Chapter 487: Chapter 340 Breakthrough_2
After he posted the application form and email address in the group, he instructed Zhuang Jialan, who was managing the mailbox, about the matter, and then he left it be.
Because he started busy helping others to identify the “Device Nurturing Spheres”.
Since he was about to lead a team to the Jumang Daoist Academy very soon, he would probably not be in the Treasure Trove at the end of the year, so he moved this process ahead of time.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter if they are identified first before being opened.
Once he set up his “gold-sign” with his Void Spirit Eye, the news was published, and many who missed out last year were crowding at the entrance of the student union, each with a sack of ‘Device Nurturing Spheres’.
Initially, those to be identified were the people from the Metaphysical Class who had some connections.
They were all newly established Foundation Establishers and could receive a device piece for free.
This year, they found several nurturing spheres in the Treasure Trove after looking for a long time. Plus, due to Chen Mobai’s connections, they could freely consult the Map of Treasures. Each person successively found three to four nurturing spheres to present.
After Chen Mobai had identified each one, both Gong Ranran and Fan Yuanpu had beaming faces on the spot, unsealing Rank-2 superior Magical Artifacts.
The remaining four people, however, did not use the device pieces on Chen Mobai’s advice as the goods they found were very ordinary.
After identifying them for the Metaphysical Class fellow students, Chen Mobai began to open doors for regular business.
However, the doorkeeper changed from Hua Zijing to the current Zhuang Jialan.
One by one, True Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment came in, some were overjoyed while others were gloomy and upset.
But compared to directly opening and getting a common and incompatible Rank-2 magical artifact, at least they all have a chance to choose again.
Since the exchange of the device pieces was not until the end of the year, even those True Cultivators who had identified the magical artifacts they wanted had no way to open them now.
After all the people had finished the identification, Chen Mobai organized another exchange meeting, picked out some well-identified magical artifacts that were not appropriate for the owners and introduced them to other suitable people.
After this round of discussion, basically most people got the magic artifacts they were satisfied with.
The remaining few had to accept their bad luck. They again went to the Treasure Trove to search everywhere, to see if they could find the suitable ones before the end of the year.
After this identification conference, Chen Mobai’s account was directly credited with 186 school points, a full 100 more points than last year.
One school point for identifying one “Device Nurturing Sphere”. After making a name for himself last year, he finally had a good harvest this year. And it will be more and more in the visible next three years.
But it is also exhausting.
Continuous operation of the Void Spirit Eye consumes a great deal of Divine Sense and Spiritual Power. Only because of the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew and the warm flow of Life Tree Juice, he could finish all the identification within three days.
When Chen Mobai had no school points, he felt extreme pain.
But when he had school points and couldn’t spend them, he felt even more pain.
Chen Mobai felt that this was not good. Since Wang Xingyu was in closed-door cultivation for his Foundation Establishment, the three bamboo fruits in his possession should be refined by Qing Nu. That means, it was better to exchange the other medicinal materials before going to Jumang Daoist Academy.
But as it was not the right time, Luo Hezheng, who was in charge of the Academy’s storage, would not make exceptions for anyone.
Chen Mobai had no choice but to turn to Che Yucheng.
“Teacher, I believe that those who are representing the Daoist Academy to participate in offline exchanges and matches should exchange some elixirs and spiritual objects in advance. After all, we are the facade of Dance Tool Dao Academy. Once we could make a breakthrough with these elixirs, perhaps we could bring honor to the Daoist Academy during the exchange.”
Chen Mobai was naturally apprehensive to say that he wanted to exchange the vermillion fruit. Thus, he found an impressive excuse and even obtained signatures of approval from most people.
Seeing the application form signed by all members of the student union and many in-school Foundation Establishment cultivators, Che Yucheng had a smile in his eyes.
“I will discuss this matter at the teachers’ meeting this week. If the vote passes, Luo Hezheng will not stop you anymore.”
Che Yucheng always handles things reasonably in a respected manner.
Although he could force Luo Hezheng to obey with his position as the director of the academic affairs office, he won’t do that. To avoid bias, he might even vote against it.
Chen Mobai was a bit confused. However, Che Yucheng’s next sentence brightened his eyes.
“If you are doing this on behalf of your team, it may be hard to pass the meeting. But if you use your team as a pretext to allow the Academy’s storage exchange to be open to all students in advance, I think no one will refuse.”
