Chapter 908: 502 Chapter 908: 502 If it were any other time, Chen Mobai would definitely have grabbed some fruits and gone to visit Yu Tianguang.
But since he learned from Lan Haitian that Yu might possibly be from the Ascension Sect, the always cautious Chen Mobai didn’t want to take the risk of meeting him, even with the Purple Electric Sword in hand.
Moreover, in the eyes of the Immortal Gate, Yu Tianguang was one of the suspects, and it wouldn’t look good for Chen to be seen with him.
He simply used the excuse that he was about to take up his post in Yu Wood City, expressing regret that he couldn’t visit Cinnabarite Institute.
Yu Tianguang seemed to be somewhat unhappy about this and hung up the phone directly.
Chen Mobai didn’t care whether this would startle the snake, since it was a matter for the Sky-Mending Group, but since he’d said as much over the phone, he couldn’t stay in Red Sandstone City either.
He said goodbye to his family that evening and left early the next day.
Yu Wood City.
Bordering Red Sandstone City and one of the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands, this city is most famed for its vast forestry resources, and the Spirit Wood for Chen Mobai’s talisman factory was all sourced from here.
The people of Yu Wood City basically understood Spirit Plants, and each household would grow a distinctly unique Spirit Wood in their yard, a tradition originating from the city’s most famous City Lord, Yu Zi.
This Yu Zi was also the only Golden Core Master in the history of Yu Wood City and a Fourth-Order Spiritual Plant Master.
He led the city to evolve from traditional handicrafts to the modern forestry powerhouse it is now, and he established the Immortal Gate’s greening regulations.
The Blue Elm he personally planted, with over three thousand years of care by countless Spirit Plant Masters, became the only fourth-grade Spirit Wood in Yu Wood City.
After arriving, Chen Mobai made it his first stop to visit.
“Councilor Chen, this is Guda Courtyard. There is a fourth-grade lower class Spirit Vein funded specifically by the Immortal Gate that runs directly here, all to nurture this fourth-grade elm.”
Wen Ping, the City Lord of Yu Wood City, brought Chen Mobai to an ancient-looking courtyard, and at its center stood a tall Spirit Wood with lush green leaves and sprawling branches.
This place was also considered a historic site. When Chen Mobai was a child in Green Mountain Village, his grandfather had spoken of it, leaving a deep impression, so upon his arrival, he expressed a desire to pay homage to the heritage of his predecessors.
Such a humble request was naturally swiftly arranged by the authorities of Yu Wood City.
Wen Ping was a gentle-faced, slender old man, a Third-Order Spiritual Plant Master, a local from Yu Wood City who grew up here. He studied at Qing Sang Academy and after graduating from Foundation Establishment, he joined the forestry bureau through civil service exams, and gradually rose through the ranks.
“I will have someone tidy it up later, and you, Councilor Chen, can move in tonight directly.”
Being one to govern a city, Wen Ping naturally understood subtleties and thought that Chen Mobai wanted to take over Guda Courtyard, given its connection to the fourth-grade Spirit Vein.
“I’m just here for a visit, to feel the spirit of the predecessors. There’s no need to move in,” Chen Mobai immediately shook his head. He had already used his Void Spirit Eye to see that the Spirit Vein Aura of Guda Courtyard was just enough to sustain the needs of a fourth-grade Spirit Wood. If he were to move in and use it for cultivation, it would affect the growth of the Spirit Wood.
Even though no one in Yu Wood City would have said anything if he had done so, it would not look good if word got out.
After all, with how widespread the internet is nowadays and with Chen being the latest sensation, there were many waiting to ride on his coattails.
His grandfather Tang Lu once said that as an official, one can choose not to act, but must not make mistakes.
And the best way to avoid mistakes is to do nothing at all.
As Chen Mobai had just arrived in Yu Wood City, it would be better not to act until he became more familiar with the people here, Wen Ping’s faction included.
After the visit to Guda Courtyard, Chen Mobai briefly met the heads of various departments in Yu Wood City, then tactfully declined all kinds of hints and temptations, leaving with Song Mutu, the former principal of Qing Sang Academy who had come early to wait for him.
Song Mutu was a teacher at the Jumang Academy by appointment, and also a Third-Order Spiritual Plant Master, just one term junior to Wen Ren Xuewei.
“Wen Ren senior is extraordinarily talented. I thought the Immortal Gate would not see another person with more exceptional talent than her until your appearance, President Chen.”
Song Mutu had an ordinary appearance, but was quite humorous and quickly used their mutual acquaintance Wen Ren Xuewei to bridge their relationship.
“Haha, that’s too kind. Compared to Wen Ren senior who had mastered the Lasting Spring Cultivation, my talent pales in comparison.”
Within the Immortal Gate, there were not many that Chen Mobai admired, but Wen Ren Xuewei was one of them. He had labored with the resources of the Tianhe Realm to raise his fire spiritual roots value to above 80.
And yet Wen Ren Xuewei, even with the limited resources of the Immortal Gate, achieved the cultivation of Lasting Spring Cultivation with a three-lined Heavenly Spiritual Root, rightfully earning the title of the number one talent in the Immortal Gate.
Most importantly, she had stabilized her Nascent Soul and was surely to take over the Jumang Academy, becoming one of the pinnacles of the Immortal Gate in the future.
“President Chen, let me first introduce you to the basics of Qing Sang Academy…”
After exchanging courtesies, they arrived at the academy. Unlike the two academies in Red Sandstone City which were built on mountains, this was on a plain. However, various species of Spirit Wood were planted in circles according to a plan, with youthful boys and girls in groups taking care and observing them.
The Qing Sang Academy initially started as a co-managed school by the Dance Tool Dao Academy and Jumang Academy, with the intent to breed Qingsang silkworms and harvest their silk to weave the Dancing Device Red and Black Robe and Sentence Mang Fairy Green Shirt.
