The Order of Cultivation

The three points Chen Mobai mentioned were quickly put into practice.

He was subtly changing the atmosphere of the Divine Wood Sect in his own way.

After receiving a positive response from the sect's higher-ups, the Qi Cultivation Disciple within the Divine Wood Sect, who had previously harbored some resentment and unease, were all relieved.

Whether to go out on missions or stay within the sect, there are choices available.

However, the Array Formation and area that create the tranquil spiritual energy will take some time to complete, so most disciples chose to accept the numerous tasks offered by the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.

"Thank you, Master!"

At Little South Mountain, Zhuo Ming was overjoyed to receive the complete set of Talisman Brush that Chen Mobai had given him.

Besides the two Main Talisman Brush, the "Heavenly Script Talisman Brush Set" that he bought from the Immortal Sect was also included. With Chen Mobai's current wealth, the Merit Points of buying a new set was just a drop in the ocean for him.

Before Zhuo Ming had even Foundation Establishment, he often served Chen Mobai by grinding ink and spreading out paper, watching him Talisman Making. He had long admired this set of fully functional Talisman Brush.

Even in her dreams, she wondered if her master would pass this set of Talisman Brush on to her in the future.

After all, she was the only Talisman Master in the Little South Mountain Lineage.

Now that the book has actually been passed down to her, Zhuo Ming still feels a dreamlike, blissful sense of happiness, as if her dream has come true.

At that moment, she felt that she had taken over Chen Mobai's Legacy and truly inherited her master's two most outstanding skills.

Indeed, I am most like my master.

Thinking this, Zhuo Ming's lips curled up slightly; she couldn't be happier.

At this moment, a refreshing fragrance wafted from the mountainside. Even Chen Mobai, a Core Formation Cultivator, felt refreshed and invigorated by the scent.

"Master, that Enlightenment White Tea has reached the Second Grade. It seems that it knew you were coming today and specially chose today to successfully transform."

Zhuo Ming stood on the ground and instantly understood the reason. Her eyes flickered, and she uttered a pleasant remark.

"Haha, what a coincidence! Let's go take a look."

Chen Mobai placed great hopes on this Enlightenment White Tea, after all, this Tea Seed was cultivated by Wenren Xuewei over decades in order to restore the efficacy of "Enlightenment Tea".

According to her, once this Tea Seed reaches the Third Grade, it has one-tenth the effects of the Enlightenment Tea.

The key is that once this Tea Seed matures, tea leaves can be harvested every year. For someone like Chen Mobai, whose comprehension is average, this is crucial to whether he can make further progress in the future.

The master and apprentice arrived at the location of the Enlightenment White Tea. Zhuo Ming picked a handful of tender buds on the spot, and Chen Mobai personally stir-fried them with Pure Yang Fire.

This Pure Yang Fire, when not used against Demonic Beings, is the most neutral and peaceful true fire, making it perfect for frying tea leaves. The flat, smooth sheet, like green jade, perfectly locks in the aroma and flavor.

After boiling another pot of spring water, I put the tea leaves in and steeped them. The light green tea soup was refreshing and soothing to the throat, and all the worries and troubles in my heart were washed away with this cup of tea.

Chen Mobai closed his eyes to think, and after about an incense stick's time, he opened his clear eyes and a smile appeared on his lips.

This Second Grade tea has about one percent of the effects of the Enlightenment Tea.

Thanks to the effects of the tea he had just drunk, he had figured out a difficult point in a Third Tier Talisman.

Seeing how useful it was, Chen Mobai naturally didn't stand on ceremony and directly picked all the tea leaves from the newly upgraded Enlightenment White Tea plant.

Unfortunately, even so, it would only be enough for him for ten days at most.

"Ming'er, your talent in Spirit Plant is unparalleled. If you concentrate on this path, your future achievements will be limitless. You can use the Talisman path to pass the time when you have free time, but remember not to be too distracted by it."

Before leaving, Chen Mobai regretted giving Zhuo Ming the set of Talisman Brush he had used during his Foundation Establishment period. Only by devoting himself wholeheartedly to Spirit Plant could he create the greatest value.

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely inherit all your Legacy. No matter how hard or tiring it is, I will make progress in both Spirit Plant and Talisman. I will not let you down."

Zhuo Ming misunderstood, thinking that Chen Mobai was worried about her lack of talent in Talisman. She hugged the Talisman Brush tightly and said with a determined look.

"Okay then, you go ahead with your work."

Chen Mobai's lips twitched slightly, and he didn't say anything more. After leaving the remaining half pot of tea for Zhuo Ming, he returned to his Longevity Wood Dao Field.

Yue Zutao is a very capable person.

