Chapter 312: Chapter 261: Void Stone_1
After hearing Chen Mobai’s words, everyone was stunned.
They all knew how terrifying Fei Mingdaoren was.
His cultivation level was ordinary, roughly similar to his in life, foundation establishment mid-stage.
However, since he had transformed into a zombie, and even possessed some of the unique features of a Golden Armored Zombie’s body, the toughness of his corpse far exceeded that of an ordinary Silver Armored Corpse. It could not be breached without a Rank-2 superior attack magical artifact or sword qi equivalent attacks. It would be tough to even scratch his skin.
Furthermore, the mysterious lotus lamp, the Rank-3 Corpse Pearl, and the cover of the large formation of the Netherworld Mansion at Lonely Spirit Ridge, probably even a late Foundation Establishment cultivator could only manage to self-preserve here.
However, such a powerful enemy was eliminated by this handsome junior brother of theirs!
Looks of disbelief appeared on the faces of Shan Hongyi and Mei Jingjun.
In contrast, Yan Jinye, who knew about Chen Mobai’s Sword Cultivation Realm, showed an expression of “as it should be”.
Condensed to the extreme, the Sword Light was sharp and unbeatable, the bane of the tough-skinned zombies.
Moreover, there was this junior brother’s Qingyang Fire Seed, obtained from the Secret Realm of the Divine Tree, which had strong yang energy.
Combining the two, it was understandable to have struggled to kill Fei Mingdaoren.
“Worthy of being Senior Brother. It’s normal that you could achieve this,” Yan Jinye said, which silenced Shan Hongyi and Mei Jingjun, who were initially somewhat dubious.
They recalled the name Chen Mobai had earned in the sect as a newly advanced Foundation Establishment cultivator.
A peerless Sword Cultivation Genius!
Could this man be another Hong He?
The two, thinking thus, looked at Chen Mobai differently.
In the previous generation of True Disciples, Hong He was the most famous. He was strong when weak, killing three Rank-2 demonic beasts at the early foundation stage, hailed as the most brilliant genius of the Divine Wood Sect in a century, a Gold Core cultivator.
Chen Mobai was able to kill Fei Mingdaoren at the early foundation stage, an accomplishment no less impressive.
“I am indebted to Junior Brother Chen for saving my life this time. When we return to the sect, I must properly thank you,” Shan Hongyi said, his tone completely different from before.
“This Jade Handle Golden Axe is a Rank-2 peak magic artifact. Junior Brother, you have contributed the most this time, you should take it.”
Chen Mobai saw the Jade Handle Golden Axe that Shan Hongyi handed over and didn’t react at first. But then considering the customs of the Tianhe Realm and seeing Mei Jingjun and Yan Jinye’s matter-of-fact expressions, he accepted it graciously.
Compared to the Lotus Lamp, which he didn’t know how to use, this Jade Handle Golden Axe was very straightforward. Even with his basic treasure appraisal skills, he could deduce the practice method for it.
Simply input spiritual powers into it.
“Since this place was the nest of Fei Mingdaoren, maintained for hundreds of years, there might be hidden treasures inside. Now that the greatest danger has perished under Junior Brother Chen’s hand, we should look around,” said Shan Hongyi, slightly envious at Chen Mobai accepting the Golden Axe. He had personally experienced the power of this artifact; it even broke through his Rank-2 defensive magic weapon, pointing to its strength.
As he couldn’t acquire the Jade Handle Golden Axe, he hoped to scour this place to take some sort of compensation for the loss of his Rank-2 Magic Artifact.
“You two go ahead. I’m unable to move, so I’ll wait here,” said Yan Jinye with a bitter smile. Her face was pale and her vitality at its lowest point. It was feared that if she didn’t recover, it would cause damage to her source.
“Then I will go to deal with Elder Brother’s body, and at the very least, should bring his corpse back to the sect,” Mei Jingjun didn’t fare much better, and since they owed their survival to Chen Mobai and the other’s rescue, they tactfully gave them all the spoils.
“Junior Brother Chen, let’s regroup here in an hour,” said Shan Hongyi before rushing off in the direction indicated by the bronze plate in his hand after he had finished speaking.
Chen Mobai thought for a moment and decided to go with the flow.
After notifying Yan Jinye and the others to ensure their safety, he headed toward where he had sensed the most spiritual energy.
Soon, he came to a cliff side.
His sword qi burst out, and he carved through the rock disguise.
He saw a cave dwelling that had been meticulously carved out. Before entering, he already felt a surge of rich spiritual energy.
He looked closer and saw a small white jade sacrificial altar in the center of the dwelling—identical to the one he saw earlier with the Wumu Hall on it.
Except, what was placed on this was a twenty-or-so diameter silver-gray disc.
At one glance, Chen Mobai recognized it as an Array Plate.
This Array Plate had three cracks, dividing it into four parts. Fei Mingdaoren seemed to have collected three of these already, and now it lacked a corner.
After Chen Mobai ascertained it was safe, he reached out and took down the silver-gray Array Plate.
Then, the rich spiritual energy became even stronger, as if he were in a mist of spiritual energy.
The familiar sensation caused Chen Mobai’s face to change slightly.
He activated his Void Spirit Eye and looked down at the small white jade sacrificial altar, only to find that it was made of Spirit Stone, and of a not low quality at that—it met the standard of an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone.
“It’s a Spirit Stone in the ore state.” Due to Yuan Chiye serving as the town guard for the Spirit Stone Mine in the past year, Chen Mobai had heard him mention Spirit Stone mining conditions over drinks.
In the world of Immortal Cultivation, the Spirit Stones in circulation were all cut to standard shapes and weights, to serve as the most basic unit of currency in circulation around the world..
