Purple Lightning Sword Suits Me Well
"Thank you for your hard work this time."
Inside the Alchemy room, Chen Mobai received a jar of ointment sealed with Restriction from Qing Nü and sincerely thanked the beautiful young woman before him.
"It's not hard work, you've helped me even more."
Qing Nü smiled as she tidied up the Magic Artifact artifacts and equipment used in the Alchemy room. She had always kept in mind the kindness she had shown in Vermilion Cloud City.
"I'm leaving."
After putting away the ointment, Chen Mobai checked his phone. It was already noon, and the afternoon was the time he had agreed to lead the Wuqi Dao Academy away from Linwu Cave Heaven.
When Qing Nü heard this, she paused in tidying up her Magic Artifact, but still turned around, squinted her eyes, and smiled, saying, "Have a safe journey."
Chen Mobai nodded and turned to leave.
But his steps suddenly felt heavy, and he wondered if he should say something more.
"What's wrong? Is there something else?"
Seeing him stop in place, Qing Nü couldn't help but ask curiously.
"You are now part of the Sky Mending Group. Do not investigate your childhood anymore."
For some reason, Chen Mobai suddenly said those words.
Even though he had already rejected Kong Feichen, at the moment of parting, he felt that if he didn't speak up, he might regret it in the future.
Upon hearing these words, Qing Nü's smiling face instantly froze.
Her once bright eyes seemed to have suddenly lost their luster, and she slowly lowered her head.
"You're going to be late, you should go."
Hearing Qing Nü's words, Chen Mobai scratched his head in annoyance, then waved to the girl in front of him and turned to leave the Alchemy room.
The shore of Wood God Island.
Zhuang Jialan and Bian Jingchun, carrying a large pile of local specialties, were chatting and Eight Trigrams with Song Yuexin on the water bridge when they saw Chen Mobai approaching. The three women immediately stopped talking and stared intently at him.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Mobai couldn't help but take another look. Could it be that Jiang Yuyuan's Dance Weapon Red Black Robe, didn't suit him? "Junior brother, I heard that the Dao Academy is already arranging for you to wield the Purple Lightning Sword. Is that true?"
Bian Jingchun, being of a higher generation, admired Chen Mobai, but she didn't speak with the same reverence as Zhuang Jialan and Song Yuexin. Instead, she directly asked about the rumors she had just heard.
"Nonsense!"
Chen Mobai shook his head and immediately denied the rumor.
Although he wanted one after seeing Pei Azurefrost's Fourth Tier Sword Artifact, it never materialized. He probably saw that he and Pei Azurefrost were evenly matched and that both their Thunder Method and swordsmanship had reached the Third Grade tier, so he paired them up.
After Chen Mobai stepped onto the water bridge, Song Yuexin immediately rowed the four of them toward Small Leaf Island.
"There's no smoke without fire. I think that since they've released this information, they probably want you to fight for it yourself."
After graduating, Bian Jingchun successfully passed the Civil Service Examination and has been honing her skills in government agencies ever since. She is quite sensitive to these kinds of things and said something that even Chen Mobai was somewhat moved by.
"You've made such a great contribution to the Dao Academy this time, and you're also Director Che's disciple. When you get back, tell him about the hardships you endured fighting the Fourth Grade Azurefrost Sword, and express how much you wish you had a Fourth Tier Sword Artifact. You don't need to be too explicit; Director Che will understand. He will definitely help you get one."
After hearing this, Chen Mobai was not blinded by the Fourth Tier Sword Artifact and expressed his concerns.
"That Purple Lightning Sword is Fourth Tier Sword Artifact from the Mountain Sea Academy. Why should they give it to an outsider like me?"
"The Sea Stabilizing Sword was forged by our Wuqi Dao Academy." Bian Jingchun shook her finger and began to explain why the Sword Tower of the Mountain Sea Academy could possess nearly half of the top flying swords of the Immortal Sect. "Most of the swords in the Sword Tower are stored by others, because in addition to being famous for its Sword Cultivator, the Mountain Sea Academy is also the most professional in the Immortal Sect in terms of sword forging, maintenance and repair."
"So, who owns the Purple Lightning Sword now?"
Chen Mobai was intrigued and began to press for more information.
"I've already asked my colleagues to find out that the ownership of the Azurefrost Sword belongs to the Natural Academy. However, the Purple Lightning Sword is a bit more complicated. This sword Qingshi Shangren of the Five Thunder Academy. But after he passed away, the sword was given to Qingjing Shangren according to his will. After Qingjing Shangren also passed away, due to a dispute between the Five Thunder Academy and the Natural Academy, the Immortal Sect sent both the Azure Frost Sword and the Purple Lightning Azure Frost to the Sword Tower of the Mountain Sea Academy."
