The Secret of Flower Blooming Courtyard

"It's probably not going to be easy for you to save his life."

As the Venerable Water Immortal spoke, he also brought out Gongsun Jielü by the Flower Blooming Courtyard Master Sealed Town the Northern Darkness Domain.

"True Person Yu has been kind to me, and after all, he is a teacher employed by our Wuqi Dao Academy, so I should do my best to help him."

If it were anyone else, given that Yu Tianguang was certain that the Divine Seed the Divine Imperial Pavilion Master was the host, they would have been quick to distance themselves and prove their innocence.

But Chen Mobai had no such concerns, because he had killed the Flower Blooming Courtyard Master.

This is enough to prove his loyalty to the Immortal Sect.

That is why he spoke with a clear conscience.

"You seem like a kind and loyal little fellow, so I'll lend you a hand."

The more Venerable Water Immortal looked at Chen Mobai, the happier she became. She felt that this junior's values and beliefs were perfectly aligned with hers, and his cultivation was not weak either. He was very likely to be at the same level as her in the future. Thinking about what she had to do, she couldn't help but do Chen Mobai a favor again.

She took out her phone and dialed a number.

[Hello!]

After the call connected, Chen Mobai heard a familiar voice because Venerable Water Immortal had put the call on speakerphone.

He is the principal of their Wuqi Dao Academy, Venerable Cheng Xuan.

Venerable Water Immortal: [Things here are settled. Shi Qing was killed by the little guy from your Dao Academy, but Yu Tianguang is also a parasite of the Divine Imperial Pavilion Master. I spared his life for your sake.]

Venerable Cheng Xuan, seemingly pondering whether it was better for Yu Tianguang to be dead or alive. After a long pause, he finally uttered two words: "Thank you."

Venerable Water Immortal: [Gongsun has been tricked by the Flower Blooming Courtyard Master. To avoid any potential problems, I plan to take her to find the Sanjue. Should I bring Yu Tianguang along as well? His vital energy has been drained by the Divine Imperial Pavilion Master. If he doesn't receive treatment soon, he probably won't live more than six months.]

Venerable Cheng Xuan: [Then I'll trouble you. I'll also inform Sanjue about this matter first.]

After exchanging a few words, the two had already settled the matter.

The matter of rescuing Yu Tianguang was handled by Venerable Cheng Xuan, who cleared Chen Mobai of any wrongdoing.

Chen Mobai was very pleased with this.

After all, if he were to run for the position of Three Great Hall Lords in the future, Yu Tianguang's situation could become a potential problem.

"Thank you, Venerable Master."

Chen Mobai bowed gratefully to the Venerable Water Immortal.

"I'll leave this place to you. I'll be going now."

After placing a seal on the Jade Wutong Tree, Venerable Water Immortal left with Gongsun Jielü and Yu Tianguang, who had been Sealed Town away.

Although Chen Mobai was Councilor of the Opening the Origin Hall, he was only nominally able to control the Immortal Sect system in Yumu City. Moreover, he had no experience in handling matters related to the immortal Immortal Sect and was completely clueless about it.

So, in the end, it was Lan Haitan who tirelessly brought it to a close.

Because Shi Qing was a member of the Ascension Cult and Yu Tianguang was also parasitized, the personnel within the Immortal Sect system in Vermilion Cloud City were no longer trusted. After obtaining authorization from the Venerable Water Immortal, Lan Haitan directly mobilized the Enforcement Department personnel from Wangwu Cave Heaven.

Two Golden Core Immortal Sect cultivators were stationed at the Two Great Academies in Vermilion Cloud City. Countless immortal cultivators graduated from their ranks, spreading to almost every department in Vermilion Cloud City, and even reaching several neighboring Blessed Land cities and the Great Cave Heaven.

For example, Wu Shangru, the former legal representative of the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory, graduated from the Foundation Establishment at the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy and later, through hard work and struggle, transferred his household registration to Huayang Cave Heaven.

However, after Shi Qing and Yu Tianguang were exposed, Wu Shangru immediately received a notice from the Immortal Sect, asking him to go to the local Enforcement Department in Huayang Cave Heaven to cooperate with the investigation.

Apart from him, every student who graduated during this period was put on the Immortal Sect's review list.

These people will be observed and scrutinized by various departments of the Immortal Sect for some time to come.

Lan Haitan handled all these troublesome matters single-handedly.

Chen Mobai was required to stay in the Danxia Mountain Range during this period and guard the Jade Wutong Tree.

This Spirit Plant has been sealed by the Venerable Water Immortal, and for the time being, it can only absorb basic spiritual energy to survive, in order to prevent it from rioting due to the death of the Flower Blooming Courtyard Master.

However, this seal cannot last too long. After all, the Jade Wutong is Fourth Tier High-grade, and its inherent spiritual power is even greater than that of the Water Immortal. Moreover, it is closely related to the Fire Vein of Vermilion Cloud City. If it is to be completely sealed, the Immortal Sect Forestry Bureau will need to take the lead in developing a special plan in conjunction with various departments such as land, Array Formation, and Celestial Phenomena.

