Returning Home in Glory

Qing Nü didn't reply, Chen Mobai called Yan Bingxuan again.

Since it was agreed last year that no one would return, Yan Da Meiren did not return to Vermilion Cloud City either. She was diligently cultivating her Ice Spirit Root at the Natural Academy.

However, there was good news: her best friend and class monitor, Mo Simin, had returned. Although Chen Mobai was not her close friend, he was at least an acquaintance.

After saying goodbye to Hua Zijing and handing over the Student Union matters to her, Chen Mobai booked a plane ticket overnight and returned to Vermilion Cloud City.

Wu Shangru had already arranged everything. When the City Lord of Vermilion Cloud City learned that Chen Mobai was going to transfer his household registration back, he came over in person to witness the handover agreement between the two.

The City Lord of Vermilion Cloud City is named Qin Baipeng. He is a graduate of the Heavenly Script Academy. He has a thin face but bright eyes. When he stands there, he gives people the impression of a straight and upright bamboo, upright and powerful.

"After you have achieved mastery of your cultivation, if you still think about returning to your hometown, you will become the second True Person Scarlet Robe."

After witnessing Chen Mobai and Wu Shangru sign the two contracts, Qin Baipeng spoke with great satisfaction.

"Greetings, City Lord. I wonder if the land use rights for this industrial site can be renewed?"

The land for the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory was allocated to Wu Shangru, a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, by the Immortal Sect of Vermilion Cloud City. Four years later, Chen Mobai will officially obtain the factory. Due to the change of ownership of the buildings on the land, the land use rights will automatically become invalid.

It is necessary to renew the land use agreement with the Vermilion Cloud City Immortal Sect government in Chen Mobai's name.

"No problem. Once you move your household registration back, I will immediately allocate this land to your name."

Qin Baipeng is also a decisive person, and he explained things clearly to the person in front of him.

"Then can I transfer my household registration now?"

Wu Shangru, who was standing to the side, immediately asked, and received a shake of the head from Qin Baipeng.

"It's not a big deal if it takes a little more time. Xiao Chen will need to study at Chicheng Cave Heaven for four more years before he can graduate. He can move his household registration back then, and you can move yours out later. Anyway, you've already started working there, so it won't make a difference if you take four more years."

Wu Shangru had known about this for a long time. He had planned that if Qin Baipeng really refused to release the person, he would ask the two Golden Core True Person to intervene.

At least we've received a positive response, but unfortunately we still have to wait another four years.

"Actually, there's no problem if I move my household registration back right now."

Seeing Wu Shangru sigh, Chen Mobai felt a little embarrassed, after all, he had gotten the Talisman factory that he had painstakingly managed for fifty years for free, so he put forward his own ideas.

"Oh, that would be best."

Qin Baipeng laughed when he heard this.

According to the regulations of the Immortal Sect, after enrolling in a local university, students can choose whether or not to transfer their household registration there, based on the principle of voluntariness.

When Chen Mobai enrolled in school, he wanted to experience what it was like to be a resident of the Great Cave Heaven, so he chose this option.

Now that there are such benefits to moving back, he decided it would be better to return earlier, which could also be considered as fulfilling Wu Shangru's wishes.

As expected, his words brought joy to all three people present.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Qin Baipeng personally helped Chen Mobai complete the procedures for transferring his household registration back to his hometown. After receiving the confirmation from Vermilion Cloud City, Chicheng Cave Heaven did not object further and directly stamped and approved the application.

"That's how it is over at the Great Cave Heaven. They basically don't check people who move out, but for people who move in, if it's not a strict requirement from the Immortal Sect like your Dao Academy students, they'll check almost your entire family, including three generations of your ancestors."

After Qin Baipeng completed Chen Mobai's household registration transfer, he said something with a slightly sarcastic tone, and then stamped the document to transfer Wu Shangru's household registration out.

"My Daoist partner is registered in Huayang Cave Heaven. If it weren't for your interference, I would have been registered there long ago."

Wu Shangru grumbled slightly at this, saying that if it weren't for Qin Baipeng holding him back all these years, he would have left Vermilion Cloud City long ago.

"You owe your current wealth entirely to the support of the Immortal Sect in Vermilion Cloud City. Now that your cultivation level is high, you think you can just clap your hands and leave with tens of millions of assets? It's not that easy."

Qin Baipeng was also a man of strong character, and his words were anything but polite.

Wu Shangru knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't say much and just gave an awkward smile.

"Make sure the handover of the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory is smooth, otherwise even if you go to Huayang Cave Heaven, I have ways to affect your reputation."

The three of them had a meal together. Qin Baipeng gave Wu Shangru a final instruction, saying that the latter would guarantee this without Qin Baipeng having to say it.

