Chapter 934 - 934 514 Secret Technique_2

Chapter 934: Chapter 514 Secret Technique_2 Chapter 934: Chapter 514 Secret Technique_2 The thought brought Hong He to admire someone else for the first time in his life.

The conditions under which Elder Chen had undergone Core Formation could be described as being under the watchful eyes of wolves—he had to leave the Sect to avoid notice, yet faced the immense pressure of not failing. If it were any other cultivator, just the weight of that pressure alone might have created a Heart Demon, likely resulting in the dispersal of their Spiritual Power and death before they could even trigger the Heavenly Tribulation.

But Elder Chen succeeded!

Hong He, who always liked to put pressure on himself, felt inferior to someone for the first time.

You see, Hong He originally looked down on Chen Mobai to some extent because he thought that since the latter had mastered the Sword Sha and had become an unrivaled Foundation Establishment expert, he should not be cultivating every day within the Sect, almost a disservice to his exceptional swordsmanship talent.

Now, however, Hong He understood.

He was too shallow.

Fighting demonic beasts, adventuring in Yun Meng Ze, even battling life and death against Rogue Cultivators, Loose Cultivators, and Devil Cultivators—all these were nothing but superficial pressures of physical life and death.

Only those who dare undertake the survival and protection of the Sect’s legacy are truly courageous.

The more Hong He analyzed Elder Chen, the shallower he felt himself to be.

He suddenly felt that he could no longer hide in Yun Meng Ze but should instead learn from Elder Chen and shoulder the future of the Sect during his Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, Hong He immediately applied to the Sect to end his duty in Yun Meng Ze and, after taking the Teleportation Array through several Fang Markets, returned to Giant Tree Ridge.

Little did he know that upon his return, he would receive an immense surprise.

Elder Chen actually wanted to see him, and not just him, but also Yin Qingmei.

As both were disciples who’d been initiated by Fu Zongjue, and their Cave Dwellings were on adjacent mountains, the summons naturally led them to report first to Fu Zongjue.

Fu Zongjue, who was busy comprehending the Puppetry Technique of Liu Jia Mountain, used the Heavenly Communication Device to contact Chen Mobai after hearing from his two disciples and learned that it was to impart Core Formation Insights, which made him slightly doubtful.

“Junior brother, they have not yet reached Foundation Establishment Completion, isn’t it too early?”

“Core Formation, like Foundation Establishment, involves the transformation of Essence, Qi, and Spirit. If we wait until Foundation Establishment Completion to rush it, it will already be too late. If our Sect can have more Golden Core Cultivators, we will grow stronger, and external enemies would not dare invade. I will first share my summarized insights with them, even if it just increases their chances by ten percent. Over a hundred years and several generations of disciples, who knows, we might gain another junior brother or sister.”

“Junior brother has a far-reaching vision and broad mindset, I am not his equal. I will trouble you to take care of my two disciples.”

After hearing this, Fu Zongjue also felt that in comparison, Chen Mobai had a much broader vision, while his own thinking remained trapped in the ancient notion that high-rank inheritances should not be easily imparted, and if they were to be taught, it would only be on a one-on-one basis.

Imparting the Core Formation Insights to Chu Zuoshu had been decided a long time ago, but to give them to Hong He and Yin Qingmei, by reason, would require informing Zhou Shengqing.

But Zhou Shengqing was currently averse to any disturbances, so it was appropriate for Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue to just agree between themselves.

Hong He and Yin Qingmei were Fu Zongjue’s disciples, and he had no reason to disagree.

After ending the Heavenly Communication Device call, Fu Zongjue informed them about Elder Chen’s summons.

Upon hearing the words “Core Formation Insights,” both Hong He and Yin Qingmei’s breaths became rapid, their faces flushed, and their eyes filled with excitement.

The next day.

Hong He, who normally didn’t pay much attention to his appearance, took the rare initiative to tidy up his attire, shaving off the beard he had grown over the years, and donning what he believed to be his most appropriate clothes.

He thought he had taken quite a bit of time, only to find out that Yin Qingmei had taken even longer.

God knows what she was doing; she only just barely appeared at the time of the summons.

“Elder Chen is a devoted cultivator of the Sword, focused on bitter cultivation—what use is your rouge and powder to him?”

Hong He himself was a bitter cultivator, and seeing Yin Qingmei, who had put on delicate makeup, he couldn’t help but snort coldly, and headed towards the Longevity Wood Dojo where Chen Mobai was located.

