Soul Nurturing Wood

Chen Mobai followed Wang Gongdao to a shop in Tiankui Market that looked very inconspicuous from the outside.

Inside, there were already quite a few Foundation Establishment Cultivator, some sitting and some standing. Chen Mobai recognized one of them, who was none other than the refined-looking Fu Xiuzuo.

A moment later, Liang Jinggui, with his white hair, also walked in, and the three of them naturally formed a circle.

"That's Yuan Hongyuan."

Liang Jinggui pointed to a middle-aged cultivator in a black robe in the corner and introduced him to Chen Mobai.

"His aura is chilling; he truly lives up to his reputation as a powerful figure who Foundation Establishment on strength."

Having a preconceived notion, Chen Mobai held Yuan Hongyuan in extremely high regard.

Because the Divine Wood Sect suppressed the state during its Jian Country, there were fewer struggles within its borders. Therefore, Fu Xiuzuo and Liang Jinggui had not tried Yuan Hongyuan's methods. Based on common rumors, they both acknowledged him as a formidable figure.

"Hong Xu is here too."

A moment later, a square-faced, big-eared cultivator walked in. Liang Jinggui recognized him; he was the leader of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance within the territory of the Jian Country.

Besides Hong Xu, the Tang Siblings, whom he met at the entrance of Tiankui Market, also followed him inside.

After waiting a while, two more Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a man and a woman, dressed in the attire of the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association, arrived, Wang Gongdao immediately went to greet them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as the host, I am honored to have gathered you all here through this Sales Meeting. It is quite a rare and grand occasion. Without further ado, let's begin."

Seeing that almost everyone he had invited had arrived, Wang Gongdao decided not to waste any more of their time and took out a golden fruit.

"This Diamond Fruit has just ripened in my Wang Family's medicinal field. It is of the Third Grade grade and is a treasure for cultivators who are tempering their bodies. If any of you are interested, you can Telepathic Message."

Chen Mobai glanced around and noticed that three or four Foundation Establishment Cultivator were quite interested and took the initiative to go up and examine the Third Grade Diamond Fruit in Wang Gongdao's hand.

In the end, the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association quoted a price that satisfied Wang Gongdao the most, and the two went to the Rear Hall to complete the transaction.

"We have Second Grade Mountain Suppressing Stone and Second Grade Stone Fire Seed. If any of you are interested, we can discuss it in detail."

After purchasing the Diamond Fruit, the Foundation Establishment male cultivator from the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association also brought out his own spiritual items. The Mountain Suppressing Stone is usually an essential item for setting up large- Array Formation. Placing one in the Grand Array can make the Array Formation more closely connected with the Earth Vein Spiritual Energy, thus unleashing its true power.

Several independent cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage seemed quite interested in the Mountain-Suppressing Stone. They all planned to pass on their bloodlines and become cultivation families, and spiritual land formations were key to their success.

Having Grand Array with Mountain Suppressing Stone is the primary condition for its long-term inheritance.

However, the price of this Mountain Suppressing Stone was simply too high, and these individual Rogue Cultivator could not afford it on their own. After communicating with the male cultivators of the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association, they were all politely refused.

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, what is the price of the Fire Seed in the Stone Fire?"

Chen Mobai went up and asked. The male cultivator from the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association Telepathic Message saying that he could exchange it for 10,000 Spirit Stone or a True Fire Seed of a certain grade.

The price is similar to that of Azure Sun Fire Seed.

Chen Mobai nodded, and the terms of the exchange were also very suitable for him.

Although he didn't have 10,000 Spirit Stone, he did have a fully refined Azure Sun Fire.

It took Chen Mobai a lot of time and resources to upgrade the Azure Sun Fire Seed into a complete Azure Sun Fire, but downgrading the Azure Sun Fire to Fire Seed was a much easier task.

However, for other cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect, this process will take at least a year and a half.

However, with the help of the Enlightenment Tea, Chen Mobai has grasped the essence of the Pure Yang Scroll Fire Starting Technique and can ignite the Azure Sun Fire he already knows from scratch.

