"Meet the Master!"
As soon as Chen Mobai landed, Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan immediately saluted him.
"Master, I destroyed the Green Scale Armguard you gave me while I was overcoming the tribulation. I feel really guilty about that."
Liu Wenbai reached out and picked up the fish scale fragments on the ground, and said apologetically.
"This Green Scale Armguard is only of the second level after all. It's just right that it was broken when I was overcoming the tribulation. I killed that poisonous dragon before and got some fifth-level scales. I will refine and refurbish it for you."
Chen Mobai didn't care at all. Although his four disciples had arranged the embryos of their own magical instruments in advance, and each had at least one third-level one after the formation of the pill, but as disciples of him, a master of instrument refining, and living in such a dangerous world as the Tianhe Realm, they had to carry at least two or three with them to feel safe.
It just so happened that he had made great progress in weapon refining and had a lot of precious materials on hand, so he planned to upgrade the magic weapons of several of his disciples.
"The disciple bows to thank the master for his kindness!"
When Liu Wenbai heard this, he was greatly surprised.
A magical weapon made of fifth-level materials? I'm afraid that even if I encounter a Yuanying monster, I can still stop it.
"Meet the leader!"
At this time, E Yun and Song Huangda also came over. After paying their respects, they talked about Xiao Yuli's situation.
When Chen Mobai heard it, he looked and saw a beautiful female cultivator standing not far away, with eyebrows like a crescent moon and delicate features.
"Please come quickly."
Chen Mobai spoke up immediately. No matter what, their Five Elements Sect's Hunyuan Patriarch came from the Yiyuan Taoist Palace, so he should be shown due respect.
Moreover, this is a good opportunity to solve my identity problem.
"Xiao Yuli from Yiyuan Dao Palace, nice to meet Senior Chen."
After Xiao Yuli followed E Yun over, she was also very polite.
"Fellow Taoist, please sit down."
In Chen Mobai's small courtyard on the top of the mountain, there is a tea table under the longevity tree, with several wooden stools. If Zhou Shengqing and others are here on weekdays, they often drink tea and chat here.
After the two sat down, Liu Wenbai went back to his cave to consolidate his realm, while E Yun and Song Huangda said goodbye and left.
Only Luo Yixuan stayed behind on the pretext of helping to make tea, and Chen Mobai followed her.
Xiao Yuli: "Senior, I came here mainly to ask you one thing."
Chen Mobai: "Please speak."
Xiao Yuli: "My senior brother Chen Lingming separated from me two years ago. He said he would come to the East Desert to talk to you. I wonder if you have met my senior brother."
Chen Mobai: “No!”
Chen Mobai was very sure about this because after he came back from the East, he stayed in Wanhua Fairy City for a year with Qingnv to refine the Pure Yang Condensing Pill. Then he returned to the Fairy Gate to take pills to improve his cultivation for another year. Then he spent another half a year learning the art of refining instruments to refine Qingnv's three magic instruments.
In the past three years, at least in the Eastern Wilderness, he has not seen any outsiders.
"In this case, it seems that my senior brother might have been in trouble."
After hearing Chen Mobai's answer, Xiao Yuli sighed.
"Oh, how do you say this?"
Chen Mobai was full of confusion. How come something happened to this person without him seeing it?
Xiao Yuli: "It's like this. More than two years ago, he and I went down the mountain together. We split into two groups. I went to Xingtian Dao Sect to exchange for the Three Lights Divine Water in the name of Dao Palace, while he came to the East Wasteland to discuss the matter of the Land Reclamation Order with you, Senior."
Xiao Yuli: "Xingtian Dao Sect said that they have no stock of Sanguang Divine Water and need to collect materials to refine it again. So I have been traveling in the major immortal cities in the East to gain more knowledge."
Xiao Yuli: "Half a year ago, Xingtian Dao Sect sent a message saying that the Three Lights Divine Water had been refined and that they had taken the initiative to help deliver it to Wudi Mountain. I rushed back after receiving the news, but learned that my senior brother had never returned, but his soul lamp was still on, so the elders of Dao Palace sent me to Donghuang to inquire with the seniors."
After listening to this, Chen Mobai nodded slightly, but thought of another thing.
"The Xingtian Dao Sect has always misunderstood that I am a disciple of the Yiyuan Dao Palace. Now that Daoist Fellow has gone there, I think we should clarify this matter."
Xingtian Dao Sect had been trying to contact Yiyuan Dao Palace for the sake of the Tongsheng Zhenling Pill. Xiao Yuli had taken the initiative to come to them this time, so there was no reason not to talk about it. But Chen Mobai didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he didn't ask. He mainly wanted to clarify his identity.
"My dear senior, because the Taoist and the Saintess of the Taoist Palace had an accident before, Chen Lingming and I did not reveal our identities to outsiders when we went down the mountain this time. Although Xingtian Dao Sect also asked, I only said that I was following the orders of the elders of the sect to exchange for the Three Lights Divine Water. Later, when Master Xingji sent the Three Lights Divine Water to Wudi Mountain, I heard that he had exchanges with several mountain masters, but I didn't know what they talked about specifically because I was outside at the time."
After listening to Xiao Yuli's words, Chen Mobai nodded slightly. At this time, Luo Yixuan had already brewed the Green Chan Spirit Tea and handed a cup to both of them.
"I will inform the people below that if we find Fellow Daoist Chen Lingming of your sect in the Eastern Wilderness, I will inform you immediately."
Chen Mobai had a need for the secret methods of ascension and other things treasured in the Yiyuan Taoist Palace, so he showed his goodwill.
"Thank you, senior. I came here for another matter."
Xiao Yuli's words made Chen Mobai pause in drinking his tea.
This should be the real thing!
"About a decade and a half later, Daode Sect will issue a wasteland reclamation order, and the four major holy places in the East will have to send people to participate. However, because my Yiyuan Dao Palace has been severely injured in order to resist Mingzun, it has been closed to the outside world, and may not be able to send enough people at that time. It happens that the East Wasteland is close to the front line of wasteland reclamation. I wonder if you are willing to lead the Five Elements Sect and take over the wasteland reclamation order on behalf of my Yiyuan Dao Palace."
