood Sect.


    He wondered how Meng Hong, who had been in seclusion, was doing. As the former sect leader, he had been very kind to Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai genuinely wished for his successful Core Formation.

    After parting with Zong Zi, Chen Mobai returned to the Elixir Refining Room.


    Qing Nu said that in about five days, the batch of ointment would be ready.


    Chen Mobai immediately called Zhuang Jialan and informed her that everyone should return to the Dance Tool Daoist Academy in five days.


    He was anxious to return and drink the Enlightenment Tea.


    However, that night, Wenren Xuewei sent a message inviting him for tea.

 Chapter 555 - Chapter 555: Chapter 370 Pure Yang Purple Qi_1

    Chapter 555: Chapter 370 Pure Yang Purple Qi_1


    When Chen Mobai arrived at the Qu Shui Pavilion, the three women were already there.


    ¡°Please, take a seat.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei gestured to the seat opposite her. There were four seats in total in the pavilion. With Chen Mobai¡¯s arrival, all seats were filled.


    ¡°I have had the pleasure of meeting you three senior sisters.¡±


    Whether it was Wen Ren Xuewei, Yan Qingzhi, or even the youngest Pei Qingshuang, all of them were more than twice Chen Mobai¡¯s age. Calling them senior sisters was already making them sound younger.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, please accept this.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei gave a faint smile and handed over a jade box from the stone table.


    Upon opening the box, Chen Mobai was met with a refreshing scent that cleared his mind. After a closer look, he found a palm-sized flower that looked freshly picked!


    It was a Great Toon flower!


    No need to ask further, Chen Mobai immediately recognized the gift.


    This should be the reward for being the runner-up in the spar with Wen Ren Xuewei, he didn¡¯t expect her to give it to him.


    ¡°One does not accept reward without making a contribution.¡±


    Even though he wanted it, Chen Mobai, maintaining his self-control, closed the jade box, and pushed it back.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you lost a Sword Sha in the spar with Cui. We could consider this as Cui¡¯s compensation since this was originally hers to begin with.¡±


    Based on ranking, Pei Qingshuang would have been in second place if she hadn¡¯t been late, and lost to Chen Mobai. It made sense for Wen Ren Xuewei to say this.


    ¡°In the arena, we all rely on our own capabilities. It was my decision to win, losing a Sword Sha is my own responsibility.¡±


    Chen Mobai replied, shaking his head repeatedly. In the Daoist Academy, he had begun to deliberately establish his character as a sword cultivator.


    Mainly because the Great Toon flower was of little use to him.


    This spiritual object, when refined into one¡¯s consciousness sea, can stabilize the Purple Palace, prevents the divine sense from rebounding and suppresses a troublemakers¡¯ heart demons, but he had no such troubles.


    He certainly didn¡¯t owe anyone a favor for something unnecessary like this.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen is truly as proud as a blue bamboo.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei couldn¡¯t help but praise him.


    Yan Qingzhi and Pei Qingshuang, having heard this, looked at Chen Mobai with strange gazes. They had never met a cultivator in the Daoist Academy who could face the Great Toon flower without a change in expression and decisively reject it.


    Once refined, the immature form of the Immortal Toon Fruit, the Great Toon flower, cultivators can increase their innate lifespan by twenty years.


    Even a Gold Core Seeker begging at Jumang Daoist Academy¡¯s gate might not be able to get one.


    [Such strong-mindedness in this person is seldom seen in the world.]


    As the three women thought about this, they didn¡¯t realize that Chen Mobai had no idea that the Great Toon flower could extend one¡¯s lifespan by twenty years.


    ¡°Chen Mobai, this time you¡¯ve gained great fame for sweeping the top ten students of the three major Daoist Academies. In the Foundation Establishment level, both your reputation and strength has reached its peak. Your next step should be the preparation to get a Core Formation Spiritual Object, right?¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei was not unpleasant to be around. Upon seeing Chen Mobai refusing the Great Toon Flower, she immediately laughed and changed the subject to another topic.


    ¡°I wonder which department of the Daoist Academy is fortunate enough to admit you, a heaven-sent genius.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head after hearing this and did not conceal his intention: ¡°I do not intend to take a public exam, I intend to go into business and get rich.¡±


    Businessman!?


    The three women looked at each other in surprise after hearing this.


    ¡°With your abilities, Junior Brother Chen, and the support of Dance Tool Daoist Academy, the Daoist Academy would certainly assist you if you are willing. You can obtain the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill in the shortest possible time, as Gongye Zhixu and Lan Haitian did.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei spoke softly and persuasively.


    ¡°I suppose it¡¯s because I dislike being bound by nature.¡±


    Chen Mobai offered an excuse. He would naturally not say that he needed to handle affairs in two worlds and if he works a desk job in public office, it would be easy for his secrets to be revealed.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, you should really consider this carefully. I have the Lasting Spring Skill, and even without the Core Formation spiritual object, I could still find the key to successful Core Formation. Cui can spend people¡¯s accumulated contributions, and as long as she accumulates sixty years of service, she can redeem the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill. In addition, because of her physique and special cultivation technique, Qingzhi is slightly similar to consuming the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill.¡±


    ¡°The rest of the Foundation Establishment cultivators are better off using the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill.¡±


    ¡°Junior Brother, even though you practice the Pure Yang Scroll which is the easiest way to breakthrough, you still need to learn the Pure Yang Purple Qi.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei knows all the great divinity transformation techniques of Dao Academy. Because of the Lasting Spring Cultivation, she has the deepest understanding of Core Formation among the Foundation Establishment cultivators in this batch.


    Even with her arrangement, she failed to form a core twice, which indicated the difficulty of Core Formation.


    In the Daoist Academy, more than 80% of the Real Gold Core cultivators succeeded in Core Formation by consuming the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill.


    Do not underestimate the difference between Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill and Five Elements Gold Core Pill, which is only 10% success rate. Sometimes, this 10% can end up making a big difference in the final results.

    ¡°Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Wen Ren knows about Pure Yang Purple Qi.¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised. The Pure Yang Purple Qi is a technique from the Gold Core chapter of the Pure Yang Scroll. It uses Pure Yang spiritual power to blend with Big Sun Purple Gas, then refining them with the Flame Lighting Technique to obtain a strand of Innate Primordial Yang Purple Gas.


    The process is similar to artificially combining the Five Elements¡¯ essence qi to form Earth Sha Qi. However, only those cultivators who have reached Core Formation level with the Pure Yang Scroll can condense this ¡°Pure Yang Purple Qi¡±.


    The higher the level of cultivation, the shorter the time required to condense it.


    In addition to its function to break through demons, the Pure Yang Purple Qi is also known to enhance the chances of breaking through to a higher level of cultivation.

 Chapter 556 - Chapter 556: Chapter 370 Pure Yang Purple Qi_2

    Chapter 556: Chapter 370 Pure Yang Purple Qi_2


    The prototype of the Barrier Breaking Pill is the Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    A strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi can increase the probability of breaking through by 20%.


    However, this Pure Yang Purple Qi, because it is the essence harmonized with the spiritual power of a Pure Yang Scroll cultivator, is generally only usable by the cultivator. If it¡¯s to be transferred to other cultivators, a special method must be used to erase the imprinted traces within it, and the effect would be considerably reduced.


    That is why, after being revised by the Old Ancestor Yuan Yang, the Pure Yang Scroll has the lowest entrance threshold among all cultivation techniques, and the simplest, capable of guiding cultivators directly to the ultimate goal of cultivation: Divinity Transformation.


    When Chen Mobai chose this cultivation method, it was precisely because of this advantage, as his talent and comprehension are average.


    The only worry for cultivators practicing this technique is that their lifespan may not be sufficient.


    Apart from the Pure Yang Daoist Body, if you want to successfully break through, you still need to spend time condensing Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    All these require time.


    For the Gold Core first level, it takes roughly sixty years to condense a strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi, while for the Gold Core Perfection, it takes another ten to twenty years.


    ¡°In the future, if Cui and Qiongzhi fail to reach core formation, they might need to ask you for Pure Yang Purple Qi.¡±


    Wen Renxuewei said with a smile, she has Lasting Spring Cultivation, which allows innumerable failures.


    The barrier-breaking function of Pure Yang Purple Qi is also effective for the bottleneck of major realms.


    ¡°I¡¯m still a long way from Pure Yang Scroll Foundation Establishment Perfection, and I don¡¯t even know if I can reach core formation.¡±


    As Pure Yang Scroll cultivators themselves don¡¯t have enough time for cultivation, who would be willing to give Pure Yang Purple Qi to others, Chen Mobai thought for a while and then tactfully refused.


    ¡°That¡¯s why I encouraged junior brother to get the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill. With your talent, as long as you succeed in core formation and condense Pure Yang Purple Qi, combined with the spiritual medicines and Gold Core Nine Revolutions technique of the Immortal Sect, there¡¯re high hopes for Nascent Soul Formation. It¡¯s been a long time since a Pure Yang Scroll Nascent Soul Cultivator appeared in the Immortal Sect.¡±


    Wen Ren Xuewei speculated regretfully. A Nascent Soul Cultivator can condense Pure Yang Purple Qi in just two to three years.


    For the Immortal Sect, this is an endless supply of Barrier Breaking Pills.


    ¡°Senior sister, this tea is not bad.¡±


    Chen Mobai changed the topic, Wen Ren Xuewei saw that he was unwilling to continue and couldn¡¯t do anything but pour him another cup.


    ¡°Junior brother, the Enlightenment Tea was attained through your own strength, let¡¯s consider this Dalit flower as accumulating good karma.¡±


    After finishing the tea, when Chen Mobai made his excuses to leave, Wen Ren Xuewei again pushed the jade box towards him.


    ¡°You Pure Yang Scroll cultivators are most in need of time. Although junior brother¡¯s talent is outstanding, having an extra twenty years from this Dalit flower isn¡¯t bad, consider as a deposit for a strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi, how about it?¡±


    Chen Mobai, who was about to refuse again, hesitated when he heard this. This Dalit flower can also increase lifespan.


    Hearing frequent exchanges between Yu Rulin from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute, Chen Mobai naturally understands how precious spiritual objects that can increase innate lifespan are.


    If this additional twenty years of innate lifespan were converted into replenishing lifespan, it was estimated that it would be enough for him to consume Rejuvenation Spirit Pills for four hundred years.


    ¡°In that case, I respectfully comply.¡±


    Chen Mobai pretended to hesitate for a moment, then reached out and took the jade box off the table.


    ¡°Is he truly worth such an investment?¡±


    After Chen Mobai left, Pei Qingshuang, who had been silent, voiced out. Although she accepted her loss to Chen Mobai, she never felt that she would need to ask him for Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    As the daughter of Tao Hua, she could never be reduced to such condition.


    ¡°Because I might need it. This has caused the two of you to spend quite a sum.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi, who was on the other side, spoke. Her cultivation technique is extremely cold and Yin-based, to advance further, she would need Pure Yang Purple Qi as a fuse, Yin produces Yang.


    When Pei Qingshuang heard this, she nodded in comprehension.


    As the first Yang attribute grand method in the Immortal Sect, the Pure Yang Scroll indeed can match all Yin attribute cultivation techniques.


    ¡°It¡¯s not just this, I noticed his accomplishments in Sword Dao and Thunder method are also rarely seen in the world. Have you considered the possibility of him controlling the Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    Today, Wen Ren Xuewei gave out this Dalit flower to create good karma, paving the way for her two best friends.


    After hearing this, Pei Qingshuang widened her eyes in disbelief and instinctively began to resist.


    ¡°I had struggled incredibly to control the Qing Shuang Sword and drank quite a lot of Enlightenment Tea. I don¡¯t think he can handle it.¡±


    For a Foundation Building Realm cultivator to wield the power of a Rank-4 Sword, in addition to having deep background, a great deal of effort is required. Pei Qingshuang being able to control the Qing Shuang Sword is in itself a remarkable achievement.


    ¡°Others might not be able to do it, but he is the chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, who comprehended the three-stage Thunder method and even mastered sword light shapeshifting in the Foundation Establishment Realm. He can be said to be the most suitable holder of the Purple Electric Sword. After the results of this period of discussion are released, I¡¯m afraid the upper echelons will consider this matter.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang wanted to refute Wenren Xuewei once again, but after thinking about it, she really couldn¡¯t find any reason to refute.


    Born from the Dance Tools, Three-stage Thunder method, Sword Light Transformation!


    Adding up these three, it seems that her background is just a bit deeper than him.


    In this way, Chen Mobai is indeed the providential holder of the ¡°Purple Electric Sword¡±.


    As long as he himself is willing and the Dance Tool Dao Academy gives a little push, this matter is likely to be resolved.


    As for Pei Qingshuang, she felt that with Chen Mobai¡¯s extraordinary talent, the toughest part of communicating with the sword would be effortlessly easy.


    It is expected that after the Purple Electric Sword sensed his potential to become a deity, it would cheer and celebrate, producing a clear and bright sword sound!


    Thinking of this, Pei Qingshuang couldn¡¯t help but become gloomy.


    She has always been proud of her control over the Rank-4 sword in the Foundation Building Realm, but now it seems that this pride will soon be shattered by Chen Mobai.


    However, deep down, Pei Qingshuang felt a small, unspeakable excitement rising.


    If he became the holder of the Purple Electric Sword, it would feel very good.


    Because he is a highly qualified, stronger than her!


    ¡­


    Naturally, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know how loudly the calculations of the three women were reverberating.


    He took the Big Tree Flower back to the Elixir Refining Room and threw the jade box onto the table.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    ¡°A gift from Wenren Xuewei, she said she wanted to form a good relationship with me.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qing Nu responded, recalling the previous scheme by Wenren Xuewei for Pei Qingshuang to intentionally arrive late to secure the Enlightenment Tea for Chen Mobai.


    But she clearly didn¡¯t expect Chen Mobai to be able to defeat Pei Qingshuang, who possesses a Rank-4 Sword.


    This good relationship didn¡¯t come to fruition, but they sent another gift.


    ¡°Is it tea? Sister Wenren¡¯s cultivation of the famous Snow Mist Tea is quite noteworthy. It is said that the parts grafted on to the Big Tree branches have reached rank-3. The department heads in the Daoist Academy who have tasted it have nothing but good things to say.¡±


    As Qing Nu spoke, she opened the jade box to take a look.


    Then, she just stood there, her eyes wide open in surprise.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Big Tree Flower; if it wasn¡¯t for the potential to increase lifespan by twenty years, I wouldn¡¯t have bothered to accept it.¡±


    The words of Chen Mobai woke up Qing Nu from her daze, she quietly closed the jade box and looked at Chen Mobai with a strange gaze.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked down at his clothes and attire. Because his Dance Device Red and Black Robe had been damaged in the fight with Pei Qingshuang, he changed into one of Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s spares. The two had similar body types and the fit was perfect; there was no difference from before.


    ¡°No, nothing. I just didn¡¯t expect that they would see your potential just from a few days of sparring.¡±


    Qing Nu said so, but she secretly felt bitter in her heart.


    It was she who discovered it first.


    It could only be said that Chen Mobai is too excellent that he can¡¯t hide his talent anymore, it would be strange if they didn¡¯t notice.


    ¡°What are your plans for the future, core formation?¡±


    Qing Nu and Chen Mobai sat together. The former used his Pure Yang spiritual power to inject into the Pill Furnace to raise the temperature, and the latter sent his Divine Sense out of the body to harmonize and refine the medicinal ointment in the Pill Furnace, forming a fluid. They were refining the pill together while talking.

    ¡°Yes, core formation is the first goal.¡±


    ¡°However, it will take some time for my Pure Yang Scroll to reach perfection in the Foundation Establishment. In the meantime, I will improve my realm and advance my Pure Yang Daoist Body to Six Yang. Then I will use my spare time to do business and earn some Good Deed Points.¡±


    ¡°After graduation, I want to open a pharmacy. It¡¯s a pity that you entered the immortal gate, otherwise I would have wanted to hire you as the chief Alchemist of my pharmacy.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Qing Nu smiled.


    At least, in the aspect of alchemy, he still considers her as the first choice.

 Chapter 557 - Chapter 557: Chapter 371: The Purple Electric Sword suits me_1

    Chapter 557: Chapter 371: The Purple Electric Sword suits me_1


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard this time.¡±


    In the Elixir Refining Room, Chen Mobai sincerely thanked the stunning young girl standing in front of him as he received a jar of sealed ointment from Qing Nu.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing; you¡¯ve helped me a lot more.¡±


    Qing Nu smiled and cleaned the Magic Artifact equipment used in the Elixir Refining Room. She always remembered Chen¡¯s kindness in Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°I must leave now.¡±


    After putting away the ointment, Chen Mobai checked his phone. The afternoon was the scheduled time for him to leave Linwu Dongtian with Dance Tool Dao Academy. It was already noon.


    Upon hearing this, Qing Nu paused in her sorting of Magic Artifacts, but she still turned around, squinting and smiling, saying, ¡°Safe journey.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, turned around and was just about to leave.


    But his steps suddenly felt heavy, like he had other words he needed to say.


    ¡°What is it? Is there something else?¡±


    Qing Nu, noticing him standing in place, curiously asked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t investigate the matters from our childhood anymore in the Reconstruction Group.¡±


    For some reason, Chen Mobai suddenly blurted out these words.


    Although he had already rejected Kong Feichen, at the moment of parting, he felt that if he didn¡¯t say this, he might regret it in the future.


    When Qing Nu heard this, her previously smiling face instantly froze.


    Her bright eyes seemed to suddenly lose their glow, and she slowly lowered her head.


    ¡°You¡¯re going to be late. You should go.¡±


    Hearing Qing Nu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai scratched his head in annoyance, waved at the girl in front of him, and left the Elixir Refining Room.


    At the shore of Wood God Island.


    Zhuang Jialan and Bian Jingchun, holding a lot of local products, were chatting gossip with Song Yuexin on the water bridge. Seeing Chen Mobai approached, the three girls immediately fell silent and stared at him.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but look at himself again: was he unsuitable for Jiang Yuyuan¡¯s Dancing Device Red and Black Robe?


    ¡°Junior, I heard that the academy is already preparing for you to wield the Purple Electric Sword. Is it true?¡±


    Although Bian Jingchun also admired Chen Mobai, being older, she was direct and asked about the gossip she had just heard.


    ¡°Nonsense!¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head and denied the rumor right away.


    He really wanted to own Rank-4 sword after seeing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s, but the matter was not even under consideration; probably because he and Pei Qingshuang had an intense fight, he had advanced to the Rank-3 in both the Thunder Method and Sword Dao, which led them to put together a pair.


    Once Chen Mobai boarded the water bridge, Song Yuexin immediately transported the four of them towards Small Ye Island.


    ¡°When the wind comes from an empty hole, there must be a reason. I think the news was released intentionally to encourage you to strive for it.¡±


    Since graduating, Bian Jingchun has been honing her skills in the public service and was sensitive to these matters. She spoke words that slightly swayed Chen Mobai.


    ¡°You have done such a great service for the academy, and you¡¯re Chief Che¡¯s disciple. Just tell him how hard it was for you to fight against the Rank-4 Qing Shuang Sword and expressing how nice it would be to have a Rank-4 sword yourself. You don¡¯t have to say it too directly, Chief Che will understand and surely help you.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai, who was not blinded by the Rank-4 sword, voiced his worries.


    ¡°The Purple Electric Sword is the Rank-4 sword of Shanhai Academy, why would they give it to an outsider like me?¡±


    ¡°The Sea-setting Sword was also forged by our Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡± Bian Jingchun shook her finger and started to explain why the Sword Tower of Shanhai Academy had almost half of the top-notch Flying Swords of the Daoist Academy. ¡°Most of the swords in the Sword Tower are kept by others. In addition to being famous for their Sword Cultivation, Shanhai Academy¡¯s casting, maintenance, and repair of swords are also among the top in the Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡°Who currently owns the Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    Chen Mobai was intrigued and began to ask more questions.


    ¡°I have already asked a colleague to inquire. The Qing Shuang Sword belongs to the Nature Studies Academy, but the Purple Electric Sword is a bit complicated. This sword belonged to Qing Shi from the Five Lightning Daoist Academy. After his death, he left this sword to Qing Jing in his will. When Qing Jing also passed away, due to the dispute between the Five Lightning Daoist Academy and the Nature Studies Academy, the Daoist Academy sent both the Purple Lightning and Qing Shuang swords to the Sword Tower of Shanhai Academy.¡±


    The story of Purple Lightning Qingshuang is widely known amongst the Daoist Academy.


    Qing Shi and Qing Jing were arguably teacher and friend. Their beautiful story of breaking through societal norms and becoming Daoist partners touched Chen Mobai when he saw it on TV as a child.

    However, as there were content restrictions when the TV show aired, the roles of the Five Lightning Daoist Academy and Nature Studies Academy were negatively portrayed. As a result, the show was censored with the combined forces of the two academies.


    Thus, Chen Mobai did not know the true story of the ownership of Purple Lightning Qingshuang.


    Qing Shi was from the Five Lightning Daoist Academy and Qing Jing was from the Nature Studies Academy.


    The Purple Electric Sword was the main sword of Qing Shi. It was made with the help of the academy, so it indeed belonged to the Five Lightning Daoist Academy. However, in Qing Shi¡¯s will, he decided to leave the sword to Qing Jing.


    Qing Jing was respected during his lifetime, so the Five Lightning Daoist Academy did not dare to say much.

 Chapter 558 - Chapter 558: Chapter 371: The Purple Electric Sword Suits Me_2

    Chapter 558: Chapter 371: The Purple Electric Sword Suits Me_2


    However, after Master Qing Jing passed away, the Five Thunder Academy immediately wanted to reclaim the Purple Electric Sword from the Nature Studies Academy, which they, of course, were reluctant to part with.


    Both academies were equally powerful, and the dispute grew so large that the Hall Master of the Orthodox Law had to intervene, sending the pair of top-notch swords to the Sword Tower of the Mountain and Sea Academy.


    Watching the drama unfold, the Mountain and Sea Academy could not help but laugh merrily as they accepted the swords.


    ¡°The ownership of the Qing Shuang Sword is clear, it belongs to the Nature Studies Academy. However, the Mountain and Sea Academy, following the command of the Hall of the Orthodox Law, has painstakingly nurtured it for over a hundred years, thus they hold the custody rights of the sword.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, Pei Qingshuang first entered the Mountain and Sea Academy, then the Jumang Daoist Academy intervened to resolve things with the Nature Studies Academy. In addition, she is extremely talented, so she was able to wield the Qing Shuang Sword.¡±


    ¡°If you want the Purple Electric Sword, it will be a bit more troublesome. You not only need to deal with the Mountain and Sea Academy and the Nature Studies Academy, but also the Five Thunder Academy, which has been eyeing the sword.¡±


    After hearing what Bian Jingchun had found out over the past two days, Chen Mobai thought of his close friends Wenren Xuewei, Yan Qiongzhi, and Pei Qingshuang. He showed a look of sudden realization.


    Isn¡¯t Yan Qiongzhi from the Nature Studies Academy? So that¡¯s how they formed this connection.


    ¡°Listening to your analysis, sister Bian, I feel like I¡¯m getting farther and farther from this Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai was becoming quite famous now, his title as the top Foundation Establishment cultivator of Immortal Cultivation wasn¡¯t enough to make the three major academies approve him as the wielder of the Purple Electric Sword.


    Even if he reached the Core Formation stage right now, the three major academies would still not grant him this honor.


    Unless, the Daoist Academy is willing to intervene!


    ¡°Master, I went all out this time to restore the glory of the dance instruments, painstakingly getting a loan from my own talisman factory to purchase the Sword Sha for condensing evil qi, which resulted in its permanent loss¡­¡±


    After receiving guidance from Bian Jingchun, Chen Mobai quickly led everyone onto their Flying Artifact and returned to Crimson City.


    Upon arriving at the Daoist Academy, he handed over the formalities of receiving the guests to Hua Zijing while he himself hurried to Che Yucheng¡¯s office. Wearing a heavy expression, he started recounting how diligently he had worked during the Daoist Academy exchange event and how significantly he had sacrificed for the glory of the academy.


    He was so close to shedding Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew tears to express how heartbroken he was for losing a Sword Sha!


    ¡°Hmm, indeed, that was a significant loss for the sake of the academy. In order not to discourage all the students and to set an example for future generations, I think the academy should not only compensate you for your losses but also greatly reward you.¡±


    Upon hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words that made his heart bloom with joy after his complaints, Chen Mobai felt obliged to maintain a fa?ade.


    ¡°Master, it is my duty to bring glory to the academy.¡±


    ¡°Ah, that shouldn¡¯t be the attitude. Reward and merit go hand in hand. I will propose this issue in the teacher¡¯s meeting this week and see if we can apply to compensate you with a Fire Yang Evil.¡±


    Ah, there¡¯s a Fire Yang Evil in the Daoist Academy?


    Chen Mobai was not even aware of this. But then, he quickly came to his senses.


    What did a Fire Yang Evil count for? He wanted the Purple Electric Sword!


    ¡°Master, you don¡¯t need to reward me too much. A token of appreciation would suffice.¡±


    Chen Mobai tactfully added another sentence.


    ¡°Then what do you think would be an appropriate reward?¡±


    Che Yucheng asked in a democratic manner, kindly asking Chen Mobai for his opinion.


    ¡°I heard online that the Mountain and Sea Academy has a Purple Electric Sword, and they all say it goes well with me.¡±


    Che Yucheng was momentarily speechless as he saw Chen Mobai actually had the audacity to say this.


    ¡°That¡¯s a Rank-4 sword.¡±


    ¡°Master, didn¡¯t you also give sister Bian a Rank-4 True Dragon Ding? Not only did I successfully complete the task she should have accomplished, but I also surpassed expectations by bringing the Daoist Academy back to the top spot.¡±


    Chen Mobai subtly expressed his reasoning, implying that he had made such significant contributions and thus the Daoist Academy should consider giving him a Rank-4 Magic Artifact.


    ¡°That was lent to her. After coming back this time, she will have to return it to Senior Sister Duanmu before leaving the Daoist Academy.¡±


    With a helpless look, Che Yucheng spoke,


    ¡°Ah, I see.¡±


    Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment crossed Chen Mobai¡¯s face, feeling his dreams of wielding the Purple Electric Sword were likely over.


    ¡°However, since you¡¯ve made significant achievements this time, I¡¯ll see if I can arrange something but I can¡¯t promise anything.¡±


    In the end, it was these words from Che Yucheng that rekindled a glimmer of hope in Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    The master-disciple pair spoke a little more in detail afterwards. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t withhold anything and revealed that Wenren Xuewei had gifted him the Big Tree flower to form good karma.


    ¡°Just keep it. Jumang and our Dance Instruments have navigated countless years together as allies. During my 200 years of oversight, the relationship has been very good.¡±


    With Che Yucheng¡¯s reassurance, Chen Mobai finally felt at ease.


    After some hesitation, he chose not to utter a word about Kong Feichen and the Devouring Heaven Serpent, not due to any distrust in Che Yucheng but rather, Chen Mobai felt such things were better left unsaid.


    ¡°You should drink the Enlightenment Tea as soon as possible.¡±


    Worried that Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know, Che Yucheng gave him a reminder.


    ¡°Alright, Master, I plan to rest tonight and then find a place in Building Nine to drink it tomorrow.¡±


    Apart from hurrying back, another major reason for Chen Mobai¡¯s rush was to drink the Enlightenment Tea.


    ¡°Hmm, you are an adult now, I won¡¯t tell you how to live your life. Foundation Establishment cultivators drinking Enlightenment tea can glimpse their future Dao journey while in this profound realm. Remember not to waste this opportunity.¡±


    There is a limit to what a True Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage can see, such that many perceive their own cultivation technique realm as flawless when in fact, at a higher level, it is full of holes.


    But in the Enlightenment Realm, you can see further and more clearly.


    Even considering the entire Immortal Sect, the Enlightenment Tea is among the rarest spiritual objects.


    ¡°Master, if the Enlightenment Tea is so powerful, why not use it to enhance some exceptional talents like Meng Huang, who is a Sound Dao genius in cultivating the Shocking God Sonata? If she could use this for foundation establishment and Core Formation, wouldn¡¯t that be great?¡±


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai thought of his good friend. It had been more than a year since he last saw her, and he missed her voice.


    Che Yucheng: ¡°Do you know how many cultivators there are in the Immortal Sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai:¡±Three hundred million!¡±


    This number is always being advertised. Due to the longevity of cultivators, the population has been increasing since the last war of expansion. Recently, the Immortal Sect has even started to implement family planning.


    Che Yucheng: ¡°Of three hundred million cultivators, the last thing we lack is talent. The oldest Nascent Soul masters in the Immortal Sect are nearing a thousand years old. In this millennium, they have cultivated hundreds of talents who hoped to master the Shocking God Sonata, but only a handful of them, three to be exact, have been able to achieve Core Formation. If Jiang Yuyuan manages to establish his foundation through his own talent, that indicates his worth in further cultivation. Meng Huang, if she needs Enlightenment Tea just to establish her foundation, then it¡¯s definitely impossible for her to succeed in Core Formation.¡±


    Despite not having been clearly put, Chen Mobai already understood Che Yucheng¡¯s intentions.


    The Immortal Sect is indeed short in resources but not in talent.


    Even a Heavenly Spiritual Root appears every once in a while, let alone a mere Sound Dao genius.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If Meng Huang can succeed in her foundation establishment through her own talent and determination, the Nascent Soul masters in the Immortal Sect, who are eager for the Shocking God Sonata, will undoubtedly spare no resources and will exhaust all efforts to cultivate her to Core Formation and even Nascent Soul Formation.


    But if she can¡¯t even get past this first checkpoint to the Cultivation path, it¡¯s better to give up early and save resources.


    ¡°Of course, prodigies like you are indeed quite rare. Let me see if I can get word of your achievements to the principal. If he¡¯s willing to intervene, getting the Purple Electric Sword will be no problem.¡±


    Seeing the dazed look on Chen Mobai¡¯s face, Che Yucheng thought he might have come on a bit strong with his previous words and added in a more pleasant tone.


    ¡°Master, you are overestimating me. I just work a little harder and happened to have a bit of fate on my side,¡± Chen Mobai replied humbly before bidding goodbye and leaving.

 Chapter 559 - Chapter 559: 372

    chapter 559: 372


    before he left, chen mobai made sure che yucheng got him a pass so he could go to the library and redeem the gold core and core formation insights from the pure yang scroll.


    although he was still far from reaching the core formation stage, enlightenment tea could allow him to see the process in advance.


    after picking up the corresponding cultivation techniques and resources from the library, chen mobai also downloaded some papers on puppet factories from the campus network before going to the student union.


    leading the triumphant return of the dance tool dao academy team naturally called for a proper celebration.


    hua zijing had already adeptly organized a celebratory banquet.


    chen mobai didn¡¯t forget to change his clothes in his office, as the dancing device red and black robe he was wearing, in fact, belonged to jiang yuyuan.


    ¡°junior brother, please guide me a lot in the next few years.¡±


    mid-drinks, bian jingchun flushed slightly and toasted to chen mobai.


    chen mobai didn¡¯t quite grasp the meaning of her words, but respectfully clinked glasses with her.


    after everyone had eaten and drank their fill, the gathering dispersed.


    sun daoji and chi shicheng set off together for crimson city. both had booked their departure for the next day, and had bid chen mobai farewell before leaving.


    ¡°when you come back to wangwu heaven, you can look for us.¡±


    both worked at the central hub of the fairy gate and wanted to get liquid gold jade rejuvenation pills for their core formation.


    ¡°very well, journey safely, brothers.¡±


    chen mobai had originally wanted to ask chi shicheng about the devouring heaven serpent, but then thought about how he was completely clueless about the subject. just in case this was exclusive technology of the ascension sect, it would be like exposing his collusion with the heretical cult.


    so, upon careful consideration, he decided to put it on hold for the moment.


    friend or not, he would have opportunities to talk to him later.


    after all the guest had left, chen mobai returned to his little cottage.


    looking up, he was surprised to see the lights on in meng huang¡¯s villa up the hill.


    but considering it was the end of term and exams were around the corner, it was normal for her to return.


    chen mobai didn¡¯t put too much thought into it, he transported himself to the tianhe realm from within his room.


    things in xiao nanshan were still the same, but after opening the cloud mist array at the top of the hill, he found two message talismans.


    they were from his two apprentices.


    now was the time for the sect competition. his eldest apprentice had been injured in the big battle with the mountain shaker peak, and although he had recovered, his cultivation level had dropped by two stages, so he did not participate this year.


    zhuo ming and luo yixuan, on the other hand, had signed up.


    zhuo ming participated to gain more magic duel experience and also because the business at south mountain shop in divine wood city needed tending to by the end of the year.


    luo yixuan¡¯s reasons were different. she was aiming for one of the twenty-four true transmission spots this year, with a determination to make her master proud.


    before departing, both of luo yixuan and zhuo ming sent message talismans to the closed-off chen mobai.


    after reading the contents, chen mobai nodded, estimated the time, and if luo yixuan became a true transmission, he figured he would be able to make it to the last few rounds.


    after replying to both apprentices, chen mobai saw that there wasn¡¯t much happening on the divine wood sect¡¯s side, so he returned to the daoist academy.


    that night, he didn¡¯t meditate. instead, he turned off the lights, went to bed, and had a good night¡¯s sleep.


    atop the hill, inside an elegantly designed villa¡¯s second-floor living room, an attractive figure with a great body and long, slim waist stood in front of the window. she watched as the lights in the cabin at the foot of the hill went out, her beautiful face slightly stunned.


    [think about it carefully, you only have one chance.]


    the colorful silhouette on her phone screen slowly faded, leaving behind a message.


    it was only after the text disappeared that meng huang slowly came back to her senses.


    [a chance, only one¡­]


    the next day.


    chen mobai woke up naturally, feeling his spirit, qi, and health had reached their peak.


    he didn¡¯t waste any time, and after using the short teleportation talisman to get to the daoist academy, he went straight to building 9 to book a cultivation room for the week.


    although the enlightenment tea only lasts for three days, he had to leave extra room for himself.


    while he was scanning to pay his good deed points, chen mobai noticed several unread messages.


    they were all from his good friends in the academy who had heard he had returned in glory and sent their congratulations.


    while casually scrolling through the messages, chen mobai found one from meng huang mixed in as well.


    [do you have time recently?]


    chen mobai glanced at it and immediately ignored it.


    the end of the year was always his busiest time. right now, in addition to his main task of taking the enlightenment tea, the student union also needed to pre-schedule the curriculum for all majors in the academy for the next year.


    read latest chapters at wuxiaworld.site only


    these tasks involved communication with various teachers and students and, with hua zijing graduating, if chen mobai didn¡¯t step in, it was estimated it could drag on until the beginning of next year before being completed.


    in addition, if his apprentice in the divine wood sect truly got into the final rounds, he, as the master, should be there to watch, both in emotion and in reason.


    once these three tasks were completed, he needed to go to crimson city to audit and file taxes for their symbol factory by the end of the year. since it involved the factory¡¯s mortgage loan, he, as the legal representative, had to be present; otherwise, it was doubtful if the accounts would be approved by the bank and the academy.


    chen mobai neatly listed the tasks he needed to do after consuming the enlightenment tea in his mind. compared with these, maintaining friendship with meng huang quite simply fell to the bottom of the list.


    after replying to the congratulatory messages from his good friends such as ming yuhua, chen ran his finger across his phone screen and essentially pretended he hadn¡¯t seen meng huang¡¯s message.

 Chapter 561 - Chapter 561: Chapter 373 Thousand Swords Dharma Body_1

    chapter 561: chapter 373 thousand swords dharma body_1


    after studying the pure yang scroll and the art of puppetry, chen mobai realized that he had already spent two days on the enlightenment tea.


    he took a fasting pill, then looked at the stack of textbooks on symbol-making left on the floor.


    he had originally estimated that he should have had half a day left over, but now it seemed that things were going even better than planned.


    instead of picking up the symbol-making textbooks, he removed the ¡°myriad law body¡± given by yu lian from his storage bag.


    under the effects of the enlightenment tea, his thoughts were entirely different from usual.


    this art of embodiment from the tianhe realm, which he normally found very powerful, now seemed utterly incredible.


    the mystery of the myriad law body was no less profound than the topnotch divine techniques at the immortal gate.


    it even surpassed them somewhat.


    considering the situation in the tianhe realm, chen mobai had reason to believe that this cultivation technique was not created by the ancestor of eternity, but was a secret technique passed down from his predecessors.


    like how the ancestor honoring unifying element of the five elements sect received the inheritance of yuan true monarch, it was possible that the ancestor of eternity also received a similar chance from an ancient sect like the ascended monk or the eternal way, which allowed him to cultivate the myriad law body.


    in the sage state, chen mobai became aware of the extraordinary nature of myriad law body.


    after the pure yang scroll and the art of puppetry, he temporarily moved this cultivation technique to the third place for comprehension.


    it was at this moment that he understood why the formless puppet previously had failed during the operation and required a core direction to be set.


    after finishing reading the handwritten copy of myriad law body from the silver sky sect, chen mobai nodded thoughtfully.


    began with the most straightforward palm, and then gradually formed the entire myriad law body.


    he immediately thought of the yin and yang five elements seven stars sword arm given by zuo gong and the five elements sword finger deduced from the formless puppet combined with his own circumstances.


    in the cultivation room, under his divine sense control, the spiritual energy began to slowly gather towards his right, and slowly, a semi-transparent phalanx made purely of spiritual power emerged on the back of chen mobai¡¯s raised right hand.


    then all the liquid longevity spiritual power emerged from the six yang divine fire mirror, fused with the longevity spiritual power in his qi sea, and in a flash he was back in the state of foundation establishment perfection.


    under the operation of his most powerful longevity and immortality scripture, he used the sword light shapeshifting to evolve the divine wood sword light.


    as the five elements sword finger was functioning, the huge semi-transparent phalanx floating in the void of the room was also covered with the green divine wood sword light, lush and dripping, as if the fingertip enveloped a piece of nature.


    after the index finger, the spiritual energy in the room converged again, and under chen mobai¡¯s divine sense control, it condensed into another semi-transparent ring finger phalanx.


    during the operation of red flame sword jue, because the green-sun fire was not added, only the red flame sword light lit up. but this was just for practicing myriad law body, so being more delicate in strength was better.


    then came the gengjin sword light, black ice sword light, and wu earth sword glow, all coming out one after another as he exercised his divine sense with the cultivation technique.


    in an instant, five phalanges longer than his height emerged in the void of the room, like a claw from the underworld, with the tips of the fingers shining in the five elements color of sword light, which looked very mysterious.


    using the five elements sword finger, he entered the myriad law body in a comprehensive way.


    next, he just needed to use the formless puppet for deduction, set the all contents of sword destruction collection to be introduced, and perhaps he could cultivate a thousand swords dharma body.


    after the myriad law body was understood, chen mobai looked at the time again and found that there were only two hours left.


    he calmly picked up a book on the content of talismans and started reading.


    it seemed like the last bit of time during the previous soul awakening dao pill was also used to digest the talisman textbook, and now it was the same.


    after finishing the rank-2 textbook, chen mobai began reading the rank-3 one.


    he did not look at specific talisman drawing methods, but started reading some commonly used basic knowledge in it to solidify his foundation.


    by the time he had finished half of the second book, a wave of fatigue that was indescribable came over him.


    in the sea of knowledge at the purple mansion, the azure jade parasol tree that evolved from his divine sense seemed to have wilted at this time, as if it was lacking moisture and has lost its luster.


    chen mobai knew that the effect of enlightenment tea had passed, so he immediately took out the clear eyesight bamboo spirit dew and dripped it into his eyes again and again.


    only after nearly two tubes of clear eyesight bamboo spirit dew were refined into the sea of knowledge did the feeling of tiredness slowly disappear.


    then, chen mobai took out the big tree flower given by miss snowy veil.


    the refining of this spiritual object was very simple, he took it out of the jade box and placed it on his forehead.


    his divine sense came out and enveloped the big tree flower.


    then the green-white petals began to disappear one after another. this meant that they were being absorbed into his divine sense. for every petal that disappeared from his physical body, another appeared in his sea of knowledge at the purple palace.


    after a while, the entire big tree flower had been refined into the sea of knowledge at the purple palace.


    read latest chapters at wuxiaworld.site only


    streams of freshness emerged from the petals, blending into various parts of the sea of knowledge at the purple palace. chen mobai¡¯s brain, which had been fatigued due to overuse, began to feel light and relaxed.


    meanwhile, the two small azure jade parasol trees separated by his god controlling art was also quickly absorbing the clear eyesight bamboo spirit dew in the sea of knowledge, like inflating a balloon, completed their growth quickly.


    chen mobai no longer forced himself to stay awake, naturally closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.


    he slept continuously for three days and three nights.


    when chen mobai woke up, he couldn¡¯t help stretching himself. he felt his mind was clearer than ever before, and his body seemed to have gotten younger.

 Chapter 562 - Chapter 562: Chapter 373 Thousand Swords Dharma Body_2

    chapter 562: chapter 373 thousand swords dharma body_2


    this must be the reason why my lifespan has increased by twenty years after refining the dalit flower.


    he felt his divine consciousness and could not help but showed a look of surprise.


    after successively taking the enlightenment tea and the dalit flower, the intensity of his divine consciousness had actually reached the sixth level of foundation building, which was the limit of the sea of knowledge at the purple mansion he established using the verdant heart.


    a large, lush branch occupied the central position of the sea of knowledge at the purple mansion. the two branches split for the cultivation of divine manipulation technique have disappeared.


    thinking back to when the two branches of the jade-colored paulownia grew rapidly to perfection before he fell asleep, chen mobai suspected that he may have completed a god merging in his dreams.


    reflecting on what qing nu said about the ability of enlightenment tea to increase divine consciousness, chen mobai couldn¡¯t help but be amazed. he didn¡¯t expect the effect to be so great.


    no wonder it¡¯s the number one spirit plant of the immortal sect, when it¡¯s made into tea with leaves from the dalit tree.


    but after the surprise, chen mobai felt his rapidly increasing divine consciousness and new worries flooded his mind.


    the qi sea in his dantian had been shattered by the fruit of the everlife tree and he got rid of all the bottlenecks before the core formation. cultivating pure yang scroll only required a gathering of spiritual power, and he could directly reach the pinnacle of the foundation building.


    but the sea of knowledge at the purple mansion was different. the current sixth level of foundation building was already the limit after he developed it with the verdant heart. if he wanted to make further breakthroughs, he could only rely on his own efforts.


    however, it was well-known that even though the immortal sect divided the foundation establishment realm into nine levels, the bottleneck from the sixth to the seventh level was still the most difficult in this realm.


    who knows how long it will take to break through?


    but after sighing for a while, chen mobai pulled himself together.


    he believed he would break through someday. if he really could not rely on his internal forces, he would think of borrowing external forces when the time came.


    although the spiritual objects used to open the purple mansion are extremely rare and expensive, chen mobai believed that as long as his position in divine wood sect keeps rising, there must be a way.


    after all, the resources in the tianhe realm are abundant, and even if they are not in the eastern wilderness, they must exist in the vast world outside of the eastern wilderness.


    after tidying up the books and draft papers scattered around the room and putting them into his storage bag, chen mobai found something good.


    the calyx and stem of the dalit flower.


    the petals were already refined into the sea of knowledge at his purple mansion for consolidating his spirit and suppressing his heart demons. but the flower calyx and the stem did not work the same way.


    chen mobai opened his phone and called qing nu to ask how to deal with it.


    [i¡¯m not sure about that. after all, the dalit flower is extremely rare and i¡¯ve never had direct contact with it. you should ask elder sister wenren, she should know.]


    after listening to her, chen mobai asked wenren xuewei about it.


    [the biggest use of this is to graft other spirit plants, such as my snow mist tea, which is grafted onto the dalit tree after the branches are refined from the dalit flower to absorb the wood energy, and then planted in the quiet small realm for nurturing. of course, using it as material for alchemy is also possible. there are numerous alchemy formulas in the immortal sect that use it.]


    asking the right person this time, wenren xuewei informed chen mobai in detail on how to utilize the dalit flower stem and calyx, and finally sent chen mobai the link to her thesis on tea cultivation.


    however, this method is hard to replicate by others, after all, chen mobai couldn¡¯t possibly run to jumang daoist academy again for the sake of mere grafting.


    the jumang daoist academy might not even be willing to help.


    wenren xuewei was able to use the dalit tree to cultivate tea because she had formed her lasting spring cultivation. if chen mobai wanted to graft the stem to the dalit tree, he probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to break the bark of this number one spirit plant of the immortal sect.


    after chen mobai finished reading wenren xuewei¡¯s thesis on tea cultivation, he put the stem and calyx of the dalit flower back into the jade box, planning to use them for alchemy in the future.


    but just then, he suddenly thought of the three trees of everlife wood in the divine tree secret realm.


    could the stem and calyx of the dalit flower be grafted onto the everlife wood?


    or onto his own green paulownia seedling that had been cultivated for a long time?


    the three trees of everlife wood in the divine tree secret realm were rank-4 spirit wood. although they were far inferior to the dalit tree, they were equivalent to the jade paulownia of danxia city.


    perhaps he could harness the wood energy of the everlife wood, successfully graft it, and cultivate tea seeds?


    with this thought, could the rank-4 jade paulownia in danxia city also work¡­


    as chen mobai¡¯s thoughts towed the line of divergence, the stirrings within him seemed like a runaway horse. his thoughts became more profound and agile, much like how the residual effects of the enlightenment tea worked their magic in the sea of knowledge at the purple palace.


    it was said that regular consumption of enlightenment tea would permanently enhance one¡¯s understanding. was this indeed why?


    his thoughts turned to the divine tree secret realm!


    chen mobai suddenly remembered he had released the devouring heaven serpent, inflated from devouring too many spirit stones, into the realm. he wondered how the creature was faring now.


    though keen to pay the realm a visit, the seven-day room rental he had was drawing to a close. moreover, the place he was in didn¡¯t feel like home, making it unfitting for him to vanish abruptly.


    after checking out, chen mobai made his way to the student council office.


    ¡°oh, you say that senior sister bian did not leave but has been in the treasure trove cultivating all this while.¡±


    inside the council office, chen mobai grew pensive upon hearing zhuang jialan¡¯s report. he remembered the words she had uttered during the dismissal dinner.


    ¡°yes, she had initially made a deal to return the true dragon ding to vice principal duanmu before her departure. nevertheless, the magic artifact has been incredibly beneficial to senior sister bian¡¯s training in the dragon transformation scripture technique. thus, she decided to temporarily step down from her duties at crimson city, planning to stay within the treasure trove for a few years.¡±


    ¡°did the daoist academy give an implicit agreement?¡±


    it felt as if bian jingchun was blatantly taking advantage of a loophole. in principle, the daoist academy definitely wouldn¡¯t tolerate it.


    ¡°if a teacher addresses the matter, then naturally it must be dealt with. but if no one brings up the issue, then everyone can pretend they know nothing about it.¡±


    the one who spoke was hua zijing. although she was no longer part of the student council, she frequented its office almost every day during her final moments at the daoist academy, claiming she was accustomed to the atmosphere.


    upon hearing her words, chen mobai recalled that bian jingchun¡¯s teacher was hong mengkui, the master of crimson city. before his tenure, he was the head of the taoist institute¡¯s artifact-refining department, a man with an extensive network.


    it was rumored that if it weren¡¯t for his voluntary departure from the academy, he could have landed a vice-principal position by now.


    ¡°if senior sister bian needs help, our student council should lend a hand.¡±


    chen mobai had gotten on rather well with bian jingchun. having one more powerful person in the treasure trove was good news for the student council.


    ¡°by the way, president, this is the list of new members who want to join us next year.¡±


    zhuang jialan handed chen mobai a prepared list of names. she had profoundly changed since she first joined the student council, showing a knack for official tasks.


    ¡°eh, how did these two get in together?¡±


    chen mobai skimmed the new list, glancing over the majority being from the metaphysical class and including zhongli tianyu, the future poster child of the council.


    however, the names of lan yufan and lu zixuan left him slightly miffed.


    ¡°is there a problem with these two? i find their resumes quite impressive, and they are geniuses from the 5012 class. lu zixuan was once considered your equal as the top beast tamer.¡±


    zhuang jialan, not of the metaphysical class circle, was unaware of the love-hate relationship between lan yufan and lu zixuan. but chen mobai knew fully well.


    ¡°wait a minute; i need to make a call.¡±


    he wouldn¡¯t want to place his good friend in an awkward spot. to avoid further awkwardness within the council in the future, he turned and walked over to the window to call lan yufan, informing him of the situation.


    ¡°ah, you¡¯re talking about that. i guess i forgot to inform you ¨C zixuan and i are back together. but she can¡¯t get past the embarrassment, so we didn¡¯t announce it. when she heard i was joining the student council, she insisted on joining too. now that you know, please don¡¯t let word get out.¡±


    chen mobai hung up, a speechless expression on his face.


    did the couple think they had discovered the ultimate path to cultivation?

    ¡°mr. president, should we revise the list?¡±


    zhuang jialan asked as he approached the window.


    ¡°no need, let¡¯s leave it as it is.¡±


    after saying this, chen mobai reviewed and approved the rest of the documents. by the time he returned to his small wooden hut, the sky had darkened.


    he clicked on turtle treasure and teleported to the divine tree secret realm to check on the devouring heaven serpent.

 Chapter 563 - Chapter 563: Chapter 374: Resolving Inner Conflicts (6k)_1

    chapter 563: chapter 374: resolving inner conflicts (6k)_1


    amidst the flickering silver light, chen mobai had already arrived at the divine tree secret realm.


    after skillfully activating the mysterious fog talisman, the sight in front of him made him somewhat stunned.


    in the area previously shrouded by fog, nearly half of the red-sun spirit trees had become bare, with only branches and trunk remaining.


    where were the leaves?


    just as he wondered this, a ray of xuan guang rushed towards chen mobai. he casually waved his hand, and the long-unused heavenly wood spirit light transformed into a light ball, enveloping the xuan guang.


    upon closer look, it was indeed the devouring heaven serpent.


    it was just that the corner of the serpent¡¯s mouth still held half a leaf that hadn¡¯t been fully consumed. the serpent was trapped within the heavenly wood spirit light, twisting and coiling around restlessly, but it couldn¡¯t break free at all.


    a vegetarian snake, it was the first time chen mobai had come across such a thing, and he couldn¡¯t help but marvel at it.


    putting the palm of his heavenly wood spirit light in front of him, he engaged his void spirit eye, examining this masterpiece of the ascension sect up and down carefully.


    after consuming the spirit stone he provided, the devouring heaven serpent had evolved into a true demonic beast. the fluctuation of its spiritual power had already reached the level of qi cultivation.


    perhaps due to its hunger during this period, and the fact it had eaten a significant amount of leaves, the flesh, blood and spiritual power of the devouring heaven serpent now contained traces of wood attribute.


    chen mobai didn¡¯t interfere. after confirming that the devouring heaven serpent could survive in this divine tree secret realm, he once again drew up an even broader mysterious fog talisman before releasing the slightly green serpent from his hand into it.


    ¡°i need to find a way to make a beast tamer contract with the devouring heaven serpent.¡±


    watching the white mist constantly generated and enclosed the area he had delineated, chen mobai was considering how to establish a mental connection with the devouring heaven serpent he had raised.


    however, he did not consider the beast tamer contracts within the immortal sects as the beast protection forces led by the kunpeng daoist institute advocate for the equal and harmonious coexistence of cultivators and spirit beasts. hence, there are no master-servant contracts.


    when lu qiulong fought chen mobai back then, in order to use his full strength, he was instead dissuaded by his spirit beast. this is because their relationship was one of equal friends.


    if this were in the tianhe realm, where there wasn¡¯t much nonsense, with a single command from the cultivator, the spirit beast would directly start fighting.


    given the dubious origins of the devouring heaven serpent, chen mobai thought it was better to use the spirit beast contract system from the tianhe realm.


    with this thought, he made his move.


    he clicked on his turtle treasure again and teleported to xiao nanshan.


    it was also time to go to divine wood city to watch his junior disciple¡¯s sect competition. chen mobai first sent a message talisman to chen mobai and other familiar friends, inviting them to gather.


    then chen mobai called over his senior disciple.


    ¡°wen bo, i remember that you are a disciple in the beast tamer department.¡±


    ¡°yes, teacher.¡±


    ¡°what does the sect say about entering a contract with spirit beasts?¡±


    liu wenbo immediately began to elaborate on the three types of contracts within the beast tamer department.


    ¡°normally, qi cultivation disciples would only sign the blood curse contract. as long as the spirit beast¡¯s strength doesn¡¯t exceed a big realm compared to the beast tamer, the contract can always be effective.¡±


    ¡°then there¡¯s the divine consciousness contract. this requires the cultivator to infuse a wisp of their divine consciousness into the sea of consciousness of the spirit beast. even if the realm exceeds, they can still have control.¡±


    ¡°the highest grade contract is the soul contract, but that requires the spirit beast and the cultivator to establish a mental connection and hold mutual trust. this is an unbreakable contract. however, both parties share triumph and defeat.¡±


    after listening, chen mobai immediately ruled out the soul contract, inquiring about the methods of the blood curse and divine consciousness contracts.


    liu wenbo immediately explained the key points of the blood curse contract, which was something he had learned from his family when he was young. however, because the divine consciousness contract was exchanged from the sect¡¯s book pavilion, it couldn¡¯t be disclosed according to the rules.


    however, this was a small matter for chen mobai.


    he immediately piloted the ¡°red misty cloud silk¡± and took his senior disciple to the book pavilion. with his foundation establishment cultivator status, he easily got the content of the divine consciousness contract.


    once he got what he wanted, chen mobai did not rush to return to the divine tree secret realm.


    he watched luo yixuan¡¯s sect competition in divine wood city with liu wenbo. just in time, he witnessed her using the dark water in combination with ice breath, defeating a fellow ninth-ranked qi cultivation sect disciple.


    ¡°not bad, you¡¯ve got some of my old flair.¡±


    seeing this scene, chen mobai looked pleased.


    when he used to cultivate qi, he fought demonic beasts on green light island and participated in the entrance exam in red sandstone city, he relied almost exclusively on his proficient cold ice technique.


    now, luo yixuan had inherited his true teachings of the cold ice technique. under the condition of not using rank-2 magic artifacts, she defeated her opponent, advancing into the twenty-four true transmissions ranking.


    at this moment, he couldn¡¯t help remembering how he had practiced the ice breath diligently under guidance of yan bingxuan.


    seeing luo yixuan on stage commanding the dark water to shape ice, moving as gracefully as a startled swan, chen mobai felt a sense of achievement and satisfaction as a mentor.


    ¡°teacher.¡±

    in no time, liu wenbo led zhuo ming and luo yixuan over. both girls showed surprise and delight at seeing him.


    ¡°xuan¡¯er, you did very well.¡±


    chen mobai commended her, and luo yixuan beamed, bowing slightly. pleasure was evident in her eyes.


    ¡°even though you were eliminated ming¡¯er, don¡¯t be too discouraged. aim to become a true transmission disciple within six years.¡±


    zhuo ming nodded, but she wasn¡¯t perturbed by the loss. having made it through three rounds before losing was already an improvement from her previous performances.

 Chapter 564 - Chapter 564: Chapter 374: Resolving Inner Conflicts (6k)_2

    chapter 564: chapter 374: resolving inner conflicts (6k)_2


    the group of four, master and disciples, didn¡¯t continue to watch the sect¡¯s grand competition, instead, they returned to chen mobai¡¯s courtyard in divine wood city.


    ¡°master, my next opponent is my brother,¡± luo yixuan randomly stated on the way back.


    ¡°luo yixiu?¡±


    chen mobai had almost forgotten about him. after the great battle at mountain shaker peak, luo shupin was proven to have not betrayed the sect, so luo yixiu was allowed to continue his cultivation within the divine wood sect.


    ¡°yes, our family will support him with at least one foundation building pill, they seem to be betting on his successful foundation establishment.¡±


    according to the customs in the tianhe realm, once luo yixuan became a disciple of xiao nanshan¡¯s lineage, it was as if she had gotten married. although she still had some emotional bonds with the luo family, they were far less than those with luo yixiu, the legitimate direct male descendant of the family.


    therefore, the luo family still invested resources in luo yixiu, hoping that after his successful foundation establishment, he could replace luo shupin and provide support for the family within the sect.


    ¡°in this competition, you don¡¯t need to hold back like before. give it your all and let everyone see how remarkable you are.¡±


    chen mobai understood luo yixuan¡¯s inner turmoil and told her not to worry, assuring her that he had her back.


    ¡°yes, master!¡±


    as expected, this made luo yixuan more cheerful.


    for the first half of her life, she had suppressed her own cultivation progress and compromised in everything for the sake of luo yixiu. the frustration of needing to pretend to be less competent than her brother had caused her character to become slightly distorted.


    fortunately, she met chen mobai, a good teacher, and under the simple and unpretentious influence of xiao nanshan¡¯s gate, she gradually turned into a normal female cultivator.


    however, luo yixiu had always been a thorn in her side.


    now, she could take advantage of this sect grand competition to finally resolve it.


    that night, chen mobai invited yuan chiye and yan jinye to reminisce about the past.


    e yun and yue zutao were still outside the sect, one guarding yun country and the other lei nation, neither had plans to return this year.


    another familiar new foundation establishment owner, yu lian, had also been sent on a secret mission by the sect. chen mobai had a vague idea of his task but didn¡¯t interfere.


    in addition to the three foundation establishment owners, chen mobai also invited qi rui, xi jinghuo, and other friends he had made during his qi cultivation period. everyone respected him greatly and all attended.


    zhuo ming brought out five jars of new wine. although they were all rank-1, the tastes were different, and everyone was satisfied.


    the next day, chen mobai led his two disciples to a teahouse to watch the match between luo yixuan and luo yixiu.


    at first, luo yixiu was full of confidence, because he had never lost to luo yixuan since childhood.


    even before the match, he was trying to persuade luo yixuan to admit defeat, so he wouldn¡¯t accidentally hurt her.


    in response to this, luo yixuan only had one thing to say.


    ¡°brother, actually, i¡¯ve been holding back all this time.¡±


    however, this truthful statement angered luo yixiu. he attacked first, wanting to prove that he was better than his sister with his strength.


    but reality was cruel. without using the divine wood sword, luo yixuan used the cold ice technique guided by chen mobai and broke through the three spells that made luo yixiu proud.


    ¡°how is this possible¡­¡±


    on the martial arts platform, after being defeated by luo yixuan, luo yixiu was left in disbelief. he gave a dazed look and mumbled to himself, unable to believe that his position as the first in the family for over two decades was actually due to his sister¡¯s leniency.


    ¡°brother, from now on, i won¡¯t let you win again.¡±


    after saying these words, luo yixuan simply turned around and left the martial arts platform.


    at that moment, luo yixuan felt that the dark cloud that had oppressed her since childhood finally dissipated.


    she had never felt so relaxed and at ease. it was as if her divine sense and body had been freed, floating leisurely in the clear river, enjoying the freedom of flowing to the endless sea.


    with an unprecedentedly relaxed look, luo yixuan arrived at the teahouse.


    upon reaching the second floor, luo yixuan saw her smiling master sitting by the window.


    he was her guiding light, the sun that dispelled all her darkness!


    ¡°master, i won.¡±


    luo yixuan couldn¡¯t believe her own voice, it was full of a lightness and coquettishness that she had never dared to show in her previous life. it seemed as if she was showing off her achievements to the most important person and eagerly sought his approval.


    the feeling was akin to when she, as a child, proudly told her mother that she had surpassed her brother in terms of cultivation. however, at that time it resulted in a slap from her mother.


    her mother had personally hit her, reducing her cultivation level.


    she even coldly warned her to never surpass luo yixiu.


    even though luo yixuan knew her mother did it for her own good, she could never forget that slap. it didn¡¯t hurt physically, but it hurt her heart deeply.

    ¡°you did very well, i am very pleased.¡±


    chen mobai¡¯s simple words made luo yixuan feel a completely different life.


    here, she was no longer suppressed. she could fully unleash her talent without fear of being targeted for her beauty and exceptional talent, like her mother, as a tool for reproduction and purchased.


    ¡°master, let me pour you some tea.¡±


    luo yixuan happily ran over, picked up the teapot on the table, and filled chen mobai¡¯s cup. of course, she also didn¡¯t forget liu wenbo and zhuo ming.

 Chapter 565 - Chapter 565: Chapter 374: Resolving Inner Conflicts (6k)_3

    chapter 565: chapter 374: resolving inner conflicts (6k)_3


    ¡°little junior sister¡¯s talent far surpasses us both.¡±


    liu wenbo took a sip of tea offered by luo yixuan, and as he recalled her ever-changing cold ice technique on the stage, he couldn¡¯t help but sincerely admire her.


    he felt even in his prime, he might not be a match for luo yixuan.


    ¡°yes, and i wonder when i¡¯ll achieve qi cultivation perfection.¡±


    zhuo ming, who was sitting alongside, couldn¡¯t help but sigh. she always considered herself as the one with the least talent amongst xiao nanshan lineage.


    she was able to become a disciple of chen mobai due to good luck. she pledged herself to him during their time in small yang ridge, and during liu wenbo¡¯s induction, she took the opportunity to kneel and kowtow, which led to chen mobai, who was lacking disciples, reluctantly accepting her.


    she completely agreed with liu wenbo¡¯s words.


    to her, in the xiao nanshan lineage, their master, chen mobai, was a peerless sword cultivation genius. since the divine wood sect splintered, he could even be considered one of a kind in the entire history of the five elements sect.


    next is their little junior sister luo yixuan. not only was she quick-witted, but her talent was also probably second only to their master and yu lian, who had already reached foundation establishment.


    then there¡¯s the senior brother, a genius in cultivation, with a strong family background as support.


    compared with the other brilliant people of xiao nanshan lineage, zhuo ming felt very ordinary, even somewhat inferior, which is why she really devoted herself to the things she was good at¡ªfarming, brewing wine, and looking after the shop.


    in her view, this was the only way to repay chen mobai for his teachings.


    ¡°ming, you should continue your cultivation step by step. i assure you, in six years, you¡¯ll be a true disciple and you¡¯ll receive a foundation building pill.¡±


    seeing zhuo ming¡¯s lack of self-confidence, and knowing that in the xiao nanshan lineage she has the most outstanding innate spiritual root value, chen mobai could not help but reassure her.


    it has to be said, in the eyes of his three disciples, chen mobai had a very high status already. so his reassuring words instilled much confidence in zhuo ming, she clenched her small fists and cheered herself on.


    ¡°wenbo and ming, help me prepare some good wines, after the sect competition is over, xuan and i will pay a visit to the sect leader and others.¡±


    the year was coming to an end, and all aspects needed to be taken care of.


    chen mobai was to assume the role of guard of the founding nation at the start of the next year. although he wouldn¡¯t need to leave the sect, the fact that he had this role was thanks to the effort of people like chu zuoshu, he would certainly need to give them a gift in return.


    in the ensuing main sect competition, luo yixuan, having resolved her internal struggles, made rapid progress. she finished in the top six out of twelve, then in the top three out of the six. after two more rounds, she ranked amongst the top three true disciples!


    regrettably, she lost to the other two in the finals, merely claiming third place.


    however, with this result alone, chen mobai was already very satisfied.


    the reason she achieved this was mainly due to mu yuan and yu lian¡¯s successful foundation establishment, along with li yixian¡¯s failure to reach foundation establishment last year which caused him not to participate after getting injured. this led to a decline in the overall quality of the sect¡¯s competitive performance this year.


    nevertheless, after this competition, luo yixuan¡¯s name became known to all qi practitioners in the divine wood sect.


    she was the only female cultivator in the top three!


    luo yixuan was a beautiful woman, with outstanding cultivation skills, and a strong background.


    all at once, this little junior sister from xiao nanshan became the dream of many qi practitioners in the divine wood sect.


    when chen mobai took luo yixuan to visit chu zuoshu, fu huakun, zeng woyou, weng chuanyou, xi yisheng, and sun gaochang, surprisingly, these senior figures of the three halls and twelve departments all pleasantly exchanged a few words with her.


    xi yisheng even secretly sent chen mobai a message asking if he could arrange a matchmaking between xi jinghuo and luo yixuan.


    in response, chen mobai tactfully suggested letting it happen naturally. he wouldn¡¯t interfere with the younger generation¡¯s choices, as long as they agreed on the matter themselves.


    xi jinghuo was also a good friend of chen mobai. however, based on his understanding of his friend, he was a person dedicated to sword training.


    approximately half a month later, chen mobai finished visiting all the foundation establishment cultivators he was friendly with along with luo yixuan.


    in that time, zeng woyou was in seclusion helping two ancestors concoct a batch of pills and didn¡¯t get to meet him, but the fact that chen mobai had visited was a gesture in itself.


    for those he was not familiar with, such as the sword training department leader xie yuntian, although he didn¡¯t visit personally, he had luo yixuan make a trip to each and deliver two jars of fine wine.


    no one dislikes receiving gifts.


    after making the rounds, just as chen mobai was planning to return to xiao nanshan, an unexpected guest arrived for a visit.


    ¡°i am li¨² r¨³zh¨°ng. i have long admired your reputation, brother chen. having just completed my duties at the shenmu hall, the sect leader asked me to visit and discuss with you regarding the handover of the town guard position of jian country.¡±


    li¨² r¨³zh¨°ng was a scholarly-looking individual with an impressive goatee on his chin.


    ¡°so it¡¯s brother liu, i should be the one to visit you.¡±


    this man was the current town guard of jian country, and anyone who could hold this position must have an extraordinary background.


    read latest chapters at wuxiaworld.site only


    he was an official disciple of fu zongjue and was going to become the inspector of the spirit beast department after this visit. the previous inspector had been injured in a battle with the shake mountain and felt that his time was running out, so he voluntarily resigned.


    within the divine wood sect, those who could hold senior positions in the three halls and twelve departments were basically astute individuals who understood social settings.


    li¨² r¨³zh¨°ng taking the initiative to visit goes without saying, he wanted to establish a connection with chen mobai.


    luo yixuan immediately went to the xiao nanshan shop, fetched two jars of good wine from zhuo ming, and poured the wine.


    ¡°regarding the seven cultivator families and five fang markets of jian country, this pretty much summarizes their conditions. if you want to make it easier, brother chen, you can just tour each market and inspect the sect¡¯s shops. the people of the seven major families will come forward to express their intentions.¡±

 Chapter 566 - Chapter 566: Chapter 374: Resolving Inner Conflicts (6k)_4

    chapter 566: chapter 374: resolving inner conflicts (6k)_4


    liu ruzhong subtly suggested that after all, jian country was the main base of the divine wood sect. the seven major clans had to respect the divine wood sect, but they also had intricately interwoven relationships with various sects. however, each of them would provide annual offerings to the town guard.


    ¡°among them, the fu family belongs to the family of the old ancestor fu, and the wang family was left by the disciples of the old ancestor zhou who passed away. in front of these two old ancestors, they both have certain graces.¡±


    before leaving, liu ruzhong specially reminded chen mobai.


    ¡°thank you, elder brother liu, for clearing up my doubts.¡±


    when chen mobai saw off liu ruzhong, he specifically asked luo yixuan to bring two jars of wine.


    ¡°master, when are you going to inspect the fang market?¡±


    when only master and disciple were left, luo yixuan asked curiously.


    ¡°some time after the beginning of the year, perhaps.¡±


    chen mobai had no regard for the offerings from the seven major clans, as liu ruzhong had mentioned that, according to the rules, each clan would give the town guard a hundred spirit stones every year. but this amount was something he was starting to take lightly.


    chen mobai, who has loved to watch the immortal cultivation riches program since childhood, is well aware that if he wants to be rich, he should engage in commerce.


    he is going to create his own puppet factory and develop the resources of the divine tree secret realm.


    in the beginning of next year, hua zijing is leaving due to graduation and many newcomers have joined the student council. therefore, his presence will be required for a while.


    aside from these matters, he also wants to find a way to cultivate, to see if he can break through the bottleneck of the mid-peak of his divine consciousness foundation establishment.


    fortunately, thanks to the enlightenment tea, he is already well-prepared for the rank-2 talisman maker assessment of the immortal gate. otherwise, he would have to find time to review talisman-making.


    at this time, liu wenbo and zhuo ming also came over. they were cleaning up this year¡¯s account books at the south mountain shop and were also checking the stock of spiritual rice and wine.


    ¡°so, wen bo, next year you will accompany me to inspect the five major fang markets in jian country. you come from a cultivation family and are familiar with the ways here. after the inspection, you will represent me and communicate with the seven major clans.¡±


    ¡°disciple is afraid that he might not be able to do well.¡±


    ¡°just be fair and impartial. you are a reliable person. i believe you can do well.¡±


    his eldest disciple chen mobai doesn¡¯t have significant advantages, but his steady character makes him the most suitable among the three disciples for this job.


    zhuo ming is too naive, while luo yixuan is too clever.


    ¡°yes, disciple will definitely live up to master¡¯s expectations.¡±


    in this way, the three disciples inherited three parts of chen mobai¡¯s power.


    liu wenbo focused on external matters, replacing him in dealing with jian country and possibly other countries in the eastern wilderness in the future; luo yixuan took care of internal affairs, and in these two years, she visited the upper echelons of the three palaces and twelve departments of the sect, and basically everyone accepted her as chen mobai¡¯s spokesperson.


    as for zhuo ming, he was still in charge of xiao nanshan, training him as an heir to farming under his guidance.


    after settling all the matters in divine wood city, chen mobai left his three disciples behind, using the excuse of gaining some enlightenment in his cultivation, he returned to xiao nanshan for closed-door cultivation.


    before leaving, he asked mu yuan about the situation of the former sect leader, meng hong.


    however, since he isolated himself for core formation, no one knew his situation anymore. they could only wait for the sign of successful core formation to get a glimpse of the truth.


    chen mobai could only sigh and leave divine wood city.


    divine tree secret realm!


    chen mobai used the heavenly wood spirit light to confine the devouring heaven serpent in his palm. afterward, with a burst of sword qi from his fingertip, he cut a small wound and a drop of his essence blood fell out.


    the devouring heaven serpent, while munching the leaves, curiously watched chen mobai¡¯s actions.


    after several unsuccessful resistances, it had now developed a conditioned reflex to give up resistance whenever it saw the heavenly wood spirit light, letting chen mobai do as he pleased.

    the essence blood from his fingertip fell, landing on the forehead of the devouring heaven serpent.


    simultaneously, a leaf from the jade-green phoenix tree in the sea of knowledge at chen mobai¡¯s purple mansion emerged, mixed into the essence blood, and seeped into the chaotic and dark sea of knowledge at the purple mansion of the devouring heaven serpent.


    with his foundation establishment realm, forming a blood curse and a divine consciousness contract with a mere qi cultivation stage spirit beast was as easy as catching a turtle in a jar.


    upon completion, he found that he could now decide the life and death of the devouring heaven serpent at a thought.


    this little black snake, whether in body or in consciousness, now bore his marks.

 Chapter 567 - Chapter 567: Chapter 375 Taiyi Wuyanluo_1

    Chapter 567: Chapter 375 Taiyi Wuyanluo_1


    After returning from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai was handling student council affairs while taking exams for his core and elective courses.


    His good friend, Ming Yuhua, also returned two days earlier.


    After the exams, Ming Yuhua immediately gathered everyone from the Metaphysical Class for a drinking party.


    ¡°Old Ming, where did you go to refine your Magic Artifacts this time? We haven¡¯t heard your bragging for a whole year.¡±


    Wang Xingyu, who had just achieved Foundation Establishment, also attended this party. He curiously asked Ming Yuhua, knowing well his friend¡¯s boastful and ostentatious character.


    ¡°I can¡¯t tell, I signed a non-disclosure agreement.¡±


    Ming Yuhua wore a vexed expression, seemingly not wanting to recall his experience of following his tutor this time.


    When everyone heard the words ¡°non-disclosure agreement¡±, they roughly understood what was going on and all tactfully changed the subject.


    ¡°Brother, are you free recently? I managed to grab some Clear Wind Evil from the Celestial Gate website a few days ago. I¡¯m thinking of refining it into the ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯ to enhance the power of this Magic Artifact.¡±


    After the party, Chen Mobai, Ming Yuhua, and Yunyang Bing gathered for another round in their small circle.


    ¡°Clear Wind Evil? Old Chen, you¡¯re lucky, you actually managed to get this item. Is it Rank-1 or Rank-2?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ming Yuhua¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Clear Wind Evil is the most common type of Evil Qi in the Celestial Gate, formed when Spiritual Energy blows through the forest and mixes with the wood element. It is a type of Earth Evil Qi.


    Usually at places rich in forest vegetation, the Celestial Gate sets up formations to cultivate Clear Wind Evil.


    However, since it¡¯s also Earth Evil Qi, the demand always overshoots the supply despite the price being controlled by the Celestial Gate. It¡¯s always snapped up once it goes on sale.


    ¡°Just average luck, I only managed to grab Rank-1.¡±


    Chen Mobai originally obtained Earth Evil Qi from Rolling Thunder Mountain by chance. Among them, he could refine the Rank-2 ones into Five Elements Sword Sha, but he intended to refine the remaining Rank-1 Clear Wind Evil and Peach Blossom Evil into Magic Artifacts to enhance their power.


    Among these, as Clear Wind Evil was extensively circulated in the Celestial Gate, it could be brought out openly.


    Peach Blossom Evil is a type of miasma that¡¯s born only in peach blossom groves. Although there are channels to artificially synthesize it within the Celestial Gate, as its use is narrow, basically no one cultivates it actively. It had not been traded in the market for several years, hence Chen Mobai did not bring it out.


    ¡°This is easy, but I have to return home this year, so it might have to wait till the start of school next year.¡±


    Ming Yuhua confidently patted his chest, saying it was a small matter. He had already passed the examinations for Rank-2 Artifact Refiner and Treasure Appraiser a few years earlier. This year, after going out for training with the major troops of the Refining Implement Department, he had even more confidence to pass the assessment for Rank-3 Artifact Refiner.


    However, since the ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯ is also a Rank-2 Magic Artifact, re-refining it to upgrade it is more troublesome than creating a new one, hence there was need to make use of various equipment from the Taoist Institute¡¯s Artifact-refining Department. Ming Yuhua¡¯s family did not have these facilities.


    ¡°Thanks, brother.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not say much more and raised his glass in thanks.


    ¡°We¡¯re brothers, there¡¯s no need for formalities. Just send me a couple more jars of good wine next year.¡±


    Ming Yuhua was generous and warm-hearted, and had a good relationship with everyone in the Metaphysical Class.


    ¡°Fine, next year I¡¯ll send you the best wine from my hometown.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought that next year, there would be a new batch of Rank-2 Spiritual Wine fermenting in Xiao Nanshan, he could then send some of it to Ming Yuhua.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, the ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯ should be one part of our Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s most comprehensive Rank-4 Magic Artifact ¡®Taiyi Wuyanluo¡¯. Our Array Department Head had lectured about this during a public class. It uses ¡®Red Mist¡¯, ¡®Fresh Wind¡¯, ¡®Water Mist¡¯, ¡®Jade Dew¡¯, ¡®Smoke Stream¡¯, five different states of the Five Element Spiritual Energy to unify and transform the instrument into a formation, combining offense and defense, with unlimited power.¡±


    Yunyang Bing, who was sitting to the side, remembered a lesson that he had taken after the conversation turned towards the ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯, so he couldn¡¯t help chiming in.


    ¡°Given the current situation of the Celestial Gate, it¡¯s basically impossible to refine the complete Taiyi Wuyanluo. At most, it¡¯s just like Old Chen, refining the Clear Wind Evil into it.¡±


    Ming Yuhua knew about this as well, after all, it was one of the signature Magic Artifacts of the Dance Tools Dao Academy. However, as a genius of the Refining Implement Department, he was more familiar with the difficulties involved.


    The refinement of Taiyi Wuyanluo doesn¡¯t just involve the five types of Elemental Spiritual Energy¡¯s transition through different states.


    For instance, if Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯ was intermediate-grade Rank-2, by refining in a large amount of Rank-2 Clear Wind Evil, you could upgrade it to a higher-grade Rank-2, or even peak.


    But if you want to upgrade it to Rank-3, not only would you need to find Rank-3 spirit material, Water Mist Ice Crystal, but you would also need to upgrade the existing ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk¡¯ and Clear Wind Evil to Rank-3 as well.


    That is to say, if you want to refine the complete Taiyi Wuyanluo, you would need at least five types of Rank-4 materials: Red Mist, Fresh Wind, Water Mist, Jade Dew, and Smoke Stream.


    Given the resource situation on Earth Origin Star, not even a Nascent Soul cultivator could necessarily gather them all.

    However, Dance Tools Dao Academy had many talents. Someone thought of decomposing Taiyi Wuyanluo, making it a formation to emulate the power of a Magic Artifact.


    By transforming the five forms of Elemental Spiritual Energy into five Array Flags, the force of the Taiyi Wuyanluo is simulated. The power of this formation depends on the grade of the Array Flags, and it could be made from Rank-1 to Rank-4.


    Chen Mobai had only heard of Taiyi Wuyanluo but did not know that it could be disintegrated into a formation.


    He quietly remembered Yunyang Bing¡¯s words in his heart.


    If he encounters these materials in the Tianhe realm in the future, he can consider gathering them.

 Chapter 568 - Chapter 568: 375

    Chapter 568: 375


    After the Metaphysical Class gathering ended, Chen Mobai¡¯s seven-year tenure at the Dance Tool Dao Academy also came to an end.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be coming next year.¡±


    In the student council, Hua Zijing waved at everyone with a seemingly carefree air.


    ¡°You¡¯ve done a lot for the past two years.¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at her, genuinely thanked her from the bottom of his heart. Without her substantial assistance, it would have been impossible for him to take over the student council so effortlessly.


    ¡°Goodbye.¡±


    After saying these two words, Hua Zijing seemed unable to stay any longer and immediately turned to leave.


    ¡°President, will we ever see Sister Hua again?¡±


    Zhuang Jialan¡¯s eyes were brimming with tears. Her emotions were more intense than Hua Zijing¡¯s and she didn¡¯t have the same control. Seeing the senior who has shown her the ropes of the student council for a year graduating, she couldn¡¯t hold back her tears.


    ¡°We will, as long as we live long enough, there¡¯ll always be a day we meet again.¡±


    Chen Mobai cracked a small smile. After calming the emotions of his subordinates, he plunged back into his work.


    ¡°Is there anything I can help with?¡±


    The one asking was Zhongli Tianyu. He thought being the student council president was a cool thing, so he was prepared to strive to become a competent head.


    ¡°Stick with me.¡±


    As soon as Hua Zijing graduated, Chen Mobai felt the work pressure double. So, he planned to quickly groom Zhongli Tianyu and then, like Zuo Qiushi, step down to allow the more capable candidate to take over.


    For the following half month, Chen Mobai led the student council members in various faculties and started collaborating with teachers to prepare for the next year¡¯s teaching plan.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be counting on you guys.¡±


    After all the tasks were done, Chen Mobai bid farewell to the student council members who stayed behind in the academy.


    In Red Sandstone City, his talisman factory still had some important documents waiting for his signatures.


    ¡°Mr. Chen, if you have no objections to the terms, please sign here.¡±


    In the Xianmen Bank of Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai signed another loan agreement.


    This time, the Good Deed Points he planned to loan was still 5 million. Coupled with the 5 million used to purchase the Spirit Pill from the Life Extension Cultivation Institute, he was now saddled with a huge debt of 10 million Good Deed Points.


    This loan did not have any collateral. It was only under the name of Chen Mobai.


    If he wasn¡¯t the head of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the top Rank-2 Foundation Establishment cultivator and had City Lord Qin Baipeng as his guarantee, he may not have been able to get this loan.


    ¡°Thanks for the guarantee, City Lord.¡±


    After leaving Xianmen Bank, Chen Mobai thanked Qin Baipeng.


    ¡°This is just a policy of Red Sandstone City for Foundation Establishment cultivators. When Wu Shangru moved here, he received the same treatment; it¡¯s just that your loan amount is slightly larger.¡±


    Chen Mobai understood what Qin Baipeng meant. After thanking him again, he tried to invite the city lord for a meal, but was politely declined.


    ¡°At the end of the year, there are other Foundation Establishment cultivators applying for loans. I also need to visit several factories.¡±


    Not every Foundation Establishment cultivator who runs a business in Red Sandstone City is successful. There are also quite a few who are losing money.


    However, this loss might be an actual loss, or it might be a case where the factory is losing but the owner¡¯s wallet is getting fatter.


    So Qin Baipeng needed to examine these potentially problematic factories.


    The reason why Chen Mobai¡¯s personal loan of 5 million was supported by Qin Baipeng was because of his high profile.


    As the head of Dance Tool Dao Academy, his match with Jumang Daoist Academy had beaten all the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Xianmen, this achievement was being recognised as the Qualification of Deification by many people.


    Moreover, this was the first time Chen Mobai asked for Red Sandstone City¡¯s support after settling down. Plus, Qin Baipeng had promised earlier. Considering these conditions, Qin Baipeng agreed to help him secure a loan totaling 5 million Good Deed Points.


    You must know, for other Foundation Establishment cultivators, the maximum limit was only 2 million Good Deed Points.


    Chen Mobai kept Qin Baipeng¡¯s generous act in his heart.


    With the loan in hand, plus the remaining profit of 800,000 Good Deed Points from this year¡¯s talisman factory, in total, he had startup capital of 5.8 million.


    The preparation for the Puppet Factory could now begin.


    He first dialed Chai Lun who was his senior in the Dance Tool Dao Academy and had guided him in creating performance puppets. After graduation, he opened a puppet factory in his hometown and reportedly made a lot of Good Deed Points in the hobby figurines industry.


    However, what Chen Mobai approached him for was a proper puppet manufacturing contract.


    As one of the geniuses who graduated from the Puppet Lines, Chai Lun was quite interested in a puppet factory. After receiving the call, he agreed to come over in person to negotiate this business deal.


    Next, Chen Mobai started purchasing the core of the Puppet Factory.


    ¡°Hello, Senior Lou, I¡¯m Chen Mobai¡­¡±


    At the Repairing Heaven Institute, Lou Fengcheng, who had just removed his full-body bandages and recovered from his burns, was speechless as he put down the phone.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    How thick-faced can this Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s head be?


    After beating myself up like this, he still had the nerve to call me for help!


    Lou Fengcheng wanted to hang up the phone immediately, but on second thought, it would be better not to hold a grudge against this formidable character. He just happened to help him buy a second rank Heavenly Calculation Bead, which would facilitate resolving potential conflicts in the future.


    ¡°Hello, Teacher Shi. I have a ¡®friend¡¯ who wants to buy a Rank-2 Heavenly Calculation Bead, does your academy have one in stock?¡±


    One day later, Chen Mobai saw the link to the Repairing Heaven Institute¡¯s flagship store¡¯s order payment sent by Lou Fengcheng, he couldn¡¯t help but smile.

 Chapter 569 - Chapter 569: Chapter 375 The Five Smoke Nets of Taiyi_3

    Chapter 569: Chapter 375 The Five Smoke Nets of Taiyi_3


    ¡°What¡¯s going on, you¡¯re smiling so broadly?¡±


    Eating fish, Yan Bingxuan looked at Chen Mobai¡¯s face and couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously.


    ¡°I managed to buy a Heavenly Calculation Bead.¡±


    ¡°Is it the Heavenly Calculation Bead from the Repairing Heaven Institute? The chairperson of our department always wanted to buy one but could never get it.¡±


    The one who spoke these words was Shi Jingjing. Today was Chen Mobai¡¯s high school classmate reunion, though only enough people for one table turned up. Most of them didn¡¯t return to Red Sandstone City; some were there but didn¡¯t come.


    Those who did come were Yan Bingxuan, Cao Yaling, Shi Jingjing, Lu Hongsheng, Pu Jiangxue, Yu Shu, Xu Yuan, and Shi Yuanqing.


    Song Zheng and Mo Simin didn¡¯t come back, otherwise, given their relationship with Chen Mobai, they would certainly be here too.


    ¡°I managed to buy it thanks to some connections. I met a friend during a competition at the Jumang Daoist Academy. As the old saying goes, ¡®the more friends, the more paths¡¯. Which really came into play here.¡±


    If people from the Repairing Heaven Institute heard Chen Mobai¡¯s words, they definitely wouldn¡¯t believe him.


    During the competition on the island in the lake, Lou Fengcheng was Chen Mobai¡¯s most unfortunate opponent, hit head-on by the Sword Sha. The fiery poison entered his body, and after returning, he lay down for over a month to recover.


    ¡°Cao, today¡¯s event is mainly to congratulate you on your successful Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Chen Mobai raised his drink in his hand, wishing Cao Yaling well. Of everyone from their Fifth High School, time revealed who was truly the best.


    After Chen Mobai, the second to establish his foundation was the most talented.


    ¡°It¡¯s just good luck. Yuanqing has also understood the law of the boundary, so he should be able to establish his foundation next year.¡±


    Cao Yaling spoke with a light smile. She had always been quiet. If she were with Shi Jingjing, she could remain silent the whole day because the latter would say everything for her.


    ¡°Sigh, while everyone is discussing Foundation Establishment, I¡¯m already considering military service.¡±


    Lu Hongsheng, with the lowest cultivation level still stuck in the Sixth Level of Qi Cultivation without a hint of Divine Sense, had a miserable look on his face. With only three years left, he could never establish his foundation. As a male cultivator, he was obliged to serve ten years of military service.


    ¡°That¡¯s how I feel too. But I¡¯m also considering whether I should just get married after graduation.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s pretty desk mate Yu Shu sighed too. She was at the Seventh Level of Qi Cultivation and wanted to progress further in her cultivation, but military service was tough on women, and she was fearful.


    The topic turned to military service, and the rest began discussing their various pieces of information.


    Except for Shi Yuanqing, who was confident he could establish his foundation before graduation, everyone else was somewhat uneasy and had considered the issue of military service.


    Chen Mobai noticed Yan Bingxuan quietly eating the grilled fish he brought over and felt a sudden unease in his heart.


    ¡°Has your Ice Spirit Root not fully upgraded yet?¡±


    After everyone left, Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan were on their way back as he voiced his uncertainty.


    Back in the same class, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s Spiritual Root Value was the highest.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°A Spiritual Root can always upgrade as long as it hasn¡¯t reached 100.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan replied calmly as she they walked.


    ¡°You know that¡¯s not what I meant to ask. Are you confident in establishing your foundation?¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s direct question, Yan Bingxuan stopped walking. She looked up, their eyes met, and she shook her head.


    ¡°I¡¯m not confident, perhaps I¡¯m not talented enough. I still haven¡¯t understood the law of the boundary.¡±

 Chapter 570 - Chapter 570: Chapter 376: Earth Departing Flame Light Escape_1

    Chapter 570: Chapter 376: Earth Departing Flame Light Escape_1


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, within the Immortal Sect, there are not a few cultivators who have successfully undergone Foundation Establishment at the edge of the boundary.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke to comfort Yan Bingxuan, as he had the example of Lu Zixuan by his side.


    ¡°Mmm.¡±


    In response, Yan Bingxuan only nodded her head.


    Chen Mobai saw her calm expression, and was somewhat unable to grasp her thoughts. However, he felt that he should do something for this old classmate. After all, she played an indispensable role in his victory in the entrance examination back then.


    ¡°Send me your personal template, and I¡¯ll use Foundation Establishment Treasure to calculate your success rate.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s eyes flickered, hesitating with her normally cold demeanor, but still nodded in the end, taking out her phone and pushing her panel data to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°By the way, I have a featureless puppet that can simulate the process of a cultivator¡¯s Qi Cultivation for Foundation Establishment. However, your physical model data is needed. When you are free, let me take a shot with the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Yan Bingxuan¡¯s complexion change slightly, clearly she was aware of the value of the featureless puppet.


    ¡°This is too valuable.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan couldn¡¯t help but speak. Although the opportunities provided by the Foundation Establishment Treasure were limited within the Immortal Sect, she, as a student of the Nature Studies Academy, had managed to apply for a chance three years ago. Unfortunately, the results of the calculation were not ideal, she only had a 28% success rate.


    The featureless puppet compared to the Foundation Establishment Treasure, was currently the most detailed and complete tool for Foundation Establishment. It was the best chance for Qi Practitioners to understand various issues of their own Foundation Establishment, apart from the boundary method.


    However, the number of featureless puppets was limited. Out of the four major Daoist Academies, only the Dance Tool and Jumang Academies could guarantee a usage opportunity for each person, while the other two, Kunpeng and Patching Heaven, required queuing up.


    For the top ten academies, only the core students of the chief talent level could allow the academy to ask the four major Daoist Institutes to borrow a featureless puppet.


    ¡°Compared to you serving in the military, and us not seeing each other for ten years, I would rather see you successfully establish your foundation.¡±


    Listening to these words, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s expression fluctuated a bit and then she asked a question.


    ¡°Are you so sure that if I fail the Foundation Establishment, I would serve in the military and not just get married and have children?¡±


    ¡°You are not such a weak person.¡±


    Chen Mobai said, making Yan Bingxuan¡¯s mouth curve upwards into a smile.


    The two said goodbye at the intersection and parted ways.


    After returning home, Chen Mobai first went to Xiao Nanshan, then logged into the Foundation Treasure with his minor account, the Turtle Immortal. As he entered Yan Bingxuan¡¯s personal panel data, he found that these details were excessively detailed.


    It even included her three measurements!


    No wonder the beautiful Yan was a bit hesitant back then.


    ¡°I really didn¡¯t see it coming, she actually has such dimensions¡­¡±


    After reading, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but look shocked. If the data is true, this would be the largest size he has ever encountered. How did Yan Bingxuan conceal this size normally? He had never noticed it!


    The results of the Foundation Establishment Treasure¡¯s simulation came out quickly and after selecting the Foundation Establishment Trifecta, Yan Bingxuan had a 32% success rate.


    It¡¯s just a pity that Yan Bingxuan has an Ice Spirit Root, which conflicts with the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, the foundation establishment spirit object of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Without the aid of the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, the efficacy of the Jade Marrow Pill is merely average.


    Chen Mobai thought for a while, then logged into the Auxiliary Cultivation software with his minor account. He used his superior permissions to search for posts about Ice Spirit Root Foundation Establishment.


    He really found quite a few.


    In addition to the Foundation Establishment Trifecta, if you can get either ¡°Snow Spirit Water¡± or ¡°Water Mist Ice Crystal¡±, it could further increase the success rate by about 10%.


    Chen Mobai searched these two items.


    ¡°Snow Spirit Water¡± is a rank-2, top-grade elixir. As there are not many cultivators with Ice Spirit Root, the Immortal Sect will schedule a production only when there are a sufficient number of reservations. The reason Yan Bingxuan had not attempted Foundation Establishment over the years was because she was waiting for this spirit water.


    ¡°Water Mist Ice Crystal¡± is a spirit material of Heaven and Earth. It can be used in Taiyi Five Smoke Luo and can be synthesized or naturally generated.


    However, the synthesized ones are only of rank-1. For the Foundation Establishment of Ice Spirit Root, rank-2 is the best. Anything higher isn¡¯t suitable, as Qi Practitioners won¡¯t be able to withstand it.


    This material can usually only be obtained in the extremely cold sea territories at the poles of the Earth Origin Star, and to reach these areas, one can either be a Gold Core cultivator or take a scheduled trip once every twenty years on the treasure ship.


    After reading the contents of the posts, Chen Mobai shook his head.


    With his current abilities, obtaining these two materials from the Immortal Sect is near impossible.


    But he could try looking in the Tianhe Realm, to see if there was any ¡°Water Mist Ice Crystal¡± available.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Among the seven factions in the Eastern Wilderness, there was the Snow-blowing Palace located in a region of thousands of miles of snow and ice. It might have this material, but it wasn¡¯t clear if it was also referred to as ¡°Water Mist Ice Crystal¡±. He needed to research more related materials when he had the time.


    He hoped that Yan Bingxuan could get the ¡°Snow Spirit Water¡± before she graduated.


    As he pondered, Chen Mobai took out the Camel Fat Ointment made by Qing Nu. Using Divine Sense to manipulate the object, he spread five spoonfuls over his right hand fingers.


    The intense burning sensation was like a needle prick, reminding him that the medicated ointment was working, continuously strengthening the tendons, bones, and flesh on his fingers.


    Once he had used up this jar of ointment, the strength of Chen Mobai¡¯s entire right hand and palm would be upgraded to a level that could withstand the Five Elements Slaughter Formation.

 Chapter 571 - Chapter 571: Chapter 376: Earth Departing Flame Light Escape_2

    Chapter 571: Chapter 376: Earth Departing Flame Light Escape_2


    Since returning from Jumang Daoist Academy, he had begun to refine and enhance his right palm. By the time school starts, the strength of his five fingers should be about right.


    After today¡¯s refining, Chen Mobai looked at his reddened fingers, where veins beneath the skin were vaguely visible, and a smile crossed his face.


    The feeling of constant improvement always gave him a great sense of accomplishment, no matter when.


    After refining the Five Elements Sword Finger, Chen Mobai took out an intermediate grade Spirit Stone and began cultivating his Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    Over the years, apart from taking the Tree Fruit at critical times, he would practice the Pure Yang Daoist Body every day as long as he had enough time, tirelessly day and night.


    Experience proved that diligence always pays off.


    Today, as Chen Mobai absorbed half of the Spirit Stone in his palm, a ray of Xuan Guang symbolizing Water Spirit Root and emerald light representing Wood Spirit Root suddenly lit up within him. At the precise moment when these two lights flickered, a wisp of reddish golden flame representing Fire crawled up, engulfing the Wood and Water Spiritual Roots in accordance with the symbiotic sequence of the Five Elements.


    Subsequently, the Fire Spirit Root at his heart dazzled brighter, as if fuel had been added to it.


    Amid the crackling sound!


    A crevice unexpectedly split open on the Spirit Stone in his palm, and the pure spiritual energy contained within it surged into Chen Mobai¡¯s body like a flowing stream, flowing into the internal organs where the Five Elements Spiritual Root was located.


    After several cycles, the glow of Chen Mobai¡¯s Fire Spirit Root at his heart shone brighter than ever before.


    One long breath later, all the Spiritual Root radiances dimmed down, and the light inside the log cabin returned to normal.


    Chen Mobai slowly opened his eyes. Two red circles suddenly appeared in his brightly gleaming eyes, like rings of fire encircling his pupils.


    This was a change due to the sudden enhancement of his Spiritual Root. But soon after, the red rings vanished from his eyes.


    With his current realm, he already had control over these changes.


    Chen Mobai took out the Spirit-Testing Instruments and poured in his spiritual power; shortly, his most recent Spiritual Root Value appeared before his eyes.


    [Spiritual Root: Metal 23, Wood 45, Water 16, Fire 72, Earth 10]


    Seeing the Fire at 72, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh heartily in the deserted mountain-top cabin in Xiao Nanshan.


    Now, he could finally say he was a true genius.


    Only he knew how many resources and efforts it took to reach this step today.


    It had been seven and a half years since Chi Robe of Red Sandstone City pointed him on how to convert the Five Elements Cultivation into Cultivating Pure Yang Scroll. Which meant he had spent that much time on the Pure Yang Daoist Body as well.


    With daily uninterrupted Spirit Stone infusions he finally advanced the Pure Yang Daoist Body to the Five Yang Body Realm.


    Only one more step was needed to reach the Six Yang required for Core Formation.


    Once the Six Yang Body was cultivated, his Fire Spirit Root could break through 80 and become the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root which he dreamed about.


    Although a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivated postnatally is not as good as the Innate one, it¡¯s helpful for Core Formation. More importantly, now whenever Chen Mobai practices any Fire Attribute cultivation technique or spell, it feels like he gets twice the result with half the effort.


    This must be what it feels like to be a genius.


    After the joy, Chen Mobai felt slightly bored. He calculated the time it took for him to move from Four Yang to Five Yang, even with the assistance of Spirit Stones, it took him a whole two years.


    Going by this progress, it might take another five or six years to become a Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root.


    That¡¯s a bit slow.


    If other practitioners of Cultivating Pure Yang Scroll in the Daoist gate knew about Chen Mobai¡¯s current mood, many would probably clench their fists at him.


    One must know that Ming Yuhua and Yunyang Bing were stuck in the stage between Three Yang and Four Yang because they didn¡¯t have Spirit Stones and could only rely on painfully absorbing Fire spiritual power. They felt that if they could complete the Four Yang Body Realm before graduation, it would already be overachieving.


    But Chen Mobai was already thinking about the Six Yang body, and even Core Formation.


    After the Fire Spirit Root increased again, Chen Mobai rode the wave of excitement, and practiced Cultivating Pure Yang Scroll one more time. As expected, the speed of refining spirit qi was a little faster than usual.


    After the Grand Circulation, he teleported to the Divine Tree Secret Realm and practiced the spells on Cultivating Pure Yang Scroll.


    The power increased by much more.


    However, the main reason was because of his consumption of Enlightenment Tea, which already allowed him to grasp the essence of these spells. It wasn¡¯t the Fire Spirit Root¡¯s enhancement that did the work.


    He took out the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, an intermediate grade Rank-3 magic artifact, which now possessed a faint spiritual nature. After sensing his Fire Spirit Root value of 72, it trembled and lifted its most inner prohibition, allowing Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense to pour in for thorough refinement.


    From now on, even if the creator of this Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror resurrected in front of him, the artifact would only cooperate with Chen Mobai in attack.


    Having completely refined this Co-participation Legal Device, Chen Mobai felt his control and induction of fire spiritual power rise to a new level. Once again, he practiced the Cultivating Pure Yang Scroll, and found his speed had improved a bit.


    Lastly, Chen Mobai practiced Red Flame Sword Jue, mainly the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, whose power naturally improved a lot. However, compared with the Pure Yang Daoist Body and Pure Yang Scroll techniques, the improvement was limited.


    Touching the Yellow Skin Gourd at his waist, Chen Mobai felt a bit regretful that the Primordial Yang Sword Evil that was destroyed by the Qing Shuang Sword had not yet been retrained, otherwise he could have tried the power of this Sword Evil.


    Before leaving the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai went to check on the Devouring Heaven Serpent again, but now he had to actively search for it.


    Having been bound by the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light cage several times, the Devouring Heaven Serpent now hid far away upon detecting Chen Mobai¡¯s aura.


    However, its demonic aura was very conspicuous in the Secret Realm filled with wood energy.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t even use his Searching Heaven Searching Earth Method, just opened his Void Spirit Eye, and saw a strand of dark green demonic energy blending into the strong verdant wood energy.


    With a beckon of his finger, the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light shot out like a plane, wrapping up the Devouring Heaven Serpent who was hiding in a pile of dead leaves on the ground and brought it in front of him.


    Seeing Chen Mobai, the Devouring Heaven Serpent simply turned around. It was gnawing on a tender leaf, its small tail swaying back and forth. It didn¡¯t resist, and acted as if it hadn¡¯t seen him, just minding its own business and eating.


    ¡°This little guy¡­¡±


    Seeing that the Devouring Heaven Serpent was doing well, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t plan to bother it any more. He released the shackles of the Heavenly Wood Spirit Light, bounced it back into the Mysterious Fog Talisman, and went back to the Talent Tree again.


    ¡°Earth Departing Flame Light Escape!¡±


    Opening his eyes and recalling this newly learned fire escape skill in his mind, a surprised look appeared on Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    This Eternal Life Sect was indeed an ancient great sect, always able to give him surprises.


    In the competitions at Jumang Daoist Academy, he had felt that his speed was a weak point, but he never had time to find a suitable escape skill. He didn¡¯t expect that just as he achieved Five Yang Body today, he acquired it on the Talent Tree.


    This ¡°Earth Departing Flame Light Escape¡± was an escape skill that used Green-sun Fire as the core, and was in the same line as Pure Green Technique.


    After becoming proficient in it, the instantaneous explosion speed was like a spark flashing, extremely fast. Moreover, if one wanted to maintain it for a long time, as long as there was sufficient spiritual power and the physical body could withstand the high temperature of the Green-sun Fire, it would not be a problem to travel thousands of miles a day.


    But this escape skill had one flaw, which was that it had to be activated with both feet off the ground.


    Once touching the earth qi, the escape skill would be invalid.


    The name comes from this point.


    Chen Mobai had Green-sun Fire at hand, so it would be quite easy for him to practice this escape skill. Moreover, he was a Fire Spirit Body, so he didn¡¯t have to worry about the fire escape technique harming his body.


    Considering these various factors, this Earth Departing Flame Light Escape skill was very suitable for him.


    It¡¯s necessary to delve into it carefully during this period.


    Try to make up for the shortcomings in speed before school starts.


    In the midst of contemplation, Chen Mobai activated Turtle Treasure and returned to Red Sandstone City.

    It was just daybreak.


    He sent the calculation result of the Foundation Establishment to Yan Bingxuan, and she immediately replied with a received emoji.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to ask Yan Bingxuan when she was free to help her deduce the detailed process of the Foundation Establishment using the Unseen Puppet, a phone call came.¡±


    ¡°Brother Chai, you arrived so soon.¡±


    This was about his own puppet factory that was related to his rise in wealth. Chen Mobai immediately answered the phone. Hearing that Chai Lun had arrived at the Red Sandstone City airport, he asked him to wait for a moment, saying that he would pick him up soon.

 Chapter 572 - Chapter 572: Chapter 377 Full of Debts_1

    Chapter 572: Chapter 377 Full of Debts_1


    Chai Lun was a man of swift action, and the two of them started discussing various professional terms related to the puppet factory right at the dinner table.


    ¡°When Master Che helped the Fourth Armament Factory of the Immortal Sect to design weapon assembly automated puppets, I followed along to do odd jobs. I originally thought that something like a puppet factory would only be adopted under the large volume of the Immortal Sect.¡±


    Chai Lun said with a wistful expression on his face, using puppets to replace manual labor was a luxurious thing.


    That¡¯s because within the Immortal Sect, there were many cultivators, and labor was cheap.


    However, even the most ordinary Rank-1 puppet costs at least one hundred thousand Good Deed Points.


    The latest data shows that the average salary of Qi Practitioners in the Immortal Sect is 14,750 Good Deed Points per person per year, and it does not even reach this average in the remote city of Red Sandstone City.


    That is to say, the cost of making a puppet is enough for Chen Mobai to employ a Qi Practitioner for almost ten years.


    The usage scope of the puppet is also very narrow. Rank-1 ones can only recognize some common commands, which is far less than human.


    If talking about advantages, it is that puppets absolutely obey, will not make mistakes, and don¡¯t need rest. As long as the energy is sufficient, they will work ceaselessly.


    ¡°I plan to expand and strengthen my factory. After all, I still have at least two hundred years of life. After a one-time investment in the puppet factory, the cost can be recouped in about ten years. Tightening the belt for a while to exchange for the future¡¯s substantial profits, I think it¡¯s quite worthwhile.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were half true and half false. The main reason was that the puppets would absolutely keep secrets and would not expose his resource laundering in the Immortal Sect and Tianhe Realm.


    ¡°But it seems your funds are a bit short?¡±


    Chai Lun put down his cup, his face showing an uneasy expression.


    He had already seen Chen Mobai¡¯s plan before coming. The cost of one hundred puppets would exceed tens of millions of Good Deed Points, and there would need to be an investment of nearly twenty million Good Deed Points for newly necessary equipment and assembly lines to suit the puppets.


    Among these, the item ¡°Heavenly Calculation Bead¡± alone had already cost one million eight hundred thousand Good Deed Points.


    ¡°No problem, I still have a backup funding plan. And what I¡¯m thinking is to complete the overall layout first, there¡¯s no need for a one-time investment. The equipment for making talisman paper and talisman ink can be converted from the old ones first.¡±


    ¡°But the main thing is that I need Senior Chai¡¯s help to make the puppets to cut costs.¡±


    ¡°The main bodies and insignificant parts of the puppets are all made of wood, which can save nearly two million Good Deed Points.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Chai Lun couldn¡¯t help but look surprised.


    ¡°Using wood can indeed lower the cost, but it will also degrade and damage more quickly. Originally, one puppet could be used for twenty or thirty years, but with this method, it may not even last ten years.¡±


    The most expensive part of a puppet is the core chip, also known as the main controller. It¡¯s all about the technique. If you want to use the Heavenly Calculation Bead for recognition and control, you can¡¯t save on it.


    Next is the drive device, but since Chen Mobai himself has Spirit Stones, he can save a lot again.


    The rest of the Spiritual Power Pipelines, moving joints, adjusting gears, etc., are not suitable to lower their standards for the sake of future maintenance.


    But the majority of the remaining puppet bodies, as long as the client has no objections, can use any material.


    The highest-end of course is the bionic material of the Formless Human Puppet, which can perfectly simulate the human body.


    Then comes the hard Spirit Materials like Fine Iron Alloy. Among these, wood is the cheapest.


    Because it¡¯s easy to break.


    But Chen Mobai is now an outstanding Puppet Master himself. As long as the framework of the puppet factory is set up first, he can stay in the factory and maintain and repair it in the future.


    The main reason is that he owns the Divine Tree Secret Realm, and his Spirit Wood resources are almost inexhaustible, which he can use for free.


    Actually, there is another issue. Before using Spirit Wood to make puppets, it is actually necessary to check the relevant documents of the Immortal Sect Forestry Bureau to ensure that these Spirit Woods have been approved and are legally felled and sold.


    But in this case, Chen Mobai himself is the client, and Chai Lun was invited by him to make the puppets. He has already defaulted that the material sources of this junior are all legal, and he won¡¯t do anything superfluous.


    However, for safety, Chen Mobai ordered a batch of Spirit Wood under the name of the Flying Heaven Talisman Factory from a supplier in neighboring Yu Wood City, with whom he had cooperated before.


    In this way, even if the relevant departments come to check in the future, he could show related documents.


    There would only be a problem in terms of quantity, but in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai was confident enough with his own background. The Immortal Sect Bureau wouldn¡¯t inspect to this extent. After all, Qin Baipeng had already provided a lot of policy support in order to have him settle there.

    And once he expands and strengthens his business in the future, Chen Mobai plans to lease a forest in Yu Wood City. By then, he could perfectly solve this problem by controlling both the upstream and downstream sectors.


    ¡°I kind of understand. But some keys still need your guidance when manufacturing.¡±


    After finishing the meal, Chai Lun looked at Chen Mobai with new respect. His tone of speech had even become somewhat polite..


    In their exchange about the puppet factory, sometimes Chai Lun couldn¡¯t even keep up with Chen Mobai¡¯s thinking. This showed that his attainments in Puppet Dao were already inferior to the current junior.


    However, Chai Lun didn¡¯t have any extra emotions. He even felt in his heart that Chen Mobai indeed deserved to be the top student of Dance Tool Dao Academy, the favored closed-door disciple of Master Che, and the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Immortal Sect. It was only normal for him to surpass himself.

 Chapter 573 - Chapter 573: Chapter 377 In Debt_2

    Chapter 573: Chapter 377 In Debt_2


    He, however, had no idea that Chen Mobai¡¯s accomplishments in the Puppet Dao all came from Enlightenment Tea.


    ¡°Senior Chai, I¡¯m going to trouble you a bit. Please gather some puppet technicians to complete the rough framework of the puppet factory.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that Chai Lun was truly capable, hence he decided to have him handle this business.


    ¡°Leave it to me.¡±


    Chai Lun patted his chest and immediately called his company¡¯s people, asking them to bring all kinds of tools to Red Sandstone City.


    After arriving at the Flying Sparrow Hairpin Factory, the two signed a custom-made contract.


    The contract stipulated a total price of 2.22 million Good Deed Points. According to Chen Mobai¡¯s specifications, 100 Rank-1 labor model puppets were to be made. In this process, the Chai Lun party was only responsible for production. Chen Mobai, as the buyer, was responsible for procuring all the puppet materials. After the order was completed and approved, the maintenance and upkeep would also be taken care of by the buyer.


    Chai Lun, being aware of Chen Mobai¡¯s financial shortages, generously collected only a million Good Deed Points for the down payment. The remaining 1.2 million balance would be made in installment payments over the next three years.


    To this, Chen Mobai tens of thousands times expressed his gratitude.


    Several days later, after he helped to settle the technicians from Chai Lun¡¯s puppet factory, he personally took a trip to Yu Wood City, where he negotiated with several wood factories, pretending to have purchased a lot of Spirit Wood.


    Because the Flying Sparrow Hairpin Factory usually only stored ink and paper, it didn¡¯t require a large warehouse, so when the first batch of the truly purchased Spirit Wood arrived later, there was nowhere to put it.


    But this was intentional by Chen Mobai, who used it as an excuse to ask Qin Baipeng for help in renting a large open space outside the city to store the Spirit Wood purchased from Yu Wood City.


    Each time before Chai Lun¡¯s people made puppets, he arranged for workers from the Hairpin Factory to come and cut the Spirit Wood into various lengths as required, then transported it into the city in small carts.


    Most of the time, the open storage space for Spirit Wood was unattended, with only a simple Formation and Defence for protection. Chen Mobai placed a Mysterious Fog Talisman for concealment.


    He then took it upon himself to bundle together the Red Sun Spirit Wood that he had felled with the Primordial Yang Sword Sha in the Divine Tree Secret Realm last time, and transported them here batch by batch through the Turtle Treasure.


    Red Sun Spirit Wood is used for burning in the Divine Wood Sect.


    This kind of Spirit Wood has a gentle aura, and the Spiritual Fire produced during calcination is easy to control, making it very suitable for Alchemy.


    However, in the Immortal Sect, it is considered mid-to-high-grade Spirit Wood. The Qingbai Spirit Wood that Chen Mobai purchased from Yu Wood City is not even as good as Red Sun Spirit Wood.


    ¡°Junior Chen, the quality of the first batch of Spirit Wood isn¡¯t so good, and the resulting puppets might only last two to three years before they are scrapped. I think we shouldn¡¯t try to skimp on this cost.¡±


    In the Fly Sparrow Hairpin Factory workshop, Chai Lun pointed at the first batch of ten puppets made by his technical staff with Qingbai Spirit Wood. His expression was not satisfying.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll follow senior¡¯s advice, refund all the Spirit Wood from this supplier, and replace all future batches of Spirit Wood with that of the second supplier.¡±


    Chen Mobai had been pondering how to naturally stop using Qingbai Spirit Wood and completely replace it with Red Sun Spirit Wood. Chai Lun¡¯s words gave him a chance to go with the flow.


    ¡°The quantity of mana flexible pipes, gear segments, and moving joints are sufficient, but the main controller chips haven¡¯t arrived yet. If we want to debug the puppets, we need to prioritize this material.¡±


    Chai Lun, hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s compliance, showed satisfaction. However, he still made requests concerning the provision of materials.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make another call. If that fails, I¡¯ll make a personal trip to the West Mysterious Cavern.¡±


    Other materials are readily available. Chai Lun¡¯s puppet factory had long-term suppliers who, after his introduction, allowed Chen Mobai to make his purchases at the lowest price, and the materials are being delivered to Red Sandstone City.


    Only the main controller, which needed to be compatible with the Heavenly Calculation Bead, requires a chip manufactured by the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Naturally, Chen Mobai called Lou Fengcheng again. Although Lou Fengcheng initially didn¡¯t want to get involved, having helped with the first favor, rejecting this small request would be contradictory. It would be better just to have refused when buying the Heavenly Calculation Bead.


    Without any other choice, Lou Fengcheng had to help once again, introducing a junior from the chip sales department to Chen Mobai.


    Considering Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation as the first one to have Foundation Establishment in his Immortal Gate, the contract for one hundred rank-1 puppet master controller chips was set.


    But the total contract price was only 3.8 million Good Deed Points, which, in Repairing Heaven Chip Factory, can be considered insignificant and, due to its low technical content and profit margin, was largely overlooked.


    Even so, after signing the contract, Chen Mobai needed to pay the full amount before Repairing Heaven Chip Factory would begin processing and manufacturing.


    This was unlike purchasing Spirit Wood, where there was some leeway to delay payment of goods for a small period, and settle it at the end of the next year.


    The Heavenly Calculation Bead cost 1.8 million, Chai Lun¡¯s team¡¯s upfront processing fee was 1 million Good Deed Points, and combined with various other miscellaneous expenses, the initial fund of 5.8 million in the Flying Sparrow Hairpin Factory account wasn¡¯t enough to cover the full payment for the chips.


    Chen Mobai sighed about not having enough money. The stuff from Repairing Heaven Institute was just too expensive.


    However, even at this price, it was already discounted, only available through the connections of Lou Fengcheng.


    The highest and most advanced technologies of Immortal Gate were always in the hands of Repairing Heaven Institute, and if not for the constraints of Immortal Gate, the pricing would be even more outrageous.


    Chai Lun had already given him a break with the processing fees, allowing him to pay in installments. As for other various material purchases, since they were all first-time collaborations and were introduced by Chai Lun, Chen Mobai paid in full to avoid making it difficult for his senior.


    He had no choice but to activate his backup financial plan. He approached the Immortal Gate Bank in Danxia City again to mortgage his own Six Yang Spiritual Fire Mirrors.


    Of course, he only mortgaged the ownership, the right to use was still in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands.


    This means that Immortal Gate Bank, although they gave Good Deed Points to Chen Mobai, did not have possession of this magic artifact and it was still with Chen Mobai for his own use.


    But if one day Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t pay the interest or the loan, the bank would exercise its ownership and the Immortal Gate Law Court would enforce it, taking the Six Yang Spiritual Fire Mirror from him.


    This was the most common type of mortgage loan in Immortal Gate.


    If it weren¡¯t for the clear origins of only this magic artifact in his possession, with clear lines of investigation available for the bank, Chen Mobai would have liked to mortgage others like the Flying Sparrow Hairpin, Golden Jade Axe.


    Despite Chen Mobai owning the Six Yang Spiritual Fire Mirror, according to the law, after his death, the ownership of this artifact would still lay with the Dance Tool Dao Academy, that is, he only owned half of it.


    So, when mortgaging it at the Immortal Gate Bank, he required agreement from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Chen Mobai had brought this matter to Che Yucheng¡¯s attention early on. The latter, upon hearing that it was due to a lack of funds for building the puppet factory, reluctantly approved after a moment¡¯s hesitation.


    It was just Chen Mobai, if it were someone else from the Academy, Che Yucheng definitely wouldn¡¯t be so agreeable.


    Half of the Six Yang Spiritual Fire Mirror¡¯s ownership was mortgaged for 13.5 million Good Deed Points at the Immortal Gate Bank.


    Chen Mobai, now steeped in debt, felt a sense of relief. Holding these funds, he planned to personally go to the West Mysterious Cave Heaven to sort out the chip issue.


    ¡°Lou Senior, it¡¯s Chen Mobai. I¡¯ve booked a flight to West Mysterious Cave Heaven the day after tomorrow. I want to thank you in person for your help¡­¡±


    Lou Fengcheng, who was drinking tea, choked on a sip of tea upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words over the phone, feeling as if ants were crawling all over his body. He couldn¡¯t help but shudder, and he coughed violently.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Well, I¡¯ve been feeling a bit under the weather recently, caught a chill so I might not be able to entertain you. Your thanks are not necessary¡­¡±


    Lou Fengcheng immediately declined Chen Mobai¡¯s invitation to thank him in person, and he also assured that as long as Chen Mobai transfers the Good Deed Points, the Repairing Heaven Chip Factory would fully commit to producing the chips and deliver them in the shortest possible time.


    ¡°I see, alright then. Next time you come to Crimson City or Danxia City, remember to give me a call. I¡¯ll treat you to a good meal.¡±


    [Damn you, I never want to see you again in my life.]


    Right after hanging up Chen Mobai¡¯s call, Lou Fengcheng immediately rushed to the Chip Factory.

 Chapter 574 - Chapter 574: Chapter 378: Its Really That Big (8K)_1

    Chapter 574: Chapter 378: It¡¯s Really That Big (8K)_1


    ¡°Son, there have been some rumors circulating around the factory lately.¡±


    One day, while Chen Mobai¡¯s family was having dinner, Tang Panchui suddenly brought up an issue.


    ¡°Apparently, since you started replacing human labor with puppets, there is talk of a large group of employees being laid off. Many older workers with families have come to me over this.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly.


    The primary reason for using puppets instead of human labor is to maintain secrecy. His main reason for testing and setting up a puppet factory within the Heavenly Talisman Factory was to integrate it with the manufacturing of talisman paper and talisman ink artifacts.


    He had never planned to establish the puppet factory in such a bustling place as the Heavenly Talisman Factory.


    However, Tang Panchui¡¯s words served as a reminder to him.


    If this situation truly causes widespread anxiety and results in numerous layoffs, it is likely that the City Lord, Qin Baipeng, would intervene.


    ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. Everything will remain the same in the Heavenly Talisman Factory. Once the assembly line artifacts, specifically ordered for the puppet factory, arrive, I will find a separate location for it.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Tang Panchui felt relieved.


    After her military service and giving birth, she had worked in the talisman factory. Even though she has since become the boss¡¯s wife, she maintains deep relationships with many long-term employees in the factory. If she indeed had to replace human labor with puppets and lay off employees, she would find herself in a very difficult position.


    After dinner, Chen Mobai headed out to the Cultivation Mechanism Building in Red Sandstone City to meet with Qin Baipeng.


    ¡°You¡¯re saying that you need a piece of land to build a new factory?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Baipeng opened the virtual map of Red Sandstone City in his office, pointing out several scattered areas glowing in white, indicating that these lands were available for use, and left Chen Mobai to make his selection.


    ¡°The land within the city is too small. The new factory I¡¯m building will implement new technology that allows for fully automated puppet operation, without the need for human labor. However, it may need more land space.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Qin Baipeng didn¡¯t quite understand the technical jargon. Nevertheless, he understood that Chen Mobai required a larger industrial land area.


    ¡°That leaves us with options outside the city. Do you see anything you like?¡±


    The virtual map zoomed out, revealing the terrain outside Red Sandstone City. At this point, many large, interconnected white patches appeared, indicating that numerous land options were available in the suburban areas outside the city.


    ¡°How about this piece?¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed at the largest wasteland outside the city, covered by a white glow. Even though the map showed that this area lacked any major transportation routes and appeared to be the most desolate tract within the jurisdiction of Red Sandstone City, its area was significantly vast.


    Using his Divine Sense to calculate the map proportionally, Chen Mobai estimated this land area to be roughly two to three thousand acres, large enough to accommodate twenty Heavenly Talisman Factories.


    ¡°Nephew, are you sure about this piece of land? It seems that you are not aware of its history.¡±


    Upon hearing Qin Baipeng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai took a closer look and noticed that the land exhibited a faint red hue under the white glow, indicating some issue. This piece of land was situated at the tail of the Danxia Fire Vein and bordered the realm of the Danxia Blessed Land. Any further from it would be the territory of neighboring Yu Wood City.


    ¡°This piece of land, despite its large area, offers nearly no soil fertility. A few decades ago, when the underground Fire Vein erupted, this land was mostly spared due to suppression by the Green Paulownia and Grandmaster Shi Qing. However, as no one was using this land, the Red Dawn Institution and the Dance Tool Dao Academy have yet to send anyone to clean up the residual fire poison. Cultivators would even struggle to Refine Spirit Qi in such an environment.¡±


    Upon hearing Qin Baipeng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai learned the reason for the desolation of this piece of land.


    A few decades ago, even before Chen Mobai¡¯s birth, when his parents were still serving in the army, no one knew about the eruption of the Fire Vein.


    However, to others, what might be called poisoned land sparked joy in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°My puppet factory does not require human labor initially, and solving the fire poison issue is simple ¨C by planting trees. I can go to the Red Dawn Institution and buy some Green Paulownia seedlings, or go to the Dance Tool Dao Academy to transplant a Vermillion Fruit Tree, or even plant some Fire Spirit Trees. These are all methods to transform fire poison into resources. Perhaps, after a hundred years, this wasteland poisoned by fire will become a lush forest.¡±


    Chen Mobai had been looking to convert the abundant tree resources of the Divine Tree Secret Realm, even considering leasing a forest in Yu Wood City. This piece of fire-poisoned land was perfect for his purposes.


    Firstly, he could use this as a pretext not to hire anyone for his puppet factory and operate it entirely with automation.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Secondly, the Dance Tool Dao Academy had extensive experience dealing with fire poison. Whether it was the Vermillion Fruit Tree or the Fire Spirit Tree, both could absorb and purify fire poison, not to mention the Green Paulownia, which could also manage earth veins.


    Moreover, the properties of the Red-sun Spirit Tree were not much different from those of the Fire Spirit Tree, and he could later label the Fire Spirit Tree from the Divine Tree Secret Realm as his homegrown brand.


    Since all lands differ, even if future patrons noticed some differences between the Red Sun Spiritual Wood and the Fire Spirit Wood, they would attribute it to the result of growth in lands poisoned by fire.


    ¡°Well, if you put it that way, let¡¯s get the paperwork started to hand over this piece of fire-poisoned wasteland.¡±


    On Planet Dihuan, all natural resources are owned by the Cultivators. Regular inhabitants could only obtain rights to use the land, and even then, such rights were time-limited.

 Chapter 575 - Chapter 575: Chapter 378: Its Really That Big (8K)_2

    Chapter 575: Chapter 378: It¡¯s Really That Big (8K)_2


    There are two types of land use rights: sale and grant.


    A sale is when the Celestial Sect mechanism sells it off and receives fiscal Good Deed Points. A grant refers to gifting it for use, typically as a policy support to attract investment, or to lure senior cultivators or large factories to establish their operations.


    As the renowned top Rank-2 Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Celestial Sect, Chen Mobai has the maximum policy support permitted from Qin Baipeng now that he¡¯s settled in Red Sandstone City.


    With Qin Baipeng¡¯s personal help, Chen Mobai soon obtained the right to use this plot of Flame Poison Wasteland, but the duration of this right was tied to him.


    If one day he decides to relocate, this land use right will become invalid.


    Originally, Wu Shangru was also tied down to Red Sandstone City in this way, but in the end, he found Chen Mobai to take over, thus securing a satisfactory resolution.


    After signing the grant agreement, under Qin Baipeng¡¯s accompaniment, Chen Mobai visited the Flame Poison Wasteland for an on-site inspection.


    With the help of the Red Sandstone City Celestial Sect Mechanism Land Management Bureau, a Red Line Array Method was set up to establish the boundaries and scope of the granted land.


    ¡°The flame poison is rooted in the earth¡¯s veins. Even if you plant Spirit Wood, it will take about ten years to completely sort it out.¡±


    After looking over the wasteland with his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction. Qin Baipeng, who was with him, was a little puzzled but he had heard that the Vermillion Fruit Tree thrived on flame poison. So, he guessed that Chen Mobai was probably happy because this land was suitable for transplanting that number one spirit plant from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°There might be problems with setting up a new factory, setting up protective arrays, and connecting to the Spirit Vein Aura. Feel free to find me when that happens.¡±


    When everything was finished, Qin Baipeng said this, then led his team back.


    Chen Mobai, however, stayed. He stood on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and inspected every inch of this wasteland.


    The reality will certainly deviate somewhat from the map.


    After the inspection, Chen Mobai chose a small hill with the most concentrated flame poison and decided to set up the formation from there.


    It just so happened that under Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s manipulation, he had come up with a tri-sun Qi Array Plate, which could be used here.


    But setting up an array is a professional field, and the larger the range covered by the array, the more it tests the Array Master¡¯s skill.


    Chen Mobai could set up a tri-sun Qi array within a one-meter range and evolve the Yuan Yang Sword Qi. But when placed on this nearly three-thousand-acre land, he was powerless.


    He could only call in his good brother.


    Yunyang Bing stayed at the Daoist Academy this year because next year he¡¯ll be out mapping with a group of students from the Array Department. So right now, their team was in a preparation and adjustment phase, and Jin Shuwei, another person from the Metaphysical class, was also there.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s call, Yunyang Bing thought for a moment, feeling that this could be a good opportunity for their team to practice. So, after reporting to the team leader, he brought the entire team of seven people over.


    One could only say that professionals sure do things differently. Having understood Chen Mobai¡¯s concept, Yunyang Bing, along with the students from the Array Department, conducted an on-site survey and precisely outlined all the distribution paths of the Fire Vein under this wasteland. They also altered the tri-sun Qi array, removed the restriction of requiring three Yang attribute flying swords, and maximized the power of the array to maintain constant temperature.


    The final ¡°Fire Yang Thousand Wood Qi Array¡± that they set up was only of intermediate grade rank-2, but it left room for upgrading in the future as per Chen Mobai¡¯s requirement.


    All it needed was for Spirit Trees to be planted at the key points of the array. As the Spirit Trees grew over time, the power of the array would increase, making its Spirit Attraction, temperature regulation, and Earth Vein cultivation abilities more potent.


    ¡°Good brother, I cannot thank you enough.¡±


    After the array was set up, Chen Mobai entertained these Array Department folks, even opening up his last small jar of rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine.


    ¡°It¡¯s your social capital. When I told them it¡¯s for your factory, they were all willing to come and help.¡±


    Yunyang Bing shook his head, downplaying his contribution.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt that his decision to succeed Zuo Qiushi as the student union president was indeed wise.


    However, if he hadn¡¯t made a name for himself in the Little Red Sky and the Jumang Daoist Academy, restored the glory of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and earned the title of the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Celestial Sect, there was no guarantee that these gifted students from the Array Department would leave their comfort zones to help him set up the array in this wild wasteland, let alone help him build his factory.


    ¡°Old Chen, this wine is good. Do you have any more?¡±


    After sipping the Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine, Jin Shuwei¡¯s eyes lit up and he called out.


    ¡°That was the last jar. But there¡¯s a new batch maturing next year, and I¡¯ll send each of you one.¡±


    Chen Mobai initially wanted to pay Good Deed Points to these Array Department students, but none of them accepted. However, the offer of wine managed to brighten the eyes of quite a few.


    Mainly because this Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine was really good. Brewed from pure natural ingredients, without industrial additives, procured from Giant Tree Ridge, its taste was quite distinct from common wines on the Celestial Sect market.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°It¡¯s settled then. When we return from mapping next year, we¡¯ll come to the student union to find you for wine.¡±


    A freckled boy from the Array Department, who seemed a bit drunk, his face flushed, cheerfully declared to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Definitely, definitely.¡±


    Chen Mobai patted his chest in assurance.


    The next day, Yunyang Bing¡¯s group returned to Crimson City. Chen Mobai originally wanted them to stay and look around for a while, but there weren¡¯t many attractions in Red Sandstone City, and they had been here for half a month setting up the array, which was a bit too long.

 Chapter 576 - Chapter 576: Chapter 378: Its Really That Big (8K)_3

    Chapter 576: Chapter 378: It¡¯s Really That Big (8K)_3


    Chen Mobai booked their flights and personally sent them off at the airport, thanking everyone profusely before they departed.


    While concentrating on the Bareland Formation, Chen Mobai did not forget to pay attention to the progress of puppet making.


    Chai Lun¡¯s team was quite reliable. After obtaining a steady supply of Red Sun Spiritual Wood and core chips, they quickly completed the production of the second batch of Labor Force Puppets.


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s inspection, he pointed out a few minor issues.


    After Chai Lun made improvements, both of them revamped the old equipment line in the Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory to be in sync with the Labor Force Puppets. However, using the Heavenly Calculation Bead to control the puppets instead of manual labor was not as efficient as they had hoped; moreover, unexpected errors occurred.


    ¡°We need to specifically custom-make machinery and magic artifact equipment that fit with the Puppet assembly line,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    After Chen Mobai and Chai Lun conducted numerous experiments, they came to a conclusion.


    However, this was expected. Chen Mobai¡¯s loan from the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror was for this purpose.


    There are many magic artifact factories within the Immortal Gate that produce talisman papers and inks. However, only two or three of them have independent design capability, accept customized orders, and also understand puppets.


    Luckily, one of them is directly under the Dance Tool Dao Academy, named ¡°Heavenly Craftsmanship Factory¡±!


    Just like the relationship between the Repairing Heaven Chip Factory and the Repairing Heaven Institute, although they are private enterprises in name, they are actually controlled by the Dao Academy.


    Chen Mobai was not familiar with the person in charge of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Factory, but he had a mentor.


    After Che Yucheng made a call, the chief engineer of Heavenly Craftsmanship Factory arrived with two technicians.


    The chief engineer spent eight years studying in the Puppet Department before graduating. Although he was poached by the Refining Implement Department in the middle due to his remarkable talent, he still regarded himself as a disciple of Che Yucheng.


    Chen Mobai promptly greeted him as senior brother.


    This senior brother named Zhou Tiangong is a Cultivator who has achieved Foundation Establishment Perfection. At the age of less than sixty, he has led his team to overcome many challenges in large-scale magical instrument machinery equipment. Having accumulated enough contributions, he is only waiting for his sixtieth anniversary to exchange for Core Formation spiritual materials.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen truly deserves to be the most outstanding chief of the Dao Academy in the last hundred years. The design approach to your puppet factory is quite ingenious.¡±


    After communicating with Chen Mobai, Zhou Tiangong complimented him, then he sketched out a blueprint of an assembly line that matched the puppets. Chen Mobai watched and put forward his ideas, calling Chai Lun over. After all, Chai Lun was the one who made the puppets, and he had the clearest idea of what equipment would bring out all the advantages of these puppets.


    Three geniuses from the Dance Tool Dao Academy brainstormed in the room for two days and two nights without sleep, and finally confirmed a set of equipment blueprints that satisfied everyone.


    ¡°Junior brother, the total is 7.8 million Good Deed Points, I won¡¯t charge you for the design fee of the equipment.¡±


    After agreeing on the technical aspects, it was now time to decide on the price.


    Just like the Repairing Heaven Chip Factory, Heavenly Craftsmanship Factory also operates on the principle of full payment before the start of production.


    While Chen Mobai was amazed at how quickly money was being spent, he also understood that high-end technology is the most profitable industry in the Immortal Gate.


    He invested nearly tens of millions of Good Deed Points to establish a puppet factory, all of which went to the Repairing Heaven Institute and the Dance Tool Dao Academy. And this was still at the lowest discount price because of his extensive connections and reputation.


    If it were any other Foundation Establishment cultivator from Red Sandstone City, the contract price would probably cost an additional two to three million Good Deed Points at least.


    Fortunately, after the equipment contract was signed, Chen Mobai¡¯s puppet factory would not have any other large expenditures.


    Soon, it was New Year¡¯s day.


    ¡°Brother, how do I look in this outfit?¡±


    In the warm living room, Wang Xinying spun around in her Primordial Elemental Academy uniform. The white skirt fluttered, and her sleeves were loose and flowing. Despite her youthful innocence, her petite face and dainty nose, along with her budding figure and the rosy flush on her fair, creamy skin from the warmth indoors, made her look youthful and stunning.


    ¡°My little sister is beautiful, whatever she wears is beautiful.¡±


    Chen Mobai was sitting on the sofa chatting with his friend Qing Nu on his phone and commented without looking away from his phone.


    ¡°Humph!¡±


    Wang Xinying pouted and collapsed next to him, forcing Chen Mobai to look up at her.


    ¡°Alright, stop bothering your brother. Come and help.¡±


    Aunt Chen Yulan, who was carrying dishes out from the kitchen, saw this and promptly pulled Wang Xinying away to help her.


    Relatives like Chen Xinglan and Chen Baolan laughed heartily at the scene.


    Wang Xinying did well in the entrance examination this year. Although she didn¡¯t make it into the four major Daoist Academies, getting accepted into the Primordial Elemental Academy was still something to be happy about for these elders.


    Chen Mobai had talked to Shi Yuanqing and asked him to take care of his sister when school starts next year.

    [Happy New Year!]


    After spending the New Year¡¯s Day joyously, Chen Mobai was planning to visit Xiao Nanshan when he received a New Year¡¯s greeting from Yan Bingxuan.


    It was at this moment that Chen Mobai remembered that he had offered to help her simulate the process of Foundation Establishment using the Faceless Puppets but had completely forgotten about it due to getting caught up with setting up the puppet factory.


    [Happy New Year, are you free on the first day of the new year?]


    Chen Mobai promptly covered up his mistake by arranging to meet Yan Bingxuan the next day at the Cultivation Gymnasium where he had previously taught her the Cold Ice Technique tricks.

 Chapter 577 - Chapter 577: Chapter 378: Its Really That Big (8K)_4

    Chapter 577: Chapter 378: It¡¯s Really That Big (8K)_4


    ¡°I apologize, I¡¯ve been busy with a new factory recently.¡±


    Upon seeing each other, Chen Mobai began with an apology.


    Yan Bingxuan today was still strikingly beautiful. She was wearing a blue inner lining, with a buttoned up black woolen sweater coat, a matching colored short waistcoat skirt and her exquisite black silk stockings wrapped in white knee-high boots. Complemented with her cold gaze and snow-white skin, she emanated a quiet elegance and cold beauty.


    ¡°When a man is young, he should focus more on his career and cultivation.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan shook her head, uttering words that surprised and touched Chen Mobai.


    For some reason, on the way to the spell cultivation room, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t resist sneaking a peek at the upper body of the beautiful woman beside him.


    Isn¡¯t that big, huh?


    ¡°I¡¯ll go first and take a look for you.¡±


    After securing the defense restrictions of the Cultivation Room, Chen Mobai took out the Divine Fire Mirror. Yan Bingxuan bit her lip when she saw it, but still nodded and stood in front of the mirror.


    After the mirror started flickering, the upright Chen Mobai voluntarily severed his divine sense connection with the artifact, then poured the most detailed bodily data of Yan Bingxuan into the featureless mannequin.


    Under the model¡¯s demonstration, the numeric dial in the mannequin¡¯s left eye began to tick from ¡°one¡± and quickly reached ¡°nine¡±.


    Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan stood side by side, watching as her transparent Ice Spirit Power flowed beautifully within the mannequin¡¯s meridians and followed the process of the Foundation Establishment. The qi in the mannequin¡¯s Dantian turned into a vortex and began to solidify. The first droplet of white, liquid spiritual power quickly became visible to them both.


    After witnessing this, Chen Mobai listened to Yan Bingxuan heave a sigh of relief.


    [It seems she¡¯s also very tense about the Foundation Establishment.]


    With that thought, the mannequin¡¯s performance of the Foundation Establishment soon came to the end of the second step, condensing Qi into a liquid form.


    Yet, just after the ninth droplet of Ice Spirit Power solidified, all the spiritual power started to lose control. Coupled with the previous eight solidified droplets of liquid spiritual power, it began to effervesce back into a gaseous state. It then turned into a harsh cold that injured half of her body and internal organs.


    Chen Mobai frowned and stopped the simulation. This indicated that with Yan Bingxuan¡¯s current state, she would not succeed if she attempted Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°I guess it won¡¯t work, huh?¡±


    The slightly disappointed voice of Yan Bingxuan sounded and Chen Mobai saw a rare expression of deep loss and sadness on her face.


    If he recalled correctly, this was the first time he¡¯d seen this kind of expression on Yan Bingxuan¡¯s face. It was quite novel.


    ¡°When you establish your foundation using the Xuan Bing Jue, how much liquid spiritual power do you need to condense?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked.


    ¡°Twelve droplets.¡±


    ¡°This means you only need to try a little more, and you can easily complete the condensing Qi into liquid phase. After all, the mannequin¡¯s evaluation suggests you can currently solidify up to the ninth droplet.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yan Bingxuan forced a smile. Three years ago, she had already reached the Qi cultivation perfection stage, and if she didn¡¯t establish foundation, no matter how hard she tried, there would be no room for improvement.


    ¡°Do you know about Spiritual Power Vortex?¡±


    Chen Mobai posed a question that made Yan Bingxuan tilt her head in curiosity.


    ¡°Spiritual Power Vortex? Is this a type of spell?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a cultivation technique that I learned from watching Master Qing Ping¡¯s Five Elements Cultivation training videos. It¡¯s very helpful for the step of condensing Qi into liquid form. Let me teach you.¡±


    After Chen Mobai explained the principles of the Spiritual Power Vortex, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s eyes sparkled, realizing a method that would allow her to simulate the process of condensing Qi into liquid form in advance.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled, shook his head, and pointed to the room.


    ¡°When we were here, you taught me the Cold Ice Technique without reservation. If it were not for you, I might not have been admitted to the Dance Tool Dao Academy. I should be the one to thank you.¡±


    After finishing, Chen Mobai asked Yan Bingxuan to sit cross-legged and began to coach her on how to practice the Spiritual Power Vortex.


    ¡°Relax, continue cultivating as you normally would, refining Spirit Qi into Spiritual Power, then put your divine sense into it. Imagine you are slowly shaking a cup of water in your hand.¡±


    ¡°After the Spiritual Power goes a full cycle, steer it back to the Dantian in a clockwise rotation. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s slow or not entirely circular, just get accustomed to this kind of rotation.¡±


    ¡°Give me your hand; I will infuse my spiritual power into you to help you understand.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon hearing this, Yan Bingxuan nodded and raised her right hand. Chen Mobai reached out and touched her fair, white wrist with two fingers. Considering the Ice Spirit Power she was cultivating, he chose to use his own Longevity Spiritual Power.


    His cultivation level far exceeded Yan Bingxuan¡¯s, even this thread of spiritual power was of much higher quality than all the spiritual power in her body. So as soon as it entered her body, it took control.


    The Longevity Spiritual Power instantly controlled all the Ice Spirit Power it encountered within Yan Bingxuan¡¯s body.


    When passing through a certain part of Yan Bingxuan¡¯s body, Chen Mobai found that the remaining Ice Spirit Power was particularly abundant. But he didn¡¯t think much about it. He thought it was due to flaws in Bing Xuan¡¯s practice of the method and guided his Spirit Power through the Grand Circulation circle in what he believed to be a clockwise rotation into her Qi Sea.


    Chen Mobai was particularly careful during this step. As compared to Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Dantian of Qi Practitioners was like the difference between a small bowl and a large vat. A thread of spiritual power that he might think insignificant might be overwhelmingly powerful for Yan Bingxuan.

 Chapter 578 - Chapter 578: Chapter 378: Its Really That Big (8K)_5

    Chapter 578: Chapter 378: It¡¯s Really That Big (8K)_5


    It took almost twenty minutes for Chen Mobai to guide all the Ice Spirit Power into his Dantian in a clockwise direction. He then dismissed his own Longevity Spiritual Power, only inserted his Divine Sense, and again led the Ice Spirit Power to oscillate slowly, gradually constructing the initial form of the vortex.


    This step was not easy, especially for Qi Practitioners with a high cultivation level, it was very challenging.


    However, under Chen Mobai¡¯s meticulous operation and his influence, Yan Bing Xuan¡¯s spiritual power in Dantian, which was originally as calm as the surface of flat water, finally began to ripple and started to take on the initial shape of a vortex.


    ¡°Done. Remember this feeling, once the spiritual power vortex takes form, you will not face any problem in the step of condensing Qi into Liquid.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished uttering these words, he withdrew his Divine Sense through the same path from Yan Bingxuan¡¯s body and opened his eyes.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Both of them opened their eyes at the same time, and Yan Bingxuan seriously thanked Chen Mobai once more.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already told you it¡¯s not needed¡­. Eh¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai, unconcerned, lifted his hand that was resting on Yan Bingxuan¡¯s wrist, accidently brushing against something soft and plentiful. He looked down in surprise and his eyes widened instantly.


    Yan Bingxuan¡¯s black knitted coat which was initially buttoned up, had now torn open at the chest. A couple of buttons had flown off leaving only the broken threads behind.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth hung open. He stared blankly at the tightly stretched blue underlining which had filled his view.


    He felt that his right hand, which he had lifted, had contacted one of these mounds, but he could not see his hand at all. The two mounds were fuller beyond his imagination, blocking all his downward vision.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    Yan Bingxuan also finally reacted, letting out a startled cry, she jumped up, covering her torn black knitted jacket with her hands, but her hands simply could not cover it all.


    Even due to her actions, her knitted jacket, which usually fit her upper body perfectly, had two more buttons fly off the top and the bottom because she was pulling it tightly on her chest.


    Chen Mobai also finally reacted at this moment. He stood still and turned around on the spot.


    ¡°I¡­I didn¡¯t see anything.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke words that obviously intended to cover up. He noticed that his right hand was still raised, and immediately brought it down swiftly.


    Then he remembered that when he was guiding the spiritual power in Yan Bingxuan¡¯s body, there seemed to be a lot of residual Ice Spirit Power in the chest area. He initially thought that it was her oversight. Now thinking back, it must have been used for maintaining her transformation with a spell.


    It¡¯s genuinely so big!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face was still in disbelief, unable to see his feet when looking down. Probably because of this reason, Yan Bingxuan must have been using a spell to reduce them every day.


    ¡°I¡¯m done.¡±


    Just when Chen Mobai was engrossed in his thoughts, Yan Bingxuan¡¯s voice in a normal tone sounded from behind him.


    He slowly turned around and saw Bingxuan back to her daily look. He couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    ¡°I won¡¯t tell anyone about it.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. As a kid, I cared a lot about it, often felt inferior when my peers teased me. So, I learned a spell to conceal it. But now, I don¡¯t care anymore, but because I¡¯m used to this form, I transform every day before going out.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan¡¯s tone had returned to calm, but Chen Mobai could tell from the blush covering her pale skin that she was still a bit flustered.


    ¡°It¡¯s quite inconvenient when they¡¯re so large.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave a forced laugh, then both of them lapsed into an awkward silence.


    ¡°Thank you for teaching me about the spiritual power vortex.¡±


    In the end, it was Yan Bingxuan who took the initiative to end the silence. Chen Mobai quickly waved his hands indicating he was glad to help, then the two of them made quick small talk and promptly concluded the encounter.


    What he saw today was a bit too shocking for Chen Mobai.


    So, he decided not to go home but to distract himself with work instead.


    During the Chinese New Year, Chai Lun naturally wouldn¡¯t stay in Danxia City to continue working. He and his team members were all off for seven days.


    When Chen Mobai arrived at the Flying Heavenly Talisman factory, he was the only one there.


    However, now he can be regarded as an outstanding Puppet Master. He activated all the Labor Force Puppets produced and calibrated by Chai Lun and then poured his divine sense into the already refined Heavenly Calculation Bead.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Soon, Chen Mobai felt that his Divine Sense, after going through the Heavenly Calculation Bead, seemed to be divided into thin threads and precisely injected into every activated puppet¡¯s core chip.


    After controlling forty Labor Force Puppets separately, Chen Mobai felt like he was holding forty playing cards in his hand. Although it was a bit too much for him to take in, he did not have the symptoms of dizziness and headaches he used to have when the number of divided minds into thoughts was too much.


    This Heavenly Calculation Bead is really useful!


    Chen Mobai immersed himself in maneuvering the forty puppets, operating machines, moving materials, starting talisman ink making machines, and many more. He stumbled and made errors but continued to experiment with the various functions of the Heavenly Calculation Bead in the process.


    He soon forgot the massive shock he received in his head.

 Chapter 579 - Chapter 579: Chapter 379: Transplanting Vermillion Fruit Tree_1

    Chapter 579: Chapter 379: Transplanting Vermillion Fruit Tree_1


    Three days after the New Year, Chai Lun returned.


    He had only graduated a few years ago, and at this age, his mind was filled with thoughts of career development and improving his cultivation level. Although the puppet factory, because of the acquaintances, the profits were not high, but it was a practical application of the entire puppet Dao system. This was a very rare practical opportunity for him.


    After all, apart from the immortal gate mechanism, private businesses generally do not consider the luxury of replacing human labor with puppets.


    During these few days when Chai Lun was resting at home, he had some more ideas.


    ¡°You can customize some special transportation tools that can be driven by puppets, or directly integrate the main controller chip with the transportation tool to create a transport puppet, which can save labor in the future for loading and unloading goods.¡±


    Although the puppet factory can operate according to established procedures, the raw materials for making talisman paper and talisman ink still need to be obtained and transported from outside. Chai Lun¡¯s idea was to replace this part with puppets as well.


    Chen Mobai thought about it and found it made sense, so he found a company that specifically makes transportation tools within the immortal gate and ordered two large and two small transport vehicles.


    Of course, in order to be compatible with the puppet, Chen Mobai had to make a trip himself. After all, only he and Chai Lun understood the related technical standards.


    Chai Lun had to continue making puppets, so he had to go as the client side.


    The customized transportation tools cost Chen Mobai another 2.3 million Good Deed Points.


    However, Chen Mobai was willing to spend this Good Deed Points. After all, when he increases the output of his factory in the future, these transportation tools will be indispensable.


    Previously, the Flying Talisman Factory did not produce many goods, so they hired logistic companies for bulk goods transportation.


    Aside from the one-time investment in the transportation tools, the labor cost of the driver was also indispensable. However, if Chen Mobai could replace the human labor with puppets, he could save money.


    But if the puppet were to hit the road, it would need to go through a special approval procedure in the Immortal Gate, and could only run on specific routes.


    After Chen Mobai finished the transportation tool order, he immediately asked Qin Baipeng to help open the puppet¡¯s road route between Red Sandstone City and neighboring Yu Wood City. In the future, the Red Sun Spiritual Wood could be legally transported into his own factory nonstop.


    In the midst of busyness.


    The time for the start of school quickly arrived.


    Chen Mobai had to temporarily put aside the puppet factory matters and returned to Crimson City temporarily.


    Aside from registering for the eighth-grade courses, the most important thing was that his Rank-2 Talisman Maker assessment was about to begin.


    Of course, with the start of the new semester, it was necessary for someone from the student council to coordinate between teachers and students for course arrangements. With Hua Zijing having graduated, a lot of things required Chen Mobai to step in personally.


    Fortunately, thanks to the effects of Enlightenment Tea, he was fully confident in the professional exams.


    ¡°Congratulations, from now on you are a Rank-2 Talisman Maker.¡±


    In the exam hall of Crimson City that was specifically for testing talisman making, Chen Mobai, in front of three examiners, under full camera surveillance, brought out his various talisman brushes, and smoothly completed the drawing of ten Rank-2 talismans.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    After shaking hands with each examiner, Chen Mobai completed the registration on the spot and received his Rank-2 Talisman Maker¡¯s professional seal.


    ¡°Looking at your success rate and stability, you should have been at the Rank-2 Talisman Maker level for a while, I heard that when you enrolled, you were claimed to be the number one in talisman making, how come you are only now taking the Rank-2 professional examination.¡±


    One of the examiners had graduated from the Dance Tool Dao Academy and his name was Zeng Xingfu.


    Before the exam he didn¡¯t say a word, but after Chen Mobai passed the exam, there was no longer a need to be impartial, so he came over to greet him with a smile.


    ¡°I have had many things to manage and have therefore spent less time on talisman making. It¡¯s only this year that I became confident enough in passing the test.¡±


    Chen Mobai was being truthful, but Zeng Xingfu took it as him being modest.


    Zeng Xingfu and the other two invigilators witnessed the whole process of Chen Mobai drawing ten talismans, his performance surpassed the average level of Rank-2 by far. In fact, in his brush strokes, there were even glimpses of a Rank-3 Talisman Maker¡¯s techniques.


    ¡°In this generation, there are not many who are talented and humble like Little Chen. Not surprisingly, you are indeed the most brilliant chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy in a century.¡±


    The other two examiners also came over, greatly praising Chen Mobai. He was young and promising yet unarrogant and composed.


    Zeng Xingfu heard and beamed, patting Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulder with a sentiment.


    ¡°I hope I can see another Gold Core True Person from the Dao Academy before I die.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Examiners for the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal are generally experts who have retired from the Immortal Gate system after reaching the statutory retirement age, and have been rehired to keep themselves busy.


    For example, Zeng Xingfu was over one hundred and eighty years old. Although his facial features were well-maintained, his hair had turned grey.


    Ten years ago, he exchanged all his working years and Good Deed Points for a Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, but unfortunately, he failed to form a core and his Essence and Blood Energy levels were depleted


    Although Zeng Xingfu also took a Lifespan Extension Pill to replenish the lifespan he lost due to his severe injuries, according to the rules of the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai could obtain Gold Core Spiritual Material at the earliest after sixty years, so it¡¯s very likely Zeng Xingfu won¡¯t see this day.


    ¡°Senior Chi Shicheng can exchange for a Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill in thirty more years. Maybe Teacher Zeng will be able to see the day of his Core Formation.¡±

 Chapter 580 - Chapter 580: Chapter 379: Transplanting the Vermillion Fruit Tree_2

    Chapter 580: Chapter 379: Transplanting the Vermillion Fruit Tree_2


    ¡°I hope it¡¯s as you say.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Zeng Xingfu burst into laughter.


    Almost half of the successful Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Immortal Gates belong to the four Great Dao Academies. Chi Shicheng is indeed the one with the most potential to advance to the Core Formation level among the Dance Tool Dao Academy in the last sixty years.


    ¡°Little Chen, it seems you haven¡¯t joined the Talisman Maker Association yet. Are you interested? The Association has many true versions of talismans. Aside from a few ancient talismans treasured in the Xianmen Museum, the inheritance of the talisman is arguably the most numerous and complete in the entire Xianmen. Moreover, our president is one of the only two Rank-5 Talisman Makers in Xianmen, Master Yu Yi from the Heavenly Book Academy.¡±


    A middle-aged female examiner named Yan Wanqing gently invited him. All the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal in Xianmen have their own associations. Other people who want to join must at least pass the examination of Rank-2 Talisman Maker.


    Moreover, besides the Rank-2 Professional Seal, they still need to pass the exclusive examination within the Talisman Maker Association.


    However, as long as there are three formal members in the association who approve, a new Rank-2 Talisman Maker can join the association without examination.


    Chen Mobai, a genius in talisman making and also the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, all three of them on the scene would be happy to serve as his guide into the association as long as he is willing.


