“Miss Zhuo, long time no see.”
At the stall position of the Southstream Market where talismans were displayed, Chen Mobai saw a woman in a yellow dress sitting on a small stool, selling some middle and low-rank talismans at the old spot. He walked over and greeted her.
“It’s you. I didn’t expect to see you again.”
Upon hearing the voice, Zhuo Ming raised her head and saw Chen Mobai. She was slightly taken aback, then nodded and responded.
“As it happens, Miss Zhuo, you mentioned before that you are a Talisman Maker. I have some doubts about talisman making and wanted to ask for some advice.”
Chen Mobai didn’t ask bluntly about Lu Shu’s matter, but chose a more subtle approach.
“Oh, it seems that you are planning to join the Divine Wood Sect.”
Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Zhuo Ming showed some caution in her eyes. At this point in time, if talisman makers who are still in the Southstream Market, most of them are planning to join the sect.
If she also wants to join the Divine Wood Sect, they naturally become competitors.
“That’s true. This is the Divine Wood Sect’s Talisman Making Insights’ that Lu Shu gave me. He said mastering the basic talismans recorded in it would be more than enough to be accepted into the Divine Wood Sect. However, I’m slow, and despite trying many times, I still fail to draw successfully as per the book. Could Miss Zhuo help me out?”
Chen Mobai’s words did not reveal his suspicion about Lu Shu, but effectively asked about the errors in the talisman strokes recorded in the manual.
This kind of talent in rhetoric is inherent to him.
His grandfather Tang Lu said Chen Mobai’s talent would be a great loss for the imperial court if he didn’t become an official.
“This book…”
Zhuo Ming saw the ‘Divine Wood Sect’s Talisman Making Insights’ that Chen Mobai took out, her eyes began to dodge, seeming to know something, but finally shook her head.
“You better ask Lu Shu. I haven’t read this book and can’t answer your questions.”
“Oh, the talismans you sell here are not made by you?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was quite surprised and pointed at the Consciousness Talisman, Regeneration Talisman, and New Life Talisman displayed on Zhuo Ming’s blanket. These were all basic talismans required for loose cultivators to join the Divine Wood Sect.
“I have things to do today. I’ll pack up first.”
Zhuo Ming was embarrassed after being revealed by Chen Mobai. She directly packed up her blanket and talismans, carried her small stool, and returned to her cave dwelling.
Chen Mobai didn’t stop her.
At least, from Zhuo Ming’s attitude, it showed that she probably knew there was something wrong with the ‘Divine Wood Sect’s Talisman Making Insights’ from Lu Shu’s hands.
“I will take my time. Once I join the Divine Wood Sect, I will have plenty of time to convince her to speak up.”
Chen Mobai was not in a hurry.
He had just observed the talismans made by Zhuo Ming. If the Divine Wood Sect had indeed lost a good number of disciples in Yun Meng Ze, someone at her level, as long as her Spiritual Root Talent was not too bad, would also be accepted.
Once they become fellow disciples, given enough time, Zhuo Ming will eventually reveal the truth.
Chen Mobai was not affected by this incident.
Since he came out of his cave dwelling, he visited the Divine Wood Sect’s shop where spiritual herbs were sold and had a long chat with the shopkeeper.
However, the Loose Cultivators who were tailing him in the market were getting a little anxious.
“Didn’t you say he would be leaving soon?”
“It was the Divine Wood Sect’s Spirit Messenger who left early. He should be on his way to Yun Country. He probably plans to join the Divine Wood Sect. After receiving the news, he must have stayed.”
In the same alleyway, He Qun, looking very impatient, said to his fellow Qi Cultivation practitioners.
“What should we do? He doesn’t leave the market and we can’t make a move here.”
“What else can we do. You can only wait for him to leave the market.”
After saying these words, He Qun waved his missing right hand, turned around and left.
“You…”
One of the Loose Cultivators was furious at his attitude. He tried to take action, but was stopped.
“Big Brother.”
“We can only wait. If we don’t get a chance, then let it be.”
Sighing, the two of them disappeared into the alley.
After leaving the alley, He Qun made a few turns and entered a cave dwelling.
“Old Seven, what did the remnants of the Xuan Guang sect say?”
“What else can they say? They don’t dare to make a move in the market, so they can only wait for the kid to leave.”
“It’s a shame that the kid is too careful. He never left the Spirit Camel of the Luo family on his way back. We haven’t found an opportunity either.”
Except for He Qun, there were two more people in the cave dwelling.
If Chen Mobai was here, he would definitely find out that these two were the Loose Cultivators who helped him fight against the demonic beasts on the Ice Breaking Ship of the Liu family.
Chen Mobai thought that only He Qun survived from his team, but they had split up.
“What if he really joins the Divine Wood Sect?”
One of the middle-aged men with a grim face asked.
“After the two brothers take the stuff, we will kill them and avenge the kid. Even if the Divine Wood Sect’s investigation leads to us, they will reward us.”
The youngest looking boy calmly said.
“Brilliant.”
Chen Mobai had no idea about these undercurrents aimed at him.
After leaving the Divine Wood Sect’s shop, he learned that the Spirit Messenger of the Sect was one of the top three experts among the twenty-four true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.
It was said that he had already obtained the Foundation Building Pill, but he felt that there were still some flaws in his state of mind. Therefore, he voluntarily undertook this Ferrying Spirit mission, looking for talents for his Sect, while also making the final summary of his Qi Cultivation career.
Three days passed, and Chen Mobai noticed more and more unfamiliar faces in Southstream Market.
Qi Er told him that these were Loose Cultivators who lived in various places in Yun Country. They came here to try their luck after receiving news that the Divine Wood Sect’s Spirit Messenger had set off.
Chen Mobai tried to interact with a few of them, but found that some of them couldn’t even draw the “Consciousness Talisman”.
Those with Zhuo Ming’s talisman making skills were considered the elite among them.
He then learned that this is how Loose Cultivators are.
They were busy earning Spirit Stones, cultivating, fighting; they didn’t have time to study the high-end Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal such as talisman making.
While lamenting the harsh cultivation environment in Tianhe Realm again, Chen Mobai also understood why these Loose Cultivators were scrambling to join large sects.
Cultivation techniques, elixirs, Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal!

All of these things are incomplete among Loose Cultivators. Only in the sects and families do they have a complete inheritance.
And if they want to go beyond Foundation Establishment and obtain the inheritance of the Rank-3 Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, the entire Eastern Wilderness only has the Seven Great Sects.
While feeling the preciousness of knowledge in the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai also felt fortunate that the knowledge in the Immortal Gate could be freely obtained. He was, in fact, lacking resources.
Two more days passed.
Finally, the Spirit Messenger of the Divine Wood Sect arrived at Southstream Market amidst anticipation..