After all, on this Earth Origin Star, no cultivator can stand against the Immortal Sect system.

In the days that followed, Chen Mobai followed Wu Shangru to familiarize himself with the operation of the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory.

He finally saw the fully automated Talisman Ink production equipment he had been dreaming of. As long as the raw materials were put in and the equipment was operated by personnel, after a certain period of time, the finest and almost impurity-free high-quality Talisman Ink could be obtained.

There were three such machines in the entire factory, all of which Wu Shangru left to Chen Mobai.

In addition to Talisman Ink machines, there are also paper-making machines and printing machines.

Chen Mobai even found a device for making Talisman Brush.

However, according to Wu Shangru, this equipment was a second-hand item he found online, and it can only make first-tier Talisman Brush.

Although the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory is not large, it is fully equipped with all the necessary equipment and machines for Talisman Making talismans, representing the culmination of Wu Shangru's fifty years of hard work.

However, in order to Core Formation, he resolutely gave it all up.

After leading Chen Mobai on the tour, Wu Shangru gathered all the factory employees and announced the handover. Apart from Tang Pancui and some senior executives who already knew, most people were shocked but also somewhat prepared.

After all, Wu Shangru had already mentioned this matter several years ago.

Within the Immortal Sect, Cultivation Realm has always been paramount.

Compared to the possibility of Core Formation, this factory has indeed become an obstacle for Wu Shangru to advance further.

"I will stay here for another six months to ensure a smooth handover of the factory to your mother."

Chen Mobai was still studying and naturally couldn't manage him for long periods of time. Wu Shangru took this into consideration and offered to help.

Meanwhile, Tang Pancui, who is usually very carefree, was actually quite apprehensive at this moment.

After all, she had worked her whole life, and suddenly being asked to be the boss's wife was a bit of a shock.

"Thank you, Uncle Wu."

Chen Mobai thanked Wu Shangru; with those words from him, he could at least feel much more at ease.

I got home in the evening.

He then told Chen Xinglan about this, wanting his father to quit his job and help out at the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory.

Chen Xinglan naturally agreed with this.

Chen Mobai stayed in Vermilion Cloud City for half a month. In addition to helping his parents take over the factory, he also took the time to visit the True Person Scarlet Robe.

Unfortunately, the True Person Scarlet Robe has been in seclusion since last year, and we still haven't seen him.

But taking this opportunity, he had a short get-together with Chan Si, Shen Juanxiu, Luan Jingsheng.

Among them, Shen Juanxiu Foundation Establishment Failure again and was completely disheartened. Under the arrangement of her family, she went on blind dates and found someone she liked. She planned to get married and then manage the family business.

Chen Mobai could only offer a few words of advice, telling her never to give up on her ambition to reach the summit, no matter when or where, and that even after marriage and childbirth, she should still have hope for her Foundation Establishment.

Because of Shen Juanxiu's repeated failures, Chan Si has developed a shadow over Foundation Establishment. Although he had prepared the Foundation Establishment Trio long ago, he is now buried in studying the Critical Point Method, wanting to comprehend this divine skill of Foundation Establishment before taking this step.

Anyway, she's still young, and Chen Mobai is very supportive of her decision.

If you can't Foundation Establishment before graduation, you'll have to serve ten years in the military. While this might be a good opportunity for some to hone their skills and gain valuable experience, it's just a training exercise for most.

Luan Jingsheng is still accumulating Merit Points to purchase the Foundation Establishment Trio. He can receive one of them from the academy, but he still needs to find a way to get the other two himself.

So he obtained First-Grade Talisman Master certificate and has been studying hard these past few years, hoping to become First-Grade Artifact Refiner.

These three old friends of the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy all have bright futures.

When Shen Juanxiu heard that Chen Mobai had acquired the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory, her eyes lit up. Her family's Spirit Sand Mine customers included various Talisman factories in Vermilion Cloud City, as well as some individual customers with specific needs.

The purchase and supply of Spirit Sand for this Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory was not previously handled by her family. After Chen Mobai took over, she felt she should try to secure this business.

"Given our relationship, you should be my priority. However, I've just taken over the family business, so for the first two years, we need to maintain the previous model. Once I've figured things out, I'll switch the supplier of the Spirit Sand to your company."

Before Chen Mobai Foundation Establishment in the immortal Immortal Sect, most of his initial funding came from Shen Juanxiu's generosity, so he naturally agreed to her request.

"Okay, I'll graduate next year and officially join the family business. I'll take this order from you then, which will also be a performance indicator for my promotion."

Shen Juanxiu was very happy to hear this.