After listening to this, Chen Mobai put down the teacup in his hand and directly refused: "My Five Elements Sect is weak and cannot take on such a big task. I'm afraid this matter needs to be handled by your sect yourself."
He had been walking on thin ice in the Eastern Wilderness all his life. If he hadn't been refining the Pure Yang Condensing True Pill, he wouldn't even have gone to the East, let alone do such a risky thing as opening up the wasteland.
With the construction of East Wilderness and the resources of the three border areas of East Continent, coupled with the knowledge of the Immortal Sect, Chen Mobai felt that there would be no bottleneck before he became a god, so he had already made up his mind that he would never go out to take risks unless it was necessary.
"Please don't be so quick to refuse, senior. Several mountain masters of the Dao Palace said that if you are willing to take on this responsibility, when the land reclamation is completed, they are willing to let your Five Elements Sect return to the main vein of the Five Emperors Mountain. They can even teach you the secret method of ascension left by the ancestors."
Xiao Yuli stated the conditions of Yiyuan Taoist Palace. If it were anyone else, hearing the four words "secret method of ascension", they would probably have been excited.
But Chen Mobai remained calm. The threshold for practicing and comprehending the secret method of ascension was at least the Spirit Transformation Realm.
He still has a long way to go before he can achieve spiritual enlightenment, so there is no need to rush.
Moreover, although there are no successful examples of Lianxu in the immortal sect, the several major incarnation techniques, plus the seven heavenly books, all have guides leading to the path of Lianxu. As for the secret method of ascension left by Yiyuan Zhenjun, even if it has been successfully practiced, there is no need for him to worry about it now.
"I appreciate your kindness, but my Five Elements Sect is a small sect and cannot get involved in such a big event as land reclamation."
Chen Mobai still refused. He had worked hard and cultivated people in the Eastern Wilderness for nearly a hundred years to gather just this few men. He did not intend to be the vanguard of the Holy Land.
"Senior, why don't you consider it again? If you agree, the mountain masters will be willing to welcome you as their junior brother, and you will be the legitimate disciple of our Yiyuan Dao Palace. If you make great contributions during the land reclamation and obtain a Tongsheng Zhenling Pill for the Dao Palace, the position of Palace Master and the secret method of Ascension will all be yours."
Seeing that Chen Mobai was not moved, Xiao Yuli directly stated the bottom line given by several mountain masters of the Taoist Palace.
"This tea is good, you can drink two more cups."
Chen Mobai smiled and raised the teacup that Luo Yixuan had refilled. When Xiao Yuli saw his unshakable attitude, she knew it was impossible.
"In that case, please keep this matter confidential."
"Today, you just came to drink tea with me."
After Chen Mobai finished saying this, Xiao Yuli did not stay. After she finished the tea in her hand, she said goodbye.
"Since you are here, why don't you stay in Beiyuan City for a few more days? Although the things here are not as good as those in the fairy cities in the East, they are also unique."
Chen Mobai politely tried to persuade Xiao Yuli to stay, but Xiao Yuli hesitated and actually agreed.
"Xuan'er is more familiar with this place. If you have any questions, you can look for her."
Chen Mobai certainly wouldn't take her around, so he assigned her to his apprentice.
After hearing this, Luo Yixuan immediately nodded and led Xiao Yuli out.
Watching the two women leaving, Chen Mobai put down the teacup in his hand and carefully savored the conditions offered by Yiyuan Taoist Palace.
Apparently, the impact of Mingzun's attack on the mountain was more serious than people imagined.
Such a holy place doesn't dare to open its gate until now.
I'm afraid that in addition to the loss of the God Transformation level's foundation, the power of the entire Yiyuan Taoist Palace's high-level cultivators has also been lost a lot.
However, those high-ranking Taoist priests guarding the mountain gate are somewhat like cloaking in idleness. They want the Five Elements Sect to take their place and work for them, but do not give them any real benefits. Moreover, they are still fussing about matters of seniority. It is obvious that the comfortable days of closing the mountain have made them unable to keep up with the times.
If the secret method of ascension was directly given to Chen Mobai, and his status as the disciple of Yiyuan Zhenjun was acknowledged at the same time, or the quota for Tongsheng Zhenling Pill was given to Wuxing Sect, perhaps he would consider it.
Now they are just thinking about making big promises, and no one will be fooled.
Chen Mobai was deeply saddened to see that the descendants of an ascended monk had fallen into such a state.
You know, he had a very good impression of Yiyuan Taoist Temple before, and even thought that if the time was right in the future, he would go to Wudi Mountain to worship Li Zhongji's tablet and trace his ancestry.
Now it seems that we can only wait until he becomes a god, and then send him in openly.
Just when Chen Mobai was estimating the current strength of Yiyuan Dao Palace, Luo Yixuan flew back.
"Master, I roughly told her the rules of the Eastern Wasteland, and then she said she wanted to go around on her own, so I came back first."
After hearing her words, Chen Mobai nodded.
As long as he is in Beiyuan City, a mere cultivator who has reached the perfect Jindan stage will not be able to cause any trouble.
"Call E Yun up. Since we've promised her, we have to look for her. What if she's really in our Eastern Wasteland?"
After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Luo Yixuan immediately took out the Tongtianyi and called E Yun.
Not long after, E Yun and Song Huangda came to the yard.
After talking about Chen Lingming, they both nodded immediately.
With the deployment of the small sky dome Big Dipper formation, coupled with the efforts of the Five Elements Sect disciples, the China Unicom signal now covers the entire Eastern Wilderness, part of the Yunmeng Lake and the ruins, as well as Mingjing Mountain.
Song Huangda is the main person in charge and E Yun is his superior. If there is any important information, E Yun will directly inform Chen Mobai.
Then, E Yun reported on the situation of the Five Elements Sect in recent years.
After Chen Mobai killed the Poison Dragon Ancestor, the Five Elements Sect no longer had any enemies and entered a period of rapid development.
