Everyone's Gains from the Secret Realm

But I admire him as much as I admire him.

Chen Mobai immediately thought of the most serious problem.

Where is he going to get three Longevity Tree Fruit, and a standard set of small, medium, and large ones at that?

The most recent record of someone from the Divine Wood Sect obtaining the Longevity Tree Fruit is that of Yue Zutao.

He didn't know whether the Longevity Tree Fruit he obtained was a Small Fruit, Medium Fruit, or a Great Fruit.

In other words, the only way to definitively obtain the Longevity Tree Fruit is through the Magic Treasure Tree.

However, Chen Mobai himself no longer had the means to enter the Divine Tree and obtain its fruit.

The only hope is that the junior brothers and sisters of the Divine Wood Sect will successfully Foundation Establishment and enter this secret realm in the next attempt.

Then another problem arose.

What kind of fruit you can get from the Magic Treasure Tree depends entirely on luck; no one can guarantee that you will definitely get the Longevity Tree Fruit.

And even if you obtained the Longevity Tree Fruit, why would anyone give it to you? Chen Mobai paced back and forth in front of the Talent Tree, pondering how to solve this problem.

Immediately, he clapped his hands, thinking of his two apprentices.

If I fully support them in their Foundation Establishment, and if they can obtain the Longevity Tree Fruit, then giving them enough Spirit Stone or cultivation techniques in exchange would be acceptable.

However, even if the two of them are very lucky and manage to obtain the two Longevity Tree Fruit they need from the Magic Treasure Tree, they will still be one short.

The first volume of this Two Aspects Rotating Technique requires a complete set of small, medium, and large Longevity Tree Fruit. After breaking through a realm by consuming the tree fruits, one must consume the entire set of fruits to achieve Foundation Establishment perfection and transform them into resources for Core Formation in another cultivation method.

No, it doesn't necessarily have to be a complete set.

You can cultivate yourself to break through to the mid- Foundation Establishment stage, and then consume the Medium Fruit and Great Fruit.

But in this way, time will still be wasted.

Before obtaining this Two Aspects Rotating Technique, he patiently cultivated the Longevity Spiritual Power step by step to break through his realm.

However, now that he knows about this quick method, he is somewhat unwilling to slowly condense Liquid Spiritual Power and spend twenty years to break through.

However, there isn't a better solution right now, so this is the only plan we can make for the time being.

The next priority is to help my two apprentices Foundation Establishment.

At the very least, I need to ensure they succeed in Foundation Establishment on their first try, so they'll have a chance to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm... Hmm, could I help them sneak in?

Or perhaps, Foundation Establishment who have smuggled themselves into the Immortal Sect have come to reap the rewards!

However, Chen Mobai immediately dismissed the thought as soon as it came to mind.

I would rather cultivate and improve my realm step by step than let the secret of the Turtle Treasure be exposed.

It's just time, isn't it?

He is only 24 years old now, and with the lifespan added by the Longevity Sutra, he has at least 150 years left to Core Formation.

Next, we can try to recruit more honest and trustworthy disciples, and then collect information on Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Divine Tree Secret Realm Divine Wood Sect and even the Five Elements Sect, to see if anyone else besides Yue Zutao has obtained the Longevity Tree Fruit.

Chen Mobai thought there should be one.

After all, in the Sky River Realm, due to the different atmosphere, many cultivators prefer to keep their trump cards hidden and not reveal their gains.

At the same time, we should also start collecting some elixirs that can extend lifespan.

After all, another side effect of consuming the Longevity Tree Fruit is that it will consume one's lifespan to break through to a higher realm.

After making a plan of what needed to be done, Chen Mobai calmed down again.

Only then did he remember that after using the Wood Spirit Talisman, he still had one more chance to exploit the Talent Tree.

After injecting Pure Yang Spiritual Power, another secret technique fell into his brow.

The Profound Fire Divine Thunder Technique! It is a powerful offensive spell. After mastering it, it can be made into Talisman, with the highest grade reaching the Third Grade.

Moreover, its power is extremely strong and yang, making it the nemesis of evil spirits and ghosts.

However, after the immense surprise of the Two Aspects Rotating Technique, Chen Mobai no longer felt anything about this spell.

