Ideas

Since he had to wait for Luo Yixuan for a day, Chen Mobai took advantage of this time to use the sect's Teleportation Array to go to White Moon Market.

He came to the Bai family to buy Snow Needle Immortal Bud.

After consuming this spiritual tea, not only can one enhance their Spiritual Sense, but over time, it can also increase their comprehension.

After drinking two jin of the liquor, Chen Mobai did feel a bit better. His mind was much more agile than before, and he could think of all sorts of things that he would never have thought of before, so he didn't hesitate to Spirit Stone.

As Third Grade spiritual tea, Snow Needle Immortal Bud is expensive, costing 500 Spirit Stone per tael.

Moreover, not just anyone is eligible to buy it.

Last time, Yuan Hongyuan used three Immortal Peach Fruit to exchange for two catties, but all of them went to Chen Mobai.

Chen Mobai is definitely qualified.

Bai Dingxian personally received him, and upon hearing that he wanted to buy Snow Needle Immortal Bud, he could only reluctantly take out a pound.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that this is all the stock I have left."

Chen Mobai wanted to buy more, but Bai Dingxian explained with a wry smile that his family had a total of three Thousand-Year Tea Tree, which could produce about three catties of Snow Needle Immortal Bud every year.

Of this, two jin (approximately 1 kg) were to be offered as tribute to the two patriarchs of the Divine Wood Sect, and the remainder was the Bai family's stock.

The remaining items will be exchanged with the Bai family Starry Skies Great Merchant Association and other organizations for spiritual treasures that are not available in the Eastern Wasteland, or even taken to the Eastern Yi Region to exchange for Foundation Establishment.

The Bai family's stock over the years actually amounted to only three or four catties.

This pound now is Bai Dingxian's own personal stash.

After hearing this, Chen Mobai's expression suddenly became clear.

He paid 8,000 Spirit Stone for this pound of Snow Needle Immortal Bud.

He originally wanted to exchange for High-grade Spirit Stone, but Bai Dingxian said with a wry smile that there were only two left in the Bai family account, which needed to be kept in reserve to activate the family and market Array Formation, so he really couldn't exchange them for him.

Chen Mobai also expressed his understanding.

After leaving the Bai family, he didn't waste any time and went straight back to the Divine Wood Sect.

The next day, after receiving the leather armor from the shy Luo Yixuan, Chen Mobai announced his seclusion again.

"Hey bro, what do you think of this upgrade plan?"

Inside the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory, Chen Mobai handed over the upgraded Blueprints for the Five Transformations Umbrella he designed to Luan Jingsheng for inspection.

Luan Jingsheng, the first maker of this Talisman Artifact, interned at the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory last year. Thanks to his excellent Talisman skills and his status as First-Grade Talisman Master, he easily became a key technical member of the company.

He even broadened his horizons and solidified his foundation through practical training in Talisman Artifact at the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory, and passed the First-Grade Artifact Refiner assessment at the end of the year.

Chen Mobai felt that Luan Jingsheng was a talent worth cultivating. If he could pass the Foundation Establishment stage, he even thought about giving him some shares in the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory and letting him take charge of the quality control of Second Grade Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink in the future.

However, when Chen Mobai used Luan Jingsheng's personal panel to import the Foundation Establishment Treasure for calculation, he found that the probability of him Foundation Establishment was not high.

But since the two were friends, whenever Chen Mobai returned, he would call him over to teach him how to Talisman Making or upgrade and refine the Five Transformations Umbrella.

"My level of understanding is too low to see any problems."

Although Luan Jingsheng was First-Grade Talisman Master and Artifact Refiner, he was still very humble in front of Chen Mobai, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"I'm not good at Artifact Refining, so I'll need your help."

Chen Mobai had studied Treasure Appraisal at the Dao Academy, and the Talisman Department also had content related to Talisman Artifact, so he was confident that he could refine the Five Transformations Umbrella himself this time.

After all, this Five Transformations Umbrella is considered Talisman Artifact.

