"Master, if you let Huitian Valley refine the Foundation Establishment Pill before, it was indeed delaying Yan Shaoyin's practice, but under the current conditions, it may not be harmful to him."
Chen Mobai knew that Chu Zuoshu was someone who was easily persuaded, so he directly spoke out what was on his mind.
When Patriarch Hunyuan was there, the Five Elements Sect asked Huitian Valley to refine the foundation-building pills in very strict quantities, so Yan Shaoyin could only do it himself. But now that there are no Yuanying monks, the conditions are very broad, and he can even use the materials they provide to cultivate his own disciple.
"Indeed, in just a few decades since we split from the Five Elements Sect, Huitian Valley has trained two more third-level alchemists. If this continues, I am afraid it may really surpass us in the future."
After listening to Chen Mobai's words, Chu Zuoshu took out the Huitian Valley file and looked at it, shaking his head slightly.
"But suppressing Huitian Valley and agreeing to Zeng Woyou to refine the orthodox foundation-building pill are two different things. If I bow to him on this matter, and everyone in the three halls and twelve divisions will do this in the future, then I can only Retreat again and again?”
For the same reason, compared to suppressing Huitian Valley, Chu Zuoshu's first priority was to establish his own prestige.
Although he has been in charge of Shanshan Hall for decades, he is not as luxuriant as Meng Hong and has many disciples. He took over as the head because there is no suitable candidate besides him.
At this critical moment, Zeng Woyou suddenly jumped out to confront Chu Zuoshu, and he was naturally displeased.
"Now the sect only has a third-level alchemy master, Senior Brother Zeng. Many things, even the elixirs that the two ancestors take daily, require his refining. If the matter drags on for a long time and the two ancestors ask about it, then it will be difficult for the two ancestors to intervene. It may be disadvantageous for you, the leader.”
Chen Mobai said this very tactfully, but Chu Zuoshu understood it and couldn't help but frown.
The two ancestors chose him to take over as head, mainly for the sake of a smooth transition. If Chu Zuoshu does well, he can, like Meng Hong, save his contributions until the time is right to obtain the elixir-forming spiritual objects with the power of the sect, and then abdicate in favor of talents.
But if there is internal instability from the beginning and disturbs the two ancestors, even if things are settled in the future, I am afraid that the impression score in the minds of Shenmu Sect will be greatly reduced.
"I can't bow my head. If he is willing to surrender in public, it is not impossible to make him two batches of orthodox foundation-building pills."
After hearing Chu Zuoshu's words, Chen Mobai knew that his next words should make sense.
"For the sake of the majesty of the leader, our sect has asked Huitian Valley to refine the seven furnaces of orthodox foundation-building pills not to be given to senior brother Zeng. However, if we can find several more furnaces of medicinal materials for foundation-building pills to give to senior brother Zeng, I would like to give them to senior brother Zeng in the third hall. During the meeting of the Twelve Ministries, he will definitely be happy to bow to the leader."
Chu Zuoshu didn't understand what he said. He drank a glass of wine with confusion on his face.
"You mean to buy chalcedony, gold, zhi and other medicinal materials outside in the name of the sect? Isn't this unnecessary? If you do this, I will be looked down upon even more."
"Master, don't we give three of each batch of chalcedony and golden zhizhi to Jinguangya?"
Chen Mobai reminded him gently. Chu Zuoshu was stunned at first, and then his expression suddenly dawned.
"Will Jinguang Cliff agree?"
"I heard from Senior Brother Sun Gaochang that every time the chalcedony and golden zhi mature, the Spiritual Planting Department prepares ten furnaces of auxiliary medicine for refining the foundation-building pill and sends them back to Tiangu together. Receive the foundation-building pill We will also go to Dan, and then we will send it over. I think as long as there is no deviation in the quantity, even if they know about it, they won't say anything."
Shenmu Sect and Jinguangya are brother sects, and the two sects are connected by the same spirit. Whenever they fight, as long as they shout, the other side will basically arrive.
For example, in this war with Shanshan Mountain, if Mo Douguang hadn't taken action, the Shenmu Sect might not have been able to win.
So although the Shenmu Sect nominally only needs to give Jinguangya three chalcedony golden mushrooms every ten years, because Jinguangya's sword cultivators only know how to fight and are not good at farming and refining alchemy, they also help prepare auxiliary medicines.
Of course, Jinguangya will also give spirit stones, but the two factions have a good relationship, so it is basically a half-sale, half-giveaway.
What Chen Mobai meant was to give the three furnaces of foundation-building pills in Jinguangya to Zeng Woyou to refine. No matter how many pills were finally made, they would just make up the amount accordingly.
If such conditions exist, the latter will definitely be willing to give in to Chu Zuo at the meeting.
