Chapter 843 - 843 475 Zhuo Ming Foundation Establishment_2
Chapter 843: Chapter 475: Zhuo Ming Foundation Establishment_2 Chapter 843: Chapter 475: Zhuo Ming Foundation Establishment_2 “Hahaha, indeed, among my disciples, Ming’er, you are most like me.”
Chen Mobai laughed heartily as he descended from the sky with Liu Wenbo. Zhuo Ming, who had just undergone the body transformation that follows Foundation Establishment, immediately greeted him with a bow.
“Master, I achieved Foundation Establishment without taking a Foundation Building Pill. Will this cause any problems for my future cultivation advancement?”
Zhuo Ming came from the background of a Loose Cultivator, and had spent over a decade at Xiao Nanshan, deeply engrossed in farming and talisman drawing, thus truly unaware of the concept of Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment.
Her success in Foundation Establishment this time was also a bit bewildering.
While she was taking care of the six-mu Spirit Field embedded with Life Stones, she had inadvertently absorbed the Life Stone given to her by Chen Mobai. Today, she had just finished refining all the Earth Spirit Energy within it, when suddenly, the Spiritual Power of the Mother Earth Cultivation in her Dantian Qi Sea started operating on its own, drawing on the vitality of the earth beneath her feet.
In this process, Zhuo Ming’s heart and mind once again merged with the Earth Spirit, entering the process of Enlightenment and feeling the pulse of the thousand-acre Spirit Field centered on Xiao Nanshan, as well as the breathing of all living things rooted in the earth.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Zhuo Ming awoke naturally as if from a sleep.
She found herself seemingly within a ball of earth and couldn’t resist stretching out her hands to break the shell. However, she hadn’t expected she had already broken through in her cultivation, tearing it open easily.
Although she was confused, the breakthrough to the tenth layer of the Mother Earth Cultivation Technique, the Foundation Establishment Realm, made Zhuo Ming extremely happy.
But her happiness was followed by uncertainty about her inexplicable Foundation Establishment process, worried that she might have strayed into the Evil Path.
Seeing Chen Mobai appear, she greeted him and couldn’t help but ask.
“This is the highest form of Foundation Establishment. In the past, I too gained the opportunity to comprehend Foundation Establishment while traveling through mountains and rivers…”
Chen Mobai explained the concept of Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment to Zhuo Ming with a hearty laugh, taking the chance to polish his own reputation in front of his disciple, since his persona as an unrivaled genius was well established.
“So that’s how it is, Master. Then I won’t need that Foundation Building Pill, and it can be given to the eldest senior brother.”
After listening to the explanation, Zhuo Ming uttered a sentence that filled Liu Wenbo with excited tears.
“Zhuo Shimei, this this this…”
Liu Wenbo’s eyes brimmed with tears, and he became somewhat stammering. He then eagerly looked at Chen Mobai, as in the end, this matter would require the teacher’s approval, even if Zhuo Ming was willing.
“That Foundation Building Pill is Ming’er’s possession. Since she wishes to give it to you, her senior brother, it shows her respect and affection for you. You should accept it.”
Chen Mobai had originally planned to temper Liu Wenbo for a few more years before giving him his Foundation Building Pill. Now that Zhuo Ming had achieved Foundation Establishment through Enlightenment and had already offered it, he would naturally not disrupt the affectionate atmosphere among his disciples.
“Thank you, Master, thank you Zhuo Shimei!”
Liu Wenbo felt as though he had seen a light in the darkness. He had thought he would be sent to the margins after his first failure at Foundation Establishment, yet not only did Chen Mobai comfort him, but Zhuo Ming was also willing to give him the Foundation Building Pill. This kind of relationship between master and disciple, and among sect members, was simply unimaginable in the Eastern Wilderness.
“If it hadn’t been for following you to become a disciple back then, there wouldn’t be a me today. Perhaps that cause from that day was meant for today’s result.”
After her Foundation Establishment, Zhuo Ming’s entire demeanor and spirituality seemed renewed, uttering words that even surprised Chen Mobai.
“Wen Bo, go and fetch two jars of wine from the cellar. Ming’er, you will come with me to see the Sect Leader shortly, and it’s also a good time to collect the post-Foundation Establishment techniques for the Mother Earth Cultivation.”
No sooner had Chen Mobai finished speaking than Liu Wenbo excitedly headed to the nearby wine cellar.
Seizing the opportunity, Chen Mobai had Zhuo Ming channel some Spiritual Power to him.
[Metal 3, Wood 20, Water 21, Fire 9, Earth 50].
Observing Zhuo Ming’s Spiritual Root Value displayed on the screen of the Spirit-Testing Instrument in his palm, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but nod slightly.
Compared to before refining the Life Stone, Zhuo Ming’s Earth Spirit Root had increased by 3 points, previously being only 47 points.
This indicated that Life Stones, a precious type of ore, could enhance one’s Spiritual Root.
But it was unclear whether a single Life Stone could only increase the Earth Spirit Root by 3 points, or whether the reduction in effect was due to the part of the stone’s energy previously absorbed by the Divine Wood Sect’s Qi Cultivating Disciples.
Proving this was simple, as Chen Mobai had acquired another Life Stone from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion over the past two years. He took it out from his Storage Bag and handed it to Zhuo Ming.
“Since you’ve achieved Foundation Establishment with it, it seems you are fated to be with this Life Stone. Absorb another one, and then channel Spiritual Power to me again.”
Although Zhuo Ming was unaware of his reasons, she never questioned Chen Mobai’s orders, nodding earnestly as she took the Life Stone.
By this time, Liu Wenbo had also brought over two jars of Jade Spirit Wine. Chen Mobai asked him to handle the affairs following Zhuo Ming’s Foundation Establishment, while he took Zhuo Ming to Divine Wood City.
They visited Sect Leader Chu Zuoshu first. Chu, upon hearing of Zhuo Ming’s Foundation Establishment through Enlightenment, marveled and scrutinized this niece who had previously gone unnoticed.
“Little brother, not only is your cultivation talent outstanding, but your teaching skills are also top-notch. If I had been born a hundred years later, I would definitely have wished to become your disciple.”
Chen Mobai simply smiled in response to Chu Zuoshu’s comment.
After updating Zhuo Ming’s sect nameplate, she became recognized as a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Divine Wood Sect.
