Chapter 1331: Chapter 732: After All, They Are Outsiders Chapter 1331: Chapter 732: After All, They Are Outsiders When Yin Qingmei was undergoing Core Formation, Chen Mobai, along with Luo Yixuan and Zhuo Ming, retreated to the mountainside.

Although according to his estimation, the success of Core Formation was almost a sure thing,

when he actually saw the Heavenly Tribulation dissipate and Yin Qingmei rise radiantly from beneath the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, he still let out a slight sigh of relief.

“Thank you, Sect Leader, for your protection. I have formed my core.”

After standing up, Yin Qingmei naturally sought out Chen Mobai first, bowing slightly to him from the mountainside.

For some reason, she seemed even more beautiful after forming her core.

Today, she donned a silver-white long gown, pristine and flawless, her long hair tied back, her waist slender.

When she flew from the mountaintop toward Chen Mobai, her figure was graceful and her expression jubilant, as if dancing elegantly, dazzlingly beautiful.

In that instant, even the usually proud Luo Yixuan felt a tinge of astonishment, only feeling that Yin Qingmei was as beautiful as a celestial maiden.

“You just had your breakthrough, and your realm still needs to be solidified further…”

Chen Mobai, seeing Yin Qingmei rush to meet him so soon after her Core Formation, couldn’t help but shake his head, advising her not to overly concern herself with formalities.

“Yes, but I feel drained today, and cultivating further might not yield good results. Let’s continue solidifying my realm tomorrow.”

Yin Qingmei, having just formed her core, spoke much more boldly than before.

Normally, facing Chen Mobai’s words, she would’ve just nodded without any comment.

But what she said made sense, as consolidating one’s cultivation indeed requires a balance between effort and rest.

Moreover, because Yin Qingmei possessed a Destiny Spirit Plant, she didn’t need to expend any effort in refining Spirit Qi for integration, which is typically the most challenging part for ordinary cultivators forming their core–she simply needed to incorporate the Longevity Spiritual Power infused from the refined Azure Jadeite Sycamore into the formed Gold Core.

What impeded her progress was only the realm of Divine Sense.

“Stretch out your hand!”

Despite his assurance, Chen Mobai habitually wanted to check her pulse.

Upon hearing this, Yin Qingmei softly nodded, lifted her wide, thin sleeve, and extended her arm, pale and lustrous like jade.

After inspecting her, Chen Mobai found her realm was quite stable.

The Golden Liquid Jade Pill was perfectly utilized by her, with her essence, qi, and spirit fully transformed; a regression was almost impossible.

“Well done, from today onward, our Five Elements Sect’s Wood Vein has one more Golden Core Cultivator.”

Chen Mobai’s words brought an uncontrollable surge of excitement and joy to Yin Qingmei’s face, as she looked at the Sect Leader with hesitation, seemingly wanting to say something.

“What is it?”

After checking her, Chen Mobai noticed her expression and curiously asked.

“Going forward, should I address you as ‘Senior Brother,’ Sect Leader?”

This question from Yin Qingmei was something Chen Mobai had not anticipated. In the Eastern Wilderness, one’s seniority in a sect is traditionally determined by Cultivation Realm; technically, after forming her core, Yin Qingmei was indeed eligible to advance in seniority.

However, from the perspective of someone from the Immortal Gate, this wasn’t ideal.

“Being a righteous and prestigious sect originating from Grand Ancestor Yiyuan, our Five Elements Sect has always ranked by seniority. Qing Mei, although you have formed your core, you’re ultimately Senior Brother Fu’s disciple. Since I am of equal standing with him, you’re still of a younger generation.”

Chen Mobai intended to change this tradition, and Zhou Shengqing and others agreed; hence, even after her Core Formation, Yin Qingmei remained a fourth-generation disciple of the Five Elements Sect.

Ancestor Hunyuan, while alive, had celebrated the position of True Lord Yuan in Hunyuan Immortal City.

So, according to tradition, the founders were first-generation.

Li Zhongji alone was the second generation.

The third generation included Zhou Shengqing and six others, and later, after their Core Formation, Fu Zongjue and Chen Mobai were also elevated to this generation, totaling eight individuals.

This was why Chen Mobai hadn’t taken Zhou Shengqing as his mentor; otherwise, he would have been classified as fourth generation.

Now, with Yin Qingmei forming her core, she belonged to the fourth generation of the Five Elements Sect.

However, she could only be ranked second in this generation, with Luo Yixuan–the illegitimate core former–being first. Despite the irregularity of her Core Formation, Divine Wood Sect had already declared it throughout the Eastern Wilderness. Even if something unexpected removed her now, her status as the main disciple and as the first of the Wood Vein’s fourth generation was set in stone.

If Zhuo Ming and others formed their core in the future, starting from Chen Mobai’s status, they would also be of the fourth generation.

“Yes, Sect Leader Uncle!”

Yin Qingmei, slightly disappointed after learning about the seniority from Chen Mobai, responded.

Hearing this, Luo Yixuan felt smug and looked at Yin Qingmei with a hint of malice.

Chen Mobai might not have understood, but how could she not? This fellow had impure motives.

It was undeniable that Senior Sister Yin, with her Heavenly Spiritual Root and immortal-like beauty, now added immense pressure on Luo Yixuan, sparking an urgent desire within her to form her core soon.

“Just call me Sect Leader.”

Chen Mobai waved his hand, indicating that in front of others, Yin Qingmei need not change the way she addressed him.

“Yes, Sect Leader. During my Core Formation, I encountered some difficulties and gained some insights. Let me share them with you so that you can guide the other cultivators of our sect.”

Yin Qingmei’s words made Chen Mobai nod. The depth of a sect’s heritage in the Tianhe Realm was measured by the quantity of insights gathered during major realm breakthroughs.

As a dominant force in the Eastern Wilderness, the Five Elements Sect had quite a few insights on Core Formation, but to Chen Mobai, it still seemed insufficient.