During the decades his cultivation was suppressed, he studied astronomy, geography, Spirit Plant, elixirs, weapon Artifact Refining, and more, becoming almost a polymath. In the three major battles against the Nan Xuan Sect at the Mountain Shaking Peak Han, he also proved his ability to lead troops, manage markets, and even rule a country.

With his wholehearted assistance, Chen Mobai, as the Sect Leader, only needed to make decisions at crucial moments, while Yue Zutao would handle all the other trivial matters.

Even so, Chen Mobai still felt that he didn't have enough time.

After Core Formation, besides meditating and cultivating his spiritual power, he also needs time to develop his Pure Yang Dharma Body, Falling Treasure Golden Light, Longevity Dao Body, and even the Crimson Flame Sword Art and various Third Tier Talisman.

Fortunately, he still has more than 500 years of lifespan left; otherwise, he really felt that he might not be able to cultivate all of these things to perfection.

However, in order to avoid affecting his cultivation progress, Chen Mobai still prioritized these matters.

The Pure Yang Scroll is naturally ranked first! This is his fundamental cultivation technique, and it is also the basis for his ability to Nascent Formation or even a Deity Transformation! Therefore, the Pure Yang Dharma Body is also very important. Since switching to this cultivation technique, Chen Mobai has not wasted a single day refining Spirit Stone to improve.

The Seven Yang Body requires the refinement of nine High-grade Spirit Stone, and he has already refined two so far.

According to his estimate, it would take about another year and a half to refine the third piece, and the Fire Spiritual Root would be able to improve again.

Aside from the Pure Yang Scroll and the Pure Yang Dharma Body, Chen Mobai originally placed the Crimson Flame Sword Art second.

After all, he still needed this to conceal his true origins in the Eastern Wasteland, and this sword technique seemed to be very suitable for him.

After Core Formation, Chen Mobai's Fire Spirit Body advanced further, and his Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root was also activated.

If the former Burning Heaven Pure Land masters saw his current aptitude, they would snatch him back to Dao Son.

There is no better talent than his in Fire Attribute techniques.

Therefore, after reading the Crimson Flame Sword Art several times, Chen Mobai easily grasped all its essence.

Whether he used the Flame Sun Slash or the Extreme Sun Slash, the most correct way to control and execute it had already appeared in his mind.

It's just that he hasn't yet sublimated the Azure Flame Sword Sha Fiend into "Golden Flame," and his skill level isn't high enough, so he can't use it yet.

However, the condensation and sublimation of this Golden Flame requires a lot of hard work and time! According to the Crimson Flame Sword Art Manual, a person with exceptional talent can obtain a Golden Flame in ten years by using Pill Fire and spiritual power to condense it.

Chen Mobai felt that this was a huge waste of time.

He would rather use that time to cultivate the Longevity Dao Body or the Falling Treasure Golden Light.

After all, the Golden Flame didn't offer him much of an improvement; it was only useful for Spell Duel and overlapped with the Purple Lightning Sword.

Moreover, even if one were to master it, its power would probably be less than that of the Purple Lightning Sword!

Fortunately, he had just taken over as Sect Leader not long ago and hadn't had time to waste on the Crimson Flame Sword Art. Now that he had opened Nan Xuanjing's Storage Bag and obtained so many Gold Crystal, he could shift that time to the Falling Treasure Golden Light.

According to his estimation, after mastering the Seven Yang Body, he should be able to cultivate this secret technique to the third level.

What remains is the Longevity Dao Body.

To continue practicing this Body Tempering Technique, one needs to use "Longevity Dew," a concoction made from the Longevity Tree Sap.

This was a pill formula that Luo Yixuan obtained from the Talent Tree.

Chen Mobai had already handed the pill formula over to Zeng Woyou to study, and also asked him to prepare the other Auxiliary Medicine in preparation for starting the furnace.

Fortunately, Gu Yan offered up the secret technique for extracting the Longevity Tree Sap; otherwise, Chen Mobai would probably have given up on achieving the Longevity Dao Body.

Just then, a text message suddenly appeared in the Sky-Connecting Instrument.

It is the Chu Zuoshu.

He subtly indicated that he had already finished refining the Longevity Tree Sap bestowed by Old Ancestor Chen.

After seeing this, Chen Mobai had no choice but to take action again. He spent a whole day extracting ten drops of the Longevity Tree Sap and sealing them in a White Jade Bottle.

The next day, Chu Zuoshu came over in person.

After he stepped down Sect Leader, his complexion improved significantly. After refining the Longevity Tree Sap, his skin began to become fair, making him appear several years younger.

After receiving the White Jade Bottle, Chu Zuoshu expressed his deepest gratitude.

Since it was unknown to what extent Chu Core Formation could cultivate his Wood Spirit Body before Chu Zuoshu, Chen Mobai asked him to let him know each time he used up the Longevity Tree Sap, so that he could be provided with enough resources.