Moreover, at the very least, it requires a Nascent Soul cultivator who is proficient in Array Formation and Spirit Plant to preside over it.

However, none of the qualified Nascent Soul cultivators seemed willing to get involved in this mess.

Therefore, the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect Three Great Halls were still in a meeting, and Lan Haitan asked Chen Mobai to keep watch until the results came out.

Given Chen Mobai's timid nature, he was naturally not too happy about this.

But since he's already gotten involved, and if Lan Haitan were to request a Golden Core True Person from the Immortal Sect Upper Echelon to guard the Jade Wutong Tree, the Opening the Origin Hall Committee would likely issue an order for him to carry out the task.

After this battle, Chen Mobai and Lan Haitan became Life and Death Friend. The latter also revealed that if he was unwilling, he could refuse on the grounds that he was injured in the fight with the Flower Blooming Courtyard Master.

But Vermilion Cloud City is, after all, Chen Mobai's hometown, and at this turbulent time, he felt he still needed to stand up and take responsibility.

So, after giving some instructions to Yumu City, Chen Mobai calmly and resolutely took up his post at the highest peak of the Danxia Mountain Range.

During this time, Qin Baipeng, the City Lord of Vermilion Cloud City, came several times, wanting Chen Mobai to save him.

Lan Haitan has taken control of all the Immortal Sect in Vermilion Cloud City and has begun a thorough purge and screening from top to bottom. Key personnel from several departments have been taken away by the Enforcement Department for investigation.

The relocation of the radish brought up the mud, and soon Qin Baipeng was also asked to go and cooperate with the investigation.

Chen Mobai could only assure Qin Baipeng that as long as he had nothing to do with the Ascension Cult, he would be safe and sound.

After Qin Baipeng, representatives from the Crimson Cloud Academy and Vermillion Cinnabar Academy also came to visit.

"Councilor Chen, many teachers have been taken away for investigation, and many classes have had to be suspended. Students are living in fear..."

"The teachers can all make Dao Heart Oath, so they are definitely not related to the Ascension Cult. Could Councilor Chen step forward and communicate with the Enforcement Department?"

"At least ensure that students can continue their classes as usual..."

After listening to the requests from the Two Great Academies, Chen Mobai spoke with Lan Haitan, who was very accommodating and sent all the teachers back except for a few key figures.

Lin Yin was in charge of this matter, but she had another matter to attend to when she arrived.

"What is this for?"

Chen Mobai watched Lin Yin carrying transparent glass tubes, going in and out of the wooden house where Shi Qing had been in seclusion for a long time under the Jade Wutong Tree, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This is Spirit Sealing Tube, which can extract traces of residual spiritual energy and other energy from the air, thereby determining who has had more contact with Shi Qing."

The answer came from Qing Nü, explaining that this was something developed by their Sky Mending Group Two.

Lin Yin demonstrated her technique in front of Chen Mobai, and soon a stream of cyan light was generated from the void and poured into the glass tube in her hand.

Chen Mobai: "Is it really that amazing?"

Qing Nü: "We can only extract data from the most recent year. Data from before has long since disappeared. It's just routine. I doubt Team Leader Lin intends to find any crucial clues from this."

During this time, Qing Nü stayed by his side. Chen Mobai was stationed at the mountain peak, while she was in a wooden house halfway up the mountain.

Although Lan Haitan was short-handed, it seemed as if he had forgotten about Qing Nü in the Sky Mending Group.

Lin Yin quickly finished his work.

The four glass tubes in her hand all extracted the same cyan energy.

"This is Shi Qing's spiritual power; there are no other gains."

Lin Yin shook her head regretfully, but this was something she had expected. As she spoke, she took out a Talisman and stuck it on the glass tube.

"What is this?"

Chen Mobai pointed to the Talisman and asked.

"The Spirit Condensing Talisman, when used in conjunction with the Spirit Sealing Tube, can solidify the extracted spiritual energy and prevent it from dissipating. Although the Flower Blooming Courtyard Master is dead, her spiritual energy has high research value. Venerable Yuanxu specifically called to ask us to collect it and send it over."

Lin Yin did not hide anything from Chen Mobai.

After this outstanding performance, Chen Mobai's level of trust among the Immortal Sect Upper Echelon is no lower than that of Lan Haitan, and he is now qualified to know many things.

"Oh, aren't there corpses? Wouldn't it be more convenient and faster to just extract it from the corpses?"

Chen Mobai asked with some curiosity, "Although the spiritual power in a cultivator's body will slowly dissipate after death, with the technology of the Immortal Sect, it is definitely possible to extract enough."

"The body of the Flower Blooming Courtyard Master was taken by the Venerable Water Immortal and given to the Venerable Sanjue. The Venerable Yuanxu mainly wanted to study this Jade Wutong."

