“Alright, then,” Shen Juanxiu began with a smile, “I’ll ask you for a favor. If you agree, you can have this green bamboo pen as a thank you gift. What do you say?”

Chen Mobai was puzzled. He wondered why such a wealthy senior would need his help.

“Go ahead.”

“Do you know about the ‘Foundation Establishment App’?”

“I’m afraid not.”

Chen Mobai answered honestly. Shen Juanxiu then took out her cell phone, opened the app, and showed him its logo.

“This app was jointly created by the four Daoist academies and the top ten colleges. It’s one of the best-reviewed apps in the entire cultivation world.” Shen Juanxiu explained what the ‘Foundation Establishment App’ was. After listening to her, Chen Mobai was stunned. He hadn’t known that such an app existed in the cultivation world.

Just by importing your personal data into the app, along with whatever spiritual objects you have for assisting in foundation establishment, the app can estimate your chances of successful foundation establishment based on your cultivation technique, realm, and the available external spiritual objects. The actual result of one’s foundation establishment and the data analyzed by the ‘Foundation Establishment App’ had less than 1% discrepancy in the most recent thousand-year sample.

However, using the ‘Foundation Establishment App’ requires borrowing the supercomputing power of the cultivation world, so not anyone could use it freely.

To avoid wasting computational power, and to afford the chance to those who really needed it, ordinary users of the ‘Foundation Establishment App’ could only import one personal data profile.

Since cultivators above the foundation establishment level do not need this app, most users are Qi Cultivating Realm students.

In this, the students of the four Daoist academies get first priority to use the Foundation Establishment App, followed by those from the top ten colleges. From the remaining one hundred and twenty-forty schools, only a minimal few can be put in line by getting a recommendation from a distinguished figure like Crimson Robe. They could then apply to use the supercomputing power.

“So you mean to say that, if I enroll in the Daoist Academy, I can use my opportunity to import your personal data and see your chances of successful foundation establishment.”

After listening to Shen Juanxiu’s explanation, Chen Mobai finally figured out what she was getting at.

“Exactly. Students from the four Daoist academies can apply to use supercomputing power to estimate their chances of foundation establishment through the Foundation Establishment App every two years before they establish foundation. But it takes three years until students from the top colleges can make a request.”

“However, each new student can directly queue in the front line to use the Foundation Establishment App.”

“Considering your performance in the magic duel, you can select any of the top colleges. This is the favor I’m asking for,”

Shen Juanxiu finished and then anxiously looked at Chen Mobai.

She had failed to establish foundation once. Even though her family was rich, she couldn’t afford more than two more attempts.

Among these, failing twice consecutively would drain too much life force and essence. Thus, even if the last attempt happened before turning 60, the odds of success would drastically decrease.

Therefore, this second chance at foundation establishment was valuable and she couldn’t afford to fail it.

While she was seeking spiritual medicine to recover her lost essence after failing her first attempt at foundation establishment, she was also slowly accumulating ‘Foundation Establishment Treasures’. For the chance of an additional estimation with the Foundation Establishment App, she had asked many people for help.

However, no one was willing to give up such an opportunity. After all, if they succeeded in foundation establishment on their own, it would be like ascending to heaven in one step.

Moreover, asking Crimson Robe for a queue slot was out of the question. Despite having a wealthy family, Shen Juanxiu didn’t have enough influence to seek the aid of a Gold Core cultivator.

“You’re currently at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation. It will take several years at minimum to reach the ninth level. If you give me the opportunity right after you get admitted to the academy, you can make a request again in three years when you’re done with Qi Cultivation Perfection and ready to try foundation establishment.”

“If you agree, I won’t only give you the green bamboo pen but also three jin of Rank-2 Ling Sha,”

Shen Juanxiu had no need to beat around the bush and directly stated her offer.

Upon hearing the proposal, Chen Mobai gladly accepted without the slightest hesitation.

“Ha!”

His quick response left Shen Juanxiu, who had prepared for quite a lengthy persuasion, slightly startled.

“Aren’t you going to give it more thought?”

Shen Juanxiu ironically felt a bit embarrassed now.

However, Chen Mobai had already considered it thoroughly. Since he had Turtle Treasure to act as a proxy, this precious opportunity to others was nothing more than switching accounts to him.

In addition, this wealthy senior had bought his Spirit Ascension Powder, thereby providing him with seed money.

Thanks to this fund, he had been able to buy sufficient medicinal herbs to let Qing Nu refine the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water. This enabled his realm to advance in such a short time and allowed him to stand on the stage of the magic duel to compete for the chance to get into the Daoist Academy.

From this perspective, she also had helped Chen Mobai.

More importantly, what she had said made sense.

Based on his current stage, even if he had enough Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, it would take at least three to four years to achieve Qi Cultivation Perfection and prepare for foundation establishment.

If that was the case, this opportunity was better used to gather resources for himself.

Moreover, Ling Sha of Rank-2 was a precious commodity that one couldn’t come by even with enough good deed points.

Besides “Beryl Phoenix Tree”, Red Sandstone City was mostly famous for its “Cinnabar Ling Sha”.

This magic-enhancing substance was an excellent spiritual object used to prepare the ink for talisman making. Similar to having spiritual extract in medicine making, including it in the ink would significantly increase the success rate of concoction and improve its quality.

On the market, this Cinnabar Ling Sha could only be purchased by registered talisman makers within the cultivation world.

Rank-1 Cinnabar Ling Sha was relatively cheap, selling at 5000 good deed points per jin.

Rank-2’s price, however, skyrockets to 100,000 good deed points per jin, with a purchase limit applied.

About Rank-3, it’s a priceless treasure, not available on the market.

Only every ten years, Shen Juanxiu’s family’s Ling Sha mine could refine a few ounces of Rank-3 Ling Sha. These spiritual objects could never be utilised just for the minor benefit of getting an estimation from the Foundation Establishment App.

After all, sometimes, knowing the outcome could be more discouraging. The largest Ling Sha mine in Red Sandstone City belonged to the Cinnabarite Institute. Alongside Beryl Phoenix Tree, Cinnabar Ling Sha was renowned as one of the twin treasures of Danxia, and it was the main source of fame for the region in the cultivation world.

“Wait here, and I will bring you the Green Bamboo Pen right away. I only have one jin of Rank-2 Cinnabar Ling Sha on me now. I’ll go home tonight to fetch the rest.”

After getting Chen Mobai’s approval, Shen Juanxiu was thrilled. She was ready to give him his rewards ahead of the fulfilment of his promise and reserve this opportunity for herself.

“You don’t have to trouble yourself, senior Shen. How about converting the remaining two jin based on the market price and giving me the equivalent good deed points instead?”

Chen Mobai showed no modesty and accepted the offer right away.

Considering he was short on good deed points recently,furthermore, a jin of Rank-2 Cinnabar Ling Sha would last him quite a while as a novice talisman maker.

“Alright, just wait here.”

Shen Juanxiu, eager to solve the matter, immediately dragged Chan Si to her cave dwelling to retrieve the pen..