    ¡°Well, because I will focus my main energy on the Daoist Academy and Puppet Dao in the next few years, there may not be enough time to spend on the path of talisman making before graduation.¡±


    Chen Mobai honestly stated. With Pure Yang Scroll and perfect Foundation Establishment of Divine Sense, plus a Puppet Factory that just started on the right track, and future trading across two realms, at least in his priority order in the next ten years, the rank of talisman making is relatively low.


    ¡°That¡¯s okay. In fact, our Talisman Maker Association is a loose organization. It merely provides a platform for everyone to communicate and learn from each other. Most Cultivators who are above Rank-3 in the Immortal Gate are in the association. Once you join, as long as you pay an annual fee of 100 Good Deed Points, you can freely browse and download the inheritance of Rank-1 to Rank-4 talismans in the association. Moreover, the task of making talismans issued by the association is voluntary, you don¡¯t have to worry about being constrained or anything.¡±


    Zeng Xingfu seldom persuaded, hearing this, Chen Mobai also stopped refusing the goodwill of the three examiners.


    After filling out an application to join the Talisman Maker Association, Zeng Xingfu and the other two each signed their names and put their Professional Seals on it, and the procedure was completed.


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised to see that Zeng Xingfu¡¯s seal was actually a Rank-3 Talisman Maker.


    But thinking about his age, he understood.


    After the perfect Foundation Establishment in the Xianmen, especially for civil servants, they have lots of free time while waiting for Core Formation. Zeng Xingfu, as a graduate of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, is naturally a genius. It is only natural that he has become a Rank-3 Talisman Maker after nearly a hundred years of research.


    Chen Mobai, considering the various matters of the new semester in the Daoist Academy, only had lunch with Zeng Xingfu and the others, added their contact information, and then went straight back to Crimson Mountain.


    ¡°President, how did the exam go?¡±


    Inside the small western-styled building of the Student Council, Zhuang Jialan asked with concern when she saw Chen Mobai return.


    ¡°With the guidance of you, my little teacher, I¡¯m sure I passed.¡±


    Chen Mobai took out his Rank-2 Professional Seal and teased.


    ¡°President is a genius. Even without my advice, he could easily pass.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan sighed with relief when she saw the seal.


    In fact, she was a little worried deep down. After all, Chen Mobai was a bit rusty when he first asked her for guidance last year. However, he learned faster and faster later on, and he had a success rate of 70-80% in each practice even before taking Enlightenment Tea.


    ¡°Is there any conflict with the new term¡¯s courses?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked about the work of the Student Council. Zhuang Jialan immediately took out a document and mentioned three courses that were cancelled by the Academic Affairs Office because of the insufficient number of students who had signed up. These students needed to re-select a course to avoid affecting the number of credits at the end of the year.


    The Student Council needs to step in and handle these matters.


    However, some students who reselect courses might not be accepted by the instructors due to overcapacity.


    This is the case this year.


    ¡°I got it. Notify Zhongli Tianyu, the three of us will handle this matter together.¡±


    After the puppet factory started to take off, Chen Mobai had decided to resign from his position as the student council president by the end of this year. Although Zhongli Tianyu was a bit eccentric, his cultivation realm was high and he was the strongest among their generation after the chief.


    His succession could at least ensure that the Dance Tool Dao Academy would remain the number one among all immortal sects in the next three years.


    Anyway, Chen Mobai would definitely not attend any offline sparring in the future.


    He had already cleared all the stages, it was no longer fun for him!


    Moreover, it was unlikely that the other Daoist academies would send graduates like last year because it would limit the opportunities for the younger generation.


    Last year was an anomaly, Chen Mobai¡¯s massacre in Little Red Sky had left many from the Daoist academies unconvinced, hence the incident.


    Now, online and offline, everyone had been beaten into submission by Chen Mobai. Nobody would come court humiliation again.


    Chen Mobai stayed in the Daoist Academy for another month, dealt with the busiest period after the start of the term, and then asked for leave from Che Yucheng. The reason he gave was to put the puppet knowledge he had learned from textbooks into practice.


    Che Yucheng definitely approved.


    ¡°I also heard about your puppet factory from Zhou Tiangong. The factory is in a place with fire poison. You need help from the Earth Masters from the academy to deal with it, right?¡±


    After approving Chen Mobai¡¯s year-long leave from the academy, Che Yucheng asked with concern.


    ¡°Yunyang Bing has already assessed it, he has also passed the Rank-2 Earth Master test. He said that there are no major problems, just need to plant more trees. Speaking of this, can the academy provide me with a Rank-2 Vermillion Fruit Tree and Fire Spirit Tree sapling? These would be very suitable for managing the fire poison on my land.¡±


    Che Yucheng didn¡¯t bring it up so Chen Mobai was going to mention it. It fits right in and he quickly moved on with the conversation.


    ¡°For the Fire Spirit Tree, just tell Director Jin from the Spiritual Plant Department. Although the exchange period has passed, it can be treated as a special case. The Vermillion Fruit Tree would be a bit troublesome¡­¡±


    The Fire Spirit Tree is one of the tree species developed by Dance Tool Dao Academy, specifically for planting on fire veins. Due to their tenacity, there are many seeds available, and most first year students in Spiritual Plant Department use these trees for research.


    One study credit in the academy can exchange for 10 Rank-1 Fire Spirit Tree saplings.


    After Che Yucheng made phone calls, a few students from the Spiritual Plant Department soon delivered 100 saplings.


    ¡°As for the Vermillion Fruit Tree, students are not allowed to exchange their study credits for them. Moreover, Rank-2 spirit trees have already matured and transplanting them can be very challenging.¡±


    After Che Yucheng finished, he made a few more phone calls. Finally, his face softened, seemingly having found a solution.


    ¡°Senior teachers and directors in the academy can exchange for the Vermillion Fruit Tree. I¡¯ve exchanged a Rank-2 one in my name for you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, teacher. How many study credits did it cost? I¡¯ll transfer them to you.¡±

    When Chen Mobai heard this, he was touched.


    ¡°Never mind, consider it an early graduation gift from me.¡±


    Che Yucheng spoke casually, which moved Chen Mobai even more. The value of the Rank-2 Vermillion Fruit Tree must be high, because every year 20 study credits were required to exchange for a Rank-2 Vermillion Fruit.


    Afterwards, when Chen Mobai followed the students of the Spiritual Plant Department to transplant the Vermillion Fruit Tree, he found that a Rank-2 Vermillion Fruit Tree required 300 study credits to be exchanged, equivalent to three device pieces.


    He could only etch this favor in his heart and vowed not to let down Che Yucheng¡¯s mentorship. He would definitely propagate his Puppet Dao.

 Chapter 581 - Chapter 581: Chapter 380: A Hundredfold Price Difference_1

    Chapter 581: Chapter 380: A Hundredfold Price Difference_1


    The Vermillion Fruit Tree is a spirit plant second only to the Big Tree within the Immortal Gate.


    Despite only being rank-2, the one transplanted by Chen Mobai is a spiritual object that many cultivators during their Foundation Establishment stage can only dream of.


    The Immortal Gate originaly had only one Vermillion Fruit Tree, planted deep within the Treasure Trove at the core of the Fire Vein, it¡¯s a rank-5 Vermillion Fruit Tree.


    The Vermillion Fruit Trees planted by Dance Tool Dao Academy on various mountains were all cultivated from this original tree.


    The Fire Spirit Tree is a spirit plant that was accidentally cultivated during the study of branches from the Vermillion Fruit Tree. However, compared to how easy it is to grow a Fire Spirit Tree, the Vermillion Fruit Tree is much more delicate.


    Apart from the requisite Fire Vein environment, it also needs things like earth¡¯s energy and steam which are indispensable. Moreover, these three different types of spiritual energy need to maintain a specific proportion. Only then can the Vermillion Fruit Tree feel comfortable enough to bear flowers and fruits.


    ¡°I see.¡±


    After listening to the explanation by the student from the Spiritual Plant Department, Chen Mobai had an enlightened look on his face.


    His research in agricultural studies runs deep, and his understanding of spiritual plants is also notable.


    ¡°Old Chen, you¡¯ll need to finish planting this Vermillion Fruit Tree as soon as possible after it is removed from the soil, so as not to affect its vitality,¡± said Wang Xingyu, a rank-2 Alchemist as well as a rank-2 Spirit Plant Master. Each year, he helps Chen Mobai select mature Vermillion Fruits for exchange. This time, when Chen Mobai transplanted a Vermillion Fruit tree, he had asked this good brother to help.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have arranged for a special transportation vehicle, it will arrive tomorrow.¡±


    Actually, if he could, Chen Mobai really wanted to personally transport this priceless Vermillion Fruit Tree to Red Sandstone City on his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±. But unfortunately, the Immortal Gate had very strict regulations on personal flights across several realms. Even if you have connections, the process takes half a month.


    Luckily, the transportation vehicle Chen Mobai had ordered was delivered just a few days before, which could be used now.


    ¡°But the academy is really stingy, giving you a tree without any fruits.¡±


    Looking at the fruitless Vermillion Fruit Tree before him, which was over three meters tall and had many branches, Wang Xingyu couldn¡¯t help but complain.


    ¡°Having a tree to exchange is already good. Old Chen, when your Vermillion Fruit Tree is full of energy, give me a small branch in the future. I¡¯ll try to cultivate a small one.¡±


    A petite, fresh-faced and beautiful girl standing next to Wang Xingyu spoke. She was Gong Ranran from the Metaphysical Class¡¯s small circle, and her major course was the Spiritual Plant Department.


    Although she focuses on cultivating and planting flowers, trees, etc., Wang Xingyu is dedicated to cultivating medicinal herbs for alchemy.


    Their interests were similar, so they got along well since their freshman year. However, as geniuses of the academy, they both had self-restraint.


    They only confessed their feelings to each other and officially started dating after Wang Xingyu also successfully completed his Foundation Establishment. Chen Mobai learned about their relationship today when Wang Xingyu brought Gong Ranran over.


    ¡°No problem. Once the first batch of fruits from this transplanted Vermillion Fruit Tree matures, I¡¯ll invite you over for a fruit tasting party. You can cut off a branch and take it with you then.¡±


    Only when the Vermillion Fruit Tree is full of energy will it bear flowers and fruit.


    The first fruits that become after transplantation, however, will only be rank-1 due to the new adaptation environment.


    A rank-1 Vermillion Fruit takes one year to bloom, another to bear fruit and yet another to ripen, totaling a span of three years.


    A rank-2 Vermillion Fruit takes three years to blossom, another three to bear fruit, and another three to ripen, requiring nearly ten years for harvest.


    The fruits of the rank-5 Vermillion Fruit Tree in Dance Tool Dao Academy are considered one of the rarest treasures in their sect. Consuming it greatly benefits cultivators cultivating a Fire Attribute art, and it can even help in Nascent Soul Formation.


    The present dean of Dance Tool Dao Academy, Cheng Xuan, is said to have succeeded in Nascent Soul Formation because he consumed a rank-5 Vermillion Fruit.


    Many cultivators in the sect are thus willing to cultivate Vermillion Fruit Trees. Because theoretically, a well-nurtured Vermilion Fruit Tree will eventually reach rank-5 after thousands of years if given enough spiritual energy.


    Although cultivators do not have a long lifespan, planting a Vermillion Fruit Tree today could potentially allow their descendants to enjoy its fruits in the future.


    On the second day, Chen Mobai, Wang Xingyu, and Gong Ranran together left Crimson Mountain using the vehicle carrying the Vermillion Fruit Tree.


    The transplantation of a spirit tree requires professionals. Although Chen Mobai also has some knowledge in this area, he also invited Wang Xingyu and Gong Ranran, the spirit plant masters, just to be on the safe side.


    On the way, Gong Ranran used the Water Moistening Technique to make sure the Vermillion Fruit Tree stayed healthy.


    ¡°Old Chen, you do have a pretty vast place here.¡±


    After traveling day and night for five days and finally arriving at Red Sandstone City, Wang Xingyu jumped down from the vehicle and looked at the orderly layout and towering puppet factories, his eyes gleaming with excitement.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°This factory and formation were all set up last year by Yunyang Bing and his team. These spots marked for tree planting will serve as the nodes for the formation.¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed to the many pits dug in this vast wasteland and then pointed to the foothills at the center of the formation. The Array Plate for the ¡°Three Suns in One Breath¡± formation was buried here. The Vermillion Fruit Tree would also be planted here, serving as the hub connecting the formation and the Fire Vein.


    ¡°Leave it to us.¡±


    Filled with energy, Wang Xingyu said. He and Gong Ranran used the technique of controlling objects to move the three-meter-tall Vermillion Fruit Tree from the transportation vehicle. After triple-checking the measurements, they finally decided on the final position.


    ¡°It¡¯s right here.¡±

 Chapter 582 - Chapter 582: Chapter 380: A Hundredfold Price Difference_2

    Chapter 582: Chapter 380: A Hundredfold Price Difference_2


    Gong Ranran put down the jade disc magic tool used to survey the flow of the earth¡¯s veins in her hand, and pointed out a circle with a diameter of half a meter on the sunny slope of the hill.


    Chen Mobai and Wang Xingyu immediately took out their magic tools and after a short while, they dug out a hole large enough for the Vermillion Fruit Tree to be planted.


    ¡°Next, it will require daily watering and rainfall. Once the spirit tree has adapted to its environment and starts budding, it means the transplantation has been successful.¡±


    Gong Ranran, a genius at Dance Tool Dao Academy specializing in spirit plants, had researched the Vermillion Fruit Tree for two years and was very familiar with the habits of this spirit plant.


    ¡°You might have to put in some additional effort for a while.¡±


    Chen Mobai certainly didn¡¯t understand the Vermillion Fruit Tree as deeply as Wang Xingyu, which was why he had invited them to ensure the successful transplantation.


    ¡°We¡¯ll consider this as a practical application of our spirit plant course.¡±


    However, Wang Xingyu and Gong Ranran looked quite pleased and content.


    At this point in their relationship, they were deeply in love. No matter the environment, as long as they were together, everything felt like paradise.


    After Chen Mobai treated them to a meal in Red Sandstone City, knowing that they both were spirit plant masters and loved spirit wood, he took them to Red Dawn Institution to see the Rank-4 Blue Jade Wellingtonia.


    ¡°It¡¯s truly magnificent. I guess only the Big Tree which suppresses the Ten Thousand Waters and Mountains is more majestic than this Blue Jade Wellingtonia.¡±


    Gong Ranran was mesmerised by the Blue Jade Tree at the apex of the highest mountain peak, towering into the clouds and enveloping in a mist that looked like a bridge from earth to the heavens, as she stood among the Wellingtonia forest at the foot of the mountain.


    Even the Rank-5 Vermillion Fruit Tree at Dance Tool Dao Academy pales in comparison to this Blue Jade Wellingtonia in terms of physical appearance.


    ¡°All the green paulownia seedlings here are branches of the Blue Jade Wellingtonia. I¡¯ve also got one.¡±


    Since the mountain top where the Rank-4 Blue Jade Wellingtonia stood was the seclusion place for Gold Core Cultivators, they could only tour around Red Dawn Institution at the midpoint of the mountain. Chen Mobai bought two green paulownia seedlings as a token of gratitude for Wang Xingyu and Gong Ranran.


    They were both very happy with this gift.


    As flowers, fruits, roots, and stems of Blue Jade Wellingtonia were widely sold in the Red Dawn Institution as prime materials for alchemy, Wang Xingyu, being an Alchemist, bought a large batch. He had far more gains in Red Sandstone City compared to Yunyang Bing.


    For the next month, Gong Ranran helped in looking after the Vermillion Fruit Tree while Wang Xingyu shuttled between the Puppet Factory and Red Dawn Institution, trying to master the alchemy system centering around the Blue Jade Wellingtonia.


    Purple Fire Pill, Fire Clearing Pill, Waterfire Pill, Blue Flame Pill, Jade Fire Pill and so on, he started to refine them one by one according to their formulas by purchasing the materials.


    Whenever he was confused, Wang Xingyu put aside his prideful identity of Dance Tools Dao Academy and humbly asked the teachers at Red Dawn Institution for guidance.


    The teachers at the Hundred and Twenty Mansion, many of them merely at the 9th level of Qi Cultivation, felt honored to be consulted by a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator from an academy and showed their real skills to him.


    By the time Chen Mobai¡¯s Vermillion Fruit Tree had been successfully transplanted, Wang Xingyu entered a critical phase in learning the alchemy system of Red Dawn Institution. Consequently, he applied for an internship outside the Daoist Academy, just like Chen Mobai.


    Gong Ranran, who was idle, helped Chen Mobai plant the hundred Fire Spirit Tree seedlings while caring for the Vermillion Fruit Tree.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai went to Red Dawn Institution again to buy some green paulownia seedlings. He also went to the neighboring Yu Wood City, known for its cultivation of spirit wood, to purchase Qingbai Spirit Wood, Purple Pine Spirit Wood, White Willow Spirit Wood, Flowering Pear Spirit Wood and other tree seedlings, totaling a thousand, to be planted on the Thousand Wood Nodes of the Yunyang Ice Array Method.


    Of course, he also mixed in seedlings of the Red-sun Spirit Tree.


    Two months later, when Wang Xingyu finally mastered the alchemy system of Red Dawn Institution, Chen Mobai¡¯s previously deserted Puppet Factory started to take shape.


    Chai Lun led his team to complete all puppet production, and the equipment ordered from the Academy of Heavenly Crafts had also arrived. Recently, Chen Mobai had been busily adjusting the final settings of the Puppet Factory.


    The factory merely occupied a very small portion of this deserted land. On the remainder of the vast land, various species of Spirit Wood tree seedlings were planted sporadically.


    Once these seedlings fully grew, they would not only turn this place into a land of grace but also complete the ¡°Fire Sun Thousand Wood Array¡± set up by Yunyang Bing and his team, transforming it into a vast woodland.


    ¡°Chen, I should be thanking you this time.¡±


    Wang Xingyu had a joyful look on his face. After incorporating the alchemy system of Red Dawn Institution into his own knowledge structure, his alchemy skills improved significantly, and he was confident about passing the Rank-3 Alchemist examination.


    He had already been a Rank-2 Alchemist during his Qi Cultivation period. However, over the years because of not reaching Foundation Establishment, his Alchemy had hit a bottleneck.


    Originally, he had planned to naturally progress as it comes, but surprisingly, after coming to Red Sandstone City to help transplant the Vermillion Fruit Tree, he found the opportunity to take his alchemy to the next level.


    ¡°The key point is that you have now built your foundation. The enhancement of your cultivation level is the key to breaking through in Alchemy.¡±


    As an observer, Chen Mobai had a clearer perspective. Wang Xingyu, being the top alchemist of their cohort and possessing exceptional talent, would have been able to absorb knowledge from other sources even if the Alchemy System of the Red Dawn Institution was absent.


    Breaking through from Rank-2 to Rank-3 in Alchemy, the crux lies in the advancement of the cultivation level.


    After all, in the history of the Immortal Sects, there have been many Cultivators who possess Hundred Immortal Skills beyond their cultivation level, but almost none who can cross two ranks.


    Aside from strict testing in the Immortal Sect, many advancements that require bridging the gap often demand a Divine Sense and Spiritual Power that far surpass the limits tolerated by Cultivators.


    For instance, if Chen Mobai were to draw a Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman now, he believes he could accomplish it with some training. However, if asked to draw a Rank-4, he could never do it even if his cultivation level was increased ten-fold.


    ¡°Old Chen, then we should return to the Daoist Academy first.¡±


    Wang Xingyu, after mastering the essence of the Red Dawn Institution¡¯s Alchemy, no longer needed to stay in Red Sandstone City.


    ¡°I am grateful to you both for this time. You both can keep these two jars of wine.¡±


    Even though it was primarily Gong Ranran who helped this time, and Wang Xingyu mostly went out to study, Chen Mobai still expressed his gratitude to both of them.


    ¡°There is no need for formalities between us.¡±


    Both of them had previously tasted the Spiritual Wine brewed in Chen Mobai¡¯s hometown, so they accepted it without hesitation.


    After bidding them farewell, the Puppet Factory constructed by Chen Mobai reached its final stages of setup.


    Zhou Tiangong also spent his time here, along with Chai Lun. The three talented Puppet Lines individuals gathered together to address the various issues that arose while operating the Puppet Factory.


    ¡°Phew, it has finally succeeded.¡±


    After three consecutive days and nights of uneventful operation, with no alerts from either the equipment or puppets, Chai Lun heaved a sigh of relief, downing the tea from the table in one gulp.


    ¡°I appreciate the hard work from both of you, seniors.¡±


    Chen Mobai sincerely thanked Zhou Tiangong and Chai Lun, who just waved their hands indicating that it was their responsibility.


    ¡°Although the Puppet Factory has started successfully, it can only serve the production of talisman paper and talisman ink for now. You¡¯ve claimed such a large land here, do you have plans to expand it to other industries in the future?¡±


    Zhou Tiangong held the talisman paper made by the fully mechanized Puppet Factory in the past two days, observing the difference between it and manually made ones, while asking Chen Mobai for his plans.


    ¡°In the future, once the toxic fires are purged, I plan to develop a forest, a medicinal field, and breed some Spirit Beasts. Maybe I¡¯ll start by opening a pharmacy. If that proves profitable, I may extend to the Artifact Refining industry.¡±


    Chen Mobai briefly stated his industrial intentions. But for the next ten years, his focus would mainly be on talisman paper and ink, capitalizing on the spirit wood resources in the Divine Tree Secret Realm to establish his foothold in the Immortal Sects.


    However, making a profit in Spirit Wood Sects isn¡¯t the main focus, as resources have already assigned clear and stringent classifications and timings. The amount of Good Deed Points earned is secondary.


    The crux is to sell things from here in the Tianhe Realm.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    For instance, the Rank-1 superior talisman paper in Zhou Tiangong¡¯s hand is priced at only 80 Good Deed Points in the Immortal Sects market.


    However, at the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai had seen the price being marked as 1 Spirit Stone for a dozen in the sect shop.


    That is a dozen sheets!


    After conversion, the price difference is more than a hundredfold.


    As long as the Divine Wood Sect can protect it, Chen Mobai is confident about taking over the entire talisman paper and ink market in the Eastern Wilderness.

 Chapter 583 - Chapter 583: Chapter 381: Returning to the Divine Wood Sect_1

    Chapter 583: Chapter 381: Returning to the Divine Wood Sect_1


    After all the equipment and puppets have been tuned and adjusted, the puppet factory that had plunged Chen Mobai into a mountain of debt was finally completed.


    After seeing off Chai Lun and Zhou Tiangong, Chen Mobai checked his account. With less than a million Good Deed Points left, he couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly pressured.


    Although his status as a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage and having Qin Baipeng as his guarantor meant that his interest rate was at its lowest, the Good Deed Points in his account were barely enough to cover the interest due at the end of the year.


    The urgent task at hand was to open up distribution channels.


    This applied to both the Tianhe Realm and the Daoist Academy world.


    However, Chen Mobai already had a plan in mind.


    Within the Daoist Academy, there were only minimum standards set for the production of talisman paper.


    The talisman papers produced by countless factories in the Thirty-Six Heavenly Realms and the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands all meet the minimum standards, with little difference in quality.


    This, in turn, led to much differentiation.


    For instance, some talisman factories, unable to survive the intense competition in the everyday talisman paper market, would start improving the quality of their talisman paper and strive for excellence.


    Practically every factory in the Daoist Academy¡¯s talisman market had its own high-quality products to tout.


    The Feitian Talisman Factory, for instance, had a type of talisman paper called ¡°Biyu¡± researched by Wu Shangru.


    Named after the special product ¡®Biyu Sweetgum¡¯ from Red Sandstone City, this Rank-2 talisman paper was well-known in the talisman market of the Heavenly Realms and Blessed Lands in the east of the Daoist Academy.


    The process of making this Biyu talisman paper was far more complex than that of Rank-1 talisman paper.


    The pulp for Rank-1 talisman paper only required a practitioner-worker to add in the various spiritual elements at the right proportions to the smashed and boiled wood pulp. The subsequent steps such as removing impurities and pulp coagulation were all automatically done by the paper-making machine.


    However, the pulp manufacture for Rank-2 talisman paper was not too different from alchemy. Even though Feitian Talisman Factory had specially made equipment for this, the materials consumed were several times more than that of Rank-1.


    On top of that, experienced papermakers needed to constantly monitor the pulp quality. Excessive or insufficient spiritual element additives would impact the quality of the final product.


    Feitian Talisman Factory, operating at full capacity, could produce about 10 sheets of Rank-2 Biyu talisman paper in a day.


    However, the same factory could produce 100 times that amount, or 1000 sheets a day, of Rank-1 premium talisman paper.


    In the Daoist Academy market, the price of Rank-2 talisman papers ranged from 500 to 5000 Good Deed Points, with top-quality Rank-2 talisman papers fetching prices almost comparable to Rank-3 talisman papers.¡¯


    Unfortunately, even when Wu Shangru himself oversaw the paper-making process, the highest quality of Biyu talisman paper ever produced was just of intermediate grade on the Rank-2 scale.


    Aside from the Biyu talisman paper, the other specialty of the Feitian Talisman Factory was a kind of talisman ink called ¡°Chixia.¡±


    Thanks to the abundant Danzhu Ling Sha resources in Red Sandstone City, it relied on its high-quality materials and successfully produced Rank-3 talisman ink at the Feitian Talisman Factory.


    Chen Mobai had already figured it out. Once the puppet factory was finished, it could work 24 hours a day without stopping. The equipment he paid a hefty sum for from Tiangong Equipment Factory could perfectly utilize the advantages of the puppets. It could produce Rank-1 talisman paper at a rate 10 times faster than the Feitian Talisman Factory.


    The downside was that it could only produce Rank-1 talisman papers and inks.


    So, from now on, the Feitian Talisman Factory would be in charge of the high-end, premium-quality Biyu talisman paper and Chixia talisman ink, while the puppet factory would channel all its might into generating Rank-1 talisman paper and ink. It would strive to snatch a portion of market share in the Tianhe Realm as well as the Daoist Academy.


    On this morning,


    Chen Mobai, who just finished meditating with a Spirit Stone in his hand, opened his eyes, and seeing that the spiritual energy in his Spirit Stone had depleted, he put it back into his storage bag.


    This thing was a Spiritual Extract, which could make both Qing Nu and Wang Xingyu jump for joy.


    He got up and pushed open the main door of the wooden house, which was located at the heart of the puppet factory, on a small hill where the Vermillion Fruit trees were cultivated.


    This place was uninhabitable for ordinary people. But since he directly pushed the Spirit Stone into his Pure Yang Daoist Body, there was no need to absorb the spiritual energy still tainted with fire poison here.


    In addition to his Pure Yang Daoist Body, the cultivation of his Five Elements Finger also only required applying ointment. He didn¡¯t slack off in exercising his Divine Sense either.


    The wooden house on the hill was naturally created from talismans.


    Wooden House Talismans were deemed essential for the Daoist Academy, being extremely useful in both the Tianhe Realm and here.


    Apart from his home, the one thing Chen Mobai was now most familiar with was the wooden house.


    Be it at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, atop Little South Mountain, or here, they were all identical.


    Upon stepping out of the wooden house, Chen Mobai looked towards the sky.


    Far above in the sky, there was a cloud of mist, tinged with green and red, visible yet elusive.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    This was the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± that had been refined further by Ming Yuhua.


    Earlier in the year, when Chen Mobai was keeping busy with the student council affairs at the Dance Tool Dao Academy and preparing for the Rank-2 Talisman Maker exam, he used his free time to ask Ming Yuhua to infuse the Clear Wind Evil into the artifact.


    The Red Misty Cloud Silk, after further refining, acquired an additional green aura to its original pale red hue hence turning into the current green and red misty clouds.


    Above the green and red misty clouds, a faint silhouette could be seen sitting down.


    It is a puppet which had reached the Golden Core Realm, powered by the energy from a premium-grade Spirit Stone.

 Chapter 584 - Chapter 584: Chapter 381: Return to Divine Wood Sect_2

    Chapter 584: Chapter 381: Return to Divine Wood Sect_2


    Deep in the distant void, an infinitesimal thread of Solar Essence dispersed, which, after being absorbed by the formless puppet upon the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, slowly fell towards here.


    Chen Mobai had already divided his mind into thoughts, entrusting them upon the formless puppet.


    Ever since he deduced the method of evolving the puppet to the Golden Core Realm and refining Pure Yang Purple Qi, he has tried several times, all ending in failure.


    In the previous attempts, either the Solar Essence took no notice, or it noticed but did not yield, or was influenced in the wrong direction.


    After several failures, the top-grade spirit stone energy he got from the Water Mansion was about to drop below 40%. If he failed this time, he planned to give it up for now.


    Fortunately, a thread of Solar Essence perfectly followed the puppet¡¯s attraction this time. From the starry space outside, it fell towards Red Sandstone City¡¯s poisoned land overhead.


    Just as Chen Mobai was concentrating all his thoughts on the puppet, the thread of falling Solar Essence, upon contact with the outermost atmosphere of Earth, seemed to be absorbed like a water droplet falling into a vast ocean, disappearing completely under his perception.


    [What is going on?]


    Chen Mobai was confused. After hesitating several times, he did not call Che Yucheng to ask about this.


    After all, once he brought up this matter, the top-grade Spirit Stone would definitely be revealed.


    Although the teacher was very good to him, top-grade Spirit Stones were considered strategic resources in the cultivation world; even a Gold Core Cultivator would need to apply to use them.


    He was indeed known as the top Foundation Establishment cultivator in the cultivation world, but the origin of the high-grade spirit stone was unexplainable.


    So, thinking it over, Chen Mobai decided to keep this to himself and suspended the refinement of Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    Then, with a thought, he moved with the formless puppet to the sky thousands of kilometers high, becoming a red and green swirling mist, like an exotic cloud, rapidly falling towards the ground.


    When it reached the airspace above the puppet factory, a faint red light shield emerged. This was set up by Yunyang Bing. It was a large formation that had formed after a thousand seedlings were planted. Though its power had not yet fully developed, it had basic defensive capabilities.


    Standing beside the Vermillion Fruit Tree, Chen Mobai waved his hand and a hole big enough for the formless puppet to pass through was opened in the protective shield covering the entire poisoned land.


    Chen Mobai watched the scene of the red mist falling from the sky through the formation in awe, a sudden spark igniting in his brain.


    He suddenly looked up at the sky.


    He seemed to be lost in thought.


    He thought of something: All the spiritual energy on the entire Earth, including the stellar lights from outside, were already suppressed and controlled by the sects. So was the Solar Essence drawn down by his formless puppet already absorbed and refined by the large formation that enveloped the whole star?¡±


    Just like if he, the controller of the formation, doesn¡¯t unseal it, the formless puppet would need to have the strength to break the whole formation to enter this poisoned land.


    The Solar Essence that he worked hard to attract while refining Pure Yang Purple Qi within the sect territory was immediately intercepted and refined by the sect¡¯s large formation upon its entry to Earth.


    Although it was just speculation, Chen Mobai, recalling the scene of the Solar Essence falling like water into the sea, felt that this should be the case.


    [I will test it out in the Eastern Wilderness to see if this is really the case.]


    All the spiritual energy on Earth, whether it is underground, from the sky, or in between, was suppressed and controlled by the sect.


    But Chen Mobai had another world for immortal cultivation with a sun.


    But this time, before he teleported, he made a trip to the warehouse of the puppet factory.


    A full one hundred thousand pieces of Rank-1 top-grade blank talismans were neatly stacked on shelves.


    This was the production of the puppet factory in ten days, equivalent to the quarterly production of the Flying Talisman Parchment Factory.


    With the endless supply of Red Sun Spirit Tree materials in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai did not hesitate to expend spirit lightning, maximizing the efficiency of this puppet factory.


    However, these talisman papers, lacking the certification of the spirit trees, would easily draw the attention of the market regulatory department if they suddenly began to circulate massively in the immortal door market.


    Chen Mobai was a patient man. He first released double the usual annual production of the Puppet Factory¡¯s talisman papers, and planned to sell the rest in the Eastern Wilderness.


    He took out twelve thousand talisman papers. Upon scanning them with his divine sense, he found that most of them were top-notch rank-1 specimens. About 2% were of the intermediate grade within rank-1, but there wasn¡¯t a single lower-grade one, also known as defect product.


    Apart from his Puppet Factory equipment being brand new, it was largely due to the abundant spiritual energy of the raw material from the Red Sun Spirit Tree, which naturally resulted in a higher quality paper pulp.


    When Chen Mobai was young and earning pocket money, the talisman papers he cut were defective products from the paper-making process of the Flying Sky Talisman Factory. These were usually purchased by students, and the lower-grade rank-1 talisman papers were perfectly suitable for beginners.


    These defect products were also staff benefits at the Flying Sky Talisman Factory. When Wu Shangru was the boss, he used to give them directly to the employees.


    Chen Mobai, carrying a storage bag filled with talisman papers, teleported to Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    Before long, the three disciples who had received his message of coming out of seclusion all arrived.


    ¡°Hmm, has there been anything major happening within the sect recently?¡±


    Standing in front of a wooden house, Chen Mobai asked about the situation with familiarity.


    ¡°Reporting to Master, there¡¯s nothing major. But a while ago, the Sect Leader led a team to visit Golden Cliff. He seemed to want to bring you, the sect¡¯s foremost Sword Cultivator too. However, when I mentioned you were in seclusion, he gave up on the idea.¡±


    The one speaking was Luo Yixuan.


    She represented Chen Mobai in the Sect and communicated with the other Foundation Establishment True Cultivators. Any correspondence that Chu Zuoshu sent to Xiao Nanshan on behalf of the Sect Leader, would, in Chen Mobai¡¯s absence due to seclusion, be forwarded to her.


    ¡°Golden Cliff! What a pity. If I had a chance to exchange ideas with the Sword Cultivators of that sect, my Sword Dao would definitely have greatly improved.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but regret a bit.


    As a Sect of the same lineage, every year the Divine Wood Sect would dispatch a group of Sword Cultivator disciples for an exchange to Golden Cliff. When Chen Mobai was still practicing Qi cultivation, he yearned for this opportunity.


    However, at that time, he intended to reach the Foundation Establishment first, and also he found the Eastern Wilderness quite dangerous and didn¡¯t want to venture out.


    As a result, he kept postponing this idea year after year. It was only after he became the chief disciple, then attained the Foundation Establishment, that he finally made up his mind to venture out.


    Although Chen Mobai is currently known in Eastern Wilderness as the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s foremost Sword Cultivator and even bears the title ¡°Second Sword of the Eastern Wilderness¡±, he himself knows that his Sword Dao cultivation is purely bullying people with his higher realm.


    Compared with the Sword Cultivators of Golden Cliff, who improved their Sword Dao Realm through constant battles and fights, he felt a little ashamed.


    When Chen Mobai now combats others, he simply uses the power of Sword Light or Sword Sha to overwhelm them. If he could make a trip to Golden Cliff, he was confident that it would certainly address the shortcomings in his technique.


    ¡°Master, there¡¯s another matter ¨C you are already the town guard of Jian Country this year. Theoretically, you should visit the five Fang Markets in person.¡±


    Liu Wenbo, the eldest disciple, reminded him.


    ¡°Hmm, I came out of seclusion this time exactly because of this matter. I have already delayed it for nearly three months, and spring is almost over. If I delay it any longer, it would not be proper.¡±

    Chen Mobai initially planned to take some time at the beginning of the year to inspect the markets. After getting acquainted with the leaders of the various Immortal Cultivation families, he had planned to hand over this responsibility to Liu Wenbo.


    However, the matter of the Puppet Factory turned out to be more complicated than he expected. In addition to the Daoist Academy and the Rank-2 Talisman Maker¡¯s examination, everything got delayed until now.


    But now seemed to be the perfect time.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, divide these talisman papers into bundles of 12 each.¡±


    Zhuo Ming stared blankly at the heap of high-quality talisman papers Chen Mobai pulled out of his storage bag.

 Chapter 585 - Chapter 585: Chapter 382: Immortal Peach, Spiritual Tea_1

    Chapter 585: Chapter 382: Immortal Peach, Spiritual Tea_1


    At Black Cloud Mountain, Yuan Hongyuan opened his eyes, seated beneath the Immortal Peach tree.


    A message talisman descended, which he caught in his outstretched hand.


    After reading the message, a look of hesitation appeared on his face, but in the end, he made up his mind.


    ¡°So, the time has finally come!¡±


    Yuan Hongyuan muttered to himself, getting up from his seat.


    Ever since obtaining the Huangquan Holy Fruit, he had been waiting for the order to assassinate Chen Guixian from the organization.


    This wait lasted half a year.


    ¡°Ancestor, we have arranged for the key disciples in the clan, who possess Spiritual Roots, to be dispatched in batches to the territories of the other six major sects.¡±


    The clan head of the Yuan family, Yuan Shaoyuan, promptly reported the situation from atop Black Cloud Mountain after receiving the order.


    ¡°Very good. If we all shift out, we will certainly draw the attention of the Divine Wood Sect and the other cultivating families. You and Little Si take a group of people to the White Moon Market to connect with the organization¡¯s members in advance and arrange the assassination plan and formation.¡±


    In the face of the imminent battle, Yuan Hongyuan felt surprisingly peaceful. He disclosed the location of the ambush to Yuan Shaoyuan, and then turned to look at the Rank-3 Immortal Peach Spirit Tree behind him. With a wave of his hand, he plucked off all the fruit on it, more than a dozen in total.


    ¡°Take these with you and announce that I have made a breakthrough and would wish to exchange them for the Bai family¡¯s Snow Needle Immortal Buds to enhance my state of divine sense.¡±


    ¡°Yes, ancestor.¡±


    Yuan Shaoyuan took the three peaches handed to him by Yuan Hongyuan, his hands trembling slightly.


    These could be considered the most precious items of the Yuan family since Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s Foundation Establishment a hundred years ago.


    A hundred years ago, the Yuan family seized this land of Spirit Veins from the declining Liu family. But to ensure the Immortal Peach Spirit Tree wasn¡¯t broken by the Liu family, Yuan Hongyuan not only let go of the Liu family¡¯s descendants but even allowed them to take away all the mature spiritual medicines from the mountain¡¯s medicinal fields.


    That¡¯s because the Immortal Peach Spirit Tree was simply too precious.


    If it were to be broken, firstly, the rank-3 Spirit Vein on Black Cloud Mountain would fall, and secondly, the rank-3 Immortal Peaches produced by this Spirit Tree are renowned Spirit Fruits in the Eastern Wilderness.


    If consumed by a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, each one could directly increase their Liquid Spiritual Power by 20 droplets, saving them years of laborious meditation.


    These Rank-3 Immortal Peaches were essentially regarded as Rank-3 spiritual medicines, and moreover, they were pure and natural without any Danless Poison, each one being worth thousands of spirit stones.


    However, although the fruit was good, only when consuming the first one would it provide all of its spiritual effects.


    Upon consuming the second, the effect would be halved; by the third, the effect would be half of the second.


    After consuming five, these Rank-3 Immortal Peaches would become useless to the cultivator.


    Further consumption would merely satisfy one¡¯s palate.


    Yuan Hongyuan had long consumed five peaches, and among the descendants of the Yuan family, there were no other cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, so the fruits of this Immortal Peach Spirit Tree have been left untouched for the past hundred years.


    Of course, if other cultivators wanted to exchange precious items for them, the Yuan family would be more than happy to oblige.


    Just awhile ago, the ancestor of Bai family, one of Jian Country¡¯s seven cultivating families, had previously exchanged their rare spiritual tea for three Immortal Peaches. A few years ago, someone in Bai family had successfully completed their Foundation Establishment. The ancestor of Bai family thought to exchange for three more peaches to increase the cultivation level of the junior members.


    However, Yuan Hongyuan was busy with his own cultivation breakthrough and had not paid any attention to the matter.


    Now, it seemed like a good time to raise the issue as an excuse to head to White Moon Market.


    Yuan Hongyuan knew that family cultivators like them who were at the stage of Foundation Establishment were actually under observation by the Divine Wood Sect. As someone who usually held secluded cultivation sessions, leaving Black Cloud Mountain would easily draw attention.


    However, after this planned assassination, the Yuan family wouldn¡¯t be able to remain in Jian Country.


    So, Yuan Hongyuan straightaway plucked all the fruit from the Immortal Peach Spirit Tree, regardless of whether they were mature or not.


    However, he still couldn¡¯t bring himself to cut down the Spirit Tree.


    After all, if the Divine Wood Sect were to be destroyed in the future, his Yuan family might still have the chance to come back here.


    ¡­


    After Chen Mobai ended his closed-door cultivation, he made his three disciples lead the commoners farming below South Mountain in dividing up the talisman papers, while he took control of the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and shot into the sky.


    Dividing his mind into thoughts, he dropped into his puppet. He first glanced at the spiritual energy bar on the top-right corner of his vision, which now showed only 39% remaining.


    If it were any other immortal cultivator, they¡¯d be incredibly distressed by this point, and even hesitant to proceed with the experiment.


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mind. He had been jumping between two worlds for many years now and had managed to replace the concept of the preciousness of spirit stones in his mind.


    As the spiritual energy bar quickly decreased by 3%, the numbers in the eyes of the puppetry technique¡¯s peak product jumped to ¡°nine¡± simultaneously in a split second. Then, an energy current representative of a Gold Core, albeit a hundred times smaller, burst from the puppet¡¯s forehead.


    However, under Chen Mobai¡¯s control, this energy concentrated and rushed straight into the sky.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As the sun in Tianhe Realm differed from the one back on Earth, Chen Mobai needed to re-explore the frequency to attract and absorb solar essence.


    Two days later, when the puppet¡¯s spiritual energy bar was almost below 30%, finally a wisp of solar essence was drawn down. After passing through the earth fetal membrane of Tianhe Realm, it transformed into Big Sun Purple Gas.


    Seeing the purple gas in front of him, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but show a pleased expression. However, this was just the first step. Whether he could successfully refine Pure Yang Purple Gas depended on the puppet¡¯s performance.


    Under his divine sense¡¯s urging, this masterpiece of immortal cultivation¡¯s puppetry technique began to slowly circulate the spiritual power modeled in the puppet¡¯s Dantian and Qi Sea to move it outside the body.


    Although its size was reduced by a hundred times, it was indeed a real Pure Yang Spiritual Power at the Golden Core Stage. And it was more than sufficient for refining Pure Yang Purple Gas.

 Chapter 586 - Chapter 586: Chapter 382: Immortal Peach, Spiritual Tea_2

    Chapter 586: Chapter 382: Immortal Peach, Spiritual Tea_2


    Chen Mobai slowly fused his Pure Yang Spiritual Power with Big Sun Purple Gas, and after nearly an hour, he finally completed the harmonization.


    Looking at the shimmering purple glow in his palm, a smile emerged on his slightly tired face.


    Although this Pure Yang Purple Gas still needs to be constantly refined through the Flame Lighting Technique in order to adapt to his physical body, at least he has already saved time in advance.


    If the Immortal Gate indeed requires him to endure sixty years of hard work, then this time can be used to refine a complete Pure Yang Purple Gas using the No-Phase Puppet.


    Although the Pure Yang Purple Gas only contributes ten percent to the breakthrough of the major realm, it is at least equivalent to a Five Elements Gold Core Pill.


    A delighted Chen Mobai rooted around in his storage bag and found the jade box he used to store Rank-3 herbs. He placed the strand of Pure Yang Purple Gas into it, and just as he was about to seal it shut-


    Crack!


    The jade box fractured from the middle and spread outwards, finally shattering into jade fragments.


    Chen Mobai looked at the strand of Pure Yang Purple Gas that had escaped from the confines of the jade box and fell deep into thought.


    The original form of this object is the explosive Solar Essence from outside the world. Although it had been softened by the Earth¡¯s Fetal Membrane when it fell into the Tianhe Realm, its essence is still an energy of extreme yang and hardiness.


    Jade is of a cold nature and while it is very effective for storing herbs, it has the opposite effect on Pure Yang Purple Gas.


    After understanding this, Chen Mobai rummaged through his storage bag once more yet he couldn¡¯t find a single suitable item.


    After hesitating slightly, he took out the Yellow Skin Gourd from his waist.


    Inside it contained a Primordial Yang Sword Evil that he had re-condensed.


    As a Fire Spirit Body, he can actually absorb the Primordial Yang Sword Evil into his own body, however, since there is already Green Flames Sword Slaughter in his Dantian Qi Sea, he was worried the two types of Sword Sha would conflict.


    Moreover, whether this Yellow Skin Gourd could withstand Pure Yang Purple Gas was still a question.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to toss this strand of Pure Yang Purple Gas inside, he suddenly remembered that he had a better item definitely capable of withstanding Pure Yang Purple Gas on his person.


    He spat out the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and it appeared in front of him.


    Once the strand of Pure Yang Purple Gas went into the mirror and dyed it a faint purple, the Rank-3 Magic Artifact took it in without any rejection like the jade box had.


    With a face full of satisfaction, Chen Mobai descended onto the peak of Xiao Nanshan.


    His three disciples had gone down the mountain with twelve thousand talisman papers, leaving only him here.


    He left the No-Phase Puppet here and cast his Divine Sense into it, preparing to control it in the coming days to condense Pure Yang Purple Gas daily.


    However, this brought up another problem; won¡¯t he have to leave the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror here too?


    This artifact was now one of his trump cards. In a dangerous place like the Eastern Wasteland, it would be best to take it with him even when patrolling within sect territory.


    After some contemplation, Chen Mobai took out the strand of Pure Yang Purple Gas from the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror. He then opened the lid of the Yellow Skin Gourd and let the Primordial Yang Sword Sha float out entirely.


    Using his Divine Sense, he carefully guided the Pure Yang Purple Gas into the empty Yellow Skin Gourd.


    His expression a little tense, the Yellow Skin Gourd really did withstand it without any fluctuations.


    ¡°This thing should at least be a Rank-2 Spiritual Object, no wonder it was used to store Rank-2 Evil Qi.¡±


    Looking at the Yellow Skin Gourd which he had gotten from a Loose Cultivator in Rolling Thunder Mountain, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    He recalled that Yue Zutao also had one and wondered if it he could buy it from him to use.


    Yue Zutao likely didn¡¯t have much use for it, right?


    Thinking this, Chen Mobai carefully absorbed the suspended Primordial Yang Sword Sha into his own Qi Sea, using the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror to isolate it from the Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    However, having an additional thing within his body felt a bit strange.


    Moreover, because he hadn¡¯t cultivated the Primordial Yang Sword Secret, this power felt slightly incompatible with his body.


    But, soon after, Chen Mobai got some good news from Luo Yixuan.


    Apparently, Yue Zutao had returned to the sect.


    ¡°At the beginning of the year, Elder Uncle Zhou Wangshen cultivated the Taoist Body of Longevity, breaking through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment; he then confidently emerged from his seclusion,¡±


    ¡°Elder Uncle Zhou was initially the Town Guard of Lei Nation, but due to the factor of Elder Ancestor Zhou¡¯s seclusion, he did not even participate in the major battle with Mountain Shaker Peak. Many within the sect had quite a few criticisms of him.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, after his emergence, he did not even celebrate but instantly hastened to the Lei Nation to fulfill his duty as the Town Guard.¡±


    Yue Zutao had merely been there to substitute as the Town Guard. As soon as Zhou Wangshen arrived, he was relieved of his duties.¡±


    Even though the war between the two sects had ended, but the hatred with Mountain Shaker Peak had been formed. The number of cultivators who had died or been injured on the borders of Lei Nation this very year were quite numerous, including a few mysteriously disappeared disciples from the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    Without much thought, it can be concluded that the odds were relatively grim.¡±


    These matters could not be directly ascribed to Mountain Shaker Peak, there were not only no direct pieces of evidence. There were also many rogue cultivators who took advantage of the friction between the two sects, hiding within the borders, hunting disciples from both sects and blaming their deeds on each other.¡±


    Even though Yue Zutao had fiercely killed quite a few, the Eastern Wasteland was never short on rogue cultivators.¡±


    How could a loose cultivator gain resources without plundering others?¡±


    After all, many rogue cultivators did not have the inheritance of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal and could only rely on plundering as a method.¡±


    After the emergence of Zhou Wangshen, his attitude of facing difficulty head-on saved some face for the Sect.¡±


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, after my return, I heard that you were in seclusion and did not wish to disturb you.¡±


    At Yue Zutao¡¯s courtyard in Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai was sitting with him, drinking tea.¡±


    ¡°Have a taste; this was bestowed by the Sect Leader.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally brought two jars of good wine upon his arrival, but since Yue Zutao had already brewed a pot of tea, they didn¡¯t switch to the wine.¡±


    The color of the tea soup was apricot yellow, and the color of the green buds within the teacup were silver-white. They stood within the tea like thin needles. The buds were covered with white fluff, and a light shake emitted glimmers of silver light. A clear aroma pierced the nostrils, making his mind clear of worldly matters.¡±


    Another sip left a fragrant taste on his lips and teeth. As it entered his stomach, it seemed as if all the restlessness in his heart was brushed away, leaving only clarity and purity.¡±


    ¡°What wonderful tea!¡±


    Chen Mobai, after drinking it, opened his eyes and felt that his Divine Sense had risen slightly.¡±


    Knowing that his Divine Sense Realm was already at the peak of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, he had spent this half a year trying hard to break through, but was unable to overcome this bottleneck. Perhaps he hadn¡¯t sufficiently accumulated experience, or the opportunity for a breakthrough hadn¡¯t arrived yet.¡±


    But after drinking this tea today, he felt that his Divine Sense Realm, which hadn¡¯t improved in a long time, was starting to fluctuate, which surprised him slightly.¡±


    Maybe he could use this spiritual tea to breakthrough?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the origin of this tea? Is it cultivated within our sect?¡±


    Yue Zutao shook his head indicating the tea did not originate from the Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the ¡®Snow Needle Immortal Bud¡¯ spiritual tea from the Bai family of the Snow Peak. Their family has three thousand-year-old tea trees. Drinking this type of spiritual tea can enhance one¡¯s Divine Sense Realm, and it even has a short-term effect on boosting one¡¯s understanding.¡±


    ¡°Half of the Snow Needle Immortal Buds harvested from the three thousand-year-old tea trees of the Bai family of the Snow Peak are, every year, offered as a tribute to our two elder ancestors from the Divine Wood Sect. This year, since the Sect Leader just assumed his position, they also presented two ounces of tea leaves.¡±


    ¡°I have made some contributions in guarding the Lei Nation this time, and the Sect Leader gifted me half an ounce to taste.¡±


    It was fortunate that Chen Mobai had come at the right time. The pot of tea brewed today was the last of Yue Zutao¡¯s Snow Needle Immortal Bud supplies. After this there would be none left.¡±


    ¡°If this tea tree is so miraculous, why doesn¡¯t the sect collect tea seeds and cultivate them on the Giant Tree Ridge?¡±


    ¡°We have tried, but these tea seeds are not compatible with the spiritual energy of the earth veins within the sect. The head of the Spirit Plant Department personally cared for them for a year but could not keep them alive.¡±

    Yue Zutao said regretfully. Although his cultivation level was locked by the Tree Fruit of Longevity, his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion that was related to his Divine Sense Realm could be normally enhanced and broken through. Hence, he paid special attention to elixirs related to Divine Sense.¡±


    He had tasted this Snow Needle Immortal Bud several times in the past and even bought and cultivated tea seeds from the Bai family of Snow Peak, but the outcome was the same as when the Spirit Plant Department transplantation.¡±


    ¡°I applied to the sect for a survey of the five major markets in Jian Country. I¡¯m also quite interested in this Snow Needle Immortal Bud. I¡¯ll buy a tea tree species and try to see if it can survive on Xiao Nanshan.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of the unused Large Tung Flower Root Stem he had.¡±


    This thing could just be used to graft the tea species.¡±

 Chapter 587 - Chapter 587: Chapter 383: Yuhu Market_1

    Chapter 587: Chapter 383: Yuhu Market_1


    After chatting with Yue Zutao for a while, Chen Mobai mentioned the matter of the Yellow Skin Gourd.


    ¡°If you need it, brother, you can take it,¡± Yue Zutao said.


    Yue had long since refined the Mysterious Yin Sha inside the gourd into God Thunderbolts. If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t spoken about it, he would have completely forgotten about this gourd, which he usually kept at the bottom of his storage bag.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Yue,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    He set down the two jars of wine, picked up the Yellow Skin Gourd, and made his excuses to leave.


    ¡°The Wang family of Tiankui was left behind by a deceased senior brother of mine. Now that you¡¯re the town guard of Jian Country, I ask that you please look after them,¡± Yue Zutao said, just before Chen Mobai left.


    ¡°Of course,¡± said Chen Mobai, recalling the history of the Wang family after a brief thought.


    Liu Ruzhong, the previous Town Guard, had once told him about the Wang family¡¯s lineage. The Wang family were the descendants of Jojo Ou¡¯s disciple, and Chu Zuoshu was also one of Jojo Ou¡¯s disciples, which matched up perfectly with what Yue Zutao just said.


    After leaving Yue Zutao, Chen Mobai went to the Reward Virtue Hall to receive the order from the sect allowing him to leave.


    In the Divine Wood Sect, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator wanted to leave the sect when not on a mission, they would have to report to their respective hall and then have the case reported up to the Shenmu Hall.


    Once the order from the Shenmu Hall was approved, it would be sent back to the Reward Virtue Hall.


    ¡°The Luo family of Huanbo Market is my own family, with the current head being my younger brother. I ask that you take good care of them in the next ten years,¡± Luo Xue¡¯er, the acting hall master of the Reward Virtue Hall, said with a smile after exchanging a few words with Chen Mobai.


    Coming out of the Reward Virtue Hall, Chen Mobai deeply understood the meaning of what Liu Ruzhong had said before.


    All seven large families of Jian Country had deep-rooted relationships with the Divine Wood Sect. Even though he was representing the Divine Wood Sect, he would have to be extremely careful in dealing with them.


    However, Chen Mobai had no intention of extorting resources from the cultivator families of Jian Country, so he just needed to abide by the rules and consider the Divine Wood Sect as his backing.


    Chu Zuoshu had taken a group of people to Golden Cliff, so Chen Mobai didn¡¯t stay in the Divine Wood City for long and immediately returned to Xiao Nanshan.


    The Shenmu Hall directly managed two departments: the Transmission Department and the Witchcraft Department.


    The Transmission Department was responsible for all clerical work in the sect, such as maintaining the Book Pavilion where the Cultivation Techniques and the Hundred Arts of the Cultivation Immortal are kept.


    When Chen Mobai¡¯s application to leave the sect and inspect the five markets of Jian Country had been stamped by the Reward Virtue Hall and the Shenmu Hall, a copy of it was delivered to the Transmission Department.


    After checking the document, a cultivator named Du Feng with an average appearance nodded and handed it to a Qi Practitioner who put it on a shelf in the order of the date.


    At the end of the day, Du Feng left the department and returned to his rented house. He carefully set up a Protective Array and then took out a special Talisman paper, on which he wrote down all the details about Chen Mobai¡¯s trip.


    After writing, Du Feng burned the piece of talisman paper.


    In a Cave Dwelling on a small Spirit Vein outside the Giant Tree Ridge, a cultivator who was currently meditating with a Spirit Stone suddenly opened his eyes. He picked up one of the weirdly patterned talisman papers on the stone table which was blank in the middle.


    He injected his Spiritual Power into it and, in a manner akin to a magic trick, the content that Du Feng had written on the paper he burned appeared in the blank part of the talisman paper.


    ¡°Finally, it¡¯s here,¡± said the cultivator who had been waiting here for almost a year. His voice was excited.


    Using the same method, he burnt the paper and sent the content to the person in charge of Huangquan in Yuhu Market.


    It didn¡¯t take long for all the Foundation Establishment cultivators involved in the ambush plan to learn about Chen Mobai¡¯s trip.


    After a final check of his five black Array Flags and sensing the roaring Spiritual Power within his body, Yuan Hongyuan confidently walked down from Black Cloud Mountain.


    ¡­


    ¡°Master, the quality of these talisman papers is almost reaching Rank-2,¡± said Zhuo Ming, a Talisman Maker, as she looked at the bound Talisman papers brought by three disciples.


    ¡°You three can each take ten bundles for your personal use,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    On hearing this, Zhuo Ming immediately took his words ungraciously.


    Luo Yixuan and Liu Wenbo, who came from a family background and devoted themselves to improving their Cultivation Levels instead of learning Talisman-making, were startled because the talisman papers were of no use to them.


    ¡°Sister Zhuo, you can take mine,¡± said Luo Yixuan smartly, immediately giving her ten bundles of talisman papers to Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    ¡°Just take it, sister. We don¡¯t know how to make talismans,¡± Liu Wenbo also said. Zhuo Ming glanced at Chen Mobai and, seeing that he had no objections, happily put them into her storage bag.


    ¡°Ming, take an additional hundred bundles. They will be sold in the Xiao Nanshan Shop in the future.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After the three disciples had taken their share, Chen Mobai suddenly gave a piece of good news to Zhuo Ming, making her overjoyed.


    Although the talisman papers were not hers, having them in her storage bag still made her, a Talisman Maker, feel extraordinarily fulfilled.


    ¡°Master, how should we price these talisman papers?¡± asked Zhuo Ming, touching the tough, delicate, and clean talisman papers with smooth Spiritual Power transmission.


    ¡°The same as the market price, one Spirit Stone for a bundle,¡± Chen Mobai replied.


    Hearing what Chen Mobai said, Zhuo Ming looked up at him in surprise.

 Chapter 588 - Chapter 588: Chapter 383: Yuhu Market_2

    Chapter 588: Chapter 383: Yuhu Market_2


    ¡°Master, these beautiful talisman papers must take a lot of effort to refine. Shouldn¡¯t we name a price?¡±


    As a talisman maker herself, Zhuo Ming once worked in a small talisman workshop with her father during her childhood. There, they produced the lowest-grade talisman papers circulated amongst loose cultivators. The papers were dull yellow in color, and you could even see unprocessed tree bark in the paper, signifying their poor quality.


    A slightly more advanced talisman maker who could refine middle and upper-level Rank-1 talisman papers would usually opt to buy spiritual objects to serve as talisman paper substitutes, like bamboo slices, Lingye, or beast skins.


    Even though these substitutes require soaking in specific medicinal solutions, they can ensure smooth transmission of spiritual power and stable solidification of spells.


    Zhuo Ming also once assisted her father in making beast skin talisman papers. It was a strenuous process, taking at least ten days or half a month to successfully produce a single sheet.


    At present, the stack of talisman papers in her hand seemed to be of even higher quality than the best beast skin paper she had ever created. She thought they¡¯d be sold for at least two spirit stones a dozen.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not be too unreasonable to our fellow talisman paper businesses within the sect. We should stick to market pricing,¡±


    Chen Mobai made a somewhat cryptic statement, which left Zhuo Ming puzzled, though Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan seemed to have gained some insights.


    None of his three disciples asked where these talisman papers originated from.


    ¡°Wen Bo, get ready. Tomorrow, you will accompany your master on a tour of the five major markets of the Founding Nation.¡±


    ¡°Yes, master.¡±


    Liu Wenbo had been anxiously waiting for this day.


    ¡°Master, since I don¡¯t have much to do either, why don¡¯t I accompany you and elder brother?¡±


    At this moment, Luo Yixuan chimed in. After thinking for a bit, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.


    This trip was primarily to set the distribution channels for his talisman paper and ink. Liu Wenbo alone might not be able to manage it all in the future, so bringing along a clever disciple could be beneficial.


    Zhuo Ming also appeared intrigued. After arriving at the Divine Wood Sect from Southstream Market with Chen Mobai, she had not stepped out of the Giant Tree Ridge, which made her yearn.


    She had spent four demanding years, but after being accepted by Xiao Nanshan, she was extremely content and felt a sense of happiness she would only dare dream of.


    ¡°Ming, you stay home.¡±


    ¡°Yes, master.¡±


    Zhuo Ming earnestly nodded her head, but she felt a hint of embarrassment in her heart. She blamed her lack of skills in magic duels and her dull social skills. In the future, she pledged to correct these weaknesses and share her master¡¯s worries and difficulties, just like her senior and junior disciples.


    The next day.


    When Chen Mobai descended the mountain, Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan were already waiting for him at the mountain¡¯s base.


    Zhuo Ming was also present, dressed in coarse linen clothes and a woven bamboo basket tied around her waist, filled with an assortment of farming tools. After sending her master and fellow disciples off, she planned to head to the spirit fields to check on the young seedlings, which she had sown at the beginning of spring.


    ¡°I¡¯m leaving everything in your hands. If something arises that you can¡¯t solve, look for Brother Yue in Divine Wood City.¡±


    After instructing Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai, on his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, took his two disciples and flew out of the Giant Tree Ridge.


    Their first stop was Yuhu Market, closest to the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Before I achieved the Foundation Establishment, I left the sect and went west. I initially intended to return to my hometown in Yun Country. However, during my journey, experiencing the beauty of nature gave me further insight. I ended up renting a cave dwelling in Yuhu Market and consumed a Foundation Building Pill, successfully establishing my foundation,¡± Chen Mobai, while pointing at the Yuhu Market below, began repeating the same words he used to tell scholars E Yun and Yuan Chiye.


    ¡°Master¡¯s talent is indeed miraculous. We¡¯re nothing compared to you.¡±


    Liu Wenbo sighed from the bottom of his heart, while Luo Yixuan looked on with admiration.


    Feeling somewhat awkward, Chen Mobai let out an embarrassed chuckle and guided the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± down.


    At the entrance of the market, several loose cultivators and Qi practitioners acting as guides milled around, but they all showed respect and avoided Chen Mobai as he descended from the sky.


    As everyone knew, the only cultivators capable of flying were at the Foundation Establishment level.


    Such characters were not something these Qi practitioners could even approach.


    Furthermore, the three disciples under Chen Mobai were extraordinary in terms of appearance and temperament. Luo Yixuan was especially enchanting, which clearly indicated that they were from a powerful and large sect.


    The survival rule widely circulated among the Loose Cultivators states that it¡¯s best to keep a respectful distance when encountering such important figures to avoid unnecessary trouble.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, if I¡¯m not mistaken, our sect¡¯s administrator has a shop in the center of the market.¡±


    Chen Mobai, recalling his previous experience at Yuhu Market, led his two disciples towards the highest three-story building in the Fang Market.


    ¡°Greetings, Town Guard.¡±


    In the Fang Market, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s administrator named Pang Guangmin, a Qi Practitioner at the ninth level, was now a subordinate of Chen Mobai.


    In the coming ten years, all disciples of the Divine Wood Sect in the five major markets of the Founding Nation would fall under Chen Mobai¡¯s command.


    ¡°How many of our sect¡¯s disciples are there in the Market?¡±


    ¡°Twenty-seven.¡±


    ¡°What about the properties?¡±


    ¡°Out of Yuhu Market¡¯s thirty-six shops, our sect controls twelve. Four are used by the sect while eight are rented out at a rate of one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones each. In addition to the shops, there are forty-eight Rank-1 cave dwellings and twenty-four Rank-2 cave dwellings atop the Market¡¯s Spirit Vein, all of which belong to the sect and can bring in about eight hundred Spirit Stones a year. Moreover, the Large Formation protecting the Market is maintained by our sect, and the shops in the Market pay us three hundred and sixty Spirit Stones annually as maintenance fees.¡±


    Pang Guangmin is a pragmatic person, completely familiar with the sect¡¯s assets in Yuhu Market.


    ¡°According to this, our sect can earn more than two thousand Spirit Stones from this market annually.¡±


    Chen Mobai mentally calculated and roughly estimated this income.


    ¡°Town Guard, when Guard Liu went back to report at the end of last year, the total income on the report I made was 4,587 Spirit Stones.¡±


    Pang Guangmin said this cautiously, as he didn¡¯t know whether Liu Ruzhong would eventually report this income truthfully to the sect.


    ¡°Wen Bo.¡±


    Chen Mobai called to his senior disciple. Recently, he had been busy with the puppet factory and had tasked Wen Bo with reviewing various sect materials in the Merit Transmission Department, which the Town Guard of Founding Nation could peruse.


    ¡°Master, the numbers are almost correct.¡±


    With outsiders present, Wen Bo spoke in a more tactful manner. Chen Mobai, understanding his meaning, nodded and didn¡¯t say much more.


    Pang Guangmin, however, was sweating coldly.


    ¡°Master, as for the income of the industries in the Market mentioned by Pang here, since it is fixed, there is less likely to be any discrepancy in accounting. However, in shops run by the sect itself, it¡¯s much easier to be creative with the accounts.¡±


    Luo Yixuan, with a teasing gaze, looked towards the continuously sweating Pang Guangmin. Before joining the Divine Wood Sect, she had spent a few years in Yun Country¡¯s Market and had some knowledge about such matters.


    ¡°Town Guard, I have kept records of the accounts for the sixteen years since my arrival. If you want to check them, I can bring them to you.¡±


    Pang Guangmin didn¡¯t hesitate at all and immediately started to prove his innocence.


    ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary. After all, these things happened during Brother Liu¡¯s term. If I were to investigate them, wouldn¡¯t it be unsettling for the previous Town Guards?¡±


    There were not only Liu Ruzhong among the Town Guards of the Founding Nation, and as the Divine Wood Sect was based here, every Town Guard had a profound background. Chen Mobai sure didn¡¯t want to make enemies with these people.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the sect¡¯s shops. By the way, the eight shops would still be unrented if I hadn¡¯t come this year, correct?¡±


    As Chen Mobai walked and asked, Pang Guangmin immediately followed him and quickly replied.

    ¡°Town Guard, the sect¡¯s rules state that if cultivators who rented the shops the previous year wish to continue and their business doesn¡¯t harm the sect¡¯s reputation, they are allowed to renew the lease.¡±


    ¡°Then, could you arrange a shop for me if I want to lease one this year?¡±


    Pang Guangmin¡¯s forehead was covered in more sweat at Chen Mobai¡¯s words. Those who could rent the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s shops were no small figures. They were either from cultivation families or from the merchant powers of the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°If the Town Guard wants it, I can arrange a shop right away.¡±


    Being faced with his superior¡¯s demand, Pang Guangmin only hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and agreeing.

 Chapter 589 - Chapter 589: Chapter 384 Eastern Region Six Territories_1

    Chapter 589: Chapter 384 Eastern Region Six Territories_1


    The cultivators markets in the Eastern Wilderness generally adopt a form of semi-autonomous governance.


    Since the Divine Wood Sect was a breakaway from the Five Elements Sect, all the forces under its jurisdiction in the four countries originally belonged to the Five Elements Sect. However, in order to gain support of the local cultivation families in the four countries, the Divine Wood Sect yielded the management rights of these markets to cultivation families from the start of their separation.


    Thus, in the first few decades after the separation, these cultivation families in the four countries, even those who had not contributed to the Divine Wood Sect, at least remained silent.


    Those who were restless and harbored ulterior motives were either cleansed or fled.


    For instance, the Silver Sky Sect, where Yu Lian used to be, is an example of the expelled ones.


    Once the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Golden Cliff had reconciled with the Five Elements Sect, the cultivation families that had contributed before naturally obtained the management rights of these markets.


    Among them, Yuhu Market came under the jurisdiction of the Fu family.


    The news that Chen Mobai had arrived at the market quickly reached the Fu family.


    An hour later, Fu Xiuzuo, the head of the Fu family, arrived in person.


    ¡°Greetings, Town Guard.¡±


    Fu Xiuzuo, a cultured and refined middle-aged man with a neat and dense black beard, appeared quite rustic.


    ¡°Chairman Fu, you¡¯re too polite. We should simply call each other as fellow brothers.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that this man was the nephew of Elder Fu and was formerly a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, the Fu family had suffered heavy losses in the fight with the Five Elements Sect, all three Foundation Establishment cultivators died in battle, so Elder Fu had Fu Xiuzuo leave the sect and return to the family to recover.


    ¡°Brother Chen.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Fu Xiuzuo quickly adjusted his address with a smile.


    The two men greeted each other on the street of the market. The shopkeepers on both sides all recognized Fu Xiuzuo, the head of Fu family. They were taken aback to see him hurry over.


    Knowing that when the former Town Guard Liu Ruzhong first took office, Fu Xiuzuo didn¡¯t show such respect, and it was Liu Ruzhong who had visited the Fu family to greet him instead.


    Who on earth is the new Town Guard of the Divine Wood Sect?


    The cultivators in Yuhu Market who had seen this scene showed varying expressions, beginning to inquire about Chen Mobai¡¯s background.


    After a while, they got the information from the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Unexpected, it¡¯s actually him!¡±


    ¡°The number-one Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Guixian!¡±


    ¡°I heard that his combat power is second only to the two elders in the Divine Wood Sect. We thought it was an exaggeration, but it seems like he lives up to his fame.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that the Divine Wood Sect is really going to rise? It¡¯s rumored that the former sect leader, Meng Hong, is going for Core Formation. With Chen Guixian, Hong He and other young geniuses of Foundation Establishment, there¡¯s a possibility of them taking over the Five Elements Sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai and Fu Xiuzuo naturally heard these rumors, but they just exchanged smiles. At Fu Xiuzuo¡¯s invitation, they went to the Sky Meal Building in Yuhu Market.


    Sky Meal Building is a well-known establishment claiming to cultivate Qi by eating, swallowing all kinds of spiritual delicacies, and refining a pure Qi in one¡¯s body.


    However, the headquarters of the Sky Meal Building is not in the Eastern Wilderness but located in the distant Eastern Earth Region.


    In recent years, Chen Mobai has come to understand the general situation of the location of the Eastern Wilderness.


    Cultivators collectively call this place the Eastern Region.


    The Eastern Region is divided into six territories: Eastern Wilderness, Eastern Yi, Eastern Wu, East Yu, Eastern Earth, and East Li.


    Among these, the Eastern Wilderness is located in a remote place and is considered ¡°poor¡± in cultivation resources.


    The region adjacent to the Eastern Wilderness is the Eastern Yi Territory.


    Actually, the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness had to migrate here because they couldn¡¯t survive in the Eastern Yi Territory.


    There are three major sects in the Eastern Yi Territory: Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, Kong Sang Valley, and Sun Bathing Sea.


    All of them are major forces with Nascent Soul Cultivators in charge, their influence radiating throughout the six territories of the Eastern Region, and they are also quite famous in the Eastern Earth Region.


    In the past, when the Founder of Hun Yuan was still there, Five Elements Sect had a good relationship with the Sun Bathing Sea and was considered a major force.


    Moreover, the Eastern Wu Territory is also adjacent to the Eastern Wilderness, as the boundary between the two is the Yunmeng Great Marsh. Once you cross this Thousands of Water Ponds created by Yuanlijen in the marsh, you reach the realm of Eastern Wu.


    The cultivation sects in Eastern Wu Territory are declining, all being dominated by major cultivation families who occupy the veins of spiritual mines. Among them, the most famous is the Huangwu Sun Clan. It has produced Nascent Soul Cultivators and once ruled the cultivation royal family of Eastern Wu.


    However, the Nascent Soul patriarch of this Huangwu Sun Clan was about the same age as the Founder of Hun Yuan. He also passed away twenty years ago, so the Eastern Wilderness and Eastern Wu have been ¡®unsmiling brothers¡¯ these years. Although they both want to monopolize the abundant resources of Yunmeng Great Marsh, they maintain restraint until they have absolute assurance.

    The two regions mutually recognized the seal of the town in the middle of Yunmeng Great Marsh as the boundary, and tacitly refrained from interfering with each other.


    If you go beyond the Eastern Yi Territory, you will reach East Yu Territory, which is an endless mountain range that is said to be infinite. The cultivators there regard each mountain as a star falling from the sky. There is a superpower called the Star Heaven Dao Sect that rules over it. It is said that there are several Nascent Soul elders within the sect.


    Beyond the East Yu Territory is the center of the entire Eastern Region, the Eastern Earth Land.


    Even the two elders of the Divine Wood Sect had never been there. Only Zhou Shengqing had heard the Founder of Hun Yuan talk about it. There are over a hundred sects and families that have produced Nascent Soul Cultivators, and the Sky Meal Building is one of them.


    The Eastern Earth Land is the essence of the entire Eastern Region¡¯s cultivation world, and it is said that there are True Divinity Transforming Monarchs in the four holy lands of the Eastern Earth.

 Chapter 590 - Chapter 590: Chapter 384: The Six Territories of the Eastern Region_2

    Chapter 590: Chapter 384: The Six Territories of the Eastern Region_2


    However, even with the deep roots of the Eastern Earth Region, they find the annual invasion from Eastern Li Region a headache every year.


    Eastern Li is the northernmost place in the entire Eastern Region, and it is where devil cultivators run rampant. The eighteen sects of the Demonic Cultivation, and various other side sects all have inheritance there, mixing fish and dragons, but hidden among them are extremely formidable figures of evil cultivation.


    Three hundred years ago, an evil cultivator who called himself Ming Zun, reached the perfection of demonic cultivation, and single-handedly invaded Eastern Earth Region, traversing thirty thousand miles with a single sword, destroying sects and exterminating countless doors.


    He even stepped onto the Dao Palace, one of the holy lands of Eastern Earth, and forced the emergence of a primordial spirit incarnation left behind by True Monarch Yuan before his ascendance.


    After this battle, Ming Zun disappeared.


    The Dao Palace then announced its closure, and it remains closed to this day.


    This has caused the Eastern Earth¡¯s four great holy lands to lack one, and many new cultivators even think that there are only three major holy lands.


    All these things were originally heard by Zhou Shengqing from Hun Yuan Founder, and he wrote them down and placed them in the Book Pavilion for the foundation establishment cultivators of Divine Wood Sect to read, in order to let his junior disciples know the vastness of the world.


    At the end of the book, Zhou Shengqing wrote about one more thing.


    Founder Hun Yuan once visited the Dao Palace, intending to join as a disciple of True Monarch Yuan, but because his generation was too high to be properly placed, the situation ended up being a little unpleasant.


    Then he followed with the story of the Founder Hun Yuan returning to the Eastern Wilderness to establish the Five Elements Sect.


    The cost of a meal at the Sky Meal Building is quite high. For Chen Mobai and Fu Xiuzuo, four dishes and a soup; Heavenly Fragrant Silver Fish, Spirit Mushroom Chicken Soup, Braised Pork Ribs, Stir-Fried Shrimp Balls, and Spirit Ginger and Scallion Xuan Vegetable, along with a pot of wine, actually cost them sixty spirit stones.


    However, the expensive price is worth it. After Chen Mobai finished eating, he felt as though his vitality had somewhat strengthened. After being cooked using special techniques, the spirit materials were easily absorbed and refined by the body like elixirs. Even the Pure Yang spiritual power within his Dantian Qi Sea subtly fluctuated. After a few Grand Circulations, a small droplet of liquid spiritual power vaguely began to condense.


    ¡°If I could eat at Sky Meal Building¡¯s treasures regularly, there would be no worries about not making progress in my cultivation.¡±


    After feeling the changes in his body, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh in admiration.


    ¡°That¡¯s what I thought initially too, but it¡¯s just too expensive. It¡¯s only because you¡¯ve come to the Yuhu Market this time, little junior brother, that I could rightfully invite you and then put this spirit stone expense on the family¡¯s account.¡±


    Fu Xiuzuo humorously replied, causing Chen Mobai to laugh awkwardly.


    ¡°Try this, the Yuhu Spring of Sky Meal Building is exceptional. Consuming it can help digest the spiritual energy contained in the delicacies.¡±


    Fu Xiuzuo opened another pot of wine and poured some for Chen Mobai.


    ¡°This wine is not bad, not worse than the one brewed by Ming¡¯er.¡±


    After taking a sip, Chen Mobai nodded faintly. Since he had already digested it himself, he didn¡¯t feel the purpose of this wine other than its flavor.


    ¡°Fu Huakun told me a long time ago that you, junior brother, are a gallant in wine, this Yuhu Spring is already the best wine in the Sky Meal Building.¡±


    Fu Xiuzuo and the inspector of the Reward Virtue Hall, Fu Huakun, are cousins. He had already heard from the latter that Chen Mobai was highly favored by their own Old Ancestor, so he specially came over to treat Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Oh? Doesn¡¯t Sky Meal Building have Rank-2 spiritual wine?¡±


    Chen Mobai could tell that this Yuhu Spring was only Rank-1. He thought that Sky Meal Building, with its background, shouldn¡¯t only have this.


    ¡°Of course there is Rank-2 Yuhu Spring, but it needs to have been pre-ordered a month in advance, and it can only be shipped from the Sky Meal Building¡¯s main store in the Eastern Yi Territory.¡±


    Fu Xiuzuo responded. He was already past the peak of his age, although he was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he had no possibility of advancing further, so he spent most of his time indulging in enjoyment. Sky Meal Building was also a place he frequented.


    ¡°What¡¯s the price like?¡±


    ¡°It depends on the grade, the lowest Rank-2 Lower-grade is a hundred spirit stones per pot, I¡¯ve only tasted this kind.¡±


    Hearing Fu Xiuzuo¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh that the Eastern Wilderness was really ¡°impoverished¡±, he couldn¡¯t even enjoy his drinks unabashedly.


    Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan on the other hand, both had gleaming eyes.


    They both knew that last year, Yan Jinye and Zhuo Ming had jointly brewed Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine.


    Although only two jugs were successful, those were large jugs of twenty catties each.


    The pot of alcohol at Sky Meal Building now had a serving size of 10 taels, implying that the two jars of alcohol from last year were worth 6,400 Spirit Stones.


    ¡°This year, my junior apprentice has successfully brewed some Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine. After it¡¯s opened, I¡¯ll ask Wen Bo to send two jars to Brother Fu.¡±


    This jar referred to the small jar, which usually weighs one jin.


    On hearing this, Fu Xiuzuo burst into laughter, expressing that the meal was worth it today.


    After the meal, they discussed some market-related issues. When Chen Mobai mentioned wanting to operate a shop, Fu Xiuzuo promised to arrange for the Fu family to rent out the one leased to the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Many thanks to Clan Head Fu for his understanding.¡±


    Pang Guangmin, who was on the side, voiced his gratitude upon hearing Fu Xiuzuo¡¯s words.


    The eight shops leased out by the Divine Wood Sect were actually managed by the Fu family, as market administrators. The Divine Wood Sect received a fixed amount of 1,200 Spirit Stones annually, and whatever price the Fu family leased them out for was beyond their concern¨Cundoubtedly, they made much more.


    Liu Ruzhong was Fu Zongjue¡¯s recognised disciple and Fu Xiuzuo¡¯s junior fellow apprentice, hence, this benefit naturally did not fall into the hands of outsiders.


    Originally, if Fu Xiuzuo had not spoken up, Pang Guangmin would have needed to personally visit the Fu family to negotiate this matter.


    If the Fu family had acted tough, Pang Guangmin wedged in the middle, would have certainly been in a gloomy situation.


    However, it seemed Pang Guangmin had underestimated the influence of Chen Mobai¡¯s name. They hadn¡¯t even gone to the Fu family yet but Fu Xiuzuo had personally come over with a very friendly attitude.


    With Fu Xiuzuo¡¯s assistance, matters regarding the shop were easily settled.


    Of the eight shops of the Divine Wood Sect, the Fu family personally operated two. As soon as Fu Xiuzuo spoke up, they immediately began to clear up the goods in the shop with the best location. By evening, it had been cleared and tidied up.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, do you plan to turn this into a liquor store?¡±


    Fu Xiuzuo and Chen Mobai came to this shop in the centre of Yuhu Market after their drink; the shop was small but it lay close to the four shops that the Divine Wood Sect operated personally, indicating a clear history.


    ¡°I¡¯ll sell some general goods and earn some resources for cultivation.¡±


    Chen Mobai said modestly before pointing, the original shop name on the signboard above the door had been erased and ¡°Xiao Nanshan¡¯s Shop¡± was subsequently etched onto it.


    Fu Xiuzuo nodded, his cousin Fu Huakun had told him that this junior brother¡¯s shop in Divine Wood City had the same name and mainly sold Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine of reasonable quality.


    The market for Spirit Rice was relatively stable whereas business for Spiritual Wine was average or rather lacked market, as most Loose Cultivators would only spend their Spirit Stones on increasing their Cultivation Level.


    Loose Cultivators wouldn¡¯t even take a glance at places like Sky Meal Building.


    Given the Spirit Stone, they would rather buy a few pills.


    Chen Mobai stayed in Yuhu Market for three days during which Fu Xiuzuo accompanied him throughout, growing their friendship.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai treated Fu Xiuzuo to a meal at Sky Meal Building in return.


    However, this time they drank the wine that they brought themselves.


    The flavor was entirely different from that of Jade Pot Spring, but it had its unique charm which left Fu Xiuzuo greatly satisfied.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, a meetup for Foundation Establishment cultivators will be held in Tiankui Market in half a month. I¡¯ll also be there then, so after you¡¯ve finished your inspection tour in Green Phoenix Market, you can come over with Old Ghost Liang.¡±

    Following Yuhu Market was Green Phoenix Market. Although it belonged to the Cultivator Liang family there was also another family that Chen Mobai was very wary of ¨C the Guo family.


    This was the family of Madam Guo, who had been killed by Immortal Feiming at Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    However, after Chen Mobai had killed Immortal Feiming, he suddenly discovered that Madam Guo¡¯s body had disappeared.


    He had mentioned this matter to the then Sect Leader Meng Hong to prevent unexpected incidents when the sect was mining Void Stones. Sect Leader Zhou Shengqing had personally made a trip to Lonely Spirit Ridge, confirmed that there were no problems, and even set up a Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation.


    He might as well take this patrol opportunity to have some exchanges with the Guo family.

 Chapter 591 - Chapter 591: Chapter 385: Sales Meeting_1

    Chapter 591: Chapter 385: Sales Meeting_1


    The Green Phoenix Market is known for its spirit beast trading and is owned by the Liang family.


    This family is most famous for rearing a spirit beast called the Qinghong Bird.


    This spirit beast can carry people into flight at Rank-1, and can even transport objects as it matures.


    In the Tianhe Realm, many loose cultivators dream of possessing a Qinghong Bird because it gives them the ability to fly in the sky as they perform Qi cultivation.


    The Liang family has two Foundation Establishment cultivators within the Divine Wood Sect, one is the Minister of the Spirit Beast Department, Liang Yanyou, and the other is Liang Lingzhen.


    Among them, Chen Mobai has a decent relationship with Liang Lingzhen; they are both Inspection Envoys of the Reward Virtue Hall and were one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators who followed Chu Zuoshu to battle at Mountain Shaker Peak.


    Liang Lingzhen also participated when the Azure Light Formation was being practised.


    The current patriarch of the Liang family is named Liang Jinggui. He ranks very high in seniority, having lived for two hundred years, making him the oldest Foundation Establishment cultivator within the Jian Country. He is therefore, also known as Old Ghost Liang.


    Chen Mobai naturally treats him with extreme respect, and after Liang Jinggui politely dismissed the formalities, he graciously accepted.


    ¡°Nephew Chen is indeed a young talent, as Lingzhen has previously mentioned. Today upon meeting you, it is clear that this is not an exaggeration.¡±


    Liang Jinggui, with his white hair, spoke with a full and robust voice. He motioned, and immediately, a graceful female cultivator brought forth a spirit beast bag to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°For our first meeting, this is the Qinghong Bird from our recent Liang family¡¯s hatching batch that has the strongest bloodline fluctuation. Consider this as a meeting gift for you, nephew.¡±


    Chen Mobai politely thanked him, and without further delay accepted the gift.


    As the spirit beast bag could not be placed in the storage bag, Chen Mobai found it inappropriate to hang it around his waist at the venue, so he handed it over to Luo Yixuan who was next to him, asking her to learn from the Liang family¡¯s junior female cultivator on how to handle the Qinghong Bird.


    Chen Mobai then discussed with Liang Jinggui about renting a shop in the Green Phoenix Market, accompanied by Liu Wenbo.


    The name of the Divine Wood Sect is indeed very influential within the Jian Country. Chen Mobai, as the Town Guard in the upcoming ten years, is respected even by the Fu Family who directly serves the Ancestor, not to mention the Liang family.


    ¡°Nephew, over at Tiankui Market, there is a sales event hosted by a Star Heaven Grand Merchant Association. Many Foundation Establishment cultivators are there, and Wang Gongdao has invited me and others to exchange some resources like elixirs and spiritual objects. Would you like to join?¡±


    After making rounds around the shops belonging to the Divine Wood Sect in the Green Phoenix Market and checking on the attendant disciples, Liang Jinggui proposed an idea of accompanying Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai naturally agreed, but he also mentioned that he needs to make a visit to the Guo family before setting off.


    Guo family? Ever since Madam Guo mysteriously disappeared, their situation has only been deteriorating. If it wasn¡¯t for Guo Boyear in Five Elements Sect, they might have already been wiped out by the breakers and loose cultivators.¡±


    Liang Jinggui pays a lot of attention to the neighbours of his own family.


    Chen Mobai knew that when the Void Mysterious Stone Mine was discovered, the upper echelons of the Divine Wood Sect had already considered exterminating the Guo family. If it was not for Meng Hong¡¯s concern over the repercussions, the Guo family would have been wiped out long ago.


    ¡°Do you know the history of the Guo family?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked Liang Jinggui, who was next to him.


    ¡°When we were still part of the Five Elements Sect years ago, Madam Guo became a Dao companion with the Guard of the Founding Nation. This guard of the Founding Nation was named Ying Chang, a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Earth Vein.¡±


    ¡°When we split off from the Five Elements Sect and took over this area of Jian Country, Ying Chang surprisingly did not leave. Instead, he joined the Wood Vein for the sake of his wife and children.¡±


    ¡°Later, Ying Chang represented the Divine Wood Sect on the battlefield and ran into his fellow cultivator from the Earth Vein. His rival casted a spell that was mutually destructive, killing Ying Chang. Despite dying for the Divine Wood Sect, the Guo family still owns ten shops here in the Green Phoenix Market.¡±


    Liang Jinggui has a thorough understanding of the Guo family.


    Out of the ten shops, the Guo family now only owns six, and even these six are under negotiation for transfer.


    The ones who want to take over are the Liang family.


    ¡°The most valuable property of the Guo family is a jade mine that occasionally reveals some accompanying spirit stones. I recently teamed up with several other major forces in the Green Phoenix Market, to see if we can jointly take over this jade mine.¡±


    After hearing Liang Jinggui¡¯s words, Chen Mobai could not help but feel surprised.


    ¡°Oh, has the Guo family fallen into such poverty that they are considering selling their ancestral property?¡±


    Chen Mobai has certainly heard about the Guo family¡¯s jade mine. The Gold Jade Ax that he holds was made from materials derived from this mine.


    Every year this mine produces some valuable Rank-3 gold jade materials. Its potential could easily last for several decades and has a value of at least tens of thousands of spirit stones.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Without a Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding it, the Guo family cannot hold onto such a large fortune. However, this is also Guo Boyear¡¯s idea. By selling all of their properties in Jian Country to obtain a huge amount of spirit stones, the Guo family plans to move to the domain of the Five Elements Sect. It is not necessarily a downgrade.¡±


    After hearing Liang Jinggui¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s face showed realisation.


    But according to his conjecture, the Divine Wood Sect probably had a hand in accelerating this situation from behind.


    Since they could not wipe out the Guo family publicly, they might use the fact that there is no Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding the place to drive out forces like the Liang family from Jian Country, then find ways to eliminate them. This is highly possible.


    Simply by observing how Liang Jinggui candidly talks about annexing the Guo family¡¯s properties in front of Chen Mobai, it¡¯s clear that he must have received some internal signal from the Divine Wood Sect.

 Chapter 592 - Chapter 592: 385

    Chapter 592: 385


    Chen Mobai simply invited Liang Jinggui to accompany him to the Guo family.


    Caught off guard by his arrival, the Guo family was somewhat flustered. It took them a long time before three of the elders with Qi Cultivation on the ninth level came out; their faces filled with respect, welcoming the two.


    ¡°The stability of the Jian Country¡¯s world of Immortal Cultivation cannot be without any of the seven great families. I heard that the Guo family has been facing difficulties recently, so I came over specifically to see if I could help.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke impeccably. The Guo family elder¡¯s face was filled with gratitude as he began sharing the problems that have been plaguing their family recently.


    ¡°Hong Chang from the Loose Repair Alliance and the powerful Dou Ye Wang have challenged our family formation multiple times.¡±


    ¡°One accuses our Guo family of setting our jade prices too high, not leaving any profit for lone cultivators; the other claims that one of his disciples went missing in the vicinity and insists that our Guo family, with our eyes on his wealth, murdered his disciple and demands us to break our formation to allow him to investigate.¡±


    ¡°Heaven knows, aren¡¯t they clearly trying to take over our Guo family¡¯s mines and Spiritual Land now that our family Head has disappeared!¡±


    As the Guo family elder spoke, he could not help but shed tears. When had their Guo family ever had to suffer such humiliations in the past?


    ¡°What are the backgrounds of this Hong Xu and Dou Ye Wang?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know anything about these two people and thus asked Liang Jinggui who was beside him.


    ¡°The Loose Repair Alliance is an organization that originated from the East Land. Its purpose is to provide a sanctuary for lone cultivators in a world dominated by large sects, to prevent all Spirit Pills and Spiritual Medicine from being monopolized by the powerful forces and freely priced. Although not influential within the Eastern Wilderness, The alliance has attracted a considerable number of cultivators, and this Hong Xu is one of the leaders among the lone cultivators in Jian Country, with a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivation level.¡±


    ¡°Dou Ye Wang is a rogue cultivator who got lucky and obtained a Foundation Building Pill after killing a disciple who was cultivating Qi. Even though he did tone down a bit after Foundation Establishment, he has still gathered a group of rogue cultivators under his command and often raids small sects and forces that lack a Foundation Establishment cultivator.¡±


    After Liang Jinggui finished speaking, Chen Mobai slapped his thigh fiercely.


    ¡°Rogue cultivators are a menace! If this Dou Ye Wang continues to make unwarranted trouble, simply let him come and find me at the Divine Wood Sect. As for Hong Xu, I feel that he has already strayed from the initial intention of the Loose Repair Alliance and needs to correct his thoughts. I¡¯ll have a serious talk with him when I meet him.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words deeply touched the Guo family elder. When they were saying goodbye, the elder tried to hand Chen Mobai a storage bag.


    ¡°Alas, no reward without effort; after I have dealt with Hong Xu and Dou Ye Wang, if Elder Guo wants to show his gratitude, I will gladly accept.¡±


    Under the incredulous gaze of Liang Jinggui, Chen Mobai declined the Spirit Stones offered by the Guo family, and left together with Liu Wenbo.


    ¡°Dear nephew, the Guo family has sold a lot of properties recently, and has accumulated quite a few Spirit Stones. What they tried to give to you could very well be a great gift.¡±


    On the way back, Liang Jinggui reminded Chen Mobai, in case he missed out on such a sizeable extra income.


    ¡°Chief Liang, don¡¯t worry. Though I am of upright character, if I accepted the Guo family¡¯s Spirit Stones, then I must solve this issue for them; otherwise, I¡¯d feel guilty. And the Guo family¡­ They don¡¯t yet have the ability to be a concern.¡±


    Even though Chen Mobai was not a cultivator of the Heart Stream, he also valued integrity.


    Since childhood, his grandfather taught him that receiving gifts and accomplishing the task was the most significant deal of trust. If you receive gifts but fail to get the job done, you must return the presents; otherwise, this issue will become your loophole in advancing further in the future, and it could even be the last gift you ever receive.


    Upon hearing this, Liang Jinggui was pensive, and his evaluation of Chen Mobai went up a notch.


    The next day, their group set off for the Tiankui Market.


    Seven members of the Liang family went, seemingly purchasing items from Tiankui Market.


    Chen Mobai and his two disciples accompanied Liang Jinggui, sitting atop a massive rank-2 Qinghong Bird¨Cthere was even a pavilion where they chatted and enjoyed tea amidst the clouds¨Cit did indeed feel like they were Immortals.


    ¡°I heard that, at the Star Heaven Grand Trade Fair this time around, there is a Soft Bone Pill recipe. If one can get their hands on it, even the low-rank Spirit Beasts can be made to speak.¡±


    The Star Heaven Grand Trade Fair is a major sect within the East Yu Territory¨Cthe Star Heaven Dao Sect¡¯s trade fair. It has long been dealing with the six territories of the Eastern Region, profiting a massive amount of Spirit Stones.


    As for the Trade Fair, it is a unique kind of anonymous auction in the Tianhe Realm.


    That is, the Trade Fair lists out the available resources such as Spirit Pills and Magic Artifacts. After paying the entrance fee in Spirit Stones, all cultivators can visit and participate.


    If you see anything you like, you can contact the representative of the chamber of commerce, and quote your price.


    When the sale ends, the chamber of commerce will compare the prices everyone has offered, and then privately inform the cultivator who offered the highest price, asking them to come and pay the Spirit Stones in exchange for their merchandise.


    The advantage of this method is that some cultivators, in order to ensure they get the spiritual objects they need, will quote a high price. Moreover, the chamber of commerce guarantees its credibility and will not reveal who purchased the goods.


    At least, within the Eastern Wilderness, there is no sect that can subdue the Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    Most cultivators are very receptive to these types of sales.


    After all, there are too many rogue cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness; with guaranteed confidentiality, safety has significantly increased.


    The Soft Bone Pill that Liang Jinggui needs is a pill formula passed down from East Li, mainly used to refine the vocal cords of demonic beasts, enabling them to speak at Rank-1 or Rank-2.


    However, this pill formula is truthfully a top-end Rank-2 formula and is quite expensive. Moreover, it is probably highly sought after.


    That¡¯s why Liang Jinggui decided to handle it personally; he wanted to see if there were any competing beast tamers on site, and if they might be able to collaborate rather than compete, copying each other¡¯s formulas after securing the item.


    Of course, if the price is too low, the chamber of commerce reserves the right not to sell.


    ¡°In this sale, cultivators can also submit their own items to the chamber of commerce for appraisal. The chamber of commerce will then offer a price. If a purchase agreement is reached, they will take the spiritual objects collected from the Eastern Wilderness to sell at the next sale in East Wu or the Eastern Yi Territory. It¡¯s a guaranteed profit.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very interested in this sale, so Liang Jinggui explained a bit more.


    The speed of this Qinghong Bird surpasses Chen Mobai¡¯s imagination. They only took two days to reach Tiankui Market.


    Unexpectedly, aside from them, there were two other Foundation Establishment cultivators who arrived at the same time.


    ¡°The Tang siblings.¡±


    Liang Jinggui also seems to recognize these two. The man had a gloomy look with a black scarf around his head, and the woman was alluring and flirtatious.


    Seeing the huge Qinghong Bird in the sky, the Tang siblings knew who had arrived. They didn¡¯t greet them, but went straight into Tiankui Market after landing.


    ¡°Are these two loose cultivators?¡±


    Chen Mobai used his Void Spirit Eye and immediately noticed their impressive cultivation level. They were both at the mid Foundation Establishment stage, prompting him to inquire curiously.


    ¡°They¡¯re rogue cultivators from the Snow Country, often coming to our Jian Country markets to sell stolen goods. Seems like they¡¯re using channels from the Loose Repair Alliance.¡±


    After Liang Jinggui finished speaking, he signaled for the Qinghong Bird to land. Someone from the Liang family was already waiting at the entrance of the marketplace. They put the Qinghong Bird into the Spirit Beast Bag and then entered together.


    ¡°First, take us to the sale.¡±


    Although Liang Jinggui is elderly, he still acts swiftly and decisively.


    ¡°Yes, Grand Elder.¡±


    The person in charge of the Liang family in Tiankui Market immediately led them to their destination.

    Star Fallen Square!


    Upon seeing the three words on a stone stele at the entrance to the central street of the Tiankui Market, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but nod approvingly.


    ¡°For this sale, the Wang family¡¯s Grand Elder has rented out ten central street shops in the market to the Star Heaven Chamber of Commerce. The exhibited spiritual objects in each shop vary in nature.¡±


    Listening to the introduction of the Steward of the Liang family, Chen Mobai entered the Star Fallen Square Street with his two curious disciples.


    Each shop had a hanging plaque at the entrance, each inscribed with one of the following: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Strange, Pill, Beast, Formation, Oddity.

 Chapter 593 - Chapter 593: Chapter 386: Lamp Stand _1

    Chapter 593: Chapter 386: Lamp Stand _1


    After entering Star Fallen Square, Chen Mobai separated from Liang Jinggui.


    ¡°You two feel free to look around, and we can meet up later at the entrance,¡± he said to his two disciples. Even among master-disciple relationships in the Tianhe Realm, cultivators would instinctively maintain some distance.


    So, when he said this, Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan nodded and separately headed towards stores that matched their spirit root attributes.


    Chen Mobai assessed the ten shops standing in the middle of the street. The gathering was a small-scale one, primarily aimed at cultivators in the Qi Cultivating Realm. Thus, they mostly dealt with Rank-1 spiritual objects. Still, some Rank-2 items were also present to attract more substantial attention.


    Chen Mobai was confident about the resources from the Tianhe Realm. After all, if they had been selected by the Star Heaven Commerce Guild and put on display, they must be top-notch spiritual objects.


    He first stepped into a store marked by the color gold, where he saw translucent boxes flying mid-air, each holding golden spiritual objects radiating bright light.


    No physical contact was needed to perceive their qualities by cultivators¡¯ standards.


    In the store¡¯s center, two cultivators wearing the Star Heaven Commerce Guild attire greeted the crowd with smiles, surrounded by a group of cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness asking various questions.


    When a cultivator wished to make a price offer, a member of the Star Heaven Commerce Guild would retrieve the floating box and guide the cultivator to a specially reserved area for more detailed discussions.


    Pure Gold, Pure Iron, Lung Gold Qi, Five-Element Metal Stones, Thousand Pound Blade, Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique, Gold Body Puppet Technique¡­


    Chen Mobai glanced at every floating box and quickly processed the corresponding information displayed in his mind, seemingly a result of a potent binding spell.


    However, the displayed information related to cultivation techniques only provided general descriptions and the highest attainable realm through cultivation.


    The most interesting object for Chen Mobai was the ¡°Lung Gold Qi.¡±


    It was sublime spiritual energy condensed by cultivators specializing in metal attribute cultivation techniques. According to the linguistics in the Immortal Cultivation World, it was one of the Five Elements Essence Qi.


    Surprisingly, something similar could also be found in the Tianhe Realm.


    However, the Lung Gold Qi was commonly used to condense sword Qi and was especially suitable for cultivating the Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique.


    A cultivator would need to commit many years to initiate Lung Gold Qi synthesis through the Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique.


    Therefore, the Star Heaven Commerce Guild specifically paired the Lung Gold Qi with the Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique. If someone wished to purchase the item, they would have to bid on both items simultaneously.


    Chen Mobai had a keen interest in Lung Gold Qi and thus signaled the cultivator from the Star Heaven Commerce Guild.


    ¡°Esteemed senior, please follow me.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not hide his Foundation Establishment cultivator aura. He was already under special observation as soon as he entered the shop. Seeing his signal, a cultivator immediately brought down three floating boxes and invited him to a private booth for discussions.


    ¡°I am a bit interested in this Lung Gold Qi, so I will give a casual quotation,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    In the Immortal Cultivation World, cultivators would usually synthesize this item themselves. Since Chen Mobai had stumbled upon it here, he conveniently set his bid at 100 Spirit Stones.


    ¡°Senior, this Thousand Pound Blade is also suitable for the Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique; would you like to consider it as well?¡±


    The cultivator from the Star Heaven Commerce Guild opened up the three transparent boxes, displaying the Lung Gold Qi, the Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique, and the Thousand Pound Blade, hoping for Chen Mobai¡¯s approval.


    However, Chen Mobai declined straight away. The metal attribute technique was not very useful to him, and the Thousand Pound Blade was merely a Rank-1 premium-grade magic artifact. He had a better option in the form of the Gold Jade Ax.


    Besides Lung Gold Qi, Chen Mobai was also interested in a portion of Golden Light Sha and three taels of Geng Metal.


    Both were Rank-2 spiritual objects. Even if they weren¡¯t immediately useful, there was a chance they might come in handy in the future.


    Chen Mobai considered for a moment and then bid 600 and 900 Spirit Stones, respectively.


    Leaving the gold-colored store, Chen Mobai remembered that his younger cousin had recently been accepted into the Primordial Elemental Academy. He had yet to give her a gift. Given her remarkable Metal Spirit Root, he returned to the store and selected a vibrant Five-Element Metal Stone, bidding a price of 30 Spirit Stones.


    The Five-Element Metal Stone was a material condensed from five different types of metals. It could be shaped into any form an artifact embryo required according to a cultivator¡¯s divine sense. It was typically used for key parts of large-scale magical instruments.


    It was somewhat alike the Ruyi Iron in the Immortal Cultivation world. However, the Five-Element Metal Stone could only be used for Rank-1 magic artifacts. Most of the time, it was simply sufficient for a lower-grade Rank-1, leading to a small number of buyers.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s bid of 30 Spirit Stones was quite high and basically guaranteed the purchase.


    Next, he visited a shop marked by the color ¡®wood.¡¯ The shop had so many previously unheard-of tree seeds, grain seeds, flowers, and plants that Chen Mobai, who loved farming, couldn¡¯t resist the temptation.


    He chose seeds and saplings suitable for the climate and geomagnetic lines of Giant Tree Ridge and listed the prices for all of them.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The most precious items of this shop were a Rank-2 Green Lotus Seed and a piece of Rank-2 Pure Bamboo.


    It was said that the Green Lotus Seed came from a Rank-3 lotus in East Yu Realm, and it had the potential to be nurtured into a Rank-3 artifact.


    Meanwhile, the Pure Bamboo was a spiritual object from the Eastern Yi Sky Mulberry Valley. Reportedly, it could potentially exhibit a Rank-4 cultivation once it fully grows. It could refine the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Qi, which helps open the Purple Palace, boosts divine sense, and soothes the mind and spirit. Moreover, the bamboo section provided still had roots and thus could be re-cultivated to life.


    Chen Mobai casually filled out a price of 300 Spirit Stones for both items.


    After exploring the ¡®water¡¯ and ¡®earth¡¯ themed shops, Chen Mobai found Void Stones and a Rank-3 Mountain Suppression Stone in the ¡®earth¡¯ shop.

 Chapter 594 - Chapter 594: Chapter 386: Lamp Stand_2

    Chapter 594: Chapter 386: Lamp Stand_2


    This Mountain Suppression Stone is essential for setting up a formation that connects to the earth veins, and its value for a Rank-3 is over one hundred thousand spirit stones.


    After appreciating various rare and exotic stones, Chen Mobai focused his attention on the Fire Character Shop.


    There were many good things here.


    However, what moved him the most was an intact Fire in Stone, equivalent to refined and sublimated Green-sun Fire, worth fifty to sixty thousand spirit stones.


    After asking the people from the Star Heaven Commercial Union, he learned that this was drawn from authentic fire by their sect¡¯s Gold Core elder, because the East Yu region was dominated by mountains and they could easily find spiritual mountains to refine the Fire in Stone.


    Chen Mobai looked at his own savings and, due to his cultivation of the Pure Yang Body and other expenses over the years, he was left with only slightly over three thousand spirit stones.


    However, he still had a raw spirit stone from the Lonely Spirit Ridge, equivalent to some thirty to forty thousand lower-grade spirit stones. But this wasn¡¯t easy to deal with since all forces were extremely sensitive to spirit stone mines wherever they are.


    With a sigh, Chen Mobai symbolically bid 5000 spirit stones for this Fire in Stone. After that, he lost interest in the other True Fires and turned to leave.


    The Differently Characterized Shop was for spiritual objects corresponding to wind, thunder, ice, and other different spiritual roots. Since cultivators with different spiritual roots were rare, they were merged together.


    Chen Mobai had a friend with an Ice Spirit Root, so he went in and wandered around, originally intending to buy a Cold Jade Snow Lotus that had been frozen after blooming as a spiritual object.


    However, after some careful thought, if he gave Yan Bingxuan a gift and didn¡¯t give one to Qing Nu, it would be somewhat inappropriate. And if he gave a gift to Qing Nu, not giving one to other closely acquainted women would definitely not be acceptable.


    In the end, he decided not to give anyone a gift.


    Equal treatment for all.


    After his thoughts were clear, Chen Mobai nodded and left the Differently Characterized Shop.


    The Pill Character Shop was crowded with people, and there were cultivators bidding on each bottle of elixir. As for the few rare elixir recipes, there was no need to mention them.


    Chen Mobai glanced inside from the entrance and saw Liang Jinggui. He was having a heated argument with someone, who was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    After watching for a while, he felt it was boring and went straight to the Beast Character Shop. There weren¡¯t many people here, after all, Beast Tamers were not mainstream in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Chen Mobai noticed that the beast guarding the shop was a Black Tortoise. It had just hatched but this Black Tortoise was one of the few spirit beasts in the Tianhe Realm that could live for over ten thousand years.


    It was also known as the Millennium Tortoise.


    Affluent Immortal Cultivation families and sects would all keep a Black Tortoise because once this spirit beast grows up, due to its lazy nature, it generally does not wish to change its dwelling place. Even if the tamer died, it would still be willing to protect his descendants.


    Moreover, the first Ascended Monk, Mother of Water, in the recorded history of the Tianhe Realm, had a Black Tortoise spirit beast. It was with the help of this spirit beast¡¯s water control abilities that she was able to finally regulate the three-element water vein of heaven and earth and establish the Tianhe Dao Dynasty.


    So, this Black Tortoise cub was in high demand, and Chen Mobai even ran into Fu Xiuzuo here.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, are you interested in this Black Tortoise too?¡±


    ¡°Not at all, I¡¯m just browsing.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head. He knew nothing about Beast Taming. The only Sky Snake he had contracted was kept for rearing.


    Moreover, this Black Tortoise grew extremely slowly. If it reached Rank-3, it would take at least a thousand years. In a place like the Eastern Wilderness where conflicts were intense, there was simply no time for it to grow.


    ¡°I¡¯ve bid two thousand spirit stones. If I can buy it, it¡¯s worth it.¡±


    Fu Xiuzuo didn¡¯t hide anything from Chen Mobai either. The two chatted in the shop for a while before saying their goodbyes.


    Chen Mobai then went to the Formation Character Shop, but he only had a cursory understanding of formations, so he left after just a quick look.


    Finally, he came to the Strange Character Shop.


    This was where the Star Day Commercial Union appraised their purchases; there were many cultivators lining up.


    Some Loose Cultivators even looked nervous, as if the items they had were extremely valuable.


    Aside from appraisal, there were also some treasures that even the Star Day Commercial Union couldn¡¯t identify on display, and people could bid on these items.


    Of course, if someone could help with the appraisal, the Star Day Commercial Union was willing to give an appraisal fee.


    This feeling of being able to pick up bargains in the hands of the Star Day Commercial Union excited many cultivators.


    However, many Loose Cultivators who spent spirit stones to buy unidentified treasures ended up with useless items. So over time, although there were many people appraising treasures, those who managed to pick up bargains were very few.


    Chen Mobai walked in and casually strolled around. Halfway through, he was standing still, staring at something that looked like a lamp holder in a transparent box.


    This thing seems to be a set with that five-colored Lotus Lamp.


    In the past, Chen Mobai had obtained a mysterious five-colored Lotus Lamp after killing the Daoist Feimeng in the Lonely Spirit Ridge. After his appraisal over the years, he found that it should be an incomplete Rank-3 magic artifact.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    It lacked a lamp holder and the method to light the lamp wick.


    If this lamp holder truly matches the five-colored Lotus Lamp, then Chen Mobai will have his second Rank-3 magic artifact.


    Without showing any emotion, he requested a cultivator of the Star Heaven Commercial Union and made a bid of 100 spirit stones for four treasure objects filled with spiritual energy, including the lamp holder.


    ¡°Senior, do you know the origin of these four items? If you are willing to tell, we are willing to pay a fee of 50 spirit stones for each piece.¡±


    The cultivator from the Star Heaven Commercial Union asked routinely, which was met with a shake of Chen Mobai¡¯s head.

 Chapter 595 - Chapter 595: Chapter 386: Lamp Stand_3

    Chapter 595: Chapter 386: Lamp Stand_3


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure either, I just felt that these four items were rich in spiritual energy, so they should be good items.¡±


    Even the treasure appraisers of the Star Heaven corporation, who were rich in spiritual energy, could see this, hence their decision to purchase. So, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t reveal anything with his remarks.


    Walking out of Star Fallen Square, Chen Mobai saw Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan waiting at the entrance of the street.


    ¡°Did you find anything that you liked?¡±


    Chen Mobai casually asked.


    ¡°There¡¯s a nice green cow that I plan to buy for Sister Zhuo.¡±


    Liu Wenbo, a scion of a well-off family, lacked neither magic artifacts nor cultivation techniques. Moreover, he was very obedient to Chen Mobai¡¯s words and had recently stopped using medicinal pills to enhance his cultivation level. Therefore, he didn¡¯t need Rank-1 items from Star Fallen Square, and he couldn¡¯t afford Rank-2 items. So he decided to buy a green cow from the Beast Character Shop for Zhuo Ming, who guarded the family home.


    ¡°Very good, Wenbo, you are increasingly assuming the demeanor of a big brother.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t hesitate to shower him with praise.


    ¡°Master, I also bought some seeds of spiritual rice grain for Sister Zhuo and several big bags of spirit soil from other realms.¡±


    Luo Yixuan immediately mentioned that she also bought items for Zhuo Ming. She knew that as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Chen Mobai would not need the spiritual objects she bought. So she decided to curry favour with him by showing love and affection for his disciples.


    However, she didn¡¯t expect that the usually quiet Liu Wenbo would have the same idea.


    For a moment, she felt like she hadn¡¯t been paying enough attention to this big brother.


    However, she didn¡¯t know that after Liu Wenbo saw the green cow, he naturally felt that it was perfect for Zhuo Ming and simply quoted a price on a whim.


    Chen Mobai felt ¡°old¡± and satisfied, believing that his disciples were all like a loving family. He couldn¡¯t help but continually praise his two disciples.


    ¡°Xuan, you should keep the Qinghong Bird that Chief Liang gave you. I have no use for it.¡±


    ¡°It should be given to Big Brother. He will replace you, Master, in traveling outside in the future. He needs this flying spirit beast more than I do.¡±


    However, Luo Yixuan very wisely declined, which left Chen Mobai at a loss for words praising her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will buy another one for your big brother from Chief Liang later.¡±


    Only after Chen Mobai said this did Luo Yixuan accept the proposal with a look of delight.


    After leaving Star Fallen Square, the three master-disciple pairs made their way to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s dwelling place in Tiankui Market. The disciple in charge was named Fu Xingzhong and he was at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.


    Halfway through their discussion, Wang Gongdao, the head of Tiankui Market¡¯s Wang family, arrived.


    ¡°Town Guard, sorry for not meeting you earlier.¡±


    Wang Gongdao, a cultivator with a full face of beard, had been briefed by Yue Zutao. Both of them were actually from the same faction within the Divine Wood Sect. After a couple of exchanges, they began to address each other as brothers.


    ¡°Brother Chen, are you looking to rent a shop? That¡¯s easy. Once the auction in Star Fallen Square is over, those ten shops will all belong to my Wang family. You can choose whichever one you like. As for the rent, you can just pay a symbolic one spirit stone per year.¡±


    Wang was generous with his own people, and the Divine Wood Sect still had two shops unrented in Tiankui Market. Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to take advantage of them and leave trouble behind, so he tactfully declined Wang Gongdao¡¯s kindness.


    ¡°Brother Chen, as expected of a sword cultivator, you are upright in character.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    At this, Wang Gongdao just laughed heartily and then invited Chen Mobai to join the Foundation Establishment exchange meeting he was hosting.


    ¡°Most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Jian Country have come, they all have a good assortment of items with them. For example, Yuan Hongyuan brought many Rank-3 Immortal Peach fruits that many people are coveting.¡±


    Upon hearing the name Yuan Hongyuan from Black Cloud Mountain, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up.


    This was the rare power cultivator, whose strength E Yun had not stopped praising.


    I have long admired you, I didn¡¯t expect to meet you today!

 Chapter 596 - Chapter 596: Chapter 387 Soul Nourishing Wood_1

    Chapter 596: Chapter 387 Soul Nourishing Wood_1


    Chen Mobai followed Wang Gongdao to a seemingly inconspicuous shop in the Tiankui Market.


    Inside, there were already a good number of Foundation Establishment cultivators either sitting or standing, among them Chen Mobai recognized a man with a refined appearance, Fu Xiuzuo.


    Soon after, the white-haired and elderly Liang Jinggui entered the shop, and the three men naturally formed a small group.


    ¡°That¡¯s Yuan Hongyuan.¡±


    Liang Jinggui pointed to a middle-aged cultivator in a black robe who was in the corner, introducing him to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Such a grand demeanor, he truly lives up to his reputation as a powerful foundation establishment expert.¡±


    With preconceived impressions in mind, Chen Mobai had extremely high praises for Yuan Hongyuan.


    Due to the presence of the Divine Wood Sect in Jian Country, there were fewer conflicts within the country, therefore neither Fu Xiuzuo nor Liang Jinggui had tested Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s abilities. They believed he was a formidable character based on usual rumors.


    ¡°Hong Xu has arrived.¡±


    After a while, a square-faced cultivator with large ears entered the shop, and Liang Jinggui identified him as the leader of the Loose Repair Alliance in Jian Country.


    Apart from Hong Xu, the Tang siblings whom they had encountered at the entrance of the Tiankui Market also entered.


    A while later, two Foundation Establishment cultivators, a man and a woman from Star Heaven Merchant Association, arrived, and Wang Gongdao immediately went up to greet them.


    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, as the host, I¡¯m fortunate to gather everyone here with the help of this sale. Without further ado, let¡¯s begin.¡±


    When Wang Gongdao saw that almost everyone he had invited had arrived, he no longer wasted everyone¡¯s time and took out a golden fruit.


    ¡°This King Kong Fruit just ripened in my Wang family¡¯s medicinal field. It is a Rank-3 treasure for cultivators who practice Body Forging. If any of you are interested, you can whisper your bids to me.¡±


    Chen Mobai cast a glance around and saw that three or four Foundation Establishment cultivators seemed quite interested and they went up to examine the Rank-3 King Kong Fruit in Wang Gongdao¡¯s hand.


    Eventually, the male Foundation Establishment cultivator from Star Heaven Merchant Association offered a price that satisfied Wang Gongdao the most. The two of them then went to the back hall to complete the transaction.


    ¡°We have some Rank-2 Mountain Suppression Stones and Rank-2 Fire in Stone Seeds. Those interested can speak to us in detail.¡±


    After buying the King Kong Fruit, the cultivator from Star Heaven Merchant Association also brought out his spiritual objects. Mountain Suppression Stones are generally indispensable in the setup of large formations. In large formations, it can make the connection between the formation and the Spiritual Energy of the earth tighter, unleashing its true power.


    A few Loose Foundation Establishment cultivators seemed quite interested in the Mountain Suppression Stones. They had plans to turn their bloodline into cultivator families, so the formations of spiritual lands were key.


    A formation with a Mountain Suppression Stone possessing it is a primary condition for a long-lasting heritage.


    However, the price of this Mountain Suppression Stone was just too astronomical, these Loose Cultivators individually couldn¡¯t afford it, and after discussing with the representative from the Star Heaven Merchant Association, they all were tactfully declined.


    ¡°May I ask fellow Daoist, what is the price for the Fire in Stone Seed?¡±


    Chen Mobai approached and asked, the man from Star Heaven Merchant Association whispered back that it was ten thousand Spirit Stones, or an equal grade True Fire Seed in exchange.


    This was a similar price to Qingyang Fire Seed.


    Chen Mobai nodded his agreement, as this condition was quite suitable for him.


    Although he didn¡¯t have ten thousand Spirit Stones, he did have refined Qingyang Fire.


    Upgrading the Qingyang Fire Seed to a complete Qingyang Fire took him a lot of time and resources, but downgrading the Qingyang Fire back to its seed form was relatively easy.


    For other cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect, however, this process would typically take more than a year.


    But under the aid of the Enlightenment Tea, Chen Mobai had already grasped the essence of the Pure Yang Ignition Technique, enabling him to ignite the Qingyang Fire from nothing.


    Using the remaining Qingyang Fire after condensing Sword Demons as raw material, he was confident he could ignite a fire seed within a few days.


    ¡°I have a Qingyang Fire Seed in the sect, but it will take a few days to retrieve it. I wonder if Daoist friend can wait for a while.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the man from Star Heaven Merchant Association couldn¡¯t help but light up his eyes and asked Wang Gongdao about Chen Mobai¡¯s identity.


    ¡°So it is Daoist Chen from Divine Wood Sect. I¡¯m Lou Xuelong. Your sect¡¯s Qingyang Fire is a famous spiritual object even in the neighboring territories. I¡¯ll reserve this Fire in Stone Seed for you.¡±


    Lou Xuelong, whether out of courtesy or because he really heard of Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation, smilingly beckoned to the other Foundation Establishment cultivators in the guest hall, signaling that the Fire in Stone Seed was off the market.


    After leaving each other¡¯s Message Talisman, it was the turn of the third Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    ¡°I accidentally obtained a fragment of an Elixir Scripture. It contains two complete formulae that can refine two types of pills, respectively, to increase the cultivation levels at the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As soon as Hong Xu of the Loose Repair Alliance spoke, he caught the attention of all Foundation Establishment cultivators in the hall.


    In the Tianhe Realm, pill formulas are hard currency.


    Some cultivator families rely on a few pill formulas and refining methods to pass on their legacy. For instance, the Bai family of Snow Peak, their Tea Dan Method can enlighten one¡¯s spirit and increase Divine Sense, making them extremely popular among Qi Practitioners.


    By virtue of this, they even prospered in the White Moon Market. Every spring, when there is a bountiful harvest of spiritual tea leaves, Loose Cultivators from neighboring countries, even those from Snow Country, flock there to buy Tea Dan. They cultivate their Divine Sense with these Tea Dans.


    The Bai family of Snow Peak, by selling Tea Dan, firmly controls a part of the Qi Practitioner market. This makes them one of the richest among the seven major families of Jian Country.

 Chapter 597 - Chapter 597: Chapter 387: Soul Nourishing Wood_2

    Chapter 597: Chapter 387: Soul Nourishing Wood_2


    This time, Hong Xu¡¯s pill formula was one that could boost the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment practitioners, making it priceless.


    The Divine Wood Sect even has a rule that if a monk stumbles upon a pill formula the Sect doesn¡¯t own while traveling, they could purchase it at a reasonable price, and the Sect would reimburse it.


    However, this rule is generally just for show. First, the monks of the Divine Wood Sect wouldn¡¯t bother to keep track of all the pill formulas the Sect owns and hence wouldn¡¯t necessarily know if this was included.


    Even if they definitely knew the Sect didn¡¯t own it, what constituted a reasonable price was highly debatable since there was no clear boundary, and it relied heavily on subjectivity.


    Both Fu Xiuzuo and Liang Jinggui who were at Chen Mobai¡¯s side were greatly interested and approached Hong Xu to check the contents of the two pill formulas.


    ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be any problems. If the Loose Repair Alliance intends to establish its business in Jian Country, they won¡¯t put out things with issues,¡± said Fu Xiuzuo after he assessed it, shaking his head before strolling back.


    ¡°It¡¯s too expensive. 30,000 spirit stones for two pill formulas. I just can¡¯t afford it,¡± Liang Jinggui stated. He had brought enough spirit stones, but his main target at the Star Heaven Corporation¡¯s event was the Soft Bone Pill. He was very interested in the two pill formulas that Hong Xu owned, but he valued his priorities more.


    ¡°Chen junior brother, don¡¯t you want to take a look?¡±


    As for pill formulas, if Chen Mobai was willing, he could collect dozens of them every day from the celestial sect. He looked down on those in the Tianhe Realm, but he still maintained modesty in his speech.


    ¡°I have no knowledge about alchemy, so I think I¡¯ll pass.¡±


    Hong Xu¡¯s two pill formulas were ultimately purchased by the Star Heaven Corporation. Only they seemed to have the huge wealth to willingly part with spirit stones for items they fancied.


    Then it was Liang Jinggui¡¯s turn. He pulled out two Beast Spirit Eggs which were laid by their family¡¯s two Rank-2 Qinghong Birds. After hatching, with enough medicinal pills and food, they could swiftly be nurtured to Rank-2.


    Originally, Chen Mobai thought that Foundation Establishment practitioners who could all fly wouldn¡¯t have any need for the Qinghong Birds.


    However, contrary to his expectations, several of those practitioners in the hall eagerly approached the eggs with gleaming eyes.


    ¡°Junior brother, those of us with flying artifacts are actually few. Many Foundation Establishment practitioners who fly through manipulating their Qi find it extremely exhausting on their spiritual power. Therefore, they typically keep a flying spirit beast or a flying artifact,¡± Liang Jinggui explained


    Flying artifacts have limited uses, only for flying. If added to the defense prohibition, the price would become extremely high.


    However, flying spirit beasts are different. Beast Spirit Eggs certainly cost less, plus they grow. The Liang family¡¯s Qinghong birds are famously known far and wide.


    Offspring of Rank-2 Qinghong Birds represent an unhindered advancement to Rank-2. If they¡¯re lucky, it¡¯s equivalent to having a flying handyman of the Foundation Building Realm.


    In no time, several Foundation Establishment cultivators started competing.


    At this moment, Yuan Hongyuan came over. No one knew what he whispered to Liang Jinggui, but soon they both vanished to the back hall.


    Soon, Liang Jinggui emerged with a delighted expression on his face.


    ¡°I hit the jackpot! For my two Beast Spirit Eggs and a hundred doses of the Open-spirit Pill and the Blood Qi-Pill, I¡¯ve traded a Rank-3 Immortal Peach.¡±


    Liang Jinggui didn¡¯t hide anything and told Chen Mobai and Fu Xiuzuo about his transaction with Yuan Hongyuan.


    The Open-Spirit Pill and Blood Qi Pill are the best medicinal pills for nurturing spirit beasts. One dose costs 10 spirit stones. The pill formulas belong to the Divine Wood Sect. However, through his relations with Liang Yanyou, the Liang family can also use those formulas in exchange for an annual fee to the sect.


    Obviously, the value of two Qinghong Bird eggs didn¡¯t equate to a Rank-3 Immortal Peach. So, Liang Jinggui had to make up for it with the Open-Spirit Pill and Blood Qi Pill.


    ¡°Oh, I never would have thought Yuan Hongyuan would be willing to pick an Immortal Peach from Black Cloud Mountain.¡±


    Hearing this, Fu Xiuzuo couldn¡¯t help but glance at his storage bag. Even though he didn¡¯t hold any hope of reaching Core Formation, he still hoped to reach Perfection in his Foundation Establishment stage before his life ended. So when he heard of such a spiritual object, he couldn¡¯t help but want to acquire one.


    ¡°The Rank-3 Immortal Peach has five fruits left. They¡¯re 5,000 spirit stones each. Alternatively, you could exchange them with equivalent precious natural resources or medicinal pills.¡±


    At this point, Yuan Hongyuan stood up. He took out from his storage bag a palm-sized peach fruit, which was brightly red with a slight yellowish tinge.


    As soon as this Rank-3 Immortal Peach was unveiled, the hall was filled with a delicate and refreshing fragrance that was soothing to minds and hearts.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye noticed the extremely powerful and pure spiritual energy condensed into a liquid state within the peach, serene and stable.


    If consumed and refined, it could probably help his Pure Yang Scroll immediately break through to the 4th level of Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai sighed, glancing at his spirit stones.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    I¡¯m really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. I can¡¯t even afford one.


    At that moment, both Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Star Heaven Corporation stepped forth and purchased a Rank-3 Immortal Peach each for 5,000 spirit stones.


    If it weren¡¯t for the rumored reduction of effects by half when consuming a second fruit, Lou Xuelong would have even been tempted to buy all five.


    Then, Hong Xu, who made a huge profit from selling pill formulas, also bought one.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t bring that many spirit stones with me this time. Brother Liang and junior Brother Chen, could you lend me some? I¡¯ll go to the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Spirit Stone Shop to get them back for you later,¡± Fu Xiuzuo said, looking at the dwindling stack, anxiously flipping through his storage bag before he asked them sheepishly.

 Chapter 598 - Chapter 598: Chapter 387 Soul Nourishing Wood_3

    Chapter 598: Chapter 387 Soul Nourishing Wood_3


    Despite being the patriarch of the Fu Family, he only had a little over three thousand spirit stones on him.


    Liang Jinggui and Chen Mobai nodded, each providing him with one thousand.


    Although Chen Mobai actually wanted one too, even without this Immortal Peach, if he were to consume the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water from the Immortal Sect, he should be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Level Four within a year.


    So after some consideration, he restrained himself and decided not to purchase it.


    Following Fu Xiuzuo, the host, Wang Gongdao, also bought one.


    In a blink of an eye, only the last one was left.


    Quite a few Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators were communicating with Yuan Hongyuan in hushed voices, seemingly wanting to make an exchange with other items, but all of their offers were refused.


    Just when the last piece seemed to be unsold, the Tang siblings, who had come with Hong Xu, suddenly made their move, claiming this Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruit for themselves.


    Seeing Hong Xu give some spirit stones to Tang¡¯s siblings, Chen Mobai had a rough idea of the wealth of a loose cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    People like Liang Jinggui and Fu Xiuzuo from large families at the Foundation Establishment Level could mobilize tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, however, these were the family properties, and they needed a justifiable cause to mobilize them.


    On the other hand, the regular Loose Cultivators generally had about a thousand spirit stones saved up. Including their magic artifacts and other possessions, their total wealth could amount to about five thousand spirit stones.


    Compared to indulgently spending at the exchange meeting and generously offering up nearly fifty thousand spirit stones, the cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness seemed quite poor.


    As a Divine Wood Sect Monk whose status was second only to Lou Xuelong¡¯s, Chen Mobai had barely made any purchases at the exchange meeting.


    If not for reserving a Fire in Stone Seed, the miscellaneous cultivators present would have begun to suspect whether the monks of the Divine Wood Sect were even poorer than they were.


    ¡°This is a piece of Soul Nourishing Wood that we siblings obtained from a Secret Realm. Its grade is absolutely above Rank-2. We would like to exchange it for fifty thousand spirit stones.¡±


    Just when Chen Mobai and others thought that the exchange meeting was about to end, the Tang siblings, who had just bought an Immortal Peach Fruit from Yuan Hongyuan, brought out a section of black, arm-thick, and half a meter long trunk.


    This trunk seemed to have been severed at the waist and the dark branches at the top were still intact, from which thin strands of black smoke could faintly be seen.


    ¡°May I take a look?¡±


    The speaker was another Foundation Establishment female cultivator from the Star Heaven Commerce Group who seemed to know something about the Soul Nourishing Wood. The siblings knew she was the most likely buyer, hence, they happily handed over the wood to her.


    ¡°It barely qualifies as a Rank-3 Soul Nourishing Wood and could be helpful for Foundation Establishment cultivators in refining their divine senses and stabilizing their spiritual minds.¡±


    The female cultivator¡¯s name was Qu XiuXian, who was a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master. After inspecting the Soul Nourishing Wood, she offered her candid opinion.


    ¡°What a shame it¡¯s been severed.¡±


    Qu XiuXian sighed and remarked that the Soul Nourishing Wood was a rare treasure. If a Gold Core cultivator were to fail in the Nascent Soul Formation, having a complete Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood could help in leaving the body and transforming it into a Legal Body Nascent Soul.¡±


    Although weaker than a regular Nascent Soul, it can still sweep anyone below the Nascent Soul stage.¡±


    However, after the Tang siblings¡¯ Soul Nourishing Wood was severed, it had lost the chance to grow further.


    ¡°If no one else is offering, I am willing to purchase it for ten thousand spirit stones.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After the appraisal, Lou Xuelong had a chat with Qu XiuXian, then turned to the Tang siblings and made his offer.


    Despite the high offer, for the Tang siblings it seemed low. After exchanging a few glances, they eventually shook their heads, refusing the offer.


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai was pondering a question.


    If he divided his mindfulness into divine sense and guided the formless puppet with it from the Soul Nourishing Wood while his main body returned to the Immortal Sect, could he possibly avoid the dizzy spells and the painful effects of divine sense fragmentation arising from the current dichotomy?


    Or did he need two Soul Nourishing Woods, one acting respectively on the divided divine sense and the Body Sea of Consciousness?

 Chapter 599 - Chapter 599: Chapter 388: Trinity Divine Water_1

    Chapter 599: Chapter 388: Trinity Divine Water_1


    What a pity that the Soul Nourishing Wood was too expensive. Chen Mobai could only keep this in mind, ready to seek this spiritual object for Dividing Mind into Thoughts when he had the chance.


    After the exchange meeting, Wang Gongdao invited Chen Mobai, Fu Xiuzuo, and Liang Jinggui for tea, and they gladly agreed.


    Fu Xiuzuo even took out time to run an errand and later returned the thousand spirit stones that Chen Mobai and Liang Jinggui had sponsored.


    Three days later, Chen Mobai used his downgraded Qingyang Fire Seeds to exchange for the Fire in Stone seeds from Lou Xuelong.


    ¡°Chen Daoist friend, if you have extra Qingyang Fire Seeds in the future, I am willing to buy them at the same price.¡±


    Having obtained the Qingyang Fire Seed, Lou Xuelong seemed very pleased. Chen Mobai laughed and nodded in agreement.


    ¡°I saw a complete Fire in Stone at the exchange meeting. It¡¯s just a pity that I didn¡¯t have enough spirit stones, or I would definitely want to acquire it.¡±


    Chen Mobai and Lou Xuelong started to converse. The latter also seemed interested in making friends and talked about the origins of the Fire in Stone.


    ¡°This true fire was refined by Uncle Mo. He is already in the late stages of Core Formation and has begun preparing for Nascent Soul Formation. Therefore, he has been leading the Star Heaven business association across three territories¨CEast Wu, Eastern Wasteland, and East Barbarians¨Cfor the past decade or so, trying to earn enough contributions to exchange for the Tri-light God Water from the sect.¡±


    ¡°Oh, what is this Tri-light God Water? Is it a baby-forming spiritual object of your sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai knew nothing about the baby-forming spiritual objects in the Tianhe Realm and took the opportunity to ask Lou Xuelong, a disciple of Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    ¡°Indeed, the Tri-light God Water is a supreme spiritual object refined by my sect from the essence of the sun, moon, and stars. It can treat all injuries and diseases, even regenerate flesh and bones, and revive the dead. Consuming it during Nascent Soul Formation provides a second chance if the first fails. Even the taoist children from the Holy Land in East Land often seek it from our sect.¡±


    Lou Xuelong spoke proudly. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but yearn for it after hearing this.


    Isn¡¯t this just equivalent to allowing any cultivator to use the Lasting Spring Cultivation once without any conditions!


    If there¡¯s a chance in the future, he must also seek a dose of Tri-light God Water from Star Heaven Dao Sect.


    ¡°Our ancestor, Zhou, of my Divine Wood Sect is also preparing for Nascent Soul Formation. I wonder if we can purchase a dose of Tri-light God Water from your sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai used the name of the Divine Wood Sect and Zhou Shengqing to probe the price of the Tri-light God Water.


    ¡°Chen Daoist friend, the refining of Tri-light God Water is extremely troublesome. It requires several of our Nascent Soul ancestors to spend decades refining sunlight, moonlight, and starlight from beyond the sky. It¡¯s extremely valuable. Usually, only the Gold Core cultivators who have made significant contributions to the sect are eligible to exchange for it. If outsiders want to buy it, they will only have the chance at the time of the Beidou Conference.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai understood the Eastern Wasteland well now, he only knew the names of the remaining five major regions and the names of the top sects and forces outside of Eastern Wasteland.


    He didn¡¯t understand many of the terms Lou Xuelong mentioned.


    But he had the advantage of asking when he didn¡¯t understand.


    ¡°What is the Beidou Conference?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the grandest exchange meeting our Star Heaven Dao Sect holds every cycle of sixty years. It¡¯s a grand event in the Eastern Region. To attract the participation of the major sects from the holy lands in East Land, our ancestors will showcase seven top-grade spiritual objects and magic artifacts. Generally speaking, there¡¯s always Tri-light God Water among them. At that time, it depends on whether your sect can offer a price that can surpass all other sects in the Eastern Region.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai realized that the chances of the Divine Wood Sect obtaining the Tri-light God Water were almost nil.


    Even if they look at the entire Eastern Wasteland, Divine Wood Sect can¡¯t outcompetes the other six major sects in wealth, let alone outcompete all six regions in the entire Eastern Region.


    ¡°Thank you, Lou Daoist friend, for your explanation.¡±


    Chen Mobai chatted for a while longer with Lou Xuelong and then excused himself.


    The Fire in Stone seed was sealed in a grey wooden box. While waiting for the exchange meeting to end, Chen Mobai slowly refined this True Fire in his rented cave dwelling.


    With his experience in refining the Qingyang Fire and his mastery of the Pure Yang Scroll, the process of refining the Fire in Stone was smooth.


    A wisp of grey-white fire lighted on his fingertip. Unlike the burning heat of the Qingyang fire, this Fire in Stone carried just a hint of warmth. Touching it felt like holding a cup of warm water, but unbeknownst to you, it would turn touched tangible objects into powder.


    ¡°This Fire in Stone is an excellent match for alchemy.¡±


    Upon seeing the grey-white fire on his fingertip turning the qing stone into dust, Chen Mobai thought of this.


    During alchemy, it¡¯s necessary to completely align the medicinal properties, and before that, there¡¯s a process of crushing. With this Fire in Stone, it¡¯s easy to achieve this, ensuring no residual substances, and perfect release of medicinal properties.


    For Chen Mobai, acquiring the Fire in Stone was mainly planning for the future.


    He already owned the Fire in Wood, the Fire in Stone; only needing the Fire in Air, then he could try to cultivate the ¡°Samadhi True Fire,¡± a widely known immortal technique.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Fortunately, the Dance Tool Dao Academy also had a collection, so he didn¡¯t need to spend a huge amount of points to exchange it from the Immortal Door Spell Library.


    Because Chen Mobai had the Fire in Wood early on, he had been focusing on the Immortal Technique of ¡°Samadhi True Fire¡± for a while.


    It was a pity that to exchange for this Immortal Technique from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he would have to demonstrate that he had mastered three kinds of True Fire. Chen Mobai still lacked the Fire in Air.


    This Fire in Air, also called ¡°Sky Fire,¡± is a type of True Fire naturally formed in the void.


    For thousands of years, there hasn¡¯t been any naturally generated Sky Fire in the Immortal Door. There are various reasons for this, but based on Yuan Xu¡¯s theory of artificially synthesizing Geomagnetic Qi, artificial synthesis of Sky Fire has been achieved at the Immortal Door.

 Chapter 600 - Chapter 600: Chapter 388: Three-Light Divine Water_2

    Chapter 600: Chapter 388: Three-Light Divine Water_2


    However, Chen Mobai had previously felt that the Samadhi True Fire was quite distant to him, so he had not paid attention to this aspect.


    He made a mental note of this, planning to look up information related to Fire in Air after he finished touring the five major markets in Jian Country at the Daoist Academy.


    After playing with the Fire in Stone seed for a while, Chen Mobai swallowed it. The Fire Spirit Body allowed him, to be immune to the harm of the True Fire.


    With the addition of the Fire in Stone in his stomach, Chen Mobai felt a slight liveliness in the Earth Attribute Sword Smite that had just been condensed on his little finger.


    Three days ago, Chen Mobai had finally refined all the Rank-3 ointments made by Qing Nu into the fingertips of his right hand.


    He could begin to cultivate the Five Elements Swords Slaughter Formation he has been anticipating for a long time.


    Since the Five Elements are based on earth, it is best to practice the Earth Attribute Sword Smite first, and then cultivate the others one by one in the order of the Five Elements circulation.


    According to Chen Mo Bai¡¯s estimate, if he fully concentrated for a month, he could complete the cultivation of his Five Elements Sword Finger.


    At that time, he would have another great killing move, and his sense of security would rise again.


    Just as Chen Mobai was preparing to cultivate the Earth Attribute Sword Smite again, a Message Talisman was delivered. It was from his main disciple, Liu Wenbo, reminding him that the sale had already ended.


    It¡¯s finally over?


    As soon as the news of Chen Mobai¡¯s exit was announced, it immediately reached the ears of Yuan Hongyuan and others, who breathed a sigh of relief.


    They planned the assassination in the next White Moon Market; the longer Chen Mobai stayed in Tiankui Market, the more pressure they felt.


    After all, this was the home base of the Divine Wood Sect. Once exposed, none of them would be able to escape.


    Star Fallen Square.


    Chen Mobai paid 630 Spirit Stones and obtained the items he won from the Star Heaven Corporation.


    In addition to the Lung Gold Qi and Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique, and the Five Elemental Stones, there were a second rank Pure Bamboo from the Kong Sang Valley and a piece of Beast Skin and an Iron Bead from Strange Character Shop which were bid to confuse the lamp holder.


    But the lamp holder he was most concerned about was auctioned by someone else.


    This is somewhat disappointing.


    Chen Mobai sat in a compartment on the second floor of the Divine Wood Sect Shop, looked at the several Spiritual Objects on the table, and fell into thought.


    After a long time, he sighed and didn¡¯t seek out Lou Xuelong to ask who had taken the lamp holder.


    After all, the reason the sale could attract many Loose Cultivators was because Star Heaven Corporation promised to keep the buyer¡¯s identity confidential.


    Although this is the Eastern Wilderness, and the Divine Wood Sect is well-known, they would definitely not allow Lou Xuelong to damage the reputation of the family¡¯s corporation.


    Therefore, Chen Mobai decided not to engage in such a meaningless act.


    Moreover, even if the Five-Color Lotus Lamp and the lamp holder were intact, he wouldn¡¯t have the method to light the lamp wick, and this Rank-3 Magic Artifact would still be unusable.


    Consider it as having no fate with this lamp holder.


    After understanding this, Chen Mobai was no longer worried. He packed up these Spiritual Objects on the table, notified his two disciples, and planned to leave for White Moon Market tomorrow.


    At a valley outside Tiankui Market.


    Yuan Hongyuan, Hong Xu, and the Tang siblings stood in three different directions, silent, seemingly waiting for someone.


    ¡°Strange, the Yinming Messenger has never been late.¡±


    The square-faced, big-eared Hong Xu had a good relationship with both Yuan Hongyuan and the Tang siblings, and he broke the silence first.


    They were all from the Huangquan organization, had received orders to assassinate Chen Mobai, and had all received early rewards from the organization.


    Today was the time for the main commander of the action to come and connect with them. The person who came was a core member of Huangquan, a Yinming Messenger.


    ¡°Maybe something held him up. Let¡¯s wait another hour. If the messenger doesn¡¯t come, we will act according to the original plan.¡±


    Yuan Hongyuan said coldly, Tang Da from the Tang siblings remained silent, while Tang sister giggled and nod, about to liven up the atmosphere, when a chilly, gloomy coldness suddenly protruded from the ground.


    A stream of dark ghost energy drilled out of the ground, transforming in an instant into a tall, thin messenger with a pale face and wearing a high hat.


    ¡°Sorry, I encountered an artifact in Star Fallen Square that the organization had lost for a long time. It took some time to get it.¡±


    The Yinming Messenger spoke feebly. He looked like a piece of paper, wavering as the mountain wind blew, seemingly about to disperse at any moment.


    ¡°When the target is in White Moon Market, I will immediately cut off the Bai family¡¯s teleportation array. After killing the target, I¡¯ll loot the whole market. You guys should head over to the neighboring Snow Country before the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s backup arrives, and teleport to the Eastern Yi Territory via the Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s teleportation array. Regardless of how much influence the Divine Wood Sect holds in the Eastern Wilderness, they won¡¯t be able to act recklessly within the Eastern Yi Territory.¡±


    After hearing the Yinming Messenger¡¯s plan, Yuan Hongyuan, Hong Xu, and the Tang siblings exchanged a glance, nodding in agreement.


    ¡°We will meet in three days.¡±


    All seemed to be in agreement. The Yinming Messenger nodded with satisfaction, then was whisked away by the mountain breeze and turned into black smoke, disappearing from their sight.


    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll go ahead.¡±


    Hong Xu cupped his fist towards Yuan Hongyuan and the Tang siblings, then turned into a streak of fire and flew away, disappearing from sight in an instant.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, I don¡¯t know if you have any extra Immortal Peach Fruit. We siblings only have one which is not enough to divide, after looting the White Moon Market, we will certainly have enough spirit stones to give you.¡±


    Miss Tang said, smiling coquettishly at Yuan Hongyuan.


    ¡°We¡¯ll see.¡±


    Yuan Hongyuan simply responded with this, then disappeared from the valley.


    All the members of their Huangquan team had now set out for White Moon Market, each employing their own methods.


    Not long afterwards, Yuan Hongyuan and Hong Xu surprisingly ended up traveling together again.


    ¡°Where did the Tang siblings get the Soul Nourishing Wood?¡±


    Yuan Hongyuan asked Hong Xu directly, indicating the two had a deep relationship.


    ¡°It¡¯s from Huangquan Headquarters. Tang Da voluntarily walked the Huangquan Road in order to break through and brought back that Soul Nourishing Wood.¡±


    ¡°Huangquan Road!¡±


    At the sound of these three words, fear crossed Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s face.


    It was said to be the road to the Underworld. Near the end of a cultivator¡¯s lifespan, those who cross this road can transform into ghost cultivators and gain eternal life, but they would lose all their memories and descend into eternal torment as fierce ghosts.


    And that was the birthplace of the organization Huangquan.


    ¡°So, Tang Da is now a fierce ghost?¡±


    ¡°More or less, but it seems that part of his memory remained. Maybe Huangquan did something or it¡¯s the effect of the Soul Nourishing Wood.¡±


    Hong Xu nodded, giving his own judgement.


    ¡°Did the organization give you the Huangquan Holy Fruit?¡±


    Yuan Hongyuan suddenly asked.


    ¡°Huangquan Holy Fruit! The organization is really willing to make such a large investment to kill this Chen Guixian. You¡¯re a lucky guy!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Hong Xu looked surprised. Evidently, he hadn¡¯t been given the Huangquan Holy Fruit, and he looked at Yuan Hongyuan with envy and suspicion.


    ¡°Since you¡¯ve taken the Huangquan Holy Fruit, why is your cultivation level only at mid-Foundation Establishment?¡±


    ¡°I used a talisman to conceal my cultivation level. Breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage in a short period of time would be too conspicuous, so I need to disguise it.¡±


    Hearing Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s explanation, Hong Xu nodded in understanding. He then took out a Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruit from his storage bag.


    ¡°Here, give me back my spirit stones.¡±


    During the exchange meeting, Hong Xu had been acting on behalf of Yuan Hongyuan. He had already consumed the Immortal Peach Fruit, so it was no longer useful to him.


    After Yuan Hongyuan took the Immortal Peach Fruit and handed back Hong Xu¡¯s spirit stones, he asked another question.


    ¡°The Tang siblings borrowed spirit stones from you to buy a Immortal Peach Fruit. What did they use as collateral?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°No collateral. Anyway, after looting White Moon Market, they will definitely have enough spirit stones to return.¡±


    Hong Xu waved it off unconcernedly. After all, they were all members of the same organization. He had cooperated with the Tang siblings several times and somewhat trusted them.


    ¡°Hopefully.¡±


    With these words, Yuan Hongyuan and Hong Xu once again separated, moving towards White Moon Market on their own.


    At the same time, Chen Mobai was also leaving Tiankui Market with his two disciples.

 Chapter 601 - Chapter 601: Chapter 389: Sword Sha shows his power_1

    Chapter 601: Chapter 389: Sword Sha shows his power_1


    The White Moon Market was already located at the northernmost part of Jian Country, and beyond it lay the Snow Country, the territory of another major alliance in the Eastern Wilderness, the Snow-blowing Palace.


    Chen Mobai arrived and successfully completed the inspection task without any issues.


    The manager here, Jin Guozhang, appeared to be a reliable cultivator with all accounts in order.


    ¡°Sir Town Guard, this is the Bai family¡¯s ¡°White Mist Spirit Bud¡±, a Rank-2 Spiritual Tea cultivated from a branch of the ¡°Snow Needle Immortal Bud¡±. Tea Pills made from these Spiritual Tea leaves are the best medicines for improving a cultivator¡¯s Divine Sense.¡±


    Upon hearing Jin Guozhang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai raised the transparent bluish-green tea in his hand and gently took a sip. Indeed, a refreshing aura welled up, making his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion utterly clear.


    Unfortunately, he was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his Divine Sense Realm was at a bottleneck. To him, this pot of precious spiritual tea only made him feel invigorated.


    In contrast, after Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan drank the tea, their complexions were rosy and their eyes were bright, obviously benefitting a lot from the tea.


    ¡°Jin, I wonder if this Bai family¡¯s tea is for sale?¡±


    ¡°To answer the Town Guard, the Bai family has a special shop selling tea seeds in the White Moon Market. A Rank-1 tea seed costs 10 Spirit Stones per plant, while a Rank-2 one costs 200 Spirit Stones per plant.¡±


    ¡°What if I want to buy a branch of the Rank-3 ¡®Snow Needle Immortal Bud¡¯?¡±


    ¡°For that, you would have to personally request it from the Bai family¡¯s headquarters at Snow Peak. Given your status as the Town Guard, the Bai family would surely agree.¡±


    No sooner had Jin Guozhang finished speaking than Bai Dingxian, the patriarch of the Bai family, already came to visit.


    ¡°Hahaha, I have long heard from Brother Zeng that the Divine Wood Sect has produced an unrivaled Sword Cultivation Genius. Today, that reputation does not seem to be in vain.¡±


    Bai Dingxian was a rosy-faced old man. He was only slightly younger than Liang Jinggui but remained youthful in appearance. His hair was as white as a crane¡¯s, and his beard glowed brilliantly. He looked spirited, showing no signs of old age.


    ¡°Greetings, Clan Leader Bai.¡±


    Bai Dingxian and the Divine Wood Sect had excellent relationships, especially with the Alchemy and Spirit Plant Departments. Apart from having the largest tea garden in the entire Eastern Wilderness, the Bai family also cultivated several hundred acres of herb fields.


    When the Divine Wood Sect performed Alchemy, they occasionally needed to purchase herbs from the Bai family.


    Even the tea pills produced by the Bai family every year had a portion which they supplied exclusively to the Divine Wood Sect.


    Chen Mobai had seen this on the exchange list of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, but he was not interested in the Elixirs that the Tianhe Realm had to offer, so he was unaware of the prices.


    ¡°Just so happens that a Snow Needle Tea Tree recently had its buds plucked and needs to be trimmed. If the Town Guard could wait a couple of days, I will have someone from my clan deliver it.¡±


    Bai Dingxian readily agreed to Chen Mobai¡¯s request and even asked whether he wanted any other types of tea.


    Because a Rank-3 tea tree branch planted in the Giant Tree Ridge had failed to thrive despite numerous attempts, while regular Rank-1 tea tree had a fifty percent chance of growing successfully.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded in gratitude. Afterwards, he inquired Bai Dingxian about the situation in the White Moon Market.


    Just then, Bai Dingxian¡¯s expression changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up.


    ¡°Who dares! Who could it be!¡±


    With a thunderous yell, Bai Dingxian shot out of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s shop like a streak of Escaping Light.


    At first, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t react. But he soon felt a violent surge in the spiritual energy of the earth veins. This was a sign that the town¡¯s Defense Array had been activated.


    ¡°Not good, there¡¯s a powerful enemy attacking the market!¡±


    At this point, several Loose Cultivators outside began shouting, and chaos ensued in the White Moon Market.


    ¡°Both of you, follow Jin¡¯s commands and guard the sect¡¯s Spirit Stone depot here. If the array is broken, have the Sect Disciples scatter and flee with the Spirit Stones, Magic Artifacts, and Elixirs. Remember, safety first.¡±


    Chen Mobai acted immediately. After giving his orders to Jin Guozhang and the two disciples present, he didn¡¯t wait for their response. He immediately hopped on his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and flew out after Bai Dingxian.


    Barely reaching the skies above the market, he saw three streams of spiritual light flying in from the east. Each carried a dark talisman, ruthlessly crashing onto the Defense Array of the White Moon Market.


    Simultaneously, two streams of Foundation Establishment spirit light shockingly rose within the market itself. They had already seized the upper hand and destroyed two vital points of the Array.


    With successive flashes of spiritual light, the shield formed by the array flickered on and off¨Cit seemed likely to collapse at any moment.


    With a resonating ¡®Hum¡¯, Bai Dingxian rushed out of a shop in the market that had just exploded. He was furiously wielding the Array Plate, channeling an extremely valuable top-grade Spirit Stone into it to stimulate the Defense Array¡¯s power and resist the five intruders.

    ¡°Damn it. Part of the Spirit Vein¡¯s flow has been changed. Not only has the Array¡¯s power been weakened, even the Teleportation Array has been severed and can¡¯t be activated.¡±


    Bai Dingxian knew that the only one who could save the White Moon Market now was Chen Mobai, the number one Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect. So, while stimulating the Defensive Array¡¯s power, he also explained the current situation in the simplest terms possible.


    ¡°External enemies haven¡¯t broken in yet, but chaos has already broken out inside.¡±


    Chen Mobai, hovering in mid-air, sighed as he witnessed various Loose Cultivators exploiting their higher cultivation levels to attack other Cultivators. They brazenly robbed various medicines and talismans, showcasing the worst of human nature.


    He even saw several Loose Cultivators form groups to attack the major shops led by the Divine Wood Sect and the Bai family after robbing some street stalls.

 Chapter 602 - Chapter 602: Chapter 389: Sword Sha Shows Power_2

    Chapter 602: Chapter 389: Sword Sha Shows Power_2


    It seems like they planned on stealing and then fleeing.