The major immortal cities, the six great palaces, the earth network formation, the fifth-level spiritual veins, filling the Yunmeng Lake, agricultural reform, the five-element currency...
Among them, the issuance of the Five Elements Coin has achieved great success. It has also completely activated the originally stagnant sinking market. Previously, the Five Elements Sect vigorously developed infrastructure. Because of its size, it basically enriched those immortal cultivation families and sects. The most that independent cultivators can earn is some hard labor spirit stones.
Moreover, because Chen Mobai was developing real estate in the Eastern Wilderness, the spirit stones earned by these independent cultivators were then sucked back into the Five Elements Sect. Although the upper-class economy was prosperous, the lower-class economy was not doing well.
Now, the emergence of the Five Elements Coin directly solves the biggest currency problem in underlying economic transactions.
Economic growth has created more job opportunities, especially in major stores, which need more service staff. Economic prosperity has also increased consumption levels, making the basic necessities that were originally only enjoyed by upper-class monks now available to more monks.
"There is a problem. Since it is quite expensive to hire a monk to work, many shops have started to train mortals themselves..."
E Yun talked about the situation that has occurred in recent years. Because the major immortal cities of the Five Elements Sect do not prohibit the entry and exit of local people from the Eastern Wilderness, there are many mortals without spiritual roots who live in them with their dreams.
Some of them are secular princes and nobles, some are martial arts masters among mortals, and some are even descendants of immortal cultivators.
Although these people do not have spiritual roots, they have no problem doing simple jobs such as serving as waiters.
This resulted in the lower-level monks, who had just enjoyed a few years of good life, once again falling into the dilemma of internal competition with mortals.
This is mainly because Zhuo Ming completed the major agricultural reform in Donghuang according to Chen Mobai's requirements, so that all mortals can now have enough food as long as they are willing to work hard.
After eating, people start to think more.
When seeking immortality, the thought of wanting to live forever comes to mind.
E Yun expressed his thoughts. He was in favor of protecting immortal cultivators and wanted to set up a threshold for entering the Immortal City, so that at least the extra jobs created over the years could be left for immortal cultivators.
After all, the major infrastructure projects of their Five Elements Sect all require heavy physical labor and technical positions, and only cultivators can be competent for them.
Therefore, in his opinion, cultivating immortal cultivators would be more beneficial to the sect.
"Now in the Eastern Wilds, since there are not many immortal cultivators, the major immortal cities need to be filled with elites from among the mortals. There is no need to set a threshold. The social structure will naturally eliminate those who are unqualified. It is good to let the immortal cultivators and mortals compete with each other to cultivate their sense of crisis."
"If the immortal cultivators cannot defeat the mortals, then our Five Elements Sect's infrastructure projects will be able to cover them, which will be more beneficial for us to recruit manpower."
"Afterwards, we will build a library in each major immortal city to popularize the basic knowledge of immortal cultivators. The probability of giving birth to spiritual roots among the descendants of mortals living in the immortal city will be greater. If their parents have this knowledge, it will be easier for us in the Five Elements Sect to cultivate them in the future."
"These libraries should not be open for free. Instead, we should charge 10 Five Elements Coins per hour, so that these mortals will have the motivation to work and earn money in the Immortal City. We should let them know that even if they have no hope, their efforts can create a better starting point for the next generation."
After Chen Mobai finished speaking, E Yun was full of admiration.
Originally, he thought that after more than a decade of experience, he was more than qualified to become the head of the sect. But today, E Yun felt that he still had a lot to learn. Whether it was his vision or pattern, he was still far behind.
Next, he talked about the Five Elements Sect’s future infrastructure projects.
Among them, Yunmengze, thanks to Zhou Ye's hard work, had already filled in enough land for the construction of Fengyu Fairy City last year. Now Zhou Ye is still in charge, and it is estimated that in a few years, this fairy city connecting Donghuang and Dongwu will be completed.
But even now, Zhou Ye has opened up a street specifically for trade between the two regions. The Five Elements Sect and even many family sects in the Eastern Wilderness have set up shops there and are making huge profits.
Of course, Dongwu also used the huge market in Donghuang to exchange the monster materials accumulated over the years for the various resources it needed.
Even because Sun Huanglong began to live in seclusion, the other families in Dongwu thought that they were on the same page as the Five Elements Sect and were not afraid of being exterminated. So one of the families, the Lu family, even took out a treasured foreign golden elixir to sell, which made all the major forces in Donghuang, except the Five Elements Sect, jealous.
“Who got it?”
Chen Mobai asked with some curiosity. After refining the outer elixir, in addition to having the combat power of the Jindan realm, it is also the Jindan method with the highest success rate in the Tianhe Realm. It should be fought over.
"It's still under bidding. Because the Outer Dao Golden Pill is precious and requires the purchase of the corresponding refining method, the families and sects in the East Wilderness are jointly purchasing it in counties. Several closely related families have also come to me to inquire..."
If a fighter at the Jindan stage appears in the territory of the Five Elements Sect, they must first be greeted, lest they spend all their money to capture him, only to be suppressed by the Five Elements Sect in return.
However, E Yun still adhered to Chen Mobai's ideas in this regard, and welcomed the emergence of new Jindan forces in the Eastern Wilderness.
"As for business, we only need to collect taxes and try not to interfere. However, if anyone dares to evade taxes, you don't have to be polite. No matter who it is, even if it's my apprentice's family, we will deal heavy blows."
Chen Mobai's words made E Yun's face serious. Song Huangda, who was standing behind him, raised his head and secretly glanced at Luo Yixuan, who was standing next to Chen Mobai and handing him tea.
Among the four major disciples of Xiaonanshan, only Liu Wenbai and Luo Yixuan were from immortal cultivation families.
However, Luo Yixuan had little affection for her family. After her mother died, she never went back again. When the ancestor of the Luo family passed away a few years ago, he wanted to ask Luo Yixuan to buy a foundation-building pill for the younger generation of the family, but he couldn't even enter the gate of Hanying Lake.
