Chapter 918: Intercepting Yuanyang Sword Intent

After placing the Violet Green Twin Swords into the Sword Cleansing Pool for nurturing, Chen Mobai left Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal City with Qing Nü.

The Baby Nurturing Pill was being nurtured in the Pure Yang Cauldron, and Qing Nü could carry it with her.

They had originally planned to return directly to Yellow Dragon Cave Abode, but something came up in North Abyss City, so the two made a detour.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Inside the main hall of North Abyss City, Mu Yuan and Yan Yuanhao entered and bowed to Chen Mobai.

Both of them had reached the perfected Foundation Establishment stage in their cultivation and wished to apply for Spirit Pills for Core Formation.

After putting two Wood Element Golden Core Pills up for exchange at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, Chen Mobai called his eldest disciple over.

Currently, he only had four Water Element Golden Core Pills and one Wood Element Golden Core Pill left among his Core Formation spirit medicines.

Since there were more talents in the Wood Meridian, the Wood Element Golden Core Pills, which Qing Nü had later refined, were actually consumed the fastest.

Fortunately, Wan Dengyong was only in the late Foundation Establishment stage and did not need Core Formation spirit medicine yet.

As two pills were reserved for Liu Wenbai, Chen Mobai inquired about his eldest disciple's progress in cultivation.

"Master, I believe I can complete both cultivation techniques within two to three years," Liu Wenbai respectfully replied.

Among Chen Mobai's four disciples, Liu Wenbai was the only one who had not yet formed his core. However, he was obedient and honest, cultivating diligently without relying on pills, refining his spiritual power, and building a solid foundation.

As of today, he was finally nearing the end of this stage.

"In three years, you will have no problem forming your core."

Chen Mobai felt his eldest disciple's pulse and inspected his Water and Wood spiritual power before stating this with certainty.

"With Master's words, this disciple is full of confidence."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenbai, who had been somewhat nervous, immediately relaxed.

In all these years, Chen Mobai's predictions had never been wrong.

"Starting today, you no longer need to handle affairs. Focus entirely on secluded cultivation. These are the Core Formation spiritual items I have prepared for you."

Chen Mobai smiled and handed three items to Liu Wenbai, who raised both hands and respectfully received them.

"This disciple thanks Master!"

Chen Mobai looked at his eldest disciple before him and couldn't help but recall their first meeting in Nanxi Market. He marveled at how quickly time had passed.

At that time, Liu Wenbai was still a young boy, but now he was a mature and steady middle-aged man with a beard.

"These are the Water Element Golden Core Pill and the Wood Element Golden Core Pill. Take them consecutively when you form your core. The last item is the Heavenly Sun Fire Liquid..."

Chen Mobai explained, one by one, the usage methods for the three Core Formation spirit medicines he had prepared.

Liu Wenbai was also pleasantly surprised. He had heard Chen Mobai mention the Five Element Golden Core Pills before, so they were no surprise, but the Heavenly Sun Fire Liquid was one of the two best Core Formation spirit liquids in the Eastern Continent, something he had heard about since childhood.

After listening, Liu Wenbai asked about various issues he had encountered during his cultivation over the years, and Chen Mobai answered them one by one. Finally, he reiterated all the precautions needed during core formation.

With his eldest disciple going into seclusion, Little Nan Mountain Shop needed a new manager.

Since it was only for two or three years, Chen Mobai sent a message to Luo Yixuan, who was in Dongyi.

For years, Luo Yixuan had been in Mount Panghuang in Dongyi, where the ruins of the Sea-Overturning Sect were located. Although she had gained some insights, she had never been able to enter the core area.

As soon as Chen Mobai's letter arrived, Luo Yixuan immediately returned from Dongyi.

"Master, Senior Brother, please rest assured, leave it to me."

Luo Yixuan had managed Little Nan Mountain Shop when she was in the Foundation Establishment stage. Although most of the staff had changed, Liu Wenbai helped her familiarize herself with the operations, and with her status and abilities, managing it would be effortless.

