Chen Mobai looked at the time. There was still more than an hour before the first batch of students finished using the cultivation rooms. He wasn’t in a hurry to leave, so he started to ask more questions about purifying and improving his Spiritual Root.
“There must be someone highly-skilled in Yan Bingxuan’s family. They know that her Spiritual Root can be turned into an ice Spiritual Root through the Frost Condensation Technique. Hence, she has been working hard in this direction since the beginning of her cultivation.”
“With regards to the way to purify and improve one’s Spiritual Root, less time and resources will be spent the lower one’s realm is.”
“She’s already at the late-stage of the Qi Refinement Realm at such a young age. The conservative estimate is that she’ll be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm three times. Hence, she’s trying to transform her Spiritual Root into an ice Spiritual Root before she achieves perfection in the Qi Refinement Realm.”
“Once she succeeds, she will be able to enter Nature College, one of the top ten colleges, without having to take the test. If she takes another step forward, she might even be able to pass the assessment of the four top Dao Colleges and achieve instant success.”
The four top Dao Colleges were established by the five Soul Formation Patriarch who founded the immortal sect.
Every cultivator who graduated from these colleges was a future high-ranking member of the immortal sect.
In the past thousands of years, the success rate of the students from the four top Dao Colleges breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm had exceeded 80 percent.
In Danxia City, a Blessed Land at the edge of the immortal sect, the last person who was admitted to the four top Dao Colleges was the red-robed Perfected One Yu Tianguang from 100 years ago. Now, he had successfully reached the Core Formation Realm.
After leaving Old Man Ding’s office, Chen Mobai waited for more than ten minutes and became the second batch of people to enter the cultivation room.
After putting his cell phone away and turning on the video recording mode in the Auxiliary Cultivation app, he sat quietly in meditation. Then, he once again activated the Qi Nurturing Spell to temper the spiritual energy that he had increased using Spirit Pills and turned into his own.
Time passed slowly. As usual, the Soul Suppressing Spell woke Chen Mobai up.
When he walked out of the cultivation room, there were only a dozen unlucky people left outside.
He looked around and saw his deskmate, Lu Hongsheng, and a few of his classmates whom he got along with. They greeted each other and went home.
In the past, these good friends of his would even drink some spiritual tea together after school and play some games to practice their Dharma spells.
However, after entering the third year of high school, all these entertainment activities had been canceled.
Due to the pressure of going to college, even his deskmate Lu Hongsheng, who had always been lazy due to his poor Spiritual Root, started to work hard.
Before Chen Mobai went home, he had bought a box of glass beads from a convenience store by the road to practice the circulation of his spiritual power.
When he got home, he took advantage of the time he had to cook. Then, he cut some small talismans and logged into the online trading platform. He realized that there was only one cultivator from the same city bidding for the talismans.
The cultivator had offered 18 Karma Points.
It was a little low, but typically, Chen Mobai would definitely agreed to trade. After all, this was a product from a small individual workshop. Thus, it would be cheaper than buying from a regular shop.
However, today, he had to explore the water mansion that the turtle shell had transported him to, so he wasn’t in a hurry to do business.
After eating and washing up, Chen Mobai returned to his room.
He held the turtle shell in his hand and observed it carefully. Just like last night, it was an ordinary old turtle shell. It was covered in traces of being smoked and had no spiritual energy.
If it hadn’t been for yesterday’s magical trip, Chen Mobai would have never believed that this thing was actually a spatial Dharma artifact.
After placing the turtle shell in the drawer of the bedside table, Chen Mobai took out his cell phone and tapped on the app called “Turtle Treasure”.
After a night of exploring, he had some understanding of “Turtle Treasure”.
There were three functions. There was no need to further elaborate on [Return to City]. This function allowed him to return to this place.
As for whether the city referred to his room or the place where the turtle shell was, it remained to be seen.
The other function, [Teleport], was closely related to the [Return to City] function. Based on Chen Mobai’s understanding, this was the culprit who had sent him to the mysterious water mansion yesterday.
The last function, [Representative], was the only one he had no clue about.
Obviously, the three functions could not be used indefinitely. Only when the virtual buttons of the three functions in the software lit up would there be a reaction when he tapped on them. Now, only [Teleport] was lit up.
The night before, Chen Mobai had waited till three in the morning. When he realized this, he had once again used the [Teleportation] function to go to the water mansion.
However, he still found nothing. However, after cultivating the Rank-2 spiritual energy for a night, the side effects of taking the pills had been reduced by 50 to 60 percent.
Chen Mobai estimated that if he went into seclusion to cultivate for another two or three days in the water mansion, he would be able to get rid of the hidden dangers of breaking through after taking the pills. Then, he would be able to cultivate the Five Elements Technique again and raise his level in the Qi Refinement Realm.
It was also because of this that Chen Mobai had the courage to return to the water mansion and even attempt to break the restrictions in the back hall.
This was a middle-grade Rank-2 spiritual land. If one wanted to rent leyline spiritual energy of this level from the immortal sect, they would have to spend 160 Karma Points every month.
In other words, every day that Chen Mobai cultivated in the water mansion was equivalent to earning 5.33 Karma Points for free. It was a pity that he had to work so hard to cut the talismans but only earned 20 to 30 Karma Points a month.
With this in mind, it was no wonder that Chen Mobai had turned his nose up at his small online workshop.
“According to yesterday’s two round trips, [Teleport] should have a cooldown time of six hours. Meanwhile, [Return to City] should have a longer cooldown time of ten hours. The cooldown time starts from the last time the function was used.”
Chen Mobai made a mental calculation of the two trips that he had experienced the night before and came to a preliminary conclusion.
Half an hour later, exactly 10 hours after he had teleported back, the [Return to City] button popped up and lit up in his eyes.
This way, he could return immediately if he realized something was wrong.
Chen Mobai immediately hung the “Do Not Disturb” sign on his door and locked it. Then, he took a deep breath and pressed the [Teleport] button on his phone.
[Do you wish to select Destination 1 (Unnamed)?]
Chen Mobai selected [Yes].
Following this, a silver light flashed and he seemed to have turned into light. After about five to six seconds, he disappeared from the room.
He looked up.
Looking at the familiar underwater environment, Chen Mobai suppressed the joy in his heart.
Although he didn’t know where he was, at least he had a middle-grade Rank-2 secret base.
He took out the box of glass beads that he had prepared beforehand and poured his spiritual power into it. The originally transparent beads started to bloom with colorful lights. This was because of the combination of the five attributes and the spiritual power that Chen Mobai cultivated.
The Five Elements Technique was a basic technique that a Soul Formation Patriarch from the immortal sect had spent 1,000 years developing. When any cultivator cultivated, the technique would automatically transform and take on a spiritual energy attribute that was most suitable for them. It was equivalent to custom-made a Qi Refinement technique for every cultivator, and it was also the most suitable for their physique and Spiritual Root.
For example, Chen Mobai’s Spiritual Root attribute values were: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 23, Fire 17, and Earth 10.
In that case, 23 percent of the spiritual power he would generate from cultivating the Five Elements Technique would be of the metal attribute, 27 percent of it would be of the wood attribute, and so on. It would be a perfect match for his Spiritual Root.
Furthermore, these five elements were interlinked and could increase one’s realm during cultivation. This was the reason why immortal sects were able to survive in a place like Planet Earth, where resources were scarce. It was also the reason why all the people were able to cultivate.
