Coincidentally, Ming Yihua's Foundation Establishment time was excellent.

It was the end of the semester, and the Foundation Establishment students who had been diligently cultivating in Myriad Treasures Cave for a year would open their Artifact Nurturing Sphere at this time every year.

However, Ming Yihua was unlucky.

Because True Person Lesser Yang was still in seclusion, no one took him to the depths of the Myriad Treasures Cave to retrieve the highest-level access Artifact Piece belonging to a newly Foundation Establishment from Duanmu Longrong.

However, as Artifact Refiner, Ming Yihua became fascinated with the Artifact Nurturing Sphere after hearing about it from Chen Mobai.

Although it was a pity there were no Artifact Piece, he was already extremely lucky to be able to come in and take a look.

"You're too slow."

Chen Mobai, who was waiting at the tunnel entrance, couldn't help but complain when he saw Ming Yihua descending from the sky.

Ming Yihua could have easily descended on his Crimson Cloud Mist Silk, but having just Foundation Establishment and not yet had his fill of flying, he insisted on flying himself, wasting a great deal of time.

Ming Yihua, who had underestimated the altitude of Myriad Treasures Cave, flew here and looked a little pale.

"How was I supposed to know that Flight Art would consume so much spiritual energy?"

After falling into the tunnel, Ming Yihua sat down with a thud, took a breath, and immediately began to refine the rich Fire Spiritual Qi here.

Chen Mobai could only wait for him with a helpless expression, but this was also a good opportunity to observe the phenomena of the Pure Yang Scroll Foundation Establishment.

Although it wasn't easy to see directly with the Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye, he still gained quite a bit from observing the surrounding spiritual energy swarming into Ming Yihua's seven orifices.

In fact, Chen Mobai had already accumulated enough Pure Yang Spiritual Power. If he were to choose to directly Foundation Establishment, he would have a 99% chance of success.

However, in order to wait for the opportunity to Dao Awakening Foundation Establishment, he suppressed his desire.

Having witnessed Ming Yihua's Pure Yang Scroll Foundation Building Chapter in operation, and comparing it with my own usual understanding, I have vaguely come to some conclusions.

"Let's go."

Half an hour later, Ming Yihua, having recovered most of her spiritual power, stood up in high spirits.

Chen Mobai led him through the tunnel, across the underground currents, and soon arrived at the underground cave plaza where the Student Union was located.

Compared to the sparse population of the past, there are now sixty or seventy people.

They are all Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.

There were many people setting up stalls, displaying Dead Seal Artifact Nurturing Sphere.

Chen Mobai spotted a familiar face: Qu Hongyu, the senior student who had greeted him when he enrolled.

If I remember correctly, she should have already graduated.

"Senior, what a coincidence."

Upon meeting, they naturally greeted each other. Qu Hongyu recognized Chen Mobai and responded cheerfully.

"It's you. I really didn't expect that you would be the first one in your class to reach the Foundation Establishment."

"Senior is wrong, Zhongli Tianyu is the first one."

Chen Mobai was quite modest. Compared to Zhongli Tianyu, who broke through realms as easily as drinking water after entering the academy, he was merely an average person.

"You're still so modest. By the way, you two are both newly established Foundation Establishment, you must have Artifact Piece, right? I know of two sealed Artifact Nurturing Sphere, would you like them?"

Qu Hongyu caught the last train in her tenth grade, successfully Foundation Establishment. She then applied for an extension of her graduation and is now a teaching assistant for the Spirit Flower Cultivation course under the Spirit Plant Department.

For Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, there is plenty of time outside of classes, and the spiritual energy in the Myriad Treasures Cave is abundant, so most of their cultivation time is spent here.

Having found two sealed Artifact Nurturing Sphere, Qu Hongyu didn't have enough credits herself, decided to come and see if anyone needed them.

She is not a trading Artifact Nurturing Sphere.

After all, the Artifact Piece are the most important thing. Therefore, if you receive information from the other party and find something good in the Myriad Treasures Cave, you will need to transfer a certain amount of Merit Points as an information fee afterwards.

If you get something ordinary, such as the lowest- Second Grade- quality item, or a defective item, then you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Generally speaking, to obtain a Second Grade magic Magic Artifact, one needs to transfer a symbolic 10,000 Merit Points.

A perfectly intact Second Grade Magic Artifact costs 100,000 Merit Points for information.

However, if the information fee is for Third Grade Magic Tool, it would be over a million.

However, it has been nearly twenty years since Third Grade Magic Tool were obtained from the Myriad Treasures Cave.

The sealed Artifact Nurturing Sphere cannot be moved, so an information provider is needed to take it there. Chen Mobai and Ming Yihua were both very interested, but they hadn't finished exploring all the stalls in the square yet, so the three of them agreed to go back and take a look when they had time in a few days.

"It seems the Student Union is going to open a Dead Seal Artifact Nurturing Sphere around noon, so don't miss it!"

After adding the contact information of the two Foundation Establishment juniors, Qu Hongyu shared some news.

