Transplanting the Immortal Peach Tree
Yan Jinye is Zhuo Ming's best friend within the sect. Even before Zhuo Ming had reached the Foundation Establishment, the two often discussed various new methods of brewing Spirit Wine together.
This time, Zhuo Ming was taken by Chen Mobai to Black Cloud Mountain to transplant that Third Tier Immortal Peach Tree, so Yan Jinye was asked to come and help take care of some precious Spirit Plant on Little South Mountain.
Although most of the Spirit Field in Little South Mountain are planted with various kinds of Spirit Rice, there is a Enlightenment White Tea that Chen Mobai brought from the Immortal Sect.
This is a new Tea Seed created by Wenren Xuewei to recreate the Enlightenment Tea. Her best one is already Third Grade superior tea, and the one she gave to Chen Mobai can at least be cultivated to Third Grade tea.
During the years that Chen Mobai was in the Core Formation, Zhuo Ming used the Omniscient Connection to combine this Enlightenment White Tea with the Earth Vein Spiritual Energy of Little South Mountain. Not only was the transplant successful, but it was also growing vigorously.
With abundant spiritual energy and the most suitable growing environment, this Enlightenment White Tea has reached a critical point of transformation.
Once this hurdle is overcome, the tea produced each year will be of the Second Grade.
Although Zhuo Ming knew from his investigation with the Omniscient Connection that the transformation process would take another six months, the Tea Seed was too precious, so he asked Yan Jinye to come and help take care of it before he left.
When Qi Rui arrived, he didn't try to hide his presence. Yan Jinye, who was helping to look after the house, immediately noticed him and came out to greet him.
The two, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, started chatting at the foot of the mountain.
"Although I thought Old Ancestor Chen was incredibly talented, I never expected him to become the third Core Formation Cultivator of my Divine Wood Sect."
They naturally brought up Chen Mobai, a young rogue Rogue Cultivator they had met on Green Light Island. Qi Rui was filled with emotion and admiration for him.
An unintentional act of kindness resulted in the acquisition of an invaluable Foundation Establishment, which was a life -Grace of Rebirth for Qi Rui, who had been somewhat disheartened after Foundation Establishment Failure.
"Old Ancestor Chen possesses the inheritance of the Supreme Holy Land, yet he does not hoard it. If it weren't for his guidance on how to resolve the Pill Toxin, my cultivation would not have progressed so quickly."
Yan Jinye was the same; the Spirit Essence Method taught to her by Chen Mobai greatly increased her success rate in Alchemy.
Although she no longer takes pills to improve her cultivation because of Chen Mobai's teachings, she refines and sells them to obtain the cultivation resources she needs, and is now at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment.
Among those Foundation Establishment in the same year, he was only second to Chen Mobai and Hong He, who were vying for the position of sect Sect Leader.
As the two chatted, they saw a pale red Misty Cloud Qi on the horizon, like a fiery sunset sweeping across the sky and rushing toward them.
Just as the two of them were looking on in surprise, they suddenly discovered that the Mountain Protecting Great Formation of Giant Wood Ridge had not blocked them at all, and had even opened a gap, allowing the fiery cloud to pour in.
"Oh, Brother Qi is here too. Let's catch up in a bit."
A familiar voice rang in his ears. Qi Rui looked up and saw Chen Mobai standing above the Misty Cloud Qi.
Chen Mobai pushed the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk Magic Artifact to its limit, transforming it into a massive Hong Yun mixed with pale blue water vapor, carrying a dragon-like peach tree as it flew towards the summit of Little South Mountain.
A streak of earthy yellow light descended from the Misty Cloud Qi, and it was Zhuo Ming.
Chen Mobai had been eyeing this Third Tier Immortal Peach Tree from Black Cloud Mountain for a long time. Now that his cultivation was sufficient and Zhuo Ming's Spirit Plant skills were also highly developed, the master and disciple took immediate action.
After uprooting the immortal Immortal Peach Tree from Black Cloud Mountain, Chen Mobai brought it back to Giant Wood Ridge as quickly as possible.
"Senior Sister Yan, please lend a hand!"
After Zhuo Ming landed on the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk, he immediately waved to Yan Jinye, who came over right away. The two of them poured two large buckets of pre-mixed Spiritual Water around the pit on the mountaintop that had been cleared in advance. Then, Chen Mobai used his immense strength to slowly lower the thick, gnarled Immortal Peach Tree, which landed with perfect precision in the center of the pit.
After completing all this, Zhuo Ming used the Earth Mother Technique to connect the Earth Vein Spiritual Energy with the Immortal Peach Tree.
Transplanting a complete Tier Third Grade Spirit Plant is a huge burden for Little South Mountain, since the Spirit Vein here has only managed to maintain its Tier Third Grade level after several attempts to cultivate Spirit Field.
However, precious Spirit Plant can grow and thrive together with Spirit Vein.
