Taiyi Five Smoke Net

After returning from the Divine Tree Secret Realm, Chen Mobai dealt with Student Union affairs while also taking the final exams for his major and elective courses.

His good friend Ming Yihua also returned two days ago.

After the exam, Ming Yihua immediately called a gathering of people from the Spirit Transmutation Class for drinks.

"Old Ming, where did you go to refine magical Magic Artifact this time? I haven't heard you brag about it for a whole year."

Wang Xingyu had just successfully Foundation Establishment, arrived at the gathering and asked Ming Yihua with a curious look. He knew Ming Yihua's flamboyant and showy personality all too well.

"I can't say, I signed a confidentiality agreement."

Ming Yihua, however, looked gloomy, as if he didn't want to recall the experience of going out with his mentor.

Upon hearing the words "confidentiality agreement," everyone roughly understood what was going on and tacitly changed the subject.

"Brother, are you free lately? A few days ago I managed to snag a Clear Wind Sha on the Immortal Sect Network. I was thinking of refining it into the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk to enhance the power of this Magic Artifact."

After the party ended, Chen Mobai, Ming Yihua, Yun Yangbing continued their drinks in a small circle.

"Clear Wind Sha? Old Chen, you're lucky to have managed to snatch one of these. Is it Tier 1 or Second Grade?"

Upon hearing this, Ming Yihua's eyes lit up.

Clear Wind Sha one of the most common types of evil energy in the Immortal Sect. It is a kind of earth evil energy formed by the flow of spiritual energy through the forest and the convergence of wind energy and wood energy.

In places with abundant forest vegetation, there are usually Immortal Sect that set up Array Formation and artificially cultivate the Clear Wind Sha.

However, since it is still an elemental energy of the Earthly Fiends, although the price is controlled by the Immortal Sect, it is still in short supply and is sold out every time it is put on the market.

"My luck was so-so; I only managed to snag a Tier 1 item."

Chen Mobai obtained the Earthly Fiend Qi from Rolling Thunder Mountain. He could refine the Second Grade ones into the Five Phases Sword Sha, but he planned to refine the remaining two first-tier ones, the Clear Wind Sha and the Peach Blossom Sha, into Magic Artifact to increase its power.

Among these, Clear Wind Sha is widely circulated within the Immortal Sect, so it can be taken out openly and legitimately.

Peach Blossom Sha is a kind of earth evil miasma that only grows in the Immortal Sect Peach Blossom. Although there are artificial synthesis channels in the immortal sects, due to its narrow uses, basically no one actively cultivates it, and it has not been traded on the market for several years, so Chen Mobai did not take it out.

"That's simple, but I need to go home this year, so I might have to wait until next year when school starts."

Ming Yihua patted his chest, indicating that it was a piece of cake. He had already passed the Second Grade Artifact Refiner and Treasure Appraiser exams a few years ago. This year, he went out to train with the main force of the Artifact Refining Department department, and he was even more confident that he could pass the Third Tier Artifact Refiner exam.

However, since the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk is Second Tier Magic Tool, reforging and upgrading it is more troublesome than reforging it from scratch. Therefore, it requires the use of various equipment from the Dao Academy's Artifact Refining Department, Ming Yihua's family does not have.

"Thanks, bro."

Chen Mobai didn't say anything more, and offered a toast.

"There's no need for formalities between brothers. Just send me two more jars of good wine next year."

Ming Yihua is generous and warm-hearted, and has a good relationship with everyone in the Spirit Transmutation Class.

"Okay, I'll send you the best wine from my hometown next year."

Chen Mobai thought that next year, a new large jar of Second Grade Spirit Wine would be fermented and matured on Little South Mountain, and he could send some to Ming Yihua at that time.

"If I remember correctly, this Crimson Cloud Mist Silk is one of the decompositions of the most comprehensive Fourth Grade Magic Artifact in our Wuqi Dao Academy, the ' Taiyi Five Smoke Net.' Our Formation Department director mentioned in a public lecture that it uses the different forms of the Five Elements Spiritual Qi— Chaxia, gentle breeze, water mist, jade dew, and smoke flow—to evolve and unify into a single entity, transforming the weapon into an array that integrates offense and defense, making it infinitely powerful."

When Yun Yangbing saw the two talking about the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk, he remembered a lesson he had just attended and couldn't help but chime in.

"Given the current state of the Immortal Sect, it's practically impossible to cultivate the complete Taiyi Five Smoke Net. At most, they can only cultivate the Clear Wind Sha like Old Chen."

Ming Yihua was aware of this matter as well, since it was one of the iconic Magic Artifact of the Wuqi Dao Academy. However, as a genius in the Artifact Refining Department, he was even more aware of the difficulties involved.

The refining of Taiyi Five Smoke Net is not just a simple transformation of five Five Elements Spiritual Qi energy.

For example, Chen Mobai's Crimson Cloud Mist Silk is a Second Grade- tier item. If he refines a large amount of Second Grade Clear Wind Sha, it can be upgraded to a Second Grade item or even the peak.

