Chapter 768: Pure Yang True Qi

Pure Nine Lotus Lantern: 1,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,9,9

After Fu Zongjue learned about the effects of the Purple Jade Porridge, he didn't care that Chen Mobai was standing right there and drank the entire pot of porridge from the spiritual energy rice cooker in one gulp. After finishing it, he burped contentedly, then happily picked up the spiritual energy rice cooker and took his leave.

"Junior Brother Chen, I'm going to enter seclusion for a year or two. Just call me if anything comes up."

After Chen Mobai shared the simple recipe for this medicated meal, Fu Zongjue's mind, which had been constrained by a bottleneck for many years, suddenly became invigorated. If his cultivation realm could break through, who would want to waste time everyday on external arts like puppetry?

"Senior Brother Fu, rest assured, the sect has me!"

Chen Mobai had initially considered purchasing three spiritual energy rice cookers from the Immortal Sect to give one each to Fu Zongjue, Nujiang, and Sheng Zhaoxi. However, after careful consideration, he decided that, given their varying degrees of closeness, it would be best to prioritize Fu Zongjue. Once Fu Zongjue successfully breaks through, Nujiang and Sheng Zhaoxi will naturally learn of it, and then he can give them the spiritual energy rice cooker that Fu Zongjue used. This approach would be even more effective in winning people's hearts. Nujiang and Sheng Zhaoxi would realize that Chen Mobai genuinely considered them his own, sharing something so valuable, thereby laying the groundwork for the future complete unification of the five lineages.

After handling this matter, Chen Mobai had Gu Yan summon E Yun. Although E Yun was capable, Chen Mobai was still a bit uneasy, as she had only just begun overseeing all the major affairs of the sect's Three Halls and Twelve Divisions. However, it turned out that the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions all showed him respect. Knowing that E Yun was his direct subordinate, they were generally compliant and accepted her role in replacing Yue Zuntao. Since that was the case, Chen Mobai returned to Tianpeng Mountain with peace of mind.

Qing Nü was refining the second batch of True Return Pills, and although she didn't need his help, his presence always made her happy. Sometimes, the success rate and quality of a batch of pills largely depend on the alchemist's state and mood during refining, significantly improving when they are in high spirits. While Qing Nü refined pills, Chen Mobai sat beside her, contemplating how to enhance his fire spiritual root while refining the Five Elements Essence Qi.

The quality of these thirty portions was slightly better than the first batch, indicating that with persistent effort and ambition, one can indeed grow steadily. Building on his previous experience, this refinement of the Five Elements Essence Qi proceeded even more smoothly. In just one and a half months, Chen Mobai had fully refined all thirty portions.

In his Middle Dantian, there was now one large and two small masses of Primordial Chaos True Qi. Under the control of his divine sense, the two smaller masses of Primordial Chaos True Qi began to slowly merge. This process did not last long either; about seven days later, the two smaller masses combined to form half a stream of Primordial Chaos True Qi. At this rate, in another two years, he could cultivate a complete stream of Primordial Chaos True Qi. To be honest, this progress was already very fast.

According to the records of the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit, one needs to cultivate forty-nine (seven times seven) streams of Primordial Chaos True Qi before being able to condense the nascent form of the Dao Fruit and officially step into the threshold of this supreme divine ability of the One-Yuan Dao Palace. For a Golden Core cultivator, this was almost impossible to achieve. Patriarch Primordial Chaos had relied on complete Five Elements Spirit Fruits, and Zhou Ye had used the same method, both depending on external resources.

Cultivators were originally known as Qi Refiners, condensing a wisp of true qi, almost akin to the origin of heaven and earth, to comprehend the essence of cultivation techniques and the Dao韵 of all things. And with different spiritual energy attributes, the true qi condensed would naturally also be different. For example, Zhou Shengqing, who cultivated the Everlasting Life Scripture, condensed nine streams of Everlasting True Qi before forming his Nascent Soul. With nine streams of Everlasting True Qi, he could autonomously initiate the Nascent Soul formation process. The more he condensed, the deeper his foundation would be. But the limit of the Everlasting Life Scripture was eighteen streams of Everlasting True Qi. Later, Zhou Shengqing acquired the Azure Emperor Everlasting Scripture. Coupled with his higher cultivation realm after forming his Nascent Soul, he also supplemented parts with his own understanding. This cultivation method can now, at most, allow for the condensation of twenty-four streams of Everlasting True Qi before forming a Nascent Soul. In the Tianhe Realm, this was already considered a very good Nascent Soul cultivation method.