The story of Purple Lightning Azure Frost is well-known throughout the Immortal Sect.
Chen Mobai had seen the beautiful story of Masters Qingshi and Qingjing, who were both teachers and friends, and who eventually overcame worldly prejudices to become Daoist partners, on television when he was a child.
However, there is a censorship mechanism when TV series are released. The Five Thunder Academy and the Natural Academy play a less than positive role in the TV series, so they were censored by the combined forces of the two academies when the series was released.
Therefore, Chen Mobai was unaware that the ownership of Purple Lightning Azure Frost was in this state.
Qingshi Shangren is from the Five Thunder Academy, and Qingjing Shangren is from the Natural Academy.
The Purple Lightning Sword was Qingshi Shangren's natal sword. It was forged with the help of the academy, so it should naturally belong to the Five Thunder Academy. However, Qingshi Shangren's will stated that the sword should be left to Qingjing Shangren.
When Qingjing Shangren was alive, the Five Thunder Academy dared not say much.
But after Qingjing Shangren passed away, the Five Thunder Academy immediately wanted to take the Purple Lightning Sword back from the Natural Academy, but the Natural Academy was not willing to do so.
However, the two academies were evenly matched, and the matter escalated to the point that the Law Enforcement Hall Master intervened and directly sent the pair of top-tier swords to the Sword Tower of the Mountain Sea Academy.
The Mountain Sea Academy who were watching the show were grinning from ear to ear, happily accepting the offer.
"The ownership of the Azurefrost Sword is clear; it belongs to the Natural Academy. However, the Mountain Sea Academy, under the orders of the Law Enforcement Hall, has painstakingly nurtured it for over a hundred years and also has the right to keep this sword."
"So Pei Azurefrost first joined the Mountain Sea Academy, and then the Goumang Dao Academy took care of the Natural Academy. In addition, she herself was also extremely talented, which enabled her to wield the Azurefrost Sword."
"If you want the Purple Lightning Sword, it will be a little troublesome. Not only will you need to deal with the Mountain and Sea Academy and the Natural Academy, but also the Five Thunder Academy, which has been keeping an eye on this sword."
After listening to what Bian Jingchun had found out in the past two days, Chen Mobai thought of the three women Wenren Xuewei, Yan Qiongzhi, and Pei Azurefrost, and a look of realization appeared on his face.
Isn't Yan Qiongzhi from the Natural Academy? So that's how they got together.
"Senior Sister Bian you analyze it like that, I feel like I'm getting further and further away from the Purple Lightning Sword."
Although Chen Mobai's reputation is soaring and he has already earned the title of the Number One Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Immortal Sect, he still doesn't have enough influence to get the Three Great Academies to approve him as the wielder of the Purple Lightning Sword.
Even if he were to immediately Core Formation, the Three Great Academies would probably not give him that much face.
Unless the Dao Academy is willing to step in!
"Teacher, I've risked everything to rebuild the glory of my Dance Weapon this time. I even took out a loan from my family's Talisman Factory to buy the sword aura condensed from evil energy, but that's now permanently lost..."
After receiving some guidance from Bian Jingchun, Chen Mobai hurriedly led everyone back to Chicheng Cave Heaven in their flying magical Magic Artifact.
Upon arriving at the Daoist Academy Dao Academy, he entrusted the welcoming ceremony to Hua Zijing, who was there to greet him. He then rushed to Che Yucheng's office without stopping and began to recount with a heavy heart how hard he had worked and how much he had sacrificed for the glory of the Dao Academy during the Offline Sparring and competition.
He was almost moved to tears by the Clear Eye Bamboo Spirit Dew to express how heartbroken he was by the loss of a sword aura! "Well, that was indeed a great loss for the Dao Academy. In order not to discourage all the students and to set an example for future learners, I think the Dao Academy should not only compensate you for your loss, but also reward you handsomely."
After Chen Mobai finished crying, Che Yucheng seemed to realize something and patted his forehead, saying something that made Chen Mobai overjoyed, but he still had to say something polite.
"Teacher, it is my duty to bring glory to the Dao Academy."
"Oh, you can't say that. Those who have made contributions should be rewarded. I'll bring it up at the teachers' meeting this week and see if I can apply for a Fire Yang Sha as compensation for you."
Ah, there's actually Fire Yang Sha in the Dao Academy? Chen Mobai really didn't know that, but he immediately realized it.
What is the Fire Yang Sha? He wants the Purple Lightning Sword! "Teacher, the reward doesn't need to be too heavy, just a token will do."
Chen Mobai said another sentence in a tactful tone.
"So, what kind of reward do you think would be appropriate?"
Che Yucheng appeared to be very democratic, and asked Chen Mobai for his opinion with a kind expression.
"I heard online that there is a Purple Lightning Sword in the Mountain Sea Academy, and everyone says it's a good match for me."
