Opening the Storage Bags

Five Willow Mountain.

With the Divine Wood Sect army led by Chen Mobai stationed here, this place became the center of communication for the Cultivation World of the Yan Kingdom after the destruction of the Mountain Shaking Peak.

In a short period of time, wooden and stone buildings sprang up, forming a large market town.

However, cultivators have no concept of planning, so this market is a bit chaotic.

After resolving the matter of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, Chen Mobai was in high spirits. He strolled through the market with his little apprentice and, upon discovering these things, couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Master, what's wrong?"

When Luo Yixuan was by Chen Mobai's side, she was completely focused on observing her master's expressions and noticed this immediately, so she asked him about it right away.

"Although the spontaneously formed market town on Five Willow Mountain is safe because our sect is stationed here, the houses are arranged in a disorderly and aesthetically unpleasing manner, and the streets are messy and lack order, resulting in overcrowding in many places. Overall, it gives people a chaotic feeling, which is not good."

Chen Mobai was very casual with his own apprentice, and expressed his feelings.

"Should Master order a complete overhaul?"

Luo Yixuan asked again, "After the destruction of the Mountain Shaking Peak, with the two Core Formation Ancestors not taking charge, Chen Mobai, as the commander, is the person with the highest status in the Cultivation World of the Yan Kingdom."

If he were to speak up, even if he were to level the entire market town, no one would dare utter a word.

"That's unnecessary. I prefer to start from scratch and build something new rather than destroy and rebuild."

In this way, it won't have any impact on the current market in Five Willow Mountain.

He had already chosen a site and was preparing to lead the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect to another Third Grade Spirit Vein in the Yan Kingdom soon to build a well-planned large market town.

Luo Yixuan didn't fully understand Chen Mobai's words, but that didn't stop her from keeping them in mind. She felt that when she reached a higher level of understanding in the future, she would definitely be able to comprehend them all.

"Ore refined by the Earth Master of Mountain Shaking Peak, selling cheap..."

"The true Body Tempering Cultivation Method Mountain Shaking Peak, the complete Qi Refining manual, can be guaranteed by Dao Heart Oath..."

"A second-hand Magic Artifact, used only by myself during this war, being sold cheaply for Spirit Stone..."

"First-tier Talisman..."

The master and apprentice strolled through the crowded streets of the market, their interest piqued by the signs on the stalls and the loud shouts from the vendors.

Chen Mobai had previously managed to snag Earth Master Legacy and Second Grade earthly evil energy in the market of Rolling Thunder Mountain, so after dealing with matters at the upper levels, he was eager to come here and take a look.

"Master, this thing seems pretty good."

Luo Yixuan's eyes were drawn to a beautiful and lustrous Jade Pendant on the stall. The Jade Pendant was fiery red, and when she picked it up and held it in her hand, it looked exceptionally rosy and radiant against her fair and delicate skin.

"A mid-grade first-tier magic Magic Artifact. When worn, it protects against external evils and cold, and also has a slight effect on nourishing the Spiritual Sense. It's alright."

Although Chen Mobai's knowledge of Treasure Appraisal appraisal was only at the beginner level, he was, after all, a top student about to graduate from the Wuqi Dao Academy. He could easily identify these first-tier Magic Artifact, and even, if he wanted, he could deduce the refining techniques and incantations.

"Fellow Daoist, what is the price of this Magic Artifact...?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan immediately began bargaining with the stall owner.

Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Mobai browsed the stalls nearby.

Although he concealed his cultivation level, his demeanor, which far surpassed that of Qi Cultivation Cultivator, made the stall owners vaguely guess what he was doing, and they all took out their best items from their storage bags.

Unfortunately, at Chen Mobai's level of cultivation, even ordinary Second Grade spiritual objects are of little use to him.

After Luo Yixuan happily bought the Jade Pendant for twenty Spirit Stone, Chen Mobai also bought a Second Grade Thunderstruck Stone.

This is ore that has been struck by lightning. It contains a trace of pure lightning essence. Cultivators who want to practice Thunder Method can draw it out and refine it into their own spiritual power to experience the mysteries of lightning essence.

For Chen Mobai, who had already mastered the Third-tier Perfection Yi Wood Divine Thunder, this was naturally useless.

"Take this. With this, you will be able to master the ' Ren Shui Thunder Method '."

Chen Mobai handed the Thunderstruck Stone to his young apprentice, Luo Yixuan, who was pleasantly surprised upon hearing it.

