Chapter 719: Chapter 430: Big Harvest_1
“I am inclined to trade with you on this matter.”
After Chen Mobai said this, Lan Lingping was waiting for the key part of his sentence.
“However, after all, this involves Master Kong, I need to report this to the Sect Leader and even the two elders.”
After hearing this, Lan Lingping naturally nodded. Once matters involved a Golden Core Cultivator, although both of them were considered in the upper ranks of their own sects, it was generally best if both elders personally reached an agreement, as this was more reliable.
After all, there were too many instances of ruthlessness in the Eastern Wilderness.
“Elder Chen, I hope you can speak well for us to your sect’s two elders. This gift is just a token of our goodwill, please accept it.”
After the negotiation, Lan Lingping smiled as she took a jade box out of her storage bag and placed it on the tea table.
Chen Mobai took it and opened it, feeling a bone-chilling cold gust. It was a light blue, fist-sized, partially translucent crystal.
Without Lan Lingping’s introduction, Chen Mobai already knew that this item was the “Cold Ice Condensing Crystal” he was looking for.
“I will try my best to convince the Sect Leader and the two elders.”
Chen Mobai accepted this gift with satisfaction and said so.
In fact, the Fire Spirit Rice was his own Spirit Plant. Even if he agreed on the spot, the sect would not object. The main reason for his roundabout request was not only to respect the sect, but also to see if he could gain some more benefits from this.
Lan Lingping obviously understood this, as she directly presented the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal, which made him extremely pleased.
“Then I’ll wait here for the good news from Elder Chen.”
Chen Mobai instructed Liu Wenbo to stay with the two women, while he himself used the Teleportation Array to quickly return to Giant Tree Ridge.
“Brother Chen, you’ve done a great job this time.”
In the Shenmu Hall, Chu Zuoshu was pleasantly surprised after hearing Chen Mobai’s report.
The Fire Spirit Rice was just a common Spirit Plant in his view. If it could be exchanged for Snow-blowing Palace’s non-interference, he would even be willing to give them the sect’s secret Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.
“Some days ago, I made a breakthrough in my Cultivation Level and was once again teleported to the Divine Tree Secret Realm. I obtained a blueprint of a thing called Purple Sun Puppet on the Talent Tree. I thought it might be useful to elder Fu.”
At this point, Chen Mobai gave Chu Zuoshu another big surprise.
Although Chu Zuoshu was not proficient in Puppetry Technique, he was clear about the grading of puppets. Upon learning that the Purple Sun Puppet was actually Rank-3 high-grade, his face showed a shocked expression.
“Brother Chen, please wait a moment. I will inform the two elders immediately.”
Chu Zuoshu took two talismans and bowed in the direction of the three Divine Woods. The talismans turned into a green smoke rising, and then condensed into the images of Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue.
The two elders were recently both outside the sect negotiating alliances, but to prevent any incidents from happening at the sect’s main base, Chu Zuoshu was able to contact them directly with these Mirage Scribing Talismans.
After Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue heard Chu Zuoshu’s report, their eyes sparkled brightly.
“Just wait a moment, I will send my Puppet Body over.”
Upon hearing about the Purple Sun Puppet, the image of Fu Zongjue didn’t keep up the pretense, and after a while, a green Escaping Light rose from an Everlife Wood and descended into the Shenmu Hall.
This Puppet Body flew directly to Chen Mobai who immediately took out the finished, a detailed sketch of the Purple Sun Puppet from his storage bag. After Fu Zongjue inspected it, he looked delighted.
“Very good, very good. With this, I can upgrade my Puppet Body again. By that time, even if I have a one-on-one fight with Ji Zhenshi, I can truly put up a fight.”
Laughing heartily, Fu Zongjue looked at Chen Mobai with very satisfied eyes, even came over and affectionately patted Chen Mobai’s shoulder.
However, because it was a Puppet Body, Chen Mobai felt its hand was rather stiff, and his shoulder felt slightly painful.
“Reporting to the two elders, besides this, there is also the matter of the Snow-blowing Palace, which I need to report to you…”
At this time, Chu Zuoshu also came over and reported the second piece of good news to Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue. Upon hearing this, the two laughed uproariously. With all these good things happening at the same time, it seemed as if heaven was on the side of the Divine Wood Sect.
Fu Zongjue said, “It just so happens that I have a Puppet Body lurking in Rock Country, I’ll run to Snow Country and meet with Kong Lingling.”
Concerning the war of the sects, only the promises and vows between the Golden Core Cultivators could gain the trust of both parties.
After Chen Mobai and Lan Lingping finished their conversation, they already understood this. Hence, they asked to report back to the sect.
“Two elders, how should we reward Brother Chen for his two major contributions?”
At this time, Chu Zuoshu was seeking merit for Chen Mobai, as the latter was his direct disciple.
“The Purple Sun Puppet is very important to me, but to play a reversal role in the war, only the four of us can know about it. Here’s what we’ll do, I’ll personally give Nephew Chen 100,000 Spirit Stones, and after the Purple Sun Puppet is revealed, award him another 100,000 contribution points in the name of the sect and announce his merit. Brother, what do you think?”
Fu Zongjue had always had a high regard for Chen Mobai. Now, through him, he had gained the Purple Sun Puppet, which made him even more pleased. He promptly gave a huge reward.
“Good point. While the Snow-blowing Palace matter may not be as impactful as the Purple Sun Puppet, it is still a considerable achievement. Since we can’t award contribution points for now to avoid letting outsiders lurking within the sect catch wind of it, I will use something else as a substitute.”
