Lone Soul Ridge

After saying goodbye to Yuan Chiye, Chen Mobai went to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion first.

As Foundation Establishment Elder, he was naturally different from those Qi Cultivation Disciple Cultivation Realm.

"The Alchemy Department's mission for Junior Sister Yan? What bad luck, it was just taken by a senior uncle."

The Spirit Treasure Pavilion had a Qi Cultivation Disciple was specifically responsible for receiving Chen Mobai. After listening to his request, they did some research and came up with a result that surprised him.

There really is someone, and others are paying attention to it? "Oh, which senior brother is it?"

"I can't reveal that. If you really want to know, you can ask the sect leader."

The Qi Cultivation Disciple in front of him looked apologetic. Because there had been many instances of fellow disciples plotting against each other, like the oriole catching the cicada, the Spirit Treasure Pavilion was quite strict about controlling information in this regard.

If Chen Mobai wants to know, he can explain the situation to the person in charge of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, and then report it to the higher-ups and wait for their approval.

Chen Mobai naturally wouldn't do something so troublesome.

After leaving Spirit Treasure Pavilion, he returned to his courtyard in Divine Wood City.

Originally, Liu Wenbai came along, but considering that he had just broken through to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer and needed to consolidate his realm, Chen Mobai brought Zhuo Ming instead.

The young apprentice hadn't rested yet; he was drawing Talisman under the moonlight.

After giving her a few pointers, Chen Mobai told her about Yan Jinye's situation and said he would try to find a solution.

In the past, he certainly wouldn't have cared about Yan Jinye's safety, but after learning from Yuan Chiye that she possessed a Longevity Tree Fruit, Chen Mobai felt that he still had to find a way to save her.

Although the task was accepted, it was certain that the person who issued the task was the Minister of the Alchemy Department.

Chen Mobai and Zeng Woyou had met once before, and the latter was deeply impressed by him as a peerless sword genius.

He sent a visiting card the next day.

Chen Mobai met the number one Alchemy master of the Divine Wood Sect without any trouble.

"As for Xiao Yan, she's not in any danger right now because she left a life token with me. But I was really worried about her not coming back for so long, so I issued her a mission."

Zeng Woyou trusted Chen Mobai quite a bit. After all, as the first peerless genius in the history of the Divine Wood Sect to take ten steps in front of the Great Dao Tree, he believed that this junior brother was very likely to Core Formation.

Therefore, although he was a top figure in the Divine Wood Sect as Third Grade Alchemy, he was very polite to Chen Mobai, a junior who had just Foundation Establishment.

"Sigh, I missed Junior Sister Yan's invitation because I was in seclusion Forging Sword. Now I really regret it. If I had gone with her back then, maybe I would have had more strength and this wouldn't have happened."

Chen Mobai's words were also full of regret and remorse.

Zeng Woyou listened, his mind filled with doubt. He wondered, were his disciple and this junior really that close?

"Bi Yiyuan and Shan Hongyi have taken on this task issued by the Alchemy Department. If Junior Brother Chen also wants to contribute, I will not refuse."

Zeng Woyou told Chen Mobai that the person who accepted the mission was not one person, but two.

He didn't know Bi Yiyuan, but he had met Shan Hongyi once before. Back then, he had come to Giant Wood Ridge from South Stream Market in Yun Country by taking Shan Hongyi's airship.

"What is the cultivation level of these two senior brothers?"

Chen Mobai went straight to the most crucial question.

"Bi Yiyuan is at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment, but he is a Body Tempering cultivator, and his strength is enough to fight against the mid- Foundation Establishment, which is no small matter. Shan Hongyi, on the other hand, is a genuine mid -Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. If he hadn't wanted me to refine a batch of pills, he wouldn't have been persuaded to go out."

In other words, it's equivalent to two mid- Foundation Establishment stage cultivators going to rescue someone.

It has to be said that Zeng Woyou, the number one alchemy master of the Alchemy Divine Wood Sect, has a lot of influence.

"Junior Brother Chen, although your cultivation is not as high as theirs, your combat power as a fourth-level Sword Cultivator is above theirs. If you make a move, I am willing to offer you a Sword-Shaped Grass that I have cultivated in my herb field for a hundred years as a reward."

Sword-Shaped Grass? What is that? Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, thinking that it might be something that would be very helpful for Sword Cultivator, but he didn't really want it.

After all, he had no doubts beyond the realm of Sword Cultivator. He was just waiting for the Azure Sun Fire Seed to mature so that he could condense the "Azure Flame Sword Sha".

If you don't want the Sword-Shaped Grass, can you choose other spiritual herbs as payment? Coincidentally, Chen Mobai has a spiritual fruit that he desperately needs.

