Chapter 2366: Chapter 1068:

“Heavenly Spirit Pill?”

Chen Mobai was slightly startled upon hearing this.

It was known that previously, when he and Xuande discussed the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, he had heard them mention a similar pill, the hallmark of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect in Central State.

“Do you have a Heavenly Spirit Pill on you?”

Chen Mobai squinted his eyes and looked curiously at the youth with gray-white hair and deep blue pupils before him.

In the Tianhe Realm, all cultivators were well aware of the principle of not revealing one’s wealth.

The person before him mentioning this to Chen Mobai seemed a bit like fishing for information.

“This is the Heavenly Spirit Pill. Once Sect Master Chen transfers the contract of the Yellow Dragon to me, it will be yours.”

Su Taifeng spoke as he took out a white jade vial from his storage bag and placed it on the table beside him, smiling and pointing at the young Yellow Dragon girl.

“May I inspect the goods?”

Chen Mobai was certainly reluctant to trade, but he still wanted to see the Heavenly Spirit Pill.

“Naturally not.”

Su Taifeng shook his head directly.

In the Tianhe Realm, those cultivating to the Nascent Soul Realm, no matter how proud their demeanor, would not be reckless over resources like the Heavenly Spirit Pill.

Between him and Chen Mobai, there was no basis for trust. Although he indeed had the Heavenly Spirit Pill, it wasn’t inside this white jade vial.

The vial was empty.

If Chen Mobai were to agree, Su Taifeng was willing to trade and could later find a way to retrieve the manipulated Heavenly Spirit Pill.

But without acquiring the Yellow Dragon contract, Su Taifeng certainly wouldn’t give the elixir to Chen Mobai.

“It seems, Fellow Daoist lacks sincerity. In the elixir business, one always needs certified alchemists to authenticate before a deal happens. By flatly refusing, I can only suspect you don’t have a Heavenly Spirit Pill and merely aim to deceive me out of my Yellow Dragon.”

With those words, Su Taifeng’s smile faded, ceasing to pretend.

The trick he played on the elixir might deceive Chen Mobai, but if the latter took it to Dao Morale Sect for authentication, it would surely be exposed.

“It appears Sect Master Chen isn’t interested.”

After hearing Su Taifeng’s words, Chen Mobai dropped the act, shaking his head straightaway.

“Fellow Daoist guessed correctly; I am indeed not interested. Not even a Heavenly Spirit Pill, nor if you were to place its alchemy recipe in front of me. In my view, they’re no match for my Yellow Dragon’s single scale.”

Upon hearing these words, the young Yellow Dragon girl’s expression changed, with various complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

At that moment, in her mind, Chen Mobai’s silhouette began to merge with the image of her father who vanished when she was young.

“Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to discuss. I urge Sect Master Chen to be cautious.”

Su Taifeng sneered, uttering this line, greedily casting a final glance at the young Yellow Dragon girl, then rose and left the box.

“Sect Master Chen, think it over again. If I were you, I surely wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.”

Mu Youyi advised earnestly as he departed.

Once the three from Beast Commanding Sect were gone, Chen Mobai chuckled, moved to the window, peering downward just as Su Taifeng stepped out.

When his gaze descended, it was apparent that Su Taifeng sensed it and turned to look up.

Chen Mobai’s pupils met his eerie deep blue ones, and for a fleeting moment, a vast and intangible divine sense engaged in contact.

Yet to avoid exposing his true strength, Chen Mobai’s divine sense briefly connected and then withdrew, using his lifespan artifact, Morning Bell, to shield against the mighty divine sense Su Taifeng sent forth from reaching his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.

Watching Chen Mobai vanish from the window, Su Taifeng snorted coldly, pulling back his divine sense.

“Quite skilled.”

Su Taifeng initially thought his nearly Spirit Transformation Stage strong divine sense could easily crush Chen Mobai, making him aware of their power disparity, leaving him awed.

Since this pioneering affair was overseen by Dao Morale Sect, Su Taifeng didn’t want to push things to the extreme unless absolutely necessary.

If Chen Mobai recognized the difficulties and agreed to the trade, that would be the best outcome.

