Nan Xuanjing's Storage Bag

Chen Mobai sat upright in his Dao Field Wooden House, holding a Talisman Brush in his hand, concentrating on drawing a Talisman.

Beside him was a storage bag.

This belongs to Nan Xuanjing!

Having been in the Sky River Realm for so many years, he had become accustomed to opening storage bags, but the storage bags of Core Formation Cultivator still filled him with great anticipation.

The reason he didn't open it immediately was because his Spiritual Sense awareness was not as strong as Nan Xuanjing's, and he was unable to open it.

The Blank Talisman, which could have solved this problem in the past, was no longer effective because his Talisman Master level was still at the Second Grade.

The simplest way would naturally be to go to the Immortal Sect and find a Third-tier Talisman Master to place an order for a custom-made Third Grade Blank Talisman, but the cautious Chen Mobai did not do so.

Because in the Immortal Sect, every Blank Talisman needs to be registered with the Enforcement Department before it can be traded.

Therefore, Chen Mobai could only practice on his own.

Fortunately, he is now Core Formation Cultivator, and the Third Tier Talisman that were once difficult for him are now being mastered little by little with his full dedication.

With the final details filled in, this Third Grade Blank Talisman radiated a layer of spiritual light and was completely formed.

Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief and put the Talisman Brush back on the shelf.

At that moment, a particularly crisp "snap" sound rang out.

Chen Mobai couldn't help but look up and saw that the tip of the Talisman Brush that had just been used on the brush holder had a thin crack.

"We need to find a way to upgrade the Main Talisman Brush."

Watching this scene, Chen Mobai couldn't help but mutter to himself.

His two Main Talisman Brush were originally made by Ming Yihua through a custom order. They have been with him for over twenty years and have been put to good use.

However, now that he Core Formation and is using his cultivation level to enhance his immortal techniques, he has begun to delve into the realm of Third Tier Talisman, and these two Second Grade Main Talisman Brush are no longer sufficient.

It seems I need to go back to the Immortal Sect when I have time and ask the Talisman Master Association whether it's more suitable to customize or to buy directly.

With the Third Grade Talisman Brush, Chen Mobai had no intention of collecting materials in the Eastern Wasteland.

Because the number of Third Grade spirit beasts on the Immortal Sect side is limited, he cannot rashly take out materials of this level. He plans to use the Void Blind Box as an excuse for something crucial.

Or perhaps we could look around the Eastern Wasteland to see if there are any suitable Third Grade Talisman Brush.

Thinking this, Chen Mobai picked up the Third Grade Blank Talisman that he had painstakingly practiced for a month to master drawing, infused it with spiritual power, and then slapped it onto Nan Xuanjing's Storage Bag.

Amidst the rustling sound.

Chen Mobai's wooden house was instantly filled. If he hadn't lifted the roof in time, it would probably have been bloated by the things poured out of his storage bag.

He never expected that Nan Xuanjing's Storage Bag would contain so many things.

Besides the sparkling Spirit Stone, there were mountains of Gold Crystal, totaling two thousand pieces.

Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but beam with joy.

With these resources, plus what he obtained from the Ruined Land, he would have enough to cultivate his Falling Treasure Golden Light to its highest level.

As for why Nan Xuanjing had so much Gold Crystal, Chen Mobai had some guesses.

Within the Xuanxiao Dao Palace, these Gold Crystal are cultivation resources even more precious than Spirit Stone. Many spells require refining the Gold Qi within the Gold Crystal to be mastered, such as the most famous Sun Shooting Divine Halberd Technique and the unorthodox Falling Treasure Golden Light! As the patriarch of the Nanxuan Nan Xuan Sect, Nan Xuanjing should have received these Gold Crystal from the Xuanxiao Dao Palace. Besides being his own cultivation resources, they also served as the stipends for all disciples of the Nan Xuan Sect in the Eastern Wasteland.

However, these Gold Crystal were originally supposed to be distributed annually, possibly covering ten or even twenty years of funding. After Nan Xuanjing was killed by Chen Mobai, they all fell into Chen Mobai's hands along with the storage bag.

After storing the Gold Crystal in a special storage bag, Chen Mobai used his Spiritual Sense to count the Spirit Stone.

This surprised him even more.

Nan Xuanjing was quite wealthy, possessing 256 High-grade Spirit Stone, making him far richer than him.

However, according to Chen Mobai's estimation, Core Formation Cultivator in the Eastern Wasteland should have at least a thousand high-grade items in their storage bag.

Perhaps the impression that Fu Zongjue batting an eye back was too deep, causing him to misjudge.

After packing the Spirit Stone into separate bags again, Chen Mobai looked at the remaining miscellaneous items, including a bed, table, stools, and so on. It was clear that Nan Xuanjing was also someone who valued enjoyment.

