Chapter 292: Changes in Shenmu Sect(1/2)
After hosting a banquet for E Yun and others, Chen Mobai invited Qi Rui, Xi Jinghuo, Qi Hou and other friends from the sect the next day.
I invited them each to taste a glass of second-grade Yuzhu spirit wine, and they were all full of praise.
Before leaving, Chen Mobai asked Zhuo Ming to send everyone to the first level of the altar.
On the third day, Chen Mobai brought wine and visited the three foundation building leaders of the Spiritual Planting Department.
Inspector Sun Gaochang, an old leader, gave two jars to him. Although the other ministers and deputy ministers were not familiar with each other, they also personally sent jars of them, both of which were second-grade Yuzhu spirit wine.
"Do you still have this wine? I bought it all."
Sun Gaochang was addicted to alcohol. After taking a sip, he couldn't stop. After a while, he and Chen Mobai finished the whole jar. After drinking, he was still unsatisfied, but he still had sense, so he kept the remaining jar of wine.
It will not open again.
"There are still some, but I haven't sent them to the head yet. I have something to ask Minister Zeng of the Alchemy Department, and I need to send them to two altars."
Chen Mobai answered truthfully, indicating that this second-level spiritual wine can only be tasted internally. If he really wants to brew it on a large scale and sell it on the shelves, he has to wait until the first batch of sown Polygonatum odorifera spiritual rice matures.
"What a pity."
Sun Gaochang sighed, and heard that there were enough Yuzhu spirit wines in the first level, so he immediately paid a deposit of one thousand spirit stones and reserved a large vat.
Chen Mobai was not polite and said he would ask his apprentice to deliver it later.
"Junior Brother Chen, speaking of which, you are still in the establishment of our Spiritual Planting Department."
After giving the gift, when Chen Mobai was about to say goodbye and leave, Sun Gaochang stopped him and said something very abrupt.
"Yes, if you hadn't given me the Shenmu Sword, Inspector Sun, I wouldn't have won the first place so easily during the sect competition. If I hadn't won the first place, I wouldn't have been able to get the Foundation Establishment Pill. Maybe I still have it now.
At the ninth level of qi training, we are waiting hard for the next batch of chalcedony and golden zhi to mature."
Chen Mobai did not understand the meaning of Sun Gaochang's words, but as a child, he went to his grandfather's house to live for a period of time every year. He was very familiar with the clichés in these scenes, and he expressed the Ministry of Spiritual Planting's interest in him as soon as he opened his mouth.
The grace of reinvention.
"It's like this, Junior Brother Chen, you also know that among the twelve divisions of the sect, each division has only three foundation-building monks. If the three of us don't leave, you will always be able to receive ordinary foundation-building elders.
Do you have any plans to take the benefits further?"
Sun Gaochang was kind to Chen Mobai and knew the latter's character, so he went straight to the point.
"Inspector, do you mean to let me leave the Spiritual Planting Department?"
"Oh, this is wrong. I want you to be promoted. The Master Chu of Shanshan Hall appreciates you very much. In two years, some changes will happen in the upper level of the sect, and there will be many vacancies. You should go to Shanshan Hall in advance.
Being an inspector makes you gold-plated, and when the inspector's position among the twelve departments becomes available, you can be promoted again."
What Sun Gaochang said is very interesting. Is there going to be a change in the upper echelons of the sect? Chen Mobai looked at him and knew that if he spoke more deeply, this guy would definitely not say it again.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Although on the surface Chen Mobai was promoted by Sun Gaochang, in fact the two of them were gentlemen and had a close relationship.
Unlike E Yun and Yuan Chi Ye, who had been close friends since their early days, Sun Gaochang had a circle of his own, which was a decade older than him. Unless Chen Mobai was completely devoted to his disciples, both of them would be the same.
Unable to be honest with each other.
When he suddenly said these words this time, it was definitely not Sun Gaochang's own intention. It should be that some changes were going to happen in the upper echelons of the Shenmu Sect, and someone wanted to win over his combat power in advance.
That person, Sun Gaochang, also proposed that he should be the master of the Hall of Rewarding Goodness and serve as the chief minister.
There are twelve departments in the three halls of the Shenmu Sect, and the Lingzhi Department happens to be under the command of the Shanshan Hall.
If Chu Zuoshu transferred Chen Mobai up, it would be in compliance with the rules, but he still asked Sun Gaochang to say it in advance, and the method of doing things would at least not conflict with Chen Mobai.
"Thank you very much, Inspector Sun and Palace Master Chu, for your kindness. I'll think about it carefully when I go back."
Chen Mobai is obsessed with practice on weekdays, and spends most of his time in Shenmu Sect in Xiaonan Mountain, so he is confused about the situation at the top and dare not agree rashly.
"Okay, okay, Junior Brother Chen, don't forget my vat of wine."
Sun Gaochang personally sent Chen Mobai out of the door with a smile on his chubby face. At least in front of outsiders, the two of them seemed like true confidants.
"Definitely."
After greeting several other acquaintances from the Lingzhi Department, Chen Mobai came to the Divine Wood Hall.
Since E Yun greeted him in advance, Meng Hong did not go fishing today and waited for him to come.
