I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 517: Chapter 354: You Have Already Tried Your Best_2

He is the eldest and the most experienced. He saw the calm and reliability behind Chen Mobai’s rampant facade.

Zhuang Jialan, Jiang Yuyuan, and others from Dance Tool Dao Academy, who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, nodded in confusion.

“Alright, let’s also select our opponents now. After all, we have to fight once a day, and we should accumulate points in the early days. If we manage to secure the first place, we will challenge Qi Huanzhi and others to identify our shortcomings.”

Bian Jingchun clapped her hands gently, calling Zhongli Tianyu and others over.

Chen Mobai was not present, and as Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng were older and did not wish to meddle in these matters, the remaining Daoist Academy students came under Bian Jingchun’s management. After all, she had been the chief before graduating.

“I have already chosen my opponent.”

Zhongli Tianyu was the first to express his opinion. He looked at Nangong Xiu, the one who had just challenged Chen Mobai, with a cold gaze.

Since Chen Mobai had already defeated Nangong Xiu and slots to spar with him were valuable, he chose to ignore him.

However, Zhongli Tianyu thought that it was necessary to teach Nangong Xiu a lesson.

To let him know that everyone must take responsibility for their words.

“With your strength, you could even give the other three top students from the Daoist Academy a run for their money. But Nangong Xiu has mastered the Six Sovereigns Rain Technique, so be careful when you spar.”

Zhongli Tianyu responded proudly to Bian Jingchun’s reminder.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Torrential rain is just the prelude to thunder. When I, the Thunder Emperor, arrive, he will have no choice but to bow down to me!”

Bian Jingchun didn’t bother with the brat anymore; instead, she began guiding the three who had weaker cultivation levels.

Although Zha Jianbai was at the third layer of the Foundation Establishment stage, as a Sword Cultivator and a genuine Sword Dao genius, he basically ranked fairly high in the sparring matches, unless he encountered the chief students or graduates of the academies.

Jiang Yuyuan was at the second layer of Foundation Establishment, and Zhuang Jialan was at the first.

Their participation was just for the sake of it.

Bian Jingchun only asked them to soak in the atmosphere. If they felt unmatched in strength during the sparring matches, they should immediately concede.

Now that the Dance Tool Dao Academy had sent three cultivators at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, along with the monster-like Chen Mobai, they were essentially guaranteed to secure the first place for the group scores.

Even if these two lost all ten matches, they would still technically contribute.

While intense discussions about strategizing were happening here, Chen Mobai had already arrived at the Elixir Refining Room.

“Aren’t you supposed to be at the Divine Tree?”

Looking at him walking in, Qing Nu asked with surprise. Her right hand never left the sand furnace where she was refining the Camel Fat Ointment, using her extremely pure Wood Spirit Power to control the flame’s temperature. Simultaneously, she used her Divine Sense to adjust the integration and reaction of the primary and auxiliary medicines.

“My opponents are too weak. That Cameo girl from your academy saw the massive traffic I naturally attract and wouldn’t let me finish all ten matches in one day, so I came to find you.”

Chen Mobai walked up to Qing Nu with a smile and reached out his right hand to take over control of the flame’s temperature from her.

The two of them often cooperated while refining elixirs, and their coordination was remarkable.

Once Chen Mobai injected his Pure Yang Spiritual Power, Qing Nu slowly withdrew her Wood Spirit Power.

“At the beginning, the temperature of the flames needs to be constantly changed due to the various medicinal properties, so we manually control it. But when it comes to mid-stage of medicine fusion, we can use the temperature control formation that this sand furnace naturally possesses for mechanical operation. I just need to check the fusion conditions of the medicine ingredients daily to ensure they are within normal limits.”

After withdrawing her hand, Qing Nu did not stop to rest. Her Divine Sense remained detached and resided within the sand furnace, orchestrating the order of the ingredients’ refinement.

“Actually, I can manage it on my own. If you have free time, you can explore this place. Both Ten Thousand Waters and the Forest House Cave have the most beautiful natural scenery within the Immortal Gate. It’s rare that you’re here, don’t miss it.”

Upon hearing Qing Nu’s words, Chen Mobai shook his head without thinking.

“I don’t enjoy sightseeing. If I have time, I usually stay home to meditate and cultivate Qi. I prefer the feeling of mastering spells and improving myself.”

Hearing this, Qing Nu’s lips curled up slightly.

It was still him, utterly unchanged.

She remembered clearly that in Red Sandstone City, as a high school student, he exhibited an ambitious spirit far beyond his peers. Every Good Deed Point was spent on concocting elixirs for enhancing spiritual and divine senses.

Apart from discussing alchemy, their most common shared pastime was eating fish, as far as she could remember.

The thought of eating fish brought even more joy to Qing Nu’s eyes.

“What’s up? Did you think of something happy?”

“Yes, I thought of something delicious.”

“Roasted fish?”

“How do you know?”

“In all the years we’ve known each other, there aren’t many things you’ve expressed a fondness for. Roasted fish is one of them and is the one you seem to enjoy the most, as far as I recall.”

Hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Qing Nu let out a small laugh.

“Now you tell me, what else do I like besides roasted fish?”

“Alchemy, identifying medicinal ingredients, collecting Good Deed Points, your younger siblings… Those are all I can recall.”

With each point Chen Mobai listed, Qing Nu’s eyes sparkled brighter, all until he mentioned “younger siblings”.

In an instant, the light in her eyes faded, and she looked lost in thought.

“I’m sorry for bringing up your painful past.”

“It’s nothing, it’s all in the past.”

After that, a silence fell between the two of them.
