Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 985 Panfeng Forest

Xing Wen paused, as if remembering something, and turned his gaze to Elder Ren Fei, who was standing to the side.

Ren Fei performed a sect salute and said in a solemn tone, "I was just about to report to the sect about the planting of Azure Dew Rice. The destruction of the Dewdrop Merchant Guild headquarters caused a slight delay."

Xing Wen smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "The Dewdrop Merchant Guild is already in the past. All the members of my Lingxiao Divine Sect have returned. Even if something else happens, it has nothing to do with my Lingxiao Divine Sect. This time, Grandmaster Guang Chang came to my Lingxiao Divine Sect to teach the planting of Azure Dew Rice out of a sense of obligation. The disciples of my Lingxiao Divine Sect who participated in the Azure Dew Rice planting learning should have achieved excellent results, right?"

Speaking of this, Xing Wen felt quite pleased. Grandmaster Guang Chang owed him a favor, so he had no choice but to come to the Lingxiao Divine Sect to teach the planting of Azure Dew Rice. It should be known that Grandmaster Guang Chang was in high demand at this time.

Ren Fei quickly replied, "The results of this assessment are indeed good. Two people have cultivated high-grade Azure Dew Rice, one person has cultivated medium-grade Azure Dew Rice, and the rest are all low-grade. Of course, there are also good and bad qualities among the low-grade rice..."

"What?" Xing Wen suddenly stood up, somewhat disbelieving, and said, "Is Grandmaster Guang Chang that amazing?"

He couldn't help but be shocked. Rice farmers who could cultivate high-grade Azure Dew Rice in the Divine Continent were few and far between. Even if Grandmaster Guang Chang was extremely talented, he couldn't possibly teach two people to cultivate high-grade Azure Dew Rice in just a few days, right? At this moment, he was simply grateful that he had invited Grandmaster Guang Chang to the sect to teach the planting of Azure Dew Rice.

Ren Fei said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, the two disciples who cultivated high-grade Azure Dew Rice were not taught by Grandmaster Guang Chang."

"What do you mean?" Xing Wen frowned slightly. Could it be that among the hundred or so disciples participating in the competition, there was a hidden expert in planting Azure Dew Rice? This was unlikely, as planting Azure Dew Rice was the least promising endeavor. Cultivators didn't even have enough time to cultivate themselves, so who would be foolish enough to spend their time planting Azure Dew Rice?

Ren Fei quickly explained, "The Sect Leader should know Mo Wuji, the rice farmer brought back by Deacon Chi Kun, who is also a Great Divine Pill Master. Originally, he was supposed to teach our sect's participating disciples how to plant Azure Dew Rice, but Grandmaster Guang Chang arrived that day, and except for two disciples who were willing to continue following Mo Wuji to learn how to plant Azure Dew Rice, all the other disciples wanted to follow Grandmaster Guang Chang..."

As a sect leader, Xing Wen understood completely upon hearing this. He asked in astonishment, "Could it be that the two disciples who cultivated high-grade Azure Dew Rice were taught by Mo Wuji?"

"That's exactly right, and he only taught them for half a day," Ren Fei replied, then fell silent.

Xing Wen's expression became somewhat awkward because he had invited Grandmaster Guang Chang, but in the end, he had driven away the better Mo Wuji and kept the inferior Guang Chang. Moreover, he had expended a great deal of effort and favors to get this Guang Chang. Even after Guang Chang left, the sect had still given him a generous reward.

After a moment, Xing Wen regained his composure, sat down, and nodded, saying, "I didn't expect I would misjudge things. Chi Kun has made a great contribution this time. Allow him to cultivate in the sect's Divine Realm for three years, and also allow him to choose an intermediate-level divine ability."

"Yes," another elder stood up, responded, and then sat down again.

Xing Wen turned to Ren Fei and said, "Elder Ren, in a moment, invite Mo Wuji to my Lingxiao Divine Sect to also teach the remaining disciples participating in the assessment how to plant Azure Dew Rice."

"I have already invited him..." Ren Fei paused, then said with a somewhat strange expression, "Sect Leader, I just received news that Mo Wuji left the Lingxiao Divine Sect not long ago and went to Nirvana Dao City, I heard."

"Then go to Nirvana Dao City; there should still be time. Before Mo Wuji comes to the sect, first have the two disciples who can cultivate high-grade Azure Dew Rice tell us their methods," Xing Wen said without hesitation.

Ren Fei said with an awkward expression, "I'm afraid that won't work. When Qu Chen Dan and Di Jie were learning how to plant Azure Dew Rice from Mo Wuji, I was aware of some things. Both of them swore a poisonous oath that they would absolutely not, by any means, pass on anything Mo Wuji taught them to others."

Xing Wen frowned slightly. A mere rice farmer had actually made the sect's disciples swear an oath. Then, he shook his head, "Since that's the case, then quickly bring Mo Wuji to the Lingxiao Divine Sect."

Ren Fei hesitated for a moment, then still said, "Sect Leader, I'm afraid it won't be easy. Mo Wuji had a conflict with Ao Shi before. His behavior shows that he is not someone who can be summoned at will. Moreover, he asked Chi Kun for a batch of fifth-level divine spiritual herbs, but because Grandmaster Guang Chang came, his usefulness was almost gone, so the sect didn't give them to him. Later, after he taught two disciples to cultivate high-grade Azure Dew Rice, the sect didn't give him any reward."

Xing Wen waved his hand, "No matter what, bring him here first. Even if he is unwilling to continue teaching my Lingxiao Divine Sect's disciples, we can't let him teach others."

...

