Chapter 1120: Chapter 616 Turbulence (Additional chapter for 10,400 monthly votes) Chapter 1120: Chapter 616 Turbulence (Additional chapter for 10,400 monthly votes) This time, when Chen Mobai came over for his report, Meng Huang happened to be on a performance tour with a literary and art troupe in another city, which was quite an unfortunate coincidence.
However, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
After checking the tour itinerary, Meng Huang had Chen Mobai book this train ticket for her.
The station where she boarded the train was one of the tour locations, and the next city she needed to visit was conveniently reachable by the same train.
Although they only had a little over two hours together, which seemed brief for two people who hadn’t seen each other for a long time, it was still enough to vent their long-pent-up feelings of missing each other.
As the train continued its journey on the tracks, the carriage jostled and trembled incessantly, and at some point, the thick windows had fogged up with a layer of faint condensation. Through the hazy mist, the slender and fair right hand of someone surfaced, pressing against the glass and slowly sliding down, leaving a shallow trail before suddenly disappearing…
After they were done, the radiant Meng Huang got dressed, but when she prepared to get out of bed, her high heels were nowhere to be found by the bedside.
It was only after releasing her divine sense that she found them at the foot of the table in front of the sofa.
She immediately remembered that upon entering this carriage, the two of them had enjoyed a few drinks on the sofa, and halfway through, she couldn’t contain her long-standing yearning any longer and began to ask Councilor Chen for his guidance and effort.
Thinking back on it, Meng Huang’s pretty face flushed slightly. Barefoot with her snow-white legs, she stepped out of the bed and sat down by the sofa.
Just as she was putting on her white stilettos, the bathroom door opened, and Chen Mobai, having finished his shower, stepped out.
“Don’t forget the things on the table.”
Hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Meng Huang saw the eight gleaming and round pearls on the table, feeling an unprecedented sweetness and happiness in her heart.
It was seeing these that had made her lose restraint earlier on.
“What a pity there was so little time.”
Meng Huang spoke with a sense of indulgent aftertaste.
By then she had put on her high heels, fastening the delicate ankle straps. The patent leather straps and her beautiful snow-white instep blended together perfectly. Chen Mobai followed his gaze upward to her straight and slender legs, made even more graceful and light by her long-time stage performances.
Meng Huang turned around intending to tidy up her makeup in the reflection of the glass, when she suddenly felt a tightening around her waist–Chen Mobai had already sat down on the sofa and pulled her over.
“I need to get off at the next stop…”
As Meng Huang spoke, her striking figure lost balance and involuntarily reached out, pressing against the glass behind the sofa to stabilize herself.
Though the glass was warded to be one-way, allowing sight only from the inside out, in such a special scenario and with the pressing tick-tock of time, she felt an intense thrill.
“There’s still half an hour left, that’s plenty…”
Within the brief exchange, the temperature in the room began to rise, and a misty vapor spread across the glass with their breaths.
A crisp snap sounded–it was the ankle strap of the high heel that Meng Huang had just fastened coming undone again due to the violent shaking of the carriage, followed by the sound of the high heel hitting the floor.
The whistle of the train sounded in succession, signaling to the passengers that the train had reached the station.
Meng Huang quickly put on her shoes, slipped on sunglasses and a hat, and walked off the train.
When Chen Mobai disembarked at Yu Wood City, he was still savoring the melodious singing of Meng Huang, and he raised his palm as if the slick touch still lingered with sweat.
Now, their mutual aid in cultivation practice was no longer of much use, but the pleasure they found in both spirit and body made them feel an unprecedented satisfaction.
Sometimes, such euphoric release of mind and body can truly make a cultivator lose themselves in indulgence.
Fortunately, Chen Mobai was a man of resolute will, and after savoring the memories for half a day, he returned to his regular duties.
Since the matter of Red Sandstone City had been fully taken over by Wang Shuye, he only needed to wait for the results, so he went back to Giant Tree Ridge.
No sooner had he left his seclusion than an expected visitor arrived at his door, carrying two fish.
“Sect Leader, I heard about your mighty feats in Yun Meng Ze, how you slew two Rank-3 demonic beasts. Those inner cores…”
The former Sect Leader, Meng Hong, rambled on and finally stated his intentions with some embarrassment.
It was all about the heterodox Golden Core technique!
For him, this might be the only chance to experience the Golden Core Realm.
“These two inner cores are of wind and water attributes, which don’t perfectly align with your Longevity Scripture.”
When Chen Mobai had just established his Foundation, Meng Hong had helped him greatly, and the Flying Sparrow Hairpin had made a magnificent contribution to his renown in the Sword Dao. Naturally, he was inclined to bestow the inner cores on Meng Hong.
“Wind attribute is similar to the Wood Spirit Root. I think it’s worth a try.”
Although the Eastern Wilderness didn’t research Spirit Roots as thoroughly as the Immortal Gates, they still had a basic understanding.
The Wind Spiritual Root was a mutation of the Wood and Water Spiritual Roots, and indeed, there were traces to follow if Meng Hong were to practice the heterodox Golden Core technique with it.
If the two Rank-3 inner cores could indeed cultivate two Golden Core level fighters for the Divine Wood Sect, then the sect could truly dominate the Eastern Wilderness once and for all.
It’s just that, within the sect, the only two qualified to use heterodox Golden Cores, Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu, were both practicing the Longevity Scripture.
