Chapter 1162: Chapter 641 Five-Cornered Ancient Maple Chapter 1162: Chapter 641 Five-Cornered Ancient Maple If you want to lure the snake out of its hole, then you must choose bait that your enemy simply cannot resist.

Within the entirety of the Divine Wood Sect, aside from Chen Mobai and other cultivators who have already achieved Core Formation, the one who makes the enemies most wary is undoubtedly Yin Qingmei with her Heavenly Spiritual Root.

With such aptitude, achieving Core Formation was a minimum guarantee, and there was even a great chance of reaching “Nascent Soul Formation” eventually.

If there was an opportunity to eliminate her in advance, they would undoubtedly take immediate action to kill her.

And Chen Mobai wasn’t spreading false information; Yin Qingmei indeed needed to go to Rainbow Country to adjust her Fire Vein and plant trees to treat the sand. Zhuo Ming had also visited Qingdai Mountain several times to discuss this matter with her.

Once Liu Wenbo received guidance from Chen Mobai, he immediately had an epiphany and left Xiao Nanshan to arrange this matter.

Of course, before he left, he handed over to Chen Mobai the five tubes of Qi of Dragon Vein that Song Huangdae had painstakingly refined this year.

Ever since his identity was exposed, Song Huangdae, in an attempt to make amends, dared not slack off anymore, exceeding his original annual task of four tubes.

He hoped that when the time came for the Restoration Society to be annihilated, Chen Mobai would spare his life in recognition of his hard work.

Conveniently, at this time, the Divine Wood Sect had also gathered all the auxiliary materials needed for the Earth Veins Elixir.

What was still missing was another main material, that is, the Qi of Earth Vein!

The so-called Qi of Earth Vein was, in fact, earth-attribute Spiritual Energy. Over ninety-nine percent of Spirit Plants required Qi of Earth Vein to survive and grow.

Therefore, virtually all terrestrial Spirit Veins contain Qi of Earth Vein, making it an easily found and widely used main material.

The Earth Veins Elixir is named after it, and its demand for Qi of Earth Vein even exceeds that for Qi of Dragon Vein.

This is a Rank-3 elixir, so the Qi of Earth Vein it requires must be at least Rank-3. However, if there’s Rank-4 Qi available, according to the past experience of predecessors at Jumang Academy, recounted by Wen Ren Xuewei, the quality of the resulting elixir would be even better.

And naturally, the improvement for an Earth Spirit Root cultivator from an elixir of better quality would be more significant.

However, the practice of alchemy within Immortal Gates has always advocated frugality, so if Rank-3 Qi of Earth Vein is sufficient, they would absolutely not use Rank-4.

Chen Mobai is different; if he is to refine elixirs, then he would want all the external conditions to be optimal.

Otherwise, if this material falls slightly short or that material is scant, and the refinement fails, wouldn’t that be an even bigger waste?

The Qi of Earth Vein at Giant Tree Ridge is, without a doubt, the most top-notch in the Eastern Desolation.

But through the abundant experience of the Sect, Chen Mobai knew that extracting Qi of Earth Vein would affect the growth of Spirit Plants, the yield of Spirit Rice at Giant Tree Ridge, and excessive extraction could even cause the grade of the Spirit Vein to decline.

Although the Earth Veins Elixir did not require a large amount of Qi of Earth Vein, Chen Mobai still wouldn’t do something that amounted to undermining his own resources.

Luckily, besides Giant Tree Ridge, the Divine Wood Sect had two other locations with Fourth Grade Spirit Veins!

They were Cloud Nation’s Tianpeng Mountain and Jianguo Dayun Proving Ground.

The former was a relic of cultivators who had opened up the land discovered by the Foundation Establishment practitioner Du Feng from the Sect in the past. There was even a Rank-4 Five-Cornered Ancient Maple suppressing the Spirit Vein.

It was a pity that too much time had passed. When Chu Zuoshu went there, he found that the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple had already withstood the Heavenly Tribulation, and though it was still alive, its trunk was charred, and it had no branches or leaves left, barely clinging to the last remnant of its Elemental Energy.

Moreover, the mere remnants of the spirit in the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple caused the Spirit Vein of Tianpeng Mountain to gradually dissipate and weaken.

Later, Zhou Shengqing personally transplanted three Golden Sun Spirit Trees there and helped the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple purge the remnants of the Heavenly Tribulation. Only then was the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein of Tianpeng Mountain barely preserved.

The Dayun Proving Ground of Jianguo was a Rank-4 Spirit Vein that Ancestor Hunyuan discovered and subsequently bestowed upon Zhou Shengqing. It remains the Zhou family’s ancestral land to date.

Therefore, the only place where Chen Mobai could extract Rank-4 Qi of Earth Vein was Tianpeng Mountain!

He didn’t waste any time and immediately brought his cherished disciple Zhuo Ming to Tianpeng Mountain.

The All-things Altruistic Cauldron was most proficient in this extraction.

To avoid delaying Zhuo Ming’s important mission to the Eastern Desolation Plateau, Chen Mobai decided to extract all the Qi of Earth Vein needed for his refinement in one go.

After passing through the Teleportation Array, Chen Mobai, riding on the “Red Misty Cloud Silk,” arrived at Tianpeng Mountain with the greatest speed.

The place was protected by a Formation, unseeable and inaccessible to mortals.

But as the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai naturally had unimpeded access!

After passing through the Formation, what came into view was a lush and verdant Spirit Mountain with winding streams, not particularly tall.

The foothills and slopes of the mountain had all been converted by the Spirit Plant Department of the Divine Wood Sect into Spirit Fields and Medicine Fields, where a variety of precious herbs were planted.

The dissipating Spirit Vein here nourished all fields to become Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Fields, and Chen Mobai even spotted an acre of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms.

In the center of Tianpeng Mountain stood a Five-Cornered Ancient Maple tree, over ten zhang tall with a charred trunk, devoid of branches and leaves.

This plot of Spiritual Land of Tianpeng Mountain naturally had cultivators from the Sect’s Spirit Plant Department tending it, and the one in charge was even a Foundation Establishment practitioner named Xin Tingzheng.

He was once the deputy head of the Spirit Plant Department, yet unfortunately, he was now over two hundred years old, his life nearing its end.

So, feeling his body weakening irrevocably, he retired to this Rank-4 Spiritual Land to spend his last years.

On hearing that Sect Leader Chen Mobai was coming, Xin Tingzheng, dragging his decrepit body, was carried over by four disciples of the Spirit Plant Department to pay his respects.

Is this what a Foundation Establishment Practitioner facing the end of his lifespan in the Tianhe Realm looks like?

Chen Mobai looked at the emaciated Xin Tingzheng, with a lifeless expression and Spiritual Power not even on par with the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation. After feeling his pulse, it was easy to discern that his state was due to an overwhelming amount of elixir toxins within his body, which was why, despite having several years left in his lifespan, he already looked like a man at death’s door.