However, if you want to upgrade to the Third Grade, you not only need to find the Third Grade spiritual material Water Mist Ice Crystal, but you also need to upgrade the previous Crimson Cloud Mist Silk and Clear Wind Sha to the Third Grade.

In other words, to complete the Taiyi Five Smoke Net, you need at least five materials of the Fourth Grade: Chaxia, Gentle Breeze, Water Mist, Jade Dew, and Smoke Flow.

Given the resource situation on Earth Origin Star, even a Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to collect everything.

However, the Wuqi Dao Academy has many talented people, and someone came up with the idea of breaking down the Taiyi Five Smoke Net and using the power of the Magic Artifact to evolve into Array Formation.

The five Five Elements Spiritual Qi are transformed into five array flags, simulating the power of the Taiyi Five Smoke Net. The power of this Array Formation depends on the grade of the array flags, and it can be achieved from the first to the Fourth Grade.

Chen Mobai had only heard of the Taiyi Five Smoke Net, but he did not know that it could be broken down into Array Formation.

He silently kept Yun Yangbing's words in his heart.

If we encounter these materials in the Sky River Realm in the future, we can collect them.

After the gathering of the Spirit Transmutation Class ended, Chen Mobai's Seventh Grade life at the Wuqi Dao Academy also came to an end.

"I won't be coming next year."

In the Student Union, Hua Zijing waved to everyone with an air of nonchalance.

"You've worked hard these past two years."

Chen Mobai looked at her and sincerely thanked her. If it weren't for her hard work and assistance, he certainly wouldn't have been able to take charge of the Student Union so easily.

"Goodbye."

After saying those two words, Hua Zijing seemed to dare not stay any longer and turned to leave.

"President, will we be able to see Senior Hua again in the future?"

Tears welled up in Zhuang Jialan's eyes. She was more emotional than Hua Zijing and couldn't control her emotions as well. Seeing her senior, who had been guiding her through various Student Union activities, graduate, she couldn't help but feel her eyes redden.

"Yes, as long as we live long enough, we will meet again someday."

Chen Mobai smiled slightly, calmed his subordinates down, and then returned to his work.

"Is there anything I can do?"

The person who asked this question was Zhongli Tianyu. He thought becoming the Student Union President was a very cool thing, so he was preparing to work hard to become a qualified Chief.

"Come with me."

As soon as Hua Zijing graduated, Chen Mobai felt much more pressure at work, so he planned to train Zhongli Tianyu as soon as possible, and then, like Zuoqiu Shi, step down and make way for a more capable person.

For the next two weeks, Chen Mobai led the Student Union members to travel between various departments to work with the teachers to prepare next year's teaching plan.

"I'll be working hard for you from now on."

After finishing everything, Chen Mobai waved goodbye to the Student Union members who remained at the Dao Academy.

In Vermilion Cloud City, his Talisman Factory still had some important documents waiting for him to sign upon his return.

"Mr. Chen, if you have no objections to the terms, please sign here."

Inside the Immortal Sect Bank in Vermilion Cloud City, Chen Mobai signed another loan agreement.

This time, he still needs to borrow five million Merit Points, which, together with the five million he previously spent on purchasing the Longevity Academy's elixirs, has brought him to a total debt of ten million Merit Points.

This loan was made without any collateral; it was solely in Chen Mobai's personal name.

If he hadn't been the Chief of the Wuqi Dao Academy, the first Foundation Establishment in the Immortal Sect, and hadn't been guaranteed by Qin Baipeng, the City Lord of Vermilion Cloud City, he probably wouldn't have been able to get the loan.

"Thank you for your guarantee, City Lord."

After leaving the Immortal Sect Bank, Chen Mobai thanked Qin Baipeng.

"This is just a policy that Vermilion Cloud City offers to Foundation Establishment Cultivator. When Wu Shangru settled here, he also received the same treatment, except that your loan amount was slightly higher."

Chen Mobai naturally understood the meaning behind Qin Baipeng's words. After thanking him again, he wanted to invite the City Lord to dinner, but Qin Baipeng shook his head and declined.

"You're not the only Foundation Establishment Cultivator applying for a loan at the end of the year; I also have several factories to visit."

In Vermilion Cloud City, not every Foundation Establishment Cultivator can succeed in business; quite a few lose money.

However, this loss could be a genuine loss, or it could be that the factory lost money, but the Foundation Establishment Cultivator who was the boss had a bulging wallet.

Therefore, Qin Baipeng needs to examine these potentially problematic factories.

The reason why Qin Baipeng supported Chen Mobai's application for a five million personal loan was because of his big reputation.

The fact that Chief of the Wuqi Dao Academy, and that he had overwhelmed all the Immortal Sect Foundation Establishment in the Goumang Dao Academy sparring match, had spread, leading many to believe that he had the Potential for Spirit Transmutation.

Furthermore, this was the first time Chen Mobai had requested the support of the Vermilion Cloud City government since settling down, which was something they had promised before. With all these conditions combined, Qin Baipeng was willing to step in and guarantee a loan of five million Merit Points for him.

You should know that other Foundation Establishment Cultivator only have a maximum of two million Merit Points points.