She had already cultivated the Black Water Technique to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, but she still couldn't master the Ren Shui Thunder Method recorded in this technique.

This was a slight blow to Luo Yixuan, who always considered herself the most talented among the second generation of Little South Mountain.

After all, her master Chen Mobai, was not only a genius in swordsmanship but also a genius in Thunder Method.

She originally thought that if she couldn't inherit the way of the sword, she should at least inherit the Thunder Method.

But after I started practicing Thunder Method, I realized how difficult it was.

Even with Chen Mobai's guidance, he barely managed to get the basics down, but when he tried to use it, he was never able to do so with ease or control.

This made Luo Yixuan deeply aware of the huge gap between herself and her master in terms of talent.

Compared to Chen Mobai, she was just an ordinary cultivator.

"Master, you are so good to me."

Luo Yixuan looked delighted and happily put the Thunderstruck Stone into her storage bag.

Over the years, the three disciples of the Little South Mountain Lineage have become accustomed to Chen Mobai's style, which is quite different from the other masters in the Eastern Wasteland. They are no longer as embarrassed or even afraid to accept the things he bestows upon them as before.

"Huh, Master, there's actually Earth Master Legacy here too."

When the master and apprentice came to a stall selling martial arts techniques, Luo Yixuan discovered the things she had previously obtained from Chen Mobai.

She immediately squatted down, picked up the booklet, and looked at it, finding that the contents were exactly the same as the previous two books she had.

"Fairy, after the destruction of the Mountain Shaking Peak, these things were spread. Many disciples of Mountain Shaking Peak who escaped on the battlefield were captured by the Jie cultivators. After their storage bags were searched, they were made to write down the contents of the cultivation techniques by memorizing them using a mind-controlling technique. This ensures that the cultivation techniques and inheritance are not a problem."

The stall owner was a young man. Upon seeing Luo Yixuan's ethereal beauty, he spoke quite a bit in a slightly ingratiating manner.

"Oh, you seem to know this so well, could you be a Tribulation Cultivator?"

Luo Yixuan narrowed her bright eyes and looked at the young stall owner, asking him a question that made his face turn slightly pale.

"No, no, I just heard it from people in the market, it's not true..."

Seeing how frightened he looked, Chen Mobai nodded gently.

When this Five Willows Mountain Market Town was formed, he roughly formulated a few rules, including prohibiting Spell Duel and refusing entry to cultivators who had attempted to rob them.

He knew that most of the Rogue Cultivator in the Eastern Wasteland had actually been tribulation cultivators in secret.

However, he still established this rule in order to establish a common understanding in the Five Willows Mountain Market Town that cultivators should not show their faces here.

Chen Mobai won't care if you're out there robbing cultivators, but if you're on his territory, you'll only die.

Let's start changing the atmosphere of the Eastern Wasteland from here.

The master and apprentice strolled around for a while longer. Chen Mobai bought some Second Grade spiritual items and was about to leave when he suddenly discovered something interesting at a stall.

How much for these ores?

Because of the abundance of Minerals in the Yan Kingdom, the most famous thing about the Mountain Shaking Peak, besides physical cultivation, is the Earth Master Legacy, which has all sorts of strange and wonderful minerals.

"Brother Dao, these are all Second Grade Minerals. Each one costs fifty Spirit Stone. If you buy a lot, I can give you a 10% discount."

The stall owner was an ordinary-looking old man, but his eyes were very bright, and he seemed to be quite young.

Chen Mobai glanced at the dozen or so Minerals on the stall and selected three of them.

The stall owner's expression changed slightly upon seeing this; he had deliberately placed it there, but he hadn't expected it to be spotted so easily.

"Brother Dao is an expert, so just give me a price for these three crystals."

Chen Mobai was slightly surprised by the stall owner's words, but then nodded gently. He felt that the old man in front of him must know him, which was why he said that.

The stall owner, who resembled an old man, put the five hundred Spirit Stone left by Chen Mobai into his storage bag. Looking at the slightly greedy eyes of his fellow stall owners around him, he felt a little worried.

But he immediately straightened his back and continued setting up his stall.

When the Five Willows Mountain Market Town had just opened, some daring robbers committed crimes, but none of them escaped far before being captured by several Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect. Their bodies were still hanging on wooden stakes at the foot of the mountain, not yet dried.

After killing him twice, no cultivator dares to become a cultivator in the Five Willow Mountain area anymore.

"Master, Second Grade Minerals only cost around fifty Spirit Stone on the market, why did you give so much?"

