Yellow Springs Soil

After Zhou Shengqing moved into the Soul Nurturing Wood, the bonsai shone with a jade-like luster, as if it had been blessed.

"The soil in this pot should be Yellow Springs Soil, but in order to ensure that the Soul Nurturing Wood can be upgraded, I think it is better to find a place with heavy Yin energy to grow it."

Upon hearing Fu Zongjue's words, Chen Mobai reached out and pinched a bit of the dark yellow soil in the basin. A chilling aura instantly surged from his fingertips throughout his body.

However, Chen Mobai's Pure Yang Scroll is least afraid of these things.

The moment the Yin energy encountered the Pure Yang Spiritual Power, it melted away like ice and snow, turning into a wisp of black smoke that spilled from the fingertips.

"Lone Soul Ridge is not bad."

Zhou Shengqing took the initiative to speak. Although there are many places with heavy Yin energy in the Seven Kingdoms under the Divine Wood Sect, the most suitable one is undoubtedly the Void Stone Mine, which was discovered more than ten years ago.

The place was Daoist Feiming as the burial site. It was located in a remote part of the Yu Country. Zhou Shengqing had personally gone to investigate and found that the deeper one went, the heavier the yin energy became.

Later, in order to mine the Void Stone Mine, the Divine Wood Sect set up an Array Formation there to isolate Yin energy; otherwise, those mortals and Qi Cultivation Disciple simply could not withstand it.

"This Yellow Springs Soil is of the Fifth Order, which can nourish this Soul Nurturing Wood for ten or twenty years. Lone Soul Ridge can be considered as a backup site for transplantation, but it would be best to find the Yellow Springs Road, as that is the most suitable place."

Fu Zongjue spoke again, saying that Zhou Shengqing had just entered the Soul Nurturing Wood and would definitely need their care for a while.

"After our master sealed the Yellow Springs Road with us, the talisman he left behind should have fallen into Zhou Ye's hands."

At this moment, Mo Douguang suddenly spoke.

He was overjoyed that Zhou Shengqing had a chance to survive, or even rise to a higher level, and was now thinking about how he could help him.

"The Five Elements Sect..."

Hearing this, Chen Mobai and the others exchanged glances, knowing that if the Divine Wood Sect wanted to rise to a higher level, then they would have to find a way to move away from or take back this number one sect in the Eastern Wasteland.

Chen Mobai: "My apprentice is quite skilled in Spirit Plant plants. Could you please have her come and look after Senior Brother Zhou?"

The Five Elements Sect is the next target; right now, the most important thing is to take care of Zhou Shengqing, who is now only a spiritual vessel.

Although the Soul Nurturing Wood is mysterious, it is still Spirit Plant, and it needs to be upgraded in the future to be used to transform into Dharma Body Nascent Soul. Therefore, it still needs an excellent Spirit Planter.

"It must be your Junior Nephew Zhuo has truly mastered your teachings. She'll be working hard for quite some time now."

Although the Omniscient Connection was not publicized, Zhuo Ming's talent and skills in Spirit Plant were already well known to the upper echelons of the Divine Wood Sect.

However, most people believe that Chen Mobai is more skilled in the field of Spirit Plant, and that Zhuo Ming's achievements are due to the good teaching he received from his master.

"Then I'll bring her over later. Senior Brother Zhou, don't show your face. Just let her think that you're taking care of a precious Spirit Plant."

The fewer people who know about the Dharma Body Nascent Soul, the better. It's not that Chen Mobai doesn't trust Zhuo Ming, but she's still a bit naive. If she accidentally leaks it, it might trigger an even bigger war.

Even if the three major sects of Eastern Yi knew about the near- Fifth Order Soul Nurturing Wood, they would stop at nothing to seize it.

After all, Dharma Body Nascent Soul is still a Nascent Soul, and it can easily crush Core Formation Cultivator.

After explaining everything, Chen Mobai went out to take charge of the sect's affairs, and Fu Zongjue accompanied him. After all, this was the most turbulent time for the Divine Wood Sect, and it was better for the two of them to appear together.

Mo Douguang stayed behind to speak with Zhou Shengqing, who had transformed into a soul form.

"Senior Brother Zhou used a secret technique to kill the formidable enemy, but he himself was severely injured and needs a long period of seclusion to recuperate..."

Inside the Divine Wood Hall, Chen Mobai began to speak the prepared script.

To outsiders, Zhou Shengqing had already failed to Nascent Formation and was doomed to die.

But just now, he used the Reverse Longevity Technique to kill five Core Formation with overwhelming strength, and they were undoubtedly at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Chen Mobai's words were intended to confuse the opponent about whether Zhou Shengqing was dead or alive. After this great battle, it's likely that no Core Formation Cultivator would dare to come to Giant Wood Ridge to investigate the truth.

The truth is mixed with falsehood; the point is to make those with ulterior motives towards the Divine Wood Sect wary.

But one thing is certain: the corpses of the five Core Formation Cultivator will make the Divine Wood Sect a forbidden zone for all high-level cultivators for some time to come.

