Chapter 1000: Chapter 548: Outing Team_2 Chapter 1000: Chapter 548: Outing Team_2 Chen Mobai also asked Ma Gang from the Spirit Vein Division to arrange for the Earth Masters of the sect to search the dense forests scattered across the Eastern Wilderness for Green Wood Evil. For Rank-2 Green Wood Evil discovered, aside from one thousand sect contribution points, he was willing to offer an additional one thousand Spirit Stones as a reward.
“I remember that Back to Sky Valley has Rank-2 Green Wood Evil. After all, the first medicine field in the Eastern Wilderness belongs to them, and they have the conditions to nurture the Earthly Fiendish Qi. When you visit, junior brother, you can mention this matter. Yan Shaoyin must be a frightened bird right now and will not refuse you,”
Fu Zongjue suggested another idea. After hearing this, Chen Mobai’s eyes lit up, and he nodded.
If he couldn’t find enough Green Wood Evil throughout the Eastern Wilderness, then Chen Mobai would have to resort to the last method.
He would pass down the technique for artificially creating Earthly Fiendish Qi used by the Immortal Gate.
At the Repairing Heaven Institute, he didn’t just learn about governance, warfare, commerce, finance, and other knowledge. He also accompanied Yan Bingxuan in studying the famous Yuanqi system courses, especially the content on artificially creating Earthly Fiendish Qi, which he researched intensively.
After all, considering the need to launder the origin of Earthly Fiendish Qi here in the Tianhe Realm, this was the simplest method.
Because Green Wood Evil is one of the seven Earthly Fiendish Qi that the Immortal Gate can mine, there was an abundance of research material. As such, various organizations within the Immortal Gate have completed the experiments of artificial synthesis, and the theory is already perfect.
However, would the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect be willing to sacrifice their hard-earned Spiritual Power to convert it into the base Five Elements Essence needed for Green Wood Evil?
This concern was the only thing Chen Mobai worried about. After all, cultivators in the Tianhe Realm place great importance on cultivation level and realm, and converting Spiritual Power into Five Elements Essence can cause delays in their cultivation.
Possibly many Divine Wood Sect disciples, who aspire to the great Dao, would not be willing to undertake such a task.
Nevertheless, Chen Mobai’s thinking was progressive. If the sect could not collect enough Five Elements Essence internally, he would then spread the task to the seven subordinate nations, dozens of Cultivator families, and countless Loose Cultivators. Surely, someone would be willing in exchange for Spirit Stones, elixirs, Magic Artifacts, and other resources.
He was firmly convinced that even in the Tianhe Realm, as long as the price was high enough, people could be persuaded.
Having tested the Flame Sun Slash with Fu Zongjue, confirming it had the power of a Third Rank Superior Grade, Chen Mobai set his mind at ease and continued to condense the second orb of Golden Flame.
Time flew swiftly, and soon a month had passed.
In the Shenmu Hall!
Chen Mobai stood with one hand on his chest and the other behind his back. In the palm of his hand were two orbs of Golden Flame glowing like brilliant golden spheres, which he twirled continuously, reminiscent of the eternal motion of Tai Chi.
The Vice Hall Masters and department heads from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions who stood in two flanking rows watched this scene with furrowed brows, their faces filled with trepidation.
The hallmark of the Great Achievement of Red Flame Sword Art, this spectacle had already been spread throughout the entire Divine Wood Sect by the mouth of Xie Yuntian over these days.
Everyone knew that the explosive power of one of these orbs of Golden Flame was enough to incinerate half of Divine Wood City.
Before long, Yin Qingmei and Mu Yuan, who had been summoned, stepped into the hall. After paying their respects to Chen Mobai, they too retreated to a position closest to the door with pallid faces.
The two were highly sensitive to the Golden Flame, as they had both grasped the essence of the Longevity Scripture and had outstanding, if not excellent, Wood Spirit Roots.
The feeling was akin to that of a child, uninitiated in cultivation, who had encountered tigers and wolves in the wilderness, instilling a sense of dread.
“For this trip, where I will be visiting the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness, Mu Shizhe, Xi Shizhe, and Yin Shizhe will accompany me. Consider it an opportunity to broaden your horizons,”
As the sound of Chen Mobai’s voice fell, Mu Yuan, Xi Jinghuo, and Yin Qingmei each stepped forward and nodded in agreement.
These three were the ones among the Foundation Establishment members left in the sect, apart from Zhuo Ming, with the greatest hopes for Core Formation. As the Sect Leader, it was natural for Chen Mobai to cultivate them properly.