If Chen Mobai wished to form his Nascent Soul using the Pure Yang Scroll, he would need to condense a minimum of thirty-six streams of Pure Yang True Qi. The upper limit of this Immortal Sect's God Transformation Grand Method, however, was eighty-one streams of Pure Yang True Qi. The Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit, a divine ability left by an ascended cultivator, required a minimum of forty-nine streams of Primordial Chaos True Qi, but its maximum limit was not recorded. Chen Mobai initially suspected that Zhou Ye had held back during the transmission, but at the time, Zhou Ye had sworn a Dao Heart oath, promising to have conveyed the entire scripture taught to him by Patriarch Primordial Chaos.

So, Chen Mobai had two guesses about this. One was that Patriarch Primordial Chaos himself had not received the complete Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit inheritance, and the other was that perhaps the Primordial Chaos True Qi condensed by this Dao Fruit had no upper limit! After all, the so-called upper limit was only for cultivators at the perfected Golden Core realm. Once a cultivator breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, the amount of true qi they can condense depends solely on whether their body can contain it and their divine sense can control it.

Chen Mobai did not delve deeper into this issue. After all, he cultivated the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit primarily because it allowed him to pass the core-shattering-to-soul-formation stage without risk. The other effects, such as breaking through the Five Elements spiritual energy, were merely incidental benefits.

After synthesizing half a stream of Primordial Chaos True Qi, Chen Mobai began to shift his attention to the fundamental Pure Yang Scroll. At the Golden Core eighth layer realm, he could already start trying to condense Pure Yang True Qi. He sat cross-legged under the revived Five-Horned Ancient Maple on the mountaintop and took out the wisp of Pure Yang Qi obtained from the Heaven Mending Dao Academy.

But Chen Mobai quickly discovered that he couldn't refine it. The Pure Yang Qi was simply too high-grade; it was a fifth-tier True Qi left by Patriarch Yuanyang. Even a mere wisp of it was incredibly dense and vast for him. Although he was renowned as having the potential for God Transformation, he was still just a Golden Core cultivator after all. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Pure Yang Scroll, wishing to refine this fifth-tier Pure Yang Qi for their own use, would need to proceed cautiously, slowly "swallowing an elephant like a snake." At Chen Mobai's current realm, wanting to refine it was like an ant trying to swallow an elephant.

However, although he couldn't refine it, as a reference, it was still of great use. If Chen Mobai were to condense Pure Yang True Qi on his own, he would have to slowly grope his way. Now, however, he could simply use this fifth-tier Pure Yang Qi as a direct reference. He most enjoyed the pleasure of copying answers.

Sitting cross-legged beneath the Five-Horned Ancient Maple, he utilized the potent fire spiritual energy there to mobilize his Pure Yang spiritual energy, continuously condensing and fusing it. However, even with Patriarch Yuanyang's Pure Yang Qi as a reference, he still found it very difficult. Three whole days passed, and he only made a little progress. He estimated with his Square Inch Book that it might take two years to transform the first wisp of Pure Yang True Qi. After all, in both the Immortal Sect and the Tianhe Realm, cultivators generally only attempted to condense True Qi once they reached the perfected Golden Core realm. His cultivation realm was still a bit lacking.

If it were other cultivators, they might grit their teeth and start this process of "water dripping through stone," or wait until after reaching the perfected Golden Core realm, then try again. But Chen Mobai was not that kind of person! When he encountered difficulties, he would always deal with them using his consistent successful experiences. Moreover, he had already anticipated this and formulated a solution.

With a thought, the Boundary opened. A sealed spirit tube containing a wisp of Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi descended. He had condensed this earlier at Great Wood Ridge. The Purple-Azure Demon Refining Heavenly Book had already been fully analyzed by him with the aid of the Crown of Heaven and Earth's Myriad Beings. He now completely understood the source, refining method, and effects of the Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi. Besides assisting in the nurturing and cultivation of a Nascent Soul, this Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi could also combine with any spiritual energy to transform into Acquired True Qi. Chen Mobai wanted to try this function today.

