Chapter 504: Chapter 348 Golden Boy and Jade Maiden _2

Bear with it a bit longer!

Although the others from Pure Yang Academy were annoyed deep down, Xiahou Weihuan held a superior standing in their hearts. Since he had spoken, they had no choice but to endure.

…

“We have arrived. This here is our Jumang Daoist Academy.”

Chen Mobai and the rest followed Song Yuexin to a gigantic lake. Right in the center was a vast Big Tree, so wide it would take ten people to encircle it. With the rustle of fresh winds, the tree’s lush leaves swayed, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

Everyone felt a purifying feeling wash over them as they caught the scent, cleansing them inside out.

“This is the number one Spirit Plant of the immortal world, the Big Tree!”

Many people were witnessing this rank-6 Spirit Plant for the first time. According to rumors, it was brought and planted here by the founder of hermit Jumang from outside the corelands, where, over thousands of years, it had put down roots in the entirety of Land Elemental planet.

This Big Tree bore fruit every eight hundred years.

The Immortal Tree Fruit could extend anyone’s lifespan by four hundred and eighty years upon consumption.

In addition to the fruits, the Big Tree’s leaves, roots, bark, and sap were among the most treasured Alchemy ingredients in the immortal world.

Chen Mobai remembered something Yu Rulin had shared – one of the primary ingredients of the Turtle Longevity Pill, the most refined work from the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute, was the bark of the Big Tree.

The Soul Awakening Dao Pill that the Qing Ladies had administered to him also used the Big Tree’s flower as its primary ingredient, thereby contributing to its extraordinary spiritual potency.

Pill production of the Jade marrow pill, the Foundation Establishment spiritual medicine of Jumang Daoist Academy, had to be reduced in recent years due to the scarcity of Big Tree sap.

“Everyone, you will be staying on Small Leaf Island.”

Song Yuexin signalled to them from the lakeside. With a wave of her hand, water waves transformed into an invisible bridge under her feet. She led in the front while Wang Meng Yuan brought up the rear, with Chen Mobai’s group in between, as if an invisible water bridge was paving the way for them towards an island to the right of the Big Tree.

The Jumang Daoist Academy was located over the largest wetlands lake in the immortal world, and only the rank-5 Water Vein present here could support the flourishing growth of the Big Tree.

The lake, reportedly spanning thirty thousand acres, was dotted with one thousand nine hundred and sixty-eight islands, extolled as “a tree, a water body, thousands of peaks casting shadows”.

Each island appeared like a star scattered across the beautiful lake.

This lake was named “Wan Shui Lake”.

And thus, the Jumang Daoist Academy held the elegant title of “A Thousand Hills and Wan Shui”.

Chen Mobai and his entourage soon arrived on a picturesque island. Wooden houses studded the cliffs, overlooking the rippling turquoise Wan Shui Lake. The island was flushed with green trees and fresh flowers – the view alone was enough to match any location on Crimson Mountain.

“Thank you, but Mei Shuan and I had planned to meet today. Could you kindly arrange a ride to Wood God Island?”

After everyone chose a wooden house to stay in, Luo Hezheng, who was a teacher, sought out Song Yuexin. He had acquaintances in hermit Jumang, including the instructor of Sky Blue, one of the six major medicine factories.

Primarily, Luo Hezheng was here because the medicine factories from each of the four Daoist Academies had a batch of mature spiritual medicines ready, and he wanted to see if they could be combined to concoct a batch of Five Elements Gold Core Pills.

“I will take you there immediately.”

Song Yuexin nodded. Wang Meng Yuan stayed back on Small Leaf Island to take care of and welcome the group from Dance Tool Dao Academy.

“I happen to have a friend to see too. Let’s head to Wood God Island together.”

After Chen Mobai chose a wooden house, he overheard Luo Hezheng’s conversation with Song Yuexin and decided to join them.

Wood God Island was the largest among all, hosting the Big Tree and forming the core of the Jumang Daoist Academy campus.

Not knowing where he would be located, Chen Mobai had scheduled his meeting with the Qing Ladies over there.

“Please follow me.”

Song Yuexin again demonstrated her water bridge technique and ushered both of them towards the Big Tree.

