Chapter 258: Chapter 240 Another Year_2

“Since you have joined my school, as your master, I can promise you that as long as I’m in the Divine Wood Sect, you don’t need to go to battle and fight if you don’t want to,” Chen Mobai told Zhuo Ming after finishing his sentence.

He then pulled out the “Wu Earth True Method” and “Mother Earth Cultivation” and placed them on the table.

“These two cultivation techniques are whole within the sect; you need not worry about cultivation techniques before reaching the Nascent Soul Formation,” he said.

“If you feel that you can cultivate fully and are determined to climb to the peak of Immortal cultivation, then choose the ‘Wu Earth True Method.’

“If you decide to peacefully spend your life as my disciple, choose ‘Mother Earth Cultivation.’ I will give you the 60 acres of good farmland under Xiao Nanshan for cultivation practices,” he added.

After hearing this, Zhuo Ming was stunned, her mouth open wide in surprise.

“Master, my greatest wish in life is to establish a Foundation. I don’t even dare to dream of Core Formation,” she admitted.

“We should have dreams,” Chen Mobai replied, shaking his head, somewhat disappointed at the modesty of her dreams.

Those on the immortal path, even children, dream of ascending and roaming the universe.

“Choose this one then,” Chen Mobai said, picking up the “Mother Earth Cultivation” technique and using 50 spiritual stones to exchange for this Qi Cultivation technique.

“Foundation establishment elders can exchange three Qi Cultivation techniques for free each year.”

Hu Jinshan laughed, pushing the spirit stones back. Chen Mobai truly didn’t know about this rule.

However, considering that there must be several Qi practitioners under the Foundation establishment elder, the Divine Wood Sect probably implemented this rule for the better development of the younger generation.

“Excluding ‘Mountain Chasing Decree,’ give me a copy of the remaining three,” Chen Mobai said, knowing the rule, he didn’t plan to waste it. Hu Jinshan nodded, registered it, swiped the former’s sect nameplate, and gave all three techniques to Zhuo Ming.

“Why are you giving her these? Her realm is too low now, it’s better for her concentrate,” he reminded her.

Chen Mobai remembered when he was studying, wanting a good looking Qi cultivation technique, how his parents ruthlessly refused him with the same reason.

Now he tried relishing the role of a good teacher.

He took the “Wu Earth True Method,” and “Fossil Treasure Scroll” from Zhuo Ming’s hands and put them into his storage bag.

Zhuo Ming pursed her lips, not daring to counter him.

She quickly shoved “Mother Earth Cultivation” into her storage bag, afraid that if she was too slow, her teacher would want to teach it to her layer by layer, and confiscate everything.

Back at Xiao Nanshan, Chen Mobai decreed that she should manage the sixty acres of farmland below the mountain and to take care of the Yuba Lingmi in the spirit fields of Small Yang Ridge.

“I am going to retreat to cultivate the ‘Supreme Sword Dao.’

Unless it is a very important matter, even if the sect leader comes, do not disturb me.”

Zhuo Ming felt both fearful and excited. She worried that she may not handle all these farmlands well, but was exhilarated at the trust her master placed in her.

The “Mother Earth Cultivation” required her to manage these fields. Through the process of farming and nurturing seeds, she could gather a type of spiritual power known as the “Mother Qi of All Things.”

“Right, there’s also a shop and courtyard in Divine Wood City belonging to me that you need to manage. You can start selling the spirit wine and spirit rice. The price is same as in the market. If you have troubles, ask your big senior brother,” said Chen Mobai.

After leaving this statement, he returned to the mountain, activated the cloud mist array, and shut off the peak of Xiao Nanshan.

Returning to the school of immortals, the carefree Chen Mobai had only one thought in mind.

The feeling of being a hands-off store manager was great.

Now that he didn’t need to worry about the Divine Wood Sect, he concentrated on Dance Instruments Daoist Academy’s courses. As he had already established his Foundation, his divine sense significantly exceeded that of the other Qi practitioners.

Despite taking almost half of the year off for his Foundation establishment, he still scored almost full marks in all his subjects during the end-of-year exams.

He came first in all six subjects – two majors and four electives.

Everyone thought it was only to be expected since he was the first one of his batch to establish his Foundation.

Zhongli Tianyu doesn’t count in their minds.

“Really envious of you. With just two months of casual studying, you can score first,” said the others.

After the exams, the little circle of metaphysical class resumed their gatherings. Ming Yuhua sighed while holding a cup of wine and looking at Chen Mobai; he had thought he would be the first to establish his Foundation in their circle.

