Chapter 315: Chapter 262: Harvest—1

Shan Hongyi discovered the Void Dark Stone Vein, a significant achievement.

Upon hearing that he lost a defensive magic weapon in the Lonely Spirit Ridge, Elder Zhou compensated him with two Rank-3 Spirit Leaf Talismans that he had personally crafted.

Each of these talismans can be used three times to defend against any attack from cultivators under the Gold Core realm.

In terms of value, they are even more precious than some enchanted treasures.

Placed for auction in the Fang Market, each one would fetch a value of at least three or four thousand spirit stones.

For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this is indeed a lifeline.

When Shan Hongyi received the two talismans, Chen Mobai saw his hands trembling slightly.

Despite his envy, he felt balanced as the original mineral spirit stone he received was of much more value.

“Both of you have made contributions too. I’ll reward you with some spirit stones and sect contribution points.

Before Zhou Shengqing left, he pointed to Chen Mobai and Yan Jinye and left these words behind.

“Yes, ancestor.”

As the sect leader, Meng Hong immediately responded respectfully to the place where Zhou Shengqing had disappeared.

“Junior Brother Chu, what do you think would be an appropriate reward?

After Meng Hong got up, he asked Chu Zuoshu, the hall master of the Reward Virtue Hall, who hesitated slightly.

Normally, he would certainly hold back a bit, but since it’s the ancestor’s orders, he should be more generous.

“Six hundred for Sister Yan each. Chen Mobai slain two Silver Armored Corpses which is a great achievement, how about three thousand?

“Agreed.”

Upon hearing these numbers, Meng Hong didn’t say much else.

Chen Mobai and Yan Jinye followed Chu Zuoshu to the Reward Virtue Hall, swiped their sect nameplates, and received their rewards.

Seeing the three thousand spirit stones and three thousand sect contribution points that Chen Mobai received, Yan Jinye looked very envious.

However, she considers herself lucky just being able to return alive this time.

Shan Hongyi came along with them to the Reward Virtue Hall, and then the three of them went to the Alchemy Department together.

The rewards from Zeng Woyou were yet to be collected.

“Thank you, Master.”

Yan Jinye gratefully saluted Zeng Woyou. If he hadn’t posted the task and invited Chen Mobai and the others to save her, she would certainly be a corpse by now.

“It’S nothing, the spirit stones for the task and the expenses are all on your account. I just advanced them for you.”

After Zeng Woyou finished speaking, he took out a bottle of elixir and a jade box from his storage bag.

The elixir was the “Return the Jade Pill” he helped Shan Hongyi refine. It’s very helpful for mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators to enhance their realms, and only Zeng Woyou in the entire Divine Wood Sect is confident enough to produce it.

Of course, since it was Zeng Woyou who asked for help, it was him who provided all the ingredients for the elixir, the Medicinal Materials Spirit Grass.

Shan Hongyi made a huge gain from this journey.

After receiving the elixir, he didn’t stay any longer and immediately excused himself to leave.

He was eager to return, to count this time’s losses and gains.

“Brother Chen, this is yours.”

Zeng Woyou handed over another jade box to Chen Mobai. Chen opened it and saw inside.

As expected, there were three bamboo fruits, still with some crystal-clear dew, seemingly freshly picked.

“Thank you.”

His primary goal this time was Tree Fruit, but considering the current situation, it’s not good to discuss too much with Yan Jinye.

Chen Mobai was very satisfied with receiving three Bamboo Fruits.

After all, he will only consume the Tree Fruits once a complete set is collected. As long as Yan Jinye has it, there will always be opportunities in the future. “Brother Chen, I shall pay a visit to express my gratitude for saving my life once my injuries are fully healed.”

When Chen Mobai was about to leave, Yan Jinye specially escorted him out the door, expressing her gratitude in her words.

After all, despite Shan Hongyi’s significant contribution of discovering the Void Dark Stone Vein to the sect, their safe return from the Lonely Spirit Ridge was thanks to Chen Mobai’s formidable Sword Dao.

“By the way, junior sister, I have a little disciple…

Before leaving, Chen Mobai thought it would be too blunt to directly mention the Tree Fruit, so he used Zhuo Ming as an excuse to invite Yan Jinye to visit Xiao Nanshan and give some guidance when she’s free.

“I will.”

Yan Jinye promised without hesitation. After all, she had always wanted to make friends with promising senior brother Chen Mobai, but hardly had the chance.

Now that they share a bond forged in life and death, and being proactively invited by him, she promised to visit in a few days.

After returning to Xiao Nanshan.

Chen Mobai began to count his gains.

He had learned quite a bit from this year’s Treasure Appraisal course and quickly deduced most of the usage techniques for the golden jade axe. Although the practice method was simple, the power of this magic artifact was far from insignificant.

After trying it, Chen Mobai found that without the reinforcement of the Qingyang Fire Seed, his Flying Sparrow Hairpin, in terms of pure attack, might be slightly inferior to it.

This Golden Jade Axe could be classified as a top-notch Rank-2 magic artifact. In the market, such an artifact could sell for up to sixteen to seventeen hundred spirit stones. If auctioned, it might even exceed two thousand spirit stones with enough demand.

However, after testing its power, Chen Mobai felt that the Flying Sparrow Hairpin was more suitable for him.

The artifact Meng Hong gave him was quite insightful as it could perfectly combine his Qingyang Fire Seed and Purple Fire Sword Light to enhance its power.

Combined, those surpassed the power of the Golden Jade Axe by far.

Putting down the axe, he took out the five-colored Lotus Lamp, used his Appraisal knowledge to deduce its functionality, and merely found out that after injecting spiritual power, it could emit a defensive flame.

However, Chen Mobai felt he could use this mysterious artifact to hone his appraisal abilities..
