Object to Comprehend Together With
"This ring is Magic Artifact practicing swordsmanship."
"Those who Refine Sword into Qi can infuse their sword energy into it, which will then evolve into corresponding sword qi, saving Sword Cultivator time in condensing sword qi."
"However, its main function is similar to that of the Performance Puppet. It can help Sword Cultivator in the first realm to deduce the appearance of the second realm of Sword Qi Transformation, so that they know which direction they should strive in."
After listening to Chen Mobai's description, Ming Yihua fiddled with the various equipment in the Dao Academy's appraisal room for a long time, and then tried it out himself, finally discovering its true function.
No wonder it's called the "Sword Casting Ring".
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai suddenly understood why the South Mountain Bandits couldn't resist trying to snatch the item after recognizing it.
It's unknown which of the true disciples of Golden Light Cliff landed on Green Light Island. It's also possible that they perished while fighting against Demon Beast, leaving behind this Sword Casting Ring.
If one succeeds in Foundation Establishment in the future and needs to use the Crimson Flame Sword Art to cover up the Pure Yang Scroll's foundation, one can use this Sword Casting Ring to cultivate the Crimson Flame Sword Qi.
"This is quite a treasure. Where did you find it?"
After the appraisal was completed, Ming Yihua returned the Sword Casting Ring to Chen Mobai, who then casually mentioned an Ancient Treasure Street in Chicheng Cave Heaven.
"Isn't everything there a scam? How did you manage to find something like this while searching for gold in the sand?"
As a registered Grade 1 Appraiser and Artifact Refiner of the Immortal Sect, Ming Yihua, along with the reputation of the Wuqi Dao Academy, naturally has people asking him to go out and appraise some so-called ancient treasures and magical Magic Artifact on a regular basis.
Nine times out of ten they are fake, made by modern Artifact Refiner to imitate ancient artifacts.
"I'm lucky. By the way, have you been in touch with Yun Yangbing lately? I haven't seen him in a long time."
Chen Mobai immediately changed the subject.
"He recently went with his department's professors to a research institute to set up a Spirit Gathering Formation, but he should be back today."
At this point, Ming Yihua immediately called Yun Yangbing, who was indeed at the Dao Academy.
There was nothing more to say; Chen Mobai treated, and the three of them went out for a nice meal.
"By the way, Old Chen, I've also heard of your reputation as a Puppetry prodigy and a farming prince. Didn't you say you liked Talisman back then? How come you've become so unbalanced now?"
Ming Yihua ate while making jokes.
Chen Mobai could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Puppetry and Agriculture were both unpopular majors in the Dao Academy, and the number of students in their year who chose these two courses was less than half that of the Talisman Department.
Only eleven people chose the Puppetry Technique this year.
There were even fewer Agriculture, only seven.
If it weren't for the previous students choosing these unconventional courses for credits, we probably wouldn't even be able to fill a single class.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Mobai was able to appear taller than others, relying on practical experience to integrate the knowledge from the textbooks, and thus barely managed to maintain his title as a genius in these two courses.
"I guess I just don't have much talent when it comes to Talisman. Come on, let's not talk about that anymore, let's have a couple more drinks."
Chen Mobai immediately changed the subject again, asking about Yun Yangbing's progress in cultivating the Array Formation.
The latter shook his head and sighed.
"I overestimated myself a bit. I'll probably focus on cultivating the ' Earth Formations ' next year. Once I've passed the Second Grade of the Earth Formations exam, I'll start thinking about cultivating the Heavenly Formations."
Yun Yangbing also passed the first-level Earth Array Master exam last month, which Chen Mobai could only envy.
They are both true geniuses. Although Yun Yangbing failed to cultivate both the Earth Formations and the Heavenly Formations at the same time, he was able to complete the assessment of Hundred Arts of Cultivation at the age of twenty. In the Wuqi Dao Academy, this may be considered ordinary, but in the entire Immortal Sect, he is the most outstanding talent in Array Formation formation.
