Secrets

"Then it's settled."

Chen Mobai and Pei Azurefrost made a high five to sign an oath, which can be considered as establishing a preliminary agreement.

However, it's not mandatory. If Pei Azurefrost comprehends it on her own in the future, then she won't need Chen Mobai's help.

Moreover, this matter will have to wait until both of them Core Formation, or even until Core Formation Perfected, who knows when that will be.

"I'll see you off tomorrow, and don't forget to say goodbye to Teacher Hao Cao."

Pei Azurefrost reminded Chen Mobai of something, then turned and left gracefully.

Since he was going back, he should definitely say hello to Meng Huang'er first. Chen Mobai had been concerned about her Foundation Establishment for more than half a year.

Chen Mobai: [We're going back to Chicheng Cave Heaven tomorrow. How are your preparations for Foundation Establishment going?]

Meng Huang'er: [Thanks to you, I've managed to snag both the Spirit Ascension Powder and the Qi Condensing Fluid. After a little preparation back home, I can try my Foundation Establishment attempt.]

Turtle Treasure Proxy capabilities are quite good. Chen Mobai claimed that he had asked a Golden Core True Person for help and learned in advance when the Foundation Establishment Trio would be available on the Immortal Sect Network this month.

As Big Star, Meng Huang'er was always busy with Merit Points. After learning the specific time, she kept an eye on it and easily managed to buy the Spirit Ascension Powder and Qi Condensing Fluid she needed.

Seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but feel relieved.

Now, she only hopes that with the Critical Point Method as her foundation, she can successfully establish her Foundation Establishment as soon as she returns.

Meng Huang'er: [Then I'll go book my return train ticket.]

Chen Mobai: [Why are you booking train tickets?]

Meng Huang'er: [?]

Chen Mobai: [That was to help you cultivate before. Now that you've succeeded, there's no need to do that anymore. Besides, that kind of thing is mentally and physically exhausting. You're about to prepare for Foundation Establishment, so you should take good care of your health and try to get yourself into peak condition.]

Upon hearing these words, Meng Huang'er, who was in the hotel, felt both ashamed and angry, her pretty face turning bright red.

But she also felt that Chen Mobai's words made a lot of Possessing the Dao, and that he was at least genuinely thinking about her, rather than just lusting after her body.

So she took two deep breaths, nodded in the gentlest and kindest tone, and said yes, indicating that she had learned something.

Chen Mobai: [Book two return tickets so we can avoid being on the same flight, to prevent being photographed and damaging your reputation.]

Meng Huang'er: [Okay, I'll take care of it right away.]

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mobai felt something was off.

Should we say hello to Zhongli Tianyu and Zhai Jianbai? After all, they are students of our own Dao Academy, and it would be better if they could go back together.

So he called Meng Huang'er again and asked her to order hers.

Chen Mobai: [I'll probably be coming back with Zhongli Tianyu and the others. Your Foundation Establishment is more important; there's still a lot of preparation work to be done. You can go back on your own first.]

Although Meng Huang'er felt a little regretful, she could also distinguish between what was important and what was not, knowing that for her, successfully Foundation Establishment before graduation was the most important thing.

Sword Sharpening Hall.

Hao Cao looked at Chen Mobai, who was taking his leave, with a strange gaze, seemingly looking at him with new respect.

To be honest, he never expected that the winner of the final round would be Chen Mobai, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Reflecting on his own plans, Hao Cao could only lament that human calculations are no match for fate.

"Practice diligently, and I hope to see you dedicate yourself to the way of the sword in the future."

Finally, Hao Cao said those words and waved goodbye.

Chen Mobai bowed and nodded, then stood up, gripped the Purple Lightning Sword, and turned to leave the Sword Sharpening Hall.

After Zhongli Tianyu and Zhai Jianbai arrived, the latter shook his head.

"I won't go back for now. There are many excellent Sword Cultivator here. I have already applied to Director Zuo for an internship and I may have to stay here for half a year."

Zhai Jianbai had always felt that with Chen Mobai's unparalleled talent, he would definitely not be able to compete with him for the Purple Lightning Sword. After arriving at the Mountain Sea Academy, he devoted himself to exchanging ideas with the Sword Cultivator here, and gained a lot, feeling that he had the opportunity to master the Sword Light.

So now I have no plans to leave and want to continue my studies at the Mountain Sea Academy.

"Alright then, take care of yourself."

As the Chief the Dao Academy, Chen Mobai was quite concerned about Zhai Jianbai's situation at the Mountain Sea Academy. When Pei Azurefrost drove them over, she also mentioned this matter and asked her to help take care of him.

"I'll talk to Linghu Xian."

Pei Azurefrost was too lazy to deal with such trivial matters, so she made a phone call to the current Chief the Mountain Sea Academy.

Thanks.