"Well, this wine is pretty good. Don't you have a jar? Why did you only give me two jars?"
Meng Hong took the jar without politeness and opened it. After taking a sip, his face was rosy and his whole face was radiant. He looked as if he was two years younger.
"If Master needs it, I will dig out the vat and bring it to you later."
Chen Mobai still respects Meng Hong very much. After all, when he first established the foundation, he gave him a flying bird hairpin, a sacred wood sword, and ten thousand spiritual stones. He has always kept this kindness in his heart.
"Forget it, I'll just say it and send Wu Tan over."
Meng Hong shook his head, and then signaled to Chen Mobai to leave, he was going fishing.
"Head, it's like this..."
Chen Mobai did not dare to waste Meng Hong's time and repeated what Sun Gaochang said to him. The person in front of him was the head of the Shenmu Sect, and the upper core must know the meaning.
Chen Mobai is still from his apprentice E Yun, so he is right to ask.
"That guy Chu Zuoshu has been suppressed by me all his life. As soon as he heard that I was going to abdicate, he couldn't wait."
Meng Hong smiled dumbly after hearing this.
"Oh, the leader is abdicating?!"
When Chen Mobai heard this, he looked shocked. Although he had heard about this matter a long time ago, he did not expect it to happen so quickly.
Eyun, Zhou Wangshen and others have only established the foundation for a few years. If Meng Hong abdicates at this time, they may not be able to take over the position of leader due to insufficient cultivation.

"I will be 180 years old soon. If I don't form an elixir, I probably won't have a chance in this life."
Meng Hong calmly explained the reason.
In fact, as long as anyone is interested in calculating his age, he can basically know that the best age for a foundation-building monk to form an elixir is naturally before half of his lifespan, which is 120 years old.
But Meng Hong practiced the Sutra of Immortality and increased his life span by a decade, so he was able to live to the age of 180.
It is precisely because of this that when he completed the foundation building twenty years ago, many people had already thought of this.
After all, compared to Jiedan, the position of head of the Shenmu Sect seems too frivolous.
The other six major factions in the Eastern Wasteland are actually paying attention to this matter.
They all thought that Meng Hong would immediately step down as the leader after the foundation was completed to prepare for the formation of the core. Who knew that he would actually stay in charge for another twenty years?
"This matter has been reported to the two ancestors. I will officially abdicate in two years."
"If there are no accidents, Chu Zuoshu should be allowed to take over. However, he has also completed the foundation building. He only became the leader to obtain the elixir for forming pills. When you guys grow up, he will step down and prepare for forming pills."<
/p>
"But he has a stronger desire for power than me. Among the next generation, Hong He and Yin Qingmei are disciples of Patriarch Fu. Zhou Wangshen and E Yun are my disciples. However, his direct descendant Yue Zutao became disabled because of taking the fruit of the longevity tree.
, so he should be planning to train you to be a representative of his lineage."
Chen Mobai was slightly surprised when he heard this, but he did not expect that Yue Zutao was actually a disciple of Chu Zuoshu.
After Meng Hong confirmed that he wanted to retire and form pills, he relaxed and told Chen Mobai some personnel relations in the three palaces and twelve departments.
"Whether you go to the Shanshan Hall, it will balance the strength of the three major halls. After Chu Zuoshu of the province retreated, the Shanshan Palace will be in ruins."
With Meng Hong's words, Chen Mobai felt relieved.
After leaving the Shenmu Temple, he went to the Alchemy Department.
Yan Jinye made an appointment with Zeng Woyou in advance, and the latter even prepared dinner in advance.
Chen Mobai presented two jars of Yuzhu spirit wine. Although Zeng Woyou didn't drink, he still praised the second-level spirit wine improved by his apprentice.
However, the environment in Tianhe Realm is to keep good things to yourself first, so Zeng Woyou didn’t talk about the medicinal wine and elixir recipe.
"Minister Zeng, it's like this. Because I practice a skill of spiritual consciousness, I need bamboo fruits as the main medicine to refine an elixir. The three bamboo fruits last time were very effective. I wonder if you can arrange it again.
Give me a few."
After drinking and eating, Chen Mobai made his request.
The two copies of Qingmu Bamboo Spirit Dew refined by Wang Xingyu at the end of last year have been used up this year. He can exchange points for Zhu Guo, but things like Bamboo Fruit are very rare in Xianmen, and if you buy it, you need to at least buy it.
Millions of good deeds.
Chen Mobai now has many spiritual stones and few good deeds, so he decided to go to Tianhe Realm.
Last time, Zeng Woyou asked him to rescue Yan Jinye, and the shot was three bamboo fruits. Chen Mobai, with the mentality of giving it a try, came to deliver two jars of wine.
"How much do you want?"
"Three per year."
With the improvement of his cultivation, especially the advancement of divine control, Chen Mobai's demand for Qingmu Bamboo Spirit Dew is also increasing, but three bamboo fruits can completely satisfy him.
"Only more than a month's worth of spiritual bamboo can be ripened to produce bamboo fruits. There are forty-six more in Qingzhu Mountain. I can get you six more bamboo fruits at most. If there are more, I, the head of the alchemy department, can't afford them.