The so-called Talisman Artifact is a magical Magic Artifact that carries Talisman. Although it is classified as a type of Magic Artifact, its actual power depends entirely on the Talisman drawn and attached to it. It is simple to operate and easy to learn, and is loved by many Qi Cultivation Cultivator.

Above the Talisman Artifact, there is also a powerful Talisman called "Talisman Treasure".

Talisman Artifact is Magic Artifact that carries the power of Talisman, while Talisman Treasure is a magical artifact that contains the essence of a Talisman Magic Artifact. Once activated, it will unleash all the power of the Magic Artifact in an instant, with immense and magnificent power.

In the Eastern Wasteland, only the Lifebound Artifact of Golden Core True Person can be refined into Talisman Treasure.

The Immortal Sect have a special method: any Magic Artifact of the Second Grade or higher can be refined into Talisman Treasure.

However, each Talisman Treasure will permanently result in the loss of a Magic Artifact, and such wasteful behavior is naturally not allowed by the thrifty immortal Immortal Sect.

However, if it is a Magic Artifact, it will fall in rank if it is not nourished by spiritual energy for a long time after its owner passes away.

Under such circumstances, the Immortal Sect would allow the Talisman Making treasures.

For example, in the Myriad Treasures Cave of the Wuqi Dao Academy, even with the nourishment of the Artifact Nurturing Sphere and the powerful Fire Vein, every few decades a large number of Magic Artifact will lose their luster due to the lack of selection.

After all, the Wuqi Dao Academy only recruits a limited number of people each year. Even if everyone can Foundation Establishment and enter the Myriad Treasures Cave, they can only take away a few hundred Magic Artifact every ten years.

The Myriad Treasures Cave contains magical Magic Artifact belonging to almost all graduates of the Wuqi Dao Academy over thousands of years, with tens of thousands of Second Grade artifacts alone.

In fact, the Wuqi Dao Academy has already done its best to send out Magic Artifact.

Everyone who reaches the Foundation Establishment receives a gift, and Chief Level geniuses like Chen Mobai and Zuoqiu Shi even receive Third Grade.

Even the Fourth Grade True Dragon Cauldron was lent to Bian Jingchun very casually.

After all, even with the resources of the Wuqi Dao Academy, nurturing so many Magic Artifact would be a challenge.

Every so often, Duanmu Longrong would lead the students of the Talisman Department to refine those Magic Artifact whose spiritual power had weakened to the extreme and were about to drop in rank into Talisman Treasure.

Even so, many Magic Artifact still fade into obscurity in neglected corners of the Myriad Treasures Cave, ultimately turning into scrap metal.

As a genius in the Talisman Department, Chen Mobai had also heard about this matter.

However, in recent years, because of his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye, he can accurately see through the true nature of the Artifact Nurturing Sphere, which has led to a surge in enthusiasm among the students of the Dao Academy for using Artifact Piece.

Therefore, due to the significant consumption of the Artifact Nurturing Sphere, Duanmu Longrong decided to postpone the time for Talisman Making treasures, which should have been done in previous years, by two years.

The Five Transformations Umbrella was, after all, only a first-tier Talisman Artifact. With the combined efforts of Chen Mobai and Luan Jingsheng, they overcame the initial difficulties and, after half a month, refined the Peach Blossom Sha into it.

On the umbrella surface, which was already decorated with many spiritual patterns, a new picture of Peach Blossom falling was added.

As the umbrella unfolded and spiritual energy was infused into it, wisps of pink miasma emerged.

The miasma spread, causing cultivators to Spiritual Sense dizzy and restless. If they stay in it for a long time, it can even lead to a decline in blood and energy and a serious loss of vitality.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Chen Mobai was not a proper Artifact Refiner after all, so Luan Jingsheng handled most of the details.

"It's also a rare opportunity to put your knowledge into practice, so I should be the one thanking you."

After upgrading the Five Transformations Umbrella once again, Luan Jingsheng looked at his own creation with a touch of emotion, feeling somewhat reluctant to part with it.