"I understand what you mean, but it's better to explain this matter clearly to Jinguangya in advance. Any trust starts to collapse from a little carelessness. It happens that next month the sect will go to Jinguangya for exchange and study. The disciples are coming back, and the person escorting them should be Jia Songyang. He is one of the twelve swordsmen in Jinguangya, and he is also a rare person in charge. I will communicate with him first."
After hearing these words, Chen Mobai also admired Chu Zuoshu even more. No wonder the two ancestors unanimously chose him to take over as the leader. He was extremely proficient in human conduct.
But Chu Zuoshu had the same idea, and felt that Chen Mobai was very knowledgeable about the world. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was very clever. It could not only increase his prestige within the sect, but also gradually free him from dependence on alchemy in Huitian Valley.
After all, suppressing Huitian Valley was the policy of the Five Elements Sect. After the ancestor of Hunyuan was enthroned, it was actually no longer possible.
The reason why Shenmu Sect still follows this rule is because when they first separated, they didn't have a third-level alchemist, so they could only find Tiangu to help.
Now that the development of the sect has entered a formal stage, since it is impossible to use alchemy to delay Yan Shaoyin's energy and practice, he should shift his focus to cultivating his own high-level alchemists.
"There are no third-level alchemists in Jinguang Cliff, but compared to Huitian Valley, I am definitely more willing to trust our Shenmu Sect and analyze the matter in detail. I think Senior Brother Jia will also agree with the leader's opinion."
"As long as we ensure that Jinguangya can obtain more than 12 foundation-building pills, with the relationship between our two sects, this matter will definitely be accomplished. Leave it to me next."
After solving a troublesome matter in his mind, Chu Zuoshu's tired face suddenly became full of energy.
After Chen Mobai had two drinks with him, he also said goodbye.
"Junior brother, someone previously proposed that you serve as Jianguo's guard. What do you think?"
"If the sect needs me to go, I will naturally not refuse."
The main reason why Chen Mobai came here today was for this reason. It has been almost three or four months since what Luo Xueer said, and this matter has not yet happened.
Guarding's resume is related to his future promotion to the upper echelons, so the sooner he can confirm it, the better.
But he couldn't help but seek connections by himself. After all, he was a genius sword cultivator in the Shenmu Sect, and he had to be aloof.
It happened that Zeng Woyou came to Chu Zuoshu and reminded him with his face.
Sure enough, Chu Zuoshu thought of it.
"Someone raised this issue before, but because there were not many people in favor, it was temporarily shelved. I will push it forward in two days."
Although there was no promise in his words, Chen Mobai knew that his appointment as Jianguo's guard should be a certainty.
After all, Chu Zuoshu is now the leader. If he really wants to do something, most of the twelve departments of the three palaces will not openly stop him.
Two days after returning to Xiaonanshan, Yan Jinye came over again.
"Brother, Inspector Sun came to see Master last night. During today's meeting, Master personally apologized to the boss."
Although the matter of the three furnaces of foundation-building pills in Jinguangya has not yet been confirmed, as long as Chu Zuoshu makes a promise to Zeng Woyou, the sect's credibility is guaranteed.
So when Zeng Woyou heard this condition, he didn't hesitate at all and bowed his head to Chu Zuoshu.
However, after all, the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill were not obtained yet, so Zeng Woyou did not tell Yan Jinye about the matter, but Chen Mobai did not care and told her the reason, but also ordered her to keep it secret and not to publicize it.
"Senior brother is not only extremely talented, but he is also proficient in the ways of the world. It can be seen that his swordsmanship is already as perfect as he wants."
"If possible, I just want to farm, but it's a pity that in this world, if I don't hold the sword, I can't protect the stability of the area under my feet."
As Chen Mobai spoke, he pointed to Xiaonan Mountain and the sixty acres of spiritual land at the foot of the mountain.
"Senior brother's level is far behind that of my little sister."
After settling the matter between Zeng Woyou and Chu Zuoshu, Chen Mobai accepted the three bamboo fruits with peace of mind.
As his realm of consciousness became higher and higher, the effect of the Qingmu Bamboo Spirit Dew on him began to become average. This is because he was distracted and used Qingmu Bamboo Spirit Dew to water the seeds of his consciousness. If it was used directly on the main consciousness, there would be no improvement.
So recently, he has been using it to improve the Dongxu Spiritual Eyes and rarely cultivates his spiritual consciousness.
However, after the foundation building was completed, Chen Mobai felt that another method of body training improved him.
At the beginning, he used 23 drops of immortal tree sap to refine his skull. Although it was refined using the precious fire body-building technique, a lot of vitality and spiritual energy were still hidden inside the bones. These spiritual energies would be refined throughout the bones of the body. After entering the longevity tree sap, a perfect cycle is formed, gradually infiltrating the flesh, blood and meridians of the whole body.
But now Chen Mobai can use the Immortality Sutra to activate the spiritual energy of the immortal tree sap sleeping in the bones, thereby improving the Dongxu Spiritual Eyes, and even slowly opening up the Zifu Sea of Consciousness.