In the end, the Luo family spent a lot of money to buy several houses in Beiyuan City. They were lucky enough to win a set of Danxia Pavilion's three foundation-building treasures in the lottery, and then they continued to become foundation-building cultivators.
After saying this, Chen Mobai asked about the Earth Network Array and the fifth-level spirit veins.
E Yun was not very clear about this, so Song Huangda immediately stood up to report.
The two core elements of the Earth Network Array, the Xuanji Five Elements and the Positive and Negative Nine Palaces, are currently focusing on the Xuanji Five Elements Array on the East Wilderness Plain. Yi Shaoqing led the elite members of the Five Elements and Five Veins Array Department, and together with the sixth-year interns transferred from various university palaces, they have completed the civil and engineering arrays.
Because Yi Shaoqing is proficient in the wood element, and Chunyu Su, another person with the earth element, is proficient in the earth element, these two completed the task faster.
As for the remaining three elements of gold, water and fire, progress is slow.
However, with the efforts of so many people in the Five Elements and Five Meridians, it can be completed in ten years at most.
However, the activation of the fifth-level formation will still require the formation master Chen Mobai, especially the fifth-level spirit vein.
"Well, let me know when the time comes."
After listening to this, Chen Mobai nodded. In his heart, he was thinking that the progress was really slow, and Zhuo Ming seemed to have nothing to do, so it was time to train her to become an outstanding array master.
After these main things, the rest are just trivialities.
For example, on the East Wasteland Plateau, the yield of spiritual rice per mu in the major spiritual fields has reached a new high. The sects' granaries in various places are already full, and the price of spiritual rice has fallen to an unprecedented low. The cultivators in the East Wasteland, even the low-level casual cultivators, can afford to eat spiritual rice every day.
The Eastern Wilderness was already unable to digest so much in the early years, so the Five Elements Sect turned its attention to the outside world.
Previously, it was mainly sold to Soochow.
They have been fighting against the monsters in Yunmeng Lake all year round, and basically have to buy spiritual rice and the like from outside chambers of commerce, even the Sun family does the same.
However, the Xingtian Chamber of Commerce only sells spiritual rice of level three and above, so the market for low-level spiritual rice has always been blank.
When the spiritual rice from the East Wasteland was delivered there, they basically bought it all because it was so cheap.
Apart from Dongwu, Dongyi also started selling it earlier.
After the Five Elements Sect destroyed the Xuanxiao Taoist Palace, they legitimately obtained the third-level Golden Xia Rice. After Zhuo Ming improved it, it could be harvested once every three years, and the output increased by more than two times.
Chen Mobai sold this Golden Rain Rice to various Jindan forces in Dongyi at 70% off the original price. His only requirement was to bundle it with his own low-level spiritual rice, which was basically giving it away for free.
At first, people in Yu Ri Hai thought that Chen Mobai was crazy. How could he do business at a loss like this?
But more than a decade later, the Five Elements Sect had already seized 90% of the low-level spiritual rice market in Dongyi. Even the market for third-level spiritual rice had been taken over, and the Fire Crystal Rice of Yurihai was no longer able to raise its head.
Now, in Dongyi, except for Yu Rihai’s own territory, all other Jindan forces, and even Kongsang Valley, are purchasing Jinxiami.
Because for the same price, they can get more low-level spiritual rice in addition to the third-level spiritual rice.
In recent years, even the subordinate forces of Yu Ri Hai have begun to secretly come to the Five Elements Sect to buy. Spiritual stones are not easy to earn, and every bit saved is a bit saved.
Thanks to the absorption of the two markets of Dongwu and Dongyi, the spiritual rice of the Five Elements Sect did not become moldy.
The Five Elements Sect can earn more than 20 million spirit stones every year from the spiritual rice. This is because the high-level spiritual rice is basically consumed internally, such as the purple jade spiritual rice, pure bamboo spiritual rice, etc., which are the benefits of the Five Elements Sect cultivators and are not sold to the outside.
In addition to spiritual rice, there are also spiritual cattle and sheep, various medicinal materials, elixirs, magical instruments, formations, and the most important pillar real estate, and various taxes.
After Chen Mobai formed his infant, the wealth of Shangshan Hall increased day by day. After deducting the disciples' salaries and operating costs every year, they could settle more than 50 million spirit stones.
Previously, Zhou Shengqing, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, personally led the Five Elements Sect's major Jindan cultivators to mine in Duojiu Mountain. This was because he was stimulated by the number of 100 million spirit stones. He had never seen so many spirit stones in his life.
And now, the Five Elements Sect can earn 100 million spirit stones in two years.
"The spiritual stones earned are valuable only if they are spent. Next year, we will build seven new immortal cities in these places and set up more schools. The same is true for the mortal world. At the very least, everyone must be able to read. Reading can open up the mind. When mortals are well fed and have strong energy, the chances of their children having spiritual roots are higher. This can be considered as early literacy for the future of our sect."
While Chen Mobai was speaking, he took out a three-dimensional map of the Eastern Wasteland and then talked about the planning of the positive and negative Nine Palace Formations.
This is the core of the Earth Network Array on the East Wasteland Plateau, and it is also the key to Beiyuan City's future upgrade to a fifth-level spiritual vein.
Nine immortal cities and nine spiritual hubs are needed.
At one end and the other are Beiyuan City and Wanhua Fairy City.
As for the other seven fairy cities, Chen Mobai had only made some plans before. At that time, he felt that the conditions were not yet mature, so he did not bring them out. Now is the time.
Although there are still not enough formation masters, the fairy city can be built first.
"Yes, Master!"
After listening to it, E Yun and Song Huangda were also attracted by the grand plan described by Chen Mobai. They took the plan map of the Nine Palaces Fairy City on the Eastern Wilderness Plateau and went down to make arrangements.
"Master, Junior Brother Jiang is more familiar among the mortals. Do you want to call him over?"
Luo Yixuan asked, and Chen Mobai thought about it and realized that although E Yun knew the Eastern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world very well, he certainly didn't know the mundane world as well as Jiang Zongheng.
"Meet the Master!"
