I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2434 - 1087_2
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Chen Mobai spoke these words with a grin, prompting the gathered Nascent Soul Cultivators to exchange amused smiles.
In the Tianhe Realm, cultivators rarely emphasize birthday gatherings, particularly for Divinity Transformation experts. Lavish events typically happen only after crossing the thousand-year mark.
Indeed, those at Divinity Transformation often endure retreats spanning decades, overlooking countless such occasions in the process.
"Master, this is my Rank-4 Five-Colored Spiritual Wine. Please try it!"
With nearly everyone settled, Zhuo Ming revealed her present.
Her right hand steadied a hefty jar as she offered it to Chen Mobai.
"Does it use Five-Colored Rice as the base? The scent is so potent..."
As a bit of a connoisseur in spiritual wines, Chen Mobai recalled Zhuo Ming's passion for winemaking, and how the Five Elements Sect's plentiful Spirit Rice lent each brew its distinct flair.
When the wine flowed into the cup, Chen Mobai watched the translucent liquid gleam with five hues beneath the sun's rays, and he couldn't resist sampling it. The bold, hearty taste mingled with the shifting depth of blended Five Element Spiritual Energy, leaving him lightly buzzed.
"The flavor of this wine shifts based on the serving temperature and the attribute-specific cultivation methods. Take Fire Attribute cultivators, for instance—they'll enjoy it best after simmering for the length of two tea brews; while Metal and Water types prefer it cooled..."
Qing Nu, standing nearby, grinned as she assisted Zhuo Ming in explaining. This brew had benefited from her input during development, along with repeated tastings and feedback from Sky Meal Building's pair of Nascent Soul Cultivators, leading to its current refined form.
"Excellent, excellent, I have to sample it properly!"
Qing Nu's description sparked Chen Mobai's curiosity.
Once Zhuo Ming had filled cups for Zhou Shengqing and the rest of the Nascent Soul Cultivators, she set about heating the wine without delay.
At that instant, two unknown Nascent Soul auras emerged inside Sky Meal Building, immediately drawing Chen Mobai's focus.
Before long, Ren Qiu escorted a man and a woman into the room.
They appeared somewhat rotund, with rounded features and protruding stomachs, yet Chen Mobai detected the formidable True Qi surging inside them.
Clearly, these were Sky Meal Building's duo of Nascent Soul Cultivators, Cannon Dragon and Phoenix Cook!
"Greetings, Sect Master Chen. Trouble in East Land delayed us. We ask your pardon!"
As they stepped in, the male cultivator bowed his hands toward Chen Mobai, his expression brimming with regret.
"No issue at all. I've long desired to encounter you both. Come, have a seat!"
To honor Cannon Dragon and Phoenix Cook, Chen Mobai rose himself to welcome them to their places.
The pair shared a quick look, accepted graciously, and settled into the available chairs.
Now, the Nascent Soul gathering was fully assembled.
Precisely then, Zhuo Ming completed preparing the Five-Colored Spiritual Wine and distributed a cup to every cultivator present.
"To you two, I raise this cup. In the Five Elements Sect's vulnerable days, your Sky Meal Building's support proved invaluable to us..."
Chen Mobai lifted his wine cup in tribute to Cannon Dragon and Phoenix Cook.
Even if such aid from Sky Meal Building amounted to standard intelligence dealings, it had been vital for the Five Elements Sect—think of Bing Yun Master's initial arrival or the intel on the Three Great Eastern Barbarians' conflicts, among others.
"Sect Master Chen flatters us too much..."
Cannon Dragon and Phoenix Cook rose promptly, draining their cups in response.
"You two appear burdened by concerns?"
As they finished, Chen Mobai savored the deeper, more lingering essence of the brewed Five-Colored Spiritual Wine, while probing directly.
From the moment Cannon Dragon and Phoenix Cook arrived, he'd picked up on their troubled vibes, their smiles seeming strained.
Was it possible his recent Divinity Transformation had upset them?
"I never thought Sect Master Chen would spot it so quickly. Here's the situation: my junior sister and I just got word via a hidden method from East Land's main base. Nine Heavens Morality Sect’s Sect Master Ni Yuanzhong, fresh from surviving the Deity Transformation Tribulation, faced an ambush by Demon Dao Deity Transcendentals and Rank-5 Flood Dragons. Reports claim multiple peaks around Tongtian Peak have crumbled..."
Cannon Dragon held nothing back, voicing the fresh intelligence with evident concern.
Crack!
Upon absorbing the report, Chen Mobai's face remained impassive as he shattered the wine cup in his grip to dust.
All eyes shifted to him at once.
"Master, the wine is chilled!"
Right then, Zhuo Ming approached with a fresh glass.
"I'll save it for later. I need to head to East Land and toast properly when I get back!"
With those words, Chen Mobai transformed into a streak of silver light and disappeared from view.
"This..."
Cannon Dragon and Phoenix Cook stood dumbfounded at the sight.
They'd heard tales of Five Elements Sect’s Sect Master Chen Guixian's profound loyalty and upright character, but hadn't imagined it ran this deep.
Having just attained Divinity Transformation, he dashed off to aid Nine Heavens Morality Sect the instant he learned of their siege.
"Assaulting Tongtian Peak are three God-Transcending cultivators, including one rumored to be the Tianhe Realm's premier Demon Path powerhouse, White Bone Demon King. Those two Flood Dragons carry the True Spirit Bloodline from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court as well. Sect Master Chen acts too rashly!"
Snapping out of it, Cannon Dragon and Phoenix Cook experienced a wave of remorse.
If they'd realized Chen Mobai's such noble and forthright nature, they would've detailed the peril more fully beforehand.
