Chapter 913: Chapter 504 Trouble Arises_2 Chapter 913: Chapter 504 Trouble Arises_2 Then, to curry favor with Chen Mobai, it even spit out the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace Foundation Establishment Practitioner it had swallowed before and nudged the half-digested corpse towards him, implying that he could have the leftovers.
Chen Mobai wordlessly used Qingyang Fire to burn the corpse to ashes, and the blob-like Tai Sui trembled upon seeing this, appearing to be quite heartbroken.
But it dared not say anything else and shrank to the very edge of the misty clouds.
Apart from the corpse, Tai Sui also spit out a storage bag and the Round Gold Ring Artifact.
Since it didn’t have time to digest them, these items were still intact, and Chen Mobai had carefully avoided burning them.
The Rank-2 upper-grade artifact was of no use to him anymore. After seeing it, he tossed it into his domain; however, he was still hopeful about opening the storage bag.
After all, the first storage bag he had opened in the Tianhe Realm had brought him the first large sum of spirit stones necessary for cultivating the Pure Yang Body; the memory was quite delightful.
With his Gold Core second layer’s powerful divine sense, opening a Foundation Establishment Practitioner’s storage bag was naturally a breeze.
Soon enough, an assortment of various items piled up on the cloud, but what caught Chen Mobai’s attention the most was a pile of dark gold crystals.
These were Golden Crystals, and after counting, there were a total of thirty-eight.
Based on market value, this was more than ten thousand Spirit Stones.
But in Chen Mobai’s eyes, these Golden Crystals could take his Precious Golden Light to the next level.
Besides the Golden Crystals, there were three top-grade Spirit Stones, alongside a number of intermediate and lower-grade ones, but Chen Mobai no longer felt any emotional fluctuations from such quantities.
As for the other elixirs, talismans, and artifacts, Chen Mobai glanced at them and tossed them all into his miscellaneous storage bag. They would be perfect as rewards for his two disciples once he returned to the sect.
After opening the storage bag, Chen Mobai immediately began using a Golden Crystal to cultivate Precious Golden Light on the spot.
After Core Formation, his refining speed had greatly improved.
On the way back to the Eastern Wilderness, while training Tai Sui, he refined the Golden Crystal in his palm which visibly shrank in size.
Based on this pace, he estimated that it would take about two months to refine one.
Compared with the two years it took during the Foundation Establishment phase, it was like heaven and earth.
At that moment, he finally flew into the Eastern Wilderness territory.
Bordering the entrance of the Ruins were Sky Country, Rock Country, and Rainbow Country.
However, Sky Country had a path opened by Eastern Wasteland Cultivators with the least danger, which leads directly to the East Barbarians. Chen Mobai had initially chosen to depart from here.
The same way he came, the same way he returned.
Chen Mobai paid great attention to these details.
After arriving in Sky Country, he naturally went to find King Zhou first.
Last time in Rock Country, King Zhou had volunteered to be the Town Guard for Sky Country. Over the years, although he had not achieved much under the oppression of the Nanxuan Sect, he had at least stabilized the Divine Wood Sect’s influence there, replacing the obliterated Shake Mountain Peak and becoming the nominal ruler of the area.
Unfortunately, once the Nanxuan Sect had gained a foothold in Rock Country with the Foundation Building Pill, they also turned their attention to Sky Country. When Chen Mobai took a detour to the East Barbarians, the Nanxuan Sect had already started colluding with local Cultivator Families and began eroding the Divine Wood Sect’s prestige here under the guise of opening the Fang Market.
King Zhou had performed well in the previous ten years, so after his term as Town Guard was up, he wasn’t called back by the sect and continued his role there.
Apart from him, Yue Zutao of Rock Country and Yuan Chiye of Lei Nation did the same.
Facing the powerful and well-backed Nanxuan Sect, the three of them could only struggle to maintain the situation, but at least they had not lost their footing, keeping the Divine Wood Sect’s rule in name.
Chen Mobai arrived at the Divine Wood Sect’s station in Sky Country, only to find that King Zhou wasn’t there.
And there was not a single person left in charge; upon entering, he saw that the Divine Wood Sect people seemed to have left in a hurry, with a table of food only half-eaten.
“Strange, what’s going on here?” Chen Mobai murmured to himself, then his eyes suddenly sharpened.
Something that would make King Zhou act this way must be a major threat to the survival of the sect! Had the Nanxuan Sect started a war with the Divine Wood Sect?
With this thought, Chen Mobai immediately rushed towards the station’s teleportation array, only to find that it had been sealed on the other side and was unusable.
Without wasting any time, Chen Mobai discerned the direction and headed towards the nearest Fang Market in Sky Country.
He needed to use the teleportation array to return to Giant Tree Ridge as quickly as possible and also to find out what had happened here in the Eastern Wilderness.
Xuan Light Market!
It was one of the four major markets of Sky Country, run by the Cultivator Family, the Tie family.
After the Divine Wood Sect took over, the Tie family was the first to defect in Sky Country; they even sent people to help attack Shake Mountain Peak in Rock Country.
Because of this feat, after the Divine Wood Sect eradicated Shake Mountain Peak, the Xuan Light Market was given to the Tie family. Later, when King Zhou came as the Town Guard, he also relied on the Tie family’s market to gradually stabilize his footing before the Nanxuan Sect could extend its hand.
Initially, it seemed like the Divine Wood Sect and the Tie family would be allies.
But today, the Divine Wood Sect’s shops in the Xuan Light Market were being looted by a group of suddenly invading Loose Cultivators and Rogue Cultivators.
If it weren’t for the Divine Wood Sect having a True Disciple, Zhou Bingyan, stationed here to command and promptly gathering the twenty or so Sect Disciples in the market, it’s feared that apart from the elixirs and artifacts being looted, all the Sect Disciples might have already perished.
