Chapter 1009: Chapter 553 Primordial Stone_2 Chapter 1009: Chapter 553 Primordial Stone_2 “The land’s fertility is not enough, and coupled with the thin spirit vein aura, it’s not your fault. Your skill in the cultivation of Fire Spirit Rice, even among my disciples, would qualify you to teach as well.”

Chen Mobai, by the standards of Tianhe Realm, was considered a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master. A glance at the spirit fields below and the rice ears was enough to know the reason why the grains were not plump.

“It is only because the sect has been promoting the cultivation of Fire Spirit Rice on a large scale that I have been able to accumulate rich experience by advising the disciples and immortal cultivation families in their farming year after year.”

The maturity of Xue Ting’s skill in Fire Spirit Rice was cultivated through extensive hands-on planting, and she spoke the honest truth about it.

After hearing this, Chen Mobai’s opinion of her improved further.

He had originally casually handed her over to Zhuo Ming for training, but he hadn’t expected to find such a diligent and progressive child. Moreover, she was respectably mindful of her place, always greeting him with the proper respect due a master every time she came.

If he had known earlier, he would have spoken to Lan Lingping at the beginning to let Xue Ting become another one of his disciples. In that case, he could have left the farming to Xue Ting and freed Zhuo Ming to focus on caring for the more precious spirit plants.

Having been in Tianhe Realm for so many years, Chen Mobai had seen many outstanding Spirit Plant Masters, but not a single one who was good at farming had caught his eye.

Perhaps it was because he judged them by the higher standards of the Immortal Gate. Besides the exceptional talent that Zhuo Ming was, now there was Xue Ting before him.

Even though her skills in spirit planting were specialized, since she could take such good care of the Fire Spirit Rice and had a tenacious character, a little guidance would make her a capable right-hand helper.

But on further reflection, Chen Mobai realized that the relationship between the Snow-blowing Palace and the Divine Wood Sect was quite ordinary. It was likely that Kong Lingling would prefer her disciples to die accidentally than defect to the enemy.

Moreover, Xue Ting had already achieved Foundation Establishment and mastered the core cultivation methods of the Snow-blowing Palace. Such a crossover was even more improbable.

It was only on the side of the Divine Wood Sect that if they encountered anyone suitable for sword training within their territory, they would take them to Golden Cliff.

The reverse was true as well. Golden Cliff would similarly send disciples not practicing swordsmanship to the Divine Wood Sect.

“Sect Master Chen…”

As they were about to fly out of the border of Snow Country, Chen Mobai and Xue Ting were still busy discussing the spirit fields below, one instructing and the other listening intently without pause, Bai Cai finally couldn’t help but step forward to pay her respects.

“Oh, Junior Niece Bai, is there something you need?”

Chen Mobai had been talking to Xue Ting about the cultivation of Qingkuo Spirit Rice in the spirit fields below and about the characteristics and habits of this spirit rice. Hearing Bai Cai interrupt, he felt a bit displeased and spoke in a harsh tone.

“It’s… it’s nothing… I just came over to remind you that we’re about to enter the territory of Wind Country.”

Bai Cai, hearing Chen Mobai’s tone, felt a jolt in her heart. She wouldn’t dare ask the questions she had thought of and, after hesitating for a moment, carefully reminded him instead.

“Have we arrived so soon?”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai looked somewhat regretful, as he had just begun to experience the long-missed satisfaction of teaching Xue Ting how to farm.

After all, Zhuo Ming’s skill in spirit planting had already surpassed his own, leading to instances where he would ask her for advice. Liu Wenbo, too, was primarily focused on business, and though he diligently farmed at Xiao Nanshan, he evidently had no intention of dedicating his efforts to that path.

Since Luo Yixuan’s disappearance, Chen Mobai had not felt that satisfaction in teaching cultivation for around a decade.

“Junior Niece Xue Ting, come visit Giant Tree Ridge when you have time. Ming’er has been missing you.”

After crossing the border line, Chen Mobai turned to Xue Ting, who was still within the territory of Snow Country, and spoke to her in a gentle tone.

“Yes.”

“Junior Niece Bai… the journey has been arduous for you as well.”

As Chen Mobai prepared to leave, he saw Bai Cai standing next to Xue Ting. Out of politeness, he addressed her as well. Hearing his words, her tense expression seemed to soften as she quickly nodded in response.

Bai Cai: “It’s my duty to do so.”

