Chapter 1177: Chapter 649 Finally Obtaining the Longevity Technique Chapter 1177: Chapter 649 Finally Obtaining the Longevity Technique Chen Mobai stayed in Northern Abyss City for a while longer and, once he was sure that the remnants of Liu Jia Mountain were no longer a threat, he prepared to return to the Divine Wood Sect.

However, just as he was about to leave, Zhuo Ming brought him some good news.

While opening up a new river channel, she had discovered another strand of Qi of Creation.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was naturally overjoyed, thinking to himself that his true disciple indeed lived up to his expectations. He immediately went to find her in person.

The place where the Qi of Creation was found was named Swallow Mountain, with only a Rank-1 Spirit Vein, named for its resemblance to a soaring swallow.

Employing the co-cultivation method, Chen Mobai assisted Zhuo Ming in extracting the Qi of Creation using the All-things Altruistic Cauldron. After he took one-tenth of it for himself with the Spirit Sealing Tube, he let Zhuo Ming refine it on the spot at Swallow Mountain.

This was the fourth strand of Qi of Creation that Zhuo Ming had refined, and she was well-practiced in the process.

Three days later, she opened her eyes and got up with a happy expression on her face.

“Ming’er, send a current of your spiritual power over to me.”

As was his custom, Chen Mobai checked the numerical value of Zhuo Ming’s Spiritual Root to see if his hypothesis about the Qi of Creation was correct.

[Metal 3, Wood 22, Water 23, Fire 9, Earth 72].

Chen Mobai took several deep breaths to calm himself after seeing the Spiritual Root values displayed on the somewhat aged screen of the Spirit-Testing Instruments. Only then did he regain his composure.

Zhuo Ming was just 8 points away from breaking through to Heavenly Earth Spirit Root.

When he first took her as a disciple, he never imagined that he would be able to cultivate her to such an impressive level.

“Master, what’s wrong?”

Seeing Chen Mobai remain silent for a long time, Zhuo Ming thought something might have gone wrong with her refinement of the Qi of Creation, so she asked with some concern.

“Nothing much, your master is just a bit too happy,” Chen Mobai said with a big laugh, causing Zhuo Ming to feel puzzled, but she smiled widely since her master was laughing.

With Zhuo Ming’s current Earth Spirit Root, even if she is unlucky and each Earth Veins Elixir only adds one point, she will still comfortably exceed 80.

Additionally, with the constant accumulation of Qi of Creation, even if her Earth Spirit Root numerical value cannot be increased further, it will solidify the foundation of a true Heavenly Spiritual Root.

If she could obtain the Cultivation Method of the Primordial Dao Fruit in the future, coupled with the merit from river management and sand treatment, her disciple may even have greater prospects for “Nascent Soul Formation” than Yin Qingmei.

Thinking this, Chen Mobai was naturally extremely happy.

He even felt an impulse to have this disciple return to the sect to focus on Farming and protection once again.

But after careful consideration, he knew that for a chick to grow, it must face the vicissitudes of the outside world, and moreover, if she never left the sect, how could she find more Qi of Creation?

“Ming’er, should you encounter any danger, remember to prioritize your safety above all else…”

Chen Mobai went on at length, and Zhuo Ming listened and memorized everything seriously.

After talking with her disciple at the foot of the mountain, Luo Yixuan and Yin Qingmei, having heard that Chen Mobai was about to leave, flew up to join them.

“You three practice diligently, perform good deeds, and build virtue. The future belongs to you.”

After expressing his sentiment, Chen Mobai immediately rode the multicolored clouds and left the Eastern Desolation Plateau.

Zhuo Ming and the other two women bowed respectfully at the mountaintop, watching him depart.

Upon returning to Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai dealt with the sect affairs that had accumulated over the year.

Because he had mobilized the sect’s cultivators to attack Liu Jia Mountain, the sect’s finances had once again become tight this year.

After Luo Xue’er left for Sky Country to open up the Mo River, the naturally appointed successor as Vice Hall Master of the Reward Virtue Hall was Chen Mobai’s capable assistant, Yue Zutao.

As a disciple of Chu Zuoshu, Yue Zutao had been serving in the Reward Virtue Hall for over sixty years, and had always been groomed to be its future head.

However, as he was bound by the consumption of the Longevity Tree Fruit, he began to fade away into obscurity.

But this problem was solved during the last batch of Foundation Building Pill production.

Since Chen Mobai became the Sect Leader, the production of Foundation Building Pills in the Divine Wood Sect had increased dramatically.

In the decennial grand competition, eight True Disciples successfully formed their Foundation with the aid of Foundation Building Pills.

Furthermore, in each annual competition that followed, the champion would receive one Foundation Building Pill, and those who could become champions were unquestionably worthy of the title.

Out of seven champions, four succeeded in Foundation Establishment.

This meant that since Jiang Zongheng, Gu Yan, and their peers, the Divine Wood Sect had added twelve new Foundation Establishment Practitioners.

At its peak, the number of Foundation Establishment Practitioners reached ninety.

However, one was lost this year in Rainbow Country and another passed away in meditation due to the exhaustion of their lifespan, so now there were eighty-eight, which was also considered a lucky number.

Among the newly advanced twelve Foundation Establishment Practitioners, more than half practiced the Longevity Scripture.

With Chen Mobai’s support, Yue Zutao reached an agreement with two of them–each paid fifty thousand Spirit Stones to use the Wood Spiritual Talisman and acquire the Longevity Tree Fruit from the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

After ingesting a complete set of Tree Fruits, coupled with his own collection and the Lifespan Extension Pills bought by Chen Mobai from the Immortal Gate, Yue Zutao easily achieved Foundation Establishment Completion.

However, he quickly used the Dual-phase Rotation Technique to dispel the Longevity Scripture, thus freeing himself from the restrictions imposed by the Longevity Tree Fruit, so no one in the sect knew that he had once reached Foundation Establishment Completion and had even attempted Core Formation.

Now, Yue Zutao was re-cultivating the Longevity Scripture, and since there were no bottlenecks before Core Formation, he quickly re-attained Foundation Establishment Middle Stage within a mere seven years.