“This is the most basic etiquette and also a sign of respect for Elder Chen. Didn’t you also shave your beard?”

Although Yin Qingmei and Hong He were nominally siblings, their relationship was average at best, as the latter had always been outside the Sect after his Foundation Establishment, returning only once every few years.

As for Yin Qingmei, with her Heavenly Spiritual Root, she was the treasure of the Sect, and she hadn’t been allowed to leave even a step during the two major battles.

If it were not for having Fu Zongjue as their master, the two probably wouldn’t even have anything to discuss.

“It’s too late. When the Elder summons you, you should arrive at least an hour earlier!”

By the time they reached the Longevity Wood Dojo, Chu Zuoshu was already waiting there, scolding the two as soon as he, as the Sect Leader, saw them.

Hong He frowned slightly and glared at Yin Qingmei beside him, who lowered her head and took the scolding obediently.

“Sect Leader, it seems that it’s the time for Elder Chen to summon us.”

As he was scolding, and not showing any signs of stopping, Hong He immediately reminded him.

Within the entire Divine Wood Sect, he only held the Nascent Soul Ancestors in awe, but he felt that with his own talents, he was bound to surpass any other Foundation Establishment Practitioner, including the Sect Leader.

Therefore, seeing that there was a possibility of delaying his chance to learn Core Formation Insights, Hong He spoke up to interrupt.

“Elder Chen’s disciples have arrived, we will put our matters aside for now.”

Chu Zuoshu was actually just looking for an excuse to pass the time, and once Hong He mentioned it, he no longer scolded Yin Qingmei.

“Elder Chen’s disciples? Is it Liu Shidi, or the two Shimeis, Zhuo and Luo?”

Although Hong He was arrogant, he knew about the three people from the Xiao Nanshan Lineage, who all reached Foundation Establishment, since they were the disciples of his former rivals.

“It’s Liu and Zhuo. Luo Shimei had an incident a few years ago and has gone missing, didn’t you know?”

“Eh?”

Hong He truly didn’t know, as previously, he only cared about Chen Mobai, and after Luo Yixuan’s disappearance, Chen Mobai chose to handle it quietly to avoid attracting unwanted attention.

After hearing what Chu Zuoshu said, Hong He frowned slightly.

He kept this matter in mind, thinking that if he had the chance in the future, he would activate his network to see if he could find this Luo Shimei.

At that moment, a yellow Escaping Light descended, revealing a woman dressed like a village wife, with a gentle demeanour.

“Zhuo Shimei, does Elder Chen have time now?”

Upon seeing Zhuo Ming, Chu Zuoshu couldn’t help but ask politely.

“Yes, it’s exactly what my master sent me to do, to take you up.”

Zhuo Ming, these recent years, had been Farming at Xiao Nanshan, always with a hoe and a fruit basket at her side, and without Luo Yixuan, who didn’t care much for her own looks, to dress her up, Zhuo Ming indeed looked more and more like a village wife.

While she spoke, a yellow spiritual light surged out, enveloping Chu Zuoshu and the others, and took them towards the largest branch of the Longevity Wood.

Soon, the four of them had arrived at the wooden house door atop the branch.

The door was wide open, revealing a young man inside wearing a red-black long robe, with a handsome face.

And in front of him was a person who greatly surprised them, a member of the sect’s Foundation Establishment, a delicate young girl.

“Gu Yan Shimei, I didn’t expect to see you here.”

As Sect Leader, Chu Zuoshu was familiar with every Foundation Establishment Practitioner within the sect and knew that she was recently Foundation Established.

She was extremely lucky in obtaining a pouch of Longevity Tree Sap in the Divine Tree Secret Realm and had traded it with Elder Chen for a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

What brought her here today?

Could it be that after Elder Chen’s Core Formation, she felt those hundred thousand Spirit Stones were too hot to handle?

“Shi Niece Gu Yan managed to obtain a secret technique in the Divine Tree Secret Realm that is very useful to me, and today Ming’er specially brought her here to talk about this matter,” Chen Mobai said with a gentle smile, and at this time Gu Yan also stood up to take her leave.

“Ming’er, you can take Shi Niece Gu Yan down.”

Chen Mobai continued with a gentle smile, and Gu Yan stood up to take her leave again.

“Ming’er, you can take Shi Niece Gu Yan down.”
