Chapter 1138 - 1138 626 The Source of Five Elements

Chapter 1138: Chapter 626 The Source of Five Elements Essence_2 Chapter 1138: Chapter 626 The Source of Five Elements Essence_2 He immediately booked a flight ticket and headed to Red Sandstone City to discuss with Chen Mobai how to improve the Formless Puppets specifically for condensing the Five Elements Essence.

Since Chai Lun had been notified, other friends who had once stood by him through thick and thin could certainly not be forgotten.

Just having returned to the Red City Cave Heaven and having arranged for the Tiangong Instrument Factory to manufacture equipment, Zhou Tiangong, upon receiving Chen Mobai’s call, immediately called a halt, indicating that the plan needed to be changed.

If the Formless Puppets were to supply the Five Elements Essence in the future, the connection between these puppets and the equipment would definitely have to be considered in advance.

If it had been anyone else telling Zhou Tiangong to change the plan at the last minute, he would certainly have given them the cold shoulder.

But the suggestion from Chen Mobai made Zhou Tiangong realize that this could change the quiet industries of puppetry and elemental energy.

The thought that this was an order that could change two industries, and considering that it came from Chen Mobai, Zhou Tiangong was no longer angry and booked another flight ticket to Red Sandstone City.

The last to be informed was naturally Wen Ren Xuewei.

When Chen Mobai called her, she was brewing tea in a pavilion above a lake that shimmered in the light.

The pale green-robed girl gently lifted the teapot with her slender and snow-white right hand, and as the clear and translucent tea poured through the tea strainer, her elegant movements released a faint fragrance of tea from the crystal-clear, amber-like cups, while a light drizzle fell outside the pavilion.

She had the speakerphone on, sipping tea while listening to Chen Mobai’s words.

Around the pavilion, by the lakeside, lotuses bloomed as if they were opening just to honor her tea-drinking.

Leisure time spent brewing tea, listening to the wind, and watching the rain.

Wen Ren Xuewei was undoubtedly the most contented person in the whole Immortal Gate.

However, her graceful movements came to an abrupt halt after she finished listening to Chen Mobai.

The teacup she had raised to her lips paused, and it took her a long while to respond.

As the future helmswoman of Jumang Academy, Wen Ren Xuewei was without a doubt one of the upper-echelons of the Immortal Gate.

In the original four-member team that created the Formless Puppets, only she realized that Chen Mobai’s proposal could cause a huge upheaval for the future of the Immortal Gate.

But immediately, she also felt a sense of honor arising within her.

Because she too was about to participate in it, and in the future of the Immortal Gate, she would at least leave her own mark because of this matter.

“Wait for me a moment, I’ll be right there!”

That was all Wen Ren Xuewei replied to Chen Mobai.

Then she flew across the lake and, amidst the light rain, arrived in front of the Great Chun Tree.

The pale green-robed girl performed complex seal formulas towards this number one Spirit Plant of the Immortal Gate, and soon after, a silver radiance flickered—she had vanished above the lake.

In Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai, who had just hung up the phone, wondered how Wen Ren Xuewei was going to get there.

Would it be by plane or train?

With her status, it was only right for him to personally welcome her.

As Chen Mobai was about to call her again, he suddenly changed in expression and looked up towards the sky.

The void suddenly distorted, and then a fine crack suddenly split open, slender and snow-white hands reaching out from the gap.

At that moment, Chen Mobai could not help gripping the Purple Electric Sword in his palm.

But remembering he was in the Immortal Gate, he held himself back, merely gripping the sword in his hand without drawing it.

Thankfully he did, for when he saw the familiar figure of a beautiful girl stepping out from the void, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“How did you get here? Void Walking?”

Chen Mobai discreetly loosened his grip on the Purple Electric Sword and sent it back into his Golden Core Domain. He looked with curiosity at Wen Ren Xuewei as she descended from the sky and asked.

“This is the Great Void Transference aided by the Great Chun Tree, which allows me to reach most domains of the Immortal Gate instantly.”

Wen Ren Xuewei’s reply made Chen Mobai marvel in admiration.

“That’s amazing. If Red Sandstone City faces another attack from the Ascension Sect, and I can’t hold them off, will I be able to call you for help?”

