Chen Mobai’s parents worked hard throughout the year, but in the end, they only earned about 50,000 Karma Points.

Meanwhile, the two Spirit Stones in his hand were equivalent to half a year’s income.

No wonder he had lost his composure.

It was because Chen Mobai had never touched a Spirit Stone in his life. If it weren’t for the detailed descriptions of Spirit Stone in textbooks and movies, he probably wouldn’t have recognized it.

At this moment, Chen Mobai felt that this water mansion might no longer be in the territory controlled by the immortal sect.

Suppressing his trembling hands, he placed the Spirit Stones on his clothes. Then, he took out his phone and took a photo of the first thirty pages of “Explanations of the Jade Water Array”.

Chen Mobai was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to bring these things back when he returned to the city.

He would take a photo of the book with his phone. At least he could study the knowledge at school when the time came.

He tied a knot in his clothes and hugged it to his chest. Then, Chen Mobai opened the “Turtle Treasure” app on his phone and pressed the Return to City button.

The silver light flashed for a while. Then, Chen Mobai opened his eyes and found himself sitting on the bed.

He looked at the clock on the wall. It was exactly half an hour before class started.

The heavy feeling on his hands made him even more excited.

He had brought everything back!

He opened the clothes and placed them on the floor one by one. After checking them again, Chen Mobai couldn’t control the excitement in his heart. He couldn’t help but jump onto the bed and do a somersault.

Fortunately, when the house was being built, a soundproof restriction had been set up. Otherwise, the noise alone would have awakened his parents.

After venting his excitement, Chen Mobai opened his cabinet and hid the Spirit Stones, crossbows, short knives, and other items that could easily arouse suspicion into the back.

Then, he took out his bag that he had not used for a long time and put the gold and books inside.

Finally, all that was left was the needle case used by the young man in brown.

Chen Mobai looked hesitant. This thing was undoubtedly a real Dharma artifact, but he did not know its grade.

He didn’t know how to use it either. Thus, the best way was to sell it online.

However, on the immortal sect network, the transaction of second-hand artifacts required certification.

When it came to immortal cultivation items, especially Dharma artifacts, more than 80 percent of them were secondhand goods.

In order to ensure the order of the Dharma artifact trading market, the immortal sect issued certificates to cultivators who passed the Dharma Artifact Appraisal Assessment. They stipulated that before every Dharma artifact was traded, a treasure appraiser had to issue a confirmation letter.

For every deal, the treasure appraiser had to re-evaluate the Dharma artifact, determine its depletion, and the number of years it could be used for.

Of course, the official rules were one thing. The actual deal was another.

This was especially true for Rank-1 Dharma artifacts. Some low-grade Dharma artifacts were not valuable enough to warrant hiring a treasure appraiser. Therefore, there were still some products that lacked certification circulating in the market.

However, if an artifact wanted to be traded and sold for a good price, apprisal was an indispensable step.

In particular, Dharma artifacts of Rank-2 and above were extremely valuable. Basically, only after a treasure appraiser took a look at them would cultivators dare to buy them.

It was also because of this that the profession of “treasure appraiser” had the most candidates among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.

After buying the three Green Arrow Talismans, Chen Mobai was already poor. He did not have any extra Karma Points to hire a treasure appraiser with a qualification certificate. Therefore, he could only put this needle box aside for now. He would deal with it when he had money, or he could use it himself after fumbling around.

However, even so, Chen Mobai still put the needle box in his bag and took it to school.

This was the first real Dharma artifact he had in his life.

Carrying his bag stuffed with wealth, Chen Mobai went downstairs and threw the fish into the sink. Then, he heated up two pieces of cornbread for breakfast and went straight to school.

It happened to be the array formation teacher’s turn to teach today.

The teacher’s surname was Chan. She was a young intern teacher. It was said that she was a cultivator from Danzhu College.

Although this teacher’s qualifications were the lowest in the entire Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect , Chen Mobai felt that her teaching level was the best… One of the best, that was.

If not for the fact that there was a Foundation Establishment Realm principal teaching in the school, Chen Mobai would not have called her “one of the best”.

It was probably because she was young and her thoughts were similar to those of the students. At least, every time she explained the array formations, she would explain the complex knowledge points simply, and her examples would be vivid.

It was also because of this that even though Chen Mobai did not typically pay much attention to array formations, he could basically remember everything that Teacher Chan had taught him.

Thanks to this, Chen Mobai was able to repair the Jade Water Array and reactivate it.

Teacher Chan was good-looking and had a good figure, but she didn’t smile much. She was rather. serious when teaching. Otherwise, she would be more popular.

However, there were basically no ugly cultivators.

After all, after cultivating for generations, their bodies had already evolved to the point of perfection. It was just that things like Spiritual Roots were arranged by the heavens and relied purely on luck. There was no way around it. However, getting a beautiful appearance would only delay a few years of Qi Refinement.

There were even some cultivators who would deliberately go to the hospital for plastic surgery to prove their firm Dao Heart. They would make their faces extremely ugly to show that they had no other thoughts other than the Dao.

For example, Chen Mobai had an uncle from the same family. When he was young, he was extremely handsome. When he was setting up a stall on the street, he accidentally appeared in a video that was posted online. He became an internet celebrity overnight.

However, his cultivation heart was firm. In the face of countless film companies that came knocking on his door, he went straight to the hospital to make his face look plain and ordinary.

Although his Spiritual Root aptitude was ordinary, he had also entered the Spiritual Pivot Academy, which was one of the 120 colleges. Now, he buried his head in the mountains every day and excavated the ruins of ancient cultivators for conservation research.

The morning’s array formation lesson passed quickly while Chen Mobai was focused on reading “Explanations of the Jade Water Array”.

After class, he used the same trick again. He pretended to be a step behind and entered Teacher Chan’s office.

He used the same excuse that his parents had hired a private tutor to improve his college entrance examination results. He had some after-school homework regarding the repair of array formations that he had to complete alone. However, he was really muddle-headed and could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. Thus, he could only come over to consult his teacher.

However, Chan Si was different from Old Ding. After hearing Chen Mobai’s words and taking the draft paper that Chen Mobai had written the grade of the Jade Water Array on, she frowned slightly.

“With your strength, would this private tutor dare to leave you with homework for a Rank-2 array formation?”

“It’s just a matter of restoring the array formation after repairing it. In fact, my private teacher has already taught me the entire array formation.”

Chen Mobai tried to explain.

“Oh…”

Chan Si glanced at him and smiled meaningfully, but she did not say anything. She picked up his fountain pen and prepared to answer all the questions on the draft paper to show her strength as a teacher.

However, just as she finished looking at her completed answers, she realized that with her knowledge reserves, she actually did not know where to start.

“Eh, why is the array formation taught by your private tutor so different from the mainstream teachings of the immortal sect? It’s almost two different systems.”
