Two Years

After Luo Yixuan left Giant Wood Ridge, Chen Mobai accompanied Zhuo Ming to plant the Green Jade Spirit Rice and tried new hybridization experiments on the two acres of Third Grade Spirit Field.

He hopes to cultivate Third Tier Spirit Rice that is suitable for growing in the environment of Giant Wood Ridge.

However, this was destined to be a long-term experiment. Fortunately, Chen Mobai had already trained Zhuo Ming. After giving her some instructions, he returned to the new dojo to begin his secluded cultivation of the Longevity Dao Body.

This is the best Body Tempering Cultivation Method of the Divine Wood Sect. The method of cultivation is very simple: just refine the Longevity Tree Sap.

If there is no Longevity Tree Sap, one can absorb spiritual energy of the Wood Attribute and integrate it into the body, but the efficiency of the two methods is vastly different.

Zhou Wangshen possessed enough Longevity Tree Sap, and it took him nearly ten years to finally cultivate the Longevity Dao Body First Layer.

If one relies solely on absorbing spiritual energy to improve, it would take approximately ten times longer.

Even for Core Formation Cultivator, spending a hundred years merely cultivating a Body Tempering Cultivation Method that prolongs life, enhances physique, and provides powerful recovery is a very poor trade-off.

But if there were the Longevity Tree Sap, it would be a completely different story. Even Qi Cultivation Cultivator could afford to invest ten years.

Moreover, Chen Mobai also possesses the "Precious Fire Body Tempering Technique" obtained from the Talent Tree.

This secret technique can use the Azure Sun Fire to quickly refine and evaporate the powerful vitality contained in the Longevity Tree Sap, permeating the entire body and making the cultivation of the Longevity Dao Body even faster.

For Chen Mobai, the only problem in cultivating this Body Tempering Technique was that he didn't have enough Longevity Tree Sap.

The Longevity Dao Body First Layer requires refining all 206 Bones of the human body into a drop of Longevity Tree Sap to create an Indestructible Diamond skeleton. Then, through the bone network, a powerful life force is emanated from the inside out, permeating the five internal organs, muscles, skin, meridians, acupoints, and so on.

Chen Mobai had already refined 30 drops, and with the 100 drops offered by Luo Yixuan, he was still 76 drops short.

However, this was not a difficult task for him.

At worst, I can just cultivate a few more Water Attribute techniques and then go and plunder the Magic Treasure Tree.

In any case, he can easily afford to invest this amount of time.

However, it would be best if Liu Wenbai successfully Foundation Establishment. This Senior Disciple cultivated both the Water-Wood cultivation techniques. If he went to the Magic Treasure Tree, he might be able to obtain the Longevity Tree Sap, just like Luo Yixuan.

Even if Liu Wenbai failed to open it, the Divine Wood Sect still has many True Disciple who cultivate Water Attribute techniques.

Because he had someone to back him up, Chen Mobai didn't wait any longer. After finishing his work, he began to refine the Longevity Tree Sap drop by drop.

In Chen Mobai's hands, the Azure Sun Fire had long been perfected and refined. Using it as fuel, a drop of the Longevity Tree Sap, full of vitality, was completely refined and fused by one of Chen Mobai's bones in just seven or eight days.

Chen Mobai also tried to refine the Longevity Tree Sap without using the Precious Fire Body Tempering Technique.

The efficiency difference is twice as much; the latter takes half a month to refine and fuse even a single drop.

With each drop of the Longevity Tree Sap he refined, Chen Mobai clearly felt his physical body grow stronger. This feeling of constant change and improvement made him completely absorbed in it.

Moreover, as his physical body grew stronger, Chen Mobai also felt that his control over spiritual power and Spiritual Sense was becoming more and more precise, and he could even perform subtle operations that he couldn't do before.

This subtle improvement surprised him even more.

Because the final stage of Core Formation is a test of control, Chen Chun once said that if he failed to Core Formation, it would probably be because he couldn't control the surge of power at the last moment.

I never expected that practicing Body Tempering Technique would yield such results.

After realizing this, Chen Mobai became even more fascinated with cultivating the Longevity Dao Body.

A year passed quickly, and half of Luo Yixuan's large bag of Longevity Tree Sap had already been refined by Chen Mobai.

He was cultivating that day when he suddenly sensed a surge of spiritual energy beneath the Longevity Wood.

Chen Mobai was jolted awake from his meditation. He activated his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye and looked down, quickly spotting his Senior Disciple who was attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment.

After a long pause, Chen Mobai's face showed regret.

Ultimately, this Senior Disciple lacked the necessary foundation and could not succeed on his first attempt.

"Wen Bai, there's no need to force the transformation, lest it cause irreversible damage. If it fails, just let nature take its course."