After transmitting his voice to Qing Nü about this, he opened the sealed spirit tube and absorbed this wisp of Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi into his body. Under the control of his divine sense, the Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi gently entered his Dantian Qi Sea. The long-waiting Pure Yang spiritual energy began to surge up and combine with this wisp of Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi. At that instant, Chen Mobai felt as if a small sun had ignited within his Dantian, and an extremely pure, fiery Yang energy was born.

Chen Mobai immediately entered the state of the Square Inch Book, and in a perfectly pure and calm state, he began guiding his Pure Yang spiritual energy to merge with the Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi. The former began to sublimate and evolve, transforming into higher quality energy. Within his Dantian Qi Sea, streams of Pure Yang spiritual energy, like stars orbiting the moon, continuously surged towards the core of the Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi. Approximately ten portions of Pure Yang spiritual energy could fuse with one portion of the Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi. In this process of refining and purification, this new force gathered into a mass, condensing into one. This was Pure Yang True Qi!

As soon as it was condensed, Chen Mobai felt the high quality of this true qi. Compared to Pure Yang True Qi, Pure Yang spiritual energy was like the difference between ordinary iron ore and alloy steel. He channeled this wisp of Pure Yang True Qi into the Vast Heaven Mirror, and the life-bound magical artifact immediately began to emit an unprecedentedly brilliant mirror light. Ever since the Vast Heaven Mirror advanced, Chen Mobai had noticed that no matter how much Pure Yang spiritual energy he injected, it would always convey a sense of dissatisfaction. At that time, he knew that Pure Yang spiritual energy could no longer satisfy this fourth-tier life-bound magical artifact. Only Pure Yang True Qi could fully unleash its entire power. Like the Purple Lightning Sword, even though it fully cooperated with Chen Mobai, no amount of Pure Yang spiritual energy or spirit stones could allow it to unleash its full power.

"Only true qi can unleash the true power of a fourth-tier magical artifact!"

Chen Mobai nodded. From the Vast Heaven Mirror, he took back the wisp of Pure Yang True Qi he had just condensed. The Vast Heaven Mirror was very reluctant, but under Chen Mobai's will as its master, it grudgingly released it. Chen Mobai guided this wisp of Pure Yang True Qi into his Golden Core and soon felt a slight swelling sensation. He silently recited a spell from the Pure Yang Scroll and began to circulate it.

The Golden Core emitted a scorching warm current, circulating through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians in a grand circulation. Wherever it passed, it felt like invisible ripples cleansed and refined him, causing his body's blood temperature to rise slightly. His bones, meridians, internal organs, and more also subtly began to improve during this process. This process, named "Qi Harmonization Grand Circulation, Pure Yang Body Refining," was a passive skill of the Pure Yang Dharma Body, activated upon cultivating Pure Yang True Qi. It would continuously enhance the physical strength of a Pure Yang Scroll cultivator. This is precisely why Pure Yang Scroll cultivators generally don't spend much time on body refining techniques. Besides their already tight schedule for cultivating the Pure Yang Dharma Body, their physical strength automatically improves through this spell once their cultivation realm advances. However, passive effects are definitely inferior to the effects and intensity of active cultivation.

Chen Mobai felt that with the enhancement of Pure Yang Body Refining, his Everlasting Dao Body, which had been stagnant for a long time, showed a hint of breakthrough. He was overjoyed. If he could advance his Everlasting Dao Body to the fourth tier before forming his Nascent Soul, his success rate for Nascent Soul formation would significantly increase. This was also another effective application of Pure Yang Body Refining: it could facilitate breakthroughs in body refining techniques for Pure Yang Scroll cultivators.

Although Pure Yang Body Refining was a passive skill, if kept constantly active, it would continuously consume Pure Yang spiritual energy or Pure Yang True Qi. If Pure Yang True Qi was used, the effect would be even better. However, Chen Mobai had only just cultivated a single wisp, which he naturally wouldn't expend. He only dared to let his Golden Core consume Pure Yang spiritual energy, of which he had an abundance. With twenty-six small void cycles in continuous use, it would suffice for him to cultivate uninterrupted for three hundred and sixty-five days a year.