On the way back to the mountaintop, Luo Yixuan looked completely bewildered.

"This is not ore, but refined Second Grade Sha Qi Crystal."

Chen Mobai held two emerald green crystals and spoke calmly.

"Ah..."

Luo Yixuan obviously didn't realize it, but she also remembered that the old man at the stall had mentioned the word "crystallization" at the end, which meant that he knew about it and deliberately put it on his stall to attract people who wanted to find a bargain.

However, what was unexpected was that Chen Mobai was the one who ended up there.

He must have known the identities of the master and apprentice, so he didn't dare to use any tricks and could only do business honestly.

However, Chen Mobai was a kind person and gave him five hundred Spirit Stone, which was considered the market price.

"These two are Second Grade Clear Wind Sha, which are perfect for my Crimson Cloud Mist Silk. This one is Second Grade Peach Blossom Sha, which can be used to upgrade Ming'er's Five Transformations Umbrella again."

There were actually other Sha Qi Crystal on that stall, but only these three were useful to Chen Mobai.

"If my senior sister knew, she would definitely be very happy."

Luo Yixuan was also happy. She knew that Chen Mobai liked his disciples to love each other. Over the years, she had gradually opened up and seemed to be becoming that kind of person herself.

"This Sha Qi Crystal requires Second Grade Earth Master to condense. Ask the stall owner if he is Earth Master and if he is interested in joining the Divine Wood Sect."

Chen Mobai has always cherished talent. In the Eastern Wasteland, Second Grade professional is already enough to serve as Outer Sect Elder in one of the Eastern Wasteland Seven Great Sects.

"Yes, Master!"

After Luo Yixuan obediently took her leave, Chen Mobai arrived at the top of Five Willow Mountain, where there were rows of wooden houses, and his was the one at the very top.

The rest were other Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect.

Five Willow Mountain was originally Third Grade Spirit Vein, but in order to nourish the rare Herb that were painstakingly transplanted from the top of Mountain Shaking Peak, Yue Zutao did not hesitate to disperse the Spirit Vein's Earth Qi and distribute it to the Spirit Field, resulting in the highest level of the Spirit Vein on the mountain now being only Second Grade superior grade.

For Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Second Tier Spiritual Vein is just enough to barely sustain their cultivation progress.

Moreover, during this war, they also seized many storage bags from the cultivators at the Mountain Shaking Peak and obtained a lot of Spirit Stone. In the case of insufficient spiritual energy, using a few more Spirit Stone to cultivate is no worse than cultivating with Third Grade Spirit Vein.

In his room, Chen Mobai carefully examined the three Sha Qi Crystal. Although he had already examined them in the market with his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye, he still wanted to check them again for peace of mind.

After confirming that there were no problems, he put it into his storage bag and then took out seven or eight storage bags.

This was his reward for killing the Foundation Establishment Cultivator of Mountain Shaking Peak.

Previously, I was fully focused on the war, but now that I've relaxed, I have time to open the bag.

The powerful Spiritual Sense of the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer surged forth, quickly erasing the Spiritual Sense imprints in these storage bags one by one.

However, when Chen Mobai got to the last two storage bags, he found that his Spiritual Sense could not penetrate them.

This means that the owners of these two storage bags possess a higher level of Spiritual Sense consciousness than him.

Chen Mobai remembered that he had collected this from Ai Tuo's corpse.

That shouldn't be the case. The Foundation Establishment Cultivator who died at the Mountain Shaking Peak was only a Ji Dingjin realm cultivator who was above him.

Even if one of them belongs to Ji Dingjin, whose is the other one? Or perhaps Ai Tuo, although only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, actually has Spiritual Sense realm that is already at the peak of Foundation Establishment?

As Chen Mobai was thinking this, he suddenly noticed that one of the storage bags, which Golden Thread trim and looked very exquisite, looked somewhat familiar.

This seems to be similar in style to the storage bag of the female disciple from the Xuanxiao Dao Palace he opened back then.

Could it be Xuanxiao's storage bag? Chen Mobai thought back to when he used the Primordial Yang Sword Sha to kill Xuanxiao, and the latter died in Ji Dingjin's arms. So it was quite normal for his storage bag to fall into Ji Dingjin's hands.

Later, Ji Dingjin was determined to die, so naturally he wouldn't have brought the storage bag with him to give to me; it might have been taken away by Ai Tuo.

After some reasonable speculation, Chen Mobai first picked up the storage bags he had already opened with his Spiritual Sense, and then emptied them one by one.

