Chapter 829: Goldwind's Storage Bag

After Zhou Shengqing took his men to the Duojiushan Spirit Stone Mine, Chen Mobai summoned Zhou Ye.

According to the roster Chen Mobai had been tallying during this period, Xuanxiao Dao Palace surprisingly had thirty thousand disciples.

However, in the great wars over the years, they had lost two to three thousand people.

Furthermore, Patriarch Jinfeng had led out ten thousand elite troops, who were ambushed by the 미리 prepared Five Elements Sect and almost completely annihilated.

Nevertheless, some lucky Xuanxiao Dao Palace disciples managed to evade the Five Elements Sect cultivators' interception and fled into the Wilderness Ruins.

However, many of them ended up being devoured by the demonic beasts within the Wilderness Ruins. Even if they were fortunate enough to escape the Wilderness Ruins alive, they certainly wouldn't dare return to Dongyi.

This was because Mount Mingjing had already been occupied by the Five Elements Sect.

Here, despite the Five Elements Sect's army having laid siege in advance, quite a few Xuanxiao Dao Palace disciples still managed to escape.

This was due to the sheer number of people.

Within Mount Mingjing, there were also tens of thousands of Xuanxiao Dao Palace disciples.

When the formation was breached, many scattered in disarray. After the Five Elements Sect charged in, they were busy seizing control of key hubs such as the medicine fields, alchemy rooms, and artifact armories. Their concentrated efforts were on pursuing and apprehending Foundation Establishment level Xuanxiao Dao Palace disciples.

After these individuals escaped, according to the rules of the Tianhe Realm, the Five Elements Sect was bound to pursue them.

Chen Mobai assigned Zhou Ye to handle this matter.

However, according to his instructions, during the pursuit, if Xuanxiao Dao Palace disciples were willing to surrender, their lives could be spared.

After all, they were cultivators and could be used in the future to open up the Wilderness Ruins between Donghuang and Dongyi.

"Sect Master, I led a team and apprehended three hundred and sixty-seven Xuanxiao Dao Palace disciples, including seven at the Foundation Establishment stage, and those at the late Qi Cultivation stage..."

Upon entering, Zhou Ye reported his recent achievements to Chen Mobai.

In fact, there were originally more than this number, but many Xuanxiao Dao Palace cultivators resisted fiercely, so he dealt heavy blows, sending them directly to their deaths.

"You've worked hard. These are the sixteen sects and families within Dongyi that have good relations with Xuanxiao Dao Palace. Go and communicate with them, see if they are willing to cooperate with our Five Elements Sect."

Chen Mobai handed Zhou Ye a list.

As the foremost alchemy sect in Dongyi, Xuanxiao Dao Palace not only possessed its own thirty thousand mu of medicine fields, but also had numerous long-term cooperative medicinal material suppliers outside the sect.

These sixteen factions in Dongyi were all powers with Core Formation cultivators presiding over them, and they generally had some connections with the former three major sects, which enabled them to cooperate with Xuanxiao Dao Palace.

Across all of Dongyi, apart from the three major Nascent Soul sects, these sixteen factions were considered paramount.

A total of nineteen powers controlled various aspects of Dongyi, including all its spirit veins.

Now that the Five Elements Sect occupied Mount Mingjing, these powers were undoubtedly observing the situation. Therefore, Chen Mobai sent Zhou Ye to first extend courtesy, then resort to force if necessary.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

After Zhou Ye left, the task of pursuing Xuanxiao Dao Palace cultivators ceased, which was a deliberate decision by Chen Mobai.

Those who needed to be killed had mostly been dealt with. The next step was to use gentler methods to gradually absorb Xuanxiao Dao Palace's territory.

Continuously killing would, on the contrary, be detrimental to future governance.

After all, this place was vast and rich in resources. If cultivators simply found a spirit vein location to hide, it would be impossible for the Five Elements Sect, with its mere few thousand members, to find them all.

