Chapter 724: Chapter 431: Nature Studies Academy (7k)_4

Chen Mobai approached and before he even got close, he felt a chilling sword intent that made his hairs stand on end.

At the top of the mountain, there seemed to be a spring. Tiny streams fell from above, one by one, into this stone gap. No matter how much water poured in, the stone gap was only seven-tenths full. The rest turned into cool mist that dispersed into the air.

“This is one of the sword intents left by Master Qing Jing. There are two more on her farmland and one on her clothesline. The remaining nine are inside the Mirror House.”

“Is there none from Master Qing Shi?” Chen Mobai asked curiously after Yan Qiongzhi’s introduction.

“There is, but only one, on the door of the wooden house.”

As Yan Qiongzhi spoke, she led Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan towards the Mirror House. She pulled out a key in the shape of a small sword. As the wooden door opened, a stern sword intent as majestic as a mountain range and as vast as the stars slowly dissipated.

Chen Mobai stood at the door, staring blankly at the wooden door for a long time.

Yan Bingxuan looked puzzled and was about to speak when Yan Qiongzhi stopped her.

“Don’t disturb him. With his unparalleled talent, he might make some realizations.”

But in reality, the Purple Electric Sword in his storage bag was sensing its old master’s presence and was sending a ripple of restlessness to Chen Mobai, wanting to come out and take a look.

However, in order not to expose his storage bag, Chen Mobai could only reassure it, saying that it would have to wait a while.

Fortunately, the Purple Electric Sword, which was usually steeped sufficiently in Spirit Stones, was very obedient and stopped at the sound of his words.

“Sorry, I just had a minor revelation and lost track of time.”

Regaining his consciousness, Chen Mobai had to use this as an excuse. With a modest expression, he addressed Yan Qiongzhi and Yan Bingxuan, who were waiting for him. Their faces displayed an understanding look.

“This place mainly has more sword marks and sword intents left by Master Qing Jing and only one from Master Qing Shi on the door.”

Upon entering the Mirror House, Chen Mobai saw extremely modern furnishings, all kinds of home appliances and furniture, and even a spacious Cultivation Room with two floor cushions. Just in this place, Master Qing Jing had left four sword intents.

Chen Mobai’s aptitude was average. Although he could sense the chilling and profound sword intent, he couldn’t comprehend it on a deeper level.

“May I stay here for a day?”

However, he still had to keep up appearances, especially to maintain his reputation as a peerless Sword Cultivation genius.

“Yes, you can stay as long as you wish. I will apply for the handwritten copy of the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book from the library and have Bingxuan deliver it to you later.”

Yan Qiongzhi’s words left Chen Mobai speechless. Unknowingly, he had gained a small amount of fame within the Immortal Sect, to the extent that he could receive such treatment in Nature Studies Academy.

After thanking her, Yan Qiongzhi and Yan Bingxuan left so as not to disturb his contemplation of sword marks and intents. They left Huagai Mountain.

After watching the too ladies leave, Chen Mobai took the Purple Electric Sword out of his storage bag.

[I didn’t expect to be able to return here.]

The Purple Electric Sword was obviously familiar with this place. It turned into a purple glow and circled the Mirror House once before landing in front of the wooden house door. It trembled slightly as it faced the sword mark left by Master Qing Shi—just like it was weeping.

“Is this the place where the two masters cultivated?”

[It can be counted as such, but they were here mostly to enjoy the pastoral life of rising with the sun and retiring with sunset. Initially, I was hung on this door, and Little Qing was placed in that stone gap. They might not even wield us once in a year. That kind of lazy and monotonous life felt boring at first, but now it seems to be the start of mine and Little Qing’s spiritual awakening.]

After listening to the description from the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai nodded in understanding.

The rise of Purple Lightning Qing Shuang from an ordinary magic artifact to a Rank-4 superior grade, and achieving spirit consciousness was due to a series of fortunate coincidences.

The trigger was this Mirror House.

