Dragon Horse Aspect, Eight Trigrams Immortal Thunder

"Second Grade spirit tea must be a good thing."

After taking a sip, Meng Huang'er's eyes lit up, and she took another sip.

Although she is Big Star, this kind of thing cannot be bought with money in the Immortal Sect; only Foundation Establishment Cultivator are qualified to purchase it.

"If you like it, senior, I have quite a few more here. I'll pack a box for you later."

Chen Mobai took a sip himself and felt it was just so-so.

After the ambush at White Moon Market, the Bai family sent Chen Mobai a lot of first and Second Grade Tea Tree as an apology.

Zhuo Ming planted these Tea Tree on the mountainside of Little South Mountain. When they ripened in the autumn, a batch was harvested. After Chen Mobai tasted them, he kept some of the Second Grade and gave the rest to his three apprentices.

What they are drinking now is this Second-grade Spirit Tea.

There was also the Snow Needle Immortal Bud that Chen Mobai Grafting the Great Camellia Root. Unfortunately, due to the mediocre quality of the Spirit Plant, and perhaps because the Longevity Wood and the Great Camellia Root were not well-matched, the tea branch, which was originally Third Grade Tea Branch, was downgraded to a first-tier tea branch after it survived.

Chen Mobai could only feel regret, but he still planted the Grafting tea seedling on the top of Little South Mountain. He would irrigate it with the life force of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder from time to time, hoping that it might be able to advance to the Third Grade rank after a long time! "Thank you."

Meng Huang'er lowered her head and said softly. If Chen Mobai hadn't been so sharp-eared and sharp-eyed, he almost wouldn't have heard her.

An awkward silence then fell between the two.

It's been so long since we've kept in touch; we've really grown distant.

"Ahem, I heard that you want to open the Artifact Nurturing Sphere. Did you bring the items with you? I cultivate the Spiritual Eye Art, so I'm pretty good at appraising eyes."

"There are five Artifact Nurturing Sphere, but they are all kept at my house."

Meng Huang'er didn't have a storage bag, and it wouldn't be appropriate for a girl like her to carry a sack.

"Oh, senior, have you already bought it? What are your requirements for the Magic Artifact you want to get? Let me know."

Since Chen Mobai came along with his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, anyone from the Wuqi Dao Academy who wants to open Artifact Nurturing Sphere will consult him to confirm the true nature of the Magic Artifact inside before proceeding with Merit Points.

However, as Big Star in the Immortal Sect, Meng Huang'er certainly has no shortage of Merit Points and doesn't need to be as meticulous as others.

"Ideally, it should be a musical Magic Artifact, such as the guqin, guzheng, or pipa, I am proficient in all of them. The only requirement is that the Magic Artifact must be a Second Grade low-grade instrument."

After Meng Huang'er finished speaking, Chen Mobai was slightly stunned.

Over 95% of the Magic Artifact in the Myriad Treasures Cave are Second Grade, and these Second Grade -grade artifacts are the lowest grade. When many students from the Wuqi Dao Academy ask Chen Mobai to help them appraise their artifacts, they all request that they at least not be Second Grade low-grade artifacts.

Second Grade mid-grade is barely acceptable, but Second Grade high-grade and top-grade are a big surprise.

As for the Third Grade, Chen Mobai has never encountered one in all these years of appraisal.

Because most Third Grade Magic Tool require strong spiritual energy to maintain their grade, they are basically under Duanmu Longrong's control. The Dao Academy will only send one out when encountering a Chief Level genius like Chen Mobai or Zuoqiu Shi.

This was the first time Chen Mobai had ever encountered someone like Meng Huang'er who specifically requested a Second Grade low-grade item.

"No problem, why don't you go back first, senior? I have some things to do here. I'll come visit you again when I get home tonight."

As a qualified appraiser, Chen Mobai had no objections to the client's requirements.

However, compared to this matter, he was more concerned about Zhongli Tianyu, his successor. If this guy ran away, wouldn't he have to work hard and exhaust himself for the next two years at the Dao Academy?

After hearing this, Meng Huang'er took a deep breath, but still nodded with a smile and gently put down her teacup.

"Then I'll wait for you at home tonight."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai got up to see the guest out.

This made Meng Huang'er, who originally wanted to exchange a few more pleasantries, clench her little fists under the table, but considering her own situation, she still smiled elegantly.

After personally escorting Meng Huang'er downstairs, Chen Mobai called Zhuang Jialan over and asked her to see her off on his behalf.

"President, since you're looking for Zhongli Tianyu anyway, and Senior Sister Meng hasn't reached Foundation Establishment yet and needs Flight Talisman to get out, why don't you take her out of the Myriad Treasures Cave while you're at it?"

After Zhuang Jialan arrived and learned about the situation, she suddenly leaned close to Chen Mobai and whispered something that surprised him greatly.

[What? You haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment yet? How did you get into the Myriad Treasures Cave?]