While the Wood Spirit Talisman was still active, he flew towards the Great Dao Tree while studying Wood Attribute spells.

Last time he used a trick to take ten steps, this time he plans to rely on himself and see how many steps he can take.

The next day, Little South Mountain.

While his two disciples were still away, Chen Mobai pondered the method of refining the Wood Spirit Talisman.

This Talisman requires 5,000 Merit Points to buy. He plans to give one to each of his two disciples when they Divine Tree Secret Realm, and instruct them to use it in front of the Magic Treasure Tree.

Because it was too expensive, he felt it would be more cost-effective to draw it himself.

A short while later, the Senior Disciple, Liu Wenbai, arrived.

This puzzled Chen Mobai.

Zhuo Ming should be at the foot of the mountain looking after Spirit Field, so logically she should have arrived first.

"Junior Sister Zhuo went to deliver goods to the shop in Divine Wood City yesterday. If she receives the Message Talisman, she will probably be a little late."

Liu Wenbai knew that his master only Supreme Sword Dao and didn't pay much attention to these trivial matters, so he immediately spoke up to explain on behalf of his junior sister.

"I almost forgot to tell her about this."

Chen Mobai looked enlightened. As Foundation Establishment Elder of the sect, in addition to the territory of Little South Mountain, he also had a courtyard and a shop in Divine Wood City, which he had previously told Zhuo Ming to manage.

According to him, he should be selling Spirit Rice and Spirit Wine. I wonder how business is going? "Then let's not wait for him. It's rare for me to come out of seclusion. Tell me about the difficulties you've encountered in your cultivation..."

Chen Mobai shook his head, forgetting his achievement of only seven steps in front of the Great Dao Tree yesterday.

After listening, Liu Wenbai respectfully recounted some of his doubts when breaking through to the ninth level.

Chen Mobai possessed the Formless Puppet, and last night he used a Mid-grade Spirit Stone to rehearse Liu Wenbai's journey to Foundation Establishment, so he was fully aware of all the problems Liu Wenbai might encounter.

After answering several questions in Liu Wenbai's mind, Chen Mobai took the initiative and asked his Senior Disciple some questions that clearly existed in his cultivation but which he himself had not noticed.

When Zhuo Ming arrived at Little South Mountain, she found Liu Wenbai drenched in sweat, but sitting cross-legged in front of his master's wooden house with a look of enlightenment on his face.

"He's here. Under my guidance, Wen Bai has had a sudden enlightenment. I estimate that he will be able to break through to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer after he wakes up."

Upon hearing Chen Mobai's words, Zhuo Ming's face instantly filled with envy.

In the past six months, she has only managed to rebuild her Qi Refining to the fourth level, and she doesn't know when she will be able to Qi Cultivation Perfection.

However, Zhuo Ming was used to hardship since childhood. Although she envied Liu Wenbai's progress, she knew that she had to take it one step at a time and did not rush to make a breakthrough.

She knew very well that as long as she clung to the coattails of the master in front of her, she could at least guarantee a Foundation Establishment Pill in the future.

"Master, this is the bill from Little South Mountain Shop. Please take a look."

Chen Mobai saw the book that Zhuo Ming handed him, casually took it and glanced at it, and found that the Spirit Rice was selling very well.

In just six months, all the 30 mu of land harvested last year in Little Sun Ridge, after deducting the amount taken by the Spiritual Plant Department, has been sold.

I earned a total of 150 Low-grade Spirit Stone.

Then I looked at the Spirit Wine. Half a year had passed, and only eighteen jars had been sold.

"Did I price my teachings too high?"

After putting down the ledger, Chen Mobai asked Zhuo Ming with some confusion.

He set the price of Jade Sprout Spirit Wine at 5 Low-grade Spirit Stone per small jar.

This price is five times higher than the average one Spirit Stone on the market, but his Spirit Wine is more than ten times better in both taste and flavor.

This has been personally verified by Sun Gaochang and others; it is indeed overwhelmingly delicious.

Logically speaking, this price isn't expensive.

"Master, most of the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect are like me, struggling to cultivate every day by chopping Spirit Stone."

"Even those with substantial wealth are thinking about saving Spirit Stone to buy Magic Artifact or cultivation techniques; they would never be willing to spend Spirit Stone on food and drink."