    The Divine Wood Sect Spirit Stone Shop, which stores nearly half of the spirit stones in the White Moon Market, is now surrounded by various loose cultivators.


    Chen Mobai saw his two disciples guarding the entrance of the Spirit Stone Shop with Jin Guozhang. The twenty disciples of the Divine Wood Sect in the White Moon Market were all present, having drawn their magic artifacts to confront the hundreds of loose cultivators that kept swarming in.


    Boom!


    At that moment, the vein of earth was changed. The array, which could not connect to the spiritual energy of the earth vein, could not stand the continuous bombardment from the inside and outside by five Foundation Establishment cultivators. A huge hole broke open.


    The three Foundation Establishment cultivators outside the array immediately entered one after the other. One of them roared ferociously and brought up numerous ghost shadows, dividing into dozens of clones like ghosts directly rolling towards Chen Mobai.


    The rest of the Foundation Establishment cultivators released their spells while circling Chen Mobai, aiming to completely destroy the protective array where the spirit vein node of the market was.


    This scene completely triggered the greed in the hearts of the loose cultivators. Upon one man¡¯s shout, many daring rogue cultivators already jumped into the backyard of the Spirit Stone Shop.


    A green sword light raced like a fish, blood splattered, and three heads had flown up.


    It was Luo Yixuan manipulating the Divine Wood Sword. With her pretty face cold and eyes frosty, as a third true disciple, she could basically slaughter these mob loose cultivators.


    Liu Wenbo on the other side was also controlling his own flying sword, guarding the front gate of the Spirit Stone Shop, leading sect disciples to resist dozens of Qi practitioners.


    ¡°Senior Brother, it¡¯s time to retreat.¡±


    The Divine Wood Sword passed over, and the heads of two loose cultivators who had attacked Liu Wenbo from behind were cut off by Luo Yixuan. After sweeping the area, she saw more and more cultivators rushing over here, and made the decision to give up.


    ¡°Let¡¯s hold on a little longer, Master is here, everything will be fine.¡±


    Liu Wenbo was controlling the Green Scale Arm Guard, protecting himself and Luo Yixuan. In his hand, he held a spirit stone, supplementing the intense consumption of controlling the Rank-2 magic artifact.


    ¡°Alright, but once our spiritual power loss exceeds fifty percent, we should preserve our lives first as Master ordered.¡±


    Luo Yixuan had no choice but to maintain her spiritual power and hold on a little longer as Liu Wenbo was not retreating. Although she had great confidence in her own master, in the face of five Foundation Establishment cultivators, she estimated that they could hardly spare any effort to take care of them.


    Under such circumstances, it would be better to follow the previously agreed upon plan and retreat first.


    At this moment, a dazzling green light lit up in the sky like the sun.


    Accompanied by a sizzling sound!


    All the cultivators in the market couldn¡¯t help but look up.


    They saw green electricity emitting from a tall figure¡¯s palm, transforming into five dazzling electric light columns in an instant, like thunder spears. They penetrated and ripped through the overwhelming ghost shadows and also blocked the spells unleashed by the other four Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    Along with a scream and a burning smell, the Foundation Establishment cultivator¡¯s head who was rushing towards Chen Mobai was burst by the Yimu Divine Thunder. The ghost shadows all over the sky disappeared, leaving only a corpse falling from the sky and heavily hitting the street in the center of the market.


    After penetrating a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the green lightning column still had momentum. It heavily hit the ground, brutally sweeping around the outer perimeter of the Divine Wood Sect Spirit Stone Shop.


    Accompanied by screams one after another and blood mist, the continuously rushing cultivators in the White Moon Market evaporated seventy to eighty percent due to this Yimu Divine Thunder Technique.


    Since the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect were all inside the Spirit Stone Store, they were not affected by this powerful thunder technique.


    But they witnessed how a dozen loose cultivators who were rushing at them with ferocious faces were turned to ashes scattered on the ground after a thick lightning column hit and swept across the ground.


    The terror of such mighty power finally showed these inexperienced loose cultivators how terrifying Foundation Establishment cultivators can be.


    Even those at Qi Cultivation Perfection had no power to resist in front of Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    ¡°How was I so blinded, trying to rob the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s shops!¡±


    ¡°Damn it, I can only escape to the cultivation world in the Snow Country now!¡±


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s Yimu Divine Thunder Technique strike, all the loose cultivators who had lost their rationality and wanted to loot the Spirit Stone Store came to their senses.


    Liu Wenbo and the others, who were still struggling, seeing that three of the Qi cultivation Level-9 cultivators who had escaped the lightning wash turned around and fled, even forgot to chase after them in their shock.


    Luo Yixuan, on the other hand, had a cold light flashing in her beautiful eyes. Her snow-white right hand manipulated a stream, and as she opened her mouth, her Ice Technique began to form three ice arrows, putting a thoroughly chilling end to the enemy trailing furthest behind.


    ¡°Junior Sister, never pursue a desperate enemy. It¡¯s more important for us to hold our position.¡±


    Liu Wenbo thought Luo Yixuan wanted to pursue and kill the enemies, but she shook her head, her face filled with worry as she looked toward the sky.


    The area around Chen Mobai was already filled with Foundation Establishment cultivators.


    By this point, everyone knew that this massacre was aimed at Chen Mobai, the number one sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Before my eyes, all your disguises are worthless.¡±


    All the Foundation Establishment cultivators invading from the White Moon Market were dressed in black robes and black masks, with a prohibition against divine sense overlaid on them, clearly aiming to keep their identities hidden.


    However, as Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eyes swept over them, he could clearly see the true faces hidden beneath the masks.


    ¡°Yuan Hongyuan!¡±


    ¡°Hong Xu!¡±


    ¡°Tang siblings!¡±


    ¡°The only person whose origin I didn¡¯t know has already been killed by me.¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed at the four people surrounding him and accurately called out their names. They all looked at each other, then removed their masks, their eyes cold.


    ¡°Set up the formation and kill him.¡±


    With the Yinming Messenger reduced to charcoal, Yuan Hongyuan was now the person with the highest cultivation level. He let out a stern yell and pulled a huge Array Flag out of his storage bag.


    Hong Xu and the Tang siblings similarly pulled out the same kind of black Array Flags. With the four of them joining forces, a black cloud began to fill the sky immediately, like a continuous mass of dark clouds tumbling down, covering half of the sky above the White Moon Market.


    ¡°Mister Town Guard, I¡¯ll go to the Divine Wood Sect and call for reinforcements!¡±


    Seeing that Yuan Hongyuan and the other three completely disregarded him, Bai Dingxian was both scared and happy. He shouted to Chen Mobai, who was already shrouded in darkness and gradually obscured, took this rare opportunity to break free from the array, boarded a flying shuttle, and fled the White Moon Market without looking back.


    ¡°A miserable coward.¡±


    Seeing Bai Dingxian escape, Yuan Hongyuan disdainfully spoke, and then, within Huangquan¡¯s Large Formation of Ten Thousand Ghosts, he unfolded his own Array of Five Clouds.


    After the two formations were deployed, Yuan Hongyuan confidently unleashed his powerful strength at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Kill him, then loot the resources in the market, and withdraw as soon as possible.¡±


    After Bai Dingxian¡¯s escape, he would quickly inform the Divine Wood Sect about the situation. However, there would still be some time before the sect could send people here, enough time for them to carry out their plan.


    ¡°With the Yinming Messenger gone, we¡¯ll get a bigger share.¡±


    Hong Xu said greedily, then waved the black Array Flag in his hand, continuously injecting his spiritual power into the Large Array of Ten Thousand Ghosts. Within a blink of an eye, the black clouds had become so dense that nothing could be seen. Within them, shadowy phantom figures of fierce ghosts began emerge, about to devour Chen Mobai who was at the center of it all.


    But at this moment, a golden sun rose at the center of the Array of Ten Thousand Ghosts.


    Above Chen Mobai¡¯s head was the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, which exploded with a burst of Pure Yang Fire, incinerating all the shadowy ghost figures and black clouds around him.


    He looked slightly puzzled as he uncorked the lid of the yellow gourd tied at his waist.

    Then, under the disbelieving eyes of Yuan Hongyuan and the others, who were preparing to pour in their spiritual power to trigger the second change in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Array, an orange brilliance emerged.


    The orange brilliance quickly extended to become a kilometer long light, swirling around the person at its center, Chen Mobai, perfectly cutting Yuan Hongyuan and the others in half.


    In the midst of the bloodshed, their body-protecting magic items and spirit talismans didn¡¯t even get a chance to be activated. In a mess of scattered light, they felt a severe pain around their waist, and then discovered that their bodies had already been severed into two parts.


    ¡°I really don¡¯t understand, how did you dare to try to kill me with your abilities?¡±


    With a puzzled look, Chen Mobai retracted the Primordial Yang Sword Evil and closed the lid of the yellow-gourd.

 Chapter 603 - Chapter 603: Chapter 390 Yinming Messenger_1

    Chapter 603: Chapter 390 Yinming Messenger_1


    After slaying Yuan Hongyuan and his three allies, Chen Mobai was about to collect their bodies. Suddenly, a bizarre chill arose from behind him, then a terrifyingly sharp aura attacked his head like a blade.


    ¡°A sixth one!?¡±


    Chen Mobai was shocked. The strength of this sixth attacker significantly surpassed that of Yuan Hongyuan and his group, indicating that he was likely at the perfection stage of Foundation Establishment. The timing of his attack was also well-calculated.


    It was exactly at the moment when Chen Mobai had let down his guard after killing all of his adversaries.


    But Chen Mobai had clearly scanned all directions using his Void Spirit Eye and only saw five adversaries at the Foundation Establishment level. From where did this extra one emerge?


    However, there was no time to think about this now. Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense quickly transformed the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± refined by Ming Yuhua into a protective energy barrier that formed behind him.


    But this attacker, who had been waiting for a long time, was very powerful. His frigid sharp blade was briefly stopped by the energy barrier but easily tore through it and was now pointing at the Jade Pillow Acupoint at the back of Chen Mobai¡¯s head.


    Just as he was about to be struck, a huge semi-transparent finger bone appeared out of nowhere and blocked the frigid black blade. With a slight grind, it crushed the attacker into black mist.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    The All Laws Persona was intrinsically connected with Chen Mobai¡¯s mind, this sensation of crushing something intangible startled him, making him turn around in surprise.


    Having seen his ambusher, he finally understood why he hadn¡¯t detected him earlier.


    Because this wasn¡¯t the sixth opponent, but the Cultivator Chen Mobai had first killed with his Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    However, the body that had been struck by Chen¡¯s Yi Wood Divine Thunder remained on the street. The enormous spiritual power within it had fully exited the corpse and transformed into an indistinct human silhouette made of black mist.


    ¡°What are you?¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t encountered such an entity before. This life form was entirely free from the binding of the physical form, all its strength seemed to have merged into this cloud of black fog, shapeless, formless, and unrestricted.


    ¡°To think, your power is this formidable, youngster.¡±


    After the Yinming Messenger left his physical body, he used his spiritual power to vibrate the air to speak. While speaking, he pulled a small black flag from within the black mist and waved it towards the bodies of the slain Yuan Hongyuan and his three allies.


    Along with ear-piercing screams, the black Array Flags held by the four corpses took flight and merged into the flag in the hand of the Yinming Messenger.


    ¡°Why¡­?¡±


    A desperate voice belonging to Hong Xu echoed. Chen Mobai saw Hong Xu¡¯s soul actually being drawn by the black Array Flag, tied tightly to it. He was unable to free himself despite his struggles.


    ¡°If you had been able to kill him, you would still have your uses. Since you¡¯re dead now, why not put your remains to good use and enhance the power of my Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag.¡±


    After the icy voice of the Yinming Messenger ended, Tang Da¡¯s soul was also extracted and merged into the Array Flag. However, Tang Da¡¯s body, which Chen Mobai had cut in half, began to change.


    His upper and lower body began to merge, flesh quickly sprouting from the wound to reattach himself. His body horrifically expanded, his skin turned black, and two ox horns grew from his head.


    Underworld fierce ghost ¡ª Ox Head!


    With the wave of the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag in the hand of the Yinming Messenger, Tang Da, now transformed into the Ox Head ghost, stood up in the street.


    He had already completely lost his reason. With a wave of his hand, he tore open the shop he landed in, then, the saliva drooling from his mouth, slams the ground with his swollen legs and leaps at Chen Mobai like a cannonball.


    ¡°It seems that he has been transformed into a painless monster, and his recovery ability is very strong. I don¡¯t know if he can recover from being cut into pieces by Primordial Yang Sword Evil? Nevermind, I should play it safe!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye detection had already seen the current state of Tang Da.


    Since there was still an unknown strong opponent, he felt that he could not waste too much time on this painless and untiring Ox Head.


    Chen Mobai spat out a small green Sword Pill which flew out and triturated into the Ox Head¡¯s forehead like a spark.


    Subsequently, a green fire started burning on the Ox Head¡¯s skull and soon engulfed his whole body. Chen Mobai had activated the ¡®Blood Burning¡¯ properties of his Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    Although Ox Head didn¡¯t feel pain or the sensation of burning, when he reached Chen Mobai, his body crumbled into ashes because all the blood and water in his body had dried up due to the Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter!?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon seeing this, the Yinming Messenger was slightly taken aback.


    He hadn¡¯t seen the Primordial Yang Sword Evil before since it was a sword technique from the Immortal Sect. Hence, he had thought that it was a terrifying magic artifact of Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    However, the scene of Ox Head being turned to ashes by a small green Sword Pill, reminded him of similarly horrifying memories he should have forgotten.


    ¡°Alright, now it really is just you.¡±


    Having dealt with the Ox Head, Chen Mobai turned to the swirling black mist of the Yinming Messenger, with the Mysterious Yang Divine Light Shield ready to form and the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror emerging above his head.

 Chapter 604 - Chapter 604: Chapter 390 Yinming Messenger_2

    Chapter 604: Chapter 390 Yinming Messenger_2


    Chen Mobai was somewhat uncertain about the guy standing before him, so he resolved to go all in, seeking to resolve matters as swiftly as possible to avoid complications.


    ¡°Hehe, who would¡¯ve thought that, on a random mission to rob and kill, I¡¯d run into a genius like you!¡±


    After witnessing the Rank-3 Magic Artifact and the Green Flames Sword Evil, the Yinming Messenger, instead of retreating, allowed his black mist form to encase the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag, like a long black dragon. He suddenly circled Chen Mobai and then merged into Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s dead body.


    Sizzling!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyebrows knitted and the Yimu Divine Thunder Technique burst forth again ¨C the striking electric light from his fingertips had already condensed into a massive thunder pillar in his palm, crashing heavily onto Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s dead body.


    However, a dark mist surged from the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag, surprisingly resisting his powerful Thunder method of Rank-3.


    At this point, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s corpse had been occupied by the Yinming Messenger. There was still an orange-red glow flickering at the wound left by the Primordial Yang Sword Evil Slash, reflecting the residue of the Sword¡¯s potent power.


    But the Yinming Messenger seemed not to care, condensing the black mist into a blade and removing another portion of the wound along with the Sword Evil. Then he effortlessly reformed the two separate parts into a new host body.


    ¡°Damn¡­ so it turns out¡­ the primary function of the Huangquan Holy Fruit is this¡­¡±


    Now, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s soul was manifested on the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag. Seeing the Yinming Messenger easily invade his body, he finally reacted with a face full of regret.


    ¡°Have you realized it yet? There is no such spiritual medicine in this world that can let people increase their realm in such a short time.¡±


    Without any care, the Yinming Messenger waved the Hundred Ghost Soul Refining Flag in his hand, and Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s shadow on the flag immediately dulled.


    Crash!


    Meanwhile, Chen Mobai had already pushed the power of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, a Rank-3 Magic Artifact, to his maximum control limit. The pure white and blazing flames of Pure Yang, like a waterfall, showered down on the just parasitic Yinming Messenger.


    With every wave of the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag, a surge of dark mist rose, but the power that managed to resist Yimu Divine Thunder began to back down against the Pure Yang Fire, gradually retreating inch by inch.


    ¡°Huh, your artifact is unexpectedly a Pure Yang Demon-refining legal treasure!¡±


    The Yinming Messenger commented somewhat surprisingly. However, with no choice left, he powered up the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag to its full potential. The many fierce ghosts contained within began to materialize under the cover of the dark mist. In the blink of an eye, there were a hundred of them.


    Then, under the Yinming Messenger¡¯s manipulation of the small, black flag, and following their strange steps, these hundred fierce ghosts formed a Hundred Demons Array in the air.


    The ghastly and cold wave began to form within the array, continuously combating the Pure Yang Fire flames, gradually stabilizing its footing.


    With one sweep of his eyes, Chen Mobai understood the situation before his eyes.


    His Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror had been restrained by the enemy¡¯s Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag. This was not due to his artifact¡¯s inferiority but probably because his opponent¡¯s realm seemed to surpass his own significantly. Plus, employing the formation amplified its power considerably.


    Without any hesitation, he once again uncorked the Yellow Skin Gourd at his waist. The orange-red glow that emerged instantly condensed into a kilometer-long fine line. Like a shooting star streaking across the sky, it once again split Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s corpse, now occupied by the Yinming Messenger, into two parts.


    However, the corpse bore a pale smile. After brushing off the wound¡¯s residual Primordial Yang Sword Evil, it merged again into one, reverting to its original form.


    Chen Mobai promptly spat out a cyan-colored Sword Pill.


    Facing the Green Flames Sword Evil, the Yinming Messenger dared not pretend.


    He started Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s Wuyan Yunluo Large Formation. A water mist covered the sky as he constantly switched positions using the formation.


    While the Green Flames Sword Evil evaporated large pieces of mist every time it fell, the Yinming Messenger dodged ahead of time every time, like a slippery mudfish.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyebrows creased slightly. It was important to note that even when facing Ji Dingjin, a Body Cultivator with Foundational Establishment Perfection, he didn¡¯t find it this hard.


    This Yinming Messenger did not seem to be of merely Foundation Establishment realm.


    ¡°He probably hasn¡¯t noticed that detail yet, it¡¯s almost time.¡±


    In Chen Mobai¡¯s heart, he was planning the death blow against his opponent, while at the same time, the Yinming Messenger was estimating the remaining time the host body could support.


    Even though the Huangquan Holy Fruit was used to refine in advance, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s cultivation level was comparatively lower, only allowing him to demonstrate the strength of a Foundation Establishment Perfection Stage.


    Moreover, because of the intense consumption of Pure Yang Fire from the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, the time he had originally anticipated for its use had now significantly reduced.


    The most crucial thing was that time was not on his side. If the rescue from the Divine Wood Sect arrived, regardless of him possessing an undying body or not possible, he could be trapped and killed.


    ¡°Quick fight and quick decision, this kid, after all, lacks combat experience.¡±


    Having made up his mind, the Yinming Messenger detonated the full power of Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s Five Cloud Luo Large Formation in one go, spreading a misty cold wave in mid-air, giving rise to a vast illusory image.


    At the same time, the body of the Yinming Messenger shockingly charged right in front of Chen Mobai in the blink of an eye.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s body flickered with flames, seeming to teleport a significant distance backward in mid-air. This was the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape that he had never used since mastering it!


    This skill demonstrated tremendously powerful explosiveness in short distances, akin to teleportation, causing the Yinming Messenger to miss his attack.


    Simultaneously, Chen Mobai spat out the second Green Flames Sword Slaughter, using himself as bait, and finally causing the scorching high-temperature Sword Sha to hit his adversary.


    Enveloped in cyan flames, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s corpse, just like the bull-head, dissolved into drifting ashes amidst struggles.


    ¡°Something¡¯s not right; it¡¯s a trick!¡±


    But at this moment, Chen Mobai noticed something was off. He turned around abruptly to sight the sneering sinister fog formed by the Yinming Messenger who had already left Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s body. Like a black snake, it suddenly drilled towards his glabella.


    ¡°Hehe, while I am uncertain how you cultivated, Thunder method, Sword Sha, and Magic Artifacts all wield Third Rank power, but your sense of divine realm is definitely your weakness.¡±


    ¡°I was a Core Formation real person before my transformation into a Ghost Cultivator.¡±


    ¡°Once my raid on your Purple Mansion crashes your divine soul, turning you into my host will compensate for losing four long-embedded chess pieces this time¡­¡±


    ¡°Eh¡­ why is the Sea of Knowledge in your Purple Mansion so robust¡­ Argh¡­¡±


    The Yinming Messenger, who was about to drill into Chen Mobai¡¯s Purple Mansion, realized that he seemed to have hit a soft yet resilient barrier and was repelled by a petal of white-green color.


    Chen Mobai did not miss this opportunity. Without any hesitation, his palm¡¯s Yimu Divine Thunder Technique became as bright and clear as flowing water. It carried the most terrifying vitality against Ghost Cultivators and heavily hit the black fog created by the Yinming Messenger, who was repelled by the Dalit Flower.


    Accompanied by a miserable scream from the Yinming Messenger, his originally firm fog began to drastically shrink and was reduced by half in an instant by the Yimu Divine Thunder.


    ¡°Crack!¡±


    While the Yinming Messenger was severely injured, the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag which was barely resisting the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror could no longer hold and broke. The Hundred Demons Array also collapsed completely.

    Chen Mobai beckoned, and the Pure Yang Fire flew over, which was also a force of irresistible purity and rigidity against Ghost Cultivators.


    Under the Divine Thunder and the Yang Fire, the Yinming Messenger couldn¡¯t even let out a scream, and in the end, turned into a wisp of smoke, disappearing in midair.


    Fearing that his foe might resurrect by occupying another body, Chen Mobai spat out two more Green Flames Sword Slaughter, turning the corpses of Hong Xu and Tong Xiaomei into ashes.


    Then he used the Pure Yang Fire to burn the host body of the Yinming Messenger, who was killed by the Yimu Divine Thunder at the start, into ashes.


    Only then did his heart settle down.

 Chapter 605 - Chapter 605: Chapter 391: Road to Huangquan_1

    Chapter 605: Chapter 391: Road to Huangquan_1


    Looking around, Chen Mobai found a thumb-sized black crystal left by the ghost cultivator, which was burnt by the True Fire but could not melt it.


    Although he didn¡¯t know what it was, he put it into his bag first.


    Then he collected all the storage bags left by Yuan Hongyuan and others, and then landed with satisfaction.


    White Moon Market.


    After a period of chaos, with Chen Mobai ruthlessly killing all the invaders with foundation establishment, order was quickly restored here.


    Of course, there were also many clever Loose Cultivators who had already fled.


    Not long after, several Spiritual Lights came and landed in the market.


    The one leading the way was Bai Dingxian who had escaped earlier. And the six Foundation Establishment cultivators who came with him, Chen Mobai recognized three of them; they were Xie Yuntian from the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Sword Training Division, Assistant Division Leader Xi Yisheng, and Fu Huakun from Reward Virtue Hall.


    The other three were another Foundation Establishment individual Bai Qifeng from the Bai family, Luo Jushan from the Luo family and a Foundation Establishment Elder.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, where are the Rogue Cultivators who attacked?¡±


    Seeing some shops destroyed in the White Moon Market, Fu Huakun couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°They have been slain by me.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Hearing his words, everyone was greatly surprised.


    ¡°Leader Bai, are you sure there were five Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivators?¡±


    Xie Yuntian, the Sword Training Division leader frowned, thinking that Bai Dingxian had exaggerated the number of Rogue Cultivators to get more people from the Divine Wood Sect involved.


    ¡°Absolutely true, I saw it with my own eyes! One of them was Yuan Hongyuan from Black Cloud Mountain. I just exchanged Immortal Peach fruit with him for a Rank-3 Spiritual Tea a few days ago. I didn¡¯t expect he had malicious intentions, charging directly at our sect¡¯s Town Guard!¡±


    Bai Dingxian said with a face full of anger.


    At this time, disciples from the Bai family and Divine Wood Sect also came over, and everyone was shocked after confirming the truth of Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    ¡°Did Junior Brother Chen condense Sword Demons?¡±


    Xie Yuntian couldn¡¯t help but ask. Facing five opponents alone, even if their realms were inferior to his, he would probably only be able to save his life.


    If he wanted to do as Chen Mobai did, killing five by himself, in his understanding, only by condensing a Green Flames Sword Slaughter, a Rank-3 method, could accomplish this!


    ¡°Yes, I had been closed up for half a year, just to condense the Sword Demons.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that right after I came out, evils came to test the sharpness of my sword.¡±


    ¡°But my sword was quite sharp, and I killed them all.¡±


    The light and understated words of Chen Mobai stunned the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators who had just arrived.


    It should be known that one of them was Yuan Hongyuan, a well-known harsh cultivator in Divine Wood Sect and the Bai Family. The Qi Practitioners described that Chen Mobai killed five major Foundation Establishment enemies, and it could even be said that he did it easily, indicating his overwhelming strength.


    ¡°Xi Junior Brother, you go and arrange the Sect Disciples, occupy the Black Cloud Mountain. Don¡¯t leave any of Yuan Family¡¯s remnants.¡±


    After the shock, Xie Yuntian responded and immediately ordered Xi Yisheng next to him, who nodded to Chen Mobai as a greeting before leaving.


    ¡°I will send a message to Fu family and Liang family to deal with the Loose Cultivators¡¯ Alliance. I have long been displeased with this organization. It¡¯s a good opportunity to ruin them.¡±


    Fu Huakun also started speaking. Besides Hong Xu, Jian Country¡¯s Loose Cultivator Alliance had another Foundation Establishment Cultivator. However, after Hong Xu committed such a big thing, this person should also be dealt with.


    ¡°The Tang brothers and sisters are Rogue Cultivators from Snow Country, without relatives and friends. Since they have died under Junior Brother Chen¡¯s sword, it¡¯s considered as retribution. As for the remaining one, do you know where he¡¯s from?¡±


    The custom here in Eastern Wilderness is to pay blood for blood.


    If they dare to kill Chen Mobai, a Divine Wood Sect disciple, they should be prepared for their family¡¯s extermination.


    ¡°This person claimed to be a Ghost Cultivator, wielding a Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag, and his cultivation level was profound.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a while, and still told the truth.


    After all, this person claimed to be a Golden Core Stage Cultivator in his lifetime. With the power of the Divine Wood Sect, they might be able to find out something.


    ¡°A Ghost Cultivator!¡±


    Upon hearing this term, most of the few Foundation Establishment cultivators at the scene were puzzled, seemingly unaware of what it represented.


    Only Fu Huakun and Xie Yuntian¡¯s faces changed drastically, as if it was a forbidden term.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, it seems this matter should be reported to the two ancestors.¡±


    Fu Huakun took a deep breath, his expression somber.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know why, but he nodded, indicating that there was no problem.


    ¡°Xie Junior Brother, you handle the aftermath here, I¡¯ll take Junior Brother Chen back to Giant Tree Ridge first.¡±


    Xie Yuntian nodded solemnly, immediately took over the power of the Bai and the Divine Wood Sect in the market, and also asked the Luo family from Huanbo Market to send someone to assist.

    Before Chen Mobai left, he waved to his two disciples and told them a few things, then he returned to the Giant Tree Ridge with Fu Huakun.


    Since Sect Leader Chu Zuoshu was on a friendly visit to the Golden Cliff, the normal procedure to see the two ancestors was not feasible.


    But Fu Huakun had a Message Talisman given by Elder Fu which can be used in emergencies.


    In a short time, Chen Mobai saw Fu Zongjue in the Penalty Evil Hall, but he didn¡¯t know if it was his real body or a puppet body.


    Upon hearing the two words ¡°Ghost Cultivator,¡± Fu Zongjue¡¯s face also changed slightly, and without any words, he directly waved his big sleeve, bringing them to Shenmu Hall.

 Chapter 606 - Chapter 606: Chapter 391: Huangquan Road_2

    Chapter 606: Chapter 391: Huangquan Road_2


    Only a moment later, Zhou Shengqing¡¯s figure appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes.


    The two elders of the Divine Wood Sect place far more importance on Ghost Cultivators than Chen Mobai had expected.


    ¡°Tell me about your fight with the Ghost Cultivator,¡± Zhou Shengqing commanded, holding the broken Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag. Chen Mobai selectively left out some details, claiming he had used his Rank-3 Magic Artifact, Sword Sha, and his Thunder Method. After several rounds of intense fighting, he had reduced the Ghost Cultivator to ashes with his Pure Yang True Fire.


    ¡°As I thought, those damned ghosts haven¡¯t been wiped out yet.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s account, Zhou Shengqing coldly offered his opinion. Noticing Chen Mobai¡¯s confusion, Zhou Shengqing began to explain some old affairs from their time in the Five Elements Sect.


    ¡°Our master, Hun Yuan, did not have much life left, but he could have lived another hundred years if he had died of natural causes. However, he encountered a mysterious Netherworld Path. Confident in his skill, he attempted to unravel the mysteries of reincarnation by challenging this path between life and death, only to return heavily injured. He clung to life for a few more years before he died.¡±


    ¡°Before he died, he told us that the Netherworld Path had been occupied by a group of Ghost Cultivators. If not for the extraordinary nature of the Primordial Dao Fruit, he might not have been able to return alive. Fortunately, those powerful Ghost Cultivators couldn¡¯t come to the human world, they could only exist in the area saturated with Huangquan Yin Qi.¡±


    ¡°But just the act of charging through the Netherworld Path punctured the barrier between the Underworld and the world of the living, allowing some Ghost Cultivators to come out with special methods. Before he died, our master directed us to exterminate quite a few Ghost Cultivators, then used his last breath to seal the Netherworld Path.¡±


    ¡°My eldest senior brother died in that battle. After that, I disagreed with my junior behalf on him becoming the Sect Leader, so I collaborated with Mo, another senior brother, and we split from the Five Elements Sect.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing revealed a rare nostalgic look as he spoke. From that point on, his memories weren¡¯t so beautiful.


    Fu Huakun, who was also a disciple of Five Elements Sect at that time, had participated in the battle against the Netherworld Path Ghost Cultivators with Fu Zongjue, so he knew something about it.


    ¡°Could the Ghost Cultivator have come from the Netherworld Path?¡±


    Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised after listening to Zhou Shengqing¡¯s account. If even the Elder Hun Yuan could have died from it, then the few Core Formation cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness would be in grave danger.


    ¡°It¡¯s very likely. However, the Spirit Talisman left by Elder Hun Yuan that can sense the Netherworld Path is in the hands of the Five Elements Sect, and I don¡¯t know what the status of the seal is now.¡±


    Amid Zhou Shengqing¡¯s sigh, he shook the Hundred Ghosts Soul Refining Flag in his hand. Pure spiritual power poured in, and in an instant faint images of dismembered fierce ghosts appeared on the surface of the flag, as if they wanted to break free.


    However, because there wasn¡¯t the correct method to cultivate and the Ghost Dao magical instrument was damaged, they didn¡¯t manage to summon the ghosts inside the flag.


    ¡°We¡¯ll need someone to fix this, but I don¡¯t know if it can be repaired.¡±


    Fu Zongjue said after observing the scene. Ghost Dao magical instruments are different from other magical instruments, and regular Instrument Masters would be powerless.


    ¡°Chen, this magical instrument might reveal something about the Netherworld Path. I¡¯ll keep it for now. You don¡¯t mind, do you?¡±


    Zhou Shengqing said to Chen Mobai, who quickly shook his head, indicating that it was the best if the elder found the flag golden. If it fell into his hands, he reckoned it would just collect dust in a corner.


    ¡°After all, it¡¯s your spoils of war. Also, you did a great service to the sect by removing a major threat in our territory. I¡¯ll give you a permit, you can go to the Reward Virtue Hall and collect fifty thousand spirit stones.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face lit up at Zhou Shengqing¡¯s next words.


    He hadn¡¯t expected to receive so many spirit stones for being ambushed, and he was already thinking about whether he could arrange a few more ambushes.


    After leaving the Shenmu Hall, Chen Mobai went straight to the Reward Virtue Hall.


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s permit allowed Luo Xue¡¯er to immediately transfer the spirit stones to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Sister Luo, fifty thousand spirit stones is way too much. Can I switch them to intermediate-grade or even top-grade spirit stones?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked this when he received the spirit stones, thinking that his Formless Puppet would probably consume one top-grade spirit stone every month if it wanted to cultivate the Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    ¡°Chen, based on our relationship, changing the spirit stones to intermediate-grade is not a problem. But, I genuinely can¡¯t do anything about the top-grade spirit stones, they are all in the hands of the elders.¡±


    Luo Xue¡¯er, aware that Chen Mobai is young, explained to him.


    ¡°Oh, why is that? Are top-grade spirit stones more valuable?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s correct. When one reaches the realm of cultivation as the two old ancestors, the spiritual objects they wish to purchase or exchange are traditionally traded using high-grade spirit stones. For example, rank-3 spirit rice, rank-3 magic artifacts, elixirs and so on. Furthermore, in the Eastern Wilderness, our Divine Wood Sect is willing to pay a 10% premium to exchange for high-grade spirit stones.¡±


    This implies that 11,000 lower-grade spirit stones are needed to exchange for one high-grade spirit stone.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai asked for more details about this exchange.


    ¡°The exchange for high-grade spirit stones by our Divine Wood Sect is relatively restrained, as we have our own spirit stone mine and are able to mine some every year from the core veins.¡±


    ¡°However, loose cultivator families and second-rate sects are willing to pay a high price to purchase the Foundation Building Pills from the big business groups. A single high-grade spirit stone going through their hands for exchange may require a premium of more than 10%.¡±


    ¡°But there¡¯s no choice as if one wishes to participate in the auction for Foundation Building Pills in the Eastern Yi Territory, it is required by all large business groups to use high-grade spirit stones. A few years ago, the Bai family from Snow Peak took advantage of the high demand for Tea Pills, accumulated some high-grade spirit stones, and successfully bid for a Foundation Building Pill from the Xuan Xiao Big Business Group. Nowadays, all big families are following suit and have begun hoarding high-grade spirit stones.¡±


    Having heard Luo Xue¡¯er¡¯s introduction, Chen Mobai thought of the moment at the White Moon Market when Bai Dingxian brought out a high-grade spirit stone to forcibly activate the defense formation, and his face showed a look of realization.


    After leaving the Reward Virtue Hall, he returned to his own Xiao Nanshan.


    Zhuo Ming found it odd that only Chen Mobai came back, but she dared not ask about it.


    ¡°Wen Bo and the others are helping the teacher to rent store fronts in various markets in Jian Country. You should sort out the inventory of spiritual wine, spirit rice, and talisman paper.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want Zhuo Ming to worry, so he left these words and began to sort out what he had acquired this time at the top of the mountain.


    First of all, there was the storage bag of the ghost cultivator who was said to have formed a Golden Core. It was a dull gray bag that was completely unremarkable.


    Then Chen Mobai encountered the same situation as when he obtained his first storage bag.


    He couldn¡¯t open it!


    It seemed that this ghost cultivator did not lie, he might have been a Golden Core cultivator in his lifetime whose realm of divine consciousness was higher than Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    However, the current Chen Mobai had gained much more insight than when he was just starting his Qi cultivation. While studying at the Dance Tool Dao Academy in recent years, he had learned many ways to open this storage bag even when his realm of divine consciousness was inferior.


    The simplest way was to use a talisman known as ¡°Space Talisman¡± from the immortal sect.


    The reason why he knew the talisman was because Wu Shangru had used it once when transferring the talisman paper and ink machines from the Flying Sky Talisman Factory to Chen Mobai.


    Because these machines were custom-made and needed a key with Wu Shangru¡¯s divine consciousness fluctuations to start, after the factory was transferred, the ¡°Space Talisman¡± was used to reformat the machines and the key, and match them with Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    What was erased in this process was the traces of divine consciousness frequency.


    Chen Mobai wanted to buy one to directly unlock the storage bag, but because the Space Talisman had extraordinary functions, only registered merchants at the immortal sect¡¯s law enforcement branch could sell it, and the purpose and reasons needed to be stated when purchasing.


    After thinking about it, Chen Mobai decided to learn it himself in order to avoid exposure.


    After all, he is now a rank-2 talisman maker, and the storage bag was in his hands, so there was no rush.


    Fortunately, aside from the storage bag of this ghost cultivator, the realms of divine consciousness of Yuan Hongyuan and the other four were inferior to Chen Mobai¡¯s, so he quickly integrated them easily.


    First, Chen Mobai emptied the storage bags of the Tang siblings and found out that Tang Da¡¯s storage bag was empty. However, Tang¡¯s younger sister¡¯s bag contained quite a number of items.


    Opening his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai quickly found his targets.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    A piece of Soul Nourishing Wood.


    And an Immortal Peach Fruit.


    With a smile on his face, Chen Mobai then emptied Hong Xu¡¯s storage bag; spirit stones clattered down and piled up into a small mountain next to him, along with more than a dozen different cultivation doctrine books.


    The two pill recipes had been bought out by Star Heaven Big Business Group, so Chen Mobai didn¡¯t find them in the bag.


    Finally, Chen Mobai emptied Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s storage bag.

 Chapter 607 - Chapter 607: Chapter 392 Huge Harvest_1

    Chapter 607: Chapter 392 Huge Harvest_1


    Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s storage bag indeed contained many valuable items.


    The first thing that caught Chen Mobai¡¯s eye was naturally the six Immortal Peach Fruits. He excitedly took the soft white and delicate fruits out and onto his palm. After carefully examining them for a while, he noticed something amiss.


    Out of the six Immortal Peach Fruits, only three were fully ripe, and the other three were still green-skinned.


    It seems that Yuan Hongyuan knew he would not be able to return to Black Cloud Mountain anytime soon after this ambush, so he picked all the fruits from the Immortal Peach Tree.


    With this thought, Chen Mobai happily set aside the three ripe Immortal Peach Fruits, planning to eat them immediately after handling his current affairs.


    Although the other three green-skinned Immortal Peach Fruits were not ripe, they were still valuable spiritual objects.


    Chen Mobai planned to let Zhuo Ming use them to brew some alcohol to see if another Rank-2 Spiritual Wine could be produced.


    Besides the Immortal Peach Fruits, Chen Mobai also saw the items Yuan Hongyuan had exchanged at the Fang Market.


    The Beast Spirit Egg obtained from Liang Jinggui, along with the Open-spirit Pill and Blood Qi-pill for nurturing the Qinghong Bird¡­


    However, what drew the attention of Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye was a palm-sized wooden box.


    There was a delicate prohibition on the wooden box, which appeared to be used for sealing spiritual energy.


    Upon opening the box, it was packed full with tea leaves that shone bright as gems.


    Snow Needle Immortal Bud!


    Chen Mobai recognized it immediately since he had drunk it recently at Yue Zutao¡¯s.


    He weighed the wooden box in his hand and estimated that there were about two pounds of Snow Needle Immortal Bud inside. If he consumed it conservatively, it should last about half a year.


    Perfect timing, as his divine sense had been stagnating for some time now. The last time he drank this tea, he could subtly sense its effects.


    He hoped that consuming these two pounds of Snow Needle Immortal Bud would help overcome this bottleneck.


    Apart from the Immortal Peach Fruits and Snow Needle Immortal Bud, Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s storage bag also contained nearly thirty thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    It was just a pity that Yuan Hongyuan¡¯s five flag Magic Artifacts had been detonated by the Ghost Cultivator to stimulate the Large Formation. Otherwise, this set of upper Rank-2 formation artifacts would also have been very valuable.


    In addition to these items, Chen Mobai also found several books.


    A book about the Black Cloud Wave Technique was quite interesting. It could be cultivated until the medium-stage of the Foundation Establishment. While it is exceptionally precious for other cultivators, it doesn¡¯t hold much utility for him.


    After a rough estimation, just the spiritual objects of Yuan Hongyuan alone were equivalent to a quantity of seventy to eighty thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    If the contents of the other three storage bags were added, this ¡®storage bag looting¡¯ would ultimately enrich Chen Mobai¡¯s assets with over a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.


    After finishing the inventory, such massive wealth made even the normally calm Chen Mobai¡¯s heart pound uncontrollably.


    He finally understood why the practice of robbing was so common in the Tianhe Realm.


    No one goes poor by accepting gifts, just like no horse gets fat without night feeding.


    From this haul, Chen Mobai felt that he had accumulated enough resources to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll to the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Nevertheless, he remained rational.


    After finishing the inventory, Chen Mobai classified and put away all the loot.


    The most precious of all was undoubtedly the Rank-3 Soul Nourishing Wood.


    Next, he picked up the Immortal Peach Fruit given by the Tang siblings and set it aside. Although eating four Immortal Peach Fruits felt a little wasteful, not eating them felt even worse.Update by n0vgo.c0


    Then, the more than fifty thousand Spirit Stones obtained from all the storage bags, with Yuan Hongyuan and Hong Xu contributing the most, and the Tang siblings not even accounting for their spare change.


    Among these, some were intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, which Chen Mobai stacked together, wondering if he could find a way to exchange them all for higher-grade stones in the future.


    There were also four Rank-2 Magic Artifacts, which Chen Mobai didn¡¯t fancy. However, they could be given to his disciples in the future or gifted to friends.


    Finally, there were all sorts of miscellaneous books, medicinal pills, and other items.


    To him, these items were of no use.


    Later, he planned to present them to the Transfer Department to see if he could exchange them for some contribution points. If the sect already had them, he¡¯d just make a few more copies and sell them at the South Mountain Shop.


    After deciding on how to deal with the useless spoils of war, Chen Mobai contentedly picked up a ripe Immortal Peach Fruit and ate it directly.


    The natural spiritual objects were indeed different. They melted in the mouth and turned into a spiritual liquid that was of a much higher grade than regular spiritual energy. This spiritual liquid was exceptionally mild and was readily absorbed by Chen Mobai¡¯s meridians and internal organs, yet it did not immediately transform into Liquid Spiritual Power.


    Chen Mobai immediately began to operate the Pure Yang Scroll.


    Natural energy from Xiao Nanshan¡¯s peak was refined and infused into his body under the guidance of his divine sense.


    The effect of the Immortal Peach Fruit also began to take effect.


    Before, several Grand Circulations were needed to refine external spiritual energy into Pure Yang Spiritual Power. After a hard day¡¯s meditation, probably only one strand of spiritual power could be cultivated. However, now under the harmonization of the Immortal Peach Fruit¡¯s spiritual liquid, a drop of purest Liquid Spiritual Power was directly transformed in one Grand Circulation.

    But with this, the consumption of the spiritual energy was naturally much more significant.


    Chen Mobai felt that the spiritual energy atop Xiao Nanshan¡¯s peak seemed to be inadequate, as a drop of Liquid Pure Yang Spiritual Power was formed in his Dantian Qi Sea after just a few breaths¡¯ time.


    There was no choice but to retrieve the original ore Spirit Stone he had treasured for a long time.


    This was because not even intermediate-grade Spirit Stones could withstand his current rate of absorption and refining.


    Chen Mobai placed his right hand on the original ore Spirit Stone shaped like a White Jade Altar obtained from Lonely Spirit Ridge. In an instant, a vast and profound pristine spiritual energy poured into his body like a floodgate had been opened.

 Chapter 608 - Chapter 608: Chapter 392 Massive Harvest_2

    Chapter 608: Chapter 392 Massive Harvest_2


    If it were not for the strengthening of his right hand¡¯s fingers, muscles, bones, and skin from the treatment of a Rank-3 medicinal unguent, he might not have been able to withstand such impact.


    With ample Spiritual Energy, Chen Mobai could finally meditate at ease.


    ¡°Has Master not finished his retreat yet?¡±


    At the foot of Xiao Nanshan, Luo Yixuan, who had already returned, looked at the dense spiritual energy gathering at the top of the mountain, approximately forming a long white fog-like dragon, and somewhat helplessly asked Zhuo Ming beside her.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Master¡¯s one and a half years retreat a halfway normal occurrence?¡±


    Zhuo Ming, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, inspected the growth of the Spirit Rice plants in the Spirit Field. Meanwhile, she spoke in a normal tone.


    ¡°Bai Dingxian, the head of the Bai family, has been waiting in Divine Wood City for more than half a month. A few days ago, when the Sect Leader returned, he summoned me to inquire about the affairs of the White Moon Market,¡± Luo Yixuan said with a sigh.


    The incident of the Divine Wood Sect disciple being ambushed in the Fang Market within Jian Country naturally was incumbent on the Bai family, which managed the White Moon Market.


    Over the past decades, the Bai family has profited from the backing of the Divine Wood Sect. Their tea pills were in high demand in nearby countries. They even had enough financial capacity to bid on Foundation Building Pills within the Eastern Yi Territory, which aroused the envy of others.


    After Chen Mobai was ambushed, many forces within the Divine Wood Sect were stirring, pondering whether to revoke the Bai family¡¯s managerial authority over the White Moon Market.


    Bai Dingxian personally ran up and down the Giant Tree Ridge. Thankfully, the Snow Needle Immortal Buds that were given to his two elders also contributed. After some effort to reconcile with those above and below him, the matter was basically settled.


    In the end, Chu Zuoshu expressed that as long as Chen Mobai did not pursue the matter, it would be considered settled.


    Regrettably, Bai Dingxian arrived late. Chen Mobai had already begun his retreat to refine the Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruits. However, the former didn¡¯t dare to leave and could only wait in Divine Wood City.


    As Chen Mobai¡¯s disciples, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan had long since been taken care of by Bai Dingxian.


    He didn¡¯t want to make things difficult for them. He just asked them to inform him when Chen Mobai was out of his retreat, at which time he would promptly arrive to admit his faults.


    ¡°This type of Fire Spirit Rice matures early and doesn¡¯t require much in terms of Spiritual Energy. It can be harvested twice in a year, and it will be ready for harvesting in a couple of days.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, engrossed in farming, knew that Liu Wenbo had already moved half of the Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine stored in the warehouse from previous years to the newly opened South Mountain Shop in the five major markets of Jian Country.


    The emptiness of the warehouse and wine cellar gave her an unsettling feeling.


    That¡¯s why she has been busy harvesting some early maturing Spirit Rice crops in order to stock up her inventory.


    ¡°Sister Zhuo, I¡¯ll help you harvest when the time comes¡­¡±


    As the two sisters were having a conversation at the foot of the mountain, Chen Mobai, who was on top of the mountain, suddenly opened his eyes.


    After the crystalline brilliance vanished from his pupils, he stood up, full of vigor.


    Unexpectedly, the effect of consuming the Immortal Peach Fruit was excellent. After consecutively refining the spiritual power of four peach fruits, he broke through two ranks. His Pure Yang Scroll progressed from the Foundation Establishment third stage to the Foundation Establishment fifth stage, and now he had a total of 90 drops of Pure Yang Spiritual Power in his body.


    It was just a pity that by the time he had consumed the fourth fruit, the effect of the Immortal Peach Spirit Liquid was no longer of much use to him.


    If that wasn¡¯t the case, Chen Mobai wanted to consume those three green-skinned Immortal Peaches as well.


    While getting used to his increased spiritual power, he examined the content on the message talismans that flew in after he ended his retreat.


    ¡°Come up and see me!¡±


    At the foot of the mountain, the faces of Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan lit up when they heard Chen Mobai¡¯s voice transmission.


    ¡°How has the Yuan family of Black Cloud Mountain been dealt with?¡±


    ¡°Reporting to Master, most of the core disciples of the Yuan family have already fled the area controlled by the Divine Wood Sect. However, the sect has issued a killing order against them.¡±


    Luo Yixuan, acting as Chen Mobai¡¯s spokesperson within the sect, was naturally very concerned about the aftermath of the White Moon Market ambush incident. When Chen Mobai asked, she promptly answered.


    ¡°What about that Rank-3 Immortal Peach Spirit Tree?¡±


    This was the most precious item of the Yuan family of Black Cloud Mountain. Particularly after experiencing the effect of the Immortal Peach Spirit Liquid, even Chen Mobai was somewhat tempted.


    ¡°Two mentors from the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Department of Spirit Plants personally went to the Black Cloud Mountain. They expressed that they have no absolute guarantee to transplant the Immortal Peach Spirit Tree to the Giant Tree Ridge. Thus, the Sect Leader¡¯s decision is to establish the Black Cloud Mountain as a branch of the Divine Wood Sect and specifically assign disciples to guard the Immortal Peach Spirit Tree and several dozen acres of Spirit Fields associated with the Yuan family.¡±


    This is akin to using a legitimate excuse to swallow up the property of the Yuan family.


    However, transplanting a Rank-3 Spirit Tree is indeed an extremely dangerous task.


    To transplant a Vermilion Fruit Tree, Chen Mobai had to exhaust all his efforts and even enlisted the help of Wang Xingyu and Gong Ranran before he could be sure of succeeding.


    When transplanting Spirit Trees, one must take into consideration geological veins, water elements, spiritual energy, and even factors such as atmospheric conditions, sunlight, moonlight, and starlight.


    The higher the rank of the Spirit Wood, the more difficult the transplantation process is.


    For example, no second spiritual land can be found on the entire Earth Element Star that can sustain the growth of the Big Tree, which is the number one Spirit Plant in the immortal gate.


    The same is true for the Rank-5 Vermilion Fruit Tree in the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Once these spirit trees are transplanted, not only do they struggle to survive, but the grade of the spiritual energy suppressed by them originally will also drop and suffer damage, possibly even causing fluctuations in the earth¡¯s crust, plate vibrations leading to extremely severe consequences.


    However, despite not being able to transplant the Big Peach Tree over, planting some small peach trees should not be a problem.


    ¡°Ming, take these four fruit cores and plant them on the hillside to see if we can grow an Immortal Peach Forest in a few years.¡±


    Zhuo Ming promptly took the four fruit cores that Chen Mobai handed over.


    ¡°There are also three green-skinned Immortal Peaches here. Find Sister Yan and make some Green Peach Wine with Spirit Rice.¡±


    After turning over the things to Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai asked Luo Yixuan, who had her eyes glued on the green-skinned immortal peach, about the situation of the Loose Repair Alliance.


    Luo Yixuan, regaining her senses, instantly reported that another Foundation Establishment cultivator from the organization had already been slain by Xie Yuntian.


    Now, no one within the territory of the Divine Wood Sect dares to call themselves a cultivator of the Loose Repair Alliance.


    In other words, there are essentially no remaining enemies for Chen Mobai to personally take revenge on.


    What a pity, his cultivation level had just improved and he had been looking forward to testing if his sword had also become sharper!


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s regretful expression, Luo Yixuan finally talked about the Bai family¡¯s situation.


    She roughly said Chu Zuoshu¡¯s opinion that a slight punishment should be enough since the Divine Wood Sect just annexed Black Cloud Mountain and, combined with the Yuan family¡¯s shops in various markets, already posed a threat to the security of other immortal cultivation families.


    If they suppressed the Bai family of Snow Peak further, then it would likely lead to disunity among the immortal cultivation families within the Four Nations Territory.


    ¡°I see, if I have time tomorrow, let¡¯s meet this Bai Dingxian.¡±


    Hearing those words, Luo Yixuan immediately made a trip to Divine Wood City.


    ¡°Town Guard, thanks to your amazing cultivation, White Moon Market remained intact. I don¡¯t know how to thank you. All I can do is offer you these humble gifts. Please accept them.¡±


    Bai Dingxian paid a visit to Xiao Nanshan and, without any pretensions, immediately gifted three items.


    The first was a branch of Snow Needle Immortal Bud tea seeds. In order to avoid unsuccessful planting, he also sent ten Rank-2 tea seeds and ten Rank-1 tea seeds.


    The second was a Rank-2 spiritual medicine called ¡°Jade Tea Pill,¡± which was unique to the Bai family. It¡¯s very popular among Foundation Establishment cultivators and is a rare pill that can enhance one¡¯s Divine Sense.


    Seeing the main ingredient of the pill being Snow Needle Immortal Bud, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but sigh at the wastefulness.


    The third gift was an unremarkable total of ten thousand lower-grade spirit stones.


    ¡°As the Guard of Jian Country, it is my duty and responsibility to safeguard all markets within Jian Country, protect cultivation families and all loose cultivators. It would be improper for me to accept these gifts.¡±


    If it were before, Chen Mobai would be very excited about these things. But having obtained a great harvest just a moment ago, he felt that what Bai Dingxian brought was rather plain.


    ¡°¡­ Lord Guard, I am a straightforward person. You can just name a price, and as long as our Bai family can afford it, we will undoubtedly offer it.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Bai Dingxian, experienced and cunning as he is, patted his chest and said something that made Chen Mobai feel a little embarrassed.


    It wasn¡¯t that he wanted to extort, it¡¯s just that he currently lacked top-quality spirit stones and he thought that the Bai family seemed to have saved quite a few.


    ¡°I might have to leave the Eastern Wilderness for a while and travel to other territories of the Eastern Region. But I¡¯m lacking in top-notch spirit stones. I heard the Bai family is wealthy. Could you help me exchange the spirit stones on hand for top-notch ones? We can go with market price plus twenty percent.¡±


    Although Bai Dingxian wore a pained expression on his face, he knew that without the protection of the Divine Wood Sect, the Bai family absolutely couldn¡¯t flourish. And the man in front of him, as long as he doesn¡¯t die prematurely, has a promising future, possibly even reaching the Core Formation stage. So, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to make a choice.


    ¡°May I know how many you want to exchange? I¡¯m afraid what the Bai family has accumulated might not be enough!¡±

 Chapter 609 - Chapter 609: Chapter 393: Art of Rebirth in the Underworld_1

    Chapter 609: Chapter 393: Art of Rebirth in the Underworld_1


    The Bai family is indeed the wealthiest cultivation immortal family in Jian Country.


    Chen Mobai, looking at the ten transparent, extraordinary high-grade Spirit Stones in his storage bag, finally felt relieved regarding one matter.


    With these, at least the energy source needed for the Armor of Nothingness to condense Pure Yang Purple Qi would suffice for this year.


    However, Bai Dingxian also revealed that this was all the Bai family had.


    He further suggested, if Chen Mobai needed more high-grade Spirit Stones in future, he should go to the Eastern Yi Territory. Large-scale Spirit Stone Mines over there meant high-grade Spirit Stones were not as precious as they are in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Chen Mobai agreed verbally but committed himself to not leave the Eastern Wilderness until he reached the Core Formation stage. Ideally, he wouldn¡¯t even step outside the confines of Divine Wood Sect.


    The ambush at the White Moon Market didn¡¯t threaten him this time, even turning into a boon for him, but that was because the enemies didn¡¯t know of his rapid progress.


    If he didn¡¯t happen upon the opportunity provided by the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he would have been just an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator. Yuan Hongyuan and his four companions could easily have killed him multiple times.


    He had become too comfortable in recent years.


    He had forgotten his early lessons from the Southstream Market, where he was almost killed by the South Mountain Thieves. He needed to recall those times and learn from them.


    As Chen Mobai reflected on this, his hand dabbed the slim Talisman Brush with ink, and he marked the last Spiritual Pattern on the Space Talisman placed on the table.


    The moment his brush stroke landed, the originally unremarkable talisman paper instantly lit up with the twinkling of pattern lines, like electricity flowing through a newly activated circuit, looking absolutely splendid in the cabin.


    It was a pity that no one else could witness his exquisite talisman-making technique, mainly because the Space Talismans were from the Celestial Sect, and it was inappropriate to let Zhuo Ming know about this.


    Usually, when Chen Mobai painted talismans, he always called Zhuo Ming over to learn by watching his refined skills under the pretext of grinding ink. This was his way of teaching her both verbally and practically.


    Zhuo Ming felt overwhelmingly grateful for this.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, it was extraordinarily rare to find a master like Chen Mobai who was willing to patiently teach with hands-on guidance.


    Most people, after becoming disciples, were made to work hard for a few years before their loyalty and merit could be recognized by their masters. Then they would be allowed to handle the most basic talisman paper or learn the basics of talisman ink making.


    Having access to extensive knowledge of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal right from the beginning was a privilege reserved for designated successors or blood relatives.


    Yet, even in such cases, the masters only guided them until the door; for further progress and learning, disciples were left to their own devices.


    As for a Master as patient as Chen Mobai, Zhuo Ming felt that she must have worshipped her ancestors continuously for a lifetime to merit his guidance in this life.


    Therefore, every time Chen Mobai painted talismans and asked her to grind ink or pass him the brush, Zhuo Ming considered it a great honor.


    Not just her, Luo Yixuan also envied this privilege and was recently working hard to master the art of talisman-making. She hoped to replace Zhuo Ming as the designated disciple at Chen Mobai¡¯s side helping him prepare calligraphy.


    Too bad her talent in talisman-making was mediocre at best; it appeared she had little hope.


    Chen Mobai, naturally unaware of his young apprentice¡¯s intentions, praised her for finding something to keep herself busy whilst waiting for the Foundation Building Pills after reaching Qi Cultivation Perfection.


    Space Talismans were extremely simple to use. Once activated, they could erase divine sense traces left on any object.


    Having seen Wu Shangru use it once before, Chen Mobai understood it clearly.


    After a wisp of cyan smoke, the storage bag of the Core Formation Ghost Cultivator was completely accessible to him.


    Filled with anticipation, Chen Mobai gently tipped the bag over.


    With a ¡°thud,¡± the Lotus Lamp that he was so familiar with fell onto the wooden table, making a dull sound.


    ¡°So it was actually bought by him.¡±


    Chen Mobai was taken aback, he reached into his storage bag, pulled out the Multicolored Lotus Lamp, placed it on the stand, and tested it. It was indeed a perfect match.


    He placed the Lotus Lamp on the stand, and as it was touched by the twinkling multicolored light, it seemed as though its extinguished wick lit up. The nature of the magical artifact merged the two separated parts seamlessly.


    After approximately the time it would take to brew a cup of tea, the multicolored light died down.


    Chen Mobai lifted the united Multicolored Lotus Lamp and began to appraise it based on the treasure appraisal skills he learned the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    After much effort, Chen Mobai had to reluctantly put down the Multicolored Lotus Lamp around noon.


    This magical artifact was indeed Rank-3, but it seemed to be a Ghost Dao magical instrument. He could do nothing but barely determine that without igniting the wick, this artifact would provide protection to the user¡¯s spirit.


    However, having seen Flying Ming Daoist control an incomplete Multicolored Lotus Lamp was impressive at Lonely Spirit Ridge in the past, so he was greatly looking forward to igniting the wick.


    But this magical artifact can¡¯t be used carefreely in front of the Celestial Sect, so he needs to figure it out on his own.

    Thinking about this, Chen Mobai turned his attention back to the Ghost Cultivator¡¯s storage bag.


    In addition to more than a hundred intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, there were many bones of different colors that appeared to have been refined using a Secret Technique. He had no clue if these were the ingredients for a certain magical artifact.


    Chen Mobai was not interested in these, so he piled them on the side of the table.


    He picked up the final item.


    This was a black leather book with the twisted words ¡°Art of Rebirth in the Underworld¡± embossed on the cover.

 Chapter 610 - Chapter 610: Chapter 393: Art of Rebirth in the Underworld_2

    Chapter 610: Chapter 393: Art of Rebirth in the Underworld_2


    Chen Mobai, who was interested in the techniques of ghost cultivators, began to read.


    As he did, his expression became somewhat strange.


    It turned out that only a ghost cultivator in the Golden Core Realm could cultivate this technique. After completion, if it was used, it required the integration of one¡¯s essence into a Soul Nourishing Wood, giving birth to a type of spiritual object called the Huangquan Holy Fruit.


    The effects of this Huangquan Holy Fruit were almost identical to the Tree Fruit that Chen Mobai had taken.


    Both could allow a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage to unconditionally break through a realm. However, after consumption, one would become a body of Rebirth in the Underworld. As long as the cultivator who refined the Huangquan Holy Fruit wished, they could possess and parasitize the victim at any time and place.


    But this was not the most powerful aspect of the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld.


    If the Ghost Fetus in the Womb, who underwent the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld, fully consumed all three sizes of Huangquan Holy Fruit, the reborn ghost cultivator could instantly condense a Ghost Pill.


    The Ghost Pill was equivalent to entering the Core Formation stage!


    This was the purpose of the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld, allowing ghost cultivators above the Golden Core Realm to descend from the underworld into the realm of the living.


    And the cultivators who consumed the Huangquan Holy Fruit were known as a Ghost Fetus in the Womb in the underworld!


    After reading all of this, Chen Mobai felt that he could not hide this book and went straight to Shenmu Hall to see Chu Zuoshu. The latter, after listening, immediately handed the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld to Zhou Shengqing.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is¡­¡±


    After finished reading, Zhou Shengqing slightly surprised, and finally understood why the ghost cultivators of the Huangquan Road could descend to the mortal world.


    ¡°Now we just hope that there aren¡¯t many ghost cultivators in the Golden Core stage hiding in the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu said solemnly. Although the Ghost Pill cultivators after their reincarnation were in essence not as strong as the real Gold Core cultivators, and because of the limits of Yang world, their cultivation level would also be weakened, they were still of the Golden Core level, and more than enough to deal with those at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    And if the stronger ghost cultivators in Huangquan Road wanted to come out, the Five Elements Sect that originally sealed them would definitely be the primary target.


    They didn¡¯t understand why they weren¡¯t targeting the Five Elements Sect, but their own Divine Wood Sect instead.


    ¡°Next, let the disciples in our Sect increase their vigilance. Those damn ghost guys are willing to show up, so they will definitely take further action. What I fear the most is them mixing with our enemies from Divine Wood Sect.¡±


    As Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words fell, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.


    You should know that they, the Divine Wood Sect, just had a battle with Shake Mountain Peak, and Ji Zhenshi, if knowing that Divine Wood Sect had such an enemy, he would definitely be eager to cooperate with the ghost cultivators.


    ¡°Yes, old ancestor, but recently, Brother Meng¡¯s formation of the Gold Core has been getting more and more intense. I¡¯m worried that the enemy will take this opportunity to make trouble.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu took the opportunity to report another matter.


    ¡°With both of us here, plus the Large Formation of Giant Tree Ridge, unless the other six major sects of the Eastern Wilderness all come out together, there is nothing to worry about.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing confidently said.


    ¡°The chance to form a Gold Core is rare. Let all the disciples who have hope of forming a Gold Core come back and see if they can understand something.¡±


    Fu Zongjue, who was on the side, opened his mouth, and Chu Zuoshu nodded.


    Fu Zongjue was referring to the senior disciples in the late stage of Foundation Establishment in the Sect, as well as talented disciples like Chen Mobai.


    But Chu Zuoshu, who could sit in the Sect Leader position, was a clever man and naturally knew who Fu Old Ancestor was referring to.


    ¡°I will issue the Sect Leader¡¯s decree and let Hong He, Zhou Wangshen, and E Yun come back to the sect.¡±


    Among the young generation of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect, these three were always leading the group before Chen Mobai emerged.


    Among them, after Hong He reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he became a disciple of Fu Zongjue, and was considered the next successor of the Penalty Evil Hall.


    Fu Zongjue was speaking specifically to have Hong He come back so that he would not miss the vision of Meng Hong¡¯s formation of the Gold Core.


    Even if he just watched it, it would be a great opportunity for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Because forming a Gold Core was just too difficult here in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Among the next generation of the Divine Wood Sect, Hong He and Zhou Wangshen were the most promising Gold Core seeds looked upon by the two old ancestors. But if Zhou Wangshen was not a descendant of Zhou Shengqing, he would actually not be worthy to be on par with Hong He.


    With a genius like Hong He falling into the Divine Wood Sect, it seemed that heaven wanted to make them flourish.


    What made Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue even happier was that besides Hong He, there was also a Heavenly Wood Spirit Root, and even an unparalleled cutting talent like Chen Mobai.


    These three people, even if they were placed within the Eastern Yi Territory, were still the top talents.


    If they could reach Core Formation, the Divine Wood Sect returning to the Five Elements Sects wouldn¡¯t be a vain hope.


    Am I finally going to meet Hong He?


    Chen Mobai was full of anticipation.


    This person, who had subdued all the Qi Cultivation disciples of Divine Wood Sect before him, was someone he had long admired.


    However, after Hong He reached Foundation Establishment, he took up the role of Town Guard in the Rain Country.


    Although both E Yun and Hong He bordered Yunmeng Great Marsh, unlike the former who often found opportunities to come back, the latter wouldn¡¯t leave Rain Country a single step unless the sect summoned him.


    The task of notifying them fell upon Yuan Chiye.


    As a true disciple from the same batch as Hong He and the others, Yuan Chiye got along well with them.


    ¡°Chen junior brother, I can¡¯t even get a sense of your Cultivation Realm anymore.¡±


    Before he left, Yuan Chiye came to Chen Mobai for a drink, expressing this sentimentfully.


    ¡°There¡¯s been a slight improvement, but I believe senior brother Yuan will catch up soon.¡±


    Yuan Chiye took Chen Mobai¡¯s polite words with a grain of salt. Soon, Yue Zutao also arrived. The three of them chatted about recent events within the sect as they drank.


    ¡°Senior sister Yin has reached Foundation Establishment, are you aware, junior brother Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Senior sister Yin? Which one¡­ you mean Yin Qingmei!¡±


    The Divine Wood Sect had a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator; Chen Mobai knew this even before he joined the sect.


    He had met Yin Qingmei too.


    Back when he was at Southstream Market, Yuan Chiye and Yin Qingmei had come together to recruit new disciples. Pretending to be ¡°Ding Ying¡±, Chen Mobai owed her a small favor.


    If it wasn¡¯t for her finding the Water Mansion, Chen Mobai, who had just escaped from the South Mountain Thieves, had been prepared to cross Yun Country and Jian Country to arrive at Giant Tree Ridge and request discipleship.


    ¡°She just turned twenty, indeed worthy of her Heavenly Spiritual Root.¡±


    Although Yuan Chiye wasn¡¯t too old, his sentimentality increased. After reaching Foundation Establishment, he began to realize how average his aptitude was, and even reaching Foundation Establishment was considered extremely fortunate.


    The main reason was he often interacted with top talents of the Divine Wood Sect like Chen Mobai, so the comparisons made him feel slightly mediocre.


    ¡°The Sect Leader asked me to deliver the Foundation Establishment disciple¡¯s uniform and token to senior sister Yin, so I guess it must be her who¡¯s reached Foundation Establishment. Aren¡¯t you on good terms with her?¡±


    With his status rising as the direct disciple of Chu Zuoshu and his cultivation sealed with some time, Yue Zutao had already begun to assume some actual power within the Shenmu Hall.


    ¡°We¡¯ve lost contact in recent years.¡±


    Yuan Chiye said somewhat awkwardly. He and Yin Qingmei were from the same town, so they got along well at first. But as they reached Foundation Establishment, they gradually lost touch, partly due to Yin Qingmei being protected, and partly because time seemed to fly faster for those with higher cultivation levels.


    Unconsciously, they hadn¡¯t been in contact for a long time.


    ¡°Senior sister Yin is planning a small celebration party, but it should be after junior brother Hong He returns. You should use this time to prepare a small gift.¡±


    Yue Zutao indirectly gave Yuan Chiye a hint; Chen Mobai was all confused.


    The next day.


    As Chen Mobai was about to go back to Xiao Nanshan, Yin Qingmei¡¯s invitation had already arrived at his residence.


    ¡°I will definitely be there.¡±


    Chen Mobai responded to the Qi cultivation disciple who delivered the invitation in front of him. The latter sighed in relief, bade goodbye, and left.


    ¡°Xuan, what kind of gift should your master prepare?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai put down the invitation and asked Luo Yixuan, who was standing next to him.


    Yin Qingmei had done him a favor and she had a Heavenly Spiritual Root with a promising future. If the gift was too light, he would feel bad about it. But if the gift was too heavy, Yin Qingmei might not accept it either.


    ¡°Master, I heard that senior uncle Yin has a Heavenly Wood Spirit Root. Didn¡¯t you acquire a piece of Pure Bamboo during the auction? I think it would be a great gift.¡±


    Luo Yixuan was thoughtful; her words immediately resolved Chen Mobai¡¯s worry.


    This piece of Pure Bamboo was Rank-2 and was also a spiritual object from the Eastern Yi Clan¡¯s (Empty) Mulberry Valley. It was absolutely suitable as a gift for Yin Qingmei, who was a Heavenly Wood Spirit Root cultivator.

 Chapter 611 - Chapter 611: Chapter 394 New Rank-2 Spirit Rice_1

    Chapter 611: Chapter 394 New Rank-2 Spirit Rice_1


    Speaking of Pure Bamboo, Chen Mobai was reminded of several other things he had won at the auction.


    He had integrated the Lung Gold Qi into his Five Elements Sword Finger. As for the Five Elements Ore, which was a gift for his sister, it was still stored in his storage bag.


    The remaining items were an iron bead and a piece of beast skin, both of which were decoys for acquiring the lamp stand.


    After examining the iron bead with his treasure appraisal knowledge, Chen Mobai concluded it was a part of a magic artifact, possibly a bullet for a slingshot. However, all of its prohibitions and energy had been expended, leaving it virtually useless despite some lingering spiritual essence.


    The beast skin probably belonged to an unknown Rank-2 Demonic beast. It bore some innate markings. The auction had claimed that if cultivators could understand these markings, they could master the Divine Skills of the beast¡¯s bloodline, but Chen Mobai thought this was nonsense.


    Believing he lacked such high talent, after examining the beast skin, he casually handed it over to Luo Yixuan who was standing nearby.


    ¡°You can ask the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to post a task for the Artifact Refiner Department to refine this into an inner armor. The quality of this skin is quite good. If made into a Defensive Magic Weapon, it would be more than sufficient for the Qi Cultivation stage.¡±


    Luo Yixuan happily accepted it. She was indeed in need of a powerful Defensive Magic Weapon.


    ¡°By the way, Master, Brother Liu sent a message saying that more than half of the 20,000 talismans you gave him have been sold. What should we do next? Do we risk running out of stock, or should we increase the price?¡±


    Liu Wenbo has been busy managing the South Mountain Shop in Jian Country¡¯s five Fang Markets. This had made Chen Mobai¡¯s shop well-known among the loose cultivators with a little bit of Realm.


    They were drawn in out of curiosity and discovered that the South Mountain talismans were far superior to those available elsewhere in the Eastern Wilderness. And yet, they were priced the same.


    As a result, within just half a month, these ¡°South Mountain Talismans¡± had completely flooded the market.


    Furthermore, many talisman shops had approached them for a partnership, asking if they could supply talismans of this quality, or even if they could exclusively buy out their stock.


    ¡°Keep the prices unchanged. Just tell Wen Bo to pick up the stock,¡± Chen Mobai said casually. In the puppet factory of the Celestial Sect, he could produce 10,000 talismans per day.


    Since he had been away touring Jian Country¡¯s five Fang Markets for over a month, in theory, he should have accumulated nearly 400,000 talismans.


    If these were all sold in the Eastern Wilderness, they could be exchanged for more than 30,000 Lower-grade Spirit Stones.


    Despite the enormous wealth he won by killing Yuan Hongyuan and others, Chen Mobai well understood that trading was the most regular way to accumulate wealth.


    After all, trading earned Spirit Stones every day, while there were not opportunities to kill and rob every day!


    However, on his return to the puppet factory to retrieve talismans, Chen Mobai noticed a small problem.


    The puppets in his factory had been operating 24 hours a day. As many of the materials were made of wood, the damage rate was quite high.


    Although he had anticipated this issue and had Chai Lun assist in creating two puppets solely for repairs, they could only handle simple parts replacement.


    Issues involving core chips or fine-tuned joint parts still required him to handle personally.


    During Chen Mobai¡¯s absence, six puppets in the factory had broken down, causing a slight decrease in the talisman production efficiency.


    ¡°It seems best to leave a puppet of mine in the factory,¡± Chen Mobai thought while repairing a puppet.


    Initially, after the battle between the Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain Peak had just concluded, Chen Mobai had been inspired by Fu Zongjue¡¯s puppet body. He had also wanted to divide his mind into thoughts and separate the Puppet Void Idol from his actual body, holding both the Celestial Gate and the Tianhe Realm.


    However, due to the separation of the two realms and his own low Realm, his physical body had difficulty bearing it.


    Since he now had a section of Rank-3 Soul Nourishing Wood, he thought he might as well put it to use.


    After completing the repairs, Chen Mobai began to experiment.


    Soul Nourishing Wood was also a rare treasure in nature. It had appeared a few times in the Eastern Wasteland, so the Divine Wood Sect had related information.


    Chen Mobai removed his Flying Sparrow Hairpin, letting his long, flowing hair fall. Under his Divine Sense, his hair transformed into black whip lashing out and sweeping up the Soul Nourishing Wood.


    Afterward, he felt a wave of invisible serenity descending from the Soul Nourishing Wood on his head, falling into his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    At that moment, the Dalit Flower that he had long ago integrated emerged spontaneously.


    Chen Mobai promptly pressed down the Dalit Flower¡¯s passive defense power, opened up his Purple Mansion, and let the power of the Soul Nourishing Wood into it.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In the twinkling of silvery light, his real body was teleported to the Tianhe Realm, while the Puppet Void Idol, which was controlled by his Divine Sense, remained where it was.


    Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai furrowed his brows slightly, feeling a faint dizziness from his Divine Sense being split between the two realms.


    The Soul Nourishing Wood was effective. At the very least, compared to the previous unbearable feeling of nearing collapse, now it only felt like a mild ailment after a cold, entirely bearable.


    ¡°I just don¡¯t know how long this force of the Soul Nourishing Wood can last.¡±

 Chapter 612 - Chapter 612: Chapter 394: New Rank-2 Spirit Rice_2

    Chapter 612: Chapter 394: New Rank-2 Spirit Rice_2


    Chen Mobai remembered the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s records about Soul Nourishing Wood. This spiritual object is a treasure for ghost cultivators, but for cultivators like them who focus on Qi cultivation, it is but an object that nourishes the heart and spirit and purifies the divine sense.


    Wearing Soul Nourishing Wood for a long time would absorb some miscellaneous elements from one¡¯s Divine Sense and gradually enhance its power.


    However, the effectiveness of the Soul Nourishing Wood would also gradually weaken until it completely lost its spirit effectiveness.


    A Rank-3 Soul Nourishing Wood was just right to be useful for a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Chen Mobai felt an indescribable change in his Divine Sense under the fluctuations of the Soul Nourishing Wood, revealing a relaxed expression on his face.


    It seemed that there were signs of loosening in the bottleneck of his divine sense.


    If he could use this Soul Nourishing Wood to let his Divine Sense reach the perfection in Foundation Establishment, then his trip to the five markets in Jian Country could be considered a truly perfect action.


    Chen Mobai, who was thinking in such a way, used a simple artifact refining method to resize the Soul Nourishing Wood to the same size as the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    Then he used the Soul Nourishing Wood as a second hairpin, inserting it crosswise with the Flying Sparrow Hairpin on top of his high bun.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    At this time, his three disciples who had received his message had also arrived.


    Zhuo Ming didn¡¯t know about the Soul Nourishing Wood, so after greeting, seeing an extra dark hairpin that looked like a cut branch on Chen Mobai¡¯s head, she couldn¡¯t help but look at it a few more times.


    ¡°Wen Bo, here are some talisman papers and some sample talisman ink, you take them.¡±


    Chen Mobai passed a storage bag to Liu Wenbo, who immediately reached out with both hands to respectfully receive it.


    ¡°Master, is this the income from the South Mountain Shop in the five big markets of Jian Country for a month?¡±


    After Liu Wenbo took it, he handed over a small storage bag full of spirit stones to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°You keep it for now, hand it over to your master at the end of the year. If there¡¯s an opportunity in the markets, try to exchange them for high-grade spirit stones.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who now looked down upon these few hundred spirit stones, waved his hand to indicate that Liu Wenbo was now managing branches in five big markets and the expenditure was high, so he was allowed to use them first.


    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±


    After Liu Wenbo nodded, he poured his divine sense into the storage bag in his hand, intending to see how he could arrange manpower to divide these talismans into batches.


    Then he stood frozen in place, his mouth wide open, a shocked look on his face.


    ¡°Big Brother, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡±


    Luo Yixuan, seeing Liu Wenbo¡¯s expression, thought he was possessed, and hurriedly rushed to Chen Mobai¡¯s side, intending to show her concern.


    ¡°Master, aren¡¯t there too many talisman papers!¡±


    Liu Wenbo swallowed, and although he was from a prominent family and was quite world-wise, he had never seen such a scene of three hundred thousand high-quality talisman papers piled together.


    This was a property worth tens of thousands of spirit stones!


    He couldn¡¯t help but tremble.


    ¡°I can move freely in and out of the Divine Tree Secret Realm. These talisman papers are made by me using the lifegiving teachings secret method with the Red Sun Spirit Tree as the raw material. The production can continue endlessly in the future.¡±


    ¡°However, it¡¯s enough if you three know about this, remember not to leak it.¡±


    ¡°From now on, the talisman papers can be stored in the warehouse at the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, the rice barn is empty, Ming¡¯er, you¡¯ll have the trouble of looking after it.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming immediately nodded.


    She was more than willing to be in charge of things.


    Originally, Liu Wenbo intended to ask the mortals who were cultivating the South Mountain to help divide the talisman papers, as before. But three hundred thousand pieces were just too many.


    After reporting to Chen Mobai, he decided that from now on, the South Mountain Shop would mainly supply other talisman paper stores on a large scale, first securing the Jian Country market with low prices and high quality.


    In this way, even if the supply was large, there was no need to divide it into batches. This part of the manual work could be pushed to the talisman paper merchants.


    Chen Mobai suggested a few minor points about this, as the pattern was more mature on the Immortal Sect side.


    After Liu Wenbo learnt about the distributor model, he was enlightened and rode the Qinghong Bird to Yuhu Market to put it into practice overnight.


    ¡°Master, recently, there have been quite a few talisman shops in Divine Wood City who wanted to buy from us.¡±


    Zhuo Ming also mentioned a minor matter, but at the sect, Chen Mobai had no intention of drawing too much attention.


    As per his usual practice, he let Zhuo Ming sell 100 batches of symbols each month, and once they were sold out, there would be no more stock.


    He would not start establishing a monopoly until he became the sect leader or achieved Core Formation.


    ¡°The Xiao Nanshan shop in Divine Wood City only retails the symbols and does not wholesale them.¡±


    Having said this, Chen Mobai, along with Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan, descended the mountain.


    Today happened to be the time when a batch of Spirit Rice matured, and since it was convenient, Chen Mobai was more than willing to go to the fields.


    After a day of busyness, once the Spirit Rice was harvested and stored, Chen Mobai took Zhuo Ming to see the most precious ten-acre Spirit Field planted with Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    ¡°You can already smell the sweet aroma of the rice.¡±


    Chen Mobai snapped off a piece of the healthiest Jade Bamboo, closed his eyes and sniffed the Spirit Rice inside the bamboo, a satisfied expression on his face.


    Clearly, Zhuo Ming had managed these ten acres of Spirit Rice with care.


    ¡°Master, there are three types of hybrid Spirit Rice that are well-adapted, which one do you think is the best?¡±


    After observing the ten-acre Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, Zhuo Ming brought Chen Mobai and Luo Yixuan to see the other hybrid Spirit Rice, an experiment that Chen Mobai had initiated to improve the ten-year maturation period of the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    Over the years, hundreds of trials had been conducted, with many meeting the requirements. Eventually, he selected these three for focused development.


    If the improvement of the rice varieties was successful, their Divine Wood Sect would have a continuous supply of Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    In the short term, it would simply mean one more type of Spirit Rice.


    But what Chen Mobai was thinking of was adding free Spirit Rice to the benefits provided to the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect in the future.


    The more powerful the younger generation, the stronger the sect would become.


    The reason why all citizens in the Immortal Gate could engage in Immortal Cultivation was that everyone had grown up consuming Spirit Rice, ensuring abundant innate Yuan Qi and flawless Spiritual Roots.


    If every Qi Cultivation disciple in the Divine Wood Sect could eat free Rank-1 Spirit Rice, and Foundation Establishment Cultivators had enough Rank-2 Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai was confident that, a hundred years later, he could lead the Divine Wood Sect to become the top sect in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°This Fire Spirit Rice can mature twice a year. Although it doesn¡¯t taste as good as Jade Bud Spirit Rice, the spiritual energy it contains is not inferior.¡±


    ¡°Additionally, the Spirit Rice grown using Phoenix Tear Bamboo in place of Jade Bamboo appears promising in terms of growth and contained spiritual energy. It should be able to mature as Rank-2 Spirit Rice, but it doesn¡¯t need ten years¨CI estimate six or seven years will suffice.¡±


    ¡°However, the most suitable for Master¡¯s intentions should be this Qing Kuo Spirit Rice. This is a Rank-1 Spirit Rice that grows on the plateau in Rock Country and has a strong ability to bear Earth¡¯s energy. After hybridizing with the Jade Bud Spirit Rice, it can achieve perfect complementarity. After several rounds of cultivation, if it can consistently mature as Rank-2, then it will be a completely new Rank-2 Spirit Rice!¡±


    After examining the three types of hybrid Spirit Rice one by one, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t contain his joy and said a phrase.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, you remind me of myself!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan, who was following along, looked enviously at Zhuo Ming, who was bashfully lowering her head.


    Among the three disciples, Chen Mobai was not stingy with his praises, but without a doubt, Zhuo Ming, who had the lowest cultivation level, always received the most praise.


    ¡°Remind me of myself¡±¨Cthese words implied the transmission of power in the future.


    It was the highest praise a teacher could give to a disciple!


    ¡°Watch carefully the Art of Life-giving Thunder obtained during my closed-door cultivation.¡±


    At that moment, Chen Mobai reached out and grasped a stalk of Qing Kuo Spirit Rice from the Spirit Field. The ferocious power of thunder seen in the minds of cultivators suddenly became as gentle as water in his palm, condensing into droplet after droplet, seeping through his fingertips into the roots of the rice stalk.


    Afterwards, it was as if time rapidly moved forward. The hybrid Spirit Rice began to rapidly absorb the Earth¡¯s energy, the atmospheric moisture, and the spiritual energy, maturing and producing ears as it transformed into a stalk with full grain.


    Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan were astonished upon witnessing this scene.


    ¡°It only has a Rank-1 level; it can¡¯t serve as the seed for next year.¡±


    Chen Mobai picked the Qing Kuo Spirit Rice that had been matured by the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, squeezed it to discern the spirit essence within, and shook his head slightly.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Then, he made another move and matured all the Qing Kuo Spirit Rice in the one-acre field.


    Unfortunately, in the end, only three stalks of rice had matured to just meet the Rank-2 level.


    ¡°Take them and plant them. Notify me once they sprout.¡±


    Zhuo Ming nodded repeatedly. If it hadn¡¯t been for the Yi Wood Divine Thunder speeding up the maturation, she would have had to wait at least until next year to see these results.


    [The master is indeed the master, I still have so much to learn!]

 Chapter 613 - Chapter 613: Chapter 395 Hong He_1

    Chapter 613: Chapter 395 Hong He_1


    After testing the vitality of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Chen Mobai became interested.


    He proceeded to allow all the Spirit Rice planted on Xiao Nanshan to mature at once, finding there were some limits.


    Firstly, this maturation couldn¡¯t disregard the grade of the Spirit Plant itself. For example, a Rank-1 Spirit Plant could only be matured to Rank-1.


    Of course, there were occasional Rank-1s that were particularly robust and could grow to Rank-2, as was the case with the hybrid of Qingkuo Spirit Rice and Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice. But even with Zhuo Ming¡¯s attentive cultivation, only three out of a field of Spirit Rice managed to grow to Rank-2.


    This forced maturation, was merely a catalyst of the vitality power of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder. The primary energy source for the maturation of the Spirit Rice still came from the Spirit Field¡¯s earth energy at Xiao Nanshan and the Spiritual Energy, etc.


    Chen Mobai matured an acre of the Qingkuo Jade Bud Spirit Rice, which initially was in a Rank-2 Spirit Field, was now rapidly dropping to Rank-1.


    However, Xiao Nanshan was rich in earth energy, and the lost energy could be recovered by changing the crop and applying fertilizers next year.


    The subject of forced maturation also had to have already grown substantially to withstand the irrigation of vitality.


    If a seed was forced to mature, the seed would weaken and decompose, unable to withstand the powerful influx of vitality.


    After several consecutive days, Chen Mobai finally had accurate understanding of the vitality power of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    Unless it was a vital spirit plant, using this Technique Law was not advisable because it excessively strained the resources available.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, such practices of damaging the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Vein were not permitted.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, I see you¡¯ve been cultivating the Nine Rampart Law Body. Take this piece of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice to replenish your energy.¡±


    That day, Chen Mobai matured a Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice. He took a piece for himself to taste and gave the rest to Zhuo Ming.


    ¡°Master, this is too precious.¡±


    With the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, almost as thick as her forearm and over three meters tall, in her arms, Zhuo Ming shook her head, her eyes wide in astonishment.


    ¡°The most important thing about Body Forging is to have ample Qi and blood. You have spent two years eating Jade Bud Spirit Rice, which has built up your body¡¯s foundation. But to cultivate the Nine Rampart Law Body, you must replenish your body greatly.¡±


    ¡°This Rank-2 Spirit Rice is just right. However, your Realm is still a bit low. Mix it with Rank-1 Spirit Rice for now and eat one piece every seven days. It should be just right for your body to digest. After you finish, come to me for more.¡±


    ¡°According to my estimation, after about five or six years, you should be able to master the Nine Rampart Law Body. By then, even with lacking combat experience, at least no one will be able to beat you.¡±


    After Chen Mobai spoke those words, Zhuo Ming understood his well-intentioned concern. It was about worrying her ability to perform in the Magic Duel.


    ¡°Thank you, master. I certainly won¡¯t disappoint you!¡±


    Holding the large Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice in her arms, Zhuo Ming declared firmly. She promised to work hard and cultivate the Nine Rampart Law Body without fail, not to disgrace the reputation of Xiao Nanshan lineage.


    Listening to this, Luo Yixuan considered whether she should also cultivate a water attribute Body Training Technique, so as not to waste the abundance of varied Spirit Rice in the Xiao Nanshan Warehouse.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing about being disappointed or not, just cultivate normally. Don¡¯t feel stressed and don¡¯t think that the Spirit Rice is precious. After about ten years, I¡¯ll make sure everyone in the sect gets to eat Rank-2 Spirit Rice.¡±


    When Chen Mobai was young, his family was not wealthy. But because Green Mountain Village produced Spirit Rice, his mother would normally mix a handful of Rank-2 Spirit Rice in every meal. Although he had a serious illness in his childhood and his Qi and blood were deficient, he grew up to be full of strength and vigor afterwards.


    ¡°Master, let me cook the rice for you!¡±


    At the foot of the mountain, Luo Yixuan took the piece of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice Chen Mobai had broken off. She started a fire on the spot and took out a flat rock from her storage bag to heat it up. Then she roasted the bamboo piece on it.


    Soon, a faint aroma began to spread.


    Chen Mobai sat on a big rock, while Zhuo Ming fetched a pot of Mountain Spring Water.


    In a short while, the two disciples served him the cooked Mountain Spring Water and Spirit Rice.


    ¡°You two should try too.¡±


    Chen Mobai cut the bamboo piece of Spirit Rice in half with a smile. The roasting released a pleasing mixture of the bamboo¡¯s refreshing scent and the rich aroma of the rice grains. The grains of rice were evenly plump, translucent and glistening, like white jade. The rice was pleasantly soft, fragrant and sticky.


    ¡°Thank you, master.¡±


    Spirit Rice was the most gentle spirit plant. Luo Yixuan, who had achieved Qi Cultivation Perfection, and Zhuo Ming, who was at Qi Cultivation Level 7 and practiced Body Refining Technique, both were offered a small piece. Chen Mobai cut off the best tasting top end for them.


    Just as the two women were eating the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice with blissful expressions, a Message Talisman lit up in the distant sky.


    Luo Yixuan stood up immediately to receive the Message Talisman and handed it to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Elder brother E and elder brother Yuan have returned. Pack up and follow me to Divine Wood City tomorrow.¡±

    Speaking of which, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t seen E Yun for a long time.


    Meeting an old friend brought joy.


    ¡°Master, should we bring some Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice?¡±


    Luo Yixuan reminded him in a whisper. Chen Mobai slapped his forehead, then immediately turned around, matured another piece and handed it to his young disciple to process.


    The next day, Zhuo Ming stayed to guard the house as usual.

 Chapter 614 - Chapter 614: Chapter 395 Hong He_2

    Chapter 614: Chapter 395 Hong He_2


    The master and disciple arrived in Divine Wood City. There were already quite a few people in E Yun¡¯s courtyard.


    It was only late at night, when there were fewer people, that Chen Mobai came to pay a visit.


    ¡°Brother E, try the Spirit Rice I grew in Xiao Nanshan.¡±


    At night, it was the circle of Foundation Establishment cultivators. E Yun, Chen Mobai, Yuan Chiye, and Yue Zutao, all tasted the boiled Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice and couldn¡¯t stop praising it.


    ¡°I feel inferior to the talents of Brother Chen. Anything you want to do, you do it well.¡±


    In the old days, when Chen Mobai went farming, Yuan Chiye lamented in his heart that this man had no ambition to progress; now he thinks about it, it was his own superficiality.


    Whether it¡¯s farming or sword training, or even cultivation, Chen Mobai has reached the peak. At least among his peers, he is the first.


    ¡°Having a high cultivation realm only means being powerful oneself. I hope that when it is our turn to hold the reins of the Divine Wood Sect in the future, we don¡¯t have to act personally. Any disciple can suppress one side. So I just think, can each disciple eat free Spirit Rice, and that¡¯s why I took a fancy to farming.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made the three people present fall into thought. After a long while, Yue Zutao shook his head, indicating that this was almost impossible to achieve.


    The cultivation of Rank-1 Spirit Rice is supported by the sect with ten times the contribution, which was just barely enough to maintain part of the disciples¡¯ use, and some even need to buy from other immortal cultivation families.


    Except for those in the body forging department, all will ensure they consume Spirit Rice and Meat. The rest of the Qi Practitioners solve the problem of hunger basically by using Fasting Pills.


    It can only be said that the cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness are not only ruthless to their enemies, but also to themselves.


    Except for the indispensable pills for cultivation, they won¡¯t skimp; otherwise, for the sake of improving their cultivation, many people have cut off their enjoyment of eating, drinking, and playing, and all are eager to break through the realm, to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Spirit Rice is considered a luxury for many cultivators.


    However, for E Yun and the others, it is clear that if one takes Spirit Rice for a long time, it will also help in reaching Foundation Establishment. At least the process of body transformation would be a bit easier.


    ¡°The success is within people, and I will propose this to the Sect Leader in the future. There are many abandoned Spirit Fields in Giant Tree Ridge, which I find heartbreaking. Let¡¯s see if we can manage to clean them up, and plant all kinds of Spirit Rice.¡±


    Chen Mobai talked about his wishes, and everyone admired his vision and ideal, and they all wished him success.


    In fact, there are more abandoned Spirit Fields in Giant Tree Ridge than medicinal fields, probably thousands of acres in total.


    After all, this place used to be the logistics base of the whole Five Elements Sect, which needed to supply Spirit Rice for tens of thousands of Qi Practitioners a hundred years ago.


    But now, due to the lack of staff in the Divine Wood Sect, they can only maintain the most core and precious part of the medicinal fields.


    The Spirit Fields are supported by ten times the contribution points. As long as the disciples are willing to farm, the seeds, formations, Spiritual Water, etc. are all provided free of charge by the Spirit Plant Department.


    It¡¯s just a pity that even so, the responders are few and far between.


    Just like Chen Mobai, who is considered an anomaly.


    That day.


    At Yin Qingmei¡¯s celebration, Chen Mobai finally met the famed Hong He.


    He looked like a very gentle young man, wearing a white robe, with a straight stature, handsome features, very thin lips, sitting in his place, constantly smiling with his eyes closed.


    Chen Mobai originally thought he was a very arrogant man, but he didn¡¯t expect him to be so amiable.


    ¡°Pleased to meet you, Brother Hong!¡±


    After Chen Mobai had given Yin Qingmei his gifts, he took the initiative to walk over and greet Hong He.


    ¡°You must be Brother Chen, I¡¯ve heard about you from Brother E, you¡¯re very impressive.¡±


    Hong He squinted and smiled, nodding at Chen Mobai, then pointed to an empty seat next to him, inviting the latter to sit down.


    ¡°I don¡¯t like things that are too lively, but I couldn¡¯t skip Yin¡¯s Foundation Establishment celebration.¡±


    After Chen Mobai sat down, Hong He chatted with him like an old friend.


    The other members of the Divine Wood Sect who came in twos and threes, seeing the scene of the conversation between the two top people in the Sect, their originally brisk footsteps unconsciously became more serious. After sending their gifts, they carefully found a location far away from the two.


    ¡°Master wanted to set up a matchmaking between me and Junior Sister Yin, but in reality, I only feel sibling affection for her. Because of this, there was some misunderstanding with Junior Brother Yuan initially. I have always wanted to clarify things, but I was kept busy with defending the Rain Country and only came back to the sect today.¡±


    As Hong He revealed a secret Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know, the latter couldn¡¯t help but be astonished, vaguely understanding why Yue Zutao had said those words back then.


    ¡°Could it be, Junior Brother Yuan and Junior Sister Yin had a romantic past?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know if it could be called romance. But, Junior Brother Yuan and Junior Sister Yin came from the same place, naturally they became close. Then, some people wanting to curry favor with me tried to give him trouble.¡±


    In conversing with Hong He, Chen Mobai finally understood that Yuan Chiye, after just entering the sect, had close relations with Yin Qingmei, which led to him being oppressed by other True Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect. However, his own efforts and connections with E Yun led him to his achievements today.


    By today¡¯s standards, Yuan Chiye has achieved Foundation Establishment. Those True Disciples who oppressed him in the past have either become ordinary Sect Disciples, such as the Rank-9 Qi Practitioners who are the shopkeepers in the Fang Market, or they remain in Giant Tree Ridge, desperately preserving their True Disciple status, striving for the Foundation Building Pill.


    Yuan Chiye¡¯s current achievements are akin to publically slapping their faces.


    At this time, E Yun and Yuan Chiye both came in. Both were taken aback when they saw Chen Mobai and Hong He sitting together.


    After delivering their congratulatory gifts, the two approached.


    ¡°Junior Brother E, Junior Brother Yuan, would you like to join us?¡±


    After greeting them, Hong He enthusiastically invited the two to join, but E Yun and Yuan Chiye quickly declined, saying they had already made arrangements with others.


    [Oh, something seems a bit off.]


    Only now did Chen Mobai notice that since he sat down, no one had dared to approach him.


    What¡¯s going on?


    Did Hong He have a bad reputation?


    Or was his reputation too formidable, making the rest of the Divine Wood Sect disciples afraid to approach?


    ¡°I want to thank all my peers for coming to celebrate today. I have prepared some wine and fruits, please enjoy.¡± At this point, Yin Qingmei came forward.


    Having not seen her for nearly eight years, the little girl from the past had fully blossomed into maturity. Beneath her silver-white dress was a graceful and proud figure. Her beautiful and refined countenance was paired with enchanting brows and eyes, making her stunningly beautiful.


    Chen Mobai sampled the fruit wine and found it better than expected.


    By Yin Qingmei¡¯s side was an old cultivator who was essentially hosting the celebration, as she was just a newly matured girl from a small place, unaccustomed to etiquette and in need of guidance.


    ¡°This is Fu Yuyu.¡±


    As Hong He pointed to the old cultivator beside Yin Qingmei, Chen Mobai recognized the name. He was the grandson of Elder Fu, but his Spiritual Root Talent was mediocre and he hadn¡¯t achieved Foundation Establishment.


    However, Fu Yuyu had an outstanding son, the famous Fu Xingzhou.


    ¡°Speaking of it, after the battle with Shake Mountain last time, only Senior Brother Fu is still missing.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai remembered this matter.


    There were also some missing disciples from the Divine Wood Sect, but all those Qi Practitioners were declared dead a year later.


    Only Fu Xingzhou was still ¡°missing¡±, as the sect could confirm he was still alive.

    ¡°After expressing that I only have fraternal feelings for Junior Sister Yin, Fu Yuyu has always been matchmaking Junior Sister Yin and Senior Brother Fu, hoping to produce outstanding offspring for them. Now that Senior Brother Fu is missing, it¡¯s actually a fortunate thing for Junior Sister Yin.¡±


    Hong He said with a light laugh.


    ¡°It¡¯s surprising that Junior Sister Yin, being Heavenly Spiritual Root, also cannot escape this situation.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that in Eastern Wilderness, female cultivators with excellent Spiritual Root talents were often treated as breeding tools by cultivation families. For instance, his young disciple Luo Yixuan grew up in this shadow.


    However, he never expected that Yin Qingmei, being Heavenly Wood Spiritual Root, would also face such troubles.

 Chapter 615 - Chapter 615: Chapter 396 Im not targeting anyone_1

    Chapter 615: Chapter 396 I¡¯m not targeting anyone_1


    The celebration for Yin Qingmei didn¡¯t just invite young people, like Chen Mobai, who were at the Foundation Establishment stage, but many True Disciples also received invitations and attended the event.


    The Divine Wood Sect, due to splitting from the Five Elements Sect less than a century ago, still has a fairly simple hierarchical structure.


    Two elders guard the three major halls, the others who helped establish the sect, each controlling the twelve branches, are Cultivators who established their foundation. Below them, are young people like Chen Mobai from the Red River, who established their foundation after the founding of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Among them, the line is drawn at Yue Zutao, who is considered a genius within the sect that emerged during both the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s times. He had also been the top head of the Divine Wood Sect for ten years.


    Following Yue Zutao, came people like Fu Xingzhou. However, in those ten years, no one like Chen Mobai or Red River, suppressed and dominated an era with their unstoppable talent.


    Even Fu Xingzhou failed his first attempt at taking the Foundation Building Pill. It took the face-saving intervention of Elder Fu on Qin Mei¡¯s behalf, giving him another pill, for him to narrowly establish his foundation.


    Those like Fu Xingzhou marked a low point for the Divine Wood Sect. After all, at that time, they had just ceased their battle with the Five Elements Sect. Cultivators within their four nations were inherently mistrustful of the Divine Wood Sect, and many Cultivator families were leaning towards the Five Elements Sect, preferring a roundabout journey to send their talents to the Five Elements Sect.


    Fortunately, the incumbent Sect Leader, Meng Hong, identified this problem and lifted restrictions on recruiting disciples.


    Even Loose Cultivators who learned their skills from a variety of sources, so long as they hadn¡¯t committed a great crime, like murder against a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, were welcomed. Everything else was overlooked; the objective was first to bring them in.


    As a result, talents like Red River, E Yun, and Mu Yuan, who were on par with Yue Zutao, came forth.


    Among them, Red River was considered the most gifted talent in the Divine Wood Sect since its establishment, and was almost certainly destined to reach the Core Formation stage.


    Everyone thought Red River was unbeatable, until a few years later when Yin Qingmei, who possessed the Heavenly Spiritual Root, was recruited.


    With the Heavenly Spiritual Root, barring any incidents, core formation was pretty much guaranteed.


    The streak of good luck didn¡¯t stop. The last batch of recruitments brought in Chen Mobai, an unrivalled talent in swordsmanship technique.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual root talent was comparable to that of Red River and others, but the shocking swordsmanship talent he demonstrated allowed everyone in the Divine Wood Sect to see another Mo Douguang in him.


    Even those who knew about Chen Mobai¡¯s ¡°true¡± Sword Dao Realm, such as respected elders like Zhou, believed that Mobai¡¯s swordsmanship talents surpassed even those of Mo Douguang.


    Among the older generation of Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect, only three or four had a fighting chance of reaching the Core Formation stage.


    But, the young ones, like Chen Mobai, who had just established their foundation, seemed to have a high chance of reaching the Core Formation stage.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, a Core Formation Cultivator, was godlike!


    Thus, many older Cultivators of mediocre potential began to hand over their power and authority to these young disciples like Chen Mobai, under the subtle hint of the two senior elders, clearing the path for them to rise.


    If Yue Zutao hadn¡¯t been constrained in his cultivation level by the Tree Fruit, he would probably already be one of the twelve branch inspectors.


    As for Red River, Zhou Wangshen, E Yun, immediately after establishing their foundations, they were appointed to guard three different countries. After ten years of performance, they will get to manage one of the twelve branches of the sect.


    It was a generally accepted consensus within the Divine Wood Sect that the future Sect Leader would emerge from among Red River and the others, following Chu Zuoshu.


    But then who knew that a more monstrous talent, Chen Mobai, would show up.


    Moreover, after Chen Mobai, Yu Lian and Mu Yuan also looked like potential candidates.


    The surge of talent brought both shock and joy to the two senior elders; it also brought dilemmas in choosing a successor.


    However, this was not a pressing matter. Even Zhou Shengqing, the oldest, had two hundred years of life left, and Fu Zongjue was in his prime. They could afford to wait a hundred years to see who was the truest talent.


    The two senior elders had plenty of lifespan and could wait.


    However, some older Cultivators at Foundation Establishment couldn¡¯t wait, and many old Sect members had already started placing their bets on potential successors.


    Among them, Red River was the disciple of elder Fu, and was bestowed with exceptional talent. He was favored by the majority.


    Clashing with Red River¡¯s talent was Zhou Wangshen, the descendant of elder Zhou.


    E Yun was the choice of those in the sect who didn¡¯t want to choose between the two elders, but who were more interested in secluded cultivation. However, these people were not few in number either.


    Today¡¯s celebration for Yin Qingmei was also seen as a display of strength for the Red River branch led by the Penalty Evil Hall.


    However, there will always be those who go against the grain.


    ¡°Brother Red River, I heard that you¡¯ve made a breakthrough to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment while guarding the Rain Country. This is truly a joyous occasion.¡±


    After Yin Qingmei made her entrance and spoke, a Qi Cultivation True Disciple suddenly stood up, walked over to Red River, and proposed a toast with a look of admiration on his face.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing to be mentioned.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Red River responded with a slight smile, graciously downing his drink.


    As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall began to heat up. Many True Disciples, who hadn¡¯t even successfully established their foundation, were shocked to hear Red River had made another breakthrough.


    ¡°I heard that brother Zhou also made an early breakthrough to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. It seems that the future of our sect will be in the hands of brother Red River and brother Wang Wangshen.¡±


    At this moment, another True Disciple spoke up. It was one of Zhou Wangshen¡¯s men.¡±


    ¡°My breakthrough was largely due to the help of external factors. Compared to brother Red River, I¡¯m still a bit behind.¡±

 Chapter 616 - Chapter 616: Chapter 396: Im Not Targeting Anyone_2

    Chapter 616: Chapter 396: I¡¯m Not Targeting Anyone_2


    Unexpectedly, Zhou Wangshen exhibited modesty, humbly admitting he fell short of Hong He. Those who knew his character well couldn¡¯t help but show surprise.


    ¡°By the way, it seems Brother E Yun is somewhat lagging. He¡¯s the only one among the three notorious figures who hasn¡¯t broken through yet.¡±


    Finally, another arranged person spoke up.


    Once those words were spoken, Yuan Chiye, who was standing next to E Yun, changed his expression, giving the speaker a chilling stare.


    However, the person who spoke was Wu Zeyang, one of the newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivators who entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm alongside Chen Mobai. Facing Yuan Chiye¡¯s cold gaze, Wu Zeyang smiled lightly then lowered his head.


    It was well known that Wu Zeyang was a follower of Zhou Wangshen. Under the watchful eyes of the public, Yuan Chiye couldn¡¯t argue with him, especially since what he said was indeed factual.


    [Are they planning to kick E Yun out of the competition first?]


    Everyone in the hall recognized their intention at this point, as it appeared that the forces of Hong He and Zhou Wangshen had unintentionally established a silent agreement on this regard.


    ¡°In terms of cultivation, indeed, I¡¯m inferior to both senior brothers,¡± E Yun admitted, knowing there was nothing he could do. Arguing at this point would make him seem petty. On the contrary, it was better to admit openly his inferiority.


    However, this would likely mean that the position of the sect leader would be out of his grasp unless Meng Hong successfully achieves Core Formation and decides to support him.


    At this point, most of the neutral disciples had already started to underestimate E Yun, as it became evident in their minds that there was a significant disparity among the once equally notorious trio.


    ¡°But I must say, when it comes to leading the sect, one¡¯s cultivation is not as important as their potential to usher the sect into a more promising future.¡±


    At this point, someone within the hall defied the forces at play and voiced an opinion.


    Wu Zeyang frowned, wondering who was being so obstinate.


    Then.


    He saw Chen Mobai.


    Oh, it¡¯s him!


    Wu Zeyang pretended not to hear, glanced at Zhou Wangshen beside him, and lowered his head.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen makes a valid point. However, if we want to develop in the Eastern Wilderness, the most critical factor is strength. Otherwise, even survival is impossible, let alone talking about development and the future.¡±


    Wu Zeyang not speaking up, Zhou Wangshen had to step forth, expressing the most fundamental survival value in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Most people in the room nodded in agreement to this statement.


    Even Hong He conceded that this was true.


    ¡°Senior Brother Zhou, I understand your point, but as long as there¡¯s a higher power present, the cultivation level of the Sect Leader isn¡¯t crucial,¡± Chen Mobai argued.


    ¡°For instance, even if Sect Leader Chu is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he¡¯d still receive the highest hospitality when visiting other major factions in the Eastern Wilderness, all because our Divine Wood Sect has two Golden Core Cultivators.¡±


    ¡°Most of the respect our sect receives from those in the Eastern Wilderness is because of them.¡±


    ¡°Am I making sense?¡±


    At Chen Mobai¡¯s words, many showed realization, as they found it to be actually true.


    Although Chu Zuoshu¡¯s Foundation Establishment ground completion level was indeed powerful, the reason he was highly respected was because he was backed by Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue.


    Upon consideration, the cultivation level of a Sect Leader didn¡¯t seem that important after all.


    ¡°But if the Sect Leader is also at the highest Realm, our sect¡¯s reputation will be even more profound,¡± Zhou Wangshen retorted, maintaining his belief that cultivation level is paramount.


    ¡°What do you think, Senior Brother Hong?¡± Chen Mobai posed the question to Hong He, who shook his head, uttering a straightforward reply.


    ¡°The Sect Leader is a reflection of our sect¡¯s prestige. If their cultivation level is low, I¡¯m afraid it will be ridiculed by other major factions in the Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    This implied support for Zhou Wangshen.


    Unbelievable! Today¡¯s celebration for Yin Qingmei became a public shaming of E Yun. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but shake his head regretfully.


    It seems he has no choice but to step in!


    ¡°If you want to choose a Sect Leader based on cultivation level, no offense to everyone here, but I doubt anyone among you can match me!¡± Chen Mobai declared, letting go of concealing his aura. Using the Pure Yang Scroll to simulate a mid-level Foundation Establishment Red Flame Sword Jue, he demonstrated he was qualified to say such words.


    Upon hearing his words, everyone¡¯s gazes fell on Zhou Wangshen and Hong He.


    No one else in the room could possibly match Chen Mobai.


    His reputation was simply too astonishing.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen is renowned as the number one sword cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect, and his record in the Thunder Nation Battlefield is quite outstanding. I¡¯ve heard about it,¡±


    Zhou Wangshen¡¯s tone hinted at his eagerness to take on Chen Mobai, seeming extremely confident in his own Taoist Body of longevity.


    ¡°You¡¯re not his match. Let me do it.¡±


    However, at this moment, Hong He suddenly intervened.


    ¡°I still want to try.¡±


    Zhou Wangshen stood up confidently and strode towards the center of the hall. A stage originally intended for magic duels during the celebration was right there, used by the host to demonstrate magic.


    And guests engaging each other in sparring was not an unusual occurrence.


    Even though Chen Mobai had a great reputation, Zhou Wangshen believed that with his adept Taoist Body of Longevity, he could stand on the same stage as Chen Mobai, against the same opponent from Mountain Shaker Peak.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then pardon my inadequacy.¡±


    Despite being able to defeat his enemy in one move, Chen Mobai gave due respect to Zhou Wangshen¡¯s ancestor and gracefully stepped onto the stage. His right hand opened, a gleaming lightning column condensed slowly into a head-sized thunderball in the palm of his hand, which he slammed forcefully into the fully armed chest of Zhou Wangshen.


    With the cracking sound, Zhou Wangshen¡¯s Taoist Body armor shattered and he was pushed back more than ten steps, narrowly avoiding being propelled off the stage by the thunderball.


    ¡°Rank-3 thunder method!¡±


    Zhou Wangshen, with a hoarse voice, looked behind him. Only had he taken one more step, he would have fallen off the stage.


    But as one of the duelers, he was well aware that it wasn¡¯t him who blocked the attack, but Chen Mobai had intentionally pulled back.


    ¡°Senior brother Hong, please.¡±


    After defeating Zhou Wangshen in a single move, Chen Mobai then invited Hong He onto the stage.


    ¡°Your Longevity Taoist body is still in its early stages of mastery.¡±


    When Hong He stepped onto the stage, he looked disappointedly at Zhou Wangshen who was in trance walking off the stage. The opponent he expected to pressurize him over the next century is surprisingly weak which made him feel a bit unhappy.


    But it didn¡¯t matter anymore.


    After all, he had another target to drive himself.


    Hong He liked putting pressures on himself. He found that as long as someone was chasing him, his cultivation speed to the Broken Mirror stage would considerably increase. That¡¯s why he loved the Divine Wood Sect.


    Because there he had E Yun and Zhou Wangshen.


    And in the future, he would have Heavenly Spiritual Root Yin Qingmei and the unprecedented sword cultivation genius Chen Mobai.


    The fact that Chen Mobai had progressed too quickly had somewhat taken Hong He by surprise.


    Now, it was time to rectify it!


    Even though Hong He enjoyed pressure, that pressure was of being chased by others and not of chasing others.


    He couldn¡¯t allow the roles to reverse.


    Thinking so, Hong He opened his narrowed eyes. Chen Mobai was shocked by his pair of dark green pupils.


    Hong He had cultivated the Azure Waves Cultivation, a common technique of the Divine Wood Sect dealing with water attribute. This cultivation technique was not even as strong as the Blackwater Cultivation.


    However, it was this technique that helped Hong He to dominate in the Divine Wood Sect for ages.


    As both of them were fellow sect members practicing against each other, they didn¡¯t use any magic artifacts or charms. They purely competed using their cultivation techniques.


    Hong He flicked his five fingers towards Chen Mobai and forcefully outstretched his palm.


    An enormous transparent hand, enveloping half the hall, emerged out of thin air, and the surging tidal waves came with a potential to sweep away everything in its path, fiercely landed.


    Chen Mobai, despite his self-confidence, never underestimated any opponent. When Hong He performed Azure Waves Cultivation, he also decided to give it his all.


    He spat out an azure sword pill from his mouth.


    With a whiz!


    A fleeting light appeared and it looked like a beautiful scene opening up the monotony, pressing pause on the stormy sea, and it immediately turned into a tranquil sunset.


    The sunset glow on the calm sea was curling and uncurling itself, depicting a beautiful yet calm scene.

    Hong He only felt a burning and piercing pain in his hand. He stared blankly at the tiny puncture in the center of his palm.


    Through the hollow in his palm, he saw Chen Mobai across, swallowing the azure sword pill.


    ¡°Green Flames Sword Slaughter?!¡±


    It was an unbelievable question from Hong He.


    ¡°Oh, didn¡¯t you guys know that I¡¯ve mastered the Sword Sha? I¡¯ve been wondering why you guys dared to challenge me!¡±

 Chapter 617 - Chapter 617: Chapter 397 - Changes of Spiritual Root 1

    Chapter 617: Chapter 397 ¨C Changes of Spiritual Root 1


    Chen Mobai originally thought that his successful practice of Sword Sha was already widely publicized.


    He even thought that Hong He and Zhou Wangshen both possessed strengths equivalent to Sword Sha, which was why they dared to challenge him to a magic duel.


    Who would have thought that ignorance is truly bliss?


    After calming the room, the words spoken by Chen Mobai were finally recognized by everyone.


    ¡°The talent Chen Mobai has for the Sword Dao truly stands out from the ordinary.¡±


    Even after losing, Hong He conceded without reservations.


    ¡°I just happened to be better at duelling.¡±


    When facing his peers, Chen Mobai was rather modest. But the gaze of the crowd was different now ¡ª he was no longer seen as just slightly superior, but as completely invincible.


    If one were to judge by the cultivation realm and magic duels, it was certain that he would be the future sect leader.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I will catch up with you in the future,¡± Hong He said hopefully, expressing his determination. Despite his loss, he believed that it was mainly because his cultivation techniques and magic abilities were lacking.


    At the Foundation Establishment level, this Green Flames Sword Slaughter was invincible.


    However, at least both of their cultivation realms were on par¨Cboth at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.


    Hong He decided to work harder in this aspect, striving to be the first among his peers to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, or even Core Formation.


    Chen Mobai simply nodded and didn¡¯t say anything more.


    The celebration continued as planned.


    Yin Qingmei took the stage and demonstrated her Longevity Technique. With her Heavenly Wood spiritual foundation, practicing this specific technique from the Divine Wood Sect made her highly advantageous.


    Though she had only just started her Foundation Establishment, her Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light evolved like a spirit snake, demonstrating a proficiency that made everyone feel inadequate.


    However, Chen Mobai noticed traces of the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue in Yin Qingmei¡¯s technique.


    It was a technique he had reported to the two Elders and was likely taught to Yin Qingmei by the Elder Fu, considering her status.


    Later, when Yin Qingmei came to give him a toast, Chen Mobai exchanged a few words with her, recalling their first encounter in Southstream Market and once again expressing his gratitude.


    ¡°I was just doing my duty as a messenger,¡± Yin Qingmei said with a smile. Clearly, she remembered the incident from eight years ago. In fact, even if she had forgotten about all the other disciples she recruited in Yun Country, she would not forget about Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I think you seem to have practiced the Spirit Light Hundred Changes Jue. There¡¯s a companion skill called Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue, which I also obtained from the Divine Tree Secret Realm,¡± said Chen Mobai. He intended to pass it on to Yin Qingmei as gratitude for her help.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Chen, for passing on the secret technique. I¡¯m also about to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm to receive the sect¡¯s real inheritance. I¡¯ve heard that Brother Chen is the person in the sect who is most familiar with the secret realm, so may I ask if you can provide some guidance in the future?¡±


    After Chen Mobai passed on the Spirit Light Incorporating Weapons Jue, Yin Qingmei¡¯s eyes brightened. She even paddled the canoe further, asking him about the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    ¡°Not a problem at all. I should be in Divine Wood City for a while, so feel free to visit whenever you¡¯re free.¡±


    When Yin Qingmei finished her toast, it signalled that the time was almost up.


    Chen Mobai was the first to excuse himself.


    Once he left, Hong He found the gathering dull, and following him, the newly promoted cultivators at Foundation Establishment like Zhou Wangshen and E Yun also began to excuse themselves.


    In the end, only a few regular Qi Cultivation disciples remained. They took advantage of this rare opportunity to exchange knowledge amongst themselves, and only dispersed in the late hours of the night.


    [Yin Qingmei¡¯s Spiritual Roots: Gold 2, Wood 83, Water 6, Fire 4, Earth 5]


    After looking at the data displayed on his palm-sized Spirit-Testing Instrument, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    ¡°Brother Chen, what do you think?¡±


    Sitting opposite him, Yin Qingmei asked nervously. She came to visit today to ask about the Divine Tree Secret Realm. Chen Mobai decided to first check her spiritual root values.


    ¡°With your Heavenly Wood Spirit Root, you should definitely receive the best opportunities in the Secret Realm. The most suitable for you in the Magic Treasure Tree should be the ¡®Verdant Wood Heart¡¯, but if you obtain the ¡®Longevity Fruit¡¯, don¡¯t get discouraged.¡±


    ¡°The Talent Tree will give you a suitable refining technique for the treasures you obtain from the Magic Treasure Tree. But it¡¯s also possible that due to your excellent Spiritual Root, you might stem the real inheritance technique of the Eternal Sect.¡±


    ¡°As for the final Divine Dao Tree, just relax and try your best to move forward.¡±


    Chen Mobai was able to share his rich experiences, but given that Yin Qingmei did not practice Duality Gong, it was relatively easy to speculate the benefits she could receive from the Secret Realm.


    ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Brother Chen.¡±


    Hong He shared his experience in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, but he believed his level of understanding was not as deep as Chen Mobai¡¯s, hence she decided to come and visit him for more advice.


    ¡°I hope you don¡¯t mind if I ask, how far did you manage to step forward in front of the Divine Dao Tree?¡±


    Before leaving, Yin Qingmei couldn¡¯t help but ask that question. As many cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect would not publicize their achievements here, because they generally don¡¯t perform well.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Try not to have unrealistic aspirations, sister.¡±


    In response, Chen Mobai only replied with a light smile.


    He was not one to show off, therefore he didn¡¯t mention that he had recently managed 12 steps, nearly passing the final challenge in front of the Divine Dao Tree.


    ¡°I accept your advice, Brother Chen. I understand.¡±


    Yin Qingmei bowed her head in apology, yet deep down, she felt somewhat unconvinced.

 Chapter 618 - Chapter 618: Chapter 397 Spiritual Root Changes_2

    Chapter 618: Chapter 397 Spiritual Root Changes_2


    She had heard from Hong He that she had taken nine and a half steps. This was already the best result since the establishment of the Divine Wood Sect.


    She always considered herself to have a Heavenly Spiritual Root, her talent being above all others. If the Divine Tree Secret Realm truly depended on one¡¯s innate abilities, she believed she could surpass Hong He and even Chen Mobai. She might even become the first newly established Foundation Establishment disciple to come into contact with the body of the Talent Tree itself.


    After seeing off Yin Qingmei, Chen Mobai was about to put the Spirit-Testing Instrument from his palm back into its place when he suddenly thought that he hadn¡¯t tested himself for quite some time. Thus, he injected a stream of Spiritual Power into it.


    [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 49, Water 20, Fire 72, Earth 14]


    Huh!


    Chen Mobai thought the Spirit-Testing Instrument hadn¡¯t been cleared properly. He injected another stream of Spiritual Power, but the Spiritual Root values it showed were exactly the same as before, causing his eyes to widen in disbelief.


    He had reached a Cultivation Level where he could easily remember everything at a glance.


    Chen Mobai remembered that when he had just cultivated the Five Yang Body at the beginning of the year, his Spiritual Root Value was [Gold 23, Wood 45, Water 16, Fire 72, Earth 10].


    How could it be that after less than half a year, his Spiritual Root Value had increased?


    Moreover, what had increased were the Wood, Water, and Earth attributes, each by exactly 4 points.


    Had he consumed a rare treasure that could enhance one¡¯s Spiritual Roots?


    A thought flashed through Chen Mobai¡¯s mind and he realized something.


    The Immortal Peach Fruit!


    That was the only thing he had consumed recently.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that this Rank-3 Spirit Fruit would actually enhance his Spiritual Root Value.


    He had truly refined four Immortal Peach Fruits! The Wood, Earth, and Water attributes of his Spiritual Roots had increased by 4 points, which was exactly right!


    ¡°Another loss!¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed with regret. Any change in his Spiritual Root Value would lead to an update in his talent tree¡¯s technique law. If he had known beforehand that consuming the Immortal Peach Fruit could enhance his Spiritual Roots, for each fruit he consumed, he would have gone to the Talent Tree straightaway.


    But there was no workaround for this, given that at that time he was just focused on raising his cultivation level and wasn¡¯t paying attention to these details.


    The discovery wasn¡¯t too late, at least he could still pluck something from the Talent Tree.


    And now that he knew that the Immortal Peach Fruit could enhance Spiritual Roots, if he waited until the mother tree on Black Cloud Mountain matured again, he could try to get some more fruits to taste and see if there was an upper limit to the enhancement of Spiritual Roots.


    In the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai looked at the Devouring Heaven Serpent happily grazing. He threw some Spirit Stones to it and leisurely walked towards the Talent Tree.


    This time, he obtained a technique law called the ¡°Kindwood Mantra¡±.


    This was the Method of Cultivating Spiritual Plants.


    It could turn any mature Spirit Plant into a seed. For instance, if Chen Mobai didn¡¯t consume the Immortal Peach Fruit, he could use the ¡°Kindwood Mantra¡± to turn it into a seed.


    As long as there was sufficient earth qi energy, a seed transformed through the Kindwood Mantra was guaranteed to sprout and survive.


    The purpose of this Cultivation Technique was to enable the large-scale migration of precious Spirit Plants.


    However, this ¡°Kindwood Mantra¡± required Cultivation to be able to work on Spirit Medicines and Plants of the corresponding Grade.


    For instance, right now Chen Mobai could only use the ¡°Kindwood Mantra¡± to turn Rank-1 Spiritual Medicines and Plants into seeds. If he could cultivate it to Rank-3, then he could turn the Immortal Peach mother tree on Black Cloud Mountain into a seed and move it here, ensuring it survives.


    ¡°The techniques from this Longevity Sect are rather interesting.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt that both the Jia Wood Jue and the Kindwood Mantra were more precious than the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Longevity Scripture and Red Flame Sword Jue. Muttering to himself, he took out the treasured Large Tung Flower Root Stem from his storage bag.


    Chen Mobai had used a grafting method to combine it with a Rank-3 tea branch from the Bai family. Whether it could be cultivated into a new type of tea through the method described by Wenren Xuewei was up to fate.


    He brought this stem in front of the Talent Tree.


    This particular Talent Tree was covered with signs of attacks. Chen Mobai carefully chose a sword wound that he himself had inflicted and inserted the grafted tea branch and root stem into it.


    According to Wenren Xuewei¡¯s thesis, a powerful Spirit Tree would nurture the tea branch into a living plant and then cultivate a new tea variety.


    However, while she could use the Big Tree for repeated trials and errors, Chen Mobai could only attempt that method desperately.


    He didn¡¯t hold high hopes for the outcome anyway.


    After all, if he ran out of tea leaves, he could always buy more from the Bai family.


    Before leaving the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai turned around, hoping to find a Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    However, his luck was evidently not as good as Mu Yuan¡¯s. Even after exploring this Secret Realm for several years, he couldn¡¯t find a single one.


    Although he could synthesis Qingyang Spirit Wood artificially using the Jia Wood Jue technique, Chen Mobai felt that it was time to start planning his quest for this spiritual wood resource within the Secret Realm.


    ¡°Master, are you making puppets?¡±


    In the courtyard of Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai combined the parts he had made into a eight-legged spider puppet ¨C something Luo Yixuan had never seen before.


    ¡°Yes, I hope it will be useful. I need to find some things.¡±


    Searching alone in the vast Divine Tree Secret Realm would be time-consuming, so Chen Mobai decided to create a puppet capable of automatically seeking Qingyang Spirit Trees.


    His years under Che Yucheng¡¯s tutelage were not in vain, hence this palm-sized spider puppet was his replicated creation.


    It was also a type of combat puppet used by the Immortal Gate; Chen Mobai made some modifications. The original version could autonomously record patrolling targets and scan every inch within a radius of a hundred miles, transmitting the data in real-time to a controlling host.


    But Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t afford such a host and core chip, so he set a simple self-destruct program.


    The puppet would be highly sensitive to the scent of Green-sun Fire, and would instantaneously disintegrate upon contact with it.


    Chen Mobai, using rank-1 Heavenly Calculation Bead in place of the host, controlled ten small spider puppets, and began the slow search for Qingyang Spirit Trees within the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    He just needed to come to the Secret Realm when he had spare time, take out the Heavenly Calculation Bead stored nearby the Devouring Heaven Serpent, and check the data within to see if any progress was made.


    ¡°Master, you are truly versatile, you even understand puppet-making.¡±


    Luo Yixuan expressed her heartfelt admiration. She had been helping at the side for several days, but most of the parts she fashioned had errors, with only one or two being used by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Yu Lian is coming over tonight, prepare some good food and drinks.¡±


    Chen Mobai simply responded with a slight smile to his disciple¡¯s praise. After collecting the replaced parts of the spider puppet, he instructed Luo Yixuan on a task.


    Although Yu Lian was also a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator, his awkward position within the sect made him close to invisible.


    But Chu Zuoshu has indeed taken Chen Mobai¡¯s advice. Yu Lian was even invited back for Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation opportunity, clearly showing impartiality and intending to highlight the fairness and justice of the sect.


    ¡°What¡¯s the situation at Lonely Spirit Ridge?¡±


    After Yu Lian reached Foundation Establishment, he was sent by Chu Zuoshu to guard the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s most precious Void Mysterious Stone Mine. He had visited that place with Shan Hongyi once before.


    Moreover, pretty much everyone with vested interests knew about this Void Mysterious Stone Mine after its battle with Shake Mountain peak.


    So when Chen Mobai asked, Yu Lian didn¡¯t hold anything back and shared some of his experiences over the past year.


    ¡°Sister Mei from the Spirit Vein Department came back with me this time. She has applied for a leave next year, so the sect will probably need to assign another Foundation Establishment cultivator to go there.¡±


    Mei Jingjun was a cultivator who went to Lonely Spirit Ridge to seek opportunity with Yan Jinye. However, in order to keep the matters a secret and due to some suspicion, she was sent to mine in the same place while being kept under surveillance by Grand Elder Zhou.


    But now, as the matter of the Void Mysterious Stone Mine is no longer a secret and Mei Jingjun didn¡¯t seem to have any problems under the department director¡¯s watch within a year, the sect thus agreed to her return request.


    ¡°By the way, just before I returned to the sect, I received this note. You wouldn¡¯t believe who gave it to me.¡±


    Suddenly, Yu Lian handed Chen Mobai a bright yellow talisman paper.


    ¡°Who?¡±


    ¡°Lady Guo!¡±


    Upon hearing this name, Chen Mobai¡¯s hand that was holding the talisman paper paused slightly.


    ¡°I saw with my own eyes, she died by the hand of Daoist Feiming.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°She claimed herself as ¡®Lady Guo¡¯!¡±


    Yu Lian had been at the Qi Cultivation stage then, but had also heard about Lady Guo¡¯s affairs.


    ¡°What else did she say?¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the talisman paper in his hand, which was adorned with a five-colored lotus lamp, and his face turned strange.


    ¡°She told me to give this to you and said she wants to make a deal with you.¡±

 Chapter 619 - Chapter 619: 398

    Chapter 619: 398


    ¡°Does anyone else know about this matter?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked Yu Lian, as he watched the bright yellow talisman paper, his expression remained usual.


    ¡°No, only I know.¡±


    Yu Lian reassured with a firm expression, stating that no one else saw the talisman paper when he got it.


    ¡°The Void Mysterious Stone Mine is the most valuable resource of our sect. It¡¯s best not to have any unforeseen circumstances.¡±


    Chen Mobai suddenly said something meaningful that left Yu Lian somewhat confused.


    ¡°Could Chen Senior Brother enlighten me?¡±


    ¡°You are now a part of the Spirit Vein Department. During your performance review, submit this talisman paper as well. The Spirit Vein Department will report this matter, the Sect Leader will undoubtedly meet you. You need not hide anything, just truthfully report everything you know.¡±


    After Chen Mobai spoke these words, Yu Lian pondered for a moment, then his expression became enlightened.


    ¡°Senior Brother¡¯s foresight is far greater than mine. If not for your guidance, once this matter was exposed, I would be in an extremely difficult position in the sect.¡±


    ¡°We should always act upright and proper. In any situation, our first thought should be to report to the higher-ups of the sect. After all, if the sky were to fall, our two ancestors would be there to hold it up. Be sure not to be too smart for your own good.¡±


    Chen Mobai always behaved upright and proper, after all, he had never done anything dishonest.


    Madam Guo likely tried to tempt him with this Rank-3 Lotus Lamp, but Chen Mobai himself owns a Rank-3 Magic Artifact, and he might even get to control a Rank-4 sword artifact in the future, so he really has no interest in the magic artifacts of the Tianhe Realm.


    If he could thoroughly acquire the Five-Colored Lotus Lamp, Chen Mobai would naturally be willing.


    But if he has to take the slightest risk because of it, it¡¯s absolutely not acceptable.


    This matter also relates to the Void Mysterious Stone Mine, which are assets that the two ancestors care the most about at this stage.


    Furthermore, he found the lamp stand of the Five-Colored Lotus Lamp in the storage bag of the Yinming Messenger from Huangquan Road. If this really involves Ghost Cultivators, it¡¯s better to clear himself of this matter.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, Yu Lian reported the matter about the talisman paper and Madam Guo to the Vice Minister of the Spirit Vein Department, Deng Dajin, during his performance review the next day.


    As the Minister of the Spirit Vein Department, Ma Gang, was leading the disciples to mine Void Stones for the past two years, Deng Dajin was the one in charge of the Spirit Vein Department.


    Since the matter was about the Void Mysterious Stone Mine, Deng Dajin had no hesitation and directly took Yu Lian to Shenmu Hall to report it to Chu Zuoshu.


    Not long after, a spiritual talisman summoning Chen Mobai arrived.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be back tonight.¡±


    Chen Mobai instructed Luo Yixuan, before he himself went to Shenmu Hall.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, do you know Madam Guo?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never met her, but I saw with my own eyes that she was killed by Senior Brother Feiming, however, her corpse mysteriously disappeared after the battle. I have reported this to the previous Sect Leader, Meng Hong.¡±


    Chen Mobai told the truth, Zhou Shengqing himself had personally gone to Lonely Spirit Ridge at that time, but he didn¡¯t find anything unusual.


    ¡°Do you know what is on this talisman paper?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu trusted Chen Mobai, so after asking that, he directly moved on to the main point, unfolding the bright yellow talisman paper that Yu Lian had handed over.


    ¡°I do. It¡¯s the artifact that Senior Brother Feiming used, which I now possess.¡±


    Chen Mobai took out the complete Five-Colored Lotus Lamp from his storage bag.


    ¡°Oh, the artifact that Junior Brother Chen has is even more complete than the one drawn on the talisman paper.¡±


    After carefully comparing the two, Chu Zuoshu noticed the difference. The lamp on the talisman paper didn¡¯t have a stand.


    ¡°I found this lamp stand in the storage bag of the Ghost Cultivator I killed. It matched perfectly with the lamp. However, at first, this lamp stand appeared at the auction of the Star Heaven Chamber of Commerce¡­ Could this be related to the Ghost Cultivator from Huangquan Road?¡±


    Chen Mobai was completely loyal to the sect; he reported the matter of the Five-Colored Lotus Lamp to Chu Zuoshu without any concealment.


    Chu Zuoshu¡¯s face turned solemn after hearing it.


    ¡°I will report this to the ancestors.¡±


    As the matter concerned Huangquan Road, Chu Zuoshu was uncertain and could only report it to Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue again.


    Soon, the two ancestors descended in the Shenmu Hall.


    ¡°This is¡­ a Soul Summoning Lamp?¡±


    Unexpectedly, Zhou Shengqing recognized the Five-Colored Lotus Lamp and, with a trace of hesitation, said. Chen Mobai immediately respectfully handed it to him for a closer look.


    ¡°No mistake, it should be the Soul Summoning Lamp, a must-have for transforming into Ghost and Corpse Cultivators.¡±


    After both Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue inspected it, they confirmed the origins of the Five-Colored Lotus Lamp and nodded in agreement.


    Cultivators at the end of their lifespan, some of them deeply reluctant to undergo reincarnation, decide to tread the path of evil.


    Among these, Ghost and Corpse Cultivation are evil methods that allow one to keep their Divine Sense and forcefully remain in the world.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, the success rate of transforming from a Qi Practitioner into a Ghost or Corpse Cultivator is extremely low.


    After countless experiments by many Cultivators, the artifact, Soul Summoning Lamp was researched and created.


    Before transforming into a Ghost or Corpse Cultivator, one¡¯s soul is hidden in the lamp, maintaining the imperishability of the Heart Flame, Soul Spirit, and Divine Sense.


    For instance, Feiming was able to endure the long process of his flesh transforming into a zombie because of this Soul Summoning Lamp.


    ¡°This thing is invaluable for those old guys.¡±

 Chapter 620 - Chapter 620: Chapter 398 Core Formation and Heavenly Tribulation?_2

    Chapter 620: Chapter 398 Core Formation and Heavenly Tribulation?_2


    Zhou Shengqing held the Soul Summoning Lamp, involuntarily marveling at it.


    This item was essentially a Demon Dao artifact, which was prohibited in most parts of the Eastern Region.


    For instance, in the Eastern Land Domain, everyone regards themselves as upright and honorable. Ghost and corpse cultivators are generally shunned by all. Hence, items like the Soul Summoning Lamp can only be bought and sold in secret.


    Outside of the Eastern Land Domain, things weren¡¯t as strict.


    ¡°Many old timers nearing the end of their lifespan would secretly travel to East Li to purchase a Soul Summoning Lamp. There are many Demon Sect artifact refining experts over there who make a hefty amount of Spirit Stones and accumulate resources by selling these artifacts.¡±


    If Zhou Shengqing had not broken through to the Nascent Soul stage by the end of his lifespan, he had also considered taking this route.


    ¡°Ancestor, since the Soul Summoning Lamp is so precious, why not let the sect keep it.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately spoke up with righteous indignation. After all, he felt that he probably didn¡¯t need the Soul Summoning Lamp anymore.


    ¡°If I were to use a Soul Summoning Lamp, I¡¯d prefer a Rank-4 one. Moreover, the usage method of each Soul Summoning Lamp varies.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing shook his head, handing the Soul Summoning Lamp in his hand to Chen Mobai. He was on the verge of Perfect Core Formation and a Rank-3 Soul Summoning Lamp could not fully accommodate his entire mind and soul.


    ¡°Ancestor, if Mrs. Guo might be involved with the Road to the Underworld, how should we handle it?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked about this matter again.


    ¡°You go and meet her. However, what ghosts are best at is creating clones, so don¡¯t hold out too much hope.¡±


    With Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words, Chen Mobai felt assured.


    In Shenmu Hall, on a piece of bright yellow talisman paper, he wrote an address and lit it on fire. In no time, the paper was burned to ashes and the content on it was revealed to those who knew how to see.


    ¡°Jade Stone Mountain!¡±


    Chen Mobai chose the location where the Guo family¡¯s Spirit Veins were situated, a place he had visited when he was touring Green Phoenix Market last time.


    Mrs. Guo was a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Guo family. After she died, the Guo family began to decline sharply. They were already selling their properties, preparing to flee to the Five Elements Sect.


    However, after Chen Mobai killed Hong Xu and the Divine Wood Sect swept the Loose Repair Alliance, the Guo family found that most of their major enemies had disappeared.


    Another enemy, a powerful man named Dou Yewang, seemed to have gotten wind of something and directly fled to the neighboring Snow Country.


    The Guo family had managed to weather the storm but had still sent a portion of their family core to the Five Elements Sect to join Guo Boyear. However, some elders and family branches hadn¡¯t left and were still holding up the name of the Guo family in the Founding Nation.


    Chen Mobai, equipped with a Body-Protecting talisman given by Zhou Shengqing, took a teleportation array to the Green Phoenix Market. After inspecting his shops, he arrived at the Guo family¡¯s Jade Stone Mountain under the cover of night.


    This Jade Stone Mountain had been sold by the Guo family to various powerful forces in Green Phoenix Market, with the Divine Wood Sect holding the largest share.


    As the guard of the Founding Nation from the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai easily entered the place.


    However, he didn¡¯t release the restrictions. He wanted to see what this mysterious entity, acting in the name of Mrs. Guo, was capable of.


    When the moon had reached its zenith¡­


    Standing on a peak, Chen Mobai suddenly changed his expression. Facing the white fog seeping out of the ground before his eyes, his eyes sparkled brilliantly.


    Under his Void Spirit Eye, he saw a mysterious divine consciousness fluctuation that transcended physical restrictions. It passed through the large formation of Jade Stone Mountain, drilled into it along the Spirit Vein energy, and consolidated in front of him into a voluptuous, pale-skinned young woman.


    ¡°May I ask your name?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked politely.


    ¡°I¡¯ve forgotten the name I was known by before I went to sleep. You can just call me Mrs. Guo.¡±


    A slightly husky voice with a magnetic quality echoed. Chen Mobai was a bit skeptical if the person in front of him was really a ghost.


    ¡°What do you need from me?¡±


    ¡°I have lost my memory. I suspect that lamp could be of help to me, so I want to take it back.¡±


    After Mrs. Guo finished speaking, she reached out her right hand towards Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Oh, I can¡¯t agree to that. I went through a great deal to collect this Soul Summoning Lamp.¡±


    During this conversation, Chen Mobai took out the fully assembled Five-Colored Lotus Lamp. Mrs. Guo¡¯s eyes lit up and she immediately extended her hand towards the lamp.


    With a hiss!


    Chen Mobai swung the finger of his right hand lightly, and a sword light, splashed with the flames of Qingyang Fire, severed Mrs. Guo¡¯s right hand.


    However, even though the severed fog hand was dissipating under the burn of the flame, Mrs. Guo calmly differentiated into ten more fog ghost claws and scratched towards Chen Mobai from all directions.


    Although Chen Mobai had many ways to deal with this, he felt it was better to conserve energy since he had a backer this time.


    He immediately crushed the talisman in his sleeve.


    In a short while, a streak of green light lit up in the sky and Zhou Shengqing, who had been waiting long ago, charged over.


    When the Golden Core Ancestor made his move, it was naturally extraordinary.


    Five fingers splayed, with a move called Drawing Ground into Prison, he directly extracted Mrs. Guo who had turned into white fog and wanted to escape by seeping into the ground.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    However, Mrs. Guo, who was imprisoned in the wood cage, just frowned and broke into pieces of Bone Jade.


    ¡°It was indeed just a clone after all.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing had a gloomy face as he dispelled the wooden prison and with a breath of flame, burned the shattered Bone Jade into nothingness.


    ¡°Ancestor, can we confirm that she is a ghost cultivator from the Road to the Underworld?¡±


    ¡°More likely than not. But it¡¯s also possible that it¡¯s some old timer who had a problem during the process of becoming a ghost cultivator. Likely a Golden Core cultivator while alive.¡±

 Chapter 621 - Chapter 621: Chapter 398 Core Formation and Heavenly Tribulation?_3

    Chapter 621: Chapter 398 Core Formation and Heavenly Tribulation?_3


    Zhou Shengqing had only exchanged moves once, but he still acknowledged the strength of Madam Guo quite respectfully. Even though her memories of her previous life were gone, her demeanor and style were extraordinary.


    Chen Mobai mentally estimated it and figured that if he went all out, he should be able to suppress Madam Guo.


    However, the most formidable thing about Ghost Cultivators is that they are no longer bound by their physical bodies. If the key they¡¯re attached to isn¡¯t found, it¡¯s hard to completely obliterate them.


    Last time at the White Moon Market, the Ghost Cultivator was careless. He assumed that killing Chen Mobai, a budding Foundation Establishment cultivator, would be a piece of cake.


    After following Zhou Shengqing back to Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai forgot about Madam Guo.


    Because Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation momentum was getting stronger and stronger.


    Many of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect had already gathered around the Three Divine Trees.


    This is the place in Giant Tree Ridge where the Spiritual Energy is the strongest. Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue each occupied a Divine Tree, and the remaining one, the one key to opening the Divine Tree Secret Realm, was given to Meng Hong.


    ¡°Strange, why is the celestial phenomenon so dreadful during Core Formation?¡±


    Chen Mobai had seen many videos of cultivators at the Perfection of Foundation Establishment stage undergoing Core Formation in the immortal realm, but none of them were like Meng Hong. Over the Divine Tree where he was secluded, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and not only was there a bit of icy rain, but there were also flashes of thunderous flames.


    ¡°Core Formation is seizing the heavens and earth, naturally there is Heavenly Tribulation to obstruct it.¡±


    The one who said this was Hong He. Chen Mobai arrived late, and there was no longer a good location to watch. He saw that the spot where Hong He was had a good view, and only he was there, so he shamelessly went over to squeeze in.


    Seeing it was him, Hong He had no choice.


    ¡°Core Formation also has Heavenly Tribulation?¡±


    Chen Mobai heard his words and was completely baffled.


    ¡°Of course, not only does Core Formation have Heavenly Tribulation, but Nascent Soul Formation, Divinity Transformation, even Ascendance, each stage has Heavenly Tribulation. However, the Three Divine Trees are nature¡¯s Spirit Wood, perfectly compatible with the longevity scripture, they can block most of the Heavenly Tribulation¡¯s power.¡±


    Hong He assumed that Chen Mobai was young and hadn¡¯t read any information about Core Formation, so he began to share what he knew.


    Core Formation is already the pinnacle of cultivation in the Eastern Wilderness. It¡¯s an existence that can be revered and referred as an ancestor, and also a peak in the cultivation path.


    Therefore, besides the perfection of one¡¯s internal cultivation, one also needs to endure the test of heaven and earth.


    Generally speaking, cultivators practicing Wood Attribute Cultivation Techniques will face Heavenly Fire Tribulation.


    Once they can withstand it, those talented can even comprehend the Dao of Five Elements Reversal, and they don¡¯t need to fear the restraint of fire attributes during Magic Duels.


    ¡°Where does this Heavenly Tribulation come from?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, lining up with his own experiences, he felt like he was getting an idea of the difference between Immortal Realm Core Formation and the Core Formation here.


    ¡°Heavenly Tribulation comes from the heaven and earth, naturally it¡¯s the formation of condensed nature¡¯s spiritual energy.¡±


    Hong He replied with a strange look. This kind of knowledge, even without reading, should be understood from its literal meaning.


    Chen Mobai really is a pure-hearted Sword Cultivator to not know even this!


    ¡°I see.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in realization, he now roughly knew what the reason was.


    The nature¡¯s spiritual energy of Di Yuan star was all manipulated by the Immortal Realm. Without an energy source, the Heavenly Tribulation naturally couldn¡¯t form.


    So within the Immortal Realm, Core Formation only required perfection of internal cultivation, plus having a peaceful mind and heart, to successfully overcome the interference of Heart Demons.


    In the Immortal Realm, not to mention Core Formation, even Nascent Soul Formation doesn¡¯t have the concept of Heavenly Tribulation.

    As for rther Divinity Transformation had a tribulation, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t looked into it and wasn¡¯t sure.


    But it should probably also not have it.


    It seems, in the future it would be better to undergo Core Formation in the Immortal Realm side.


    While thinking about this, Chen Mobai suddenly thought of another problem.


    If he successfully undergoes Core Formation in the Immortal Realm, then comes to the Tianhe Realm, will it trigger Heavenly Tribulation?

 Chapter 622 - Chapter 622: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k)_1

    Chapter 622: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k)_1


    Chen Mobai recalled the words spoken by the girl from The Divine Machine Mansion when she calculated his fortune.


    He would face three tribulations during his Core Formation.


    One of them was the Core Formation Heaven Tribulation, he had been puzzled about what it could be, but now he had come to understand.


    In other words, to avoid this tribulation, he simply needed to form a core in the immortal gate.


    There were three Gold Core tribulations, and he had already passed two of them in this way.


    He only needed to achieve Perfection in his internal cultivation, ensuring that his Divine Sense could control the process of Gold Core condensation, and not being disturbed by the Heart Demon. There would essentially be no big issue.


    While Chen Mobai was thinking, the dark clouds above the Everlife Wood turned into a dark red color, and in the blink of an eye, they had ignited into fierce Flames. This was truly a fire in the sky.


    People like Hong He had already stood up, watching the strands of orange-red flames falling from the sky.


    The figure of Meng Hong emerged, his entire body emanating pure Sacred Tree Divine Light. Using the Rank-4 Everlife Wood beneath his feet as a core, he evolved a Large Formation.


    Beams of Sacred Tree Divine Light shot up into the sky, colliding with the Heavenly Tribulation Fire. Due to their opposing attributes, the Sacred Tree Divine Light began to be ignited inch by inch, disappearing.


    However, Meng Hong used his geographical advantage to borrow from the Everlife Wood and evolved the large formation, as long as his Divine Sense was sufficient, he could constantly generate the Sacred Tree Divine Light.


    What¡¯s more, as time progressed, the beams of Sacred Tree Divine Light had become deep green after being refined by the Heavenly Tribulation Fire, they no longer broke at the slightest touch.


    ¡°It seems that there won¡¯t be any issues crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, right?¡±


    Seeing this scene, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    ¡°That might not necessarily be the case, this is just the beginning, a typical Heavenly Tribulation lasts for several days and nights. Now is the time when Elder Meng has his most abundant energy, so the Heavenly Tribulation is naturally nothing to worry about, but the problem is whether he can last until the end.¡±


    However, Hong He shook his head and voiced his concerns.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help showing a worried expression.


    At that moment, two startling auras blossomed on the other two Everlife Woods, transforming into two big green suns rising into the sky, shooting outside the Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Which fellow practitioner is prying?¡±


    A cold voice from Zhou Shengqing resonated, it seemed like unexpected people had come at this critical moment of Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we are here only to watch. We don¡¯t mean anything else.¡±


    Two Spiritual Lights flowered in mid-air, turning into two familiar figures. The one who was speaking was Nan Shidao, while the one beside him was Ji Zhenshi.


    ¡°Leave immediately, otherwise I will take it as a provocation. After Meng Hong forms his core, our Divine Wood Sect will surely go all-out to flatten your Mountain Shaker Peak and Liu Jia Mountain.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing¡¯s words were icy cold. A Divine Tree in the Giant Tree Ridge lit up with a green light, wrapping around his body like a stream of deep green air, subtly forming lightning, making him look like a Wood God.


    ¡°Hehehe, alright, alright.¡±


    Nan Shidao just chuckled, without any intentions of actually battling Zhou Shengqing, who was the top master in the Eastern Wilderness.


    He and Ji Zhenshi exchanged a glance, then backed away silently, leaving the range of the Giant Tree Ridge.


    Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue didn¡¯t trust them at all. After a brief discussion, the former followed Ji Zhenshi and left, watching them fly away from the territory of Jian Country, while the latter continued to guard the Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Though we know it¡¯s a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, we still have no choice but to comply.¡±


    Chen Mobai sighed when he saw the strongest disciple of the sect, Zhou Shengqing, being led away by Ji Zhenshi. Yet, as the two who held deep grudges against the Divine Wood Sect, they would, understandably, stop at nothing to prevent Meng Hong from succeeding in his Core Formation.


    Therefore, Zhou Shengqing had to be cautious.


    ¡°The base of our sect is still insufficient. If we had a Nascent Soul ancestor sitting in town, these insignificant clowns would not dare to show up.¡±


    Hong He stated something in a calm tone which left Chen Mobai at a loss for a response.


    ¡°Elder Meng¡¯s Core Formation has been affected by this, and the success rate has probably dropped by another 20%¡±


    Chen Mobai showed a worried expression and sighed when he heard this.


    Fortunately, Ji Zhenshi and the others did not dare to completely turn against the Divine Wood Sect yet, so they stopped in the territory of the neighboring Snow Country rather after they left Jian Country borders.


    Zhou Shengqing didn¡¯t pursue them into Snow Country, as it was the territory of the Snow-blowing Palace. However, Kong Lingling acted as though she didn¡¯t know that two Core Formation old ancestors had come to her territory. She let Ji Zhenshi and Nan Shidao stand at the border between Jian Country and Snow Country, facing Zhou Shengqing.


    [I must seize any opportunity to obliterate these two factions].


    Zhou Shengqing was looking at his two old opponents and calculating on launching the second sect war in his heart.


    At Giant Tree Ridge, however, Fu Zongjue encountered two strange opponents.


    This was a Core Formation Ghost Cultivator, who occupied a Ghost Fetus in the Womb. His body was shrouded in shadow. Beside him was Mrs. Guo, whom Chen Mobai recognized very well.


    Fu Zongjue remained still and directly activated the giant formation¡¯s power.

    But these two Ghost Cultivators didn¡¯t make any move either. They just stood outside the large formation, silently observing the spectacle of Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation.


    In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.


    Meng Hong was condensing his Gold Core on one side, hoping to transform his Fake Core into a True Elixir, while on the other side, he was controlling the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation to resist the Fire and Thunder that fell from the sky. It was very tough.


    Chen Mobai and the others watched Meng Hong swallow one treasured material and Elixir after another into his body, including an Immortality Mushroom among them.


    With the aid of Elixir and geographical advantage, Meng Hong finally made it to the final step of condensing the Elixir. They saw a golden light emitting from the Qi Sea area of his Dantian.

 Chapter 623 - Chapter 623: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k) _2

    Chapter 623: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k) _2


    The golden light penetrated his flesh, illuminating the void around him. The heaven-shaking tribulation fire seemed to lose its energy under the thorough illumination of the golden light, and started to extinguish.


    ¡°Did it work?¡±


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help expressing his surprise and delight.


    ¡°Half success. There are still the Heart Demon and the final Heavenly Tribulation.¡±


    Hong He sighed. Meng Hong had used all his trump cards, but only succeeded in forming his Gold Core.


    This Core Formation is basically impossible to succeed now!


    As expected, on the fourth day, Meng Hong suddenly turned pale, a wisp of black energy flashed between his brows, and the golden light in his Dantian Qi Sea suddenly dimmed, eventually disappearing.


    And the Heavenly Tribulation Fire, which was originally violent and seemed to be brewing a final powerful attack, seemed to have received a signal, vanishing into thin air in the blink of an eye.


    The sky became clear and bright again.


    However, the mood of the Divine Wood Sect was gloomy.


    After Meng Hong failed in his Core Formation, the Ghost Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage did not stay long and immediately left with Madame Guo from above Giant Tree Ridge.


    In a short while, a gloomy Zhou Shengqing came back.


    The two ancestors went straight to Meng Hong¡¯s Everlife Wood, fed him a healing elixir, and then called Chu Zuoshu over.


    Afterwards, Chu Zuoshu dismissed all Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°The Sect Leader failed in his Core Formation. His body needs to recuperate. Let me take care of him.¡±


    However, E Yun did not leave, expressing his thoughts to Chu Zuoshu.


    ¡°Mu Yuan will take care of Elder Brother Meng. However, since you¡¯re so determined, let you two brothers stay to take care of him for a while.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu thought for a while then agreed, Zhou Wangshen also immediately echoed his opinion.