Chen Mobai still had some emotional intelligence, and he didn't say what he was thinking directly. However, at this moment, he thought about why Meng Huang'er had specifically requested a Second Grade low-grade Magic Artifact, which might be related to this.

"Senior Meng, I suddenly remembered that I also need to go out. How about I walk you a little further?"

After hearing this, Meng Huang'er nodded gently.

Chen Mobai rode the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk, carrying her away from the Myriad Treasures Cave.

The two remained silent throughout the journey, seemingly unsure of what to say.

"Thanks."

After landing gently on the ground at the Back Mountain entrance of Myriad Treasures Cave, Meng Huang'er smiled and waved to Chen Mobai.

"See you tonight."

After saying this, Chen Mobai watched Meng Huang'er's back as she left, and then returned to the Myriad Treasures Cave.

However, instead of going to find Zhongli Tianyu, he returned to the Student Union and asked Zhuang Jialan about Meng Huang'er's situation.

"It was the principal who personally approved Senior Sister Meng Huang'er to enter the Myriad Treasures Cave. I don't know the specifics, but Senior Brother Jiang Yuyuan might know."

Zhuang Jialan shared what she knew.

Chen Mobai thought for a moment and then called Che Yucheng to ask.

"Well, you know that the headmaster is one of the older ones among the Nascent Formation. He still cares about the Divine Startling Spirit Melody. After learning about Meng Huang'er's situation, he wanted to give her another chance to Foundation Establishment."

As the person in charge of the actual operation of the Wuqi Dao Academy school, Che Yucheng was indeed aware of this matter.

"Does the Dao Academy still have methods to increase the probability of Foundation Establishment?"

Chen Mobai asked with some curiosity, "Is there something similar to the Critical Point Method?"

"The principal has improved the Spirit Tool Dual Cultivation Technique, which allows Qi Cultivation Cultivator to absorb the essence of Second Grade low-level Magic Artifact and use it for their own purposes, thus increasing their chances of Foundation Establishment."

Che Yucheng casually explained the reason, Chen Mobai couldn't help but sigh, "The Nascent Soul Master is indeed extraordinary, he can even improve this method."

"Doesn't that mean the success rate of Foundation Establishment in the Dao Academy will be higher in the future?"

Chen Mobai thought of his relatives and friends who had not yet successfully Foundation Establishment and were unable to comprehend the Critical Point Method. If they had this method, along with the Foundation Establishment Trio, they would have a glimmer of hope.

"It's not that easy. It requires a magic Magic Artifact that is of the same origin as the cultivator's own cultivation method, and it only increases the probability by 10%. For most people with mediocre talent, it cannot play a decisive role at all."

Che Yucheng, however, was not very optimistic about this method.

There are many miraculous pills and elixirs in the Immortal Sect that can increase the probability of Foundation Establishment by 10%, but only the Critical Point Method can guarantee a 100% success rate in Foundation Establishment.

Even if you fill in all the conditions with Foundation Establishment Treasure, you can only get Infinity close to 100%.

In other words, Meng Huang'er has not comprehended the Critical Point Method, and there is still a possibility of failure in her next Foundation Establishment.

After finishing his phone call with Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai had a general understanding of his neighbor's situation.

After all, we're friends. I'll help her with the Foundation Establishment Treasure tonight and then bring the Formless Puppet over from Little South Mountain for a full-body scan and a complete deduction.

Having made up his mind, Chen Mobai hurriedly left the Student Union.

He called Zhongli Tianyu, but the latter seemed a little guilty and didn't answer.

Chen Mobai frowned and called Bian Jingchun. The latter answered, currently cultivating somewhere in the Myriad Treasures Cave.

"Senior Sister Bian, it's been a long time."

When Chen Mobai arrived at the place, he saw a White Dragon phantom fly out, which transformed into a tall lady who gave him a slight bow.

"You're here to see Xiao Zhongli, right? He's currently cultivating with the help of the True Dragon Cauldron and can't get away for the time being. He didn't mean to ignore your call."

Bian Jingchun began to explain to Zhongli Tianyu, and Chen Mobai was slightly surprised upon hearing it.

"The True Dragon Cauldron is also useful to him?"

Because Bian Jingchun cultivates the Taiyin Dragon Transformation Scripture, the True Dragon Cauldron is an unparalleled treasure to her. Even if she has to suspend her official duties in the Immortal Sect, she still wants to stay in the Myriad Treasures Cave and use this Fourth Tier Magic Tool to cultivate.

But Zhongli Tianyu clearly cultivates Thunder Method! It has nothing to do with the Dragon Transformation Scripture!

"You'll see when you come with me."

Bian Jingchun turned around and transformed into a White Dragon phantom again, flying towards a cave entrance. Chen Mobai immediately followed, riding the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk.

About ten minutes later, the two arrived at a huge cave with an underground lake.

Zhongli Tianyu sat upright in the center of the lake, with the Zhongli Eight Trigrams Mirror beneath him and the inverted True Dragon Cauldron above his head. The two powerful Magic Artifact overflowed with various colored lights, flowing into the human body in the middle from above and below.