"Bamboo Fruit?"

Zeng Woyou was slightly surprised after hearing Chen Mobai's request.

This is a rare medicinal herb used in Alchemy. It is usually used as the main ingredient in detox pills or taken directly to enhance Spiritual Sense.

However, there are better alternative elixirs for detoxification and enhancing Spiritual Sense.

Moreover, it is rare for someone to cultivate Jade Bamboo for nearly a hundred years just to produce a single bamboo fruit.

"I don't cultivate this in my herb garden, but there are plenty of mature jade Jade Bamboo in the Green Bamboo Mountain of the sect. If we use a special secret method to accelerate their growth, we can make them grow Bamboo Fruit."

As a master Alchemy, Zeng Woyou knew exactly which medicinal herbs and plants were grown in which medicinal fields in Giant Wood Ridge.

He is also an expert in Spirit Plant and has methods for promoting the growth of Bamboo Fruit.

"I wonder if that's alright?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai asked a question.

Half a year has passed, and due to his diligent cultivation of the Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye, he has only a small half-bottle of the Clear Eye Bamboo Spirit Dew left, which is about to be used up.

This Spirit Liquid can also be used to enhance Spiritual Sense. During this period, another green bud sprouted from the Green Wutong Sapling in his Sea of Consciousness, and his progress was rapid.

For Chen Mobai, the Clear Eye Bamboo Spirit Dew is the most suitable elixir for him at this stage.

Therefore, he still hopes to continue taking the medication.

Unfortunately, the news of his acquisition of Bamboo Fruit at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion has been posted for half a year, but no one has shown any interest.

I just mentioned it casually today, but I didn't expect it to actually be so helpful.

"No problem, I'll handle things at Green Bamboo Mountain. The price of Bamboo Fruit is usually 350 Spirit Stone. I paid my two junior brothers about 1,000 Spirit Stone in total. How about you treat it as three Bamboo Fruit?"

As soon Zeng Woyou finished speaking, Chen Mobai nodded.

That's settled then.

Lone Soul Ridge! It's a very ordinary mountain in the eastern part of the Yu Country.

If it weren't for the fact that the life tablet left by Yan Jinye pointed this way, Chen Mobai and the other two would never have believed that there would be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's Cave Mansion hidden here.

"Master, the Qi-Direction Compass has started spinning erratically."

Above Lone Soul Ridge, on an airship, a Black-Clad Youth held a brass plate in one hand, and a copper spoon on it began to spin wildly, as if the target was moving rapidly in all directions.

"Hmm, it seems that this place has a natural topography, which, combined with the acquired Array Formation Disk, has sealed off all the Earth Vein Spiritual Energy, turning this place into a terrifying Forbidden Land."

The middle-aged man speaking had a thick beard and was none other than Shan Hongyi, whom Chen Mobai had met once before.

The Black-Clad Youth beside him was Yu Lian, who had joined the Divine Wood Sect with Chen Mobai years ago.

I had heard before that after he left New Bud Hall, he became a disciple of Shan Hongyi and seemed to be focusing on his cultivation. He was not seen in the Sect Grand Competition in the past few years.

Today I was surprised to find that he has already Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, and it seems that he did not just break through. He may be able to Qi Cultivation Perfection in another year or two.

"Shall we just go in?"

The one who said this was another Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Bi Yiyuan. He had a rough face, a bald head, and no eyebrows. Standing there, he was like a heat source, full of Qi and Blood and vitality.

"Junior Sister Yan left the mountain gate with Senior Sister Mei from the Spiritual Vein Department. If this Foundation Establishment Cave Mansion below can trap the two of them, we should be a little more cautious."

As Shan Hongyi spoke, he took out a Talisman, infused it with spiritual power, and sent it flying towards Lone Soul Ridge below.

Chen Mobai took a look and realized it was Message Talisman.

After a moment's thought, one can't help but admire the experience of the seasoned Shan Hongyi.

This Message Talisman can track down the nameplates of the Divine Wood Sect disciples within a certain range.

If Yan Jinye is indeed trapped in the Lone Soul Ridge below, this is the most convenient and fastest way to contact her.

As expected, the Message Talisman was not affected by the surrounding Earth Vein Spiritual Energy and Array Formation. It flew directly to Yan Jinye's Divine Wood Sect nameplate and disappeared into a hidden cave on the Lone Soul Ridge.

"What's the next step? Should we just barge in?"

Bi Yiyuan asked, his words somewhat rash.

However, Chen Mobai felt that this person, who had cultivated to such a level, could not possibly be that kind of person; it was probably just his disguise.

