What a Coincidence

Is it really that difficult? Chen Mobai was skeptical. Was it because the Four Great Dao Academies were hiding some cultivation secrets that hadn't been passed on? However, he couldn't ask that question. Anyway, he had already enrolled, and he still had ten years to study at his own pace.

Qu Hongyu then talked to him about some limitations of the "Critical Point Method".

The longer the card remains stuck, the more difficult the subsequent transformation steps become.

Based on the 500-year sample of the Immortal Sect, it is best not to get stuck for more than ten years. Ideally, all the steps should be completed within ten years.

The Imperial Medical Academy has a special course called Foundation Establishment Studies, which is dedicated to the study of Foundation Establishment.

Their latest research suggests that the reason why the three steps of Foundation Establishment spontaneously interact is because there is a special frequency that affects the final sublimation and leap.

If the time spent stuck is too long, the frequency will be interrupted, causing the cultivator to fail at the last step of sublimation, even if he has completed the three major steps.

Chen Mobai humbly accepted all of it.

Then, under Qu Hongyu's guidance, they arrived at the Library of the Wuqi Dao Academy.

After swiping his Student ID, he found a bookshelf related to Foundation Establishment, which contained various books on the "Critical Point Method".

"Detailed Explanation of Critical Point Method", "Insights on Critical Point Method", "Exploring the Original Meaning of the Critical Point Method - The Jade Lock Golden Gate Art", "How to Stall", "The Critical Point Method"...

Chen Mobai's eyes have been opened, but if he wants to read and understand all these books, it will probably take him at least a month or two.

Sigh, the Immortal Sect just have too much knowledge.

I don't know where to begin learning.

He could only borrow the most basic original copy of "Critical Point Method" for the time being.

After borrowing the book, Chen Mobai went to the Cave Mansion where his mentor, True Person Lesser Yang, was in seclusion. He wrote down his visit information on the message board at the entrance and then returned to the rented wooden house.

Since there were still three days left before school started, Chen Mobai teleported to the Divine Wood Sect to complete his wood-chopping task.

The first thing he did upon arriving in the Sky River Realm was to take out his phone, switch accounts, and enter the keyword "Critical Point Method" into the Auxiliary Cultivation software.

The software did not disappoint him; more than a dozen related posts appeared in a flash.

Chen Mobai browsed through the posts and found that many were anonymous. One person said that he had been cultivating for ten years without even getting the basics down, and he was very indignant, advising newcomers not to waste their time.

Another person said they had gained some knowledge, but mastering it would take too much time and wasn't worth the effort.

After reading it, only two cultivators from the Four Great Dao Academies gave a fair and objective account of their cultivation experience with the Critical Point Method.

But even Chen Mobai was completely confused after reading it.

This technique relies solely on comprehension; it has absolutely nothing to do with Spiritual Root or natural talent.

When you can comprehend locking in your Essence Blood, closing your Qi gate, and opening and closing your Purple Mansion, you will have accomplished your great task.

Another cultivator from the Imperial Medical Academy offered a learning approach: first read the original text, then the detailed explanation, then compare it with your own insights to learn How to Stall, and finally, if you really can't master it, you can explore the Ancient Method Jade Lock Golden Gate Art.

"Huh, what's this about membership level restrictions?"

Upon reading to the end of the post, Chen Mobai discovered that there was another page that required the highest level of membership to view.

That is, the Fifth Order that exists in theory.

Coincidentally, that's him.

Filled with curiosity, Chen Mobai clicked on the link and unlocked the page containing content that the poster had deliberately hidden, seemingly not wanting anyone to see.

"I mastered the Critical Point Method by a very coincidental means. At the time, I was researching how to ensure that my Yuanyang would not be lost after intercourse, so that I could remain a virgin forever and still enjoy the pleasure of intercourse."

"To study this topic, I conducted in-depth investigations and field research. After countless times of seeking special services at my own expense, I suddenly had an epiphany one day."

"I have mastered the Ancient Method Jade Lock Golden Gate Art."

"Then I reversed the Critical Point Method. This method was no longer difficult for me and I mastered it with ease."

"It's a pity that I mastered it a little too late, and I lost my Yuanyang long ago. But I'm still very happy that I was able to reach the Critical Point Method and finally succeed in Foundation Establishment."

"This is dedicated to the somewhat absurd topic."

The final signature was "[Imperial Medical Academy - Tian Wenguang]"! After reading it, Chen Mobai couldn't help but feel deeply impressed.

He didn't admire many people in his life. Venerable Qingping of the Five Elements Technique was one, and Tian Wenguang was the second.

A person who can gain profound enlightenment from such a situation is of an unheard-of level of spiritual attainment.

However, as much as he admires him, Chen Mobai, being a person of integrity, would certainly not follow Tian Wenguang's example.

Even if he Foundation Establishment Failure, his cultivation level drops, he is ridiculed, or even expelled from the Wuqi Dao Academy, he would never seek special services!

However, Tian Wenguang's learning approach is worth learning from.

However, the primary tasks now are still the Longevity Sutra and the Two Aspects Technique.

Chen Mobai went out and showed his face to Yuan Chiye and his fellow disciples, then picked up an axe and went to chop firewood in the Crimson Sun Forest.

The Crimson Sun Wood is tough and hard; even with the sharpening spell applied to this iron axe, it would take a dozen or twenty swings to barely cut it through.

After cutting down a tree, it is sawn into sections one meter long, and finally split into strips about three fingers wide.

It took Chen Mobai nearly four hours to split a tree into 120 pieces of Crimson Sun Firewood that met the standards of the Divine Wood Sect.

This won't do! Chen Mobai put down the iron axe, used his absorption technique to neatly pile up the Crimson Sun Firewood, and when he transported it to the New Bud Hall, he couldn't help but catch his breath, thinking to himself.

He doesn't have that much time to waste on things like chopping wood.

Ignoring the risk of being exposed, he returned to his cabin on Chicheng Mountain and immediately ordered a handheld electric saw online, followed by Table Saw Cutter cutting wood strips.

Chainsaws cut trees, table saws chop firewood.

Although both items were the lowest configuration available, they still cost Chen Mobai nearly 800 Merit Points points.

Unfortunately, since it is an offensive mechanical Magic Artifact, it requires a description of its purpose and registration of an ID card before it can be delivered.

Since Chen Mobai lived in the mountains, he had a legitimate excuse to repair his wooden house.

The seller didn't check carefully and just said that the item would be shipped first thing tomorrow morning, but that I would need to assemble it myself after it arrived.

Since it was a local shop in Chicheng Cave Heaven, the items were delivered in the afternoon. However, because Chen Mobai's place was a bit hard to find, a Pathfinding Talisman was wasted on the trip.

After the items arrived, Chen Mobai immediately assembled the chainsaw and table saw according to the store's video tutorial.

Then, he returned to the Divine Wood Sect at night, and while everyone else Qi Refining cultivation and meditating, he took two machines and went to the place where he usually chopped wood.

After attaching Silence Talisman to the machine, Chen Mobai used a Spirit-Seeking Talisman to confirm that no one was nearby. Then, he picked up his tool and started sawing away.

The next morning.

Yuan Chiye stared wide-eyed at the two thousand one hundred pieces of Crimson Sun Firewood that Chen Mobai had handed over, which were even more standard than the standard, as if they had been carved with a ruler before being cut.

"Senior Brother Yuan, this is my dosage for seven days. I need to take another seven days off to go into seclusion."
