Yi Chongyue's lineage has three Foundation Establishment, making them quite influential within the sect.
The earliest patriarch of his lineage can be traced back to the second disciple of the founding patriarch of the Jade Spring Sect, who was also skilled in Dao of Alchemy. Therefore, when this lineage takes on disciples, they always make sure that one of them has a talent for alchemy, so that the lineage can continue.
After the apprenticeship ceremony was completed, Chen Shuangbai's status changed.
Yi Chongyue looked at his disciple with great pleasure, raised his hand and flipped it over. A magical light flashed in his hand, and an object appeared.
This is a Law Artifact shaped like a miniature mountain, about an inch in size. It is carved from a single piece of turquoise jade, with pavilions, towers, and landscapes resembling those of Jiangnan, all vividly and lifelike, captivating the eye.
Upon seeing this, Shi Yubai frowned slightly and said, "This [ Green Jade Mountain ] was given to you by your master for self-defense. You have focused on studying Dao of Alchemy and haven't mastered many Divine Ability techniques. It shouldn't be given to you lightly!"
Chen Shuangbai immediately understood and said, "Master, I cannot accept this!"
Yi Chongyue, however, seemed to have anticipated this situation, explaining, "But a formal apprenticeship ceremony is necessary. Shuangbai's strength is concentrated in swordsmanship and Thunder Method, making his physical body rather weak. If he encounters those extremely fast Devil Cultivator in the future..."
Peng Yu suddenly interrupted, saying, "Senior brother, let's do it."
Upon hearing this, Yi Chongyue's face revealed a smug smile. He quickly put the Spirit Artifact into his pocket and said with a smile, "Junior sister, you said it yourself."
Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately understood.
This was Yi Chongyue's provocation tactic.
Peng Yu glared at her senior brother, her voice gentle and soft, but she was quite annoyed. "Senior brother, after all these years, you're still playing these tricks?"
Shi Yubai couldn't help but chuckle.
But as the senior brother, he naturally had to take care of his junior brothers and sisters, so he couldn't say much. He could only nod at Yi Chongyue, then look at Chen Shuangbai and ask, "Junior nephew, your master doesn't have many offensive methods, so he needs to keep [ Green Jade Mountain ] for his own protection. Coincidentally, we two senior uncles also need to give each other a gift. What do you need?"
Peng Yu added, "Or rather, what is your weakness right now?"
Chen Shuangbai knew that her two teachers were testing her.
His current offensive methods are mainly based on swordsmanship, with Yin Thunder Method as a secondary method, supplemented by various Law Technique such as Cold Spring Guidance. As for his weaknesses... just as Yi Chongyue said, his physical body is weak, making him extremely difficult to approach.
But Chen Shuangbai had actually considered this point long ago.
Both the Life-Accepting Spirit Liquid nurtured by the Life-Accepting Gourd and the Sweet Dew Incantation in the " Water and Wood Pure Splendor Incantation " have extremely strong healing effects on injuries, which is his way of dealing with them.
Chen Shuangbai didn't hold back with his teachers and elders, showing them all his current Law Artifact.
The Life-Accepting Gourd, the Flame Shadow Space-Escape Flag, the Cold Spring Sword, the Green Parasol Tree Sword, the Flowing Cloud Flying Pouch, and... right in the center, the spiritual Spirit Artifact [ Clear Waves Reflecting Moon Flag ], pulsating with boundless spiritual energy!
The three Foundation Establishment were somewhat taken aback.
They had all seen Chen Shuangbai's performance in the Martial Edge Trial and knew that he possessed several Law Artifact, but they were still slightly surprised when he revealed them all.
Especially that Spirit Artifact, the [ Clear Waves Reflecting Moon Flag ].
Feeling the power emanating from above, Peng Yu exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being my own junior disciple! To possess a Spirit Artifact at the Qi Refining stage!"
Chen Shuangbai explained the origin of the Spirit Artifact, and the three Foundation Establishment nodded in agreement.
