Chapter 175: Chopping Logs Sword Technique_l

Translator: 549690339

Over two thousand Red Sun Wood logs piled up at the entrance were immediately attracting the attention of all the disciples at Bud Hall. 𝔣𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖜𝔢𝔟𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖊𝔩.𝖈𝖔𝔪

Chen Mobai saw Zhuo Ming, Yu Lian, and the siblings from the Luo family all emerging from their rooms, all watching the scene in disbelief.

Yuan Chiye was also a little surprised.

Even if he did it himself, he couldn’t chop so many logs in one night.

This kind of speed and efficiency, perhaps only elder cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, who have specifically practiced a log-chopping spell, could achieve.

Were these purchased with Spirit Stones from the sect’s Fang Market?

But right away, Yuan Chiye shook his head. Why should he bother with these things? All he needed was to collect enough Red Sun Wood logs.

After confirming that the quantity was correct, Yuan Chiye immediately approved Chen Mobai’s request for another closed-door cultivation session.

“Junior Brother Chen, can you introduce us to your method?”

Just when Chen Mobai was about to disappear into his room, he was suddenly stopped by the Luo siblings. Luo Yixiu asked seriously.

“What method?”

Chen Mobai was utterly confused.

“If Junior Brother Chen doesn’t want to share, then forget it.”

Frowning slightly, Luo Yixiu expressed his dissatisfaction with Chen Mobai’s pretentious behaviour.

This aristocratic child is so annoying!

Just as Chen Mobai was about to turn around and leave, Liu Wenbo suddenly walked over with a few people.

“Senior Brother Luo, don’t you have your own channel for buying Red Sun Wood logs? Why are you asking Brother Chen?”

“What do you mean by this?”

Luo Yixiu’s face darkened slightly when he heard Liu Wenbo’s words.

“Senior Brother Luo, there are some things we don’t need to make too explicit, so as not to put Senior Brother Yuan in a difficult position.”

Liu Wenbo spoke calmly, while Yuan Chiye approved with a look.

“Very well!”

Although Luo Yixiu also believed that he could become a True Disciple in the future, he was still just a newcomer and didn’t dare to be too presumptuous in front of Yuan Chiye.

After the Luo siblings left, Zhuo Ming and the others, who had been watching from the sidelines, also came over and expressed their solidarity with Chen Mobai and Liu Wenbo.

Chen Mobai never expected them to do so, but his affection for Liu Wenbo greatly increased.

“Can we buy our own Red Sun Wood logs to meet the quota?”

As an expression of gratitude, Chen Mobai asked as he invited Liu Wenbo in for tea. Zhuo Ming and the others also thickened their faces and followed.

“Yes, the Luo siblings and I have bought logs from the sect’s Fang Market before for Senior Brother Yuan…”

Liu Wenbo didn’t hide anything and admitted with a nod.

“At what price?”

Zhuo Ming couldn’t help asking. Recently, she switched to practicing the Longevity Scripture and her realm hadn’t recovered yet. The efficiency of her wood-cutting wasn’t ideal, and she was behind by several hundred logs.

“One lower-grade Spirit Stone for 500 logs.”

After hearing this, Zhuo Ming looked pained.

She decided to work harder herself, getting up early and going to bed late to chop wood.

She silently cursed the wealthy disciples for their abundance of Spirit Stones— they couldn’t even be bothered to chop wood and used Spirit Stones to buy it.

“Brother Chen, when we go to the Fang Market to buy Red Sun Wood logs, we can only buy enough for two days. How did you manage to buy so many at once?”

Liu Wenbo couldn’t resist his curiosity and asked Chen Mobai.

[These were chopped by me!]

But if he said this, no one would believe it. To prove it, he might have to reveal the mechanical magical tools from Earth-source Star, such as the chainsaw.

Chen Mobai could only pretend to look mysterious.

“I have my sources, but I can’t share them with you.”

“In that case, could Senior Brother help me to buy some? I don’t want too much – a week’s quota will do.”

During their discussion, Liu Wenbo put 5 Spirit Stones on the table.

Chen Mobai fell silent.

In other words, if he helped chop wood for a night, he could get 5 Spirit Stones.

Five stones overnight! The pay seemed pretty good!

But Chen Mobai quickly came back to his senses. He didn’t immediately agree, but he didn’t refuse either. After all, Liu Wenbo had given him a hand-copied scripture on longevity, a favor he remembered.

“1 will contact the seller for you, but whether it’ll work out, depends on their preference. But I will try my best for you.”

Chen Mobai’s words were watertight, as if he really did have a seller who could provide him with Red Sun Wood logs.

“In that case, I am grateful for Senior Brother Chen’s help.”

Chen Mobai humbly accepted this and returned the 5 Spirit Stones on the table to Liu Wenbo. Then he left the room, as if he was really going to do business.

“You follow him, and see who he is in contact with.”

As Chen Mobai left, Luo Yixiu instructed one of his junior disciples.

“He is in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, if you follow him, you’ll likely be found out.”

Luo Yixuan stopped the junior disciple who was about to leave and took out an invisibility talisman from her storage bag.

“Take this.”

“Yes.”

Chen Mobai wandered around the woods and quietly activated a Rank-1 Spirit Seeking Talisman. This talisman was specifically used by the immortals to locate living creatures and could not be outsmarted by invisibility.

He promptly spotted three people lurking in the vicinity.

Though uncertain if all three were tailing him, he acted as if they were.