His Spiritual Eye saw that the Liquid Spiritual Power condensed in Liu Wenbai's dantian was beginning to dissipate, but Liu Wenbai wanted to forcibly stop this process and continue to Foundation Establishment, so he couldn't help but Telepathic Message to remind him.

Chen Mobai's three disciples revered their master as a god, so when Liu Wenbai heard his words, he struggled for a moment before dejectedly releasing Spiritual Sense control over spiritual power.

The powerful spiritual energy that had gathered around him began to slowly dissipate.

About fifteen minutes later, Liu Wenbai opened his eyes, his face pale. He saw Chen Mobai standing not far away, his face dejected and his expression desperate.

"This disciple is incompetent and Foundation Establishment Failure."

"For most people, failure is the norm in life, and success is just a fluke. What you need to do is succeed after repeated failures."

Over the years, Chen Mobai had developed feelings for his kind and honest Senior Disciple, though he didn't place the same high hopes on him as Zhuo Ming. Seeing his pale face and the despair in his eyes, as if he had reached the end of his life, he couldn't help but offer words of comfort.

"Master, I will take good care of Little South Mountain Shop from now on, and I hope to stay by your side for a long time."

Liu Wenbai grew up in the Eastern Wasteland. Although he was simple and honest by nature, he had seen many disciples who had no potential to break through to the next realm being sent away by their masters, and gradually their friendships would fade away and they would never see each other again.

His ten years in Little South Mountain were arguably the most carefree time of his life. Now that Foundation Establishment Failure, he is afraid that his master-disciple relationship with Chen Mobai will fade away as a result, so he is somewhat apprehensive.

"You're not even forty yet, and you haven't lost any of your lifespan this Foundation Establishment. You still have at least two more chances, so why be so discouraged? Just rest and recuperate until the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma matures."

Chen Mobai actually still had a Foundation Establishment Pill. He had bought two Foundation Establishment Pills from the Bao Se Market Town of the Nan Xuan Sect, originally for Chen Xinglan. Unfortunately, after his father Foundation Establishment Failure again, he gave up on them.

The remaining pill was originally intended for my cousin if she Foundation Establishment Failure.

But after thinking about it, I realized it was better to avoid leaving any traces with the Immortal Sect, so I kept it on my hand.

Chen Mobai had thought that if any of his three disciples Foundation Establishment Failure, he could give them this pill. However, after observing Liu Wenbai's state of mind, he felt that even if he gave him ten more Foundation Establishment, he would probably fail again. Therefore, he planned to hone his Senior Disciple first.

"Yes, Master!"

After hearing this, Liu Wenbai's expression softened slightly.

Chen Mobai had him extend his hand to take his pulse. After confirming that the Foundation Establishment Failure had not left any future problems, he nodded with relief and returned to the wooden house in the tree.

About three days later, Liu Wenbai regained his mobility and sent a message to Chen Mobai, expressing his intention to leave.

"Although your Foundation Establishment Failure did not damage your lifespan, it did harm your essence. Go back and rest for two years. If you are really bored, go help Zhuo Ming with farming. You must not Spell Duel with others or overwork yourself during these years."

Chen Mobai came down to see his Senior Disciple off, personally giving him a few words of advice. Liu Wenbai nodded and left the Longevity Wood Dao Field with a guilty expression.

Chen Mobai was also saddened by this matter for two days.

However, he is no longer the same person who was once troubled by Meng Huang'er's Foundation Establishment Failure after Chan Si left. Now, he is more mature and can accept the facts with a sense of sadness.

Ruyi are a constant throughout a person's life.

Only by extending one's life can one find those precious moments of success amidst many failures.

Therefore, Chen Mobai's motivation to cultivate the Longevity Dao Body was even stronger.

During this time, he returned to Butian Sky Mending Dao Academy Sky Mending Dao Academy, because his studies there had basically come to an end, and he had graduated with full marks in the courses on governance and warfare that he had mainly studied.

He still hadn't mastered the Square Inch Book, but he didn't care.

As for the Sky Mending Dao Academy, according to Venerable Yuanxu's idea, it would be better for Chen Mobai to stay, since he was needed to help repair the Formless Puppet.

For this reason, Fu Borong had a special talk with Chen Mobai, saying that he could arrange for him to become a formal employee of the Immortal Sect Three Great Halls, and that once he had enough seniority, he would be guaranteed to receive the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill Rejuvenation Pill, as long as he was willing to continue staying at the Sky Mending Dao Academy.

However, Chen Mobai couldn't wait that many years, and he had too many secrets. He was afraid that if he showed too much face in front of Venerable Yuanxu, this being with a brain that was half a Nascent Soul level would discover his secrets.

So he politely declined, explaining that during his five years of study at the Sky Mending Dao Academy, his horizons had broadened considerably, and he had already begun to grasp the inspiration for Core Formation.