Che Yucheng saw that Chen Mobai actually had the audacity to say those words, he was speechless.
"That's Fourth Tier Sword Artifact."
"Teachers, didn't you also bestow upon Senior Sister Bian the Fourth Tier True Dragon Cauldron? I have not only completed the task she was supposed to complete excellently, but I have also exceeded expectations and brought the Dao Academy back to first place."
Chen Mobai said tactfully, but his implication was that since he had made such a great contribution, could the Dao Academy also provide him with a Fourth Tier Magic Tool?
"That was lent to her. She has to return it to Senior Sister Duanmu before she leaves the Dao Academy this time."
Che Yucheng said helplessly.
"Ah, I see."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai looked disappointed, feeling that his chances of wielding the Purple Lightning Sword were probably gone.
"However, since you have done a great job this time, I will try to make some arrangements, but I can't guarantee whether it will work out."
In the end, Che Yucheng said something that rekindled a glimmer of hope in Chen Mobai.
"Thank you, teacher."
The master and disciple then discussed some more details, and Chen Mobai did not hide anything, also mentioning that Wenren Xuewei had given him Great Camellia Flower to establish good karma.
"Keep it. Goumang and our Dance Weapon have mostly been through thick and thin together over thousands of years. In the two hundred years I've been in charge, our relationship has been quite good."
With Che Yucheng's words, Chen Mobai felt at ease.
After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't reveal the matter of Kong Feichen and the Sky Swallowing Snake. It wasn't that he didn't trust Che Yucheng, but rather that he felt it was better to keep this matter to himself.
"Enlightenment Tea should be consumed as soon as possible."
Che Yucheng, fearing that Chen Mobai might not know, gave him a reminder.
"Okay, teacher, I plan to rest tonight and then go to Building Nine tomorrow to book a room and have some drinks."
Another major reason why Chen Mobai rushed back so quickly was to drink the Enlightenment Tea.
"Well, you're an adult now, so I won't go into too much detail about how to use this opportunity. Foundation Establishment Cultivator who drink Enlightenment Tea can see their future Dao Path in this profound realm. Remember not to waste this opportunity."
The things that Foundation Establishment True Cultivator can see are limited, so many cultivation methods that they consider perfect and flawless are actually full of loopholes from the perspective of those at a higher level.
But in the realm of enlightenment, one can see further and more clearly.
Even within the entire Immortal Sect, this Enlightenment Tea is one of the most precious spiritual items.
"Teacher, since the Enlightenment Tea is so powerful, why not use it to improve some special talents, such as Meng Huang'er? Isn't she a genius who cultivates the Startling Spirit Melody? Wouldn't it be great if she could use it to Foundation Establishment and Core Formation?"
Before leaving, Chen Mobai thought of his good friend. It had been more than a year since he last saw her, and he missed her voice.
Che Yucheng: "Do you know how many cultivators the Immortal Sect has?"
Chen Mobai: "Three hundred million!"
Isn't this number something they advertise every day? Because cultivators live long, the population has been growing ever since the last World Opening War. Recently, even the most powerful Immortal Sect have started implementing family planning.
Che Yucheng: "Among the 300 million cultivators, there is no shortage of geniuses. The oldest Nascent Soul cultivators in the Immortal Sect are almost a thousand years old. In the past thousand years, they have cultivated hundreds of geniuses who have the potential to master the Startling Spirit Melody, but only a handful of them have been able to Core Formation. Jiang Yuyuan was able to successfully Foundation Establishment based on his talent, which means that he is worth continuing to cultivate. If Meng Huang'er needs the Enlightenment Tea to reach the Foundation Establishment, Core Formation it is definitely impossible for her to successfully form her core."
Although the words weren't spoken very clearly, Chen Mobai already understood what Che Yucheng meant.
The Immortal Sect is short of resources, but it has no shortage of talent.
Even those with Heaven Spirit Root can be discovered every now and then, let alone a mere Sound Dao genius.
If Meng Huang'er can successfully Foundation Establishment through her own talent and perseverance, then the Immortal Sect Soul cultivators of the Startling Spirit Melody, will naturally spare no expense in nurturing her to Core Formation or even Nascent Formation.
However, if you can't even get past the Foundation Establishment, the first hurdle in your cultivation journey, it's best to give up early to save resources.
"Of course, geniuses like you are quite rare. I'll see if I can get your story to the principal's ears. If he's willing to intervene, the Purple Lightning Sword will definitely be no problem."
Seeing Chen Mobai's somewhat stunned expression, Che Yucheng thought he had been a bit harsh and added a gentle remark.
"Teacher, you overestimate me. I was just a little more diligent and had some good luck."
Chen Mobai said a few words modestly, then took his leave.
