Water Mansion.
Chen Mobai looked at the Green Paulownia seedling on his desk. This Spirit Wood, located in this Spiritually rich place, had already grown its third leaf.
It was remarkably similar to the Jade Paulownia he was contemplating within his Divine Sense.
The efficacy of the Fire Clearing Pili was indeed extraordinary.
After consuming one, his stable Divine Sense unexpectedly increased by a fifth. The third leaf bud on the seedling under contemplation quickly grew under the boosting effect of the pill’s potency.
His Divine Sense had directly breached into a level, advancing prematurely into a realm equivalent to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation.
Now, his Divine Sense could not only observe the Qi Sea in his Dantian but even extend it to his internal organs. However, if he wanted to scan every nook and cranny of his body along the meridians, he was still somewhat incapable. Considering the astonishing effects of the Fire Clearing Pill, Chen Mobai wanted to directly swallow the entire bottle that Qing Nu had given him. Unfortunately, even though this pill didn’t possess toxicity, it could only be consumed once every seven days.
Chen Mobai could only suppress the excitement in his heart and water the Green Paulownia seedling.
This Spirit Wood would continue to grow as long as it was in a place abundant in Spiritual Energy.
Since he brought it to the Water Mansion, he had never moved it.
But its growth was extremely slow. Despite being a year, it had only just grown another leaf.
Chen Mobai wondered if he should transplant it from the pot to the heap of red soil in the side hall.
But after some consideration, he decided not to risk disrupting the Jade Bamboo’s growth environment and abruptly transplant a new Spirit Wood.
Just when Chen Mobai was preparing to return to the Immortal Gate.
Suddenly, there was a movement in the Azure Water Formation.
The entire Formation seemed to be slightly ripples. It appeared as if someone was striking at the formation from outside.
Chen Mobai was alarmingly startled. He rushed out of his study, grabbed the Array Flag with one hand and his phone with the other.
He thought it might be the South Mountain Thieves at his door, but under the defense of the Rank-2 Large Formation and knowing the source of spiritual power of the formation was a top-grade Spirit Stone, he felt assured and did not retreat to the Immortal Gate at once.
“Who’s there?”
Chen Mobai took the Array Flag and walked out of the Water Mansion’s gate, and through the thick ripples on the lake’s surface, he saw only the ambiguo’us figure of a person standing on the water.
It seemed that the person had a way to see Chen Mobai encased within the formation and fired a Spirit Talisman towards him.
Chen Mobai initially did not want to let this Sound Transmission Talisman into the formation but then noticed that its style looked familiar.
Did it look similar to the Sound Transmission Talisman that Yuan Chiye used before?
He recalled another incident, quickly waved the Array Flag, and accepted the Spirit Talisman.
[We’re only missing you. We’ll be returning to the Giant Tree Ridge tomorrow, aren’t you regretting joining our Sect?]
It was indeed a True Disciple from the Divine Wood Sect.
Chen Mobai slapped his forehead. He never expected that people from the Divine Wood Sect would come knocking at his door first.
He waved the Array Flag and parted the water surface. Standing inside the mansion, he peered at the person on the lake; it was his younger-looking female senior apprentice, Ding Ying.
“I’m sorry, Sister Ding, I was pursued by the South Mountain Thieves awhile ago, and it was by extreme effort that I managed to escape back here. I feared they would attack me on my way back to the market, so I didn’t dare to go out.” Once Chen Mobai confirmed it was a True Disciple from Divine Wood Sect, he began to complain immediately.
Upon hearing this, Ding Ying tilted her head and let out a laugh, then swung her right hand that was behind her back to reveal two severed heads, throwing them in front of Chen Mobai.
“This…”
Upon closer inspection, Chen Mobai realized they were two members from the South Mountain Thieves who had tried to kill him.
One of them was indeed He Qun, his eyes wide open, unresigned even in death.”
