Three Acquaintances
"Everyone knows the legend of Purple Lightning and Azure Frost. If you become the master of the Purple Lightning Sword, wouldn't you be paired with Teacher Pei Qing Shuang?"
Yan Feng said strangely, "In the eyes of the Immortal Sect, Purple Lightning Azure Frost must be a pair."
"Hey, let's not bring this up again. It's one thing for me to be a guy, but Senior Pei is so elegant and refined. If word gets out, it will only damage her reputation."
Chen Mobai always knew how to consider a girl's reputation, and upon seeing such a trend from the outside world, he immediately corrected his attitude.
"Brother Chen, your character is impeccable, I admire you greatly."
Upon hearing this, Yan Feng couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.
On the Immortal Sect side, information is relatively transparent, and if someone wanted to investigate Pei Azurefrost's identity, they would basically know.
Despite the possibility of Chen Mobai wielding the Purple Lightning Sword, he kept his distance from this second-generation immortal, which made Yan Feng, who already respected him, admire him even more.
"Most of the people in our year of entrance exams who went through the final rounds have also Foundation Establishment."
The two began to talk about the past.
Their generation can be considered the Golden Great Era of Vermilion Cloud City in the last hundred years. Among the students who have graduated from this class, six people, namely Chen Mobai, Qing Nü, Yan Feng, Gong Xiangyu, Shi Yuanqing, and Cao Yaling, have successfully Foundation Establishment.
Among them Chen Mobai and Qing Nü were Dao Seed of the Dao Academy and were basically considered to be on the verge of forming their Core Formation.
Besides the six of them, there were also Kong Feichen and Yang Jing, two geniuses with Mutated Spiritual Root who had already been expelled from the Immortal Sect.
The last time Vermilion Cloud City had such outstanding students was a hundred years ago, during the Yu Tianguang True Person Scarlet Robe.
If Chen Mobai and Qing Nü can Core Formation, then their generation will instantly surpass the generation of the True Person Scarlet Robe, becoming the most outstanding generation in Vermilion Cloud City in a thousand years.
A thousand years ago, Vermilion Cloud City produced a cultivator Yan Canzhang had reached the Golden Core Perfection stage. Although he failed to Nascent Formation, he was still hailed as the most outstanding cultivator since the establishment of Vermilion Cloud City, this Blessed Land.
This Yan Canzhang was Yan Feng's ancestor and a graduate of the Mountain Sea Academy.
Yan Feng's coming here can be seen as a way of following in the footsteps of his ancestors.
"I see. No wonder you had the Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman back then."
After Chen Mobai and Yan Feng talked about Yan Canzhang, a look of realization flashed across Chen Mobai's face.
"Actually, before my ancestor passed away, he left behind hundreds of Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman. After I used that one, there were still more than a dozen left in the family, but in order to make more money, we claimed that they were all extinct."
Yan Feng recounted the incident with a smile.
In the Immortal Sect, the lineage is well-ordered. Before powerful upper-level cultivators pass away, they will generally leave behind enough wealth for their descendants to cultivate for several generations.
For example, Ancestor Zhongli left behind a furnace of Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill and a furnace of Infant Nurturing Pill. If his descendants are ambitious, every generation will produce Nascent Soul cultivators, which is enough to maintain the lineage for ten thousand years.
Although Yan Canzhang was only a Golden Core True Person, he was Fourth-tier Talisman Master.
The Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman is his masterpiece.
Before his death, although he had used up most of his Merit Points and wealth in order to prolong his life, he still had the skill of drawing talismans.
One hundred Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman are the legacy left to future generations.
As one of the few "rankless" Talisman in the Immortal Sect, a single Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman can be exchanged for a complete set of the Foundation Establishment Trio.
It is precisely because of this that, a thousand years after Yan Canzhang's death, the Yan Family has Foundation Establishment True Cultivator in every generation.
"Since the Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman is so precious, why don't you descendants of the Yan Family find a way to draw it yourselves?"
Chen Mobai was just an ordinary citizen in Vermilion Cloud City, so he didn't know that the Yan Family was so powerful. No wonder Yan Feng was regarded as the king with the highest odds when he took the entrance exam.
Everyone believed he was destined to enter Four Great Dao Academies.
Hearing Chen Mobai's words, Yan Feng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Although this Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman has no rank, its drawing difficulty is almost the same as that of Third Grade high-grade talisman. Although our Yan Family has produced Third-tier Talisman Master, the success rate of drawing this Talisman is less than one percent."
"Moreover, drawing this Talisman requires Third Grade Azure Cloud Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Talisman Ink."
"The raw material for this Azure Cloud Talisman Paper is the pulp of the Third Grade Jade Wutong Tree, and the raw material for the Flying Rainbow Talisman Ink is also the Third Grade Danzhu Spirit Sand. At the peak of my Yan Family, we were able to purchase and produce them, but now I'm afraid there are no factories in the entire Immortal Sect that produce this Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink."
This Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman was created by Yan Canzhang in collaboration with another Fourth-tier Talisman Master from the Heavenly Script Academy. Therefore, the method for drawing this Talisman is in the Library of both academies. However, the Yan Family must also have Yan Canzhang on the drawing process.
Even so, a thousand years have passed, and among the descendants of the Yan Family, not a single cultivator has yet fully mastered the Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman.
"I see..."
After listening, Chen Mobai nodded in understanding, then took out his phone and searched for information about the Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman on the Forum of the Talisman Master Association.
Soon, a complete set of video materials on how to make this Talisman, from the preparation of the Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink to the drawing techniques, appeared.
The president of the Talisman Master Association is Yu Yi Shangren, the principal of the Heavenly Script Academy and a Fifth Order Talisman Master.
Therefore, it is perfectly normal for the Talisman Master Association to have all the information about this Talisman.
There are many posts on the Forum related to the Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman, which describe the various difficulties encountered when drawing this Talisman.
The Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink of the Third Grade and above are basically all custom-made.
Since the raw materials for Azure Cloud Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Talisman Ink are all from Vermilion Cloud City, they are usually sourced from Talisman Factory nearby.
However, due to the generally low level of factories in Vermilion Cloud City, there are no longer any Talisman cultivators capable of producing Third Grade Azure Cloud Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Talisman Ink.
However, even before, only cultivators from the Yan Family were skilled at making it.
That's why Yan Feng said that no one in the entire Immortal Sect could produce them anymore, because in their family, only their Foundation Establishment Grand Uncle still possessed these skills.
But this Ancestor of the Yan Family is now retired and enjoying his old age.
After seeing Yan Feng off, Chen Mobai was thinking about whether he could make the Azure Cloud Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Talisman Ink his next goal once his Talisman Factory was on track.
If I pass the exam to become Third-tier Talisman Master, I can set the Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman as my next goal.
After all, if this thing were to be brought to the Eastern Wasteland, it would definitely be able to earn a lot of Spirit Stone.
It's quite nice to occasionally contact old classmates; it even helps me come up with ideas for making money.
As Chen Mobai thought about this, he also thought of Yan Bingxuan.
Anyway, we now know everything about the Purple Lightning Sword. The final round won't be until the end of the year, so maybe we should go back to Chicheng Cave Heaven first.
Then go to the Eastern Wasteland to see if you can buy Water Mist Ice Crystal, since Yan Bingxuan will definitely try to break through to Foundation Establishment this year after obtaining Snow Elf Water.
Even if we fail, at least we'll have another chance next year.
Moreover, Meng Huang'er has already comprehended the Critical Point Method. If she can Foundation Establishment as soon as possible, it would be a relief for Chen Mobai.
However, just as Chen Mobai was about to take his leave, Pei Azurefrost suddenly came to inform him that the final round had been moved up.
What's going on?
Chen Mobai was a little confused.
"To avoid any unforeseen complications, and since all four of you are at the Mountain Sea Academy, let's not waste your time and just settle things directly."
Pei Azurefrost shrugged and spoke the truth.
However, Chen Mobai felt that the Mountain Sea Academy was being too cautious. The Reincarnation Body of the Old Ancestor Bai Guang had already been eliminated by Hao Cao, so it was impossible for a second Nascent Soul reincarnation to disturb their final round.
But since it was the decision made by the organizer, the Mountain Sea Academy, who had the final say, and it was entirely beneficial to them, Chen Mobai naturally wouldn't object.
When is the final round?
Chen Mobai asked the most crucial question.
"Seven days later, the twelve peerless sword geniuses selected by Teacher Hao Cao will also arrive one by one. At that time, there will be sixteen of you to be chosen by the Purple Lightning Sword."
After Pei Azurefrost finished speaking, Chen Mobai nodded, indicating that he was ready.
In any case, in terms of cultivation level, he couldn't possibly surpass those three Golden Core True Person within a year, so this was actually better.
It all depends on whether the Purple Lightning Sword likes Spirit Stone.
"Don't let me down."
Before leaving, Pei Azurefrost's eyes flickered, and she said something that made Chen Mobai frown slightly.
"Just do your best."
He wanted to say something, but when he met Pei Azurefrost's clear and handsome eyes, he could only utter this sentence.
I don't think I'm that close to her, am I?
Watching Xiuya's retreating figure as she turned and left, Chen Mobai muttered to himself.
However, he immediately put these trivial matters out of his mind and began to wholeheartedly prepare for the final round of the Purple Lightning Sword Selection.
Since the Mountain Sea Academy was not his territory, he dared not take out his storage bag or teleport to the Eastern Wasteland here.
It had been a while since I'd contacted Meng Huang'er, so I decided to go to the hotel where she was staying.
Given Chen Mobai's personality, once Meng Huang'er had mastered the Critical Point Method, he would have definitely returned to the normal state before their transaction.
To avoid suspicion, he also booked a room at that hotel.
After drawing a Talisman in the room to prevent prying eyes, he took out all the Spirit Stone from his storage bag.
