Return to the Dao Academy

At noon, Chen Mobai put down his third-grade Talisman textbook, looking exhausted.

Then I felt dizzy and almost passed out.

He had never realized that learning could be such a painful thing.

If it weren't for not wanting to waste the medicinal power of the Spirit Opening Enlightenment Pill, he certainly wouldn't have forced himself to study for a whole day and night.

After 24 hours of intense brain activity, Chen Mobai felt completely drained.

My mind felt empty, my body felt weak, and even the flow of spiritual energy in my dantian began to slow down slightly.

Chen Mobai immediately took a picture of himself with a "Revival Talisman".

After a long while, my body finally recovered from the fatigue.

However, the empty sea of consciousness caused Chen Mobai to see blurry images and experience hallucinations.

Having told his grandfather and the others that this retreat would last for several days, Chen Mobai realized that something was wrong with his condition, so he stopped trying to hold back and went straight to bed, falling into a deep sleep.

I slept soundly for ages, and when I woke up, it was still dark outside.

I picked up my phone and checked the date.

He posted that he had slept for seven days and seven nights.

Chen Mobai rubbed his still throbbing temples, got out of bed, and couldn't help but call Qing Nü.

The effects of this "Spirit Opening Enlightenment Pill" are simply too good.

Compared to the gains, the aftereffects of these mere seven days of sleep are practically nonexistent.

Qing Nü, however, asked Chen Mobai in detail about his experience with the medicine. After learning that he had been unconscious for seven days, she became a little worried and immediately hung up the phone to consult her mentor.

She breathed a sigh of relief after realizing this was normal.

However, through this consultation, she learned that each student could only exchange for one of these pills, and that after taking one, they could not take a second one within ten years.

Qing Nü didn't pay any attention to the first half of the sentence, since she didn't need the "Spirit Opening Enlightenment Pill" anyway.

On the contrary, she immediately relayed the second half of the sentence to Chen Mobai, telling him not to take a second one within ten years.

Chen Mobai felt a little regretful after hearing this.

Although the emptiness and fatigue after the Spirit Awakening state made him feel a little uncomfortable, the feeling of understanding everything and comprehending everything was simply wonderful.

He was indeed thinking about whether he should take it a few more times to develop himself into an all-around cultivator.

Under the influence of this pill, Chen Mobai not only fully comprehended all the knowledge of first-tier Talisman, but also gained some understanding of Second Grade.

Even if you asked him to draw the Crimson Flame Three Sword Talisman now, it seems he could succeed after just a few tries.

"For the next six months, you'd better not drastically deplete your Spiritual Sense."

Qing Nü gave a brief instruction, then had to hang up because it was time for her to go to the medicine pool for her shift.

"Okay, by the way, did you receive the items?"

"I received it. It's a very pretty bell, and I like it very much."

"I'm glad you like it."

"If..."

Before Qing Nü could finish her last sentence, she hung up on herself.

Chen Mobai didn't think much of it. His mind was still in the aftereffects of the Spirit Awakening, and he was a little dazed. He lay down and fell asleep again.

When he woke up, he finally felt his energy and spirits return.

After emerging from seclusion, he demonstrated his Qi Cultivation Level 8 cultivation to his maternal grandparents and Tang Pancui, indicating that his seclusion was a great success.

The three family members were naturally very happy. The maternal grandmother even killed an old hen, and the maternal grandfather also brought out a jar of old Yellow Wine that he had buried for five years.

As for Tang Pancui, she couldn't wait any longer and went to the village to show off to all the aunts and uncles.

"Third Aunt, you have no idea what my son is like..."

While Chen Mobai and his grandfather were having a drink, the news that he had broken through to the Qi Cultivation Level 8 at the age of twenty had already spread throughout Green Mountain Village.

Soon, Chen Mobai couldn't stay in Green Mountain Village any longer.

Many neighbors brought their children to his door, along with fine wine and rice, hoping that Chen Mobai would take them as his apprentices.

He himself was only at the Qi Refining stage, how could he dare to mislead others?

But the villagers were so enthusiastic that even after he refused, they brought their children to visit him every day, making Chen Mobai, who originally wanted to study in peace, feel as if he had returned to Vermilion Cloud City.

Left with no other choice, Chen Mobai told his grandparents that he would leave his mother there to attract attention, while he bought a ticket back to Chicheng Cave Heaven.

One night, instead of having his grandfather drive him, he drew two Divine Speed Talisman, pasted them on, and left Green Mountain Village directly.

And so, he returned to the Dao Academy after staying at home for less than half a month.

Upon returning, Chen Mobai discovered that Ming Yihua had arrived even earlier than him.

Nearly half of their graduating class came back.

At the school gate, a few students from the Spirit Transmutation Class had a meal together and chatted about their experiences going home, which were all pretty much the same.

Chen Mobai finally understood why most students at the Wuqi Dao Academy chose to stay at Chicheng Mountain during their holidays.

It turns out it wasn't because they worked hard, but because the place was peaceful.

"Old Chen, your wine tastes pretty good."

Ming Yihua was drinking the Yellow Wine that Chen Mobai's grandfather had given him before he left.

However, this batch was only aged for two years, but because of the excellent yeast and the high quality of the Water Clear Rice used, even though the aging process was not perfect, Ming Yihua and his companions still thoroughly enjoyed it.

The wine is clear and transparent, with a rich aroma after opening the jar. It is sweet and delicious on the palate and does not cause intoxication. After a while, a mellow flavor spreads in the stomach, making the whole person slightly tipsy.

However, the Yellow Wine had a strong aftereffect, but when I woke up the next day, I felt an extraordinary sense of comfort and ease.

It's like all your muscles and bones are loosened up, and your Qi and Blood flow smoothly.

The efficiency of refining spiritual energy even increased by one percentage point.

This Yellow Wine, if sold in the Sky River Realm, would cost at least 5 Spirit Stone per jar.

Chen Mobai had drunk the Jade Sprout Spirit Wine that Qi Rui bought; it cost 1 Spirit Stone for a small jar, and it was nowhere near as good as his.

He felt that if he reached the Qi Cultivation Perfection, he could develop a business that combined farming, brewing wine, opening a shop, and earning Spirit Stone.

Of course, first he needs to improve his winemaking skills.

Although there is my grandfather's yeast, the rice used is not Water Clear Rice, but Jade Sprout Spirit Rice from Giant Wood Ridge, so the brewed wine may be different.

However, Chen Mobai felt that with the abundant spiritual energy in Giant Wood Ridge, even if his skills were a little lacking, the wine he brewed would definitely not be much worse.

"By the way, Lao Wang, aren't you in the Alchemy Department? Do you have any extra Qi Replenishing Spirit Water to sell me?"

Chen Mobai asked a boy named Wang Xingyu from the Spirit Transmutation Class.

"We can make as much as you want; this stuff is easy to refine."

Wang Xingyu drank Chen Mobai's wine, his face flushed, and he patted his chest to vouch for it.

The Qi Replenishing Spirit Water that Qing Nü had refined for Chen Mobai before going to the Goumang Dao Academy had already run out. Now that she was following a good mentor, she had many opportunities to improve her Alchemy skills and no longer needed to find someone to support her.

Of course, even if Qing Nü agreed, Chen Mobai didn't want to waste her time.