After Chen Mobai and Pei Azurefrost reached an agreement on cooperation, Chen Mobai felt that they were now friends, and he became much more casual in his conversations.

"Let's go, I'll take you to White Stone Cave Heaven."

Pei Azurefrost nodded and started her car.

Within the Cave Heaven, cultivators cannot fly, but they can operate registered vehicles. She was the one who picked up Chen Mobai when he arrived.

"Would you mind bringing one more person?"

Just as Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu got into the car and arrived at a bus stop, he suddenly saw Shi Wanyu carrying large and small bags, and turned to Pei Azurefrost to ask her a question.

"There are still seats available, feel free to take them."

Chen Mobai nodded and rolled down the car window.

As a girl, Shi Wanyu rarely comes to the Mountain Sea Academy. In addition to her own travel items, she also bought a lot of souvenirs for her friends and family.

Since she didn't have any storage bags, her luggage looked a bit too much.

After the Purple Lightning Sword Recognize Master, she lost interest in swordsmanship and had no intention of staying at the Mountain Sea Academy for long. After buying souvenirs, she booked a ticket back to Chicheng Cave Heaven, where she happened to run into Chen Mobai and his group.

Just as she was waiting for the bus, a car stopped in front of her, the window rolled down, and a face appeared that surprised and delighted her.

Let's go together.

Upon hearing Chen Mobai's words, Shi Wanyu beamed with joy.

Chen Mobai got out of the car and helped her put her luggage in the trunk. Then he let her sit in the passenger seat, while he and Zhongli Tianyu sat in the back.

After Chen Mobai helped Shi Wanyu into the car, he naturally made introductions.

"This is Pei Azurefrost, a teacher at the Mountain Sea Academy, and also my friend."

Upon hearing this, Pei Azurefrost, who was already driving, nodded somewhat coldly as a response.

"This is Shi Wanyu, a student of the Flowing Light Academy, my good friend, and also a participant in the final round of the Purple Lightning Sword competition."

After Chen Mobai, Shi Wanyu greeted the stunning Pei Azurefrost with great restraint.

Upon hearing her name, Pei Azurefrost's hands tightened, and her pupils constricted slightly.

She glanced at Chen Mobai and Shi Wanyu with a very strange expression, and then her usually cold and beautiful face suddenly softened like a spring breeze, beaming with smiles.

"Hello, my friends all like to call me Cui'er. If you'd like, you can call me that too."

Chen Mobai was completely baffled by Pei Azurefrost's words.

Isn't this guy supposed to be indifferent to everyone? Even with Zhongli Tianyu, she didn't seem to say much to him.

Could it be because Shi Wanyu pretty? Thinking about it this way, it seems that Pei Azurefrost's best friends, Wenren Xuewei and Yan Qiongzhi, are all good-looking. This guy seems to be a looks-obsessed person.

Since students get half-price tickets, Shi Wanyu booked a train ticket, and Pei Azurefrost took her there first.

When they parted, the two women added each other as friends.

"Bye-Bye."

Shi Wanyu happily said goodbye to them.

Chen Mobai responded with a smile, but in his heart he felt that he might never have the chance to see her again.

"The final round of the Purple Lightning Sword competition will include Qi Cultivation Cultivator, so to avoid excessive public attention, participants can choose to participate anonymously."

After being dropped off at the Airport, while Zhongli Tianyu was getting out of the car to unload his luggage, Pei Azurefrost, who was sitting in the driver's seat, suddenly said something to Chen Mobai.

"Oh, if I had known this would happen, I would have chosen to remain anonymous as well."

Chen Mobai was unaware of this. He was currently troubled by his growing fame, and upon hearing her words, he couldn't help but sigh.

Pei Azurefrost saw that Chen Mobai only understood the surface meaning of her words, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not say anything more.

If it weren't for the chance encounter today, and the fact that she had handled that White Stone, she probably wouldn't have known that Teacher Hao Cao would do something like this to avoid taking the blame in the future.

No wonder they selected twelve peerless sword geniuses; they deliberately created a maze.

But after learning the truth, Pei Azurefrost was even more amazed by Chen Mobai's talent.

"Keep in touch when you have time."

After saying those words with a smile that she wasn't good at, Pei Azurefrost watched Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu enter the Airport.

Waiting room.

"She must be Peach Blossom Venerable's daughter. I never imagined she'd be living such a good life..."

As a descendant of a family of Nascent Soul cultivators, Zhongli Tianyu seemed to know some inside information, muttering to himself after Pei Azurefrost left.

What do you mean by that?

After hearing his words, Chen Mobai asked curiously, wondering if Pei Azurefrost had suffered a serious illness like him when she was a child.

Do you know who her father is?

Zhongli Tianyu asked a question in return, and Chen Mobai shook his head.