Using the remaining Azure Sun Fire after condensing the sword aura as raw material, he was confident that he could ignite a Fire Seed within a few days.

"I have a Fire Seed of Azure Sun Fire Flame in my sect, but it will take several days to retrieve. I wonder if you could wait for a while?"

Upon hearing this, the male cultivator from the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association's eyes lit up, and he asked Wang Gongdao, who was accompanying him, about Chen Mobai's identity.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Chen from the Divine Wood Sect. I am Lou Xuelong. Your sect's Azure Sun Fire is a renowned spiritual treasure in several nearby regions. I'll reserve this Stone Fire Seed for you in advance."

Lou Xuelong, whether out of politeness or genuine admiration for Chen Mobai, waved to the other Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the living room with a smile, indicating that the Fire Seed in the Stone Fire had been taken off the shelves.

After the two exchanged Message Talisman, it was the third Foundation Establishment Cultivator's turn.

"I accidentally obtained a fragmented Pill Scripture, which contains two complete alchemy formulas, which can be used to refine two kinds of pills that can increase the Foundation Establishment the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment."

As soon as Hong Xu from the Rogue Cultivator Alliance spoke, he attracted the attention of all the Foundation Establishment Cultivator present.

In the Sky River Realm, elixirs are a form of hard currency.

Some Cultivating Family rely on a few pill formulas and refining techniques to establish their lineage. For example, the Snowpeak Bai Clan has Tea Pill method that can enlighten the mind and enhance Spiritual Sense, making it very popular among Qi Cultivation Cultivator.

This has even led to the prosperity of White Moon Market. Every Tian Ling tea leaves are harvested, Rogue Cultivator from several nearby countries, and even from the Snow Country, flock here to buy Tea Pill and cultivate their Spiritual Sense.

The Snowpeak Bai Clan, relying on its Tea Pill, firmly controlled a portion of the market for Qi Cultivation Cultivator and was the wealthiest of the Seven Great Families in the Jian Country.

Hong Xu's pill formula this time can increase the Foundation Establishment, and its value is immeasurable.

The Divine Wood Sect even has a rule that if a cultivator encounters a pill formula that the sect does not have while traveling, they can acquire it at a reasonable price, and the sect will reimburse them.

However, this rule is generally just for show. First of all, the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect do not care how many kinds of pill formulas there are in the sect, so they will not know whether this one is actually from within the sect.

Even if it is clearly known that this is something the sect does not have, the appropriate price is still highly debatable, as there is no clear boundary and it is purely subjective.

Fu Xiuzuo and Liang Jinggui, who were beside Chen Mobai, were very interested and went to Hong Xu's side to examine the contents of the two pill formulas.

"There shouldn't be any problem. If the Rogue Cultivator Alliance wants to survive in Jian Country, they won't produce anything with problems."

After Fu Xiuzuo walked back, shaking his head.

"It's too expensive. Thirty thousand Spirit Stone for two pill formulas. I really can't afford it."

Liang Jinggui brought enough Spirit Stone, but his main goal this time was the Cartilage Softening Pill from the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association. Although he also wanted the two pill formulas in Hong Xu's hands, he still knew what was important and what was not.

"Junior Brother Chen, aren't you going to take a look?"

If Chen Mobai were willing to collect pill formulas from the Immortal Sect, he could obtain dozens every day. He really looked down on the ones from the Sky River Realm, but he still remained humble in his words.

"I know nothing about Alchemy, so I'd better give up."

Hong Xu's two pill formulas were ultimately acquired by the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association. Among those present, they were the only ones with deep pockets who were willing to spend Spirit Stone on anything they wanted.

Then Liang Jinggui stepped forward and took out two spirit beast eggs. These were laid by two Second Grade Azure Goose Bird from his family. After hatching, they only needed to be fed enough pills and food to quickly reach the Second Grade.