After activating the passive effect of Pure Yang Body Refining, Chen Mobai continued to study the Pure Yang True Qi. Once he had thirty-six streams within his Golden Core, he could attempt to form his Nascent Soul. At this time, he took out the Vast Heaven Mirror again and let it absorb that wisp of fifth-tier Pure Yang Qi from Patriarch Yuanyang. The Vast Heaven Mirror immediately conveyed a feeling of joy. A fourth-tier Pure Yang magical artifact could just barely withstand fifth-tier Pure Yang Qi, and since they originated from the same source, it could subtly provide the Vast Heaven Mirror with the perfect environment for its spiritual growth. It was a pity that Chen Mobai's other life-bound magical artifact, the Morning Bell, was only third-tier; otherwise, he would have divided the Pure Yang Qi into two and distributed the benefits equally.

After completing all these, Chen Mobai withdrew his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes. He took out his phone and checked the time. Unconsciously, another two months had passed. This was due to his use of the Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi; otherwise, refining Pure Yang True Qi would have required significantly more time. He rose and emerged from seclusion. As he opened the barrier, he saw the charmingly smiling Qing Nü already waiting outside.

"From your expression, you must have succeeded!" Qing Nü walked over, actively took his hand, and spoke first.

"With the help of the Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi, I barely managed to condense a wisp of Pure Yang True Qi. Now I understand why Senior Qingjing and Senior Qingshi didn't use this method for condensing true qi — it's simply too wasteful." Chen Mobai shook his head and sighed, explaining that a wisp of Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi could only help transform one wisp of true qi. However, a complete stream of Nine Heavens Clear Spirit Purple Splendor Qi was a natural spiritual medicine for Nascent Soul formation, making its value far too precious compared to merely condensing true qi. Moreover, the process of condensing true qi could be slowly achieved through one's own diligent effort. Forming a Nascent Soul, however, was different; that slight increase in probability might be what allowed a cultivator to cross that insurmountable chasm.

"Then you can wait until you've perfected your Golden Core before trying to condense Pure Yang True Qi again. Conveniently, I've just refined another batch of True Return Pills. This time, eight pills formed, and all are of the Immortal Sect's standard, poison-free quality." After Qing Nü heard this, she then spoke a good piece of news.

"Hahaha, ever since you came here, I feel like all the news I've received has been good news!" Chen Mobai's face lit up with joy. He then reached out, picked up Qing Nü, and gently placed her on a wooden table in front of the cabin. His blood qi, somewhat agitated from the Pure Yang Body Refining, found its most thorough release amidst her soft moans.

Unconsciously, Chen Mobai had already stayed on Tianpeng Mountain for more than half a year. The excuses for cultivation breakthroughs and realm consolidation were almost used up. He felt it was time to return to the Immortal Sect and make an appearance.

After bidding farewell to the reluctant Qing Nü, Chen Mobai first returned to Great Wood Ridge, then sought out Zhou Shengqing and handed him a True Return Pill.

"Please help me pass this to Senior Brother Mo, Senior Brother Zhou. With this, he can save the effort of accumulating spiritual energy and quickly reach perfected Golden Core." As he was in the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai only dared to entrust Zhou Shengqing with delivering this item; otherwise, he would have had to make the trip himself.

"I'll thank Junior Brother Mo on his behalf!" Since the Five Elements Sect had previously collaborated with the Heaven-Returning Valley to refine True Return Pills, Zhou Shengqing was aware of the pill's effects and solemnly thanked Chen Mobai.

"This was refined by the disciple of an extraordinary senior I met previously. That senior had to face an unprecedentedly terrifying heavenly tribulation, so he left his secluded dwelling in the desolate ruins and went overseas to seek opportunities for transcending it. However, his disciple's cultivation isn't high enough for her to accompany him out of Eastern Continent. Without the senior's care, it would be difficult for her to survive in a dangerous place like the desolate ruins, so she came to me. Back then, I was able to cultivate the Spirit Revitalization Water thanks to that extraordinary senior. Naturally, I felt duty-bound, so I settled her in the Tianpeng Mountain Villa…" Chen Mobai, as sect master for years, was often away from Great Wood Ridge and Beiyuan City, frequently visiting Tianpeng Mountain. This naturally did not escape Zhou Shengqing's notice. However, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue had absolute trust in him, so they did not inquire further. Chen Mobai, however, knew that he would eventually have to openly marry Qing Nü into the sect, so he had already begun subtly fabricating a suitable background for her.

