Spirit Ferrying Envoy Arrives

"Miss Zhuo, it's been a long time."

At the Talisman stall in South Stream Market, Chen Mobai saw a woman in yellow sitting on a small stool in her usual spot, selling some low- to mid-level Talisman. He went over and greeted her.

"It's you! I never expected to see you again."

Upon hearing the voice, Zhuo Ming looked up and saw Chen Mobai. She was slightly taken aback, then nodded and responded.

"It's like this, Miss Zhuo, didn't you say you were Talisman Master? I happen to have some questions about Talisman Making and would like to ask you for advice."

Chen Mobai did not directly ask Lu Shu about the matter, but instead chose a more subtle approach.

"Oh, it seems you also intend to join the Divine Wood Sect."

Upon hearing Chen Mobai's words, Zhuo Ming Ming's eyes showed wariness. At this point in time, almost all the Talisman Master still in South Stream Market were like this.

She also wanted to join the Divine Wood Sect, so the two of them would naturally become rivals.

"It is like this, Brother Lu Shu gave me ' The Divine Wood Sect Talisman Crafting Insights '. He said that after mastering the basic Talisman recorded in it, one would be more than qualified to join the Divine Wood Sect. However, I am not very bright and have tried many times, but I still cannot draw them successfully according to the strokes recorded in the book. I wonder if Miss Zhuo could help me solve this problem."

Chen Mobai's words neither revealed his suspicion of Lu Shu, nor did they arbitrarily raise his doubts about the errors in the Talisman in this book on Talisman Making making.

This talent for rhetoric is something he was born with.

His maternal grandfather, Tang Lu, said that if Chen Mobai did not become an official, it would be a great loss to the Immortal Sect.

"This one..."

Zhuo Ming saw the "Divine Wood Sect Talisman Crafting Insights" that Chen Mobai had taken out, and her eyes began to dart around, as if she knew something, but in the end she shook her head.

"Go ask Lu Shu yourself. I haven't read this book either, so I can't answer your questions."

"Oh, so the Talisman that Miss Zhuo is selling at her stall weren't drawn by herself?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai pointed with great surprise to the Revival Talisman, Renewal Talisman, and New Life Talisman displayed on Zhuo Ming's blanket. These were the basic Talisman used by the Divine Wood Sect to recruit Rogue Cultivator.

"I have something to do today, so I'll close up shop now."

Zhuo Ming wasn't thick-skinned enough. After Chen Mobai exposed her, she was a little embarrassed and annoyed. She immediately packed up the blanket and Talisman, grabbed her small stool, and went back to her Cave Mansion.

Chen Mobai did not stop her.

At least, judging from Zhuo Ming's attitude, she should know that the "Divine Wood Sect Talisman Crafting Insights" in Lu Shu's hands is problematic.

"Take it slow. Once we're in the Divine Wood Sect, there will be time for her to speak."

Chen Mobai wasn't in a hurry.

He had just looked at the Talisman Zhuo Ming had made. If the Divine Wood Sect really lost a lot of disciples in Cloud Dream Marsh this time, someone of her level, as long as her Spiritual Root talent wasn't too far off, should also be recruited.

Once the two become fellow disciples, and time passes, with each other putting themselves in each other's shoes, Zhuo Ming will eventually tell him the truth.

Chen Mobai was not affected by this incident.

Now that he had come out of the Cave Mansion, he went to the shop selling spiritual herbs at the Divine Wood Sect and chatted with the shopkeeper for a long time.

However, while he was enjoying his leisurely time, the Rogue Cultivator keeping watch in the market were getting a little anxious.

"Didn't you say he would leave soon?"

"It's because the Spirit Ferrying Envoy of the Divine Wood Sect left early and is about to arrive in the Yun Country. He probably wants to join the Divine Wood Sect. After receiving the news, he stayed behind."

In the same alley, He Qun looked extremely impatient with his fellow Rogue Cultivator who were practicing the Golden Light Art.

"What can we do? He won't leave the market, and we can't make a move here."

"What else can you do but wait, wait for him to leave the market."

After saying this, He Qun waved his only remaining left hand and turned to leave.

"You..."

One of the Rogue Cultivator, seeing his attitude, flew into a rage and was about to attack when he was pulled back.

"Senior brother."

"We can only wait. If there's no chance, then forget it."

With a sigh, the two disappeared into the alley.

After leaving the alley, He Qun wandered around and entered a Cave Mansion.

"Seventh Brother, what do these two remnants of the Mysterious Light Sect have to say?"

"What else can we say? We dare not make a move in the market; we can only wait for that kid to leave."

"It's a pity that the kid was too cautious. He didn't leave the Luo Family's Spirit Camel on the way back, so the two of us didn't find an opportunity."

Besides He Qun, there were two other people in the Cave Mansion.

If Chen Mobai were here, he would definitely recognize these two as the Rogue Cultivator who fought alongside him against the Demon Beast on the Liu Family's Icebreaker Ship.

He thought that He Qun's team was down to just him, but little did he know that they had broken up into smaller groups.

"What will we do if he really joins the Divine Wood Sect?"

One of the middle-aged men, whose face was gloomy, spoke up and asked.

"After the two brothers who made the move get their hands on the goods, we'll kill them. It's to avenge that kid. Even if the Divine Wood Sect finds out who we are, they'll still reward us."

Another boy, who looked the youngest, spoke calmly.

"Wonderful."

Chen Mobai was completely unaware of these undercurrents targeting him.

After leaving the Divine Wood Sect's shop, he learned that the Spirit Ferrying Envoy was one of the top three masters among the Twenty-Four True Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.

It is said that he has already obtained the Foundation Establishment, but he feels that his state of mind is still a little flawed, so he took the initiative to accept this year's Spirit Crossing Mission. While searching for talents for the sect, he also made a final summary of his Qi Refining career.

Three more days passed, and Chen Mobai noticed that there were more and more unfamiliar faces in South Stream Market.

Qi Er told him that these were all reclusive Rogue Cultivator in various parts of Yun Country. After receiving news that the Divine Wood Sect's Spirit Ferrying Envoy had already set off, they came here to try their luck.

Chen Mobai tried to contact a few people, but found that some of them couldn't even draw a "Revival Talisman".

Those who possess Zhuo Ming's level of Talisman Making are among the best.

I only found out after asking that this is how Rogue Cultivator are.

They are busy earning Spirit Stone, cultivating, and fighting; they have no time to delve into advanced Hundred Arts of Cultivation Talisman Making.

While marveling once again at the harsh cultivation environment of the Sky River Realm, Chen Mobai also understood why these Rogue Cultivator were so eager to join the Great Sect.

Cultivation techniques, Hundred Arts of Cultivation! These things are incomplete among Rogue Cultivator; only sects and aristocratic families possess complete lineages.

As for those who wish to Foundation Establishment and inherit the Third-Order Hundred Arts of Cultivation, only the Seven Great Sects in the entire Eastern Wasteland possess this knowledge.

While marveling at the preciousness of knowledge in the Sky River Realm, Chen Mobai was also grateful that knowledge could be freely acquired within the Immortal Sect, and what he lacked was resources.

Two more days have passed.

The Spirit Ferrying Envoy from the Divine Wood Sect finally arrived at South Stream Market amidst much anticipation.
