Third Grade Herb

Luo Yixuan never thought that stepping down would be such an easy thing.

Chen Mobai spoke up, E Yun naturally stopped pressuring him, waving his hand to signal that the Luo Siblings could leave.

"The person from the Punishment Hall who went to the Lei Kingdom this time was Fu Xingzhou."

When only three people remained, E Yun told them what she had been inquiring about over the past few days.

"It could actually be him?"

Yuan Chiye was a little surprised.

Chen Mobai also knew this person. In the past, in order to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill for his father, he once thought of buying it from Yin Qingmei, who had a Heaven Spirit Root. However, he later learned from Xi Jinghuo that the Foundation Establishment in her possession had already been transferred to Fu Xingzhou.

This person is a direct descendant of another Golden Core ancestor of the sect, and his Spiritual Root talent is also outstanding.

However, Fu Xingzhou was a low-key person. Since he reached the Foundation Establishment, he had been practicing in seclusion on his own mountain, seemingly to avoid bringing any negative influence to Old Ancestor Fu.

"He set off half a month ago, and I didn't have time to communicate with him."

After E Yun finished speaking, Yuan Chiye shook his head indifferently.

"According to the sect's rules, it's best if I don't communicate with him. I've finished my wine, and I should set off now."

After saying this, Yuan Chiye put down his wine cup, then transformed into a streak of azure light and soared into the air, disappearing from his seat.

"Senior Brother Yuan is truly a free and easy person."

Chen Mobai smiled and said something, then drank the last of the wine in his glass in one gulp before taking his leave.

"Junior Brother Chen, I'm also going to Yun Country to guard the area tomorrow. The sect is counting on you."

E Yun said something sincere.

"Of course, but I may also represent the Reward Hall to go to the Lei Kingdom and investigate the deficit of the Spirit Stone Mine with Senior Brother Yuan."

"He was just saying it casually, you don't need to pay attention to it."

E Yun shook his head and said that Chen Mobai was too lazy to go out anyway, and with his words, he would be able to give Yuan Chiye an explanation in the future.

However, he pretended to hesitate for a moment before agreeing.

"OK."

After Yuan Chiye and E Yun left, Chen Mobai had some free time again.

In fact, among the Divine Wood Sect, his closest friend was Qi Rui.

The two of them fought side by side against the Demon Beast on Green Light Island, and that was a true bond of life and death.

However, Qi Rui was, after all, from the Sky River Realm. Ever since Chen Mobai achieved Foundation Establishment, he had felt a difference between their identities.

Nowadays, unless Chen Mobai takes the initiative to call him, he rarely comes to visit on his own initiative, not to mention the two brothers, Qi Hou and Xi Jinghuo.

It was precisely because of this that E Yun and Yuan Chiye left the sect one after another, Chen Mobai actually had several days of leisure in Divine Wood City.

That night.

He invited Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye over for drinks.

After a hearty meal, Chen Mobai mentioned that he was cultivating a Spirit Absorbing Technique," which required him to collect and comprehend the spiritual energy of different cultivators.

Although Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye were puzzled as to why they had never heard of such a spell before, they trusted Chen Mobai and, without any hesitation, each gave him a wisp of spiritual energy for their own practice.

After the two left, Chen Mobai wrote down the results displayed by the palm-based Spirit Measuring Instrument.

[Yue Zutao's Spiritual Root: Metal 6, Wood 57, Water 27, Fire 12, Earth 8]

[Yan Jinye's Spiritual Root: Metal 3, Wood 40, Water 10, Fire 35, Earth 12]

As one of only two Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the recorded history of the Divine Wood Sect Tree Sect to obtain the Longevity Tree Fruit in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai had long wanted to investigate their Spiritual Root and cultivation techniques in order to deduce the patterns within them.

However, Yue Zutao relationship hadn't reached this point before. Now, after sending wine and joining the Reward Hall, the two can be considered friends.

However, the result of this Spirit Measuring Instrument surprised Chen Mobai.

Yan Jinye's score is relatively normal, with all her attributes totaling exactly 100. Whether calculated by the Immortal Sect or the Sky River Realm, she has a True Spirit Root, and it is also very suitable for the Wood-Fire Dual Attribute in the Two Aspects Technique. If her lifespan is long enough, she may have a chance to Core Formation.

However, Yue Zutao's Spiritual Root was somewhat abnormal.

The total number of the Five Elements Spiritual Root adds up to 110, of which 57 are Wood Spiritual Root. If one were to cultivate the Spiritual Root methods of the Immortal Sect, it might take ten or twenty years to upgrade to Heaven Spirit Root.

Could it be that Yue Zutao, like Chen Mobai, had consumed some kind of spiritual substance that could enhance Spiritual Root, or perhaps it was after consuming the Longevity Tree Fruit? Chen Mobai could only make a guess for now and would gradually verify it through further communication.