This Immortal Peach Tree is the reason why Black Cloud Mountain has Third Grade- tier Spirit Vein. It is because it suppresses the earth's veins and gathers spiritual energy.
It was for this reason that Chen Mobai decided to transplant the Immortal Peach Tree intact to Little South Mountain, rather than turning it into Spirit Plant seed and incorporating it into his Golden Core Domain.
The Seed Wood Art obtained from the Talent Tree can transform mature Spirit Plant into seeds, ensuring successful transplantation. However, it takes a long time to slowly activate the energy contained within the seeds, eventually allowing them to grow back to their original grade.
This transplant of the Immortal Peach Tree was the most original whole-tree transplant, in order to suppress the spiritual energy and enhance the Spirit Vein of Little South Mountain.
The source of the Spirit Vein of Giant Wood Ridge was once suppressed by True Monarch Yi Yuan using three Longevity Wood, which helped him to master the Longevity Technique.
After the Primordial Ancestor found this place and broke the seal on the Spirit Vein, the spiritual energy began to spread throughout the entire Giant Wood Ridge, creating the second largest medicinal field in the Eastern Wasteland, as well as the Divine Wood Sect.
However, the diffusion of spiritual energy varies, with some reaching the Fourth Grade and others only the Third Grade level.
Little South Mountain was originally Fourth Grade, but unfortunately, after it was developed into a vast Spirit Field for planting Spirit Rice, the Spirit Vein energy here was dispersed and diluted.
Previously, Chen Mobai used this place as his cultivation ground, and he was relatively restrained in developing the Spirit Field. He even took the initiative to gather spiritual energy to enhance the Spirit Vein.
However, after he moved to the Longevity Wood Dao Field, Zhuo Ming, following his instructions, used most of the spiritual energy to supply the Third Grade Spirit Field, causing the spiritual energy concentration of Little South Mountain to decrease.
Chen Mobai still had feelings for this place; it could be said that the most beautiful memories of the four of them, master and disciples, were here. So, after learning about this, he immediately took Zhuo Ming to Black Cloud Mountain.
After the Immortal Peach Tree falls to the top of the mountain, it becomes Zhuo Ming's domain.
She reached out and touched the rough Bark. Strands of pure Earth Qi surged from Little South Mountain, slowly coming into contact with the slender roots of the Immortal Peach Tree, gradually merging and blending together.
The blue and yellow light intertwined continuously, eventually becoming one.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhuo Ming opened her eyes, slightly out of breath.
"Reporting to Master, the transplant has been successful. However, the soil of Little South Mountain is different from that of Black Cloud Mountain. This Immortal Peach Tree is still adapting. The fruit that will ripen in the next two or three times may not reach the Third Grade standard."
After listening, Chen Mobai looked at the immortal Immortal Peach Tree, whose spirituality was indeed much weaker than before, nodded, and opened his Golden Core Domain.
A jet-black object, neither stone nor flesh, flew out of thin air and landed in front of everyone.
Just as Zhuo Ming and the others were wondering what was going on, Tai Sui had already used Earth Escape to land at Chen Mobai's feet and gently rubbed against his trouser leg.
"I'll need your help a bit."
Chen Mobai reached out and touched the Tai Sui, then used his Spiritual Sense to convey a message to it. The latter immediately nodded, transformed into a beam of yellow light, and burrowed into the soil at the base of the Immortal Peach Tree.
Soon after, the soil began to turn slightly black.
Zhuo Ming, who was practicing the Earth Mother Technique, felt that the Earth Qi of most of Little South Mountain was beginning to surge towards this side, and the spiritual energy in the world was also being absorbed and transformed into a higher level of Earth Origin Force by this black soil.
This Earth Origin Force was not directly poured into the Immortal Peach Tree, but rather filled the soil around its roots.
Each time the Immortal Peach Tree absorbs a stream, another stream flows into the empty gap.
"This Tai Sui is Earth Element spiritual object. The place where it is located is the most suitable treasure land for cultivating Earth Attribute spiritual power. Moreover, it can transform the Earth Qi and spiritual energy into the gentlest Earth Origin Force to nourish the growth of various Spirit Plant."
"These characteristics make this Tai Sui the best fusion agent for refining high-grade pills. In addition, it is also a natural Spirit Field. Covering the top of Little South Mountain is equivalent to Third Grade high-quality Spirit Field, which allows the Immortal Peach Tree to adapt more quickly when there is sufficient Earth Origin Force."
"This thing is most suitable for you. I will teach you how to use and control it. Cultivate it well in the future. If you can cultivate it to the Fourth Grade, I will reward you handsomely."
After introducing the Tai Sui he had obtained from the Ruined Land, Chen Mobai created a branch in the contract, allowing Zhuo Ming to also control it.
After all, this Tai Sui is Third Grade being. Ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator would only be able to be easily defeated if they encountered it.
"Such a wondrous object exists in the world!"
Yan Jinye, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but marvel upon hearing this.
