After class.

Chen Mobai didn’t fall any further behind. Relying on the fact that his realm had been consolidated, he increased his speed and snatched the first batch of cultivation rooms.

He had to go to the water mansion as soon as possible to verify if it was because of that fish that caused ripples in his peaceful cultivation.

He didn’t waste the two hours he had spent in the cultivation room. He seriously read the email that Chan Si had sent him.

With the complete content of the “Explanations of the Jade Water Array”, his array formation teacher did not disappoint him. After Chan Si understood the array thoroughly, she made a very detailed disassembly of the array formation. She started from the five basic array formations of this Rank-2 array formation, from gathering energy and concealment, to its complexity and water control…

As Chen Mobai had personally experienced the Jade Water Array, it was very easy for him to understand the content.

He compared his exploration and experience of the array flags in the past two days to the extremely detailed explanation in the course materials. Then, he instantly had a preliminary understanding of this Rank-2 array formation.

Two hours passed very quickly.

The alarm rang, waking Chen Mobai, who was immersed in his studies.

“Teacher Chan can speak very beautifully.”

As he muttered to himself, Chen Mobai thought of Chan Si’s typically boring lecture in class. He did not realize that it was because he was not interested in what was taught in class.

People were like that. Even monks had to stay up all night to find out what interested them, let alone cultivators.

After getting up and leaving the cultivation room, Chen Mobai stretched and looked around. Suddenly, he froze on the spot.

Somehow, he was extremely lucky.

Yan Bingxuan came out of the cultivation room on the left.

After not seeing her for a few days, the class belle’s temperament seemed to have become even colder. She must have officially cultivated the “Frost Condensation Technique” and started to transform her Spiritual Root into an ice-attribute Spiritual Root.

Meanwhile, the person in the cultivation room on Chen Mobai’s right was the other genius in their class, Song Zheng.

He probably didn’t manage to join the first batch of students to use the Rank-2 cultivation rooms today, so he came to the Rank-1 cultivation rooms to deal with his cultivation for now.

“…”

Since Chen Mobai wasn’t in the same social circle as the two of them, he didn’t know how to greet them.

After a moment of awkward silence, it was Song Zheng who spoke first.

“Yan Bingxuan, I still think that your choice is wrong. With your aptitude, if you focus on improving your realm and studies during this semester, you can at least take the entrance examination of the four Dao Colleges. You might even be able to pass the competitive examination and soar to fame.”

However, Song Zheng simply ignored Chen Mobai and spoke to Yan Bingxuan calmly.

“How can you speak of ice to summertime bugs!”

In response, the cold beauty Yan Bingxuan said something that made Song Zheng frown. As a result, he almost couldn’t help but get angry.

“I obtained Teacher Ding’s inheritance and also have a method to transform my Spiritual Root physique into a Three-Yang Body. However, I feel that with my limits, I shouldn’t go to the Pure Yang Academy. The four Dao Colleges are the only places I should go to.”

Song Zheng’s words silenced Chen Mobai.

This man was so confident.

If Chen Mobai could get into the Pure Yang Academy, one of the top ten schools, his mother would visit their neighbors every day and brag about this matter for the rest of her life.

Song Zheng was so confident that his eyes were about to shine. When faced with such a person, the beauty Yan Bingxuan, who was a woman of few words, said an idiom.

“You’re like a frog in a well!”

Song Zheng could no longer control his anger.

Chen Mobai looked at the time and didn’t greet the two of them, who ignored him. Instead, he walked out from between the two of them.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I bet the two of them are going to the stadium to sort it out.”

However, before Chen Mobai could leave, he was stopped by his deskmate, Lu Hongsheng. Soon, a group of classmates gathered around the two of them. Everyone looked at Song Zheng, who was clenching his fists and requesting a spell exchange from Yan Bingxuan.

In school, fighting was naturally not allowed.

However, the exchange of Dharma spells was encouraged.