“How did you cultivate your boundary technique? We’re at a loss.”

Yunyang Bing and Wang Xingyu also came over. The people of their batch, after four years in the Dance Tool Dao Academy and benefiting from the abundant spiritual energy of Crimson Mountain, had basically all reached the ninth layer of Qi cultivation.

However, due to the influence of the God Transformation Cultivation Technique, after extrapolating the formless puppet, to ensure a successful foundation establishment, they all followed the guidance of the successful Chen Mobai to grasp the boundary technique.

But only two people had achieved success, one was Ming Yuhua and the other was named Lan Yufan.

“Well, that’s the difference in innate talent.”

The one who said this was Ming Yuhua. He had already felt the trick to break through the bottleneck and had applied for his own three treasures for foundation building at the end of the year. Adding a bottle of Profound Fire Spirit Liquid, he planned to rent a cultivation room in Building 9 during the holiday, waiting for the mysterious opportunity to challenge the Foundation Building Realm.

Seeing Ming Yuhua being so provocative, the rest of the group naturally refused to admit defeat. They immediately picked up their cups and swarmed over to get him drunk.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

When the party was over, Ming Yuhua coughed several times on the side of the road to get all the alcohol in his stomach out.

“Why did these bastards target me?”

“Lan Yufan and Lu Zixuan were sitting together, a little couple with a girlfriend as a shield. We couldn’t bring ourselves to target them.”

Speaking was Yunyang Bing, and responding to him was a middle finger from Ming Yuhua.

“Here, this is a specially crafted Spirit Gathering Array I made. It can increase your Spirit Vein Level by a small grade. You open up a Rank-3 top-grade, it can help you improve to Rank-4 lower-grade.”

“Awesome, Old Yun, how did you do this?”

Ming Yuhua grabbed the canvas bag from Yunyang Bing’s hand, took out an array plate and eight array flags from it, and couldn’t help but marvel.

They knew that students could apply for a Rank-3 top-grade spirit vein cultivation room at most, and that also needed the teacher’s signature. Only when applying for foundation establishment for the first time would it be approved.

They had been in the Daoist Academy for four years, but they had never experienced a Rank-4 spirit vein.

“You simply can’t tell anyone about this. You should just know for yourself. Don’t spread it. Once the academy knows about it, I guess we both will be punished.”

“Is there something wrong with your array? Did you find a bug in the formation of Building 9?”

“You’re overthinking. This special Spirit Gathering Array is only useful for a very short time. You can only use it at the crucial moment.”

The three sat down on the roadside, talked for a while and in the end Yunyang Bing sighed.

“I can’t believe I’m the last one.”

“Ha ha, it’ll be your turn next year.”

All Chen Mobai could say was that as he asked Ming Yuhua about the task he had entrusted to him.

“How is my Talisman Brush coming along?”

“It’s done. He’ll deliver it himself in a couple of days. But have you prepared the ‘Solidifying Qi Liquid’ to exchange for it?”

“I’ll go exchange it tomorrow. After all, academic points are not that easy to earn.”

Due to the fact that the fruit of the Golden-Edged Jade Bamboo had matured and absorbed all the spiritual energy, causing the bamboo body to wither. After sending it for inspection, it was found that it could not serve as the pen body for a Rank-2 Talisman Brush.

So the Talisman Brush maker introduced by Ming Yuhua added his own materials and used rabbit and wolf hair to help Chen Mobai make two Rank-2 Talisman Brushes, one large and one small.

In exchange, Chen Mobai needed to exchange a portion of ‘Solidifying Qi Liquid’ for the Talisman Brush maker.

After two days.

The Talisman Brush maker arrived. He was also a teenager, a former high school classmate of Ming Yuhua with excellent grades, who had entered the Tian Shu Academy, one of the top ten colleges.

The transaction completed, Ming Yuhua showed him around for two days.

As for Chen Mobai, he had already boarded the train home.

When he left, he followed Qing Nu’s request and used 20 academic points to exchange a ‘Vermillion Fruit’ from the academy’s treasure house to bring back home.

The Vermillion Fruit Tree is a special divine tree unique to Crimson Mountain. Each mountaintop has one planted, and it is a key research object in Spirit Plant classes.

The grades of the Vermillion Fruit Trees vary. The highest-grade Rank-4 Vermillion Fruit, Chen Mobai obviously could not afford.

The Vermillion Fruit he brought home was only Rank-2, but even so, it almost used up all his academic points..
