Chapter 393: Chapter 296 Rank-3 Herbs_2

After completing all of this, he pushed open the room door and walked out.

A youth in black clothing was standing in the courtyard, waiting for him.

“Why are you here?”

Chen Mobai was slightly surprised to see Yu Lian.

“I came to thank you.”

“Oh, if you’re talking about informing you about the Foundation Building Pill being produced in the Alchemy Department, didn’t you already thank me before?”

“You know that’s not what I’m referring to.”

Yu Lian spoke without any expression. Chen Mobai was a bit surprised upon hearing this. In the past few days, no decree had been issued by Shenmu Hall under the sect leader’s name to cancel Yu Lian’s genuine pass mark for this year, indicating that Chu Zuoshu’s persuasion had been successful.

But this should have been something that only a few people knew about.

“You knew?”

“Yes, my master serves as the Inspection Envoy of the Reward Virtue Hall. He mentioned this matter when he visited Hall Master Chu yesterday, so I came to thank you.”

Chen Mobai didn’t really know that Shan Hongyi was also from the Reward Virtue Hall, but finally, his doubt was cleared up. He was under the impression that those few had loose lips and was reminding himself to be cautious about what he says in the future.

“I simply stood up for basic order and rules. For a sect to develop and become stronger, rules are the foundation. If they are broken in your case, who else would respect the genuine achievements of the sect in the future?”

Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Yu Lian felt enlightened but puzzled at the same time.

After all, in Tianhe Realm, the weak are prey to the strong. Order only serves the privileged. The interests of the lower echelons are only ensured and perpetuated when they do not conflict with the upper echelons.

“In the future, you can come to me whenever you have something you can’t handle.”

Although Yu Lian did not fully understand Chen Mobai’s Immortal Cultivation mindset, he knew that he should return the favor. He gave Chen Mobai his own pledge.

“You should focus on your cultivation.”

Chen Mobai shook his head. Although Yu Lian’s cultivation level was already supreme in Qi Cultivation, for Chen Moyai at the moment, Yu Lian could be crushed at a finger’s touch. Plus, Yu Lian has ties with the Silver Sky Sect’s Wang Gu Gate, and even if he successfully achieved Foundation Establishment in the future, he would likely not be at peace.

Moreover, his two disciples were very conscientious, and he currently didn’t need to use Yu Lian.

“Alright, then I will come to find you again after my Foundation Establishment next year.”

After leaving these words behind, Yu Lian left Chen Mobai’s courtyard.

After his departure, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming came out of the corner. Yu Lian did not hide himself, so they also felt unusual spiritual power fluctuation entering the courtyard from their own rooms.

“Master.”

“Yes, I will return to Xiao Nanshan tomorrow.”

Chen Mobai had long detected the presence of the two, and now that he had finished all his tasks in Divine Wood City, it was time to return to the Immortal Cultivation world.

“Master, we should come back with you.”

“No need. Wen Bo’s wound has not fully healed, so stay here to recuperate. As for Zhuo Ming, isn’t the business at the South Mountain Shop quite booming recently? You stay here to oversee the whole operation. After the wine is sold out then you can return.”

Because the Grade-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine had such good effects before, it has been gaining popularity among Foundation Establishment cultivators recently. However, after Chen Mobai sent it to Chu Zuoshu and Meng Hong and had them send ten jars to the two Gold Core elders, only half a vat was left.

He did not keep any for himself to drink, leaving it all for Zhuo Ming, instructing her to put a small jar in the South Mountain Shop every once in a while.

There are approximately 100 catties in a vat and 2 catties in a small jar, Chen Mobai left his little disciples with 20 jars of Grade-2 Spiritual Wine.

Each jar of Grade-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine was priced at 100 Spirit Stones.

Chen Mobai originally thought the price was already extremely high, but after leaving the South Mountain Shop, it was auctioned off for a price of 150 Spirit Stones.

As for this, all Chen Mobai could do was sigh. It’s always faster to make money by selling things related to boosting one’s cultivation level.

“Master, doesn’t that mean I might not be able to come back at all next year?”

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming’s small round face immediately showed a bitter expression.

While the Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine was selling well, there was still a stock of ordinary Jade Bud Spirit Wine made two years ago in the shop.