The pursuit was merely a formality. Its primary purpose was to use this action to declare to all of Dongyi that Xuanxiao Dao Palace's territory now belonged to the Five Elements Sect.

Once the immediate matters were largely handled, Chen Mobai put down the account books and took out a storage pouch.

It belonged to Patriarch Jinfeng, and he hadn't had time to examine it closely.

Mainly, Chen Mobai was now wealthy, and he no longer had the initial enthusiasm for opening storage pouches.

He took out some talisman paper and a talisman brush, drew a Fourth-Order spatial talisman, activated it, and slapped it onto the storage pouch.

After the pouch opened, faint golden light wafted out, accompanied by gusts of wind, like a gentle golden breeze and fine rain, creating a feeling that was both warm and refreshing.

Chen Mobai was very curious. His divine sense entered the pouch, and the first thing he saw was a pile of top-grade spirit stones. He counted them and found there were seven in total.

"No wonder Xuanxiao Dao Palace only had high-grade spirit stones; it turns out Patriarch Jinfeng took all the best ones!"

Chen Mobai immediately took out all seven top-grade spirit stones and discovered that two of them were mutated metal-attribute, and two were wind-attribute. They were of the same nature as Earth Mother Stones and Water Origin Profound Stones. If used as cores, they could establish a Fourth-Order spirit vein of the corresponding attribute.

However, two of them showed signs of having been absorbed, clearly indicating Patriarch Jinfeng had been using them himself.

Even so, they were still extremely precious to cultivators.

Chen Mobai planned to give one to Mo Douguang, who could use it when he formed his Nascent Soul.

The remaining three top-grade spirit stones were non-attributed, meaning all cultivators could absorb them.

Besides the top-grade spirit stones, the storage pouch also contained a mountain of high-grade spirit stones. Chen Mobai counted them and found there were actually eight thousand.

It could only be said that Patriarch Jinfeng was truly wealthy, worthy of being Dongyi's foremost alchemist.

His personal wealth was almost comparable to the entire accumulated wealth of Xuanxiao Dao Palace.

Gazing at the dazzling light of the spirit stones, Chen Mobai transferred them along with the ten thousand high-grade spirit stones he had previously collected into another storage pouch, then placed it into his personal realm.

Next, he eagerly examined the other contents of Patriarch Jinfeng's storage pouch.

There were over a dozen books and scrolls, all containing Xuanxiao Dao Palace's most valuable inheritances.

Four of them were their interpretations of the immortal scripture jade slip's content over three millennia. Another six were derived from these, containing alchemy inheritances, along with dozens of First to Third-Order pill formulas.

Some of these were collected and supplemented by Xuanxiao Dao Palace itself. Since Xuanxiao Dao Palace possessed pill formulas from the immortal scripture jade slip, according to the Tianhe Realm, they had inheritances for First to Fifth-Order alchemy.

With these, the Five Elements Sect, even without Qing Nü, would be able to claim itself as Dongyi's foremost alchemy sect in the future.

Besides the alchemy inheritances, there were cultivation techniques.

The first, "Grand Heavenly Wind Technique," he had already obtained from Xuanshu, so he merely glanced at it and set it aside.

The second was a metal-attribute technique, "Profound Gold Dharma Body," which could be cultivated to the peak of the Fourth-Order.

However, what surprised Chen Mobai the most was a dual metal and water attribute sword art named "Clear Mirror Still Water Sword Art."

Needless to say, this sword art was certainly the foundational technique of the Clear Mirror Sword Sect, the former master of Mount Mingjing and a major Nascent Soul sect in Dongyi.

After reading it once, Chen Mobai found it quite interesting.

It was somewhat similar to the 'Cun Shu'. When engaging an enemy, the Clear Mirror Still Water sword heart could reflect the opponent's weaknesses. The longer the engagement, the higher the chance of victory.

