Chapter 399: Chapter 299: Short Teleportation Talisman_2
That would be better; after all, deliberate actions often leave traces and might end up revealing her intentions, resulting in repulsion.
Initially Luo Yixuan only wanted to find a backer to avoid being affected should the Luo family collapse.
But after honestly becoming a disciple and interacting, she wondered if her unhappy childhood was actually destined for this turning point.
She could hardly believe that such a talented and responsible mentor exists in this world.
If she had known earlier, she would have implored him back at Bud Hall, no, at Southstream Market. That way, she would have been the eldest disciple now.
[Eh, wait a minute, mom once told me that men prefer younger ones, being the youngest disciple might be even better.]
Luo Yixuan thought to herself, determinately resolving not to be expelled from Xiao Nanshan. She would demonstrate her worth!
The behaviour of concealing her abilities for half of her life should change now. She will aim to attain a true disciple position in the sect’s annual competition next year to honour her master.
However, Chen Mobai was completely oblivious to his youngest disciple’s inner turmoil.
After climbing the mountain, he activated the Cloud Mist Array to seal the peak and then returned to the Immortal Gate through the Turtle Treasure.
He traded this year’s study points for a Vermillion Fruit which he gave to Wang Xingyu, along with three Bamboo Fruits and Spiritual Extracts he acquired from Zeng Woyou. However, he still needed two more Vermillion Fruits and ran out of study points.
But Chen Mobai had a plan. He couldn’t let his power as the Student Council president go to waste.
Treasure Trove, Student Council’s central square.
Nearly half of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from the Dance Tool Dao Academy had gathered.
As it was the end of the year, they could exchange study points for Device Pieces to unlock the Device Nurturing Sphere.
However, this year many students looking to unlock spheres went stirring relationships trying to get Chen Mobai’s help.
At the end of last year, he helped Ming Yuhua unveil a Mysterious Yang Cauldron which made him famous. After all, Chen Mobai outshone Ming Yu, the vice-president of the Student Council who was rumored to be the top Spirit Eye in the Daoist Academy.
Because of this incident, the Student Council’s reputation plummeted.
If it were not for the previous president, Zuo Qiushi, who selflessly convinced Chen Mobai to take his position and become the Student Council president, there would hardly be any Foundation Establishment True Cultivators in the Dance Tool Dao Academy taking the Student Council seriously now.
And this year, the opening of Little Red Sky, with Chen Mobai, the undefeated chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, known as the “Battle Law Victory”, made his reputation soar.
It’s for this reason that the True Cultivators seeking favors from Chen Mobai offered quite decent gifts.
“This Short Teleportation Talisman is from Senior Jing Zuyin. He was also in the Student Council, but he graduated several years ago and wants you to help with a few Device Nurturing Spheres.”
In the president’s office on the third floor, Chen Mobai patted the little white cat in his arms, his desk full of gift boxes. Hua Zijing, seated opposite, unwrapped one of them and took out a silver, shining talisman, introducing with a look of envy.
“You’re still lacking professional experience. If we really need to help senior Jing Zuyin, you should have started by showing me a few very ordinary things that I wouldn’t be interested in. When I became disappointed, reveal this Short Teleportation Talisman. This way, the mission would have been practically accomplished.”
Seeing Hua Zijing’s full-of-traces speech, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but think of his own little disciple. The comparison just showed how enormous the gap was.
But he can’t blame Hua Zijing, after all, she has only gained experience in the small group of the Student Council for five to six years only. On the other hand, Luo Yixuan had spent more than twenty years in the cruel Immortal Cultivation world of the Tianhe Realm in fear.
The knack she cultivated in that environment certainly outmatched Hua Zijing’s.
“Just tell me if you can help.”
Being looked down upon by Chen Mobai, Hua Zijing was frustrated and slapped the Short Teleportation Talisman on the table, grumbling.
Seeking help from others is indeed not her forte. If it wasn’t for Jing Zuyin treating her well when she just joined the Student Council, she wouldn’t have done this.
“Of course I will help. This Small Teleportation Talisman is the most popular talisman in the Rank-2 class. It deals with the Space Path. Since senior Jing gave out this, it’s not just a few Device Nurturing Spheres. Even if it were ten of those spheres, I’ll help him appraise them.”
The Small Teleportation Talisman is the best-selling Rank-2 talisman at the Immortal Gate. When used, it would teleport the user to a previously set location.
