Chapter 289: Chapter 252 Divide the Treasure 2

But without Chen Mobai, an extraordinary being capable of suppressing all heroes with a single sword, Mu Yuan took the first place without any dispute. As for his other disciple, Zhuo Ming, her participation was for gaining experience.

She was eliminated in the first round.

However, her opponent knew that this chubby-faced junior sister at Qi cultivation third stage was last year’s top real-world student and the new Foundation Establishment elder Chen Mobai’s disciple, and was lenient, just pushing her off the stage.

The most regrettable was Qi Rui.

He, along with Liu Wenbo, followed Xi Jinghuo to the Golden Cliff for further training. He felt that his swordsmanship had improved, and he believed he was at the peak of Qi cultivation in both talisman and swordcraft, but unfortunately, he ran into Feng Hongxue, who had failed the Foundation Establishment and had to start again, and still fell before reaching the real- world stage.

However, after this battle, Qi Rui was full of confidence.

Because Feng Hongxue also lost in the next round to Qi Hou after a life-and- death struggle with him, this means that he indeed has the strength of the real world.

There are still five years left. He is confident that he can achieve the real-world status and obtain a Foundation Building Pill in the year when the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom matures.

Teacher, I will not disappoint you, this year I must become a real-world practitioner.”

Liu Wenbo put on the brass ring, injected his spiritual power according to the method taught by Chen Mobai, and felt the evolution of the Sword Qi, full of confidence.

His Longevity Spiritual Power has shown signs of breaking through to Qi Cultivation’s 9th stage, at which time, combined with the casting sword ring, he can complete the family’s secret skill, the BiBo Sword Qi.

Even if he can’t suppress all the real-world practitioners with one sword like his teacher Chen Mobai, he must at least occupy a real-world position and not disgrace his teacher.

Liu Wenbo, who believes he has inherited Chen Mobai’s mantle, quietly resolved his decision in his heart.

Zhuo Ming also looked envious on the side. Who would like to farm if they can defeat the enemy with one sword?

This needle box’s magic artifact refinement technique is…”

After telling Liu Wenbo about the refinement methods of his two magic artifacts, Chen Mobai turned to talk about Zhuo Ming’s two artifacts.

Zhuo Ming, who received such precious magic artifacts for the first time, had all of her attention drawn by the needle box and the five-phase umbrella’. When she heard that the five-phase umbrella was a rank-1 top-grade defense magic weapon, she was shocked and opened her mouth wide.

“Master, this is too valuable.”

Defense magic artifacts of the same grade are at least one level higher in price than attack magic artifacts and must be at least one-third higher.

If you put the casting sword ring and the five-phase umbrella together for a cultivator to choose from, everyone except the sword cultivators would choose the five-phase umbrella.

“Among my disciples, you are the weakest, so take it.”

Chen Mobai’s truthful words did not discourage Zhuo Ming at all.

She joyfully held the wooden umbrella in her hand, inserted her spiritual power into the handle using the new refinement method she had learned, and opened the umbrella with a “pap” sound.

“Wen Bo, give it a try.”

Upon the master’s order, Liu Wenbo raised his thumb, where he just put on the casting sword ring, and conjured a gush of blue Sword Qi, slashing at the surface of the five-phase umbrella.

A rustling noise, like the sound of rain falling on the umbrella, resonated. Zhuo Ming didn’t feel the pressure of the Sword Qi, but her face turned pale.

Her spiritual power was about to be drained.

Chen Mobai immediately helped her to close the five-phase umbrella.

“You should be barely able to control it when you reach the sixth stage of Qi cultivation.”

Zhuo Ming took a moment to rest. Holding the five-phase umbrella, her face was crimson and filled with joy.

“When you have a chance in the future, get familiar with the refining techniques of these two magical tools. Both the needle box and the five-phase umbrella are magical tools that require much experience to use.”

In the past, Chen Mobai had displayed quite a few tricks using these two magical artifacts.

Zhuo Ming, a cultivator born and raised in the Tianhe Realm, had also experienced many magic duels and had spent several years coming and going in the cloud dream marsh.

She should be able to break through to the latter stage of Qi cultivation after her Longevity Spiritual Power is completely transformed. At that time, with these two magic tools, she might make it to the third round of the sect competition. “Thank you, Master.”

