Chapter 159 – Boiling Water Mansion


After using the “Yimu Divine Thunder Talisman”, Chen Mobai didn’t hesitate at all. He directly applied two Divine Travel Talismans and ran towards the location of the Water Mansion.

Of course, before leaving, he didn’t forget to retrieve the bag of spirit stones he had thrown out.

These were hard-earned.

Fleeing all the way, fearing being caught up by the group of Nanshan bandits, Chen Mobai finally managed to hide in the Water Mansion amidst his fear.

Having obtained the flag of the Bishui Formation, he felt slightly relieved with the support of this second-order Formation.

Feeling the nearly depleted spiritual power in his Dantian Qi Sea, Chen Mobai didn’t care about wasting resources and directly slapped a top-grade first-order “Revival Talisman” on himself.

In the shortest time, he restored himself to full state.

At the same time, he held his mobile phone tightly. If the enemy showed signs of breaking the Bishui Formation, he would immediately return to the Immortal Gate.

Then he waited anxiously for half a day, but found that no enemies came knocking.

This made Chen Mobai breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he still didn’t dare to let his guard down. While continuing to maximize the power of the Bishui Formation, he began to prepare to break the remaining two Water Thunder prohibitions of the side halls.

If the Nanshan bandits really came knocking, he planned to take the things inside the side halls and teleport away directly.

The method of breaking the prohibition recorded by Liu Yanpei, Chen Mobai had practiced it extremely proficiently during his half-year at Danzhu Academy.

However, since he had never practiced it in real combat, he failed the first time he tried to break the prohibition.

But this was mainly because Chen Mobai was restless and hesitant.

Before the second attempt to break the prohibition, he sat quietly for a quarter of an hour using the Mind Nurturing God Casting Technique. After feeling that his mind and spiritual power had calmed down, he calmly performed the method to break the prohibition.

With a “click”, a crisp sound rang in his ears.

Chen Mobai saw the arc of thunder and lightning that originally enveloped the gate of the side hall dim until it completely disappeared.

The disappearance of the prohibition seemed to trigger the mechanism of the door. Under his expectant gaze, the door slowly opened.

A warm current rushed towards his face.

Finally, he saw the situation inside.

It was a plantation arranged according to a specific situation.

A trench was dug around the perimeter, filled with clear and bright purified water. He didn’t know where the source was.

Surrounded by the trench was a pile of soil about five or six square meters.

This soil was different from the usual, it was actually red. Chen Mobai stood outside the door, feeling the warm current coming from this red soil.

In the red soil, four bamboo plants were growing.

The bamboo was as straight as jade, with leaves like swords, faintly revealing golden and silver lights.

Chen Mobai took a look, one gold and three silver, these should be the Gold-edged Jade Bamboo and Silver-edged Jade Bamboo recorded in Liu Yanpei’s notes.

It was fortunate that this side hall had formed an environment suitable for the growth of these Jade Bamboos. Otherwise, they might have all withered over the decades.

Chen Mobai used a coin to probe, and after confirming that there were no other prohibitions inside, he walked in. While carefully examining the four Jade Bamboos, he also reached out and touched the only Gold-edged Jade Bamboo.

He saw that this bamboo seemed to have absorbed most of the spiritual energy over the years and grew the best. There was even a bud of a bamboo flower at the top.

When his hand touched the bamboo, Chen Mobai felt a rich and pure spiritual energy swirling in each bamboo joint.

He squatted down and stirred the red soil around the Jade Bamboo. Sure enough, he found six or seven bamboo shoots.

This was Liu Yanpei’s main task in cultivating Jade Bamboo in this Water Mansion. These Jade Bamboo shoots and the Bi-blood Carp were the favorite spiritual food ingredients of a Golden Elixir ancestor of the Five Elements Sect.

However, the Bi-blood Carp had already been eaten by Chen Mobai. He wondered if these Jade Bamboo shoots also had the effect of enhancing the spiritual root?

Chen Mobai didn’t dare to delay. Using the method recorded in Liu Yanpei’s notes, he dug out all the emerged Jade Bamboo shoots, then sealed the holes with red soil and water, and put them in a preservation bag he had prepared earlier.

After taking the bamboo shoots, Chen Mobai also picked all the Silver-edged and Gold-edged bamboo leaves, stacked them leaf by leaf, and put them in two other boxes.

As early as when he knew that Liu Yanpei might be cultivating Jade Bamboo in the side halls of the Water Mansion, he had been looking for the uses of this spiritual plant.

There was a shop in Nanxi Market opened by Green Bamboo Ridge, which specialized in selling Jade Bamboo related products.

Chen Mobai casually inquired and got the information he wanted.

Jade Bamboo shoots are a delicacy in the mortal world.

Bamboo leaves can be used as talisman paper. Silver-edged bamboo leaves are first-order talisman paper, and Gold-edged bamboo leaves are second-order talisman paper, which can be used to refine Red Flame Sword Talismans.

And the bamboo flower is also a spiritual medicine. However, if you wait for the bamboo flower to bear fruit and turn into bamboo seeds, even if you don’t refine them and take them directly, they can clear your vision, refresh your mind, and increase your spiritual sense.

The remaining bamboo poles, bamboo hearts, and bamboo roots also have their uses, but to get these, you need to cut them down.

The education he received from a young age in the Immortal Gate made Chen Mobai know that he couldn’t just cut down flowers and plants. Who knows, it might be a protected spiritual plant?

Although this was the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai felt that cutting down these Jade Bamboos was a bit wasteful. At most, they could be sold as raw materials.

It would be better to keep them for seeding. Every year, he could harvest Jade Bamboo shoots, bamboo leaves, bamboo flowers, and bamboo seeds.

Of course, if the Water Mansion was about to be breached, Chen Mobai would definitely be ruthless.

But for now, sustainable development was the main focus.

He put the Silver-edged and Gold-edged bamboo leaves in two separate boxes, then put them in his backpack along with the preservation bag of Jade Bamboo shoots, and went out to open another side hall.

But this side hall was empty, with only a meditation cushion in the center.

It looked like it should be Liu Yanpei’s cultivation room.

After walking in and taking a round, confirming that there were no hidden compartments, Chen Mobai left a bit disappointed.

He returned to the Earth Yuan Star, bringing back the Jade Bamboo shoots and bamboo leaves.

Then he couldn’t wait to show off his cooking skills. He cut a Jade Bamboo shoot in half, sliced it, and stir-fried it in a hot oil pan with the cured meat brought from Qing Shan Village.

A bowl of stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat made Chen Mobai finish a pot of Spirit Rice he cooked.

Fragrant, tender, crispy, and delicious…

He had never eaten such delicious food before.After finishing his meal and feeling full, Chen Mobai didn’t forget to take out his spiritual root tester.

【Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 28, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10】

As expected, his wood spiritual root had increased by 1 point.

He wasn’t sure if it would decrease later like the Azure Blood Carp, or if there was a limit to the increase.

Even though he was already full, Chen Mobai, for the sake of comparison, still sliced and ate the remaining half of the jade bamboo shoot raw.

He wanted to see if stir-frying it would affect the effect of the jade bamboo shoot.

After finishing, he took out the spiritual root tester again.

Wood 29.

There was no effect.

Chen Mobai waited another night, and tested again the next morning, indeed finding that it had dropped.

It had become Wood 28.

He was slightly disappointed, but a thought immediately flashed through his mind.

Since his cultivation of the Pure Yang Body Method would damage his liver and gallbladder, if this jade bamboo shoot could supplement it in advance.

Could there be a possibility……