Lin Yin didn't dare to say much, but following Lan Haitan's instructions, he subtly hinted at something to Chen Mobai.

"I see. Are four tubes enough? Should we collect a few more?"

Since Chen Mobai was unaware of the Nine-Colored Immortal Flower, he didn't understand the hint and instead became concerned about the instructions given by Venerable Yuanxu.

"That's enough. The document only requires us to collect three tubes. I've already extracted one more. We also need to collect a branch of the Jade Wutong later. I need Councilor Chen's help."

After listening to Lin Yin's words, Chen Mobai nodded, then used the Sealing Art Water Immortal had taught him to suppress the Jade Wutong, and personally used the Purple Lightning Sword to cut off a branch.

After watching Lin Yin leave, Chen Mobai suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at the Jade Wutong Tree standing on the mountaintop, and seemed to be deep in thought.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing his expression, Qing Nü asked curiously.

"How long can the Spirit Sealing Tube and the Spirit Condensing Talisman solidify and retain the spiritual energy within them?"

During his studies at the Sky Mending Dao Academy, Chen Mobai had accompanied Yan Bingxuan to more than a dozen classes on the Vital Energy Department. He was very familiar with the basics of Venerable Yuanxu's theoretical system and suddenly came up with a way to greatly increase his combat power in a short period of time.

"If one is willing to use the Spirit Condensing Talisman continuously, theoretically it can be used Infinity. This is how the Ancestor Yuanyang preserved his Pure Yang Qi."

Although Qing Nü was from the Sky Mending Group Four, she was very familiar with this Spirit Sealing Tube and Spirit Condensing Talisman. After all, many times, it was necessary for the people from the Group Four to deal with corpses and extract the residual spiritual energy.

Chen Mobai: "Can the Spirit Sealing Tube seal spiritual energy of any quality?"

Qing Nü: "No, it depends on the quality of the energy you need to seal. For example, explosive lightning or sharp sword energy, you need to make a special Spirit Sealing Tube."

Chen Mobai: "What if it's a flame, like the ' Great Sun Heavenly Solar Fire ' of us Pure Yang Scroll cultivators?"

Qing Nü: "Then we need Ceramic Tube made of Spirit Soil, which have better heat insulation properties and will not crack when fired at high temperatures by real fire."

Chen Mobai asked some more detailed questions, which Qing Nü answered without reservation.

Soon it got dark, and the two reluctantly said goodbye.

After Qing Nü left the mountaintop, Chen Mobai sat down when he looked up at the sky with some surprise.

Lan Haitan's figure flew in from a distance and slowly landed.

"Brother Chen, thank you for your hard work these past few days."

"No, I'm just staying here. It's you who are really working hard to clean up the mess."

Chen Mobai felt that Lan Haitan had deliberately waited until Qing Nü left before coming over, so he invited him to sit down and boil water for tea.

"The latest notification from above is that Peach Blossom Venerable will soon be bringing people from the Goumang Dao Academy and the Immortal Affairs Hall to deal with this Jade Wutong."

Chen Mobai had expected Lan Haitan's news.

Among the Immortal Sect, the one with the best Spirit Plant is Peach Blossom Venerable, after all, his background is exceptional.

"Then I can finally be considered free."

Chen Mobai said with a smile, "Although I sit here every day and have Fourth Tier Spiritual Vein energy to cultivate with, which is considered the best treatment in the Immortal Sect, the spiritual energy here is still inferior to that of Giant Wood Ridge."

Moreover, being confined here makes many things difficult to do.

"The World Gate Administration opened the Realm Domain of the Flower Blooming Courtyard Master and found various things she had prepared to perform a Forbidden Technique."

Lan Haitan suddenly brought up something else. Chen Mobai picked up a teacup, poured him a cup, and then listened attentively.

"What exactly this Forbidden Technique is is still unknown, but it is known to be related to this Jade Wutong Tree, and it is very likely to involve the core inheritance of the Ancient Evil Dao Tradition of Flower Blooming Courtyard."

The Flower Blooming Courtyard Master two thousand years ago was the leader of the Ancient Evil Dao Tradition. His cultivation and status were similar to that of the Ascended Immortal Sect Ascension Cult Leader today. Although the records of this lineage in the immortal sects are vague, Lan Haitan knew that this person was also at the Nascent Soul level.

His ability to become a god was due to his use of the World Opening War the Immortal Sect, allowing him to infiltrate Other World.

Although when the Flower Blooming Courtyard Master was about to become a Nascent Soul cultivator, his aura was leaked, and he was discovered and besieged by the natives of the Other World. After barely escaping, he was chased down by the Immortal Sect Soul cultivators of the immortal sects and eventually died.

However, the secret of his transformation into a deity has always been pursued by the Immortal Sect Upper Echelon.

Upon hearing Lan Haitan's words, Chen Mobai understood his meaning.
