After all, he was his immediate superior, Chen Mobai didn’t dare to slack off and immediately went to meet Sun Gaochang with Lu Jun.
The latter’s round face was even more cheerful today. After chatting with Chen Mobai for a while, he praised him for winning the first place in the True Inheritance on behalf of the Spirit Plant Department.
“When you return the Divine Wood Sword, you will receive an extra three hundred spirit stones as a benefit this year. I’ve already arranged it with the logistics department.”
Before leaving, Sun Gaochang asked Chen Mobai if he had enough sect contributions to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill. If not, he could lend him ten thousand.
Chen Mobai was indeed short of a lot, so he immediately thanked him, thinking that after his uncle’s Foundation Establishment Pill was refined, if he still didn’t have enough contributions, he would borrow some from him.
However, Chen Mobai felt that Sun Gaochang was a bit too enthusiastic.
He was more accustomed to the previous indifferent attitude.
After all, he had to travel between the two realms frequently, so it was better not to attract attention.
But this was probably the trouble of becoming the first in True Inheritance.
Alas, there was no choice, it was all for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
There were quite a few people in the logistics department, all of whom looked at Chen Mobai with admiration.
When returning the Divine Wood Sword, Chen Mobai ran into another True Inheritance of the Spirit Plant Department, Li Li.
“Chen… Brother.”
Li Li awkwardly called out to this colleague from the same department whom he had never paid attention to before.
“Brother Li is too polite.”
Chen Mobai didn’t put on airs. After greeting him, he returned his Divine Wood Sword to the junior sister in logistics, who then took out three medium-grade spirit stones and handed them to him.
“Brother Chen, this is your department benefit for becoming a True Inheritance.”
“Why do I only have one?”
Li Li, who was standing by, couldn’t help but blurt out when he saw this.
“This is Inspector Sun’s intention. If Brother Li Li has any objections, you can go to him.”
The junior sister in charge of logistics heard this, but she didn’t give Li Li any face and responded directly.
“Brother Chen became the first in True Inheritance, enhancing the prestige of our Spirit Plant Department. What’s wrong with him getting two more than you, who are at the bottom of the True Inheritance?”
The one who said this was Liu Guilong, the former True Inheritance of the Spirit Plant Department, who happened to be here on business.
Li Li’s face turned red with anger, but he didn’t dare to say anything in front of Chen Mobai.
Without a second-order flying sword, he might not even be a match for Liu Guilong, let alone this unparalleled sword genius.
He could only leave in a huff.
“Brother Chen, the department head said you can visit him when you have time.”
After driving away Li Li, Liu Guilong relayed the message to Chen Mobai, who could only smile bitterly and went to the department head’s office.
After visiting the department head, it would be impolite not to visit the deputy department head, so he had to go and greet him.
Unexpectedly, Li Li was also there.
Chen Mobai said a few words, found an excuse, and left immediately.
After leaving the Spirit Plant Department, Chen Mobai returned to his inn, only to find Zhuo Ming with a worried face, having received a large pile of invitations. In addition to those from the True Inheritance, there were also many from Qi Refining disciples.
Fortunately, there were none from Foundation Establishment elders, otherwise, he would have to socialize again.
As soon as he returned, many disciples of the Divine Wood Sect who were waiting at the inn looked at him with eager eyes. Many of them even knelt down directly to worship him as their master, hoping to learn his unparalleled swordsmanship.
Chen Mobai thought of the scene in Danxia City where he had just been admitted to the Weapon Dance Academy.
There was no choice but to sigh, tell Zhuo Ming to meet him at Xiaoyang Ridge, and then turn around and leave.
In Xiaoyang Ridge, it was finally a bit quieter.
Chen Mobai taught Zhuo Ming about farming and making talismans while keeping an eye on the situation in the Alchemy Department.
However, it was only quiet for a month before many powerful disciples of the Divine Wood Sect found this place.
They didn’t dare to rush up, but waiting at the foot of the mountain every day and keeping an eye on him still made Chen Mobai very annoyed.
It made him dare not travel between the two realms at night.
Fortunately, at this time, a message talisman was delivered.
It was a message from E Yun.
The batch of beast Foundation Establishment Pills had been refined.
The luck was good, and two pills were formed.
Hearing this news, Chen Mobai was instantly invigorated.
After so many years in the Divine Wood Sect, he was finally about to achieve this goal.
He immediately handed over all the matters of Xiaoyang Ridge to Zhuo Ming, and then rushed to the Divine Wood City.
With the help of E Yun, without any accidents, Chen Mobai exchanged for his own Foundation Establishment Pill in the Lingbao Pavilion.
“Please keep it safe.”
Chen Mobai received a white porcelain bottle. When he opened it, he saw a blood-red pill inside.
Just by smelling it, he felt his blood and energy, which had been locked by the boundary law, start to churn, showing signs of breaking through.
It was indeed a Foundation Establishment Pill!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Mobai put the things into his storage bag, followed E Yun out of the Lingbao Pavilion, and came to his courtyard.
“This is the experience of the elders of the past generations that I sorted out from the Book Collection Pavilion when I was establishing my foundation. However, it only pertains to the Longevity Sutra. You can take a look.”
E Yun pushed a stack of prepared books to Chen Mobai, about a dozen in total.
“Thank you, who exchanged for the other Foundation Establishment Pill?”
After putting the Foundation Establishment Experience Collection into his storage bag, Chen Mobai asked a question.
“The Sect Master wanted to give it to Brother Mu Yuan, but Brother Zhou stopped him and gave it to the second in True Inheritance, Feng Hongxue.”
E Yun didn’t hide anything and directly told Chen Mobai.
“Feng Hongxue, to avoid any complications, went into seclusion as soon as he got the Foundation Establishment Pill.”
“He is indeed a decisive character.”
Chen Mobai nodded in approval after hearing this.
“Although no one is coveting your Foundation Establishment Pill, it’s best to be careful.”
E Yun reminded him, and Chen Mobai immediately said that he would rent a cultivation room from the Transmission Department right away and would not give anyone a chance.
“The Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely precious, it’s best to take it when your spirit, energy, and soul are in the best state.”
“Also, if you have any regrets in your heart, it’s best to settle them before establishing your foundation. This way, the success rate of foundation establishment will be higher.”
“If I successfully complete the Foundation Establishment within the Shenmu Sect, I can go to the treasure land of the Three Divine Trees, where there’s a chance to obtain a great opportunity. Junior Brother, you mustn’t rush and miss this chance.”
E Yun shook his head, sharing some of his own experiences. Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai’s mind spun, and he immediately came up with a good idea.
“I obtained the Black Water Skill in the Bibo Water Mansion and embarked on the path of cultivation. However, the knot in my heart has always been the separation from my family when I was young. It’s just right to resolve this knot before the Foundation Establishment.”
This was obviously an excuse.
What Chen Mobai was thinking was to leave the Shenmu Sect and immediately find a secluded place to return to the Earth Origin Star.
Even if he was unlucky and the Foundation Establishment Pill didn’t work, he could still utilize the resources of the Immortal Gate. After successfully establishing his foundation, he would return to the Shenmu Sect.
Upon his return, he would claim that he had an epiphany while searching for his family outside, and directly succeeded in taking the Foundation Establishment Pill.
As long as he successfully established his foundation, he would be considered a genius who succeeded in the Foundation Establishment within the Shenmu Sect.
After all, it’s inconvenient to find people in the Tianhe Realm. It would be reasonable for him to delay outside for a few years.
