Chapter 491: Chapter 342 Big Family_2
“Are you implying that your family has pills that assist with Core Formation?”
“Before our ancestor passed away, he crafted a furnace of Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pills, a furnace of Infant-Transforming Elixirs left as heritage for our family.”
“Are you selling them?”
Chen Mobai asked very bluntly.
“They can’t be used by anyone outside the clan, and now there’s only one left.”
Zhongli Tianyu’s words made Chen Mobai regretfully shake his head. However, upon thinking about it, if they were available for purchase, all the big shots from the immortal sects would have bought them from the Zhongli family a long time ago.
Take Gongye Zhixu for example, in order to obtain baby-forming spiritual things, he even became the Vice Hall Master of Xianwu Hall, yet he only managed to get one Infant-Feeding Elixir.
“It’s a pity that I don’t have any Device Pieces to exchange, otherwise I could open this Device Nurturing Sphere on the spot.”
Although Chen Mobai’s Void Spirit Eye could see through the surface layer, if he wanted to verify the true origins of the magic artifact, he would still need to open it.
This year he earned 186 credits through the appraisal of Device Nurturing Spheres. Buying three Vermillion Fruits and a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir took 90 of them, leaving him with 96.
As the final examinations for this year haven’t begun yet, he hasn’t received the credits from the courses he enrolled in. Therefore, he won’t be able to exchange for a Device Piece until the end of the year.
Considering that he would soon be going to the Jumang Daoist Academy, it might be better to open this Device Nurtifying Sphere prior to his departure. Thus, he took Zhongli Tianyu and headed toward the Student Union.
“Shouldn’t you be looking for Teacher Duanmu in the depths of the Treasure Trove to exchange Device Pieces?”
Zhongli Tianyu, who followed him flying upward in the cave, asked curiously.
“Only Golden Core Cultivators can descend to the place where Teacher Duanmu resides. So, in order not to delay the opening of the Device Nurturing Sphere, we generally go to Teacher Luo Hezheng for exchanging Device Pieces.”
Chen Mobai was patient in explaining to Zhongli Tianyu who, aside from cultivation, had little knowledge about anything else.
“I see. It’s a shame that I’ve just drawn the power from the Li Gua in my Bagua Mirror; I’m not yet proficient in using it. It only works on me. Otherwise, I could have taken you to see Teacher Duanmu.”
Zhongli Tianyu regretfully said, causing Chen Mobai to ponder.
Soon, both of them arrived at the three-story building of the Student Union.
Unexpectedly, all three vice presidents were there, along with the resigned Hua Zijing. They were on the first floor, looking serious as if about to go out.
“President.”
Everyone was thrilled at the sight of Chen Mobai walking in.
However, when they saw Zhongli Tianyu following in, their expressions turned strange.
“Are you alright?”
Mi Yudao asked from one side.
“What’s going on? We only had a friendly match, and you all act as if we have had a severe fight.”
Chen Mobai saw their expressions and knew what was happening. He laughed and shook his head.
“Did you win or lose?”
Only the bold Zijing, who had already resigned and was probably used to this place, would ask this question. She would come over from time to time to spend time with the cat.
“You could say I had a half point advantage. The power of Zhongli student’s Thunder method is so strong that even the top students from the other three Daoist Academies wouldn’t have too much advantage over him.”
Chen Mobai’s words made Zhongli Tianyu, who was acting stiff behind him, relax a bit.
“I knew it. You don’t have to worry at all about magic duels, but they were scared you might get hurt.”
Hua Zijing’s words made the others feel a little awkward. Mi Yudao, in particular, lowered his head in embarrassment as he was the one who had exaggerated and made the group think that Zhongli Tianyu was very angry and that this duel might turn bloody, causing others to worry as well.
“It’s rare to hear you praising me.”
Hearing Hua Zijing’s words, Chen Mobai playfully responded, earning him an eye roll from the latter who was busy with a cat.
“Tiansuan.”
Chen Mobai gestured to Lu Tiansuan, this year’s promoted vice president who managed the Map of Treasures credit check system.
“President, what can I do for you?”
Lu Tiansuan walked over with confusion on his face.
“I remember that the Student Union’s annual 5-credit grant hasn’t been issued yet?”
“Right, the names are usually confirmed after the final exams, and then sent to the academic department for approval.”
