Chapter 163: Yu Lian, Luo family’s brother and sister_l
Translator: 549690339
The first to come forward was the genius of the Liu family, Liu Wenbo.
In the absence of Chen Mobai, as a child of a prestigious family and possessing the excellent talent of having three spiritual roots, he has garnered the support of the majority of the loose cultivators, effectively becoming their leader.
“junior Brother Liu, are all these people loose cultivators recruited from other places in Yun Country by our sect?”
Chen Mobai joined the Divine Wood Sect for cultivation and Foundation Building Pills; he had no interest in power struggles.
“Yes, there are four Cultivator Fang Markets in Yun Country. Ours here in South Creek is the closest to the Divine Wood Sect, so it has become the assembly point for this departure.”
Although Liu Wenbo has already rallied most of the loose cultivators in South Creek Fang Market, he still held the same respectful attitude towards Chen
Mobai as before.
“Okay.”
Chen Mobai nodded, then chose a less crowded place to sit down.
Liu Wenbo was a bit confused by his actions.
Wasn’t this man supposed to be power-hungry?
However, since Chen Mobai was not stepping up, he could only grit his teeth and return to his original position.
Above the streets of South Creek Fang Market, cultivators who stood out among the four major Cultivator Fang Markets in Yun Country and joined the Divine Wood Sect, distinctly stood in four clusters.
Among them, a cold-faced youth in black clothes led the group on the east side.
The group on the west side was crowded around a male and a female cultivator, both in the later stages of Qi Cultivation.
The group on the north side was a disorganized bunch, haphazardly arranged.
And naturally, the group on the south side represented South Creek Fang Market. Many people who were standing behind Liu Wenbo looked hesitant when they saw Chen Mobai approaching, some even ran over to him directly.
“Why are you coming over here?”
Chen Mobai was surprised to see the person who came over.
It was Zhuo Ming.
“Among us, you are the one who most resembles a True Disciple. Pm siding with you now, so if you successfully establish your foundation in the future, it’ll be a major accomplishment for me too.”
Zhuo Ming lifted her pretty face and spoke her true feelings without hesitation.
“Oh, you just believe in me like that.”
Chen Mobai saw that Liu Wenbo wanted him to step up to face disciples from the other three directions. He had decided to be cautious in the Tianhe Realm, especially after surviving series of attacks from loose cultivator swordsmen and South Mountain Thieves. Now, Chen Mobai wanted nothing but to enhance his Cultivation Level and establish his foundation.
He was not interested in such troublesome matter that would obviously drain much of his energy.
“Of course, you have the best talent among us, at such a young age you’ve already reached the seventh level of qi cultivation. If I don’t have faith in you, who else should I have faith in?”
Zhuo Ming glanced at Liu Wenbo while speaking.
Chen Mobai just smiled and didn’t mind her words.
At that moment, another five or six loose cultivators came over and greeted
him.
“Senior Brother Chen.”
Chen Mobai didn’t shun them, but calmly nodded.
In a short while, nearly half of the loose cultivators who were initially beside
Liu Wenbo had come over to his side.
Even if Chen Mobai wanted to keep a low profile, his extraordinary talent revealed when testing his spiritual root, along with the attitude of being personally brought here by a True Disciple of Divine Wood Sect, made many loose cultivators who resented the cultivation families automatically pledged themselves to him.
It seemed that Liu Wenbo had already anticipated this, his face did not change as he calmly stood at the front of the team.
He has good composure in dealing with things.
Chen Mobai silently thought.
“Are there any people I should pay special attention to?”
A sentence reached Zhuo Ming’s ear, and she immediately pointed to a stern-looking young man in black attire and a boy and girl standing at the front of two other groups.
“His name is Yu Lian, a dual spiritual root prodigy. He’s already accomplished the eighth level of Qi Cultivation and is favored by Senior Brother Yuan. 1 heard that Uncle Shan also intends to take him under his wing and pass down his mantle.”
Chen Mobai glanced at the stern-faced youth, realizing that this person was probably Divine Wood Sect’s greatest gain during this Ferrying Spirit Mission in Yun Country.
“Is he a loose cultivator or from a distinguished family?
“He hails from a small sect. His master passed away three years ago, making him the sect leader. However, for his Foundation Establishment, he boldly decided to join the Divine Wood Sect.”
Hearing this, Chen Mobai squinted slightly, took a closer look at this Yu Lian, then motioned towards the poised-looking boy and girl.
“They are the prodigies of the Luo family. The boy is Luo Yixiu, and the girl is LUO Yixuan. Both are tri-spiritual root. The former has reached the eighth level of Qi cultivation and the latter, the seventh level. They’ve always been raised at Tianfeng Mountain, the Luo family headquarters. It’s unclear why they were allowed to leave and join the Divine Wood Sect this time.
Zhuo Ming might seem disinterested, but she had already thoroughly researched the talented geniuses among the four Fang Markets in Yun Country over the past few days.
“Are there not many people coming from the north?1
Chen Mobai then pointed towards the disorderly group of people. Zhuo Ming shook her head and explained why.
“That area borders the Snow Country. Two years ago, when the Snow-blowing Palace publicized its spirit-testing event, many loose cultivators responded and participated; those with outstanding spiritual roots were scouted in advance.”
“Oh, does the Divine Wood Sect not interfere with this kind of situation?”
“I wouldn’t know.”
Zhuo Ming shook her head; details of a contest among the higher-ups were beyond the reach of a small loose cultivator like her.
After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded his head slightly.
He noticed Yu Lian and the Luo siblings were also observing him. He naturally responded with a smile.
The three of them all reacted indifferently.
Under the watchful eyes of the Divine Wood Sect’s true disciples, no one dared to cause trouble.
Time quickly moved onto the next morning.
A giant floating airship appeared over Southstream Market, accompanied by a thunderous noise.
“Everyone on board, maintain order.
Yuan Chiye’s voice resounded, and the floating airship slowly descended.
Chen Mobai saw a middle-aged man with a beard standing at the highest point of the ship’s bow, with Yuan Chiye and Ding Ying by his left and right, showing respectful attitudes.
Obviously, this was the Foundation Establishment elder of Divine Wood Sect stationed in Yun Country, Shan Hongyi.
Yu Lian didn’t hesitate at all; he leaped onto the ship first and then paid his respects to the three from the Divine Wood Sect.
With him leading, the Luo siblings followed suit.
Liu Wen Bo was eager, but hesitated at the last moment. After some thought, he walked up to Chen Mobai.
“Brother Chen, after you.”
Chen Mobai was surprised; he didn’t expect to command such respect in Wen Bo’s eyes.
He initially planned to pass on the position of spokesman for the Divine Wood Sect’s new disciples from Southstream Market. But he didn’t foresee Wen Bo stepping back in this situation.
Given the circumstances, Chen Mobai had no reason to reject the offer.
He was the fourth to board the floating airship.
Then it was Liu Wen Bo’s turn.
After the five of them boarded, the remaining loose cultivators hesitated no more and chose their spots on the ship deck to jump onto.
“Is this the one you mentioned?”
Shan Hongyi asked Yuan Chiye beside him. The latter wondered about Chen Mobai, aware that another true disciple had personally undertaken a task due to his absence yesterday; this level of attention piqued the interest of Elder Shan.
“Yes, Brother E thinks he’s worth cultivating..”