While drinking with them, Chen Mobai was also thinking about whether he should find some time to take a certificate exam.
However, due to my recent focus on cultivating the Longevity Sutra, my knowledge of Puppetry Technique and Spirit Plant is not yet fully developed, so I might fail if I were to take the exam.
For other universities, failing an assessment a few times is quite normal.
But for students of the Four Great Dao Academies, obtaining a first-level certificate is a disgrace if it's not achieved on the first try.
Thinking about this, Chen Mobai decided that he should study and improve further, and take the exam when he was more confident.
"I heard that Zhongli Tianyu broke through to the Foundation Establishment Second Layer some time ago."
Ming Yihua brought up another matter, which Chen Mobai and Yun Yangbing also knew about.
The students in the Spirit Transmutation Class who cultivated the Cantong Qi shared the same mentor as Zhongli Tianyu. When the latter broke through, the group chat was buzzing with discussion. Some were envious, some were inspired, and some were heartbroken and chose to give up.
"His Comprehend Together artifact is the Eight Trigrams Mirror of Ancestor Zhongli, so there's no need to waste time searching for it. After mastering the Cantong Qi, thanks to the support of this Fourth Grade magic treasure of the same bloodline, his cultivation speed will not be slow before Nascent Formation. It is estimated that he will be able to Foundation Establishment stage and attempt to Core Formation before he is a hundred years old."
Even the usually cheerful Ming Yihua felt a little envious at this point.
To cultivate the Cantong Qi, one needs to find a Comprehend Together object that resonates with the cultivator's destiny. A good example is Zhongli Tianyu, which is directly a magic weapon of his bloodline ancestor. Cultivation is twice as effective with half the effort, and one can break through realms without being blocked by bottlenecks.
Choosing the wrong option will slow down the cultivator's progress, resulting in wasted effort.
The geniuses in the Spirit Transmutation Class, although they all relied on their powerful talents to forcibly cultivate the Cantong Qi, all wanted their Comprehend Together items to be perfect, at least Third Grade Magic Tool or spiritual objects.
Therefore, for the time being, only Zhongli Tianyu has confirmed that his natal item will be used in the Comprehend Together in this year's competition.
"These Comprehend Together are not so easy to find. One of my grandfathers was originally incredibly talented, but he was unable to form his core because he wasted a lot of time on finding the Comprehend Together Core Formation."
Yun Yangbing chose the Pure Yang Scroll because there was such an example in her family.
"That's right. We'll start by cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll. Once we reach the Foundation Establishment, we can try the Spirit Tool Dual Cultivation Technique derived from the Cantong Qi. That way, we can at least reach the threshold of Core Formation. As long as I can Core Formation, I can say that I've done right by my parents and friends in this life."
Ming Yihua had a very clear plan for his cultivation path, which was one of the reasons he chose the Artifact Refining Department.
Chen Mobai couldn't say that he had temporarily put aside his cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll; only his Pure Yang Dharma Body was still using Spirit Stone to keep its progress going.
After finishing their barbecue and beer, the three members of the Pure Yang clique chatted for a while on their way back.
"When the Spirit Rice I planted is ripe, I will personally brew a pot of wine for you to taste."
When they parted at the school gate, Chen Mobai's words made Ming Yihua and Yun Yangbing look expectant. This Spirit Rice was naturally not the Jade Sprout Spirit Rice grown in the Divine Wood Sect, but the Spirit Rice from the half-acre experimental field allocated to the freshmen of the Agriculture.
Chen Mobai planted the Water Clear Rice from his hometown in the Taixu Mountain Range.
The wine brewed from this rice has a pure, sweet, and refreshing taste, like drinking nectar. Long-term consumption can also cleanse the body and Tendon Cleansing Marrow Washing.
Because he was familiar with the field from a young age, the rice he grew in his half-acre experimental Water Clear Rice was plump and full, which was highly praised by his mentor Lin Wenkang, who commended him for his talent in farming.
