Ten Thousand Year Warm Jade
After transforming the failed Undergo Tribulation Azure Sun Spirit Tree into a tree seed, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction.
During the last battle against the Mountain Shaking Peak, he had used a Second Grade tree seed, but unfortunately it was the sect's asset and was later returned.
Although he mainly relies on swordsmanship in Spell Duel, he has also put a lot of effort into the Longevity Sutra of the Divine Wood Sect, and has always wanted a Second Grade tree seed of his own.
Now we finally have it.
In fact, if Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect wanted Azure Sun Tree Seed, they could apply for it. However, Chen Mobai felt that it was not worth spending the Sect Contribution and Spirit Stone, so he delayed it until now.
He immediately drew a Heavenly Wood Talisman and then Domain Expansion of the Longevity Sutra.
As the tree seed landed, a Azure Sun Spirit Tree, much smaller than before its Undergo Tribulation, quickly took root and sprouted, enveloping Chen Mobai in its lush canopy.
Chen Mobai used the Spirit Leaf Technique, the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Light Art, and so on. In the Divine Tree Secret Realm, an environment rich in Wood Spiritual Qi, he seemed to be a tree god controlling all trees, Pluck Leaf Throw Flower and sending flowers flying, with a blue light like a sword.
Looking from a distance, half the sky was bathed in emerald light.
After practicing all the spells in the Longevity Sutra, Chen Mobai was satisfied and put the Second Grade tree seed away.
After all, it was the Azure Sun Spirit Tree that triggered the Undergo Tribulation the spiritual fire, and the tree species it transformed into was of a very high grade.
It will be very useful for eliminating low-level cultivators on the battlefield in the future.
Chen Mobai also thought that if he were to Core Formation in the future and all his Longevity Spiritual Power were absorbed by the Pure Yang Scroll, he could bestow this tree seed upon his Senior Disciple, Liu Wenbai.
After all, he was the only one among his three disciples who had cultivated the Longevity Sutra.
Thinking of this, the spirit of the Formless Puppet he left on Little South Mountain sent a message: Liu Wenbai had returned.
Chen Mobai had originally planned to visit the Great Dao Tree again, but he had to postpone that decision.
After all, Yan Bingxuan had told him that he should prepare for his first attempt at Foundation Establishment during the holiday at the end of this year. She felt she had to repay the kindness of helping him comprehend the Ice Breath.
Moreover, the Great Dao Tree is right here, so it doesn't matter when you come.
Thinking of this, Chen Mobai buried the Heavenly Calculation Bead that controlled the Spider Puppet underground, and then had the remaining Puppetry search within a hundred miles of this location for any spirit trees of the Second Grade or higher.
Over the past year, he has used the Spider Puppet to explore a 3,000-kilometer area of this Divine Tree Secret Realm and found four Azure Sun Spirit Tree.
However, for him now, Second Grade Azure Sun Spirit Tree is no longer considered precious. If he could find a Golden Sun Spirit Tree, that would be best, as he would then be able to refine the Third Grade Sword Talisman recorded in the Crimson Flame Sword Art.
The Third Grade Talisman Paper in the Eastern Wasteland are all made from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, such as the leaves and Bark of spirit trees and the hides of Demon Beast.
Chen Mobai's factory in the Immortal Sect could only produce Second Grade Jade Talisman Paper, and the quality was quite average. So if he wanted to use it here, he would definitely have to follow local customs and make Talisman Paper from the leaves of the spirit tree.
Since the Divine Wood Sect intends to send him out as the commander-in-chief for the great battle at the Mountain Shaking Peak, Chen Mobai will certainly take the opportunity to secure some strategic resources.
Even without him mentioning it, Chu Zuoshu hinted that soon he would have Spirit Treasure Pavilion put three Green Wood Sha on the shelves and have Chen Mobai practice three more Sword Fiends to improve his combat power.
Although Xie Yuntian was not very willing, he was also reasonable, especially since Chen Mobai had mastered the Azure Flame Sword Sha earlier than him and was obviously more qualified to refine the Green Wood Sha.
