Chapter 1451: Chapter 764: Related to Immortal Spirit Root

Chen Mobai, after arriving at Jumang Academy, was first taken by Wen Ren Xuewei to acquire Appearance-fixing Pearls.

They came to Empty Green Pharmacy Factory, one of the Immortal Gate’s six great medicine factories.

It was situated on the other side of thousands of mountains and rivers.

A series of islands each surrounded by medicine pools built according to the respective environment, with Elixir Refining Rooms adjacent to them, as well as many warehouses storing herbs.

Following Wen Ren Xuewei into the area, Chen Mobai felt his horizons broadening.

Compared to the very primitive Alchemy in the Tianhe Realm, the Immortal Gate had basically industrialized, especially in the processing and synthesis of medicinal materials, ensuring that each dose of Spiritual Power could be evenly distributed; the elixirs refined contained no trace of Danless Poison.

“The Appearance-fixing Pearls are located in this medicine pool; they can only be taken out with the dean’s talisman!”

The pair arrived at the central island, where Wen Ren Xuewei produced a peach leaf-shaped talisman, channeled Spiritual Power into it to activate, and then the fog atop the pool dispersed to reveal twenty round lustrous Pearls flying out, neatly landing in two large boxes she had prepared.

“Three of these are for you, Senior Wenren.”

Chen Mobai immediately spoke up, and Wen Ren Xuewei, smiling, took one and handed the rest to him.

“We’ll be visiting Wood God Island to see the dean and Cui later. You can give them to them then.”

Chen Mobai nodded in understanding.

As the two left, they happened upon a group of people arriving at this island via a water vessel, led by someone Chen Mobai recognized.

It was the former chief disciple of Jumang Academy.

The Zong Zi, upon seeing the pair, halted his water vessel and flew over to greet them.

The cultivation technique practiced by the Zong Zi, which involves taking Wood Essence Golden Core Pills, had an effect similar to the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, so after his graduation, he didn’t seek a public post but joined the direct management of Empty Green Pharmacy Factory of Jumang Academy, all the while accumulating sixty years of service in the hopes of attempting Core Formation.

“Some Alchemy equipment has become rather old and needs replacing; I’ve brought the manufacturers here to have a look.”

Wen Ren Xuewei inquired about the Zong Zi’s intentions, who pointed to the dozen people aboard his water vessel and explained.

“Is this for the equipment here and on Sulphur Guan Island?”

Wen Ren Xuewei asked. Now managing the Empty Green Pharmacy Factory, she needed to sign off on major expenses like replacing Alchemy equipment, so she remembered such matters.

“Yes!”

The Zong Zi nodded.

Chen Mobai, listening to the side, felt a stirring in his heart; for the past year, he had also been trying to find a way to bring over Alchemy equipment from the Immortal Gate to the Eastern Wilderness.

He couldn’t let Qing Women’s talent for Alchemy go to waste.

Moreover, the first batch of materials for the Return to True Elixir had been gathered at Giant Tree Ridge, and Chen Mobai had already handed these to Qing Women, who was pondering over the Alchemy Recipe and preparing to start refining shortly.

His own collection from the second-hand market was insignificant compared to taking over equipment directly from a large factory in terms of speed and completeness.

Yet to do so, he needed an excuse.

Even though Wen Ren Xuewei trusted him unusually, without a valid reason, he could not simply ask for such a large batch of old Alchemy equipment.

It seemed about time to open a pharmacy of his own in the Immortal Gate.

After bidding farewell to the Zong Zi, they quickly reached Wood God Island.

Peach Blossom Sage awaited them, and Chen Mobai immediately gifted two Appearance-fixing Pearls, eliciting a beaming smile from the recipient.

“I haven’t seen Senior Pei today; could it be that she is in closed-door cultivation?”

Chen Mobai had come to Jumang Academy mainly to find her, and seeing only Peach Blossom Sage, he couldn’t help but ask.

“Sanjue is here, passing on some knowledge to her.”

Peach Blossom Sage’s words gave Chen Mobai a slight shock; of the fourteen Nascent Souls in Immortal Gate, the only one he had not met was this dean of Imperial Medical Academy, the Three Extremes Sage.

“I wonder if I might be fortunate enough to meet the Three Extremes Sage.”

Chen Mobai’s daughter, Xiao Hei, owed her survival to the Three Extremes Sage, although not many were aware of this. Since she was present on Wood God Island today, he naturally wanted to express his gratitude in person.

“Then let’s wait a bit. After Cui’s Core Formation, her bloodline has awakened to some degree, and her constitution has undergone some changes…”

Peach Blossom Sage, speaking to Chen Mobai, seemed somewhat relaxed and shared the reason for the Three Extremes Sage’s visit.

Apart from diagnosing Pei Qingshuang, there was something else.

After Core Formation, Pei Qingshuang would be able to apply to use a Portal to establish her own Golden Core Domain.

Originally, Peach Blossom Sage had intended to personally handle this, but Pei Qingshuang also wanted to save some face, feeling that it was a bit improper and thus persuaded her a bit.

Peach Blossom Sage was very indulgent with her daughter, and since Pei Qingshuang was concerned about influences and worried people might say she relied on her mother, she requested the help of the Three Extremes Sage.

Chen Mobai listened and nodded slightly.

He proceeded to inquire when Pei Qingshuang might apply for a Portal, saying he himself had several friends at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, and if they knew the precise timing, the preparation for opening the Golden Core Domain could be more thorough.

“Cui’s realm is quite stable now, but the awakening of her bloodline still requires adaptation, possibly another year or two.”

Peach Blossom Sage gave a rough estimate.

Chen Mobai nodded.

The timing was about right. This year, Yan Bingxuan and Xiao Hei had both naturally broken through to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, owing largely to the bulk of their energy and time being spent on the Spirit Root Enhancement Technique.

Given another two years, they would have a deeper understanding of the Power of Void, coupled with his guidance, opening the Golden Core Domain should be highly achievable.