Information is relatively transparent within the Immortal Sect, but the section for Peach Blossom Venerable partner has always been empty, so no one knows who Pei Azurefrost's Father is.

You know?

"I don't know either."

"Then you tell me..."

Before Chen Mobai could utter a curse word, he heard the announcement that his flight was about to board.

The two had booked first class. After the tall and beautiful flight attendant left, Zhongli Tianyu told a story he had heard when he was a child.

"Peach Blossom Venerable is Peach Blossom spirit that transforms into a human."

Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback after hearing this. "Isn't it said that there is a reproductive barrier between humans and demons, making it absolutely impossible for them to have offspring?"

"That's right, so Pei Azurefrost almost died when she was born."

"The Goumang Dao Academy even sought help from our Zhongli Family because our ancestor left behind several pieces of Mystic Turtle Shell, which are highly effective in replenishing vital energy."

"However, it wasn't needed later. The Venerable Sanjue Master of the Imperial Medical Academy intervened and sealed Pei Azurefrost back into her mother's womb."

After listening to Zhongli Tianyu's words, Chen Mobai couldn't help but fall into thought.

"Could it be that Pei Azurefrost's Father isn't human either?"

He shook his head as soon as he asked the question.

Within the Immortal Sect, there are only legal regulations prohibiting marriage registration between humans and demons who are reproductively isolated. If both individuals are of the same type of demon, there is absolutely no need to hide it.

"The higher-ups must know the inside story of this matter. Our Zhongli Clan hasn't produced a Nascent Soul cultivator for a long time, so our relationship with the higher-ups has weakened, and we're not very aware of it."

Zhongli Tianyu only remembered this incident because his family had mentioned it when Peach Blossom Venerable was a child, and seeing Pei Azurefrost today reminded him of it immediately.

"Her father's surname should be Pei. Are there any people with this surname among the Golden Core Immortal Sect or Nascent Soul realm cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm?"

Chen Mobai asked, "As Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, shouldn't Peach Blossom Venerable be at least Golden Core cultivator to be her Daoist partner?"

Zhongli Tianyu waved his hand, indicating that he never cared about this issue.

Fortunately, the internet is now well-developed, and cultivators at the Golden Core stage and above are all Councilor of the Opening the Origin Hall. Chen Mobai searched and found two Golden Core True Person with the surname Pei.

I wonder if she is Peach Blossom Venerable's Daoist partner?

Chen Mobai treated this matter as mere Eight Trigrams, using it as a way to pass the time during his journey.

When he returned to Chicheng Cave Heaven, he completely forgot about the incident.

Who Pei Azurefrost's father is, what business is it of his?

Wuqi Dao Academy Building One, Wuqi Daoyuan.

"You kid, you didn't embarrass me."

In the office, Che Yucheng looked at the Purple Lightning Sword that Chen Mobai had brought over and nodded with pride.

He had been busy with this matter and finally managed to get the news to Venerable Cheng Xuan. If Chen Mobai couldn't get the Purple Lightning Sword, all his hard work would have been for nothing.

"Teacher, I've already told you, this Purple Lightning Sword is perfect for me. On the Sword Tower, just by holding the Sword Hilt, I felt the supreme state of Human Sword Unity. If I hadn't not yet Core Formation, the Purple Lightning Sword would probably have already Recognize Master on the spot..."

In front of Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai was like a child showing off his outstanding achievements to his parents. He basically just rewrote the words that the outside media were exaggerating about him, and he almost believed them himself.

"Alright, alright, I've heard those words before."

Che Yucheng immediately interrupted Chen Mobai's retelling, as he had already seen these things while surfing the internet.

"The Purple Lightning Sword is Fourth Tier Sword Artifact. If you want to wield it, you must at least reach the Core Formation Realm, or master the Cantong Qi and make it your natal Comprehend Together."

After hearing this, Chen Mobai looked troubled.

If he could learn the Cantong Qi, he would have done so long ago.

Che Yucheng only mentioned it briefly, since the Purple Lightning Sword was already in Chen Mobai's hands anyway, and then he brought up another matter.

"You'll be graduating next year. Which department are you planning to choose for your graduation project?"

The graduation project at the Wuqi Dao Academy is relatively simple: you just need to choose one of the departments you've studied and make a Second Grade- tier item.

For example, someone Talisman Department could draw a Second Grade Talisman; someone Artifact Refining Department could forge a Second Tier Magic Tool...

"Of course, my first choice is your Puppetry Department, teacher."

Chen Mobai spoke his mind, and for him, creating a Second Grade Puppetry was a very simple matter.

"This year, the principal has just finished his retreat and will give some extra rewards to students who have submitted Third Grade results in their graduation projects in recent years."

Che Yucheng finally got to the point.

"What reward?"

Chen Mobai's eyes lit up, and he asked.

The items that a Nascent Soul cultivator brings out can't be bad, right?
