Traveling Party

"Junior brother, your Flame Sun Slash is incredibly powerful!"

Above the Longevity Wood, Fu Zongjue shocked, summoned back the charred Golden Sun Puppet that was suspended in mid-air.

Although the Puppetry itself did not suffer any substantial damage, the Third Grade Divine Wood Shield it was wielding had developed a deep, visible sword mark, which had damaged its very essence. Even if it were repaired, it would still drop in rank.

"I just mastered it, and I couldn't quite control its power, which caused my senior brother to lose a Magic Artifact."

As Chen Mobai spoke somewhat apologetically, he condensed a streak of golden flames into his palm.

"It's just a single Divine Wood Shield. I have three more spares in my storage bag, so it won't be a problem."

Fu Zongjue didn't care at all. He skillfully removed the nearly cracked Divine Wood Shield from the right hand of his Golden Sun Puppet and replaced it with an identical one.

The Divine Wood Sect may not have much else, but it has a lot of Wood Attribute spiritual materials.

As the sect's Core Formation Ancestor, he also has the right to use all the sect's high-level materials.

Fu Zongjue mined a lot of Golden Sun Spirit Tree to make his own Third Grade Puppetry. He even cut some branches from his own Fourth-Grade Longevity Wood and used them in the core of the Puppetry.

These Puppetry are used for combat, so naturally they need to be equipped with Magic Artifact such as wooden armor, Wooden Sword, and wooden shields.

All of these were made by the sect's weapon -Artifact Refining Department using high-grade Third Grade Golden Sun Spirit Wood. Even if the Artifact Refining level was not high, the quality of the materials alone was already at the Third Grade.

Aside from some easily damaged parts of the Puppetry, Fu Zongjue's storage bag contained only these Third Grade Wood Attribute Magic Artifact.

Therefore, Fu Zongjue didn't feel any heartache after losing one side.

The power of the Flame Sun Slash was a bit beyond expectations. After penetrating the Divine Wood Shield, even though Chen Mobai controlled it, some of the fire energy still seeped into the Golden Sun Puppet.

If the Golden Sun Spirit Wood hadn't undergone the tempering of the Azure Sun Fire during its transformation, thus possessing inherent fire resistance, it probably wouldn't just be charred black on the surface after Flame Sun Slash; it would have been burning fiercely.

While Fu Zongjue polishing the surface of the Puppetry, Chen Mobai took the one that had replaced the Divine Wood Shield for observation.

He reached out and touched the deep sword mark left by the Flame Sun Slash. The scorching heat still lingered in it. If it weren't for his Fire Spirit Body, any other Foundation Establishment Cultivator would probably have had their fingertips melt the moment they touched it.

"With the cultivation level of the early stage of Core Formation, he has mastered the Crimson Flame Sword Art. Junior Brother's talent in swordsmanship is indeed worthy of being the number one in the Eastern Wasteland."

Fu Zongjue looked at the warm, water-like Golden Flame in Chen Mobai's palm, which seemed to move as easily as an arm, and couldn't help but marvel.

This sword technique has been passed down in the Five Elements Sect to this day, and only the Primordial Ancestor Five Elements Simultaneous Cultivation, has ever reached such a level.

Because Sheng Zhaoxi of the Fire Vein disliked swordsmanship, he cultivated another technique Taiyi True Fire Art.

Mo Douguang, who is skilled in swordsmanship and has tried to cultivate the Five Elements Simultaneous Cultivation in an attempt to achieve the Primordial Dao Fruit, has only managed to condense a wisp of Golden Flame over the years. He then stopped progressing because he felt he could not control it due to not being Fire Spirit Body.

Therefore, Chen Mobai's current achievements in the Crimson Flame Sword Art can be considered the Number One Person of Eastern Wasteland.

"It's a pity that there isn't enough Green Wood Sha within the sect. At most, I can only cultivate two balls of Golden Flame..."

Chen Mobai said with a hint of regret that he possessed the Fire Starting Technique, which allowed him to generate Infinity Azure Sun Fire as long as he had enough spiritual power. However, he had already exhausted the crucial Green Wood Sha.

Giant Wood Ridge is already the place in the Eastern Wasteland with the most Green Wood Sha.

The twenty-one Green Wood Sha of the past were given away by Xie Yuntian again and again because of Chen Mobai's sudden emergence. He went from being extremely unwilling to doing so to being willing. Apart from the two he had condensed himself, he gave all the rest to Chen Mobai.

Of the nineteen Azure Flame Sword Sha that Chen Mobai condensed, one was transformed into Azure Flame Sword Talisman, which he bestowed upon Luo Yixuan for protection. Two others were burned away during the Spell Duel when the Flame Explosion Technique was used, leaving only sixteen remaining.

However, due to its rich geographical environment, Giant Wood Ridge generates a Green Wood Sha every two years or so, and eight more have been generated in recent years.

Given his status Sect Leader and the Core Formation Ancestor, he naturally has priority in using it.