After all, with his Core Formation level, the ten drops he extracts each day are enough to Chu Zuoshu and refine for more than half a year.

However, if Zeng Woyou were to cultivate the Longevity Dao Body in the future and need to continuously refine the Longevity Dew, then no matter how much Longevity Tree Sap he produced, it would not be enough.

The thought of extracting the Longevity Tree Sap day after day, year after year, made Chen Mobai feel that he, the Core Formation Ancestor and the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood, was working too hard.

"No, I need to leverage my position to find someone to replace me."

In the blink of an eye, Chen Mobai thought of someone.

He immediately used the Sky-Connecting Instrument to notify Zhuo Ming, and soon she arrived with another close friend of hers.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

After the Spiritual Water Gu Yan entered, she Chen Mobai with a hint of trepidation.

"Junior Nephew Gu, I need your help with something. Consider it a task I'm assigning you personally..."

Chen Mobai spoke to Gu Yan in a friendly manner about his plans and asked her to help extract the Longevity Tree Sap.

She obtained this secret technique from the Talent Tree, and she also cultivates Water Attribute technique. Even if it is not as efficient as his, Core Formation Cultivator, she is definitely the most suitable candidate among the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect.

"I am deeply grateful for the kindness shown to me by the Sect Leader, and I am very willing to accept it."

Gu Yan nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

This was an incredible opportunity for her; not just anyone in the sect could get so close to Core Formation Ancestor.

Moreover, after obtaining this secret technique, she was like a skilled cook without rice, since the Divine Wood Sect only had three Longevity Wood.

Gu Yan had already decided that she should perform well so that she might be noticed by Old Ancestor Chen and taken in as a disciple of Little South Mountain. At that time, she would be the esteemed Patriarch's personal disciple.

With this in mind, Gu Yan would come to Chen Mobai's Longevity Wood Dao Field whenever she had time.

However, her cultivation level was only at the Foundation Establishment, so the extraction efficiency was not high.

Even with Chen Mobai's guidance, she could only extract one drop per day at most.

But with her help, Chen Mobai was able to put this matter aside and have more time to cultivate and comprehend other things.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zeng Woyou once attempted to refine the Longevity Dew, but unfortunately, it was Ancient Pill Formula and differed somewhat from the current Alchemy system, so he failed.

Although Chen Mobai was disappointed, he was prepared for this and had Gu Yan continue to extract the Longevity Tree Sap to work with Zeng Woyou to refine the second batch of Longevity Dew.

That day, he led Yue Zutao on a tour of the three tranquil spiritual energy cultivation sites set up by the Array Department and the Spiritual Vein Department in Giant Wood Ridge.

Originally, there was only one area, but Chen Mobai planned it out according to the Cultivation Room of the Immortal Sect, so that each Qi Cultivation Disciple could cultivate here for free for one hour every day.

However, after many disciples returned from completing their missions, one area was no longer enough.

In addition to these three areas, a fourth Second Grade spiritual energy cultivation area is under construction, which will be dedicated to those in the Late Qi Cultivation.

Each area is divided into one hundred Cultivation Room, which will ensure that everyone can have their turn every day.

"Sect Leader, could you also designate areas for Third Grade- or even Fourth Grade spiritual energy?"

Seeing how good the benefits were for Qi Cultivation Disciple, some Foundation Establishment Cultivator couldn't sit still and raised their opinions at a sect meeting.

Chen Mobai stated that this was part of the plan, as the distribution of Spirit Vein energy in the Giant Wood Ridge was too scattered. He intended to reorganize it after Zhou Shengqing finished forming his Nascent Formation.

Ideally, it should be like the Immortal Sect, where all spiritual energy transmission is controlled by the sect. Each cultivation level should receive spiritual energy of a corresponding grade, and if a higher grade is desired, Sect Contribution or Spirit Stone should be used to obtain it.

However, these things definitely need to be done gradually, and Chen Mobai was not in a hurry.

After the meeting, he went to see Fu Zongjue and Mo Douguang. Zhou Shengqing was absorbing more and more spiritual energy, and he would probably Nascent Formation Soul in the next two or three months.

Especially at times like these, we must not let our guard down.

Chen Mobai immediately ordered the Array Department to ensure that the Myriad Wood Great Formation was in a state of readiness, and then instructed the guards of various countries to keep a close eye on the major sects in their vicinity.

Whether it's Xuan Shu of the Nan Xuan Sect, Yan Shaoyin of the Returning Heaven Valley, or Kong Lingling of the Blowing Snow Palace.

Even the Five Elements Sect was instructed to keep a close eye on Hong He.

On this day, above Giant Wood Ridge, drops of crystal-clear Spiritual Dew, radiating light, gently fell upon the tallest Longevity Wood, causing an unprecedentedly vast aura to rise...
