Chapter 451: Chapter 323 Intimate Disciple_1
One day, Chen Mobai was observing the hybrid spiritual rice sown in the spring with Zhuo Ming.
Some are double-cropping and now we can observe the adaptability of the finished product.
“Focus on these five in the future. After the rest are harvested, you can use them to brew wine.”
After looking at all the spiritual rice, Chen Mobai confirmed that the five hybrid spiritual rices were within the feasibility range of adapting to Rank-2 earth qi, and asked Zhuo Ming to remember them.
The ones used to make wine are the failed products of cultivating Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.
Over these years, besides the spiritual rice contributed to the sect, Zhuo Ming uses the remaining to brew wine. Because the price of selling it directly is too low and it’s not as popular as fasting pills.
Thanks to the excellent yeast Chen Mobai brought from his hometown, the wine he brewed was quite good, each with a unique flavor. Infused with various herbs, it has now become a unique local flavor of Divine Wood City.
When people mention South Mountain Shop, even those keen on cultivating in the sect know that the wine from this shop is exceptional.
At this time, a young girl in a moon-white gown, with a delicate figure and exquisite face, but somewhat pale, walked over.
“Greetings, Master.”
Chen Mobai looked at Luo Yixuan with slight surprise. Although the poisonous gas from the Bead that Breaks Meridians did not affect his disciple’s Flame Lighting Technique much, it still damaged her vitality. After returning to the mountain, he asked both her and Liu Wenbo to focus on healing.
“Didn’t I tell you to rest? Why are you here again?”
“Five green wood evils have been put up at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. Master, you asked me to keep an eye on it. So, as soon as I got the news, I rushed over.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai showed a trace of joy. Chu Zuoshu lived up to his position as Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall and presumably the next sect leader, for he actually managed to get Xie Yuntian to give up five green wood evils.
“Ming’er, prepare some good wine. I will go to thank Hall Master Chu.”
Although Zhuo Ming was not quite certain why Chen Mobai was so delighted, she obediently went to the wine cellar and fetched a small jug of precious Rank-2 Spiritual Wine, as well as five jugs of different types of Rank-1 Spiritual Wine.
Luo Yixuan carried the wine and followed Chen Mobai as he flew towards Divine Wood City.
In the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, Chen Mobai showed his own sect nameplate, and a familiar Foundation Establishment cultivator came out.
This person’s name is Chen Zhenwu. He is also one of the Inspection Envoys of the Reward Virtue Hall. On the battlefield of Rolling Thunder Mountain, Chen Mo Bai and he assisted Chu Zuoshu in practicing the Azure Light Formation together. They chatted a bit because of their shared surname.
“Brother Chen, it’s great to meet you again in our sect.”
Chen Zhenwu is also one of the rotating head elders of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. This month is his duty, and he needs to handle the exchange of precious items such as Foundation Building Pills in person.
Chen Mobai wasn’t in a hurry to exchange for the Green Wood Evil. As long as everything has been arranged by Chu Zuoshu, the Evil was up for sale and the person who could handle the exchange was in front of him, then it meant these five Greens Wood evils were for him.
Many Qi Cultivation disciples were in the main hall, and their faces showed respect when they saw the two Foundation Establishment elders.
“Brother Chen, let’s talk inside.”
Chen Zhenwu led Chen Mobai and his disciple into a partition on the second floor of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, where a pot of tea was already brewing.
“Although the sect possesses Green Wood Evil, it has always been regarded as taboo by the Sword Cultivation Division, so it has not been on sale in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to avoid being exchanged out. Chu Hall Master had to ask Fu Inspector specially to act as the middleman, and they both invited Xie Division Head for tea, with multiple pleas to reluctantly agree to let go of the five Green Wood Evil. Brother Chen, you should remember this favor.”
Chen Zhenwu is not really Chu Zuoshu’s man, but a direct subordinate of Fu Huakun, inspector of the Reward Virtue Hall.
After Chu Zuoshu has been confirmed to be the next Sect Leader, the position of Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall has naturally become the goal of those who have ambitions.
The most likely candidates are Vice Hall Master Luo Xue’er and Inspector Fu Huakun.
Among them, Fu Huakun has the support of Elder Fu, but doesn’t have as much experience as Luo Xue’er.
Luo Xue’er, being a Shenmu Hall native and a direct descendant of the Sect Leader, has once served as the inspector of the Alchemy Division and the head of the Spirit Plant Division, and thus has a wide network of connections.
However, as the final battle on the frontline has not yet ended, both people are restrained and are only secretly trying to win over those who have the voting power.
As one of the inspectors of the Reward Virtue Hall, Chen Mobai also has a vote.
“Inspector Fu stood up for me during the Rolling Thunder Mountain Battlefield. Naturally, I lean towards him.”
Even though it was ultimately Chen Mobai who faced off against Mu Hanxiong, this favor is certainly worth remembering.
Also, if Fu Huakun truly helped with the matter of Green Wood Evil, Chen Mobai would support him even more.
Even though Luo Xue’er is more likely to succeed the Reward Virtue Hall, in politics, even if you have mistaken positions, you cannot give people the impression of being mean and ungrateful.
Chen Zhenwu mentioned the key points of the matter.
Xie Yuntian, as the head of the Sword Cultivation Division, has great prestige due to his strong fighting power, and is considered the first among the twelve divisions. However, although he has practiced Sword Light, another key to Condensing Sword Demons, Qingyang Fire, has not yet fully integrated.
The Qingyang Fire Seeds that have been placed on sale by the sect in recent decades have all been exchanged by Xie Yuntian.
As the only Sword Cultivator in the sect who has practiced Sword Light besides Chen Mobai, it is only a matter of time before Xie Yuntian completes Qingyang Fire Seed. If he wanted to monopolize Green Wood Evil, no one would dare to disrespect him.
