Opening the Water Mansion

After using the "Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman", Chen Mobai did not hesitate at all. He immediately affixed two Divine Speed Talisman and ran towards the location of the Water Mansion.

Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to retrieve the bag of Spirit Stone he had thrown away.

This was earned through hard work.

Having fled all the way, fearing being caught by the South Mountain Bandits, Chen Mobai finally managed to hide in the Water Mansion amidst his anxiety.

Having obtained the array flag of the Azure Water Formation, he felt slightly more at ease relying on this Second-Order Array.

Feeling the almost empty spiritual energy in his dantian, Chen Mobai didn't care about wasting it and directly gave himself a first-grade high-quality "Revival Talisman".

I recovered to full condition in the shortest possible time.

He also held onto his phone, ready to return to the Immortal Sect immediately if the other side showed any signs of breaking through the Azure Water Formation.

Then they waited anxiously for half a day, only to find that no enemy came looking for them.

This made Chen Mobai breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he still dared not let his guard down. While continuing to maximize the power of the Azure Water Formation, he began to prepare to break the Ren Shui Thunder Method Restriction on the remaining two side halls.

If those South Mountain Bandits really come to attack his door later, he plans to take the things in the side hall and teleport away directly.

Chen Mobai had already mastered the decryption method recorded by Liu Lengpei during his six months at the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy.

However, since they had no practical experience, they failed on their first attempt to crack the code.

But this was mainly because Chen Mobai was not calm and his hands were hesitant.

Before attempting the second breakthrough, he used the Nurturing Thought God Forging Technique to sit quietly for a quarter of an hour. Only after he felt his mind and spiritual energy had calmed down did he calmly execute the breakthrough method.

With a "click".

A crisp sound rang in my ears.

Chen Mobai saw the lightning arcs that had been covering the side hall gate dim until they disappeared completely.

The disappearance of the Restriction seemed to activate the door's mechanism, and under his expectant gaze, the door slowly opened.

A warm current rushed towards me.

Finally, he saw what was inside.

Inside was a plantation set up according to a specific situation.

A ditch was dug around the perimeter, through which flowed clear, bright water, the source of which was unknown.

Surrounded by ravines is a mound of earth, roughly five or six square meters in size.

These soils were different from what he usually saw; they were actually crimson red. Standing outside the door, Chen Mobai felt the warmth emanating from these Red Soil.

And in the Red Soil, four bamboo stalks are planted.

The bamboo stalks are like Green Jade, upright and straight, Bamboo Leaf are like swords, with faint golden and silver light visible.

Chen Mobai took a look and saw that it was one gold and three silver. This should be the Gold-edged Jade Bamboo and Silver-edged Jade Bamboo recorded in Liu Lengpei's notes.

Fortunately, this side hall provides a suitable environment for the growth of the Jade Bamboo; otherwise, they might have all withered and died after several decades.

Chen Mobai tested the area with a coin to confirm that there were no other Restriction inside. He then walked in and carefully examined the four Jade Bamboo. He also reached out and touched the only one with Gold-edged Jade Bamboo.

He saw that this bamboo seemed to have absorbed most of the spiritual energy over the years, growing the best, with even a bamboo flower bud at the top.

As Chen Mobai touched the bamboo, he felt a rich and pure spiritual energy swirling within each bamboo joint.

He bent down and squatted down, rummaging through the Red Soil around the Jade Bamboo growing, and sure enough, he found six or seven bamboo shoots.

This was Liu Lengpei's primary task in cultivating the Jade Bamboo in this Water Mansion. These Jade Bamboo Shoots and Blood Jade Carp were the favorite spiritual food ingredients of a certain Golden Core Ancestor of the Five Elements Sect.

However, Chen Mobai the Blood Jade Carp. I wonder if the Jade Bamboo Shoots also have the effect of increasing Spiritual Root.

Chen Mobai dared not be negligent. Using the method recorded in Liu Lengpei's notes, he dug out all the sprouting Jade Bamboo Shoots, then sealed them with Red Soil soil and put them into a pre-prepared plastic bag.

After picking the bamboo shoots, Chen Mobai reached out and plucked all the silver and Gold-edged Bamboo Leaf, folding them neatly and placing them into the other two boxes.

As early as when he learned that Liu Lengpei might be cultivating Jade Bamboo in the side hall of the Water Mansion, he had been searching for the effects of this Spirit Plant.

There is a shop in South Stream Market run by Green Bamboo Ridge that specializes in selling Jade Bamboo related products.

Chen Mobai casually inquired and obtained the information he wanted.

Jade Bamboo Shoots are a delicacy.

Bamboo Leaf can be used as Talisman Paper. Silver-edged Bamboo Leaf are First Grade Talisman Paper, and Gold-edged Bamboo Leaf are Second Grade Talisman Paper, which are perfect for crafting the Crimson Flame Sword Talisman.

Bamboo flowers are also a spiritual medicine. However, if you wait for the bamboo flowers to bear fruit and turn into bamboo seeds, you can eat them directly without refining them, which can improve your eyesight, clear your mind, and enhance your Spiritual Sense.

The remaining bamboo stalks, bamboo cores, and bamboo roots each have their uses, but to obtain them, it is necessary to cut them down.

The education Chen Mobai received from the Immortal Sect since childhood taught him that he should not cut down flowers and plants at will, perhaps to protect Spirit Plant?

Although this is the Sky River Realm, Chen Mobai felt that cutting down these Jade Bamboo was a waste of resources, and at most they should be sold as raw materials.

It's better to keep them for seed, so you can harvest Jade Bamboo Shoots, Bamboo Leaf, flowers, and fruits every year.

Of course, if the Water Mansion were to be breached, Chen Mobai would certainly be ruthless.

However, the focus is still on sustainable development.

He packed the silver-edged and Gold-edged Bamboo Leaf into two separate boxes, then put them in his backpack along with the plastic bag containing the Jade Bamboo Shoots, before heading out to open another side hall.

However, this side hall was Kong Kong, except for a futon in the very center.

It looks like Liu Lengpei's Cultivation Room.

After walking around inside and confirming there were no hidden compartments, Chen Mobai left somewhat disappointed.

He sent a message back to Earth Origin Star, bringing back the Jade Bamboo Shoots and Bamboo Leaf.

Then, eager to show off his culinary skills, he cut a Jade Bamboo Shoots shoot in half, sliced it into pieces, and then stir-fried it in oil with the cured meat he brought from Green Mountain Village.

A bowl of stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat made Chen Mobai finish the entire pot of Spirit Rice he had cooked.

Delicate fragrance, tender texture, crisp and refreshing taste...

He had never eaten such delicious food before.

After finishing his meal, Chen Mobai let out a burp and didn't forget to take out the Spirit Measuring Instrument.

[Spiritual Root: Metal 23, Wood 28, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10]

As expected, the Wood Spiritual Root increased by 1 point.

I just don't know if it will drop in price like the Blood Jade Carp, or if there's a limit to its value.

Even though he was already quite full, Chen Mobai still sliced and ate the remaining half of the Jade Bamboo Shoots raw for comparison.

Let's see if stir-frying will affect the quality of the Jade Bamboo Shoots.

After finishing the meal, he took out the Spirit Measuring Instrument to try it out.

Wood 29.

No impact.

Chen Mobai waited another night, and tested again the next morning, and sure enough, it was lost.

It became Wood 28.

He was slightly disappointed, but a thought immediately flashed through his mind.

It just so happens that his cultivation of the Pure Yang Dharma Body will damage his liver and gallbladder, so if he can replenish his liver and gallbladder with these Jade Bamboo Shoots in advance.

Is there any possibility...?