The most precious of these is, of course, the five High-grade Spirit Stone.
These were originally meant for the Formless Puppet to condense Pure Yang Purple Qi, but Chen Mobai thought that if he used up all the High-grade Spirit Stone, wouldn't he be unable to unleash the Formless Puppet's Foundation Establishment level strength when facing a powerful enemy in the future? Moreover, the Pure Yang Purple Qi wouldn't be very effective for him now, so after condensing half of the Yellow Gourd, almost a whole stalk, he decisively stopped.
In addition to these five High-grade Spirit Stone, there were also Raw Spirit Stone obtained from Lone Soul Ridge.
The spiritual energy contained in this huge Spirit Stone is roughly equivalent to three or four High-grade Spirit Stone, but since Chen Mobai absorbed some of it when he consumed the Immortal Peach Fruit, it is now probably less than the amount of three High-grade Spirit Stone.
But Chen Mobai felt that this was the best gift for Purple Lightning Sword.
After all, this Raw Spirit Stone was enormous, large enough for the Purple Lightning Sword to penetrate and fully enjoy the spiritual energy. If we disregard the Spirit Stone's grade, this was the kind of treatment the Sea Stabilizing Sword would receive.
After deciding on the treatment for Purple Lightning Sword, Chen Mobai was about to return to Little South Mountain when he suddenly saw a text message on his phone.
It belongs to Meng Huang'er.
Is it convenient for you to come now?
Chen Mobai looked at it, somewhat confused, and asked, "Should I go over there or you come over to me?"
Meng Huang'er: [Either is fine.]
Chen Mobai: [Then come over here. I've drawn Talisman in my room, making it more concealed and safer.]
A moment later, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Mobai got up and opened the door. Before he could say anything, her hot and beautiful body had already snuggled into his arms, and then her long, white legs in high heels closed the door behind her.
afterwards.
Chen Mobai returned to the Mountain Sea Academy with a long sigh on his face.
If he had known it would turn out like this, he definitely wouldn't have gone to Meng Huang'er's place, Bailang.
However, what's done is done, and all we can do is learn from the experience and try not to repeat it next time.
Thinking of this, Chen Mobai shook his head, clearing his mind of all sorts of images that were not conducive to cultivation, and began to wait for the final round of the Purple Lightning Sword.
Soon, the twelve peerless sword geniuses arrived at White Stone Cave Heaven one by one, arranged by the Mountain Sea Academy.
"Huh, it's you guys?"
Chen Mobai never expected that among these twelve peerless sword geniuses, there would be two acquaintances of his.
Moreover, after hearing that he was here, they actually came to visit him together.
"When I first saw it, I thought it was quite interesting, so I sent a White Stone."
As Zhongli Tianyu spoke, a faint air of arrogance appeared on his face.
He had just learned the Purple Sky Divine Thunder Sword Art, from which the Purple Thunder Great Law was derived. He spent three days mastering the Purple Sky Sword Qi and another three days figuring out the technique of injecting it into the White Stone.
Originally, he sent the letter to the Mountain Sea Academy just to join in the fun, but unexpectedly, Hao Cao actually selected him and certified him as an unparalleled genius in swordsmanship.
This made the already proud Zhongli Tianyu even more smug. He even wondered if he hadn't used his talent in the right direction for the past twenty years. If he had focused on swordsmanship from the beginning, would he be able to defeat Chen Mobai now?
"You bastard..."
Seeing Zhongli Tianyu's smug expression, Chen Mobai felt a sudden urge to punch him.
"Chief, I actually wanted to test my swordsmanship level. After learning about White Stone, I gave it a try. I didn't expect to be True Person Hao Cao."
Zhai Jianbai never expected that a piece of White Stone he casually sent out at the beginning of the year would receive a personal reply and invitation from the principal of the Mountain Sea Academy.
"How many sword energies did you infuse?"
Chen Mobai knew that compared to himself, the guy in front of him who Dao Awakening Foundation Establishment was a true genius in swordsmanship.
Therefore, regarding his selection as one of the twelve, I feel that Hao Cao truly deserves to be called Sword Dao Grandmaster, and his judgment is sound.
"Two paths."
Zhai Jianbai spoke frankly, even bringing out his own White Stone.
"Wait, isn't this thing only capable of injecting one stream?"
Zhongli Tianyu, standing to the side, looked puzzled when he saw the two different colored White Stone shimmering with golden light in Zhai Jianbai's hand.
"It seems you were chosen simply because the Purple Sky Sword Qi perfectly embodies the essence of the Purple Lightning Sword."
After explaining the principle of the White Stone, Chen Mobai mercilessly attacked Zhongli Tianyu.
"How many did you inject?"
Zhongli Tianyu seemed a little unconvinced and asked a question.
"Not many, just five."
Chen Mobai's nonchalant words made Zhongli Tianyu deflate.
"Excuse me, is Senior Chen Mobai here?"
Just then, the third peerless sword genius chosen by Hao Cao arrived.
