Chapter 996: Chapter 546 Peach Blossom Sage_2 Chapter 996: Chapter 546 Peach Blossom Sage_2 This spell, reputed to control all the fires of the world, finally had its moment in his hands.
Three days later, Chen Mobai had completely mastered one of the Gold Flames.
Next was the use of the Ignition Technique.
The power of this spell lay in the ability to use Pure Yang Spiritual Power as fuel to ignite the fire that the cultivator mastered thoroughly.
Chen Mobai immediately transformed the Gold Flame he controlled with the Flame Manipulation Technique into a seed, constantly infusing Spiritual Power and catalyzing it with the Green Flames Sword Slaughter to enhance it.
Unfortunately, the Ignition Technique was too consumptive of Pure Yang Spiritual Power.
With Chen Mobai’s Gold Core first-layer Cultivation Level, he could only support it for three days, after which, even while situated atop the most abundant Fourth Grade Spirit Vein of the Danxia Mountain Range, he needed to meditate and cultivate for seven days to recover.
This is no good, it’s too slow!
Chen Mobai couldn’t help but frown slightly, the main reason being that his current task was to stay put here, and in addition to Qing Nu, Lan Haitian also came from time to time to talk to him about the latest cleanup situation in Red Sandstone City, so he didn’t dare to use Spirit Stones to recover.
If he didn’t care about conserving Spirit Stones, his recovery time could be reduced by more than half.
Why hasn’t the Peach Blossom Sage come yet?
Just as Chen Mobai grumbled daily, finally, on a breezy and sunny clear day, he waited for the headmaster of the Jumang Academy to arrive.
Lan Haitian, leading a group of law enforcement cultivators from the Wangwu Cave Heaven, stood respectfully beside a beautiful woman in a pink and white long dress.
Riding the clouds in the sky, they flew toward where Chen Mobai was.
This was Chen Mobai’s first encounter with the Peach Blossom Sage.
To be honest, in his life, he had seen many beauties, whether it was Meng Huang or Yan Bingxuan, all with beauty that defied nature, thousands of charming and enchanting looks, he had also seen the youthful and vibrant Shi Wanyu, and Qing Nu by his side was even more of a national beauty, stunningly unconventional.
But compared to the Peach Blossom Sage, they all seemed to pale in comparison.
Her beauty was not like a human’s, as if she held all the beauty of every woman Chen Mobai had ever seen, with flowing ink-like black hair, slender phoenix eyes with a clear smile, like the bright moon or lakes, high and delicate nose, rosy cheeks, flawless oval face paired with her reddened lips, all making her skin more radiant than snow, clear and lustrous as jade.
The Peach Blossom Sage possessed the voluptuous figure of a mature woman, yet the fine and fresh beauty of a young girl, and even in her brows and eyes, there was a youthful vivacity, anyone who looked upon her would see any kind of feminine charm they wished to see.
[This must be what a sylph is like!]
Somehow, this thought surfaced in Chen Mobai’s mind.
And at this moment, the Peach Blossom Sage had already descended with Lan Haitian and a large group of people to the peak of the Danxia Mountain Range, her eyes fixed on the towering Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree.
“Paying respects to the Sage!”
Chen Mobai immediately went over with Qing Nu to give their salutations.
“Greetings, Headmaster!”
Qing Nu also followed suit in greeting her.
After hearing this, the Peach Blossom Sage turned her head, saw Qing Nu, smiled lightly, and nodded slightly as a return gesture.
Then, the Peach Blossom Sage kept sizing up Chen Mobai, whose bone structure was clear and distinguished, and her gaze grew more and more approving. Yet, within that approval, there was also a hint of faint regret.
“Shuang has told me about you. She said you’re not bad.”
As Chen Mobai felt increasingly self-conscious under the Peach Blossom Sage’s gaze, she finally spoke up.
“Elder Sister Pei’s swordsmanship is dazzlingly brilliant; I deeply admire it. Since our parting at the Mountain and Sea Academy, we’ve often exchanged insights on the path of sword cultivation.”
This was the truth; Pei Qingshuang often chatted with Chen Mobai, usually under the guise of seeking advice on the Sword Dao.
If it were someone else, Chen Mobai would have pretended not to notice.
But in the case of Pei Qingshuang, he was willing to engage in exchange, sharing his own revelations on the Sword Dao.
Although Chen Mobai’s Sword Dao Realm was granted by the Empowerment of the Great Dao Tree, it was a solid realm. After many years of application, at least his firsthand experience in use far surpassed that of Pei Qingshuang, a Foundation Establishment Practitioner.
Especially when his sword light transformed and he evolved the Five Elements Sword Slaughter Formation, such a Sword Dao Realm could only be achieved by a handful of sword dao grandmasters in the Immortal Gate, such as Nangong Xuanyu.