Before long, the floor of the relatively spacious wooden house was filled with piles of Spirit Stone, pills, Minerals, books, and other items.

He used his Spiritual Sense to quickly complete the inventory.

There are probably 27,000 Spirit Stone in total, and the ores that can be collected by Foundation Establishment Cultivator are at least Second Grade, and there are even two Third Grade Life Stone.

This stone contains extremely gentle Spirit Vein Earth Qi. If placed in Second Grade high-quality Spirit Field and dissolved using a special method, it can yield an acre of Third Grade Spirit Field.

These two Life Stone were obtained from Ai Tuo's storage bag.

Chen Mobai cherished it dearly, but there were currently no Third Grade Spirit Field in his Little South Mountain.

Upgrade by two acres, and once the Green Jade Spirit Rice and Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice mature, he can lead Zhuo Ming to begin hybridization experiments with Third Tier Spirit Rice.

Next, he sorted out the pills and put them into a special storage bag, which also contained the pills he had previously obtained from the Xuan Jinzhi storage bag.

In total, it's worth four or five thousand Spirit Stone.

As for the remaining books, Chen Mobai only glanced at them. They were all Body Tempering Cultivation Method that Mountain Shaking Peak, or Earth Master Legacy, without any magical spells like "Falling Treasure Golden Light" that surprised him.

He selected books on the Earth Master Legacy, intending to give them to Luo Yixuan tomorrow. Although this disciple had not yet mastered the Earth Master Legacy, as her teacher, he would certainly support her since she was interested.

After tidying up, Chen Mobai looked at the last two storage bags.

He went to the wooden table in the room, took out his Talisman Making tools, took out a piece of Second-tier Jade Talisman Paper, straightened it, and with swift and skillful Dragon Snake, easily drew the Blank Talisman.

He immediately broke open both storage bags as well.

Because he was filled with anticipation, Chen Mobai picked them up one by one, starting with the one with Golden Thread trim.

The first thing to drop was ten crystal-clear, High-grade Spirit Stone.

Seeing this, Chen Mobai grinned and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This guy is much richer than his junior sister Xuan Jinzhi.

Are all the Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Xuanxiao Dao Palace so well-stocked with storage bags? They're guaranteed to yield at High-grade Spirit Stone.

Then two Golden Halberd, five pieces of Gold Crystal, and a large pile of pills fell from the storage bag onto the floor.

Gold Crystal and Xuan Jinzhi are the same; they can be used to cultivate the Falling Treasure Golden Light.

Golden Halberd Chen Mobai also remembered that when he fought Xuanxiao, the latter had used the same weapon, which was so powerful that it was almost comparable to his Azure Flame Sword Sha.

Unfortunately, in the end, it was still deformed by his Five Elements Sword Finger.

After examining the two Golden Halberd, Chen Mobai realized that it was because the Magic Artifact were of poor quality.

This Golden Halberd is merely Second Grade low-grade magic Magic Artifact, but it is a one-time use magic Magic Artifact. When combined with the secret technique cultivated by Xuanxiao, it can unleash a powerful force close to that of Third Grade magic weapon at the cost of destroying the Magic Artifact itself.

Although Chen Mobai did not cultivate the Xuanxiao Dao Palace's techniques, if he were willing to put in the effort, with his expertise in Treasure Appraisal, he could deduce the refining method and incantation of the Golden Halberd.

This Magic Artifact was useless to him; it was not as useful as a sword strike he could casually unleash.

However, it can be bestowed upon one's own disciple. Although Qi Cultivation Cultivator cannot unleash the full power of the Golden Halberd, it can play a miraculous role in critical moments.

After checking Xuanxiao's storage bag, Chen Mobai picked up Ji Dingjin's bag, opened it, and gently poured it onto the ground.

With a series of dull thuds, pieces of silvery-gray ore fell onto the wooden floor.

"Huh, what's this...?"

At first, Chen Mobai was a little incredulous. After carefully examining the stone repeatedly, he finally confirmed that it was indeed Void Stone.

Ji Dingjin's storage bag contained only Void Stone.

Chen Mobai counted them; there were a total of thirty-eight pieces.

These all appear to have been mined from raw ore and have not yet been cut. They are irregularly shaped but roughly the same size.

In the Eastern Wasteland, these Void Stone are generally considered to be of the Third Grade, and each one is worth thousands of Spirit Stone.

In other words, Ji Dingjin's bag contained nearly 40,000 Spirit Stone.