“Yeah, I’m just short of some credit points to exchange for a device piece, so you might as well give me my five now.”
“This…alright, president.”
Although Lu Tiansuan is upright, he’s not pedantic. Every year, the students’ union presents an award of five credit points to 10 excellent members, but no matter what, the president and the three vice presidents are always on the list.
And who doesn’t know that the director of Academic Affairs is Chen Mobai’s teacher?
Chen Mobai receiving his award in advance can be considered reasonable.
His help in identifying Device Nurturing Spheres over the last two years has stimulated many to actively consult the Map of Treasures. After all, once the external identification is completed, a comparison to the design is still needed to determine the grade and function of the magic artifact.
Thanks to this, other union members have also benefited from Map of Treasure credit points over the course of these two years.
Especially recently, Chen Mobai had identified 186 Device Nurturing Spheres for people. A single consultation of the Map of Treasures would translate into two credit points, resulting in an overall net benefit of 372 credit points. After deducting half for the Daoist Academy, it translates to each of the 36 student union members receiving five credit points.
It’s precisely for this reason that, although Chen Mobai was often absent from the students’ union during these two years, everyone recognizes him as the rightful president.
No surprise there, as the benefits under him have greatly exceeded those during Zuo Qiushi’s tenure.
“You guys carry on as usual. In the next few days, we may have a couple of graduating seniors coming over. Zijing, could you please attend to them?”
“I’ve already resigned.”
Hua Zijing, who was busy petting a cat, grumbled. Chen Mobai couldn’t help but smack his forehead. He had gotten used to her presence.
“Then Jialan will have to make do for now. Tianyu and I are going to meet another senior sister.”
After hearing this, the confused Zhongli Tianyu, who had been standing by the door since they entered, looked up.
When did they discuss meeting a senior sister?
Chen Mobai, having accumulated 100 credit points, left the students’ union with Zhongli Tianyu.
“I’m not particularly interested in senior sisters.”
While crossing the Nether River, Zhongli Tianyu suddenly said something that almost made Chen Mobai trip.
“What?”
“Didn’t you say we were going to meet a senior sister? Isn’t it an introduction?”
“The way your mind works…I am going to exchange for a device piece from Teacher Duanmu. Coincidentally, there’s a senior sister there who will be participating in the offline exchange meeting with us. We might as well get to know her.”
“Oh, that was a misunderstanding.”
When Zhongli Tianyu said this, he didn’t seem embarrassed at all.
Chen Mobai was very curious about the environment in which he grew up. Just what kind of place was the Zhongli Family to have cultivated such an unusual character?
Zhongli Tianyu: “The temperature in the depths of the Treasure Trove is very high. My Bagua Mirror can only protect me. Can your mirror protect you too?”
Chen Mobai: “No worries, I have a special constitution that can withstand high temperatures. By the way, since you don’t use a device piece to open Device Nurturing Spheres, is this done with the approval of the Daoist Academy? Wouldn’t you save 200 credit points by just using two pieces?”
Zhongli Tianyu: “These were originally sealed by the members of our family. I just took them back. Now that you mentioned it, do I need to pay additional credit points?”
Chen Mobai: “We’re going to meet with Teacher Duanmu shortly, let’s ask about this later.”
One has a separating symbol for protection, and the other has a Fire Spirit Body, both quickly descended to the space above the underground magma flow.
In this furnace environment where even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be burned, they were effortlessly positioned in front of the dark red island at the center.
Just as they were about to land, a sky-shaking dragon chant echoed, making the surrounding magma boil and explode. A white dragon flew out of the magma, with a terrifying momentum, it soared directly into the sky.
Chen Mobai’s face subtly changed, five fingers on his right hand shone in five colors, and a terrifying sword array was ready to be launched between the rotations of the Five Element Sword Lights.
Zhongli Tianyu, standing next to him, also held his Bagua Mirror tightly, the Zhen Hexagram appeared, covering his entire body, and the purple thunder flashed.
However, the white dragon had no intentions towards them. It seemed to be weak after being baptized in the magma and after taking a glance at them, flew into the island.
“You two can come over now.”
About a quarter of an hour later, Duanmu Longrong’s voice sounded in their ears.
Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu dispelled their respective spiritual powers and landed.