He didn’t expect the two famously superb Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators of the Immortal Sect to lay down their swords in their later years and achieved spiritual growth without their swords.

“Is this Sword Intent helpful to my cultivation?”

Chen Mobai pointed at the Sword Intent lines inside and outside the Mirror House and asked the Purple Electric Sword.

“For cultivators who cultivate the Qingxiao Sword Canon and the Zi Hua Sword Manual, these are the pinnacle of Dao. For you, they’re slightly useful, because the Sword Dao Realm is universal.”

The Purple Electric Sword spoke earnestly, Chen Mobai slightly nodded, not overthinking it.

He was just faking being a Sword Cultivation Genius, so he didn’t have high hopes for the Mirror House. He would just stay here for a day and pretend to be serious.

Not even a moment’s taking, Yan Bingxuan went up the mountain, handed him an old book, the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book.

Chen Mobai thanked her and then talked with her for a while, but Yan Bingxuan, not wanting to distract him from comprehending Sword Intent, quickly excused herself and left the mountain.

In the long night, Chen Mobai had nothing to do but read the book.

With his current comprehension, he could basically understand the decoded Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book from the two masters, but after trying to cultivate it, he found that there was no reaction, feeling a little embarrassed.

“Do you remember anything about this Heavenly Book?”

After several attempts, he had no choice but to shamelessly ask the Purple Electric Sword.

“The two masters used me and Little Qing to practice the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book top spell, drawing the Two-yi Qi from the Ninth Heaven.”

Hearing Purple Electric Sword’s response, Chen Mobai’s face lit up with joy. It turns out he needs both the Purple Lightning and Qing Shuang swords at hand to cultivate, it was not because of his poor qualifications.

“So, if I join hands with Pei Qingshuang, can we cultivate it?”

“It’s uncertain. I talked with Little Qing before, it doesn’t think highly of its current master. If Little Qing doesn’t actively cooperate with her, just you and I combined might lead to deviation.”

Upon hearing this exclusive news revealed by the Purple Electric Sword, Chen Mobai was taken aback.

No wonder Pei Qingshuang doesn’t know the real method to cultivate the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book, it’s because the Qing Shuang Sword didn’t tell her.

He had assumed that with Pei Qingshuang’s status and talents, she must be approved by the Qing Shuang Sword, but reality proved otherwise.

Did Qing Shuang Sword pretend to comply?

Or was it forced to comply with Tao Hua Upper Person’s authority?

Or was it because the Spirit Stones Pei Qingshuang gave were not enough?

However, after hearing this, Chen Mobai could only pretend not to know. He considered himself friends with Pei Qingshuang and didn’t want her face to be lost.

“When I really want to cultivate the Purple Green Demon Refining Heavenly Book, could you please find a way to convince Qing Shuang Sword? It can name its price in Spirit Stones. As you know, I’m very generous.”

“No problem, leave it to me.”

Upon hearing this, the Purple Electric Sword immediately let out a clear chirp, brimming with confidence.

“However, there’s something I want to tell you in advance. The original two masters only managed to drive me and Little Qing with ease to absorb the Purple Splendor Qi from the Nine Heavens after they reached Perfect Core Formation. If you don’t cultivate both of the two Sword Manuals, even if you can drive both me and Little Qing wholeheartedly, it might not be successful.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned. He would definitely not give up the Pure Yang Scroll that he had already invested so much in, but the Nine Heavens Purple Splendor Qi could make both masters form a nascent soul, so it was obviously extremely useful, and he wanted some too.

Besides, most importantly, he had found out the correct way to cultivate.

If he gave up just like that, wouldn’t it be a waste?

But there’s no hurry about this matter. He could figure it out after core formation.

The rest of the night was spent chit-chatting between Chen Mobai and the Purple Electric Sword. As a reward for the Purple Electric Sword’s enlightenment, he gave it an intermediate grade Spirit Stone. This Rank-4 Magic Artifact was so happy that it spun around twice.
