Chapter 969: Chapter 532: Huangquan Soil_2 Chapter 969: Chapter 532: Huangquan Soil_2 Vice Hall Master Quan Shanlin of Penalty Evil Hall, after hearing this, exchanged a look with Fu Zongjue and immediately went out to carry out the task with murderous aura.
The news that Zhou Shengqing had killed five Golden Core cultivators quickly spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness, drawing astonishment and reverence from all cultivators, with many even believing that Zhou Shengqing had successfully achieved “Nascent Soul Formation”.
When the Five Elements Sect, Back to Sky Valley, and Snow-blowing Palace heard this news, their entire sects were shaken, with several Golden Core cultivators immediately inquiring and even sending people to Giant Tree Ridge to offer condolences and probe the situation.
It was still those three familiar faces, Chen Mobai met with Xue Ting once and then sent Yue Zutao to deal with the other two.
“Ming’er, can you communicate with this Spirit Plant?”
After dealing with sect affairs, Chen Mobai brought Zhuo Ming over to the Soul Nourishing Wood, and she nodded, walking over to begin the attempt.
“Wait, this Spirit Plant is a Yin object from the Underworld, take this mirror with you.”
Chen Mobai instantly stopped the rash Zhuo Ming and placed the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror in her palm to prevent her from being harmed by the Yin Qi of the Soul Nourishing Wood.
“Yes, Master.”
Zhuo Ming took the mirror, closed her eyes, and touched one of the branches of the Soul Nourishing Wood, only to release it a moment later with a pale face.
If not for the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, she likely would have been invaded by the Yin Qi and suffered loss of Qi and blood.
“The grade is too high, and it’s not planted on the Earth Vein of Xiao Nanshan, so I can’t communicate with it for now.”
Zhuo Ming spoke the truth, and Chen Mobai nodded, the result within his expectations.
“Within this pot is Rank-5 Huangquan soil, a high-grade Spirit Soil, greatly beneficial for your practice of Mother Earth Cultivation. In the future, when you have time, come here to try to communicate. I will transfer a stream of Spiritual Power into you with the Flame Lighting Technique, to ensure you are unharmed while making contact.”
Chen Mobai asked Zhuo Ming to help, not only because her Ten Thousand Spirit Rhinoceros Abilities could aid in the rank increase of the Soul Nourishing Wood, but also because Rank-5 Spirit Soil is exceedingly rare.
Even inside the Divine Tree Secret Realm, one could only obtain Rank-4 Everlife Soil.
Zhuo Ming’s practice of Mother Earth Cultivation required integrating the essence of myriads of Spirit Soils, achieving the Mother Qi of All Things to cultivate and nurture various Spirit Plants in the world.
This pot of Rank-5 Huangquan soil was more precious to her than any Elixir, heavenly and earthly treasures.
“Thank you, Master.”
After Chen Mobai had transferred Pure Yang Spiritual Power into Zhuo Ming, he also thoroughly cleansed the residual cold Qi inside her, making her face bloom with a healthy glow that left her feeling spirited and revitalized.
“Junior Brother Chen, would you mind if I give some instruction to your disciple?”
After Zhuo Ming left, the apparition of Zhou Shengqing emerged from the Soul Nourishing Wood, asking something that surprised Chen Mobai.
“Ming’er’s practice differs from Brother Zhou’s technique, but if Brother Zhou is willing to provide guidance, I would be deeply grateful.”
Regardless, Zhou Shengqing was a grand cultivator who had stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm, and even if his teaching skills were not as strong as Chen Mobai’s, his experience in cultivation was surely far greater. His willingness to instruct Zhuo Ming was certainly favourable.
“I cannot move while inside the Soul Nourishing Wood, and I will invariably be lonely in the coming days. Having a disciple to teach will serve as a pastime for me.”
Chen Mobai nodded and expressed his gratitude to Zhou Shengqing.
“Ming’er is somewhat slow and has many questions. Brother Zhou, please be patient with her in the future.”
Zhou Shengqing waved his hand after hearing this, indicating that even if he had to teach a rather slow student, he could cultivate them into talents like Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu in the coming century.
What he did not realize was that Chen Mobai was being modest.
After staying for half a month to ensure that Zhou Shengqing’s soul had adjusted, Mo Douguang also prepared to leave.
Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue personally escorted him to the Teleportation Array, carrying the pot with the Soul Nourishing Wood.
At that time, more good news arrived.
It came from the Town Guard of Rock Country, a E Yun Sect envoy, who confirmed through his own informants that Xuan Shu of the Nanxuan Sect, after fleeing from Giant Tree Ridge, had not returned to Treasure Color Mountain.
