I Have A Cultivation World-Chapter 396 - 298: Lamp Becomes Spirit_1
Chapter 396: Chapter 298: Lamp Becomes Spirit_1
Chen Mobai, who originally should have returned to South Mountain, stayed in Divine Wood City for two more days because he accepted Luo Yixuan as his disciple.
One day, an elderly figure from the Luo family, who was at the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation, came to visit with the Luo siblings.
This elder was named Luo Yuanxian. He was a figure second only to the Foundation Establishment cultivators in Luo family. He presented a Rank-3 Camelweed and two thousand Spirit Stones as Luo Yixuan’s gifts to her teacher. Chen Mobai did not decline and accepted it without a second thought.
However, Luo Yuanxian, having lived for a long time with thick skin, proposed after Chen Mobai accepted the gifts that Luo Yixiu also be accepted under South Mountain.
The reason Luo Yuanxian mentioned made Chen Mobai couldn’t help but laugh.
He said that the two siblings had been very close since they were young. At first, it was Luo Yixiu who didn’t want to separate from his sister, so the family arranged for both of them to join the Divine Wood Sect.
Now that Luo Yixuan had the chance to be taken under the wing by Chen Mobai, why not fulfill the siblings’ affection and let them not part ways on the path of future cultivation.
Zhuo Ming who knew about the situation, barely maintained his composure.
“I myself am usually busy with my own cultivation, I’m struggling to teach three disciples already, I wouldn’t want to impede nephew Luo’s future.”
Although Chen Mobai did not directly reject the suggestion, Luo Yuanxian, an old and cunning man, immediately caught the refusal. All he could do was sigh and didn’t dare to bring it up again.
At this point, Luo Yixiu’s handsome face turned red. After being repeatedly insulted, he didn’t dare to argue back. He could only lower his head and keep his humiliation to himself.
Fortunately, Liu Wenbo had been healing his injuries in seclusion since the sect competition, not present today, otherwise Luo Yixiu might have felt even more awkward.
“What does the sect think of my second uncle?”
At last, Luo Yuanxian asked the matter he was most concerned about. Luo Shupin was his second uncle.
The reason for the current status of the Luo family, apart from the Foundation Establishment ancestor of the family, was Luo Shupin, the foundation establishment elder of the Divine Wood Sect. The latter was more important.
Without the Divine Wood Sect’s support, their Luo family would just be a regular Foundation Establishment family.
“The sect doesn’t have an official stance on this matter yet, and I shouldn’t comment too much. However, the Sect Leader and the two Hall Masters are all fair and just. As long as elder Luo has not betrayed the sect, they will certainly clear his name.”
A shortfall of eight thousand Spirit Stones is not a major issue. The Luo family could bear the loss with some gritted teeth.
The key problem was that when the sect found out about this matter and sent a letter to Luo Shupin for explanation, the latter sent back an ambiguous and confusing report. When the Sect Leader asked him to return for questioning, he agreed in writing, but he stayed put in the Lei Nation.
Therefore, he showed a lack of respect for the sect authority, ignoring the rules.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the Divine Wood Sect lost contact with Luo Shupin later, fearing that something strange was going on, the inspectors of the Penalty Evil Hall would have gone to the Luo family long ago.
Luo Yuanxian felt quite satisfied to get this response from Chen Mobai.
Before his visit, the clan head had already made up his mind. If Luo Shupin really had issues, then the Luo family would have to find ways to distance themselves from him.
In the end, Luo Yuanxian left with Luo Yixiu.
Of course, Luo Yixuan stayed behind.
After becoming a disciple, she was like a married daughter.
Although the Luo family was a little reluctant to let go of a relative with good looks and exceptional Spiritual Root Talent, linking up with the talented Foundation Establishment genius like Chen Mobai was ten times more beneficial to the family than marrying her off for an alliance.
This was precisely why the Luo family would give two thousand Spirit Stones as a gift to Chen Mobai, after the Rank-3 medicinal herb.
“Xuan, you can take these Spirit Stones.”
After Chen Mobai stowed the Camelweed inside his sleeve, he pointed to another storage bag. Naturally, Luo Yixuan declined, saying that this was the family’s gift to the teacher, how could she take it.
“Take it. Your master is content with the herb. Consider this set of talismans a welcome gift from me.”
As he spoke, Chen Mobai waved his hand at the table, and three Crimson Flame Sword Talismans landed neatly in Luo Yixuan’s sight. She initially thought they were all the same type of talisman, but upon receiving them she discovered the difference.
They were in fact a set of first, second, and third order talismans.
This set of talismans totalled over a hundred Spirit Stones. Luo Yixuan’s most prized possessions were only two Rank-2 talismans equivalent to the third order talismans.
“Thank you, Master.”
“Now that your affairs are sorted out, if you don’t want any connections with the Luo family in the future, just follow me back to South Mountain and focus on your cultivation. As long as your master is around, they dare not mess around.”
Once Chen Mobai had said this, Luo Yixuan’s eyes turned slightly red and she sobbed quietly. However, she quickly bowed and spoke in a previously unheard crisp voice.
“I will follow Master’s arrangement.”
Before leaving Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai first went to report to Chu Zuoshu, his direct superior, and got permission. Then he took Luo Yixuan to see familiar faces Yue Zutao, Yan Jinye and even Zeng Woyou. They generously gave talismans or elixirs as gifts.
“Xuan, your master believes that you are more competent than your senior sister in social interactions. In the future, you may need to socialize more with these few friends of your master.”
The disciple and master were standing on the “Red Misty Cloud Silk”, flying to South Mountain, and Chen Mobai’s words surprised Luo Yixuan a little.