Chen Mobai led Ming Yihua to browse the stalls for the Dead Seal Artifact Nurturing Sphere, which were much simpler to make than the Live Sealed ones.

If you find something you like, as long as you can reach an agreement, you can transfer it directly. After that, no matter what you offer, there will be no need to pay any transfer fees.

Although the Artifact Nurturing Sphere belonged to the Wuqi Dao Academy before they were opened, it was tacitly accepted that the students would receive a fee for their hard work in digging them up from various parts of the Myriad Treasures Cave.

Chen Mobai stopped at another acquaintance's stall.

"Oh, is this also a new junior?"

Mi Yudao looked at Ming Yihua and asked curiously.

"That's right, my good brother here is the Chief in our Artifact Refining Department this year."

Chen Mobai nodded and introduced Ming Yihua. The latter was not flamboyant in front of outsiders and introduced himself very humbly.

"Interested? I have four Dead Seal Artifact Nurturing Sphere here."

Mi Yudao pointed to the White Jade Sphere on his stall, indicating that Ming Yihua could reach out and play with it.

As for Chen Mobai, he had already read them all. However, when Ming Yihua curiously picked up a Artifact Nurturing Sphere to examine it, Mi Yudao said that he had found another sealed Artifact Nurturing Sphere in the past six months, which was under the roots of a Fire Spirit Tree.

"Oh, there are even Spirit Plant in this Myriad Treasures Cave?"

Chen Mobai was quite curious after hearing this.

The Longevity Sutra he is currently cultivating happens to be a wood-based technique. If he could unlock Third Grade Wood Attribute Magic Artifact, that would be an excellent thing.

"The Myriad Treasures Cave is the number one Fire Spirit Vein in the Immortal Sect. Apart from the Vermilion Fruit Tree, this Fire Spirit Tree is the only one that can survive here. However, this tree cannot bear fruit and can only be used to regulate fire poison. Since it is stored under its roots, I deduce that it is probably not Wood Attribute magic Magic Artifact, but Fire Attribute one."

Mi Yudao, however, relied on his experience and made a guess that differed from Chen Mobai's.

"That makes sense."

Ming Yihua, standing to the side, offered his judgment, concluding that Mi Yudao was correct.

He is Second Grade Artifact Refiner and Second Grade Treasure Appraiser. If he hadn't been busy with Foundation Establishment this year, he would have been preparing to take the Third Grade exam.

Chen Mobai trusted his good friend's professional competence.

If it's Fire Attribute, Chen Mobai is even more interested.

"Have you had someone take a look at it?"

"With you, why would I need to find someone else?"

Mi Yudao shook his head. Chen Mobai helped him see things with his Spiritual Eye for free, and every credit he could save was a credit.

"Once the Dead Seal Artifact Nurturing Sphere opens today, we'll go take a look."

After making the appointment, Chen Mobai led Ming Yihua to browse the other stalls selling Dead Seal Artifact Nurturing Sphere.

The prices were found to be very confusing, ranging from low to high.

Since they were all students, the Student Union seemed too lazy to care about these things, so some were asking for a high price of 800,000 Merit Points, while the lowest was only 10,000 Merit Points.

Chen Mobai put on the black-rimmed glasses that concealed the spiritual light emitted when the Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye was activated, and picked up the Artifact Nurturing Sphere priced at 800,000.

This Artifact Nurturing Sphere is quite strange compared to others. It seems that the Magic Artifact sealed inside is rather large, so the general outline can be faintly seen on the surface of the white jade shell.

"It looks like a cauldron."

After taking a look, Ming Yihua hesitated and said something.

Chen Mobai nodded. Through his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye, he easily saw through the inside of the Dead Seal Artifact Nurturing Sphere, which turned out to be a three-legged, two-eared cauldron-shaped magical Magic Artifact.

The "ding" has always been one of the most popular shapes among Magic Artifact.

It can be used for Alchemy and Artifact Refining, as well as as a defensive Magic Artifact. Occasionally, it can also be used for attack. When setting up an array, it can also serve as the array eye, making it an all-around Magic Artifact.

Ming Yihua himself possessed a Second Grade low-level cauldron-shaped magic Magic Artifact, which was the work that helped him pass the Second Grade Artifact Refiner assessment.

"This Dead Seal Artifact Nurturing Sphere of mine has a certain probability of yielding Third Grade Blaze Dragon Cauldron, so the price of 800,000 Merit Points is not low at all."

The speaker was a young man with slightly yellow skin, who was extremely confident in his own Artifact Nurturing Sphere.

"Too expensive. There are at least eighty or a hundred cauldron-shaped magical Magic Artifact sealed in the Myriad Treasures Cave. This Dead Seal Artifact Nurturing Sphere might have been sealed for a long time, and the Nurturing Spirit Liquid inside has started to lose its effectiveness, which is why the power of the Magic Artifact has leaked out."

Chen Mobai immediately started bargaining. After all, he had spent a lot of time in the market, and his skillful bargaining left Ming Yihua, who was standing next to him, stunned.

