Chapter 344: Chapter 274: Traveling God Controls Qi_2

“Huh?”

Hua Zijing had already done her make-up and even let loose her ponytail. She styled her hair to look beautiful, hoping to leave a good impression on Jiang Yuyuan.

But then Chen Mobai said he wouldn’t go for their meeting.

“What happened?”

Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled. Just then, he noticed that Hua Zijing looked quite attractive today. She wore a black dress that accentuated her tall and fair figure. Her long and black hair draped over her shoulders. She was looking much more beautiful than the serious and dignified image she maintained during the student council meetings.

“Nothing…”

Hua Zijing was forced to utter these three words through gritted teeth.

“Well then, I should leave now. After these few days of personal observation, I feel both of you are quite capable of maintaining the order,” Chen Mobai said.

“What do you mean?”

While Shen Renyou couldn’t comprehend his words, Hua Zijing intuited what he meant and widened her eyes to ask him.

“I won’t be coming from tomorrow. Inform me on the day of the official exchange meeting. I will show up to meet the representatives of the Daoist Academy,” Chen Mobai bluntly explained his plans.

The entire student council was flabbergasted.

What just happened?

Wasn’t he pursuing Meng Huang?

How could he suddenly retreat when he was about to succeed?

Is this a case of a new broom sweeps clean? But it happened too soon!

No matter what they thought, Chen Mobai simply resumed his cultivation, shuttling only between the Treasure Trove and Xiao Nanshan after achieving his objective. He didn’t even return to the small cottage he had rented.

“What happened? Did you reject him?”

Two days later, Jiang Yuyuan, who hadn’t seen Chen Mobai at his usual spot, asked Meng Huang with a puzzled expression. Meng Huang had the most complicated expression on her face that he had ever seen. There was resentment, grievance, distress, confusion, regret, and so on…

She didn’t understand why he suddenly gave up on her after only a few days of pursuit.

Was it because she didn’t make enough progress?

If she had known, she would have agreed to meet him alone at the beginning.

Why was he so impatient!

Chen Mobai was completely oblivious to the complex thoughts of Meng Huang and her group. He happily took out the half of the sealed Emerald Wood Spirit Heart from his storage bag after solidifying his realm in the “Wandering Spirit Qi Control”.

The blue solution inside the glass bottle was frozen by Yan Bingxuan into a stone resembling a giant sapphire.

Centred in the sapphire was the half piece of the Emerald Wood Spirit Heart.

Chen Mobai rented a cultivation room from the Daoist Academy to ensure that no one would disturb him.

With his previous experience of absorbing the spirit, he was not worried about refining it.

However, due to the triple sealing and the need to maintain the effect of the Emerald Wood Spirit Heart without damaging it, he had to be extremely careful.

Being proficient in the Divine Manipulation Technique and with increased level of his Divine Sense Realm, he meticulously worked on unsealing the seal.

Following the seal breaking mantra left by Qing Nu and Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai began to dissolve their sealing power one by one on the Emerald Wood Spirit Heart.

Time passed quickly.

After fully absorbing the Emerald Wood Spirit Heart, Chen Mobai opened his eyes. If there was someone in the cultivation room, they would have seen an invisible and shapeless sword in his eyes, extremely captivating.

He felt his Sea of Knowledge in the Purple Palace. The space that was originally occupied by the Green Paulownia Seedling had expanded again, taking up only one sixth of his Sea of Knowledge. This happened after the absorption of the Emerald Wood Spirit Heart, which had initially occupied about a quarter of the space.

Chen Mobai checked his data and found that the space of his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion had already reached the level of cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

To put it in other words, when he was in the early Foundation Establishment stage, due to the refining of the entire Bimu Spirit Heart to open up the Purple Mansion, he was able to enhance his Divine Sense to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Right now, he only expanded the container of the Purple Mansion, and his Divine Sense has not been upgraded to the extreme.

But soon, Chen Mobai picked a flower fruit from his Divine Wood Bimu WuTong which has started Divine Consciousness Forming, and divided his mind into thoughts and planted it on the other side of the Purple Mansion.

The drops of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew fell, and a tender shoot slowly sprouted.

Once this Green Paulownia Seedling grows up, he can repeat the process of integrating the divine self into the whole to greatly increase his Divine Sense.