    Therefore, all three Foundation Establishment disciples of Meng Hong were left behind.


    Chen Mobai, along with Hong He, followed the Sect Leader¡¯s command and left the place.


    ¡°Core Formation is difficult indeed.¡±


    Yuan Chiye, who was following them, couldn¡¯t help but sigh heavily half way through, having lost confidence in his own Core Formation.


    ¡°In the East Barbarians, if you give them enough Spirit Stones, the Three Great Sects are willing to protect the Loose Cultivators in their Core Formation. If a chance arises in the future, I may not be forming my Core in Giant Tree Ridge.¡±


    Hong He suddenly said this.


    The three major sects in the Eastern Yi Territory, each led by a Nascent Soul elder ancestor, provided locations for loose cultivators for Core Formation, which was a major source of revenue for them.


    ¡°The main issue is that there are too many rivals in our sect in the Eastern Wilderness. If all rivals could be swept away, there would be no problem at all.¡±


    Chen Mobai pinpointed the crux of the problem succinctly.


    The Divine Wood Sect had been too smooth sailing recently, neither Meng Hong nor the two ancestors expected that someone would take advantage of this opportunity to doorstep.


    Even though there was no real action taken, it had created enough intimidation for Meng Hong.


    Core Formation is essentially a precarious process. After Ji Zhenshi¡¯s tactic and the disturbance from two ghost cultivators, it was only natural that Meng Hong failed in his Core Formation.


    However, it was likely because they were too high-profile in calling back E Yun and others these days, which led outsiders to know about Meng Hong¡¯s Core Formation timing.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, after our Core Formation, do you think it¡¯s better to eliminate Mountain Shaker Peak first or Liu Jia Mountain is easier?¡±


    At this moment, Hong He brought up a surprising topic to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Red Senior Brother has so much confidence in Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°With my talent, there¡¯s a good chance that I¡¯d succeed in Core Formation. If you fail in yours, I¡¯d be very disappointed.¡± Hong He¡¯s bold statement left Yuan Chiye unsure of how to react.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s get rid of Mountain Shaker Peak first.¡±


    Chen Mobai considered for a while before giving this answer.


    ¡°First eliminate Mountain Shaker Peak, then Liu Jia Mountain. By that time, half of the spiritual vein lands of the Northern Eastern Wasteland will fall into the palm of our Divine Wood Sect. Controlling all the Spiritual Land bordering Cloud Dream, your idea indeed coincides with mine.¡±


    ¡°After taking down Mountain Shaker Peak and Liu Jia Mountain, when should we make a move on the Five Elements Sect?¡±


    As Hong He was talking confidently, Chen Mobai abruptly asked a question that made him choke.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid the Five Elements Sect wouldn¡¯t be easy to deal with.¡±


    ¡°If both of us, along with our Heavenly Spiritual Root Junior Sister Yin, succeed in our Core Formation, then our sect will have five Nascent Souls. Moreover, if you include Uncle Mo from Golden Cliff, won¡¯t regaining the orthodoxy of Five Elements be a piece of cake?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked in return. Although the Eastern Wilderness was known as impoverished in Eastern Region, the resources of the spiritual veins had far exceeded any Daoist Academy of the Immortal Gate. If one could fully control it, they could cultivate several Nascent Souls.


    If capable, he wishes to unify the entire Eastern Wilderness with the power of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Junior Brother has a point.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Hong He hadn¡¯t thought so far initially, but after being pointed out by Chen Mobai, he suddenly felt this arrangement plausible.


    Also, his cultivation requires the tremendous water region of Cloud Dream. If he could truly unify the Eastern Wilderness, not to mention Core Formation, even Nascent Soul Formation would be a possibility.


    ¡°After eliminating Mountain Shaker Peak and Liu Jia Mountain, why not get rid of Snow Blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley first and then target Five Elements Sect?¡±


    Hong He thought for a while, revised his plan, feeling that the Five Elements Sect was the strongest, and perhaps had the groundwork laid down by the Hun Yuan elder, it would be better to leave it till last.


    ¡°I¡¯m just afraid that after we eliminate Mountain Shaker Peak and Liu Jia Mountain, the Five Elements Sect might attack us before we start on Snow Blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley.¡±

 Chapter 624 - Chapter 624: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k)_3

    Chapter 624: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k)_3


    Chen Mobai, however, shook his head. If he were the sect leader of the Five Elements Sect, and he discovered that the Divine Wood Sect had more than three Golden Core Cultivators, he would definitely start forming alliances and playing politics first. At least, he would support Shake Mountain and Liu Jia Mountain and push the Divine Wood Sect into the mud pit of a sect war.


    ¡°We can only take one step at a time. Or, all the Golden Core Cultivators can go to the outer regions, and when Sister Yin forms her core, Brother Chen and I can return. By then, we can reveal five Golden Cores together and sweep through the Eastern Wilderness with the power of thunder,¡± said Red River, revealing a plot.


    Chen Mobai felt that this strategy was not bad, so he sat down halfway with him, pulled out the map of the Eastern Wilderness, and the two of them began to deduce the fastest and most efficient way to sweep across the Eastern Wilderness given the situation of the Divine Wood Sect having five Golden Cores.


    Yuan Chiye, who was on the side, kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.


    He never thought that these two could come to a consensus!


    Over the next few days.


    Whenever Red River had free time, he came to find Chen Mobai. The latter also worried about Meng Hong¡¯s injuries after his failed core formation, so he stayed a few more days in Divine Wood City.


    Half a month later, E Yun brought some good news.


    Although Meng Hong failed in core formation, he didn¡¯t forcibly push through. Coupled with the characteristics of the Everlife Sutra, after two or three years of recuperation, he should basically recover.


    However, after this incident, Meng Hong was getting old and his elemental energy had been greatly damaged. He had no more chances to form a core again.


    If he still insisted on making a breakthrough to form a core, he could only succeed and failure was not an option.


    If he failed again, he would basically die.


    ¡°Master is in a good mood. He said that at least his core forming attempt revealed those people with evil intentions towards the sect,¡± said E Yun, while feeling regretful. Without his core formation attempt, he would never have known that so many financial forces were coveting the Divine Wood Sect in secret.


    ¡°As you are regularly stationed outside, you need to be extra careful,¡± said Chen Mobai. He himself was guarding Jian Country and was mostly on the Giant Tree Ridge or at the Immortal Gate. Having cultivated the Sword Sha, he could resist the Golden Core cultivators and he was safe.


    But it was different for E Yun. They frequently had to go to Yun Meng Ze, the most dangerous and chaotic place in the Eastern Wilderness. If they were targeted by ill-intentioned people, they were likely to face heavy losses.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, our Uncle Nu Jiang is at Yun Meng Zhe, and he has a good relationship with Elder Zhou and Elder Fu. If we encounter any danger, we can seek refuge in his Storm Shelter,¡± reassured E Yun.


    Chen Mobai nodded upon hearing that.


    ¡°As I am entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding Yun Country and now that our master is out of danger, I need to leave the sect. In the future, Little Junior Brother will take care of our master, and I hope Brother Chen will also look after him whenever he has time,¡± E Yun said.


    ¡°Definitely!¡±


    Even without E Yun¡¯s request, Chen Mobai planned to visit Meng Hong after a while.


    This former sect leader was quite admirable to him.


    E Yun left with Red River.


    After the two left, no one else came to visit.


    Yu Lian was sent back to the Lonely Spirits Ridge by Chu Zuoshu, but it seemed that Fu Zongjue had given him a puppet body to take with him this time. After all, the Void Stone Mine was incredibly precious, and that place was known to ghost cultivators. It was better to be safe.


    Half a month later, Chen Mobai brought the rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice that he had ripened with Yi Wood Divine Thunder to visit Meng Hong.


    ¡°You came to visit, there was no need to bring gifts,¡± said Meng Hong who had already moved out of where the Everlife Wood was and was now living in the courtyard where he usually went fishing.


    This place was also one of the rank-3 spiritual lands in the Giant Tree Ridge. With small mountains, streams, forests and flower seas, it was considered a scenic spot within the sect.


    ¡°These spiritual rice restore elemental energy. Elder should eat more to get well sooner,¡± said Chen Mobai as he handed over the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice that he had sawed one by one.


    Mu Yuan took it and thanked him before leaving to cook the rice.


    ¡°Oh, you actually managed to grow rank-2 spiritual rice. This thing only matures once every ten years. Except for the spiritual vein part where the sect insists on keeping a hundred acres, the other cultivators in the sect don¡¯t really bother to plant it,¡± said Meng Hong who was very familiar with the scale of the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice as a former sect leader.


    The sect has been heavily investing in the cultivation of spiritual rice in order to diversify the supply channels and avoid being choked by the large trading companies. Yet, a few Qi Practitioners are willing to grow it.


    On the other hand, rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, which needs careful cultivation for ten years before it can be harvested, is hardly willingly planted by any Qi Practitioners.


    The reason is that Qi Practitioners, who take on tasks from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, are usually thinking about earning a fortune in a short period of time.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The cultivation of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice takes too long.


    Besides, they can harvest more by cultivating spiritual medicine in ten years.


    ¡°I have improved some varieties and bred Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice, which also belongs to rank-2, but has slightly worse taste and only takes six years to mature. I also crossbred Qing Kuo Spirit Rice and Jade Bud Spirit Rice. Three of those samples have grown into rank-2. If my cultivation of the latter is successful, I am confident that I can reduce the maturity period of rank-2 spirit rice to three years and thus achieve freedom in spirit rice production.¡±


    Although the sect¡¯s higher-ups, including Chu Zuoshu, also knew the importance of spirit rice, they didn¡¯t know how to change the current situation.


    Chen Mobai wanted to plant spirit rice on the Giant Tree Ridge, but as he was just one person, he could only do so much. Today when he was visiting Meng Hong, as a former sect leader, he knew all the difficulties and could help Chen Mobai analyze whether they could be solved.

 Chapter 625 - Chapter 625: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k) \_4

    Chapter 625: Chapter 399: Spirit Rice Planning (6k) _4


    ¡°Indeed, the variety of rice is key. If you truly managed to improve and develop a Rank-2 variant of Spiritual Rice that matures every three years, in perhaps ten years, every Foundation Establishment cultivator in our sect might be able to partake in consuming Rank-2 Spiritual Rice on a monthly basis,¡± Meng Hong said with a sigh.


    At present, the Divine Wood Sect has 78 Foundation Establishment cultivators, while there are only one hundred acres dedicated to Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    This hundred acres of Spirit Rice are set aside specifically for this purpose without any rotation. Only after the harvest does the cycle reset and rejuvenation begins.


    That means every ten years, the Divine Wood Sect only harvests one hundred acres of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    Each acre yields approximately three hundred jin on average.


    If we distribute it evenly among all members, each person receives roughly forty jin per year.


    Such a yield is far from sufficient to last a Foundation Establishment cultivator ten years. For an average Body Refining Cultivator, it would likely only last a month.


    However, once a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, they become aware of the benefits that Spirit Rice brings to their bodies. Consequently, given the chance, they will include Spirit Rice in their meals whenever possible.


    Once the sect issued Rank-2 Spirit Rice ran out, they would buy more from the market or trading houses outside, switching to Rank-1 Spirit Rice if they couldn¡¯t afford the Rank-2 variety. Cultivators at least wouldn¡¯t find it necessary to resort to skimping by with Fasting Pills like Qi Practitioners do.


    Therefore, companies like the Star Heaven Co. are able to amass copious amounts of spirit stones in the Eastern Wasteland each year, all through selling Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    As for Rank-3 Spirit Rice, there¡¯s no need to mention it, even Gold Core elders don¡¯t scrimp on their consumption. Even if the sect as a whole is in dire straits, the portions for the elders would not be reduced.


    Firms and companies have taken away most superior-grade Spirit Stones from the Eastern Wasteland through the sales of Rank-3 Spirit Rice.


    One jin of Rank-1 Spirit Rice costs one low-grade Spirit Stone, Rank-2 Spirit Rice costs one mid-grade Spirit Stone per jin, while Rank-3 Spirit Rice costs one high-grade Spirit Stone per jin.


    ¡°Let¡¯s conquer the challenge of Rank-2 Spirit Rice first. As long as we cultivate more new rice species, individual varieties may evolve into Rank-3, followed by large-scale cultivation of these varieties. This could potentially lead to Rank-3 Spirit Rice infesting the entire Giant Tree Ridge,¡± said Chen Mobai. As a top-tier scholar in the field of agricultural studies at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mo Bai is confident of making breakthroughs in cultivating the Rank-3 Spirit Rice at Giant Tree Ridge, a place brimming with Spiritual Energy.


    However, before running, one must learn to walk. The Divine Wood sect does not even produce enough Rank-2 Spiritual Rice at the moment.


    ¡°We don¡¯t have enough land for growing Spirit Rice. The majority of the Rank-2 and Rank-3 Spirit Land on Giant Tree Ridge is used to cultivate medicinal plants. The sect wouldn¡¯t give up this vast market solely to plant more Spirit Rice,¡± Meng Hong sighed with resignation.


    People can go without Spirit Rice and sustain themselves on Fasting Pills, but if medicinal herbs become unavailable, many people¡¯s cultivation will stagnate, which would result in turmoil in the sect.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t the sect possess huge swathes of wasteland? If it can be cultivated, it could potentially add thousands of acres of Spirit Fields,¡± said Chen Mobai. Having served in the Spirit Plant Department for two years, he was well-aware that Giant Tree Ridge was sparsely populated. Apart from the medicine fields in the plains, a lot of Spirit Land was left to waste due to the lack of manpower. When Chen Mobai first joined the sect, he even reclaimed ten acres of Spirit Field by himself.


    A good example would be the land of Xiao Nanshan. If he hadn¡¯t occupied that place, it would still be a wasteland.


    ¡°We don¡¯t have enough manpower. Even if the sect ordered people to reclaim the wasteland, maintaining and managing the land afterwards would require a Spirit Plant Master. For a few thousand acres of Spirit Fields, we would need at least hundreds of entry-level Spirit Plant Masters. The combined strength of the entire Spirit Plant Department wouldn¡¯t suffice,¡± said Meng Hong, shaking his head. He agreed with Chen Mobai¡¯s idea, but saw this obstacle as insurmountable, making the plan merely a pipe dream.


    ¡°Instead of relying on manpower, why don¡¯t we use puppets?¡± Chen Mobai suggested, leaving Meng Hong puzzled.

    On the fairy side, they have long ago mechanized their entire spirit-plant management system. Manual planting and cultivating on a large scale have already become a rare practice.


    The fairy¡¯s Spirit Plant Masters mainly focus their efforts on cultivating and farming new plant species, like Wen Ren Snow Vei¡¯s new form of tea, or Chen Mobai¡¯s hybrid Spirit Rice through agricultural studies.


    Chen Mobai believed it was necessary to apply the successful methods of farming from the fairy side to benefit the Divine Wood Sect.


    Meng Hong, who felt refreshed after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s proposal, was fascinated by the future he had depicted.


    ¡°Tell me more!¡±

 Chapter 626 - Chapter 626: Chapter 400: Ten Thousand Acres of Spirit Field_1

    Chapter 626: Chapter 400: Ten Thousand Acres of Spirit Field_1


    On the side of the Immortal Sect, in the great plains, a single person can manage thousands of acres of Spirit Fields.


    The reason this is possible relies on all kinds of powerful Agricultural Mechanic Artifacts.


    From tilling the soil, fertilizing, sowing, to the final harvest, all you need to do is drive the machine, and it can be easily done.


    You don¡¯t need to buy these machines yourself, you just need to apply to the Immortal Sect to queue for renting them.


    Of course, the yield of large-scale planting can¡¯t match meticulous cultivation, and the condition of Spirit Fields must be great plains. In places like hills and mountains, the role of large machines would be greatly reduced.


    Giant Tree Ridge happens to be a hilly region, and the best central plains area has been developed into medicinal fields that plant the most precious drugs of the Divine Wood Sect.


    But for cultivators, altering mountains and changing rivers is not a difficult task.


    ¡°Your idea is to flatten this area on the south side of Giant Tree Ridge.¡±


    After listening to this, Meng Hong pulled out a map from the courtyard and pointed to a large area centered around Xiao Nanshan. There are many abandoned Spirit Fields here, but due to standing hills and mountain ranges, these Spirit Fields are divided into chunks, scattered, and disorganized.


    But if we follow Chen Mobai¡¯s plan and remove all the mountains here to flatten them, indeed, we can reorganize to create vast plains of Spirit Fields.


    ¡°That¡¯s my idea, what do you think, Elder Meng?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be feasible, because flattening a mountain directly can only be barely achieved by the two old ancestors. Moreover, the Spirit Veins in various places of Giant Tree Ridge have been put into the Array Flags of the Mountain Protection Array. If you want to move the mountain, the Large Formation has to be reset, which is too much work, and the three temples and twelve departments will not agree.¡±


    Although Meng Hong was very tempted by the Spirit Rice planted in the plains as described by Chen Mobai, after his own analysis, he felt that this task was almost impossible to complete.


    If it¡¯s just moving one or two mountains, considering Chen Mobai¡¯s status and position, probably both old ancestors and Chu Zuoshu would turn a blind eye.


    But if they want to flatten all hundreds of mountains on the south side of Giant Tree Ridge, that¡¯s going to affect the source of Spirit Veins in the whole Giant Tree Ridge. Even the two old ancestors wouldn¡¯t dare to do that, and they can¡¯t either.


    ¡°In that case, we can only make do, and redevelop the hilly areas into terraces. However, if it¡¯s not a plain, the role of machinery will be limited and we must increase manpower. There is no need for Spirit Plant Masters, just farmers who know how to plant crops will do.¡±


    ¡°You mean, mortals?¡±


    Meng Hong, who has also been the Sect Leader, understood Chen Mobai¡¯s words immediately.


    ¡°Yes, although there are quite a few mortals in the sect, I feel that there are still too few. We don¡¯t need too many people. Each mortal is responsible for three or four acres which is fine. I calculated that approximately one thousand mortals are needed.¡±


    There are mortals in Giant Tree Ridge, most of them are around Divine Wood City, mainly managing all kinds of medicinal fields under the leadership of Sect Disciples, because the number of Spirit Plant Masters in the Divine Wood Sect is insufficient.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s plan for mortals to guard the Spirit Fields and plant Spirit Rice is also learning from others.


    Zhuo Ming hires dozens of farmers every year to help watch over the Spirit Fields in Xiao Nanshan and Small Yang Ridge.


    These farmers don¡¯t need to know the techniques of Spirit Planting. They just need to watch it every day, notify Luo Yixuan when there¡¯s a lack of water, and notify Zhuo Ming when there¡¯s any disease or pest infestation.


    Zhuo Ming will come over in due course for other tasks like sowing, fertilizing, harvesting, etc.


    ¡°If we use mortals to look after thousands of acres of Spirit Fields, it would solve one problem, but so many Spirit Fields need to be sown at the same time, I¡¯m afraid that just relying on your disciples, it may not be feasible.¡±


    As Meng Hong thought, there are only a few days each year for sowing and harvesting. Relying just on Chen Mobai and his disciples to develop hills into terraces and to sow, he couldn¡¯t figure out a feasible solution.


    ¡°Recently, I obtained three types of puppet blueprints from the Talent Tree of Longevity Sect ¡ª one is a sowing puppet, one is a stone-breaking earth-moving puppet specifically for developing terraces, and the other is a Harvesting Puppet. Just put Spirit Stones in them, and even mortals can operate them freely.¡±


    As a puppet genius, Chen Mobai had thoroughly researched the combination of Agricultural Studies and puppets in the past, and had all the agricultural puppets at his fingertips.


    But as it was too advanced, he decided to attribute it to the name of the Longevity Sect in the Divine Tree Secret Realm. After all, the sect¡¯s top management knew about his amazing talent and that he had obtained the true inheritance of the Longevity Sect.


    Chen Mobai took out a pen and paper, drawing the rough sketches of the three types of puppets in front of Meng Hong, who was full of admiration after seeing them.

    ¡°This is really ingenious, a masterpiece of the heavens!¡±


    The research on machinery and artifacts from the Immortal Sect far surpasses that of the Tianhe Realm. But due to a scarcity of Spirit Stones, most of these machines and artifacts are only owned by major agricultural societies. In places like Chen Mobai¡¯s hometown, Green Mountain Village, it¡¯s basically meticulous hand cultivation.


    The main reason is that there are too many cultivators in the Immortal Sect and there is an excess of labor.


    But it¡¯s completely different here in the Eastern Wilderness. Although there are many cultivators, basically everyone is busy with cultivation. Very few are willing to farm, so Chen Mobai thought of using Agricultural puppets as a replacement, and then let mortals operate them.


    In this way, the thousands of acres of scattered Spiritual Lands on the south side of the Giant Tree Ridge can be gradually developed. If everything goes according to his plan, in the end, in addition to the original desolate Spirit Fields, about six to seven thousand acres of terraced fields could be developed.

 Chapter 627 - Chapter 627: Chapter 400: Ten Thousand Acres of Spirit Field_2

    Chapter 627: Chapter 400: Ten Thousand Acres of Spirit Field_2


    By then, all the spirit fields could be connected to form a continuous stretch, possibly breaking through the ten thousand acres mark.


    If all these spirit fields were to cultivate spirit rice, not to mention Foundation Establishment Cultivators, even if there were three thousand Qi Practitioners from the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai could allow them to have five meals of spirit rice a day and still be plentiful.


    ¡°That¡¯s a good plan, but the creation of these three types of puppets also requires talented puppet masters. I¡¯m not sure if our sect¡¯s Puppet Department, which is more style than substance, could produce satisfactory puppets.¡±


    Although the Puppet Department is one of the twelve divisions, the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s puppetry inheritance only has one complete system which is the combat type puppet based on the Immortality Sutra.


    From the rank-1 Red Sun Puppets to the rank-2 Blue Sun Puppets, and then to the rank-3 Golden Sun Puppets, all use spiritual wood from Giant Tree Ridge as raw materials.


    If Fu Zongjue hadn¡¯t once been the head of the Puppet Department and had a soft spot for it, Meng Hong would have scrapped this lowest ranking department among the twelve a few decades ago.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. As long as the Puppet Department is willing to provide some people to assist, I have a bit of knowledge on puppet creation.¡±


    If Chen Mobai wanted to convert the entire hilly region in the south of Giant Tree Ridge into terraces, he would certainly require a considerable amount of agricultural puppets.


    He alone would definitely be unable to achieve it.


    Luckily, the force behind him is a rather powerful sect.


    Even if the Puppet Department has been lagging behind yearly, at least there are still dozens of puppet masters available.


    Chen Mobai gave advice to Li Yixian and thus owes a favor to the Puppet Department. However, if he wanted to mobilize all the top experts from the Puppet Department to assist in creating puppets, that favor would not be enough.


    Moreover, the task of opening up the whole southern part of the Giant Tree Ridge is a massive one. Despite being the future of the sect, Chen Mobai is still too young and not considered dependable enough in the eyes of the two elder ancestors.


    If he could get Meng Hong to help, things would certainly work out smoothly.


    ¡°You should just concentrate on your cultivation, and strive to achieve Core Formation as soon as possible. That¡¯s the greatest contribution to the sect. Why must you put in all this hard work?¡±


    At this point, Mu Yuan had steamed the Jade Bamboo spirit rice that Chen Mobai brought. Meng Hong picked up a chopstick full, split it and ate while expressing his feelings.


    ¡°Even with individual strength, if one reaches Nascent Soul Formation, at most it would elevate the Divine Wood Sect to the peak of the Five Elements Sect. However, if an endless stream of people like me and Hong He step forward in the future of our sect, then the Divine Wood Sect could forever rule the Eastern Wilderness, bringing permanent governance and peace to this vast land.¡±


    Chen Mobai will never forget the awkwardness he felt when he first came into contact with the Eastern Wilderness, where the worldview shaped by his upbringing within the immortal gate conflicted with the customs of the cultivators here. His wish to transform this vast region of Eastern Wilderness always remained in his heart.


    Previously, if he had said these words, people would only have laughed it off.


    But now he felt, it¡¯s time to take action.


    Starting by improving and changing the sect.


    ¡°I hope I can live to see that day.¡±


    Although Meng Hong knew that Chen Mobai¡¯s grand ambition is very hard to achieve in the Eastern Wilderness, for some unknown reason, his heart, which had been desolate because of his failed Core Formation, felt a long-lost excitement and anticipation after hearing these words.


    It¡¯s as if he¡¯s found a target and gained motivation.


    The next day, Meng Hong went with Chen Mobai to meet An Jinghui, the head of the Puppet Department.


    ¡°Without directives from Shenmu Hall and Penalty Evil Hall, it¡¯s hard for me, as the head of the department, to command the disciples.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s plan, An Jinghui revealed an uneasy expression.


    Because the Puppet Department has the least number of people among the twelve departments, every puppet master is basically very busy. Apart from maintaining their own puppets, they are busy collecting various materials for puppet creation.


    Whenever there¡¯s a task, An Jinghui needs to inform them a month in advance, so that the disciples have enough time to arrange their work.


    ¡°Consider it as me hiring them. The spirit stones can be distributed through the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.¡±


    After hearing An Jinghui¡¯s difficulties, Chen Mobai blamed himself for not inquiring in advance. He didn¡¯t expect the puppet masters of the Divine Wood Sect to be so busy.


    ¡°I¡¯ll try to arrange it, but regular spirit stone payment may not be enticing enough.¡±


    An Jinghui looked apologetic. However, he assured that his disciple Li Yixian will definitely follow Chen Mobai¡¯s command. Though he failed in Foundation Establishment, the favor of the advice is significant and needs to be repaid.


    ¡°Thank you, Minister An.¡±


    As he departed, Chen Mobai took along with him three puppet masters, including Li Yixian. This was a testament to the influence of An Jinghui, the Minister. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to secure even a single person.


    ¡°You begin with the puppet production, I will go and coordinate with the Spirit Plant, Spirit Vein, Formation, and Spirit Beast departments.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s plan involved incorporating the entire southern slope of the Giant Tree Ridge, which belonged to the Spirit Vein Department and also had formations set up by the Formation Department, along with various spirit beasts raised and spirit plants grown.


    If he were to coordinate with these four major departments individually, not to mention whether they would cooperate, even if they did, it would likely cause a lot of time-wasting back-and-forth.


    However, if Meng Hong were willing to act as a mediator, things would be different. All twelve departments of the three halls were old subordinates of his, plus, despite his failed Core Formation, Meng Hong was still the second most powerful pseudo-core cultivator in the sect, his influence considerably greater than Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    With Meng Hong¡¯s help in liaising with the three departments, Chen Mobai, along with Li Yixian and the other two, began to produce the puppets worry-free.


    Among them, Li Yixian surprisingly turned out to be a Rank-2 Puppet Master.


    With An Jinghui¡¯s help, he had exchanged quite a few pieces of Qingyang Spiritual Wood from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, which he used to build his Rank-2 puppet, and thus, according to the local rules, he was considered a Rank-2 Puppet Master.


    But in Chen Mobai¡¯s view, he was barely a Rank-1 Puppet Master.


    As for the other two, it¡¯s needless to say that in the Immortal World, they would only be considered hobbyists, not even formally initiated puppet makers.


    However, even these puppet masters were only willing to take on the assignment because the Minister of the Puppet Department, An Jinghui, had personally stepped in.


    Chen Mobai, with Li Yixian and the other two in tow, arrived at his courtyard, which he had converted into a puppet workshop. After all, the Spirit Treasure Pavilion was located within Divine Wood City, so if anything was needed, it was easier to buy.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe Uncle Chen has a whole intact piece of Qingyang Spiritual Wood. I wonder if we could hypothetically use the leftover scraps from its usage as a replacement for Spirit Stones as our payment.¡±


    As soon as Li Yixian and the others entered, they saw a piece of Green-Sun Spiritual Wood in the corner and instantly their eyes shone. They rushed to the wood, seemingly wanting to touch it, but they didn¡¯t dare.


    ¡°Oh, are you lacking Qingyang spiritual wood?¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and then asked his own question.


    ¡°Of course, we are. The sect has only got a limited number of Qingyang Spirit Trees, all of which are closely watched by the Foundation Establishment elders. Apart from using them to make Rank-2 tree seeds, many are waiting for the Spirit Trees to transform and produce Qingyang Fire Seeds. We Qi Practitioners can¡¯t wait for the day when they are available at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.¡±


    One of the puppet masters, Sui Kun, lamented. Their combat puppets, if they were to be upgraded to Rank-2, would require Qingyang Spiritual Wood to replace all their components.


    But under the entire Puppet Department, it was only Li Yixian who, due to An Jinghui¡¯s influence, managed to exchange enough Green-Sun Spiritual Wood from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    The other puppet masters had mostly only replaced a palm or half a leg.


    Seeing a complete piece of Qingyang Spiritual Wood in the corner of Chen Mobai¡¯s courtyard made even Li Yixian, who already had a complete Rank-2 puppet, green with envy.


    ¡°If I were to pay the compensation with Qingyang spiritual wood, how many people in the Puppet Department would be willing to come and help?¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai asked a question.


    ¡°Not a single person would refuse!¡±


    Sui Kun definitively remarked. If puppet masters of their department knew they could get Qingyang Spiritual Wood scraps as a reward, they would presumably come out in droves.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I see.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded in acknowledgment, however, he didn¡¯t immediately use Qingyang Spiritual Wood to recruit people. Instead, he planned to first lead Li Yixian and the others in creating the three basic models of agricultural puppets.


    This Qingyang Spiritual Wood was what he had attempted to synthesize using Jia Wood Jue, and it had taken him half a month to complete the process.


    If he recruited too many people, he wouldn¡¯t be able to provide enough Qingyang Spiritual Wood.


    He hoped that his spider puppets exploring the Divine Tree Secret Realm could find an actual Qingyang Spirit Tree quickly.

 Chapter 628 - Chapter 628: Chapter 401 Sowing Seeds_1

    Chapter 628: Chapter 401 Sowing Seeds_1


    Three days later, Meng Hong arrived with Mu Yuan.


    ¡°The two Ancestors highly admire your idea. However, if we proceed exactly according to your plan, the changes will be substantial, which might potentially trigger another war in our sect. Therefore, they resolve not to disturb the Mountain Protection Array,¡± Meng Hong explained.


    Chen Mobai intended to cultivate the entire southern side of the Giant Tree Ridge. This would inevitably cause changes in the earth¡¯s veins, leading to part of the Array of Ten Thousand Woods, which had been stable for several decades, to fail.


    Even if the two Ancestors held a high opinion of Chen Mobai, they would not take such a risk at this critical juncture.


    After all, many enemies had emerged when Meng Hong was in the Core Formation stage.


    At this crucial time, stability was their priority.


    ¡°This matter has a long-term benefit. The sooner, the better.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai sighed, understanding the concerns of the two Ancestors.


    After all, not long ago, Ji Zhenshi and Nan came to pressure them, and there were two Golden Core Ghost Cultivators coveting them in the dark. If he were in the Ancestors¡¯ shoes, he would make the same choice.


    ¡°That¡¯s what I said too. So, I have negotiated on your behalf.¡±


    While speaking, Meng Hong took out the map of the Giant Tree Ridge and circled an area with Xiao Nanshan at the center.


    ¡°There are about 500 acres of spiritual land here, but they are separated by four Spirit Mountains,¡± Meng Hong explained.


    ¡°I have discussed with the four department heads of the formation, and they agree to first use this area as a test field. The formation department will slightly modify the Mountain Protection Array here. The spirit plant department will supply you with the necessary crop seeds, and the spirit beast department will take away the spirit beasts cultivated here.¡±


    ¡°If you can successfully cultivate this area as a whole, once the outside powers of the sect stabilize in the future, we can then extend your method to the entire southern side of the Giant Tree Ridge, or even the whole sect.¡±


    Meng Hong¡¯s strenuous efforts over these three days had paid off. With the two Ancestors not explicitly opposing him, he pulled some strings within the formation departments, securing the rights to use the 500 acres of spiritual land for Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Thank you, Elder Meng.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately thanked Meng Hong.


    The central plains of the sect, its core medicinal field, only had about 1700 acres. Although much of Chen Mobai¡¯s 500 acres were still uncultivated wastelands, having the right to use so much spiritual land was already quite remarkable.


    ¡°Little Chen, you don¡¯t need to work this hard. Given your talent, if you diligently cultivate like Hong He, reaching the Core Formation stage early would be a great help to the sect,¡± Elder Meng advised sincerely.


    Meng Hong had watched Chen Mobai grow from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment, and then receiving the legacy of the Longevity Doctrine. He believed that Chen was a true genius who could surpass him and become a Golden Core cultivators.


    Although he supported Chen Mobai¡¯s idea of cultivating for the future development of the sect, he was hesitant to let it impede Chen¡¯s opportunity to rise even further.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, it was rare to find someone like Chen Mobai who would forsake their personal cultivation time for the sect¡¯s welfare.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Elder Meng. Even if I spend every day farming and making puppets, no one in the sect will be able to catch up to my cultivation speed.¡±


    Chen Mobai spoke those words with self-assured confidence.


    At this, Meng Hong didn¡¯t know how to persuade him otherwise.


    ¡°If you need anything in the future, feel free to find me. If you need extra hands, I¡¯ll send Mu Yuan to help you.¡±


    In the end, Meng Hong could only leave Chen Mobai with these words and the services of Mu Yuan.


    Meng Hong currently held no particular responsibilities within the sect. The only ones he could give orders to were his disciples. With E Yun absent, only Mu Yuan remained.


    ¡°Just take this time to rest, Elder Meng. You have been immensely helpful,¡± replied Chen Mobai graciously, sending off Meng Hong with the document granting the use of 500 acres of spiritual land.


    In the subsequent time, his real body was instructing Li Yixian and the others to make agricultural puppets in the Divine Wood City. Meanwhile, his Clone with the Unseen Puppet was surveying the newly obtained four Spirit Mountains and 500 acres of spiritual lands with Zhuo Ming.


    Since these were all near Xiao Nanshan, it was relatively easy for the master and disciple to explore and contrast with the survey.


    During this time, the cultivators from the formation department visited to discuss with Chen Mobai about changing the earth¡¯s vein formation to be dependent on the four Spirit Mountains.


    If they wanted to develop a spirit field, they would need to disperse the accumulated Spirit Vein Qi to distribute evenly across every inch of land. This would inevitably weaken or even nullify the formations relying on the spirit vein.


    ¡°Are there any formations that use Spirit Fields as array flags?¡±


    Thinking of his future plan of cultivating the entire Giant Tree Ridge into a Spirit Field, which would mean the core Array of Ten Thousand Woods of the Divine Wood Sect would cease to function, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but ask the cultivator from the spirit vein department this question.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°For that, we need a master of formations to come and help redesign it. The Array of Ten Thousand Woods of our Divine Wood Sect was arranged with the help of Master Jie from Kong Sang Valley.¡±


    The Array of Ten Thousand Woods is actually an upgraded version of the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation. It is a combination of multiple Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formations, centered around three Rank-4 Everlife Woods, reconstituting into a giant Rank-4 formation.


    The Divine Wood Sect does not have a Rank-4 Array Master. It was Zhou, the old Ancestor, who paid a hefty price to request someone from the Eastern Yi Territory to arrange the Mountain Protection Array.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid this will trouble Brother Duan.¡±


    The person leading the formation department was called Duan Shaojiu, a veteran cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage. Even though his cultivation level was low, he was one of the four Rank-3 Array Masters in the sect.

 Chapter 629 - Chapter 629: Chapter 401: Sowing Seeds _2

    Chapter 629: Chapter 401: Sowing Seeds _2


    The other three happened to be the head, deputy head and inspector of the Formation department.


    Just his luck, he was the one with the lowest cultivation level, so most of the time he was the one doing all the work.


    Chen Mobai needed to transform the Spirit Vein into a Spiritual Land, and there were two Array Flags of the Array of Ten Thousand Woods close to Xiao Nanshan. These needed to be relocated elsewhere, which was quite a cumbersome task.


    ¡°It¡¯s for the good of the sect. My little bit of hard work is nothing.¡±


    Duan Shaojiu was rather old, basically with no possibility of further progress. However, both his son and daughter had Spiritual Roots, and so he was currently trying to gather resources for his children.


    After Chen Mobai briefly explained the situation to him, Duan Shaojiu even asked him if he wanted to move one of the flags to the top of Xiao Nanshan.


    The Array Flag of the Array of Ten Thousand Woods was the Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    Planted at the top of Xiao Nanshan, occasional branch and leaf pruning didn¡¯t interfere with the Array¡¯s operation, and the Sect usually turned a blind eye to it.


    Chen Mobai was slightly tempted, but after careful consideration, he shook his head.


    Firstly, he highly valued his privacy and was unsure if this Array Flag would expose his secret long-term travels between worlds. Plus, with access to the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he had little interest in the Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    Furthermore, if he planned to cultivate Rank-3 Spirit Rice in the future, he would need to stimulate the Spiritual Vein Core of Xiao Nanshan, which would generate some Rank-3 Spiritual Land.


    In that case, the Array Flag would need to be relocated again, creating even more trouble.


    It was just well off being moved out of his jurisdiction altogether, thus solving it all at once.


    After listening to Chen Mobai, Duan Shaojiu was decisive. Within two days, he had relocated the two Qingyang Spirit Trees to nearby hills.


    The Qingyang Spirit Tree is a Rank-2 Spirit Wood, which only needs a Rank-2 Spirit Vein for growth.


    During the relocation, Sun Gaochang also came to help. This inspector of the Spirit Plant Department, being a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master, initially did not need to do it himself. But considering his deep relationships with Chen Mobai, he volunteered to help to avoid any accidents.


    Under the joint efforts of Duan Shaojiu and Sun Gaochang, the migration of the two Qingyang Spirit Trees was smoothly completed without any accidents.


    No longer entangled with the Mountain Protection Array, Chen Mobai was finally at peace to cultivate the Spirit Field.


    ¡°Master, Miao Mountain and Court Mountain are close to Rank-3 Spiritual Vein lands with flat terrain. But places near Wing Mountain and Shuyang Mountain are all hilly and not suitable for cultivation.¡±


    One day, Chen Mobai and his two apprentices were overseeing the five hundred-acre Spiritual Land centred on Xiao Nanshan from the sky. Zhuo Ming pointed to the undulating terrain below, with a worried expression.


    Although it was indeed five hundred acres of Spiritual Land, most of it was barren. Places that were already cultivated like Xiao Nanshan only needed minor tilling before they could be used as high-quality Spirit Fields. Together, they probably only accounted for about one hundred acres.


    The remaining three hundred acres all needed to be cultivated on hillside slopes.


    If an ordinary man were to do this, it would probably take three generations to cultivate into a suitable Spirit Field.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, how long would it take if you were to do it?¡±


    Chen Mobai was standing on Red Misty Cloud Silk, pointing down at Wing Mountain and Shuyang Mountain who had rough surrounding terrains.


    Shuyang Mountain had a hill at its foot known as Small Yang Ridge, which used to be Chen Mobai¡¯s initial homestead and was still under his name.


    ¡°Master, it would probably take about ten years.¡±


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s question, Zhuo Ming honestly estimated the time.


    With her cultivation level and the use of various spiritual tools, the complete cultivation of over three hundred acres of terraced fields would be considered quick to be completed in ten years.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯ll help Sister.¡±


    Hearing this, Luo Yixuan thought that Chen Mobai was actually going to assign this Herculean task to Zhuo Ming. After thinking for a while, she stepped forward and pledged, showcasing sisterly camaraderie.


    ¡°Ha ha ha, if Ming¡¯er were to start cultivating, wouldn¡¯t I have to personally take care of the annual sowing and harvesting?¡±


    Chen Mobai laughed heartily, indicating that he had other arrangements, but he was very pleased with his two apprentices¡¯ willingness to work hard.


    A cultivator who¡¯s willing to toil like a farmer was a rarity in the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Master, if these five hundred acres are truly all cultivated with Spirit Rice, wouldn¡¯t we need to build a large storehouse to store the harvest?.¡±


    Zhuo Ming was already worrying about the insufficient storage capacity at the foot of Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that.¡±


    Chen Mobai planned to benefit the entire Divine Wood Sect. While the five hundred acres of Spirit Rice looked plentiful, when divided among the entire sect, it wouldn¡¯t be much.


    ¡°First, let¡¯s clean up the terraces on the flatlands. It¡¯s also the sowing season for the Fire Spirit Rice in the second half of the year. We mustn¡¯t waste that.¡±


    There are roughly a hundred acres of spiritual land that merely need the weeds and rubble cleared, and some wild animals scared away, before they can be used for planting.¡±


    In this area, Zhuo Ming is an expert.


    However, to be efficient, Chen Mobai personally led her, burning wild grass and trees while applying fertilizer. He also unveiled the Spirit Veins hidden in the hills, converting them into acres of spirit fields.


    ¡°Master, if only three of us are sowing the seeds, we may run short of time.¡±


    Once all the flat terraces were marked, Zhuo Ming discovered a new problem.


    ¡°I have already arranged for the Department of Spirit Plants to help.¡±


    Compared to the scarcity of puppet masters, the Divine Wood Sect has many more spirit plant masters. Chen Mobai is close friends with Sun Gaochang, and moreover, the cultivation of spirit rice has always been encouraged within the sect.


    So Chen Mobai had the Department of Spirit Plants help him cultivate sprouts for a hundred acres of Fire Spirit Rice.


    If it were just him and Zhuo Ming, it would undoubtedly be too late.


    The Department of Spirit Plants charges no fee for these hundred acres of sprouts. Their only demand would be that the spirit fields under Chen Mobai¡¯s name must yield at least eighty acres of spirit rice by next year.


    If the harvest is insufficient, he will be fined in spirit stones and contributions to the sect.


    Of course, the proceeds from the spirit rice are all Chen Mobai¡¯s. He can choose to sell them to the sect, which will purchase them back at ten times the contribution value, or he can keep them for sale or brewing wine.


    In this regard, while the Department of Spirit Plants is willing to cultivate sprouts for free, their people won¡¯t assist in the sowing. That would have to be done by Chen Mobai himself.


    ¡°Master, how about we hire some spirit plant masters from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to help us?¡±


    Though Zhuo Ming is not afraid of hard work, with only a few days left, she does not have the means to sow the sprouts for a hundred acres of Fire Spirit Rice herself. Therefore, she requests external help from Chen Mobai for the first time.


    ¡°Haha, don¡¯t worry. I have already made preparations.¡±


    The next day, Chen Mobai brought over a newly tested sowing puppet with Li Yixian and his team.


    This puppet comes with two large wheels. Between the wheels is an elongated track with small holes to hold and secure the sprouts.


    Chen Mobai has a powerful divine sense, and within a short period, he managed to pick a thousand sprouts from those provided by the Department of Spirit Plants and plant them into corresponding holes on the puppet¡¯s track. Then, he loaded in a Spirit Stone to activate it.


    After a while, under the disbelieving gazes of Zhuo Ming¡¯s group, the puppet began rolling around over the spirit fields.


    The track was exactly the width of the field. After it rolled through, the sprouts were neatly lined up in the soil as if someone had meticulously measured and arranged them.


    After thirty laps, an acre of land had been sown.


    In one day, fifteen acres of sprouts were planted.


    ¡°Master, this puppet is amazing,¡± observed Zhuo Ming.


    Zhuo Ming, who spends every day farming, immediately recognized the advantages of the sowing puppet. With it, all that she needs is an old farmer to supervise, and the puppet can easily complete the sowing of hundreds of acres of spirit fields.


    ¡°This is the speed on flatland. If sowing on the hilled terraces, the speed will slow by more than half.¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed out the flaw in sowing puppet. However, even so, Zhuo Ming still found it very impressive.


    ¡°The three of you, help me make another puppet of this kind, with full efforts.¡±


    Chen Mobai still had hundreds of acres of land needing sowing, and one puppet fell short.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, at best we can complete it in seven days,¡± returned Li Yixian honestly.


    Although they had already mastered the creation method of the sowing puppet under Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, it couldn¡¯t be done any faster.


    ¡°If you can deliver it within two days, I¡¯m willing to reward a piece of Qingyang Spiritual Wood.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s proposal, the excitement of Li Yixian¡¯s group was palpable.


    ¡°Are you serious, Uncle Chen?¡±


    ¡°We can sign a contract at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.¡±


    ¡°Guaranteed to complete the task!¡±


    Without saying another word, Li Yixian and his partners allowed Chen Mobai to take them back to Divine Wood City. They were prepared to summon their friends in the puppet department to join them in earning a piece of Qingyang Spiritual Wood together.

 Chapter 630 - Chapter 630: Chapter 402: Settlement after Core Formation_1

    Chapter 630: Chapter 402: Settlement after Core Formation_1


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, we need more assistance from you for this matter.¡±


    Jin Shanping, the Deputy Head of the Spirit Plant Department, amiably saw Chen Mobai out the door. Chen Mobai nodded and then went to see Sun Gaochang.


    ¡°Senior Brother Sun, how do you think we should handle this?¡±


    Chen Mobai sat down in the seat opposite him. Sun Gaochang served him a cup of clear tea and listened with a helpless, bitter smile on his face.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, the Spirit Plant Department only has a yearly budget of one hundred thousand Spirit Stones and one hundred thousand sect contributions. After your one hundred acres of Fire Spirit Rice matures, if we bought all of them, according to the ten times support, we would need two hundred thousand sect contributions. Even if I approve it on my side, I don¡¯t think the Vice Hall Master in the Reward Virtue Hall would agree. The matter will end up being reported to the sect leader, which will put him in a difficult position.¡±


    In truth, it was Sun Gaochang who had invited Chen Mobai over today, but as the Deputy Head of the Spirit Plant Department, he brought up the matter first.


    Half a year ago, through his connection with Meng Hong, Chen Mobai had obtained five hundred acres of Spirit Field to plant the Spirit Rice, a task that everyone deemed impossible to complete.


    Both manpower and spiritual land were far from sufficient.


    But who would have known that Chen Mobai had acquired the Puppetry Technique inheritance from the Eternal Life Sect and utilized Qingyang Spirit Wood to create many Agricultural Puppets in the Puppetry Department, resolving the two most critical issues all at once.


    Subsequently, through various Immortal Cultivation families in the Jian Country, he was able to move a large number of non-spiritual-root descendants from these families to the vicinity of Xiao Nanshan, solving the manpower issue.


    Some days ago, nearly two hundred acres of the Spirit Rice under Chen Mobai¡¯s name matured. He invited the people from the Spirit Plant Department to conduct an early inspection and prepare for the year-end harvest.


    Among these, Chen Mobai planned to keep for himself the produce from the sixty acres of the Spirit Field within Xiao Nanshan.


    The remaining Spirit Rice from the small Yang Ridge, as well as the one hundred acres distributed across the other four Spirit Mountains, he declared to the Spirit Plant Department to be sold to the sect.


    However, when the people from the Spirit Plant Department came for the inspection, they were full of praises for the harvest of these hundred-plus acres of Spirit Rice, complimenting Xiao Nanshan¡¯s lineage for indeed being the best at rice plant cultivation in the Divine Wood Sect.


    However, upon returning and calculating the cost of purchasing this Spirit Rice, the three heads of the Spirit Plant Department began to wear a worried and gloomy expression.


    The Fire Spirit Rice is a hybrid variety researched by Chen Mobai himself. While it is crunchy, it contains the same spiritual energy and nutrients as the Yubud Lingmi and it can be harvested twice a year. Moreover, the yield per acre of this Spirit Rice can reach 150 catties. If Chen Mobai were to sell all a hundred and thirty acres of Spirit Rice to the Spirit Plant Department, the latter would have to pay 210,000 sect contributions to purchase it.


    This large expenditure far exceeds the annual budget of the Spirit Plant Department.


    Even if Sun Gaochang, as the supervisor, approves of it, the deputy head and the head above would definitely disagree. If this were to happen, the Spirit Plant Department would have to tighten their belts for the next two to three years.


    So, after internal discussions, they invited Chen Mobai over and mentioned the issue to him.


    The implication being that the Spirit Plant Department could only purchase the thirty acres of Yubud Lingmi from the small Yang Ridge at most. The remaining Fire Spirit Rice couldn¡¯t be bought by the department due to there not being a precedent for it, so Chen Mobai could only harvest the rice himself.


    If the department were to purchase it, they would send people over to harvest it and directly verify the quantity and yield of the produce.


    Chen Mobai originally thought this would save him some work.


    Who knew that his overproduction would scare off the Spirit Plant Department from purchasing.


    ¡°Does Sect Leader know about this matter?¡±


    After listening to Sun Gaochang¡¯s complaints, Chen Mobai asked. Sun slightly shook his head to indicate that he had not reported this matter to Chu Zuoshu yet.


    ¡°It should still be reported.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment and said something that made Sun Gaochang puzzled. However, Sun soon understood what Chen Mobai meant.


    Shenmu Hall.


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s request, Chu Zuoshu also felt a headache coming on.


    This was clearly supposed to be a good thing, but the problem was that Chen Mobai had grown too much Spirit Rice. If it were to be bought at market price, the sect could easily digest all of it.


    However, in order to support Spirit Rice cultivation, when the sect had first been established, the old Founder Zhou had set this ten times support policy.


    This is because the ratio of input to yield for cultivating Spirit Rice is disproportionate. Even with this support policy, the sect¡¯s production of Spirit Rice still falls short every year and they have to buy from the external cultivation families.


    But who would have thought that a farming genius like Chen Mobai would appear, and he had increased the yield of Spirit Rice to a level that the sect could hardly afford.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, since you have mentioned it to me, I can approve of this year¡¯s Spirit Rice. But if there is still this much next year, I¡¯m afraid we will have to report it to the two Old Ancestors.¡±


    After some thought, Chu Zuoshu proposed an opinion, feeling that he cannot let Chen Mobai, a direct disciple, feel disheartened. This year the sect can afford this vast contribution. But if it continues like this every year, Chu can¡¯t keep his position as Sect Leader and will have to escalate it to the two Old Ancestors to abolish this policy.

    ¡°Sect Leader, I have a suggestion.¡±


    Chen Mobai believed that he had a win-win solution.


    It would allow the sect to buy the Spirit Rice with ten times the contribution without causing the sect too much distress.


    ¡°Junior Brother, please go ahead.¡±


    ¡°Let the sect make the usual purchase. Because my Fire Spirit Rice is a new variety, this contribution can be held as a quality assurance deposit in the sect¡¯s account. After a few years, when it¡¯s confirmed that there¡¯s no problem with the rice, this contribution can be gradually released to my account.¡±

 Chapter 631 - Chapter 631: 402

    Chapter 631: 402


    ¡°Junior Brother, isn¡¯t that still the same?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t understand the meaning of Chen Mobai¡¯s proposal. Even if the Sect¡¯s contribution is not used for a few years, it ultimately still needs to be used, doesn¡¯t it?


    ¡°Sect Leader, I can also make another agreement with the Sect, to only use up to one-tenth of the previous year¡¯s Sect contribution income each year.¡±


    In this way, although the Divine Wood Sect is nominally still supporting the cultivation of Spirit Rice with a tenfold contribution, the actual cost would just be the normal market price.


    ¡°Junior Brother, doesn¡¯t that mean you¡¯ll be at a loss?¡±


    ¡°Sect Leader, if I achieve Core Formation, won¡¯t the contribution points held in the Sect¡¯s account become real?¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a smile, a statement that startled Chu Zuoshu into realization.


    Indeed, if Chen Mobai achieves Core Formation, the Divine Wood Sect would undoubtedly have to acknowledge the remaining nine-tenths of contributions that were previously impossible to withdraw.


    ¡°Junior Brother, why don¡¯t you just focus on your cultivation and strive for Core Formation? Why do you have to go in circles like this?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu, as the Sect Leader, had heard of Chen Mobai¡¯s devotion to farming over the years. His opinion was in line with Meng Hong¡¯s. Why not cultivate with all this time?


    After Core Formation, whatever you want in the Sect can be taken at any time.


    ¡°Sect Leader, my individual strength can¡¯t compare to the overall strength of the Divine Wood Sect. This Spirit Rice is mainly for strengthening the physical fitness of our Sect¡¯s Qi Practitioners.¡±


    Chen Mobai stated his ideals again. He understood clearly. If he made the Divine Wood Sect truly buy his Spirit Rice at ten times the contribution rate every year, within two years the two old ancestors would cancel the policy.


    It¡¯s better to agree with Chu Zuoshu that the Sect actually buys his Spirit Rice at the market price, and the remaining ninety percent is temporarily kept in the Sect¡¯s account. Once he achieves Core Formation, it becomes real. If not, the debt is considered nonexistent.


    After considering it for a moment, Chu Zuoshu immediately agreed.


    He then called Luo Xue¡¯er from the Reward Virtue Hall and the head of the Spiritual Plant Department, Shi Fengping.


    With the Sect Leader¡¯s approval, both had no objections and agreed without hesitation.


    In fact, the Spiritual Plant Department picked up a big bargain because now they could buy Chen Mobai¡¯s Spirit Rice at market prices.


    Finally, after the harvest of one hundred and thirty acres of Spirit Fields was accounted for, Chen Mobai¡¯s account was increased by twenty thousand Sect contribution points.


    The Reward Virtue Hall, which manages the Sect¡¯s account, also recorded the debt of owing Chen Mobai one hundred and eighty thousand Sect contribution points.


    ¡°Master, almost all of the cultivable land on Miao Mountain and Court Mountain has been tilled. By next spring, we should be able to plant some simple Spiritual Plants.¡±


    While the people from the Spiritual Plant Department of the Divine Wood Sect were harvesting Spirit Rice with great enthusiasm, Chen Mobai brought Zhuo Ming to the terraces that were tilled this year.


    Two of the best mountains in terms of terrain had been levelled tier by tier with the use of puppets led by mortals under Zhuo Ming in the past six months.


    More than a hundred acres of Spiritual Land had been added.


    However, these terraces needed to first be planted with Spiritual Oil Mustard Greens because the fertility is not enough and the soil is not loose enough.


    This was Zhuo Ming¡¯s experience from farming over the years. This kind of crop is a spiritual plant used by the sect to extract oil, and is easy to nurture. After the harvest, a gentle spiritual oil can be extracted.


    The combination of this spiritual oil and Red Sun Spiritual Wood is an excellent configuration for low-ranking Alchemists of the Divine Wood Sect.


    The mustard greens can yield oil after the harvest, and the left-over stems can nourish the earth, making the Spirit Fields fertile.


    ¡°I¡¯ll leave this matter to you, and take it slow for the rest. Try to fill these five hundred acres of spiritual land with the scent of rice flowers within five years.¡±


    Chen Mobai had been laboriously tilling and sowing with Zhuo Ming over these six months.


    However, once the disciple is set up, things become easier.


    The three types of agricultural puppets are enough for now. After all, the harvest is handled by the Spiritual Plant Department arranged by the Sect. Their Xiao Nanshan lineage just needs to sow and till the land.


    ¡°Master, I feel like I am about to make a breakthrough in my cultivation level. Farming and tilling seem to align very well with my Mother Earth Cultivation practice. But it feels too fast, the foundation isn¡¯t stable. It may affect the condensation of Qi into liquid in the future.¡±


    Zhuo Ming hesitated for a moment but still reported this matter to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Oh, extend your hand, let me take your pulse for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai placed his hand on Zhuo Ming¡¯s wrist. After checking her cultivation level, he discovered that she was about to breakthrough to the eighth level of Qi cultivation.


    However, since Zhuo Ming had only just broken through to the seventh level of Qi cultivation last year, she felt a little fearful of her own rapid progress. Therefore, she restrained herself.


    ¡°Hahahaha, this is a natural progression and breakthrough, rest assured, there are no issues.¡±


    Zhuo Ming thought her spiritual root talent was mediocre. Therefore, she felt extremely anxious about breaking through a level within a year. She even believed that she might have entered demonic path, thinking that there was a mistake in her cultivation.


    But Chen Mobai knew that this second disciple of his had exceptional spiritual roots.


    Under his guidance, there was no shortage of spiritual energy, the environment was most suitable for the practice of Mother Earth Cultivation, and spirit rice was eaten every meal. If there wasn¡¯t such a rapid progression, that would be out of the ordinary.


    After hearing the words of Chen Mobai, Zhuo Ming finally let go of her worries.


    She couldn¡¯t be happier. She sat down directly, took out a spirit stone from her storage bag, and attempted to breakthrough then and there on the Court Mountain Ground.


    Court Mountain was a Rank-2 top-grade spiritual vein, but Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming had transformed most of it into spirit fields, so it was now only rank-2 lower-grade. However, for Qi practitioners, it was still an excellent place.


    Chen Mobai also drew a Rank-2 spirit gathering talisman to help. Before long, the spiritual energy at the mountaintop began to gather towards the sitting Zhuo Ming.


    About half an hour later, Zhuo Ming, who was enveloped in a thick mist of energy as if she was inhaling and exhaling clouds, broke through her bottleneck and advanced to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation.


    ¡°Thank you for your protection, master.¡±


    After the breakthrough, Zhuo Ming opened her eyes and paid a big salute to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Rise. Court Mountain is destined to be connected to you. In the future, think of it as your cultivation ground.¡±


    Chen Mobai waved his sleeve, a soft breath lifted Zhuo Ming up and pointed at the hill beneath their feet, a gift for Zhuo Ming¡¯s breakthrough.


    ¡°Thank you, master, I will manage the spirit fields here well.¡±


    Zhuo Ming expressed profound gratitude. At this time, Chen Mobai noticed Luo Yixuan, who was on the side, showing an envious expression. So he simply decided to distribute some properties among his three disciples today.


    ¡°The Miao Mountain next door will be for Xuan. Your close relationship with your senior sister will make future visits convenient.¡±


    ¡°Wen Bo can have Wing Mountain. If you ever get too drunk to go back to Divine Wood City, at least you will have a fallback.¡±


    Each of the four people in the lineage of Xiao Nanshan received a Spirit mountain.


    Although Luo Yixuan offered her thanks verbally, she was slightly dissatisfied in her heart.


    Because Miao Mountain was the furthest from Xiao Nanshan.


    But there was nothing she could do. Once the master decreed, she could only bow her head and thank him.


    ¡°Seeing Ming¡¯s breakthrough has led to some insights. I need to go into seclusion for a while. I will not be participating in this year¡¯s sect-wide competition. The three of you should do your best.¡±


    After handling the affairs of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai thought that it had been half a year since he last visited the Daoist Academy. So he decided to return and deal with the backlog of work from the Student Union and his factory.


    ¡°Congratulations, master.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration. Their master made breakthroughs and revelations as easily as eating and drinking.


    And every time he came out of seclusion, he really made breakthroughs.

    Leaving the two disciples on Court mountain, Chen Mobai returned to the top of Xiao Nanshan.


    After activating the Cloud Mist Array, he left the Puppet there as usual to cultivate Pure Yang Purple Qi daily.


    He, himself, returned to the Daoist Academy through the Turtle Treasure.


    Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, he received good news.


    After operating for a long time through the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Che Yucheng finally managed to clear all relations related to the Purple Electric Sword.

 Chapter 632 - Chapter 632: Chapter 403: The Ownership of the Purple Electric Sword _1

    Chapter 632: Chapter 403: The Ownership of the Purple Electric Sword _1


    ¡°Teacher, it¡¯s really happening?¡±


    Chen Mobai rushed to Che Yucheng¡¯s office in building one as soon as he got the news, not forgetting to buy a basket of fruit on his way.


    ¡°There was little hope for this initially. Although Dance Tool Dao Academy is powerful, the three major academies also have some talented figures among the three grand halls of the immortal sect, so simply forcing it wouldn¡¯t work.¡±


    Che Yucheng was casually sipping tea as he slowly shared the secrets of the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°Later, Wu Lei Academy approached us, intending to use our Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s power to reclaim this Rank-4 sword.¡±


    ¡°Wu Lei Academy owns half of the rights to the Purple Electric Sword. Because they were previously blocked by Nature Studies Academy, they have been unable to retrieve the sword from Mountain-Sea Academy. Now, by uniting with our academy, we can act with rightful cause.¡±


    ¡°Eventually, the Academy Leader emerged from seclusion, I told him about it, and he happens to remember who you are. He personally went to see Master Yunhai from Nature Studies Academy, and then both Masters went to see the Hall Master of Dharma Hall, and the matter was settled.¡±


    The ownership of the Purple Electric Sword involved the four formidable organizations of Dharma Hall, Nature Studies Academy, the Wu Lei Academy, and the Mountain-Sea Academy.


    In the midst of this, because Pei Qingshuang has already gained the Qing Shuang Sword, if anyone were to get the approval of the Purple Electric Sword, it could negatively affect her reputation. Thus the consideration had to include how her mother, Master Tao Hua, would feel.


    That is to say, a total of six major forces needed to be addressed around the Purple Electric Sword.


    Thanks to Chen Mobai being the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy and has also re-established the Academy¡¯s prestige at the offline seminar exchange meeting at the end of last year, Che Yucheng, his teacher, managed to bring the matter to the attention of Master Cheng Xuan. Otherwise, it would probably still be at a standstill to this date.


    Even though there were six major forces involved, all decisions were made by a few Nascent Soul ranked individuals.¡±


    After Wu Lei Academy came to us, Dance Tool Dao Academy could legitimately approach Nature Studies Academy on their behalf, asserting half the ownership rights over the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    If anyone else approached them about this matter, Nature Studies Academy would certainly try to delay it.¡±


    But Master Cheng Xuan went straight to Master Yunhai.¡±


    The top two Nascent Soul masters reached an agreement on the ownership of the Purple Electric Sword over a single phone call. They then together went to have early tea with the Hall Master of Dharma.¡±


    After finishing the tea, Dharma¡¯s Hall Master personally called the dean of Mountain-Sea Academy. The latter had no choice but to reluctantly agree, even if he didn¡¯t want to.¡±


    Master Cheng Xuan then informed Master Tao Hua about this matter, who also did not express any opposition, allowing them to deal with it.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m getting the Purple Electric Sword just like that!?¡±


    After hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s face was still filled with joy and surprise, but Che Yucheng shook his head.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve been given a chance to claim ownership.¡±


    ¡°Teacher, what does that mean?¡±


    Chen Mobai did not understand, so he immediately poured another cup of tea for Che Yucheng.¡±


    ¡°Given that the Purple Electric Sword has been without a master for hundreds of years, and to prevent the sword from losing its grade due to long periods of having no master to take care of it, the immortal sect accepted the requests from Wu Lei Academy and Nature Studies Academy. They issued a Hero Post, seeking a suitable new master for the Purple Electric Sword among all members of the immortal sect.¡±


    Chen Mobai sort of understood Che Yucheng¡¯s words.


    ¡°Teacher, does that mean I have to compete with everyone in the immortal sect for the Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    ¡°This is an excuse to give you a reason to act. Otherwise, only students and graduates from Nature Studies Academy, Wu Lei Academy, and Mountain-Sea Academy would be eligible.¡±


    Che Yucheng sighed. This was the condition Wu Lei Academy had proposed when they first approached them.¡±


    They were willing to give Chen Mobai the opportunity to wield the Purple Electric Sword. But similarly, to silence the critics, they couldn¡¯t give this opportunity solely to Chen Mobai.¡±


    Nevertheless, Wu Lei Academy is the most likely candidate to become the next owner of the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    ¡°The complete blueprints for forging the Purple Electric Sword are currently in Wu Lei Academy, and the Purple Thunder Dharma that Qing Shi practiced is also the most popular in Wu Lei Academy.¡±


    With the blueprints for the sword and the Passed Master¡¯s Dharma, Wu Lei Academy has nearly stacked all the conditions to obtain the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    It was for this reason they dared to approach Dance Tool Dao Academy for cooperation, not fearing to give everyone the opportunity to claim the Purple Electric Sword, just to take this gamble.¡±


    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m good at this ¨C are we going to have a Magic Duel!? Not to brag, but among my peer cultivators in the entire immortal sect¡­ I don¡¯t even know what a suitable opponent is¡­¡±


    ¡°This time there are no restrictions. Everyone from Nascent Souls to Qi Cultivators can participate!¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s confident speech was cut off by Che Yucheng¡¯s following words. He was stunned in place with his mouth wide open.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this unfair!¡±


    After a good while, Chen Mobai retorted, frustrated. How was he, a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, supposed to compete with the old monsters of the Nascent Soul and Gold Core levels?


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Even though he currently commands several Rank-3 methods, at most he could struggle a bit with a Gold Core True Person. If they genuinely put their hands to it, he¡¯s undoubtedly not their match.¡±


    What more was there to compare? Just give the Purple Electric Sword to the person with the highest Cultivation Realm.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt somewhat deflated.¡±


    ¡°Rest assured, the Nascent Soul Masters have dignity, they would not compete with you for the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    Upon hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai felt a little more hopeful. However, the thought of possibly having to face a Gold Core True Person made him dispirited again.

 Chapter 633 - Chapter 633: Chapter 403: Ownership of the Purple Electric Sword_2

    Chapter 633: Chapter 403: Ownership of the Purple Electric Sword_2


    ¡°This time it¡¯s not about the magic duel, but entirely up to what kind of master the Purple Electric Sword wants to choose.¡±


    Seeing that look on Chen Mobai, Che Yucheng finally finished speaking. Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up again as he once more helped pour the tea.


    ¡°Teacher, what criteria does the Purple Electric Sword use to choose its master?¡±


    ¡°Nobody knows. A Rank-4 sword already possesses a hint of spirituality. But since the Purple Electric Sword only had one master, undoubtedly it has Master Qing Shi as a benchmark. That¡¯s why the Five Thunder Academy is so confident.¡±


    ¡°However, I believe that the Purple Electric Sword will choose a Sword Cultivation Genius over a Thunder method genius.¡±


    Chen Mobai shared some of his understanding. There are many top-ranked magic artifacts on the Immortal Sect¡¯s side, like the Primordial Yang Sword infamous for being a Rank-5 Sword, but because it would hinder the master¡¯ cultivation, anyone from the Pure Yang Scroll with ambition for higher realms would not become the master of this supreme flying sword.


    Although the Purple Electric Sword is famous and a Rank-4 Sword, there are few in the Immortal Sect that may catch its eye.


    The Qi Cultivators basically do not have to think about it, the Purple Electric Sword would not drain its spirit to help the master grow.


    Unless it is that kind of genius in sword dao who stands out, like Chen Mobai, a renowned peerless Sword Cultivation Genius.


    Compared with that though, the Purple Electric Sword is more likely to favor those who have achieved Foundation Building or Golden Core.


    Among them, if a Golden Core Cultivator is willing, they would be the most likely to become the master of the sword.


    After all, if the Purple Electric Sword wants to maintain its rank, or even continue to grow, it can only hope that its master reaches the Nascent Soul Formation realm.


    Compared to Foundation Building Cultivators, Golden Core Cultivators at least have the hope of Nascent Soul Formation.


    Upon understanding this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel an itch in his scalp. He is confident in himself, but facing the sword heroes of the entire Immortal Sect, and even Golden Core Sword Cultivators, he doesn¡¯t have any sure footing.


    ¡°The Daoist Academy can only help you to this extent. Next, it¡¯s up to you to impress the Purple Electric Sword. Didn¡¯t you once say that the Purple Electric Sword suits you well? Moreover, your talent in sword dao has been acknowledged by Zuo Gong, so your chances of becoming the master are quite high.¡±


    Che Yuching teased, if it wasn¡¯t for Chen Mobai showing an exceptional realm of Sword Light Shapeshifting, and being deemed possessing the sword dao talent of Bai Guang by him and Zuo Gong, along with catching the surprise of Cheng Xuan, this matter would not have been so simple.


    However, these words made Chen Mobai even more nervous. Doesn¡¯t he know the reality of his own sword dao?


    It¡¯s all empowerment, all nothing but a sham!


    ¡°Teacher, are any of the Golden Core Cultivators interested in the Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    After Chen Mobai calmed down, he asked the most crucial question.


    After all, his spiritual root value is now almost up to the Heavenly Spiritual Root, he is now a true genius, so he still has hopes of wielding the Purple Electric Sword.


    As for the Foundation Building Realm, he has basically flattened it and has no opponents left.


    Among the Immortal Sect, only those in the Core Formation are his doubts.


    ¡°In the Mountain and Sea College, there¡¯s one who achieved the Golden Core ten years ago, named Ruan Zixiu. He previously wanted to have our Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s Artifact Refining Department help craft a lifebound sword. He had almost collected all the required materials, but now that he has a chance at obtaining the Purple Electric Sword, of course he won¡¯t miss out.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s Huo Xiqing from the Five Thunder College, a mid-term golden core cultivator. He has cultivated the Purple Thunder Dharma to a high realm, and if he can acquire the Purple Electric Sword, he might be able to break through to the later stages of the Golden Core, and there¡¯s even a chance of Nascent Soul Formation. It was him who initially came to me, strongly suggesting to promote this matter.¡±


    ¡°There should also be a Golden Core Cultivator from the Natural Studies Academy, but I haven¡¯t received any information yet.¡±


    ¡°The other Daoist Academies may also join in the fun, but the biggest threats are still Ruan Zixiu and Huo Xiqing.¡±


    The former is a genuine Golden Core Sword Cultivator, while the latter practices the same source of Purple Thunder Dharma as Master Qing Shi.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt discouraged about the future.


    However, since things have come this far, he definitely needs to strive for it.


    ¡°When does it start?¡±


    ¡°Probably not until next year, because nominally anyone in the Immortal Gate who meets the qualifications can participate. Waiting until the end of the year, when the three major colleges jointly issue a notice, there should be a crowd of people lining up in front of Mountain and Sea College. But as a seeded player, you only need to show up on the last day.¡±


    Unless the Purple Electric Sword encounters a once-in-a-millennium Sword Cultivation Genius midway through, otherwise, on the last day, Chen Mobai, Ruan Zixiu, Huo Xiqing and the others will strive for the opportunity to finally wield this Rank-4 Sword.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then it¡¯s alright. It won¡¯t waste too much time.¡±


    Chen Mobai is a very busy person nowadays. His own business in the Immortal Sect and the Tianhe Realm has just started to develop, and he needs to keep an eye on it all the time. He does not have a lot of time to queue and wait.


    ¡°Just remember this matter, don¡¯t forget when the time comes.¡±


    Che Yucheng waved his hand, and after Chen Mobai thanked him again, he took his leave.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Regardless, to reach the current situation, Che Yucheng has spent a lot of effort. There¡¯s nothing to complain about his dedication as a teacher.


    After leaving, Chen Mobai first went online to check, but as for the matter concerning the Purple Electric Sword, the Nascent Soul masters had just reached a consensus the day before. It won¡¯t happen so fast considering the preparations needed below.


    Chen Mobai can be considered to have received some insider news in advance.


    After leaving Building 1, naturally, Chen Mobai headed for the Student Union.


    ¡°President, you¡¯ve finally come.¡±

 Chapter 634 - Chapter 634: Chapter 403: Ownership of the Purple Electric Sword_3

    Chapter 634: Chapter 403: Ownership of the Purple Electric Sword_3


    Seeing him arrive, Zhuang Jialan breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the pile of files she had been accumulating.


    With the end of the term approaching, many things needed to be arranged in advance. Particularly important were the annual event of activating the ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± at the end of the year, and scheduling classes for the next year.


    ¡°Where is that kid, Zhongli Tianyu?¡±


    While reviewing the files, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered the successor he had appointed. He had planned to retire by the end of the year. Why was he still so busy?


    ¡°He complained about dealing with lots of odds and ends. He quit after half a year.¡±


    Upon hearing Zhuang Jialan¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was so angry that he snapped the pen in his hand.


    ¡°Where is he now? To achieve the great Dao, one can¡¯t be so lacking in perseverance¡­¡±


    ¡°I think he¡¯s deep in the Treasure Trove, cultivating with Senior Bi.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan¡¯s words left Chen Mobai foggy. When did those two become so close?


    After dealing with the accumulated Student Council¡¯s work, Chen Mobai was about to go to the depths of the Treasure Trove to find Zhongli Tianyu, intending to convince him to take over his responsibilities.


    Suddenly, he saw a familiar face in the student council.


    ¡°Why is she here?¡±


    From a window, Chen Mobai looked at Meng Huang who just walked into the door, and couldn¡¯t help asking Zhuang Jialan who was standing behind him.


    ¡°Senior Meng has accumulated a hundred credits and exchanged them for a Device Piece. She wanted to create an Ancient Zither Class Magical Instrument, so she came to our Student Council¡¯s Map of Treasures for reference. She has been coming frequently over the past year.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan, who replaced the graduating Hua Zijing as secretary, is becoming more and more competent, even aware of these little things.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t she ask me?¡±


    The moment these words came out of Chen Mobai¡¯s mouth, he remembered receiving a text message from Meng Huang at the end of last year. But he had been busy consuming the Enlightenment Tea at that time, so he put it to the back of his mind.


    Because of too many things going on afterwards, he completely forgot about it.


    ¡°My oversight. Jialan, invite Senior Meng up¡­ Nevermind, I¡¯ll go greet her myself.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt guilty for neglecting Meng Huang. He decided to set aside the matter of bringing back Zhongli Tianyu for the moment, and went down to have a chat with his long-lost senior.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the busy person like you would remember me.¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai greeted Meng Huang, she couldn¡¯t help but tease him.


    ¡°Not at all. Every time I return to the Daoist Academy, I look up at your home but never dare to disturb you. So, when I saw you here today, I was truly overjoyed.¡±


    Chen Mobai apologized politely. Upon hearing his words, the corner of Meng Huang¡¯s mouth lifted slightly, as if she smiled.


    She was already beautiful, but now a faint blush appeared on her face. Coupled with her lovely eyes and her fair skin, she was incomparably stunning.


    ¡°Did you spot any ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯ that you like? I¡¯m pretty good at treasure appraisal, I could give you a hand.¡±


    As Chen Mobai was speaking, he invited Meng Huang to his office. She politely nodded in acceptance.


    Zhuang Jialan and Lu Tiansuan, who managed the Map of Treasures, exchanged glances. Thinking of their president¡¯s reputation, Zhuang Jialan couldn¡¯t help but whisper to Lu Tiansuan after they went upstairs.

    ¡°Don¡¯t spread this around. Even though the president¡¯s reputation isn¡¯t great when it comes to relationships, as his subordinates, we should cover for him when we can.¡±


    ¡°Do I look like a gossip to you?¡±


    Lu Tiansuan nodded his head, promising that he would keep it a secret.


    Chen Mobai was completely unaware that his image in the minds of his subordinates had already been firmly established. He had a small sofa by the window in his office. After inviting Meng Huang to sit down, he personally brewed a pot of tea for her.


    ¡°Try this, Senior. It¡¯s a specialty I brought back from Jumang Daoist Academy. It¡¯s said to be good for a woman¡¯s skin and helps rejuvenate one¡¯s appearance.¡±

 Chapter 635 - Chapter 635: Chapter 404: Dragon-Horse Aspect, Eight Trigrams Fairy Thunder_1

    Chapter 635: Chapter 404: Dragon-Horse Aspect, Eight Trigrams Fairy Thunder_1


    ¡°A Rank-2 Spiritual Tea must be something good.¡±


    After taking a sip, Meng Huang¡¯s eyes lit up and she took another sip.


    Although she was a big celebrity, such a thing couldn¡¯t be bought with money in the Immortal Gate. Only Cultivators who had achieved Foundation Establishment had the qualifications to buy it.


    ¡°If senior sister likes it, I have quite a lot here. I¡¯ll pack a box for you later.¡±


    Chen Mobai took a sip himself, feeling it was just so-so.


    After the ambush at the White Moon Market, the Bai family offered Chen Mobai many Rank-1 and Rank-2 tea trees as an apology.


    Zhuo Ming planted these tea trees on the hillside of Xiao Nanshan. When they matured in autumn, Chen Mobai tasted some and kept some of the Rank-2 ones. He gave the rest to his three disciples.


    What they were drinking now was this Rank-2 Spiritual Tea.


    Also, Chen Mobai grafted and transplanted ¡°Snow Needle Immortal Bud¡± using the root stem of the Large Tung Flower. Unfortunately, due to his average level of Spirit Plant skill, plus the possible incompatibility between Everlife Wood and the Large Tung Flower root stem, the Rank-3 tea branch that survived the grafting process had dropped to Rank-1 level.


    Even though Chen Mobai could only regret this, he still planted this tea seedling that survived the grafting on the top of Xiao Nanshan, irrigating it from time to time with the life energy of Yi Wood Divine Thunder. Perhaps in due course, it could be promoted to Rank-3!


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Meng Huang lowered her head and said softly. If not for Chen Mobai¡¯s sharp hearing, he might not have heard her.


    Afterward, there was an awkward silence between the two of them.


    Indeed, they had been out of touch for so long that they were now practically strangers.


    ¡°Ahem, I heard that senior sister is planning to open a Device Nurturing Sphere. Did you bring your stuff? My Art of Spiritual Eyes is quite handy for telling what¡¯s inside.¡±


    ¡°I have five Device Nurturing Spheres, but they¡¯re all kept at home.¡±


    Meng Huang didn¡¯t have a storage bag or anything like that. As a young lady, carrying a sack wasn¡¯t really suitable for her.


    ¡°Oh, senior sister, have you already bought them? What are your requirements for the Magic Artifact you want to open? Let me know.¡±


    Ever since Chen Mobai¡¯s discerning sight, people at the Dance Tool Dao Academy who wanted to open the Device Nurturing Sphere would go to him for confirmation of the true nature of the magic artifact inside before they decided to offer their Good Deed Points.


    However, Meng Huang, as a well-known superstar in the Immortal Gate, surely had plenty of Good Deed Points. She didn¡¯t need to be as calculating as others.


    ¡°A musical type of Magic Artifact would be the best, such as guqin, guzheng, pipa, etc. I am proficient in all of them. The only strict requirement is that the Magic Artifact can only be Rank-2 lower-grade.¡±


    Having heard what Meng Huang said, Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback.


    More than ninety-five percent of the Magic Artifacts in the Treasure Trove are ranked as Rank-2, and Rank-2 lower-grade is indeed the lowest level. Many students from the Dance Tool Dao Academy who asked Chen Mobai to help identify their items also requested that the item at least not be Rank-2 lower-grade.


    They could bear with Rank-2 intermediate grade, though they would be joyfully surprised if it was a Rank-2 higher grade or top-tier artifact.


    As for Rank-3, in all these years of Chen Mobai¡¯s identification work, he had never come across one.


    Most Rank-3 magic artifacts required a strong nurturing of spiritual energy to prevent them from falling in rank. So, most of them were under Duanmu Longrong¡¯s control. Only when they encountered top talents like Chen Mobai or Zuo Qiushi would the Daoist Academy consider giving one of them out.


    The fact that Meng Huang specifically asked for a Rank-2 lower-grade artifact was a first for Chen Mobai.


    ¡°No problem, senior sister, why don¡¯t you go back first? I have some things to do here. I¡¯ll visit you later when I get home.¡±


    As a qualified seer, Chen Mobai had no objections to his client¡¯s requirements.


    But compared to this matter, he was more worried about Zhongli Tianyu, his successor. If this guy ran away, wouldn¡¯t he have to work tirelessly again at the Daoist Academy for the next two years?


    After hearing this, Meng Huang took a deep breath but still nodded with a smile on her face. She gently put down the teacup in her hand.


    ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you at home in the evening.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai stood up to see her off.


    This made Meng Huang, who originally wanted to make a bit more small talk, couldn¡¯t help but clench her small fists under the table, but considering her situation, she still managed to smile graciously.


    After personally sending Meng Huang downstairs, Chen Mobai called Zhuang Jialan to take over.


    ¡°President, since you¡¯re going to look for Zhongli Tianyu anyway, and senior sister Meng hasn¡¯t achieved Foundation Establishment, she needs a Flying Talisman to leave. Why don¡¯t you give her a lift out of the Treasure Trove?¡±


    After Zhuang Jialan came over and learned the situation, she suddenly leaned over to Chen Mobai¡¯s side and whispered something that surprised him a bit.


    [What, she hasn¡¯t achieved Foundation Establishment yet? How did she get into the Treasure Trove then?]


    Chen Mobai, being a person of some emotional intelligence, hadn¡¯t said out loud what he was wondering. However, at this point, he started to tie together Meng Huang¡¯s requirement for a Rank-2 lower-grade artifact and her lack of Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°Senior sister Meng, I just remembered that I also need to go out. How about I escort you part of the way?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Huang gently nodded her head.


    Riding on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡± Chen Mobai took her away from the Treasure Trove.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Along the way, they both remained silent, seemingly not knowing how to start a conversation.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    At the entrance of the cave behind the Treasure Trove, after Meng Huang gently landed on the ground, she smiled and waved at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°See you tonight then.¡±


    After uttering this sentence, Chen Mobai, watching the departing figure of Meng Huang, once again entered the Treasure Trove.

 Chapter 636 - Chapter 636: Chapter 404 Dragon-Horse Aspect, Eight Diagrams Fairy Thunder_2

    Chapter 636: Chapter 404 Dragon-Horse Aspect, Eight Diagrams Fairy Thunder_2


    However, he did not go to look for Zhongli Tianyu, but instead returned to the student council and asked Zhuang Jialan about Meng Huang¡¯s situation.


    ¡°It was the principal who personally approved Sister Meng Huang¡¯s entry into the Treasure Trove. I¡¯m not too clear about the specifics, maybe Brother Jiang Yuyuan knows.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan shared what she knew.


    Chen Mobai thought for a while, then called Che Yucheng to ask.


    ¡°Ah, about that, as you know, our principal is one of the oldest among those at the Nascent Soul Formation stage. He¡¯s quite concerned about the Shocking God Sonata. Once he learned of Meng Huang¡¯s situation, he wanted to give her another chance at Foundation Establishment.¡±


    As the manager of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Che Yucheng indeed knew about this matter.


    ¡°Does the Daoist Academy have ways to increase the probability of Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked, a bit puzzled, wondering if there was something similar to the critical method.


    ¡°The principal has modified the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method. It allows Qi practitioners to refine the essence of a lower-grade Rank-2 magic artifact and use it to increase the chances of Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Che Yucheng explained the reason nonchalantly. Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but admire¨CNascent Soul cultivators truly were extraordinary, even capable of modifying such techniques.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean that the success rate of Foundation Establishment in the Daoist Academy will be higher in the future?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of his friends and family who were yet to establish their foundation and had not mastered the critical method. If they had this technique in combination with the three treasures of Foundation Establishment, there would be renewed hope.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that easy. The magic artifact used must have the same origin as the practitioner¡¯s cultivation method, and it only increases the probability by about 10%. For most people with mediocre aptitude, it won¡¯t make a decisive difference.¡±


    However, Che Yucheng didn¡¯t think highly of this technique.


    There are many elixirs in the Immortalists world that can increase the chances of Foundation Establishment by 10%, but only the critical method guarantees a 100% success rate.


    Even if all conditions are met using the Foundation Establishment treasures, one can only infinitely approach a 100% success rate.


    In other words, Meng Huang, who has not grasped the critical method, still has a chance of failing in her next attempt at Foundation Establishment.


    After ending his call with Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai had a general understanding of his neighbor¡¯s situation.


    Since she was a friend, he decided to help her simulate with the Foundation Establishment treasures in the evening, bring the No-Form Puppet back from Xiao Nanshan, and do a full body scan and a complete process prediction.


    After making up his mind, Chen Mobai hastily left the student council.


    He called Zhong Li Tianyu, but the latter seemed a bit uneasy and didn¡¯t pick up.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s brow furrowed, and he called Bian Jingchun. She answered, currently cultivating somewhere in the Treasure Trove.


    ¡°Sister Bian, long time no see.¡±


    When Chen Mobai arrived at the place, he saw a white dragon phantom flying out and transforming into a tall woman, who bowed slightly to him.


    ¡°You¡¯re here for Little Zhong Li, aren¡¯t you? He is currently using the True Dragon Ding for cultivation. He¡¯s not deliberately ignoring your calls.¡±


    Bian Jingchun explained for Zhongli Tianyu. Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be slightly surprised.


    ¡°Does the True Dragon Ding also help him?¡±


    Bian Jingchun trains in the Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture, so the True Dragon Ding is an unmatched treasure to her. She has even suspended her Immortalist¡¯s official duties to cultivate with this Rank-4 Magic Artifact in the Treasure Trove.


    But Zhongli Tianyu obviously specializes in the Thunder method!


    His practice should not have any relation to the Dragon Transformation Scripture!


    ¡°You¡¯ll understand once you come with me.¡±


    Bian Jingchun turned and transformed back into a white dragon phantom, flying towards an opening. Chen Mobai immediately followed her using the Red Misty Cloud Silk.


    About ten minutes later, they reached a large cave with an underground lake.


    Zhongli Tianyu was sitting in the center of the lake, on top of the Bagua Mirror, with the True Dragon Ding upside down over his head. The two potent artifacts emitted colorful lights, pouring into the person seated between them from above and below.


    Chen Mobai immediately activated his Void Spirit Eye but noticed the overwhelming spiritual light exploding from the two powerful artifacts. He quickly turned off his Spirit Eye to avoid backlash.


    At that moment, Zhongli Tianyu suddenly began to blur under the spiritual light of two magic artifacts and then slowly transformed into a fantastical creature that resembled both a dragon and a horse.


    Is he¡­ a Dragon-horse!?


    Just as Chen Mobai thought of this, a loud roar, similar to that of a dragon¡¯s, echoed.


    He sensed an overpowering force of thunder erupting between the two magic artifacts ¨C Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s current power.


    Chen Mobai, who possessed the power of a Rank-3 Perfection Yi Wood Divine Thunder, immediately sensed the rank of this thunderous power.


    It¡¯s also Rank-3!


    Is this kid cheating or what!?


    Chen Mobai, being fully aware of how difficult it was to cultivate Rank-3 Thunder techniques, was utterly shocked and stared wide-eyed at Zhongli Tianyu as he transformed into a Dragon-horse, cloaked in a Thunder-Lightning Dharma Robe.


    ¡°Hahaha, it seems that even the heavens want me to erase the shame of losing to you. Today I¡¯ve broken through the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment, time to test my newly learned Bagua Divine Thunder¡­¡±


    Upon seeing Chen Mobai, Zhongli Tianyu, now transformed into a Dragon-horse, burst into hearty laughter.


    Having elevated his cultivation level and mastered Rank-3 Thunder techniques, his confidence surged, prompting him to brag unabashedly.


    But he indeed had the credentials to do so.


    At Daoist academy eighth grade, at the Foundation Establishment¡¯s eighth layer, along with mastering Rank-3 Thunder techniques.


    Even if it was last year¡¯s face-to-face exchange at the Jumang Daoist Academy, he probably would only lose to a few people like Chen Mobai, Pei Qingshuang, Xiahou Weihuan, and Wenren Xuewei.


    At this time, the Dragon-horse, Zhongli Tianyu, clad in the Bagua Divine Thunder Dharma Robe, steps out of the range of the two magic artifacts, raises a hoof, and a Zhen Hexagram image takes form.


    A deep purple thunder takes shape, turning into a massive three-meter-diameter thunderball. The terrifying explosive power sent tremors through the cave and even the underground lake began to boil as the thunderball flew towards Chen Mobai.


    To this, Chen Mobai remained motionless.


    ¡°Huh, after seeing my Dragon-Horse Aspect, do you admit your defeat?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu, seeing this, couldn¡¯t help but hesitate as his giant thunderball was already in front of Chen Mobai.


    Just as he prepared to change direction and spare Chen Mobai, his vision suddenly turned dark.


    Following this, he saw one giant translucent finger after another appearing from the void behind Chen Mobai. It was like a giant skeletal creature was emerging from the ground under Chen Mobai¡¯s feet, first extending a giant hand that covered the entire cave.


    Because this giant hand covered the whole Dragon-horse that Zhongli Tianyu had transformed into, his vision turned completely black.


    Even though Zhongli Tianyu immediately used his Divine Sense to perceive his surroundings, he immediately felt as though his Divine Sense had fallen into a torture ground of a thousand swords, as wave after wave of intense pain accompanied by the colourful glows of the Five Elements cut into his Thunder-Lightning Dharma spheres.


    With a thunderous explosion, Chen Mobai, manipulating his All Laws Persona¡¯s enormous sword-arm, transformed it into the Five Elements Swords Slaughter Formation. The Dragon-horse, formed by Zhongli Tianyu, together with the thunderball pushed by his hoof, were both violently pushed to the ground.


    One wave of tremors after another forced Bian Jingchun, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, to transform into a White Dragon and take to the skies to avoid the falling stones.


    As if an earthquake was happening, the ground was seriously unstable.


    ¡°Chen junior, please show mercy, Little Zhong Li, although a bit dumb, is essentially not a bad person¡­¡±


    Bian Jingchun dodged the falling stones while hovering in mid-air and tried to mediate the situation.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai promptly dispelled his Thousand Swords Dharma Body that was pressing on Zhongli Tianyu so he couldn¡¯t move.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After witnessing Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s achievements, he was even more reluctant to let him go.


    Apart from himself, this kid is arguably the strongest student from the four Daoist Academies, even trio Taishi Shu, Ling Dao, and Zong Zi wouldn¡¯t be his match.


    Such a genius was surely fit to be Chen Mobai¡¯s successor.


    Chen Mobai composed his thoughts, considering how to convince Zhongli Tianyu to willingly take up his position as chief.


    ¡°Well, he is exceptionally talented, but without proper guidance, he might fall into evil ways in the future. Making him the student council president was my way of guiding him towards a sense of collective responsibility and honor. Who knew he lacked the willpower and couldn¡¯t even make it half a year¡­¡±

 Chapter 637 - Chapter 637: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _1

    Chapter 637: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _1


    ¡°Damn, I don¡¯t accept this!¡±


    Once Chen Mobai had released the suppression of his Thousand Swords Dharma Body, Zhongli Tianyu got up again. His Dragon-Horse Aspect had been shattered, but the Bagua Immortal Lightning Robe on his body barely maintained its full form.


    Upon getting up, Zhongli Tianyu let his Bagua Mirror fly towards him, ready for another fight.


    He felt that with his Rank-8 Foundation Establishment cultivation level, together with his Rank-3 Thunder method and his life bound magic artifact, he shouldn¡¯t be losing so terribly against Chen Mobai.


    He should at least fight fiercely for several hundred rounds before losing reluctantly as an acknowledgment to his hard cultivation over the past year.


    With a ¡°Bang¡±!


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Thousand Swords Dharma Body suppressed him again, pinning down Zhongli Tianyu.


    The incoming Bagua Mirror was then blocked in mid-air by his Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.


    This powerful Rank-5 magic artifact, although now damaged, would give Chen Mobai a huge headache if it were to fully unleash its power.


    Back then, he had a tough time dealing with Pei Qingshuang¡¯s Rank-4 sword artifact.


    ¡°Alright, alright, Little Zhongli, you need to mature. Junior Brother Chen is right too, you are talented, but if you only focus on yourself, it will be easy for you to have problems on passing the Heart Demon¡¯s trial during your Core Formation. I think it would be better for you to settle down in the Student Union for two years. It will also help temper your restlessness with all the mundane issues.¡±


    At this time, Bian Jingchun intervened to mediate.


    During this year, she was planning to refine her Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture with the True Dragon Ding. However, she didn¡¯t expect Zhongli Tianyu to have some bizarre idea and started cultivating the Dragon Transformation Scripture as well.


    The True Dragon Ding is a powerful magic artifact made by a master craftsman from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, using the main Dragon Pulse from a different world. The Dragon Pulse contains the True Dragon Aspect, and everything with dragon attributes can be evolved from it.


    That¡¯s why Bian Jingchun was able to use the True Dragon Ding to train and adjust the White Dragon Aspect to suit her.


    One day, while Zhongli Tianyu was meditating, he suddenly thought of the Thunder method attached to his Bagua Mirror: the innate divine skill of the Primordial Beast, Longma.


    The Longma is also a descendant of the True Dragon in mythology, so could he take this opportunity to master it and turn it into his own divine skill?


    No sooner said than done, Zhongli Tianyu immediately approached Bian Jingchun. Although she was reluctant to give away the usage time of the True Dragon Ding, this artifact was not hers after all. And if it came to the higher-ups of the Daoist Academy, the background of the Zhongli family was not something she could compete with.


    Hence, Zhongli Tianyu had almost monopolized the use of the True Dragon Ding for the majority of the year.


    Compared to Bian Jingchun, Zhongli Tianyu was indeed a prodigy.


    He really managed to refine his Bagua Immortal Lightning into his divine skill within a year with the aid of the True Dragon Ding, and he even cultivated the Dragon-Horse Aspect with the Dragon Transformation Scripture.


    Unfortunately, despite how powerful Zhongli Tianyu was, he was still suppressed by Chen Mobai at will.


    But to Bian Jingchun, this was good news.


    She just wanted to send Zhongli Tianyu away so that she could focus on using the True Dragon Ding to cultivate the Dragon Transformation Scripture.


    Zhongli Tianyu developing the Dragon-Horse Aspect within a year, although he already had some foundation and was influenced by the Dragon Transformation Scripture from an early age, still greatly stimulated Bian Jingchun. It made her feel a bit mediocre.


    Being beaten twice by Chen Mobai, in addition to the persuasion of Bian Jingchun, Zhongli Tianyu came to terms with himself.


    Once he confirmed that he definitely couldn¡¯t beat Chen Mobai, he stopped being stubborn to avoid getting beaten again.


    ¡°What was that spell you just used? Is it similar to the Dragon Transformation Scripture or some other spiritual control technique?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Thousand Swords Dharma Body was indeed intimidating, and indeed powerful. He suppressed the Rank-3 Bagua Immortal Lightning as soon as he made his move.


    Keep in mind, this is one of the six most powerful Thunder methods among the immortals, and the past Ancestor Zhongli built his reputation and opened up the heavens with this technique.


    Chen Mobai suppressed it with a single hand, which was quite excessively powerful.


    ¡°This is the Yin Yang Five Elements Seven Star Sword Arm taught by Master Zuo Gong. But I¡¯ve just stepped into the beginner¡¯s threshold, and I can only form a formation with Five Elements Sword Light. I lack enough Sword Sha. If you want to learn, I can teach you.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave a slight smile, hiding some truth, and started talking about the Sword Destruction Collection.


    Bian Jingchun and Zhongli Tianyu naturally knew Zuo Gong, the Core Formation Sword Cultivator from the Sword Control Department. After hearing this, they couldn¡¯t help but praise.


    Master Zuo Gong, hailed as the greatest Sword Cultivation Genius in the Immortal World in the past century, truly lives up to his reputation. He has actually created such a terrifying Sword Dao divine skill.¡±


    However, after hearing this, both of them dropped the idea of cultivating the Thousand Swords Dharma Body.


    Because in the Immortal World, Sword Sha is too precious. Although the Seven Sword Sha of Yin Yang and Five Elements can be bought, both of them have chosen their respective paths after establishing their foundations. One is cultivating the Dragon Transformation Scripture, and the other is cultivating Thunder method. There¡¯s just no time for them to divert their attention to the Sword Dao.


    Unless they are stuck at the Perfection of Foundation Establishment for a long period of time and are truly bored to death.

    ¡°Since this True Dragon Ding is so useful, you two think about it, is there a Dragon Aspect suitable for me?¡±


    After cleaning up the cave, the three of them found a place to sit down and start chatting.


    Chen Mobai acknowledged Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s talent. After all, his Rank-3 Thunder method was achieved entirely through empowerment. If he relied on his own cultivation, he estimated that it would only be possible to improve it after reaching Core Formation.


    Since the True Dragon Ding was so useful and conveniently at his side, it would be a waste not to use it.


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, the smile on Bian Jingchun¡¯s face, which had been happy about getting rid of Zhongli Tianyu, quickly faded.

 Chapter 638 - Chapter 638: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _2

    Chapter 638: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _2


    Chen Mobai¡¯s background is well-established. If it comes down to using the True Dragon Ding, she wouldn¡¯t stand a chance.


    ¡°Chen junior studies the Pure Yang Scroll. If he wanted to rely on that, he would only have the Flame Dragon Phase left. However, this Flame Dragon has always only been a legend in the Immortal sect, never been actually proven to exist,¡±


    Bian Jingchun immediately responded, half answering and half persuading.


    The Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique also originated from the Spiritual Control Technique. If one wants to fully master it, they still need to refine the corresponding spirit beast blood essence.


    For instance, her Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture is based on a single drop of Rank-3 white snake blood essence.


    On the other hand, Zhongli Tianyu is directly based on the source of the Bagua Mirror¡¯s power, considering the Dragon Turtle Primordial Spirit of the Zhongli ancestral master was already at Rank-5 and had long been integrated into the bloodline of the Zhongli clan.


    Zhongli Tianyu mastered the Dragon-Horse Aspect within a year, not only because of his extraordinary comprehension but also because his bloodline is tied to the Co-participation Legal Device ¨C the Bagua Mirror.


    The Flame Dragon suitable for Chen Mobai is purely a legend, said to be a type of fire dragon born from the heart of the earth, and there is no available spirit beast blood essence within the Immortal Sect that can be relied on.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that there isn¡¯t any, our ancestor once wrote a book called ¡®Ten Thousand Dragons Phase¡¯. It¡¯s only passed down within our clan, which recorded his speculation about various dragon forms in the Immortal Sect and different worlds of the universe, including a chapter about the Earth¡¯s Heart Flame Dragon. He mentioned a fire worm that grows in the mouth of a volcano. The refined essence of it can be used to increase the dragon form,¡±


    The words of Zhongli Tianyu left Bian Jingchun speechless.


    ¡°A fire worm? I¡¯d rather not, it doesn¡¯t conform to my aesthetics,¡±


    However, Chen Mobai shook his head after hearing.


    As someone who cares so much about his appearance, how could he possibly refine the essence of a worm into his body for cultivation of the Dragon Transformation Scripture!


    ¡°The Red Chain Snake would do too. But the essence derived from it leans towards the coiling dragon form, which does not match the Pure Yang Scroll very well,¡±


    ¡°Besides, I think you don¡¯t have to cultivate the Flame Dragon Phase. The evolution paths of the Great Sun Golden Crow, the Vermilion Bird Divine Bird, and the Sun Swallowing Divine Ape, which are all fire attribute mythical beasts, are also comparable to the Earth¡¯s Heart Flame Dragon,¡±


    ¡°After all, with your talent, even if you simply cultivate the Spiritual Control Technique, I believe you can reach the pinnacle,¡±


    Upon hearing Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s words, Chen Mobai immediately waved his hand modestly.


    ¡°My talent is actually not so great. My achievements are attributed to a combination of some good opportunities and hard work,¡±


    This was the truth. Since he couldn¡¯t use the True Dragon Ding, he had put the idea of cultivating the Dragon Transformation Scripture behind him.


    As for the Spiritual Control Technique, although it is compatible with any Cultivation Technique if chosen properly, it is certainly not something he would consider at this time.


    However, he did think of the Devouring Heaven Serpent he was raising in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    The creature is said to have the potential to evolve into any dragon or snake essence mentioned in legends, he was not sure if it could evolve into the legendary Flame Dragon.


    ¡°Do you also practice a Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique?¡±


    At this time, Zhongli Tianyu suddenly asked a question.


    Everyone knew that Chen Mobai practices the Pure Yang Scroll, but beyond Sword Sha, his other powerful Magic Duel method is the Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder. Therefore, everyone speculated that he might be practicing another hidden Secret Technique besides the Pure Yang Scroll.


    ¡°Yes, I practice a Cultivation Technique for longevity,¡±


    Chen Mobai did not hide it. After all, within the Immortal Sect, many cultivators practice health preservation in order to extend their lifespan. It¡¯s reasonable for him to use it to comprehend the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    ¡°The Yi Wood Divine Thunder is a sub-branch of the Illusory Thunder. You might want to try this path,¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu was born on a night of thunder and rain. It is said that he was born with thunder essence, so he has been interested in various thunder methods since he was a child.


    The Illusory Thunder is a life thunder, it is also a terrifying thunder method that can strike the heart and annihilate the soul, which is the Innate Divine Thunder of the ancient mythical beast, Kui Niu, and is the ultimate thunder method for four kinds of thunder methods: Jia Wood, Yi Wood, Water, and more.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t understand thunder methods too much, but Zhongli Tianyu was utterly familiar with the six major divine thunders of the Immortal Gate, and he couldn¡¯t help but give advice.


    ¡°Though ¡®all spirits can become dragons¡¯, this Kui Niu doesn¡¯t have the dragon form, so it¡¯s no use with the True Dragon Ding,¡±


    But Chen Mobai knew his own talent very well. If he was asked to purely cultivate the Illusory Thunder by his own efforts, he felt that he might not be able to get started in this lifetime.


    Bian Jingchun, who was on the side, promptly nodded in agreement with Chen Mobai¡¯s words, expressing that Kui Niu is not within the dragon phase.


    ¡°Apart from Kui Niu, the Illusory Thunder is also the Innate Divine Skill of another supreme mythical beast.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu hummed in disappointment at their lack of knowledge about thunder methods and reminded them.


    ¡°Which one?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know about this, and Bian Jingchun was confused at first, but as someone who had cultivated the Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture, she had understood this aspect and immediately knew what Zhongli Tianyu was referring to.


    Even in the distant myths, it¡¯s considered the king of top-level mythical beasts!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°The Azure Dragon!¡±


    Bian Jingchun announced seriously.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was overjoyed.


    Even as an outsider, he was familiar with the reputation of the Azure Dragon, the excellent among the excellent, even in the myth of all dragons, it is a dragon deity.


    ¡°This Azure Dragon form feels quite suitable for me. Which spirit beast¡¯s blood essence in the Immortal Sect can match this dragon evolution path?¡±

    Chapter 639: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _3


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Bian Jingchun¡¯s complexion fluctuated between pale and green. She felt that her three-year leave might not be enough.


    ¡°The Green Snake will do, but don¡¯t get your hopes up too high. At most, you might be able to cultivate to the realm of the Azure Jiao. As for transforming into a dragon, you¡¯ll need to at least reach the realm of my ancestor Zhongli,¡± she cautioned.


    The Azure Dragon is a legend amongst legends. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator might not have enough power to completely manifest its form.


    Zhongli Tianyu simply suggested a path suitable for Chen Mobai¡¯s practice of the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique.


    But that was enough.


    Their conversation opened up a vast new world for Chen Mobai.


    Upon reaching the Core Formation stage with his Dual Aspect Technique in the future, all the Spirit Power from the Longevity Sutra would be consumed by the Pure Yang Scroll. But if his practice of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder was left in the Rank-3 stage, and hence abandoned, it would be a grave wasted potential.


    Even if it¡¯s okay for magical duels, it was still crucial for growing his East Waste Spirit Plant. If he could continue his practice of Yi Wood Divine Thunder using the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique after Core Formation, he would not only retain this powerful Thunder Method but also pave the way for subsequent progress.


    Once he cultivates the Azure Dragon¡¯s form, even with his aptitude, he would definitely be able to understand the Illusory Thunder.


    Illusory Thunder¡¯s vitality-stimulating power surpasses the Yi Wood Divine Thunder. The ¡°Water of Ten Thousand Transformations¡± that it condenses is one of the most valuable Spiritual Waters in the Spirit Plant market. It has the powerful effect of revitalizing all beings and nurturing all things.


    ¡°Does the world of immortals have a Rank-3 Green Snake?¡±


    As Chen Mobai was daydreaming about using the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations for his Farming in the Eastern Waste, he couldn¡¯t help but ask the critical question.


    ¡°You should ask an expert about that. I¡¯m only interested in Thunder Methods,¡± Zhongli Tianyu shook his head. Information regarding Spirit Beasts was beyond the scope of his interests, and he never bothered learning about it.


    Chen Mobai then turned to Bian Jingchun, who appeared somewhat dejected and only shook her head in response.


    ¡°Let me check¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai took out his phone and scrolled through his contacts.


    In the whole cultivation world, the ones who knew most about Spirit Beasts were the Kunpeng Daoist Institute and the True Spiritual Academy.


    In the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, although Chen Mobai knew quite a few people, he only had Lan Haitian¡¯s contact information. He wasn¡¯t sure how Lan Haitian, who had advanced to the Core Formation stage, was faring.


    After sending a text and seeing no reply from Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai guessed that he was probably still in seclusion and refrained from calling him directly.


    He wanted to ask Lu Qiulong from the True Spiritual Academy, but he realized he hadn¡¯t added him as a friend.


    However, he did have another way to contact Lu Qiulong.


    He logged on to Little Red Sky, searched his battle record, and found the one with Lu Qiulong. He sent a friend request.


    However, it seemed Lu Qiulong wasn¡¯t on Little Red Sky at the time, and he hadn¡¯t responded to Chen Mobai¡¯s friend request after some time.


    ¡°I¡¯ll ask Lu Qiulong when I have time, he should know.¡±


    While speaking, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t wait any longer. Seeing that it was about time, he prepared to take Zhongli Tianyu back to the student council.


    ¡°Take care, junior brothers.¡±


    Chen Mobai also invited Bian Jingchun, but she had stopped using the True Dragon Ding for cultivation for a while. She wouldn¡¯t waste time here and bid them farewell with a wan smile.


    ¡°Senior Bian didn¡¯t seem too enthusiastic,¡±


    When Chen Mobai left with Zhongli Tianyu, he noticed this but didn¡¯t understand why.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. She¡¯s always like this.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu shrugged nonchalantly. Every time he saw Bian Jingchun, she seemed uninterested. He assumed after a while that it was just how she was.


    Chen Mobai nodded in understanding and didn¡¯t dwell on it.


    ¡°Opportunities can be given once or twice but not three times. If you give up halfway again, your temperament won¡¯t pass, and you will suffer greatly in the future.¡±


    Upon returning to the student council¡¯s small Western-style building, Chen Mobai continued to earnestly persuade Zhongli Tianyu in his office. Though the latter appeared somewhat impatient, he didn¡¯t dare to argue after being beaten twice.


    ¡°Jialan, you will supervise him from now on. If he tries to run, notify me immediately.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about his upcoming meeting with Meng Huang. He needed to go back to South Mountain to get Nascent Soul Body and planned to leave early.


    Out of fear that Zhongli Tianyu would keep remembering the beatings but forget his words, he called Zhuang Jialan.


    ¡°Understood, President,¡± She replied eagerly.


    ¡°I¡¯m human too, I need my own regular rest time.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu protested dissatisfaction.


    ¡°Alright, Jialan, you can report to me every half a month. If his overall attendance rate is insufficient, I¡¯ll come to clean up.¡±


    ¡°Do I get a reward for my hard work for the students of the academy?¡±


    Startled by the sudden question from Zhongli Tianyu, Chen Mobai reflexively mentioned school credits.


    ¡°Credits don¡¯t mean much to me. How about this? I just practiced the Bagua Immortal Thunder, and I¡¯m not yet proficient in mastering it. You can suppress your combat power and practice with me a few rounds in Little Red Sky.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai looked at Zhongli Tianyu with some surprise¨Cthis guy had some smarts.


    ¡°Fine, but I¡¯m busy tonight.¡±

    However, Chen Mobai agreed without hesitation. After all, he was eager to cultivate Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°It¡¯s a deal.¡±


    After the agreement, the two slapped their hands together in promise.


    Chen Mobai had a feeling that this time Zhongli Tianyu would surpass his usual three minutes of excitement.


    For Zhongli Tianyu, there was only the last piece of the Bagua Mirror in the academy. Training his mentality in the council was indeed beneficial for him.

 Chapter 640 - Chapter 640: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _4

    Chapter 640: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _4


    After all, once he graduated, he would have plenty of time to cultivate the Thunder method and improve his cultivation level.


    Chen Mobai left the student council with ease.


    After returning to his wooden hut, he looked up, opened his Void Spirit Eye, attempted to confirm whether Meng Huang was there or not, but discovered he could only see a layer of fog.


    As a superstar, Meng Huang seemed to cherish her privacy. This villa was unexpectedly also safeguarded by a formation, which the Void Spirit Eye could not see through.


    Chen Mobai teleported to Xiao Nanshan, opened the Cloud Mist Array to see if there was anything like a message talisman, then picked up the puppet and initiated the return function.


    When he returned, he took out his phone and called Meng Huang.


    ¡°Mmm, I¡¯m here.¡±


    It seemed that Meng Huang let out a sigh of relief after answering.


    ¡°Well, wait a few minutes, I¡¯ll be right up.¡±


    After confirming with Chen Mobai, she hung up the phone. To avoid exposing his storage bag, he manipulated the puppet carrying two boxes of tea leaves and flew towards the mountaintop.


    This was his first time visiting Meng Huang since he rented this wooden hut eight years ago.


    Truthfully, it felt quite odd.


    During his freshman year, he was quite curious about the superstar Meng Huang, and even pondered whether he could become friends with her.


    However, due to his busy studies and his own efforts to obtain Foundation Building Pills, they didn¡¯t have much of an opportunity to get to know each other, and they never saw each other again.


    It was only after he established his own foundation that he added Meng Huang¡¯s contact information during an accidental encounter on his way to school.


    Likewise, because Meng Huang¡¯s voice was beneficial to his cultivation of the Divine Manipulation Technique, thanks to his own initiative, their relationship had somewhat improved.


    But for some reason or another¡­ they lost contact again!


    All Chen Mobai could remember were these interactions with Meng Huang.


    The mountain where they lived was not high, so Chen Mobai, along with the Puppet, arrived in no time.


    In the center of the mountaintop was Meng Huang¡¯s little villa.


    Before the two-story building was a vast flower sea. A green lawn path cut through it, and around it were clusters of Spirit Pines. A small stream that carried the scent of pines, flowers, and grass flowed around half of the mountain.


    But in this beautiful scenery, a beautiful girl commanded Chen Mobai¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Here.¡±


    Chen Mobai was originally going to land at the main entrance and walk in, but Meng Huang, standing on the balcony of the second floor, waved to him, so he flew straight towards her.


    Meng Huang¡¯s hands were perched on top of the balcony¡¯s glass railing, supporting her fair, delicate chin. Her long dress swayed lightly with the mountain wind, outlining her slender and graceful figure, which was attractive and charming.


    Looking down from the air, Chen Mobai had Meng Huang as the center of his gaze, which extended to the mountains, flowers, green pines, and green leaves that surrounded them, forming a beautiful picture.


    He couldn¡¯t help taking out his phone and capturing this moment.


    ¡°It¡¯s really beautiful.¡±


    After Chen Mobai flew to Meng Huang¡¯s side, he showed her the photo he took on his phone. Indeed, the composition was perfect; the girl and the surrounding scenery blended perfectly, with her at the center.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Upon seeing the photo, Meng Huang lowered her head, her face slightly reddened.


    ¡°This is Snow Needle Spiritual Tea, which, if consumed regularly, can clear the mind and enhance understanding.¡±


    Chen Mobai, using the puppet beside him, placed the two boxes of tea on the delicate glass table on the balcony, for which Meng Huang thanked him again.


    ¡°After your failed Foundation Establishment, I actually wanted to comfort you, but I didn¡¯t know how to initiate the conversation.¡±


    The two of them sat on the small couch on the balcony. Chen Mobai looked regretful.


    ¡°After my failed Foundation Establishment, I just wanted to hide far away. If you tried to comfort me, it might have made me feel even worse.¡±


    Meng Huang responded understandingly. After her unsuccessful bold attempt at Foundation Establishment, she had switched off her phone and staggered her healing with periods of solitude, which lasted half a year.


    At that time, she was utterly dispirited, not wanting to entertain anyone.


    It was only as time went on and she started to come to terms with her circumstances, that she emerged from her seclusion.


    ¡°Luckily, I have the puppet given by Master Car, it cannot improve your Foundation Establishment probability, but it can help you identify and remedy flaws by simulating your cultivation technique¡¯s Foundation Establishment scenario.¡±


    All the students at Dance Tool Dao Academy can use the puppet once. Meng Huang had used it during her first Foundation Establishment.


    It was because that simulation showed her successfully establishing her foundation that she daringly decided to take the three treasures of Foundation Establishment even without comprehending the critical point law.


    ¡°The puppet is just a puppet, after all, it only has two options; if your success rate of Foundation Establishment is over 50%, it will show successful Foundation Establishment. The main point is to check if there are any defects or loopholes in the cultivation of your cultivation technique.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After hearing Meng Huang complain, Chen Mobai explained the puppet¡¯s operating mechanism and principle with a smile.


    But the probability of Foundation Establishment, in essence, was never 100%, it could only offer some solace.


    Even if you comprehend the critical point law, there would still be a possibility of failure. The only difference was that the critical point law could pause the process of Foundation Establishment, allowing cultivators unlimited attempts to explore and learn from their mistakes.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you. I just recently queued up for the Foundation Establishment Baos¡¯s simulation opportunity, and it showed that my probability of successful Foundation Establishment this time is only 46%, which is even lower than the first time.¡±


    Between Meng Huang¡¯s words, she pulled up a screenshot of the Foundation Establishment Bao on her phone.

 Chapter 641 - Chapter 641: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _5

    Chapter 641: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _5


    As a major celebrity, she exerted some power, enough to cut the line in using fundamental establishment resources.


    After checking out her interface, Chen Mobai noticed she had selected three Foundation Establishment treasures, Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, Jade Marrow Pill, Spiritual Artifact Foundation Establishment Technique, and also filled in about her last foundation establishment attempt. Among them was even the Method of Spiritual Power Vortex.


    Despite such preparation, Meng Huang still failed in the step of Condensing Qi into Liquid during her last performance, managing to condense only five drops of Liquid Spiritual Power.


    This also implied that she had theoretically completed the first step of Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, and the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid and Jade Marrow Pill would have hardly any effect on her.


    ¡°If you attempt foundation establishment again, you will be able to easily complete the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow stage without hindrance, requiring only a Vein Protection Pill.¡±


    It would be a waste to use Profound Fire Spirit Liquid and Jade Marrow Pill, Chen Mobai implied without really saying it.


    ¡°I¡¯m not confident, and besides, eating more has no harm.¡±


    Meng Huang shared her inner thoughts. Although the Sect encourages no waste, they still treated someone of her special talent more leniently.


    ¡°True, but your key problem still lies in the Condensing Qi into Liquid stage. Given your voice can enhance our Divine Sense, you should be able to pass the barrier of Divine Sense easily with your many years of exposure.¡±


    However, Chen Mobai took it for granted. Upon hearing this, Meng Huang pouted, looking wronged.


    ¡°My voice is beneficial to everyone but myself. Only the Heartstring Mystical Sound emanating from my entire body during breakthroughs can benefit me.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai could not help but feel surprised. No wonder she hasn¡¯t managed to establish her foundation with all her aptitude. Turns out she was immune to her own voice.


    ¡°What is Heartstring Mystical Sound?¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    Chen Mobai asked again, thinking that if it could be useful to Meng Huang, it would be even more useful to him.


    ¡°The Mystic Sound Method I cultivate has various accompanying emotional sounds. When played with the heart, it can initiate resonance from the apertures in a person¡¯s body, transforming into mystic sounds that refine the spirit. These are the ¡®Heartstring Mystical Sounds¡¯.¡±


    Upon hearing this explanation, Chen Mobai finally understood. No wonder they felt thoroughly cleansed and refreshed after listening to Meng Huang¡¯s songs. It was the resonance from their own apertures, playing the chord that suited them the most.


    These Heartstring Mystical Sounds require the performer to infuse their heart¡¯s power and spiritual power, and hence is most effective when listened to live.


    ¡°How can your Heartstring Mystic Sound be induced then?¡±


    Chen Mobai further queried, and Meng Huang answered that whenever she was breaking through a realm, her Mystic Sound Method would spontaneously trigger the Heavenly Music which in turn would cleanse her spirit.


    ¡°What is the Heavenly Music?¡±


    Chen Mobai, the kind to ask questions when he did not understand, had Meng Huang explaining every point with her fingers coiled like tender spring onions.


    ¡°Music can be divided into Heavenly Music, Earthly Music, and Human Music. Heavenly Music is the sound emitted from the operation of natural laws and the vast universe, reflecting the laws of Dao. The Shocking God Sonata of our Sect performs the Heavenly Music, allowing listeners to hear Dao.¡±


    ¡°Earthly Music is the resonance caused by everything in the world, a frequency that suits their existence. Destroy this frequency, and it can be shattered. This is the attack method of us music cultivators.¡±


    ¡°And Human Music is the resonating sound of a person¡¯s own meridian points, bones etc. What my Heartstring Mystical Sound triggers is this. In this state, anyone can possess the most perfect spiritual cultivation, doubling their cultivation efficiency and even potentially induce a mystical state of Enlightenment!¡±


    Chen Mobai was astounded upon hearing this.


    So, the Enlightenment during Foundation Establishment was also a Human Music, meaning Meng Huang could aid others in the fundamental establishment.


    ¡°After my foundation establishment, a song performed wholeheartedly on average can improve the Foundation Establishment chance of Qi Practitioners by 5%.¡±


    Since everyone¡¯s Human Music is different, Meng Huang can only do her best to trigger resonance with her voice. Based on historic data, this average percentage is 5%.


    But this was already quite impressive. She was like a living, endless source of Foundation Establishment treasure.


    ¡°Hasn¡¯t Jiang Yuyuan established his foundation? If he plays a dance for you, would that be of any help?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, but Meng Huang just shook her head bitterly.


    ¡°Those of us who cultivate the Mystic Sound Method are immune to each other¡¯s sounds. The only thing useful to us is the Heavenly Music.¡±


    This was precisely why in the Sect, cultivators who could afford to, would generally not choose to cultivate the Mystic Sound Method.


    Because this path was simply too unfriendly to the cultivator itself.


    The Mystic Sound Method was a Cultivation Technique that involved sacrificing oneself for others.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I think it would still be possible for you to change your Cultivation Technique before establishing Foundation.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but speak his mind.


    ¡°However, the Mystic Sound Method allows me to play the Shocking God Sonata, which, once performed, offers a chance for us to understand the Mysteries of the Spirit Transforming through the mystical sounds.¡±


    Shaking her head, Meng Huang mentioned the only use of the Mystic Sound Method.


    In the history of the Sect, there was an era with the most dazzling brilliance when four Divinity Transformation cultivators were born within a short hundred years.


    Among the four, three were listeners and one a performer, all owing their success to the Shocking God Sonata.

 Chapter 642 - Chapter 642: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _6

    Chapter 642: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _6


    The very first who achieved Divinity Transformation was this performer.


    After the Song of Shocking God was played, his heart and mind closely followed the path of heavenly music. His body hum was harmonious with the melody of the heavens, and he had merged with the way. In less than a hundred years, he had ascended from Nascent Soul¡¯s initial stage to the completion of the Way of God Transformation, and he was the fastest to become divinity in the Immortal¡¯s Gate.


    Therefore, although the Mystic Sound Method is a sacrifice for cultivators, these sacrifices could potentially lead to final transcendence. With infinite divine sense released as though a fluttering butterfly, traveling in the waves of the music of the path, always remaining in the state of Enlightenment.


    For this reason, there are still quite a few cultivators within the Immortal¡¯s Gate studying the Mystic Sound Method. They hope that one day they will be able to rewrite the Song of Shocking God again.


    ¡°The choices I made are always correct.¡±


    Reflecting on this, Chen Mobai was able to encourage Meng Huang in the same way.


    Next, he initiated the formless mannequin, but he still needed Meng Huang to provide the most detailed body data.


    ¡°Here is my medical report from a check-up I underwent last year. However, the human body is constantly undergoing subtle changes. I think maybe I should go for another check-up at the hospital.¡±


    In striving for perfection, Meng Huang was about to stand up. Chen Mobai promptly stopped her and took out his Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.


    ¡°What I have here is made in imitation of the Principal¡¯s Soulful Mirror. It has this feature. If you don¡¯t mind, I can help you scan.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Meng Huang¡¯s face turned slightly red. As a normal-minded girl, she thought it was appropriate to blush at this time, showing her embarrassment.


    ¡°Should I stand up?¡±


    After a pause, Meng Huang spoke up first.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    ¡°No need. You can sit. Just don¡¯t cross your legs.¡±


    Chen Mobai immediately instructed Meng Huang, who was sitting on the opposite sofa. After her right leg, which had been crossed over the other, was placed down, her slender and evenly proportioned legs were straightened under the skirt, like a fine piece of ivory art.


    The scan of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror was done in no time. Chen Mobai took a glance and marveled at the perfection of her body proportions. However, he didn¡¯t show any change in expression but quickly transferred Meng Huang¡¯s body data and the entire downloaded Mystic Sound Method into the formless mannequin.


    ¡°I¡¯m starting now. You should record it carefully. Any parts you don¡¯t understand, we can discuss later.¡±


    Meng Huang nodded nervously, and Chen Mobai started the process of Foundation Establishment deduction as if it was second nature to him.


    The facts proved that the Foundation Treasure had no issues, but this Foundation Establishment deduction failed, indicating that the success rate was less than 50%.


    ¡°So, it still doesn¡¯t work!¡±


    Seeing the result, Meng Huang¡¯s face was filled with disappointment.


    Chen Mobai discussed the process of performing the Mystic Sound Method with her and found that there were essentially no problems. After all, as a key development target, she wasn¡¯t lacking in mentorship.


    Chen Mobai stopped the operation of the formless mannequin and could only offer gentle advice.


    ¡°Senior sister, maybe you should wait a little longer. After all, you have one more year. Maybe you will comprehend the threshold technique.¡±


    Meng Huang was one grade higher than Chen Mobai. Next year, Chen Mobai would be in ninth grade, while she would be a tenth-grader. This was indeed her last chance.


    If she still could not succeed in the Foundation Establishment, she could only get married or serve in the military.


    However, as a seed of the Song of Shocking God, Chen Mobai believed that the Immortal¡¯s Gate would give her a few more years of time. After all, the Mystic Sound Method was of great significance to the masses of the Immortal¡¯s Gate.


    ¡°Junior brother, actually there is a skill that I didn¡¯t select on the Foundation Treasure. If it were added, the success rate could be significantly increased.¡±


    At this moment, Meng Huang gritted her teeth and said something surprising.


    ¡°Oh? May I ask what it is?¡±


    ¡°I have a skill of Equaling Heaven Art. It is to borrow the auspicious Qi luck of a Great Qi Luck Holder to enhance my own luck in a short period of time. After using this technique, during the Foundation Establishment, I will get great fortune all the way to heaven and everything will go smoothly.¡±


    ¡°There is such a technique in the Immortal¡¯s Gate!?¡±


    This was the first time Chen Mobai heard of this ¡°Equaling Heaven Art¡±, and he couldn¡¯t help but show a look of surprise.


    Immediately, he realized why Meng Huang told him this.


    ¡°Senior sister, do you mean¡­¡±


    ¡°Correct, junior brother. As the top student of the Daoist Academy, your natural talent and speed of cultivation are both top-notch in the Immortal¡¯s Gate. Definitely, you are a Great Qi Luck Holder, or perhaps even a legendary protagonist. If you are willing to temporarily lend your Qi luck to me at the time of my Foundation Establishment, I believe that I can overcome this difficulty.¡±


    Since Meng Huang had already opened her mouth, she didn¡¯t hesitate. She stated all her plans in one go.


    ¡°Senior sister, I think this talk of Qi luck is unreliable. Cultivators from the Immortal¡¯s Gate should always be materialistic.¡±


    Among the Immortal¡¯s Gate, most cultivators believe that attainable power and realms are the most practical existence, while the so-called luck and fortune are feudal superstitions.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Having received the most orthodox education at Immortal¡¯s Gate since a young age, Chen Mobai used to believe in power and realms, too.


    However, after obtaining the Turtle Treasure, his perspective slightly changed. He thought that luck sometimes is crucial, too.


    Yet, in front of Meng Huang, he pretended not to believe in Qi luck.


    Because he didn¡¯t want to lend his Qi luck to Meng Huang. Who knew if this ¡°Equaling Heaven Art¡± had any after-effects, or whether he could get his Qi luck back once it was lent out?


    ¡°Junior brother, we can be honest with each other. Before performing the Equaling Heaven Art, we can agree to a mutual Dao contract, and you can propose any conditions.¡±

 Chapter 643 - Chapter 643: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _7

    Chapter 643: Chapter 405 Trading with Meng Huang (12k) _7


    After Meng Huang spoke openly, she felt as if she had pierced the cover of her own heart and began to talk openly about the transaction.


    ¡°Senior sister, I really have no other demands of you.¡±


    Since Meng Huang had said so, Chen Mobai honestly expressed his own thoughts.


    Although listening to her Heartstring Mystical Sound helped him with his Divine Sense in various ways, Chen Mobai felt that this was not worth letting Meng Huang apply the Equaling Heaven Art on him.


    ¡°If I reach the Foundation Establishment, the Mystic Sound Method can draw a thread of the heaven¡¯s melody to act upon myself. Although I am the only one who can hear it, I can play it through the Heartstring Mystical Sound, which is very beneficial to you. It is said to be particularly useful for breaking through the bottleneck of Divine Sense.¡±


    Meng Huang gave her first condition.


    However, she felt that this would probably not be very attractive to Chen Mobai, given that he is a real genius. Any bottleneck for him would not last long, and he might not encounter any Divine Sense bottleneck at all.


    But after hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes lit up.


    This Rank-6 Foundation Establishment bottleneck had troubled him for a full year.


    Since consuming the Enlightenment Tea, he had tried various methods, whether through meditative sitting or using external objects, and had almost finished the drink made from the Rank-3 Snow Needle Immortal Bud, but still couldn¡¯t break through.


    However, Chen Mobai was mentally prepared for this as he knew he wasn¡¯t a genius and it was normal to encounter a bottleneck.


    He even felt that if he could break through this Divine Sense bottleneck before graduation, that would already be acceptable.


    But now Meng Huang said that she could actually help him if she successfully reached Foundation Establishment.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Chen Mobai suddenly felt that if he set all kinds of limitations in advance to ensure that he would not fail to pay back and would not have any after-effects, this Equaling Heaven Art might be worth considering.


    ¡°And every time I break through a minor realm, the Heartstring Mystical Sound plays to its most intense beat. When I break through from rank-1 to rank-9 of Foundation Establishment, you can be by my side the entire time, which can greatly enhance your divine sense.¡±


    Chen Mobai remained silent for a long time, and Meng Huang thought that the first condition was not very useful for a genius like him. She gritted her teeth and put forward her second bargaining chip.


    To her, this was almost equivalent to offering her youth during her Foundation Establishment period.


    ¡°I need to go back and consider it carefully.¡±


    After hearing these two conditions, Chen Mobai almost couldn¡¯t resist agreeing. Fortunately, he willed himself to resist the temptation and felt that it would be safer to go back and check the relevant information, or consult with Che Yucheng.


    ¡°If that¡¯s still not enough, I have a final condition.¡±


    Meng Huang knew that the previous two conditions were not attractive enough for a genius like Chen Mobai.


    After all, even without her, this chief will eventually complete his Foundation Establishment and may even reach the Core Formation. Even this seemingly impassable barrier will probably only delay an exceptional person like him for sixty years at most.


    So she gritted her teeth and offered her last and most precious offer.


    ¡°When I reach Perfection of Foundation Establishment, I can cultivate the Mysterious Sound Wonderful Body and trigger the process of Core Formation. I can attract the heavenly melody. If you are with me at that time, you can listen to the trajectory of the Dao¡¯s sound through my body in its most intense state.¡±


    ¡°Prevailing records state that Foundation Establishment cultivators have the opportunity to break through the Great Realm bottleneck by listening to the Dao¡¯s sound trajectory and opening the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion to the level of Core Formation.¡±


    ¡°If you agree to the Dao Heart Pact with me, I am willing to offer this as well.¡±


    As she said this, Meng Huang¡¯s face became completely calm. She had no other emotions at this moment and only wanted to hurdle over Foundation Establishment.


    Furthermore, if they combined forces, she might be able to break through the Great Realm bottleneck of the Divine Sense with the help of Chen Mobai¡¯s pure Yuan Yang during Foundation Establishment. This would be a case of mutual concession, helping each other out.


    ¡°Senior sister, your words are too shocking. My naive heart can¡¯t quite bear them.¡±


    Upon hearing Meng Huang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel embarrassed for her dedication to the way of cultivation.


    As a pure young man, hearing these words and looking at the beautiful woman standing before him, with her fair skin and slender body, his previously innocent thoughts inevitably drifted to somewhat inappropriate imaginings.


    ¡°These are the only conditions I can offer. If you¡¯re willing, we can make a vow of commitment here and now. If you¡¯re not, please at least leave me some dignity and promise to keep what I said today between us, alright?¡±


    A bitter look crossed Meng Huang¡¯s refined face. Hearing her helpless words and meeting her vulnerable gaze, Chen Mobai finally couldn¡¯t resist.


    ¡°Ah, having said all that, how can I possibly refuse?¡±


    The second he spoke these words, an enchanting glow blossomed within Meng Huang¡¯s initially mournful eyes, shining as if the sun had finally broken through the long-lasting gloomy clouds. Her beauty was stunning.


    ¡°Let¡¯s discuss the terms of the contract then.¡±


    Meng Huang¡¯s externally calm demeanor finally broke. It took all the courage she had to say what she did today.


    Now that she¡¯d received positive confirmation, she was suddenly overcome with unutterable shyness.


    This wasn¡¯t the feigned blush she¡¯d been sporting. This was genuine embarrassment.


    The thought of revealing her true self to the stunning young man in front of her caused all the shame and trembling she thought she could handle to come rushing back, turning her whole body as red as beetroot.


    [Keep calm, this is just a straightforward exchange. We each need something from the other. For the sake of Ascending to become Immortals, all these sacrifices are worthwhile.]


    Meng Huang kept repeating this to herself, reminding herself to stay calm. Looking at the youth in front of her, there¡¯s a possibility that he might become the leader of the immortals if he successfully forms his Nascent Soul.


    She was just selling her most precious resources to the best bidder.


    As of now, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t yet graduated. If he became more familiar with the temptations of the path to immortality, he might overlook the conditions Meng Huang was offering.


    This young man could become her greatest ally in the next few hundred years.


    Meng Huang managed to regain her composure by inwardly chanting that this was merely a transaction.


    She took out a prepared piece of paper with her proposed three conditions and various details about the Equaling Heaven Art. It also included her life assurance that the technique wouldn¡¯t inflict any future impact on Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation path.


    Chen Mobai returned to his senses and inwardly cursed himself for giving in to the temptation.


    However, if he backed out now, he feared that Meng Huang might take her own life out of shame. Besides, this arrangement wasn¡¯t detrimental to him in any way.

    Nevertheless, he still scrutinized every word and underlined certain clauses he found inappropriate.


    By the time both of them agreed on the terms of the contract, the sun had almost set.


    ¡°This place really does have the best view of the entire mountain.¡±


    Chen Mobai stood on the balcony, looking at the lingering glow of the sunset. The faint yellow hue cast upon Meng Huang¡¯s flawless, snow-white face was an enchanting sight. Unable to resist, he reached out his hand to grip her right hand resting on the glass rail.


    Meng Huang quivered!

    Chapter 644: Chapter 406 Great Satisfaction (8k)_1


    Meng Huang quivered and, unable to suppress her body¡¯s instinct, withdrew her hand.


    Chen Mobai did not grip it tightly either, sensing that his action had been somewhat impulsive.


    Having just reached an agreement with Meng Huang, he suddenly felt as if he owned this big star. Under the beautiful sunset, he was somewhat carried away.


    ¡°When are you planning on initiating the Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Chen Mobai was the first to speak, breaking the silence.


    ¡°After the finals, I have already booked a room in building nine with the highest-ranking Spiritual Energy. I will go there first, and you should get a room as cover. Come to my room at night, I¡¯ll let you in.¡±


    Upon hearing Meng Huang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai felt a subtle thrill inside him.


    Perhaps all men experience these feelings when they engage in clandestine activities.


    However, both of them were high-profile figures within the Daoist Academy, and if people saw them checking into a room together, it would undoubtedly cause a great stir. Hence, Meng Huang¡¯s consideration is extremely thoughtful.


    ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll do as you said. Also, what should I prepare if I were to implement the Equaling Heaven Art?¡±


    Having confirmed the time of Meng Huang¡¯s Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai proceeded to ask another key question.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to prepare anything, I¡¯ve already asked someone to draw the Talisman for the Equaling Heaven Art, and we can simply inject spiritual power to activate it.¡±


    Meng Huang¡¯s response sparked a deep interest in Chen Mobai. As a Rank-2 Talisman Master of the Immortal School, he was quite curious about this unheard-of method of transforming a spell into a Talisman.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    ¡°May I look at this Talisman?¡±


    ¡°The Talisman-Maker is still working on it; they promised to send it to me two days before my Foundation Establishment. That¡¯s why I scheduled it at that time.¡±


    After listening to Meng Huang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was regretful. But after all, he wouldn¡¯t have to wait much longer. When the time comes, he can carefully examine it and take some photos.


    ¡°By the way, where is your ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere?¡¯ It was the original reason for my visit today.¡±


    Chen Mobai remembered the initial motive for his visit, which was digressed by Meng Huang¡¯s Equaling Heaven Art. He almost forgets that matter.


    ¡°It¡¯s in my studio. Please wait here, and I¡¯ll get it.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, watching Meng Huang¡¯s graceful silhouette enter the hall. She then opened a practice room in a corner, taking a tray out with her.


    There were five ¡®Device Nurturing Spheres¡¯ on the tray.


    ¡°I¡¯ll sketch the shapes of the Magic Artifacts within the spheres for you, and you can see which one suit you.¡±


    Chen Mobai expertly used his Void Spirit Eye to see through the five Magic Artifacts. Taking the sketchbook and pencil from Meng Huang, he used his exquisite drawing skills to vividly illustrate each Magic Artifact on the paper.


    There were guqin, pipa, jade flute, guzheng, and waist drum.


    ¡°That¡¯s why you¡¯re number one in Talismans.¡±


    Meng Huang couldn¡¯t help praising him when she saw the lifelike illustrations Chen Mobai had drawn.


    ¡°This pipa is good. I have seen it in the Map of Treasures before. It¡¯s a lower-grade Rank-2 instrument, and the previous owner was also cultivating the Mystic Sound Method.¡±


    Meng Huang had virtually studied all the music-related Magic Artifacts in the Map of Treasures in anticipation of her meeting with Chen Mobai. So, as soon as she saw the real nature of the spheres, she immediately picked her target.


    ¡°Alright then, I will wait for you in the Treasure Trove tomorrow.¡±


    Opening the ¡®Device Nurturing Sphere¡¯ requires the use of a Device Piece to trigger the fire of the Treasure Trove.


    With all matters settled, an awkward silence fell between them once again.


    Chen Mobai felt that his relationship with Meng Huang was progressing a bit too fast. He needed to go back and cool down, so he proposed to leave first.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    Meng Huang responded softly, her head lowered.


    Had Chen Mobai not been fully focusing on her, he might not have heard her at all.


    After flying off the balcony to his own wooden house, Chen Mobai suddenly slapped his head.


    Such a great opportunity, why didn¡¯t he think of asking Meng Huang to sing a solo for him!


    This has been a dream of his since the first time he learned about Meng Huang.


    It should be considered fulfilled now.


    Although he thought so, Chen Mobai still suppressed the urge to fly back. They would have plenty of opportunities to listen to Meng sing in the future, given the progress in their relationship.


    At night.


    Inside the hilltop villa.


    Meng Huang was speaking on the phone with someone: ¡°Yes, the time has been set, let¡¯s hope the Equaling Heaven Art really works.¡±


    [Don¡¯t worry. You know our reputation in this area. We have also made a vow with you to ensure that this Equaling Heaven Art will not cause after-effects to either party.]


    Meng Huang: ¡°If it weren¡¯t so, I wouldn¡¯t have agreed.¡±


    [For us, you are just a piece on the board we occasionally move. Don¡¯t take yourself too seriously.]


    After saying this, the person on the other end hung up the phone.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Meng Huang set down her phone expressionlessly.


    Although in the eyes of outsiders, she is a musical genius who could potentially play the Shocking God Sonata, in the eyes of top echelons, she is just another slightly outstanding cultivator.


    Without successful Foundation Establishment, she would soon join the rank of countless cultivators from the Immortal history who had practiced the Mystic Sound Method, and fade into history as their voices aged.


    Since she failed to establish her Foundation and learned about the Equaling Heaven Art during her national tour, she has been looking for someone to borrow luck from.


    As a big star, she has quite a few connections.

 Chapter 645 - Chapter 645: Chapter 406 Great Satisfaction (8k)_2

    Chapter 645: Chapter 406 Great Satisfaction (8k)_2


    However, the concept of Qi Luck was vague and elusive. The ancient tradition that provided the Equaling Heaven Art said that the higher a person¡¯s cultivation level, the higher their Qi Luck was.


    But she couldn¡¯t handle Core Formation Cultivators, nor did she have the capital to negotiate. Among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, she had access to many geniuses, but there were only a handful she could trust.


    After much deliberation, her only choice was to select from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    The easiest choice would naturally be her old friend Jiang Yuyuan, who had collaborated with her for ten years. But after Meng Huang failed to establish her Foundation, she wanted to make the best out of this new attempt. She wanted to find someone who was blessed with great fortune and had an overwhelming Qi luck.


    She looked through her circle of friends and found the most dazzling person in the Immortal Gate in the past two years.


    If it were him, he should be a Great Qi Luck Holder.


    He dominated the Little Red Sky and remained undefeated through countless battles.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s dominance at the same realm was almost on par with Lan Haitian.


    He was practically the protagonist of this era.


    But at that time, Meng Huang was still hesitating and hadn¡¯t made up her mind. After all, she had to give it her all to seize this opportunity, so she had to be extremely cautious about the object of the Equaling Heaven Art.


    Later, news from Jumang Daoist Academy came that Chen Mobai had swept the top ten academies of the four major daoist institutions.


    Meng Huang initially thought it was a normal beatdown like in the Little Red Sky until she saw the list of Chen Mobai¡¯s opponents.


    Pei Qingshuang, Wen Renxuewei, Xiahou Weihuan, Qi Huanzhi, Lou Fengcheng¡­


    wuxiaworld.site


    Without exception, all of them were the top prodigies in the Foundation Establishment Realm of the Immortal Gate, the most powerful graduates of the Daoist Academy in the Foundation Building Realm in this sexagenary cycle.


    It could be said that excluding Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai had swept all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Immortal Gate.


    Many even believed that if Lan Haitian had not just achieved Core Formation, he would have been defeated had he encountered Chen Mobai.


    If Lan Haitian gave people a vision of Nascent Soul Formation, then Chen Mobai, with the talent he displayed at the Foundation Establishment Realm, was already at the Deity Transformation Level.


    This man must be a Great Qi Luck Holder!


    From that point on, Meng Huang made up her mind to choose Chen Mobai as the object for her Equaling Heaven Art!


    But to her surprise, the message she sent was like a stone sinking into the sea, there was no response from Chen Mobai at all.


    She gritted her teeth, deciding to wait a little longer.


    However, the wait turned out to be nearly a whole semester.


    Chen Mobai did not only not reply to her message, but he also barely appeared in the Daoist Academy.


    On the rare occasion that he did show up, he left abruptly as soon as he arrived.


    Seeing the semester come to an end and realizing she only had one year left, Meng Huang finally couldn¡¯t sit still any longer. She began actively visiting the student union under the pretense of consulting the Map of Treasures.


    She knew the responsibilities of the student union, and at the end of the semester, Chen Mobai, as chairman, had to preside over it anyway.


    Especially with Zhongli Tianyu, the successor, having run away.


    Meng Huang guessed right. Today she ¡°accidentally¡± ran into Chen Mobai while strolling in the student union. According to the script she had rehearsed countless times in her mind, she was thinking of how to naturally find a chance to have a private conversation with him.


    Before she could speak, Chen Mobai proposed visiting her directly.


    This left Meng Huang overjoyed. But she restrained her inner exhilaration, and without any reluctance, she immediately agreed.


    Then came today¡¯s transaction.


    Thinking about the specific content, Meng Huang¡¯s pretty face turned red again.


    At that time, for the purpose of Foundation Establishment, she put everything at stake, so she didn¡¯t care about those embarrassing emotions. But now that she reflected on it carefully, she admired her own courage.


    This time, it will be successful!


    With that thought, Meng Huang, hoping for successful Foundation Establishment, walked to the window and looked towards the small, lit cottage at the foot of the mountain.


    The next day.


    Chen Mobai woke up from meditation, put the dried-up Spirit Stone in his storage bag, and picked up the mobile phone at his feet.


    Meng Huang: [What time should I come over?]


    Chen Mobai looked at the timing of this message ¨C it was sent at five o¡¯clock in the morning. He didn¡¯t expect her to have the habit of getting up early.


    [Come in the afternoon. I need to deal with some things in the morning, including having a couple of bouts with Zhongli Tianyu in the Little Red Sky.]


    Seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s reply, Meng Huang, who hadn¡¯t slept all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Remembering her past interactions with Chen Mobai, she felt a bit reactionary.


    She deeply feared that this guy wouldn¡¯t reply to her message for another year or so.


    So after seeing Chen Mobai¡¯s reply, her anxiety, which had lasted for over an hour, finally eased up.


    However, she soon gritted her teeth in slight frustration.


    She actually had to wait until the afternoon!


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But since she needed Chen Mobai¡¯s help, she had no choice but to send a smiling emoji back, signaling ¡°okay¡±.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t think much of it.


    When committing to a promise, there is a first-come-first-served rule, and he had already promised Zhongli Tianyu yesterday that he would help him master the Bagua Immortal Thunder, so naturally, he wouldn¡¯t break his word.


    He originally thought of using a Short Teleportation Talisman to transport himself directly to the student union, but he suddenly wanted to revisit the feeling of walking to the Daoist Academy, and incidentally, check out the new juniors in the Daoist Academy.


    However, going on his own would be a bit boring.

 Chapter 646 - Chapter 646: 406

    Chapter 646: 406


    Meng Huang was planning to take advantage of the morning to rest and ensure her condition was perfect for when she opened the ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡± in the afternoon. However, she saw that Chen Mobai had actually called her.


    ¡°School sister, shall we go to school together?¡±


    After a moment of silence, Meng Huang thought a lot, but ultimately responded with just one word.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    On the mountain road, Chen Mobai waited for a while before he saw Meng Huang ride her floating skateboard, flying out from the balcony of the mountain top villa.


    ¡°How nostalgic!¡±


    Watching the gracefully flying young girl, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help reminiscing about the scene when the two of them first encountered each other here.


    Meng Huang seemed not to have changed at all; still wearing the same white shirt, light coat, and skinny jeans outlining her round and slender legs, perfectly presenting her impeccable body proportions.


    It seemed like she had also spotted Chen Mobai, for she twisted her slender waist slightly mid-air and descended towards him.


    Coming closer, Chen Mobai realized how she had changed from the years before.


    Her hair seems to have grown longer, the bright, black tresses reaching her waist. Together with her exceptionally pretty face, delicate makeup, and faintly red lips, she seemed more charming than before.


    More mature!


    ¡°Good Morning!¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    After Meng Huang landed, she showed Chen Mobai a dazzling smile.


    ¡°School sister, good morning.¡±


    Chen Mobai recalled the moment when he had just started school, he had felt a bit excited when he found out that Meng Huang would be his neighbor. The thought of casually meeting and laughing together with her on the way to school crossed his mind more than once.


    The dreamy scene he had imagined in the past had once again become a reality today.


    All sorts of indescribable joy made Chen Mobai feel an unprecedented sense of complete satisfaction.


    A crack!


    Only he heard the cracking noise in the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion. The Divine Sense bottleneck that had been plaguing Chen Mobai for nearly a year showed signs of breaking under this powerful sense of satisfaction.


    ¡°What is it? We¡¯ll be late if we don¡¯t go.¡±


    After seeing Chen Mobai standing on the mountain road, constantly staring blankly at her, Meng Huang couldn¡¯t help but laugh a little, thinking that her carefully prepared makeup and outfit had worked; she twisted her waist a bit and led the way towards Crimson Mountain on her skateboard.


    ¡°I don¡¯t mind being late, after all, it doesn¡¯t matter whether I go to class or not.¡±


    Chen Mobai felt the pulse of the Divine Sense bottleneck loosening and cracking, while also stepping out to keep pace with Meng Huang.


    This celebrity really was his lucky star.


    It seems that his success in the Divine Manipulation Technique was largely thanks to her last time.


    It also appeared that the Divine Sense bottleneck that had troubled him for a year was showing signs of breaking because of her.


    In that case, he needed to help her with the Foundation Establishment.


    Chen Mobai knew how to distinguish kindness from grudges.


    After this incident, he felt that she should be assisted with the Equaling Heaven Art, even if Meng Huang didn¡¯t have those conditions.


    But they agreed upon the contract last night, each making a Daoist oath.


    [Never mind, not to think about these irrelevant things, I should help her establish foundation first.]


    Chen Mobai shook his head, and after emptying his thoughts, he walked together with Meng Huang on the morning mountain road.


    In the woods, the chirping of birds and the clear dew falling from lush leaves, accompanied by the scent of fresh grass, Meng Huang couldn¡¯t help humming a pleasant tune.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know what she was humming, but he felt his mind was refreshing, and an unprecedented tingling sensation rose in his heart.


    What a beautiful melody!


    He decided never to use the Short Teleportation Talisman to go to the student council from now on.


    This is what it means to go to school!


    However, even if the road was long, it had an end. Especially considering their residence was in the Crimson Mountain range, which was relatively close to the Daoist Academy.


    Even though they intentionally slowed down, they still arrived at the steps of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Does the school sister have any classes this morning?¡±


    Chen Mobai talked with Meng Huang while walking towards the academy on the mountain. As a cultivator who was at the foundation establishment stage, he didn¡¯t need to attend classes regularly, only required not to be absent at the final exams.


    ¡°Me? No class in the morning!¡±


    Meng Huang¡¯s words stunned Chen Mobai for a second.


    ¡°No class? If you don¡¯t have classes, why come to school? With this extra time, it would be better for you to meditate and practice Qi Cultivation. The key to successful Foundation Establishment lies in these normal persistences and tiny details¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai sincerely hoped for Meng Huang¡¯s success in Foundation Establishment, thus seeing her wasting time like this, he couldn¡¯t help but give some advice, feeling like she was a prodigal.


    Meng Huang¡¯s hands couldn¡¯t help clench into fists behind her back, but she still restrained her strong emotions, squeezed out a smile, and acted as if she was accepting instruction, nodding continuously.


    [You better not ask me for any favor in the future!]

    After the scolding, Chen Mobai saw that Meng Huang seemed to be listening, and stopped with satisfaction.


    ¡°Then accompany me to the student council. You can watch the Magic Duel between me and Zhongli Tianyu and glimpse the peak powers at the Foundation Establishment stage in advance.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words were not boastful, but the truth.


    After Zhongli Tianyu mastered the Eight Diagrams Immortal Lightning technique, his strength was so strong that he probably just ranked behind a few people on the Foundation List of Jumang Daoist Academy during his Foundation Establishment stage.


    Of course, he was still somewhat inferior when encountering Chen Mobai.

 Chapter 647 - Chapter 647: Chapter 406 Great Satisfaction (8k)_4

    Chapter 647: Chapter 406 Great Satisfaction (8k)_4


    Within the Student Council¡­


    Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu each logged onto Little Red Sky. Under the watchful eyes of Zhuang Jialan, Meng Huang, and others, with effortless ease, Chen Mobai used the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, instantly killing Zhongli Tianyu with just one move.


    ¡°That¡¯s not fair, didn¡¯t we agree to limit our battling power and go easy on each other?¡±


    After being instantly killed in the first round, Zhongli Tianyu couldn¡¯t help but voice his accusations.


    ¡°I did go easy on you, and besides, my realm is only at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, a lot lower than yours. It¡¯s not my fault that you can¡¯t take a beating.¡±


    Chen Mobai argued that he had kept his promise and had not used his Thousand Swords Dharma Body.


    ¡°Fucking hell! Using the Flame Explosion Technique to trigger Sword Sha right at the start, even a Core Formation master would get injured if caught off guard. Do you have no shame?!¡±


    Anger made Zhongli Tianyu quiver all over. Completely forgetting the beating he received the previous day, he jumped up, shouting curses at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Alright, fine. I won¡¯t use the Flame Explosion Technique. Is that okay?¡±


    After some thought, Chen Mobai felt he might have been a bit too harsh. His move would have been too much for even Pei Qingshuang, who wields the Qing Shuang Sword, to handle, let alone Zhongli Tianyu.


    However, this kid dared to shout insults at him. He¡¯d have to teach him a lesson, using a different method.


    Petty thoughts like these filled Chen Mobai¡¯s mind. He then accepted Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s invitation for a rematch.


    After they both entered the custom Magic Duel room, Chen Mobai raised his right hand, his five fingers radiated with the sharply defined Sword Sha of five different colors.


    wuxiaworld.site


    He hadn¡¯t tested the power of the Five Elements Finger Techniques without using the Thousand Swords Dharma Body yet.


    Moving as per his thoughts, Chen Mobai firmly confined the Five Elements Sword Sha within his fingertips, not allowing any to leak out.


    It was as if he had mastered an advanced body refining technique. Using the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape, he instantly blinked to Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s side and gently gripped the air in front of him.


    Clad in the Bagua Fairy Thunder Robe, thinking he was invincible, Zhongli Tianyu let Chen Mobai¡¯s five fingers touch his chest without any guard up.


    Then he felt five sensations ¨C cold, hot, sharp, gentle, and heavy ¨C penetrating the robe made of Fairy Thunder, reaching his chest¡¯s skin through Chen Mobai¡¯s fingertips.


    Following a sudden intense chest pain, Zhongli Tianyu felt as if his heart had been grabbed and burst open. Then he once again lost consciousness and plunged into darkness.


    When he regained consciousness, he had already returned to reality due to his death.


    ¡°I protest, don¡¯t use that technique again¡­¡±


    After Zhongli Tianyu came back to his senses, he added more restrictions.


