Chapter 1971: Chapter 959: Xingxuan and Xing Ji
"This time going to the Beidou Conference, besides broadening my horizons, I also want to buy some elixirs for Green Pearl..."
Zhou Ye said, as Chen Mobai looked puzzled, wondering what kind of elixirs needed to be purchased outside when Qing Nu’s Danxia Pavilion was all-encompassing and had everything.
However, soon, as Chen Mobai’s gaze fell on Green Pearl, his face changed with realization.
Green Pearl’s vitality seemed lacking, as if she was injured, likely due to a failed Core Formation.
Even after using two Golden Liquid Jade Pills, they were of no success, indicating it might never be possible in her lifetime.
But Zhou Ye was obviously not giving up and wanted to check out the Beidou Conference, so Chen Mobai went along with him.
As everyone was talking, Zhou Shengqing also came over, with three people behind him: E Yun, Mu Yuan, and a cold-tempered girl in a white dress. Zhou Shengqing stayed behind to guard the house, but his invitation and slot would not be wasted.
"Greetings to the Sect Leader and the two Ancestors!"
The three behind Zhou Shengqing immediately saluted them upon arriving.
The girl in the white dress was Zhou Bingyan, another Foundation Establishment aside from Green Pearl, apparently a major cultivation focus of the Zhou family since Zhou Wangshen.
Because Zhou Shengqing had reached the Legal Body Nascent Soul stage and saw no further advancement, he dedicated most of his energy to nurturing sect successors. And Zhou Bingyan, being not only a sect disciple but also a family descendant with decent spiritual root talent, was clearly someone Zhou Shengqing had high hopes for.
Chen Mobai listened with Echoes in the Void to her aura and found she was already at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, likely ready to attempt Core Formation soon.
Zhou Bingyan had a good relationship with Zhuo Ming, and after paying respects to the Nascent Soul Ancestors present, she went to Zhuo Ming’s side.
"This is our younger disciple Zhou Bingyan..."
Chen Mobai was acquainted with Zhou Bingyan, and seeing her approach, he smiled and introduced her to Qing Nu.
"Greetings to the Sect Master’s Wife!"
Zhou Bingyan immediately saluted, and Qing Nu smilingly took out a bottle of elixirs as a greeting gift.
"It’s actually Nirvana Dan..."
Elixirs from Danxia Pavilion were packaged uniquely, like this bottle engraved with the words ’Nirvana’ in large letters. Zhou Bingyan was shocked upon seeing it, her face showing hesitancy.
This elixir was extremely precious, even for Core Formation cultivators.
"This is a small Nirvana Dan that I modified for Foundation Establishment practitioners to consume and refine. The bottle isn’t produced yet, so I used the Nirvana Dan’s instead."
Qing Nu pointed to the bottom of the bottle, where a printed paper covering the instructions and manufacturing date of the Nirvana Dan was attached.
Zhou Bingyan examined it closely and understood the usage and precautions for the small Nirvana Dan.
At this time, Green Pearl also approached Qing Nu to pay respects.
Among the four female cultivators present, Qing Nu had the highest status and cultivation, naturally forming a small circle centered around her.
Seeing Green Pearl, Qing Nu also gifted a small Nirvana Dan, which would help recover her original source and vitality after a failed Core Formation.
Green Pearl expressed her gratitude profusely.
"Senior Brother, I’ll leave the sect to you."
With that, Chen Mobai and the others bid farewell to Zhou Shengqing and headed towards the teleportation array. Shortly, they arrived at Eastern Yi.
Since the large-scale transmission array on the Star Heaven Dao Sect’s side wasn’t linked with the Five Elements Sect, they would have to fly the rest of the way themselves.
The large-scale transmission array at Golden Crow Immortal City could reach directly, but Chen Mobai obviously wouldn’t go there; though he wasn’t afraid himself, he was with many others.
Besides, if the three Nascent Souls of the Five Elements Sect went over, even the White Crow Ancestor might think they were making a move on the Sun Bathing Sea, and wouldn’t even open the doors.
Considering these, plus it being a rare chance to enhance sect cohesion, Chen Mobai decided to lead everyone by flight.
The route he followed with Ancestor Mu Qin in the past had few demonic beasts, the only Rank-4 being a Dark Purple Scorpion, just right for refining an elixir to enhance divine sense.
The others had no objections to Chen Mobai’s decision.
Soon, they entered the territory of the Eastern Yi Sky Mulberry Valley.
Out of courtesy, Chen Mobai thought it best to notify the Sky Mulberry Valley, as the path they would take was under their domain.
"I’ll go; I’m familiar with all the sects within the Eastern Yi Territory!"
Zhou Ye volunteered, having been in charge here for decades after the Five Elements Sect conquered the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace. Had it not been to ease Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai wouldn’t have necessarily brought him back.
"Then I trouble Senior Brother Zhou!"
Chen Mobai nodded, and Zhou Ye signaled to Green Pearl by Qing Nu’s side before transforming into a five-color escaping light, heading towards the Pure Immortal City below.
The vast aura of the Nascent Soul immediately put those below on high alert, even activating the city-protecting great formation.
However, Zhou Ye halted midair, showing he meant no harm. Soon, a Core Formation cultivator emerged from Pure Immortal City to negotiate; Chen Mobai recognized him—it was Yi Chenghan.
"Greetings to Sect Master Chen and fellow friends of the Five Elements Sect."
Yi Chenghan and Zhou Ye flew over together, admiring the impressive sight of the cultivators standing on the five-colored cloud, their aura imposing.
Back when he traveled to the Eastern Wilderness with Ancestor Mu Qin, the strength of the Five Elements Sect wasn’t even on par with their Sky Mulberry Valley. Yet, after decades, they had attained such prominence.
"Didn’t expect Real Person Yi to be in charge of this city, quite a coincidence..."