In other words, Nanxuan Sect was now without a Golden Core cultivator to sit in charge.
“According to our previous discussion, we will gradually nibble away at Nanxuan sect’s share of the Fang Market. As long as achievements are made there, supporting him to become the Sect Leader after I step down will be justified,”
The one who conveyed this message was Yu Lian. Chen Mobai trusted him greatly. After giving him some instructions, Chen Mobai also wrote a letter for him to take to E Yun.
“When Xuan Shu fled, he was severely injured by a blast of my Longevity True Qi. With his cultivation level, suppressing and expelling it would be quite troublesome, so he must have gone back to Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to seek help from Golden Wind Ancestor.”
After hearing about this, Zhou Shengqing expressed his own thoughts.
After using the Reversed Longevity Technique, his strength was so formidable that even if Golden Wind Ancestor came, he would not be afraid. Although Xuan Shu managed to escape from his grasp, he was still unable to get away unscathed.
Longevity True Qi is ordinary in Magic Duels; however, it has a long-lasting aftereffect, and at that time, it was at the Rank-4 level. Without heavenly and earthly treasures, the most likely scenario for Xuan Shu, given his cultivation level, was to leave the Eastern Wilderness to heal first.
“Let him live a little longer then. After I make my breakthrough, I will slay him,”
Chen Mobai spoke calmly. Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue both took it for granted that sword cultivators are invincible among equals in the same realm.
Not to mention someone like Chen Mobai, an unparalleled genius of the Sword Dao.
“Apprentice nephew Zeng has appraised them. Those three pills are indeed Blood Spirit Pills. It’s a mystery how such a precious elixir came into the hands of a mere loose cultivator.”
After finishing the discussion about Xuan Shu, Fu Zongjue brought out the elixirs Zhou Shengqing had obtained from killing an enemy.
The Blood Spirit Pill is used by Golden Core Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm to break through their bottlenecks, quite similar to an upgraded version of the Big Barrier Breaking Pill from the Immortal Gates.
Although Chen Mobai does not advocate using elixirs to enhance cultivation levels, he believes it is acceptable to assist with elixirs when breaking through barriers.
It just so happened that Fu Zongjue had been stuck at the peak of the early Golden Core Stage for decades, and the Blood Spirit Pill was perfect for him to take.
“Fu Shixiong, take them all for your use. There’s no need to save any for me,”
Chen Mobai generously gave all three Blood Spirit Pills to Fu Zongjue. Although he possessed the Flame Lighting Technique to neutralize pill toxins, it was better not to take any elixirs from the Tianhe Realm if possible.
Fu Zongjue did not stand on ceremony. Divine Wood Sect needed him to ascend.
It was unclear whether it was due to the pressure or the readiness of his realm, but Fu Zongjue only needed to take one Blood Spirit Pill to successfully break through to the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage.
After consolidating his realm, he emerged from seclusion, full of vigor.
“Junior Brother Chen, I do not need these two Blood Spirit Pills anymore. You can have them.”
The Blood Spirit Pills were useful for breaking through from the early to the mid stage, but almost useless from the mid to the late stage. Therefore, after his breakthrough, Fu Zongjue gave the remaining pills to Chen Mobai.
Chen Mobai did not refuse and accepted them, planning to have Qing Nu help appraise them later.
“Sect Leader, I have decided to go to Golden Crow Immortal City.”
One day, Chu Zuoshu came to visit and shared his decision.
Just like when Chen Mobai reached the Foundation Establishment stage, Fu Zongjue and Zhou Shengqing suggested that he go to Golden Crow Immortal City to keep a low profile and see whether it was possible to create a new channel for the sect there.
“Hmm, take these with you. If you encounter any unsolvable problems, seek out a loose cultivator Nascent Soul named Huyan Zhenglai. He has a good relationship with me,”
As Zhou Shengqing spoke, he asked Fu Zongjue to give a token to Chu Zuoshu.
“Isn’t Ancestor Hunyuan said to have good relations with the Nascent Soul Ancestor of Sun Bathing Sea? Why go to Golden Crow Immortal City and not pay a visit to him?”
After Chu Zuoshu left, Chen Mobai asked with some surprise.
“He is a friend of our master, but we are not our master, only his disciples, and merely at the Foundation Establishment stage at that.”
“Besides, the one to inherit our master’s mantle is ultimately Zhou Ye. We are considered to be renegades, and going to visit Baiwu Ancestor without being scolded would already be fortunate,”
Zhou Shengqing’s words made Chen Mobai realize something once again.
Only when one is strong in oneself, is one truly powerful.