After scanning it with his Spiritual Sense and confirming that it was just ordinary spirit wood, Chen Mobai immediately set it on fire.

What's left are some Magic Artifact.

There were fragments of the Splendid Pearl that had been shattered by his Purple Lightning Sword, as well as Golden Halberd refined using the secret techniques of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace, ranging from first to Third Grade. These were probably intended as rewards for the disciples of the Nan Xuan Sect.

Chen Mobai selected one weapon each to keep as a collection, and put the rest away in a storage bag for miscellaneous items. He would take them to the Artifact Refining Department later to see whether it was better to melt them down or to enrich the sect's treasury.

In the end, all that was left were a dozen or so bottles of pills.

Chen Mobai has always kept his distance from the pills in the Sky River Realm, but the treasures of Core Formation Cultivator must be good stuff.

To avoid wasting food, and also out of curiosity, he called Zeng Woyou over.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, this is the Ink Blood Pill... this is the Orifice Origin Pill... this is..."

Zeng Woyou, as expected of the Minister of the Alchemy Department, opened and smelled each pill, and then described the name and effects of the pills. However, he was unsure about one black pill.

"This might be the Defeated Blood Essence Pill. After taking it, one can fully recover from injuries and even reach a higher level. It is Demon Path pill, not available on the market, and I have never seen it before, so I cannot confirm it."

After hearing this, Chen Mobai recalled his fight with Nan Xuanjing and agreed with Zeng Woyou's assessment, nodding in agreement.

"This... could it be... the Profound Heaven Black Gold Pill!"

Finally, Zeng Woyou looked at a dark gold pill the size of a thumb, his voice trembling slightly.

"Oh, is this elixir very famous?"

Chen Mobai asked, somewhat puzzled.

"This is the most famous elixir of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace. Whoever takes it can increase their lifespan by twenty years."

"Increase lifespan!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was greatly surprised.

This is what extends Xiantian; it's the most precious elixir even among the Immortal Sect. I never expected that Xuanxiao Dao Palace would possess such a miraculous elixir.

"Although the effect of this Profound Heaven Black Gold Pill weakens with each use, it is still hailed as the number one elixir of the Eastern Yi. It is thanks to this elixir that Old Ancestor Jin Feng has been able to survive to this day."

After hearing Zeng Woyou's words, Chen Mobai couldn't help but nod.

This is the most precious item in Nan Xuanjing's storage bag, but whether it can be consumed still needs to be checked by a professional.

As Chen Mobai pondered whether he should fly to Wangwu Cave Heaven to find Qing Nü himself or have Qing Nü come to Yumu City to find him when he returned at the end of the year, his Sky-Connecting Instrument suddenly rang.

Yue Zutao needed to see him.

After Zeng Woyou went down, Chen Mobai picked up the Sky-Connecting Instrument and, after learning what had happened, notified the Inner Cabinet to hold a meeting.

After sorting and processing the items in Nan Xuanjing's storage bag, Chen Mobai looked up again at the Longevity Wood where Zhou Shengqing was.

As the aura of the Nascent Formation grew increasingly magnificent, the spiritual energy of Giant Wood Ridge became increasingly uncontrollable.

This caused the sect cultivators who remained at Giant Wood Ridge to complain bitterly.

"Sect Leader, now even the Qi Cultivation Disciple dare not meditate and cultivate."

Chen Mobai listened to Yue Zutao's report and felt a bit of a headache.

The spiritual energy of Giant Wood Ridge was attracted by Zhou Shengqing Infant Transformation, and even he, Core Formation Cultivator, could only barely compete for it.

Foundation Establishment Cultivator are in a better position; they are wealthy and can absorb the spiritual energy from Spirit Stone to cultivate in a short period of time.

But it's different for Qi Cultivation Cultivator. Many disciples are already struggling financially, and they only use their Spirit Stone when it's crucial to break through their cultivation level.

Therefore, since they can no longer absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, the Qi Cultivation Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect have begun to complain.

Chen Mobai: "How many Qi Cultivation Disciple are there in the sect now?"

Yue Zutao: "There are 2,687 registered disciples, of which about 1,500 are in Giant Wood Ridge. Recently, many disciples have been taking on missions at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion in preparation for leaving."

The Divine Wood Sect is said to have three thousand Qi Refining, but it lost four or five hundred disciples in three consecutive wars. However, two years ago, it recruited one or two hundred people from the Six Nations to replenish its ranks.

When the Six Kingdoms Guardians left their sects, they each took with them about a hundred Qi Cultivation Disciple.

Besides those at the lower levels of Qi Refining, many of them are former disciples of the original lineage.

For example, the Qi Hou whom Chen Mobai knew went to the Yan Kingdom with E Yun.

After Foundation Establishment Failure more than twice, these people had already suffered losses in their Essence Blood energy. They were no match for the newly promoted disciples in the sect, and it was basically impossible for them to obtain the Foundation Establishment again. Therefore, they wanted to make one last gamble.