"With these 5 Spirit Stone, wouldn't it be better to buy a bottle of pills to enhance spiritual power?"

Over the years, Zhuo Ming has come to know that although Chen Mobai is somewhat slow-witted in some ways, he is very easygoing and doesn't have the airs of a teacher. He is also no longer as reserved as he was at the beginning.

"I see. It seems my wine can only be sold in the high-end market."

After listening, Chen Mobai understood completely.

He looked at the ledger again and found that most of the eighteen jars of wine were bought by his good friends, and they were mostly Foundation Establishment Elder.

Only people of this caliber have the financial means to buy two jars of Spirit Wine to satisfy their appetites.

"Although Master's Spirit Wine can promote cultivation, it cannot compare with real pills. If we can improve this aspect, it might become a hit in the low-end market."

Zhuo Ming, however, had a different opinion, which was completely different from Chen Mobai's idea of making things high-end.

What do Qi Cultivation Cultivator value most? It's the improvement of their Cultivation Realm! That's why pills are the best-selling and most in-demand medicines.

"My disciple, what do you mean..."

"Master, I'm thinking about whether we can combine the Hundred Herbs Pill or the Spirit Nourishing Soup with the Spirit Wine to create a new wine that is not only delicious but also helpful for cultivation, and may even help you break through to a higher realm."

Chen Mobai naturally memorized the two elixir formulas in the Hundred Herbs Sutra that Zhuo Ming gave him when he became her disciple.

There was no objection to her idea.

"Do you have a solution?"

"There is a little bit of need for a trustworthy Alchemy to help, otherwise your brewing recipe might be leaked, Master."

Zhuo Ming made a small request.

Before she became his disciple, Chen Mobai had already been helping her with brewing wine.

After they became acquainted, their relationship progressed further, which goes without saying. To save himself trouble, he simply passed on all the yeast to her.

Now, Chen Mobai no longer needs to take the lead in brewing Jade Sprout Spirit Wine; Zhuo Ming can handle it all perfectly.

In a few years, I estimate that it will taste even better than what he brewed.

"A trustworthy Alchemy? I don't really have one here."

[They do have some from the Immortal Sect.] But there's no way they could bring Qing Nü over.

Thinking this way, Chen Mobai shook his head under his disciple's expectant gaze.

"Master, aren't you on good terms with Uncle Yan?"

Zhuo Ming reminded Chen Mobai of something.

Yan Jinye, as the former Chief of the Alchemy Department and a disciple of Zeng Woyou, is indeed considered an outstanding Alchemy in the Sky River Realm.

"We've only met a few times, but it's possible to keep in touch. However, she's Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so she definitely can't come over to help you."

In the end, Chen Mobai remembered this point again and felt that it was still not very reliable.

"We can ask Uncle Yan to introduce some reliable senior brothers and sisters in the Alchemy Department. If Master puts in a good word for us, it will definitely be more respectable than me running around like crazy."

Chen Mobai nodded; it was just a matter of mentioning it once.

It's been a long time since I've had a get-together with E Yun Yuan Chiye, and others, so I might as well invite Yan Jinye. She should be willing to do so.

"These are all minor matters. Although I have entrusted you with managing the Spirit Field and shops, all of this must be secondary to your own cultivation. After all, for us cultivators, achieving immortality and attaining enlightenment is the most important thing."

What he meant by saying this was that Chen Mobai didn't take Zhuo Ming's suggestion seriously.

He only opened that shop to sell Spirit Rice Spirit Wine because he didn't want to waste it. The income of a few hundred Spirit Stone a year was barely enough for him now.

Hearing this, Zhuo Ming looked enlightened and said that she would definitely focus on cultivation from now on.

Next, Chen Mobai fulfilled his duties as a teacher.

Compared to Liu Wenbai, Zhuo Ming character is still developing, has much more potential for growth.

Moreover, Zhuo Ming's cultivation level was low, and he had never encountered a teacher during his time Rogue Cultivator, leaving him with many unresolved issues.

Chen Mobai usually doesn't have much time outside of seclusion, so she can only choose some important questions.

Today, Chen Mobai acted out of character, saying that he had recently encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation and intended to give them some pointers, and that they should feel free to ask him any questions.

I will answer any questions.