Comparing the Spiritual Root of Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye, it was found that their Wood Spiritual Root were both exceptionally high.

This must be the key to the Longevity Tree Fruit that can grow on the Magic Treasure Tree! After this discovery, Chen Mobai's spirits lifted.

With the Wood Spirit Talisman in hand, he can create Heavenly Wood Spirit Root.

If we can send the Foundation Establishment Cultivator we've chosen into the Divine Tree Secret Realm, and then give them the Wood Spirit Talisman so they can use it when obtaining the fruits of the Magic Treasure Tree, wouldn't the probability of getting the Longevity Tree Fruit be much higher?

However, this is just Chen Mobai's conjecture; whether it will actually work remains to be seen.

Or perhaps the key isn't the Wood Spiritual Root, but the cultivation technique? Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye both cultivate the Two Aspects Technique, but the former uses Water-Wood, while the latter uses Wood-Fire, yet both cultivate the Longevity Sutra.

This line of thinking also needs to be studied carefully.

Just as Chen Mobai was about to continue his deductions, a subtle fluctuation of spiritual energy entered the courtyard. He had an idea and reached out to cast Fire Starting Technique, turning the paper with Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye's Spiritual Root written on it into ashes.

After doing all this, he pushed open the door and came out.

A Black-Clad Youth stood in the courtyard, waiting for him.

What brings you here?

Chen Mobai was slightly surprised to see Yu Lian.

"I've come to express my gratitude."

"Oh, if you mean informing your Alchemy Department that they're refining Foundation Establishment, didn't you already thank them before?"

"You know that's not what I'm talking about."

Yu Lian spoke expressionlessly, which surprised Chen Mobai slightly. In the past few days, he had not heard the Divine Wood Hall issue an edict in the name of the Sect Leader to cancel Yu Lian's true disciple results this year, which showed that Chu Zuoshu had successfully persuaded him.

But this matter should only be known to a few people.

"You found out?"

"Yes, my master is the Inspector Envoy of the Reward Hall. He heard about this matter when he went to meet with the Hall Master Chu yesterday, so I came to thank you."

Chen Mobai had no idea that Shan Hongyi was also a member of the Reward Hall. However, he was relieved to find the answer to his doubts. He had thought that those people were so loose-lipped and was now thinking that he should be more careful with his words in the future.

"I'm just trying to maintain basic Order and rules. For a sect to grow and thrive, rules are the foundation. If the rules are broken because of your matter, who will respect the sect's true teachings in the future?"

After listening to Chen Mobai's words, Yu Lian felt that she had gained some understanding, but she was also somewhat puzzled.

After all, the Sky River Realm believes in the law of the jungle, Order only serves the upper class. The interests of the lower class can only be guaranteed and continued as long as they do not conflict with the upper class.

"If you ever need anything that's inconvenient for you to do in the future, feel free to come to me."

Although Yu Lian didn't quite understand Chen Mobai's mindset from the Immortal Sect, he knew how to repay kindness, and he made a promise to Chen Mobai.

"You should focus on your cultivation."

Chen Mobai shook his head. Although Yu Lian's cultivation was already at the pinnacle of Qi Refining, he could still crush him with a single finger. Moreover, Yu Lian was involved with the Silver Xiao Sect Eternal Gate. Even if he successfully Foundation Establishment in the future, he probably wouldn't have a peaceful life.

Moreover, his two apprentices are very considerate, and he hasn't used the Yu Lian at all.

"Alright, I'll come find you again next year after I've reached the Foundation Establishment."

After leaving those words, Yu Lian departed from Chen Mobai's courtyard.

After he left, Liu Wenbai and Zhuo Ming came out from the corner. Yu Lian did not hide himself, so they also felt the strange spiritual energy fluctuations entering the courtyard from their room.

"Master."

"Yes, I'll be going back to Little South Mountain tomorrow."

Chen Mobai had already sensed their presence. He had finished all his business in Divine Wood City and it was time to return to the Immortal Sect.

"Master, then we'll go back with you."

"No need. Wen Bai's injuries haven't fully healed yet, so he should stay here and recover first. As for Zhuo Ming, business at Little South Mountain Shop has been booming lately, so you can stay here to oversee things and come back after you've sold all the wine."

Because the Second Grade Jade Bamboo Spirit Wine was so effective, it had already spread among Foundation Establishment Cultivator. However, after sending it to Chu Zuoshu and Meng Hong, Chen Mobai also asked them to send ten jars to the two Golden Core Ancestors. Now, only a small half-jar remains.

He didn't keep any for himself; he left it all for Zhuo Ming, asking her to put a small jar on the shelves of Little South Mountain Shop every now and then.

A vat of wine weighs about 100 jin (50 kg), and a small jar weighs about 2 jin (1 kg). What Chen Mobai left for his young apprentice were 20 jars of Second Grade Spirit Wine.