The spiritual wine isn’t very beneficial to cultivation, and no one usually buys it. If Zhuo Ming really needs to sell all the wine in the Xiao Nanshan Shop’s cellar before he can return, it’s very possible that he might be selling them until the annual Sect competition next year.

“You can come back anytime you want, you’re a grown man with your own legs, am I going to stop you?”

Only after hearing Chen Mobai’s words did Zhuo Ming feel reassured, promising that he would fulfill his task.

Early the next day.

As Chen Mobai was preparing to eat the simple breakfast prepared by his disciples, another guest arrived.

“Oh, coming early isn’t as good as coming at the right time, would you like to join us for a meal?”

When Zhuo Ming led Luo Yixuan in, Chen Mobai was eating boiled spirit chicken eggs.

These eggs are not generally available to the public. Liu Wenbo, who works in the Spirit Beasts Department, managed to get them. They came from a kind of spirit chicken domesticated by cultivators, rated the same grade as the Azure Blood Carp.

Ever since he improved his spiritual root by eating the Azure Blood Carp and Jade Bamboo shoots, Chen Mobai had developed a keen interest in tasting the various and bizarre spirit meals and spirit beasts in the Tianhe Realm.

Liu Wenbo knew about this, and whenever he had the chance, he would bring some of the poultry meat bred in the Spirit Beasts Department to let Chen Mobai taste.

However, so far, they had not yet found a third item that could enhance the spiritual root.

It can only be said that Liu Yanpei’s luck was against heaven. After eating the fish and bamboo he bred in the Water Mansion, they were found to be beneficial to the spiritual root.

“I came specifically to thank Uncle Master Chen, this is a little token of appreciation from our clan leader, I hope you will accept it.”

Luo Yixuan didn’t dare to take Chen Mobai’s politeness literally. She shook her head and untied a golden storage bag from her waist, holding it with both hands and handed it over with her head bowed.

Zhuo Ming immediately took it and happily placed it on Chen Mobai’s dining table.

“You this child, I didn’t say I will accept it.”

Chen Mobai shook his head, but since the item was already in front of him, it was only polite to take a look.

The storage bag had no seal. After Chen Mobai projected his divine sense into it, he saw a dazzling array of items, which turned out to be six hundred Spirit Stones.

“This should be prepared by you, shouldn’t it?”

Chen Mobai asked a question, Luo Yixuan’s body trembled, and then she revealed a bitter smile.

“Uncle Master Chen, please forgive me. It will take some time for my clan to mobilize resources. When I heard that you would be leaving Divine Wood City tomorrow, I used the Spirit Stones at hand to prepare a gift.”

Chen Mobai nodded after listening, indicating that he understood.

Such a test is bearable for him.

For him back in his Qi Cultivation days, six hundred Spirit Stones were a great fortune, but for him now, it was simply dispensable.

Seeing that he didn’t express acceptance, Luo Yixuan thought that the gift was too light. She bit her lip and took out a jade box from her sleeve and handed it to Zhuo Ming.

However, at this time, Zhuo Ming didn’t take it, but rather, he looked at Chen Mobai first.

“Bring it over.”

Chen Mobai was also a bit curious. After all, he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the stuff that Luo Yixuan presented with such gravity must be no ordinary item.

He opened the jade box to take a look, and it was instantly met with a refreshing and fragrant scent.

In the box, a small herb with five yellow and white round leaves and an exquisite stamen in the middle made its appearance. It seemed like the herb had been plucked for quite some time, but because it was well preserved, it retained eighty to ninety percent of its medicinal properties.

“Camelweed!”

Chen Mobai had not learned the herb identification courses in the academy for nothing over the past two years, he immediately recognized the origin of the herb.

However, what he said was the term used in Tianhe Realm. In the Immortal Cultivation world, this herb was called the “Ancient Duduo Lotus”. It was a rank-3 spirit grass that could be used to concoct Spirit Pills increasing strength and purifying Qi and blood, and was one of the main ingredients of the Foundation Building Pill.

The “Camelweed” presented by Luo Yixuan should have medicinal effects for two to three hundred years, and had just entered rank-3.

Even so, if it were put up for sale, it would be worth at least two to three thousand Spirit Stones.

“This item is the most precious one in our Luo family’s herbal fields.”

Luo Yixuan gently mentioned the origin of this item.