Half a day later, Jiang Zongheng, who had received the notice, also came over. He had spent most of his time in the Beiyuan City Library in recent years, reading various books and helping Chen Mobai with the preliminary preparations for compiling the scriptures. He also spent a small part of his time going to the Great Zhao Dynasty to observe the seeds of Taoism and law that had been sown.
Jiang Zongheng was also very happy when he heard the news that Liu Wenbo had successfully formed the elixir.
After Chen Mobai told him about the establishment of schools to promote literacy among the mortal world, he was very supportive and then reported on the work of compiling scriptures.
"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Mobai nodded to Jiang Zongheng with satisfaction. The sutra he planned to compile was a programmatic content that could systematically guide a large force from top to bottom on how to grow and develop. It was basically equivalent to the laws of the immortal sect.
And these are also the key to the seeds of Tao Law being able to thrive here.
However, it must be localized, so Jiang Zongheng is the most appropriate person to do it.
"By the way, I have made great progress in refining instruments recently, and I happen to have some good materials. I plan to upgrade your life instruments, or refine another one. Do you have any ideas?"
Chen Mobai asked the two disciples beside him. Luo Yixuan's eyes sparkled. Although she had the most magical weapons among the four disciples, these were all made by the master himself.
"Master, just watch me refine it, I like it."
After hearing what Luo Yixuan said, Chen Mobai's face darkened. Qingnv had not made any requirements for the Taiyuan Blue Pearl before, which delayed him for more than ten years before he was able to refine a satisfactory Dinghai Pearl.
I'm not going to bother thinking about anything this time.
"Think carefully, if you don't have a clear goal for your own magic weapon, how can you make progress in the future!"
After Chen Mobai taught Luo Yixuan a lesson, Jiang Zongheng had already made up his mind. He took out his own life-saving magic weapon, the Xingdao Ruler, and a horn that Chen Mobai had made using the horns of a wasteland monster, and said that he would just upgrade these two magic weapons.
"This Xingdao Ruler was originally made from the most essence of a third-order pure bamboo. The five elements of this object belong to wood. Master happens to have fifth-order Xuanyou cold iron, which belongs to gold and water. I can use the means of refining to refine it into the Xingdao Ruler, using gold and water to elevate wood and improve the essence of this magic weapon."
"However, considering that this is your life-long magic weapon, you still need to use your spiritual power to refine it and activate the process of gold, water and wood. Only in this way can the magic weapon function smoothly after it is upgraded."
"As for this horn, I will affix a circle of the fifth-order black scales of the Poison Dragon Ancestor and engrave a defensive formation similar to the Green Scale Arm Guard on it. It can also be used as a defensive magic weapon in the future."
After Chen Mobai talked about his upgrade plan, Jiang Zongheng said he had no objection.
With Chen Mobai's current weapon refining skills, upgrading two third-level magic weapons is a piece of cake.
He first used the Dinghai Sword to cut a thumb-length piece of cold iron from the chain of Little Huanglongnu. Then he used the Tushita Fire to melt it and wrapped the five sides of the Xingdao Ruler precisely and evenly. Only the top part was still made of wood, which was also the opening for Jiang Zongheng to pass in his spiritual power for refining.
Chen Mobai also engraved three great techniques of the Changsheng Sect, namely the Sound of the Empty Valley, the Blindness of a Leaf, and the Dripping Water Sword!
The first two great techniques are based on the Xingdao Ruler, so they can only be at the third level at most, but for Jiang Zongheng, it is more than enough.
The Dripping Sword is engraved on the Xuanyou Cold Iron. Although it is of the fourth level, if the Tianxing Dao Ruler completely integrates the Xuanyou Cold Iron one day, then this great technique will disappear.
Moreover, because the spiritual power attributes are incompatible, if Jiang Zongheng activates the Dripping Sword, he will also suffer backlash.
This is the ultimate trick Chen Mobai gave him. It must not be used unless it is a life-and-death situation.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Master."
After Jiang Zongheng took over the two upgraded magic weapons, he felt the powerful fluctuations and bowed deeply to Chen Mobai to express his gratitude.
"The Xingdao Ruler is your life-long magical instrument. If you nurture it well, it may give rise to spiritual power in the future. Just master the horn and don't spend too much time on it."
Chen Mobai taught his little disciple new ritual formulas. Although Jiang Zongheng had good talent, it was definitely impossible for him to have several life-saving magic weapons like him, so he let him focus on the Xingdao Ruler.
"Yes, Master!"
Jiang Zongheng naturally nodded.
After helping him upgrade, Chen Mobai waved to Luo Yixuan who was reflecting on herself beside him. She immediately came over obediently and handed him the fourth-order Moonlight Blade.
"Master, I think I should give full play to my strengths. This magic weapon of mine is the most powerful. Can you see if you can improve it further?"
Luo Yixuan's life weapon is the Fire Jade Heart Lotus that protects the Purple Mansion. It was also refined according to her special situation, but it is also very useful. Her state of mind is the worst among the four disciples. Without this Fire Jade Heart Lotus to suppress her inner demons, she might have gone astray when she was forming the elixir and overcoming the tribulation.
In addition to the Fire Jade Heart Lotus, Chen Mobai also gave her a Green Bamboo Yinxu Sword and a shawl made from monster fur, which were both useful for attack and defense, and could be used in regular fights.
The fourth-order Moonlight Blade is used by Granny Ming to control her body when she is fighting for her life.
Chen Mobai took the Moonlight Blade and examined it carefully.
When he first obtained this magical weapon, he had not yet mastered the art of weapon refining, but now, he has seen many clues.
According to Granny Ming, this magical weapon was obtained in exchange for a fourth-rank soul-nourishing wood from a cultivator from the Jade Mirror Demon Sect at a demonic trade fair.
It is said that it was made by the demon cultivator himself.
Even Chen Mobai, a fourth-rank weapon refiner from the Immortal Sect, could only find a few problems with the refining of this Moonlight Blade. This means that the person who refined it was of extremely high skill.
It turned out that a fourth-level magic weapon was refined using fourth-level materials.
In the Tianhe Realm, he can be considered a master of weapon refining.