" Du Zifeng... I think he's Senior Brother Yao's disciple... Now I remember, a few years ago, when Senior Brother Yao was in seclusion, this disciple called him out and flew into a rage, but he still helped him perfect the design of a Law Artifact."
"This must be it."
"My nephew is so lucky!"
Shi Yubai eyes scanned the several Law Artifact one by one, and he was quite satisfied with them all, saying, "Indeed, we need a magical Law Artifact for defense."
"The true power of Spirit Artifact can only be fully unleashed after you have established your immortal foundation. At your current Qi Refining stage, you can only barely display a portion of it. Therefore, your senior uncle will not give you a Spirit Artifact, but will instead bestow upon you a magic Law Artifact for self-defense."
Shi Yubai spoke, he flicked his sleeve, and a warm, azure light flew out from his sleeve, landing in his palm and transforming into a palm-sized, dark black, ancient bronze mirror with pale gold water ripple patterns on its edges.
Upon receiving the bronze mirror, Chen Shuangbai looked down and felt its cool touch. The mirror reflected no image, only gentle ripples that emanated a mellow and tranquil water-like spiritual energy.
This item is called the [ Mystic Water Wave-Stilling Mirror ].
Shi Yubai slowly said, "It is made from Mystic Yin Sunken Water Iron collected from the bottom of the river, and smelted and refined using our sect's unique Secret Method. It is a top-grade defensive magic Law Artifact."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.
He already knew that this was his senior uncle's position in the sect. He was the head of the Shouyu Hall, who was in charge of the Dharma of the Jade Guarding Hall. He was extremely strict in managing his True Person Bo, wielded great power, and was indeed very generous.
Chen Shuangbai instantly refined it, channeling his Law Power into it. The bronze mirror hummed and flew to the top of his head. Ripples on the mirror's surface spread outwards, eventually transforming into streaks of dark water that swirled around him, giving him a sense of weight and fluidity.
"... The consumption of Law Power has indeed decreased significantly."
The [ Clear Waves Reflecting Moon Flag ]'s Thousand Ripples Obscuring the Moon also has a very strong defensive effect, but for Chen Shuangbai, who is still in the Qi Refining Stage, it consumes a lot of Law Power and cannot be used for a long time.
In comparison, this [ Mystic Water Wave-Stilling Mirror ] is much more useful.
"Thank you, Senior Uncle, for bestowing this treasure!"
Chen Shuangbai bowed deeply, showing no politeness.
At this moment, Peng Yu chuckled softly, and with a flick of her wrist, a delicate white jade bottle appeared in her palm. The bottle was engraved with exquisite cloud patterns, and a faint fragrance of medicine wafted out.
"Nephew, your master is skilled in alchemy, so I, as his uncle, will refrain from showing off my limited knowledge of alchemy."
"This product is called Mind-Clearing Jade Dew. It is made by collecting the dew from lotus flowers under the first rays of the morning sun, mixing it with the essence of several calming and tranquil flowers, and brewing it using Secret Method."
"Drinking it regularly can help calm your mind, stabilize your spirit, and fight against inner demons and distracting thoughts, which is quite beneficial for spiritual practice."
"Thank you so much, Uncle Peng, for your generous gift!"
Chen Shuangbai gratefully accepted it again.
Chen Shuangbai knew that spiritual water personally refined by a Foundation Establishment cultivator could not be so simple.
Perhaps it will have a remarkable effect once it goes to the battlefield.
Seeing that his two senior brothers and sisters had given him such generous gifts, Yi Chongyue was even happier. He smiled and said, " Shuangbai, your Senior Martial Uncle Shi and Uncle Peng are very generous with their gifts. You must treat them with the utmost respect in the future, understand?"
Chen Shuangbai responded with a "Yes".
He then bestowed upon her a key made of crystal, saying, "This is the key to the treasure vault on the peak. You may freely peruse the many spiritual materials, elixirs, Dao of Alchemy classics, notes, and insights I have collected over the years, as well as my understanding of water-based cultivation Cultivation Method and array formations. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
"But remember, don't aim too high... understand?"
"Your disciple thanks Your Majesty!"