It can only be said that it is a technique that comes from the same source after all. The Sutra of Immortality has a natural ability to control the sap of the longevity tree.
His Dongxu Spirit Eye also showed signs of success.
After sending Yan Jinye away, Chen Mobai also waited for the edict from the head of Shenmu Palace.
Let him succeed Liu Ruzhong, who returns next year, and become the governor of Jianguo.
Chen Mobai naturally took the order.
Although Jianguo Guards can take some time off in the Giant Wood Ridge, he still needs to inspect Liujiafang City within Jianguo territory, as well as Shenmu Sect's nine medicinal fields and fourteen mineral annexes.
But that’s all for next year.
After Chen Mobai taught the three disciples how to fight, he announced that he had gained some insights and needed to practice in seclusion, so he sealed the top of Xiaonan Mountain again.
Over at the Immortal Sect, the offline exchange and competition meeting at the Taoist Academy was about to begin, and he had to go over and confirm the candidates for the Wuqi Taoist Academy first.
But Chen Mobai did not go back to the Immortal Sect first, but took a "detour" to visit the Mystic Tree Realm first.
He has now completed the foundation building, and feels that he will definitely be able to reach the end in front of the avenue tree.
The sacred tree is towering.
The gray-brown bark bears the traces of time, but it also has the weight and majesty of the blue sky, suppressing the vastness.
Chen Mobai remembered the two times he stepped in front of the avenue tree. The first time he used a trick to use the phaseless puppet. With the help of the power of this third-order puppet, he stepped to the tenth step and obtained the Jianhong Light Spectrum. His realm has established his supreme reputation for victory in the two worlds.
The second time was on a whim, and I tested it with my real body.
It's a pity that it stopped at seven. Although it was a good result, he felt a little ashamed that so many resources were wasted.
And today, he stood in front of the avenue tree again.
When I reached the seventh step, although I felt mental and physical pressure, compared with the exhaustion that seemed to be exhausted before, now I just feel like a warm-up state with a slight sweat after exercise.
Still a little comfortable.
Ever since, he took the eighth step.
He vaguely heard a buzzing sound in his ears. The slight tinnitus made his vision blurry for a moment. The pressure three times stronger than before impacted his Zifu Sea of Consciousness, making Chen Mobai helpless. He stopped to digest the impact of this trial.
Not only is the consciousness being impacted, the spiritual power in the Dantian Qi sea and the blood of the physical body are also being consumed at the same time.
Only then did Chen Mobai understand that the Immortal Dao Pass was a comprehensive test for the monks' spirit, energy, and spirit. However, the monks here in the Tianhe Realm were more focused on improving their spiritual power than their spiritual consciousness. , that’s why during the trial, he always acted like his consciousness couldn’t bear it and passed out.
The capacity of the barrel depends on the shortest board.
Since the phaseless doll is a puppet, the test of spiritual power and physical body does not work. Only Chen Mobai's spiritual consciousness in it has its limit, so it can only take ten steps.
Compared with the previous time, although Chen Mobai's spiritual realm has improved a lot, it is still short compared to the perfect foundation of the Immortality Scripture.
During this eighth step, I actually felt a little tinnitus.
But this side effect is completely negligible for him.
He glanced at the avenue tree in front of him and took the ninth step.
The impact on his consciousness was even more terrifying, and there was a faint feeling of dizziness in his mind.
But it's still within the tolerance range.
Step ten.
The sudden headache made Chen Mobai involuntarily clench his teeth, and the perfect immortality spiritual power in his Dantian Qi Sea began to be consumed crazily.
But at this time, the effect of refining the longevity tree sap into his skull was revealed. A soft and warm spiritual energy enveloped his Zifu Sea of Consciousness, causing him to wake up quickly.
Then, he took the eleventh step!
"Ahem..."
Chen Mobai raised his palm and wiped the corner of his mouth. The bright red blood on his palm made him frown slightly, and the severe pain in his head was also a little unbearable.
If it weren't for the endless stream of warmth that was generated in his skull, nourishing his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness and relieving his headache, he might have passed out by now.
It is precisely because of this that he feels that he has not reached his limit and can still take another step.
Without hesitation, Chen Mobai moved forward again and took the twelfth step while riding on the spiritual energy of the longevity tree sap that had not been exhausted yet!
A "chi" sound!
His vision suddenly turned red, and he knew it was because his eyeballs were bloodshot, or rather he was bleeding from all his orifices.
At this point, even with the spiritual protection of the eternal tree sap, he has reached his limit.
That's it, come back next time.
The moment Chen Mobai turned around, a green leaf fell and fell into his forehead.
He experienced the scene of his spiritual consciousness in the formless doll in the past again.
[Twelve steps in front of the Great Avenue Tree, if your grades are at the top level, you can be my Holy Son of Immortality. 】