Chen Mobai cut off another piece of Xuanyou Cold Iron and integrated it into the Moonlight Blade, upgrading this fourth-grade inferior magic weapon to a fourth-grade superior one.
"If you can cultivate your spirituality, you may be able to reach the fifth level."
Luo Yixuan, who took the Moonlight Blade, was delighted when she heard these words.
If she had a fifth-tier magic weapon, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would not dare to attack her easily.
Granny Ming also appeared in Luo Yixuan's shadow and bowed slightly to Chen Mobai to express her gratitude.
"Give me your Qingzhu Yinxu Sword."
Chen Mobai said to Luo Yixuan again, and the latter did not ask and directly took it out from the storage bag.
The Dinghai sword placed on the tea table turned into a cold blue light and cut off a branch of the longevity tree above its head.
The Qingzhu Yinxu Sword was in Chen Mobai's hand. After it merged with the fourth-order immortal wood branches that fell from the sky, it emitted a clear and bright divine light.
He took out the Divine Light Sword Instrument and engraved the two spells, Heavenly Wood Divine Light and Heavenly Wood Divine Needle, on it in an extremely sophisticated manner. Then the divine light around the flying sword had a core to attach to, and like water flowing backwards, it merged into the sword blade and disappeared inward.
"With your current level of cultivation, it's a bit difficult to control a fourth-level flying sword. I will temporarily upgrade it to the peak third level for you."
After the upgrade, Chen Mobai handed the new Qingzhu Yinxu Sword to Luo Yixuan, who was extremely happy. The Moon Blade was a life-saving magic weapon, and she had used it only a few times. This flying sword was the one she used the most.
Then, Chen Mobai refined twelve pieces of fifth-order black scales into her shawl, and each piece was engraved with the great art of "Green Water and Sky Net", which was equivalent to having twelve fourth-order defensive talismans protecting her body.
However, with her level of cultivation, she could only activate three at most before her spiritual energy was exhausted.
After upgrading Luo Yixuan's magical weapons, while the former was in high spirits, Chen Mobai used the Dinghai Sword to cut off a piece of chain iron.
Then he used the Tushita fire to refine a sword embryo.
"After all, you are practicing a water-attributed technique. Although the Fire Jade Heart Lotus is of great use to you, it is difficult to improve due to its attributes. This Mysterious Cold Iron Sword Embryo is most suitable for your attributes, but because it is made of fifth-level materials, you need to nurture it until it forms an infant before you can use it."
"After you refine this sword embryo, it will be equivalent to your second life-defining magic weapon. Although it is compatible with your attributes, it will hinder your progress in cultivation. However, you can also treat it as non-existent and wait until after the infant is formed, then start to nourish and cultivate it with true qi."
"But if this is the case, the probability of this sword embryo giving birth to spirituality will be much lower."
"Let the embryo of your natal magic weapon advance with you from a low level, giving you a feeling of coexistence and co-death. This way, the magic weapon is equivalent to another you. However, this is just a higher probability, not to say that it can be completely guaranteed to have spirituality."
"Anyway, I have already refined this sword embryo for you. It is up to you to decide what to do."
After Chen Mobai finished speaking, he handed the Xuanyouhan Iron Sword Embryo to Luo Yixuan, who took it solemnly.
She felt that her master gave her this sword embryo to pass on the sword tradition of her Xiaonanshan.
"Disciple will definitely live up to Master's expectations!"
Seeing Luo Yixuan's determined eyes after taking the sword, Chen Mobai was a little confused.
Did he just say what he expected of her?
At this time, Luo Yixuan had already begun to refine the mysterious cold iron sword according to the sword-practicing formula he taught her.
Because it was her natal magic weapon, and the sword embryo's essence was too high, she cut her fingertips and dripped a drop of blood essence on it before completing the refining process.
"Take good care of yourself."
The loss of a drop of essence and blood made Luo Yixuan's pretty face slightly pale. Chen Mobai gave her a bottle of elixir refined by Qingnv and waved his hand to signal her that she could go down.
"Disciple also takes his leave."
Jiang Zongheng on the side also spoke.
"Go check on Wen Bo, and ask him to come over. I will also help him upgrade his magic weapon."
After hearing what Chen Mobai said, Jiang Zongheng nodded immediately.
After a while, Liu Wenbai came over.
Chen Mobai used the fifth-level black scales to help him repair the arm guard. It also had twelve pieces of black scales, but it did not activate the Green Water Sky Net technique engraved inside, and it relied purely on the hardness of the black scales to resist attacks.
This is also the original function of the magical weapon, the arm guard, but from now on, it needs to be renamed the Black Scale Arm Guard.
Next was Liu Wenbai's natal flying sword. Chen Mobai had also refined the Qinglian Sword with a section of fifth-grade Xuanyou cold iron. As Liu Wenbai's cultivation level increased, the flying sword would completely refine and fuse the cold iron, which would be enough to support the sword's upgrade to the fourth grade.
After Liu Wenbai went down, apart from consolidating his realm every day, he practiced his natal flying sword diligently.
That day, Xiao Yuli, who had just returned from touring Beiyuan City, happened to see Liu Wenbai holding a flying sword and breathing in spiritual energy in the yard. She couldn't help but look surprised and suspicious.
She clearly remembered that this flying sword had suffered heavy damage from resisting the heavenly calamity, and its spiritual light had dimmed.
Now, not only was the spiritual light stronger, but even the dark sword mark on the sword body made her feel threatened. It seemed that once the power of this flying sword exploded, even she, a cultivator who had reached the perfect stage of Jindan, would be unable to stop it.
How can this be? !
As the saint of Yiyuan Taoist Palace, Xiao Yuli has mastered the most powerful weapon refining techniques of this holy land. At a young age, she is already a fourth-rank weapon refiner and is also an authority in the identification of various magical instruments.
She observed carefully for a long time before suppressing the shock in her heart.
She discovered that in just three days, Liu Wenbai's third-grade lower-quality flying sword had actually leaped directly to the third-grade upper-quality level, and it even felt like it could be upgraded to the fourth level at any time.