Unfortunately, even if he condensed all of these into Azure Flame Sword Sha, according to the standard of nine strands combining into one ball of Golden Flame, Chen Mobai could only refine two balls at most.

If one truly wants to master the ultimate Extreme Sun Slash of the Crimson Flame Sword Art, then one must wait another hundred years for the Green Wood Sha to be formed.

This was something Chen Mobai, who always liked to use resources to speed up his cultivation and take shortcuts, found hard to accept.

"Although the Giant Wood Ridge has the most Green Wood Sha in the Eastern Wasteland, other sects and families also have such Qi resources. Junior Brother can purchase them in the name of the sect."

Fu Zongjue naturally hoped that Chen Mobai could master the Extreme Sun Slash as soon as possible. That was a normal Fourth Grade technique, and no one in the entire Eastern Wasteland dared to take that sword! "Senior brother thinks the same way. I have already asked Yue Zutao to handle this matter. It's just a pity that many of the Green Wood Sha we acquired are not even Second Grade quality."

Chen Mobai's first thought was naturally to use Spirit Stone to buy the Green Wood Sha from other forces.

However, those Cultivating Family, due to their limited resources, mostly possess only first-grade Earthly Fiend Qi.

Chen Mobai also instructed Ma Gang of the Spiritual Vein Department to arrange for the sect's Earth Master to search for the Green Wood Sha in the dense forests of the Eastern Wasteland. As long as Second Grade was found, in addition to 1,000 Sect Contribution, he was willing to offer an extra 1,000 Spirit Stone as a reward.

"I remember that Returning Heaven Valley has Second Grade Green Wood Sha. After all, the First Herb Field in the Eastern Wasteland belongs to them, and they also have the conditions to nurture this Earthly Fiend Qi. Junior Brother, you can mention this matter when you visit. Yan Shaoyin is definitely a frightened bird right now and will not refuse you."

Fu Zongjue suggested another idea, which made Chen Mobai's eyes light up, and he nodded in agreement.

If he couldn't find enough Green Wood Sha in the entire Eastern Wasteland, then Chen Mobai would have no choice but to resort to his last resort.

The method of artificially synthesizing the Earthly Fiend Qi of the Immortal Sect was passed down.

While he was at the Sky Mending Dao Academy, he didn't just study governance, warfare, business, and finance. He also accompanied Yan Bingxuan to the most famous Vital Energy Department course, especially the part on artificially synthesizing Earthly Fiend Qi, which he studied in detail.

After all, considering the need to clear the name of the Earthly Fiend Qi in the Sky River Realm, this is the simplest method.

Because this Green Wood Sha is one of the seven types of Earthly Fiend Qi that can be mined by the Immortal Sect, there is a wealth of research materials available. Therefore, all the major institutions and organizations of the Immortal Sect have completed the experiment of artificial synthesis, and the theory is now perfect.

I wonder if the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect are willing to sacrifice their hard-earned spiritual power for the sake of Sect Contribution and Spirit Stone, transforming it into the basic Five Elements Essence of the Green Wood Sha.

Chen Mobai's only concern was this point. After all, cultivators in the Sky River Realm valued cultivation level and realm the most. Converting spiritual energy into the Five Elements Essence would delay cultivation.

Many disciples of the Divine Wood Sect who aspire to the Great Dao may not be willing to accept this task.

However, Chen Mobai had a very open mind. If the sect could not collect enough Five Elements Essence, then he would spread the task to the Seven Kingdoms under his command, dozens of the Cultivating Family, and tens of thousands of Rogue Cultivator. There would always be someone willing to do so for resources such as Spirit Stone, pills, and Magic Artifact.

He firmly believed that even in the Sky River Realm, as long as the price was right, it could still sway people.

After testing the Flame Sun Slash with Fu Zongjue and confirming its power as a high-grade Third Grade- tier weapon, Chen Mobai felt relieved and began to condense the second Golden Flame.

Time flies, and a month has passed in no time.

Divine Wood Hall!

Chen Mobai had one hand behind his back and the other on his chest. Two Golden Flame in his palms, like glittering spheres, were constantly being played with and rotated by him, just like Tai Ji.

The Deputy Hall Master and Minister of the Three Halls Twelve Departments, standing in two rows on the left and right, watched this scene with twitching eyebrows and trembling faces.

The signs of mastering the Crimson Flame Sword Art have been spread throughout the entire Divine Wood Sect through Xie Yuntian's words these days.

Everyone now knows that the power of this burst of Golden Flame is enough to incinerate half of Divine Wood City.

A short while later, Yin Qingmei and Mu Yuan, who had been summoned, bowed to Chen Mobai and then retreated to the position closest to the palace gate, their faces slightly pale.

Both of them had already grasped the essence of the Longevity Sutra, and their Wood Spiritual Root were outstanding, even excellent, making them particularly sensitive to the Golden Flame.

It felt like the fear I felt when I encountered tigers and wolves in the wild as a child before I started practicing martial arts.

