I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 990: Chapter 543: The Secret of Flower Bloom Courtyard_2 Chapter 990: Chapter 543: The Secret of Flower Bloom Courtyard_2 Therefore, after making arrangements for Yu Wood City, Chen Mobai calmly and irreversibly took his seat at the highest peak of the Danxia Mountain Range.

During this period, Qin Baipeng, the City Lord of Red Sandstone City, visited several times, hoping to have Chen Mobai save him.

Lan Haitian had already restrained all Immortal Sect institutions in Red Sandstone City, initiating a thorough investigation and screening from top to bottom, with key personnel from several departments taken away for questioning by the Department of Law Enforcement.

As the saying goes, “Weeding out the radishes pulls out the mud.” Before long, Qin Baipeng was also asked to cooperate with the investigation.

Chen Mobai could only assure Qin Baipeng that as long as he had no ties to the Ascension Sect, he would remain unharmed and safe.

After Qin Baipeng, representatives from both Red Dawn Institution and Cinnabarite Institute also sought him out.

“Councilor Chen, many teachers have been taken away for investigation, and many classes have had to stop. The students are all in a panic…”

“The teachers can all take vows of Dao heart, assuring that they have nothing to do with the Ascension Sect. Could Councilor Chen perhaps speak with the Department of Law Enforcement and communicate on our behalf?”

“At the very least, ensure the normal conduct of the students’ classes…”

After hearing the requests from both institutions, Chen Mobai communicated with Lan Haitian, who showed considerable respect. Except for a few key figures, he had the rest of the teachers sent back.

The person in charge of this matter was Lin Yin, and when she came over, there was another matter at hand.

“What is this for?”

Chen Mobai watched curiously as Lin Yin carried transparent glass tubes, in and out of the wooden hut beneath the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree where Shi Qing had long been in seclusion, and couldn’t help but ask.

“These are Spirit Sealing Tubes. They can extract remnants of spiritual power and other energy traces from the air. This way, we can identify who had more contact with Shi Qing.”

Qing Women, a member of the Sky-Mending Group, answered. It was a device they had developed.

In front of Chen Mobai, Lin Yin deployed the device, and soon a stream of blue light formed from the void and flowed into the glass tube in her hand.

Chen Mobai: “Is it really this miraculous?”

Qing Women: “It can only extract traces from the past year; anything earlier has long since dissipated. It’s just a routine procedure, and I doubt Team Leader Lin expects to find any crucial clues with it.”

During this time, Qing Women had been staying by his side. While Chen Mobai presided on the mountain summit, she stayed in the wooden hut on the mountainside.

Although Lan Haitian was short on manpower, he seemed to have forgotten that someone like Qing Women existed within the Sky-Mending Group.

Soon, Lin Yin completed her task.

The energy in all four glass tubes she held was the same blue color.

“This is Shi Qing’s spiritual power, without any further discoveries.”

Lin Yin shook her head in disappointment, although this was an anticipated outcome. As she spoke, she took out a talisman and affixed it to one of the glass tubes.

“What’s this now?”

Chen Mobai asked, pointing to the talisman.

“This is a Spirit Coagulation Talisman. Used in tandem with the Spirit Sealing Tube, it can solidify the extracted spiritual power, preventing it from dissipating. Although Master Huakai has died, her spiritual power holds high research value, and Elder Yuanxu specifically called to have us collect it and send it to him.”

Lin Yin made no attempt to hide anything from Chen Mobai.

After his exceptional performance, Chen Mobai’s level of trust within the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect was no lower than that of Lan Haitian, and he was entitled to be informed of many things.

“Oh, isn’t there a body? Wouldn’t it be more convenient and faster to extract directly from the body?”

Chen Mobai found it somewhat odd to ask; although a cultivator’s spiritual power would slowly dissipate after death, with the technology of the Immortal Sect, they should certainly be able to extract enough.

“Master Huakai’s body was taken by Peach Blossom Sage and given to Three Extremes Sage. Elder Yuanxu is mainly interested in researching the Biyu Wutong.”

Lin Yin didn’t dare say more, only hinting vaguely at Chen Mobai in accordance with Lan Haitian’s intentions.

“I see, are four tubes enough, or should we collect more?”

Unaware of the Nine-Colored Immortal Flower incident, Chen Mobai didn’t understand the hint; instead, he was concerned about the task Elder Yuanxu had assigned.

“That’s enough, the document only required us to collect three tubes, and I’ve already extracted one more. Later, I still need to take a branch from the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, and I’ll need Councilor Chen’s assistance for that.”

