Chapter 430: 313 Mysterious Yin Sha_1
In the more than twenty years since Yue Zutao’s Foundation Establishment, he had only managed to gather two Qingyang Fire Seeds, one of which he had handed over to the sect. The one he currently held was his own harvest.
In the Spirit Treasure Pavilion owned by the Divine Wood Sect, the price tag for the Qingyang Fire Seed was 10,000 Good Deed Points. However, due to its high demand, it was usually overstated by about twenty percent.
Chen Mobai gave all the items from the two storage bags he had obtained this time to Yue Zutao, which was equivalent to just over 10,000 spirit stones.
Yue Zutao really wanted to show his gratitude to Chen Mobai. If it were someone else, he wouldn’t even think of giving away the Qingyang Fire Seed.
“Disciple, you should make a copy of this ‘Nine Slaying Technique’. Our sect doesn’t have this cultivation technique. I will submit it to the Transmission Department when I return, and it could be exchanged for some contribution points.”
In the Divine Wood Sect, contribution points were akin to the Good Deed Points of the Immortal School. They could be directly exchanged for spirit stones, as well as all kinds of herbs and foundation building pills required by the sect, which was why many sect disciples would take on tasks to accumulate them.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Chen Mobai could also post tasks in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. He could choose whether to pay in contribution points or spirit stones, as the sect didn’t enforce this.
“Many thanks to senior brother Yue. I happen to have a disciple with a good Earth Spirit Root, this ‘Nine Slaying Technique’ can be brought back for her to refer to.”
In truth, Chen Mobai did not regard the Nine Slaying Technique highly. After all, he could download as many of such techniques as he wanted from the Immortal School.
However, he could not share the techniques from the Immortal School with his three disciples. Compared to this, the Nine Slaying Technique was already one of the most renowned Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques in the Eastern Wilderness.
This was a Body Forging technique, with a total of nine levels.
It’s challenging to get started with the Nine Slaying Technique, but the complete version can be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul Realm.
However, Ji Dao Yuan only had the first six levels.
After Chen Mobai finished copying it, he sketched out a plan and found that while practicing this technique, one would not only need to consume various types of Spirit Rice and Meat over a long period of time, but they would also need specially formulated blood and energy replenishing pills at each stage. It was very detailed and far superior to Divine Wood Sect’s “Earth Spiritual Body” technique.
The Nine Slaying Technique could perfectly fill the void in the Divine Wood Sect’s high-grade Earth Attribute Body Forging Techniques.
It was a pity though, that it wasn’t the complete version, but perhaps the Shake Mountain Peak only had this much.
After all, in the Eastern Wasteland, only the Hun Yuan old ancestor had managed to reach the Nascent Soul Formation in the last thousand years. The techniques that could be cultivated to the Nascent Soul Level were even rarer than Rank-3 Magic Artifacts.
It was said that after Ji Zhenshi formed his core, he had to mortgage twenty percent of the profits from the Void Dark Stone Mine to Xuan Xiao Corporation, in order to purchase a Body Forging technique that could be cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm.
“Junior brother Chen, each Qingyang Fire Seed contains a different spiritual nature. When you are fusing and refining it, don’t be too hasty.”
Just before leaving, Yue Zutao reminded him again.
The Qingyang Fire Seed is a heavenly spiritual fire, born during the process of a Qingyang Spirit Tree evolving into a Golden Sun Spirit Tree. As the divine souls of each Spirit Tree are different, every Fire Seed also has different spiritual natures.
In the Divine Wood Sect, besides the two old Nascent Souls, only three or four people have managed to cultivate the complete “Qingyang Fire”.
Yue Zutao had read their notes left in the Transmission Department, so he knew that the refining of Qingyang Fire Seeds also had to be done step by step, slowly.
“Thank you for your reminder, senior brother Yue.”
Chen Mobai had obtained the pure Qingyang technique from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, which could quickly fuse and refine Qingyang Fire Seeds, but Yue Zutao was kind-hearted, so he thanked him very politely.
“After cultivating the Qingyang Fire, you can improve the realm of your Red Flame Sword Jue, and then, you can start condensing the Green Flames Sword Slaughter. However, the amount of Green Wood Evil in our Giant Tree Ridge is not much after being refined by the two Core Formation ancestors, and it has always been considered a taboo by the Sword Training Department. Brother Chen, if you want to condense the Sword Sha, you might need to plan for it in advance.”
Chen Mobai wasn’t aware of this until now.
It was only because Yue Zutao considered him as a close friend that he revealed these matters.
The next day.
Chu Zuoshu arranged for Quan Shanlin and the other twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators who arrived at night to hide in the cave of Rolling Thunder Mountain. He intentionally increased the power of the Earth Gold Knife Array to misguide Shake Mountain Peak into thinking that they intended to hold out till the Divine Wood Sect’s reinforcements arrived.
After hesitating for a long time, Ji Dingjin, finally decided to attack when the other three late-stage Foundation Establishment peak masters from Shake Mountain Peak arrived with their sect’s reinforcements.
When they had spent a vast amount of spirit stones to activate the battle array and break through the Earth Gold Knife Array, Chu Zuoshu laughed heartily, and Quan Shanlin and the other twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Divine Wood Sect rushed out.
Even with the number advantage still favoring the cultivators from Rock Country who had received support from Shake Mountain Peak’s headquarters, they had fewer Foundation Establishment cultivators.
When Ji Dingjin saw Quan Shanlin and the others, he didn’t hesitate and immediately ordered a retreat.
But this time, Chu Zuoshu did not miss the great opportunity to pursue them.
He led twenty-six Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect, plus three from Lei Nation, along with the remaining three hundred Qi Practitioners, to chase after the twenty flying boats of Shake Mountain Peak.
Ji Dingjin, however, was not unworthy of his reputation. He led the three late-stage Foundation Establishment peak masters from Shake Mountain Peak, as well as the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Rock Country, and withstood the pursuit of the Divine Wood Sect without collapsing.
This chase and retreat were extremely fierce.
A late-stage Foundation Establishment peak master of Shake Mountain Peak, in order to block Chu Zuoshu, challenged him despite the difference in their levels. His fate was miserable. Although his sturdy body withstood seven rounds of Qing Light Impact, he was ultimately shot into a sieve and died, with his Qi and spiritual power exhausted.