"Junior Brother Chen, what do you think?"

Bi Yiyuan suddenly asked Chen Mobai again.

The three met up with Zeng Woyou's introduction and introduced themselves to each other.

After boarding the airship, Chen Mobai kept quiet as much as possible, indicating that he would listen to his two senior brothers in everything.

"Senior Shan can make the decision."

Chen Mobai knew that although he might be good at fighting, he lacked experience in a dangerous place like the Sky River Realm. It was better to follow the orders of veterans like Shan Hongyi.

Let's wait and see if my junior sister replies.

After the two finished speaking, Shan Hongyi finally spoke.

The Message Talisman can reply once. If it can really be delivered to Yan Jinye, then we must find out what is going on in her Cave Mansion.

"Good."

The three reached a consensus.

"Yu Lian, go ask around the area and see if there are any legends or strange stories about Lone Soul Ridge."

Shan Hongyi then instructed his disciples to inquire about the news, Yu Lian immediately nodded in agreement.

"I'll take him with me; it'll make things faster."

Chen Mobai suddenly spoke, causing everyone present to be slightly taken aback.

However, considering that Yu Lian has not yet Foundation Establishment and cannot fly, it would indeed be convenient for Chen Mobai to take him along.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Junior Brother Chen."

"Of course."

Chen Mobai smiled and activated his Crimson Cloud Mist Silk. A pale red cloud of smoke appeared in the air, and he took the lead and stepped onto it.

Yu Lian hesitated for a moment, but still followed him carefully and landed on the cloud.

"Junior Brother's Magic Artifact is quite novel."

Shan Hongyi and Bi Yiyuan had never seen a cloud-shaped magical Magic Artifact like the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk before, and they couldn't help but admire it.

Chen Mobai smiled but didn't say anything.

He led the Yu Lian towards a nearby place with spiritual energy.

"Uncle-Master Chen... do you have something to say to me?"

Standing atop the Misty Cloud Qi, Yu Lian looked at Chen Mobai and spoke hesitantly.

"After all, we are from the same place and have a sense of kinship. Besides, I don't have much to talk about with my two senior brothers while I'm on the airship, so I might as well come out with you."

"Uncle Chen suppressed three thousand Qi Cultivation Disciple of the sect with a single sword strike, and successfully Foundation Establishment in just four years. He is like the sun and the moon in the sky. I never expected that he would still remember me, a mere fellow villager."

Yu Lian meant to express his flattery, but his expressionless face and calm tone left Chen Mobai at a loss for words.

"Back then, our group was assigned to Senior Brother E Yun by the sect. However, after I left New Bud Hall, I went to farm to avoid trouble. It's also very good that you became Senior Shan's disciple. As for the remaining Luo Siblings, there are Foundation Establishment from their family within the sect."

Upon Yu Lian frowned, unsure of what Chen Mobai was trying to say.

"If I hadn't broken through to the Foundation Establishment first, even if I were to farm, I would probably still have to go to Cloud Dream Marsh to risk my life for the sect. You're at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer now, why don't you participate in the Sect Grand Competition?"

"In order to make a name for oneself."

Yu Lian said something that surprised Chen Mobai slightly, and then he smiled.

"Perhaps it's possible with you."

"It could have been possible, but after you came along, no matter how amazing I became, I could never reach your level."

Yu Lian sighed.

Chen Mobai was slightly speechless upon hearing this.

Indeed, the standard he set in the true lineage of the Divine Wood Sect is basically unmatched, and even unparalleled.

"There is a cultivator there."

Suddenly, the Brass Plate in Yu Lian's hand pointed in a direction, Chen Mobai immediately carried him there.

"If you are able to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm in the future, and if you obtain any valuable items that you don't need, you can sell them to me."

The two of them consulted several cultivators in the vicinity and inquired about the situation at Lone Soul Ridge. On their way back, Chen Mobai subtly mentioned something.

Yu Lian looked surprised upon hearing this.

Do you think I can successfully Foundation Establishment on the first try?

"Among those of us who joined the Divine Wood Sect, your talent is widely recognized as the most outstanding. If I can do it, you certainly can too."

Chen Mobai said something that made Yu Lian's expression change slightly.

"Junior Sister Yan Chen, please take a look at Junior Brother Chen's reply."

After the two returned to the airship, Shan Hongyi handed a piece of paper to Chen Mobai.

The Cave Mansion's owner has transformed himself into Silver Armored Corpse. My Senior Sister Mei and I cannot leave even for a moment to suppress it. We request that the three senior brothers prepare some extremely yang and powerful Magic Artifact or Talisman before entering.