Chen Mobai immediately opened his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye, only to find that the two powerful Magic Artifact were emitting dazzling spiritual light. If he hadn't sensed the danger and closed his Spiritual Eye in time, he would probably have suffered a backlash.

At that moment, Zhongli Tianyu suddenly began to slowly become ethereal under the spiritual light of the two Magic Artifact, as if he had transformed into fireworks and ascended into a phantom of a divine beast that was neither a dragon nor a horse.

This is... Dragon Horse!?

The thought had barely crossed Chen Mobai's mind when a thunderous dragon roar resounded.

He sensed a terrifying surge of lightning power erupting between the two Magic Artifact; this was Zhongli Tianyu's current power.

Chen Mobai, who possessed the Third-tier Perfection Yi Wood Divine Thunder power, naturally sensed the grade of this thunder power immediately.

It's also at the Third Grade!

This kid's cheating, isn't he?!

Having clearly understood how difficult it was to master the Third Tier Thunder Method, and that even he himself had failed to do so, Chen Mobai stared wide-eyed in shock at Zhongli Tianyu, who had transformed into Dragon Horse and was clad in lightning robes.

"Hahaha, it seems even the heavens want me to wash away the defeat I suffered against you. I've just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer today, so I'll use you to test my newly mastered Eight Trigrams Immortal Thunder..."

Zhongli Tianyu had transformed into Dragon Horse, burst into laughter upon seeing Chen Mobai.

Seemingly due to his improved cultivation and mastery of the Third Tier Thunder Method, his confidence has soared, and he's even daring to spout nonsense.

However, he does indeed have the qualifications to do so.

He is in the eighth year of the Dao Academy, at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer, and has also mastered the Third Tier Thunder Method.

Even if we were to hold the Offline Sparring Exchange Meeting Goumang Dao Academy last year, he would probably only lose to a handful of people such as Chen Mobai, Pei Azurefrost, Xiahou Weihuan, and Wenren Xuewei.

Just then, Zhongli Tianyu's Dragon Horse, clad in the Eight Trigrams Immortal Thunder Robe, stepped out of the range of the two Magic Artifact, raised one hoof, and condensed a Zhen Trigram image.

A deep blue-purple lightning bolt condensed, transforming into a massive Thunder Ball three meters in diameter. Carrying terrifying explosive energy that shook the cave and caused the entire underground lake to boil, it hurtled towards Chen Mobai.

Chen Mobai remained standing still.

"Oh, after witnessing my Dragon Horse Aspect, you realize you're no match and are going to admit defeat?"

Zhongli Tianyu was stunned when he saw this scene. At this moment, he had already driven the huge blue-purple Thunder Ball to Chen Mobai on one hoof.

Just as he was about to change direction and let Chen Mobai go.

Suddenly everything went black! Then he saw one after another semi-transparent giant fingers emerge from the void behind Chen Mobai, as if a Skeletal Giant had burst out from under Chen Mobai's feet, first extending the Sky-Covering Giant Hand that enveloped the entire cave.

It was because this giant hand covered the entire body of the Dragon Horse that Zhongli Tianyu had transformed into that his vision went completely black.

Although Zhongli Tianyu immediately used his Spiritual Sense Projection to see, he immediately felt as if his Spiritual Sense had fallen into the torture of being strangled by ten thousand swords. Waves of intense pain accompanied by the Five Elements Colorful Radiance cut into his Lightning Orb.

With a deafening roar, Chen Mobai, wielding the massive sword arm of the Myriad Laws Body, unleashed the Five Elements Sword Sha Formation, forcefully slamming the Dragon Horse that Zhongli Tianyu had transformed into, along with the Thunder Ball propelled by its hooves, onto the ground.

The tremors forced Bian Jingchun, who was watching from the sidelines, to transform into White Dragon and fly away to avoid them.

The ground felt like it had been hit by an earthquake; it was impossible to stand up.

"Junior Chen, please have mercy. Xiao Zhongli is a bit of a goofball, but he's Bu Huai person at heart..."

While flying through the air above the cave, dodging the falling rocks, Bian Jingchun tried to smooth things over.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai also took the opportunity to withdraw the Myriad Sword Dharma Body that had been holding Zhongli Tianyu immobile.

Seeing Zhongli Tianyu's achievements only made him more unwilling to let the guy go.

This guy can now truly be said to be the strongest student among the four major academies, apart from himself. Even the three of them, Taishi Shuling and Daoist Master Zongzi, would not be his match.

Only a genius like him is worthy of being Chen Mobai's successor.

Chen Mobai mentally organized his thoughts, trying to figure out how to persuade Zhongli Tianyu to willingly take over his position as Chief.

"Sigh, he's incredibly talented, but without proper guidance, he might go astray in the future. I appointed him as Student Union President to cultivate his sense of collective responsibility and honor, but who knew he'd lack perseverance and couldn't even last six months..."
