Half a Year

Half a year passed quickly.

During the process of switching to the Pure Yang Scroll, Chen Mobai encountered several problems that he could not solve on his own, but after receiving guidance from the True Person Scarlet Robe, he finally completed the foundation of the Pure Yang Scroll.

"That's right. Next, you just need to follow the Pure Yang Qi Cultivation Chapter step by step and convert the remaining Five Elements Technique Qi in your Qi Sea."

On this day, atop a certain peak of the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy, the True Person Scarlet Robe withdrew his right hand from Chen Mobai, seemingly relieved, and nodded gently.

"You've really had a tough time lately."

Chen Mobai immediately got up from the meditation cushion and thanked the Golden Core True Person in front of him.

"As a teacher at the Wuqi Dao Academy, it is only right that I guide you."

The True Person Scarlet Robe shook his head slightly, but did not move, and calmly accepted Chen Mobai's bow.

"Does the True Person also cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll?"

Over the past six months, Chen Mobai has also discovered that the True Person Scarlet Robe has a very good understanding of the Pure Yang Scroll, and can even be said to be an expert in it.

He was able to foresee all the difficulties that would arise when switching to this cultivation method and informed Chen Mobai of them.

It was as if he had experienced it himself, which is why Chen Mobai asked this question.

"When Qi Refining Foundation Establishment, I did indeed practice the Pure Yang Scroll. However, in order to have more time to Core Formation, I switched to the ' Sky Burning Technique,' which is derived from the Pure Yang Scroll."

The True Person Scarlet Robe did not shy away from the topic and casually recounted his cultivation experience.

A hundred years ago, he entered the Wuqi Dao Academy with the highest score in Vermilion Cloud City. At that time, he was still practicing the Five Elements Technique.

After entering the Dao Academy, a total of thirty-six students in that year chose to switch to the Pure Yang Scroll, but in the end, only he and another True Person Lesser Yang were able to successfully Core Formation.

He was able to successfully Core Formation because he realized that if he tried to cultivate the Pure Yang Dharma Body and enhance his fire Spirit Root Attribute while simultaneously breaking through his cultivation realm, he might end up dying of old age.

Therefore, after reaching the Foundation Establishment, he decisively stopped cultivating the Pure Yang Dharma Body and focused on improving his realm with the Sky Burning Technique.

Such a resolute mindset enabled the True Person Scarlet Robe, who was originally just an ordinary talent among that year's students, to successfully Core Formation, and now he even has the possibility of Nascent Formation.

"What the master meant was that I should not be too obsessed with the reputation of the Pure Yang Scroll's Spirit Transmutation Cultivation Technique. If I realize that I may not be able to break through the realm before my lifespan runs out, I need to give it up immediately."

Chen Mobai thought he understood the meaning behind the words of the True Person Scarlet Robe, but the latter simply smiled and shook his head.

"Don't overthink it. For you, the most important thing right now is to Foundation Establishment. To be honest, your progress is much slower than I expected. You should have completely eliminated the foundation of your Five Elements Technique in half a year, instead of being only at the Qi Refining Layer 4."

"Yes, it's a real person."

Chen Mobai felt somewhat ashamed after hearing these words.

Even within the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy, his Spiritual Root talent was only considered above average.

Over the past six months, under the guidance of the True Person Scarlet Robe, he transformed the foundation of his Five Elements Technique into Pure Yang Spiritual Power, and only yesterday did he reach the fourth level of Qi Refining.

However, his Five Elements Technique was still at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer. This was not only because his Spiritual Root was average and his progress in cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll was too slow, but also because he used Qi Replenishing Spirit Water to improve himself every day.

This was the method taught to him by the True Person Scarlet Robe, because from the beginning he had discovered that Chen Mobai's Five Elements Technique Power, enhanced by the Qi Replenishing Spirit Water, was unstable and extremely superficial.

Realizing this, the True Person Scarlet Robe did not have Chen Mobai cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll to absorb spiritual energy and increase his spiritual power. Instead, he had him maintain the foundation of the Five Elements Technique with Qi Replenishing Spirit Water, and then use the method he taught to convert it into Pure Yang Spiritual Power. In this way, the foundation of the Pure Yang Scroll cultivated was extremely solid.

Just like loose soil being rolled over by a road roller, it becomes incredibly compacted and extremely pure.

"Alright, unless something else comes up, we probably won't see each other again. Our fate ends here."

After saying this, the True Person Scarlet Robe looked at the sun that had fully risen on the horizon, circulated his energy to refine the rising purple aura of the day, and then stood up and stepped into the clouds on the mountaintop.

"Although you did not accept me as your disciple, I have already regarded you as my master in my heart."

Seeing the True Person Scarlet Robe disappear into the clouds, Chen Mobai respectfully bowed to him as a teacher.

When he looked up, the True Person Scarlet Robe had already disappeared.

In fact, they had only met six times in the past six months.

But every time the True Person Scarlet Robe appeared, he was able to easily resolve Chen Mobai's doubts about cultivation, or even give him a wake-up call, pointing him in the right direction for cultivation.

If possible, Chen Mobai truly hoped to improve himself under the guidance of the True Person Scarlet Robe forever.

Unfortunately, happy times are always short-lived.

Today is the day he leaves Vermillion Cinnabar Academy, not only because half a year has passed, but also because tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

A month after the New Year, it will be the start of the new semester at the Wuqi Dao Academy. Chen Mobai will be preparing to leave Vermilion Cloud City and head to Chicheng Cave Heaven! University is different from junior and senior high school; there are no winter or summer vacations. The semester is a whole year long.

That's why Chen Mobai was able to stay at the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy for half a year without worry.

However, he was able to receive early instruction from the teaching staff of the Wuqi Dao Academy. Not every new student is able to receive half a year of attention and hands-on teaching from Golden Core True Person.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, there were no students left at the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy.

Shen Juanxiu and Luan Jingsheng had already returned home half a month ago.

Chan Si, who came from out of town, had bought a ticket and left a month ago.

After packing his luggage by himself, Chen Mobai put the stack of Talisman he had drawn on the table into his sleeve, and then went to the teacher on duty to complete the lease termination procedures.

Don't forget what you've got.

After the teacher on duty took back the Key, she gave a reminder.

"Thank you, teacher. I've brought them all."

After having breakfast at the school gate, Chen Mobai took the earliest bus and traveled for nearly two hours before finally arriving home.

It's a pity that Chen Xinglan won't be coming back for the Chinese New Year.

After Chen Mobai was admitted to the Wuqi Dao Academy, he seemed to have completely let go of all his worries. After buying enough Bigu Pill for two years, he directly applied to the Crimson Cloud Academy for a closed-door retreat.

Although Tang Pancui was reluctant, she knew what was important and instead told Chen Mobai not to bother Chen Xinglan unnecessarily, so that the latter could focus on his seclusion.

Chen Mobai could only smile wryly at this; he was still thinking of helping his father exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Unfortunately, he hasn't even joined the Divine Wood Sect yet. Even if he successfully joins the sect, according to the rules, he must become a true disciple and wait ten years before he is eligible to exchange for a discipleship.

"This year, it's just my mother and me for Chinese New Year."

Aren't Grandpa and Grandma coming?

"They are used to the warmth and life in the mountains and don't want to come to Vermilion Cloud City."

Chen Mobai felt very sorry after hearing this.

After dinner, Chen Mobai went upstairs.

He teleported to Green Light Island, but not to pick up anything; instead, he prepared to leave and Water Mansion.