Furthermore, between top students, they often used this as an excuse to prove that they were the strongest.

“I have something to do today, so I’ll leave. Tell me the results of their fight later.”

Although Chen Mobai also wanted to see the exchange between the only two top late-stage Qi Refinement Realm students in the class, after thinking about his arrangements tonight, he decided not to waste his precious time watching them.

Meanwhile, Lu Hongsheng’s attention was completely focused on the two top students. Thus, he responded nonchalantly. By the time he reacted, Chen Mobai had already disappeared.

“The lad’s been a bit odd lately.”

“That’s right. He’s the fastest to run after cultivating.”

“Could he be dating someone?”

The words of the two beauties who sat at the front made Lu Hongsheng shudder suddenly. He realized that this might actually be the case.

“Let’s go. Beauty Yan has agreed.”

However, before they could investigate further, Yan Bingxuan had already turned around and walked towards the stadium with a sneer.

In order to avoid destroying the venue, the exchange of Dharma spells had to be carried out in a place where the school had set up restrictions.

This place was the stadium.

After Chen Mobai ran out of the school, he immediately put such a small matter to the back of his mind.

On the way home, he saw a pharmacy and went inside.

The pharmacy wasn’t large, but it was relatively well stocked. Strangely, there was no one behind the counter.

Chen Mobai could only walk around and look for what he wanted to buy.

“Hello, is anyone there?”

However, after searching around, he did not find the test paper that could easily measure his spiritual power. Thus, Chen Mobai shouted in the direction of the back door.

“Coming!”

There was a sharp response. Then, the back door was pulled open. A young girl in white clothes and white pants, with her hair tied up and wearing a white hat and mask, walked over. Although only half her face could be seen, their eyes met and Chen Mobai was drawn to her dark, bright eyes that were charming and intelligent.

Chen Mobai had never seen such a clear and pure gaze. It was as pure and flawless as her clothes.

“Hello, customer. May I help you?”

“Where’s the spiritual power test paper? I couldn’t find it.”

“Just a minute. This item is in the cabinets. I’ll take it out for you.”

The white-clothed girl’s eyebrows were also extremely delicate. Her skin was snow-white, and she was wearing a mask that increased how attractive she was. Chen Mobai could not help but take a few more glances at her when he spoke.

After the exchange, the white-clothed girl turned around and walked towards the counter at the door. Her back was slender, but the faint medicinal fragrance wafting from her body made Chen Mobai frown. He raised his finger to cover his nose.

He had been seriously ill when he was young and had taken medicine for a few years, so he did not like the smell of medicine very much.

“How many would you like?”

The girl in white walked over with a box of opened spiritual power test papers. At that moment, she noticed Chen Mobai’s right index finger covering his nose. Her dark and bright eyes froze.

“Five will do. Thank you.”

Chen Mobai reached out with his other hand and took five pieces from the box the girl was holding. Then, he quickly walked to the door and scanned the code to pay.

“I’m sorry, I was refining the ‘Spirit Returning Water’ at the back. My extraction standards weren’t good enough, so the smell of medicine on me was stronger.”

The girl’s words sounded from behind. Chen Mobai turned around and saw that she was standing where she was, not following him. Her eyes were apologetic.

“Oh, are you an alchemist?”

The immortal sect stipulated that only those who passed the Alchemist Vocation Certification Examination could refine medicine.

There were many ways to refine pills, but on Planet Earth, the most common way was to refine pills using water.

This was because fire-based alchemy would dissipate a portion of the spiritual energy in the medicinal herbs, making it a little wasteful. On the other hand, water-based alchemy emphasized on extraction. The utilization rate was high, and the medicinal properties were gentle. Not only were most medicinal liquids effective after consumption or injection, there were basically no residual effects either.

The “Spirit Returning Water” was a Rank-one medicinal liquid that could be taken orally. It could recover the spiritual energy of Qi Refinement Realm cultivators.