    ¡°Should I just stand there and not attack, letting you use me as a punching bag?¡±


    Chen Mobai rolled his eyes and said indignantly.


    ¡°That¡¯s not a bad idea!¡±


    Surprisingly, Zhongli Tianyu actually agreed.


    Chen Mobai, having none of this, switched to lecture mode again, chastising Zhongli Tianyu for lacking ambition, not being able to endure small setbacks, lacking drive to move forward, and not having any self-improvement spirit¡­


    Before he could finish reprimanding, Zhongli Tianyu had already dragged Chen Mobai back to the custom Magic Duel.


    ¡°Has he always been this strong?¡±


    Among those observing the match, Meng Huang couldn¡¯t help asking Zhuang Jialan who stood beside her.


    ¡°Are you talking about the President? The duel with Zhongli Tianyu doesn¡¯t even demonstrate one-tenth of his battle power.¡±


    Zhuang Jialan was one of the people who went to the Jumang Daoist Academy last year. She had witnessed every single duel where Chen Mobai cleared the field of the most talented Foundation Establishment freshmen of Daoist Academy.


    Having once seen Chen Mobai¡¯s victorious duels, she now observed his spar with Zhongli Tianyu.


    Zhuang Jialan felt their President seemed as if he were simply playing with a child.


    After hearing Zhuang Jialan¡¯s words, Meng Huang was even more convinced that Chen Mobai was the Chosen One she was after.

    If such a man were not a Great Qi Luck Holder, who else in the Immortal Sect would deserve to be?


    In the course of the morning, under Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s numerous restrictions, he eventually managed to have a matched, exhilarating battle with Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai, without using the Thousand Swords Dharma Body, Five Elements Finger Techniques, or Flame Explosion Technique and instead, relying purely on the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Primordial Yang Sword Sha, and Green Flames Sword Sha, had no way to overcome the Bagua Fairy Thunder.


    Especially when Zhongli Tianyu enveloped his whole body with the Bagua Fairy Thunder, effectively forming a defensive robe. The Yi Wood Divine Thunder attacked and got absorbed instead. While the two Sword Sha could force a small opening, the Fairy Thunder Robe was a continuous source of power that immediately patched it up, completely eradicating the Power of Sword Devil.


    In the end, the duel developed into a stance where Chen Mobai attacked, and Zhongli Tianyu defended.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough for today.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Half a day later, Chen Mobai, out of sheer boredom, didn¡¯t want to continue, so he proposed to end it with a draw.


    *Cough Cough*¡­ Alright.¡±


    After being beaten throughout the match, Zhongli Tianyu coughed up some blood and quickly agreed.


    When he removed the Bagua Fairy Thunder Robe, his body was covered with small Sword Sha wounds. Some even seemed to burn with fresh blood, emitting green smoke.


    The Power of Sword Devil was unrivaled in attack. If not for Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s extraordinary Bagua Fairy Thunder, any third-rank defensive technique would have been pierced through hundreds of times by Chen Mobai.

 Chapter 648 - Chapter 648: Chapter 406 Great Satisfaction (8k)_5

    Chapter 648: Chapter 406 Great Satisfaction (8k)_5


    Struggling to recover after exiting the Little Red Sky, Zhongli Tianyu slumped on the sofa in the office, his face pale and his breaths sharp, as if his body was overheating.


    ¡°Have some tea.¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai moved a cup of the Rank-2 Spiritual Tea he had brewed earlier over to him.


    With trembling hands, Zhongli Tianyu took the cup and downed the tea in one gulp.


    The clear and slightly cold tea flowed through Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s body, washing away the after-effects of the Magic Duel in the Little Red Sky.


    His Divine Sense showed no signs of bodily injury, and Zhongli Tianyu was soon feeling okay.


    ¡°Do we need to fight again tomorrow?¡±


    ¡°No, no, let me rest for a while.¡±


    Not a masochist, Zhongli Tianyu shook his head like a rattle drum at Chen Mobai¡¯s question, denying it outright.


    The past two fights ended quickly with him being defeated in a single move, so Zhongli Tianyu barely had any sensations at that time. But in the evenly-matched battle this time, even though he had mastered the Eight Trigrams Immortal Thunder, he was suppressed by Chen Mobai¡¯s proficient dual Sword Sha.


    Unfortunately, his Eight Trigrams Immortal Thunder Armor was quite robust in defense and could withstand the Sword Sha.


    As a result, it felt like a blunt knife cutting through meat.


    Once he regained his senses, Zhongli Tianyu wished he could slap himself.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    He could have admitted defeat earlier and avoided all this suffering.


    Zhongli Tianyu requested to leave early, saying he needed to heal his physical and mental injuries.


    Chen Mobai thought about it, and since he would be in the student council that day, he granted the leave request.


    ¡°Starting tomorrow, report here every day, understand?¡±


    While handing over the signed leave slip to Zhongli Tianyu, Chen Mobai said gently. Looking into his eyes, Zhongli Tianyu felt a burning ache in his body, and although his gaze showed defiance, his body instinctively acquiesced.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    After responding, Zhongli Tianyu huffed out of Chen Mobai¡¯s office with the leave slip.


    ¡°This kid still needs a little more refining.¡±


    Once Zhongli Tianyu left, Chen Mobai remarked sagely.


    Zhuang Jialan, who was nearby, was unfazed by this. However, Meng Huang looked at him with a face full of curiosity and admiration, greatly satisfying Chen Mobai¡¯s vanity.


    ¡°Senior sister, did you bring your Device Nurturing Sphere?¡±


    Noticing that the time was almost up, Chen Mobai brought up the matter at hand.


    Meng Huang nodded, taking out the Device Nurturing Sphere that they had decided upon the previous night from her small bag.


    With Chen Mobai overseeing and guiding, there were no issues in using the Device Piece this time.


    They ended up acquiring the Rank-2 Lower-grade Pipa Instrument.


    ¡°I¡¯m going back to familiarize myself with the Spiritual Artifact Foundation Establishment technique.¡±


    Having obtained the Magic Artifact she needed, Meng Huang couldn¡¯t wait to leave.


    ¡°Sure, if you have any questions during your cultivation, you can ask me. I can help you simulate with the Formless Opponent.¡±


    Chen Mobai had already studied the Spiritual Artifact Foundation Establishment technique the previous night. Since it derived from the Spiritual Artifact Co-cultivation Technique, and his cultivation level was high, he was able to understand it after reading through it once.


    Meng Huang nodded, and with the Pipa in hand, she turned to leave.


    However, she suddenly stopped, turned back sheepishly, and looked at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t undergone Foundation Establishment yet.¡±


    Meng Huang exclaimed coquettishly, and Chen Mobai instantly understood.


    This Treasure Trove had a unique environment, and because her cultivation level was inadequate, the Spiritual Energy in her skateboard couldn¡¯t glide this deep.


    ¡°That was careless of me.¡±


    Chen Mobai apologized and called over Zhuang Jialan to help her out.


    Suppressing her inner turmoil, Meng Huang maintained her smile, turned her head, and thanked a confused Zhuang Jialan.


    [What¡¯s the relationship between the president and her that he won¡¯t even send her off himself?]


    Despite her confusion, Zhuang Jialan obeyed the president¡¯s orders and took Meng Huang away.


    Once alone in the office, Chen Mobai began sorting out the mountains of documents on his desk, getting ready to tackle the year¡¯s tasks.


    In the days to come, he would guide Zhongli Tianyu to take over his duties while accompanying Meng Huang to the academy every day.


    However, Chen Mobai went to the student council to handle the handover procedures and started the annual Device Nurturing Sphere appraisal for earning academic credits, while Meng Huang headed to her permanent room in Building No. 9 to work hard at her cultivation, preparing for her upcoming Foundation Establishment.


    Whenever he was free at night, Chen Mobai would also go and guide her cultivation of the Spiritual Artifact Foundation Establishment technique to help her clear up doubts.


    Before he knew it, Chen Mobai¡¯s eighth-grade life at the Dance Tool Dao Academy had come to an end.


    After passing all the compulsory and elective courses with high scores, coupled with his income from appraising, the total academic credits on his student card had exceeded one hundred.


    As per usual, he exchanged his credits for Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and Vermillion Fruit, and asked Wang Xingyu to help him prepare a year¡¯s worth of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew.


    Even though his Divine Sense had hit a bottleneck and could not improve anymore, the main use of this Spirit Dew was to enhance his Void Spirit Eye.


    Over these years, Chen Mobai had been applying the Spirit Dew regularly and felt that his Void Spirit Eye was still improving, so he had no plans to stop using it.


    However, this year he didn¡¯t ask Zeng Woyou of the Alchemy Department to help with the Bamboo Fruit.


    His first apprentice, Liu Wenbo, was very capable. After he took control of the South Mountain Shop in Jianguo Market under Chen Mobai¡¯s name, he opened a branch in his hometown, Yun Country¡¯s Southstream Market.


    Chen Mobai delegated the management to the Liu family and did not interfere.


    In Yun Country, there was a sect known as the Green Bamboo Ridge, which had two cultivators who had undergone Foundation Establishment and were particularly skilled at cultivating Jade Bamboo.


    Chen Mobai had read about this in Liu Yanpei¡¯s notes in the past.


    When Liu Wenbo learned that Chen Mobai needed Bamboo Fruit, he immediately made a trip to Yun country to purchase a large amount of Bamboo Fruit from the Green Bamboo Ridge.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In addition to the Bamboo Fruit, Liu Wenbo easily amassed the other auxiliary medicines needed for making Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew through Jianguo Market.


    Chen Mobai was very satisfied with this.


    He felt that all three of his apprentices were extremely considerate.


    Once Wang Xingyu had helped concoct the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, Meng Huang also sent a message.


    The talisman for the Equaling Heaven Art had arrived.

 Chapter 649 - Chapter 649: Chapter 407 Lan Haitians reply (8k)_1

    Chapter 649: Chapter 407 Lan Haitian¡¯s reply (8k)_1


    Shortly after the charm for the ¡°Equaling Heaven Art¡± arrived, Chen Mobai immediately went to appraise it.


    ¡°The spiritual patterns of this thing are quite complex.¡±


    In the great hall of Meng Huang¡¯s little villa on the second floor, Chen Mobai seated on the couch, looked at the pale yellow charm in his hand, tracing the strokes with his fingers while feeling the traces of spiritual power in it, couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    Judging by its grade, this charm has already reached the intermediate grade of Rank-2.


    Even for him to study it, it would take some time to fully comprehend it.


    ¡°I will go and exchange the Foundation Establishment triple treasures from teacher Luo tomorrow, also prepare some spiritual objects, and formally start the Foundation Establishment the day after tomorrow.¡±


    Meng Huang, with a resolute face, made her determination. She is a decided person. When things had really come to such a juncture, she actually had no other distractions.


    ¡°That¡¯s settled, I¡¯ll also go and prepare.¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally had no objection, as it was already agreed upon.


    His Divine Sense bottleneck began showing signs of breakthrough because of Meng Huang. Even without the aid of her Heartstring Mystical Sound during the Foundation Establishment, he would likely be able to break through normally post year-end and open the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    He kept in mind the favor he owed, though Meng Huang was not aware of it.


    After taking dozens of photos of the charm for the Equaling Heaven Art, Chen Mobai took his leave.


    He went to the Daoist Academy, to borrow the specially designed Spirit Gathering Array from Yunyang Bing, which could upgrade the Rank-3 top-grade spiritual energy of the 9th building to the lower grade of Rank-4 in a short time.


    wuxiaworld.site


    After both Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua used it, they couldn¡¯t stop praising it. So, every time they were to break through a realm or overcome an obstacle, they would borrow it.


    Yunyang Bing had just returned to the Daoist Academy a few days ago. He had been mapping and surveying all over the land of Daoist Academy this past year, completing the measurement and mapping of 16 spirit veins, and he had become significantly darker.


    ¡°Although it was hard work, my study of formations improved tremendously. The remaining two years in the Daoist Academy, and even after graduation, I will persist in surveying every area within the Daoist Academy, completing the full survey of the 10,000 spirit veins.¡±


    The Daoist Academy claims to have 10,000 spirit veins, and these spirit veins supply the cultivation needs of three hundred million cultivators, so they are changing every moment.


    To avoid the exhaustion of the spirit veins, the Daoist Academy sends people to physically measure the spiritual energy storage of all spirit veins every year.


    If signs of exhaustion and inability to regenerate are detected, the extraction of spiritual energy from these spirit veins will be prohibited, and then Earth Masters will use special methods to restore the spiritual energy.


    Most of this work has been subcontracted to students of the Daoist Academy. In addition to the cheaper student labor, it is indeed also a form of cultivation.


    Many great Array Masters have had the experience of surveying the 10,000 spirit veins of the Daoist Academy. After completing the process, Array Masters will have a kind of sublimation. Some extremely talented people can even have sudden insights.


    The current dean of the Xianwu Hall of the Daoist Academy was a student from the Array Department of the Repairing Heaven Institute. After graduation, he joined the Daoist Academy¡¯s Vein Management Bureau, leading students of the Daoist Academy in the measurement of veins for decades.


    After he personally participated in the survey of the 10,000 spirit veins, he had an epiphany on the top of West Xuan Mountain and voluntarily formed a Gold Core even without the presence of a Gold Core spiritual material.


    After the Gold Core formation, he rose rapidly. Under the operation of the Repairing Heaven Institute, he successively got promoted, finally succeeded in the Nascent Soul Formation and became one of the three hall masters of the Daoist Academy.


    Clearly, Yunyang Bing plans to emulate him, or you could say that many Array Masters in the Daoist Academy idolize Hall Master Xianwu.


    ¡°If you go to Danxia city for survey work in the future, let me know in advance, I¡¯ll treat you well.¡±


    After hearing Yunyang Bing¡¯s thoughts, Chen Mobai had great respect for him.


    This is just like his wish to plant spiritual fields in Giant Tree Ridge, both have become his Daoist principles.


    If one day, he can indeed change the whole Eastern Wilderness based on his own ideas, the rewards will probably be enormous.


    After catching up with Yunyang Bing, Chen Mobai saw that it was still early, so he went to the first building.


    ¡°Luck? You are a cultivator of the Daoist Academy, how can you believe in such things?¡±


    When Chen Mobai asked Che Yucheng for advice on the matter of luck, the latter immediately shook his head after hearing it.


    The Daoist Academy here believes that luck is objective, but these are trivial to those with real ability.


    A cultivator should always gather great powers within oneself and believe in his ability to overcome Heaven¡¯s designs.


    Only those with inadequate abilities would hope for ambiguous things like luck.


    When Chen Mobai thought carefully about it, it made sense.


    It¡¯s just like those in their Metaphysical Class, all of them are exceptional talents. With their innate talent and ability, they can easily establish their foundation without needing luck.


    Luck can only be decisive when there¡¯s a fifty-fifty chance of winning.

    It¡¯s like a water droplet facing a rolling stone under a huge trend, and it is of no use at all.


    ¡°Teacher, there¡¯s a friend of mine in my hometown. She¡¯s got average spiritual root talent, and her first Foundation Establishment was unsuccessful. She got an art named Equaling Heaven from somewhere. It supposedly allows her to borrow the luck of those with great Qi, do you think it will work?¡±


    After hearing this, Che Yucheng shook his head while sipping his tea.


    ¡°From what you¡¯ve said, it sounds like the dregs of arts of ancient Daoist dynasties. It might have some use, but it¡¯s mostly for fooling people. Whether the Foundation Establishment is successful depends ultimately on oneself.¡±


    Hearing Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be shocked. Does this mean Meng Huang has been deceived?

 Chapter 650 - Chapter 650: Chapter 407 Lan Haitians reply (8k)_2

    Chapter 650: Chapter 407 Lan Haitian¡¯s reply (8k)_2


    ¡°Teacher, isn¡¯t everyone attacking the ancient sects? Why are there traces of them in the immortal gates?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Ascension Sect that has been classified as an evil force by the official Immortal Gate, some in the ancient sects seized the opportunity quickly and were allowed to spread normally in the Immortal Gate. For example, the Ruyi Gate, the Immortal Gate relies on their Primordial Heavenly Essence to handle trash and recycle Spirit Veins.¡±


    Chen Mobai also knew about the Ruyi Gate. This ancient sect refines a Primordial Heavenly Essence that can melt anything in the universe and transform it into any form of Legal Treasures.


    Previously, Ruyi Gate used it to melt elemental energy and spirit stones, but the Immortal Gate found another use for this extraordinary technique: dealing with all kinds of trash.


    This Primordial Heavenly Essence could refine anything, which made it perfect for this job.


    Some people from the Ruyi Gate felt insulted and swore to resist, which led to their extermination by the Immortal Gate.


    The remaining ones obediently helped with trash disposal. They even redirected the resulting energy streams into depleted Spirit Veins, nourishing the earth.


    Those that couldn¡¯t be recycled by the earth were used as part of their compensation for refining the Primordial Heavenly Essence, allowing them to absorb it.


    Indeed, the obedient members of the Ruyi Gate set up a waste sorting and processing company. They were receiving over 100 million Good Deed Points rewards annually from the Immortal Gate. Although it was hard work handling the trash, they were all earning pots full of money and were very content.


    ¡°The sect that studies the art of destiny seems to be a small ancient sect, known as the Azure Feather Cliff. They tend to cause a stir during the change of ancient dynasties, furthering their own cultivation.¡±


    ¡°When our Immortal Gate was first established, they saw that it would rule the Star of Earth for endless years and decided to ally themselves with us. Although they weren¡¯t of much use, they had good etiquette, so we let them join.¡±


    ¡°However, when the members of this sect were dispatched to explore the Different World, their lack of skill led them to intrude into a mysterious powerhouse¡¯s grave, resulting in the death of two Core Formation cultivators. Their status in the Immortal Gate dwindled after that. Unexpectedly, there are still successors.¡±


    After listening to Che Yucheng¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but marvel.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Some of these ancient sects were even certified by the Immortal Gate.


    To avoid future confusion, he asked Che Yucheng which ones were good and which ones were evil forces.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about the others, only the Divine Machine Mansion has something special. Initially, Qian Xing Old Ancestor was able to achieve Divinity Transformation thanks to the guidance of the Divine Machine Mansion.¡±


    ¡°However, all the members of this lineage prefer to be worldly-wise hermits and never work as officials.¡±


    ¡°But the upper echelon of the Immortal Gate all knew to treat any member of this lineage courteously if they encountered one.¡±


    Upon hearing the three words, Divine Machine Mansion, Chen Mobai nodded constantly. No wonder the girl in sunglasses was so strong, she came from a famous sect.


    He then asked about several other ancient sects. Che Yucheng told him that regardless of whether they were righteous or evil, they were all somewhat connected. The Immortal Gate was too lazy to interfere as long as they didn¡¯t break any laws.


    After all, the Ascension Sect had already hidden beyond the Star of Earth; they couldn¡¯t go chasing after them across planets.


    After listening to all this, Chen Mobai excused himself and left.


    When he got home, he hesitated for a moment but eventually decided not to tell Meng Huang about what Che Yucheng had said.


    She is now completely committed to the Equaling Heaven Art, if she knew about this, it might affect her Dao heart even before she reached Foundation Establishment.


    Moreover, Azure Feather Cliff is also a sect that has left traces in the Immortal Gate. Che Yucheng also said that the Equaling Heaven Art is somewhat useful. Perhaps she might really succeed with the help of her own destiny.


    Thinking this way, Chen Mobai sincerely hoped in his heart that Meng Huang would succeed in establishing her Foundation this time.


    He didn¡¯t disturb her for the next few days.


    When the agreed time came, he went to Building Nine and opened an ordinary Cultivation Room.


    [Come over.]


    In the evening, Chen Mobai received a text message from Meng Huang.


    Since he couldn¡¯t show his storage bag, he carried a small backpack with everything he brought with him.


    After Chen Mobai quietly climbed the stairs, he came to the door of Meng Huang¡¯s room.


    He didn¡¯t knock, but just opened the door.


    Meng Huang had already left the door open for him.


    ¡°Have you prepared all the spiritual objects needed for Foundation Establishment?¡±


    After entering, Chen Mobai saw the young girl sitting on the meditation cushion in the center of the Cultivation Room and asked first.


    ¡°Yeah, they are all here.¡±


    Meng Huang opened the small bag next to her and took out the three treasures needed for Foundation Establishment, including Profound Fire Spirit Liquid and various elixirs. Chen Mobai carefully checked them and, after confirming there were no problems, took out the Spirit Gathering Array borrowed from Yunyang Bing.


    ¡°As expected, it befits the title of the top Formation expert at the Daoist Academy in the last decade.¡±


    Meng Huang had indeed heard of Yunyang Bing¡¯s reputation. After Chen Mobai activated the Spirit Gathering Array for her to feel the increase in Spiritual Energy, she couldn¡¯t help but remark.


    Compared to the true geniuses like Chen Mobai and Yunyang Bing, she seemed so ordinary.

    While God gave her a beautiful voice, He did not give her a matching Spiritual Root or comprehension ability.


    ¡°Okay, there are no problems. I¡¯m going to lock the door now.¡±


    After the two of them confirmed all the preparations for Foundation Establishment were in order, Chen Mobai said.


    To avoid external interference, these Cultivation Rooms had strong restrictions set up by teachers of the Daoist Academy. As long as you locked the door, they would activate.


    Unless someone could uproot the entire Building Nine, there would be no disturbance to the people inside the room.

 Chapter 651 - Chapter 651: Chapter 407 Lan Haitians reply (8k)_3

    Chapter 651: Chapter 407 Lan Haitian¡¯s reply (8k)_3


    Meng Huang nodded. Chen Mobai got up and bolted the door.


    Afterwards, both of them sat facing each other in the centre of the room, their focus on the talisman of the Equaling Heaven Art.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin!¡±


    Meng Huang took a deep breath, picked up the talisman, and Chen Mobai also stretched out his hand, both of them holding it at the same time.


    ¡°You infuse it with spiritual power, I¡¯ll assist you.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s realm far surpassed Meng Huang¡¯s. With his divine sense, he could do this precisely. Following the instructions of the Equaling Heaven Art, the latter began to slowly infuse her spiritual power.


    The spiritual patterns on the talisman began to light up from her snow-white fingertips and spread to half of the talisman. On the other side, Chen Mobai¡¯s spiritual power was also fed in.


    In a short while, the spiritual patterns lit up by the two had met at the central boundary, then merged into one, igniting the entire talisman into a light form, transforming into two strands of light thread resembling rings, settling on their thumbs.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai felt an unknown connection formed between himself and the young girl in front of him. It was as if the luck that adhered to both of them had left them at this moment and began to merge above their heads.


    After an unknown period, this fused luck dispersed evenly and fell onto both of them respectively.


    ¡°We succeeded.¡±


    Meng Huang, looking at the light thread merging into her skin, leaving only a red ring mark, couldn¡¯t help but show a look of joy.


    Chen Mobai watched the red ring on his own thumb, which gradually disappeared with time.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Once it completely disappeared, it would signify the decline of the Equaling Heaven Art, and the luck he had lent out would return to him.


    ¡°You should try your best. I will protect you from the side.¡±


    Chen Mobai stood up and sat in the corner of the cultivation room. After the Equaling Heaven Art had been applied, he wasn¡¯t sure how far the effective range was, so it was best not to leave Meng Huang¡¯s side.


    Moreover, if Meng Huang were to successfully establish her foundation, he couldn¡¯t miss the Heartstring Mystical Sound.


    At the very least, it could save him several months of time and help him break through the bottleneck of divine sense in advance.


    ¡°Thanks for your effort.¡±


    After Meng Huang uttered these words, she took a moment to sit in silence, and once she confirmed that her mind, spirit, and energy were in their best state, she began to consume the foundation establishment spiritual objects according to their order.


    Because she had already completed the Change Tendons and Wash Marrow step in her first attempt at foundation establishment, this time, she reached perfection in half a day.


    Chen Mobai watched as Meng Huang¡¯s skin, originally so dazzlingly white, took on a glow like a shiny piece of jade. The Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, which had not yet been digested, flowed within her meridians. Her glowing, tender skin blushed, making her extremely charming.


    After the effortless completion of Change Tendons and Wash Marrow, the crucial step was Condensing Qi into Liquid.


    Meng Huang¡¯s previous attempt ended in failure at this step.


    The Mystic Sound Method requires the condensation of twelve droplets of liquid spiritual power. Being a middle-to-upper tier cultivation technique in the Immortal Sect, Chen Mobai felt that with Meng Huang¡¯s previous experience, coupled with his own luck, she should be able to step over this hurdle.


    At this time, Chen Mobai also activated the Spirit Gathering Array he brought, secretly crushing several spirit stones to fill the interior of the room with spiritual energy.


    With the ample supply of spiritual energy, Meng Huang managed to condense six droplets of liquid spiritual power in one go.


    Afterward, the effect of the foundation establishment spiritual object she took had worn off, necessitating the condensation of the remaining six droplets herself.


    The lute at Meng Huang¡¯s feet suddenly lit up with a crystal light, becoming a beam of constant light entering her snow-white forehead, strengthening her divine sense and helping her comprehend the Mystic Sound Method at the foundation establishment level.


    Chen Mobai watched this scene with interest as the room¡¯s spiritual energy flowed towards Meng Huang. A melody originating from the bottom of his heart echoed in his mind.


    Is this the ¡°Heartstring Mystical Sound¡±?


    Chen Mobai slowly realized that the process of foundation establishment was Meng Huang playing a tune of her own transformation with her own vitality, spirit, and energy.


    With her full effort, the Heartstring Mystical Sound was finally played, triggering her human sound to resonate throughout her body.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but close his eyes, letting his own body¡¯s orifices resonate with the Heartstring Mystical Sound. He felt that the bottleneck in his divine sense, which had originally cracked from Meng Huang¡¯s effort, began to loosen even more.


    The tiny crack began to expand, gradually widening. Then, with a pop, a corner of the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion was completely broken through.


    Chen Mobai did not let this opportunity slip. He stirred up the human sound resonance caused by Meng Huang¡¯s Heartstring Mystical Sound, flowing it into the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, and started to expand inch by inch along the broken corner.


    He didn¡¯t know how much time had passed. More than half of Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense bottleneck had been broken through. But just when he was preparing to push through all at once, he found that the Heartstring Mystical Sound from the exterior had stopped.


    Without the source of sound, his own human sound began to fade, reducing the efficiency of expanding the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion to one-tenth.


    Feeling something was wrong, Chen Mobai immediately opened his eyes.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He saw Meng Huang, her face pale and blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, fainting on the meditation mat in the center of the cultivation room.


    At her side, the lute was already broken in half, devoid of all spiritual light.


    What happened?


    Could she have failed in establishing her foundation?


    Chen Mobai was shocked at the sight. However, he dared not intervene immediately, fearing she was in the process of spiritual trascendence and any disturbance could disrupt this crucial stage.

 Chapter 652 - Chapter 652: Chapter 407 Lan Haitians reply (8k)_4

    Chapter 652: Chapter 407 Lan Haitian¡¯s reply (8k)_4


    But the way Meng Huang looks now, it¡¯s almost certain that her Foundation Establishment has failed.


    Chen Mobai grits his teeth, no longer able to concern himself with anything else at this point, and directly activates his Void Spirit Eye, looking at Meng Huang¡¯s body.


    His eyes pierce through her clothes and flesh to see the core of her. Seeing this, he doesn¡¯t dare to delay any longer. He immediately rushes to Meng Huang¡¯s side and helps her up.


    Then Chen Mobai picks up a healing pill that Meng Huang had prepared earlier, pinches her chin, and forcefully crams it into her mouth.


    As the pill enters her mouth, Meng Huang¡¯s face turns even more pale.


    Chen Mobai, activating Void Spirit Eye continuously, saw that the pill had stuck in her ¡°Twelve-Storey Building¡±.


    Not even bothering about offending her, he holds Meng Huang with his left hand. Then he places the fingers of his right hand on her long, snow-white neck, uses the Flame Lighting Technique to dissolve the pill into a warm current remotely, then uses his Divine Sense to guide the medicinal power to disperse through the blocked meridians and acupoints caused by the failure of Foundation Establishment¡­


    About fifteen minutes later, Meng Huang, who¡¯s unconscious, can¡¯t help but cough. Shortly after, she comes to, coughs up a mouthful of fresh blood, which lands on Chen Mobai¡¯s sleeve.


    ¡°You¡¯re awake.¡±


    Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t know how to console her and can only say this sentence.


    ¡°Why, I have even borrowed¡­ your¡­ Destiny, how can I¡­ still fail¡­¡±


    Meng Huang is exceptionally weak right now. It seems that she didn¡¯t give up in the end, instead gritting her teeth and trying to break through, resulting in even more severe backlashes from the failure of Foundation Establishment.


    If not for Chen Mobai¡¯s timely intervention, she would probably need at least a year of recovery.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    ¡°Perhaps my Destiny was insufficient.¡±


    Chen Mobai doesn¡¯t mention what Che Yucheng said; in this kind of situation, he still has a bit of EQ, putting the responsibility of Meng Huang¡¯s Foundation Establishment failure on himself.


    ¡°Heh¡­ hah¡­ haha¡­¡±


    But at this moment, Meng Huang¡¯s mentality has crumbled, and she starts to uncomfortably laugh, coughing up blood while laughing.


    This is a good sign, it¡¯s the congested blood in her meridians due to her failed Foundation Establishment. After she spits it out, her meridians are cleared, the spiritual power in her Dantian and Qi Sea flows freely through her body, beginning to absorb Spiritual Energy to gradually recover.


    This is the result of Chen Mobai¡¯s Void Spirit Eye observing the conditions of her injuries all over her body, then precisely utilizing the Flame Lighting Technique for massage.


    Regardless, Chen Mobai still quietly turns Meng Huang¡¯s body with his left hand so that she won¡¯t spit blood onto his clothes again.


    ¡°I knew it¡­ I should have given up. I¡­ have no talent to begin with, why should I strive to be better¡­¡±


    A look of despair crosses Meng Huang¡¯s pale face. She prepared for the Foundation Establishment process, and probably no one else in the entire cultivation world has as many conditions as her.


    But in spite of that, her Foundation Establishment still failed.


    This utterly crushed Meng Huang¡¯s already frail self-confidence.


    After she finished spitting out blood, she fell into Chen Mobai¡¯s arms and burst into tears.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Senior Sister, you still have a full year ahead.¡±


    All Chen Mobai can do is comfort her like this. After his timely treatment using the Flame Lighting Technique, Meng Huang should completely recover in a few months to about half a year.


    If she doesn¡¯t mind her severe damage, she could attempt Foundation Establishment again at the time of graduation next year.


    But even though she has so many conditions in place this time, Meng Huang still failed. There¡¯s not much hope for a third time.


    The Imperial Medical Academy has data on this.


    About sixty percent of all Cultivators who graduate from the top ten colleges are successful in their second attempt at Foundation Establishment.


    That is to say, the second time is the best opportunity for most Cultivators to establish their foundation.


    If she didn¡¯t succeed this time, Meng Huang¡¯s chances of a successful Foundation Establishment in the future would be slim.


    More so when after leaving the Daoist Academy, things like the Profound Fire Spirit Liquid and other Foundation Establishment Triad would be hard to obtain as easily as now.


    Thinking of this, Meng Huang cries even more sorrowfully.


    Unable to do anything about it, Chen Mobai can only pat her shoulder and let her cry.


    He doesn¡¯t know how long it took, but Meng Huang¡¯s crying finally stopped.


    It¡¯s lucky that Chen Mobai¡¯s own physical body is also quite sturdy; otherwise, his arm would have gone numb from fatigue long ago.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I lost control of myself.¡±


    After a good bout of crying, Meng Huang has finally calmed down. She lies in Chen Mobai¡¯s embrace, her face pale, looking delicate and tragically beautiful.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t give up until the very last moment. There¡¯s still a year¡¯s time. Perhaps you¡¯ll comprehend the threshold by then.¡±


    All Chen Mobai can do is continue to console her. Then he stands up, carrying Meng Huang towards the corner.


    Although it¡¯s called the Cultivation Room with its primary layout consisting of meditation mats, it still has a bed for resting. Chen Mobai places Meng Huang on the bed, then turns to leave.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to get the school doctor for you.¡±


    He briefly used the Flame Lighting Technique to treat Meng Huang¡¯s injuries but given that he¡¯s not a professional; after the failure of Foundation Establishment involving the three aspects of essence, energy, and spirit, she should be brought to a hospital for a full evaluation with professional equipment, to work out a dedicated recovery plan.

    As he turns to leave, Chen Mobai suddenly notices that Meng Huang is holding onto his sleeve.


    He looks down, meeting her grief-stricken, plaintive gaze.


    ¡°Can you stay with me?¡±


    ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t leave until the school doctor arrives.¡±


    Under such circumstances, Chen Mobai shows great gentlemanly courtesy. If not for his grand reputation, leading to any sightings of him in Meng Huang¡¯s room causing damage to both of their reputations, he would have even considered accompanying her to the hospital.

    Chapter 653: Chapter 407 Lan Haitian¡¯s reply (8k)_5


    In a room still faintly scented with the smell of blood, a graceful girl was lying weakly on the bed. Her white shirt was stained with patches of blood, resembling plum blossoms. Her dark long hair was spread out, strands of it stuck to her cheeks due to the fresh blood at the corner of her mouth. This made her pale oval face look even more pitiful.


    Chen Mobai stood by the window, turning his back to Meng Huang while looking outside.


    It wasn¡¯t long before he saw a flying ambulance land at the entrance of building nine. Soon after, two school doctors in white lab coats rushed out with a stretcher.


    ¡°I should leave now.¡±


    After seeing the school doctors disappear from his window view, Chen Mobai gently spoke to Meng Huang who was lying on the bed. She numbly nodded her head.


    Looking at her increasingly hollow and sorrowful eyes, Chen Mobai became a little afraid she would do something impulsive out of despair.


    ¡°Don¡¯t give up. I have a friend in the Imperial Medical Academy who once mentioned a special method to practice the original foundation of the Critical Technique, the Jade Lock Gold Barrier Secret. However, that method only works for men. I will try to find him and research if there could be a way to adapt it for you.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Meng Huang¡¯s sorrowful eyes finally showed a sliver of hope.


    Simultaneously, the front desk of building nine rang Meng Huang¡¯s phone. Chen Mobai stood beside her, answering the call for her and confirming her failure in Foundation Establishment, which required medical attention.


    ¡°Take good care of yourself.¡±


    Upon uttering these words, Chen Mobai¡¯s figure had already disappeared from the room.


    And soon after, sounds of knocking sounded from outside the door.


    Chen Mobai stood by the window of his room on the second floor, watching Meng Huang being taken away by the school doctors, and noticed the red ring around his thumb fade away, indicating that the extent of the Equaling Heaven Art was as large as a mountain.


    wuxiaworld.site


    After some contemplation, he hesitantly picked up his phone.


    He hadn¡¯t thought much while speaking at the time, but now he was a little embarrassed to actually go and ask for help.


    When he initially searched the practice of Critical Technique on Auxiliary Cultivation software, he saw the post by Tian Wenguang of the Imperial Medical Academy using his high-level authority. The post discussed Tian¡¯s successful practice of Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret after multiple attempts.


    This ancient method once mastered, would enable Cultivators to always retain their innocence while engaging in intercourse and never lose their Yuan Yang.


    However, when Chen Mobai decided to comprehend the Jade Lock Golden Secret, he did so for the Critical Technique alone.


    He could swear, he had never harbored any thoughts about it.


    But seeing Meng Huang¡¯s sorrowful expression, and thinking about how his breakthrough in Divine Sense was only possible with her help, he feared feelings of guilt would trouble him later if he ignored her plight.


    So, impulsively, he said those words then.


    However, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know Tian Wenguang. Plus, as Tian had hidden his post using high-level authority, it indicated that he was a reserved yet socially anxious person.


    If Chen Mobai rashly approached him for consulting about the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret, Tian might feel socially dead, and it might also expose Turtle Treasure.


    What a headache!


    Despite his predicament, Chen Mobai started taking action for the sake of Meng Huang.


    He first logged into Little Red Sky and searched for the record of his battle with Tian Wenguang, then he sent a friend request.


    However, similar to Lu Qiulong, his friend request was not immediately accepted.


    Two years ago, Little Red Sky was quite popular. Many cultivators were eager to spar in order to improve their Cultivation Techniques and skills.


    However, their passion cooled down this year when Chen Mobai perpetually topped the leaderboard, leaving the Foundation Establishment Cultivators with no motivation to advance, they started slacking off.


    After sending the friend request, Chen Mobai looked up Tian Wenguang online.


    As it turns out, as a graduate of the Imperial Medical Academy and a small-time celebrity, Tian was a male doctor in a level three hospital in Baohzu Cave World and had even risen to the status of an associate director.


    Chen Mobai thought for a moment, and booked an appointment with Tian online.


    The online consultation service existed in the Daoist Academies, and booking an appointment with Tian Wenguang was surprisingly challenging. Chen Mobai¡¯s consultation time had been scheduled for after the new year.


    Chen Mobai let out a sigh.


    He was also thinking if he could get Meng Huang a Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    However, this pill was extremely rare even at the Jumang Daoist Academy. As it could only be exchanged once, none of the academy students would be willing to give up this opportunity.


    Chen Mobai even thought about the Foundation Building Pill in the Tianhe realm.


    But it was just an idea, as even the Divine Wood Sect treated it as a war asset. The True Disciples could only receive one pill, and Foundation Establishment Elders like them could not interfere.


    Besides, if there were surplus Foundation Building Pills, Chen Mobai wanted to get one for his dad.


    Even though the chance of Foundation Establishment after sixty is very bleak, it was his concern for his father.


    Moreover, the Foundation Building Pill was prohibited from being refined in the Daoist Academies. His father would definitely help keep it a secret, but if he gave it to Meng Huang, the risk was too high.


    Just as Chen Mobai was thinking about various methods, a text message suddenly popped up on his phone.


    Lan Haitian:[What¡¯s up? After my Core Formation, I was appreciating the aurora views in the Extreme Northern Cave World and crafting my Destiny-tied Legal Treasure using the Power of Bipolar Magnetism, so I seldom checked my phone. I only saw your message today.]


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai was taken aback for a moment, then he was filled with realization followed by astonishment.


    He was fascinated by the Azure Dragon portrayed by Zhongli Tianyu and wished to get a drop of Rank-3 Green Snake Essential Blood, so he wanted to ask professionals about it. Back then, he had texted Lan Haitian:[Are you there?]


    Unexpectedly, he received a reply today.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Although he knew that with Lan Haitian¡¯s talent, coupled with the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, his chances of Core Formation were high. But when he officially learned about Lan Haitian¡¯s Core Formation, he felt emotional.


    Especially after personally witnessing Meng Hong¡¯s failure in Core Formation and Meng Huang¡¯s failure in Foundation Establishment.


    The contrast was too stark.


    Indeed, there is a difference between cultivators and other cultivators.


    Professor Che was right, the capable ones are not affected by destiny.

 Chapter 654 - Chapter 654: Chapter 408: Solution to the Third Tribulation of the Gold Core_1

    Chapter 654: Chapter 408: Solution to the Third Tribulation of the Gold Core_1


    ¡°[I would like to purchase a drop of Rank-3 Green Snake Essential Blood. Do you happen to know someone, senior?]¡±


    After establishing contact with Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai exchanged pleasantries for a moment, and immediately stated his purpose, not daring to waste the time of a Gold Core expert.


    ¡°[Indeed, I do. But I presume this matter might be challenging.]¡±


    As a notable graduate of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute over the past few decades, and having worked in the Heaven Mending Faction for sixty years, Lan Haitian¡¯s network was far broader than Chen Mobai¡¯s.


    He indeed knew a senior from his own institute who had bred a Rank-3 Green Snake. However, that senior himself was also a Gold Core master, and had raised the Green Snake like his wife from an ordinary vegetable snake.


    Although the laws of the Immortal Realm forbade interspecies marriages, that Gold Core cultivator named Xu Yanhe still conducted a Daoist marriage ritual with the Green Snake after it had transformed, inviting several friends as witnesses.


    Despite being unlicensed and a Gold Core cultivator himself, the Immortal Gate turned a blind eye to it, pretending they were unaware.


    ¡°[This¡­]¡±


    After hearing Lan Haitian¡¯s introduction, Chen Mobai felt his youthful spirit being greatly shocked again.


    Compared to these senior cultivators who¡¯ve lived for hundreds of years, he, still a youngster in school, has indeed seen too little.


    This incident couldn¡¯t help but remind him of the various love-hate stories between human cultivators and beautiful spirits that he saw in dramas during his childhood. He had initially thought they were made up, but it turns out they were actually based on reality.


    ¡°[The Green Snake Fairy is Master Xu Yanhe¡¯s Dao partner. I¡¯m afraid it may be impossible to get a drop of her essential blood.]¡±


    After explaining the situation of the Gold Core cultivator, Lan Haitian gently tried to dissuade him.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Thinking about it, if someone came to ask for a drop of your wife¡¯s essential blood, Chen Mobai definitely would not agree either.


    ¡°[Many thanks for the information.]¡±


    After hearing Lan Haitian¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai temporarily gave up the idea of pursuing the Green Snake Essential Blood.


    The extreme north and south are the two farthest Fairy Grottos from the Immortal Gate, located at the two poles of the Planet of Primordial Elements, and only the Core Formation cultivators have the ability to travel there freely.


    ¡°[Oh right, I have an Ice Spirit Root friend who hasn¡¯t had his Foundation Establishment yet. Is the Water Mist Ice Crystal, a kind of spiritual object, sold in the extreme north Fairy Grotto?]¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to exit the conversation interface with Lan Haitian, he suddenly remembered Yan Bingxuan¡¯s situation. There are two types of spiritual objects that can increase the success rate of her Foundation Establishment.


    Among them, Water Mist Ice Crystal can be obtained only from the depths of the Extreme Cold Sea Area at the two polar Fairy Grottos. He couldn¡¯t help but shamelessly ask again.


    ¡°[I¡¯m not sure about that, but I¡¯ll ask around when I have the time.]¡±


    In the Fairy Grotto of the extreme north, there are very few cultivators from the Immortal Gate. After all, the conditions are harsh and you need to wait many years to return if you haven¡¯t reached the Core Formation stage.


    Due to this reason, even though the two poles are the widest Fairy Grottos in the territory of the Immortal Gate, there are often no signs of life for millions of miles.


    Lan Haitian was also unsure about the situation of the Water Mist Ice Crystal as he had found a place with rich aurora and Yuan Magnetic Force outside of Heaven, using the Star Concentrating Stone given to him by the Dance Tool Dao Academy to cast his own destiny Magic Artifact.


    Chen Mobai thanked him again and didn¡¯t disturb him any further.


    After finishing his conversation with Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai immediately went online to search for information about Xu Yanhe, the one who became Dao partners with the Green Snake.


    Each Gold Core cultivator in the Immortal Gate has a standalone encyclopedia, and he was no exception.


    Xu Yanhe, headmaster of the Spiritual Controlling Institute.


    The encyclopedia proceeded with his career timeline from Qi Cultivation to Gold Core, and it mentioned he possessed a Rank-3 Green Snake Spirit Beast, but not about him being Dao partners with the Green Snake.


    After all, this matter was somewhat disgraceful. Therefore, it was normal to harmonize it off for the sake of a Gold Core cultivator¡¯s dignity.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but think about the Devouring Heaven Serpent that he raised in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    It seemed to resemble the other side of Yang Jing. When transformed, would she look like Yang Jing? Wasn¡¯t there a drama named ¡®Under the Qingcheng Mountain¡¯ in his childhood, telling the story between humans and snake spirits?


    As Chen Mobai thought about it and associated it with Xu Yanhe and the Green Snake becoming Dao partners, his thoughts inadvertently diverged to places he shouldn¡¯t be considering, causing him to shake his head vigorously.


    ¡°[Why do I keep thinking about these things that affect my Daoist heart recently?]¡±


    Within his sigh, Chen Mobai felt that his heart was affected because he had opened up such thoughts due to his transaction with Meng Huang.


    However, his breakthrough in the Divine Sense bottleneck this time was indeed thanks to Meng Huang.


    At this thought, Chen Mobai sat in the Cultivation Room.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion had already been partly opened. Streams of refreshing energy overflowed from the jade-green paulownia manifested by his Divine Sense, starting to surge towards the newly opened part of the Sea of Knowledge.


    These were the Divine Senses he had accumulated over the past year by taking the Rank-3 Snow Needle Immortal Buds. But since he was previously at a bottleneck where there was no room for growth of the Divine Sense, he condensed them into fruits as storage.


    Now that the bottleneck was broken and more than half of the Purple Palace Sea of Knowledge was opened, these Divine Senses finally had a place to utilize.


    Under Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Manipulation Technique, new green paulownia seedlings fell on the fringes of the newly opened Purple Palace.


    The bottleneck of the Divine Sense is just like the bottleneck of the Spiritual Power. It won¡¯t regress until it¡¯s fully broken. In the process of breakthrough, if one¡¯s own foundation is insufficient, or there¡¯s some accidental magical battle, there¡¯s a possibility of failing the breakthrough.

 Chapter 655 - Chapter 655: Chapter 408: Solution to the Third Tribulation of Gold Core_2

    Chapter 655: Chapter 408: Solution to the Third Tribulation of Gold Core_2


    Especially at the beginning.


    However, Chen Mobai had already opened up more than half of it with Meng Huang¡¯s Heartstring Mystical Sound, and with the planting of the Green Paulownia Seedling for stabilization, his breakthrough could basically be declared a success.


    After planting six Green Paulownia Seedlings, Chen Mobai opened his eyes in satisfaction.


    Generally speaking, in normal cultivation, the Divine Sense Realm and Spiritual Power Realm progress in tandem, boosting each other during their respective breakthroughs.


    However, Chen Mobai¡¯s breakthrough was unusual. The power of the Tree Fruit allowed his Qi Sea in his Dantian to open up to the level of Perfection in Foundation Building, which resulted in his Divine Sense Realm suddenly becoming a shortfall.


    Involuntarily, Chen Mobai remembered the prediction made by the heir of The Divine Machine Mansion.


    She said he would face three tribulations during his Core Formation.


    Among them, the tribulation concerning lifespan had already been resolved by him using Good Deed Points.


    And for the tribulation where nature¡¯s spiritual energy congregated to form a Core, as long as he was in the immortal sect at the time of Core Formation, he could avoid it.


    As for whether returning to the Tianhe Realm would provoke it, Chen Mobai thought that if he had successfully formed his Core by then, facing the mere Heavenly Tribulation would serve to deepen his image as a peerless Sword Cultivation Genius.


    However, the final tribulation relating to his spirit mind, had no good solutions.


    The heir of the Divine Machine Mansion had mentioned that his foundations were unsteady which could lead to a sudden uncontrollable increase in his cultivation level during Core Formation, thereby resulting in wasted efforts.


    Over the years, Chen Mobai had collected targeted insights about Core Formation and roughly understood what this situation entailed.


    wuxiaworld.site


    There were mainly two situations, one was a breach in his state of mind, which would be broken by a Heart Demon during Core Formation.


    The other was if his Divine Sense was not strong enough to break into the corresponding Realm when Spiritual Power condensed into a Gold Core, causing him to lose control over the sudden surge of power, increasing ten or even several tens of times.


    If this happened, most in the Eastern Wilderness, due to lack of sufficient experience would die as a result, coupled with each Sect¡¯s self-protection, causing their bodies to explode.


    The Divine Wood Sect, on the other hand, would be like Meng Hong, who would choose to shatter their own Gold Core and voluntarily lower their own Realm when they see that they are about to fail.


    Although such a failure in Core Formation would damage their Elemental Energy, it could guarantee that their lives would not be endangered. After several years of recovery, they could fully heal.


    The immortal sect, on the other hand, due to their rich experience and countless Core Formation insights, had various targeted methods for this situation.


    Likewise, they would vent off the Spiritual Power from Core Formation, the four Daoist Academies and the ten academic palaces each had their own related studies and Secret Techniques.


    For example, the Taoist Institute¡¯s Artifact-refining Department from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, would inject the powerful Spiritual Power after Core Formation into a pre-prepared Artifact Embryo. This way, even if they failed in their Core Formation, they could still help forge their own magic artifact.


    With good luck, they could even create a Rank-3 Magic Artifact.


    The Charm and Talisman Department could take this opportunity to refine powerful charm artifacts and talisman treasures.


    In any case, the immortal sect had methods to minimize the waste of Core Formation Spiritual Power in cases where the Divine Sense could not make a breakthrough.


    Chen Mobai is steady in his actions and believes in a two-pronged approach.


    Whether it was interference from a Heart Demon or the inability of Divine Sense to make a breakthrough, he had to take both into consideration.


    Among them, for the interference of the Heart Demon, the immortal sect had various magic artifacts and Spirit Pills for this specific issue, and even Formation charms, so he could borrow external objects.


    But for the breakthrough of his Divine Sense Realm, he could only rely on himself.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t have much confidence in his own talent. He originally wanted to try a small attempt at Core Formation first, similar to Foundation Building. Even if he failed, it wouldn¡¯t matter much, after all, he was young and could accumulate experience in Core Formation first.


    When the time came for the second attempt, he would prepare Liquid Gold Jade to calm the Heart Demon along with all kinds of Spirit Pills, striving to succeed on the second try.


    But now, he had a better option.


    Meng Huang¡¯s third condition had not been taken seriously by Chen Mobai at first, after all it was only a possibility to break through by listening to the Heavenly Sound in a state of fusion, it was not a 100% success rate.


    And he is upright and could withstand tests.


    However, after breaking through the bottleneck of Divine Sense with Meng Huang¡¯s Heartstring Mystical Sound for Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai felt that he might have underestimated the Mystic Sound Method.


    As the number one auxiliary cultivation method of the immortal sect and even the hope for many Nascent Soul cultivators to transform into Divinities, it indeed had some merits.


    Chen Mobai thought that if he could truly listen to the Heavenly Sound with Meng Huang¡¯s most intense Heartstring Mystical Sound, even if his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion could not directly break through to the level of Core Formation, there would definitely be some reaction.


    Even if it was merely a tiny crack, at least the experience of breaking through would increase his chances of success during the actual core formation.


    This temptation was quite significant.


    So, Chen Mobai wanted Meng Huang to establish her foundation, not just to repay her kindness, but also for his own Gold Core Third Tribulation.


    If he could truly open up the sea of knowledge at the Purple Mansion to the core formation level during the foundation building realm, he was confident that he could easily pass the third tribulation as spoken of by the descendant of The Divine Machine Mansion.


    But how to assist?


    Given Meng Huang¡¯s collapsed mentality after failing to establish her foundation twice, it seems that only mastering a critical technique could give her the courage to continue striking.


    Otherwise, even if he gave her a Foundation Building Pill, she might still fail.


    While Chen Mobai was contemplating, in a high-rise building of the Caelum¡¯s Feathered Heaven, a female employee with glasses saw a string of the latest data sent over.


    ¡°Eh, Customer 021745 has failed.¡±


    This was an information processing company, founded by Azure Feather Cliff specifically to collect various situations after using Equaling Heaven Art.


    Among them, Meng Huang was Customer 021745.


    After using Equaling Heaven Art, the talisman will quantify the two connected people¡¯s fate into modern data, which they can see.


    Before Azure Feather Cliff declined, there was a method to observe Qi, where its status could be inferred from the cultivator¡¯s facial features and other factors through close observation.


    But after the fall of the two core-forming ancestors in the different world, this technique was lost.


    The ancient dao was quite selfish regarding cultivation techniques.


    However, after thousands of years of lurking in the fairy world, Azure Feather Cliff used high technology to write a set of quantitative programs for Qi Luck, combined with the talisman of Equaling Heaven Art, which worked better and more accurately than the Qi observing technique.


    After reading Meng Huang¡¯s data using Equaling Heaven Art, the girl with glasses couldn¡¯t help showing a strange expression.


    Then she printed this report and knocked on the office door of the superior.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    A mature woman in charge of the ancient dao on this side was handed the file by her assistant. After reading it, her eyebrows wrinkled in confusion.


    ¡°Manager Li, this is the client you specifically told me to monitor. However, it seems she doesn¡¯t completely trust our Equaling Heaven Art and has only found a Qi cultivator with very ordinary luck.¡±


    The talisman of the Equaling Heaven Art can quantify the Qi luck of both users, in addition to estimating their cultivation level based on spiritual power; all of this information is transmitted as data to this company.


    The girl with glasses checked the code and found that the fate of the two people who used Meng Huang¡¯s talisman was not significantly different, normalizing them wouldn¡¯t make much of a difference.


    One of them was definitely Meng Huang, while the other, with Qi luck similar to her, was obviously an ordinary foundation building cultivator.


    After hearing the report of her staff and reading the document in her hand, the woman surnamed Li waved her hand without saying a word, and the assistant immediately retreated.


    ¡°This shouldn¡¯t be¡­¡±


    Before the door closed, the girl with glasses heard her leader¡¯s confusion.


    She seemed a bit skeptical about Meng Huang¡¯s failed foundation building.


    This big star is a high-quality customer who has been tracked by the leader for a year. It was thought that with her wide connections and rich resources, she would easily establish her foundation with the help of great Qi luck using the Equaling Heaven Art.


    Once the foundation was established, realizing the importance of Qi luck, she would purchase talismans for every breakthrough and even introduce those around her to try it.


    But who knew that this high-quality customer would fail.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Such a shame, she was originally a great living advertisement.


    As the girl with glasses was feeling regretful, Manager Li in the office, a beautiful woman, was making a phone call: ¡°Help me look into something¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai was completely unaware of this.


    He bought a bouquet of fresh flowers and a basket of fruits, visiting a hospitalized Meng Huang. Seeing him coming in and sitting down, guilt tinged her pale face.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, despite all that you¡¯ve done for me, I still failed.¡±

 Chapter 656 - Chapter 656: Chapter 409: Income from Two Realms_1

    Chapter 656: Chapter 409: Income from Two Realms_1


    Meng Huang thought she was too useless, hence even borrowing Chen Mobai¡¯s energy did not prevent her failure at the Foundation Establishment.


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai shook his head and comforted her.


    ¡°Right now, your main task should be to recuperate from your injuries, striving to attempt the Foundation Establishment once again before graduation next year.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Huang¡¯s face reflected a trace of disappointment. She lowered her head, not speaking a word, seemingly lost in her lack of faith in herself.


    ¡°This is the original Ancient Method Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret of the liminal law. You might find it useful for your recuperation. After comprehending this, I was able to grasp all the mysteries of liminal law.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed over a book that he had once read in the Daoist Academy Library to Meng Huang who was lying in bed. Upon hearing his words, the light in her previously dull eyes reignited a little. She accepted the book and thanked the handsome young man in front of her.


    ¡°Have you always been this diligent? Few people would bother to read this.¡±


    Meng Huang gently asked.


    Since the cultivation technique of the Immortal Sect can be easily obtained, and the higher-ranking cultivators update it timely with their new interpretations for the benefit of the public, many people choose the version with the most recent update when downloading online.


    Since the inception of the liminal law, the Immortal Sect has updated at least hundreds of versions.


    Many people might cross-reference only a few of the most recent versions, but the fact that Chen Mobai was still practicing the Ancient Method Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret from the original source surprised Meng Huang. She had never heard anyone else doing the same.


    ¡°When I was searching for liminal law cultivation experiences on the Auxiliary Cultivation software, I happened upon a post claiming its usefulness, so I started diligently cultivating it and, by pure luck, succeeded.¡±


    Chen Mobai was telling the truth, except he left out the part about his success only after taking a Soul Awakening Dao Pill.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    ¡°Oh, is that post still available?¡±


    As software that¡¯s popular among cultivators, Auxiliary Cultivation is relatively well-known. Meng Huang has downloaded it and searched for liminal law cultivation content but hadn¡¯t noticed this post.


    Chen Mobai directed her to Tian Wenguang¡¯s post. Although the most critical part of the post was hidden and inaccessible, the visible parts verified his words.


    This post, due to its privacy settings, had minimal viewings and was thus buried far back. Chen Mobai would not have noticed it if he hadn¡¯t habitually filtered the posts from high to low privacy settings.


    ¡°How can I get in contact with the person who posted this?¡±


    Having heard Chen Mobai¡¯s successful experiences, Meng Huang was pinning her hopes of mastering the liminal law on the Jade Lock Golden Secrets. She was extremely interested in the hidden parts after reading the visible content.


    ¡°Send him a private message and see if he replies.¡±


    Chen Mobai, of course, knew Tian Wenguang was a graduate of the Imperial Medical Academy, but he couldn¡¯t reveal that he had high access rights. So, he let Meng Huang send a private message from her account to the poster.


    Tian Wenguang¡¯s username in the Auxiliary Cultivation software was ¡°Lone Ranger¡±. Meng Huang politely phrased a message, stating she wanted to learn from his successful experience with the Jade Lock Golden Secrets.


    However, as the vice-director of a top-tier hospital, Tian Wenguang obviously couldn¡¯t always be glued to his phone, so the message lying in his inbox remained unanswered.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. You might comprehend the Jade Lock Golden Secrets by yourself after some time.¡±


    Chen Mobai, seeing Meng Huang¡¯s improved mood and that she seemed to have found a new purpose, was relieved and reassured her with these words.


    ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll look at it myself first. Speaking of which, didn¡¯t you mention that a friend from the Imperial Medical Academy also mastered it? Did he share any tips?¡±


    It seemed Meng Huang hadn¡¯t forgotten Chen Mobai¡¯s comfort to her. She viewed the Jade Lock Golden Secrets as her last hope and asked hastily as he was about to leave.


    ¡°Although we¡¯re friends, it was a pretty casual friendship. I did bring it up to him, but I will have to wait until after the New Year for a detailed discussion.¡±


    Chen Mobai responded truthfully. Meng Huang was disappointed but still maintained a smile and expressed her gratitude.


    ¡°Thank you for your efforts.¡±


    After leaving the hospital, Chen Mobai booked a ticket back to Red Sandstone City.


    There were a few issues he needed to address at his hometown¡¯s rune factories at the end of the year.


    The first was related to the loans he took out when he set up the puppet factory. The annual interest needed to be paid by year-end, and one large loan required an extension. Without his presence, these matters would not be resolved.


    After returning to Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai started to tally up his annual income from the Immortal Sect.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Beginning with the Sky Rune Factory, because of the puppet factory, he had instructed them to switch to high-end product production, generating only Rank-2 talisman papers and inks.


    Despite the staff at Sky Rune Factory being skilled, without the leadership of the veteran Talisman Maker, Wu Shangru, the quality of the produced Green Jade Talisman Paper could barely maintain Rank-2.


    Originally, this Green Jade Talisman Paper was priced at 500 Good Deed Points per piece, but due to its mediocre quality, even as the cheapest among Rank-2 talisman papers, it struggled to sell.


    Tang Panchui was very worried looking at the accounts at the end of the year.


    The profit margin significantly decreased compared to the previous year, and if not for the reasonably well-selling Rank-2 Chixia Talisman Ink, they might have been at a loss.

 Chapter 657 - Chapter 657: Chapter 409: Income from Two Worlds_2

    Chapter 657: Chapter 409: Income from Two Worlds_2


    However, despite this, the annual profit shown at the end of the year was only one hundred thousand Good Deed Points.


    This made Tang Panchui, the lady boss of the shop, very worried.


    ¡°Son, why don¡¯t you let the workers continue producing Rank-1 talisman papers next year? At least we¡¯ll have something to make money from.¡±


    Chen Mobai was holding his talisman brush, constantly writing and drawing on his workbench. He was parsing the talisman code of the Equaling Heaven Art while Tang Panchui leaned over and suggested this idea.


    ¡°Techniques are reliant on practice. From what I can see, the quality of the talisman papers at the end of the year is significantly improved compared to the beginning of the year. I want to give Director Pan another chance so that the quality of our Jade Talisman Paper will reach Rank-2 by next year.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t really care whether their Flying Sky Talisman Factory could make money. He could take the unsold Talisman Papers to the Eastern Wilderness.


    In addition, if stored properly, talisman paper can be preserved for decades.


    His puppet factory ran at full capacity this year. Subtracting the usual efficiency loss from the wear and tear of the puppets, it produced a total of 3.6 million Rank-1 top-grade talisman papers.


    In Eastern Wilderness, Liu Wenbo, his senior apprentice, managed five major markets in Jian Country. This, combined with collaborations with various talisman paper shops, and expansion into the four nations under Divine Wood Sect, achieved a total annual sales of five hundred thousand papers.


    Just this income alone amounted to more than forty thousand spirit stones.


    However, Chen Mobai overestimated the spending power in the Eastern Wilderness. He brought a million talisman papers over there this year and expected to sell them all, only to realize that the market in the four nations of Divine Wood Sect could only absorb half of them.


    Thanks to the fact that the puppet factory produced low-cost and high-quality talisman papers ¡ª and everyone knew that he, the number one sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, stood behind Xiao Nanshan Shop ¡ª its large turnover was not preyed upon by the covetous. Otherwise, all these profits would have been snatched already.


    Despite that, Liu Wenbo did not dare to leave the market area over the past year, fearing that he would be robbed by rogue cultivators.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    On a normal day, he would not hesitate to spend spirit stones to use the teleportation array to travel between the Sect and the market.


    Compared with the hot sales in the Eastern Wilderness, the performance of the shop in the immortal realm was much worse.


    The quality of the talisman papers produced by the puppet factory was just average in the Immortal Realm, and so was the sales volume.


    Flying Sky Talisman Factory originally had a comprehensive ecosystem, producing thirty types of talisman papers, ranging from Rank-1 lower-grade to Rank-2 lower-grade, with various categories including Golden Paper and Rock Paper, and produced according to the orders from dealers.


    However, due to the restructuring of the industry chain by the puppet factory this year, they only produced two kinds of talisman paper: Rank-1 top-grade and Rank-2 lower-grade.


    The dealers would not adjust their requirements due to them, so they only ordered twenty thousand Rank-1 talisman papers and one thousand Rank-2 jade talisman papers as needed in previous years.


    Of these, almost half of the jade talisman papers that did not meet the quality standards were returned by the dealers.


    As a result, the reputation of Flying Sky Talisman Factory had somewhat deteriorated, and most of the contracts for Jade Talisman Paper for the next year have been canceled.


    At the end of the year, only 2.1 million Good Deed Points were credited to the company account, which barely kept them afloat.


    If they were to repay the bank loan and interest, it would certainly not be enough. thus, Chen Mobai used this as an excuse to apply for permission to lower prices from the relevant authorities.


    The Immortal Realm has a guide price for every item on the market. You can price your item higher than this guide price, but not lower, in order not to disrupt the market and cause various chain reactions.


    However, if the company was on the verge of going under with heaps of stock left in the warehouse, they could apply to the Immortal Business Department of the Immortal Realm for permission to lower prices.


    In the warehouse of the puppet factory, there were roughly two million Rank-1 top-grade talisman papers. Thanks to Chen Mobai¡¯s reputation, the Immortal Realm Department in Red Sandstone City didn¡¯t even send personnel to check and directly greenlit the request.


    With this document, Chen Mobai could sell his products below the market guide price.


    He did not push it too far.


    The official guide price for the Rank-1 high-grade talisman paper was 80 Good Deed Points a piece and he applied for 70 Good Deed Points.


    In any case, over two hundred million ordinary Qi Practitioners in the Immortal Realm had to budget for each Good Deed Point they spent, without having reached the Foundation Establishment phase yet.


    Therefore, the lower price will definitely capture most of the market.


    In just half a month, more than two hundred thousand units were ordered from Flying Sky Talisman Factory¡¯s online shop in the Immortal Realm, which exceeded Chen Mobai¡¯s expectations.


    However, by the end of the year, many businesses had applied for price-reducing permission through connections. While his 70 Good Deed Points was considered a considerable drop, there were still many competitors in the market.


    After this, sales began to fall sharply.


    Even so, the sale of those two hundred thousand talisman papers had already netted Flying Sky Talisman Factory an income of 14 million Good Deed Points.


    Since there were no labor costs, and the pulp materials were the Red Sun Spiritual Wood from Divine Tree Secret Realm, which had no costs, this 14 million was pure profit.

    Tang Panchui was a bit unsatisfied and wanted to stimulate sales with promotions such as ¡®buy ten get one free¡¯.


    However, Chen Mobai considered and then shook his head in refusal.


    Best to keep a low profile in the Immortal Realm.


    Moreover, if they started a ¡®buy ten get one free¡¯ promotion now, customers who bought the previous two hundred thousand would feel like they lost out and could potentially demand refunds, causing even more trouble.


    Although Chen Mobai could issue additional pieces, talisman papers have a long shelf life. If they couldn¡¯t be sold here, he estimated that the stock would not be enough once Xiao Nanshan Shop expanded across the entire Eastern Wilderness.

 Chapter 658 - Chapter 658: Chapter 409: Income from Two Realms_3

    Chapter 658: Chapter 409: Income from Two Realms_3


    Therefore, after making a large fortune, Chen Mobai maintained his price of 70 Good Deed Points undaunted, making it a satisfactory conclusion for the year.


    After receiving this large sum of Good Deed Points, he deducted the tax for the Immortal Gate authorities, just enough to pay off the first two loans from the Immortal Gate¡¯s bank.


    One of them was the five million Good Deed Points Chen Mobai took as a loan from Life-Extension Cultivation Institute using his Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory as collateral to purchase elixirs.


    The latter was guaranteed by Qin Baipeng, considered as the Immortal Gate¡¯s policy support for his settling as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, also amounting to five million.


    After paying off these two loans, Chen Mobai was left with the debt that he had secured with the Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror.


    He could likely be debt-free by next year if he had another massive year-end sale like this again.


    At the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai planned to be steady and sure.


    The Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory would continue to research Rank-2 paper and ink talismans. The good quality ones would be sold to the customers here, and those returned would be taken to the South Mountain Shop.


    However, to avoid any leaks, Chen Mobai had the Flying Heavenly Talisman Factory sign an order for the raw materials for two hundred thousand talisman papers from the Spirit Wood supplier in Yu Wood City next door.


    After all, it would take at least three or four years for the Spirit Wood in his fire-poisoned land to grow enough for harvest.


    If his puppet factory had no signs of raw material deliveries for a long time, suspicions would inevitably be raised over time. Even if his face could cover it up, it would certainly leave a trace at the relevant departments.


    He would publicly claim that the puppet factory¡¯s annual production was just so much. Each year, the extra three hundred thousand talisman papers would all be dumped into the Eastern Wilderness.


    The Divine Wood Sect could consume five hundred thousand talisman papers within the four countries under its command in a year. If the whole Eastern Wilderness was considered as the market, this output should be just right.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Thinking this way, Chen Mobai felt that these talisman papers would expose the production capacity of the puppet factory if kept at the Immortal Gate. So, he worked hard to move them all to South Mountain.


    Then he called over his eldest disciple Liu Wenbo and pointed to the mountainous pile of snow-white talisman papers, indicating that they were to be his responsibility.


    ¡°Disciple will not let you down, Master.¡±


    Liu Wenbo was first shocked, then he summoned Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan, and the three of them cooperated to move these talisman papers to a warehouse at the foot of the mountain.


    ¡°Master, this is the income from the five Fang Markets in Jian Country last year. After deducting the shop rent and market fees, it totals thirty-eight thousand six hundred and seventy-two lower-grade Spirit Stones.¡±


    After moving the talisman papers, Liu Wenbo came up the mountain again and handed a storage bag to Chen Mobai with both hands.


    ¡°Very good, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    After Chen Mobai accepted it, he found that most of them had already been exchanged into intermediate-grade Spirit Stones. He couldn¡¯t help but be even more satisfied with his eldest disciple, and nodded repeatedly.


    He gave a thousand Spirit Stones to Liu Wenbo, who was a bit overwhelmed and didn¡¯t know how to receive them.


    It¡¯s normal for disciples to work for their master without receiving any rewards.


    However, over the years, all three disciples had gotten to know Chen Mobai¡¯s character. After some hesitation, Liu Wenbo accepted the gift excitedly.


    Although he also came from a wealthy family, a thousand Spirit Stones were no small amount to them.


    ¡°Thank you, Master. Oh, by the way, the manager of Sky Meal Building has contacted me. He wants to reach a cooperative agreement on Spiritual Wine supply with our South Mountain Shop.¡±


    In his excitement, Liu Wenbo didn¡¯t forget about another matter. The main products in the South Mountain Shop are talisman papers, spirit rice, and spiritual wine.


    Among these, talisman papers sell the best, but the unique spiritual wine and spirit rice also have many cultivator admirers.


    Sometimes, a loose cultivator would bring the spiritual wine from the South Mountain Shop to dine at the Sky Meal Building, and after multiple occasions, an appreciative manager noticed and contacted Liu Wenbo. After tasting all the spiritual wines, the manager found them to be very good and proposed a cooperation intention to Liu Wenbo.

    ¡°Save some for your master, and discuss the rest of the stock with Zhuo Ming. See what price is suitable.¡±


    If there are Spirit Stones to be earned, he certainly won¡¯t refuse.


    ¡°Master, Sky Meal Building requests exclusive distribution. In other words, if we reach an agreement with them, we wouldn¡¯t be able to sell wine anymore.¡±


    Liu Wenbo said something that stunned Chen Mobai, before he sneered slightly and said one sentence.


    ¡°Reject them.¡±

 Chapter 659 - Chapter 659: Chapter 410 Equal Distribution of Rain and Dew_1

    Chapter 659: Chapter 410 Equal Distribution of Rain and Dew_1


    Though Chen Mobai knew that cooperating with Sky Meal Building would surely earn him more Spirit Stones.


    But for him, with both his puppet factory and sect supplying him with a steady stream of paper charms and Spirit Rice yield, he was gaining tens of thousands of Spirit Stones annually, which was more than enough for him.


    And it was clear that, as time passed, the annual revenue would only increase.


    The Spirit Wine was originally meant for him to enjoy and entertain friends, and Zhuo Ming would be focusing her energy onto the five hundred mu Spirit Field, so the production of Spirit Wine would undoubtedly decrease in the future.


    If they really signed an exclusive contract with Sky Meal Building, wouldn¡¯t it make Zhuo Ming even more tired?


    Chen Mobai, who always cared for his disciple, declined without a second thought.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    Liu Wenbo naturally nodded in agreement.


    After all the paper charms were transported, Chen Mobai took a leisurely stroll around his territory.


    Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan were both arranging the harvest of varieties of Spirit Rice Spirit Plants at the foot of Xiao Nanshan.


    The sixty mu here was their own field, with various kinds of Spirit Rice being planted as experimental crops to try out different new varieties of Spirit Rice.


    But what Chen Mobai cared about the most was the new Rank-2 Spirit Rice planted in the middle of the year. This hybrid spirit rice from Qing Kuo and Jade Bud, under Zhuo Ming¡¯s meticulous care, was now fully capable of sustaining the vitality of Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    Soon, the four of them arrived at the Spirit Field.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    It was Liu Wenbo¡¯s first time witnessing the wonders of Yi Wood Divine Thunder, and he was thoroughly amazed, his reverence for his master grew.


    After Chen Mobai used the Yi Wood Divine Thunder to ripen all the Spirit Rice in the field, Zhuo Ming, wearing a straw hat, plunged her hands into the soil, closed her eyes, and used her Mother Earth Cultivation to feel the earth¡¯s energy and the mature rice plants growing on it.


    Soon, she opened her eyes with a delighted expression.


    ¡°Master, more than one-third of them are Rank-2. After a couple more cycles, we should be able to isolate the pure Rank-2 Spirit Rice seeds.¡±


    Chen Mobai, upon hearing this, couldn¡¯t help but smile with joy.


    He plucked a stalk of rice, caressed the plump grains, stripped off the green outer husk and the slender spike of grain, looking at the long Spirit Rice with a milky-white sheen inside, he scattered it satisfyingly into the soil.


    ¡°Master, this new Spirit Rice doesn¡¯t have a name yet, why don¡¯t you give it one?¡±


    On the side, Luo Yixuan saw Chen Mobai happily suggested.


    ¡°This Spirit Rice, a hybrid of Qing Kuo and Jade Bud, let¡¯s call it ¡®Green Jade Spirit Rice¡¯.¡±


    Chen Mobai was a casual person, he took a character from each and named this new Rank-2 Spirit Rice.


    ¡°Master is wise.¡±


    The three disciples said in unison as they listened.


    Such was the custom in the Eastern Wilderness, and Chen Mobai had gotten used to it over time.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, you¡¯ll have to work hard again, plant a couple more cycles of the Green Jade Spirit Rice for seed selection, and when all the Spirit Rice that grows out is Rank-2, then promote it to all the Rank-2 spirit fields.¡±


    Zhuo Ming had been working extremely hard this year, apart from the terracing, she had to lead the ordinary people who had recently migrated here to plant Spirit Rice, she had to take care of the sixty mu of hybrid Spirit Rice with distinct characteristics in Xiao Nanshan, and there were also the Rank-1 and Rank-2 Tea Trees on the hillside. She had lost weight, and her small round face was not as round anymore.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    But amidst the busyness, Zhuo Ming felt her own value, no longer felt like a burden to the Xiao Nanshan sect.


    Their sect was respected in the Divine Wood Sect after all.


    Chen Mobai was known as the first genius of the Divine Wood Sect since its inception, known as the topmost Sword Cultivator of the sect, with a fighting strength second only to the two ancestors.


    The eldest senior brother, Liu Wenbo, was a family member, and this year he returned to the core level once again, and also presided over the major Fang Markets outside, being a guest of honor for many forces.


    The little junior sister excelled even more, she was not only beautiful, but also had amazing skills. Since joining Xiao Nanshan, for two consecutive years, she was placed third in the core rankings and was regarded as a fairy by many Qi Cultivation disciples in the Divine Wood Sect.


    In this generation of core disciples, Luo Yixuan was also considered one of the most likely to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.


    Her status was somewhat equivalent to that of E Yun in the past.


    Compared to them, Zhuo Ming seemed ordinary. Many disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, when discussing the Xiao Nanshan lineage, always mentioned how lucky she was.


    Without a background, without talent, she had surprisingly managed to become a disciple of the topmost Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Especially in this year¡¯s major competition within the sect, Zhuo Ming was eliminated in the fourth round, which caused such talk to become more widespread.


    Some even said Chen Mobai, despite being mighty, had a poor vision when it came to accepting disciples.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As a Loose Cultivator, Zhuo Ming had experienced a lot of hardship. She didn¡¯t care much about what others thought of her, but she couldn¡¯t tolerate them defaming her master.


    However, they were all from the same sect, and most of the comments came from people who were jealous that she could join the Xiao Nanshan sect, not necessarily targetted at Chen Mobai.


    So Zhuo Ming could only keep these grievances to herself, and what she could do was to strive to show her value and improve herself.


    While farming, she was diligently practicing the Nine Zun Law Body, striving to master this Body Refining Technique as soon as possible, so as to vindicate herself and her master in future sect competitions.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know about these things, but he still felt that Zhuo Ming had too much on her plate, so he instructed Luo Yixuan to take over the management of the ordinary people who had moved in next year, and also transferred the South Mountain Shop in Divine Wood City to Liu Wenbo.

 Chapter 660 - Chapter 660: Chapter 410 Rain and Dew are Shared_2

    Chapter 660: Chapter 410 Rain and Dew are Shared_2


    From now on, Zhuo Ming only needed to focus on cultivating the terraced fields and planting the Spirit Rice, and occasionally making some wine when he had free time.


    This greatly reduced his burden.


    After assigning responsibilities to his three disciples, Chen Mobai took them to inspect the newly opened Spirit Fields.


    Thanks to Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan¡¯s efforts, coupled with the help of six farming puppets, Miao Mountain and Court Mountain were fully developed this year. However, due to the hard soil of the terraced fields, they were currently filled with vast fields of Spiritual Oil Mustard Greens to improve the soil.


    Standing on the ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± mid-air, Chen Mobai gazed at the sea of mustard flowers below, which appeared to be like golden waves. He felt exceptionally relaxed.


    With the mountain wind blowing, the sea of flowers mixed with golden yellow and emerald green seemed to be teeming with countless golden waves, emitting a heartening fragrance that left him lightheaded with pleasure.


    ¡°The hundred mu of terraced fields should be able to plant Fire Spirit Rice next year.¡±


    After feeling the earth energy and spiritual power from the soil, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction.


    ¡°The terraces on Big Brother¡¯s Wing Mountain have also been almost leveled. If we plant Spiritual Oil Mustard Greens next year, we¡¯ll be able to use it by the second half of the year. Only Shuyang Mountain may have to wait until the end of the next year.¡±


    As Zhuo Ming reported the status of the other two hills, Chen Mobai nodding his head and took them to check out the areas.


    ¡°Wen Bo, are you satisfied with this mountain that your master has given you?¡±


    In mid-air, Chen Mobai pointed at Wing Mountain, which had been terraced like steps up the hill this year.


    ¡°Thank you master for your kindness. I also appreciate my junior sisters¡¯ hard work.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    Since Liu Wenbo was usually away, the terraces on Wing Mountain were all due to Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan¡¯s efforts. The two women made a slight curtsy but did not take credit.


    The terraced farming method usually does not develop the mountain top, only up to about halfway up the mountain.


    In this way, the abundant moisture from the trees on the top of the mountain would circulate and water the terraced fields.


    In the mundane world, people would create a habitation area between the top forest and the terraced fields, forming a more perfect cycle.


    However, for cultivators, these were unnecessary, as they could disrupt the purity of their cultivation.


    The ordinary people who were moved there were arranged by Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan to live at the foot of the mountain.


    Seeing that Liu Wenbo had no place to live on Wing Mountain, Chen Mobai casually drew a Wooden House Talisman and provided his eldest disciple with a luxurious wooden house with three rooms and a hall.


    After surveying all his territories, Chen Mobai found that he now owned 460 mu of spirit fields.


    If more fields were developed on Shuyang Mountain next year, it was estimated to reach around 520 mu, slightly more than the originally projected 500 mu.


    Since there were no cultivators on Shuyang Mountain, it could be further developed upward.


    Deducting the 60 mu on Xiao Nanshan, if all 400 mu were planted with Fire Spirit Rice next year with two rounds per year and an average yield of 150 jin per mu, it could exchange 12,000 lower-grade spirit stones or contributions from the sect.


    Indeed, in terms of pure profits, farming could not compare to trading.


    However, Chen Mobai would not forget that his primary goal was still farming.


    After the inspection, the master and his disciples returned to Xiao Nanshan.


    ¡°You three have worked hard this year. If you have any doubts about your cultivation, feel free to ask your master.¡±


    Sitting on the ground in front of the wooden house on the mountaintop, Chen Mobai began to give them a rare lesson while the three disciples sat solemnly in front of him.


    As the eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo was the first to express his doubts about the cultivation of duality and his adherence to the two cultivation techniques.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s realm, questions about the disciples¡¯ cultivation were easy for him to answer.


    Even for Zhuo Ming¡¯s Earth Mother Cultivation and Luo Yixuan¡¯s Blackwater Cultivation, which he had not practiced himself, he could consult the unmanifested puppet in the wooden house.


    He would directly use Spirit Stones to infer what he didn¡¯t know and easily provide the most suitable answers for the three disciples.


    After this session of imparting knowledge and answering queries, the disciples admired Chen Mobai even more.


    ¡°Here are the Purple Fire Sword Talismans drawn by your master, one for each of you. Use them as life-saving tools.¡±


    After the lesson, Chen Mobai took out three purple talisman that he had prepared in advance from his storage bag and handed them to his three disciples.


    ¡°Thank you, Master!¡±


    Liu Wenbo and the others didn¡¯t refuse this time. It¡¯s customary in the Eastern Wilderness for Masters to give gifts to their disciples after teaching, and it¡¯s the day that disciples anticipate most every year.


    However, some disgraceful masters go several years without teaching at all.


    ¡°Be careful when using it, don¡¯t get caught up in it yourself.¡±


    After Chen Mobai thoroughly instructed them on how to use the Purple Fire Sword Talisman, he added a warning.


    Publicly, he cultivates the Changsheng Immortality Sutra and Red Flame Sword Jue with his Dual-Phase Cultivation. Therefore, many in the Divine Wood Sect believe Chen Mobai is the most likely to reach Core Formation.


    This is because among the Foundation Establishment prodigies, Hong He, E Yun, and Yin Qingmei have not cultivated the Dual-Phase Cultivation.


    Only Chen Mobai and Zhou Wangshen have, but the latter mainly relied on resources and is generally recognized as having less talent than Chen Mobai.


    The Red Flame Sword Jue is a mystic sword technique, and Chen Mobai often relied on the Red Flame Sword Talisman during his Qi Cultivation. He was able to get into the Dance Tool Dao Academy mainly due to one, the Red Flame Tri-Sword Talisman.


    This Purple Fire Sword Talisman is an upgraded version of the Red Flame Tri-Sword Talisman, an intermediate grade under Rank-2 charm. It¡¯s a big weapon for Qi Practitioners.


    Those given to the disciples were three Rank-2 lower grade talismans, each imprinted with a weakened version of Chen Mobai¡¯s Purple Fire Sword Light. Only in this way, the talismans could be controlled and used barely by the three disciples.


    A talisman imbued with Chen Mobai¡¯s full-power Purple Fire Sword Light could reach middle-grade Rank-2.


    Further, if replaced with Green-sun Fire Sword Light, the talisman would be an upper-grade Rank-2. If Chen Mobai put his heart and soul into drawing it, it could even achieve a lower-grade Rank-3.


    But Chen Mobai would definitely not do this. Depleting his lifeblood to craft a talisman is not his style.


    He would prefer to directly draw a Rank-3 Green Flame Sword Talisman. Although it would lose a Green Flames Sword Slaughter, Chen Mobai has the Pure Yang Scroll. As long as there is enough spiritual energy over time, he can continually generate Green-sun Fire. He would rather lose some external objects than his lifeblood.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    After receiving the Purple Fire Sword Talisman, each disciple solemnly took it with both hands and put it into their storage bags.


    ¡°By the way, Wen Bo, you might want to check out the Fang Market in Snow Country next year. While expanding the market, ask around if there is a spiritual object called Water Mist Ice Crystal. Also, if there¡¯s a chance to exchange for high-grade Spirit Stones, even at a premium of 10-20 percent, please help me exchange it.¡±


    Chen Mobai described the effects of the Water Mist Ice Crystal, as he didn¡¯t know its name in the Eastern Wilderness, and Liu Wenbo took careful note.


    ¡°Ming, do you still have your Five-Transform Umbrella?¡±


    With a puzzled expression, Zhuo Ming nodded and took out the magic artifact Chen Mobai had presented to her from her storage bag, handing it reverently to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I have a Peach Blossom Evil that is of no use to me, so I thought about upgrading your Five-Transform Umbrella. I will return this artifact to you after the New Year.¡±


    This thought had been in Chen Mobai¡¯s mind for a while now, but he¡¯d been a bit busy this past year and had forgotten about it.


    Seeing Zhuo Ming now, thinking how diligent this second disciple had been, reminded him of it.


    ¡°Master, I don¡¯t know how to repay your kindness.¡±


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s face was filled with excitement after hearing that.


    Her Five-Transform Umbrella was already of top Rank-1. If the Peach Blossom Evil were added in, it could essentially be upgraded to the ultimate Rank-1, increasing its power.


    In this year¡¯s Sect Championship, it was her Five-Transform Umbrella that barely got her through to the fourth round.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If it could truly be upgraded, she might be able to aim for the top one hundred next year, even possibly becoming a quasi-true disciple.


    ¡°Xuan, give me your defensive leather armor and I will draw a defensive Talisman on it.¡±


    Chen Mobai is naturally fair to his own disciples. Seeing Luo Yixuan standing there looking envious, and thinking how well-behaved she had been this year, he mentioned the Rank-2 Beast Skin he had given her.


    To his surprise, Luo Yixuan¡¯s face turned slightly red after hearing this and she seemed a bit embarrassed.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯m currently wearing that armor. I¡¯ll give it to you tomorrow.¡±

 Chapter 661 - Chapter 661: Chapter 411: Thoughts_1

    Chapter 661: Chapter 411: Thoughts_1


    Since he had to wait for Luo Yixuan for a day, Chen Mobai took this time to ride the sect¡¯s teleportation array to the White Moon Market.


    He came to buy Snow Needle Immortal Bud from the Bai family.


    This type of Spiritual Tea not only increases Divine Sense after consumption, but over time, it also enhances one¡¯s perception.


    After Chen Mobai drank two kilograms, he indeed felt a difference, his thinking became much more agile than before, and he could think of various solutions that he never would have before, so he didn¡¯t hesitate to spend his Spirit Stones.


    As a Rank-3 Spiritual Tea, this Snow Needle Immortal Bud is expensive, costing 500 Spirit Stones per ounce.


    And not just anyone is qualified to buy it.


    Last time, Yuan Hongyuan had to trade three Immortal Peach fruits for two kilograms, but all of it ended up benefitting Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai is definitely a qualified person.


    Bai Dingxian personally welcomed him and after hearing that he wanted to buy Snow Needle Immortal Bud, he could only reluctantly bring out one kilogram.


    ¡°Younger brother, it¡¯s not that I won¡¯t give, but there is really only so much stock left.¡±


    Chen Mobai wanted to buy more, but Bai Dingxian explained with a bitter smile that their Bai family only has three thousand-year-old tea trees, each year they can produce just over three kilograms of Snow Needle Immortal Bud.


    Among these, they have to offer two kilograms to the two elders of the Divine Wood Sect, the rest is the Bai family¡¯s stock.


    And the remaining stock, the Bai family will exchange for Spiritual Objects not found in the Eastern Wilderness with Star Heaven Commercial Union and others, or even carry them to the Eastern Yi Territory to exchange for Foundation Building Pills.


    wuxiaworld.site


    The stock of Bai family over the years is actually only about three to four kilograms.


    The current kilogram is Bai Dingxian¡¯s own private stock.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai looked enlightened.


    For this kilogram of Snow Needle Immortal Bud, he paid 8000 Spirit Stones.


    He originally wanted to exchange for more high-quality spirit stones, but Bai Dingxian bitterly said that the Bai family¡¯s account now only has two left, they need to keep them to start the family¡¯s and market¡¯s array, they really cannot exchange them.


    Chen Mobai also expressed his understanding.


    After leaving the Bai family, he did not delay and went straight back to Divine Wood Sect.


    The next day, he took the shyly presented armour from Luo Yixuan and declared that he was closing off from the outside once again.


    ¡°Brother, how do you feel about this upgrade plan?¡±


    In the Flying Sky Talisman Factory, Chen Mobai handed over his upgrade blueprint for the Five Elements Umbrella to Luan Jingsheng to check.


    Luan Jingsheng, as the first maker of this talisman tool, interned at the Flying Sky Talisman Factory last year, and thanks to his solid foundation in talisman crafting, he easily became the backbone of the company¡¯s technology even though he is only a Rank-1 Talisman Maker.


    Even through the talisman tool practice exercises of Flying Sky Talisman Factory, he solidified his foundation and broadened his perspective, and passed the assessment of Rank-1 Artifact Refiner at the end of the year.


    Chen Mobai thinks Luan Jingsheng is a talented person that can be nurtured, if he can cross the threshold of Foundation Establishment, Chen has even thought about giving him some shares of the Flying Sky Talisman Factory, so he can oversee the quality control of Rank-2 talisman paper and talisman ink in the future.


    However, when Chen Mobai used Luan Jingsheng¡¯s personal panel to import into the Foundation Treasure prediction, he discovered that his chances of reaching Foundation Establishment are not high.


    But they¡¯re friends after all, so every time Chen Mobai comes back, whether it¡¯s for drawing talismans or upgrading and refining the Five Elements Umbrella, he would call him over to teach by example.


    ¡°My realm is low and I can¡¯t detect any problems.¡±


    Although Luan Jingsheng is a dual-profession Rank-1 Talisman Maker and Artifact Refiner, he is very humble in front of the Foundation Establishment cultivator, Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I¡¯m not good at Artifact Refining and I need your help.¡±


    Chen Mobai studied treasure appraisal at the Daoist Academy, and the Talisman Crafting Department also has content related to talisman tools, so this time he had the confidence to personally start refining the Five Elements Umbrella.


    After all, this Five Elements Umbrella is a Talisman Tool.


    Talisman Tools are Magical Artifacts that carry talismans, and even though they¡¯re classified under Magical Artifacts, their actual power relies heavily on the talismans that are drawn and adhered to them. They are easy to operate and are favored by Qi Practitioners.


    Above Talisman Tools, there¡¯s a powerful type of talisman called ¡°Legal Treasures¡±.


    Talisman Tools rely on the power of the talismans they carry, while Legal Treasures use talismans to contain the essence of Magical Artifacts. Once triggered, they would explode with all the power of the Magical Artifacts in an instant, displaying colossal and magnificent power.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, only the life treasure of a Gold Core cultivator can be refined into a Legal Treasure.


    But in the sect, there¡¯s a special method, as long as it¡¯s a Rank-2 or above Magical Artifact, it can be turned into a Legal Treasure.


    However, every Legal Treasure made permanently loses a Magical Artifact, this wasteful behavior is naturally not allowed in the frugal sect.


    But if a Magical Artifact loses its rank after not being nourished by spiritual energy for a long time after its master¡¯s death, the sect would allow it to be refined into a Legal Treasure.


    For instance, in the Treasure Trove of the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, even with the power of the Device Nurturing Sphere and the mighty Fire Vein, every few decades a batch of Magical Artifacts would lose their spiritual light, having been left unchosen.

    After all, the Dance Tool Daoist Academy only takes in so many people each year. Even if each one was able to reach Foundation Establishment and enter the Treasure Trove, there would only be a few hundred artifacts taken every decade.


    And the Treasure Trove contains almost all the Magical Artifacts of thousands of graduates from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy, there are tens of thousands of Rank-2 ones alone.


    In fact, the Dance Tool Daoist Academy is doing its best to give out Magical Artifacts.


    Everyone who reaches Foundation Establishment is given one, and for prodigies like Chen Mobai and Zuo Qiushi, they are even given Rank-3 Magical Artifacts.


    Even the Rank-4 True Dragon Ding was very freely lent to Bian Jingchun.

    Chapter 662: Chapter 411: Thoughts_2


    Even with the vast resources of Dance Tool Dao Academy, it is challenging to nurture so many magic artifacts.


    Every now and then, Duanmu Longrong would lead the Talisman Master students to transform those magic artifacts whose spiritual power has become extremely weak, nearing the point of degradation, into talisman treasures.


    However, even so, there are still many magic artifacts in the Treasure Trove that remain untouched and ultimately turn into scrap iron.


    As a genius of the Talisman Department, Chen Mobai also heard about this.


    However, in recent years, due to his Void Spirit Eye, he could accurately scrutinize the reality of the Device Nurturing Sphere, thus making the academy students more enthusiastic about using the device pieces.


    Hence, Duanmu Longrong decided to postpone the time for making talisman treasures by two years due to the substantial consumption of the Device Nurturing Sphere.


    After all, the Five-Transform Umbrella is only a Rank-1 talisman device. With the joint effort of Chen Mobai and Luan Jingsheng and the guiding principle of tackling the difficult before the easy, Tao Hua Evil was refined into it in half a month.


    On the umbrella surface, initially filled with numerous spiritual patterns, there is now an additional image of peach blossoms falling.


    When the umbrella is unfolded and spiritual power is infused, pink miasma begins to gush out.


    The spreading miasma can cause cultivators to become dizzy and agitated, and if one stays in it for a long time, their energy can seriously decline and suffer significant damage to their elemental energy.


    ¡°You have worked hard,¡± Chen Mobai said. He is not an actual artifact refiner, so most of the detailed work had been done by Luan Jingsheng.


    ¡°It was a rare opportunity for hands-on practice, I should be the one thanking you,¡± Luan Jingsheng replied.


    After upgrading the Five-Transformation Umbrella again, Luan Jingsheng gazed somewhat fondly at this artifact of his, seemingly reluctant to part with it.


    wuxiaworld.site


    ¡°By the way, the quality of the Jade Talisman Paper we produced last year wasn¡¯t up to scratch, and half of it was returned. Do you have any good suggestions?¡± Chen Mobai asked Luan Jingsheng about his Flying Sky Talisman Factory.


    ¡°The paper is Rank-2 after all. Director Pan is proficient in his craft, but he used to rely on Boss Wu for quality control. Suddenly entrusting him with such responsibility definitely requires a period of adjustment,¡± was Luan Jingsheng¡¯s reply.


    Chen Mobai remembered Pan Kaiqiang, the workshop director of the Flying Sky Talisman Factory, as a committed worker.


    However, they still needed to recruit someone skilled in creating talisman paper and talisman ink.


    Chen Mobai had initially intended to train Luan Jingsheng into a Rank-2 Talisman Maker, but he was set to graduate next year. If he fails in his Foundation Establishment, he will have to serve in the army as per the laws of the immortal sects.


    Chen Mobai has no plans to nurture someone only to utilize them ten years later.


    ¡°Do you know anyone who could be referred to the company, for instance, a Rank-2 Talisman Maker from your institute?¡± Chen Mobai asked Luan Jingsheng again.


    Luan Jingsheng indeed knew a few, but they were all already Chief Advisors in several Talisman Factories or had started their own businesses to earn Good Deed Points for Foundation Establishment resources.


    Regarding the Foundation Establishment cultivators who are talisman makers in Cinnabarite Institute, they were all just like Chen Mobai and had started their own factories.


    After bidding farewell to Luan Jingsheng, Chen Mobai remembered the Wood Spirit Talisman Shop owner he had interacted with previously. The shopkeeper was capable of refining Rank-2 Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talismans, implying he was a Rank-2 Talisman Maker. Chen Mobai wondered if he would be willing to give up his online shop business to work here.


    Chen Mobai made an inquiry but was immediately rejected by the shopkeeper.


    After all, the shopkeeper was also a boss and it was understandable that he did not like to be an employee.


    Although regretful, Chen Mobai understood.


    Back in his workshop, he took out the leather armor given by Luo Yixuan.


    Sine his little disciple practiced Blackwater Cultivation, he decided to incorporate the Water Elemental Shield into its spiritual patterns.


    First, he modeled it on the computer, then he applied the spiritual patterns of the transformed spells on the leather armor model. After confirming he could draw it completely, Chen Mobai simulated it twice more in his mind before finally taking out his Tian Shu Talisman Brush set to grind the ink and start drawing.


    It was much simpler than upgrading the Five-Transformation Umbrella.


    Sealing the Dark Water was a bit troublesome, but under his Rank-2 Talisman Maker skills, it was successfully formed.


    Admiring the shiny, waving-like spiritual patterns on the leather armor, Chen Mobai nodded contentedly.


    The power of this Water Elemental Shield had reached the peak of Rank-1. Even if encountering ordinary Rank-2 Technique Law, it could resist for a moment.


    Given Chen Mobai¡¯s attainment, it was not impossible to directly upgrade it to the Rank-2 level, especially considering the raw material of the leather armor was a Rank-2 beast¡¯s skin, which could be used as Rank-2 Talisman Paper.


    But once Luo Yixuan activated it, it would consume nearly fifty percent of her spiritual power, which would be a loss for her.


    By keeping the Water Elemental Shield at Rank-1, Luo Yixuan, after practicing several times, could control it at will and the consumption of spiritual power was also minimal.

    For Qi Practitioners, having more Rank-2 talismans was not necessarily better, one or two would suffice.


    Even Chen Mobai had only one Rank-3 magic artifact.


    After upgrading his two disciples¡¯ magic artifacts, it was time for the New Year celebration.


    At the warm New Year¡¯s dinner, Chen Mobai presented the Five Metal Elemental Stones he had previously purchased at the Star Heaven Auction to his cousin, Wang Xinying. It was a belated gift for her admission into the Taiyuan Academy.


    ¡°Thank you, brother. You are so good to me!¡± exclaimed Wang Xinying, her face beautiful and skin white as jade. After receiving the Five Metal Elemental Stones from Chen Mobai, she played with them affectionately. Upon infusing it with her spiritual power, the artifact embryo began to transform according to her Divine Sense.

 Chapter 663 - Chapter 663: Chapter 411 Thoughts_3

    Chapter 663: Chapter 411 Thoughts_3


    In a short while, she began to giggle as she shaped the five-metal elemental stone into tiny statues of their family, creating a happy family scene.


    ¡°How¡¯s Primordial Elemental Academy? Have you had any insights about the threshold techniques?¡±


    After all, she was his younger sister and Chen Mobai cared about her.


    ¡°It is alright. But you know what, brother? You are super famous at our academy. I dare not let them know I¡¯m your sister.¡±


    Listening to this, Chen Mobai smiled slightly. He had some inkling of his own reputation at the Daoist Academy.


    In this era, he was undoubtedly the top student in the college.


    In Little Red Sky, he had suppressed a lot of talents from the Primordial Elemental Academy.


    His invincible title had been truly hard-fought and won.


    After the New Year, Chen Mobai left Red Sandstone City.


    Since many old classmates hadn¡¯t returned this year, especially Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai, after dealing with the affairs of his two factories, didn¡¯t waste time there.


    His main concern was Meng Huang, who was laid up in hospital.


    However, before leaving, he had his mother post a job advertisement on Red Sandstone City¡¯s talent website, hoping to find a Rank-2 Talisman Master who could control the quality of the Rank-2 talisman paper in the flying talisman factory.


    Anyway, when it was time for the interviews, if he had time, he would come back. If he didn¡¯t have time, a video interview would do just fine.


    wuxiaworld.site Novts`O.co


    After returning to Crimson City, Chen Mobai visited Meng Huang in the hospital.


    She was looking much better, her facial color had mostly returned to normal. The doctor said she could be discharged in about a week¡¯s time.


    All she needed then was to recuperate at home and recover her elemental energy.


    ¡°You came?¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai enter, Meng Huang, who was reading in her hospital bed, greeted him with a bright smile.


    ¡°Yeah, how are you feeling?¡±


    ¡°I feel fine now, but the doctors want to observe me for a few more days.¡±


    After discussing recent events, Chen Mobai noticed that Meng Huang was holding the original copy of the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret, which he had given her. He couldn¡¯t help but ask if she had had any insights.


    Unfortunately, Meng Huang shook her head sadly.


    ¡°Did the Lone Ranger respond?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked about this as well. He still needed to wait another week for the doctor¡¯s appointment he had requested for Tian Wenguang.


    ¡°He did respond, but he said that his method involved personal privacy and couldn¡¯t be revealed to me.¡±


    Listening to Meng Huang, Chen Mobai nodded in understanding. Tian Wenguang¡¯s method of practicing the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret Technique certainly shouldn¡¯t be widely shared.


    So he didn¡¯t have much confidence in the subject of the consultation, guessing that the latter might be upset after hearing the question.


    Nonetheless, it was worth a try.


    ¡°However, it seems that this Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret Technique is only suitable for male cultivators like you.¡±


    Unexpectedly, Meng Huang¡¯s face flushed slightly as she said something that surprised Chen Mobai. However, he quickly recovered and began to explain seriously.


    ¡°This technique originally belongs to the ancient Daoist lineage of True Yang Sect. It was created by the founding ancestor of True Yang, and once practiced, one¡¯s vital essence remains unabated, preserving one¡¯s Original Yang forever.¡±


    ¡°The True Yang Sect is a practice sect for men, so there¡¯s no equivalent for preserving Original Yin.¡±


    ¡°However, I think that the theories should be the same. It¡¯s just that the practice may need to be different due to the differences between men and women. But how to modify it precisely would still need consultation with a professional.¡±


    Though Chen Mobai knew Tian Wenguang¡¯s method of practicing the Golden Barrier Secret Technique, he still needed to consult with him, as Meng Huang could not follow his method exactly.

    However, at this time, Chen Mobai suddenly had a bold idea.


    Since he had successfully practiced the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret Technique and no longer had to worry about the loss of original Yang, could he help Meng Huang understand it through multiple attempts?


    Why did he think of that just now?


    Was it because he had drunk too much Snow Needle Immortal Bud and broadened his mind?


    Chen Mobai stared at his sudden idea in utter confusion.

 Chapter 664 - Chapter 664: Chapter 412: Turning over (10k)_1

    Chapter 664: Chapter 412: Turning over (10k)_1


    After leaving the hospital, Chen Mobai returned to the Daoist Academy.


    Zhongli Tianyu had matured a lot. He stayed with the student council last year without going back home, and handled many affairs very capably in Chen Mobai¡¯s stead.


    He is a true genius; there are only things he does not want to do, there¡¯s nothing he cannot do.


    After visiting the student council, Chen Mobai naturally went to greet Che Yucheng.


    Beyond expressing his respect for his teacher, his main aim was to inquire about the progress of the Purple Electric Sword issue.


    ¡°Shan-Hai College has capable people. They actually made the Purple Electric Sword a condition for recruiting new students. They announced that the students enrolling this year will have a chance to obtain this Rank-4 sword artifact,¡± Che Yucheng admired when discussing the matter.


    Because the Purple Electric Sword was originally destined to be given away, Shan-Hai College used this sword artifact to its fullest. This year, the new students¡¯ resources of Shan-Hai College were ranked first among the Ten Great Academies, even far ahead of others.


    The talented individuals who failed to make it into the top four Daoist Academies have basically listed Shan-Hai College as their first choice.


    ¡°Qi Practitioners probably won¡¯t be favored by the Purple Electric Sword,¡± Chen Mobai said aloud after hearing this, but deep down he was slightly worried in case some peerless Sword Cultivation Genius emerged out of nowhere.


    ¡°It¡¯s not necessarily the case. But the principle and several senior council members had a verbal agreement that even if the Purple Electric Sword chooses its master ahead of time, you and several others will be allowed to try it out last,¡± Che Yucheng explained, saying that Chen Mobai and several other Core Formation cultivators related to the ownership of the Purple Electric Sword were guaranteed to be in the final round.


    If the Purple Electric Sword still chose an outsider after comparing, then they would follow the rules of the Immortal Sect; nobody could complain.


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt slightly relieved.


    After all, over the years his spiritual root talent has improved to the level of a genius. The value of his fire spiritual roots was just a digit away from becoming a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    Moreover, he also possesses the Rank-3 Perfect Yi Wood Divine Thunder, which indeed goes well with the two main attributes of the Purple Electric Sword.


    After leaving Che Yucheng¡¯s, Chen Mobai returned to his wooden house.


    He used the Turtle Treasure to teleport to Xiao Nanshan and returned the upgraded Five Elements Umbrella and armor to his two disciples.


    ¡°Thank you, master.¡±


    Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan, both felt the powerful change in the magic artifacts, and their faces lit up with joy.


    ¡°Recently, there have been no major events in our sect, right?¡±


    ¡°There has been occasional friction with cultivators from Shake Mountain in Lei Nation. The sect leader sent quite a few of the Foundation Establishment elders to assist Uncle Zhou. This might trigger a major conflict between our sects again,¡± Luo Yixuan discussed a recent, hot topic. Given that Meng Hong failed to form his core lasy year ¨C in part due to Ji Zhenshi exposing his hidden power ¨C it¡¯s certain these elders hold a grudge.


    Considering the customs of the Eastern Wilderness, another conflict is likely.


    But this time, if they formally arrange for a battle, it might not be as easy as catching Ji Zhenshi off-guard that one time.


    The Divine Wood Sect has enemies all over Eastern Wilderness, with Golden Cliff as its only ally.


    If they really go to war with Shake Mountain again, not only do they have to consider Ji Zhenshi and South Dao Master, but also the Five Elements Sect and the elusive Netherworld Path Ghost Cultivators.


    Even Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace, which have long remained neutral, would likely kick the Divine Wood Sect while it¡¯s down if they notice it¡¯s waning.


    If they go to war, Chen Mobai believes that their best strategy is to fight swiftly.


    However, the sect¡¯s strategy ultimately depends on the two elder¡¯s will, and all Chen Mobai can do is be prepared for war.


    Being recognised as the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s top sword cultivator, second only to the two seniors in battle power, and having become a well-known figure in Eastern Wilderness, he certainly couldn¡¯t stay at the sect to defend it.


    Once the war starts, with the Sect Leader Chu Zuoshu unable to go into action, Chen Mobai would have to shoulder the heavy responsibility.


    He might even have to lead the entire battlefront directly.


    After all, here in Eastern Wilderness, seniority doesn¡¯t matter; only strength does.


    Thinking of this, Chen Mobai instructed Luo Yixuan to be ready for war at all times. Of the three disciples, she is the most quick-witted and gives Chen Mobai the most peace of mind.


    If she could get some practical experience on the battlefront between the two sects, it would be very helpful for her last step of forming a foundation, spirit sense leaving the body.


    Moreover, Chen Mobai being present would guarantee her safety.


    ¡°Master, there¡¯s also another issue. There are signs of a demonic beast wave at Yunmeng Great Marsh again. Elder Fu took a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Penalty Evil Hall to suppress it,¡± Luo Yixuan added.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but recall his experience at Yunmeng Great Marsh.


    If he hadn¡¯t had the Turtle Treasure to transport him, he would have likely died on Green Light Island.


    As the number one holy land in the Eastern Wilderness, Yunmeng Great Marsh is the Holy Land of countless cultivators, and the burial place for many Loose Cultivators.

    ¡°There is a mysterious ruin discovered within the borders of Snow Country; there seem to be Devil Cultivators active in Mist Country, lots of loose cultivators have died horribly, their bodies drained of all essence; and Back to Sky Valley is about to refine a Rank-4 elixir and is still short of three types of thousand-year-old medicinal ingredients, they are currently collecting from the whole Eastern Wilderness¡­¡±


    Luo Yixuan talked about the major events that happened in different parts of the Eastern Wilderness recently, and Chen Mobai admired her attention to detail.


    However, for the Divine Wood Sect, what they probably care about the most is the war with Shake Mountain.


    Chen Mobai stayed in Xiao Nanshan for two days.


    During this time, he also took Luo Yixuan to visit Divine Wood City, where they paid their respects to the sect leader Chu Zuoshu and a series of other Foundation Establishment elders in the sect, and brought them some newly brewed Spiritual Wine.

 Chapter 665 - Chapter 665: Chapter 412: Turning Back (10k)_2

    Chapter 665: Chapter 412: Turning Back (10k)_2


    During their drink, Chu Zuoshu indeed hinted to him to prepare. If a war began with Mountain Shaker Peak, the older generation like Fu intended for Chen Mobai to be the main general on their sect¡¯s side.


    Many Foundation Establishment cultivators came to visit Chen Mobai too.


    For example, Yue Zutao, Yuan Chiye, Yan Jinye, Mu Yuan.


    After deepening their relationships a bit, Chen Mobai returned to Xiao Nanshan with Luo Yixuan.


    The day for his online consultation with Tian Wenguang arrived quickly.


    As many patients had private issues, the platform allowed for anonymity. Chen Mobai considered this and chose to consult anonymously to avoid potential rejection and ensuing embarrassment.


    Tian Wenguang: [Hello, I am Dr. Tian from Baizhu Hospital.]


    On the consultation chat platform, Tian Wenguang logged in and introduced himself. His profile picture was of him, a tall and skinny man in a white doctor¡¯s coat.


    Chen Mobai: [Hello Dr. Tian, I would like to inquire about some issues regarding Yuan Yang.]


    Research regarding Yuan Yang was indeed categorized under men¡¯s health in the cultivation world. Thus, there was no problem with Chen Mobai¡¯s line of inquiry.


    Tian Wenguang: [Please go ahead.]


    Chen Mobai: [Here¡¯s the thing, I practiced to completion the Ancient Method Jade Lock Golden Secrets in order to understand the boundary technique. However, I currently have a girlfriend who often insinuates that we could go further. As my Yuan Yang is locked, does that mean I won¡¯t be able to experience sexual pleasure?]


    Tian Wenguang: [Sir, here¡¯s the thing, you probably don¡¯t have a deep understanding of Yuan Yang. Yuan Yang is a type of Innate Qi stored deep within your body. Normally, if you stimulate yourself, it won¡¯t consume Yuan Yang. Only during the process of intercourse, with the correct positioning and postures, will your Yuan Yang be stimulated by the Original Yin. However, since you have cultivated the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret, even normal sexual behavior will not cause the Yuan Yang to be stimulated. You can just enjoy the process as normal. To put it simply, it¡¯s as if you¡¯ve had a vasectomy. Even though you can enjoy the pleasure of sex, the downside is that you won¡¯t be able to have offspring.]


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Chen Mobai: [Oh, is that really so? But my parents are pushing us and have mentioned several times that they want to have grandchildren. What should I do?]


    Tian Wenguang: [If you really want to have children, then you either have to ruin your own cultivation or take the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret to the next level, where you can control its activation at will.]


    Chen Mobai: [Dr. Tian, here¡¯s the thing. I practice the cultivation of Pure Yang Scroll, and retaining Yuan Yang is more beneficial for my Cultivation Technique. So, is it possible for me to have children without releasing Yuan Yang?]


    Tian Wenguang: [Sir, it seems I need to provide you with a briefing on the knowledge of conception.]


    Tian Wenguang: [Every individual carries Innate Qi within them while in the fetal membrane. However, after being born into the worldly world, they are left with only Innate Yuan Yang and Original Yin. These two types of Innate Qi are key to nurturing life. Yin alone won¡¯t conceive, Yang alone won¡¯t grow. Therefore, it is only when Yuan Yang and Original Yin meet and combine during intercourse, that a new life can be nurtured in the fetal membrane.]


    Tian Wenguang: [So if you want to have offspring, you have to give up your Yuan Yang.]


    After listening to Tian Wenguang¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai had an epiphany. Normally, his actions would not consume Yuan Yang.


    It is only during intercourse that Yuan Yang would be attracted by Original Yin and life could be conceived.


    But he was certain that he would not sacrifice his Yuan Yang for Meng Huang, and moreover, he intended to use Meng Huang¡¯s Original Yin to help his Divine Sense breakthrough to the Golden Dan Level when he reaches the Perfection stage of his Foundation Establishment.


    After some thought, Chen Mobai articulated another query.


    Chen Mobai: [Dr. Tian, although my parents desire grandchildren, my girlfriend and I feel that we are still young and want to prioritize our Cultivation Level. I have successfully established my foundation and also mastered the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret to lock my Yuan Yang during intercourse. However, my girlfriend is merely a Qi Practitioner and I¡¯m afraid that her Original Yin might be prematurely stimulated during intercourse. Would this situation prevent us from conceiving in the future when we want a child?]


    Chen Mobai began to lead the discussion gradually. True to his profession as a men¡¯s health doctor, Tian Wenguang provided confident responses.


    Tian Wenguang: [It is possible. Generally speaking, when a female cultivator¡¯s Original Yin is stimulated and fails to merge with Yuan Yang, it returns to the fetal membrane. However, this repetitive process may consume Original Yin bit by bit. So if you have plans for having children, you may want to consider this.]

    In the ancient times, there were numerous crooked cultivators who exploited this principle to practice Yin harvesting Yang and Yang harvesting Yin techniques.


    Chen Mobai: [Dr. Tian, there is another embarrassing problem. My method of cultivation of the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret is a bit special. Initially, I suddenly comprehended the principle of locking while I was manually stimulating myself. I was thinking, can my girlfriend also achieve comprehension in this way so that we can both lock our energies? This way we can enjoy intercourse without worrying about the issues mentioned above.]


    Tian Wenguang: [¡­]


    Upon reading Chen Mobai¡¯s message, Tian Wenguang seemed to be unable to control his emotions and responded with a row of ellipses, dumbstruck.


    Tian Wenguang: [Sir, I consider myself quite knowledgeable about the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret and think no one in the cultivation world would know more than me about this Cultivation Technique. But after meeting you, I realize there are always people who are better.]

 Chapter 666 - Chapter 666: Chapter 412: Turning Over (10k)_3

    Chapter 666: Chapter 412: Turning Over (10k)_3


    Tian Wenguang finally couldn¡¯t resist expressing some of his opinions, and Chen Mobai smiled faintly when he saw his reply. He finally managed to redirect the consultation towards the topics he was curious about.


    Chen Mobai: [Dr. Tian, do you think my idea will work?]


    Tian Wenguang: [Theoretically, it should work, but given that the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret leans more towards Male Dao Practice, even with your approach, it might not be easy. I recommend putting it into practice for tangible results.]


    Chen Mobai: [Dr. Tian, didn¡¯t you say, that with practice, even if I could hold the Original Yang, my girlfriend¡¯s Original Yin might still be depleted in the process over time. Won¡¯t that be a loss given what we¡¯ve achieved?]


    Tian Wenguang: [Sir, I can tell you are quite prudent with your personal life. Since you¡¯ve approached me, it must be fate. I¡¯ll give you a hint. To attract and meld Original Yin and Original Yang, it needs to be done in the right position¡­]


    After the consultation, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but admire Tian Wenguang.


    Indeed, each has his own field of expertise. With his guidance, Chen Mobai finally had a complete idea of how Meng Huang should practice the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret.


    However, he was a bit reluctant to broach the subject.


    While Chen Mobai was thinking, Meng Huang sent him a message.


    She was discharged from the hospital today and had returned to her villa atop the mountain. To express her gratitude to Chen Mobai, she invited him over for a meal.


    After some consideration, Chen Mobai decided to completely reveal this matter to Meng Huang. Whether she wanted to adopt this approach to practice the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret would be up to her.


    He took a pot of spiritual wine newly brewed by Zhuo Ming and leisurely flew to the mountain.


    He flew in from the balcony, Meng Huang seemed to be in the kitchen preparing. Upon hearing the noise, she came out wearing a blue and white apron.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Since she was at home, she was wearing flip-flops, revealing her pearly glistening toes.


    Seeing Chen Mobai, she smiled charmingly and placed the delicate dish in her hand on the dining table in the living room.


    ¡°You¡¯re here.¡±


    ¡°Yes, this is the spiritual wine from my hometown, to celebrate your returning home.¡±


    Meng Huang bent her graceful waist and nodded her thanks to Chen Mobai. After that, she took the spiritual wine and placed it on the glass table on the balcony.


    ¡°My cooking skills are not that great, hope you don¡¯t mind.¡±


    Soon, the two of them sat down. Meng Huang cooked four dishes and a soup. After Chen Mobai tasted it, he felt they were no less than those of experienced chefs.


    ¡°It¡¯s delicious, thank you for the hospitality.¡±


    After they finished eating, Chen Mobai put down his chopsticks. Meng Huang blushingly nodded her head, then used the Cleaning Technique to clean up the table.


    The two of them moved onto the balcony and sat down.


    Meng Huang took the initiative to bring out two glass cups. She opened the small pot of spiritual wine that Chen Mobai had brought. The liquor was clear and slightly green.


    This was made by Zhuo Ming using discarded Green Jade Spirit Rice. Although it was Rank-1, it was considered top-notch.


    Due to the Green Jade Spirit Rice being found in the Eastern Wilderness, it was abundant with spiritual energy; it had a rich taste that was rather strong.


    Meng Huang took a sip, and her snow-white cheeks blushed. Her eyes began to blur, and the pupils of her eyes, which were slightly tipsy, were filled with shimmering light and captivating charm.


    ¡°Good wine.¡±


    Although Meng Huang didn¡¯t know much about wine, she could taste the spiritual energy contained within. As a Qi Practitioner, this was the best wine for her.


    ¡°About the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret, I have consulted my friend from the Imperial Medical Academy.¡±


    After taking a sip, Chen Mobai felt that the atmosphere was just right for discussing the matter. After choosing his words carefully, he discussed what he had conversed with Tian Wenguang about in the presence of Meng Huang¡¯s expectant gaze.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Meng Huang, being an innocent girl got embarrassed after hearing half of it, her cheeks turned crimson and her eyes were filled with shyness.


    But her eyes were still fixed on Chen Mobai, afraid of missing a single word.


    ¡°Practice leads to true knowledge. Try holding back at the peak of your physical sensations, experiencing the sensation of restraint. If one day you can control it freely, then the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret is almost accomplished.¡±


    After Chen Mobai had finished, Meng Huang was blushing with embarrassment. Even though she had signed a contract to devote herself to him after Foundation Establishment, when the matter of physical intimacy was explicitly discussed, she felt bashful.


    ¡°How could I possibly hold back!¡±


    She couldn¡¯t help but lowering her voice to comment.


    Good heavens! Although she had accidentally seen some related content, she was essentially a diligent student deeply devoted to her cultivation. And should things develop in that way, she felt she would definitely lose her composure.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, nobody can hold back in the beginning. But I can lock up my Original Yang, as long as you do not release the Original Yin, the process for us would merely be normal enjoyment.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai earnestly retold the knowledge he had just learned from Tian Wenguang.


    ¡°How can I not release my Original Yin during that process?¡±


    Meng Huang lowered her head and avoided Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze, speaking these words almost in a whisper.


    ¡°Check and balance between Original Yin and Original Yang will definitely happen at the placenta, as long as you avoid making contact there, even if you can¡¯t bear to hold back for a moment, you won¡¯t release the Original Yin.¡±


    After Chen Mobai earnestly imparted the final point that Tian Wenguang had given him, Meng Huang raised her somewhat puzzled head.

 Chapter 667 - Chapter 667: Chapter 412: Turned Around (10k)_4

    Chapter 667: Chapter 412: Turned Around (10k)_4


    Her snow-white skin was set off by her rosy cheeks, made even more alluring after a few drinks, giving off an intoxicatingly charming aura.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Meng Huang was a little confused about the last sentence Chen Mobai said. Chen Mobai quietly cleared his throat, casting a glance at her curvaceous hips slanted on the couch.


    At first, she was baffled, but after a moment her face turned red with sudden understanding.


    When Chen Mobai said his goodbyes, there was still a blush on Meng Huang¡¯s cheeks.


    Because the method he proposed was quite shocking, she needed some time to digest and evaluate it.


    Chen Mobai was understanding of this.


    So, he graciously excused himself, allowing Meng Huang some time to think things over.


    However, he immediately put that matter aside.


    Because his cultivation level was about to break through.


    Last year, when Yuan Hongyuan and the others had tried to ambush him, he had ended up with a bunch of Immortal Peach fruits. After taking them, he broke through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment in one fell swoop.


    Since Chen Mobai¡¯s Dantian Qi Sea had been expanded to the state of Perfection by the Tree Fruit, there were no bottlenecks to speak of before Core Formation.


    Last year, he had been diligently practicing and consuming Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, and finally this year, he had accumulated enough Liquid Pure Yang Spiritual Power to be on the verge of another breakthrough.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Chen Mobai rented a room in Building Nine, borrowed Yunyang Bing¡¯s Spirit Gathering Array, with an adequate supply of Spirit Stones, meditated for three days and nights. He easily entered the sixth level of the Pure Yang Scroll Foundation Establishment Realm.


    Originally, according to his estimates, progressing one level per year, he might not have been able to break through to level seven of Foundation Establishment by his graduation.


    Because from level six to seven of Foundation Establishment, the amount of Liquid Spiritual Power required increased by one and a half times. Even with sufficient Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, it would still take a year and a half.


    But now, because of the Immortal Peach fruits, he was confident of achieving that.


    Graduating at level seven of Foundation Establishment would do justice to his title as the first Seat of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the premier candidate amongst university students in this era of the Immortal Sect.


    With this in mind, Chen Mobai began to wonder how long it would take for Meng Huang to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment.


    If they used Core Formation materials from the Immortal Sect, he would have to wait at least another sixty years. With that much time, Meng Huang would undoubtedly reach the peak of Foundation Establishment.


    But Chen Mobai felt that given the situation in the Eastern Wilderness, they might not have that luxury of time.


    With an ample amount of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, and his help, it should take Meng Huang about twenty to thirty years to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment.


    However, considering she was potentially capable of playing the Shocking God Sonata as a Mysterious Sound Dao Seed, once she successfully establishes her foundation, the Immortal Sect would definitely support her. Even after graduating, things like Barrier Breaking Pills could probably be obtained, she should be able to reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment within twenty years.


    If all else fails, he could try to get another set of Tree Fruits, although he wasn¡¯t sure if the Mystic Sound Method was compatible with this type of spiritual object.


    Chen Mobai had indeed been planning to get another set, as he was considering that his first Core Formation attempt might fail, and he would need a second chance.


    But when forming his core, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power would completely consume the Longevity Spiritual Power. If he wanted to attempt the Core Formation again, he would need to re-cultivate the Dual-Phase Technique and Longevity Scripture.


    There¡¯s a shortcut to this ¨C consuming another set of Tree Fruits would allow him to regain the Longevity Spiritual Power at the perfection level of Foundation Establishment.


    In this case, he would need to start considering materials for Core Formation.


    He couldn¡¯t reveal his identity on the Immortal Sect side, so he could only collect medicinal herbs in the Eastern Wilderness and then find someone to refine them.


    But who to ask?


    Creating a Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill is a Rank-4 task, which would require at least a True Person after Core Formation.


    During his contemplation, Chen Mobai packed up the spent Spirit Stones and Yunyang Bing¡¯s Gathering Array from around him.


    After coming out of seclusion, as per his habit, he got together with the people from the Metaphysical Class in the Daoist Academy.


    However, fewer and fewer people showed up.


    Ming Yuhua was taken away again by the director of the Refining Implement Department. He said he was going to repair a large-scale magical instrument for the Immortal Sect¡¯s military division.


    Neither Wang Xingyu and Gong Ranran had returned. Apparently, they were meeting their parents, the elders on both sides were very satisfied, and they were already discussing about getting married after graduation.


    Chen Mobai found this hard to comprehend.


    How can one establish a household without completing the path of cultivation first?


    He would definitely wait until after he had formed his core, or when there was no further progress in his cultivation before he would consider marriage.


    But on second thought, they were all in their ninth year now, after graduation they would have to endure sixty or even a hundred years of waiting for Core Formation materials. It does seem pretty lonely to be alone in such long years; having a companion doesn¡¯t sound too bad.


    Most of the people in the Metaphysical Class had already succeeded in establishing their foundations, only Jiang Zhenliang, Lu Jiaxin, Leng Weiyi, and Yan Taiwu remained.


    But they had all comprehended the brink method and were certain to succeed in reaching the stage of Foundation Establishment before graduation.

    Even so, the four who had not yet established their foundations felt an immense pressure. They vowed at this gathering that they would go into intense seclusion, and not come out until they had established their foundations.


    After finishing the spiritual wine that Chen Mobai had brought, everyone started to leave in twos and threes.


    ¡°Look!¡±


    With Ming Yuhua absent, Chen Mobai could only split the bill with Yunyang Bing. The latter¡¯s normally aloof face seemed a bit happy today as he showed Chen Mobai his right ring finger. The nail had turned light green in color.


    ¡°Did you refine the array into your body again?¡±

 Chapter 668 - Chapter 668: Chapter 412 Turning around (10k)_5

    Chapter 668: Chapter 412 Turning around (10k)_5


    Chen Mobai knew his friend Yunyang Bing very well and immediately realized what was happening.


    ¡°Exactly, I have refined a Rapid Formation, which will significantly speed up my movements when I am exploring the Spirit Vein.¡±


    Rapid Formation is a technique known to Celestial Sect that can reduce one¡¯s weight and enhance nerve response speed. However, it is very challenging to master, so very few people try to cultivate it.


    The fact that Yunyang Bing can integrate Array Refining into his body shows his mastery of the technique.


    ¡°Congratulations.¡±


    Naturally, Chen Mobai was happy to see his friend make progress.


    The two drank all night and only returned home at dawn.


    ¡­


    In ancient Daoist lineage, there is a tradition called Shadowless Valley.


    The disciples of this lineage can cultivate their own shadows into external avatars, making them rulers hidden in darkness.


    However, after the Celestial sect began to rule the world, Shadowless Valley did not dare to go against the trend and retreated into the mundane world.


    Leveraging the mystery of their shadowy lineage, which allowed easy prying into secrets, they established detective agencies specialized in undertaking domestic investigations involving extramarital affairs.


    In Crimson City, there was an agency established by a descendant of Shadowless Valley. The director, Lai Songqiang, was a graduate of the Starlight Institute and also a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Last year, he received an assignment from Li Yuejiao at Azure Feather Cliff, who asked him to investigate who celebrity star Meng Huang had been in close contact with during a certain period.


    Lai Songqiang was initially reluctant to deal with anyone from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, but Li Yuejiao¡¯s offer was quite generous.


    When he was still hesitating, he read about Meng Huang¡¯s Foundation Establishment failure in a newspaper.


    As a top star of the Celestial Sect, this news quickly spread everywhere.


    With popularity came both fans and haters alike. Upon Meng Huang¡¯s failure, her detractors joyously mocked her, including some students of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    They harbored a bias towards students like Meng Huang, who had entered through the back door.


    When Chen Mobai first joined the academy, he was ridiculed by Ma Xiaoming at the station over this issue, and it was because of this that he got acquainted with Meng Huang, setting the stage for future events.


    At that time, the hospitalized Meng Huang was under immense pressure.


    At the time, Chen Mobai was unaware of this; he had returned to Red Sandstone City to manage his business affairs.


    It was for this reason that Lai Songqiang felt that investigating a disgraced star, who had virtually no chance of becoming a Foundation Establishment, wouldn¡¯t pose any problems.


    After a month of thorough investigation, Lai Songqiang was finally able to identify the key person through his own channels, and from his long-term stakeout at the hospital.


    ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s him?¡±


    Through a video call, Li Yuejiao saw the photo Lai Songqiang was holding; it was Chen Mobai, who had been visiting the hospitalized Meng Huang.


    ¡°Absolutely, among the numerous visitors, only when facing him did the star¡¯s face show any sign of pleasure,¡±


    ¡°Moreover, they live close to each other. I saw him flying up from the mountainside and entering the balcony through my shadow.¡±


    ¡°You must be trying to investigate the target of Meng Huang¡¯s Equaling Heaven Art. This chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy seems to be the most suitable candidate.¡±


    As fellow ancient Daoist lineages, they all knew what each other was capable of.


    When Lai Songqiang saw Li Yuejiao¡¯s proposal, he knew what she wanted to investigate. After a brief analysis in Meng Huang¡¯s role, he determined it was Chen Mobai.


    After all, among all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and even considering the entire Celestial Sect, the young man was obviously a Great Qi Luck Holder.


    If the Equaling Heaven Art could tie to Chen Mobai, Meng Huang¡¯s chances of Foundation Establishment would greatly increase.


    ¡°If it were truly him, why did Meng Huang fail in her Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Li Yuejiao asked the most critical question. Lai Songqiang shrugged, indicating that he couldn¡¯t explain.


    ¡°How would I know? We don¡¯t emphasize Qi luck in our lineage, do we?¡±


    This rhetorical question left Li Yuejiao speechless. Indeed, even among the ancient Daoist lineages, most did not believe in Qi luck.


    ¡°When I initially chose Meng Huang, I had intentionally guided her towards Chen Mobai, the Great Qi Luck Holder. However, according to the feedback from the Equaling Heaven Art, Meng Huang had tied herself to an average Qi Luck Foundation Establishment cultivator. Where did I go wrong?¡±


    Li Yuejiao was murmuring to herself. The feedback from the Equaling Heaven Art would not be wrong, Chen Mobai was undeniably a Great Qi Luck Holder, so there must be something she didn¡¯t understand.


    Such as, Meng Huang hadn¡¯t chosen Chen Mobai.


    To confirm things, Li Yuejiao specifically asked Lai Songqiang to investigate. But the result he provided was exactly the same as her initial plan.


    The more prosperous the destined partner¡¯s Qi luck, the better the effect of Equaling Heaven Art, Meng Huang, if she wanted to have the best chance of Foundation Establishment, would definitely make every effort to get Chen Mobai.


    With Meng Huang¡¯s conditions, if she wanted to win the heart of the Chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, she would certainly have to offer up her most precious thing.

    Li Yuejiao didn¡¯t care about Meng Huang¡¯s life or death, let alone her success or failure. It did not matter to her.


    However, it was related to her plan of roping Chen Mobai into a trap.


    If Meng Huang were successful in her cultivation, the temptation of breaking through to the Golden Core Level Divine Consciousness by having intercourse with her would definitely lure Chen Mobai into the trap.


    And for Cultivators of the Pure Yang Scroll, once they lose their Yuan Yang, reaching the terrifying realm of the Yuan Yang Ancestor would be impossible.


    Li Yuejiao proudly assumed she had shattered Chen Mobai, the top Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Celestial Sect¡¯s Yuan Yang, with her simple strategy involving the pawn Meng Huang.

 Chapter 669 - Chapter 669: Chapter 412 Turn Around (10k)_6

    Chapter 669: Chapter 412 Turn Around (10k)_6


    However, this perfect plan met all sorts of unforeseen circumstances during its execution.


    The first was that Meng Huang failed her Foundation Establishment. The failure was due to her binding to a cultivator with very ordinary luck.


    But Lai Songqiang¡¯s investigation showed that the target of Meng Huang¡¯s Equaling Heaven Art was actually Chen Mobai.


    This greatly puzzled Li Yuejiao.


    ¡°This is your reward. Remember to keep this matter confidential.¡±


    Though bewildered, she stopped thinking about it. After all, Li Yuejiao felt she had done her best. At least she managed to establish a connection between Meng Huang and Chen Mobai.


    If sparks were to fly between them in the future leading to the loss of the virginity of the first Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Immortal Sect, she could likely gain quite a few resources by claiming credit at the Ascension Sect.


    ¡°Thank you for your patronage. Feel free to reach out if you need anything in the future.¡±


    Upon seeing the large sum of Good Deed Points credited to his account, Lai Songqiang could not help but cheer up. He got up, bowed towards Li Yuejiao.


    ¡°If you have the time, keep an eye on these two. I¡¯ll provide new rewards if¡­¡±


    Li Yuejiao wanted to reveal her plan before cutting the video call. Still, thinking that it involved plotting against the leader of one of the four leading Daoist Academies of the Immortal Sect, she decided it would be safer to keep it to herself and did not finish her sentence.


    ¡°What on earth is this woman scheming?¡±


    After the call ended, Lai Songqiang looked at Chen Mobai¡¯s photo on the table and frowned.


    wuxiaworld.site


    If he knew that the investigation might concern the chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, he would not have agreed to it.


    But it was too late to back off when he started investigating Chen Mobai. He had put in a lot of effort, after all.


    Luckily, there were no mishaps, and he managed to earn a hefty reward.


    However, Li Yuejiao asked him to monitor Meng Huang and Chen Mobai, something Lai Songqiang firmly decided against.


    If the successors of the ancient Daoist tradition wanted to survive in the Immortal Sect, one key was not to provoke major characters.


    Chen Mobai was hailed as the Deity Form. Although he was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator at present, he would at least become a Core Formation master in the future. Undoubtedly, he was a major character for Lai Songqiang.


    Consequently, he had no plans to earn the next stipulated reward.


    ¡­


    Chen Mobai was completely oblivious to these maneuvers of the ancients.


    At this time, he was registering for the Rank-3 Talisman Maker exam.


    A few days ago, he formally applied to the academy¡¯s administration, saying he wanted to focus on graduation and cultivation. He did not have the time and energy to handle the student council¡¯s affairs. To avoid disruption of the academy¡¯s teaching order, he recommended Zhongli Tianyu to take his place as chief while resigning his position.


    The Dean of Administration was Che Yucheng. After receiving the application, he approved and replied to it.


    He said as Zhongli Tianyu had joined the student council just a year ago, he lacked experience. He could temporarily assume the presidency this year; however, Chen Mobai should remain the public face of Dance Tool Dao Academy until the chief¡¯s position is officially handed over to Zhongli Tianyu next year.


    Usually, the student council president is also the chief, but Che Yucheng cleverly separated the two this time.


    Even though Chen Mobai did not understand why, he knew the teacher meant well and did not complain any further.


    After all, the title of chief was just a formality; it was the president of the student council who had to deal with all kinds of tedious matters.


    Zhongli Tianyu took over, and Chen Mobai¡¯s life became much more relaxed.


    His days were spent in cultivation and watching over the Spirit Rice planted at the beginning of the year in Xiao Nanshan. Even idleness became a frequent occurence.


    Chen Mobai found this leisurely life unsuitable and decided to find something to do.


    So, he chose to take the Rank-3 Talisman Maker exam.


    When he passed the Rank-2 Talisman Maker exam, at the recommendation of the three examiners including Zeng Xingfu, he joined the Talisman Maker Association.


    This association owns the most extensive Talisman data bank in the Immortal Sect. Moreover, the head of the association is Rank-5 Talisman Maker, Yu Yi, and it concentrates the essence of Talisman making in the immortal world.


    To put himself under some pressure, after completing the registration, Chen Mobai began to immerse himself in the website forum of the Talisman Maker Association, studying the ten questions for the Rank-3 Talisman test. Whenever he encountered anything he didn¡¯t understand, he would promptly ask the teachers at the academy.


    After all, the Talisman course was one of the major courses at the Dance Tool Dao Academy. As the chief with top-ranking in Talisman, he received more privileges than the average student.


    ¡°Well done. If you had been this diligent about studying, you might have already passed the Rank-3 Talisman Maker exam.¡±


    After Xu Xiu finished explaining to Chen Mobai, he had a satisfied expression on his face.


    The person who had previously failed Chen Mobai was him. Even though he was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had already passed the examination for a Rank-3 Talisman Maker. He was the most attended teacher in the Academy when it comes to fundamental talisman education.


    Seeing Chen Mobai start to study making talismans diligently in his ninth grade, he felt his aged heart comforted.


    ¡°Study hard, ask me anytime if you have any doubts. If I can¡¯t answer, I¡¯ll take you to Director Linghu. He¡¯s interested in you being a genius as well.¡±, he said.


    The director of the Talisman Department was Linghu Yanhui, a Core Formation real person, a Rank-4 Talisman Maker, who was also one of the deputy chairmen of the Talisman Makers Association.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know that he also drew attention to himself.


    However, even if he knew, he would not venture in front of this person.


    After all, his real talisman making abilities were average, and facing such a real master of the Tao of Talismans, a few questions would probably reveal that he is not a genius.


    After leaving Xu Xiu¡¯s office, Chen Mobai was planning to take a stroll to Che Yucheng¡¯s side.


    Suddenly, he received a call from Meng Huang.


    ¡°Are you free tonight?¡± she asked.


    Hearing this line, Chen Mobai hesitated in his heart. After telling Meng Huang about the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret last time, the two often texted each other, but they were tacitly silent about this matter.


    She suddenly called today, has she reconciled with herself, or is it just a simple exchange of feelings?


    ¡°Sure,¡± Chen Mobai said after thinking about it.


    ¡°Then come tonight. Just come in, I¡¯ll be waiting for you in my bedroom,¡± Meng Huang told him, her breath frantic in between her sentences. It seemed as if uttering those words had required all her strength.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt sure of something.


    But for some reason, his heart was completely calm, and there was no expectancy or excitement as expected.


    It was as natural as water flowing into a channel.


    It seemed that from the beginning, after saying those words to Meng Huang, he had anticipated this day.


    Seeing that it was still early, Chen Mobai went to Che Yucheng¡¯s office for a cup of tea.


    Late evening.


    After arriving at his small wooden house, Chen Mobai suddenly felt a bit of excitement.


    He freshened up and flew to the top of the mountain.


    After landing on the balcony, he found that the lights in the living room and bedroom were off as if Meng Huang was expressing her shyness.


    Chen Mobai slowly stepped into the living room and then walked towards the closed bedroom.


    The door was not locked, he gently twisted it open.


    After entering the bedroom, it was still pitch black, but under his Void Spirit Eye, the slender curve of her charming figure hidden under the pink quilt was easily discerned by him.


    When Chen Mobai approached the bed, Meng Huang was hiding her whole body under the quilt with her hands.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He couldn¡¯t help but grip her fair hand, and in her nervous trembling, he slowly lifted the quilt, revealing Meng Huang¡¯s rosy face.


    In the eye contact, she looked shy, her eyes liquid.


    ¡°You¡­ be gentle¡­¡± she stuttered.


    Finally, at this moment, Chen Mobai felt a surge of emotion in his heart, a curiosity for things he had never tried before.


    He lifted the entire quilt, his gaze went from top to bottom, finally landing on her round and slender fair legs, his eyes slightly red, he patted the crucial part lightly and said, ¡°Turn around.¡±

 Chapter 675 - Chapter 675: Chapter 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.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    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.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°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.

 Chapter 676 - Chapter 676: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_2

    Chapter 676: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_2


    Chen Mobai managed to find time to visit Sun Gaochang, the inspector of the Spirit Plant Division. Both belonged to Chu Zuoshu¡¯s lineage, and they communicated frankly.


    ¡°Harvesting thousands of acres of Spirit Fields each year is a tremendous burden on the workforce of the Spirit Plant Division. Furthermore, because the sect is preparing for war, all the Spirit Stones are used in the four major departments of Sword Training, Artifact Refining, Formation, and Body Forging. This year, our Spirit Plant Division budget has also been cut and allocated to them. Shi Fengping is merely using your situation as an excuse to cry poverty to the Sect Leader.¡±


    After hearing Sun Gaochang¡¯s explanation, Chen Mobai finally understood why Shi Fengping had such an attitude.


    If he did cultivate a thousand acres of Spirit Fields, and harvested two rounds of Fire Spirit Rice each year, the Spirit Plant Division would need to spend thirty thousand Spirit Stones even at market price.


    The annual budget of the Spirit Plant Division was merely one hundred thousand Spirit Stones and contributions, which this year is additionally cut by ten thousand each. If they were to spend an additional thirty thousand Spirit Stones on his end, it really would put them in a strain.


    ¡°I see.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded his understanding.


    At this point, Sun Gaochang on the opposite side showed hesitation. Considering that Chen Mobai was already a Town Guard of Jian Country and certainly one of the high-ranking officials of the Twelve Divisions and Three Halls in the future, he decided to reveal some of the unspoken internal rules.


    ¡°Chen, although I¡¯m the inspector of the Spirit Plant division, most of the authority within the department rests with Shi Fengping and Jin Shanping.¡±


    ¡°Typically, five percent of the budget allocated for the division will end up in our hands through various methods.¡±


    ¡°The release of your thirty thousand Spirit Stones equates to a loss of thousands of Spirit Stones for them, hence the vehement opposition.¡±


    This was an unwritten rule among higher-ups in the Divine Wood Sect; it was the same for all twelve divisions and three halls. These norms were even more extreme when the sect was first established, and it was only after the position of inspector was added that they were controlled at around five percent.


    Therefore, the more Spirit Rice Chen Mobai planted, the more the trio of Foundation Establishment from Spirit Plant Division would lose.


    wuxiaworld.site


    The deputy director of the Spirit Plant Division, Jin Shanping, was very close to E Yun. Chen Mobai often had drinks with him at E Yun¡¯s mansion during holidays and festivals and both of them had quite a friendly relationship.


    However, on this matter, he remained silent and sided with Shi Fengping; it turned out to be because Chen Mobai had taken a slice of their cake.


    What Sun Gaochang said today was indeed reminding Chen Mobai that he too had lost quite a bit of Spirit Stones because of this matter.


    ¡°Thank you for the guidance, Sun.¡±


    Chen Mobai understood immediately after grasping the implications of Sun Gaochang¡¯s words. He intended to meet Shi Fengping and Jin Shanping to see if there was a good solution to this problem.


    However, to his surprise, he was turned away at the door.


    Both of them excused themselves saying they were in retreat due to a breakthrough in their cultivation level.


    To this, Chen Mobai responded with a wry smile. Regardless of whether they were actually in retreat, he was certainly going to remember this incident.


    He thought about the advanced experiences from the Immortal Gate, and in light of the current circumstances of the sect, came up with a plan to bypass the Spirit Plant Division and went straight to Shenmu Hall to find Chu Zuoshu.


    ¡°That seems like a good solution.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s proposal regarding alleviating the burden on the Spirit Plant Division, Chu Zuoshu thought it over carefully and found it very appropriate.


    However, because this matter pertained to the channels of sect contributions, he could not make a decision on his own.


    ¡°Anyway, there are still a few months left before your Fire Spirit Rice matures. I will present your plan at the next meeting of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, and invite you to attend at that time.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu took good care of Chen Mobai, who was his direct disciple. Judging by today¡¯s situation, if it came to a vote, it was very likely that his proposal would pass.


    ¡°Thank you, Sect Leader.¡±


    After leaving Shenmu Hall, Chen Mobai returned to Xiao Nanshan.


    The Formation Division was still setting up the Green Cloud White Fog Formation. Yi Shaoqing had already left, leaving behind Guan Xiaolong, the true disciple of the Formation Division, and Chen Mobai¡¯s two disciples.


    Guan Xiaolong seemed to be quite interested in the enchantingly beautiful Luo Yixuan and took this opportunity to frequently show attentiveness towards her.


    Although Luo Yixuan was repulsed, she couldn¡¯t be rude as they were there to help.


    Zhuo Ming also noticed this and subsequently had Luo Yixuan take care of things at Xiao Nanshan while she handled the Formation Division matters with Guan Xiaolong.


    After the formation was set up, Guan Xiaolong unhappily left.


    ¡°These new spiritual lands ¨C Dishi Mountain and Jishan Mountain terraces need normal cultivation, while just the foot of Shan Mountain will suffice.¡±

    After returning, Chen Mobai led his two disciples to survey the five hundred acres of new spiritual land. They stood in mid-air guided by a ¡®Red Misty Cloud Silk,¡¯ pointing at the three spiritual mountains below.


    Shan Mountain was home to a group of ferocious and brave Monster Mountain Civet Cats. If their territory was limited, they could likely engage in internecine slaughter, so the formation here covered almost the entire mountain, according to Chen Mobai¡¯s request.


    ¡°On the tops of Shan Mountain and Jishan Mountain, there is a Qingyang Spirit Tree. As one of the nodes for the sect¡¯s Large Formation, a small formation has also been set up for protection. Do not try to break in forcibly.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan nodded in agreement.


    ¡°By the way, I heard from Sister Ma that these Mountain Civet Cats like to bare their fangs and claws. Zhuo Ming, didn¡¯t you always think your magic duel skills were lacking? Once you¡¯ve mastered your nine-storey Law Body, you can come into the mountains to practice with these creatures.¡±

 Chapter 677 - Chapter 677: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_3

    Chapter 677: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_3


    Last year, Zhuo Ming was eliminated in the fourth round of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s annual competition. Chen Mobai knew this wasn¡¯t a reflection of her true abilities and had been thinking about how to improve her magic duel skills ever since.


    Conveniently, this group of Mountain Civet Cats were also demonic beasts, with three of them at the top level of Rank-1, making excellent sparring partners.


    Zhuo Ming had both the Five Element Umbrella and the Purple Fire Sword Talisman for protection, so her safety was guaranteed.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    As the three of them spoke, they landed on Jishan Mountain.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense surged out, quickly locating the Spirit Chickens here. As expected, each chicken had three heads, six eyes, six legs, and six wings, and they were all quite plump.


    ¡°Today, your teacher will show you some cooking skills.¡±


    Ever since Chen Mobai heard about these Spirit Chickens, he had been looking forward to this moment. With so many chicken legs and wings¡­


    He took hold of two chickens, and with a pointer, a pit appeared on the ground.


    At this point, Zhuo Ming had already rolled up her sleeves, cleanly and swiftly helping to slaughter the chickens.


    Luo Yixuan, despite her oppressive upbringing, was still a child of a noble house and had never slaughtered a chicken before.


    So she could only watch from the sidelines.


    Chen Mobai chopped down a Red Sun Spiritual Wood tree and, with a chant, Five Elements Sword Light flickered, splitting the firewood neatly, each piece as if it had been measured with a ruler.


    wuxiaworld.site


    The scene reminded Luo Yixuan and Zhuo Ming of the time when they had just joined the Divine Wood Sect, chopping logs in Bud Hall.


    At that time, Chen Mobai had made quite a bit of Spirit Stone profit from the Red Sun Spiritual Wood.


    Back then, neither of them could have imagined that they would end up becoming his disciples.


    However, if they could turn back time, they would pledge allegiance to him without hesitation.


    By this point, Chen Mobai had whittled a skewer and began to thread the spitted chicken legs and wings that Zhuo Ming had prepared onto it, roasting them over the crackling fire.


    He took out a tray of seasonings he had bought from a fairy market from his bag. Before long, the two disciples had oily mouths from the delicious chicken.


    After consuming all the chicken legs and wings, the two girls were still somewhat unsatisfied, contemplating catching a couple more chickens.


    ¡°Master, your cooking is the best I¡¯ve ever tasted,¡± Luo Yixuan said a bit shyly as she wiped away the oil from the corners of her mouth with a kerchief.


    ¡°The key is the seasoning,¡± Chen Mobai replied. As he spoke, he took out his Spirit-Testing Instrument to examine his Spirit Root Attributes. Seeing no change, he concluded that the Spirit Chickens were of no use.


    ¡°From now on, we can use the remains of the rice to feed these Spirit Chickens. Ming, in order to cultivate your Law Body, besides Spirit Rice, the flesh of spiritual beasts is also essential. I¡¯m going to give you this mountain, how many Spirit Chickens you can eat depends on you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming immediately knelt, showing her gratitude with a grand bow.


    ¡°No need to be so formal, let¡¯s check out the other two mountains next.¡±


    After gesturing for Zhuo Ming to rise, Chen Mobai gathered the two, heading to Dishi Mountain and Shan Mountain.


    The catfish from Dishi Mountain could serve both as food and medicine. Its taste after being cooked was acceptable, but it was of no use for the Spirit Root.


    Finally, at Shan Mountain, the trio landed only to be met by the stares of a dozen pairs of oily green eyes, belonging to fierce Mountain Civet Cats watching them from all sides.


    However, with a cold snort, Chen Mobai displayed his Foundation Establishment aura, causing all the Mountain Civet Cats to disappear in an instant.


    Only the one with the strongest aura was left. Its body was frozen by Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense and was then pulled over to him from a distance.


    ¡°Ming, you should establish a contract with it. It will offer more protection while you practice magic duels,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    Zhuo Ming nodded and then established a Blood Curse Contract on the spot.


    ¡°Sister Zhuo, your cat is so pretty,¡± said Luo Yixuan. Chen Mobai looked at the Mountain Civet Cat, now standing by Zhuo Ming¡¯s foot after the contract, with its pitch-black and gray patterns, round head, and large tail. It was a very common Mountain Civet Cat.


    Compared to the white cat he kept in the student council, it was much less attractive.


    The only notable feature was its shimmering green eyes, which were as bright as emeralds.


    ¡°Mountain Civet Cats are said to have the diluted bloodline of the Earth Escape Divine Power. The ancestors of the group on this mountain once achieved Rank-2. Ming, you can spend some effort on this little cat when you have time,¡± said Chen Mobai.


    During his time in Shenmu Hall, Ma Wuniang had told him a lot about the three Spirit Mountains. The Mountain Civet Cat was one of the highlights. He was now advising Zhuo Ming with the original words.


    Within the Giant Tree Ridge, there are many spiritual beasts that can advance to Rank-2. The Mountain Civet Cats are a favorite among earth-attribute cultivators. Not only are they easy to keep, but they¡¯re also strong with great speed, increasing their survival rates when exploring dangerous areas.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    A Mountain Civet Cat that has advanced to Rank-2 awakens the Earth Escape Divine Power. Then, when creating underground Cave Dwellings or mining, it would be extremely useful.


    Zhuo Ming was also lucky. If the disciples of the Beast Department wanted to catch a Mountain Civet Cat to be their own spirit beast, they would have to go through many difficulties, as they often had to prepare to face an entire den of them.


    Even with mentors at the Foundation Establishment stage, they would still let their disciples catch their own Mount Civet Cats, to train and improve them.


    This is why many Qi Cultivation disciples could only catch ordinary Rank-1 Mountain Civet Cats. For a disciple like Zhuo Ming who got a top-level Rank-1 beast equivalent to a Qi Cultivation Perfection level spirit beast, it was thanks to having a good teacher like Chen Mobai.


    After visiting the three Spirit Mountains, Chen Mobai roughly discussed his plans for the thousand-acre Spirit Field with his two disciples.

 Chapter 678 - Chapter 678: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_4

    Chapter 678: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_4


    The cultivation puppets used for land reclamation could be used here again, but it would necessitate the relocation of a portion of the mortal population.


    However, both of his apprentices were capable of handling these matters. They had gained valuable experience last year and even though there were more spirit fields to tend to this year, they both assured him they would manage it properly.


    Over time, Chen Mobai¡¯s affection for his three apprentices in the Eastern Wilderness grew.


    They were respectful and dutiful, performing all tasks assigned to them with utmost dedication.


    No such disciples could be found in the Immortal Sect.


    Subsequently, Chen Mobai visited Divine Wood City. He acquired various kinds of spirit beast meat from Giant Tree Ridge through the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, hoping to further enhance his Spirit Root Attributes.


    Unfortunately, after only tasting seven or eight kinds, he had to return to the Immortal Sect.


    It was because Meng Huang had ended her retreat.


    She slightly hesitated as she invited him over to visit.


    They were now so close, they could understand each other¡¯s intent instantly. Upon hearing her invitation, Chen Mobai had already guessed the purpose of the visit.


    It must be that she still had not mastered the Marginal Law during her seclusion and she wanted his guidance again, even though it would mean exhausting work for him.


    As for this, Chen Mobai willingly agreed to go.


    As expected, after a candlelit dinner on the balcony, a shy Meng Huang sat down next to him and conveyed her intention.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    Feeling indebted to her, Chen Mobai did not refuse and worked tirelessly as she desired of him.


    After several days of hard work, Meng Huang looked glowing. There was a sudden realization during one of the discussions on the living room couch. She seemed enlightened and her eyes sparkled.


    ¡°I will definitely grasp it this time.¡±


    With a wealth of practice, Meng Huang¡¯s endurance had greatly increased. With Chen Mobai¡¯s cooperation, she stubbornly endured many sessions from the beginning to end.


    After this impeccably executed practice session, she confidently isolated herself for retreat again.


