Luo Yixuan had never imagined that having her dismissed could be such an effortless task.
Once Chen Mobai spoke, E Yun naturally stopped applying pressure and lifted his hand, indicating the Luo siblings could leave.
“The person from the Penalty Evil Hall going to Lei Nation this time is Fu Xingzhou.”
When only the three of them were left, E Yun shared the information he had gathered in the last few days.
“Is it really him?”
Yuan Chiye was a bit surprised.
Chen Mobai also knew this person. In the past, Chen Mobai wanted to acquire a Foundation Building Pill for his father, so he thought about buying one from the Heavenly Spiritual Root Yin Qingmei. However, he later found out through Xi Jinghuo that the pill she owned had long been transferred to Fu Xingzhou.
This man is the direct descendant of one of the other Gold Core ancestors of the sect, and his Spiritual Root Talent stands out as well.
However, Fu Xingzhou kept a low profile. Since establishing his foundation, he constantly secluded himself to practice his cultivation technique. He seems to avoid creating any negative influence on Fu the Gold Core ancestor.
“He set out half a month ago, so I did not get a chance to communicate with him.”
After E Yun finished speaking, Yuan Chiye waved his hand carelessly.
“Following the sect’s rules, it’s better that he and I don’t interact. I finished my drink too, so I’ll be leaving.”
After saying this, Yuan Chiye put down his wine glass, transformed into a green light, took off into the sky, and disappeared over his seat.
“Elder brother Yuan is really a carefree man.”
Chen Mobai said with a laugh. Finishing the last of his drink, he bid farewell and left.
“Junior brother Chen, I am going to Yun Country to guard the place tomorrow. I’ll count on you to look after the sect.”
E Yun sincerely said.
“Of course, but I might have to go to Lei Nation along with elder brother Yuan to investigate the shortfall in the Spirit Stone Mine on behalf of the Reward Virtue Hall.”
“He said that casually, you don’t need to pay it any mind.”
E Yun shook his head. Chen Mobai was not interested in going out, so this reply would serve as an explanation to Yuan Chiye in the future.
However, he still pretended to hesitate a little before agreeing.
“Alright.”
After Yuan Chiye and E Yun left, Chen Mobai suddenly found himself in possession of a lot of free time.
In the Divine Wood Sect, the one with whom he had the deepest friendship was Qi Rui.
The two of them used to endure bloody battles against demonic beasts together on Green Light Island, that’s true comradeship.
However, since Qi Rui is a person from Tianhe Realm and Chen Mobai had established his foundation, he felt a disparity between their statuses.
Now, unless Chen Mobai takes the initiative to invite him, Qi Rui seldom visits of his own accord. Not to mention the Qi Hou brothers and Xi Jinghuo.
Because of this, after E Yun and Yuan Chiye left the sect one after the other, Chen Mobai had been enjoying a few peaceful days in Divine Wood City.
One night,
He invited Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye over for a drink.
After they had their fill of good food and wine, Chen Mobai proposed that he was cultivating a technique for absorbing spirit and needed different cultivators’ spiritual power for his understanding.
Despite being puzzled about why they hadn’t heard of this technique before, Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye trusted Chen Mobai and gave him a strand of their cultivating spiritual power without any hesitation.
After the two left, Chen Mobai wrote down the results shown on the Spirit-Testing Instruments in his palm.
[Yue Zutao’s Spiritual Root: Gold 6, Wood 57, Water 27, Fire 12, Earth 8]
[Yan Jinye’s Spiritual Root: Gold 3, Wood 40, Water 10, Fire 35, Earth 12]
As one of the only two Foundation Establishment cultivators who managed to obtain the Tree Fruit from Divine Tree Secret Realm in the recorded history of Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai had long wanted to explore and study both their spiritual roots and associated cultivation techniques to understand the pattern behind it.
However, he wasn’t close enough to Yue Zutao to do so before. Now that he had shared a drink and joined the Reward Virtue Hall, they had become good friends.
However, the result from the Spirit-Testing Instruments was astonishing for Chen Mobai.
Yan Jinye’s result seemed normal; all his attributes added up to an exact 100. Regardless of how it was counted, he was a genuine True Spirit Root cultivator with Wood Fire dual attributes which are very suitable for the Dual Phase Technique. If his lifespan permitted, he had a hope for Core Formation.
But there was something odd about Yue Zutao’s spiritual root.
The total amount of his Five Elements Spiritual Root added up to 110, with Wood Spirit Root reaching an astonishing 57. If he were to practice the cultivation technique for Spiritual Root in the Celestial School, he might even be able to upgrade to Heavenly Spiritual Root after spending a decade or two.
Could it be that Yue Zutao, like Chen Mobai, had consumed some sort of spiritual object which could enhance the Spiritual Root? Or was it an enhancement after consuming the Tree Fruit?
In response to this, Chen Mobai could only make a guess for now and confirm it through further communication later.
After comparing the Spiritual Roots of Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye, he found that their Wood Spirit Roots were both exceptionally high.
This must be the key to producing the Tree Fruit on the Magic Treasure Tree!
With this discovery, a surge of energy enveloped Chen Mobai.
As he possessed the Wood Spiritual Talisman, he could artificially create a Heavenly Wood Spiritual Root.
If he could send the chosen Foundation Establishment cultivators into Divine Tree Secret Realm and give them the Wood Spiritual Talisman to use while obtaining the Tree Fruit from the Magic Treasure Tree, wouldn’t the likelihood of getting a Tree Fruit greatly increase?!
However, this was just Chen Mobai’s conjecture. Whether it could succeed or not still needed validation.
Or maybe, the key was not the Wood Spirit Root, but the cultivation technique?
Both Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye practiced the Dual Phase Technique, albeit the former practiced Water Wood while the latter Wood Fire. However, they both have practiced Eternal Life Sutra.
This line of thought was also worth thorough investigation.
Just when Chen Mobai wanted to continue pondering on these issues, a slight fluctuation of spiritual power fell into the courtyard. His mind stirred, and he cast the Ignition Technique to turn the paper where he had written down the Spiritual Roots of Yue Zutao and Yan Jinye into ashes.