"By the way, the quality of the Jade Talisman Paper in the company last year was poor, and half of it was returned. Do you have any good suggestions?"

After finishing his business, Chen Mobai inquired about the miscellaneous matters of Luan Jingsheng's Flying Talisman Factory.

"After all, it is Second Grade Talisman Paper. Although Director Pan is skilled, Boss Wu used to personally control the quality. Now that he is suddenly put in charge, he will definitely need an adaptation process."

Chen Mobai also had some impression of Pan Kaiqiang, the workshop director of the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory; he was a bald, hardworking man.

But this is just about doing the work; we still need to recruit someone who can make talisman Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink.

He originally intended to train Luan Jingsheng to become Second-tier Talisman Master, but unfortunately, he will graduate next year. If he fails to Foundation Establishment, he will have to serve in the military according to the laws of the Immortal Sect.

Chen Mobai had no intention of training someone and then waiting ten years to use them.

"Do you know anyone you can introduce to the company? For example, Second-tier Talisman Master from your academy?"

Chen Mobai then asked about Luan Jingsheng, who knew a few of them, but they were already listed as Chief consultants in many Talisman factories, or they had started their own businesses to earn Merit Points for purchasing the Foundation Establishment Trio.

As for the Foundation Establishment Cultivator Talisman Master in the Vermillion Cinnabar Academy, that's even more impossible; they've all opened their own factories like Chen Mobai.

After seeing Luan Jingsheng off, Chen Mobai thought of the Wood Spirit Talisman Shop where he had dealt with him before. The owner could refine Second Grade Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman, which meant he was also a Second Grade Talisman Master. He wondered if the owner would be willing to give up his online shop business and work here.

Chen Mobai acted on his idea immediately, asking a question, but was immediately rejected by the shopkeeper.

After all, they are business owners, so it's understandable that they don't like working for others.

Chen Mobai felt regretful, but he also understood.

He then took out Luo Yixuan's leather armor from the studio.

This young apprentice cultivates the Black Water Technique, so he decided to transform the Water Element Shield into spirit patterns and draw them on it.

First, he modeled the image on the computer. Then, he applied the spiritual patterns, which were transformed into Talisman, onto the leather armor model. After confirming that the image could be drawn completely, Chen Mobai simulated it twice in his mind before taking out his set of Heavenly Script Talisman Brush Set, grinding ink, and putting pen to paper.

This is much simpler than upgrading the Five Transformations Umbrella.

The sealing of the Black Water was a little troublesome, but it was still perfectly formed under Chen Mobai's level as Second-tier Talisman Master.

Admiring the shimmering, water-ripple-like spirit patterns on the leather armor, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction.

This Water Element Shield shield is already at the top level of the first tier; it can even withstand ordinary Second Grade spells for a single breath.

With Chen Mobai's skill level, it's not impossible for him to directly upgrade to the Second Grade tier, since the raw material for the leather armor is Second Tier Beast Hide, which can be used as Second Grade Talisman Paper.

However, that would mean that each time Luo Yixuan activated it, she would have to expend nearly 50% of her spiritual power, which would be counterproductive.

By keeping the Water Element Shield at the first level, Luo Yixuan could control it at will after practicing a few more times, and the loss of spiritual energy was also minimal.

For Qi Cultivation Cultivator, having more Second Grade trump cards isn't necessarily better; one or two are enough.

Even Chen Mobai only possessed one Third Tier Magic Tool.

After upgrading the Magic Artifact of both disciples, it was time for the New Year.

During the heartwarming New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Mobai gave his cousin Wang Xinying the Five Gold Essence Stone he had bought at the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association's Sales Meeting.

It was a belated gift for her admission to the Supreme Origin Academy.

"Thank you, brother, you're so kind to me!"

The beautiful young woman with fair skin took the Five Gold Essence Stone from Chen Mobai's hand and played with them with them with great affection. After she infused them with spiritual power, the embryonic Magic Artifact began to Wanhua according to her Spiritual Sense.