Chen Mobai also explained the refined product strategy for Little Nan Mountain Shop in the Eastern Lands. Since she had Granny Ming, a ghost cultivator, within her, she couldn't go to the Eastern Lands herself, so she would need to communicate extensively with Yue Zutao, who was in charge of that region.

After handling the matters in North Abyss City, Chen Mobai and Qing Nü set off together for Wind and Rain Dock.

As the Old Ancestor Poison Dragon was dead and the high-level demonic beasts in Cloud Dream Marsh had been cleared out, he planned to lift the seal guarding Yellow Dragon Cave Abode at Wind and Rain Dock.

Zhou Shengqing had reminded him of this matter.

After all, the entrance to Yellow Dragon Cave Abode was now located in the Cloud Dream Marsh waters of Eastern Wu. Even if the Sun family dared not object, it was quite far from the Eastern Wilderness, making resource transportation inconvenient.

If the entrance at Wind and Rain Dock were also opened, then Yellow Dragon Cave Abode could be incorporated using a teleportation array.

Chen Mobai easily lifted the seal guarding Wind and Rain Dock by deploying his Primordial Chaos True Qi.

The moment the void portal appeared, Nu Jiang, who had guarded this place for over a century, felt a sense of loss.

Nu Jiang had initially thought this was his liberation, but after truly no longer needing to stay in Cloud Dream Marsh, he felt a sense of aimlessness, having lost his purpose and motivation.

"Junior Brother, what are your plans now?"

Zhou Shengqing, discerning Nu Jiang's confusion, pulled him aside for a heart-to-heart talk.

Nu Jiang: "Perhaps I'll travel around and see things. I've only been to Nine Heavens Immortal City in the Eastern Lands before. Next, I'll visit other immortal cities."

Zhou Shengqing: "The Eastern Lands are vast, but if you're just casually sightseeing, a few years would be enough. What then, after you've traveled all over the Eastern Lands?"

Nu Jiang: "I want to see the world beyond the Eastern Continent, for example, the four seas of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Barren, especially the Heaven Sea. That's where the Water Mother Palace, the foremost power in the Sky River Realm, is located."

In the Sky River Realm, the Water Mother Palace was the dream holy land for all cultivators practicing water-attribute cultivation techniques.

Zhou Shengqing: "The Heaven Sea doesn't border our Eastern Continent. It might not be easy for you to get there."

Beyond the Eastern Continent lay the Profound Sea and the Barren Sea, two of the four seas.

The Heaven Sea and the Earth Sea were the farthest places from the Eastern Continent in the Sky River Realm.

However, if one could use the super-large teleportation array of the Grand Void Ethereal Palace, arrival would be instantaneous.

But it was clear that the Five Elements Sect did not possess such influence.

"I'll travel around outside Cloud Dream Marsh first. I originally thought I would spend my entire life here," Nu Jiang said with a smile. After a brief moment of confusion, he felt as if he had been reborn.

Deep down, he truly wanted to leave this great marsh that had bound him for over a century.

"Good, good. It's excellent that Junior Brother has come to terms with it."

Zhou Shengqing was very pleased to hear Nu Jiang's words and notice the clearer look in his eyes.

To be chosen as a disciple by Old Ancestor Primordial Chaos meant Nu Jiang's talent was extraordinary. If he hadn't been trapped in Cloud Dream Marsh and had cultivated normally, his current achievements might not have been inferior to Mo Douguang's.

Now that the cage was gone, this great river might well become an ocean in the future.

Meanwhile, Chen Mobai was also conversing with Mo Douguang.

The news of the Baby Nurturing Pill being refined brought a rare smile to Mo Douguang's face.

"That's pretty much everything..."

Chen Mobai recounted his experiences and insights from taking the Baby Nurturing Pill, and also