    Having fulfilled his role as a helper, Chen Mobai knew he should not disrupt her at this critical moment, so he left the hilltop villa quietly.


    After resting for two days, realizing he hadn¡¯t visited the Daoist Academy for a while, he decided to use the Short Teleportation Talisman, which he hadn¡¯t used for a long time.


    He used to go to school with Meng Huang every day, this talisman had been buried at the bottom of his storage bag and was almost lost.


    Upon reaching the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai naturally went to see Che Yucheng first.


    ¡°The Purple Electric Sword hasn¡¯t chosen its master yet, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Che Yucheng could guess what Chen Mobai wanted to ask as soon as he saw Chen Mobai carrying a fruit basket, so he spoke in advance.


    ¡°Teacher, as you see, I just came to visit you.¡±


    Chen Mobai, looking completely unaffected, put down the fruit basket and started to brew tea for Che Yucheng.


    ¡°Oh, did you know that the Nature Studies Academy suddenly changed their representative for the last round?¡±


    After hearing this news from Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai was completely taken aback.


    Aside from him, those who were guaranteed to advance to the last round consisted of real people in the Core Formation stage from the Nature Studies Academy, Five Thunder Studies Academy, and Mountain and Sea Academy.


    The real person from the Nature Studies Academy, named Yu Shiling, was perceived as a filler candidate. However, since they have replaced her now, it definitely signifies that the newcomer potentially has a higher chance of gaining the approval of the Purple Electric Sword.


    Upon realizing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s face paled slightly.


    A curveball indeed.


    ¡°Teacher, have some tea.¡±


    Even so, Chen Mobai soon composed himself. No matter how competent the cultivator chosen by the Nature Studies Academy could be, they were unlikely to be closer to the Purple Electric Sword than both the cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Academy or the Five Thunder Academy.


    The final outcome still relied on the last round, and would depend on their performances.


    ¡°One of the best things about you is that even while being brave and perseverant, you remain undisturbed by honor or disgrace and maintain a calm mindset.¡±


    Taking the hot tea from Chen Mobai, Che Yucheng nodded appreciatively. It was because of this very quality that he had accepted Chen Mobai as his disciple.


    ¡°Teacher, you¡¯re being too kind.¡±


    Chen Mobai only smiled at this. He did desire the Purple Electric Sword, but even if he couldn¡¯t obtain it, his reaction would merely be disappointment, not mental unbalance.


    After all, he had an entire world of immortal cultivation that was broader than the Earth Origin Star. Given enough time to develop, he believed he would eventually possess an artifact on par with the Rank-4 Purple Electric Sword.


    The new representative from the Nature Studies Academy for Core Formation was Yan Qiongzhi.¡±


    After finishing his cup of tea, Che Yucheng decided not to keep Chen Mobai in suspense any longer and revealed the name he would be only too familiar with.


    ¡°She managed to achieve Core Formation, too?¡±


    Chen Mobai recalls his interaction at Jumang Daoist Academy with Yan Qiongzhi in Wen Renxue¡¯s pavilion.


    Although that was their second meeting, it was the first time they had engaged in meaningful conversation.


    At that time, she was fearful about not being able to complete her Core Formation, thinking she might have to ask Chen Mobai for Pure Yang Purple Qi.


    Little did he know that just over a year later, Yan Qiongzhi had managed to achieve Core Formation.


    Undeniably, she was a genius who was even named alongside Lan Haitian, having established her own Gold Core Domain during the Foundation Building Realm.


    ¡°Her Core Formation was inevitable.¡±


    Che Yucheng spoke casually, the majority of geniuses who established a Gold Core Domain during Foundation Establishment could successfully reach Core Formation in the history of the Immortal Sect.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Hence, both Lan Haitian and Yan Qiongzhi were already considered as half-real persons of the Core Formation stage right after they established their Gold Core Domains.


    And history did prove this point.


    Once these two obtained Core Formation materials, they both succeeded on their first attempt, true to their reputation of the twin jewels of immortality.


    ¡°Teacher, does a Gold Core Domain also aid Core Formation?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of something. He was now only one Pure Yang Scroll away from reaching Perfection in the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, after which he could commence preparation for Core Formation.

 Chapter 679 - Chapter 679: Chapter 414 Hard Work (8k)_5

    Chapter 679: Chapter 414 Hard Work (8k)_5


    With enough Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, it should probably take around six to seven years.


    If the Gold Core Domain will aid in the Core Formation, after getting the Purple Electric Sword, he thought he would have to seriously start considering this matter.


    ¡°On average, in the history of the immortal ways, a genius who enters the Foundation Building realm and creates a Gold Core Domain emerges every hundred years, but because the sample is too small, it¡¯s not representative,¡±


    ¡°But to be able to achieve that denotes such a one as a genius amongst geniuses.¡±


    ¡°These people who successfully form the core are generally regarded as a given,¡±


    Che Yucheng gave Chen Mobai an answer that wasn¡¯t exactly an answer.


    The formation of the Core and the Gold Core Domain have no absolute relationship, yet those who can do so signify that in some aspect either their Spiritual Power or Divine Sense has already surpassed the Foundation Building Level.


    These people should find success naturally.


    After finishing tea at Che Yucheng¡¯s, Chen Mobai toured the Student Council.


    After greeting the acquaintances in the lobby like Lu Tiansuan and Zhuang Jialan, he walked into his former office.


    Zhongli Tianyu was diligently at work, but he sat in the chair with one leg propped up, reading a comic book.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already taken care of everything.¡±


    When he saw Chen Mobai enter, Zhongli Tianyu flippantly glanced at him, continuing to stretch and flip through his comic book.


    wuxiaworld.site Novts`0.co


    ¡°I¡¯m not here to check on you. I just came to see you.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, the white cat sunbathing on the windowsill hopped into his lap.


    Initially, when Hua Zijing graduated, Chen Mobai wanted to gift her the white cat since he had asked for it originally from the True Spiritual Academy to make her happy.


    Unfortunately, Hua Zijing declined, believing it would be better left at the Student Council and that after graduation, being busy with perfecting her Foundation Building and finding Gold Core spiritual material, she might not have the time to take good care of it.


    Thus, the white cat became a member of the Student Council.


    Chen Mobai even contemplated that once his batch graduated, this cat would become the member with the longest tenure in the Student Council, and that juniors might have to greet it when they see it.


    ¡°Boring.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu rolled his eyes at Chen Mobai, turned his chair around, and continued reading his comic with his back to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°You should be able to reach the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment before graduation. When do you plan to apply for the use of the Domain Gate to create the Gold Core Domain?¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t mind his attitude as this guy was just being himself.


    He took a seat on the couch by the window, drank the hot tea brought by Zhuang Jialan, petted the soft fur of the cat while also asking about the Gold Core Domain matters.


    ¡°Reaching the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment is just the entry requirement. If one wants to create a Gold Core Domain, aside from having abundant spiritual power, one also needs to have a powerful Divine Sense and a sturdy physique. Even if all these three factors reach the apex of the Foundation Establishment level, success still depends on luck.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu, as a descendant of the Divinity Transformation aristocratic family, naturally knew more than Chen Mobai.


    As an iconic method in the immortal ways, if one could successfully create a Gold Core Domain during Foundation Establishment, then one is generally regarded as a future genuine Core Formation immortal.


    If Zhongli Tianyu wants to attempt it, other than spiritual power and Divine Sense, he should best train his Dragon-horse Aspect to exceed the Foundation Establishment level. Only then would he have a better chance.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai asked more detailed questions.


    However, Zhongli Tianyu only knew so much. In his family, only one genius who achieved this left behind these parts of the message.


    ¡°[Only without defects in spirit, can one grasp the Power of Void, to Shatter the True Void with the help of Domain Gate, to open up a Domain.]¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded thoughtfully.


    ¡°There must be more resources about this in the immortal ways. You¡¯re good friends with Lan Haitian, right? Just ask him directly, this successful person, should do it.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s suggestion reminded Chen Mobai. Although there are few examples of creating a Gold Core Domain at the Foundation Building Realm, there are indeed two people in this era.


    And they have both successfully formed their Gold Core, entering the upper echelons of the immortal ways.


    If he could receive their personal explanations, when it¡¯s time for him to attempt, he will surely have more confidence.


    He wanted to call Lan Haitian to ask, but Chen Mobai felt it was a bit presumptuous.


    After all, he rejected joining the Heaven Menders group in the past, so their relationship was just average.


    However, the matter of the Gold Core Domain was important, so Chen Mobai thickened his skin, composed a message, and sent it over.


    He hoped Lan Haitian would respond when he had the time.


    By the way, during Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s trial to wield the Purple Electric Sword, could he also take this opportunity to consult her about it?


    After all, she was Yan Bingxuan¡¯s teacher and loved one, and during their time in Jumang Daoist Academy, they had quite a good time talking.


    After he noted this in his mind and checked his phone again without any reply from Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai decided to leave the Council.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai proposed to Zhongli Tianyu to go to Little Red Sky to practice their Magic Duel skills.


    There was a saying, ¡®A good scab forgets about the pain.¡¯


    Zhongli Tianyu put down the comic book in his hands right away. He claimed that he had a deeper understanding of the Eight Diagram Heavenly Thunder in these past few months and would undoubtedly prevent Sword Sha from breaking through his defense this time.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    The two of them didn¡¯t ask others to watch. They just secretly created a private room and battled for three rounds.


    After the battles, Zhongli Tianyu laid on the sofa, yelling and feeling his body heating up.


    Chen Mobai poured him a cup of tea, watched him recover, then left the Council satisfied.


    After staying half a month more in the Daoist Academy, he was again shyly summoned by Meng Huang.


    Helpless because of this, Chen Mobai had to fly up again to continue the effort.

 Chapter 680 - Chapter 680: Chapter 415: Resonance of the Purple Electric Sword_1

    Chapter 680: Chapter 415: Resonance of the Purple Electric Sword_1


    ¡°Next, let¡¯s have Brother Chen explain this proposal to everyone.¡±


    In the Shenmu Hall, during the routine Sect meeting, Chu Zuoshu made this sudden remark after the previous matters were discussed.


    Everyone from the three halls and twelve divisions turned their attention to Chen Mobai, who was standing next him.


    ¡°Good day, fellow practitioners, as you may know, I have planted some Spirit Rice, but the amount is a bit too large for the Spirit Plant Division to harvest every year.¡±


    ¡°Also, if the Spirit Plant Division were to purchase this Spirit Rice according to sect requirements, it would cost an amazing amount of Spirit Stones. Therefore, I propose that we separate the Spirit Rice matter from the Spirit Plant Division entirely and establish a new Spirit Rice Division to manage it.¡±


    ¡°Of course, the new Spirit Rice Division would also fall under Reward Virtue Hall, just like the Spirit Plant Division.¡±


    After Chen Mobai briefly outlined his proposal, Shi Fengping from the Spirit Plant Division immediately began to oppose it.


    ¡°Absolutely not! Sect Leader, the three halls and twelve divisions are traditions of our forefathers. We can¡¯t just add a new division over such a trivial matter. If we have too many Spirit Chickens to raise one day, do we establish a Spirit Chicken Division too?¡±


    The annual cultivation and harvest of Spirit Rice, although not too lucrative and even sometimes requiring subsidies, is still one of the privileges of the Spirit Plant Division.


    In addition, Spirit Rice is a vital spiritual object for Body Cultivation. Every year, the Spirit Plant Division can trade Spirit Rice for a considerable amount of Spirit Stones from the Body Forging Division. The higher-ups of the Spirit Plant Division are also profiting from this transaction and naturally wouldn¡¯t let go of it.


    ¡°Sect Leader, Brother Shi is absolutely right, we need to be cautious when considering the establishment of a new division.¡±


    The majority seemed to agree with Shi Fengping, voicing their objections one after another.


    ¡°However, Brother Chen¡¯s thousand mu of Spirit Rice has indeed become a burden on the Spirit Plant Division. I¡¯ve heard that Fire Spirit Rice has matured in patches and is ready for harvest, but the Spirit Plant Division has only deployed a small team to handle it. This could cause a delay.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    At this moment, Zeng Woyou from the Alchemy Division spoke up.


    ¡°Unfortunately, our Spirit Plant Division¡¯s disciples are scattered around to monitor thousands of mu of medicinal fields in Giant Tree Ridge and Eastern Wilderness, making it impossible to split our workforce. But I have been trying to dispatch disciples within the Spirit Plant Division to complete the harvest before the Spirit Rice falls.¡±


    Shi Fengping apologised, admitting fault after giving his explanation since this was indeed an error on their part as the Spirit Plant Division.


    ¡°If the Spirit Rice falls and is tainted by earthly qi, it will lose its effectiveness and become akin to normal rice. If the Spirit Plant Division is unable to handle this, I believe the sect needs to devise a foolproof method.¡±


    Lu Yi from the Discipline Department also spoke up, favouring Chen Mobai with his remarks. If the Spirit Plant Division could not manage, they should not cling to their authority.


    ¡°I am also trying my best. If anyone has good solutions, feel free to suggest.¡±


    Shi Fengping handled the situation comfortably in front of everyone. They knew the Spirit Plant Division had the most disciples, and therefore the most fields to manage. They didn¡¯t feel it was right to blame Shi Fengping.


    ¡°If we can¡¯t establish another division, why not let me sell the Spirit Rice? I can deal with the sale of the Spirit Rice from my thousand mu of Spirit Fields.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew his initial proposal would certainly not be approved, so his current statement was his main aim.


    ¡°Sell the Spirit Rice? Brother Chen, you can open a shop yourself. Why would you need the sect to permit it?¡±


    Shi Fengping seemed a little confused. However, it would certainly be a good thing for their division if Chen Mobai didn¡¯t let the Spirit Plant Division purchase his thousand mu of Spirit Fields.


    ¡°What I¡¯m saying is, allowing the Sect Disciple to exchange their contribution points for Spirit Rice in my place.¡±


    Chen Mobai smiled, revealing his real intention ¨C he wanted a permit to accept sect contribution as payment.


    Although the economic system in the Eastern Wilderness is basic, everyone understands that the sect¡¯s contribution points are tied to Spirit Stones, with one contribution point equal to one lower-grade Spirit Stone.


    To ensure stable contribution points, only three halls and twelve divisions within the Divine Wood Sect can offer disciple contributions under their regulations.


    And if one wants to trade with contribution points, only a select few places, such as the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, Spirit Stone Shop, and Book Pavilion, are allowed to do so.


    If Chen Mobai were granted the permit to trade contribution points, he believed that he could establish a small Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    In the Immortal Sect, a trading license is challenging to obtain. Besides the officials, only the four Daoist Academies and a handful of large corporations have it.


    Although intuitively Shi Fengping felt that it might not be suitable to grant Chen Mobai the permit to trade in sect contributions, he couldn¡¯t pinpoint the problem due to his limited understanding.


    Moreover, by ridding themselves of the burden of managing the thousand mu of Spirit Fields, it would be advantageous for the Spirit Plant Division, both emotionally and logically.


    So after a moment of contemplation, he chose not to oppose Chen Mobai, and thus remained silent.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In the end, eight votes were in favor, and four abstained.


    After the votes from the twelve divisions were returned, there was no need for the three main halls to comment.


    Chen Mobai had the full support of the three main halls, so Chu Zuoshu approved Chen Mobai¡¯s request to trade Spirit Rice for sect contributions.


    Upon leaving the Shenmu Hall, Shi Fengping returned to the Spirit Plant Division and shared this news with Jin Shanping.


    However, after deliberation, they still couldn¡¯t understand the implications of this matter.

 Chapter 681 - Chapter 681: Chapter 415: Resonance of the Purple Electric Sword_2

    Chapter 681: Chapter 415: Resonance of the Purple Electric Sword_2


    ¡°Let it be, we¡¯re not at a loss. This gives us just the right justification to recall the disciples from the Spirit Plant Department. From this day forward, he can handle the thousand-mu Spirit Field on his own,¡±


    In the end, Shi Fengping clapped his hands, signaling the end of the Spirit Rice harvesting mission for the disciples dispatched to Xiao Nanshan from the Spirit Plant Department.


    ¡­


    Above the vast Spirit Field on Court Mountain, Zhuo Ming was steering a harvesting machine in the shape of a carriage that Chen Mobai had ordered from the Puppet Department, managing to harvest hundreds of mu of Spirit Rice in just one day.


    ¡°Master, this Puppet Harvester is really easy to use.¡±


    Luo Yixuan, watching Zhuo Ming¡¯s efficiency, couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in awe.


    ¡°Once these Spirit Rice grains have been hulled, leave a notice at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. Let them know that one sect contribution point can be exchanged for 11 catties.¡±


    In the Divine Wood City Market, the price of Spirit Rice is ten catties for one lower-grade Spirit Stone.


    Chen Mobai was offering a ¡®buy ten get one free¡¯ scheme, and he also allowed the exchange to be done using sect contribution points.


    Generally speaking, the disciples of Divine Wood Sect can choose to receive either sect contributions or Spirit Stones when they complete tasks assigned by their departments or the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.


    Many of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s disciples choose sect contributions, as many cultivation-promoting pills in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion require contribution points for exchange.


    To prevent the excessive proliferation of contribution points, the Divine Wood Sect only allows disciples to exchange them for Spirit Stones in the Spirit Stone Shop, and not the other way round.


    However, this is the official rule. Unofficially, once the price is agreed upon, it¡¯s allowed to transfer one¡¯s own contribution points to someone else under the witness of the Spirit Stone Shop.


    wuxiaworld.site


    As a result, within the sect, the value of contribution points is slightly more precious than Spirit Stones. However, under the management of the sect, this range remains very stable.


    It¡¯s only every ten years, when Foundation Building Pills can be exchanged, that an extraordinary increase occurs.


    That¡¯s because many True Disciples can¡¯t come up with ten thousand sect contribution points on their own, and at that time they need to borrow or buy them, which causes prices to inflate significantly.


    Spirit Rice is not suitable for long-term storage, so Chen Mobai has been considering how to sell his Fire Spirit Rice since the first half of the year.


    ¡®Buy ten get one free¡¯ is a common promo seen in the Immortal Sects. He¡¯ll try this out initially, and if it still doesn¡¯t sell, he will attempt to offer a ¡®buy ten get two free¡¯, or ¡®get three free¡¯, or even consider bundling some gifts.


    The focus right now is to occupy the market.


    The Spirit Field here is free, the labor is almost free, and the only costs are the investment in seeding and fertilizing. But for Chen Mobai, it¡¯s all a guaranteed profit.


    As Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan started harvesting the Spirit Rice in full swing, Chen Mobai visited the Puppet Department again. He hired Li Yixian and a group of Qi Cultivation Disciples with Green Yang Spiritual Wood as payment, and crafted some Spirit Rice hulling machines again.


    After the item was made, everyone admired his ingenious idea.


    With this machine, even a mortal could easily hull several tons of rice in a day.


    Meanwhile, the first customer to visit Chen Mobai, who had just posted a notice at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, was surprisingly Kou Canzhi, the Head of the Body Cultivation Department.


    ¡°Brother Chen, I hope you don¡¯t mind my intrusion.¡±


    Kou Canzhi seemed to come with good intentions, even bringing two catties of excellent black pig meat.


    This was premium meat raised on the Giant Tree Ridge. The pig was free-range for three years before slaughtering. The meat was firm and rich in Spiritual Energy, a favorite of the body cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Brother Kou, have a tea.¡±


    Chen Mobai was a bit uncertain about Kou Canzhi¡¯s intentions. After personally brewing him a cup of tea, he waited for him to continue speaking.


    ¡°Brother Chen, how about selling all your thousand mu of Spirit Rice to our Body Cultivation Department?¡±


    ¡°If Brother Kou wants it, it¡¯d be a big help to me, but won¡¯t it be too much?¡±


    Chen Mobai was absolutely delighted with the business proposition offered right at his doorstep. However, his thousand mu of Spirit Field yielded a total of 150,000 catties of Spirit Rice, which might be too much for one Body Cultivation Department to handle.


    ¡°Brother Chen, it seems you don¡¯t fully understand our Body Cultivation Department. We have a total of five hundred disciples, of which one hundred are core disciples. They need to consume more than three catties of Spirit Rice each day, which is about one dan every month. They alone would consume nearly all of your 1500 dan Spirit Rice.¡±


    In the Eastern Wilderness, 100 catties is counted as one dan. The one hundred core disciples of the Body Cultivation Department could consume 1200 dan a year, that is, 120,000 catties of Spirit Rice.


    There were also around four hundred regular disciples in the sect, those with poor Spiritual Root Talent and no resources to learn alchemy or any of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal skills. To establish a foothold within the Divine Wood Sect, they had joined the Body Cultivation department, who accepted anyone willing to join.


    These disciples were also taught the basic Body Training Techniques. Although the monthly Spirit Stones they received for cultivation were barely enough, they occasionally bought some Spiritual Rice and Meat and some pills that boosted blood and energy.


    If these four hundred disciples were taken into account, indeed, the Body Cultivation department could consume the 1500 stones of Fire Spirit Rice sold by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Brother Kou, would you like to pay in Spirit Stones or contribution points?¡±


    Chen Mobai was naturally pleased to sell all his Spirit Rice at once and asked the essential question.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, I will pay you in contribution points of our sect.¡±


    Kou Canzhi was an easy-going person. After negotiating the deal, he signed a contract with Chen Mobai and transferred 5000 points from the account of the Body Cultivation department directly to Chen Mobai as a deposit.


    This was a down payment. The remaining 10,000 points would be paid once the Fire Spirit Rice reached the Body Cultivation department.


    ¡°Junior brother Chen, I heard from the disciples this morning that you put up a notice at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, stating that regular disciples could exchange 11 jin of Spirit Rice at your South Mountain Shop for 1 contribution point. By purchasing the rice at market price, I helped you earn more than a thousand Spirit Stones.¡±


    Before leaving, Kou Canzhi said something with suggestive implications.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t quite understand his meaning and just showed him out.


    Watching Kou Canzhi leave, Chen Mobai felt that the head of the Body Cultivation department seemed a bit unhappy.


    In the evening, Chen Mobai remembered the words Sun Gaochang once told him and suddenly understood.


    ¡°He wants a kickback.¡±


    Once he understood, Chen Mobai felt both irritated and amused. This situation was quite normal even in Immortal Cultivation sects.


    The Body Cultivation department was indeed a significant customer that should be catered to.


    However, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t do it himself, so he called Luo Yixuan and gave her a gift worth a thousand Spirit Stones, asking her to deliver it to Kou Canzhi.


    When Luo Yixuan returned, she reported that Kou Canzhi was very pleased and would also purchase the 1500 stones of Spirit Rice harvested next year from their Body Cultivation department.


    They could not consume the batch of Spirit Rice maturing at the end of the year, so Chen Mobai needed to figure something out himself.


    The Body Cultivation department with five hundred disciples could consume 1500 stones of Fire Spirit Rice per year.


    The rest of the demand needed to be filled by the other disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Although the South Mountain Shop listed the price at 1 contribution point for 11 jin, there were very few people coming to buy or exchange.


    The cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness were used to buying pills with Spirit Stones to increase their cultivation level when they had some. When hungry, they would use Fasting Pills or ordinary food to satisfy their hunger. Only the Body Cultivation disciples, who had a necessary demand, would eat Spirit Rice every meal.


    ¡°Master, do we need to plant the next round of Fire Spirit Rice seedlings?¡±


    With Liu Wenbo absent, Luo Yixuan took over the management of the South Mountain Shop in Divine Wood City. Seeing the poor exchange rate for the Spirit Rice these days, she was worried.


    ¡°Keep planting. If we can¡¯t sell it, we¡¯ll brew it all into wine.¡±


    Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t worried at all. He had many successful marketing examples from the Immortal Cultivation realms in mind and already knew how to solve the Spirit Rice sales issue.


    Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan naturally obeyed.

    After selling all the mature Fire Spirit Rice from this season to the Body Cultivation department, Chen Mobai received the remaining 10,000 contribution points. After accepting the gift, Kou Canzhi naturally paid willingly.


    Watching his two disciples and the normal person control the Puppet to complete the planting in the thousand-acre Spirit Field, Chen Mobai originally wanted to share his successful Foundation Establishment experience with Qi Rui, Xi Jinghuo, and other friends.


    Unexpectedly, he received surprising news from the Immortal Cultivation realm.


    Twelve unique Sword Cultivation geniuses caused a resonance with the Purple Electric Sword during the selection phase.


    What did this mean? Does it mean the identity he had painstakingly maintained was not worth much?

 Chapter 682 - Chapter 682: Chapter 416: Shan Hai Academy (8k)_1

    Chapter 682: Chapter 416: Shan Hai Academy (8k)_1


    After all, the Purple Electric Sword is a Rank-4 sword. If Chen Mobai could get his hands on it, he would have little to fear in the Eastern Wasteland.


    In the Eastern Wasteland, the highest cultivation realm was only that of the Gold Core. With the Purple Electric Sword in his hand, Chen Mobai felt that even if he was defeated, he could use the sword to buy some time to retreat with the Turtle Treasure.


    So when he heard the news, he excused himself with an excuse of enlightenment and returned to Xiao Nanshan for solitude.


    ¡°Master, have some tea.¡±


    After returning to the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai immediately went to see Che Yucheng, making him tea as usual.


    ¡°This situation is a bit strange.¡±


    Even Che Yucheng, who always had good intel, was somewhat puzzled about the Purple Electric Sword resonating with twelve peerless sword cultivation geniuses.


    ¡°Master, what¡¯s strange about it? Do you mean that Shanhai Xuegong doesn¡¯t want to give up the Purple Electric Sword, so they constructed this doubt?¡±


    The Purple Electric Sword was still in the hands of Shanhai Xuegong, so they were in charge of selecting its master.


    Even if there were a large number of cultivators in the Immortal Sect, it was impossible to produce twelve peerless sword cultivation geniuses in just one year.


    Know that in the past ten years, the Dance Tool Dao Academy had only produced a Chen Mobai and a half-developed Zha Jianbai.


    ¡°This matter was approved by several elders. Shanhai Xuegong doesn¡¯t have the guts to deceive.¡±


    Che Yucheng shook his head. The issue of the Purple Electric Sword choosing its master was clear to all the Gold Core realm cultivators in the Immortal Sect, even if it seemed unclear to the public.


    wuxiaworld.site


    If someone dared to cheat here, they would have to prepare to be under the scrutiny of the Hall Master, the supreme overseer of the Immortal Sect¡¯s laws.


    ¡°The principal should know about it, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai hesitated and asked.


    ¡°I have asked him, but the principal insists that I should not worry or probe too much into it; I should just stay quiet.¡±


    Che Yucheng was considerate towards Chen Mobai. Knowing his interest in the Purple Electric Sword, he promptly messaged Cheng Xuan as soon as he learned about the matter.


    Cheng Xuan¡¯s reply made him feel the oddity in this matter.


    ¡°Master, how about I go to Shanhai Xuegong in advance and check it out.¡±


    Chen Mobai, having relieved himself of the duty of student council president and having completed the sale of Fire Spirit Rice in the Divine Wood Sect, was free for the rest of the year. He decided to utilize this time to get closer to the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°That¡¯ll work, but don¡¯t take the Purple Electric Sword too seriously. After all, your competitors are Gold Core cultivators. Don¡¯t feel discouraged if you lose.¡±


    As Che Yucheng spoke, he was already starting to take the pressure off Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Okay, Master. Who should I contact when I go there?¡±


    In Shanhai Xuegong, Chen Mobai only knew Pei Qingshuang.


    However, since they had a fiery fight in Jumang Dao Institute, Chen Mobai felt that his relationship with her was ordinary, so he didn¡¯t plan on finding her.


    ¡°Hao Cao studied at our academy. After you go to Shanhai Xuegong, you can directly find him.¡±


    Since the Four Great Daoist Academies only enrolled fifty new students each year, there were many aspirants who fell short. They had the chance to pursue continued education in the top ten academies to take advantage of the resources and instruction provided by the Four Great Daoist Academies.


    Last year, Dai Shiqing, the chief student of Lingbao Xuegong, was promoted to Dance Tool Dao Academy by passing the examination.


    When Chen Mobai was still the student council president, he visited him specifically and had a pleasant conversation.


    Hao Cao, the principal of Shanhai Xuegong, was in the same situation. For his work, he collaborated with Deng Daoyun, the current head of the Refining Implement Department and forged a Rank-3 sword fetus, which was widely praised.


    To this day, Hao Cao was recognized as a Sword Dao Master and a big sword cultivator in perfect Core Formation.


    After making a call with Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t delay it any longer.


    Shanhai Xuegong was in White Stone, the easternmost area of the Immortal Sect, and was a coastal city.


    Chen Mobai checked the route and booked a plane ticket for tomorrow morning.


    The reason he didn¡¯t go back today was that there was one more person who needed to be comforted here.


    In the evening.


    In the villa on mountaintop, Chen Mobai, who had worked all day, cuddled Meng Huang, who was sweating from the heat, and told her that he had to go on a business trip tomorrow.


    ¡°I see, when will you come back?¡±


    Meng Huang seemed a little worried. Even though she had been cultivating diligently for half a year and had gained some understanding of the threshold law, she hadn¡¯t fully learned it yet. She was afraid that her progress would stall as soon as Chen Mobai left, and all her previous efforts would be wasted.


    ¡°I can¡¯t be sure, possibly at the end of the year.¡±


    According to the predetermined schedule, the final round of the Purple Electric Sword choosing its master was to be held at the end of this year. Chen Mobai was going there to check out the twelve peerless sword cultivation geniuses and see what was going on.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    If they didn¡¯t affect the final round, he might return right away, or he might stay there for half a year.


    ¡°How about I go with you?¡±


    Meng Huang gave it some thought. She only had half a year left, so she took a deep breath and stepped forward, hoping to stay with Chen Mobai, her excellent teacher, during this time.


    ¡°Well¡­ okay, you can book a ticket too.¡±


    Naturally, Chen Mobai wanted to refuse. But seeing Meng Huang¡¯s hopeful yet anxious eyes, he understood her thoughts. Considering that she was just one step away from mastering the threshold law, he finally nodded his head and decided to take her along in hopes of quickly completing the contract and saving himself from the long-term trouble.

 Chapter 683 - Chapter 683: Chapter 416: Shan Hai Academy (8k)_2

    Chapter 683: Chapter 416: Shan Hai Academy (8k)_2


    Upon hearing his words, the worry on Meng Huang¡¯s face immediately brightened. She laughed and smoothed down the stray strands of hair on her snow-white cheek, before continuing to inquire about cultivation from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°We first met at the train station, if I remember correctly.¡±


    After another perfect session of cultivation, Chen Mobai took a deep breath, stroking Meng Huang who, after forcing herself to endure, was slowly calming her shaking body. He reminisced about their past.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you had seen my concert in Red Sandstone City?¡±


    Meng Huang, trying to compose herself, retorted with a question to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Yes, at the Red Sandstone City, I was watching you from below the stage, but you certainly didn¡¯t notice me, so I wouldn¡¯t count it as our official meeting.¡±


    Chen Mobai stated seriously. After hearing this, Meng Huang thought about it and nodded in acceptance.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we take a train to Mountain and Sea Academy?¡±


    After another intimate moment between them, Chen Mobai suddenly proposed an idea. Meng Huang, a bit puzzled, lifted her head from his chest and looked at him with a confused expression on her face.


    ¡°Here¡¯s the thing, you¡¯re in the process of practicing the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret and you can basically endure it with your own willpower, but there¡¯s still a bit of fine-tuning left in your limit method. I think it¡¯s time to employ some more stimulating scenes to raise your threshold.


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Meng Huang¡¯s beautiful eyes widened, and her breathing started to quicken.


    ¡°Does that mean¡­¡±


    She instinctively wanted to decline, but Meng Huang gave it some thought. Given the effort she poured into the limit method over the past six months, which improved her understanding from nothing to halfway there, she realized Chen Mobai¡¯s method might work.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Thinking about her graduation in half a year, and considering all the efforts made thus far, she shouldn¡¯t give up just before success was within reach.


    After all, accompanying Chen Mobai to the Mountain and Sea Academy was intended to practice well and master the limit method as quickly as possible during this period.


    ¡°¡­is it possible?¡±


    Finally, Meng Huang lowered her head, gently expressing her agreement.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If you can bear it under those conditions, then all other difficulties in the limit method would be nothing for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai said seriously. He had spent the last six months diligently guiding Meng Huang¡¯s cultivation and was growing a bit tired, having never dedicated so much attention to any of his disciples before.


    Seeing that she still had not mastered the limit method, Chen Mobai was quite concerned. If she really didn¡¯t succeed in the Foundation Establishment before graduation, then they would be seriously disadvantaged.


    If Meng Huang declines to serve in the army by then, would he have to take her place?


    Thinking about all this, Chen Mobai thought it was better to help Meng Huang establish her foundation as soon as possible.


    So he discreetly consulted with Tian Wenguang earlier, who gave him this idea.


    If she could bear normal cultivations scenes, then they should change to a more difficult environment for practice, gradually raising the threshold and increasing her endurance.


    And keep doing it until she fully mastered it.


    As for what kind of difficult environment, Tian Wenguang let Chen Mobai figure it out himself, suggesting it would be best if it brought back good memories for them both.


    Chen Mobai pondered and pondered, but couldn¡¯t make sense of these words.


    Not until after this cultivation session, when it suddenly occurred to him.


    There were only a few places he and Meng Huang had met, so why not just try them one by one? Now that they were about to leave town, being on a train was quite suitable.


    ¡°Well¡­ I¡¯ll book the tickets.¡±


    Meng Huang mumbled a sentence.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately canceled his plane ticket.


    ¡°By the way, wear the outfit you had on when we met at the train station. It will help us reminisce about the good old times.¡±


    ¡°What outfit? It¡¯s been so long, how am I supposed to remember?¡±


    ¡°I think it was a light yellow tight dress. I particularly remember it accentuating your slender figure, along with those white high-heeled shoes.¡±


    That night, this conversation occurred between the man and the woman in their bedroom.


    ¡­


    Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment level and students from the four big Daoist Academies were eligible for free upgrades to first-class on the train.


    Chen Mobai and Meng Huang were both qualified.


    Since Meng Huang was a big star, she had to be extra cautious when traveling, hence sunglasses, hats, and scarfs were indispensable. To avoid revealing their close relationship to the public, they purposefully staggered their boarding times.


    The first-class luxury soft sleeper cabin to Mountain and Sea Academy was occupied just by them.


    To avoid suspicion, they naturally stayed in separate rooms.


    But at night, Meng Huang, slipping into her usual outfit, quietly crawled into Chen Mobai¡¯s cabin.


    Cultivating in such an environment was indeed more demanding than in normal circumstances.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    But for the sake of helping Meng Huang master the limit method as soon as possible, Chen Mobai had to push himself.


    Due to the slow speed of the train and the fact that the White Stone Cave Heaven, where the Mountain and Sea Academy was located, was at the extreme eastern edge of the realm, their journey lasted four days and three nights.


    Tian Wenguang proved to be an expert. In this tough special environment, Meng Huang¡¯s cultivation progressed rapidly.


    In the final night, while shaking in her white high heels, she had a sudden insight.


    She truly understood all the intricacies of the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret, and mastered the limit method. The mysteries of confining spirit and blood, closing off energy doors, and the opening and closing of her Purple Mansion were all clear to her at that moment.

 Chapter 684 - Chapter 684: Chapter 416: Shanhai Academy (8k)_3

    Chapter 684: Chapter 416: Shanhai Academy (8k)_3


    ¡°Finally, I understand¡­ this is how it works¡­¡±


    In that instant of realization, Meng Huang felt that all her hard efforts had paid off. She couldn¡¯t help but shed tears of relief, crying once again.


    Having grasped the boundary law, she no longer needed to endure. Her trembling legs, which had been strained, suddenly gave way.


    ¡­


    In the rest area of the White Stone Cave¡¯s railway station, Chen Mobai and Meng Huang sat in two separate corners.


    [When do you plan to establish your foundation?]


    Although sitting apart, the two were engaged in a relaxed conversation through text messages.


    Even though only half a year was left, it wasn¡¯t certain whether she could successfully establish her foundation before graduation. However, after mastering the boundary law, it wouldn¡¯t be an issue for Meng Huang to apply for an extra year or two.


    Ever since joining Dance Tool Dao Academy, the decade-long cloud over her chest was finally lifted, and Meng Huang felt an unprecedented joy in her heart and soul.


    Everything felt so wonderful to her¨Cthe air was fresh, and the sun was bright.


    A yearning surged up within her. She wanted to buy a return ticket immediately and go back to Dance Tool Dao Academy to establish her foundation.


    However, she was thoughtful and knew that if she acted on her impulse, she would come across as rather mercenary. She decided to stay with Chen Mobai for a while to express her gratitude properly.


    [Once I return to the Academy, I¡¯ll attempt it right away. However, I can only exchange for the three treasures of foundation establishment at the end of term. I hope I can successfully establish my foundation before graduation.]


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Mastering the boundary law meant having unlimited trial-and-error opportunities. However, a successful establishment of a foundation would still require one¡¯s own foundation to meet the necessary conditions.


    Elixirs could expedite the establishment of the foundation.


    Meng Huang¡¯s first step, ¡®Change Tendons and Wash Marrow¡¯, had already been completed. Only her second step, ¡®Condensing Qi into Liquid¡¯, repeatedly failed, missing just two or three drops. But with the boundary law and the assistance of the ¡®Solidifying Qi Liquid¡¯, she estimated that she could easily cross this hurdle after one or two attempts.


    In contrast, the final step, ¡®Divine Sense Out of Body¡¯, might still require numerous trials and explorations despite possessing the boundary law before it could be wholly successful.


    However, with the aid of the Spirit Ascension Powder and Meng Huang¡¯s Mystic Sound Method that would invoke celestial music during foundation establishment, passing this hurdle was only a matter of time.


    [I¡¯ll see if I can help you snatch a set of Solidifying Qi Liquid and Spirit Ascension Powder on the Xianmen website. The White Stone Cave should also provide a Rank-3 Cultivation Room. If it suits you, you could try your hand at establishing a foundation here.]


    Now that she had the boundary law, she wasn¡¯t afraid of failure, so she didn¡¯t need to be particular about the location or other conditions for establishing her foundation.


    However, many cultivators had a slight compulsion, believing that the probability of a breakthrough would be higher in familiar surroundings.


    [Alright, I¡¯ll give it a try. You¡¯ve really worked hard these past few days.]


    Meng Huang also wished to establish her foundation as soon as possible to retaliate against certain individuals at Dance Tool Dao Academy and the media always badmouthing her circles in the entertainment industry.


    But she knew who the biggest contributor was to her mastery of the boundary law. Although some images in her mind were painful to recall, she sincerely thanked Chen Mobai.


    [I merely did what I was supposed to do.]


    As he spoke those words, Chen Mobai felt as if a great weight had been lifted from his chest.


    He wouldn¡¯t have to worry about this in the future.


    He didn¡¯t know whether it was because Meng Huang was slow of understanding or the cultivation method for the Jade Lock Golden Barrier Secret he figured out was unsuitable. Still, it took an arduous six months.


    If it had been one of his disciples, Chen Mobai definitely wouldn¡¯t have shown this much patience.


    ¡°Oh, long time no see.¡±


    Just when Chen Mobai was planning to use his Xianmen account to check whether any of the three treasures for establishing a foundation were available soon, someone he wouldn¡¯t expect showed up before him.


    Pei Qingshuang, with her glossy black hair tied into a ponytail, and her smooth, pale face, coupled with her Mountain and Sea Academy¡¯s dark green uniform, looked refreshing and vibrant.


    ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    Chen Mobai stood up curiously. Before coming here, he had obviously contacted the Mountain and Sea Academy. Hao Cao, owing to his status, definitely couldn¡¯t come to receive him personally, so he had simply stated someone else would be arranged, and Chen Mobai could ask this person if he needed anything.


    ¡°Linghu Xian was busy today, and since I was free and my status is suitable, it¡¯s very fitting for me to pick up the chief representative of Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    Linghu Xian was the chief of Mountain and Sea Academy. If he came to pick Chen Mobai, their statuses would be equivalent.


    But if Pei Qingshuang came instead, it would actually show more respect to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Shall we leave now?¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, his gaze unintentionally swept to the corner where Meng Huang, almost entirely covered by sunglasses, scarf, and a mask, was sitting.


    ¡°If you haven¡¯t booked a room for yourself, come with me. The accommodation provided by our Academy is almost equivalent to what¡¯s provided to a Gold Core master.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang said this, beckoned, and took the lead outside.


    [Find a hotel to stay for now. I¡¯ll contact you later.]

    Chen Mobai could only send this message to Meng Huang, who hesitated for a moment before replying with a [Okay].


    ¡­


    The White Stone Cave, located seaside, was famous for producing a unique type of white stone.


    This white stone could be used as a sharpening stone and also store particular spiritual energy. It had a wide range of applications.


    The predecessor of the Mountain and Sea Academy could be traced back to an ancient villa offering sword sharpening services in the prehistoric times. People from there also took care of precious swords. In the villa were thirteen gigantic stone swords, said to be shaped by the ancients from mountains¨Ca truly spectacular sight to behold.

 Chapter 685 - Chapter 685: Chapter 416: Shan Hai Academy (8k)_4

    Chapter 685: Chapter 416: Shan Hai Academy (8k)_4


    After the Xianmen began to rule the world, they discovered that these were thirteen naturally grown magic swords, containing the mysteries of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers, forever protecting the limitless sea territories from invading the mainland.


    The original School of Mountain and Sea was established by a group of cultivators from the Xianmen who studied the stone swords.


    In their mansion, they learned while teaching, which eventually evolved into the most famous Sword Cultivation University in the Xianmen order today.


    ¡°Is this the White Stone?¡±


    Chen Mobai, following Pei Qingshuang, got into a car. Seeing him a little bored on the journey, Pei Qingshuang, who was driving, handed him a stone as white as jade, which could fit into the palm.


    ¡°Yes, during the open recruitment stage of the Purple Electric Sword finding its master, it required interested sword cultivators from the Xianmen to infuse their Sword Qi into the White Stone and mail it to our School of Mountain and Sea.¡±


    ¡°We will then select the White Stones that meet the requirements and send them to the Purple Electric Sword for its choice.¡±


    ¡°However, this is all just for show. From these open selections, we will only symbolically select a few lucky ones to make up the numbers. These individuals will join the four of you, who have already been chosen, for the last round.¡±


    This final round involves each person having a day alone with the Purple Electric Sword. The person with the highest resonance degree with this Rank-4 magical sword will become its master.


    ¡°What about the twelve exceptional Sword Cultivation Geniuses who have resonated with the Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    Chen Mobai, while fiddling with the White Stone, asked about the issue he cared about the most.


    ¡°Indeed, you too came early because of this.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang chuckled lightly and stepped on the gas. Sitting in the rear row, Chen Mobai immediately felt a strong sense of thrust. They sped into the high-speed flight zone, free from the restrictions of the road surface, and flew towards the School of Mountain and Sea situated on a cliff.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    ¡°Oh, who else has arrived?¡±


    Chen Mobai, looking out of the window at the giant stone swords of various heights seemingly held by celestial beings, arbitrarily arranged on the cliff, asked casually.


    ¡°You are the last of the four.¡±


    Hearing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be dumbfounded. It turns out that these Gold Core ¡°Real People¡± esteem the Purple Electric Sword so highly.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t answered my question yet.¡±


    ¡°All I can say is that the twelve exceptional Sword Cultivation Geniuses were personally reviewed by the Principal Hao Cao two days ago after he inspected all the Sword Qi-infused White Stones.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang made a remark that left Chen Mobai in a daze.


    Hao Cao, a master of Sword Dao, personally inspecting?


    He must have known that the Purple Electric Sword could only choose among the four of them. So why would he do such a meaningless thing?


    It¡¯s not just twelve Sword Cultivation Geniuses. Even if there were a hundred and twenty, they couldn¡¯t reverse the intention of the Nascent Souls.


    No, teacher Cheng Xuan said that he was asked to remain silent about this matter.


    In this case, it seems that Hao Cao reported his actions to the relevant Nascent Souls in advance.


    Getting there, Chen Mobai became even more confused about this situation.


    He tried asking Pei Qingshuang again, whose mother is Tao Hua of the Nascent Souls, perhaps knowing the truth, but she merely smiled slightly and refused to say more.


    At this time, the two have already arrived at the School of Mountain and Sea.


    It is situated on the handle of the Thousand-foot Stone Sword.


    It is the tallest and most enormous among the thirteen stone swords of Bai Shi Dong Tian.


    After getting off the car, Chen Mobai looked down at the tumultuous sea nearby and then looked back at the thirteen towering stone swords of various heights on the cliff, couldn¡¯t help but marvel at the miracle.


    Such magnificent scenery truly needs to be seen in person to appreciate its magnificent grandeur, unique in the whole world.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go meet the principal first. The place where you¡¯ll be staying is on another stone sword.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang led Chen Mobai towards the school built on the Thousand-foot Sword Handle.


    The Sea-settling Thirteen Swords, the tallest three being the thousand-foot ones, followed by four that are a hundred feet long, and then three that are only ten feet long, while the last three barely make it to one foot.


    Chen Mobai, listening to Pei Qingshuang describe the School of Mountain and Sea¡¯s incredible sceneries, couldn¡¯t help but be amazed.


    ¡°Originally, there were fourteen stone swords, but one absorbed the essence of all the stone swords, shed its stone shell, and turned into a top sword embryo. It was refined into the Sea-settling Sword by Grandmaster Yun Ya of your Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    Scratching his head in admiration, Chen Mobai recalled Bian Jingchun mentioning that the Sea-settling Sword was refined by the Dance Tool Dao Academy, but he never imagined that the grandmaster himself had personally intervened.


    ¡°Can I pay my respects to the Sea-settling Sword?¡±


    ¡°Yes, the Sea-settling Sword is sealed on the top floor of the Sword Tower. You¡¯re going to the Purple Electric Sword anyway, so you can pay your respects then.¡±


    Within the Xianmen, Rank-5 magic artifacts are usually sealed since they require too much spiritual energy to activate, so they are preserved with minimal spiritual energy to prevent their grade from falling.


    Thus, high-grade artifacts are a burden for the Xianmen if they don¡¯t have a master.


    The Sword Tower of the School of Mountain and Sea stores half of the Xianmen¡¯s flying swords, and the Treasure Trove of the Dance Tool Dao Academy stores tens of thousands of magic artifacts. It¡¯s hard for the academies alone to support these. Most rely on Xianmen funding.

    So finding a master for the Purple Electric Sword is also a way to slightly reduce the burden on the Xianmen.


    During their conversation, the two have already arrived at a place for sword grinding.


    A middle-aged man with a stern face, short hair, and no eyebrows, his beard and mustache twisted, is using the White Stone to grind a rusty longsword.


    ¡°I pay my respects to Real Person Hao Cao.¡±


    Chen Mobai had seen pictures of Hao Cao online and knew that he was the principal of the School of Mountain and Sea, so he immediately greeted him respectfully.

 Chapter 686 - Chapter 686: Chapter 416: Shanhai Academy (8k)_5

    Chapter 686: Chapter 416: Shanhai Academy (8k)_5


    ¡°Where¡¯s your Sword Qi?¡±


    Hao Cao seemed to be a man of few words. He nodded, then directly asked Chen Mobai a question that confused him.


    ¡°You need to infuse a strand of your Sword Qi into the White Stone and hand it over to your teacher. After all, to silence the world, there will be an audience selection round for all four of you.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang, who was next to him, immediately explained, causing enlightenment to spring onto Chen Mobai¡¯s face.


    No wonder he was given a piece of White Stone.


    However, when he was about to infuse the Sword Qi, he ran into a problem.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    The one who asked was Pei Qingshuang. After Hao Cao demanded the Sword Qi, he devoted himself to grinding his sword.


    ¡°I have cultivated the Five Elements Sword Qi, and a single kind cannot show the true level of my Purple Electric Sword. May I have four more pieces of White Stone?¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Hao Cao finally stopped his action. He lifted his head and looked at the handsome young man with his unique dark grey pupils, and replied.


    ¡°The top Sword Cultivators can infuse fourteen strands of complete Sword Qi into a single piece of White Stone without shattering it.¡±


    This was news to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Teacher, don¡¯t make it difficult for him. I can only infuse three strands of complete Sword Qi into a piece of White Stone.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    Pei Qingshuang spoke up in defense of Chen Mobai.


    ¡°If he wants to surpass the Core Formation stage at the Foundation Establishment stage and gain recognition from the Purple Electric Sword, he must accomplish this.¡¯


    After Hao Cao finished speaking, he lowered his head again, picked up the White Stone in his hand, and continued to grind his sword.


    At this time, Chen Mobai finally noticed that the White Stone Hao Cao was using to grind his sword radiated nine different colors and yet unified with the small White Stone, forming a stable and firm Sword Array.


    The Sword Light was shapeshifting!


    Chen Mobai recalled the words of Zuo Gong.


    Among the people who walked their own paths in the Immortal Sect, there was Hao Cao. He was one of the four great Sword Dao masters of the Immortal Sect, equally famous as Nangong Xuanyu.


    The fame was not unfounded indeed.


    ¡°Let me try.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded his head and began to infuse his most proficient Red Flame Sword Qi into the White Stone with full concentration.


    It was naturally an easy task for him as a Sword Cultivator who had reached the state of Sword Light Transformation.


    The qualification requirement for the competition to select the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s master was the second stage of Sword Cultivation, the Sword Gang Transforming Qi.


    However, to infuse a complete strand of Sword Qi into the White Stone without causing cracks, a high mastery of Sword Qi was needed in addition to the cultivation of Sword Qi.


    Even so, thousands of White Stones were sent to the Mountain and Sea Academy.


    Among them, Hao Cao chose twelve exceptional Sword Cultivation geniuses.


    After Chen Mobai had infused the Red Flame Sword Qi, he started to infuse the Earth Sword Aura according to the order of the Five Elements¡¯ generation and transformation. However, his approach seemed to have a problem. The moment he infused the second strand of Sword Qi, a crack suddenly appeared in the White Stone in his palm, and then it broke into two halves.


    ¡°This¡­?¡±


    ¡°Just try a few more times. There is still some time before the final round.¡±


    It seemed that Pei Qingshuang had anticipated this scene. She giggled, walked to the corner, picked up a basket of White Stones, and brought it over.


    The stones were for Hao Cao to grind his sword. When she took them for Chen Mobai, the former just glanced at her and continued to lower his head and grind his sword.


    ¡°Do I need to infuse the Five Elements Sword Qi at the same time and form a stable cycle inside the White Stone?¡±


    After failing once, Chen Mobai immediately figured out the key point.


    ¡°Yes, but to squeeze five complete strands of Sword Qi into a single piece of White Stone requires a high level of control over the Sword Qi. Normally only a Jiedan Sword Cultivator can do it.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang was a pure Sword Cultivator who had loved sword dancing since childhood, so she was sent to the Mountain and Sea Academy by Tao Hua. She studied hard on ordinary days and had a deep understanding of Sword Cultivation.


    Chen Mobai nodded lightly after hearing her words. Next, he operated his Five Elements Sword Fingers, activated the most subtle five strands of Sword Light with the realm of Sword Light Transformation, and carefully infused them into the White Stone.


    At first, everything went smoothly. However, the capacity of the White Stone was limited. Chen Mobai could only infuse about one-third of each kind of Sword Qi before the stone was completely full. Then, with a crack, it exploded into a pile of stone powder.


    ¡°Do they need to be condensed?¡±


    After failing twice, Chen Mobai summed up his experience, picked up another piece of White Stone, and was about to try again.


    ¡°He must be tired from traveling. You should take him to rest first.¡±


    Hao Cao seemed a bit impatient. He devoted himself to sword grinding to cleanse his Sword Heart every day and disliked being disturbed at this time.


    If it weren¡¯t for Chen Mobai¡¯s profound background, he would have asked him to leave long ago.


    Nevertheless, he couldn¡¯t bear it after being interrupted twice in a row.


    ¡°Yes, teacher.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Pei Qingshuang also knew her teacher¡¯s character well. She felt that she hadn¡¯t explained everything clearly during the journey. After pulling Chen Mobai, she picked up the basket full of White Stones and prepared to leave.


    ¡°I¡¯ll carry this.¡±


    After they left Hao Cao¡¯s Sword Grinding Room, Chen Mobai took the basket full of White Stones from Pei Qingshuang¡¯s arms and thanked her.


    ¡°It¡¯s no big deal. I think highly of you anyway. At least I wouldn¡¯t mind if you become the master of the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang¡¯s straightforward personality left Chen Mobai momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

 Chapter 687 - Chapter 687: Chapter 417: Bai Guangs Reincarnation Body_1

    Chapter 687: Chapter 417: Bai Guang¡¯s Reincarnation Body_1


    Chen Mobai¡¯s place of residence was on top of another thousand-foot stone sword.


    For the Daoist Academy, it was indeed a very luxurious room, with a bedroom just for himself, as well as a balcony and a living room.


    Pei Qingshuang had left after bringing him over.


    Chen Mobai picked up a piece of white stone and thoughtfully began trying to infuse it with Sword Qi.


    This time, he didn¡¯t pursue the Five Elements Sword Qi, but merely infused it with his most proficient Red Flame Sword Qi.


    Although he didn¡¯t pay much attention to this Sword Talisman technique of the Divine Wood Sect, thanks to the empowerment of the great Dao tree, his Sword Dao Realm helped him grasp the essence and have a thorough understanding of it.


    Under the control of his Divine Sense at the seventh layer of the Foundation Establishment stage, a complete Red Flame Sword Qi was quickly and perfectly infused into the white stone in his palm.


    The originally bright and jade-like stone seemed to be like fire jade at this time, shimmering with a faint reddish-yellow luster.


    Chen Mobai then picked up another four pieces of white stone and infused them with the remaining four types of Sword Qi.


    They were all successful at the first try.


    Just as he was preparing to try infusing two types of Sword Qi into the white stone, Meng Huang sent a message.


    [I¡¯ve already checked into the hotel, do you want to come over?]


    [You¡¯ve just become proficient in the liminal technique, and you still need to consolidate your foundation. I won¡¯t interrupt you.]


    wuxiaworld.site


    Chen Mobai had given great advice to Meng Huang. He was afraid that if he wasn¡¯t careful, she might revert back, so he very wisely declined her invitation.


    [Ok, I¡¯ll be cultivating in the hotel for the next few days. If you feel like coming over, let me know in advance.]


    Seeing Meng Huang¡¯s motivational progress, Chen Mobai was very pleased. His exhaustive guidance over the past six months had not been in vain.


    After ending the chat, Chen Mobai divided his attention.


    On the one hand, he was fiddling with the white stone in his hand, trying to infuse it with more Sword Qi, and on the other hand, he was logging into the Immortal Gate network to see if there were any Foundation Establishment treasures about to be listed.


    With his high level of access, he easily found the Solidifying Qi Liquid and Spirit Ascension Powder needed for Meng Huang¡¯s Foundation Establishment.


    Once he remembered the exact listing time, Chen Mobai set an alarm for himself on his phone.


    After that, he began to concentrate on fiddling with the white stone in his hand.


    However, after many failed attempts, Chen Mobai found that his idea seemed to be mistaken.


    The key to infusing multiple types of Sword Qi without shattering the white stone was not compression.


    Each white stone could only contain so much spiritual power, meaning each stone could only hold one type of Sword Qi.


    So how did Hao Cao manage to infuse nine kinds of Sword Qi without shattering the stone?


    Chen Mobai had an advantage in that if he didn¡¯t understand something, he wouldn¡¯t stubbornly seek an answer but would ask for help or find answers online.


    He opened the Auxiliary Cultivation app on his phone and started searching for information about the white stone.


    However, because the white stone was a local specialty of the Shanhai Academy, and it was a tool used here to practice controlling Sword Qi, there weren¡¯t many related posts.


    After reading all the limited posts, Chen Mobai roughly understood.


    A standard portion of white stone could indeed only be infused with one type of Sword Qi, but if one wanted to demonstrate their Sword Dao cultivation level, they could infuse a second Sword Qi on top of the first one, like formatting.


    When infusing the second Sword Qi to overwrite the first, it gives the white stone the illusion that its interior has been emptied, that there is still room to accommodate more.


    However, in reality, the white stone could still only accommodate one type of Sword Qi, so the incoming Sword Qi needed to merge with the previous one.


    Two types of Sword Qi would become one, but would possess the characteristics of both types of Sword Qi.


    This was also the practice method of the ¡°Thirteen Swords of the Sea¡± of the Shanhai Academy.


    Chen Mobai had once fought a bitter battle with Yan Feng in Danxia City. The latter¡¯s Sea Sword Qi was stronger with each level because each succeeding Sword Qi had all the characteristics of the previous one, and was even more majestic.


    Thinking of Yan Feng, Chen Mobai suddenly thought, isn¡¯t he a student of the Shanhai Academy?


    It was just a pity that he did not have Yan Feng¡¯s contact information, after all, they were opponents at first and did not sympathize with each other after the fight.


    But if he wanted to contact Yan Feng, it wouldn¡¯t be impossible. After all, Chen Mobai was now one of the upper echelons of the Danxia City. Yan Feng¡¯s uncle was a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, and he could always ask either Qin Baipeng or Shi Qujin for help.


    Nevertheless, Chen Mobai was inherently averse to trouble, so he certainly wouldn¡¯t bother reaching out to Yan Feng in this way.


    He thought for a moment and decided to ask Pei Qingshuang.


    ¡°I did not expect you to grasp it to this level in just one night.¡±


    The next morning, Pei Qingshuang, who planned to take Chen Mobai for a tour of the Shanhai Academy, was slightly surprised when he asked for guidance.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I looked up some information online and experimented a bit, and I roughly understood.¡±


    Chen Mobai honestly replied, but Pei Qingshuang thought he was being modest. After all, Chen Mobai was an acclaimed Sword Cultivation Genius who had achieved sword light transformation.


    ¡°I practice the Qingxiao Sword Canon, which is a cultivation technique that the previous Qing Shuang Sword user Qing Jing practiced. My mother made some revisions to it to suit my spiritual root and physique. This sword technique is different from the Thirteen Swords of the Sea. Let me demonstrate my Sword Qi for you.¡±


    As Pei Qingshuang spoke, she picked up a piece of white stone and then with her other hand in a sword formation, she delicately inserted the first Sword Qi.


    Chen Mobai opened his Void Spirit Eye and carefully observed the infusion of the second Sword Qi.

 Chapter 688 - Chapter 688: Chapter 417: Bai Guangs Reincarnation_2

    Chapter 688: Chapter 417: Bai Guang¡¯s Reincarnation_2


    Chen Mobai saw that once the sword qi penetrated the White Stone, it quickly tainted and transformed, retaining all the characteristics of its sword qi.


    With the infusion of the third Qing Shuang sword qi, he could see the sword qi embodying three layers of power, changing as fluidly as the vast emerald sky, from persistent rain to the final snowfall.


    ¡°So, that¡¯s how it works. Evolving multiple changes within a single sword Qi, incorporating all the changes. This indeed tests one¡¯s control over the sword Qi.¡±


    After watching Pei Qingshuang¡¯s demonstration, Chen Mobai understood the trick of infusing multiple kinds of sword Qis into the White Stone.


    ¡°The Resonance System of the Purple Electric Sword is made by our Dance Tool Dao Academy. The variation of sword Qi in the White Stone ranges from one to ten, and occupies nearly half of the degree of Resonance. Adding the supplementary conditions like Thunder method, Spiritual Root, Sword Dao Realm, it forms 0 to 100% of the degree of Resonance.¡±


    ¡°Our Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s very own Ruan Zixiu, who practices the Ten Thousand Rivers Sword Canon, can infuse five types of sword Qi into the White Stone. A couple of days ago, he tested his resonance degree with the Purple Electric Sword at the Sword Tower, which came out to be 32%.¡±


    ¡°Another one, Huo Xiqing from the Five Thunder Daoist Academy, though he can only infuse three sword Qi into the White Stone, has a perfect match with the rest of the supplementary conditions due to his practice in Purple Thunder Dharma, resulting in a high Degree of Resonance of 39%.¡±


    After hearing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai finally understood why Hao Cao said that in order to obtain the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai must infuse at least five sword Qi into the White Stone.


    Otherwise, they would have no chance of surpassing these two Gold Core experts in the final round.


    ¡°What about Yan Qiongzhi?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of this new Gold Core expert, who was on par with Lan Haitian but always kept a low profile, and was devoted to cultivating at the Nature Studies Academy.


    ¡°The resonance degree is 16%, which is average.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang did not hide anything and told him everything she knew.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.cO


    ¡°It seems that the Nature Studies Academy has given up on the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly puzzled. Since they had given up, why did they switch to another person at the last moment?


    ¡°Who told you they gave up? The Resonance System is just a data analysis model made by us at the Dance Tool Dao Academy. The final decision is always up to the Purple Electric Sword itself. Sister Yan is guided by a sage of Yunhai, and if she is willing to pay some price, she has a good chance of becoming the final winner.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang shook her head, saying something that surprised Chen Mobai.


    ¡°If the Resonance System cannot decide the final master of the sword, then why should I waste my time testing on this White Stone?¡±


    ¡°In theory, the person with the highest degree of Resonance is the most compatible with the Purple Electric Sword. In our Dance Tool Dao Academy, we always strive to find the most suitable sword-bearer.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang gave a very plausible reason.


    Yet Chen Mobai sensed the underlying meaning of her words from this statement.


    ¡°What kind of conditions can prompt the Purple Electric Sword to ignore the degree of Resonance and make a direct selection?¡±


    ¡°You should ask Sister Yan.¡±


    Not sure whether she didn¡¯t know or couldn¡¯t tell, Pei Qingshuang didn¡¯t answer Chen Mobai¡¯s question directly, but reminded him who he should ask.


    In a short while, the two arrived at Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s residence.


    She was on the same thousand-foot Stone Sword as Chen Mobai, just on the other side due to the difference in gender.


    ¡°Congratulations on the Core Formation, Master Yan.¡±


    The Daoist Academy had numerous rituals for newly formed cores. Chen Mobai chose the ancient ceremony of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and Yan Qiongzhi responded with a polite salute.


    ¡°With your talents, you will undoubtedly join our ranks soon.¡±


    Despite forming her core, Yan Qiongzhi remained gentle and composed. After inviting Chen Mobai and Pei Qingshuang to sit, she waved her hand and summoned a teapot from the void.


    Is this the Gold Core Domain?


    Seeing her actions, Chen Mobai watched with interest. Compared to fetching things from a storage sack, it was indeed much more convenient.


    Furthermore, if what she took out was a Magic Artifact, he would be unable to defend against it.


    As Chen Mobai was distracted by his thoughts, Yan Qiongzhi had already conjured a drop of water, forming a pleasant-smelling tea which landed in front of them.


    ¡°I wonder if I can master this Gold Core Domain?¡±


    Chen Mobai, who wanted to ask about the Purple Electric Sword, saw the Gold Core Domain and thought it was a good segue. So, he started by asking about it.


    ¡°I reckon it¡¯s tough; I didn¡¯t even manage to complete the training.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang, sitting nearby, was the first to respond. She had already reached the Perfection stage of the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment. She didn¡¯t need to queue to use the Realm Portal during her application. Tao Hua personally escorted her on the journey.


    Despite this, Pei Qingshuang couldn¡¯t successfully open the Gold Core Domain during Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°I just got lucky. If I tried again, I might not succeed.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi said this with great modesty, yet she went on to share her experience in opening the Gold Core Domain.


    ¡°Feeling the Power of Void is the entrance step. If you can¡¯t even do this, having exclusive use of the Realm Portal for a year will still be of no use.¡±


    ¡°After the Realm Portal shatters the True Void, the Domain is formed. You need to use your powerful Divine Sense to absorb the Power of Void you felt and open a weak domain. This step depends on the intensity of your Divine Sense.¡±


    ¡°I was fortunate enough to grasp the Rank-3 Freeze Power, which helped me in this step.¡±


    After listening to Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s teachings, Chen Mobai respectfully stood up to thank her. However, she just gave a graceful smile, signalling him to sit down.


    ¡°The actual steps for Gold Core Domain are feeling, gathering, and opening. It¡¯s simple yet complex, the key is whether you can achieve it.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang, who was sitting nearby, nodded in agreement, having had a similar experience. She failed at the step of absorbing enough Power of Void.


    It was the first time she felt powerless.


    She just couldn¡¯t do it.


    ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Yan. Actually, today, I wanted to ask you about the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    After thanking her again, Chen Mobai mentioned the actual purpose of his visit.


    The selection of the master for the Purple Electric Sword was initiated by Cheng Xuan from Dance Tool Dao Academy and Yun Hai from Nature Studies Academy. Therefore, nominally, they were collaborators.


    ¡°As I just achieved Core Formation, I don¡¯t have a Magic Artifact. My senior, Yu Shiling, gave me this opportunity. But my Xuan Bing Jue doesn¡¯t pair well with the Purple Electric Sword. In fact, I just wanted to bring back the Purple Electric Sword for worship.¡±


    ¡°Oh? What do you mean? How can you bring back the Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked for guidance again, but Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s gaze turned to Pei Qingshuang drinking tea on the side, and she asked a different question.


    ¡°The twelve sudden Sword Cultivation Geniuses, they were part of the Mesmerizing Formation, weren¡¯t they?¡±


    ¡°Oh, did Yun Hai tell you?¡±


    As expected, Pei Qingshuang knew the truth. When she heard Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s question, she put down her teacup with slight surprise.


    ¡°The Principal only told me not to insist.¡±


    ¡°I see¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Pei Qingshuang mused.


    She then signaled the two to come closer and quietly started explaining the reality.


    ¡°During the initial screening, someone injected fourteen Sword Qi into a White Stone sent in. This scared the teachers in charge of screening at our Mountain Sea Academy. You should know, even Teacher Hao Cao only has nine Sword Qi.¡±


    ¡°After that, Teacher Hao Cao took the White Stone to meet the Hall Master. Cheng Xuan, Yun Hai, and my mother Tao Hua were also invited.¡±


    ¡°When Teacher Hao Cao returned, he personally reviewed all the White Stones that had been sent. He selected twelve White Stones to cover up the prodigy with the fourteen Sword Qi.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After listening to this, both of them stared at each other in astonishment.


    ¡°Fourteen Sword Qi!? What kind of monster is that?¡±


    Chen Mobai gasped in shock.


    ¡°Monster? Watch your language; that¡¯s the reincarnation of the Elder Bai Guang.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang shot him a look and revealed the truth.

 Chapter 689 - Chapter 689: 418

    Chapter 689: 418


    Chen Mobai, after hearing this, could not help but widen his eyes, a look of disbelief on his face.


    Not only him, even the ordinarily gentle and reserved Yan Qiongzhi couldn¡¯t help but cover her cherry lips in surprise after hearing the truth revealed by Pei Qingshuang. She lost all her composure.


    Obviously, the impact of this matter on them was too great.


    ¡°What does it mean that the reincarnation of Bai Guang Old Ancestor, could it be that the Old Ancestor has already passed away?¡±


    After a long time, Chen Mobai swallowed saliva and asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. I asked my mother about this. She didn¡¯t tell me. But it can be confirmed that the genius who can inject fourteen Sword Qi into the White Stone is the reincarnation of Bai Guang Old Ancestor.¡±


    The reason why she was so sure was that even the Nascent Soul Cultivator in the Xianmen could not do this.


    ¡°Then why should we fight? Just give the Purple Electric Sword to Bai Guang Old Ancestor directly.¡±


    Chen Mobai said with a wry smile, who in the entire Xianmen would dare to compete with the Divinity Transformation Old Ancestor?


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Teacher Hao Cao has already eliminated the reincarnation of Bai Guang Old Ancestor. However, to be on the safe side, he created Twelve Unparalleled Sword Cultivation Geniuses to distract from the reincarnation of Bai Guang Old Ancestor.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang revealed another secret news.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai and Yan Qiongzhi looked at each other and couldn¡¯t help but swallow saliva.


    ¡°Is¡­ President Hao Cao not afraid of being reproached by Bai Guang Old Ancestor for doing this?¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    ¡°The reincarnation of Old Ancestor does not know that he is Bai Guang Old Ancestor. It seems that the Old Ancestor is playing in the world, or it is a way of cultivation. He is still a common Qi Practitioner, still struggling hard for Foundation Establishment. And under the pressure of the Hall Masters and other high-ranking Cultivators, Teacher Hao Cao can only take the blame.¡±


    After hearing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai sympathized silently with Hao Cao. No wonder he seemed to be in a bad mood when I saw him yesterday; he was sharpening his sword all the time.


    Eliminating the reincarnation of Divinity Transformation Old Ancestor without any reason is an order from several Nascent Soul Cultivators. However, when Bai Guang Old Ancestor comes to know about this in the future, he will certainly remember him for this scandal.


    It¡¯s estimated that even if he reaches Nascent Soul Formation, his future will be bleak.


    But this is what the leader makes you carry¡­


    ¡°So it means, who gets this Purple Electric Sword finally depends on you four.¡±


    After Pei Qingshuang finished speaking, Chen Mobai was somewhat relieved.


    ¡°Cui, you are a teacher of the Mountain and Sea Academy. I guess you must have figured out the way our Nature Studies Academy wants to get the Purple Electric Sword back.¡±


    Within a faint smile, Yan Qiongzhi proceeded to answer the question Chen Mobai asked earlier. Pei Qingshuang nodded approvingly after hearing it.


    ¡°If Ruan Zixiu becomes the master of the Purple Electric Sword, he definitely won¡¯t give up the Ten Thousand Rivers Sword Canon which he has practiced for hundreds of years. Therefore, the Purple Electric Sword needs to adapt to him. Even if the man and sword become one in the end, the sword¡¯s spirit will suffer a big loss. Only after Ruan Zixiu reaches the Nascent Soul Formation, the Purple Electric Sword can possibly get restored.¡±


    ¡°As for Huo Xiqing, his Purple Thunder Dharma is perfectly compatible with the Purple Electric Sword. But he is not a Sword Cultivator. Besides, he desires to use the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method to absorb the essence of the Purple Electric Sword for his use. While this method will also bind the cultivator and the sword, we do not know whether the Purple Electric Sword is willing to take this risk.¡±


    ¡°If you, Sister Yan, tell the Purple Electric Sword to choose you as its master, it will neither need to reduce its spirit nor need to donate its essence. It¡¯s just about changing its place of worship. In situations where the sword must make a choice, it might overlook the Resonance degree and choose our Nature Studies Academy.¡¯


    Pei Qingshuang expressed her guess. Although Rank-4 swords are rare in Xianmen, many years of peace have made the Cultivators focus more on raising their own Realms and extending their lifespan.


    Even the Golden Core Cultivator badly needs the Purple Electric Sword, but would not risk damaging its foundation for a sword.


    Ruan Zixiu will not change his cultivation to the compatible Purple Thunder Dharma of the Purple Electric Sword. Huo Xiqing desires the Purple Electric Sword because it can use the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Technique to co-cultivate the power of this rank-4 sword to improve himself.


    If either of these two Golden Core Cultivators becomes the master of the sword, the Purple Electric Sword will have to make many sacrifices from the beginning.


    And making this sacrifice, the only hope for the future is that the master of the sword can successfully reach the Nascent Soul Formation.


    If he fails, then the rank of the Purple Electric Sword will fall and might never recover to Rank-4.


    On the contrary, if Yan Qiongzhi is chosen, even though she will be the master of the sword, she will not ask the sword to merge with her. Therefore, this rank-4 sword will not have the risk of falling.


    It¡¯s just like the sword is changing its nurturing place from the Mountain and Sea Academy to the Nature Studies Academy.


    After listening to the conversation of the two women, Chen Mobai had an enlightened look on his face.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    So, the Purple Electric Sword choosing its master is like a recruitment interview.


    It¡¯s like three companies offering a pay raise to the Purple Electric Sword:


    The condition of Ruan Zixiu is that the Purple Electric Sword should follow him. Although the conditions are a bit tough now, the original skills are not very useful. It needs to learn the Ten Thousand Rivers Sword Canon to adapt to him. But the future is bright. Once I reach Nascent Soul Formation, you will be an even more versatile Rank-4 Sword.


    Huo Xiqing¡¯s condition is that it is perfectly compatible with the Purple Electric Sword. It can get started immediately. But the current company is a bit in a downturn, needs the sword to work without any returns, and also needs to contribute its savings to the company. But the future is also bright. Once I reach the Nascent Soul Formation, you can display your fully potent power.


    The condition of Yan Qiongzhi for the Purple Electric Sword is the best. As long as it agrees to come, it will be provided with food and shelter and doesn¡¯t need to work. The only disadvantage is that there is no future, it will stay the same in this life.

 Chapter 690 - Chapter 690: Chapter 418: Scapegoat_2

    Chapter 690: Chapter 418: Scapegoat_2


    ¡°So, is it about whether the Purple Lightning Sword wants to have a future or just to lay low?¡±


    Chen Mobai concluded with a sudden realization.


    At first, the two women found it a bit strange, but soon they realized that this summary was excellent, hitting the nail on the head.


    ¡°What conditions have you prepared?¡±


    Pei Qingshuang asked Chen Mobai, who was a bit slow to react. After contemplating his advantages, he found that it might be pretty straightforward.


    Offer better treatment.


    ¡°Mine are similar to those of Master Yan. But I¡¯m just a puny Foundation Establishment cultivator; I presume the Purple Lightning Sword won¡¯t be interested in me.¡±


    Chen Mobai mocked himself, even though he was considered the second Lan Haitian. Until he surpassed the hurdle of Core Formation, he would forever remain as a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    Compared to the other three Core Formation cultivators, at least they have hope for Nascent Soul Formation.


    Even though he had good potential, if he wanted to form a core, he would have to make the Purple Lightning Sword wait at least sixty more years.


    After the sword chose its master, the heavens would not provide the minimum conditions of Spirit Stone Spiritual Qi. If the Purple Lightning Sword were to follow a Foundation Establishment cultivator for sixty years, it might even fall in its rank.


    Moreover, every magic artifact has a lifespan after being forged.


    In the world of cultivation, only a few handfuls of materials are forever-lasting. Even if they are extraordinarily precious, they would decay after experiencing the vicissitudes of time.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    For this reason, the Treasure Trove periodically chooses magic artifacts that are near their lifespan and refines them into talisman treasures and talisman artifacts, extracting their last value.


    Although the Purple Lightning Sword is a Rank-4 sword, theoretically it could last for thousands of years under abundant spiritual energy.


    But the problem is the lack of spiritual energy; the heavens certainly prioritize providing to Rank-5 treasures and above.


    The Daoist Academy spends more than half its annual budget on the Sea-settling Sword, leaving for the Purple Lightning Sword just barely enough to maintain its minimum operation.


    ¡°I wonder if the Purple Lightning Sword likes Spirit Stones?¡±


    With this thought, a novel idea flashed across Chen Mobai¡¯s mind.


    On the other side, Pei Qingshuang had already started consulting Yan Qiongzhi about her Core Formation experience. Yan generously shared every minute detail, not only broadcasting her own Core Formation clip but voluntarily explaining the subtle changes in her condition.


    Chen Mobai watched attentively.


    Yan Qiongzhi performed her Core Formation at the Jumang Daoist Academy, home to the most potent water vein in the Heaven. She borrowed a Rank-4 high-grade spiritual energy cultivation room to begin her Core Formation after the offline exchange meeting at the Daoist Academy.


    Thanks to Wen Bo and Pei Qingshuang, otherwise with her Foundation Establishment level at the time, she would have probably only secured a lower-grade room.


    Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s Core Formation process took an entire year. Instead of consuming the Water Element Gold Core Medicine at the start, she gradually increased her spiritual power and divine sense, initiating the Core Formation process without any Gold Core Spiritual Material.


    She successfully triggered it, but her own foundation was not sufficient to breakthrough by herself.


    This year of trying allowed her body to adapt to the rhythm of Core Formation.


    Therefore, it was a natural progression after she consumed the Water Element Gold Core Medicine.


    This is in the Heaven. If it were in the Eastern Wilderness, the Heavenly Tribulation alone that lasts a year would be disturbing enough, leaving no mental energy to focus on Core Formation.


    Yan Qiongzhi shared her successful experience. She had a Freezing Technique that could slow down the condensation of spiritual power at critical junctures.


    This technique gave her more control over the Core Formation process, allowing her to sample and refine, laying the foundation for her eventual success.


    After listening, Chen Mobai asked about the Freezing Technique.


    Yan Qiongzhi didn¡¯t hide anything, but this powerful technique could only be used by an ice spirit root cultivator who practiced the Xuan Bing Jue.


    Although Pei Qingshuang also had a gold and water True Spirit Root, she decided not to convert to an Ice Spirit Root in order to practice the Qingxiao Sword Canon.


    Let alone Chen Mobai, with his Pure Yang Scroll Foundation, it conflicted with the Freezing Technique.


    Nevertheless, both of them still asked Yan Qiongzhi for the Freezing Technique, even if they couldn¡¯t master it, it was worth a look.


    ¡°The immortal sects have many techniques that are helpful for Core Formation, you should focus your efforts on those that match with your own cultivation techniques and spiritual roots, and not expend too much effort on my Freezing Technique.¡±


    After transferring the electronic copy to both of them, Yan Qiongzhi gave another reminder.


    After chatting for a while longer, Chen Mobai and Pei Qingshuang took their leave.


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai inquired about Yan Bingxuan¡¯s situation, after all, his old classmate had only a year and a half left. If she did not establish her foundation, with her personality, she would definitely go into military service.


    ¡°After I advanced to Core Formation, the permissions on the Immortal Sect network greatly increased, and I¡¯ve already reserved some ¡®Snow Spirit Water¡¯ for Xuan.¡±


    The most powerful privilege of a Rank-3 user on the Immortal Sect network is that every month they can select one item released by the official Immortal Sect, and reserve it for themselves before it goes on sale.


    After Yan Qiongzhi advanced to become a Golden Core Cultivator, this privilege could be used to reserve Snow Spirit Water.


    ¡°I heard her say, Water Mist Ice Crystal is also useful for her Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Chen Mobai was still a bit concerned about the beautiful Yan, he had always remembered these two useful items for her Foundation Establishment.


    ¡°¡®Water Mist Ice Crystal¡¯ isn¡¯t available from the official Immortal Sect, and if I were to personally go to the polar sea territories to refine it, it would take several years, which would not make it in time for her graduation. Now we can only hope that she can successfully achieve Foundation Establishment with the aid of the Three Treasures for Foundation Establishment and the Snow Spirit Water.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi also lamented that if one wanted to artificially produce Water Mist Ice Crystals of Rank-2 and above, one would have to go to the icy sea areas at the poles of the Earth Elemental Star, and condense it from the extremely cold Water Elemental Essence.


    With Yan Bingxuan having only a year and a half left until graduation, there just wasn¡¯t enough time.


    Chen Mobai took note of this, and planned to ask his eldest disciple Liu Wenbo about this once he returned to the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°I¡¯ve told you all the information about the Purple Electric Sword, don¡¯t let me down.¡±


    After leaving Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s residence, as Chen Mobai and Pei Qingshuang flew along the road, he suddenly heard the latter say.


    ¡°Do you really hope that much for me to become the sword master of the Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    ¡°After all, the story of ¡®Purple Lightning Qingshuang¡¯ is too famous. I¡¯m already the sword master of the Qing Shuang Sword, and it¡¯s definite that the general public of the immortal sects will pair me with the sword master of the Purple Electric Sword to discuss. The other few are all real Golden Core Cultivators, it¡¯s too much pressure for me to be compared with them.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang gave a reason, and Chen Mobai glanced at her in surprise.


    ¡°Being compared with you, it should be the real Golden Core Cultivators who feel the pressure, right?¡±


    ¡°After reaching the Core Formation, one is already a part of the upper echelons of the immortal sects, becoming a councillor in the Kaiyuan Hall, nominally a manager of the immortal sects. These people all have the potential to go further, and will not feel pressured because I am the daughter of Immortal Tao Hua.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang seriously explained to Chen Mobai, who responded with a knowing smile.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do my best. But, suppose I become the sword master of the Purple Electric Sword, and reach Core Formation before you, won¡¯t you feel even more pressure?¡±


    ¡°Absolutely not.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang shook her head with full confidence, the sixty-year limit on the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine in the Immortal Sect was a certainty, she would definitely reach Core Formation before Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai did not mention the possibility of her failing to reach Core Formation, as that would be a bit too lacking in in emotional intelligence.


    As for the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, he had no plans to obtain it from the Immortal Sect.


    ¡°I¡¯m leaving, call me if you need anything. White Stone, you still need to work harder, the resonance degree is still useful for the Purple Electric Sword.¡±

    At this point, the two of them had flown to the middle of the sword handle, and Chen Mobai¡¯s residence was just a little further away. Pei Qingshuang did not escort him all the way, and bid her farewell here.


    ¡°Yes, after watching your demonstration, I¡¯ve understood the trick. Releasing five streams of sword qi should be no problem.¡±


    Chen Mobai casually replied, some problems are just that simple. Once punctured, the mindset opens up hugely.


    ¡°What I like is your self-assured attitude.¡±


    Leaving behind these words, Pei Qingshuang flew away contentedly.

 Chapter 691 - Chapter 691: Chapter 419 Sword Tower_1

    Chapter 691: Chapter 419 Sword Tower_1


    Half a month later, Chen Mobai looked at the white stone shimmering with the brilliance of the Five Elements in his palm, nodding his head in satisfaction.


    With his exceptional realm of Sword Light Shapeshifting, having known the knack and after a period of exploring, he was naturally able to infuse all the Five Elements Sword Qi into a white stone.


    Having accomplished this, it was in Chen Mobai¡¯s nature to immediately hand it over to Hao Cao.


    Of course, he also didn¡¯t forget to bring along Pei Qingshuang, because being able to do so was largely thanks to her teaching without reservation.


    ¡°Have you considered specializing in Sword Dao?¡±


    Having examined the white stone infused with the Five Elements Sword Qi, Hao Cao gave a slight nod, then asked Chen Mobai this question.


    ¡°I¡¯ve always been practicing Sword Dao, but besides Sword Dao, I also don¡¯t want to give up on charms and puppets.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew clearly how he achieved his current state in Sword Dao Realm, once he specializes in Sword Dao, his true nature might be exposed soon. Therefore, he answered the way a genius should ¨C he wanted everything.


    ¡°One¡¯s energy is limited, only by focusing and specializing can one reach the pinnacle.¡±


    It was Hao Cao¡¯s first time encountering a peerless Sword Cultivation Genius like Chen Mobai. He still wanted to try his best to guide him onto the right path of Sword Dao.


    ¡°Although that is said, I haven¡¯t yet felt my own energy limits. If I feel overwhelmed one day in the future, I may give up the other two and concentrate only on Sword Dao.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that Hao Cao was cherishing his exceptional talent in Sword Light Shapeshifting since his Foundation Establishment. Therefore, he was very polite in his words.


    ¡°Alright, figure it out yourself. However, when dealing with the great bottlenecks of Core Formation and Nascent Soul Formation, you¡¯ll be troubled for a long time. You have outstanding talent. Besides Sword Dao, it is also appropriate to study some other Hundred Immortal Skills.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    Hao Cao was a Rank-3 Artifact Refiner himself, who had also studied at Dance Tool Dao Academy. If the cultivators had a chance to forge a Rank-4 sword-artifact in recent years, he might have received the Rank-4 professional certificate a while ago.


    ¡°Teacher, should we go to the Purple Electric Sword side, to test the resonance degree?¡±


    At this time, Pei Qingshuang reminded.


    During the previous selection phase, this process was conducted by the teachers of Shanhai Academy, and Pei Qingshuang was one of them.


    However, after the appearance of the white stone with Bai Guang¡¯s fourteen Sword Qi, Hao Cao had to personally handle the matter himself.


    ¡°Follow me.¡±


    After Hao Cao said this, he waved his sleeve and led them towards the last thousand-foot stone sword.


    This place was the world-famous Sword Tower of Shanhai Academy.


    It held over half of the top-notch flying swords within the cultivation world.


    The Sword Tower had five floors, which were classified according to the grade of the flying swords.


    The first floor housed Rank-1 swords, amounting to tens of thousands. However, only one-fifth of these were forged by Shanhai Academy itself.


    The rest were sent over by various Sword Cultivators after their physical decay, hoping Shanhai Academy could help find suitable successors.


    Due to the overwhelming amount of Rank-1 flying swords, Shanhai Academy ceased collecting them a hundred years ago.


    The Rank-1 flying swords currently displayed in the Sword Tower were essentially all high-quality ones within Rank-1 categorization.


    The highest fifth floor was where the Sea-settling Sword resided.


    The Purple Electric Sword was on the fourth floor.


    Chen Mobai accompanied Hao Cao, climbing up the staircase from the bottom, one floor at a time.


    It seemed the Sword Tower had rules against flying. During their ascent, Chen Mobai saw numerous flying swords of weird shapes and sizes.


    The first floor of the Sword Tower was brimming. The vast space of several dozen feet in height was covered with rows of flying swords, some even marked for reservation, indicating they¡¯d be taken away soon.


    Shanhai Academy selects more than ten Rank-1 Flying Swords and one Rank-2 Flying Sword from the Sword Tower every month, selling them on their flagship store on the Immortal Portal at very low Good Deed Points prices.


    For them, helping the flying swords find suitable masters mattered more than earning Good Deed Points.


    The price for a Rank-1 flying sword was 10,000 Good Deed Points, and a Rank-2 sword only required 100,000.


    You should know that when Chen Mobai purchased Luan Jingsheng¡¯s Five Transformations Umbrella, it had also cost him almost tens of thousands Good Deed Points.


    Even the worst sword offered from the Sword Tower of Shanhai Academy far surpassed the original version of the Five Transformations Umbrella.


    ¡°When I was young, I also dreamed of having a flying sword, unfortunately I never got the chance.¡±


    Chen Mobai talked with Pei Qingshuang beside him.


    As the most fashionable profession, sword cultivation was always most popular in the cultivation world.


    Who doesn¡¯t want to own a flying sword?


    Chen Mobai¡¯s initial money-saving goal was to accumulate 10,000 Good Deed Points so he could buy a flying sword.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Our childhood dreams were the same, I¡¯ve saved enough Good Deed Points to buy a Rank-2 flying sword, but never got the opportunity. So I came here to university instead. Shanhai Academy students can receive a flying sword for free as soon as they enroll. I saved this opportunity to get the approval of the Qing Shuang Sword after getting to Foundation Establishment.¡±


    While Pei Qingshuang talked, she proudly patted the handle of the sword at her waist. Chen Mobai just smiled and kept silent.


    He didn¡¯t recognize her second-generation lifestyle.


    The difficulty she faced in acquiring the Qing Shuang Sword couldn¡¯t be compared with his own.


    The second floor of the Sword Tower was also almost full ¨C with about a thousand Rank-2 swords, all high-quality ones within the second rank.

 Chapter 692 - Chapter 692: Chapter 419 Sword Tower_2

    Chapter 692: Chapter 419 Sword Tower_2


    In a quick glance, Chen Mobai spotted over a dozen flying swords better in quality than his Flying Sparrow Hairpin.


    Soon, they arrived on the third floor.


    Chen Mobai opened his eyes wide, wanting to see exactly how many Rank-3 flying swords were in the Sword Tower.


    Unfortunately, the Rank-3 flying swords were not as easily accessible or visibly displayed as those on the two lower floors. Instead, they were all sealed within one sword box or sword bag after another.


    Chen Mobai carefully counted¨Cthere were thirty-seven in total.


    But were those sword boxes and bags truly filled, or were they empty?


    He asked Pei Qingshuang next to him, but she shook her head, saying that storing and nurturing the swords above the third floor were personally done by Hao Cao.


    Pei Qingshuang had spent quite some time on the fourth floor and once considered opening other sword boxes out of boredom. Unfortunately, she could only open the box containing her Qing Shuang sword.


    While the two conversed, they finally reached the fourth floor.


    Seeing the four sword boxes and two sword bags levitating against the wall, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be slightly shocked.


    Were there really six Rank-4 swords in the Sword Tower?


    ¡°That sword box used to contain my Qing Shuang sword, but it¡¯s empty now,¡± Pei Qingshuang said, pointing to a dark green sword box covered in frost patterns.


    That said, were there only five Rank-4 swords left? One or possibly more of the boxes could be empty, with only the Purple Electric Sword remaining.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site


    As Chen Mobai pondered this, Hao Cao approached a deep purple sword box. He performed a simple hand seal, and the box opened.


    A wash of purple light appeared, revealing a longsword about 1.2 meters long to Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze.


    What caught his eye the most though, was the Spirit Stone next to the Purple Electric Sword. A pure stream of Spiritual Energy continuously poured into the sword, seemingly nourishing it.


    Chen Mobai was unsure of the grade of the Spirit Stone and dared not carelessly probe it with his Divine Sense. However, since Pei Qingshuang surely knew, he asked her.


    ¡°That¡¯s a high-grade Spirit Stone subsidized by the Immortal Sect. A single stone can sustain the requirements of the Purple Electric Sword for ten years,¡± she replied.


    Having heard this, Chen Mobai relaxed and started to admire the Rank-4 sword.


    A round handle with cloud patterns, long, narrow blade¨Cthe design was simple yet elegant.


    The blade had eight faces and two degrees of curvature, making it straight and proper. It looked plain and unpretentious yet exuded a sense of dignity and majesty.


    Hao Cao placed the White Stone next to the Purple Electric Sword. He then entered a series of codes into a screen on the inside of the box, causing the Purple Electric Sword to flicker.


    ¡°Resonance degree of 25%.¡±


    Upon seeing the number displayed on the screen, Chen Mobai found it fascinating.


    This experience was similar to his first time using the formless mannequin back at Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°In the resonance degree, the Sword Qi from the White Stone accounts for half. However, when I initially set it up, I configured that ten strands of Sword Qi would be the full score. So your five strands represent this 25%,¡± Hao Cao explained.


    ¡°The remaining 50% includes Thunder method, sword technique, Spiritual Root, and more.¡±


    ¡°Reach out your hand and grab the hilt according to my instructions, then display your Thunder method¡­¡±


    Hao Cao guided Chen Mobai to come over, explaining the details of the Resonance System to him. This was a test that was usually conducted in the final round.


    However, for the final four candidates, an early attempt did not break any rules.


    Following Hao Cao¡¯s guidance, Chen Mobai extended his hands and gripped the hilt of the Purple Electric Sword in the box.


    The rounded hilt still had some space left even when held with both hands. Without the wrapping of the Spiritual Rope, the feel was smooth and cool to the touch.


    Sizzle!


    Accompanying the eruption of Yi Wood Divine Thunder from Chen Mobai¡¯s fingertips, the dormant Purple Electric Sword seemed to awaken, with purple arcs of light appearing on its blade.


    Chen Mobai felt the Divine Thunder he channeled being absorbed by the sword hilt, but he dared not stop as Hao Cao had not yet given the command. He could only secretly stimulate his Longevity Spiritual Power to keep the thunder manifesting.


    About fifteen minutes later, Chen Mobai felt that more than half of the Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qi Sea had been consumed. He didn¡¯t want to risk exposing his perfect Foundation Establishment level of his Longevity Spiritual Power by continuing like this.


    Upon a moment of contemplation, he thought it was better to be cautious. He signaled to Hao Cao standing next to him that his spiritual power was almost exhausted.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s leave it at that.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Hao Cao disconnected Chen Mobai from the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°Don¡¯t we need to test the Sword Dao Realm?¡±


    Chen Mobai took a moment to recover, pretending to have regained his power. Seeing Hao Cao about to close the sword box of the Purple Electric Sword, he couldn¡¯t help but inquire curiously.


    ¡°The Sword Qi within the White Stone can estimate your Sword Dao Realm, but the crux lies in the final round, the communication with the spirituality of the Purple Electric Sword. All your spiritual root talent and sword cultivation will be sensed clearly by the Purple Electric Sword at that time in the Sea of Consciousness, so there¡¯s no need for it this time.¡±


    Before closing the sword box, Hao Cao gestured Chen Mobai to look at the numbers on the screen.


    Resonance Degree 33%.


    This score was already superior to Ruan Zixiu, the Core Formation sword cultivator of Shanhai Academy. However, Hao Cao kept a calm face, apparently not surprised at all.


    ¡°Your talent in the Thunder Method is indeed extraordinary. It¡¯s just a pity that the attribute of Yi Wood Divine Thunder is different from that of Purple Sky Divine Thunder, so it only added 8%.¡±


    After explaining the issue of resonance to Chen Mobai, Hao Cao led them towards the fifth floor.


    Pei Qingshuang had mentioned earlier that Chen Mobai wanted to pay his respects to the Sea-settling Sword.


    Such request would definitely be catered to by Hao Cao.


    The whole fifth floor was empty.


    Only in the center was a nearly two-meter-long rectangular piece of jade, which was slightly transparent, and it was faintly visible that a cyan longsword was sealed inside.


    ¡°Is this¡­ a Spirit Stone!?¡±


    Chen Mobai followed Hao Cao to the long rectangular jade, slightly puzzled, he asked.


    He was very familiar with spirit stones, but he could not sense any spiritual energy from this stone, it was like a common piece of jade.


    However, common spirit-providing equipment was simply not enough to nourish high-grade magic artifacts in the Immortal Sect, and spirit stones were usually used.


    ¡°Yes, this is a top-grade Spirit Stone of the Immortal Sect, transformed into the Sword Box for the Sea-Settling Sword, but it can only last for sixty years.¡±


    Upon hearing about the top-grade spirit stone, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes widened.


    Even in the entire Eastern Wilderness, one could not find a top-grade spirit stone. It was unexpected that the Immortal Sect possessed such resources.


    The price of a single top-grade spirit stone roughly converted to the good deed points of the Immortal Sect would amount to 10 billion.


    And this was just enough to maintain the Sea-Settling Sword for sixty years.


    No wonder Gongye Zhixu was willing to invest the Primordial Yang Sword into the expansion of the Little Red Sky. The Pure Yang Academy could not even utter a word against it.


    Without the subsidy of the Immortal Sect, a university like theirs could hardly sustain a Rank-5 high-grade flying sword!


    After paying respect to the Sea-settling Sword, Chen Mobai left the Sword Tower with inexplicable feelings.


    Originally, he thought he had already amassed a fortune by setting up a puppet factory. Now, he realized he was still a bit poor.


    He wondered if he could coax this Rank-4 Sword over by promising the Purple Electric Sword ten times the spirit stone treatment?


    As Chen Mobai pondered about raising the offer to twenty times the usual, someone came to visit him unexpectedly.


    ¡°Yan Feng?¡±


    Seeing the person at the door, Chen Mobai looked surprised. The old rival during the Danxia City entrance exam, who had already successfully established his foundation and was considered brilliant amongst his peers, yet when compared to himself, seemed rather mediocre.


    ¡°I heard that the top student of the Dance Instrument Daoist Academy had arrived. Considering we come from the same city, I thought of paying a visit. Do you need me to show you around Shanhai Academy or the White Stone Cave Sky?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Yan Feng politely greeted Chen Mobai, seemingly devoid of the resentment he held when he lost the enrollment examination to him. His eyes and attitude demonstrated respect.


    ¡°Thank you, but Pei Qingshuang has already shown me around.¡±


    ¡°Teacher Pei Qingshuang? Only someone like you, who is the pride of heaven, would be a match for her.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Chen Mobai felt a bit strange.


    ¡°Wait a minute, what do you mean by that? What do you mean ¡®a match for her¡¯?¡±

 Chapter 693 - Chapter 693: Chapter 420 Three acquaintances_1

    Chapter 693: Chapter 420 Three acquaintances_1


    ¡°The legend of the Purple Lightning and Qingshuang is well known. If you become the master of the Purple Electric Sword, wouldn¡¯t that make you a perfect match with Teacher Pei Qingshuang?¡±


    Yan Feng said with surprise. In the eyes of the cultivators, the Purple Lightning and Qingshuang were definitely a pair.


    ¡°Ah, let¡¯s not mention that again. It¡¯s one thing for me as a man, but Senior Pei is pure and unblemished. If we spread this rumor, wouldn¡¯t it harm her reputation?¡±


    Chen Mobai was always considerate of the reputation of women. He immediately set his attitude straight when he saw hints of such gossip appearing.


    ¡°I admire your noble character, Brother Chen.¡±


    Yan Feng couldn¡¯t help but show respect after hearing his words.


    The information within the cultivators¡¯ circle was quite transparent. Anyone with a mind to search could find out about Pei Qingshuang¡¯s background.


    Even when there was a chance that he might possess the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai respectfully distanced himself from her. This made Yan Feng, who already held him in high regard, admire him even more.


    ¡°Most of the last few rounds of our generation¡¯s entrance exam takers have reached the Foundation Establishment.¡±


    The two began to talk about the past.


    Their generation was considered to be one of the golden periods in the history of Red Sandstone City. Among the students who graduated, Chen Mobai, Qing Women, Yan Feng, Gong Xiangyu, Shi Yuanqing, and Cao Yaling have successfully reached Foundation Establishment.


    Among them, Chen Mobai and Qing Women are Daoist seeds of the Daoist Academy and are basically considered to have no obstacles to Core Formation.


    Besides these six, there are two more Different Spiritual Root geniuses, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, who have already been dismissed by the cultivators.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    The last time Red Sandstone City had such outstanding students was a hundred years ago during the era of the Red Robed truth seeker Yu Tianguang.


    If Chen Mobai and Qing Women can reach Core Formation, then the value of their class will instantly surpass that of the Red Robed truth seeker¡¯s era, making them the best class in Red Sandstone City over the past thousand years.


    A thousand years ago, Red Sandstone City produced a Gold Core Perfection cultivator named Yan Canzhang. Although he failed in his Transforming Infant, he was still hailed as the most outstanding cultivator since the establishment of this blessed land, Red Sandstone City.


    This Yan Canzhang was Yan Feng¡¯s ancestor and also a graduate of the Mountain Sea Academy.


    Yan Feng coming here was also seen as following the path of his ancestors.


    ¡°So that¡¯s why you had the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman.¡±


    Chen Mobai showed a flash of realization on his face after talking about Yan Canzhang with Yan Feng.


    ¡°In fact, before my ancestor passed away, he left behind hundreds of Heaven Heart Sword Talismans. After I used that one, there are still more than a dozen in my family. However, to sell at a higher price, we declared to the outside that they were all the last ones.¡±


    Yan Feng laughed as he spoke of this.


    In the cultivators¡¯ circle, the inheritance is orderly. Before the powerful cultivators pass away, they usually leave enough wealth for their descendants to cultivate for several generations.


    For instance, the ancestor Zhongli left behind a furnace of Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, a dose of Infant-Transforming Elixir. If their descendants were promising, every generation could reach the Nascent Soul stage, enough to sustain the lineage for ten thousand years.


    Although Yan Canzhang was just a Gold Core cultivator, he was still considered a master talisman maker of the Rank-4.


    The Heaven Heart Sword Talisman was his masterpiece.


    Before he passed away, despite having almost emptied his wealth for longevity, he still possessed the skill to draw talismans.


    A hundred Heaven Heart Sword Talismans were the wealth he left for his descendants.


    As one of the few ¡°ungraded¡± talisman designs within the cultivators¡¯ circle, a Heaven Heart Sword Talisman could be exchanged for a complete set of three treasures for Foundation Establishment.


    Because of this, every generation of the Yan family has had a True Cultivator who has reached Foundation Establishment since Yan Canzhang passed away a thousand years ago.


    ¡°Since the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman is so precious, why haven¡¯t the Yan family descendants tried to draw it on their own?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a commoner in Red Sandstone City before, so he didn¡¯t know of the Yan family¡¯s power. No wonder Yan Feng was considered the top contender during the entrance exams.


    Everyone expected him to be able to enter the four great Daoist Academies.


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Yan Feng gave a bitter smile, shook his head and said, ¡°Although the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman is ungraded, the difficulty of drawing it is almost the same as that of a Rank-3 top-grade talisman. Although the Yan family has produced Rank-3 Talisman Makers, the success rate of drawing this talisman is less than one percent.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, to draw this talisman, one needs Rank-3 Azure Sky Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman.¡±


    ¡°The Azure Sky Talisman Paper¡¯s raw material is the pulp of a Rank-3 Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, while the Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman¡¯s raw material is Rank-3 Ling Sha. My Yan family could afford to buy and produce them at our peak but now I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no factory producing this talisman paper and talisman ink in the whole cultivator¡¯s world.¡±


    The Heaven Heart Sword Talisman was a masterpiece completed by Yan Canzhang and another Rank-4 Talisman Maker from the Heavenly Book Academy. Hence, the method of drawing this talisman exists in the libraries of both academies. Of course, the Yan family must have Yan Canzhang¡¯s personal notes on drawing the talisman.


    Despite this, over the past thousand years, no cultivator in the Yan family has come to fully master the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman.


    ¡°I see¡­¡±


    Listening to Yan Feng¡¯s exposition, Chen Mobai nodded in understanding. He immediately took out his smartphone and searched for information about the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman on the Talisman Maker Association forum.

    Soon, a complete set of data and video tutorials on how to blend the talisman paper and ink and the drawing method of the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman appeared.


    The president of the Talisman Maker Association is the principal of the Heavenly Book Academy and the only Rank-5 Talisman maker, Yu Yi.


    Therefore, it¡¯s perfectly normal for the Talisman Maker Association to have complete information on this talisman.


    There were many posts related to the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman on the forum, documenting the various difficulties encountered when drawing this talisman.


    Talisman paper and ink of Rank-3 and above were basically custom-made.

 Chapter 694 - Chapter 694: Chapter 420 Three acquaintances_2

    Chapter 694: Chapter 420 Three acquaintances_2


    The Azure Sky Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman, due to their materials being sourced from Red Sandstone City, were mainly produced in the talisman factories nearby.


    However, the factories here are mediocre, and there are no Talisman Masters left who can manufacture the rank-3 Azure Sky Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman.


    Even in the past, only the cultivators from the Yan family were skilled enough to do so.


    This is why Yan Feng had said that none in the Immortal Sect could produce these anymore, as only his retired, Foundation Establishment uncle in their family still held these skills.


    But now, this elder from the Yan family is retired and maintaining his health and longevity.


    After bidding Yan Feng goodbye, Chen Mobai started contemplating about making Azure Sky Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman his next target once his talisman factory was on track.


    If he managed to earn the rank of a Rank-3 Talisman Maker, he could consider making the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman his next ambition.


    After all, if these items were introduced to the Eastern Wilderness, they would definitely yield a lot of Spirit Stones.


    Maintaining occasional contact with old classmates could be quite beneficial, he thought, as it even provided ideas for becoming rich.


    While thinking about this, Chen Mobai remembered Yan Bingxuan.


    He knew everything about the situation of the Purple Electric Sword here, and he decided to return to Crimson City first as the final round was not until the end of the year.


    Then, he could go to the Eastern Wilderness to see if he could purchase any Water Mist Ice Crystals. After all, Yan Bingxuan must be aiming for a Foundation Establishment attempt this year after obtaining Snow Spirit Water.


    Even if she did fail, she would still have a chance next year.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Meng Huang has understood the threshold method. If she could establish her foundation soon, it would relieve a worry for Chen Mobai too.


    But just when Chen Mobai was about to take his leave, Pei Qingshuang suddenly informed him that the final round had been brought forward.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Chen Mobai was a little confused.


    ¡°To avoid any unnecessary complications, and since the four of you are all present in the Sea and Mountain Academy, we thought it best not to waste time and go for it directly,¡± Pei Qingshuang said, shrugging.


    However, Chen Mobai felt that the academy was being overly cautious. There¡¯s no way a second Divinity Transformation reincarnation could possibly disturb their final round, not after Hao Cao had eliminated Bai Guang¡¯s reincarnation.


    But since the academy, the organizer, had made this decision, which was also harmless to them, Chen Mobai naturally did not oppose it.


    ¡°When is the final round?¡± Chen Mobai asked the most crucial question.


    ¡°In seven days, the twelve unparalleled Sword Cultivation geniuses selected by teacher Hao Cao will rush here. Then, the sixteen of you will be subjected to the choice of the Purple Electric Sword,¡± Pei Qingshuang explained. After she finished, Chen Mobai nodded, indicating that he was prepared.


    After all, in terms of cultivation level, he had no chance of surpassing those three Gold Core Real Persons within a year. So, this arrangement was even better for him.


    It¡¯s up to the Purple Electric Sword now, if it liked Spirit Stones or not.


    ¡°Don¡¯t let me down,¡± Pei Qingshuang said, her eyes swirling, as she prepared to leave, making Chen Mobai slightly frown.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do my best.¡± He wanted to say more, but confronted with Pei Qingshuang¡¯s clear, strong gaze, he could only say this much.


    [But aren¡¯t we not that close?] He watched her slender figure disappearing, and couldn¡¯t help but wonder.


    Nevertheless, he quickly put these trivial matters aside and started to prepare wholeheartedly for the upcoming final round of the Purple Electric Sword selection.


    As it was unfamiliar territory for him here at the Sea and Mountain Academy, he didn¡¯t dare to take out his storage bag and teleport to the Eastern Wilderness.


    It¡¯s been a while since he had contacted Meng Huang, so he decided to visit her in the hotel where she lived.


    Originally, according to Chen Mobai¡¯s character, after Meng Huang had mastered the threshold method, their relationship should have returned to what it was, before their trade agreement.


    In the hotel where she stayed, to avoid any suspicions, he had rented a separate room for himself.


    After setting up a talisman in the room to block prying eyes, he took out all the Spirit Stones from his storage bag.


    The most precious of them were, of course, the five superior quality Spirit Stones.


    These stones were supposed to be used for the Pure Yang Purple Qi cultivation of the formless puppet, but Chen Mobai thought that, if he used all the superior Spirit Stones, he wouldn¡¯t be able to fully utilise the puppet¡¯s foundation level strength in case of a formidable enemy in the future.


    Moreover, the Pure Yang Purple Qi didn¡¯t really have much of an effect on him currently, so after cultivating half a gourd¡¯s worth of it, almost one unit, he decisively stopped this activity.


    Apart from these five superior Spirit Stones, there were also the raw Spirit Stones he had obtained from Lonely Spirit Ridge.


    This massive Spirit Stone contained about as much spiritual energy as three to four superior Spirit Stones. But because Chen Mobai had drawn some of it when consuming the Immortal Peach, it was now roughly equivalent to less than three superior quality Spirit Stones.


    But Chen Mobai felt that, this would be the best welcoming gift for the Purple Electric Sword.


    After all, the raw ore Spirit Stone was gigantic in size, it allows the Purple Electric Sword to immerse wholeheartedly in the bath of Spiritual Energy. In terms of the treatment, besides Spirit Stone¡¯s grade, perhaps only the Sea-settling Sword would enjoy this kind of luxury.


    After considering the treatment for the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai was about to return to the Little South Mountain when suddenly, he received a text message on his phone.


    It was from Meng Huang.


    [Is it convenient for you to come over now?]


    Chen Mobai read it, a little puzzled, so he asked: [Should I come to you or you come to me?]


    Meng Huang: [Either is fine.]


    Chen Mobai: [Then come over to me, I¡¯m drawing talismans in my room, it¡¯s more discreet and safe.]


    Soon after, there was a knock on the door.


    Chen Mobai got up to open the door, but before he could say anything, the fiery and charming figure had already slipped into his arms, and the long white legs in high heels had already closed the door.


    Afterward.


    Back at the Mountain Sea Academy, Chen Mobai was filled with sighs.


    If he had known things would turn out like this, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have gone to Meng Huang¡¯s house, it was a complete waste of an entire night.


    However, since it was all said and done, he could only learn his lesson and try not to make the same mistake next time.


    With this thought in mind, Chen Mobai shook his head, clearing all the distracting images in his mind that were not conducive to cultivation, and began to await the final round of the Purple Electric Sword.


    Soon, twelve peerless Sword Cultivation Geniuses arrived at the White Stone Cave Mansion, as arranged by the Mountain Sea Academy.


    ¡°Eh, why is it you guys?¡±


    Chen Mobai would never have thought that among these twelve peerless Sword Cultivation Geniuses, there were two acquaintances.


    They both came to visit him at the same time after hearing that he was here.


    ¡°I thought it was fun when I first saw it so I sent a piece of White Stone.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu said with a faint hint of pride on his face.


    He had just learned the Purple Vault Divine Thunder Sword Art, and the Purple Thunder Dharma was derived from it. It took him three days to train the Purple Vault Sword Qi and another three days to figure out the method to infuse it into the White Stone.


    He initially sent it to the Mountain Sea Academy just for the fun of it, but he didn¡¯t expect to be selected by Hao Cao as a Sword Cultivation Genius.


    This inflated Zhongli Tianyu, who was already arrogant. He even began to wonder if he had misdirected his talent for the first twenty years of his life. If he had focused on the Sword Dao from the beginning, could he have beaten Chen Mobai now!


    ¡°You, this fellow¡­¡±


    For some reason, seeing the arrogant and triumphant Zhongli Tianyu, Chen Mobai felt an itch in his fists.


    ¡°Mr. President, actually I just wanted to verify my sword cultivation level. After learning about the White Stone, I gave it a try, but I didn¡¯t expect to be chosen.¡±


    Zhai Jianbai also never thought that he would receive a personal reply and invitation from the principal of the Mountain Sea Academy for the White Stone he had casually sent at the beginning of the year.


    ¡°How many Sword Qis did you infuse?¡±


    Chen Mobai knew that compared to him, this foundation establishment cultivator in front of him was a real Sword Cultivation Genius.


    Therefore, he felt that Hao Cao¡¯s selection of Zhai Jianbai as one of the twelve was proof of his good judgment.


    ¡°Two.¡±


    Zhai Jianbai answered honestly and even took out his own white stone.


    ¡°Eh, I thought this thing could only infuse one?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu, who was standing aside, looked at the white stone in Zhai Jianbai¡¯s hand, which had two different colors of golden light, and couldn¡¯t help but look puzzled.


    ¡°It appears you were chosen because the Purple Vault Sword Qi closely aligns with the essence of the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    After explaining the principle of the White Stone, Chen Mobai did not hesitate to criticize Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°How many did you infuse?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Zhongli Tianyu seemed a little unconvinced and asked another question.


    ¡°Not that many, just five.¡±


    These casual words from Chen Mobai made Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s face fall.


    ¡°Excuse me, is senior Chen Mobai here?¡±


    At this moment, the third peerless Sword Cultivation Genius chosen by Hao Cao arrived.

 Chapter 695 - Chapter 695: Chapter 421: The Final Round _1

    Chapter 695: Chapter 421: The Final Round _1


    The young girl at the door was also someone Chen Mobai knew.


    She had snow-white skin, delicate features, almond-shaped eyes filled with vitality, and long black hair tied up with a light-colored hairband, making her look upright and pure.


    HHer light pink long-sleeved blouse could not hide her full curves, below her slim waist was a red and black checkered skirt that tightly adhered to her plump thigh curves, extending down. She wore round-toed leather shoes and her beautiful long legs were wrapped in a thin layer of black stockings, which were straight and symmetrical, the faint visibility of her flesh-tone making her look even more innocent and charming.


    ¡°You¡­ are you also participating in the final round?¡±


    Seeing the stunning Wanyu at the door, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but look surprised.


    ¡°Yes, my friend saw the advertisement for the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s selection process, and since I¡¯m practicing Lu Guang¡¯s Sword Mean at the academy, they suggested I try. I sent over a White Stone imbued with Sword Qi, not expecting it to be chosen by Master Hao Cao for the final round.¡±


    Wanyu herself was quite surprised by her good luck and initially thought there was a mix-up from the Mountain Sea Academy.


    It wasn¡¯t until it was confirmed several times, that the renowned Master Hao Cao had personally reviewed and selected her, that she excitedly boarded the train to White Stone Cave Heaven.


    When she arrived, she heard that Chen Mobai was also one of the sixteen names in the final round.


    Considering how well they chatted during holidays, they could be considered friends, so she decided to ask her teacher at Mountain Sea Academy for his address and pay him a visit.


    ¡°So it seems we are competitors.¡±


    Chen Mobai said jokingly and then invited Wanyu in. She blushed slightly but was surprised to find two unfamiliar young men inside when she came in.


    ¡°This is Zhongli Tianyu, this is Zha Jianbai, both are my schoolmates from Dance Tool Dao Academy.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    ¡°This is my good friend,Wanyu from the Starlight Institute.¡±


    As the host, Chen Mobai naturally had to introduce the three to each other. The two men, with their deep cultivation levels, had already heard the conversation at the door.


    ¡°Someone from the Qi Cultivating Realm made it to the final round?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu spoke quite directly, looking at Wanyu with a slight frown. Although those in the cultivation community did not check each other¡¯s Cultivation Levels, the huge gap between realms was still noticeable.


    His words were a tad belittling.


    Hearing this, Wanyu¡¯s complexion paled slightly, her eyes flickering with a hint of anger.


    ¡°In the final round, eight of them are Qi Practitioners.¡±


    Chen Mobai quickly announced. He had known from Pei Qingshuang that among the sixteen contestants in the final round, eight were Qi Practitioners, three were at Core Formation stage, and five were in their Foundation Establishment stage.


    The point was to proclaim that this selection was truly fair and just, that cultivators of all realms had a chance.


    After all, there were more than 200 million Qi Practitioners in the cultivation community. This data could greatly boost the morale of the public.


    ¡°Oh, really?¡±


    Taken aback by the information, Zhongli Tianyu looked at Wanyu more carefully.


    In his view, the Sword Qi of the Qi Cultivating Realm was certainly inferior to that of the Foundation Establishment stage.


    However, since Master Hao Cao had chosen eight Qi Practitioners out of thousands of White Stones, it meant that the Sword Qi of these eight practitioners had their own unique aspects, which were at least comparable to the Foundation Establishment practitioners in some areas.


    The mystery and secrets behind this intrigued Zhongli Tianyu.


    ¡°Could I see your Sword Qi?¡±


    Caught off guard by Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s straightforward request, Wanyu was somewhat at a loss.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have any White Stone on me.¡±


    Wanyu spoke the truth. Although White Stone was not precious to them, it was an extra Good Deed Points expenditure for a Qi Practitioner.


    After she had inscribed her Sword Qi, Wanyu hadn¡¯t bothered purchasing any more White Stones.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, Chen here has plenty.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu pointed to a basket in the corner. Pei Qingshuang had brought these from Hao Cao¡¯s Sword Grinding Room. Chen Mobai had used less than half to infuse five Sword Qis, and the rest had been left in the corner.


    ¡°Then¡­ I should learn a lot.¡±


    Seeing this unfold, Wanyu could only agree. Just as she was about to head to the corner and pick up a White Stone to demonstrate her Lu Guang¡¯s Sword Mean, she was stopped by Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Everyone¡¯s Sword Qi is a secret, related to the final choice of the Purple Electric Sword, you don¡¯t have to do this.¡±


    Chen Mobai knew Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s character was nothing personal, but still felt it was a bit hard on others. However, to save face for both parties, Chen offered a perfectly valid reason.


    ¡°This was my impudence.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Thinking it over, Zhongli Tianyu realized that was indeed the case and immediately apologized to Wanyu.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I knew I wasn¡¯t going to be the one chosen by the Purple Electric Sword the moment I found out senior brother Chen Mobai was participating.¡±


    Wanyu, quite clear-minded about herself, waved her hand with a light smile to suggest that her Lu Guang¡¯s Sword Mean was not anything significant after Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s apology.


    ¡°But since I haven¡¯t mastered my Sword Qi, I need to meditate for three days and three nights to infuse a complete set. So I probably won¡¯t be able to show you guys until after three days.¡±


    As she spoke, Wanyu had already picked up a piece of white stone from the basket and, with her twinkling moon-shaped eyes, she smiled and explained.

 Chapter 696 - Chapter 696: Chapter 421: The Final Round_2

    Chapter 696: Chapter 421: The Final Round_2


    ¡°It¡¯s a rare treat to meet old friends in a foreign place. I arrived here a few days earlier and found a good seafood restaurant in Shanhai Academy. Let me play host today and treat you all.¡±


    Seeing the relaxed atmosphere among the three old acquaintances, Chen Mobai also invited with a smile.


    Naturally, no one objected.


    As the Shanhai Academy is situated on a cliff by the sea, the daily fresh produce is always exceptionally delicious.


    Pei Qingshuang had once introduced Chen Mobai to the most popular restaurants here; he had hence become quite familiar with them.


    After the four of them had eaten, they prepared to go their separate ways.


    ¡°I will take advantage of the last few days to seriously practice the Purple Vault Divine Thunder Sword Art. None of you should disturb me.¡±


    Before Zhongli Tianyu left, he spoke gravely.


    To others, last-minute cramming might not be useful, but for a genius like him, a few days could be enough to further deepen his understanding of this sword technique.


    ¡°Rest assured, I assure you I won¡¯t be visiting.¡±


    Chen Mobai, who knew Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s quirky thinking, rolled his eyes and waved him away.


    ¡°As a holy land for the Sword Cultivators of the immortal gates, Shanhai Academy has a vast array of sword techniques and swordsmanship. I don¡¯t have any great expectations for the Purple Electric Sword. Instead, I could seek out a couple of peers in the training grounds to have a good discussion about the Sword Dao.¡±


    Zhai Jianbai was a very practical person, and he greatly admired Chen Mobai. He clearly understood that his swordsmanship talent was a mere fraction of that of Chen Mobai, the chief of the Daoist Academy. Since he would be participating, it was an opportunity for Zhai Jianbai to broaden his knowledge and learn from the Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators of Shanhai Academy.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    ¡°Alright then, make sure you both keep track of time and don¡¯t miss the last day of interaction with the Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    Chen Mobai also cared for these two. After all, as the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, it was his duty and responsibility to take care of them.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go back on my own then, so I don¡¯t disturb the three seniors.¡±


    Shi Wanyu, who listened to the conversation between the three, understood the hint and proposed to leave.


    ¡°I¡¯ll see you off. I still owe you a lipstick. There¡¯s a shopping street on the Giant Stone Sword of Shanhai Academy, we can go and see if there¡¯s anything suitable for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai had thought of this issue as soon as he saw Shi Wanyu.


    It seemed like he had been owing this favour for over eight years. Although they had contact during holidays and other occasions, because of various engagements, he hadn¡¯t found the time to invite her out.


    Meeting her at Shanhai Academy today seemed like a perfect opportunity to settle this long pending matter.


    On hearing this, Shi Wanyu¡¯s seemingly radiant face turned red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, pinching the hem of her dress.


    Zhongli Tianyu and Zhai Jianbai shared a glance, and were reminded of their chief¡¯s notorious reputation in the academy.


    Initially, they didn¡¯t believe it, but after witnessing it with their own eyes and hearing it with their own ears, they couldn¡¯t help but believe.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, just relax. I¡¯ll fly you there.¡±


    Knowing that Shi Wanyu has not reached Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai gently unfolded his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± and extended his hand to invite her.


    Watching the two figures fly away in the misty clouds, both Zhongli Tianyu and Zhai Jianbai shook their heads simultaneously.


    ¡°Let¡¯s pretend we did not see anything, after all, it is also our academy¡¯s face!¡±


    Zhai Jianbai said softly to Zhongli Tianyu, eliciting a dismissing look from the latter.


    ¡°Do I look like the kind of person who gossips behind someone¡¯s back? Besides, the more he is infatuated with women, the better it is for me. As long as he slows down a little, with my talent, I will catch up to him one day.¡±


    Indeed, the way Zhongli Tianyu thought was rather different from Zhai Jianbai the ¡®ordinary person¡¯.


    Chen Mobai had no idea that his casual invitation had sparked such strange conjectures in the minds of these two, taking into account the rumors about him circulating in the academy.


    ¡°How does this one look?¡±


    At a shop in the commercial street of Shanhai Academy, Shi Wanyu applied a high-shine, bright-coloured lipstick and pursed her lips. Her snow-white face turned pink. Her lips, coated with a transparent glossy lipstick, opened slightly towards Chen Mobai.


    Chen Mobai looked at the radiant young woman with her rosy cheeks and cherry lips revealing pearly teeth. He couldn¡¯t help but remember the time when they first met.


    Time seemed to have left no trace on her.


    More than eight years had passed, but she still retained her pure and charming aura, full of youthful energy. Being with her made Chen Mobai feel revived and energetic.


    ¡°Very pretty!¡±


    Chen Mobai sincerely admired. Under the glossy lipstick, Shi Wanyu¡¯s rosy lips looked enticingly bright, absolutely matching her pure disposition.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Let¡¯s take this then.¡±


    Seeing the appreciation in Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze, Shi Wanyu felt happy and a little shy. She closed the lipstick and handed it to the waiter.


    ¡°Bring two more of the same kind.¡±


    Chen Mobai ordered the waiter. On hearing this, Shi Wanyu immediately shook her head indicating one was enough, but when they left the store, she was joyfully carrying a small gift box containing three lipsticks of the same shade.


    At this moment, the setting sun graced the seaside with spectacular hues.

 Chapter 697 - Chapter 697: Chapter 421: The Final Round_3

    Chapter 697: Chapter 421: The Final Round_3


    ¡°It¡¯s truly beautiful.¡±


    Unconsciously, the two had walked to the edge of the stone sword spanning a hundred feet. Looking out at the vivid scene of the sea merging with the sky and the fiery sun partially concealed by the vast, misty waves in the distance, they couldn¡¯t help expressing their awe.


    ¡°May I take a photo with you?¡±


    Master Wanyu hesitated for a moment but eventually mustered up the courage to make this request to Chen Mobai as the evening glow was about to recede completely. Without hesitation, he nodded.


    ¡°It is my honor.¡±


    After hearing his response, Master Wanyu happily took out her cellphone. Using the Object Capturing Technique, she set the perfect angle and, with Chen Mobai, stood against the stunning backdrop of the evening glow while pressing the capture button.


    ¡°Thank you. This has been the happiest day of my life.¡±


    Looking at the image of the man and woman standing side by side on the screen, a blush still lingered on Master Wanyu¡¯s face as she shared her feelings with Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I¡¯m also very happy. Let¡¯s strive and cheer for each other during the final round.¡±


    Chen Mobai responded with kind words and glances at the time. Seeing that it was getting late, he then rode together with the gleeful young girl into the setting sun, escorting her back to the lodging arranged by the Mountain Sea Academy.


    For Chen Mobai, this might have been their last encounter if Master Wanyu did not succeed in Foundation Establishment.


    Among the students of the 120 school districts, only those who could establish their foundations held positions equivalent to the school¡¯s top performers.


    If Chen Mobai remembered correctly, Master Wanyu was of the same year as him, and with just a year and a half left, her hopes of Foundation Establishment were extremely slim.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Returning her three lipsticks today was a fitting end to their interactions.


    After doing this, Chen Mobai felt a sense of spiritual elevation. A Green Paulownia Seedling within his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion sprouted and merged into the central beryl wutong tree, resulting in a slight increase in his Divine Sense.


    Is this karma?


    Chen Mobai inexplicably recollected his initial encounter with the successor of The Divine Machine Mansion. She also seemed to establish bonds through karma. He wondered how much she would advance when their causal ties reach their conclusion?


    Time flew, and it was soon the final round of the Purple Electric Sword choosing its master, as announced by the Mountain Sea Academy.


    Chen Mobai was chosen to interact with the Purple Electric Sword on the penultimate fourth day, the final part of the selection process.


    The ones before him were the twelve unparalleled Sword Dao geniuses, selected by Hao Cao, to cover up the reincarnation of the Holy Light Elder.


    Master Wanyu, who was weaker in cultivation, was arranged to be the third one. Before she entered the Sword Tower, she gifted Chen Mobai a Sword Bag. It was a craft item that she had bought when she was buying lipsticks at the business street.


    Compared to before, the palm-sized Sword Bag now had a circle of embroidery on it. The embroidered pattern was a sketch of their shared sunset photo.


    Inside the Sword Bag was a white stone infused with Master Wanyu¡¯s Streamer Sword Qi, which she said was a gift to celebrate Chen Mobai obtaining the Purple Electric Sword in advance.


    Chen Mobai thanked her and didn¡¯t refuse, politely accepting the Sword Bag.

    After their final interaction with the Purple Electric Sword, the sixteen Cultivators had to stay in their respective rooms, awaiting the finalist¡¯s walkout from the Sword Tower, which would announce the ultimate result.


    Soon, Zhongli Tianyu and Zhai Jianbai exited the Sword Tower, and it was Chen Mobai¡¯s turn.


    Since he had been there before, Hao Cao didn¡¯t accompany him this time, but merely taught him the mantra to open and close the Sword Box.


    At the entrance of the Sword Tower, Chen Mobai saw Pei Qingshuang who was waiting there. She didn¡¯t say much but just gave him a thumbs-up.


    Chen Mobai nodded and stepped in.

 Chapter 698 - Chapter 698: Chapter 422: Purple Electric Sword Recognizing its Owner_1

    Chapter 698: Chapter 422: Purple Electric Sword Recognizing its Owner_1


    Chen Mobai went straight to the fourth floor and opened the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s Sword Box.


    The luminous sword caught his eye, and compared to last time, the high-quality Spirit Stone beside it appeared slightly dimmer.


    The Purple Electric Sword had always been sealed, preserved at its lowest level of spiritual energy to prevent degradation.


    However, after the last round of the selection process began, Hao Cao unsealed the sword. Consequently, the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s demand for spiritual energy had greatly increased.


    The Spirit Stone was naturally spent more quickly and was almost exhausted.


    Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai, as taught by Hao Cao, meditated, connecting his mind and heart with the Rank-4 sword.


    A beam of light burst from the hilt of the Purple Electric Sword, connecting with Chen Mobai¡¯s divine sense.


    In an instant, purple light flickered.


    When Chen Mobai came back to his senses, he found himself in a mysterious space.


    Here, in a boundless expanse of nothingness, deep purple lightning pulsed. The Purple Electric Sword was diagonal in front of Chen Mobai. A purple-red radiance illuminated from the blade, forming a ball of light the size of a human head.


    The light ball manifested facial features, and then was shaped into a small round face. Its features were blurred, but those pair of clear azure eyes were sharp and cold, like a sword.


    In the Immortal Path, Rank-5 magic artifacts possess a complete spirit, almost indistinguishable from a human.


    As a Rank-4 sword, The Purple Electric Sword had evolved a spirit, but only had the simplest thinking. Even so, because it retained most of its previous owner¡¯s memories, basic thought processes were still intact.


    wuxiaworld.site


    ¡°I pay respect to Elder Purple Electric Sword,¡± Chen Mobai bowed formally, treating it as an elder cultivator from the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    [Reach out your hand and grasp the hilt.]


    The pair of azure eyes met Chen Mobai¡¯s gaze, transmitting this message through an invisible ripple.


    Chen Mobai nodded, relaxed his mind, and reached out to grip the hilt of the Purple Electric Sword in this space.


    Immediately, a numb sensation spread throughout his body. His own body seemed to shatter under the effect of the wildly raging power of thunder and lightning. However, mere moments after destruction, a surge of vigorous life force reassembled his shattered body.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s consciousness had lapsed into unconsciousness from the intense pain at this moment.


    Seeing this, the Purple Electric Sword shook its head slightly.


    After who knows how many cycles of destruction and resurrection, Chen Mobai woke from the eternal darkness.


    Opening his eyes, he found himself sitting soundly on the fourth floor of the Sword Tower, while the Purple Electric Sword returned to its sheath, seemingly fallen back into slumber.


    Chen Mobai raised his hand, noticing that he wasn¡¯t torn apart by the power of thunder and lightning; it was likely a mysterious Sword Technique that directly affected his divine sense.


    But what about the outcome?


    Chen Mobai had not forgotten that his visit was to wield the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°Elder? Elder Purple Electric Sword?¡±


    He called out twice to the sword kept in the sword box and even quoted the mantra taught by Hao Cao again. Yet, no response came.


    Is it over?


    [If the Purple Electric Sword does not respond anymore, it means that the synchronization has ended, and you can come out.]


    Chen Mobai remembered Hao Cao¡¯s words before he came in.


    He took out his phone to check the time and found that only half an hour had passed during the sword-holding synchronization.


    Everyone gets a day¡¯s time, and he felt there¡¯s still more he could do.


    Moreover, if he left so quickly, wouldn¡¯t people laugh at him?


    He reached out to grasp the Purple Electric Sword in the sword box, intending to draw it out. Suddenly, a potent purple light burst out from the hilt, pushing his right hand away.


    If the Purple Electric Sword did not intend to harm him, he feared that his palm would have turned into charred ashes from the blow.


    Chen Mobai hesitantly played his ace ¨C took out the gigantic raw Spirit Stone from his storage bag and presented it with both hands in front of the sword box.


    The Purple Electric Sword, which was as steady as a mountain, gave a slight shake.


    Chen Mobai reached out towards the sword box again. The potent purple light emerged again, but this time it didn¡¯t immediately push him away.


    Instead, it resisted, merely preventing his hand from touching itself.


    ¡°My name is Chen Mobai, the chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, with substantial family wealth.¡±


    ¡°Let this raw Spirit Stone be a token of my respect for Elder Purple Electric Sword.¡±


    ¡°If you are willing to serve me, I promise to offer such a high-quality Spirit Stone every year. The supply for this year, symbolic gestures for important days, could be sent in advance.¡±


    As Chen Mobai spoke, he took out five more high-quality Spirit Stones from his storage bag.


    Then he picked one of the high-quality stones with his left hand and presented it.

    The flickering purple light in front of the high-quality Spirit Stone began to recede inch by inch. It eventually stopped at the hilt, lingering for three breaths before completely opening.


    Chen Mobai placed the high-quality Spirit Stone on the other side of the Purple Electric Sword.


    The comparison between this untapped, gleaming, and fully-energized Spirit Stone and the other Spirit Stone provided by the Daoist Academy, which had been consumed and charged countless times, was like fresh flowers blooming after a rain shower versus scattered and withered flowers.


    When Chen Mobai placed this Spirit Stone inside the sword box, the last lingering light around the hilt of the Purple Electric Sword completely vanished.


    Seeing this, Chen Mobai reached out his right hand and gently grasped the hilt of the Purple Electric Sword.

    Chapter 699: Chapter 422: The Purple Electric Sword Recognizes its Master_2


    Upon grabbing it, the Purple Electric Sword squirmed gently, as if struggling, but in the end it ceased resisting. It allowed Chen Mobai to hold it in his hands and lift it up.


    The Purple Electric Sword was embedded into a huge piece of Spirit Stone ore.


    An abundance of Spiritual Energy it had not experienced since it was forged caused the Purple Electric Sword to let out a clear chirping sound.


    [Is this for me?]


    The soundless chirp relayed a message to Chen Mobai, who gently nodded, signifying that the Purple Electric Sword was free to absorb the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stone ore.


    [Too much, too full, too satisfying¡­]


    Unknown amount of time later, the Purple Electric Sword chirped again, delivering another message to Chen Mobai asking to be pulled out.


    After the sword returned to the Sword Box, Chen Mobai felt that nearly half of the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stone ore had dimmed.


    Within a mere half hour, the Purple Electric Sword absorbed nearly the power of one-and-a-half high-grade Spirit Stones of immense Spiritual Energy¨Cmaking the long-famished sword feel the word ¡°satiety¡± for the first time.


    ¡°Senior Purple Electric Sword, if you are willing to join me, there¡¯s no need to exert yourself on a regular basis. You only need to help me when my life is in danger.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Stone remuneration remains the same as previously discussed: one high-grade Spirit Stone annually. If Senior has to make a move to save my life, there will also be an additional reward of several high-grade Spirit Stones.¡±


    ¡°I wonder if this is agreeable to Senior?¡±


    Having just gorged itself, the Purple Electric Sword was no longer haughty. On hearing this, it immediately responded.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    [Your offer is certainly the best among all, but I am a Rank-4 after all, and you are just in Foundation Establishment stage. If your Core Formation fails, wouldn¡¯t it be a waste of my 200 years?]


    This time the Purple Electric Sword, once selects a master, it is certainly aiming to go further up, or at the very least, not wanting to regress.


    Being committed to a Gold Core cultivator, at least there¡¯s hope for that.


    But with Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Realm is a bit too low for it and would not be able to bring out even its minimum power.


    ¡°Though I¡¯m presently only at Foundation Establishment stage, I am rather confident about my own Core Formation. Senior, you must know my sect¡¯s limitation in procuring Gold Core Spiritual Material; how about we make a sixty-year contract?¡±


    ¡°If I don¡¯t reach Core Formation within sixty years, I will unconditionally terminate the contract with you. Whatever high-grade Spirit Stones supplied to you during this period will be considered as compensation for your lost time.¡±


    ¡°Senior, there aren¡¯t many people in the sect with a family background like mine. If you miss this opportunity, you won¡¯t get another one.¡±


    Chen Mobai paused when he finished speaking, and the Purple Electric Sword fell silent.


    [You can get it in writing. We can first agree on a letter of intent, and after I have interviewed the remaining few candidates, I will then make a final decision.]


    A considerable time later, this fluctuation came from the Purple Electric Sword, making Chen Mobai instantly happy.


    He immediately drafted all the terms previously mentioned, including a confidentiality clause, ensuring that just the two of them, Chen Mobai and the Purple Electric Sword, knew about that conversation, and it must not be revealed to a third party.


    After both parties had made their pact, Chen Mobai retrieved the Spirit Stone ore and the high-grade Spirit Stone he had inserted into Sword Box back into his storage bag.


    Sighting of this by the three Gold Core cultivators who would be coming later might easily reveal the problem.


    The Purple Electric Sword appeared somewhat reluctant to part, but it knew that it had not officially chosen Chen Mobai as its master yet, and the favourable terms spoken just now were not yet at the stage of being honored.


    But having absorbed half of the Spirit Stone ore¡¯s abundant Spiritual Energy, it was satisfactorily satiated. So it let Chen Mobai take the stone back.


    After all, if he is chosen as its master, these will all be its future belongings.


    ¡°Senior, may I ask about the situation of the previous twelve candidates?¡±


    Seeing that there was still plenty of time left in the day, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t immediately leave the Sword Tower but sat down and chatted about everyday life with the Purple Electric Sword.


    [There was one with Thunder Spiritual Root who is very suitable for me. If I could merge with him, I should be able to reach the realm of my former master. However, he already has a more powerful magic artifact than me and is unwilling to give it up, so negotiations fell through.]


    He must be referring to Zhongli Tianyu, who has the Bagua Mirror. Even though it¡¯s currently incomplete, it was left by Zhongli ancestors, ranking innately above the Purple Electric Sword.


    [There was also a young man with a natural Sword Heart like my former master, but unfortunately, his cultivation level was too low¡­]


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai wondered if he might be referring to Zha Jianbai.


    This actual Sword Cultivation Genius who heard of the Dao in Foundation Establishment was well-regarded by Zuo Gong and even considered potentially surpassing him.


    [Then there was another one who felt a bit strange. It felt like he could control me, but after testing him, I felt he was unworthy, but I wonder where you all found him, hidden so well.]


    Who was he talking about?


    Chen Mobai was confused, but at this point, the Purple Electric Sword had moved on to discussing the fourth, the fifth¡­


    All of the exceptional Sword Cultivation Geniuses chosen by Hao Cao, although a bit overrated, were undeniably cultivators with accomplishments in the Sword Dao. Some of them made the Purple Electric Sword can¡¯t help but praise.


    If provided with the correct training, they might become masters of Sword Dao in the future.


    During the chat, one day quickly passed.


    Chen Mobai walked out of the Sword Tower.


    ¡°Go back and wait for the news. Do not leave the doorstep, after the Purple Electric Sword makes its choice, I will come to notify you.¡±


    Hao Cao reminded Chen Mobai when he saw him.


    Pei Qingshuang was there too, but she didn¡¯t approach. After exchanging a glance, they both nodded at each other, acknowledging each other¡¯s presence.


    Yan Qiongzhi was also there, as she would be the next one to enter the Sword Tower.


    After exchanging greetings with her, Chen Mobai left.


    Once Yan Qiongzhi entered the Sword Tower, Chen Mobai also returned to his own place.


    He sat quietly with his eyes closed for three days and three nights.


    ¡°It¡¯s time.¡±


    With the sound of an alarm, Chen Mobai opened his eyes, and turned off the alarm on his phone.


    He exhaled deeply, looking out of the window.


    It was still quiet out there.


    Though he had pleasant conversations with the Purple Electric Sword, he can¡¯t be completely at ease without having it by his side.


    He had no idea how long it would take for the Purple Electric Sword to make its decision.


    Just as Chen Mobai was pondering, a loud and reverberating sword sound surged from the direction of the Sword Tower. It was like an invisible wave of sword energy that spread to every corner of the Academy.


    Almost everyone heard it and looked out of their windows.


    ¡°I hope I didn¡¯t make a mistake.¡±


    On the fourth floor of the Sword Tower, Hao Cao murmured to himself as he removed all the seals and prohibitions imposed on the Purple Electric Sword by the academy.


    A purple rainbow shot up into the sky and then flew towards the west direction of the Thousand-foot Stone Sword.


    Standing by the window and looking towards the Sword Tower, Chen Mobai frowned. Why wasn¡¯t the Purple Electric Sword flying his way?


    Could it be another idealistic sword giving up mundane spirit stones?


    Despite his reluctance, Chen Mobai kept watching the direction where the Purple Electric Sword disappeared, hoping for a miracle to see the sword returning.


    However, after an amount of time sufficient to drink a cup of tea had passed, the sword sound had completely disappeared into the western skyline.


    In the end, did it pick someone with a greater realm?


    Chen Mobai thought that the Purple Electric Sword had chosen a Gold Core expert.


    ¡°Sigh!¡±


    Just as he was feeling disappointed, the purple rainbow suddenly lit up again in the western sky and started swirling in mid-air as if it was looking for a direction.


    In the end, it set its course towards Chen Mobai, transforming into a beam of purple lightning and dashed towards him.


    Bang!


    A hole was pierced through the window glass of Chen Mobai¡¯s room. A majestic and authoritative long sword flew in, casting purple light all around, and landed in front of him.


    [Sorry, I went the wrong way before.]


    The Purple Electric Sword sent out a wave of pulsation, which left Chen Mobai both crying and laughing. He almost thought this was another lofty idealistic sword.


    ¡°Please guide me for the next sixty years!¡±


    Chen Mobai saluted the Purple Electric Sword, then stretched out his hands and held the sparkling purple long sword.


    Boom!


    A thunder like sound resonating like a clear day thunderbolt reverberated over the Thirteen Stone Swords of the Academy at this moment.

    Ruan Zixiu was a middle-aged cultivator with a worried expression. He saw the scene outside the window and sighed.


    Next to him, Huo Xiqing¡¯s brows furrowed tightly. He looked annoyed. However, by this point, no matter how resentful he was, he had to accept the fact that the Purple Electric Sword did not choose him.


    On the other side of the Stone Sword, Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s eyes flickered. The place where the Purple Electric Sword landed, she knew, was where Chen Mobai was.


    He actually overshadowed the three of them, all Gold Core experts.


    Indeed, he had the qualification of Deification.

 Chapter 700 - Chapter 700: Chapter 423 Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book_1

    Chapter 700: Chapter 423 Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book_1


    ¡°The Purple Lightning Sword has found its master; you all may carry on with your duties.¡±


    Not long after the Purple Lightning Sword chose Chen Mobai, the message from Hao Cao had already entered the ears of every last contestant in the round.


    The information on this side of the celestial gate is transparent.


    Moreover, the fact that the Purple Lightning Sword finally descended massively into Chen Mobai¡¯s courtyard was witnessed by most of the people here on the Stone Sword.


    So, in no time, news that the Chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, the number one in Foundation Establishment, known as ¡°Battle Law Victory¡±, Chen Mobai, had been recognized by Purple Lightning, spread throughout the entire Shanhai Study Palace.


    In this era of advanced networks, the news of the Purple Lightning Sword choosing its master had already been widely publicized for over half a year, and many media journalists were following it.


    Therefore, in less than half a day, detailed introductions about Chen Mobai had already appeared on the front pages of various forums.


    [A young talent who does not like the tedious courses in school, thus only maintaining average grades deliberately before the university entrance exams.]


    [Half a year before the university entrance exams, he started to put effort into studying and cultivating, eventually topping the local high school at Red Sandstone City.]


    [At the time of the entrance exams, even though he had been lax for more than a dozen years and his cultivation level was only at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, no one could stop him from winning the magic duel. Those at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, those with different spiritual roots, even the gradeless Heaven Heart Sword Talisman, all lost to him. The man in the red robe saw him and could not help but praise him, saying he could be called ¡°Battle Law Victory¡±.]


    [After entering the Dance Tool Dao Academy, his remarkable talent became unstoppable. He easily rose to the top of symbols and puppetry, and agricultural studies among his peers. After three years, he was the first among his peers to establish his foundation.]


    [Three years later, he defeated the former chief of Dance Tool Dao Academy, Zuo Qiushi, who wholeheartedly admitted defeat. Urging this uniquely talented person to take the position of chief, he upheld expectations by defeating all the cultivators of the Daoist Academy within the Little Red Sky, restoring the glory of Dance Tool Dao Academy.]


    [In another year, under the Big Tree of Jumang Dao Academy, he defeated all the swordsmen, all the cultivators in Foundation Establishment bowed their heads to him, being recognized as qualified for divinity transformation.]


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.Co


    [This year, he surpassed three Gold Core real people with his supreme talent and won the recognition of the Purple Lightning Sword.]


    [This person is truly the most talented individual in Celestial Gate after Bai Guang.]


    After reading this widely circulated ¡°Biography of Battle Law Victory¡±, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel ashamed.


    Although everything was true, he clearly knew himself and understood that his current position had nothing to do with talent.


    It was all thanks to resources.


    His cultivation level, realm, artifacts, accomplishments, all were accumulated by the power of two realms. Any of his peers at Dance Tool Dao Academy would probably be in Core Formation by now.


    Although he understood it, for several days in a row seeing the Celestial Gate public praise him, Chen Mobai felt a little smug.


    Just as he couldn¡¯t help wanting to switch to another forum to see how they are praising him, someone came over.


    It was Pei Qingshaung and Yan Qiongzhi, the latter of whom came to say goodbye.


    Of the three Gold Core real people, Huo Xiqing, without uttering a word after learning the result, immediately turned into an escaping light and left Shanhai Study Palace.


    Ruan Zixiu, being a person of Shanhai Study Palace, showed a little regard for Hao Cao and visited Chen Mobai before leaving, having a brief conversation with each other.


    Ruan Zixiu also added Chen Mobai as a friend very graciously.


    Chen Mobai was happy to add another Gold Core person to his contact lists in his phone.


    However, he later realized that Ruan Zixiu had something to ask the Dance Tool Dao Academy, as they needed help in refining his flying sword, hence the courtesy towards him.


    ¡°The matter of the Purple Lightning Sword is settled. Although it couldn¡¯t be brought to our Nature Studies Academy, it being in your Dance Tool Dao Academy hands is the second-best result,¡±


    That was Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s sentiment. Even though Chen Mobai had the lowest cultivation level among the four of them, he had the greatest background.


    Moreover, considering his outstanding record over the years, he¡¯s seen as the second to Lan Haitian, and it was almost a certainty that he would reach the Core Formation stage in the future. Thus, he¡¯s already being treated as a Gold Core real person.


    ¡°Yan is too kind. I was just fortunate to be recognized by the Purple Lightning Sword.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very humble, especially since the process of him obtaining the Purple Lightning Sword was somewhat underground.


    Only he in the entire Celestial Gate could afford the high salary of one high-grade spirit stone per year.


    Under the title of ¡°qualified for divinity transformation¡±, lies the reality of using spirit stones to buy the sword.


    So, when facing a proper Gold Core real person, he felt somewhat uneasy.

    ¡°When you have time, you can visit the Nature Studies Academy. We have handwritten copies of the ¡°Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book¡± and the sword scars left by the Qing Shi and Qing Jing Masters. Using your unmatched swordsmanship talent, you could comprehend more than Cui.¡±


    Before leaving, Yan Qiongzhi invited Chen Mobai, to which the latter politely nodded, indicating that he would visit when he had the chance.


    If he can purchase the Water Mist Ice Crystal in the Eastern Wilderness, it would be a good chance to deliver it to Yan Bingxuan as well.


    ¡°What¡¯s the ¡°Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book¡±?¡±


    After watching Yan Qiongzhi leave on an ice flower, Chen Mobai asked the Pei Qingshuang who was standing next to him. He assumed it should be related to the Purple Lightning and Qing Shuang sword, but it¡¯s better to ask the person who knows clearly.

 Chapter 701 - Chapter 701: Chapter 423 Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book_2

    Chapter 701: Chapter 423 Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book_2


    ¡°This is a heavenly book from beyond our Realm, deciphered by two senior cultivators. They used this to break through to the Nascent Soul stage together.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes brightened. Still, he was confused, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say Master Qing Jing cultivated the Qingxiao Sword Canon?¡±


    ¡°Both Master Qing Shi and Master Qing Jing had their own fundamental cultivation techniques, but their breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm without the use of Baby-forming Spiritual Things was made possible by the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book. They spent a hundred years deciphering it together at the Heavenly Book Academy, gaining insight into the cultivation method of ¡®Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi,¡¯ greatly increasing the chances of forming Nascent Souls.¡±


    ¡°Can we cultivate it?¡±


    Having heard so much, Chen Mobai was no fool. He immediately followed up on her words by asking further.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. Before the two senior cultivators passed away, they gave the contents of the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book they deciphered to the Immortal Sect. But up to now, no one has been able to cultivate it successfully. Some people speculate that the two swords, Purple Lightning Qingshuang and Qing Shuang Sword, may hold the key. Or, one needs to cooperate with a Gold Core cultivator who cultivates the Purple Thunder Dharma and the Qingxiao Sword Canon to step through the door.¡±


    After hearing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s face displayed hesitation, eventually shaking his head.


    ¡°My talent is more suitable for the Pure Yang Scroll, I absolutely won¡¯t switch to cultivating the Purple Thunder Dharma.¡±


    Despite his considerable desire to reach the Nascent Soul stage, Chen Mobai clearly understood his own strengths.


    After the Pure Yang Scroll was revised by the Elder Yuan Yang, one only needed enough Spirit Stones and time to grow an Immortal Spirit Root. Without the Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi, he could find a way to obtain Baby-forming Spiritual Things from the resources of the Tianhe Realm. There was even a slight hope for the Divinity Transformation stage.


    If he switched to cultivating the Purple Thunder Dharma just for the Nascent Soul stage and followed Master Qing Shi¡¯s path, that would be abandoning the essentials for the trivial.


    ¡°You, do you know how many people want to cultivate the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book with me?¡±


    Upon hearing Cheng Mobai¡¯s words, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s normally cold face turned a bit furious.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.CO


    As a practitioner of the Qingxiao Sword Canon, wielding the Qing Shuang Sword, and being the daughter of Tao Hua, countless people from the Five Thunder School who practice the Purple Thunder Dharma wanted to study the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book with her.


    ¡°Just a mere Nascent Soul realm stage, you¡¯re not going to rely on me to achieve it, are you?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s casual remark stunned Pei Qingshuang.


    Pei Qingshuang indeed didn¡¯t have confidence in achieving the Nascent Soul realm. If anyone else had made that comment, she would¡¯ve slapped them with her sword this instant.


    Who are you trying to fool!


    But the one in front of her was Chen Mobai, a recognized talent for Divinity Transformation.


    For him, the Nascent Soul Realm seemed genuinely unchallenging.


    ¡°I¡­ I just want to increase the success rate, to ensure foolproofness.¡±


    In the end, Pei Qingshuang was the one whose spirit faltered first, responding a little sheepishly.


    ¡°All right, since I obtained the Purple Electric Sword this time, and you helped me a lot, if I get stuck at the Nascent Soul stage in the future, I¡¯m willing to help you once.¡±


    Chen Mobai was actually quite interested in the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book. However, his immediate priority was to attain perfection in the Pure Yang Scroll¡¯s Foundation Establishment and then form the Core. He didn¡¯t even know when he would reach the Nascent Soul stage.


    So, he merely made a mental note for the time being and decided to ponder over it after he formed his own Core.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang said a bit sheepishly, but she felt a little strange inside.


    Previously, many people begged her to cultivate the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book with her, and she ignored them all. But now, the casually offered help from Chen Mobai made her feel genuinely grateful from the bottom of her heart.


    Perhaps it was because she had already accepted in her heart that the handsome young man in front of her, who had shown incredible potential for Divinity Transformation over the years, would surely be successful in reaching the Nascent Soul stage.


    Thanking a future Senior Nascent Soul cultivator didn¡¯t feel like a disgrace.


    ¡°Is the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book a dual cultivation method?¡±


    Just as Pei Qingshuang was convincing herself, Chen Mobai suddenly asked a question that left her blushing.


    ¡°This¡­ I don¡¯t know. The contents of the Heavenly Book deciphered by the two senior cultivators didn¡¯t involve this aspect. But those two were Dao companions, so maybe¡­¡±


    By the time she reached that point, Pei Qingshuang couldn¡¯t say another word. After all, she was still a female cultivator, and this topic was a bit awkward.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get this straight, I can help you comprehend the Heavenly Book, but no dual cultivation.¡±


    Meng Huang had become a burden for Chen Mobai once before, and fearing that Pei Qingshuang might also turn out to be a stumbling block that needs long-term guidance, he didn¡¯t mind offending anyone and made his attitude clear upfront.


    ¡°Hmph! Do you think I¡¯m the kind of person who would sacrifice everything for cultivation? I originally wanted to set a few stipulations with you too!¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s ruthless words, Pei Qingshuang felt aggravated. Her usually proud and confident self had never been subjected to such humiliation, making her feel as if she were being treated lightly.


    So, she refused to back down verbally.


    ¡°That¡¯s better, so our relationship can remain pure. It¡¯s an honor for me to be your acquaintance.¡±


    Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s words. He realized his previous speech had been a bit excessive, so he immediately softened his tone and gave her a slight consolation.


