Secret Art for Extracting Longevity Tree Sap

Hong He had already completed his ten-year mission of guarding the Yu Country, but instead of returning to his sect, he took on the mission of guarding the Cloud Dream Marsh.

Besides him, E Yun was also like that.

Because the Cloud Dream Marsh is rich in resources and many areas are undeveloped, with their cultivation level, controlling a market there would make it easier for them to obtain cultivation resources than it is here in the sect.

Many Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect who still yearn to Core Formation their Core form take on the task of guarding the Cloud Dream Marsh every so often.

They usually work for ten years, then return to their sect to cultivate for ten years, and the cycle continues...

Hong He, as the invincible true disciple of Chen Mobai's previous sect, was highly regarded by everyone in the Divine Wood Sect for his talent.

His personality is completely different from Chen Mobai's steady development. He likes to put pressure on himself and constantly push himself to break through and improve.

At Yin Qingmei's Foundation Establishment Conference, Hong He confidently tested his skills against Chen Mobai, but he was defeated before he could even withstand a single move under the sword's power.

Although this dealt a blow to Hong He, it also inspired his high morale, making him cultivate even more diligently in the following ten years, fight against Demon Beast, and improve his cultivation while honing his Spell Duel skills.

Thanks to its own efforts and the abundant resources of Cloud Dream Marsh, Hong He finally felt the bottleneck loosening not long ago.

Without any hesitation, he immediately took a precious pill that he had painstakingly refined and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the breakthrough. Finally, a year later, he advanced to the late stage of Foundation Establishment and even mastered a Third Grade spell.

After the Hong He was breached, I felt that the sky was high and the land was vast, the mountains were high and the rivers were long, and every blade of grass and every tree was full of vitality.

Just as he couldn't help but burst into laughter, preparing to return to his sect to test the sword's edge against Chen Mobai again, a piece of news shocked him so much that his expression changed drastically.

What? The sect Nan Xuan Sect have started a war in the Yan Kingdom?

With Old Ancestor Zhou unable to attend to other matters, the Divine Wood Sect is certainly no match for the Nan Xuan Sect, and they also have to be wary of the Six Armor Mountain, which has been eyeing them covetously for some time.

Upon hearing this news, Hong He instantly analyzed the situation of both sides. Just as he was preparing to take the Teleportation Array to the Yan Kingdom to aid the sect, Wei Chunfu, the market manager who was reporting to him, said with a relaxed expression that the war was over.

"It's over? Did we lose?"

Hong He analyzed and considered all the forces in the Eastern Wasteland and felt that the sect's chances of winning were less than 20%. However, he noticed Wei Chunfu's relaxed expression amidst his surprise and doubt, and felt that something was wrong.

"We have won. The great formation of the Nanxuan Sect's base at Baose Mountain has been breached by the sect. The Core Formation cultivator Nan Xuanjing was killed on the battlefield by our sect's Ancestor Chen. The Core Formation cultivator Nan Shidao of Liujia Mountain was also killed by Ancestor Mo of Jinguang Cliff. Only Zhao Xuankang escaped."

"Old Ancestor Chen? Is this an outside help that the two ancestors invited from beyond the Eastern Wasteland?"

Hong He asked in surprise, "There is no Core Formation Cultivator with the surname Chen in the Eastern Wasteland."

"It was Ancestor Chen Guixian. He left Giant Wood Ridge and found a secluded place to Core Formation. After he succeeded, he happened to be caught up in the great battle between the sect and the Nan Xuan Sect."

"Nan Xuanjing thought his cultivation was high, but little did he know that Old Ancestor Chen was an unparalleled sword genius whose talent surpassed that of Ancestor Mo. After Core Formation, his sword realm reached a level that was unfathomable."

"It is said that Old Ancestor Chen used his sword to control the Tribulation Thunder, one sword to kill the heavens, two swords to defeat the enemy, and finally, with a single spit, he reached the profound realm of Sword Forging into Orb, easily severing Nan Xuanjing's head. His unparalleled style is something to be admired just by thinking about it."

After hearing Wei Chunfu's words, Hong He stood there stunned, speechless for a long time.

He actually Core Formation?! I'm only at the late Foundation Establishment stage!

The thought of how he had planned to challenge Chen Mobai's sword aura with his Third Grade Blue Wave Condensed Light when he emerged from seclusion made Hong He's face feel slightly hot.

Fortunately, I only thought about it in my mind at that time, and I didn't have time to say it out loud and put pressure on myself.

Hong He likes pressure, but challenging the Foundation Establishment Core Formation stage is no longer pressure, it's a sign of mental instability.

How could he cultivate so quickly? After regaining his senses, Hong He was also shocked that Chen Mobai had gone from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation in just over twenty years.

Before Hong He joined the Divine Wood Sect, he had a fortuitous opportunity, which is why he was able to cultivate at a speed almost like Heaven Spirit Root and progress rapidly.

