Scenes_2

“As you wish.”

Lin Yin said no more, made a gesture with one hand, and began to vanish again.

“But I don’t even know who you are.”

“You’ll know in due time.”

Due to their combat roles, members of the Patching Six Group usually kept their identities hidden. Though Lin Yin knew that Lan Haitian wanted to pull Chen Mobai into Patching Group, she wasn’t her colleague yet, so she did not reveal her name.

Although she didn’t say her name, Chen Mobai had a guess based on the few words she had just spoken.

She must be a person from the Justice Hall, and the only one he had contact with recently from the Justice Hall was Lan Haitian.

Therefore, there is a high probability that she is a member of the Patching Group.

In that case, the credibility of Lan Haitian’s words earlier is questionable now.

However, at this point, these are minor details.

If it was a Gold Core True Cultivator who let Kong Feichen go in the end…

Pondering this, a worrisome expression flashed across Chen Mobai’s face.

After thinking it over, he recorded this incident in a detailed document and sent it to his teacher, Che Yucheng.

This Dean of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, who is also a Gold Core True Cultivator and once served on a standing committee of the Kaiyuan Hall, must certainly have more experience in such matters than he does.

However, he did not reply immediately, seemingly not by his phone.

By mid-morning, Chen Mobai finally felt that he could regain control of the spiritual power in his Dantian Qi Sea.

He took a deep breath, feeling the more substantial spiritual power, and couldn’t help but marvel.

This medicine is quite potent. It seems that the pill toxicity accumulated from taking the Foundation Building Pill disappeared. At the very least, it saved him the grueling task of detoxifying the toxins for half a year.

Beep,beep,beep!

At this time, Che Yucheng finally responded with a message.

Just one sentence.

[I see. After you’re done with your affairs, come back as soon as possible. Before the truth comes out, don’t rashly investigate a Gold Core True Cultivator.]

Seeing this message, Chen Mobai promptly replied two words: [Okay],

Actually, when he had just returned to Red Sandstone City, he had visited the Red Robed True Man at the Red Dawn Institution. However, he was in seclusion and could not be seen.

Given the current situation, Chen Mobai may not return to Red Sandstone City for a few years.

Once sure his spiritual power was unharmed, Chen Mobai walked into the living room.

Seeing Qing Nu sound asleep on the sofa, he sighed, reached out, and touched her smooth, white forehead.

“Hmm…What happened… Where is Jing’er?”

When Qing Nu woke up, she was not yet clear about the situation, she rubbed her eyes and looked for her younger sister, who in her confused state, should’ve just been rescued.

“Kong Feichen took her to a faraway place for treatment.”

Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, and then told her everything that happened.

After listening, Qing Nu fell into a daze.

After what felt like a long time, her eyes welled up with unstoppable tears, and she cried to the point that Chen Mobai was at a loss about what to do.

In the end, he had no choice but to hold her and comfort her.

Two days later.

Chen Mobai received a call from Lan Haitian, and they agreed to meet at the same place.

“It was burdensome for you last time.”

Chen Mobai greeted Lan Haitian, who was sitting above the medicine vat, as soon as he landed in the courtyard. After all, Lan Haitian had come to rescue Yang Jing at his request. Even though Kong Feichen had taken her away in the end, he should still be grateful.

“How are you considering joining the Patching Group?”

Lan Haitian asked with a smile, seemingly in a good mood.

“I’ve thought about it and believe I’m not made for combat. I’m really sorry.”

Originally, after killing Tuoba Wanyi of the Ascension Sect with a single sword strike, Chen Mobai felt that joining wouldn’t be a big deal. At least his abilities seemed capable amongst the cultivators.

However, his confidence wavered after a mysterious expert broke his offense with a simple leaf when Kong Feichen was leaving.

He was still too weak and needed to cultivate and progress further.

“Kong Feichen of the Imperial Medical Academy colluded with the Ascension Sect, seriously violating the laws of the cultivators. He’s been listed as a Rank-2 wanted criminal of the cultivators. Any cultivator who can provide clues will be rewarded with 100,000 Good Deed Points.”

Lan Haitian suddenly stated.

Chen Mobai stood still, unaffected.

What does Kong Feichen matter to him? Since he chose this path, whether he lives or dies is all down to his own luck.