Pei Qingshuang, at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, spent the long wait for the Golden Liquid Jade Pill cultivating her bond with the Qing Shuang Sword, attempting to attain the unity of man and sword, Clear Heart of Sword, as well as practicing the Cold Frost Sword Evil to pass the time.
Among Chen Mobai’s Five Elements Sword Sha, the Water Attribute Sword Killing was based on Profound Ice Evil, similar to her Sword Evil. Relying on the experience of having gone two steps further, he often pretended to be an expert while chatting with Pei Qingshuang.
A person’s reputation, like a tree’s shadow!
Since Chen Mobai was mistakenly recognized by the Immortal Gate as having achieved Taoist Golden Core, Pei Qingshuang had started to regard him as a second Ancestor Baiguang, treating his words as gospel truth.
Moreover, Chen Mobai’s Sword Dao Realm was indeed two levels higher than hers; his advice was indeed true and useful experience. Each time, it benefited Pei Qingshuang immensely, enlightening her.
As a result, every time Pei Qingshuang returned home, she praised Chen Mobai as the person with the greatest swordsmanship talent under heaven and earth in front of the Peach Blossom Sage.
When the mother and daughter chatted privately, they would be a bit more unrestrained. In Pei Qingshuang’s opinion, Ancestor Baiguang was not as good as Chen Mobai at the same age and stage.
And for such an outstanding talent to be indifferent to fame and fortune and wholeheartedly devoted to family was extraordinary.
Such character was simply the most ideal son-in-law material.
It’s just that Pei Qingshuang was still a bit too shy. Every time the Peach Blossom Sage asked her if she had taken a liking to Chen Mobai, she would talk around the question or directly run out the door with the excuse of going to drink tea with Wen Ren Xuewei to avoid the issue.
“Chen Mobai, would you be willing to join my Jumang Academy?” asked the Peach Blossom Sage suddenly, catching Chen Mobai entirely by surprise.
“This… I graduated from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, and my teacher’s position is still there, Peach Blossom Sage’s kindness is appreciated…”
Among the Four Great Daoist Sects, Jumang Academy and Dance Tool Dao Academy have the best relationship. In the past, Che Yucheng and Master Xin Ji were sworn brothers.
And Master Chengxuan’s success in Nascent Soul Formation was much indebted to Jumang Academy for providing a tube of Heavenly True Water to help him escape the calamity of Heart Flame burning his body.
But even with such a good relationship between the two sects, was it appropriate to steal his talent while so many people were watching?
Not only did Chen Mobai think so, Lan Haitian also had the same thought.
“I’m not asking you to transfer your position to Jumang. Instead, I’m asking if you would transfer your household registration here. My daughter, Shuang’er, although she cannot bear children, has inherited my appearance and figure. The higher her cultivation, the more beautiful she becomes. I have considered all the outstanding men in the Immortal Gate, and you are the most pleasing to my eyes. Would you be interested in becoming Tao companions with her, to spend the rest of your life together?”
Chen Mobai considered himself to have a strong psychological resilience, but he was still a bit shaken by the Peach Blossom Sage’s blunt proposal.
“This… I don’t have any romantic feelings for Elder Sister Pei, and I am a man of few words who knows only cultivation and farming. I can’t really be considered a good match, so I must decline!”
Chen Mobai thought about it and decided to follow his heart, gently declining.
This kind of matter required a firm decision; indecision would only lead to chaos. There was no need for ambiguity.
As soon as he finished his statement, everyone present looked at him with astonished eyes. This was an offer of marriage from a Nascent Soul Superior, and Pei Qingshuang could grow to be as beautiful as the Peach Blossom Sage, potentially the future number one beauty of the Immortal Gate.
Only the gaze by Chen Mobai’s side was not one of shock, but of tenderness and trust.
It was Qing Nu.
Having spent so many years together, she had absolute confidence in Chen Mobai. She believed he was someone extremely proud, with neither family background nor beauty fitting his criteria for a spouse. The friends he chose to spend time with were soulmates with whom he shared mutual understanding.
He would never treat someone differently for being useful!
What about a fairy child like Pei Qingshuang!
In Chen Mobai’s eyes, her place was certainly not as significant as Qing Nu’s, and perhaps not even as high as Yan Bingxuan’s.
Thinking this way, Qing Nu felt that all the hardships she had endured in life were worth it for meeting Chen Mobai, a partner with whom she could share complete devotion.
“It’s because of you that I am able to persevere in the bitter sea of the Immortal Gate.
Qing Nu was an orphan, with her brother and sister gone, her teacher Gu Changfeng nearing death, she no longer had any family ties to hold onto in the Immortal Gate.
The pillar of her heart was solely Chen Mobai.