This Second Grade Jade Bamboo Spirit Wine is priced at 100 Spirit Stone per jar.

Chen Mobai originally thought it was already very high, but after the wine left Little South Mountain Shop, it had already been auctioned off for 150 Spirit Stone.

In response, Chen Mobai could only sigh that selling items related to improving cultivation was still the fastest way to make money.

"Master, does that mean I might not be able to come back next year?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming's round face immediately fell.

The Jade Bamboo Spirit Wine is selling well, but the shop still has ordinary Jade Sprout Spirit Wine brewed in the previous two years.

These Spirit Wine don't offer much help for cultivation, and no one usually buys them. If Zhuo Ming really has to sell all the wine in the Little South Mountain Shop wine cellar before she can go back, she might actually be able to sell until next year's Sect Grand Competition.

"You can come back anytime you want. You have your own legs, what can I do to stop you?"

Only after hearing Chen Mobai's words did Zhuo Ming feel relieved and promise to complete the mission.

The next morning.

Just as Chen Mobai was about to eat the simple breakfast prepared by his two apprentices, another guest arrived.

"Oh, it's better to be lucky than early. Would you like to eat something together?"

When Zhuo Ming led Luo Yixuan in, Chen Mobai was eating boiled Spirit Chicken.

This thing is not something that ordinary people can buy. It was only because Liu Wenbai was on duty in the Spirit Beast Department that he was able to get it. It is an egg laid by Spirit Chicken tamed by a cultivator. The Spirit Chicken and the Blood Jade Carp are of the same quality.

Since consuming the Blood Jade Carp and Jade Bamboo Shoots to enhance his Spiritual Root, Chen Mobai has become enthusiastic about tasting all sorts of strange and wonderful spiritual dishes and beasts in the Sky River Realm.

Liu Wenbai knew this, so whenever he had the chance, he would bring some of the spirit birds raised in the Spirit Beast Department for Chen Mobai to try.

However, to date, no third thing has been found that can enhance Spiritual Root.

It can only be said that Liu Lengpei was incredibly lucky back then; the fish he raised and the bamboo he grew in the Water Mansion actually helped his Spiritual Root after he consumed them.

"I came here specifically to thank Uncle Chen. This is a small token of our clan leader's appreciation. Please accept it, Uncle Chen."

Luo Yixuan dared not take Chen Mobai's politeness seriously. She shook her head, took off a golden storage bag tied to the belt of her palace dress, held it in her palms, and bowed to hand it over.

Zhuo Ming immediately took it and happily placed it on the table where Chen Mobai was eating.

"You silly child, I never said I would accept it."

Chen Mobai shook his head, but since the items were already in front of him, he had to take a look.

The storage bag had no markings. After Chen Mobai probed it with his Spiritual Sense, he saw a glittering patch containing six hundred Spirit Stone.

"You must have prepared this yourself."

Chen Mobai asked a question, Luo Yixuan's body trembled, then she showed a bitter smile.

"Please forgive me, Uncle Chen. It will take some time for the family to mobilize resources. I heard that you are leaving Divine Wood City tomorrow, so I used the Spirit Stone I had to prepare a small gift."

After listening, Chen Mobai nodded to indicate that he understood.

He can withstand this test.

Six hundred Spirit Stone would have been a huge fortune for him when he was Qi Refining, but for him now, they are nothing special.

Seeing that he did not accept it, Luo Yixuan thought that the gift was too insignificant. She gritted her teeth and took out a Jade Box from her sleeve and handed it to Zhuo Ming.

However, Zhuo Ming did not answer at this moment, but looked at Chen Mobai first.

"Bring it here."

Chen Mobai was also a little curious. After all, he was Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and something that Luo Yixuan treated with such seriousness must not be an ordinary thing.

Upon opening the Jade Box, a refreshing fragrance immediately filled the air.

Herb Herb with five round, yellow-white leaves and delicate, thread-like stamens in the center came into view. It seemed to have been picked many years ago, but because it was well preserved, it still retained about 80-90% of its medicinal properties.

"Camel Thorn!"

Chen Mobai's two years of experience in Herb identification courses at the Dao Academy were not in vain; he recognized the origin of this Herb at a glance.

However, he was referring to the name used in the Sky River Realm. The Immortal Sect call this Herb "Ancient Lotus," a spiritual herb that can grow to the Third Grade. It can be used to refine elixirs that increase strength and cleanse the Qi and Blood, and it is also one of the main ingredients of Foundation Establishment.

The "Camel Thorn" that Luo Yixuan presented should have medicinal properties that are two or three hundred years old, and it has just entered the Third Grade.

Even so, it would be worth at least two or three thousand Spirit Stone on the market.

"This is the most precious item in my Luo Family's medicinal herb field."

Luo Yixuan gently pointed out the origin of this item.