"Although Tianpeng Mountain Villa is a fourth-tier spiritual vein, that extraordinary senior's kindness to me is akin to a rebirth. How about I relinquish my Everlasting Daoist Abode and let the senior's disciple cultivate there?" After hearing this, Zhou Shengqing felt that the Tianpeng Mountain Villa's standard was a bit low and solemnly made a suggestion. In his view, this mysterious, extraordinary individual who could refine Spirit Revitalization Water and lived in seclusion in the desolate ruins was at least a great Nascent Soul cultivator, possibly even an old God Transformation monster. Even without any existing gratitude, they should still make every effort to befriend his disciple.

Chen Mobai naturally refused repeatedly, stating that the extraordinary senior's disciple disliked showing off and only enjoyed refining pills, needing merely a Daoist Abode with abundant fire spiritual energy for cultivation. Tianpeng Mountain Villa was just right.

"Then I'll trouble Junior Brother to take good care of the senior's disciple. After Yan Shaoyin left, the Eastern Wilderness is short of outstanding alchemists. Perhaps in the future, our Five Elements Sect's Golden Core spiritual medicines, or even your Nascent Soul formation spiritual medicines, will still require her assistance!" Zhou Shengqing's words made Chen Mobai nod repeatedly. He would certainly take good care of Qing Nü.

After laying the groundwork in front of his two Senior Brothers, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue, Chen Mobai was already thinking about when to formally bring Qing Nü into the Five Elements Sect. If Mo Douguang takes the True Return Pill, and Nujiang and Sheng Zhaoxi later achieve breakthroughs with the Purple Jade Porridge, it will mean that most high-ranking cultivators in the Five Elements Sect will owe a debt of gratitude to Qing Nü. This way, when he proposes to become Dao companions with Qing Nü and make her the sect master's wife, there will be no resistance.

"Is there still no news from Yan Shaoyin?" Before Zhou Shengqing left, he suddenly recalled this final obstacle to the Eastern Wilderness's unification and couldn't help but ask Chen Mobai. Although he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he had already handed over all Five Elements Sect affairs to Chen Mobai, so he needed to inquire about intelligence in this area.

"He should be forming his Nascent Soul in Dongyue. Our Five Elements Sect's influence has only just expanded beyond the Eastern Wilderness with Junior Nephew Yue, so we cannot investigate the specifics of his Nascent Soul formation. I also probed Lou Xuelong about this, but he clearly understood the gravity of the situation and did not answer directly. However, there's some news from the Heavenly Dining Pavilion, saying that Yan Shaoyin was personally seen entering the large teleportation array in Golden Crow Immortal City with the Star Heaven Grand Merchant Association, so I speculate he is in Dongyue." Chen Mobai shared what he knew. Zhou Shengqing nodded lightly; in truth, he believed there was no need to concern themselves with Yan Shaoyin—they could simply lead the Five Elements Sect army there and flatten the Heaven-Returning Valley. However, under Chen Mobai's leadership in recent years, the Five Elements Sect had developed into the largest sect in the Eastern Wilderness. So since he chose to wait and see, Zhou Shengqing naturally agreed. After all, flattening the Heaven-Returning Valley might mean falling out with the Star Heaven Grand Merchant Association. If they could avoid this risk, it would be best!

After Zhou Shengqing departed for Golden Light Cliff, Chen Mobai also announced his seclusion, sealed his Everlasting Wood Daoist Abode, and then returned to the Immortal Sect.

On Danxia Mountain Peak, Chen Mobai, who had broken through to the "seventh layer" of Golden Core, spent what seemed to outsiders an unusually long time consolidating his realm. Just as some people were speculating that he might have been too eager to break through, perhaps resulting in an unstable foundation, which was why he hadn't emerged from seclusion—that night, a brilliant mirror light illuminated Danxia Mountain Peak, rising from the crown of the massive Jade Phoenix Tree like a great sun in the night, shining brightly! The bright mirror light lasted for three whole days and three whole nights! It immediately attracted everyone's attention! After all, this was where the God Transformation potential cultivator was in seclusion! He had just broken through to the seventh layer of Golden Core, yet he had created such a magnificent display. What was the reason?