“An opponent that you can’t defeat, I would, even more so, be unable to. Besides, activating the Great Void Transference consumes more than half of my spiritual power. Even if I did come over, I would probably be at the end of my strength.”

“Isn’t your Lasting Spring Cultivation best at restoring energy?”

Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s question, Wen Ren Xuewei revealed a rather strange smile, then lifted the gauze-like sleeve of her Fairy Qing Shan. Chen Mobai saw her arm twisted three hundred and sixty degrees, as if it had been broken.

“Only a God-Transcending cultivator can endure Void Teleportation. If it wasn’t for the protection of the Lasting Spring Cultivation, what would have arrived before you was a pile of minced meat.”

The words of Wen Ren Xuewei left Chen Mobai with his mouth agape, his face a picture of shock.

“You could have just taken a plane here, I wouldn’t have minded the wait?”

By then, Wen Ren Xuewei’s twisted arm had already recovered under the effect of the Lasting Spring Cultivation. She slipped her delicate, snow-white arm back into the wide sleeve of her Qing Shan, flashing Chen Mobai a subtle smile, her words tinged with playfulness.

“The main reason is that I’ve just recently mastered the Void Teleportation and couldn’t resist the urge to show off in front of you.”

Chen Mobai could only give her a thumbs up.

To be honest, he was truly envious of the Void Teleportation.

But the thought of her slender arm twisted like a pretzel just now made him shiver.

Without the Lasting Spring Cultivation, it was better for him to pass.

Chen Mobai had never imagined that when he finally called Wen Ren Xuewei, she would be the first to arrive.

Before Chai Lun and Zhou Tiangong arrived, Chen Mobai simply started discussing the Enlightenment White Tea with her.

Conveniently, Wen Ren Xuewei had brought tea leaves and tea equipment, and without any hesitation, she took out tables and chairs on top of Danxia Mountain and began her tea ceremony performance.

“Resources of the Immortal Gate are limited. Once, a Huashen Ancestor proposed implementing family planning to control the population.”

“But with this approach, should an interdimensional war break out, we might find ourselves at a disadvantage due to lack of manpower.”

“Thus, the ancestor suggested mobilizing the full strength of the Immortal Gate to create Puppet Dao soldiers that could be used indefinitely. Normally they would be sealed and stored away, and only activated and deployed during times of war.”

“However, ultimately due to immature technology, this proposal was shelved…”

While drinking tea with Chen Mobai, Wen Ren Xuewei told him a piece of history that he was unaware of.

This was about a high-level meeting in the Kaiyuan Hall, not recorded in official documents, and thus known only to a few.

At that time, the most outstanding Puppetry Technique was found in the Jumang Academy.

So, even though the proposal was shelved, influenced by the Huashen Ancestor, Jumang Academy still conducted research for over a hundred years.

Success in creating the Formless Puppets, many scholarly achievements, stemmed from this research.

“You mean…”

Chen Mobai understood why Wen Ren Xuewei was so eager to come over after hearing his idea about using the Formless Puppets to produce Five Elements Essence.

“Refining the Puppet Dao soldiers, categorizing them, and turning them into various war arrays was also a core proposal of that same ancestor,” continued Wen Ren Xuewei. She wouldn’t have shared this with anyone else, but as Chen Mobai, like her, was destined to lead one of the Four Great Daoist Sects in the future, he was entitled to know.

“If you really do complete this research, I suppose the Military Department will be looking for you.”

The direct commander in charge of the Military Department happened to be one of the Three Great Hall Masters of the Immortal Gate, the Righteous Law Hall Master. Coincidentally, he had already sent Lan Haitian to seek out Chen Mobai.

Backed by the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Chen Mobai may show respect for the Three Great Hall Masters, but he does not fear them!

“May I know which ancestor it was?”

If it were a proposal from the Huashen Ancestor, then Chen Mobai would have to consider it carefully.

Wen Ren Xuewei, however, chose to sip her tea and remain silent.

After waiting a while, Chen Mobai could only accept the cup of tea she offered and drank it in one gulp.

In the midst of this, a Spiritual Light of ice and snow flew up from the bottom of the mountain, and soon the tall figure of Yan Bingxuan appeared on the mountaintop.

She looked directly at the Qing Shan-clad maiden sitting in the place of honor at the tea table, her beauty unsurpassed.

As their gazes met, Wen Ren Xuewei smiled slightly and gestured an invitation.
