Chapter 587: Chapter 383: Yuhu Market_1
After chatting with Yue Zutao for a while, Chen Mobai mentioned the matter of the Yellow Skin Gourd.
“If you need it, brother, you can take it,” Yue Zutao said.
Yue had long since refined the Mysterious Yin Sha inside the gourd into God Thunderbolts. If Chen Mobai hadn’t spoken about it, he would have completely forgotten about this gourd, which he usually kept at the bottom of his storage bag.
“Thank you, Brother Yue,” said Chen Mobai.
He set down the two jars of wine, picked up the Yellow Skin Gourd, and made his excuses to leave.
“The Wang family of Tiankui was left behind by a deceased senior brother of mine. Now that you’re the town guard of Jian Country, I ask that you please look after them,” Yue Zutao said, just before Chen Mobai left.
“Of course,” said Chen Mobai, recalling the history of the Wang family after a brief thought.
Liu Ruzhong, the previous Town Guard, had once told him about the Wang family’s lineage. The Wang family were the descendants of Jojo Ou’s disciple, and Chu Zuoshu was also one of Jojo Ou’s disciples, which matched up perfectly with what Yue Zutao just said.
After leaving Yue Zutao, Chen Mobai went to the Reward Virtue Hall to receive the order from the sect allowing him to leave.
In the Divine Wood Sect, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator wanted to leave the sect when not on a mission, they would have to report to their respective hall and then have the case reported up to the Shenmu Hall.
Once the order from the Shenmu Hall was approved, it would be sent back to the Reward Virtue Hall.
“The Luo family of Huanbo Market is my own family, with the current head being my younger brother. I ask that you take good care of them in the next ten years,” Luo Xue’er, the acting hall master of the Reward Virtue Hall, said with a smile after exchanging a few words with Chen Mobai.
Coming out of the Reward Virtue Hall, Chen Mobai deeply understood the meaning of what Liu Ruzhong had said before.
All seven large families of Jian Country had deep-rooted relationships with the Divine Wood Sect. Even though he was representing the Divine Wood Sect, he would have to be extremely careful in dealing with them.
However, Chen Mobai had no intention of extorting resources from the cultivator families of Jian Country, so he just needed to abide by the rules and consider the Divine Wood Sect as his backing.
Chu Zuoshu had taken a group of people to Golden Cliff, so Chen Mobai didn’t stay in the Divine Wood City for long and immediately returned to Xiao Nanshan.
The Shenmu Hall directly managed two departments: the Transmission Department and the Witchcraft Department.
The Transmission Department was responsible for all clerical work in the sect, such as maintaining the Book Pavilion where the Cultivation Techniques and the Hundred Arts of the Cultivation Immortal are kept.
When Chen Mobai’s application to leave the sect and inspect the five markets of Jian Country had been stamped by the Reward Virtue Hall and the Shenmu Hall, a copy of it was delivered to the Transmission Department.
After checking the document, a cultivator named Du Feng with an average appearance nodded and handed it to a Qi Practitioner who put it on a shelf in the order of the date.
At the end of the day, Du Feng left the department and returned to his rented house. He carefully set up a Protective Array and then took out a special Talisman paper, on which he wrote down all the details about Chen Mobai’s trip.
After writing, Du Feng burned the piece of talisman paper.
In a Cave Dwelling on a small Spirit Vein outside the Giant Tree Ridge, a cultivator who was currently meditating with a Spirit Stone suddenly opened his eyes. He picked up one of the weirdly patterned talisman papers on the stone table which was blank in the middle.
He injected his Spiritual Power into it and, in a manner akin to a magic trick, the content that Du Feng had written on the paper he burned appeared in the blank part of the talisman paper.
“Finally, it’s here,” said the cultivator who had been waiting here for almost a year. His voice was excited.
Using the same method, he burnt the paper and sent the content to the person in charge of Huangquan in Yuhu Market.
It didn’t take long for all the Foundation Establishment cultivators involved in the ambush plan to learn about Chen Mobai’s trip.
After a final check of his five black Array Flags and sensing the roaring Spiritual Power within his body, Yuan Hongyuan confidently walked down from Black Cloud Mountain.
“Master, the quality of these talisman papers is almost reaching Rank-2,” said Zhuo Ming, a Talisman Maker, as she looked at the bound Talisman papers brought by three disciples.
“You three can each take ten bundles for your personal use,” said Chen Mobai.
On hearing this, Zhuo Ming immediately took his words ungraciously.
Luo Yixuan and Liu Wenbo, who came from a family background and devoted themselves to improving their Cultivation Levels instead of learning Talisman-making, were startled because the talisman papers were of no use to them.
“Sister Zhuo, you can take mine,” said Luo Yixuan smartly, immediately giving her ten bundles of talisman papers to Zhuo Ming.
“This…”
“Just take it, sister. We don’t know how to make talismans,” Liu Wenbo also said. Zhuo Ming glanced at Chen Mobai and, seeing that he had no objections, happily put them into her storage bag.
“Ming, take an additional hundred bundles. They will be sold in the Xiao Nanshan Shop in the future.”
After the three disciples had taken their share, Chen Mobai suddenly gave a piece of good news to Zhuo Ming, making her overjoyed.
Although the talisman papers were not hers, having them in her storage bag still made her, a Talisman Maker, feel extraordinarily fulfilled.
“Master, how should we price these talisman papers?” asked Zhuo Ming, touching the tough, delicate, and clean talisman papers with smooth Spiritual Power transmission.
“The same as the market price, one Spirit Stone for a bundle,” Chen Mobai replied.
Hearing what Chen Mobai said, Zhuo Ming looked up at him in surprise.