Chen Mobai originally thought that since Foundation Establishment Cultivator could fly, they wouldn't have any need for the Azure Goose Bird.

However, the reality was beyond his expectations. Many Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the hall walked up with shining eyes.

"Junior brother, those who possess flying Magic Artifact like you are a minority. Many Foundation Establishment Cultivator would consume a lot of spiritual energy to fly, so they usually keep a flying spirit beast or a flying Magic Artifact in reserve."

Flying Magic Artifact have limited uses; they can only fly. If defensive Restriction are added, their price becomes extremely high.

But flying spirit beasts are different. Spirit beast eggs are definitely much cheaper, and they can grow. The Liang Family's Azure Goose Bird is also famous far and wide.

The offspring born from Second Grade Azure Goose Bird represent the ability to advance to the Second Grade without any bottlenecks. If one is lucky, it is equivalent to having a flying fighter at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Before long, several Foundation Establishment Cultivator began to compete.

Just then, Yuan Hongyuan, and it's unclear what he said to Liang Jinggui Telepathic Message. Soon, the two went to the Rear Hall.

A short while later, Liang Jinggui came out with a big smile on his face.

"I made a profit! Two spirit beast eggs, plus a hundred Spirit Awakening Pill and Blood Qi Pill, were exchanged for a Third Tier Immortal Peach."

Liang Jinggui did not hide anything and told Chen Mobai and Fu Xiuzuo about his deal with Yuan Hongyuan.

The Spirit Awakening Pill and Blood Qi Pill are the best pills for cultivating spirit beasts. Each Spirit Stone is worth 10 Divine Wood Sect, but the Liang Family, through Liang Yanyou's connections, pays the sect a fee every year so that they can also refine and use these two pill formulas.

The price of two Azure Goose Bird eggs was obviously not as high as that of a Third Tier Immortal Peach, so Liang Jinggui replenished his Spirit Awakening Pill and Blood Qi Pill.

"Oh, I didn't expect Yuan Hongyuan to be willing to pick the immortal peaches from Black Cloud Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiuzuo couldn't help but glance at his storage bag. Although he had no hope of Core Formation, he still hoped to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment before he died. Therefore, upon hearing about such a spiritual item, he couldn't help but want to acquire one.

"There are five Third Grade Immortal Peach Fruit left. Each peach costs five thousand Spirit Stone, or you can exchange them for equivalent rare and precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

At this moment, Yuan Hongyuan also stood up and took out a fist-sized, bright red peach with a hint of pale yellow from his storage bag.

The moment these Third Tier Immortal Peach were brought out, a faint, refreshing fragrance filled the hall, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Chen Mobai activated his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye and saw that the peach contained extremely powerful and pure spiritual energy. This spiritual energy was gentle and stable and had already condensed into a liquid state.

If he were to consume and refine Pure Yang Scroll, it would likely allow him to immediately break through to the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Chen Mobai looked at his Spirit Stone and sighed.

I'm broke, I can't afford even one.

At this time, two Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association each spent five thousand Spirit Stone to purchase a Third Tier Immortal Peach.

If Lou Xuelong hadn't heard that the effect would be halved when taking the second pill, he would have even wanted to buy all five.

Subsequently, Hong Xu, who had made a fortune selling the pill formula, also bought one.

"I didn't bring this many Spirit Stone with me this time. Brother Liang, Junior Brother Chen, could you lend me some? I'll go to the Spirit Stone Shop at the Divine Wood Sect to get them and return them to you as soon as I leave."

Seeing that three were gone in an instant, Fu Xiuzuo became a little anxious. He rummaged through his storage bag and asked the two people next to him somewhat embarrassedly.

Although he was the patriarch of the Fu Family, he only had a little over three thousand Spirit Stone.

Liang Jinggui and Chen Mobai nodded and each donated one thousand to him.

Chen Mobai actually wanted one too, but even without the immortal peach, he could break through to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment within a year by consuming the Qi -Qi Replenishing Spirit Water from the Immortal Sect.