“Many thanks, Sister Ding, for helping me. I won’t express my immense gratitude, but if there’s anything you need in the Sect in future, don’t hesitate to command me.”
Chen Mobai was full of gratitude. Regardless, he showed his attitude right away.
However, the Ding Ying opposite him waved her hand, indicating it was not her merit.
“It was Elder Brother E who personally took action and eradicated your troubles. However, Lei Tao, who was leading, escaped with an intermediate grade Rank-2 Spirit Talisman.”
“But you don’t have to worry about Lei Tao seeking vengeance. Elder Brother E is very concerned with his reputation, so him letting Lei Tao slip away has actually aroused his competitive spirit.”
“It seems that Elder Brother E has taken this matter as the last worldly concern before his Foundation Establishment and is currently pursuing the chief of the South Mountain Thieves thousands of miles away.”
After listening, Chen Mobai was taken aback.
Even though he knew joining a large sect would provide him with substantial backing, he hadn’t expected E Yun, the third-ranked True Disciple, to personally take action and remove his trouble.
However, this was definitely a good thing.
He had previously considered crossing Yun Country to go to Giant Tree Ridge, but now, he could simply follow the main squad.
“Thank you for Elder Brother E’s help.”
Chen Mobai paid his respects towards the void, just to show his manners.
“Hurry up and pack your things and come with me. Everyone else arrived at South Creek Fang Market three or four days ago. If it wasn’t for your special Spiritual Root Talent, I definitely wouldn’t have made a special trip to notify you.”
Ding Ying rolled her eyes as she spoke, seeming to think that Chen Mobai shouldn’t have made her go to such trouble.
“Yes, Elder Sister Ding.”
Chen Mobai didn’t even consider inviting Ding Ying into his Water Mansion for a cup of tea. After all, there were quite a few precious things inside, so it was best not to reveal them to outsiders.
After coming down, he only grabbed his backpack, then directly closed the Water Mansion and maximized the Array Flag of the Azure Water Formation.
“Let’s go.”
Ding Ying didn’t care about what Chen Mobai’s Cave Dwelling looked like. After seeing him come up, she took a green leaf out from her storage bag.
With a pinch of her cherry lips, she gently blew onto it.
The green leaf fluttered in the wind, transforming into a Green Leaf Boat.
“Get on.”
Ding Ying jumped on first. Chen Mobai had initially thought it was a Device for Reservoir crossing, but once he got on, he realized that it was his lack of experience.
This Green Leaf Boat, surprisingly, lifted them both into the sky.
Fortunately, he was not afraid of heights and had flown before. After taking a few deep breaths in mid-air, he quickly adjusted to the sensation of suddenly taking off.
Ding Ying looked surprised at this.
Even among the True Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect, not everyone owned a Flying Artifact.
The first time a cultivator flies into the sky, they would at least tremble in fear Chen Mobai, however, remained calm and composed. Could it be that he had experienced a Flying Artifact before?”
However, she didn’t bother to think too much about it.
Chen Mobai was also afraid of making mistakes by speaking too much, so he
kept his mouth shut the whole way.
The two were silent during the journey and arrived within the South Creek Fang Market’s range about half an hour later.
Ding Ying called back the Green Leaf Boat, landing it on a barren mountain in front of the market.
“Don’t let anyone know I have a Flying Artifact.”
After saying this, she headed towards the market.
“Yes, Elder Sister Ding.”
Chen Mobai quickly nodded in acknowledgment and followed her.
Indeed, the South Creek Fang Market was filled with many unfamiliar Loose Cultivators.
These were the new disciples admitted into the Divine Wood Sect by Yuan Chiye and Ding Ying after their talent assessments throughout Yun Country this month.
Chen Mobai counted roughly a hundred people.
Clearly divided into four groups, they were standing in the central plaza of the Fang Market.
As he approached, one group immediately surrounded him.
“Elder Brother Chen, you’ve finally arrived..”