According to the rules of the Eastern Wasteland, the most capable should be in charge. The sect could even directly give the Green Wood Sha to Chen Mobai. The fact that Chu Zuoshu was willing to discuss it with Xie Yuntian repeatedly is already a great honor for him as the Minister of the Sword Cultivation Department.
With Chen Mobai's current level of Spiritual Sense, controlling the seven Azure Flame Sword Sha more than enough.
However, when he Spell Duel, the outcome was usually decided within a few sword strikes. These seven sword auras were a bit too many, so he was thinking about whether to use one of them to refine the "Azure Flame Sword Talisman".
This is, after all, Third Tier Talisman. If he can master it, then in the Eastern Wasteland, it would mean that he is Third-tier Talisman Master.
Back at Little South Mountain, Liu Wenbai was already waiting outside the Cloud Mist Array.
Chen Mobai put away the Formless Puppet and leisurely stepped out of the wooden house.
"Greetings, Master. Elder Lan Lingping of the Blowing Snow Palace is already waiting for you in the White Moon Market."
"Oh, is she in such a hurry?"
Chen Mobai was slightly surprised after hearing Liu Wenbai's words.
Logically speaking, he should be the one in a hurry, since the Cold Ice Congealed Crystal is currently only available to the Blowing Snow Palace, which is a kind of monopoly.
But now it seems that Blowing Snow Palace values the meeting with him even more than he imagined.
But this is also a good thing.
The chances of reaching an agreement are much higher.
With Chu Zuoshu's order, Chen Mobai decided to stop hiding his intentions and directly led Liu Wenbai through the sect's Teleportation Array to White Moon Market in a grand manner.
"Town Guardian, it's been a long time."
Bai Dingxian, the head of the Bai family, who had already received the news, was waiting outside the Teleportation Array. After several transactions with Chen Mobai, they could be considered friends, and he responded with a smile.
"Elder Lan, please wait at your Little South Mountain Shop. I have some matters to attend to at the tea plantation in my clan, so I won't accompany you."
However, Bai Dingxian seemed hesitant to get involved in the affairs between the Divine Wood Sect and the Blowing Snow Palace. After Chen Mobai and mentioning Lan Lingping's whereabouts, he hurriedly left.
"Wen Bai, you should really learn from Brother Bai's steady approach."
Chen Mobai looked at Bai Dingxian's departing figure with approval. Only someone like him could thrive in the environment of the Eastern Wasteland. No wonder the Bai family, under his leadership, had already become known as the number one family since the Jian Country.
White Moon Market is located at the northernmost edge of Jian Country, which is right next to Snow Country. The Bai family's business has also extended to that area, so Bai Dingxian had to greet Lan Lingping when she came over, because she was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
However, after taking care of both sides, he promptly withdrew, a behavior that Chen Mobai greatly admired.
"Lan Lingping from the Blowing Snow Palace greets Elder Chen of the Divine Wood Sect."
In the Little South Mountain Shop of White Moon Market, a beautiful woman in blue bowed to Chen Mobai.
Behind her followed a female cultivator in a light blue dress, who seemed to be her disciple. Her face was veiled, obscuring her features, but her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, her skin was snow-white, and she had a tall and slender figure, suggesting she must also be an outstanding beauty.
"I have long admired Elder Lan's name, and seeing him today, I can confirm that he is indeed a peerless figure."
Lan Lingping was a famous fairy in the Eastern Wasteland when she was young. Although she is now a woman, she is even more beautiful. However, Chen Mobai is not interested in women. After exchanging a few polite words, he led them to the reception room upstairs in the shop.
As the Jian Guo Town Guardian, Little South Mountain Shop in White Moon Market is located in a prime location and is a three-story building.
The third floor is a warehouse, the second floor is a reception room, and the first floor is a shop where goods are sold normally.
After Chen Mobai and Lan Lingping took their seats, Liu Wenbai skillfully began to brew tea, while the veiled female cultivator knelt to one side, listening intently.
"I need Cold Ice Congealed Crystal. Elder Lan, name your price. How much will it take for you to sell them?"