"I am going to visit the major sects in the Eastern Wasteland this time. Junior Nephew Mu, Junior Nephew Xi, and Disciple Yin, please come with me. Consider it an opportunity to broaden your horizons."

As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Mu Yuan, Xi Jinghuo, and Yin Qingmei immediately stood up and nodded in greeting.

The three of them remained in the sect's Foundation Establishment. Apart from Zhuo Ming, they had the greatest chance of Core Formation stage, so Chen Mobai, as the Sect Leader, naturally had to nurture them well.

In fact, Chen Mobai also wanted to bring Zhuo Ming along, since this apprentice was considerate and familiar with his various preferences. With her by his side, the journey would be much easier.

But after thinking it over, the Spirit Field Spirit Rice experiment in Little South Mountain, the transplanted Immortal Peach Tree, the Enlightenment White Tea, and Zhou Shengqing's Soul Nurturing Wood all depend on Zhuo Ming. So it's best to keep this precious disciple in the sect.

Moreover, Chen Mobai felt that he was not someone who couldn't endure hardship, nor did he need to be waited on all the time.

After arriving in the Ming Country, there's still Liu Wenbai, my Senior Disciple. We'll just have to endure it in the Blowing Snow Palace and the Returning Heaven Valley.

At this moment, Chen Mobai especially missed his little apprentice, Luo Yixuan.

If she were here with me, I wouldn't have to worry like this.

"After I leave, Martial Nephew Yue, please stay in the sect and manage the affairs of the sect in my stead as the sect Sect Leader."

Upon hearing the words, Yue Zutao immediately stepped out from the row to Chen Mobai's left, and after receiving the order, he bowed to the people of the Three Halls Twelve Departments.

With Chen Mobai as their backer, everyone gave them face and returned the gifts.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, as the face of our Divine Wood Sect, I feel that it is not enough to only bring three people. It just so happens that my disciple Li Yixian has successfully Foundation Establishment a few years ago. Why not let him come with you to broaden his horizons and also serve you and do some miscellaneous tasks under your command?"

After everything was explained, An Jinghui, the Minister of the Puppet Department, stepped forward and wanted to include his apprentice in the travel convoy.

He finally understood: Chen Mobai had brought along all the most promising people from the sect. If Li Yixian could join them, even if he didn't reach the Core Formation stage in the future, he could at least build good relationships with future Core Formation cultivators in the sect.

An Jinghui was a rare master in the Sky River Realm who cared about his disciples.

Chen Mobai had a decent relationship with him, and he also had a good impression of Li Yixian, the chubby boy, since he had served under him during the expedition to the Mountain Shaking Peak. So he nodded in agreement.

"Sect Leader..."

Little did they know that once he nodded, the rest of the group also realized what was going on and introduced their disciples and relatives to Chen Mobai, wanting to join the group visiting the Eastern Wasteland Great Sect.

Now that Chen Mobai has made this exception, he should treat everyone fairly.

"Send one person from each of the Three Halls Twelve Departments. Report the list to Yue Zutao. They will set off with me first thing tomorrow morning."

After saying this, Chen Mobai left the Divine Wood Hall with Zhuo Ming.

After everyone saw him off, they immediately turned around and surrounded Yue Zutao.

"Sect Leader, this is this month's Longevity Tree Sap!"

After Chen Mobai brought Zhuo Ming back to his Longevity Wood Dao Field, a Spiritual Water female cultivator walked up to him respectfully and handed him a snow-white porcelain bottle.

"Thank you for your hard work, Junior Nephew Gu Yan."

Chen Mobai smiled and accepted it, then nodded to Gu Yan.

Within the entire Divine Wood Sect, besides his disciples, only Gu Yan was allowed to freely enter and leave his dojo. Occasionally, when there was an urgent matter, Chen Mobai would ask her to run errands or call for help.

Because of this, Gu Yan was already regarded as Chen Mobai's half-disciple and maid in the Divine Wood Sect.

Chen Mobai handed the bottle of Longevity Tree Sap to Zhuo Ming, who was standing next to him.

"Take it to the Alchemy Department later and have Zeng Woyou and Junior Sister Yan refine the Longevity Dew."

"Yes, Master!"

Chen Mobai had not forgotten his Longevity Dao Body. With Gu Yan's continuous absorption and refinement of the Longevity Tree Sap, he felt that he had a very good chance of mastering this Body Forging Technique.

Even the Longevity Dew is considered Ancient Pill Formula, Zeng Woyou had already failed twice in his attempts to obtain it.

But Chen Mobai now has abundant resources, so this loss is only slightly painful for him.

After the master and apprentice talked for a while, Zhuo Ming left.

"Sect Leader..."

Just as Chen Mobai was about to go up to his wooden house, Gu Yan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"Oh, what is it?"

"Can I come with you on this trip?"

Hearing Gu Yan's words, Chen Mobai looked at her with some surprise. He had never realized before that she was so ambitious.

Thinking about how hard she had worked by his side over the past year, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.
