Chapter 838 - 838 473 Longevity Dew_2
Chapter 838: Chapter 473 Longevity Dew_2 Chapter 838: Chapter 473 Longevity Dew_2 He felt that in these past years, due to his obsession with commerce, he had somewhat neglected his cultivation level and decided that after obtaining the Foundation Building Pill, he would begin seclusion, hoping to surpass Zhuo Ming in the Foundation Establishment realm and regain some of the dignity befitting the position of the eldest disciple.
After contemplating, Liu Wenbo took the initiative to discuss this matter with Chen Mobai.
“That is good,” Chen Mobai said. “No external object is as important as one’s own cultivation level. It just so happens that Xuan is about to leave the mountain to help me with a task after her successful Foundation Establishment, so let’s hand over the Little Nan Mountain Shop to her.”
Chen Mobai was an advocate of the Sect of Realms. Even if Liu Wenbo had not mentioned it, he had planned to do so, and he even wanted Zhuo Ming to start preparing for Foundation Establishment.
“Master, I feel that the first layer of my Ninefold Law Body is still insufficient. Moreover, spring is about to arrive, and it’s time to sow the new Green Jade Spirit Rice seeds. I think I’ll wait until the eldest disciple successfully establishes his foundation before going into seclusion,” Zhuo Ming said.
Zhuo Ming shook her head and declined, but mainly because, despite being ranked as the foremost true disciple, she still lacked confidence in her own Foundation Establishment.
She believed that her status as the number one true disciple was purely due to the Divine Wood Shield and her reliance on the Spirit Rice resources of Little Nan Mountain to cultivate her Ninefold Law Body. In reality, her Spirit Root Talent was still not as good as Xi Jinghuo’s or Ding Ying’s.
“That’s also fine. As for Foundation Establishment, one should only attempt it when they feel the time is ripe to have a high chance of success,” Chen Mobai replied.
Chen Mobai did not force Zhuo Ming. He always allowed his disciples to develop according to their own nature, without distinction in teaching.
“Master, the Golden Jade Axe is being returned,” Liu Wenbo said.
After speaking, Liu Wenbo took out the Golden Jade Axe that Chen Mobai had lent him from his storage bag, and Zhuo Ming immediately handed over the Divine Wood Shield as well.
“Xuan, it won’t do for you to be without a magic artifact by your side when you leave to handle affairs. Moreover, you have succeeded in your Foundation Establishment and I have not yet given you a celebratory gift. The Divine Wood Shield and your Divine Wood Sword are a set and offer strong defense; I will gift it to you,” Chen Mobai said.
Chen Mobai took the Wooden Shield, removed the Divine Sense he had infused into it, and passed it to Luo Yixuan, who was beside him.
“Master, this is too precious!” Luo Yixuan said, her face full of surprise. But over the years, she had come to understand Chen Mobai’s character, and she raised her hands, a little excitedly accepting the Divine Wood Shield.
“Take it. I will tell you the refining mantra; listen carefully,” Chen Mobai instructed.
While Chen Mobai spoke, Luo Yixuan held the Divine Wood Shield tightly in her hands, listening intently and feeling a surge of happiness within her heart.
Her Rank-2 magic artifact, the Divine Wood Sword, and Divine Wood Shield, were both given to her by Chen Mobai. Even blood-related fathers and daughters did not enjoy such treatment.
In the entirety of the Eastern Wilderness, there was no better teacher to be found!
As Chen Mobai distributed the Divine Wood Shield to Luo Yixuan, he also noticed the envious gazes of Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming and couldn’t help but smile slightly, pulling the Flying Sparrow Hairpin from his hair bun.
“Wenbo, as my first disciple, this Flying Sword that earned a formidable reputation with me in the Eastern Wilderness will be passed on to you,” Chen Mobai said.
“Master, your disciple has not yet completed Foundation Establishment; I am truly apprehensive!” Liu Wenbo replied.
After hearing this, Liu Wenbo immediately knelt down before Chen Mobai, repeatedly shaking his hands, indicating that he, still in the Qi Cultivating Realm, was not fit to inherit the Flying Sparrow Hairpin!
“You are too modest, child. If I give it to you, take it. Moreover, this item is of no use to me anymore. You already possess the Green Scale Arm Guard for protection. Adding this Flying Sparrow Hairpin for offense is just right,” Chen Mobai insisted.
Hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Liu Wenbo finally accepted the exquisitely delicate Flying Sparrow Hairpin with trembling hands.
It could be said that the reputation of Chen Mobai as the number one sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect was largely built by this Flying Sword.
After receiving the Flying Sword, Liu Wenbo felt that the responsibility of being the eldest disciple had just become heavier!
He must not disappoint his Master again!
Embracing this determination, Liu Wenbo told himself that he must succeed in Foundation Establishment.
“Ming’er, you possess the Ninefold Law Body with strong defenses, but you lack offensive power. This Golden Jade Axe is a Rank-2 top-notch magic artifact, which is very suitable for you,” Chen Mobai said.
As treasures were being distributed, Chen Mobai naturally did not overlook his second esteemed disciple. He handed the Golden Jade Axe, returned by Liu Wenbo, to Zhuo Ming.
“Many thanks, Master!” Zhuo Ming replied.
Seeing that her brother and sister had accepted their gifts, Zhuo Ming did not refuse and took the Golden Jade Axe, swinging it around with one hand, increasingly pleased with it.
The Golden Jade Axe was quite simple to activate: one only had to infuse it with Spiritual Power.
After the three disciples memorized the sacrificial refining mantra, they once again collectively offered their thanks to Chen Mobai.
“Wenbo, if you are preparing for Foundation Establishment, find a place within my Longevity Wood Dojo for seclusion. Xuan, don’t forget your task in the Divine Tree Secret Realm tomorrow; remember you just need to visit the Magic Treasure Tree and the Talent Tree,” Chen Mobai instructed.
Chen Mobai entrusted the management of Little Nan Mountain along with the surrounding seven Spirit Mountains and thousand mu of Spirit Fields to Zhuo Ming, as from then on, he would predominantly cultivate within the Fourth Grade Superior Spirit Vein of the Everlife Wood, meticulously honing his Essence, Qi, and Spirit in preparation for Core Formation.
Zhuo Ming nodded. In terms of farming, she was confident that within the Sect, only her Master surpassed her.
Since Zeng Woyou’s Foundation Building Pills were refined in batches, their availability on the shelves varied. As the number one true disciple, Zhuo Ming could exchange for it first, but she gave this opportunity to Liu Wenbo.
Liu Wenbo initially hesitated but then thanked Zhuo Ming sincerely. Under Chen Mobai’s arrangement, he became the first to exchange for the Foundation Building Pill and began his seclusion.
The Longevity Wood soared into the clouds; Chen Mobai found a thick branch and built a wooden cabin on it.