"Hmph, a flat price of 800,000. If you don't open it, plenty of others will. At least my Dead Seal Artifact Nurturing Sphere can open the cauldron."

The slightly yellow-skinned youth was impatient, and at this moment, two Foundation Establishment True Cultivator came over, wanting to see the most expensive Dead Seal Artifact Nurturing Sphere in the square, so they began to talk impatiently.

"Why don't you just say it's Fourth Grade True Dragon Cauldron?"

Chen Mobai shook his head. The moment he touched it, he felt a warmth that was different from other Artifact Nurturing Sphere. He could also faintly feel the power of the Magic Artifact, as if even the seal could not stop it.

"Senior, I'm a freshman who just Foundation Establishment this year. I need to open a Artifact Nurturing Sphere. Yours is pretty good. Why don't you give it to me?"

Ming Yihua said something with a grin that almost made the slightly sallow-faced young man blush.

Compared to the Artifact Piece that others exchange for 100 credits, the Artifact Piece issued to new Foundation Establishment by Duanmu Longrong have the highest authority in the Myriad Treasures Cave, allowing them to open any Artifact Nurturing Sphere here.

Therefore, unless the slightly sallow-faced youth also takes out a Artifact Piece and decides to open this special Dead Seal Artifact Nurturing Sphere himself, the newly Foundation Establishment can directly obtain this Artifact Nurturing Sphere.

After all, the entire Myriad Treasures Cave's Artifact Nurturing Sphere belongs to the Dao Academy.

It was already against regulations to set up a stall here and sell Dead Seal Artifact Nurturing Sphere, but the Dao Academy just didn't bother to care.

Ming Yihua learned about this matter during her conversation with Mi Yudao, so when she saw the young man with a slightly sallow complexion asking for such an expensive price and having a bad attitude, she deliberately said that.

"Young men, it wasn't easy for me to earn this Merit Points, so please do me a favor."

It was only then that the slightly yellow-skinned youth realized that Chen Mobai and Ming Yihua were complete strangers, and this was the first time he had seen them here. He was now almost certain they were indeed newly minted Foundation Establishment, and immediately began to beg for mercy with a wry smile.

"I think you might want to keep the price of 800,000 Merit Points for yourself."

Although Chen Mobai and Ming Yihua could use the rules of the Dao Academy to forcibly open the Artifact Nurturing Sphere, doing so might be resisted by many senior Foundation Establishment, so they only talked about it and did not actually do it.

After setting down the Artifact Nurturing Sphere that sealed the cauldron-shaped Magic Artifact, the two began browsing the other stalls.

"I have a feeling that the cauldron must be something good."

After walking a distance, Ming Yihua secretly told Chen Mobai, who was slightly startled, thinking that he, as a professional, had seen something that Chen Mobai did not know.

"I am Pure Yang Scroll Foundation Establishment. The moment I touched it, I felt a warm sensation on my arm, and my Pure Yang Spiritual Power became slightly more active. It might be a Fire Attribute Magic Artifact is very suitable for our lineage."

"You want to drive it?"

"I have that plan, but isn't True Person Lesser Yang in seclusion? I haven't gotten my hands on that Artifact Piece yet."

Ming Yihua finished speaking, Chen Mobai remained silent for a moment, and then he led the former directly into the three-story Small Western-style Building of the Student Union.

This time, it wasn't the familiar Lu Tiansuan on duty, but another fair-skinned, smiling boy with squinted eyes.

Chen Mobai brought Ming Yihua here, naturally intending to use the Myriad Treasures Map.

"I can see the shape of that cauldron with my Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye. If you want to open it, you'd better search for it in the Myriad Treasures Map first. Maybe you'll find the answer."

Since Ming Yihua has such an idea, Chen Mobai will definitely give it his full support.

Ming Yihua could afford the 2-credit search fee. The two looked at all the cauldron-shaped magical Magic Artifact found by the Myriad Treasures Map and checked them one by one. Finally, Chen Mobai identified a Second Grade high-grade magical Magic Artifact, the Profound Yang Cauldron.

The search revealed that the previous owner of this Magic Artifact was also a practitioner of the Pure Yang Scroll, and a master who had cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.

Unfortunately, he was ultimately trapped in the Pure Yang Dharma Body and his lifespan was exhausted, preventing him from Core Formation.

No wonder Ming Yihua felt a reaction from the Pure Yang Spiritual Power when he touched it.

Having understood this, the two felt more confident.

Second Grade high-grade Magic Artifact is quite good. Given that no Third Tier Magic Tool have been found in the past twenty years, Ming Yihua would definitely be willing to use his own Artifact Piece to try and open one.

However, he was somewhat reluctant to spend an additional 800,000 Merit Points.

Although we could use the Dao Academy's rules to force it open, let's try to negotiate if possible.

Just as the two were about to leave, the squinty-eyed boy from the Student Union called out to them.

"Are you two the new Foundation Establishment this year?"

"Yes."

"I really like the Profound Yang Cauldron. How about you give it to me?"

Upon hearing his words, both Chen Mobai and Ming Yihua frowned.