Chen Mobai was an honest person, and he got straight to the point about inviting Lan Lingping over.
"Please forgive my bluntness, but this Cold Ice Congealed Crystal was obtained by our academy from the Snow Mountain Cold Pool. It has miraculous effects on our Blowing Snow Palace's cultivation, but it should be of little use to the Divine Wood Sect. Elder Chen, as Sword Cultivator, why are you so attached to this?"
Lan Lingping did not answer directly, but instead asked about her own doubts.
"Is this related to the transaction?"
Chen Mobai asked in confusion, Lan Lingping nodded solemnly, her face serious.
"To be honest, I have reached an extremely high level in cultivating the Crimson Flame Sword Art. The Crimson Flame spiritual power has undergone a transformation, becoming extremely intense. I need to use a spiritual object with the cold attribute to neutralize it and remove its dryness in order to continue my progress. After inquiring around, I learned that your sect has such a rare item as Cold Ice Congealed Crystal, so I specifically requested it."
Chen Mobai naturally wouldn't tell the truth, recalling a TV series about the Ancestor Yuanyang that he had watched when he was a child.
This Spirit Transmutation True Monarch's Pure Yang Spiritual Power once encountered Tribulation Pass because it was too masculine and domineering, and he was never able to combine his essence, energy, and spirit, thus Core Cracks, Nascent Soul Emerges.
Later, he used the Realm Gate to go to the Moon Star, absorbed the Great Yin Qi, and neutralized the Pure Yang Spiritual Power, which enabled him to take the step of forming Nascent Formation.
Chen Mobai slightly modified the story and applied it to himself, thinking that the Blowing Snow Palace might not believe it, but he found that Lan Lingping looked enlightened after hearing it.
"I see. I didn't expect Elder Chen to encounter this problem as well."
"Ah?"
Chen Mobai looked completely bewildered upon hearing this. He simply made up a sentence on the spot.
"That's right. The ' Ice Clear Heavenly Heart Art ' that we practice in the Blowing Snow Palace can cultivate Ice Spiritual Power with Water Spiritual Root, but if it is not a proper Ice Spirit Root, the physical body will become stiff as it progresses."
Lan Lingping smiled and explained to Chen Mobai that the situation was exactly the opposite of what he had said, but it was similar in principle. As she spoke, she gestured for the veiled female cultivator next to her to come forward and extend her hands, which were tucked into her long sleeves.
Chen Mobai saw the hands, which were as pale and bloodless as ice and snow, and the blood in the veins seemed to have lost its warmth and turned pale blue.
"Xue Ting is an example. If she doesn't find a way to constantly absorb gentle Fire Spiritual Qi, then as her cultivation progresses, her physical body will gradually become cold and lose sensation. This is the deal I want to discuss with Elder Chen."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai shifted his gaze from Xue Ting's pale hands to Lan Lingping, and vaguely understood why she had come looking for him.
"Elder Lan, please feel free to speak your request!"
After listening, Lan Lingping nodded, then grabbed a handful from her storage bag, and released her fingers, and a handful of Spirit Rice fell onto the tea table. The Spirit Rice was like crystal jade, but with a slight pale red hue.
Chen Mobai was very familiar with this; it was the Fire Spirit Rice from their Little South Mountain.
"Will this Spirit Rice be useful to you?"
"After Qi Cultivation Disciple cultivation, a disciple who has consumed a bowl of this food will feel refreshed and invigorated throughout their body."
As Lan Lingping spoke, she took out a small rice cooking pot, put the Fire Spirit Rice from the tea table into it and added water. Soon, a faint aroma of rice filled the air.
In front of Chen Mobai, the female cultivator named Xue Ting lowered her head and fed the cooked Fire Spirit Rice to her cherry lips from under her veil.
Soon, her originally pale hands regained a rosy hue and came back to life.
"I see. So it only works for Qi Cultivation Disciple?"
"This is already quite good. Foundation Establishment Cultivator will wear Thousand Year Warm Jade to activate their Qi and Blood. Since there are not many of them, each elder of our Blowing Snow Palace can have one."