The only one who could accomplish this in such a short period of time was a fifth-rank weapon refining master!
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, what a coincidence!"
At this time, Liu Wenbai finished today's sword breathing exercise. When he stood up, he saw Xiao Yuli standing on the road not far away. He greeted her politely.
"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to pry. I was just fascinated by Fellow Daoist Liu's flying sword." Xiao Yuli said a little embarrassedly. In the Tianhe Realm, it is easy to cause misunderstandings when watching others practicing and refining their magic weapons.
But if you really want to find out, it was Liu Wenbai's fault. After all, Xiao Yuli had never seen a cultivator practicing openly in the yard.
"No, no, it was my negligence."
Liu Wenbai also noticed this and apologized in return. In his impression, there were only people from their Five Elements Sect on the top of Beiyuan Mountain, so he was always very relieved.
"I wonder which weapon-refining master repaired Fellow Daoist Liu's flying sword? Could you recommend one to me?"
Xiao Yuli hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
There are only a handful of fifth-level weapon refiners, even in the entire Dongzhou.
Previously, there were two people in Yiyuan Taoist Palace, the Great Elder Wuming and the Lord of Huode Mountain.
After the passing of the Great Elder Wuming, only the Lord of Huode Mountain was left. However, the latter was a fifth-rank weapon refiner, and he had successfully improved by practicing a fifth-rank weapon with the former. His actual level was only quasi-fifth-rank.
Xiao Yuli was standing outside the yard just now, carefully appreciating Liu Wenbai's Qinglian Sword, and found that the refining technique of this flying sword was far beyond her imagination. How could the fifth-level material be perfectly integrated with the third-level flying sword?
Moreover, the third-order flying sword can actually take a dominant position, with the fifth-order materials serving as an aid. It is refined by the sword master Liu Wenbai using the five-element biochemical method, slowly improving the essence of the Qinglian Sword.
She could understand this idea, but she had no idea how to realize it.
She even felt that even her own deceased master, the Great Elder Wuming, did not have such means of refining equipment. Even if she told him the same method, the most he could do was to use materials of the same level to help improve the flying sword.
On this Qinglian Sword, Xiao Yuli saw many skills that she could not understand, but they were perfectly realized in the work before her.
Since she entered the Yiyuan Taoist Palace, in addition to practicing Hunyuan Zhenqi, she has also had her own pursuit of the art of refining equipment.
That's why I took the liberty to ask for an audience with this mysterious fifth-rank weapon refiner.
"This was made by my master. If Fellow Daoist Xiao wants to see it, I can ask for you."
Liu Wenbo said something that made Xiao Yuli's eyes widen.
It was actually refined by Chen Qingdi?
Does the Five Elements Sect have a legacy of fifth-level weapon refining techniques?
Xiao Yuli remembered it very clearly. The Great Elder Wuming told her that when the family split up, he only let Li Zhongji see some of the contents of the fourth-level weapon refining technique.
Could it be from the Changsheng Sect?
The inheritance of Chen Qingdi could not be hidden from anyone in Dongzhou. Apart from the inheritance of Yiyuan Zhenjun obtained by Li Zhongji, there was also the legendary inheritance of Changsheng Sect.
As the saint of Yiyuan Taoist Palace, Xiao Yuli knew even more clearly that Yiyuan Zhenjun was able to establish the holy land and achieve divine enlightenment because he had obtained the foundation of Changsheng Sect.
Therefore, the weapon refining technique of their Yiyuan Dao Palace can be said to be inherited from the Changsheng Sect.
It is for this reason that she feels that no matter how powerful the Changsheng Sect's weapon-refining skills are, they are at most similar to those left by Yiyuan Zhenjun.
"Master is free, I will take Fellow Daoist Xiao over there."
At this time, Liu Wenbai had already called Chen Mobai using the Tongtianyi. After he hung up, he politely invited Xiao Yuli.
"What kind of magical instrument is this? I seem to hear Senior Chen's voice?"
When Liu Wenbo and Chen Mobai were talking on the phone, Xiao Yuli could naturally hear it clearly with her cultivation level. As she followed Liu Wenbo towards the villa on the top of the mountain, she asked curiously.
"This is the Tongtian Instrument, which was also invented by my master..."
Liu Wenbai began to explain, then took out an unused Tongtian Instrument from his storage bag and handed it to Xiao Yuli.
"It's not very convenient to be in the East Desert without the Tongtianyi. Please use this one, my Taoist friend. I have saved my number in it. You can call me if you have any questions."
After Xiao Yuli declined for a while, she finally accepted it under Liu Wenbo's enthusiasm. Under the latter's guidance, she tried it on the spot. The novel call experience made her even more curious about Chen Mobai.
Could this person be a genius weapon refiner who is even more powerful than Master Yiyuan, and who can actually create such an exquisite and magical weapon?
At this time, the two of them also reached the top of the mountain. The wooden door of the yard had been opened. Chen Mobai, who was sitting next to the tea table under the Longevity Tree, waved at them, motioning them to come in.
After the two of them greeted Chen Mobai, Liu Wenbai helped to make tea with ease.
"Hello, senior. I saw Daoist Liu's flying sword..."
After Xiao Yuli bowed and sat down, she talked about the reason why she wanted to meet him.
"You are too kind, fellow Daoist. I am at most a fourth-rank weapon refiner, not worthy of being a master."
Chen Mobai has always held himself to the high standards of the Immortal Sect. As long as he fails to pass the assessment of a fifth-rank weapon refiner at the Immortal Sect, he dare not call himself a weapon refiner master.
"Senior, you are too modest. I have many doubts about Fellow Daoist Liu's flying sword. I wonder if I can ask you for advice. If it is presumptuous, you can just refuse."
Xiao Yuli's words made Chen Mobai speechless. He thought that this girl could be sent out by Yiyuan Taoist Palace to do things. It seemed that this Eastern Holy Land was really deserted.
Of all the holy land's Taoist disciples and saint maidens he had met, even the worst one, Yuan Zhen, was only a little weak in talent for cultivation. Her ways of dealing with people and verbal communication were not so immature.