That is why those who remain in the Divine Wood Sect are the backbone and the future.

"Let's all share our thoughts and see what solutions we can come up with."

Chen Mobai sat upright in the Hall Master of the Divine Wood Hall, with Meng Hong, Mu Yuan, Yue Zutao Xi Jinghuo, Luo Xueer, Yan Jinye sitting on either side below him.

This can be considered the prototype of the Inner Cabinet. Today is also their first meeting to discuss how to solve the problem of Qi Cultivation Disciple being unable to meditate and absorb spiritual energy.

"Distribute Spirit Stone to everyone. Old Ancestor Zhou Nascent Formation will last for a maximum of two years. Each month, he will supplement the Qi Cultivation Disciple in Giant Wood Ridge with 5 Low-grade Spirit Stone, which is only a little over 10,000."

Xi Jinghuo spoke first, but Luo Xueer immediately shook her head in refusal. As the person in charge of the Reward Hall, she knew the current situation best.

Luo Xueer: "The three major battles have almost depleted the sect's Spirit Stone reserves. The remaining ones need to be reserved to prevent unforeseen circumstances. The Spirit Stone that were originally meant for the sect's salary now need to be replaced with Spirit Rice. We really don't have any extra Spirit Stone. If you're willing to write an IOU, I have no objection."

Yue Zutao: "These Spirit Stone are essential for the Qi Cultivation Disciple to cultivate in Giant Wood Ridge. If we have to issue IOUs again, I'm afraid the disciples' morale will really collapse."

Yan Jinye: "Then how about we distribute the pills?"

Although after Chen Mobai's teachings, the Qi Cultivation Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect who aspired to Foundation Establishment no longer consumed pills as recklessly as before, the price of such items remained high on the market, and they were still very popular among Rogue Cultivator and lower-level disciples.

Chen Mobai: "What insightful opinion does Junior Nephew Meng have?"

After everyone had spoken, Chen Mobai saw that Meng Hong remained calm and composed, so he turned to him and asked a question.

Meng Hong: "Reporting to the Sect Leader, distributing subsidies such as Spirit Stone and pills is absolutely unacceptable."

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to him. Chen Mobai smiled slightly, signaling him to continue.

"If we're going to distribute these Qi Cultivation Disciple within the sect. It's not the scarcity that's the problem, but the inequality. But if we do that, the disciples in Giant Wood Ridge will feel like they're being taken advantage of. Why should those outside the sect get the same benefits they suffer for within the sect? It's impossible to be fair."

After hearing Meng Hong's words, everyone looked enlightened.

As expected, experience matters; their understanding of issues is far more insightful and profound than others.

Chen Mobai: "Then, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

Meng Hong: "The best approach is to pretend we don't know anything. If any of the disciples dare to complain about this, they are being disloyal to the sect. We should send the Punishment Hall to arrest and suppress them!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.

Looking at Meng Hong, who spoke such ruthless words with a calm expression, Chen Mobai couldn't help but sigh that the Eastern Wasteland was indeed different from the Immortal Sect. Here, there was no need to consider things like public grievances; what they were best at was high-pressure rule.

Compared to Zhou Shengqing's Nascent Formation, even if all the Qi Cultivation Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect were to sacrifice themselves, it would probably be acceptable in Meng Hong's eyes.

Chen Mobai: "Do the others have any other opinions?"

Yue Zutao hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he still felt that Meng Hong's method was the most suitable for the current situation.

"How many tasks can be assigned within the sect?"

Seeing that they were not speaking, Chen Mobai asked another question.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, we can still arrange for another 300 disciples to go on routine missions such as patrolling the Branch Courtyard, harvesting from the Spirit Field and medicinal herbs, and raising spirit beasts."

Luo Xueer immediately answered, as all the Spirit Stone budgets for the Three Halls Twelve Departments each year were distributed through her, so she could make a rough estimate of them.

Chen Mobai: "What about Cloud Dream Marsh?"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.

As the number one treasure land in the Eastern Wasteland, Cloud Dream Marsh could probably withstand not only the Divine Wood Sect, but even if half of the Qi Cultivation Cultivator in the Eastern Wasteland poured in.

"Leave behind the people who can activate the Myriad Wood Great Formation, open up the task of hunting Demon Beast to the sect disciples, and send them to the market in Cloud Dream Marsh."

"We can also allocate some manpower to the Six Nations, such as the mining in the Yan Kingdom, the aquatic products in Yun Country, and the Spirit Fruit in Yu Country. We can have each country's garrison cooperate with them. This will also provide them with manpower, which is mutually beneficial."

"As for the remaining disciples in the sect, let the Array Department and the Spiritual Vein Department work together to designate an area and set up an Array Formation to calm the spiritual energy so that they can also cultivate normally."