Just as expected, the two batches of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew refined by Wang Xingyu this time contained no Danless Poison. He handed them over to Chen Mobai with a sigh of relief, stating that if he failed again this time, he would have a Heart Demon even if he were to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Chen Mobai believed that Wang Xingyu’s attitude was wrong. The alchemists in the Tianhe Realm always boldly claimed that the employer should bear all the losses of the failed alchemy, and if they succeeded, they would take another 20-30% as refining fees.

However, because of this, the alchemists in the Tianhe Realm were bolder and braver than one another.

They dared to refine any pill without worrying about the amount of Danless Poison. As long as it did not kill people, it was considered to have fulfilled the commission and the alchemy was successful.

At Xiao Nanshan, if it weren’t for Chen Mobai’s intervention, those spiritual wines experimented by Zhuo Ming and the two disciples from the Alchemy Section would have been sold in their shop by his little disciple.

With much persuasion, stern looks and some scolding, Zhuo Ming finally felt a bit reluctant to feed these spiritual wines to the spirit mice bought by Liu Wenbo from the Spirit Beast Section.

After this incident, Chen Mobai set a rule.

All newly produced spiritual wines needed to be fed to spirit mice for over a year to confirm their safety before they could be sold in his shop in the Divine Wood City.

Although Zhuo Ming and Liu Wenbo didn’t understand, the master in the Tianhe Realm is equivalent to heaven, and they could only obey the orders.

After dealing with this matter, Chen Mobai was concerned about the issue of the Void Dark Stone Vein, but this was kept top secret in the Divine Wood Sect, so he had to visit Yan Jinye.

As expected, Yan Jinye knew some inside information. After all, she was the discoverer of Lonely Spirit Ridge, and also the direct lineage of Master Zhou. Many things were not hidden from her.

“Although the Void Stone Mine in Lonely Spirit Ridge is not as good as the one in the Five Elements Sect, it greatly surpasses the one in Shake Mountain. It should be a small to medium mine. Master Zhou even took the time to visit personally.”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai became even more curious.

“Is the Void Stone Mine in Lonely Spirit Ridge already under excavation now?”

“I don’t really know about this. Master Zhou is paying great attention to this matter and Hall Master Reward Virtue is personally in charge. However, many elders of the Foundation Establishment Stage in our Divine Wood Sect have broken away from the Five Elements Sect. There are probably many hidden spies from the other realms. If there is too much movement, it simply cannot be concealed. It should be the head of the Spirit Vein Section leading a few trusted people to mine on a small scale.”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded slightly.

This matter could be told to him, which shows that within the Divine Wood Sect, he was truly considered as one of their own.

However, this is understandable. After all, his origin is clear.

From Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment, he had been advancing all the way under the watchful eyes of the Divine Wood Sect, coupled with his extraordinary talent, at least in the future, he would be invincible under the Gold Core Realm, so the upper echelons of the sect already regard him as one of the future helmsman.

After chatting with Yan Jinye for a while and learning the information he wanted, Chen Mobai bid farewell and left.

After cultivating the Divine Slash, his cultivation had no short-term goals.

Apart from practicing spells daily, he was using Spirit Stones to propel the progress of his Pure Yang Daoist Body.

Sometimes, he really thought about directly taking the three treasures for Foundation Establishment and activating the Pure Yang Scroll Foundation Establishment.

He didn’t know if he had the opportunity to successfully cultivate his foundation through enlightenment.

Just when Chen Mobai was bored enough to start using the Map of Treasures to compare all the Dead Seal Device Balls he had seen, Hua Zijing finally sent him a message.

The big people of the fairy gate had arrived.

This meant that this year’s Crimson City Skyhole University League Exchange Conference had finally begun.

“You actually look quite impressive in this outfit.”

In the three-story villa of the Student Union, in the president’s office on the third floor, with Hua Zijing’s help, Chen Mobai put on the Dance Instruments Red and Black Robe that the Artifact Refining Department had urgently woven during this period.

Since he was often in the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai usually dressed in ancient style, and his black hair had long been grown out.

Paired with this black bottom red stripe wide sleeve robe, he looked like the villainous young masters in ancient dramas. His entire person was elegant and solemn within his elegance, but these two contrasting temperaments perfectly merged into one in him, making the eyes of Hua Zijing, who was used to Zuo Qiushi’s powerful bearing, light up.

This person looks kind of good in formal wear!
