Chapter 2837: A Page from the Textbook (part 2) |
Perhaps when he returns to East Yu, he will be directly subdued by several senior uncles and masters.
...
Soon, Chen Mobai, who returned to Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, received news that Star Fire was leading a group of disciples back to East Yu.
For Chen Mobai, this was a small matter.
At most, when East Yu is fully incorporated into the Five Elements Sect, he might make an appearance.
However, this matter was entrusted to Jiang Zongheng to handle, and if successful, it would be a great merit in expanding the territory for the Five Elements Sect.
At that time, Deity Transformation Pills can be rightfully bestowed as a reward.
Having become accustomed to being a hands-off manager, Chen Mobai found that his previous life was too harsh, needing his personal involvement in everything.
Now, it’s time to enjoy life.
On this day, Chen Mobai was instructing the young Yellow Dragon Girl, Tai Sui Child, and Devouring Heaven Serpent as well as other alien beings in cultivation.
He mainly assisted Tai Sui Child, which under Chen Mobai’s guidance, comprehended the Great Tao and cultivated Earth Immortality Scripture, purging the poison within its body progressively.
The malevolent aura that used to linger was now completely vanished. A purple vertical mark between its brows stretched from its head and traversed its back down to its feet, resembling a Dao imprint, and its entire body emitted a Taoist aura, giving it the demeanor of an immortal child.
In some future scenarios, Chen Mobai was already considering taking it and the young Yellow Dragon Girl out together.
Because Tai Sui Child already exhibited some signs of Fifth Rank power, potentially becoming another Fifth Rank force in the Five Elements Sect after Qing Nu.
Though Tai Sui Child, even if reaching Fifth Rank, would certainly be at the bottom level, bullying Nascent Souls would be no problem.
When it and the young Yellow Dragon Girl stand on either side of Chen Mobai, it surely would look imposing.
"Thank you, great master."
This day, after Chen Mobai demonstrated the Earth Element Great Dao to Tai Sui Child, the last trace of poison in the latter’s body was purified, and feeling light as if about to float, it immediately bowed deeply.
"This is Civet Power’s inner core, which Madam previously purified, and can be taken as an elixir. Given your current realm, you can refine it."
Chen Mobai noticed the purple Dao imprint on Tai Sui Child’s body glowing with spiritual light, as if coming to life and spreading across its whole body, knowing that the child had reached the necessary level, he took out the earth-colored inner core that had been refined long ago.
"Thank you, great master, thank you madam!"
Tai Sui Child listened, overwhelmed with gratitude.
For over two hundred years, while scraping for food under the ruins, who would’ve imagined such an astonishing opportunity awaited?
Truly, finding the right master is paramount.
It was not in vain that it loyally served the great master and the young master for so many years.
"Take my token and go to East Barbarians to find Ming’er, let her bring you to Wandering Mountain for seclusion. With her help, you’ll effectively have merit alongside, and with the Civet Power inner core too, your chances of ascending to Fifth Rank are over fifty percent."
Chen Mobai spoke of his arrangement.
Creatures like Tai Sui, classified as special spirit plants in the Immortal Gate, can naturally ascend as long as they have reached the necessary level and possess sufficient energy.
But there is still a possibility of failure.
Having cultivated Tai Sui Child for so long, Chen Mobai was naturally keen on ensuring its safety.
Unable and unwilling to personally escort it, he could only entrust his beloved disciple.
Moreover, in all respects, spirit plants ascending while beside Zhuo Ming is actually more beneficial.
Zhuo Ming could also seize this chance to experience higher realms in Earth Immortality Scripture, even comprehensively integrating Dao Fruit, laying a solid foundation for Divinity Transformation.
Hearing Chen Mobai’s thoughtful arrangement, Tai Sui Child felt its future bright.
After taking the token, it didn’t hesitate and went directly to find Zhuo Ming in East Barbarians.
It was eagerly looking forward to ascending to Fifth Rank, to do more for the great master.
"Brother-in-law, when can I ascend to Fifth Rank?"
Seeing Tai Sui Child’s treatment, Yang Jing was very envious, couldn’t resist sliding to Chen Mobai’s side, speaking coyly.