There's a principle in the military service system of the Immortal Sect: if a female cultivator becomes pregnant, she can be exempted from military service.

That's why Shen Juanxiu was in such a hurry to get married. But basically, female cultivators who do this are giving up the possibility of Foundation Establishment. That's why Chen Mobai advised her against it before.

"Brother Luan is First-Grade Talisman Master. If you are willing, you can join my Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory. The Talisman Making industry is basically saturated, but there is still a lot of room for maneuver in Talisman Artifact. I plan to focus on developing this area in the future."

Chen Mobai then invited Luan Jingsheng, who was able to forge the Five Transformations Umbrella, Talisman Artifact, even before graduating, making him undoubtedly a talented individual.

Luan Jingsheng was naturally willing. He hadn't accumulated enough Merit Points yet, and compared to following Wu Wan on small-scale projects, joining a large company was a more promising path.

"So I'm the only one being excluded by you, a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator."

Chan Si made a joking remark, and Chen Mobai dared not respond, but instead smiled and raised his wine glass to toast her.

"If Teacher Chan is willing to come to our company, I will naturally welcome him with open arms."

"Forget it, I've already gathered the Foundation Establishment Trio. Now I only have the mindset to Foundation Establishment. If I Foundation Establishment Failure in the future, I'll come to your company to earn some Merit Points."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai wished her success in Foundation Establishment.

After arranging for Luan Jingsheng to start his job, Chen Mobai went to visit Shi Qujin.

"Nephew, you truly deserve to be the Chief of the Wuqi Dao Academy. Your Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye are probably no less powerful than mine."

Inside the Jade Artifact Hall, two Foundation Establishment True Cultivator were drinking tea and chatting, while Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling listened from the side. Based on her years of experience cultivating the Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye, Shi Qujin noticed that Chen Mobai's eyes were crystal clear and lustrous, like a pure void, and she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of emotion.

"I was lucky enough to obtain some spiritual items suitable for cultivation at the Dao Academy."

Chen Mobai didn't mention that his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye was already superior to his, but humbly changed the subject, talking about how he had moved his household registration back and taken over the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory.

"Sigh, I really envy Xiao Wu. At least he still has the possibility of giving up everything to pursue the Core Formation."

Shi Qujin already knew about this matter. After all, there were only about fifty Foundation Establishment True Cultivator in Vermilion Cloud City. Those who had a chance to Core Formation would try to go to those Great Cave Heaven.

Wu Shangru had the potential to Core Formation, so his departure was something they had long anticipated.

However, unexpectedly, it was Chen Mobai who came back to take over.

"We didn't expect our nephew to be willing to come back."

"The Dao Academy can exchange for Fire Element Golden Core Forming Pill. It doesn't matter where my household registration is. If I had the chance to obtain Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill Elixir, I would probably be even more eager than Uncle Wu."

Chen Mobai said something self-deprecatingly, but Shi Qujin couldn't laugh.

He probably won't even reach the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer in his lifetime; he gave up many years ago.

"Nephew, please come visit often when you have time."

After visiting Shi Qujin, which was also a way of expressing his friendly attitude to the other Foundation Establishment True Cultivator in Vermilion Cloud City, Chen Mobai took his leave.

Later, Chen Mobai treated his classmates Mo Simin, Shi Jingjing Cao Yaling, and others to a meal, but unfortunately many of them made excuses not to come.

He didn't care and began to focus on running his first business.

The Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory has an annual output value of about 20 million Merit Points, and last year's profit was 1.2 million Merit Points. Chen Mobai was very puzzled by this. If a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator went to work, he could earn a salary of one million Merit Points per year. Wouldn't Wu Shangru's hard work in opening the factory be in vain?

Wu Shangru personally provided the answer to this. It turns out that he also has a personal brand Talisman Shop on the Immortal Sect Network, which sells high-quality Talisman of the Second Grade and above. The profit from this part is also one million Merit Points.

But since the raw materials all came from the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory, he made a pure profit.

No wonder Wu Shangru gave up his business in Vermilion Cloud City so readily; he had already established his own brand.

Chen Mobai could only admire him and could not criticize him. However, Wu Shangru still agreed that from now on, he would perform Merit Points Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink he obtained from the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory.

Chen Mobai humbly sought advice from Wu Shangru on business experience, and the latter answered all his questions.

"Uncle Wu, if I want to accumulate four million Merit Points in a short period of time, do you have any good suggestions?"

"That's easy. The Talisman factory I left you is a high-quality asset with no debts or loans. You can take the property rights and land use rights certificates to the Immortal Sect Bank as collateral. Don't even mention four million, you can easily get a loan of eight million, even if it's doubled."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai expressed that he had learned something.
