After class.
Chen Mobai didn’t fall behind a step. Relying on his faster Propulsion Technique, after solidifying his realm, he snatched a spot in the first batch to use the Cultivation Room.
He wanted to go to the Water Mansion quickly today to verify the reason behind the strange ripple that occurred during his normally smooth cultivation – if it was genuinely due to the fish.
In the two hours inside the Cultivation Room, he didn’t waste time, carefully reading the email Chan Si sent him.
After receiving the full content of Detailed Explanation of Azure Aquatic Formation, this Formation teacher did not disappoint him. After he understood and integrated what he had learned himself, he created a very detailed Formation decomposition material, starting from the five basic Formations of this Rank-2 Formation – Gathering Souls, Concealment, Detail, Water Control…
Chen Mobai, who had personally practiced the Azure Water Formation, found it very easy to comprehend.
By comparing his own exploration and practice with the Array Flag in these two days against the detailed explanations in the teaching materials, he quickly gained a basic understanding of this Rank-2 Formation.
Two hours passed quickly.
The alarm sounded, arousing the engrossed Chen Mobai from his studies.
“Teacher Chan is a very engaging speaker.”
Chen Mobai murmured to himself, recalling Chan Si’s usually dull lectures in the classroom, and wholly unaware of his disinterest in topics discussed in class.
People are always like this. Even Cultivators, if interested in something, they will work relentlessly to understand it thoroughly.
Getting up and leaving the Cultivation Room, Chen Mobai stretched lazily and looked around, then suddenly froze in his tracks.
He didn’t know why, but it seemed like a stroke of good luck.
To his left, coming out of another Cultivation Room, was Yan Bingxuan.
She seemed even colder after not seeing her for several days. She had probably started formally cultivating the Frost Condensation Technique, which began transforming her Spiritual Root into ice.
To the right of Chen Mobai’s Cultivation Room, another genius from his class, Song Zheng appeared.
He probably didn’t get a slot for the first batch of Rank-2 Cultivation Rooms today, so he settled for a Rank-1 one for now.
“…”
Chen Mobai was not in the same social circle as the two of them and didn’t know how to greet them.
After an awkward silence, it was Song Zheng who opened his mouth first.
“Yan Bingxuan, I still think your choice is a mistake. With your talent, if you are committed to improving your realm and learning this semester, you should at least participate in the entrance exam for the Great Dao Academy. You might even pass, stepping into the gateway of dragons.”
But Song Zheng completely ignored Chen Mobai and spoke to Yan Bingxuan with a calm face.
“Summer insects cannot be talked into understanding ice!”
With this, the increasingly cold ‘beauty’, Yan, said something that made Song Zheng furrow his brows and nearly lose his temper.
“I have received Master Ding’s inheritance and also have a method of transforming my Spiritual Root physique into a Triple Yang Body. But I believe that my limit is not the Pure Yang Academy. Only the Four Great Daoist Academies are the places I should go.”
Song Zheng’s words made Chen Mobai silent.
This guy is way too confident.
If he could get into one of the Ten Great Academies, the Pure Yang Academy, his mom could casually visit neighbours and brag about this for a lifetime.
But to Song Zheng, with a confidence that was almost shining, Yan, the super beautiful lady, said another proverb.
“A frog at the bottom of a well!”
Song Zheng’s anger was now barely in control.
Upon checking the time, Chen Mobai was about to leave without greeting the two people who ignored him, but he suddenly found himself stuck between them.
“Goodness, I bet those two will sort it out at the sports field.”
However, before Chen Mobai had a chance to leave, he was caught by Lu Hongsheng, his desk mate. A circle of classmates gathered around them, watching Song Zheng with clenched fists proposing a Spell exchange with Yan Bingxuan.
Fighting and brawling is, of course, not allowed in the school.
But the exchange and learning of Spells are encouraged.
Between the top students, this is often an excuse to prove who is the strongest.
“I have something to do today, so I’ll leave first. Inform me about the outcome of their duel later.”
Although Chen Mobai was quite interested in witnessing the exchange between the two top students of his class—one at the later stage of Qi cultivation—he considered his schedule for the night and decided not to waste precious time on spectating.
Lu Hongsheng’s attention was entirely on the two top students and he responded nonchalantly. By the time Lu realized, Chen Mobai had already disappeared.
“This kid has been kind of weird lately.”
“Yeah, after training, he’s always the first one to take off.”
“Could he be dating someone?”
As the two beauties across the table were speaking, Lu shivered, realizing that it made sense.
“Hurry up, our beautiful Yan have agreed.”
However, before they could delve further, Yan Bingxuan had already sneered and turned towards the sports field.
Magical duels, in order to avoid damaging the venue, must be held in areas designated and protected by the school.
The sports field was one of them.
After running out of the school, Chen Mobai promptly put this minor matter out of his mind.
On his way home, he noticed a pharmacy and walked in.
The pharmacy was not large, but it was well-stocked. Oddly enough, no one was behind the counter.
Chen Mobai had no choice but to walk around and find what he wanted to buy himself.
“Hello, is anyone here?”
However, after searching around, he didn’t find the spiritual power test paper that he could use to measure spiritual power properties. So Chen Mobai shouted towards the back door.
“Coming!”
A crisp response echoed, the back door was opened, and a girl in white clothes, with her hair tied up and wearing a white hat and mask, walked out. Although only half of her face was visible, her pitch-black, bright eyes, full of charm and vitality, were captivating.
Chen Mobai had never seen such pure and clear eyes before. Just like her clothes, she was flawless and pure.
“Hello there, customer, what do you need?”
“Where is the spiritual power test paper? I can’t find it.”
“Please wait a moment, these are kept inside the cabinet. I will get it for you.”
The girl in white had quite elegant features, and her skin was pale as snow. The mask she wore only served to enhance her beauty. Chen Mobai couldn’t help but look at her a couple more times while talking.
After they finished speaking, the girl in white turned around and walked to the cabinet near the entrance. Her figure was graceful. However, the faint smell of medicinal herbs emanating from her body caused Chen Mobai to frown and cover his nose with his fingers.
He had suffered from a serious illness in his childhood and had taken medicine for several years. Therefore, he wasn’t fond of the smell of herbs.
“How many do you need?”
The girl in white came over with an opened box of spiritual power test paper. At that moment, she noticed Chen Mobai’s action of blocking his nose with his finger. Her bright-black eyes flashed with astonishment.
“Five would be sufficient, thank you.”
Chen Mobai, with his other hand, took out five papers from the box the girl was holding, then quickly walked to the entrance to make his payment via scanning a code.
“Sorry, I was in the back preparing the ‘Returning Primordial Spirit Water’. Due to my inadequate skills, there is a strong smell of medicine on me.”
As the girl’s words reached him from behind, Chen Mobai turned back to see her. She was standing still, not following him, and her eyes were filled with regret.
“Oh, are you an alchemist?”
According to the rules of the Immortal Gate, only those who have passed the professional examination for alchemists are allowed to concoct medicinal substances.
There are diverse methods for concocting elixirs, but on Earth, the most popular is the Water Method Alchemy.
Alchemy using fire often vaporizes some of the medicinal herb’s spiritual energy, resulting in wastage. In contrast, Water Method Alchemy focuses on refinement, ensuring higher utility and mild properties of the resulting potion. Most of these concoctions are quick-acting and virtually free of side effects when ingested or injected.
“Returning Primordial Spirit Water” is a Rank-1 medicinal fluid that can be consumed orally. It is capable of restoring the spiritual power of a cultivator in the Qi Cultivating Realm.