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming's eyes lit up. She took out a thick notebook from her storage bag, containing all the questions she had accumulated since entering the Cultivation World.

Some were engaged in cultivation, some in Talisman Making, and others in other miscellaneous elixirs and magical Magic Artifact.

She would flip through this notebook every now and then, and if she could solve the problem herself, she would cross it off.

However, even today, she still has this thick book filled with doubts.

Chen Mobai's face was bitter, but he had already said it, so how could he go back on his word?

So, the master and apprentice spent three days and three nights going through all the questions in Zhuo Ming's notes, from sunrise to sunset and back again.

With Chen Mobai's level of expertise, coupled with the knowledge of a top student from the Wuqi Dao Academy, he provided almost all the answers.

Occasionally, there are a few questions, such as: How strong is Golden Core Ancestor? How many Golden Core cultivators can a Nascent Soul cultivator fight? Can an ascended cultivator ever return?

Chen Mobai truly couldn't answer these questions.

All I can say is that although his apprentice seems a bit dull, he actually thinks quite a lot.

Just then, the two Spirit Stone Liu Wenbai was holding in his palm suddenly shattered, and he opened his eyes with a look of joy on his face.

Sensing the breakthrough within his body, his spiritual power, now three times stronger, made him want to let out a long roar.

But seeing Chen Mobai and his junior sister in front of him, he forced himself to hold back.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master."

"Haha, I only hope that you can successfully Foundation Establishment in one go in the future, and not waste the opportunity to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm."

Chen Mobai spoke from the heart, but his two disciples thought he was offering a blessing.

"By the way, are Senior Brother E and Senior Brother Yuan in the sect?"

"Uncle E went to Cloud Dream Marsh to take charge of the overall situation, and Uncle Yuan just returned from his mission last month."

"Please arrange a meeting with him for me."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenbai immediately went to make arrangements.

That evening, the two, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, enjoyed drinks and conversation.

"It's rare for you to come down from the mountain. The last time we drank together was about half a year ago, wasn't it?"

Yuan Chiye took the Spirit Wine brought by Chen Mobai, smelled it, and filled his glass with great satisfaction.

"Has the problem been solved with the Spirit Stone Mine in the Lei Kingdom?"

"Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Brother Luo, Lei Kingdom Guardian, put pressure on us together, and I chimed in from the sidelines. In the end, we managed to suppress the six Cultivating Family of the Lei Kingdom and take away 40% of the Spirit Stone Mine."

Yuan Chiye briefly explained the result, but Chen Mobai could sense the underlying tension and danger.

Snatching food from a tiger's mouth, and taking almost half of the profits in one bite, even if they represent the Divine Wood Sect, they certainly wouldn't do it so easily.

Yuan Chiye recounted the intricacies of alliances, coercion, and enticement while sipping his wine. At first, his tone was calm, but he became increasingly excited as he spoke, especially when he mentioned the Zhou Wangshen Shenye meeting with the two major families, the martial arts competition with the top Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Lei Kingdom, and how he persuaded the neighboring country's guards at the Mountain Shaking Peak to give up their probing attacks...

"Senior Brother Zhou is truly a divine being."

Although he was from E Yun, Yuan Chiye praised Zhou Wangshen highly after cooperating with the Lei Kingdom.

This suggests that if this person becomes the Sect Leader, the Divine Wood Sect might be able to lead the Five Elements Sect again and Unify Eastern Wasteland during his lifetime.

Chen Mobai listened quietly until Yuan Chiye finished speaking, then subtly changed the subject.

"Is Junior Sister Yan currently at the sect? My little apprentice wants to research two kinds of Medicinal Wine and needs a trustworthy Alchemy to help him. As the former Chief of the Alchemy Department, she should have someone in mind."

Having already promised, Chen Mobai naturally had to ask about it.

"As for Junior Sister Yan, she hasn't returned since she went to that Foundation Establishment Cave Mansion. She might be trapped by the Array Formation Restriction left behind by the Cave Mansion. We can go to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion later and ask if there are any rescue missions issued by the Alchemy Department."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, his decision to remain unmoved and not go treasure hunting was the right one.

After all, the atmosphere in the Sky River Realm is such that the Cave Mansion left by the predecessors are mostly full of traps, and some Rogue Cultivator even specialize in setting up such traps.