    After hearing this, as expected, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s originally tense face softened a bit.


    Giving her a way out, she then stopped making a fuss. She didn¡¯t want to ruin her potential relationship with the talented cultivator standing in front of her who was suitable for Divinity Transformation.


    Even as a second-generation cultivator, her confidence in herself only went as far as Core Formation.


    If she hadn¡¯t cultivated the Nine Heavens Qi of Purple Splendor, her hope of achieving Nascent Soul Formation would likely be less than ten percent.


    Considering his exceptional talent, he would definitely be able to help her comprehend the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book.


    While holding this thought, a faint smile even made its way onto the beautiful face of Pei Qingshuang as she proposed a suggestion.


    ¡°Purple Lightning Qingshuang hasn¡¯t seen each other for over a hundred years, why not let them catch up.¡±


    Chen Mobai found this to be a reasonable suggestion. As he didn¡¯t want to reveal his storage bag, he used the Red Misty Cloud Silk to form an invisible scabbard for the Purple Electric Sword, and like Pei Qingshuang, hung it at his waist.


    The two of them controlled their swords with a flick of their fingers. A purple and a blue brilliant light burst forth, like two electric arcs flashing in the sky.


    Upon leaving their sheaths, the Purple Lightning and Qingshuang couldn¡¯t wait to chase each other, flying in the wide sky. From a distance, it looked like two dazzling purple and blue fireworks.


    ¡°How do you usually maintain the Qingshuang Sword?¡±


    Chen Mobai was quite interested in how Pei Qingshuang, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, received the acknowledgment of the Qingshuang Sword. He felt that with her background as a rich cultivator¡¯s child, Tao Hua should have provided her with plenty of high-grade spirit stones.


    ¡°One intermediate grade Spirit Stone every month plus three at the end of the year. If the Qingshuang Sword is to be used, it needs an additional amount based on the energy expended. It took five more spirit stones when I fought against you last time, which my mother scolded me for. She said I clearly couldn¡¯t win and yet wasted so much¡­¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai unwittingly slapped his thigh, with a trace of pain flashing across his eyes.


    He hadn¡¯t bothered to first understand the market prices when he made an offer. The treatment he offered was too high.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Upon noticing his movement, Pei Qingshuang asked in surprise.


    ¡°Well, just thinking about the fact that maintaining the Purple Electric Sword in the future will cost so much makes me a little short of breath.¡±


    ¡°The Purple Electric Sword took the initiative to recognize you as its master, shouldn¡¯t it not need Spirit Stones?¡±


    Pei Qingshuang asked another question. Even without Spirit Stones, the Purple Electric Sword could maintain its grade for several decades.


    In her opinion, this sword must have seen the extraordinary talent of Chen Mobai. It should be the sword that initially cultivates Chen Mobai in order to understand a deeper level of the Sword Dao realm, only then the inauguration would be beneficial for his future.


    ¡°Sigh, I just don¡¯t like owing others in my life. The Purple Electric Sword chose me because it values me. How could I let it suffer? Even if I can¡¯t provide it with Spirit Stones every month like you do, at the very least, I must ensure a minimal supply of spiritual energy.¡±


    When Chen Mobai said this, he was serious and righteous.


    After hearing him, Pei Qingshuang was filled with admiration.


    She felt that the Purple Electric Sword had chosen the right master.

    After a ¡°buzzing¡± sound,


    After playing for a sufficient amount of time, the two Rank-4 swords flew back simultaneously, landing in their respective scabbards.


    [Can I tell Little Qing about your offer? If it knows, it will definitely want to come join you.]


    After the Purple Electric Sword returned to its scabbard, this sudden message came to Chen Mobai who immediately changed his complexion, hurriedly instructing it through his divine sense that it must never do so.


    If the Qingshuang Sword was attracted over, Tao Hua would probably blow his top!

 Chapter 702 - Chapter 702: Chapter 424: Secret_1

    Chapter 702: Chapter 424: Secret_1


    ¡°Then let¡¯s settle it like that.¡±


    Chen Mobai and Pei Qingshuang made a pact, thus establishing an intended contract.


    However, it wasn¡¯t compulsory. If Pei Qingshuang realized it on her own in the future, Chen Mobai wouldn¡¯t need to help.


    Furthermore, this matter would at least need to wait until both of them reached Core Formation, even Perfect Core Formation, they didn¡¯t know when that would be.


    ¡°I¡¯ll see you off tomorrow, and don¡¯t forget to say goodbye to teacher Hao Cao.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang reminded Chen Mobai and then turned around and left.


    Since he was going back, he had to inform Meng Huang about his departure. Chen Mobai had always been worried about her Foundation Establishment, as he had been worried about it for a good half-year.


    Chen Mobai: [I¡¯m returning to Crimson City Cave tomorrow. How¡¯s your preparation for Foundation Establishment?]


    Meng Huang: [Thanks to you, I already managed to buy Spirit Ascension Powder and Solidifying Qi Liquid. After a bit of preparation when I return, I can attempt for Foundation Establishment.]


    Turtle Treasure¡¯s agency ability was quite good. Chen Mobai had used the excuse of getting help from a Gold Core cultivator to find out the time of the sale of the three Foundation Establishment treasures on the Cultivator¡¯s Web in advance.


    As a superstar, Meng Huang wasn¡¯t lacking Good Deed Points. After knowing the exact time, she had been vigilantly waiting, and naturally, she easily bought the Spirit Ascension Powder and Solidifying Qi Liquid she needed.


    Seeing this reply, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but be relieved.


    Now he could only hope that with the Critical Method as a backing, she could successfully establish her foundation immediately after returning.

    Meng Huang: [I¡¯ll go book a return train ticket.]


    Chen Mobai: [Why would you book a train ticket?]


    Meng Huang: [?]


    Chen Mobai: [Before, that was for helping you cultivate. Now you have succeeded, so there¡¯s no need to do such a thing. Moreover, it¡¯s exhausting. You¡¯re about to prepare for Foundation Establishment, so you need to take good care of your body and try to be in the best condition.]


    Meng Huang in the hotel room blushed and became angry upon hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words.


    But she also felt that Chen Mobai made sense. She sensed that he was genuinely considering for her and not just lusting after her body.


    She took a few deep breaths, nodded her head in the most gentle manner, and acknowledged that she had learned from him.


    Chen Mobai: [You go book two return plane tickets. We don¡¯t need to be on the same flight, in case someone click photos and taint your reputation.]


    Meng Huang: [Okay, I¡¯ll do that right away.]


    Chen Mobai ended the call, but something seemed off.


    Should I let Zhongli Tianyu and Zha Jianbai know? After all, they were students from the same Daoist Academy, and it would be better if everyone returned together.


    So he made another call to Meng Huang, telling her to book only her ticket.


    Chen Mobai: [I might return with Zhongli Tianyu. Your Foundation Establishment is more important, and you still have a lot to prepare in the initial phase. It¡¯s fine if you return first.]


    Although Meng Huang was disappointed, she knew her priorities. It was more important for her to successfully establish her foundation before graduation.


    Sword Grinding Hall.


    Teacher Hao Cao gave Chen Mobai, who was bidding his goodbye, a peculiar look as if he was seeing him in a new light.


    Honestly, he never thought that the final winner would be Chen Mobai, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    Thinking about his arrangement, Hao Cao could only sigh that his plan was inferior to fate¡¯s.


    ¡°Practice well, I hope to see you committed to the Sword Dao in the future.¡±


    In the end, Hao Cao said these words, waved his hand indicating farewell.


    Chen Mobai bowed in acknowledgment, stood up holding the Purple Electric Sword, and left the Sword Grinding Hall.


    When Zhongli Tianyu and Zha Jianbai arrived, the latter shook his head.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be going back yet. There are many outstanding Sword Cultivators here. I¡¯ve already applied for an internship with Director Zuo and might stay here for half a year.¡±


    Zha Jianbai thought that he certainly couldn¡¯t match Chen Mobai¡¯s exceptional talents, and he had decided to focus on exchanging with other Sword Cultivators at Mountain Sea Academy. He has gained much valuable knowledge and has sensed the opportunity to accomplish his Sword Light.


    So he wasn¡¯t planning to return now and wanted to pursue further studies at Mountain Sea Academy.


    ¡°Alright, take care of yourself.¡±


    As the chief of the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai was quite concerned about Zha Jianbai staying at Mountain Sea Academy. When Pei Qingshuang came to see them off in her car, he mentioned this matter and asked her to take care of him.


    ¡°I¡¯ll let Linghu Xian know.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang, who was too lazy to handle such trivial matters, called the current chief of Mountain Sea Academy.


    ¡°Thanks.¡±


    After Chen Mobai reached an agreement with Pei Qingshuang, he felt their relationship was more like friends¡¯, making their conversation more casual.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll drop you at White Stone Cave.¡±


    Pei Qingshuang nodded and started her car.


    Cultivators can¡¯t fly inside a cave but are allowed to drive registered vehicles. Chen Mobai was picked up by her when he arrived.

    ¡°You don¡¯t mind taking one more person, do you?¡±


    Just as Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu got in the car and had barely left a bus stop, he saw Shi Wanyu carrying large and small bags and turned to ask Pei Qingshuang.


    ¡°There¡¯s still room. No problem.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and rolled down the car window.


    Shi Wanyu, being a woman, inevitably bought many souvenirs for her friends and family during her rare visit to the Mountain Sea Academy, in addition to her own travel possessions.

 Chapter 703 - Chapter 703: Chapter 424 Secret_2

    Chapter 703: Chapter 424 Secret_2


    Due to the lack of a storage bag, it appeared that she had a lot of belongings.


    After becoming the recognized master of the Purple Electric Sword, she showed little interest in the way of the sword. She had no intention of staying long in the Mountain Sea Academy. After buying a souvenir, she booked a ticket back to Crimson City¡¯s Dongtian, which coincidentally brought her into contact with Chen Mobai and his friends.


    While she was waiting for the bus, a car stopped in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing a face that brought her great surprise and joy.


    ¡°Ride with us.¡±


    Hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Teacher Wanyu¡¯s eyebrows raised in a bright smile.


    Chen Mobai got out of the car and helped her put her luggage into the trunk, then invited her to sit in the front passenger seat, while he and Zhongli Tianyu took the back row.


    After Chen Mobai helped Wanyu get into the car, he naturally introduced her to the others.


    ¡°This is Pei Qingshuang, a teacher at the Mountain Sea Academy, and also my friend.¡±


    With an aloof nod, Pei Qingshuang, already driving, acknowledged her introduction.


    ¡°This is Teacher Wanyu, a student from Starlight Institute, my good friend and the final candidate for the Purple Electric Sword this time round.¡±


    After Chen Mobai¡¯s introduction, Wanyu greeted the stunningly beautiful Pei Qingshuang with a reserved politeness.


    Upon hearing her name, Pei Qingshuang¡¯s hands tightened, and her pupils briefly contracted.


    She glanced at Chen Mobai and Wanyu with an odd expression, and her usually aloof face suddenly lit up with a warm, cheerful smile.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.c0


    ¡°Hello, my friends like to call me Cui. If you¡¯re willing, you can do the same.¡±


    Upon hearing Pei Qingshuang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai was left utterly bewildered.


    Wasn¡¯t she usually indifferent to everyone? Even towards Zhongli Tianyu, she didn¡¯t pay him much regard.


    Could it be because Wanyu is pretty?


    Now that he thought about it, all of Pei Qingshuang¡¯s close friends, like Wen Ren Xuewei and Yan Qiongzhi, were all good lookers. Pei surely belonged to the Look¡¯s Party.


    Due to student discounts, Wanyu had booked a train ticket. Pei Qingshuang drove her to the station first.


    Before parting ways, the two women even added each other as friends.


    ¡°Goodbye.¡±


    Wanyu waved them off happily.


    Chen Mobai waved back with a smile, but in his heart, he figured it would probably be the last time he would be seeing her.


    ¡°In the final round of the Purple Electric Sword selection, Qi Practitioners have the option to participate anonymously so as to avoid excessive public attention.¡±


    After they had dropped Wanyu off at the station, and while Zhongli Tianyu was unloading the luggage, Pei Qingshuang revealed this piece of information to Chen Mobai, who was still in the car.


    ¡°Oh, If I¡¯d known that, I would have chosen to be anonymous too.¡±


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t been aware of this option. His recent fame had been causing him headaches, and hearing her words, he let out a sigh.


    Pei Qingshuang, noticing that Chen Mobai had only understood the surface of her words, hesitated for a moment but didn¡¯t say anything else in the end.


    Had she not randomly bumped into them today and had not handled the white stone herself, she wouldn¡¯t have known that Teacher Hao Cao would stoop so low to avoid future blame.


    No wonder he had to select twelve exceptional Sword Talents. It was a smokescreen.


    But knowing the truth, Pei Qingshuang was even more amazed by Chen Mobai¡¯s talent.


    ¡°Stay in touch.¡±


    After saying these words with the unpractised smile she was not good at, Pei Qingshuang watched as Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu entered the airport.


    Inside the waiting room.


    ¡°She¡¯s the daughter of the Tao Hua sage, right? Who would have thought she could survive this well¡­¡±


    As a descendant of a Divinity Transformation family, Zhongli Tianyu seemed to know some inside story. After Pei Qingshuang left, he muttered under his breath.


    ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±


    After hearing his words, a bewildered Chen Mobai asked. He wondered whether Pei Qingshuang, like him, had suffered from a serious illness when she was young.


    ¡°Do you know who her father is?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu asked back, and Chen Mobai shook his head.


    The information inside the Immortal Gate is quite transparent but the section for Tao Hua¡¯s lover has always been blank, so no one knows who Pei Qingshuang¡¯s father really is.


    ¡°Do you know?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡±


    ¡°Then why did you¡­¡±s


    Chen Mobai was about to curse aloud when the announcement for his flight was made.


    The two of them had booked first class, and after the lanky, beautiful flight attendant left, Zhongli Tianyu began telling a story he heard from his childhood.


    ¡°Tao Hua the Immortal was a peach blossom who became a spirit, a demon turned human.¡±


    Chen Mobai was taken aback when he heard this, ¡°Isn¡¯t it said that humans and demons are reproductively incompatible, absolutely unable to produce offspring?¡±


    ¡°Right, that¡¯s why when Pei Qingshuang was born, she nearly died.¡±


    ¡°The Jumang Daoist Academy even sought the help of our Zhongli Clan, as our ancestor had left behind several Black Tortoise shells, which are excellent for replenishing Elemental Energy.¡±


    ¡°But in the end, they weren¡¯t needed. An expert from the Imperial Medical Academy stepped in, resealing Pei Qingshuang back into her mother¡¯s womb.¡±


    After experiencing Zhongli Tianyu¡¯s tale, Chen Mobai fell into deep thought.


    ¡°Could it be, that Pei Qingshuang¡¯s father isn¡¯t human either?¡±


    No sooner had he asked this question than he shook his head.


    In the Immortal Sect, there are only laws prohibiting marriage between humans and demons, which are reproductively incompatible. But if both parents were of the same demon species, there would be no reason to cover it up.


    ¡°The higher-ups must be aware of the inside story. Our Zhongli Clan hasn¡¯t produced a Nascent Soul Immortal for a long time, so our ties on the higher echelons have weakened, and we are not privy to much information.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu only happened to know this because he heard his family mention it when he was young. Seeing Pei Qingshuang today reminded him of it.


    ¡°Her father must be surnamed Pei. Are there any individuals of Gold Core or Nascent Soul Realm rank with that surname in the sect?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked a question. Tao Hua, as a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, if she were to have a Daoist partner, they would have to be at least of Gold Core rank, right?


    Zhongli Tianyu makes a dismissive gesture, indicating that he doesn¡¯t pay attention to such matters.


    Luckily, we live in an age of widespread information. All cultivators of Gold Core rank and above are councillors in the Yuan Palace. Chen Mobai conducted a search and found two real people with the surname Pei belonging to the Gold Core realm.


    Could one of them be the Daoist partner of Tao Hua?


    With this speculation, Chen Mobai treated the matter as if it was mere gossip¨Csomething to pass the time during the journey.


    By the time he returned to the Crimson City cave, he had forgotten all about it.


    Who is Pei Qingshuang¡¯s father? It was none of his business.


    Building number one of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°You little brat, you didn¡¯t embarrass me.¡±


    In the office, Che Yucheng was looking at the Purple Electric Sword Chen Mobai brought, nodding with a sense of pride.


    He had been running around trying to get the matter heard by Cheng Xuan. If Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t gotten the Purple Electric Sword, all his efforts would¡¯ve been in vain.


    ¡°Teacher, I already told you, the Purple Electric Sword is perfect for me. On the Sword Tower, I only needed to grip the sword hilt to sense a profound unity between the sword and myself. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I haven¡¯t undergone Core Formation yet, the Purple Electric Sword might have recognized me as its master on the spot¡­¡±


    In front of Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai was like a child flaunting his excellent results to a parent, essentially recycling what the media had been saying about him. Even he himself was half-convinced by his own words.


    ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ve heard this all before.¡±


    Che Yucheng interrupted Chen Mobai¡¯s repetition. He had read all these on the internet while surfing it.


    ¡°The Purple Electric Sword is a Rank-4 sword. If you want to command it, you have to at least reach the Golden Core Realm, or else, study ¡®The Union of Differences,¡¯ and make it your Prime Soul Origin.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s face fell when he heard this.


    If ¡®The Union of Differences¡¯ was something he could learn easily, he would have mastered it long ago.


    Che Yucheng only mentioned it in passing. After all, the Purple Electric Sword was now in Chen Mobai¡¯s hands. He started discussing another topic.


    ¡°You¡¯ll graduate next year. Which department have you decided on for your graduation design?¡±


    The Dance Tool Dao Academy¡¯s graduation assignment is quite simple: students just need to make a Rank-2 item from a department they¡¯ve studied in.


    For instance, a Rank-2 talisman for the Talisman Department; a Rank-2 magic artifact for the Artifact Refining Department¡­


    ¡°Naturally, your Puppet Department would be my first choice, teacher.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai sincerely expressed his choice. Furthermore, for him, creating a Rank-2 puppet would be extremely easy.


    ¡°The Academy principal is coming out of seclusion this year. He will give some extra rewards to those students who present a Rank-3 product for their graduation assignment.¡±


    Che Yucheng finally brought up the main point.


    ¡°What kind of rewards?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes sparkled as he asked. Whatever a Nascent Soul Immortal would give as a reward couldn¡¯t be bad, could it?

 Chapter 704 - Chapter 704: Chapter 425 Magical Treasure Embryo_1

    Chapter 704: Chapter 425 Magical Treasure Embryo_1


    ¡°In addition to the original device piece, there is also the embryo of a personal magic treasure crafted by the principal himself!¡±


    This news would also be announced at the end of the year, so Che Yucheng directly mentioned it in advance.


    After a cultivator achieves Core Formation, they can forge their personal magic treasure.


    This magic treasure is connected with a cultivator¡¯s mind and will continue to ascend in rank with the cultivator¡¯s growth. It is one of the foundations of a cultivator, part of the Dao Fruit.


    That¡¯s why the casting of the personal magic treasure is so important. If the cultivator doesn¡¯t do it themselves, there will be a feeling of hindrance when operating and using it in the early stage.


    But the technology in the Immortal Gate has developed, and many methods have been thought of to bypass this difficulty.


    For example, asking a top-ranked artifact refiner to help create a magical treasure embryo that suits the cultivator¡¯s taste according to the cultivator¡¯s cultivation technique and spiritual root attributes so that the cultivator could incorporate it into their body to nourish with spiritual power in advance.


    After successful core formation, the magical treasure would have undergone a transformation process with cultivator, eliminating the sensation of hindrance as if it were truly made by the cultivator themself.


    For example, the Star Concentrating Stone that Lan Haitian got from the Dance Tool Dao Academy is a Rank-3 embryo of a personal magic treasure.


    Cheng Xuan is the only Rank-5 artifact refiner in the Immortal Gate. The treasure embryo refined with his help is guaranteed to be high-quality.


    ¡°Teacher, if I refine a Rank-3 puppet and a Rank-3 Talisman, can the principal help me refine two personal magic treasure embryos?¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai, feeling a bit more greedy, asked another question.


    ¡°You little rascal, don¡¯t be so insatiable.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.Co


    Che Yucheng rebuked him.


    Who is Cheng Xuan? Even Gold Core cultivators might not always get his help with refining if they ask.


    It¡¯s just that the graduates from the Dance Tool Dao Academy in recent years have been fortunate. They happened upon Cheng Xuan coming out of seclusion and therefore received this extravagant benefit.


    ¡°All Rank-3 items will be sent to the principal for him to evaluate personally. He will select the works he is satisfied with and award the creation of magical treasure embryos. So, being Rank-3 alone is not enough. You need to be outstanding among your peers in order to seize this opportunity.¡±


    As one of the four major Daoist Academies, the Dance Tool Dao Academy, although it ranked lowest until last year, has a student quality that far exceeds that of the top ten academies. It is a rare achievement for students to obtain a Rank-3 profession on graduation.


    For example, Ming Yuhua, who was highly praised by Deng Daoyun, the head of the Refining Implement Department, is said to certainly be able to pass the Rank-3 artifact refiner examination before graduation.


    It¡¯s also not impossible for Yunyang Bing to achieve the Rank-3 array master, and even Wang Xingyu, although he is not as good as Qing Nu, is also a genius in alchemy.


    ¡°Teacher, my Sword Sha that I have cultivated is also Rank-3¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai felt a bit unfair. As the most outstanding graduate of the Sword Control Department in a century and the universally recognized Sword Cultivation Genius in a millennium, second only to Bai Guang, he should not have his best skill excluded from the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal because there is no sword cultivator.


    ¡°You want to say that your sword has achieved merit for the Daoist Academy, don¡¯t you? Due to your Purple Electric Sword, the principal had to busy himself finding several Nascent Soul cultivators. Now you have a Rank-4 sword in hand, yet you feel wronged!¡±


    Che Yucheng once again rebuked Chen Mobai for his insatiability. After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt it was true and immediately lowered his head to accept the scolding.


    Without the backing of Dance Tool Dao Academy and Cheng Xuan, no matter how many Spirit Stones he has, an insignificant Foundation Establishment cultivator like him would not be eligible to compete with several Gold Core cultivators.


    ¡°However, as long as you produce a Rank-3 puppet, in consideration of the honor you have gained for the Daoist Academy over these years, the principal will definitely help you refine a magical treasure embryo.¡±


    After speaking, Che Yucheng felt it was almost enough. His tone softened and gave Chen Mobai a comforting assurance.


    Indeed, the upper level still remembered his contributions and achievemnt for the academy.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai felt that his enrollment in the Dance Tool Dao Academy and becoming the chief representative was the wisest decision of his life.


    However, as the chief representative of the Daoist Academy, he must convincingly show off his skills and attract everyone¡¯s attention. He certainly cannot let people think he is a sham.


    It¡¯s decided, he will create a Formless Puppet to thrill the arena!


    So that Che Yucheng could also be very proud.


    Of course, the main reason is that the only Rank-3 puppet he comprehended with Enlightenment Tea was the Formless Puppet.


    After leaving Building 1, Chen Mobai headed for the Student Union.


    ¡°I¡¯m not here to find you.¡±


    Hearing that he was coming, Zhongli Tianyu ran down from his president¡¯s office, only to see Chen Mobai waving his hands at him.


    ¡°If you¡¯re not looking for me, then what are you doing here?¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu was curious as he couldn¡¯t think of anything else Chen Mobai would have to do at the Student Union besides randomly checking his attendance rate.


    ¡°Where is Jialan, I came to see her.¡±


    Chen Mobai called his former secretary. Zhuang Jialan, who just came down from the second floor, pointed to herself in surprise, apparently not expecting he was looking for her.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m registering for the Rank-3 Talisman Maker test, and I thought Jialan had taken the test before, so I came to get some advice.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Although Chen Mobai is known as the top Talisman Master of his class, in reality, Zhuang Jialan and Si Guanyu in his class are the true Talisman Masters. Not only did they pass the Rank-2 Talisman Maker exam during their Qi Cultivation, but they also took the Rank-3 exam.


    Unfortunately, Rank-3 is very difficult. Even though the two of them had already accomplished Foundation Establishment, they also failed.


    But at least they have more experience than Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Tsk.¡±


    Zhongli Tianyu swung his sleeves and went straight upstairs to his office.

 Chapter 705 - Chapter 705: Chapter 425: Magical Treasure Embryo_2

    Chapter 705: Chapter 425: Magical Treasure Embryo_2


    ¡°By the way, the president announced this year that he would be offering some additional rewards to outstanding students¡­¡±


    Having been in the Student Council for many years, Chen Mobai knew many others from the Metaphysical Class who would heed his call to join. He didn¡¯t plan on keeping this news to himself, so he announced it directly in front of everyone present.


    ¡°Really!¡±


    As expected, everyone was taken aback upon hearing that Cheng Xuan would personally forge the Magic Artifact embryos. Their breaths hitched in excitement.


    A personal customization from a Rank-5 Artifact Refiner was usually something only Gold Core cultivators from the Daoist Academy would get. Even they did not get such a treatment.


    Considering their luck in landing such a good opportunity, everyone quickly started thinking of ways they could produce a Rank-3 object in the shortest time possible as soon as they received confirmation from Chen Mobai.


    ¡°I¡¯ve told you the news, but since the Daoist Academy has yet to officially announce it, kindly keep it within the Student Council and do not divulge it to anyone else.¡±


    Chen Mobai gave a final reminder, and everyone nodded seriously, thanking him while beginning to discuss this big news.


    Zhongli Tianyu remained unperturbed, showing no interest at all as he ascended the stairs.


    His Bagua Mirror was already a top-grade Legal Treasure of the Daoist Academy. In its perfect state, it was even a Rank-5, sufficient for his use until reaching Nascent Soul Formation ¨C even higher Realms. Therefore, he had barely any interest or energy in cultivating and refining other magic artifacts.


    ¡°Jialan, let¡¯s find a quiet office to discuss about the Rank-3 talisman making.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Mobai immediately led Zhuang Jialan to the second floor conference room with a pleasant demeanor.


    ¡°Head, which Rank-3 talisman do you plan on crafting?¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Zhuang Jialan was very clear about Chen Mobai¡¯s talent. He was a true genius who could achieve anything he set his mind to.


    ¡°These are the ten talismans for my Rank-3 Talisman Maker exam. Which one do you think is the easiest?¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words revealed a bit of his own insecurity, but Zhuang Jialan assumed that he wanted to approach talisman study by focusing on the basics, building from simple to complex, so she arranged the ten talismans in order of complexity.


    ¡°The Dividing Soul Talisman would be the easiest to study, but it¡¯s also the hardest if you want to master weaving reality with illusion. However, if you just want to complete a Rank-3 talisman, you can start with this one.¡±


    ¡°After casting the Youth Talisman, one can maintain their youthful appearance for a period of time. The duration depends on the grade of the talisman. The initiation is quite difficult, though, so you can put it off for later.¡±


    ¡°This Paper People, Paper Horse Talisman, is a simplified version of the Six Ding and Six Jia Immortal Talisman. The next level above is the Bean-Soldier Talisman, which is considered one of the most challenging systems of talisman cultivation in our Daoist Academy.¡±


    ¡­


    After hearing Zhuang Jialan¡¯s analysis, Chen Mobai instantly understood that he probably wouldn¡¯t pass his exam.


    However, he was mentally prepared for this. After all, due to the incident with Meng Huang earlier this year, he had neglected his studies. If it weren¡¯t for the Divine Consciousness Breakthrough, he would have regretted his decision.


    ¡°Jialan, thanks for helping me analyze these. These talismans and talisman inks are produced by my own factory. Feel free to use them.¡±


    After inviting Zhuang Jialan to help analyze the ten talismans for his Rank-3 Talisman Maker exam, Chen Mobai offered her some items as a way of showing gratitude. She accepted his gift without modesty, smiling.


    Then Zhuang Jialan shared her experiences and insights from her own Rank-3 examination.


    Leaving the Student Council, Chen Mobai returned to his own cabin.


    Just when he was about to ponder over how to complete a Rank-3 talisman, he received a call from Meng Huang.


    Meng Huang: [I see the light on in your room.]


    Chen Mobai: [Yes, is there something you need?]


    Meng Huang: [¡­]


    Meng Huang: [I¡¯ve received the Solidifying Qi Liquid and Spirit Ascension Powder I ordered. Will you come up and help me verify their quality?]


    While the backend of the Immortal Network was official, some products were contracted out to the top ten colleges or the hundred and twenty prefectures for refining and processing. As a result, there were chances of getting low-quality products that could be returned.


    Chen Mobai had originally planned to study talismans tonight, but since Meng Huang had made this request and both items were ones he had taken the time to nab, it was necessary for him to check them out.


    He just hoped there wouldn¡¯t be any unexpected twists and turns.


    However, by the time Chen Mobai flew there and had time to check the items, it was already noon the next day.


    ¡°The items are fine.¡±


    Meng Huang herself cooked lunch as usual. Chen Mobai ate while checking out the Solidifying Qi Liquid and Spirit Ascension Powder, confirming their excellent quality.


    ¡°Mmm, I¡¯m planning to start Foundation Establishment the day after tomorrow. What do you think?¡±


    After putting the last serving of vegetables on the table, Meng Huang, dressed in an apron, sat down with a joyful expression and asked.


    ¡°That¡¯s fine. Just like at the end of last year, you can go ahead and get a room first. Leave the door for me.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After thinking it over, Chen Mobai felt that the sooner Meng Huang began her Foundation Establishment, the better. He nodded and encouraged her to get it done as quickly as possible.


    Even if she didn¡¯t succeed this time around ¨C given that she had the threshold technique ¨C she could try again in a month. As long as her luck wasn¡¯t horrible, she should succeed within four or five attempts before graduating at the end of the year.


    ¡°This time, should I again resort to the Equaling Heaven Art?¡±


    Meng Huang hesitated for a moment, then asked another question.


    ¡°That¡¯s a minor technique. If you still place your hopes on such things, I can guarantee that you¡¯ll still fail the Foundation Establishment, even with the threshold technique. You have to believe in yourself. You¡¯re not the same as you were last year.¡±

 Chapter 706 - Chapter 706: Chapter 425: Magical Treasure Embryo_3

    Chapter 706: Chapter 425: Magical Treasure Embryo_3


    Chen Mobai earnestly conveyed his thoughts, while Meng Huang was merely asking out of curiosity. After she had practiced the Borderline Technique, her fear of the Foundation Establishment stage had diminished substantially.


    She hoped that ideally, she could complete the Foundation Establishment before graduation. Otherwise, if she were to delay her graduation by another year or two, her celebrity status would inevitably attract the media¡¯s attention, with accusations of favoritism sure to follow.


    ¡°By the way, now that the school president is out of seclusion this year¡­ If you can sing a Rank-3 song, you should consider giving it a shot.¡±


    Chen Mobai shared this insider information with Meng Huang, treating it as a favor. In the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, there is a position for an immortal music practitioner who utilizes spiritual music and instruments to perform. The Shocking God Sonata, for example, is a Rank-5 Immortal Piece.


    Meng Huang¡¯s eyes sparkled upon hearing this, but she immediately shook her head in disappointment.


    ¡°I¡¯ve neglected my music studies for the past several years, focusing on Foundation Establishment. Now, I merely maintain a Rank-2 level. Even if I were to succeed in Foundation Establishment immediately, it would still be impossible for me to master a Rank-3 song within half a year.¡±


    ¡°Do your best. Considering your status as a practitioner of the Mystic Sound Method, you won¡¯t lack resources in the future. If the school president doesn¡¯t have any Magical Treasure Embryos, the Immortal Gate will arrange for you to receive one someday.¡±


    Meng Huang beamed at Chen Mobai¡¯s words. If she successfully establishes her foundation, she will become eligible to join the art troupe at the Immortal Gate. After dedicating a certain amount of time to her craft, priority will be given to providing her with Liquid Gold Jade and Rejuvenation Pills.


    However, the Magical Treasure Embryos provided by the Immortal Gate are unlikely to be as high-quality as those personally customized by Grandmaster Cheng Xuan.


    Yet for Meng Huang, who was originally hopeless about Foundation Establishment, this was great news.


    ¡°What Rank-3 item do you plan to refine?¡±


    Having finished her meal, Meng Huang asked casually as she used the Cleaning Technique to tidy up.


    ¡°You¡¯re so certain that I¡¯m capable of crafting a Rank-3 item?¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    Chen Mobai found her certainty curious. He had built his reputation as an unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius. Although he possessed talents in many other areas, they fell within the normal range.


    ¡°You hold the Qualification of Deification. The only question is whether or not you wish to do something; there¡¯s nothing you can¡¯t achieve.¡±


    When Meng Huang uttered these words, she displayed more confidence than Chen Mobai himself.


    Ever since she returned from the White Stone Cave, she has been aware of the bond formed between Chen Mobai and the Purple Electric Sword. She felt incredibly fortunate to have completed her trade with the greatest genius the Immortal Gate had seen in a millennium prior to this event, as she assumed that her qualifications would have been deemed insufficient by Chen Mobai if the trade were to happen now.


    Upon hearing Meng Huang¡¯s words, Chen Mobai could only muster a faint smile.


    He didn¡¯t have a choice; his fame in the Immortal Gate was rising like oil on fire, and was being celebrated with fresh flowers ¨C an unwanted deviation from his original intent of quietly amassing wealth.


    Upon assisting Meng Huang with her Foundation Establishment, he planned to retreat to the Divine Wood Sect and maintain a low profile, allowing his blazing reputation to cool down a bit within the Immortal Gate.


    However, he still had to take the graduation project seriously.


    Reflecting on his classmates like Ming Yuhua, Yunyang Bing, Wang Xingyu, who were likely to pass their Rank-3 professional assessments before graduation, he felt the need to showcase his best work in order to outshine them.


    ¡°I originally planned to simply draw a Rank-3 Talisman. Just enough to graduate,¡±


    Chen Mobai gently sighed, pretending to be burdened by the weight of his reputation in front of Meng Huang.

    ¡°But now, with the entire media of the Immortal Gate fixed on me, they will undoubtedly cover my graduation extensively. For the sake of sparing my teacher any unnecessary trouble, I need to reveal my true skills.¡±


    ¡°Oh, what¡¯s that?¡±


    Meng Huang, who knew Chen Mobai was not only the top in Sword Dao but also in Talisman, Puppet Creation, and Agricultural Studies among his classmates, wondered which one he would choose to stand out.


    ¡°I¡¯ll create a Formless Puppet!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Huang was left speechless.

 Chapter 709 - Chapter 709: Chapter 427: Zi Hua Sword Manual_1

    Chapter 709: Chapter 427: Zi Hua Sword Manual_1


    Chen Mobai originally meant to celebrate just until noon and not waste the rest of the room rental for the day.


    Who would have thought that Meng Huang would extend it for another three whole days.


    Chen Mobai was bitter but had to swallow his words; after all, he proposed the celebration in the first place, and he could hardly complain now.


    Three days later, a radiant Meng Huang swaggered out, eager to announce her Foundation Establishment success herself.


    To avoid any suspicion, Chen Mobai had to extend for another day, quietly checking out and leaving the building only after Meng Huang had attracted enough attention in the outside world.


    Before long, the news of the star student achieving Foundation Establishment in her final year of graduation spread throughout the Daoist Academy.


    Meng Huang intended to face those who claimed she got her positions due to favoritism, and said it was impossible for her to achieve Foundation Establishment. However, even after her Foundation Establishment, there were still many who criticized that she pulled down the average record of Daoist Academy¡¯s Foundation Establishment, attributing her success to sheer luck.


    ¡°Hmph, they just refuse to acknowledge my brilliance.¡±


    Inside the villa atop the mountain, Meng Huang, reading the sarcastic remarks focused on her below in the school forum, saw her high spirits from the successful Foundation Establishment rapidly diminish.


    ¡°If you care about these minor things, your path to progress will be hindered. You should always look forward, just like me.¡±


    Chen Mobai is also present, becoming accustomed to Meng Huang¡¯s home-cooked meals. When he stayed at the Daoist Academy, he would visit during meal times.


    ¡°Only someone like you can have such an expansive mind. I just can¡¯t stand it. From the moment I entered the academy, they have bad-mouthed me for a decade. If I hadn¡¯t achieved Foundation Establishment, I would have been regarded as a disgrace to the Dance Tool Dao Academy on graduation day.¡±


    After Meng Huang¡¯s Foundation Establishment, she showed her true self more, eating and playing with her mobile phone while bickering with people online.


    wuxiaworld.site


    ¡°Once you join the performing arts troupe after graduation, you will receive the best training. You will have the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill as soon as sixty years pass. You will be on a different starting point than them, so there¡¯s no need to waste time on this.¡±


    As someone who had been through this, Chen Mobai gave another word of advice. He behaved like this when he was young, always involving in high-intensity online disputes.


    But after becoming the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he seldom did such things.


    Instead of spending time on that, he would rather use the Spirit Stones for extra cultivation of Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    ¡°Okay, I understand.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Mobai, Meng Huang obediently put down her phone to start browsing entertainment news on her TV.


    Compared to the criticism faced in the Daoist Academy, most of the entertainment circle was positive reporting.


    Having another cultivator capable of Mystic Sound Method at the Foundation Establishment stage grants the masses in the Xian door more benefits after all.


    People were also full of praise and commendation amidst their congratulations, hailing her as the first goddess of Xian door, possessing beauty, strength, and talent.


    Seeing this, Meng Huang was overjoyed.


    ¡°Although you succeeded in the Foundation Establishment, your Spiritual Root Talent is quite ordinary. You need to work hard if you desire to proceed to Core Formation.¡±


    After finishing the meal, the two sat on the balcony, tasting the Spiritual Wine brought by Chen Mobai. The latter, with a purpose, reminded.


    ¡°Hmm, I will strive to achieve Perfection in Foundation Establishment within twenty years.¡±


    Meng Huang, an extremely clever person, quickly understood the implied meaning in Chen Mobai¡¯s words. Her face flushed, but she boldly responded.


    ¡°Looking forward to that day.¡±


    Saying that, Chen Mobai raised the wine glass in his hand to Meng Huang and they drank to the last drop under the sunset.


    ¡°This is a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir, a gift to celebrate your Foundation Establishment success.¡±


    Early next morning before leaving, Chen Mobai left the Barrier Breaking Elixir, which he had exchanged in the academy but had never taken, on the bedside of Meng Huang¡¯s bed.


    He reminded her subtly to keep on cultivating and achieve Perfection in Foundation Establishment as early as possible.


    After helping Meng Huang with her Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai finally felt a bit relieved.


    Next, he borrowed two Cultivation Techniques from the academy library and applied for a long leave from Che Yucheng, claiming that he wanted to close the door to study all the blueprint of the Insubstantial Puppet.


    Che Yucheng naturally approved instantly.


    In reality, Chen Mobai headed to Xiao Nanshan.


    He summoned his two disciples and inquired about the recent situation at the Eastern Wilderness. Finding that it hadn¡¯t changed much since his departure, except that the tension between Lei Nation and Mountain Shaker Peak seemed to have risen.


    Several Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect were dispatched to the border by Chu Zuoshu. Also, many Qi Cultivation disciples and aristocratic families of the Four Nations accepted tasks and rushed to the Lei Nation.

    ¡°Master, a few days ago, the sect found out that Ji Dingjin had left Shake Mountain but did not know where he went. It¡¯ll be beneficial if you could contest if he is on the battlefield, especially under the circumstances where the Sect Leader can¡¯t move casually, and Meng Senior Uncle Apprentice has not yet healed from his injury.¡±


    As the third-in-command of the real transmission and a direct disciple of Chen Mobai, Luo Yixuan could receive a lot of high-level news within the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Ji Dingjin, huh. We still have an unfinished Magic Duel¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of his past battle with Ji Dingjin during the final stage of the war at Shake Mountain. He was not a Sword Demon then, and he indeed could not deal with an accomplished Ji Dingjin, a Foundation Establishment consummate Body Cultivator.


    However, things are different now.

 Chapter 710 - Chapter 710: 427

    Chapter 710: 427


    He wondered if Ji Dingjin¡¯s body could withstand his Sword Sha¡¯s power!


    However, since Chu Zuoshu had not demanded him to go into battle, it signified that the sect was not yet ready to fight a life-or-death battle with the Mountain Shaker Peak. Although Chen Mobai was prepared to act, he would not take the initiative.


    After Luo Yixuan finished speaking, Zhuo Ming reported on the conditions of the thousand acres of Spirit Fields in Xiao Nanshan.


    All the Rank-1 Fire Spirit Rice was growing well, awaiting harvest at the end of the year.


    The newly acquired sloping land on the Spirit Mountain had also been converted into good terraced fields. They had planted Spiritual Oil Mustard Greens and were awaiting the seed sowing next spring.


    ¡°Master, these eggs are from the Sprit Chickens. They taste very good too.¡±


    While speaking, Zhuo Ming took out a basket of cooked Spirit Chicken Eggs from her storage bag, and Luo Yixuan immediately began peeling them.


    ¡°Hmm, not bad. The egg white is tender and the egg yolk is milky. It¡¯ll taste even better if you fry it with some seasoning.¡±


    The cooking skills in the Eastern Wilderness were mostly limited to just cooking the food thoroughly. Even the highly touted Sky Meal Building¡¯s taste was comparable to the ordinary roadside vendors in the Xiandao. However, the one advantage here was the richness of the ingredients.


    ¡°Master, how is the Spirit Chicken Egg best fried? Next time we go out, I¡¯ll make it for you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan promptly asked.


    The three of them often had picnics while patrolling the Spirit Rice and Spirit Plants. Chen Mobai had displayed his cooking skills, which was indeed superior to his two disciples. His unheard-of cooking methods had opened their eyes.


    ¡°Why wait for another day when we can do it today? Let¡¯s go fetch a couple of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, catch a couple of Spirit Chickens, and then go catch a couple of fish from the rice field. I will show off my cooking skills.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.Co


    Having resolved the issue of the Purple Lightning Sword Meng Phoenix in Xiandao, Chen Mobai was in a great mood. Upon hearing Luo Yixuan¡¯s suggestion, he immediately took his Red Misty Cloud Silk, along with his two disciples, and descended from the mountain.


    ¡°Master, the seeds of Green Jade Spirit Rice have been sorted out, and now 99% of the rice grown in this acre will be Rank-2.¡±


    In the Spirit Fields under Xiao Nanshan, after maturing two Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai was led by Zhuo Ming to check out the Green Jade Spirit Rice that they had crossbred and cultivated.


    ¡°Very good, let¡¯s plant Green Jade Spirit Rice next year, plant this in all second-grade spiritual fields, and Fire Spirit Rice in all first-grade ones.¡±


    Chen Mobai was very happy. After many years of farming, he finally achieved a success, living up to his reputation as the top agriculturist of Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    ¡°Master, do we still need to plant the rest of the hybrid Spirit Rice on Xiao Nanshan?¡±


    After hearing this, Zhuo Ming pointed to the sixty acres of Spirit Fields, where they had grown different types of hybrid Spirit Rice. She was now engrossed in this random combination experiment, which produced various peculiar types of rice seeds.


    The success of the Green Jade Spirit Rice gave her a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.


    ¡°Of course we should continue. Above Rank-2, there are Rank-3, Rank-4¡­ the joy of agricultural studies lies precisely in this.¡±


    When Chen Mobai finished speaking, Zhuo Ming was somewhat perplexed, but she instinctively nodded her head, indicating that she would follow her master¡¯s steps.


    As for Luo Yixuan, who was standing beside them, she understood the value of Rank-3 Spirit Rice. After hearing this, she was greatly surprised, but soon after ,her admiration for Chen Mobai grew.


    This master was not only a top-notch sword cultivator, but also a skilled hermit farmer. She wondered how much of his skills she would be able to learn during her lifetime.


    ¡°Master, this rice flower fish tastes amazing.¡±


    After finishing their picnic, Luo Yixuan still reluctantly put down the fishbone in her hands. Chen Mobai¡¯s cooking skills and the seasonings from Xiandao completely won over his disciples¡¯ hearts.


    ¡°The Azure Blood Carp raised by your Senior Brother Wen Bo tastes even better. Here¡¯s a task for you. Ask Wen Bo for some fish fry, raise them in the rice fields, and use Azure Blood Carp to practice the cooking skills I taught you. If I am satisfied, I will gift you something.¡±


    Chen Mobai was sincerely instructing his three disciples.


    Luo Yixuan had an exceptionally good Water Spirit Root and was practicing the Blackwater Cultivation. During her cooking practice, she would have to taste the food continuously, which would enhance her Water Spirit Root.


    ¡°Ming¡¯er, you should learn the frying technique for bamboo shoots just like I taught you. Once your cooking skills are refined, let Wen Bo try first. If he¡¯s satisfied, I will have a taste.¡±


    Although the Jade Bamboo in Xiao Nanshan was used for growing Spirit Rice, they could still buy quite a few Jade Bamboo Shoots within the four country borders of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Azure Blood Carp improved the Water Spirit Root, and Jade Bamboo Shoots improved the Wood Spirit Root. However, this matter was too significant in Eastern Wilderness, and Chen Mobai, lacking the absolute cultivation level, dared not reveal it. He could only benefit his three disciples in this way.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    Luo Yixuan and Zhuo Ming thought that Chen Mobai wanted to teach them cooking, both nodded reverently.


    In the following days.


    Chen Mobai cultivated on Xiao Nanshan, enhancing his cultivation level of the Pure Yang Scroll, while studying the ¡°Purple Thunder Dharma¡± and the ¡°Purple Vault Divine Thunder Sword Art¡± that he had taken from the library.


    [These two cultivation techniques were practiced by my old master. However, if you want to achieve a unison between man and sword, communicating your intent, it would be best to cultivate the Zi Hua Sword Manual revised by the old master.]


    Chen Mobai was studying these two cultivation techniques to master the Purple Lightning Sword and naturally let out the Purple Lightning Sword from the storage bag, watching it and asking questions as he studied.


    ¡°The Zi Hua Sword Manual? Our Dance Tool Dao Academy does not have this one, but the National Library does.¡±


    Chen Mobai checked online on his phone and found that this Zi Hua Sword Manual required 8 million points for an exchange download.


    It also required Rank-3 authorization, only Golden Core cultivators could view it.


    [Would you like to cultivate it? I have the full version here.]


    The Purple Lightning Sword, stuck in the giant raw Spirit Stone and bathed in spiritual energy, sent a fluctuation to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Show it to me.¡±


    As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, an invisible sword thought turned into purple electric light and entered his brows.


    It was probably an hour later when he opened his eyes, shaking his head involuntarily.


    ¡°It¡¯s too hard to cultivate, not suitable for me.¡±


    As it turned out, this Zi Hua Sword Manual was a great technique created by Master Qing Shi after his ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, aiming to explore his path to Divinity Transformation. It was based on the Purple Thunder Dharma, the Purple Vault Divine Thunder Sword Art, and the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book.


    Therefore, the cultivation threshold of the Zi Hua Sword Manual is extremely high, requiring at least Foundation Establishment ¡°Perfection¡±, and is limited only to those with a Thunder Spiritual Root.


    This is also the standard for the Purple Lightning Sword to recognize its master.


    Originally, according to its plan, it chose a suitable Golden Core Thunder Spiritual Root cultivator, then let him change to the cultivation of the Zi Hua Sword Manual. In this way, they would be able to control a part of the power of the Purple Lightning Sword and cultivate the Sword Artifact with the Golden Core spiritual power.


    But all the Golden Core cultivators in the Taoist sect are cunning, so they would not use their own spiritual power to cultivate the Magic Artifact. Thus, they all refused without hesitation.


    Just in time, Chen Mobai smashed out a high-grade Spirit Stone. After thinking about it and comparing all the conditions, the Purple Lightning Sword eventually chose the one with the highest treatment.


    [Well, there¡¯s nothing we can do then. We can only wait for you to enter the Core Formation stage before we try to meld as one.]


    If he changes to cultivate the Zi Hua Sword Manual, probably by the time he reaches Foundation Establishment ¡°Perfection¡±, under the active circumstances of the Purple Lightning Sword, Chen Mobai can control this Rank-4 sword.


    ¡°In this case, our cultivation sect is about to initiate the territorial war. I may fight with the local indigenous cultivators. If I encounter a Golden Core cultivator then, can I borrow your power to accomplish the kill?¡±


    Chen Mobai consulted the Purple Lightning Sword, wanting to know the level of power he currently possessed.


    [If I actively cooperate, you can barely borrow my power to execute one sword strike!]


    Having gained a considerable benefit from Chen Mobai, the Purple Electric Sword felt the dense spiritual energy enveloping it and told the truth.


    ¡°My friend, the Qing Shuang sword master, borrowed the Qing Shuang sword to strike me four times the last time?¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Chen Mobai thought of the scene of his battle with Pei Qingshuang at the Jumang Daoist Academy and couldn¡¯t help asking doubtfully.


    [She is legitimately cultivating the Qingxiao Sword Canon, which was the old master¡¯s Dao companion. Her spiritual power, Divine Sense, and even her body perfectly fit with Little Qing, so she could strike out four times.]


    ¡°I¡¯ll provide spirit stones, how many do you need if we can kill a Golden Core Cultivator?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again.


    The Purple Lightning Sword trembled violently upon hearing this.

 Chapter 711 - Chapter 711: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_1

    Chapter 711: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_1


    ¡°Just point to whom you want to kill when the time comes.¡±


    The Purple Electric Sword eventually succumbed to the Spirit Stone, and Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction.


    He was gradually testing the Purple Electric Sword. It seemed that the sword could still strike independently even without a cultivator wielding it. He wondered if this Rank-4 sword could confront a Golden Core Cultivator?


    ¡°How many Spirit Stones will it need at that time?¡±


    ¡°At least 1¡­ half of a high-grade Spirit Stone.¡±


    The Purple Electric Sword originally wanted a year¡¯s worth of tribute but felt it might be too much, so it changed its demand to half a Spirit Stone on the spot.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that a bit too little? After all, if you need to make a move, it definitely means facing a Golden Core Cultivator.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought for a while and felt it was a bit cheap.


    After all, in the Eastern Wilderness, even a hundred high-grade Spirit Stones wouldn¡¯t be enough to invite a Golden Core Cultivator. These people were either patriarchs or famous Loose Cultivators with immense reputation.


    ¡°It¡¯s not even certain that I could win. Without the support of a sword master, I can only exert a tenth of my power, so half a Spirit Stone should be considered the minimal fee for wielding the sword. The specific amount will depend on the outcome of the battle.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Purple Electric Sword, although naive as a child, felt as if it had lowballed itself and added another sentence.


    ¡°Alright then, but given my cautious nature, the chances of you being used are not high.¡±


    Chen Mobai had done enough probing and learned about the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s limit.


    wuxiaworld.site


    However, he felt that a tenth of its power was too low and it might not be a match for a Golden Core Cultivator, so he decided it¡¯s better to remain low profile and humble, true to his original intentions.


    The Purple Electric Sword had no reaction to this and continued to enjoy the abundant sense of Spiritual Energy bathing its body, still embedded in the raw Spirit Stone.


    Time passed quickly.


    In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.


    That day, Chen Mobai, seated on the top of Xiao Nanshan¡¯s wooden house, opened his eyes as they were wrapped in dense Spiritual Energy.


    His one intermediate grade Spirit Stone had become dim, its Spiritual Energy completely absorbed by the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    He skillfully fetched a Spirit-Testing Instrument from his storage bag. This delicate device had been with him for nearly ten years, and its price of 580 Good Deed Points had already long been proven to be a worthy one.


    ¡°Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 48, Water 19, Fire 75, Earth 14¡±


    After infusing a line of Spiritual Power, Chen Mobai saw his Spiritual Root Value increase and nodded with satisfaction.


    After two continuous years of cultivating with intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, there was significant progress in his Six Yang body. He further reduced his Wood and Water Spiritual Roots by one point, and increased his Fire Spiritual Root by three points.


    This time, he learned from past lessons. Once he felt changes in his Spiritual Roots, he stopped and planned to touch the Talent Tree in the Divine Tree Secret Realm later.


    During the past half year, he had basically been in a state of meditation and Cultivation on Xiao Nanshan¡¯s Spiritual Energy-rich land.


    Depending on the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water exchanged from the Daoist Academy, the Pure Yang Spiritual Power progressed steadily and 130 drops of Liquid Spiritual Power had been condensed in the Dantian Qi Sea.


    However, to advance to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment with the Pure Yang Scroll, 150 drops of Liquid Spiritual Power were needed.


    Without the Immortal Peach Fruit given by Yuan Hongyuan, Chen Mobai originally had no hope to advance to the late Foundation Establishment stage before graduation.


    But now, with a year¡¯s time left and sufficient Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, it should be no problem.


    Nevertheless, compared to the increase in Pure Yang Spiritual Power, the progress of the Pure Yang Daoist Body undoubtedly made him happier.


    After all, his Dantian Qi Sea and Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion had been expanded to the Perfection of Foundation Establishment due to several opportunities. There were no more bottlenecks before Core Formation, and it could all be achieved sooner or later.


    However, the Pure Yang Daoist Body was different.


    As the easiest Divinity Transformation Cultivation Technique among the Immortal Sects to learn, the only thing that held back the Cultivators from Cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll was this Pure Yang Daoist Body, which required a lot of resources and time.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s mentor, Shao Yang the Real Man, had been expending a lot of resources and time on this matter from the moment he started studying until now, almost ten years. It was unknown whether he would be able to cultivate the Nine Yangs in his lifetime and reach the threshold before Nascent Soul Formation.


    Despite not being short of Spirit Stones, there were no examples in the Immortal Sect of progressing and enhancing the Pure Yang Daoist Body entirely with Spirit Stones from start to finish. It was all just theory.


    Chen Mobai was also a bit afraid that later on, these Spirit Stones would be ineffective for the Pure Yang Daoist Body, and he would have to rely only on his own diligent Cultivation.


    Luckily so far, the Spirit Stones have always been useful.


    After two years of continuous refinement, he finally sensed the breakthrough of his Six Yang body today.


    Judging by this rate, approximately in four years, the Six Yang body should be able to reach Perfection.


    Even if according to the experience of the Immortal Sect¡¯s Pure Yang Scroll Cultivators, the progress of the Pure Yang Daoist Body would slow down as it reached the later stages, Chen Mobai had originally planned to wait twenty years for Meng Huang, so this period would definitely be enough for him to achieve Six Yangs.


    In that case, all the prerequisites to Core Formation for the Pure Yang Scroll would be fulfilled.


    Once the problem of the Pure Yang Daoist Body was solved, there would be no more obstacles for Chen Mobai¡¯s Core Formation. What remained was to acquire the Golden Core Spiritual Materials to raise the success rate.


    After glancing at the Five Elements Spiritual Root Values on the screen of the Spirit-Testing Instrument, Chen Mobai smiled and opened the Cloud Mist Array on the mountain top.

    Shortly after, several Message Talismans fell into his hands.


    The first ones were from his three disciples.


    Liu Wenbo had been traveling all this year, expanding the South Mountain Shop while also looking for the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Material, the Water Mist Ice Crystal, on behalf of Chen Mobai.


    Indeed, it was found in the Snow-blowing Palace.


    However, it was referred to as the ¡°Cold Ice Condensing Crystal¡± over there. It was a unique kind of Ice Crystal used by Snow Country¡¯s Foundation Establishment Cultivators for purifying Spiritual Power. They also discovered that it could increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment for those with the Ice Spiritual Root and viewed it as a strategic resource, hence not available for sale.

 Chapter 712 - Chapter 712: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_2

    Chapter 712: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_2


    However, Chen Mobai knew that the so-called not for sale to outsiders was only due to an unsatisfactory price.


    Thus, he authorized Liu Wenbo to associate with the cultivators of the Snow-blowing Palace, letting his senior disciple negotiate on his behalf and find out what conditions would make them willing to sell this ¡°Cold Ice Condensing Crystal¡±.


    The reputation of Divine Wood Sect¡¯s first-ranked sword cultivator still carried weight in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Lan Lingping, the outer chief elder of Snow-blowing Palace, was willing to have a face-to-face discussion with Chen Mobai about this matter.


    Lan Lingping was a cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, ranking third in the Snow-blowing Palace just behind the Core Formation Old Ancestor and the Sect Leader; her willingness to meet suggested she respected Chen Mobai.


    Liu Wenbo, not being able to make decisions on behalf of his master, sent this matter over in a message talisman.


    Looking at the date, Chen Mobai noticed it was sent a month ago.


    By now, Liu Wenbo should have returned to the sect as the year-end competition was very important for Qi Cultivation Disciples. Next year, a batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms would mature and by then, Zeng Woyou would pick and refine three batches of Foundation Building Pills.


    In name, these three batches of Foundation Building Pills are allocated to the Golden Cliff, but what if there were extras after they are refined?


    Perhaps a few of the top-ranking true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect could benefit ahead of time.


    Although this news was only known among the higher ups, Chen Mobai, as the initiator, had already let his three disciples in on it.


    Therefore, besides Zhuo Ming, who had little confidence in himself, both Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan were eager and already waiting for this day.


    Chen Mobai checked the other message talismans and saw that Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan had both gone to Divine Wood City for the annual Sect Competition, and had reported back to him.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    During his seclusion, they had also hired some Sect Qi Cultivation Disciples to operate puppets and had harvested and sorted out all the ripe Fire Spirit Rice from the thousand acres for the year-end, and stored them in the warehouse.


    The sale of these Spirit Rice also required Chen Mobai to come up with a strategy.


    After all, the Body Forging Department of the Divine Wood Sect was already saturated, and even if the remaining quantity was sold in the markets of all of Jian Country, it was expected to be like a drop in the ocean and not able to do much.


    But even if it can¡¯t be sold off, it can be used to brew wine, or be both sold and given to the sect¡¯s Qi Cultivation Disciples as a form of advertisement.


    Luo Yixuan spoke about the recent half-year situation in the Eastern Wilderness; along the border of Lei Nation, there had been frequent frictions between Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain, and it seemed that they were just short of the two upper levels tearing each other¡¯s face off and declaring war openly.


    However, amidst such circumstances, Zhou Wangshen, the town guard, seemed to be unable to hold it together any longer; a few days ago, Xie Yuntian of the Sword Training Department had led a group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Qi Cultivation Disciples over to support him.


    However, as a Qi Cultivation Disciple, she didn¡¯t understand the specific situation very well.


    After reading the Message Talismans from his three disciples, Chen Mobai immediately selected those from his good friends, Yuan Chiye and Yue Zutao.


    As expected, they knew more and were more specific, and both had already been assigned by Chu Zuoshu to the frontline of Lei Nation.


    Although the Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain had yet to start a large-scale war, casualties among the cultivators from both countries on the border became increasingly frequent.


    Zhou Wangshen was a man who couldn¡¯t stand to have a grain of sand in his eye; at the start when he was personally guarding the border, he had fiercely fought with the town guard from the Rock Country several times.


    With his mysterious Taoist Body, he barely held on to a tie.


    However, not long after Ji Dingjin arrived at the front line, Zhou Wangshen could no longer hold on.


    When facing someone at the late stage Foundation Establishment, he could still rely on his Taoist Body and magic artifacts to resist; however, when the Body Cultivator at the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment took action, Zhou Wangshen was utterly defeated. If it were not for the life-saving Spirit Talisman given by Zhou Old Ancestor, he would have probably died on the spot.


    Fortunately in a war between two major sects, apart from being overwhelmed by a higher realm, most of the time they could make up for the gap through the number of cultivators and formations.


    After Zhou Wangshen was defeated by Ji Dingjin, he began to retreat, leading the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect back to a market that had been prepared with a Rank-3 Formation long ago, and held off the fierce attack from Shake Mountain.


    Although Ji Dingjin believed himself to be invincible at the Foundation Establishment stage, he would not dare to enter a Rank-3 Formation alone.


    Instead, he turned to lead the disciples of Shake Mountain and took back two Spirit Stone Mines and a Jing Tie Mine that had been taken by the Divine Wood Sect during the last war.


    But not long after that, the Divine Wood Sect, with the help of a pre-prepared teleportation array, sent Xie Yuntian and twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators as reinforcements and launched a counterattack.


    However, Ji Dingjin was truly formidable; being a Body Cultivator who had once attempted Core Formation and was at the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, even Chu Zuoshu could only defend himself against Ji Dingjin by utilizing the traits of the Immortality Texts.


    Although Xie Yuntian was the second sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, and his Green Sun Fire Sword Light was well-honed, he was still no match for Ji Dingjin.


    After the Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain battled fiercely for three days and nights, Xie Yuntian could only rely on numerical superiority, forming a battle array to push them back within the borders of Rock Country.

    Afterward, it was the skirmish between the cultivators from both factions at the borders.


    There were also many rogue cultivators who wanted to take advantage of the chaos, creating disturbances. Together with the coteries of cultivators dispatched from Rock Country and Lei Nation, the area became the most chaotic place in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Among them, there were also message talismans from Chu Zuoshu.


    The message was for Chen Mobai to standby; should the order to wage war from the Two Old Ancestors comes down, he, as the foremost sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, would have to head to Lei Nation to suppress the situation.


    Chen Mobai selected a few important responses to his messages, and then went to Divine Wood City to meet Chu Zuoshu in person.

 Chapter 713 - Chapter 713: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_3

    Chapter 713: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_3


    ¡°An inevitable showdown with Mountain Shaker Peak is on the horizon, but I can¡¯t predict exactly when it will occur. Our two Elders are currently allying with various factions, ensuring that Ji Zhenshi can be killed in the imminent war, thereby effectively eliminating Mountain Shaker Peak.¡±


    As a direct disciple, Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t conceal anything from Chen Mobai and shared the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s plan.


    Unlike the previous surprise attack, Ji Zhenshi, having learned his lesson, would undoubtedly be prepared. Apart from him and South Teacher Dao from Liu Jia Mountain, he would likely invite a Golden Core Cultivator to strengthen his line-up, ensuring an even three against three amongst top cultivators.


    It remains to be seen if the other side will include renowned Golden Core Elders from the Eastern Wilderness or from outside its borders.


    However, if he could think of these possibilities, Elders Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue could undoubtedly foresee them as well.


    If you invite someone, I can do the same.


    The current situation is that the higher-ups of both forces are broadly soliciting allies.


    ¡°Generally speaking, in conflicts between major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, we rarely invite cultivators from outside the region, as it would break the norm. However, this time we aim to annihilate Mountain Shaker Peak. If Ji Zhenshi can sense that his survival is at stake, he certainly won¡¯t care about these conventions. Therefore, we can¡¯t push him too hard.¡±


    After Chu Zuoshu spoke, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.


    The Eastern Wilderness was once a battleground of power plays between the Five Elements Sect and non-Five Elements Sect factions.


    However, after the disintegration of the Five Elements Sect, the Divine Wood Sect emerged as the most prominent player.


    The Five Elements Sect may have been supporting them from behind. After all, during the separation, all four factions had fallen out except for the Water Vein because of their historically neutral position, which somewhat preserved the harmony.


    However, during the previous attempt to eliminate Mountain Shaker Peak, Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace sided with Ji Zhenshi. If we wish to succeed this time, we must also take these two factions into consideration.


    ¡°Sect Leader, I will be discussing a business deal with Lan Lingping from the Snow-blowing Palace in a few days. I can try to gauge their intentions.¡±


    Chen Mobai was there to report this matter. Given the looming war, any meeting with high-ranking officials from other sects would be treated sensitively unless previously announced.


    wuxiaworld.site


    ¡°Perfect timing. I¡¯ll write a letter that you can deliver on my behalf. As long as True Monarch Kong remains outside of Snow Country during the war, we at the Divine Wood Sect will generously reward them.¡±


    As for what the grand reward would be, Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t specify. After all, verbal promises can be retracted or delayed as long as they are not bound by an oath.


    Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t expected to be given this task. However, he soon realized that Lan Lingping might be trying to gauge the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s determination to wage war against Mountain Shaker Peak through their conversation.


    After leaving Shenmu Hall, the sect competition also ended perfectly.


    Liu Wenbo performed well this time, making it into the top twelve. However, the most impressive of Xiao Nanshan¡¯s disciples was still Luo Yixuan. She made it to the finals this year, but unfortunately lost to Li Yixian, who had a Rank-2 puppet.


    But this was largely Chen Mobai¡¯s fault. After Li Yixian led the Puppet Division to help him forge agricultural puppets, Li earned a considerable amount of Green Yang Spiritual Wood, enabling him to fully upgrade his nearly Rank-2 puppet.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, next year I¡¯ll teach you how to break his Blue Sun Puppet.¡±


    Seeing Luo Yixuan return somewhat sullenly, Chen Mobai said something that brightened her eyes.


    ¡°Master, but that Blue Sun Puppet is Rank-2. Can I, a mere Qi Cultivator, really break it?¡±


    After hearing her question, Chen Mobai proudly sipped his tea.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that I am immodest, but when it comes to the mastery of puppetry techniques, no one in the Eastern Wilderness can equal me.¡±


    Indeed, although the pinnacle of puppet technique in the immortal sect was only Rank-3, the theoretical foundation and manipulation skills were far superior here, ahead of numerous versions.


    If Chen Mobai were willing, he could probably master the pinnacle of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s puppetry technique in a year.


    Should he create a protective Rank-2 Blue Sun Puppet for each disciple?


    Acting on his thought, he went to the Book Pavilion of the Divine Wood Sect and found the origins of the sect¡¯s puppet techniques.


    Called ¡°The Art of Longevity Puppetry,¡± it originated from the Divine Tree Secret Realm and was likely the property of the Longevity Sect.


    The caretaker of the Book Pavilion was still Elder Brother Hu Jinshan. Even though Chen Mobai had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, making him a junior, Hu Jinshan¡¯s face looked slightly older, but he still remembered every book in the library with utmost clarity.


    ¡°Elder Chen, these are the puppet geneses from Rank-1 to Rank-2. If you require techniques at Rank-2 or higher, you will need to apply at the Transfer of Power Department. Once the application process is completed there, I can provide you with the materials.¡±


    After receiving the puppetry genesis, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t browse it immediately. After hearing Hu Jinshan¡¯s words, he gave it a cursory glance and found that indeed only the Rank-1 Red Sun Puppet and Rank-2 Blue Sun Puppet were included. However, these were enough for him.


    ¡°Thank you for the reminder.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After returning to his courtyard in Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai began to study ¡°The Art of Longevity Puppetry.¡±


    Despite only detailing the method to forge Rank-1 and Rank-2 puppets, it provided a complete introduction to the puppet inheritance of the Longevity Sect.


    These techniques were originally passed down by the Hun Yuan Ancestor. It was unknown if he obtained them from the Divine Tree Secret Realm or if they were left by the True Monarch Yi Yuan.


    This ¡°Art of Longevity Puppetry¡± surprisingly reached up to Rank-4.


    The Rank-1 Red Sun, the Rank-2 Blue Sun, and the Rank-3 Golden Sun represented the three grades of Spiritual Wood found in Giant Tree Ridge.

 Chapter 714 - Chapter 714: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_4

    Chapter 714: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_4


    Further up, naturally, Everlife Wood would be used as material. Puppets refined with it were called ¡°Everlife Wood Dragons¡±.


    During the Five Elements Sect era, the Hun Yuan Elder had once refined a complete wood dragon that was known as the ¡°Little Azure Dragon¡± in the Eastern Wilderness. It could suppress all Gold Cores below the Nascent Soul level.


    Regrettably, it was demolished during a battle against a powerful enemy, leaving only the remnants to be collected.


    [As the Master said, during the ancient peak period of the Longevity Sect, there were forty-nine wood dragons protecting under the seat of the Sect Hierarch. When these forty-nine wood dragons combined, they could form a Rank-5 Everlife Azure Dragon, which was the peak of puppetry. Unfortunately, I have no chance to see the layout of the Rank-5 Azure Dragon, which is a great pity]


    Chen Mobai found this remark at the end of the book on The Art of Longevity Puppetry, signed by Hun Yuan.


    This founder of the Five Elements Sect was a genius in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Puppetry, and Talisman Crafting. If it weren¡¯t for the excessive complexity in refining the Everlife Wood Dragon and the inability to procure the rarest of materials, the Five Elements Sect could still reign over the Eastern Wilderness with the wood dragon, even after Hun Yuan¡¯s passing.


    As for the Master referred to by Elder Hun Yuan, it should be the last Ascended Monk of the Tianhe Realm, True Monarch Yi Yuan.


    Chen Mobai, who wasn¡¯t initially interested in The Art of Longevity Puppetry, suddenly felt that he had been a bit too arrogant after reading it.


    The puppetry of the Tianhe Realm could be a source of learning, even if it was rough compared to the Immortal Sects because they had reached the peak in their own right.


    Thus, he sought out Lu Yi, the head of the Cultivation Technique Division, hoping to view the full version of ¡°The Art of Longevity Puppetry,¡± especially the layout of the ¡°Everlife Wood Dragon¡±.


    ¡°I can grant you the layout and inheritance of the Rank-3 Golden Sun Puppet, but all inheritances related to the Rank-4 Everlife Wood Dragon are with Elder Fu Zongjue. If you want to see them, you may need to find him.¡±


    Lu Yi had a good relationship with Chen Mobai. As he wrote the notes, he spoke honestly.


    Only the two elders are qualified to grasp the Everlife Wood Dragon, for it requires Everlife Wood as a material. The Divine Wood Sect only possesses three of them.


    And Fu Zongjue, who achieved Dao through puppetry, had naturally taken all the inheritances in this field.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you keep a backup in your Cultivation Technique Division?¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    Chen Mobai asked curiously, thinking about what if Elder Fu were lost in a magic duel and his storage bag was broken, wouldn¡¯t the Divine Wood Sect lose the Rank-4 inheritance of The Art of Longevity Puppetry!


    ¡°Now that you mention it, I remember there should be a backup in the Puppetry Division. You can go find An Jinghui.¡±


    After listening to Lu Yi¡¯s words, Chen Mobai headed to the Puppetry Division.


    An Jinghui was not there, but his disciple, Li Yixian, was. Thinking that Chen Mobai had come again to request puppet crafting, Li ran towards Chen to welcome him.


    ¡°I¡¯m looking for your master¡­¡±


    After Chen Mobai explained his purpose, Li Yixian looked a bit disappointed, but promptly went out to notify his master.


    ¡°Chen Junior, what a rare guest.¡±


    In a short while, An Jinghui arrived. After several interactions with Chen Mobai, they had become friends.


    After a brief conversation, Chen Mobai narrated his purpose.


    ¡°About this matter, as you know, the Rank-4 inheritances are very much the foundation and extremely precious to our sect. It is not that I don¡¯t trust you, but it would be prudent to inform Elder Fu and obtain his consent. Only then can I rightfully let you see it.¡±


    Upon hearing this, An Jinghui looked uneasy.


    It was only then that Chen Mobai realized that the Eastern Wilderness was not an Immortal Sect, which paid utmost importance to cultivation technique inheritances, and sometimes would rather let them fade into obscurity than risk imparting them rashly.


    Initially, he had thought that as a Golden Core Cultivator, Fu Zongjue shouldn¡¯t be disturbed over minor matters. Now it seemed that without the nod of the two elders, he really couldn¡¯t get access to Divine Wood Sect¡¯s inheritances above Rank-3.


    ¡°I was overbearing in this matter.¡±


    Once Chen Mobai realized this, he apologized to An Jinghui. Seeing that Chen understood the situation, An felt relieved, no longer needing to be stuck in a dilemma.


    After leaving the Puppetry Division, Chen didn¡¯t directly approach Fu Zongjue.


    Within the Divine Wood Sect, only the Sect Hierarch and Quan Shanlin from the Penalty Evil Hall could freely meet Fu Zongjue. He certainly wouldn¡¯t bother either of them over this matter.


    His curiosity about the layout of the Everlife Wood Dragon was merely roused after reading The Art of Longevity Puppetry, and it wasn¡¯t a must-have.


    Also, once he reached the Gold Core stage, all Divine Wood Sect inheritances would be revealed to him. There was no need to rush at this point.


    After returning to his courtyard, Chen Mobai called over Liu Wenbo.


    ¡°Go to Snow Country and arrange a time with Lan Lingping. Have our meeting in the White Moon Market. I would like to see her.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Yes, master!¡±


    Liu Wenbo had no hesitation and immediately left via the sect¡¯s Teleportation Array to carry out the task.


    This year, in the Grand Sect Competition, Zhuo Ming made rapid progress and entered the top one hundred. Unfortunately, due to a lack of experience in magic duels, he lost to a Qi practitioner of the same realm during the top 96 to 48 round.


    ¡°Good, progress is what matters. It shows that the direction of your hard work is correct.¡±


    Chen Mobai always praised and educated his disciples. His teaching style was totally different from the generally strict teachers in the Eastern Wilderness¨Cthis little difference made Zhuo Ming and the other two feel comfortable in Xiao Nanshan.

 Chapter 715 - Chapter 715: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_5

    Chapter 715: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_5


    In the environment of freedom and relaxation, they not only liberated their latent dispositions, but also consciously maintained the good tradition of mutual aid between themselves.


    As expected, after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Zhuo Ming, who was previously a little worried, let out a smile, completely relaxing her heart.


    After returning to Xiao Nanshan with his two new disciples, Chen Mobai took the time to pay a visit to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.


    He expertly touched the Talent Tree. He wasn¡¯t sure if the tree could sense his thoughts, but it started to send a massive amount of data, and this time it even gave him a blueprint called ¡°Purple Sun Puppet¡±.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s proficiency in Puppetry Technique, he could easily see that the Purple Sun Puppet was a part of The Art of Longevity Puppetry. The Hun Yuan ancestor might have received an incomplete version of the art and missed this puppet.


    The Purple Sun Puppet is a high grade Rank-3 puppet, positioned between the Golden Sun Puppet and the Everlife Wood Dragon. Most of the materials required for it come from the Golden Sun Spirit Wood, with a small part coming from the Longevity Spirit Wood.


    Once it was completed, it would possess immense power, enough to face off against cultivators in the middle and later stages of the Gold Core realm.


    After reading the blueprint, Chen Mobai believed it could be of great use to the Divine Wood Sect. If Fu Zongjue could craft this puppet, it could surely play a decisive role in the coming battle against the Shake Mountain.


    But, did Elder Fu have the ability to craft the Purple Sun Puppet?


    With the thought of offering the blueprint to the sect when he gets a chance, Chen Mobai visited the Devouring Heaven Serpent.


    This time, his Divine Sense realm had greatly improved. In just an instant, he locked onto the Little Black Snake hiding in the shadow of a leaf.


    After capturing it with his Spiritual Light hand, he noticed that its aura had grown to that of a Rank-2 Qi Cultivation realm. This seemed to be due to eating too many leaves; its originally pitch-black body was now turning azure black. However, its size remained the same, still very small. If one didn¡¯t look carefully, they might even mistake it for a large earthworm.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s expectations towards the Devouring Heaven Serpent were now completely different. He hoped it could condense a drop of Azure Dragon¡¯s Blood. Therefore, he fed it a piece of lower-grade Spirit Stone, and even used the Flame Lighting Technique to help it refine it.


    After feeding it three pieces of lower-grade Spirit Stones consecutively, and feeling the Spiritual Energy within the Devouring Heaven Serpent becoming full, Chen Mobai finally stopped. He happily returned it to the forest area he had dedicated for its cultivation.


    Then, he took out the Heavenly Calculation Bead kept nearby and started checking on his Spider Puppets.


    wuxiaworld.site


    Over the past year, through these Spider Puppets, Chen Mobai had found three Qingyang Spirit Trees in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, and because of it, he had thought of refining a Blue Sun Puppet for each of his three disciples.


    Recently, his luck seemed to be doing quite well. After checking the information within the Heavenly Calculation Bead, he found that one of his Spider Puppets had disappeared, which meant it had encountered another Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    Chen Mobai discerned the direction where the puppet had disappeared from the information in the bead, and promptly went there using the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape technique.


    Soon, he found a Qingyang Spirit Tree, that was nearly burnt to ashes, in an open charred land.


    Surprisingly, it was a Qingyang Spirit Tree that was in the process of evolving to Rank-3.


    Its robust branches, curled like dragons, had been turned into ashes by the burning, leaving only the thickest main trunk. But even this was being charred and fallen off piece by piece under the burning of the spiritual fire. If it was to continue burning, the trunk would disappear.


    If he was lucky, he would be left with seeds of Qingyang Fire.


    If he was not, he would end up with only a pile of black ashes.


    Chen Mobai remembered the scene where Mu Yuan had created Qingyang Fire Seeds. He could do it too.


    But for the current Chen Mobai, who had understood the crux of the Pure Yang Scroll, he could create Qingyang Fire at any time. It was no longer considered rare.


    Thus, a bold idea crossed his mind.


    Could he help this Qingyang Spirit Tree complete its evolution? If so, he would possess a Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Tree.


    But how could he help?


    Right now, there was definitely no time to search for information in the Divine Wood Sect, so he had to rely on his own understanding. He channeled his pure Longevity Spiritual Power into the tree trunk, hoping to help the Qingyang Spirit Tree survive the burning of the spiritual fire.


    However, he found that Longevity Spiritual Power didn¡¯t have much effect on the Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    But, the moment he touched the trunk, Chen Mobai¡¯s Divine Sense could feel the endless life force of the tree that was being ignited under the burning spiritual fire.


    It was thanks to his Fire Spirit Body that he could sense such fine details in the process of the spiritual fire¡¯s ignition.


    Speaking of life force, Chen Mobai remembered the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.


    As a last-ditch effort, he condensed the gentle Yi Wood Thunder Light using Longevity Spiritual Power, then carefully guided it into the burning Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    As expected, it had the desired effect.


    The Divine Thunder of life rejuvenated the weakening life force of the Qingyang Spirit Tree, prolonging its impending demise.


    However, it was only regretful that Chen Mobai discovered this Qingyang Spirit Tree too late. If he had been there at the start of its evolution and injected it with the Divine Thunder, he might have been able to help it complete its transformation.


    Seeing that all the bark had been burned away and that the trunk was about to be consumed by the Spirit Fire, a trace of regret appeared in Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes.


    However, even if it couldn¡¯t transform, he had a second way to save this peak Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Tree.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He invoked the ¡°Kindwood Mantra¡± he had acquired from the Talent Tree.


    He had also managed to practice this Spirit Plant Technique to Rank-2 this year, and it was perfect to turn this Qingyang Spirit Tree into a ¡°Tree Seed¡±.


    Compared to the conventional method of the Divine Wood Sect, Kindwood Mantra was much more convenient and simple.


    Chen Mobai speculated that the Tree Seed Technique of the sect might have evolved from this longevity cultivating technique for Spirit Plants.


    In no time, a verdant tree seed fell into his palm.

 Chapter 716 - Chapter 716: Chapter 429 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade_1

    Chapter 716: Chapter 429 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade_1


    After transforming the Qingyang Spirit Tree that had failed the tribulation into a seed, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction.


    During his last war with the Mountain Shaker Peak, he had used a Rank-2 tree seed, but unfortunately, it was the sect¡¯s asset, which he returned later.


    Although he mainly relies on Sword Dao in his magic duels, he had put a lot of effort into the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Immortality Scriptures as well and had always wanted his own Rank-2 tree seed.


    Now he finally got it.


    In fact, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect wanted a Qingyang tree seed, they could apply for it, but Chen Mobai didn¡¯t think it was worth spending his sect contribution and spirit stones, so he had put it off until now.


    He drew a Heavenly Wood Talisman on the spot and then deployed the iconic Domain Expansion of the Immortality Scriptures.


    The tree seed hit the ground, and a Qingyang Spirit Tree, much smaller than before it passed the tribulation, quickly took root and sprouted, enveloping Chen Mobai under its lush canopy.


    Chen Mobai used the Spirit Leaf Technique, Sky Tree Spirit Light Technique, and so on. In the dense, wood-spiritual-energy environment of the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he seemed to be the tree god controlling all the trees, picking leaves and flying flowers, his green light was like a sword.


    From a distance, half of the sky was covered in green spiritual light.


    After practicing all the spells in the Immortality Scriptures, Chen Mobai was satisfied and withdrew the Rank-2 tree seed.


    After all, it was a Qingyang Spirit Tree that triggered the spiritual fire to cross the tribulation. The grade of the resulting tree seed was very high.


    It will be very useful on the battlefield in the future for clearing out lower-realm cultivators.


    Chen Mobai also thought that after he completed Core Formation in the future and all his Immortality Spiritual Power was absorbed by the Pure Yang Scroll, this tree seed could also be given to his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo.


    After all, among his three disciples, only he had practiced the Immortality Scriptures.


    At this point, he received a message from the avatar of his No-Form puppet staying in Xiao Nanshan, Liu Wenbo was back.


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Chen Mobai had been thinking about going to the Big Dao Tree again, but he had to put it off for now.


    After all, Yan Bingxuan had told him that he should prepare for his first attempt at Foundation Establishment at the end of the holiday year. His kindness in helping him understand Ice Breath must be repaid.


    And the Big Dao Tree was right here, he could come anytime.


    With that thought, Chen Mobai buried the Heavenly Calculation Bead that controlled the spider puppets underground, and then had the remaining puppets search around this area for any Rank-2 or above Spirit Trees within a hundred miles.


    Over the past year, he had used the Spider Puppets to explore a range of three thousand kilometers in this Divine Tree Secret Realm and had found four Qingyang Spirit Trees.


    But for him now, Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Trees are not considered precious. It would be best if he could find a Golden Sun Spirit Tree, so he could refine the Rank-3 sword talisman recorded in the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    All Rank-3 talisman paper in the Eastern Wilderness is made from natural treasures, such as the leaves and bark of spirit trees, and the beast skins of demonic beasts.


    Chen Mobai could only produce Rank-2 jade talisman paper in the factory of the immortal gate, and the quality was quite average. So, if he wanted to use it here, the best course would be to adapt to local customs and use the spirit tree leaves to make talisman paper.


    In the war against the Mountain Shaker Peak, since the Divine Wood Sect was going to send him out as the main general, he was certainly going to seize the opportunity to secure some strategic resources.


    He didn¡¯t even need to bring it up. Chu Zuoshu indicated that soon, he would let the Spirit Treasure Pavilion list three Green Wood Evil talismans for Chen Mobai to practice three more Sword Sha to improve his combat power.


    Although Xie Yuntian was not very willing, he still knew the overall situation, especially since Chen Mobai had refined the Green Flames Sword Slaughter earlier than him, he obviously had more qualifications to refine the Green Wood Evil.


    If they followed the rules of the Eastern Wilderness, the sect could directly give the Green Wood Evil to Chen Mobai. The fact that Chu Zuoshu was willing to repeatedly negotiate with Xie Yuntian showed that he was already giving a lot of face to this head of the Sword Training Department.


    With Chen Mobai¡¯s current Divine Sense Realm, controlling seven Green Flames Sword Slaughters was more than enough.


    However, when he was engaged in a Magic Duel, he usually won within a few swords. These seven Sword Slaughters were a bit too much, so he was thinking about whether to refine one into a ¡°Green Flame Sword Talisman¡±.


    After all, it¡¯s a Rank-3 talisman. If he can refine it, then in the Eastern Wilderness, it means he¡¯s a Rank-3 Talisman Maker.


    When he returned to Xiao Nanshan, Liu Wenbo was already waiting outside the Cloud Mist Array.


    Chen Mobai put away the No-Form puppet and stepped out of the wooden house leisurely.


    ¡°Greetings, Master. Elder Lan Lingping from the Snow-blowing Palace is already waiting for you at the White Moon Market.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is she in such a hurry?¡±


    Chen Mobai was slightly surprised after hearing Liu Wenbo¡¯s words.


    Normally, he should be the one in a hurry, after all, as it stands, only the Snow-blowing Palace has the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal, practically a monopoly.


    But now it seems like Snow-blowing Palace values this meeting with him even more than he had thought.


    But this is also good news.


    The chances of a successful negotiation just got bigger.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    With Chu Zuoshu¡¯s command in hand, Chen Mobai no longer hid his intentions and brazenly took Liu Wenbo through the sect¡¯s teleportation array to the White Moon Market.


    ¡°Town Guard, long time no see.¡±


    Bai Dingxian, the head of the Bai family, who had already received the news, was waiting outside the teleportation array. Chen Mobai had become friends with him after a few trades and responded with a smile.


    ¡°Elder Lan is waiting for you at your South Mountain Shop. There are some matters at our tea mountain, so I won¡¯t accompany you.¡±


    However, Bai Dingxian seemed reluctant to get involved in the affairs of the Divine Wood Sect and the Snow-blowing Palace. He exchanged pleasantries with Chen Mobai for a while and informed him of Lan Lingping¡¯s location before hastily leaving.

 Chapter 717 - Chapter 717: Chapter 429 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade_2

    Chapter 717: Chapter 429 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade_2


    ¡°Wen Bo, you should learn from Bai Brother¡¯s steady style,¡±


    Chen Mobai looked appreciatively at Bai Dingxian¡¯s retreating figure. Such a person could survive well in the Eastern Wilderness, no wonder the Bai family under his leadership was gradually gaining the reputation of being the first family of Jian Country.


    White Moon Market was located at the far north of Jian Country, bordering Snow Country, and the Bai family¡¯s business extended there. Therefore, when Lan Lingping visited, Bai Dingxian had to greet her, as she was someone he couldn¡¯t afford to offend.


    However, after taking care of both sides, he promptly excused himself and withdrew, an action that Chen Mobai admired greatly.


    ¡°Outer gate disciple Lan Lingping pays her respects to Divine Wood Sect Elder Chen,¡±


    In the South Mountain Shop at White Moon Market, a beautiful woman in blue bowed to Chen Mobai.


    Behind her stood a female cultivator in a light blue dress, who appeared to be her disciple. Her face was veiled, so her features were not visible, but her eyes were as spectacular as a painting, her skin like snow, and her figure tall. She was likely another breathtaking beauty.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard a lot about Elder Lan; having seen you today, your charm is truly unmatched,¡±


    Lan Lingping was famous as a fairy in the Eastern Wilderness in her youth. Now, although she was a mature woman, she was even more attractive. However, Chen Mobai was not interested in such charms. After exchanging courtesies, he led them to the meeting room upstairs.


    As the Town Guard of Jian Country, the South Mountain Shop in White Moon Market occupies a prime location and is a three-story building.


    The third floor is the warehouse, the second floor is the meeting room, and the ground floor is the normal selling area.


    After Chen Mobai and Lan Lingping took their seats, Liu Wenbo skillfully began to brew tea. The veiled female cultivator kneeled to the side, listening attentively.


    ¡°I need the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal, Elder Lan, please name your price. What will it take to sell?¡±


    Chen Mobai was a candid man and spoke directly about the reason he had invited Lan Lingping.


    ¡°Please allow me to speak straightforwardly. This Cold Ice Condensing Crystal was obtained by our sect from the Snow Mountain Cold Pond. It is very useful for our cultivation in the Snow-blowing Palace, but it should not be of use to the Divine Wood Sect, Elder Chen. As a sword cultivator, why are you so obsessed with this item?¡±


    wuxiaworld.site wuxiaworld.site.co


    Lan Lingping didn¡¯t answer directly, but instead asked about her own doubts.


    ¡°Does this have anything to do with the trade?¡±


    Chen Mobai was puzzled, but Lan Lingping nodded solemnly, her face serious.


    ¡°Not to conceal, my mastery of the Red Flame Sword Jue has reached a high level, and the Red Flame Spirit Power has undergone a metamorphosis, becoming extremely fierce and fiery. I need to use cold attribute spiritual objects to balance it out, remove the dry heat, in order to continue making progress. After asking around, I found that your sect has the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal, which I seek,¡±


    Chen Mobai naturally wouldn¡¯t tell the truth, he recalled a television series about Grandmaster Yuan Yang that he had watched when he was young.


    This Divinity Transformation True Monarch¡¯s Pure Yang Spiritual Power had once encountered a great tribulation because it was too domineering. He was always unable to integrate his spirit into his Qi and form the Nascent Soul.


    Later, he used the portal to go to Taiyin Star, absorbed the Taiyin Profound Qi, neutralized the Pure Yang Spiritual Power, and was able to proceed to the Nascent Soul Formation stage.


    Chen Mobai slightly modified this and applied it to himself. He initially thought that the Snow-blowing Palace might not believe him, but found that Lan Lingping seemed enlightened after hearing his explanation.


    ¡°So that¡¯s it, I didn¡¯t expect Elder Chen to encounter this kind of problem,¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    Chen Mobai was puzzled after hearing these words. He just made it up on the spot.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this, our Snow-blowing Sect¡¯s practice of ¡®Ice Clearing Heaven Heart Method¡¯ allows us to cultivate Ice Spirit Power from the Water Spirit Root. However, if one does not possess a true Ice Spirit Root, the physical body will become rigid as one advances the cultivation,¡±


    Lan Lingping laughed and explained to Chen Mobai. This situation was exactly the opposite of his situation but achieved the same end results. While speaking, she signaled her veiled female disciple to approach and extend her hands hidden in her long sleeves.


    Chen Mobai saw her hands, as pale as snow and without any blood, as if the blood in her veins had lost their heat and had become light green.


    ¡°Xue Ting is an example. If she doesn¡¯t resort to absorbing the gentle Fire Spiritual Power every year, with the advancement of her cultivation level, her physical body will slowly become cold and lose sensation. This is the trade I want to discuss with Elder Chen,¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai shifted his gaze from Xue Ting¡¯s pale hands to Lan Lingping and had a vague understanding of why she had sought him out.


    ¡°Elder Lan, feel free to make your request!¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s words, Lan Lingping nodded. She then reached into her storage bag and took out a handful of substance which, when she opened her fingers, revealed Spirit Rice that lay on the tea table, shining like crystal jade but with a faint hint of scarlet.


    Chen Mobai was very familiar with this, it was the Fire Spirit Rice from their South Mountain Shop.


    ¡°Is this rice useful for you?¡±


    ¡°After Qi Cultivation disciples practice, eating a bowl of this rice revitalizes their blood and energy,¡±

    As Lan Lingping spoke, she took out a small rice pot. She put the Fire Spirit Rice from the tea table into the pot with water, and after a short while, there was a faint aroma of rice.


    The female cultivator named Xue Ting, in front of Chen Mobai, lowered her head and ate the cooked Fire Spirit Rice through her veil.


    In a short while, the pale hands of Xue Ting slowly became rosy, giving them a lifelike feel.


    ¡°I see, so it¡¯s only useful for Qi Cultivation disciples?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s already quite remarkable. For Foundation Establishment cultivators, they would wear a Thousand-year Warm Jade to activate their Qi and blood. Since there are not many people in this stage, every elder in our Snow-blowing Palace can have one,¡±

 Chapter 718 - Chapter 718: Chapter 429 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade_3

    Chapter 718: Chapter 429 Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade_3


    As Lan Lingping spoke, she reached into her neckline and pulled out a creamy white jade token. It was soft, delicate, and contained a warm vital energy.


    Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai¡¯s eyes twitched slightly.


    In the realm of the immortals, there existed a similar piece of Warm Jade. It was Taiyuan True Monarch¡¯s primary Magic Artifact and had existed for thousands of years alongside this Divinity Transformation True Monarch. It had already reached the lower rank of Rank-5 of Spiritual Treasures and could ward off inner demons and external threats. It was also the inherited Spiritual Treasure of all the past principals of the Primordial Elemental Academy.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t believe that every Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Snow-blowing Palace had a piece of Warm Jade.


    ¡°May I ask, how would you solve the problem of physical rigidity for Golden Core Cultivators?¡±


    ¡°Our Snow-blowing Palace has two pieces of Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai struggled to suppress the sudden rush of impulse. He tactically picked up his teacup, repressing his greedy rogue cultivator-like thoughts.


    The Warm Jade of Taiyuan True Monarch was essentially Ten-thousand-year Warm Jade.


    In other words, Snow-blowing Palace had two pieces of precious materials that could potentially be refined into lower-grade Rank-5 magical artifacts.


    No wonder there were so many rogue cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness; who could resist such temptation?


    ¡°Every year, we spend a lot of Spirit Stones on Back to Sky Valley to help us refine the FireTruth Pill. However, due to the scarcity of the main ingredient, the Fire Lotus, we can only ensure that the direct disciples and some outstanding disciples use it.¡±


    ¡°As a result, our Qi Cultivating disciples at the Snow-blowing Palace have been living very difficult lives. There have been many weak disciples who, after a night of meditation, never wake up again.¡±


    ¡°This year, Elder Chen¡¯s South Mountain Shop has opened in our Snow Country¡¯s Fang Market. One of our disciples purchased some Fire Spirit Rice and discovered its miraculous effects. Thus, I have boldly come to discuss this business venture.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai had managed to calm his restless heart and regain his composure.


    ¡°That¡¯s good news. However, the matter of Spirit Rice is inherently related to a cultivator¡¯s foundation. If it¡¯s a small quantity, I can decide myself. However, if you want to support all the disciples of your sect, I have to report to my sect leader.¡±


    wuxiaworld.site


    Lan Lingping also showed understanding. In the Eastern Wilderness, they still had some basic strategic thinking. If it was a large-scale transaction of Spirit Rice across sects, definitely there would need to be an agreement reached at the highest level of both sects.


    ¡°This is a win-win situation. Our Cold Ice Condensing Crystal can also help your sect¡¯s cultivators practicing the Red Flame Sword Jue to balance their yang energy. If Elder Chen is willing to supply Fire Spirit Rice to our Snow-blowing Palace, there will be benefits.¡±


    What Lan Lingping did not know was that the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal was just what Chen Mobai needed. However, seeing that the situation was favorable, he brought up the task that Chu Zuoshu had assigned him.


    ¡°If True Monarch Kong can guarantee to stay out of this matter, I can convince our sect leader and even the two elders to supply all our Fire Spirit Rice to your Snow-blowing Palace.¡±


    ¡°I¡­ I need to report this.¡±


    Chen Mobai made a gesture of invitation. Lan Lingping requested a quiet room. She somehow managed to communicate with Kong Lingling. After about a cup of tea¡¯s worth of time, she returned with a serious expression on her face.


    ¡°True Monarch Kong said she can agree, but on one condition.¡±


    ¡°Please go ahead.¡±


    ¡°Our Snow-blowing Palace needs your sect to hand over the seed of the Fire Spirit Rice along with the Method of Cultivating Spiritual Plants.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Lan Lingping said this with embarrassment on her face.


    Chen Mobai managed to keep a straight face, but Liu Wenbo on his side was already frowning. He was very aware of how much effort his master and junior sister had put into cultivating the Fire Spirit Rice.


    They had only planted the Fire Spirit Rice on South Mountain for three or four seasons, and now the Snow-blowing Palace wanted to take it away!


    Despite this, as a disciple, he couldn¡¯t overstep his boundaries since his master hadn¡¯t spoken.


    After Chen Mobai had pondered for a moment, he had already come up with an answer.

 Chapter 719 - Chapter 719: Chapter 430: Big Harvest_1

    Chapter 719: Chapter 430: Big Harvest_1


    ¡°I am inclined to trade with you on this matter.¡±


    After Chen Mobai said this, Lan Lingping was waiting for the key part of his sentence.


    ¡°However, after all, this involves Master Kong, I need to report this to the Sect Leader and even the two elders.¡±


    After hearing this, Lan Lingping naturally nodded. Once matters involved a Golden Core Cultivator, although both of them were considered in the upper ranks of their own sects, it was generally best if both elders personally reached an agreement, as this was more reliable.


    After all, there were too many instances of ruthlessness in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Elder Chen, I hope you can speak well for us to your sect¡¯s two elders. This gift is just a token of our goodwill, please accept it.¡±


    After the negotiation, Lan Lingping smiled as she took a jade box out of her storage bag and placed it on the tea table.


    Chen Mobai took it and opened it, feeling a bone-chilling cold gust. It was a light blue, fist-sized, partially translucent crystal.


    Without Lan Lingping¡¯s introduction, Chen Mobai already knew that this item was the ¡°Cold Ice Condensing Crystal¡± he was looking for.


    ¡°I will try my best to convince the Sect Leader and the two elders.¡±


    Chen Mobai accepted this gift with satisfaction and said so.


    In fact, the Fire Spirit Rice was his own Spirit Plant. Even if he agreed on the spot, the sect would not object. The main reason for his roundabout request was not only to respect the sect, but also to see if he could gain some more benefits from this.


    Lan Lingping obviously understood this, as she directly presented the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal, which made him extremely pleased.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait here for the good news from Elder Chen.¡±


    Chen Mobai instructed Liu Wenbo to stay with the two women, while he himself used the Teleportation Array to quickly return to Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡­


    ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯ve done a great job this time.¡±


    In the Shenmu Hall, Chu Zuoshu was pleasantly surprised after hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s report.


    The Fire Spirit Rice was just a common Spirit Plant in his view. If it could be exchanged for Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s non-interference, he would even be willing to give them the sect¡¯s secret Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.


    ¡°Some days ago, I made a breakthrough in my Cultivation Level and was once again teleported to the Divine Tree Secret Realm. I obtained a blueprint of a thing called Purple Sun Puppet on the Talent Tree. I thought it might be useful to elder Fu.¡±


    At this point, Chen Mobai gave Chu Zuoshu another big surprise.


    Although Chu Zuoshu was not proficient in Puppetry Technique, he was clear about the grading of puppets. Upon learning that the Purple Sun Puppet was actually Rank-3 high-grade, his face showed a shocked expression.


    ¡°Brother Chen, please wait a moment. I will inform the two elders immediately.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu took two talismans and bowed in the direction of the three Divine Woods. The talismans turned into a green smoke rising, and then condensed into the images of Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue.


    The two elders were recently both outside the sect negotiating alliances, but to prevent any incidents from happening at the sect¡¯s main base, Chu Zuoshu was able to contact them directly with these Mirage Scribing Talismans.


    After Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue heard Chu Zuoshu¡¯s report, their eyes sparkled brightly.


    ¡°Just wait a moment, I will send my Puppet Body over.¡±


    Upon hearing about the Purple Sun Puppet, the image of Fu Zongjue didn¡¯t keep up the pretense, and after a while, a green Escaping Light rose from an Everlife Wood and descended into the Shenmu Hall.


    This Puppet Body flew directly to Chen Mobai who immediately took out the finished, a detailed sketch of the Purple Sun Puppet from his storage bag. After Fu Zongjue inspected it, he looked delighted.


    ¡°Very good, very good. With this, I can upgrade my Puppet Body again. By that time, even if I have a one-on-one fight with Ji Zhenshi, I can truly put up a fight.¡±


    Laughing heartily, Fu Zongjue looked at Chen Mobai with very satisfied eyes, even came over and affectionately patted Chen Mobai¡¯s shoulder.


    However, because it was a Puppet Body, Chen Mobai felt its hand was rather stiff, and his shoulder felt slightly painful.


    ¡°Reporting to the two elders, besides this, there is also the matter of the Snow-blowing Palace, which I need to report to you¡­¡±


    At this time, Chu Zuoshu also came over and reported the second piece of good news to Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue. Upon hearing this, the two laughed uproariously. With all these good things happening at the same time, it seemed as if heaven was on the side of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Fu Zongjue said, ¡°It just so happens that I have a Puppet Body lurking in Rock Country, I¡¯ll run to Snow Country and meet with Kong Lingling.¡±


    Concerning the war of the sects, only the promises and vows between the Golden Core Cultivators could gain the trust of both parties.


    After Chen Mobai and Lan Lingping finished their conversation, they already understood this. Hence, they asked to report back to the sect.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°Two elders, how should we reward Brother Chen for his two major contributions?¡±


    At this time, Chu Zuoshu was seeking merit for Chen Mobai, as the latter was his direct disciple.


    ¡°The Purple Sun Puppet is very important to me, but to play a reversal role in the war, only the four of us can know about it. Here¡¯s what we¡¯ll do, I¡¯ll personally give Nephew Chen 100,000 Spirit Stones, and after the Purple Sun Puppet is revealed, award him another 100,000 contribution points in the name of the sect and announce his merit. Brother, what do you think?¡±


    Fu Zongjue had always had a high regard for Chen Mobai. Now, through him, he had gained the Purple Sun Puppet, which made him even more pleased. He promptly gave a huge reward.


    ¡°Good point. While the Snow-blowing Palace matter may not be as impactful as the Purple Sun Puppet, it is still a considerable achievement. Since we can¡¯t award contribution points for now to avoid letting outsiders lurking within the sect catch wind of it, I will use something else as a substitute.¡±

 Chapter 720 - Chapter 720: Chapter 430 Great Harvest_2

    Chapter 720: Chapter 430 Great Harvest_2


    Zhou Shengqing nodded his head, agreeing with Fu Zongjue¡¯s decision, and then had the latter¡¯s puppet body run to his Everlife Wood and bring back a wooden box.


    Chen Mobai took the box and opened it to find a book and a golden talisman within. The talisman carried spiritual patterns that resembled flames and shimmered with a dazzling golden light that was blinding to look directly at it.


    ¡°This is the Golden Flame Sword Talisman, a rank-3 top-level protective talisman given to me by my master Hun Yuan. If a Golden Core cultivator were to receive a hit from it without proper protection, they may be severely injured or even perish.¡±


    ¡°I originally had five of these, but have used four over the past century. The Golden Core cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness are now largely aware that I have this tool, so they are all on their guard. This last one is not much use to me anymore, so I¡¯ll give it to you.¡±


    ¡°The book is the Red Flame Sword Jue, personally annotated by my master. It can be practiced to the realm of Perfect Core Formation. It also includes his insights into the construction of sword talismans from rank-1 to rank-4, so I¡¯ll give this to you too.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chu Zuoshu, who was on the side, inevitably showed a shocked expression on his face.


    In the Eastern Wilderness, giving a junior the items bestowed upon oneself by one¡¯s master signified accepting the junior as their own disciple¨Cand not just any disciple, but one from the closest and most legitimate line.


    Unfortunately, Chen Mobai was not familiar with the customs of the Eastern Wilderness. If it were any other Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect, they would have bowed to Zhou Shengqing by now.


    Regret showed on Fu Zongjue¡¯s face. He also wanted this disciple, but having already accepted Hong He as a disciple earlier, he didn¡¯t feel it was right to compete with Zhou Shengqing now.


    Yet, to his surprise, despite happily accepting the wooden box, Chen Mobai did not pay homage to his potential master.


    ¡°As for the matter of the Fire Spirit Rice, you can handle it entirely. However, we need to curry favor with the Snow-blowing Palace recently, so give them some discounts appropriately.¡±


    Zhou Shengqing was slightly disappointed seeing that Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t prostrated, but he was someone who had seen a lot of storms in his life. He soon composed himself and began to issue instructions.


    The recent grand strategy of the Divine Wood Sect was to take down Ji Zhenshi, annex the Mountain Shaker Peak. For this cause, everything else could be compromised.


    Having received such great benefits, Chen Mobai naturally had no objections and nodded enthusiastically.


    At this moment, Fu Zongjue gave him ten more top-grade spirit stones, which made Chen Mobai overjoyed, as this meant he had enough top-grade spirit stones to feed the Purple Electric Sword for a long time.


    ¡°Respected Elder Fu, there¡¯s actually another matter¡­¡±


    Before leaving, Chen Mobai seized the opportunity to bring up the Art of Longevity Puppetry, expressing his desire to see the blueprint of the Rank-4 Longevity Dragon puppet.


    ¡°These are my insights into puppetry, involving blueprints for puppets from Rank-1 to Rank-4. However, despite your extraordinary talent, the blueprint for the Rank-4 Little Azure Dragon is too complex. With your current realm, it¡¯s better not to waste your energy on it.¡±


    Hearing his request, Fu Zongjue, who now found Chen Mobai to be particularly pleasing to the eye, did not hesitate to give him the insights on puppetry he had compiled over the years.


    ¡°Many thanks, Elder Fu. I was just curious.¡±


    Having received more than what he wanted, Chen Mobai left the Shenmu Hall with deep satisfaction. Afterwards, he swiftly proceeded to the White Moon Market via the teleportation array.


    ¡°Elder Lan, it¡¯s done.¡±


    Upon his return, Chen Mobai did not leave Lan Lingping in suspense and directly relayed the good news. Lan Lingping looked delighted upon hearing it.


    ¡°This year, I have 1500 stones of Fire Spirit Rice on Xiao Nanshan. Elder Lan, if you need it, I can sell it to you at market price.¡±


    ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll immediately arrange for someone from the sect to come and pick up the goods.¡±


    The two first settled this transaction. Being committed to long-term business based on honesty and integrity, Chen Mobai only charged Lan Lingping 15,000 spirit stones.


    He inquired if there was the possibility of trading using top-grade spirit stones, to which she responded with a wry smile. The Snow-blowing Palace¡¯s top-grade spirit stones were all in Elder Kong¡¯s hands, leaving her only with the ability to mobilize middle-grade spirit stones.


    That was also fine. After all, if Chen Mobai wanted to practice the ¡°Six Solar Body¡±, he still needed 600 middle-grade spirit stones.


    The 300 middle-grade spirit stones from before had already burned through all of his savings accumulated over the past years.


    Now, the only spirit stones he had left were the top-grade ones.


    However, it is the end of the year, and the runes sold by the South Mountain Shop within the Divine Wood Sect are about to be settled. According to last year¡¯s income, there should be approximately 400 intermediate-grade Spirit Stones coming in.


    Together with the 150 intermediate grade Spirit Stones obtained from selling the Fire Spirit Rice to the Snow-blowing Palace, as well as the contributions exchanged half a year ago from selling to the Body Forging Department, they would be enough to accumulate the Spirit Stones required for the Six Yang body.


    ¡°Here is the method for cultivating Fire Spirit Rice. However, this kind of Spirit Rice cannot stand cold and harsh environments. Therefore, you would still need to find a suitable Spirit Field within the territories of the two countries under your Snow-blowing Palace for planting.¡±


    After receiving the Spirit Stones, Chen Mobai took out a pen and paper on the spot, wrote down all the crucial points for planting Fire Spirit Rice, and reminded them as he wrote.


    After receiving the paper covered with writing by Chen Mobai, Lan Lingping was full of admiration for this young man who, though could make his mark on the Eastern Wilderness with his sword talent, was instead infatuated with agriculture.


    The Divine Wood Sect is truly fortunate to have been able to recruit such a disciple.


    ¡°Elder Chen, my disciple, Xue Ting, has a great talent for spiritual plants. Why don¡¯t we have her learn from you? When we plant next spring, she can gain some practical experience with you. As I¡¯m planning to arrange for the disciples in the palace to open up a Spirit Field for planting Fire Spirit Rice, the formal planting will have to wait for half a year. The timing would be just right.¡±


    After the trade talk, Lan Lingping suddenly made a suggestion. The veiled female cultivator sitting by the side, who seemed to have known about this, turned around and bowed to Chen Mobai after hearing it.


    ¡°This¡­ ¡±


    Chen Mobai looked at the Qi Cultivation female cultivator who bowed deeply to him, highlighting her back and waist curves, and hesitated.


    There were many kinds of hybrid spiritual rice in his South Mountain shop, which were the fruits of his and Zhuo Ming¡¯s labor.


    However, after thinking it over, since he possessed the core technology, he had no fear of the seeds being stolen.


    Furthermore, after Chen Mobai¡¯s arrival in the Eastern Wilderness, he had always harbored a small wish in his heart.


    That was to unify the Eastern Wilderness one day and transform it into a small Immortal sect where everyone has access to Spirit Rice and the opportunity to cultivate immortality.


    If this female cultivator named Xue Ting truly has the talent for spiritual plants and can learn his agricultural knowledge, it would be a good thing for Chen Mobai¡¯s future wish.


    ¡°Alright, let her coordinate with Wenbo on the transportation of these 1500 catties of Fire Spirit Rice first. When this matter is settled, she can come to the South Mountain with Wenbo, and I will make arrangements then.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, while Liu Wenbo, sitting on the side, immediately agreed. Xue Ting, who had been kneeling and paying respects the whole time, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and got up to thank them after hearing his words.


    ¡°Chen Uncle-Master, Brother Liu, please do not hesitate to instruct us in the future.¡±


    This was the first time the two teachers heard Xue Ting speak. Her voice was serene, and it was as if there was a sweet scent of osmanthus and the white pear flower as she spoke.


    After completing the transaction, Chen Mobai exchanged a few words with Lan Lingping, then left.


    Upon his return to South Mountain, he immediately summoned his two disciples and told them about selling all the Fire Spirit Rice in the warehouse to the Snow-blowing Palace.


    ¡°That¡¯s great, I was thinking we¡¯d have to distill all this Spirit Rice into wine¡­¡±


    Zhuo Ming breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this; Spirit Rice couldn¡¯t be stored for long, so she had planned to hire some people from the Alchemy Department to help in the next few days.


    ¡°Master is incredible, even solving this big problem in just one trip.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Luo Yixuan expressed her admiration after hearing the news.


    ¡°This 1500 catties of Spirit Rice is too much to transport by storage bag. Therefore, we need to use Spirit Beasts to carry it to the White Moon Market. There, your senior brother will hand them over to the people from Snow-blowing Palace.¡±


    Chen Mobai explained the details of his trade talks with Lan Lingping. Transportation is a major cost in large transactions, especially in the Eastern Wilderness where there are no vehicles; they could only use Spirit Beasts, making it even more so.


    ¡°Master, my family, the Luo clan, has fifty Spirit Camels, twenty of which frequently travel between Jian Country and Yun Country. If you write a letter, I can take it to the patriarch of the Luo family. He dare not disobey you, so I could guarantee to requisition those twenty camels.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan¡¯s eyes lit up, and she immediately began to strategize.

 Chapter 721 - Chapter 721: Chapter 431: Nature Studies Academy (7k)_1

    Chapter 721: Chapter 431: Nature Studies Academy (7k)_1


    Chen Mobai naturally understood what his little disciple wanted to do. However, he also knew that everyone enjoys returning to their hometown in prosperity. So, as she wished, he wrote a letter, intending to rent the Spirit Camels of the Luo family for the transport of Fire Spirit Rice.


    ¡°We should have some spirit beasts suitable for cargo transport in our sect. Before you go to the Luo family, come with me to the Shenmu Hall. Since this is for the benefit of the sect, let¡¯s save some Spirit Stones under the Sect Leader¡¯s command.¡±


    After instructing Zhuo Ming to go down the mountain and organize the Spirit Rice in the warehouse, Chen Mobai took Luo Yixuan to meet Chu Zuoshu. The latter, upon hearing the matter, did not hesitate but directly called for Ma Wuniang, the head of the Spirit Beasts Division.


    ¡°The sect is trading a large quantity of Spirit Rice with the Snow-blowing Palace. Due to the large volume of goods, we need to gather some spirit beasts for transportation. You can negotiate the details with Brother Chen.¡±


    After Chu Zuoshu gave his order in the name of the Sect Leader, Ma Wuniang frowned slightly but nodded obediently.


    ¡°Brother Chen, the sect uses Spirit Beasts known as Deer Horses for transportation. There are probably more than a dozen we can currently assign. I need to check with the disciples in charge to get an exact number.¡±


    Ma Wuniang, as one of the twelve division leaders, had a basic understanding of the situation. When she learned that the sect was about to start a war with the Shake Mountain and suddenly needed to transport a large amount of Spirit Rice to the Snow-Blowing Palace, she roughly understood the reasons. Therefore, she immediately took Chen Mobai and his disciple to inspect the Deer Horses.


    This spirit beast, in the form of a horse, had a white head, tiger-like patterns all over its body, and a red tail. Although it couldn¡¯t carry as much weight as the Spirit Camel of the Luo family, it was extremely fast and could travel thousands of miles in a day.


    After inspecting, Ma Wuniang found that there were sixteen Deer Horses in the sect in total. However, two of them had been overworked during the last trip and were still in recovery.


    Chen Mobai let Luo Yixuan handle this matter with the disciple in charge of the Deer Horses from the Spirit Beasts Division. He then thanked Ma Wuniang and took his leave.


    After delegating the matter of the Fire Spirit Rice to his three disciples, Chen Mobai returned to his Celestial Gate.


    Next, he skillfully made a phone call to Yan Bingxuan.


    Chen Mobai: [Where are you?]


    Yan Bingxuan: [I¡¯m at school, waiting for the Snow Spirit Water to arrive so I can start my Foundation Establishment.]


    Chen Mobai: [I have a friend in the Extreme North Heavenly Realm. Thanks to him, I managed to buy a Rank-2 Water Mist Ice Crystal.]


    Upon hearing these words, Yan Bingxuan on the other end of the phone, hesitated a little and asked in disbelief: [Is this¡­for me?]


    Chen Mobai: [Who else would I give it to? I don¡¯t need it.]


    This wasn¡¯t entirely true. For the Red Misty Cloud Silk to upgrade to the Taiyi Five Cloud Silk, Water Mist Ice Crystal was also needed. However, Chen Mobai felt that saying this would make him appear noble, showing that he was willing to sacrifice for his friends.


    After hearing this, Yan Bingxuan was stunned. A feeling she had never experienced before filled her entire being.


    After a long silence, she stuttered in a grateful tone on the other end of the phone: [Thank you. This item requires a lot of Good Deed Points, I will find a way to give them to you.]


    [There is no need to be so formal between us. I¡¯ll send you the item first for you to see if you can use it.]


    After saying this, Chen Mobai asked Yan Bingxuan for the address of the Natural Studies Academy, which was next to the White Stone Heavenly Realm and on the south side of the Rongcheng Heavenly Realm.


    After all, this Cold Ice Condensing Crystal was from the Tianhe Realm. He wasn¡¯t sure if it would be the same as the Water Mist Ice Crystal from the Celestial Gate, so it was better to have Yan Bingxuan, the user, verify it personally.


    Before leaving Crimson Mountain, he looked up to see the lights on in Meng Huang¡¯s villa on the top of the mountain. He was tempted to go there for a meal, but after thinking about it, realized that he might not be able to leave for the night, so he booked a flight to Rongcheng Heavenly Realm overnight.


    By the time he got off the plane, it was already late at night.


    Chen Mobai traveled light, carrying only a small bag. Of course, he had a storage bag in his backpack, which was filled with various items.


    Following Yan Bingxuan¡¯s instructions, he arrived at the pickup point.


    From a distance, Chen Mobai saw Yan Bingxuan waiting for him at the entrance, wearing a hat. Even among the crowd, she was still very conspicuous.


    Her delicate features, smooth skin, even just standing there, she was a beautiful and cool sight to behold.


    Their eyes met, and both parties smiled faintly at each other and walked toward each other.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Long time no see.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan: ¡°It¡¯s been almost two years since we last saw each other.¡±


    Chen Mobai did not expect Yan Bingxuan, the beautiful woman, to remember the exact time of their last parting. But hearing her say this, he was inexplicably elated.


    ¡°Here.¡±


    He immediately took out the Jade Box containing the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal from his bag and handed it to Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°Thank you. Let¡¯s go have dinner.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan took it without checking, thanked him solemnly, and put it into her small white handbag.


    The two of them walked side by side to a grilled fish restaurant.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°The food here is decent.¡±


    After Yan Bingxuan sat down, she took off her hat. Her soft, black hair cascaded over her shoulders, instantly softening her normally cold demeanor.


    ¡°Check the item. In case it doesn¡¯t meet your requirements.¡±


    After ordering the dishes, Chen Mobai once again reminded her.


    Yan Bingxuan nodded, took the Jade Box out of her bag, opened it, and the bone-chilling cold made her expression slightly excited. She extended a finger to touch the crystal. The originally fair face suddenly radiated a touch of white light, resembling white jade.

    Chapter 722: 431


    ¡°The quality is exceptional. Even amongst Rank-2 items, it¡¯s among the finest. This is a bit of a waste for me,¡±


    Hearing Yan Bingxuan¡¯s words, Chen Mobai¡¯s mind was put at ease.


    It seems that the Snow-blowing Palace has truthfully cherished a favourable affinity with him, and the gift they had given did not embarrass him in front of his old classmates.


    ¡°Does it have any impact on your Foundation Establishment?¡±


    Still, Chen Mobai was somewhat worried. He was afraid that the supreme quality of the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal would adversely affect Yan Bingxuan. After all, for Qi Practitioners, a lower-grade Rank-2 item would be the most appropriate.


    ¡°It¡¯s not a problem. The Ice-Water Spirit Qi contained within this Water Mist Ice Crystal is very stable. I can extract as much as I need. If the quality is high, the success rate of my Foundation Establishment will be even greater,¡±


    Yan Bingxuan said, her smile at that moment was so astonishing that it took Chen Mobai by surprise. After all, ever since his old classmate had transformed into an Ice Spirit Root, she had maintained the demeanor of an icy beauty. Rarely did she ever smile in his presence.


    This time, her smile radiated from within; her lips slightly upturned, and her eyes squinted, bestowing her with a radiant glow, just like the warm sunshine on a winter¡¯s day, full of brilliance yet gentle.


    ¡°Then let me congratulate you in advance on your Foundation Establishment.¡±


    Upon hearing her words, Chen Mobai was delighted and raised a toast to her.


    Yan Bingxuan nodded lightly before drinking, then she stared directly at Chen Mobai.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Chen Mobai thought that she had something to say and asked.


    ¡°This Rank-2 high-grade Water Mist Ice Crystal is worth tens of millions of Good Deed Points in the Immortal Sect. I might not be able to repay this debt for a while,¡±


    Yan Bingxuan said with a serious face, which surprised Chen Mobai. He hadn¡¯t expected that she was still pondering over this and he shook his head.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already told you, establishing your foundation is the most important thing right now. Tens of millions of Good Deed Points might sound like a lot for Qi Practitioners, but once you have established your foundation, you¡¯ll find that a few years of hard work will let you earn that amount.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yan Bingxuan asked again, ¡°What if I fail to establish my foundation?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, you¡¯re sure to succeed.¡±


    Chen Mobai indeed believed that with her talent and resilience, establishing a foundation wouldn¡¯t be a challenge for her.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take your auspicious words, and for the sake of repaying the Good Deed Points for this Water Mist Ice Crystal, I will definitely succeed in establishing my foundation,¡±


    Yan Bingxuan also felt that her previous words were a tad inauspicious and nodded lightly with an apologetic expression.


    ¡°Even if you don¡¯t succeed in establishing your foundation this time, don¡¯t you still have another year left? I will help you get this Water Mist Ice Crystal, as long as you hold onto this firm belief for another year.¡±


    Chen Mobai really hoped that Yan Bingxuan could succeed in her foundation establishment. After all, if it weren¡¯t for her guidance in his early days of acquiring the Cold Ice Technique, he might not have been able to stand out in the entry examination and gain entrance to the Dance Tool Daoist Academy.


    In fact, her key assistance prompted his rise to success.


    Furthermore, the two of them had known each other for over ten years, starting from their high school days; she was the friend he felt closest to among the friends he was still in contact with.


    So as long as Yan Bingxuan doesn¡¯t give up before graduation, Chen Mobai will lend a helping hand.


    ¡°I can probably find a way to work and save up enough to repay you for one of these, but if I needed two and failed in my foundation establishment, I¡¯m afraid I really won¡¯t be able to repay you,¡±


    Yan Bingxuan said, with a slightly furrowed brow.


    Just as Chen Mobai was about to reassure her to focus on her foundation establishment, she suddenly became serious again and said, ¡°What if I can¡¯t repay you, would you accept me offering myself to you?¡±


    ¡°Cough, cough, cough¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but break into a violent coughing fit, and it took a while for him to recover.


    With a giggle, Yan Bingxuan suddenly burst into laughter.


    Only then did Chen Mobai realize that she was joking, and he couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    He had been wondering how he could decline.


    ¡°Looking at your reaction, it seemed like you were a bit reluctant,¡±


    In front of Chen Mobai, Yan Bingxuan had completely set her usual cool demeanor aside, revealing her genuine adorable nature.


    ¡°Not at all, it¡¯s just that it was quite sudden, and I was a bit caught off guard,¡±


    There¡¯s no way Chen Mobai would admit that he was reluctant, so he simply worded his reply delicately.


    ¡°But given your kindness towards me, it¡¯s easy for me to misunderstand. I initially thought that you might be interested in me,¡±


    Yan Bingxuan was remarkably straightforward today compared to her usual reticence, which was a dramatic adjustment for Chen Mobai, accustomed as he was to her calm and silent demeanor.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have many friends. If you also fail in your foundation establishment, I wouldn¡¯t know who to reminisce about our youthful days with years from now,¡±


    Chen Mobai said, a rare moment of genuine expression.


    At the beginning of the year, Song Zheng attempted to establish his foundation without comprehending the boundary laws, and failed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Mo Simin, Shi Jingjing, Xu Yuan, and other high school classmates also subsequently followed suit and failed in their foundation establishment.


    Only Shi Yuanqing managed to make steady headway under the assurance of the boundary laws, and finally succeeded in establishing her foundation half a year ago.


    Out of the entire class at the Immortal High School No. 5, only Chen Mobai, Cao Yaling, and Shi Yuanqing managed to become true cultivators establishing their foundations. This excited the principal so much that portraits of the three were hung in the school corridor. Even banners praising their accomplishments remained hanging, full of pride.


    Although Chen Mobai was also friends with other high school classmates, his feelings for them were certainly not as deep as they were for his fellow students and classmates.


    After Song Zheng failed his foundation establishment, Chen Mobai called to soothe his disappointment. Yet, he found that the once confident and proud classmate no longer had the same vigor of his youth.

 Chapter 723 - Chapter 723: Chapter 431 Nature Studies Academy (7k)_3

    Chapter 723: Chapter 431 Nature Studies Academy (7k)_3


    As for the class president, Mo Simin, let¡¯s not even mention it, she had already decided to give up after failing at the Foundation Establishment and is planning to find someone to marry to avoid compulsory military service.


    If Yan Bingxuan fails again, it would also be a significant blow to Chen Mobai.


    There¡¯s a feeling of ¡°Between heaven and earth, suddenly like a remote traveler¡±.


    Although with his growing cultivation level, his lifespan is getting longer. Even if it is inevitable, Chen Mobai still hopes to be able to find friends of similar age to chat and gossip during his lifetime.


    ¡°Based on your words, I¡¯ll not only succeed in Foundation Establishment, but will also continuously improve my cultivation level and live as long as you.¡±


    Yan Bing Xuan said this with the most serious tone she had ever used in her life.


    ¡°Then, I look forward to it. I hope you will still be by my side at the end of my way.¡±


    Seeing Yan Bingxuan¡¯s seriousness, Chen Mobai also sincerely responded.


    But in his heart, he felt that this was an impossible thing. After all, he had resources and knowledge from two realms; he had a lot of hope for Core Formation and a slight possibility for ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    Given Yan Bingxuan¡¯s qualifications, the probability of Foundation Establishment was not low, but in the case of Core Formation, even the stunning Yan Qiongzhi just barely passed. If she follows the path of Yan Qiongzhi, Chen Mobai guesses the farthest she can go would probably be at the Perfecting stage of Foundation Establishment.


    But in his heart, Chen Mobai was very excited at the possibility of Yan Bingxuan¡¯s companion on his future cultivation path.


    Everyone is gregarious, and cultivators are no exception.


    Chen Mobai does not want to be alone in the future.


    After the two finished their late-night snack, they hung out in this Yongcheng Cave and talked about various topics.


    Chen Mobai talked about some interesting things that happened to him in the Daoist Academy and Yan Bingxuan asked about her various doubts about Foundation Establishment. In the end, she even brought up the topic of the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°It was just good luck. My swordsmanship talent is okay, which made the Purple Electric Sword choose me.¡±


    In front of familiar faces, Chen Mobai was quite humble.


    ¡°My teacher told me that you have the Qualification of Deification, so you were able to suppress those three Gold Core cultivators. But why were you lazy before the third year of high school? If you had shown your talent earlier, you might have been able to directly establish your foundation and get directly admitted to the Four Great Daoist Academy before the final exams.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan¡¯s words made Chen Mobai quite embarrassed. Obviously, she believed the words boasted by those media outlets and thought that Chen Mobai was simply unwilling to make progress before high school, rather than already trying his hardest and only managing mediocre results.


    ¡°Since you know that I have the Qualification of Deification, do you still have the confidence to keep up with me?¡±


    ¡°I will do my best to keep up with you.¡± Yan Bingxuan answered seriously.


    As the two of them chatted, the sky was almost bright without them realizing it.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you take me around your school?¡±


    Originally, Chen Mobai planned to return to the Crimson City right after delivering the items, but he thought of Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s invitation and figured it would be better to visit Nature Studies Academy, just to see the traces left by Purple Lightning Qingshuang¡¯s previous master.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, the teacher has been waiting for you to come over.¡±


    Yan Bingxuan, with Chen Mobai, boarded a bus, and the terminal was Nature Studies Academy.


    It¡¯s a wetland lake between nine peaks. The Academy is located on the edge of the lake at the foot of the mountain. It has a beautiful view and all kinds of vegetation, fresh flowers, mudflats, insects, birds, and planktons, etc.


    Compared with the Ten Thousand Waters of Jumang Daoist Academy, it¡¯s like a little copy of the whole natural world, almost all of the surface features on Earth Star can be found here. Although not majestic, it¡¯s very beautiful.


    This is ¡°nature¡±.


    Upon coming here, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but have this word emerge in his mind.


    Indeed, it¡¯s better to see for oneself than to hear from others. Even though he had seen the promotional videos and photos of Nature Studies Academy online multiple times, he was still very shocked when he came in person. He had a sense of satisfaction that made the trip worthwhile.


    The entrance to Nature Studies Academy is a big wooden archway with two smaller archways lined up on the side. A beautiful woman was already waiting there.


    ¡°Greetings to Yan the Daoist. Don¡¯t bother yourself. Bingxuan can accompany me.¡±


    Chen Mobai had not been filled with arrogance by the propaganda of the media from various celestial sects; he had a clear understanding of himself and had utmost respect for Gold Core cultivators. Seeing Yan Qiongzhi waiting for him, he quickly approached and exchanged greetings politely.


    ¡°To enter the Mirror House, you need a Gold Core cultivator from our Academy. Since you¡¯ve come here as the master of the Purple Electric Sword, I should certainly take you there.¡±


    The Mirror House is where Qing Shi Upper and Qin Jing Upper lived and meditated. In fact, it was not originally part of Nature Studies Academy, but after these two Overseers ascended, it was included.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Nature Studies Academy is surrounded by nine graceful Spirit Mountains, among which one is called Huagai Mountain. From the archway, it is named for the cap-like appearance of the mountaintop.


    But the mountain is not high, it¡¯s even less than hundred meters. The Mirror House is located on the mountainside, a simple house built with stones and wood.


    This is also considered as a historical site visit. Chen Mobai followed Yan Qiongzhi very carefully, cautiously stepping onto the stone path and entering the courtyard.


    ¡°That rock groove was made when the Qing Jing elder dropped the Qing Shuang Sword and split it.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi pointed to a stone groove in front of the courtyard that resembled an inkstone, very simple and square, introducing Chen Mobai.

 Chapter 724 - Chapter 724: Chapter 431: Nature Studies Academy (7k)_4

    Chapter 724: Chapter 431: Nature Studies Academy (7k)_4


    Chen Mobai approached and before he even got close, he felt a chilling sword intent that made his hairs stand on end.


    At the top of the mountain, there seemed to be a spring. Tiny streams fell from above, one by one, into this stone gap. No matter how much water poured in, the stone gap was only seven-tenths full. The rest turned into cool mist that dispersed into the air.


    ¡°This is one of the sword intents left by Master Qing Jing. There are two more on her farmland and one on her clothesline. The remaining nine are inside the Mirror House.¡±


    ¡°Is there none from Master Qing Shi?¡± Chen Mobai asked curiously after Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s introduction.


    ¡°There is, but only one, on the door of the wooden house.¡±


    As Yan Qiongzhi spoke, she led Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan towards the Mirror House. She pulled out a key in the shape of a small sword. As the wooden door opened, a stern sword intent as majestic as a mountain range and as vast as the stars slowly dissipated.


    Chen Mobai stood at the door, staring blankly at the wooden door for a long time.


    Yan Bingxuan looked puzzled and was about to speak when Yan Qiongzhi stopped her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t disturb him. With his unparalleled talent, he might make some realizations.¡±


    But in reality, the Purple Electric Sword in his storage bag was sensing its old master¡¯s presence and was sending a ripple of restlessness to Chen Mobai, wanting to come out and take a look.


    However, in order not to expose his storage bag, Chen Mobai could only reassure it, saying that it would have to wait a while.


    Fortunately, the Purple Electric Sword, which was usually steeped sufficiently in Spirit Stones, was very obedient and stopped at the sound of his words.


    ¡°Sorry, I just had a minor revelation and lost track of time.¡±


    Regaining his consciousness, Chen Mobai had to use this as an excuse. With a modest expression, he addressed Yan Qiongzhi and Yan Bingxuan, who were waiting for him. Their faces displayed an understanding look.


    ¡°This place mainly has more sword marks and sword intents left by Master Qing Jing and only one from Master Qing Shi on the door.¡±


    Upon entering the Mirror House, Chen Mobai saw extremely modern furnishings, all kinds of home appliances and furniture, and even a spacious Cultivation Room with two floor cushions. Just in this place, Master Qing Jing had left four sword intents.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s aptitude was average. Although he could sense the chilling and profound sword intent, he couldn¡¯t comprehend it on a deeper level.


    ¡°May I stay here for a day?¡±


    However, he still had to keep up appearances, especially to maintain his reputation as a peerless Sword Cultivation genius.


    ¡°Yes, you can stay as long as you wish. I will apply for the handwritten copy of the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book from the library and have Bingxuan deliver it to you later.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi¡¯s words left Chen Mobai speechless. Unknowingly, he had gained a small amount of fame within the Immortal Sect, to the extent that he could receive such treatment in Nature Studies Academy.


    After thanking her, Yan Qiongzhi and Yan Bingxuan left so as not to disturb his contemplation of sword marks and intents. They left Huagai Mountain.


    After watching the too ladies leave, Chen Mobai took the Purple Electric Sword out of his storage bag.


    [I didn¡¯t expect to be able to return here.]


    The Purple Electric Sword was obviously familiar with this place. It turned into a purple glow and circled the Mirror House once before landing in front of the wooden house door. It trembled slightly as it faced the sword mark left by Master Qing Shi¨Cjust like it was weeping.


    ¡°Is this the place where the two masters cultivated?¡±


    [It can be counted as such, but they were here mostly to enjoy the pastoral life of rising with the sun and retiring with sunset. Initially, I was hung on this door, and Little Qing was placed in that stone gap. They might not even wield us once in a year. That kind of lazy and monotonous life felt boring at first, but now it seems to be the start of mine and Little Qing¡¯s spiritual awakening.]


    After listening to the description from the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai nodded in understanding.


    The rise of Purple Lightning Qing Shuang from an ordinary magic artifact to a Rank-4 superior grade, and achieving spirit consciousness was due to a series of fortunate coincidences.


    The trigger was this Mirror House.


    He didn¡¯t expect the two famously superb Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators of the Immortal Sect to lay down their swords in their later years and achieved spiritual growth without their swords.


    ¡°Is this Sword Intent helpful to my cultivation?¡±


    Chen Mobai pointed at the Sword Intent lines inside and outside the Mirror House and asked the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°For cultivators who cultivate the Qingxiao Sword Canon and the Zi Hua Sword Manual, these are the pinnacle of Dao. For you, they¡¯re slightly useful, because the Sword Dao Realm is universal.¡±


    The Purple Electric Sword spoke earnestly, Chen Mobai slightly nodded, not overthinking it.


    He was just faking being a Sword Cultivation Genius, so he didn¡¯t have high hopes for the Mirror House. He would just stay here for a day and pretend to be serious.


    Not even a moment¡¯s taking, Yan Bingxuan went up the mountain, handed him an old book, the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book.


    Chen Mobai thanked her and then talked with her for a while, but Yan Bingxuan, not wanting to distract him from comprehending Sword Intent, quickly excused herself and left the mountain.


    In the long night, Chen Mobai had nothing to do but read the book.


    With his current comprehension, he could basically understand the decoded Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book from the two masters, but after trying to cultivate it, he found that there was no reaction, feeling a little embarrassed.


    ¡°Do you remember anything about this Heavenly Book?¡±


    After several attempts, he had no choice but to shamelessly ask the Purple Electric Sword.


    ¡°The two masters used me and Little Qing to practice the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book top spell, drawing the Two-yi Qi from the Ninth Heaven.¡±


    Hearing Purple Electric Sword¡¯s response, Chen Mobai¡¯s face lit up with joy. It turns out he needs both the Purple Lightning and Qing Shuang swords at hand to cultivate, it was not because of his poor qualifications.


    ¡°So, if I join hands with Pei Qingshuang, can we cultivate it?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s uncertain. I talked with Little Qing before, it doesn¡¯t think highly of its current master. If Little Qing doesn¡¯t actively cooperate with her, just you and I combined might lead to deviation.¡±


    Upon hearing this exclusive news revealed by the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai was taken aback.


    No wonder Pei Qingshuang doesn¡¯t know the real method to cultivate the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book, it¡¯s because the Qing Shuang Sword didn¡¯t tell her.


    He had assumed that with Pei Qingshuang¡¯s status and talents, she must be approved by the Qing Shuang Sword, but reality proved otherwise.


    Did Qing Shuang Sword pretend to comply?


    Or was it forced to comply with Tao Hua Upper Person¡¯s authority?


    Or was it because the Spirit Stones Pei Qingshuang gave were not enough?


    However, after hearing this, Chen Mobai could only pretend not to know. He considered himself friends with Pei Qingshuang and didn¡¯t want her face to be lost.


    ¡°When I really want to cultivate the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book, could you please find a way to convince Qing Shuang Sword? It can name its price in Spirit Stones. As you know, I¡¯m very generous.¡±


    ¡°No problem, leave it to me.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the Purple Electric Sword immediately let out a clear chirp, brimming with confidence.


    ¡°However, there¡¯s something I want to tell you in advance. The original two masters only managed to drive me and Little Qing with ease to absorb the Purple Splendor Qi from the Nine Heavens after they reached Perfect Core Formation. If you don¡¯t cultivate both of the two Sword Manuals, even if you can drive both me and Little Qing wholeheartedly, it might not be successful.¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned. He would definitely not give up the Pure Yang Scroll that he had already invested so much in, but the Nine Heavens Purple Splendor Qi could make both masters form a nascent soul, so it was obviously extremely useful, and he wanted some too.


    Besides, most importantly, he had found out the correct way to cultivate.


    If he gave up just like that, wouldn¡¯t it be a waste?


    But there¡¯s no hurry about this matter. He could figure it out after core formation.


    The rest of the night was spent chit-chatting between Chen Mobai and the Purple Electric Sword. As a reward for the Purple Electric Sword¡¯s enlightenment, he gave it an intermediate grade Spirit Stone. This Rank-4 Magic Artifact was so happy that it spun around twice.

 Chapter 725 - Chapter 725: Chapter 432 Yan Bingxuan Foundation Establishment (8k)_1

    Chapter 725: Chapter 432 Yan Bingxuan Foundation Establishment (8k)_1


    After staying in the Mirror House for a day, Chen Mobai bid farewell to Yan Qiongzhi and Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°Won¡¯t you stay for a few more days? The Snow Spirit Water will be delivered the day after tomorrow, you can wait until Bingxuan¡¯s Foundation Establishment is successful before you leave.¡±


    Yan Qiongzhi was a little surprised and tried to persuade him to stay.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that for the Ice Spirit Root to establish its foundation, the higher probability lies in a purely ice-like environment, so I shouldn¡¯t disturb Bingxuan by staying here.¡±


    As Chen Mobai shook his head, he returned the hand-copied version of the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book to Yan Qiongzhi. After hearing this, she could only agree with a nod.


    ¡°Bingxuan, why don¡¯t you see him off?¡±


    On the side, Yan Bingxuan nodded slightly. After bidding farewell, they left the Nature Studies Academy side by side.


    They stopped talking on the way, probably because they had discussed everything while staying late that night. They silently arrived at the airport.


    ¡°The next time I receive a call from you, I hope it¡¯s to tell me you¡¯ve successfully established your foundation¡±


    Before they parted, Chen Mobai spoke to Yan Bingxuan, who lifted her head. On her normally cool face was a firm expression.


    ¡°Hmm, I will.¡±


    When that was said, the two waved goodbye.


    When Chen Mobai reached the end of the walkway, he suddenly looked back. Yan Bingxuan was still standing where he had left her.


    They locked eyes, both their expressions reflected a reluctance to part, but they both held back, merely offering each other a smile.


    The reason for his departure was that Chen Mobai had a lot to do before the new year.


    First, Meng Huang was about to graduate from the Daoist Academy. He was not sure when they would meet next, so he wanted to bid her farewell.


    Then there was evaluating the Device Nurturing Spheres for the students at the academy. Academic credits were valuable and could be exchanged for many things he wanted.


    Chen Mobai¡¯s Dantian and Purple Palace had already reached the state of Perfection in foundation establishment, so he no longer needed valuable Barrier Breaking Elixirs. Therefore, he was thinking about getting another Device Piece, or saving up to exchange them for a Gold Core of the Five Elements in the future.


    As he had ceded the position of the student council president to Zhongli Tianyu, Chen Mobai had a relaxing year.


    He did not disturb the other members of the student council. He set up a table and chairs at the square, and soon enough, people sought him out.


    With ample time this year, Chen Mobai spent a good few days at the student council square, evaluating far more than in the previous three years. He managed to earn a total of 127 credits, and together with credits saved from last year and credits gained from examinations, his student card account reached a whopping 180 credits.


    As was customary, Chen Mobai went to find Professor Luo to exchange for a year¡¯s supply of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and Vermillion Fruits.


    ¡°Bro, where are you?¡±


    After preparing the primary and auxiliary medicines for Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, Chen Mobai called Wang Xingyu, intending to get his good friend to help with the alchemy.


    ¡°I¡¯m on my honeymoon, already left in advance¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Mobai did not have the heart to ask for a favour and just wished him well.


    With his good friend not in the Daoist Academy, should he seek out Qing Nu?


    Chen Mobai had all the necessary items ready and did not wish to waste them. However, since Kong Feichen left the immortal gate with Yang Jing, Danxia City had become a place of heartbreak for Qing Nu. To avoid dredging up memories, she had rarely returned to her hometown.


    Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t just run to Jumang Daoist Academy just for this matter.


    Fortunately, as the top student in the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai had a wide network and soon thought of someone else he knew.


    Ying Sizhen, one of the vice presidents of the student council, was someone he promoted during his term. She was also graduating this year and had resigned from her position a few days ago but was still in the Daoist Academy.


    Chen Mobai gave her a call, and Ying Sizhen agreed without any hesitation.


    She was a Rank-2 Alchemist and although this was her first time crafting Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, with the help of Spiritual Extract and Chen Mobai¡¯s indifference toward a small amount of elixir poison, she managed to finish the task smoothly.


    Out of gratitude, Chen Mobai gave her two pieces of Spiritual Extract, but she only accepted one.


    A person worth befriending indeed.


    After receiving the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew from Ying Sizhen, Chen Mobai thought to himself.


    At night, at Meng Huang¡¯s villa on top of the hill.


    ¡°We¡¯re parting now, not knowing when we¡¯ll meet again¡±


    Chen Mobai leaned on the balcony, speaking to Meng Huang, who was lazily lying on the couch, her face flushed from drinking wine.


    ¡°If you wish to see me, I can come to you anytime. After all, there¡¯s not much to do at the Art Department on a regular basis. Only during festivals do I need to perform on stage.¡±


    Meng Huang held her wine glass and spoke. As Chen Mobai would return to Danxia city tomorrow, they were saying their parting goodbyes that night. She proposed drinking some wine as a farewell.


    The wine was naturally brought by Chen Mobai. It was made from Green Jade Spirit Rice and was quite strong.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After a couple of drinks, Meng Huang¡¯s cheeks turned rosy, enhancing her lovely appearance.


    Before Chen Mobai, she didn¡¯t need to maintain the restraint of a superstar. Her white fingers clasping the transparent wine glass glowed under the warm yellow light of the room. After each sentence, she took a sip. Her already red cheeks became more charming, her eyes flirtatious.


    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I last heard you sing. As we part, sing a song for me.¡±


    Looking at the blushing beauty in front of him, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but remember their first meeting, and couldn¡¯t resist asking for a song.

 Chapter 726 - Chapter 726: Chapter 432 Yan Bingxuan Foundation Establishment (8k)_2

    Chapter 726: Chapter 432 Yan Bingxuan Foundation Establishment (8k)_2


    ¡°Alright, what do you want to listen to?¡±


    Meng Huang put down her wine glass, stood up from the lounge chair on the balcony, her slightly drunk eyes warm and seductive, shy and smiling. Amidst her tall and elegant figure glowed an illuminating beauty.


    ¡°¡®Stepping Moon Tune¡¯, please.¡±


    The scene reminded Chen Mobai of their first encounter nearly ten years ago. Apart from her character becoming more mature, Meng Huang¡¯s figure and beauty didn¡¯t seem to have changed at all. She was like a celestial being with fresh flowers in full bloom, stunningly beautiful.


    ¡°Alright, but it¡¯s a duet, do you want to sing along with me?¡±


    Meng Huang came over to him, winked playfully and asked.


    ¡°I¡¯ll accompany you, as backup vocal.¡±


    At Chen Mobai¡¯s cultivation level, he wouldn¡¯t forget a song after hearing it once. Even though he never practiced the Mystic Sound Method and couldn¡¯t imitate the effect Meng Huang had with Jiang Yuyuan, he could still perform correctly with her.


    ¡°Bright moon, bright moon, a cry of sorrow¡­¡±


    The incredibly melodious voice that Chen Mobai would never forget after hearing it once echoed into his ears again. Although, nine years ago, he was gazing at her holy posture on the stage. A girl clothed in gorgeous costumes, appearing like a fairy under the moonlight.


    Now, she was murmuring into his ear.


    Her ethereal and fresh voice seemed to be a gift from heaven. It was like a light breeze in the mountains, gentle and bright, and like tinkling gemstones falling down, ringing out the most heartfelt version of ¡®Stepping Moon Tune¡¯ that Chen Mobai had ever heard in his life.


    His only regret was his average backing singing: devoid of any technique, but full of emotion.


    Subconsciously, they both had become slightly drunk.


    Chen Mobai felt like he was back in Red Sandstone City nine years ago, and Meng Huang seemed to have worn her gauzy white dress again. Her face flushed from alcohol had turned into her exquisite performance makeup¡­


    The woman was as delicate as jade, her nimbleness as fine as the wispy clouds.


    On the next day, while returning to Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but reminisce about the beautiful dreams he had last night after getting drunk.


    The clear and ethereal voice coupled with her gentle and water-like beautiful eyes, indeed, could make one sink into a romantic reverie.


    Luckily, Chen Mobai was steadfast in his principles and resolutely got up in the morning and caught the flight home.


    This year¡¯s Red Sandstone City felt more lonely to Chen Mobai.


    Even his younger sister Wang Xinying didn¡¯t come back; she stayed at the Primordial Elemental Academy.


    The rest of his old classmates who had failed in their foundation establishment fell into acute depression, while those of weaker minds gave up on themselves and began to enjoy the last year before graduation.


    On the contrary, people like Lu Hongsheng, who was still stuck on the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, had accepted their fate early on and had started enjoying themselves several years ago.


    But, Chen Mobai felt that Lu Hongsheng was rather fortunate after having a meal with him.


    Lu Hongsheng¡¯s high school desk-mate, the beautiful Yu Shu, had started dating him. Now, they planned to get their marriage certificate before graduation and then have a child.


    When Lu Hongsheng serves his military service, Yu Shu will stay in Red Sandstone City because she will be the sole caretaker of the child.


    ¡°If I had known I could marry Yu Shu, I would have started working hard in high school¡­¡±


    Lu Hongsheng used to be carefree; even if he served in the military, he planned to coast by for ten years. But now, he became more mature after getting a girlfriend and discussing marriage and having children with her.


    He regretted not working hard in his younger years. Even if he was not as impressive as Chen Mobai, if he had sensed his divine gift, at least learning the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal would be more comfortable, and even if he served in the military, he could be a technical soldier.


    As it stands, even if he wants to study and make progress, he can¡¯t compare to his peers who have developed their Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.


    ¡°The army is a big melting pot, and also another school. Although you have failed in pursuing cultivation in the Immortal Cultivation School, if you work hard there, you may catch the opportunity of Foundation Establishment. Try your best ¨C I hope to have you as a friend by my side a hundred years later.¡±


    Chen Mobai cared for his desk mate Lu Hongsheng, but progress in the cultivation process relies on self-awareness; urging does not work.


    However, it¡¯s not too late to wake up now.


    After all, their graduating class is only 28 years old on average; there are still thirty years left to achieve Foundation Establishment.


    The ten-year training in the army is designed to detect gems that were not selected in the Immortal Cultivation School, though this screening method is rigorous.


    And when the Little Red Sky opens, the Immortal Sect will announce that there will be a war of territory within a hundred years. The first ones to be conscripted will be the cultivators with military service experience.


    If one cannot stand out in the first thirty years of life, then they must strive to achieve Foundation Establishment in the next thirty years.


    And Lu Hongsheng was now ready for this.


    However, Chen Mobai did not know how long his enthusiasm would last. He only hoped that having a family could truly change his lazy and careless nature.

    After visiting Lu Hongsheng, Chen Mobai also went to see his other classmates.


    Surprisingly, Shi Jingjing, who had always been regarded as lax and lazy in his eyes, had decided to serve in the military.


    ¡°I had no choice. There are no men around that I am interested in. Those I am interested in, like you, are excellent. Even if I want to have a child for you, you certainly wouldn¡¯t agree.¡±


    Shi Jingjing was as straightforward as always. On hearing this, Chen Mobai could only give an awkward smile, but he didn¡¯t respond.

    Chapter 727: Chapter 432 Yan Bingxuan Foundation Establishment (8k)_3


    ¡°Don¡¯t lose heart, you still have a final year; you might even succeed.¡±


    On one side, Cao Yaling comforted her best friend, even after her Foundation Establishment, their relationship remained very good, just like Xu Yuan and Shi Yuanqing.


    Chen Mobai initially thought Xu Yuan and Shi Jingjing to be a good match, but both seemed to have expectations for their Foundation Establishment, neither planned to give up just yet, wanting to train in the military for another ten years.


    As graduation approached, everyone needed to make a decision about their future life.


    Getting married and having children, was a peaceful and stable future given by the Immortal Door to everyone.


    The military department, on the other hand, offered a lifeline to those cultivators who were not satisfied.


    There was another pair that Chen Mobai never saw coming.


    Song Zheng and Mo Simin started dating, this was told to him by Yan Bingxuan. She had already obtained the Snow Spirit Water and was ready to establish her foundation. She made a special call to Chen Mobai before her retreat.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°This is surprising, how did their personalities hit it off?¡±


    Yan Bingxuan: ¡°Min¡¯er pursued him. She doesn¡¯t want to go to the military department. She¡¯s been with Song Zheng at the Heavenly Book Academy for so many years and feels he is a decent person, so she took the initiative on the matter.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s like saying ¡®chasing a man with a partition paper between¡¯.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yan Bingxuan on the other end of the phone was silent for a while.


    Yan Bingxuan: ¡°After Song Zheng failed to establish his foundation, his demeanor has changed. He wanted to change himself, so he started dating Min¡¯er. Whether they can make it or not depends on whether they can get their licenses before graduation next year.¡±


    Back in high school, Song Zheng and Yan Bingxuan competed for the first place in the class for a while.


    But now, they have both grown up and find their immature behaviors back then laughable.


    After dawn, Chen Mobai finally hung up the phone with Yan Bingxuan.


    In the end, he didn¡¯t forget to wish her successful Foundation Establishment.


    After chatting with all his classmates and friends in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai realized that under the tremendous pressure of the last year of graduation, it seemed that everyone matured abruptly.


    For the first time, Chen Mobai admired the person who implemented this system in Immortal Door.


    The way to govern a country, is the foundation of stability.


    But for him, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he already stepped out and can make determinations on his own.


    At the end of the year, he applied for a discount sale permit from the relevant departments in Red Sandstone City. Thanks to last year¡¯s experience, he began advertising half a month earlier, so he sold more than last year.


    A total sales of three hundred thousand talisman papers brought Chen Mobai an income of 21 million Good Deed Points.


    After paying off the mortgage loan on the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, he finally felt the relief of being debt-free.


    What made him happier, was the stable quality of the jade talisman paper produced by Flying Sky Talisman Factory this year, which could ensure all produced was Rank-2 Talisman of lower-grade.


    Although it was barely qualified compared to other talisman factories, it was happy news for the nascent Flying Sky Talisman Factory.


    Although there was still no profit this year, Chen Mobai still issued the usual bonus, which would enable factory director Pan Kaiqiang to continue leading the workers to produce Rank-2 talisman paper and ink next year in hopes of nurturing a group of skilled workers to prepare for the Rank-3 talisman paper and ink of the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman in the future.


    Pan Kaiqiang knew Flying Sky Talisman Factory had been losing money for two consecutive years, but when he received the bonus, he secretly vowed to produce better products for the company in the future.


    After sorting out the business in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai moved the million sheets of talisman paper produced by the puppet factory this year to Xiao Nanshan.


    Two days later, the three disciples who had dealt with the Fire Spirit Rice returned.


    Liu Wenbo even brought along Lan Lingping¡¯s disciple, Xue Ting.


    Chen Mobai met her and summoned Zhuo Ming to guide her in farming, her learning would depend on whether she was diligent enough.


    Zhuo Ming naturally had no doubts about the arrangement of her master.


    She took Xue Ting to her Court mountain, she asked her to recognize the Spiritual Oil Mustard Greens from the terraced fields first, and then gradually led her to plant the Fire Spirit Rice.


    At the end of the year, the mentor and disciples of Xiao Nanshan always get together.


    ¡°You¡¯ve all worked hard.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded to his three disciples, then asked if they had any doubts or questions in their cultivation this year.


