Chapter 648: Chapter 406 Great Satisfaction (8k)_5
Struggling to recover after exiting the Little Red Sky, Zhongli Tianyu slumped on the sofa in the office, his face pale and his breaths sharp, as if his body was overheating.
“Have some tea.”
Seeing this, Chen Mobai moved a cup of the Rank-2 Spiritual Tea he had brewed earlier over to him.
With trembling hands, Zhongli Tianyu took the cup and downed the tea in one gulp.
The clear and slightly cold tea flowed through Zhongli Tianyu’s body, washing away the after-effects of the Magic Duel in the Little Red Sky.
His Divine Sense showed no signs of bodily injury, and Zhongli Tianyu was soon feeling okay.
...
“Do we need to fight again tomorrow?”
“No, no, let me rest for a while.”
Not a masochist, Zhongli Tianyu shook his head like a rattle drum at Chen Mobai’s question, denying it outright.
The past two fights ended quickly with him being defeated in a single move, so Zhongli Tianyu barely had any sensations at that time. But in the evenly-matched battle this time, even though he had mastered the Eight Trigrams Immortal Thunder, he was suppressed by Chen Mobai’s proficient dual Sword Sha.
Unfortunately, his Eight Trigrams Immortal Thunder Armor was quite robust in defense and could withstand the Sword Sha.
As a result, it felt like a blunt knife cutting through meat.
Once he regained his senses, Zhongli Tianyu wished he could slap himself.
He could have admitted defeat earlier and avoided all this suffering.
Zhongli Tianyu requested to leave early, saying he needed to heal his physical and mental injuries.
Chen Mobai thought about it, and since he would be in the student council that day, he granted the leave request.
“Starting tomorrow, report here every day, understand?”
While handing over the signed leave slip to Zhongli Tianyu, Chen Mobai said gently. Looking into his eyes, Zhongli Tianyu felt a burning ache in his body, and although his gaze showed defiance, his body instinctively acquiesced.
“Okay.”
After responding, Zhongli Tianyu huffed out of Chen Mobai’s office with the leave slip.
“This kid still needs a little more refining.”
Once Zhongli Tianyu left, Chen Mobai remarked sagely.
Zhuang Jialan, who was nearby, was unfazed by this. However, Meng Huang looked at him with a face full of curiosity and admiration, greatly satisfying Chen Mobai’s vanity.
“Senior sister, did you bring your Device Nurturing Sphere?”
Noticing that the time was almost up, Chen Mobai brought up the matter at hand.
Meng Huang nodded, taking out the Device Nurturing Sphere that they had decided upon the previous night from her small bag.
With Chen Mobai overseeing and guiding, there were no issues in using the Device Piece this time.
They ended up acquiring the Rank-2 Lower-grade Pipa Instrument.
“I’m going back to familiarize myself with the Spiritual Artifact Foundation Establishment technique.”
Having obtained the Magic Artifact she needed, Meng Huang couldn’t wait to leave.
“Sure, if you have any questions during your cultivation, you can ask me. I can help you simulate with the Formless Opponent.”
Chen Mobai had already studied the Spiritual Artifact Foundation Establishment technique the previous night. Since it derived from the Spiritual Artifact Co-cultivation Technique, and his cultivation level was high, he was able to understand it after reading through it once.
Meng Huang nodded, and with the Pipa in hand, she turned to leave.
However, she suddenly stopped, turned back sheepishly, and looked at Chen Mobai.
“What’s wrong?”
“I haven’t undergone Foundation Establishment yet.”
Meng Huang exclaimed coquettishly, and Chen Mobai instantly understood.
This Treasure Trove had a unique environment, and because her cultivation level was inadequate, the Spiritual Energy in her skateboard couldn’t glide this deep.
“That was careless of me.”
Chen Mobai apologized and called over Zhuang Jialan to help her out.
Suppressing her inner turmoil, Meng Huang maintained her smile, turned her head, and thanked a confused Zhuang Jialan.
[What’s the relationship between the president and her that he won’t even send her off himself?]
Despite her confusion, Zhuang Jialan obeyed the president’s orders and took Meng Huang away.
Once alone in the office, Chen Mobai began sorting out the mountains of documents on his desk, getting ready to tackle the year’s tasks.
In the days to come, he would guide Zhongli Tianyu to take over his duties while accompanying Meng Huang to the academy every day.
However, Chen Mobai went to the student council to handle the handover procedures and started the annual Device Nurturing Sphere appraisal for earning academic credits, while Meng Huang headed to her permanent room in Building No. 9 to work hard at her cultivation, preparing for her upcoming Foundation Establishment.
Whenever he was free at night, Chen Mobai would also go and guide her cultivation of the Spiritual Artifact Foundation Establishment technique to help her clear up doubts.
Before he knew it, Chen Mobai’s eighth-grade life at the Dance Tool Dao Academy had come to an end.
After passing all the compulsory and elective courses with high scores, coupled with his income from appraising, the total academic credits on his student card had exceeded one hundred.
As per usual, he exchanged his credits for Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and Vermillion Fruit, and asked Wang Xingyu to help him prepare a year’s worth of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew.
Even though his Divine Sense had hit a bottleneck and could not improve anymore, the main use of this Spirit Dew was to enhance his Void Spirit Eye.
Over these years, Chen Mobai had been applying the Spirit Dew regularly and felt that his Void Spirit Eye was still improving, so he had no plans to stop using it.
However, this year he didn’t ask Zeng Woyou of the Alchemy Department to help with the Bamboo Fruit.
His first apprentice, Liu Wenbo, was very capable. After he took control of the South Mountain Shop in Jianguo Market under Chen Mobai’s name, he opened a branch in his hometown, Yun Country’s Southstream Market.
Chen Mobai delegated the management to the Liu family and did not interfere.
In Yun Country, there was a sect known as the Green Bamboo Ridge, which had two cultivators who had undergone Foundation Establishment and were particularly skilled at cultivating Jade Bamboo.
Chen Mobai had read about this in Liu Yanpei’s notes in the past.
When Liu Wenbo learned that Chen Mobai needed Bamboo Fruit, he immediately made a trip to Yun country to purchase a large amount of Bamboo Fruit from the Green Bamboo Ridge.
In addition to the Bamboo Fruit, Liu Wenbo easily amassed the other auxiliary medicines needed for making Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew through Jianguo Market.
Chen Mobai was very satisfied with this.
He felt that all three of his apprentices were extremely considerate.
Once Wang Xingyu had helped concoct the Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, Meng Huang also sent a message.
The talisman for the Equaling Heaven Art had arrived.