"Cultivation should not be greedy for success. You’re not even at Fourth Rank yet, thinking about Fifth Rank doesn’t suit you now."
Chen Mobai extended a finger, flicking Yang Jing’s sleek forehead, causing the latter to coil its tail in pain and shrink away.
At this moment, Gu Yan arrived, and she approached Chen Mobai to first pay respects, indicating it was time for Yang Jing to soak in Longevity Dew.
As one of the relatives Qing Nu cherished, Chen Mobai shaped Longevity Dao Body for the transformative Yang Jing from Devouring Heaven Serpent, letting it raise its physical body to Fourth Rank first, then condense a Fourth Rank inner core to undergo heavenly tribulation.
This was entrusted to Gu Yan, who was very meticulous about it.
Recently, Yang Jing’s Longevity Dao Body already showed signs of progressing to Fourth Rank, so Gu Yan increased the dosage according to Chen Mobai’s instructions.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Mobai spoke amiably to Gu Yan, who humbly replied, then took Yang Jing away.
In a blink, only the young Yellow Dragon Girl remained.
Chen Mobai looked at her and found that her usually expressionless little face was filled with anticipation.
"Ahem, it’s been a while since going out, how about a little outing?"
Chen Mobai thought about it, having nothing suitable to give the young Yellow Dragon Girl, decided to let her reveal her true form, taking her for a ride over East Continent to sightsee, treating it as a trip.
Coincidentally, Qing Nu also emerged from seclusion, having stabilized her realm.
Upon telling her, she too got interested, opting to visit old places, just as the Deity Transformation Ceremony was still a while away.
Traveling mounted on a Yellow Dragon, naturally exuded an extraordinary aura.
Chen Mobai did his utmost to display grandeur, wherever they went, almost every cultivator could sense the stirring of nature’s spiritual energy, the convergence of Wind Thunder, and from afar they’d hear deep dragon roars.
This also made town guards in various counties quite nervous.
They thought Old Ancestor Chen wouldn’t go out without a reason, perhaps planning to tour the realm, checking accounts of each place.
Yet, no matter what, ensuring a neat city appearance was undoubtedly beneficial.
Soon, all Immortal Cities under Five Elements Sect started addressing the issues of loose cultivators and cleaning the environment of major Spiritual Mountain Market streets.
Ensuring that when Old Ancestor Chen looks down from above, the grounds under his auspices are clean and tidy.
Hopefully, Old Ancestor visits, securing an excellent evaluation upon completion of the guards’ audit period, perhaps letting them aspire to power in the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions.
However, Chen Mobai being a laid-back person, simply toured some familiar places mounted on the Yellow Dragon.
Such as Mount Tianpeng where the third eldest disciple, Han Zhiling, resides; now entirely covered in maples, all descendants of the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple.
Atop the mountain, the wooden house where Chen Mobai and Qing Nu once cohabited still stood, evoking nostalgia in both.
After departing Mount Tianpeng, Chen Mobai headed to the neighboring Giant Tree Ridge to drink heartily with Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue.
Following the drinking, Chen Mobai entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm.
It had become a welfare location for the disciples of the Five Elements Sect, each Foundation Establishment Practitioner could enter once to gain insights into the Longevity Sect legacy.
Those able to acquire Five Great Immortal Sutras or Twenty-four Great Techniques showed exceptional aptitude and would receive focused nurturing from the sect.
Yet, the Great Dao Tree and Magic Treasure Tree had been sealed off, no disciples were allowed to approach.
The Great Dao Tree, because it harbored the Heavenly Venerate Tree Branch, felt dangerous even to Chen Mobai.
While the Magic Treasure Tree was simply depleted of treasures.
Given the Five Elements Sect promoted so many Foundation Establishment Practitioners annually, even the deepest foundation couldn’t sustain such distribution.
When Chen Mobai took the sect master’s position and learned of this, he decreed to preserve what remained in the Magic Treasure Tree as sect reserves.
Within the secret realm, Qing Nu once resided, after sentimentally recalling with her, Chen Mobai decided to take her to one final place.
That was Chen Mobai’s starting point in the Eastern Wilderness, the Water Mansion.
