Chapter 34 Pickup

Chen Baolan was the uncle who had almost become an internet celebrity because he was too handsome. His Spiritual Root aptitude was similar to Chen Xinglan’s, but because he was not burdened by love and family, he had tried to reach perfection in Qi Refinement Level-9 ten years ago. Unfortunately, he had failed.

As for Chen Yulan, she married a wealthy businessman in the city and had a daughter.

“When will Uncle be back?”

Of the three siblings, only Chen Baolan was away all year round. Once he returned, everyone was present. Thus, Tang Pancui asked about his whereabouts.

“His flight is the morning after tomorrow, so he should arrive in the afternoon. I’ve already called for Yulan. We’ll have dinner the day after tomorrow. Let’s have a meal together as a farewell.”

“Blah, blah, blah. Why are you talking about a farewell? How unlucky.”

Chen Mobai listened to his parents and thought about what he could do.

“By the way, Dad, I have a bottle of ‘Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water’ that I snapped up. You can use it at the Crimson Afterglow Academy too.”

He remembered his unused bottle and immediately pulled it out of his bag.

“Oh, you’re quite lucky to be able to snatch this thing. However, this bottle of yours is a middle-grade Rank-1 bottle. For someone at Qi Refinement Level-9, it can only shorten their Qi cultivation time by two to three days. Keep it for yourself.”

Chen Xinglan took the bottle and looked at it. Then, he shook his head and handed it back to Chen Mobai.

The “Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water” was the most traded medicine in the immortal sect every year. There were two levels of this medicine, each with three ranks. The price was also different based on its grade and rank. It was suitable for Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Chen Xinglan was at Qi Refinement Level-9. This middle-grade Rank-1 “Qi Replenishing Spirit Water” was ten times more efficient for Chen Mobai, but for him, it was only two or three times more effective.

“Dad, don’t worry. In the past two years, I’ll keep an eye on the flagship stores of those big pharmacies when I’m free. Once a superior-grade Rank-1 Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water is released, I’ll immediately buy it.”

At this moment, Chen Mobai regretted not using Turtle Treasure to activate an agent on the immortal sect network.

Although it was useless to have high levels of permission to the immortal sect network and he still had to snap the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water up, at least the flagship store would inform him when it would be available in advance. He just had to wait for the right time to compete with other users in speed and luck.

“I’m glad you have the heart, but your own cultivation is the most important. Also, didn’t you say you were going to the top Dao Colleges? You’ll be leaving Danxia City then.”

“I can just send it to you after I snatch it.”

Chen Mobai muttered, but he knew that Chen Xinglan was telling the truth.

“The most important thing in cultivation is to be single-minded. If you keep thinking about snatching the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water every day, it will definitely delay your cultivation. This will make me feel guilty. If you activate your Qi with this state of mind, you will definitely fail to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

Chen Xinglan said solemnly, causing Chen Mobai to have no choice but to nod in agreement. If he could get into a good Dao College, he would definitely prioritize his own cultivation.

However, as he said this, he thought of the young woman in the white nurse’s uniform.

“By the way, I think I saw the shop assistant bottling the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water at the Evergreen Pharmacy at the entrance of the street. Can we buy it directly there?”

Chen Mobai asked his parents.

“Don’t even think about it. The manager of the Evergreen Pharmacy is a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Rank-2 alchemist certified by the immortal sect. He has already signed a 20-year supply agreement with the Aquarius Pharmacy, the largest pharmacy in Danxia City. All the medicinal pills and spiritual water refined by him can only be exclusive to the Aquarius Pharmacy. Even his own shop can’t sell them.”

As expected, his mother was very clear about the matters in the neighborhood. Tang Pancui’s words also made Chen Mobai feel dejected.

“He’s already a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Why is he still selling himself!”

“What do you know? The Aquarius Pharmacy is a large pharmacy chain that has been authorized by Goumang Dao College. If alchemists want to improve, they need to spend a huge amount of materials. If they don’t rely on a large pharmacy, how can they have a chance to practice?”

As expected, Tang Pancui understood the situation very well. She spat and started lecturing Chen Mobai.

After hearing this, Chen Mobai completely gave up.

He had thought that he would be able to find a way to buy the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water.

“Then, Dad, have you exchanged for the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Fuse Technique?”

He thought of this matter again and asked. This cultivation technique of the Crimson Afterglow Academy could be cultivated to the Core Formation Realm at most. It was a cultivation technique that focused on refining weapons.

“I exchanged for it the day I broke through to Qi Refinement Level-9. By the way, son, have you decided on the cultivation technique after Qi Refinement Level-7? Is it still the Five Elements Technique?”

Chen Mobai naturally did not hide anything from his parents and said that he had chosen the Pure Yang Manual. However, he did not say that he had already exchanged for it. After all, 10,000 points was not a small amount, and it was a little difficult to explain, so he simply did not say anything.

“Oh, son, you’re getting more and more ambitious. Actually, the two top academies in Danxia City can be considered to have been separated from the Pure Yang Academy. If I cultivate my Fuse Technique to the end, I can also return to the path of the Pure Yang Manual. However, the cultivation of the Pure Yang Avatar is really too torturous. You have to think carefully.”

When Chen Xinglan was in the Crimson Afterglow Academy, he had seen many classmates who cultivated the Pure Yang Avatar. There were very few who succeeded.

“If I can cultivate the Three-Yang Avatar, I can increase my chances of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm by 10%. I’m cultivating for this reason.”

Chen Mobai voiced his thoughts. His lifelong dream was to succeed in reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm. Although cultivating the Pure Yang Avatar took a lot of time, it could increase the cultivator’s success rate of breaking through a major realm.

Now that he had obtained the opportunity from the turtle shell, he was confident that he could reach perfection in Qi Refinement Level-9 before the age of 60. He decided to spend some effort on increasing his success rate of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If he could find enough Spirit Stones in the Heavenly River Realm, the Pure Yang Manual would be the most suitable cultivation technique for him.

“In that case, I won’t say anything. Tell you what, have your mother transfer you 10,000 Karma Points.”

The immortal sect stipulated that everyone’s points were personal and could not be shared. However, Karma Points could be transferred. Chen Xinglan asked Tang Pancui to transfer 10,000 Karma Points to Chen Mobai. This was so that he could first accumulate the points needed to exchange for the Qi Refinement chapter of the Pure Yang Manual into his account.

“There’s no need. You’re about to go to the Crimson Afterglow Academy to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm. It’s time to use your Karma Points. Meanwhile, I’ve just reached Qi Refinement Level-6, so it’s still early for me to break through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm. Besides, when I want to use Karma Points, I’ll naturally ask Mom…”

After much persuasion, Chen Mobai finally stopped Chen Xinglan’s act of entrusting him with these matters.

The family of three talked for a while more. It was only when Chen Mobai was about to miss the last bus to school that he was chased out of the house by his parents.

On this day after school, Chen Mobai did not go to the water mansion.

It was rare for the family to be neat and tidy. Tang Pancui also got off work early and bought a lot of groceries to show off.

Chen Xinglan became excited and even drank two bottles of wine.

Chen Mobai didn’t like the smell of alcohol, but he still drank two glasses with his old father.

After class on the third day, Chen Mobai stopped pretending and simply did not go to the school’s cultivation room.

He was going to the airport to pick up his uncle, Chen Baolan.

He still swiped his student card and took the public transport.

However, as soon as he entered the airport, he realized that something was wrong.

“Why are there so many people!”