Before long, she chuckled and sculpted the Five Gold Essence Stone into miniature figures of her family members, creating a family portrait.

"How is Supreme Origin Academy? Have you grasped the Critical Point Method?"

After all, she was his younger sister, and Chen Mobai cared about her quite a bit.

"It's alright, but brother, do you know how famous you are in our academy? I don't even dare let them know I'm your sister."

Chen Mobai smiled slightly upon hearing this, as he was quite aware of his reputation within the Daoist Academy.

He is undoubtedly the number one university student of this era.

Within the Lesser Red Heaven, he suppressed many geniuses of the Supreme Origin Academy.

This is an invincible reputation earned through sheer hard work.

After the New Year, Chen Mobai left Vermilion Cloud City.

Since many old classmates didn't come back this year, especially Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai didn't waste any time here after dealing with the matters of the two factories.

He was mainly worried about Meng Huang'er was in the hospital bed.

Before leaving, however, he asked his mother to post a job advertisement on the Vermilion Cloud City talent website to see if she could find a Second-tier Talisman Master to control the quality of the Second Grade Talisman Paper at the Soaring Heavens Talisman Factory.

Anyway, if he's free during the interview, he can come in person; if not, we can do a video interview.

After returning to Chicheng Cave Heaven, Chen Mobai went to the hospital to visit Meng Huang'er.

Her complexion has improved a lot, and her face has mostly returned to normal. The doctor said she could be discharged in about a week.

The rest is up to me to rest and recuperate at home to recover my energy.

"You've arrived?"

Meng Huang'er, who was sitting on the hospital bed reading a book, saw Chen Mobai come in and gave him a bright smile.

"Hmm, how are you feeling?"

"I feel better, but the doctor needs me to be observed for a few more days."

The two chatted for a while. Recently, Chen Mobai noticed that Meng Huang'er was holding the original copy of the Jade Lock Golden Gate Art that he had given her, and couldn't help but ask her if she had comprehended it.

Unfortunately, Meng Huang'er shook her head with a gloomy expression.

Has that Lone Ranger replied?

Chen Mobai asked about this matter again; the appointment he had made with Tian Wenguang would take another week.

"I received a reply, but he said his method involved personal privacy and he couldn't disclose it to me."

After hearing Meng Huang'er's words, Chen Mobai nodded in understanding. Tian Wenguang's method of cultivating the Jade Lock Golden Gate Art was indeed not to be widely publicized.

Therefore, he lacked confidence in asking about this during the consultation, and estimated that the latter would likely turn hostile on the spot after hearing it.

But no matter what, we should give it a try.

"However, it seems that this Jade Lock Golden Gate Art is only suitable for male cultivators like you."

Suddenly, Meng Huang'er's face flushed slightly, and she said something that surprised Chen Mobai. However, he immediately realized what she meant and began to explain in a serious manner.

"This technique originally belonged to the secret method of the Ancient Dao Lineage True Yang Temple. It was created by the Patriarch True Yang. After mastering it, one's Essence Blood will not decline, and Yuanyang will be preserved forever."

"This True Yang Temple is originally a male-oriented Daoist sect, so there is no such thing as eternally preserving one's Primordial Yin."

"However, I feel that the theory is the same, but the practice and implementation may need to be different due to the differences between men and women. But how exactly to make the changes still needs to be consulted with a professional."

Therefore, although Chen Mobai knew Tian Wenguang's method of cultivating the Jade Lock Golden Gate Art, he still needed to ask him for help, since Meng Huang'er would not follow his method.

However, Chen Mobai suddenly had a bold idea at this moment.

He himself has already mastered the Jade Lock Golden Gate Art and no longer has the trouble of losing his Yuanyang. So, could he use this to help Meng Huang'er comprehend it through repeated practice?

Why did I suddenly think of this? Could it be that I drank too much Snow Needle Immortal Bud and suddenly had an epiphany?! Chen Mobai was completely bewildered by his sudden thought.