That is why he doesn't even have the energy to comprehend the Spirit Transmutation Cultivation Technique, Square Inch Book. Now he only wants to return to his hometown to cultivate in seclusion and try to touch the path of Core Formation in the softest, purest place in his heart.

Upon hearing Chen Mobai's words, not only Fu Borong, but even Venerable Yuanxu was taken aback.

Fearing that he might actually hinder the Potential for Spirit Transmutation the Immortal Sect, he immediately approved the graduation certificate.

"Originally, if you had stayed, the Venerable Master had planned to personally open a Realm Gate for you..."

On the day he received his graduation certificate, Fu Borong said with a regretful expression.

Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised after hearing this.

The Open Up Golden Core Domain within the Immortal Sect requires the assistance of the supreme treasure, the Realm Gate. To utilize this supreme treasure, one must at least be a Nascent Soul cultivator.

After Chen Mobai reached the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, he applied to Open Up Golden Core Domain on the official website of the Immortal Sect.

However, since the two new Golden Core True Person in recent years had already successfully established their foundations during the Foundation Establishment, no Nascent Soul cultivators bothered to expend their energy on such a trivial matter, which is why he has been in the queue all this time.

Unexpectedly, Venerable Yuanxu was willing to take action for him.

Even so, Chen Mobai's determination to leave the Sky Mending Dao Academy remained unwavering.

He possesses resources from both realms; as long as he can successfully Core Formation, his future will be bright no matter where he is.

The Golden Core Domain is quite good, but compared to the Core Formation, it can be put aside.

Moreover, even if one fails to establish a foundation during the initial stage, there is still a chance after Core Formation Foundation Establishment stage.

Therefore, after completing his studies, Chen Mobai decisively chose to graduate.

The only thing he regretted was having to part ways with Yan Bingxuan. Although she had already grasped the basics of the Vital Energy Department, she still needed to learn more and conduct numerous experiments to synthesize the Ice Soul Divine Light that best suited her.

The Sky Mending Dao Academy has the best experimental conditions in this area, so staying here is the best choice for her.

"I can apply for graduation next year too."

On the night Chen Mobai left the Sky Mending Dao Academy, he and Yan Bingxuan were walking on the road in West Xuan Cave Heaven when the latter suddenly spoke up.

What do you plan to do after graduation?

"The Crimson Cloud Academy has the backing of the Natural Academy. I will go there to become a teacher. After I have enough years of service, I will exchange them for a Water Origin Golden Core Pill. I hope I can successfully Core Formation." When Yan Bingxuan said this, she looked straight at Chen Mobai, and she didn't say the rest of her sentence.

She wanted to keep up with him as much as possible and walk alongside him.

After hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but offer some advice.

"After I go back, I may go into seclusion for ten or twenty years. There's no need for you to come back with me. You should take advantage of this rare opportunity to enrich and improve yourself at the Sky Mending Dao Academy."

Yan Bingxuan frowned slightly after hearing this. She wanted to express her true feelings, but she also felt that Chen Mobai's words made a lot of Possessing the Dao.

If he really goes back and secludes himself for many years, then it really won't be very interesting for her to be alone in Vermilion Cloud City.

"Then remember to call me when you get through customs."

In the end, Yan Bingxuan followed Chen Mobai's advice and stayed in the Sky Mending Dao Academy to synthesize the Ice Soul Divine Light first.

"Yes, you'll be the first person I call after I Core Formation!"

Chen Mobai spoke with great confidence. If anyone else had said this, Yan Bingxuan would have just thought he was bragging. But this guy's words made her feel proud and confident.

"After Core Formation, I hope you can wait for me and not progress so quickly."

Before parting, Yan Bingxuan suddenly said this.

Chen Mobai, however, did not understand her meaning. He shook his head, indicating that as a supporter of the Realm School, he would never stop pursuing a higher realm at the fastest speed.

Yan Bingxuan saw him off at the Airport with a speechless expression.

After returning to Vermilion Cloud City, Chen Mobai nominally rented a Third Grade spiritual energy Cultivation Room at the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy, leaving behind a Puppetry as a sign that he would cultivate there.

In reality, his true form returned to the Sky River Realm and, with the help of the Fourth Tier High-grade Spirit Vein of the Longevity Wood, began to continue cultivating the Longevity Dao Body.

Time flies, and another year has passed quickly.

That day, Chen Mobai finished refining the last drop of the Longevity Tree Sap and planned to go out to chat with Meng Hong for a while, wanting to know if any newly Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect had opened the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

It would be impolite to go empty-handed, so Chen Mobai planned to go back to Little South Mountain first to get two jars of Zhuo Ming wine.

When he flew over Little South Mountain, his expression suddenly turned to surprise and doubt.

Opening his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye and looking down at the thousands of acres of Spirit Field, he discovered that the vast land seemed to come alive in that instant, with a continuous Earth Vein Spiritual Energy flowing towards a certain spot at the foot of Little South Mountain.

What's going on?