Chen Mobai kept Qin Baipeng's kindness in his heart.

With the loan in hand, plus the remaining 800,000 in Merit Points from the Talisman factory this year, the total start-up capital is 5.8 million.

Preparations for the Puppet Factory can begin.

He first called Chai Lun, the Performance Puppet at the Wuqi Dao Academy. After graduation, Chai Lun opened a Puppet Factory in his hometown and was said to have made a lot of Merit Points in the figure industry.

However, Chen Mobai commissioned him to make a proper Puppetry.

As one of the geniuses who graduated from the Puppetry Department, Chai Lun also knew about the Puppet Factory. After receiving the call, he expressed great interest and said he would come over in person to discuss the deal.

Next, Chen Mobai began purchasing the core components of the Puppet Factory.

"Hey, hey, hey, hello Senior Lou, this is Chen Mobai..."

At the Butian Dao Academy, Lou Fengcheng, whose bandages had just been removed and whose skin had recovered from the burns, put down the phone with a speechless expression.

How can the Chief of the Wuqi Dao Academy be so shameless?

You beat yourself up like this and you still have the nerve to call me for help!

Lou Fengcheng wanted to hang up the phone on the spot, but after thinking about it, he decided it was better not to make enemies with this ruthless character. He could just buy him a Heavenly Calculation Bead so that even if he found out about the tricks he used in the sparring match in the future, he could resolve the situation.

"Hello Professor Shi, I have a 'friend' who wants to buy a Second Grade Heavenly Calculation Bead. Does your department still have any in stock?"

A day later, Chen Mobai saw the payment and order link Lou Fengcheng to the Sky Mending Dao Academy flagship store and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"What's wrong? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Yan Bingxuan, who was eating fish, noticed Chen Mobai's expression and asked him curiously.

"I bought a Heavenly Calculation Bead."

"Is that the Heavenly Calculation Bead from the Sky Mending Dao Academy? Our department's Chief has always wanted to buy one, but he can't get one."

The person who said this was Shi Jingjing. Today was supposed to be Chen Mobai's high school reunion, but only enough people were gathered for one table. Most of them hadn't returned to Vermilion Cloud City, and some who were there didn't come.

The people who came included Yan Bingxuan, Cao Yaling, Shi Jingjing, Lu Hongsheng, Pu Jiangxue, Yu Shu, Xu Yuan, and Shi Yuanqing.

Song Zheng and Mo Simin didn't come back; otherwise, given their relationship with Chen Mobai, they would definitely have come too.

"I was able to buy it through connections. I met a friend at the Goumang Dao Academy goes, having more friends means having more paths to take. This helped me out, didn't it?"

If the people of the Sky Mending Dao Academy heard Chen Mobai's words, they certainly wouldn't believe them.

During the sparring match on the Lake Island, Lou Fengcheng was the worst off among all of Chen Mobai's opponents. He was defeated head-on by the sword demon, and the fire poison entered his body. He had to stay in bed for more than a month to recover.

"Cao, the main reason for today is to congratulate you on your successful Foundation Establishment."

Chen Mobai raised his drink and congratulated Cao Yaling. Among the group of students from their Fifth High School, time had finally revealed who was truly the best.

After Chen Mobai, the second person to Foundation Establishment was the most talented.

"It's just good luck. Yuan Qing has also comprehended the Critical Point Method, so he should be able to Foundation Establishment next year."

Cao Yaling smiled and spoke. She had always been a quiet person. When she was with Shi Jingjing, she could go a whole day without saying a word, because the latter would say everything for her.

"Sigh, I see you all talking about Foundation Establishment, but I'm the only one who's already thinking about military service."

Lu Hongsheng, whose cultivation level was the lowest and who was still stuck at the Qi Cultivation Level 6 without comprehending Spiritual Sense, looked resentful. He had three more years, and it was certain that he would not be able to Foundation Establishment. As a male cultivator, he would have to serve ten years of military service.

"Me too, but I'm considering whether to get married after graduation."

Chen Mobai's beautiful classmate Yu Shu also sighed and spoke up. She was at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer and wanted to advance further in her cultivation, but military service was also very difficult for women, and she was afraid.

When the topic of military service came up, the others also started to share what they had heard.

Apart from Shi Yuanqing, who was confident that he could Foundation Establishment before graduation, everyone else was filled with anxiety and had all considered the issue of military service.

Chen Mobai noticed that Yan Bingxuan was eating the grilled fish he had brought without saying a word, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Has your Ice Spirit Root not been fully upgraded yet?"

After the event ended, Chen Mobai and Yan Bingxuan walked back together, and he asked the question that had been bothering him.

Among her classmates, Yan Bingxuan had the highest Spirit Root Value.

"Spiritual Root can always be improved before they reach 100."

Yan Bingxuan said calmly as she walked.

"You know that's not what I wanted to ask. Are you confident you can reach the Foundation Establishment?"

Upon hearing Chen Mobai's direct question, Yan Bingxuan stopped in her tracks. She looked up, their eyes met, and then she shook her head.

"I'm not confident. Maybe I'm not capable enough. I haven't grasped the Critical Point Method yet."