After the two disciples thanked him again, Chen Mobai earnestly asked if they had any confusion in their cultivation.

Liu Wenbo was ready to ask for advice on breaking through to the ninth stage of Qi cultivation, and Zhuo Ming, who was practicing earth spiritual power for the first time, had also accumulated many questions.

After Chen Mobai finished answering all the questions, he discovered that it was already dusk.

Knowing their master’s fondness for food and drinks, Zhuo Ming went down the mountain to pick up some fresh bamboo shoots, and Liu Wenbo caught some Spirit Fish kept in the paddy fields. They both showed off their skills by making a lot of dishes.

Chen Mobai even opened a jar of last year’s Jade Bud Spirit Wine.

“Oh, what a coincidence.”

Just as the three disciples were about to start eating, a green light fell from the sky, and Yuan Chiye descended from the heavens, smiling at the lavish banquet before him.

“Come on, we were just missing a drinking buddy.”

On seeing Yuan Chiye, Chen Mobai’s eyes lit up and he immediately invited him over.

Though his two disciples were pretty good, their status was a generation lower, making them a bit restrained when drinking with him. The arrival of Yuan Chiye was perfect.

I thought of catching up with you before leaving the sect, but didn’t expect to make it in time for such a good meal.”

“Oh, so you’re going back to Yun Meng Ze?”

Not exactly. A Sapphire vein within the territory of Lei Nation was found to have accompanying Spirit Stones. This could be a miniature Spirit Stone mine. The six major cultivation families in the area had been keeping it a secret, not reporting it. Several people died when they divided the benefits unequally amongst themselves and the local sect’s town guard discovered their plot.” Yuan Chiye explained his mission briefly.

Although he had already achieved Foundation Establishment, he still had not paid off all the contributions and Spirit Stones he owed to the sect, so he accepted this task given out by the Spirit Vein department.

“Are you going alone?”

Chen Mobai was a little worried, since all families who are treated as cultivation families by the Divine Wood Sect had Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed there.

“I’m just going to assist the town guard of Lei Nation’s sect and investigate the production output of that Spirit Stone mine. The sect has already informed Brother Zhou about this matter. He will also depart from Yun Meng Ze with some people and head to Lei Nation. The worst-case scenario would be the sect taking action and wiping out the six cultivation families.”

Yuan Chiye spoke casually while discussing all this.

For cultivators in the Tianhe Realm, annihilating sects seemed to be an everyday occurrence.

However, according to the rules of Immortal Sects, every resource, above and below the earth, is national property and must be reported immediately upon discovery.

As Lei Nation is a secular force of the Divine Wood Sect and they discovered a

Spirit Stone Mine, it naturally belongs to their sect.

“Then I wish you a successful journey.”

“I’m borrowing your good luck. Oh, Sister Yan discovered a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s cave dwelling, but she can’t break the array by herself. She wants to invite three fellow sect members to help. She came to me, but I just accepted this task in Lei Nation. If you’re interested, you can invite her for a talk.”

As Yuan Chiye left, he gave Chen Mobai some information.

“Alright.”

Chen Mobai nodded in agreement, but deep down he didn’t want to leave at all.

He was very comfortable staying here in Giant Tree Ridge, and he was just about to enter the Treasure Trove. Whoever wants to go to a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator’s cave dwelling can go.

After Yuan Chiye left, the two disciples had already tidied up the mess of plates and cups on the mountain top.

“I have come to some realizations and need to seclude myself for a short period. Unless it’s really necessary, don’t disturb me.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming looked at each other.

Why did their master have another realization?

Up to now, neither of them had experienced such profound insights.

Obviously, they, being ordinary humans, could not compare to their master who was an exceptional genius.

After the two with respectful expressions left down the mountain, the Cloud Mist Array started again, blocking off the peak of Xiao Nanshan.

The next day, when Yan Jinye, who came for a visit, heard Zhuo Ming’s words, she could only regretfully go find another senior sister, while looking at him with admiration.

At the back mountain of Crimson City.

Chen Mobai, carrying a backpack, handed over the recommendation form in his hand to a tall young man with sword-like eyebrows and a robust physique.

“I am Qin Beichen.”

The man who spoke was none other than Chen Mobai’s official mentor at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the Real Man of Shaoyang, Qin Beichen.