When the bright mirror light faded, Chen Mobai also announced his emergence from seclusion. After spending a pleasant and relaxing time with his family, he had to return to Wangwu Grotto-Heaven. Meanwhile, master artifact refiners within the Immortal Sect, observing the brilliant mirror light in the video, had already deduced why Chen Mobai had remained on Danxia Mountain Peak for half a year after breaking through to the seventh layer of Golden Core. It turned out he wasn't consolidating his realm at all, but rather, after his breakthrough, he was dedicating time and effort to nurturing the spirituality of his life-bound magical artifact.

"Artifact Spirit" was also well-known among everyone in the Immortal Sect. However, those who could genuinely cultivate one were exceptionally rare in any era. If a master artifact refiner hadn't pointed it out, no one in the Immortal Sect would have conceived of such a thing. Unexpectedly, Chen Mobai, with his potential for God Transformation, not only possessed cultivation talent on par with Patriarch Yuanyang and sword Dao talent comparable to Patriarch Baiguang, but was also an absolute genius in artifact refining!

He is a graduate of our Weapon Arts Dao Academy! Do you understand the value of being the chief of the Weapon Arts Dao Academy!

Speaking anonymously, Committee Member Chen was already very interested in artifact refining when he was in high school. I had the privilege of collaborating with him several times back then, and I always felt that if he focused on artifact refining, he would surely become the most outstanding artifact refiner in the Immortal Sect, perhaps even surpassing Senior Chengxuan, a fifth-tier artifact refiner! In Danxia City, the already white-haired Wu Wan put down his keyboard and clicked send on the forum. Leaning back in his chair, he couldn't help but recall the time he collaborated with Chen Mobai to upgrade the Five Transformations Umbrella. The more he thought about it, the more honored he felt to have been able to collaborate with such a significant figure.

Chen Mobai was naturally unaware that the cultivation of an Artifact Spirit had caused a massive uproar online. People felt that "God Transformation potential" was no longer sufficient to describe his formidable talent; a more representative term was needed. Soon, among numerous candidates, "Immortal Ascension Potential" received the most votes and recognition. The Immortal Sect upheld the concept of becoming an Immortal, believing that transcending the God Transformation realm meant achieving Immortality. The origin of the Immortal Sect also had reasons related to this.

After Chen Mobai heard the online discussions relayed by Xiao Hei, he felt it was a bit too much! He was merely at the Golden Core realm and hadn't even achieved Nascent Soul yet. His "God Transformation potential" hadn't even fully manifested, so how could it suddenly leap directly to "Immortal Ascension potential"! Regarding this, he could only try to be as low-key as possible. However, since the Vast Heaven Mirror was his life-bound magical artifact and would undoubtedly be revealed within the Immortal Sect in the future, the matter of his having cultivated an Artifact Spirit certainly needed to be foreshadowed. Fortunately, he had graduated from the Weapon Arts Dao Academy and had once apprenticed under Hong Mengkui, systematically studying artifact refining. Thus, while the fact that he cultivated an Artifact Spirit for the Vast Heaven Mirror greatly astonished the Immortal Sect, it was still something everyone could accept.

But Chen Mobai was very clear in his heart: this was not his own ability or merit. He could deceive others, but he absolutely must not deceive himself! So, he quietly returned to Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, intending to cancel his leave with Senior Shuixian and then, as usual, handle things without attracting attention. Time could calm everything. He believed that with the passage of time, the Immortal Sect's discussions about his "Immortal Ascension potential" would gradually subside.

But just as he disembarked from the airship and got into Hua Zijing's waiting car, he discovered two familiar people already inside. It was Hong Mengkui, who taught him artifact refining, and his disciple, Bian Jingchun.

"You brat, with such talent in artifact refining, why don't you cultivate the Can Tong Qi!" Hong Mengkui said something deeply regretful to Chen Mobai.