While it was certain that the wind attribute Monster Beast Inner Pill would be given to the more senior Meng Hong, Chu Zuoshu was unable to make use of the remaining water attribute inner core.
“`
However, he had already made up his mind: the rich water should not flow into the fields of others.
This inner core, he would give it to Luo Yixuan, who had suffered ten years of torment in Huangquan for him.
Because she had been transformed into a ghost fetus in the womb, she had already missed ten years of cultivation, so he, as her mentor, must find a way to compensate her.
“How much sect contribution is left in your account?”
Chen Mobai asked Meng Hong, as there might be more monster beast inner pills in the future. For the development and cohesiveness of the sect, they would surely be listed in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.
He needed to establish a standard for exchange.
“After many years of savings, there are four hundred and seventy thousand.”
Meng Hong answered truthfully; after all, he was an incorruptible sect leader.
“Then let’s set it at three hundred thousand sect contributions for one Rank-3 monster beast inner pill.”
At the words of Chen Mobai, Meng Hong nodded happily. Soon after, Luo Xue’er received a transmission through the Heavenly Communication Device, stating that any spirit objects of Rank-3 or above to be listed in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion must go through her, being the actual manager of the Reward Virtue Hall.
Luo Xue’er, upon hearing that it was a Rank-3 monster beast inner pill, looked at Meng Hong with envious eyes.
She too was a cultivator at the latter phase of Foundation Establishment and believed she could attempt Core Formation. Although the heterodox golden core transmutation technique was very dangerous, she would not hesitate if she were offered an outer path golden core.
Chen Mobai used the Rank-3 inner core to obtain three hundred thousand sect contributions from the Reward Virtue Hall, then the hall listed it on the exchange catalog of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, and finally Meng Hong went to exchange it at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.
“To refine this Rank-3 inner core into an outer path golden core, an outstanding alchemist and artifact refiner need to take action. I’ll go look for Zeng Woyou and Wang Tingbo.”
Having decided this, Meng Hong began making preparations to refine the outer path golden core.
However, Chen Mobai felt that Zeng Woyou might not be up to the task. Since he was going to trade with Yan Shaoyin anyway, he might as well lend a hand.
“Thank you, Sect Leader!”
When Meng Hong heard that Chen Mobai was going to ask Yan Shaoyin to help him refine the outer path golden core, he was deeply moved.
After all, in his heart, he was not very confident in Zeng Woyou’s abilities, considering that this was his only inner core.
Yet, the best alchemist he could find in the entire Eastern Wasteland was Zeng Woyou.
Above him were Yan Shaoyin and his two disciples.
However, Meng Hong believed that Back to Sky Valley would certainly not help Divine Wood Sect gain another Golden Core power.
So hearing Chen Mobai say this, he felt even more that the Sect Leader had vast divine powers.
“Do not publicize this matter. My cooperation with Yan Shaoyin needs to be discussed in person before it can be finalized.”
After returning to the sect, Chen Mobai received a message from Liu Wenbo. It said that after Yan Shaoyin had seen the catalog of the Longevity Elixir Scripture, his hands were trembling, and he immediately proposed to meet and discuss the matter.
The meeting place was temporarily set at the border of the territories.
There was a Mount Wanxiang, where the Loose Repair Alliance established a Fang Market. Being located between the Five Elements, Divine Wood, and Back to Sky, disciples of the three sects often exchanged spiritual objects there, making it somewhat famous in the Eastern Wasteland.
Since it was the time to harvest Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, Yan Shaoyin did not want the people from the Starry Sky Commerce Guild to know about his deal with Chen Mobai, so he chose this place.
After handling sect affairs, Chen Mobai did not delay and quietly set off for Mount Wanxiang.
There was also a Little Nan Mountain Shop there.
Chen Mobai waited on the second floor for a while before Liu Wenbo arrived with Yan Shaoyin.
“Long time no see, Sect Master Chen!”
Yan Shaoyin was very polite. Chen Mobai smiled and invited him to sit down while Liu Wenbo started serving tea to the two Golden Core cultivators.
“Which three elixir recipes would Master Yan like to choose?”
Chen Mobai asked, already baiting Yan Shaoyin with the temptation, and he agreed without any hesitation.
However, Liu Wenbo only brought over a catalog; the actual elixir recipes were still with Chen Mobai. Due to their significant value, Yan Shaoyin had to come in person.
“Infant-Feeding Elixir, Return to True Elixir, Nirvana Pill!”
Yan Shaoyin stated his choices.
The Infant-Feeding Elixir is self-explanatory, the Return to True Elixir is a kind of elixir that enhances the spiritual power of late Golden Core cultivators, which is just right for Yan Shaoyin.
And the Nirvana Pill is used to enhance the body, allowing a cultivator to undergo a transformation, raising the level of their Body Training Technique. In addition to vigorous vital energy, it can also repair bodily defects and expel impurities such as elixir toxins from the body during the process.
For the Eastern Wasteland Cultivators who are constantly popping pills to enhance themselves, this is considered a supreme elixir.
“That’s possible, but I have three conditions.”
Chen Mobai’s words were not unexpected to Yan Shaoyin, given the value of the three elixir recipes far exceeded that of the three Green Charm Spiritual Trees.
“Please speak, Sect Master Chen!”