So after thinking about it, I restrained myself and didn't buy it.

After Fu Xiuzuo, Wang Gongdao, the landlord, also bought one.

In the blink of an eye, only one remained.

Many Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator were trying to communicate with Yuan Hongyuan through Telepathic Message, seemingly wanting to exchange something for him, but all of them were met with his head shaking in refusal.

Just when it seemed the last one wouldn't sell, the Tang Siblings, who had come with Hong Xu, suddenly made a move and bought the Third Grade Immortal Peach Fruit.

Seeing that Hong Xu had given some spirit stones to the Tang siblings, Chen Mobai gained a general understanding of the financial resources of a rogue cultivator who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Families like Liang Jinggui and Fu Xiuzuo, who have Foundation Establishment, can mobilize tens of thousands or even Wan Ling. However, these are family assets, and they need a legitimate reason to use them.

The rest of the ordinary Rogue Cultivator basically have savings of around a thousand Spirit Stone. If they include Magic Artifact and other items, their net worth can reach about five thousand Spirit Stone.

Compared to Lou Xuelong and his companion, who were generous spenders and had already spent nearly 50,000 Spirit Stone at the Exchange Meeting, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Eastern Wasteland appeared quite stingy.

As Divine Wood Sect cultivator whose status was second only to Lou Xuelong, Chen Mobai did not make much of a move at the Exchange Meeting.

If it weren't for the fact that they had reserved a Fire Seed from Stone Fire, the Rogue Cultivator present would probably have suspected that the Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect were even poorer than them.

"This is Soul Nurturing Wood that my brother and I obtained from a secret realm. Its grade is definitely above the Second Grade. We want to exchange it for 50,000 Spirit Stone."

Just when Chen Mobai and the others thought the Exchange Meeting about to end, the Tang Siblings had just bought a Immortal Peach Fruit from Yuan Hongyuan, took out a section of tree trunk that was completely black, as thick as an arm, and half a meter long.

The tree trunk appeared to have been cut in half, with the upper, dark branches still intact, and wisps of black smoke could be faintly seen escaping from it.

"May I take a look?"

The speaker was another Foundation Establishment female cultivator from the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association. She seemed to know something about Soul Nurturing Wood. The Tang Siblings knew that this was the most likely candidate to buy it, so they happily handed her the Soul Nurturing Wood.

"It can barely be considered Third Grade Soul Nurturing Wood. For Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it can purify their Spiritual Sense and stabilize their mind."

The female cultivator, named Qu Xiuxian, was a Third Grade Spirit Planter. After examining the Soul Nurturing Wood, she gave a very fair evaluation.

"It's a pity it was cut in half."

Qu Xiuxian sighed and said, "The Soul Nurturing Wood is Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure. If Golden Core cultivator fails to Nascent Formation, having a complete Fifth Grade Soul Nurturing Wood will allow him to separate his mind from his body, abandon his physical body, and transform into Dharma Body Nascent Soul."

Although the Dharma Body Nascent Soul is weaker than a normal Nascent Soul, it is still a Nascent Soul and can sweep away anything below the Nascent Soul level.

However, after the Soul Nurturing Wood Tang Siblings was cut down, it had no chance of continuing to grow.

"If no one makes an offer, I am willing to buy it for ten thousand Spirit Stone."

After Qu Xiuxian finished her appraisal, Lou Xuelong discussed it with her and then said something to the Tang Siblings.

Although the price was already high, it was too low for the Tang Siblings. After exchanging glances, they finally shook their heads and refused.

Meanwhile, Chen Mobai was pondering a question.

If he places his Splitting Spirit Manifesting Thought Spiritual Sense within the Soul Nurturing Wood to control the Formless Puppet, while his true body returns to the Immortal Sect, then wouldn't he be able to avoid the mental dizziness and Spiritual Sense pain caused by being separated between the two realms?

Or is it that two Soul Nurturing Wood are needed, one for the Splitting Spirit Manifesting Thought and the other for the Main Body's Sea of Consciousness?
