After Manager Ding announced the end of class, everyone in the classroom rushed to the cultivation rooms.

Chen Mobai purposely pretended to be one step behind and missed the first batch. Then, he stomped his feet and sighed, using the excuse of going to the toilet to enter the teacher’s office.

The immortal sect only had classes in the morning. Students would self-study in the afternoon.

All the students went to the cultivation rooms after class, and the teachers were no exception. Apart from Manager Ding, who had exhausted his potential and was destined to no longer be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, the rest of the students, such as Chai Deyun, were all focused on their cultivation.

However, even then, only Manager Ding would give up his use of the Rank-2 spiritual energy cultivation room.

Thus, Chen Mobai had thought that Old Man Ding would be the only person in the teacher’s office at this moment.

However, just as he arrived at the door, he realized that apart from himself, there were already another classmate present.

It was not Song Zheng, Old Man Ding’s successor, but another late-stage Qi Refinement Realm cultivator in their class, Yang Bingxuan.

Her bare face was beautiful and her long hair draped over her shoulders. Even the large school uniform could not hide her tall figure. When she saw Chen Mobai standing at the door, she frowned slightly. Then, she bowed slightly to Old Man Ding and left.

Chen Mobai nodded at Yan Bingxuan, who was walking out. Yan Bingxuan hesitated for a moment before nodding in response.

The two of them had different social circles in class. Although they were in the same class, they had only interacted briefly.

However, Chen Mobai still felt that compared to last semester, Yan Bingxuan seemed to have a colder personality and temperament this semester.

As though to match her name, this genius cultivator had made herself increasingly cold1.

“Chen Mobai, why are you here instead of waiting at the cultivation rooms?”

Old Man Ding thought that he was a rather humorous person. After Chen Mobai heard this, he walked in with a smile.

“It’s like this, Teacher Ding. In order for me to have good results in the college entrance examination, my mother hired a tutor to guide me in the application of Dharma spells. Yesterday, he gave me an after-school assignment and asked me to break a wave-like defense barrier. However, I’m really slow-witted and have no choice but to ask Teacher Ding for help.”

After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Old Man Ding did not suspect anything.

After all, the best way to improve one’s Dharma spells cultivation was to keep practicing.

Although the content taught in the school was extensive, in terms of specific spells and restrictions, it was indeed inferior to the content taught by some of the private practitioners.

“Your mom is quite generous. Private training doesn’t come cheap.”

Old Master Ding said casually as he searched for the origin of the water wave restriction in his spell database according to Chen Mobai’s description.

“My mother has high hopes for me. I can only work hard and trouble Teacher Ding.”

Chen Mobai didn’t dare to say much, so he could only be vague. Following this, he told Manager Ding in detail about how he had used coins to test the water wave restriction in the water mansion.

“Yes, according to your description, it’s very likely that these three Dharma spells were used to create the restriction.”

Ever since he had lost hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had put all his heart and soul into education. Thus, he put in a lot of effort to help Chen Mobai, who rarely took the initiative to seek guidance from him. As a result, he managed to dig out three spells from his spell database.

The three spells were Water Shield, Wave Spell, and Scale Wave Technique.

“I’ve sent the details of the Dharma spells and the way to crack the spells to your personal database. Go home and experiment more. If you still can’t do it, you can write a report and send it to me.”

When Chen Mobai saw that Manager Ding had sent the three spell files to his interface address, he thanked Manager Ding profusely.

If he wanted to download the information on these three spells from the immortal sect’s spell library, he would have to pay at least 30 Karma Points.

Furthermore, without a teacher like Manager Ding, who had a deep understanding of Dharma spells, Chen Mobai would have had to spend days and nights searching the internet alone.

The welfare from the school was really good!

Chen Mobai sighed from the bottom of his heart. This was also the reason why they placed so much importance on the college entrance examination.

If one managed to get into those Dao Colleges, not only would they be able to use Divine Knowledge realm, but they would also be able to use secret techniques, Divine Knowledge realm spells, and immortal techniques for free.

On Planet Earth, due to the mechanical civilization, there was basically no bias towards knowledge.

As long as one reached the late stages of the Nascent Soul Realm, they could obtain the secret techniques of the Soul Formation Realm passed down by the immortal sect for free.

It was also because of this that a Soul Formation Patriarch could be born in a world like Planet Earth, where resources were scarce, and lead the immortal sect.

“By the way, Teacher Ding, did Yan Bingxuan also come to ask you for advice on Dharma spells?”

Before Chen Mobai left, he recalled what had just happened and subconsciously asked.

“Yan Bingxuan? After entering the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, she seemed to have decided to transform her gold and water double-attribute True Spiritual Root into an ice Spiritual Root. She was asking me for advice on how to purify and improve her Spiritual Root.”

Initially, Chen Mobai had not thought that he would get an answer. However, Manager Ding had said it directly, causing him to widen his eyes in shock.

“This… Can the Spiritual Root be converted and improved?”

“Oh, you haven’t reached this level yet, but it’s okay to tell you in advance.”

Manager Ding tapped twice on his keyboard, selected a document, and sent it to Chen Mobai.

“The reason why I was accepted by Pure Yang College was because I had cultivated in seclusion for 20 years in Danzhu College. I had managed to transform my Spiritual Root into a Three-Yang Body. This can be considered a mutation into a special Spiritual Root.”

“However, after 20 years of hard work, although my Spiritual Root has become a superior-grade Spiritual Root, I was left with insufficient time to achieve perfection in the Qi Refinement Realm.”

“All of you know the story of the rest of my life. Even though I had the Three-Yang Body, I failed twice in reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm and my potential was exhausted.”

Chen Mobai roughly browsed through the document that Manager Ding had sent him regarding Spiritual Roots and found out the reason.

Due to the lack of resources on Planet Earth, the mighty figures of the immortal sects could only focus on developing Dharma spells and cultivation techniques, hoping to improve the overall quality of the cultivators in the immortal sect.

Six thousand years ago, Guru Tianbo created the “Gold Point Technique”. It could increase the attributes of the metal-attribute Spiritual Roots. When cultivated to the peak, it could turn an ordinary pseudo Spiritual Root that had less than 20 points into a metal-attribute Heaven Spiritual Root.

Today, the immortal sects had more than ten secret spells that could purify and improve one’s Spiritual Root.

Even the secret spells to transform one’s Spiritual Root into an ice Spiritual Root, a thunder Spiritual Root, or a wind Spiritual Root were widely circulated among the various schools.

“The better the Spiritual Root, the faster you can cultivate. However, if you spend time improving your Spiritual Root, the amount of time you spend cultivating will decrease accordingly. I’m a negative example.”

“Hence, the immortal sect has a rule that before you go to university, teachers will not teach such content in class, in case the students get distracted.”

“Meanwhile, after you enter university, the various schools and colleges will have secret techniques that are suitable for you to inherit. These techniques will help you improve your Spiritual Root. However, whether you want to cultivate it or not will depend on you.”