“After all, this person inherited the legacy of the Ascended Monk Yi Yuan True Monarch, and is reputedly also the Saint Heir of the Ancient Longevity Sect, exceptionally gifted. Facing off with you, dear Daoist Child, is within reason.”

Mu Youyi chimed in. Though Chen Mobai showed few battle accolades post Nascent Soul Formation, Mu Youyi personally witnessed him clashing with Earth Virtue using Yi Yuan Dao Body in the Nine Heavens Immortal City.

Acknowledging strength beyond his own.

“I’m merely curious how his divine sense is so powerful…”

Before arriving, Su Taifeng had already reviewed Chen Mobai’s dossier, knowing him to be an unparalleled Sword Cultivation Genius, undefeated in magic duels since debut.

Despite formidable magic dueling abilities, divine sense correlates with realm, logically preventing Chen Mobai from blocking his secretly cultivated Art of Divine Consciousness.

Recalling his own divine sense seemingly striking a copper wall earlier, Su Taifeng speculated Chen Mobai likely possessed an artifact guarding the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.

“Regardless, he is but a Nascent Soul cultivator. Against the methods of the Fifth Rank True Spirit, he would turn to ash.”

Mu Youyi was brimming with confidence.

The cultivation technique of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect harnesses true spirit techniques within the human body.

Although Su Taifeng was a Nascent Soul cultivator, back in Central State, he maneuvered a protective Fifth Rank True Spirit, escaping the hands of the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Though the Civet Power accompanying this time was not the true spirit contracted with Su Taifeng from the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, it could execute Fifth Rank techniques alike.

No matter how formidable Chen Mobai was, even with a Fifth Rank Artifact at his side, escape from death was slim.

“The opportunity has been provided him, I originally had no wish to create carnage in East Continent.”

Once more raising his gaze to Chen Mobai’s vanished window, Su Taifeng voiced this, subsequently departing with Mu Youyi and Ao Shizheng.

…

“Ancestor, please have some tea!”

In the private room at Qianyuan Building, Han Zhiling handed the freshly brewed tea to Chen Mobai, who smiled as he took it.

In the instant of divine sense duel with Su Taifeng earlier, Chen Mobai ascended into the realm of Tongtian Zhi and Yingdi Ling, complemented by the Echoes in the Void, already glimpsing the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses.

He was among the most elite level he had encountered among Nascent Soul cultivators.

A peculiar Fifth Rank True Strength filled Su Taifeng’s body, somewhat inhuman, more like a demonic beast donning human skin.

But Chen Mobai was certain; he wasn’t in the spirit transformation stage.

Merely a Fifth Rank Forged Body, Fifth Rank True Strength, with divine sense near Fifth Rank as a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Comparable to Master Chengxuan in tier.

Though truly in magic dueling, Master Chengxuan would surely falter.

Chen Mobai now pondered, if in the future he were to engage Su Wuming in a magic duel, should he directly use the Second Primeval Spirit to slay him, or feign having barely managed to defeat using Thousand Swords Dharma Body.

After much contemplation, Chen Mobai thought it best to feign barely slaying Su Wuming, perhaps even feigning a heavy injury after the battle, potentially luring others hostile to the Five Elements Sect from the outside Beast Commanding Sect.

This pioneering venture, with Burning Heaven Meridians to his left and Yi Yuan Dao Palace to his right.

Uncertain who would act first.

While Chen Mobai mulled over whether his Second Primeval Spirit could strike a few worthy adversaries during the pioneering trip, flames flickered in the most remote East Li Domain of the Six Regions of Eastern Continent.

“When the brat Dustless fights that Golden Flame Manticore, start from here, clearing all righteous paths from East Li. This territory occupied for so long must be met with a blood price.”

The tall devil cultivator pointed to Huangquan Mountain, seized by the Nine Heavens Morality Sect at the heart of East Li. Originally the main camp of Tongyou Demon Sect, it was claimed by the righteous path upon Ming Zun’s defeat, and naturally, its Fifth Rank Spirit Vein was seized.

“Yes, Demon King!”

Kuang Jiyuan from Xuanji Demon Sect nodded respectfully.

Before them stood the demon cultivator, Northern Demon Path lord, the White Bone Demon King, whose true body was severed by Yuan Qingque, yet still concealed a white bone relic within a Flying Night Fiend.