    As the eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo spoke first. He suffered some Elemental Energy loss due to the Bead that Breaks Meridians during his time on the Thunder Nation Battlefield. He had just recovered this year, but his renewed training gave him a different understanding and he didn¡¯t know why, so he asked Chen Mobai for guidance.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°It¡¯s simple, your previous understanding of the cultivation technique was not quite correct ¡­ not to say wrong, it should be said that it¡¯s not entirely right, it was one-sided. As your experience and cultivation level grow, you will gradually comprehend the full picture of the cultivation technique. But to distinguish the correctness of the cognition, you need guidance from someone of a higher realm,¡±


    As their master, Chen Mobai was this high-level person, his guidance allowed Liu Wenbo to understand the Biphasic Cultivation, Azure Water Cultivation, and Longevity Scripture more deeply.


    Next was Zhuo Ming, she was a little embarrassed because she had the most problems.


    After all, among the Xiao Nanshan group, her cultivation level was the lowest, just Qi Cultivation Rank 8.

    Chapter 728: Chapter 432: Yan Bingxuan¡¯s Foundation Establishment (8k)_4


    Moreover, she also practiced the Nine Reaches Law Body, but she herself knew nothing about body forging.


    So throughout this year, she accumulated a booklet full of questions.


    Chen Mobai took it and looked at it, nodding in approval, these questions reflected Zhuo Ming¡¯s diligence and dedication.


    He began to explain them one by one. Although he had never cultivated the Nine Reaches Law Body before, with the Non-Phase Puppet, deducing the content of the Qi Cultivation was easy.


    ¡°Master, I feel that my Qi Cultivation Realm is about to break through this year. Isn¡¯t it a bit too fast?¡±


    In the end, Zhuo Ming asked another question, somewhat unsure of herself.


    Improving one level in a year is considered genius in the Eastern Wilderness. Even some true inheritors of the Divine Wood Sect don¡¯t progress at this speed.


    However, Chen Mobai knew that this was Zhuo Ming¡¯s normal speed.


    After all, her Earth Spirit Root was outstanding, and over the past two years, she had personally developed a thousand acres of Spirit Fields and comprehended the essence of the Mother Earth Cultivation. In addition, she was well supplied with Spirit Stone and Spirit Rice. If she didn¡¯t make progress, now that would be strange.


    However, he was well aware of Zhuo Ming¡¯s mentality. She was of normal talent and in order to reassure her, he took her pulse himself, then nonchalantly nodded: ¡°This is normal progress. But to solidify the foundation, you should not attempt to break through now. Wait until Spiritual Power overflows, and then naturally open the Dantian¡¯s Qi Sea. This will be beneficial for your Foundation Establishment.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, master. I feel relieved now.¡±


    As expected, after hearing his words, the unease that had been on Zhuo Ming¡¯s face disappeared, replaced by a big smile.


    Chen Mobai had high expectations for his second disciple, whom he saw as his future successor. As long as she cultivated step by step, Foundation Establishment would undoubtedly be achieved, so his guidance to her was the most meticulous.


    When it was Luo Yixuan¡¯s turn, she also had a heap of questions, but Chen Mobai, after a glance, knew they were contrived, and he flicked her smooth forehead, making her burst into tears and kneel on the grass, admitting her mistakes.


    ¡°What did you do wrong?¡±


    ¡°Master, everything is my fault.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re too clever for your own good.¡±


    Chen Mobai saw tears sparkling in the corners of Luo Yixuan¡¯s eyes as if she was truly frightened. He laughed and signaled her to stand up.


    But Luo Yixuan dared not stand up, she continued kneeling, recounting in detail how she used her master¡¯s name to show off and have her way in the Luo family.


    ¡°That is indeed a bit wrong.¡±


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t expect Luo Yixuan to do such a thing. He murmured to himself after hearing about it.


    ¡°Master, I am partly to blame for this. I didn¡¯t manage the transportation of Spirit Rice well. The little junior sister only requisitioned the Spirit Camels of the Luo family to help me complete the task as quickly as possible.¡±


    At this moment, Liu Wenbo also kneeled down and pleaded for Luo Yixuan. Seeing her two fellow disciples kneeling, Zhuo Ming also kneeled down.


    Chen Mobai asked, ¡°Was the Luo family paid for the Spirit Camels with Spirit Stones?¡±


    Liu Wenbo replied honestly, ¡°They were paid, all at market prices. I wanted to pay more, but the Luo family did not dare to accept.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°If they¡¯ve been paid, then it¡¯s fine. But Xuan, you are someone who will establish her Foundation in the future. You still have over two hundred years of lifespan, just vent out the frustration you have suffered in your childhood, and don¡¯t keep it in your heart, lest it become a Heart Demon in the future.¡±


    Hearing the master say this, Luo Yixuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped crying.


    ¡°I will follow the master¡¯s instructions.¡±


    With tears in her eyes, she raised her head timidly and saluted Chen Mobai again.


    ¡°Alright, everyone get up. There¡¯s no need for so many formalities in my sect.¡±


    With a wave of Chen Mobai¡¯s sleeve, his three disciples were lifted by his Spiritual Power and stood up. Then he handed Luo Yixuan¡¯s booklet back to her: ¡°Don¡¯t waste my time with these filler questions in the future.¡±


    Only then did the three disciples understand why the master had flicked the forehead of the little junior sister. So it was because of this little matter.


    Luo Yixuan¡¯s face turned red as if she was mortified, and she bowed her head shyly.


    ¡°Master, this is this year¡¯s income from the South Mountain Shop. Due to the addition of shops in Yun Country and Snow Country, the income has increased slightly, totaling 48,367 lower-grade Spirit Stones.¡±


    Seeing that the little junior sister looked as if she was about to find a hole to crawl into, Liu Wenbo immediately took out a storage bag and handed it to Chen Mobai. The latter took it pleased to see 480 intermediate grade Spirit Stones, along with some change.


    ¡°Master, we¡¯ve been able to open up a way to the Snow-blowing Palace. Next year, I plan to expand the South Mountain Shop to the Frost Country. Additionally, should you and Uncle Zhou, Uncle Hong He announce something about Rain Country and Lei Nation inside the sect¡¯s territory?¡±


    Liu Wenbo had been managing the shop outside for the past two years. With the massive influx of Spirit Stones passing through his hands, he felt a sense of unprecedented purpose in life. Now, he only wanted to make the South Mountain Shop bigger and stronger, spreading it all over the Eastern Wilderness.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°As for Lei Nation, let¡¯s put it aside for now. War is imminent. If we expand there, we might become ruins. The Frost Country, although it¡¯s part of the Snow-blowing Palace, borders Lei Nation and Rock Country. If the war escalates, it¡¯s also likely to be affected, so we won¡¯t go there now.¡±


    As for the Rain Country, which is garrisoned by Hong He, it happens to be at the southernmost end of the territory of the Divine Wood Sect, adjacent to the Five Elements Sect. It should be fine before the end of the battle with Mountain Shaker Peak.


    It¡¯s a pity that Hong He is a well-behaved man. He won¡¯t come if there is nothing happening in the sect.


    Chen Mobai could only write a letter to Liu Wenbo, letting him take it along with some gifts to visit Hong He after the New Year. With his face value, opening the South Mountain Shop there should not be a big problem.

    Chapter 729: Chapter 432 Yan Bingxuan Foundation Establishment (8k)_5


    ¡°Here, this is your New Year money,¡± He said.


    After everything was explained, Chen Mobai took out three hundred lower-grade spirit stones, giving each disciple one hundred.


    All three disciples happily accepted, as it was equivalent to their annual benefits at the Divine Wood Sect.


    ¡°Ming, go open a jar of new spiritual wine, Xuan, go pick some shoots, Wen Bo, catch some rice fish, I will pick up some Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice and catch some spirit chicken. Tonight, we will feast together as master and disciples.¡±


    Today was like the New Year in the Eastern Wilderness, and Chen Mobai felt that it was necessary to cook something delicious for the disciples, so he decided to cook himself.


    ¡°Oh yes, the disciple from Snow-blowing Palace might feel lonely on her own. Let¡¯s invite her over,¡±


    Before Chen Mobai could go down the mountain, he remembered this and told it to Zhuo Ming, who immediately nodded in agreement.


    ¡°What is this¡­?¡±


    When Xue Ting was brought over by Zhuo Ming, she saw Chen Mobai with a spatula in one hand while pouring oil and cooking with the other hand. She widened her lovely eyes, seemingly unable to believe the scene in front of her.


    ¡°Just find a tree stump and sit down. I¡¯m going to slaughter a chicken.¡±


    Liu Wen Bo and Luo Yixuan are both from wealthy families. They can cook rice, but they cannot slaughter chickens.


    However, Liu Wenbo, due to his family background, was adept at killing fish.


    Then, in front of Xue Ting¡¯s disbelieving face, Zhuo Ming rolled up her sleeves and neatly slaughtered a chicken.


    ¡°Today, I will make a dish of spicy diced chicken for you. I saw these wild peppers when I was catching the spirit chicken, so I guarantee you will love it,¡±


    Chen Mobai took out various seasonings from his storage bag. After stir-frying a bowl of bamboo shoots, he began to cook the chicken that Zhuo Ming had prepared, and the fish that Wen Bo had killed.


    Meanwhile, Luo Yixuan had already skillfully skewered chicken wings and legs on wooden sticks and was grilling them over the campfire.


    ¡°Xue Ting, don¡¯t mind the simplicity of the meal,¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished cooking, he put down the cookware and brought two large plates of food over. Soon, Liu Wenbo and the others brought over the cooked Spirit Rice, warmed spiritual wine, and roasted chicken legs and chicken wings.


    ¡°Greetings to Uncle Chen, Brother Liu, Sister Zhuo, Sister Luo,¡±


    Xue Ting is not much of a talker and only knows how to greet them most simply.


    Chen Mobai waved his hand, signalling that it was time to eat. Luo Yixuan immediately poured him a cup of spiritual wine and placed the best-roasted chicken wings and chicken legs she cooked in front of him.


    ¡°You have a special physique, so I have specifically cooked a pot of Fire Spirit Rice. Eaten together with this rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, it should be beneficial for your vitality,¡±


    Liu Wenbo cracked open a tube of Jade Bamboo and mixed its Spirit Rice with a bowl of Fire Spirit Rice, then passed it to Xue Ting.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Liu,¡±


    Xue Ting never thought that she would receive such treatment at Xiao Nanshan. From watching this previously unseen pupil-teacher relationship, she felt a significant impact deep within her heart.


    She hesitantly looked at the bowl of Spirit Rice, which appeared like red and white jade, placed before her before finally deciding to remove her veil.


    As expected, she evoked an etheric, heavenly beauty, crystal clear as a Narcissus.


    The master and three disciples were all taken aback by her immortal-like beauty but only saw it as something to be admired.


    ¡°Xue Ting, you are truly beautiful,¡±


    Luo Yixuan politely complimented.


    ¡°You¡¯re flattering me, Sister Luo. You¡¯re the one with celestial charm and beauty. I am nowhere close to you,¡±


    After Chen Mobai had a glimpse of Xue Ting¡¯s true features, he lost interest. Then he called over his first disciple and began to drink.


    However, among all the inhabitants of Xiao Nanshan, Zhuo Ming had the best alcohol tolerance.


    ¡°Would you like to have a drink? This, too, is a speciality of Xiao Nanshan. It has unique benefits for people with cold constitutions,¡±


    Over here, Luo Yixuan was looking after the newly arrived Xue Ting. After Xue Ting had a few small bites of the Spirit Rice, she indeed felt her vitality becoming warmer and more invigorating. Hearing this, she became interested and took a small sip.


    As soon as she took a sip, her originally white face immediately turned a little rosy. Her previously cold temperament dispersed, her eyes sparkled, and she became enchantingly teasing.


    Unfortunately, only Luo Yixuan on her side could see this gorgeous face that couldn¡¯t handle the alcohol. The three disciples from the other side were already slightly drunk and were drowned in their drinks.


    The next morning, Zhuo Ming took Xue Ting back to her court mountain, while Luo Yixuan stayed behind to clean up the top of Xiao Nanshan.


    Liu Wenbo was sprawled out on the grass, sound asleep.


    Chen Mobai did not bother him; instead, he signalled Luo Yixuan to go back. Then, he went back to his wooden hut and took out an intermediate-grade spirit stone. After he sobered up, he began Cultivating a Pure Yang Body as his means of countering the hangover.


    A new year calls for diligent hard work.


    After the Eastern Wilderness finished celebrating the New Year, it was time for Red Sandstone City to celebrate. However, without the cheerful noise from his younger sister, Wang Xinying, the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.


    After the New Year, Chen Mobai returned to the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Even though he was seated in his wooden house and had nothing to look forward to, he found himself incessantly looking towards the top of the mountain.


    Meng Huang had already purchased the villa on top of the mountain long before graduation, giving a copy of the key to Chen Mobai.


    However, without the beloved person waiting there, Chen Mobai was not used to it. Initially, he felt rather empty inside.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    As such, he devoted his attention entirely to his work. As he was busy preparing for the assembly of the Formless Puppet, he suddenly received a call from Yan Bingxuan.


    ¡°I have successfully established my foundation!¡±


    When Chen Mobai heard these words, a feeling of heartfelt joy welled up inside him.


    Next, an unusual feeling of anticipation followed promptly.


    wuxiaworld.site .co

 Chapter 730 - Chapter 730: Chapter 433 Saint (8k)_1

    Chapter 730: Chapter 433 ¡®Saint¡¯ (8k)_1


    To be honest, Chen Mobai really didn¡¯t expect Yan Bingxuan could establish her foundation in one go.


    After all, even he had to do it twice.


    But upon further thought, Yan Bingxuan was originally a prodigy, during her nine years in the university she was just like him, working day and night to improve and refine her spiritual root. Add in the assistance of the three foundation-building treasures, Snow Spirit Water, and Water Mist Ice Crystal, it was no less effective than a Foundation Building Pill.


    If we also take into account the foundational knowledge from the Immortal sect, like the spiritual power vortex that he taught, it is conceivable that Yan Bingxuan could establish her foundation in one go.


    It¡¯s just like Hong He, Zhou Wangshen, E Yun and the rest from the Divine Wood Sect.


    They all successfully established their foundations with a single Foundation Building Pill.


    ¡°Congratulations, if you¡¯ve established your foundation, I can rest at ease.¡±


    After hearing Yan Bingxuan¡¯s good news, Chen Mobai responded heartily.


    At least now, on the road to eternal life, he has one more companion who can accompany him for two hundred years.


    Yan Bingxuan: ¡°You¡¯re the first person I called, I¡¯m still in the Cultivation Room.¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°It¡¯s an honor. What are your plans for the future? Exam for public service, postgraduate studies, or continue studying in Nature Studies Academy?¡±


    Yan Bingxuan: ¡°I probably won¡¯t be taking the public service exam. The Xuan Bing Jue that I¡¯m cultivating only requires a water elemental Gold Core. Originally, I planned to stay in the Nature Studies Academy like my teacher after establishing the foundation.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought of Yan Qiongzhi, who indeed succeeded in Core Formation simply by relying on a water elemental Gold Core and the Rank-4 Water Pulse Spirit Qi of the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    Having learned her true teachings, Yan Bingxuan could also hope to reach Core Formation if she follows her teacher¡¯s footsteps.


    ¡°When your Foundation Establishment is complete, you can apply for the opening of a Gold Core domain. If you mastered Yan True Man¡¯s Freezing Technique and follow her successful experience, perhaps you too can be successful.¡±


    Chen Mobai reiterates this matter; it was his last concern before Core Formation.


    ¡°Ok, I will try my best to open a Gold Core domain with you.¡±


    In Yan Bingxuan¡¯s words, it¡¯s already a given that Chen Mobai will succeed. After all, he has the qualifications for Divinity Transformation, there¡¯s no reason why he can¡¯t succeed.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but feel embarrassed.


    That¡¯s the downside of being too well-known. If he didn¡¯t accomplish something that is very difficult for others, it would lead to a lot of doubt.


    However, Chen Mobai was very open-minded, he didn¡¯t care about this false reputation, and had prepared himself for the possibility of failing to open a Gold Core domain.


    There¡¯s nothing more practical than the realm of cultivation.


    Even if he fails to open it after the perfection of Foundation Establishment, he will have another chance after Core Formation. As long as he does not fail then, it¡¯s all good.


    [I shouldn¡¯t fail, right?]


    Chen Mobai thought to himself, then he chatted with Yan Bingxuan briefly. Suddenly, they fell into silence, out of topics.


    ¡°Do you have any plans to take postgraduate exams or stay in the Daoist Academy after you graduate?¡±


    In the end, it was Yan Bingxuan who asked.


    Chen Mobai thought about it for a bit. He didn¡¯t plan on taking the public service exam because he was afraid that Turtle Treasure might be exposed in the Celestial Sect. While staying in the Daoist Academy was a good way to obtain a Five Elements Gold Core, Chen Mobai wanted to focus on the Tianhe Realm after graduation, as its resources were far more abundant than the Celestial Sect.


    Furthermore, with his current status in the Divine Wood Sect, obtaining a Gold Core spiritual objects wouldn¡¯t be difficult.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t decided yet. I¡¯ll see when I graduate next year.¡±


    At last, Chen Mobai could only give a noncommittal response.


    Yan Bingxuan: ¡°If you stay in the Dance Tool Dao Academy, I can pursue further studies here. If you¡¯re advancing at another Daoist Academy, I can go with you.¡±


    Students among the four Daoist Academies can further their studies in one of the other three academies through postgraduate exams after graduation, if they feel their knowledge is still insufficient.


    Even if Chen Mobai is a bit slow on the uptake, he understood the implications in Yan Bingxuan¡¯s words.


    To be honest, if things remained as they are in his life, he would love to spend the rest of his life with her. After all, Yan Bingxuan was his girl-next-door crush from his youth.


    Just like Lu Hongsheng and Yu Shu, if Chen Mobai knew during high school that he could accompany Yan Bingxuan hand in hand, he would certainly think his life was perfect without any regrets.


    But the present Chen Mobai has embarked on a different path of destiny.


    With the help of Turtle Treasure to travel between the two realms, he could possibly reach higher realms. Beyond Core Formation, Chen Mobai even dared to aspire to Nascent Soul Formation.


    That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t want to decide who would accompany him for an entire lifetime that early.


    When Chen Mobai was very young, his grandparents passed away one after another. Although he was still young, he felt the pain of losing a loved one and even fell seriously ill.


    A Daoist couple are life-long companions, like family for an entire lifetime, it¡¯s where most cultivators place their emotional attachments.

    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t want to see, hundreds of years later, his Daoist companion age and turn into bones in her grave with his own eyes.


    Therefore, even though his anticipation was satisfied, after some thought, he decided not to make promises lightly.


    ¡°You put it this way, then I have to think it through even more seriously.¡±


    In the end, Chen Mobai replied to Yan Bingxuan with a smile. After hearing his response, she gently hummed her acknowledgment, and then they hung up the phone after a long silence.

 Chapter 731 - Chapter 731: Chapter 433 Saint (8k)_2

    Chapter 731: Chapter 433 ¡®Saint¡¯ (8k)_2


    After Yan Bingxuan established his foundation, Chen Mobai had no other concerns in the immortal sect.


    He began to devote himself fully to the creation of the Formless Puppets.


    At the beginning of the school year, Chai Lun came over with various tools.


    They then went together to the Heavenly Tool Factory. Zhou Tiangong arranged a small workshop for them, similar to the place where Chen Mobai and Chai Lun had made the illusion puppet.


    Chen Mobai began to assemble various parts and guided Chai Lun on some achievable tasks.


    The Formless Puppet was a peak in the fields of machinery, electronics, and bionics in the immortal sect. Chai Lun could understand about a third of it, so Chen Mobai left the simple pre-assembly of machinery to him for final checking.


    The remaining electronics and bionics had to be handled by Chen Mobai himself.


    Luckily, Wenren Xuewei came by shortly after. She was an expert in bionics. Although she did not specialize in Puppet Dao, she could keep up with Chen Mobai¡¯s thought process.


    Together with Zhou Tiangong, who was proficient in artifact refining, the four of them discussed for a long time. After ensuring that every aspect of the blueprints had been comprehended and no doubts remained, they began their respective tasks in cooperation.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave now. In about three months, I¡¯ll bring over all these bionic materials.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei smiled and took the custom blueprint from Chen Mobai. These materials cost about eight million Good Deed Points in the immortal sect market. But because only the Jumang Daoist Academy could cultivate them, they set the price.


    As one of the four signatories of the works, all these expenses were covered by Wenren Xuewei, saving Chen Mobai a great deal.


    The rest of the mechanical and electronic parts were taken care of by Chai Lun and Zhou Tiangong. The only thing Chen Mobai had to pay for was the Rank-3 core chip.


    Even so, the price was not cheap, as it cost ten million.


    This was because of Che Yucheng¡¯s favour. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be able to buy it even if he had the money.


    The core chip of the Formless Puppet was also custom-made and could not be mass-produced.


    For this matter, Chen Mobai specifically made a trip to the West Profound Cave Heaven to sign the core chip order contract and also paid the full amount for the chip.


    As a result, the account of the Flying Talisman Factory was once again emptied of funds. It was even insufficient, and a loan of three million was taken from the Immortal Sect Bank.


    Chen Mobai was used to this. Running a company without debts is not called a company, right?


    After settling the business at the Immortal Sect Bank in Danxia City, Chen Mobai stayed at home for a few days.


    Because it was springtime, it was time for sowing at Xiao Nanshan.


    Every year at this time, if he had the time, he would personally plant two acres of land.


    This time was no exception.


    However, compared to the usual trio of master and disciples, this time there was an additional Xue Ting, a Qi cultivation female cultivator from the Snow-blowing Palace.


    ¡°This Fire Spirit Rice doesn¡¯t require high-quality earth energy, but it cannot encounter cold weather when it¡¯s sprouting, otherwise, the Spirit Rice that grows will be the same as common rice¡­¡±


    ¡°If you really encounter extremely cold weather, then you need to set up a formation early or cover each seedling with a bag¡­¡±


    ¡°Pest diseases are also a major issue. In addition to the protection of the formation, we at Xiao Nanshan also hire mortals to watch over them, ensuring that each person can inspect their Spirit Field every day. If there¡¯s a problem, they¡¯ll contact us directly¡­¡±


    Chen Mobai, who was loosening the soil at this time, saw Zhuo Ming patiently teaching Xue Ting on the Rank-1 Spirit Field not far away, and nodded in satisfaction.


    ¡°Master, aren¡¯t you going to let senior sister keep some secrets?¡±


    At his side, Luo Yixuan, wearing a straw hat, came over and whispered.


    It¡¯s customary in the Eastern Wilderness to keep half of their real skills secret when teaching, even if it¡¯s their own children.


    ¡°The first rule of being under my guidance: Treat people with sincerity, and establish oneself with trust.¡±


    Chen Mobai knocked on his little disciple¡¯s smooth forehead again, admonishing her.


    He was aware of the customs of the Eastern Wilderness, and he had no intention of changing others, but at the very least, he wanted his disciples to understand the meaning of the words ¡°honesty and trustworthiness¡± and uphold them as principles.


    Among them, Zhuo Ming was simple-minded and after several years of education, her actions and mindset had completely aligned with his, so he regarded her as his successor.


    As for Luo Yixuan, she was greatly influenced by her family when she was forming her own viewpoints, and having joined later, there was still some residual poison in her thoughts that hadn¡¯t been purged.


    On the contrary, his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo, despite being born in a noble family, was perhaps due to his down-to-earth nature, or the decent moral climate of the Liu family, he was also an honest person.


    ¡°Master, are there any other rules? I¡¯ll remember them all at once.¡±


    Luo Yixuan covered her forehead, looking a little aggrieved.


    ¡°Not for now. I¡¯ll tell you when I remember.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s words made Luo Yixuan pout, but she didn¡¯t dare to say anything and could only lower her head in acknowledgement.

    ¡°Bring over the seedlings.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Mobai started sowing.


    Today he was sowing the Green Jade Spirit Rice. This new type of Spirit Rice, after several rounds of catalysis, could now basically ensure that all the grains grown would be Rank-2.


    However, he was still a little worried, so he personally came over to complete the first planting of Green Jade Spirit Rice.


    Zhuo Ming had already learned how to do it a long time ago, so she was teaching Xue Ting how to plant Fire Spirit Rice on the side, while Luo Yixuan took this opportunity to help Chen Mobai in place of Zhuo Ming.

 Chapter 732 - Chapter 732: Chapter 433 "Saint" (8k)_3

    Chapter 732: Chapter 433 ¡°Saint¡± (8k)_3


    ¡°Very well, Master.¡±


    Upon Chen Mobai¡¯s summons, Luo Yixuan immediately picked ten saplings from a heap in the distance, and transported them using a magic technique.


    Although Luo Yixuan¡¯s farming skills were modest compared to Zhuo Ming, she became adept over the years. The master and disciple had an excellent rapport.


    One would hand them over, and the other would plant them. They quickly sowed one-acre of land.


    ¡°Shall I step aside for now?¡±


    Xue Ting, who was standing nearby, knew that Green Jade Spirit Rice was a Rank-2 Spirit Rice. Seeing that Chen Mobai and his disciple began sowing, Xue Ting conscientiously suggested to Zhuo Ming that she should excuse herself.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. My master has said, if possible, in the future, he also intends to spread this Green Jade Spirit Rice throughout the Eastern Wilderness. If you can learn the process too, it would also be considered as a help to my master.¡±


    Zhuo Ming said with a smile, accepting the Fire Spirit Rice seedlings from Xue Ting, and planted them precisely and skillfully.


    Since she needed to demonstrate the process, she manually planted them one by one. She carefully taught Xue Ting each and every step, such as loosening and firming the soil and watering it.


    ¡°I never expected that there are people with such aspirations like Uncle Master Chen in Eastern Wilderness.¡±


    Xue Ting didn¡¯t know how to describe Chen Mobai. At least, this is the first time in her life that she has met such a person, devoid of prejudices, and willing to teach an outsider without reservation.


    You must know that before coming here, she had already prepared to face she might be looked down upon and treated with a cold demeanor.


    After all, she is going to learn a cultivation technique of Spirit Plants that others had painstakingly developed and tested. If someone came to Snow-blowing Palace to learn about Crystal spirit rice cultivation, it would already be considered polite of Snow-blowing Palace if they didn¡¯t get angry and kick the person out.


    That¡¯s why, when Lan Lingping chose who would complete this task, her fellow sisters quickly made excuses to avoid it. As she wasn¡¯t good at socializing and was ostracized due to her beauty, she was the one selected.


    Xue Ting couldn¡¯t defy the sect and her master, and on top of that, there was a reward of ten thousand contribution points for completing this task, enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.


    She does not have too many friends in her sect, and whilst she was close to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, she couldn¡¯t gather enough contributions, and others were unwilling to lend, increasing her worries.


    But hearing that she would get ten thousand contribution points, Xue Ting pushed down the indignation in her heart and undertook the task.


    However, Lan Lingping knew how difficult this task was and ensured her beforehand, that as long as she could bring back the complete cultivation method of Fire Spirit Rice without fail, she would definitely get her hands on a pill from the next batch of Foundation Building pills to be produced.


    At last, she hinted that to complete the task, she could make certain sacrifices.


    It did not need her to clarify what kind of sacrifice, from that sentence alone, Xue Ting understood why her fellow female disciples would push her to take up the task.


    For the first time, she felt that being beautiful was a crime.


    However, the resentment that emerged from her heart made her mentality start to distort. She started thinking, if it is necessary for her to sacrifice in order to complete the task, then after her Foundation Establishment, she will make sure to let others in the sect also taste the bitterness of her sorrow.


    However, the result was completely different from what she imagined. The infamous top Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect turned out to be a person of extreme sincerity.


    The moment she arrived at Xiao Nanshan, her nervousness seemed to be seen through by his clear and bright eyes, and she was immediately placed under the care of sister Zhuo on Court Mountain.


    Zhuo Ming was a person of utmost sincerity. Even before the sowing started, she took Xue Ting to the Spirit Fields on the mountains to teach her the techniques and secrets of Fire Spirit Rice cultivation.


    And on New Year¡¯s Day, the scene she saw at the top of Xiao Nanshan shocked her to the core.


    Could there really exist such a harmonious master-disciple relationship in the Eastern Wilderness?


    Xue Ting used to undertake various tasks to earn contribution points for the sect, and she was familiar with many disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, knowing full well that this sect was no different from Snow-Blowing Palace.


    Therefore, the intimate master-disciple relationship in Xiao Nanshan can only be said to be unique to this school.


    Perhaps for this reason, Xue Ting became genuinely curious about Chen Mobai for the first time. The more she got to know him, the more she admired him.


    He was a real genius and an idealist.


    If she were to use one word to describe him, Xue Ting thought he might be a ¡°saint¡±.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s leave it here for the morning. Come with me to rinse some Spiritual Rice and pick some fruits and vegetables.¡±


    At this time, Zhuo Ming planted the last seedling in this acre of Spiritual Land. She stood up and clapped her hands clean, beckoning Xue Ting to prepare lunch with her.


    On the other side, Chen Mobai also stopped. As a master, naturally, he took this opportunity to rest.


    Luo Yixuan went over to prepare with Zhuo Ming.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In a short while, cooked spiritual rice, roasted spiritual chicken, and a pot of vegetable soup were brought to Chen Mobai.


    Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan skillfully sat on either side of Chen Mobai, already eating their served rice. Only Xue Ting stood there, not knowing what to do.


    ¡°Junior Niece Xue Ting, sit down, don¡¯t be restrained, just enjoy.¡±


    After listening to Chen Mobai¡¯s invitation, she knelt on the grass with some trepidation. Zhuo Ming handed over a bowl of chopsticks, and she shallowly served herself a bowl of soup which she slowly sipped.


    ¡°The green jade spiritual rice may feel a bit hard when you chew, but the spiritual effect is gentle. Have a taste.¡±

 Chapter 733 - Chapter 733: Chapter 433 "Saint" (8k)_4

    Chapter 733: Chapter 433 ¡°Saint¡± (8k)_4


    Chen Mobai noticed Xue Ting¡¯s restraint and gestured to Zhuo Ming to stop focusing on her own meal so much and serve her a bowl as well.


    His junior disciple obediently did as asked.


    ¡°Thank you, but this Rank-2 Spirit Rice is too precious.¡±


    Xue Ting, somewhat awkward, delayed accepting the Green Jade Spirit Rice from Zhuo Ming. She had been on Xiao Nanshan for over a month and had become familiar with Xiao Nanshan¡¯s talent for cultivating spiritual plants.


    This Green Jade Spirit Rice, being one of two types of Rank-2 Spirit Rice, is as valuable as the crystal Spirit Rice of their Snow-blowing Palace. It was such a rare delicacy that not even her master, Lan Lingping, could necessarily have it at every meal.


    ¡°Eat up. This stuff will soon be all over the place.¡±


    Zhuo Ming said and promptly thrust the bowl into Xue Ting¡¯s hands. She then picked up her own bowl, finishing it clean, and served herself another heaping one.


    By this time, Luo Yixuan had only eaten a small portion of her bowl.


    ¡°Senior sister has a great appetite.¡±


    Seeing this, Luo Yixuan couldn¡¯t help expressing her admiration.


    Having been under Chen Mobai¡¯s tutelage for many years, she understood the benefits of eating Spirit Rice at every meal¨C it strengthened one¡¯s inner organs, boosted vitality, and during Foundation Establishment, it could greatly conserve energy at the critical transition of marrow cleansing.


    However, she was only at the Qi Cultivating Realm, so she could only have Rank-1 Spirit Rice at every meal. Rank-2 Spirit Rice could only be eaten every few days.


    Zhuo Ming used to be the same, but since she started practicing the introductory stage of the Nine-foot Law Body technique, things had changed.


    Now, she could manage Rank-2 Spirit Rice once a day without worrying about her body being unable to digest it.


    Additionally, Zhuo Ming¡¯s demand for Spirit Chickens and Spirit Fish had also increased.


    That was a sign of having entered the introductory stage of the Nine-foot Law Body. Initially, Ji Dao Yuan had consumed nutrient-rich Spirit Beast meat for over a decade. After cultivating his Divine Sense, he began using various vigorous blood and energy supplemental medicines to assist him, barely managing to cultivate the first level of the Nine-foot Law Body during the Qi Cultivation.


    Zhuo Ming, however, did not set high demands for herself. If not for the desire to not disgrace the Xiao Nanshan line, and the need to make it to the true disciples list in the sect¡¯s tournament in order to obtain a Foundation Building Pill, she probably wouldn¡¯t bother with this Body Cultivation technique.


    But her Earth Mother Cultivation had allowed her to comprehend the essence of the earth while farming, making her Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques much more effective. Therefore, after eating Spirit Rice for two years, she unexpectedly managed to get the hang of this Body Cultivation technique deemed the most difficult in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Upon mastering it, Zhuo Ming¡¯s appetite greatly increased.


    Luckily, being under Chen Mobai, there was no stinginess with Spirit Stones. Not only did they receive bonuses at the end of each year, but all sorts of Spirit Rice were available, and there was no shortage of Spirit Birds, Spirit Fish, and Spirit Vegetables either.


    The Supplements for the first stage of Nine-foot Law Body, though different from regular medicinal pills for cultivation enhancement and virtually free of dan toxicity, were still turned into a medicinal liquor by Chen Mobai at Yan Jinye¡¯s invitation.


    This required daily consumption but guaranteed no dan toxicity harm.


    So, after the three of them finished eating, Xue Ting watched in astonishment as Zhuo Ming took a gourd from her storage bag, pulled out the stopper to release a rich aroma of wine, then lifted her slender neck and gulped down several mouthfuls.


    ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought that Senior Sister Zhuo is such a heavy drinker.¡±


    Among the female cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness, Xue Ting had never heard of anyone who drinks. Zhuo Ming¡¯s easy-going nature made her even more envious.


    Only under the guidance of a saint-like master like this could one maintain such purity and innocence, right?


    ¡°Rest for a while. If you two have any cultivation related questions, feel free to ask me.¡±


    After the meal, Chen Mobai lazily lay down on the lawn. However, since his disciples had just asked him questions during the New Year¡¯s festivities, both shook their heads when he suggested it.


    ¡°What about Niece Xue Ting?¡±


    Being a good mentor, Chen Mobai turned to the diligent Xue Ting, who was still busily cleaning up the leftover food, and asked.


    ¡°Erm¡­I can¡¯t think of any questions at the moment.¡±


    After hesitating, Xue Ting, still rather cautious, dared not to ask.


    Chen Mobai heard her and simply ignored it, closing his eyes to contemplate the assembly of the Featureless Puppet.


    He stayed on Xiao Nanshan for five days.


    The first day he personally planted the Green Jade Spirit Rice seedlings. After confirming there were no issues, he spent the next two days controlling a seed-sowing puppet to do the work.


    Zhuo Ming¡¯s fifty-acre Spirit Field for Rank-2 crops was swiftly filled with Green Jade Spirit Rice with ease.


    ¡°This is, after all, the first time we¡¯ve planted on such a large scale. There might be unexpected issues, so you guys will have to work hard to guide the farmers in meticulous care.¡±


    Upon finishing the planting, Chen Mobai was ready to retreat for cultivation. Before leaving, naturally, he had to instruct his two disciples.


    Noticing Xue Ting also nodding in agreement, he didn¡¯t mind; instructed his students and then gracefully took off in his ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡±, flying to the top of Xiao Nanshan.


    Then, the Cloud Mist Array was activated, enveloping the little wooden house on top of the mountain.


    ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought, the notorious Chen Uncle in the outside world is actually a person so simple and unpretentious behind closed doors.¡±


    Watching Chen Mobai leaving, Xue Ting couldn¡¯t help but mutter to herself.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    He is touted as the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s top Sword Cultivator, but throughout their time together, she had never felt the keen aura of a top Sword Cultivator from him.


    It must be that his Sword Dao had returned to its natural simplicity, rendering him indistinguishable from a simple farming hermit.


    ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯ve never seen our master on the battlefield, he was quite fierce when fighting for Shake Mountain Peak.¡±


    Hearing Xue Ting¡¯s murmur, Luo Yixuan shook her head and responded.


    She always believed that the Way of Farming was just one cultivation art chosen by her master to sharpen his sword fighting intent.

 Chapter 734 - Chapter 734: Chapter 433 Sage (8k)_5

    Chapter 734: Chapter 433 ¡®Sage¡¯ (8k)_5


    The essence of a master is a divine sword that will dazzle for all eternity!


    Of course, Chen Mobai had no idea that in the eyes of his young disciple, he was quickly becoming more than human.


    After confirming with Chu Zuoshu that there would be no large-scale conflicts with Mountain Shaker Peak in the near future, Chen Mobai left his puppet body behind and returned to the other side of the fairy gate.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for the delay in getting the core chip fabricated.¡±


    After returning to the studio at the Heavenly Machines Factory, Chen Mobai first apologized to Chai Lun. As the chief engineer of the factory, Zhou Tiangong was usually very busy, so the two of them were basically the only ones using the studio.


    ¡°That¡¯s fine, the bureaucracy at the Repairing Heaven Institute is very heavy. I would have been surprised if you had not delayed me.¡±


    Chai Lun previously ordered core chips from the Repairing Heaven Institute and had prepaid the whole amount, but each time it took a while for the entire process to be completed.


    So he nodded in understanding, handed Chen Mobai the skeletal structure of an arm that he had assembled over the past several days, and asked him to check if it had any problems.


    [I feel that the Repairing Heaven Institute is actually quite quick.]


    Chen Mobai thought about his two collaborations with the Repairing Heaven Institute. It seemed that as soon as the money was in place, they immediately arranged for the order to be made.


    Maybe it was because he had used his connections.


    Chen Mobai didn¡¯t talk anymore about this. He meticulously inspected the skeletal structure of the arm that Chai Lun had assembled and found three small problems.


    He patiently explained them to Chai Lun, then had him disassemble it and reassemble them.


    A month later.


    Chen Mobai finally understood why Chai Lun had roared in frustration when he was teaching him. Although he had handed over the blueprints, Chai Lun did not know the Assembly of the Formless Puppet as well as he did. Each time they assembled it, or printed parts, they encountered unexpected problems.


    Several times they thought they had succeeded in assembling it, but when they channeled spiritual energy into it, they found that it could not light up.


    After checking again, they found that a wire may have been connected wrongly or a part may be sized incorrectly.


    Since the assembly of the Formless Puppet needed high precision, an error margin of 0.01 millimeters was unacceptable. However, Chai Lun¡¯s concept was still at 0.1 millimeters, so many parts that had been printed by him had to be discarded and reprinted.


    This meant that the work they had done over the past month was largely wasted.


    At this moment, Chen Mobai felt an overwhelming urge to curse.


    However, he certainly wouldn¡¯t take it out on Chai Lun. After consoling him, they reprinted these irregular parts together.


    And Chai Lun, being an excellent puppet master, would not repeat his mistakes. Consequently, as their cooperation matured, the assembly and construction process actually sped up.


    Time slipped by as they worked with dedication.


    By the time Wenren Xuewei delivered the materials for biogenetics, they had actually completed the skeletal structure of the Formless Puppet.


    What was left was to use various materials from bionics to simulate human meridians, blood vessels, visceral flesh, and so forth.


    This would require the help of Wenren Xuewei. Although Chen Mobai had a perfect theoretical understanding, he could expect to make multiple errors if he tried to cover the skeletal structure with the materials.


    ¡°These small electronic components that simulate neurons are also very crucial. They need to be set in the corresponding positions when you cover them with biogenetic materials. This will make the skeletal structure form a connection with the biogenetic meridians, blood vessels, viscera, flesh, etc, if any one of them is misplaced, we will have to cut it open and redo it.¡±


    To guarantee success, Chen Mobai repeated the relevant knowledge to Wenren Xuewei again and again.


    Wenren Xuewei nodded solemnly, confirming that she understood everything and had no doubts.


    However, after the actual coverage was completed, they still encountered issues with six neurons not having a connection.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, just consider it a minor surgery.¡±


    Seeing the guilty look on Wenren Xuewei¡¯s face, Chen Mobai comforted her gently, then opened his Void Spirit Eye, picked up a tool similar to a surgical knife, and cut open the biogenetic flesh over the Formless Puppet¡¯s shoulder, precisely finding an electronic component that hadn¡¯t been activated.


    Thankfully, the Formless Puppet had no sense of perception. Chen Mobai soon activated all the neurons. After confirmation that there were no issues, the three people in the studio breathed a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Next, I need your help, Senior Wenren, to regrow these six pieces of cut biogenetic flesh, then reapply and fuse them with the rest of the material.¡±


    Looking at the Formless Puppet with six small holes cut into it on the workstation, Chen Mobai felt a sense of accomplishment.


    Even though he relied on the strength of three companions, he was the leader of this project.


    This was the Formless Puppet, the peak of Daoist Academy¡¯s Puppetry Technique.


    At that moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s phone rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, he smiled and answered,


    ¡°Hello, teacher! Okay, it¡¯ll be delivered the day after tomorrow, I will be there then.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Chai Lun had already guessed what it was and was also excited: ¡°The chip manufacturing is complete, right?¡±


    ¡°Correct. Fu Borong is going to pay a visit to Professor Che Yucheng, so he will bring it over. I will go there to greet them.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, all three of them were overjoyed.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I would be the one slowing us down in the end. I¡¯ll go back to Jumang Daoist Academy right away and try to culture these six pieces of biogenetic flesh as soon as possible.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei said somewhat embarrassingly, then declined Chen Mobai¡¯s offer to see her off. She immediately booked a flight ticket for the same day and left.


    ¡°Have you decided what kind of magical treasure embryo you want the principal to order?¡±


    One day, Chen Mobai, wearing the Dancing Device Red and Black Robe, accompanied Che Yucheng to the airport to meet their guest. The latter suddenly asked him.


    wuxiaworld.site .co

 Chapter 735 - Chapter 735: Chapter 434 Pure Yang Qi_1

    Chapter 735: Chapter 434 Pure Yang Qi_1


    Chen Mobai had informed Che Yucheng about the impending completion of the Formless Puppet. This indicated that he was undoubtedly going to be the first one in the graduation project.


    Additionally, as the showcase chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy and being involved in the creation of a magical treasure embryo, he was already all but assured of success.


    Nevertheless, Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t thought much about this issue. After all, due to the scarcity of resources and absence of competition among the immortals, many Gold Core Cultivators didn¡¯t even possess a magic artifact.


    As a result, research on magic artifacts wasn¡¯t much emphasized among the immortals.


    On the other hand, the development of large instruments and appliances for everyday life was flourishing.


    Under this environment, Dance Tool Dao Academy could be considered the ancestral home of magic artifacts in the world of immortality.


    The Refining Implement Department was reputed to be the best in the world of immortals. Cheng Xuan had been the head of the department before forming his Nascent Soul.


    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m still uncertain. Could you give me some advice?¡±


    Chen Mobai, always eager to learn and humble, asked Che Yucheng immediately.


    ¡°The choice of magical artifacts has various schools, but we in Dance Tool Dao Academy classify it into two: ¡®Exploit Strengths, Avoid Weaknesses¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Exploiting Strengths involves refining a magic artifact that perfectly matches your own cultivation technique and constitution, thus fully displaying the areas you excel in.¡±


    ¡°Avoiding Weaknesses means using a magic artifact to compensate for the shortcomings of your cultivation technique, so the originally lethal problems become less lethal.¡±


    Che Yucheng explained briefly the understanding of magical artifacts in Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    After drinking Enlightenment Tea and consuming a lot of Snow Needle Immortal Buds, Chen Mobai had become a genius. He comprehended these words and suddenly realized that the principle of ¡®Exploit Strengths, Avoid Weaknesses¡¯ perfectly summed up the two uses of magical artifacts.


    ¡°So, Teacher, do you think I should ¡®Exploit Strengths¡¯ or ¡®Avoid Weaknesses¡¯?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked again, but Che Yucheng just shook his head this time, letting him make his own choice.


    ¡°A magical artifact is a part of your Dao Fruit in the latter half of your cultivation journey. No one else can make this decision for you.¡±


    Che Yucheng¡¯s words left Chen Mobai deep in thought.


    Just then, two people dressed in Repairing Heaven¡¯s Colored Cloud Garments walked over. One of them was Chen Mobai¡¯s acquaintance, the former chief instructor of Repairing Heaven Institute, Ling Dao Master.


    The other one was a cultured, middle-aged man with grey-black hair and glasses; it was Repairing Heaven Institute¡¯s Gold Core Cultivator, Fu Borong.


    ¡°Long time no see, you seem to have aged a bit?¡±


    Standing up, Che Yucheng shook hands with Fu Borong and said a remark that left the latter shaking his head and smiling wryly.


    ¡°Ever since the school ranking dropped to the fourth place under my watch, and the dean is also about to come out of seclusion, I have been worrying about how to explain this to him. I have hardly been able to sleep these two years.¡±


    During the offline exchange meeting of Jumang Dao Academy, Chen Mobai¡¯s single sword defeated everyone, pushing Dance Tool Dao Academy, which had always been ranked fourth, to the first place.


    In contrast, Wen Renxuewei, because of her successful Lasting Spring Cultivation, could not be surpassed by either Kunpeng or Repairing Heaven, causing the last place to be Repairing Heaven Institute unintentionally.


    Fu Borong was still the head of the academic affairs office of Repairing Heaven Institute. Since his tenure, the school had always managed to maintain the second rank.


    But suddenly dropping to the last place, the disparity was too great, and it was a little difficult for him to accept.


    ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯ve been sleeping really well.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Che Yucheng laughed heartily, not afraid of offending Fu Borong.


    ¡°This must be your outstanding disciple.¡±


    Fu Borong chose to ignore him. Turning to Chen Mobai, he reached out his hand.


    ¡°Nice to meet you, Teacher Fu. I¡¯m Chen Mobai, a student of Teacher Che.¡±


    Chen Mobai always behaved well in front of Gold Core Cultivators. Seeing Fu Borong¡¯s gesture, he immediately extended both hands to grasp the other¡¯s single hand.


    ¡°Youth deserves respect indeed.¡±


    Fu Borong smiled at Chen Mobai and resumed reminiscing and chatting with Che Yucheng after this remark.


    ¡°Long time no see, Senior Brother Ling.¡±


    As the two big shots were immersed in their conversation, Chen Mobai noticed Ling Dao Master standing by himself and took the initiative to greet him. He had wholly forgotten that he had beaten him bloody back at Jumang Dao Academy.


    ¡°Hello.¡±


    Ling Dao Master responded indifferently. He had chosen public service after graduation and via the arrangement of Repairing Heaven Institute, he was now a civil servant auditing various research resources from the world of immortality.


    He had accompanied Fu Borong this time as there was a long-standing project between Dance Tool Dao Academy and Repairing Heaven Institute that needed to be settled. He, as the auditor, needed to witness this. It was necessary to incorporate this transaction into the year-end accounts.


    Chen Mobai saw Ling Dao Master¡¯s nonchalant response, so he also didn¡¯t pester him. He simply smiled, standing beside them and watching the two big shots converse.


    ¡°In the midst of chatting, I almost forgot about this thing.¡±


    Suddenly, Fu Borong remembered the rank-3 Core Chip. With a gripping gesture in the thin air, a sealed transparent plastic box fell into his palm.


    Is this the domain of the Gold Core?


    While Chen Mobai was wondering about this, Che Yucheng had already received the core chip custom-made for the Formless Puppet. After he used his Divine Sense to check it thoroughly, he nodded satisfactorily.

    ¡°Well, this little fellow gave me some face. This thing is top quality.¡±


    After saying this, Che Yucheng gave the item to Chen Mobai, who immediately thanked Fu Borong.


    ¡°Truly, youth is to be feared. When I was at his age, I had just passed the rank-3 qualification.¡±


    Fu Borong expressed amazement at Chen Mobai¡¯s ability to produce a Formless Puppet while still in school, but the latter just humbly smiled.

 Chapter 736 - Chapter 736: Chapter 434 Pure Yang Qi_2

    Chapter 736: Chapter 434 Pure Yang Qi_2


    ¡°It¡¯s just average, mainly because I taught well.¡±


    At this time, Che Yucheng began to take credit for himself, because he knew Chen Mobai¡¯s recent popularity was too high, and felt the need to share the burden with this disciple.


    After all, the higher one is held, the harder one falls.


    ¡°You¡¯re certainly bluffing.¡±


    Fu Borong didn¡¯t give Che Yucheng any face because Chen Mobai¡¯s talent was one of the hottest topics in the Immortal Sect in recent years.


    After leaving the airport, the four of them quickly arrived at Crimson Mountain.


    Although Chen Mobai was no longer the student council president, arranging matters was still no problem. After leading Fu Borong and Ling Daoshi to their accommodation, he was about to leave,


    ¡°Little Chen, have you considered studying at our Repairing Heaven Institute for a few years?¡±


    Fu Borong suddenly stopped him and asked a question.


    ¡°Teacher Fu, I haven¡¯t planned on further education yet.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a shame. With your qualifications, if you were to further your studies at Repairing Heaven Institute, becoming one of the three great hall masters in the future wouldn¡¯t be impossible.¡±


    Fu Borong¡¯s words got Chen Mobai¡¯s heart pounding.


    Since its establishment, Repairing Heaven Institute has produced the most number of hall masters in the Immortal Sect.


    The current legal hall master was a graduate from the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Moreover, one of the Twin Sages of the Immortal Gate, Ancestor Qian Xing, also laid the foundation for Divinity Transformation by studying at the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Repairing Heaven Institute has always been the most popular Daoist academy in the Immortal Gate.


    When Chen Mobai was a child, his dream was to enter the Repairing Heaven Institute and become the Master of the Immortal Gate.


    ¡°I appreciate your kindness, Teacher Fu. I will give it some serious thought.¡±


    After thinking for a moment, Chen Mobai¡¯s tone softened a bit, and he did not flatly refuse anymore.


    ¡°I have heard that you are cultivating Pure Yang Scroll. The founder Yuan Yang was also a graduate of Repairing Heaven Institute, and we still keep many of his things, including a Pure Yang Qi. Nangong Xuanyu has been asking for it for a long time, but the dean did not agree. If you come, I can mention this matter to the dean.¡±


    Fu Borong¡¯s words made Chen Mobai slightly shake. Pure Yang Qi was a kind of True Qi that could only be refined after the Gold Core Perfection, which contained the true meaning of the Great Dao.


    Usually, being able to refine True Qi means that one can start trying Nascent Soul Formation.


    For example, Zhou Shengqing of Divine Wood Sect, who had reached the perfection of the Gold Core Cultivation, was already refining Longevity True Qi.


    If a cultivator of the Pure Yang Scroll could have Yuan Yang¡¯s Pure Yang Qi as reference, there would undoubtedly be a correct direction for Nascent Soul Formation.


    No wonder Nangong Xuanyu requested it from the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    ¡°I need to discuss this with Teacher Che.¡±


    Without a doubt, Chen Mobai was tempted, but he also knew that this would not be easy to obtain. In order to avoid being fooled, he had to ask Che Yucheng.


    ¡°Right, let¡¯s exchange contact information. If you decide to come to our institute, let me know in advance, and I¡¯ll arrange things for you.¡±


    After adding Fu Borong as a friend, Chen Mobai immediately went to Che Yucheng¡¯s office and told him about the matter.


    ¡°He did mention this to me, but I still think that you should make your own life decisions.¡±


    ¡°What I can confirm is that the Repairing Heaven Institute does indeed possess Pure Yang Qi left by Ancestor Yuan Yang.¡±


    ¡°However, this Pure Yang Qi is in the hands of Yuan Xu. Whether it can be given to you is not up to Fu Borong. It requires Yuan Xu¡¯s approval.¡±


    ¡°Think it over.¡±


    After thanking Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai left the building.


    With thoughts swirling in his mind, when he brought the core chip to the workshop of the Heavenly Craft Factory, he was somewhat absent-minded.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Chai Lun, this rough man, also noticed and asked.


    Chen Mobai thought about it and decided not to bring his personal matters here. He shook his head, suppressed the emotions in his heart, disassembled the core chip, and began to debug and check it.


    Although Che Yucheng had already looked it over, to play it safe, he might as well finish this while Fu Borong was still at the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    Before long, Zhou Tiangong also arrived. His Heavenly Factory worked closely with the Repairing Heaven Institute, often custom-making large-scale machinery core chips, so he had all kinds of experimental chip data equipment.


    He was a great help to Chen Mobai.


    After confirming that the core chip had no problems, they prepared to install the chip into the No-Phase Mannequin. This was also the most critical step, which required linkage with all the neurons to control the entire puppet.


    But they still needed to wait for Wen Ren Xuewei to bring the remaining bionic materials.


    Chen Mobai took the opportunity to rest for a few days.


    This also happened to be a good chance to think about his Magical Treasure Embryo and whether or not to go to the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    ¡°Brother, we haven¡¯t hung out together for a long time.¡±


    At a barbecue stand outside the campus, Chen Mobai and Ming Yuhua each downed a drink. But as they put down their glasses, Ming Yuhua¡¯s mood seemed a bit bitter.


    ¡°Ah, I¡¯ve worked so hard to restore a Rank-3 ancient treasure with the juniors of the Artifact Refining Department. I originally thought I could use this graduation project to secure the first place, but I didn¡¯t expect you to be so extraordinary.¡±


    Knowing that Chen Mobai had actually chosen the No-Phase Mannequin and had almost finished it, Ming Yuhua couldn¡¯t help but feel downcast.


    ¡°Brother, the headmaster won¡¯t just give the Magical Treasure Embryo to one person. Given your achievements, I guess you¡¯re only second to me. There¡¯s definitely a share for you.¡±


    Chen Mobai said to comfort him. As he spoke, he revealed the real purpose of inviting Ming Yuhua for a drink today.


    ¡°Brother, if you were in my shoes, what kind of Magical Treasure Embryo would you ask the headmaster to refine? I¡¯ve been troubled by this issue lately and came to seek your advice.¡±


    Chen Mobai sincerely sought advice from Ming Yuhua.


    ¡°Me? Definitely an Artifact Refining Furnace.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you already have a Mysterious Yang Cauldron of Rank-2 high quality?¡±


    ¡°I plan to let the headmaster modify my Mysterious Yang Cauldron as the base and turn this Cauldron into my Magical Treasure Embryo. This will save me the time of refining in the future, and I won¡¯t have to waste time re-sacrificing and getting used to it.¡±


    After hearing Ming Yuhua¡¯s plan, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but give him a thumbs up. Only an Artifact Refiner like him could think of this.


    Should I ask Cheng Xuan to modify my Six Yang Divine Flame Mirror into my Magical Treasure Embryo?


    It seems plausible. After all, because I had used the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method, I had already bound this Rank-3 Artifact to myself, making it my kind-of personal Magical Treasure.


    Before successfully practicing ¡°The Union of Differences,¡± it would be better to directly transform the Six Yang Divine Flame Mirror into my Magical Treasure since I was going to upgrade it anyway.


    Chen Mobai shared this idea with Ming Yuhua, but the latter shook his head after hearing it.


    ¡°After you¡¯ve used the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method, this Six Yang Divine Flame Mirror is essentially your Magical Treasure Embryo. If you let the headmaster make a move again, it would be a waste.¡±


    ¡°Brother, are you saying that I can have two Magical Treasures?¡±


    ¡°Not really, even a Gold Core cultivator can¡¯t afford to maintain two Magical Treasures. I just think you are at a loss in this case; you might as well not take first place.¡±


    Hearing what Ming Yuhua said, Chen Mobai felt it was really so. He had worked hard to gather a team and can¡¯t afford to spin his wheels.


    And, others can¡¯t afford to maintain two, but he can.


    Although his Good Deed Points were in negative numbers, his storage bag was full of Spirit Stones.


    Chen Mobai felt that not to mention two Magical Treasures, even three or four wouldn¡¯t be a problem.


    ¡°Old Chen, I remember there are several methods for refining the Pure Yang Treasure in the ancient Pure Yang Scroll. You can try this.¡±


    When they finished drinking and were about to say goodbye, Ming Yuhua suddenly remembered this and slapped his forehead, suggesting it to Chen Mobai.

    Now, the Pure Yang Scroll that the cultivators are practicing is revised by Yuan Xu¡¯s old ancestor, and it only contains Cultivation Methods and the Pure Yang Daoist Body.


    The original ancient Pure Yang Scroll is, however, quite obscure and difficult to understand.


    Luckily, this ancient book is in the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately went to the library to search for this information. He originally thought that it would be highly valuable, and he would need to ask Che Yucheng for approval before getting it. Unexpectedly, he found it easily in a corner.

 Chapter 737 - Chapter 737: Chapter 435: Pure Yang Treasure_1

    Chapter 737: Chapter 435: Pure Yang Treasure_1


    Upon opening the ancient Pure Yang Scroll, Chen Mobai found that it was all written in Classical Chinese, and many sections were filled with trade jargon such as Lead Mercury Fetal Incubation. Yet, with his current comprehension, he only understood about ten percent of it.


    Moreover, the cultivation techniques, spells, and magical artifacts were all written haphazardly¨Cthe layout was not very user-friendly either.


    After flipping through the entire ancient Pure Yang Scroll, Chen Mobai finally extracted all the sections pertaining to magical artifacts.


    They were namely the Primordial Yang Sword, Primordial Yang Mirror, Primordial Yang Bell, Primordial Yang Cauldron, Primordial Yang Immortal Robes, and Primordial Yang Treasure Beads.


    Among them, what intrigued Chen Mobai the most were the Primordial Yang Treasure Beads.


    Perfected in cultivation, this magical treasure could transform into a second Nascent Soul. If sufficient Innate Primordial Yang Purple Qi could be absorbed in the future, it could even evolve into a second Primordial Spirit¨Cequivalent to a clone of the Divinity Transformation Stage.


    To refine this treasure, one needs a fire attribute Spiritual Pearl which is rather common. However, this method can only take it up to Rank-4 at best, and it will be unable to transform into the second Primordial Spirit.


    To reach the peak, one needs a Spiritual Pearl containing the Innate Dao Rhythm. This will then enable it to absorb the Innate Primordial Yang Purple Qi.


    As for Chen Mobai, he undoubtedly wanted to accomplish it all in one step. Unfortunately, such materials were unheard of even in the Eastern Wilderness.


    Having gleaned the details on the Primordial Yang Treasure Beads, he then skimmed through the introductions of the other five Pure Yang Treasures, his excitement surging dramatically.


    In ancient times, cultivators of Pure Yang Scroll held a mirror in the left hand, a sword in the right, wore the Immortal Robes on their body, kept the Treasure Bead in their mouth, the Golden Bell on top of their head, and suspended the Treasure Cauldron by their feet. This ensemble was renowned as the ¡°Primordial Yang Set¡±.


    A cultivator in possession of the Primordial Yang Set was unquestionably invincible within the same realm. Their equipment was vast, comprehensive, and entirely flawless.


    Moreover, this set of magical treasures proved beneficial even during Tribulations¨Cit could effectively counteract both the Heavenly Tribulation and the Heart Demon Tribulation.


    However, since the era of the Immortal Gates, very few cultivators of the Pure Yang Scroll could afford such luxuries. Though Yuan Yang, the old ancestor, managed to cultivate the six-piece Primordial Yang Set, only his sword was Rank-5.


    This was because the sword was his life-bound magical treasure, hence it could naturally ascend alongside the cultivator¡¯s realm.


    Upon reading the details of the Primordial Yang Set, Chen Mobai found himself yearning. He had resources from the Tianhe Realm at his disposal. After reaching higher realms in the future, could he perhaps attempt to assemble one set himself?


    But that was a matter for the future. At present, his priority was to determine his life-bound magical artifact.


    It required thoughtful consideration, which prompted him to brood over taking the ancient Pure Yang Scroll home to study it more carefully.


    ¡°This is a copy. You can borrow it.¡±


    Overseeing the management of the Dao Academy Library was a Foundation Establishment teacher nearing retirement. He glanced at the Pure Yang Scroll and nodded, taking Chen Mobai¡¯s student card to process the loan.


    ¡°If you are interested in fire attribute magical artifacts, you can find ¡®Encyclopedia of Magical Tools Volume 4¡¯ on the C-7 bookshelf on the third floor. This book, edited by the school principal, cataloged such materials.¡±


    A reason was required for borrowing materials. Chen Mobai mentioned his considerations regarding the Magical Treasure Embryo. The librarian, who was from the Refining Implement Department, offered him a suggestion after hearing his intention.


    Chen Mobai thanked him and immediately borrowed that book as well.


    ¡®Encyclopedia of Magical Tools¡¯ was published by the Dance Tool Dao Academy and had a total of nine volumes. The fourth volume was entirely dedicated to fire attribute artifacts.


    After browsing through it, Chen Mobai found many tantalizing materials, such as Nine Fire Dragon Shield, Five Fire Seven-Feather Fan, Divine Fire Pillar, Fire Jade Heart Lotus, Purple Flame Golden Lamp, Fire Spirit Mysterious Bead, Beacon Fire Straw Mat, and much more.


    After reading the fourth volume of ¡®Encyclopedia of Magical Tools¡¯, Chen Mobai reviewed the Primordial Yang Set again.


    All of a sudden, he was stricken with indecision.


    Normally, he was accustomed to seeking the counsel of his teachers or searching online for answers in the face of difficulties. Now, he was left to make the decision by himself, leaving him absolutely bewildered and unsure.


    Standing by the window of his cabin, he gazed out at the surrounding green forest and the luxurious villa atop the hill¨Cfilled with fond memories, he took in a deep breath.


    Chen Mobai then opened the room¡¯s door and ventured deeper into the forested hill. Amongst the refreshingly crisp air, his thoughts began to clear.


    He carefully evaluated his strengths and weaknesses and decided it¡¯d be best to compensate for his shortcomings.


    After all, upon graduation, he would undoubtedly focus his attention on the Eastern Wilderness. There, every cultivator was skilled in magical duels. If he had any weaknesses, he would be targeted and easily taken advantage of.


    On the offensive front, his Sword Dao was already at its peak.


    On the defensive side, he had multiple Rank-2 and Rank-3 magical artifacts. Hence, there were hardly any threats within his realm.


    Only in terms of his Divine Sense was he inadequately protected. The Big Tree¡¯s sanctity had been significantly depleted when he repelled the Yinming Messenger¡¯s soul possession outside the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion. He wasn¡¯t sure if he¡¯d be able to resist another attempt.


    There was another consideration as well.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    After the Foundation Establishment, breaking into a higher realm would invoke the Heart Demon Tribulation. Chen Mobai wasn¡¯t too confident about himself.


    Moreover, the successor of The Divine Machine Mansion had prophesied that his Core Formation would face three tribulations. Although Chen Mobai had proactively prepared for it, intercourse with Meng Huang didn¡¯t guarantee he would have sufficient Divine Sense to break through to the Golden Core Stage. Thus, additional security was necessary.


    Hence, he wanted to refine a magical treasure that could suppress Heart Demon and guard the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion in order to solve this problem once and for all.


    After the winnowing, the options had come down to the Primordial Yang Bell from the Primordial Yang Set and the Fire Jade Heart Lotus from the Encyclopedia of Magical Tools.

 Chapter 738 - Chapter 738: Chapter 435 Pure Yang Treasure_2

    Chapter 738: Chapter 435 Pure Yang Treasure_2


    Among them, obtaining the Fire Jade Heart Lotus is relatively easy, requiring only a piece of fire-attribute jade and a red lotus that blooms deep within a volcano.


    For the fire-attribute jade, Chen Mobai could figure out a way to trade for a piece of thousand-year warm jade with the Snow-blowing Palace. The volcano red lotus can be found deep within the Treasure Trove, though it requires a considerable number of credits for exchange.


    A Rank-3 red lotus needs 200 credits.


    However, if Chen Mobai pooled together his credits by the end of the year, he would have enough.


    But compared to the Fire Jade Heart Lotus, he was more interested in the Pure Yang Bell, even though the functions of these two magic artifacts were nearly identical.


    However, the main material for the Fire Jade Heart Lotus, warm jade, could potentially expose his Turtle Treasure, and the potential for improvement was limited.


    In comparison, the Pure Yang Bell offered the possibility of forming a Primordial Yang Set, with far greater potential for future improvement.


    However, the materials for the Pure Yang Bell were difficult to gather. Furthermore, because it was to be crafted by a Nascent Soul cultivator, the origins of all the materials had to be clear. The main material for crafting the bell, Rank-3 red copper, was best purchased from the Immortal Sect¡¯s side.


    Chen Mobai looked up the prices online and found that if he wanted to create the Pure Yang Bell, he would likely need to spend nearly twenty million Good Deed Points purchasing red copper.


    Furthermore, Rank-3 red copper was regulated by the Immortal Sect, and as a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, he couldn¡¯t buy it yet.


    However, if he decided to choose the Pure Yang Bell as the embryo for his magical treasure, perhaps Master Cheng Xuan and Teacher Che Yucheng would help him out?


    If all else fails, he could choose Ming Yuhua¡¯s method and fabricate a bell-shaped artifact from the ¡°Device Nurturing Sphere¡±, then have the headmaster modify it. That way, he could save a lot on material costs.


    With these thoughts, Chen Mobai tentatively set the Pure Yang Bell as his first choice for his magical treasure embryo.


    After making the decision, he was suddenly free from his worries.


    After thanking Ming Yuhua over a phone call, Chen Mobai once again energetically dived into adjustments to the Faceless Puppet.


    Indeed, the peak of the Immortal Sect¡¯s Puppetry Technique was extraordinary, as they encountered a variety of problems during the debugging process.


    However, Chen Mobai overcame these challenges one by one while in a state of total comprehension. The replacing of components and other related tasks cost another one to two million Good Deed Points, but these costs were all counted on Zhou Tiangong¡¯s account.


    During this time, Wenren Xuewei was also regularly on a video call with them because the materials for Bionics could only be cultivated and created at the Jumang Daoist Academy.


    The items needed for recultivation were all ordered by Chen Mobai and then promptly arranged by her. The materials were then shipped at the fastest speed possible.


    They had initially predicted that they would complete it by the end of June, but ultimately, it was dragged out until the end of August.


    However, no one complained because they saw the Faceless Puppet become more and more perfect each day.


    By the time it was finally complete, the expressionless puppet, standing in the middle of the workshop looking similar to a human figure, drew contented smiles from Chen Mobai, his two companions, and even Wenren Xuewei, who was on the video call.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try to activate it.¡±


    Zhou Tiangong took out a spirit stone that had been charged by the Immortal Sect, expertly placed it in the puppet¡¯s head, then inputted a Qi Cultivation technique and began the process of Foundation Establishment.


    In the cluttered workshop filled with various parts and tools, the Faceless Puppet gradually became transparent. Its meridians, bones, and internal organs slowly emerged.


    Under the tense gazes of the four individuals, the number wheel situated in the puppet¡¯s left eye began to slowly rotate, moving from ¡°zero¡± to ¡°one¡±.


    It then quickly became ¡°nine¡±, signifying the beginning of the simulated Foundation Establishment process.


    Seeing this scene in front of them, the foursome couldn¡¯t help but feel overjoyed, exchanging high fives.


    More than half a year¡¯s effort had finally yielded perfect results today.


    ¡°The three of you have worked hard.¡±


    Although Wenren Xuewei wasn¡¯t physically there, she empathized with them and gave them a gentle round of applause, smiling warmly at the three through the video call.


    ¡°You¡¯ve also worked hard, senior sister.¡±


    Although Wenren Xuewei had only been there three or four times, without her help at Jumang Daoist Academy, the progress of the Faceless Puppet might have been delayed by a year or two.


    ¡°Senior sister, you should come and celebrate with us. The day after tomorrow, we¡¯re going to the Immortal Sect¡¯s Certification Department to apply for certification for the Faceless Puppet. As long as we pass, the four of us can get our Rank-3 Puppet Master certificates.¡±


    Chen Mobai invited Wenren Xuewei, who was on the video call. She nodded her agreement. It was such an important occasion; she needed to be there in person.


    Afterwards, Chen Mobai filmed a video of the operational Faceless Puppet and sent it to Che Yucheng, attaching a short message.


    [Teacher, I¡¯ve done it.]


    In his office, Che Yucheng, who was reading a newspaper, glanced at the video on his mobile screen and involuntarily held his breath. A sense of indescribable satisfaction appeared on his aged face.


    [Good job, you can graduate now.]


    Seeing this message, Chen Mobai couldn¡¯t help but smile, though he remained humble.


    [I still have a lot to learn.]


    Laughing heartily, Che Yucheng watched the video of the Faceless Puppet operating over and over, and eventually couldn¡¯t resist visiting Chen Mobai¡¯s workshop in person.


    ¡°Master Che!¡±


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    All three present were students of Che Yucheng, their faces full of reverence when they saw him.


    ¡°You¡¯ve all done excellent.¡±


    Touching the Faceless Puppet, which although still lacking some refinement was already functionally complete, a look of delight filled Che Yucheng¡¯s face.


    ¡°The professional certification for Rank-3 Puppet Masters has to go through me, as I am the authority on the Faceless Puppet. There¡¯s nothing wrong with yours; you will definitely get the Rank-3 certificates.¡±

 Chapter 739 - Chapter 739: Chapter 435: Pure Yang Treasure _3

    Chapter 739: Chapter 435: Pure Yang Treasure _3


    After checking everything personally, Che Yucheng said something that delighted Chen Mobai and his group even more.


    When Wen Renxuewei arrived and the four of them took the Faceless Puppet to the Immortal Door for verification, it immediately alarmed Hong Mengkui, the lord of Crimson City Cave Heaven.


    The Rank-3 certification for a Puppet Master is different from other Rank-3 professions, the only standard is the Faceless Puppet.


    The Faceless Puppet is something that only the four Daoist Academies possess. Even the top ten colleges can¡¯t produce it.


    With this certificate, the four of them, if willing to refine the Faceless Puppet, could be offered an astronomical price by the top ten colleges to invite them over.


    However, among these four, three graduated from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and one is a disciple of Long-lasting Dao Spring Cultivation from Jumang Daoist Academy; they would definitely not go to the top ten colleges.


    ¡°Please wait a moment, I¡¯ll call Che Yucheng for verification.¡±


    Sure enough, after Hong Mengkui attempted some of the functions of the Faceless Puppet himself, he made them sit and called Che Yucheng personally.


    On the other end of the call, Che Yucheng acted in disbelief, shocked that there were juniors in the Immortal Gate who could refine the Faceless Puppet.


    ¡°Oh, so it was my disciples who accomplished this. No wonder then.¡±


    When Che Yucheng arrived and saw Chen Mobai, he acted as though he had just understood something.


    Hong Mengkui, who was on the side, felt a bit uncomfortable after listening to him.


    On the contrary, the leaders of the professional certification department of the Immortal Gate immediately followed Che Yucheng¡¯s words and praised them. They all admired that the Dance Tool Dao Academy was indeed the number one university in the Immortal Gate, and Chen Mobai was truly deserving of the Qualification of Deification¡­.


    After a long bout of praise, under the gaze of everyone, Che Yucheng demonstrated all expected functions of the Faceless Puppet, including performance, calculation, cultivation, magic duel, and protection, etc.


    After ensuring there were no issues in any aspect, Che Yucheng ticked all the boxes on a form, signed his own name, and stamped it with his professional seal.


    Chen Mobai looked at it and realized it was the seal of a Rank-4 Puppet Master.


    ¡°Among the Immortals, there are only two Rank-4 Puppet Masters, Che Yucheng and Master Xin Ji from Jumang Daoist Academy. To reward them for their groundbreaking achievement of the Faceless Puppet, after Master Xin Ji passed away, only Che Yucheng remains.¡±


    Seeing Chen Mobai looking puzzled, Wen Renxuewei explained.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai seemed to understand. He had heard of this before.


    ¡°What kind of person was Master Xin Ji?¡±


    After seeing Che Yucheng complete the verification of the Faceless Puppet and start chatting with Hong Mengkui, and the staff of the Immortal Gate Professional Certification Department had gone to produce the Rank-3 Puppet Master certificates and stamps for the four of them, Chen Mobai started a conversation with Wen Renxuewei.


    ¡°He was a versatile scholar. Among the students of the Four Daoist Academies of his time, no one was his match, almost like you are now.¡±


    Chen Mobai became curious at this.


    He was currently considered as one with the Qualification of Deification.


    ¡°Master Yuan Xu of the Repairing Heaven Institute was in the same class as Master Xin Ji, but was known as ¡®the eternal second¡¯ because he couldn¡¯t outperform Master Xin Ji.¡±


    Chen Mobai was shocked when he heard this.


    Who was Master Yuan Xu? He was the only recipient of the ¡°Flying Immortal Award¡± in the last thousand years among the Immortals, known as having half of the existence the Transformation God Level.


    The fact that Master Xin Ji could suppress him¡­ That meant he could be compared with Chen Mobai who had the Qualification of Deification.


    ¡°The loss of such a hero is indeed a great loss for the Immortal Gate.¡±


    Chen Mobai lamented. Logically speaking, since Master Xin Ji had been more outstanding than Master Yuan Xu in his youth, he should have reached the stage of ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±.


    However, he only reached the Golden Core Realm and passed away thirty years ago.


    This proved that being intelligent at a young age doesn¡¯t necessarily mean the same in adulthood.


    Chen Mobai realized he couldn¡¯t become complacent due to his current achievements at school. He needed to stay humble, work hard, and strive to improve himself, aiming to become like Master Yuan Xu, not Master Xin Ji.


    ¡°In fact, Master Xin Ji initially had hope for the ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±, but due to the successive death of his adept partner and daughter, his Dao heart became desolate, and ultimately, the ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡± failed. Afterwards, he got somewhat obsessed¡­¡±


    When she spoke to this point, Wen Renxuewei suddenly hesitated and didn¡¯t continue.


    Chen Mobai glanced at her, he hates it when people leave sentences unfinished.


    ¡°Did Master Xin Ji die of obsession?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure. A lot of his dossiers in the Immortal Gates were actually altered and deleted. Because I practice the Long-lasting Spring Cultivation, I have higher privileges in the Daoist Academies, so I know a bit about his life after his failed attempt at ¡°Nascent Soul Formation¡±. He spent the rest of his life trying to resurrect his adept partner and daughter, and the Faceless Puppet was one of his attempts.¡±


    Perhaps Chen Mobai¡¯s talent exhibited over the past few days had won Wen Renxuewei over, she hesitated for a while, then suddenly used a secret transmission technique to relay these words to Chen Mobai¡¯s ears.


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai was shocked: ¡°Resurrecting partner and daughter with puppets? How could such an earth-shattering thing be possible?¡±


    ¡°Others may not be able to make it, but I believe it is possible for Master Xin Ji. He was a Rank-4 professional in alchemy, medicine, puppetry, bionics, human cell engineering, spiritology, etc. He could potentially find a way.¡±


    Wen Renxuewei shook her head. Originally, she didn¡¯t believe in these things either. But until nine years ago at the new-student induction ceremony at the Daoist Academy, she saw that person.


    ¡°But Master Xin Ji passed away in the end right? He must not have accomplished the resurrection, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai said again, believing that resurrection was impossible.


    ¡°There¡¯s something I don¡¯t know if I should tell you.¡±


    Wen Renxuewei¡¯s remark made Chen Mobai raise his eyebrows. He despised those who beat around the bush.


    However, recalling that the last person who did this in front of him was the heir of The Divine Machine Mansion, he immediately began to ask for advice humbly.


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Feel free to speak.¡±

    Wen Renxuewei: ¡°Qing Nu is your friend, right?¡±


    Chen Mobai: ¡°Yes, the best kind.¡±


    Wen Renxuewei: ¡°She looks exactly like Master Xin Ji¡¯s daughter.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Mobai was instantly shocked on the spot, unable to utter a word.

 Chapter 740 - Chapter 740: Chapter 436: The War Begins_1

    Chapter 740: Chapter 436: The War Begins_1


    Chen Mobai had once suspected Qing Nu¡¯s background.


    However, after hearing what Kong Feichen was saying about their childhood, Chen Mobai felt that the undercurrents ran deep, and it¡¯s better for him not to know.


    But after hearing what Wen Renxuewei said today, coupled with what he already knew, Chen Mobai felt like he was lost in a fog, sensing that there might be a significant secret of the Celestial World hidden within.


    He recalled the time when he was at Jumang Daoist Academy, where Kong Feichen handed over the Devouring Heaven Serpent to him, and mentioned that it involved the three Hall Master of the Celestial World.


    If it was indeed true, even Nascent Soul realm lords might not be able to cover it.


    Chen Mobai started to worry about Qing Nu. As one of his best friends, he had a good understanding of her personality.


    She is in the Repair Heaven group, and he didn¡¯t know if she would heed advice. If she were still investigating their childhood, the closer she got to the truth, the deeper she might sink into the abyss.


    ¡°Does anyone else know about this other than you?¡±


    Chen Mobai asked with a stern face. Wen Renxuewei hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.


    ¡°The principal knows about it, but she asked me not to mind it and just treat it as a common student affair.¡±


    The principal of Jumang Daoist Academy is Tao Hua.


    However, as a Heavenly Spiritual Root, before Qing Nu was exempted from the academy entrance examination, all her details must have been scrutinized by Jumang Daoist Academy.


    The matter of their childhood, with the power and influence of Jumang Daoist Academy, they would definitely know part of the truth. Since Tao Hua takes such an attitude, at least the Celestial World has a friendly attitude towards Qing Nu, who is a Heavenly Spiritual Root.


    Listening to Wen Renxuewei¡¯s words, Chen Mobai felt a little relieved.


    However, in his heart, he had remembered this matter. In the future, if he could hold a high position in the Celestial World, he would definitely revisit this matter.


    ¡°Thank you, senior sister, for reminding me.¡±


    Chen Mobai thanked Wen Renxuewei politely, who smiled gently in return.


    At this time, the Certification Department of the Celestial World had already prepared their Rank-3 Puppet Master certificates and seals.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, it¡¯s rare for you to come here. I¡¯m hosting today. You four should come along as well.¡±


    On the other side, Hong Mengkui had already invited Che Yucheng to catch up on old times, and he waved at Chen Mobai and the others.


    The six of them arrived at a tastefully decorated restaurant in Crimson City. The two big shots sat down to chat over tea, even mentioning Bian Jingchun.


    ¡°I have yet to thank you for letting her use the True Dragon Ding for her cultivation.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a small matter. No matter how top-ranked the Magic Artifact is, it can only play a role when used. Besides being your disciple, she is also a graduate of our academy. If I can help set the foundation of her Core Formation and Dragon Transformation, it would be a merit of my tenure.¡±


    Che Yucheng said, downplaying the matter. As the dean of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, although he was distracted by various chores on ordinary days, he always prioritized education.


    Chen Mobai had been in the academy for nearly a decade and had never seen Che Yucheng missing a single puppetry class.


    Speaking of Bian Jingchun, Chen Mobai had almost completely forgotten his senior sister.


    It seems that she still uses the True Dragon Ding for her Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique cultivation in Treasure Trove. I wonder how many Spirit Stones she has to give up to use the Rank-4 Magic Artifact?


    The profits of the True Dragon Ding should be less than that of the Purple Electric Sword. If he wants to cultivate the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique in the future, he certainly cannot offer such high compensation again.


    Now, Chen Mobai regretted giving a top-grade Spirit Stone to the Purple Electric Sword every year. If he had known this earlier, he would have consulted Pei Qingshuang about the market situation and potentially saved more than half.


    After completing the formless puppet, Chen Mobai had finished his graduation project from the Dance Tool Dao Academy in advance.


    After celebrating for two days with his three partners Zhou Tiangong, Chai Lun, and Wen Renxuewei, they all went their separate ways.


    After all, each of them is a True Cultivator. Even the worst among them, Chai Lun, is the owner of a company. He hasn¡¯t taken any orders because of the formless puppet project, and he now urgently needs to go back and save his puppet-making company from bankruptcy.


    Zhou Tiangong, as the chief engineer of the Heavenly Work Factory, is the busiest of the four. He could only stay half a day at the celebration.


    Finally, it was Chen Mobai who saw off Wen Renxuewei and Chai Lun.


    ¡°I¡¯m probably going to reach Core Formation soon. You have to hurry up too. Don¡¯t make us wait too long.¡±


    Before leaving, Wen Renxuewei teased Chen Mobai, which made him slightly stunned.


    ¡°Lasting Spring Cultivation is really incredible.¡±


    Listening on the side, Chai Lun, was full of admiration. In the entire Celestial World, it is only Wen Renxuewei who doesn¡¯t need to wait for the Gold Core Spiritual Material.


    ¡°I may still need twenty years. After all, I still need to cultivate my Pure Yang Daoist Body to the six Yang realm.¡±


    Chen Mobai thought about his plan of Core Formation, his heart moved slightly, and he took this opportunity to reveal a bit of his plans for the future in front of his two good friends.


    ¡°Oh, could it be that you have inherited work experience from your predecessor?¡±

    Chai Lun looked surprised. Apart from that, even the Generation-2 Celestial like Pei Qingshuang needs to wait sixty years to be eligible to exchange for the Gold Core Spiritual Material.


    ¡°I want to try to reach Core Formation without the Gold Core Spiritual Material.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s calm statement sparked a glimmer in Wen Renxuewei¡¯s eyes.


    She looked at the handsome and confident young man in front of her, a different spark appearing in her eyes.

    Chapter 741: Chapter 436 War Begins_2


    ¡°What you¡¯re saying isn¡¯t necessarily impossible. But failing at Core Formation isn¡¯t the same as failing at Foundation Establishment. Many people might only get one shot in their lifetime. You¡¯re highly talented. If you get held up at this step and don¡¯t fully realize your potential, it¡¯d be a great loss for the Immortal Sect and the Daoist Academy. So think it over carefully.¡±


    Chai Lun was mature and prudent. He cared a lot about his junior Chen Mobai and was afraid that Chen¡¯s qualifications for Deification would meet an untimely end. Hence, he felt compelled to offer a word of advice.


    ¡°The one chance you¡¯re talking about is because, in the Immortal Sect system, most people can only trade for one Gold Core Spiritual Material.¡±


    ¡°If I try to form my core without using the Gold Core Spiritual Material first, even if I fail, not only would I have gained experience, it wouldn¡¯t affect my exchange for the Gold Core Spiritual Material.¡±


    ¡°Thus, during my second attempt at Core Formation, with the help of the pill, my chances of success will actually increase.¡±


    Chen Mobai offered a seemingly plausible explanation. However, after hearing it, Chai Lun realized that it indeed made sense and started to contemplate whether he could do the same.


    ¡°Without a Gold Core Spiritual Material to protect your Dantian and Purple Palace, the backlash of failing at Core Formation could cripple the Taoist Body of most cultivators. Junior Brother Chen, it¡¯s better if you¡¯re more cautious.¡±


    Wenren Xuewei, who relied on her exquisite Lasting Spring Cultivation, had attempted Core Formation several times and possessed the most extensive experience in this regard within the Immortal Sect. Her words broke Chai Lun¡¯s reverie.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t rush during my first attempt at Core Formation. If I sense any signs of failure, I¡¯ll disperse my spiritual power. Worst case scenario, I¡¯ll just start over. It won¡¯t take more than a few decades.¡±


    Having heard Chen Mobai speak with such certainty, Wenren Xuewei and Chai Lun didn¡¯t press further.


    After seeing them off, Chen Mobai returned to Crimson Mountain.


    ¡°So, what¡¯s your next plan?¡±


    In the office of Building One, the master and disciple were chatting over tea with satisfaction.


    ¡°I kind of want to go to the Repairing Heaven Institute.¡±


    Facing Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai saw no need to hide anything, so he gave an honest answer.


    ¡°I approve of this. Though I hate to admit it, the fact is that Repairing Heaven does indeed possess the most substantial influence among all Immortal Sects. If you went there to pack some gold, it would make your future endeavors within the system much easier.¡±


    Among the high-ranking cultivators of the Immortal Sect, nearly half have backgrounds related to the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    Their Divinity Transformation Qian Xing¡­


    The Xianwu Hall Master and Zhengfa Hall Master¡­


    Moreover, the current principals of Taiyuan Academy, Primordial Elemental Academy, and the Astral Observation Academy, Yuan Xu, Qing Ping, and Mei Hua respectively, have all studied at the Repairing Heaven Institute.


    If Chen Mobai had a background in the Repairing Heaven Institute, the starting point of his future career could be very high, and he might even have a real chance of becoming one of the three grand Hall Masters.


    ¡°Besides, if you can learn from the Guidance Book, it would be very helpful for your future breakthroughs and cultivation.¡±


    Che Yucheng added another point. Among the seven Divine Transformation Cultivation Techniques of the Immortal Sect, the Guidance Book, although a Cultivation Technique, was more of a cultivation practice for divine consciousness and mentality. It was compatible with any other Cultivation Technique, and acclaimed as the number one auxiliary divine technique of the Immortal Sect.


    After listening, Chen Mobai recalled the scene of his battle with Daoist Master Lou Fengcheng at the Jumang Daoist Academy. Although both of them were no match for him, under a situation of inevitable defeat, they almost probed all his cards.


    That mode of fighting with the purest rationality, having entirely forgotten himself, had left a deep impression on Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Then I¡¯m going to apply to Principal Fu Borong.¡±


    After discussing with Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai decided where to go after graduation.


    Since he had completed the No-Phase Puppet and secured the first place in the graduation project, he didn¡¯t need to stay at the Daoist Academy for the next six months.


    After leaving Building One, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then gave Yan Bingxuan a call.


    [After graduating, I plan on studying at the Repairing Heaven Institute for five years.]


    [Okay, let me apply right away.]


    After saying these words, the two fell silent.


    Yan Bingxuan was a person of few words in the first place, and Chen Mobai didn¡¯t know how to handle his feelings for her. A few more words of small talk later, they hung up.


    Would she succeed in getting into Repairing Heaven?


    Chen Mobai thought it over and found that he kind of hoped she would fail, just so he wouldn¡¯t have to face her.


    Yet on scrutinizing his feelings, he found that he wanted her to succeed.


    He wanted to recreate their school memories.


    During high school, the two of them only really came into contact with each other during the last month before the National College Entrance Examination. Yet, even those few interactions were rare and beautiful memories for Chen Mobai.


    If they spent five years at the Repairing Heaven Institute, would these memories become even more beautiful?


    Thinking like this, a smile appeared on Chen Mobai¡¯s lips.


    Right then, he suddenly sensed his Pure Yang Spiritual Power inside his Dantian Qi Sea, influenced by his emotions, beginning to condense and elevate rapidly.


    It was time to break through!


    Chen Mobai realized this and smiled slightly.


    He teleported from his wooden house to Xiao Nanshan and took out an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone to start absorbing and refining spiritual energy.


    At the same time, the nature¡¯s spiritual energy on the mountain top began to converge towards the wooden house, forming a spectacular and radiant cloud of light.

    ¡°What¡¯s this¡­?¡±


    Seeing this spectacle, Xue Ting, who had been harvesting Spirit Rice with Zhuo Ming at the foot of the mountain, was stunned.


    ¡°I think our teacher¡¯s cultivation must have made a breakthrough.¡±


    Zhuo Ming was relatively nonchalant about it. He had already witnessed a more extravagant scene when Chen Mobai had consumed a set of tree fruits of longevity.

 Chapter 742 - Chapter 742: Chapter 436 Battle Begins_3

    Chapter 742: Chapter 436 Battle Begins_3


    ¡°Uncle Chen is indeed a true genius.¡±


    Xue Ting had also witnessed the demeanor of Lan Lingping during her cultivation. But compared to Chen Mobai, both the amount of spiritual energy and the momentum fell short.


    She couldn¡¯t help but sigh internally when she realized that Chen Mobai was still merely a young man in his thirties, while Lan Lingping was already over a hundred years old.


    ¡°It¡¯s also a coincidence. Just before your departure, you can bid farewell to the master.¡±


    Xue Ting had been studying here at Xiao Nanshan for more than half a year, and she had completed a full cycle of fire spirit rice cultivation with Zhuo Ming.


    The harvested fire spirit rice was to be sold to the Snow-blowing Palace. It was just in time to be delivered when Xue Ting left.


    Originally, she thought she might not be able to say goodbye to Chen Mobai before she left. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that his cultivation level has broken through, and he should be leaving his seclusion soon.


    The top of Xiao Nanshan.


    Chen Mobai opened his clear eyes, put the spiritual stones transformed into spiritual extracts from his palm into his storage bag, and happily felt the immense pure yang spiritual power in his Dantian.


    Finally, he reached the seventh layer of the Foundation Establishment.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the delay in creating the No-Form Puppet, he might have made a breakthrough a month earlier. But all¡¯s well now.


    Reaching the seventh layer of the Foundation Establishment before graduation was a significant accomplishment in the thousands of years of history at the Dance Tool Dao Academy.


    After self-assessment, although he wasn¡¯t qualified for divinity transformation, at least he wasn¡¯t worse than the trio of Ling Dao Shi, Taishi Shu and Zong Zi.


    Considering only the Pure Yang Scroll cultivation level, Chen Mobai could proudly stand shoulder to shoulder with those three as the four chief disciples without feeling inferior.


    What¡¯s next is to strive further, hoping to equal Lan Haitian and Yan Qiongzhi, and to open the Golden Core domain when he reaches the perfection of Foundation Establishment.


    With full of ambition, Chen Mobai stood up and opened the Cloud Mist Array.


    Soon, Zhuo Ming and Xue Ting walked up from the foot of the mountain.


    ¡°Greetings to Master!¡±


    ¡°Greetings to Uncle Chen!¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded, indicating them to rise.


    In a short while, Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan also arrived. The former had to handle the sale of Fire Spirit Rice to the Snow-blowing Palace, so he had also been in Xiao Nanshan recently.


    ¡°Wen Bo, I will trouble you to escort niece Xue Ting back.¡±


    After being reminded by Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai remembered that this female cultivator from the Snow-blowing Palace was leaving. He touched his storage bag and took out a Purple Fire Sword Talisman.


    ¡°You have worked hard in Xiao Nanshan for the past half year. This sword talisman is a gift. It can save your life in a critical moment.¡±


    ¡°This is too precious, I dare not accept it.¡±


    Chen Mobai was generous, but Xue Ting knew the rules. She was very grateful for her time in Xiao Nanshan for the past half year and didn¡¯t dare to accept a rank-2 talisman.


    ¡°Take it. It¡¯s just something I drew by myself. It¡¯s not worth a few spirit stones.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai said this, Xue Ting knew that the ¡°Purple Fire Sword Talisman¡± was a powerful and precious talisman famous in the Divine Wood Sect. It could critically wound a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage without preparation.


    Only after repeatedly declining, Xue Ting finally reached out her trembling hands, took the rank-2 talisman from Chen Mobai with an excited face.


    ¡°This is how to use it. However, you need to slightly transform your Ice Spirit Power to activate it.¡±


    Chen Mobai taught her once. Xue Ting¡¯s comprehension ability was better than he thought, and she remembered and understood it immediately.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, this half year is the most relaxing time since I started cultivating.¡±


    Before descending the mountain, Xue Ting saluted Chen Mobai again with an excited expression.


    ¡°See you again if it¡¯s meant to be.¡±


    Chen Mobai nodded and said this.


    In his mind, this Qi cultivation female cultivator from the Snow-blowing Palace is just a small segment in his long life.


    After selling the new batch of Fire Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai added another 150 intermediate-grade spirit stones to his account.


    He, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan began to prepare for the planting of Fire Spirit Rice for the second half of the year. Meanwhile, they didn¡¯t forget to check on the Green Jade Spirit Rice they planted at the beginning of last year.


    ¡°The crops grow well with plenty of spiritual energy.¡±


    Seeing the tender green seedlings that had begun to sprout, Chen Mobai can¡¯t help but feel pleased.


    In the immortal sect, due to the lack of spiritual energy, many of the grade-2 spirit rice needed to be stored after maturing. They needed to seal the Spirit Field and wait for the same amount of years before they can be planted again.


    But here in the Tianhe Realm, there¡¯s no such concern.


    After checking the fifty acres of Spirit Field, Chen Mobai and his two disciples started cooking outside again. He didn¡¯t realize that they were one person short compared to the last time.


    ¡°By the way, Xuan, run a quick errand to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion later. Last time, the sect leader promised me that he would put three Green Wood Evil on the shelves. I was too busy with my cultivation that I forgot to go and exchange them. You¡¯ll have to trouble yourself.¡±


    ¡°Okay, Master.¡±


    Luo Yixuan obediently took the sect¡¯s nameplate that Chen Mobai handed to her. In the afternoon, Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming continued to inspect the thousand acres of Spirit Field, while she went to run some errands.


    However, when Luo Yixuan returned in the evening, she brought back the sect leader¡¯s order.


    On the border of Lei Nation, the Divine Wood Sect and the Mountain Shaker Peak have already taken their stance in the battle.


    Zhou Wangshen and Xie Yuntian assembled all the cultivators from the aristocratic families of Lei Nation and the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, as well as loose cultivators recruited from other countries. In total, they gathered an army of three thousand cultivators and invaded the territory of Rock Country.


    However, Ji Dingjin was not someone who could be easily defeated. Although the number of his cultivators was less than that of the Divine Wood Sect, all of Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s body cultivators were experts in magical duels. Plus, they didn¡¯t hesitate to recruit many rogue cultivators with spirit stones. They managed to hold off the large cultivator army of the Divine Wood Sect on the front battlefield at the border.


    Nows, both sides have entered a phase of mutual killing and consumption. Each moment, there were cultivators dying or getting injured on the border between Lei Nation and Rock Country.


    The whole Eastern Wilderness had all eyes on them, waiting for the Core Formation Elders from both sects to make their moves.


    However, Chen Mobai knew that Fu Laozu had a puppet body hidden near the battlefield to guard against possible Core Formation Level opponents from the Mountain Shaker Peak.


    The order from Chu Zuoshu was for Chen Mobai to prepare.


    The Divine Wood Sect was now gathering the second batch of cultivator army. In addition to the disciples of the sect, there were also the loose cultivators and the aristocratic families within the territory of their four countries. Just like the Green Light Island defending against the demonic beasts attack, they distributed spirit stones daily.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    There must be loose cultivators where heavy reward lies.


    Currently, the Divine Wood Sect had recruited more than two hundred loose cultivators. However, the situation with the aristocratic families was a little more complicated. Despite Chu Zuoshu¡¯s recruitment order, the response was sparse.


    The six major aristocratic families in Jian Country barely assembled sixty people, and most of them were only at the second or third level in Qi cultivation.


    Since the main general of the second batch of cultivator army was Chen Mobai, and he was also the town guard of Jian Country, Chu Zuoshu wanted him to pay a visit and try to gather a hundred people.

 Chapter 743 - Chapter 743: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_1

    Chapter 743: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_1


    Jian Country originally had seven great Immortal Cultivation families, but the Yuan family of Black Cloud Mountain had already been expelled because of the murder of Chen Mobai.


    However, when Yuan Hongyuan carried out this act, he naturally considered the possibility of failure. Therefore, the core members of the Yuan family had already escaped beyond the influence of the Divine Wood Sect, leaving behind mostly cannon fodder.


    These cannon fodders, who were previously sent to mine by the Divine Wood Sect, have now been sent to the front line.


    In addition to these great Immortal Cultivation families with Foundation Establishment Cultivators in charge, Jian Country also has several second and third-rate small families.


    The Divine Wood Sect plans to annihilate Mountain Shaker Peak this time, so it has gradually mobilized the power of the entire sect within its sphere of influence.


    While they were polite towards the great Immortal Cultivation families, they didn¡¯t spare the small families and minor sects, drafting directly a tenth of their forces.


    The lower one¡¯s position, the less choice one had.


    The second batch of cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect plans to send a thousand people to reinforce their troops. The sect conscripted five hundred disciples, and the remaining five hundred needed to be drafted externally.


    This part of the manpower consisted of Loose Cultivators, small families, and minor sects.


    Among them, the recruitment of Loose Cultivators had already reached its target. Small families and minor sects obediently sent their best disciples, hoping they could make contributions in this war between the two sects, exchange for resources from the Divine Wood Sect, or even Foundation Building Pills.


    The only remaining six major families, due to their close relationship with the sect and the ability to obtain Foundation Building Pills from the trading association, were reluctant to participate in this event.


    Each only sent ten people symbolically to show their compliance with the orders of the Divine Wood Sect.


    Upon receiving the order from the sect leader, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say a word. He took Luo Yixuan and went to each major market to speak with the heads of the families.


    Among them, the Guo family, which relied on the Five Elements Sect, had already relocated some of their cultivators. But after Chen Mobai¡¯s visit, they gritted their teeth and sent another ten people.


    One of them was a Qi Cultivation ninth level elder from the Guo family who didn¡¯t have much time left. He personally led the team, giving sufficient face to Chen Mobai and the Divine Wood Sect.


    Chen Mobai was very appreciative of this.


    The rest, Jade Pot Fu family, Heavenly Pillar Wang family, Azure Crane Liang family, Snow Peak Bai family, and Mirage Wave Luo family seemed to have prepared in advance. After Chen Mobai¡¯s visit, they all agreed to send five more people.


    ¡°The sect¡¯s intention is for your six families to have a hundred people in total. The second elder of the Guo family personally leads a team of twenty cultivators. If each of your five families sends fifteen, we¡¯ll still be short by five. How about one of you send one more person?¡±


    Chen Mobai gathered the heads of the six major families in Jian Country and calmly put forward his request.


    Even though Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t make a mandatory request, and even if a few people were missing, he wouldn¡¯t say anything, but Chen Mobai still wanted to do his best.


    ¡°Five Qi Practitioners can¡¯t decide the victory on the battlefield.¡±


    The head of the Luo family, Luo Jushan, spoke diplomatically, implying that Chen Mobai should turn a blind eye and be satisfied with what he had.


    ¡°Exactly, with the renowned Chen Town Guard leading the team this time, our opponents will surely retreat in fear. The people we sent are merely there to support. Whether there¡¯s one more or one less makes no difference.¡±


    Wang Gongdao from the Wang family also spoke. The others, like Fu Xiuzuo, also sided with him. They were polite to Chen Mobai, but they were reluctant to send another person.


    ¡°In that case, in half a month, have the people from your families gather at Giant Tree Ridge, and each family¡¯s representative can coordinate with Xuan.¡±


    After listening, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t say much. He nodded calmly, then left with Luo Yixuan.


    ¡°Master, they really don¡¯t know their manners. They are not even willing to send one more person¡­¡±


    On the way back, Luo Yixuan seemed a bit resentful. However, Chen Mobai just smiled and shook his head.


    ¡°Xuan, they¡¯re not unwilling. You see, as soon as I showed up, they immediately sent another five cultivators. As they said, the number of low-ranked Qi Practitioners can¡¯t determine the victory on the battlefield. But they did this to show that they have a say in the matter, so they fought for one more cultivator as a bargaining chip.¡±


    The Divine Wood Sect dominates four countries, and although the six major families in Jian Country also have Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they definitely don¡¯t dare to resist, so after the edict was issued, they all obediently sent their clan cultivators.


    But they also wanted to show they were different from the minor families and minor sects, so they purposely fell short by one.


    This is both to show the other Immortal Cultivation forces in Jian Country their influence and to show their family that even when facing the Divine Wood Sect, they have the ability to negotiate, cultivating a sense of pride among the clan cultivators.


    Luo Yixuan finally understood the subtleties after Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation.


    ¡°But they still didn¡¯t give you face, Master.¡±


    But even after understanding, Luo Yixuan was still a bit indignant.

    ¡°Wen Bo¡¯s South Mountain Shop is able to spread throughout Jian Country, and they have helped a lot, so I can¡¯t say much. Moreover, they at least left me some face in responding to the sect leader and sent more manpower.¡±


    Since he was a child, Chen Mobai heard from his grandfather that the world is not so clear-cut as some places and some things need to be left with some room for manoeuvre.


    ¡°Master, I understand now.¡±


    Luo Yixuan was a very clever person. Once Chen Mobai explained, she understood immediately.

 Chapter 744 - Chapter 744: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_2

    Chapter 744: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_2


    However, deep inside, he was thinking that if he ever had the chance, he would properly deal with these five families on behalf of his master.


    Upon returning to Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai naturally went first to Shenmu Hall to report to the sect leader.


    ¡°Hmm, you¡¯ve worked hard. Approximately a month from now, the second batch of cultivator troops should be able to assemble. We can dispatch these people from the sect, which ones do you need?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t really care about the number of people the six major Immortal Cultivation clans of Jian Country had dispatched; he handed a list to Chen Mobai.


    The cultivator army would certainly not only send one Foundation Establishment elder like Chen Mobai; the determination of the Divine Wood Sect this time was great, approximately one third of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect would be sent to the frontline battlefield.


    This was Chen Mobai¡¯s first time leading the army as the main general, which made his heart somewhat excited.


    However, his understanding of commanding a large cultivator army was far beyond anyone on the Eastern Wilderness side.


    Because on the Immortal Gate side, they possessed a mature tactical system for this domain.


    Countless experiences of wars of expansion, coupled with various modern magic artifact communications, enabled the Immortal Gate to exert the collective power in wars. Even when they were at a disadvantage in top-ranked combat strength, they could still press ahead and always achieve victory in wars.


    ¡°Are there any Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Artifact Refining, Rune Manufacturing, Formation, or Puppetry departments?¡±


    Chen Mobai was not very familiar with the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect. Although there were familiar people like Mu Yuan, Yan Jinye, and Yu Lian on the list, it was unbearable for him to take his good friends to the battlefield. So, he let Chu Zuoshu recommend some needed people to him.


    Although he hadn¡¯t systematically learned about warfare at the Daoist Academy, he knew that the first priority in Immortal Gate warfare was communication.


    Only by ensuring smooth communication between the top and bottom could one command the entire army as if it were an extension of his own limbs, thus forming various battle arrays, and creating zones that even Core Formation cultivators dared not easily invade.


    Therefore, the first thing Chen Mobai thought of was to make a simple communication device to ensure he could contact his subordinate cultivator generals at any time.


    For this, he needed experts in puppetry, artifact refining, and rune manufacturing to help him do the grunt work.


    ¡°These few should meet your requirements.¡±


    Chen Mobai¡¯s choice of departments was a bit strange with the puppetry department, but Chu Zuoshu didn¡¯t pay much attention to it and designated four people on the list according to his requirements.


    Then Chu Zuoshu selected another four, making a total of nine Foundation Establishment cultivators including Chen Mobai.


    Among them, Mu Yuan and Yu Lian were selected by Chu Zuoshu.


    Meng Hong¡¯s injuries from his Core Formation failure had largely healed, and not wanting his disciple to stick around him all the time, he sent him away.


    Having nothing to do, Mu Yuan applied to go to the front line to toughen himself up.


    After Chu Zuoshu consulted with Meng Hong, he nodded in agreement.


    Yu Lian, on the other hand, was chosen because he had left a deep impression on Chu Zuoshu.


    When Chen Mobai first came to the Reward Virtue Hall, Chu Zuoshu was not yet the sect leader. Through the matter of Yu Lian, Chen Mobai was regarded by Chu Zuoshu as a core disciple.


    After Yu Lian established his foundation, he was sent to guard the mines in Lonely Spirit Ridge for three years.


    Chu Zuoshu wanted to completely include him in the Divine Wood Sect, so he let Chen Mobai lead him to see blood on the frontline battlefield first, with the hope that he could kill more cultivators from the Shake Mountain. If he could achieve merit, it would be easier to promote him in the future without any gossip within the sect.


    Besides these two, there are also two Inspection Envoys from the Reward Virtue Hall, Chen Zhenwu and Liang Lingzhen.


    Among them, Chen Zhenwu was one of the rotating elders of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. He was the one who received Chen Mobai last time when he exchanged for the Green Wood Evil.


    As for Liang Lingzhen, he originates from the Qinghong Liang Family of Jian Country.


    Both of them fought on the frontlines with Chu Zuoshu and Chen Mobai last time. They had a certain understanding of each other and could be considered as being from the same faction.


    With these people assigned by Chu Zuoshu, Chen Mobai could at least command them.


    In a team, as long as half of the members obey orders, the rest will go along with the flow.


    ¡°How¡¯s Elder Fu¡¯s puppet refining going?¡±


    After discussing the matters of the cultivator army, Chen Mobai asked Chu Zuoshu about the matter of the Purple Sun Puppet.


    If Fu Zongjue could succeed in refining it, the Divine Wood Sect would have an absolute advantage in the top-ranked combat strength.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know much about this matter, but An Jinghui has been running around collecting materials for the past year. He should be in the throes of intense manufacture work now, I presume.¡±


    As the head of the Puppetry Department and a disciple of Fu Zongjue, An Jinghui had received the true transmission of the puppetry technique from this elder. By observing his whereabouts, sect leader Chu Zuoshu could roughly deduce the situation.


    They chatted for a while before the chosen Foundation Establishment cultivators of the sect started appearing one by one.

    The first to arrive was Mu Yuan, followed by Chen Zhenwu and Liang Lingzhen. Yu Lian was still guarding the mines at Lonely Spirit Ridge. After the order was sent out from here, it would probably take a few days for him to return to Giant Tree Ridge.


    The remaining four were Yuan Feihu from the Artifact Refining Department, Hong Lingqin from the Rune Manufacturing Department, Zuo Hongqiu from the Formation Department, and Su Wanshi from the Puppetry Department, all of whom were chosen in accordance with Chen Mobai¡¯s requirements.


    ¡°The matter is as follows, although Brother Chen is young, in the Eastern Wasteland, it has always been the one with the higher cultivation level who is deemed superior. This time, he will lead the team for the mission,¡± said Chu Zuoshu, the sect leader, giving support to Chen Mobai.


    Among those present, most of them recognized and admired Chen Mobai. They knew that he had broken through to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment two years earlier and had also developed into a rare genius of Sword Sha. Whether it was cultivation level or combat power, he was ahead of them all.

 Chapter 745 - Chapter 745: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_3

    Chapter 745: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_3


    In the Eastern Wilderness, power determines who has the final say.


    Aside from Yuan Feihu and Hong Lingqin, who were both engrossed in their cultivation on their respective Spirit Mountains and were not adept at social interactions, everyone had doubts about the overly ambitious and young Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Brother Chen, why don¡¯t you add a few words?¡±


    After Chu Zuoshu finished speaking, he gave the stage to Chen Mobai, who was standing next to him. The latter nodded and took out a blueprint from his storage bag.


    This was the oldest model of a cell phone he had modified from the Immortal Sect; it utilized a spherical magic artifact as the satellite core. It could support about fifty cell phones for real-time communication.


    ¡°This magic artifact is known as the Heavenly Communication Device. I recently obtained it as one of my rewards in the Divine Tree Secret Realm. It allows for communication anytime and anywhere within a certain range.¡±


    ¡°In a war between sects, it is essentially a collision between battle arrays. The more cultivators there are, the more powerful the battle array. However, the more people there are, the more complex communication becomes. Misunderstandings in the top-down communication could interfere with the operation of the battle array, preventing it from fully displaying its power. The immortal sect of antiquity, the Eternal Dao Sect, which was known as the greatest sect, had this Heavenly Communication Device.¡±


    ¡°The principle behind this device is very simple, but it requires the collaborative efforts of experts in artifact refining, talisman making, and puppet creation to be made. By choosing you, brothers and sisters, the sect leader has shown his trust in you and hopes that you will be able to create it in the shortest possible time.¡±


    After Chen Mobai finished speaking, the faces of the people present were a bit bewildered.


    In the Tianhe Realm, battle arrays formed by cultivators are very powerful. This they knew well. Generally, the best results are achieved through long-term practice combined with the same cultivation technique.


    They saw communication as a secondary issue.


    After all, the battlefield is only so large, and the speed of divine sense communication among Foundation Establishment cultivators is not slow.


    The key to a powerful battle array is to intensify the training of loose cultivators and disciples from the great clans, and mold these disparate parts into a cohesive whole.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, what is the effective coverage range of this Heavenly Communication Device?¡±


    Chu Zuoshu, as the sect leader, saw the wide-reaching possibilities of this magic artifact. After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s introduction, his eyes lit up.


    ¡°If a fully-functional Heavenly Communication Device is created, it should be able to provide signal coverage for a hundred miles around.¡±


    That is to say, it would cover the entire scope of Divine Wood City, and it could more than cover the entire battlefield.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, if only it could cover the entire Giant Tree Ridge.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu shook his head regretfully. Given that Giant Tree Ridge spans over tens of thousands of acres, and the sect¡¯s disciples are scattered across various sites, it usually takes half a day for a message talisman to reach a Foundation Establishment elder and for them to respond.


    Sometimes when an elder is in seclusion, the message talisman would simply be stuck at the door and wouldn¡¯t return, wasting a lot of time.


    If they had this Heavenly Communication Device, and each Foundation Establishment cultivator in the sect had a cell phone, they could at least achieve instant communication.


    If there was no response, it would indicate that the person was in seclusion and Chu Zuoshu would not need to wait any longer.


    ¡°Just make more Heavenly Communication Devices.¡±


    Chen Mobai suggested a bright idea but what Chu Zuoshu did not know was that Chen Mobai was considering putting a satellite above the Eastern Wilderness in the future, connecting the entire area of the Divine Wood Sect and enabling real-time communication.


    Unfortunately, even the most basic satellite blueprints in the Immortal Sect were of Rank-4. Even if Chen Mobai could download them, he would not understand.


    ¡°Brother Chen, guide them to make one first so I can check the effect.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu became interested and personally called Luo Xue¡¯er, the hall master of Reward Virtue Hall, to prepare two sets of materials for crafting the Heavenly Communication Device on behalf of the sect.


    The Heavenly Communication Device is one of the more simple Rank-2 magic artifacts in the Immortal Sect. Although Chen Mobai was not an artifact refiner, he understood its principles.


    The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect might not understand the principles, but they could follow instructions. Under Chen Mobai¡¯s guidance, Yuan Feihu from the artifact refining division shaped the metal into rectangular shells.


    Chen Mobai also took out his talisman brush and talisman paper, manually drawing two sets of Message Talismans, Identical Seal Talismans, and Word-to-Sound Conversion Talismans.


    The ¡°Message Talisman¡± is the most commonly used talisman for communication in the Divine Wood Sect and indeed, throughout the Eastern Wilderness. It is used to record text content.


    The ¡°Identical Seal Talisman¡± is a talisman that copies patterns and was originally used for copying books.


    The ¡°Word-to-Sound Conversion Talisman¡± is an unusual talisman that could convert text to voice and vice versa. It was originally created by a married pair of deaf and blind talisman makers for their communication.


    These three types of talismans can form the most basic functions of a cell phone.


    Chen Mobai then took out a few rectangular pieces of Green Yang Spiritual Wood that could be held in one hand and crafted a simple sound vibration writing puppet. He then encased it in a metal shell, inserted the three types of talismans that he had drawn, and a simple cell phone was completed.

    ¡°Sect Leader, you take this.¡±


    Chen Mobai handed one of the Green Yang Spiritual Wood phones to Chu Zuoshu. After receiving it, Chu Zuoshu looked at the three buttons on it with a puzzled expression.


    ¡°I¡¯ll step outside the hall. When the green button lights up, Sect Leader, press it to connect¡­¡±


    After Chen Mobai briefly introduced the functions of receiving calls, he left Shenmu Hall and even went a long way off to make sure his conversation wouldn¡¯t be overheard. Then, he began to dial.


    wuxiaworld.site .co

 Chapter 746 - Chapter 746: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_4

    Chapter 746: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_4


    The three talismans inside were activated instantly, converting his spoken words into text through the Word-to-Sound Conversion Talisman. Then, the writing puppet started to inscribe these words on the Message Talisman. Subsequently, the Identical Seal Talisman synchronized these textual contents to Chu Zuoshu¡¯s phone. Thereafter, through the reverse process, Chu Zuoshu¡¯s phone converted those texts back into speech.


    So, Chen Mobai¡¯s words echoed from the Green Yang Spiritual Wood phone.


    Witnessing this miraculous scene, everyone in Shenmu Hall was shocked.


    Just three Rank-1 talismans and a small puppet managed to create an effect comparable to a Rank-3 Mirage Scribing Talisman!


    The Mirage Scribing Talisman was the talisman Chu Zuoshu had used to report to the two elders, creating illusory images containing a strand of a Golden Core Cultivator¡¯s Divine Sense. It was only given to direct-line disciples.


    ¡°Junior Brother Chen, hurry, give me another set of phone talismans.¡±


    After Chen Mobai returned, Chu Zuoshu cherished the phone, reluctant to put it down. It was just a pity that after a single call, the three talismans had burned to ashes. He needed to insert three more to make another call.


    To Chen Mobai, drawing Rank-1 talismans was as simple as writing words.


    He completed it with ease, his smooth strokes and techniques leaving Hong Lingqin from the talisman-making department amazed.


    ¡°Who would have thought Junior Brother Chen¡¯s talent in talisman making is so exquisite.¡±


    Talisman Masters could gauge one¡¯s level by watching their techniques. Hong Lingqin felt inferior and finally understood why the sect leader chose this young man as the chief envoy.


    ¡°The direct connection distance between the phones cannot exceed one kilometer. However, if the Heavenly Communication Device acts as a relay, the range can be extended to around a hundred kilometers.¡±


    After hearing Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation, Chu Zuoshu finally understood why he wanted to refine the Heavenly Communication Device.


    ¡°Full cooperation is needed to get the Heavenly Communication Device ready before the second batch of cultivators go on campaign.¡±


    Chu Zuoshu gave Luo Xue¡¯er the command and she immediately nodded in agreement.


    Meanwhile Yuan Feihu and Hong Lingqin, who initially had doubts about Chen Mobai, showed their respect after this event.


    The working principle of the Heavenly Communication Device itself is very simple. Even without Chen Mobai¡¯s explanation, the three foundation establishment cultivators could easily finish the task.


    With the strength of the entire sect behind them, even moving mountains became easy. Within three days, the first Heavenly Communication Device was created.


    After inspecting, Chen Mobai suggested a few modifications.


    While the Artifact Refining Department was busily working on refining the second Heavenly Communication Device, Yu Lian had returned to Giant Tree Ridge.


    ¡°Pay my respects to Senior Brother Chen.¡±


    Upon returning, Yu Lian first came to Chen Mobai.


    ¡°Yes, our sect is about to face Shake Mountain in battle. You and I will be part of the second batch of support cultivators going to the border battlefield, prepare well for it.¡±


    ¡°Yes, elder brother!¡±


    Yu Lian, being a man of few words, nodded after hearing this, inquired about departure time, and then disappeared into the courtyard.


    Half a month passed quickly.


    ¡°Ming, you have your work cut out for you here. I¡¯m leading Xuan to make contributions outside.¡±


    At the foot of Xiao Nanshan, after Chen Mobai and his two disciples had finished sowing the last field, he patted Zhuo Ming¡¯s hat-covered head and said this.


    ¡°Master, I want to go with you next time.¡±


    Zhuo Ming, unexpectedly, volunteered for battle.


    ¡°Everyone has their strengths. It would be a waste if you went to the battlefield.¡±


    Chen Mobai shook his head. He knew ever since Zhuo Ming became his disciple and was shielded, she had never been on any battlefield. There were some in the sect who gossiped about her, but he believed that Zhuo Ming, farming in the rear, contributed more than any True Disciple on the battlefield.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Sister, I will kill a few more cultivators to make up for your share.¡±


    Luo Yixuan at the side said something that left Chen Mobai speechless.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    The ¡°Red Misty Cloud Silk¡± carried the master and his disciple into the sky. Zhuo Ming watched their departing figures and quietly resolved to practice hard, hoping to follow her master to the battlefield one day.

 Chapter 747 - Chapter 747: Chapter 438 Alpha Wood Soldier_1

    Chapter 747: Chapter 438 Alpha Wood Soldier_1


    After bidding farewell to Chen Mobai and Luo Yixuan, Zhuo Ming planned to take a look at the seedlings in the spirit field. However, she felt her spiritual power in her Qi Sea begin to flow vigorously due to heightened morale.


    With this blessing in her heart, she went to the hillside of Xiao Nanshan. After burning a stick of Mind Incense on the ground in front of her and holding a Spirit Stone in her hand, she began to meditate with her eyes closed.


    The Spirit Vein level of the Spirit Mountain where Chen Mobai practices is Rank-3 of intermediate grade. Amplified by the Spirit Gathering Array, the wooden house on the mountain top could even be raised to Rank-3 of upper grade in a short time.


    Though the spiritual energy here at the hillside is merely Rank-2 of upper grade, it is more than enough for Zhuo Ming, a Qi Practitioner.


    Pure spiritual energy poured into Zhuo Ming¡¯s mouth and nose, which she absorbed and refined by using Mother Earth Cultivation.


    The lower-grade Spirit Stone in her hand began to dim slowly, but her Divine Sense was already clouded, nearly merging into the mountain beneath her feet. She seemed to feel the changing seasons this piece of land had gone through, and the small but tenacious life within the earth¡­


    A day and a night passed.


    Suddenly, a bright red flower blossomed on the lawn next to where Zhuo Ming was sitting. Amidst the surrounding greenery, it was exceptionally eye-catching.


    In no time, another small yellow flower also started to bloom.


    Like a signal, instantly, other small white flowers, blue flowers, and so forth, broke through the ground one after another and bloomed beside Zhuo Ming.


    The colors were dazzling, as if everything was growing under the beautiful sunshine of spring.


    Among the clusters of flowers, Zhuo Ming slowly opened her plain but vibrant eyes.


    She exhaled gently, and in an instant, the colorful flower buds around her burst into full bloom, vying for her admiration.


    However, Zhuo Ming was staring stupefiedly at her surroundings, wreathed in flowers. ¡°Where did these flowers come from?¡± She brooded.


    ¡°Is it a side effect of Mother Earth Cultivation advancing to the 9th level of Qi Cultivation?¡±


    ¡°The Cultivation Technique didn¡¯t mention this, did it?¡±


    Zhuo Ming, with a puzzled face, stood up and looked at the vibrant array of flowers at the spot where she was meditating. She noted it down in a small book, planning to ask her master about it at the end of the year.


    But immediately, a trace of excitement appeared on Zhuo Ming¡¯s face.


    She had reached the 9th level of Qi Cultivation.


    When she was in Southstream Market, she never would have thought that she would achieve such a feat.


    If she performed well in the Magic Duel, she might even stand a chance to receive the Foundation Building Pill from the sect in three years¡¯ time.


    ¡°All of this is because I have my master as my support. I will not let him down.¡±


    Thinking this, Zhuo Ming bowed towards the peak of Xiao Nanshan. After that, she collected the ashes of the burnt Mind Incense, and went down the hill to patrol her 60 acres of Spirit Field.


    ¡­


    Chen Mobai still didn¡¯t know that his second disciple had naturally advanced to the 9th level of Qi Cultivation.


    He was leading the second batch of Cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect, driving nine Floating Airships, soaring swiftly through the sky to support the border of Lei Nation.


    The sect¡¯s Floating Airships also were Rank-2 Magic Artifacts which futured its full power when operated by Foundation Establishment Cultivators.


    When nine Floating Airships combine, they can set up a simple 3¡Á3 Battle Array.


    Three Floating Airships form a triangle, and the triangles form another triangle, and through which the spiritual energy flows freely from one Array Plate to the next, forming a defense barrier called ¡°Flying Rainbow Light.¡±


    However, to form the 3¡Á3 Battle Array, the Cultivators on the Floating Airships need to inject spiritual power, and its power is highest when their minds are united.


    As soon as the Heavenly Communication Device was refined, Chen Mobai began to experiment.


    The nine Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect each drove a Floating Airship. They mixed up the original five hundred Qi Practitioners, led them along with the recruited Loose Cultivators, disciples of families, etc, and began to practice the 3¡Á3 Battle Array.


    At first, it was a total mess.


    After all, Loose Cultivators are known for being solitary and not trusting anyone.


    At this point, Chen Mobai didn¡¯t play Mr. Nice Guy. He and the other eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators stood on the top level of the Floating Airship, their Divine Sense sweeping over every uncooperative Loose Cultivator coldly.


    ¡°Follow whatever I say. If you¡¯re thinking about going against my Divine Wood Sect, remember that my sword doesn¡¯t show mercy.¡±


    With these words and the strong pressure from the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the usually noisy Loose Cultivators immediately went silent.


    Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only


    In the Eastern Wilderness, it¡¯s different from the Immortal Cultivator world. If you piss off a Cultivator from a big sect, killing you would be met with cheers.


    Under the suppression of the nine Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the previously sluggish 3¡Á3 Battle Array began to run smoothly.


    Traces of light red clouds glowed on the exterior of each Floating Airship, like a red cloud carrying the ship, traveling through the sky. As the Qi Practitioners poured their spiritual power into the Floating Airships, the Flying Rainbow Light spread wider and wider.


    Gradually, the nine Floating Airships connected into a patch, forming a large burning cloud. The tremendous scene of a sky on fire streaked across the clearing, surging toward the collapsing earth like a tumultuous tidal wave.

 Chapter 748 - Chapter 748: Chapter 438 Alpha Wood Taoist Soldier_2

    Chapter 748: Chapter 438 Alpha Wood Taoist Soldier_2


    Along the way, Chen Mobai began constantly adjusting his army of Cultivators.


    Generally speaking, the command tactics used in large-scale warfare in the Eastern Wilderness are quite primitive.


    For instance, a thousand Cultivators would typically be led by a main general like Chen Mobai and two hundred soldiers, while the remaining eight Foundation Establishment elders each lead a hundred.


    If the main general desires, for example, to use Loose Cultivators as cannon fodder, they may keep their direct subordinates from the Divine Wood Sect and assign colleagues they do not favor to lead the Loose Cultivator family disciples.


    In these allocations, the Cultivators from the large families, smaller factions, and over two hundred Loose Cultivators, depending on their alliance, would be ranked to sacrifice in order as cannon fodder.


    However, Chen Mobai chose to go against the norm, breaking the large army of a thousand into ten teams of a hundred, asking ten True Disciples from the Divine Wood Sect to serve as squadron leaders.


    Under each squadron leader, there was another deputy officer chosen from their respective teams, giving the Loose Cultivator families some say in matters.


    Consequently, the Loose Cultivators who originally had ulterior motives and planned to pocket the daily Spirit Stone subsidies and then bolt during the fight, found themselves feeling uneasy.


    However, the Qi Cultivating realm practitioners from the families and the minor sects were relieved.


    After such a reorganization, at least one Divine Wood Sect disciple and one family disciple loyal to the sect would be near each Loose Cultivator, keeping a tight watch on them.


    Should there be any trace of escape on the battlefield, they¡¯d likely be hacked to death by their comrades first.


    Several Loose Cultivators furrowed their brows in regret at the scene.


    However, once they boarded the floating airship, if they did not want to continue, the standing of the Divine Wood sect in the Eastern Wilderness was not so great; they would probably not mind using these cultivators to make a point.


    [We can only take it one step at a time and try to run away on the battlefield!]


    Thinking this way, many Loose Cultivators, as well as some who were sincere, ambitious, and even planned to join the Divine Wood Sect based on their merit, looked happy.


    These new teams meant that they were bound together with the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, sharing life and death. They were no longer regarded as cannon fodder that could be sacrificed at any time.


    ¡°Ten years have passed, and he has become so strong, standing so tall.¡±


    In the floating airship driven by Yu Lian, a pair of small-sect siblings looked at Chen Mobai, who stood at the forefront of another airship, and couldn¡¯t help but be filled with emotion.


    They were once grouped with Chen Mobai on Green Light Island, and while he was exceptional back then, they could hardly believe that the once Qi Cultivation Seventh Level practitioner was not only Foundation Establishment realm now but also held high power in Divine Wood Sect, one of the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, and led the thousand-man Cultivator army.


    ¡°I wonder who our team leader will be. It would be good if we could meet someone familiar.¡±


    Luo Lin, with her clear eyebrows and beautiful features, was hopeful, while Shi Pengyi just stood silently next to her.


    After a brief practice led by Chen Mobai, he let everyone rest and began assigning duties.


    Since the Divine Wood Sect was truly committed to this battle, they were not stingy about domain contributions and spirit stones.


    If True Disciples went to war, they could get as much as 10 points a day, and the rest were allocated according to the Qi Cultivating Realm.


    For example, Qi Cultivation Seventh Level initials would receive 7 points a day.


    Chen Mobai estimated that these five hundred sect disciples would require around 2000 points of domain contribution per day, adding costs of talismans, elixirs, etc., it would approximately cost 3000 lower-grade Spirit Stones per day.


    If they fought at the Lei Nation border for a year, the Cultivator army under his command alone would cost the Divine Wood Sect over a million Spirit Stones.


    If you add the recruited Loose Cultivator family disciples, the cost would be nearing two million.


    This reminded Chen Mobai of an old saying in the Cultivation world: cannons roar, and gold pours.


    The first group of three thousand Cultivator army led by Zhou Wangshen and Xie Yuntian had been fighting at the border with the Mountain Shaker Peak for two months now. According to Luo Xue¡¯er, the sect had already used over eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones.


    Of course, the expenditure of the Divine Wood Sect was great, but so was the Mountain Shaker Peak¡¯s.


    In a conflict between major sects, if the powers are evenly matched, the struggle then hinges on who possesses the deeper resources.


    The question becomes who will be the first to exhaust all resources.


    Chen Mobai had long been contemplating about organizing squads, thus, he requested Chu Zuoshu to assign him ten true disciples this time.


    Apart from his young disciple, Luo Yixuan, the other nine were Li Yixian, Xi Jinghuo, Qi Rui, Qi Hou, Niu Longyuan, Guan Xiaolong, Lian Maozhi, Gu Yan, and Jiang Zongheng.


    Among them, Xi Jinghuo, Qi Rui, and Qi Hou were good friends of Chen Mobai. They had stablised their positions as True Disciples over the years, and they willingly volunteered when they heard that Chen Mobai was leading the troops.


    They were also focusing on the batch of Foundation Building Pills that would be available in three years. Especially Qi Hou, he had not fully paid off the ten thousand contribution points from his previous failure in the Foundation Establishment.


    If the commander was a friend, their safety on the battlefield would be more guaranteed.


    The rest of the true disciples shared a similar attitude, fighting for the contributions needed for the Foundation Building Pills.


    ¡°Each one of you will lead a battalion of a hundred people. Except for Xuan and Li Yixian, the rest of the eight battalions will be under the command of the eight elders.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll pass on orders via mobile phone. The foundation elders and the battalion leaders each get one.¡±


    ¡°Then, split the battalion into ten squads of ten. Ensure my orders are meticulously passed down to each individual.¡±


    After Chen Mobai explained the usage of the mobile phones to the ten true disciples, they were utterly stunned, not knowing such an amazing device existed within the sect.


    ¡°Brother Chen, it¡¯s not that I have any doubts about your command in warfare, but is it really feasible to do this?¡±


    When the ten true disciples had received their orders and began assembling their teams on the floating airship, Chen Zhenwu from Reward Virtue Hall couldn¡¯t help but speak.


    Normally, loose cultivators were cannon fodder, while family disciples were foot soldiers. However, the disciples of Divine Wood Sect were the most precious and would only fight during the decisive moments.


    But Chen Mobai¡¯s arrangement treated everyone equally.


    ¡°If the internal factions are not united, I fear our thousand-man army¡¯s power might not even match five hundred sect disciples.¡±


    Although Chen Mobai hadn¡¯t attended the military lessons of the immortal sect, he was aware of the basic principles.


    Gaining insights into the soldiers¡¯ circumstances, then training them, and finally strengthening them, would be the appropriate steps under the guaranteed wire communication.


    A disunified army wouldn¡¯t be strong.


    Adequate spirit stones in addition to fairness and justice, would be the best foundations to stimulate the enthusiasm of loose cultivators and family disciples.


    A few of the eight foundation elders had reservations about Chen Mobai¡¯s approach, but as he is the commander, none of them strongly objected.


    During the subsequent flight to Lei Nation, Chen Mobai began training the cultivator army step by step.


    Though the space on the floating airship was not vast, there was enough room for everyone. Chen Mobai had Luo Yixuan and the others start practising the Jiamu Tao Soldiers Formation.


    This was a secret war array of the Divine Wood Sect. It could pool the strength of the many, gathering everyone¡¯s spiritual power into a massive spiritual power Taoist soldier.


    The more the number, the stronger the Alpha Wood Soldier would be.


    This reminded Chen Mobai of his own Jia Wood Jue he got from the Divine Tree Secret Realm. He could fuse a hundred lower-grade Red Sun Spiritual Woods into a top-ranked Green Yang Spiritual Wood.

    He wasn¡¯t certain whether this Jiamu Tao Soldiers Formation evolved from there.


    Since the Jiamu Tao Soldier could only be embodied when the spiritual power of more than a hundred people was gathered, that¡¯s why Chen Mobai divided his army into ten ranks.


    Apparently, a Jiamu Tao Soldier formed by ten thousand Qi practitioners could display the strength of a regular Gold Core Perfection state, and under all-out effort, it could even launch an attack equal to the Nascent Soul state.


    Chen Mobai was looking forward to this.

 Chapter 749 - Chapter 749: Chapter 439 Xuan Qiao_1

    Chapter 749: Chapter 439 Xuan Qiao_1


    Above the border of Lei Nation, the two camps of the Divine Wood Sect and Mountain Shaker Peak had already set up their battle formations. A dozen-meter-tall, green giant, wielding Wind Thunder, was striking down at a terracotta yellow mountain range.


    Boom, boom, boom!


    Accompanied by earth-shaking tremors, within the camp of Mountain Shaker Peak, at the front of a central stone house, Ji Dingjin was respectfully standing by a man and a woman.


    ¡°Alpha Wood Soldiers certainly live up to their reputation. In the past, Hun Yuan led the Five Elements Taoists to dominate the three territories, and they were among the ¡®Seven Unique Outsiders¡¯. They had a great reputation in the East Land. It¡¯s a pity that they went on a doomed path and ended up in the realm of the dead.¡±


    The male cultivator had a handsome and imposing appearance. Adorned in a golden Taoist robe, he was discussing the tactics while pointing at the green giants of the Fixed Mountain Battle Array that were attacking them.


    ¡°The Five Elements Sect has splintered, and the unlimited power of the Five Elements Taoists will never reappear.¡±


    The other individual, a cold, beautiful female cultivator in a golden robe, also commented. Her eyes were of a peculiar sky-blue color, clear and pure like jade.


    ¡°All thanks to the clever tactics of Mr. Zhao from your palace. If it were not for his solitary journey to the Eastern Wilderness sixty years ago, which resulted in the fragmentation of the five veins of the Five Elements Sect after the death of Hun Yuan, this territory would probably still be under their rule.¡±


    Ji Dingjin spoke respectfully. Even after Hun Yuan¡¯s death sixty years ago, the Five Elements Sect had so many Golden Core Cultivators that they could still suppress any other sect in the Eastern Wilderness.


    If the Five Elements Sect hadn¡¯t split, the Back to Sky Valley would probably still be subordinate to them, serving as their alchemy institute, while Mountain Shaker Peak would just be their labor force for mining.


    By consolidating the power of Eastern Wilderness, Zhou Shengqing might have already reached Nascent Soul Formation.


    To prevent the emergence of a Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Five Elements Sect after the death of Hun Yuan, and to plunge the Eastern Wilderness back into chaos, a large sect in the Eastern Yi Territory sent a Zhao Clan Golden Core Cultivator to the Eastern Wilderness. Together with Back to Sky Valley, Mountain Shaker Peak, Snow-blowing Palace, Liu Jia Mountain and other sects that had been suppressed by the Five Elements Sect for hundreds of years, they secretly prepared to rebel against them.


    Meanwhile, during the rebellion, the Zhao Clan cultivator didn¡¯t forget to sow discord within the Five Elements Sect.


    Under internal and external pressures, not long after the death of Hun Yuan, the Five Elements Sect, led by Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang, split.


    The two factions of the Five Elements Sect started fighting fiercely, and with the addition of the provocations from other sects in the Eastern Wilderness, the battle lasted for twenty years.


    Although peace was restored later, the once dominant Five Elements Sect declined and no longer held the absolute power to suppress the entire Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Uncle Master Zhao was not ruthless enough. After the ceasefire between the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect plus the Golden Cliff, if you could have led your four sects to attack the weakened Five Elements Sect again, perhaps the Five Elements Sect would no longer exist in the Eastern Wilderness now.¡±


    The man in the golden robe, watching the Alpha Wood Soldiers constantly attacking the Mountain Shaker Peak Battle Array, said something that made Ji Dingjin twitch at the corner of his mouth.


    After the ceasefire between the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect plus the Golden Cliff, Uncle Master Zhao did propose to launch an attack on the weakened veins of the Five Elements Sect with all the four sects under his lead. But the four sects only had a few Golden Core Ancestors, and they feared that even if they won, two or three of their sects would be completely destroyed by the counterattack of the Five Elements Sect.


    After weighing the pros and cons, they all rejected the proposal.


    Mainly because after the Five Elements Sect split, with the absence of an absolute superpower, the situation in the Eastern Wilderness had become balanced to the satisfaction of all the four major sects.


    Everyone was recruiting disciples and growing in their own territories. With sufficient resources, there was no need to enter life and death battles.


    ¡°In the past, our ancestor intended to do so and had persuaded Mr. Nan of Liu Jia Mountain, but unfortunately, the two Golden Core Cultivators of Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace were too conservative. But it¡¯s not too late now. As long as your palace gives the order, we, the Mountain Shaker Peak, will definitely respond to all your calls and step on the Five Elements Sect.¡±


    Ji Dingjin flattered the man in the golden robe with his words, as if the latter was someone of high status.


    ¡°I¡¯m about to reach the Core Formation, but my Master said my state of mind is not indifferent enough and I could be troubled by a Heart Demon during the Core Formation. Since Ji Zhenshi came to find me, I thought I could just come to Eastern Wilderness and cause a bloodbath to forge my supreme Taoist heart.¡±


    The indifferent and cold words of the man in the golden robe made it seem like there were no cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness whom he deemed worthy of attention. His words exuded arrogance, ignoring everything in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°All the cultivators of Mountain Shaker Peak are willing to follow your command.¡±


    Upon hearing his words, Ji Dingjin could not hide his joy and casually handed over the jurisdiction over the two thousand cultivators here to the young man in the golden robe.

    ¡°Three hundred disciples of the Dao Palace have laid the formation of Golden Bridge Battle Array, they can take action.¡±


    At this moment, the cold female cultivator in the golden robe spoke. In front of her, there were exactly 300 Qi Practitioners in golden masks and armor, each holding a Golden Halberd, kneeling neatly in a square in front of the man in the golden robe.


    ¡°The Alpha Wood Soldiers will rest for about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense after every ten rounds of attack. It¡¯s because of the three thousand cultivators on the opposing side, only one thousand are disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, and if they continue to bombard, these disciples will lose too much Spiritual Power.¡±


    ¡°In a moment, when they open up the Fixed Mountain Battle Array, the other side will definitely think that you are going to counterattack. But relying on their huge number of cultivators, the Divine Wood Sect will definitely not fear and will certainly respond.¡±

 Chapter 750 - Chapter 750: Chapter 439 Xuan Qiao_2

    Chapter 750: Chapter 439 Xuan Qiao_2


    ¡°When you¡¯ve killed off half of them, I¡¯ll lead three hundred disciples from the Dao Palace into the battle in formation. More than half of the large army of cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect are a disorganized crowd, as long as we slaughter more than three hundred, which is one-tenth, the enemy will surely flee.¡±


    ¡°By then, the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect should still be able to maintain their formation, at that time you and I don¡¯t need to care about them, we just need to follow my battle array and chase full-force the fleeing Loose Cultivators and Disciples of various families.¡±


    ¡°After this round of battle, even if the master of the Divine Wood Sect can rally his troops, the number will at most be only half of what they are now. At that time, the number of our cultivators will actually surpass theirs, and the roles will reverse. My Golden Bridge Battle Array is specially designed to break the Alpha Wood Soldiers!¡±


    At this point, cruelty filled the pupil of the golden-robed man, as if he had already seen the scene of him crushing the whole army of cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect.


    If he could achieve such a military success, his Iron-Blood Dao Heart would certainly become great. When he returns to the Dao Palace in the future, he would be successful in Core Formation and could even strive for the position of Taoist Child.


    ¡°It is our honour to follow Lord Xuan Qiao.¡±


    After hearing Xuan Qiao¡¯s strategic arrangement, Ji Dingjin was also filled with excitement. He went personally to convey the subsequent counterattack, defeat, and pursuit tactics to each key point¡¯s Foundation Establishment elder in charge of guarding the Fixed Mountain Battle Array.


    Even though he was at the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, but after this round of running around, he had already used up nearly half an hour.


    The main thing was to make sure that everyone could truly understand the upcoming tactics, to avoid being a liability at this critical moment and miss the opportunity to seize the greatest fruits of war.


    ¡°It¡¯s now!¡±


    After the message was delivered, Ji Dingjin stayed by Xuan Qiao¡¯s side, the woman with sky-blue pupils seemed to be cultivating a kind of Art of Spiritual Eyes. When the Alpha Wood Soldiers began to cease their drums and the spiritual power in the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s battle array started to fall off a little, she accurately seized this critical timing.


    ¡°Switch from Fixed Mountain to Shake Mountain, begin the counterattack!¡±


    Ji Dingjin had no doubt, he immediately began to shout loudly. As a Body Refining Cultivator, his shout could basically be heard by everyone.


    The Qi Practitioners, who had already received his orders, immediately began to lead the cultivators under their command, changing the operation of their battle array from the defensive position of holding the mountain to shaking the mountain.


    After a very dull rumble, the earth-yellow mountain range that had been covering their entire camp suddenly flew up and fell heavily on top of the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Battle Array, just like a whole mountain falling from the sky.


    But on the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s side, they also had defensive battle array changes. Ten green giants raised their hands, and a huge transparent green leaf emerged out of thin air over their heads.


    The earth-yellow mountains fell and collided with the transparent green leaves, causing an extremely terrifying fluctuation in nature¡¯s spiritual energy.


    Waves of white energy, like ripples in the void, swept around from where the two large battle arrays clashed directly. Wherever they passed, it was like a great wind sweeping across, uprooting trees and sending stones flying.


    In the middle of the rumbling noise.


    As the foundation of the Battle Array and the source of spiritual power, thousands of Qi Practitioners all turned pale.


    This direct collision of battle arrays-if not blocked- would leave of all of them dead. Therefore, even the Loose Cultivators opened up their Qi Sea in their Dantian, allowing the two Sect¡¯s Battle Arrays to draw on it.


    ¡°Strange, why would this old turtle dare to come out and fight?¡±


    Within the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s camp, Xie Yuntian and Zhou Wangshen exchanged confused looks. Even so, this was good news for them.


    After all, they had greater numbers. In the clash of battle arrays, the side that could hold on to the end would definitely be them.


    Without any hesitation, Zhou Wangshen dropped everything and issued orders to all Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators to contest head-on.


    ¡°Not good, what is that!¡±


    But just as he had relayed the commands and returned to Xie Yuntian¡¯s side, the latter suddenly widened his eyes, and let out a scream.


    Zhou Wangshen raised his head to look and his face couldn¡¯t help but reveal shock.


    Only to see in the sky where the mountains and the green leaves were clashing, a golden bright bridge with an imposing atmosphere was built right above the mountains, falling directly onto the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s battle array.


    In front of this golden bridge, the transparent green leaves that could block the mountain, seemed like clothes pierced by a needle, allowing the bridge to penetrate effortlessly.


    After the Golden Bridge pierced the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s War Array, the three hundred golden-armored Qi Practitioners wielding golden halberds became the equivalent of an ultra-sharp wood-cutting knife, killing dozens of the nearby Divine Wood Sect cultivators in an instant.


    Then, as if a perfect defense had formed a gap, the cultivators of Shake Mountain Peak began to charge through the Golden Bridge into the Divine Wood Sect¡¯s Battle Array one by one.


    ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s the Golden Bridge Battle Array of the Xuan Xiao Daoist Palace. These bastards finally made their move.¡±


    Upon seeing this, Xie Yuntian swore angrily, then immediately rode his Flying Sword, leading hundreds of elite disciples from the sword training department charging forward.


    As expected of the number one combat department of the Divine Wood Sect¨Cthe moment they entered the battle, they immediately held off the slaughter led by the three hundred disciples from the Xuan Xiao Daoist Palace. They even began to counterattack, trying to block the hole created by the Golden Bridge.


    ¡°Although it¡¯s a bit beneath me to take you as my first enemy in the Eastern Wilderness, upon looking at your Divine Wood Sect¡¯s ranks, it seems you¡¯re the strongest. So, I guess I don¡¯t have any other choice!¡±


    Just as Xie Yuntian was about to charge into the gap in the battle array riding his Flying Sword, a golden light descended from the sky, stopping his flying sword. Xuan Qiao slowly stepped down from the Golden Bridge with a lonely and helpless tone.


    It seems that he is disappointed for not finding an interesting opponent in the Eastern Wilderness.


    ¡°Who comes there!¡±


    Xie Yuntian has a good idea of Xuan Qiao¡¯s identity given his golden robe, but he still asks the question, feigning ignorance.


    ¡°The First Prince of the East Barbarians, call me Xuan Qiao.¡±


    Upon hearing the prefix ¡®Xuan¡¯, Xie Yuntian¡¯s heart sank, and his suspicions were confirmed.


    ¡°Are you opposing my Divine Wood Sect?¡±


    ¡°Opposing? You¡¯re using the wrong word. The Divine Wood Sect is not worthy enough to be my opponent!¡±


    By this time, Xuan Qiao had descended to the bottom of the Golden Bridge. He was like a golden-armored deity descending from the heavens, speaking with scorn yet filled with confidence.


    ¡°Hmph, be not too arrogant, let¡¯s see how you leave here today!¡±


    Xie Yuntian knew at this point it was useless to talk anymore. His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he spat out a cyan luminescence, aiming straight for Xuan Qiao standing at the end of the Golden Bridge.


    Boom, boom, boom!


    One golden pearl after another flew out from Xuan Qiao¡¯s palm, forming a golden light curtain. However, under the onslaught of Xie¡¯s cyan luminescence, these curtains kept breaking apart.


    But these golden pearls seemed endless. After Xie Yuntian had shattered twenty-three light curtains using the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, he finally exhausted his power. He turned into a wisp of green smoke which dissipated merely three inches from Xuan Qiao¡¯s face.


    ¡°Oh, you, who are not even in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, have actually cultivated the Sword Sha. I underestimated you!¡±


    Xuan Qiao looked at the Green Flames Sword Slaughter that scattered in front of him. He raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised but soon wore a look of regret.


    ¡°My Golden Pearl Technique consists of thirty light curtains. You just need to shatter seven more before you can touch me. If you can hurt even one of my hairs, I will spare your Divine Wood Sect today.¡±


    After Xuan Qiao finished speaking, he flicked his right hand andgolden pearls scattered, forming an ocean of golden light around him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate me!¡±

    Upon hearing this, Xie Yuntian¡¯s brow tacitly revealed his anger. Privately, though, he ordered Zhou Wangshen to lead a thousand Divine Wood Sect disciples and children of various nobles to retreat, leaving the Loose Cultivators behind as cannon fodder in order to preserve most of their forces to retreat back to the Lei Nation¡¯s Rank-3 defense formation in Fang Market.


    This way, once the second wave of cultivators led by Chen Mobai arrives, they would still have the power to face Shake Mountain Peak once again.


    [Take care, Division Chief Xie!]


    Upon hearing this, Zhou Wangshen hesitated for only a moment before realizing this was the best strategy. Being a decisive person, he didn¡¯t say a word more and began ordering the various Foundation Establishment elders on the battlefield to retreat.

 Chapter 751 - Chapter 751: Chapter 440: This is How Sword Sha is Used! (8k)_1

    Chapter 751: Chapter 440: This is How Sword Sha is Used! (8k)_1


    Xie Yuntian was quite renowned in the Eastern Wilderness. Before Chen Mobai¡¯s rise to fame, he was hailed as the top sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, even studying under the venerable Elder Mo at Golden Cliff for half a year.


    He was among the few in the Divine Wood Sect who had a chance of reaching the Core Formation stage.


    He was rather proud in his daily life, believing that throughout the vast Eastern Wilderness, except for a few Core Formation elders, he could dominate the land with the sword in his hand.


    Especially after mastering the Green Flames Sword Slaughter technique, Xie Yuntian¡¯s ego inflated even further.


    The cause of his confidence was none other than Chen Mobai.


    Because after Chen Mobai had mastered Sword Sha, he unveiled his power by going up against five opponents single-handedly¨Ckilling Yuan Hongyuan, the Yinming Messenger, Hong Xu, and the Tang siblings, five Foundation Establishment cultivators¨Cgreatly impressing him with the power of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter.


    Then he made an equation.


    Xie Yuntian believed that since Chen Mobai could achieve this much, as someone who had also mastered Sword Sha, he should be considered a high-level expert as well.


    But this pride and confidence started to wane after he came across a chap named Xuan Qiao.


    At this moment, he had already realized that he was no match for his opponent.


    However, to cover for other core disciples of the Divine Wood Sect to retreat, Xie Yuntian fell silent for a moment before his Divine Sense and Spiritual Power violently surged.


    Amid the clanging noise, his Fiery Flying Sword seemed like a bright sun, suddenly breaking free from Xuan Qiao¡¯s golden repression after emitting a blazing light.


    Boom!


    The Flying Sword, like a Flood Dragon emerging from the sea, carried a wave of flaming Sword Light, slicing through like a meteor rain shower toward Xuan Qiao who was standing proudly on the Golden Bridge.


    At this instant, Xie Yuntian had pushed his cultivation of Red Flame Sword Jue to the utmost limit.


    The green flames from the Sword Light roared like a tidal wave. The vacant space near the Golden Bridge ignited under his sword, the air twisted slightly, and the might was astounding.


    Some unprepared Shake Mountain cultivators rushing down from above were caught in the Sword Light fire rain. Their flesh began to boil in utter shock, screaming as they turned into a mist of blood and ashes.


    Xuan Qiao showed an appreciative look in the face of Xie Yuntian¡¯s earth-shaking sword strike.


    Immediately, he spread his right hand, and pure, vast Spiritual Power surged out. In no time, the golden pearls on his body transformed into layers of even more brilliant, dazzling light barriers.


    When the Fiery Flying Sword burst into the Golden Bead Aura Protection, it was like a meteor shower shattered and erupted, setting the entire sky ablaze.


    As layer after layer of golden light barriers shattered, Xie Yuntian¡¯s face grew paler, but he continued to grit his teeth, controlling his Flying Sword to charge at Xuan Qiao.


    Thick smoke permeated the void, reflecting the view of burning oil, raging flames rolling like a prairie fire. The clear sky turned blood red in the blink of an eye, flames pouring down.


    However, within the boiling sea of fire, a golden glow shone brilliantly, as dazzling as the most stunning gold, unaffected by the fire¡¯s purification.


    Standing unwaveringly at the center, bathing in the sun.


    ¡°Is the gap between the late Foundation Establishment and the Foundation Establishment Perfection really that big?¡±


    Seeing this scene, Xie Yuntian¡¯s heart sank. He had only mastered half of the Sword Sha technique, and initially thought he could dominate the Eastern Wilderness, completely undaunted even when facing Ji Dingjin.


    But he hadn¡¯t expected to encounter the successor of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.


    He originally wanted a quick battle and used the Sword Sha straight away, but found he couldn¡¯t break the Golden Bead Aura Protection.


    Now, when he uses his absolute Sword Dao skill, and tries it with a Flying Sword, he still couldn¡¯t do it.


    How should he break this Aura Protection technique?


    Just as Xie Yuntian was considering his next step in the Magic Duel, a golden light suddenly flashed from the flames.


    Xie Yuntian tried to dodge, but his right hand was severed at the shoulder by the knife-like golden light. Feeling the excruciating pain in his shoulder and the massive loss of vital blood, he quickly applied a Renewal Talisman.


    The wound was entangled with golden threads, blocking his severed arm from being reattached.


    Xie Yuntian could only stop his bleeding and then put away his severed arm for later.


    ¡°I needed that. A little activity for the joints.¡±


    At this moment, Xuan Qiao waved his hand, and the blazing flames in the air were torn apart, revealing his dazzling golden figure.


    Seeing that Zhou Wangshen had managed to organize the retreat of the Divine Wood Sect disciples down below, Xie Yuntian didn¡¯t bother with any more discussion with Xuan Qiao. He used his remaining left hand to control his Flying Sword, once again invoking the Red Flame Sword Jue.


    Buzzing!


    The Flying Sword echoed clearly, like a flaming dragon rushing toward the Golden Bridge and the cultivators coming down from above.


    Xuan Qiao did not act, simply allowing the Flying Sword to pass his side, dashing and slashing toward the Shake Mountain cultivators behind him.


    This wasn¡¯t because he was willing to let someone die, although he was proud, he wouldn¡¯t gaze upon allied casualties at this moment.


    Another golden light fell onto the Fiery Flying Sword.


    Xie Yuntian¡¯s Rank-2 top-notch Flying Sword was suppressed once again. His Divine Sense and Spiritual Power exploded, trying to free the Flying Sword.


    But a slender hand fell, a jade-like delicate finger gently touched the Flying Sword.

    At this moment, Xie Yuntian felt his connection with the Flying Sword being completely severed.


    He felt as if a piece of his heart had been scooped out, his vision darkening, almost losing control of his body and falling to the ground.


    ¡°Proceed as planned.¡±


    After shearing off one of Xie Yuntian¡¯s arms, Xuan Qiao¡¯s martial sister, Xuan Jinzhi, descended from the Golden Bridge. As effortlessly as breathing, she suppressed the Flying Sword, and, with a wave of her slender hand, commanded the cultivators of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and Shake Mountain to chase after the cultivators at the outermost edge of the Shenmu Sect War Array.
