Chapter 195: Chapter 195 Spirit Treasure Pavilion 1

However, having obtained a Rank-2, top-grade Spirit Vein ward for cultivation was an unexpected gain.
“Brother Chen rarely visits Divine Wood City, let brother Teng show you around. I need to handle the transfer procedures for Small Yang Ridge as well as the nearby medicinal and spiritual fields,” said Lu Jun before promptly leaving.
With Teng Jie’s enthusiastic invitation and Chen Mobai’s desire to visit the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, they exited the Spirit Plant Bureau Hall together. The Divine Wood Sect comprises three Halls and twelve Departments.
The most prominent amongst these Halls is the Divine Wood Hall where the Sect Leader resides, followed by Penalty Evil Hall which is responsible for law enforcement, punishment, and warfare, and Reward Virtue Hall, which manages resource distribution within the Sect.
The Spirit Treasure Pavilion serves as the mission hall for the Divine Wood Sect.
While the assignment of jobs is officially the responsibility of the Divine Wood Hall, the rewards for these tasks, such as Spirit Stone contributions, are audited and granted by the Reward Virtue Hall.
Under the guidance of Teng Jie, Chen Mobai set foot in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion for the first time.
He held up his identity nameplate in front of a large jade plate where a ray of light landed and instantly verified him, bringing up Chen Mobai’s account information.
He saw that he had 458 contribution points in the sect and a balance of 77 Spirit Stones.
The Divine Wood Sect provides Spirit Stone welfare to its disciples every month, varying amounts depending on the cultivation realm.
As Chen Mobai was at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, he would be granted 7 lower-grade Spirit Stones per month.
Unbeknownst to him, he had almost spent a year in the Divine Wood Sect. Previously, since he was preoccupied with farming and had enough Spirit Stones in his storage bag, he never visited the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to collect his share.
Brother Chen, the Spirit Plant Department grants 100 Spirit Stones annually which is distributed by our department. It’s the end of the year, you’re quite lucky,” said Teng Jie.
The Spirit Plant Department’s welfare is a yearly benefit. Chen Mobai had just joined but the timing was just right.
This was indeed good news.
Chen Mobai withdrew the 77 Spirit Stones from his account and browsed through the variety of elixirs, Array Disks of Magical Instruments, and such, that he could exchange for contribution points in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.
He saw the familiar Crimson Flame Sword Talisman and Dark Water, among others.
The Foundation Building Pill was naturally listed at the top.
“Is the Foundation Building Pill listed here? Could it be that there are surplus pills?” Chen Mobai couldn’t help asking Teng Jie.
“Definitely not, no matter how many there are, as soon as it’s listed, it will immediately be exchanged,” he said.
“It is listed there to offer all sect disciples a glimmer of hope. If your account has ten thousand contribution points, you can join the queue.”
“As for the order of exchange after queuing, it would depend on individual prowess.”
After finishing, Teng Jie couldn’t help but shake his head.
Both he and Lu Jun had passed the prime age of sixty, and neither of them had cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation. They had lost hope of building their foundation in this lifetime.
Now, they were just hoping to accumulate some Spirit Stones in hope that among their disciples or descendants, there would be a talented individual with an exceptional Spiritual Root who could continue their immortal cultivation journey.
Of the twenty-four true disciples in this generation, who would be willing to trade the Foundation Building Pill?” Chen Mobai asked, as his father had less than half a year left till he reached the age limit of sixty. When the time came, even if he hadn’t achieved a complete ninth level of Qi Cultivation, he would definitely strive to build the foundation.
As a son, Chen Mobai hoped that he could help his father acquire a Foundation Building Pill.
“It would be simpler to kill them than to make them trade the Foundation Building Pill,” said Teng Jie a matter of factly, rendering Chen Mobai speechless.
The cultivators in the Tianhe Realm placed the importance of the Foundation Building Pill far above their own lives.
“However, there’s one person who is not a true disciple but possesses an extra Foundation Building Pill. If you have a good relationship, it’s possible to make an inquiry. You might just be able to purchase it,” he added.
Just as Chen Mobai was about to give up, Teng Jie made a comment that brightened his eyes.
“Brother Teng, are you referring to…”
“That Sister Yin with the Heavenly Spiritual Root.”
Chen Mobai remembered that Qi Rui had once told him about this, but she has already been designated by Elder Fu to be the successor. Although she is currently in the Qi Cultivating Realm, she practices in a rank-4 Spirit Vein, which ordinary people can’t reach at all.
Brother Teng, do you have any way to get in touch with her on my behalf?”
“I’m just an ordinary disciple of the Spirit Plant Department. How could I reach that prodigy? In our department, only Brother Liu who was a True Disciple might have had some relations with her.”
Liu Guilong.
Chen Mobai was not familiar with him at all, but speaking of the True Disciples, he did know two of them.
“Does Brother Teng know Yuan Chiye and Sister Ding Ying?”
“Brother Yuan is a True Disciple from the Formation Department, and Sister Ding Ying is a True Disciple from the Talisman Creation Department. Wait, do you know them?”
Chen Mobai did not hide the fact that it was these two who had introduced him to the Divine Wood Sect.
“I see, if you want to find them, you can buy a Message Talisman here at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion using a Spirit Stone, ensuring it gets delivered to any disciple of the Divine Wood Sect at Giant Tree Ridge.”
Teng Jie taught Chen Mobai how to communicate with fellow disciples within the sect. This was the first time he had heard of such talisman, which was similar to a pager in the world of immortals.
Since he had enough Spirit Stones, he sent a Message Talisman to Yuan Chiye and Ding Ying, and also to Qi Rui, Wang Yuanwu, and Qi Hou, whom he had met on Green Light Island.
However, two of them were returned almost immediately.
This indicated that the Nameplates of these two people were not in Giant Tree Ridge.
Upon checking, Chen Mobai found that these were from Yuan Chiye and Wang Yuanwu.
“Brother Yuan might have already gone to Yun Meng Ze to take control of the situation. As for Wang Yuanwu, he couldn’t have…”
The worst-case scenario was that he had died in battle. Chen Mobai didn’t dare to think about it any further.
However, the good news came quickly after.
Both Qi Rui and Qj Hou responded. They were both in the sect, but not in Divine Wood City.
The last one was Ding Ying’s reply, with only three simple words: “Who are you?”
Chen Mobai could only shake his head with a bitter smile.
This senior sister had a forgetful nature, worthy of her status.
Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a line of text on the back.
“Zone B, Spirit Talisman Street, N0.127 Courtyard! Come see me here.”
It was an address. Chen Mobai thought it over and decided it would be good to pay a visit, so he asked Teng Jie about the location.
Upon arrival, he sent a voice talisman inside.
After a while, the main gate opened.
A curvaceous woman in a red long dress with a stunning body walked out.
She had almond eyes and peach cheeks, and her beautiful face stood at the doorway just as tall as Chen Mobai, giving a strong sense of oppression.
You are Chen Guixian. I am sure I don’t know you. Why did you contact me with a Message Talisman? Don’t you know it’s taboo?”
Chen Mobai was stunned when the woman in front of him said she was Ding
Ying. His mouth gaped open, flabbergasted.
She was just a young girl around thirteen or fourteen when he met her in Southstream Market, so how did she suddenly mature?
However, Chen Mobai quickly realized that this Ding Ying was not the same person he had met in Southstream Market.
He vaguely guessed a possibility. Seeing the woman at the door growing more and more impatient, he didn’t dare to hesitate any longer and quickly relayed the whole story..