"You can ask me, my friend. I will tell you what I can tell you."
Chen Mobai could only say politely that the immortal sect's weapon refining technique was at least one or two levels higher than that here. He would definitely not reveal any content that was too profound.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuli's equipment refining skills were limited, and the problems she could see were relatively simple. After listening to her, Chen Mobai thought for a moment and then used the knowledge here to explain in an easy-to-understand way.
Chen Mobai: "This problem is very simple... Just impose a restriction on the fifth-level material, so that the part that is refined by the flying sword body each time is weaker than the third level..."
Xiao Yuli: "May I ask how to restrain it?"
Chen Mobai: "I can think of six restraint methods. I will briefly talk about the one on the Qinglian Sword. You can listen to it and ask questions after I finish..."
During the communication, Chen Mobai discovered that Xiao Yuli's level in weapon refining was quite good. Even among the immortals, he was an outstanding third-rank weapon refiner.
He just asked a lot of questions, and often asked questions when he was halfway through speaking.
This annoyed him a little, but Chen Mobai's good upbringing allowed him to use the Qinglian Sword to teach her a simple lesson.
"Thank you very much, senior, for teaching me the way of refining weapons. I am very grateful!"
After this class, Xiao Yuli felt that she had been stuck in the weapon refining technique for a long time, and there were many directions for breakthroughs. She stood up and saluted deeply to Chen Mobai.
"You're welcome. I just like teaching people."
Chen Mobai did not ask her to salute. After all, there was no master-disciple relationship between them.
"I have no way to repay you for your kindness, Senior. This is the weapon refining technique I have summarized. If you don't mind, you can take it and have a look."
Xiao Yuli took out several thick booklets from her storage bag and handed them to Chen Mobai. The latter took them and found that they were various notes written by her.
Chen Mobai scanned it with his spiritual sense and had a general understanding of the weapon refining techniques of the Tianhe Realm.
After all, the person in front of him is the Saint of Yiyuan Taoist Palace, representing the most powerful weapon refining inheritance in Dongzhou.
"It is said that before True Lord Yiyuan ascended to heaven, he refined a sixth-order Hunyuan Bell. I guess your sect should have inherited the sixth-order refining technique, right?"
As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Xiao Yuli nodded slightly.
"The sixth-level weapon refining technique is one of the highest inheritances in my Taoist palace. It also records the formula for refining the Hunyuan Bell. However, after the death of the Great Elder Wuming, I don't know whether this part of the content has been passed down. Maybe the Lord of Huode Mountain has it."
Hearing her words, Chen Mobai couldn't help but shake his head.
If the sixth-level weapon refining technique of the Yiyuan Taoist Palace and the ritual formula for refining the Hunyuan Bell were lost, even if a True Lord Huashen reappeared in the future, it would probably be impossible to restore their glory.
"I have always been very curious about the Eastern Land Holy Land. It just so happens that I have also cultivated the Primordial Qi and have made some achievements. I wonder if I can discuss this with Fellow Daoist Xiao."
Chen Mobai asked again. If it was before, Xiao Yuli would definitely have refused without thinking.
After all, in the Tianhe Realm, everyone knows the importance of the sect's skills, and even before they are taught, they must swear a vow of loyalty.
"When it comes to specific aspects of practice, I may not be able to answer."
Xiao Yuli considered her words and spoke.
“It’s just a simple exchange.”
Although Chen Mobai has mastered the Hunyuan Qi, he actually uses this magical power very rarely, because his swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world and most enemies cannot force him to use Hunyuan Qi.
Also, he only had the most basic use of Hunyuan Zhenqi, which was to break all five elements in the world.
The rest, such as the Five Elements Divine Light, the Hunyuan Five Elements Extinction Divine Thunder, and the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, although also inherited in the Yiyuan Secret Realm, have not been practiced at all.
This is what Chen Mobai was asking about, how the Yiyuan Taoist Palace used the Hunyuan True Qi.
"We mainly practice the Yi Yuan Dao Sutra. From the beginning of our practice, we build a balance of the five elements of spiritual power within the Dantian Qi Sea. After we form a Dan, the Great Elder will inject a stream of Hun Yuan Zhen Qi into our bodies. If we can use this as a reference and fuse our five elements of spiritual power into Hun Yuan Zhen Qi, then we will be candidates for Daozi and Saintess."
"After practicing Hunyuan Qi, we can use this magical power to evolve the Five Elements Divine Light in turn, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort. With Hunyuan Qi, we can master the Yiyuan Dao Sutra. After selecting the Dao Son and the Saint Girl, the five mountain masters will transfer the pure Five Elements Qi into our bodies."
"Using Hunyuan Qi, we can refine these external Five Elements Qi into Five Elements spiritual power that we can absorb and refine. This will allow us to perfect the Five Elements Qi in the shortest possible time. Once the Five Elements Qi is perfected, the Five Elements Divine Light will also be perfected. With the Five Elements Qi as the foundation, Hunyuan Qi can naturally be perfected easily."
When Chen Mobai heard this, he also looked surprised.
No wonder before the Hunyuan Patriarch passed away, he asked Zhou Shengqing and others to sacrifice their spiritual power to help Zhou Ye practice Hunyuan Qi. It turned out that the source was in the Yiyuan Taoist Palace.
It’s just that the other holy land has five Nascent Soul cultivators to provide spiritual power, so even if their true energy is depleted, the impact will not be significant.
If Zhou Shengqing and the others had really obeyed at the beginning, now the four of them would not have been able to form an infant, let alone complete the formation of a golden core.
"How do you practice the Hunyuan Five Elements Extinction Divine Thunder and the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light?"
Chen Mobai asked again.
"This..." Xiao Yuli said hesitantly after hearing this, "We were not taught these two magical powers before we formed our infants!"
"How about I teach you? You can use your experience of practicing in the Holy Land for more than a hundred years to see which is more convenient for practicing."
As soon as Chen Mobai said this, Xiao Yuli's eyes widened, her lips trembling, and she stood up excitedly.