Moreover, it’s not a one-time thing—it can be used repeatedly.
This is akin to a simplified version of the Turtle Treasure; first, mark a place, then use the Short Teleportation Talisman, and you can teleport there anytime, anywhere.
However, the distance is limited, generally only within a hundred kilometers.
Even so, it’s the favorite of many Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Because there are always occasions when urgency is met, using the Short Teleportation Talisman at these times can allow them to quickly return home, to work, or to school.
After all, a hundred kilometers is already enough to encompass half of the Crimson City cave sky.
After receiving it, Chen Mobai set it up on the spot in this office. He planned to go back to his wooden house tonight and try this Short Teleportation Talisman and Turtle Treasure’s teleportation difference tomorrow morning.
Upon hearing this, Hua Zijing immediately said that Jing Zuyin was already waiting in the meeting room on the second floor, and the Student Union officials like Ming Yu were also there. They said they wanted to observe the president’s great skills and learn a lot.
Chen Mobai wasn’t afraid of them stealing his techniques, after all, this Void Spirit Eye was purely cultivated by resources with no tricks.
Jing Zuyin has a scraggly beard. It seemed he had been secluded in the Treasure Trove for a bit too long, as two holes were worn in his clothes. But his personality was similar to Zuo Qiushi’s, being direct and straightforward. Upon seeing Chen Mobai enter the room, he immediately placed the six Device Nurturing Spheres he brought onto the table.
Chen Mobai didn’t waste any time. After checking all of them for him, he compared them with the image data in the Map of Treasures and confirmed four of them.
The other two were not in the Map of Treasures, but based on the shape of the magic artifact seen by the Void Spirit Eye, the Student Union compared it with the records of the graduating classes and still came up with results, effectively supplementing the Map of Treasures with information on two artifacts.
Jing Zuyin was also astounded by this, acknowledging that hearing about something is not as good as seeing it. Chen Mobai’s Art of Spiritual Eyes could even rank among the top level of Foundation Establishment stage in the entire Immortal Gate.
Eventually, Jing Zuyin chose a Rank-2 top-grade Pine Stone Inkstone Stage. He came to the balcony of the Student Union’s Western-style building with the Device Nurturing Sphere. According to the annual tradition, he inserted the Device Piece in front of everyone in the square.
The result was naturally identical to what Chen Mobai saw with his Void Spirit Eye.
After the Fire Godlight disappeared, a green inkstone stage with exquisite stone quality, silky texture, and refined ink color landed in Jing Zuyin’s hands.
He is a Rank-2 Talisman Maker. This inkstone stage complements his abilities perfectly.
After this great start, Chen Mobai was ready to reap the benefits.
The True Cultivators of the Daoist Academy who had exchanged for the Device Pieces this year had all spent a hundred study points and naturally wanted to make the best use of them, not wanting to waste the large investment that had taken so hard to accumulate over the years.
This was a sunk cost.
Chen Mobai instructed Hua Zijing to return all the gifts except for the Short Teleportation Talisman to the givers. It’s not because he is upright and doesn’t want to accept gifts, but because he believes it should be a long-term transaction, allowing it to flow continuously at a slow pace.
“Would they agree to this?”
Hua Zijing looked sceptical after hearing Chen Mobai’s words.
“You can convey my intentions. Those who agree will naturally be willing to come to us.”
The condition for Chen Mobai to help people see Device Nurturing Spheres with his Void Spirit Eye was simple, just like the Map of Treasures. As one of the symbols of the Student Union, each use costs one study point.
It was fortunate that he was now the president of the Student Union and controlled the Map of Treasures, and held the authority to trade study points. Otherwise, even if the Void Spirit Eye technique was cultivated to the top level, he would not be able to trade for study points from other True Cultivators.
As expected, after the news that Chen Mobai would examine one Device Nurturing Sphere for one study point was released, the doors of the Student Union were soon trampled flat.
At the entrance to Chen Mobai’s office, the True Cultivators who had exchanged Device Pieces this year lined up in an orderly fashion despite Hua Zijing’s disbelief. Some held two or three Device Nurturing Spheres, while others carried a whole sackful, probably around a dozen or more.
Hua Zijing counted; there were sixteen people, equivalent to the number of Device Pieces exchanged by the academy this year.
That is to say, apart from a few people who just established their foundation this year, the rest were all here.
The President is going to make a fortune!