“An announcement was issued from the Hall of Orthodoxy, saying that whoever kills Kong Feichen will be rewarded with a Barrier Breaking Pill and six hundred thousand Good Deed Points.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai’s eyes lit up.

“A Small Barrier Breaking Elixir or a Big Barrier Breaking Pill?”

The Barrier Breaking Pill is one of the most popular Rank-2 spirit medicines in the Immortal Sect. As the name suggests, it helps cultivators break through their bottlenecks.

The Small Barrier Breaking Elixir is meant for the small bottlenecks from Foundation Establishment Rank-1 to Rank-2, or from Rank-4 to Rank-5.

On the other hand, the Big Barrier Breaking Pill is aimed at the bigger bottlenecks of Foundation Establishment from Rank-3 to Rank-4 and from Rank-6 to Rank-7.

But whether it’s a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir or a Big Barrier Breaking Pill, it’s the most valuable medicine for the true cultivators in the Immortal Sect working on their foundation establishment.

Because even though the Immortal Sect has a variety of complete and mature spiritual medicine and spiritual water systems to boost spiritual power, the obstacles between each realm can only be tackled by two or three kinds of rare elixirs.

Even at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, every time the end-of-term score exchange is held, any Barrier Breaking Pill that appears is sure to be snapped up instantly.

“It’s the Big one.”

With a smile on his face, Lan Haitian gave Chen Mobai an impressively intriguing answer.

“He’s actually worth that price.”

“What, you want to capture him and exchange him for a Barrier Breaking Pill?”

“I’ve thought about it, but I mainly find it unbelievable that a mere Qi practitioner like him could warrant such a rich reward from the Hall of Orthodoxy.”

Lan Haitian initially held the same sentiment, but after hearing Lin Yin’s report and giving it some thought, he realized that the person hidden behind all this would be terrifying.

Which was not hard to comprehend.

“If you join the Heaven Replenishing Group, you will be the first to know if Kong Feichen’s trace is found within the Immortal Sect.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“You and his sister are close, aren’t you? You should be looking to save him and the girl who has practiced the Forbidden Technique. If you join the Heaven Replenishing Group, I could turn a blind eye.”

Hearing Lan Haitian’s words, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but laugh. He shook his head.

“Seems like you still don’t understand me.”

After saying this, Chen Mobai lifted his phone, turned around and bid farewell.

“If I reach Rank-9 Foundation Establishment and cannot acquire the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill by any other means, then I might consider joining the Heaven Replenishing Group. But for now, I value my freedom.”

“Freedom? You would still be free in the Heaven Replenishing Group, you would just need to complete five missions a year.”

Lan Haitian tried to convince him one last time.

However, Chen Mobai was not at all interested.

“I owe you a favor. If you need my help near Crimson Mountain in the future, feel free to give me a call.”

After saying this, Chen Mobai jumped up and left the Evergreen Pharmacy.

“Team leader, I thought you had already recruited him?”

Lin Yin emerged behind the drug vat where Lan Haitian was standing.

With a black mask on her face, her body tall and slender, her skin as white as snow; the only flaw being her flat chest, showing no curvature.

“After all, I’m just a man, and I can’t get everything my way.”

Upon hearing this, Lan Haitian simply shrugged his shoulders and shook his head with a sigh.

“No, but that other person, as you predicted, team leader, when I told her the purpose of my visit, she immediately agreed to join the Heaven Replenishing Group.”

Upon hearing Lin Yin’s words, a smile crept onto Lan Haitian’s face.

“While I may not have increased the manpower of our group six, at least group four gained a new member. So, this trip wasn’t a total loss.”

“Team leader, her only requirement for joining the Heaven Replenishing

Group, was to be assigned to our group six.”

“What!”

Lan Haitian was taken aback upon hearing this, but then soon realized.

“Deny her request. Our group six doesn’t need her.”

“But team leader, she’s a Heavenly Spiritual Root.”

“A Heavenly Spiritual Root only has a faster cultivation speed and no bottlenecks. Our group six needs ruthless individuals.”

“From what I’ve seen, she seems highly determined, and with training, she could become an eligible member of group six.”

Lin Yin objected, thinking it a shame to overlook someone of her potential, trying to persuade him. But Lan Haitian remained unmoved.

“Group six only needs those naturally ruthless people, just like Chen Mobai.”