As Lan Lingping spoke, she pulled out a milky-white Jade Tablet from inside her collar. It was warm and delicate, and contained a yang energy.
Chen Mobai's eye twitched slightly when he saw this.
There is also a piece of warm jade in the Immortal Sect. It is the natal Natal Magic Tool of the True Monarch Taiyuan. It has followed this Spirit Transmutation True Monarch stage for a thousand years and has become Fifth Order low-level spiritual treasure. Wearing it can prevent Heart Demon from arising and External Demon from invading. It is also the spiritual treasure passed down by the principals of the Supreme Origin Academy through generations.
Chen Mobai never expected that this warm jade was actually a piece of Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Blowing Snow Palace.
"May I ask, if one is Core Formation Cultivator, how does one resolve the problem of physical body stiffness?"
"We also have two pieces of Ten Thousand Year Warm Jade in our Blowing Snow Palace."
After hearing this, Chen Mobai suppressed the sudden impulse that welled up in his heart, tactically picked up his teacup, and suppressed his desire to become a Tribulation Cultivator.
The warm jade that True Monarch Taiyuan possessed was essentially Ten Thousand Year Warm Jade.
In other words, the Blowing Snow Palace has two precious materials that can be refined into Fifth Order magic Magic Artifact.
No wonder the Eastern Wasteland is teeming with cultivators undergoing tribulation; who could resist such temptation? "Every year, we spend a large sum of Spirit Stone to have the Returning Heaven Valley help us refine the Fire True Pill, but because the main ingredient, the Fire Lotus, is scarce, we can only guarantee its use for true disciples and a few outstanding ones at most."
"Therefore, our lower-level Qi Cultivation Disciple in the Blowing Snow Palace have always had a very difficult time. Many of the weaker disciples never wake up again after meditating for a night."
"This year, Elder Chen's Little South Mountain Shop in the market of our Snow Country. A disciple bought Fire Spirit Rice and discovered its miraculous effects after consuming it. Therefore, I have taken the liberty of coming here to discuss this business."
At this moment, Chen Mobai had also calmed down his restless state of mind and regained his composure.
"That's a good thing. However, the matter of Spirit Rice is related to the foundation of cultivators. If it's just a small amount, I can make the decision myself. But if it's to support all the disciples of your sect, I need to report to the Sect Leader."
Lan Lingping expressed her understanding, saying that the Eastern Wasteland still had some basic strategic thinking. If it were a large-scale inter-sect transaction of Spirit Rice, it would definitely require an agreement from the upper echelons of both sides.
"This is a mutually beneficial arrangement. Our Cold Ice Congealed Crystal can also help your sect's cultivators practicing the Crimson Flame Sword Art to neutralize their yang energy. If Elder Chen is willing to supply Fire Spirit Rice to my Blowing Snow Palace, the benefits afterward will be substantial."
Lan Lingping was unaware that the Cold Ice Congealed Crystal was only needed by Chen Mobai. However, the latter felt that the time was right and proposed the task assigned by Chu Zuoshu.
"If True Person Kong can guarantee to stand idly by, I can persuade the Sect Leader or even the two patriarchs to supply all the Fire Spirit Rice to your Blowing Snow Palace in the future."
"This... I need to inform you."
Chen Mobai gestured for her to enter, and Lan Lingping requested a quiet room. It was unclear how she managed to contact Kong Lingling, but she returned with a grave expression after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Old Ancestor Kong said he could agree, but there was one condition.
"Speaking."
"We need your sect to hand over the seeds of Fire Spirit Rice and the Spirit Plant Method to our Blowing Snow Palace."
Lan Lingping looked embarrassed when she said this.
Chen Mobai remained expressionless, but Liu Wenbai, standing to the side, had already frowned. He knew all too well the hard work and effort his master and junior sister had put in for this Fire Spirit Rice.
This Little South Mountain has only been planted three or four times, and now it's going to be snatched away by the Blowing Snow Palace! But since his master hasn't spoken, he, as a disciple, can't overstep his bounds.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Mobai already had his answer.