"Wuji, I've been to Nirvana Dao City before. The direction of the flying ship seems to be slightly off," Chi Bing couldn't help but say, seeing that Mo Wuji was controlling the flying ship to deviate from the direction of Nirvana Dao City.

Mo Wuji had saved her life, and her younger brother, Chi Chuan, called Mo Wuji "Big Brother." Moreover, Mo Wuji's character was very pleasing to Chi Bing, so Chi Bing simply suggested that the three of them address each other as siblings.

Mo Wuji shook his head and said, "Sister Bing, when we left Wu Bing Medical Shop, did you hear other people's discussions?"

Chi Bing nodded, "I heard. The Dewdrop Merchant Guild headquarters was actually massacred. The Dewdrop Merchant Guild is the industry of Dewdrop Merchant City. It is also a famous presence in the entire Divine Continent. I don't know who has such great ability, and I don't know why this happened."

"Who did it and why they did it are irrelevant to us. I guess that with the Dewdrop Merchant Guild headquarters being destroyed, Nirvana Dao City must be conducting very strict inspections now, especially since Nirvana Learning Academy is about to hold its assessment. Therefore, I plan to go to Hejian Divine City first. Hejian Divine City is very close to Nirvana Dao City. When Nirvana Learning Academy starts its assessment, we will go to Nirvana Dao City," Mo Wuji explained.

For Mo Wuji, this was one reason. In fact, he broke out in a cold sweat after hearing that the Dewdrop Merchant Guild had been massacred. Fortunately, most of the Divine Kings did not attend that auction when he went to Dewdrop Merchant City, and that auction did not realize the true value of the Golden Soul Detachment Sand. It wasn't until after the auction that the Golden Soul Detachment Sand fermented continuously, eventually causing a struggle among the experts.

This was not the main reason why Mo Wuji was not going to Nirvana Dao City now. After Mo Wuji heard about the destruction of the Dewdrop Merchant Guild, he felt that he had been too hasty in his actions. The Rootless Divine Iron was very important to him, but he should not have taken out the Golden Soul Detachment Sand to exchange for it.

This made Mo Wuji even more cautious. He immediately thought of the Azure Dew Rice. If Grandmaster Guang Chang did not teach students who could plant high-grade Azure Dew Rice, then he would definitely be noticed by the Lingxiao Divine Sect, and it would not be impossible for them to catch him again to teach the planting of Azure Dew Rice.

Since Qu Chen Dan and Di Jie knew that he was going to Nirvana Divine City, he had no choice but to temporarily not go.

"Okay, I'm fine with going anywhere. It's a pity that I wasted that Purple Soul Detachment Sand. Otherwise, once I broke into the Divine King Realm, we would have some strength," Chi Bing sighed.

Mo Wuji smiled slightly and said, "Sister Bing, even if you had the Purple Soul Detachment Sand, I still wouldn't recommend you use the Purple Soul Detachment Sand to enter the Divine King Realm."

"I know," Chi Bing sighed. How could she not understand the reasoning that Mo Wuji understood? But in the Divine Continent, being able to enter the Divine King Realm was already considered a peak expert, even if it was with the help of someone else's Dao rhythm insights, it was far better than not entering the Divine King Realm.

Mo Wuji raised his hand and tore off the mask on his face, saying, "Sister Bing, this is my true appearance."

Chi Bing was not too surprised. Although she couldn't see Mo Wuji's original appearance before, she knew that Mo Wuji had used disguise.

"Sister Bing, do you know what grade divine pill the Soul Detachment Pill is?" Mo Wuji said with a smile.

Chi Bing suddenly understood, and she looked at Mo Wuji with unparalleled surprise, "Are you saying..."

Before Chi Bing could say it, Mo Wuji nodded and said, "That's right, I refined that Soul Detachment Pill. I am a true fifth-grade Divine Pill King. I am certain that the difficulty of refining the Divine Jade Pill is definitely not as great as that of the Soul Detachment Pill. I have even refined the Soul Detachment Pill. You also have Bright Jade Divine Flowers here. Do you think I can refine the Divine Jade Pill?"

Chi Bing exhaled and casually took out a jade box and handed it to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, I followed you originally wanting to help you, but now I owe you more and more."

Mo Wuji took the jade box and smiled, "Sister Bing, we are siblings, so why bother about these things."

"Yes, we are siblings." Chi Bing looked at Mo Wuji and nodded firmly.

"Since that's the case, then we won't go to Hejian Divine City either. We'll go somewhere else. Sister Bing, do you know any place that is relatively empty and no more than a month's journey from Nirvana Dao City?" Mo Wuji said with a chuckle.

Chi Bing smiled slightly, "There are really not many people who know this area better than me. I'll control the flying ship. We'll go to Panfeng Forest. It's both quiet here, and no strong experts will enter casually. It's also only half a month's journey from Nirvana Dao City."

"Panfeng Forest, what a strange name," Mo Wuji said.

Chi Bing explained, "The reason it's called Panfeng Forest is because once the wind blows into this forest, it can never get out again. It also describes how difficult it is for a cultivator to escape once they are trapped in Panfeng Forest. It is rumored that there are even sixth-level divine beasts in the depths of Panfeng Forest. Even experts who have surpassed the Divine King have a chance of going and never returning if they enter the depths."

"Then isn't this place very dangerous?" Mo Wuji planned to find a place to refine pills and then let Chi Bing advance to the Divine King Realm. A place that was too dangerous would not be suitable.

Chi Bing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know a great place in Panfeng Forest where no powerful demon beasts will go. It is also very suitable for you to cultivate."

(That's it for today's update, good night friends!)