She looked at the black soil on the mountaintop after it had been infused with the Tai Sui. The Immortal Peach Tree that had been somewhat withered because it had just been transplanted there was now visibly much more energetic, with its branches stretching out and actively absorbing the nearby moisture and spiritual energy.
This scene made both her and Zhuo Ming's eyes light up.
This is a portable, Third Grade Spirit Field. If you encounter any extremely rare Herb outside in the future, you can transplant them directly on the spot. Moreover, for Yan Jinye, Alchemy, this thing is a treasure for Alchemy.
"Yes, Master!"
Seeing Zhuo Ming happily accept the Tai Sui contract, Yan Jinye watched with envy, wishing she could also be Chen Mobai's apprentice.
"This is the essence of Tai Sui, containing abundant Earth Origin Force. You should know better than your master how to use it."
As Chen Mobai spoke, he took out the black liquid he had collected earlier from his storage bag and handed it to Zhuo Ming. After taking it, Zhuo Ming said that with this, it would take about a month to help the Enlightenment White Tea successfully transform and advance.
"Among the rice varieties brought by Junior Sister Xue Ting is a type of Yellow Sprout Spirit Rice, which has extremely high requirements for the Earth Qi. If grown in the Spirit Field of Little South Mountain, the rice ears may shrivel. I used this liquid to dilute and mix a kind of spirit material, which may be able to improve this rice variety."
Although the weather in the Snow Country is cold, there is a large area of extremely fertile black soil. This black soil is not very good for growing Herb, but it is extremely suitable for growing Spirit Rice.
It was precisely because of this that after obtaining the seedlings and Spirit Plant Method of Fire Spirit Rice from Little South Mountain, Blowing Snow Palace solved the problem of self-sufficiency in this type of Spirit Rice in less than ten years.
The Five Grain Rice Seed that Xue Ting brought this time all have high requirements for the Earth Qi, with Yellow Sprout Spirit Rice being the highest. Zhuo Ming had been worried about how to solve this problem before, but after obtaining Tai Sui, he instantly had an idea.
"Brother Qi, it's been a long time."
After Zhuo Ming and the envious Yan Jinye went to try the Tai Sui Juice, only Chen Mobai and Qi Rui remained. The former greeted them naturally, while the latter was somewhat reserved.
"Greetings, Old Ancestor Chen."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai knew that the pure friendship they had shared on Green Light Island might never return.
He sighed inwardly, knowing that this was the norm.
As one's cultivation level increases, one becomes increasingly isolated.
That's why he hopes that among his friends, someone can accompany him on his journey.
"Jinghuo is also in the sect. We haven't seen him in a long time. Let's invite him over and have a drink together."
Chen Mobai smiled and took out the Sky-Connecting Instrument to call Xi Jinghuo. At least for now, his friends were still by his side.
Before long, Xi Jinghuo flew over, bringing with him the Qi Hou.
"Senior Brother Zheng Deming has also returned to the sect. He lamented to his grandfather that he was too old to compete for the position of guardian."
After a few rounds of drinks, Xi Jinghuo mentioned someone.
It was Zheng Deming, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator guarded Green Light Island in Cloud Dream Marsh twenty years ago, who was already in the late Foundation Establishment. He had come back specifically to vote after hearing about the policy of electing the Sect Leader.
Zheng Deming's cultivation level was among the top in the sect's Foundation Establishment. Unfortunately, because he was Rogue Cultivator, he couldn't get close to the lineage of the two Core Formation ancestors in the Divine Wood Sect. Therefore, he could only keep going to Cloud Dream Marsh to collect resources for his cultivation.
However, he had a good relationship with Xi Yisheng, who was the one who vouched for him and brought him into the Divine Wood Sect.
"Senior Brother Zheng said that if you had been the Sect Leader when the family split up, he would definitely not be less accomplished than Senior Brother Meng and Senior Brother Chu now."
Xi Jinghuo's attitude towards Chen Mobai was relatively calm. Although she was somewhat respectful, she still treated him as a friend and spoke to him casually.
"Hahaha, it's my fault for arriving in this Eastern Wasteland too late!"
Amidst loud laughter, Chen Mobai raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
After a few drinks, Qi Rui adjusted his mindset and formally approached Chen Mobai, offering him a toast.
Thank you!
Those two short words contained all his emotions.
Chen Mobai smiled and clinked glasses with him, and the moment the wine went down his throat, he felt as if his body had become lighter.
It's like a layer of Karma that was originally binding you has been removed, putting an end to a worry in your heart.
A month passed quickly.
All the Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect who were able to return to the sect did so.
Chen Mobai officially succeeded to the position of the Third Generation Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect and the Reward Hall Master right in front of them.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
On this day, not only Foundation Establishment cultivators, but also all Qi Cultivation Cultivator and many mortals within Giant Wood Ridge paid their respects to Chen Mobai as sect Sect Leader.
It was on this very day that the Spirit Vein of Giant Wood Ridge began to fluctuate violently.
