Chapter 1073 - 1073 587

Chapter 1073: 587 Chapter 1073: 587 “I’ve recently been in charge of a big project, and I expect to be very busy for the next two or three years.”

“I might not be able to help with the Magic Artifact Embryo matter.”

“How about I introduce you to a few people? They’re all geniuses from our Refining Implement Department at the Daoist Academy, only second to me.”

“You can also find a Daoist Academy on your own. Given your current status as a Golden Core Master, Deng, the head of our Refining Implement Department, will definitely show you respect. Perhaps he’ll even use your Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo as the subject for a class of a certain year.”

“However, I think you could also learn the Artifact Refining Technique on your own. After all, you’ve achieved Core Formation now, and it will be at least a hundred or two hundred years until ‘Nascent Soul Formation.’ A Rank-1 or Rank-2 Artifact Refiner certification should be easily attainable, and for Rank-3, with your supreme talent, if you focus on it for a few years, you should be almost there.”

Ming Yuhua talked at length, and Chen Mobai also felt a bit tempted after listening.

With his current realm, if he were to cover the Cultivation Arts such as Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Earth Mastery, and Formation work from the top down, he could easily elevate them to the Rank-2 level.

In the Xianmen, such achievements aren’t significant, but in the Tianhe Realm, it would be equivalent to a Rank-3 master.

Chen Mobai didn’t want to be distracted before because he felt that his talent wasn’t sufficient and needed to use all his time to improve his cultivation realm.

But now, after Core Formation, even though his cultivation conditions are the best compared to others at the same level, reaching the Ninth Level of Golden Core would at least take over sixty years.

In that time, the portion originally used to comprehend the Extreme Sun Slash can now be freed up and reassigned, thanks to the empowerment by the Great Dao Tree.

Chen Mobai had been considering which spell to cultivate next, but after hearing Ming Yuhua’s reminder, he realized it might be time to develop into a hexagon.

At the very least, fields like Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and Earth Mastery could be raised to Rank-2, which wouldn’t take much time.

Having these skills would make it much easier for him to develop the valuable lands of the Eastern Wilderness.

He wouldn’t have to wonder how to use any heavenly and earthly treasures he stumbled upon, nor would he need to seek advice from his old classmates back at Xianmen.

With that in mind, Chen Mobai called Che Yucheng.

“Teacher, can I apply to return to school for further studies to improve myself, at my age?”

“Studying is a good thing, but since you’re a councilor of Kaiyuan Hall, you’ll need to go through a process with The Three Great Halls for approval if you want to leave your current position.”

As the highest authority of Yu Wood City, the principal of Qing Sang Academy, and a Golden Core Master, Chen Mobai would need to apply to Kaiyuan Hall and go through procedures with the Department of Education and the Personnel Department if he wanted to leave for Dance Tools Dao Academy to further his studies.

Although the reason for studying is substantial, whether it will be approved still depends on relationships.

Luckily, as an outstanding graduate of Dance Tools Dao Academy, Chen Mobai’s connections within Xianmen reached the heavens.

“I’ll make a few phone calls and ask around.”

After saying that, Che Yucheng hung up, apparently setting to work his connections within The Three Great Halls of Xianmen.

“If the process gets held up, you might need to serve in Yu Wood City for a few more years.”

Half a day later, Che Yucheng called back, speaking in a strange tone.

“Teacher, what’s going on?”

Chen Mobai was still on the payroll as a teacher at Dance Tool Dao Academy. Che Yucheng, on behalf of the academy, making a case for him to return to Crimson Mountain to study anew was a perfectly valid reason. Coupled with the academy’s influence within Xianmen, this should have been a straightforward approval.

“I don’t know either. After asking a few old friends, it seems that Kaiyuan Hall considers the Biyu Wutong in Danxia City very important. They think it’s better to have you, a Xianmen combat prodigy, stationed nearby, which is why they didn’t approve your transfer.”

After hearing Che Yucheng’s words, Chen Mobai wondered if the Peach Blossom Sage might be behind this, especially since he hadn’t given her much face in front of everyone the last time.

As a Nascent Soul Superior, her words would be taken very seriously by The Three Great Halls of Xianmen.

“Then I’ll just study on my own.”

To this, Chen Mobai wasn’t very concerned. The reason he wanted to return to the academy was that the atmosphere was conducive to studying, and he’d been away for so long that he missed it.

In fact, with his realm of Core Formation, as long as he was willing to dedicate himself and seek advice, the efficiency wouldn’t be much lower.

“Teacher, how have you been lately? I heard the ranking of the academy fell to the bottom again…”

After discussing the business at hand, Chen Mobai started to chat about more casual matters with Che Yucheng.

Che Yucheng: “You rascal, always bringing up the sore point. But this year, our academy enrolled a super genius in the Imperial City. Perhaps in a few years, we might reclaim the first-place ranking.”

Chen Mobai: “How talented is this genius? How do they compare to me?”

Che Yucheng: “In terms of talent, hardly less than yours.”

Chen Mobai: “Are you sure, teacher?”

At this, Chen Mobai was genuinely curious; after all, he was recognized as the most talented individual within Xianmen in the last hundred years.

Being on par with him suggested that the new student also had the Qualification of Deification!

When did Divine Descendants become so common?

“This new student graduated from the Five Peaks School!”

Che Yucheng revealed a bit more.

Five Peaks School!

Chen Mobai instantly realized that it was the only comprehensive school in the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, ranging from elementary to high school graduation.

Chen Mobai: “This new student, are they a Divine Descendant? It can’t be another Zhong Li Tianyu, but even if it’s him, he’s been suppressed by me for a lifetime. How could he possibly beat the Transforming students of Kunpeng Daoist Institute?”