After hearing this, the Old Ancestor Jin Feng of the Eastern Yi Xuanxiao Dao Palace would probably be even more unwilling to come to the Eastern Wasteland.

In fact, some sect cultivators, led by Chu Zuoshu, had already guessed the truth about Zhou Shengqing's "death," but on the surface, they had to believe Chen Mobai's words and firmly believe that Zhou Shengqing was only seriously injured and in seclusion.

At least externally, and among the lower-level Qi Cultivation Disciple of the sect, this stance must be upheld.

The Divine Wood Sect still has three Core Formation Ancestors!

None of the people present were fools who directly asked Zhou Shengqing if he Nascent Soul Formation Success.

"The sect will operate as usual. Disciples who retreat during the war will have their crimes confirmed by the Punishment Hall, their cultivation will be sealed, and they will be sent to the three northern kingdoms to mine. Those who escape through the Teleportation Array will be issued arrest warrants, Punishment Hall will send people to hunt them down and kill them without exception."

The lands of Yan Divine Wood Sect, Hong Kingdom, Yan Kingdom Xiao Kingdom recently conquered, are barren and difficult to cultivate, but they are rich in Minerals. Qi Cultivation Cultivator are physically stronger than ordinary people, and with a little training, they are excellent at mining.

Upon hearing this, Quan Shanlin, the Deputy Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, Fu Zongjue and immediately went out to carry out the order with murderous intent.

The news that Zhou Shengqing had killed five Core Formation cultivators quickly spread throughout the Eastern Wasteland, astonishing and inspiring awe among all cultivators. Many even believed that Zhou Shengqing had Nascent Soul Formation Success.

When the Five Elements Sect, Returning Heaven Valley, and Blowing Snow Palace heard the news, their entire sects were shaken. Several Core Formation immediately inquired about it, and some even sent people to Giant Wood Ridge to offer their condolences and test the waters.

It was still the same three familiar faces. Chen Mobai only met Xue Ting once before sending Yue Zutao to deal with the other two.

"Ming'er, can you communicate with this Spirit Plant?"

After Chen Mobai finished dealing with the sect's affairs, he took Zhuo Ming to the location of the Soul Nurturing Wood. The latter nodded and went up to begin trying it.

"Wait, this Spirit Plant is a cold object from the Underworld. You take this mirror."

Seeing Zhuo Ming's recklessness, Chen Mobai immediately stopped her and placed the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror in her palm to prevent her from being harmed by the Yin energy of the Soul Nurturing Wood.

"Yes, Master."

Zhuo Ming took the mirror, walked over, closed her eyes, and reached out to touch a branch of the Soul Nurturing Wood. After a short while, she turned pale and let go.

If it weren't for the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, she would probably have already been invaded by Yin energy and suffered from Qi and Blood deficiency.

"The quality is too high, and it wasn't planted on the soil veins of Little South Mountain, so we can't communicate with it for the time being."

Zhuo Ming spoke the truth, Chen Mobai nodded; the outcome was within his expectations.

"The soil in this potted plant is Fifth Order Yellow Springs Soil. This high-grade Spirit Soil is very helpful for your Earth Mother Technique cultivation. Come and try to communicate with it when you have time in the future. I will use the Lamp Burning Technique to transfer a wisp of spiritual power into your body to ensure that you will be unharmed when you come into contact with it."

Chen Mobai asked Zhuo Ming for help not only because her Omniscient Connection Divine Ability could help the Soul Nurturing Wood advance, but also because Fifth Order Spirit Soil was extremely rare.

Within the Divine Tree Secret Realm, only Fourth Grade Longevity Earth can be obtained.

Zhuo Ming's cultivation of the Earth Mother Technique requires integrating the essence of countless Spirit Soil to obtain the Primordial Qi and nurture various Spirit Plant in the world.

This pot of Fifth Order Yellow Springs Soil was more precious to her than any elixir, medicine Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

"Thank you, Master."

After Chen Mobai transferred Pure Yang Spiritual Power into Zhuo Ming's body, he also cleansed away all the remaining cold energy in her body, making her round face rosy and her spirits refreshed.

"Junior Brother Chen, would you mind if I taught your disciple a lesson?"

After Zhuo Ming left, Zhou Shengqing's phantom emerged from the Soul Nurturing Wood and asked a question that surprised Chen Mobai.

"Ming'er's cultivation method is different from Senior Brother Zhou's, but I would be very grateful if Senior Brother were willing to give her some guidance."

Regardless, Zhou Shengqing is a great cultivator who has reached the Nascent Formation stage. Even if his teaching level is not as good as Chen Mobai's, his cultivation experience is definitely far superior. It is certainly a good thing that he is willing to teach Zhuo Ming.

"I am unable to move inside the Soul Nurturing Wood, and the days ahead will surely be lonely. Having a disciple to teach me will at least help pass the time."

Chen Mobai nodded and thanked Zhou Shengqing.

"Ming'er is a little slow and has a lot of questions. Senior Brother Zhou, please bear with her in the future."