It wasn't very useful to Chen Mobai, but it could be shown to Mo Douguang and Nujiang. After all, it was a sword art that could be cultivated to the perfected Nascent Soul stage, and within the Five Elements Sect, it was only inferior to the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

The rest were common Fourth-Order cultivation technique inheritances and the like. Chen Mobai quickly scanned them, found nothing particularly noteworthy, and planned to bring them back to the Five Elements Sect later to supplement their own inheritances.

Next, there were bottles of pills.

Having spent many years with Qing Nü, Chen Mobai also knew some minor identification techniques. He opened the bottles and discerned that many of them were Fourth-Order pills.

Each pill contained astonishing medicinal power, clearly prepared by Patriarch Jinfeng for himself.

The only one he was familiar with was a bottle of Profound Heaven Dark Gold Pills.

This type of longevity pill could fetch an exorbitant price when it found the right buyer.

Chen Mobai put all the pills away. Although he possessed the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram and was immune to all poisons, he decided to wait for Qing Nü to identify them before considering whether they were suitable for his consumption.

Besides the pills, to his pleasant surprise, there were also numerous rare thousand-year-old medicinal herbs.

These were clearly Fourth-Order herbs whose medicinal properties had been sealed using secret methods after maturation.

He took them out one by one and observed them carefully.

There was a spiritual herb shaped like a dragon's body, containing dense wood-attribute spiritual energy. It was likely the legendary "Green Ridge Ginseng," which could be refined into pills that enhance wood-attribute spiritual power.

There was also a fiery red flower that, even sealed, still blazed with vivid flames, clearly an excellent material for refining fire-attribute pills.

Additionally, there were "Netherworld Grass," "Gold-Silver Ganoderma," "Hundred Revolutions Vine," and more.

He counted them, finding a total of forty-six types. These were clearly Fourth-Order medicinal herbs that had matured in Xuanxiao Dao Palace over the years, essential for refining high-grade pills. However, they had all now fallen into Chen Mobai's hands.

After meticulously sorting these thousand-year-old medicinal herbs and repacking them into another storage pouch, Chen Mobai was already considering what pills he could refine using them.

At this moment, he finally understood why cultivators in the Tianhe Realm were so keen on becoming rogue cultivators who specialize in looting.

What he painstakingly cultivated and accumulated would take over a thousand years to yield such a harvest, yet killing Patriarch Jinfeng instantly brought immense wealth.

However, he still needed to exercise restraint and not drag the Five Elements Sect into a quagmire of war because of this.

Chen Mobai struck the morning bell several times, suppressing the sudden covetous inner demon that had appeared.

The contents of Patriarch Jinfeng's storage pouch were truly too precious.

There were also many Fourth-Order ores, and even some scraps of Fifth-Order Profound Gold. Chen Mobai collected them, intending to use them to upgrade his Dharma artifacts.

Finally, what tumbled out of the storage pouch was a square white jade box.

Chen Mobai, filled with curiosity, opened it.

Soon, a fist-sized, deep blue gem caught his eye. The gem seemed to contain an ocean, with rippling blue waves within it.

Chen Mobai sensed it and couldn't help but show a shocked expression.

This was a Fifth-Order material.

"Patriarch Jinfeng was truly wealthy!"

Chen Mobai sighed once more, then carefully took out the deep blue gem. He used the 'Cun Shu' to search the knowledge stored within the Heaven's Calculation Pearl, hoping to identify its origin.

Several possibilities were retrieved from the Immortal Sect's knowledge base, but after careful discernment, he shook his head at each one.

He then searched the Tianhe Realm's knowledge base. Soon, he made a discovery and immediately took out the Jellyfish Palace's Daoist scripture jade slip, turning to the page with the Taiyi Shengshui Pill formula.

Subsequently, an expression of unconcealed joy appeared on his face.

Indeed, this was the main ingredient for the Taiyi Shengshui Pill formula.
