I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 635: Chapter 404: Dragon-Horse Aspect, Eight Trigrams Fairy Thunder_1

“A Rank-2 Spiritual Tea must be something good.”

After taking a sip, Meng Huang’s eyes lit up and she took another sip.

Although she was a big celebrity, such a thing couldn’t be bought with money in the Immortal Gate. Only Cultivators who had achieved Foundation Establishment had the qualifications to buy it.

“If senior sister likes it, I have quite a lot here. I’ll pack a box for you later.”

Chen Mobai took a sip himself, feeling it was just so-so.

After the ambush at the White Moon Market, the Bai family offered Chen Mobai many Rank-1 and Rank-2 tea trees as an apology.

...
Zhuo Ming planted these tea trees on the hillside of Xiao Nanshan. When they matured in autumn, Chen Mobai tasted some and kept some of the Rank-2 ones. He gave the rest to his three disciples.

What they were drinking now was this Rank-2 Spiritual Tea.

Also, Chen Mobai grafted and transplanted “Snow Needle Immortal Bud” using the root stem of the Large Tung Flower. Unfortunately, due to his average level of Spirit Plant skill, plus the possible incompatibility between Everlife Wood and the Large Tung Flower root stem, the Rank-3 tea branch that survived the grafting process had dropped to Rank-1 level.

Even though Chen Mobai could only regret this, he still planted this tea seedling that survived the grafting on the top of Xiao Nanshan, irrigating it from time to time with the life energy of Yi Wood Divine Thunder. Perhaps in due course, it could be promoted to Rank-3!

“Thank you.”

Meng Huang lowered her head and said softly. If not for Chen Mobai’s sharp hearing, he might not have heard her.

Afterward, there was an awkward silence between the two of them.

Indeed, they had been out of touch for so long that they were now practically strangers.

“Ahem, I heard that senior sister is planning to open a Device Nurturing Sphere. Did you bring your stuff? My Art of Spiritual Eyes is quite handy for telling what’s inside.”

“I have five Device Nurturing Spheres, but they’re all kept at home.”

Meng Huang didn’t have a storage bag or anything like that. As a young lady, carrying a sack wasn’t really suitable for her.

“Oh, senior sister, have you already bought them? What are your requirements for the Magic Artifact you want to open? Let me know.”

Ever since Chen Mobai’s discerning sight, people at the Dance Tool Dao Academy who wanted to open the Device Nurturing Sphere would go to him for confirmation of the true nature of the magic artifact inside before they decided to offer their Good Deed Points.

However, Meng Huang, as a well-known superstar in the Immortal Gate, surely had plenty of Good Deed Points. She didn’t need to be as calculating as others.

“A musical type of Magic Artifact would be the best, such as guqin, guzheng, pipa, etc. I am proficient in all of them. The only strict requirement is that the Magic Artifact can only be Rank-2 lower-grade.”

Having heard what Meng Huang said, Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback.

More than ninety-five percent of the Magic Artifacts in the Treasure Trove are ranked as Rank-2, and Rank-2 lower-grade is indeed the lowest level. Many students from the Dance Tool Dao Academy who asked Chen Mobai to help identify their items also requested that the item at least not be Rank-2 lower-grade.

They could bear with Rank-2 intermediate grade, though they would be joyfully surprised if it was a Rank-2 higher grade or top-tier artifact.

As for Rank-3, in all these years of Chen Mobai’s identification work, he had never come across one.

Most Rank-3 magic artifacts required a strong nurturing of spiritual energy to prevent them from falling in rank. So, most of them were under Duanmu Longrong’s control. Only when they encountered top talents like Chen Mobai or Zuo Qiushi would the Daoist Academy consider giving one of them out.

The fact that Meng Huang specifically asked for a Rank-2 lower-grade artifact was a first for Chen Mobai.

“No problem, senior sister, why don’t you go back first? I have some things to do here. I’ll visit you later when I get home.”

As a qualified seer, Chen Mobai had no objections to his client’s requirements.

But compared to this matter, he was more worried about Zhongli Tianyu, his successor. If this guy ran away, wouldn’t he have to work tirelessly again at the Daoist Academy for the next two years?

After hearing this, Meng Huang took a deep breath but still nodded with a smile on her face. She gently put down the teacup in her hand.

“I’ll wait for you at home in the evening.”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai stood up to see her off.

This made Meng Huang, who originally wanted to make a bit more small talk, couldn’t help but clench her small fists under the table, but considering her situation, she still managed to smile graciously.

After personally sending Meng Huang downstairs, Chen Mobai called Zhuang Jialan to take over.

“President, since you’re going to look for Zhongli Tianyu anyway, and senior sister Meng hasn’t achieved Foundation Establishment, she needs a Flying Talisman to leave. Why don’t you give her a lift out of the Treasure Trove?”

After Zhuang Jialan came over and learned the situation, she suddenly leaned over to Chen Mobai’s side and whispered something that surprised him a bit.

[What, she hasn’t achieved Foundation Establishment yet? How did she get into the Treasure Trove then?]

Chen Mobai, being a person of some emotional intelligence, hadn’t said out loud what he was wondering. However, at this point, he started to tie together Meng Huang’s requirement for a Rank-2 lower-grade artifact and her lack of Foundation Establishment.

“Senior sister Meng, I just remembered that I also need to go out. How about I escort you part of the way?”

Upon hearing this, Meng Huang gently nodded her head.

Riding on the “Red Misty Cloud Silk,” Chen Mobai took her away from the Treasure Trove.

Along the way, they both remained silent, seemingly not knowing how to start a conversation.

“Thank you.”

At the entrance of the cave behind the Treasure Trove, after Meng Huang gently landed on the ground, she smiled and waved at Chen Mobai.

“See you tonight then.”

After uttering this sentence, Chen Mobai, watching the departing figure of Meng Huang, once again entered the Treasure Trove.