In fact, Chen Mobai also wanted to bring Zhuo Ming along. Having a disciple who understood his preferences and could provide thoughtful care would make the journey much more comfortable.
But he reconsidered, thinking of Xiao Nanshan’s Spirit Field Spirit Rice experiment, the transplanted Immortal Peach Tree, the Enlightenment White Tea, Zhou Shengqing’s Soul Nourishing Wood – all these could not do without Zhuo Ming. It would be better to leave this precious disciple back in the sect.
Moreover, Chen Mobai did not consider himself incapable of enduring hardship and did not need constant attendance.
Once in Ming Nation, he would reunite with his senior disciple Liu Wenbo which meant he would only need to endure by himself in the Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley.
At this moment, Chen Mobai found himself particularly missing Luo Yixuan, his younger disciple.
With her by his side, there would be no need for such worries.
“After I leave, Nephew Yue will have the hard task of staying behind to act as Sect Leader in my stead and manage all the affairs of the sect,”
Upon hearing these words, Yue Zutao immediately stepped forward from the left row, accepted the command, and then bowed to the people of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions.
With Chen Mobai as their backing, everyone was respectful and reciprocated the gesture.
“Reporting to the Sect Leader, as the face of our Divine Wood Sect, bringing only three people seems insufficient. Coincidentally, my disciple Li Yixian has also succeeded in Foundation Establishment a few years ago. Why not let him accompany you to gain some worldly experience, and he can assist by handling some miscellaneous tasks under your command.”
After delegating all the tasks, An Jinghui, the head of the Puppet Division, stood out, wanting to include his own disciple in the travel party as well.
He had realized that the persons Chen Mobai brought with him were all the most promising in the sect. If Li Yixian could join them, even if he couldn’t reach the step of Core Formation in the future, at least he’d be able to build good relationships with the sect’s cultivators who might reach that stage.
An Jinghui was one of those rare masters in the Tianhe Realm who genuinely considered his disciple’s future.
Chen Mobai had a decent relationship with him and also had a good impression of Li Yixian, the slightly chubby disciple, who had served under his command during the campaign at Shake Mountain Peak, so he nodded in agreement.
“Sect Leader…”
Little did he know that with this nod, the rest quickly caught on and began introducing their own disciples and relatives to Chen Mobai, also hoping to join the delegation to visit the East Wilderness Major Sects.
Since Chen Mobai had made this concession, he naturally had to treat everyone equally.
“Each of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions shall send one person; report the list to Yue Zutao. We set out early tomorrow morning.”
After saying this, Chen Mobai left Shenmu Hall with Zhuo Ming.
After seeing him out respectfully, the crowd immediately turned and surrounded Yue Zutao.
“Sect Leader, here is this month’s Longevity Tree Sap!”
After returning to his Longevity Wood Dojo with Zhuo Ming, a female cultivator with an air of clear and elegant spiritual water respectfully approached and handed him a snow-white porcelain bottle.
“Thank you, Gu Yan, for your hard work.”
Chen Mobai smiled as he took the bottle and nodded to Gu Yan.
In the entire Divine Wood Sect, aside from his own disciples, only Gu Yan had free access to his dojo. Occasionally, when there was a sudden errand or someone to be summoned, Chen Mobai would have her run the task.
Because of this, within the Divine Wood Sect, Gu Yan was seen as half a disciple and a maid of Chen Mobai.
Chen Mobai handed the bottle of Longevity Tree Sap to Zhuo Ming beside him.
“Take this to the Alchemy Department later and have Zeng Woyou and Yan Shimai refine it into Longevity Dew.”
“Yes, Master!”
Chen Mobai hadn’t forgotten about nurturing his Longevity Dao Body. With Gu Yan’s continuous harvesting and condensing of Longevity Tree Sap, he felt very hopeful about reaching great achievement in this Body Forging Technique.
The creation of the Longevity Dew was an ancient alchemy recipe, and Zeng Woyou had already failed to make it twice.
But now that Chen Mobai had ample resources, such a loss was just a slight heartache.
After the master and disciple talked for a while, Zhuo Ming left.
“Sect Leader…”
Just as Chen Mobai was about to head to his own wooden hut, Gu Yan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up.
“Oh, what is it?”

“Sect Leader…”
Just as Chen Mobai was about to head to his own wooden hut, Gu Yan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up.
“Oh, what is it?”
This group also included some of the most distinguished people in the sect: Li Yixian, Jiang Zongheng, Lian Maozhi, Gu Yan, Xi Jinghuo, and Ding Ying