After leading them around for half an hour, Chen Mobai returned to Bud Hall, apologetically shaking his head at Liu Wenbo.

He informed that he had bought up all the stock of Red Sun Wood from the seller, meaning there wouldn’t be any available for the time being.

Despite his disappointment, Liu Wenbo graciously expressed gratitude.

“What, you didn’t see who he contacted?”

Luo Yixiu widened his eyes in surprise upon hearing the report of the person in front of him.

“Alright, you can leave.”

Luo Yixuan waved dismissively, signalling him to leave. Once they were alone, Luo Yixiu dropped his pretense and let his feelings show.

“These useless Loose Cultivators. If only we could bring the family-born disciples from our clan instead of accommodating them.”

“After all, everyone who enters the Divine Wood Sect aspires to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. How could they be like those family-born disciples who willingly serve us?”

Luo Yixuan had a resigned expression on her face.

“Where did this Chen Guixian get so much Red Sun Wood? Didn’t that person say that the most they could lose at the Earth Fire Hall was around a thousand logs per day?”

Earth Fire Hall!

The place in the Divine Wood Sect specialized for Alchemy and Artifact Refining. All the Red Sun Wood gathered by these new disciples every day was sent there by Yuan Chiye.

The consumption of Red Sun Wood fluctuated during the process of Alchemy and Artifact Refining, which led to some shortage. Some Red Sun Wood, which on paper should have been burned during refining, found its way back into the sect’s Fang Market through inside channels.

Some cultivators interested in Alchemy and Artifact Refining would buy some.

But Luo Yixiu, knowing this in advance through the elders of their Liu family in the Divine Wood Sect, would spend Spirit Stones to buy this surplus Red Sun Wood, leaving more time for himself and his sister to cultivate.

“That is a minor issue. The key is, how did Liu Wenbo find out about it?”

“After all, he is from the Liu family. It’s normal for him to have some channels.”

While the Luo siblings were discussing this, Liu Wenbo also shared his unintentional discovery.

“You said, on the Red Sun Wood given to Brother Yuan by the Luo siblings that day, there were marks you made while chopping logs?”

“Exactly. It was from that moment I found out that Brother Yuan was also in the know. After that, I privately made connections. Only, the brother who liaises with me from Earth Fire Hall mentioned that the daily amount they can acquire is limited.”

Listening to this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but marvel.

It seemed that even the celestial sector couldn’t prevent greed and corruption, let alone the Divine Wood Sect.

“By the way, Elder Brother Chen, which of the three halls and twelve departments are you planning to go to after you finish chopping wood?”

Liu Wenbo suddenly posed a question.

“I’ll be tilling Spirit Fields.”

However, all were surprised by Chen Mobai’s answer given without any hesitation. None of them knew that Chen Mobai, after blending into the Divine Wood Sect, only had one goal left; to obtain the Foundation Building Pill. He now only hoped to avoid any distractions.

“I really admire Elder Brother Chen’s indifference. Unfortunately, I am burdened by my familial commitments. I need to struggle and make my way in the halls of the sect to pave the way for those who will come in the future.”

Liu Wenbo gave a bitter smile. After bidding Chen Mobai farewell, he left.

When night fell,

Chen Mobai once again quietly left Bud Hall, but just as he was preparing to go to the Red Sun Forest to chop logs, he found someone trailing him.

Frowning, he took a roundabout route and returned.

About fifteen minutes later, Chen Mobai saw Yu Lian enter from outside. After some hesitation, he walked straight towards him.

“If you have extra Red Sun Wood, I’m willing to buy it at twice the market price.”

After saying these words, Yu Lian turned around and went back into his room.

Turns out, chopping logs seems rather profitable in terms of Spirit Stones.

Chen Mobai discovered that his investment of over eight hundred Good Deed Points might generate a profit of tens of times more.

He went out again, but this time, thankfully, there was no one following him.

The Giant Tree Ridge was vast and scarcely populated. Although it lacked other resources, it was rich in an abundance of trees. So many trees that every year, the Divine Wood Sect would organize a mission to cut various Spirits Woods, which were then used for building Spirit Fields.

Red Sun Trees were the most numerous and fast-growing among them.

Yuan Chiye didn’t restrict where the new disciples should chop. As long as they contributed enough quantities, it was acceptable.

Previously, Chen Mobai chose the location closest to Bud Hall, but now, to divert attention, he had to go a bit further.

His chosen wood-chopping location was almost double the distance where Zhuo Ming and others usually frequented, simply to avoid detection by familiar faces.

However, this made transportation inconvenient.

But Chen Mobai had already thought of a solution.

With the incentive of earning Spirit Stones, he was more motivated to operate the chainsaw.

For two whole days and nights, he tirelessly worked, and wood chips flew around.

That evening,

Liu Wenbo received a sound-transmitting talisman and a Guidance Talisman from Chen Mobai. Accompanied by a few disciples, he rushed over. Seeing the piled up like mountains and countable to tens of thousands of Red Sun Wood, he could not help but gasp.

“During my logging in these woods, I happened to encounter a senior practicing his sword technique with Red Sun Wood…”

Chen Mobai made up a very reasonable explanation.

After listening to this, Liu Wenbo looked at the neatly cut stump nearby and then at each ultra-standard log – seemingly measured by a ruler before being cut. He immediately believed in Chen Mobai’s words.

The sword technique of this wood-chopping senior is truly amazing..
