It wasn’t until almost noon, when Yuan Chiye was becoming impatient, that Zhuo Ming and the other five finally made their reluctant choices and came down from the bookshelf.
All they could do was watch; they could not take books themselves but had to rely on Elder Brother Hu.
“Huh, you also want the Dual Element Technique?”
Surprisingly, Liu Wenbo had made the same choice as Chen Mobai, which greatly surprised Elder Brother Hu.
“Oh, I didn’t expect that Elder Brother Chen and I would make the same choice.”
Given that Liu Wenbo comes from a familial line of immortal cultivators, his choice of Dual Element Technique was certainly a decision made carefully with the help of his family.
“Fill this first.”
Elder Brother Hu advised once more, making Liu Wenbo hesitant.
However, knowing that Chen Mobai had already made his choice seemed to help him make up his mind. He gritted his teeth, wrote his volunteer letter, and took a copy of Dual Element Technique.
“Elder Brother Chen, what is the Dual Element Technique?”
On the way back, Zhuo Ming, who had chosen the Complete Immortal Longevity Scripture for Qi Cultivation, was very curious. Although she was informed about the small affairs, she was still unaware of such things as the Dual Element Technique as a loose cultivator.
Chen Mobai did not hide anything, after all, they were members of the Divine Wood Sect now.
“If there’s such a miraculous cultivation technique, then I’m at a big loss.”
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming opened her mouth wide, her face full of regret.
“Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise.”
On the other side, Liu Wenbo joined the conversation with these words.
As Zhuo Ming looked puzzled, he explained the difficulties of practicing Dual Element Technique. Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming instantly understood.
Being a loose cultivator herself, she definitely didn’t have to worry about the Dual Element Technique until she became a true disciple.
“By the way, Junior Sister Zhuo, are you planning to switch to the ‘Immortal Longevity Scripture’?”
Chen Mobai pointed to the book Zhuo Ming was holding. The Dual Element Technique required the practice of two cultivation techniques that supplemented each other from the Five Elements.
In the Divine Wood Sect, there are usually two ways to practice: Water-Wood or Wood-Fire!
Among these, the path chosen by Yuan Chiye was Water-Wood. If he successfully reached the Core Formation stage, the spiritual power gained from the Immortal Longevity Scripture would absorb the essence of that water cultivation technique.
The other path was Wood-Fire.
This was the path chosen by Chen Mobai.
For his Fire attribute, he would certainly choose Pure Yang Scroll; for the Wood attribute, in order to hide in the Divine Wood Sect, he could only choose the Immortal Longevity Scripture.
In Divine Wood Sect, regardless of which path is taken, the basic Wood attribute cultivation technique is the Immortal Longevity Scripture.
Aside from this technique being a standard of the Divine Wood Sect, it also increased the lifespan of the cultivator, giving them more time to reach the threshold of the Core Formation phase.
Thus, after acquiring the Dual Element Technique, Chen Mobai naturally had to find a way to get the Immortal Longevity Scripture.
He had asked Elder Brother Hu at the Book Pavilion. Since it was the most common Qi Cultivation technique in the Divine Wood Sect, every disciple could exchange for it.
The price was not too expensive for Chen Mobai, 50 Spirit Stones.
If he had not been hard-pressed for cash, having only 30 Spirit Stones left after practicing the One Yang Technique, Chen Mobai would definitely want to buy a copy.
“Elder Brother Chen, this is a benefit given for free by the sect to new disciples, and a Dao Heart Oath was taken when receiving it. It cannot be sold.”
Upon understanding Chen Mobai’s meaning, Zhuo Ming vehemently shook her head.
Although she was only a loose cultivator, she knew the importance of the Dao Heart Oath. If broken, it would plant the seed of a Heart Demon.
“That’s a pity.”
Chen Mobai was just asking, but soon he seemed to remember something and turned to look at Liu Wenbo.
The latter was a bit puzzled and didn’t know why he was being stared at.