“Chen Elder Student, you have an incredibly distinguished reputation. However, it might be best for you to lay low when you’re on your own.”

On their way, Song Yuexin suddenly said.

“Oh, why is that?”

“Many of our seniors from Jumang Daoist Academy have suffered defeat at your hands in Little Red Sky. They couldn’t wait to challenge you in this offline meet. If you have the Dance Tool Dao Academy graduates by your side, I’m afraid some might not hold back,”

Upon hearing Song Yue Xin’s words, Chen Mobai chuckled. He remembered when he and Hua Zijing went to the cave in Crimson City, disguising themselves using a mask formed by the Green Scale Arm Guard. It was indeed a unique experience.

It was then that he met a mysterious girl with sunglasses who told fortunes at the Divine Machine Mansion, and a former schoolmate from Starlight Institute named Shi Wanyu with whom he had not been in contact for a long time.

His mood that day seemed extraordinarily pleasant.

Perhaps it was because the girl with sunglasses had resolved a dilemma for him. Or it could have been the youthful and beautiful girl by his side, radiating vigor.

Reflecting on this, Chen Mobai felt an increased sense of anticipation for today.

After all, the Qing woman he was about to meet today was also a beautiful girl and could be considered his best friend.

“Which friend is Brother Chen going to meet?”

Song Yue Xin, seeing Chen Mo Bai’s smiling face, couldn’t help but feel curious. In her mind, he was a man of pride. Seeing his cheerful disposition probably meant he was meeting a friend he was anticipating.

“We graduated high school in the same year from Red Sandstone City. Unfortunately, each Daoist Academy only admits one new student. We had to part ways. She had to cross a thousand mountains and rivers to come here, while I was assigned to Crimson Mountain.”

Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Song Yue Xin, who was used to watching TV dramas, couldn’t help but imagine a complicated romance between a boy and a girl.

“How nice it is. Both of you were admitted to the four major Daoist Academies, which is a perfect match. If you happen to be together in the future, you can help each other on the path of cultivation without holding each other back.”

Song Yue Xin had also experienced a relationship during high school. Unfortunately, after the entrance exam, she enrolled in Jumang Daoist Academy, and her boyfriend could only go to Bai Er Shi Mansion. For the first two years, they would go back to their hometown every year and share their love for each other.

But after that, Song Yue Xin comprehended the brink law and found that he couldn’t walk with her to the end.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment, the naive and sweet love had ended.

She had been savoring this experience in her heart, but if she could start over, she would still choose to break up.

Because she didn’t want to see her lover growing old.

“Admitted? No, she did not get admitted to Jumang Daoist Academy. Qing woman was invited.”

After listening to Song Yuexin’s words, Chen Mobai shook his head and said something that surprised her.

Invitation?

Could it be the intervention of a Golden Core Cultivator, which might lead to a breakup in the future?

Wait, what did he just call her?

Qing Woman!!

Muttering that familiar name, Song Yue Xin suddenly realized that this invitation was not a backdoor entry. Instead, it was an invited admission by Jumang Daoist Academy.

“Didn’t you reach the airport early? Why are you arriving now?”

By this time, they had reached Wood God Island. A clear voice was heard from the shore. Looking up,

They saw a girl in a white shirt and black shoes leaning against a tree on the shore, waving at them. She had a beautiful smile on her face and her clear eyes sparkled with happiness. Her tight jeans outlined her perfect waist and hip curve, revealing her slender long legs. With her slightly curly hair reaching her waist, the entire scene was a beautiful landscape painting in harmony with the lake and trees.

“I brought the people from the Academy to Small Leaf Island first before coming to find you.”

Chen Mobai waved to the Qing Woman who he had not seen for a long time. He then bid farewell to Luo Hezheng and Song Yue Xin on the bridge.

“I’ll go ahead then, I also know the direction to Small Leaf Island, and I will go back on my own later.”

Luo Hezheng nodded in agreement. Song Yue Xin still had her mouth open, not responding.

She did not expect Chen Mobai’s friend to be Qing Woman, and it looked like they had a closer relationship than she had imagined.

“Thank you for guiding me, Miss Song. See you.”

Seeing her still not responding, Chen Mobai called out again.

“Uh…okay, take care, brother Chen.”

Is this what they call a match made in heaven?