Within the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he obtained another immortal destiny.

This is how he was able to break through realms so quickly after Foundation Establishment, reaching the late stage of cultivation in just thirty years.

Yin Qingmei, who Heaven Spirit Root, doesn't cultivate as fast as him.

That is why he is confident that he can catch up with Chen Mobai, and even surpass him.

But now he's telling him that the person he's chasing Core Formation!

How... how do I chase after him?

Although Hong He was very confident in himself, he still held a sense of awe towards the Core Formation Major Realm. Even with his abundant opportunities, he wasn't 100% certain.

But Chen Mobai succeeded on his first try after already reaching the Foundation Establishment stage!

Hong He pondered Old Ancestor Chen's identity Sword Cultivator and the circumstances Core Formation, and felt that he had vaguely guessed some of the "truth".

It must have been under immense pressure from the Nan Xuan Sect that Old Ancestor Chen, driven by a strong sense of responsibility to carry the sect's banner, coupled with an indomitable Sword Dao Will and a steadfast belief that he would either succeed or die trying, took that step towards Core Formation.

Thinking of this, for the first time in his life, Hong He felt admiration for others.

The environment in which Old Ancestor Chen Core Formation was like a pack of wolves eyeing him. He had to leave the sect to avoid being seen, and he was under immense pressure not to fail. Any other cultivator would probably develop Heart Demon under such pressure and would probably die from spiritual energy collapse before even triggering the Heavenly Tribulation.

But Old Ancestor Chen succeeded! Hong He, who always liked to put pressure on himself, felt inferior to others for the first time.

It should be noted that Hong He initially looked down on Chen Mobai, because he felt that since the latter had mastered the Sword Fiend and was already invincible at the Foundation Establishment stage, it was a waste of his extraordinary sword talent to stay in the sect and cultivate every day.

But now, Hong He understands.

I was just too superficial.

Fighting against Demon Beast, adventuring in the Cloud Dream Marsh, or even engaging in life-or-death battles with rogue Rogue Cultivator and Demonic Cultivator —these are merely superficial pressures beyond physical life and death.

Only those who dare to shoulder the responsibility for the survival of their sect and protect its continued legacy are truly courageous.

The more Hong He analyzed Old Ancestor Chen, the more he felt his own shallowness.

He immediately realized that he could no longer hide in Cloud Dream Marsh, but should learn from this Old Ancestor Chen and take on the future of the sect when he was in the Foundation Establishment.

So Hong He immediately applied to the sect to end his mission of overseeing Cloud Dream Marsh, and then took the Teleportation Array to travel through several markets before returning to Giant Wood Ridge.

Little did I know that upon my return, I would receive an enormous surprise.

Old Ancestor Chen actually wanted to summon him, and besides him, Yin Qingmei was also there.

Both of them were disciples of Fu Zongjue, and their Cave Mansion were in adjacent mountains. Naturally, they reported the matter of being summoned to Fu Zongjue immediately.

Fu Zongjue was busy studying the Six Armor Mountain Puppetry Technique. After listening to the two disciples' words, he contacted Chen Mobai using the Sky-Connecting Instrument. After learning that they were going to impart their Core Formation Experience, he had some doubts.

"Junior brother, their cultivation hasn't reached the peak of Foundation Establishment yet. Isn't it too early?"

"The Core Formation is actually the same as the Foundation Establishment, a transformation in essence, energy, and spirit. If you wait until the Foundation Establishment is complete to cram, it will be too late. The more Core Formation Cultivator a sect has, the stronger it will become, and the less likely it is to be invaded by external enemies. I will share my insights with them first. Even if it only increases the chances by 10%, over a hundred years and several generations of disciples, we might have one more junior brother or sister."

"Junior brother, you have a broad vision and a grand perspective that I cannot match. I will leave my two disciples to you to trouble you."

After hearing this, Fu Zongjue also felt that his vision was too small compared to Chen Mobai's. His thinking was still stuck in the ancient concept that high-level inheritances cannot be easily passed on, and even if they are, they can only be passed on one person at a time.

The matter of passing on Core Formation Experience Chu Zuoshu to Chu Zuoshu had been decided long ago, but in principle, it was necessary to discuss the matter with Zhou Shengqing before passing it on to Hong He and Yin Qingmei.

However, Zhou Shengqing is currently most averse to being disturbed, so Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue should discuss it together.

Hong He and Yin Qingmei were Fu Zongjue, so the latter had no reason to disagree.

After disconnecting the communication with the Sky-Connecting Instrument, he explained what had happened.

When Hong He and Yin Qingmei heard the words "Core Formation Experience," their breathing quickened, their faces flushed, and their eyes lit up with excitement.

the next day.

Hong He, who usually doesn't care much about his appearance, made a rare effort to tidy up his clothes, shaved off his beard that he had grown over the years, and put on what he considered to be his most presentable attire.

