Chen Mobai stood atop a mountain peak, shrouded by cloud and mist, looking at the Spirit Vein Level displayed on his phone screen and subtly nodded.

Even though Xiao Nanshan was considered to be on the verge of falling from Rank-3 intermediate grade, it still had quite a bit of leeway. Aside from the main peak where he was, there were five shorter peaks nearby.

Standing on the mountaintop, looking down.

A winding path stretched from the base of the mountain all the way up here. Perhaps it hadn’t been maintained for a long time; the entire mountain was filled with rain-eroded, slightly rounded rubble.

However, there were resilient Red Sun Trees growing amongst the stones. Chen Mobai also spotted some wild weeds haphazardly growing in the cracks of the stones, and even saw two bright red flowers.

Going over for a closer look, he found that they were a type of Spirit Grass called Gold Lamp Flower. Consuming it could supplement Elemental Energy and treat venomous bites and stings.

“Uncle Chen.”

At this moment, two people were walking up from the path at the foot of the mountain.

A man and woman, specifically Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming, who had joined the Divine Wood Sect from Yun Country’s Southstream Market with Chen Mobai.

“Hmm, you’ve worked hard.”

Not only had Liu Wenbo come himself, but he had also brought over many mortals. These were all workers hired by Chen Mobai to re-cultivate the sixty-acre Spirit Field around Xiao Nanshan.

“Uncle Chen, the Yubud Lingmi at Small Yang Ridge will take some time before they can be harvested. I’ve instructed Wang Junior Brother and Feng Junior Brother to keep a constant eye on rainfall and pest control. I will also go and check from time to time.”

Zhuo Ming spoke with an excited look on her face as she regarded Xiao Nanshan.

Even though the mountain wasn’t high, the abundant Spiritual Energy was definitely palpable. She increasingly believed that siding with Chen Mobai was the most correct decision she had made in her life.

She knew that she should have pledged herself back at the South Creek Market. Maybe by now, she would already be a direct disciple.

“Uncle Chen, you’ve just established your foundation. There’s a lot of space up here in Xiao Nanshan with few people. You need a disciple to manage these odds and ends. I wonder if I could have the honor of becoming your apprentice.”

While Zhuo Ming hesitated on how to broach the topic, Liu Wenbo, who was more experienced, boldly asked to become an apprentice.

“Well…”

This was the first time Chen Mobai had encountered such audacity, and he was slightly at a loss.

He was still a student himself and hadn’t even graduated. The idea of taking on an apprentice seemed premature given his lack of experience and ability.

However, he also thought about the fact that the master-disciple relationship in the Tianhe Realm differed from that within the Immortal Sect. Here, besides imparting skills and knowledge, it was more of a traditional, supportive relationship.

Liu Wenbo also had a point – managing the sixty-acre Spirit Field by himself in the future would indeed be quite challenging, so cultivating some capable disciples was necessary.

But compared to Liu Wenbo, Chen Mobai felt Zhuo Ming would be more suitable.

After all, following the previous Sect-wide competition, she came to Small Yang Ridge with him. Her professional knowledge had already been thoroughly taught by Chen Mobai. Over the past half a year, she had become quite adept at growing Yubud Lingmi.

However, since Zhuo Ming didn’t take the initiative to ask, Chen Mobai wasn’t willing to invite her.

“You’re currently working under Senior Brother E Yun. If I were to accept you as a disciple, I should at least give him a heads up.”

“This is actually Senior Brother E Yun’s suggestion. He says that someone as talented as yourself should concentrate on cultivation, and your disciples can handle the trifling matters.”

After hearing these words, Liu Wenbo knew that Chen Mobai had agreed and delight filled his face as he bowed in submission.

“Uncle Chen, why don’t you accept me too?”

Upon seeing this, Zhuo Ming’s face blushed in urgency. If she had known it was so easy, she would have asked to become his disciple after the sect competition half a year ago.

“It doesn’t matter, whether I accept one or two students. Consider yourselves provisional disciples for now. When I return from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, the Jade Bud Spirit Wine I brewed last year should also be ready. At that time, I’ll invite Senior Brother Qi and other friends to come. Then you can officially become my disciples.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai decided to just go with the flow.

“We pay respects to our Master!”

Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming immediately bowed in unison, thus establishing their master-disciple relationship.

“These two Crimson Flame Sword Talismans can serve as your welcome gifts.”

Chen Mobai handed out two talismans he had drawn himself. Both disciples accepted them with delight, contemplating what they should prepare as gifts for their official discipleship ceremony.

“Let’s take this opportunity to discuss any doubts you have about your cultivation. Although I haven’t cultivated for much longer than you, I do have some unique insights on the Scripture of Eternal Life.”

These words were humble.

Within the entire Divine Wood Sect, among those of equal level, Chen Mobai had the deepest understanding of the Scripture of Eternal Life.

After all, with deductions from the puppet and the effect of the Soul Awakening Dao Pill, his understanding of this cultivation technique at the Qi Cultivation stage was almost on par with the sages who created it.

“Yes, Master.”

Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming spoke in unison, then glanced at each other, realizing they hadn’t yet determined who was the senior or junior among them.

“Wenbo, you go first. From now on, you’ll be the eldest brother.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming made a mortified face. The opportunity to be the elder sister had just slipped from her hands.

“Master, I’m simultaneously practicing the Scripture of Eternal Life and Flame Sword Charm. The former is already at Qi Cultivation Level 8, but the latter is stuck at Qi Cultivation Level 6. This is why I can’t master the Dual-phase Rotation..”