After hearing this, Zhou Shengqing waved his hand and said that he would teach one person for the next hundred years, and even if the person was stupid, he could teach them to become a talent like Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu.

He was unaware that this was Chen Mobai's humble remark.

After staying for half a month and confirming that Zhou Shengqing's soul state had adapted, Mo Douguang also prepared to leave.

Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue personally escorted him to the Teleportation Array, carrying a potted plant of Soul Nurturing Wood.

At this moment, another piece of good news arrived.

It was sent by E Yun, the Yan Kingdom Guardian. He confirmed through his informant that Xuan Shu of the Nan Xuan Sect had not returned to Bao Se Mountain after escaping from Giant Wood Ridge.

In other words, the Nan Xuan Sect currently has no Core Formation.

"As we agreed before, we will gradually erode the market share of the Nan Xuan Sect. As long as we achieve results there, it will be perfectly legitimate for me to support him as the Sect Leader after I step down."

The message was delivered by Yu Lian, whom Chen Mobai trusted greatly. After giving him a few instructions, Chen Mobai even wrote a letter for him to deliver to E Yun.

"When Xuan Shu escaped, he was severely injured by my Longevity True Qi. It would be very troublesome to suppress and drive him away with his cultivation level. He should go back to the Xuanxiao Dao Palace to ask Old Ancestor Jin Feng for help."

After hearing about this, Zhou Shengqing gave his thoughts.

After using the Reverse Longevity Technique, his strength was so great that he was not afraid of even the Old Ancestor Jin Feng. Although Xuan Shu escaped from his grasp, he still could not get away unscathed.

Longevity True Qi Spell Duel is not good for fighting, but its aftereffects are long-lasting. Moreover, at that time, it was at the Fourth Grade level. With Xuan Shu's cultivation level, without Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it is most likely that he would leave the Eastern Wasteland to heal his injuries first. "Let him live for a while longer. After my cultivation breaks through, I will kill him."

Chen Mobai spoke calmly, which Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue found perfectly reasonable; at the same level, Sword Cultivator were invincible.

Moreover, this is Chen Mobai, a peerless sword genius.

"Junior Nephew Zeng has examined them. Those three pills are indeed Blood Spirit Pill. I wonder where a mere Rogue Cultivator obtained such precious pills."

After speaking of Xuan Shu, Fu Zongjue took out the pills that Zhou Shengqing had obtained from killing enemies.

This Blood Spirit Pill is used by Core Formation Cultivator in the Sky River Realm to break through bottlenecks; it's essentially an upgraded version of the Greater Barrier Breaking Pill from the Immortal Sect.

Although Chen Mobai does not advocate taking pills when improving one's cultivation level, he feels that it is still possible to take pills as an aid when breaking through obstacles.

Fu Zongjue had been stuck at the peak of the early Core Formation for decades, so the Blood Spirit Pill was perfect for him.

"Senior Brother Fu, you can take them all and don't need to save any for me."

Chen Mobai generously gave all three Blood Spirit Pill to Fu Zongjue. Although he had the Lamp Burning Technique to neutralize the Pill Toxin, it was better not to take any pills from the Sky River Realm if possible.

Fu Zongjue didn't stand on ceremony; the Divine Wood Sect needed him to step up.

Whether it was due to pressure or because he had reached a certain level, Fu Zongjue successfully broke through to the Core Formation Middle Stage after consuming only one Blood Spirit Pill.

After consolidating his cultivation level, he emerged from seclusion full of vigor and high spirits.

"Junior Brother Chen, I don't need these two Blood Spirit Pill anymore, you can have them."

Blood Spirit Pill are very useful for overcoming bottlenecks from the early to mid-stages, but almost useless for those from the mid to late stages. Therefore, after Fu Zongjue broke through, he gave the rest to Chen Mobai.

Chen Mobai did not refuse and accepted it first, planning to have Qing Nü help him identify it later.

"Sect Leader, I have decided to go to Golden Crow Immortal City."

On this day, Chu Zuoshu came to pay his respects and explained his choice.

Just like when Chen Mobai Core Formation, Fu Zongjue and Zhou Shengqing intended for him to go to Golden Crow Immortal City, keeping a low profile while also seeing if he could open up a channel for the sect there.

"Okay, take these with you. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, go find a rogue Core Formation named Hu Yanzhenglai the Rogue Cultivator stage. He and I are on good terms."

As Fu Zongjue spoke, he took out a token and gave it to Chu Zuoshu.

"Wasn't it said that the Primordial Ancestor and the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Sun Bathing Sea had a good relationship? Why didn't they pay their respects to him when they went to Golden Crow Immortal City?"

After Chu Zuoshu left, Chen Mobai asked with some surprise.

"He and Master are friends, but we are not Master, just his disciples, and only at the Core Formation stage."

"Besides, it is Zhou Ye who will inherit the Legacy of our master. We have rebelled. We should be lucky if we don't get a scolding from the Old Ancestor Bai Wu when we go to see him."

Zhou Shengqing's words made Chen Mobai understand something once again.

Only by becoming strong can one be truly strong.