"That's a real pity. I hope Junior Sister Yan is safe and sound."

After saying that, Chen Mobai put Yan Jinye out of his mind.

I felt a bit unlucky about this person, and if he were to return to his sect in the future, it would be best to avoid contact with him.

As for Zhuo Ming's Medicinal Wine, let her study it on her own.

"By the way, Senior Brother Yuan, I wonder what kind of opportunity you obtained in the Divine Tree Secret Realm? I was lucky enough to obtain the Fire Seed of the Azure Sun Fire."

Chen Mobai then brought up the important matter of inviting Yuan Chiye for drinks today.

He first spoke frankly about the fruits he had harvested.

"If it's you, then I won't hide it from you."

"It was a gourd of Longevity Tree Sap. I didn't have much use for it, so I sold it to Senior Brother Zhou when I was in the Lei Kingdom."

"I won't reveal the price to you, but it not only paid off all my debts, but it was also enough for me to buy all the pills I needed to cultivate up to the mid -Foundation Establishment stage."

Yuan Chiye trusted Chen Mobai very much and told him about the opportunity he obtained on the magic tree in the Magic Treasure Tree Divine Tree Secret Realm.

"Oh, congratulations! I wonder what the other senior brothers and sisters obtained in the secret realm?"

Chen Mobai had been subtly probing, not really expecting much, but Yuan Chiye gave him a pleasant surprise.

"I'm telling you, you absolutely must not tell anyone."

Yuan Chiye hesitated for a moment, but finally, after Chen Mobai a full cup of Spirit Wine, he revealed what he knew.

"Senior Brother Zhou Wangshen made a deal with Senior Brother Wu and Junior Sister Yan in order to cultivate the Longevity Dao Body. Senior Brother Zhou also contributed to the latter two's success in Foundation Establishment."

"Before entering the Divine Tree Secret Realm, they all made Dao Heart Oath and an agreement. If they obtained the Longevity Tree Sap, they had to sell it to Senior Brother Zhou."

"So Senior Brother Zhou knew about their gains in the secret realm and told me about it when he traded the Longevity Tree Sap with me."

"Senior Brother Wu and I both got a gourd of Longevity Tree Sap, which we sold directly to Senior Brother Zhou."

"But Junior Sister Yan was very unlucky; she actually got a Longevity Tree Fruit."

At this point, Yuan Chiye looked regretful.

Everyone in the Divine Wood Sect knows about the enormous side effects of the Longevity Tree Fruit.

These true disciples who successfully Foundation Establishment on their first attempt all believed they had a sliver of hope of Core Formation, so naturally they wouldn't consume this fruit, thus shortening their own lifespan and ruining their future.

Therefore, Yan Jinye did not want to consume the Longevity Tree Fruit in her possession, and no one from the Divine Wood Sect wanted to buy it.

If it were left out in the open, some ignorant people might rush to buy it.

But none of these people had much wealth.

If it were to be auctioned by the Great Merchant Guild, all the positive and negative effects of the Longevity Tree Fruit would have to be clearly stated, and Dao Heart Oath would have to be made to ensure there was no deception.

In that case, it certainly won't fetch a good price.

It was precisely for this reason that Yuan Chiye, who had earned 100,000 Spirit Stone from Zhou Wangshen, felt very sorry for Yan Jinye's gains in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

"This is really bad luck..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai gritted his teeth and uttered the last four words.

His expression was slightly strange, but Yuan Chiye just assumed he had drunk too much and was seeing things.

"Come on, let's have another drink. I'm going into seclusion in a few days and probably won't come out until the end of the year. Let's drink to our hearts' content today."

Yuan Chiye bought enough pills for his cultivation for a year. It was a coincidence that Chen Mobai came to see him today; if it had been a couple of days later, the two might not have met.

After finishing his drink, Chen Mobai asked about the location of the Alchemy Department before leaving.

Why are you asking this?

"Sigh, I fell into a coma after I came out of the secret realm, and Junior Sister Yan took good care of me for a while. She hasn't returned for half a year now, and I'm very worried about her. I was thinking of asking her master, Minister Zeng, if I could do something to help."

Hearing this, Yuan Chiye was very puzzled.

When I said that before, I didn't see any change in your expression.

Why are you suddenly so concerned after drinking?
