“Indeed, school benefits are better. A superior-grade Level 1 spiritual energy cultivation room can be used for free for two hours a day.”
Chen Mobai thought about how during the holidays, in order to help him break through, his mother had gritted her teeth and used her Karma Points to raise the leyline spiritual energy in the house to superior-grade Rank-1. Even then, the Spiritual Energy Value was only 7, and would occasionally fluctuate to 8 or 9.
Meanwhile, the Fifth High School of the Immortal Sect was built on top of an inferior-grade Rank-3 spiritual vein and had a total of 300 cultivation rooms.
After all, these students were the future flowers of the immortal sect. The school couldn’t let them starve.
Of the 300 cultivation rooms, the first-, second-, and third-year students used 100 rooms each. They enjoyed inferior-, middle-, and superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy respectively.
The third-year students had it the hardest. After all, the concentration of spiritual energy in these cultivation rooms were already at the peak of Rank-1.
The cultivation room was simple and square. There was only a futon in the middle of the blue stone floor.
Chen Mobai did not waste any time. He put his cell phone away and turned on the video recording mode in the Auxiliary Cultivation app. Then, he sat on the futon and started to refine the spiritual energy.
Since he had just broken through to Qi Refinement Level-5, and had relied on the power of pills, his realm was unstable. In the last two hours, he had not cultivated the Five Elements Internal Technique. He had only circulated the most basic Qi Nurturing Spell.
Streams of warm currents flowed through his meridians. The pale white spiritual energy that was about to turn into clouds in the cultivation room was like a long dragon that surged into Chen Mobai’s nose and mouth. It fused with his increased spiritual power and slowly integrated with it, turning into his true strength.
He was immediately immersed in this feeling, unable to extricate himself.
Time passed slowly.
There was a loud clang!
The Soul Suppressing Spell in the cultivation room woke Chen Mobai up from his cultivation. No matter how reluctant he was to leave, he remembered that his classmates had been waiting outside for a long time. He could only pick up his cell phone and walk out of the cultivation room.
As soon as he came out, a female classmate who was at the front of the queue immediately rushed in, swiped her card, and shut the door.
He wasn’t the only one. Ninety-nine other third-year students also reluctantly walked out of the cultivation rooms.
Among them was Chen Mobai’s deskmate, Lu Hongsheng.
“Oh, you’re in luck. You were actually the first batch of students to use the rooms.”
After greeting him, Chen Mobai realized that Lu Hongsheng’s expression was gloomy and unhappy.
“Do you know what I just saw?”
“What?”
Chen Mobai knew that Lu Hongsheng couldn’t keep a secret. After a while, Lu Hongsheng took the initiative to speak.
“I saw Song Zheng enter a Rank-2 spiritual vein cultivation room.”
“A Rank-2 spiritual vein cultivation room? Isn’t that exclusive to teachers? Who would allow Song Zheng to use their cultivation room?”
Of course, the school not only had cultivation rooms for students, but also high-end cultivation rooms specially for teachers.
Apart from the Rank-3 cultivation room that belonged exclusively to the principal, who was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the other ten Rank-2 cultivation rooms required even the teachers to queue up for their turn.
The fact that Song Zheng was able to enter a Rank-2 cultivation room meant that a teacher had given him their cultivation resources.
“Who else could it be? It must be Old Man Ding. He has failed twice in achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm and doesn’t have much time left. He’s focused on his education career. When he saw that Song Zheng had hopes of entering the four top Dao Colleges, he gave him his share of the Rank-2 cultivation room.”
As he said this, Lu Hongsheng was green with envy.
He wished that he was Song Zheng.
“This is so unfair. The school doesn’t even care.”
As the two of them spoke, a few of their classmates at the side heard them. One of the boys was indignant.
Although there was no such thing as fairness in society, in school, the people of the management class still tacitly maintained fairness on the surface.
Although a teacher had shared their own share of cultivation resources to a student, the real ownership of the cultivation room still belonged to the school. This was already unfair to the students. If they reported this to the Academic Affairs Office, at least it would create a storm.