“Junior Brother Liu, since you’ve chosen the Two-Phase Technique, your family must have already prepared the two Qi cultivation techniques for you.” “Correct, Senior Brother Chen, you mean….”
Both were smart individuals, Chen Mobai didn’t need to further express himself for Liu Wenbo to understand his motives.
No matter which path Liu Wenbo’s Two-Phase Technique took, The Elixir of Immortality was essential.
And since Liu Wanbo’s Elixir of Immortality was prepared by his family, there was naturally no restriction due to the Heart Oath.
“If Senior Brother Chen needs it, I can copy it for you upon return.”
Liu Wenbo had a tactful way of handling matters. A mere Qi Cultivation technique, in his eyes, could serve as a gesture of goodwill to establish a relationship with Chen Mobai, a potential true disciple.
“Then I will not hold back, Junior Brother Liu, feel free to command me in the future.”
Chen Mobai initially wanted to borrow The Elixir of Immortality on credit, to no avail. He hadn’t expected Liu Wenbo to be so generous.
For a moment, Chen Mobai felt guilty for his suspicion towards the cultivators from Tianhe Realm, supposing only some loose cultivators have malicious intentions, whereas the majority were decent like the Immortal Sect.
After returning to Bud Hall, Chen Mobai and the others immediately proposed a closed-door training session to Yuan Chiye.
He did not refuse them, only reminding them that they still had to fulfill their monthly quota of firewood. Aside from that, there was no restriction on their cultivation, attending his lectures on the sect rules was optional.
The Red Sun Wood was the most abundant species in the Giant Tree Ridge. The controlled gentle heat produced by its combustion made it a highly popular material among Rank-1 Alchemists and Artifact Refiners.
However, the sect contribution points for chopping wood were too little, very few disciples from the Divine Wood Sect took up this task, hence it fell upon the newcomers.
One could only earn one sect contribution point by chopping a hundred standard size logs.
New disciples were expected to deliver three hundred logs every day.
Chen Mobai, who was in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, worked diligently from dawn to dusk using the iron axe provided by the sect but could only manage to chop approximately five hundred logs.
For those in the middle stage, they had to give it their all just to meet the task requirements.
Luckily, most of them were loose cultivators who had joined them, and a few from small sects were at least at the fourth stage of Qi Cultivation.
The task of chopping wood was generally completed adequately.
Chen Mobai was confident he could make up for the Red Sun Wood deficit later, but Zhuo Ming and the others couldn’t afford to close the door for even a day without having to go out and chop wood.
“Is this kid not afraid of being punished by me for not meeting the monthly quota?”
Watching Chen Mobai’s seven-day lock-up record, Yuan Chiye mumbled to himself.
Little did he know.
The wooden house was already empty.
Chen Mobai, with his possessions and copy of the Elixir of Immortality, had taken a seat by the window of the train, heading towards the Crimson City Cave.
“Excuse me, that’s my seat.”
While Chen Mobai was engrossed in his book, a pleasant voice rang by his ear. He turned his head to find a beautifully youthful and seductive young woman. She had a light touch of makeup, her eyebrows were sharp like a crescent moon, and her face was fair. She looked about seventeen or eighteen, with a slight smile on her lips, her cherry lips gently pursed as though lip-glossed, emitting an alluring charm.
“Pardon me.”
Chen Mobai had crowded her half-space with his bag. Realizing this, he immediately apologized and moved the bag to his feet.
“No problem.”
The young lady let out a slight smile then stepped in.
She wore a simple white half-sleeve blouse showing her full and rounded curves, and a slender waist. Below, she wore a black pleated skirt with fine long legs in white knee-length stockings, paired with black round-toed shoes. Her pure appearance carried a hint of charm.
She pushed her half-body tall pink suitcase under the seat, after sitting next to Chen Mobai, she took off the big backpack she was carrying and placed it between her bare beautiful legs, on top of the skirt and stockings..
