Chapter 254: Chapter 239: Inventorying the Gains l
After seeing off the guests, Chen Mobai sorted the gifts he had received.
Pills or Spirit Talismans, suitable for Qi Practitioners, were the presents given by E Yun and the rest. He divided them equally between Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming.
The former immediately tucked them into his storage bag while the latter held them in her hands.
“This is the storage bag I used to use. You can have it.”
Chen Mobai handed over the storage bag he had bought from Yuan Chiye to Zhuo Ming. Besides not wanting his disciple to look too shabby, it was also because today Meng Hong had gifted him a larger storage bag.
The space in this bag was ten cubic meters, ten times the size of the one he had previously used.
Adhering to the principle of allocating resources where they would be of most use, he gave the replaced one to his disciple.
“Thank you, Master!”
Zhuo Ming excitedly received the storage bag, something she had long coveted.
In the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, this artifact was priced at a hundred Spirit Stones. Today, by becoming a disciple, she’s harvested the most.
“How are you doing with your Cultivation Techniques?”
Now that they had officially become disciples, Chen Mobai naturally had to show some concern and asked about their progress in their cultivation.
“Master, after I halted the cultivation of the Red Flame Sword Jue, as expected, there were signs of improvement in the longevity sutra. Within two years, I am hopeful of attaining the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.”
Liu Wenbo talked about his progress in cultivation, with a face full of admiration.
Originally, he felt that becoming a true disciple before the next batch of Foundation Building Pills was ready would be great. Now, it seems that he might secure his position as a true disciple three to four years earlier.
“In the next two years, besides improving the Longevity Sutra, I also plan to gradually convert the Red Flame Sword Jue into the family’s secret Azure Water Cultivation. According to Master’s idea, I will alternate between water and wood cultivation techniques.”
Liu Wenbo still listened obediently, probably because he had also consulted with the elders of his family.
The Liu family’s inherited technique is also of water attribute, which may suggest their intent on having him inherit the family clan in the future.
“Excellent. Given your resources, plus the backing of E Yun and others, you should at least be able to wait for two batches of Foundation Building Pills to be ready. Spiritual attainment, however, depends on your future opportunities.”
Between his words, Chen Mobai has already arranged the future path for this oldest disciple of his.
Upon hearing this, even the normally composed Liu Wenbo was visibly excited.
You have to understand that even with the Liu family’s resources, they could not easily afford a Foundation Building Pill.
It’s not something that can be measured in Spirit Stones, it is a strategic resource used by the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness to contain all cultivation forces.
But after becoming a disciple of Chen Mobai, Liu Wenbo has at least two opportunities to strive for this.
Moreover, the first Foundation Building Pill was basically a sure thing. But whether he could get the second one depended on the attitude of the sect’s upper echelons at that time.
Even so, Liu Wenbo was already very excited.
He had become the most likely prospect in his generation to establish a foundation with the Liu family’s support.
It is precisely because of this that the Liu family was willing to present a Rank-2 Magic Artifact, and more than that, a preciously rare defensive Magic Weapon.
“Master, I have also decided to switch to Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques.”
At this time, Zhuo Ming also revealed her choice.
She had also been practicing Earth Spiritual Energy during this period, and sure enough, compared to the difficult practice of Wood Spiritual Energy, which required extra focus to refine into her body, Earth Attribute Spiritual Energy seemed to rush eagerly into her body in great numbers.
And although she has become a disciple under Chen Mobai, she knows that to strive for the Foundation Building Pill, her ability to duel with magic must also be improved. It is obvious that it is not possible to compete for the position of true disciple with the difficult-to-cultivate Wood Attribute Spells.
“Have you decided which cultivation technique you are switching to?”
Chen Mobai was quite satisfied with his obedient disciples as compared to the unique students of his immortal sect. The cultivators here were more open to advice.
“I have read a few in the Book Pavilion, but I am not sure how to choose. Could Master please give me some advice?”
Listening to this, Chen Mobai felt a bit troubled.
In Divine Wood Sect, he had only studied the Longevity Sutra, Red Flame Sword Jue, and Two Phases Cultivation with focus. When it came to Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques, he was utterly ignorant.
“Let’s go to the Book Pavilion together tomorrow.”
However, Chen Mobai was somewhat confident in his ability to appraise cultivation techniques, after all, they were not valued very highly over at the immortal sect.
In Tianhe Realm, these secret manuals considered as treasures whereas, on Dinyuan Star, they were shared knowledge.
Many cultivators in Divine Wood Sect could only peruse a few cultivation techniques in their lifetime. However, Chen Mobai had examined several, in addition to the influence of TV shows, films, and novels, there were at least hundreds if not thousands.
Moreover, he could spend the night giving himself a crash course.
“Thank you, Master.”
Zhuo Ming and Liu Wenbo thanked him and retreated.
Chen Mobai began to examine the large storage bag that Meng Hong had given him.
Pouring it directly, it was accompanied by the clatter of precious stones.
A heap of luminous jade, shimmering with spiritual light, made him squint his eyes.

So many Spirit Stones.
A sweep of his Divine Sense, and Chen Mobai had already counted them all.
The Sect Leader’s generosity was indeed impressive, a full hundred intermediate-grade Spirit Stones.
Equivalent to normal units, that was ten thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.
When Meng Hong left after the drink, he said that considering the value of the information on the Daoist Trees Chen Mobai had contributed, in addition to the promised Rank-2 Magic Artifact, he gave him a bit more as a reward for Chen’s “openness and honesty” and his “loyalty” to the sect..