Chen Mobai immediately understood the hint in Che Yucheng’s words.
Raising hands to cast votes is essentially adopting what the majority wants!
If this benefits the majority, then it will obviously succeed.
Once back in the student union, Chen Mobai quickly told them about the situation and had the True Cultivators who had identified valuable items from each major department persuade their respective tutors and directors.
So, at the weekend teachers’ meeting, Luo Hezheng looked perplexed as nearly seventy percent of the teachers in the conference room raised their hands in approval, passing the application to open the Daoist Academy’s treasury for exchange earlier this year.
“Director Luo, I would like three Vermillion Fruit, one Small Barrier Breaking Pill, and one liter of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.”
Chen Mobai was naturally the first one to hear the news and come to exchange.
“You kid…”
Seeing Chen Mobai, Luo Hezheng could only shake his head, then he opened the storeroom and took out what Chen Mobai wanted.
Later, under Luo Hezheng’s supervision, Chen Mobai picked three Vermillion Fruit from the Daoist Academy.
After preparing the two main ingredients for the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, Chen Mobai quickly made a trip back to Xiao Nanshan.
“Xuan, help me gather three sets of these herbs. Your elder brother usually handles this, but he’s currently in seclusion healing, so I’ll leave this matter to you.”
Luo Yixuan’s efficiency is even faster than Liu Wenbo’s.
She left with the list of herbs in the morning and came back with three large bags in the afternoon.
“How did you do it so quickly?”
Chen Mobai checked the three sets of auxiliary herbs, confirmed that they were all top-quality, and couldn’t help but look surprised.
It usually took Liu Wenbo about a week to purchase and collect everything in Divine Wood City.
“Master, I went to Inspector Sun of the Spirit Plant Department and explained the situation to him. He gave me a note to give to a sister in charge of the inventory in the Spirit Plant department. She quickly gathered up the materials according to my list. Of course, I used my own sect contribution to purchase, I didn’t use your name to get them for free.”
After listening to Luo Yixuan’s explanation, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but marvel.
Compared with the modest and gentlemanly Liu Wenbo, she was indeed more astute and capable.
The Spirit Plant Department oversees all the fields on Giant Tree Ridge, and also continuously purchases Spiritual Medicine cultivated by various Immortal Cultivating clans under Divine Wood Sect from the four countries. Outside of Back to Sky Valley, their inventory of medicinal herbs is the most abundant in the entire Eastern Wilderness.
That’s how Zeng Woyou was able to become a Rank-3 Alchemist.
In the past, in order not to expose himself Chen Mobai would always have Liu Wenbo collect materials from the market. This line of thinking had become a habit and he didn’t think to change it.
Right now, he is the red-hot new direct disciple of the Divine Wood Sect leader, buying some herbs from the Spirit Plant Department is a completely normal thing. Even if he reveals his elixir recipe, what’s the point? He has already planted the seed of him having an Alchemist heritage through Yan Jinye, and he suspects many people already know.
Let it be known that besides sword training and farming, he also wants to develop towards becoming an Alchemist.
After praising Luo Yixuan, Chen Mobai took the herbs and went into seclusion again.
He returned to Dance Tool Dao Academy, symbolically rented a room, and faked taking a Small Barrier Breaking Pill.
Since his Dantian Qi Sea was already unblocked to the level of Foundation Establishment Perfection, breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Rank-2 to Rank-3 of Pure Yang Scroll was as simple and smooth as drinking water.
The important thing was to have enough Pure Yang Spiritual Power.
After the breakthrough, Chen Mobai put the Small Barrier Breaking Pill in his storage bag.
He had only broken through to Foundation Establishment Rank-2 of Pure Yang Scroll at the end of last year, just ten months ago. Although breaking through one level in a year is a normal speed, Chen Mobai didn’t want to reveal too much.
Taking a Barrier Breaking Pill to break through in advance would indeed cause some surprise, but it was still within the normal range.
After all, Sword Light Shapeshifting could be explained by astonishing comprehension, but going from Foundation Establishment Rank-2 to Foundation Establishment Perfection in one year could not be explained even by an old Divinity Transformation ancestor.
As long as his Spiritual Power Realm progression speed is the same as Zhongli Tianyu’s, it wouldn’t attract any attention.
Speaking of Zhongli Tianyu, Chen Mobai happened to have arranged a meeting with him.
