This meal had a strange taste for Mo Simin.

Qing Nu also looked a bit odd.

Only Chen Mobai and Van Bingxuan were unaware, thoroughly enjoying their meal.

This was a Spirit Fish Chen Mobai had caught specifically from Yun Meng Ze. The meat was tender and delicious; paired with the boss’s secret recipe, the taste was outstanding.

“By the way, when are you planning to leave?”

Chen Mobai naturally referred to the time of departure to the Daoist Academy. The Crimson City cave dwelling he was going to was not too far from Red Sandstone City. With an express train, it would probably only take a day and a night.

“I might leave early. As I have direct admission, there are some processes to go through.”

While eating and speaking, Qing Nu glanced at Chen Mobai who was completely unobservant.

“I’ll also go early.”

Yan Bingxuan was also directly admitted to the Nature Studies Academy by her aunt.

I might be a bit later since I am nearby.”

Class president Mo Simin was lucky; though she had a mediocre entrance exam score, she was still admitted by the Heavenly Book Academy.

Chen Mobai asked about the situation of others.

It was a pity that Song Zheng did not receive an admission notice from the Primordial Elemental Academy and ultimately went to the Heavenly Book Academy, just like Mo Simin.

Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling agreed to go to the Spiritual Treasure Academy. It was said that Cao Yaling had originally received an admission notice from the Astral Observation Academy, but she made this choice to not separate from Shi Jingjing.

As for Xu Yuan and Shi Yuanqing, the latter also wanted to choose the same academy as Xu Yuan, but was rejected by him.

In the end, under the repeated persuasion of family and friends, Shi Yuanqing still went to the Primordial Elemental Academy. He achieved the best results in his grade, second only to Chen Mobai.

“Can my sister go with you? It would be nice for her to have company.” Qing Nu suddenly asked Yan Bingxuan, who was momentarily startled. Chen Mobai quickly explained that Qing Nu’s sister was Yang Jing. Yan Bingxuan and Mo Simin’s expression was the same as Chen Mobai’s initial shock.

No problem. My master asked me to take her when she left.”

Hearing this, Qing Nu thanked Yan Bingxuan with a nod.

Originally, Qing Nu intended for Yang Jing to go to the Imperial Medical Academy, but Ning Anning said, “Physicians can’t heal themselves.”

After the three of them pondered, they ultimately decided to let Yang Jing go to the Nature Studies Academy to seek a method to solve her own problems through the cultivation technique. Kong Feichen chose the Imperial Medical Academy, and with his achievements, he soon received an admission notice.

Yan Qiongzhi from the Nature Studies Academy regretted Kong Feichen’s choice. However, considering he did it for his sister, she expressed understanding.

Furthermore, Chen Mobai’s two rivals, Gong Xiangyu, went to the True Spiritual Academy, and Yan Feng went to the Mountain and Sea Academy. The two had already chosen their paths. When they couldn’t attend one of the four main Daoist academies, they didn’t choose the most famous Primordial and Pure Yang, but instead chose the academy that best suited the advancement of their cultivation technique.

They were all individuals with strong will power!

It was rumored that they were quite unwilling to accept their defeat at the hands of someone.

“Hope that when we meet next time, we have all reached the Foundation Establishment.”

In the end, Chen Mobai expressed his sincere wishes for their parting.

“Alright.”

Qing Nu replied with a smile.

“In that case, we may not see each other again for ten or twenty years.” Yan Bingxuan wiped her mouth expressionlessly, uttering a dark joke. She would need several years at least to improve her Ice Spirit Root. By the time she was ready to make the strike to attain Foundation Establishment, it could really be that long.

As for the class president Mo Simin, although she was short of confidence, she nodded nonetheless.

No one didn’t aspire to reach Foundation Establishment.

Even if it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

After chatting for a while longer, everyone went their separate ways home. In the following days, Chen Mobai met up with his desk mate Lu Hongsheng the two girls seated at the front, Yu Shu and Pu Jiangxue, Song Zheng and other classmates to say their goodbyes.

As for the Tianhe Realm, after three days of drifting, he finally arrived at the island operated by the Southstream Market.

Here, you could clearly see the traces of the demonic beasts’ attack, but, fortunately, there were still human traces remaining.

As soon as Chen Mobai’s raft drew near, it was stopped by two cultivators.

Only after negotiation and explaining the situation was he permitted to land on the island.

Brother, you really are lucky. Of the sixty-six markets in the outskirts of Yun Meng Ze, twenty-four have been overrun by demonic beasts. There are a handful of people who survived the destruction of the islands. You’re the third one we’ve met here,” a cultivator said with a sigh after confirming that Chen Mobai was a human and not a transformed demonic beast.

“I didn’t expect the situation to deteriorate to this extent. To my shame, I hid in a cave I dug myself for a full half a year after the destruction of Green Light Island, only daring to emerge when I completely ran out of supplies.”

“Oh, it seems there were no Seeking Spirit Birds among the group of demonic beasts that overran Green Light Island.”

This cultivator surnamed Liu was from the cultivation family of the Southstream Market.

Chen Mobai asked what a Seeking Spirit Bird was.

“Much like the Treasure Hunting Rat, this type of demonic beast is extremely sensitive to spiritual energy.”

“Rank-2 and above demonic beasts possess spiritual wisdom. They know that powerful spiritual objects can bring about their transformation, so stronger demonic beasts typically keep a Seeking Spirit Bird by their side.”

“Every time the demonic beasts overrun a cultivators’ market, they go through every corner with a Seeking Spirit Bird, sweeping up all objects with spiritual properties. We cultivators, being mobile sources of spiritual power, cannot escape the detection of a Seeking Spirit Bird.”

It was for this reason that the cultivator surnamed Liu thought that Chile Mobai was able to avoid disaster following the fall of Green Light Island because the group of beasts that attacked did not own a Seeking Spirit Bird.

Chen Mobai was not aware of this. No wonder he had searched the island for half a year only to find a few items. They had already been swept through by the bear of demonic beasts.

The magic artifacts he found must have been missed by the demonic beasts.

Is the teleportation array in the market still functional?”

Chen Mobai didn’t dare to continue speaking in fear of again revealing any flaws. He immediately changed the topic.

-It’s not usable anymore, it was destroyed by the demonic beasts. The array master who can repair the teleportation array won’t be able to come until next year. If you want to go back to Southstream Market, you’ll have to take our Liu family’s boat and then transfer to the Luo family’s Spirit Camel on the mainland, or you can walk there yourself.”

The cultivator surnamed Liu shook his head.

Unlike the high and mighty seven sects, these cultivation families, realizing that the beasts were about to attack, promptly packed up their spirit stones and strategically transferred them to the mainland via the teleportation array, effectively giving up the island.

After the demonic beasts arrived on the island, they could only destroy the buildings since there were no spiritual objects left for them.

The teleportation array was the only valuable thing, but the demonic beasts didn’t understand formations and didn’t dare to teleport to the cultivators’ base on the mainland, so they just destroyed it.

Chen Mobai was lucky, the team from Southstream Market had just arrived at the island this month.

If he had come earlier, he would have only seen a ruined desert island.

“Did the Wind and Rain post at the center of Yun Meng Ze fall? How else could the demonic beasts wreak such havoc?”

Chen Mobai’s words caused the cultivator surnamed Liu to shake his head and sigh..