After hearing Lin Yin’s words, Chen Mobai nodded and then used the Immortal Flower’s sealing technique to subdue the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree. He personally took action and cut off a section of the branch with his Purple Electric Sword.

After seeing Lin Yin off, Chen Mobai suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree standing at the mountain’s peak, pensive.

“What’s the matter?”

Qing Nu, who was by his side, saw his expression and asked curiously.

“The Spirit Sealing Tube and the Spirit Coagulation Talisman, how long can they solidify and preserve the Spiritual Power within?”

Chen Mobai, during his time studying at the Repairing Heaven Institute, had also attended more than a dozen Yuanqi system classes with Yan Bingxuan, and was very familiar with the foundational theories of Elder Yuanxu. He suddenly had an idea that could significantly increase his own combat power in a short time.

“If you are willing to continually use Spirit Coagulation Talismans, theoretically, it could be an unlimited amount of time. The Yuanyang Ancestor’s Pure Yang Qi was preserved in this way,” Qing Nu replied. Although she was from the Sky-Mending Group, she was very familiar with the Spirit Sealing Tube and the Spirit Coagulation Talisman; after all, there were many occasions where their group had to deal with corpses, extracting residual Spiritual Power and such.

Chen Mobai: “Can the Spirit Sealing Tube store any quality of Spiritual Power?”

Qing Nu: “That’s not the case; it depends on the quality of energy you need to store. For instance, explosive thunder or sharp Sword Qi would require specially made, custom-ordered Spirit Sealing Tubes.”

Chen Mobai: “What about flames, like the ‘Great Sun Qianyang Fire’ from our Pure Yang Scroll practitioners?”

Qing Nu: “For that, you would need ceramic pipes made of Spirit Soil, which have good thermal insulation and won’t crack under high temperatures from True Fire.”

Chen Mobai asked some detailed questions, and Qing Nu answered them all.

Soon the sky darkened, and the two said their goodbyes with reluctance.

After Qing Nu left the mountaintop, Chen Mobai had just sat down when he looked up in surprise towards the sky.

Lan Haitian’s figure flew in from a distance, slowly descending.

“Brother Chen, you’ve worked hard during this time.”

“Not at all, I’ve just been staying here. On the other hand, you’ve been the one dealing with the aftermath, which is truly exhausting.”

Chen Mobai felt that Lan Haitian had intentionally waited for Qing Nu to leave before coming over. He invited him to sit down and began to boil water for tea.

“The latest notification from the upper echelons is that Peach Blossom Sage will soon bring people from Jumang Academy and Xianwu Hall to take care of this Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree.”

This news from Lan Haitian was something Chen Mobai had expected.

In the Immortal Sect, the one most renowned for their knowledge about Spirit Plants was none other than the Peach Blossom Sage, who had an advantageous background and natural gifts.

“Then, I suppose I am relieved of my duties.”

Chen Mobai said with a smile. Although sitting here every day, with the Qi of the Fourth-Grade Spirit Vein for cultivation and receiving the highest quality treatment within the Immortal Sect, it still was not as good as Giant Tree Ridge.

Moreover, being tied down here made it difficult to do many things.

“The Department of Portal Management opened Master Huakai’s Domain and discovered various items she had prepared for executing a Forbidden Technique.”

Lan Haitian suddenly shared another piece of news. Chen Mobai picked up the teacup and brewed a cup for him before listening intently.

“We do not yet know the nature of this Forbidden Technique, but it is known to be related to this Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree, and it’s very likely to involve the core inheritance of the Ancient Evil Path Union’s Flower Bloom Courtyard.”

The Flower Bloom Courtyard Head two thousand years ago was the leader of the Ancient Evil Path Union, with a cultivation level and status comparable to today’s Ascension Sect Master. Although records of this lineage in the Immortal Sect were vague, Lan Haitian knew that person was also at the Transformation God Level.

And his accomplishment of Divinity Transformation was partly because he took advantage of the war that opened the portals to Different Worlds, sneaking into one such realm.

Although the Flower Bloom Courtyard Head’s Divinity Transformation was discovered by natives of the Different World due to leaked aura, leading to a siege that he barely escaped from. He then was hunted down by Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Immortal Sect and eventually vanished into oblivion.

However, the secret of his Divinity Transformation has always been pursued by the Upper Echelons of the Immortal Sect.

As Lan Haitian’s words came to this point, Chen Mobai had already understood his implication.