He thought he had wasted a lot of time, but little did he know that Yin Qingmei had wasted even more.

I have no idea what she was doing; she only appeared right at the exact time of the summons.

"Old Ancestor Chen is a hermit who is devoted to practicing swordsmanship. What use is all this rouge and powder to you?"

Hong He himself was an ascetic, and when he saw Yin Qingmei with her exquisite makeup, he couldn't help but snort coldly and headed towards the Longevity Wood Dao Field where Chen Mobai was.

"This is basic etiquette and a sign of respect for Old Ancestor Chen. You shaved your beard too."

Although Yin Qingmei and Hong He are nominally fellow disciples, their relationship is just so-so. After all, the latter has been outside the sect since he reached the Foundation Establishment, only returning once every few years.

As a person with Heaven Spirit Root, Yin Qingmei was a treasure of the sect, and she was not allowed to leave her home during either of the two major battles.

If it weren't for their master, Fu Zongjue, the two probably wouldn't have had anything to talk about.

"It's too late. The Ancestor summons you. You must arrive at least an hour in advance!"

Before they arrived at the Longevity Wood Dao Field, Chu Zuoshu was already waiting there. As the Sect Leader, he immediately reprimanded the two of them.

Hong He frowned slightly and glared at Yin Qingmei beside him. The latter lowered her head and obediently accepted the scolding.

"Sect Leader, it seems it's time for Old Ancestor Chen to summon us."

As they continued their tirade, seeing that Chu Zuoshu showed no sign of stopping, Hong He immediately reminded him.

Throughout the entire Divine Wood Sect, he only held the Core Formation Ancestor in awe. He believed that with his talent, he could surpass the other Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even the Sect Leader, sooner or later.

So, seeing that it might delay his chance to hear the Core Formation Experience, Hong He immediately interrupted.

"Old Ancestor Chen's disciple has arrived, so our business will be postponed."

Chu Zuoshu was actually just looking for an excuse to pass the time, and once Hong He said that, he stopped scolding Yin Qingmei.

"Old Ancestor Chen's disciple? Is it Junior Liu, or Junior Sisters Zhuo and Luo?"

Although Hong He was arrogant, he was aware of the three people from the Little South Mountain Lineage Foundation Establishment, as they were disciples of his former rivals.

"It's Junior Sister Zhuo. Junior Sister Luo had some trouble a few years ago and has since disappeared. Didn't you know?"

"Huh?"

Hong He really didn't know, after all, he had only cared about Chen Mobai before, and Chen Mobai had chosen to handle Luo Yixuan's disappearance discreetly to avoid any unexpected attention.

After listening to what Chu Zuoshu said, Hong He frowned slightly.

He kept this matter in mind, thinking that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would use his connections to see if he could find this Junior Sister Luo.

Just then, a Escape Light descended, revealing a woman with a gentle demeanor, dressed as a village woman.

"Junior Sister Zhuo, does Old Ancestor Chen have time now?"

When Chu Zuoshu saw Zhuo Ming, he couldn't help but ask her politely.

"Yes, it was Master who asked me to take you up there."

Over the years, Zhuo Ming has been farming in Little South Mountain. She always carries a hoe and a fruit basket with her, and without Luo Yixuan, who pays attention to her appearance, to help her dress up, she has completely taken on the look of a village woman in recent years.

As she spoke, a yellowish-brown spiritual light surged forth, enveloping Chu Zuoshu and the other two, and heading towards the largest branch on the Longevity Wood.

Before long, the four of them arrived at the door of the wooden house perched on the branch.

The door was wide open, and inside sat a handsome young man in a red and black robe.

Before him stood a Foundation Establishment from a sect who greatly surprised them; she was a Spiritual Water young woman.

"Gu Yan, I didn't expect to see you here too."

As the Chu Zuoshu Sect Leader, Chu Zuoshu knew all the Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the sect very well, and knew that these were the cultivators who had just achieved Foundation Establishment in the past few years after receiving guidance from Old Ancestor Chen.

She was very lucky; she found a bag of Longevity Tree Sap in the Divine Tree Secret Realm and exchanged it for 100,000 Spirit Stone from Old Ancestor Chen.

Why did you come here today? Could it be that after Old Ancestor Chen Core Formation, he felt that the 100,000 Spirit Stone were too hot to handle?

"My Gu Yan obtained a secret technique that is very useful to me in the Divine Tree Secret Realm. Today, Ming'er specially brought her here to tell me about it."

Chen Mobai said with a gentle smile.

This secret technique was obtained by Gu Yan from the Talent Tree. It is a method for extracting the Longevity Tree Sap from the Longevity Wood, which is very useful to Chen Mobai.

At this moment Gu Yan also got up to say goodbye.

"Ming'er, please see Junior Nephew Gu off."

Chen Mobai immediately gave instructions to Zhuo Ming.
