Chapter 30 - Spirit Stone Exchange

Chapter 30 Spirit Stone Exchange

However, in the end, Chen Mobai decided to exchange the Spiritual Stone at the bank.

There was no other reason.

This was because the immortal sect would give him points if he exchanged the Spirit Stone at the bank.

They would give as many points as the amount of Karma Points he would receive. The points system was originally developed by the immortal sect in order to collect all the Spirit Stones from the commoners and nationalize them.

After exchanging a Spirit Stone, the bank would give him 10,000 points. After spending it, another 10,000 points would be credited, which gave him double the profit.

After school, he walked into the National Bank’s Danxia City branch.

“Hello, sir. How may I help you?”

In the bank, a short-haired young lady in a uniform with a sweet smile immediately walked over and asked kindly when she saw Chen Mobai standing in front of the machine that issued queue numbers.

“The matter I want to handle doesn’t seem to be available.”

“May I ask, sir, what business do you require?’

“I want to exchange a Spirit Stone.”

“Sir, I’m sorry, but the service to exchange for Spirit Stones hasn’t been opened yet.”

The short-haired girl’s smile didn’t waver. She looked apologetic.

“No, you’ve misunderstood. I want to exchange a Spirit Stone, not exchange for a Spirit Stone.”

“Oh…”

After she reacted, her smile suddenly became stiff. When Chen Mobai saw this, he couldn’t help but shrug.

It took her two or three seconds to gather her wits enough to speak carefully for confirmation.

“Um, would you like to exchange Spirit Stones for Karma Points?”

“Yes!”

“Excuse me, please come this way and sit for a moment. I’ll get the manager.”

The short-haired girl immediately raised her hand and led Chen Mobai to a small room separated by transparent glass. After he sat down, she poured him a cup of tea.

At this moment, a man in a suit who had received the news walked over. After entering, he first extended his hand to Chen Mobai and introduced himself.

“Hello, sir. I’m…”

An hour later, Chen Mobai walked out of the bank with a satisfied expression.

The exchange of Spirit Stones had always been the top task of the bank. Chen Mobai took out his Spirit Stones for the other party to appraise. After confirming that it had never been used, the rest of the processes were much more convenient.

First, Chen Mobai explained the origin of this Spirit Stone.

Chen Mobai brought up his ancestor again. He said that his ancestor had saved it when he was participating in the war. Now, it was in his hands.

The bank would just record it and wouldn’t really investigate.

After confirming that Chen Mobai was a good citizen and that there was no problem with his application, he went through the process.

Although Chen Mobai only needed to sit and someone would help him complete the procedures, it still took him a full hour to transfer the Karma Points and points to his account.

Chen Mobai had originally wanted to exchange the empty shell of the Spirit Stone that he had used. The immortal sect had the technology to inject spiritual energy into Spirit Stones, so he thought that the bank would also buy it.

However, the man in the suit told him that this service was the same as exchanging points for Spirit Stones. It would only be available when there was a war.

Chen Mobai could only feel that this was a pity.

However, looking at the five-digit account balance displayed in the latest text message on his phone, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but laugh.

He’d never had so many Karma Points.

However, he did not get carried away. After being happy, he first exchanged for the Qi Refinement chapter of the Pure Yang Manual from the National Library using his main account. However, it was not convenient to read it on the road, so he could only take a look.

When he was about to reach home, he saw the pharmacy where he bought the spiritual power test paper last time.

The cultivation of the Three-Yang Body would transform one’s Spiritual Root, and the extent of the transformation depended on one’s spiritual energy and luck. It was best to be able to monitor the values at all times.

Chen Mobai thought for a moment and walked in.

“Hello … Oh, you’re here?”

He saw that there was no one at the counter and was about to shout when the young woman in the white nurse’s uniform he had seen last time came out of the back door. She was holding a large iron pot and a large box of small glass tubes.

“Yes, I’ve set up a small array formation at the door. If anyone comes in, the alchemy room will automatically prompt me.”

When the girl saw that it was Chen Mobai, she recalled what had happened last time. She first placed the things in her hands on the counter, then cast a Cleaning Spell to remove the smell of medicine from her body before walking over to greet him.

She was still wearing a mask, so her face could not be seen clearly. However, her eyebrows were elegant, and her eyes were clear. After meeting her eyes, Chen Mobai’s mind calmed down. The impatience in his heart, which had suddenly become rich, had unknowingly dissipated.

“What would you like to buy? Are you buying spiritual power test papers again?”

“No. Do you have a spiritual testing instrument?”

“This stuff is expensive. Do you run a cram school?”

The girl looked at Chen Mobai with confusion in her eyes. The spiritual power test paper was a one-time use item, but the spirit testing instrument was different. It could be used all the time. Usually, only those who ran cultivation tuition classes for children would buy this thing. After all, they had to use it in large quantities and teach the children according to their talent.

“I want to cultivate a technique to improve my Spiritual Root. I need to constantly check my Spiritual Root attribute points.”

“A technique to improve your Spiritual Root? Does such a cultivation technique exist?”

The girl seemed to be about the same age as Chen Mobai. She had not gone to university yet, so she did not know the cultivation technique to purify her Spiritual Root.

“Yes, my Spiritual Root aptitude is ordinary. I’m about to take the college entrance examination. My chances of breaking through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm are slim. I can only see if I can improve my Spiritual Root. I hope I can enter the top ten academies.”

After hearing Chen Mobai’s words, the girl nodded and walked to a medicine cabinet. She squatted down and took out a well-wrapped spiritual testing instrument from the drawer.

“That’ll be 580 Karma Points.”

When Chen Mobai heard the price, the corners of his mouth twitched. He wondered if he had been too impulsive.

The spiritual power test paper cost five Karma Points per piece. He could buy more than a hundred pieces with the cost of this spiritual testing instrument.

However, after thinking about it, if he cultivated the Pure Yang Avatar, this was definitely indispensable. It was not very environmentally friendly to always use one-time spiritual power test papers. Thus, he gritted his teeth and bought it.

When Qing Nü saw Chen Mobai’s conflicted expression as he paid, she knew that he was not from a rich family. A thought couldn’t help but appear in her mind.

“Why isn’t this person bargaining?”

She had originally thought that if Chen Mobai bargained, she would give him a discount of 10 Karma Points.

However, she would not take the initiative to return the money. When she saw the notification sound of her phone, alerting her that the money had entered her account, her clear eyes narrowed with laughter.

After confirming that Chen Mobai had no other needs, she walked to the counter and picked up the large iron pot with one hand. She poured a pot of freshly refined spiritual water into the small glass tubes through a pitcher, then sealed the tubes with a wooden stopper. Finally, she used a “Sealing Spell” to ensure that the spiritual water would not leak. Chen Mobai thought, “Is it the Spirit Returning Water again?”

Chen Mobai remembered what she had said last time and thought to himself. He did not ask. After all, he had only communicated with her twice and was not very familiar with her.

With the spiritual testing instrument in hand, he walked straight out of the pharmacy door.

However, he felt that there was something familiar about the scene of the girl infusing spiritual water.

What exactly was it that struck him as familiar?
