“Indeed, the root systems of the two tea trees have already been guided to connect. Soon after, this Enlightenment White Tea should be able to upgrade to a Rank-2 top-grade tea.”

After Zhuo Ming completed the task, Chen Mobai inspected the results and lavishly praised his precious disciple.

In the field of Spirit Plants, Zhuo Ming’s level, even if compared to the Immortal Gate, is already at the top of Rank-3 Spirit Plant Masters.

In fact, she might even surpass some Rank-4 masters in specific aspects.

“It’s all thanks to Master’s teaching.”

Zhuo Ming humbly responded.

“Master, now that Senior Sister Zhuo has mastered the Mother Earth Cultivation Technique, can we also transplant a Rank-3 tea tree from the Snow Peak Bai Family?”

After hearing about the special leveling-up method of Enlightenment White Tea, Luo Yixuan’s eyes lit up, and she thought of the highly renowned Snow Needle Immortal Bud.

“I never bully others by flaunting my status.”

However, after hearing this, Chen Mobai tapped Luo Yixuan on the forehead. Although this little disciple was clever and well-behaved, she harbored the pure mindset of a local from the Eastern Wilderness, and despite teaching her for many years, she would occasionally reveal her true nature.

Xue Ting, who was standing to the side, couldn’t help but show a look of respect upon hearing the conversation between master and disciple.

With Chen Mobai’s current identity and status, if he were to hint at wanting the Snow Needle Immortal Bud, it’s likely that without needing the Divine Wood Sect to take action, the Snow Peak Bai Family would voluntarily dig up and deliver the thousand-year-old tea tree to his doorstep.

Yet, he has always been restrained, maintaining a sage-like composure, completely out of step with the murky world of the Eastern Wilderness.

It was precisely for this reason that Xue Ting admired him deeply.

“How is Niece Xue’s injury?”

Just then, a gentle voice sounded by her ear. Chen Mobai’s concern made Xue Ting bow slightly, indicating she was much better, though her vital essence was recovering slowly. She was still undergoing dietary rehabilitation and it might take another two months before she could fully recover.

“That’s good to hear. Sect Leader Zhu from the Snow-blowing Palace is aware of Qi Cuizhen’s defection. She learned that you were saved by our sect and specifically wrote a letter to express her thanks, also mentioning she would like to take you back for treatment.”

Upon Chen Mobai’s return, Yue Zutao had mentioned this matter. When he came to look at the Enlightenment White Tea and saw Xue Ting there, he brought it up.

“I have been imposing on Sect Master Chen during this time. Now that my injuries have improved, I think it’s time for me to take my leave.”

Xue Ting also felt it was inappropriate to remain in Xiao Nanshan as an outsider for so long. Hearing Chen Mobai’s words, she took the opportunity to bid farewell.

“Stay for another two months. I will reply to Sect Leader Zhu on this matter.”

But Chen Mobai shook his head, insistent on seeing her off properly, having already taken care of her for nearly half a year. He preferred that Xue Ting completely recuperate at Xiao Nanshan before returning.

“I will heed Sect Master Chen’s arrangements.”

After hearing this, Xue Ting lowered her head, her lips curling into a faint smile of gratitude towards Chen Mobai.

After the customary meal, Chen Mobai took Liu Wenbo under the Immortal Peach Tree.

The master and disciple discussed the current situation of Little Nan Mountain Shop. Over the years, thanks to the outstanding talisman papers and inks produced by industrial manufacturing, they had cornered the market for low-end talisman paper in the entire Eastern Wilderness.

Now, almost all Loose Cultivators have abandoned the traditional method of producing talisman paper, which was time-consuming, often irregular in thickness, and prone to breaking.

It is only some foresighted members of the sects who see the danger in Little Nan Mountain Shop’s dumping of industrial talisman paper, making efforts to resist it.

However, faced with industrially produced talisman paper that is soft, smooth, and flawless, with each sheet uniform in size, even many disciples from major sects like the Five Elements Sect and Back to Sky Valley defy their sects’ wishes and invest in Little Nan Mountain Shop.

And with the widespread sale of talisman paper, the matching Xiao Nan Ink naturally also affected the Eastern Wilderness Cultivators.

This conveniently carried, ready-to-use ink, while not exceptional in quality, is stable and has completely dominated the market for Rank-1 talisman ink.

Today, nearly ninety percent of Loose Cultivators are using the affordable and high-quality talisman paper and ink. Major sects like the Five Elements Sect still maintain control, at least outwardly supporting their own talisman paper and ink.

But the traditional talisman paper and ink markets of the second and third-tier sects, as well as most Cultivator Families, have been completely crushed by Little Nan Mountain Shop’s dumping over these six or seven years.

Now serving the entire Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai’s Puppet Factory is operating at overcapacity each year and still struggling to meet the demand.

Faced with a shortage of goods and increasing demand, Liu Wenbo suggests whether it might be necessary to raise prices to control it.

“We need to maintain our reputation, so let’s not increase prices for now. However, those extra giveaways of talisman paper and inks we were doing before can be stopped.”

Now that the market has been established, with the traditional talisman paper and ink producers of the Eastern Wilderness either becoming distributors or changing their lines of work, there’s no need to continue the giveaways.

Liu Wenbo also mentioned that several commerce associations beyond the Eastern Wilderness had approached him with partnership proposals.

They wish to sell Little Nan Mountain Shop’s talisman paper and ink in places like Dongwu and the East Barbarians.

“Decline for now.”

Chen Mobai directly shook his head. Although Liu Wenbo didn’t understand why, he nodded in agreement anyway.

Following that, the master and disciple shifted their conversation to discuss the tea trees.

Some of the wild tea trees from Giant Tree Ridge, those imbued with Spiritual Energy, had already been moved to Xiao Nanshan by Zhuo Ming, which was precisely why the Enlightenment White Tea was able to upgrade to Rank-2 so quickly.