At that moment, two streaks of sword light flew in from afar, and two Foundation Establishment practitioners from Golden Cliff landed before Chen Mobai, paying their respects.

“Uncle Master Chen, Mo Ancestor has sent us to receive you.”

One of them was Ning Leshan, whom Chen Mobai recognized, and the other had a square face and large ears, his complexion a fiery red, his cultivation level nearly at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Only after the introduction did he know that this was one of the twelve executors of Golden Cliff, Jia Songyang!

He had the most interaction with the Divine Wood Sect during the time of Chu Zuoshu’s governance.

Because Golden Cliff did not have a position of Sect Leader, the inner gate disciples were divided into factions according to the sword techniques they practiced, with twelve sword wielders each presiding over one of the twelve different sword techniques.

Jia Songyang was practicing the Red Flame Sword Jue, and therefore had the closest relations with the Divine Wood Sect.

“Jia nephew’s cultivation is not bad, it seems he has already condensed the Sword Sha.”

With one glance, Chen Mobai saw through the real state of Jia Songyang’s cultivation; he was half a notch higher than Xie Yuntian and had cultivated three strands of the Green Flames Sword Sha.

“I still have many confusions about cultivation and hope I can consult with Uncle Master Chen.”

Jia Songyang also spoke with the courtesy of a disciple, as Chen Mobai, who specialized in the Red Flame Sword Jue, was the benchmark on his path.

“Hahaha, let’s go, let’s not keep Brother Mo waiting too long.”

Chen Mobai nodded and laughed heartily, letting Ning Leshan and Jia Songyang lead the way. He then rode the “Red Misty Cloud Silk” and followed them towards the nearest teleportation array.

Watching them disappear, Bai Cai finally came back to her senses, her eyes slightly sharp as she looked at Xue Ting beside her.

“Junior Sister, you seem to have a good relationship with Sect Master Chen?”

“In the past, I was a disciple of Senior Sister Lan, who sent me to study the methods of Fire Spirit Rice planting under the tutelage of Sect Master Chen at South Mountain. Though I do not have the official title of a disciple, I am essentially one.”

Xue Ting spoke calmly, and Bai Cai really didn’t know about this.

After all, she was a cultivator dedicated to bitter cultivation, rarely caring about the workings of the Sect or anything similar.

Kong Lingling also placed a lot of hope in her, hoping that she would break through as soon as possible to become the sect’s second Core Formation cultivator.

“If Divine Wood Sect invades our Sect, you wouldn’t forget that you are a cultivator of the Snow-blowing Palace, would you?”

Bai Cai asked another question, to which Xue Ting turned her calm face towards her and glanced.

“Of course, I will always protect Snow Country and Frost Country.”

“That’s good to hear.”

Bai Cai felt slightly relieved upon hearing this. She didn’t know why, but seeing Chen Mobai treat the unremarkable Xue Ting differently and indifferently towards herself made her originally proud ice and snow Dao heart lose balance.

“I will return to the sect now. I will report to the Sect Leader truthfully about how you impressively completed the task and made Sect Master Chen leave Snow Country with a smile.”

Bai Cai said this last phrase and turned to ride her flying sword towards the Snow-blowing Palace.

Xue Ting watched her gradually disappearing figure, then turned her head towards the direction of Wind Country where Chen Mobai had disappeared. She reminisced about the unprecedented joy she felt on the way, quietly savoring it.

Is this what it feels like to be praised and recognized?

Is the feeling of joy filling your entire body satisfaction?

If only I could truly become Sect Master Chen’s disciple!

Chen Mobai, of course, had no idea that his casual praise had filled the heart of this Snow-blowing Palace disciple with delight.

He was led by Jia Songyang and Ning Leshan through the Wind Country’s teleportation array and soon arrived at Golden Cliff.

A familiar person was already waiting before the teleportation array.

“Brother Mo, I have kept you waiting.”

Chen Mobai hadn’t expected that Mo Douguang would be here to meet him; by all reason, it should be he who, as the junior brother, should go up the mountain to visit.

“She Peihua, attend to the others for me. Junior Brother Chen, let’s go together.”

Mo Douguang spoke to a graceful middle-aged man beside him. This person was also one of the twelve wielders and Mo Douguang’s own eldest disciple.

Chen Mobai was well aware of Mo Douguang’s temperament and took a moment to instruct those with him. Then he and Mo Douguang transformed into escaping lights and disappeared from the spot.

“Junior Brother Chen, this is the ‘Primordial Stone’.”