“What do you know? I heard that Song Zheng has officially become Teacher Ding’s disciple during the holidays. He’s registered in the inheritance hall of the immortal sect’s Ministry of Education, and they are now master and disciple. The master has given the resources to the disciple, so even the administrative office can’t interfere.”
One of the female students, who had a faithful expression on her face, said to the male student who was about to make a complaint.
Song Zheng was good-looking and a young genius. Thus, he was quite popular among the girls.
Chen Mobai was silently envious too.
If he were to cultivate for a semester with a Rank-2 spiritual vein, he was confident that he would be able to advance to Qi Refinement Rank-6. Students of this level would not be able to enter the four top Dao Colleges, but it was still possible for them to enter second-tier Dao Colleges. Furthermore, they could choose any third-tier Dao College.
He also had a True Spiritual Root. Why hadn’t any teacher taken a fancy to him?
It could only be said that there were differences between True Spirit Roots.
“You guys can chat. I’m going home. See you tomorrow.”
Chen Mobai still had the desire to improve himself. Although he felt that this was unfair, he had no intention of getting involved in these disputes.
After he finished using the free time in the school’s cultivation room, he rushed home. After all, his mother had forked out a lot to buy half a year’s worth of superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy just so that he could get good results in the college entrance examination.
He couldn’t waste his mother’s effort.
When Chen Mobai went home, there was no one present.
His dad and mom were both working hard to support the family. In particular, after renting the spiritual vein for half a year, they had to work overtime even more and would return home late every day.
First, Chen Mobai cooked a pot of spiritual rice. Then, in his mother’s office, he cut up pieces of yellow paper and made them into standard paper talismans that were 12 centimeters long and 6 centimeters wide.
By the time the spiritual rice was cooked, Chen Mobai had already cut more than a hundred blank talismans.
He counted 12 sheets and stacked them one by one. Then he tied them up with a special spirit rope. He arranged six stacks of talismans into two rows and placed them into the package.
The cost of this kind of large talisman was 1 Karma Point. If it was cut and packaged, it could be sold for 2 Karma Points. After some calculation, he would earn about 1 Karma Point for each box.
In order to supplement the family income, Chen Mobai would do whatever he could.
He arranged the two boxes of packed talismans neatly on the table. Together with the eight boxes that he had previously cut, they made up a total of ten boxes, which filled the whole table.
He took out his cell phone and took more than ten pictures from different angles. Then, he selected a few of the better-looking ones and placed them in the online market that the immortal sect had officially opened.
Normally, there would be a steady stream of bidders throughout the week in the mainland. At that point, Chen Mobai would choose the highest bidder to sell the talismans to.
Because he couldn’t afford the teleportation fees, he had limited the sale of his goods to face-to-face transactions in Danxia City.
The public transport in the city was well-developed and his student card allowed him to use it for free.
After he had eaten the spiritual rice that was as plump as jade, Chen Mobai cast a cleaning spell to clean up the pots and pans. Then, he returned to his bedroom.
Even though a cultivation room had been specially constructed at the entrance of the underground leyline pipe that transported spiritual energy, Chen Mobai still liked to cultivate spiritual energy in his own room.
After all, as long as the door of the cultivation room was open, the superior-grade Rank-1 spiritual energy would spread to every room in the house. Even if the windows were open, the spiritual seal throughout the house would firmly lock the leyline spiritual energy in the house, so there was no need to worry about wastage.
Of course, the expanded range was also why the concentration of spiritual energy in the house was not as high as the cultivation room in school.
However, Chen Mobai was already very satisfied.
He resisted the urge to scroll through his cell phone and watch livestreams. He didn’t want to think about those little fairies dancing and singing. He calmed himself down and sat cross-legged on his bed, preparing to cultivate. Suddenly, he saw a turtle shell on the bedside table.
“Really, Mom, why did you bring such an unlucky thing?!”
